Since 1971, this infamous plant has kept it's reputation for not favouring visitors. The Whomping Willow is an extremely violent tree that will attack anything and anyone that comes within range of its branches. A deciduous plant, its limbs function as arms and any damage to them must be treated in the same way and more. So unless you want to spend most of your time in the Hospital Wing being treated, it's best to keep your distance.
"Of course you are," he gave her a skeptical look, but of course she definitely was always ready. You could literally throw the most random situation at Sophie Brown and she'd know how to handle it PLUS SOME. It was a quality of hers that Zander admired... er.... Not surprising, yeah? Ahem. Riiiiiiight. Sophie Brown was ready. Which meant, he had to be ready even if he didn't really feel ready... And come to think of it, he was never really ready for a potions homework assignment. They were sticky. Always.
That's why he was glad to be around Sophie Brown for this one. 'Cause with Soph around, what could possibly go wrong? She was always ready. See, it came in handy. Zander was like a walking disaster and Sophie was like the walking solution. All is well in the land of Hogwarts for another day. Thanks, Sophie Brown. What would the world do without you? Aheeeeeeem.
What? He was only really half listening when she raised that question. Huh. But she did have a good point. Zander hadn't really thought of that before. He did know that he'd still have his own human thoughts, but there wouldn't be any way to translate his thoughts to Soph... Huh. Well, uh, that could be a problem, right? Uuuuuuuum. "Not a chance, Soph! You're on!!" A race it was. He was so down. And if Astronomy hadn't shown her anything, he would have no mercy. Girlfriend or not. What kind of competitive Gryffindor would he be otherwise, right? Right.
And as she uncorked her own potion, Zander reached into his pocket to grab for his own, unscrewing it as well. "Um, right," he smiled, blushing brightly. And well, "Bottoms up!"
A race it was, then. "We'll go..." She scanned the distance in all directions, trying to decide... then she pointed. "We'll go to that far tree," the one wayyyy out there, a fair way across the grounds, "then come back. First one back here close to the Whomping Willow but not close 'nuff to get smashed by it wins, how 'bout that?" Hehehehe.
"Cheers," Soph gently clinked her vial with Zander's. "See you on the other side." She gave the potion a pensive sniff - wouldn't be terrible, she thought, then downed the dose of her vial, giving a shiver as the potion made its way down her throat.
And she instantly thought she was going to toss her cookies back up. The feeling in the pit of her stomach wasn't a good one, it was a nauseating, twisting, gross feeling, a feeling that slowly crept through her whole body in all directions, from her head to her toes to the tips of her fingers--
And before she knew it, she could feel her body contorting, twisting, growing smaller in height while her arms extended outward, first sprouting feathers as they went brown, then feeling them actually turn into full-fledged wings, her vial crashing to the grass. Her head was shrinking, too, and her nose was becoming shorter, and hardening to a beak--
Within a few more seconds, the transformation was complete, and Head Girl Sophie Brown was an EAGLE.
The world looked... awfully small from down here. But she was an EAGLE and she could FLY. Well... probably. She would probably be able to fly. Right? It... couldn't be that hard. But. For... now, she watched to see how Zander's transformation went. He was gonna look AWESOME, and hopefully SHE looked awesome, TOO.

Zander carefully followed her finger to the far tree and back over to the Whomping Willow. He wasn't too sure about that last bit... Y'know, the part about getting as close to the Whomping Willow as possible, but he grinned and nodded all the same. "You're going down," he griiiiined. Except Sophie would have a totally unfair advantage. 'Cause there were tons of obstacles on the ground, but hardly any in the sky!!! PLUS she could always hover OVER the Willow and still be considered close. But Zander would be on the ground. On all fours. Right in the Willow's reach. But y'know what? Challenge accepted.
It'd make the win all the more enjoyable. Plus Sophie would probably be doubly impressed. Or at least that's what he'd convince himself to keep somewhat motivated. Ahem.
But he watched as Sophie took her potion before taking one large sip full of his own. The face she made looked almost painful, so Zander decided to take the thing in one entire go.Which... Blegh. His faces most likely mimicked Sophie's and man he definitely regretted that sandwich he had munched on only an hour earlier. This was a very bad-- Uh oh. Y'know, he wasn't even sure how this was supposed to go but suddenly, instead of standing up on his feet, he was bending over to stand on all fours.
His hair was doing a funny thing too. It was growing inches upon inches to surround his face... Almost felt like fourth year Zander all over again... But this time it wasn't blonde that made up his mane. The tail was arguably the most painful part of the entire process. Zander hated it. He just decided. But... He felt kind of powerful? His head was super heavy and his back felt strange to be curved this way... But he kind of liked it too??? HA!
Which meant, it must've worked??? He was a lion??? Zander Adair was LITERALLY GRYFFINDOR now. Take that Zahra Kettleburn. Hmph. Not a badger, but a total lion. But anyways, uh, he looked over at Sophie which uh vision was weird AND WOW SHE WAS A V PRETTY EAGLE ahem and attempted at a smile, which didn't properly work. Shaking his mane around a little he went to say something along the lines of 'when do we start?' before realizing that the only noises coming out of his mouth were the roaring kind.
HERE ME ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR.
But not on purpose. Uh. Sorry. He forgot he couldn't do the human thing anymore. Man. Being an animal was so restricting.

