Ellery scratched at her ear quickly, then returned her paw to knee height. She stretched her head up, sniffed once, then twice, then stomped her foot. She could smell something, and she somehow innately knew that it was another animal. It smelled…familiar. She sniffed her own armpit and found that it smelled rather similar. In any other context, smelling like an animal would cause Ellery to shriek, but as she was an animal…it was a good thing.

She bounded forward easily, one, two, three hops, then peered around. She had a pouch on her tummy and she wanted to put something in it. #MarsupialLife

...Whatever Reagan was going to say in response was lost amidst her giggling and wiggling. Infectious, maaaaaaybe...but Sophie had joined her in the hilarity of...whatever they were laughing at. Rea didn't even know, but she couldn't help herself and had dissolved on the spot; flopping on the ground momentarily to catch her breath.

Flopping because she'd tried to crouch down, but fell. The grace of the yoga was NOT with her at the moment.

Peeking over at Soph with an open, loving smile, Reagan maneuvered herself into a sitting position, criss-cross-apple-saucing her legs. "You...are perfection, missy. Do you heaaaar me?" Bouncing, she glanced at the ground. "I'm going to try it sitting down!" Hey, what did she really have to lose?! This was supposed to be practice, anyway....and in the name of research, it would be surely be helpful to know if this spell also worked from the comfort of the Earth....Er, GROUND, she'd meant.

Taking a few breaths to make sure the giggles were GONE...which they weren't, but...abated, mostly...she positioned her hand and wand again. CONCENTRATE. NO LAUG-...hehe....No, REALLY, no laughing. Hehehe.

Ahem.

CONCENTRATION. INTENTION...She wanted that ball in her hand. Out of Sophie's and right into hers. SHE COULD DO IT!...Wand poised, she closed her eyes, before snapping them back opened and thinking DEPULSO! with all her might; OF COURSE, accompanied by the odd 'm' motion.

...and this was fuuuuuun, but she kinda just wanted to roll around in the grass when they finished.

...Was Reagan... did she just FALL TO THE GROUND LAUGHING?

Sophie laughed even more hysterically than before, finding everything to be WAY more funny than it really was, and wanted to run over and flop onto Reagan in a loving dogpile of sorts, but she remained where she was for the sake of productivity, but already planning out ALL THE FUN THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE WHEN THEY WERE DONE PRACTICING.

The only thing that made Soph stop full-on laughing was Reagan's words, and Soph griiiinned big and wagged a playful finger again. "You quit that!" She was nowhere NEAR perfection, as the whole world knew quite well, but when Reagan said she was going to try the spell from the ground over there, Soph gave her a thumbs-up.

"I believe in youuuu," she called encouragingly, still trying to completely stifle her giggles, just as Rea was doing the same. They could go back to being goofy when they got some decent practice in, right? Yes? Good plan. Watching with eager eyes, Soph tried to help the ball along just by HOPING the ball would leave her hand and end up in Rea's instead... and...

REA DID IT!

"Glad to know it works from the ground," Soph grinned, giving her friend a nod. "You're the best at this. You should win an award for Best Depulso-er of All Time." It was nice being around Reagan - it made her feel like a little kid again, like she was free and could just be herself and be silly and not worry about judgment. They could just have fun and relax and not have a care in the world.

With a smile on her face and a song in her heart from Rea's enchanting influence, Soph opened her empty palm, waved her wand in a sweeping motion, and cast Depulso! nonverbally, focused but at ease with the task at hand, the smile never leaving her features.

You know, Rea wasn't even shamed! THE GROUND WAS NICE THIS TIME OF YEAR...(or any time of year, really. The ground was ALWAYS NICE). It had accepted her as its own. She was now ONE with THE GROUND...

Teehee.

"Accept my compliments or so HELP ME, I'LL SNUGGLE YOU TO PIECES." There might've been some silly fist-waving going on to make the threat seem more severe, but Reagan couldn't maintain it and just BEAMED at her friend instead. She simply loved her, okay? This was nice...It felt wonderful just being out on the grounds like any other normal day, completing their homework together again and acting like there weren't any cares in the world.

When her ball went exactly where she'd wanted it to go, the older Ravenclaw BOUNCED and let out a VICTORY SCREECH, which wasn't really a SCREECH, but a SQUEAK. Of course, she didn't celebrate for too long as it was Soph's turn. BUT AFTER THIS, THEY WERE FINISHED, RIGHT? They could just relax and lay on the ground...and breeeeeeath in the autumn air...

