"It'll have a better effect if it's set off inside." Fearless shouted over the din. "I put off one inside the girl's dorm, it didn't do much, just burned off the wallpaper. I managed to put up new wallpaper without anyone noticing!" Fearless grinned. "Be sure to look out for some fireworks during dinner!" Fearless then wandered around the shop, pushing and squeezing, till she found some fake wands, which closely resembled her friends' wands.

"Oh... um..."
Andromeda looked down at the house elf, momentarily startled. "Er... yes. I came in to look for Pro-- I mean, sneakoscopes. Where are those?" She decided to give up her search for the professor, since he had probably gone into the back or something, and with this house elf nearby, she couldn't sneak around properly.

The House Elf gestures to the left "Right this way missus, the masters have a good variety of sneakoscopes, varying ranges, prices and novelty additions. If you has more questions please feel free to ask." She smiles uncertainly then squeaking in alarm she excuses herself and runs off to another corner of the shop where a series of bangs is issuing from a cuckoo clock hung on the wall while several awestruck students watch.
~~~~~~~~
As Richard watches the comings and going of the Shrieking Shack as two fairies buzz past on their way to the Equality Headquarters. Barely a foot past Rich the pivot in the air and dart back towards him. Flying around his head the cherrup in their unintelligibly high pitched voices. Then diving to his waist they begin to tug at his hands that are shoved deep in his pockets.
"Hey, knock it off!" Rich exclaims struggling against the fairies surprisingly strong tugs. One of the fairies bites his wrist in it's attempt to extract Rich's hand and with a yelp of pain Rich takes off back down the road with both hands still buried in pockets. The fairies buzz along after his trilling in excitement, flitting to and fro in their chase. Desperate Rich ducks and weaves and then finally darts into a nearby shop door. Slamming into several patrons of Zonko's Richard falls on his hands and knees, but instead of getting up crawls across the floor to hide beneath one of the displays. The next person who enters the store lets in the two fairies who flit about around the ceiling searching for Rich and trying to avoid being set afire by house animals or run into by fluffy bat-balls.

Lyra grins at Fearless's story. "Nice. I'll be sure to look out for fireworks." Lyra makes a circuit of the store while waiting for Fearless, looking at the various items on the shelves and slowly threading her way through the masses of people. As she reaches the door, it opens and a boy rushes in and slams into her, causing her to bump into a few other people. "Hey!" Lyra apologizes to the people she bumped into, blushing and trying to explain that it wasn't her fault. Noticing that the boy is crawling away, (and finding this to be rather strange behavior) she threads her way through the crowd after him. Lyra squats down next to the display the boy has hidden under and looks sideways at him with an expression of confusion, curiosity, and mild irritation on her face. "You really ought to be more careful, you know. And why exactly are you hiding under a display?"

Rich frowns at Lyra with a rather bemused look in his eye. Behind her head he sees the fairies circling toward this side of the shop and grabbing her by her wrist pulls her under the table as well and presses them both back toward the the wall. He cocks his head to one side trying to listen for fairy chatter among the noise of too many teenaged students yammering to each other. He squints his eyes and tries to shift more to his left and bumps into Lyra freezing at the contact. He flushes and mumbles "sahray ias jesshiyen frm.....sufuries..." He sucks in the side of his cheek and begins to nibble on it while sliding a sideways glance at Lyra. "mm Rich." He screws up his eyes even tighter knowing that a biting retort was on it's way, he didn't know Lyra very specifically but he did know she was a year older, a Ravenclaw and most horribly a girl.

