The petting from the human on her back only agitated the mare more. More snorting. More loud neighing. More standing on her back legs. The firmness of the human man's voice also stressed her a little more, but nothing made her want to slam her body against the outside wall of one of the buildings like the one on her back.

The foal was actually calming down, thanks to the stillness of the humans. Taking a few more timid steps forward towards the human girl with food (Deezerz), it reached it neck out and began nipping at the air until it tasted the grass. Neighing happily, it took another step forward and another bite. Careful for your fingers, human.

Well. The unicorn did look upset, and AJ looked like she’s going to fall down any minute. Worse, he might get sandwiched in between if he doesn’t move from his current position. Still well away from the unicorns though, Ethan took a silent step backwards as his brain raced for an alternate route. For obvious reasons, he cannot access the main street now, what with the show going on.

Disappearing from everyone else’s sight, Ethan ran towards the back of the shop and jogged at the Back Alleyway until he met a dead end.

Taking another turn, he looked at his right to see that he was way past the commotion. Now. Onto his cousin waiting at Scrivenshaft. He didn’t want to be late further. Mordred just might send a full-grown dragon patronus this time. Nope. No thanks. The baby dragon scared him enough, thank you very much.

"I'll call you Harley...and I will hold you, and squeeze you, and love you FOREVER!" AJ was still whispering to her soon to be pet's mother. She decided that the baby would need a different name than she had originally thought. Just as she was thinking maybe, just maybe she was getting somewhere, out came a professor.

O____O

Had he been here the whole time? What was up with professor's just popping out of nowhere lately? It seemed like every time she had done any little thing here one came... it had to be the magic! "But professor-" Did he just say detention every week? AJ had her fair share of detention in muggle school, but that amount seemed excessive. "I wasn't hurting it, only loving it." Couldn't he SEE that? She didn't want to let go. AJ had every intention of taking that baby back to her common room. She saw those crazy eyes that belonged to the professor and slackened her grip.


As if on cue the unicorn went crazy again, and this time the young lion was unprepared due to the professors' threats, and loosened grip. Catching her off guard she fell off the unicorn and landed flat on her back with a loud thud. It took her a second to catch her breath from the knock out, and when she did AJ turned her loving eyes back on the creature. "It's okay, I forgive you." That crazy man was responsible for this, she just knew it!

Beverly stood deadly still as the foal approached her. There was a mixture of excitement and anxiousness. A UNICORN was eating from HER hand.

.... How cool was THAT?

Remaining calm on the outside, she slowly straightened her hand, leaving the food in the flat of her palm to avoid her fingers from being devoured as well.

It was quite a bit of a challenge not to snort or break out into a Woot! when the girl fell off the mare. Take that! HA! From experience, Bev knew that must of hurt, but who cared when a baby Unicorn was feeding from HER hand. Besides, the girl deserved it. Beverly just hoped to Merlin that the mare wouldn't think she was a danger to her baby.

So, once again, she stood still.

Connor just watched this chaotic event what was this girl thinking? This is why his house was viewed as reckless and whatnot..Merlin. He sighed and stayed where he was, he assumed Professor Thompson didn't mean he should leave considering he'd been there the whole time? besides he had a few questions he needed answered and he hoped that Addi wouldn't mind.

Adelaide grabbed some of the feed and waited for her turn to go up and feed the unicorn. Lux did good and Addi was all prepared to go after Beverly when that crazy girl came out of nowhere and jumped on the unicorn's back. WHAT ON EARTH WAS SHE THINKING?!

Good. Professor Thompson seemed to have this under control. And then the foal was eating from Beverly's hand. Okay it was her turn. And look. The mare managed to throw the insane gryffindor girl. Lions man.

Adelaide stepped away from the group, hoping now that she was boy free the unicorn would come to her. She reached out her hand with the food slowly. Hopefully the mare wouldn't freak out on her, especially since her foal was still eating from Beverly's hand. Addi gave the creature a warm smile. See. Friendly.

Laura smiled at Lux as she hid behind someone. "It's okay Lux I'll not let anything happen to you." Laura wondered if the girl on the unicorn had lost her mind because well this was stupid, though she must admit she did some crazy stuff in her first few years.

Laura then heard the professor say about point loss for those who have just arrived, she'd like to see him try and take points of her it would be funny, though she had been the first one to see them as she had been here with Lux. "Need any help there Mr" Laura looked at the guy, she hadn't seen him before she didn't think and maybe he didn't know what he was doing. "Do you know what your doing?" Laura asked him, she loved animals.

