Friends From Places FINISHED

Blake explained to Cassie that he was not sure about the relation between Gaelic and Latin, "Sound like those two are Latin to me"Cassie briefly answered. The hall come more alive as some others student enter the premises.

From where Cassie sat, some of the students they know from their house sat at the Slytherin table and look at them like 'why that they sitting with Ravenclaws?' and one of the student they know beckon them to sit with them. Cassie make a shoo motion with their hand. At this moment, they did not really care 'bout what their house acquaintances think of them.

Then Blake suggest about throwing the dungbombs into the red and yellow clad student's common room which Cassie think it is hilarious. They let out a quite loud laugh but when they realize other students look at where they seated, they just raised their eyebrow intentionally to challenge whomever dare to say anything about their reaction.

"Yeah! we are friends, lad"Cassie stated to Blake's question about the three of them being friends. Meanwhile Lizzie shoveled the cereal that she is eating into her mouth. Lizzie also said it might take awhile to adjust regarding Cassie's requested. "Thanks! I appreciate it"Cassie grateful that Lizzie did not asking a lot of question regarding Cassie choice of pronoun.

Lizzie also said the three of them should stayed around a bit and played as a victim too. "But I do not think I could hold a straight face, though"Cassie told the group then let out a chuckle. Lizzie then pulled out the parchment she was scribbling on before and turned so Blake can read it while Cassie is the same stated like Lizzie which read it upside down since Cassie sat beside the blonde girl, still Cassie could read what Lizzie had written on the parchment.

Lizzie explained it briefly how it will make and what the ingredients for the dungboms are made of. Lizzie also stated it will not be the same as the one from Hogsmeade and will asks her brothers to send for the rest of the year.

While listening to Lizzie, Cassie read the list of ingredients for the dungbombs and Cassie had no clue whatsoever about it. Good think Lizzie and Blake are Ravenclaw, they are smart for sure. "I predict this will be epic"Cassie grin mischiefly and exclaimed to both of the Eagles.

Blake himself smiled at the confidence Cassie had in the plan. It was a good plan, just as long as nothing went wrong and no one caught wind of what they had planned before they could carry out their innocent but effective hit on the Gryffindor students.

"If my sister was older, I coulda jus given her the spending money ta go ta Hogsmaid and buy us Dungballs,"He sighed, so close to having a definitive way of obtaining the smelly prank from it's original source. But half the fun would be getting it ready together.

"Bu it'll be even more fun ta get it ta together over time, also gives us more time ta work out a strategy in the mean time," he went on, his mind racing ahead of him as he began to dream up the perfect time to unleash such a prank. Cassie had a point when she mentioned not smelling themselves up, Blake doubted he could no further stop himself from turning bright red then Cassie could hold back her own laughter. No, he would give them away with his cursed blush that seemed to always appear he wanted it least. A wicked smile grew across his features as an idea struck him.

"We should set it off after dinner before Christmas break tha way they all go home smellin like a dungball an we're all already long gone so it canno be pinned to us!"He offered, his eyes flickering wildly with excitement as he began peeling an orange. The sharp citrus aroma did little to calm down his clear excitement as he popped a few peeled wedges into his mouth.

Lizzie pushed the bowl away from her and it disappeared as soon as she let go of it. Woah that's so cool. A smile jumped onto her face and she made eye contact with Blake. It was uncomfortable for a while because Lizzie was trying to figure out what to say.

"Uhhh... it's very unfortunate that I'm the oldest." Lizzie sighed after finally finding the WRONG words to say. Lizzie could have said so much more that actually sounded intellectual. She smiled (While trying not to show the disappointment in her head) and then turned the parchment around to face her and Cassie.

Lizzie then crossed her arms over her body and listened to Blake taling about how to will be more fun trying to make the dungbomb over time. "Your right. It will be more fun and we will be causing more trouble as well. I think we may need to 'borrow' some things from room mates and classrooms. I'm not sure." She raised her fingers and did speech marks over the word borrow and then chuckled. Her room mates will would never be getting back the things Lizzie took.

"That's an even better idea. I think we should go a bit earlier from Dinner since we don't want to miss them and get a teacher instead. We wait near the Gryffindor Common Room and then once it has been throw with all the Gryffindors near pretend to never know anything. If you can't hold in a laugh or turn bright red. I'll do the talking and get us out of detention." Lizzie grinned. This plan really was coming together and it was the first time they had all met together. I just know this will be a successful prank and friendship.

@Blake Bayne @Cassandra Ironwoods

When Lizzie pushed her cereal bowl away and it vanished, Lizzie had amazement on her face. Cassie chuckle at that. "Never seen magic so up close, do you?"Cassie stated because of what they seen earlier. Lizzie mention that she is the oldest in her family and Blake stated that if his sister was older, he could just gave the money to his sister to go to Hogsmeade and buy the Dungballs.

