"Connor thinks I can't play because I'm a girl," Presley stated angrily. That was the most sexist thing ever. William said to tackle him, and before Presley could ask how, he'd couted to three. She ran at him, and tried to tackle him to the ground.

" I am doing fine, too" Willaim told Cleo. "So how do you like the treehouse?" William asked Cleo.

" I say just shimmy up the tree" Wiliam told the professor. " You could climb up, too" Willaim said to the professor. "I know there is a ladder down there somewhere, too" Willaim explained to the professor. " your choice on how to do it" William smiled.

" Do not take too long" Willaim teased Rose." WEll Cleo is giving me a bad time as usual" Wiliam laughed. " We were waiting for you" Willaim told Rose.

" I disagree with Connor' William told Presley." Very hard tackle, very good" William said to Presley. "Do not take it too hard on me, I am not Connor" William laughed. " Tackle me again" William smiled.

Placing her hands in her pockets, Mia kicked at small twig that was on the floor in front of her. She could tell that she had annoyed Evelyn and she didn't know what else to say to her friend that would make it better.

"No not yet." she replied with a small smile. "But I'm sure I'll end up on there sooner or later. Curiosity and all that." If there was one thing that Mia had a lot of and that was a sense of adventure. "What did you do over the summer Evelyn?" Surely her friend could answer that question.

Presley smiled. "Sorry. Thanks for not agreeing with him." She tackled William again, a little gentler this time as he'd said she'd hit him too hard. "Better?" she asked, jumping up and brushing the dirt off. Shoot. She gotten dirt stains on her brand-new pants. "Merlin's pants!" she exclaimed. "Do you know how to get this out, Will?" Presley gestured to the knees of her pants that were embedded with mud.

'What're you doing Cleo?' Rose asked menacingly, then laughed 'Well, the PARTAY has arrived!' Rose laughed 'Party in a box. except I'm the party and I'm not a box!' Rose grinned. Yep, her sense of humour wasn't great!

" No problem, I just speak my mind at times" William told Presley." I was teasing you" William said to Presley. "You can tackle me harder" William laughed."Well, I am not a girl but I have a lot of sisters, ao I think maybe a spell on your pants to clean them" William explained to Presley. " The muggle way scould be baking soda and water to clean the pants" William smiled.

" Yes, you are the whole PARTAY" William agreed with Rose." No, you are not in a box, but you are a present" William told Rose." I think you are really funny" William said to Rose.

Or...perhaps she hadn't. No matter. Evelyn wasn't all that interested in knowing what was on the ship. It was probably filthy, dusty, and a bunch of dangers hidden around ever nook and cranny. "Be safe if you do." she muttered, staring a few leaves on the floor.

Of course, Evelyn was considering opening up a little now during their talk thing, but did Mia have to ask THAT question? There were so many topics to talk about, and she had to ask about the one where she couldn't say anything about. Brilliant. "It was nice." she nodded, glancing over to her friend with a smile on her face. Hmm. "Met some...friends of family. Told stories. Found out some things. It was nice." Good enough?

Be safe?

Mia gave Evelyn a funny sort of look. That was a weird thing for the girl to say and she was quite surprised that the Slytherin could be so concerned. "Don't need to worry about me Evelyn. I lead a charmed life." Except for the fact that she was not talking to her father right now and that she had run away from home, her life would actually be perfect.

She looked at Evelyn as she spoke and while she had expected a little more detail, she didn't push it further. This was Evelyn after all. "Well it sounds nice. Nothing like spending time with friends." Mia knew that her friend was not going to say anymore on the matter of her summer so she decided to change the subject...again. "Have you decided what you want to after you graduate?'

Charmed life? Must have been nice.

Ignoring the look, she smiled and laughed quietly, nodding her head somewhat. Well, lets hope Mia kept that charmed life! No accidents or anything. Hmmm...the new topic that was brought up was something she could talk about actually. Thank Merlin. "Not really. I mean...I used to have it all planned out since I knew what I wanted to do but, the wandmaker dream kinda died a few years back and... I haven't really thought about it since then."

She had a year and a half left of school before she graduated. Goodness, she better start thinking about it. "What about you?"

Oh. How funny that Evelyn should mention wandmaking. Although she did frown a little when she said the dream had died. "May I ask why you don't want to go into wandmaking anymore?" It wasn't a job that she would have picked Evelyn to do.

Mia could actually see Evelyn working in the Department of Mysteries as an Unspeakable.

Bwhahaha.

Ahem.

"Well speaking of wandmaking. That's what I am going to do. With Nikolai. He's doing an internship now." By the time she had finished school, he will have done his internship and then he could teach her. Not that she was going to be doing the magic side of it. She was more a hands on person.

