This place was the second most awesome thing on the ground! The first place went to the Duck Pond of course.

Daichi's eyes widened as he saw the huge playground in front of him. His mouth hang open slightly in awe and he had Mr.Duckles in his school bag on his back with the head popping out of the opening.

Squealing loudly before clearing his throat and looking around if anyone heard him. he knew he would get a slap on the head from Thea if she heard the squeal O_o And he waddled towards one of the ladders of the playground, getting ready to climb.

HOLD UP. A playground?! and had she just heard somebody squeal? 'Daichi?..' She called out carefully. The squeal had been very familiar..
Ah. There he was. Waddling about. Bless him. She couldn't help laughing at him.
Watching, she spotted Mr Duckles' head bopping around as Daichi wandered towards the ladders.

Rummaging about in her own school bag, she grabbed her sunglasses. Placing them on her face, she smiled. Muuuuch better. Crossing her arms over her chest she walked towards Daichi. 'Make sure your ducky doesn't fall out your bag!' She frowned. 'Or he won't be impressed.'
Smiling slightly she leant against the large climbing.. thing. she didn't really know what to call it.

Ah, finally. Something he was familiar with. And no guessing this time. "Sure, candies are good." Any kind of food was good. Except those that weren't edible and smelled awful and tasted awful. Bleckk. But candies were sweet.

Zeke was swinging in a slow and little motion, it looked like he was merely being forced to move by the wind. Just slight movements as his feet pushed his forward and back.

Daichi had placed a foot on the ladder when he heard a voice. He turned his head and smiled when he saw Thea leaning against the playground. The way she was leaning against it was so cool and the Slytherin's eyes twinkled a little. "He won't fall out!" he said reasuringly as he began to climb on the ladder.

one step, two steps, three steps..four steps , five steps, six steps se-- He really wished he could have counted till the seventh step but something was wrong. Missing in fact. The ladder he was climbing on suddenly dissapeared and Daichi yelled loudly when he realized it in the split second he fell down.

Instictively reaching out to grab something, his hands grabbed Thea's arm as he fell and when he landed he was surprised that it had not hurt. It was as if an invisible cushion had been placed under him and the Snake LAUGHED out loud.

A playground. Hogwarts now had a playground? Usually Jordan would've been running around like an infant child under normal circumstances, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. He couldnt work out what was wrong with him, ever since he'd gotten back from his summer with Jez, Nate and Pam he hadn't been feeling like his normal self. He'd been quiet, distant and most of all his metamorph powers had been going haywire, he suspected it was because of the blow to the temple he'd recieved which still hadn't healed. He took a seat on a swing and began to slowly push himself.

"Ow." His face was still on the ground. Still in the fetal position.

Theodore eventually sat up, his face covered in mud and a slight bump starting to form on his forehead. "Oh, I'm fine. That was nothing." But his insides were CRYINGGGGGGGG. Literally.

Amazing Theo? Even though he hated being called Theo, the boy shrugged, "That kinda fits me perfectly." He beamed.

"Sooo.... are we PALS now?" Are they putting the almost-food-fight incident behind them?

Watching Daichi climb, her eyes widened slightly as the ladder.. DISAPPEARED?!?!? Letting out a shriek, Thea tried to cover her face with her hands but instead she was pulled to the ground.

For a bit she just lay there, a bit unsure of what had just happened. She must have looked ridiculous. Her sunglasses sat askew on her face and she had a Slytherin laughing like a total loon sitting half next to her, half on top of her.
Pushing herself up, she just stared. Was the ladder back or..? Well there was no way she was going up there.
Patting herself she made sure nothing was missing/snapped... 'Are you okay?' She turned to Daichi who erm.. still seemed fairly happy about the situation. 'Mr Duckles okay?' She then asked, to lazy and sore to look for herself. Thea had no idea why she even asked about Mr Duckles. It was a toy, of course he'd be fine. 'I knew I should have backed off while I had the chance..' She muttered, but despite herself she couldn't help laughing.