Ever since Bryant and her started growing closer, she had been secretly practicing being girly. Mel was wanting to catch his eye since she had a crush on her friend. He was almost to the point of being a better friend than Annaleecia. Mel always kinda had a crush on him but it grew as their friendship grew. She spotted Bryant down the street sometime and darted in between two buildings real quick. She pulled out a mirror and glanced at her make-up, happy that it looked semi-okay. Melek smoothed out her outfit and practiced walking in heels in the small alley a few times before exiting it and continuing down the street. Mel fixed her hair then tapped his shoulder, "Hey, Bryant..." She did a hair flip, messing it up a little. "Sorry, I am late.... I..." wanted to look pretty for you... "lost track of time while reading..." She gave a giggle which was unusual for her.

Finally, Bryant saw someone who looked like Mel. But then he looked again and she was gone. Frustrated a bit, he stared down at the ground and rubbed his hands together. Where was she? After a couple more minutes, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Looking up, he was kinda surprised to see Mel standing there... in heels, wearing make-up and seemingly giddy.

"I...uh..." He studdered a bit, caught off guard by Mel who was not at all like the girl he had met back in the store in Diagon Alley. "You know you don't have to dress up for me right... We're just studying." He said, still a bit confused as to why she got all girly on him. He did like her... but he liked the real her underneath all the makeup and heels, the typical sorta nerdy ravenclaw. "You...you wanna go to the three broomsticks?" He asked, hoping they could get out of the cold and maybe start working on the studying.

Now that the young Gryffindor girl was finally off the Unicorns. Judging by her response, well, Javy certainly knew which Valentine she was. His voice remained calm, but not quite as firm. "Good, Miss Valentine. Now come over to where Mr. Jones is standing here. We'll be discussing this later with Professor Bentley." Yes, there needed to be some control for he enthusiasm before it got even worse later on.

Least the other girls had successfully fed the Unicorns. "Alright now, one by one, if you ladies can coax them over here gently. We can take them out of here safely."

"Yeah I think the Unicorn is just scared. He may need some food. But we shouldn't go over there since they don't like males touching them.." Kace said remembered learning about them in class. Hey useful information from class that helped in actual life. Who would have thought?

Wait did he just hear correctly. "Wait what trainee program are you doing??" he asked him curiously. Then he had a sprained ankle. Kace gave him a quizzical look. "How did you sprain your ankle?" he asked.

She was doing brilliantly, she just KNEW it. Her mum would be proud.

Swallowing and taking a steady breath - she'd forgotten that was essential for living - Beverly quietly took a step back, keeping her arm out stretched toward the foal. Hopefully it'd follow and then they could finally lead them away from Hogsmeade and back toward the woods--

Wait.

She shot Professor Javy an anxious look. One that asked if it were possible to coax them back where they belonged. The last thing Beverly wanted to think about was the Unicorns were running away from something within the wood. Sort of reminded her of a story Kennedy had told her about that one time he'd meat an Acromantula on Hogwarts' grounds. Talk about cool experience, but...

Was this the same scenario or...?

Curiously, Lux watched Beverley and the baby Unicorn. It was sooooo cute. She wished she was able to hug it and love it, but of course that would be stupid to do with the mother around. A girl could dream. Smiling at Laura, she was happy that her friend was here. "That means a lot." People seemed to be rather protective of her - and at times it could be tiring - but generally Lux appreciated it.

The girl falling off of the mommy Unicorn had to hurt, but really it was for the best because a lot more damage could be done otherwise. With hay in hand, Lux tried her best to coax the mommy Unicorn. "Come on, girl. I have some yummy food for you." You know you want the haaaaay. "Professor, have Unicorns ever come here before?" He was an adult which meant he was a lot older than her. Maybe he knew things.

Jun nodded. Before heading off into the forest with Lou, he read up on unicorns and any creature that lived in the forest. Unicorns preferred a woman's touch than a male's. Or at least they had to warm up to the male, a lot. "Plus, don't think we both want to lose points for heading over there," And Thompson wouldn't be happy at all.

"Oh, a program that trains you to be in a music group. You have to reach a certain level to even be considered for one," Levels Jun hasn't even reached yet. He was still low in certain categories, which he probably had to focus on this term. "During my audition over break, a guy who was in my group made me step wrong and my ankle gave in the wrong way," All the swelling and bruising was horrible. But thankfully they fixed it right up at St. Mungos.

