This corridor provides the lone passage into the Courtyard. Reminiscent of the cloisters popular during its construction, this hallway has numerous windows to allow in sunshine and fresh air, as well as niches under said openings that are perfect for a study nook or a place to have a semi-private conversation.
"Dora." She supplied, not responding or acknowledging his other comment. Since when did she ever when it wasn't coming from certain people? Never. Placing her hands on the nook, she leaned over his legs to take a peek up at the sky. He would just have to be in the way cause she wasn't gonna waste time asking him to move.
Yup, she was right. It was gonna rain.
"You are, but that's okay. It's gonna rain you know. Might want to find a better place to sit or else you'll get soaked." Dora turned to him, expression both helpful and studious. "Who are you?"
Smirk. Dora. Nice name, nice face. Way to go new person. Right now she was gaining all of the points from him. But before he could even reply about how nice her name was or whatever other line he could come up with... she was leaning over him and looking out the nook. Hey, hey. His face was HERE. THIS was where she should be looking. He was nice to look at. Yep.
And then she was just talking to him and being all weird and not complimenting his face. Was she broken? That was unfortunate if she was because of reasons. Poor thing. Throwing on a smirk, though, and tossing her a wink, he said, "I'll take my chances, gorgeous. And I'm Ascanius." Weird name. Yeah, he knew.

Dora frowned thoughtfully staaaaared at his face.
Was there something wrong with his face? "Are you alright?" Was it like a twitch or something? It would be rude to comment on it further, wouldn't it? Hmm. She settled back down on her feet and faced him properly, leaning against the side of the nook. "You'll get soaked, I hope you know a drying charm." Unless he was intent on getting soaked to the bone, then she supposed the charm wouldn't be needed.
"Ascanius. That's different. I'll still use it though, if you use my name." Pause paaaause. "It's Dora, in case you didn't catch it the first time." She was so helpful, repeating herself for this perfect stranger who was apparently unable to stop stating the obvious. And easily distracted.

SPOILER!!: OWL and BOY

There!
Herj swooped down and landed by the boy person, setting the package and attached letter on the ground.
"Hoo." And then he flew off, not bothering to stick around for a reward in case there wasn't one. He'd rather go back home where he knew he'd get his well-deserved chocolate frog reward.
He had a Herbology Textbook?? If he did, it was probably collecting dust somwhere at the bottom on his trunk, it was probably even further down it now too since he cast the expansion charm on it to fit a lot more of his belongings in it. "Thank you Ma'am. I'll see if I can find my textbook. before coming back to you, or checking to see if Professor Bentley has anything on them too." If he could brave the Greenhouse to get to her office.
Oakey kept his mouth quiet as she then told him that he shouldn't be afraid, show them who's boss and what not. "I don't mean to tak up more of your time, and umm well if I could Apol..."...What AH! An Eagle Owl was coming at him! Was it Valentine? Merlin had he forgotten to get his Owl's squeeky toy before leaving from home! Oh he was gonna get it now! Oakey flinched slightly before the Eagle Owl landed on the ground beside him, dropped off a package, then before Oakey could do anything else, left.
He looked down at the package sitting by his feet then to the Headmistress...was this for him or her? He leaned down and read the package. OH IT WAS FOR HIM, and IT WAS FROM KURUMI!
HOLY HOUSE ELVES BATMAN! Did she make him cookies without him asking? Or did he ask her for something and completely forget? He lifted the box up, ripped the packaging off, and opened the lid...His eyes widened at the weird looking statue. That thing was super creepy, and it's pure white eyes really didn't help. He read the letter and was slightly more relieved to see that it had meaning even if it scared the pants off him.
Look Kurumi Cookies right underneath the letter, and they were shaped like Moose. Heh, leave it to her to remember HisPatronusWasaMoose. He did shoot his first one directly at her.
Right the Headmistress was still here. What was he saying to her before?
He would see if he could find his textbook. The Headmistress held back a cluck of disapproval for the boy's disorganization, as he looked like he was about to switch the gears of conversation, when they were suddenly startled by the interruption of an owl. Bloody owls! They were only supposed to deliver packages at mealtimes! Now she really was wearing an expression of disapproval.
Annie tried not to peek too obviously at who the letter was from. Hmph. Person was sending him cookies. How inconsiderate. And look, Oakey was now completely distracted from their conversation. She should be going anyway, since it looked as though it might rain.
"Well Mr. Gunter, I'll just leave you to your --- to yyour----," the redhead shook her head as just then a breeze rolled in, causing a bit of late autumn dander to tickle her nose in the perfect manner appropriate for a sneeze, "---your AAAAAAAACHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The sneeze went all over Oakey's owl package and likely got a few drops on his shirt as well. Annie shook her head and tried to stifle a second sneeze from coming, succeeding for the most part as she pressed her hand to the bottom of her nose. She dug a handkerchief out of her pocket and dabbed at her face politely with it, then held out her hand for the boy to shake.
"Sorry about that. As I was saying, I hope my tips helped you. Let me know if you'd like some practice around dangerous plants as well. I'm sure Professor Bentley would be willing to help you conquer your fear and if not, well I did use to teach the subject." She offered the boy a not unkind smile, still waiting for him to shake her sneezed-upon hand goodbye.

