The Giant Treehouse
 

http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m.../treehouse.png

Multiple GIANT oak trees + multiple GIANT treehouses with many little room and corridors connecting them together, as well as providing easy access to higher areas of the trees. There are also tire swings and climbing ropes and wooden ladders.

Fear of falling? Don't worry about it! The base around the tree has been charmed to act like a cushion, in case you misstep. You'll feel like you've fallen into a pile of the plushiest stuffed animals you've seen.

Previous groundskeeper, Constantine Masterson, donated the blueprints for the treehouse to Mr. Stryker as a present to the students. See, he did care.

Have fun!

Izzie was so excited. She loved climbing trees with her father, but her Grandpere never let her climb when he was home. Now she got an entire tree house to play in. This was a dream come true. She took off her shoes and her robes. Standing in bare feet, jeans, and a tank top, she knew she was out of uniform, but she didn't care. You could climb trees in a dress, but it was never a nice view to see anyone else do it, so why should she? Taking a deep breath she began to climb up. She ignored the ropes and ladders, she could use them if she was ever in a hurry to get up, but for now, she was climbing for fun.

Anyone?

Caroline stared at the familiar structure up at the top of one of the trees on the gounds. She rubbed her eyes to make should that she wasn't seeing things or dreaming. She squealed again. It was back. "It's back! The treehouse is back!" she yelled. People would probably look at her like she was crazy or something. The treehouse wass like her favorite place anywhere. The lost of the treehouse was hard on her.

Ariadne was exploring the grounds for the very first time when she heard someone yelling very close to where she was. Curious, she went to find the respective person, and noticed an older girl who looked pretty excited.

'What's back?' Ariadne asked her, looking up, imitating the girl. Then she saw it, a magnificent tree house. 'Looks amazing.' she expressed her opinion.

Bwahahaaa! Kana ran up to the HUGEGIMONGUS treehouse smiling with enthusiasm. She paused only briefly, then ATTACKED the tree, climbing swiftly up it in a manner similar to that of...some...sort of... tree-dwelling animal! She kept climbing, too, up the rope ladders, and up the branches.

She wore today a striped shirt in Ravenclaw colors under a black hoodie--hood up, hiding her fiery, bright red hair. She wore also a pair of dark faded skinny jeans and a pair of dark grey tennis shoes, which came untied while she was climbing.

She climbed to the very top. As HIGH as she could go. She rested at the top, proud of her work, and smiled down at the ground. Teehee. Panting slightly, Kannalynne climbed around to the other side of the treetops, looking at the view and finding a good spot to claim as her own. At last she found it--a nice bend in one wide branch where she could sit without the immediate fear of falling off. She pulled her earbuds out of her front pocket and turned on her MP3 player after a moment of thought. Most wizards acted strange at the sight of her muggle device, which usually wouldn't work around majic, but her father and her uncle had charmed it enough to work.

Looking around as she bobbed her head to the music, she wondered if her bird would be out, but then remembered that the pigeon thought he was an owl, and probably wouldn't be up at this time. But, mayyybeeee...

Kana gave a peculiar whistle, taking out one earbud. Then she gave it again after a moment, louder. Then a soft coo in the distance answered her. Peering through the leaves, she could see a grey pigeon fluttering about, and stretched out her hands, cupped slightly, for Pigeon.

Ugh. Those stupid, cocky birds. Pigeon had been perched in a tree away from the owlrey when he had heard the call of his owner. Following the sound, he was surprised to see her up -- way up -- in the tree. But, it was her. Pigeon fluttered through the blanches and landed in her hands, ruffling his feathers for a moment.

"Coo."

Orabelle took a seat on one of the swings, swing casually back and forth, trying her best not to think about how annoying it was to be here. She sighed, thinking about why it might be good here and came up with nothing. Then she tried to think of all the bad things, and a million came to mind. Merlin this school stunk. Orabelle wished more than anything to be back in Beauxbatons for her fourth term... and her fifth... and sixth... and seventh. But it wasn't happening. She was stuck here. And it stunk majorly.

