Ducks, fifteen in all and quite possibly already named, live in this pond. Go on, take a seat on the rocky ledge and dip your feet into the water! Rest assured, these ducks will not bite, but if you just so happen to have any type of bread or cookies on you at the time, the ducks have been known to take without asking.
Waylon keeps a good eye on the pond and the ducks, so no funny business.
Text Cut: Yes, it'd been rumored before. We want to see that happen ;)

Although he certainly was not that little anymore...the dog easily came up to Adam's waist if not higher.
A part of Adam was quite thankful that Louisa decided not to comment on his embarrassed face. Perhaps she was just as embarrassed about the situation as he was. Paulie and him were definitely going to be chatting and depending on what exactly it was that Paulie said would determine whether or not he pushed the matter later on with Louisa. Adam was just really hoping that it wasn't something that meant Adam should be shoving his head into the ground in shame. At the mention of Paulie's look Adam gave a little chuckle. "He is pretty notorious for that look of his...but it's just so Paulie you know?" Adam said with a laugh. Of course Adam was familiar with the look considering Paulie had given it to him on more than one occasion when he was plotting something or telling Adam something that Adam probably wouldn't openly admit out loud to anyone.
Adam understood what she meant. "Well, once people see the two of you interacting for themselves they should see that it's a big misunderstanding," Adam said with a small nod. At least Adam was assuming that it was a definite misunderstanding, and Louisa's reaction definitely made it seem that way. He hadn't meant for his silence to be so obvious, but really he shouldn't have been that surprised. Louisa had an uncanny knack for picking up on his emotions and addressing them. Figuring that there was no point in trying to deny anything, Adam shifted uncomfortably, plucking out a couple blades of grass.
"Rubiey broke up with me," Adam said with a gentle shrug, clearing his throat since the sentence had come out so husky.
Awww, hearing more news from JB made Louisa in a better mood. She hugged her knees and rested her chin over them. "Chasing after a squirrel, eh? He's still so energetic then. Did he show any more magic abilities? Is he apparating and disapparating again?"
Just so Paulie? Well. Yeah. Kind of. Shrugging one shoulder, she replied, "I guess so. Well, the detention wasn't all bad." Louisa didn't want to go all day criticizing the boy's best mate. Even she wasn't that rude. "Aside from wearing completely filthy and hideous shirts, I think I was able to connect with him." Pause. "Just a little." Another pause. "When he shut up." Chuckling, she gave up, "I don't know. He did kill the spider for me. That was chivalrous." Hmm. Oh wait. "But he called Little John." A frown made its way to Louisa's brows. It was a complete cycle, she'd find something nice about the boy and then one of his tease words would pop up and made her change her mind. But she did try! For Adam. She did.
The next bombing news, though, made Louisa's jaw drop. "She- what?" HOW COULD SHE! That stupid little girl! Pfffffft, see? Louisa wouldn't dislike someone for nothing! She had a gift of pointing out jerks, apparently. "I'm so sorry, Adam. That's bad. How? When? Why?" You know, the usual.

She smiled, giving Logan time to chime in.
Logan chuckled. "He is? That's great to hear!" Logan said. "Oh, don't worry about that. It's alright...I understand you had to leave.." he said when he really didn't understand why she left. She was acting real nervous at the Topiary gardens....

"Yeah, I was feeling rather off and I needed to get my thoughts together. Much better now though!" She smiled widely at him. "I have a feeling things will be much better from now on. No more freaking out when something is wrong, I'm going to try and stay positive no matter what the situation." She meant it, she wanted to enjoy Hogwarts.

OOC...headed off to bed. Night!
"Ohh, yeah. I can see that." he said. "Oh that's great that you're better!" he said smiling back at her. "Oh wow! Good for you, Ella!" he said smiling and giving her a big hug. He was so glad he had met her, she was a real amazing girl. And...very cute. Heh heh.
"It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not."

