| | |  Climbing Tree
Graphic credit: Felixir Standing squarely in the middle of an otherwise featureless lawn is an immense oak tree with sprawling, high-reaching branches, its foliage thick and rich with natural colour, depending on the time of year. The tree is taller than it has any right to be, and seems ideal for climbing. That is, indeed, what your benevolent groundskeeper had in mind when he grew it.
The very lowest branches jut out six feet or so above the ground, but if you can't reach or haul yourself onto these, there are little nooks and conveniently located knots in the trunk to get you started. Up in the higher branches, you'll find platforms and maybe a basic treehouse structure or two, but the real fun to be had is in traversing the tree itself.
Climbing tree though it is, this area also serves as a pleasant meeting place, the vast canopy of leaves providing plenty of shade in the summer months. A plank swing dangles from one of the lower branches, and a tyre swing from another.
It's pretty difficult to confuse this tree with the Whomping Willow. For starters, you're in an entirely different part of the grounds. Not to mention, the climbing tree is an oak, and (presumably) won't maim you for trying to climb it. All the same, you're expected to treat this place with respect. Don't act like a fool, especially when you're high up in the tree. If you do happen to fall, the slowing and softening charms in place around this area will kick in, and you will come to no great harm.
Do as you please here, as long as its within school rules. Relax. Have fun. Go wild.
But maybe not too wild. Javier doesn't have any medical training, after all.

That was definitely a quality of Lisa's that she admired - being able to make friends so easily. It was not something that came as easily to herself and she was not as gifted as Evan in the art of small talk. Her face tinged a slight pink at the mention of Apollo. "We're just friends. I shared a compartment with Ash for a bit too," she answered, trying to veer away from prying questions regarding the relationship that did not exist.
That was true though. What was going to happen if they did ask? Detention? "We could ask Professor Amstern and if he doesn't know and won't help us out, we could ask the headmaster... and then we can go from there." She made a little hmm sound, leaning back against the tree at Lisa's question. "Do you think Kimmie would've told him?" Were they close like that? Maya wouldn't even tell their parents if anything of that sort so she couldn't even begin to think what an awkward conversation that must be with grandparents.
Maya giggled at Lisa's reaction. "All I said was you guys would make a nice pair and that he's nice. I didn't say anything about him liking you." She smirked. "Do you want him to like you?"
Sugar cookies were always a safe bet. That way they wouldn't have to worry about potential nut or chocolate allergies. "Quidditch cookies would be cute. Might just take a little more time but I'm sure she'd appreciate the effort." Even if they turned out awful, it was the thought that counted anyways.
"Did he?" Maya frowned, wondering if she ought to put Jude lower on her list. But she was a sucker for rooting for the underdog. "I still think it could happen though." Maya was patient and this was a long game. "I... don't know. Should we ask her how it went?" Maya asked, shifting her gaze from her list to the blonde not too far from them. “ I’ll always pencil you in,” she winked with a smirk as she shifted her gaze to watch the people around them. Family was important- even if she made it sound like they weren’t. She arched her eyebrow at her sister’s reaction to Apollo. She had her suspicions for sure about the two of them. “ Oh? How’s Ash?”
Professor Amstern… it was worth a shot? “ I know Noah met the parents but I don’t know about grandparents…” she said before becoming silent. Then again Amstern seemed rather helpful with things so he’d probably help her out.
“ You like Alfie? I didn’t know you knew him… but you are the same house.” It made sense really. “ Remind me.. who’s he?” She had a lot of friends and admirers.
Lisa nodded. “ Okay… could you help me.. maybe? You’re so good at designing. ” Maya was just good at everything aesthetics. Lisa…. Not so much.
“ REALLY?” She paused, debating it. She didn’t think Evan liked anyone that way- boy or girl. He had gone on a date prior but Jude… Jude. Nooo. Speaking of Valentina, “ We could… who would have better luck? You? Or me? We don’t want to bombard her.”

