Two statues stand out on the fifth floor: Boris the Bewildered and Gregory the Smarmy. Beside Gregory the Smarmy is a roped off section of swamp, left in honor of the famous Weasley twins: Fred and George, founders of the joke shop chain, Weasley Wizard Wheezes.

Moving on.
Oh. She didn't mind him there. He was visibly relieved. He smiled back warmly as well. He wasn't shooed away this time. Someone had accepted him at last--or things were going pretty well at least. And he wasn't going to screw up this time. He just wasn't.
He smiled understandingly. "I'm glad you're out--I mean--you're--it's nice to meet you." He chuckled easily as he blushed a little at his idiocy. This was the kind of... ease he had longed for so long. It was a marvel he had found it again, after one year of despair. It was quite interesting that he found it when he had stopped looking for it.
He couldn't stop the words as he told the whole story in a quick summary.
"I returned to Brazil, my homeland. Things weren't... that great here, and my mum wanted me for her--" They did get out alright, but he wasn't opening that much, no matter how innocent and trustworthy she looked. "--I mean, she wanted me there. After ten years." He looked lost in serious thought for a moment before he shrugged it off and managed to smile at her.
"Have you ever been to Brazil?" he asked to lighten the mood.
Delilah giggled as João seemed to struggle to find the right words to say. Her giggles soon reduced themselves to a grin, "You too." It was nice that she'd met him properly. He seemed to be actually enjoying her company (and she was doing well at keeping the 'weird' at bay... which was probably helping), so maybe, just maybe, that'd mean that she'd have someone else to hang around with... Just maybe. She didn't want to go getting her hopes up too soon.
She twisted herself to face Joao properly as he began to tell her about why he'd gone. She watched his face intently. He was Brazilian? Delilah never was good at deciphering someone's accent... The girl didn't really pick up on Joao's self-correction. "Ten whole years?" Delilah nearly couldn't believe it. What possible reason could there be to keep a mother away from her son for ten WHOLE years?! She couldn't imagine what her short life would have been like without her mum there. "Wow..." Pause. "What happened? ... To make you come back to Hogwarts this year, I mean?"
"No... Furthest I've ever gone is to Ireland." The blame for that lay on her parents. "My own homeland." She added, with a small smile. "Though... I think Hogwarts is further away from my house than Ireland is..." But that didn't count, because Hogwarts was her home most of the time...

That had not been what she had been implying really, just that he didn't HAVE to give her a nickname. "Nicknames...are still sort of new to me," she replied as she idly shuffled her feet. Besides Selina, no one had really come up with a constant nickname. Salander and Josh called her Pretty Prefect Princess or Cookie Princess or some variation of the two, and Lexi called her kiddo, but those were sort of the only exceptions. Kurumi sort of liked people saying her name just as it was.
"I need to start studying for those as well," she said sort of just thinking out loud and not really directing her words to Paulie exactly. Paulie's sarcasm? Yeah, it went right over her head since Kurumi still wasn't the best at being able to read that sort of thing. "I am sure they will be!" Lovely that is.
Kurumi had sort of just been watching Paulie make his way around the statue, quietly observing him and still wondering if perhaps he had gone a little crazy and spent his time conversing with statues. He certainly seemed to be very intrigued obsessed? with Boris. When he spoke again, Kurumi bit down on her lip rather hard, trying to figure out how best to approach THIS conversation. It still hurt, thinking about how things had happened, and even though Lewis made her happy and was healing her broken heart, it was still that: broken. "Because....I tried to tell him that he shouldn't..."
Here we go again...
Paulie merely gave her a small smile and nodded. Okay, so it's not like she hated the nicknames; she simply wasn't accustomed to them yet. As he'd suspected.
.....
SHE needed to start studying for NEWTs? Paulie gave her an 'Are you serious?' look, followed by one of exasperation when she exclaimed that the tests WOULD honestly be 'lovely.' Oh, no. Hah. NOOO, they wouldn't be. "Kurumi," he began. "You are a crazy girl." Very, very crazy. "Just make sure ya make sixth year a good year for non-school stuff too, ya know?" Now was the time to really take advantage of that because he could only imagine how stressed she'd be NEXT year. What with NEWTs and classes and Head Girl (most likely) and friends and Lewis. It was tough to balance it all out!
Now, Paulie was curious to hear her answer to his final question. He waited as she chewed on her lip and drew out the silence. And she answered that.... it was because she told Lewis that he shouldn't want to be with her. He smiled over at Kurumi a little bit. "If anything, that probably made him want you more."
Delilah giggled as João seemed to struggle to find the right words to say. Her giggles soon reduced themselves to a grin, "You too." It was nice that she'd met him properly. He seemed to be actually enjoying her company (and she was doing well at keeping the 'weird' at bay... which was probably helping), so maybe, just maybe, that'd mean that she'd have someone else to hang around with... Just maybe. She didn't want to go getting her hopes up too soon.

