Peaceful Serenity; Open

[Kamy Shindana]

Nodding, Kamy smirked a bit to herself. Today was turning out to be better than she thought. At worst, she figured she'd get eaten. How horribly horrific would that be, though? A tragic end to a mere second year.

She could see the headlines now... "Bright Green Fish Eats Second Year Mihael At Hogwarts; School Closed For Inspection"... How stupid would that be? Stupid fish, and stupid random thoughts. x.x

"I'd be okay with a small fish. A non-stick-eating fish, one that doesn't glow neon colors... Y'know?"

[carter]

"I'd be okay with a small fish. A non-stick-eating fish, one that doesn't glow neon colors... Y'know?"

Carter nodded.
"Yeah...I have to admit that I wasn't expecting the thing to eat the stick. Normally it either moves or doesn't...not eats the object I'm testing its aliveness with..."

He treaded water for a moment in silence.

"Sadly...that is not the first thing I have poked with a stick to test to see if it was alive." he smiled, letting himself float onto his back - his mass of hair almost covering his eyes.

[Kamy Shindana]

Giggling a little bit, she nodded to his second comment. She'd poked plenty of dead-looking objects to see if they were alive. Including her brother on many ocassions after a drunken night with his friends.

"I used to have to jab my brother with sticks and such to wake him up..." another half-giggle left her lips as she sighed. "Then I just gave up, and dumped water on him."

As if proud of her accomplishment, a small smile turned to a grin. Considering her brother had been twice her size, she was able to evade him easier. But then again, when he caught miss Kamy? Oh boy... tickle fest. x.x

[carter]

"I used to have to jab my brother with sticks and such to wake him up...Then I just gave up, and dumped water on him." giggled Kamy, with a smile.

"I used to poke my friends back home if they ever fell off their brooms and didn't get up." Carter smiled, remembering when he was poked once or twice, "It's actually quite amazing how little all of us got hurt..." he realized, as an owl flew overhead.

It was about the right color of his owl...but there were a lot of brownish-white colored owls here at Trio's.

[Kamy Shindana]

Laughing a bit, she sighed a little. "I've never flown... Scared of heights," she explained, glancing around. Kamy was used to the water now, but still got chills when she moved just right. Why were there always cold patches in the lakes anyway!?

Looking down, the Mihael saw a tiny fish swim by her feet. A smile grazed her lips and she looked over to Carter. She figured it was a harmless fish, considering it was smaller than her foot.

[carter]

"I've never flown... Scared of heights," admitted Kamy, seeming to shiver slightly at a random cold spot in the lake.

"Really?" he asked, nearly sinking from shock. This was the second person who admitted this that he had met at Trio's. It just seemed so...so strange to him.
"Well...if you start near the ground and work your way up, it's really not scary." he smiled, as a small fish swam by Kamy.

'Small fish can swim up...' he thought, eying it carefully. He didn't like the idea of a fish popping his 'personal bubble' by swimming up his swim-trunks.

It veered toward him, and he moved slowly away. 'I'm just being cautious...' he convinced himself.

"I never knew how much life was within this lake..."

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

Nodding, she smirked a bit as he moved. The fish must've gone over there, since he mentioned the life in the lake. "There's quite a bit. And maybe you could help me out sometime, if you're a good flier?"

Shrugging a bit, Kamy saw another fish swim by her, this one a bit bigger. Why were fish all attracted to people and stuff? It's like, when people were in the lake, they would come and bother you. But when you're fishing, there's not a fish to be found! Hmph. One of those things the Mihael didn't understand.

[carter]

"There's quite a bit. And maybe you could help me out sometime, if you're a good flier?" said Kamy.

Carter still eyed the fish carefully, but answered, "Yeah, sure. Anytime."

He made a quick movement, scaring the fish away from him...only to replaced by a larger and angrier looking fish.

"I think the fish are hungry..." he commented, moving his foot away from where the larger fish was - he guessed - trying to eat his big toe.

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

Laughing a bit, kind of nervous, she hoped there weren't any huge fish that were hungry, like by the pier. Those things were like, gigantic! "Well... I don't want to be their food..."

Moving a foot or two closer to shore, she kept her eyes in the water. No fish by her. Maybe they only ate boys? That would definitely make sense. Wait, no... it wouldn't. Boys and girls would taste the same, wouldn't they? Why was she even thinking of this?

