Thank goodness for magic, Jenny thought as she cast the undetectable extension charm onto her picnic basket. In went the sweets (the cookies, the cake, the chocolate etc.), the mini sandwiches, the ginger ale (because a picnic just wasn't a picnic without ginger ale, the chocolate-coated fruits and an assortment of other delicious foods. Lastly, she carefully folded the picnic blanket and placed it into the basket. The wicker basket was extraordinarily old - she'd found it in a second-hand shop and only paid $2.50 for it (it was a muggle shop). That reminded her, she opened the chest at the end of her bed. People thought that it must contain clothes and other things from home but in fact it was full of books. After rummaging around for a moment or two, she pulled out a worn copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and slipped that into the basket as well. Shaking her blond hair out of her face, she cast a charm on the basket, making it weightless and picked it up. Smiling, she left the dorm and headed out to the lake.
It was a beautiful day - not a cloud in the sky. Jenny wouldn't have minded if it had been raining but it would have been kind of inconvenient. She had been worried that the foreboding storm clouds from yesterday wouldn't disappear. However she could not have asked for better picnic conditions. Passing a clump of daisies, she picked one out and tucked it behind her ear. Who cared if it was a weed? That didn't make it any less beautiful. Her bare feet were cushioned by the soft, midday grass. A cool breeze rippled through the air, billowing her long skirt backwards. Her clothes were extremely comfortable; she had no reason to dress up.
After walking around the lake for a while, she sat down and began to unpack her picnic basket. She pulled out the red and white checked blanket and spread it out. Pulling out a donut (chocolate with purple sprinkles in case you were wondering) to nibble on, she sat back and waited. Waited for someone to turn up. Because... well - she hadn't actually invited anybody to come have a picnic with her. She'd decided just to hope that someone else would arrive. She was leaving it up to fate, destiny - whatever you wanted to call it. The fact that she had no close friends did kind of get to her although she tried not to show it. Now, she was just going to let what happens happen. She was going to be chill, relaxed - the anti-Jenny. She knew that she had always been a bit too uptight and was trying to be a more spur of the moment person.

The sun was out there were no clouds in the sky and Christina decided it was a lovely day to go walking and visit The Lake. She decided this time she would leave her pet Baxter behind in his cage cause last time he got out of his cage he wandered off into the Forbidden Forest and she had to go find him. She was wearing a a yellow blouse and a floral skirt with a yellow ribbon in her hair. She decided she would take her dog Rex a puggle who was sporting a yellow bandanna. Planing to feed the fish she grabbed a couple of cracker packets from her chest. Then grabbing her yellow purse and placing her wand in it she left the Girls Dorm Rooms and head to The Lake.
About thirty minutes later with Rex in tow on a leash she was nearing The Lake when she saw a 5th year Slytherin girl she believed her name was Jenny. She had seen her a couple times during her first year at Hogwarts but never had a chance to actually meet her. She didn't care that she was a Slytherin, she tried her best to never judge anyone for the house they were in. She always believed in a person's character and their actions to be a judge of the type of person they were.
Jenny was sitting on a nice red and white checkered blanket appearing to have a picnic. She walked up to where she was and with a warm smile said hello. "Hi how are you it's a great day out isn't it, I"m Christina your Jenny right?" she asked. She noticed Rex who started to sniff at her containers of food. "Rex no come here boy that's not yours." she said calling him and pulling on the leash.

Annabelle needed a break. Some fresh air perhaps. She definitely did not enjoy staying indoors for long periods of time. As big as the castle was, Annabelle still felt confined within its stone walls. To her, they felt cold. Literally and figuratively. She didn't have any classes to go to any time soon, so what a better place to go than the lake? She was sure there would plenty of fresh air there. And it would give her a chance to finally wear something other than her dull school robes. Maybe she might even go for a swim if the water wasn’t too cold. It was only the beginning of Autumn after all.
