The yellow flag flapped happily from the prefect's hand. Where was it going to be put now? Such an adventure for a little flag!

When Eino had caught his breath, he looked around for a place to hide the yellow flag. It had to be somewhere that wasn't easy to reach. Looking up, Eino saw the gargoyles that were at the end of each one of the columns that supported the courtyard. He used a levitation charm on the flag to levitate it to the gargoyle's mouth, then uttered the incantation to the sticking charm. One end of the flag was safely attached to the gargoyle's mouth while the other flapped in the wind. Whoever dared to take the flag was going to have to use the Finite Charm on it, but they would have to be careful not to let the flag fly away. After all, the Summing Charm hadn't worked on the flag when he tried it, so that was out of question. Maybe climb it up there? He looked back at Beatrice and the other Ravenclaws for approving looks. He knew exactly how he was going to take the flag down, but did the others? If Eino had an evil grin, this would be a perfect opportunity for him to use it. But alas, he didn't, so he just looked like he always did, blank.

The yellow flag flapped happily from the gargoyle's mouth.

Grrr. If he’s going to ask that one more time I’m going to… curse him. Or something. If I keep a straight face, maybe he’ll forget about this. Yes. This might work, the third year told herself. However, as she looked back at Lewis, she couldn’t help smirking. So you are not even joking? You ACTUALLY don’t get it?! It was kind of funny to see how clueless he was.

‘You don’t trust me?’, Gwen said, not at all surprised. Soo? ‘I don’t see why not’, she trolled with him. ‘Anyway—‘, the third year started saying, and tried to change the subject.

This worked?! Who else could have possibly not understood what she meant!?! ‘Huh?’ What are Ravenclaws like?, Gwendolyn repeated in her head while looking back at Lewis. He seemed older than her, and this meant he spent more time at Hogwarts than she did. ‘Well… umm… mostly… intelligent? And creative?’, the girl said, not sure if he really didn’t know.

He was on the verge of poking her arm again. She didn't answer his question! She just ignored it! "Tell me!" Lewis urged on, narrowing his eyes at her a little. Hang on, was that a...smirk?! Uhm. Maybe he didn't want to know the answer after all. "Nevermind." He finally muttered, averting his gaze down to his hands. Now he wanted to know why she'd been smirking, though.

Was she serious?! She couldn't see why he didn't trust her!? "Well, for one, I don't know you." Lewis explained, completely oblivious to her sarcasm. "And then again, you're not very nice either." Because she just wasn't. Making fun of him like that and all. Why was he still here anyway?!

"I'm not stupendously funny." He clarified with a nod, when she seemed to be a little confused by his answer. Or was it surprised? Did she think he was stupendously funny?! Lewis bit his lip while considering this option, only being pulled out of his reverie when Gwen said what Ravenclaws were like. "Oh. Okay. So, they're not funny?" What kind of strange trait was that anyway? Funny. Huh.

Minerva was wanting her flag back. She knew were it was and looked around. She twisted and tapped her had with her wand "Prehenso" just to make sure her hand was ready. Then she took her chance when no one was looking. She hurried out into the courtyard straight for the gargoyle jumping at it's mouth and reaching with her left hand to grab her flag..

Just when he kept asking to know why she laughed, Gwen made sure she had her wand. As she was about to take it out and make him float or make his tongue swell, she could hear Lewis mumble a ‘nevermind’. Good!, the third year thought, dropping the idea of jinxing him… at least for now.

Gwen didn’t expect to get an answer to that question, but she heard him explaining something. ‘Well… yeah’, she nodded when hearing the first reason, but then stopped and looked coldly at him. She was about to snap back with a ‘I’m not nice? I’m the nicest person I know’ or something, but then realized it was true. She wasn’t a nice person. And she knew it. Big deal. ‘Meh…’ If you say so too…

‘Got it’, the girl mumbled. You are not stupendously funny. ‘Erm, I don’t think all of them have the same qualities and stuff. There might be some fun Ravenclaws… ‘, she admitted. Just like there are some mean ones as well. ‘Why am I not in Slytherin, again?’, she mused and then shook her head. ‘Anyway—‘, Gwendolyn started saying and looked back at Lewis. ‘I don’t think Ravenclaws are ALL funny. Like they are not ALL smart. Some of the first years can’t even spell their names correctly… I’m still wondering why they got in this house’ Psh.

Minerva couldn't believe how much time she was getting to get up this gargoyle to get the puff flag back. She reached with her left hand to grab the flag keeping an eye out knowing it was only a matter of time before she would be spotted.

Taylor saw a hufflepuff trying to capture the flag. She pointed her wand at the girl, "Confundus"

Minerva saw the girl coming "Protego" she yelled pointing her wand and then turned to reach out with her charmed hand to get the flag. Come on little flag come to your rightful owner a puff...

"Descendo" Taylor hoped the charm hit the girl. Come on flag don't go to the huffie....

She was happy to see that she wasn't the only one who liked Herbology. She smiled when he stated he messed up on the seed thing. "Oh, it's alright!" She showed him the burn on her hand. "I got a bit to close.." She giggled softly.

Violet saw that her friend Taylor was trying to avoid the Hufflepuff capturing their flag! She fumbled for her wand and pointed to her and said. "Expelliarmus!". Don't let her get the flag please.

Minerva laughed and jumped away for a second at their spells pointing her wand "Protego" and then to the other "Protego" then she hurried pointing at one "Expelliarmus" and then to the other "Expelliarmus". Minerva hurried to grab the the yellow flag out of the gargoyle before they came back at her again. "Come on flag I know you want back with the puffs." she giggled trying to hurry.

Violet huffed in frustration as the Hufflepuff blocked both their spells. She was glad that she had learned some other ones from her book. "Immobulus." pointing her wand at the girl again and hoping it will stall time.

Minerva pointed her wand she had enough "Protego" she jumped running away without the flag. Before she left the courtyard smiling at the claws. They should know she will be back...

TAylor pointed at the girl again and used the same charm as her friend, "Immobulus!"

Logan examined her hand and his eyes widened a little. "Ow..that looks like it hurts..." he said. "I'm sorry about that!" he said, looking back at her.

Violet stuffed her wand back into her pocket and happy that the Hufflepuff girl ran away. She ran up to Taylor smiling wide. "Great job!" and offered her her hand for a high five.

She highfived her friend, "Great job to you too, Violet." She smiled at Violet. "Though we still need to kept an eye out for any other intruders."

Minerva smiled as she slipped around to the other side of the courtyard still hiding and quietly giggled as she saw them so confident as they high five. She jumped out of her hiding place and ran to the gargoyle with her charmed had she reached for the flag and with her wand she pointed at the girls ready to fend them off.

Taylor heard footsteps and turned to see the same huffie trying to get the flag again! Pointing her wand at the girl taylor said, "Immobulus!"

The same huffie girl again? "Immobulus!" Violet cried at the same time as Taylor. It better get her this time.

Minerva froze, darn it.. stupid spell she stood waiting for them to at least to the counter before she went to jail... Hoping she wouldn't be there long.

Alyssa slowly crept up and pointing her wand at the Ravenclaw said" Immobulus" hoping to freeze her before she could react to her appearance. Then Alyssa pointed her wand at Minnie and said "Finite" hoping to release the spell that was holding her captive. Since the flag was out of reach right now, Alyssa decided that they should just get away for now. So she pointed her wand at the ground and said "Glisseo" turning the ground into slippery ice for a quick getaway.
