Image credited to Govoni On the very edge of the forest is a massive tree that houses a wooden fort high up in its branches. A rope ladder hangs down from the lowest level for easy access.
From the Outside it looks to be small. Big enough to fit only four. maybe five at time. but once you come in through the latched door you'll find that the inside has been expanded. Wooden Benches stretch across the perimeter of the the indoors, each with a window you can open up to let the light filter in. Tables are placed at random around the inside, with small stools placed around each of them, just in case you wanted one more place to do all the Homework your Professor's are gonna pile up on you.
Oh is that a Shuffleboard Court painted into the floor, off to the side!!?? Yes it is! Use the Shuffleboard sticks, and pucks ONLY FOR SHUFFLEBOARD!
Just above you is a balcony that will overlook the rest of the inside. Two small couches sit up here for you to lounge, chit-chat, and NOT SNOG your significant other on.
Any damage caught being done to the Tree House will result in serious Consequence. Don't mess with Mr.Kirby.

The Gryffindor turned around to see the person who decided to bother her when she was about to take a nap.
NO WAY???!!!! WHY...??!!! Why it had to be Angel of all people? "Why you're so cruel to me universe? What did I ever do to you?" she mumbled.
"Hey. Can I help you with something, Angel?"
Errr... was this one mumbling to herself? A thought immediately came to her head that it might not be such a bad idea if she just quietly left the tree house, and pretended that this never never happened. BUT the tree house was really cool, and she didn't want to leave on account of there possibly being a psycho standing in front of her. "What was that?"
Did she need help? Nope, well yeah, but in this situation no not really. Ahhh... this one thought that she was Angel. She was just about to go on and tell her that she was a triplet, but she thought that she could have a little fun with this. "Nope, just checking out the tree house. Pretty cool huh?"
ooc. Sorry for lateness. She loves Jun for helping her though :33

"Like it's my pleasure to help you out in singing," Jun playfully pinched her cheek and listened attentively to Pal's singing. Whoa. What was that? Okay, he can help with this. "Try inhaling from your stomach, never from your chest. You become short breathed when doing that," He showed her again, pressing his hands against his stomach and singing the note. That's one thing a lot of people did; sing from their chests instead of using their entire diaphragms. Notes usually sounded clearer that way.
Pal wrinkled her eyebrows and really went to put herself in Jun's shoes, or feet when that accident happened. "OY." She shook her head, but then nodded. "Well, how about if next time, we meet only at the Room of Requirement, for us to have instruments to practice, and maybe even material to work on for your acting lessons." After all, that room provided everything they required, right? She didn't want to make feel Jun uncomfortable at all, even if it meant a long ago trauma like that.
The pinch on her cheeks. She couldn't help but let a small pinkish blush run through at sight. She cleared her throat and listened as Jun explained, AGAIN, how she SHOULD do it, and how clear her voice notes would hear if she actually tried as instructed.
Okay, here goes second try...
"ah...ah...ah...Ah...Ah...Ahh...Ahh...AH..." She calmly sang, feeling her diaphragm expand and deinflate as she did it. When finished, she blinked and hoped for that grin of approval from Jun. Maybe it wasn't so perfect as his, but she had made the little exercise, for once...like she had never accomplished with any other music teacher, EVER.
Though, like always...she bit her lip, her little tic of nerves showing off.

Jun nodded. "That would make things a lot easier for us. Since it's already on our floor, less effort in getting there," Not to mention they wouldn't have to climb all those stairs back up. Good workout, but hell after a dance rehearsal and all. No need to go tumbling back down the stairs and end up with the healer. Mean healer, that is. Oh, and his acting lessons! Yeah, he really needed those for his trainee program. That program was gonna make the boy too exhausted one day from everything he needed to do. But it was basically his future right there.
There you go.
Jun grinned and nodded his head at Pal. "See? That wasn't so hard, was it?" A little shaky, but practice always helped with that. Jun didn't need to remind her about things she should avoid in consuming. Pal was a performer so it was common sense for them both. "Those are just warm ups for notes. Anything else you want help in?"

