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.

Logan cocked his head. "What? Is there something wrong with tap dancing?" he asked,blushing slightly. He did get teased from time to time for his tap dancing but he liked it...

"No...."Cardigan said,shaking her head,even though you could tell she was faking.I mean,it was just,funny!Like,she just didn't get tap.It was basically just tapping your foot.What was the point?In case you're wondering,she'll NEVER tell the real reason she despises Tap...

Logan laughed. "Okay." he said. "SOOO....whatcha been up to lately?" he asked.

There was a lunar eclipse tonight, and Amelia wanted to observe it with her telescope. Since it was so dark outside, she was extra careful as she walked to the duckpond carrying her telescope in one hand and her lit wand in the other. She had her Astronomy notes in her bag slung over her back.

There were hardly any ducks in the pond tonight, and it was silent. She remembered learning about lunar eclipses a little last year. They had talked about how the eclipse was supposed to have a weird effect on some people; make them crazy. It supposedly had a greater effect on females than it did on males. Hopefully this wasn't true in her case. She didn't want to act crazier right now.

It was a little hard for her to set up her telescope when she had to hold her wand at the same time, but she managed to do it. Moving the assembled telescope to a flat bit of ground, she then adjusted the focus. She wanted to see this eclipse as best as possible.

Since there were no coordinated needed for this, she just stood behind the telescope gazing through the lens. She moved it up towards the night sky until she had the moon in her sights. She gazed at the eclipse for a little while.

It was amazing really how sometimes the moon would do this. It was always during the full moon. Always. And she had no idea why it happened. Maybe one day they would figure it out, and she wasn't sure she wanted that day to come. She kind of liked the mystery behind it all.

After watching the eclipse for a while, she packed her stuff up so that she could head back up to the castle. She would do a sketch of what she saw and write some noted on it once she was in her Common Room.

He heard the sound of a violin, and turned his head to see who he thought he'd see. Who else could play such a beautiful sound?! He started to run up to Cardigan, a smile spread across his face, when he paused and remembered the Whomping Willow. He stood there, looking at her as she played her violin. He bit his lip. "Do I dare go talk to her?" he thought in his head. She probably hated his guts right now. But he didn't hate her guts. He loved her...as a friend. And now he knew he had to talk to her. He sighed, and took in a deep breath before walking up to her. He cleared his throat, and looked down at the ground. "H-hi Car..." he said. He slowly lifted his head to look at her. "I have something to t-tell you." he said.

Alex had been quietly singing a song that she danced along too just as she spotted Logan. "Hey!" the third year called over to him.

Taryn took another cookie and snapped it into tiny pieces, tossing a few small ones in towards the ducks. "Phillis?" She tilted his head in Auggie's direction and then GIGGLED. "Okay, Phillis it is." SURE.

"What about that one?" She asked, pointing to another duck that was further away then the rest of them.

Probably something unimportant, but psh... Even though Gwen decided this wouldn't be some huge news or something intriguing, curiosity made her wish he'd just ask the question already. Really. She was way too curious to be able to keep calm.

Oh. More as a reflex, the third year bit her lip as she heard him say something like 'don't get offended'. Merlin's beard. That had to be something bad. Ughh. She stared blankly at the Hufflepuff, waiting anxiously for him to finish talking.

O_________________o

What was that?, Gwendolyn thought and laughed nervously. HOW in the world was she supposed to react to that?!?! Stand up and leave? Ignore the question? That was a bit too much to handle... Maybe simply answer a boring 'I don't know' and leave it like that. Actually- wait- was she really that cold? Anyway- did he say it on a friendly tone or.. not? Probably not. But she really couldn't tell. 'I- I--', she mumbled, still searching for something to say.

Maybe she could explain to him something with the DNA and stuff like that. Yes. That would be a solution. After all, it was all about that. How could she have chosen being nice or cold towards others? All this was CONFUSING. Very confusing.

Perhaps it was time to start giving an answer. 'Well...' Err. That sounded like a good start. Way to go. 'I... ummm... suppose--' dramatic pause 'genetics?' Ooooh- and for the 100th time it was proven that Gwen needed one of those muggle psychiatrists. 'Or maybe... I don't know!' Maybe it wasn't her fault. She somehow remembered that thing Ari wrote for her. Perhaps her bestie was right about it. 'I'll try being nicer if ou try being smarter'. That counded like Gwen. Actually naaah. It was definitely her fault.

