A place to relax or, perhaps, practice some dance moves?

Being a new student just last year, it wouldn't have surprised her to find that this had been here all along and she had yet to stumble upon the glorious gazebo throughout last year. But something about the other students' faces (those who were currently sitting beneath the large gazebo), each of which seemed awed by the structure in the same way she herself was, told the girl that this was a new attraction placed on the Hogwarts grounds over the summer.

Now if only she could find a place to sit... Most of the seats were already taken, except for one next to a girl she seemed to recognize for some of her classes from last year. Walking over to her, Alfie's large blue eyes settled on her expression in a curious sort of stare that was all too like the 5th Year. Alfie had a bit of a staring problem. It wasn't a creepy sort of staring, rather, she stared when she was very curious about someone. And this girl seemed very familiar. One look at her robes confirmed that she was indeed from the same house, so the odds of seeing her last year were even more likely. "Do you mind if I sit here?" Alfie's soft voice fell through the air as she stood beside the seat in question. She flashed her a warm smile, though her expression also seemed to have an understanding in it that clearly expressed that the girl didn't need to allow her access to the seat she was referring to. Alfie understood that she perhaps wanted to be alone, and her large blue eyes reflected the understanding that this unknown girl didn't need to give up the seat at her side.

Vashti was staring at one of the little potted trees without really seeing it when she suddenly got that weird feeling you get when you're being watched. Breaking out of her trance, she turned and saw a girl about her age standing there, staring at her. Vashti was about to ask her whether there was a reason for her staring - perhaps she had somthing on her face - but just then the girl was asking whether she could sit by her. The sixth year considered for a moment. The girl looked very familiar - not only because she was clearly a Ravenclaw by the look of her robes but also because of her very noticeable eyes - and yet for whatever reason Vashti didn't actually know her name. She wasn't sure she'd even spoken to the girl until now - which was a shame since she seemed pretty nice.

"Oh no, go right ahead," Vashti replied with a nod and a smile. "I don't mind."

She held her guitar in her laps tightley really scared now. "don't eat me" she said quietly. "I'm didn't do anything" she was trying everything she could. She didn't want to be eaten by a zombie, she was so young and she still had plenty of things to acomplish in life.

Wait a sec.. It was only Amy. Ness recognised Amy's voice immiediately. There was nothing to worry about now there was no Zombie trying to eat her. "Amy!" It was more of a statement then a question. She knew it was Amy and no one else unless somone had managed to clone Amy's voice. she was now blushing she must have sounded like such a retard. Her cheeks were now even brighter then her hair and even brighter then Amy's bright red cardian.

Okaiii..Amy wasn't that scary? Was she? Because Nessie was litterally flailing about in panic. And all she'd done was put her hand over her eyes...

Ohh.

Well that made sense. Sort of. Yes....Amy said, slightly confused as she plopped down infront of the ginge who was currently in the second year. Man...Ness had it easy, while Amy had to do OWLs, and that sucked. She didn't like revising. Particulary not now, but she had to....man, it sucked. Hi Amy grinned at the girl, you 'kay now?

Alfie's smile widened as the girl assured her that she didn't mind if she took the seat at her side, allowing the small blonde to gently take the seat in question. "Thanks," she said softly, flashing her a bit of a smile as she tucked some of her long light blonde hair behind one of her ears. Turning her large blue eyes to the girl at her side, she figured it might've been time for introductions, it was only polite. "I'm Alfie, by the way," the girl announced softly, giving a brief nod as she sat up just slightly in her seat.

It was then, as it always happened, that her large blue eyes seemed to wander away from the current situation, spanning out across the large gazebo absentmindedly. And of course, who else did she see but a pair of Ravenclaw prefects? One of course, being her boyfriend Theo. Staring shamelessly for a few moments at the side of his face (all she could really see), the little blonde quickly realized she was staring once more and snapped out of it with a sheepish smile. He was obviously in the middle of something and here she was staring at the boy and ignoring the girl at her side. "I'm sorry, and you are?" Alfie asked softly, turning back to this unknown girl in the seat next to her, the softest of pink playing on her cheeks.

