Behold! Through the wonders of magic, The Worple and Warmsley Magical Travelling Carnival has brought you a close-enough sized replica of the famous Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Every tower, pillar and gargoyle are exactly the same as the real castle, with one small exception of course- It’s bouncy!

That’s right! Fall, drop, or roll. Do whatever you like in this fantastic bouncy castle without getting so much as a scratch. With its dynamic stone like colors and excellent textured design you would think that you really were in a thousand year old castle. Jump through the corridors;
bounce your way through the great hall! Just don’t expect any moving staircases in this castle, we’ve replaced those with more pleasant things like climbing walls and slides.

The doors are open to all ages, and there is no school work too! So come on in, whether you are 2 years old, or 200 years old, this bouncy castle holds no limits!

OOC: Feel free to interact with the Bouncy Hogwarts Castle Carnie "Steven Kimber" (Grrr..Meow), chat, play and try not to get lost!

Remember that Snitchseeker site rules and the Diagon Alley Rules apply at all times. If you have any questions, you can ask them in the Diagon Alley Questions thread.

"Yup!" Skye said, pulling it out of her pocket and showed it to her. She grinned and started to bounce, climbing up one of the walls and toward the roof.

She was going to blame Evelyn for that. Her best friend knew about the carnival, knew about the food that went with the carnival, and decided not to let her know about if because she thought there would be chocolate eating. Well, too bad, Evelyn. Destiny didn't need a carnival for that to happen. She was fully loaded with it, and.. she didn't really have enough money to go buy anymore.

Only eating TWO chocolate frogs beforehand, Destiny walked around the carnival, deciding what to do there first. She hadn't seen anyone she knew, but that was fine with her once the Hogwarts bouncy castle came into her view. It was HOGWARTS. It was AMAZING. It was BOUNCY! No need to even think twice about it, she took her shoes off and tossed them to the side, not bothering where they went.

It wasn't like anyone would want to steal them. They were old.

Clambering into the castle, she held onto the side of the wall for support as she took in everything. There were people everywhere, bouncing, and it looked JUST like the real Hogwarts. And just like at the real Hogwarts, the first place she wanted to go to was the Great Hall. Giggling, she took off with kangaroo-like jumps towards the Great Hall only.. she didn't get very far.

BAM!

Mid hop, she collided and fell on top of someone who seemed to have the same idea as she did. "OH! Caroline! What are you doing here?"

Caroline was hopping happily over to the great hall the great hall should totally be a huge ball pit thingy. The would make this place even better. She was minding her own business half jumping half skipping closer to her destination. When out of nowhere someone had collided with her in midair. She shut her eyes. She knew that they were going to hit. All she could see was brown hair before she hit the bouncy floor flat on her back. At least this was the bouncy Hogwarts castle and not the real castle the mable floor would have really hurt bad.

For the love of Merlin. Why her this would only happen to her. Who ever it was was now on top of her. Opening one eye slowly as if she was in pain. Then the person spoke. It was Destiny. Her other eye flew open. Sitting up so fast that she practically threw Destiny off of he'd in then process. "Destiny! I'm hopping over to the great hall." She rubbed her forehead. She had hit against either Destinys elbow or the heel of he'd foot or maybe even a body part of hers. "What are you doing here?" She asked the same to her. Getting to her feet she was begining to rethink that the bouncy castle was the best thing to do to burn off this extra energy caused by all the sweet stuff that she had just in haled.

What NEWT's are you taking for your seventh year?" It maybe was a bit early for Dani to think about it but Louisa found it really great to get all O's and EE's at your OWL's.

"And how did Philip do?" Or wasn't he in the same year as Dani? She was a bit confused about this. Moving to the next part of the castle, she kept bouncing and feeling the air lifting her body and then dropping it very rapidly. She was actually starting to like the flying thing and now she only had to manage a broom.

