He stared at her in shock. "No.Way. Viktor Krum is in my house. I wonder what dorm he is in. Dang, mine is full." He looked off into the distance, then finally snapped out of it. "Sorry. I'll stop gushing over Viktor Krum. Oh! Actually I want to show you something." He grabbed his sketchbook. "You can't laugh though."

Luna's face lit up. Dean didn't just show his drawings to anyone, at least I don't think he does. "Of course I won't laugh. I promise," she says smiling. "What is it?"

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 9:54 pm

He grins. "Okay. When we were camping, I was bored and missing my friends." He opened his sketchbook and flipped through some pages fast before finding the one he was looking for. "It's not perfect because I did it from memory, which is a little harder than if I had a model." He smiled at her again and turned the sketchpad towards her. "I know it doesn't look exactly like you..."

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW -just squealed in the library-

Luna's eyes lit up, and she gently took the sketchpad from Dean to look at the drawing more closely. She sat there quietly looking at the picture, lightly tracing her finger along the outside of the page. "You...You drew this? It's really good, Dean. I had no idea you had this kind of talent," she says before looking up and smiling as she handed back the sketchpad. "It's beautiful."

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:06 pm

YAY!!!

He smiled as she looked at his picture. "You like it? Thanks. I have a bunch of Neville and Seamus. Mostly I like doing landscape drawings. Here, I'll show you my favorite I did this summer." He flipped fast through the pages, until he found the one he was looking for. "Did this one while camping too." He showed her the sketchpad again.

"I love it!" She tilted her head to the side as she admired the next picture, smiling as she noticed all the detail Dean had put into it. "Wow. That's really amazing, Dean. I wish I could draw like that. Do you ever draw pictures of Hogwarts?" she asked curiously, finally pulling her eyes away from the picture to look back up at Dean.

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:13 pm

"Not any good ones. I was gonna try to attempt again today. Buildings are hard for me for some reason, with all the straight lines and such." He closed his book, not wanting her to see all of his pictures he has of Ginny. "If I get a good one though, I'll be sure to show you. I love drawing."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:17 pm

"I'd love to see it!" she says smiling. "It must be nice to have something that you love, and are really good at." She smiled, thinking about Caradoc's suggestion of possibly starting a band with her and Nikki.

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:22 pm

He grinned again. "Well, I'm sure there is something that you are good at. Everyone has a hobby."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:26 pm

"Well, there's drumming. Caradoc was thinking of starting a band, and he said I could join! Caradoc is the American guy, by the way," she says because she never actually mentioned his name before.

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:28 pm

"A band! That would be so cool! And girl drummers are the coolest. I'd definitely come to your shows." He thought about the name she mentioned. "That's an interesting name. Seems cool though."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:31 pm

"Yeah, it is sort of interesting. He told me to call him Rad, though. Which is also cool, I suppose." She beamed at the thought of Dean coming to all her shows. "You think so?" she asks, referring to girl drummers being cool. "And I expect you to be at every show. I'd be disappointed if you didn't show up," she teased with a light laugh.

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:34 pm

"I wouldn't miss it for the world! What kind of friend would I be if I missed your shows." He smiles at her again ~~and chants LEAN LEAN LEAN~~"So, who else is going to be in the band?"

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:37 pm

"Um. Well Rad, of course. And my friend Nikki. I don't know if you know her or not. And then some friend of Rad's, Tristan. I don't really know who he is, but Rad said he'd need come convincing. It sounds fun though! I've always wanted to be in a band!"

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:39 pm

"Nikki Orwell? Yeah, I know her ~~she's my therapist~~. She's cool! Hey! Let me know if you need me to draw you some sort of band symbol. If you want to of course..."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:47 pm

"You would do that!? That would be awesome! I'll talk to Rad about it, but I bet he'll be fine with it. We don't have a band name yet or anything, but if you could eventually draw us a symbol- Well, that would be really awesome!" She grinned and hugged Dean again. "I can't believe I didn't think of that. I bet it'll look really cool, whatever it is."

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 10:54 pm

"Well, I'd love to help in any way I can." He patted her shoulder as she hugged him, unconsciously taking in her scent again. Why did he keep doing that? He's not a creep or anything. "So, what do those Snorkacks looks like? They seem very elusive."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 10:56 pm

Luna pulled away and grinned. "Well, they have a crumpled horn and tiny purple ears. They're not very big either. Probably around the size of a medium-sized dog, I think."

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 11:02 pm

"They sound cute! I hope you find one! That would quite an amazing find. You'd have your name in the history books, that's for sure."

**Ravenclaw Mod** September 2nd 2010, 11:05 pm

"I hope I find one too! Then maybe more people would start reading the Quibbler," she said smiling. It'd be nice if people stopped mocking her dad for writing those articles. "Oh! I have class soon," she said sadly because Luna really does have class and it's history and it's so boring, and I don't wanna go. "I should get going. It was really great seeing you again though. I'll see you later, okay?" She grinned and hopped up to go skip off towards the castle like a good little Ravenclaw.

**Dean Thomas** September 2nd 2010, 11:07 pm

"Okay! Have fun! See you around." He smiled and waved her off. Once she was gone he opened his sketchpad to start sketching the lake, and would maybe attempt to draw some of the castle.

George went out to the lake and took his shirt off so that he could lounge in the warm inviting sun. He laid on the grass and used his hands to hold his head up as he dozed in the lazy afternoon. Quite an inviting image.

**Sirius Black** September 3rd 2010, 5:28 am

Caradoc walks down to the lake in his torn blue jeans and unzipped leather vest, a silver chain bearing a pendant with a gillyweed leaf on the front of it dangling from his neck. He lounges out on the grass with his back against a tree and looks up to see a rather good looking guy sitting opposite him. "Hey there," he said in greeting, flashing a smile.

HorcruxHunter September 3rd 2010, 5:31 am

George looked over at the newcomer. "Oh, hello there. erm..great day isn't it?" George felt something in his stomach. Something that he was quite used to that perplexed him very much indeed. But, he's a guy, I can't like a guy, that's just wrong, right? He's probably not even gay, I'M not gay..at least, I don't think so.

And George's budding gayness begins.

**Sirius Black** September 3rd 2010, 5:39 am

"Yeah, wonderful. Good day for a swim, though I did that plenty yesterday. Quite the squid you Brits have got in your lake, can't say I'd seen anything like it before I got here. I'm Caradoc, call me Rad," he said, running his eyes down the redhead's body, inwardly deciding that he was cute, though he didn't typically go for gingers. "Just transferred here from the states, in case the accent didn't give that away."
