Cameron peeked into the armour gallery. It had been a while since her last little visit. She watched the suits of armour. They were wispering quietly. Cam stepped into the gallery, and they all fell silent. Smirking, she started to walk past them. "Ah...we meet again, my lovelys.."Cameron said to them. One squeaked in reply. She looked around. Nothing changed. She knew where all her little sitting spots were. Her favourite one was inbetween two of the suits of armour at the end.
Walking over to it, she found everything the same. Looking closely, she spotted something shiny. Cameron grinned. Her lucky coin was still there. She sat down inbetween the two suits of armour. Oh how she was happy to be back again. Cam picked up the coin and played with it. She kept it there, just to see if anyone would pick it up; nobody did. Cam scooted to the back so she was hidden. One of the suits of armour looked down at her.
"Yes, Im back at last. Not for you all to torment me either."Cameron looked at it. Its squeak sounded like a bitter laugh. She had to laugh at that. She missed them alot.

Derek decided that it was about time that he visited Hogwarts Armour Gallery he knew the one from his former school from nook to cranny but he hadn't visited his new school's yet. He always found it somewhat interesting to see the past accomplishes of those that had already attended a school before and to find that lots of them weren't so different from you or even the next person. He was slightly surprised to find that it was in fact empty upon entering it. But then again his former schools' hadn't been the hang out spot either.
The Armour Gallery was usually were new students went to check it out and then never bothered to look at the place a second time. He wasn't sure he'd become a frequent visitor but he was curious which at the moment lumped him with the group he'd just mentioned. Time would tell if that would hold true for him. Crossing to the armour's he looked them over they seemed in relatively good condition and he noted that as he looked at them they seemed to peer straight back at him the faint noise of squeaks the only noise.
Or in fact it had been until he'd thought he'd heard a noise somewhere near the back but he wasn't quite sure. Derek began to look around a curious expression on his face, "Hmm... Is someone there?" he asked figuring that if he stuck to his current route he'd be looking for days it was much faster just to ask.

Cameron looked at the other suit of armour on the other side of the wall. It seemed to be staring back, but she didn't have a clue. Cam shrugged. She pulled out her wand. "Accio...chips.."She muttered. Chips came flying into her hand. Opening them quietly, she began to eat. She had the munchies. The squeak of the suits of armour didn't affect her. Tucking her black hair behind her ears, she brought her knees to her chest, and leaned against the wall.
Hearing somebody speak only a few minutes later, she jumped. Peering around the suits of armour she looked. Suprised that someone was even in here. Hardly anyone came in here except Cam. "Yep. Im here."She replied. Cam was curious as to who the boy was. She was still sitting on her knees peering around inbetween the suits of armour.

Derek had almost jumped when someone had answered him. he hadn't really been expecting someone to be in there. But when he'd located where the reply had come from all he could see was a girl's head he was just glad he hadn't in fact jumped from startlement. His eyebrows rose slightly at the sight of her curious to know what she could possibly be doing back there where she was. He couldn't really tell much from just her head so he decided to walk over to her.
"Hey..." he said with the barest of smiles, puzzlement obvious on his face as he reached her. It seemed from the looks of things that she'd found a little hiding spot back there where she'd been when he'd walked in. It was a good on to boost since it wasn't a likely place to look. Feeling somewhat odd just standing their when the girl was still on her knee's he squated in front of her, "Hiding?" he inquired with one of his small smiles.

Cameron blinked a couple of times, watching him as he walked over. "Hello."Cameron replied. A hint of a smile played at her lips. Someone was actually in here...what a shock...but Cam didn't know this person, obviously. She stuck the coin back into its hiding spot. Looking up at him, shrugged. "I dunno if you would call this hiding, but this is my spot that I have taken a liking to than most of my spots in this room."She smiled.
Sitting back on her knees, she took a good look at him. The suits of armour squeaked. "More people to torment, yes?"She asked one of the suits of armour. Looking at the boy, she sorta smiled. "I would watch your backside...they get a kick out of it when one kicks you..." She laughed softly. "What brings you to the Armour Gallery?"