But on to more important things. Her face turned serious, her smile still there but looking determined. "Yes, it did and it does." Acknowledging both tenses, Ivory nodded. "Perfect stuff. Ravenclaw stuff to be more precise." Now obviously animated by whatever it was she was about to say, the prefect continued, eyes shining darkly, like water before a storm "Theo, we have a situation." Already, the girl was thinking out on having this exact conversation later with their head of house. It was that important. "A depressing, degrading, heart breaking, can-not-go-on-any-longer situation!" Her hand curled in a small fist that she hit against the top of her leg for emphasis. "The House cup." That was all that needed to be said really. "These past few terms have left Professor V without it to decorate his office and I think this is the year that that has to change."

Standing up, unable to contain her energy sitting down Ivory looked at him hopefully. "But we'll need to work together. To do our best to rally up the Ravenclaws to earn those points." With a small fist pump at those last words, she brought her hand down blushing slightly. "I know it's your last year," Her eyes went wide hoping he didn't misunderstand. " Not that, I'm trying to talk about sad things or hope you leave or anything. I only mean, I'm sure you'd like to leave...with a bang. You know with both cups and in a blaze of Ravenclaw pride." Her determined smile back on, she put both palms together in a beseeching way, even going as far as to do her rarely used puppy dog face. "Please say you'll help."Eyes wide, lower lip jutting out just slightly, looking for all the world as if she die, just die if he said no, the prefect waited for his answer.

Theodore braced himself, not sure of what would happen next. Was there a supreme dark secret within the walls of the castle that all prefects, heads, and staff knew but were forbidden to speak of? Did they have a secret lair that she was going to clue him in on? Was Ivory about to remind him about the password to the bathroom? Because, regretfully, Theo had already forgotten.

"Ravenclaw stuff, right." He nodded, brows knitting together in a display of utmost concentration. Had they been in a muggle film, dramatic music would have been playing in the background. As Ivory went on, Theo felt like a soldier being counseled by a military colonel. Seeing Ivory in an officer's uniform would be quite a funny sight. But the narrator digresses. Upon arriving at the point of their meeting, Theodore stood with her, letting her know that he was game. "Pleading isn't needed. We can do this, and I would be more than happy to rally the eagles and help our house to victory." Right hand balled into a fist, he nearly thrust it all the way into the air before halting. Embarrassed, he slowly lowered his hand back to his side and let his clenched fingers relax. So, on top of NEWTs, prefect duties a girlfriend, normal socializing, and most likely quidditch, Theo would be helping lead Ravenclaw to victory and to win the House Cup. It sounded excruciatingly doable.

"So..." He began, plopping down onto his seat once more and bringing his feet to rest on the table before him. "Ideas for this master plan to get points? The only thing that comes to mind would be to pass notes in class and tell 'claws the right answers to professors' questions, but..." That was cheating. That was a sin for any Ravenclaw, particularly a prefect.

That was a sin for any Ravenclaw, particularly a prefect.

Resisting the urge to squeal like the girly girl she was not, Ivory settled on spontaneously and very out of character-ly hugging her fellow prefect. It was quick and it was what it was. A simple gesture of comrades in arms.

"Awesome sauce." Standing back, positively beaming at his fist pump, the Ravenclaw prefect sat herself back down copying his example and putting up her feet as she put her brain to work.

Picking up where he trailed off , the petite girl nodded. "...would be cheating." Yeah, and while it would ideally be the perfect plan, her moral conscious would never let it go. "But perhaps we can have weekly study sessions in the common room? I mean, we need to study anyway," They were Ravenclaws after all and he most likely wanted to do well on his NEWTs."Maybe it would benefit everyone if we did it together."

Face scrunching up in thought, she tapped the sides of her shoes together the laces bouncing with each tap. "And we usually find out a week before hand what the topic of the next lesson is," The bulletin board usually helped with that. "Maybe we could read on it a bit and tell them the main points before class so they can be prepared to answer."

