Lucas EYED the statue cautiously. It was weird, was about as much as he could surmise. Weird and creepy and why did anyone think this woman with awful bad posture deserved a STATUE?

He huffed. Hogwarts was SO weird sometimes.

Robin was exploring. Yes, she, the timid study worm, was exploring. She had put her fears of getting lost behind her and had decided to explore the castle- her parents would have been flabbergasted. She had heard 5th years talking about a humped witch statue and she had thought they were just being sarcastic- who would make a statue of a humped witch? Coming around the bend however her mouth popped open in surprise when indeed there was a humped witch statue and yes, it was hideous. She noticed Lucas staring at the statue and came up behind him, not really trying to startle him, but not making her presence known either, she wanted to see how it played out. She folded her arms and looked up at the statue.
"You'd think they'd at least try to make her look good, for memory's sake at least"

It was a very strange experience to have someone breathe behind you when you were staring at the humpback of a prehistoric warlock. Every single hair on his neck stood to attention until the breather spoke.

WELL THANK MERLIN IT WASNT HER GHOST OR SOMETHING.

"I think she looked exactly like that," Lucas replied, turning to face Robin. The Gryffindor BEAMED. "HEEEEEY ROBIN. Have you been following me?" he asked with a laugh. "Or is she perhaps related to you?" GRIN. The resemblance was UNCANNY. Not.

Robin tried not to laugh. She swore she tried so SO hard not to laugh, she didn't want to be rude or anything, but nontheless a giggle still slipped out against her will seeing how shocked Lucas looked- it reminded her vaguely of a startled cat.

"HEEEEEEEEEY LUCAS" Robin copied the greeting and then grinned at the accusation "Don't you wish~ I was exploring the castle..and I decided to come here because of my love for disfigured witch statues" She added in sarcasticly , giving a tentative look toward the statue.
"You don't think she heard me right?" If it moved a centimeter she'd be out of there faster than the speed of light.
She stuck her tongue out at Lucas' teasing.
"No we are not- how about you? She could have your tall genes if her back straightened out" she grinned back.

Homework. Studying.
Avoid at all costs.

That was Jun's plan today. Or at least get some out of the way. Plus, he was always tired because of the aging thing. He had finally uncharmed his hair and just let it be the gray color it had become. even though he had charmed it gray to cover up the little grays he had. He wandered the corridors, not really paying attention where he even ended up. Like this time, it was the statue of the humped back witch. Well then.

Approaching the statue, he noticed that redhead he hadn't seen in a while. Probably busy with homework, classes and quidditch practice. Grinning, he approached and greeted her. "Hey red, long time no see," Jun carefully sat down next to her. Were those notes she was studying?

Ew.

Adelaide opened her eyes at the sound of a very familiar voice. She gave him a slight smile. "I know." She frowned once she realized how old he was looking. Dang. A lot of people were really catching this thing then.

"You look awful." Like so awful he probably shouldn't have just sat on the ground with her.

"Gee thanks," Jun sighed. Yes, he looked awful. No need to point it out, Addi. Maybe he shouldn't have uncharmed his hair. But at least the other gray color didn't look so bad on him. It didn't make him look as old. But the wrinkles didn't help the case either. "Lucky you didn't catch it. It's been such a pain having this aging thing," He pulled at his face. And it was true. Aching bones and joints. tiredness all the time. Losing his memory. It was a lot more effort keeping up with this than with classes and homework.

"Whatcha up to? Studying?" Because he would burn up her book right now.

"No problem." She smiled slightly. Hanging out with some of her fellow Slytherins was causing the sarcasm to rub off on Adelaide a little bit. She frowned. "I feel awful for you guys and I couldn't imagine what you're going through." Especially the quidditch players. She had to give them major props for even trying to play in the matches in their state.

Addi nodded and looked at her book. "Transfiguration." Not that she really needed to. Wand work being one of her strong suits. "I've been putting off a lot of studying late." Which was very uncharacteristic of her.

Im the worst so sorry
 

Lucas eyed her as the look of unadulterated glee settled on her face. "No fair, you TOTALLY snuck up on me. So rude," he muttered without any sort of venom. In fact, he beamed at her. "Long time no see. How are you liking school, then?"

Disfigured witch love? Lucas burst out in laughter. "She's very upset you said that," he muttered, leaning heavily on the statue. Ew. She kind of smelled. "I don't know, I think she just frowned at you. I think she's quite pretty. Look at her glow-y skin and all!" In truth, she looked very much like a diseased corpse.

"We're both too pretty to be related to her," he conceded after a long beat.

Jun huffed. Totally unfair that Addi hadn't caught the stupid bug thing of aging. Gray hair would've done nicely for her new haircut. Though quidditch must've been hard. For any of the players who caught it too. Jun could only imagine all the extra broken bones on the field. Hopefully the healer would be paid extra for all the work she has to put in now. Hospital wing was probably crowded as well. "You're one of the lucky ones who didn't catch it. Your bones don't break from getting out of bed!" Which is why he's missed classes too. Too much effort there.

