Skipping happily down the hall Caerwyn suddenly skidded to a halt in front of the boys bathroom. She had been missing her favorite sparkly aqua blue quill for months now and suddenly she knew just where it was. She must have dropped it in the stinky boys room when she was making it pretty. Gleefully she threw the door open covering her eyes and yelling out "Girl incoming" giggling she felt her way in to the room, and when no reply came dropped her hand.
"Peeeewww" she said quickly reaching up to pinch her nose. Boys sure were stinky. Whipping out her wand she quickly wafted the stink away leaving the room smelling like cupcakes and strawberries. Much better she thought as she started to poke about for her quill.

Bathrooms, why on earth were there no bathrooms down in the dungeons? Or at least none that Saul had ever found, so he had to take a detour as he left the Great Hall and go in completely the wrong direction, up the stairs to find the boys bathroom. Such a pain when he'd just have to turn around and go allllllll the way back down all of those stairs and then some just to go back to the common room.
Finally reaching the toilets he shoved open the door and was hit first by the weirdest smell. Since when did a bathroom ever smell like cakes? That was just abnormal! And then he spotted her. A girl, in the BOYS bathroom??
"What are you doing in here." He snapped suddenly, very surprised to see her there. "This is the boys bathroom, can't you read or something!"

At the sound of a voice behind her, Caerwyn jumped whacking her curly red head on the sink she was searching under. "Owwww" she muttered as she whipped around and faced the intruder. As he spoke to her she frowned. What an unpleasant boy.
Of course maybe he really had to potty and she surprised him she reminded herself, it isn't like she actually belonged in here after all. "Hello there" she said in her most cheerful little voice, turning her smile on full watts. "I was just looking for my quill. I think I left in here last term" she continued on with a giggle. "You just go ahead and potty, I'll turn the water on so I won't hear" she said nodding and reaching over and turning on the sad plain colored water "Don't worry you won't be in my way" she finished as she touched the tap with her wand so the water turned a lovely pink sparkly color and then continued about her looking.

Saul jumped a little as the girl bumped her head on the sink, he winced, it sounded like it had hurt. He hadn't meant for that, he may have been a sour, arrogant little so-and-so but he didn't particulary ever want to hurt anybody. "Um, sorry for making you jump." He muttered a little awkwardly. He wasn't good with apologies.
She'd explained to him that she was looking for her quill she lost there last year? Saul frowned and in the end he just had to ask, "How exactly did you lose your quill in the boys toilets in the first place?"
He wasn't overly impressed with her display of magic to turn the water pink, well he wasn't a fan of pink obviously! But he was also not keen on the idea of using the bathroom while SHE was in the room, his sister lurking outside the door to annoy him at home was bad enough, but a complete stranger and in one of those stalls where there were gaps at ceiling and floor? He didn't think so.
No he would have to just get her out of there quick, and that would mean helping her to find her lost quill; if it was even in there. That might take sometime but well, Saul wasn't that desperate to go.
"Oh, um, that's ok why don't I look for your quill a bit first. Help you find it quicker." He said hurriedly darting into one of the stalls to search the floor having no idea of just what this quill looked like.

Rad entered the bathroom in a hurry with the intention of, y'know, peeing... he wasn't really expecting to find a girl to be waiting there for him. "Um......" Rad muttered, baffled by the sudden intrusion of his sanctuary - or had he entered the wrong bathroom? And to make matters even more confusing, he noticed there was a boy in one of the stalls. A boy... and a girl... alone in a bathroom?
"... Am I interrupting something?" He said loudly as he stood in the middle of both, giving each of them a perplexed look. Something was definitely wrong here... the bathroom smelled like cupcakes. Cupcakes and strawberries actually. What exactly were they doing?!

