This was amazing, Emmylou was still in awe and shock at how Kace had set this all up for them. He was perfect. Wait, TEN MONTH ANNIVERSARY. GULP. Emmylou scratched her head, she had forgotten their anniversary. Now that she was at Hogwarts she was forgetting everything. This school was making her lose her memory. The third year couldn't believe that she was forgetting this and her planned day with Lux and Cinnamon. She had to make sure that Kace wouldn't find out that she forgot about their ten months together. Had it really been ten months already? O_O "Just a little bit to fancy?" Emmylou giggled. She liked fancy but she knew that sometimes things were to fancy and this wasn't one of those times. She knew that anything French was too fancy. Emmylou clanked her glass against his and smiled before taking a sip. Then she got a kiss! Emmylou smiled as she kissed him back softly. "Those look really yummy." Or she was just really hungry.

Kace shrugged when Emmy admitted it was a little too fancy. "Well i wanted to do something a little special. But this is it I swear." he said holding up his hands. After he finished his salad, he reached into the basket for the next meal. "Well do dig in.." he offered to her. He saw the hunger in her eyes. He may of heard her stomach growl but he smiled it off.

But if she thought this was too fancy. He smirked even more and said, "I mean what i am gonna do with these simple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" he asked him showing her he went with simple. See? He didn't wanna show off too much. He wanted to take things nice and simple. He knew Emmy like that. "I mean I hope you like PB&J..." he said eating his sandwich.

For Liam/ Angel ^_^
 

Adi had almost finished the book on hippogriffs he has been reading for the past few days. He decided he would finish it at the edge of the Lake but something had drawn him towards the beech tree instead.

The Puffer decided there couldn't be a better place to finish his book. So, without further ado, he sat down under the shade of it big branches, leaned against the huge trunk, opened his book and got to reading.

Right! So it wasn't only her. She'd been worried that she was turning into one of those whiny and constantly complaining ones, but it wasn't only her so yeah, she wasn't turning into one. Not yet or fully at least."Even the library isn't that quiet all the time," She herself when she got there couldn't remember not running into someone she knew where she ended up chatting leaving whatever book she had left untouched. "I don't need to be told twice," she grinned at him nudging the bag an inch away.

PERU! That got her all excited.

"Oh, it was great!" she said angling her body so that she could look at him. "Well, most of it," Since there were parts where she regretted going but those didn't last long and now that it was over she luckily could mostly remember the good parts.

Where to start, though?! She considered starting from the very start where the group met but she figured that that would be one heck of a long story that wouldn't be finished now and that she might have to keep talking until they had to go back to the common room and stay up late and maybe even pause and continue telling it the next day. That definitely would be boring for Theo, although, her friend never expressed annoyance by her chatty nature. She was sensible and decided to tell the most exciting and worthy things. "We encountered Trolls!" Was that not epic?!

Vinnie smiled as the girl turned to look at her. She closed her book and crossed her legs, maybe this wouldnt be too bad. „Sometimes sticking to your own thoughts is the easiest way to escape the world“, she nodded,“ at least for a bit.“ Did that sound weird?! It probably did...after all she was the weird one.

The brunette tried to remember if she'd seen the other girl before...but nothing. She probably wasnt a Slytherin...or maybe not in the common room a lot.“ Fifth and you?“ There was no need to tell her house, in this weather it was quite obvious. It was good the houses were healthy rivals now, why limit your choice of possible friends. Sometimes opposites attracted. So it didnt really matter what house the other one was in, but it was always interesting.

„Still“, Vinnie said,“ i didnt mean to make you feel uncomfortable.“ It was just so nice to sit under the beech tree.

Angel was walking around the grounds when she suddenly saw Adi, the mean puff as she was now calling him, "Adi?" Adi sighed, she wished that Adi would tell her what was going on. "Adi? Have I upset you at all?" Adi wished that her friend would tell her what she had done to upset him.

Adi had not heard when the voice called out to him the first time such was his concentration on his book. But he did hear his name the second time around. Looking up, he blinked at the face looking back at him. Her. The Best Friend Thief. What did she want with him?