Annabelle donned the only item of swimwear she owned, a navy blue one piece, and slipped her simple white dress over the top. She left her hair down, but wrapped a hair tie around her wrist just in case. With a sudden realisation, Annabelle grabbed her wand from under her pillow. Much to her irritation, her dress did not have pockets large enough to contain her wand. With no other easy options available, Annabelle slid her wand down the front of her swimwear, hoping that she wouldn’t have to draw it in front of anybody.
Annabelle made her way from her dorm to the southern part of the castle with a towel slung over her shoulder, glancing out every window she passed. As soon as her feet touched left the stone floors of the castle she breathed deeply, relishing the fresh air and the feeling of grass beneath her feet. A light breeze whispered at her at her heels as she walked towards the silvery gleam of the lake. Definitely fine weather to go swimming.
Annabelle spotted a nice rock by the water and draped her towel across it neatly. She removed her dress and shoes and also placed them neatly on the rock before turning towards the lake. She had heard of the creatures that lived in the depths of the lake, but she did not intend of wading out very far. Annabelle doubted there would be anything of real danger in the shallows. Well, she hoped at least. In any case, she had not placed her wand on the rock with the rest of her things, so she had some form of defence. Not that she was very knowledgeable when it came to spells. She was only a second year after all.
She dipped her foot slowly into the clear water, and immediately retracted it again. The water was definitely cold. But hell, she came all the way here. Just because it was a little bit chilly didn’t mean she should turn around and go home. She always had this problem. Why couldn’t she just dive in all at once and get it over with? She could be so silly sometimes. Annabelle put her right foot in the water, followed by her left. At least it was something. Now the water reached her ankles. She took a step forward, resisting the urge to squeal like a little girl. She was not a little girl. She took another step forward, larger this time. The water was now up to her knees. Annabelle breathed in deeply, and breathed out. Cleared her mind. Focused on the soft movement of water that lapped at her knees. Focused on the wide expanse of blue that almost had no end. Breathed it. Breathed out. Then, she took one more step forward and dived headfirst into the lake water.
Annabelle resurfaced a moment later, gasping from the cold that suffocated her body for those few moments before she became accustomed to the temperature. “Now, that wasn’t so bad was it?” she smiled to herself and allowed herself to float on her back. This is what she came for. Annabelle stared up at the sky, a little disappointed that there weren’t any cloud formations to admire. But the pure blue was nice too. After a while, her eyes began to hurt from staring too close to the sun and she rolled over to look at the shore.
Much to her surprise, she noticed another girl, not too far off. In fact, she was only a few metres away from the rock on which she had placed her belongings. Annabelle immediately sunk lower into the water. Boy she was weird. Wouldn’t most people go say hello? Nope. Annabelle wasn’t like that. If she had her way she would most likely grab her things and go home. Social interaction with a stranger or a trip to the lake cut short? She would have preferred the second, but she was sure to be spotted slinking away. Plus she would have to leave her things behind. Much better to pretend to be a confident and social person instead. But wait. There was another girl walking towards the lake. With a dog. A dog? Not the most common species of pet at Hogwarts. Annabelle swam closer to get a better look. Yes they both looked familiar. The one with the dog, wasn’t she the girl who got sent to the headmistress’ office? But Annabelle guessed she mustn’t be too bad… after all, she was standing up for her friend. No matter how naive she seemed in the process. Or brave. But Annabelle was leaning towards naïve. If she could just swim a little bit closer and see who the other girl was. Was that… a picnic basket? Annabelle hadn’t realised just how hungry she was until she saw what looked to be a doughnut in the girl’s hand.
Maybe social interaction wouldn’t be too bad. If food was involved, Annabelle definitely liked being involved too. They could exchange pleasantries, and pastries. Annabelle swum closer. She couldn’t remember the girl’s name but she had definitely seen her in COMC. She looked like she was a few years older than Annabelle, perhaps 5th or 6th year? Annabelle’s feet were touching the bottom now and she was feeling her way towards the shore. The Hufflepuff girl and her dog were definitely coming towards the picnic girl. How could she best approach without seeming awkward? Probably with a smile and an easy going posture. If she could pull that off. Weren’t Hufflepuffs supposed to be naturally social? I mean really, shouldn’t she be in Ravenclaw or something. From what she had heard, Hufflepuffs thrived on making new friends.
