DADA Homework, Janice thought. It's time to do it.
With a Pine Tree seedling in both hands, and a bag of her gardening things hung on her right shoulder, she tried to find an empty spot where she could plant them. After 10 minutes of searching, her hands became sore from the weight of the seedling, and decided to just plant it on any free space she found.
There. She spotted a free space near anoher pine tree, and headed toward the place. It was perfect, with the soft grass on them. She sighed, and put her things down.
After struggling with her gardening gloves and her small shovel, she started to dig a hole about 1 and a half feet deep. She releases the plastic covering of the seedling, and shook the excess soil out of it. Then, she put the seedling inside the hole, and piled the soil near the roots, and up to an inch below the first branch.
Dammit. I forgot to bring my watering can.
She then packed her things, and 'accidentally' found a half-full water bottle, and poured everything inside. As the soil shrinks, she left the place, and made a mental note to give it fertilizer once every two months and water once a week so that its roots will grow long , and to train it to be dependent to search for food by itself.

Fee just giggled a little at the movement Nika made when she heard about the time turner thing.Well it would be a bloody brilliant idea if the time turner didnt just let you go to the past but into the future too.How amazing would that be?But actually,did the blonde really want to know what was going to happen to her?Only the good things to be honest."We should totally get the time turners techonolgy to another level",she giggled,"we would become sooooo famous."Sometimes the Slytherin had some weird thoughts going through her head but to her it was a ll logical.Hehe.

As Nika seemed to be pretty surprised about the fact that Fee was taken she couldnt help but laugh."Well yes",she chuckled,"we are together for a year and a half now."It was pretty exciting to say that out loud,it sounded like such a long time and it made the third year really happy.Hugo definitely was the best thing in her life."What a pitty i didnt see you at the feast",the blonde smiled,"i am sure we would have had a lot of fun together."Something told Fee that the red head wouldnt be too interested in the feast anymore.Giggle.

Busted! She had, in fact, been daydreaming. A lot. Blushing furiously, she sat Mischa on the ground and hurried over towards the others. "Sorry, Mr. Stryker," she murmured, trying to hide her smile. "I'm all yours. Where can I help?" Painting maybe? Were they ready to paint?

" Hello Fee " Willaim called out to her. " I hope you are doing good" Willaim told Fee.

Inbetween working the various pieces, Simon glanced from the directions to his work to make sure he was doing everything according to plan. The seventh year wanting to do it right the first time for it certainly wouldn't do to help someone or a couple of someones and mess things up for the two staff members. Speaking of which, he couldn't help overhearing the conversation going on above his and his fellow Gryffindor's heads, the captain reminded of the banter in the library.

As Cove was working, all the plans had been engraved into her head, she couldn't help but over hear the adults conversation. She giggled slightly to what Madam Donovan had said. She smiled as she kept working. She thought of all of the surfboards her and her brother had worked on and thought about the tree ladder they had put up to watch the waves from the tree tops. She was mentally crying, but that didn't mean she wasn't smiling on the outside.

Nika bit her lip nervously as Selina started to think about it. The subject of her sister wasn't really an easy one to talk about after what happened during the summer holiday. It felt nice though getting things off her chest though. Then when Selina asked the question her eyes widened a bit. Selina did add that she didn't have to answer, but Nika felt like she sort of needed to answer in a sense. Afterall Selina was no stranger and her friend had already talked so much about herself so it was Nika's turn anyways.

"Erm, no really it's okay.." She was a bit hesitant, but she decided that she was going to talk about it. "It's hard for her... It's hard for both of us." She started off a bit uneasy. "Truthfully it feels like we are always competing now. I-I get alot of attention at home now and some times my parents don't pay attention to her when in come home. I don't try to make it lime that though." She felt like she needed to defend herself. "It's just well... Complicated. We used to do everything together, but now Hogwarts... We kinda can't." Her sister was jelous of Nika and her abilities with magic, but Nika didn't want to flat out say it.



Nika nodded her head excitedly. It would be fun to be famous! Now what was this about the timeturner technology thing? Yeah... If she and Fee were going to be famous because of a timeturner it might be helpful to know what they are... "Fee... What's a timeturner?" she probably sounded really stupid, but hey they dint teach you that sort of stuff when you are a muggleborn. It's just sort of something you have to learn as you go.

"Wow." A year and a half! That meant Fee was in her second year when she started to date the boy. That meant was Nika's age. That meant Nika needs to find someone too! "I wish I could find someone too..." she let out a small sigh and thought about it. Her last crush had left Hogwarts last term for some unknown reason so it was hard to have a new one because a part of her still liked Jacob too much. She was shaken out of the thoughts when Fee talked some more about the feast. "Yeah! We don't really see eachother around too much anymore." Right now back to more important matters. "So who is your boyfriend?" she wiggled her eyebrows with a slight chuckle.

