If you don’t like heights and speed and adrenaline, this ride is not for you. The aptly named “Hogwarts Plunge” is a waterslide of gargantuan dimensions. Higher than imaginable, alternating flashing colors of the four houses, and with rushing fresh water to take you down the slide, complete with exhilarating turns and drops, this waterslide has everything. At the bottom, after you’ve screamed your head off, you are deposited into a calm pool, which, if you continue along it, filters into a wading pool. Are you somewhat lacking in the ability to swim? Don’t worry! Although our prefects are not lifeguards, they have placed safety charms on the water so no harm will come of you!
Enjoy the slide, and watch out for any water that may (and will) be sprayed on you!

Hady did well to keep him up, not that she had a choice, considering she was very much attached to his hand. He only dropped her hand as they ascended toward the top, the view was... AMAZING, and he had to remind himself to breathe. The sound of the rushing water, and the changing colours of the slide only served to heighten his senses, and so he was thrilled they finally made it to the top.
Standing beside Hady, he glanced over the edge. They were VERY high up. VERY high up. "We can do both," he replied instinctively, "go solo and we'll do it again together?" he asked. He wanted to experience the drop for himself, by himself, selfishly wanting to keep the moment to himself.
Inching closer to the edge area she looked downwards. WOW. Looking out at a view if very different then looking down at it. Thankfully it didn't bother her enough to make her change her mind about taking the plunge down. The third, almost fourth year was super ready.
Both. That sounded like a good idea. Experience for themselves and then together as a team. Hady turned to look at him and smiled. "Sounds like a plan." She readily agreed to it without any thought or comment as to why he suggested this idea at all. Frankly she didn't care. Two times on this ride was enough reason for her to agree. "Brave Lions can go first." Hady laughed gently pushing him a little bit ahead of her so he could go when it was their turn. She'd be right behind him and meet him at the bottom.
It was a plan. An epic plan. A wondrously amazing plan. Nobody could think up one better.
"Yes, ma'am," he grinned with a mock salute as he was pushed forward. Though because he was already close enough to the edge to topple over, the light push was enough to literally send him on his way. His feet slipped out from under him and before he knew it his bum hit the slide and DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWNNNNN he went.
The adrenaline rush was everything he had hoped it would be, and between the fast moving water, the bumps and turns of the slide, the VERY steep decline and the changing colours... he was in his own version of heaven. He was ecstatic.
Splash!landing in the pool below, he waded out of the way so that he wouldn't cop a mouthful of water when Hady followed him down.
Just. Awesome.
Seeing Zander doing his whole perfectly supervision, Zeke flashed him a grin. "Best ride ever, it even beats the Gryffindor bungie." Yeah, THAT's how great it was. Good work Prefect. Good work.

Ma'am. Really Zeke? Ma'am.
Playfully rolling her eyes at him and trying not to laugh Hady just flashed him a quick grin. There was no time too say anything more for the tiny push forward she had given him sent him right over the edge and down the slide!
Whoops! Sorry Zeke!
That the third year hadn't meant to do. Really she hadn't. However luckily for her he didn't seem to care and he didn't get hurt. He appeared to be having an awesome time. Peering down after her friend she waited until he was well near the bottom so there'd be no chance at all of her crashing into him.
Fidgeting about a little bit she counted down from three quietly in her head.
Three.
Two.
One!
And down she went right onto her bottom quickly laying down and resting her arms over her chest. Her father had told her that doing this as well as crossing your ankles always helped you go faster. SO that's what she did as she ZOOMED down the slide with easy. This flashing colors and noise from all around becoming nothing but a large blur.
AWESOME!!!!!
That's all she could come up with as she hit the water of the pool below. Coming up just a second later Hady pushed her wet hair from her face with a look of laughter as she made her way from the pool and back towards Zeke. "Again?!" she exclaimed grinning at her buddy, turning to wave at Zander when she saw him keeping an eye out for everyone.

Wading around, Zeke watched as a form that he knew to be Hady zoomed down the slide, her decent seemed quicker than his had felt, but he knew the rush would be the same. Ducking his head under water, he swam over to where she was, resurfacing to hear her say 'again'.
"As if you have to ask," he mused, moving to exit so they could climb back up again. He held his hand out to her intended as 'helping' hand, but with all the independent girl vibes he'd experienced since at Hogwarts it was just a gesture.

