It was an overcast morning, not dreary but grey. The birds, were chirping, magically so. The pregnant clouds sifted through the sky enigmatic as to whether they would pour rain on the students or not. As it were it was what Orion considered ideal conditions for a stroll. With a book tucked under his arm he set out for the grounds. As he stepped outside through the great doors that adorned the front of the school like two gargantuan Sentinels daring anyone to try and break them down.
Looking up and squinting at the sky he pondered the wiseness of going out, but decided he didn't really mind getting wet if it came down to it, he did however mind his books getting wet. Tucking them deeper under his arm he headed out, there must be a gazebo that he could take shelter under somewhere, it was just a matter of finding it. With that in mind he stepped out into the day ready for whatever the weather was going to throw at him.
It only took a few short minutes of walking before he did spy one such ideal place to sit and read. Sitting down he began to read the book, while enlightening as to the history of wizards, the book was drier than left over pasta. Grumbling to himself as he read, it was not terribly long until he began to nod off, fighting the desire to sleep the book gave him.
But alas, after perhaps another chapter of the torture he lost the battle against somnolence. Falling over onto the gazebo bench slowly without even realizing it his eyelids slid shut. His small frame falling against the bench sheltered from the world by a haven found in dreams, free of the fear of homework and other evil things.

Atop a gazebo, a perfect spot to avoid contact with the various strange students that roamed the school. It took quite a bit of effort and a lot of determination, but she managed to get to the roof of the little resting place, tired and proud. Though, while she had dubbed herself a victor for making it to the top, she had forgotten a very important detail before making the decision to climb this obstacle.
What was she going to do up here, other than hiding?
That was about 20 minutes ago.
She sat on the roof, knees drawn to her chest as she pondered why she made such impulsive, often idiotic, decisions. There was no plan or strategy to get down and there was little to no entertainment besides watching the area around her. She...needed assistance, she realized. Not that she was going to call for help or something, how embarrassing would that be? No, she was far too prideful to admit she needed help. She was thinking more along the lines of just dropping back to the ground and hoping for the best. Hadn't failed her yet!
She was actually taking that into consideration when she heard something nearby. Approaching, actually. Not wanting to get caught being stuck, she flattened herself to the roof and waited. Whoever it was made themselves nice and comfortable, to Kreszentia's chagrin, meaning she would have to wait longer for them to leave. Patience was key and she assumed she wouldn't have to use much of it if she was lucky. Or, she hoped at least. The profound lack of activity below her wasn't promising in the slightest, and she dreaded making herself known to whoever it was.
As quietly as she could, Krez scooted to the edge of the roof and held her breath as she peeked over the rim to check up on her unwelcomed guest. Some boy, asleep in his book. She was noticing a trend of some sort with her time here...
Studying him from above, she didn't see anything particularly intimidating about him, which was good! But he was put together, which still means she could humiliate herself in front of him (or above him in this case) if he were to wake up. Maybe she could use him as a cushion? A brief interaction, but maybe in his surprised half-awake state she could scramble away without a trace. It sounded well enough to work, but at the same time...
Kreszentia sat up again, giving the blood in her head a chance to go back where it belonged, allowing her clearer thoughts. If that was possible in this situation..

"Ramonaa! I'm sorry please come back!"
Kludd called across the grounds, running after his raven, who was currently flying off in a fit of rage. He hadn't kept up with getting her food, and thus didn't have the proper amount to give her. She was incredibly picky about food. And just fussy in general. Anyway, she was in the middle of one of her hissy-fits and had flown out the window of his room, and now he had to chase after her. Sure, he could have simply waited for her to come back, but he needed a letter sent as soon as possible and that was, technically, her job.
After sprinting halfway across the grounds, Ramona finally settled at the top of the gazebo. She let out a few caws, perching herself at the edge of the roof of the structure. The raven watched Kludd for a moment, before turning to the person who was already up there. She seemed to look at the girl knowingly, as much as a bird could anyway. Anyone who knew Kludd likely knew his pet as well. With her sleek black feathers and the cute, rose-pink ribbon tied around her neck in a bow. She usually followed him everywhere, unless she and him were having one of their little spats.
Kludd arrived at the gazebo a few moments later, tired and out of breath from running after her. He took a moment to just catch his breath, pushing his glasses up on his face. Once he finally felt like he could speak again, he looked up towards the roof. "Ramona Hera Wolvenbloed get down here this instant!" He called up to her, as if she was his misbehaving child. The bird simply flapped her wings in response, hopping over closer to the edge where he was standing to look down at him.
"What could possibly be up there for you? I'm the one that feeds you, even if there wasn't enough food today. I certainly wont be able to get more if you don't come down and let me send this letter!"
While focused on his avian companion, Kludd had failed to notice either of the people already there. He probably would have tried to keep his voice down a little, if he'd seen the boy asleep, and if he'd looked a little more carefully and noticed Krez, he definitely would have asked if she needed help. But he was a little preoccupied at the moment.

