A smile danced across face at least this time when she made a fool of herself it was in from of one of friends. Thank Merlin. She laughed at Georgiana's comment. Okay then she so she yelled "Georgianaaaaaaaa! How are you?" She giggled.

Ariadne smiled at the older girl. 'I can understand your excitement, it's amazing, I would feel sorry if they took it away again. Why did they remove it in the first place?' Ari wondered.

'Nice to meet you, Caroline. I'm Ariadne, or Ari, for short. I'm a Gryffindor firstie.' she introduced herself. 'What year and House are you in?' the girl asked. 'Are there any other interesting places on the grounds I should know about? I love the outdoors.' Ariadne asked for Caroline's expertise.

Jamie Keaton was wandering around the grounds, wearing his regular clothes rather than his school robes. That bloody uniform was a death trap! For now, though, the short boy wore a patterned sweater vest and brown trousers, as well as his signature colourful sneakers. He was looking COOL, you could say.

Woah....... what was THAT?

"No. Way." He muttered out loud. A treehouse? A GIANT TREEHOUSE? That had to be the most amazing thing Jamie had ever seen. And he loved how Hogwarts had a fun element to it rather than just work, work and more work. None of the other schools would have a treehouse. Or even a tree.

Merrily, Jamie skipped closer to the tree and climbed to the very top. Once he got to the top, he stretched on his tip-toes to look over the edge to the ground. Amazing. He did have a little giggle fit, although he tried to hide it.

Ronnie was sitting at the top of the tree house when a boy who looked to be about her age came up. She smiled, she could tell he was knew to Hogwarts. The tree house always made new people giggle like small children. She stood up from where the was hiding and walk over to stand by him. "Don't lean over too far you'll fall right out of the tree." She laughed. She really hoped that she didn't startle him in anway.

"Arhg." Jamie exclaimed, turning quickly to see the culprit with careful eyes. Oh, it was only a person. He somewhat expected a talking gargoyle, or something. Although he wasn't sure why... Back to the point, the third year smiled at the girl who had approached him.

"Well, I ain't stupid." He said, not meaning to be rude, really. He was just under the impression that someone or something would rescue him if he had fallen out. Either with a super speedy broomstick, or a spell to turn the grass into pillows. "But thanks for the tip." He took a step back from the edge, subconsciously. "It's great up here, ain't it? Do you know if there is any other cool stuff at Hogwarts?" He would be visiting them ASAP, if there were!

She jumped herself when he went flying back. "Oops, I didn't mean to scare you, but don't worry, if you fall the grass turns into pillows. I won't hurt. In face I sometimes jump off for fun." She said grinning taking a step closer to the edge. Maybe she would do that today. She placed her hands and ledge to steady herself.

Turning back to the boy in questions she smiled. "Have you been to the Room of Requirement yet?" She asked with a smile. Probally not becuase most older students didn't even know about it yet. She stared at the boy for one last second. "I dare you to jump off!" She said wondering if he would trust her enough to know that their was a spell down help them out.

Pfffffffffft.

"You didn't scare me. I just didn't know anyone else was up here." Jamie coughed shortly. He wasn't no chicken! Did she just read his mind? "It seriously changes into pillows?" This was why he loved being a wizard. Everything even to the smallest of things blew his mind when he was in the wizarding world. "You jump off for fun?" He repeated, utterly bewildered. He was talking to a dare devil, ahhhhhhh. Hopefully she wouldn't peer pressure him into trying it.

"DON'T DO IT!" He piped up quickly, even tempted to grab the girl away from the edge.

The Room of Requirement? "No, what's that?" A room where you were REQUIRED to be? Oh no, he wasn't there! Should he go now? There it was! Peer pressure! Jamie sent the girl a face of terror, "you can't be serious?" He really didn't want to come across as a wimp.

Ronnie smiled at the boy. She had found his fear and they didn't even know each other names. She laughed a little. "It's fun I promise nothing will happen to you!" She said sitting her self on the ledge now.

"NO. the room of requirment only shows up when you want it to. and it always equiped for whatever you want it to be." She gave an evil grin. "If you jump off with me once, I'll take you there."

O_o

was Daichi's first reaction followed by a

"Wooooaaaaah!!"

The little first year literally ran towards a Giant Treehouse, his plushed duck in his hand. This was so cool! He remembered his tree house close to his home that he had build together with his muggle friend , Rylan and he thought his tree house was big but this!...woaah!

He climbed up and found himself staring at other students who had already discovered this gigantic treehouse. Mweh no fair, he wanted to be the first. Then another thought came to his mind as he looked around. There were so many people on here..wouldn't it...wouldn't break and fall down?! Daichi gulped and pressed Mr.Duckles tight against his chest. No , the thing wouldn't fall down he was being ridiculous...he hoped.

"You're crazy." Even though he was under the impression that he would be saved if he fell, he was still scared to jump! The adrenaline is something that Jamie did not like the feeling of. That's why he had never been on an aeroplane or a rollercoaster. Now the girl was sitting on the ledge! The boy held his head with horror. "Don't. Don't!"

