Detention of the forrest children and play writes

[Felicity Hjort]

Giving an exasperated look at the Slytherin, she rolled her eyes quite effectively. She just didn't see the point in going after the door after they'd already been told it was going to be locked. There wasn't much sense in it in her mind. Why would the professor tell them it was going to be locked and then not lock it?

Turning back to her bit of armour, after giving a long look at the older Ravenclaw, she quickly returned her attention to what was in front of her, not sure if he was going to be mad at her now for being mad at him over something so trivial. Dipping her scrub brush back into the warm, soapy water, she could help but think of how it felt like nice bath water, and just how relaxing a bath was. Of course, it wasn't bath water, didn't smell the same, and it wasn't in a nice big tub, it was in a bucket, and Felicity hadn't lived before tubs and hoped there would always be tubs after her, washing up from a bucket just didn't sound right.

However, she was brought out of her thoughts when she heard a soft laughing, and turning to look in the direction of her dark haired friend, she didn't understand why she'd be giggling, it really wasn't that funny, the washing of the armour. Turning back to her own armour, she pulled out an arm and began a furious attack on it, until she heard the giggling coming from her friend.

Maybe she'd been laughing about the sponges being thrown, but she hadn't thought it was all that funny, maybe her friend was just over-tired as well. "Hey, Celina," she called out to the girl. "What's so funny over that way, hmmm?"

If it was any good, she should share it, pass around a bit of joy.

Braxton wasn’t sure who Drew’s comment was directed at. Was he talking to himself telling himself to just let the Gryffindor’s bad mood go? Or was he talking to Celina who seemed to be holding the suit of armor in the most inappropriate place possible? He didn’t know she liked tin men. Well that was a shock. Or was Drew addressing him about the sponge thing? Well this one was the most probable considering he had just grabbed his sponge out of mid air and placed it back in their bucket. Darn Drew, didn’t he know that throw was perfect and directly on target for Trixi’s oversized head? Oh he would let it go for now, but he would be getting his revenge later on when neither of them were suspecting it. But for now he just said, “Alright,” before adding with a laugh, “but I think you might want to tell Celina to let it go too. She seems to have some kind of fetish with men in armor or something.”

[Celina Jedynak]

Celina by that time had let go, and as she listened to the giggling coming from the armour and then the younger raven's comments, well she was about on wits ends again. "You know a bit much for your age, don't you think?" Celina snarled at Braxton just a bit before going back to scrubbing the suit of armor. She could have cried or even yelled at this point, just like the small Slytherin, but instead she got an even better idea.

"It's not me laughing....Trixie, I'm sure you are better at finding the source of some things.....your small and look innocent....I'm sure they've gotten you far. Come help me a bit find the laughing...." Celina started to look around the suit of armor almost wondering if Peeves was actually making an appearance. Celina hoped though, that with all the cleaning they had to accomplish, he wasn't.

[spicer]

Braxton just smiled as he heard Celina's response. What could he say Raven's were just the top of their class. Of course he knew more than he was suppose to, why in the world would she think he didn't? "Nope," Braxton said right on cue after Celina snarled at him. Well the tiger was now fratinizing with the enemy. What was she doing asking Trixi to come and help her out? Well if Trixi indeed consented too come then she would need her sponge wouldn't she? Yep, and Braxton was more than happy to oblige and throw it over in the direction it would be needed. "Well if Trixi's going to be over there, you might as well take her sponge," Braxton said as he grabbed it out of the bucket, soppinng wet, and chucked it over in Celina's direction. It would be such a shame if it hit the older Raven, or worse all of the area that she had just cleaned. But who knew where it would land, it was just in the air at the moment.

[Celina Jedynak]

Before Trixie could even respond it seemed, or Celina even react a sponge was hurled at her by the younger Raven. Maybe there was reason why Celina never associated with people, including her own Raven house. Celina squeeked a bit and covered her face, bracing for an impact that would never come. A loud crash and a few droplets onto her hands that covered her face, Celina opened her eyes slowly to find that the suit of armor had moved the sword he held right infront of the path of the flying sponge. Celina slowly peeled herself away from her arms and looked up at the suit.

Never again would she think them useless. And if it wasn't for the young Raven already accusing her of such vulgar things, she would have hugged the 'tin man' right then and there. At least someone was looking out for her benefit.

[Trixi Turner]

Trixi smirked as her sponge hit Braxton. Haha sucked in to him. Trixi also smirked as he tried to respond but had his sponge snatched out of thin air and dropped back into the bucket. Well good.He had someone stopping him from causing trouble. Trixi was amazed however as one of the girls in the room spoke to her. She was even more surprised that the girl wasn't scolding her but rather inviting her to join her. Trixi smiled, so the girl thought she looked innocent. That always worked to her advantage.