Being an eagle? It was really, really weird. Aside from FEELING different - instead of having arms that hung to her sides she had massive wings, she had a weird beak, and her talons felt weird against the grass - the world around her seemed different, too. Everything was... so much clearer, so much more defined, and she could see SO much farther than she ever had as a human. The leaves on the trees in the distance were clear as day, and she could even see the movement of a few fellow birds in the distance, even making out more distinct features on them.
This. was. WICKED.
That also meant she could SEE with GREAT DETAIL the transformation of Zander as he followed suit behind her, and eagle!Sophie watched with attentive eyes as his very handsome fur began sprouting. She would've been smiling if she could've - and it was actually weird to NOT be able to smile, nor laugh... and that was the first moment Sophie Brown didn't want to be an eagle anymore because... no smiling nor laughter? Her two FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WHOLE WORLD? This was awful. How was she supposed to express emotions now? She couldn't make facial expressions, she couldn't laugh, she couldn't talk and joke around--
"Caw! Caw!"
...Well, that was bizarre, as was Zander's ROARING. They were... animals. Like, actual animals. And... Zander was like five times as big as her. Hahahaha. She would've laughed if she could, but instead, Soph started hopping on her talons to get over to the lion, and when she did, she promptly pecked once at his paw. Her way of teasing him, even in animal form.
curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog
SNIFF SNIFF SNIFF. Something smelled GOOD here but what was it exactly? It was...an animal? No, not that...it was...FOOD. SOMEONE HAD BEEN SNACKING HERE...something with cheese. That was the smell. Cheddar cheese, if he wasn't mistaken. But it didn't seem like it was here anymore. It was just the leftover smell that Beagle!Caleb was picking up. Interesting. It was like the footprint of the cheese that he was smelling - and it probably was strengthened by the fact that he was a Beagle too. Beagles were like TOTALLY the best sniffing dogs out there.
Caleb looked up and realized he was by the Whomping Willow, which didn't seem to be picking up his movement at all since he was smaller. That was interesting...and another reason to become an animagus! Hehe.

Take THAT, ZANDELION.
Man Zander felt absolutely massive. It was a normal occurrence, being so much taller than Sophie... But this.... THIS was an entirely different experience all together. Like... He could pretty much squish her with one movement of his paw. Weird to say he had paws now by the way. Not sure if he liked it.Everything beat the tail though, that he wouldn't ever get used to. Speaking of which, how long was this thing meant to last?
He wanted to ask Sophie, but again remembered that he couldn't. RAAAAAH. This was tough.
But Sophie's squawking did help alleviate some of the frustration because Merlin, that sounded nothing like her usual sweet voice. Hehe. He wanted to laugh, bUT HE COULDN'T. Being an animal was the weirdest thing.
And just 'cause he was a big ol' lion didn't mean the pecking had no effect on him! OUCH, SOPH. He lifted his paw slowly (because merlin this was a lot heavier than he had been expecting) and shook his paw all around hoping that she'd fly off.... She did know how to fly right? Like the without a broomstick kind? With her wings?
He must've looked ridiculous.
So much for being a grand, majestic lion. Thanks, Sophie. AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE RACE?

