Marilyn heard someone come up behind her and spun quickly, her green eyes as round as saucers. She really did HATE fire.

When she seen it was Carter, she relaxed and took his hand without question. She didn't want to be near anything burning. With how her luck was going lately, the blonde would somehow get caught in the flames...

"Please..." She heard herself pleading with him, but the Slytherin cared not.

Nika grinned wider, if that's even possible, when the girl took up her offer for the swing. Who doesn't like swings!? They are so... so... so swingy? Yeah. Swingy. Swingy swings, that makes sense... right? Well either way they were Nika's absolute favorite part about the treehouse. That and maybe the slides? No, no definitely the swings. Swings beat all! Hehe. She began to swing once more as the girl sat down. She wanted to open her mouth to sing again, but then she remembered that she was with someone else and that would be rude. No singing yet at least...

D'aaaawww it's an ickle firstie *pets*. Nika could tell though, not because Sarah was clueless like Nika was in her first year, but because the girl hadn't been around last term. It was either she was a firstie or an exchange student from one of those weird sounding schools. "It's nice to meet ya..." What was her name again...? She had just said it too. Tara... Lara... "Sarah." Aha! That's it, hopefully.

"I remember way back when, when I was a firstie." Sigh "It feels as though it were yesterday." Sigh. "It was last term." Hehe. Giggle. "Yeah, but a lot of people made fun of me for being a first year, but actually it was the best ever!" It's not like people didn't still ask her if she was a firstie though. She got that a lot. Even though she'd be fuming she would just sweetly reply with a "No way! I'm a second year!" "Besides the cool thing about being a first year is that you get to call yourself a 'firstie'! I can't do that anymore cause 'secondie' doesn't sound very good." Giggle. Yeah okay she was odd.... "So, have you made a lot of friends yet?" Eh she wanted to steer the conversation forward so why not ask about her firstie experience so far... It's a start.

Ronnie lifted her head slowly and waved a hand to show where she was then let her head fall right back on the ground. "Ouch." she said.

Wow, Marie could tell that this was one birthday gift Matty really liked. He didn't even have to say anything to her for her to know. That kiss said it all. "Yes, just the two of us. No one around telling us what to do or when to do it." It was going to be the best vacation ever.

Hugging him tight she kissed him again. "I love you too. I'm glad you like the gift. You will be able to go right?" It was going to totally suck if he told her he had to be gone for training all summer or if he got hurt again and his uncle wouldn't let him go. She should have probably thought about that before she went and made plans like this.

"I will make sure I can. I'll ask my uncle, not my aunt. He'll be fine with it." *Hugging her tight he picked her up with a laugh. Looking over at the bags he raised an eyebrow and smirked.*
"You didn't pack my things already did you?"
*Matty wouldn't put it past her, when she had her mind on something nothing in the world could get Marie Salazar off of it. But that was just another reason why he loved her.*

"Good. I have a feeling if it was up to your aunt you wouldn't get to go." Laughing as he picked her up she held on tight around his neck. "No, I didn't pack for you... yet." It seems there was this silly rule about girls not going into the boys dorms, not to mention they were in different houses. Although she wouldn't let that stop her if she really wanted to get in there. "You don't have anything planned for the rest of the day do you?" If he did he was going to have to change those plans because he was hers for the rest of the day. She wasn't letting him out of her sight now.

"I'm shocked, I figured you would have packed everything up by now." *Setting her down he kissed her again and rested his forehead on her's.*
"Thank you for my gift... nope, I have some homework but I can get to it later. Why? Did you have something in mind?"
*Maybe a nice walk or something, he knew she would not go swimming with him. It was still to cold for her, or so she said.*

"Oh don't you worry. I have three months to get everything packed." That should be plenty of time for her to get everything done. "You're welcome. I wanted to make it something really special because I know how you really don't like to celebrate your birthday." She had thought about throwing another party for him but decided she didn't want to share him today.

