Witsy saw William dash past her her mouth opened in shock. She knew she wasn't slow but she wasn't that fast either, but enough to put up a fight. She picked up the pace a little and when she thought she couldn't make it close to him she though she'd cheated once why not again, she removed her wand and yelled, "Petrificus Totalus", still running at full speed.

The man raised an eyebrow. "Scared of heights?" He looked up at where the rollercoaster was going. "And you're in line...why?"

Chuckling, he shook his head. "Nah. It'll be fine. No worries." Adam was certain there were enchantments on it to make it the safest coaster possible.

Oh..Heh. He stopped the rocking. "You could say that." And it would be very true.

"Because I'm a curious sort of person that's why." Aine replied not really perturbed but feeling challenged that he was asking questions back. "Besides, a little risk could be fun."

Aine didn't smile like most people might when he stopped rocking. "I'm Aine by the way." she stated, holding out her hand for him to shake.

" William still sped past Witsy. " See, I am young and faster" William teased Witsy. "Do you know what happens when you cheat on me?" Willaim asked Witsy. " You are in for it now" Willaim laughed.

He nodded. "A little risk is fun." Seriously, how DULL would life be if you went along doing things that had no risk? It'd be boring. And probably quite padded...wouldn't want to risk tripping on the sidewalk and scraping your knee, would ya?

Adam would.

"Pleased to meet you, Aine. Pretty name, that. I'm Adam, Adam Emmerson." Grin.

"Do you do a lot of extreme things?" Aine asked, curious to know if he had ever ridden on a thestral or taken a broomstick ride from England to France, certainly those were extravagant.

"Thank you. Yours is the same name as the first man create, it's quite symbolic." she pointed out, though he probably already knew. If he didn't, well perhaps he didn't know much about Muggle religion.

Extreme? Hmm. "I used to do quite a bit of travelling. Moving from place to place on a whim." He didn't know if that would be considered 'extreme' or not, though.

Adam raised his eyebrows. "I never thought about that." No, really, it never occurred to him. So what did that symbolize? Superiority? Priority? He definitely never felt superior...And he couldn't say he was first much. "Does Aine have meaning to it?"

"Do you not have family that would miss you?" Aine asked, finding it odd that the man wouldn't have anyone that missed him. Not that she could talk, her parents were in Australia and she was here, a very long ways from home and by herself.

"Aine is the name of an Irish goddess for love, summer, and wealth." she explained, sounding a bit like an encyclopedia. "It's probably why my favourite season is the summer."

Allie giggled "yeah, you definitely should!" she noticed that it was her turn to ride the coaster carpet now. She walked forward as she kept talking, "but still... I am a year older than you." She stuck her tongue out at Will and smiled at both of them, Will and Witsy. "Let's go!!!! YAY it's our turn now." She shouted excitedly.

Allie gave Witsy a big grin. "Now you are the mighty witty Witsy". Allie shook her head as she answered, "No I haven't seen it. I mean, I have never visited him before. I tried to sneak out once, but one of the teachers found me and I got a detention." She mortified but then she laughed. "Oh, long story." She went on. "But yeah.. hey, I don't mind. When are you going to visit him again?" She asked eagerly. It had been ages that she didn't see Rex. It would be fun to catch up with her old friend, of course.

Allie smiled widely. Fee's hair was truly gorgeous and she was literally a little bit jealous of Fee's well maintained hair. Allie barely cared about her hair that much. She couldn't stop staring at Fee's hair for a couple of minutes which was seemingly strange if people noticed it.

She blinked her eyes, back to reality. She listened to Fee. "Awww... You got me here, babe!" Allie gave her a hug when Fee said that she missed her boyfriend. That was cute. Well, they were a cute couple indeed. "What is he doing in France?" She asked and gave her a disgusted look immediately, "ewwww... frogs." She laughed. She hated frogs. Nasty little creatures. The only frogs she liked were just chocolate frogs. She LOVED it.

Allie didn't really regret the relationship she had over the holiday. It was kind of fun and a brand new experience for her as she had never had a boyfriend before. And she was just too scared of commitment. But she nodded. "There must be a better guy here somehow. At least, one. and it must not be a frog. obviously." Allie rolled her eyes and burst of laughing within 5 seconds.

"Oh you do!" She said and her eyes went wider when she looked at Fee. "So I don't have to introduce you then." Allie laughed, feeling embarrassed. "So hey, where's Alex?" Allie suddenly asked as if there was nothing wrong. "You guys were usually together last term..." She raised her eyebrow, waiting for Fee to answer.

" I will have to do some runnning excercises so I can catch you" Willaim told Allie."So you are a year older and that just slows you down" Willaim teased Allie laughing. " Yes, all of us going on the carpet together, Witsy, Allie, Fee and me" William said to her. " Lucky me, three girls and myself" William smiled

Adam's hand went up to scratch the back of his neck. He was a bit taken aback by the question, but it was whatever. "I do, but they let me do my own thing. Family's why I moved back to London, though." So they were there, they were important to him. They just needed him now, but didn't then.

"That's very interesting." And he was sure she had plenty of all of the above. Not that she could physically have summer, but, yeah. She had that summer glow. And it was her favorite season so...made sense.

"NO WAY!" Allie protested. "I am trained. I can run as fast as my firebolt." She wiggled her eyebrows again playfully.

"And I am only 13. So I am not that old." She laughed, imagining how scary it was that she had to be an old woman in the next few decades eventually.

"Oh geez, I hate the idea of being old." She freaked out.

"Yeah, lucky you. Welcome to our girls day out, Will." Allie laughed and punched him quite hard on the shoulder.