Hady grinned at him knowing before she even had said anything that they would be going down again. Still pushing her wet hair off her face she followed close behind him through the water easily enough.
At his hand being held out to help her she took it without thought or question. With Zeke it had just become second nature for her really. They'd be doing this since what...the end of first year? Pulling herself from the pool with his help she wiped some water from her face with her free hand, her other still holding onto his loosely in case he did want to let go.
"Is there is words to describe just how seriously cool that was?," she asked laughing quietly whole moving to get back into line so they could do this again together this time.

Zhenya decided to take the PLUNGE first. LOL. Not like the toilet plunger though. Although maybe it would feel like that. Perhaps she should have brought some ear plugs. Teddy would have insisted.
She made her way up towards the top. Not that she loved heights, but she wasn't as scared of them as, say, ACROMANTULAS! But enough of those giant ugly spiders, today was FUN! And they were scared of the Basilisks, so they disappeared.
Up the top, Zhenya joined the line and couldn't help but grin. She had the nervous excited butterflies in her tummy. Not just about going down the slide/plunge, but about everything. She was going to be leaving in a few days. Yes, the Hogwarts Express would be here for the last time. But she had so much to look forward to, despite everything she was leaving behind. She even watched as some of the Professors were having fun, about to go down the plunge too. It was a calming, content sort of excitement.

It didn't take them long to exit the pool and line back up, and he remained holding Hady's hand, squeezing it intermittently out of excitement and longing to do that again.
Were there words to describe it?
"No..." no there were not. "Not properly at least." Did she know what he meant? It was like saying a rainbow was coloured light. It was MORE than just coloured light... it was... yeah. HE KNEW WHAT HE MEANT. "Wish we got to do this kinda stuff more often."

Still trying to completely process the feeling that was coming down that epic water slide of flashing colors Hady kept a gentle yet firm grasp on his hand. Every time she felt his fingers tighten about hers in a light squeeze she couldn't help but do the same exact thing back.
So he couldn't describe with either. At least she wasn't alone on that. Laughing softly she glanced over at him as they made their way through the line once more and back towards the top. "Now that would be awesome. A break from all the lessons, tests and just general stress." They should totally have something like this more often. Or could this just remain here for like after lessons and weekends?

Best to talk to Zander if he didn't have any swimsuit, then.

Y'know, good for the moral.
But where in Merlin's name was Sophie Brown? He only signed up for this task so that he could stare at her all day long. The one time he would get the perfect opportunity to shameless watch her while she was working hard and in a swim suit and she wasn't even there for him to enjoy the view. Shame. He had to watch all the other students fuss about in line instead.
Except there was something very peculiar happening up there... And Zander had to tip his sunglasses down to make sure he wasn't just seeing things. Why was Yoongi looking around like that? Was the guy scared of the slide? Awh, c'mon even the first years where bouncing around out of THRILL. He shook his head, before cupping his hands around his mouth to make a make-shift-hand-megaphone. "Oi, Yoongi! Come on down. The water's GREEEAAAAAAAT!"
He'd already rehearsed this whole volume thing earlier, by the way. Needed to make sure Sophie could hear him while she was up there. Which she wasn't. He wasn't bitter or anything. Just he'd rather look at his smokin' hot girlfriend than at a hairy Librarian, no offense Kittridge.
Sophie Brown wasn't here yet. Swim trunks were unfortunately not enough to cover hairy Librarian legs. And NOW his Potions Professor was coming over to talk to him. Could the day get any worse for Zander Adair? "Oh, hello sir," the Gryffindor pushed his glasses up to rest on his head whilst giving the Potions Master a smile in greeting. "Aren't you gonna get in?" Did he have to repeat himself again because the water really is great. He wasn't making that up. Especially in this heat. Did wonders to help cool off. Even a guy like Culloden had to appreciate that. "Even Mr. Kittridge is going to go down." Granted, it was kind of a weird sight for everyone... But... You know.
Now if he was Sophie Brown there would be some splashing involved in this scenario here. But luckily for Professor C, Zander was just Zander. So you're welcome, sir.

Look at Cossy, being all out of place in his attire. "Yeah Culloden, why not?" Giving him a friendly grin. Summer was here at last, even this posh Professor was making certain exceptions. But it was his colleague's choice, whatever he decided to do. Javier would go down eventually, once he spotted his son. Wherever he was. He was probably with Miss Sophie Brown noticing their absence.