“Sure, thank you”, she smiled and plopped down next to him. How nice that he made space for her. So far the brunette didn’t mind sharing the treehouse with him. “I am Vinnie”, the girl grinned leaning back on the sofa and pulling her legs up. Ahhhh comfy. How had she never heard of this treehouse_ Was it new? Or had it been there all the time while she had been moping around?!
Once again the brunette sighed at herself, in her head. How did she spend a full year without exploring and talking to anyone? No wonder she had felt like she didn’t belong, cause she had made herself the outsider.
Luckily the new term started off amazing and with this treehouse here it could only get better.
And then she saw it…. The view you had from up here and gasped. It was beautiful. Wow
Oh look! She had manners. Good for her.
Grayson nodded at her as a way of saying 'you're welcome'. Honestly, she started it by coming up to him. It was part of the protocol for him to make room for her but if she was taking it nicely, he wasn't going to say no. Vinnie? "It's nice to meet you, Vinne." She was even smiling, too. And making herself comfortable. Er, okay. Whatever floats your boat, Vinnie. "The name's Grayson." Hellooooooo to you.
He was watching the girl curiously, of course. Because she was new and had oh-so-casually come up to him, for once. Was she planning on saying anything? Or was he going to have to be the one to make small talk? Ugh. Small talk was NOT something he liked doing. Who wanted to be sitting there and talking about the freaking weather? LAME. And not to mention VERY boring. "It's not a bad spot to sit." There. Small talk.
Jun nodded. "That would make things a lot easier for us. Since it's already on our floor, less effort in getting there," Not to mention they wouldn't have to climb all those stairs back up.

Jun didn't need to remind her about things she should avoid in consuming. Pal was a performer so it was common sense for them both. "Those are just warm ups for notes. Anything else you want help in?"
Alright. Now time and space was set for the mutual lessons. But she was curious about why would he need acting lessons, if he sang beautifully and danced, too. "By chance, why would you need to sharpen your acting skills, Jun? Are you planning to do something about that...soon?" Because for Paloma, she had to do it to enter her internship and en route performing program, but it'd be neat and fair if Jun came more clear about his intentions about acting.
With a sigh of relief, she grinned wide and obviously took to note the way that her body had just done with the diaphragm and her voice, the notes. FLAIL. "Umm, now that you mention it. I assume you perform from time to time, right? So, what do you do, like a mini advice on how to get rid of nerves." She had many, but when it came to singing, everything else failed, and the whole act came to ashes.
She even put her puppy eyes, not intentionally, but in hope to get a reasonable and practical way to avoid those feelings.

"See anything interesting?"
Vinnie still couldnt believe Hogwarts had a treehouse now. Hah, her mum couldnt tell her no here. She'd probably come here everyday now. To do homework, to read, to have parties, to do anything. At least in summer. Treehouses werent warm enough for winter. „Its nice to meet you too“, she smiled at him.
It was crazy how many people she had met now that she wasnt hiding in the library anymore. Hogwarts didnt seem bad at all anymore and she felt quite good being her. Maybe she had let go. Finally.“Hi there Grayson“, she nodded at him. This had to be the first time someone didnt ask about her full name or if it stood in any relation to something. Score, Grayson. Well done.
„Its a pretty good spot to sit“, the Slytherin agreed,“ this might be my new fave thing about Hogwarts.“ Besides the friends she made and the history lessons. She was sooooooo excited about history classes. Could they volunteer to be assistants? Cause she definitely would.
„I am just looking out in general“, the girl shrugged,“ i like being high up.“ That made it even worse that she sucked at Quidditch. Like she was good at flying but the game? Not really, at least not as Seeker. Terrible.“ How did you find it?“ The treehouse, obviously.

