Erin watched as Martha's face lit up when the group trudged into the library, possibly thinking about all the pranks she could pull.
Madam Pince the schools librarian, glowered at them, with their wet robes and sopping wet hair, untill a spell was used to dry them off. Erin shivered as she felt her hair sizzle, trying not to think about what was happening.
They sat at an unoccupied low round table and Erin slumped into the nearest seat. Untill her gaze wondered over to a table in the corner with hermione sitting by herself.
"I'll be a sec," she said and walked over to sit in front of the girl who was busy reading a huge book. "Soo, did the text for your books come back then?" She asked interrupting the girls train of thoughts.
"Yea, it came back in pink though, so i had to put a charm on it." she sighed, taking her nose out the huge book and glancing at Erin timidly. They hadn't really said much to each other before.
"Oh well thats good. Listen, do you want to sit with us, this break?" Erin asked feeling guilty for the girl being on her own.
"no thats okay erin, i need to get this book finished for monday anyway." she said beaming across the table.
"well okay, but if you decide to later, you can always come across." Erin said standing up and leaving hermione to read.
Back at her own table there was currently a discussion on the use of water bombs in the library.

Alice smiled over at Hermione how looked happy enough over on her own, her train of though was interrupted though by Martha's talk on water bombs...
"I'm telling you Ali" said Martha "When using water bombs stay away from the red ones they explode" she said smugly jotting something down in her jotter, Martha was up to something again.....
Alice laughed and Erin came back over to join them and joined in the discussion. Martha was currently balancing books on top of one another and made a little tower Alice had a light bulb moment and grabbed some more hard back books indiccating Erin to do the same. "Lets build a tower" she said laughing as she placed the books on top of one an other so they balanced with out falling over.
"Come on lets make a giant fortress" said Alice laughing as she moved the tower onto the floor, Madam Prince was busy with a long line of first years that each held a very long book list so they wouldn't get caught.
Alice was now sitting in the middle building on the inside with martha on her right and Erin working on the large walls

Erin laughed as the trio built the tower higher and higher, moulding the edges around the high book cases so the librarian wouldn't be as likely to see their fortress.
She built turrets on one side angling the books so they made a kind of spire, and then she set to work on the windows and big arch doorway.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Martha building an even bigger, spire and then going down on all fours to create a dungeon. It took a while for Erin to realise that they were in a passible not-to-scale model of Hogwarts.She suppressed a laugh and crawled out of the hidden doorway that was mostly located under the table.
Once out of their mini-hogwarts she sat down at the table and got out her wand and began to practice some mild forms of magic that she could use to decorate the ROR.
She twirled her wand into a figure of eight shape and muttered an incatation, small flowers flowed from the end of her wand, twisting around each other to form a black stalk wreath and flowers of all the colours of the different hogwarts houses woven into stalks. she smiled satisfied with her work and swished her wand to the left so the wreath vanished.
Then she spun her wand around in a complicated little pattern, stars, hearts and moons burst from the tip and rained down on the table, each twinkling and shimmering as the twirled through the air. She supposed she could use this magic at the end or at the start.
She sighed and let her eyes drift as she thought back to history of magic and the conversations they had had in hagrids hut.

Alice laughed at the trio's handiwork. "this looks totally awesome!" [ooc-ah another reference to a very potter musical]
She grinned at her friends handiwork, Erin was good with decorating she had a good eye for stuff like this. "So whats up Rin?" Alice asked her friend who looked deep in thought about something

"Wha-?" Erin jumped, startledout of her reverie, Oh, nothing i'm fine, just thinking about the party tonight." She said, not telling a lie exactly but only a half truth.
"Hmm, i think i'll use green water-ballons, tonight!" Martha said, crawling out from underneath the table and taking a quick peek inside her jotter.
"Yay, go Slytherin pride." Erin said laughing and high fiveing her friend. "So what time shall i meet you up there, so we can start with the decorating?" Erin asked, offering a hand to Alice as she crawled out of the fortress.
"Mmmmm, i'll come up later if it's okay with you, just got some stuff to do first. Some Filch stuff!" Martha said, wiggling her eyebrows and thinking of Peeves.

Alice grinned.
"What are you planning to distract Umbridge and Filch?" she asked Martha who just smirked.
"you'll see" she said laughing "just stay away from defense against the dark arts for a while" she said laughing.
Alice was slightly scared by martha she grinned at Erin.
"Erm.. be there at about half seven that gives us a good half hour and the ror won't take that long to deocorate especially with magic" said Alice
"We better go find October and Andie I think they wanted to work on food" said Alice smiling "Lets see they'll probably be in the kitchen talking to the head house elf" said Alice "lets go and find them"she said to her two friends before running out of the libary not bothering to tidy up there master peice, they got half way down the corridor when they heard Madam Prince scream laughing they sped up and ran to the kitchens

Dakota, Erik and Luna walked into the Library just to see Alice, Martha and Erin dart out quickly. Dakota was going to say hello, but Erik glared at him before the ravenclaw could even lift a finger. Blushing madly, Dakota headed over to a soft armchair, and plopped himself in it. He opened his care of magical creatures book, and began flipping through the pages. "Oh, Luna, look on page 57, its a vampire." He smiled, remembering Luna's assumption that Kain Winters was a vampire. He read down the list of characteristics of a vampire. "We should see if all these fit him." He joked, and turned the page to his actual homework page. He wasn't really going to do that, but he should've realized that Luna would be alittle more serious about that. he looked up at her, hoping she wasn't still looking at the picture of the vampire.
Erik was looking at the shelfs diligently, and picked out a book called "Forever in Bloom." He threw it on the ground, and Madam Prince glared at him from behind her desk.