Right he was mid apology to the Headmistress for the other day. The Kurumi Cookies, and weird Daruma thingy took his mind off of things. He returned his attention to Truebridge just in time to get slightly sneezed on. He couldn't say the same for his cookies. It's like she just instantly claimed all of Kurumi's hard work for herself. He hadn't seen what the Headmistress had done with the hand she extended but Oakey took in his and shook. "They did Ma'am." Oakey released his hand from hers and took hold of his box again. "I'll take you up on that offer, If I see Professor Bentley I'll let her know as well. I'm sure she'll be just as happy to get me over my fear too." She certainly seemed annoyed by it during each of the classes, that's for sure. "Oh Ummm, If you'd like you can take the cookies, as an apology for the other day...I don't really eat sweets anyways."Besides, eating the cookies covered in germs was not something he was going to do.

Annie was rather oblivious to where all her germs had gone. She just sneezed so rarely, why, she had no idea what to do when germs actually did come out! Oh well, Oakey shook her hand anyway and the redhead turned to head back up to the castle.
"Glad to hear that," she added with a parting nod, pausing only when he offered her cookies. "Oh how sweet of you! Apology accepted!" the redhead bubbled, clapping her germy hands together. "But I couldn't indulge in those either, as kind as the gesture is. It looks like they were made just for you, anyway." She gave the boy a generous wink and then really did leave, finally. Woman needed to wash her hands.

Did he have something on his face? Blink. Oh right, of course he did, it was called attractive. He knew that, psh. Well then, she could stare all she liked, yeah? He had time and apparently so did she if she was just hanging out here and staring at him.
"I'm fine, gorgeous," Strange question from a strange, but nice looking lass. And then she adjusted some more so that, from what he could tell, she could get comfy. Awesome. So they were gonna chill and chat come hell or high water, which was ironic because of rain reasons. "And I'll be fine." He looked good no matter what the weather.
Yeah, it was different. He knew that, but it was better then Penelope's boyfriend he supposed. Because he got that more then he liked, so all the time. Anyway, "I caught your name, beautiful. I knew it was Dora." Chuckle. He hadn't forgotten after all.

Brilliant, now he was left with headmistress germ covered cookies. He looked down at the cookies and back at the Headmistress just as she winked at him and left...creepy.
He lifted his hand up and scratched the back of his neck before sitting back down on the corridor floor. he reached into the box again pushing past the cookies and pulled out the weird 'daruma' figure Kurumi sent him. He turned it around in his hands...creepy.

He'd be wet soon. She glanced around briefly to make sure that she wasn't before looking back at him. Yup, she was fine. But this one... Ascanius. He was interesting. He was pretty and all but it was mostly overshadowed by both his refusal to use her actual name and his stating the obvious.
"So." SO. "You know my name, but you refuse to use it. And you've over expressed the fact that I look extremely good." She crossed her arms and tapped her chin thoughtfully with her forefinger. "You're weirder than your name. Do you even know how to hold a proper conversation, Ascanius?" Because he was failing so far.

Of COURSE he could hold a real conversation. He was doing it right now. Sure, she might have been distracted by his compliments, but they weren't untrue. Pfft. Ascanius Stark was trying to be nice and charming and gain some points with the ladies. No need for her to ask if he was socially deficient, which he wasn't.
More blinking. "Um.." Regain composure, Stark. So he threw a smirk on and shrugged, "I can hold a conversation, Dora." Heh. Name use. Bam. "But, to be fair, all you've done so far, beautiful, is give me your name, tell me I'm gonna get wet... and insult my name." Who was socially deficient now?
Maybe he was taking this wrong. But he was charming, mmk?

It was a ridiculously pretty day - blue skies without a single cloud and just the slightest nip to the air that spoke of fall and probably rain in the evening. The courtyard was filling with leaves blown over the wall, which gave them a sort of red-orange-brown carpet underfoot. It was just cold enough that Mo figured the benches would chill them right through, so he brought a blue afghan from his dormitory and juried up a picnic.
And he hadn't been forced to pay for access to this spot either. Mo set stacked plates on the blanket, and then, because he was too antsy to sit around and wait, he walked around the perimeter of the courtyard.
One lap. Two laps. Four laps. One jogged lap. Two jogged laps. Ten jogged laps. Wonder how many laps made a mile, anyway.