Dani smirked a little, maybe she had sounded a little too enthusiastic about what she'd gotten... "Okay... maybe a couple. I got a 'Poor' in Astronomy... but seriously, I hate Astronomy!" she laughed as she smiled reassuringly at Louisa- "But the others are just meh. I'm proud of the ones I did do really well in" she said softly before hearing what Louisa said softly. She nodded- "Well... my number one career choice is to be a designer- fashion preferably" she smirked before shrugging a little as she kept up with the bouncing, such a good workout.

She shrugged- "But... that could be a little.. unrealistic. So, if all else fails I'd like to go into the Ministry, to do what I don't know. Maybe Law Enforcement like my big brother. I dunno" she smirked as she brushed back loose curls from her face. "I'm pretty sure he did good" she smirked- "But yeah... it's going to be his last year now..." she said a little sadly.

"Anyway! So... tell me about you, what's going on in your life?" she asked Louisa curiously as she turned aorund on one of her jumps, turning back again- she was enjoying this far too much for a sixteen year old.

Damon couldn't stop himself from letting out a little scoff when Alex suggested it was the Minister who was being eco-friendly. "I guess you could call him that, but really it's my Department Head that has been on top of these things. We're starting to work with the Maintenance Department to try and get the Ministry to be more environmentally aware. Whether or not our Minister of Magic has wanted to contribute or not, I don't know, but as far as I've seen he doesn't even recognize the Environmental Department as being a real Department." At the end of Damon's rant, that came out much calmer and matter-of-fact than he felt, he let out a little sigh of frustration before turning to Alex and offering a little grin of apology. "I'm sorry...got a little carried away."

As Damon looked at Alex say how she'd been doing he thought it looked like she was about to cry. Turning so his body was no longer facing the bouncing castle, but facing Alex instead, he put a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright Alex. If you need to get it off your chest, I'm here." Damon figured something must have sparked the sadness towards the situation that Alex didn't have back when they were discussing it over coffee. "Did you end up looking at Diagon Alley at all for any open positions?" Damon asked, not sure if that was the trigger for the dangerously close tears or something else.

Not wanting to push it if Alex didn't want to talk about it, Damon answered her question on how he was doing. "I'm doing well," he said with a little smile. "I'm glad to be getting some environmentally oriented tasks at the Ministry, and to be working with other people that are as passionate it about it as me." Well...except for that one older woman that thought going green meant making the Ministry literally more green, but she wasn't in his department so to heck with her. "Plus this carnival is a nice distraction from things," he said with another smile.

Alex grinned. "I'm sure you could manage to bounce around in a castle. You're not THAT old now, are you?" She'd assumed that he was just a couple of years older than her. "I mean, if you don't mind me asking.." She continued, looking slightly flustered.

Alex frowned. "Oh. Well..I'm sorry to hear about that.I don't know much about the Ministry to comment but I seriously can't believe the Minister could be so...stupid. I would go ahead and say that your department is way more important. You guys help make our surroundings more green..which is what we need right now. What with global warming increasing day by day.." She shook her head and smiled. "Anyway..I'm glad that you're boss seems to be sensible." She grinned at his apology. "Hey, that's okay. I'm a good listener. I don't really mind."

She managed to give a small smile as Damon turned towards her. "I'm sorry. It's just..it has been a rough past few days. You know.." She swallowed and continued with a faint smile on her face, "They don't like the idea of me moving out of our house. They seem to think that I'm not old enough.." She rolled her eyes. "So, yeah. Everything is a mess." She gave a shrug. "The problem is..I don't know how to deal with any of this.."

"That's great. I'm glad you're enjoying your job." She pushed away her thoughts for the moment. She was here to have fun and not cry about her problems. "Exactly." She definitely needed a distraction. So..what do you want to do?"

Oo! A fifth year! "You'll be in my year then" she said looking up at him, how the hell had he gotten up there? But then she ran as he fell, she was NOT getting landed on. "Yep, I'm in Hufflepuff which is the best house" she informed him with a nod, before tilting her head to the side as he rolled into the walls "what are you doing?"

