Quinn found her way to the courtyard, She was finally getting the layout of the school. She saw all of the students walking and talking with there groups of friends. She wanted a group like that, She never had a group of friends before only very close friend. Having a group of friends was kinda a dream of Quinns. Like the golden-trio But they wouldn't risk there lives that much. Just some friends that will explore the castle with her and hang out.
These where her thoughts as she walked to an open bench, She puled out her own copy of 'quidditch through the ages' When she read it in the library she thought it was amazing it helped her learn more about quidditch. So she got her own to read and to see if can make any more sense of it, Learn more of the rules. Her dad would love knowing that shes interested in the game. she opened the book to the page she left on, And read.
The students passing where paying no attention to her. Wich she did not mind to much. She did not like to be disturbed much as she read, She did finished the book for the second time.
"I think I know all the rules now!" She said excitedly when she looked up from her lap she saw that a student had stopped in front of her. Why did they stop? she asked herself, To ask to sit? Talk about the book she had in her hands? Possibly they wanted to tell her that her face looked stupid...?

Jarael was walking just getting a feel of the castle grounds. 'This place was so huge' she thought to herself. She wanted to explore every nook and cranny there was of the castle. It excited her which seemed like a feeling that was constant these days. She kept walking, not caring about the other students she saw gathering and talking. She was used to being alone. Most people thought she was weird. Again Jarael didn’t care about that.
As she was walking she found a path that was between the hospital wing and the covered bridge. It was a courtyard. 'Interesting' she thought then looked down on the ground. She was studying the cracks in the stone noticing the dirt and moss. She stayed there for quite awhile. She heard some students mention her wondering what Jarael was doing looking at the ground. Jarael popped her head back up and squinted at them before moving on.
She continued walking, passing by the group of friends giggling at her. Jarael twisted one of her long medium brown braids and walked as if she was marching to a beat. Her black ankle boots were pounding as she marched, lifting her thighs high up and down during the march. It definitely was not the norm for many to see.
While she was walking she came upon a girl reading a book. It appeared she was reading quidditch through the ages. Jarael stopped marching and bent down looking at the cover of the book. Her face was really close to the book.
“Twitchy Snitch” she giggled then with her piercing blue eyes stared into the girl’s eyes. “Who goes there?” she said then cocked her head to the side after she finally stood straight up. @ Quinn Root

The girl who stopped in front of Quinn had medium brown hair. She got very close to her book, She said something like 'Twitchy Snitch?' She giggled and looked her in her eyes, Her eyes were electric blue. Some of the students passing where staring at them, The girl seamed unfazed by the staring. She then proceeded to ask 'who goes there' Quinn assumed that she was asking for her name. She turned her head to the side and stood up. "My name is Quinn! can you repeat what you said? I think you said 'Twitchy Stitch?'" She asked the girl. '
She must be in ravenclaw, She has blue on her robes' She's taller then Quinn, It may just be because she's sitting and the girl is standing. "Whats your name?" She asked.
This girl seemed fun, And care free. Quinn moved over on the bench she was sitting at to make room for the girl. There were still people walking around in groups of there friends.
Quinn moved over on the bench she was sitting at, to make room for the girl. She then looked at the newly opened seat and back to the girl. There were still people walking around in groups with their friends. 'So the girl did not want to tell me my face was stupid, I'm still not sure what she wants tho.. Can't be that bad! She seems nice, very nice!' Quinn thought.

Jarael cocked her head to the side as Quinn introduced herself and asked what she said. Jarael went to pat the head of Quinn if allowed. She squeaked like a bird before saying “Jarael…Jarael Morningstar the brightest star of them all. Where you go, knowledge is gained so you can go far.” she giggled “ Quidditch is your fancy eh?” her blue eyes blinked several times at Quin as she heard the laughter of some girls who were making fun of Jarael. The blue eyed Ravenclaw was not phased by it. She was in her own world but very confident in herself.
Jarael looked at the girl’s uniform and noticed she was a Slytherin. “Snakey snakey wakey wakey, slithering all about. What is this snakey snakey trying to figure out?” She moved her body weirdly trying to act like she was slithering like a snake. When she finally stopped she squinted while making a face at the laughing girls who reacted as if offended before walking away.
Jarael then looked at Quinn then sat down next to her when she saw that Quinn had made room for her. Jarael swung her feet back and forth before reaching into her satchel and getting a couple chocolate frogs. She blinked several times before grinning. “Want a frog?” she said as if she finally became normal. She grinned and let out a squeak while taking a bite of her chocolate frog. She studied the card that came with it. “Ooh Lady Carmilla” @Quinn Root

