Because he is a Hufflepuff? "Is that your only reason? " She loved Candice but being Pufftastic just didn't seem like a good enough reason, especially considering that was against her boyfriend.

" My family is ancient school when it comes to that. She already has a list of suitors......" And Ilia knew that she wanted nothing to do with any of them. She had no intention of adhering to her mother's wishes.

"I stayed last year as well. I am intending to stay this year too and hopefully Henric will as well. If not, just you and I can have a good time. " They always had a good time together. If only she and Henric would get along......

Mel just smirked a bit, “its why you have to be really good at healing potions” she nodded, “oh and well have a keep eye and a strong arm to knock the bludger around a bit” she admitted with a laugh. “Honestly I probably wont do that…I mean look at me I’ve got the stature of a horse riding jockey?” She laughed and looked down at her feet for a bit. She was going to grow though. Maybe.

“yeah but isn’t that the fun of bludgers?” She asked grinning, “knocking an iron ball around? Imagine how strong they all must be?” she loved that aspect of it. “I guess it’s the strength that I like not anything else really,” she shrugged and chewed her lip as she sat there. “Really? Cairns is pretty cool” she a grinned, “its great I love it there,” when he brought up escaping she just scrunched her nose in thought.

“We could always blast a wall down in the dungeons…” she shrugged, “bubblehead charms first though” she added almost as a second thought, “flood the school and swim out but we’d have to make sure we didn’t peeve off any of the lake creatures” she mentioned and shrugged….”actually I’ve got a better idea, go through the pass to the shreaking shack and then take the knight bus from hogsmeade” she grinned.

There.

Master of plans.

“Uh…there were notes and posters hidden ‘bout the school” she admitted and grinned. “Of course I have extra” she admitted and reached into her bag and simply held out a box to him “I’ve got boxes with a few ears, a few decoy detonators…and well other things as well I’m planning on making my own gag-things” she admitted with a grin. “These are on the house as you could say” she mentioned as she handed him the box. “I need people to know I’ve got a shop going after all” she grinned.

Henric strolled down to the playground and sat on one of the swing sets. He wondered if Rachel saw his note which he left for her in her bag during COMC class. He used the soles of his feet to casually swing back and forth as he waits patiently. While he waited, he couldn't help sighing out a loud breath through his nose. He wondered if things were going well for Rachel so far.

Henric had been meaning to talk to her privately for some time now. He admitted, he felt a little guilty that he didn't spend as much time as he could have with his juniors. Mainly due to him preoccupied with other pressing matters at the moment. To top it all off, he was also studying for his final exams too.

Hmm...it was getting a little lonely here. He turned his wrist to check his watch. Would she be coming soon?

Hmm...it was getting a little lonely here. He turned his wrist to check his watch. Would she be coming soon?

As she was returning her books to her bag after CoMC at the Lake, Rachel had noticed the note. Henric wanted to meet her? She couldn't think of a reason why he would slip the note into her bag and not tell her when they had been face to face. Oh no! Had she done something wrong? She couldn't help but worry a little.

The Eagle sped off for the Playground the moment the class had ended. She arrived there and scanned the place for her friend. She saw him sitting on one of the swings so she adjusted her bright pink book bag on her back which had a picture of Pocahontas and John to go over to him. Rachel smoothed her uniform beneath before sitting on the swing beside. "Hello, Henric. How are you?'' Lovely! Her voice was even and steady and did not give away the nerves badgering her.

Henric glanced up when he heard her voice. He smiled back at her,"Hey Rach, glad you found my note. I have to say you have a really cool bag." He chuckled. He knew those characters from anywhere,"You want to be Pocahonters one day, Rach?"he asked, grinning. He brushed his hair back,"I'm doing well, what about you, Rach? Everything's going great so far? How's school treating you? Congrats for winning player of the match, you were brilliant in there! I can't wait for your next match, Rach." Henric had joined his house Gobstones team recently as well and had played against her team during the match. He wished he was half as good as her, he was still new to the game. He preferred video games.

He paused from swinging,"Sorry...I didn't ask you personally to meet me...you were preoccupied with your friend?"he asked. He wasn't sure Haddie was her friend or not. They seemed really close in COMC but weren't they fighting before during DADA class.