If she could've giggled, she would have, but instead she just looked VERY smug for an eagle and casually pecked at lion!Zander's other paw, her keen eagle eyes curiously examining his every... erm... expression? The way the lion's face moved, its mannerisms - they were very unlike that of Zander, except for the nice mane, and Soph wanted to run her fingers through it.
Except... she didn't have fingers. She had talons. She was a BIRD.
She found herself hoping that her potion was weaker than Zander's and would wear off sooner than his, though, so she COULD run her fingers through it later and ride him. Ride... the lion, like he was a horse or something and be the QUEEN OF THE... HOGWARTS GROUNDS. A kid could dream, right?
Done with harassing the lion, eagle!Soph hopped away from him a few feet and stretched her massive wings outward, quite liking the feeling of her feathers being ruffled in the crisp autumn breeze. She felt... weird, though, like... her bones were so... frail? She could tell it wasn't like her normal human bones, but she still felt... strong in a way, like when she feathered out her wings, it was like... if she flapped them enough, it could've carried her all the way to Timbuktu. She felt... powerful. Mighty. Majestic. Like... the world was at her fingertips. Or... talontips.
She turned her head back to look at the lion suspiciously for a moment, making sure he wasn't taking off for their race yet - because she hadn't forgotten that, no, she was just getting used this new form she had taken - before instinctively starting to flap her massive brown wings. It was weird to do so, but it felt very innate, and within the next moment, her talons left the ground, and the sweeping motion of her wings propelled her upward. It was... a little scary, honestly, because if she STOPPED putting forth the energy to flap her wings, she was going to plummet right back down... but the instinct to keep going was so... natural. It almost didn't require much effort at all - her eagle instincts were just so sharply tuned and there she was, keeping herself up in the air without much thought at all.
It was wicked, honestly.
Then, without further warning - because how could she REALLY signal to Zander that they should go? - eagle!Soph continued to flap her wings and propel herself forward now with big, swooping strokes, headed for the tree in the distance.

BYE, LION!NERD.
It was weiiiiird. He knew Sophie was the one looking at him, but those eyes were just so different. They were beady and almost even menacing... Whereas Sophie's usual eyes were warm, curious, and friendly. He kind of didn't like how her eagle!eyes were so small and focused. It was a little bit off-putting. He attempted to again, get her off his paws.
But this time she actually did hop away... And woah. That was some massive wing span. Kind of made Zander wish he had chosen an animal that could get him in the air. Not like he was good enough with a broom to ever go flying for himself... So instead of walking around to get used to his knew body, he watched Sophie's in slight envy. He waited for her to take flight, watching her propel off the ground and into the air. Woah. That was WICKED COOL!!!
........ Where was she-- OI! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!!
Sophie was racing to the tree??? But they hadn't even signaled and RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Feeling totally cheated HMPH SOPHIE BROWN, Zander started off in a RUN towards the tree. At first very uneasy with the way he had to move. He started with a giant leap, letting his hind legs catch up to the front, before leaping again. Is this really how lions did things? Almost like a jump, meet in the middle, jump, meet in the middle. The algorithm wasn't easy to get used to and he was struggling quite a bit at first... Ahem. Quite possibly accidentally managing to tumble forward because of an accidental wrong leap with his hind legs instead of the front ones....
And he may have unintentionally ended up in a giant lion puddle in the grass. Ahem. But his cat-like reflexes kicked it and he was able to quickly (ish) recover and manage to get back on all fours again. Merlin. And you'd think being on four limbs would help him keep his balance.

Sophie Brown was FLYYYYYING LIKE AN EAGLE. BECAUSE SHE WAS ONE. She BELIEVED SHE COULD FLY and was soaring higher and higher in the sky - it was hard to NOT keep climbing in altitude because the SKY WAS THE LIMIT. She could just keep going and going higher and higher, so she DID, veering herself sideways one way, then the other, making a wonky flight pattern in the air to any onlookers, but this was SOOOO COOL. WAY better than flying on a broomstick, that was for sure. She had WINGS and was SOARING, FLYING. There wasn't a star in heaven that she couldn't reach if she was trying, so she was breaking free.
The smell of the fresh air through her beak was... actually not as strong as she thought it would be, and for the first time she realized she couldn't really smell very well at all. Maybe... maybe the smelling sense of an eagle wasn't as keen as the sight or hearing? Both of those were really strong, so maybe her ability to smell was hindered in lieu of enhancing the other two senses. That was cool enough.
...But the keen ears made her HEAR a commotion down below, more than just the lion's paws making thumping noises as Zandelion ran - and she saw the end of his spill on the ground, just in time to see him recover and keep running.
What a nerd, even when he was a lion. Merlin.
Way too amused with his antics and with no way to show it - she couldn't laugh at him, she couldn't shout down to him - Soph ended up dive-bombing the lion below. The race didn't even matter now - they were both keeping up pretty well with each other anyway, really - and she let herself fall into a dive, her wings spread outward fully as she made her zooming descent--
And she adjusted her wings to slow herself down right before she got to him, then landed right on Zandelion's back. Hi, lion boyfriend. Hi.

