She could? Yes? "Yes!" Because as weird as the idea of Kaycee picking out his clothes for him was, it was in his best interest. Looking good wasn't ever a priority... until now. "You're a legend," truly.

And now he had hope.

He WOULDN'T make a fool of himself on this date. Or at least, he wouldn't LOOK foolish, chances were he would still say or do something stupid though, there was just no helping that.

"What would I do without you?" Seriously, he would be lost.

Kaycee grinned. Aww. Zeke was excited! That was cute. She flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Oh stop it." she said with a smile. And by that she of course meant keep going. She liked being called legend.

And the compliments kept coming! "Be hopelessly lost probably." Which, she meant to say as a joke, but, might actually be true. "I'm really excited, by the way. Did I mention that?" It was kind of a big step.

"You'll have to fill me in after too. You know how Maggie is." She'd skip over all the details. Especially any that aren't so flattering.

Angel was still trying to look for things to change into something and she decided that one of the best places to find something small would be the great hall because well that had loads of stuff in it right, maybe a goblet or a fork or something small like that would be best to try after what had happened in the lesson.

Angel grabbed hold of a goblet now this looked good and maybe she could try and turn it into a match box, well that was what she was going to try and do anyway.

"Flint-ee-FORS!" Angel had her wand ready as she said the incantation and then she pointed her wand at the goblet and give it an upwards flick, she watched as the spell worked and the goblet changed, she then ended the spell and put the goblet back like it was, how awesome was this... she could do it all day.

Upon encountering a strange event of two students literally being attached to each other, Jordan took a seat at the Gryffindor Table, starving for breakfast. Every morning he goes through the same routine: Wakes up, lays around for thirty minutes, eats at The Great Hall. Maybe it wasn't an exciting routine, that's what he did. It was early so there weren't too many Gryffindor's up at the table, so he took a seat and hoped for more people to join him.

Henric was doing this for a dare AND he never backed down from any dares! EVER. Yes, people...he was wearing the bunny ears on top of his stupid bunny pyjamas costume. Atleast he still looked good today with his hair styled in a different way. Nice...last checked in the mirror...bunny ears...checked...Ray Bans sunglasses...checked...umm...he got this to look cool...obviously? ...And yeah Candies...checked! "Alright Henric, let's do this fast and quick...you can do this!" Time to give out the free candies to his fellow schoolmates!

He pointed to a first year Gryffindor nearby,"You short stuff, want some free candy?! Here you go, Happy Easter!" He practically threw a handful up in the air so it was raining candies all over! He did this for several times down the table and wished them all a jolly good Happy Easter Day!

Ava just chilled out at the Gryffindor table by herself, having a brunch on a nice day like this. No homework that she needed to catch up on, no need to study... Noooooope. Pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausages, milk, muffins, here she is!! Well, don't judge him. She's on growing phase so she needed to eat much.

Her eyes spotted someone in bunny costume wandering around.... OH, was that an Easter bunny? And he (or she, maybe) just gave them free candies! Awwww... It's very nice! "Thanks there, Mr. Bunny! Can I have more? I want to get some for my twin brother too." Especially chocolate frogs because Teddy really looooooved chocolate frogs.

Henric stopped short, he recognised her voice from anywhere. Well...it was none other than Miss Blue Chelsea Fan herself. He turned around slowly and walked up towards Ava."That is Mr.Handsome Gorgeous Bunny to you,kid." He grinned before raising an eyebrow at her. He popped out a bunch of carrots from the bottom of his goodie bag,"Too much sweet could kill you, here's a nice carrot. Share that with Miss Messy...I mean Miss.Messer, good for your eyesight too. And for your brother, ton-tongue toffees." Yo...Easter Bunnies need to survive too.Chocolate Frogs doesn't come cheap these days,ya know.

Mr. Handsome Gorgeous Bunny. Huh, that sounds so mouthful.

Did he just hand her carrots? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Ava hates carrots! And he mentioned Candice's name... Well, judging from that voice and how he mentioned the older Gryffindor as Messy, she knew who was behind the bunny costume.

Ton-tongue toffees for Teddy... Well, that would work. She hadn't prank her twin brother for a long time. HEHEHE.

"Well, do you have some lollipops, Mr. Bunny?" She asked. "Or do you offer free piggyback rides too?"

"Oh in case I forget, these ton-tongue toffees made of pretty strong stuff so be careful if you want to give it away to your brother." Henric chuckled.