Rachel giggled as she began to gently swing to and fro, the breeze ruffling her hair slightly. "I want to be any princess, Henric. Though my daddy says I already am one. Will you be prince Charming?'' All princesses had a prince but in reality, finding one was far from her mind right now though she still had a crush on David. She smiled at all the question, waiting until Henric had done speaking before replying. "It's been lovely so far. I love it here but I do miss home.'' It was the only drawback of the entire experience. "Thank you. I'm only a quarter good as some of others. I wish Hufflepuff had won their matches.'' The House was her second favourite. "How are you and prefect duties? I hope they're not stressing you out.''

The Eagle shook her head. "We were going back to our common room but we had nothing planned.'' She turned to look better at Henric. "Is something wrong?'' The real reason for her trip here to the playground was coming back to her. But then again, it was possible Henric just wanted to spend some time with her. Haddie was right. She worried a lot.

Henric chuckled at her reply."Once again, your dad's right. You are a princess, Rachie. You don't need a crown or a prince charming to prove that you're one. You just have to believe that you deserve to be treated like a princess and one day your real prince charming will find you. What matters is your heart is kind and pure, that is to me...is a princess in her own right." Yup totally quoting Disney right now. "But of course, I'll be your prince charming whenever you need me be,"he added with a playful grin. Henric listened to her with silent attention until she ceased to speak. He agreed with her, "Yes I understand the feeling of being homesick. I'm sure your parents miss you as well. Keep owling them whenever you have the time, Rach. They want to hear from you too." Henric told her. "I don't think Hufflepuff will win again this year. Ever since Adi, the Hufflepuff prefect before me left, we kind of lost our MVP for the team. But that's alright, winning isn't everything."

He felt slightly bad."I'll try not to let prefect duties get in the way but...yeah, its manageable so far, thanks for worrying about me squirt, its all good,"he nudged her lightly on the side of her arm. Then, Henric paused and glanced away,"Well...the real reason I asked you out here is because...your friend...Haddie, she's in our prefect watchlist since the beginning of the term...and that incident earlier during COMC class...got me thinking...you know. Of course, she's not the only one. I'm not pointing fingers, Rach. I just don't want to see you get yourself in trouble for what others did. I know for first hand experience, detention isn't somewhere you want to be." He was being honest with her, he felt horrible when he learnt that he had disappointed a lot of his professors last term.

Rachel kept her gaze fixed on that face she adored. Goodness! Henric was so knowledgeable and wise. "You're absoloutely brilliant,'' she said, smiling. She loved interacting with persons like him. One rarely had time for silly small talk, after all. She giggled. "I hope Ilia won't mind.'' She was growing less resentful of the Snake. "I will. Sometimes I have to remember not to owl them too often because they're usually busy. But daddy says I should never feel that they don't have any time for me. Do you owl your parents regularly?'' The girl was sorry to hear that this Adi had left. Poor Hufflepuff. "Hufflepuff needs someone new to step up and take his place. You and Carl seem likely candidates.''

Rachel giggled again. Henric had all sort of nicknames for her. Her favourite was 'munchkin'. She nudged him back. "It's in my nature to worry. Haddie says I do this a lot.'' Oh. Haddie was the reason Henric wanted to talk to her. The prefects had their eyes on her? Rachel should have known. "I suppose the Professors have too,'' she said looking away but continuing to swing gently. She could feel the heat rising to her face and knew she had turned pink in the cheeks. "I- I did try to stop her in CoMC, Henric, I really did. But when Ilia caught her, I just had to stick up for her because I didn't want her getting into anymore trouble.'' She looked back at Henric. "It's alright. I know you're only looking our for me.'' She couldn't have been anymore grateful.

Henric chuckled. "Rach, it would mean a world to me if you girls can get along. llia, she's headstrong but she's really understanding once you get to know her,"he said, smiling. He nodded at Rach's question about him owling his parents often. "I do...I owled them every week to tell them how I'm doing in school and that I am well." Henric showed a little frown,"Don't feel like that,Rach, I did the same too when I was in your year. I remembered owling them each time how excited I was learning about magic in Hogwarts and everything that is to know about our world.They're muggles...you see, sworn to secrecy. I'm sure they'll be happy just to hear from you."