Y'know that embarrassing fall was easier to play off whilst in lion form. He could blame it on the fact that he isn't used to this body yet. Whereas human Zander would've had no excuse. And also human!Zander would've been blushing madly, whilst Zandelion had no way of showing his embarrassment. Man, did it feel great to be king.
But really though, he sure hoped that Sopheagle didn't see that. Talk about the shame. Maybe not now, but once he was back on his feet again... He was sure to feel embarrassed about it then. Ahem. But when he went to check to see if Sophie had noticed, she wasn't where she last was anymore??? Actually, Zander didn't see her anywhere??? Merlin. He took his eyes off of her for one second and next thing he knew, she already managed to disa--
On his back. Of course. He expected nothing less from Sophie Brown. At first he attempted to shake her off, though a second later he realized he really had no reason to. This meant he could easily win the race, right? Because if he was doing all the work, it would only be fair. Not that Sophie was really in it for the race anymore, or at least it didn't seem like it. Unless this was all a trap, which he wouldn't put past her in all honesty. What a Ravenclaw, right? LITERALLY. Ha ha ha. ahem.
So instead of continuing to run straight towards the tree in the distance, Zander began running zig-zags and fun patters, speeding up and slowing down, and he was properly enjoying himself. Was Soph?

What Maggie DIDN'T like was this awkwardness with Hady. Shuffling a little closer to him for warmth she listened to him recounting their conversation. Oh no. This didn't sound good. But it seemed like at least the other girl hadn't brought up what she'd told her to bring up. Which was something at least. That would've been bad timing considering what Zeke had told her just a few moments ago. "Right." Pause. "Sorry." Why did she keep apologizing? Only it had kind of been her fault and that had NOT been her intention at all. The opposite really. At least that's what she'd thought. Now she wasn't so sure anymore.
Taking a step back she only now realized what he was doing. Oh. That was....nice. "Thank you." Maggie put it on on top of her own, then ran her fingers through her hair to make sure they weren't tangled up in weird places now. Putting on sweaters did that to hair sometimes. It was annoying. "Okay, let's go." Because now HE probably would get cold soon. Maggie took his arm and then started walking back up to the castle.
It would take a lot longer than it had taken them to come down here.
It wasn't ideal, the awkwardness that had happened. It WAS very weird, because he never expected anything like that to transpire between himself and Hady. Hanging out with her was as easy as hanging out with his sisters, and so it was strange to think anything could intrude on that kind of relationship. Zeke shrugged. Maggie didn't need to apologise, though she was very welcome to huddle closer, he didn't have a problem with that. "It's not your fault, and it's fine... so... no sweat." They got over it once, so if it happened again (though he hoped it wouldn't) then it wouldn't be the end of the world.
With his sweater off, the air definitely felt crisper. But it wasn't too bad, he'd felt worse before. "You're welcome," he retuned as she accepted it without question. Even as she fixed her hair (as perfect as it was, anyway) he continued to watch her, a small smile lifting the corners of his lips. It was funny how she put so much care into her appearance, it wasn't needed, but it was... appreciated? He appreciated her looks. She was fit. And he didn't need to be told twice to follow along, especially with her on his arm, coaxing him along.
... "You feeling hungry?"
...
He could go for something edible, whether it was his stint as a wolf or something else, he'd developed a modest appetite.
A pre-date date? Was that a thing? Because he might just have to make it so, with Hogsmeade not for a while yet.