"Hi how are you it's a great day out isn't it, I"m Christina you're Jenny right?" Annabelle heard the Hufflepuff say to the older girl. But if she had said something after that Annabelle wouldn’t have known because Annabelle was an idiot. If it were possible to trip over whilst swimming, Annabelle did just that. Too caught up in her thoughts and predictions, Annabelle had managed to hit her foot on a submerged rock and tumble forwards in the water, making an unmistakable splash. Perfect. This was just the entrance she needed. Since it was obviously no use hiding now, she stood up in the now just-above-knee-height water. No wonder she had tripped. Annabelle could feel her face going red despite the freezing water, and made her way quickly towards her rock to grab her towel all the while saying, “Hi. Sorry. Woops."

Jenny watched another girl come down and, after much deliberation, dive into the waters of the lake. The other girl hadn't appeared to notice her, she seemed quite intent on... floating around the lake. Jenny sighed wistfully, this girl looked cool as a cucumber. She achieved with ease what Jenny tried too hard to pull off. Then again, practice makes perfect, she told herself. Perhaps if she continued to practice being laid-back and cool - not at all the high-strung Slytherin that she usually was - it would begin to come naturally to her. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully.
Jenny's musings were abruptly stopped by someone's voice. Almost dropping her doughnut in shock, she spun around. It took her a few moments to get over her surprise and register what the girl was saying. A shaky smile came to her lips, "Yes. We've had a few classes together before haven't we?" The girl had a dog with her. That was unusual. Jenny didn't think that she could recall seeing a dog at Hogwarts before. When Christina reprimanded her dog Jenny laughed, "It's okay. This might be what he wants." She opened the picnic basket and stuck her entire arm in, rummaging around among its contents until finally she found what she was looking for. She pulled out a dog treat. It was bone shaped and about the size of Jenny's forearm. "You never know what you might come across," she supplied as she held the treat out to the dog. Jenny had always loved dogs. Animals were her passion. "May I pet him?" she asked to be polite.
Their small talk was abruptly interrupted by a gigantic splash coming from the lake. Jenny's head whipped around in time to see the girl who had been swimming before emerge from the lake. Her face was red - very red. Maybe she's not so chill after all, Jenny thought triumphantly. After the girl had grabbed her towel she turned towards Jenny and Christina and said something. "Hey," Jenny couldn't prevent the smile from creeping to her face. The girl looked vaguely familiar. Perhaps they shared a class together. She seemed younger than Jenny was though, probably a 1st or 2nd year. "Doughnut?" she offered, pulling one out of the picnic basket.

Amber gave a long, drawn out sigh as she looked out of the window into the depths of the lake in her Slytherin dormitory. Too bad down in the dungeons one could never see what sort of day it was. Perhaps it was gloomy and raining, or maybe the sun was shining magnificently in the sky. Amber stared, with a bored expression, out the window for a little longer. She watched as the giant squid swam past and as soon as it was out of sight she stood up. Already clad in a simple t-shirt and jeans, Amber left the dormitory and out of the common room. She hoped it was a warm day considering she wasn’t wearing her jumper. Then again, it had only just been summer, so she doubted it would be too cold.
She walked up stairs and into a corridor which finally had windows and she could see outside. Indeed it was a beautiful day. Amber smiled a large smile for the first time in a long time and continued down the corridor. She had to force herself not to skip as to not look so ridiculous in front of students that she was passing in the corridors. She exited the castle and went outside, letting the warmth of the sun consume her. Then, she stopped to contemplate a decision for a moment. Should she, or should she not, change into her animagus form? She hadn’t in a while and it was always fun running around as a dog. People would see her and then point and laugh and the best thing was that they didn’t know it was a person who was an animagus. They didn’t know it was her. She could act as ridiculous as she wanted to and not embarrass herself. So, quickly looking around to make sure no one could see her, Amber changed into a German Shepard.
