| | |  Battlements
 High above overlooking the lake and a section of the grounds are the castle battlements. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the battlements where used to defend the school from Lord Voldemort and his allies. This is also where Sirius Black rode away on Buckbeak the hippogriff, but keep that hush hush. Though some damage remains, the battlements remain fairly intact and provide an opportune place to be when an enemy is approaching.
Though there hasn't been a full-blown battle at Hogwarts for many years, the battlements nonetheless provide a nice view from a high vantage point. More often than not, the Giant Squid can be seen bathing himself in the sunlight; thestrals (if you can see them) fly above the trees at the edge of the lake; and if you look closely you'll be able to follow the road that leads to the Entrance Gates. If you're feeling up to climbing the tight spiral staircase to get there, know that it is worth the effort. There are wooden crates and barrels for you to sit on at the top should you need to catch your breath.

Serena, huffed and puffed, but she really did not feel like she could blow a house down. Especially when she felt that she was about to fall down at any minute now. Why she thought it would be a good idea to hike - yes, it was basically a hike - from the dungeons, the lowest part of the castle, all the way to the freaking Hogwarts battlements?!
She braced against her knees and took a deep breath of the cool Scotland air. Looking around for the first time since reaching the top, the blonde couldn't help but smile. The view was amazing though, there was no denying that. Leaning on the crenellation, she sighed, half tiredly and half in appreciation.
Yes, the view was amazing, and totally worth the climb.

Yes, the view was amazing, and totally worth the climb. Kinsay was adamant about finding all the secret spots in the castle. It was important to know, so she didn't even mind the hike up to the battlements. Not that it was any different from her usually hike up to the Gryffindor Common Room. This stuff was easy, she could climb these stairs in her sleep.
She found herself grinning so big as she finally made it and even--
Oh.
She didn't anticipate that someone else would be here. Um. Kizzy looked over at the older girl, wondering if there would be a way to kindly ask her to leave. Unfortunately, however, she was raised with manners and knew better than to ask for such thing. So instead, Kizzy just quietly made her way over to the edge too. Maybe one of the forest giants would be easier to spot from all the way up here??

Serena whipped around suddenly at the sound of someone else's footsteps, wand ready to be whipped out of its holster if need be. But, it was only a first year, and there was no need to be scared apparently.
"Oh!" She exclaimed, her hand flying to her chest in surprise "Scared me to death." She straightened up and tucked strands of her hair behind her ear "I didn't expect anyone to be here."

The loud exclamation of surprise from the older girl sent a shock in Kinsay's body too! She jumped upright, turning to look at the Slytherin (eyes wide, wand in deerlight kind of look). "Oh." She looked down at her feet and shrugged her shoulders a little bit.
"I didn't mean to," she admitted, feeling a little guilty for scaring the older girl. Oops. Phoebe would probably think it was funny though.
As for not expecting anyone out here, Kinsay could say the same thing. "I'm exploring," she explained, looking back over the edge. It was so pretty up. Best view ever. Even better than the one from the Gryffindor tower!! She was gonna have to tell Emm all about it so they could have super secret best friend sleepovers. It was the best spot she had found so far. "Have you seen any giants yet?" Important questions only.

Even better than the one from the Gryffindor tower!! She was gonna have to tell Emm all about it so they could have super secret best friend sleepovers. It was the best spot she had found so far. "Have you seen any giants yet?" Important questions only. "Its perfectly alright" Serena replied graciously. It had obviously been an accident. "Besides, you don't look like the scare the living crap out of her fellow students kind of girl" She offered with chuckle. That role was obviously assigned to her fellow Slytherins. Sneaky buggers all of them.
At the mention of giants, Serena looked back over the crenellation and peered closely at the direction of the Forbidden Forest. "Not yet." She began; but as she did so, she notice that tops of several pine trees were bending away from one another in peculiar pattern, as if a large hand was bending them out of the way "Oh, but there appears to be one over there!" She exclaimed, pointing at the area "Its not a very big one I think, since you can't see it over the trees. But not a lot of creatures can bend trees out of the way like that."
Not even those dreadful Acromantulas that Professor Trent left them alone to deal with.