"Well your homework is just going to have to wait until tomorrow. I am holding you hostage for the rest of the day." Not that she would have to hold too tight. She had a feeling he would choose her over homework any day. "I thought we could start with a picnic lunch at the lake, then go for a walk around the grounds..." And end in the room of requirement where they could have a nice quiet dinner and she could give him his final present.

"I guess I can put my homework off a little... I was really looking forward to it... That all sounds perfect, lead the way."
*She knew him to well. He didn't need some flash party or to hang out with a bunch of people. All though he didn't mind that, she gave him a great party last year. But Matty had always been more quite and would rather spend time with just her.*

Chad was sure that everyone was out, so he started to get to work putting the fire out. With a strong, steady stream of water coming from his wand directly at it, it slowly went down. He couldn't help but feel bummed, though. All the hard work he'd put into this...destroyed.

"Well, if you would rather study than spend time with me..." Yeah right, like she would let that happen now. Taking out her wand she shrunk down the luggage so it would fit in his pockets. "Now you don't have to go back to your dorm room right now." She said as she handed the tiny bags over to him. "They will go back to normal size when you open them."

Grabbing his hand she lead him out of the tree house. "To the lake we go." She already had a picnic lunch waiting for them.

'Um, hey, Ronnie? D'you think I could help you up? I think the Professors want us to go... We can go to where we were talking about at breakfast? You'll find some help there...' Rose told her friend as she helped her up, and they hobbled off

"Sure you can help me..." she said. "And yes, let's go." Ronnie said.

Looking up, Mia saw some black smoke coming out of the tree house!! She quickly grabbed Gwen's arm and dragged her to the nearest exit. Coughing and spluttering, Mia fell onto the grass. The World spun around in her head as she tried to stand up, but with no success.

'Alright!' Rose said as she helped Ronnie up and helped her to the school.

Sarah liked her a lot. Really, a lot. She smiled along with her. "Oh yes, the firstie thing" she laughed. "No no, I've not been teased, not yet..." she paused. Yes. Not yet. She watched as Nika talked about her firstie year at Hogwarts. Aww, friends. "Well not a lot, but some... a few people..." she paused for a while. Friends at Hogwarts was not a turn on for her.

That's it. The fire was out. Chad stood for a few minutes, looking around and becoming more and more disheartened by the second. How could this have happened? Was it deliberate? Accidental? Occurred out of plain stupidity? Sigh. Chad guessed that he would never know, but that he did know that the tree house could not be repaired in time for the end of term.

With a shrug, he exited the house and climbed down the rope ladder. Oh no, there was a student on the ground! Where was that professor? Was she daydreaming now? Grr.

Chad approached the female and knelt down. Hmm, it didn't look like anything was broken. "Are you okay, Mademoiselle? Do you want me to take you to the hospital wing?"

Chloe headed to a place where she could have a good time after a hard day of classes. Of couse the giant tree house isthe supreme of awesome, but now that she was here was hoping to find a freind to go exploring with.

Fee made her way to the treehouse.She hadnt been here in a looong time and it was really nice to be here again.The treehouse was such an relaxing place and relaxing was definitely what the girl needed right now.She had studied sooo much these past few weeks that her brain might explode anytime.Oh well now was to think about happiness and fun.With her ipod in her back and a good book from the library the Slytherin climbed up to the top of her favourite tree.Besides the lake this was really the best place to chill.

Arriving at the top she was greeting by another person sitting there.Oh who ahd discovered her place?!getting a closer look a wide smile spread on the third years face.Oh my glitter."Heeeyyy Sopphiaaaa",Fee said beaming and tipped her friend on the shoulder.Oh ym god they hadnt met in such a looong time.

Rose, polyjuiced as Jordan, ran in to fetch her wand. 'Whoops!' Rose said sheepishly as she ran off

He picked the young girl up and then waved his wand. A sign appeared:

Tree house closed due to fire damage. Do not enter for your safety.

With that, he turned and walked back up towards the castle.