"Again you forget the "Handsome" and the "Gorgeous" in the name,little gryffindor girl." Henric searched his bag for the lollipop she requested and produced one for her. He held it up for her,"You mean this. You want this?"he asked, a mischievous smirk forming on his face. "Before I can let you have one, do you think Henric Nicolei is the bestest best pal you ever had?"

...........

Did this bunny person just read her mind? Nope. He might not be a mind reader. But... someone who knew her very much. Ava was 100% sure who was the person wearing this costume.

But she still wanted to play with him.

HEHEHEHEHE.

And she didn't want to call him handsome and gorgeous. Ewwww... NOPE! IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN! Even if the Mr. Silly!Bunny offered her a thousand lollipops. "Well......" The young lioness scratched her chin. "I would say that he's the bestest pal IF he gave me a piggyback ride." That's the deal.

There were leafy greens skewered on the end of his fork, and though it was raised toward his lips, it didn't appear as though he would be eating it any time soon. In fact, somehow he had managed to forget there was even food on his plate that was going cold.

His index finger on his right hand danced across the page of the book that was laying flat to the side of his plate. Words were going in, but understanding was difficult to form. The basic principle he understood, but it was explaining it with detail that he struggled with. Recalling facts was either a hit or miss. History of Magic was the bane of his existence.

Janelle was hungry. A hungry Janelle was never a good thing. There was only one way to remedy the problem and that was to make a Great Hall run. As she arrived and had her sights set on the Ravenclaw table, something made her take a detour. Better yet, someone had her making a detour.

Janelle saw her Ancient Runes partner with his head buried in a book. He seemed frozen with his fork suspended in midair. Whatever he was reading had to be good. Of course Janelle had to find out what was up. Making a beeline for the Gryffindor table, Janelle sat down next to Zeke and nudged him with her shoulder. "Hey there. What's up? That book must be mighty interesting." Zeke had her attention, but Janelle couldn't help but peek at the vast array of food on the table. Oh yeah, she had come to the right place.

.... he'd read the same few words over and over and over and over... and yeah, over again. Still, he didn't feel as though he would be able to repeat it if someone asked him to tomorrow.

The people milling about didn't interest him in the slightest, he was lost in the world of the 1500's and witch trials, the only thing to snap him out of it was the nudge her received to the shoulder. Huh?

Blinking he turned away from the page to see Janelle beside him, her greeting registering a little late.

"Hey," he returned before glancing back down at the book. "It's horrendous, and I'm not talking about the witch burning..." which was bad enough in theory, but the actual act of studying History, THAT was dreadfully painful. He pushed the book away slightly, happy enough to resign himself from the task for now. "How've you been?" he asked, realising he had a forkful of food waiting to be consumed.

...

Salad? Why did he have a plate of rabbit food? Wrinkling his nose a little, he ate it anyway.

Janelle smiled. "Not you favorite subject, huh" She could sympathize with Zeke on that one. History of Magic could be a tad........tedious at times. Learning about it in class was one thing, but trying to study it from a book was something else again. "I think Professor Glendower had the right idea. Acting out scenes from history made it more fun and easier to remember. Maybe you should take a little break and try again in a few minutes." That always worked for Janelle when her brain was just not absorbing the information.

Spaghetti, that's what Janelle decided she wanted to eat. When she had a steaming plate in front of her, she was happy. Taking her first bite, Janelle swallowed quickly so she could answer Zeke's question. "Me, oh I've been fine. You know, just trying to get my school work done and stay out of trouble." Janelle took another bite of her food, trying not to reveal just how hungry she was. "What about you? How have things been going?........besides studying for History of Magic that is."

Suddenly, Janelle began to laugh. It was random, but she just flashback to their "get to know you session" in Ancient Runes. It was funny, but she felt like she had gotten to know Zeke better in those few minutes than she knew most of her classmates after three years. Feeling the need to explain her outburst to Zeke, she said, "I'm sorry." "I was just remembering your impersonation of Professor Flamsteed and it made me laugh." His performance was truly stellar.

Not his favourite subject? Understatement. "It's my worst," he confessed a little sourly. He wasn't planning on taking it up for OWLs, he'd avoid it like the plague if he could, which is why he had to check some things out first. To make sure he could. Glendower having the right idea didn't sit well with him, it hadn't done him any favours. "I could never learn like that, I felt as though most of it was improvisation, but the thing I've noticed is that we're not really taught the purpose of the lessons, how we're supposed to apply the knowledge... and even that seems a bit thin." The books, the books helped with that... but again, not the application of the understandings. "I dunno, I'm just... trying to get through it."

