-How about another snack?-

[Daniella]

Daniella entered the Great Hall. A smile played on her cranberry colored lips as she sat down at the Ravenclaw table. She had invited Ruby to come down with her for a quick snack after doing their homework. After all that work, I hope I get a good grade. she thought with a small sigh as she waited paitently. As she waited, she put down her messengerbag on the floor and glanced around the Great Hall, checking if she was already here.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby entered the great hall and sat down at the Ravenclaw table with Daniella. " I hated that homework. She replied yawning. She glanced around the hall and at the gold walls around them. She was wearing a long sleeved top that said, Life Is Hard At Times and some dark Jeans. Her hair was down and it was frizzy and messy after the stress of Care Of Magical Creatures Lesson.

[Daniella]

(( How do you like the avvie? XD ))

"Yeah, not my favorite. But why that poem and why five paragraphs?" she had to ask. Daniella pulled her hair back into a high ponytail and tied it with a lace that she had found in her bag. She wore a bright yellow shirt that, weirdly enough, had lace trimmings and a pair of denim jeans.
She leaned over the table to grab a juicy looking plum and began to eat her cares away.

[Ruby Rebel]

(Really cool)

Ruby sighed. She glanced at the food on the table and took a red apple. She poured some pupkin juice into her silver goblet. She took a bite from the red apple and then put it down. " I have no idea what that even had in common in taking care of magical creatures. She replied confused.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Hey." Ryan said, wheeling himself to the end of the table where Ruby and Daniella sat. "So, did ya finally finish it?" he asked Daniella with a smile, reaching out to pour some lemonade into his goblet.
((sorry, went to get lunch))

[Daniella]

(( Heh. ^^ Even though I'm 12, I still act like a little kid. Okay, back to the rp! ))

Daniella thought a moment. "Well it /was/ about a magical creature," she told Ruby. "I can't wait until we do some hands on things with the animals." she added as she wiped her mouth clean of the juice from the plum. After finishing her plum she grabbed a peice of chocolate from the table. "Yep I finished all right. Without any help." she said to Ryan proudly then laughed.

[Ruby Rebel]

(That's okay)

Ruby saw Ryan wheel himself over. " Hiya Ryan. She replied taking out her wand and making her hair curley again with a spell she muttered and it went back curley and not frizzy. She drank some pumpkin juice and then put it down again. She faced Daniella again. " Same here. She finished again.


(Cool, I'm twelve too...I'm turning thirteen in six months.)

[Josh]

Josh entered the Great Hall with the smell of the various types of snacks and other foods filling his nose. He scanned the hall for a few seconds to see if he could see any familiar face. There, by the Ravenclaw table, he saw Daniella, Ruby, and Ryan. He walked quickly over to them and sat down, "Hey. What's up?" he asked smiling.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Yeah, but it wasn't that bad. It's better than getting bitten and stung by various creatures I guess. I can't wait 'till we do unicorns. Not much, what's new with you?"" Ryan said, then turned to see Josh. "Any new developments?" He asked him.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby shook her head and Josh. "You just had to ask. She joked thinking about the lesson her, Daniella and Ryan just came out from. She took another bite from the red apple and put it down once more.

[Daniella]

"What's the incantation for doing your hair?" Daniella asked Ruby when she saw her do her hair with a flick of her wand. "It'd make lifea bit easier." she said with a laugh. "Oh hey Josh," she greeted him. "Do you have all of the ingredients for the potion yet?" she asked, curious as usual.

(( Cool, I just turned twelve in March. ))

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby shrugged. "No reason...I just hate frizzy, messy hair. She replied to Daniella with a small laugh. She glanced around the table. " A full house. She replied with yet another laugh.


(What are your favourite disney movies?)

[Josh]

"Cliff's Notes version, when Andrea drowned she pulled her killer in with her so they both died. Her murderer, Kasey, was the one who wrote the messages on the wall to trick me into giving her the potion so I couldn't help Andrea cross over. If Andrea crosses over before Kasey, then Kasey is sent to Hell and vise versa," Josh explained trying to make it as short as possible with all the nessecary details, "Ruby, Daniella, Dave, and I got Merscales yesterday and I have Eye of Newt from my potions kit. So all we have to get now is Unicorn Hair and Squid Ink before I can brew the potion. And Kira left me this." he said reaching into his pocket and pulling out the silver whistle and looking at the other three to see if they comphrehended.

OOC: I feel so old. I'm 15 going to be 16 in October.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby shrugged. "That's cool. She replied with a another flick of her wand. She eyed her eyes on the star lit ceiling like last time. She looked back down and took another bite from her apple.


