Sorry for the delay again
 

Cris liked the fact that Addi wasn't one to shy away from doing something different. "Well let me know if you're ever interested to try rock climbing. We can always create a rock climbing wall in the Room of Requirements. You definitely have the arms for it," Cris grinned at Addi as he acknowledged her muscle showing effort.

Then he laughed when she informed him that she was even competitive when it came to running. "You know what? You are the second person I've met, who thinks running involves racing. I'm just as competitive too, but unlike the other sports I participate in, I run for leisure....right now," he had to reluctantly inform Addi.

"Hey what happened to the confidence and competitive nature you just displayed when talking about rock climbing and running with me? You have to believe that you'll be either the same standard you were last term or even better, when you prepare for your tryouts. Just think about it this way. You won't be the only one out of practice. The others will be too."

Cris hoped that what he was telling Addi, was enough to convince his new found friend that she should not lose confidence just yet.

Just as Harley was plotting his next move and looking through this kids sketchbook he suddenly jumped as he heard a booming voice that was not his own. Who was it? He lookee for the kid but couldnt see him, thats when he turned around and saw the kid was there "Me? scaring people? I never do anything of the sort, I just have fun I do" he said smiling as the kid "I am sure you have had this kind of fun before, its just fun!" he chuckled as he smiled at the kid Yeah?" he asked, cause it was all fun "You try it one day, maybe when someone is passing by here give it a a go" he said nodding

She didn't know what Spiderman was? Kyrohs excitement dwindled, just for a SECOND before going back up. Her NOT knowing WHO Spiderman was just meant that he got to show and and explain and stuff!! Like back in his teaching days!

"Nooo he doesn't kill people." Kyroh shook his head. "Killing isn't a nice thing to do." Not nice at all. Once you were dead that was IT. "Spiderman is a Muggle superhero."He titled his head a bit waiting for a response. If Bay didn't even know who Spiderman man was did that mean she didn't know about Superheroes? "And Superheroes are people in the Muggle world kinda like Aurors. They have special powers and they save people and catch bad guys but they don't kill them. They just give them to the police and then the bad guys get locked away. They aren't really real though. They are stories in comics." The grin was plastered on his face once more. "Anyways Spiderman is the coolest of them all! He was bitten by a spider and he can swing from webs and crawl up walls and stuff"

Uhhh...the WHOLE grounds? Like ALL of it? Just the two of them? Kyroh glanced around looking at the vastness that was the Hogwarts grounds. It was such a large area to cover it would probably take them 100 years.

But if he DIDN'T help Bay would be doing everything by herself and that would take her 200 years. And he couldn't let her do it alone if HELPING could save her WHOLE 100 years!

.....Plus...points?

"Okay! I'll help and we WILL do it!" They would cover the WHOOLE THING. Even right by the Whomping Willow. "We have to find a way to protect them though! So other kids don't mess them up before we show the groundskeeper!"

Didn't want to waste 100 years after all.

Oh, yes. She'd been right.

Listening closely, CB knocked down a few more icicles and put them in a pile by the trunk of the tree. For safety reasons. Maybe they could also make a barrier around the snow angels with them.

She tapped her chin with her finger. "What's that? What makes those heros so super?" Could she be super too? She could trick Cristo into telling her she was super by making him read off some of the stickers he use to put on her and Hallie's homework. "Oh. So they just save people and do nice things and live by the law?" She nodded a little as he went on, "Are there girl super people too?"

There had to be girl ones. Right? And they were probably really pretty too. "We could be super people when we make our snow angels. Or we can name them like super people." COOL? So cool. Best ideas, she had those.

"Do you think there's a spell we could look up? I could accio my spellbook and we could look through it maybe. Or we could just put icicles around to protect them." Nod nod nod. Options. They had those. "We could get him to help even!" His angels would be HUGE. And so cool. Wow.

Iron Man and Batman would sure have a good fight. "As much as I wanna say Batman, I think Iron Man would win." He had a freaking suit that would keep the man safe far longer than Batman would be. "Batman would put up a good fight though."

What Adi was saying was very true. "Yup. All guys seem to think the same way on this one." AJ would definitely fall into the guy category on getting ready. "She so is. Angel tries to out make-up on me in my sleep. I don't know why she cares what I look like." She had her own face, kind of. She pictured Benny and Angel together and Benny having to wait on her. "Well, Benjamin seems to be patient so even more reason for them to get together." She thought he wouldn't like waiting, but he wouldn't be bothered by it as much as others would. "I will!" She hoped. At that very moment she felt something on her line. Jerking quickly the first year pulled out a trout. "Look, I caught one!" Finally!!! "Can I borrow another one of your baits?" She could totally catch up.

