Oh. Picking out clothes. Yeah she could do that. She did have a really good sense of style...at least she thought she did. Grinning at the girl's comments, she replied, "AH...now that I can do!" Juno practically jumped towards the girl, sitting next to her on the ledge.

"Oh, girl. I don't need anymore clothes. Trust me. I have a walk in closet full of stuff I never wear." She laughed. "but thanks for the enticing offer. Now what exactly are you looking for?" She looked at the current page the girl was looking at and realized...she hadn't introduced herself.

"Oh, by the way, I'm Juno! I have an identical twin sister named Esme, so if you see someone else looking like me walking around...look at the shoes..." she pointed to her boots, "...I am always wearing some kind of boot. What's your name?" She asked with a grin.

now that was more like it, come on over to the dark side. Seeing the girl jump over to her made her grin. "ohh a walk in, im going to have to see it. Mines more like a bedroom. My family just keeps buying me things" not that she minded of course.

"well im looking for more fall clothes. im so much taller now" which was true she had grown alot and her pants looked like flood pants on her, which was a terrible look. "and i'd also like something to help decorate her dorm" but she knew everyone in her house and this girl wasnt in it. too bad she couldnt see her room. "oh you have a twin sister? and i do like your boots" they were actually quite nice, maybe she would have to get a pair.

"where did you get those boots?" she asked while the girl introduced herself. "Juno, thats an amazing name. mines Echo... like the sound wave thing. my father named me cant you tell" laughing she flipped a page and saw a nice long drapped over the shoulder grey knit sweater. Echo pointed to it "what do you think about that?"

Katerina!
 

Kat was heading out to the tree house. It had been a few days since she had been there. Normally that was where she would be after lessons were over for the day. She'd go up there relax, do her homework, and on the rare occasion fall and stay the night out there. Anyway it had been a few days since she had been there.

She started up to the rope, well it was kind of hard to go up when someone was standing there. Mmmm "Are you going up to the tree house too/" She said not trying to sound rude. She just wanted to get up to the tree house.

Ohh! Whoops! Azura's purple eyes flicked up to the girl standing there and she bit her lip a little. "Yeah, I am, why don't you go up first. " She suggested softly as she took a step back and motioned to the ladder.

She must have been concentrating hard, she hadn't even seen the other girl come up! "Sorry, I really didn't mean to hold you up. " She said as she pushed her dark hair behind her ear. She felt rather bad now, here she was trying to muster courage to get up the ladder and she was holding someone up!

He stood where he was to watch her for a moment, the look of M I S C H I E F growing on her face. Things were never dull with Ilia, that much was certain. "Oh for sure," he agreed, "even when you're beating up on me." Truly though, he enjoyed it. There were few others that had dished it out to him as well as she had. People tended to hold back... but not Ilia.

So when she emphasised her seriousness regarding their dragon plans - or what seemed like HER dragon plans, he was ready to go along for the ride. Figuratively and literally. Obviously. "I believe you, so, what's the plan?" he asked, moving closer to meet her, eyes drawn to the map in her hands. A mammoth circuit for their race?

Kaycee/Amy
 

The treehouse. Another perfect place to take a nap.

Hugo was sure he had the soul of an old man because almost every day he had to take a nap. Why? No one knows. But of course, that was not a problem to him except when exams were coming up.

The Slytherin Prefect climbed the ladder and scanned the room. There was no one. He flopped on a bean bag, took out a bag of sour gummies and a note and small package. It was from Pal. She knew him very well that would always send him some of his favorite food. He had a small storage inside his dorm drawers because midnight snack were important.

Kaycee was busy making sure people were behaving. Such was the life of a Prefect. She took a peek into the treehouse before her eyes landed on Hugo.

She grinned before sneaking over to him.

She nudged him lightly with her foot. "Morning sunshine." she said with a half smirk.

This girl had basically a second bedroom as a closet?? They definitely needed to be friends. "Yeah, I totally need an expansion spell on my closet or something because everything is overflowing and shoved in super tight. I wish I had my parents closet. It's beautiful." She sighed at the thought.

A fall clothes. She loved sweaters and comfy hats and scarves. She could totally get this girl some new trendy clothes. "Well you should definitely invest in some really cool scarves. It is only getting colder." Having to sleep in the dungeons of the castle had to really suck. There was no natural light down there. "I you should see if you could get some charmed windows that make it look like you have some natural light coming in. I am sure it's hard being in the Slytherin dorms. My sister and I are Hufflepuffs, so we have a lot of natural light coming in and it's so nice. And Thanks! I have a collection of boots! It's a slight obsession." She grinned sheepishly.