"Oh yeah," Adam said with a little chuckle. "I think he might be even more energetic now than when we got him!" Any magical abilities? "There was this one time...I was chasing him around the house trying to get a hold of him so that I could give him a bath. He ran into my bedroom, and next thing I know he's barking at the bottom of the steps. It's like he apparated from my room to the downstairs lobby. It was insane," Adam said with a small shake of the head. "We found ourselves one kind of a dog," Adam said with a little smirk.
Adam listened to Louisa, appreciating the effort that she was making to say something nice about Paulie even though she was failing miserably. He had to at least give her credit for trying. "Spiders?" Adam said, raising his eyebrows slightly. Well...they were in a dungeon so he guessed it made sense that there would be all kinds of unsettling insects down there. "I didn't know spiders scared you that much, but I'm glad Paulie stepped up to the plate and helped out," Adam said with a smile. At the new nickname Paulie gave Louisa he furrowed his eyebrows slightly. Little John? Hmmm...Adam was sure there was a significance there but he couldn't pick up on it right off the bat. "He means it in a completely harmless way," Adam said with a little chuckle. "Although even I am stumped on the significance of that one..."
Louisa sounded just as shocked as Adam did about the whole thing. Honestly when he read the letter he felt like he had been nailed in the chest with a brick, and talking about it now brought back the feeling. "She...uh...she didn't really say why in the letter. Something about being too far apart and going different directions....I don't really...I don't know. I couldn't really make it through the whole thing." Adam let out a small sigh. It was odd feeling it had, feeling kind of numb towards the whole thing. "I knew that we hadn't seen each other in a while, but I thought she would at least want to try and make it work..." Adam gave another shrug of the shoulders and cleared his throat.

It was true, he would duel to the death to keep people safe. But Jordan also had a point. Nate strode over and threw an arm around his shoulders. "You're with us now!" he said. That meant that they were no longer a trio, though, and the whole thinking of names thing was started over from scratch....
Jez stayed in her defensive stance, her arms folded across her chest, glaring steadily at the two boys. Part of her wanted to relax and accept Nate's answer, but her pride (stupid thing!) kept getting in the way. "They burned Pam's house down," she said through slightly gritted teeth, answering Jordan's question about the Barstows. "With her parents and my siblings inside. Jasper's badly hurt, and we're not sure if Sam's alive or ..." She bit her lip, looking down at the grass, a cold stone of guilt seeming to weigh her down. If Team Wolf had left Pam motherless ... Jez really didn't know what she'd do. She couldn't really go after them herself, not until she was seventeen. As soon as she had reached that milestone, however, she was making killing Jared her first priority, no matter what Keegan thought or said.
"We're all going to have to go into hiding," she sighed, twisting a lock of hair around her right index finger. "So you can stay with us, if you want." She was still talking mainly to Jordan, not quite looking at Nate. She was still slightly annoyed that he'd gone to Tate behind her and Pam's backs.
Gustav smiled back at Aaron. The boy seemed really friendly and wasn't mean at all. It was a relief he didn't shout at him angrily
"Thank you..."he said gratefully as he took some cookie crumbs Aaron had offered. He didn't want to be rude to him since it was his fault he had bumped into him. The cookie crumbs tasted great! He hadn't had M&M chip before. Then he noticed he was in Hufflepuff house too!
"I am Gustav Ferrom...transfer student from Durmstrang,in fourth year now..."
"What year are you in?"he asked.
Aaron sat back down again and ate some more of the crumbs. Even all smushed up they tasted goooood.
This boy Aaron had never seen him before seemed pretty shy. Aaron shrugged, maybe he just didn't like meeting new people as much as Aaron himself did.
So the boy, Gustav, was from Durmstrang. That explained why they'd never met before. 'Ooooh, coool.' He nodded excitedly, 'isn't that like... somewhere really cold?' It was, right? The other schools sounded interesting, but he adooooored Hogwarts too much. 'I'm a Sixth year. Just be glad you aren't a Fifth year.' Aaron said, remembering all the studying all too well.

