Dungeons.

Ugh. Jun didn't like being down here. It made him feel all types of weird and he didn't like it one bit. Why did Vinnie have to be a Slytherin? Couldn't she be like a Gryffindor, or better, a Ravenclaw so all this effort wouldn't be used. Now he'd have to climb all the way up to the tower later. Whatever. If Vinnie kept him entertained long enough, Jun probably wouldn't mind it later. Sitting on an unoccupied small pillar, Jun swung his legs and quietly sang to himself. At least it would make time go by. Or he could just doze off here until the girl popped out.

At least he hoped she was in the common room.

Vinnie had decided she wanted to take a walk. Maybe through the woods, or maybe to the treehouse she had found. Yeah maybe the treehouse, she could read her new book there. It wasnt too bad outside either and they needed to enjoy it as long as they could.

So the brunette stepped outside of the common room and made her way outside. Well.. That was the original plan, but then she saw a familiar looking boy sitting on a pillar near by. She almost walked past him....what was Jun doing here? With a smile on her face she approached the ravenclaw boy. " Did you get lost, honeybun?" He would never ever live that nickname down. So sad she couldnt use it all the time.

Jun started singing to himself, hopefully waiting for Vinnie to pop out. Or Char, since they were both Slytherins. The boy continued swings his legs and singing. Why was he down here again? He just knew he wanted to hang out with someone, and either Slytherin girls would do. And alas, his partner in crime, the one who would actually said crimes with him, walked out of her common room. He grinned at her.

Oh, there was that nickname again.

"Mhm, because the first place I would come is outside the Slytherin common room," Note that sarcasm, snake. It came around often. But Jun sadly still didn't have a smart nickname for her. And how did he end up with 'honey bun' in the first place? "I got bored in my dorm, so I went looking for someone. Bolton and my girlfriend are most likely doing prefect stuff, Dels hiding in the kitchens," Which he didn't like going to because of two certain people. "Pal, dunno where she is and Char has been M.I.A so I decided to come visit you. Feel special," Because she was originally who Jun was coming to see anyway. Even if Char was his best friend, she didn't like doing the same things as him.

Vinnie plopped down next to him and grinned at him. It was good to see him. Maybe they could start something...Smirk. If he wasnt busy.

„Of course it is, where else would you want to be“, she chuckled,“ we've got these new bean bags. Man i could just lay in them forever.“Those bean bags were amazing, maybe she would sleep in one of them tonight....maybe Char would sleep there with her, or Casper. Did the ravenclaws have them too? If so Jun and her should exchange bean bags, so she would have a blue one and he would have a green one. How fun would that be.

„Oh yeah totally makes me feel special when i am the last choice after everyone else“, she chuckled and stuck her tongue out. Of course the Slytherin was joking, it was nice that he thought of her when he was bored. That was what friends do, maybe next time Vinnie was the one waiting for him in front of the ravenclaw common room. „We should exchange passwords so we can just pop into our common rooms instead of waiting outside for ages“, the brunette grinned and thought she was brilliant. No one had to know about their little secret and if no one knew they couldnt get in trouble. „ So what you got on your mind?“ Vinnie was up to anything...as always.

"Yeah? We have a new head of house, so he put in a book maze and we have to look for the lost diadem of Ravenclaw in it," Fun game too. And thankfully no books fell. But beanbags chairs would be great if Kitrigde had added them to their common room. Or maybe he has? Jun hasn't spent too much time up there since he was always out and about, trying to finding something reckless to do.

Jun laughed. Poor Vinnie needed to know him better. "You'll know when you're my last choice. You'll hear the desperation in my voice," Like that time he asked Andy to go with him to Diagon Alley. Yeah, lots of desperation in his voice that time. And on his free day too. Passwords? "Hm, that would work except the 'claws always have to answer a different riddle to enter the common room. And doesn't your passwords change every two days?" See? Jun knew. Being smart, and research, helped in things like these. Among other things of course. And he still needed to head up to the library for healing charms and potions. "Um, dunno. I was bored. But we should go ride down the stairs on skateboards or something. Try not to break anything,"

„That sounds pretty fun“, Vinnie nodded,“ have you played it yet?“ That was probably a dumb question, Jun probably had won several times already. He was a Ravenclaw for a reason. Vinnie wanted to play this too...could he sneak her in? Would he?“We should totally play it together“, she winked,“ i will totally loose but you should sneak me in.“ The looks on people's faces would be hilaaarious.

