To be fair, I wanted to see if it was candy!
@Henry Knight I hope this is goodJuniper looked at her purple converse, wiggling her toes inside the shoes. It had rained earlier, and there were still puddles in the grass. Of course, everyone with common sense knew what puddles were for. For this special occasion, she had put on her overalls that had smiley face patches on them. A butterfly-designed bandaid was on her knee from a recent trip. She took one look around the grounds, and then took off.
She neared the first puddle, and she crouched. "3 2 1!" She jumped in the puddle, sending water flying and bits of mud covering her legs and shoes. She didn't stop there. She ran around again, jumping in every puddle she could find. This is what puddles were for, this is why they were created. Otherwise, why would it rain?
She spotted a big puddle, and she smiled. She ran over and crouched to get ready to jump. Just as she was about to leap in the puddle, a frog hopped out in her direction. She stumbled back. "Woah!" She remembered how there were such things as chocolate frogs, the cutest things. She had been afraid to try them because she likes frogs, and she couldn't believe they were fake if they moved on their own.
"Are YOU a chocolate frog?" She asked, and the frog hopped away. In her defense, it was covered in mud and she wanted to be sure. "Come back here, you! Are you candy?" She made lunges and dives, nearing the lake as she tried to reach that fast frog.

It was a rainy day. For a few hours dark clouds covered the castle encasing it in rain.
Some would look outside and find the view to be rather gloomy. Some but not all, Henry Knight enjoyed looking out windows at the falling rain splashing and creating puddles on the ground.
Often he leaned his head against the cool glass and read. It was peaceful during the rainy days however the rain stopped and the grounds weren't as full as usual so Henry thought it would be the perfect time to explore.
The third year had on a black shirt with the word 'Sorcerer' spaced out like in a dictionary and underneath said 'noun' then the part that Henry thought was humorous. There was another, almost like a joke to a definition that said 'A sorcerer is a wizard without the hat' it was a pun shirt. The teen lacked them but thought particularly shirt would be fitting at Hogwarts.
The third year also wore grey jeans, black trainers, and a brown jacket. The jacket was mainly to hide the scar on his shoulder that he gave himself from a transformation over the last summer holiday.
The third year stepped out into the grounds with his orange feline; Loki on his shoulder. The two stood by the castle entrance for a moment as Henry examined the grounds for any of his friends to talk or sit with.
Unfortunately, he didn't seem to spot any there which meant he would be alone that day unless he went back inside to search for them. Henry was considering doing that when Loki spotted a red head girl and gave a soft meow.
The feline leaped from his owner's shoulders and trotted toward the girl, walking straight up to her and sniffing her for only a moment before giving his approval meow and asking her for attention.
Henry however looked on at his cat and smiled a little as he hid all of his emotions behind the 'barrier' only a smile present on his face as he ran over to where his feline and the unknown girl were.
"Hello, apologies for my feline," Henry called out to the girl from a few feet away and would approach her a bit close till there is only around a foot and a orange feline between them. Henry would offer the girl a small smile as he spoke" that's Loki, he seems to like you and I'm Henry," however what caught his eye was what the girl was doing before.
"Were you catching frogs?"

