"Uh..." Ying started a little hesitant not sure what to say after so many conclusions being done at same time. She looked form Colin to Alana trying to catch all the lines of thoughts and questions, "Ye..yeah I'm Ming's sister!" She finally said with a soft smile. Reaching inside her bag she picked her hot cocoa set and crouched down in front of a large cut tree stump, starting to put the mugs and a bottle with hot choco powder. That stump would perfectly serve as an improvised coffee table for the three of them. "You know him?" She asked towards the still soaked blond-haired boy. "True, that!" She agreed with a Alana with a small chuckle, "I thought you were a Ravenclaw judging by the..." She stopped mentioning his boxers with a quick gesture of her hand, "Your attire!" She denoted with a cheeky smile.

The boy should really get dressed and get himself some warmth or else he would feel sick later and Ying didn't wanted to feel responsible for that. So turning her back to him, Ying and Alana went to gather some dry leafs and twigs so they could be able to make a small fire. It wasn't that hard to find what they needed, the forest was not far from the great lake and the grounds were also full of trees and grove. Holding a bunch of branches and one or two small wooden logs, Ying made her way back to the place near the lake where they had found Colin.

As soon as her eyes caught his features again, Ying felt like her mind were trying to tell her something important, but she couldn't grasp what had made her feel like that looking at the now full dressed boy. Something about him felt like a missing piece of a puzzle...but what puzzle? She couldn't remember...

Putting it down, Ying started to pile the small pieces of wood so they could lit them with fire. She was about to grab her wand from inside her pocket, but Colin bit her to it taking a hold on his own wand and cast the spell Incendio at the piled branches. Ying took her robes then, using it as a blanket so she wouldn't be sitting at the cold freezing ground. And then she sat, with her legs crossed in comfortable position. She was feeling happy, that morning had been nothing but full of amazing surprises.

The dark-haired saw in amusement, Colin demonstration of how to warm their mug with water without needing fire, but instead the Lumos Spell. She burst out laughing along with Alana, her best friend, when the boy almost cast his wand on fire. "Clair again!" She playfully said when she was able to catch her breath. "Woah! Did she enchanted you somehow? Do you need a kiss to break up the spell?" She boldly asked with an irreverent smile and a glint of malice in her dark eyes. "Perhaps I should find her at tell her that?" She asked continuing to tease him. It was fun to see his reaction to her provocations.

Interacting with: @Alana Dibble | @Colin McCoire

"Awww!" Colin said as Alana laughed at him. His frown quickly turned into a smile, and then a laugh. He found it hard to stay mad around these two. He couldn't help but laugh at himself --- he had just almost set his own wand on fire! And they both had a million questions and both seemed to delight in teasing Colin! He reckoned these two must be besties, and the thought crossed his mind that all three of them might become friends.

Colin smiled when Ying confirmed that she was Ming's sister. He was cool, but Colin didn't know him that well. Well, if she's Ming's sister, then Colin would accept her as a friend! And then she teased him about Clair! "Wait. What do you mean 'Clair again!?'" He looked back and forth between the girls.

Ying asked if Colin was under some kind of spell and needed a kiss to break it! "What?" His expression immediately changed from confused to shock! "Whoa! That girl has me enchanted for real!" Colin sighed and huge grin crossed his face. "And no amount of kisses can break the spell!" Colin leaned back a bit, thinking about Clair. Again.

But then a sudden thought came to his mind. The recollection his profession of love for the Ravenclaw came back to him, and he realised that these two Gryffindorks heard -- and saw --- everything! "Just a minute! What are you two up to? Both of you look like troublemakers to me! And --- oh crud!"

Colin broke out into a blush again, as he remembered exactly what the two had seen and heard. "You're not gonna --- please don't --- you two are go blab about this to Clair, aren't you? I can see it your eyes!" These two were just what Colin needed --- two more prankish friends!
