"Can you conjure some armbands?" Or a float? Otherwise, you'd all meet a very nervous Theodore.
"Cool!" Theo wanted to be a prefect when he grew up. But for a start, he didn't feel he had the maturity or brains to be one. Actually, he was a bit of a wimp and wimps couldn't fight crime like prefects. Oh well, it was just a far away dream of his. "What year are you actually in?"
Well, of course. Everyone knew West. And they did kinda come as a package deal in some cases, so... "Oh, right..." Theo didn't remember giving the school permission to put his photo in the yearbook. Psshhht. Anyway, some other mentions? Like what? A list of his daily routine written by his prefect!stalker?
No......
That wouldn't happen.
"I hope it's good stuff about me."
Kurumi couldn't help but feel like Theo was trying to pull the comfort card on her of sorts. It was probably the whole 'come on' comment. Selina usually used that whenever she wanted something...which usually implied food was involved in some way, shape, or form. "Okay then, why not," she laughed, slipping off her outer most layer and setting it on the grass beside her. "Armbands?" she asked, cocking her head to the side out of confusion. "What...sort of armbands do you mean?" Like a bracelet?
Cool...Kurumi supposed that one could say that being a prefect was cool...but she was going to dismiss that for now. "I'm a seventh year." Cue a slight frown. Just the word seventh was enough to make her start reflecting and thinking and...she really needed to stop.
"Well, nothing bad I don't think," she replied with a reassuring smile. The yearbook wasn't the Aparecium after all.

Shivering at the memory of his first winter here, he blew a raspberry at Ed. "I'm sure." Wrinkling his nose he shook his head "I tried te dig my way back te Egypt after me first quidditch game where I failed te catch the snitch. But ended up sliding across the ice on me back after Amelia tried summoning me out of the hole I was digging. Then a few days after thet we got lost in a snow storm ok flurry and walloped by the Whomping willow."
"Of course I am lil' shrimp." he teased back. Yeah Ed was only like 6 inches shorter but it was a lot when you were taller by that much. Towering over everyone wasn't always fun! Grinning he stretched his legs pointing his toes. "I never got thet priviledge, Amelia and I just checked everything out tegether."
PFFT yeah like people would believe his name was Issy. Rolling his eyes, "Like I said ye call me thet, I won't answer Albie." Yep that was his nickname for her. "Guess ye gotta do what ye gotta do." Laughing he shook his head "No he dumped ME drink on me, and it was an accident."

Grinning at the raspberry, Edmund listened to the story with great interest. Laughter burst out of him as he imagined a little girl with pigtails sliding across ice. It was just too hilarious! "Snow storms are not nice. I got caught in one once." He shuddered at the memory.
"Shrimp?!" Ed laughed in surprise, but decided to give him that one. It wasn't his fault he was freakishly tall. "So, what? You and Amelia met and got together straight away?" It was strange, but it happened. He was sort of proof of that.
He totally had to laugh at Abby's stubborn response to Isaac refusing to answer to Issy. It was easier to just give in and respond. Albie. Oh gosh, his stomach hurt now! Once he managed to get his breath, he looked up at her and smirked at her expression. "I accidentally bumped into him and he ended up wearing his drink instead. Suited him."
ALBIE? Abby stared at the boy, not sure if she actually liked that name. It was better than Hasty but still.. but she said that she wouldn't have a problem with whatever name he came up with so Albie it is. When he said he wouldn't answer to Issy, she laughed and poked him on the shoulder. "Aw, c'mon! It's not a girly name!"
She raised her eyebrows when Almond laughed. A lot. "Don't you think Issy is a nice name? You really should support me on this." Because it didn't look like Issy was going to accept that name anytime soon.