In Maggie's universe everything revolved around her.
So, of course also Hady and Zeke's discussion did. Even though she assumed it hadn't all ABOUT her, it had mostly been BECAUSE of her. Naturally. So when he said it wasn't her fault Maggie gave him a somewhat sheepish look. "It kinda is." She ran her teeth over her lower lip - not too hard because hey they were nice lips - and looked up at him. Eh. Yeah. She HAD told Hady to talk to him.
Maggie did notice him watching her but she was so used to people looking at her that she didn't really think much of it. She did grin back at him once she was done fixing her hair however, ready to get going. Up to the castle. Maybe curl up by the fireplace or something. This whole dog-human transformation had messed with her sense of feeling heat. Or cold in this case.
Hungry though?
She raised her eyebrows, giving him a curious look. There weren't a lot of places TO go since they were stuck in the castle so she did wonder what he meant by that. Maggie wasn't particularly hungry but decided to go along with it anyway. "Okay. What do you wanna do?" Would there be anything but fruit and snacks in the great hall? Did he want to go down to the kitchens?

It kinda was?
...
Uh, was this a trap? Zeke didn't reply straight away, instead he considered Maggie with a look of his own. Why was she so keen to accept the blame? It wasn't a bad thing, he supposed, unless it bit him in the butt, though he was good enough at reaching that outcome himself. "Okay, fine then, it's all your fault, Maggie Traulton. You made it awkward." Was she happy now? He WAS teasing, so even if this was a trap, he was safe, right?
Girls.
It was strange to think not so long ago he had raced out here with a dog on his back, not knowing that it had been Maggie he was whisking away. Could he legitimately claim that he'd swept her off her feet? Because he might try to.
Contentedly keeping pace with Maggie, he couldn't help but grin at her expression. Was it so difficult to imagine getting food at this hour? And then he got an OKAY. Okay, as in, he just scored himself a pre-date. Did he somehow consume some Felix Felicis with his Mutatio Animalia? Maybe he shouldn't question this. "Well, we could grab something from the kitchens, but the castle is our oyster. Indoor picnic?" Picnic's were nice, weren't they? Or would she prefer to eat in the Great Hall?

Now hang on a second, it wasn't ALL her fault.
Maggie opened her mouth, ready to disagree with him. Only she couldn't really deny that she HAD made things awkward between the two of them. So in the end she just shrugged. "Told you." Everything was about her always. "But I'm glad you're fine again. You two make a good....team." Team, yes that.
Oh so he did intend to get something from the kitchen, right. So they would-
WHOA, no, wait a minute there!
She gave him a look that was meant to be scolding but ended up being somewhat amused. "An indoor picnic?" Maggie shook her head a little. Like, that sounded a lot different than just grabbing a bite to eat in the great hall. "Are you trying to get a second date?" She eyed him curiously. And she'd ALMOST fallen into his trap.

Sneaky little Gryffindor.
The tell-tale signs of a retort were there. The speed as which she opened her mouth the speak was what tipped it off, but he was pleasantly surprised when she simply accepted his statement. Of course, he didn't consider it a 'win' as it was essentially an 'I told you so'... but it was something in his favour. He smirked. "We made a pretty good team too, if I recall Transfiguration correctly." He flashed a toothy grin this time, because the memory of splashing her with water was too amusing. Excellent team they were, and it was high time that she realised that.
But then, he was caught out?
He braced himself for a smack, but it didn't come, instead she appeared almost amused. A picnic. Yes, that is what he said. Zeke nodded.
The way he saw it, he had three options here.
1. Outright deny it. Not a date attempt.
2. Make the argument that it could be said that where there were two people (usually of the opposite gender) eating food together, that it was a date regardless of setting.
OR...
3. He could try win her over with the idea. He was pretty clever, wasn't he?
"Can you blame a guy for trying?" he asked, opting for option number 3.