"Don't you have somewhere else to be? Like hanging out with Benny?'' the third year asked, now looking back down at his book and frowning. His tone wasn't as it had been that day at the Willow. Instead he was speaking in a resigned tone. Yep. He was resigned to the fact that Benny liked hanging out more with Angel now.

Adi shrugged. "Doesn't matter anymore.'' Now leave him alone.

Angel looked at Adi. "I like hanging out with other people as well." Angel pouted as she looked at Adi, she thought they were friends and he had been nice to her before, but now he was acting like someone who had lost something and was blaming her for it, but she couldn't figure out what.

"Adi if I did something wrong, I want to know." Angel gave him her best puppy dog eyes. "Please, I don't like you being angry with me." Okay so if Benny was angry with her then she would be heartbroken but Adi was still a friend.

Adi continued to stare at his book, pretending to read but actually he wasn't seeing the words on the page. Angel being here brought up memories of the occurrence at the Willow and that wasn't something he wanted to think about. He didn't want to think about either Angel nor Benny and that was the reason he was spending most of his time alone, his head buried in a book.

"I'm not angry with you. Not anymore,'' Adi said in the same resigned voice. "But if you really want to know then listen. You're hanging out with my best friend so much that I don't get to hang out with him anymore.'' There. Now the first year knew the reason he had been annoyed for the past few days.

Angel looked at Adi as he spoke, and then blushed. "I'm sorry Adi." Angel sighed as she felt a tear coming down her face. "I didn't mean to steal your best friend from you." Angel just wanted to spend time with Benny. "I just like spending time with him, though I also like spending time with you, maybe all three of us can have a play date." Angel sighed, wondering if that would make Adi happy or even more mad with her.

Oh no. Not again. Adi could hear the tone in Angel's voice and knew she wanted to burst out crying. Ugh! He couldn't deal with when people cry. How was Angel so different from AJ? AJ needed to teach her sister to toughen up a bit.

"Yeah, well you can keep him, Angel,'' Adi said, frowning at a picture of an infant Hippogriff. "Spend all the time you want with him.'' His eyebrows shot up at her next statement. Play date? What was he? Three or something? "I don't need play dates. I'm not a kid.'' Adi sighed. "Buzz off, Angel. I want to be alone.'' But somehow he knew she would not leave just yet.

For a bit? Elodie nodded, even though she didn't fully agree. "Sometimes your thoughts are worse than the world." Hers were. Sometimes. Other times, she just really liked to be by herself and consider everything. Like the future. Ugh, the future. "Other times... it's nice to only deal with your own opinions." Of which, she had a lot.

"Seventh." And older than her, it had became apparent. She left out the point that she was a prefect, and a Hufflepuff and most definitely better than her, because she just..wasn't in the mood to dish out titles or anything more than what she immediately needed. But a fifth year. Hmm.. That meant she was the year below some of her friends. Right. Ah. Nevermind. Elodie wasn't going to ask questions about people, because one opinion wrong from this girl and pow. She might be gaining blood flow from her nose.

"You didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I wasn't writing anything to make me feel uncomfortable if it was read." That was a lie.

Angel sighed as she looked at Adi. "Adi, I'm sorry if I upset you." Angel sighed as she looked at her friend or was it ex friend, she didn't know all she knew was she wished that he would tell her more about what was wrong.

O_____________o

"YOU KNOW WHAT ADI!!" Angel snapped, was that good enough, she had decided to stand up for herself at last, "I have tried to be nice to you and friendly and I've not done anything wrong other than talk to Benny." Angel glared she was totally annoyed now. "I'm gone." And with that Angel stalked off back towards the castle.

Adi remained silent, now staring at the words printed on his book. Maybe he should apologise to Angel. He had lost his head, after all. Without looking up, he opened his mouth to do just that but to his enormous surprise...

:whaa:

Was that Angel shouting at him? In his surprise, Adi's head snapped up, his mouth slightly open. Who knew she had it in her? He remained silent, this time it was because he was too shocked to say anything. He continued to watch her as she stormed off towards the Castle. Ho well. She'd get her apology another time.

