The Eagles sit under a brand new navy and bronze banner representing their house. Their solid, shiny wooden table is nicely polished with all the place settings perfectly set. It was once said that the Hogwarts House Elves are the best in the world. It is up to your stomach to agree... but surely it will! Why wouldn't it like elf cooking?
If you're thirsty, there is also fresh pumpkin juice and water on the table, regardless of whether or not it is actually mealtime.

He gave her a wave and then nudged Grayson. "That's Josie. She's a good mate of Ethan's," he whispered to his fellow Snake and then stood up to give her a kind smile. He waved. "Hey Josie! Long time no see. How've you been?"

It had LOTS of beaches, as far as this boy knew, and that was exactly why he wanted to go there. "What's it like there?" As for his question about being here for long: MAN, he wished! "Well, I didn't transfer from anywhere cool like Australia buuuut I am a transfer. Transferred this year from," He cleared his throat before putting on his best French accent. "Beauxbatons." And yes, he did know how to speak French. Talented, he was. "Uh huh! When's your birthday?"
The great thing about Simon was that he just KNEW. And they were on similar wavelengths too. GOOD. He didn't want to be building a wall of defence with any old loony. They would likely argue his points with dumb suggestions of their own and they'd get nothing done. So, thank you for being cool, Holden. "'Xactly! Because we're not cowards. Glad you understand, mate." Nod. Grayson streeeeetched out his arms and was ablut to start piling he snow up when--
Okay HOLD THE FREAKING PHONE. "How are you doing that?" The snow piling using MAGIC. Was he using a simple spell? And how come Grayson didn't know? HMMMMM?
Before he could question this, the third year was talking about someone that was nearby. A LADY someone. Hiding something are we, Holden? Grayson looked in that direction, watching the girl all too curiously, before saying, "A good friend of Ethan's eh? A friend or a friend friend?" Nudge nudge wink wink. Oh please say it was the latter! It would be oh so much fun to make fun of the guy about this.
"Hey, Josie!" he called, giving her a small nod, "Don't think we've met before. The name's Grayson." Hey hi sup.

The weather's not too bad. It never gets this cold and its summer over there right now so my family's at the beach. Food's really good," he added. Oh yes, the boy missed the food a ton. The food at Hogwarts was pretty decent but he missed his family's cooking. Grayson had transferred from Beauxbatons? Wait. Did that mean the kid was french? "You... You can speak french? That's AWESOME," said Simon with a wide grin. The boy had always wanted to be able to speak in another language. He only knew phrases in different languages so if he ever went to the country, he could only get up to the "Hi, my name is" stage of it all. After that, he'd be cactus.
Oh right the spell. "It's Accio but I'm doing it non-verbally. Here, its pushing the snow on the floor, closer to me, and then its building it up. I only figured out I could do it a couple days ago. Experimentation, " he explained. The other day, he had been experimenting. Peeves had come over and dumped a lot of snow onto him and so Simon tried to fire a snowball from the other side of the room at Peeves. It hadn't worked because the spell made the snow come towards Simon (of course- as that was the purpose of this spell) but instead of hitting Peeves, it smacked Simon right in the nose. But he wasn't going to tell Grayson any of the details cause he had to keep it cool, you know. Grayson couldn't know that Simon was a complete dork.
As Josie walked over Simon nudged Grayson and smirked wickedly. "Friend friend but I didn't tell you," he said winking at the older Slytherin. Ehehe. Simon also took note of Professor Flamsteed and another student arriving. Perhaps they'd both eventually join in the snowball fight. However, the two of them appeared to be having a very serious conversation.
Josie's head instantly whipped around when she'd heard someone actually call her name. As her eyes settled on the boy from before, she would soon find out that it was in fact Simon. A small smile quickly formed across her lips as she watched him smile at her & give her a wave. Without hesitating, she slowly lifted her own arm to give him back a friendly wave. "H-Hi Simon.." What was that last part he'd asked? How had she been? She could only think of one phrase and that was: "I've b-been...Cold.." Yep, that was the best word to describe it.
Before she could ask the nice Slytherin how he was dealing with this cold castle, she found herself stopping short as she noticed that Simon wasn't alone. He was with a boy that she didn't know, although she does recall seeing him around the castle. But his name did escape her though. Perhaps he was a friend of Simon's? Or maybe Ethan? Josie found herself tensing up a bit as she'd approached the two boys & she gave a quick wave to the boy whose name she'd found out was Grayson. Shaking her head to agree with his comment about either of them knowing each other, she then nodded, "I-It's nice to meet you..Grayson...I-I'm Josie.." But wait, did he already know that? Did he already know her or something? He must have, if he knew her name. But shouldn't have known him then?
...Anyways....Hello new stranger...person...boy....
As she stood there her eyes soon took notice of this fort looking building of snow behind the two Slytherins. Her curiosity soon being struck she couldn't help but ask, "..W-What's that?"

