Oh, sheesh, I love the way Sebbie's hair falls over his eyes sometimes...
She mentally shock herself.
Stop crushing on the boy, for heaven's sake.

| Virtual Hogwarts .net > The Lakefront > Do lizards swim? |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 25 2003, 04:30 PM |
| Seb needed air and sunlight. It'd been a few days since he ventured outside. With his new pet (a Tuatura lizard named.. Tuatura..) he sat down just before the waters edge. "So then, Tua, can lizards swim?" He chuckled teasingly; Tua giving him a little tap with his tail. "I take that as a no? Yes? Maybe?" Seb leant back onto the little grass bank thinking of Cien and smiled. |

| "Yo braniac...do you see any webbed feet? It'll sink...I think brooms can swim though..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 25 2003, 09:08 PM |
| Seb opened one eye. "Honestly, Maria. I was only teasing it. You'd be suprised what can swim anyway. I hear Kangaroo's can swim." ((It's true, I saw it on Croc Diaries, that brilliant Steve "by crikey!" Irwin's program lol)) |
| Posted by: MariaRiddle Jun 26 2003, 12:15 AM |
| *MariaRiddle looks around quickly, "Kangaroo's where? I told them they'd conquer us one day! Ahhh!" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 10:11 PM |
| Seb blinked and looked at Maria. "Er, yeah sure whatever mate." |

| *Sariss felt like going for a walk as she had nothing better to do after the Quidditch game had been won and classes were over for the term. She walked towards the lake to maybe watch the giant Squid or just... well... take a walk. As she approached the lake, she saw Seb crouching near the lakeshore. "Hullo, Seb," she said, smiling. "How's Tua doing?" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 10:25 PM |
| "He won't go near the water." Seb sighed and sat down. "I think i'll give up. This lizard doesn't swim." Tua ran up his arm. "Meh. So how's things?" He asked, pointing to the floor next to him. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 10:26 PM |
| *Sariss sat down next to Sebbie. "Things are okay. I'm feeling kinda lost now though. Without the classes and the Quidditch game being over." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 10:28 PM |
| "Hmph. Don't mention bloody Quidditch to me." He said glumly. "I almost miss classes. Almost." He told her, realising he still infact had homework to do. Just a small easy piece. No problem. "Quiet around here? Don't you think?" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 10:33 PM |
| "Yeah. I like it quiet," Sariss said, looking out over the lake. "Not mention Quidditch? You were awesome. That penalty shot you just flopped left-handedly through the Ravenclaw goal-hoops was brilliant!" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 10:37 PM |
| "You mean someone actually saw it?!" He did a little shrug. "You did brilliant for your first game. Way to catch the snitch(es)." He really wanted to put more enthusiasm into his words as he did mean them. He just couldnt. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 10:44 PM |
| "Thank you, but I was just lucky to catch the Snitch. The Ravenclaw Seeker wasn't really looking." She glanced at Seb. "Why so downcast, Sebbie?" she asked, wondering if something had happened. Maybe... "Is it because of..." Her voice dropped to a whisper because she wanted nobody to overhear them. Seb seemed not to want many people to know. "...the curse? Has it... kind of... kicked in more strongly?" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 10:51 PM |
| "I have no idea if it has. Not had a headache since then." Seb licked his lips as he thought. "I don't really know what's wrong. Just a moody teenager I guess? Oh I don't know. I don't care either." He narrowed his eyes and looked at the lake. "Was.. is that a tentacle?" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 10:56 PM |
| *Sariss nodded. "Moody teenager, eh? Aren't we all..." she couldn't help but smile slightly. It was good that he hadn't had another headache. She didn't like to see him suffer. "Yes, that was a tentacle. The Squid is having fun in the sun. Tua seems to enjoy himself? herself? too." Seb's pet was just lying there, blinking lazily. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:05 PM |
| Seb looked at Tua. "He's a male. You can tell from the white markings down his back?" He pointed, then trailed his finger down it. "How are things workin' at the pet store anyway?" Seb enquired. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:09 PM |
| "Oh... okay... I never paid attention to whether the pets were male or female..." Sariss admitted. "Miss Feline sends the pets. I just do the haggling and keep tabs on who has what pet. We haven't been selling much recently, but I guess that's the broom-hyperness. People are saving for broomsticks no matter if they're playing Quidditch or not, I suppose." She shrugged. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:14 PM |
| "Brooms.. Quidditch. PLAH." Seb laid back down and looked at the sky, the clouds passing by. "You know what's strange? Apples. If oranges are orange, why ain't apples called Greens?" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:16 PM |