She really did have manners, didn't she? Maybe this meant that he had to be nice.
Yeah, MAYBE.
And she had already said hi to him so the boy was a bit confused as to why she was saying it yet again. Was she really that happy to see him? Or was she just one of those people that just said hi multiple times? Seeing as he had just met her, he didn't know which one it could be but the second one was definitely close to the loony side. The Slytherin let out a small snort and a chuckle before saying, "Hi Vinnie! What year are you in?" Might as well ask, yeah?
Don't turn him into a loony. It wasn't going to happen.
Good, she was agreeing. Grayson nodded along, shifting his gaze from the brown haired girl to the grounds. "Your old favourite thing's going to be upset at being knocked off the top spot." It could be true. "What was your old favourite thing about Hogwarts?" This would be a good judge of character to see whether she said something fun like the kitchens or something boring like the library.
Well, her answer wasn't that interesting or something he could carry on the conversation with so, the boy shrugged. 'Twas fair and all. "What? Like on roofs? Flying?" Or did she mean something else? "Oh, I was just wandering around and came across this place and thought I'd have a look. Treehouses. They're brilliant." Not one of the most epic stories he had heard. "You?"
Alright. Now time and space was set for the mutual lessons. But she was curious about why would he need acting lessons, if he sang beautifully and danced, too. "By chance, why would you need to sharpen your acting skills, Jun? Are you planning to do something about that...soon?"

She even put her puppy eyes, not intentionally, but in hope to get a reasonable and practical way to avoid those feelings.
Jun had never mentioned the trainee program to Pal. Well, she never asked.And Jun only told the people he actually talked to. Those could be counted on his one hand. Sad, ain't it? Well, now it was a bit more with new people he's met this year so far. "I'm a trainee for a music label and their program requires I learn acting, Chinese, Japanese, rapping, and instruments to get in. I only have three of out six requirements," And if he didn't improve on either of them, he'd get kicked out and there went his dreams of making it big one day.
Actually, he didn't. "I don't perform time to time. I rarely do, only at auditions," Which were brutal and exhausting. Do not recommend for quitters. But she wanted advice on how to not be nervous anymore? Awwh. That was an easy thing for him. "Pretend you're rehearsing by yourself. Even if it's an audition, pay no mind to everyone else. Also helps if you think of something really funny before hand to make your nerves go away," That way you mind wouldn't be focused on the audition, but the funny thing. As long as you you know you still have to be focused while performing.

She kept to herself and to her best friend Jakoby, but he wasn't here right now, so she was all alone... which she assumed made her more approachable. Cool.
She smiled at the girl. "It's very nice, yes. A lot different from the view I'm used to back home." When she looked outside her bedroom windows, all she saw was an endless collection of buildings. One of the perks of living in the city. But being a girl that loved nature, she had to say she preferred this view.
The view WAS really nice, and for a moment, Penelope couldn't help picturing how much nicer it would be if she was flying. She was able to distract herself from the cancellation of Quidditch most of the time, but other times, like right now, she longed to be on a broom again. The view from here was pretty, but it would look so much differently when looking at it from all angles while on a broom. Meh.
Those thoughts lasted only a couple seconds though and then she was listening to the girl. "What's your view at home like?" Just curious, especially since different could probably be a lot of things.