He shook his head when Rachel thought he could replace Adi,"Narh...I'm far more better playing muggle video games than gobstones honestly, but I believe Carl would make a great gobstones player, you both are!" No doubt about it.

He nodded understandingly. "There's nothing wrong about sticking up for your friend, Rachel...but it also takes a great deal of courage to tell her when you know is wrong. I know...sometimes its hard because you want to feel accepted too...trust me, I've been through that phase. You have the right to feel what you feel, don't let others take advantage of that...let them know their behaviour is hurting you...and others around you.If she really is your true friend, she take your words into consideration and not trampled on your beliefs, making you feel worst about yourself. Do you understand what I'm trying to say Rach...?" Henric was truly looking out for her, he didn't want her to go through the same mistakes he'd been through.

"She does seem nice,'' Rachel admitted. "She gave me some encouraging words for when I'm doing my spell work and I keep them in my mind all the time.'' She was very grateful to Ilia for this. Henric's parents are muggles? She hadn't known. "Did your parents get excited when they found out you were a wizard?'' The girl smiled. "I will certainly keep owling them then.''

She giggled. "That sounds like fun. I bet you're the King of video games.'' Rachel was touched that Henric thought she was a great Gobstones player. "Thank you. I simply tried my best and it did help that I was exposed to it at Primary Wizarding school.''

The firstie listened until Henric was finished speaking to speak up. "I know. I rebuke her so many times about certain of her behaviours that I feel that sometimes I'm not her friend. Friends are supposed to stick to each other, after all.'' It had nothing to do with being accepted. Rachel never had any problems with being accepted anywhere. She frowned a tad at Henric as she considered his words. She hadn't thought of that before. "You're right... she should consider my words sometimes. But Haddie is stubborn and she usually does what she wants. Do you think it's just a phase and she'll grow to be more mature?'' The girl smiled. "I do. I must let you know that I'll promise to stay true to what I believe. Thank you for the encouragement.'' Wasn't Henric simply a darling? No wonder she adored him.

Henric smiled. "Oh, she did? There you go, I told you she's alright! Y'know what, I suggest we should hang out and maybe practice some spells together. I think it'll be fun, you might even learn some advanced magic from us. What do you say?" he offered. Henric nodded,"Well...excited wasn't exactly the word to describe it, they were definitely surprised at first." He had yet to tell her that he was adopted but he should reserve that story for another time.

"Me? King of video games?"he chuckled and continued,"...well...I did beat a lot of high scores." He couldn't deny how brilliant he was at first-person zombie shooting game."I wish I went to primary wizarding school instead...I think its great. At least...there were students who are just like us, right?"he smiled.

Henric wasn't close to Haddie to know for sure...but he wouldn't rule out the possibility. "Maybe...people can change as time goes..." He nodded,"You don't have to promise me anything, princess...I know you're going to stay true to yourself no matter what, you're an extraordinary girl...did you know?"he grinned, teasing her a little.

Rachel's face positively glowed at Henric's suggestion. "I would love that! It would be quite handy because I am always trying to learn new spells for the dueling club.'' Mostly, she had been unsuccessful on her own. "I think if I have you and Ilia teaching me, I'll have better luck than learning on my own.'' Henric and Ilia were very talented from what she had observed. "Yes, she is alright. I think we just got off on the wrong foot which is quite a pity.''

She giggled. "There you go. You are the King of Video games, Henric.'' She looked at him with adoration still. "It was a lot of fun and I wished you could have gone too but do you mind me asking, why didn't you go?'' She smiled back. "Yes, they are. There is a course there that teaches us to control our magic, they teach us Gobstones and flying, mathematics and lots of others.''

Rachel was pleased that Henric understood that persons change. "They see reasons or consequences of their actions, I reason, and that's what makes them change. Are all of the prefects keeping an eye on her? I won't be surprised if Professors were too.'' This is why Rachel needed to continue being a good best friend and try to keep her out of trouble. She giggled yet again. "I did not know that, Prince Henric. I'm just an ordinary girl.'' She was reminded instantly of the song 'Ordinary Girl' from the Hannah Montana series.