Watching all the students have fun she couldn't help but smile and wave. "Hello Professor Culloden, Professor Thomas, having fun?" Though Cossy seemed to not want to get into the water, which to each their own.
Turning she climbed up the ladder to the top she eyed the bottom and grinned, this looked fun. "Oh, well maybe we should go down separate." They were at school and the professional thing and all. She assumed after all the spider stuff their relationship wasn't much of a secret to the students anymore, but she still could be professional. "Shall I go first or would you like to?"

But there was an AWFUL lot of lips flapping about and not enough sliding - majority of attention centered around one bloke in particular: the Candy Cauldron.
Stealthy making his way over, Airey sneaked up behind Cosgrach. "Come on now, don't be such a black hole," he teased, giving the Potions professor juuuuuuuuuuuuust the nudge he needed to take the plunge.
Literally.
The Astronomy professor may be gangly, but he was impressively strong when he had the upper hand in sneak attacks.

Catching Cossy's wave Leo had to blink twice as he noted his friends attire. Keeping a straight face he still had to ask. "Professor Culloden, why aren't you wearing swimwear up here?" They were standing on top of a slide after all. Hearing Zander Adair's comment Leo shot the prefect a long glance saying "I heard that Mr Adair. But you are right I'm going to plunge just like everyone else up here. The slide looks fun." He had climbed up here and had swimwear on it'd be a waste not to try at least one plunge down the slide. Spotting Javy coming up behind him and Cassie he waved to his friend and called out. "Nice to see you Prof Thompson, are you plunging in too?" Or was he just here to enjoy the view? They were pretty high up and had a good view over the whole grounds.
Turning to Cassie by his side he said "You can go down first and we'll---" what he was about to say next was lost as Cossy got pushed out into the slide by Airey. Shooting a glance at the astronomer he said "Was that really necessary Professor Flamsteed? Professor Culloden wasn't even wearing the correct attire." Hopefully Cossy knew how to swim with clothes on. Spotting one of the graduating seniors at the back of the line Leo waved to her. "Hey Zhenya! Do you like slides and swimming?"

Students sounded like they were dying. Laughter followed soon after and the Prefect couldn't help peek over.
Her curiosity had been tickled.
So here she was. Atop the Hogwarts Plunge. She wasn't planning on going down it. She just wanted to see how high it was and...
O_______________________O
SHE WAS GOING TO DIE.
It was SO HIGH. Why did they make it SO HIGH? Heart racing, she grabbed on to something - some little first year who frowned up at her. "Oh shut it, I was slipping. Are you even tall enough to be on here?" Ahem. Don't look at her.
Just as she was about to turn to leave, Beverly spotted a familiar head. Momentarily, dread was thrown out the window replaced by mischief. Silently coming up behind Grayson, the Slytherin poked his sides. "BOO!"
....Mwahaha!
LOLOLOL this was gonna be interesting. Grayson may have joined the queue and was ready to take the plunge -- quite literally -- but the jolt in his stomach kept coming back whenever he saw just how far up he was. Not that he was scared of heights, mind you. It was more of a case of wanting to preserve his own life. Kinda important, that--
HOLY FREAKING MERLIN WHAT IN THE NAME OF--
The Slytherin jumped about a foot in the air and turned around wildly when he felt something poke his sides out of no--
DEADPAN. Seriously, Bev? SERIOUSLY? "Jeez, Wayne, way to scare a dude," he said, shaking his head at her, "Did no one tell you that creeping up on people isn't nice?" He WAS smiling though. Uh huh!
It was HARD to want to do her job because there was so much FUN to be had and so many PEOPLE to see. Really, this whole thing was her biggest downfall as a prefect. She could handle responsibility most of the time, but today... she just wanted to PLAY.
"You'd better," Sophie grinned, fully intending to splash Zander, TOO, whenever she got the opportunity. She saw the Gryffindor in question at his assigned post at the bottom of the waterslide as they neared, too, and flashed her boyfriend a brilliant smile from afar. Was that... Culloden he was talking with, too?
Oh. Oh man. This was gonna be TOO GOOD.
"Yeah, he's with Culloden! We gotta BOTH go down the slide and then GET 'EM WHEN WE COME OUT. Can we?!" And-- Javy? Soph followed his gaze up to the top of the slide and, sure enough, there was the perfectly-sculpted hunk of man that was Tobes' dad. "We can get your dad in on it, too! The three of us can take 'em DOWN." She would've said LET'S GO, but Tobes was already bolting toward the staircase to the slide, so she ran, too, and giggled with elation because ADVENTURE. FRIENDS. FUN.
WHAT COULD'VE BEEN BETTER?!
"JAAAAVYYYY," oops, "DON'T SLIDE DOWN YET, WE'RE COMIN'!"

