A stone square courtyard is the first aspect of the grounds that you come to after you travel through the corridor. Surrounded by magnificent stone columns adorned with luscious ivy and slight lily growth, the courtyard provides students with benches to sit on with their friends or for the one who just wishes for some peace and quiet. Also, in the middle stands a very illustrious Wishing Fountain.
Oh. That was not good. Because everyone else seemed to have left. "Do you know anyone with a silver bag?" He didn't know many Slytherins. Except Sierra. And she had gone somewhere.
Most students have left the courtyard. Both Aiden and Conan are among the few left. Aiden's stoic face turns into a frown. She is not good at accepting defeat. Then, she turns around at Conan. "Not those who groupless," she says coldly. Her grey eyes are piercing Conan's. "Everyone I know with silver bags have move ahead."

Ooh, more coins. But wait! "Not just any coins, coins with the house colours on..." She said, the she glanced down at the map... the four coins were... "That's where the common rooms are... What d'you think that means?" she said, looking up at the Hufflepuff girl.
"And everyone else is throwing their coins into the fountain... should we do that?" she asked, fingering the little gold discs in her palm.

The older girl looked...scary/terrifying/ate kittens in her spare time. Yeah. I do she said, passing the map over to them as it started to change. Ooh. Funky. COLOOOURSS. Pretty colours.
She looked at each of the bags as they were produced, slightly mesmerised by their jewel colours before looking back to the map and trying to work out what was going on
Amy had been quiet for once in her life as she'd tried to work out the map, because at that moment, it made no sense whatsoever. None. Coins and a map. Coins and a map? Coins? Map? Made nooo sense. None. I dunno, she shrugged, but I do think we should chuck them in she nodded, watching others do that very thing. After all, what have we to lose?

"What is sleeping beauty by the way? People keep mentioning it... and something about spinny wheels and magic princes or something..." she trailed off, assuming it was a muggle thing. All the same, she still wanted to know...
"WAIT!" Aurora suddenly had an idea. "The coins on the map are flashing! Try and figure out what order, maybe that's the order they go in the fountain!" because most people seemed to have concentrated on the map a while before throwing in their coins.
Did it matter if they had house colors on them? What did matter was what Rora just said about the common rooms. Wait, seriously? For the love of Merlin, did they have to wander around to each common room!?
Yet, the others, they weren't doing that. Which was a bit of relief actually...
Staring at the map, her eyes flicked to each of the coins, and then the words. Make a wish. "Who needs to learn some respect now?" she muttered, glancing to Rora out of the corner of her eyes. She had something against Gryffindors? And how many Gryffindors did that include? Ignoring the talk about sleeping beauty, Evelyn turned her attention to the map once more.
...
Well alright, she was listening, and she was rather tempted to correct the young girl. Spinny wheels? PLEASE. Everyone knew sleeping beauty was about the girl dying after eating the apple a dragon gave her. Eesh.
Evelyn jumped slightly when Rora yelled out, and gave her a MIGHTY SCOWL. It was a nice thought though, so she couldn't really argue with her. "Might as well try it out."
Dude. The Pensevies aint got nothing on you. Aslan is the God

Amy grinned at the girl with the pretty name, Aurora, bit harsh she shrugged, she knew a few gryffindors but not many, but most of the gryffindors were perfectly nice, except from that hyper ginger girl she'd met in her second year who had pushed her over delibaratley. No. She didn't like that gryffindor, not one bit.
Uhm, it's a muggle fairy tale she nodded, about a beautiful princess who pricks her finger on a spinning wheel and she falls into a deep sleep and is woken up with by a prince with true-loves-kiss she said, saying the last few words slightly dreamily. OOOOH. YEAH. Amy looked down at the map, okay, so if I look, you throw?

