Everything was perfectly set up.

Buckets overturned. Wand lit and set in it's made-for-super-secret-stuff crack in the wall. Kyroh had even managed to borrow some cushions from the library to set on top of the buckets to make them more comfortable.

SPECS was READY for the FIRST meeting of second year.

Straightening his bow tie, Kyroh opened the door to the broom closet and stepped out. Closing it quickly he bent down and looked around. Once the coast was clear he undid both shoelaces and sloooowly began to do the left one up again.

Toast and Scribbulus should be around any second one.

Toast in the hizzle. What what.

LOL, actually, it was just Dima. But Toast sounded way cooler, right? Whoever he was, the facts remained the same- he was tiny, held a plate full of doughnuts and crunchy bread in his wiry arms, and knew someone was trying to STEAL their club food. Or it seemed that way, because he kept glancing around shiftily. Saw you, invisible thief person. Saw you.

But it was alright. He could get past the inconspicuous lurker.

Toast!Dima was stealth, clearly.

AND THERE WAS THE CLOSET. Storage area of brooms, sanctuary for all spies everywhere. He had arrived in one piece, with his food and bow tie all intact. "Specs! I made it!" Take that, embodiment of evil trying to follow him. Hah. In your non-existent FACE.

A certain bow tied brunette had taken her time getting to the broom closet, site of things and stuff that couldn't actually be named. She'd secured a rather small notebook and a pencil, one that fit perfectly inside her cardigan. THIS way if anyone tried to stop her, she could conceal it in a hurry. SMART, that's what that was. She also had a box in her hands. Small box. Box-o-bow ties she'd nicked from her brothers. No worries, they didn't wear them much anyway.

Approaching the spot where things and stuff happened, the twelve year old smiled at the site of her best f-words. Her ONLY f-words, really. (Dot was still under consideration, y'see) And Toast had food and Specs was doing a good job seeing if the coast was clear.

"Scribbulus has arrived." GRIN! "Hi."

Footsteps.

He heard them.

Uh.

Kyroh scrambled to get his wand out of his holster but paused. Wouldn't that be suspicious if he had his wand out? He pulled back his hand but stopped again. But.....he WAS a wizard so wouldn't it be suspicious to NOT have his wand out?

It was a good thing that it wasn't a real threat because Kyroh nearly jumped in surprise when a VOICE spoke. DIMA-er-TOAST. He would have HUGGED his friend if he wasn't carrying yummy food that was made for stomachs and not floors, when hugs happened. "I see that! Unless you're not you, then you didn't." GRIN. Dima WAS Dima though.Lifting his hand opened the door and ushered him in.

But not before a salute.

(That made stuff official, yeah?)

But before Dima even entered, Maddie arrived!! HE WAS SO RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME! "HI!" Salute to her TOO. Inside, inside inside. Kyroh basically shoved them both in, because why not?

"I am me! I think." How was he supposed to know for sure again?

Dima was a very good sport about being ushered (read:shoved) inside by Kyro- SPECS, and he immediately took a seat on his bucket. Hey, it was even cushioned now! This was luxury, this was. Dougnuts and toast in a broom closet with your best F-words? It didn't get better than that.

"Are we allowed to say hi? Should we say something more OFFICIAL? Like... like.... salutations."

And there was Maddie! Perfect time to try it out, right? "Salutations, Scribbs!"

Why yes, Dima DID have a nickname for a nickname. Epitome of cool right here.

Salutes were a thing now, then? Okay. Maddie would've reciprocated but she was very rudely SHOVED into the broom closet. Luckily she had EXCELLENT balance and she didn't even STUMBLE before she found a seat on one of the cushioned buckets.

"Salutations, Toast!" She grinned, setting the box-o-bow ties down on the floor and then pulling out her notebook for reasons. Note reasons. Reasons having to do with salutes and salutations.

Scribble. Scribble. Scribble.

"Love what you've done with the place, Specs. S'comfy now." Still smelled a bit funky but it was private and THAT was the most important thing.