She ran around chasing some butterflies, barking madly and even scared off a cat that was sleeping peacefully in the sun. Her tail was waging incredibly fast as she headed closer to the lake. She sniffed the ground and then the air and she smelt something very lovely. Food. Amber followed the smell, wondering where it was coming from. Her ears picked up the chatter of people from a distance. She spotted the small figures of three people. As she came closer, the smell became stronger and the people were getting bigger. She could actually see their faces now. There was Jenny Bay, a fellow Slytherin she hadn’t talked to in a while. And there were two girls whom Amber recalled were in Hufflepuff. One of them was Annabelle or something and the other person...Christina was it? She couldn’t quite remember. Amber also noted that there was another dog. Of course, this dog was most likely an actual dog than a person in an animagi form.
Spotting the picnic basket, Amber ran down towards them barking like mad. As soon as she reached the picnic basket, she tried to stick her head in. When that didn’t work she quickly tipped it over, letting the contents fall out. She picked up a donut which had fallen and quickly gobbled it up before anyone could stop her. Amber gave a satisfied bark. She walked over to the grass and let herself collapse onto the ground. Her tongue was sticking out her mouth as she was huffing. She wondered if they had any water as well or if she would have to drink from the lake. She gave a questioning bark about it, but she doubted they would actually understand her. She thought that it would probably be better to change back into her human form, but decided to stay in her dog form for a while longer just for fun.

Christina felt relieved when Jenny seemed to remember her. She always hated those awkward moments when someone doesn't remember you. "Yes. We've had a few classes together before haven't we?" "Yes we did share classes together, I always found you to be quite talented." she recalled. She was relieved when Jenny seemed to be ok with Rex's interest in her picnic basket and in fact brought out a big bone for him the size of her forearm. "You never know what you might come across," Jenny said. "Where did you ever find a bone like that oh my yes I"m sure he will love that. She loosened up the leash as Rex happily took the bone offered him and he laid down to feast on it. Jenny asked if she could pet Rex. "Yes of course he's a sweetie he just loves attention. she said smiling.
Splasssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh
There was a big splash that came from the lake. Rex stopped his chewing bone got up and turned towards the sound barking. "No Rex heel." she said to stop his barking. Christina saw a girl come out of the lake who seemed embarassed. Poor girl, she must of tripped or something I would be all red myself if that happened to me and it has[/i] she thought. The girl said "Hey" and Christina gave the most sympathetic smile she could muster and said "Hey how are you."
The girl had grabbed her towel and was walking towards them when Jenny offered her a doughnut. Rex had barely started chewing on his bone again when he turned and got up and started barking again at a new dog that seemed to come out of nowhere. She pulled hard on her leash as the dog came running up to them. "NO Rex noooo!" she ordered but Rex kept barking. It was a huge German Shepard. She heeled Rex again backing up from the picnic cloth as the big German Shepard jumped on the cloth and tried to put its nose in the basket. Not seeming to be able to get in the German Shepard grabbed a doughnut that had followed and promptly laid on the ground to enjoy it. Rex stopped barking and went back to his bone chewing but occasionly would look up to make sure the German Shepard wasn't coming after his bone.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid," Annabelle thought to herself as she wrapped the towel around her waist and started making her way over to the picnic, vaguely aware of the sound of barking. She glanced up to look at the girl who's name must be Jenny to see that a smile had crept across her face. She was laughing at her, Annabelle knew it. But no, she couldn't react like that. Composure. Annabelle had to regain composure. Best to laugh along rather than be the up-tight girl who hated being laughed at. Things always turned out much better if she let her easy-going side take over for a little while. Annabelle breathed in and tried to pretend her face wasn't as red as it was.
So when Jenny said hey and offered her a doughnut, instead of reacting defensively, Annabelle accepted her offering, smiled and said, "Actually, yes, I was getting pretty hungry." Though, she never got the opportunity to actually take a bite of the chocolate-coated doughnut or reply to the girl who must be Christina because she was knocked off her feet. As much as she wished it were a charming young man who had knocked her off her feet, it wasn't. Annabelle actually didn't quite know what it was because she was sprawled on the ground.