Siiiiiiiiiigh.

"You've got this!"...because Sophie was brilliant and Reagan believed in her just as much as she believed in her. In fact, Rea held her palm out, face up, expectantly eyeing the ball. It WOULD disappear and reappear in Soph's hand. It WOULD.

.
.
.

AND IT DID!

Not being able to contain herself, Rea jump up and ran at Sophie, tackling her, to be honest. "YOU DID IT! I'm so proud of you!"

Sophie feigned horror. "Snuggle me to DEATH? YOU WOULDN'T!" she cried dramatically in jest, her hand over her heart, and ultimately CHALLENGING Rea--

...A challenge Rea accepted, it seemed, as soon after Soph's successful banishment, REA WAS CHARGING AT HER.

She braced herself as Rea came running at her, already laughing-- and when she was tackled to the ground, Soph's laughter intensified, squirming under her friend with giddy glee. "You are ridiculous," she giggled, snugly wrapping her arms around the girl atop her and squeezing her in a hug. "It wasn't even THAT big of a deal! All of yours were way better. No one banishes as beautifully and effortlessly as you, Miss Penrose." Soph was already detaching from the hug to playfully boop Rea's nose with her index finger, adding with a beam, "You're the best and the most talented and the smartest and THE biggest, best ray of sunshine in the whole world. Way better than me and EVERYONE. In the ENTIRE WORLD." For EMPHASIS.

And Soph wasn't going to stop with the praise. Ever, probably, or until Rea made her. Hehehehe.

Rooney looked toward Marsha and pondered everything about her. "I think you'd be an elegant eagle, Miss Marsha. But definitely a charismatic cat." Either or. Rooney was positive that his Gryffindor friend would be marvellous at either one of the animals she was struggling to choose between. Her knowledge about kangaroos was really inspiring, causing Rooney to put an arm around her and give her a little hug. Did she know that she made him very proud to be her friend?

It was down to her gesture that Rooney handed her his notebook from his trousers, and drank his potion and waited for it to kick in. He had written a multitude of questions down and just hoped that Miss Marsha noticed and wrote her own version of the answers down for him.

"Am I still me?"

He could hear his voice, so he was certain that he was.

Why was his leg twitching?

... And his tummy warming..?

For a second, Jet wasn't sure what to do with the vial she was holding. She bent down to put it on the floor when he stomach felt really weird and she decided it was better for her to stay in that position. As in a Uttanasana from Yoga praticse, she placed her hands on the ground. It was only then that she noticed her skin was changing and so was the size of her legs.

For Merlin, this was horrible to watch. Before she felt sick, she looked up at Marsha's general direction, still with her hands on the ground, and waited for her transformation to complete.

In a minute or so, she could tell her size was not human anymore. Her eye level was basically about an inch or two from the ground and she could sort of see things from the two sides of her head. She had a feeling she would end up with a massive headache after this.

And she could also feel she had a tail now. Jet didn't know what to think about that.

This feeling was definitely strange to him, which was understandable because he wasn't actually used to doing this kind of thing - it would be weird if he was, correct? His bottom was beginning to itch a little, and as he thought about all of the reasons that could be, he didn't notice the fact his arms were much shorter and almost T-Rex like. And that he was no longer Rooney. Actually, he was Kangarooney.

"WOAAAaaAAAhhhHHHH" Was what he intended to say.. What actually came out was a moan, that definitely sounded like he was in total pain. He wasn't, but he was confused by a lot of the things happening right now.

He had the urge to jump, and also to give Miss Marsha another nudge and a hug and see how that worked as a kangaroo. He didn't though because he was fascinated by the tail he now had. The tail that would not move as much as he willed it to.

So he concentrated, and concentrated and concentrated some more. MOVE TAIL, MOVE.

Man, dogs had this tail thing so easy.

Jet was startled by the sudden cry?moan of pain the boy!kangaroo emitted. She turned her chameleon head towards him, but that only made her see what was on both her sides. Urgh. She turned her head slightly to the side so she could see him. He didn't look in pain. If a kangaroo could look confused, Jet supposed that exactly how it would look.

It was time to test movements now, so the Slytherin lifted one of her chameleon front legs to slowly begin to turn. Merlin, that felt horribly weird and Jet didn't like it. If only she wouldn't feel like she was still a human trapped in an animal's body, she guessed she dislike the activity that much.