Amethyst smiled softly purring lightly as she approached the Gazebo. It looked homey, lights hung, softly cushion-like chairs. It all looked so cool; Everything by far the most gorgeous setup she'd ever seen. She trotted over to one of the chairs and sat quietly. She pulled out some parchment and began writing a letter to one of the women at the orphanage. She wanted to see if she had any offers from adults, who wanted to take her home.

At home he had the lettuce and stuff but this morning he ate some grass on the way over here." he said sitting down on the bench next to the girl and letting Bruce down on the wood seat beside him.

"Well maybe she doesn't eat?" August suggested looking at the Pygmy Puff with a confused and curious look on his face.

Bruce felt as he was sat down on the bench near the leg of another person he looked up at the long haired human girl, sticking his neck out and blinking his eyes.

Taryn sighed sadly. "I don't know, but doesn't everything eat something?" She made sad eyes at Vivian. If only the little pygmy puff could talk to her, and TELL her what she wanted to eat! Taryn felt like a bad momma, not feeding her little baby.

She glanced at the turtle out of the corner of her eye, and patted his head lovingly, "You're looking better and better, Bruce."

"I think so" Nessie burt into laughter. She must have been hillerous to watch, when she panicked. She looked at Amy as she managed to stopped laughing. "Sorry I think I was too focused on my guitar" said Ness picking the guitar up from her lap. She thought of putting it away. Not many people knew she played guitar and she didn't want everyone to have a whole crazy thing about it.

"So how you been?" she asked Amy pretending the guitar didn't exsist. She was sure Amy had been hectically bussy, even if it was only the first day. Being anything above a fith year was not easy peasy, it was hard work.

Okay. What WAS this again? Chandler had never been to a gazebo or seen one so he had no clue what it was but he knew where it was and that was where he was heading right now.

..WOAH. It was SO pretty. *_____* And sooo cool! He was so going to take ~~drag~~ Kaia here one day, they could have a picnic here at night or something to make it more romantic. This gazebo thing was already romantic though and it felt like Chandler was back at France at his uncle Louis' hotel. But he wasn't, he was at Hogwarts and the fact that he was at his SCHOOL and they had an amazing place was EPIC. Truely and utterly epic.

Adam was enjoying how nice the Hogwarts grounds in general were: with its own waterfall that you could swim in, the Lake which was a great place to just chill, and now this gazebo that was honestly the most impressive thing that Adam had ever seen in his life. Walking up the couple of steps to enter the inside of the structure, Adam let out a little whistle of disbelief. Spotting another boy who looked to be just a bit older than him, but was wearing a similar facial expression to his own, Adam said hello.

"Woah...this is pretty impressive, isn't it?"

Think about all the things Chandler could do here. If it wasn't outside he'd probably end up sleeping here. Or maybe he could just do it some day, like have a camp out. That would be nice but he did like the RoR. It was quite warm there too.

Chandler turned his head towards another boy that had joined him to take a look at the gazebo and then he spoke. "Definitely. Zey better not get rid of zis next term, I'd quite like 'aving ze idea of zis being 'ere in my final year." Yep, he was graduating next year. And to be honest, he wasn't quite sure if he was ready for that. Yes he wanted to start a new life on his own with his girlfriend but he liked having his friends around with him. Like one big family in a way.

Uhuh Amy nodded doubtfully, I didn't know you played she said politley, the only person who she knew who did was Everett and he was a poo. You know..a nice poo, but still a poo. If there was such a thing as a "nice" poo.

Pretty good, Amy nodded, you and your friends kept me and Sammy up last night though Amy said, shooting her a look, with your gigiling and shizzle Amy said with a laugh. You?

When the boy responded to Adam's initial remark one word popped into his head: accent. Whew...he had not come across anyone yet who had as thick an accent as this boy did, but thankfully the accent didn't prohibit Adam from being able to understand what the boy had said to him.

"That would be kind of miserable if they took it down this year...is it new?" Adam asked. Honestly he had no idea since this was his first year here, but the way the boy said they hoped they didn't get rid of it made Adam think that maybe it was a new installment to the grounds. After all the waterfall was new, but you never would have guessed.