It was a nice day outside, so Esme had decided to get some fresh air and maybe spend some time on the playground. Who cared if she was now 14, one was never too old to have some fun. Maybe some of her friends would come around and they could hang out together but if not she was more than content in keeping herself company.

Juno was still too scared to spend time away from the protection of Hogwarts walls and it made Esme sad to see her sister this way. Soon enough they would be home and the danger would pass. There was no way that she would ever let anything happen to her; she'd do anything for Juno.

Sighing, she made her way over to the swing set and took a seat. There was a lot on her mind and she needed to unwind.

Like most of the other students, Kitty could be found outside on this pleasant day. It was a stereotype that Goths didn't like the sun, Kitty loved sunny days just like she loved rainy days. Today she was snapping pictures of the muddy grounds and of the lake nearby to add to her seasonal album of the Hogwarts grounds. Then she went over to the playground and began examining her pictures on top of the slide.


It was then that she caught sight of her Hufflepuff friend Esme approach the swing and began swinging. Standing up, Kitty "Hi Esme! Did you see me up here?" Smiling, she sled down the slide and went to sit on a swing next to Esme.

Lost in her own world, it took Esme a second to realize that she was being talked to. Looking over towards the slide, she was pleased to see that it was her good friend, Kitty. "Hey! Sorry, I have been busy with my own thoughts," she said with a sigh as the Ravenclaw joined her at the swings.

"I'm really glad to see you," As she spoke, she swung higher and higher though she didn't let herself get too far into the sky. She wanted to relax though of course she was failing at that so far because it was impossible to get her mind off of the fact that her sister was too scared to do anything because of that stupid Hag.

"I've missed you," said Kitty, and she snapped a picture of Esme while she was swinging. Then she put aside her camera and joined her in swinging and higher. "I'm putting together a album of all the picture I took at Hogwarts this year. There are pictures of all my friends, Hogwarts locations, and all the teachers. Well, ALMOST all the teachers," Kitty corrected herself grimly. "I don't have the Hag, but who would want to look at her anyway?"

Esme seemed troubled about something. "What were you thinking about?"

"I missed you too," Esme told her friend as her picture was taken. Fortunately she wasn't the type who shied away from cameras because a lot of people seemed to have issues with them. She supposed that Kitty was interested in photography; a fact that was confirmed for her seconds later. "Wow, that's really neat. Is there anywhere else that you need a picture of?" Hogwarts was full of interesting places.

Of course the Hag had to be mentioned. Fitting when she had been on Esme's mind... "Her, actually." Well, in a sense. Mostly what she had done to Juno but she wasn't sure she wanted to get into how freaked out her sister was; Juno wouldn't really appreciate it.

"I think I have a picture of every location at Hogwarts that I know of," replied Kitty as she swung higher, trying to think if there was anything she missed. Then it came to her. "Actually, I don't have pictures of three of the common rooms, since I'm not allowed to go in them." Then an idea came to her. "Hey Esme, YOU could take a picture with my camera for me of your common room. That's not against school rules or anything. And I could ask Mason to take one of the Slytherin common room..." Her voice trailed off as she realized that she wasn't close to any Gryffindor student. Then she remembered her dueling partner for the most recent duel, whose name she had forgotten but who had been very friendly.

What a coincidence that Esme had been just thinking of the Hag. "I was thinking about her too," replied Kitty, continuing to swing as she talked. "I have nightmares about her coming back to cook us, and dragging me out of my bed by my feet. Ugh!" She shuddered. "I hope they catch her and send her to Azkaban!"

Scarlett couldn't get enough of this fresh air! It was just so FREEING being out and about like this. Plus she was giving her pretty pink sparkley Converse plenty of exercise, which was exactly what she'd bought them for, of course. Now that she could do magic, keeping her shoes clean was easier than ever so why NOT wear them all the time?!

Humming happily to herself, she approached the playground and decided HERE was a pretty good place to relax. She sat down and opened her bag, and out crawled Snowball, her Persian cat. Snowball was a lot more cooperative after he survived that one potions lesson as her personal guinea pig - it was like he trusted her or something. Which was a weird change. But good!

