In this spacious room, the trophy room houses the various trophies earned by students over the centuries. From plaques with the names of Student House Leaders from the last century along with House Quidditch Cup & Gobstones Champions. Along with those who earned the prestigious Special Services to the school. All the trophies displayed have been kept in special encasing to prevent further dust from ruining them. Feel free to admire the displays, but do not touch or you may find yourself stuck to them with no choice but to clean them until all evidence of fingerprints have been removed.

It didn't take long for Frankie to start chowing down. He first started with his veggies -- carrots, lettuce sticks, broccoli -- and dipped them all in a bit of ranch. A pleasant smile was on his face as he chomped away, the veggie juices taking over his mouth. Why his younger self hated this stuff, he would never know. He pondered on this for a moment as he grabbed the last of his carrots, dipped it, and waved it toward Dot to acknowledge her wave before popping it into his mouth.
He had already moved on to his yogurt and fruit when Kaycee, Flammy, and Tenacius arrived in the room. He snuck a piece of pineapple into his mouth when Kaycee nodded her head at him. As he chewed and swallowed, he gave her one of his classic 'sup?' nods. The prefect was about to look away, back down at his plate, when his Head of House winked and gave the Vulcan salute -- there was no way he could have missed Flammy. The boy smiled and gave the same salute back to the man. Tenacius caught his eye shortly after doing so, and the younger Gryffindor was given a small wave just before his hand went to nab his last piece of fruit.
Munching away gleefully, his eyes fell onto the brownie waiting on his plate. He cautiously looked up, just to make sure that Ichihara wasn't there to catch him red-handed. He was ready to quickly toss it if she was -- oh! -- there was Hady.
The blond walked over to his friend, sneaking up behind her, and gave her a gentle shoulder nudge. He picked up his brownie and moved it closer to his lips. Before the sweet touched them though, he looked at Hady and said, "Don't tell Ichihara. It's cheat day. Shh!" Without another word, he devoured that brownie like he had never eaten one before in his life. SO. GOOD.

Oops. She hadn't meant to scare Oliver.
"Sorry about that." At least he seemed happy to see her which was nice because she was glad to see him as well. She grinned. "I'm doing great too! Well, as great as I can be right now. Still trying to come to terms with what happened... I feel... Well, it's hard to deal with." She was going to be okay though and at least she was with her friends so that was something.
Chocolate wasn't her thing so she was just going to grab non-chocolate things. Not even Azura's cookies. Sorry. "Hey," she said as she gave her friend a wave. Professor Flamsteed got a Vulcan salute in return. "Live long and prosper, Professor. How is Pebbles doing?" Because pet rocks were still pets.
The brownie was really good, especially with strawberry, and Jaemin quickly finished off the rest of it. Which was... disappointing, when he realised it was all gone. But he'd seen Azura bringing in cookies, so he finished off the last strawberry on his plate and bounced back over to the table.
"Hi Professor... what are those?" he asked, indicating the plantain chips that Professor Flamsteed was holding now. He'd looked at them, but... they looked odd, and he wasn't sure if they'd actually be tasty or not. He picked up one of Azura's cookies sniffed it suspiciously. Just in case.
Nothing smelled off. So he took a big bite of it. Mmmm, peanut butter.

The Vulcan salute was met not only with a grin from her but a returned salute aimed at Professor Airey. It had become a normal thing to do over the past several terms. Those that were just entering the room got a nod from her in acknowledgement. It wasn't at all that she didn't or wouldn't talk to anyone she just simply didn't want to interrupt those already talking or bug anyone that was eating.
Speaking of the food she picked up a carrot stick munching on it quietly. A girl had to eat to ya know. Dipping another carrot stick into a bit of dressing she popped the smaller piece into her mouth just when she was nudged from behind. It didn't scare her at oddly enough but it was enough to cause her to turn around, a small tugging at her lips when she saw who it was Frankie, a brownie halfway to his mouth. "Is that so? Does she know this?," Hady teased lightly winking at him. Don't worry she wouldn't tell. One brownie couldn't hurt every now and then. "Do I get to have coffee if this is the case?" Oh, sweet coffee how she missed thee!

Mid-year frenzy? Was it really such a thing in this school? The new divination professor thought that Hogwarts loved throwing events like this and it wasn't bad actually. Maybe it was the way this school kept the spirit or because generally Hogwarts people love to have fun and party.
Sora walked to the trophy room and saw there were some people already there. "Headmaster Sahnoun," She gave the man a nod. "Gentlemen," She greeted the colleagues and gave a small smile to the students there too. She eyed the food selection. Such an interesting menu here. Also, she just realized that she was the only female staff here. Maybe if there was no student here, this could be an all-gentlemen's event and she was crashing it.