@Henry KnightJuniper was sure she had it this time, that frog.. that possible candy-made frog. It was trapping itself against a tree, how SILLY. She figured she could lunge and catch this thing, no problemo. She readied her muddied hands, and jumped. "Ah HA!" The frog jumped away, and she was sent tumbling to the ground, swiping at the air with her hands. If she was covered in dirt before, she sure was now. She had a smudges of dirt all over her face, as well as droplets of mud up her arms and all over her legs and shoes.
She merely brushed of a few specks of dirt carelessly as she got up, not minding the filth. Some people thought it was gross and horrible, but if Juniper knew one thing for sure, nothing nature made was gross. Except for roaches. So the dirt and mud, she didn't mind. These were the things that helped plants grow! She knew this well for she grew up on the farm, and her mother prided herself on her vegetable garden. Juniper was used to the dirt from her many adventures back in Ireland as well.
She would also try and catch frogs after it rained back at home, but she assumed that because she hasn't tried in a while, she's become a bit rusty. Just as she spotted the frog again, it's big eyes seemed to taunt her, a cat ran over. She lifted up her leg and spun around, trying not to step on the feline. "Ooop! Where did you come from?" She asked. "Random question, but are you a Warrior cat? You know, from those books?" The cat made no answer, and Juniper raised an eyebrow.
The cat did, however, become very annoying and beg for her attention. Giving in, she bent down to scratch the pet's ear. Before she did so, she wiped her hand on the clean part of her overalls. Then she pet the cat. "You know cat, I wanted a kitty at one point, but I changed my mind." She said simply.
Another boy, the owner of this cat she assumed, walked up. "Hi hi! I'm Juniper! Or Juni, June, but my friends just call me Jelly bean, because my last name is Kelly." She smiled at the boy. "Yup-a-doodle-doo! I was so close this time!" She exclaimed.

Loki seemed satisfied with the attention he received and took a seat in between the two students, away from the mud as his tail flickered back and both. Amber eyes moving between the two students as they engaged in a interaction.
Henry smiled at the red head, the third year took a guess that she was either a first or second year by her height as be replied" pleasure to meet you Juniper or Jelly Bean," the third year took a moment before adding, " Jelly Bean is a wicked names, most of my friends just find a nickname based on my surname which is Knight," the teen smiled when his thoughts were confirmed and the girl was catching frogs.
The moment reminded the teen when he caught frogs with Jay Victoria then planned to set them on a passing prefect. The blue eye boy smiled at Juniper as a thought swirl around his mind; the girl is rather short, had a set of chocolate brown eyes, and a head of wild red hair.
Her appearance and fun nature reminded Henry of Scarlett. The two seemed alike, it was a bit humourous to the boy as he suggested" mind if we join you in catching frogs?" The teen playful smile and gestured toward Loki as he added, " Loki is a pretty wicked frog catcher if you want some help," the blue eyed third year would turn back toward Juniper. It was odd he was trying to be more social and meet new people but standing there suggesting to have some fun and mess around with Juniper felt familiar. Almost like he did this before or met her before...

@Henry KnightJuniper grinned ear to ear at Henry. When people say that someone is looking up to someone, that usually means that they see them as a model. But Juniper was literally looking up at him. She was bending her head back to see his face, for she was very short. Shorter than she should be, anyway. She was shorter than the shortest of the average height people. "It's fantastic to meet you, Henry!" She said. He was using his manners, she assumed when he said "pleasure to meet you". Noone really says that to Juniper and really means it. For she was free and wild. They were stupid and dumb. But really, it was "Oh, well, Hi Juniper, I have to go now, sorry" And then they left.
But someone actually said it was nice to meet her! He obviously was cool if he had good taste like that. For she was awesome in her humble opinion. She tilted her head. "Is wicked like a slang term people use in the wizarding world or something? Because I thought wicked meant evil or bad, and I am NOT mean in any way." She said warningly. If he was calling her mean, she wanted to make sure he knew she was NOT mean at all.
She looked at her hands, covered in mud. "See, I would shake your hand... but I've got mud ALL over me!" She gave a laugh. She didn't mind her appearance, and she was pretty sure she had some twigs sticky out of her hair. She wondered what Henry thought of her, but then, she decided, she didn't really care. Anyone can think what they want about her. "I was jumping in puddles first, because what are puddles for, and then I saw a frog. I recently learned what chocolate frogs are, and I wanted to know if it was candy! Now that I think about it, it probably isn't, but whatever. "
She looked at the boy, then at the cat. "Sure! That'd be fun! We can find a girlfriend for Ribbit Brownie Jr!" She said, giggling. "He's my toad, he's in my common room though. I named him off of an actor!" She said.
She eyed the cat's paws. "Oh... and... your cat won't hurt the frogs, right?" She pictured fangs from the cat, hunting down a frog, She shuddered. She really liked frogs and toads, they were so cute.