I think I'm nearly ready for most subjects, although I'm closer on the subjects that require book study and theoretical application over those that need practical application. Something about this weather just... saps my desire to leave the warm study nest, y'know?" And Mo was good at creating a warm study nest for himself, especially if he could claim one of the couches in front of the fireplace in the common room.
But was he feeling confident? He was feeling comfortable, which wasn't the same thing, but Mo knew that anything could go wrong. The test could be on an entire subject he'd skipped or he could have a bad day. Nothing was for certain. "Oh, don't... don't say things like that. You'll jinx it. I might not even be good enough to make the team, but you'll for sure jinx it if you start saying things like that," Mo flapped a slightly panicked hand at the professor, showing quite plainly that while he wasn't concerned about his NEWTs, he was very concerned about Quidditch.
Mo plowed back into his chicken leg with some embarrassment, which meant he was reaching for the gift from Flamsteed with slightly greasy fingers. He rubbed them clean on his napkin before taking the lint roller gingerly from the professor. What a very thoughtful and hilarious gift. Both things at the same time, which was extremely hard to do. Mo grinned broadly and mimed rolling the top of his well-coiffed hair with the roller. "I can't promise that I won't continue to get myself into sticky situations, sir, but this is one mistake I won't make twice. And really, if the worst that curiosity gets me is having to cut something sticky out of my hair, then I'm probably living my life well and with enthusiastic curiosity." And that's how it should be, to his mind.
"Thanks, sir. I would have remembered you and your classes anyway, but this definitely helps."
The astronomer found himself nodding in agreement to the seventh year's words. While it was one thing to think about being active to keep oneself warm and fight the cold, it was another thing entirely to wake up and willingly stick your bare feet out from under the covers and feel the icy blast of morning air stab at every bit of exposed skin. Although he also found himself selfishly pleased by the Ravenclaw's answer, seeing as Astronomy relied a bit more on the theoretical side of things. If you know the how it was very easy to put into action, especially with charting stars and finding certain elements in the night sky.
"Understandable," he finally said. And nodded. Lots of that. "The relationship between theory and practice is quite an interesting one, and you are most likely getting some of that much needed practice without really realizing that you are." Visualization and whatnot. "Just make sure you get a good night's sleep before them. I can promise you from personal experience that staying up all night to get that extra ounce of studying and memorization done is not as beneficial as some believe it to be."
Oh bugger. One of his trees had fallen off the side of his mountain. He popped that piece of troublesome broccoli into his mouth and selected a new one with his fork.
"Alright alright, no more quidditch praise," he laughed. "No need to flap your arms like that unless you are trying to cast an Air Pumping Charm." He was still going to think it, however, and take a look at his Hallway of Quidditch when he eventually got back to his place...assuming the winter ever let up. Sweet solstice was he in desperate need to get OUT of here. HE WAS RUNNING OUT OF SUITS!
He raised an eyebrow at the slightly greasy fingers - really now, Mr. Branxton, you were going to get your gift all messy already? - but happily handed it over to the young man. It WAS his after all. If he wanted a slightly greasy lint roller with the faint scent of chicken he could have it. "I would certainly hope you wouldn't promise that," he winked as his lips curled up into a smirk. "Life is about getting into those sticky situations and learning from them. They have much value for us if we acknowledge it and make use of this information." So, really, NO need at all to apologize for that. Consequences happened, of course, but if they didn't they one would not know how to improve. "I hope you never lose your enthusiastic curiosity, Mr. Branxton. It is a trait that so many lose over the years as we become this thing called 'adults'." The boy's kind words were touching, really, and probably caused some flushing in the astronomer's ears. "I am excited to hear what the future holds for you."
Nice subtle way to slip in that he would like some correspondence via owl on what was going on. And tickets to matches. Ahem.
"Do you see any gravy around here?" he asked, his head turned left and right as he scanned the table for a gravy boat.

"Cold?" repeated Simon with a wide grin. He nodded. It certainly was chilly in the castle. He certainly agreed with Josie's sentiments. "Definitely cold but thank Merlin for heat charms and many different layers of clothing." Yep, the Slytherin was wearing four different layers of clothes underneath his coat. He was prepared, very prepared. The boy smiled as Josie introduced herself to Grayson and he had to restrain himself from winking at him to say that they would tease Ethan about this later. Hehe. Oh yes, they would certainly tease him and it would be glorious.
What's that?
He raised his eyebrows and turned to see what Josie was looking at. Oh right, the fort! "It's a wall of defense. We're going to be having a snowball fight soon," he explained as his eyes glanced about the table, looking for some suspects. They landed on Airey Flamsteed and he grinned maniacally. "Want to join us?" he offered because having two boys against one girl was just unchivalrous of both Grayson and he. And besides, the two of them were classy gentlemen.
"We should get Flamsteed."
Besides the activity WAS Flamsteed approved after all.