She hoped the time would go fast so she could be back to her human form. Although she was curious to see how the colour changing processed worked, if it worked at all on her.

The tail thing was still getting to him, but even more so was the angle his legs were at. He longed to straighten them out like he had been able to previously, but instead found himself looking at his nose. It was much of a cross-eyed look, and Rooney was sure that a kangaroo with cross eyes was close to the funniest thing anyone would have seen, he wished someone was filming this. It would have made an interesting study guide or habitual documentary.

Another moan left the kangaroo, this one much more jovial. The Ravenclaw was trying to convey how cool he thought this was to the Gryffindor, whilst trying not to step on the chameleon he knew was somewhere around here. She had been mere seconds ago, right? Maybe she was near his tail and that was why he couldn't see her instantly.

Another attempt at moving his tail, this time less pressure because he wasn't looking at it, instead he was inspecting his pouch for the suckles that Miss Marsha had mentioned. None that he could see, but the tail! It still was not moving! Was it supposed to just follow him around like a dead weight? It felt hefty and larger than life. He wanted it to wag and say hello for him.

... The concentration however, had not been forced onto his tail. His bowels, actually.

And the contents were on the floor now.

Oh, how embarrassing. He should have stayed in his dorm.

Jet was trying her hardest to keep the headache at bay, but the fact she was seeing things from both sides of her head wasn't any good. Her human brain couldn't cope with that very well and she was praying time would fly.

She closed her eyes for a few seconds, but opened them again when the kangaroo made another noise. This time he didn't sound in pain. Jet closed the eye on the opposite side and looked at him with only one eye. Not ideal, but that felt much better.

But then he... pooped. Jet blinked her one open eye and expected the strong smell to hit her any time soon. However, the odour didn't hit her. In fact, she realised she could hardly smell anything at all. A perk, finally.

Jet still thought it would be a better idea if she moved away from the content he had ejected from his bowls. She lifted her front leg again and tried to move quickly, but that proved to be nearly impossible because she hadn't quite figured out how to move those legs in a proper maner to get her moving faster. Her body shape was also getting in the way of her movements and she was starting to get anxious. Jet didn't appreciate being trapped in an animal's body and she was definitely never going throug the experience again.

It already felt way too long, but she should at least attempt the colour change so she could write about it. Preferably away from the poo.

When she finally got near Marsha's shoe, only one eye guiding her, she tried to start the process.

Calliope had said that Rooney had a crush on Miss Marsha, because he had commented about how funny she was multiple times and even in a letter to their parents. Rooney had thought that was silly of his sister to think and say such a thing because Miss Marsha Hanover was his friend; a very good friend that he did not have a crush on. Because the person he had a crush on was not in the courtyard and would definitely not have been pooped in front of. Not that he had complete control over that area of himself as a kangaroo.

Miss Sophie Brown wasn't here, but Miss Marsha Hanover was.

And he was very embarrassed. He wouldn't be able to apologise nearly enough for this mishap and probably the worst moment of her life, but he made plans in his head to make her lunch or at least share his next chocolate frog with her.

If she wasn't scarred by the colour of chocolate...

Oh, he'd gone and ruined everything.

The next noise from the kangaroo was once more pained, but very genuine of his feelings, and he tried to apologise to the Gryffindor with only his eyes to use, when he noticed the chameleon taking home near her foot. Hopefully Miss Marsha didn't tread on her or anything. Yikes, that could get messy. What would happen if they died as an animal? Professor Culloden had not gone over that fact with them, and their parents had not been informed of the liability of turning into some of these animals. Dying as a kangaroo was harder because Roo was quite large right now, much larger than he had been ten minutes ago as himself.

That was very strange, too. His new view of the world.

................ He was really craving some grass, though. Here grass grass. Heeere grassy grassy grass.

Jet hadn't done much research on chameleons before she transformed into one, so she wasn't sure how the system of the colour change worked. She stood next to Marsha's shoe and closed the eye that was turned towards the kangaroo after double checking on him because of yet another noise he had made. Jet was learning to just ignore them because he actually made a lot of noise and they didn't really mean he was in pain.

Opening the eye that was facing the other girl's shoe, Jet studied the colour of it and wondered how she could turn into a colour that was relatively similar to that. Changing the colour of things - especially if the 'thing' was yourself - without the use of magic was nearly impossible in Jet's mind, but since the actual animal could do it, she reckoned she could do it, too.