"Mm?" That was the most Ed could muster at the moment, his fists moving slowly in a frightened clenching of the grass. Maybe if he felt her presence receding, he could slowly army-crawl away. Valentina looked visibly relieved when he responded. Phew. SO, he was fine. Why was he just lying down though?? Maybe he'd gotten hurt somewhere? Didn't seem like it. She hesitated for a moment before reaching for his hand, giving it a light tug.
"Do you want to.. get up, maybe?"

"That's okay, where are my little brothers?" Axel and Aiden weren't her brothers, they weren't family at all but they were Tadhg's brothers and knowing him for as long as she did the boys had been just little babies when they met. So she had been there for everything like a sibling. In a lot of ways they all felt like one big family at times since they both had lots of siblings and did lots of outdoorsy things with their families.
Slips her hand into his. "Where's Shadow and Flora?" Tilts her head at him looking over his shoulder at his hood to see if either of them are inside it like how Sir Frederik does to her. Tadhg knew how Lia was, if he wasn't climbing up the edge to join her, she would've tackled hug him. Chuckling softly he smiled at her. " Hey there my beautiful girlfriend, how is my Lia doing?" Looking at her he laughed. "Okay... now I'm up here you can tackle hug me." He knew it was going to happen, it does every time she sees him it was her custom greeting. He didn't mind it of course, he thought it was cute and adorable. "Axel said he was going to hang out with Keighley who he calls his Energizer Bunny." Chuckling at the thought of his little brothers wanting to be like him. "Aiden said he went with his friends to board so yeah.." He liked to keep track of where his brothers were, even had something like him and Lia have to know if they're okay. He knew how much his little brothers were like little brothers to Lia as well, she was there to help him raise them.
Just as Lia talked about Shadow, she popped her head up from his hood part of her masters hoodie he was wearing. "She's keeping herself warm, she doesn't really like the cold and Flora is in the middle pocket, you know how she's always on my fingers."

"Do you want to.. get up, maybe?" She s-s-she TOuChEd him. On the hand.
Edric cleared his throat and sat up suddenly, struck (as though by lightning) but really just struck by the touch of her hand (which felt like lightning to someone he'd never been touched by before). He sat up so fast he might have, in fact, knocked into her.
"I'm sorry I'm fine, I'm just...." He started scuttling backwards on his hands, like an odd little gangly crab. "I'm just sc---"
He was scared, he admitted it. Or thought he did. The words might have been stuck in his throat.

Lia giggled happily. At being told that she could now tackle hug as she normally did, the fourth year consider it for the briefest moment before shaking her head. "I think that can wait until we are back on the ground." No chances were going to be taken while up in this tree. What she was going to do though, was fling her arms around him in a normal hug for the time being.
She smiled. "I love how they're great friends too!" Her cousin and his brothers being friends was perfect. Being able to all hangout in a group was much easier when everyone got along. "Oh! Hello there, Shadow. Maybe she needs to wear a little sweater." Dahlia giggled at the thought. "I do and she needs to stay warm as well so I won't go bothering her right now."

I'll make sure my assistant reaches out to your assistant," she joked. And by assistant, she meant she would simply refer to her planner. Maya didn't miss the look that Lisa gave her after she mentioned Apollo and herself were just friends. But that was what they were even if she wanted it to be something more. "Ash is... good? I think?" It was always hard to tell with Ash but the good thing was that Ashley normally just said out loud how she was feeling. It made it much easier for Maya that way.
Hmm. "We're also not Noah... so I doubt the professor would hold us accountable for anything No did." Because that would be the mature, adult thing, wouldn't it?
Maya shook her head. "No, no. Daniel. Daniel seems nice," she laughed in amusement. It must be hard keeping track of everything considering all the drama that had already happened on the first day.
"Of course," she said in response. Maya had found that baking was rather fun and relaxing the same way origami had been. She supposed it was something about following steps that just made it... easier? "After classes, we can find time to bake some cookies. Or the weekend..."
She shrugged in response. "Valentina would probably tell you." But only because Lisa seemed to have a way with everyone. Lisa was just much more social than herself and Maya had a feeling if she were to ask the older Gryffindor, she'd just embarrass herself and Evan along the way.