Stunned, Annabelle looked between her legs and saw a large dog gobble up a doughnut and trot over to lounge on the grass. Weren't dogs supposed to die if they ate weird things like doughnuts? Annabelle stared in disbelief at the dog who was paying them little heed. Falling over twice in less than one minute? Annabelle might have set a record for herself. Though at least she could say that it was not her fault the second time.
"Well it's nice to meet you too," Annabelle said meekly to the dog who had turned to them and barked. "What a weird day I'm having," Annabelle thought to herself as she attempted to push herself up from the ground.

All Jenny had done was offer the girl a doughnut. The next series of events all happened very quickly. She wasn't actually completely sure what had happened. Annabelle fell over. And there was a lot of barking. And a German Shepard appeared. And a doughnut disappeared. In what order these events happened or even how they occurred, Jenny was completely lost. She sat for a moment gaping and taking in the scene before her. Now, the barking had stopped. Christina's dog was content once again, gnawing on a bone. Annabelle was saying something that Jenny didn't quite pick up and getting up off the ground. The German Shepard had flopped over on the ground and was panting a few metres away on the grass.
Coming back to reality, Jenny snapped her mouth shut and began to pick up the contents of the picnic basket that had somehow gotten sprawled over the blanket. They hadn't gotten dirty, although the icing on some of the cake was kind of... smooshed - for lack of a better word. Oh well. They had plenty more remaining food. "Okay, let's get this picnic started," she grinned at Christina and the other girl, even flashing a smile towards the German Shepard. "We have... mini sandwiches, mini quiches, mini pies, mini sausage rolls, mini hotdogs - pretty much any food that should be big. I also have doughnuts, cakes, pies, pastries... pretty much everything you can imagine. Oh, and for the dog bone I used the Engorgio charm. You're in my charms class right? Yeah - I was practicing for that." Jenny was still getting all the food out of the basket, although she probably wouldn't be able to empty it completely. "We also have drinks. Water, ginger ale etcetera etcetera. Help yourself."

Christina heard Jenny say lets get the picnic started as she proceeded to list all the different types of food she had. She certainly has a lot of yummy foods to eat though I must watch my weight and well i don't want to appear to be a piggish girl by eating too much she thought to herself. She watched as Annabelle took the doughnut from Jenny just to get knocked over by the German Shepard who had came running through. Feeling bad for her she offered her a hand as Annabelle attempted to get up again.
"You certainly have quite alot of yummy food here I'm amazed." she said smiling very much surprised. She made sure to help Jenny place all the foods around on the blanket. When she saw some plates and silverware she offered to place them around for everyone. She heard Jenny explain that she got the bone by enlarging a regular sized one from the spell they learned in Charms. "Oh I feel so stupid your right what a brilliant idea." she said turning red a tiny bit but smiling as well. She took one of the mini-sandwiches and placed on her plate. She then picked up half the mini-sandwich and took a bite it was quite delicious. "This is very yummy," she said approvingly to Jenny with a big smile as she wiped a crumb off the corner of her lip with a napkin.

Amber’s head shot up when she heard Jenny say she had lots of different drinks. Amber went over and pushed Jenny with her snout to get the girl’s attention. She then sniffed at the picnic basket again, but if there were any drinks in there they would probably be hard to smell considering they were in a container. Amber watched as Jenny took the food out of the basket, along with drinks (hopefully) and spotted a bottle of coke (double hopefully). Amber grabbed the top of the bottle with her mouth and took it over to the grass. She wondered how she was going to open it as a dog and decided it would probably be best to drink it when she changed to human form later. So, Amber decided to leave her dog drool all over the coke bottle so no one else would touch it. Then she walked back over to the food and gulped down a pastry.