It was a gentle afternoon. At least, it was. Lucette was already on the grounds, a small rope-tied brown packed resting into her hands, confused. Her hair was in a messy bun, and she leaning up against a tree. She was enjoying a peaceful day, with the occasional student coming up to ask the prefect questions about Hogwarts, but that substance wasn't on her mind at the moment. Peter had sent her a parcel with no context, other than to be mindful when opening it. She peered around the grounds, taking in her surroundings: the sky was a soft gray, one that did not show precipitation, but one that informed the area that the sunlight wouldn't break out soon. Her fingers traced the tangle, wonderful. So what was holding her back? She bit her lip. What was holding her back? She never imagined a time when Pete would send her a gift and she would falter to open it. How much had she been altered in a matter of a few weeks? She tugged at the twine, telling herself to shut her mouth. This was a gift from her brother, and she would open it in the wide open. Before she could shred it open like an adolescent during Christmas, a shriek sounded out.
"Ramonaa! I'm sorry please come back!"
Her eyes darted upwards, locking onto the source of the noise. She narrowed her eyes, spotting a running blur of a dark robe and reddish-brown hair screaming after a... raven. How did a raven get on campus? She tilted her head, her attention now focused on the scene unfolding in front of her. The boy ran quicker, crying out to the raven and Lucette cringed. The boy was making such a scene, and she wondered if he knew that he was darting towards a resting figure on the bench. She had been there before the figure, and they appeared to be sleeping soundly. Not for long, anyway. She tried to return to her task, but her eyes stayed locked on the scene at the gazebo.

With a resounding thud (Rhymes with Kludd) it happened, the chaos ensuing about a child chasing a bird a girl hiding on the roof, another nearby bearing witness to the silliness at foot, and the boy at the center of it all snoozing without a care... Or at least he had been until he awoke, with a thud he rolled off of the bench landing with a resounding smack as his face hit the gazebo floor. Immediately busting his nose. Awakening with a startled cry he immediately cradled his now injured nose as blood began to exit it hastily.
“Ow ow ow ow”
More concerned with his book than his nose he quickly pushed his book away from himself so as to not get blood on it while failing to stem the bleeding with his other hand. Looking around hastily for whatever was causing the racket about him. A bird was cawing madly and a familiar voice seemed to be shouting in his general vicinity that he would have recognized as Kludd if he were more coherent.
“W-w-w-whad's g-goin on? K-k-kludd? I-is dat shou?”
His speech garbled by his injury he attempted to assess the situation more startled than in pain for the moment but all around very much confused. His nose still dripping through clenched fingers as he cursed himself for not having memorized charms to fix this issue, or any charms that would pull stains out of clothing.

