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.
Ronnie grinned. "Sure, why not?" she asked. Come to think of it, she was very hungry at the moment.
" Great. " Justin said as he helped Ronnie sit up. " Let's just sit here for a few more minutes. I just want to spend some time alone . I feel bad for not having been around. "

Ronnie smiled as he helped her sit up. She rested her head on his shoulder. "Mmk." she said. "Don't feel bad, it's alright, Justin. Really." she said.

The date deal made, he made a mental note to look up the Magpie's schedule at the earliest possible time. Because he definitely wanted to know if that game was happening. He took her smile to be an encouragement, and a hopeful bubble of excitement sprang up in him. He wasn't sure why touching her seemed to be so problematic. Heaven only knew how many times some of the girls on the team last year had hugged or high fived him. But it seemed to be different with Kate, and a momentous realization began to form in the back of his brain..
As soon as he could, he was going straight to the Owlery. Straight to Treyen for help.
Privileged. He had never thought of it in that way before. "That's.. I've never thought of it like that before. But I suppose you're right, going anywhere you wanted whenever you wanted." And he agreed, that was pretty awesome. "And I don't think I've ever been up close to a Granian.. so I guess I have to take your word for it on them being cool." His word, not hers-- cool.
In his own little world of reminiscing, reliving that nightmarish day, her touch brought him back to reality, to the present. He felt a bit guilty that he could find it so gratifying when moments before he had been so down. She was right, it had been an accident and not his fault in the slightest. The warmth of her smile reached up to her eyes and he found himself not as sad.
It occurred to him that he really should get heading to the Pitch. He made to stand and wipe the grass from his robes. "Er, I should get going. Have to get to the Pitch, you know," he said half-heartedly. Try as he might, he couldn't hide the leftover sadness from his face or his voice.
It all seemed to be perfect in regards to Quidditch, as expected, because everything was always perfect when Quidditch came around, unless you were rivals to death, and...she still thought of it as perfect. Yet knowing that he hadn't considered that wording for the creatures came almost as a surprise. Especially for a boy who played a sport that involved being on the air as much as a winged horse wanted to.
Oh, no, she was right. Thanks for pointing it out, though. "Yes, exactly," that's why they were given wings, no? Logic. And her smile simply widened at the mention of Granians again, "They're beautiful too," she finally said, eyes always on him. Instead of Thestrals, he should've thought of Granians. Wider market for them as well. Thestrals were mostly wanted by wand-makers and potioneers as far as she was concerned. Not too many people actually got them to care for. Because not too many could see them.
Kate was uncertain about whether it was a good sign that he'd said nothing else in regards to what happened when he was little or not. Though she was positively glad that the sadness in his eyes had dissipated a bit. But it was still there, lingering in his expression. It didn't suit him.
Then he started to get up, and it was all too sudden for her to even say she could go with him if he wanted to..., so all she said was, "Will you be okay, Keefer?" eyes on him, always.
Ronnie smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. She kissed his cheek and looked at the ducks swimming in the pond as he spoke. "Anytime, Justin." she replied.
After a few minutes Justin kisse the top of her head and said, " Well, Love. You ready for that dinner? I'm famished and it's starting to get a bit chilly and I don't want you getting sick. I only just caught up with you." he joked.

Ronnie smiled and nodded. "Yeah of course." she said, laughing at what he said. She got up and stretched her hand out towards him to help him up.

Justin took her hand and stood up still holding onto her. " Thanks, Ronnie. " he smiled. Then turned her to face him and took hold of her other hand. He looked into her eyes then leaned down and kissed her lips sweetly. " Come on let's go. " And he headed them toward the castle.

They're beautiful, too. He smiled. "Just like--" He stopped himself short, but really, there was no reason not to say it. "Just like you." His cheeks gained a faint shade of pink. She could scoff all she wanted, but he had meant what he had said.
"Yes, I'll be fine. Really," he said, nodding. "It's just... not the most pleasant memory, as you may imagine." Understatement, but still true. "You were a great listener. Thank you." The thanks were heartfelt and genuine, deeper than she likely suspected, but reflected in his eyes.
He extended a hand partially towards her. "You getting up or staying a bit longer?"