João grinned back when she returned the compliment. He usually thought it was stupid to say Glad to meet you to someone he'd just met, but he knew this time he really was glad to had met her. He hoped they would get closer, because he wanted to remember at least someone good here and she seemed to be the one so far.
He nodded, though there was no pain whatsoever on his face. If anything, he looked thoughtful as if he was hearing the outcome of a scientific experiment. Ten whole years just made him numb to his mother and their relationship. He shrugged as if to say it was okay. He didn't care after to many years, honestly. If he was getting a good deal out of it too, he liked her.
"She decided it would be better to keep me out of--" elections campaign so people wouldn't ask her where his son was, while he attended a boarding wizarding school, "--out of... things going on there. My father lives in London anyway." Being the Muggle ambassador. She didn't need to know he was a muggleborn, though, even if he knew right away she wouldn't care at all. This much of information was enough for the first meeting.
He smiled at Ireland too. "Lovely place, Dublin," he said with a nod. He had been there for 4 days when they had first moved here. Not that he was keen on the weather, but he didn't want to be that honest with her. How could he tell he didn't like her homeland's weather, anyway?
"Where do you live now, then?" London too, perhaps?

"Oh... I see." Delilah frowned a little. Joao was correcting himself a lot, which made her want to know why he was correcting himself... But obviously he was doing it for a reason. Maybe he was embarrassed by the reason? Or perhaps... perhaps he didn't trust her with his real reasons. They were practically strangers, after all. The girl desperately wanted to say something, and maybe her face showed that, but she chose to stay quiet - mostly because she wasn't sure WHAT to say...
She smiled and nodded, "Aye, it is..." She liked it more in Ireland than at home. The muggle kids weren't quite so harsh. They didn't think she was that weird.
"I live in Hogwarts." Delilah commented, as if it were obvious. It only took a few moments for her mind to register what Joao really meant. " ... Oh. Right. Cheadle. That's where my parents are. They live in Cheadle."
Delilah was quiet for a while, fiddling with the ends of her hair. When she remembered what she wanted to ask, the girl looked up at him; eyes full of curiosity. "Joao...?" Eh. Still not quiet right. She'd get there with the pronunciation. "You know earlier, in Transfiguration? -- Your Patronus..." Her cheeks were a little bit pink. "... It was... amazing..."