Her first option was concentrating. She stared at the colour with her one open eye for several minutes as she mentally told herself to keep the other eye shut. A headache wouldn't help this process. After much staring, her next step was to picture herself turning that colour. She tried to use some Yoga technique to concentrate all her energy in her skin, but that proved to be more difficult than she imagined. Keeping one eye wide open to look at the colour and one eye shut so she wouldn't get a bad headache didn't allow her to use all of the concentration she probably needed for a colour change.

Surely there was some kind of gland that needed to be activated for this to work, but Jet didn't know which gland it was or how to make it work. After what felt like a full hour, she gave up. Jet was more than ready to be human back again and all of her focus now was going to be to avoid being pooped on by the kangaroo.

”Thank you Roo… I think it would be fun to be both… but I think I’ll likely end up being a cat.. I’m always so interested with Duchess and how she is behaving.” Large grin.

OH! THEY WERE CHANGING!!!

Marsha was fascinated. Pure and simple. ”For now… but your …” Giggle. ”You’re definitely changing.” Hehehehe.

Sitting cross legged on the bench, she watched with wide eyes as both Jet and Roo began to change shape; her fallow second year morphing into the much larger Kangaroo and the older Slytherin shrinking away to the size of a … EEEEEE JET WAS SO CUTE!!!! rejoskmlfserfnlk GOSH. LOOK at them both.

Watching them both, she watched Cameleon!Jet’s tail move slightly and Kangaroo!Roo’s arms shortening and resting over his stomach. That moan though… was that a good sound or a bad sound? Because it sound pained… was that… was he in pain or confused? Watching him closely for a few minutes, she couldn’t help the wide beaming smile that spread over her lips as she saw he too had gained his tail - though his was MUCH bigger than Jet’s chameleon tail.

OH! We have movement, Marsha leant forward, both feet finding the ground as she moved to rest her elbows on her knees and her chin on her hands. Watch Jet go… Her legs were moving around slowly, as if trying to figure out how she was supposed to walk with four legs. Though… Rooney seemed to be considering the same with two legs that were shaped so differently to their own… Perhaps that was always something that wouldn’t be normal and natural? Then… since when did being an animal become natural for a teenager?

Giggling and clapping happily, the thirteen year old watched them both experiementing further with their bodies. She watched as Roo …. hahahahahaha. WHOOOOOPSIE. Giggling madly, Marsha gave him a thumbs up. Surely that was something that could … uh, never be experienced again? Giigggggglessss. Well, whatever else happened - Sha’s day was already getting better. Hehehe. Roo you’re the best.

She also watched as Jet made her way over to stand next to her own shoes. Curious… what was she trying to do? She leant even further forward, wrapping her arms around her knees as she looked over the top of them, chest on top of her knees to watch the small chameleon.
Yes Jet? What are you planning?

Moving her head to look between the kangaroo and the chameleon, Marsha Hanover thought this was possibly one of her favourite and best days at Hogwarts school so far. She had so much to write home about, but silently she wondered what Remy had decided to change into… She’d have to find him later on and ask him.

With his accident out of the way, and Miss Marsha not laughing at him for anything, Rooney gave up completely on his tail and decided to try out his locomotor skills. He couldn't walk though.. The attempt ended in a hop and a little jump, and then with him falling into the floor and trying to get back up. He wasnt the best on his feet as a kangaroo, then. That was disheartening. He felt like he had failed his potions assignment already by not being able to do stand and move like a normal kangaroo.

He didn't keep his attention on the chameleon by Miss Marsha's feet and tried to move once more. A little shuffle....

And then a hop! A glorious hop!

If he could beam, he could. And he would, but he didn't. He continued to jump, up and up and more and more. Hop pity hop pity hop.

Phillip could hear something. And smell something. Something that wasn't stinky teenagers -- hadn't these people heard of DEODRANT?! HELLO?! -- and their heavy HEAVY stomping. In fact, this new kind of stomping felt stronger. MUCH stronger than anything a human could--

WAS THAT A KANGAROO?!

The boy GASPED. Or, er, did the fox equivalent of a gasp which wasn't R E A L L Y a gasp but it counted, okay?! He was SURPRISED. And a little jealous because being a kangaroo sounded like it would be fun. Tiring from all the hopping but FUN. Give him a pouch to hold his sweets and he would be happy.