"Just a joke," said Aurora, turning to Amy. "Doesn't matter..."
"Ooh, so I'm a princess?" Aurora smiled. "Cool... shame about the true-loves-kiss thing. That must be one powerful love potion." she said, laughing a little.
"Great! You read out the order and we'll throw them in." Aurora held the coins in her hands. Blue in left hand and red in right and waited for Amy to read out the colours.
Braeden was laying down on one of the stone benches of the courtyard. He was on his back, using his bookbag as a pillow as his brown eyes stared up ahead with immense concentration, causing his bushy eyebrows to furrow and making him oblivious to the rest of the world.
He was reading.
It was an unusual sight, but upon closer inspection one could see the boy wasn't ready a philosophy book or any other sort of school book. He was reading a comic book. Because he was Braeden Stonem, and that's what doof Gryffindorks named Braeden Stonem are into. Movies and comic books.
"Braedennnnnnnnnn!" Charlie yelled as she ran towards the Gryffindor cub. "What are yo...Wah! Oooff!" The next thing Charlie knew she was on her back in a puddle of mud, having slipped in a slippery area.
Sitting up, Charlie looked around dazed. Well. That could have gone better. Char looked to Braeden, hoping he didn't see. Seeing as they hadn't seen each other in ages. That would be embarrassing.
Bang! Oops. There was a post there. Mikey shrugged it off and continued running down the corridor dodging the passing students and finally got to the couryard. And yet he wasn't out of breath. That worked how? But then it may have been his adrenaline or even just the amount of sugar he'd had before he went running to the courtyard. Quick and easy way to lose weight, go running. But running was only good when he was hyper up. He only had the energy then. The little first year went and laid down on his back on one of the empty concrete benches, staring up at the blue sky.

"There's a post right there..." Carter warned a student he saw running down the corridor. Although, his warning was much too late. The little kid hit the post.
He decided to follow the kid... you know, to make fun of him to see if he was alright.
"Hey. You okay?" he asked jogging over to the kid who was now lying on a bench. Hopefully the boy hadn't knocked himself out.
Although, Carter wouldn't deny that that would be hilarious... as long as no permanent damage was done of course.

"Braedennnnnnnnnn!"
MERLIN'S SAGGY SOCKS!
With brown eyes wide as saucers, Braeden flailed about for a moment, completely startled at the sound of his name. Unable to keep his balance as he sat up far too quickly, the boy ended up falling back from the stone bench, landing on his back while his legs remained on the bench. Ouch.
"Aaarghh..."
As he rubbed the back of his head and pulled his legs down from the bench, Braeden looked around for the source of his earlier freak out. It was at that moment that he spotted a short girl with bright, almost-white, short blonde hair. His eyes nearly fell from their sockets.
"Charlie?" he asked disbelievingly, scrambling up to his feet and wiping the dirt off his uniform for a brief second before rushing over to the girl and taking her arm, helping her up to her feet.
But of course. Of course they would reunite in the clumsiest of ways humanly possible: with her in a puddle of mud, and him slipping from his bench to the floor. Of course.
"Oh ok." Why was she being so....cold? "It is just a game. You do know that, right?" he said, with a concerned smile on his face. She was about the same age as him and she had already developed a coldness. No good. Not in his books. Now the piercing. She was staring at him, like he had done something wrong. "Maybe we should talk to Treyen he might just let us go." Yes Treyen would. Cos Treyen loved Conan.
For a moment, Aiden hesitates. She has never spoken to Prefect Lockhart before. Let alone asking him whether he could let them go. After staring at the elder Badger for a while, Aiden gives an approving nod. "Sure," she says before pausing. "Maybe you should do it," Aiden sounds a little reluctant.
"There's a post right there..." Carter warned a student he saw running down the corridor. Although, his warning was much too late. The little kid hit the post.

Mikey turned his head slightly. Was he trying to be funny? No denying, he would've been the same if it was him in his position but that was just plain mean. He sat up swiftly when the clearly older boy approached him. "I'm fine....Thanks for taking concern" he replied....Umm....Yeah....Mikey wasn't going to be very comfortable in this conversation.
He shrugged it off and moved over so the older boy could sit down. Hmm. Yeah. What to say next? That was the question. Mikey looked at him and half-smiled. "I'm Mikey by the way...Or to you now the boy who ran into a post" he replied feeling sure that was how he or this conversation was going to be remembered. Or maybe the boy would even go and laugh about it with his funny friends.Who knew?

