Grayson jumped when she poked him in a very ticklish spot in his ribs."Hey. Watch those fingers. I may have to retaliate."he said hoping she would take his bluff.

"I said it's ok. I'll respect your space. Maybe some other time. So, what are you doing this weekend other than homework and studying?" he asked as he tried to change the subject for now. Grayson retreated only to think of a new approach, never to back down.

When she saw that he jumped at her poke, Selina's face lit up in a grin. So he was ticklish was he? Selina herself was ticklish, but she always delighted in seeing other people jump under an attack of tickles. It made her smile because she was usually the ticklee, not the tickler. But it seemed that he wanted to tickle her back if she did it again and being as ticklish as she was she did not want to chance the panic attack. Throwing her hands up in defeat she replied, "No thank you. I won't do it again, promise."

When he seemed to drop the subject Selina was pleasantly surprised. This was a Grayson that she liked. He was being sweet and considerate and not pushing her at all to do something when she expressed her concern about it. With a small smile she replied, "Well I'm just hanging out and I'll go flying for sure. Why? What about you?"

He could see intent in her blue eyes but she backed down. He looked at her with a smirk and asked,"Are you ticklish too?"

Grayson nodded as he let his gaze slide around the garden."I'm going to workout and get some work done; other than that nothing much, sleep maybe. I do that when all else fails." he replied as he lazily looked back at her.

When he asked if she was ticklish her hands automatically flew down to protect her sides from an attack. With wide eyes she replied, "Yes I am... but don't you dare tickle me. Seriously, I don't like it." It was Selina's weakest point in her figurative armor. Whenever someone tickled her she buckled over in laughter... it was not a pretty sight.

What they were doing for the weekend was the new topic of conversation. Grayson seemed to have some concrete plans on what he was going to do for the weekend, some of which included working out. Selina didn't really ever do that. She played Quidditch so often that she never needed to hence her super athletic build or boysih build as Violet and Elektra always teased her. Her head nodded at his plans and she offered up, "Well maybe if you aren't too busy you can come down to the Pitch with me for a fly or something." It was a friendly enough offer.

"I'm not going to as long you don't sneak up behind me and poke me. I make a funny sound." he said, with a small, shy smile."But I don't believe you don't like, it makes you laugh. "

Wow, she actually invited him to do something with her. This from the girl who constantly held him at arms length and chastised him when he was himself at times."Umm...sure. Is Giddy ok with this?" he replied, teasing her. Yeah, Grayson would always be Grayson.

Selina chuckled at his response and said, "Alright promise I won't poke your sides. Its a deal." Then she left it at that and turned the conversation into the weekend plans.

Everything was all fine and dandy when he suddenly questioned if Giddy would be alright with the two of them hanging out. She cringed a little when he used that nickname. She knew that Gideon hated that nickname and hearing someone say it made her skin crawl a little. Swallowing her tongue she said to him, "Well I'm sure that Gideon would be fine with the two of us hanging out. After all we are only friends. Why would he have a problem, Grayson?"" Gideon was very cool with her hanging out with her guy friends and now that Grayson cut out all of the flirting she was certain that Gideon would have no problem with them hanging out.

Grayson saw an uncomfortable look play across her face. He knew the nickname got under Gideon's skin but he didn't know it affected her too."Ok. I was just checking. I know he really doesn't like me. I don't know why Gideon would have a problem. You should ask him."

he chuckled and said,"You can tell me if I've offended you. i just want you to lose that spunk that caught my attention."

"Well, I guess I could show you from up in the air. Kill two birds with one stone right?" he remarked after a bit of thought.

Selina tilted her head to look at Grayson when he talked further about Gideon's nickname. It was not that it personally offended Selina, but she could tell that Grayson had dropped the nickname in a way to sort of poke fun at Gideon. Honestly, the fourth year did not understand all of the animosity between the two boys. The pair of them could not help themselves, but Gideon was not even here. What was Grayson trying to prove by poking fun at Gideon when the boy was not even with the pair of them at the present moment.

So to avoid going off on a lecture about the pair of boys getting over what issues they had and just getting along, Selina dropped the subject, "I'm not going to ask Gideon. I won't be the messenger. If you want to talk to him, you can do it yourself."

Then when he talked about showing her what he had previously mentioned on the broomsticks the redhead nodded, "Sounds like a plan, Bay. You have yourself a deal. So Saturday then?"

Vickers moved out towards the grounds, carrying a few more thimbles with him, a fresh set of flowers clumped in his hand. Hendrix has stayed relatively quiet since her surprise bath, barely peeking out of his robes as he walked. When he found a suitable spot for transfiguring he set the clumped flowers aside and fished out a thimble from his robes…

Hendrix could feel the Wizard as stopped walking. When she peeked out from his pocket the first thing she saw were those flowers sitting innocently aside. But they werent just any ordinary flowers-- they were PURPLE flowers. Purple like her! She leapt out of the Ravenclaw’s robes and landed softly amongst the stems. She looked up at the Wizard. Eh, he was busy with them shiny things that leaks water when it gets bigger. He can have that, Hendrix will have purple flowers!