Transfiguration.
He brought up that transfiguration class again. Maggie gave him a VERY UNIMPRESSED look at that. "We did NOT make a good team." She shook her head, remembering the fact that her HAIR HAD BEEN WET after all of it. Like. No, that was NOT a good thing to bring up. But then again, there was the use of past tense so maybe things had changed.
Maybe they DID make a good team now.
Yes, she'd found out his little plan and was now somewhat curious if he was trying to deny it. Because something told her that Zeke was well aware of what he'd been doing. Still, she somewhat expected him to deny it anyway.
Only he didn't.
Blame him? No. Definitely not. Maggie took it as a compliment really. Which was why she stopped quite suddenly and turned to face him. "No. I think it was a really nice try." She smirked slightly, still amused by the fact that he'd almost managed to trick her into this. "Well done." And with that she stepped closer and kissed him. Not too long, she didn't want to get in trouble again. But long enough.
Reward for his efforts.
Afterwards she simply took his arm again and continued walking. Right, so where were they....
Dante was here to do a favorite pastime of his. Though he cant really have pastimes since he is only fourteen. But whatever. He was here to people watch and that is exactly what he planned on doing. Because you can tell a lot about people from observing them. Like when they were bored and wanted to leave or if they were up to something stupid and get hit by the Whomping Willow. He was also hoping to find random fireworks on the grounds somewhere because he had a planned that involved fireworks and a swing.
The odds were not good for that. But he would keep an eye out.
For now he was focused on the present and hoping anybody would try getting close to the Willow.
Come On, Dante wanted a show.
Noel was not going to be the idiot who went near the Willow. He was, however, really bored and his bestfriends were busy with their significant others and his girlfriend was busy studying for OWLs. So um.
Bored.
Making his way out on the grounds, Noel looked at the Willow - eh, it stopped being entertaining for him after the first year. Okay so, what to do? It was just such an uneventful day - uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhh.
Sitting down a little away from a loner ... who was apparently just looking at everyone and everything, Noel voiced his distress: "We desperately need some kind of entertainment around here"

Dante was not even getting any enjoyment from watching because nobody would even get close. This was depressing since it was the only reason he came down here.
So it was official, he was bored and apparently looked like a loner. Not that he cared. What was someone talking to him. He though he gave off the vibe of ignore him or something bad will happen.
Guess not.
"You are not wrong. All i wanted to see was someone get whacked by the willow. Was that too much to ask for?"
Maybe it was. But Dante did not think so.

Afterwards she simply took his arm again and continued walking. Right, so where were they....
He couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction. She was cute when she was worked up. It was easy enough for him to dismiss the look of disapproval, it was something he'd had practice with by this stage. "I beg to differ, I think we were, and are, a great team." And while he could have challenged her to prove him wrong, it seemed it would be counter-productive to what he was trying to achieve, so he didn't go there.
Zeke was waiting to hear her verdict. Would she pre-date date with him? Just accept his genius idea? He was itching to know. A sign that a response to be had came when Maggie stopped abruptly, and he too stopped... because she had his arm, and had no desire to part it from her.
Of course it was a nice try, he was great at trying, and----
Lips.
Her lips.
Zeke kissed them back gently, though it didn't last nearly as long as he hoped it might. But yes, well done to him indeed.
Even as Maggie resumed her position on his arm and got them into motion, he couldn't wipe the smug smile from his lips. Best day ever. But he still had questions, starting with, "So was that a yes?" Picnic? No picnic? Food? No food? He was flexible at this stage, because he'd gotten more than what he bargained for, he had no reason to complain.

No, they were NOT!
Maggie narrowed her eyes at him, especially when he started laughing at her. Not funny, gosh. She wasn't going to give in now. On principle. No way was she going to admit that he might be right now. Nope. "I'll bite you again, I swear." Like how she'd bit his tail when in dog form, you know.
She wasn't even kidding.
After she'd pulled back and resumed walking, Maggie somewhat regretted kissing him. Not because it hadn't been nice. More like because it had been TOO nice and now she wanted to do it again. Ugh. Why was Hogsmeade weekend so far away? She clearly hadn't quite thought this through. Running her teeth over her lower lip softly, she tried to make them stop tingling. Okay no but she really shouldn't have done that. They'd been fine before. No. She was totally in control here so never mind. She got this.
Oh wow. He didn't give up huh? "No." Maggie smirked at him, somewhat glad to officially be in charge again. Like. It all depended on what SHE wanted after all. "We can go get something to eat but we'll have to eat it somewhere....not date-like." Yes that. Like a casual eating together kind of thing.

