"The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry,” Allegra recited more to herself than as an answer. She seemed more interested in the bicycle pedals she had found, wondering if Drew could rig her up a pottery wheel with it. When she finally came back to the conversation she smiled at Jack. "Robert Burns was an 18th century Scottish poet. That line is where John Stienbeck got the title of his book."

"Baloney," Drew answered, pulling a pith helmet and a fire extinguisher out of his duffle bag. "If the plan was so well thought out, it wouldn't have gone awry. You would have planned for any awryness and it would have been averted. And who the heck heard of a mouse making plans anyway? Plans for what? Cheese?"

As more items were pulled out from the bag, Kyle steadily got more confused, yet amazed. He had one teeny incident with a fire extinguisher once, which landed him a month-long of endless chores.
"Anyways," he looked around the people there. "What is Hogwarts really like? Any wisdom to pass on to the firsties?"

"Big... damp... old... magical... Hogwarts is a lot of things," Drew answered vaguely as a roll of duct tape and a variety of locks and keys were pulled from the bag. "You're going to have to be a lot more specific.

"I have heard a lot of crazy stories from my brothers about this place, but I also know they made those up. So how about the most unbelieveable thing you have done here so far?" Kyle said. He honestly didn't know why he said that. He only wanted to have a better idea about this place.

"If I told you, you wouldn't believe it now, would you?" Drew answered with a straight face. The truth of course, was that some of the most fantastic things he had done were things he had never laid claim to. Like sticking everyone's shoe on the ceiling of the Great Hall. That had been an amazing stunt and only two people knew for sure that he had had a hand in it.

Kyle wanted to point out that he needed not worry about whether he would believe him or not, because hearing crazy stories wasn't exactly new to him. He glanced over at the girl wearing the Head Girl badge, and gave a knowing smile.
"Alright, we can talk about that some other time," he snickered. "So, how about Raynor? She looks exactly the type you complete don't want to mess with."

"You don't," Allegra answered sitting back in a chair and peering through a kalidoscope she had dug out of her brother's duffle. "Most of the teachers are like that... but most of them are really fair too, Raynor included. She won't favor us, but she'll stick up for us when it comes down to it."
Raynor was the main reason Drew hadn't gotten expelled two years ago even after the Potions master at the time had been pushing for it.

Jack listened as Allegra told him who Robert Burns was, but still wasn't quite sure how they had gotten on the subject about a Scottish poet and was glad when 'littledude' changed the subject and asked about Hogwarts. He found it quite funny that Drew had refused to answer Kyle's question stating that he wouldn't believe him anyways. Jack knew that he probably wasn't admitting to anything because he didn't want anyone to know it was him especially if no one was caught or someone else was suspected.
Jack listened to Allegra tell Kyle about Professor Raynor and how she wasn't a person that you would want to cross. He had gotten this impression, just as Kyle had, even though he hadn't ever met her.

The bit about how Raynor would defend them was still to be found out. He also didn't think he would get anything good details about the professors from them. So he changed the topic.
"So, I heard that Ravenclaw has been winning the House Cup for quite some time? And the Quidditch Cup too?" he asked. He really heard some other students talking about it. Mostly non-Ravenclaws, and how they were going to get the Cup for their own houses. He supposed he would find out for sure if he looked it up, or maybe if he went to the Trophy Room.
