Mike, made his way quickly through the First floor, skating backwards, he had to dodge quickly as Peeves chased him. Suddenly Peeves swooped at him and he quickly manovered out of the way so he was now facing forwards, he really shouldn't of insulted Peeves today.
Suddenly something made Mike look up and he saw the perfect chance to lose Peeves, he faked a turn to his left and then took a right, right towards the railing next to the main set of stairs up to the first floor.
"Oh ****!!"
He yelled as he jumped over the railing his roller blades leaving the ground and cleared the railing easily
"WOOHOOO!!"
He let out a triumphant cry as he fell back down to the marble floor below, if he didn't stick this landing, he would be landing something....a one way ticket to the hospital wing.
The ground was fast approaching but it seemed like it was going in slow motion to Mike, he positioned himself in such a way that if his landing wasn't flawless, at least he wouldn't injure himself too much.
But he had nothing to worry about as he landed he crouched down with one of his legs trailing behind him to slow himself down, which ended up making him more like a figure skater and spun in a few circles.....very flashy.

( fun )
The word ' Twinkletoes ' came to mind as Jake saw the figure skating ( ha ), he had seen the jump and been mildly impressed by it. He also seen the landing, and the few circles that seemed to follow it. Jake rounded the last corner coming down to the Entrance Hall. Jake had been on his way outside, but this seemed interesting enough to hold his attention.
" Nice trick ya got there. " He told the guy with a nod of his head even though he was still moving and Jake was standing still at the end of the railing. Just then he heard the yell of Peeves and looked up to see nothing but air. Jake smiled and said, " I think ye got rid of him. " He had been warned by a few people about Peeves, mostly just sayin how annoying he was to have around but it was tradition.

"Show-off," Lily muttered. She was in quite a fowl mood today. She had her notebook and she had been heading outside to do some writing which would hopefully put her in a better mood. Running into Mike, who appeared to be showing off, didn't make her day any better. "Drew can skate better," she muttered under her breath. Alright, she didn't know this for a fact, but Drew was a Ravenclaw and so therefore, he should be better than a Hufflepuff and all the other houses. Oh, watch out. Lily had a tongue as sharp as a sword today.

Mike smiled at Jake, the newest addition to their Hufflepuff family
"Yeah, thank god....just a heads up but don't insult him today, he seems a bit cranky"
Just at that moment he rolled past Lily and heard her comment, and he rolled his eyes, what was up with her....wait that was just usual Lily
"Just like someone else I know"
He said with a wink towards Jake, as he skated backwards around the entrance hall, his movements fluid and flowing. Suddenly he came to a stop and skated back over towards Jake.
"So how ya liking it so far?"
Mike asked him
(If you want me to change it then let me know....)

Lily rolled her eyes. "Don't you have anything better to do?" She asked. "You're skating, inside, for one and for two, it would have been much better if Peeves got you." She looked over at the other boy. She didn't recognize him nor did she introduce herself. If he wanted to know her name he would ask. Hufflepuffs were going to cause the world to end one day.

" I'll keep tha' in mind. " He told the other Hufflepuff with a laugh. He didn't really feel liking crossing anyone that day, so he was wondering what was wrong with the girl... He didn't know who she was, but she seemed to not like him from the start. Or maybe it was just the fact that he was another person to deal with? Jake didn't venture a guess. Mike then skated back over to him and he said, " It's ok, hasn't been too interesting, yet. I've met a few people. " He nodded slightly then looked back over to where Lily was standing. " What's up with her, mate? " He asked in a lowered voice in hopes that the girl wouldn't hear him at all.

(Housist much  ) Mike laughed at her, she took life way too seriously "Lighten up a bit Lily, enjoy your life...maybe even try and become friends with people outside of your own house" He said poking fun at the girl whom only seemed to have friends in her own house, at that stage he heard what Jake had said and turned back to him "She just takes things too seriously and she's like Ravenclaw's biggest supporter, man she thinks they are so great just cause they got all the silverwear last year, but this year ha, this year will be different...its gonna be all us" (BURN!!) |

Jake looked over to her, Lily was her name? as Mike seemed to be poking fun at her. She didn't look to be in the mood for such things but Jake only shrugged. He nodded when Mike turned back to him and explained about Lily. It took a few secinds for him toe register what ' silver wear ' meant but he understood. One of his guides had explained about the House Cup and Quidditch Cup. He wasn't too interested in Quidditch, but winning both of them would be cool.
" This should be an interesting year, then, huh? " He said more conversationally then anything. He did think it would be interesting, being his first year at Hogwarts and all.

((You only know it's true))
"Hey!" Lily snapped. "I am friends with people outside my house. How dare you accuse me of that?" She hated dated Nic and she was close friends with Krissy and they counted for something. "Ravenclaw is always going to be better. You guys can't play quidditch for beans. For beans do you hear me." There was an upocoming match and Lily was going to make sure they won at (mostly) all costs. She wasn't going to lower herself to Slytherins level, but she was going to play aggresive.

"For beans eh....well maybe thats what you Ravenclaws play for"
He said, turning her own insult against her, a grin on his face.
"And there I was half expecting that you would play for seed"
Mike's grin turned to a smirk as he watched her, he knew he would need to watch out for her on the Quidditch Pitch....and she knew that he wouldn't be making it nice and cosy for her.
"Course it will be....a changing of the guard will happen Lily, you just wait and see"
And then to add insult to injury, he winked at her, slyly

Jake, being muggle born, was never interested too much in Quidditch. Sure, it was interesting to watch, but playing was not so much his thing. He preferred other sports, even though most of them aren't wizard related at all. So during this talk of Quidditch he determined that Mike was a sixth year, he remembered reading it, somewhere... He guessed Lily to be the same. So the two were a year older than him, not too much of an age difference, he thought with a shrug of his shoulders. As the two exchanged words Jake zoned back in and looked from one to the other as they were talking about something about the guard. He hadn't a clue.
(( I'm out. Peace. ;D ))

"Hmmph," Lily said. "You're just jealous. We'll see what it comes down to this weekend. Besides, you never know, someone might just tragically get injured." She smirked at him. Not to say she would take someone out on purpose, but if it looked accidental. She looked at Jake. "Who are you? Besides being huffle blood. I won't hold it against you if you prove yourself worthy of knowing unlike some people present here." Oooh. Lily might want to watch her tongue.

Jake sense some dissage going on and he didn't know whether or not to be offended so he simply decided to take no offense for the slander against Hufflepuff House. He didn't exactly like he belonged there, or anywhere, yet so it didn't make much of a difference to him either way. When Lily actually acknowledged his presence again and spoke to him he turned to her. Ignoring the snide comment about Mike with a slight smile at her, he answered. " Jake Riley, nice ta meet you. " With a slight nod to her.
