They say that you learn something new everyday. And this was no exception one night as Charlie found a location she had never explored. The roof.
It had been a careful journey uptop. It seemed impossible, but she finally made it with good climbing skills and a scraped knee.
Balancing herself to stand correctly, she pounded her chest and for some reason howled into the night. One could blame her insanity on the surplus of chocolate frogs under her bed.

Drew had climbed his way out onto the roof shortly after hearing Charlie's yell. His intentions were different than the Slytherin girl's, and had carried a backpack along with him.
"You guys changing your house mascot to gorilla?" Drew asked, grinning at her as he took a perch nearby.

After the last comment, she made another chest-pounding howl before finally acknowledging. "I was thinkin' a mix of a gorilla and a wolf," Charlie said to the familiar voice. Turning to Drew, she nodded furiously. "Wouldn't that be frickin' brillant and awesome?"

"Hey.. I know there are restricitions on cross-breeding magical creatures," Drew said, thinking very carefully. "You think we could get away with cross-breeding two non-magical creatures like that?"

"Hey! Maybe we can!" Charlie made a tip-toe jump-- where one would jump, but never getting off the ground-- but decided against any jumping, period. "But I have dibs on keeping it as my pet. That would be one dangerous animal...." She still nodded madly, but the last comment sounded impressed and more for herself.

"You have to share," Drew insisted, figuring he had the rights as well since he helped come up with the idea. "Of course it's going to be dangerous. Like a basilisk. Only we'd be able to control the thing. Now all we need is a cool name."

"Grolf? Wolfilla? Wolfenstein?" Charlie piped up without a beat. They were bad names, but that made no concern to the girl. "Joneston? Jo...Johnston? No, that's a name..." She murmured under breath trying to come up with a name.

"Joneston? Wasn't that the place that they drank the poison Kool-aid?" Drew asked. "Definitely not that one.... primate and a canine..." he mused before realizing what creature they were actually talking about. "Hey, what if that's how the first werewolf came along..."

"A man doing the mating call with a wolf?" Charlie burst out laughing but still kept her balance. She didn't want to recreate the fall from the statue when Hiro tried to save her. "I wonder how those pieces fit..."

(Is this the fourth year tower reunion?)
Hiro was just in earshot for the last part, completely confussed and slightly grossed out, he debated whether he should go up or avoid the whole thing. Flicker however had no problem going through the window towards the two talking, like he did to make Kellen scream when the ravens were up on the roof way back.

{it is now...}
"I'm just saying we should think it through if we're creatign a werewolf type creature," Drew told her. "I mean, I figure like a basilisk, we'd be able to control it, but still, maybe that's what happened with the first one, getting out of control and such."

( ;D ) "You're the care of magical creatures buff," Charlie concluded, "You probably know how to control it more than me." She didn't think much about the history of making a Basilisk, so it didn't occur to her how they could make a gorilla/wolf hybrid. She wanted to add something else, but was caught on her words when she saw the chameleon scurry across the roof. "Hey! Look at that cool lizard!" (please correct me if Flicker isn't a chameleon or even a lizard )

"I am SO not a Care of Magical Creatures buff," Drew sneered, not wanting it to get out that he was interested in anything as fluffly as creatures. Still, when Charlie pointed out the lizard, he knew exactly what and who it was. "Hey! That's Flicker!"

"Sure..." Charlie made an 'a-OK' sign with her hand. If he got that annoyed with that, then she may have just found a new thing to tease him about.
Watching the lizard jump around and toward them, she grinned and watched it intently. "Who does Flicker belong to?"

"Hiro," Drew answered, picking up the chameleon and looking around to see if he could see the other boy anywhere.