"Oh well" Caerwyn giggled her pale cheeks turning a little pink "You see my Mom and her friends always talk about the adventures they had in here and the trouble they got in to" she explained dancing herself a little closer so she wouldn't have to shout "And I just wanted to see what it the big deal was and then well it looked so boring" she continued her big green eyes glinting mischievously "and I just had to make it prettier, and then my Freddie caught me and I think while we were having our water fight I lost my quill" she finished up with another giggle.
When the boy offered to help her look for the missing quill Cearwyn couldn't contain herself "Oh Thank you!" she shrieked throwing her arms around him and squeezing surprisingly tight for someone who was very small. "That would be just lovely of you" she told him still hugging
"I am Caerwyn Catrin Ariyana Kynward by the way and I think we should be friends" she proclaimed as the door swung open and another boy entered "Oh hello there" she said letting go of the boy in front of her bound over to the new one. "Oh no you are not interrupting anything, we are just looking for the quill I lost in here last term. I can turned on the water so if you have to tinkle we won't hear" she told him as she tucked a stray red curl behind her ear. "I am Caerwyn Catrin Ariyana Kynward and this is my friend...Um...." she shrugged and turned toward her new friend waiting for him to fill in his name.

She made him jump as the girl suddenly jumped forwards and hugged him. He hadn't been expecting it at all, I mean why were girls so big with the hugging? Saul just didn't get it.
"Oh, sure, no problem." He replied rather awkwardly, he was thankful when she let go of him and introduced herself and proclaimed that they should be friends. He wasn't going to argue disagree with her, sure she was a girl and a little....odd, but Saul didn't exactly have an abundance of friends so he should probably make some effort right.
He was glad she had let go of him though when the bathroom door swung open and another boy wandered in. It was pretty obvious what he must have been there for, but the situation inside the toilets seemed to be becoming ever more confusing. If anymore people came in they could have a party.
Caerwyn introduced herself to the newcomer, who looked about as awkward being in there as Saul was still feeling, and led the way for him to introduce himself too.
"Oh, um I'm Saul Alexander Talvos. And yeah, well I came in to use the bathroom but thought I'd help Caerwyn find her quill she was in here looking for first." He didn't add because he didn't want to use the bathroom while a girl was in here, but he suspected the other boy might have guessed that much.

After hearing the girl's explanation the first thought that emerged into Rad's mind was "Who the heck loses a quill in a bathroom?" Oops, there he went again, thinking out loud without analyzing the consequences that his words might bring. Well sure, it wasn't that serious, but once he starts, he cannot stop... and his hasty tongue has already gotten into him a mini altercation here in Hogwarts, so he was trying his best to control what he says. Rad simply shrugged at the girl's suggestion; he didn't really care if they listened to him peeing... it was just a natural bodily function, right? Then again, so is burping and farting and that was frowned upon. "Um... it's okay, I'll do it myself," Once he turned the faucet, the water started coming out pink. A bit startled by the bathroom's sudden changes, he turned around and looked at the girl, as if she was the culprit behind all of this (surely the scary-looking boy wouldn't be up to these shenanigans). "... What did you do to our bathroom?" Rad questioned, a bit terrified what the answer would be. Though to be completely honest, he didn't really mind the smell of cupcakes and strawberries...
Rad nodded as they introduced themselves, eyeing the other boy a bit apprehensive. He was already getting bad vibes from him. "Well, I'm Rad, Rad Atha... and do you have any idea where you dropped your quill? Hold that thought," Rad said before the girl even replied as he quickly hopped into one of the stalls and did his thing. "Ahhhh..." a sigh of relief escaped his lips; he just couldn't hold it any longer. After flushing the toilet, he came out of the stall once again and smiled at the girl. "Okay, as you were saying?"

'Well I do I guess" Caerwyn chirped at the boy's blurted out question happily giving herself a mental cheer, just last year she would have been so shy at this point she would have cried and ran away. Baby we've come far she thought as she watched the boy go to turn on the water and giggled at his reaction "Oh but don't you think it is ever so much better?" she asked him when he returned from the stall "Oh you boys should have seen it last term, I made it simply glitteriffic." she twirled about sending her skirt flying and the tutu she hid under it spinning. "Oppsie Sorry" her spinning stopped suddenly as she spun in to Saul.
"Well Freddie and I had a big water fight so I bet it slid under something when the water drained" she answered Rad's question as she leaned against Saul"That is why I was looking under the sink when Mr. Saul Alexander here came ..." she stopped and looked at Rad "Ooooh don't forget to wash your hands" she said cheerfully waving to the still running tap "Don't worry the water won't turn them pink and I didn't turn the soap this time so sadly you won't get them glittery either" she said making a little pouty face, no glitter was truly a sad thing in her little world.