Everett nodded, "I suppose so then." He said, amused as she had run when he had fallen. "Hang on, but before you said you'd get lost... Aren't Huffelpuff's meant to be good finders?" He queried. If this was a lie, then everything was messed up in his sense of Hogwarts. He would have to forget everything he thought he knew...

Everett looked up from his rolling into walls to see a confused Sammy. "Rolling into walls, what does it look like I'm doing? It's fun."

AH. The stereotype. Lovely. It wasn't the bad one though, that Hufflepuff's were stupid, so that was nice. "Well, no. Some people are, but I'm not. I get lost waaaay too often, but I am pretty good at finding food" she explained finishing it all with a small nod. "It's just a stereotype, I guess, like that Slytherin's are evil but that's not true, for one my sister's a Slytherin and I'm pretty sure she's not evil" she said with a small shrug, who knew if her sister was evil. Then deciding to jump up and down on the spot again. "What house do you want to get in?" she asked, it was a fair question. Unless he was sorted already, she didn't think so.

"Well yes because that's completely logical" she said with a small grin and an eyeroll to go with it. "Come on Roll Boy, we might as well explore" she said starting to jump down the corridor, then changing her mind and rolly polled her way down the corridor.

Damon gave a little grin. "You're right...I'm not that old. I'm only 26 but I feel much older than that," Damon said with a little chuckle. Guess it was just an aspect of leading such an eventful life so far. Damon looked at Alex, and for the life of him couldn't tell how old she was. He knew she was younger than him, but in all honesty Damon was terrible at guessing people's ages. "How old are you...if you don't mind me asking," Damon asked, as nonchalantly as he could. It was always tricky business asking a woman what her age was, but Damon figured she was young enough that that whole annoyance at the question hadn't begun to set in yet.

Damon listened to Alex as she talked about the Minister of Magic and the good things about his Department and gave her a little smile. "Well thank you for that. It's nice to know there are people out there that think it's important what we do." Damon said with a smile.

Damon's eyebrows furrowed as he heard that Alex's family was giving her a hard time for moving out. "Well that's just ridiculous," Damon said with a gentle roll of the eye. "They can't keep you caged up there forever. Besides, from what I can tell you have things together, so really there's no reason for you to not be trying to move out and start things for yourself." Perhaps that was the abandoned child in Damon talking, not really having a firm experience of what it meant to have parents that cared and worried about you. Perhaps he was being a little harsh in his words, but holding someone back certainly wasn't going to help that person. "I'm not sure that there's ever a right way to deal with this. Lord knows I don't exactly go about handling my suddenly interested mother very well, but what I do know is you've got to do what's best for you, and maybe they won't support you now, but if you really focus on establishing yourself as an independent person, hopefully they'll come around."

What did they want to do now? Definitely not that bouncy castle. "If you'd like we could go and check out some of the other attractions at the carnival. Maybe a ride that's a little less...youthful?" Damon concluded with a little chuckle.

Jasper nodded. "Texas is cool. I like it there. My family has a ranch." he told her.

"That's cool. I'm a pure blood." He didn't really like telling people that he was a pure blood because it made him feel arrogant. "Something like that happened to my brother and myself. He made ME disappear. I ended up being in the Bahamas for two weeks." Jasper told her.

Astronomy. Hmm. Louisa should keep an eye out for CoMC and Astronomy for the year next this one, then. "You did great, really." She smiled back and started bouncing again, "I can see you as a fashion designer. You're so pretty and take care of what you wear." She nodded at Dani's attire. "Umm.. do you think you can help me out someday choosing good clothes?" Because if there was one thing Louisa was willing to admit of not being so good in, it was the fashion thing. But she had to be fashionable enough to declare her teen years had started, hadn't she?

"Life's good now that I'm at the Leaky Cauldron with Marina. I spent around two weeks with my family once they got back from France and I don't really like get along with them, anymore." She shrugged one shoulder. "But I met a lot of new friends and old ones."

"Ooh, a ranch? With like, animals and everything? I've always wanted to ride a horse." Sarah said enthusiastically.

Sarah nodded, then smiled, "Well, hey, at least you got to go on a vacation without paying, right?" she said, looking on the bright side.