Stabbing some more salad onto the end of his fork, he raised it to his mouth and devoured it - all the while watching Janelle and her spaghetti. He was glad to hear she was well, but he couldn't help but chuckle a little. "But the trouble is where the fun is at," he asserted, hazel eyes locked on her. Keeping out of trouble was surely boring, safe, but boring. It was by no means a criticism of her though, but he was tempted to perhaps drag her into a little trouble. Something minor...

But how were things? Zeke nodded, "Yeah, good, great actually." He had no complaints. Classes were going well, training was going well, he was successful with his duels, things with Maggie were great. No complaints.

And then laughter ensued.

Zeke grinned, amused with her laughter, so much so that she had his full attention, his rabbit food forgotten. She didn't need to apologise, but he DID want to know what was so funny. Somehow though, he didn't expect it to be him. "Oh, that," he mused, getting an idea.

Without a seconds hesitation, Zeke climbed onto the bench and then onto the table, side stepping the plates and going for a baked potato. Circle it was hot. With the potato in his hand, and two eye-holes poked into it, Zeke mock-fixed his 'suit' by pulling down at his sweater and smoothing down the edges, he then marched a couple of paces past Janelle, his voice taking on a similar flamboyance to their Astronomy Professor. "And the celestial bodies of asteroids and meteors will one day shower down upon us, and pebbles here will be reunited with her alien rock family!"

...

Actually. Whoops. Zeke suddenly paused, remembering where he was and looking to the staff dais before scooting off the table and sliding back to sit beside Janelle. Heh.

Hi.

Boy, Zeke really didn't like History of Magic. "Everybody has their own style of learning, I guess. You've just got to find what works for you and go with it." Then Janelle thought for a moment. "I guess with history, you apply it by learning from what happened in the past. Use the things that worked and avoid the mistakes that were made. Don't repeat the stupid stuff." Know where you've been to determine where you're going, that's what Janelle always heard.

Trouble. Trouble was fun? Yeah it probably was. Janelle gave Zeke a conspriatoral look. It would be fun to get into a little trouble every now and then. She was about to say as much, when reality hit. Janelle was not lacking in the spunk department. She enjoyed having fun just as much as the next kid.........but.........she was a Ravenclaw and that meant she wasn't stupid. She knew that if she got into trouble, she would have to face the wrath of Russell Guidry and that would not be good. Who was she kidding, she was a rule follower through and through. "If you say so. I'll take your word for it."

Just about recovered from her fit of laughter, more hilarity followed. Janelle was completely caught off guard when Zeke jumped onto the table and did a reprise of his Professor Flamsteed impersonation. At first, she was startled and afraid that he would get into major trouble for his act. However, when he held up the baked potato Pebbles, Janelle lost it. She was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. Gasping for breath, she said, "Zeke......... you.......are........crazy! Pebbles........and her........family. " That was hilarious. Janelle followed Zeke's eyes to the staff table, hoping against hope that Flamsteed was not there. Thankfully, he got down and took his seat again. Regaining her composure, Janelle whispered, "You're right, being bad can be fun." She just hoped that there were no consequences for his impromptu show.

It was true, what she said... learning styles and things, they all had their own. What his was regarding HoM was still a mystery to him, but he was trying. "I'll take your word for it," he decided, though how he was supposed to apply things that he didn't think were relevant was beyond him. It was easy to feel lost with the subject. If only it was like Charms or Potions, where A + B = C. Oh well.

He placed his fork on his plate, he wouldn't be needing it any longer, especially not with the look Janelle was giving him. Was it just him? Or did she look tempted by his proposition? But then no, she didn't seem as responsive to the idea as he thought. "You should, I wouldn't lie to you." He smirked a little, contemplating how she might respond if he kidnapped her and dragged her into one of his adventures with Amur. It was always hard bringing in third parties, he found that few could keep up with them... it was probably best for everyone else that way.

As much as he disliked performing, taking on the role of Professor Flamsteed was fairly easy... the man was easy to impersonate - in his opinion - as well as fun. One of the first things he admired about his Head of House was the man's ability to jump on tables and just BE present. Very present. Too present sometimes. But perhaps the best part about performing for the Ravenclaw, was seeing her laugh. It suited her.