Another good question. "I would like to think so for her own dignity, but I think she is in pretty deep." It was cutie pie this and cutie pie that. Angel blushed every time that Benjamin was brought up. "That would be the worse." Angel never got her jokes and always took them to heart so she already knew first hand how that was. "No wimps please." She flashed a crooked smile to Adi.

Oooo Addi hadn't even thought of that. The Room of Requirement sure could come in handy for a lot of things. She laughed. "I definitely do. But they used to be better. But I'm working on it." She was quite proud of her arm muscles. They weren't huge but strong enough to smack a bludger pretty hard.

Leisure running. She did that. Just somehow her competitiveness came out when she ran with other people. Then again, it could always be because she usually ran with Jun or one of her old teammates. "I can do leisure. Just yell at me if I pull ahead too much or look like I'm taking it too seriously."

Adelaide shrugged. "I guess, but there are other schools and people that have money and can practice when they go home and such."

Addi
 

At the mention of her biceps again, Cris gazed down at them. "Hey they're not that bad especially for someone who doesn't physically carry weights to build them up. Your's are like my older sister's. She rows a lot, so that's how she bulks up."

Cris chuckled. Yes he didn't always run competitively, but he had a competitive streak too, only he didn't like to show it when he was running against the female gender. He always believed that he had an unfair advantage over them. Being tall and physically fit. "Oh don't worry, I'll be happy to remind you of that if I see you pulling too far ahead of me," he grinned at her, allowing her to think that she would be able to do that.

Cris blushed when Addi referenced those people whose affluent status allowed them to practice playing Quidditch at home. He wondered whether he should mention that he was one of those people. Nah!...that would sound like he was bragging. Trying to be as diplomatic as possible, he offered a possible solution for her.

"Um...I don't know where you live, but if you'd like you could always come to my house and practice playing Quidditch in my backyard. I think it'll be large enough for you to beat the bludger around without breaking any windows," Cris informed Addi.

The fact that his backyard was really large was something else he decided not to mention.

What made superheroes so SUPER!? Kyroh thought for a moment, his face scrunching up and small wrinkles creasing his nose as he thought. "They do stuff that other people can't." The boy started slowly. "Like....they're Muggles but they have powers and that's unheard of. AND they save people. So anyone who saves someone has to be super right?"

AH She got it! He nodded his head happily. "They save people from giant evil monsters like -the green goblin" He brought his voice low and as evil sounding as he could at the end of the sentence. "There are LOADS of girl superheroes." Kyroh grinned at that. "I can list them all for you-NO I can write you like a guide! With all the girls and what they do!" Just so she would KNOW!

He'd do it right after the 100 years was up and they had finished the snow angels.

Being superheroes? NAMING the snow angels? Kyroh started to bounce his eyes shone with excitement. That was better than anything he could even come up with! "OKAY!!! I'm always Spiderman!" Kyroh announced happily pointing at his chest. But who could Bay be!? Hmmmm. "Yoou can be Jean Grey cause she uses her mind do move stuff and read peoples minds and she is just REALLY smart. Like you." Coral-Bay WAS always reading and stuff so yeah! Kyroh was way more excited about this than he was just two seconds ago.

MAYBE there was a spell. But Kyroh didn't have a clue. Protect Snowangels spell? Hm. "I think we should use the icicles first then try to find the spell later." With THAT idea he began to try and swat more icicles. Considering his height it was kind of difficult but Kyroh was doing well! SWAT and SWAT and-Get the grounds keeper to help!?"....what if he eats me?"

"Something else we agree on,'' Adi said. Yep, Iron Man would most likely be the winner of that fight. His suit was just incredible. "Of course he would. Batman never goes down without a fight.''

Adi laughed. "In your sleep?'' That was a funny thing to picture. "You don't need make up.'' To him, AJ looked great so why would Angel need to bother with putting makeup on her sister? Adi's eyes darted to AJ's line. Sure enough she had finally managed to snag a fishy. "Adi leads 2-1,'' the third year commentated. "Sure, here you go. How much time left?'' He thought there might be somewhere between fifteen to ten minutes. Hopefully he could snag another fish and win this because if AJ caught another it would just even things up.

"I would think so, too. She seemed really dejected when Benny wasn't talking to her.'' Okay, so whenever he thought about that he felt guilty but the two were talking again so guilt could you please go away? "No wimps,'' Adi agreed.

