'In the Meantime...Something for Fun' Cont..

[Lauren]

(Hey guys. Sorry I've been away, NaNo and exams and relatives dropping dead and all that. Anything happen that I should know of?))

[Nicci]

(Hey Lozzy, No need to apologise. Everyone is allowed to be busy and i'm very sorry to hear about your nan. We have just continued from where we left off after the skip ahead, before i think Vixie, Leilani and Shawn were in the RoR trying to turn Lance back from being a frog. So it's up to you to decide if they found a cure or haven't yet, I can work with either according to what you decide)

[Lauren]

(Is Juliet with them?))

[Nicci]

(No she is alone somewhere but I haven't said where yet since she was last in the HP dorms so if you'd like her in a new scene you are more than welcome to drag her in)

[Chris]

(Hey Lauren! Lovely reply, Nicci! I can see that Serena is very uncomfortable.)

Peter gave a sigh, and said, "I'm sorry you feel that way. Its probably hard to take, but I'm speaking the truth." He went on, "I can do things that no one else can, without a wand. I'm known as the Phoenix-born, while there is someone known as the Dragon-born, and her name is Dragona. From what Leuce told me when she pulled me back to the 1600's to speak to me, the world will suffer as long as Dragona is allowed to reign." Standing up, Peter then said, "Please don't think of yourself as getting in the way." He could tell that she was feeling awkward, but he wanted her to not feel that way, if possible. "If you'll excuse me, I just want to get a bird's eye view."

Taking a deep breath and letting it out, Peter lept in the air and transformed into his phoenix form as he came down a few inches before taking flight. The air flowed past him, and he plotted a path over the forest, not sure if he could see anything. Just because his magic couldn't penetrate the canopy, doesn't mean he can't see something.

As Peter took flight, Alex saw him fly off, and so decided to go to where Serena was. Grabbing Seth, Alex headed over to where Serena was. Alex wasn't going to let Seth's awkwardness run the expedition amok here. For all Alex knew, Serena was coming along, and if so, it could be a long hike. Alex cleared his throat as they neared her, and asked, "hi Serena. What's up?"

[Nicci]

Serena was left with her mouth agape and stuttering a simple “Oh..kay” after Peter had finished another round of spewing seemingly crazy information that to any ‘normal’ person would have sounded totally ridiculous. Who the hell now was Leuce? And why was it not allowed to rain?

In total unexpected fright, Serena stumbled backwards and landed with a heavy thud on the grass as Peter who was once standing closely in front of her shot up into the air and sped off in a colourful blur towards the forest. If her brain wasn’t already firing questions out at top speed it was now working in overdrive…
Left to stare blankly at the sky momentarily, Serena couldn’t help but feel frozen to the spot. And people thought she was freaky being able to transform into a hideous beast in secret whilst Peter up’s and leaves right before your eyes….what was the world coming to?

“Peter…I think” she found herself replying out loud before realising that Alex and Seth had returned. Snapping back to reality, she bolted to her feet and hastily dusted herself down before attempting to seriously confront the two young men standing before her.
“Ignoring all of HIM up there for a moment..” Serena began to them both gesturing with a pointed finger to the sky and then dropping it directly at Seth “Do you do the short walk away after every apology just for dramatic effect?”
Noticing Seth’s expression, Serena chuckled and realised for once she had failed. She couldn’t possibly keep a straight face after what she had just outrageously seen happen.

[Chris]

Peter didn't realize that he left Serena in an epic 'what-the' moment. In the mean time, Alex watched Serena fall backward, and just stare at the sky. In answering his question, Serena gave him a reply that made logical sense. Following her line of sight, Alex smiled and nodded. "That would be our dear friend Peter. He has a tendency to just do impromptu stuff like this."