"I suppose that makes sense," he replied with a small smile, "Either way its a good spot to hide if you do want to be left alone so I'd have to compliement you on finding it." The girl seemed interesting enough in only the brief time he'd spoken to her so far and was slightly curious to know just how old she was. He couldn't be sure but she did look somewhere around his age.
A low laugh escaped his lips as the girl addressed the suits of armour around them. "Well in that case..." taking her word for it he decided not to squat any more but in fact just sit in front of her. "I was just curious mainly. I used to like visiting the one at my old school. I don't know I just find it interesting," Derek replied with a slight shrug to her question, "What about you if your not hiding what are you doing in here?"

Cameron smiled. "Yes...I know...It is one of my favorite spots...extremely good hiding spot if these buggers don't squeak and give away your hiding spot if you don't want to be found."She replied. She glanced around at all the suits of armour. She basically had them all named. Squeaky, Silent, Giggles, Shiny,and Tinkles are my favorite ones. She thought silently. Cameron smiled at the thought.
She watched him sit in front of her. Cameron had her legs crossed. "Ah...that's interesting...where did you used to go, before you came here?"She asked curiously. Cam liked to know where new people came from. She found it interesting. "Well...Usually, Im sitting, and thinking. But, if Im in a dancing mood, I'll get up and sing and dance around here...and make the little suits of armor dance, but they'll kick you when you're not looking." She smiled.

Derek looked around at the suits of armour as his fellow gryffindor brought them up. "Meaning its not exactly the greatest hiding place," he said with slight amusement. The place at first glance did appear as though it'd be an excellent spot but from what she'd told him he could figure out for himself that if you were to hide in the armour gallery you'd be completely at the mercy of the suits. Derek couldn't honestly say he liked those odds.
"I used to attend the wizarding academy in Canada where I used to leave until recently. Have you always been here?" Derek asked curious to know about her, if she'd always been attending Hogwarts like a few of the other students he'd already met. He couldn't help the grin that came to his face at her words, "You like to dance in here. Well... I suppose it would be an excellent spot... when they don't kick you. Well i'm thankful for the warning about them. I don't think i'd want to get a kick from one of them."
Only then did he realize that they'd been speaking for a while and still had yet to introduce themselves to each other. He couldn't help being slightly amused by the fact considering it was usually the first thing he tried to get out of the way when meeting someone but then again this hadn't exactly been in the ordinary sense. "I'm Derek," he said with a smile still somewhat amused by the fact.

"Ah.. but if they're in a very good mood, then it's okay. Otherwise they won't make any noise and let you hide."Cameron smiled. She tucked her hair behind her ears, looking at the boy. "ohh...that's cool...Nope. Im originally from the states, but my mom, my sister, and me moved here when I was in my second year I think." Cameron smiled, and laughed softly. "Yes, I do. Haha if they're in a mischieveous mood, then they'll kick you, but they're mostly in that mood every single day."
She was extremely fascinated by this boy. "And Im Cameron. Pleasure to meet you Derek." She smiled.

"The states. That's pretty cool too even though I've lived in Canada just a border over I've never visited the states before but I've heard its really nice there. My families from Scotland but shortly after I was born we moved to Canada and then just recently moved back to Scotland," Derek said with a smile somewhat surprised that he'd said so much in a rather short amount of time. Derek wasn't one to carry on long drawn out conversations but their was nothing wrong with change every once in a while. He couldn't help but note that the girl had just contradicted her earlier statement that sometimes the suits were in a very good mood and didn't misbehave by her latter comment that they were mischievous every single day.
Derek smiled at the fact but decided not to correct her or anything, "Since their in that mood every day I think I'll be avoiding the rascals. A kick from another person is bad enough but from a suit... Ouch. I have a feeling I don't want to experience that any time soon," he said with a slight laugh. But that didn't stop that exact image from formulating in his mind he could almost perfectly imagine it which only caused the smile on his face to remain. "No its a pleasure to meet you Cameron," he replied equally intrigued by the girl that sat across from him.
"Has anyone ever walked in on you when you were dancing?" Derek asked with equal measures of amusement and interest. He couldn't say he'd ever been caught doing anything of the sort but then again he didn't exactly think he was the best at dancing. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of sight that would have been to walk in on. He wasn't sure how he would have reacted he'd probably either turn on his heel and go in the other direction or enter the the room.