Don't slide yet? Why ever not? "Is there something I should know?" Or did they have something else in mind? Javier gave the signature raised brows at the two. Time to spill it. Or at least hint strongly.
Merlin, Sophie Brown had some lungs on her. Even as they ran up to the top of the slide, Toby wondered if the ringing in the ear on his Sophie-side would ever stop. But anyway, that was a problem for another day. As were most problems.
UP the stairs they went, not slowing down a bit, with Toby's pink flip flops making a stealth mission impossible. Not that that had been a possibility in the first place, thank you Sophie.
Toby grinned at Javy as they reached him. He was going on about slides to Soph for whatever reason. Like YES, they were on a SLIDE. Wasn't it awesome?
"Hi Da-...! ... P-... Ja-..." >____> "Professor. Prof TEEEEEE. Sup." Toby smiled sweetly up at the large teddy bear of a man. Boy, he'd be glad when he didn't have to catch himself when addressing Javy in the future. But anyway. HI. "Are you planning on going down?" Was that a stupid question? Probably, but you never know. He could be up here to look at the view and be all brooding and mysterious and cool.

Sophie arrived at the top of the slide just around the same time as Soph and-- oh, Javy was giving her that LOOK? What had she...?
Oh. The name. Hehehehehehee.
"Sorry, professor. I associate your human name with fun and this is fun so it was instinct." Her bad, but she wasn't REALLY sorry. JAVY JAVY JAVY JAVY JAVY. Wasn't like he'd give her a detention for it or something anyway. THERE WAS NO TIME FOR THAT.
Tobes getting caught up with what to call him made her giggle, too, and she set the bag on her back off to the side at the top of the slide. It would be her post for the day, as she was supposed to make sure people followed some semblance of rules when they went down and slid safely, but she WAS going to go down the slide so... she was just gonna leave her stuff up here.
And then Tobes asked Javy if he was going down, which was a good thing first and foremost, and Soph went onto explain their PLAN OF ACTION to convince him that they SHOULD go down, "Zander 'n Professor Culloden are down there," she pointed eagerly, peeking over the top of the slide's barriers to see... Flamsteed was down there, TOO, "AND FLAMSTEED! We should GET 'EM. Like splash 'em or dunk 'em or push 'em over into the water. ATTACK OF THE SLIDE-RIDERS." WOULD HE BE GAME?!
And look at that Professor C was here also. Plus the Librarian. Were they going to take the plunge. Pun intended. Dante hoped so. He would enjoy watching it. Maybe enjoy a laugh then go down himself.
"Hey Professor C, you going to take the plunge?"
Cosgrach turned to the new voice in his completely daily attire - black robes and shoes. He shrugged.
"I don't think so," he said at Dante. It didn't look professional enough, did it? He wouldn't...

Cosgrach JUMPED when Zander yelled like that.
"OI!" he exclaimed, "keep it down, will ya?" An old professor was here, did he know? He didn't smile back, but he didn't look grumpy either. "I don't think I will," he said. He didn't want everyone to see his legs unlike Leo there.
Hi, Javy. He waved at the man and smiled. "I don't feel like going in." He was cool with his robes here, although it did feel hot now... hmm...

Black hole? No, he wasn't a black hole. Sure, his robe was black -
-__________-
SHLASSLJEP HIS ROBE AND SHOES ALL WAS RUINED UGH NO NO NO -
This meant war.
After getting his head out in the water and wiping his eyes, without much warning or waiting, he pushed as big chunk of water as he could at Airey, not caring who was hit as well.
TAKE THAT, ASTRONUT.
The reprimand of Leo? It was all lost on him as he had been underwater during that.

"OI!" he exclaimed, "keep it down, will ya?" An old professor was here, did he know? He didn't smile back, but he didn't look grumpy either. "I don't think I will," he said. He didn't want everyone to see his legs unlike Leo there.
Hi, Javy. He waved at the man and smiled. "I don't feel like going in." He was cool with his robes here, although it did feel hot now... hmm...
Black hole? No, he wasn't a black hole. Sure, his robe was black -

SHLASSLJEP HIS ROBE AND SHOES ALL WAS RUINED UGH NO NO NO -
This meant war.
After getting his head out in the water and wiping his eyes, without much warning or waiting, he pushed as big chunk of water as he could at Airey, not caring who was hit as well.
TAKE THAT, ASTRONUT.
The reprimand of Leo? It was all lost on him as he had been underwater during that.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!
VICTORY!
Not even fazed by the water Cosgrach hurtled in his direction, Airey threw the Potions professor a flamboyant salute and big toothy grin.
SPOILER!!: Leobald!