Charlie took Braeden's hand and stood before trying to wipe as much mud off as possible. "Well. Hello Braeden. It's... ahem... wonderful to see you again." Charlie blushed, red spreading over her whole face. "Long time no see eh?" The Huffelpuff subtly eyed the Gryffindor boy noticing that while older looking he still had his wonderfully shaggy and apparently a great tan. "Out in the sun a lot then?" Charlie asked with a smirk, before remembering what transpired not two minutes ago. Merlin pants, she thought with a sigh.
Great. This was just what she needed. To be completely covered in mud and for him to have fallen . . . "Oh Braeden! Are you okay? Did you hit your head? Do you need to be taken to the nurse? Oh Merlin, I am soo sorry!" Her hands flew to her face in mortification. This was just perfect.
Hazel eyes peeked out between long fingers before drawing closed in a wince. "I really am sorry."

Hazel eyes peeked out between long fingers before drawing closed in a wince. "I really am sorry."
Once both the Gryffindork and the Hufflepuff were back up on their feet facing each other, Braeden fell into realization. GAH. This was Charlie. He'd known that, obviously, but… it was Charlie. He'd almost forgotten… they had a bit of a history. As the girl blushed, looking as beautiful as she always did when her face went pink, the poor boy couldn't help but blush as well, turning his gaze away to the puddle of mud like it was the most amazing piece of art he had ever seen.
"Ye--yeah, I, uh… got a bit of sun over the break…" he said with a soft, awkward chuckle. He was swinging his arms by his sides awkwardly, finding that he suddenly needed something solid to hold just to keep himself busy. Oh, this was a bit uncomfortable… What had happened?! Even before dating, they got along wonderfully. They were great friends.
"So…" he spoke again after a moment's silence, clearing his throat. "How've you been? I feel like I haven't seen you in years! You look… well, you look great," the boy confessed honestly with one of his trademark lopsided grins.
hahaha, the personalities of many have just rubbed off on him XD

Carter chuckled. "Good. Because that would make for an awkward conversation to the nurse had you been knocked out." And by that... he meant awkward for this kid. He'd probably be trying his hardest not to laugh when he explained what he saw.
He took the seat next to him. "Carter." he said holding out his hand for the younger boy to shake. "And don't worry. That little nickname will be safe with me." Although, he may have to snicker every time he saw the little kid. But he often did that every time he saw Destiny. So... no big deal.
"Where were you off to in such a hurry?" he asked. Perhaps this bench was popular among the lower classmen?

*Cough* Charlie shuffled her Converse clad feet while staring at a tree. "Oh you know. Been good. Hung out with the little cousins all break. And thank you. You look. . . um. . . handsome, like usual." Charlie suddenly saw a cloud that looked like a bird, so she just had to study it intently, missing the grin that she always lo . . . liked to see.
Why are you so nervous? asked the little voice which Charlie called Shudup. But it never did. "Soo. . . How was things this break?" Her toe dug into the dirt. This was Braeden. The person that she automatically got along with. and had missed all summer. Get it together, Char.
She then realized something, they were standing where they had first met. Or, to be exact, she had been tripped over and he had been the person to trip. Charlie smiled a soft smile. Good times. "By the way. Whatever happened to you coming 'round my place all summer as we live so close to each other? Or, if memory serves, 'being like gum under my shoes'?" Char smiled at the lion cub, finally meeting his eyes.

Samira walked around the courtyard in search of something to do or someone to talk to. Samira threw her dark hair over her shoulder as her bright eyes scanned the courtyard. Aha! There! Samira moved towards a younger looking girl confidently. "Hello," she said coolly. Normally she would never make the first move, let alone talk to someone in first year, but she was bored.