It was a beautiful day, really and Heather found herself once more roaming the castle absent mindedly. She was so engrossed with her own thoughts that she failed to notice where she was going. It was only until she heard a 'meow' beside her that she was snapped back to her senses.

The gray beautiful feline approached her and called to her attention and Heather smiled. Seraphina followed her. It would seem that the cat had grown really attached to her as she had grown attached to it as well. "Hey there Seraphina." she bent down and opened her arms giving the cat the idea that she wanted to carry it. Seraphina allowed Heather to carry her and the girl did not hesitate to pet the cat tenderly in her arms. "Did you come to look after me? that's so nice of you Seraphina." she said and the cat nodded with acknowledgement. This made Heather chuckle. "Thanks then, for making sure i was all right. I was just having thoughts."

The cat narrowed its eyes on her. For all they know (and care) Heather was once again thinking about the one boy she likes but is no longer in Hogwarts-and isn't even sending her a letter, not one after the first one at the start of term. Seraphina went back to purring calmly in Heather's arms as the girl looked out the gate.

"I wish..." she sighed but kept her voice to minimal so only she could hear herself speak. "..that he'd appear in that gate, coming back here in Hogwarts."

Dani pushed back her curls as she carried on with her power walk- she unzipped her cute pink jacket and looked up- spotting Heather nearby she smiled. She headed over quickly in a little jog as she pulled back her curls into a cute pink ribbon.

"Hey!" she said softly as she reached her, smiling as she looked at the cat- "Oh, she's beautiful!" she said in the cutesy voice she reserved for babies and animals.

And someone else came by. Heather whirled around carefully so as to not shake the purring cat in her arms. It was Dani. "Hey big sis!" she called out, and Dani began to praise Seraphina. Judging by how Serpahina relaxed herself and moved her tail about in a gracious manner, Heather chuckled, very sure that the cat was not just flattered but proud and very glad to be called 'beautiful'. The cat looked at her and then at Dani.

it was as if at that moment, Heather and Seraphina had a connection; the sort of connection Heather also had with her doll, Mr. Panda.They understood each other even without words, even with just one look.

"She acknowledges the complement, big sis." Heather said with a smile. "I think Seraphina likes to be praised a lot."

Willaim looked at the "Front Gate" He stared at it really long. There is really something wrong with the "Front Gate" William notices the problem. There is an uneven surface on it. Willaim concentrated really hard, points his wand at the uneven part of the " Foont Gate" and says " Gliss-Say-oh" The uneven part of the "Front Gate" is now even and looks really good.

Helena decided to start practicing the Glisseo charm, since she didn't want more other assignments to pile up and then have too much work to do. And besides, when it came to Charms, the girl was more than happy to do... almost anything.

But where could she practice the charm?

How about... the front gate? Maybe she had luck and it was... rusty, or something. To her disappointment, the gate looked surprisingly good, even after she brushed her fingers against it. But she'll try anyway.

She pointed her wand at the gate, and said "Glisseo," then ran her fingers on it again. See? Nice and smooth. But just to be sure that she won't get in trouble or something, she added "Finite Incantatem."

Janice came back to see how her pine tree seedling went. It was well, even though it didn't seem to be getting taller. She get her wand out, and said "Aguamenti". Water sprouted out of the tip of her wand, and she left the place.

Fee turned around to see who was addressing her and smiled as she noticed William."Heey Willy",she grinned,"whats going on?"It was nice that the blonde got to see her friend so much,especially when he seemed to get better with the Hogwarts situation."I am doing fine",she nodded,"what about you?"



Fee stood there and smiled at Nika.She was sooo cute."Ohh you dont lnow that?",the girl asked a bit surprised,"as it says you can turn the time with it."Mhhh..Nika seemed to be a muggleborn if she didnt know what a timeturner was.Not that the Slytherin cared about her friends' blood-status,she found it more than cool that muggle borns discovered the same skills as purebloods or halfbloods did.That made them even more talented then all the other witches and wizards."You can go back in to the past with it and change it",the girl smiled,"it can be very helpful and its named in Hogwarts:A history quite a lot."

