The red flag was in her pocket so no one could see she flopped down on the courtyards ground drantically and got up again! "Hiii,"

Woohoo

she winked at Taylor who was battling with a huffie prefect, she would have helped her but it looked as she could handle it on her own

Taylor caught the wink LuLu sent her, and without looking away, "Good job." TAylor reached over tapping the Hufflepuff on the shoulder, "Tag." Taylor smiled. Why didn't i think of that before???

Eino returned to the Ravenclaw territory and, yes, the Ravenclaw flag was still there. However, just when he was about to take a break, he noticed that the Hufflepuff prefect was still attempting to steal it. He was panting. With his hands on his knees, Eino could barely stand up or raise his arm for a spell, let about run towards the girl and tag her. HE remained there, trying to catch his breath, hoping that that the Hufflepuff would not be able to touch it. For now, there was little he could do about it...

"Good job to me, Good job to you your good a defence," she replied smiling at her and it widened as she was going into tip the prefect huffie

TWO ickle faced birdies? That was who the 'Claws left to defend their precious flag? Hehe.

Arya could soo handle herself against them.

She kept her shield long enough for the spells to be sent back to them, dropping it when she got hold of the flag...

Sweet success!

She locked her left gripped-charmed hand around as much of the flag that she could, and quickly found herself whipping around the boulder. And there would be another sore spot after this.

The prefect's tub would be getting visits from her after this was done.

"Depulso." Her wand aimed her wand at the offending object, and sent it a little ways off in an area COMPLETELY free of any students. No one would get hurt that way.

Then it was her rolling to her feet with a giggle!groan, and bounding off for the pathways before the kiddies could stop her. But they could try to catch her!

OOC: Arya's not here anymore guys, so I'm not replying to these, and she does have the flag. Come after if you want back!

Not so fast! One can't grip things if one doesn't have... Come on, Eino, think! "Eureka!" The boy exclaimed and coughed before standing up straight and pointing his wand at the girl's hand. THUMBS! You can't grab stuff without thumbs. "Bestiar hands!" Eino said concentrating on the first type of thumb-less hands that he could find... tentacles.

Sure, she already had the yellow cloth in her hands but she let it go. Wait, she did not let it go. It was taken from her by that badger! Plus, she was treading on dangerous grounds. The Huffies obviously had the advantage because of their number. She was almost captured, good thing she had fast legs that allowed her to escape.

Scoffing, Beezus returned to the Ravenclaw territory which was the Courtyard. However she was welcomed by the most peculiar scene. Their Prefect, Eino was stopping a badger from taking away their blue cloth which was...under the rock? Oh! Brilliant..such a brilliant idea. Using a rock to protect it from the enemies.

"Err hi Eino..you did uhmm..a good job." she commented as she looked at the Hufflepuff Prefects hand. "Do you need help with errr--her?" Beezus asked. Maybe she'll be better off at guarding than stealing capturing the other team's flags.

Coming back from the owlery with some bruises she tried to hide, Gwendolyn rolled her copy of the Daily Prophet and went to search for a place where she could read it. I just need peace and quiet…, the third year thought while walking along the corridor that lead to the Courtyard. Noticing that it wasn’t too crowded, the girl nodded and walked slowly towards one of the benches.

Sitting down, the third year began scanning the first page of the newspaper. Hogwarts to Celebrate Magical Anniversary. Hmm… didn’t they write about it even a long time ago? Psh., the girl thought and flipped the first pages, only reading the head titles and checking out some of the pictures. Hmph. Nothing. Absolutely nothing interesting!?

Well, just that. Just that. Oh, whatever. "Nothing."

That was so unfair. He knew her but he didn't remembered Erin. The one who knew him so well on their first day of meeting. Probably, Tiff and Jonathan shared a compartment together, that's why they talked about a lot of things.

"I am wishing for..." 'You silly.' But Erin couldn't say that in front of him. "I shouldn't tell," said Erin shaking her head. And about destiny, Erin was an old school kind of girl. "Yes, I do believe in them. I've seen much from my parents," the Ravenclaw smiled.

Since he had not been successful at convincing his cat Vanilla to come along - she preferred lying at the fireplace in the Common Room - Lewis was once again wandering around the grounds on his own. Somehow he suspected that his cat hadn't moved at all since they'd arrived here. Well, that one time when he'd caught her trying to sneak out of the Common Room. She'd probably been trying to go out to search for Walnut. Heh.

Anyway, here he was, on his own. Quite bored. And quite cold too. Stopping once he'd reached the courtyard, Lewis let his eyes scan the area lazily for a moment. And spotted somebody. Somebody who looked familiar. It was that girl, Gwen. Who probably thought he was crazy or something. He didn't really care whether or not people thought about him or acknowledged him or anything but he didn't like people thinking bad things about him. He just had to clarify that he was in fact not crazy.

Where he took the courage for what he did next from, he would never know but in a matter of seconds, Lewis was standing next to the bench Gwen was sitting on. "I'm not weird." He stated with a curt nod. Yes. FYI, you know.

Checking out the pictures taken for the Hogwarts Magical Anniversary, Gwen started smirking. This thing would better be interesting, she thought and started reading the article. Nothing new!, she realized just after having read the first sentences. They go on writing about the same stuff. Psh… please, the girl thought and continued reading, just to make sure she didn’t miss something.