OOMPH!
Okay, NOW Beezus had landed - straight across his stomach. Well, that certainly said something about his aim. But more importantly, how was his friend. He slowly tensed his stomach muscles, trying to sit himself up enough to check she was okay.
As soon as she responded, he let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding. "I'm here," he said quietly. She didn't exactly need to know where. Being underneath her was, well, on the awkward side. Even if he'd done it with good intentions. Though maybe she'd realised that the rock was slightly squishier that she was expecting. He bit his lip, nervously. "What am I, what?" he asked curiously. Doing there?
Saving you. Not wanting to see you hurt.
"It's no problem," he said. "No need to apologise." Especially since it'd been him she'd been avoiding. He was the one to blame. Spike's heart sank a little inside. "Are you hurt at all?"
She'd been awfully quiet. It worried him. Spike pushed himself up a bit further, wincing again at the skin being pulled on his back. He'd have a nice graze on that in the morning, huh? And probably a few bruises. That'd be nice for sleeping on. NOT. And he wouldn't even be able to see them to appreciate them properly - though he probably wouldn't want to, given the circumstances and the reminder there would be why she'd fell.
Because of him.
"Beezus," he said quietly, now sat up enough to adjust slightly to the side. He cradled her more comfortably into his left arm, her head resting against his left shoulder. With his right hand, he moved the hair out of her eyes. She really was pretty. Prettier than he'd remembered over the summer. His heart started to beat faster underneath her, and his mouth went dry. Despite his worries, he could see advantages in this outcome.
"I-I-I'm the one who should apologise," he said after a while and moistening his lips. For chasing her. And making her fall. And managing to make her wet, given she was laid across his wet tee and jeans. "S-s-sorry..."
Beezus snorted when Spike confirmed his location. Seriously, he didn't have to say where he was, because she knew and she could feel the warmness emitted by his body against hers. Their current situation was immensely awkward but there was nothing she could do about it. Not yet anyway. Her limbs still felt a bit shaken.
"What're you doing..there." the brunette responded to his inquisition. To be honest, she didn't expect him to be there in time for her rescue, but she was grateful nonetheless.
Hmm. He should be the one to apologize? Actually...Beezus thought about that. However, it wasn't really all Spike's fault. She was to blame too. After all, she was the one who pushed him into the spring. She'd reminded herself to correct that one later. "Mhm? I'm alright..I think." She didn't feel too much pain aside from the slight disorientation from the external surrounding she was experiencing, and the tad ache along her hips.
Siiiiigh. She should try and get up now, shouldn't she?
But her brain won't cooperate at the moment, like when she had landed on the Platform at Hogsmeade after using the Portkey for transportation. As her name was once more uttered by the Prefect, she felt him sitting up, her upper body was somehow lifted and she was now sitting on the ground. Slowly, her head found a comfortable cushion, his shoulder. Blinking, she stared at the older 'Claw as he brushed the strands of hair that was covering her face.
....He was apologizing again.
Beezus smirked and moved her right hand, open palm to corral his face and shook it slightly. "Stop apologizing okay? I'm fine.." Well..a lot better than a while ago. Then she brought her hand up to his head to mess his already messed up hair. "You won. I'm drenched now." the brunette said, giving him a slight raise of an eyebrows, grinning a bit. Happy Prefect Hutchinson?
Well NO, she was NOT the old Addy. She was just not going to let this mess of hormones and confusion stress her out anymore. What was the point? "Hi." She kicked her feet a little, sending ripples through the water as she smiled at him.
"I owe you an apology for my behavior. It was not your fault... Delphi was right when she said that to you," Addy said very boldly. No better way to solve a problem than head on. "And I suppose seeing you with some other girl... it made me jealous. Which, for the record, I have never been before. For any reason." Legit! She never even got jealous when Kenyon got praise and she didn't. Which didn't happen a lot, so that may have been the reason. Heh. "But either way, I was being ugly to you and it wasn't fair. I am sorry."
Not wanting to be staring at him when he responded she looked out over the water and chewed on her lip some more. Nasty nervous habit.
To say Nathaniel Aspen was taken aback was an understatement of a century. Because .. well yeah.
He stayed quite - his eyes on her as she spoke. She was not nervous like usual, he realized. No blush on her cheeks either. Changed. Yes.
More than that, he was surprised at how right Delphi was. His expression said very less when Addy mentioned how she was jealous of Delphi. She was his .. best friend, he wanted to say but remained quite. Addy clearly wanted to get a lot off her chest. He didn't want to interrupt.
He shrugged lightly at the statement she stopped talking at. "It's okay .. I just did not know what came over you," he said - his eyes wandering to her face which was now turned away from him.
"Addy .. I" he paused, searching for the right words. It troubled him how Delphi's voice ran into his head: 'how do you feel?' - and so did the reply he had given her. " .. I don't know what I feel. I know that it amuses me pleasantly when your cheeks go red .. or how ... curious you can be," he said - a small grin reaching his lips but soon went away .. since his eyes wandered over to her hand. He contemplated taking it in his. But it seemed such a foreign territory. Nonetheless .. to satisfy a curiosity or else, he reached out and took her hand in his. "I don't know .. what this is," he simply added in the end - his eyes cast downwards to their hands.

She snorted? Gee, thanks. He didn't have to try and soften the landing, and risk her breaking his ribs. But he had. Because it was the only thing that had crossed his mind to do. He couldn't bear the thought of her hitting the hard rock, being injured and missing quidditch.
At her clarification, Spike gave a sheepish shrug of his shoulders. "Trying to be useful, I guess," he said, his lips curling into a crooked grin. Though, perhaps conjuring a pillow might have been more practical? Or more appreciated? Unfortunately for Beezus, he didn't trust his wandwork that much.
The main thing was that she was okay. "No broken bones?" he queried, though he doubted it. She'd just said she was okay and wasn't screaming her head off...which probably meant that, yes, she was, in fact, okay. She was a tough girl - as evidenced by the fact she played Quidditch, and loved Spike's critters as much as he did. Evidence that she was no ordinary squeamish girl. But nevertheless, he wanted to check, just to be certain. She was probably a bit shaken up, finding herself laying on her best friend's older brother. "You can stay there for the moment if you'd like," he found himself saying, adjusting his shoulder to make it a less bony pillow, and gently brushing her hair out the way.
As she reached up to his face, Spike's heart pounded inside his near-naked chest. More noticeably though, his cheeks flushed with colour. "As long as you're sure," Spike replied, biting his lip. Emotions seemed to be jumping around right now - hovering between worry about what had happened, and enjoying the aftermath.
She was so close. He could just lean in and...
He blinked and wrinkled his nose, as she ruffled his hair and water flicked across his face. "You're giving up?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, the previous moment's thoughts now forgotten. "That easily?" His lips twitched upwards, her grin infectious. "I think we might have different definitions of 'drenched'..."