They sure did seem to agree on several things. Not that she was complaining or anything. It was nice to have somebody that was on her level and understood her logic. "Everybody else would be no contest for Batman though." Just throwing that out there.

"Yes, she is insane. Plus, she knows that she doesn't stand a chance when I am fully awake and aware." Nope, she knew better. Was that an actual compliment? "I don't see why anybody does really." What were they trying to hide? Plus, if you got all sweaty and stuff wouldn't it just run down your face? "Not such a major lead there buddy." AJ was still in this. AJ checked her watch. "Looks like we have twelve more minutes left." To be exact. She most likely could have just said ten minutes, but she was going to use every last minute that she could.

Dejected? "That's the understatement of the century." She was almost depressed about it. She was super touchy, and always pouty. AJ would never make such a fuss over a boy especially one that didn't even seem to like her back. She nodded as he agreed with her about the strict no wimps policy.

"Alright, I'll have to agree with you on that too. But the others would put up a good fight also.'' Adi suddenly has a picture of Batman and Captain America battling it out in his head.

"Insane in a good and funny way. You guys sure have different personalities.'' Adi wondered what Abby was like and if she way shy a lot. He certainly had not seen much of her around. "Hey, which of you guys is the eldest? And which is the youngest?'' It was a question that had never crossed his mind until now. "A lead's still a lead,'' the boy said looking impishly over at his friend. Twelve minutes. A lot can happen until those came to an end. Come on, fishies! Let's get to biting his line!

"Well, maybe they'd get around to talking back to each other soon.'' He had done his part and made his apologies.

Batman was the best, just admit it! "They definitely would." It was most likely a superhero must. Nobody wanted to watch a fight between duffers. Where was the amusement in that?

So true, that was so true. "We really do... mine is the best of course." AJ smirked. "I don't think you've met Abby. She's pretty shy and is VERY devoted to school work." Which is one of the reasons why he most likely didn't see her around. "She's my own flesh and blood, and I hardly see her." If AJ had to guess though, she would say that she was in her common room buried by books. "I'm the oldest, followed by Angel and then Abby taking up the rear." Which was one of the reasons why she thought she was protective of her sisters. "We're only separated by minutes though." Dang, Adi had a point there. "A lot can happen in 12 minutes my friend." She hoped this to be true.

"I think they will. Hopefully they can figure this out on their own." And leave her completely out of it. She had enough of the drama already, and it didn't even involve her.

"I just might have to agree on that one too,'' Adi replied. AJ's tomboy ways and sense of humour certainly did make a great combination for her personality. "No, I haven't and I'm wondering if I'll ever get to meet her before the school year ends.'' Abby needed to get away from the books and have some fun. "That would explain why you're so mature. Only sometimes though,'' Adi kidded.

"If we were battling it out by time, there was a chance you would have caught up. But too bad for you.'' Adi grinned. "Though it's probably ten minutes left now.'' The Hufflepuff looked out towards the Lake. Where did all the fishes go? "I think the fishes migrated because of the cold, AJ.'' Because wouldn't they have caught lots more by now?

Feo? That was certainly a cute name? Not only that, he was Professor Botros' crup? Josette smiled almost immediately, she hadn't known that Professor Botros was the owner of this adorable creature. The second year's eyes were soon directed down at the eagerly adorable Feo as he was running around her feet in circles. Josette was soon beginning to notice that Simon's adorable companion was starting to entangle her feet with his leash & her eyes immediately looked towards the freezing lake beside them. Which was why she didn't dare to move, otherwise she'd be going for a very chilly swim. But when Simon had gone to stop Feo, she felt a slight tug at her legs because of his leash, which made her begin to topple over a little bit. Out of instinct, she reached out grabbing onto Simon's sleeve for a bit of stability just to she could be sure she had her balance again. "S-Sorry.." Josette immediately let go of him & adjusted herself so that her legs weren't entangled any long.

There, all better, no swimming for Josie.

She was a bit surprised that he had never been down here before either, perhaps the older student new about it? It had to have made sense, she was only a second year so there was only so much of the castle she had seen. Oh, Simon had offered to walk Feo for Professor Botros? "T-That's very nice.." That, and offering her if she wanted to him was another nice thing. Josette smiled at Simon giving him a nod, but she didn't rush to pet the creature. Instead she offered her hand for Feo giving him an opportunity to sniff her & get to know her scent. Once she felt confident even, she gave the happy Feo a few soft strokes on his head, followed by a scratch of his ear. Josette looked up at Simon once more as she went on to say, "B-Before I came to Hogwarts I-I didn't have any pets...I bought Edwin at D-Diagon Alley before my f-first term...And on my twelfth birthday my f-father let me buy my kitten Sebastian..." She was a bit sad though that Simon didn't have any pets aside from his german shepherd. "..W-Would your parents l-let you buy another pet?"