Catching Cossy's wave Leo had to blink twice as he noted his friends attire. Keeping a straight face he still had to ask. "Professor Culloden, why aren't you wearing swimwear up here?" They were standing on top of a slide after all. Hearing Zander Adair's comment Leo shot the prefect a long glance saying "I heard that Mr Adair. But you are right I'm going to plunge just like everyone else up here. The slide looks fun." He had climbed up here and had swimwear on it'd be a waste not to try at least one plunge down the slide. Spotting Javy coming up behind him and Cassie he waved to his friend and called out. "Nice to see you Prof Thompson, are you plunging in too?" Or was he just here to enjoy the view? They were pretty high up and had a good view over the whole grounds.
Turning to Cassie by his side he said "You can go down first and we'll---" what he was about to say next was lost as Cossy got pushed out into the slide by Airey. Shooting a glance at the astronomer he said "Was that really necessary Professor Flamsteed? Professor Culloden wasn't even wearing the correct attire." Hopefully Cossy knew how to swim with clothes on. Spotting one of the graduating seniors at the back of the line Leo waved to her. "Hey Zhenya! Do you like slides and swimming?"
Still grinning like an idiot - a slightly wet one thanks being in the Candy Cauldron's splash zone - he turned towards Leobald and shrugged. Speaking of black holes...
"Necessary? Certainly not," he assured the librarian. "But it is highly illogical behavior to come all the way over here to a water slide and not expect to get wet." Even if he did feel a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny bit sorry for that stellar suit his colleague was wearing. Airey probably would have had a meltdown in the pool over his suit getting wet, so he was putting his galleons on the Potions Master not really being all that upset about things.
Especially since he was encouraging some water fighting. Which the astronut should get back to.
A thought that was just in time as he overheard the voice of a Miss Brown saying something about himself.
"ONE STEP AHEAD OF YOU!" he shouted up at the Ravenclaw as he leaped into action and created a good splash of his own in the wading pool right beside Cosgrach.
CANNONBAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!
Which really was not the best of ideas considering how shallow a wading pool was.
Brilliant. Now his bum was sore.

Were there words to describe it?
"No..." no there were not. "Not properly at least." Did she know what he meant? It was like saying a rainbow was coloured light. It was MORE than just coloured light... it was... yeah. HE KNEW WHAT HE MEANT. "Wish we got to do this kinda stuff more often."
Still trying to completely process the feeling that was coming down that epic water slide of flashing colors Hady kept a gentle yet firm grasp on his hand. Every time she felt his fingers tighten about hers in a light squeeze she couldn't help but do the same exact thing back.
So he couldn't describe with either. At least she wasn't alone on that. Laughing softly she glanced over at him as they made their way through the line once more and back towards the top. "Now that would be awesome. A break from all the lessons, tests and just general stress." They should totally have something like this more often. Or could this just remain here for like after lessons and weekends?
They were moving, up... UP and UP! It was a beautiful thing when lines moved, and he took this to mean nobody was freaking out and refusing to go down... time wasters would not be appreciated.
His idea WAS pretty grand, and it would make him more motivated to go to classes knowing a break like this was on the cards. It also had other benefits too. "And we'd make it to class quicker if we had a slide from the Astronomy tower to the grounds." It would save them... especially him... a lot of time getting from the seventh floor towers down through the castle and out to the grounds. He would NEVER have to leave early to Herbology or CoMC ever again.

As the line steadily moved Hady couldn't help but keep looking over the side and out over the grounds. The view was gorgeous and honestly she couldn't quite get enough of it.
Once more giving his hand a light squeeze she looked over at him. "Now that would be awesome. And with a simple drying charm we wouldn't be tracking water into the classrooms so the Professor's would have no reason to be upset." This was sounding better and better the more they spoke about it. "How many of us though do you think would go all the way to the seventh floor just to come down this thing even if we had no reason to be up there?," she questioned laughing quietly. She probably would be one of them that's for sure.
As they reached the very top and were next she glanced at him. "Ready?" Hady grinned at him and then looked down at the pool below. Could they go now?

