The weather conditions were perfect. It was cloudy outside so most of the students who would usually be out and about in the school grounds were all gone, this was the best opportunity that Asher would get to set up his little prank.
He carried his enchanted satchel which had all the items he needed. He had a bunch of water sprayers like the ones used by barbers, only difference was that his wasn't filled with water, but with paint. He has recently read about some of the legendary pranksters that once walked this school, the most notable for him being the Weasly Twins. The guys were so good and passionate about pranks that they started a shop about it and made their career about pranks!
This along with his father being a terrible influence, pushed Asher into planning and later doing a prank of his own. Who would have guessed that under all that brilliance, his father would have a thing for good pranks? And Asher was no different from his father. He could appreciate a good prank when he saw one, now it's time he makes one himself.
Asher surveyed the Hogwarts Ground before finding a small patch of trees, a place were people are more likely to stand under or approach. Perfect. He started making his way towards the trees, hopefully he could get this all wrapped up without too much hassle, he definitely wouldn't enjoy being caught by a professor or a prefect.

Pandora inhaled the scent of the fine air. It was cloudy weather, which she called good weather. She moved a little further to the wooded side and saw a boy there.
She crouched behind a thick tree behind him. It was easier to talk, but she hadn't done it for some reason. She noticed that the arrow behind him was barely visible. While she was trying to adjust it, she suddenly slipped and fell behind the boy. She was in a very strange moment. She had fallen on her back
"Hi. It's a little weird isn't it? It's weird even for me. What are you doing by the way?"
She spoke too cheerfully for this situation. She quickly stood up and checked to see if anything was wrong with his arrow. Nothing happened. She was indeed relieved. Then she spoke as if nothing had happened
"What is your name? My name is Pandora. But my friends call me Dora more."
She smiled. Ok I guess she should have apologized. She understood this. "By the way, I'm sorry. I forgot to say." She was talking a little too fast. So she paused to get some breath. She looked at the boy.

Alexander has never been a fan of cloudy days. But he was also aware that he would get a little bored if he stayed in the common room just because of the weather. And to be honest, the country they lived in didn't give people the luxury of not liking the cloudy weather. So he decided to try some kind of challenge. He would go out and explore. Maybe he'd meet someone too? After all, there were not just badgers at school. There were also lions and eagles roaming around. And of course, snakes. Perhaps one of them could have been a good friend to Alexander as well. He was completely unaware that his thoughts would come true as he stepped out of the round wooden door of the Hufflepuff common room.
After wandering around the castle for a while —he was afraid he would get lost— Alexander finally arrived on the school grounds. A breathtaking sight. He was walking with slow steps. As if he would miss a very important part of the school if he walked a little faster... He had many more years to spend here, however, young Alexander had not yet fully grasped this fact. A person who has just arrived somewhere is often worried about leaving before he has properly explored the place. Alexander was no different.
While walking around with these thoughts, he realised that two people were talking ahead. A boy and a girl. A lion and an eagle. Well, would it be bad if Alexander joined them? After all, a yellow robe could always add the kind of diversity one would hope for. Alexander was generally a shy boy. But wasn't the only reason he was outside today to change and challenge some of his habits? How would he be able to meet anyone if his comfort zone held him captive? He mustered up his courage. All in all, they didn't look like bad people. With timid but willing steps, he started to go towards the place where the boy and girl were talking about something. "Hello," he said with a gentle smile. "My name is Alexander. Beautiful day, isn't it?" Then a satchel and an arrow caught his eye. Oh boy... What were they after? He didn't ask, preferring instead to wait silently for them to introduce themselves.

Mina had looked outside her window from her dorm room and smiled,. It would be such a nice day fr a walk. Clouds in the sky, blocking the sun. She wondered if the clouds would yield rain or not, perhaps they would. She would like that, a little rain, then she could sit by her window and read all day while watching the rain slide down the panes of glass and listen to its steady drum. Or maybe she would find a way to be outside and play in the rain, that would be fun.
She got up from her chair at her desk, grabbing her bag and sliding a few books into it. She’d go to the grounds and find somewhere comfortable to spend the afternoon reading and maybe even homework. God knew she had lots of it to work through and procrastinating would not make the pile any smaller. She moves out of her doors, down the stars and makes her way through the common room.
After leaving the Gryffindor tower, she makes her way to the grounds, humming to herself. Once she’d made it outside, she walked to a small copse f trees, noticing a group of three people standing by it. She paused, wondering if she shoulder go over, or just sit under one of the trees and ignore them. She decided to ignore them, walking to a nearby tree when she noticed a look of mischief about one of the boys and pause, curious.
She walked over, quiet for a moment, looking at the three people, “I could see the mischief in your eyes a mile away.” She looks at the first boy(Asher). “What are you up to? I’m curious.”
She looks to the girl(Pandora), and the other boyAlexander, both of them seemed to not know the mischief maker, and neither did she. She assumed they had been in the area and had run into him, or walked over out of curiosity just as she had.

Asher was just about to set up the prank when he was suddenly startled by a girl falling behind him. He hadn't seen her here when he came by so she must have come after him, or she is really good at hiding.
"Um, Hi. Yeah I guess it's a little weird, and I am just going for a walk" he lied to her because he wasn't sure if she would keep his secret or tell the professors, Asher hated lying but better be safe than sorry. Asher also noted the cheerful tone the girl spoke with, which was a bit odd as it didn't fit the situation, she stood up before he could offer her any help and checked...an arrow? Was she going to shoot him or something?
She then completely disregarded the arrow and continued like nothing happened in the first place, she then introduced herself as Pandora. "Pandora, huh? That's quite the beautiful name. Its nice to meet you Pandora, my name is Asher" Asher avoided calling her by her nickname since he wasn't sure if she would be fine with him calling her that so he stuck to the safer route.
She then apologized to Asher but he wasn't sure what she exactly she apologizing for, unless she was just about to shoot him in the head with an arrow. "I am no sure what you're apologizing for, and looking at that arrow doesn't inspire good ideas" he said while nervously scratching his neck, "So, Um. Let's jsut put this behind us, yeah? Asher wasn't sure if she would linger for long or if this was the end of their encounter, all he knew was that vision previous plans will be delayed. For now.
That was until another boy made his wat towards them, and introduced himself as Alexander Harland. Why of all the days people show up around me it's the day I am breaking the rules! and if that wasn't enough just then another girl showed up!
I blame it on my rotten luck. The new girl then called him out and Asher stiffened for a moment when he decided that he thought process was useless, he hadn't done anything wrong so he would be punished even if they told on him. He spent less than a couple of seconds silently before sighing and addressing his three new companions.
"A little prank, nothing big just some harmless fun. he then turned to Pandora "And I am sorry for lying earlier, I was trying to be on the safe side" he then turned to face all three of them with a small smile on his face, he didn't know why he was smiling, but he won't complain about a bit of positivity "Well I guess introductions are in order, my name is Asher Blackjack, and I am planning some mischief!" he declared before cringing at the introduction.
"In my defense that sounded way cooler in my head"