She looked down at her wedge black suede boots that came up to her knees. They were one of her favorite pairs. "Actually, they are Chanel. My parents got them for me for my birthday." She gave the girl a small smile. Her name was very unique and she loved being named after a Goddess. "Thanks! You have a really great name too! Very unique! My sister's name is Esme." Juno suddenly felt like she was talking about her sister too much. But Esme was her best friend...Juno was kind of a loner otherwise. She looked over the picture of the sweater. It was nice, a bit on the girly side for Juno's taste, but nice. "I like it. It's very fashion forward and you can do a lot with it." She nodded, more to herself than anyone else.

"ohh the expansion spell will most definitely help!!!" when school was over and it would be summer break Echo would have to visit Juno and check it out and help her with her closet. "im super organized, if you could see my closet everything is where it should be! took me a while to do it because im always having to make room but it works!"

"ohh. im going to have to come visit!!!" was it werid that they were getting excited over each others closets?

See this is why she asked for help, she was only looking for sweaters and nice warm pants and hats! she had completely forgotten the scarfs! how could she do such a thing! Flipping a page in her magazine she spotted a few different styles of scarfs. "do you like any of these?" she asked while hearing her about the charmed windows.

"its not what everyone thinks, yeah our common room always has this tint of green from the lake but its fine our dorms always have great lighting." did everyone at school think Slytherins were like mole people, guess so. It would help alot more if we could visit each others common rooms but ya ya, it was against the rules... blah blah blah.

"boots are always a good thing to have an obsession about!" smiling she started to laugh, if this girl could see her closet. he he he

"Chanel always makes a great boot!" looking at it while she picked it up for her to get a closer look at it. "Juno and Esme... and your the one who wears boots. gotcha" how embarrsing would it be if she got them mixed up. "ohh great! okay im going to put it down on the list." taking out her parchment she added the sweater that they both liked down on her list, along with the store it came from and the price. Her parents never cared about price! they all loved fashion as much as she did.

Hugo was happy Paloma was going to graduate and was having a....

BABY?? WHAT IN MERLIN'S BEARD?? HE WS GOING TO BE AN UNCLE!! He wasn't related to her but WHATEVER, HE WAS GOING TO BE AN UNCLE, OKAY? Those were GREAT news and he couldn't be more happy for her.

He was about to write an owl to her but someone interrupted him. He looked up, "Hey Kaycee" he smiled "Prefect Kaycee" said as he glanced at her badge. "How are the prefect duties going?"

Kaycee grinned. Prefect Kaycee. That's right. "So far so good. It's kind of fun being out late and bossing people around." Just saying. That was totally what it meant to be prefect, right?

"How have you been?"

Juliette had been watching the clouds pass over head while she thought about home. Not this home, or her new home in London. She was thinking about her home in New York and all her friends she had left behind to move her all because her dad wanted them closer to work.

She heard a very familiar voice approach her, and she leaned up so that she was now looking at Professor Stewart. "Oh.." She had not been expecting a Professor to approach her. "Yes, ma'am." Everything was fine and dandy! But the Professor wasn't really referring to how she felt right now, she was referring to the ladder she had attempted to climb earlier.

"Everyone looks like they are having fun up there," she told the Professor. "I just don't like heights, so I decided it was best for me to sit here and watch."

Juliette slightly nodded. "I mean, I'm as alright as I'm going to be..." She fiddled her fingers a little bit. "I just miss being in New York," she quietly admitted, hoping Professor Stewart wouldn't do anything dramatic to help her. It just felt good to admit it to someone that she felt comfortable with, and that's all she wanted to do: just talk. She took another look up at the treehouse then said, "It is wonderful."

A Cushioning Charm? "No, I didn't." It was a relief knowing that if she did fall, it wouldn't hurt her... unless she missed the cushioning charm somehow! How far did it reach?! It would be her luck for something like that to happen! "Um, erm...." She remained quiet for a few seconds as she thought about it. "I guess I could." She should of just stayed in her dorm today.

Slowly, she stood up and walked over to the ladder once more.

GULP.

Her heart was racing, and she took deep breaths to attempt to calm herself down. She began to climb up the ladder. Don't look down, she told herself. She made it up a few steps before saying, "I don't know about this, Professor." She kind of just enjoyed sitting in the field of clovers.

