fire

[Ariel Anderson]

"you know, the occasional prank here...the random fire there. the mayhem everywhere."She laughed.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Of course," I nod. "Mayhem and pranking...." I shake my head, laughing slightly.

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yep, yep. so what do you do around here? If you don't mind me asking?'

[Fitzy Patricks]

"What, me personally? For fun?" I ask, then stop and think about it. "Um... well... I think a lot. Practice magic. Occasionally play Quidditch after finding someone I trust enough to make sure I get to the hospital wing after." I laugh slightly. "That's about it, I guess. You?"

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel let out a laugh,"Nothing really, mostly just meeting Ravenclaws. You're like the second Slytherin that I've met. Never played quidditch, tried flying once and I fell off so I chunked the broom."She said giving a slight chuckle.

[Fitzy Patricks]

I laugh a bit at that and shake my head. "Wow... you really should give it a try. I may run into things a lot, but it's worth it, so you shouldn't just give up because you fell." Then I raise my eyebrows. "And are you not going to classes, Miss...?" I pause, forgetting her last name for a moment. "Er... Anderson. If you are, I would think you'd meet Slytherins."

[Ariel Anderson]

"I'm a little scared of heights. But shhh."She said putting her finger to her lips,"It's a secret, and I did suggest wearing protective gear but Cassy told me I'd be fine." Ariel gave a nervous chuckle,"Classes...well about that...Um I lost my schedule?"She smiled,"I've only met two Slytherins, Aly-Maryiea and Rave."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"I've met someone named Aly," I nod. "Not sure if I know Rave." Then I shake my head, tring to hold in a smile. "Sure you did... and couldn't find a teacher to give you a new one, or look at the books you bought to figure out where you should be..." I shake my head again and laugh. "Protective gear is good when playing Quidditch... I think so anyway. But you should give it another try... just don't look down."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Rave said something about him being a jerk, but I don't know."She shrugged,"Um, accidentaly(sp) burned the books...and uh, didn't know who the teachers were?"She laughed. "I guess it can't be that bad, I'll just put some type of padding at the bottom of the field so if I fall it won't hurt as much."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Good plan," I nod. "Although that would probably take a lot of padding... maybe you could hire someone to run around beneath you with a mattress." I laugh. "And the teachers are the ones who sit at that big table above the rest of us at meals... they're also rather older than most students, so that should probably help."

[Ariel Anderson]

"That's an idea, I should get my sister to do it and then hire people to take pictures."She laughed,"You're really intent on my going to classes aern't you?"She asked tilting her head.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Well... just looking out for you here. You learn some pretty important things in some of these classes... things that even average people would consider important, unlike at muggle schools." I shrug, then laugh. "Can I be one of the picture takers? I think that might be amusing."

[Ariel Anderson]

"well then I guess I need to go to class once in a while."She laughed,"Why not, don't know any photographers anyway. You'd probably get a kick out of it."She smiled.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Might not be too great at taking pictures... maybe I'll just point and laugh from afar," I grin. "And yes, go! Go to class before they set the acromantula on you!"

[Ariel Anderson]

"uh, what's an acromantula?"Ariel asked,"Picture taker or bystandard, either one would work."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Okay," I nod, grinning slightly. "I'll think about it. And an acromantula is a giant spider... supposedly there's a colony of them living in the forest, and that was the big threat when I was a first year. Older students were always threatening to send us to the acromantula if we didn't do what they wanted."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Oh my! I don't like spiders and I doubte my little froggy could eat those."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Your little froggy? No, he probably couldn't. I love spiders though, have a few as pets." I grin.

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yeah, Gizmorella. Happy go lucky, pain in the butt tree frog. As long as they aren't in a postition to bite me, I'm happy."

[Fitzy Patricks]

I laugh. "Eh, most spiders won't bite you anyway... or if they do you're unlikely to die. And did you say your frog's name is Gizmorella?"

[Ariel Anderson]

"Really? I never knew that, I always just assumed that they bit you. Changes my outlook on them a bit."She smiled,"Yep Gizmorella."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"That's a very interesting name," I nod, then grin. "And you probably shouldn't take my scientific knowledge especially seriously... I have no idea which spiders bite and which ones don't."

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel gulped,"Ok, I only like spiders that are in a contained area. I can watch those."She laughed,"Yeah, my sister got a male and named him Gizmo. So since I got the female I named her Gizmorella."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Ah... well, that makes perfect sense." I grin. "And yeah, I guess that's safer... until they break out and kill you, that is."

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel gave a small chuckle,"Yeah, cause I won't have the sense to whip out my wand. I'll just turn and run and then trip and fall and be eaten alive. Well probably injected with some type of venom and then hung from the ceiling until I look juicy enough."

[Fitzy Patricks]

I laugh. "That was vivid... hm. Maybe you should just not go near any spiders."

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel laughed,"Sorry about that. Yeah, I agree. Me + spiders = big no no."

[Fitzy Patricks]

I nod. "And apparently you and broomsticks... are you just kind of a danger to yourself in general or what?" I ask with a grin.

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel laughed,"Now that you ask, I'd have to say that I am."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Hm... well, that's bad. Maybe you should walk around with pillows strapped all over," I shrug. "And then when you meet spiders, perhaps they'll eat the pillows and you wiggle free and escape."