Chewy goodness, that's what that brownie was. He couldn't help but lick his lips every now and then, just to make sure that he got every crumb and bit of chocolate into his mouth. He licked his fingers too, his eyes looking back at the plate of brownies. Could he sneak another of those delightfully lovely sweets? It was tempting. VERY tempting...
But he did not slide back to the table for a second brownie. Instead he turned his full attention back to Hady, catching her wink just in time (he gave one in return and opted to not answer her questions for she already knew the answers), and grabbed one of her carrot sticks. Frankie hoped that he wouldn't mind; he was still hungry and there was no way he'd be able to resist temptation if he went back to get more food. Sharing was caring, right?
"It's only fair for you to have an espresso shot," he said before he dipped the stick in some of her dressing and popped it in his mouth. Chomp, chomp, chomp! "That'd make us even."
He continued chewing away, though a sudden feeling rapidly overcame him. Blue eyes darted around the room in search for someone. The blond swallowed as stood on his tippy-toes just to make sure that the person wasn't missed. A quiet whimper escaped him. Where was she? Was she hiding behind those trophies over there? Why wasn't she standing here with him? He wanted to be with her right now!

She liked Draper more now that he was being nicer and if she ended up doing the Unicorn farm thing that Oliver had suggested she should speak to him about career options at some point. Speaking of Oliver, there he was. 'Hey," she said as she joined him and Echo. "How are you both doing?" She set about getting a plate and trying to figure out what she wanted to eat.
OH, maybe this was the place to be, Esme showed up and she was kind of happy that she wasnt mad at her for ignoring her problem that she had. "Hey Esme...." she smile back at her. "im doing okay.. are you doing better?" she hoped that her new friend was doing better.. well they werent quite friends yet.. she was more friends with her twin sister Juno.. but i guess it was friends by association?

He kind of thought she would expect people to talk to her since they were at a...thing. Whatever this thing was. Social gathering? Whatever it was, there were people there who were gonna talk to each other. Sorry, girl person.
"I reeaally didn't think you'd get scared, I'm so sorry!" He was still grinning while saying this but at least he wasn't laughing??? Ollie picked up a napkin and grabbed another cookie (y'know because germs) and set it on her plate. "There you go! Dessert is covered." Although who only takes one cookie? But he was gonna let her do that on her own.
Nodding, he smiled more, wondering how she was able to remember his name. "Yeah, I am. And...I might have forgotten your name or never heard it. What is it??"
And now it was Oliver's turn to jump when someone Esme apparently, was behind him talking to him. Maybe the girl had a point about walking up behind people and scaring them. Turning to face the Hufflepuff, he beamed. He hadn't seen her since Charms class. "Esme! Hi. I'm doing great. How are you??" He really liked Esme. She was the best.
"geez your quieter than my pet mouse" did the kid have a charm on his shoes that made him step so quietly?. Eyeballing him he didnt think that she would get scared. "its kind of hard not to... i dont have eyes in the back of my head" ohhh yass sassy snakette. Now she was completely shocked... did he actually pick up another cookie with a napkin and give her another one... *blink blink* she was in shock.
"ermm thanks" why would he do that? they werent that close, yeah they worked together in a class before but that was about it.. "its Echo..... Duchannes" she said while still starring off into space. Thank goodness Esme was there to lighten the load of the converstation.

ahhah, good thing that someone had scared Oliver back. but she was talking about what happened to her so it was best for her not to say anything, and there she went again doing more wired things... doing some some sort of salute to Professor Flamsteed.. who was always doing weird things himself.
pebbles? what on earth was that? *more blinks* she just wanted to come here for foods, now she was really confused.. by both Oliver and Esme.