[carter]

"Well... I don't want to be their food..." commented Kamy.

Carter looked behind him, and saw a massive [and I mean massive] fish coming right at him, its mouth open revealing several giant large teeth.

'Maybe I poked its kid...' he thought, noticing a green glow to the fish.

He had to move...and fast. Either turn around and try to out swim the fish...or...

Carter dove and swam as low as he could, just underneath the fish, his heart pumping in his ears.

Looking up, he saw that the fish was beginning to rotate downwards.

Nearly breathing in water, he sprinted [swim-wise] towards the shore. He had the lead, since the fish was so large that it took it awhile to rotate towards him.

'I'm going to die from a giant fish in a lake because I poked its kid with a stick...but it ate the bloody stick!!!!!!!' he thought, grabbing a rock and pulling himself out of the water, just as the fish closed its mouth right behind him.

Looking more P.O.ed then any fish he had ever seen, Carter sat on the rock - still a little ways from shore - and rested his head on his knees.

"Well...that was different." he commented, still feeling the adrenaline flow through his veins.

[Kamy Shindana]

ooc; NO MORE POKING FISH! x.x lol

Eyes widening as Carter swam into the water and then to the surface, she didn't understand why until about two seconds after he'd reached the surface. Kamy caught a glimpse of the biggest fish she'd probably ever seen. Gasping lightly, she swam to the shore quickly, hoping not to draw its attention.

But of course, she did.

It swam towards her, and she picked up her speed, barely reaching the shore before it got her. I can NOT die in a lake... I will NOT die in a lake... Running up the shore a bit away from Carter, she fell backwards on the ground when she glimpsed at the lake.

"Ouch..." the Mihael muttered, rubbing the wrist she'd fallen on in the Dungeons as well. Of course, her butt hurt as well, but rubbing that in public might draw some strange looks. Breathing heavily, she looked over to Carter. "Maybe that was the big green thing's mommy?"

[carter]

To Carter's horror, it started to go after Kamy.

He dove in after it, hoping to divert its attention away from the innocent by-stander [since it was him who poked the green thing]. The large fish ignored Carter...until Kamy was on the shore and slipped.

"Ouch..." she mumbled, as the fish did a three-sixty to try to eat the boy who had been annoying it moments before.

Since it divided him from the shore, Carter dove down once again, his heart still racing...and his safe rock too far away.

'This sucks...' he thought, as he swam away from it towards the center of the lake. He was planning on turning and swimming even lower beneath it to get back to shore and hopefully confuzzle it.

Once it was nearly on him, he dove deeper and did a swimmer's flip-turn and pushed himself with all his might back to the shore - the fish had lost ground on catching him just like he thought it would.

Nearly at the shore, he kicked an underwater boulder, cutting his toe.
'Great...now I'm bleeding in the lake...' he thought, only a few feet from the shore now.

Now that it was shallow enough, he threw himself onto the shore, the fish attempting to follow him. Carter quickly climbed away from the edge of the water, and the large green-glowing fish receeted back into the depths.

"Maybe that was the big green thing's mommy?" asked Kamy, as Carter placed pressure on his cut toe.
"Yeah...I'm guess...ing that." he replied, out of breath from his long sprint away from the angry fish.

He let himself fall back, so he was staring up at the sky, his stomach still quickly rising and falling - letting his toe bleed out.

"That was a rush...lesson learned...I will not poke things with sticks that are in this lake." he panted, not moving a muscle.

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

Carter dove into the water, and the fish seemed to be interested in him again. This was just going to be a never-ending cycle of fish-chases. Watching him swim, Kamy lost her view when he dove deeper. The kid was definitely brave.

Getting up when he talked to her, she jogged over there and knelt down by him. His toe was bleeding! Oh no! That could be a fatal wound! Biting her lip gently, she nodded. "Agreed. Now... your toe... we should get that patched up or something..."

Sadly enough, the first curing spell wasn't learned until the fourth year a student was here. Otherwise, she would've simply healed it right then and there!

[carter]

Carter felt a little light-headed. Mostly caused by not breathing as much as he should have when he was out there moments ago - also caused by the surge of adrenaline that now had nothing to do other then make his head swim.

