To throw in a coin or not? Hey, if that coin was wasted that meant he had a little less money to buy sweets which he considered essentials. Bouncing on his feet, his hands shoved in his pockets, he contemplated some more. Well, he did that until there was the voice that broke into his thoughts.

Haha! That was a pun... or something. But it was a good one and it got a laugh out of the seventh year. "HEEEEYA, Hades of the Underworld!'' he said cheerily. "Just trying to figure out if tossing a coin in here was worth it.'' But enough with that. "What's up?''

SPOILER!!: Adi!

Boy was hyper. Watching him bounce a bit on his feet Hady was instantly reminded of a little snake that couldn't sit still. Ever. The kid was cute though so it was cool. However this wasn't a firstie this was her older buddy and she was all for knowing what was on his mind.

The use of her nickname made her send a grin his way along with a quiet laugh. Seems she was slowly gathering new nicknames lately. "Heya! Hmm well that would depend on if the wish is worth of a coin or not." Was it Adidas? Cause why waste a coin on a wish that had no chance of coming true. "Not much. Just wandering about mostly." Trying to make up her mind on what to do with her free time.

Oh, Evie had healed JUST fine. She was a tough cookie. Which, now that she thought about it, wasn't saying much because even the toughest of cookies were still made of flour and could STILL crumble. Evie was tougher than a tough cookie. She was like... tough beef jerky. So hard to chew it made your jaw hurt.

Weird analogy, but it works.

Evie took a seat on the bench beside Caleb, holding the soft little kitty to her chest and nuzzling it into her neck. "Awwww, Joooosshhhh. What a cute wittle name for a cute wittle kitty!" Evie exclaimed in her squeaky little baby voice she only used on small cats and children. Hopefully Caleb didn't think she was crazy... "I do," she replied, back to her normal voice. "He's all black with a little white patch on his tummy. His name is Button."

HAH. "Caleb, why wouldn't I have cookies?" That was the REAL question!

He demonstrated by showing her the levitation spell effortlessly,of course, by lifting the small branch just a few inches off the ground."Don't lose sight of it and gently put the branch down like this..." He moved his wand downwards and let the branch settled in its original position."See...easy! Give it a go,"he grinned, encouraging her.

He didn't like this idea one bit."Its not how small or big you are, kid! Levitating a first year up high is completely mental! I could lose housepoints for this if a professor walks by and see me! A-And, how come you're not scared?" Oh yeah, she was a Gryffindor...and she was right too. Where could they find a big ladder around here? It would take them ages to find it.

Patience. Well, she wasn't a very patient person especially to learn new stuffs like this. Ava just wanted to learn the spell, practice it and showed it to Teddy and she could do the levitating charm. Wingardium leviosa. Woaaaah! "Lemme try! Lemme try!" The brunette then tried the charm to a the branch that Henric provided.. Concentration... Swish and flick... "Wingardium leviosa!" She cast the charm as she swished and flicked her wand to the branch.

.
.
.
.

Nothing happen.

Try again, Ava! "Wingardium leviosa!" It did levitate but then the branch fell again to the ground. One more try? "Wingardium leviosa!!!" The Gryffindor girl swished and flicked again her wand to the leaf and.... IT WORKED!! She raised her wand higher and higher and that made the branch levitated higher and higher too. "I DID IT!" She beamed happily and squished Henric's cheeks. Oops....

But she made a point here. "I cannot do the charm on you, yet. but you can. And there's no other choice here, Henric. You really wanna find a ladder in this huge ancient castle? Good luck for that." She insisted him to do the levitating charm on her. "And I don't have a fear of height, I often climbing trees and yeah.... earlier I did slip and injured myself but it's okay. I can handle the injury." She did break her ankle once, and then her wrist too when she was eight. And speaking of climbing... "Or how about I climb the statue to put the basket?" She offered the alternative solution.

Dante had just come here to relax. Nothing more. Maybe silently laugh at what people where doing and wearing. But other than that he was not sure what he wanted to do right now. He was sure he was just going to ride his skateboard down a random corridor later. But right at his moment.

He was bored.

He knew it would it last long since he had to go to the library later to study and yes he does study. You would have to be an idiot or a genius not too.

