What would a reporter be doing looking for hire at a castle!? ”Say,” he took a few steps forward. ”Have you seen anything strange in the last couple of days?” Best keep it vague. Wouldn’t do any good to feed her the lines. That would ruin the authenticity.

Who was he? Sunny took no offense to the question. It was usually one of the firsts. ”I’m Sunny Raine!” he took the liberty of answering the second girl to draw near [Fireheart] and offered up his hand for a formal shake. ”Now, where were we? Ah, yes, weird occurrences… Have you seen anything off?” He looked around, assessing their whereabouts once more. ”And your names, please,” he added as an afterthought as he reached up to grab the quill from his hat and pulled out a notebook from his back pocket. He didn’t trust a quick quotes.

Kid didn't even like normal spiders. Staying away was easy.

Today, he was heading in the opposite direction and it took him to the gate and Isla and that Avalon girl.

And.

This guy.

"Nice to meet'cha, Sunny Raine." Kitt enthused as he came to a stop by the girls. If neither girls was running and screaming, he must have been alright. That was good enough for the 13 year old. Was he knew? What class would he be teaching because um y'know this Gryffindor's schedule was already full. And while the man probably hadn't been talking to him....."Kitt Lazarus. That's L-A-Z-A-R-U-S. Third Year, Gryffindor and boy have I got some occurrences for you. There's a ghost in the girl's loo!! Not that I'd know." Of course not. Ahem. "And ELVES, in the kitchen. Real elves!!! And mate, MATE, the ceiling in the Great Hall looks like outside!! Outside!"

Fascinating stuff in this castle.

Although she found it annoying, she knew it was what she needed to maintain good grades. She was most hardworking in previous years, but becoming a seventh year and being one step closer to leaving school must have decreased her academic motivation. She was determined to get rid of the planner as soon as she fully returned to her diligent state.

She was taking a walk in the grounds after a good long session of transfiguration practice. She was still going through some incantations in her head, when she noticed a group of young students with an unfamiliar adult. Ummm WHAT? It looked like he was interviewing them about strange occurrences. That was kinda fishy … because she hadn’t seen anything odd in the past few days. Unless he was asking about the things that Kitt Lazarus just described. Anyway, were random student interviews even allowed? Did no one care about child safeguarding at this school? Jina walked towards them, holding her wand in her cardigan pocket. She could transfigure the man into a ferret if he tried to do anything dangerous. “Sir, do you have permission to be on this side of the gates?” she asked.


It was somewhere in between the word 'Naaaah' and that little wave of his hand through the air when Isla became a little more suspicious. Thank Merlin there were others showing up, which meant she wouldn't die alone she was no longer alone out here. Then when he asked about anything strange happening around here, Isla's eyes grew a bit wide. She may have bullied out a piece of Starburst or something when she was a super little kid, but she wasn't falling for this one.

"Sunny Raine? What a contradicting name you have there," she pointed out. His parents sure did have a sense of humor. Had that been a little rude? If so, she hadn't meant it to be. "I mean, nice to meet you?" That had been better but had come out more of a question than anything. She watched with eyes still wide as quaffles and tried her best to shake her head at Avalon. Come on, Avalon. You're a Ravenclaw. Don't do it!

...and then Kitt suddenly came out of nowhere, opened his mouth, and every bit of Hufflepuff he must have had in him spilled out. "Kitt," she said, her voice in a half whisper, half hiss. She turned to face him, and the look she gave was one a kid's mom might give the kid when they are starting to act up in public. She was trying every facial expression she could to get him to stop. By the time she'd finished, he'd detailed at least everything the lower part of the castle had to offer.

"Look, we should go," she said, turning back to look at Sunny. And so should he. "Do you...need to speak to someone in charge or something?"