Then, out of complete boredom, Amber started to playfully snap at Annabelle’s feet. She had always thought that Hufflepuff’s were always funny and easy to scare and she decided to see if it was the same with this one. Then she went over to Christina and playfully snapped at her too. Amber would bare her teeth and growl, then playfully bark and pretend that she was about to bite them. Of course she wasn’t actually going to hurt them since that would get her into trouble. At least, she was pretty sure that if she did hurt them, then the person who was hurt would go to the hospital wing and they would realise it was a dog bite. Then the Professors might investigate and discover it was a German Shepard, then realise who it was. Of course that wasn’t about to happen since she wasn’t about to bite them. Amber then looked at Christina’s dog and barked at it playfully a couple of times, teasing the dog and pretending she was going to eat his bone. She wasn’t about to eat the bone since dog food was disgusting. If anybody offered her any she’d probably stare at them with a pointed and annoyed expression thinking ‘really?’

Annabelle listened dreamily as Jenny listed off things that sounded absolutely delicious. Hopefully she wouldn't have to pay for anything because she hadn't brought any money with her. "Don't be stupid Annabelle," she mentally scolded herself, "Why would somebody have a picnic if they weren't planning on giving away some food to the people who came." Coming back to reality, Annabelle noticed Christina had extended a hand to help her up. Annabelle smiled a little sheepishly and took it. Only when she was standing up did she realise that to eat a picnic you would probably have to sit down. Well that would be embarrassing. What a waste of kindness, helping her stand up when she was only going to sit back down. Maybe she should do something so as not to feel so guilty... But much to her disappointment, no logical ideas came to mind. And it would be far too difficult to explain that all to Christina without seeming like a total idiot. Hopefully she wouldn't mind anyway. Really Annabelle? She had to over-think things to the extreme.
Annabelle sat back down and tried her best to help the others prepare the food, but she couldn’t do much to help. She shifted some plates around so that they were spread evenly. Jenny mentioned a spell that Annabelle had heard of before, but wasn’t quite sure what it did. According to Christina, it was a brilliant idea to use it on the dog bone. What? Annabelle was a little bit confused. Maybe she had missed that part when she was bumbling around in the lake.
Annabelle was sure to watch the larger dog very closely when it approached the picnic blanket once more and took off with a coke in its mouth. A coke? Really? Dogs drank coke? Coke and doughnuts. “And pastries,” she added mentally as the dog gobbled up a pastry that had rolled off the side of the plate. Annabelle thought that perhaps it had the right idea, and also popped a pastry in her mouth. She had only taken her eyes off the dog with a sweet tooth for a second, but it had jumped at the opportunity. And without her watchful eye, it had moved in to pull a sneak attack on her. Well, her feet to be more precise. Annabelle shrieked and pulled her feet back, attempting to say “Weren’t the pastries enough for you, you greedy pig!” but it came out more like “Wuh na dawy nuff ooh oh gurhhp!” because of the pastry in her mouth. Apparently, it must have scared the dog away because it was now attacking a less monstrous target, Christina. Annabelle swallowed her pastry as fast as she could but the dog had backed away and was growling and barking at them. Stay calm. She had to stay calm. Perhaps wait for somebody else to come save her butt. Yes, that was definitely a plan. Or maybe she could play dead? Dogs liked to chase a moving target right? If she dropped dead the dog would definitely get bored. So she did just that.
Annabelle dropped her head to the ground and lay absolutely still with her eyes closed. She heard the dog sounds move to the side and risked opening one eye. It had worked! The dog seemed to be playing with Christina’s dog. Or fighting. It was hard to tell when it came to dogs. Though Annabelle predicted that Christina’s dog would not be the happiest dog in the world when it came to the larger dog with the sweet tooth playing with its bone. Maybe she should do something. Pulling her wand from the inside of her swimwear, Annabelle pointed it at the dog bone and said as clearly as possible, “Wingardium Leviosa!”

Jenny shot Christina a grateful look as she began to spread out the silverware. Jerking back as the German Shepard shot out in front of her, she was unable to prevent it from stealing a bottle of coke. The dog did not seem to be able to open the coke bottle and contented itself at snapping at Annabelle instead. Curious. Very curious. She couldn't recall seeing a dog behave so strangely before. Cautiously stretching out her arm to reclaim the coke she recoiled it in disgust when her fingers met the slimy surface. "Fine - keep the coke. I have plenty more," she said triumphantly to the dog. Then, she pulled out another bottle of coke and opened it. Tipping it into her cup she added, "And I can actually drink it," with an immature smirk.