There was a moment or two of staring before the Slytherin started bounding towards the new animal. Was it a person doing the homework as well or were there really kangaroos around? Phillip didn't know. All he knew was that he HAD TO get to this kangaroo and investigate that pouch. He was curious, okay?

It didn't take him long to reach the animal, not since he was on all fours. The wind made whistling sounds in his ears and, given his attention span, it was getting harder and harder to concentrate on one thing. Merlin, why didn't the potion give him a BETTER attention span? THAT would have been more useful than, uh, having fur that was making him sweat.

And then he POUNCED.

Right towards that pouch.

Hello, kangaroo!

Colt was seeing Candice was slowly getting used to the skateboard. It was progress that was for sure. He smiled at her and she was doing good for a newbie. He smirked at her comment. Did she just call him a Mr.Casanova? He laughed and shook his head. "Nah I am not Mr. Casanova. Trust me I am not a flirt like my cousin." He raised his eyebrows at her next comment. Was he gonna tell her? Hmm he was thinking about it. He smirked even more and shrugged innocently. "Hmm I don't know. It might be fun to keep you in suspense." he snickered some more. "What do you wanna know about her?" he asked. Well he might as well give the first question an answer. "As for your first question, her name is Kate Addison." he nodded.

He let her go and waited. "Go on then.." he held his arm out and waited for her to push off.

Wait, Beans? Evie snorted out a laugh. "You named your cat Beans?" What a weirdo. Josh was kind of a weird name for a cat too, but it was better than Beans by far. Finally, Evie stopped smothering the poor kitty with love and affection and sat down on the bench beside Caleb. HOW had he not met little Button before? "I don't know... He follows me around a lot, but I guess not when I see you. We should have a kitty play date." Because that was totally normal, right?

She laughed when expressed his worry of being poisoned. "I can't cook to save my life. I nicked them from the kitchen." So, considering the house elves have been cooking their whole lives, he probably wasn't going to get poisoned. "Oi, leave some for me!" she exclaimed when she realized Caleb had almost eaten them all. "I did get them for me, after all." Evie stole them off of his lap but kept his little kitty on her lap and stuffed half a cookie into her mouth.

Caleb laughed and shook his head. "No, not a cat! My rat. I think I was hungry...and also, I was 11, so I kind of have an excuse for being stupid," he told her with a grin. He took his kitten off her lap now that she was focusing on the cookies, which were thankfully not poisoned, and Josh obediently curled up on his lap and yawned.

"You know, I haven't nicked anything from the kitchens since I've been here. Seriously. I should do that before I leave," he said, thinking out loud as he reached down and began to pet Josh between the ears. "And yes, a kitten play date! I haven't seen Josh around other cats...but he holds his own with the crup, so he will probably welcome the company of another cat," he chuckled. He had specifically picked out his kitten because it seemed like the most social of the bunch. He always said if he was going to get a cat, it was going to be a social cat who liked people. Like a dog!

Whoops!

Maybe Adi had tossed his coin a bit too enthusiastically hence the biggish splash. He rested his hands on the edge of the fountain and with Hady, watched the coins disappear. "Oh, yeah. Definitely!'' Hufflepuffs and Slytherins made a great duo of friends, you know. Like him and Zhenya. Or Beverly. And now him and Hady

When the coins had vanished, Adi straightened up. "That's that, Hades! We're gonna be friends for life!'' He grinned, bouncing on his feet again. "Well, I'll see you around. I promised one of the new Badgers I'd hang out with her.'' He gave his Snakey friend a big, squishy hug.

SPOILER!!: Adi!

Whoops!

Maybe Adi had tossed his coin a bit too enthusiastically hence the biggish splash. He rested his hands on the edge of the fountain and with Hady, watched the coins disappear. "Oh, yeah. Definitely!'' Hufflepuffs and Slytherins made a great duo of friends, you know. Like him and Zhenya. Or Beverly. And now him and Hady

When the coins had vanished, Adi straightened up. "That's that, Hades! We're gonna be friends for life!'' He grinned, bouncing on his feet again. "Well, I'll see you around. I promised one of the new Badgers I'd hang out with her.'' He gave his Snakey friend a big, squishy hug.

So she may have had to possibly be on her tippy toes to easily peer down over the side and watch the coins disappear. No biggy. Clearly she was used to be smaller then others not that it bothered her in the least. Actually she rather much liked it, it set her out from all the rest. "Like we needed coins to tell us this though!," she laughed spinning around to face her older friend once the coins were completely out of sight. Not that the extra power to keep their friendship alive wasn't thanked of course.

