As weird as it felt to be called 'buck-o', Treyen had to laugh at Keefer, though. No, he didn't mind, he actually minded the 'why was Keefer calling him that' part of it all. Now he knew...well, he hoped the name wouldn't catch on, but he didn't mind that it came from Keefer.

"Oh, got it." So, it wasn't really on purpose. He...still wasn't sure about the meaning, though...

...more people to bring onto Team Seven? Sure! Just...hold on...not yet.

Strange as it may be, but Alyssa was actually glad that she had been tagged. "Thanks,"smiled at Amelia before making the calculations that would get her to the Personal Number 5. Her Personal month day was 7, so she picked the 25th

25= 2+5 = 7
7+7 = 14
1+4= 5

Once she had got the Personal Day number, Alyssa made her way to the 5 safe desk and touched it.

Sierra was still lingering in the middle of the room, people rushing around left and right tagging anyone within reach. For some reason, though, she had yet to get tagged. This was a first for her--waiting to get caught! The thing was, she couldn't participate in the game if she didn't get caught, so...she just left herself wide open to get tagged.

Minerva went up to another student and smiled. "You look like you want a new number. Tag you are now an 8"

"I do, yes" Sierra said, and she even went as far as to hold out her arm to make it easier to get the tagged. Ohh, the things she'd do for house points! She was even being nice to the Puffers for a change, but again, that was only because house points were at stake.

...and now she was back to being an eight. How was it that her number always went back to eight? Anyway...

"October 8," she mumbled to herself.

9 + 8 = 17
1 + 7 = 8

Who was out there just waiting to be tagged?

Deciding that she had had a long enough break, Kurumi pushed herself off the desks and sort of loomed off to the side, not moving too far away from the safe zones just in case. Then...she noticed Sierra and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips for some unknown reason.

Kurumi ran up behind the Slytherin, placed a hand on her left shoulder, and attempted to muffle a giggle. "Tag!"

Not waiting for her glare reaction, Kurumi scampered off.

Minerva had been an 8 for sometime.. She was getting tired of being one, but she still looked around to see if anyone could be tagged.

Just when Sierra whirled around, she caught sight of Hollingberry the Hero running throughout the room. Okay, so what number did the girl have? If it was an eight, Sierra didn't even need to bother. If it was something else, though...

Sierra didn't need to wonder much longer, though. Hollingberry was gaining on her, and since Sierra needed another number to figure out, she let the girl tag her. "Thanks, Hollingberry," she muttered.

There. That should startle the girl to next Saturday and back.

"October 4," thought Sierra.

9 + 4 = 13
1 + 3 = 4



...and now it was time for payback.

"Hey, ..." Hey, you! Sierra didn't know the girl's name, but when she got a bit closer, she reached out and tagged her. "Right back at'cha. Now you're a four."

Ella couldn't believe Minnie had tagged her again. She was really quite good at this game, tagging people left and right. Ella walked over to safety and began thinking of a way to get an 8. Alright so 8 + what is going to get back to 8? Well 8+27 means 8+(2+7) which is 8+9 which is 17 and 1+7 equals 8! "October 27th will give me an 8." Ella smiled, happy to have figured it out. She decided to take a breather and watch the other students for a minute or so.

Glenn saw a non eight and decided to move in, "Tag!" She called as she tapped her lightly on the shoulder, "You're now an eight." Glenn said, skipping away from her.

Ira went to the centre of the class and tapped a girl on her shoulder, "Tag! Number 4 now!"

Ella had only just left the safety zone when a classmate came out of nowhere and tagger her. She jumped a bit when she was tapped on the shoulder but smiled at her tagger. "Okidoki!" Now, 8+23 is 8+(2+3) is 8+5 which equals 13 which is 1+3 which equals 4. October 23rd would work! "October 23rd!" She said aloud as she headed back into the center of the classroom, eager to tag someone.

Minerva smiled. "Thanks I was getting kind of bored." Ok now she had to think of a 4. hmmm ok what if I do 2+8=10, 1+0=1, 1+3=4. "Ok my day is the 28th." she giggled and went looking for someone to tag or be tagged again.

Alyssa had seen that Glenn had still not returned to her safe zone, so she quietly crept up behind her and then tapped her on the shoulder and said,"Tag You're now a 5"



She then went back to standing in the middle to tag more non 5's.

Amelia headed into the free zone for a bit so that she could rest after being tagged a lot of times.

She stayed there touching a desk for about 20 minutes, and then decided to head back out into the middle of the room so that she could play some more.

Alyssa saw Amelia join her in the middle of the floor. It looked like she came for the 4's. So Alyssa stepped up to her and smiled,"Hi there, how are you doing? My name is Alyssa."

Thanks?!

Kurumi stared at Sierra. Wait...was the world coming to an end? No, this wasn't a sign of that. If she had said 'Thanks, KURUMI' then all of Hogwarts should be worried about the Dark Lord rising from the ashes and destroying everything. Right now, maybe only half of Hogwarts would come crashing down or something.

"Um...you're...welcome?" she asked...still in shock.

Sophie smiled and walked up to Alyssa. She touched her arm and grinned at the girl. "Tag!"

Number five now? Okay, Glenn calculated "October 15th" She murmured to herself and went over to the desks to rest up a little bit before heading back out again.

Minnie went out into the middle of the floor. There were so many fours maybe she needed to be tagged to another number. So she just skipped around waiting watching any possible taggies or taggers..

Vashti had been able to escape the other students' for awhile, and soon she had gone over and touched a desk for a couple minutes so she wouldn't be tagged unexpectedly. But soon, it seemed lots of the students were once again becoming the same number - this time a four - and so Vashti decided to move away from the desks and back into the middle of the room. As she did, she noticed another girl who appeared to be around her age doing the same, so she ran over and tapped her shoulder.

"Tag!" she said, grinning. "You're now an eight." Then she quickly walked in another direction, searching for another person to tag.

The fours were starting to take over the game and Ella knew she would need to be tagged by someone else if she wanted to continue playing. She saw Minnie skipping around and decided to take the same approach. She started walking in circles, hoping to entice another numbered played to tag her. Come and tag meeeee!

Alright. 8. Anya was going to be an eight now...

She thought for a moment. Her Personal Month was 2... which meant she needed 6 more numbers.

"October 15th!" she declared happily.



Now to find someone new! Her eyes landed on someone walking around in circles.

"Tag! Eight!" she said going to tag the other girl. And now she was off to tag someone else!

Amelia was surprised when she was said hello to. Though it was a pleasant surprise. She smiled at the girl. "Hi! I'm Amelia. I'm doing good I'm having fun. How about you?" Though she had a feeling she might know her name already because of classes. It was nice meeting new people though. :33

Didn't stop her from being wary though, in case she was tagged again.

Oh. When Amelia had been momentarily distracted, she got tagged again. And she was back to her original Personal Day Number. :3

"October 17!" she said immediately. That was today.

Ella smiled, happy to be tagged. "Thanks!" I've been 8 several times now so I know several days that could work... "October 9th or October 27th!" she said with a smile.