If she would be able to control what was happening around her, she wouldn't let that guy 20 feet from Kurumi. But of course, that wasn't her call to make...
Then she crossed, uncrossed, and crossed her arms over and over as she tapped her foot restlessly against the stone, she was feeling fine really, but she still can't help but wonder why he gave her flowers. Why he liked her. What did she do?
"Its not a right, its a privilege, really." She said smugly as she smiled. Although, it was increasingly becoming easier to get into the house. Its not just the elites and all that...
Then she grinned even when he disclaimed the fact that it really is cool. "Well at least you're half something" Cass said with a playful roll of her eyes. Since both sides of her family were from old, British, pureblood lines, she wasn't anything except British. She would have loved to be French. She did already speak the language after all.
She nodded vigorously when he asked if it was messy in there. "Surprisingly, yes." Then she shrugged carelessly, you would think that since they were girls they would be all neat and tidy with their things, but it seems that wasn't the case at all. "We don't really bother cleaning it since its all clean clothes that are scattered around the room anyway, and we're all almost the same size, well, us who are the same age..so we can freely burrow each other's clothes."
"Potions, huh?" She said with a shrug, it really wasn't surprising for a Slytherin to like potions, even if they didn't get special treatment from the scary head of house, it was really fun. There's just something deliciously devious about potions that draw Slytherins together. But she was surprised when he said that he liked Lafay too. That's where she would have to disagree. She really found Lafay scary.
She smiled when he said he played the piano too. "Oh! I can play the piano too!" She said enthusiastically. It turns out daily torture sessions Paino lessons payed off after all. "That is so cool!"
She backed slightly away as he leaned in. Nuh-uh. She's had enough of guys suddenly leaning in then stealing kisses from her. Justin may have been successful, same with Levi, but she was on her guard now. Then she thought for a while...What's to tell? "Well, uh, I dunno. I guess my favorite subject is History of Magic, I don't really have a favorite professor.." She said with a shrug before continuing "My favorite color is blue, pink comes in second. As you already know, I play the guitar and I often compose songs..."What else?
"Slytherins by blood" he smiled and looked down. Nah, Jonathan acts s much like a Slytherin. Of course he would be sorted in that house. Jonathan came from a different culture but he never fully grown up to be a pure Korean, well, besides the fact that his dad , relatives are Korean. He grew up in London, had English friends instead of Koreans. So that doesn't completely make him Korean. "Yeah, I guess it is fun" he looked at her this time.
Yeah, being half has its own perks.
If there is one thing Jonathan hates then it's MESS, well, he's also not a big fan of dirt but he can't stand anything messy. He probably would go blind instead. "Don't you guys use magic to clean?" that's what he does. Everytime he goes out all he does is to flick his wand and the things will just go back into place. Easy and simple.
"I have been in love with potions least to say" he chuckled. It's true. Ever since he was young all he does was read Potions book and Jonathan doesn't like reading. Besides, Lafay doesn't bite. He perfectly likes how Lafay teaches. She may be a complete terror but so what? Lafay treats Jonathan nicely."Are you scared of her?" he arched an eyebrow. She could be you know, many students are afraid of the Potions lady.
Wow. She plays the piano too? Awesome. "At least, we have something in common" he mumbled. Now, he knows something a little bit about Cass.
Jonathan smiled as she backed away. "What?" he said "I'm not the kind of guy." Just so she wants to know.