Crazy? Yes he was... just a little. Grinning, he plopped potato!pebbles down right beside her plate, turning it so it's eyes were staring her way. "Oh you haven't seen anything yet," he assured her, whispering back. His hazel eyes scanned the staff table again it looked as though he was in the clear for now. Though word of his outburst had the potential to reach his Head of House's ears.

Janelle couldn't quite picture Zeke getting into to trouble, but after his table hopping rendition of Professor Flamsteed........maybe she could. Then he gave her that look. It was that-I'm about to get into some serious mischief, don't you want to come along-look. Wouldn't lie huh? "The last time I heard that, I was grounded for a week." Janelle thought: fun-good, consequences-bad. For her, the consequences far outweighed the fun part. She was too much of a thinker. If she even thought about doing something bad, the possible consequences usually popped into her head and that was that.

Still recovering from Zeke's performance, Janelle suddenly frowned at him. "You know, you've kind of ruined Astronomy for me. You're going to get me in big trouble. The next time Professor Flamsteed goes into his schtick, I'm going to think of you and start laughing......a lot. And if he brings Pebbles out.......forget it. I'll probably be banished from the class for uncontrollable laughing."

And then.......she hasn't seen anything yet? Squinting her eyes, Janelle stared at Zeke. "It seems that I may have underestimated you Mr. Browne" She could only imagine what other antics he had up his sleeve. Sheesh. You think you know someone because you had twenty minutes of secret sharing in Ancient Runes class. Janelle was finding out that there was much more to Zeke Browne. Well hey, they all had layers, right?

From what he had learned about Janelle, he felt he knew her pretty well.... so when she said THAT, he couldn't keep the look of curiosity of his face. Head titled slightly, he watched her for a moment. "You were grounded?" he questioned, hardly believing it, but excited by it at the same time. "What did you do? I have to know." He'd only been grounded on a handful of times, which considering how long he'd been living with his adopted mum, was actually quite a statistic he supposed. Opportunities for grounding were somewhat slim when you had mercenaries as babysitters. Still, when there was a will there was a way.

Seriously though, she had a good smile on her, so when it turned to a frown, he found himself sliding back on the bench a bit. What did he do?!?!!? ....

But then her response had HIM grinning ear to ear. "Good, who needs Astronomy anyway?" It was a rhetorical question, cause, astronauts needed Astronomy, mmhhmm. "But really, you should start working on a cover story for that if it's going to be an issue." He wouldn't apologise though. Nope. In fact... he wanted to be there when it happened, it was a shame he was dropping the subject next year.

Mr. Browne.

That was awfully fancy, he smirked a little. "People tend to do that, " underestimate him, "which isn't a bad thing... means I fly under peoples radars." And it meant he was capable of surprising people - for better and worse.

Janelle held back a laugh when Zeke seemed surprised at her grounding. Truth be told, it was not an isolated incident, but he didn't need to know that. My Zeke was curious, wasn't he? He wanted the details. Giving him a half smile, she responded. "I got caught." Watching Zeke's face for a reaction, she decided to give him a little more information. She paused for dramatic effect and then continued. "Let's just say, it involved a prank that went wrong at my old muggle school. I got busted and my father was not pleased." Janelle decided to leave it at that. Hopefully, Zeke didn't want to hear any more than that.

Who needed Astronomy? It was definitely the most entertaining class with the most entertaining professor at Hogwarts. "Oh it's going to be an issue. Your performance is imprinted in my brain now. When Professor Flamsteed does his thing, and he will, I'm am going to picture you. When I picture you I'm going to laugh. You can bet on it." Just thinking about it made Janelle want to laugh right then. "I don't know what kind of cover story can possibly save me." At least it was good to know that she had a funny memory to make her laugh when she needed to.

"Well flying under the radar is a good thing." In fact, Janelle wished that she could fly under the radar. Somehow, she didn't seem to be as successful at it as Zeke. Maybe she could learn a thing or two from him. She would definitely keep and eye on the older boy. Watch and learn, yeah? Looking Zeke in the eye, Janelle said, "I won't make that mistake again." With a smile, she added, "No, I will not underestimate you again." Janelle continued to stare at Zeke. He definitely had many, many layers. Apparently she had only seen the tip of the iceberg.
