At last, a weekend. A day without classes. In all truth, Kyle felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of classes they had to attend. Sure it was only 6, or was it 7, subjects, but he felt stretched out. He supposed the running around this huge castle to attend classes at the different locations was a big part of it too.
Anyways, he was just happy that he finally could forget all about those. He would worry about the homeworks later on. But for now, he only wanted to chill in the very blue common room.
(Open, everyone and anyone is welcomed!)

Jack entered the common room releaved that it was the weekend and that there wasn't anymore classes for at least two days. He quickly ran him bag up to his dormitory intending to do his homework later. When he came back down he noticed that there was one of the new first years. He walked over to him and said, "Hi I'm Jack." He then took on of the more comfortable chairs in the common room and said, "How was your first week at Hogwarts?"

"Absolutely exhausting," he admitted and sat up a bit straighter. He didn't quite feel inferior or embarrassed being the first years and speaking to upper years. They had all been first years once. Which explained why he didn't shy away timidly.
"All those classes and professors and this place is HUGE. I don't people here have to worry about lack of excercises, that's for sure," he continued, before remembering he forgot to introduce himself. "I am Kyle, by the way."

"Ya the castle is huge and has tons of places that you can get lost in, but you get the hang of it after awhile and it starts to come naturally to you." Jack said with a laugh about Kyle's comment about exercise. He thought about how he had felt lost and exhausted to when he was new to the castle, a smile came across his face because then getting lost was a good excuse to use when he was late to classes, but now no teacher would buy it because he had been there for so long. "I'd like to say that the classes get easier, but they don't really. I can say though that they get funner." he continued still smiling.

Kyle couldn't decide if getting the hang of how things worked here after a while was a good thing or not. Getting used to doing all that hard work couldn't possibly be a good thing.
"Is it funnier ha-ha or funnier weird?" he asked. Professors came and went quite frequently, so maybe they used to have a funny & easy-going professor before? Because from what he had seen, none of the professor looked fun to him at all.

Drew thumped his way down the stairs, trailing a rather large duffle bag behind him. The first person he saw was Kyle and he gave the small boy his traditional greeting for the first yeaars. "Littledude! How's it going?" he asked, not sure if the kid even remembered who he was. It was then he caught sight of Jack and he nodded his head in a greeting to the other boy. "... and not so Littledude..."

"Well you get a bit of both depending on who is teaching a class at the time, but I can't say I would rather go anywhere else." Jack said with a smile trying to get the first year not to worry so much. He then was distracted when he heard Drew thumping his way down the stairs. He turned around to see he was carring a duffle bag and couldn't help but laugh when he called him a not so littledude. "Hi Drew, What's the duffle bag for? If you don't mind me asking." he said still laughing slightly.

First kiddo, now littledude. Kyle grumbled at those names. Sure he was rather short, but one day, he's going to be taller than any one of them.
Then again, this person was mighty tall.
"The name is Kyle, and are you going camping somewhere?" he asked with great interest. He had yet explored much of the grounds yet, and would definitely love to go outside.

"Littledude has a name. Don't forget that," Drew told Jack as if it were the fourth year's responsibility to remember such things.
"Not camping, just doing some inventory," Drew told them. "Someone left his stanky socks on the floor so I thought I'd do it here." No need to mention that they were his socks.

"Right." Jack said with a laugh to Drew. "Note to self Kyle like to go by littledude and not Kyle. I'll try and remenber that, but it might slip my mind." He knew that he had switched the names but he was just messing around with the first year and Drew for that matter. Still laughing he asked, "It's might nice of you to do someone elses inventory for them, unless by someone you mean you." He knew that Drew had purposly lefted out him being the owner of the socks.

"Good man," Drew answered Jack before pulling things out of his duffle bag. He had been fortunate enough to get back many of the things that his parents had confiscated after his third year.
"Someone else's? Heck no. This is all mine," he announced as he set a grappeling hook and a bowling ball on the ground next to him.

Jack watched as Drew pulled a grappeling hook and a bowling ball out of the bag. He wondered why he could possibly need those things, certainly not for any class. His curiosity getting the better of him he asked, "What could you possible need a grappeling hook and a bowling ball for, unless your planning to scale a building and then go bowling." He knew perfectly well that this wasn't the case but thats the only thing that came to his mind when he thought of a grappeling hook and a bowling ball.
OOC: Miss read that post sorry it's getting late. I thought you said you had a bag of stanky socks. lol

{Stanky socks are on the floor of the dorm. Everything else is in the bag } Drew gave Jack a blank look. The guy sounded like he was joking, but in all honesty, what else would you do with a grappeling hook and a bowling ball? "Well... probably not on the same day," he said, this time pulling out a hockey stick, a bicycle wheel, and a very large pulley contraption.

Jack watched as Drew took more and more things out of his bag. He wasn't still quite sure why Drew had thought to bring these things to the castle and really didn't think he used them at the same time. He was joking when he made the grappeling hook and bowling ball joke, but thought that Drew might have taken him seriously because he had given him a blank stare. Letting it go he watched as a very large contraption ws pulled from the bag. "So what's that and what do you use it for?" he asked eyeing the large pulley contraption.

{I think you need a little estrogen in here } Allegra jumped the last few steps from the girl's dorm, her arms laden with school books. She had been hoping to do some studying, but found the boys in the common room, apparently interested in something her brother had. Never a good sign, she wandered over to see what it was and dropped her things out of shock. "ANDREW THORNTON! I'm so telling Mom and Dad. You were supposed to leave all of that stuff at home and you know it," she scolded him. she didn't normally tattle on her brother but last time he had used some of those things, he had almost gotten himself expelled.