Ramona making her graceful entrance on top of the roof, with Kludd hot on her tail, startled Krez, and she shot Ramona a look. Her frustration wasn't there for long as she hurried to press herself against the roof before Kludd could spot her, hoping he was too focused on his mischievous bird to notice a mildly distressed german girl. The sound of the bench-dwelling boy hitting the floor with a rather sound thud got her back up though, so she peeped back below the roof to see what happened to him exactly.
Blood dripped from the unfortunate sleeper's nose, and he seemed understandably bewildered. A busted or potentially broken nose wasn't the most pleasant thing to wake up to, she figured. Shaking her head in pity, she tried to decide if she wanted to throw him down her robe, or maybe search her pockets for any scavenged tissues he could use instead. It would mean giving up her position and having him realize she had been up there, but at the same time, he was in obvious pain. It'd be just plain rude to keep hiding when she might have been able to help, probably.
Krez kept weighing her options of hiding and helping the delicate bookworm until she heard him call out for Kludd. If her assumptions were accurate, then he was probably a friend of Kludd's. And usually, people who were friends with Kludd seemed like reasonable and nice folks. Never hurt to help a good samaritan here and there.
Now to figure out a way down.
Krez knew the drop was a little bit too much for her, and she wasn't going to break anything if she had anything to say about it! She could slide down the support beam, but there was nothing guaranteeing she could get a good grip on it anywhere, even if it appeared to be ok to slide on.
She didn't feel like she had that many options, plus she didn't have a lot of time to hem and haw up there while someone was bleeding below her.
Settling for what came to her mind next, Krez turned around near the edge of the roof, grabbing it before pushing off. She swung a bit, but she had managed to keep a grip so she could hang there for a second to figure out how much height this took off from her drop. Unfortunately, it wasn't much, so she was just dangling with still no way to get down safely.
Great.

A pretty loud thud against the floor of the Gazebo caught Kludds attention, drawing it away from Ramona and causing him to jerk his head towards the noise to see what it was. He instantly recognized Orion, who apparently must have been there the whole time, and now had a very bloody nose. His eyes widening as he quickly made his way over to his friend.
"Orion! Are you okay, oh goodness..."
He reached under his cloak, fumbling and grabbing his wand, pulling it out so he could cast a healing spell. It wasn't anything overly complicated, as the injury wasn't too bad from what he could see, and thankfully he was pretty versed in healing spells. He recalled something his father had told him while teaching him one of the healing spells he knew. "You're going to need to use these one day. You never know when someone'll get themselves hurt and you wont have anyone else around to heal them. Sometimes, you just have to do it yourself." Kludd had taken this to heart, and put a lot of work into learning these spells so he could use them on command.
He muttered the incantation, and with quick wave of his wand, the pain dissipated and the blood tapered off after a moment. Kludd put back his wand, then proceeded to dig around for the tissues he'd been carrying in his pocket. A habit he'd picked up from his mom. He pulled them out, and started to wipe blood off Orions face, before realizing he could probably do it himself, and just kinda smiled and handed him the rest of the tissues.
"Here, uh, you can get it yourself i'm sure. Are you alright now?"
He asked, before his attention was quickly drawn away from the other hufflepuff boy, back to Ramona and her now slightly distressed cawing. He turned back around to see Krez dangling herself from the roof of the gazebo. When did she get up there? How?? He didn't really have time to think about it too much, he just hopped up again and went over, standing under her and holding his arms up, offering to catch her. He didn't really feel the need to communicate this in words, he just kinda did it. Ramona settled, waiting to watch this unfold.

Lucette's eyes widened as the sleeping boy awoke with.. quite a reaction. She watched helplessly as his face contacted with the floor, and then just red. She quickly got up, shoving her package into her satchel; She'd get to it later. Brushing grass from her robe and leaves of her hair, she quickly began to stride over, wand now in her hand instead of in the sewn-on pocket inside her robe, intend on helping and healing spells running their course in her mind. Of course, someone beat her to it. It was... Kludd? How did she not recognize him from afar? She walked a bit slower, the situation a bit less urgent. Before she could open her mouth to speak to the two of the boys, dangling feet appeared a few feet from her head, causing Lucette to jump in surprise. Feet?! How?!
Lucette's head darted upwards, landing on a short munchkin girl holding onto the edge of the gazebo's roof: Kreszentia. She let out a gasp, before calling out to the girl. "Kr-Krez? What in the stars are you do-doing up there? L-Let me help you!" Help? Even your narrator wonders how this small, frail child would be able to catch another child. Just imagine a rock falling directly onto a skinny twig, and that's basically how one would imagine the scene unfolding. Although, Lucette's need to help others outweighed her logical thinking, and so she moved to stand a few inches away from directly under Krez, her arms up as if that would help her in what she hoped to do.