He looked at Haddie, partly amused, partly admiring her hair. Because red hair is awesome ok? "Didja dye that or are you one of them metahuman type people?" he laughed. He had to get something superhero-ish in there. Its just how he rolls.
She asked how his holiday was "Pretty good! Gonna be having a new house-- dad wanted us to agree on the site before they break ground, and yeah spent more time with my new Abraxan-- oh! And I got me a new owl!-- Rescue owl at that. It’s a present from Mom." he beamed. "What about you, how'd your vacation go?"
Trust a Ravenclaw to notice the details hehe "Yeah... Actually I'm looking for my Dad's plaque and them trophy cups." he started. There were just so many shiny things! "Theres so many of them.....its like these things date back to what.... Merlin?" he wouldn’t be surprised if that was actually true. Looking looking looking-- "-- Ok I think these ones here are like before the turn of this century. Maybe its on the other side." Come walk with him?
But all this looking made his tummy rumble now. He made a beeline for the food table, grabbed a plate and filled it with them brownies, cookies and an instant fruit salad he made from the yogurt + fruit + plantain chips. Munch munch munch "Warnt shum?" he offered the strawberry haired girl.
Alright tank's being filled up, on with the road trip down memory lane "Hrmm... I thirnk I fournd the right decade." he warbled as he looked a the plaques where the Prefects and Head students were found.
Yeah thats what crazy is, when its broken you say theres nothing to fix++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++And you pray that everything will be okay, while you're making all the same mistakes

Azura gave Professor Flamsteed a smile as he spoke to her. "I hope you like them." They were fresh after all, ever since Cour had decided he liked them, she had sent him some almost every week.. Huh..
She looked up at the Professor as he spoke.. "A bake off? I.. uhh.." Professor Draper didn't seem like the type of person that baked but.. If he wanted to she would be willing. Maybe.. He still kind of scared her a bit. She gave Professor Draper a timid smile as she watched Professor Flamsteed eat one of her cookies.. And the other Professor's Brownie..
"Thank you Professor! I do like to bake." She said with a warm smile.. "Anything you like in particular? I could make you something sometime." She offered kindly as she looked around a bit..
She waved back at Esme but didn't move to join her and Echo.. They were talking with a boy and.. Azura didn't know him..
She turned to look at Jaemin as he sniffed at her cookies before eating them.. "I didn't poison them." She said with a soft smile. She could understand the wariness though.. What with the shrinking tea and all.
Unsure of whether or not the Professors were meant to contribute to this “party”, James brought along some brownies that were left in front of his door earlier this morning. Walking into the trophy room, he dropped the plate of brownies on the table in the center of… all the healthier snacks? Didn’t the Headmaster know that children didn’t eat healthy? It was why they were so obnoxious. But never mind that. James had done his part.
Besides, he had been wanting to get rid of the brownies from the moment he had seen them. He didn’t eat sugar. It was poison for the body.
Turning to the Headmaster, he forced a smile, ”Wonderful day for a party,” that was debatable. He had shown up early hadn’t he? Joy. Ah great, there was background music too. He hated this. Ultimate regret. Brownies points were not worth it.
The tall man was gently swaying to the beat of the music, his eyes looking at the doorway. He wondered who would be the first to arrive. It was only just a matter of minutes before someone walked through the door, and he had to admit that he didn't expect James to be the first person, other than himself, in the room. Though a smile was on his face, the man internally was perplexed. Was that a plate of brownies? Was the professor ill?
Sahnoun didn't question the Creatures professor though. He simply watched the man set the plate on the table as a few students entered the room. "Ahh, yes," he responded with a nod of his head. "Great day for a party indeed. Dank you for bringing da brownies, James. How very doughtful of you."

Plus, that voice of his.
Relaxing a bit, Hadley entered the room. "Hello, Headmaster. I was wondering if I could pick your brain about what animagus training was like?" Oh, yes. Hadley was being very cautious about her wording, conveying herself as just a student curious about the process and nothing more. She glanced around, and even from the inside it looked even more like this was a party set up. Did she miss a notice board announcement or something?
As he finished speaking to James, the headmaster felt a pair of eyes gazing at him. With a swift turn of his head, he saw the dark red hair of one of the younger Ravenclaws. "Good afternoon, Miss Denaker!" he responded as she approached. He couldn't help but notice that something was on her mind.
Ahh, Animagus training. The man's eyes twinkled as he recollected his fond memories at Uagadou.
"Da training is very intense, Miss Denaker. I won't lie about dat," he stated factually. "At Uagadou we start very early. It is one thing dat our school is known for and nearly everyone has mastered dat skill by generally deir fourth year. Here at Hogwarts, it's not very common. Only dose, from what I understand, that are gifted in Transfiguration and are willing to go through the strenuous process are considered. Professor Ichihara would be able to give you more guidance if you would like to know more."

Though he did give everyone there a head nod, surprisingly in sync with the music, right before he started his food pile.

It doesn't count if you share it, right?"
Catching sight of the Gryffindor and Slytherin prefects, not missing their greetings, the African directed his smile at them and waved, glad to see that they were already digging into the food. "Enjoy!"