"Agreed. Now... your toe... we should get that patched up or something..." suggested Kamy, after coming to his side.
Brody-boy's gaze changed from a slowly moving cloud [or maybe it was just his head spinning] to her.

"I...uh...probably. This is officially my third bloody wound at Hogwarts." he smiled, "The other two were caused by my hyper owl - Teether. And yes that's why his name is teether."

Taking another breath, he forced himself into the sitting position, and got a better look at his toe. Both his hands had some blood on them already - from putting some pressure on it when he first got out - and now he applied more, when he pressed his hand against it.
'Ow...' he thought, wincing slightly when he placed pressure on it.

"Eh...it's not that deep." he shrugged, grabbing the towl that was closer then he thought it was - upon his clothes pile - and wiping away some of the blood and using that for the pressure instead of his hands.

"At least it didn't eat you...now that wouldn't be fare. I'm the one that fed its kid dinner, and it decides to go after the innocent by stander..." he sighed.

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

Nodding, Kamy could understand the owl wounds. She'd gotten a few herself. Her owl her dad had left her didn't much like her. "My owl doesn't like me. He's scarred me."

When he sat up, she glanced at his toe as well. Carter winced when he put pressure on it and she did a little herself. Other peoples' blood wasn't a big to-see thing in her mind. It made her woozy.

"I wasn't an innocent by stander. I found it." Smirking a bit, trying to lighten the mood, she sighed as well. "But as long as that's not too deep or anything, then we should be good."

[carter]

"My owl doesn't like me. He's scarred me." said Kamy.

"Ha...well mine's just excitable and always wants attention." he replied, holding the towel on his toe with both hands.

"I wasn't an innocent by stander. I found it." Smirking a bit, trying to lighten the mood, she sighed as well. "But as long as that's not too deep or anything, then we should be good."

"Ah...good point." he smiled back, "And yeah...I rather not go to the hospital wing unless I'm unconscious, broken, and near death...and only all three of those things together. Otherwise, I'd rather not." he shrugged, figuring he would visit that part of the castle at least once if he made the Qudditch team as he was currently trying to do.

"Anywayz...I have to admit that was kinda exciting in a near-death sorta way." he smirked, feeling back to normal.

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

Nodding, she agreed. Even when she'd sprained her wrist, she didn't go to the hospital wing. She was terrified of it. Kamy was the kind of person who would put it off until she was about... a minute from death. x.x Then she'd probably die because no one would be there to rescue her, so to speak.

"It was exciting! Well... it's not the first time I've almost been killed here, but it was still exciting..." Deciding against mentioning her visit to the dungeons, the Mihael kept quiet. She hadn't liked it there, and wouldn't go back unless asked to by a friend/teacher; as if that would ever happen. "And if it wasn't so near death, I'd say it was a little fun. Good exercise, too."

[carter]

"It was exciting! Well... it's not the first time I've almost been killed here, but it was still exciting..." replied Kamy.

Carter raised a brow at this.
"Oh really?," he asked, adjusting the slowly-becoming-blood-soaked towel, "I think this was my closest brush with death in seven years..." Carter admitted, looking back up at Kamy.

"And if it wasn't so near death, I'd say it was a little fun. Good exercise, too."

Carter laughed, "Yeah...that defiantly got the heart pumping. Swimming under a giant fish that wanted to eat me was defiantly a rush..."

[/blockquote]

[Kamy Shindana]

"Yeah, I got lost in the dungeons for hours." Scratching the back of her head briefly, she brushed her hair out of her face. It was bugging her, but it always did. Kamy figured her dungeon story was boring compared to almost getting eaten, so she kept it to herself.

She laughed a little bit when Carter did, and couldn't help but agree. "Well, I couldn't believe you did that. I'd never be that brave. I would've panicked or something..."

[carter]

"Yeah, I got lost in the dungeons for hours." replied Kamy, scratching the back of her head slightly.

Carter raised his brows slightly, "Lost in the dungeons?" he repeated, thinking how freaky that would be, "Wow...that sounds bloody horrifying."

"Well, I couldn't believe you did that. I'd never be that brave. I would've panicked or something..." Kamy laughed.

"Eh..." he shrugged, never really finding himself all-that-brave, "I was just trying not to die. It was either swim or become fish food."