She pretended to be offended, "I so didnt dress up for you." Mel placed her hands on her hips, pulling a fake pout. Crap... am I that open bookish? "I didnt even dress up at all. I am just being who I am." Who I am that gets your attention... why dont you like me? Arent I pretty enough for you? You are so cute and argh! She forced a smile at him and nodded, "I will love to go study with you at the three broomsticks..." maybe like a date... because we would totally be awesome together... She giggled and twirled a strand of hair around her finger. You are so cute... we need a ship name... hmmmm... what should it be? Brylek? No.... Merant? No... Hmmmm.... eh, who cares about ship names... we need to be together first! She smiled and giggled at him some more. "Its cold out here..." She rubbed her arms.

The foal continued to eagerly follow the food's movement, paying very little attention to the human (Deezerz) as it did. Food was more important. Nibble nibble TUUUUUUG nibble nibble.

The mare also gave in to her hunger and followed the movements of the human nearest her (Squishy). Her hooves clanked delicately against street and her ears slowly lifted and perked up.

As long as there was food in the humans' hands, the unicorns would go anywhere they were guided too. There was a bond of trust there - but still be careful of your fingers. They could be mistaken for carrots yet.

Kace nodded and agreed with him. "Yeah I'd rather not get too involved. We are good just were we are." He said sitting on the bench. He nodded at him and thought that was pretty cool. "Woww mate I didn't know you were interested in music! What type of instruments do you play?" he asked him. Maybe it was time to show his hidden talent. "Well mate I have a secret talent too. I mean.." he trailed off reaching into his bag. He got out his notebook and showed him his doodles. "See this is what I do in my free time." he grinned showing his sketchbook.

Jun sat next to him and watched the scene that was still going on. "No need to get the unicorns angry. Bet an angry Thompson would be scarier," Though he looks like the type to hold it all in to keep his job. Poor Javy. Now if only the other children listened to his and backed away from the unicorns. "Mhm, since I was a little kid. My dad's a professional dancer so he got me into that and singing," Those were the main ones he learned. Oh, and the other thing. "I mostly play piano. Never really picked up another instrument," And Jun was completely fine with that.

Taking the sketchbook from Kace, hoping it was okay, Jun looked closely at the drawing and grinned. "Look at you! Being the new Picasso!" He chuckled, eyes still on the drawing. Could he have a copy?

"Good, good." The Unicorns were happily eating now, and no longer upset. "Miss Adams, Miss Carrington, and Miss Wayne, take two points each for feeding them." Oh yeah, and for the lad behind Professor Thompson. He was friends with one or some of them, yes? "Mr. Jones, take a point for your patience." He hadn't forgotten the Unicorn fanatic student though, "Miss Valentine, if you can remain calm and off the Unicorns you're more than welcome to walk along side and pet them while we take them someplace better for them." Somewhere better than Hogsmeade, that was for sure. He would be contacting Professor Bentley later on.

"Now let's get going, it's a little cool to be staying out here any longer." Waiting until they slowly guided them over closer, he led them outside the Hogsmeade streets.

Kace chuckled and couldn't agree more. He couldn't deny seeing an angrier Thompson would make a scary sight. That is pretty cool his dad was a professional dancer. "Wow mate, you may have to show me some dance moves sometimes.." he smiled. He was really interested to learn to dance. "Does your dad do hip-hop or what?" he asked curiously. He only played piano which wasn't too bad of an instrument to play. "Well mate, I never played an instrument either besides the recorder back in my elementary school days.." he chuckled. Those days were torture.

He smiled when Jun was looking at his drawing. "Yeah I am the new Picasso aren't I? Well I just learned from my friends doing it all the time. I would sneak out with them and learn to draw on my own. Then it just stuck..." he shrugged looking through more sketches. He saw him stare at his drawing intently. "I take it you want a copy?" he asked with eyebrow arched.

She was going to write to her dad about this and tell Kennedy over lunch ('cause they had a brother-sister lunch date) AND then shove it up her cousin's face when she saw her over holidays. Merlin, Peyton was going to be SO jealous. Baha!

House points?!

That only made this experience even more worthy. Helping creatures was a privileged, but if Professor Javy wanted to award her points for it she wasn't going to deny them. In fact, she should get more for having kept calm and quiet more than the others. Yes.

Taking cautious steps toward the edge of Hogsmeade and out of the village, Beverly made sure to keep her hand flat to avoid her fingers from becoming horse chow.

Where to now?