"Oh dear Will-helmina" She gave Will a big wicked evil smile.

" Yes. well when we race, may the best person win" Willaim told Allie." O just had to give yo ua bad time about being older than me" William said to Allie. "Witsy will really get mad at me since she is 13 and I think Fee is the same age, another girl mad at me" William laughed. " You are not that old and neither or Witsy or Fee" Willaim smiled.
" I have no problem with a girls day out when I am the male that is part of it" Willaim explained to Allie. " Ouch, that hurts" Willaim called out. It did not really hurt but he wanted allie to feel good. What is this with girls hitting my shoulder or boys',. shoulders all the time? Wilhelmina, very funny" Wiliam laughed.

"So you're from here originally." Aine stated more to herself than to him. "My father's in the army, you know, the Muggle forces so he picks us up and moves us around a lot. I insisted that I be educated at Hogwarts because it is the best school in Europe, and he agreed. But now he and my mum and my little brother are in Australia and I'm finding my way around here."

It was okay to be by herself, she wasn't told what to do and when or how to do it. Just the whole paying for things was a bit of a difficulty sometimes.

"Yes," Adam confirmed nodding. Home sweet home. Or home monotonous home. Oh well. He did what he had to do and couldn't complain much.

Hogwarts was the best school. He smiled at his memories of the place. It would be cool to go back one day. Maybe. "And you didn't want to go to Australia? Beautiful place." He'd been once or twice. Wouldn't mind going back their either.

"No, I wanted to get a job as a Healer at St. Mungo's or perhaps the nurse position at Hogwarts." Aine stated matteroffactly. "So I plan on staying here for the time being, but who knows what the future will bring, right?"

Adam seemed like the kind of guy who wouldn't mind just going off on some trip on a mere whim. Aine was learning to be adventurous like that but she usually let her logical head get in the way.

His eyebrows went up. "Healer?" Impressive. "Have you had much luck?" Aine had used past tense, after all. But Adam could be over analyzing that.

"Hopefully only good." The future could be mean.

"I've had a few summons from St. Mungo's. I think I might be getting a position in the maternity ward." Aine replied. She was on the fence about that job because although she liked Healing, she wasn't so sure how she felt about dealing with babies.

"So I'll from them on Friday." she added with a soft smile. "Where do you work?"

Huh. She didn't sound precisely pleased about that. But she was a girl, so she must like babies, so she must be fine with it. Maybe she was just nervous.

"Gringotts," Adam said, subconsciously looking towards the building down the street.

So, he was pretty much having a great time watching everyone go on the carpet coaster, hearing their screams, laughing at their screams, making the coaster go even FASTER...and of course, eating his ham and cheese sandwich. What a day, huh?

Looking over at the others though, Flynn popped the final bite into his mouth and wiped his hands on a napkin before seeing how everyone was doing. "Is there anyone in need of a partner? Or a paper bag? Raise your hand!" He could be the partner, and he had plenty of paper bags right here just in case people needed to...

Well. What would one expect from this kind of ride?

...

What was this?

"OI! MISS!" He called, eying the young girl. "Please refrain from using magic near this ride!" And people. He didn't care about the no magic outside of school rule. That was the law enforcement's job to deal with. He just wanted his ride to be up and running.

"I've never been on a flying carpet either." Hateya peered up at the carpets already in the air, not mentioning that in her younger days she and her sisters had totally pretended the floor rug in her brother's room was a flying carpet.

As they got closer to the ride, she heard the guy who looked like he was running it yelling at some kid about magic. Hateya rolled her eyes, "Who uses magic underage? Seriously."

Couldn't they just get their older sibling or parents to use it? That's what she always did.

"Only idiots," Tori agreed, eying the girl attempting to petrify somebody. "She doesn't even look old enough to USE a wand." Tsk tsk.

As they approached the flying carpet coaster, Tori started to feel a bubble of anxiety mixed with excitement. "Look, the track is invisible!" How cool was THAT! "Shame we have to wear seatbelts though.... it would be awesome if we could jump off this and land on the bouncy castle..."

Allie agreed. Deep inside, she was thinking of a way to win. I obviously need a make-you-run-faster potion. Wonder if that exists. hmm. She mumbled without being able to be heard by anyone, especially Will. She laughed in all of a sudden.

"Witsy and I are in the same age!" Allie squeaked. "Fee is older than me a year, I guess.." She said hesitantly. "But she's good. Anyhow, I still don't mind pranking those who are one or two years older than me." Allie wiggled her eyebrows and laughed. "It's better than to be punched in the face. You let me try it on your face?? eh?" Jokes. Allie stuck out her tongue at him and continued, "Wilhelmina is a good name for you. I promise, you'll be famous with that name one day." She winked mischievously.

" Very good, I knew yo uand Witsy would ger along" William told Allie." Fee is just a year olde, that is pretty close, so that is why yo uget along with heer" William said to Allie." Then I am glad I am younger than you" William laughed." You are really funny, but yes punched in the shoulder is better than punched in the face" William agreed with Allie." Ok, if I am Wilhelmina, then you get a boys name and it is Alyousis" William teased Allie right back laughing hard. " Do either two of you want to call me Wilhelmina or give me a girls name?" Willaim asked Witsy and Fee.

Hateya stared at Tori with her mouth slightly open, as that one statement redeemed every prissy thing the girl had said to her before this moment in time, "That would be. The coolest thing. EVER."

Because obviously their timing would be perfect and they wouldn't crash to the ground on either side of the castle, breaking bones and rupturing vital organs. No no.

"Do we have to ride with other people, d'you think?"