Orabelle continued to swing back and forth, thinking and feeling miserable.

Wow...

It was so totally awesome...

She had to go play on it. Definitely.

K-Lee climbed up one of the climbing ropes expertly. She walked through the treehouses happily, taking in the view.

She found herself an empty tire swing and immediately started to swing on it. Oh man this place was epic!

Caroline turned around and seen a young girl standing there. Yep she had just made a fool of herself acting like a crazy person over the return of the treehouse. "The treehouse. It was here a few terms ago. I loved it. It's so much fun." She smiled. "It is amazing. I'm Caroline Scott."

Seeing the scowel on the girls face .Mikey walks over offering her some gummy bears. Out of the bag of muggle sweets he was holding" You know you will get wrinkles by the time your 16 if you keep that up.I have a cure for that though.Bite the heads off of 5 of these 3 times a day for a week." biteing the head off of one and then flicking the body away "Flicking the bodies at Gryffindors will some time help the effect"
Giving a small nod to the outher girl that was swinging " Hey you K~lee right"offering her some of the sweets

. . . Orabelle was still swinging back and forth before some guy walked over. She looked around to make sure he was actually talking to her and... just to make sure, in case he was a loser, he didn't travel in a pack. She skidded to a stop and looked at the bag of gummy bears he had held up.

Wrinkles... at sixteen? "What? So I can be the size of a whale?" Orabelle asked as she quirked a brow. Muggle sweets... as delicious and as tempting as they were, she didn't know if he had like... put some weird potion in it or something. Plus, they were loaded with sugar.

"Oh hi! Yeah, I'm K-Lee," K-Lee said smiling at him. He sure was nice! "Oh, thanks," She said grinning as she took a few of the sweets. "How are you?" She asked, already nibbling on one.

Anyone, Anyone at all?
 

Nika skipped around singing Zippity Doo Dah with a cheery smile on her face. She heard some rumors of a new addition to the grounds and couldn't wait to see if it was true. As she approached this BIG whatever it is her eyes started to double in size. Her singing came to an abrupt stop as she smile grew even bigger. "Wow!" This is so cool! A treehouse!?! A GIANT treehouse!?!

Georgiana went out for a walk and what better place than...outside! mhm, pretty obvious. She walked aimlessly around the Hogwarts grounds, just thinking, she has missed this place very much during the holidays but...she was finally back!

Something caught her attention...

A.TREE.HOUSE?

Her eyes widened, was this real? she didn't saw this treehouse last term. This was great! a lovely treehouse in Hogwarts. Grinning, she skipped to the treehouse, not taking her eyes away from it, but something...something LOUD caught her attention again. Frowning slightly, she glanced around to see from where the source of the noise came from. It was early in the morning and people were yelling already? Geez...

The slytherin finally spotted who yelled, a smile appeared upon her face, she knew this noisy person. The frown on her face dissappeared as she walked toward her...."Pleaaaaase, keep screaming I think nobody heard you" she teased.

Shrugging his shoulders " Still trying to get back in to the grind "biteing the head off a red gummi bear and flicking the body over the rail" I am Mikey by the way I think you know my friend Britt"
Noding toward K~lee enjoying her sweets" See just plain ol candy.. and I bet you didnt know there are no calories in the head.See just like girls they all settle in the hips and feet" taking a couple more and offering her the bag again " But I bet your mom and dad had that lil talk bout candy and strangers" offering his hand to her " Michael White but every one calls me Mikey

Orabelle forced a smile on her face. "How... lovely, but I'll have you know, I don't let those calories settle anywhere," she said. Hmph. She didn't want to look like a pig. And Orabelle looked flawless for a reason and it wasn't from sitting on her bum the whole day. Who did he think he was? Acting like her superior? Ugh. "No, they didn't, it's common sense," Orabelle retorted.

She looked at his hand then stuck her own out as well, grasping his hand and shaking it quickly. "Orabelle Bellamonte," she said simply.