"I've never been to Canada...is it pretty there?'Cameron asked with a bit of fascination. She smiled. He moved more than she did, but Cam didn't like moving..Moving to the United Kingdom was enough for her and she couldn't bare to move again. Cameron laughed. "Well...I'd say you're okay for right now, but you never know about them. I've been kicked a couple of times. It hurts extremely bad." She smiled.
"Well...none that I see. This place is pretty deserted. I imagine people just peer in, and just keep walking. I dunno." Cam replied. She never really noticed if people came in or not. Only if they said something. She was usually off at the far end of the gallery dancing so she wouldn't be seen...Most of the time.

"I love it there. I'm sort of bummed out about not being their any more but I figured I should try to get to know my native land better. My brother decided to stay in Canada since its his last year but my sister's at home," Derek replied with a soft smile as he thought back to Canada he really did miss the place that had been the only home he'd known all his life. In reality this really was the first big move he'd ever had well at least the only one he could remember he'd been to young to remember the actual first move. "You really should go see Canada sometime," he added.
"I'd imagine so their not exactly the softest things the world and that must have left some pretty mean bruises at the time," Derek replied thinking on it and he couldn't help but wonder if he'd have trouble sitting depending on how hard they kicked him on the butt. He couldn't help but notice that despite her words she really didn't have any hard feelings toward them, "I take it it really doesn't bother you that much from that smile on your face. No grudges?" he smiled.
"So am I one of the first people to actually find you out in your sanctuary?" he asked since he'd come to find that in a sense the place really was on of her favorite places to be out of the castle.

Cameron smiled. "I've heard that it's really pretty...."Cameron replied. She tried to picture what it looked like. Well, from what she saw in pictures. Cameron did see pictures of the waterfall that was there. She couldn't think of what it was called. "What's that waterfall thats in Canada?" She became curious. "Yes, I know...I really should...I'd have to ask my mum about it for next summer..." Cameron bit her lip. That would be a really good idea.... Cam thought.
Cameron shook her head. "It hurts...quite alot...bloody hell...they'll leave deep, dark purple bruises on your bum... Yes, they're quite bad.." Cameron found this boy quite interesting. He was extremely nice. She shook her head. "Nahh. I don't..They're quite entertaining, and you forget all about them kicking you. It's funny when they dance.."Camerong laughed softly. She heard a squeak, and looked for the noise. She smirked. "They don't want to be forgotten either."
She smiled. "Ehh yes, the first one who has actually ventured upon this place, and actually came into look, and found me."Cam laughed.

Derek knew exactly what waterfall Cameron was referring to after all it was one of the main tourist spots most people just went to Canada just to see. Niagara Falls truly was a breath taking sight to take in. "Niagara Falls," he replied with a bright smile one of the first that had come to his face that day. It wasn't often he'd run into someone since coming to Hogwarts that actually seemed interested enough to ask about his old home. "Hopefully you manage to convince her. I think I might be going back their myself next summer since my brother will be graduating," he replied with a slight smile.
He couldn't help laughing slightly, "Well you do make it sound so much better," he replied only slightly teasing her since her words had had quite the contrary effect. "Hmm... maybe I'll get to see them dance some time I just hope I wont have to do some of the dancing either. I'm well... I'm not exactly great at it to be honest I haven't danced that much," Derek smiled. "Well I suppose we can't very well forget them and it is a rather lonely existence being forgotten that is I suppose they need some company as well sometimes even though they tend to bruise said company."
"Well isn't that just my luck to be the first person to actually find you out here," he replied mirroring her laugh with one of his own. "Though I do have to say I'm slightly surprised no one's found you out before."

Cameron smiled. "Definitely. So Canada is more interesting than Oklahoma. It's quite boring there. When I mean quite, I mean extremely boring. It's just icky! I was extremely happy when we moved."Cameron replied. She pictured Oklahoma. Dusty, flat, prairies...Extremely hot and the cute little prairy dogs. Okay, the animals and her friends were one of the only good things there. Other than that, it completely sucked. She missed her friends alot.
She laughed. "I know...They're entertaining when they dance, but it's such a rare occasion."She smirked. "Dancing is always the best. It lets me keep my mind off of things, and it's fun to do." Cam tried to picture him dancing. She laughed softly. She nodded. "They listen too. When you're sad or something, and you don't want anyone to know what you're talking about, it's nice to just sit there and talk to him. Just don't say any good secrets. They tend to pass that around."Cameron laughed.
Cameron nodded. "Oh yes..Not many people come in here, so it's great. And sometimes I like it when noone finds me, other times it's really boring and I need someone to talk to."She smiled.