That's unfair, there's a Hug a Slytherin day for Merlin's sake which Jonathan still thinks should be banned. Hugging Slytherins are not the best ideas one could really think of. Jonathan still remembers the time when a Hufflepuff, out of nowhere, just decided to hug him. Thinking about it now makes him cringe.
"It's not creepy" he said fixing his his coat when Beezus managed to fumble it during her 'struggle' to shove him off because he was doing a nice gesture. "it's just a hug not the end of the world" he said leaning down to her height. Beezus is such a tiny girl. Wait! Jonathan hasn't grew this year right? Nope. His mother didn't complain about buying him new Slytherin uniforms.
Random thoughts...
I'm your princess? What now??? "it was an expression" he said emphasizing every word of it. Well, she is kind of acting like one right now. First, with the hugging and then the patting of the head. Geez. He didn't want to argue further, so he just stopped adding more banters. Yeah, save some for later.
Jonathan is just really happy to have Ash around. Other than his owl, Jonathan has never had any pets ever since he could remember. His mother had a kneazle but he never liked that kneazle, that creature was evil. She never liked him one bit and so did he. Jonathan smiled to himself when Beezus asked him. It was a fun birthday actually. He didn't celebrate it in London though, they were in France at the time. So who gave the little crup to him? He glanced over to Beezus with a grin on his face "Jeanne gave it to me." adding a nod.
It wasn't the end of the world? Pfft. Maybe it wasn't but it was still creepy to her. She's the one who hugs, not the one who gets hugged! She doesn't even let her Aunt hug her for Merlin's sake! "It is creepy for me Jonathan," replied Beezus with an eyeroll. Hmm.. she suddenly got an idea. Jonathan did said it wasn't the end of the world if hugs were given right?
So, she stood quickly and hugged the Slytherin's neck from behind. "It's not the end of the world!" she said with a giggled. Naaah, she was just gonna stay hanging over him until they're done talking.
The Ravenclaw raised her head and propped her chin above Jonathan's head. "I know it was just an expression. I was only joking. Psshhh.." Honestly, she wasn't that dumb to think Jonathan meant it. Haha. Her? His princess? She did claim him as her older brother but she was the only one who was aware of the assertion. Maybe she'd ask him to be her older brother then? "Jonathan..will you be my older brother?" she asked casually. If he answers otherwise however, she won't care. She was still going to see him as her older brother.
Jeanne? That name sort of sounded VERY familiar but she just couldn't point it out. "Who's Jeanne?" Wait..it wasn't Kurumi who gave the crup? Did she even gave him anything? "Is Jeanne your girlfriend?" Beezus teased as she reached out to tickle the crup's tummy. Of course she knew Jeanne wasn't Jonathan's girlfriend. Kurumi was the girlfriend.
"It would! It is! Bugs are cool." West beamed at his newest friend and then when he asked about the librarian, West explained.
"Well the lake? The pipes from the castle empty into it, so like.... sewage comes out in there. So that means the fishes aren't good for people to eat. And I went for a walk and the librarian was FISHING and I explained about the sewerage and I don't know if he didn't understand or just thought it didn't matter cos I'm a kid, but he was fishing to EAT the fish. The poofish. And you can get real sick from that. But he didn't listen. And I thought librarians were supposed to KNOW things, but I don't think that one does. So I'm not going to ask him for books because he won't know the right books." And that was that.
"Yeah okay! I can do that!" YESSSSS it would be AWESOME! "When should we meet back HERE?"
A look of total disgust crossed Kaiden's face. "Thats nasty, He was going to eat them." He knew there was always nasty things in lakes and all, but the sewage from the castle. He was never gonna get in that lake. This librarian, he didn't know what to make of all that West had said.
"You wanna meet back here as soon as we get the stuff?" So they can go a head and make the campfire. It would be so much fun!

She didn't know why it mattered so much he had seen her all the times in many outfits. She finally decided on a cute dress that hide most of the now yellowish fading bruises that came from her run in at the willow. She still had her natural brown hair and she quickly threw her fingers threw it one last time before making her way towards him. She saw him feeding the ducks and couldn't help but smile watching him. She walked as quietly as she could up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Hey there, I'm sorry to bother you, but I was trying to find this boy, he was suppose to meet me here. He's pretty cute, blackish hair, brown eyes most of the time...Haven't seen anyone like that have you?" She giggled a bit after she asked the question.

Maxwell smiled. "No i haven't but, I'm here. I wouldn't mind company from a cute girl like you." He said turning his head to kiss her on the cheek. "You look very lovely in that dress."

Minerva smiled and felt herself blush as he told her she looked nice. She wasn't one to wear a dress very often, but for some reason felt like it today. "Why thank you. Sorry it took me so long to get down here. I was trying to find something to cover my battle scars from my game. I swear bruises get uglier as they heal." She pulled up the sleeve on her dress to show him her arm. There had been so many bruises on it that the yellow looked as if it wrapped around her entire upper arm. "I hope you weren't waiting long for me."She let go of him and walked around so she could sit next to him looking out at the pond.
They're beautiful, too. He smiled. "Just like--" He stopped himself short, but really, there was no reason not to say it. "Just like you." His cheeks gained a faint shade of pink. She could scoff all she wanted, but he had meant what he had said.