"Ahhh..." she said softly, not pushing Lou on that subject, unless she wanted someone to talk about it of course. "Ahh, that's good- making new friends and seeing old friends is always awesome" she nodded reassuringly. "I've seen some old friends from Beauxbatons" she said softly as she smiled widely.

Uhhh.

A bouncy castle? Hmmm. Well, this was something, wasn't it? Paulie didn't quite know what to make of this carnival.... it was so bizarre. Cool, though. It was cool. Because it was entertaining and out of the ordinary and had random, huge, bouncy Hogwarts castles right before your feet.

The fifteen-year-old gave a surreptitious look over his shoulder to make sure no one was watching him - though, why would they be? Thankfully he knew barely anyone here, soo... here goes! He traipsed and turned his way into this castle, clutching the side as a precaution because falling in a contraption like this seemed inevitable.

Was this Narnia? Well... kinda no, but it was close! Magical folk had such an awesome paradise under their noses and Ainsley had been suffering in the presence of muggles her entire life! It was no way for a Pureblood like herself to live! Anyway... the bouncy castle. The brunette had been eyeing it for ages now but didn't want to get on by herself and look like a loser.

Oh well. Her loser side had won this time and she couldn't resist the bouncy castle. Ainsley approached it, kicked off her trainers, but ran at it with such a speed that she lost her footing.

Crash. Bang. She fell forwards and grabbed the first thing she could find to break her fall. Apparently, it was some random boy's foot...

Paulie bounced once. Then, since the first bounce went well, he tried again. He allowed himself a small grin in spite of this childishness, and stretched out his leg to take a large step forward, but his foot never made it to its designated spot. Nope. Because something had snatched it away, causing his other foot to slip out from under him as he got caught off balance. He made an odd sounding yelp that sounded something like .. "Whaaaaa-aaaaoooo"

Aaaaaand, he was down for the count. Well, not down for the count, but he was down on his butt.

Fortunately he was in this bounce-castle, or his skinny rump would be sore from the fall. He looked around wildly for a moment before seeing the culprit, who had tripped or maybe just took him down for kicks. "Holy cow, this Hogwarts castle is a hazard to everyone's health!"

Jasper felt awkward. He didn't really know what to say. And besides he just really wanted to go just wanted to go jump around in the bouncy castle but he didn't know if he should just walk right in.

Fee just giggled a little as she noticed Jasper waving at her.Noooow he could be highly mean and selfabsorbed but right now he was just beign really cute.And all in all he was great.Waving at him the girl walked over to them."I AM HEEEEREEE",she giggled,"soooooo lets geeet it bouncing."What a pitty they had to get rid of their shooes,the blonde loooove hers but ohh well.

Looking over at the girl standing there next to Jasper she waved and smiled."Nice to meet you Sarah,my name is Feenella",she said friendly,"ready for some bouncing action?"

As the Slytherin noticed that Jasper didnt feel too well in the situation she cuckled a little shaking her head.Soo confident but sometimes soo different."Coome on Jasper",the girl smiled taking his hand running to the bouncy castle.

Ahh, pretty clouds. Pretty flowers, pretty animals, prettyyy world! Ainsley felt like she was in heaven. But she wasn't, she was just sleeping. Dreaming. It only lasted a few seconds, though, before everything faded to black, and all she could now hear was kids running around and shouting, as well as some boy getting a bit lary. The fifteen-year-old opened her eyes and forced herself into a sitting position.

Oh, she was at the castle.
OHHHHHHH.... she fell and grabbed someone's foot!

"Shooooooooooot. Sorry, dude. I, er..." She what? Got over-excited about a bouncy castle? "I made this totally cool potion the other day and it makes me a bit dizzy at times, so I er... lost my footing..." BAM, LIE. Boy, oh, boy, she was certainly good at those. Ainsley fixed her hair briefly, then realized that she could of killed this boy. "You're not hurt, are you? If you are then I'm sure I can fix up a potion to make you feel better." She giggled slightly.