Chandler eyed the boy. What was up with him? It was his accent wasn't it? At least it wasn't AS thick as his father's or his sisters. Theirs were terrible. And father did talk in French sometimes. "It's new yeah, but if zey take it down NEXT year it would be quite miserable." They could do whatever they liked after Chandler left, he didn't really care that much. It wasn't like he'd be allowed to come back to this place.

"I'm guessing you're new zen if you 'ad no idea if it was new or not."

Adam felt slightly embarrassed that the boy had picked up on him being astounded by his accent. He certainly didn't want to make the kid uncomfortable. Adam shifted his weight slightly before nodding his head. So...it was new...

"Um...yeah. I'm a fifth year but this is my first year at Hogwarts," Adam said with a little nod of the head. "I'm Adam by the way," Adam said, extending his hand towards the boy for him to shake.

She found the most perfect and private spot in the Gazebo. Since no one was there, it was the time for her to read her favorite book. She softly hummed while she read, and hoped not to stumble on any intense and or private moments, like she had all day.

Ohh, yes, introductions were in order, weren't they? The girl apparently thought the same, as she was already introducing herself. Alfie? Vashti thought it sounded like "Elfie" at first, but only briefly. Surely no one would name their daughter something like that. Not that it was a bad name, exactly, but why would you want them to be associated with an elf? Alfie was much a better name than Elfie, in her opinion.

"Is that short for something?" Vashti asked.

But then it seemed something else had caught Alfie's attention, and Vashti followed her gaze, quickly spotting two other people she recognized - Theo and Ivory. She briefly wondered what they could be chatting about but wasn't going to keep staring or try to eavesdrop or anything, so she turned back to Alfie who, after a few more seconds of staring, seemed to remember the conversation they were having. "I'm Vashti," she replied with a kind smile.

"Nice to meet you, Vashti," Alfie replied with a warm smile as she snapped out of her small moment of staring and returned to their conversation. Vashti. That was an interesting name. She'd certainly never heard it before, but she liked it and how unique it was. As Vashti asked if her name was short for something, Alfie let out a soft chuckle and gave a brief nod, "Yeah, my full name is Alfiana," the blonde Ravvie explained, soft amusement filling her features.

"I don't really think it suits me all that much though," she added with a bit of a shrug, absentmindedly setting her bookbag on the ground next to her feet. "So I go by Alfie for the most part. It seems more like me." Alfie flashed her a warm smile before returning her attention to the name Vashti. "Vashti's a pretty unique name too, isn't it? It's nice though, I like it."

"Likewise," Vashti replied, still smiling. It was definitely nice to meet Alfie. She was actually nice and pronounced her name correctly, unlike a certain guy she'd met and kept running into. But then, Alfie was a Ravenclaw, so of course she pronounced it correctly. She was smart like that. And Alfiana was her full name? "That's really pretty," Vashti said honestly.

But she could see why Alfie didn't think it fit. "Alfiana" sounded really formal and fancy and not the sort of name you'd use on a daily basis, especially among friends and fellow students. "Alfie" sounded more friendly and approachable. At least that was how Vashti saw it. "Yeah, I can see what you mean," she said with a nod. Then she shrugged. "Yeah, I guess it is." She'd never yet met anyone who shared her name, so she supposed it was unique. She smiled. "Thanks though."

"Well, thanks," Alfie said with a soft chuckle as Vashti mentioned that her full name was really pretty, a comment that she herself could see the logic in. She liked the name Alfiana, she could see the pretty in it, but it was too formal and it just didn't seem to really fit her. Alfie was just so much more...friendly. And Alfie looked like an Alfie, not an Alfiana.

"You're welcome," Alfie replied with a flash of a warm smile as Vashti thanked her for her compiments about her name. But it was true, the blonde Ravenclaw had never met anyone named Vashti and she immediately liked the name. "I don't know why I've never actually spoken with you, you've been in a lot of my classes," Alfie mentioned with a soft smile, absentmindedly moving some of her long light blonde hair out of her large blue eyes. "I guess we just never crossed direct paths."

