Potterheads Unite! discussion

A square plot of land by the Forbidden Forest and to the right of Hagrid's Hut, as shown by the student's title for it there are many pumpkin's and a bench or two by the forest's edge. One more is hanging between a hard maple and a Chinese elm right by the forest which offers a clear and pretty view of the grounds.

((Role-Play here))

Andi walked through the pumpkin patch, holding her sweatshirt close around her. She loved coming here now that the weather was cooling off.

Siobhn clambered up onto the great swing above the pumpkin patch and as she sat one leaf fell on her bound hair and she stretched her legs out stiff from climbing up the tree. Of course there was a rope ladder...she thought wryly and looked below to see Andi.
She waved and grinned "Hey Andi!" she called.

Andi glanced up and waved, smiling. "Hey Siobhan!" She said and walked by the swing. "How've you been?"

Siobhan indicated the huge swing "Join me?" she asked as she schooched over a little bit on the feet-long swing. "Good." she laughed a little "Life's been confusing though," a tiny blush had appeared with a high note to her voice. Zach.

Andi climbed onto the swing, happily joining her. "Oh yeah? How so?" She asked curiously.

Siobhan placed her hands in her lap and turned to her friend with a sigh "Beware," she said "this is going to include me acting like a sap." a half-embarrassed glint was in her eye "Over boys." she finished and waited for Andi's reaction somewhat anxiously.

Andi smiled. Her eyes showed her excited feeling. "Tell me!" She demanded curiously.

Siobhan smiled, she couldn't help it and started to tell of the previous night, the observatory, that darisay charming conversation with Zach, and her own fancying of that before-mentioned boy, she finished and looked back from the pumpkins where she was relentlessly staring.
Two spots of pink colored her cheeks "Yes?" she said a little hastily.

"That's great, Siobhan! Good for you! He sounds sweet." She smiled and nudged her, the intention encouraging. "Why don't you meet up with him again?"

Siobhan laughed "Oh I doubt that he would be that-" she paused "My god, what a cliche, honestly ever could I have said that he probably didn't want to?" she shook her head and chuckled "Cripes. I'm sorry I don't mean to seem self-centered." she started self-consciously.

((Sorry for the late response once more :|))

Andi shook her head. "You're fine! And I think you should see him again." She said.

((It's totally fine!))

Siobhan coughed a little awkwardly and blushed harder "Perhaps." she concurred and glanced back up to the grounds, in the afternoon it was spread with the courtyards and viaduct dominating the west and the castle rising above tall. She caught sight of another figure making its way up the grounds towards the Forbidden Forest.

((Mind if Zach shows up? Andi would stay naturally...so she can giggle and stuff :P))

((Ahhhhhh yes!!))

Andi smiled and glanced around them. "It's so nice here. I love-"

She was cut off by a yell. "Siobhan!" Zach yelled again, waving. He walked over to them and smiled. "Hey." He said to Siobhan. Then he turned to Andi. "Hi. I'm Zach!"

Andi smiled and nudged Siobhan secretively and smiled. "I'm Andi."

"Nice to meet you." He said. He took Siobhan's hand and kissed it. Then he blushed. "Oh, um, family tradition. The guy kisses the girl's hand..."

((Okay! I've got to get off now so good night!))

Siobhan was about to second that motion when a sudden yell startled her, she smiled as Andi elbowed her, ah, friends.
She coughed a little "I know," she smiled again this time at Zach, "What hole did you spring from now?" she asked the words slipping off her tongue naturally. Eugh. She thought.

Zach laughed. "One I dug myself." He joked, looking up at her. She was beautiful, like she was several nights ago.

Siobhan rolled her eyes swiftly but in clear view "Witty." she said smirking and abruptly it seemed that the stars were right near her, shining with hot light that illuminated-she scolded herself to stop with the metaphor. There was no reason to be silly she thought. She looked back and caught Andi's eye for a moment.

Andi smiled and looked between the two. "I guess I'll leave you two alone now." She gave Siobhan a small smile and nodded at Zach. "Nice to meet you!" She jumped down from the swing. Once she was behind Zach's back she gave Siobhan two thumbs up before walking back to the castle.

Siobhan repressed a snicker at Andi's gesture. Instead she waved, calling "Bye Andi!" Lucky she was so tall when jumping, the swing alone was close to ten feet above the ground.
Siobhan looked back to Zach and smiled "So did you have a nice morning?" she asked cheerfully, and tiny bit awkwardly.

Zach smiled. "Very nice thank you. And you?" He asked. Then he gestured to the swing. "Mind if I join?"

Siobhan looked between the swing and Zach and grinned "Not bad." she responded and allotted "You may." and out of politeness reached down to help him clamber up, her heart seemed to thump in her ears as she did so.

Zach took her hand and helped himself up. He sat right next to her and looked around with wide eyes. "This is really cool."

She nodded "Isn't it. Have you been here before?" she asked and laughed quietly "My conversation can't be the most exciting can they?" she remarked self-deprecatingly.