He nodded in understanding when she mentioned that she missed doing all the artistic stuff that she used to do back in the Academy. He knew how that felt. There was no way in heck he was going to be able to sing and dance in the shower like he used to do back home, here in Hogwarts. If caught, he suspected he would be the not so friendly talk among the students. However, he was used to hiding his secret having done that for many years while he was attending Durmstrang.
And that's why he was taken aback when she posed the same question back at him. "Uh...um...I don't mind a little singing. Dancing?....um....I much prefer doing mixed martial arts," he informed Demelza. Well it was the truth. He hadn't been lying when he said he loved martial arts. He even incorporated it into his hip hop moves.
Then he chuckled when she asked about Quidditch. "Uh uh. I play the game leisurely, but I'm not a Quidditch jock. I'd much prefer rock climbing, swimming, running and speed skating and of course mixed martial arts...and I'm repeating myself again, aren't I?," Cris sheepishly laughed in embarassment.
He noticed her looking over at Bay and Lux when they both had called over and then grinned at her conspiratorially wink. Shaking his head, he laughed back,"Nope we're not doing anything suspicious at all. Just we're just two people hanging out and chatting like every other person here does,"
Cris wondered whether Demelza had a boyfriend. Surely someone as pretty as her would have to have one. He wanted to broach the subject with her, but at the same time felt uncomfortable doing it. What if she misunderstood and thought that he was trying to find out whether she was available to date or not. Not that he wanted to date her or anything. Heck, he had only just met her. Besides, he liked Jasmine...a lot.
Any embarrassment that she had before was now gone. Demelza was now completely focused on what Cris had to say in response to her question about whether he was a total Quidditch jock (borrring!) or a dabbler of the arts. She had noticed his little slip up before about twirling around, so it was only in her nature to get to the bottom of that. Not very many people she had met at Hogwarts were really serious about the arts like she was. It was Quidditch this and Quidditch that. But maybe, just maybe, she could get someone to help her practice. Even though she knew she was an amazing actress, Demelza still needed encouragement and some constructive criticism. Also, she wouldn't mind having someone cute to look at from time to time. Ahem.
She was just about to tell Cris that he didn't have to answer her. He seemed so taken aback with her question. Was he not comfortable saying? Was it all a big secret? But he answered anyway. That made things a little easier. She would have gotten that information out of him one way or another. And for confiding in her, Demelza gave Cris a sincere smile. "Just a little singing?" she asked, giving him one of her oh-really looks. And she nodded at the martial arts bit. It made sense since he had gone to Durmstrang. Martial arts was their thing over there, right?
Before she could even register anything else because she was busy picturing Cris doing martial arts and singing, the boy was rattling off all of the things he was interested in. She did, however, catch on to the rock climbing, swimming, running, and speed skating before he repeated himself again. Well, that would explain those muscles. "Wowza! You seem like a well-rounded person, Cris," she said, truly impressed. "That is quite a list you have there."
"And I would love to hear you sing someday," Demelza added in quietly, so no one else but him could hear her. Maybe they could duet one day! That is, if he wanted to. No pressure. Sort of.
Errr... was this one mumbling to herself? A thought immediately came to her head that it might not be such a bad idea if she just quietly left the tree house, and pretended that this never never happened. BUT the tree house was really cool, and she didn't want to leave on account of there possibly being a psycho standing in front of her. "What was that?"
Did she need help? Nope, well yeah, but in this situation no not really. Ahhh... this one thought that she was Angel. She was just about to go on and tell her that she was a triplet, but she thought that she could have a little fun with this. "Nope, just checking out the tree house. Pretty cool huh?"
Sigh.
Why did Angel had to choose this place to explore? Why can't her fellow Gryffindor choose the Blake Lake or Whomping Willow? Why.....????? Why....???
Candice knew that Angel was a triplet but she didn't realize or thought that the girl in front of her was one of Angel's triplet. "Uh uh." Nodnodnod. "How do you like Hogwarts so far?" she asked. Maybe she should tried being nice to Angel since they're in the same house and all.

"Oh, I was just wandering around and came across this place and thought I'd have a look. Treehouses. They're brilliant." Not one of the most epic stories he had heard. "You?"
Vinnie laughed a little as she heard the boy snort. Somehow it always amused her when boys snorted, like it wasnt a common thing for them to do was it?!“ Fifth year Slytherin“, she nodded, „ and you?“ He looked about her age, maybe younger or maybe older. Probably not a Slyhterin though, Vinnie had spent a lot of time in the commom room lately. Especially cause they had gotten the green bean bags now. They were soooooo comfy.
But now she had found a new place, maybe she could bring a bean bag up there? Jun would help her. He totally would. That would be perfect, bean bag and treehouse could it get any better?
„My old fave should be quiet then“, the girl chuckled. Grayson was funny, he probably didnt even realise.“ I transfered from Durmstrang last term and i am just getting out of my shell now.“ That shell metaphor was quite fitting. „ I used to spent a lot of them at the libaray last term“, the Slytherin shrugged,“ i am in to history.“ People always found it strange how she liked history so she didnt really expected Grayson to think any different. He looked more like the sports type. „my fave thing was and is and will always be food though“, Vinnie chuckled. Food totally was the key to her heart.
„Like flying, on roofs, on hot air balloons, on rollercoasters“, the fifth year nodded,“ basically anywhere high up. I need to find the highest tree and climb it.“ The view from there probabaly was just as amazing as it was here, or maybe even better. Oh...so he had found it just the way she had found it. „Ive always wanted a treehouse but my mum forbit it.....“.