There was so much going on, goodness how fun was this. She smiled and giggled with all the commotion. She watched excitedly as students came and went on the slide, her nerves and excitement growing. "It is so much fun to just hangout and enjoy the day." With friends no less, it was just wonderful.
GAAAAAASSSSSSSP
Her hands went to her mouth, "Airey" but soon she was laughing as it seemed Cossy wasn't upset over it. "Professor Culloden maybe your robes need transfigured into a suit." He'd feel less heavy that way she assumed. "Oh Leo this looks so much fun! I'll see you at the bottom."
Using his arm to help her up the final spot of the slide the five foot blonde got settled into the spot and pushed herself down.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Screaming with joy the entire way until she plunged into the water below. As she came back up she laughed more at how much fun it was. Trying and failing at snapping with wet hands she turned to watch Leo come down next.

He looked behind him, there was a line behind him already. Even the Professors had decided to show up. If old people (sorry) like them could do this he could too! He looked back around and down, his stomach turned and he nearly cried. Heart of a lion this one eh? The same words he had told Marsha about the fainted shopkeeper which had earned him a chuckle from that Ministry guy.
How was it, that he could enter the forbidden forest and not get down this slide?! Maybe it was because actual lives had been in danger , yeah he thought so. Apparently, he was only brave when lives were at stake…
A voice shouted his name from down the slide and Yoongi shrieked. Who dared?! It was Zander. He glared at the Prefect which was pretty difficult to see from this far up. “I’M NOT SCARED!“ He shouted back, defensively even if the Prefect had not even mentioned anything about him being scared.
He was not scared! He pushed himself down the slide with a determined face. He would show Zander that he was not sca—Realising what he had done, Yoongi went down the waterslide SCREAMING the whole way down. The loops, the turns , everything made him scream. And then he landed with an awkward SPLASH in the swimming pool below.
He coughed, and spluttered out water from his mouth. And then he saw Zander. “SEE! I told you I wasn’t SCARED! HA!” With a flip of his head, Yoongi splash the water out of his hair and at the Prefects face and then turned to look at the others above the slide.
Please someone scream like him …preferably one of the Professors T____T
Zander was genuinely amused. He was still pretty grumpy that Sophie Brown was no where to be seen yet. Because he chose this job with a PLAN. But watching Yoongi decide whether he was going to take the plunge was surprisingly a good alternative. Of course it wasn't as great as looking at Sophie Brown was gonna be... But you can't always get what you want. So anyways. Back to Yoongi. This was happening. Or was it? The whole dancing around the slide thing was getting confusing. Was he really gonna do it or not?
.... For the record, Zander never said anything about being scared. But now that it was out there, yes Zander DID think Yoongi was scared. "Then for Merlin's sake, Yoongi. Just do it!" Where was all this confidence coming from? Probably still getting over his initial rush from going on the slide himself tbh. And oh. Oh man. Yoongi was going to do it. He was really about to go?? FINALLY!!!
Zander let out a big whoop to cheer the guy on before--Wait? Was he screaming? The blonde accidentally let out a loud laugh, but otherwise tried his best to stay calm, as to not anger the other Gryffindor. But seriously, so much screaming. Even Zander managed to go down without sounding like a lunatic. "Proud of you, man." He nodded at Yoongi just as the guy made it to the very bottom. "But maybe next time you can try it without the screaming, yeah?" Oops. Zander was just really amused, okay?
Also, yo. What's with the splashing. He quickly wiped the water from his eyes and face. Careful where you flip your hair!! If only Zander still had enough hair to do that. Sigh.
SPOILER!!: lol sorry kittridge we really do love you

Merlin, Zander really needed to work on his whispering. Ahem. His face flushed a bright pink, but he was smiling all the while because that's what your supposed to do. "It is Sir! Loads!" Please do not use all of Yoongi's screaming as an indication of fun because it actually was the best thing at this entire event. Yoongi was just being... Yoongi. Also, sorry for thinking your legs are hair, Mr K. But... Y'know. The truth will set you free and all.

"Oh, um, sorry Professor," Zander gave him a shy 'oops my bad' kind of look. The guy was old. Zander had forgotten that bit for a second there. "I guess we really should've thought up a better system." Though he thought the yelling back and forth thing was actually kind of fun.
As for Professor C's answer, Zander was hardly satisfied. But before he could ask 'why the heck not' his CoMC Professor beat him to it. Yeah, WHY NOT? Hm? Zander didn't see a good enough reason. It was hot. And fun. And they worked really hard on it. That'd be like Zander going to Potion's class and just not doing the classwork because 'he didn't feel like it'. Except as a student he was sort of required to and... Anyways. Bad analogy. But also, did Zander really want to see another hairy Professor? Probably not.
SPOILER!!: Flammy and Airey

But there was an AWFUL lot of lips flapping about and not enough sliding - majority of attention centered around one bloke in particular: the Candy Cauldron.
Stealthy making his way over, Airey sneaked up behind Cosgrach. "Come on now, don't be such a black hole," he teased, giving the Potions professor juuuuuuuuuuuuust the nudge he needed to take the plunge.
Literally.
The Astronomy professor may be gangly, but he was impressively strong when he had the upper hand in sneak attacks.