Ahh, there was that intriguing astronomer. The man still hadn't forgotten his ... behaviour at the opening feast. Sahnoun, with the man in mind, made sure not to take his serval form for this occasion. "Live long and prosper, Airey," the headmaster greeted in return with a salute, even though he had no clue where that all came from.
He was about to ask, but the subject quickly changed. The professor was referring to the pet rock, yes? The one that he had given him at the start-of-term feast before running off? Sahnoun chuckled. "Zumberi is doing quite well. We've been anticipating a visit from you."

"Karibu, Miss Lynch," the man said in respond, watching her for a brief moment as she collected her food and was soon in conversation with Mr. Paton.

It was nice to get out off the library and lay his thoughts and worries aside for a few hours. To just be and hang out with the students and his colleagues because he wanted to. The HoH pin only had a minor impact on his choice to attend the event.
Entering the Trophy Room where soft African music was playing in the background Leo smiled cheerily around the students and staff present. "Hello everyone!"
Spotting Headmaster Shanoun in a corner Leo called over with a glance in the senior boss man's direction. "Lovely initiative Headmaster. I hope plenty off students will turn up."
Not long after, the Hogwarts librarian made an appearance. The African greeted him with a warm smile and bright eyes. "Welcome, Leo! Thank you for coming." He bowed his head when the man stated that this was a lovely initiative. He thought so as well, hoping that there would be more faces arriving soon.

Then the first Hufflepuff entered the room and greeted all of the professors. Would more from her House be following closely behind? Sahnoun sure hoped so. "Hello to you, Miss Darcy. Help yourself to some food. Plenty to go around!"

"Greetings, Mr. Salander," the man replied after the boy spoke. Oh, someone liked his music? The headmaster beamed down at him. "I'm glad dat you like it. This song in particular is my personal favourite."

"Hello Headmaster, Professor Draper, Professor Flamsteed, Mr. Kitridge.." She said with a bit of a smile at them all. "I brought some cookies that I made, I hope you don't mind?" She turned her purple eyes from them and looked around the room.. She saw Esme and Echo talking to a boy she didn't know.. And then Haddie talking to Tenacious. She waved at them all.. wondering who she should go talk too.. She didn't really know any of the older kids..
Sahnoun caught sight of Azura the moment she walked through the doorway. He noticed that she had brought with her a plate. Was it a sweet? It would balance out all of the healthy food he had set up...
"Good day, Miss Kennedy!" he greeted her cheerfully. To him she appeared to be doing much better now, which pleased him greatly. "And thank you for bringing the cookies. Very thoughtful of you indeed."

Also, she just realized that she was the only female staff here. Maybe if there was no student here, this could be an all-gentlemen's event and she was crashing it.
The last person to catch his eye was the Divination professor. The headmaster nodded his head at her in return before saying, "Welcome, Sora! Feel free to grab some food to eat. A lot of healthy snacks ... and there have been a few sweet additions courtesy of James and Miss Kennedy." He gave another nod of his head before he went to join the food line himself.
Hadley nodded to the Headmaster's comments. "I know it's intense, sir. I'm prepared for that." And she was very good in Transfiguration. Oh, there it was. The ask-Professor-Ichihara clause. "I'm afraid Professor Ichihara doesn't think it wise to even start training until fourth year, sir. She thinks I'm too young to start." Which she absolutely wasn't too young, thank you very much. "Is there a student exchange program set up with Ua...Uagadou?" Then she could go there for a year and really start her training.
And maybe see lions.
"I dyed it," she replied to Salamander. "But I used a potion, so it's more mystical and..." And she had no idea where she was going with that. So she simply shrugged and studied the trophies in the room.
Hadley smiled as she listened to his excited recounting of his holiday break. "Sounds wonderful. You'll have to invite me over to see your Abraxan. I've never seen one before." Okay, even she was a bit pleased at herself with that casual invite to have her over during the summer. Hadley Denaker was smooth today. "Really? I'd love to meet your owl. And you can meet Wimple. He's my owl."
She studied a trophy for a moment. "My break was nice. I spent it at Rachel's because I didn't want to risk being put on house arrest and not allowed to return to Hogwarts." Like during summer. "But Natalie spent Christmas day and the day after with us so that was nice. Also, I have presents for you so come find me later, kay?"
Hadley followed Tenacius to the food table, even though she wasn't particularly hungry at the moment. She did accept his offer and took a few chips and a piece of fruit. "Can't do sweets while I'm training to be an animagus." Self training that was. Which made it all the more dangerous and risky, but she was that determined.
She followed him again to the opposite wall, and began to browse the trophies and plaques also. "Is this him?" She asked after a few minutes of searching and she gestured to a plaque. "Stradivarius Salander? Stradivarius?" Hadley quirked a brow at the boy. "Head boy...Slytherin?" She sounded surprised at his house. "I always imagined your Dad was Gryffindor like you."
Kye was a little late to the Trophy Room, as it seemed to be in full swing. She noticed the Headmaster and gave a little smile. "Hello," she said. She didn't want to admit it, but she really really liked the Headmaster's accent...
"Thank you for this uhm, get together," she said to him. "It's nice to get a little break!" This was true. Yes, the Great Hall was awesome, but it was nice to feel like she were somewhere else for a minute. She looked around at some of the awards, wondering what they did to receive such an honor. Would she ever get one? That would be awesome.