But right now he was just siting down in the courtyard and watching people. It was amusing to him.

Maggie was on her way back from sitting by the lake. There was really only so much one could do there and to be honest she was only procrastinating. She had things to do but had opted to sit under a tree instead. Despite the fact that the castle was SO big, it turned out that avoiding someone wasn't as easy as it would seem. The lake had been fine though. All quiet.

Also extremely boring somehow.

Which was why she'd eventually got up and was now walking back to the castle. Maybe she should get started on that homework after all. Siiiiigh.

Or, you know, not. Heh. "Hiiii." Maggie quickly sat down next to Dante before he could object. Not that he would but you know. "What are we doing?" Because whatever it was he was doing she was in. It definitely beat doing her homework.

Maybe he should just get out his potion book out of his bag and start reading it. He did want to prove to Professor C he could go a whole term with you know blowing up the whole place. It was number one on his list of things he wanted accomplished academically this term. But those ideas got pushed to the side when he heard Maggie.

Dante grinned

"Hey! How have you been?...and We are partaking in the fine art of people watching. Since you know I was bored and happened to arrive in the courtyard from class."

He did not really have a deeper meaning or anything. Plus it beat boredom.

Its Fall season already. Candice loved Fall. Its not too cold and all that pretty color from the leaves. Its THE BEST season! So she's not going to waste her time inside her common room all day long. The Gryffindor decided to take a walk around the grounds.

She was thinking to go to the lake and playing with the water before it gets too cold but when she was walking in the courtyard, she saw someone was playing with their skateboard and doing some little tricks.

Wait. Wasn't that Colt?

"Nice trick!"

His grin was returned and she moved a little closer to sort of hug his arm.

Because that was a great way to greet someone, yes.

His first question was a rather loaded one, although she had been fine considering things. "Good...mhm...I'm good." Moving on. "Oh one of my favorite things to do." People watching that is. "Did you see anyone good? Any embarrassing things happen yet? Anything I missed?" Hmm? So many questions and she wanted answers to all of them.

"That's Good"

He was not going to question it anymore. Since he was not that interested and if there was stuff she needed to tell. She would...maybe. Shrug. Whatever. He was here to people watch. Not think about what she could have been up to since stepping foot back in the castle.

"Well i have just sat down for like 5 minutes before you got here. But i did see someone wearing a hat that should not be seen in public. Looked like a blue bucket hat and it was hideous"

Really someone people just cant wear hats. Him, included

It was True.

Yes it was, she supposed.

"How are you?" Anything interesting happen with him?

At his next words, Maggie looked around in search for said hat. Only she couldn't find them. UGH. Had she JUST missed the person with the weird hat?? REALLY???? "Where did they go? Was it a girl? Or a boy?" She wasn't even sure which one would be funnier. Probably the girl because they were more worried about the way they looked.

Boys just sometimes did whatever and still looked good.

"I've been good. I mostly went and talked to the new Professors. See what they were like."

Shrug.

Really did she miss the hilarious guy. "It was a guy and you would be on the floor laughing at his hat. Though i don't see him now." Well not really because that was uncool. But she would be laughing. Uh, must have went back into the castle or wander the grounds. Hopefully he went back the castle to burn that hat. Should do that before anything else.

"But there is a another guy with a giant man purse"

Dante smirked and pointed. It was not even cool enough to be called a satchel.

Colt was totally in the zone of doing his skateboard tricks because he didn't even see Candice there. He jumped a little bit but not enough to get him off his skateboard. "Hey there Candice!" he greeted her and rode his skateboard next to her. "Thanks." he smirked and put his skateboard down. "Seems I am not the only one who thought to get fresh air today." He wasn't trying to show off or anything he was just doing what he loves. "Do you board?" he asked her curiously. It would be cool if she did, if she didn't he could give her some lessons.

Being back to Hogwarts was definitely a good thing. You didn't get to do enjoy fresh much in Durmstrang. Its always cold there. In Hogwarts, she could still used her regular robes when she walked around the grounds during falls.

But back to the skater boy. "Hi, Colt!" She greeted him with a nod. "Yes, I didn't get much fresh air back in Durmstrang. And I guess I'm not the only one, huh?" Grins. Did she skate? "My brother taught me a few year back but I never figure out how to stop." She pointed to his skateboard. She's pretty sure that it didn't have a break or something like that.

