Could it get any hotter? Geez. The sun was beating down so hard that she felt dead when she walked outside. It was so muggy, making Avery find it hard to breath. She hated when it was so humid. She loved to feel fresh, cold air go into her lungs, not hot, weird stuff that she just knew was smog. Breathing in pollution wasn't exactly her idea of fun. At least Hogwarts seemed to be a lot cleaner than what the smog was sometimes like in Italy. London was a terribly polluted place, however. The day was just too nice to waste, though.

That's why Avery was outside. She was wearing a Hello kitty matching bikini. The top was a halter and the bottoms were like little boy shorts. Sort of like underwear, y'know? Yet, she didn't want to walk around the school in a bikini, so she was wearing a lime green summer dress with white hearts all over it over top. Smiling, a pair of white rimmed sunglasses covering her eyes to protect them from the rays of sunlight, she walked down to the lake; the coolest place to hang out in the summer. Not just cool in the way that it was a popular place to go, but cool as in it was the most cold place to go. Unless you were going to go into the Dungeons.

Kicking off her white flats, she felt the hot sand between her feet. For a second, she waded around in the cool water. It was very nice and refreshing. She'd probably go swimming a little bit later. Skipping onto the shore, she plopped herself down in the dry sand, starting to bury her legs under the cool sand. Sure, it was hot on the surface, but under the sand it was so very cool. Leaning back on her hands, she gazed out at the many people swimming around the lake, jumping off Rickety Pier and into the water.

The school was such a nice place to be. She loved seeing that so many people here were so happy and everything. Including herself. Trio's Hogwarts was probably the best thing to ever happen to her. It was here that she met Jackson, her boyfriend for over a year. It was here that she met Jessica, Holden, Gerard, Levi, Carl... All the people she adored. Even though she missed her friends back home, she probably would never be able to leave her friends now. For some reason, she was just so close to them. It was fate that they'd all met. It was like they were all meant to be best friends.

Sighing happily, she hummed a bit to herself, then began to sing Dreamkiller by Love You Long Time. It was a very sweet song and she loved it to bits and pieces. "Downtown, uptown, we're the kids from all around. We're raised on Skid Row, under the city's sound. And we've got big dreams; they're tearing at the seams. So, hey, you, Dreamkiller, we're stronger than we seem."

Bren swore, that if one more time that blasted sun decided to show it's ugly little self through the Library win- Darn. There it comes again. Bren squinted at the sun ray shined in through the window pane, at the same time as he threw his book on the table; That is, before he realised what he had done. Exactly on time, the voice of the Librarian sounded through the Library. With words of 'Young man what have you just done that's a priceless tome!' and others such as 'If I catch you you're getting detention!', that did enough to scare Brendan out of the Library.

Stupid move on his part, definitely. Why had possessed him to do such a thing, to dare to even throw a book in the library? He should have known that the Librarian would be watching him, 24/7. Mercy if he could even escape. Running a hand through his hair, he adjusted his glasses, as he gathered his bearings. Somewhere outside - had he really been running so fast? Perhaps. After all, a librarian ready to kill would have got you running in no time.

He gazed around, now feeling thoroughly bored; He had been kicked out of the Library, a constant place where he always went. After all, a little extra reading never killed, and he did meet some bon-diggity people there. Frowning, as he squinted, he cast a glance at the sun. Darn, it was going to be a hot day. Pulling out the cap that he had tucked away previously in his backpocket, he slipped it on, and continued walking. Sticking his right hand into his bermuda pockets and pulling his white shirt down with his left hand, he fumbled a little, fidgeting.

Boredom. That is, till he saw a familiar hair color, on someone. His eyes lit in joy, as he found his problem instantly solved. After all, talking to someone is NEVER bad, right? Oh well. He grinned, as he walked towards the familiar head, and, once behind him, he patted it. Yes, not anything bad, but rather just patted it. 'Ello Captain Avery.' He said with a smile to the Mihael Quidditch captain.

Squishing her toes in the sand, she looked at them poking out from the sand where her legs were all buried in a heap. Wiggling them, she smiled, her toe-nail polish was rainbow; a different colour for each toe. Sighing to herself, she wondered what everyone was up to, then took her legs out from under the sand, watching how easily the sand particles rolled off her skin. Then, something distracted her from the sand. It was the feeling of a pat on the top of her head. Figuring it was Jackson or Holden or someone, she tilted her head backwards and saw none other than Brendan.