Oh... he didnt get that she was joking? Ooops...“ I was kidding honeybun“, the Slytherin laughed,“ i am glad you came to see me. Even waited out here. So sweet.“ Wink. The desperation in his voice?Somehow the girl couldnt imagine that at all. Jun seemed like a person that could be good alone too.
But it sure would be fun to see him beg for someones company, aww.

Damn, Vinnie had forgotten about the ravenclaw rules...why make it so hard to sneak in. „It could still work“, she smirked,“i can tell you the password whenever it changes. So i'd be the one who had to wait. Or maybe try a riddle.“ Snort, she'd soooo fail. It was embarrassing. Maybe they had riddles about history though...Hmmm. „Or we could just buy coins and ask if the other is free.“ You know, make it easy.

„The big Jun Kim gets bored?“, the brunette chuckled,“ i thought all the knowledge you have could keep you up forever?“ It was funny how Jun was super smart and stuff on one side and on the other side he was always up for an adventure.Vinnie wasnt sure if that was exactly how ravenclaws where described in history of Hogwarts, she had to look it up again. If not, it made Jun her partner even more. „Got your skateboard with you?“ She could just head in and get hers quickly, when it came to skateboarding the fifth year could never say no. It was her passion, just like playing the drums.

Jun shook his head. "No, not yet. But really want to play soon. But have to wait for the Grey Lady to pop up and give us the clues," Too bad the ghost didn't stick around too long. Would've made things easier. Or a bribe did. But what did you even bribe a ghost with? This idea he liked. "I'm sure the clues wouldn't be too hard to figure out. Even non-Ravenclaws can figure it out," That was fair, right?

"Oh, I know. I was only saying," Wasn't taken serious at all. Maybe his tone was off. Oops. "Wasn't too sure if you were in the common room either. I would've given you about ten minutes, tops, and just headed back on to sleep in the dorm," Mhm, and then sleep his boredom away. Or play with Charmander. Bringing a pet to school had it's perks too. Especially when he couldn't get cuddles. At least his ferret would lay by his stomach and somehow snuggle up to him. Dunno where the creature learned that from. Jun nodded. Problem solved there. And dorm sleepovers would happen too.

"Yes, Jun Kim is bored and will keep on being bored until you suggest we go do something dangerous," Because that was the best thing to do right now. Gotta get in the adrenaline rush and all. Grinning, Jun nudged his head towards the snake door. For some reason, he thought bringing it today would be a good idea. But with Vinnie, of course it would be.

Vinnie was glad they didnt have a house ghost based game, she wouldnt have the patience to wait and Slytherins house ghost was...an idiot. Yeah. „Do you have dates for the clues?“ Well they should have otherwise they'd have to be at the common room all the time...not very exciting. The brunette hadnt even seen „Even non ravenclaws...thats oh so kind of you“, she laughed. Jun was one of the most house proud people she had ever met, it was kind of cute really.“ So you dont think i am a total fail? I could figure them out?“ It certainly would be fun to try...and see the ravies faces.

„Only 10 minutes?“, the girl snorted,“ i dont know if you remember but i am a female.“ Even though she liked all the boy-ish stuff, Vinnie did need some time in the bathroom. Girls be girls. She would probably wait an hour for him or something, after all he wouldnt be able to sense her presence or anything. „if you're tired we can go to the ror and cuddle.“ Obviously she was joking again, no cuddling taken boys. But it was fun to joke around cause Jun got it.

Awwww look at that, the big Jun Kim came to little innocent Vinnie McFay and asked for rescue. This was a moment worth remembering.“You know i'll always help you out, honeybun“, the fifth year grinned and leaned against the wall. Looking over to the slytherin entrance the grin on her face got bigger. „ I'll head to get mine real quick and we can skate down the staircases, top to bottom?“ They just had to look out for any profs and wannabes. Getting caught would be...disastrous.

"I'm not too sure. She pops up when she thinks enough of us have found the answer and are ready to move on," Which was okay, for the most part. Unless they got stuck and Jun would just flop on the ground and have his partner wake him up. "No, not really. But I'm sure it'll be riddle so you'll have to be good at those," The eagles were already used to it. Only way to get into the common room and all.

"And you guys take way more than ten minutes to get ready. Dunno what for but okay," Ahem. Jun was actually the same way. Especially when he couldn't decide what to do with his hair. Reasons why he just wore a hat at times. Jun grinned. "Cuddles sound really good right now. I'll take you up on that offer," See? He liked friendships like that. All the joking and bonding these two did was probably going to get them stares from other people. But Jun and Vinnie didn't care. Jun was never gonna get used to that nickname. Dunno why either. "Works perfect, I'll be sure to be here when you get back," He nodded.

Perfect. Just what he needed. Something drastic to happen.