She didn't really know why that dream had died. Why did she not want to be a wandmaker anymore? "I don't know." she muttered with a shrug of her shoulders. "I guess I just lost interest? Being a wandmaker was a dream job from when I was little. Mostly from being rebellious against my parent's wishes..." No parents meant no need to rebel, and now, she had new interests.

Hmmm seriously? Mia was interested in wandmaking!? And so was Nikolai. "Dang, I should've stayed with becoming a wandmaker." That would have been fun. "So, are you interning after you graduate?"

Mia thought that when you lost interest in something it was because you had found an interest in something else but Evelyn had said that she didn't know what she wanted to do after she left school. The girl was such a mystery at times. "So you don't feel the need to rebel against your parents. They must be happy about that."

She chuckled a little. The thought of the three of them working together was laughable. But stranger things have happened. "Not exactly." she replied with a small smile. "Nik can do the magic side of things. I'll use my creative side to carve the wood."

For a moment, Evelyn thought Mia was joking. Was she joking? The Slytherin girl couldn't quite tell. "Yea, I'm sure they are." Least they don't have to worry about her being a disappointment anymore. Pfft.

Ohhh, she saw what was going on now. Smart move. "Don't want to set the wands on fire, do you?" she laughed. That...was supposed to be a joke. Hehe...erm...hmmm. "Are you two going thinking of opening up a business in the future?" Because that would be awesome.

Yep. Pres was dead. These were not cheap pants. William suggested a spell, and Presley decided she would look one up in the library later. "Thanks," she sighed. "I'll figure something out later. What's next?"

'Well, that's good, but where are the party lights?' Rose asked grinning

"They're all in your head dearie" Cleo giggled and the nargals are coming to get them... " you know i love you really babs!"!

Cleo saw a girl walking over and greeted her with a smile " Hi, i'm Cleo" well never mind then she turned away from the girl and back to her friends

Rose laughed 'Y'know I could really use knowing DADA don't ya think, Cleo?'

Daisy walked up the ladder carefully, trying not to slip on the snow in her wellies. Hogwarts was so pretty in the snow, but freezing cold and a huge danger hazard. Not that danger really bugged Daisy.... It was nice to have the feeling she could get away from homework and lessons for a while, she enjoyed them, but it was hard work too...

Daisy found a girl in her year, but in Ravenclaw, up the treehouse. She had seen the girl before and met her briefly, but didn't know her that well. That was weird, thought Daisy, putting her mittens back on. She was still discovering people in her year and places around Hogwarts.

Daisy cleared away some snow and sat down by the girl.
'Hi, you're Cleo, right?' she asked, hoping she had the right name. 'It's freezing, isn't it?' shivered Daisy, her breath rising up in swirls.

Rose was up there too. Daisy had not seen Rose for ages, with her being in Gryffindor and Daisy being a Hufflepuff. It was nice to be able to see her now to wish her a Happy Christmas if she didn't have another oppurtunity...

Carter motioned to the grounds surrounding them. "Oh. You know. Everywhere." he said. There were bits of scattered cake around. Which was a complete waste. He laughed as she spread cake on his cheek. "Thanks." he said rubbing it off.

"Yeah, it's pretty exciting." he said with a smile. "I'm anxious to see how they do in a match." Excited was an understatement. Gryffindor hadn't had a proper team in years. Everything was coming together well this term though.

Carter chuckled. "Thanks, they are rather great, aren't they?" he asked holding his other hand out in front of him.

"Most definitely Rose, or i could teach you babe!"

"yeah, hi you're Daisy right? and to answer your second question:- yeah but those guys used a heating spell, whereas i used my own common sense and just waited for my body to get used to it!" Cleo replied.

'I am Daisy,' said Daisy a little coldly. She didn't like being treated like an idiot... 'I don't mind being cold...' she added to Cleo, taking a qudditch magazine out of her bag and flicking through it. Daisy knew how to use a heating charm but wasn't bothered to. And she couldn't care less if Cleo was a polar bear and could use 'common sense' to adapt to it, not that she was going to say that....

"I'm glad though." Even though the blonde still hate the fact that now her house was behind the Lions by few points. She should getting her homework done so she'd earned her house some points. That's sounds a great idea.

When she's thinking about getting her homework done suddenly Ari had to excuse herself to do her own homework. "Oh that's okay. I've to do my own homework too." she said. "I hope we could see each other again before the term end." she smiled. "Good luck with your homework Ari." she said and waved her hand when Ari heading towards Merlin know where.

'Oh, hey Daisy!' Rose grinned 'It's cold, right?' Rose asked Daisy 'How ya been, I haven't seen you for ages!'

'Yeah, if you knew it!' Rose grinned 'You haven't been taught how remember!' Rose chuckled

"Yeah, if you knew it!' Rose grinned 'You haven't been taught how remember!' Rose chuckled[/QUOTE]

I think you'll find i do "yeah i suppose so, what haeve you been up to lately Daisy?" Cleo asked Daisy.
