On winged boars (waiting 4 darius & bradley)

[snailo]

Sitting on top of one of the winged boars at the gate of Hogwarts, Faye looked out onto the grounds and around the place -
a. to see if darius and bradley were anywhere around
b. to see the grounds from above
and c. just to see what it was like to be on top of a winged boar. With a strawberry lollypop sticking out of her mouth, her hair platted in two and a pair of binoculars around her neck she looked like a deranged fairy who was about to commit suicide. Swinging her legs around and sitting on top of the boars' head she leant back on the wings and started to sing a random song that came to her head, hoping that either Darius or Bradley would recognize her voice and accompany her on top of the winged boars. Twiddling their wands between her fingers she waited patiently for them...

ooc: i like reason c. I laughed outloud.
From the Ravenclaw common room, Darius, who was doing his potions homework, heard a distant voice belting out a song Darius had never heard before. He (carefully) leaned out the window and squinted his eyes in its general direction, and he saw a small yellow (yellow for hufflepuff robes) figure perched on top of a gargoyle. Darius put on his glasses (he was only slightly myoptic and he was embarrassed about his glasses-- he kept them a secret much of the time) and could see a little clearer, but the scene still didn't make any sense. Faye, sitting on top of a boar with wings, singing at the top of her lungs. Darius removed his glasses and thought, "She's raving mad."
But after a moment of hearing her sing, Darius remembered that she still had his wand, which he needed back for Charms class tomorrow. So he rolled up his parchment and snapped a rubber band over it, stuffed his book bag under his four-poster, and pulled his broom out of the closet.
Darius marched to the window feeling very brave for even thinking about flying out of it, for Darius’ broom often had trouble keeping itself three feet in the air. Darius gripped the handle, put the broom end between his legs and scooted to the ledge.
He nervously scooted for the last time, and the broom capsized him over. Darius prayed the broom had enough magic on it to guide him to Faye as he freefalled, clawing onto his broom. He leveled it out and tried to keep a calm manor as he rapped the bristles with his hand, as a poor substitute for his wand. With each tap the broom would jolt ahead, but then faulter and jerk to a fall again. Darius withdrew his bruised hand and threw all his bodyweight to the left of him, aiming for anything but the ground.
His broom was useless at this point, so as all Darius’ 90 pounds heaved to one side, Darius was screaming with fear, and headed straight for the stone statues.
Hoping not to dislodge Faye, Darius swerved, and ran into the iron bars of the gate. His broom kept falling right through it, and then flew normally until it’s decline forced it to skid across the grass and come to a stop. Darius gripped onto the bars with throbbing bruises on his shoulders (His head had fallen right through two of them, causing his shoulders to press against the bars painfully) and he clambered onto the first horizontal rung he could find.
“Hello, Faye,” Darius mustered. “Do you think you could…?”

[Tibby]

<occ:no u couldnt, in case u didnt know you dont have your wand Faye took it. so how can u use it to help your broom?>
Tibby thought that she had heard nails on a chalk board but when she looked out the hufflepuff common room window she realized that it was Faye's singing. she decided that she might be able to muffle the noise if she closed the window but she was too curious to do so bucause she just saw darius plumet into the fence. so she grabbed her firebolt and jumped out of the window.

Bradley was walking back from Hogsmead, he had just purchased several more yards of parchment. He scanned the grounds and noticed the strange scene unravel before him. Just after Tibby flow out of the window, shortly after Darius, Bradley thought to himself, Sense when is that aloud...? Finally Bradley stood before Faye, Darius, and Tibby. "So what's happening?" Then Bradley remembered something and turned to face Faye. "Do you mind if I have my wand back?"

[snailo]

As Faye was singing she saw Darius jump out the window. She stopped abruptly, horrified but after catching sight of the broom underneath him she let out a sigh of relief. But as she saw him struggle with the broom and later land so awkwardly on the gate, with his head between two bars.
"Ouch..." Faye winced. "Are you OK Darius?" Hoping that his head wasn't stuck between the two bars, she slid down the boar and saw Tibby flying towards her. "Tibby in Hufflepuff?" Faye exclaimed in surprise. But she had no time to contemplate on the idea for Bradley came from behind and asked for his wand. "Oh yeah - sure. I was sitting up there to for you guys so I could return your wands." She smiled, handing Bradley his wand and realised once more when she tried to give the wand to Darius, that he was hurt. She immediately turned to face him and frowned. "Honestly, I don't know what I'm to do with you." She scolded jokingly. She helped Darius up ((i'll assume your head is not stuck between the bars lol)) and took out her wand. But hesitated. "Go to the hospital wing to fix up your bruises. They're going to hurt really bad at night." She said and tucked her wand back in her pocket agian. "I better not pull some charm on you, just in case I make it worse. But I'll tell you what, after we go to the hospital wing, do you guys want to join me on top of the winged boar? It's fun." She laughed. "Seriously it is..." She added, after seeing them stare at her in hesitation.