Smiling up at him, she said, "Hello, 'Bren Bren'." Snickering a little, as that was what Vivian had called him and she recalled him being a bit embarrassed, she looked at him. They'd never hung out before outside of Quidditch practice, where he'd become a Substitute for the team. She was glad, since he seemed like a really nice guy and they could use more players.

Patting the sand beside her, she said, "Why don't you take a seat. Cool down. Catch some rays." Smiling, she wondered why in the world she was talking that way; it wasn't like her. Oh well. Shrugging, she chuckled a little bit at herself and began doodling a little in the sand with her index finger. Random things, like happy faces and rainbows. Then, she turned to the boy and said, "So, whatcha up to? Come down to swim or something?"

[brendan]

[ I must apologise for the crappiness of the post. I fell sick this morning. ]

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

He smiled when Avery turned around. She seemed pretty cool, although he had only exchanged one or two words with her. And thrown a gezillion of peas at her during the food fight. But who's counting, yeh? He grinned as she called him Bren Bren. Gosh it was embarrassing, and why Viv had to say it in front of the whole Quidditch team was really... Well it made him look bad. Anyway, as she called him that, he grinned evilly, and said, 'Well, I'll have to kill you for using that name; Course, if you swear to keep it a secret until the end of the World, I'll let you live. Better yet, you can call me something else instead. Like Superhero Slaterman!' He said with a nod, before laughing. A word play on his last name, which he didn't really mind actually.

He nodded at her offer, and said 'Well don't mind if I do. The sun's killing me.' As soon as he finished, he plonked himself down rather ungracefully, leaving a small cloud of sand to rise from where he was sitting. Coughing slightly, he grinned cheekily at her. 'I'm so sorry about that!' He said with a small gasp, proceeding to dust whatever sand had gotten onto her face and funkily colored hair.

He shook his head at her saying that he had come down to swim. 'Not really. You could say that I'm out here... not by will.' He winced at the idea of the Librarian who looked ready to kill, and found himself once again thanking the heavens that he was alive.[/font][/color][/blockquote]

[Avery Moretti]

ooc; It's not bad. Get well soon! x

Snickering again to herself, she watched as he seemed a bit embarrassed by the nickname she'd called him. Yet, then she let out a fake gasp of horror, bringing a hand to her chest and saying in the most serious voice she could muster, "You would kill your loyal Quidditch Captain?" Then she let her act down and smiled, shaking her head a little. She wouldn't call him Bren Bren. Not unless she wanted to embarrass him in front of someone or if they were alone. Then she could call him Bren Bren just to annoy him. :] Ooo. She liked the nickname he said, so she said aloud, "Superhero Slaterman! Sounds pretty awesome, if I do say so myself."

She wished she had a cool superhero name. Oh wait, she does! Panda Girl. One half of her superhero team with Ducky Boy. He seemed to have disappeared though, which meant she was all alone fighting the flour monsters that attacked her while she was baking. It was a very sad fact indeed. Perhaps Brendan would be in her superhero team with her. Once he sat down, spreading sand all over the place, she waved her hand back and forth in front of her face so it would float away. Laughing a bit at him brushing it off of her, she said, "I don't mind; don't worry about it."

Cocking her head to the side, she looked at him through her big sunglasses. He wasn't out here by choice? Hm, that was weird. She couldn't imagine him getting kicked out of the castle or getting a detention down by the lake. It made her curious, so she said with a bit of a smile, "How come you're down here by force? And it's a shame, I was planning on going swimming soon."

[brendan]

[ I'm better, thanks :} ]

He looked at her, as she asked You would kill your loyal Quidditch Captain? He raised an eyebrow, and said, 'Well, since you put it that way... Yeah, I would. And then I'll bring her back to life!' He said with a nod of his head, grinning at her. He liked her as his Quidditch Captain, since she was the only one he got, so he wouldn't dispose of her yet. Perhaps someother time when she was asleep in bed. He would sneak in and then attack her! With what, pillows? Yknow, that's an interesting idea. The attack of the pillow monster.

Brendan Slater the pillow monster? Holy shiz. He turned his attention back, when she started calling his special name aloud. Superhero Slaterman! Sounds pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. He grinned, and replied 'Psh, course it is. It's mine. But it's kinda unfair don't you think? You get to call me a really kewl name, and I don't get to!' He said with wide eyed horror. Well, that's how he was. He might look nerdy (which he really hated), but he hell wasn't.