AJ totally got the impression that this girl didn't really care for Angel and she wanted to get to the bottom of it. Mainly though she just really wanted to have a little fun.
"Hogwarts is cool so far." She had to remember to act more like Angel would just in case that this girl would pick up on it. "What's your favorite thing about Hogwarts?" Angel would be mad if she knew that she was impersonating her, but she would let the girl know... eventually.

"Hogwarts is the COOLEST." There's no place like Hogwarts. She was pretty sure that French school and Durm school weren't as cool as their school.
What's her favorite thing about Hogwarts? Hmm..That's a very tough question. "The Giant Squid. I haven't get the pleasure to see him with my own eyes but I'm looking forward to meet him." She probably had to visit the Groundskeeper and asked him on where's the Giant Squid hideout. "What about you?" Look at her, she was being polite and all. Her brother would be so proud.

Yup. Hogwarts was the coolest. The girl wouldn't get any arguments from here there. "Way better than muggle school." Yup, she learned a new word and now that she knew what it meant she could use it all she wants.
"There's a giant squid?" She shouldn't be that surprised really given everything that goes on at the school. "I have to see that." So, if she found out where to find the thing she should totally let a sister know. "Hmmm.... I think my favorite thing so far are the ghosts." It was pretty cool that they were there and there was one particular one that was a bit of a prankster that she had her eyes on.
"There's still so much that I need to explore though." She really hadn't seen much of the castle considering that she had been so busy with lessons and such. "How are you liking the lessons?" AJ thought they were pretty wicked herself.
The ants go marching one by one. Hoorah! Hoorah! Uhhh... Cat didn't remember the rest of the song... so she just continued watching the ants crawl over the tree trunk and then she started counting them. She'd gotten to 45 when she heard a voice. And got a HUG! Cat loved hugs! She squeezed Delilah with all of her strength and released the girl to grin at her. "Wonderful. I was counting ants. I might've started naming them if you hadn't come along." Which was a good thing cause then she would have gotten sort of attached to them and that was not a good thing.
Tilting her head, she gave Delilah a very serious look. "I was promised sandwiches." Not that she needed to be bribed to spend time with a friend, but... sandwiches..
BLINK.
Did Cat just say that she was counting ants? Delilah slowly grinned and shook her head a little. Heh. "Well, would you have named one of them after me?" Y'know, just curious. Was Delilah a pretty name for an ant? Maybe. An ant named after her.. now, wouldn't that be pretty cool?
Sandwiches! Ooops. In her excitement to learn throwing punches, she had completely forgotten about the sandwiches she had promised Cat! Ugh. Delilah felt like such a jerk now.. especially since Cat LOVED food. The blonde gave the other girl an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry. I can make them for you later today? Would that be alright?"
"So cool..." she whispered under her breath and walked closer to the tree, still staring up at it. It was so... small... but.. it was a house in a tree. She wasn't really good at climbing trees, so this made it all the easier.
Walking closer and reaching out toward the ladder, she took hold of it and began to pull herself up slowly, paying attention to her footing and hand placement as she went, not fully trusting her ability to climb things properly. She shuddered a little, feeling a slight breeze and finally reached the top.
Bigger on the inside.
She should have guessed.

Kace was excited to go to the tree house. He didn't explore here yet. He was excited to do so. He started to climb and made his way to the top easy. As he got to the top, he noticed someone else was here. It was a girl and she seemed new. He didn't see her before. He approached her carefully not wanting to scare her. "Heyy.." he began. "I am Kace.." he said. "You new to this sort of thing?" he asked sensing her apprehension.

