"Now that is an idea, it would save me alot of pain."She laughed.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Well, you're welcome," I grin. "Don't know how well it will work, but it should help out a little."

[Ariel Anderson]

"As long as it helps. I just hope I don't run into any spiders either way."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Yeah, probably best that way," I nod.

[Ariel Anderson]

"yeah, it would save some pillows from being torn to shreds as well."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Always a good idea... think that they're endangered," I nod.

[Ariel Anderson]

"Oh, well I wouldn't want to help endanger them. I'll start a save the pillow fund."She smiled.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Oh... that'll be real successful," I laugh. "Look... not to be coldhearted or anything, but I for one am not going to donate to a fund to save the pillows from extinction. I hope you understand."

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel laughed,"You'd be one of the smarter ones not to. I'd most likely forget my cause and just keep the money anyway."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"How very deceitful of you," I say, raising my eyebrows again. "There are probably better and potentially easier ways to get money, you know."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Of course there are."She smiled,"This one just seems to be less noticable if the money went missing. I could just transfigure some pieces of paper to look like pillows, that way people would see that they aern't 'wasting' their money."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Clever but still quite deceitful of you," I laugh. "And maybe we could just do that to begin with instead of starting a fund."

[Ariel Anderson]

"In that case i should just go around asking people for money."She laughed,"But the I would seem like a hobo and I can assure you that I have a home. My cardboard box on the corner isn't much but at least it's something."She joked.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Ever thought about moving into the castle up there?" I ask, nodding at Hogwarts with a grin. "They take in strays sometimes... although usually the strays have to learn stuff in return."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Hmmm me? Learn stuff? You're funny. I'll stick with the box."She laughed.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"You just don't want to make any effort to better yourself, do you?" I ask, half-joking and shaking my head. "I hope it's a lovely box."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Nope, not really. But you should be proud, I went to two classes."She grinned."It's lovely I even made a window."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"That seems kind of... defeating the purpose of having a cardboard box," I say, raising my eyebrows. "But as long as you're happy with it." I grin, and pretend to wipe away a tear. "And yes... I'm very proud of you, Ariel. What classes did you go to?"

[Ariel Anderson]

Ariel laughed,"Ancient Runes and Herbology. I discovered that some plants move."She joked.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Seventeen years old and you find out that plants move..." I sigh and shake my head. "Isn't Ancient Runes kind of a dead, useless subject?"

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yep, sad to say."She laughed,"Yeah, it kind of is. It's really boring and hard to understand. But then again I didn't pay any attention."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Now there's a good way to learn anything," I say, shaking my head and rolling my eyes. Then I smile slightly so I'm not being too hard on her. "At least you enjoyed Herbology."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yeah, I kind of got distracted in that class. I caught up with an old friend."She said giving a small chuckle.

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Oh yeah? What old friend?" I ask, curious, deciding not to continue commenting on the fact that it hardly counts as going to class if she doesn't pay any attention.

[Ariel Anderson]

"Ebony Angel. Her boyfriend is my cousin."She shrugged,"I know talking in class isn't really helping learn anything." She laughed,"But I promise to sit down and actually listen in a class."

[Fitzy Patricks]

I nod at the first bit, since I don't know her, then grin. "I'll believe it when I see it. Which I may or may not.... Have you got Defense, Charms, Potions, Arithmancy, or Divination?"

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yeah, all of them. I just haven't gone."She chuckled,"But that means I have a 1 in 5 chance of actually paying attention in at least one class!"

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Wow," I say, lifting my eyebrows in surprise. "So you're taking seven classes? Are you mad?" I shake my head, laughing slightly. "Maybe you'd be able to pay better attention if you got rid of some of them and stuck with your strengths."

[Ariel Anderson]

"Yeah, probably...I'll ditch ancient runes...I don't understand that class anyways. And I'll get rid of Arithmancy. That should help. I'm pretty good at potions and Divination though. So maybe I can pass those."

[Fitzy Patricks]

"Good idea," I nod. "Never really figured out why I'm taking Arithmancy anyways... too bloody complicated." And occasionally fun.