| *Sariss giggled. "Apples? Greens?" she repeated. "Hmm... good question... maybe because there are also yellow and red apples?" Sariss ran a finger over Tua's back. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:21 PM |
| "Ok. Well why are socks called socks?! Why not... " he tried to think up a word. ".. something else?" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:25 PM |
| "Hmm... Socks could be... Foot-gloves?" *Sariss suggested. "But then again... Why are feet called feet?" *Sariss laid down on her back, gazing up into the blue sky. There were only a few clouds. "Hey... Is it just me or does that cloud look like Dumbledore?" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:29 PM |
| Seb looked. "Urm, nah. The beard needs to be longer. Buy maybe if you squint, and look sideways, it could be Moody?" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:34 PM |
| *Sariss laughed and squinted. "Yeah... That way it looks like Moody... Even the chunk of his nose is missing..." She turned her head. "If you look at it that way it could be Flitwick..." She giggled uncontrollably. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:38 PM |
| Seb squinted hard, looked at it weirdly, with only one eye... "I think you need your eyes testing mate. At a PUSH it could be an elf, but no Flitters.." |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:41 PM |
| "The cloud has shifted a bit... Now it could be a... sheep... or..." she squinted as a breeze made the clouds change shape. "Hmm... a curled up snake..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:43 PM |
| "A curled up snake? More like a pile of .. rope! I was gunna say rope!" He laughed. "That one there." he pointed to the left of the 'rope'. "That looks like a lions head! Oh. Cloud-snake and Cloud-Lion could fight!" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:48 PM |
| "Yes! Brilliant! The serpent and the lion. Cool." The clouds were moving again. "Now it looks like a broomstick and a snitch if you ask me..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:53 PM |
| Seb reached over and pushed Sariss in the arm. "Stop bringing up Quidditch!" He whined. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 26 2003, 11:55 PM |
| "Ouch!" she whined. "It's not my fault if the clouds look like that... Hey, now they look like bats..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 26 2003, 11:57 PM |
| "Nooo. It looks like a group of pinapples out to seek revenge." He laughed loudly at his own joke. "Er.. ahm.." |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:04 AM |
| "Haha! I heard. The pineapple empire strikes back, eh?" she laughed. "Now we just need a cloud that looks like you." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:09 AM |
| Seb snorted. "Fat chance. Dumbledore could, yeah, snake? At a push.. but Seb cloud? Nah." |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:11 AM |
| "Would be fun though... I mean, if we can have a house-elf cloud and a Dumbledore cloud..." she broke off, sniggering again. "Now that is definitely Hagrid!" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:30 AM |
| "Oohh, it's like a whoooole new world. I guess next to it is Norbet breathing fire?" He said, pointing behind the "Hagrid" shaped cloud. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:31 AM |
| "No..." Sariss said. "That one looks like a Thestral." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:35 AM |
| "Uh sure.. ok." Seb sat up and clicked his back. "Do I have grass on my back?" He asked, turning slightly for Sariss to see. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:38 AM |
| *Sariss sat up too and brushed a bit of grass from Seb's back. "There. How about me?" She shook her hair. "Something crawling somewhere? Because I positively hate crawly things..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:43 AM |
| "Hmm, I don't think so." Seb told Sariss, shaking the ends of her hair to get a few strands of grass out. "Apart from that worm going down your neck. joke!! Joke!" he said as he saw Sariss freeze up. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:45 AM |
| "Not funny at all," she grumbled and wrinkled her nose at him. "Just so you know, if I scream at the top of my lungs one day and you think it's for no reason at all, the reason has probably eight legs and crawls across my bed..." She shuddered. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:48 AM |
| Seb was silent in thought for a moment. "No.. I'm pretty sure all the male Slytherins have two legs." He chuckled and picked up Tua, who was sunbathing. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 12:53 AM |
| *Sariss burst out laughing. "As if had to worry about male Slytherins in my bed---oops..." she broke off and blushed. "That sounded very wrong... Rather like something Kittie would 'pounce on' immediately, if you know what I mean..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 12:57 AM |
| Seb grinned widely at Sariss. "I know exactly what you mean!! And yes, male Slytherins in ya bed. Gotcha!" He winked. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 01:00 AM |
| *Sariss blushed even more and bit her lip. Feeling her face go hotter with every passing second, she whispered, "Stop blushing, Sariss, stop blushing..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 01:09 AM |