"At least they didn't tie them all down in the basement and torture them first, all the while taking pictures that they knew I would get," Nate said, almost bitterly. Jasper may have been hurt, but Nate was sure that Sam disapparated from the house. And he would bet anything that she'd turn up sometime soon.
Nate ignored the fact that Jez was pretty much disregarding him and jumped right on anyway. "Then there's the answer, isn't it? We follow Keegan and Des' instruction, keep our wands at the ready, and hold each other close. That's how we stay alive," he replied to the girl who seemed to know he had some sort of point, but didn't want to admit it.

Jez raised an eyebrow at Nate. She was finding it really hard to stay annoyed at him. In fact she'd found it very hard not to go over and give him a hug when he described his parents' deaths. She'd had to tug on the lock of hair twisted around her finger to remind herself to stay focused. Yep, focused on the anger. A great technique.
"Who said anything about following Keegan and Des' instructions?" she asked, smiling slightly. "Personally, I wouldn't follow Des' anyway, but if we're going to survive we're going to have to think for ourselves a lot. Although Keegan will probably want to chain us up in a nice safe place until the holidays roll around again." She reflected glumly on this prediction. Keegan had become even more protective since Team Wolf had made an appearance in their lives, which was understandable. But when you consider how protective he was before Team Wolf ... you could see Jez's problem. "If he thinks we're just going to lie low like a bunch of rats all summer," she muttered, kicking at a small rock which bounced into the pond, scaring a few ducks. That only made Jez feel worse.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

But, Kurumi could tell that Daichi really didn't need another mini lecture or anything that would make him feel any more uncomfortable than he already was. Instead, she simply gave the younger Slytherin a smile and a nod.
"A fowl is another word for a bird, especially ducks, geese, turkeys, or pheasants." Kurumi just left out the bit about many of them referring to the types of birds that were hunted for game...that would only make Daichi cry. "I think...it would be the right thing to do," Kurumi nodded, but she wasn't going to force him to.
Oh no...not the puppy dog eyes. Not that she was planning on saying no to him anyway. "Of course," she winked. Someone who loved ducks as much as Daichi should be able to help care for them. "Do you guys want to head over there...now?"
"Really? i did not know that..." WHY didn't he know what a fowl was? He felt like a bad duck lover now. He was going to use that word now, it would look like he knew aloooot about birds then.
Maybe he should ask the librarian for a book about duckies so he can read more of it? Surely there was a book about such creatures in the library. Daichi made a mental note to ask before he shifted his gaze to Kurumi with a big smile. If what she had said is true and the Groundskeeper wouldn't laugh at him, he wanted to go. "Yes now~!" he said and was about to turn when Thea spoke.

Sighing, she crossed her arms as Kurumi tried to persuade Daichi to go and see the Groundskeeper.
Watching the ducks, she automatically frown. Why would anybody want a duck?! Out of all the things you could have.. why a duck? Thea would rather have a small elephant. Well.. that almost seemed like favouritism as she liked elephants. A lot, actually. Even after the Slytherin had nearly been eaten whole by Squishy, he still wanted one.
Thea looked up, to see Daichi poking his tounge out at her. An eyebrow went up as she snorted. 'Whatever..' she waved a hand. However, she did nod in agreement with Kurumi. 'Can we go now?.. This is taking so long it's untrue.' Seriously. Thea had expected to nab the duck and GO.. She had not expected so many complications in Daichi's plan. She snorted in disgust as she watched Squishy clean his feathers. 'I honestly do not understand why you still want to be around them since Squishy over there nearly ate you alive..' The Gryffindor shurgged.
He mentally rolled his eyes when the Gryffindor commented that it was taking so long. He had never said how long it would take so she knew she was up to the unknown time! He did however feel bad for her because he knew she had not eaten since she went straight with him to the pond.
A thank you was on the tip of his tongue when she HAD to comment on little Squishy. "Hey! he ..or she? is cute and i wanna have that duck! i don't care if Squishy nearly ate me alive" because they are going to be beeeestfriends later , yesh.