All the other student arrivals got nods. So did the psychic Professor or whatever the heck it was that she taught. Not that it was important. If it was, James would've taken it while he was in school. Probably would've slept through it too, honestly. So yeah, not an important subject.

It worked with getting out of bad dates, why wouldn't it work at a school function?
Although, she wasn't sure why anyone would want to leave. She was feeling this music.
James gave the Gryffindor a strange look, taking note of how quick she was to come up with a good lie. Interesting. He'd keep that in mind next time she tried to skip class. Well, next time she tried to skip HIS class. Because honestly, he wouldn't blame her if she dipped out of Herbology every day of the year. Paul's class was just about as intolerable as his floral patterned ponchos.
"I could make that work," he nodded thoughtfully. "You're quick on your feet, kid." It was a compliment, alright? The closest he'd get to one.

Oh yes, he heard that. And he was QUITE amused.
Which was made very apparent with the big smirk he wore on his face after she whipped her head and stormed away. It was good to be king.

The Creatures professor did not have the aura of a certain former Headmistress at the moment. Key phrase being 'at the moment.' "Put on his apron and baked brownies."
Moment over? Most likely. Oops?
And like all good things, Airehead brought this one to an end too.
..................
And with one look, he could surely bring Airey's life to an end too. Because if looks could kill, James' stare was lethal. "Don't get used to it," he quipped.
And just because James actually didn't bake these brownies, a part of him hoped that they were terrible.

For all the strange man knew, James brought brownies to events all the time. He was building himself a reputation here, people. One built on lies. But eh, his morals were questionable.

Now if you'd excuse him, James was leaving. No explanation needed. He had spent far too long here already. It was what, like ten whole minutes now? He'd done his fair share. Even brought brownies.
On his way toward the door, he couldn't help but notice the strange look that Prefect Gryffindor was wearing.... "Everything alright, Paton?" That glazed, distant look.... looked all too familiar. Yet James couldn't quite place it.
Yeah, whatever. Not his problem.
He showed up, didn't he? Brought brownies? Didn't need to keep a kid from crying over his exam grades. James had already done so much good for one day. So ....... Kid, if that'd be all.... He could just leave, yeah?

The Headmaster was waving at her, and Dot gave the man a friendly grin and a finger wave, hoping against hope there wasn't any food stuck on her teeth. First... second? Impressions were important, and she didn't want to look messy or poorly put together. At least she wasn't sucking icing off her thumb anymore, right?
Dot glanced at her fingertips, checking that they were clear of any stickiness, and her stomach gurgled. Oh, embarrassing. She wasn't even hungry after that snack. In fact, she felt a bit off. Flushed, stomach unsettled, her fingers were tingling, her tongue... well, it was fine. Her tongue was just being very tongue-like at the moment. But the rest of her felt off. Not sick, exactly, but just... bereft. Like she would never be happy again, not if she didn't fill the hole opening up in her heart.
She glanced around the room, trying to be subtle, trying to find the source of this well of unhappiness, but all she was were more miserable saps like herself. All in search of a beloved one. All looking for... wait! What was Paton doing? What if he was searching for the same beloved one that Dot was searching for?
"KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF HER, PATON." She grabbed up the nearest trophy and flung it at his head. That'll show him.