Look at them all agreeing and stuff. "What mighty fine taste you have there." It was almost freaky that they agreed on so many things. AJ was so used to be the odd man out at home so this was a nice change.

Catching Abby was like catching smoke. "My bet would be on no." Maybe AJ could drag Abby out of her shell this summer. Only time would tell. "Oh yeah, I am totally mature." She pulled an Adi and stuck her tongue out. "See." She got what he was saying though. She was pretty levelheaded... sometimes, until the adventurous part of her took over.

It was true! It was not looking so good for the lion. Looking down at her watch, it only confirmed that he was right. There was only ten minutes left. A lot could happen in those minutes, but it most likely wasn't going to be enough. "Ten minutes left," she confirmed. He had a good theory going there. "They probably did." What if they had caught the only 3 fishies that were stupid enough to stay behind?

Adi continued to play along. "Oh, I know. My choices are always great,'' he told AJ. Hehe. Well, everyone thought their choices were awesome, didn't they?

He laughed for what seemed the millionth time. When was the last time he laughed so much? "That's really mature, AJ.'' Back to the triplets' personality. "So, we've got a bookworm, a fashioniesta and a tomboy...'' It was amazing how persons can look the same but then act completely different.

A pull on Adi's rod made his eyes snap down to look a the water. "Reckon I've got another one,'' he said with a grin and already reeling the line in. Yep, there was a slightly bigger fishy than his previous two flopping off the edge of his hook. "Annnd Adi still leads 3-1.'' The fish continued flopping, spraying some of the Lake water on him. "I'll need a long bath to get rid off the fishy water,'' the third year joked as he let the fish back into the water. "So that's four fishes that haven't migrated. Unless of course a couple hooked the line more than once.'' He was going to win this!

And look what you almost did, Feo.... Almost knocked this poor girl into the freezing lake. Tsk..Tsk. You silly, adorable crup, thought Simon as Josette grabbed on to his sleeve. "No worries, better to hold on to something or someone then fall into the freezing Lake," he added, trying to make the situation less awkward. Was it awkward? He didn't know actually. :blink:

He watched the timid younger girl pet Feo after a couple of moments. She was really quiet compared to Ethan. He began to wonder whether Ethan would eventually bring out her louder side like Ethan had done with him. Only time would tell the answer to that question. He met her eyes with his own deep blue ones as he listened to her explain about her pets. "Edwin and Sebastian, hey? Both good names for pets," he said. He especially liked the name Edwin. It was super unique. He frowned and then shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I don't know... I think if I got my younger sister to help me ask for a pet, then they couldn't resist not to cave in eventually. Though I'd really like to get a Crup. However, Crups don't really like muggles too much. They can be a bit too aggressive towards them and I wouldn't want a crup to hurt my family." Le sigh. The problems of being a muggleborn sometimes.

Addi glanced at them as Cris talked. "I never saw the point in weights." Sure she did some now and then the last two years when she was actually playing quidditch. But that mainly came with the practices.

She shoved her hands back in her pockets. They were getting a tad bit chilly at the moment. She cracked a small smile. "Good. I'll hold ya to it."

Oh look. Addi had made the pretty boy blush. She was quite proud of herself for that. But why had he blushed? Had she said something that was blush worthy? She wasn't quite sure, but whatever. He was blushing.

She bit her lip. "I live nowhere right now. Kind of between places." Because she hadn't actually cemented where she'd be living after she graduated. At least she had three friends who had offered. She cracked a smile. "Thanks. Got a big place huh?" She used to.

AJ snorted. "Only because they just so happen to be the same choices I would make." If that wasn't the case then his choices would be second best after hers obviously.

Adi had a nice laugh, and she was glad that she was the reason why he laughed so much. So far she hadn't really met anybody that had her sense of humor at Hogwarts. "Thank you, thank you." She bowed as if she had just completed some awesome play. It seemed like he had the sisters pegged perfectly. "Yeah well you know me... I'm all about my clothes," she said teasingly knowing fully well that she was the tomboy.

Another one, really? "No way." She wouldn't believe it until she saw it. The line was definitely jerking, but he still had to get it to the surface. Of course there was a fish on the line. It seemed like Adi was having all the luck in the world while she was struggling with it. AJ looked at her watch, and it showed that there was only five more minutes left. "I still have a few minutes left to beat you with." She laughed at the fish spraying him with water. "Don't worry, you'll be getting a nice lake bath in a few minutes." Yup, she was way behind, but she was going to be cocky until the very end.