"Really? So, like... it could turn into a candy land?" He pondered all of the possibilities. That would be fabulous. So fabulous, that he would refuse to leave. "You do realise that you are asking me to jump out of a tree with you." A giant tree, that is.

Mortified by the prospect of a girl looking more brave than him, Jamie sighed heavily. "Okay, fine. But if I die.... I will never forgive you." And he would HAUNT her, forever. He shakily stepped forwards and sat onto the ledge next to her. Jamie grabbed her arm for support. It was crazy because they didn't even know each other's names.

...There was a tree house.
A TREEHOUSE!

Emily ran towards it and began climbing up the ladder. An actual treehouse!
She'd never been in one, let alone one this good before. Her adptive parents had the perfect tree for a small treehouse in their garden. Mabye she could ask to build one when she was home?

Running along the wodden bridge she smiled as she passed a boy about her age. But he was looking worried. How could he? This treehouse was AWESOME!
"Hey." she smiled coming back along so she was facing the boy again. Was he holding a duck? "Um, are you alright? You look kindda worried." And she would be worried if that boy really was holding a duck.

Ronnie was about to get off the ledge, she was scaring him so much she didn't like it much. The boy wasn't very brave. But he was cute scared. She smiled at him. "It could turn into candy land if you wanted it to." She said and watched him.

He moved and sat on the ledge with her. He grabbed her arm for support and she smiled. Ronnie couldn't believe she had gotten a total strange to jump out of the tree with her. "I PROMISE you won't die. And you have my permission to haunt me if you do." Ronnie giggled at what she was about to do. The rush it gave her, she's probally have to do it six more times to control her self.

"I'm Ronnie by the way." She said grabbing his arm and throwing herself off the ledge toward the ground.

Okay, truth was the giant treehouse looked awesome from the bottom , but upstairs... He couldn't help but seeing images in his mind that showed how the treehouse was crashing down. He hadn't even seen that a girl had walked up to him. His eyes , only his eyes looked at the girl and he tried to smile but failed. "Uh..hi" he said before exploding. "NO! This is scary~! It will break if too many students are up here ..right?!"

Breathe Daichi Breathe.

He pressed Mr.Duckles tighter against him and walked slowly backwards before his back hit the side of the treehouse and he leaned against it. Much better, now he had something to hold on to. He looked back at the girl and saw she was around his age, perhaps a bit older and he blushed. Oh man he was making a fool out of himself in front of a girl!

Nooooooooooooooo way! A candy land on demand? Epic. "That is amazing. We are definitely going there." That's if he actually went through with the jumping off the tree shindig.

Okay. Now he was starting to believe her. Because really, why would she want to jump out of a giant tree if it was going to kill them? Unless she had a death wish. "Okay, right.. Okay. Let's jump out of the tree." WAS HE HAVING A NIGHTMARE? Thinking that the girl was beginning a new conversation by finally introducing herself, Jamie opened his mouth to reply but was startled when she grabbed him and jumped.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" His eyes were shut the whole way down, that was until he felt the warmth and comfort of pillows underneath him. Woah, that actually did feel quite good.

"Phew. I'm Jamie." He beamed.

Ronnie had her eyes open the whole way down. It was such a great feeling! She loved it. She loved that Magic could do this for them as well. And she ws doubley glad that the boy didn't grab the ledge at the last second and not jump.

"I TOLD you..you weren't going to die!" She said teasing him as she sat up from the jump. They had after all landed on what felt like pillows. "Nice to meet you Jamie. Do you want to jump again? Or go visit Candy Land?" She asked getting to her feet and offering a hand to help Jamie up as well.

Wow. She hadn't been expecting this.
"Um, I'm sure it won't..." But she wasn't denying it woudn't. She watched him slowly back against the tree house and felt slightly sorry for the boy. Mabye something had happened to make him worry like this? Or he was just very cautious. "I mean, I bet the groundskeeper or a teacher put a strengthening charm on it or something to withstand the weight of us all..." So just breathe kid, ok?

She looked across the bridge again. She really wanted to continue to run around and climb, but she could see this kid was scared and she should help.
"If you want we could get down. How about we go on one of those tire swings?" she smiled and brushed the hair out from her eyes. "I'm Emily by the way."

"I knew I wasn't going to die. I was just.. acting." He was a great actor, wasn't he!!!? hehehe. Somehow, Jamie couldn't see this tricking Ronnie. He was terrified and there was no denying it.

"Nice to meet chu too, I think." Jamie took her hand and pulled himself up. As for her question, it was a no brainer. "Let's go to Candy Land." He said quickly, then jumped off the pillows and back onto the grass. He looked around awkwardly. Ronnie would have to take the lead because he had no idea where to find this secret room.

"Acting...right....well you're very good at it." Ronnie finished teasing him. she knew it wasn't right to tease over something that was so scary to begin with. "It's on the Seventh floor!" Ronnie said grabbing his hand and pulling him toward the castle. "Follow me!"

'im sure it won't?' how can she be so sure?! But upon mentioning that perhaps the groundskeeper or a teacher had put a strenghening spell on it he blinked. He blinked a couple of times before bursting out in to a nervous laughter.