"I have. But it seems like this year the season is more beautiful than it has been for a while." He smiled at her. "And you're conversations are quite interesting. I enjoy being a part of them."

((Must...eat...lunch...Shoot Andi. I hate to go but today is going to be one thing after the next and I might not be able to post much...))

((Haha it's all good! Talk to ya later!))

((Later is...NOW! And here I am refreshed after the library thank goodness))

Siobhan shifted in her seat sprawled out with her legs slanted in a relaxed way so she could talk to Zach more easily, her feet were clad in silky slippers, of the sort you would expect leprechauns to wear. "I agree." she concurred, the leaves, green in the mild summer were rustling above them and suddenly Siobhan was glad Andi had left them.
She hadn't felt like this since-"Oh, oh thank you," she said surprised "Glad you like to talk as much as I!" she smirked easily and leaned against the swing's back closing her eyes a little and just enjoying the moment.

Zach laughed. "It is very exciting and fun. I was wondering, Siobhan, would you like to have a meal with me?" He asked.

Siobhan looked wry for a second and when his question came cocked her head "Er, pardon me?" she asked a little puzzled, "pardon?" she said again.

Zach was a bit nervous about asking her out. But he took a breath and tried again. "Would you like to go on a date with me?"

Siobhan drew in her breath sharply "Oh..." she breathed softly and a whirl of emotions pressed on her heart, Judas, but no, Zach, she was overjoyed, nostalgic, sad, she smiled and all of those feelings had came through unbidden and changed her expression, she took a breath "I would. It would," she added hastily "Be my first of course."

Zach's face lit up. "Really?" He said.

Siobhan smiled into Zach's brown eyes with their gray like mist "Really." she answered.

Zach smiled. "I'm so glad." He said and hugged her, the swing moving a bit.

((Holy sudden display of emotion Batman!))


Siobhan gasped and stiffened for a moment before she hugged Zach back. After a moment she withdrew and with pinkened face smiled as the swing rocked under them at the very edge of the Forbidden Forest.

((Haha yeah Zach really likes her!))

Zach smiled and hopped down, then offered a hand up to her. "Come on, then." He said sweetly.

Siobhan straightened her robes and with perilous balance stood on the swing and launched herself to the ground the impact absorbed. Only then did she take Zach's hand and smile back her straight hair like embers on her shoulders, in the sunlight "Lead on."

((Ohhhhh....his name is Zach is it?))

((Huh?))

Zach held her hand as they walked to the lake.

((To the lake! I has an idea!))

((*cough* *cough* *hack*Gallagher Girls*cough cough*))

((Great! I'll post Andi))

Becca, Rachael, Victor and Michael all decided to meet up in the pumpkin patch. Rachael was sitting on some pumpkins while talking with Michael and Victor.

Becca stormed in, angrily. Victor and Michael watched their angry cousin sit on one of the pumpkins and went to sit with her. "What's wrong, Rebecca?" Victor asked his cousin with concern. "Nothing," she answered furiously. "There is something wrong, Rebecca. You're my dear sister. I can feel it," Michael told her. "Nothing is wrong okay?!" She yelled at the both of them and jumped an a high limb of a tree, put of sight from everyone. Rachael frowned at her mother and hugged Victor close.

Becca was walking through the pumpkin patch admiring the cold weather.

As Becca was walking through the pumpkin patch, she noticed that the mood of the day changed. It suddenly became very dark and foggy. She pulled her jacket close to her body and started to walk back to the Hospital Wing, when she saw her brother standing on a pumpkin. "Michael? Is that you?" She asked him. He jumped from the pumpkin and walked over to her for a hug. While in the hug, he whispered, "Imperio," and then she fell to the ground, lifeless and emotionless. He took her wand and pointed at her with his. "You will do as I say, and make sure no one knows that you work for me. Once off the curse, you will remember nothing, and defend your brother, Michael," he replied with a smirk, "and now, I want you to go find your husband, tell him you want a divorce and come straight back to me." Becca finally got up from the floor and went to search for John.

Summer walked through the pumpkin patch no real place in mind.

Gen sat on the seat, feet swinging not even near the seven feet to the ground thinking of her cousins, it was evening and the tips of the Forbidden Forest from the castle was lit with yellow-gold.
She smiled at her memories and a twig crunched. Gen looked down already starting to smile in greeting "Hallo Summer!" she called.

Summer turned around. "Oh, hello!" she called out.

((sorry I thook so long in responding, I was eating dinner but I'm back now!))

((It's no prob, I had some stuff to do anyways!))

Gen smiled, actually smiled instead of the polite-how-do-you-do smile before, "How are you, Sum?" she asked , her full face cheerful.

"Eh, the usual." she shrugged. "Classes, teachers, annoyance from boys." she grinned

Gen grinned broadly shaking red hair from her face where it accumulated in waves. "I know how that is." she said with feeling. "Any in particular?" she asked Summer with a inquisitive look, trying not to laugh.

"Naw, not really." Summer said shaking her head