The United States? Interesting. "Were you born there or did you recently visit?'' Was Kay being nosy? Surely if she was, Juliette could let her know. Her gaze moved back to the Treehouse. "Perhaps someday you'll get to see the view.'' She wasn't about to force the Hufflepuff to do anything.

Kay nodded. "So I'm glad I let you know about this.'' Perhaps it would make her somewhat calmer and more confident? Oh, what did you know? Juliette was willing to try! The woman got to her feet to follow. "You can do it, Ms McDean!''

She watched, smiling encouragingly. The smile didn't falter when Juliette stopped. "It's quite alright. Remember, it's up to you of you want to go further. So far you're doing wonderfully. Do you think you can go further?''

"I was born there," Juliette answered with a short nod. "My father is going to work at the Ministry again, so he moved back." That's why she was here. She was definitely a daddy's girl, so wherever he went, she was going to be there to support him. "Perhaps. If not, I still have a good view from right here." She could see the lake and the castle. What else did she need to see?

...

This was CRAZY! Why was she doing this?? Oh right, she actually kinda liked Professor Stewart and didn't want the lady to thing she gave up easily! "I-I-I can try," she stuttered as she went up another step. There was no doubt one of the students in the treehouse was seeing this. EMBARRASSING! Slowly, she went up a few more steps. Her knuckles were getting white because of how tight she was holding onto the railing to the stairs.

She was only a two or three steps away from the top now, but here's where she made the mistake: she looked down! The one thing she was not suppose to do, she did! She hugged the ladder now as she began to freak out. MAYDAY MAYDAY... SHE WAS TOO FAR UP! "Professor!" She squeaked. "I can't do it!" She didn't care what students were thinking now at the scene; she cared about getting down now.

Juno nodded in agreement. An expansion spell would definitely help and then her parents wouldn't have to worry about remodeling the house at all. "Yeah...I really need to reorganize my closet. It is just a mess. But I think that is also because it isn't as big as I need." She shrugged.

Juno thought for a moment before deciding that it would be fun to have someone that wasn't her family over. She didn't have a lot of friends...it was more out of choice than anything...but she really liked this girl. "Sure that would be awesome!"

Juno looked through the page of scarfs. There were a lot that were cool and would keep you warm, and then there were some that were more for looks than anything. She pointed to a black cashmere scarf with purple and silver stars on it, "I really like that one," and then pointing to another scarf that was a beautiful vibrant blue cashmere, "and that one." She loved picking out clothes. It was so fun!

Oh...she didn't know they got light from the lake. She had forgotten that it was under water. "Well, that has to be cool! To bad we can't go into other dorms. I would love to see all of them common rooms for all of the houses." She said with a small smile. It would be neat to sneak in one day....

Giggling, Juno replied, "Well, I have close to 300 different styles of boots...so....it's a little ridiculous." She grinned. Boots were her thing. She had to have every type...and she made sure they were maintained well...unlike her father.

"Chanel does. I think I have about 10 different styles of just Chanel." She had a feeling that, as everyone does, when Echo met her sister she definitely would forget about the boots. She and her sister were so identical it was scary. Other than personality and fashion choices, when they were in school robes, you really couldn't tell them apart. Unless of course you knew that Juno was an inch taller than her sister. "I'm also taller...if that helps." She grimaced a little. She watched as the girl started writing her list. It must have been nice to just have to send what you want to your parents. Juno couldn't do that...her parents expected them to work for things they wanted, despite having all the galleons they could possibly need. But it did make Juno appreciate what she had even more.

"then ohhh yes, im coming over and were going to re-do the whole thing" She was always inviting herself over to other peoples places but they have been talking about this closet for too long and she really wanted to see it. It was funny because she confirmed the invite right before Juno said she could come over, he he he.

"thats such a good one, black, purple and silver.. purple goes great with green so it will work with my school robes" sometimes it was really hard to match things with her Slytherin pride but she seemed to always managed it. "did you want one too? we can have matching ones?" of course she would take one, they looked so pretty.

"I KNOW RIGHT!!! like i bet yours smells good because.. its gotta be near the kitchens some where, im always seeing the puffs around there?" it was strange that it was such a secret between houses. "and it must be bright.. yellow... all that yellow" she blinked her eyes as in making a joke and she giggled. "ohh, i'll have to catch up. I dont really know how many boots i have but im sure its not 300"

flipping through the pages she stopped and looked at some more things. "taller.. gotcha.. well if you ever hear from your sister about a crazy girl calling her... you.. then that would be me" well and it all depended on how identical they were.

*in the party timeline* *another stop and go because I can hehe*