However before she moved Braxton launched a sponge at the girl. Well at least she had hesitated before moving. However Trixi was quite impressed as the suit or armour protected the girl. Trixi grabbed a large handful of sponges and headed over to where the girl was. Trixi would be able to launch the sponges at Braxton from this vantage point and hopefully the suit of armour would keep protecting them. "What did you want me to do?" she questioned the girl curiously. It was unlikely that if the girl said for Trixi to help clean that she would. Infact it was unlikely that Trixi would do anything the girl asked, but she might if she wanted to. Trixi baely listened to other people. However if the girl asked she had better chance then the girl demanding, which was what she had been doing anyway. Trixi dropped the multiple sponges into the girls bucket of water. That way they would be nice and soaked for when she decided was a good time to attack Braxton again.

[Drew Thornton]

Drew snorted at the comments between Celina and Brax. Celina had obviously never spent much time with boys. Any guy over the age of nine knew about that stuff.

The Ravenclaw girl called the Slytherin over and Drew thought that might be a good thing until Brax threw a sponge at them. "Cut it out with the sponge throwing," Drew told the kid, getting down to his level. If the Littledude didn't, Drew would be happy to use him as a sponge. "Do what you're supposed to and we get out of here faster, got it?"

[spicer]

Well apparently the suit of armor had a fetish with Celina too. They really did make a cute couple and all. What with her touching him fondly and him protecting her.....yep they were made for each other.

Then just as Braxton was about to point this out it seemed that Drew was getting a bit upset with him. He couldn't quite figure out why. He was just trying to return Trixi's sponge to her after all. "I was just trying to get it over there so that Trixi could help out once she went there," Brax said with a small shrug. "Since she is slacking on the helping part at the moment." He didn't really see the problem, it wasn't like he was aiming for Celina. He had just tossed it over in her general direction.

[Drew Thornton]

"Don't throw the sponges," Drew told him again. "If you need to give her a sponge then you walk it over like a gentleman and hand it to her, got it?" Of course, Drew doubted that had really been Brax's motive, but he wasn't going to argue the point. "You walk across the room and you place it in her hand, understand? And don't worry about what Pixie-girl is or isn't doing. Atwood said he'd deal with her if she acted up, right? You do what you're supposed to do and keep yourself out of bigger trouble, okay?"

[spicer]

Braxton wasn’t sure if Drew wanted an answer after every question that was asked so he just nodded slightly, but refused all the same to make eye contact with the older Raven. Preferring to look at a spot on the current piece of armor he was trying to clean. He didn’t see why Trixi could get away with everything, and he was the one that always got told about it, but that’s just how it was apparently. He would just have to get over it and try to remember to walk it over to her next time. He was pretty sure if there was a next time he wouldn’t be placing it in her hand, but never the less, he wouldn’t be throwing it either. So at least Drew would be halfway happy right? "Yeah," he mumbled still not looking at him, but at the spot that was being scrubbed for about the tenth time, even though it was clean ages ago.

[Celina Jedynak]

So, at this point with Drew snickering, which from her point of view was at her, and Brax being just a little git at the moment, Celina was highly annoyed. She never thought she could be so annoyed with Ravens, but then again she had never thought she'd be in detentions as much as she had been this fall. It was getting a bit routinely for the ravengirl's taste.

Looking back over at the smaller Slytherin who had just joined her, she smiled though watching her put the sponges in the bucket and ask about what Celina was asking her to do. Celina didn't know Trixie from anything but tad rumors here and there. So, in essence there was no reason to have any sort of bad feelings towards the girl. At the moment, all those feelings were being directed at the boys.

"Well, I heard some giggling of sorts coming from the suit..." Celina said calmly as she gestured toward the suit of armor. "You're smaller than I, and I was thinking probably a tad more adventurous. Would you help me find where it is coming from while I continue to clean this suit?" Celina shot a glare at Brax to let him know that she did intend to just clean the suit, and then another glare at Drew just because before looking back at Trixie and smiling once more.

[Felicity Hjort]

So, it wasn't the Eagle laughing, then what was it that was? Felicity certainly hoped along the same lines of Celina, that it wasn't Peeves, she didn't much like the little man, he was more annoying than was neccessary. On the other hand, she called the much younger blonde over, so Felicity turned back to the suit or armour in front of her, attention focused on getting a spot out.