Addy WAS nervous, but she was containing it all. She had to. Either way this whole thing went she was okay with it. SHE WAS. Hearing his first comment she couldn't help but chuckle. "Trust me when I say neither did I." Truth.
She chewed vigorously on her lip as he began to speak once more. She would hate it if he got up and ran off, but she had just blindsided him with things she herself didn't even understand. Heh. However, she could not help but smile as he said she amused him... and how he liked her curiosity. It was not until he took her hand that she looked at him properly though. "That is probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me that wasn't required to say nice things, anyway." Like her parents and such. Heh.
Entwining her fingers with his, she scooted a little closer and lay her head on his shoulder. It just felt RIGHT. "I don't know, either. But maybe we can figure it out together?"

So this was a new place.
Alec blinked at the surrounding area. WOW. A spring! At Hogwarts! He took a couple of cautious steps closer towards the edge of the water and just stood there, staring into the hot wateryness. This was really, really new! He had never ever been to a spring before and now... here he was. Not even the bowl of ice cream in his hand could distract him now.
A grin spread across the fourteen year old's face as he started taking off his socks and converses. He tiptoed a little closer before sitting down at the edge and... staring some more. Was it just him... or was the steam rising up from the water made it look really really hot? He gulped.
The young Hufflepuff closed his eyes and gently dipped his feet into the water. Oh... well, that was nice! A slow grin started spreading across Alec's face. This WAS really nice! AND! He could have ice cream whilst just... sitting there. Yeah...
ALBIE? Abby stared at the boy, not sure if she actually liked that name. It was better than Hasty but still.. but she said that she wouldn't have a problem with whatever name he came up with so Albie it is. When he said he wouldn't answer to Issy, she laughed and poked him on the shoulder. "Aw, c'mon! It's not a girly name!"
She raised her eyebrows when Almond laughed. A lot. "Don't you think Issy is a nice name? You really should support me on this." Because it didn't look like Issy was going to accept that name anytime soon.

"I AM NOT ISSY!" he said glaring at Albie now. "Nope, never gonna respond te thet. And it is te a girlie name." Pfft, a lot she knew, Miss Albert. His mood was starting to go downhill with this new nickname.
"Nah, not really. We hit it off in Flourish and Blotts, but didn't start dating til like October." he replied shrugging. "Twas fun jus' bein' friends, but we started getting more serious around Christmas really." Yep, that was when he gave her a necklace!
Snorting he bit back laughter "No Almond's agreeing with stayin' out of this I think." Glancing Ed's way he had a look like 'is she for real???'

"No." He sniggered, trying his hardest to contain his laughter. "Not just pigtails." He finally laughed, unable to keep it in anymore. It was a disturbing mental image, though. He definitely wasn't going to get involved in the name fight though. Nope. No way.
"Oh, so Nell and I beat you on the dating part?" He smirked at his best friend and nodded with a faked serious expression. "Was that when you realised it'd be easier to give presents if you were together?"
A scowl was shot at Isaac again as he called him Almond. "You're right. I am staying out of this, Issy."

And speaking of Daichi, what would he say about there not being a duck pond?? He'd probably be as sad (if not more) as Ameliah.
"Look, you're just--" Ameliah cut herself short as she realized how nasty she was close to being to Lex. She was ACTUALLY about to say that Lex was too young to understand. Ameliah hated being called firstie and thought of as too young when she was in her first year. Whyyyyy would she say that to someone else?? Rudeness was not tollerated in Ameliah's mind.
Shaking her head, she tried for a subject change. "Have you gone to any of your classes yet??"
This caught Lex's attention. "Wait, you had a snowball fight on the lake...or just by the lake?" Yes it made a big difference which one it was because having a snowball fight on the lake meant that the lake froze over during the winter and if that was the case then she wanted to go skating on it! Or just walk on it trying to find out whether or not the giant squid liked swimming when the water got cold. Shrug.
She raised an eyebrow at the girl. That look on her face finished the sentence that the girl had left hanging and quite frankly she had heard that speech at least a million times since she got here. "Let me guess, you're gonna tell me that I'm too young to understand, right? Well I prefer to think of it like me still being young enough to not get brainwashed." That was the best perspective seeing as most of the girls she had run into were having boy problems. Ick.
"Oh yeah, I've been to Astronomy so far. It's really nice and we got to make rockets!!!" If she remembered nothing else from the class she would always remember the rockets.