Colin sat on the cobbles in the Courtyard. He'd already had an eventful day and was just enjoying being.
Not being anywhere in particular. Just being. Here, now. His head was bent over a book. People didn't usually disturb him if he was reading intently, so what better way to enjoy the breeze and let the wash of chatter and activity flow around him than to pretend to be reading something!
Hm. I probably should turn the page every now and then! he thought. Sooner or later, someone was bound to catch on to the fact that he'd been 'reading' page 196 for the last half hour!
He heard some boys teasing someone. He heard some groups of friends talking here and there. No one he recognised. A lot of them sounded like older students.
Then Colin heard a curious sound. A rhythmic glock! -- glock! -- glock! -- glock! The sound of heavy boots marching on hard stone! It sounded like an army on the move, soldiers off to the wars in far off Lagaria where the King had a quarrel with the potentates of that place! Colin couldn't help but stomp his own feet in time with the martial precision of the marching boots.
Although the army came to a halt, Colin still swayed a bit to the rhythm, lost in own imaginings. He heard a familiar voice cry out "Who goes there!?" Oh drat! The sentry has spotted me! I'll be captured for sure! Only one thing to do now ---
"I go there!" Colin cried in response.
But another voice spoke at the same time: "My name is Quinn! can you repeat what you said? I think you said 'Twitchy Stitch?'"
Oh! Smart lass and brave comrade! Confudibulise the enemy with their own confabulations!
His head shot up and he focused on the stone seat just across from where he was sitting. He wasn't imagining things at all! Well, not entirely! Quinn was indeed there, and so was some other girl. He'd seen her around a lot, but didn't know who she was. She always seemed to be poking around into interesting things, but didn't seem to want any company. Colin would have loved to talk exploration with her, if that's what she was up to!
He watched intently as Quinn introduced herself and made space for her to sit. He didn't want to disturb them, so he just sat by and observed for now. Some other girls started laughing at the girl --- Jarael she said her name was.
As they turned to walk away, Colin picked up a tiny pebble, placed it between his thumb and finger and zung it right at one of the girl's ears! When she turned, he only stared at her and hissed. Colin hated it when people laughed at someone that way. This Jarael looked like she could take care of herself, but still.
He turned his gaze back towards Jarael. Colin wondered if she weren't the commander of the army that had just marched through his imagination? She had a neat way of talking! Duplication and rhyming, rhythmic chanting.
He kind of wanted to go over there and chat with the girls. But then his eyes widened in delight: Jarael brought out two gaily decorated boxes.
"Oo, chocobeasties!" he said aloud. He smacked his hands over his mouth --- drat! "Was that loud enough, Colin lad? Might as well just creep over there and beg for one like a good doggie!"

The girl introduced herself as Jarael Morningstar, The brightest star of them all. She asked if Quidditch was her fancy " Oh- Well I don't know much about it, But i'm trying to learn!" She told Jarael. Some girls started laughing at her Jarael, Quinn glared at them Jarael dint seam to care.
Quinn was not sure on what She meant ' Snakey Snakey? It must be because of my robes!' She thought "Well today I was trying to figure out the rules of Quidditch, and how it's played. I think I've achieved it" She looked at the cover of the book, She then put the book into her bag.
Jarael sat down next to Quinn and offered her a Chocolate frog. "I would like a frog. Thank you" She said taking one of the too frogs Jarael had brought out. Once Quinn had opened the frog she did not look at the card. Yet. She just started eating the frog. Quinn smiled she loved chocolate frogs. They were one of her favorite foods. Quinn reached into her bag and pulled out an unopened box of 'Every flavor beans' Quinn always got lucky with the beans, as far as she can remember the worst one shes had was a grass flavor one. "Do we dare?" She asked Jarael.

Jarael would glance now and then to the boy in Slytherin robes who was watching them. She grinned. “Snakey snakey” she said then pulled out another chocolate frog. She got up and did a weird dance move like she was doing figure eights as she started going around the courtyard before landing next to the boy. She dangled the chocolate frog in front of him and said “Jump jump froggy into the hole you go. Munch munch munch froggy is no more.” It was Jarael’s way of giving him a frog when she heard the boy speak out loud. She grinned at him waiting to see if he would take it.
Quinn on the other hand was going to give Jarael a Every flavor bean. Jarael smiled at her and nodded her head furiously. “I like the beans, they either torment you or give pleasure.” she laughed in a high pitched voice. She turned back to the boy now completely face to face. I mean so close up she would almost be able to kiss him. She cocked her head as she stared into his eyes as if staring into his soul.
She was amazed looking at his green eyes. The boy had black messy hair which Jarael didn’t seem to mind. I know you Snakey boy. Colin green eyes so bright like the color of slime. Examining every feature he had on his face it might have seemed weird or even intrusive with how close she was to him. Sometimes Jarael didn’t know her boundaries or cared. @Quinn Root @Colin McCoire