[dairywizard]

Darius shrugged Faye stubbornly off him, and said, "No, I've been to the hospital wing too often lately. They're just bruises, they don't hurt much, only when I touch my shoulders, which I won't do. The thing I'm mostly worried about is my broom." Darius pressed his face up to the bars and watched his motionless and fallen broom in the distance. "I've had it since my first year so it's rubbish now...you saw how it failed to fly. I guess the magic wore off. I enchanted my mother's housebroom myself on the Hogwarts Express since my muggle parents couldn't buy me a real Quidditch broom in Diagon Alley," Darius sighed. "But i haven't got any good memories from it-- it was always completely useless. At first it flew perfectly, but after a week I had to give it a tap with my wand to get it started at all." Darius looked up at Faye from his seat on the grass.
"So, how'd you get up there in the first place? Did you climb the pillars or jump onto the iron rungs and pull yourself up?" Darius guessed, in awe. The statues were quite high, and Darius was impressed that Faye had managed the climb.

[snailo]

"It's easy." Faye smiled. She demonstrated it by grabbing onto the rails and hoisting herself up, she balanced herself against the brick pillars. Then pushing herself up against the rails she sat on the pillar and clambered onto the boar. "Come join me up here!" She yelled down to him. "And I have an idea...we'll get you a new broom." She grinned excitedly at Darius, sitting on the boar's head once more.

[Tibby]

Tibby skidded to a hult right next to Faye. "And yes im in hufflepuff!"She said boldly.

[sublime]

Bradley sat cross-legged on the grass. I would only try that if I had my broom with me... I thought as he watched Faye climb with such ease. "Right now I have two brooms, a Shooting Star and then a Twigger 90. When my Twigger comes back from the shop Darius you can have my Shooting Star." Bradley offered.

[dairywizard]

Darius nodded his head thankfully at Bradley but said, "Maybe. I think I want something new and updated for a change, but I could pay you for it anyway and send it to my sisters back home."
Darius squinted at Faye while she climbed.
"I'm not sure I can do that, I have barely any arm strength..." Darius mumbled embarrasedly, but hooked his hands onto a rail and hoisted himself up by bracing his legs against the iron bars. He got to a resting place, locked his hands and legs in place, and looked down at the ground, which was now five feet below him.
"Er.."

[Tibby]

"Dont be such a baby darius!" Tibby said flinging herself up next to him. " Hey if you wont i could get you a firebolt, im sure if i told my dad that mine flew into the womping willow than he would get me another one and then you could have it. But then again knowing him he would get me a custom made one like Pracila's, if he did that i would give this one to you, or maybe the custom made one. So what do you think, you wont me to send a letter to my dad? you could get a great broom."

[dairywizard]

"Wow," Darius sighed, blinking stupidly at Tibby. "A Firebolt? If you did write your dad, I'd give you 30 galleons at least! Wow..." Darius rubbed his face with his hand. "You'd do that? You know, I could always just go back to Hogsmeade and...a Firebolt!"

[Tibby]

"yea id do that. your one of my friends, and you dont even have to give me a knickle." Tibby said with a slight chuckle in her voice."you could also get a custom made one, what ever my dad gets me."

[Tibby]

<occ:where r u?>

[dairywizard]

Darius looked at Tibby, astonished. He had thought that Tibby had begun to avoid him after he shouted at her in the Great Hall when she cast the patronus.
"So it's really going to happen then?" Darius grinned, elated. "This is fantastic!" With a spring of excitement Darius hoisted himself up to another rung, and from there grasped a stone handle. He pulled himself up onto the Gargoyle that Faye was sitting on and sat there, pleased with himself, pleased with the day.
"Thank you, Tibby!"