The Slyther giggled a little as she heard the red head's reaction.Thinking about it,it really seemed to be a long time but it didnt feel like it.Whenever the girl was with her boyfriend time flew by.Just like that one day,they spend the whole night at the observatory and the entrance hall."You know you cant control who you are falling for and when it'll happen",the third year smiled,"when your time comes you will see."There was no pressure and Nika shouldnt put pressure on her.There was someone for everyone out there.Oh yeah its true that school was taking up much more time then before and the two didnt meet up as much anymore."We should totally change that",Fee nodded.Hopefully Hogsmeade would open up again soon,so the two girls could go there for a little trip.Hehe. N'awww,Nika seemed to be really interested in Fee's lovelife.How cuute."Well his name is Hugo,he is a ravenclaw,third year,14 years old and obviously the most handsome guy on earth,",the blonde chuckled a little.To her he was.Noone in the wold could really compare to Hugo,he had done sooo much for her already.

" Hi Fee" Willaim smiled. I am glad you are doing great" Willaim told Fee. "Did I tell you that Katelynn had to leave HogWarts?" Willaimasked Fee, " If I told you already, I am sorry" William said to Fee. " I am doing good, too" William smiled. " I have feelings for two gilrs who are my best friends in Gryffindor, but I do not want to lose their friendship if I go oout with one or borh of them, ewhat do I do?" Willaim asked Fee. "Actually, one is Witsy, who used to be my girlfriend, but situations called for us to break up and the other is Sarah,eho hrlped me a loy during my bad times with Rose, but I had feelings for her after Rose and I broke up" Willaim explained to Fee, 'Any suggestions?" William asked Fee."

Rose ran over and sat down. She felt her hair growing, and spouted down to her normal size. She took a mirror out of her robes, and looked in it. Her face was back to normal 'Oh, yay! I'm back to me!' Rose grinned. Now she had to find Jordan, just to confuse people as there would be two Rose's.

WHOAH Rose was hard to catch up with! "hey Rose, what have you done now to make yourself run all the way to the front gate!"

'Oh, hey, Cleo! I just had the Polyjuice Potion, and now I'm back to me again!' Rose grinned

Theo had walked around everywhere, hoping to run into someone. But so far, no one, NO ONE, had approached who they thought to be Braeden Stonem. So, boredom had taken him all the way to the front gate. He peered out at the path in front of the castle and down the one that led to Hogsmeade, sighing a most un-Braeden-like sigh. Not many people were around. How in Merlin's saggy pants was he supposed to be able to do this final without people interacting with him?

Think, Dumble, think! He berated himself, I mean, Stonem! Braeden was a social type of guy, so maybe people expected him to just walk up to them? Maybe. Think Brae, think DORKY.

Spotting a young girl a few feet away, Theo winked and took a few steps forward... before tripping over his own two feet. Damn that lion's clumsiness! Flapping his arms at his sides like a baby bird that couldn't fly, he got his balance and stood up, swiping a hand through his hair and pretending that nothing had happened. That was the Stonem-like thing to do, right?

Being Emma was so FUN! Alfie was having the best time just wandering around the grounds, not really worrying about much of anything. She was careful not to embarrass Emma though, she wasn't going out of her way to do silly things like the boys, but she was having a good time not being herself for a little while. Some way or another, the now honey-coloured blonde had made her way to the front gate, amusement on her features as she glanced down continuously at these hands she wasn't used to. Every once in a while a strand of blonde hair would come into her vision and she would nearly jump in surprise she was still Alfie at the strange colour and length of it.

Before she got too far, however, her gaze settled upon... Was...was that....Braeden? Her eyes widened at the sight of him. Uh oh! What was she supposed to do?! She was standing just a few yards from the boy, so she was positive he'd seen her. She couldn't just run away! Before she could think about this too much, she was distracted at the sight of the lion... winking? Her eyebrows rose. What was he doing winking at other girls? Alfie was just getting worked up on behalf of her friend Emma when she saw Braeden take a fall and other thoughts vanished.

"Braeden!" she called as she approached the boy cautiously, eyes as wide as saucers but a different colour for once. The tone was quiet and soft, similar to that of Alfie, but the voice was completely Emma.

Theodore jumped a foot in the air, feeling particularly like a rabbit, like Brae, as someone shocked the living daylights out of him. Could it be? Oh no! Of all the people to run into, and Theodore had to run into Braeden's girlfriend. His girlfriend, technically. He could have crawled behind the nearest shrub and hid, but that would have been more like Theodore, not the little lion man. "Emma! Emm!"

He smiled a crooked smile, a lopsided grin that the Gryff wore more often than not. Act cool, you can do this! He told himself. Dusting himself off, he gave Emma a prompt squeeze, surprised at his own strength as he momentarily lifted her off of the ground with his hug before setting her down again. "What brings you... well, here? Love?" He turned to glance at the front gate, taking a hand to scratch behind his ear. Playing the part of the enamored lover boy was going to be tough, but he would have to push through it.

Ronnie walked up to the Front Gate and saw William by himself, looking at it. She smiled and walked up to him and watched as he pointed is wand at it and say a spell. It then changed and looked more even then before. "Good job!" she said, patting his back and giggling. "I haven't really been here much...it seems pretty cool to me so far!" she said smiling and looking around.