Kinsay nodded because she agreed. "Not unless they're being horrible." She wouldn't mind scaring the living crap out of the people who weren't very nice. Though, she wasn't sure she knew how to do that yet. Maybe after some more practice she'd learn spells that could help with that. Just meant she'd have to sneak away from dinner even EARLIER than she usually did. It was all very frustrating. Everyone made being a witch look easy, but it was far from it.
The disappointment was evident in her features and she even sighed (for the drama). How come no one had seen a giant yet?! The forest was such a disappointment. It was--"Really!? Where??" Kiz leaned over and let her eyes frantically search the area. LOOK! LOOK! IT WAS A GIANT!!!
.... Maybe?
"Awwww, maybe it's a baby!" This was the MOST delightful news! "Do you think it'll hear us if we try to talk to it?" Did they have good hearing? Maybe the older girl could shout to get its attention.

Serena chuckled at the younger girl's excitement. She had never seen someone this excited over giants before. "Maybe" She replied. Really, there was no telling what creatures would be in hiding in Hogwarts' vast forests. But a baby giant seems like a logical conclusion. "You could try. I can cast Sonorous on you, if want. It'll make your voice reaaaaaaally loud." It might scare off the birds - and maybe call the attention of several students on the lower levels, but maybe she'll get to chat with the possible baby giant too.

It might scare off the birds - and maybe call the attention of several students on the lower levels, but maybe she'll get to chat with the possible baby giant too. "I know." She knew what the sonorous charm did and she didn't appreciate the way the girl was talking to her. Kinsay knew lots of things about lots of spells.... She just... couldn't cast them yet. That's why she practiced every day though. She'd be the best at it eventually.
Besides, Kinsay was hoping the girl would call out for the giant. So when she heard the proposal, she shook her head very adamantly. "Can you do it instead?" She even pulled her CUTEST face. Being cutest always got her things. She even added a soft, "Please?" Because James kids were taught to be incessantly polite. If only Emm were here. She'd be the best at getting the baby giant's attention. Kizzy wouldn't be any good at it, probably.

She just hoped that she wouldn't offend the girl enough for her to push her off the tower.
"Oh! Well good for you I suppose" The Slytherin praised "Not a lot of first years know Sonorous, its a fifth year charm, so good on you."
At the suggestion blatant manipulation Serena crossed her arms and arched an eyebrow. She invented the puppy dog look - she wasn't falling for it. "No chance I'm doing it alone. Either you do it with me, or we'll just have to live with the fact that we're never going to get to talk to possible baby giant."

She was more the type to watch from a safe distance as Emm did it. So Serena really had little to worry about. Kiz was more bark than she was bite. Even then, she was very little bark.
It was good for her. So Kizzy held herself a little higher. "I know lots of things." Just to be clear. Not just about charms. Both of her parents were Ravenclaws so. It was facts.
Serena's arch brow did very little to deter Kizzy. She was very well practiced in cute looks. Unbending. But. Doing it together didn't sound..... that bad. It was a compromise Kiz could get behind. So she smiled small and nodded her head. "Okay. Together." Because she REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO SEE A BABY GIANT.

If she was going to get detention for this, then at least she wouldn't be alone! "I'm Serena by the way" She said as an introduction - if they were going to get in trouble, they might as well know each other's names, right?
Removing her wand from her holster, she then held it aloft and asked "We should do you first, then I'll do my own throat next." No sense in screaming out the charm first, right?
Get ready baby giants, we're coming for you. I guess?

Get ready baby giants, we're coming for you. I guess? But see, Kinsay didn't want another detention. Especially if it meant she'd have to fight to the death again because the first time was awful enough. Headmaster Trent is such a terrible, horrible bully!
"I'm Kinsay," she offered quietly before nodded her head in agreement. "Okay, I'm ready," she held her chin high so that her neck was a little more exposed. Though, um, she wasn't entirely sure that she needed to.
But wait.
"... Have you ever done this before?" Kinsay gave the older slytherin a skeptical look. Serena wouldn't accidently set fire to her neck.... would she?

She had actually performed the charm before - but she couldn't guarantee success. After all, the last time she did it, all her fellow third years in the Thunderbird house had lost their voices for the month.
She could still remember the howler that she received after that incident
"Um, kind of." She replied honestly. She had considered lying - but changed her mind at the last minute. "I can guarantee that we're not going to die though?" She offered with a shrug.
But wait, important things first! "If we're going to do this though, what do we do if we get caught?" What if a teacher catches them? Worse, what if Headmaster Trent catches them?! She did not want to be Acromantula bait.