She'd get there with the pronunciation. "You know earlier, in Transfiguration? -- Your Patronus..." Her cheeks were a little bit pink. "... It was... amazing..."
João was immensely relieved when she didn't ask further questions. His problem was, he either lied completely to a person or he was completely honest, and Delilah was in the second category already. He would hate to decline to answer any of her questions, so it was better she didn't ask it in the first place. He smiled at her, wondering if she would understand his grateful smile.
He chuckled at 'aye'. "I guess I can never say 'aye' that... cutely," he said without even thinking it. If he had thought it over, he would have realised she could take it as flirting, which wasn't his intention for the first time in his life. He hoped she wouldn't be offended. He didn't want her to leave too.
Cheadle? He looked lost. "That's the first time I hear there." Not that he knew everywhere in Britain, but still he should have at least heard. He was eyeing the swamp in front of them as he repeated the name Cheadle when he heard a try of pronouncing his hard name. He smiled again as he looked directly into her eyes, waiting for what she got to say.
Oh. That. His smile got on a bit embarrassed side as he was silent for a moment, considering how he should answer.
"Thank you, Delilah," he said softly, eyes glinting excitedly. He was pretty proud with it, actually, because that was the second time since summer that he managed a full patronus at the first try.
"I can teach you if you want to." And he meant it in a very friendly way, not in the least trying to boast. He didn't have to impress her being Neves, he just wanted to be João.
Slipping up to the 5th floor, he thought the statues would be a nice place to do his herbology assignment they'd been given. Peering around he had his box in one hand as he waited to see if anyone would appear. He had a pretty good idea of what he was going to do to make the sign. He just needed a spot to do it! Stepping around the corner nearest the statues, Isaac looked around and then dove behind one of the statues as he heard voices.
He needed to wait til all was quiet...hopefully it would be soon!

SHE needed to start studying for NEWTs? Paulie gave her an 'Are you serious?' look, followed by one of exasperation when she exclaimed that the tests WOULD honestly be 'lovely.' Oh, no. Hah. NOOO, they wouldn't be. "Kurumi," he began. "You are a crazy girl." Very, very crazy. "Just make sure ya make sixth year a good year for non-school stuff too, ya know?" Now was the time to really take advantage of that because he could only imagine how stressed she'd be NEXT year. What with NEWTs and classes and Head Girl (most likely) and friends and Lewis.

Crazy? Kurumi found herself blinking at Paulie again, this time mostly out of shock. She had been called many things before, but crazy was new. Still, Kurumi giggled, mostly because Paulie's face was making her do so, and shook her head. "That's....that's why I gave up Quidditch last term, so I could have more balance," she explained. Well, that...and Kurumi was now mildly petrified of flying and of brooms in general. She was only ever in Flying lessons because Selina would beat her senseless if she wasn't. "But, I promise I will." Once...things settled down a bit more that is. There was an awfully lot on the Gryffindor's mind and it wasn't all about things happening in school.
What Paulie said next caused the color in Kurumi's cheeks to rise even MORE. That probably made him want you more. It was the use of want with out the to be with you that caught the sixth year's attention and she wasn't sure if Paulie had done so intentionally or not. Still, Kurumi had a hard time believing that her pushing Lewis away - like she had done for two months - had made him want her more. Shouldn't it have done the opposite? Unless...
The more Kurumi thought about this the more she blushed and chewed on her lip nervously. "You...you really think so?" she asked innocently. Paulie seemed to have things figured out, which he should, being a guy and all.

Aah. Well, giving up quidditch sounded like a wise choice, even if it was probably a tough one. Something's gotta give, right? Paulie hadn't realized that Kurumi was also talented on a broom, though. Huh. This girl was full of surprises. She then promised him, and he had no doubt she'd stay true to it. "Good," Paulie nodded.
Just when he thought the prefect couldn't blush any deeper, she would go on and prove him wrong! Like now, for instance. 'You really think so?' He gave a small, knowing chuckle and nodded. "Yeah. I know so." Seventeen years of first-hand experience! Perhaps some guys might deny it, but it was true. After all, didn't the most famous, passionate couples endure SOME sort of challenge?
He leaned back on the statue a bit more and pushed his hand through his hair. Oh, Paulie was just so knowledgeable! Couldn't he get some high-paying job as an advice-giver or communications sensei?