Jonathan smiled as she backed away. "What?" he said "I'm not the kind of guy." Just so she wants to know.
She smiled sheepishly. Who knew Slytherin girls would be so messy? Well, third year Slytherin girls were. She didn't know - or care - about the others. "Well, I do sometimes, but then it just gets tiring to keep on cleaning." She answered with a rueful smile followed by a sigh "Besides, like I said, we take great care in making sure that the clothes around us are clean. No laundry, or food crumbs or whatever." Honestly, they were so dedicated on keeping the floor spotless so that the clothes on it stayed spotless too. It was pretty weird now that you think about it. "We would get to cleaning th room once every few weeks or when we start to lose small things like bracelets and such, but anything else, the room stays like that." Then she grinned "But it does have a good side. We don't ever run out of things to wear." How could you when you were sharing with so many girls who had exemplary fashion sense.
"How come?" She asked curiously, she liked potions well enough, well, it was one of the subjects she enjoyed, but she wouldn't go as far as declaring her love for it... Then she nodded, hiding her face with the cascade of hair that had covered it, she was never one to admit weakness and all that, and fear of Lafay was definitely a weakness, one that she shared with most of the population of Hogwarts "Terribly afraid to be honest." She admitted "I'm not sure why though...I guess I just find her intimidating."
Then she tucked her hair back behind her ears and eyed him curiously "You make it sound like we're complete opposites." She said, her tone teasing, but a frown on her face
She smiled softly, not quite reaching her eyes though, "That's nice to know. I appreciate it." Then she added "What kind of guy are you then?"
Carter chuckled. "Good. Because that would make for an awkward conversation to the nurse had you been knocked out." And by that... he meant awkward for this kid. He'd probably be trying his hardest not to laugh when he explained what he saw.
He took the seat next to him. "Carter." he said holding out his hand for the younger boy to shake. "And don't worry. That little nickname will be safe with me." Although, he may have to snicker every time he saw the little kid. But he often did that every time he saw Destiny. So... no big deal.
"Where were you off to in such a hurry?" he asked. Perhaps this bench was popular among the lower classmen?
Mikey cocked an eyebrow. Awkward for the way this boy was bound to explain it. He was running down the corridor and ran into a post and knocked himself out Yay. What a conversation. He was sure Carter would find it hilarious. "It'd be a pretty funny story to tell though. In a wierd slightly horrible kinda way" he replied. Yeah, very horrible for a little first year like Mikey.
Being laughed at was not his best thing. He'd been laughed at by a lot of people and none of them people he could laugh along with. He hoped Carter wouldn't be one of them. "Nice meeting you, Carter" he replied shaking his hand. He let go and allowed his hand to fall to his side. "The nickname will be a secret until the next person watches me smack into a post and almost knock myself out. Too much sugar doesn't help matters" Sugar was his weak point. He was addicted to the stuff. Candy mostly.
Mikey shrugged. "Nowhere in particular, I was meant to be just wondering around but I ended up running instead" he repleid. Again, too much sugar made him hyper. And gave him a little too much energy for his own good. Too much energy led to trouble where Mikey was concerned.

Carter chuckled and gave the boy a friendly slap on the shoulder. "That's the spirit. Just laugh about it." That way Carter wouldn't feel as bad when he inevitably burst out laughing.
"Well perhaps next time you should wait until you reach your destination before you indulge in sugar." he suggested with a chuckle. "Or... you know, not run through the halls." Either way worked.
He returned the shrug. "I've done that too from time to time." he said. Of course, he hadn't ever run unto a post doing it. He had taken a wrong turn once and ended up walking into a wall behind a tapestry thinking it was a corridor. He was glad he hadn't been running at the time.
Of course, he probably should have been. He had been late to class that day.

Mikey smiled slightly. That was the spirit? He was only laughing about it so that this conversation wouldn't be awkward. But it still was. Not because he'd just done the stupidest thing ever but because Carter was much older than he was. And he felt rather awkward around older boys. Especially when he'd watched him run into a post. "Laughing about it won't make it change though" he replied truthfully. No matter how much he wished it would change.
He smiled. "Or I can do better than both and quit sugar all together" Yeah that sounded like a great idea. Then he couldn't get too excited and run into anything else whilst on a sugar high. He was sure he was the only first year to indulge in so much sugar.
Mikey sighed and crossed his legs on the bench. Meh. This conversation actually was pretty good. Considering he felt awkward around the older boy. A little boy with a big boy? It was kinda shocking seeing as he was always picked on by the big boys. "I think everyone has at least once in their lives" he replied. But that was just what he thought.