"By the lake," Ameliah responded. She could see why Lex got that confused. "I've never actually gotten on the lake during the winter, gotta see if it'll freeze over!" And then Am could have an older student make a pair of skates and everyone could have a great fun time!!!
Ameliah pouted and looked at Lex apologetically. "I was going to, but I tried to stop myself. 'M sorry, that's the meanest thing to say. I can tell from experience." WHY was she so on edge lately?? She was beginning to sound like her Aunt. But back to the topic of classes! "OOO! I'm not takin' Astronomy this year." And Ameliah really wanted to, but it just didn't fit in her schedule. "Just wait 'till Charms comes up! It's my favorite class!" It was really loud and chaotic. Just her type!!

Harvey decided to visit one of the many new spots they had added here at Hogwarts, he was used to his favourite places up and disappearing though he was never too pleased about them. He guessed that this is where the duck pond could have been where he spent many days with friends feeding the ducks, and now they were all gone to be replaced by this! This used to be were that lovely pond with the waterfall was too, that disappeared to be replaced with the duck pond which he grew to love and now this. He doubted that he could ever grow to love this, well only time would tell if he would accept this change.

Elise planned on doing some sketching, now that her arm was all better and stuff, but then realized that she hadn't seen the Hot Spring yet. And it was a little cold anyway. Pulling her scarf a little tighter around her, she made her way down to the grounds, sketchbook and pencils in her bag.
Elise's eyes narrowed when she saw the steam that rose from the water's surface. It probably was a really hot spring. Rolling up her jeans so they wouldn't get wet, she put her bag down by a tree.
Oh, wait. Who was that? It was that Hufflepuff she met at the feast. Alex? Oh, right. Alec. With a C. Beaming widely, she flopped down on the grass next to him. "Hi, Alec!" she grinned. Noticing his feet in the water, Elise stretched her toe out a little and touched the surface of the water.
It was warm. So she slowly dipped her feet into the water and her grin widened. This was nice!