Seth hadn't thought about the 'short-walk after apologizing' until now. He wasn't used to this kind of situation, since he usually knew what to say when. Now all of a sudden, Alex had began to take Seth's role. Serena's chuckle just broke the tension that was initially building up, and Alex patted Seth on his back. Alex continued, "did Peter explain the details of what he has to do? I bet a lot of it would have gone way over your head. It did for us too. Peter is the phoenix-born. What you saw when he transformed...is a phoenix. We're still waiting on a few others to come down, and for Peter to come back before we depart."

[Nicci]

“I wish he had warned me about it first” Serena jokily commented to Alex, still wearing a smile “And if you call bombarding me with names, details and outrageous ideas then yeah..I can whole heartedly say he explained EVERYTHING”.
Nodding at Alex informing her that they were still waiting for others to join them, Serena turned once again to face Seth and knew that she had to say something as he hadn’t taken her joke.

“Seth, I’m sorry…” she began hanging her head slightly in shame “I am the one that should have apologised to you, at the end of the day it wasn’t any of my business and I shouldn’t have got involved…I only thought I had your best interests at heart..as a friend. I’m still very grateful that you came with me to Diagon Alley last week regardless of what happened and I hope that my presence here wont make you feel uncomfortable”

[Chris]

Alex chuckled. "Peter sometimes forgets that we aren't all on the same wavelength as he. Just because he understands something, doesn't mean we all will."

Seth gave a small smile, before extending his hand to her, "let's let bygones be bygones." It didn't matter anymore. Why did he let it bother him?

Erin glanced in the mirror and winced, her face looked positively haggard, she was worrying too much. She dropped her letter to Kyle into her bag "I'll send it later", she could see the gryffindors outside the window... rolling her eyes she closed it to blot out their blethering.

She thought back to the night Olli fell, so much had happened and she'd never really got to talk to Ganny about it properly after. She wasn't even sure he'd want to talk about it, his transformation... it was illegal after all.

Grabbing her skincare potions she started to scrub her face, all the while debating the best way to bring it up. Would he rather she just came out and say it? Or should I wait and see if he alludes to it. He mightn't even think it's a big deal... She glanced at the time and grabbed her notes, she wanted to have everything ready early.

Lyn saw something flash up into the air, not far away. Startled she pointed her wand in the direction, then backed away as she realised it was a phoenix.

Looking over to were it came from she saw a dark haired girl fall to the floor, she dashed over the 50 or so meters "Hey are you ok?" She called, then seen the girl had started to laugh and joke as some of the gryffindors started to chat to her so she slowed to a skid and walked the last few steps "What just happened???"

[Nicci]

Skidding around a corridor corner, Kalina continued to pursue the Ocelot patronus narrowly avoiding a collision with a polished suit of armour on her route. Still concerned that Lia could be in trouble, Kalina watched the spotted tail of the large feline bob up and down ahead of her before taking a sharp right though a heavy closed door.
<So this is it> she thought, stopping to catch her breath and placing a gentle hand up to the wooden door. Confused by the faint rumbling that was vibrating from the room beyond, Kalina pulled out her wand from her pocket and brandished it confidently in her right hand.
<One…Two..Three!!> “DON’T WORRY LIA” Kalina yelled courageously hiding any hints of fear before turning the doorknob and pushing the door inwards.
There wasn’t anything that could have braced her for what she saw on the other side of the door, the colour in Kalina’s face drained to an uneasy shade of pale as she dropped to her knees in sheer relief.

[Jazzie C]

Lia looked up, eyes wide. 'Worry? Why would I be worried? Who have you been talking to? What were they saying?' Seeing Kalina crumple to the floor in relief she stopped in her tracks. 'Never mind.' She waved away the patronus. 'Why are you waving your wand around?' She leaned down and looked Kalina in the face, raising an eyebrow before pulling her to her feet.

'Again, not the point; look! Isn't it great! I've got the printing presses working again!Check it out!' She brandished a paper in Kalina's face. 'I did an introductory sheet!' She squealed excitedly. 'You in?' She looked her friend in the face eagerly, before wiping her ink stained hands on an old cloth, which she cast into a corner. She grinned sheepishly at Kalina, who was still catching her breath and staring in amazement at Lia.