Suddenly Annabelle pulled out her wand.... from her togs. Jenny tried not to look to surprised but really... who went swimming with their wand shoved down their swimsuit? Then again, just because Jenny didn't do it didn't mean that other people didn't. Maybe everyone did that and Jenny was just so out of the loop that she had know idea. She looked over the other girl - taking in her seemingly permanent bewildered expression and one-piece swimming suit, and decided that it was very doubtful that this girl was in the loop. She might possibly have been more out of the loop and than Jenny was herself. The German Shepard had now turned its attention to Christina's dog and began to play-fight with it. Satisfied that it was no longer causing any trouble, Jenny was about to resume the picnic when she heard Annabelle speak the hovering charm and the giant dog bone began to levitate. I highly doubt a dog that eats doughnuts and steals coke is going to be satisfied with a dog bone, she thought but kept it to herself, not wanting to make the other girl feel dumb. She contented herself with raising an eyebrow instead as she watched the scene unfold.

Christina was enjoying her mini sandwich it was just scrumptious when she noticed the German Shepard grab a bottle of coke. She never seen a dog go after a bottle of coke it was the most curious thing in the world. She sat their giggling watching as the German Shepard tried and tried to open up the coke can but failed miserably. All the German Shepard managed to do was cover the can in a bunch of slobber and puncture marks. "I guess the German Shepard prefers Coke over Diet Coke" she said laughing.
Then things turned even weirder as the dog started to nip at Annabelle. What bad luck this girls having she felt bad for her first she tripped in the Lake and now the German Shepard was nipping at her. She watched as Annabelle shrieked and mumbled something incoherantly out of her own pastry filled mouth. Poor girl she thought as suddenly the German Shepard decided it was time to nip at her. Christina shrieked and jumped up running away from the dog. The German Shepard didn't chase her and was now bothering her poor puggle Rex. "No leave him alone you big bully that is his bone." she said sternly as all of a sudden Annabelle had used the spell "Wingardium Leviosa" and the giant bone was floating in the air. "What's with this dog I mean really he's or she's just nothing but a big bully." she said questioningly.

If Amber was in her human form she would be laughing so hard right now. She was thoroughly entertained by the responses she received from the Hufflepuff girls. Amber did not understand, even a little bit, of what Annabelle had said to her having that pastry in her mouth. Amber had nearly told her to not speak with her mouth full before remembering she was a dog.
Christina’s reaction was quite entertaining, as the girl actually got up and ran away. As Amber was barking at the girl’s dog though, Amber noticed that the bone started to levitate. What the hell? Amber looked around and noticed Annabelle had taken out her wand. Amber’s ears went down and if she had eyebrows, one would be raised. She hoped her expression told ‘really?’.
"What's with this dog I mean really he or she's just nothing but a big bully,” Amber heard Christina say and looked over at the Hufflepuff girl. She walked over so she was in front of her and got up onto her hind legs. Amber put one of her paws onto the girls shoulder and then shook her head sadly as if saying, ‘you poor, deranged child.’ Amber then took her paw off the girl’s shoulder and fell back onto all fours. Hufflepuff’s really were gullible. Here she was just trying to be playful with them and they think she’s a man-eating monster.
Amber, out of boredom, walked back over to her bottle of coke. She stared at it in thought. Perhaps she should just grab it and leave? Maybe she should change back into a human, grab it and leave? Or maybe she should try and drink it in dog form, or change back into human form and drink it. Amber decided to attempt to open the bottle in her dog form using her canine teeth. However, it wasn’t working. Amber changed back into her human form and opened the bottle, not caring about the dog slobber considering it was her own. She drank the drink incredibly fast then changed back into her animagi form. She went over to the edge of the lake and lay down, basking in the sun.