''Well, yeah,'' Adi said, his thoughts drifting to how much he and AJ had in common. He wondered if she realised that. "Hey, you ever noticed how much you stole my personality?'' Hehe. The third year just had to put it in a funny way.

"You should be a comedian,'' he stated. "Right. Clothes plus baseball, fishing, superheroes and all the other guy stuff.'' Adi grinned broadly. "Yes way.'' He tied another fake bait to the line. This probably was going to be the least one since the one hour was almost up. "About five minutes to catch two to even things up or three to win. No way, AJ. I've got this.'' Finally he could say he beat AJ at something. "You'll be the one getting bath.''

But Adi had just thought of something. It was bitterly cold this winter and the Lake water would be no different. If AJ jumped into it...no. He couldn't let her do that.

I'm really bad. Sorry for the delay in reply again
 

Cris frowned at Addi's living accommodation prediction. "You live nowhere right now? What about your family? Don't you live with them when you're not here?" Cris asked puzzlement clearly written all over his face. Cris knew that once he graduated and began his studies at the Wizarding University, he'd most likely stay there or in an apartment, but during the holidays, he would still return home.

Cris nodded in reply to her question. "Yes I live in a reasonably big house with my family," if a ten-bedroom mansion was a considered reasonably big. "But I love it though. It's a great place to play hide-n-seek in....not that I still do that," Cris quickly corrected himself. Well he didn't play it as much as he used to, even though he had no problems agreeing to be the seeker whenever Andy and Elin refused to be it.

Quickly changing the subject, he posed a question back at Addi. "So where do you plan to attend Wizarding University if you decide to pursue that degree in charms?"

Stole his personality? "I think it's the other way around." Most likely he just realized how awesome she was, and he just had to be like her. "My awesomeness must have just rubbed off on you." Hehe. She loved to give him a hard time. They were both awesome.

A comedian would be cool. "Now that I'm all magical I can't have an ordinary job." Not now that she knew there was such things as dragon training. She would have to find something cool and fun to do when she grew up. AJ did like a lot of guy stuff. "Don't forget my amazing personality there." If he was going to list off things, he might as well not forget anything. She knew he was right. There was no way that she was going to be able to catch up with him. "I'm not out yet." But she was, she so was. the thought of jumping into the water sent a shiver down her spine.

She wouldn't back out though. A bet was a bet, and if she lost she would be holding up her end of the bargain. It wouldn't kill her... right?

"I highly doubt that,'' Adi said in fake seriousness. "When we first met, you got to meet a piece of my sense of humour.'' He was referring to the whole chocolate frog thing. Hehe. He would never be able to forget the nonsense he told AJ even if he tried. "So it's obvious MY awesomeness rubbed off on you.''

"Welllll, you can raise Unicorns,'' the Hufflepuff suggested. He knew how badly AJ wanted one of those, so why not work with loads of them? "Oh yes, and your awesome personality. I think that should go at the top of the list, don't you think?'' Looks like his friend here would go down fighting. "Don't keep false hopes. You'll be so disappointed. But then again, maybe you won't because you'll be happy that I beat you.'' Haha.

But beneath all that laughing and joking, Adi was seriously worried about AJ diving into the Lake. He'd have to stop her.

Lorem had momentarily strayed away from his colony to cast wistful glances at the forest. Finally the cold had gotten too much for the centaurs to bare and the herd had followed Thereos out of their home to seek refuge with the human. It was nothing he was too excited about but desperate times did indeed call for desperate measures. He swished his tail and sighed before looking around. He needed to find a friendly student who would assist him in finding the rest of his colony or at least someplace warm.

Maddie had been wandering and wondering what the Giant Squid did while the lake was all frozen like it was right now. Surely if it ate children, it'd be starving by now. This was reassuring and made the first year want to meet him even more. She still had that list of questions and if she could just get her answers--

HOLD. THE. SNITCH. Was that a CENTAUR?

The first year paused for only a moment, looking around to see if anyone else noticed the beast too. Beast, she knew, because centaurs had qualms about who was in the Being category. What? Maddie READ! She'd also learned that Centaurs tended to steer clear of witches and wizards so to see one HERE...Welp.

"Hello." Hi. Over here. Small person talking. "I've never seen a centaur up close before." Probably because they weren't likely to come out of the forest for a hang. "Are you lost?" Because this WASN'T the woods, did he know?