| Seb grinned more and lightly poked Sariss on the cheek. "Sari is a blusher.. Sari is a blusher! C'mon, let it out, let it alll out. So then you'll have no more blush left." He nodded his head. Tua crawled from Seb to Sari. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 01:12 AM |
| "Yeah, ickle Sari is a blusher... Argh!" she made. "Am I as red as Tua here?" Tua crawled onto her arm. "Hey, you..." she said, stroking him. "We have something in common. We're both red all over at the moment." She broke into a grin. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 01:22 AM |
| "I'm pretty sure you're redder. ah, it's all just part of what makes you.. you!" He said and smiled. "It seems my Tua here likes your..er.. arm!" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 01:25 AM |
| "My face feels like it..." Sariss said and couldn't help but snigger. "Er..." She glanced at Tua. "Seb, you think your reptile friend is hitting on me?" |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 01:42 AM |
| Well, I don't know him well enough for him to tell me his 'pulling' secret, but he could be. Either that or he just plain likes you more than me!" He looked at his pet. "hm." |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 01:49 AM |
| "Well... I DID feed and pet him while he was still in the shop..." Sariss mused. "It's not like people had been ooh-ing and ahh-ing over him. They even found the bats cuter than him..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 01:51 AM |
| "Well that's just plain wrong." He said, tickling under Tua's chin. "We all know he is simply adorable!" |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 01:55 AM |
| "Yes, he is," *Sariss agreed. "Oooh! Is he purring?" A soft growl came from Tua. "He used to do that in the shop all the time. He likes being stroked like that. I'm glad you bought him." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 01:59 AM |
| Seb chuckled. "I'm glad I bought him too! I just hope I look after him. I get bored too easily." He nodded. "I doubt you'd let me, right?" He looked up at Sariss. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:04 AM |
| "I'd be appalled if you forgot to take care of him," Sariss said. "He doesn't need much." She stroked Tua who lazily closed his eyes. "Besides... if you don't have time for him, there's still the Kennel Service." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:08 AM |
| "Nah, i think we'll be ok together, Tua and I! Well, as long as I don't try to make him swim again.. He didn't like that." Seb flicked a piece of hair out of his eyes. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:13 AM |
| "Hmm... maybe he's scared of the giant Squid?" Sariss chanced. Oh, sheesh, I love the way Sebbie's hair falls over his eyes sometimes... She mentally shock herself. Stop crushing on the boy, for heaven's sake. (ooc: hehe... maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that little detail publicly... ) |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:21 AM |
| Seb wrinkled his nose. "No, i just don't think he likes the fact he gets wet." (ooc - well most our lot know anyway *wink* LMAO!) |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:24 AM |
| "You want to take him again? He doesn't look it, but he does get kind of heavy after a while..." *Sariss felt her arm go numb. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:26 AM |
| "Oh, sorry.." he trailed off, taking Tua off her arm carefully. He placed him on the ground in front of him. Tua looked at the water, then back to Seb. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:29 AM |
| "Thank you." Sariss shook her arm. "You reckon he thinks you'll nudge him towards the water? Certainly looks expectant..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:31 AM |
| "Nudge him? No. If I really wanted him in the water, I'd wingardium his arse!" He laughed teasingly. "Don't worry my little Tua. No lake for you today!" he told, as the Lizard stared at him. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:33 AM |
| "Oh, that would be cruel," Sariss said, but grinned. "You can wingardium spiders' asses in there though. I won't tell. I hate the part of the shop where they are. Crawly corner..." |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:34 AM |
| "Ah, and my next pet will be... No. Kidding." Seb yawned, placed Tua in his pocket and stood up. "We sould be heading back towards the common room." He said, offering Sariss a hand up. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:39 AM |
| *Sariss took his hand and got up, smiling and blushing again. "Thank you." She brushed the grass off her robe. "What's your next pet going to be, Sebbie?" she asked, trying to force the annoying blush away. |
| Posted by: Seb_Darwin Jun 27 2003, 02:42 AM |
| "Not a spider. don't worry. Probably a Canary! Don't laugh!!" He said, as he turned to walk back to the common room. |
| Posted by: Sariss Jun 27 2003, 02:47 AM |
| *Sariss followed Seb and giggled. "A Tuatura and a Canary? Now that's a strange taste in pets. Cool though." Together they walked back towards the castle. |