The second year nodded as Simon had repeated her. Oh right! Heat charms, why was she always forgetting to use those?! I-I'll definitely have to remember that one.." She smiled a little bit as she adjusted her coat a little bit to make sure her buttons were all still closed to keep out the cold. A brief thought did cross her mind as to where a certain Slytherin she knew might be, but didn't question it. He was probably off doing something exciting.
She eyed this fort that they had created & then looked back over at Simon as he explained to her that it was a wall of defense. A snowball fight? The second year smiled, "I-I used to have snowball fights w-with my father back home all the time.." She watched as he was glancing about the table, looking at other people & noticed his eyes land on....PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED.
Just as she was about to have a minor panic attack she heard Simon ask if she wanted to join them. She cleared her throat & then nodded her head a little bit.
"U-Um...sure." She whispered, "A-Are you really going to throw a snowball at the Professor?"

"U-Um...sure." She whispered, "A-Are you really going to throw a snowball at the Professor?"
Pretty cool? PRETTY cool?! Jeez, did the kid know that it was AUSTRALIA, a hot country from all that Grayson had heard about it? And what was even BETTER was that Ethan had gone on to mention the beach. "MAN, I wish there was a beach nearby. Or that it was warm enough to go there." And the food thing was a BONUS. Uh huh. Anywhere that had good food was a place worth visiting. LOL. The French question? WAS it awesome? "Oui! Fluent in French and English. Why? You wanna learn?" It was supposed to be the language of luuuuuurve or whatever. Have any secret intentions you want to share, Holden?
HOW IN THE FREAKING NAME OF MERLIN DID THIS BOY KNOW HOW TO DO SPELLS NON-VERBALLY? "You serious? You can cast spells non-verbally?" Jeez, man, way to make Whitty look like a freaking dumb idiot. But thank YOU for telling him what spell to use. Grayson followed suit and started bundling up the snow so that they can make their epic -- mark his words, it was going to be EPIC -- snow fort. A barrier. Which certainly wasn't cowardly, mkay? "You're smart, man. Just try not to get yourself hit and you'll be good. Brilliant, even."
Oh?
OH? A friend friend?
And to think they called him the Ladies Man. Looked like there was SOMEONE ELSE who was getting close to a certain lady. Eyebrow wiggling, indeed.
The urge to smirk was overwhelming but Whitty, being the slick fifteen year old that he was, managed to keep the smirk at bay. "Nice to meet you too, Josie. And nice of you to join in, too." Oh this was going to be FUN. The teasing, the eyebrow wiggling if Josie was around a certain Slytherin that wasn't here. MAN, it was going to be too good of an opportunity to pass up. And of course Simon didn't tell him. 'Course not.
The talk had turned to one about heat charms and throwing snowballs sooooo blue eyes landed on Flammy-o. "Yeah!" he said, looking back at Josie, "He'll be okay with it, I bet, as long as we don't hit that suit of his. Probably even take part, too." Besides, it was FUN.

"A beach would be wonderful. You should come to Australia sometime and hang out," said Simon giving Grayson a nod. The two of them could hit up the beach, sweet talk some girls (or well Grayson sweet-talking and Simon standing there awkwardly), and play cricket. He was fluent in both languages?! No wonder Grayson was such a ladies man, he could speak french, the language of love. He could practically woo all the ladies with a single wave of the eyebrows and french words. "Sure, it'd be practical..." he said. However, he wondered if Grayson would have been teaching Newell this stuff. "Have you tried teaching Newell? She seems good at languages. "
He bit his lip. "Only this one.. I haven't tried any others.. yet," he explained shrugging his shoulders. It wasn't a big deal to Simon. The only thing that mattered to him was getting the spell to work. "It takes practice." Simon chuckled at Whitty's next comments. Yes, yes, try not to get hit. "I won't. Don't worry. You've got yourself covered so you won't get hit," he said. Yes, Whitty was too cool to get hit by a snowball.
Turning to sweet Josette, Simon nodded, giving her a nice grin. He had to make sure that he kept Ethan on her good side but the boy didn't really see a need to do that. It was obvious that Ethan had feelings for her and he had sort of a hunch that Josie may have some sort of feelings back for his friend because he didn't know how else to justify the blushing. Maybe Josette was just one of those people who's cheeks turned bright red in any weather?
He nodded his head really quickly. "Why of course! The activity is Flamsteed Approved anyway so why not?" he said, winking at the sweet Ravenclaw. Then Simon eyed their wall. "We should probably build this up a bit more before firing at him cause he could probably tear it down with one spell at the moment."