Bounce. Bounce. Hady rocked easily on her heels grinning up at Adi. "Have fun with the youngun." She welcomed the hug given having no trouble returning it as well. "Yep, I'm always around somewhere." If he wanted to seek her out again sometime soon he was more then welcome to. It's not like she hide from people or anything. "See ya."

So skateboarding was not as difficult as she thought it would. As long as she managed to keep her balance. And its kinda fun too. Not a flirt like his cousin? Chuckle. "But aren't you a bit young to have a crush?" But then again she had her first crush when she's a first year. But its more like an admiration and because that boy has a nice face. Candice was waiting for him to tell her about this girl of his. "Its not nice to tell someone just a bit piece information you know." So Colt spill! What she want to know? "Is she in the same house as yours?" That's the first thing that popped into her head. Huh? Kate Addinson? Unfortunately she didn't know any Kate Addinson. "What's she like?"

Candice started to push off while trying to maintain her balance. "So what do I do if I want to turn?"

Colt observed Candice and she was doing pretty well for a newbie status. He had to admit he was impressed. He tilted his head at her question and he chuckled. He couldn't help it but he did expect it. "I don't think I am. I mean it is just a crush is all. Nothing too serious yet." He will only know things in time. He laughed and liked seeing her in suspense and he was amused by her comment. Now she was asking the obvious questions, I guess she wanted to be nosy. He shrugged and thought he would give out the little details. "No she isn't. She is the Ravenclaw house." He liked that better because they wouldn't be seeing each other every single day and they will have space which is what people want.

What is Kate like? He smiled and said, "Well I am just getting to know her which I am having a lot of fun doing. I know she liked chocolate chip pancakes and she is great so far. She is kind, sometimes sensitive but can speak up when something is bothering her which I don't mind at all.." Ah now she was onto the turning question. He smirked and said, "You need to lean your body weight to the side you want to turn on!"

Now his turn to ask one question. "So tell me do you have a crush on someone?"

This was fun. Maybe she should asked her brother for a skateboard for Christmas. "Well, I'm not going to judge if its serious." As long as Colt remember to introduce her to the girl. OH! "Ravenclaw? She must be very smart then?" Because most Ravenclaw she knew were smart. "Have any plans yet for Christmas with Kate?" Nudge. Nudge.

The girl liked chocolate chip pancakes? Yikes. What's with teenagers and sugary things? "She sounds like most girls." Chuckles. The sensitive part. OK! Back to the skateboard. OH! She only need to lean her body weight? Sounds easy. She leaned her body to the left like Colt said earlier. And....

THUD!

She fell on her knees. Apparently turning the skateboard was more difficult than she thought. Or maybe its because Colt's question that kinda screw up her balance "No. Not at the moment. Some of the boys in my year are stupid anyway." Like that Hufflepuff.

"You better not judge or if you do I am gonna judge you and your crush when he comes along.." he smirked. He would do it though. It is something Colt would do. He snorted and chuckled, "Yeah she is smart." So much for house stereotypes there huh? "She doesn't like being called a nerd. I teased her about it and she is a little sensitive.." he shrugged. How was he supposed to know that but least she told him. That was progress right? He raised his eyebrows at her question and shook his head. "Nah not really I might take her around the grounds and possibly sneak a few snowballs at her." She would never see it coming.

When he saw Candice turning and leaning her body weight, he stood there and saw the lion fall. His eyes went wide and he jumped into action. "Bloody merlin are you alright?" He motioned to help her up but she seemed like she got it. When he heard her answer, he couldn't help but laugh. "Well usually guys are stupid as my mother points out. I am sure you like someone.." he teased her. Nudge nudge.

He gonna judged her and her crush when he come along? Chuckles. "Don't let your hope up, kid!" Candice ruffled his hair. She couldn't help it. Sorry, Colt. "No one like being called nerd, Colt." Someone definitely need to teach the Slytherin what to say and what not to say to a girl, especially a girl that he liked. Just playing snowballs? How boring. "No kissing under the mistletoe then?" Hehehe.

That was HURT. Well, at least her knees were okay. "I'm fine. Just a tiny scratch. No biggie." She could still got up and continue skateboarding. To prove her point, Candice got back on to the board. See totally fine. "Your mother is a wise woman. Well, look wise I like a LOT of boys but personality wise none." Shrugs.
