Nigel never visited the groundskeeper ever. Though it was kind of hard when there was a new one basically every year. Nigel tallied them in his head. There was Murdog, which is what Oakey called him, Firth, The one guy friends with Flamsteed. Nigel could not remember his name. And now Kirby. Probably missed a couple. But whatever he was here. This was Nigel's last semester and he wanted to complete one of Kirby's workout sessions. That was one of Nigel's goals this semester. He was skinny skinny. But not West skinny and wanted to get a little stronger so people named Zahra can not tackle him onto concrete streets.

A good a reason as any, Nigel supposed.

Soo....he knocked on the door and waited.

Kirby had just finished hording a hole plate of Pastries from the House Elves earlier this morning. Much to their weak protests. Only one of them thought it wise to try and restrain him. He carried the poor sod all the way down the corridor before the Elf finally gave up and ran away back to the Kitchen.

He was just about to bit into a jelly filled danish when a knocking was heard at his door. Taking the plate with him the Groundskeeper opened the door. "Mister Nigel!" He boomed, "What a surprise to see you out and about so early...Danish?" Kirby held the plate of pastries out in front of the Ravenclaw Prefect and grabbed the jelly filled one for himself before Nigel could take it for himself. Stuffing half into his Mouth, laying claim to it.

It was true that it was a tad early. But Nigel was use to it surfing during the summer in the early hours. So it did not matter to him. and since Kirby was the Groundskeeper. Nigel hoped he was usually up this early. If not then back to the castle he goes. The Seventh Year should not have been surprised when Mr. Kirby opened the door with a plate of danishes. Danishes were awesome. But it was completely random for Nigel right now. "Hello Mr. Kirby...and Yeah, Thanks" Nigel waited till Kirby took the one he wanted. Anyone of them would do for the Ravenclaw. He randomly took one and bite into it thinking about how to phrase this question.

"I just wanted to know if i could join you and take part in one or two of your workout sessions this semester?"

He did not want to say survive because that would be rude.

EXCELLENT!! How Excellent you ask!?!? EXTRA EXCELLENT. Even more so than usual. Ah but there was one one issue.
"Nigel, I'll need you to wait at most a week or so as I get my Hut set up. I need to make sure I have all the proper equipment." He chowed down on another Danish, ooooooh this one had some kind of Cheese curd! "You'll find a bulletin soon on what I have planned. So keep that urge to build muscle in you!" Merlin knows this kid needed it...and a hair cut to boot. It was to difficult to make eye contact with that mop hanging from his head. "Finish off another Danish for extra energy, and run a 9 minute mile if you need to grab some exercise for now." He turned his head and looked into his hut "You want I'll spare you 10lbs leg weights to push yourself?"

These danishes were surprising awesome. Might have to do down tomorrow morning and get some. Nigel assumed that is were he got them. Unless he is an awesome cook. Never know.This might work out after all. He was not turning Nigel down or anything.

Ah...that makes sense.

The term just started and all. It was alright with Nigel. Have to be prepared and have all the equipment set up. "Sure" And that made it ten times easier. It was going to be on the bulletin board. "Awesome and i sure won't."

Whoa,wait a second. Run a nine minute mile. Was he crazy. Maybe an eleven minute. That sounded doable. But 9. He was not that in shape. But..."I have nothing else planned this morning. Sounds good to me....and do the 10 pound weights help?"

Maybe honey did too. Might have to ask Kirby that next.

Agatha flipped her hair several times as she walked down to her uncle's hut, looking around and taking in all of the details of the grounds. They were nice grounds. Her uncle did a good job taking care of it all. Mhm. Hair flip.

There was someone there talking to him in front of the hut already? "Hello." She looked up to the random boy she didn't know. Who was he? Why was he here eating danish with her uncle? Right outside the hut? Why weren't they inside? "Hi, uncle."

Oh, she hadn't spoken to him properly since the Sorting! "UNCLE." She suddenly exclaimed, before either one could ask her anything at all. "I'm a Slytherin!!" Agatha beamed, proudly smiling and fixing her beautiful hair. "Isn't it great???"

Great! G r e a t.

This icy, frigid, snow-filled virulent winter is beginning to esclate toward blizzard levels with a polar vortex wind chill suddenly sweeping the grounds on top of the already high snow drifts. Brrr! Best get indoors now before the snow covers you to your frostbitten nose! It looks like Hogwarts may already be in the process of being snowed in....

OOC: All grounds threads will shortly be locked in light of this snowpocalypse. You have about 24 hours to finish your RPs and get in the castle!