Vashti grinned in response to Alfie's thanks. They both had pretty unique names, really. Vashti had certainly never met someone named "Alfiana" or even nicknamed "Alfie" before. It was kinda cool to meet someone else with such an uncommon name, especially when it was clear they'd both noticed each other before now and yet never spoken. At least they had finally met though. That was what mattered.

"I guess not," she replied with a shrug. "So are you a...fifth year? Sixth year?" Vashti was sure it had to be something like that. Alfie didn't seem like she could be much younger than a fifth year, and she looked like she had to be pretty close to Vashti's age.

"I'm a fifth year," Alfie confirmed with a warm smile and a brief nod as Vashti asked about what year she was in. She was pretty sure Vashti wasn't a fifth year, she figured she would've been a bit more familiar with her if she was. But she didn't look all that much older than herself, and she definitely wasn't younger. "What year are you in?" she asked softly, evaluating her expression momentarily as though this would answer the question before Vashti herself could. "Sixth? Seventh even?"

Alfie wasn't all that surprised that she hadn't met Vashti before this point, she hadn't exactly been all that social the year before. That was mostly due to Alfie's quiet nature, she didn't often go out of her way to make that many friends. But she was glad she had gotten the chance to speak with Vashti, she seemed like a really nice person.

Penny wandered down to the lake, she had something on her mind and she needed to think it through before any decisions could be made..

She loved it down here, the lake shimmering in the sunlight, Penny made her way over to a bench on the edge of the lake, she sat down and watched the Giant Squid sunbathing......

Sage hated Salvatore and she had to keep them seperate at all times, as for Silivius... well you would expect a cat to chase such a small and bright thing wouldn't you, but Silvius was too high and mighty to stoop to that level. "So, have you got any pets?" Aurora asked Gwen, making herself more comfortable and producing her bag of Jelly Babies. She bit into one, it squealed, and she swallowed it, savouring the flavour of the strawberry syrup that dripped from them.

"You don't like the common room? But you can see under the black lake... through the windows!" And if that wasn't cool she didn't know what was. Aurora adored Hogwarts. All of it. Except the stairs, there were too many of those...

Aww. "He's a pretty colour" she smiled as she looked in the general direction he had disappeared in. Rather unusual and vibrant, something Gwen's Ma would have absolutely loved. Everything was colourful around her, clothing, the way the house was decorated, it bought in a friendly atmosphere in the Commune which was most definitely welcome. "Yes. I have a kitten called Honesty, I didn't think it would be wise to bring home something exotic into a muggle community" Might scare off some of the children though. And anyway, she thought everyone was supposed to have a magical pet, wasn't it on the supplies list? A toad, cat or a rat? Something like that anyway.

The view under the lake was pretty impressive but it didn't have that warm and cosy atmosphere Gwenyth was longing for. "Not really. My brothers were up in the towers, where they spoke of it being homely, I don't find under the lake homely at all. Don't you find it rather dark and seemingly dingy?" she asked. Maybe she was the only one. Maybe she was so used to her household that the Common Room appeared to be the complete opposite.

"Um...yeah. I'm a fifth year but this is my first year at Hogwarts," Adam said with a little nod of the head. "I'm Adam by the way," Adam said, extending his hand towards the boy for him to shake.

Chandler chuckled, amused slightly on the way the boy reacted. "It's..alright? Don't feel embarrassed, man." He was French, of course someone would be puzzled or whatever he was feeling about it. "Zere's nothing wrong with it, well..zere's nothing wrong with being new in case you wondered what I was talking about." Unless the boy thought there was something wrong with it then Chandler would be quite concerned because he didn't care that he was new in his fourth year. Though, there were quite a lot of new students then transferring in his year.

"Awesome, I'm a Sixth year. Zis iz my zird zo I am quite used to the school." So he should be, he would be worried if he wasn't. Ah, Adam. That was his name but Chandler didn't exactly expect him to tell him his name as soon as they both made eye contact. That would just be weird and..unrealistic. o__O "Chandler." He grinned and took Adam's hand to shake.