Until she heard the comment given from the little boy, which made her turn to glare. It wasn't funny, it wasn't cute, it was plain and outright rude. And it wasn't as though he were going to be getting out of going for the same area to clean anyway. And it didn't make her happy to hear that Drew was snorting rather than telling him off. If he wasn't willing to defend who claimed to be a friend, would he have done the same thing if the comment was directed at her? Most likely it would seem, and that'd just give her even more reason to be angry with him at that time of night.

Instead of getting involved, she turned around and began a more furious scrubbing, new found strength coming to her to get done as quickly as possible and get some sleep before she started snapping when she really wasn't mad, just over tired. The brown-eyed girl heard the bit of commotion behind her, but she remained inattuned to whatever it was that was happening. If there was something between the two younger students, why should they get in the middle of it if Atwood was going to take care of things when he returned? And besides that, it sounded like Drew was either giving him a talk or was conspiring with the child.

She liked the idea of the former, but at that moment, she could also see the latter. Whichever it was, she wasn't going to pay attention to him. As she dropped her brush in the bucket, she scratched her arm, not sure why she had a sudden itch, but ignored it and started a fresh scrub on the armour chest, deciding she didn't like the feel of the cold, hard metal under her hand.

[Trixi Turner]

Trixi pulled a funny face at the older girl as she said there was a giggeling coming from the suit of armour. "Aren't they just magical like that?" she questioned curiously. Afterall, if the suit of armour could move Trixi didn't see why it couldn't giggle or talk. She didn't really know much about the magical world o it all made sence in her mind.

Celina probably was right on the idea of Trixi being more adventurous then herself though. Trixi kind of liked the idea of trying to hop into the suit of armour, even though the thing was basically twice her height. She would never be able to reach the head on one of them if she needed to clean it. Which she actually had absolutely no plans in doing. Braxton could continue cleaning the stupid things. It was his fault they were there anyway. Had it not been for him and giving up on their story, which she was sure had been going so well, they wouldn't have been in detention. However no matter how strange the girls words were at that moment, Trixi wasn't about to act up to her. Judging from her glares the girl seemed to be quite annoyed at Braxton and the big boy who was helping him. That could work to her advantage. Least as long as she was friendly enough to the girl, and visa versa. If the girl turned to their side it was likely Trixi would kick her in the shins and be done with it.

Trixi didn't mind the idea of looking where the giggeling was coming from though. Afterall, it was getting her out of the cleaning factor of things. "How d'ya suppose I do that?" Trixi asked the girl curiously, looking up at her and the suit of armour. Trixi frowned slightly. "I don't think I'm big enough to see inside his mask" she said looking up at the suit of armour's helmet. Perhaps there was something she could stand on in one of the corners or something, just anything that would make her a little taller. Trixi for the moment, wasn't going to launch another sponge. Not just yet...

[Celina Jedynak]

Celina shrugged at the young girl. "I'm not sure. I know they move, but I was almost positive that no sound was usually made from them." Celina wasn't quite sure how effective the bewitching on the suits were, but she was certain that it only came to them moving and not actually talking. No, there was something definitely going on with the suit she was cleaning. Didn't that figure. "You could try looking around it, and if you don't find anything, I'm sure the suit wouldn't mind bending over for us to get a look inside."

Celina started on the arm of her suit. It was coming out a lot shinier than she would have expected it to without magic. She smiled at her work, catching her reflection just slightly. Maybe she didn't look that bad after all, though the reflection was distorted.

[Trixi Turner]

Exploring around the suit of armour? Perfect. Trixi would prefer to explore this room rather then have to clean big chunks of metal. Trixi didn't see why the house elves didn't do it. Wasn't it their job to clean and cook? "Alright sounds good" Trixi said to Celina with a grin. She'd look around the suit of armour to find out if there was anything suspiscious about it. Trixi noticed Celina seemed distracted cleaning the suit of armour. Now seemed like a good as time as any to try and get some added revenge on Braxton. While Celina was cleaning the suit of armour, Trixi stooped down low for a moment, retrieving one of the many sponges from the bucket of water and lobbed it at Braxton. Trixi held off her smirk and didn't even watch to see if her sponge hit its target, she instead turned and walked quickly behind the suit of armour. Not only was she now hidden so a sponge couldn't hit her. She was also doing what Celina had asked. Trixi knocked on the back of the suit of armour's knee's to see what sound it made. Her knuckles made a slight clang as they banged against the cold metal. Trixi remained behind the suit or armour, looking at the back of it. To her, it looked like a suit of armour. However the girl didn't know what they were supposed to look likke, so it was unlikely she would notice much of a difference either.