Henry smiled toward Juniper's reply, the teen enjoyed meeting new friends and new people but something felt different. Perhaps familiar with Juniper. It could have been her strange resemblance to his friend, Scarlett Aden who he usually laughed around or got into mischief with. The feeling of comfort he got from Scarlett since she is the only one who knew him before he was a werewolf. When he was still human allowed him to be himself around her.
Looking at Juniper resemble this person of comfort whose he's so close with seemingly put him into a moment of ease and didn't mind causing some mischief or joking around that day.
"Wicked is a term used to describe something that is cool or amazing, majority use it in England," Henry explained the term that he used so often, the third year grew up in Godric Hollow and Liverpool so he grew up listening to the words for years that he uses them himself sometimes absentmindedly.
"I was just calling you cool, I would never call you mean or evil Juniper. You don't seem like you are either," Henry replied with a soft smile as the conversation seemed to continue from the previous topic to another one this one about handshakes and mud.
Loki took a few steps back and hunched down as his owner stepped into a puddle and jumped causing mud to spatter all over his legs, the lower part of his shirt and jacket and all Juniper a little. Loki kept his distance from the scene has Henry walked over to Juniper smiling and offering a hand to her as he spoke" were both covered in mud now so I don't think it matters," the teen add a bit of laughter at the end.
His emotions still hidden behind the 'barrier' while only a soft smile shown as he listened to Juniper, nodding toward her as he took a chocolate frog out from a pocket within his jacket. The chocolate frog box is clean from any mud as Henry handed the sweet to Juniper and spoke" here, you have this one if you want. I don't want it and you chased another after all but don't worry chocolate frogs aren't real frogs. Their bewitched to move and only have around one good jump in them," offering the sweet to the red head with a soft grin.
The teen would cross his arms in front of his chest listening to the girl with a soft smile as he spoke" frogs are adorable but what uh actor? That's a wicked cute name still mate," the blue eyed teen smiled toward the girl before looking down at his orange feline who was looking up at him probably judging him for jumping in a puddle of mud moments ago before turning back to Juniper and replying" Loki doesn't kill or harm anything, he's rather gentle and will only catch it."

Juniper raised her head. "Oh, okay, then. " She said, doing her best not to make herself sound more stupid. "I'm a half-" Juniper stopped short, widening her eyes and looking down. She had nearly let it slip she was a half-breed. Her mother's worried voice came to her head. "Juniper, the wizarding world can be tough. Don't let on that you're not like them. Don't let on your goblin side especially. I don't want you having the same life I did, as a part-goblin." Juniper had nodded her understanding, and now, she had almost disobeyed her mom. She didn't know if she could possibly trust Henry with this. "...blood. I'm a half-blood. My dad is a muggle. So I grew up thinking I was one too." She finally said, trying to bend the truth just a little.
"Also, I'm from Ireland, and I live on a farm. So, I never really have heard that term. But I guess that's a new one I should add to my list, if it means cool." She said, smiling. Going to a school like this means different vocabulary words she's never heard before. Her list has been growing! The other day, she learned some very colorful 4-letter words by listening to some older students argue. She turned to Henry. "In fact, I think you're wicked, too!" She gave him a toothy grin.
Her muddy hands reached to wipe her face, but then she stopped seeing the mud. She sighed, She was used to getting dirty like this, but she didn't want to seem like a total slob to Henry. (even if she kind of was...) She reached her hands behind her back to wipe the mud off, but in result just smeared it around. Henry's cat might of been jumping to the rescue, to save Juniper from her struggle. He jumped, showering Henry with mud. It was better now that they both had mud on them. Juniper laughed. "Ha! " She said.
She widened her eyes as he offered her a chocolate frog. She loved these things, they were amazing. She couldn't resist them. Henry was now a god in her eyes. She looked up to Henry with wide eyes, and she took the treat. Was he really giving it to her? She tucked it away in her pocket to eat later. It must be savored, never rushed.
"Wow, Thanks!" She said, hopping on her toes, deciding she liked Henry. She turned back to Henry. "Robert Downey Jr. Of course! Ya know, Iron man? The super cool guy with the- the booster things on his hands?" She held her hands out as if she shoot lasers from them. "You don't... know what I'm talking about do you?" She asked, laughing. She held her hands on her hips and tilted her head. "Are you a pureblood?" That must be why he didn't know what she was talking about.
At least he knew that frogs were cute, though. Because they were. And his cat was good with them too. "Oh, phew." She said. "Well, let's go catch some froggos!"