Nika ran towards a familiar face. "GEORGIANA!" She squealed up and down as she pointed towards the tree house. "Do you see that treehouse!?! Oh my goodness! It looks so awesome!" She was very excited!
Nika noticed the kid that she had met in Diagon Alley. "Hi Mikey! Do you remember me?" She hadn't really seen the kid before they met in the shop. But it's probably because now she was able to distinguish him from other students because she knows who he is.

Seeing the forced smile and returning a grin back at her." Nice name.French? "looking the girl over " and Orabella there aint nothing Common bout you..." rubbing his chin "cept maybe the crease in your make up running across your forhead,See scowling and make up dont mix" offering her the bag of sweets again,and givingher an honest smile "Relax.. Si vous voulez que j'aille vous dire"
"Nikia ?offering her some of the sweets in the bag " It is either that or Bertha nodding his head yea had to be one of the two "Oh if you get one of the Gummie bears be careful I was told just one will make you balloon up like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon

"Nice to meet you Mikey, I'm not sure if I know a Britt, I know lot's of people but with my memory I forgot names like that." She snapped her fingers, smiling. She really didn't have the best memory.

"You're a third year too, aren't you?" K-Lee asked. Again, her bad memories fault.

"Orabelle," she corrected automatically when he said Orabella. People tended to do that here, she supposed there weren't many Frenchies here like back in Beauxbatons. "And yes, it's French," Orabelle confirmed with a nod of her head.

What?

Did he...? Did he just say her make up was ruined? Was he lying?

"Monsieur White, I don't apply make up on my forehead, only my eyes and lips," Orabelle corrected. So that wasn't possible. And she had nawt been scowling! Definitely not. She was, however, surprised when he said that he would leave if she asked in French. "No, you can... stay," Orabelle said a bit hesitantly before looking at the bag full of the gummies. Hesitantly and slowly she pinched a green one out and popped it into her mouth.

Oh look. She wasn't dead. Guess they were safe...

Nika laughed at his attempt at her name. "Close! But I'm not talking about your Bertha guess..." She smiled. Bertha... really Bertha? "Nika! Nika it rhymes with peeka boo! Well the first part of peeka boo anyway." Peeka boo as in the game she used to play with her mum as a child. Why did she even bring that up?!?!

"Oh gummy bears! I love gummy bears!" Nika took a small handful and started popping them into her mouth one by one. "I don't think that's true! I've eaten plenty of gummy bears before and I don't think I look like a balloon..." The small second year replied looking at her stomach. Nope. Definitely not a balloon.

noddng ,then gulping down his candy " yea third Yr hopeing for fourth in your head of house dont kill me ,,,,have you met the new CoMC prof yet " pulling out a gummi worm and chomping it in 1/2 " yall should stop by the kitchen later loads of new people going to be there "


seeing her put the candy in her mouth he jumps back "NOOOO..... just the head ,,,every one back she is going to blow Giving her a big grin and shaking his head " and dont look so suprised bout the french.I had to take a lanuage in school it was that or spanish.and with a bunch of spanish speeking kids in the school I would have been on the low end of the grading curve" giving her a small wink " you ever get homesick come find me i got somthing that will help "shaking the bag of sweets for her to take some more
Hearing the girl squeel overthe candy.Mikey looks at her " Naaa I am going to pronounce it BER,,THA" offering her some more candy "BerrrThAA have you met, Orabella ...she is new and K~lee ,she is not so new

"No I haven't met Orabella... or K-Lee." Nika shook her head. "But Why call me BerrrTHA? It's not even close to Nika!" She couldn't stop laughing.

. . . .

What...?

"Are you calling me fat?" Orabelle asked, narrowing her steel grey eyes at the boy. He was soooo weird. Like, seriously? It was just a gummy bear and now he was acting like that one bear was going to make her fat. Ugh. People were so insane here.

"Lovely," she responded to the grading curves comment. She had never been at the bottom and she never intended to be there either so it all worked out for her. "I think I'll have to pass on that," Orabelle said in a bit of a monotone-bored voice.

Arabella-Marie skipped down to the treehouse this place was amazing and she was glad it was back and she looked about and started to climb the ladder she was going to have some fun playing in the treehouse