Oh she doubted him did she? Terry didn't lie and he would definitely take revenge. She was just giggling away and he smirked at her, watching her movements, dodging away from her splashes and splashing her straight back. He knew what would make her giggle, he knew exactly how he could take revenge. "Of course I will" he winked and then started tickling her waist, cackling in preparation for her reaction. "Just like that" he poked his tongue out. He was probably strong enough to pick her up and dunk her in but he thought that would be going a little too far, it was just a little bit of fun and he didn't want to upset her.
He was impressed with her magical skills, for a second year she was able to perform spells that Terry couldn't yet. It wasn't because he was rubbish at it but instead because he hadn't actually had the chance to learn any of them yet. His education had been mostly focused on Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology because that's what his mother was best at. "Well it's okay for you then" he chuckled. "But I don't know any spells so you'd have to clean my clothes too." Yep. His mum didn't appreciate having to do the 'washing' herself. "Why are you acting so surprised at that?" he asked, his expression blank. Of course he didn't mind the mud! "I have lots of animals at home, you get dirty all the time." He had wellies now, to stop his socks and trainers from getting ruined and his mother had recently bought him overalls when he went to help out with the larger animals.
He shook his head when she asked him about getting cold. "I'm fine, I don't really feel the wind" he said, unzipping his jacket and handing it over to the girl. "You look like you might go blue if you don't have anything to keep you warm." And he wouldn't want that! She might have to go back to her common room and he would get bored out here by himself.
He was glad when she stopped crying, knowing that his 'comforting' words weren't exactly the best. He gave her a gentle smile as he sat back, leaning up on his elbows so that he could absorb the autumn sun and still see her. He didn't really know what else to say to her now that she had let everything out. "Just don't be sad! You have lots of friends here that can help make you happy," like him! He could tell her jokes and act silly to make her laugh. He understood that it was a good thing that she trusted him. "I'm glad you trust me" he nodded once, he felt like he was a trustworthy person. "It's okay" he smiled as she hugged him and he hugged her back. "Do you feel better now" he hoped she did, it would make things happier. And if not he would try doing something to cheer her up.
Bliss watched Terry carefully, knowing that his revenge was bound to come soon. At some point during all of the splashing and stuff, she realised she was having a really good time, all her worries about anything else were simply disappearing. YAY. She started laughing even more as Terry splashed more water on her, she relaxed for a second and then..he attacked. If tickling counted as attacking. She started giggling and couldn't stop, she had no idea what to do, she couldn't curl up into a little ball, she'd just end up in the water. She couldn't tickle him back, from what she could tell, he didn't like being tickled. During all this thinking she was still giggling. "Terryyyyy," she whined and laughed, a grin spread across her face. She balled her hands up into fists and leaned on Terry's shoulder to try and muffle the giggling. She didn't think it was working.
Bliss shook her head and laughed, "I could clean your clothes too," she told and then thought. Why couldn't he do it himself. "The spell is Scourgify," she explained to Terry and smiled. Now he could get as mucky as possible and be able to clean all his clothes! Bliss laughed, why was she acting so surprised. "I dunno, maybe it's because you are carefully avoiding all the water," she said and shrugged. Who knows, her mind was funny. Oooh, lots of animals? Of course, she already knew this, but it still caught her attention. "What type of animals do you have?" Bliss asked curiously, smiling at Terry.
Bliss looked at Terry anxiously, hoping that what he said was true. She didn't want him catching a cold because of her, even if the healer could easily get rid of it. "I do?" She asked, surprised. She didn't realise she was that cold, in fact, she was feeling kind of numb. Oh. That's how cold she was. "Thanks, Terry," she said accepting the jacket. She put it on and zipped it up, and instantly felt warmer. She grinned at the boy, her eyes filled with thanks.
At least she'd stopped crying now. At least was no longer being a pain. She returned Terry's smile and because she was sat down, she brought her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them. She looked out across the spring, it was peaceful now and she was feeling relaxed. "Okay, I promise not to be sad," she told Terry, meaning it. As long as she had Terry and Blue, Theo and Alec as friends, she be happy. "I know I do," Bliss said and smiled gratefully at Terry. "Do you trust me?" She asked, it was always nice if people returned the trust and Bliss thought of herself as a kind, loyal and trust worthy person. She hoped he did trust her. She smiled at him as he returned her hug and she answered his question honestly, "I really do." And she really did. No question about it.
The expression of Bliss' face, the way she was looking at him, knowing he was about to strike increased the smirk that had fallen across Terry's face. He was ready and he knew that it was the best form of revenge that he could make. She burst out into giggles and the twelve year old cackled gleefully as he continued to tickle her sides. Everyone always had one spot where they were most ticklish and he was trying to find it. With him it was his feet, he hated it when people tickled him there but he just fell about laughing when they did. Bliss, it appeared had a tickle spot everywhere. “Told you I'd take revenge” he chuckled as she whined his name. She was now resting on his shoulder, trying to stop herself from laughing and he was laughing too. ”Do you think that's enough revenge for today?” he tried to raise one eyebrow but it wouldn't work so he stuck them both up instead. How come so many people could do that and he couldn't?
Good. She was going to do his washing for him. That worked out well because if it was down to Terry, all his clothes would be dirty and he'd have an angry mother when he came home, his suitcase full of filthy items. “Thanks” he grinned but then she appeared to change her mind and told him the spell instead. He pouted in protest but drew out his wand and practised waving it about. ”I think you should do it for me” he nodded firmly.
He was NOT scared of water! “I'm not avoiding it!” he protested and then splashed himself in the face with a handful. “Seeeee?” He just didn't want to get wet. He thought about her question. “We have Amadeus the Phoenix. And then Tilly's got a Kneazle and a Pygmy Puff. Our animals change, it depends what mum is looking after at the time.” They weren't all pets, some were acquantances whilst they were sick or injured.
“Yeah” he smiled at her question. He assumed that the smaller you were, the colder you got when the temperature took a turn. “The wind is cold, I guess it's making you colder than me.” He watched as she took the jacket from him and zipped it up over herself, smiling as she said her thank you. “Is that better?” he asked hoping that it would be. He had always found that the jacket kept the heat in very well but he had plenty more where that came from anyway.
He watched her intently as she sat up and hugged her knees. From the position he had sat in he could see both her and across the water. It was peaceful, quiet, if Bliss wasn't sat there he probably would've fallen asleep in an instant. “Good. It's okay to be sad but you shouldn't for no reason” Not that she didn't have a reason but he liked happy people, not sad. His expression changed into a warm smile when she told him that he trusted her. It was really heartwarming, to know that someone would willingly tell you their secrets and not hide away from you. ”Of course I do. You're pretty much my Best Friend Bliss.” He had made a few really good friends here, they were all special to him now and he was glad that he had come here. He was happy that she felt better now she'd let it all out. He didn't cry often, he rarely got angry or upset to be honest. He was an upbeat character, full of life and hoping to bring out the best in everyone. “Good. We should do something really fun to cheer you up.” What he did not know, but something must make her laugh more than anything else.
EEP! "Yeah I don' like snowstorms all thet much." he said shaking his head and blowing a raspberry again at his laughter. "Yer picturing me in pigtails now aren' ye?" he asked demanding. "I AM NOT ISSY!" he said glaring at Albie now. "Nope, never gonna respond te thet. And it is te a girlie name." Pfft, a lot she knew, Miss Albert. His mood was starting to go downhill with this new nickname.
"Nah, not really. We hit it off in Flourish and Blotts, but didn't start dating til like October." he replied shrugging. "Twas fun jus' bein' friends, but we started getting more serious around Christmas really." Yep, that was when he gave her a necklace!
Snorting he bit back laughter "No Almond's agreeing with stayin' out of this I think." Glancing Ed's way he had a look like 'is she for real???'