Jory just stared at Gwen as she laughed somewhat nervously. He didn't say anything or even crack a smile. He wanted a serious answer. Honestly, Gwen was too young to be living so uptight. If she continued to be rude to others, chances are she's and up being alone later down in life.

As Gwen struggled for an answer, Jory wondered if she'd leave the question unanswered. But her eventual answer, made Jory stare at her even more.

"Genetics?'' he asked more than surprised. "I really don't think it has anything to do with that. It's your choice, isn't it?'' Jory paused before adding, ''You should start trusting up to people more. I'm not saying you should go around trusting everyone full.'' ''Before someone breaks it and you end up blaming me,'' he thought silently.

Gwen said genetics. "Did that mean her parents are or were also like that?'' Jory briefly wondered if there was anything he could do to help Gwen open up...

Now that August had finished the cookie that Taryn had allowed him to eat, he sort of wanted another one. He hadn't eaten a big lunch or anything but he understood she wanted to feed them to the ducks. They seemed to be liking them at least.

She liked the name Phillis? Good. "That one over there?" he said pointing at the same duck across the pond. "Maybe we can call it," yeah he wasn't sure if it was male or female, "Bernadette?" That was a decent duck name...considering they didn't know what their personalities were like.

"...Okay." HEHE. Whatever. Taryn giggled. The boy was seriously coming up with some interesting names. Maybe it was time to take a break from that.

She tossed a few more cookie pieces in and then scooted away from the edge of the water, stopping to sit beside him. "Can I ask you a question?" She offered another cookie.

Seriously. Jory looked at her totally weird. For a moment, Gwen thought she had something on her face, but then realized this was how NORMAL people were able to keep a straight face. Because see, she couldn’t. ‘Y-Yes?’, she shrugged, preparing for a little speech about genetics. ‘It HAS a lot to do about this. Because- -‘, she started saying as she tried to keep a straight face as well. ‘Genes can either be recessive or dominant… and it depends very much on what not only one’s parents… but ancestors have’ This was complex stuff. And then there are the odds… which ones were passed. ‘Genes hold information about… everything. Information for all the cells’ Pause. Take a deep breath. ‘And through these, genetic traits are passed to offspring’ She should stop reading that much about this topic.

Perhaps it was enough. Anyhow, Gwen started feeling that Jory tried to change her… or make her change… into a Hufflepuff. Oh, let’s face it- she couldn’t bare not making fun of anyone. ‘I am trusting people’ Not showing that she did so was another thing. ‘But… you can’t be nice to everyone’, she said with a nervous laughter. It would be IMPOSSSSIBLE!

To snap back with another argument or not? This is the question… Actually-you know what- ‘Maybe some people are nice, but simply don’t show it’ Dramatic pause. ‘Err… if that makes any sense’, she laughed as she shook her head. Naaah…

Hunter Pierce walked down towards the duck pond with his dear cousin, Hailey Morrison. He couldn't believe he had to wait for her for a whole 57 minutes. "8:58, though? Really? You should've sent someone to tell me you were running late." He hated doing things behind schedule. He always set a time for certain things to get done and that was when they would get done. He could've been eating while waiting for Hailey! To think, all of that food gone to waste. Hunter knew Hailey would have some kind of comeback but still, 8 was 8, not almost 9.

The closer they got to the duck pond, the less angry Hunter grew. He held Milton in his left arm, excited to watch him play with the other ducks. What a proud ~~father~~ pet owner Hunter was.

Pamphylia Barstow walked down to the duck pond, draging her bag behind her. She hadn't been down to the duck pond in, well, forever. She never really made a point to go down to it. She prefered the lake. But she had gone down there way too often, and wanted a change of senery. She wanted a new, friendly, face. She wanted someone to talk to, other then Jez and Nate. She wanted to tell someone about Jared, her parents, how they were being chased. But that would get someone else killed, and she really didn't need others added to the list. There were already too many people.

She sighed, took off her shoes, and dipped her feet into the water, hoping to talk to someone, anyone, who would listen.

Her arm securely in his, he thought over her proposal. "Yes, that sounds good. Can you lead the way?" Emrys wasn't entirely sure if he actually knew the way to the duck pond. He shifted the basket again, so that it wouldn't bang him in the hip as they walked.