Blehh! He didn't look too physically damaged. No harm done.

Wow. That was a long 'shoot,' Paulie thought.

The girl before him started to explain herself then, and she ended up kinda talking a lot. Like, maybe a mile a minute. Really fast, he thought. Or maybe it just sounded fast because she was saying a lot when all he really expected was two words? He scratched his head. "What kinda potion was it?" He wanted one!

"Uhh, nope, I'm all right. Thanks, though," he smiled crookedly. Oh wait? If he was hurt, then she'd make him a potion? Like a dizzy potion? He better find out how trustworthy this clumsy girl was before he took a potion of hers, though. Maybe. Actually, on second thought, he didn't care. Paulie decided to ask later, if he remembered.

Something on her arm caught his eye; it was partly covered, but he could tell that it was a tattoo. Or maybe a couple? He wasn't sure. His eyes jumped back to her. It was interesting, hearing about why people had tattoos or the stories behind them, and all that, but that was sorta a personal question to be asking before you even know someone's name, so he asked a boring question instead. "So, uh, what's your name, then? I'm Paulie Foster."

That is one thing he did like about himself: the name.

It was interesting, hearing about why people had tattoos or the stories behind them, and all that, but that was sorta a personal question to be asking before you even know someone's name, so he asked a boring question instead. "So, uh, what's your name, then? I'm Paulie Foster."

That is one thing he did like about himself: the name.

What kind of potion was it? A predictable question, that was. Too bad she had to think of more lies now. "Umm... put some rat's bogies in it... kitty cat whiskers... fizzing whizballs..." She racked her brain to think of more possible potion ingredients, but as she did so, her brain began to ache. "Some other stuff, too.. It turned green and fizzy and I drank it." Yea, in reality, would she have drunk it? Hellllll-to-the-NO.

Ainsley giggled. "I was only jokin', silly." She thwacked him playfully on the arm, without realizing she did it at first. "Oh, sorry." Shoot. She made up for it by rubbing his arm all better.

The brunette watched as his eyes wandered to her arms and guessed that it was something to do with her tattoos. They were sacred whenever it came to schooling so the fact that he could see them was a bad thing! Then again, maybe he was just looking at something behind her arm, so she didn't mention it. "Hullo, Paulie Foster. I'm Ainsley. Ainsley Piper." She didn't like telling people her full name on a first meeting, but if he was going to then fiiiinneeee..

Ainsley frowned, then tutted to herself. "My head hurts." She felt dizzy, but not because of the fake potion, but because of the fall she had just 'recovered' from. Looks like she hadn't fully recovered, and she fell to the floor again. Not badly, just so she was sitting. "I think I have concussion." Maybe a bit dramatic.

The further she went with the ingredients, the more Paulie thought twice about taking a potion from this girl. "Sounds like you just winged it," Paulie commented, amused. This girl was crazy for just throwing random ingredients together and then drinking the result! "You are brave for drinking that willingly," he nodded. Rat bogies... he wondered if you could taste those..

"Ohh." She was kidding! He grinned then and got smacked on the arm by her. Then she proceeded to apologize and rubbed it better. Hah! He couldn't put his finger on why, but he liked this crazy girl.

"Ainsley Piper? Wow, that's a really good name," he thought aloud. It just rolled off the tongue well, ya know? Like Paulie Foster, of course. It actually gave Paulie Foster a run for his money, and THAT said something.

Uh oh. She was complaining of a head ache? Hold up.. "Isn't this just bouncy, uhh.." Bouncy what? "Bouncy floors?" How did she hurt her head? Oh, wait. Maybe she snapped her neck or something... whiplash. Ehhh, that would be bad. A concussion?! "You think you have a concussion?" Oh gosh, what would happen if she just fainted right here? Then what?! Okay, okay. Concussion test. Like in the films, right? He lifted his hand up and raised two fingers. "How many fingers am I holding up?"

TWOOO. Please say 'two.'