Saul was slightly surprised by Caerwyn and her sudden twirling, she seemed to have no control over direction as she span and collided with him. He stumbled a little and grabbed onto her shoulders to try and steady them both, last thing he wanted was to fall into a heap on the floor; he'd felt embarassed enough as it was but who knew what was down there on that floor.
She'd stopped spinning and Saul had thankfully managed to stop them from falling on the floor but she continued to lean against him as she spoke, making Saul feel slightly uncomfortable. He wasn't the touchy feely type and she was invading his personal space. His first instinct would have been to push her away but that would probably have rather hindered their friendship.
"Um, so do you think your quill is under the sinks or something? Or is there a drainage grate in here somewhere? Could it have gone down there?" Saul asked hastily, wanting an excuse for Caerwyn to stop leaning against him so he might be able to go look for this quill, and perhaps actually get to use the bathroom at some point this evening.

Rad was actually glad to see that Caerwyn wasn't taken aback by Rad's blunt nature. Gee, if only there were more people like her in Hogwarts... everyone seemed to be so sensitive nowadays. "Umm... I guess so," he merely said at Caerwyn's question as he shrugged; he didn't really see what was the point of pink water. "I have to say though, I really like the smell of cupcakes and strawberries." It was a refreshing smell for Rad's delicate nose; every time he entered a public bathroom there was an intoxicating odor that disgusted him a bit.
"Oh wow, a water fight!" Rad's eyes widened and shined at the thought of it. He's never participated in one and the idea sounded really fun to him. "Is there anything even special about this water quill? Couldn't you get another one some other time?" It really seemed as if it was lost for forever, especially if Saul had suggested to look in a drainage grate.

"Drainage grate?" Caerwyn asked looking a little green at the thought of sticking her hands in something so slimy. "Well I guess we could try there" she finally replied putting on a brave face and taking a step away from Saul whom she had no idea she was making uncomfortable. To Caerwyn unless you were a creepy muggle in a white van offering candy and puppies there was no such thing as personal space.
"Ohh Don't you?" she squealed a second later in response to Rad statement about the sent "It is so much better then the Ode to Tinkle that it smelled like before" she shook her head causing a storm of movement in her long red curls, why were boys so stinky anyhow? She thought to herself before replying to Rad's question.
"Well I mean I guess I could get another but this one was such a pretty color" she said scrunching up her nose in thought "Yes I think it is worth going down the slimy grate to see if I can find it" she sighed on got on her knees trying to steal herself to the yucky task.
"You know water fights are really fun, maybe we should organize one down at the lake for start of term" she said hoping they would think it was just conversation and not her trying to stall from the task at hand. "What do you think Saul Alexander? Does that sound fun to you?" she smiled up at the boy, she could tell by the gleam in Rad's eye when he said water fight that the idea would appeal to him.

Saul had to admit that it would probably be a better idea for Caerwyn to just get a new quill, there would probably be one pretty much the same as the one she'd lost in the shop wouldn't there. There was like a whole shop in Diagon Alley just for quills, there couldn't be THAT many different varieties could there? Saul had never actually been in the shop, to him a quill was a quill, if it wrote that was good enough why waste money on fancy ones when you could save a few galleons to put towards a racing broom or something like that.
Besides if the quill really had been flushed away with the water into the drain would it even still be use able? Just imagine if you forgot where it had been and started to absent mindedly chew on it...yuk!
"Well, if you can't see the quill on the floor anywhere then that's probably where it went when all the water drained away, probably got flushed down there as well." He said knowledgeably. As he looked around on the floor for the grate to drain away water, "But if it went down there are you really sure you'd want to use it again. I mean even with scouring charms I dunno if I'd want to touch it." Saul wasn't your typical 'grubby' boy. He'd never been one for making mud pies or playing in the dirt as a young child and he still liked things to be neat and clean. It was a trait he'd inherited from his father who liked everything pristine.
He listened to the other two talk about the smell, yes it was pleasant, more pleasant than a toilet could ever normally smell but it was kind of weird, and moved onto the subject of water fights. That was more the 'messy' kind of fun that Saul could enjoy, water was clean generally speaking, and the 'fight' part implied some sort of competition to it all, it did actually sound like a good idea. So when Caerwyn asked his opinion he smiled wryly.
"Yeah, sounds like it might be a good idea."