"Oh? Too exhausted from quidditch or baking?" Because she did those both too much. A nap would be nice. Speaking of which, Jun felt like he needed one too.

Addi frowned. "Is it really that bad?" Because if it was, Jun should be in the hospital wing and not out walking around. Not to mention excused from having to go to classes. It probably didn't help that he lived up in Ravenclaw tower.

Adeladie giggled. "Yes and no. I just really haven't felt like it. Which is really odd for me. Just ask my house mates. I had a book glued to my hands last term." And not just because it was OWLs year. She just loved it.

"You have no idea," And sitting down on the hard ground was probably a bad idea. He'd have to ask Addi to either help him up or drag him back up to the tower. Helping him back up would probably be best for her. No one would really drag another person up to those annoying, and far away towers. The students who lived there didn't even like heading up.

Jun nodded. "Ah, bookworm. I read once in a while, when I can't bother to do other things," Which was a lot lately. So Jun just stayed in the dorm and read all the books he could. But today he just needed to stretch his legs out.

Addi frowned. "Have you asked healer for anything for joint pain?" There had to be potions or things out there. They had medications in the muggle world. Maybe she could have her mom send a big bottle and start giving it to the old people. She'd remember that the next time she owled...even if that still weirded them out.

"Yeah. I was kind of bullied in muggle school and left out of everything so all I had was books." Her library back home was pretty expansive. "So if you never want anything and the library here doesn't have it, I probably do so just ask."

Jun shook his head. "My brother sent me some pain killers that take down some of the swelling too," He looked at his knees and ankles. Too bad the medicine only made the pain and swelling go away for a few hours. Maybe seeing the healer wasn't such a bad idea. But Jun never really liked doctors, no matter how many times he broke a bone, they still argued not to go.

Ugh, bullies. Jun knew plenty about those. Even if his main bully was his own cousin. But hopefully the pan to the face would fix him up. "I don't understand bullies. Like what's the point on picking on someone who's done nothing to you?" Because those types of people just needed to disappear. Jun grinned. "Thanks, I'll keep that in mind,"

Addi nodded. "At least you're getting something. But stuff the healer has might last a bit longer." She knew muggle stuff didn't last more than a few hours, even if they were helpful at the time.

"My thoughts exactly." That was the main reason she never tried to fit in with them. There really was no point to trying and reasoning with them. Most of them were fairly dimwitted as well. She smiled and nodded.

"Most likely, but healers and doctors aren't really my thing. No matter how many times I've been to the hospital," That was always a no. Same for going to the water, besides showers. Yeah, don't plan on swimming anytime soon. Not even during summer. Maybe if he had floaties or something.

Jun nodded. "They're a waste of time. They just need to go bother themselves or something," Because bullies were useless wherever you put them. Even with their own kind.

Was Lux going blind?

Surely she had to be, because... since when did Hazel Carmichael go to Hogwarts? o_O

Not sure if she was dreaming or not, she slowly made her way over to where the girl was sitting by herself with a sketchbook. Yes, that was definitely Hazel, because her friend always was drawing.

Taking a seat beside her, she tried to see what Hazel was drawing. "Hello!!" hehehe.

Addi frowned a bit, biting her lip. "How come?" Maybe that was too intrusive, but she was curious. Every doctor she'd ever visited had been so nice and caring. Sure hospitals were awful, but the people usually weren't.

"I think they're just bored." Adelaide wasn't defending them in the slightest, but it was her reason behind it. Nothing better to do with their pathetic lives.

Jun shrugged. Maybe it was like his fear of water or something. "Maybe I just get uneasy around them. I mostly just go for broken bones, nothin too serious or life threatening," And he would forever be grateful for that. Even if breaking a bone felt like he was about to die. But I would be healed in a few weeks and then physical therapy. Either way, it was all a hassle.

He nodded. "There are always other ways to entertain yourself. I like to entertain myself with games, kissing, or singing and dancing," It always killed time. And kissing was probably Jun's favorite way to kill time.

"If that's all it is, at least you could learn the charm for that. So you can fix yourself." Benefits of knowing magic. She'd already started practicing incantations of the ones she'd found. And she'd done simple cuts and bruises after quidditch matches. Practice, practice, practice.

Adelaide laughed. "Those are all the ways I like to entertain myself, but replace games with books and movies." Because her movie library was about as expansive as her book one. She did miss kissing though. Sigh. Worst part about being boyfriendless.

"If I broke bones here, then no problem. But where I'm currently living, everyone's a muggle but me. Well, dad's a squib but no help there," And it was a sad thing. But Jun never really cared if his dad was a squib. It didn't make him love him any less. He'd still care about his dad even if he were able to do magic. But at least the boy ended up with magic and sent to this school. And now his parents wanted to transfer him out.

Jun grinned. "Books and movies for me too! Especially Disney movies," The boy had always loved Disney movies. Especially Peter Pan because he always wanted to fly. And now he can.