Ainsley shrugged casually, "I'm cool like that." Truthfully, she was quite a dabbler in potion making. But not so much the made-up ones. Let's just say that her potions textbook was looking rather raggedy from over-use. And if they weren't dangerous, she occasionally fed them to her cat, Stanley. "I could whip you up a batch, if you want." If he was BRAVE enough, that is. Muahaha.

Ooh, a compliment. Ainsley wasn't used to those, especially ones to do with her name. "Thanks! Yours is pretty cool, too." Looks like both their parents did a good job with naming, then!

Bouncy floors, BLAH BLAH.
"Tell that to my HEAD." Maybe she had a hollow head? Whatever her head was, it was hurting. "Well, I dunno! What does concussion feel like?" From what she could remember in her life, she had never had it before. Aw.... Paulie was actually freaking out. She wasn't positive if it was because he cared or if he was worried that if he left her, she would die and it would be his fault... Eh, whatevs. Ainsley raised her eyebrows when he raised his fingers, "Errm.... two..." She said, groggily....

".....hundred."

Uncontrollably, Ainsley giggled, still holding her head. Yeah, it hurt but she didn't think that she was going to die anytime soon.

Paulie grinned and gave a small, almost unnoticeable laugh. Cool like that. Incidentally, 'cool' was one of Paulie's favorite words. Or at least one of his most-used words. "Yeah, you're cool." Whip up a batch? Was that a challenge? He was bad at challenges. And competing. "Uhh.. okay, sure. Makes you dizzy, right? Anything else?" Maybe she was pulling his leg; he hoped so, because if she wasn't, then he would be forced to make a fool of himself.

He grinned, a bit proudly, he might add. "Thanks!" Paulie Foster was indeed an excellent name. PaulIE.

Yikes! "All right, all right...... it could have been whiplash." Did whiplash even give you concussions? Frankly, Paulie didn't know what the hell he was talking about. He was certainly no doctor, nor a healer. Or a nurse. Or anything medically-related. "A concussion feels like... uhh.." How to describe a concussion.. Huh. He got one once, but it really didn't feel that weird. He just felt kinda sleepy. "I think you get sleepy. Or dizzy, but you took that potion, see? And maybe a head ache sometimes? Oh, or you can't see straight.." Hence his two-finger test. Speaking of which...

She answered correctly. Phew. At least she passed that one. Wait a sec, two hundred..? Pfffft, as if. Paulie smirked and folded his arms. "You're such a faker."

Looking over at the girl standing there next to Jasper she waved and smiled."Nice to meet you Sarah,my name is Feenella",she said friendly,"ready for some bouncing action?"

As the Slytherin noticed that Jasper didnt feel too well in the situation she cuckled a little shaking her head.Soo confident but sometimes soo different."Coome on Jasper",the girl smiled taking his hand running to the bouncy castle.

Sarah blinked. This girl was really energetic, "Uh, hi, Feenella, nice to meet you too." she smiled brightly.

As soon as she got the words out Feenella was pulling Jasper to the castle. "Right," Sarah said to herself, "Guess we're going in then."

Now, he had to figure out how to get to the bouncy castle through the mess that was the carnival. But there was only one way to figure that out, and so he started walking.

And she followed along. There were people everywhere, many of them small kids that got underfoot, but the good news about being led around by a really tall guy was that even when she couldn't see over heads or got distracted, he could see. The seeing was a good thing.

When they got to the castle, she dropped her food bag and put more weight on his arm as she lifted a foot, "These heels are coming off. I don't want all of Hogwarts deflating and falling on me."

"I would hope they would have a charm against that." Because, they had to face it, not everyone was as logical as Morrigan seemed to be.

Sabel rearranged his free hand to give her a bit more support while she fussed with her shoes. His eyes went to the castle. It looked so unbelievably small. Sometimes he forgot just what magic could do.

"Well, me too, but I don't want to test it." Once her shoes were off, Morrigan shrank them too and stuck them in the bag. One sealing charm later, and she was walking across the blow-up bridge to the castle entrance.

"This is going to be awesome." And now that she'd made that pronouncement, it'd better be, "Come on!"
