{then I'd better post here too, hm? Seeing as Prof. Thorne says she's not dead yet...}
Becca stood in front of the school, making sure she got a fairly decent account of who was going to Hogsmeade that day. The hightened sense of security was not lost on the woman and she wanted to make sure every student would be accounted for before heading to the village herself.

"Beautiful day out, isn't it?" Ryder stepped up behind Becca, his eyes scanning the grounds and the students around. He was sure they would all enjoy their day in town. As would he. The castle had been been feeling a bit too small and he definately needed to stretch his legs. What a perfect way to do so on a trip into Hogsmead.

Rael finally spotted the Ravenclaw and noticed he looked a bit occupied. She smiled as she walked around a large group of students to avoid his gaze. Quietly she walked up behind him, without making a noise, and just stood behind him. She figured he would eventually turn around and see her standing there. She toyed with the idea of just scaring him, but decided against that as she seemed to have a flair of making him jump without trying, anyway.

Charon scanned the crown one more time. They hadn't exactly set a time to meet, so it wasn't as if she was late. She was just later than him, that's all. He decided to go and see if she was perhaps in the castle. When he turned, though, he found himself face to face with the one he sought.
Jumping slightly, he stepped back a bit. "Rael! You surprised me. Greatly." Getting over the shock, he moved next to her and took her hand. "Well, shall we head into town?"

"Hello there," she replied as a grin took over her face. Rael nodded her head at his question, then decided to voice what she was thinking. "Yes, but could we walk rather than take the carriages, as it is absolutely, positively the best weather we have had in a while?" Her eyes begged him to say yes, and she lightly bit her lip in anticipation of his answer.

"I don't see why not, I enjoy walking every now and then," Charon replied. Smiling at Rael, he reflected that she was correct. This was indeed the nicest weather he'd seen in a very long while. And the thought that it would continue getting nicer bouyed his spirits. Especially when he remembered that he and Rael were going to spend a night stargazing once it got warmer.
He started heading in the direction of the village, and looked forwards to the day he would spend with Rael.

It occured to Kellen that he didn't know what he was going to do all day. After he got his potions ingredients, and stopped by the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer, he really didn't have anything planned. Hogsmeade had lost a bit of its charm for him--sure, it was great the first couple of years he was able to go, but now there was a kind of been-there, done-that sense about it all.
Still, he was sure he'd find something to do. He wished he'd brought a book. Maybe he could find a good one to read for a while.

"Yes, a lovely day," Becca answered serenely, a small smile on her face. Being around Ryder made her nervous, but no longer angry. Perhaps this would be a good day to reaquaint herself with him. "Big plans for the day?" she asked him.

"Just a walk about town," Ryder replied with a small shrug. He had a few things he needed to do, but nothing too major. "Send a letter to my nephew and meet up with an old friend and see about buying some new school brooms."
Ryder wished he could ask Becca to join him, but thought it best if he didn't. Getting yelled at or even slapped in front of such a large crowd would probably not be a good way to start the day off.

{ooo! I think I like the slapping option! } "Sounds pleasant," Becca agreed. "I was planning on sending a feed order off and then hole up in the Three Broomsticks. I figure most of the students will end up there eventually and I can keep tabs while having a butterbeer." Sure, he didn't ask, but she was trying to be cordial.

{I'm surprised you haven't done so already } "I'm betting it's a rather large order," Ryder commented with a small chuckle. With as many animals as the woman cared for, he couldn't imagine it being anything less than a few dozen bags of a variety of foods. "Perhaps I might see you at the Three Broomsticks later on today," he spoke offhandedly as though it didn't matter much either way. Secretly, though, he hoped she might leave a seat open for him.

((Everyone still at the school? Pushing this forward folks, we'll still give you all about a day or two more of role playing, so don't worry. This thread won't be rushed.))
After another fifteen minutes or so of waiting and gathering everyone was shuffled aboard the "horse-less" carriages, probably to the great dismay of many students. Any students left behind would not be allowed to follow the carriages, just one of the many signs of buffed-up security. They had been given a specific time, and Hogwarts was more than known for its stickler promptness.
However, the trip was much quicker, carriages jostling lightly as their unseen pullers picked up to a trot, a canter would have been more comfortable, but might have also made on to many sick to their stomaches.
Five minutes later, the carriages had arrived on the other side of the Great Lake, slightly beyond the Forbidden Forest, and opened on their own will, revealing the entrance and cobblestone streets of the waiting Hogsmeade Village. No doubt most pockets would be returning considerably lighter and arms considerably heavier.

Jade got into a horseless carriage, since she wasn't quite sure where Hogsmeade was. She waited for the carriages to move and half-hoped someone would join her in one. She wanted company today. Plus, then maybe that person could show her around a bit.

Krissy climbed out of the horseless carrige stepping into Hogsmead. She was looknig foreward to this day as she really did need to restock on fireworks and some extra practical joke stuff, there was a large task ahead of her and she was readying herself to do it, not that she would let anyone know what that was of course. Krissy took off down the street of Hogsmead heading to her favourite shop.