He extended a hand partially towards her. "You getting up or staying a bit longer?"
Yes? 'Just like...' what? Her eyes were slowly leaning towards demanding an answer, but he continued. And her former reaction with 'what?' should've been with 'who?', instead. Granted, she hadn't expected that, yet she seemed unaffected by it... if you define 'unaffected' by smiling as wide as possible and getting some rosy tint on her cheeks, that is. However, she wasn't too thrilled that the comparison came from a winged horse, but she'll accept that anyway. "Thank you," she said, suppressing the urge to giggle at this.
The wide smile turned into a small sweet one once he said he'll be okay. And she nodded. Kate usually wasn't one to worry about others but it was different with him. "I can only imagine," she said, because all they ever lost were owls and old relatives, but she was never around. And it wasn't the same, AT ALL. So, she understood, as much as she could. Another set of nods came along as he thanked her, but there couldn't be a proper reply to that other than the smile she was giving him and the little nod near the end.
His hand was in sight again. And she couldn't help but take it. To help her stand up, that is. "I think I should head back, actually," her eyes on his, and her hand was still holding his. But Kate wasn't going inside the Castle. Chances are she'll be wandering around a bit more, but to those places she's yet to see. "I'll see you later, yes?" like, in the Common Room, perhaps? "Bye, Keefer," she said, before kissing his cheek and...finally letting go of his hand.
Minerva smiled and felt herself blush as he told her she looked nice. She wasn't one to wear a dress very often, but for some reason felt like it today. "Why thank you.

"I hope you weren't waiting long for me."She let go of him and walked around so she could sit next to him looking out at the pond.
Maxwell smiled and kissed the bruise she showed him. "Well, you do look very pretty today." He said leaning his head on her shoulder. "Would you like to feed the ducks?" He asked holding out a piece of bread to her.

Minerva smiled as he kissed her bruises, still be her knight. She watched as he leaned his head on her shoulder and she rested her on his while taking his hand in hers. "Well thank you, I actually tried today, so I guess that's a good thing. You look pretty nice yourself." Maxwell always looked cute to her. She liked that way he always looked. "Sure I would love to feed the ducks. They are so cute to watch. One day when I was out here I actually thought about changing them to have some nice new brighter colors, but figured I would get detention for it, so I didn't go through with it." She laughed a little thinking about that. "Hmm, but I might have to tell my friend Laura about it, she loves getting into trouble."

Maxwell smiled. "Thank you." He said and laughed about the ducks. "I think you might, and a friend who likes trouble? Sounds like my kind of friend." He said happily. Reaching for her hand and rubbing it with her thumb.

Minerva laughed "Well Laura drove me crazy last term. She had gotten so many points taken, but I then became good friends with her, I think she has helped me learn how to relax a bit when it comes to the points. She has been testing me this term to see what I will and will not do." Minerva looked around to see if anyone was around to listen "She even had me charm the kitchen walls to all puff colors, she put up a banner that said puff rule or something like that." Minerva laughed, "I thought I was going to have a heart attack while doing it. I have never moved out of a room so quickly." She laughed about it and kissed the top of Maxwell's head.

Maxwell smiled. "So you had a bit of a bad girl streak and i missed it?" He said laughing and feeling very loved at the kiss on the head.

Minerva laughed "Give Laura time there will be more. I have it in me, but I just don't let it out here. I just can't handle losing points or even the thought of detention. I know total whack job, right?" she giggled a bit. Leaning her head on his again she sighed. "You heard about some of the things I pulled this summer, that's where I feel more comfortable doing things. The only person that was going to punish me is Leelee and she is hardly home, so that isn't going to do much."

Maxwell laughed. "Well, I hope to see it." He said putting an arm around her. "I know what you mean, when I'm with my dad he's more interested in learning new tricks than punishing me and half the time he doesn't because he sill does those sort of things and would feel like a hypocrite." He said smiling, he loved being at his Dad's for this reason, he could do anything.

Minerva laughed and leaned closer one she felt his arm around her. "I could just hear my mother she would be freaking out knowing some of the stuff I pulled this summer. The best was giving Leelee biting tea cups. That did not go over well." she laughed remembering Leelee screaming at her with a tea cup attached to her upper lip. "Mom always worried I would have to many of the Blaze traits in me, which is her side of the family. When I got into Hufflepuff and not Slytherin she was thrilled." she sighed thinking about her mom. "Your dad seems like a lot of fun. You stay with him the majority of your time off, right?" she knew he was mad at his mom at that moment, but didn't really know what the whole set up was with his family.

"Well, not until this summer when he moved to Scotland to be near Elizabeth. I stayed with him because of Taylor and we just ended up having a lot of fun, he and I. We would do just...guy stuff, he taught me about cars and we went to Loch Ness and we just had a good time, He's great." He said smiling and hoping things wouldn't change with his dad now that he was married.