"I did not know you have a sibling attended here as well, Blake. Is she the same year like us?"Cassie inquires. "Unfortunately I am an only child in my family so there goes our plan to buy dungbombs from Hogsmeade"Cassie told the group. Blake said to the group it will be much more fun if the three of them get together over time and also give the three of them time to concoct and work out a perfect strategy for the three Firs Year to unleashed the plan.

Blake claimed that the three off them should set it off after dinner before the Chrismast break. That way the three of them already long gone and no one accused the three of them for doing it so. Lizzie agreed upon this and if Cassie can not hold their laughter or Blake's face turn bright red, Lizzie will be the one that taking the responsible to do the talking and to get three of them out of detention.

When the others mentioning Christmas break, Cassie face become somber. They hated going home on holiday and celebrate Christmas alone. The Ironwoods Manor always empty that time of the year since their dad will be going abroad because of his job and their mom would be likely stayed at the hospital until no more emergency cases rolled into the hospital.

"I am afraid this Christmas I have to stay at the castle, I did not feel like going home to an empty Manor"Cassie said. "But both of you are welcome to stay at my home since I will have the Manor by myself and I think it would be fun to celebrate Christmas with both of you"Cassie try to smile and not look too sad about it. "I know both of you probably have plans with your parents, so no pressure"Stated Cassie while looking at Blake and Lizzie.

@Lizzie Verdine | @Blake Bayne

At the prospect of a new adventure, visiting Cassie at their manor, Blake straightened himself.

"Aye, I'll have ta ask my Mum and Da bu I can see bout comin ta visit over Christmas break! My siblings usually get ta go round an see their friends so I'll ask my Da. My older sister Maggie is a student here as well bu she's only in third year. She's a HufflePuff like my Mum so I donna see her verra much at school,"He explained pleasantly, excited at the prospect of getting to see his friends outside of school. Blake's Nan, Rebecca Bayne, always hosted the family Christmas celebration at the Bayne Family Estate just outside Aberdeen. The estate appeared almost Gothic in design but thanks to magic well beyond Blake's knowledge, the grand estate appeared more modern from the road. One evening, while visiting his Nan, he'd woken up from his sleep needing a glass of water to wash the stale taste out of his mouth. Upon descending the grand oak staircase, he had heard his Da and his Nan tucked up in the parlor room chatting. With a house full of sleeping relatives, cousins, aunts, uncles and all, Blake had just about turned to head back up the stairs when he paused. The two had been having what Blake's Da called an 'adult conversation' but they seemed to be talking about something Blake had never heard before. They were discussing something called a "passing of the estate" and his Nan seemed to be arguing with his Da. Too scared to confront either party, Blake had run off to bed and had never asked about it again.

He was brought back to moment, no longer trapped in his day-dream like memory, by Lizzie explaining she would gladly do the talking if they were to get caught.
"Sounds better than lettin me ramble and fumble on ta tha professors until my face is tha same color as tha Gryffindor robes,"He smiled cheekily and shook his head slightly. One of these days his cursed blush would get him in serious trouble. He could only hope that day wouldn't be the same day they pulled off the prank.

@Lizzie Verdine @Cassandra Ironwoods

When Cassie had asked about going to their's for Christmas, Lizzie beamed and sat up straight. She would obviously be wanting to go. Her parents already had enough on their plate meaning they would happily take Lizzie off it as well.

"I can go. I'll need to owl my parents first. I'm sure they will say yes." Lizzie grinned poured herself yet another pumpkin juice. Then taking it up her her lips as she watched more students walk into the Great Hall. She laughed after hearing Blake take about how his face would go the same color as Gryffindor red.

"Talking my way out of things is easy. I've had to do it since I was one. I mean my brothers always blamed me for everything I had to adapt somehow." She said and then took a sip. She thought back to the day where her brothers had broken her mothers vase and they blamed it on Lizzie.

Lizzie decided to step up her game by learning ways to get around the subject and subconsciously blame someone else without the other person knowing. After a while her mother and father figured out what she was doing and called her 'manipulative' but in a good way. They said that would help her with future jobs and what not.

I always knew I was going to need this talent. She thought grinning to herself.

@Cassandra Ironwoods @Blake Bayne

Cassie knitted their eyebrows as they heard what Blake said about visiting them during Christmas break. "Blake, lad! I have to be honest with ya. Your Scottish accent sometimes confused me but I understand what you said"Cassie scratch their neck and let out a small chuckles. "No offense"Cassie added.

Blake explained that his sister is a Third Year and a Hufflepuff just like his mom once. The Ravenclaw table by now almost full, Blake and Lizzie's housemate looked at Cassie like their are mental. "Uh, do I need to go to my table? I do not think the others eagles are welcoming like both of you"Cassie stated after they saw some of the Ravenclaw gave Cassie the stink eye even though they did not do anything wrong.

Usually Cassie do not care about this kind of things and it would not bother them, but since their friendship with Blake and Lizzie just start to blossom into something dare they say special, Cassie did not want any confrontation or make their new friends feel uncomfortable even for the slightless.