She had noticed his little slip up before about twirling around, so it was only in her nature to get to the bottom of that. Not very many people she had met at Hogwarts were really serious about the arts like she was. It was Quidditch this and Quidditch that. But maybe, just maybe, she could get someone to help her practice. Even though she knew she was an amazing actress, Demelza still needed encouragement and some constructive criticism. Also, she wouldn't mind having someone cute to look at from time to time. Ahem.
She was just about to tell Cris that he didn't have to answer her. He seemed so taken aback with her question. Was he not comfortable saying? Was it all a big secret? But he answered anyway. That made things a little easier. She would have gotten that information out of him one way or another. And for confiding in her, Demelza gave Cris a sincere smile. "Just a little singing?" she asked, giving him one of her oh-really looks. And she nodded at the martial arts bit. It made sense since he had gone to Durmstrang. Martial arts was their thing over there, right?
Before she could even register anything else because she was busy picturing Cris doing martial arts and singing, the boy was rattling off all of the things he was interested in. She did, however, catch on to the rock climbing, swimming, running, and speed skating before he repeated himself again. Well, that would explain those muscles. "Wowza! You seem like a well-rounded person, Cris," she said, truly impressed. "That is quite a list you have there."
"And I would love to hear you sing someday," Demelza added in quietly, so no one else but him could hear her. Maybe they could duet one day! That is, if he wanted to. No pressure. Sort of.
"You want to hear me sing?" the question slipped out before Cris realized what he had said. It wasn't so much what he said, but how he had said it. A little on the high pitch, like he was totally surprised she had even mentioned him doing that. Realizing his mistake, he quickly lowered the pitch back to normal mode.
Coughing to clear the pixie frog in his throat, Cris repeated the question again. "You would like to hear me sing one day? Believe me, you don't want to hear me sing, Cris laughed, quickly looking around to make sure no one had heard his initial squeak.
"I just do the occasional warble in the showers. You, no critics that way," he grinned back at her. Leaning against the side rails of the treehouse, Cris folded his arms and looked at Demelza. "[B]However, I would love to hear you sing, and dance and act. I give you my word, I'll be very objective.[/b[" he smiled at her. Then an idea popped into his head.
"Hey, maybe if it's okay with you, I could bring Jasmine along. She loves to dance too," Cris pointed out to Demelza.

Demelza nodded her head immediately after Cris asked if she wanted to hear him sing. Then she giggled a little as he asked that in a pitch that didn't quite match. She gave him an apologetic look, showing that she meant no harm in her giggling. But it was a little funny seeing a handsome, well-built guy slip up like that. However, she was not going to linger on that for very long. Her ears needed to hear a certain someone's voice.
Arms crossed when Cris told her that she didn't want to hear him sing. Did he not hear her properly? She had said that she wanted to hear him sing, did she not? "And why wouldn't I want to hear you sing?" Demelza asked him, raising an eyebrow. Was he tone deaf? Did he have a nasal singing voice? Could he not keep rhythm or pitch? Oh, the questions! And then Cris revealed to her that he only sang on occasion in the shower. Well, then ... uhh ... "But what if you are an amazing singer? Like, Broadway-type singing? You will never know unless you sing for someone."
That someone should be her, by the way. Because she knew talent when it walked right under her nose. Mhhm.
Speaking of talent, he wanted to hear her sing and see her act and dance. Demelza's face brightened when Cris said this. Wish granted! But then he mentioned that Jasmine girl again, whoever she was, and muttered that he could bring her along. Was this a diva-off? Well, well, well. Challenge accepted. "Perfect. When and where?"
Yup. Hogwarts was the coolest. The girl wouldn't get any arguments from here there. "Way better than muggle school." Yup, she learned a new word and now that she knew what it meant she could use it all she wants.
"There's a giant squid?" She shouldn't be that surprised really given everything that goes on at the school. "I have to see that." So, if she found out where to find the thing she should totally let a sister know. "Hmmm.... I think my favorite thing so far are the ghosts." It was pretty cool that they were there and there was one particular one that was a bit of a prankster that she had her eyes on.
"There's still so much that I need to explore though." She really hadn't seen much of the castle considering that she had been so busy with lessons and such. "How are you liking the lessons?" AJ thought they were pretty wicked herself.
Muggle school? Her ears perk up when she heard that word. "You went to Muggle School before Hogwarts?" Was that mean Angel was a muggleborn?
She didn't know about the Giant Squid? Hah. Candice knew something that she didn't know that made her a bit smug. "There is. You never heard the story?" If she's in fact a muggleborn she might not know the story of Giant Squid that lived in Hogwarts. "I heard the Squid lives in the Lake." Her favorite thing was Ghosts? "Yeah, the ghosts are pretty cool." Especially Sir Nicholas. "Did you know that some weak Gryffindor first year puked when she saw Sir Nicholas nearly headless head during the feast?" That almost costed Candice her appetite. "Have you meet Peeves?" She hasn't had a chance to meet the Hogwarts residence prankster but she would love to meet him.
Yeah. She hadn't seen much of the castle herself. "The lessons are great. I got to use my wand which was so COOL." What a great experience. She was hoping to learn more spells though. "What's your favorite so far?"