Val fell on her backside abruptly ( so RUDE, hello), staaaaring at the boy in confusion. What had she even done??? Raising her eyebrows, the blonde got to her feet quickly. UM. Didn't he like that she touched his hand or something??
"... scared? Why?" She looked down at him, feeling concern now. "Sorry if I scared you in some way."

And then paused. And looked again. This time she happened to catch sight of Cooper. "Oh, Cooper! Hi!" she greeted him with a bright smile as she peered down through the leaves, her leg tightly gripping the limb so she wouldn't fall as she angled herself to see him. "What are you up to?" He would absolutely be keen on trying to pacify the Whomping Willow, though his focus for ticking things off on their bucket list was their whole underwater adventure. Though they were going to have to wait until spring to make an attempt at things since there was much to prepare and practice and not enough time before the lake began to freeze over.
Grinning up at her when she recognized his poor excuse of a bird whistle actually belonged to a Ravenclaw, he moved sideways along the branch beside the one she was roosted upon until he found a thicker part of it closer to the trunk that he could hold on to and pull himself up. "Was just on a morning jog," he smiled as his palms molded to the branch and with a grunt he hoisted himself up off the ground. Adjusting his grip a bit more, he pulled himself up into a chin-up position and then walked his feet up along the trunk until he was comfortable enough to swing himself around and teeter on the branch by his stomach. A bit more adjusting later and he was straddling his branch with his back to the trunk. "...bit late of me to ask now but...don't mind a bit of company, do you?"

The sun was shining and actually giving off some rare warmth today. Sitting on a sturdy branch about halfway up the climbing tree, was Bella who had left the snake pit to do some studying outside in the fresh air. Her kneazle was missing again, and she had no idea where to look for her. Hopefully she'd find her in her dorm with a dead mouse in her mouth when she came to leave her bookbag before dinner.
Dangling with her feet over the branch she turned the page in her HoM book. Why did most of the historic people and events they read about, have to have happened so long ago? It was hard to imagine how people lived several hundred years ago.

He scuttled away like a crab, still, or tried to, but then she was hovering over him, which was even MORE intimidating. Edric's mouth popped open and gaped like a fish.
"....!" She was very petty from this angle, didn't she know that? It was too much for him. He was completely overwhelmed and feeling a panic attack coming on.

Dangling with her feet over the branch she turned the page in her HoM book. Why did most of the historic people and events they read about, have to have happened so long ago? It was hard to imagine how people lived several hundred years ago. You didn't need to tell Apollo twice to get outside on the rare sunny days. Especially with a kneazle cradled in his arms that he recognized as having belonged to Isabella. Whatever the creature was doing outside the slytherin common room, the fourth year had zero idea but yet cats were funny like that.
Now - where to find Isabella Connolly? He needed to put a tracker on the bestie, except it would infringe on privacy and Apollo was not about that life. He just needed to think like her, which wasn't terribly difficult when one had been friends for so long. Trekking to the library first, with no avail, he finally settled on the grounds when he saw the sunlight seeping through the windows. Left .... right... oh... up... He grinned when he saw her sitting in a tree, reading a book {which he would have definitely cringed if he saw it was a history of magic book} but alas, instead he held up the kneazle toward her.
"Missing something?"

Val was so CONFUSED. It obviously seemed like he was scared but WHY. She took a couple of steps closer, watching the younger boy simply stare at her with his mouth open.
She raised her brows, tucking her hair behind the ears somewhat self-consciously. "Do I have something on my face?"

"Yeah, your nose."
Heh.
Heh.
Geddit? Her nose was on her face.
Why'd she have to tuck her hair behind her ear like that? It made him feel all... butterfly-y and nervous again. He caught himself hyperfocusing on it, staring at her shiny hair with his pale blue eyes. Wow. At least he was breathing normally again; that smart remark had made him feel better, and he was sitting up like a proper human instead of a crab. "I'm Ed, by the way, Edric Mason Cambridge."
See, that wasn't too hard. Now they weren't strangers as much.

HEHEHEHEHEH. Val couldn't help but grin widely, feeling quite amused. "That's funny." Also? Did he just speak to her?? Wow. Finally. But then, she caught him staring at her again. Maybe she did have something sticking to her face. Or hair.
"Hi, Edric. I'm Valentina Nichols." She smiled, extending a hand.. wait, was he going to be weird about touching her hand or something!? UM.