She did not want to be Acromantula bait. Serena was taking too long to answer the question. That wasn't promising. Not at all. It made Kinsay all kinds of skeptical (even more than before) and she tried to say as much with the look she was currently giving the older Slytherin.
........ "Pinky promise?" She eyed her. Dying was not in the plan. Dying was the opposite of the plan. Kinsay had MANY plans and none of them involved dying! Especially without Emmerson. If she was going to die, she had to do it with her best friend. Obviously. That's how all the greats go.
Unlike Serena, however, Kinsay took no time to think of a response to the question posed. "That's easy. We do this." She pouted real deeply and made her eyes go all big. The cutest of cute looks. "That always works." Except on Bernadette. And Trent. But they were both horribly mean so Kizzy wasn't sure anything would work on either of them to be honest.

"Right" Serena answered with a laugh, watching Kizzy's best puppy dog look. It was honestly adorable, she would admit. And she could see how she could get away with a lot of mischief, just with that one look. "But that's not going to work on Headmaster Trent - and with my luck this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the one that finds us." Then, as if thinking through it for a second, she shrugged "but whatever. Yolo I guess." She said with a grin.
Squaring her shoulders, and taking a second to straighten her robes (as if that had any effect on her spell casting ability. "You ready for this?"
Gently, she pressed the tip of her wand to Kinsay's neck and said in a strong and firm voice "Sonorous"
"Well? Did it work?"

Then, as if thinking through it for a second, she shrugged "but whatever. Yolo I guess." She said with a grin.
Squaring her shoulders, and taking a second to straighten her robes (as if that had any effect on her spell casting ability. "You ready for this?"
Gently, she pressed the tip of her wand to Kinsay's neck and said in a strong and firm voice "Sonorous"
"Well? Did it work?"
"It always works," Kizzy replied with confidence though she didn't feel very confident about it at all. To be honest, she was starting to consider backing down from their plan... But... The words of one terribly mean Bernadette O. Grantham echoed in her head. Gryffindors were brave. Kinsay Cassandra James was sorted into Gryffindor House. "Yolo," she finally nodded.
Though the chances of anything terrible happening were significantly low, Kizzy still shut her eyes tightly as Serena pressed her wand close.
And ..... Nothing FELT different? So Kinsay frowned, shaking her head.
"I DON'T--"
In one swift motion, Kiz slapped her hand over her mouth. O__________________________o Was that HER voice? With wide eyes, she looked over at Serena and slowly lowered her hand.
"I THINK IT WORKED."
She was trying to whisper this time, but uh ... so much for that.

Oh my dear Merlin it actually worked!
The startled Slytherin blinked a couple of times in shock - with Kinsay's loud booming voice startling her away. She grinned at the younger girl excitedly before she looked around the empty battlements - her eyes lingering to the door way a little, as if expecting a professor to suddenly emerge from the closed door.
Then, shaking herself off from the reverie, Serena shook her head once more to clear her thoughts, pointed her wand at her own neck and whispered "Sonorous"
As the spell was cast, she felt a slight itch from inside her neck - similar to the feeling one would get prior to a bad cough. Then, she opened her mouth to ask "Do you think it worked?"
OOOOF. Oh yeah, that definitely worked!
She turned to Kinsay starting next to her, then wordlessly gestured towards the forest - hoping that she'd get the hint how they can now talk to the baby giant.

Kinsay James hardly ever worried about getting into trouble for rule-breaking. But to be fair, she didn't break rules very often. Not unless they were silly ones that didn't make any proper sense. Otherwise, her only rule-breaking ever occured with the best friend by her side and in those moments, Kizzy felt invincible. The only reason why she was even somewhat worried now was because Serena kept looking this way and that, as if expecting to be caught for doing something bad.
They weren't doing anything awful though. Just trying to meet baby giants, and really there wasn't anything wrong with that!
Kiz nodded, wincing slightly at the sound of Serena's booming voice. Again, attempting he best WHISPER (under the current circumstances), she spoke once more, "Can you go first?"

Serena had about to open her mouth to agree - but thankfully remembered that their voices where magically enhanced now. So, she settled for a nod towards the younger girl instead.
Turning towards the direction of the forest - where they last saw the baby giant, Serena braced herself against the stone battlements, took a deep breath then said "Hi there, are there any baby giants out there?"
Probably not her smartest question. But, it wasn't as if she knew how to actually speak to giants.