Then Blake made a remark regarding his red face the same color as the lion and the lioness. Cassie can not help to let out a loud laugh. Lizzie on the other hand immediately saying yes about Cassie invitation for the Christmas break. She just need to owl her parents first regarding to that matter. "Seriously if it up to me, the three of us will get caught before it even begin.

Usually I am good at hiding my emotion but since so many people will become the victims of our prank, I do not think I am equipped to handle my laughter. But do not you think it will much fun if we get caught, though? But risking to lost house point is something I need to think it through. Since it was a harmless prank, why not"Cassie said regarding Lizzie that the one will do the talking to the professors if they got caught.

Lizzie said something about how talking her way out of things is her forte. She also mentioned how she already done it since her early age. Lizzie also told Blake and Cassie how her brothers always blame her for something she did not do.

"That's settle then. On Christmas break, both of you will come to my Manor. Any request for the dishes? I can cook for both of you"Cassie stated. The prospect of having Blake and Lizzie come over for Christmas, Cassie feel thrilled and can not hardly wait for that holiday.

I am trying to change my speech color from the usual green I always use into teal. Color code : #008080 (teal)

"I'll eat anything, I'm an easy house guest,"Blake smiled kindly at Cassie. Blake had never been as fussy or particular as his siblings, a comforting trait he had inherited from his Mum who was equally as easy-going. "Whatever ya make will be a treat,"he went on, the prospect of home-cooking sounding incredible. The castle food was amazing as well, far better then the cafeteria lunches he had eaten during his muggle school years but he had began to miss the taste of a home-cooked dinner or three.

"Gettin caught would be a rush that's for sure but I'm not entirely sure I'd want everyone ta know it was me who lost points. Seems like an easy way ta get black-listed by fellow housemates,"Blake went on uneasily. Black-listed was a term he had heard his Da use a few times that he had learned after finally asking what it meant. It had sounded like an ominous word and he been somewhat correct but he was enjoying the opportunity to finally use it in a sentence. Blake had chosen to step lightly around the topic of his house being less then welcoming to Cassie seated with them. His Mum had always told him that sometimes it was better to leave conflict out of a situation and this felt like a good time to simply ignore his house and they're behavior.

"Ya know, we could all meet in the library after dinner tonight an we could do some homework together while we plan. I dunno about you two bu I should make a dent in my Transfiguration homework,"Blake exhaled noisily at the proposition of homework but wasn't prepared to accept any grade below an A at the absolute worst and even then he knew his Mum and Da expected better and so he was trapped fumbling his way through his least-favorite class. Maybe it would less dull with his friends for company rather then the diagrams in his textbook.

@Lizzie Verdine @Cassandra Ironwoods

"I will eat anything but mushrooms." Lizzie screwed her face up and make a yuck sound. She literally was spitting facts. It was just the texture. Horrible! "I Don't care what I eat but if I find a mushroom in the food I'm out." Lizzie laughed and then reassured them that it was a joke.

"I'm sure you can stay here for a few more minutes." Lizzie said looking around. There were a few Ravenclaws looking at the constantly. She then glared at them and they quickly turned around. She smiled and turned back to Blake and Cassie.

The first-year blonde messed with buttons on her robe while Blake talked about losing points. Lizzie scrunched her eyes up and pulled at a button until it finally popped off. Lizzie widened her eyes and tried to stealthily throw it behind her with no one noticing her, "I don't mind if people know. That means I'm getting a reputation." Lizzie grinned and nodded her head while tying to fiddle with the loose strings where her button to be.

"Yes. We should meet after Dinner. I'll get to the Library and find a table since I'm a quick eater." Lizzie smiled and pushed some hair behind her ear, "I can bring some parchment." Thank you that parchment, Joey, "I also need help on Transfiguration. I can't figure out the answer to question two or three."

She didn't really mind about what grade she got as long as it was an O, E, or A. Anything lower and she would be sure to make that teachers life a hell for at LEAST one week. She was making sure to get good grades but also have a reputation (Unknown to anyone why she would though).

@Cassandra Ironwoods @Blake Bayne

The possibility of cooking and making dishes for their two friends are endless for Cassie. Their abuela (grandma) once teach Cassie how to make some Spanish dishes. Cassie smile upon this fact.

"Right so no mushroom for you"Cassie address it to Lizzie. "And you are a easy house guest. Any particular Scottish preference? I know sometimes away from family make you homesick"Cassie stated. Cassie can tell that Blake is family oriented type of person. "Do any of you ever tried Spanish dishes? I can cook some but I need to ask mi abuelita, I mean my grandma about it first"Cassie sometimes once or twice speak Spanish since some of their housemates and the people they met in this school more or less have the same root as them also maybe they miss their grandparents.

Then Blake and Lizzie talked about getting together to work on their homework. "You both already started? I really need to stop procrastinating about the school courses. It just I still do not find the motivation to do so. Which one do I need to work on first? I mean the easiest course among all of them?"Cassie ask both the Ravenclaws. "Maybe if I watch both of you do your assignment, I will found the motivation to do the class eventually"Cassie added with a bit hesitation in their tone. I really do need to stop procrastinate my school work, Cassie thought to themself.