"Can we eat first or do we have to go over official business?"

Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.

As Emmylou walked around the corridors of the most beautiful castle every time she ate her candy in peace. The candy choice of today were a large box of rainbow Nerds, these kinds of Nerds were the best that there ever was. Her favorite muggle candy will always be Nerds right now and as for wizarding candy she really liked chocolate frogs (but it wasn't her favorite) and licorice wands but this fourth year still loves all candy. Emmylou was very happy to be showing her pastel purple hair today. She didn't tell anyone in her family that she was going to dye her hair purple but she didn't care because the dye would be out by Christmas time but this color was an adjustment. She had never dyed her hair before, her hair was always natural blonde. Today her long hair was in loose waves that reached down to her lower back.

Emmylou found herself out near the Great Hall. When she day dreams and eats candy she never knows where she will end up. As she popped some candy in her mouth she noticed something that she had never seen here before. A broom closet. Why would they put a broom closet here in the main part of the school? Why hadn't she noticed it last year? Maybe she didn't want to see a broom closet last year because the castle was huge and she was trying to take it all in at once. Emmylou was glade that this was her second year at Hogwarts because she would to explore the castle and the grounds even more than before.

Abby had always been confused as to why there was a broom closet in the castle and she saw a girl standing outside and said "I have always wondered why they had a broom closet inside the castle"

Nom. Nom. Noms.

Candy is a way of life and there was no way to think differently about that at all. The now light purple haired girl turned her head to the side slightly and looked at the broom closest. She was still so puzzled as to why someone would put a broom closest there and thens he heard a voice that creeped up next to her but at least this girl didn't make her jump like her new friend Nola did when she met her last weekish.

Emmylou looked at the girl and smiled. "I just don't understand why they put it near the Great Hall." She said with her Southern accent that set her apart from pretty much everyone here.

Abby thought and said "Maybe its needed for the house elves to clean the great hall while students and staff are not using it"

How rude of her to not ask the girl if she wanted some candy. She was very rude about that sometimes. "Would you like some candy? It's muggle candy. It's the best ever." Emmylou beamed. The fourth year listened to the girl and smiled some more as she ate her Nerds. "Wouldn't it be easier for them to put it in the kitchens?" It was just a thought though. It seemed like it would be easier so the little Elves didn't have to walk all the way out here. "I'm Emmylou Duchannes." she held out her hand for the girl to shake it.

Abby smiled at Emmylou and said "Nice to meet you Emmylou, I am Abby Valentine and sure i would love some candy" Abby shook Emmylou's hand

Emmylou beamed when the girl wanted to try some candy, she poured some of the little candies in the girls hand. "Nice to meet you too, Abby." She wondered if this girl had ever tried Nerds before? "Have you ever had Nerds before?" Emmylou asked sweetly. She wanted to know, she was always curious when it came to people wanting candy. Candy is amazing, candy is life.

Abby thought and took some out of her hand and chewed them and said "To be honest Emmylou i have not but they are tasty"

Salutations? A loud fit of giggles escaped his lips at the underused word. It sounded official and all, and Dima got TWO THUMBS up for it. Or would have. If Kyroh wasn't busy making sure that NO one was in the hall watching them. Once he was certain that the coast was clear he closed the door and plopped down on his bucket, failing to notice the box of bow ties.

"THANKS! I borrowed the cushions from the the Library-'kept I didn't really ask, but Mr.Kitridge is our PEOPLE so don't think he'd mind." Ravenclaws. Yup. They stuck together. He bounced a bit. "I reckon food is official business." It was, wasn't it? I mean, they HAD to have it, and it was a JOB to get it so-offical.

After the little poop ordeal at the lion table, AJ thought that maybe she would clean out their jar at a place that wouldn't be so gross. Not that she thought it was gross, but her sister apparently did. The lion was walking around the school with her jar of fairies. She was such a good babysitter. She made it all the way down to the ground floor when she realized that it had been awhile since she had cleaned the fairies living space.