Furmy padded along with his wings flapping a bit uneven. With an inflation of his slightly padded chest, he slowed to a gradual landing in front of the recipient, then hopped towards her. A letter was tied to his leg.

Would he get treats?

„I guess its about the balance of thoughts and reality.“ Vinnie wasnt one to overthink things, so her thoughts were a good place to hide in most of the time. But right now she liked reality a lot so she had no need to escape. Everything was finally falling into place. Which was nice. Dealing with your own opinion only? Hmmm.. the Slytherin did have a lot of opinions but she liked to voice them. „Depends on how good one is at discussing and accepting other opions.“ And she certainly was.


It was kind of weird how she had acted like it had made her feel uncomfy but said it hadnt. It would be careless to write something like that in public anyway. Someone could always sneak up behind you. Oh well.It would be „And what house?“ Probably not Slytherin...something about her wasnt Slytherin at all.

"Yeah... nowhere's quiet." Well, Theo had yet to find a place that wasn't full of distractions. It didn't help that the smallest of things would distract him from studying, though. Dust gathering on desks was a prime example. He was a bit deep in thought for a moment but looked over to smile when she agreed to not get the books out. Yeah, we didn't need those kind of headaches right now. "So... other than burying your head in books, been up to much?" Theo hadn't seen Cassia as much as he was hoping. AND he was eager to hear about what she thought of being Head Girl in comparison to his own opinions.

Oh, good!! Theo was glad about her experience being good, since he didn't have too much faith in a Hogwarts field trip being successful... or safe. "No one died?" Surely he would have heard about it buuuuuuuuut Theo never paid much attention to current events.

"Trolls??! Big, ugly, gross things?" Behind cages, he hoped!! Theo made a face, undecided whether encountering trolls could be considered as cool.

She didn't suppose she was really burying her head in books, though she knew she should be! She wasn't about to contradict that, maybe it'd be some kind of a motivation to get her to actually do it. Here's to hoping. "I thought I'd be doing lots of things, you know, but it's not much," She admitted. Being a seventh-year plus a Head Girl had glamour and a huge amount of build-up and expectations. "We should do something exiting," Did he not think so ?

That was the most sensible question which Cassia would have asked herself, had she not been on the trip. "Nope, everyone survived." Which was a huge accomplishment. "Those are the ones, " She nodded solemnly. Well, trolls weren't cool but encountering them was a total different thing. "They chased us! It was so close," she told him. "We also got chased by Zombies," While they were on the topic. And she paused to see Theo's reaction before telling MOAR about what chased them. Looking back at it now, they got chased many times.

At the first sight of an approaching owl, Cassia was about to freak out thinking it was her MEAN and vicious owl. But luckily it was not. It was a totally unfamiliar one. With a letter strapped to its leg. The blond untied the letter and patted the bird's head. And a it did get a treat, too! Because this was a nice owl. BUT A LETTER! Who was it from. Curious, Cassia ripped it open and her eyes caught the signature right away and she found herself gushing at the pictures. "Look! It's Ariana's baby, "She showed Theo the pictures. He surely remembered Logan, his teammate.

"I know what you mean!!" Theo had been so excited about this term but so far it had yet to deliver anything worth remembering. "You mean, something head studentish?" He winked. As in - Cassia and Theodore abusing their power. Yes, he wanted it to happen.

O_________O

"W H A T?" Theo's mouth fell open a bit in shock. Being chased by trolls was one thing but ZOMBIES? "Zombies. You were chased by zombies." He paused, trying to process it, and then the most obvious questions came flowing to mind. "What did they look like? Were they like the ones in the movies? Pale and limpy, like..." He had to demonstrate it didn't he? Theo held out his arms, stuck out his tongue and droned out a, "Hnnnnnnnnnmmmmmmmmmmmm..." You know, zombie noises and stuff.