The way to Duckie pond was even more beautiful than it was in the winter. Green and fresh grass everywhere. The garden and the vegetable pitch were visible from here too and for a moment Louisa thought they were outside school. She hadn't kept silent all this time, talking about her classes and study schedule for the day.. she subtly mentioned dedicating evening to be spent with him. She didn't want to sound so blatantly desperate, "I did a lot of studying this morning and afternoon in case I needed to take a break for the rest of the day." Louisa thought this was a good hint. Emrys was very smart and he should get it.

Once they were close enough, she let go of his arm and of Viola -the cat happily jogged away from them- and ran forward. "Tadaa! The duck pond." She turned around to face Emrys. "Is it really the first time you come here? You're depriving yourself from nature's beauty." The girl held on to her bag then and moved closer to the pond, they needed a good spot where duckies could come and play with them. "Where do you think we should settle on?"

Hailey yawned loudly as she walked side by side with Hunter and didn't bother covering her mouth. She hoped he felt bad for making her get up at 8AM! Think of all the sleep she lost...and all the dreams. Hmmph.

"You're lucky I even woke up, y'know!" She said in response. And how was she supposed to get someone to tell him she was going to be late when she herself was sleeping?! Merlin.

As they approached the pond, though, Hailey started getting excited. And then she noticed that Hunter had a DUCK in his hand. "HUNTER!" She screamed. "You can't take ducks out of the water, they'll die!" She said, not moving any more.

Hunter ignored Hailey's comment. SHE was the one was asked to go to the duck pond. It wasn't like he had never been here before. In fact, he managed to set aside at least one time a day to come down here and bring Milton to see all of his friends. He had thought about letting his duck live at the pond buuut...what if he got lost and then he would never see the poor thing again! He would never let that happen.

Just as they were about three feet away from the other ducks Hailey started freaking out because Milton wasn't in water. He continued walking though, even after she stopped. "I don't see how not walking is going to help Milton . The longer we take to get to the water the less of a chance he haaaas," Hunter said in a sing-song tone. The duck was fine, in all honesty. He wasn't sure who in the world told this girl ducks couldn't live out of water but he knew enough to know that Milton was doing just fine.

"Who in the world taught you anything about ducks? AND he is my duck, not the schools!"

He wasn't entirely sure what to make of it and was puzzling through it when he noticed she'd let go of his arm.

He laughed. "It is. Like I said, I've pretty much kept to places that people don't go. This seems like it must be a pretty popular place." He took a minute to look around, turning slowly as she moved away from him.

Thinking about her question, he scratched his chin. "Close enough to see the ducks clearly and enjoy the scene, but far enough that if they decide to come and steal our food, we have enough time to react." He walked to the pond's edge and turned, backtracking a few paces. After a moment's pause, he set the basket down and opened the lid, grabbing a blanket from the top layer.

"Here seems good, don't you think?" Emrys spread out the blanket and set the basket on its edge. "Great view, safe distance," he added, gesturing awkwardly to both the blanket and the surroundings.

Hailey couldn't see how he was still walking--his duck was going to die any minute now! The poor thing had such a short life...
And then Hunter mentioned how not walking wasn't going to help. Well.
"It doesn't matter who taught me, what matters is that YOU don't know anything about ducks!" And with that, Hailey ran up to meet him and then snatched Milton from Hunter's hands.

And then threw the duck in the pond. "LIVE, MILTON, LIIIIVE!"

Louisa watched Emrys measure the distance and nodded at the spot as soon as he put down the basket. "Perfect." She walked over to him and took her bag off her shoulder, placing it near the basket. They could eat the candy in the end of their picnic, after the food he brought.

Careful not to step with her shoes on his blanket, she sat down and stretched her legs to the ground. "So did you tell your mom about the quidditch match yesterday?" Louisa grinned at him. See? She remembered their conversation word by word, usually she wouldn't really pay attention to people's casual dialogue but that was with students with lower IQ.

"HAILEY ROSE! I cannot believe you just THREW my duck!!!" His mind was blank as he watched his poor Milton fly threw the sky. Hunter was so sure the duck wouldn't make it. That duck lived such a short life and he never even got to say goodbye!

Just as all hope was lost, he saw the duck land into the pond and, without a second thought, Hunter ran to the water and waited to see if the duck would swim back up. "Milton...." The longer it took the more anxious he grew and the more his stomach began to growl. If the duck didn't come back up he would stop eating. FOREVER.

He watched as all of the other ducks crowded around the pond, looking up at him expectantly. Since when were ducks so smart? And suddenly, a happy looking duck named Milton Pierce popped out of the water and swam around in circles. Hunter had never been happier.