"Oh, so Nell and I beat you on the dating part?" He smirked at his best friend and nodded with a faked serious expression. "Was that when you realised it'd be easier to give presents if you were together?"
A scowl was shot at Isaac again as he called him Almond. "You're right. I am staying out of this, Issy."
Abby smirked at them both. Heh. Issy suited him and she was just going to stick with it, whether he liked it or not.
Anyway. MOVING ON. Abby got up and looked down at them both. "You guys want to do something fun?" She didn't know what but she really didn't feel like just talking. She wanted to do something exciting.. "You boys need to come up with something though." Something fun, that is. But then again, she didn't know what their definition of fun was..

The Headmistress had nice hair? Penelope shrugged. Yeah, she supposed it was nice. Very...red. "The house elves seemed to like it too." They'd kept calling her the Headmistress with red hair and stuff when they were delivering that plant thing to her at the feast. It had seemed like they used it a lot to Penelope, at least.
Be one? Be one what? A Headmistress? Or...prefect? Since it was their compartment they'd been talking about? Again Penelope shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe." She wouldn't really know now, would she? "What about you?" And then she nodded. Yes, her name was Penelope. Was there something shorter? "Depends on what that something shorter is." She'd grown pretty lenient towards nicknames over the past year or so, but she DID still refuse to go by "Penny." That one was still off-limits to everyone.

"They did?" West hadn't paid much attention to the house elves. Recently they were always under foot. The only house elf he talked to regularly was at home. Their elf Chaucer. And usually it was when Chaucer was telling him to wash behind his ears or something. The twelve year old dug around in his pocket and then extracted a chocolate frog, still in its wrapper. He held it up. "You want some?" On account of West was totally a sharer.
"Not a prefect. Theo's gonna be our boy prefect. And Cassia our girl prefect, on account of me and Theo think she's okay. And I'm gonna be Quidditch captain. Slytherin are SORTED. We're awesome." Clearly, West Odessa had goals. He tore the corner of his frog wrapper.
Hmmm what name? "Pen? Or Nel? Or Lo?" Those were all good and short. "Or Loppy."

At her clarification, Spike gave a sheepish shrug of his shoulders. "Trying to be useful, I guess," he said, his lips curling into a crooked grin. Though, perhaps conjuring a pillow might have been more practical? Or more appreciated? Unfortunately for Beezus, he didn't trust his wandwork that much.
The main thing was that she was okay. "No broken bones?" he queried, though he doubted it. She'd just said she was okay and wasn't screaming her head off...which probably meant that, yes, she was, in fact, okay. She was a tough girl - as evidenced by the fact she played Quidditch, and loved Spike's critters as much as he did. Evidence that she was no ordinary squeamish girl. But nevertheless, he wanted to check, just to be certain. She was probably a bit shaken up, finding herself laying on her best friend's older brother. "You can stay there for the moment if you'd like," he found himself saying, adjusting his shoulder to make it a less bony pillow, and gently brushing her hair out the way.
As she reached up to his face, Spike's heart pounded inside his near-naked chest. More noticeably though, his cheeks flushed with colour. "As long as you're sure," Spike replied, biting his lip. Emotions seemed to be jumping around right now - hovering between worry about what had happened, and enjoying the aftermath.
She was so close. He could just lean in and...
He blinked and wrinkled his nose, as she ruffled his hair and water flicked across his face. "You're giving up?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, the previous moment's thoughts now forgotten. "That easily?" His lips twitched upwards, her grin infectious. "I think we might have different definitions of 'drenched'..."
He was definitely useful alright. He just cushioned her fall. "Thanks Spikey." Like sincerely, if he wasn't there, she knew she must've hit her head with a rock or something. Figuratively, she was still alive because of his intervention. "So, how can I repay that good Samaritan deed?"
Nope. No broken bones. As far as she was aware of, the pains she had felt a bit earlier were slowly vanishing, and only her head now kept pounding. Beezus shook her head. "And you?" He must've had some injuries! He literally brushed his back against the ground and judging on that shirt he was wearing, it didn't provide much of a protection. "Are you hurt? I'm so sorry.." When he offered his shoulder to insulate her head, she didn't reject. Yeah, maybe that could help. Although...she was feeling more and more awkward as minutes trickled by. If someone saw this like this, they'd probably jump to conclusions. And just what would Indy say? Sigh. But they were just friends.
Oh, she was sure. She was okay. The person in question now was him.
Then he was returning her grin with one of his one. Just how they still manage to act like that after that life-threatening situation that just occurred, she didn't know. Matching his playful tone, Beezus removed her head from his shoulder and sat up straight as she faced the Prefect, "Different definitions? What do you mean?" Hmm.. "Are you implying that I need more soaking up to really get drenched?" Oh, if he was planning on throwing her in the Spring right now, she definitely would slap him.
A blush appeared in his cheeks, to complement his lop-sided grin. She'd called him Spikey. Not just Spike. Spikey. "No problemo," he said simply. As for repaying the deed? Spike waved his hand dismissively, and shook his head. "There's no need. I just -" couldn't bear to see you hurt, he bit his lip "- I, er, well, as long as you're okay, that's all that matters."
Spike looked down, past Beezus and to his bare stomach. His t-shirt was all bunched up at his chest, and he knew without looking that around his lower spine the rock had left it's mark on his bare skin. But she didn't need to know that. Not unless she saw later, but he was planning on pulling his top down as soon as he possibly could when they finally moved. Unlike others in the school, Spike wasn't one who particularly care for showing off his body. And who knows what Indy would think, if she stumbled across him topless with her bestie in tow. "No broken ribs," he confirmed, "So it's all good." And no need for her to feel sorry. Nuh-uh.
...and for the fact Spike might wonder what Indy would think, and that he knew it should be awkward the longer she was this close, he seemed to relax a bit. His heart was still pounding, and his face glowing warm, but it didn't seem to be as nervy now. What it was hinting at, Spike didn't know. But it felt more...natural now that she was here with him, like this, even though that really didn't make any sense. Maybe he should talk to Finn. He'd know. Finn knew everything.
Spike let out an "Oomph!" as Beezus sat up, her weight now mainly placed on his stomach. Though, he'd admit, it wasn't a bad view from here. He propped himself up on his elbows, his stinging back glad to be off of the rock, and grinned as he surveyed her. He nodded gently, his curls bouncing. "I'd say you'd only a little damp, right now," Spike said, his eyes twinkling. "Which means you haven't yet taken full advantage of the facilities." Nope, she'd just stolen some of the water from his clothes. And that didn't count.