She answered with a rueful smile followed by a sigh "Besides, like I said, we take great care in making sure that the clothes around us are clean. No laundry, or food crumbs or whatever." Honestly, they were so dedicated on keeping the floor spotless so that the clothes on it stayed spotless too. It was pretty weird now that you think about it. "We would get to cleaning th room once every few weeks or when we start to lose small things like bracelets and such, but anything else, the room stays like that." Then she grinned "But it does have a good side. We don't ever run out of things to wear." How could you when you were sharing with so many girls who had exemplary fashion sense.
"How come?" She asked curiously, she liked potions well enough, well, it was one of the subjects she enjoyed, but she wouldn't go as far as declaring her love for it... Then she nodded, hiding her face with the cascade of hair that had covered it, she was never one to admit weakness and all that, and fear of Lafay was definitely a weakness, one that she shared with most of the population of Hogwarts "Terribly afraid to be honest." She admitted "I'm not sure why though...I guess I just find her intimidating."
Then she tucked her hair back behind her ears and eyed him curiously "You make it sound like we're complete opposites." She said, her tone teasing, but a frown on her face
She smiled softly, not quite reaching her eyes though, "That's nice to know. I appreciate it." Then she added "What kind of guy are you then?"
Weird, how cleaning is tiring. At least not to Jonathan. Maybe it's because of his ability to put things back into proper places or the fact that he never likes a messy room. But it's okay, as long as they don't end up fighting whoever owns something. You know how girls are sometimes. "That's really fun" he said after Cass mentioned about how they never ran out of things to wear. Jonathan remembered how he sent his mom a letter to bring him trench coats for spring because he forgot to bring them. Truth be told, London doesn't get too hot unlike other countries.
"Well, every since i was about 7 or 8 my uncle gave me a potions book on my birthday" he smiled at that thought. At that age, Jonathan never really cared about reading such books. The cover itself looked boring and why would he give his own 8 year old nephew a potions book anyway. Weird. "At first, I thought it was a stupid book" yeah, he even said it after opening his uncles gift. "But he told me that Potions was a complex subject to be learned at Hogwarts. Plus he also told me that potions masters were scarier and head of the Slytherin House" he chuckled "eventually i read it and then i guess the rest is history" he sighed. Thank you uncle Timothy.
Jonathan then has always been fond of Lafay even with her 'intimidating side' so as Cass said. "Everyone in school thinks ALL Slytherins are intimidating" he laughed softly. Surely everyone knows that, even Slytherins themselves.
Another sigh.
What kind of guy is Jonathan? Besides from his OCD behavior what else is there for him? "For starters, I don't like saying 'i'm nice' just so i could impress someone i like" he smiled at that thought because probably that is something guys would always say to a girl they like. "Technically I can be but not to everyone perhaps" he chuckled this time. Jonathan is quite nicer to most Slytherins than to other houses. He doesn't mingle that much so he barely know students from other houses. "My parents raised me right so i guess I'm not really a bad person" the thing is when it comes to those types of questions, Jonathan can not fully answer it. Maybe his friends can but not him.

Carter chuckled. "Between you and me... I ran straight into a wall the other day. I was heading to a corridor covered by a tapestry and I turned way too soon. Right into a tapestry covering a wall." he said with a smile. The kid didn't need to feel bad. It happened to the best of them. Or maybe Carter was the one that should have been embarrassed.
"Oh, you wouldn't want that." Carter said immediately after the boy suggested he quit sugar altogether. "That would be a fate worse than death if you ask me." And even if he wasn't going to ask, Carter was going to say it anyway.
Looking at the kid Carter had the strange urge to ruffle his hair. Why? Mostly because that's what he thought you did to younger boys. You ruffled their hair, gave them girl advice, and went on with your day. He just hadn't known many first years to do that too.

"It is." Cass said happily, refraining from suggesting to Jonathan that they try it as well. It would just be weird to see guys sharing clothes and all that. She had to keep herself from shuddering at the thought.
Who would give an 8-year-old boy a potions book? Oh well, each to his own. "Wow, that's really awesome. I never really cared much for potions until I was 10, the way everything needs to be precise just appealed to me." She answered with a careless shrug and a smile "Before that - until now actually - I've always been the kind of girl who clung to books more." It was probably the reason why she absolutely adored History of Magic.
"Yes, it sucks, but that's what some of us live up to, while others try to break free from it." She answered softly, her eyes downcast when she remembered that time a girl - an incoming first year - found out she was from Slytherin, that girl said she was surprised to see a decent Slytherin, then walked off. It turned out, she got sorted into Gryffindor. Good for her. Then she grinned, trying to shake the sad topic off "But oh well, at least we can pull a few strings around school..with everyone afraid of us and all that." Yes, calling favors was way easier when you were a Slytherin.
"None of us are really all that nice." She answered jokingly. That role - being sickly nice - was reserved for Hufflepuffs. "But we are decent people."
Then she smiled at him. As in really smiled. The smile that she usually reserved for Fee, Freya or Heather. "You seem like a really nice person." She said sincerely "And I would really like to get to know you better."