Kurumi wanted to point out that ducks just didn't eat people, so Daichi didn't need to worry about...Squishy...doing so, but it really wouldn't matter so much to their conversation anyway. Instead, she laughed lightly and shook her head at the two.
"Well, if our destination is all settled, we should get going," she chirped, clapping her hands together and looking over her shoulder at the ducks. No doubt they would be seeing more of Daichi soon. VERY soon. "Alright, everyone follow me," she waved, beckoning them as she made her way towards the groundskeeper's hut.

Adam gave another shrug of the shoulders and cleared his throat.
"JB is special," Louisa nodded smirking back at him. It was the pet they chose together after all, she could use some credit there.
"Yes, spiders. It's not I'm scared of them, they just surprised me... and I didn't want them to crawl over to me." Under her shirt and over her hair, eeew! She shuddered. And there Adam went on about Little John like Hadley did, Louisa rolled her eyes, "Yeah, I'm aware that he doesn't mean to hurt my feelings or anything which is why I don't hate him." Nope, she really doesn't hate the boy... she just isn't a big fan either. "Well, the shirts they told us to wear were like tunic, he thought he looked like Robin Hood, which he didn't. And he had the illusion that every Robin Hood needed a Little John." SCOFF. "That was supposed to make me want to wear the filthy shirt. Didn't he know that calling a girl, Little John, is a big no-no?" Apparently not. With a low sigh, she forced a smile, "Anyways, it's nothing now. I'm getting used to his childish behavior."
The really weird thing was that Adam seemed quite... okay with it. He did sound sad but it was nothing compared to Ellie from last night. Maybe it was the fact that girls were usually more sensitive than boys? Yeah, that must be it. However, Louisa was fuming at that stupid girl to dump her best friend for such a senseless reason. "It's her loss, Adam. She's stupid to give away a person like yourself." The girl scooted closer and wrapped her hands around one of his arms, leaning a bit on him. She was just being a supportive friend.
Aaron sat back down again and ate some more of the crumbs. Even all smushed up they tasted goooood.
This boy Aaron had never seen him before seemed pretty shy. Aaron shrugged, maybe he just didn't like meeting new people as much as Aaron himself did.
So the boy, Gustav, was from Durmstrang. That explained why they'd never met before. 'Ooooh, coool.' He nodded excitedly, 'isn't that like... somewhere really cold?' It was, right? The other schools sounded interesting, but he adooooored Hogwarts too much. 'I'm a Sixth year. Just be glad you aren't a Fifth year.' Aaron said, remembering all the studying all too well.
Gustav nodded," Yes..it is very cold, especially during winter,your hands will be so numb, you have to cast a heating charm to help fend off the cold..."he told Aaron. He couldn't tell him where exactly Durmstrang was located, he was sworn to secrecy before he was transferred here. He picked his magazine from the ground, he would purchase his broomsticks some other time then. It would be rude to just leave.
He was two years older than him...he thought. "Oh...you mean the O.W.Ls...yes...The mere thought of it gives me what do you call it here...oh,goosebumps..."he said. Gustav joined Aaron not too far from him. He wondered what kind of person Aaron was.
"Then, you be taking N.E.W.Ts right...what do you want to do after that?"he asked.

"Yeah looking at it that way does seem better, Thanks but I have to get back to the common room now, bye Laura." Helga lifted herself from the duck pond and waited for Laura to reply.
Jez raised an eyebrow at Nate. She was finding it really hard to stay annoyed at him. In fact she'd found it very hard not to go over and give him a hug when he described his parents' deaths.

"If he thinks we're just going to lie low like a bunch of rats all summer," she muttered, kicking at a small rock which bounced into the pond, scaring a few ducks. That only made Jez feel worse.
Suddenly, when Nate saw how the ducklings scattered at Jez's kicked rock, he remembered something from the Headmaster's office that he had to tell. "Erm, Jez?" he started cautiously. She wasn't going to like this. "Tate said that he has to inform the Ministry that I'm an unsupported minor, and if no one can claim me then I'll go into foster care. I don't want to go into foster care! I think I have a plan, though..." he added. His idea was only that: an idea, but it ought to work if Kieran agreed...