‘Hmm?’, she mumbled, but didn’t mind looking at who was talking… probably to her. Finally raising her eyes from the daily Prophet, Gwendolyn looked coldly at the other student. Ah… you, the girl thought, recognizing Lewis.

Say what? Yes, saying that definitely doesn’t make you look even weirder…, she thought and bit her lip, trying not to laugh. ‘If you say so…’, the Ravie replied curtly and then looked back at the article. I’m going to skip this…, she told herself and flipped the next couple of pages. I didn’t think he was weird… ‘till now, she thought and pretended to be reading some article.

Nate was running in to see were the flag was. Then he saw the hufflepuff prefect needing help. Nate ran in to help her. Then he saw the flag. Nate ran for the flag he was almost there.

She stared at the huffie firstie that actully believed they could get the Gryffindor flag from them... NOT on her watch... she had to do somthing ANYTHING? Without harming him or anything a... charm.. Anything...''Obliviate,'' she said randomly.. she'd make him forget yeah that was good.

She thought hard about it again eemm... if that didn't work she was catching up she reached out to tag the Hufflepuff ''TAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaa,'' she began

"...Prehenso!"

Twisting his wand and then tapping his left hand, Darwin almost shrieked in annoyance, biting his lip to stop it. Third time had not been lucky, as he'd thought it could be. He just couldn't get the hang of this charm, and so that meant, for now, he wouldn't be capturing anyone else's flag. Maybe he could just -

A HUFFLEPUFF! Running for the flag! He looked about the same age as Darwin himself, and the little boy darted through people with an outstretched hand as the boy reached for the blue flag. "TAG. TAG TAG TAG TAGGG!"

Nate didn't see the obliviate coming towards him. In about 3 or 4 seconds he was down on the ground from the spell. "What just happened. Where am I?" He was looking all around. He looked at the ravenclaw and said "Do I know you? What is this?" Then after a few moments he started to remeber. "What. Oh no not again. Jail! Come on I was just captured by slytherin. But I can't do anything about it. Ughh I'm you're prisoner now. Just don't expect someone to come. Because another teamate that saved me the first time is in jail now.

Arabella-Marie snuck into the courtyard and saw the ravenclaws all guarding there flag she ran as quick as she could towards the flag and hoped to capture it before the ravenclaws caught on to what was going on

... Suprisingly easy LuLu smirked and also hopped around a bit atleast she had him over with and in jail "Emm yeah... don't you remember you were hit by ehh... freezing charm..," she replied she was terrible at acting.. but the boy had no reasons to suspect it was a lie..
A gryffindor caught the edge of her eye.. She knew they'd be back but news flash she was not loosing the flag for Ravenclaw "Prehenso," she muttered softly then she ran after the gryffie going into tag her

"Someones comeing for me. I was supposed to be hiding. But since I'm not there they're going to come and look for me." Hopefully they wouldn't know he is lieing. He justs wants to scare them. "Oh and they are 7th years."

Arabella-Marie could see the Ravenclaw girl coming to get her and dived out the way and continued to look to see where the ravenclaw flag was and was going to capture it and get away from this area as quick as she could

She was okay with that the huffie seemed to be vaguely annoying so she probably arranged it with a huffie if this was going to go on

The girl could look everywhere for all she cared but she had better get a move on before they were all going to surround her.

Arabella-Marie knew that the ravenclaws would surround her soon and she had to get a move on before she got captured and spent time in jail until one of her housemates came to rescue her she shouted "Stupefy" and pointed her wand at the girl who was protecting the flag at the moment

"Oh deliever this message to Taylor." It read.

He handed the note to the person he told the lie to. "If you could do that I'd be extremly delighted."

rearranged a little.
Darwin laughed a little, bouncing on the balls of his feet as he looked between the boy on the floor and the girl from his house who'd magiked him. "What did you do?" he whispered, supporting a grin. The first year had never spoken to her before, but now was as good as ever to star a conversation, as they were both protecting their flag.

Plus, he wanted to know - he wanted to be able to do it, one day.

"No, but I'm Damon, and you're in jail," he said happily, still bouncing on the balls of his feet. He was proud to be a part of the capture, even if the credit really did have to go to the older girl.

Pretty sure it wasn't a freezing charm, Darwin opened his mouth to say something - and then closed it, but quickly so as not to be too noticeable. He didn't know what a freezing charm was, or looked like, so maybe this HAD been one.

Oh, he seriously needed to learn some more magic. Prehenso!" This time, Darwin was proud of his efforts - his hand was tingling a little, and as he pulled on his robe it felt odd. But he'd done it, and that was so COOL.

And now another person trying to steal THEIR flag. "BYE." Darwin called to the Hufflepuff, before taking off in pursuit of his older comrade. He watched her dodge into tag the Gryfindor, and miss, and then go around the side. Deciding it would be better to approach from two different ways, he dived around and leaned in to tag her.

"TAG TAG. TAG TAG TAG."

Arabella-Marie almost lost her cool as she had to sit in jail until a housemate came to free her and was cursing her bad luck and hoped that she wouldnt be sitting in jail for ages

Taylor saw another person trying to steal the flag. She went after the girl like her teammates were doing.

To her cousin, "I'm right here you know, Nate?" Taylor rolled her eyes.