"Nope you aren't at all. I mean this place is great! You can explore like anywhere and it seems like the grounds are somewhat safe. I mean if you avoid the Forbidden Forest like my cousin told me. He says there are huge spiders and other dark creatures in there." He wondered if that was true. He waited for Candice to comment on it. Ah so her brother taught her a few years back. He nodded and hey that was better than nothing. Good job on her brothers part. "Well I can teach ya how to stop. It is not that hard. It is the way you balance on your board and using your feet." he shrugged like it was no big deal. "I mean if you want me to that is." He said skating around her and trying to show her how he stopped his skateboard.

Kaycee's eyes widened. "All?" she asked. "That's insane." She couldn't even imagine that much studying. It made her head hurt. A lot. She was already dreading next term.

Eek.

"That's ambitious." Because she should probably do more than call a girl she just met insane.

Candice nodded her head when Colt comment on how great Hogwarts was. Then he mentioned about the Forbidden Forest. "Yeah. Both my uncle and my brother gave me the same warning." But that made her more curious about the Forbidden Forest. She hoped one of the Professor going to held the lesson there. Maybe COMC? Finger crossed. "Yes, and I heard they have spiders attack last term." Too bad she missed all that.

Its all about balance? "I have no balance." She mumbled. That's why her brother got very frustrated when he taught her how to skate and fly a broom. He's willing to teach her? Cool! "Sure. That would be cool." The Gryffindor watched as Colt skated around her. He made it looked so easy. Using the left foot part sounds not that hard but the balance thing would be a challenge.

Laughter. Adi liked laughter. It made his heart siiiiing! Hehe. Hady had a nice laugh so this was a bonus. "Oh, it's definitely worth it!'' He was thinking along the lines of his career after Hogwarts but he also had enough confidence in himself to make it happen when the time came. "Do you reckon I could tell you about it? I mean, if I do toss a coin in, you think it will still come through?" Adi was not the superstitious type but when it came to his future, he didn't want to play around.

"What about you, Hades? You ever tossed any coins in?'' The Hufflepuff kept bouncing for a while but now ceased doing that to march around the rest of the fountain. "This thing looks deep enough to swim in.'' Deep, yes, but not long and wide enough. Too bad.

SPOILER!!: Adidas!

A wish worthy of a coin. It had to be something he truly wanted then. That's the only way she'd waste a coin on it now that she wasn't a little kid anymore. "I wouldn't know honestly. Of its something that's probably going to happen anyway then I'd say you can tell me if you want." When she was small and made wishes hers would come true but that was when she wished for a certain toy or a pair of sneakers. Nothing like she'd wish for now.

Watching the Puffer march around Hady laughed again shaking her head at him. "You have one to many chocolate frogs today?," She teased him. He was sure acting like he had but that's what made him fun to be around. "Nope. Well not in this fountain anyways. When I was younger I used to toss coins into the fountain at the mall." Every single time they went there. It was like a habit or something. Still peering down into the water she nodded. "Yeah it probably is. Shall we toss some coins in and give this a shot?" If he gave it a go so should she. Only what to wish for?

Henric stood back and watched Ava tried her best using the levitation charm. The girl was determined, yup...he could see the concentration on her face. He could literally see the veins in her forehead popped out. >.< "Relax Ava, you've got this,don't give up! Remember...swish and flick your wand, that's right."He smiled proudly. And when she finally succeed lifting up the branch off the ground, he couldn't help be more prouder for her."Yes you did! You DI- oww!" Swatting his hand over her pinching fingers."Not the face,Ava!"he laughed.

He stood listening to her, flinching slightly that the girl wasn't afraid of heights or even injuring herself. What was with this girl? Did she think that she was made of steel or something? Not only that, she suggested to climb over that thing?! "Nope...no,that is totally a bad idea...what if you slip and fall, I be held responsible and you have to be sent to the hospital wing, Healer Murdoch will blame me for everything. I am positive she will. You think she will let me off easily? No no.. I just don't want to get on her bad side again...end of discussion..."He refused straightaway. Henric had a habit of thinking too much, thanks to his upbringing. "Fine,let's do the first suggestion,I will lift you up but you have to remain still...got it?" And if that failed, he would seriously need to find someone to conjure up a ladder for them.