"I did. I only found out that I was magical right before I was due at Hogwarts." She was so glad that she was magical because everything that she was learning here was so cool and sooo much fun.
"Story? What story?" There were apparently so many stories and AJ was so out of the loop. She had managed to learn a lot from her friend Ian and Adi, but there was just so much to know and it was her first year after all. She was sure that she would be able to find out a lot on her own, but she kind of hated not knowing things. Plus, sometimes people tried to trick her and tell her lies. AJ was not sure who she should trust with things. "It lives in the lake?" Well, she was sure that if it did live anywhere, then that's where it would be. "Show me." She was going to call the girl's bluff. "Somebody puked? I must have missed that." Ghosts were nothing to get your stomach in knots over. "I have met Peeves and he is a hoot." Well, when he was targeting you personally anyways.
"The magical stick is really cool. I just wish that I knew how to work it better." She knew that it would come with time, but she wanted to be able to master it now. "I think my favorite so far is Potions. All of the lessons have been wicked though." The whole strength potion and arm wrestling was hard to beat. "What about you?"
Kace was excited to go to the tree house. He didn't explore here yet. He was excited to do so. He started to climb and made his way to the top easy.

With folded arms and a slightly tilted head, Coral took a few steps forward. It was so big. So very big. Her eyes darted this way and that, taking in the whole place. There was some sort of weird game looking thing off to the side. Was it a muggle game? Not that she was overly familiar with wizarding sports, but still. It looked strange.
Hearing a voice, Coral-Bay's eyes darted in the direction, her head turned as well as her entire body so that she could be face to face with the boy.
A hufflepuff. A cute hufflepuff. She put on a smile for the boy and introduced herself as well. "Hi, I'm Coral-Bay." She rubbed at her arms, feeling a bit uncomfortable by the sudden introductions. "To what sort of thing are you referring?" Cue the friendly smile.

Kace saw her smile so he didn't scare her. That was a good thing. Oh interesting name. "Coral-Bay interesting name...I like it." he smiled back to her. He noticed she was rubbing her arms and he asked with a quizzical look, "Are you cold?" He didn't think it was cold in here but then again he was used to 40 below temperatures. "Well i am referring to climbing Tree Houses." he said answering her question. "You looked like a newbie when i saw you climbing up here, just making sure you were settled in." he shrugged.
The view WAS really nice, and for a moment, Penelope couldn't help picturing how much nicer it would be if she was flying. She was able to distract herself from the cancellation of Quidditch most of the time, but other times, like right now, she longed to be on a broom again. The view from here was pretty, but it would look so much differently when looking at it from all angles while on a broom. Meh.
Those thoughts lasted only a couple seconds though and then she was listening to the girl. "What's your view at home like?" Just curious, especially since different could probably be a lot of things.
"It's nice," Lambrini smiled to herself at the memory of her view. She pulled her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on her knee caps. "I'm from New York City, so there's lots of buildings. Being here is quite different, obviously. There's tons of trees, and it's quiet... but I like it. I like being out here and smelling the fresh air. It's... refreshing. Hogwarts has its own hustle and bustle, but it's never overwhelming, like NYC can be at times." Realizing she was rambling, the girl giggled and buried her face in her knees for a moment. "I'm sorry. I talk too much." She lifted her head and smiled up at the girl as she offered her her hand to shake. "I'm Lambrini. What's your name?"