Finishing up his brownie with one last swallow, the Astronomy professor looked down at Pebbles and gave her leash a little tug. "No need to be shy now, Miss Darcy is asking how you are doing," he grinned at the rock. But since she seemed a bit too tongue-tied to answer, he would do that for her. "She is doing quite well, thank you for asking."
Plantain chip moving towards his lips, Airey paused and wiggled the food in Mr. Song's direction. "Plantain chip. They aren't so ba----"
Oh...that was...what was THAT feeling?
His stomach was doing some sort of funny little dance that then turned into a jig that then turned into A TANGO OF DESIRE.
Pushing his way past people as he frantically moved about the room, his eyes wildly fell on Miss Kennedy. Was there anything he liked in particular? HA....HAHAHAHAHAHA. "OF COURSE THERE IS!" he declared. Sweet solstice what an absurd question to ask of a man obviously infatuated. "Yes, yes you can. MAKE ME A MAP TO HER!"
BE USEFUL RAVENCLAW.
"No time for visits, Headmaster," the astronomer said with a dismissive hand wave right in the man's face. He had more IMPORTANT things to do.
LIKE QUESTION THE CREATURES PROFESSOR! SURELY HE KNEW THE GROUNDS LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND, YES?!
"WHERE IS SHE?!" he demanded of the man, arms reaching out and firmly grasping him by the shoulders and shaking him. Which really resulted in the Astronomy professor shaking himself given his gangly form compared to the Jupiter sized shoulders of Professor Draper.
He failed to even notice Miss Wojack-Gusey throwing the trophy at his prefect. Far too concerned on shaking extracting all the information out of James that he could. If he could rule out the grounds now...then he could find her FASTER and more EFFICIENTLY.

Oh Azura. Poison, Jaemin would not have minded. Poison would just kill him. If only the Ravenclaw knew the real reason behind his concern when it came to baked goods delivered by girls... the small Slytherin nodded lightly to her and took another bite of the cookie, a slight shudder going up his spine. There was a weird... tingling... sensation... he looked up at Airey, frowning as the man said something about plantains, not really hearing it nor caring when the man suddenly stopped speaking and bolted.
There was a vague moment of being split between horrifying half-recognition and the sudden onset of other feelings, and then it was gone. Everything was gone. His life, his love, his happiness. There was one thing that was everything good in this world, and she was not here with him. The small Slytherin's skin was practically buzzing with sudden, unquenchable need. He looked around hurriedly, at the bodies that filled the small space, and... realising almost immediately that she would not be there, and that there were others who would try to steal her away from him should they find her first...
The diminutive second year let his glazed eyes roll toward the door and, with a look of the most lovesick preteen in the world plastered across his face, headed toward it, moving fairly fast.
BOOMBAYAH! | #PuedoPorquePiensoQuePuedo | Certified Blank and Random Person | Raventastic
Ah, so the brownies and cookies were provided by others. Was this such a potluck event or actually Draper and Azura just volunteered to bring the stuffs? Well, that was such a nice thing to do. But unfortunately Sora would skip the cookies and brownies. A cup of tea seemed lovely. "Thank you, Headmaster." The divination professor spoke while grabbing a cup of tea.
Suddenly she felt someone pushed her and made her drop her cup of tea. "Professor Flamsteed!!" She snapped. What was going on with him? Sora knew that the astronomy professor was a little bit.. weirdo but today he became weirder than usual. Apparently he was looking for someone. "Who do you mean?" Did he lose his precious pet rock again? She's down on her knee and repaired the cup by using simple reparo charm. Also... Did she just see Dot throwing a trophy to Franklin Paton? "Prefects, what was going on?" She couldn't help but ask both of them.
Seriously, what in Cassandra's crystal ball was happening with all these people?

Why wasn't Hady helping him in his search for her? What the bloody hell! Frankie gave her a look before quickly looking away again. Well, if she wasn't going to help him, then he was going to have to find his one true love on his own. How rude!
And how rude of Draper to be standing in his way. Frankie tried leaning to look past him with no success. "Dude, you're standing in the way! Can't you see I'm looking for someone very special?" Where was she? Why was the Creatures professor asking him if everything was alright when it was obvious that the blond's hair was on point and he never felt better in his life? The prefect gasped. Did he lock her up somewhere? "WHERE IS SHE?! IF YOU DID ANYTHING TO HER, I WILL --"
OOMPH! Out of nowhere, a trophy was flung at him. Fortunately it ended up hitting him in the gut, but it still hurt. But not as much as the empty space in his aching heart. The trophy clanged to the floor, and it registered in his mind that Dot was telling him to keep his hands off of her. Oh no she didn't!
"BUZZ OFF, GINGER! SHE'S MINE!" he shouted, not hearing a single word the Divination professor was saying. The prefect then grabbed Hady's plate and starting throwing whatever was left on it at Dot. She wouldn't want to be with anyone who was covered in food. "SHE IS MINE I TELL YA! MINE!"
Some food was thrown at Flamsteed too. Frankie overheard him demanding where she was. "DON'T YOU DARE TELL HIM WHERE YOU ARE KEEPING HER! SHE IS MINE! ALL MINE! I LOVE HER! WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED AND START A FAMILY AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER!"

