"Oi." The boy called out, in a voice not unlike his enemy. He was stunned that the furniture turned into geese. What happened here? Noah knew a untransfiguration spell, called Reparifarge, but he thought it might be a good idea just to try to catch a goose first, to see if he could reverse the transfigured creature. Noah looked around, he spotted a... Ravenclaw female, as it seems. She was running around, attempting to catch the blasted birds.

Noah noticed, he jumped, trying to land on a goose, even if he had to flatten it, he would've caught it either way. He successfully landed on one, the feeling of success quickly drained from his face when he heard an odd sound coming from the goose. HONK!

Noah shrieked, girly, and tried to cast Reparifarge as well as he could, but he kept squinting, and got up and paced the room a little. The funny sounds of every squeak his shoes made, now scared him. Trying to get it over with, he cried out, "reh-PAR-i-farj!" Noah rolled his wrist, attempting to let the goose turn back into a furniture, whatever it was in the first place. Could it be that Noah was scared of Geese, or was it birds?

Noah put the words to one of his many phobias, apart. Ornithophobia, or better known as the Fear of Birds.

Noah Jupe failed the rolls. Wisdom was 11, Arcane Power was 10, Accuracy was 8. All critical fails.

Noah jumps back, his hand vibrated. Truly, the goose was a monster beyond doubt.

Earl hadn't quite expected to spend his afternoon slowly leading geese back to the transfiguration classroom. The ziplock bag full of treats he carried around (mostly for the pygmy puffs) had become nearly empty, bread and crackers serving as bribes to lure the geese back. But what had begun as an admittedly silly mistake had spiraled into utter chaos as feathers and loud honks floated down the hallways.

Dear reader, don't get me wrong, Earl absolutely loved chasing geese down hallways and narrowly avoiding stepping in their excrement. However, after a light coat of sweat had started glistening on his skin, he'd given up pretty quickly. Geese were cute, but his clothes were cuter.

So what had he done? It was a strategy he liked to call 'Fire on sight'. According to Murphy's Principals, he was never gonna find the geese if he spent time looking for them. Therefore, the only logical thing to do was wonder through the halls, talking to other students and keeping an eye out for black and gray feathers. As soon as they appeared (and they always managed to find him), he'd whip out his wand and cast a Reparifarge. The chair, table, beanbag, whatever, would clatter to the floor with one last insulted honk. And from there on it was just a Wingardium Leviosa all the way back to the classroom. It was working out pretty well, if he could say so himself.

"Coming throoooouugh" he hollered as he guided three chairs though the door to the transfiguration classroom. They were hovering in the air above his head, held up by magic and sheer determination. "Chairs-turned-geese-turned-chairs are coming through!" No one seemed to pay him any mind, which was understandable considering the sheer amount of chaos. But if someone got up and smacked their head on a floating chair, they couldn't say he hadn't warned them.

What he hadn't counted on was a geese sized bundle of fury to speed past him, giving a vicious glare and hiss in his direction for good measure, wings flapping about as if someone had threatened to turn it into dinner. Earl paused.

Maybe he should have been a vegetarian.

The momentary distraction was all our tiny demons needed. A few which had been cornered in the classroom attempted to escape, squacking a great deal and getting up real close and personal. Earl should have probably been a tad more worried, seeing as the beasts came up to his waist.

"There there, I know you're scared" he cooed, setting the chairs down carefully and slamming the door closed with his heel. "It's been an exhausting morning for you girlies hasn't it. Settle down now I'm not here to hurt you."

A nearby goose attempted to take a bite out of his arm, and got rewarded with a Reparifarge to the face. The next goose (or table, rather) wasn't quite as brave.

It was only after the geese had all been fed his last cracker and then turned back into furniture that Earl turned around and pressed down on the doorhandle. Nothing. It didn't budge.

"Oh fluff"

The door was locked.

Today was supposed to be a chill day, he was supposed to be sitting across from Earl in a picnic or something. But he wasn't because he was pulled into a wild goose chase with Noah, Earl, and a girl Michael didn't really know.

Michael was humming as he looked for a goose, most already caught. He had seen Earl with 3 chairs, which goose already caught. The boy had seen one goose, himself, small in size. He was able to corner it and turn it back, before carrying the small basket around as he continued the search for the slowly decrease bundle of geese.

"Noah, Earl, where are you guys" he called as he walked down the corridor, basket under his arm. He had just seen Earl, where could he have disappeared off to. Michael furrowed his brows and took the basket back to where this all started.

After that was done, he turned on the hunt for most feathered things. It took him a couple minutes to find another one, the goose being somewhat distracted by a painting with geese yelling as the real, well 3D, goose looks on. Michael wondered if he would be able to cast the spell before the goose ran off. "Reparifarge," he said softly, as his eyes locked on to the bird, which turned it's neck to look at him immediately after he talked. He smiled as he turned back into a small desk.