Oh, there was an owl. Theo flinched a little as it approached them since he really wasn't used to owl mail. It wasn't for him, though, but for Cassia. He didn't wanna be nosy but it looked like she was sharing it with him anyway. WOOT. "Aw, I didn't know she was preggers!" Good for her, that was cool. Wait, who was the dad? "Cute." He looked over the photos. Yeah, Theo didn't really think babies were awfully cute.

Adelaide
 

Cris decided that the Beech Tree by the lake would be a good place to get some reading done. Yes it was cold as heck and only a crazy person would be out here reading instead of doing so in the warm confines of any place in the castle.

But that was it. One could only be cooped up in the castle for so long before getting cabin...or in this case...castle fever. So here he was dressed warmly with a scarf wrapped around his neck, wearing a pair of leather gloves and a Russian Ushanka hat protecting his head.

Even then his fave was still chilled, his nose numb and running its own marathon. Cris wondered whether his nose was blue from the cold or red from all the blowing he had to do. He already had a pile of soiled tissue stuffed in his jacket pocket.

Ah...the joys of being outdoors.

Adelaide pulled her hat down over her ears and readjusted her scarf as she walked around the lake. She just needed some fresh air and the dungeons were pretty chilly as it was anyways. Cold really wasn't that much of an issue here.

Addi was getting stir crazy inside. She walked, listening to the crisp ground crunch underneath her feet. She tugged her jacket sleeves down over the tops of her glove to block the slight wind that was blowing. As she walked, she started to sing softly to herself. As far as she knew she was the only one out here.

From the way the leaves were crunching, Cris could tell that someone was approaching where he was sitting. He glanced up from his book interested to see who it was. It was a girl around his age. He had seen her in a couple of classes but never had the opportunity to meet her.

Well here's your chance to make a new friend, Cris, he told himself. He waited for the girl to approach. Not wanting to scare the beejeebers out of her, especially if she wasn't expecting anyone else to be out here, Cris coughed a couple of times. That was always a great way to alert someone of their presence.

Adelaide continued singing to herself, getting slightly louder as she walked along. Her feet kicked up some of the leaves as she watched. Then she heard someone coughing a few times. She stopped singing immediately. She wasn't really used to singing in front of people. Just a couple of her friends had even heard her sing.

Addi still gave the boy a smile. She had been the one to interuppt his reading. "Sorry about the singing. Didn't realize anyone else was out here." Mainly because it was super chilly now. "Reading anything good?"

Adelaide
 

Someone was singing, and he liked it. Turning around to look at the girl, he smiled up at her. "You shouldn't have to apologize for singing. Just between you and me, I sing a lot too...mostly when no one's around," he winked conspiratorially at her.

"I didn't realize anyone else would be out here either. I just needed a breath of fresh air. With the weather being so cold, we've had to spend most of our classes in doors and I'm staring to get cabin fever," Cris explained his presence outdoors.

"What about you? What brings you out here?" he asked her in return before looking down at the book he was reading. "This here? Oh it's a book about dragons and how one can work with them," Cris showed Adelaide the book he was holding in his hand.

"I'm Cristoffer Strand by the way, but you can call me Cris," Cris smiled at the girl as he stuck out his hand to shake hers.

For Chrissy!
 

As he held the leash for Feo in his right hand, he let the Crup excitedly race around the Beech Tree by the Lake. Feo began running circles around Simon as if he wanted to play with the boy. Simon chuckled. He could tell the Crup was glad to be outside and playing. He was also glad to be outside. He had spent way too much time in the library today doing extra research on memory charms and whatnot. He loved being in the library but sometimes he just needed some fresh air.

Brrr..... He didn't like the winter at all up here. It was really cold. Was this a normal winter for this area? Simon wasn't sure. He was used to December being a time when the sun was out and it was summer. He used to go to the beach in December. He shrugged. He'd get used to it eventually. Or so he hoped.

After running around for a fair amount of time, all of a sudden Feo flopped onto the ground. He was pooped out. He glanced up at Simon as if to say 'Give me two minutes and then I'll be up and running around'. The look made Simon laughed. Kneeling on the ground, he patted the Crup. "Now you're tired," he exclaimed chuckling. He was definitely going to get a Crup next year. There was no doubt about it.