Jordan looked up, "You didn't say anything about me did you?" he asked, "Theres no way I'm going into care," before reconsidering. "On second thoughts there is no way I'm going back to my house!" he shook his head, "Whats the plan?" he asked.

Jez nearly hit the roof again - well not really, more like hit the trees, since they weren't under a roof. "You what?!" she shrieked, panic and anger rising in her throat. This was why she hadn't wanted to go to the Headmaster in the first place! "No foster care," she declared through gritted teeth. "No orphanage, no Ministry, no anything remotely connected to these options. For any of us." Jez couldn't bear the thought of being separated from her siblings, not to mention her friends. "Please tell me you didn't mention us," she said, kneading the heel of her hand into her forehead. That would put her and Pam in the same position, and Jordan back to his house and his abusive family. Jez really didn't want to be the cause of that, because Jordan would possibly hate her forever. "And what's your idea? It better not have anything to do with setting off firecrackers in the Ministry." Although that would be pretty fun ...

He picked his magazine from the ground, he would purchase his broomsticks some other time then. It would be rude to just leave.
He was two years older than him...he thought. "Oh...you mean the O.W.Ls...yes...The mere thought of it gives me what do you call it here...oh,goosebumps..."he said. Gustav joined Aaron not too far from him. He wondered what kind of person Aaron was.
"Then, you be taking N.E.W.Ts right...what do you want to do after that?"he asked.
It was that cold?! Aaron gasped. He didn't even know how to produce a heating charm. Mittens would have to do for him. Yes, mittens. Cause they were like socks for your hands. And he had a couple of pretty awesome pairs with matching hats. Cool beans. 'So that's like... where Santa lives?' Whatever that place was called again. 'North pole, or something cold?' He nodded, must be.
Hogwarts got cold too, but probably not as cold as there, this was like almost the Caribbean compared to the North Pole.
'OWLs..' Aaron made a dirty face. He'd managed to get a grand total of 3 OWLs, miraculously failing Muggle Studies. And to consider that he waaas a Muggle-born. Still, who really cared about OWLs? It wasn't as if he wanted some job that involved writing boring things anyway. He could be just like Shay.
Gustav then mentioned the NEWTs next year, earning another dirty look from Aaron. 'I... don't even want to think about them yet. Too much to study.' Not going to happen.
He'd fallen asleep about 9 out of 10 times he'd gone to the library to study last summer, NEWTs could hardly be any different. 'Durmstrang.. they have the same subjects or no?' He'd heard they didn't accept Muggle-borns, but maybe that was just some lie, Gustav didn't seem to mind Aaron so far.

OOC: buh bye
Ella hugged Logan back as hard as she could. It was strange, she had never had a friend that was a boy before and yet she didn't feel out of place hugging him or telling him her secrets. I guess that's what it's like when you find your-really good friend. Ella laughed as she let go. "Sorry if I squeezed you too hard! It's these gigantic muscles!" She held up her puny noodle arms in a pose she'd seen body builders do.

Logan blushed slightly and laughed. "Gigantic?" he asked, flexing his arm. Meh. They were getting pretty big but not that big! He laughed at her posing. She really was cute.

Ella noticed Logan blushing and couldn't help but feel relieved. At least she wasn't the only one going pink when they were together! Ella dropped her arms to her sides and sighed. "Okay okay, I admit I have little spaghetti arms." She smiled as she wiggled her arms back and forth. "See? You've definitely got me beat in that department!" Putting her arms down once again she smiled. "I wouldn't want gigantic muscles anyway! I think I'd look quite ridiculous!"

Logan laughed and nodded. "I guess I do." he said grinning. Then he laughed again. "That would actually look real weird!" he said.

Ella smiled. "Yeah...so have you seen Minnie around lately? She's really nice isn't she? Great person to go to for advice." Ella thought back to her conversation with Minnie about Logan, she blushed a little and looked down at her feet.