He was glad that she wasn't about to kill him for spraying sand on her. Most girls did - they would complain it messed up their outfit or something, which he hated. If the sand got on your outfit, too bad, but take it up somewhere else, please. HE grinned at her, and when she asked why he was down here, he frowned instantly. Placing his hands behind him, propping himself up, he said with a small sigh, almost inaudible, 'Cause... The Boogey Man was chasing me.' He grinned, it was such a fraud and she should know it. But it was funnaye, admit it!

Daily dose of faux affection.

[Avery Moretti]

Oh dear! Maybe she would be forced to revise the Quidditch Team. She couldn't have people on it that wanted to kill her! That would be terrible. Maybe Brendan would kill her so that he could take over her Chaser spot. Gasp! Now she was all worried. But not really, since they were just kidding and it was funny. How he would bring her back to life, she didn't know, but didn't actually care, either. When you say you're gonna do something, there must be some way to actually do it. Avery had complete trust in Superhero Slaterman. :] Even if he was going to kill her with pillows.

Uh oh. If Brendan was a pillow monster, he couldn't be a superhero! People can't be monsters and sueperheroes at the same time. You're one or the other! Choose your side. Grinning, she nodded her head. If she got to call him Superhero Slaterman, it was only fair that he got to call her something, too. "Well, I am a superhero as well. I go by the name of Panda Girl! Which basically comes from the fact that my friend and I were baking Triple Chocolate Chunk cookies and flour was attacking us and we were fighting it and I was wearing panda pajamas." She nodded her head kind of spazzy like, laughing a little as she remembered that night. Where Duckie Boy had disappeared to, she didn't know, but she missed him. :[

With a frown on the boy's face, she wondered what it was. Did he get expelled from the school or something and was only allowed on the grounds but not inside? Were there some mean bullies threatening to kill him if they saw him inside again? So many possibilities. Yet, when he stated what it was, she laughed a little. "You're scared of the Boogie Man? He's just misunderstood, y'know. He comes out at night to boogie around and dance with people, but they just run away from him. It's not his fault he isn't the most attractive fella in the world."

Nodding her head matter-of-factly, she smirked. What a load of rubbish she was. Oh well, it was super fun talking about stuff like this. That's just the way she was. Excitedly, she leaned forward and said in a hushed tone, "Have you ever met Bigfoot?"

[brendan]

Darmmyit. She knew he was thinking about killing her with pillows, and she would reshuffle him off the Quidditch team! He was definitely not planning to ursurp her position. After all, he had already thought it out. Adrian was a Seventh Year, and he would be leaving, with his Chaser position empty. Bren wanted to play Chaser, so he could wait. It always meant more time to hone his skills, no? And he liked his Qudditch Captain, thank you very much. So why would he kill her?

People could be monsters and superheroes! Monsters who are misunderstood and are actually superheroes! Although Bren very much prefered being pillow monster. It sounded funny, and way cooler. He nodded when she said Panda Girl. Now that was one funky name, if he said so himself. 'Now, can't ask you much about that can I? Only perhaps... Were those PJs comfy?' He said with a slight laugh, before thinking about cookies. He would like cookies now, very very berry much. After all, it was cookies!

Scared of the Boogie Man? Brendan James Slater was certainly not scared of the Boogie Man! ... Was he? He wouldn't know, after all, he never met the Boogie Man before! But as Avery explained about the Boogie Man, he found himself laughing. 'Haha, right. The most attractive fella? Over your own boyfriend? Over me!?' He asked with a quirked eyebrow, waiting for a reply to that.

When she asked about Bigfoot, his eyes went wide. Hell no he hadn't met Bigfoot, though he heard of it. Course, this talk was so bringing out the inner kid in him, but he wasn't complaining. After all, Bren was a kid, who just looked majorly nerdified, which he hated.

[Avery Moretti]

Why would he kill her? For her Chaser spot, duh! There was always the chance that Adrian might fail and be held back. Brendan would get impatient and bored of practicing his little heart out just to be a substitute. He'd get annoyed and finally just snap, killing Avery for her spot. Although, why he would kill her of all the Chasers was odd. Why couldn't he kill one of the other two people? People he didn't even know; which would make the murder much more easy. xD Okay. Brendan wouldn't kill anyone.