He was pretty good as goose hunting, 2 geese wasn't a bad total. Michael walked back to put the desk up, passing the girl (@Clair Fernandez) on the way. "I'm Michael, by the way. I don't think we formally meet?" He said as he put the desk up. He raised a brow. "Do you need help turning the geese back?" He didn't think the young girl had any spells, or at least not the one they were using. "If you want you can find them and I can spell them back?" He offered smiling softly at her.

Still shrilly shrieking, he knew that people who know him so well, would recognize Noah's scream. Often times, if his brothers were chasing the geese with him, they would playfully pick on Noah Jupe until he shrieked. That was what they seemed to find interest in. Truly, it was funny, but who knew? Noah's violent screaming seemed to attract two more geese.

"AHHHH! GEESE! HELP! RAVENCLAW GIRL HELP ME!" Noah didn't bother to ask about names as it was pointless when Noah was terrified. "MICHAEL! MICHAEL! PLEASE HELP! I'M SCARED OF BIRDS!" Noah was wondering, slightly impulsively, why he joined this quest that included Noah's phobia. It was embarassing, but indeed, Noah reluctantly decided to jump into the Ravenclaw girl's arm as the light second year boy of Gryffindor continued to scream. Noah was petrified. He stumbled, his wand fell out of his hand.

It was sad that Noah didn't know how to cast any wandless spell, or he would've done the summoning charm without his wand. He whispered to the girl, "Do you know Incendio yet?" He asked terrifyingly and curiously at the same time. "If you haven't, now would've been a good time to learn that spell!" Noah said in a hushed whisper.

Michael quickly spelled the birds into their respective object before moving to Noah, cupping his cheek and gently making him look up at him. "Hey, It's okay, I changed them all back, you're safe," He said softly. He stepped back, letting the boy's cheek go, ignoring the fact a blush was slowly staining his cheeks. "Let's find Earl, and make sure he's okay." He said at a normal volume, he turned to look at the girl, "Did you see him anywhere? See the direction he went in?"

The last thing he needed was too lost Earl and have the boy be scared or hungry or something for hours, and he didn't want to risk Earl being hurt because of the wild geese. He went to walk away, to search through the rooms down the hall, before stepping back and grabbing Noah's hand. "Don't want you to get lost too" He said offhandedly. He was smiling slightly as he started to search the rooms, before coming to one that was locked. He knocked on it a couple of times. "Earl, you in there?" he called, not wanting to unlock the door if it was keeping something end he didn't want. Hopefully, Earl would show up.

Still screaming, but softer than what it was, Noah began to calm down. Michael cupped his cheeks, telling Noah that he has changed the geese all back. Noah was embarrassed, but what could you do if you had a phobia of birds? Michael gripped his hands tightly, and tugged him.

"Michael." The boy asked, almost to the level where his talking would be considered whispering. "Where are we going? I don't like birds. I- I mean. Thank you for, uh, saving me from those birds. I don't suppose you want to hear about why I'm so scared of birds?"

Noah paused, his eyes pink. His nose appeared to be raised as if Noah was truly scared. "I- uh- when I was younger, Wally, my older brother, locked me out of the house because I invaded his stuff." Noah blushed with embarrassment. "When I was outside, my dads forbade me from leaving our yard, as Muggle transportation is too high speed and could kill me. So, I sat out in the yard and I saw some interesting creatures, they had wings, and I got closer, slowly, then one of the birds bit me with his sharp beak, then the rest of them took flight and the noise terrified me. Even though Wally was punished for doing so, I still have nightmares about them."

Earl panicked for about 0.5 seconds. That was the time it took him to remember that he was, in fact, a wizard. And he did, in fact, own a wand. Which, incidentally, he knew how to use fairly well. He was no longer seven and getting locked in the shed for being too loud.

Rolling his eyes at the momentary animalistic panic, he willed his heart to slow down. Chairs-turned-geese-turned-chairs got stacked neatly against the wall, and given a dusting and splash of sanitizer from inside Earl's bag.

It was around the time he finished that a great deal of screaming and commotion sprang into existence outside the transfig class doors. "I'm in here" he called out, tapping the doorhandle with the tip of his wand, and muttering 'Alohomora' very quietly.

The door sprang open, nearly hitting a teary Noah in the face. "Oh geeze, my bad," Earl said, pushing the door against the wall with the palm of his hand. The guy was already crying, he didn't need a broken nose on top of that. "I think we're about done." he sighed, casting one last untrasfiguration spell in the direction of the last goose. It clattered to the floor, turning to a blackboard cloth. "And not that geese aren't cute...but I think I've had my fill of them for the year."

Digging through his bag, he pulled out a bottle of singing ginseng tea, and four plastic cups. "It's a bit cold, but I've got tons if you want some," he said, offering each of the kids a cup. "I'd give you guys cookies as well, but the geese ate all of them..."