Vickers set a thimble down, concentrating for a moment at the new creation he wanted to have. He wanted it unique, maybe something that wasn’t obviously a vase. After a deep breath he did the wand stroke and uttered “Floreneo!” The thimble twirled in its place a few times until it turned into a vase that looked like a stack of live stones.

Hmm yes, very much like something found in nature, which would look rather well with the flowers he’s picked up. He turned to where he left the flowers and yelped. The whole clump is GONE save for one stalk “Hendrix stop eating that!”

Hendrix was nice and contented with pretty purply flowers. They smell good but taste even better. She was just about to finish it all up when the Wizard yelled at her again. What? Arent the flowers for her? It has to be-- because they are PURPLE. Not BLUE you tricksies Wizard.

Vickers yanked the last flower away before there is nothing left for him to place in the vase. He took the vase and set the lonely stalk into it, then grabbed the purple furry troublemaker, glaring at her. “I should try to make you regurgitate all those flowers you ate.” he grumbled as he shoved her back into his pocket.

Elliot the pygmy puff was sitting chirping on her shoulder as she made her way down to the Terrence.

Glenn was going to meet some friends here and maybe talk to some new people. She didn't know. Just anywhere away from homework and work. Although that kind of defeated the purpose doing the pygmy puff diary here. That wasn't really numbers and figures anyway.

Her hair was straightened and hung over her shoulder today. Not as frizzy as her normal curls were.

Sigh.

The little badger collapsed onto the shade by a tree and lay there; listening to her pygmy puff squeak and hop around on her stomach.

Nickayla was running down to the Terrence when she ran into someone Bang " oh my god, I am so so Sorry." nicki begged as she helped the poor girl up. " again i am so so sorry." Nicki said she felt awful she had never done anythink like this before.

" are you okay. i am so sorry." Nickayla said apoligizing over and over again.

Sophie was skipping around the castle, telling her Pygmy Puff Lavender everything she knew about Hogwarts. She had grown to like Lavender so much she would probably have a hard time returning her to Professor Williamson.

While talking about plants and whatnot - Lavender did seem to love flowers - Sophie saw someone running into someone else. That someone else was Glenn! "Hey, Glenn!" Sophie said happily, not rushing to help her friend because she noticed the other girl was already doing that. She then looked at the other girl, who she didn't know. "Hello, you! I'm Sophie!"

Glenn was standing around the Terrace when...

WHAM!

She fell backwards onto the grass. Ouchy. She rubbed he head and saw a first year standing over her, "It's okay!" Glenn said, laughing. She must have looked funny falling over, "You're okay though, right?" You'd think the little first year would get more hurt than she would, being a year older.

She accepted the girl's hand and got up, looking over her shoulder she saw Sophie as well. "Hey!" Glenn grinned and swept the grass from her skirt. "How're you?" She asked Sophie then turned to the first year, "I'm Glenn, second year Hufflepuff."

Nickayla hardly ever gets hurt she was use to it "I am fine." nicki said with a grin then started to laugh when she thought about it it was pritty funnny "Pleasure, I am Nickayla Ravenclaw's frist year." nicki said she now was slitly intimateiadated that she was one year older.

"I'm good, thanks! You?" Sophie smiled at Glenn. Looking at the Ravenclaw girl, she waved her hand. "Oh, I'm a first year, too!"

" Pleasure, again i am nicki sorry i didn't catch your's." Nicki said with a grin she was glad she had met another first year she only had 3 first year friends all the rest were second or third or even fith.

"I'm Sophie!" She answered smiling at Nicki. "Pleasure to meet you too, Nicki!" She had never seen her around before, but that wasn't a problem. Sophie loved making new friends!

Sophie looked from Nicki to Glenn. "So what are you up to?"

nicki laughed as she spoke " Just repeating saying sorry to glenn." nicki couldnt help but laugh. " i love your pygmy puff's whats there names.
" Nicki said admirering the creatures.

Glenn nodded, "Nickayla."

At the Ravie's next question Glenn glanced at her pygmy puff that was making little angry squeaks near her feet, Glenn bent over and scooped the purple pygmy puff up and replaced her on her shoulder, "Her name's Elliot." She said as her pygmy puff made a shrill sort of shriek and Glenn hushed her.

" hello elliot, i am sorry." Nicki said glacing at the pygmy puff nicki said to laugh.

Sophie looked at Elliot as Glenn introduced her. Frown. "I thought Elliot was a boy's name!" Anyhow... "This here is Lavender!" She said gesturing with her head towards her left shoulder. "Do you have one of your own, Nicki?"

"Well..." Glenn started, "I thought Elliot at first was a boy but it turns out she is a girl..." She grinned and let Elliot hop onto her hand. "Would you like to hold her Nickayla?"

"Hello lavender" nicki said and then looked at sophie " Sadly no." Nicki said with a slit giggle.

" Um elliot, is a girls name to i have a firend called elliot bck at my old school." nicki said "Yes please i would love to hold her if she doesn't bit when i was younger a dog bit me on the hand." Nicki said looking at her hand.