Aaaawwww... this was no fun, Maggie was being far too serious about it all. The look was enough to tell him this, but her threat worked just as effectively. He needed to stop, or he might regret it. The smile on his lips was quickly replaced with a neutral expression, and with all the seriousness that he was able to muster up, he had one thing he had to say. "Ladies don't bite, Maggie." The teeth on his tail were not forgotten, and he wondered if there was a mark on his butt as a mark of his ordeal. Probably not.
But since they were walking, there were only two things for him to do. Firstly, contemplate the whole date and kiss thing, and secondly, keep his mouth shut regarding the transfiguration thing. Between compartmentalising the thoughts in his head into good and not-so-good, he couldn't help but steal looks at Maggie as they walked.
An answer to his question would be appreciated, and while any answer would do, he did have a preference. As it was, he received a no. Was that a no to a second date? or to food? For a second all hope was lost, but then it was restored. "Wherever you want to go then," he decided, because there was little point in arguing against it, and let's face it, he didn't much mind following her around like the puppy she had been not so long ago.

Ladies don't bite.
Maggie giggled at that, finding it funny for some reason. No. They probably didn't. Her mom would kill her if she knew she'd just said that. And done it too. Not just in dog form but she'd also bit Dante's arm. Yeah. Better not tell her about all that then. Like Zeke had said: ladies don't bite. "I'll TRY to keep my teeth to myself then." She gave him a small smirk and his arm a squeeze. Just kidding.
Relax, Zeke. She didn't like all that seriousness.
She still wasn't exactly hungry. Her thoughts still circled around rules and how things were supposed to be done, however. Like, for instance she shouldn't have kissed him before their date. That was a no no. There were rules about that. And she'd broken one of them. Only now that she'd already broken it, did it matter really? They could just say today was an exception to the rule.
Her thought process was interrupted again by Zeke giving her the reins regarding their food-plans. Eh. Okay. Focus. Maggie looked up at him, considering their options. "We could just go to the kitchens. And, like, stay there?" Sound good? Her eyes were still on him while she waited for him to agree. Or disagree. Although he better not do the latter.

Maybe it was. But Dante did not think so.
Noel gave him a look. "Yeah, I think so" Sadistic loner then? It was funny how after six years he still met people like the 'sadistic loner' around Hogwarts and still got so surprised.
"Maybe we can figure out another way to entertain ourselves?" he said, giving a look around the place. "I am Noel, by the way" he added as an after thought.
...
"Maybe we can prank someone?" he mused. Oh yes. Not a sadistic type of prank, by the way.

Merlin, the frankness of that answer drew a laugh from Dante. It was probably true, anyway. He was bored and thought seeing someone get whacked by the tree would amuse him.
"Well if you have any ideas. I'm all ears. Since i'm just here because i'm bored." Dante said shrugging. A prank? Well Dante had not thought of those in years. It did sound like fun.
"A harmless prank does sound awesome. Though now the question on who and I'm Dante"
Noel and Dante ready to prank someone because one was bored and maybe the other was too.

Davie couldn't believe he hadn't been down to talk to the Whomping Willow yet. All bundled up with his notebook and quill, HIS QUILL, the dark-haired Ravenclaw trundled down to the tree. Davie was thinking that perhaps the tree would be kinder in the wintertime, when fewer people and birds and such weren't around to bother it. And of course he had brought some chocolates to offer as a gift to the tree.
Sitting down on a bench not too far away from the tree, Davie set about unwrapping the chocolates first.

After a while of trying the Fungifors spell, Hugo decided that it was time to check on the Whomping Willow. Cool tree except he didn't wanted to get punch by it. He remembered once talking to a girl who knew something about a knot that if you touched it it could stop the tree from moving. Never got the chance to prove that theory and today wasn't that day, he wanted to keep living.
Now, what else could he turn into a mushroom, goblet or matchbox? There was only grass around and some flowers. Oh and a piece of wood not a big one but enough to use it for his task. He was going to turn it into a matchbox because it matches. Get it. Alright, Flintifors. All the spells sounded the same except for Piertotum Locomotor and Vera Verto. With his wand out and pointing it at the piece of wood he flicked upwards and said "Flintifors!" the piece of wood shook. That was a good sign, wasn't it? Second round. Upward flick and "Flintifors!" this time it started to take a square shape and looking a bit small but it was still wood. Again, "Flintifors!" that was it. There on the ground was a small matchbox, Hugo took it up and examined it "Nice". It was awesome when the spells worked but he had to get more practice if he wanted to get them right on the first try.
Enough of the outside, it was time to get into the castle and find something else to turn into a goblet or quill or mushroom.