I guess that's right. Like Spiderman. There was emo, black Spiderman that was evil. Then there was cocky, red Spiderman that was good, but stupid. :] Pillow Monster it is. Now Avery wouldn't be able to sleep on her pillow in fear it would turn on her and suffocate her! Oh dear. Chuckling, the Mihael said, "Mhmm. Very comfy indeed."

Brendan, the first step to solving a problem is admitting you have one. Just say it; you're afraid of the Boogie Man. It's not a bad thing. Don't deny it! Smirking, she put her hands on her hips and tsked at the boy, saying, "Now, don't you insult the Boogie Man! He's very sensitive." Nodding her head, she shook her head at him. Some people just didn't understand the Boogie Man. It was a very sad thing. "Y'know, the Boogie Man has feelings just like everyone else!"

Not being able to keep up her act, she laughed, noticing his expression about her question about Bigfoot. Smiling, she shrugged and sighed. "That's too bad. Me and my friends are trying to find him."

[brendan]

Now, if there was one thing Brendan was not, it was that Brendan was not evil. He wouldn't kill anyone. And besides, he had his bondiggidy substitute partner miss Vivian, so if she's around he wouldn't kill. Captain Avery no need to worry anything. Besides, killing Avery would be hard; her boyfriend would miss her, and so would the rest of the team. Naw, he should choose a easier target if he wanted to. Perhaps Aly? xD Naw, he was joking, yes he was.

Pillow Monsters don't kill the innocents! No, Pillow Monsters only killed those who were mean to pillows, like drooling it or having pillow fights, without the permission of the Pillow Monster. Now that was when the Pillow Monster would strike, hard.

No, Brendan was NOT afraid of no Boogie Man. Perhaps only when in a dancing contest, but that's how it earned its name, as the BOOGIE man. Because it could boogey. :} When Avery scolded him, his eyes widened, and raised his hands up in the air, as though surrendering. 'Oh no sorry sorry sorry Mr. Boogie Man I apologise!' He said out loud, so that the Boogie Man could hear. He didn't know that the Boogie Man had feelings! To him, the Boogie Man was only a good dancer. That's all.

When he heard that they were finding Bigfoot, he raised an eyebrow, and said, 'Who exactly is trying to find Bigfoot? I want to join!' He said surely, as a grin crept onto his face. This would be mighty fun, yes yes.

[Avery Moretti]

Fine fine fine. Brendan is not evil. Although, even having the thought about killing Aly instead is quite cruel. Amusing and funny, but cruel. [Lol, joking, joking.] At least he seemed to have some sort of a heart, with actually thinking about how Jackson would feel and everything like that. So maybe Brendan isn't evil, he just has the same sick kind of humour as Avery and the rest of her friends. xD

How do you know? Well, I suppose you would, being a Pillow Monster and all. And hey, those things aren't quite so bad! Avery drooled on her pillow. It wasn't her fault. It's not like she did it purposefully. And pillow fights just happened. ;-; Oh dear. Avery would have to apologize to her pillow tonight, she felt guilty now. The real people that should be killed by pillows are the ones that take out their anger by beating on their pillows. Mhmm, they're the bad ones.

Oh ho ho. The Boogie Man could totally kick Brendan's little booty at dancing. He was the best dancer ever. Grinning, she watched as he surrendered and apologized about insulting him. Nodding her head, she smiled with satisfaction. Now the Boogie Man wouldn't be sad or anything. Good.

Smiling, Avery said, "Me and Jackson are trying to find Bigfoot. As well as my friend Jessica. You can join in on the search if you'd like! The more, the merrier! Plus, the more people we have, the more land we can cover in our search." She nodded her head, grinning at the boy. Her and Jackson hadn't talked about Bigfoot for awhile, but she was still determined to find him. "Where do you suppose would be a good place to start?"

[brendan]

In all honesty, did Bren look like someone who would kill? Now that hurt, really. He wouldn't kill anyone, and of course he cared what Jackson thought! He didn't need a sixth year chasing after the small fifteen going on sixteen year old second year, thank you very much. Bren actually wanted to live! He would probably die from a sixth year attacking him - the knowledge was very much different, and in terms of skills... Jackson was prolly better, no?