There was no way that AJ was going to walk allllll the way back to her common room considering she was on the ground floor. She looked around and decided to slip into a door off to the side. Once in the room, she noticed that it was a broom closet. Well, there wouldn't be any grossing people out here unless the brooms has an issue with poop.

Okay, Tinker and Bell, let's clean us up some poop. There wasn't anybody there to pass her fairies to, so she just let them out of the jar for a minute. They couldn't get to far. This time the lion decided to magically clean the jar. "Scourgify." And look, she managed to get the spell done right the first time. How very lucky of her. "Time to go back in your jar." It was all nice and clean for them. They were welcome.

Angel had no idea what she was going to do with her fairies this was getting boring... she decided that she would do something to clean the fairies out again... boy fairies were so messy and she was starting to think that they weren't as girly as she thought because they normally weren't messy.

Angel walked into the broom closet and saw AJ. "Hey AJ how much longer do we have to look after these?" Angel wanted to go back to plants they were a lot nicer than stuff.

Angel took her fairies out of the jar and put them down, she knew that her fairies wouldn't go far because they were great. "Scourgify!" Angel used her wand and clean the jar, she loved that spell and wanted to use it more often.

Angel got hold of the fairies and smiled. "Your home is clean now." Angel smiled as she put them in the jar and fastened it. "Can I give these back soon?" Angel asked her sister.

Well would you looky there, her sister found her. Not that she was hiding from her or anything. It was weird how their brains worked sometimes. "Hey, Angel." Was it just her or was her sister sounding like she was getting tired of her fairies. "Just a few more days I think. Not getting tired of them already, are you?" While fairies weren't her first choice when it came to magical creatures, she loved them all.

You know what? It had been ages since she had let these fairies out to stretch their little fairy legs. They had to be dying in their confined space. "Why don't we let our fairies play together?" It sounded like a good idea to her. AJ opened up her jar. "Come out and play Tinker, and Bell."

The fairies didn't waste any time at all. They were out fluttering about. Good thing they were in a broom closet too. That meant they wouldn't be able to get that far. AJ was not in the mood to chase down two rogue fairies. Now she could kick back and relax a bit. "I wonder how Tails is going to get along with Tinker." They sure would make a cute fairy couple.

Angel looked at AJ and sighed. "I don't know, I really like them but sometimes I wish I could do something else." Angel looked around the broom closet. "You know with plants." Angel just totally loved plants and she was going to go and explore with Professor Bentley one day, they had arranged that last term and she wanted to do it so badly.

Angel smiled. "Hey that would be a great idea, I don't think Fairy and Tails gets on that well they always seem to be grumpy." Angel giggled, she wondered how Tails and Tinker would get out. Angel opened her jar and looked at her fairies. "Out you come and meet some friends." Angel wondered if they would remember each other because they had all been together before the lesson right.

"I think they will get on great." Angel hoped so anyway because she thought that Tails and Tinker would make a great couple some day. "We'll just have to wait and see." Angel looked at her sister. "So do we just watch them?" Angel asked.

AH, plants. Of course. Her sister loved plants, and to AJ they were kind of boring. Coming to Hogwarts had proved that there were some pretty cool plants out there, but her passion still involved animals. "I get it, but you won't have to worry about the fairies for much longer." If AJ could, she would take Angel's fairies from her, but then Angel would fail her assignment.

Tinker could be a little grumpy too. "Let's see how they do." AJ looked on as Angel released her fairies. The fairies seemed to be a little cautious of each other at first, and then out of nowhere you could hear giggling, and they were off zooming around like they were old friends. For all she knew they could have been old friends. Tinker and Tails were hitting it off. They seemed to be keeping to themselves. "Look at Tinker and Tails... I bet they aren't going to like being separated when play time is over."

This was kind of boring, just sitting here watching the fairies fly back and forth. "I guess so. They seem to be having fun anyways. AJ was kind of tired and for once in her life was enjoying the down time. "Have a seat," she pat the floor next to her. "Relax a little while our fairies have fun."