Seemed that Kitty HAD been up to a lot with her photography; Esme was rather impressed by it.

Taking a picture of the Hufflepuff common room sounded like a simple favor to do for her friend and it was something that she would gladly have done even if it proved to be difficult. "Sure thing!" Cameras were easy to use and she had experience using muggle and wizarding ones. "Hady taught me the spell to make the images move," she said proudly. It was pretty fun to use though she had been spending more time on the Patronus Charm for obvious reasons. She WOULD master that spell one day.

Kitty's nightmare caused Esme to frown. "We wouldn't let anything like that happen." Even though it had only been a dream reassurance was always a good thing. "I hope they catch her too. I still don't know why she was allowed to teach here in the first place!" Then again a werewolf had been hired way back in Harry Potter's day so maybe Hogwarts had really strange staffing policies and let people who were a threat to students teach.

"Thanks Esme," said Kitty with an appreciative smile to her friend. "You can take my camera when we go back to our common rooms. Take pictures of everything cool." And Esme would have fun doing it, right?

"Also, I wonder why she tried to cook us all at once instead of luring us down to the tent one at a time. Seems like it could have been easier to do it that way." Ugh! "I guess Hags aren't really that smart, luckily for us."

"Ooh that reminded me!" Kitty's eyes brightened and she slowed down with her swinging. "Hey Esme, remember how Mason and I were trying to solve the mystery of the Tapestry? Well Professor Ansley knew a lot about it, and he told me loads. Do you want to hear?"

It was the end of term.

Man did it go by quickly. I mean he didn't really care about going to classes this term. I think the summer weather was getting the best of him. He thought why not go out and play on the playground. Sure it was for kids but he needed some exercise. As he made his way to the place, he noticed it wasn't too crowded.

Perrrffecttttt.

He smirked and wanted to have the monkey bars all the himself. He ran over and began to climb the monkey bars. I mean no one was gonna yell at him. If they did he would hex them. Simple as that.

Azura was out getting air, now that term was ending she actually didn't know what to do with herself lately! What was a Ravenclaw with no studying to do! So she actually had a book in her hand.. But it wasn't a school book! It was s book on composing music! She was going to try and write a few songs over the summer! Maybe she could play one for Jace? Help make him feel better?

She moved over to the playground and was heading for the swings when she noticed a familiar face.. One she hadn't seen in awhile!

"Colt!" She said with a warm smile as she moved over to where he was on the monkey bars!

"Hi! I thought you had transferred or something!" she said with a warm smile.. Or taken Jaspers route and ignored her..

*sighs*

As Colt was hanging upside down from the monkey bars, he saw a little figure coming into his vision. He lifted himself up and saw it was Azura. "Oh hey Azura..." He saw she didn't climb onto the monkey bars. Good thing because she needed to ask permission before going into his personal space. He chuckled and shook his head. "Naww I didn't transfer. I have just been lazy to be honest." He decided to test his upper muscle strength and began to swing on the monkey bars. Yup still intact.

"What have you been doing? Being a goody two shoes and going to classes?" He smirked because obviously that was the right thing to do. I mean he should be concerned about his education but no one has got time for that.

"No problem! It's what friends are for." Really she was more than happy to help her friend out with her little project and it DID sound like a lot of fun. "I'll take special care of your camera," she promised. Also she would try her best to take good pictures because it wouldn't turn out so well if she took bad shots that were hard to make out.

Raising her brow, Esme continued to swing in the air. That was a good question to raise. She supposed that Hags really WERE That dumb. Good thing for them. "I think so because she was silly enough to give Professor Draper a love potion. He's not one I'd mess with." Not to say that she was SCARED of him or didn't LIKE him...but he wasn't the kind of guy that she'd want to get on the bad side of. Then again she wouldn't want to get into trouble with any professor.

So Professor Handsome had helped them out with the mystery. Esme really wanted to hear about it but she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to meet up with her sister. "Can you tell me another time? I'm really sorry but I just remembered that I have to do something!" They would catch up later, right? "I'll see you really soon!"

Feet back on solid ground she waved goodbye to Kitty before running off, camera in hand.