Henry offered a soft smile to her words, catching her pause and finding it odd but deciding not to mention it as he nodded toward her words about being a half blood and spoke" one's blood status doesn't matter, my girlfriend and best mates are muggle born and their some of the best mates I know here," the teen brushed a few strands of hair from his face as he looked over at Juniper with a smile and continued" I'm sure your amazing and a great witch, even better than the purebloods." The young third year would listened to Juniper's words, smiling softly toward her not aware what she might have said.
Henry noticed her height but wasn't phased by it or thought anything of it, Scarlett was rather short herself but the third year didn't have any prejudices or opinions on other races, specially part goblins mainly since he was a werewolf and experienced the wizarding world prejudice first hand. Not that he would tell Juniper the following, that's a secret only a small group at Hogwarts knows about... for now
"Ireland? That's Wicked and you grew up on a farm, what animals did you owe?" Henry questioned her as he smiled a little enjoying this conversation, feeling comfortable and relaxed around her a bit as he laughed a bit when the girl called him 'wicked' as well.
Shaking off bits and pieces of mud after the jump, Loki kept his distance watching the two students as Henry smiled softly at Juniper's response tempted to shake the mud off on her but reframed himself instead he smiled and looked on, tilting his head downward a bit to look at Juniper's eyes but nothing to noticable.
Henry smiled softly when the girl thanked him for the frog then listened to her explanation on the frog's name and the presumably muggle actor.
Robert Downey Jr? A man made of iron? What... boosters on his hands? Why are they on his hands? What do they do? And why is he cool... how is a man made of iron cool? Is this another muggle movie? I need to ask Rose about later perhaps
"No, but is the man made of iron one of those muggle movies or is he a person?" Henry questioned looking over Juniper and guessed that he made his blood statues obvious by now, the third year knew some muggle items and topics but was a bit oblivious to others.
"Yes, I'm a pureblood but I know a fee muggle things," Henry explained as that conversation changed to catching frogs and the teen whistled over to Loki who perked up his ears and ran ahead after a frog. Henry looked back toward Juniper with a soft smile as he spoke" let's go then."