Grinning up at her when she recognized his poor excuse of a bird whistle actually belonged to a Ravenclaw, he moved sideways along the branch beside the one she was roosted upon until he found a thicker part of it closer to the trunk that he could hold on to and pull himself up. "Was just on a morning jog," he smiled as his palms molded to the branch and with a grunt he hoisted himself up off the ground. Adjusting his grip a bit more, he pulled himself up into a chin-up position and then walked his feet up along the trunk until he was comfortable enough to swing himself around and teeter on the branch by his stomach. A bit more adjusting later and he was straddling his branch with his back to the trunk. "...bit late of me to ask now but...don't mind a bit of company, do you?"
Celyn hadn't expected Cooper to join her up in the tree, especially as he was on his morning jog, but she was quite pleased when he almost immediately hoisted him up onto the nearest supporting branch. She watched him through the leaves, her head tilted, then straightened up and leaned back again as he found a seat on his own branch beside her.
"Hi, again," she said with a smile, her head still leaning against the trunk turned towards him. "Of course I don't mind, silly." He should know he didn't have to ask her that. He was always welcome company. "I'm just adding to the Hogwarts bucket list. Want to help?"

"Hi, Edric. I'm Valentina Nichols." She smiled, extending a hand.. wait, was he going to be weird about touching her hand or something!? UM. If there was an opportunity for Edric to be weird, he was going to be weird.
So, naturally, he played up the weirdness. Maybe he was emboldened by her laugh, maybe by the fact that she'd reached out a hand.
"Hi," he replied dramatically, taking her hand and brushing his lips to it in what he hoped was a gentle little kiss. He hoped he wasn't tugging on her hand too hard to make her fall into him or anything?!! (Though would that be a problem?!)

Wait, did he just- what just- she was so CONFUSED. What, even? Why the hand kiss? Is it something that he usually did or-? She had so many questions but ended up staying quiet, offering him a somewhat (awkward?) smile.
Anyway. "You can call me val."

He was always welcome company. "I'm just adding to the Hogwarts bucket list. Want to help?" Situating himself into a comfortable position, and one where he felt his balance was at its most capable, he rubbed his hands along his thighs a couple of times before switching up to drum on them with his fists. "Still," he chuckled with a cheeky sort of grin. He would always be the sort to ask rather than assume. "Absolutely," he nodded, swinging his legs just a little bit more. "Though, we do need to start ticking off things soon too and not just adding."
There was probably a metaphor in there somewhere with all that, but he let it escape him for now. Working on this whole...trying not to overthinking things too much.
"What's your latest additions?"

"What's your latest additions?"
Celyn casually watched him as he got situated. Cooper was adorably ridiculous at times, (or was it ridiculously adorable?) but she appreciated his need for respectfully asking permission. Even though she always welcomed his company, it was nice for him to make sure she didn't prefer to be alone as people sometimes did.
"Yes, I suppose that we do," she mused as she lowered her eyes to her list. It really was growing and if they didn't get started soon to do at least some of the things, they'd run out of time to cross all the items off. "Oh! I thought it might be fun to see if there really is a secret passage underneath the Whomping Willow," she grinned showing him that addition to the list. "What do you think?" Dangerous, but they could be careful.

Dangerous, but they could be careful. Overly polite, some might say. Thoughts and doubts for another day. With Celyn he never felt like he really had to worry about being too much of anything or not enough of something else. But...back to the present and comfort of the moment.
Grinning a bit, Cooper leaned forward slightly try and get a better look at her list and see if any of his thoughts had already manifested themselves on her list. "Oh, I'm sure it's still there somewhere," he nodded, though the confidence was much more wishful thinking than knowing for certain. "And it would be pretty neat finding places of great historical significance before we graduate. Not going to lie...kind of have been having the itch to find the Chamber of Secrets. Well, Chamber of Not-so-Many Secrets too." He glanced up, smiling wide at her and with his own soft mischievous twinkle in his eye. "I'm in. Absolutely. I'll pack the pumpkin pasties for the journey back."