Angel looked at AJ, "It's just I thought that fairies would be girly, you know like in the film we watched when we was very young but they don't seem to be like that at all." Angel didn't think so anyway. "Those fairies would never make a mess like these have, if there not eating there pooping." Angel sighed.

Angel couldn't believe it. "OH I think Tails and Tinker love each other." Angel suddenly thought about something. "They came from the same lesson right, you don't think they are lovers do you." Angel would feel really bad if they were and she had split them up.

Angel sat down next to her sister. "This is fun, Tails and Tinker totally has that connection, I can tell. It's just like how you look at Adi." Angel nudged her sister as she giggled. "Love is in the air." Angel smirked at her sister.

AJ bit back a snort just in time. "This isn't fairytale land." This was a magical school though, so she couldn't really argue that point. "They are still creatures, and creatures have to poop, pee, and eat." It was the way of life. Funny how the books and movies always seemed to leave that little part out. "At least you can use magic to clean up the mess." AJ shrugged. No biggy. There were worse things in life.

It was true. They were in L-O-V-E. "We're like the fairy match makers." AJ would have to tell the professor all about that. Maybe they could get some extra points out of it. "If they weren't lovers before, they are definitely lovers now." Look at them. Tooooo cute.

She smiled at the mention of Adi. AJ wouldn't have compared them to fairies, but her sister did have a point. "Adi's great." But she wasn't the only sister in a relationship. "The same could be said about how you look at Benny." Mmmhmm. "You are the one all in love."

AJ kicked her feet out and made herself comfortable. The fairies were having them a good ol' time. They were stuck in a small broom closet, but it was much bigger than their little fairy jar. AJ's eyes followed them back and forth. Back and forth. Her eyes were starting to get heavy. Angel could keep an eye on both sets of fairies, right?

Angel looked at her sister and giggled. "I wish we were in fairytale land." Angel really did, though in some ways they were because this was a magical place and that was were fairies lived. "And I know they do but they seem to do it all the time." Angel sighed as she looked at the now clean jar... couldn't this assignment be over soon. "Yeah that is true."

"Yeah I'm not sure how we are going to be able to separate them." Angel giggled. "It's going to be hard work that for sure." Angel had a funny feeling they were glued to each others side now. "They are soooooo in love." Angel playfully rolled her eyes.

Angel decided to ignore her sister about Benny and she was about to continue to tease her sister when she saw her sister starting to fall asleep.

"Hey no sleeping on the job." Angel nudged her sister as she kept an eye on the fairies, "Come on sleepy head, you don't want to sleep on this cold floor." Angel continued to nudge her sister.

Fairytale land? No, thanks. AJ was perfectly okay with living on planet earth. There was an awful lot of fairy poop to go around. "Tinker poops the most. I wonder how Tails feels about that." His lover was a poop machine, but maybe Tails didn't care.

So, they had to turn their fairies in soon, and what would changing up the fairies really hurt? It wasn't like AJ would be able to keep them in a jar forever. "I have an idea. How about I keep Tinker and Tails in my jar and you keep Fairy and Bell in your jar. That way they can stay together and live happily ever after." Goodness, did that just come out of her mouth? Was she really going soft?

She was almost completely out when she felt the nudge of her sister. "Awww... c'mon, just five minutes." Angel could manage alone for that long. But the nudging didn't stop. "Fiiiine." Awake, she was awake. The fairies were still zooming all around over above their heads. "I wish I had wings." It would be awesome to be able to fly.

"Angel. What time is it? I think we are supposed to have the fairies back by now." Great, how was she going to catch them? She really didn't want to have to hit them with a spell. It seemed kind of mean. In the end AJ decided to catch the muggle way, like how she did during the lesson.

Open jar and a lid ready to clamp down. One by one she caught Tinker and then Tails. "Hurry. I think we are late." AJ waited patiently for Angel to get her fairies in her jar.