Okay so maybe hairy Professors were the last thing Zander wanted to think about right now, but... He was still going to try and convince Professor C to go in. Because unfortunately, Zander kinda wanted the Potions Master to have a little fun too. Sigh. "I know you don't feel like it, but the water is--" INCOMING !!!! O_____________O First of all, how did Zander not even notice Professor Flamsteed approaching from behind. Also yes he was going to laugh at the Potions Professor. It was funny. Was this even allowed?
Also and YES Professor Culloden was soaking wet and currently sitting in the water with his robes on. But Zander Adair was splashed AGAIN and this time it was a big one. Did no one care about that? Before he could even open his eyes again to do anything though.... CANNONBALL?? NO NO NO NO!!! WAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIITTT!!
THIS WAS SHALLOW WAT--.... too late.
And cannonballs meant waves and waves meant.... NOT AGAIN.
"HEY!" Merlin. These Professors were worse than the students. Also... Hopefully this doesn't follow him next term when it's time to grade his exams but.... Ahem. Flamsteed deserves the splashing sent his way okay? "Careful where you cannon ball, Professor Flamsteed," though he was grinning from cheek to cheek and spraying water at the man. He was now dripping water from his hair... And face... Which had managed to dry off earlier after he had taken the plunge himself but now. Sigh.
Also sorry, we'll stop splashing now. Just needed to get the guy back just a little bit. Ahem. Hi Professors.

"I certainly will be," Javier nodded at Leo and Cassie. No use staying put here like a sitting goose, hehe. So Cossy was staying put, well alright then... it was too bad he didn't look behind him. That poor suit. Ahem. Now that Cassie and Airey have gone..
Oh yeah, he knew what Tobias was close to calling him, as he smiled warmly, "It's alright." But hey, there's an idea. "Well, what're we waiting for? Let's go down now." Why not, Javier was strong enough to handle one or two. If they so chose to, "Ready?"
Zander, Airey, Culloden, Cassie and Leo. (Sorry if I missed anyone in that group)
Toto * RotiSila * ToRo * Braveheart * Grandma & Mama Tori
Marsha was excited. Unlike acromantulas, she LOVED water, flume slides, food, the sun and her FRIENDS. How awesome was this? Walking through the grounds, she stopped when she came to the flume… why wouldn’t she?
Professors Culloden and Flamsteed were in the water - Culloden still dressed. She laughed, happy to see that her fellow classmates were able to relax with something as fun as this before heading home for summer. She couldn’t believe she would have to wait over two months to use magic again. Stupid age limit.
As she moved closer to the edge of the pool she stopped, grinning at them all. ”Hi Zander! Hi Professors They all got a wave, Professor Morgan and Professor Kitridge too as they landed in the water having come down the slide. ”How is the slide Professor Morgan?” She asked with a grin.
Though, it weird to hug people when you were all in swimming costumes? She wondered silently, as she placed her hands back on her waist, over her blue swimming costume. Hm… Nawwwww. Not different in the slightest. Hehehe.
LOLOLOL this was gonna be interesting. Grayson may have joined the queue and was ready to take the plunge -- quite literally -- but the jolt in his stomach kept coming back whenever he saw just how far up he was. Not that he was scared of heights, mind you. It was more of a case of wanting to preserve his own life. Kinda important, that--
HOLY FREAKING MERLIN WHAT IN THE NAME OF--
The Slytherin jumped about a foot in the air and turned around wildly when he felt something poke his sides out of no--
DEADPAN. Seriously, Bev? SERIOUSLY? "Jeez, Wayne, way to scare a dude," he said, shaking his head at her, "Did no one tell you that creeping up on people isn't nice?" He WAS smiling though. Uh huh!
. . .
AHAHAHAHAHA!!
She couldn't help laugh at his reaction. It was better than what she had imagined. LOL. "Aww. Here I thought big tough Grayson Whitlock wouldn't get scared," she teased, nudging him lightly. "Don't worry, my intention was never to push you over." Just in case he was thinking that.
Although....that would have been amusing, but the height of the slide gave her the heebie-jeebies she wouldn't do that to anyone. Well. Anyone she likes. Besides, Ruby might kill her if something happened to her boy-toy.
Sophie arrived at the top of the slide just around the same time as Soph and-- oh, Javy was giving her that LOOK? What had she...?
Oh. The name. Hehehehehehee.
"Sorry, professor. I associate your human name with fun and this is fun so it was instinct." Her bad, but she wasn't REALLY sorry. JAVY JAVY JAVY JAVY JAVY. Wasn't like he'd give her a detention for it or something anyway. THERE WAS NO TIME FOR THAT.
Tobes getting caught up with what to call him made her giggle, too, and she set the bag on her back off to the side at the top of the slide. It would be her post for the day, as she was supposed to make sure people followed some semblance of rules when they went down and slid safely, but she WAS going to go down the slide so... she was just gonna leave her stuff up here.
And then Tobes asked Javy if he was going down, which was a good thing first and foremost, and Soph went onto explain their PLAN OF ACTION to convince him that they SHOULD go down, "Zander 'n Professor Culloden are down there," she pointed eagerly, peeking over the top of the slide's barriers to see... Flamsteed was down there, TOO, "AND FLAMSTEED! We should GET 'EM. Like splash 'em or dunk 'em or push 'em over into the water. ATTACK OF THE SLIDE-RIDERS." WOULD HE BE GAME?!