Juniper nodded, up, down, up down. She was enthusiastically agreeing with Henry and she was sure he didn't know just HOW much she supported that. Being a part-goblin she knew that blood shouldn't matter, but it still did. Which Juniper still didn't understand the concept of that if they all had red blood. "OoooOoohh, Your girlfriend???" Juniper raised her eyebrows up and down playfully. Juniper has never met someone who was dating before. Really she hasn't. It felt weird for someone in her school to have a girlfriend because she's never had anyone have a crush on her before. That might be because she's a bit crazy but hey, if boys can't appreciate that then she's better off single.
"Actually... I don't know yet! Why do all the teachers, like, make us write!? In muggle school, we had one class for that which was where we learned how to read and write correctly. Now I'm writing essays all the time! " She shook her head in great disbelief. What a world this was. "And I miss my dog back at home, he was so fun to hang out with since we would always jump in mud puddles together!" Which is what she was doing now, but without her dog. Her dog was like her best friend since her siblings didn't exactly appreciate the messy things as much as she did. Tony was okay, though. "Yeah, Ireland. We had chickens and sheep and... and... and goats!" Juniper held her hands out in front of her to demonstrate a small size. "Nugget is my chicken since he walked into my hands when he was a baby. He loves me and I love him! We don't eat our chickens, we just get eggs from them." She clarified.
Henry listened as Juniper talked on which only made her like him more. People who listen are bound to be good friends. However, there was something TERRIBLY wrong. Juniper gasped dramatically, holding her chest as if she had been struck in the heart. "It hurts! You DON'T KNOW WHO IRON MAN IS?!"
A shake of the head.
"Henry Henry HENRY! He's human, but his suit is- not made of iron actually. It's actually made of gold-titanium" She could lecture Henry for an hour just on iron man himself, let alone Marvel. "So you MIGHT be wondering why he's called iron man? Well basically people saw him on camera when he was fighting a bad guy and they were
calling Tony Stark out for being "Iron Man" because- they just assumed the suit was made of iron and Tony Stark was all like 'I am Iron man'" She looked at Henry. Hopefully, he had kept up.
"I could go on for hours about this stuff, so let's catch some froggos!"
She looked around. "After it rains you can find them under trees or leaves.. or by rocks and mossy areas. So this is perfect weather for frog catching. " She carefully walked, watching the ground. "Careful, though, they can hop out from nowhere, haha!"

Henry smiled softly at Juniper's reaction, the teen momentarily forget about the young girl's age. She'sba first year which meant she is around eleven years old and not quite mature yet while Henry is a third year, thirteen and quite mature.
The teen now understood their different reactions to dating and him having a girlfriend as he spoke "yes, I have a girlfriend. She's a third year, muggleborn in hufflepuff. Her name is Alexa Mackenzie," softy smiling at the young girl as he waited for the conversation to move on from the subject even through the teen loved and cared very much for his girlfriend. For Alexa.
The conversation changed to classes ans Henry smiled a bit at her words on writing and essays, the teen thought the opposite and actually enjoyed all the wirting that they did. He found it helpful and enjoyable, especially nights spent snuggled up in the library wirting essays by candle light. That sounded like the best night for the teen.
Henry smiled at the girl as he spoke " muggle technology doesn't work at Hogwarts so writing is involved a lot and a few classes don't assign essays a lot but classes like history magic seem to love them," the teen eyes the girl for a moment as he brushed a few strands of hair back and continued " I could help you with the essays a sometime if you want?" The lad is always looking to help others, he couldn't help himself at times. It was in his nature, almost like how he's loyal to a fault for the ones he cares about.
Henry listened to Juniper talk about her dog, the teen felt bad for her that she had to be apart from someone she loved for months as a time. It didn't feel right that cats were allowed and dogs weren't,
Henry offered the girl a soft smile as he spoke " maybe next year, we could sneak him in?" Offering her a playful nudge since his words were meant as a joke since he highly dpubted that either of them could pull off sneaking a dog into hogwarts and not get caught.
Henry listened to Juniper talk about her farm in Ireland, listening to her name the animals then talk a often long about a chicken name nugget. The teen only smiled softly and nodded, unsure what to say next as he allowed the conversation to continue.
Breaking into laughter for a moment at the ravenclaw's words on how he never heard of Iron man. The teen took a breath, his laughter faded and replaced with a soft smile as he listened to Junioer explain who this iron man is.
"I understand, so he's one of the muggle movies and thay guy uh plays him? Henry asked curious if this Tony Stark is real or if he's a character played by Robert something junior... Henry didn't catch the name as he looked over at the first year and asked " should I watch the movie over break? Any other's that you recommend?"
Henry nodded toward her words, smiling at the girl as he figured that she's probably obsessed with the guy.... it sounded like it.
The conversation moved on ans Henry nodded thier Juniper, playfully replying " aye aye captain," as he looked around for any frogs, Loki however walked besides him and for the shore line where the feline got low then pounced.
Henry smiled at Juniper as Loki carefully picked the frog up and trotted back to the two students, carefully placing the bewildered frog on the ground.