Well, next time she tried to skip HIS class. Because honestly, he wouldn't blame her if she dipped out of Herbology every day of the year. Paul's class was just about as intolerable as his floral patterned ponchos.
"I could make that work," he nodded thoughtfully. "You're quick on your feet, kid." It was a compliment, alright? The closest he'd get to one.
Kaycee laughed lightly at the look. She knew what that meant. Yes, she could probably con her way out of situations. Thank you for noticing.
She smiled. Yes. She knew that would work. She then nodded. "Thanks Professor."
O__o
And suddenly yelling and throwing. She looked around just in time to see a trophy being chucked. Erm. Dot? You okay there...?

Small mentions of people, Mostly Frankie and a little of Draper xD
Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium
Rude. He hadn't even offered her a bite. Not that she wanted one or would've taken a bite but still. Ugh, boys sometimes. No manners.
Hady wasn't really offended at all in fact she laughed softly when he winked back at her. Neither did it bother her that he was taking her food. This had been completely normal for them both back when they had been dating and in a way it gave her some comfort in knowing Frankie was still that comfortable with her now. "You're lucky I don't mind sharing with you," she teased. Not many people got away with taking her food. "An espresso shot huh? You gonna make me one?" It was the least he could do seeing as he was eating her food and all.
Being as close to the blonde as she was his sudden drastic change in behavior didn't go unnoticed. Sure it wasn't at all uncommon to look around a room, especially since he was a prefect but going up on his tippy toes to do so wasn't common. Nor was the soft whimper that met Hady's ears causing her to step closer still and lay a hand on his shoulder. "Frankie...what's the matter?" she asked quietly glancing around as well. Maybe he had noticed something she hadn't yet.
It was just then that Professor Draper joined them and she glanced at the man she knew rather decently due to her speaking with him often for her creatures things. "I'll keep an eye on him Sir," she offered quietly casting another glance at the Gryffindor just as something came flying in their direction and hit Frankie! Her focus had been on the blonde mostly so she had missed where it had come from but the shouting that accompanied it didn't go unnoticed nor did what happened next.
One moment her plate of food had been in her hand and the next Frankie had it and was throwing it at Dot and Professor Airey! Had he gone bloody mental?! What was going on here?
Worse then the food being throw around was what was being said. Who was Dot talking about, who was Frankie supposed to keep his hands off of? Who was Airey looking for also? Lots of questions were running through her head but none were as important to her right then then what her friend was yelling right then. Someone belonging to him, being in love and getting married? None of it made sense. It was a little like when Mason and Haddie and Oliver were cursed and looking for different items a few weeks ago.
Letting out a slow shaky breath, trying to ignore the deep ache she was now feeling she stepped forward grabbing Frankie by the hand. "Hey, hey look at me. Who is it you're looking for, huh?" Whoever it was if he wanted to be with them for whatever reason right now she'd help him. If only because she cared about him and whatever was happening needed to stop before someone got themselves hurt.

Penelope felt obligated to show up to this event because she was Head Girl. She had no intention of eating any food, however, because she was still slightly paranoid about eating or drinking anything that was provided by professor after what had happened in herbology earlier in the year. Even though she was very careful not to drink the tea or water in that lesson, she had ended up being shrunk anyway. There was no way that she was going to eat any of this food, not even the healthy snacks.
Her prefects were acting like babies. They were throwing things at each other. Seriously. Penelope marched over to the arguing prefects, determined to put an end to this nonsense. She's mine? What were they talking about? Who was the 'she' they were mentioning? "Fankie, Dot, stop it. I don't care who said what or why you're throwing things at each other, just stop." Why was this happening? Flamsteed acting weird too. Had somebody spiked the food with love potion? Seemed like it. Good thing she hadn't been eating the food. Frankie was throwing things at Flamsteed. "Frankie, please stop throwing food at Professor Flamsteed." Now she was convinced that something was in the food. Something, that based off of the prefects actions she had deduced was most likely a love potion. Prefects and professors were acting like morons, and Penelope was not at all happy about this. If they wouldn't stop fighting, she would have to do something about it. Her hand reached for her wand, ready to act. She was not afraid to use magic on fellow students if the situation was dire.