Nice weather. Good for curry, Alice decided. But just in case it took a turn for the worst and got all wet and soggy, she had her sweater on. "Why're you doing laps, Cactus? We're picnicking now, not training." Vivi was the only one who was supposed to work him to the bone, right? She gave him a curious look or two and eyed the blue afghan he'd spread across the ground before joining him in jogging around the perimeter of the courtyard.
"You invited me out for a meal of curry and we're having a running day instead," she informed Mo, still running alongside of him. Alice could do this for hours, did he know? She sped up and cut him off, jumping in front of him and getting in the way.
'Cause if he didn't know that either, she could outrun him, too.

Mo jogged a half a lap beside Alice without comment, but when she planted herself in front of him, he pulled up short with a grin. So she was showing off that she was faster, or else she really hated running before dinner. As usual, Mo wasn't sure what the moral of the story was when it came to Alice.
Funny, but he still preferred her that way. "Just passing the time while I waited. I'm not great at sitting still sometimes. Probably should be more worried about that, huh?"
But he wasn't. That was a parent thing to worry about, not a thing for a 14-year-old boy. He hooked Alice's arm, hoping he didn't smell much like sweaty teenage boy as he led her back to the afghan. "Totally honesty is expected here. If you hate it, just 'fess up immediately so we can stop eating it." But it had smelled really good when he made it in the kitchen, so Mo had high hopes.

Appearing swiftly at your side is a light that, after not too long, manifests itself in the shape of a silvery roadrunner. It runs circles around you and your companion for a few moments to grab your attention - assuming it hadn't done so already.
Flicking its long tail feathers up and down enthusiastically, the patronus begins to speak to you in a voice that is without a doubt belonging to your Astronomy professor.
"Miss Fischer. Could you please come see me in my office when you have a moment? Cheers."
With another flick of its tail feathers and a few more circles, the roadrunner scampers off and vanishes from sight.

What was with boys and leading her places? Alice honestly didn't have problems walking in a certain direction without assistance, really. Her brain sent messages to her legs and told them which way to move, see? No one actually needed to LEAD her anywhere. She knew where the afghan was, thank you. But she didn't actually mind that much, so she let herself be led over to the blanket before sitting down crosslegged and giving him expectant looks.
"If it's awful, I will tell you," she assured him seriously, nodding her head in earnest. "If it's decent, I will also tell you." And if it was excellent, she would probably be spending too much time eating to tell him anything.

.. Aireyhead wanted her?
His patronus was a roadrunner? That was kind of funny, especially the tail feather flicking. She could see the professor doing that, if he had tail feathers. What would he look like with tail feathers? Could he, like, weave a tie in between them? He'd make for some bird, most definitely. Alice watched it go, but turned back to Mo almost immediately. He could wait, she was busy with curry, see?

Or maybe he WAS getting better at knowing the puzzle-that-was-Alice, because she certainly had an air about her of not enjoying the chivalric behavior. His mum insisted on offering an arm to a lady, but perhaps his mum's rules for manners were only suited for grandmothers and great-aunts and NOT for Alices. Something to think about.
But not now, since now was for dinner. Mo paused as they were interrupted by a beckoning from the Astronomy professor, which Alice kindly dismissed. That was a good friend - willing to make a professor wait until after dinner. "So we have several courses here," Mo sprawled on his side of the blanket, spreading out the stacked dishes so he could open each one in turn. "Chicken curry. Very spicy. Jasmine rice. And naan. Flatbread." He'd had to get help from the house elf on that one, but it was warm and thick and soft which were all the things bread should be. "And lemonade instead of tea, because of the very spicy." Mo put portions of the food on one of the plates (he brought plates and utensils!) and handed it over to Alice before serving himself.

She didn't look up, but she could tell that the sky was darkening from dark clouds rolling in. Rain was gonna happen any moment, that was for certain. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to visit the creatures professor now. But at least she had this boy here to keep her entertained. She focused her thoughts back on him his smirky expression.
"I didn't insult your name, or I wasn't intending to at least." Nothing was wrong with a weird name. She shrugged. "And I've done more than that. I've requested you use my name, and you've only done that once. I've also warned you about the rain, but you've yet to move." Totally different than telling him he was gonna get wet.
But if he was gonna make her start the conversation then FINE. "You're in my year, right? And you're new. You like it here, Ascanius?" See how she used his name? She expected the same in return.