Ah, if only Paulie knew how easy the decision had been. The only thing that had made it hard was seeing the look on her best friend's face. She hated disappointing Selina, and that is who she felt that she had let down the most. She served the team better with pre-match cookies and cheering in the stands than she did as a Seeker, in her personal opinion anyway.
When Paulie responded to her question, she felt her heart skip a beat and and chewed on her lip nervously. It was a combination of the confidence in his voice and the actual words that he had used were causing her body temperature to rise slightly and her continued chewing on her lip. HOW did he know that? Completely forgetting the thoughts she had had earlier, she asked him naively, "Did...did Lewis tell you that?" It was sort of a weighted question, one that Kurumi actually wasn't entirely sure she was ready to know the answer to that.

"I can teach you if you want to." And he meant it in a very friendly way, not in the least trying to boast. He didn't have to impress her being Neves, he just wanted to be João.
Delilah tilted her head to the side. She'd said it cutely? ... But that was just how she said 'aye'. The younger Slytherin just grinned.
"Really?" She'd assumed that EVERYONE knew of Cheadle. "Well... It's near Manchester. Do you know where that is?" Delilah frowned, trying to think of how to describe where she lived. "There's lots of fields in cheadle... and farms. It's quite agricultural. But the towns look like normal towns. They don't look like countryside villages." Realising the Joao probably didn't care about Cheadle at all, the girl stopped her rambling; glancing down at her knees.
He would teach her how to conjure a patronus?? Delilah's eyes widened, full of suprise and hope. "Really?! You'd really teach me how to?!" She nearly hugged him. Then, her smile faltered; her eyes more sullen. "I'm not very good, though. I couldn't even conjure flowers in class." If she couldn't even do that, then how would she possibly be able to create something as impressive and advanced as a Patronus?

At least she grinned easily. Phew. He'd learnt his lesson though, no speaking before thinking it over.
At Manchester, he nodded. It was right next to Liverpool. Both had fantastic football teams. Not that he had any chance to watch them over here, but he knew.
And just then, João realised that Cheadle was actually a city.
His face lit up a little in wonder as he started to imagine the life there. "So, although you're magical, do you own a farm?" He wanted to KNOW, because such a life was so distant to him that he sometimes forgot that majority of the people made a living like that. Odd... he wouldn't want such a life. It must get boring after a while... though he was curious now.
He chuckled at the reaction he got. "I will, yes," he corrected her in a way. He certainly would. He didn't lose his enthusiasm though, unlike her. He simply shrugged.
"If you want, we can start from that level... I don't really have many things to do, so don't worry about my time." He only had to study during the day... and that got boring after a while. He needed a change.

Delilah laughed and shook her head. "No way. My grandparents do, though." She didn't like it at her Grandparents farm; it was the reason for her vegetarianism. "We live near the middle of town."
She smiled at his correction. He was going to teach her. This was fantastic; far more than Delilah could have imagined.
"OH... wow. Well, are you sure? Don't you have NEWTs this year? ... I shouldn't really distract you away from those... They're kind of important..." Delilah didn't realise that she was debating with herself aloud. Looking up at the boy, she frowned. His education was important too! "Are you really sure?" She really, really wanted to let him help her with Transfiguration, but at the same time she didn't, because of his own studies.
Life would probably be easier if she didn't have a near-constant sense of guilt about EVERYTHING people offered to do...

No way? She didn't like such a life? João grinned. Sure she didn't. It wasn't a fun life anyway. But he could understand why old people chose to live like that. Peaceful and such.
"Is there anything to see?" In Cheadle, that is. Even the name was kind of... odd. Not that he thought he would ever get the chance, but it was good to know.
"I have, but..." He didn't want to sound arrogant to her. She looked like too fragile to handle his arrogancy. Instead, he changed his mind about what he was going to say.
"I'll be studying them with you. You have OWLs, and we both have to do practical exams as well. So I am sure." He smiled. How did that sound? Much better, certainly.

