What a Day!

[Hayden Riley Riddle]

It was the day after they all had been sorted, it was still a shock to the school that Hayden was in Ravenclaw, and he was the first Riddle to be placed in something other then slytherin, so everyone was happy, and some what weird for him being the first one. It had taken the sorting hat awhile to pronounce him into Ravenclaw, or well it seemed like a while to him.

Hayden wanted to be outside on the beautiful afternoon, the classes were going to start up in the next few says, but wasn't exactly sure when they would he was most excited for them to start, he wanted to learn all there was to know. He was going to get a head start on learning. He had grabbed his spells book on the way out of the common rooms. He didn't think it was weird, but some of the people that didn't know him looked at him like he was weird.

Hayden was in his school uniform, but the tie was loosened and he didn't have the robes on, he liked his uniform, he thought he looked pretty dashing in it. He didn't really want to see his family, he had sent them all an owl informing them that he had made it into Ravenclaw, and they had all sent a letter back congratulating him. He would send them a letter when classes were going so that he could tell them he loved his classes or not, and if he liked the professors.

Hayden had reached the lawn, and picked a bench that was in the shade, he wasn't expecting anyone so he opened up his book and flipped through the pages, not really trying any of them, he just wanted to look through the pages get a feel for the book and try ones that looked interesting, and easy, he didn't want anyone to get hurt or injured.

[Alice Potter]

Alice was hidden beneath the invisibility cloak she had inheritted from her father. She was sure that he wouldn't have given it to her except that he knew all to well that she would be pulling pranks on people and wanted her to have away to get away from her victims safely. As much as he did not approve of her actions he would rather not have her getting cursed.

She was out on the lawns sneaking around putting remote detonated dung bombs in the bags of slytherins when they weren't paying enough attention. She had even managed to slip one int o the pocket of a slytherin prefect. She had just taken out the detonater when she noticed Hayden coming down the lawns. She decided that she wouls wait a minute so that her friend could appreciate the prank with her.

She followed him quietly to the bench. She let him sit ,and get comfortable before she snuck up behind him. She yanked the cloak off while simultaneously saying. "Hey Hayden." She knelt down behind the bench crossing her arms across the top of it and resting her chin on her arms. "Studying already? Well I guess I know who I'm coming to when I have trouble with my homework."

She pulled out the detonater and waved it in front of him. "You'll never guess what I've been up to." As she spoke a mischevous grin spread across her face. She quickly pointed to the eight unsuspecting victims without a single word. Keep an eye on them. She pressed the button and immediatly the bombs went off giving off a great green cloud of putrid smelling smoke. She quickly counted the people and then her eyes grew wide.

"Only eight, but thier are ten to a detenator..." She grabbed her bag and saw the hole in the bottom. Her eyes grew even wider. "Where could the other two be. They were in my bag when I left the dorm and I only stopped by the headmistress's office to explain about being late for sorting... Uh oh." Sure enough when she looked up to the school the same green smoke came out of a window on the second floor.

[Hayden Riley Riddle]

Hayden almost jumped out of his seat, he wasn't expecting anyone to come up to him. "Yes Alice, i am getting a head start, i already knew that you were going to come to me for help on your homework." He said with a smile on his face, "Sit please" he said glad to see someone outside on a day like this, but some how he didn't think this was going to end well.

Hayden seen the detonator, and shook his head. "Oh no, please tell me you didn't" He said then followed the green smoke that came from eight different people. "You are going to get in trouble if they knew it was you." He said shaking his head. "Let me guess you used an invisibility cloak to get around out here with out them knowing." She didn't have to say anything he knew that she did, it was a gift and a curse, his powers.

Hayden looked quickly to the headmistress's office, "You gonna get it" he said teasingly. He couldn't help but laugh her for leaving them in Kara's office. "She might just think my dad did it, they used to have prank wars" Hayden said with a smile on his face. "She doesn't think its you, she is blaming my dad for it" He could hear her thoughts, he had been around her for a while he could pick them up.

"But i would suggest not doing that one again, or she might just figure out it was you" he said looking at her "I wont tell her, but she is good at figuring stuff like that out." He looked back to his book and placed his pointer finger in where he was, so that he could talk and not lose his place. he wouldn't say a word that he knew it was Alice who pulled that one off, and from what he could hear, they all thought it was an older gryffindor, rather then a first year.

[Alice Potter]

Alice smirked at Haydens reaction as she hopped over the bench sitting next to him. She liked how he already knew how she had pulled off her prank before she even said anythying. She understood that most people would find this intrusion into the mind annoying, but she enjoyed it. It made it easier for her to tell secrets without being over heard. She also liked that he could tell if her victims had figured out that it was her.

She leaned up against him resting her head on his shoulder. She was getting to be all to comfortable with him already. She closed her eyes as she was on the verge of falling asleep. She had been up pretty late working on her pranks. As she thought about why she had been up so late she thought to Hayden hoping he was listening 'Don't eat the chicken at dinner unless you want to turn into a giant chicken.'

She realised that she should probably find Miranda before dinner and warn her as well. She listened as she was warned of her pranks and of getting caught. "Don't worry I only have a few dung bombs left as it is. I have a large variety of pranks to chose from thanks to my cousins joke shop." She found that she was very at ease with this boy when most boys annoyed her. Surely Hayden was not like other boys. This was a boy that she actually really liked.

As she thought about this she began to panic a little bit inwardly knowing that he could probably hear what she was thinking. What if he didn't like her like that could she scare him off with her affections? She was growing to be very afraid as she glanced to his face that was so close to her. Then to his lips that she wanted pressed against hers. She quickly pulled her head up from his shoulder looking at him still. 'Please kiss me Hayden.' she thought.

[Hayden Riley Riddle]

Hayden heard what Alice was thinking. "Please tell me you didn't" he said but shook his head because he knew that she did. Chicken of all things the one thing Hayden liked, and it had to be chicken, and if he ate it he would turn into a giant chicken. He didn't really like the idea of the chicken, but he wanted to see it anyways.

"You should probably worry about getting some sleep, and a little less of pranks, or im going to end up doing all of your work and im not going to do that" he said seeing how tired she looked, and he could feel it coming off of her in waves, and it was hitting him, and making him sleepy, and yet he was wide awake, thats what he got for being an empath, some days like today he hated it, other days it had its advantages.

The main thing he was worried about was that he could be able to pick the answers for test out of peoples heads if he tried, other times he could just hear them with out wanting to. Hayden heard alice's thought, but he was a little nervous to act on it. Yes, he liked her but he wasn't sure if he liked her like that. How could he have missed that, he wasn't used to girls liking him, he wasn't even used to his powers, so it was confusing to him at times.

"Alice i like you but im not sure if i like you like that" He said a little bit nervously. He didn't want her to him. He wasn't looking for that even, but he wasn't going to inform her of that at the moment, school hadn't even started, and he didn't know anything about dating, or relationships. He hoped she understood because he just wasn't sure at the moment, and didn't know when he would be sure.