Actually the idea of running Kain through the checklist did sound like a good idea to Luna, but she decided to save that for later. She sat down in a chair beside Dakota and turned to the same page as Dakota. "What did you think of the kneazle in Care for Magical Creatures Dakota?" She asked quietly.
She looked cooly at Erik when he threw a book to the ground, she didn't dislike Erik, but she did wish he'd be more like his cousin. She was sure that if Hermione was here then she'd probably hex him for treating books in such a manner.

"the Kneazle?" Dakota questioned. He had forgotten about it, actually. He was glad that Luna wasn't going to actually take Dakota seriously about the Kain idea. And, if she was, he was glad she wasn't going to do it with Dakota, because he would feel guilty if he was the reason everyone knew Kain was a vampire. If he was, of course.
"Well, the Kneazle was nice to me, but I heard some of them bit others." He chuckled, and looked over at Erik, who just kept flipping through books and tossing them on the ground. Sighing, he turned back to Luna. "What did you think? I bet you loved them, you seemed to like them alot in class." He added, and smiled at her.

October, Andie, Alice, Martha and Erin trouped into the library, Madam Prince glared at the rather noisy group and pressed a finger to her pursed lips, October sat down quickly before the librarian could tell her to quieten down, in an armchair close to Luna, Dakota and a boy she'd seen in class called Erik, she grinned at waved at them.
"I hope Draco comes, I noticed you were in the courtyard with him earlier today and the two of you seemed so sweet together, perhaps Penelope could drop a hint for Kain to invite him" October said casually to Andie, whilst making a start on her divination homework. "oh, I never asked you, do you have an outfit in mind for tonight?" she added

Erin sweeped her eyes over to where the fortress had been and was slightly dissapointed to see their tribute to hogwarts had been cleared away. She sat down in a squashy arm chair and turned to nod to Dakota, Luna and Erik, she hadn't really spoken to any of them before.
She sighed as she got out her Care Of Magical creatures page, stroking the spine before it could take a bite out of her, seriously the things were funny, thinking that they were a lot stronger than they actually were. She turned to the page devoted to Kneazles and set about answering the questions that Hagrid had set them for home-work, seeing as he couldn't finished his lesson.
She had figured on the way up that she had better get her homework done now so she wouldn't pretend to worry about it at the party.
Martha sat down next to her and took out her notebook again, writing quickly and then snapping the book closed again, what was she up to? Erin thought.

Luna smiled happily, "Oh I loved them. I'm glad that Hagrid is the professor for this class. I'm sure he knows alot about magical creatures. Maybe I should give him a subcription to The Quibbler.. He'd surely find alot of interesting creatures by reading that." Luna said.
When she noticed that October and a few others sitting in the library, she waved at them.
She then returned to her book and her homework, actually she had already finished it.. but she knew this was the only way to get Dakota to agree to go to the party and Luna really liked parties.. even if she hadn't really been invited to that many.
"What do you think you're favorite subject will be this year Dakota?" She asked quietly.

Gryffin came running into the library, a huge grin spread across his face. Madam Prince glared at him, causing him to slow down to a walk, until he got close to where Luna, Dakota, October, Erin, and a few others were sitting.
"Have you all heard about what happened to Umbridge?" He asked.
After it became clear that none of them did, he quickly went on, "Someone turned her into a toad!" He said, a little too loudly which caused Madam Prince to glare at him again. He held his hands up in surrender before turning back to the girls and Dakota.
"She's in the hospital wing right now, but they can't reverse the spell. Madam Pomfrey said that it just had to wear off but Umbridge is stuck in the hospital wing until then. Apparently its fairy magic. Professor Snape said that there was some missing from his cupboard." Gryffin continued.

Erin cocked an eybrow at Martha after hearing what happened to Umbridge, but Martha just shrugged. Clearly she hadn't turned Umbridge into a toad, she must be planning something bigger.
"Oh cool," Erin said turning to gryffin, "How long ago did that happen then?" She asked, that left only filch to take care of so the students could get to the ROR tonight in safety, with no fear of what Umbridge could do to them.

Alice had wondered in after the others a big smile spread across her face.
She sat down on the floor she couldn't be bothered with getting chair.
"I think Mr Hagrids a great teacher" said Alice contributing to the conversation "he seems to know a lot about magical creatures"
Alice cheered when Gryffin came runnung in to the libary and said about Umbridge.
"Finally, some one taught her a lesson" she said. "She was dreadful in Defense against the dark arts" said Alice.
"So" she said "Any one got any plans for Filch" she asked wondering who would take down the old miser.
She looked towards Martha who was writing down something furiously in her jotter oh no what was she up to now...