Buzz. Off. Ginger? Did that gigantic flobberworm really just say that to her? Not to mention that he was also throwing food at her, which was wasteful AND could potentially stain her clothes. Frankie was not prefect material. In fact, he was garbage pail material and nothing more.
"It is so typically MALE of you to assume that you can just have whatever you want. We have a deeper connection. We're soulmates." Dot picked hummus out of her hair with distaste. "And if you go near her, I WILL TURN YOU INTO A CAPYBARA." She'd do it too. Poor Dante had been a capybara for hours, and he hadn't even been trying to steal Dot's girlfriend.
"HADY. We're friends. You need to distract him. Do whatever it takes."

And now there was Penelope, bossing them around. SHE was probably trying to steal Dot's girlfriend too, which was no surprise, honestly. Not only because Dot's girlfriend was wonderful and clever and perfect, but also because Penelope stole things. She was a kleptomaniac. It was known.
"MIND YOUR OWN, WRIGHT." The hummus Dot had just pulled out of her hair was immediately smeared down the front of Penelope's robes. "YOU'D MAKE A PRETTY GOOD CAPYBARA AS WELL."

Frankie was too in love to notice that he was shouting with the Slytherin prefect. All was fine and dandy until she decided to come along and claim his one and only. Seriously, who threw trophies at people? Someone was jelly, and she rightfully deserved that hummus to the hair.
Eyes did not waver from Dot when Hady asked him if everything was wrong. He didn't say anything either: everything was so obvious, really. The blond was love-sick, the trophy-thrower was trying to steal his lass, and now that goofy astronomer, who was supposed to be there to support him, was trying to get Draper to spill the beans on her whereabouts. What was so hard to understand about this? SHE was HIS.
"DEEPER connection? SOUL mates?" Frankie laughed at Dot. That was the most hilarious thing he had heard all day. "Only in your dizziest daydreams, Ginger. I bet you haven't even kissed her like I have." Truth be told, he hadn't kissed her either ... not yet anyway. But the Slytherin prefect didn't know that.
As for the thread of being turned into a capybara, the Gryffindor snorted. "NOT IF I TURN YOU INTO A STUPID ROCK FIRST." Then he'd throw her rock-self at Flamsteed. He liked rocks, and surely that would distract the man from long enough for he and the bae to leave the school and be together without these loons about.
Speaking of loons, Head Girl Penelope decided to get in on the action and told him to stop throwing food at Dot and Flamsteed. Was this girl really that dumb? How did she end up in Ravenclaw? He wasn't throwing food all willy nilly. He was DEFENDING himself because a bunch of LOSERS were trying to STEAL his girl. "YOU TELL THESE TROLLS TO STOP TRYING TO COME BETWEEN ME AND MY BAE," he shouted as he prepared for another food toss.
But the food feel to the floor when Hady grabbed his hand. Frankie shouted and quickly flung his hand away from her. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Did she not understand that he was in love? She didn't want him holding hands with other girls, and he didn't want to hold anyone else's had either. "NO hand-holding. Just help me find her before they take her from me. I will DIE if I cannot be with her."

James gave him the strangest of looks, before turning to Miss Lynch who happened to be one of the ones he liked. It was a wonder how she could tolerate being around the boy. How he had gotten a Prefect badge with that head of his was a true wonder. ".... Good luck," was all he had to offer. Because in all honesty, if the Prefect was feeling fine and Hady would take care of him, then that meant James was free to leave.

And it was a good thing that he turned to exit just when he did because had he lingered for a moment or two longer, he could have very well been on the receiving end of that gut-trophy. Maybe that was the good karma for bringing brownies? Right.
Turning to the devious Gryffindor, he nodded firmly. "I'd say now is the perfect time for an animal emergency," he gave her a knowing smirk before turning to announce it to--

Speaking of animal emergencies...
"Hands."
Airey would die tonight.
"Off."
Though the Astronomer showed a very weak attempt at whatever it was that he was meant to be doing here. The limp blonde only managed to shake himself silly. James was fine. Just annoyed. Peeved. Angry. Ready for murder. Y'know, the usual.
Grabbing Airey's hands, James managed to slide them off his shoulders... And.................. With that moment of freedom..... He was just gonna..... Y'know......... Casual make a break for the door...... Before anyone decided to point fingers at him for the whole poison issue........ Because he had nothing to do with this.
Just gonna.... If you don't mind..... THE DOOR.