Fearless took the wands and went around the shop looking for some fireworks. "Ahh, there it is!" She paid for her purchase and took the purple package that the cashier passed to her. As she was about to exit the shop, she thought about Lyra. "s**t, I was here with Lyra... Where is she now?" She glanced around and try to spot a head full of blonde-colored hair. But the problem was that the shop was suddenly filled with lots of blonde-heads. This is real bad... Should I try calling out? "Lyra!" Fearless called out as she walked around the shop, trying hard to find her companion. She then stepped on something hard. A leg. She looked down and saw that the leg is connected to a torso and that the torso is connected to a head. Curiously, she bent down and saw a boy, with Lyra. "Lyra? What are you doing here... umm... hiding with a boy under a table?" Fearless was blushing as she thought that she saw something that wasn't meant for her to see. "Umm... I'm really sorry." She straightened up, trying to disguise her laughs as hacking coughs. She glanced at the other things on sale as she tried really hard to control the laughter bubbling out of her. When she couldn't control it anymore, she laughed really loudly, making almost everyone in the shop stare at her in shock. rofl

Lyra is startled as she is pulled under the table and pushed back against the wall. She sits there for a minute, recovering, and realizes that the boy either has serious mental issues or is quite terrified of something. He bumps into her again and she jumps slightly, watching his reaction with amusement. As he mumbles something, Lyra only catches the last couple words and becomes even more confused and irritated. "What are you...?!" She stops, realizing that yelling isn't going to help the situation. Taking a deep breath, she starts over again. "Why are we under the table?" Attempting to give him a bit of room, Lyra twists to the side so that she is facing him rather than sitting next to him.
A moment later, Fearless appears, looking under the table. "I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing under a table. I wondered the same thing myself." Lyra raises her eyebrows as Fearless tries to disguise her laughter. "What are you laughing at?" Poking her head out from under the table, Lyra sees that everyone is staring at Fearless. She quickly hides back under the table before everyone notices her, leaving Fearless to deal with the situation. As she waits for Fearless to calm down (and deal with the staring people), Lyra turns back to the boy.
"I'm Lyra. It's..." Lyra pauses, looking for the right word. With an amused half-smile, she continues. "It's nice to meet you." She holds out her hand.

When Fearless pops her head under the table Rich's eyes widen and his stricken face drains of the red that was flushed there only a moment before. He turns his deer-in-the-headlight eyes to Lyra as she introduces herself and gapes at her a moment before dazedly taking her hand and saying "I'm Richard Mathers, uh Rich. I'm really sorry..." The fairies who had been about to leave turn with the rest of the shoppers to stare at Fearless, and flit through the air above everyone's head towards her. They bob closer together eyeing first Fearless and then sharply the table in front of which she stands. One chitters towards the other excitedly and they dive past Fearless and slip under the table. They are momentarily surprised to see both Lyra and Rich but then pounce on Lyra's and Rich's hands that are still locked in a handshake. One grapples Lyra's hand to break the connection, biting with tiny sharp teeth and clawing and squeaking while the other scrabbles at a dark grey stone ring upon Rich's right ring finger.
((Also, and official announcement I'd like to make. I think I'm going to bump Rich up a year since all three of you are in the 4th year it will be more fun to have everyone there so that they can all have classes together. All the characters should be familiar with each other being in the same year, though maybe not on speaking terms. Also, I tried drawing the girls and Rich and was almost done when I remembered why I don't draw a) group pictures and b) anyone not an adult: because I le suck hard core at it. I might try again and just draw them separately and as adults because that is apparently all I'm good at, however, if any of you are interested in giving me anything more specific on their girl (haircut would be great, or style choices) I might draw everyone at a Yule Ball (because dresses are better than uniforms and it is Christmas time) sometime in the future and then maybe photoshop them into the same picture (yay!) so if you want google some pictures and pm the links to me or whatever. Wow, lots of OCC chatter here sorry!))

"What the....Ow!" Lyra exclaims as two creatures fly under the table and bite their hands. Letting go of Rich's hand, Lyra shakes her hand, trying to dislodge the creature. Realizing that this isn't going to work, she grabs the back of the creature's neck quite hard with her other hand and manages to pull it off. "Hold still!" Lyra tells Rich, and grabs the creature attacking his hand. She holds them both carefully at arm's length, gripping then hard enough that they have no ope of getting away.
Feeling a dull throbbing in her hand, Lyra notices that it is bleeding, as is Rich's. "Are you ok?" Knowing that they can't use magic except in school, she suggests, "Perhaps we'd better find one of the professors to deal with these creatures and our hands. If that fails, we can make our way back to the school and go to the hospital wing. I'll see if Fearless will help us."