„Oh wow, so she is watching you all the time?“ That was a little creepy and Vinnie suddenly felt glad they're house ghost had mood swings and didnt show up a lot of the time. Sometimes there were weird things happening at the Slytherin common room, that better stayed there. Snooort. „I could always try“, she nodded,“ you know i dont think i am a complete fail. Or at least i hope so.“ If she concentrated a little bit more during classes the girl could be so good in soo many classes....but it was always a question of interest for her.

Ten minutes really wasnt a time to get ready...especially not for a girl. There were decisions to be made.“You know it takes some time to look this good“, she flicked her hair and laughed. No, seriously it took the brunette quite some time to look acceptable in the morning, she had a severe case of bedhead syndrome. „How long do you take Mr. Perfect hair? Huh?“ If he said he just woke up like this he was lying. It took already ten minutes to brush your hair and teeth....“I'd say we skateboard the castle and then we cuddle? How does that sound?“ That order seemed a lot more logical to Vinnie, they could power out each other and then cuddle. Maybe have some hot chocolate. Yes please.

„I'll be back in a second“, the Slytherin smiled before disappearing to get her skateboard.

"No, he comes and goes, y'know, goes to wander around the castle to kill time for the next clue," Which was preferred since they took some time to figure out and all. Plus putting clue pieces together wasn't as easy as they sounded. It can completely lead you another way if put wrongly. Jun snorted. "You're acting as if all Ravenclaws are super smart. Have you properly met most of us?" Honestly, Jun was pretty sure most of them were there out of how proud they were. Jun might've been one, but he had the 'claw logics in him. And then there were the ones who were most likely just put there for no good reason.

"Good? You look like you just rolled out of bed and splattered make-up all over your face," He teased, shoving his hands into his face. Mr. Perfect hair? Jun grinned, knowing this face was completely true. "I didn't do my hair this morning. This is my bedhead hair," Jun ruffled his hair. Did she not know this by now? One can really tell when his hair was styled. It looked COMBED. His current hair, definitely not combed at all. Laughing a bit, Jun nodded and agreed. "Seems fitting. We'll cuddle out bruises away and everything," Merlin knew these two would end up with them anyway. Nodding again, the boy swung his legs from above the pillar.

Vinnie came back with her skateboard and smiled .“Ready, muchacho?“

That house ghost definitely had an exciting life....ahem. „Do you think the ghosts meet up for butterbeer or something?“ The bloody baron probably didnt join them, he was a moody idiot. Wel...werent all ravenclaws smart? That was the house trait wasnt it? Obviously not all the Slytherins were ambitious and good friends but each house had three traits..oh maybe some Ravenclaws had the two other traits? Or did you only need one...“Nope. Meet the most important one though.But what do dumb ravenclaws do ?“, the girl chuckled,“ i mean how do they get into the common room?“ That was a serious problem.

Gasp. Did he just say that. Ruuuude Kim, very rude. „Excuse me?“, she said pretending to be offended,“if you dont like my face i can just leave you. Forever.“ Of course she wouldnt do that, Jun was one of her best friends. She'd never leave him. But he didnt have to know that. Hah. Wait...he didnt do his hair this morning? Wow. „You should never do your hair again then“, the brunette grinned,“this bedhead look suits you.Makes you look wild.“ Why did boys have it so ridiculously easy to look good?! This wasnt fair. Cuddling the bruises away sounded really good. Cuddling in general always sounded good. „Lettttsssss head then“, she grinned,“ i cant decide whats gonna be my fave part though.“

Jun nodded, eating a Fizzing Whizbee as he watched Vinnie come towards. "Mhm, I'm sure and they'll clean up the butterbeer that passed right through them afterwards," Jun grinned. Clearly Vinnie hadn't thought this one through very well. The ghosts probably just had their own little strange parties that the living weren't invited to. Maybe even the Headmistress didn't know about them. Secrecy and all. Shrugging, Jun popped another candy into his mouth. Were there really dumb Ravenclaws? "I guess they just wait to go in with someone else. More trouble that way, though,"

"Hm, that would make me upset and depressed. Do you really want that?" Jun said in a serious tone. Obviously, he was joking, but he was also working on his acting skills for the program. Usually came in handy. The boy couldn't help but snort and almost choke on his candy. Was that even the right word to use on him? Like those times Vinnie called him hot, cute, adorable. All those words that were never going to fit into his criteria. "Wild? More like a mess," Jun ruffled his hair and saw it made no improvement to his look. Nope. Carefully getting off the pillar, Jun grabbed his skareboard and started walking. "Favorite part of use almost killing ourselves?"