Alfie Emma gave a jump as Braeden gave a jump, still the easily surprised Alfie on the inside. And Alfie was very jumpy. After she had given the involuntary jump, her eyes widened, quickly realizing that this wasn't something Emma Malfoy would do. Emma was very forward and secure in her movements! She didn't hesitate! And so Alfie did her best Emma impression, standing with her feet firmly on the ground, struggling for a moment with furrowed brows as she tried to figure out what to do with her arms. First they were at her sides, and then one had was up at her chin in interest, before she finally decided to simply cross her arms determinedly.

Just as she had gotten the Emma-stance down perfectly, she was being lifted off her feet! Alfie Emma repressed a squeak as she was lifted by the boy who was...technically her boyfriend, and gave a weak hug in response. "H-Hey Braeden," she found her voice with a clear of her throat, getting used to this new voice as she found her feet (or Emma's) on the ground once more. Thank Merlin! "I mean...Brae," she quickly corrected herself, knowing that Emma called her boyfriend by that nickname. Oh this was soooo weird! "Uh..." she muttered as Braeden asked what brought her here. "Just...you know, wandering around." Yeah, that would work. "You?" This wasn't so bad, she could do this!

It was then that Alfie Emma gave a very Alfie-like soft smile, one that stretched across her expression in the most carefree of ways. But a hand quickly flew up to cover this, realizing that it wasn't something Emma would do. She quickly replaced it with a more Malfoy-like smirk, trying her best to duplicate it perfectly. Without realizing it, a nervous habit of Alfie's crept up on her; fidgeting. Emma's right hand was currently fidgeting with the chain of a locket, hanging just around her Slytherin-coloured tie.

Theodore... I mean, Braeden, clasped his hands behind his back before realizing he was doing this polyjuice business all wrong. Braeden wasn't socially awkward! He was one of the most personable people in the school. Theo had to force himself to nonchalantly leave his hands at his side, assuming a stance that oozed cool but probably made him look like a weirdo. "Just w-wandering around. You know me!" Theo awkwardly winked once more, making sure that he was still grinning. Ouch; the forced wink was slightly painful. He had done it too hard. Blinking back the tears accumulating in his left eye, he didn't notice the locket that Emma was fingering around his Slytherin tie. If he had, Theo might have gone nuts and broken his cover.

"Erm... do you wanna walk up to the castle?" He asked, not sure of what to do. "I haven't eaten in about an... an hour, so, you know..." Taking a hand, he rubbed his flat stomach through his flannel t-shirt, thinking that he finally got the hang of it. Brae adored food, so this was working well, right? Right?! Theo/Brae had been about to turn around and make his way up to the castle when he realized... didn't they hold hands? Emma and Brae held hands, and often, didn't they? Not wanting to seem pushy and un-Stonem-like, Theo held out his hand in Emma's direction, a soft look in his eyes.

It was so hard for him not to mix Dumble with Stonem!

Alfie hadn't been around Braeden all that much, but his mannerisms were pretty easy to identify; easy going, goofy at times. Maybe it was just her paranoia of being caught, but it felt like something was different about the boy. Concerned far too much with her own cover, she didn't spend too much time thinking about this, trying once more to perfect the Emma-stance after realizing she had been fidgeting. She dropped the locket gently to her chest and returned her arms into a crossed position, standing her ground though her blonde eyebrows were furrowed, glancing down at Emma's feet as though trying to figure out if she was making this look right.

At the wink, Alfie Emma reciprocated with a smirk, though it was a little off. Alfie wasn't the best as smirking, she didn't do it very often, but she managed. As Braeden suggested they go up to the castle for some food, Alfie Emma immediately gave a nod, glad to be going somewhere in comparison to just standing there awkwardly. Turning to go, she stopped in her tracks as she caught sight of a hand being held out to her. Braeden's hand. Her eyes flickered from the outstretched hand, up to the boy's expression, before returning back to the hand. Uh oh. They were a couple, they were supposed to hold hands. She'd nearly forgotten! Okay, alright, she could do this! But if Braeden even tried a kiss, she was out of there! There was no way that Alfie could handle pretending to be Emma to that extent! Standing like Emma was one thing, but kissing her boyfriend was entirely different. She repressed a shudder at the thought. No offense to Brae.

Flashing the boy a weak smile, she took his hand unceremoniously, avoiding eye contact as she attempted to grow accustomed to Braeden's hands. They felt weird, different, and she didn't really like it in the slightest. It was so weird to be holding hands with Braeden! But what was she supposed to do? Fake a hand injury?!