With nostrils flared and milky-white eyes bulging in their sockets, the spooked Thestral slowed its quick pace as it slipped into the shelter of the corridors. It's tattered mane was whipped into a frenzy and it's hindquarters quivered in fear.

Jory was walking along the Pathway, thinking about having a dish of ice cream when he suddenly became aware of something just ahead of him. He could see nothing but that feeling he got, as if someone hidden were watching him.
"Must be imagining things,'' the badger thought. Who could be possibly be watching him? He approached the spot without giving it a second though. That was...until he was quite sure he heard breathing. Was it one of the ghosts? But they don't exactly breathe do they? "Er...who's there?'' Jory called out.

Lex was skipping down the corridor on her way back to the castle after what was yet another useless trip to the lake. SIGH. Maybe she'd just never meet the Giant Squid. No, she wasn't giving up but at the same time she was hungry and could have gone for some more ice-cream.
As she skipped she came across something strange, strange only because she'd never seen them outside of the forest before. And that boy...Jory was it?
She walked over to the two figuring a certain badger had some explaining to do. "Hey dude, how'd you sneak a thestral so far?" She asked as a casual greeting because 'hi's were overrated.
Then her attention turned to the seemingly shaken creature. Slowly, cautiously, she reached a hand toward it but didn't dare touch it until she received some reaction. "You alright...you seem a bit...shaken..." And VERY MUCH out of place.

Wandering down towards the grounds, Penelope was heading for the courtyard and then possibly out onto the grounds if it wasn't too cold. She was hoping to get some flying in outside of Quidditch practice. Just a little while where she could just fly around without worrying about throwing a Quaffle or catching a snitch. But when she reached the corridor that led to the courtyard, she paused.
Was that a thestral? In here? Was she seeing things or...? But no, there was Alexa and a Hufflepuff there too, and Alexa at least seemed to be able to see it too. So Penelope couldn't be imagining things. There was indeed a thestral here. A very scared looking one.
"Hey, what's going on here?" she asked as she approached carefully, glancing between her two fellow students and the creature.

Raising its head, alarmed, the Thestral stared down at the humans.
Slowly, he lowered his head and sniffed in the direction of the smaller girl before turning away. Taking a few more steps away from the forest and closer to the castle, the Thestral bowed its head even lower. It wasn't going anywhere.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
Daichi decided to get out of the castle for a few hours. It was a free day and he didn't want to spend time to study at the moment. But, just in case , he still had his schoolbag with him though and a book was in his hands in case he DID want to study something.
And he just realized how much of a Ravenclaw he just sounded... mweh.
Stepping in to the corridor to the courtyard, the first thing he noticed was the commotion going on. And after checking if his Prefect badge was pinned right to his uniform he steppped forward.
"What's going on here?" he asked as he looked from the students to.... He nearly dropped his textbook upon seeing a thestral (yes, the poor kid can see them) stepping towards the castle."Well...thats something new" A threstral in the castle he meant of course.

Oichi was heading out to study in the courtyard when she saw a Slytherin boy who looked affright about something. She approached him and said, "Are you alright, is there something wrong?".

It wasn't that Daichi was afraid of the Thestral. He was simply shocked to see one of them at the castle instead of the forbidden forest and he wondered what it was doing here.
Mweh, he wished he could speak animal languages so that he could ask the horse itself.
Hearing a voice beside him, the Prefect turned his head to look at the girl who looked around his own age and nodded. "Yes, yes i'm fine" he answered and waved his free hand because the other was still holding his textbook.
Oh? she couldn't see the thestral? Daichi felt jealous at that. He pointed to where the creature was standing and said; "There's a thestral right there...which is odd, don't you think?"

Another set of footsteps alerted her to more company in the corridor. There was no need to take her eyes off the thestral (for caution reasons mostly) so she kept her eyes locked on the creature and waited for whoever it was to speak.
OH PENELOPE!!
For a brief second she glanced at the girl and gave her a smile before fully focusing once again. "I really don't know. This thestral found it's way over here, seems dead scared--or cold--with all the shaking it's doing." Probably more scared though by the looks of it. Her smile at the creature grew when it moved to sniff her hand but it dimmed some when it suddenly looked away and went on walking.
"Are you trying to get to the castle then?" She asked it curiously, following after it once more. Thestrals liked the forest, leaving it could mean just about anything. It was hiding from something OR it was looking for something and that something could be in the castle. She raised a pointed finger toward the castle. "There? Are you trying to get there? We could take you." It'd be quite simple, she didn't imagine many people could see these so sneaking it in would be easy work.
Lex gestured towards the castle once more. This time with a motioning action, beckoning it there because she wanted a pet thestral, yup yup yup.