As soon as she flung poor Milton, Hailey realized she had done something terribly wrong. And this feeling was reinforced by Hunter yelling at her. Oh dear.
She followed him to the pond and waited for the duck to emerge. Time ticked by...and still no duck. NOW she had done it! She had killed Hunter's duck! And to think, she was just about to accuse HIM of killing it!
Oh, the cruelty! Oh, the irony! She was going to Azkaban for this, she just knew it. There were going to be posters of her all over England, with the worlds DUCK KILLER in big ~~pink~~ letters. And people would send her hate mail and--

Just as she was about to cry, Milton popped out of the water and...started swimming. Hailey breathed the hugest sigh of relief and sat down. Okay, so she wasn't going to Azkaban. Thank Merlin!
But... She turned to Hunter--was he mad at her? GREAT. She hated it when people got mad at her. Now she was REALLY going to cry.

Trying to control her voice, she poked him on the shoulder.
"Hunter, I'm--I'm sorry." VERY, very sorry.

Emrys sat on the blanket, letting his feet hang over the edge and leaned back on his elbow. Turning to look at her, he laughed at her question. "There was an owl waiting for me when I got back asking how it went." His mother was nothing if not persistent. His cheeks flushed a little bit, realizing it must sound as if he let his mother baby him.

Sitting up, he aimed to change the subject - and avoid actually answering her question - he reached for the basket. First pulling out two empty mason jars, he slipped his wand from his pocket.

"Inferell," he muttered, flicking his wand toward the opening of each jar, filling them with flickering blue flame. Setting them on the grass just behind them, he smiled. "A bit of extra light, just in case we need it later."

Putting his wand away, he dug further into the basket, first pulling out two bottles of butterbeer and two bottles of pumpkin juice. "There really is a little bit of everything in here, so just pull out whatever seems interesting." He nodded toward the basket as he held out a butterbeer and a pumpkin juice for her to choose from.

"Are you really studying that much every day," he asked, truly curious. "I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not studying enough."

Oh, the cruelty! Oh, the irony! She was going to Azkaban for this, she just knew it. There were going to be posters of her all over England, with the worlds DUCK KILLER in big ~~pink~~ letters. And people would send her hate mail and--

Just as she was about to cry, Milton popped out of the water and...started swimming. Hailey breathed the hugest sigh of relief and sat down. Okay, so she wasn't going to Azkaban. Thank Merlin!
But... She turned to Hunter--was he mad at her? GREAT. She hated it when people got mad at her. Now she was REALLY going to cry.

Trying to control her voice, she poked him on the shoulder.
"Hunter, I'm--I'm sorry." VERY, very sorry.

Hunter slowly picked up Milton and placed him onto his lap, not caring that his clothes were getting wet and muddy. He looked down at the duck and pet him, while the other ducks went back to playing in the water. Who in the world knew that having a duck would cause so much commotion?

Once the words left Hailey's mouth, though, Hunter's heart sunk. He knew she didn't do it to try and kill the duck. And he also knew that she knew nothing about ducks. How could she? He didn't know very much until he researched. Placing Milton back into the pond, Hunter reached into his bag and pulled out a book. "Before you throw another duck, I advise reading this." He looked up at her and half-smiled and then turned to look and make sure the ducks were still doing okay.

Hailey accepted the book, slightly raising her eyebrows as she did so. A book. Really? And he knew she didn't really read. Oh well.
She held it in her hand and nodded her head. "Okay, I promise I'll read it," She said, though she knew it was probably going to end up under her bed or something. Hopefully he wouldn't need it back!

Now that everything had calmed down, she actually started enjoying the duck pond. They were all swimming happily--too bad the pond wasn't big enough for her.
"So...nice pond."

Hunter smirked when she said she'd read it. He knew very well that she wouldn't read it all but he hoped she'd at least read a few pages to get the gist of it all. He leaned back on the grass and tried to figure out what to say next. He knew what he had to tell her, it was time. But he wasn't sure what words to use. Should he be nice about it or just blurt it out? For all he knew they would end up going out and then Mikey would never be out of his life. What a nightmare that would be.

"Uh...yeah...definitely." He could feel tension in the air but he wasn't sure if that was because of what just happened or if it was because of what was going to be said. So, in the end, he just...~~yelled~~ SAID IT. "MICHAEL EVANS IS IN LOVE WITH YOU!!"