"Um, excuse you," Toby said to Soph, though still good-naturedly, giving her a gentle nudge. "Thompson is his human name too. I should know, 'cause it's also mine." RUDE, SOPHIE BROWN. Hehe.
Boy she sure seemed thirsty for some antagonising today, didn't she? Toby had been fine with the idea of casually splashing Zander on the way down, just for funsies, but the idea of a full-on water attack of those at the bottom of the slide made him a little uneasy. For reasons. Toby still was a little funny about teasing people or potentially angering them, and he didn't want to go there every again.
BUT... he didn't voice any of this, of course. Nope. None of it at all; he'd just go along with whatever, and use Javy as a human shield, as per usual. He was good for that.
SPEAKING OF WHICH. The big teddy bear professor was ALL SET to SLIDE. "Awesome!" Toby said with a grin, because he realised exactly what the man was saying. Without further ado he jumped onto Javy's back, clinging like a little spider monkey. "Ready!" And Soph? She was coming, yeah?

He watched as people zoomed down the slide right past them, as they continued their way up. Their happy screams making him itch to be up the top. It wasn't far to go now.
Perhaps though, Hady was missing his point. "It wouldn't be practical to, but after class in the towers or even the sixth floor, it'd be handy." Of course, it would better serve the Gryffindors and Ravenclaws, not that he could see them utilising it as much if it were to happen... which of course it wouldn't. Professor's weren't in it to make school fun, they were in it to 'teach' them things. Sigh.
But all thoughts of that were forgotten when it was their turn again. And was she really asking if he was ready? BORN ready. "Let's do it." He got down into position, one hand holding to the side of the slide, keeping him from going down too early as he waited for Hady to take her position with him.

Anything to do outside. How about you?" she asked, plastering the smile on her face. Why did she have to focus so much on the lasts. It might not be a forever goodbye, after all.

Somewhat possibly maybe kinda slightly fidgeting just a tad from foot to foot in excitement Hady attempted to wait patiently for their turn again. It was getting all that much more harder the closer they got to the front of the line for having already been down it once she knew what was in store.
"No. it wouldn't be 'practical' at all but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be loads of fun," she replied laughing. Cause really how wouldn't enjoy something like that even if it was only after lessons of weekends. It'd still make getting up early and sitting through lessons and doing all the homework and such not so bad. Just a little something to more to give them all some enjoyment and realize the stress and tension of everyday life.
Finally!
They had reached their turn and without any hesitation Zeke had sat down and was waiting for her. Noway would she be keeping him waiting! Hady grinned sitting herself down next to him and holding onto the side as well. "Ready." She announced once sat. Giving his hand one last squeeze in excitement unsure if the speed and water would cause her to let go before they hit the pool of water at the bottom. She then let go of the side she had been holding onto and began her quick decent down the slide a laugh of excitement coming from her lips.
Angel was totally ready for this... she really hoped that things were going to go well with what she was about to do, she looked at the slide it looked okay.
"This is Jellyfish one ready for launch." Angel waited her turn and then she suddenly decided that she was ready to take the plunge.