Selena watched as the kid ate it in like... seconds. That was... just... her eyes were wide as she watched. She just hoped the guy didn't choke to death because then she'd have to drag him to the Healer and that didn't sound like fun at all. "Kent is named after Superman!" Selena exclaimed, grinning. Kent was a nice pygmy puff, he didn't bite. All the pygmy puff did was eat snot. Which wasn't cool at all. "Do you wanna hold Kent? He might try to eat your snot though."

He wanted to call her Selena? "Fine." Because she was nice. "Slytherin is better," Selena said, giggling at his squeak before hissing. See, snakes were totally cool. It also helped that she could talk to them but whatever, right?

They weren't playing... yet. Well then. "Tag! Tag, you're it, no tagbacks," Selena said, quickly poking him and then smirking. Hah! He was doomed to be forever it now. hehe. "See Pineapple, we were just playing a game of Tag. Which I won." Obviously.

Looking down at his long legs, he shook his head "Don't rightly think I'll fit actually." He was usually wayyyy too tall for most playground items. It really kind of stunk most times, because there was so much things to do and play on and with on a playground. Was it weird that being almost of age, he still liked to play there??? Hmm, he'd have to think on that one.

A smile appeared on his own face as she got off and introduced herself. "I'm Isaac." he said shaking her hand. "Have ye checked anything else out on here?" he asked looking around them.

Harvey led Ameliah to the playground and just looked at it.. it was new and had never seen it before "Wow.. just like a muggle playground.. it looks so good! dont you think so?" he asked Ameliah still clutching her hand in his

OHMIGOSH!!!! A PLAYGROUND!!!! "I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!" Ameliah squealed. Yup. The twelve year old that squeals at a playground. JUST what Hogwarts needed!!

Angie jump up and down like a 12 year old dose when shes hyper.Woot she yelled i'm going to party on the swings yo she yelled.she hopped on the swings.

"Nice to meet you, Isaac!" Ronnie said. She then shook her head. "No, not yet that is." she said chuckling. She looked around. This playground was so awesome! She noticed the swings and smiled. "Those swings look like lots of fun." she said, pointing them out. "Wanna come with me to go on them?" she asked, turning back to Isaac with a smile.

Harvey watched her squeal "Yeah I can see that you love it ... ALOT!!" he grinned as he moved in closer to her and gave her a hug and keeping his arms around her "What part of her castle does my princess want to explore first?" he asked chuckling as he looked at her closely

Ameliah grinned. "The swingset, defenitly." she responded, hugging him back.

Harvey smiled as she hugged him back "Of course.. lets go" he said as he offered her his arm to loop her arm into to go and explore the swingset.. this was new for both of them since this whole playground was new.. so they would explore it together "You sit in it and I will push you.. but I wont push you too hard dont worry about that" he smiled.. or would he? he could push her hard.. but then he would frighten her and he didnt want that.. so that plan was out.

Ameliah took his arm and hers and they walked to the swingset. She sat in the swing happily, grinning. She laughed; "I supported myself age eight to eleven. Payed my own rent by working, earned enough money to barly feed myself. Not to mention I work potatoe farms with both my biological and adopted family. You realize I'm tougher than that, right?" she asked, chuckling. "I don't care how high you push me!"

Harvey led her to the swingset as she sat down and he began to push her.. and listened to her talk "wow you did all that by the age of 12?.. wow! even I havent done that much! You are? well when you put it like that.. yeah you do seem quite tough! OK! I will push you higher then" he smiled as he proceeded to push her higher.. this was another tough girl he had as a girlfriend.. it seemed tough girls liked him.. but who was he to complain when they were girls like Ameliah.

Delilah REALLY wanted to go exploring... but they already had homework, and she was supposed to try and do well this year. Hmpf.

After half an hour of work, her Superman socks were back on (after having used a cleaning spell on them, of course); her books were away; and she was out of the common room. On her journey to the grounds, she'd found a couple of secret passageways, but they lead NOWHERE. How BORING. Hopefully there'd be something more worthwhile outside...

Her hands were stuffed into her pockets while she wandered through the courtyard and out onto the grounds. She passed what looked like a duck pond, ("What's the point of that? There's a whole LAKE!") and caught sight of the Quidditch pitch. Maybe she could try out for Quidditch... it could be fun. No. No, it'd be dangerous. She didn't want to do that. What if she fell of the broom and DIED?!