His laughter didn't stop and if anyone payed attention they'd notice it was not a real laughter. Daichi always laughed when he felt nervous. Yes, he was relieved to think that the tree house had a spell on it but still..what if..?

Finally stopping , Daichi looked up at the girl just in time she was brushing her hair out from her eyes. "I-i'm Daichi" he said with a slight stutter and cleared his throat. "I'm a first year and in sl...THERE IS A TIRE SWING?!"
where ? where? Daichi looked around trying to find the swings when he spotted them. Awesome~! His eyes twinkled and he nodded his head yes before carefully walking towards them. With his right hand tightly against the treehouse and his left tightly around Mr.Duckles.

Emily coudn't help smile slightly as he gave out some very nervous laughter. Bless. It was quite sweet really.
Daichi? Unusual name, but she like unusual names. Emily was just so boring. "Nice to..." she started, but was stopped as he seemed so excited about the tire swing. She giggled and followed him towards them. She loved swings!
"I'm a second year." she added as the walked "and in Gryffindor house." Like it mattered. She was just happy to have a go on the swings! She ran over and sat in one. Heehee, Hogwarts was great!
"So are you looking forward to your first year?" she smiled, slowly pushing herself on the swing by her foot.

This had so not been here last year, Dal would have remembered it. But this begged the question; why hadn't it been here last year?! This was probably one of the coolest things Dal had seen in all of the time he'd known he was a wizard, and he'd seen some pretty cool things.

He stood on the ground by one of the trees for a minute, staring upwards and bouncing lightly on the funny ground. Tire swings, rooms, bridges, all begging to be tried out. And even though there were already some students in the treehouse, Dal took it upon himself to explore the place and find all the best things. So he pulled himself up a rope ladder and into one of the rooms.

Georgiana already in the big treehouse that was in Hogwarts which was an amazing idea, started to explore the rooms. Everything looked great, what other things this house had she didn't know but she was going to figure that out. Walking around, there were couches....comfy couches and she didn't resist to try one. She let herself fall down on one of them and merlin! it was comfy.

Smiling to herself, she heard a noise someone was here also so she got up and went to see if the person was someone she knew. It was a guy, she narrowed her eyes, he seemed familiar...has she seen him before? ohh wait she has! she remembered. He was the guy she met at DA during the holidays, his name? umm she tried hard to remember was Da-something.
Anyway she went to say hi "Hey there!" she waved "This time your hair isn't messy" she teased smiling



Oh Merlin, Caroline why you have to scream! she shook her head with a smile, "I'm great! exploring the grounds" she said looking around the place and back to the treehouse in front of them "And this..." she pointed the house "Is new, right?" she asked "I didn't saw it last term". Georgiana put a hand on her hip "and how have you been? did you have a great summer?" she asked smiling, and added "And please, please! don't yell" she said laughing.

Dallin, who was just about to reply, chuckled at the hair comment. "That's because my sister isn't here to mess it up." As he said this, he tried to remember what the girl's name was. He remembered talking to her in Diagon Alley - she made fun of his hair - but he wasn't sure he remembered her name.

So he'd take a guess and hope for the best. "Georgia, right?" He grimaced slightly, having a feeling that he'd gotten it wrong. Oh well, who really expected people to remember the name of every single person they met?

Anyway. "So whatcha up to?" He looked around the room, indicating he meant 'whatcha up to in the treehouse.'

"I see" she said "Well I guess the only one that is going to do that job from now on is the wind" she smiled because right now a little breeze was coming in from outside. She would have messed up his hair but that would have been weird, right? they have only met once...not counting the time at Da.

She chuckled at his try to guess her name "Almost" he just missed the -na at the end "Georgiana" she nodded. The slytherin guessed it was time for her to try to guess his name "And yours..." she paused for a second to think "I don't remember, but it began with Da, right?" she commented "Dal?" sure it wasn't, but the only names that pop up in her mind was: Dallas, Daniel and Dale and she thought none of them was his name.

She began to walk while he asked his question "Ahh well, nothing much" she looked back at him "Come" she said. The girl took a seat on the comfy couch she has been a while ago "I like this place, great idea of Hogwarts" she looked around. "And you?"

Daichi walked together with Emily to the tire swings. He watched how the girl pushed herself off the ground and swung back and forth. The little Snake felt alot better now he was under the tree hou.....OH NO! what if the house REALLY fell down ? then THEY would be under IT!

Daichi breathe, remember your breathing. Nothing's going to happen , the tree house has been bewitched. "Right" he mumbled more to himself rather than someone else. He too pushed his legs through the tire and started to swing back and forth. And in no time he was smiling and forgetting about what had panicked him so much.

So Emily was a Gryffindor? Aw man he really hoped he could remember her name because somehow ..he forgot peoples names. "I'm a Slytherin" he said while pointing proudly at his badge. "I'm looking forward too it. I'm just a bit scared i'll be bad at some classes" Wasn't anyone scared of that? "Are you trying out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team?" Daichi asked all of the sudden.