Colin's book fell to his side as Quinn's new friend stood, pulling out another choco frog! Colin blushed instantly. She must have heard him! She danced this way and that. Ravenclaw Girl, from dark arts class. It was an odd kind of dance, not like the ones folk did at home. It was different, but all the same, it seemed as full of meaning. Colin wondered what the message might be.
She dangled the frog before him, and before Colin could even engage his brain, he sat up straight and focused on the gaily decorated box. His eyes opened wide and he focused keenly on the box and followed its shiny foil wherever her fingers dangled it.
His lips parted and he licked his teeth. "Mmmmm. Chocofrog!"
Colin reached up slowly with both hands. With deliberate motions, he touched each of the five corners of the box between his fingertips and took it from the girl. He sniffed at the box, memorising the various scents it contained and smiled.
When he looked up Colin had to blink a few times. Mostly what Colin could see was two piercing blue eyes. Somewhere around the edges was long brown hair, but it was the eyes. They had stared at him curiously in dark arts, and now they were staring at him again. She cocked her head as she stared at him.
He furrowed his brows slightly. Why don't I feel terrified of her? What if she sees inside me? Will she hate me? Is she --- is she cracked enough to accept what I am?
Colin cocked his own head the other way. Her eyes really did look like the sky! Or like the Earth seen from far, far away. Like two Earths, two pale worlds one could get lost in. He smiled. Now I know what being face to face really means! She said something. Snakey boy --- Colin --- bright eyes like slime.
Wait! She knows our name, lad! He blunk his eyes a few time. Have to ask hers --- not yet lad!
Colin smiled. He showed her one long canine. Then, before she could squeak or talk or dance away again, he tipped his head forward slightly towards hers.
*doop!*
He touched the tip of his nose to hers!
Colin sat back laughing merrily, showed her all his canines. Colin couldn't understand it, but it felt strangely freeing to show this girl all his --- er --- fangs.
Still smiling, he picked up the choco frog box and lifted it slowly before her face. It rested on his right palm, secured between his thumb and pinky, and he stared into Ravenclaw Girl's eyes, the box at nose level. He licked his teeth in anticipation.
Colin closed his eyes and slowed his breathing. He barely whispered: "This is going to be fun!" The fingers of his left hand curled slightly, leaving the index finger extended. He opened his eyes and focused on the box. His index finger slid over and found the wee tab that would open the box and release the magic contained within. His heart was pounding, eager for the hunt; his lips parted and he stuck his tongue between his teeth. His finger touched the tab. Barely flicked it.
The top opened, revealing confectionary magic. Time stopped. Colin's eyes dilated as they fixated on the frog. He waited. Patiently. The entire universe disappeared, except for this one choco frog and its hunter. The frog's eyes darted this way and that. Colin ignored them. That was a ruse. He focused on the frog's hind toes. That's where the magic happened!
He let go his conscious mind. No more was he Colin. He was the wolf. The frog was about half a yoctosecond away from making its move. The wolf made the first move. Colin let the box fall from his hand. The frog lifted the big toe of its right hind foot. Colin was already leaping before the frog made its move! Colin was in the air! The frog was in the air! Right big toe meant a high leap to the left --- Colin would be waiting for the frog! As the frog turned, graceful as a chaser evading the bludger, its eyes opened wide --- did the frog know if it was doomed? The wolf didn't care. Colin, kind of wondered.
*CLACK!*
Time and space disarticulated suddenly and Colin landed on the cobblestones without a sound. The choco frog was trapped neatly in his teeth. Face to face --- nose to nose --- again, just like before, Colin looked into Ravenclaw Girl's blue eyes and smiled at her. His smile widened, revealing melted chocolate covered fangs.
"Mmmm! Nnks r rogg!" Colin bit the frog in half and caught the rest in his hand. He smiled, munching happily. "Want some, Eyes of Sky?" he said, holding the rest of the frog up to the girl.

Quinn saw that Jarael was glancing at something well.. someone. A boy, in green robes. Looking at him Quinn recognized him as Colin McCoire. Jarel grabbed another frog, and danced to Colin holding it in front of him. She told her that the beans either torment you or give you pleasure. "Yes that is true" She laughed. She looked back at colin and got super close to his face. Collins nose touched hers.
Colin smiled at her, He placed the choco frog box on his palm. He opened it. To Quinn it looked like he was waiting for the frog to make the first move. When it did Colin pounced on it, He caught it in his teeth. 'Wow! That was impressive! I need to ask him how he did that later!' Quinn thought with an amazed look on her face.
She walked over to where Colin and Jareal were, When she got to them which did not take long she finished her frog. Colin bit his in half and aske Jarael or as he called her eyes of sky if she wanted the rest. "Colin! That was amazing, How did you do that?" She asked him. She wanted to know because she thought it was very cool.