And then she saw it. IT WAS LIKE HOGWARTS ONLY COOLER. The Slytherin stopped in her tracks and just stared at the playground.

She's 15. She's supposed to be responsible now.

Like a grown up.

Well. Nearly.

Delilah had started to run towards the playground before she'd even finished the thought; the capes on her socks manically fluttering behind her. THERE WAS SO MUCH TO DO!! Delilah didn't even know where to start.

Hmm. The ladders... They looked good. She could climb to the highest point of the playground, and scope it out. Find the most interesting place to go to next...

And so she set off, wandering through the 'castle' climbing any ladders she came across, in the hope she'd get to the highest point.

Ameliah laughed, and when the swing was high enough, she tried her trick, seeing if she still could do it. In one quick move, she flipped backwards, wrapped her legs around the chains, and dangled from the swing like that.

Yes... Indeed... Jonathan was going to try out for Quidditch... And he was going to be...

...Spectacular.

Although, he had never exactly played Quidditch before. Sure I've flown... BUT never actually played.... Although, flying through the Brazilian rain-forest was a trip... I have never dodged so many birds in my-

A PLAYGROUND?!?!?!?!

Why Jonathan didn't notice this on his way down to the pitch- he had no idea... But he was sure glad he found it on his way back....

Somewhere in this fortress, the evil Dr. Vilkenheim was holding the beautiful dame hostage.... AND IT'S MY JOB TO SAVE HER!

Jonathan sprinted onto the playground, up the ladders and into the fortress... I will have to use all my wits, skills, and prowess to find the room where Dr. Vilkenheim was... And then-

"OOF!" Jonathan had collided with the henchman of Dr. Vilkenheim! The boy fell... He reached for his blaster. GASP, WHERE IS IT?!?!

"I should have you know there are 200 agents surrounding the perimeter of this fortress!" Jonathan stood up to face his enemy. BUT WAIT! "Delilah? ...You're an agent of Dr. Vilkenheim?"

Harvey was pushing Ameliah and when the swing was high she did a trick.. "WOW!! I didnt know you could do that!! I guess I must learn some more things about you" he said as he watched her dangle from the swing.

Ameliah flipped back up, grinning. "I used to do it when I was little. Amazing I still have the reflexes." she laughed.

Delilah was SO jealous of Gerald right now. Getting around this would be so much easier AND SO MUCH MORE FUN if she had a tail, and the rest of the monkey-balance... thing he has going on. Alas, she didn't. So exploring on foot it was!

After finding a dead end, the girl turned back on herself to go and find a better route. SHE NEEDED TO FIND THE TALLEST POINT OF THE CASTLE -

OOFT.

...

Ow.

Face first into the chest of ... someone. That someone was now lay on the floor. Did she really run into him with such force? OH MY... THAT WAS BAD IF IT WAS THE CASE. OOPS?

THIS would not have happened if she weren't so SHORT.

Rubbing her nose, the Slytherin rose her eyebrows when she realised who was on the floor. Jonathan! He didn't look quite so strange when he wasn't wearing silly clothes. But then, of course, he spoke. Agents? Why would there need to be agents? What even WERE agents? Delilah just looked at him, confused, not realising to help him up. "Um... what?"

When he stood up and recognised her, she frowned, more confused than ever. "Doctor... Vilken... Who?!" Of course she wasn't an agent! But obviously - assuming that an agent was the assistant of a bad buy (that doctor guy sounded like he'd be a bad guy...) - then that's EXACTLY what he'd be expecting her to say...

Kent was named after Superman? He didn't understand what she had meant at first,but the more he thought about it the more he understood where the name had come from. "Clark Kent- I get it. So, can he fly? Is Kryptonite his weakness?" So many questions. As far as he knew, Tag didn't have any snot. He wasn't sick at all so he began to wonder how Kent would eat his snot, if he had any. "Yes, I'd like to hold him. And, snot eating? So, does he climb up your nose or something and eat it?"

Now he was really stomping his feet on the floor. "No fair. You didn't give me time to run away from you!" That was the quickest game of tag ever. He wanted to run away from her, at least, have a chance to try and win the game.