"Is there anything to see?" In Cheadle, that is. Even the name was kind of... odd. Not that he thought he would ever get the chance, but it was good to know.
"I have, but..." He didn't want to sound arrogant to her. She looked like too fragile to handle his arrogancy. Instead, he changed his mind about what he was going to say.
"I'll be studying them with you. You have OWLs, and we both have to do practical exams as well. So I am sure." He smiled. How did that sound? Much better, certainly.
Delilah shrugged, "Not really... The farms are on hills, so they look pretty as the seasons change... but other than that... There's not much to see."
She studied him curiously; smiling as he said he'd work with her. "Well... that's true." It eased her mind a little bit. Helping her with her transfiguration would be good practice for his NEWTs, right? After a moment, Delilah grinned. The idea didn't make her feel so bad, now. She might even manage to do well in her own Transfiguration NEWT. "Well, that's good. Brilliant, even!" Pause. "Thanks... For saying you'll help. I appreciate it, really."
How long had they been here for, now? A good hour, at least. "I'm going to have to go, soon... I promised to meet my friends..." She didn't really want to go anywhere just yet, though...

Well, then. João shrugged as well. He'd seen the Amazons and that was a life-time experience anyway.
He grinned at her brightly. "It'll be a practice for me too." It would be the first time he would really help someone. Like, really help someone as he wanted to.
"Sure," he said easily. What he was going to do before they started talking? Right, he didn't have anything particular. Getting up nevertheless before her, he offered his hand. Because that was what a gentleman would do.

Delilah nodded, content now; knowing that she wouldn't really be disturbing HIS studies. "That's very true!"
She went to push herself up, only to find that Joao was already on his feet, offering her his hand. Smiling, she took it and pulled herself to her feet - grinning a little brighter once they were stood up. She ignored the light headed feeling she was having from standing up too quickly (and also possibly because of the swamp. Who knew what a 70 something year old swamp contained...) "Thanks..."
"I'm going to be heading outside... Which way are you going, now?" It was polite to ask this, right? Instead of just running off? Delilah was sure that was the case, anyway.

João simply said "Welcome," in a suave voice with a smile. Where was he going? He didn't have a specific place, really, so...
"Library." That was an enjoyable place to go for him, although he figured it looked sad compared to going outside. So they were to be together for another floor before departing.
"I'm really glad to have met you, Delilah," he said openly and honestly as they started heading towards the stairs. She was one of the few people he'd said that that honestly.
Violet skipped along the corridor until she came to the Weasley twins' swamp on the fifth floor. They were her and Lilly's role-models. For life. And beyond. She gazed into the mess with an admiring grin. She would have to leave her mark on Hogwarts too. If Lilly would help. If she wasn't angry at her twin. Which she probably was.
Then she stood up straight and went towards the statue of Boris the Bewildered. He might be fun to draw. So Violet straightened her dress and pulled a sketchpad from her messenger back which was dangling on her shoulder before sitting down and beginning to sketch carefully but quickly. She sort of lost herself in the drawing and let the pencil take her away.
When it was done, Violet put the sketchpad back in her bag, stood up and began to study the statue carefully. Intresting. Must be some sort of history behind that. Nevertheless, she pulled a from her pocket and began to poke him. She didn't care if it wasn't lady/Hufflepuff-like, and it really wasn't that rude except to the poor statue.
But he could get over it.

Theodore awkwardly made his way back to the common room. He had left earlier this morning, after brushing his hair into a hair style. That's right. With all the hair whipping-talk going on in his life lately, Theo felt as if he needed to make an extra effort. To fully distract the girls.
And DANG, he looked good.
But coupled with that, came extreme paranoia. Theodore did not like change.
So, he awkwardly scurried along, opening doors here and there when he got lost. EVERYTHING WAS AWKWARD. To calm himself, the first year pulled out a chocolate frog and caught it in his mouth as it jumped from the box. OH YEA, that was skill right there.
Where was he now? Oh, those statues looked odd.
Theo watched them for a moment, patting his hair some more as he did so.