New professors.

There were a lot of those. "What are they like? Better than the last ones I hope." Like, MAYBE just MAYBE they wouldn't all be in mortal peril this year. Maybe. That would be cool. Almost dying was just such a nuisance. Maggie kind of really wanted to tell him about the detention thing but wasn't entirely sure how to bring it up so nevermind. Maybe later.

They were people watching now anyway.

On the floor? "I would hope you would keep me from, like, falling to the floor." Maggie stopped looking around and fixed her eyes on him instead, a grin playing around her lips. "I can't believe I missed him though." What a shame. Like, why was she always late to all the things.

Or maybe she wasn't. Heh. Which was just....hideous. So hideous in fact that Maggie actually shuddered slightly. She wasn't even sure what to say. "I...just....can't." She closed her eyes for a moment so she didn't have to look at IT anymore.

"Why? Just....why? That's so wrong."

"Well the Herobolgy Professor is insane. There is no doubt about that. But he seems competent. And the other two seem proper. Not on Bellaire's level. But they seem like they know their stuff."

He still thought the Herbo Professor was doing something he should be doing with some magical herbs. But that was just guessing and he would never say it out loud.

"You know i would not let you fall to the ground. I was being probably over dramatic. Just laughing would be more than fine"

It was really wrong. Some people should not allowed to pick clothes out. It was the truth.

"It is like this Castle needs a Fashion Police or something. So we don't see things like THAT and good thing you missed it because you can't unsee it"

"Like why warn us about it? I am sure it is not that scary.." he said looking at it in the distance. "Yeah I heard possibly one student got eaten. Which ya know that is not one of the deaths I would imagine going out on." That is something he would imagine on a Sci Fi movie or something. "You have no balance? I don't believe that." he said amused. Now onto the teaching part of the lesson. "Alright first thing you gotta do is relax. If you are really tense then your balance will be off." That was something to point it. "Secondly, we will just go slow and you will learn to stand on the board and I will push you." he told her coming up from behind her. He got off his board and waited for her to get onto it.

The Herbology professor. Okay. Noted. ANOTHER crazy professor.

Maggie nodded slowly. "Well, no one's on Bellaire's level for you, right?" Her lips curled into a smirk. He was going to regret having told her about that. Hehe. It was funny though. Very amusing.

Ah yes good. See, that's why they were best friends. She could count on him to not let her fall. Which apparently extended to the literal sense too. "I like over-dramatic." Was all Maggie said, however, giving him a grin. She definitely would have laughed at the guy. Maybe she could meet him. He might have more of those hilarious accessories.

A Fashion Police. Omg. That was brilliant. Maggie opened her eyes again but had turned her head to be looking at Dante instead of the THING. "Only if it comes with one of those police hats." She tapped the top of her head with an amused smirk. Mhm. She could totally see that.

Did she not look relax? Well, how could she be relax? Ava really wanted to be succeed at performing this charm. This was her first charm lessons outside the class. If she could perform it successfully, she's gonna show it her smarty-pants brother that she could levitate thing with her wand by using levitating charm of course. You think that you're the only one who could practice the charm, Theodore? And she did it! Ava Salome Burton just successfully performed the levitating charm! Big thanks to Henric Nicolei who just taught her. See that, Teddy? She wished that her twin brother could see it. Well, maybe later once they met.

Oooops.... "Sorry, I'm just too excited. And by the way, your face is squish-able." Was that a word, squish-able? Hehehehe... The lioness didn't care because SHE JUST PERFORMED LEVITATING CHARM! "Thaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for teaching me. You're such a good senior." Wink wink. Maybe she should give him cookies or sweet treats in return. And back to their basketball business.

Ava listened to Henric explanation why he wouldn't want to levitate her. Blablablablablablablablaaaaa......... But in the end, he agreed to do that. Huh, such an indecisive person. Butbutbut.... LEVITATING HER! The firstie beamed excitedly. "Okay then, I am gonna be VERY STILL." She promised. Pinky promise, hehehe. "Okay, I'm ready when you are."