Legasp! Avery drooled? Why, this was interesting blackmail information, yknow. Anyway, if Avery apologised to the pillow, anddd seeked the forgiveness of Pillow Monster, would she survive the night. Yes sirree. The bad people were those who punched the pillows. If Boogie Mans could have feelings, so could pillows. They do nothing but provide comfort for you, and you in turn punch them? How could you! Pillows are soft friendly huggable things, just like the Pillow Monster. xD

Of course the Boogie Man would kick Bren's butt at dancing. Take a look at the boy in front of you - other than able at the guitar, he definitely couldn't do anything much. Maybe that's why he was boring to some; because he was THAT untalented. He was however, glad that the Boogie Man wouldn't be mad at him.

'Well, I be downright honored to help you find Bigfoot!' He said with a nod. When she asked where the "creature" would be, he put a finger to his lips. 'Well, if I were Bigfoot, I would hide in a big place, since I was big. Maybe we oughta search the castle or something first; like the Dungeons?' He didn't know whether Bigfoot was a scaredy cat, and that the Dungeons might not suit him, or her. If Bigfoot turned out to be a girl.

[/font]

[Avery Moretti]

Well... No, he doesn't look like someone who would kill. Not quite. And aww, how sweet. Thinking of Jackson and all. Even though it was only because he didn't want to be killed by a sixth year. Still, very sweet. :] And I'm terribly sorry, Mistuh Brendan Slater. I don't think you're an evil murderer. You're very sweet and nice. Yup yup. [For a Pillow Monster, anyway.]

Well, yes. Oh gosh. Now the whole Mihael tower would find out, followed by the whole school! Then she'd know who to blame for letting the secret out. And she would hex Brendan like you wouldn't believe. But all of that would prove that Brendan was mean. Which meant he could have the personality to be a murderer! Dun dun dunn. It was all becoming more clear. Maybe he had an alternate personality that she didn't quite know about. [And he didn't know about, either.]

Okay, okay. Avery would apologize very much for her drooling. Even though it wasn't her fault because she was sleeping whenever it happened. And fine. Pillows definitely had feelings. Very big feelings, because obviously they were very sensitive. Avery would take care of her pillow extra careful from now on. :]

Bwaaha. Poor Bren. He'd be totally schooled by the Boogie Man, and it would be absolutely amusing. If they ever did find him, they'd have to have a dance off. Avery would videotape it and then laugh at Bren later to show how much worse he was than the Boogie Man. Grinning, Avery said, "Yay! I'm glad you'll help. The more people we have to find Bigfoot, the easier it'll be." Smiling at his thinking face, she thought he was a pretty cute little Mihael boy.

"Good point, good point," she noted. Then, her bright blue eyes got wide and she said, "You think Bigfoot is in the castle? We were thinking more along the lines of like... Canada or something." She chuckled, thinking of how fun it was searching for Bigfoot.

[brendan]

Thank you. Brendan James Slater didn't kill. At least, he hadn't before. Unless squishing ants counted. But who never squished ants? Many people squished ants. It was true you know. We could walk on an ant and never know until someone goes "Oh my gawd dead ant!". Then one would know. Of course, Bren would self admit he had killed more than a few ants. Everyone had, since most of the time we're too preoccupied up there we don't look down. As he let a sigh escape, he crossed his hands, letting the fingers interlace, resting his head on them.

Being the meanie did not mean that he was a bad person. Heck no. He was a good kid after all. Ate his vitamins daily, just like how a normal person would do. Wouldn't you to? And he definitely didn't want Avery coming after him, just because he had told the whole Mihael tower. Which he wouldn't. It was just potential blackmail material, he never said he was gonna use it. Maybe his unknown alternate personality would use it though.

Pfft. Thanks. Bren already knew he was bad at dancing, he didn't need you to rub it in. He could however, play pretty decently on the guitar and violin [ Yes, the violin! ], so he was happy with that. And he could hold a tune, no matter how little, he could hold one. So be proud of him, be proud! As he let a tongue run over his bottom lip, he chewed on the bottom lip, a habit he had yet to break. Well, it showed he was thinking, and actually using his brain. [ Surprise surprise ]

He looked at her, and shook his head. 'Of course the castle. I mean, haven't you ever heard many reports? And you never tried the castle, like ever?' He blinked at her, before continuing, 'Hogwarts is like, one of the safest places, so of course Bigfoot would know. So he would come here, wouldn't he?' He stated, as he looked at Avery, wanting her to understand. Bigfoot must be in the castle! Right?