Okaaay, so Kaitlyn had definitely NOT got the hang of this yet, where on earth was she going? Maybe if she just kept on walking she'd find somewhere that looked familiar, she doubted it.
Why, why, whyyy did she have to be a first year, so stupid. Why couldn't she skip to fourth or something, she'd know where she was going then! She walked around for agessssss, but couldn't find where she was trying to get to.
She started walking backwards, looking for anything she recognised, then BAM! She crashed into something and fell to the floor..it seemed she'd hurt her head, because when she lifted her hand to her head she found blood.
She leant back down, shutting her eyes, she felt a little woozy!

Ooooookay... after realizing that these statues were boring as hell, Theodore turned on his heel to leave but KERBLAM. There was a PERSON in his way.
The boy went flying backwards, but the fact that his hair was full of product, it had actually seemed to cushion his head.
BACK to the point. HOW DARE SOMEONE PUSH HIM OVER.
He hadn't harmed anyone. Standing there, all awkward-like. WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
He scrambled to his feet and stomped his foot on the ground. He looked down on the person who was lying the opposite way. It was a girl, egh. And she seemed to be... kinda dead. Theodore allowed that to process...
...
Any minute now.
SHE WAS DEAD, OMG.
BLOOD, THE BLOOD. "OHHH, MERLIN. ARE YOU DEAD?" He bent down next to her and slapped her across the face. That always worked, didn't it? A good SLAP in the face. o________O

Kat seemed to float violently in and out of consciousness for a few seconds and then *SLAP* her head flew up and she jumped up and took a step back, her eyes wide with terror.
"What did you do that for?" She gasped and coughed. "Ouch," she exhaled and clutched her wounded head. It was throbbing and it hurt.
Luckily, some abnormality in her family, allowed her to heal 10 times faster than most people and her head was already healing. Though it still hurt a lot! She looked up at the boy again, he looked angry, shocked, but she couldn't tell if he was worried at all.
She wasn't exactly sure what to say, so with an eye brow raised, she said, "Sorry," and gave a minute shrug.

He waited... and waited... and waited...

If she didn't wake up, she'd get another slap. Simple as that. And after two slaps, he would THEN go flailing about for help. As well as possibly have an emotional breakdown.
BUT OHTHANKMERLIN, she woke up.
"Yooooou're alive!" YAY, living was good! "I just saved your life. A little praise would be nice." You know, a reward would be even nicer. A gold star, or a chocolate frog. IT WAS UP TO HER.
"It's okay!" He beamed. And he was FINE after the collision, thanks for asking.
"My name's THEODORE." He emphasized his name, cos his name was Theodore and most certainly not THEO. "What's yours?" Just in case he needed to claim insurance off her.

"Yes, I'm alive..I think!" She sighed. He was asking for praise? He had knocked her to the floor, it didn't look like he was hurt in any way. "Okay, thanks for slapping me," she said with a grin, "have a hi-five." She held up her hand.
She laughed, he had a kind of cute smile. "I like your name Theodore! Mine's Kaitlyn, but my *cough* non existent friends *cough* call me Kat. Meow!" She said and grinned at Theodore, so far at Hogwarts she hadn't really made any friends, hopefully that would change soon!

>______< Thanks for slapping me. She made it sound like he did a bad thing. But it woke her up, did it not? "And saving your life." He added onto the end, and hi-fived her VERY gently. One, because he didn't like touching girls. And two, he didn't want to knock her over again. Cos like... he was so strong, and all.
*mellow*
Thisgirlwasweird.
"Thankssssss." It is Theodore, not Theo. He just felt that he had to make this absolutely sure whenever he met new people. The friends he had already were lost causes. Even Sophie had converted now. "Hi... Kat. Nice to meet chu" He wanted to call her Kaitlyn.
o_______________O DID SHE JUST MEOW?
Theodore stared at her plainly.
Why did he even bother with girls? Communicating with the species was so difficult.