Trying to ignore the pain in her hand, Lyra uses her foot to tap Fearless on the leg. "We have a bit of a problem. These things," she holds up the creatures, "tried to bite us. We're both bleeding and a little stuck under here. Would you mind taking them so that we can get out? Be careful though. Their bites hurt, and they're desperately trying to escape. If you hold them by the backs of their necks, they can't bite you or get out of your grip very easily."
[[I agree that you should move Rich up a year.
I'm terrible at drawing. I'd like to see the pictures if you're willing to let me, even if you don't think they're very good. I'll try to give you more info about Lyra, but I can't do it right now.]]

"Okay, sure." Fearless replied, still chortling. She grabbed the creatures' neck and held on, no matter how much they struggled. She brought one quite close to her face, to study it. And it bit her. "Yikes. What are these disgusting creatures?" Both creatures struggled all the more anxiously. "Lyra, where did you get these creatures?" Fearless asked as she bent down once more. She saw the boy's face. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw that it was the boy whom she met at the corridors before the wretched Defense Against Dark Arts class. "Hi! We've met before. Remember the corridor outside the History of Magic classroom?" She straightened up once more and gripped the creatures more tightly. "You better come up faster. I can't hold them much longer." Fearless warned as she shook the creatures.
[[I agree with Lyra. And I'll give you the links once I found the pictures. XD]]

"Thanks." Lyra carefully hands the creatures to Fearless and twists around so that she can crawl out from under the table. "Fearless, don't hold them that close to your face!.... I did tell you they bite." Lyra suppresses a sigh and crawls out. Standing up, she turns around to give Rich a hand up. "I'm not sure where they came from. I wondered the same thing actually. Now lets see if we can find one of the professors, and try to sort this out."

((Has anyone seen Junimaia? She hasn't posted in a while... Here is the picture that I gave up on as per request.  Oh, and Lyra next time your character is doing something like catching fairies could you roll for it? It isn't a big deal at all, but Fearless why don't you roll to keep hold of them for now. Thanks Guys!))
Grimacing Rich grabs unto Lyra's hand, he half smiles at Fearless "Yeah...sure, uh hi." He brushes off his pants and noticing that everyone is still staring in their direction. He flushes from his cheeks down to his color. He shifts himself so that the cloud of Fearless's blond hair blocks his face from the mass of on lookers. "You really think we should get professors?" he questions hesitantly.

(( Ah... sorry about that. I'm still around; I've just been too preoccupied to think up worthy posts for this thread. And I didn't want to post Andromeda idly milling around the store... that's boring O_o' ))
Andromeda walked out of Dervish & Banges toting a newly purchased bagged sneakoscope in her right hand and the bit of parchment in the other. She gave up the idea of waiting for the Professor, figuring she had better things to do anyway. "I need better hobbies..." Feeling parched, she strolled down the street towards The Three Broomsticks; she was just passing by the Zonko's shop when she stopped to look down at her bag. The sneakoscope was whistling. "Huh?"
Just then, a couple girls walked out of the shop chattering about the weirdness they just witnessed, "I bet he was stealing something."
"Well he wasn't doing it well; Hufflepuff's are stupid."
Just then one of the girls turned her head, and Andromeda recognized her as the one demanding notes back at the castle.
"AH," Andromeda exclaimed a little too loudly. The slytherin girls jumped and stared at her quizzically. "Ah... oh... uh... ahhhh nice day, yes? " biggrin The girls just shook their heads and walked away from her. Andromeda just rolled her eyes and patted at her trusty sneakoscope in the bag.

"Lyra, take it." Fearless said as she passed the creatures to Lyra. But she misjudged the distance and accidentally let both of them lose. "I am so clumsy!" Fearless chided herself as she fished out her wand. But remembering Lyra's words on "we're not supposed to use magic outside school", she hesitated and the creatures flew further away. Frustrated, Fearless turn to the other two. "Sorry! But now what should we do?"