OOC: So...my sisters eighteen in september and my brother just turned twenty-two this year. And for me I'm thirteen in six months. I'm abit older than Daniella. (Kay)

[Daniella]

Daniella gave a small laugh at Ruby's sayings. After Josh's statment, she was astounded at how much was going on with his life, even though she knew the whole story already. It hadn't come to her the last time she heard it. She thought she knew what the whistle was for, Kira had told her who Shadow was and thought that it had to do with him.

(( Well I don't know, just love all of them. ^^ Ah don't worry about it Josh, I just feel really young. ))

[Ryan Redmond]

"Well, d'ya have any thoughts on the squid ink?" Ryan asked Josh. "Cause you could always try the stealing option again for the unicorn hair." He said, then paused when he pulled out the whistle. He shivered, though it wasn't cold at the sight of it. Ryan stared t it intently before saying simply, "Oh."
((okay, I saw the CR posts, not the lake ones. You feel old? I'm 18))

[Josh]

"Yeah," Josh said seeing Daniella and Ryan's expressions, "Looks like Kira thinks Shadow won't attack me, so I suppose I get to use him for the Unicorn Hair. As for the Squid Ink, I don't know, I watched a muggle documentary that said squids ink when they are scared. I don't know if scaring a giant squid is very smart though," he said half-laughing.

OOC: CR?

[Daniella]

"Well I had an idea for just giving the squid a bit of a jump. Maybe use a spell that emits heat from our wands so the squid will be a bit startled at the sudden heat." Daniella suggested. She didn't really know how to scare a squid. "But the problem is, doesn't the ink get mixed in with the lake water when it releases the ink?" she asked the group.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Well, getting Shadow to get it for you is a good idea, just be careful when dealing with that squid. You know how odd it's been latley, so I'd try Daniellas idea." Ryan said, thinking it over. He turned to Daniella. "Try Cirrus (pronounced Sear-us)). Its the latin word for curl and you know most spells are latin-based."

((CR=Common Room))

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby who had no idea who Shadow was just sat there abit baffeled at who Shadow was. She took a choclote frog from out of her bag and began to eat it. She gave a small yawn once again knowing she was sort of kicked out of the conversation. "Arhem...Who's Shadow? she asked trying to get in the conversation.

[Josh]

OOC: Right..I'm slow today..

Josh sighed and pocketed the whistle. He closed his eyes and wondered how he could get squid ink without letting the water touch it. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. His thoughts went back to the day when Hermione and he dueled down by the lake. "What if we freeze the lake?" Josh asked the others as he opened his eyes.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby sighed. " That's the Glasius spell Josh. She replied getting in the conversation again. She swished her wand and a goblet threw against the wall. Ruby shrugged.

[Daniella]

"Is it even possible to even do that?" she asked Josh. "And besides, I had another idea of using 'Impervius' with the ink," Daniella told him. "It might work." she said. "But if it doesn't, I guess freezing the lake is plan B."

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby watched as the goblet flew to the wall and made a smash loud sound. " Yep...the glasius spell...I looked it up last year. She replied to Josh with a sigh. She tried to ignore the goblet that smashed against the wall.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Well, they're both good ideas. You could always freeze the lake, not the squid, then get it mad at you, but it'll be stuck and unable to go after you. So it'll probably shoot ink at you, and then you can use impervius on it." Ryan said, after some though.

[Josh]

"I knew the spell, thanks." Josh said trying to sound nice. He had witnessed its power first-hand. He looked at Daniella, "Yeah, it's possible." he said remembering the day when Hermione froze the lake and everyone went skating. "I was thinking. We could wait when one of the squid's tentacles emerged from the water and freeze the lake. Then we walk across and heat the tentacle until it inks." he said, "It's a stretch though."
After hearing Ryan's suggestion, Josh sighed. "That's a good idea too."

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby sighed. " I was just trying to help. She replied getting fed up since she had been kicked out of the conversation. She took another bite from the red apple and sighed. She couldn't be bothered to talk to Josh anymore since he tried to sound nice...she wasn't dum.

[Daniella]

Daniella nodded. With the depth of the lake, she didn't know it was possible to freeze the whole lake. "That's a good idea, but another problem is if we get into trouble and where does the ink come from." she said. She never knew there was so many factors with the plan Josh suggested.

[Ryan Redmond]

"Whatever you wanna do, I'll help the best I can." Ryan said to Josh, then looked down at his currently incapacatated state. After hearing Ruby's comment, he shrugged, then looked at her with raised eyebrows. Josh hadn't done anything wrong that he could tell. "It comes from underneath, between the tentacles, right?" he asked.

[Ruby Rebel]

Ruby saw ryan looked at her. She gave another flick of her wand and another goblet went flying to the wall. She sank into her seat and watched the pop spill on the walls goldness. She just wanted to hid behind a book at the moment but since she read most books she sighed.