Kyroh actually had no clue where he was. Like...really. He knew the Slytherin Common Room was somewhere here but where exactly? No clue.

Maybe he was lost?

He was trying to look for Kenzie and now...he was lost. The first year glanced around a corner before turning the other way and was met by a wall. Could the wall point in in the direction of his cousin?

There was something fantastic in knowing that all of your homework was done - especially when it had originally threatened to take over and win. Win over your free time, and your grades and your life... but with the tuition that her Uncle Dash had given her over the years, all of McKenzie's due papers were finished and she had even rewritten and sorted out most of the terms notes for when she started studying for her exams.

Now though, she was going to relax and maybe see if she could find Kyroh. She hadn't seen him in a few days other than waving over the tables of breakfast food and half-sleeping students... and she'd promised to look out for him so here she was. Looking out for him. Literally.

Fortunately, it didn't take her long to find her favourite person in the world (okay, top five - but she'd never tell the others either), and she grinned as she watched him for a few seconds trying to figure out what to do about the dead-end before she took pity on him. "Y'know, you'll get somewhere much more exciting if you give me a hug." She grinned, leaning her shoulder casually against the cold stone.

Kyroh wasn't dull. He knew that walls didn't talk back to people but you know what? Sometimes in the Wizarding World they did. So sometimes you just had to try and ask even if it made you look silly. He raised his hand and gave the wall a small knock but got no response.

It was probably just a normal wall then right? If he was a talking wall he'd definitely say something if someone knocked on him. He looked at it for a second longer though, just incase, when a familiar voice filled the corridor. Turning Kyroh BEAMED. "KENZIE!!!" He didn't know HOW but somehow his feet had made his way over to his cousin and his arms had wrapped tightly around her."Where are we gonna go that's more exciting?!?"

Having leant down in expectation, Kenzie did something that had NEVER happened before Kyroh had started earlier in the year. She pulled a fellow student into a deep hug and gave him a hug that proved just how much she loved him. Oh yeah, people better beware. Heh. Though, that wasn't to say that she hadn't sneaked into Uncle Dash's office after dinner to have tuition lessons and to talk about her Mum and Dad and anything that came to mind. She had loved having her Uncle at school.

"Oh, I don't really know - but anywhere is better than looking at a wall." She grinned and ruffled his hair a little. "Did you get dinner?" She asked him, just to make sure. Kenzie pulled him in close once more and hugged him again - just because she knew what it was like to be away from family for so long. At least he had her for another year and a bit. By then, he'd be used to being away from Uncle Dash for most of the year. Heh. If he wasn't already.

Kenzie was on his list. His list for good huggers. She was.

She had always been a good hugger though, but her hugs had gotten even BETTER some how. Kyroh guessed it was because Kenzie reminded him of home. With her hugs he could pretend that he was hugging his uncle, or his dad or his mum. And so there was no way he'd ever consider her a bad hugger.

He bobbed his head as she spoke, arms still wrapped around. "And that wall isn't even a good wall either. It doesn't even talk." He was sure of it. He let his arms drop but a smile was still plastered on his face. "I did! Mashed potatoes and chicken." Kyroh lifted up his shirt and patted his tummy, as if it was some sort of proof. To him it made sense. "Did you??"

McKenzie smiled as she watched him lift up his shirt to prove that he had had dinner. "Good, did you like it?" She asked him as she reached to take his hand instead of hugging him. "I had the same thing, with veggies and gravy. It looked like I had a floating potato iceberg in a gravy sea." She said, happy to be a little silly around Kyroh. He was after all, one of her favourite people and anyone who over heard her would get glared at. A lot.

She laughed and started to walk away from the boring non-talking wall. "Well, it some times groans, but that is about it. You're right, it doesn't talk though." She grinned. "We could go and talk to some of the paintings, or go for a walk since its still nice outside." She looked down at him, happy to be spending some time with Ky. "What do you want to do?" She asked.

"You're not suppose to play with your food." Kyroh responded matter-of-factly to the older girl. It was something that his dad had told him quite a few times before, so he had to have told her right? Or at least Uncle Cai did. Because to him potato icebergs sounded like she was playing with her food.

The wall groaned? Kyroh's head whipped back to the wall. Why hadn't it groaned to him? Mean wall. He couldn't concentrate on that though. Not when there were fun times to be had with his cousin. "It's freezing outside Kenzie!" Like REALLY, REALLY cold. He had no clue why. It was strange. Kyroh never knew it could be that cold either. "Do you want to turn into an icicle?" If she REALLY wanted to he guessed they could go play outside.

"I want to climb walls." The first year answered as if it were the most normal thing in the world.