"Okay then, why not," she laughed, slipping off her outer most layer and setting it on the grass beside her. "Armbands?" she asked, cocking her head to the side out of confusion. "What...sort of armbands do you mean?" Like a bracelet?
Cool...Kurumi supposed that one could say that being a prefect was cool...but she was going to dismiss that for now. "I'm a seventh year." Cue a slight frown. Just the word seventh was enough to make her start reflecting and thinking and...she really needed to stop.
"Well, nothing bad I don't think," she replied with a reassuring smile. The yearbook wasn't the Aparecium after all.
Okay?
Half of him wasn't expecting Kurumi to agree to this. And now that she HAD agreed, Theo wanted to go back on what he said. Did this mean HE had to go in there, too? But he couldn't swiiiiiim. "They're like floats that wrap around your arms. They stop people from drowning." Which did kind of help... Theo was still a hot mess in water, even with arm bands on. Le sigh. He tapped his foot on the floor, expecting his conjured up floats promptly.
"That's cool. I can't wait to be a seventh year." Particularly cos he was very much looking forward to his voice breaking and growing at least five inches taller. For a twelve year old, Theo still very much looked like an under-ten-kid... "Are you excited to graduate?" He asked, noticing her frown.
Nothing bad... hmm, he'd take her word for it. "But now that you've met me in the FLESH, you could write an extra paragraph about my awesomeness, right?" She was a prefect, so he guessed that she had those sort of privileges. And Theo needed more friends so this publicity would be MUCH appreciated.

Elise's eyes narrowed when she saw the steam that rose from the water's surface. It probably was a really hot spring. Rolling up her jeans so they wouldn't get wet, she put her bag down by a tree.
Oh, wait. Who was that? It was that Hufflepuff she met at the feast. Alex? Oh, right. Alec. With a C. Beaming widely, she flopped down on the grass next to him. "Hi, Alec!" she grinned. Noticing his feet in the water, Elise stretched her toe out a little and touched the surface of the water.
It was warm. So she slowly dipped her feet into the water and her grin widened. This was nice!
Alec leant back onto his elbows and looked up at the sky. It was a nice day, really. Just a bit cold. And even if his surname was named after the hottest season of the year, the young boy didn't really mind the cold. It was nice, especially when you had your feet dipped into hot water. He splashed his feet around a little, a small childish grin spreading across this face.
This was awesome!
But then someone flopped down on the grass next to him and he immediately stopped splashing. He didn't want to get water in the girl's eyes and he didn't want to come across as being childish or anything. After all, he was fourteen now! He was meant to be on the way to being like one of the cool, older guys. Yeah!
But hey! Wasn't this the girl he had met at the feast? On the Ravenclaw Table? And her name... Ellie? No... "Hey Elise!" GRIN! And... she still looked like someone he knew. Like... like Alice! But apart from their looks, Elise wasn't at all like Alice. Not really. Elise didn't carry around a big stick, did she? ... He hoped not!
"Erm... ice cream?" he asked, holding out the cup and spoon towards her. It was a bit cold for ice cream... but it did have hot fudge on it. And really, who didn't like ice cream?

Ta.
Ooooooooooh! Kurumi knew what those were. She hadn't used them in years, probably not since she was five or so. "We don't have to go somewhere deep enough for you to need those," Kurumi suggested. Kurumi had never literally swam in a hot spring before. The ones she had been to had all been shallow and only came up to your waist. "I'm not intending on going in very deep anyway." Assuming she actually did go in. She gave her feet another playful kick in the water. Still felt really good, just on her toes. Lewis would probably like it here too. She would have to bring him sometime.
Kurumi tried to smile for Theo, but it was hard when really all Kurumi wanted to do right now was get her hands on a time turner and go back in time so she wouldn't have to graduate right now. "I....I'm actually not sure if I am excited or not," Kurumi sighed lightly. Hogwarts was really...everything she knew. It was hard to imagine going somewhere else and...starting over. "I suppose I am excited to go to university...assuming I am accepted that is." She still had applications to attended to...EEK.
And NOW Kurumi was genuinely laughing. "I'll see what I can do," she replied with a wink. He was already getting a rather large picture in the yearbook - which was better than a paragraph if you asked Kurumi.
"So...you actually want to go in?" Or just hang out here on the side? She was really fine with either.

"Erm... ice cream?" he asked, holding out the cup and spoon towards her. It was a bit cold for ice cream... but it did have hot fudge on it. And really, who didn't like ice cream?
The grass was really soft this term, much softer than Elise remembered. It was almost like walking on silk! Or sitting on silk, since that's what she was doing. Sitting down. And soaking her legs in the water.
She had the strange urge to draw the scene, but her stuff was too far away for her to even bother. But she could sketch the scene in her head. 2B pencil for the basic sketch, lighter shades in HB and darker ones in 4 and 6B. Outlines in 8B. Totally black and white. Artists called it Chiaroscuro. Light and Shade.
She was kinda spaced out when Alec greeted her, and somehow heard it as 'Hey, Alice'. Turning her head around sharply, she giggled when she realized that he was talking to her. Silly goose. "Most people call me El or Ellie, you know?" she grinned. Except the ones she didn't like.
Elise grinned, taking the spoon and a small bit of ice cream, avoiding the fudge entirely. Putting the spoon back inside, she sloshed her legs a little in the water. Slosh, slosh. "It's really nice," she grinned. "But I'm allergic to the chocolate."
It seriously sucked, and Elise had yet to make the potion. Bt she'd promised Melon that they'd do it together.
Addy WAS nervous, but she was containing it all. She had to. Either way this whole thing went she was okay with it. SHE WAS. Hearing his first comment she couldn't help but chuckle. "Trust me when I say neither did I." Truth.
She chewed vigorously on her lip as he began to speak once more. She would hate it if he got up and ran off, but she had just blindsided him with things she herself didn't even understand. Heh. However, she could not help but smile as he said she amused him... and how he liked her curiosity. It was not until he took her hand that she looked at him properly though. "That is probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever said to me that wasn't required to say nice things, anyway." Like her parents and such. Heh.
Entwining her fingers with his, she scooted a little closer and lay her head on his shoulder. It just felt RIGHT. "I don't know, either. But maybe we can figure it out together?"
Nathan smiled when she finally turned to look at him.
"I was just being honest," he replied - giving her hand a small squeeze. He was. Nathan was nothing if not honest. And he wasn't lying to her either when he said he wasn't completely sure how he felt. But her proposal didn't seem too bad, either.
So he nodded, liking the gesture of her interwining her fingers with his. "I suppose .. we can," he agreed. He couldn't help but move a strand away from her face when she lay her head on his shoulder. ".. well. I should probably take these walks at the crack of dawn more often .." he chuckled, lightly.
Indeed. He certainly had no idea his morning would go like this.

"No, actually there used to be a duck pond here," Emmanuelle replied, splashing her feet in the water a little. The sudden appearance of a hot spring where a duck pond use to be did seem a little odd to her, considering all that she had learned in science class, but she supposed that with magic, anything was actually possible. Besides, the water didn't seem to be doing any harm, so...
"What year are you?" She was curious. She had only meet a grand total of one fellow seventh year, and that didn't seem to be changing anytime soon. Oh, well.
"A duck pond?" she asked with a laugh. As she looked out at the hot spring, she imagined it filled with ducks quacking and swimming and walking around in their little straight lines of ducklings. Now, though, the hot spring was filled with students enjoying the warm water. With a half-frown, she said, "Well, I think they probably had a lot fewer couples splashing around in the duck pond..." Honestly, it was pretty lonely to watch them... or to see all the couples around Hogwarts in general. Seemed like EVERYONE was dating someone.
"Oh... I'm a third year. How about you?" Sutton responded, knowing that her new?friend had to be a few years older.
