() "I enjoy going to the owlery and see my owls, go to the Herbology greenhouses, or dance around the common room!" Gaia said laughing "How about you?"

Sauvage sighed contentedly just thinking about her de-stressing methods. "Actually," she said. "I like to listen to French muggle music and soak in the bath - doctored with natural oils and herbs from the garden to relax my body and refresh my mind." She smiled, already smelling the French lavender and honeysuckle would permeate the air. "Oh, and sometimes I like to paint to take my mind off things, although I'm not very good at it. What about you?"

"Ooh, I don't know any French music, muggle or otherwise, but that bath sounds nice! I like to take my owl Umbra hunting. We're not allowed in the forest, but I like to walk along here at the edge, while she catches mice and voles." Sam answered.

"You should come stay at my place during summer break! Umbra can have fun with my other owls and we can go spend time in the forest. There are plenty of snakes too!" Gaia beamed at her friend.

() OOC: I can't blame you! Enjoy your time! I prefer Minecraft myself!

"I've never taken my owl out hunting. She normally just sits in our garden and captures the critters the come scurrying in." Sauvage asked, "is it fun to go hunting with the owls?"

() "Oh yeah! Dad and I breed and train owls. It is a lot of fun to watch owls do their thing. I mean that is until they bring a frog still alive. I really dislike that! Do you have a favorite Magical Creature?"

"I'd have to check with my folks, but that sure sounds like fun. I'm pretty sure my ma'll wanna talk to your folks first too. She worries about me, mostly 'cause I tend to get into trouble..., a lot.
Dragons! Definitely my favourite creature. Someday I'm gonna be a dragonologist. Either that or a famous quidditch player..., maybe both!"

() "Of course! I will send an owl first thing to my dad. We have a big house in the edge of the Irish forest. I am thinking of inviting some students over so we can spend time in the forest with the creatures there and for everyone to meet the owls!"

(OOC Right now I'm watching a pair of ravens hunting ground squirrels outside my office window. They dive into the snow and wham! Up they come with a little stripy rodent in their beak... pretty awesome, and distracting, to watch!) "I know your owl Unicorn likes Umbra, but do y'think she'd be OK around your other owls?"

"Well, I love to fly on winged horses. I used to attend Beauxbatons; there, we generally used Abraxan winged horses for transportation rather than a broom. But they are so much more that transportation, of course!" Sauvage stammered, trying not to offend the majestic creatures. "As a Beauxbatons student one is expected to be equipped with the general knowledge to care for and tame a winged horse. I've never had one personally, but I always dreamed of having my own Granian."

"I like to eat Chocoballs, put on pajamas and lounge with my bunny, or go for a swim in the Prefects' Bathroom. Nothing too taxing, you know?"

(ooc - I just selected random people from the student roster) "What are you career and other goals for the future?"

Megan smiled at Sam and thought before answering. "Honestly, I'm not sure what I do. I spend so much of my time studying or training myself to be better that I don't actually take much downtime. This is the best downtime I've had this term. When I'm holiday though, I'll read or go exploring for plants I haven't found yet. Plants calm me, being connected to the life of nature calms me and it helps keep my head at ease."

(OOC - Good question. My character is a bit of an over-achiever, mainly because she feels she has to be in order to make her family and herself proud. :x )

OOC: . I would love to be friends with (it's hard to choose) Dobby, the house elf. Because though he can be strange, he's loyal and always comes through for his friends!

OOC question: What Harry Potter food, drink or candy do you wish was real/would love to try?

occ answer:@ hunger Chocolate frogs because I love chocolate.

"After a tough day of class I really love to just curl up with a favorite novel, along with some good music on my muggle devices, and a nice hot cup of herbal tea. Perfect way to unwind in my opinion."

OOC: Right now I'd have to say my top favorite actors would be Benedict Cumberbatch because he is so brilliant in the BBC version of Sherlock; also, Tatiana Maslany, because anyone who can 4+ different characters in a single episode of a tv series convincingly has serious talent; then also Matt Damon because he's so darn handsome and charming.

Lupin was definitely one of my all-time favorite Harry Potter characters. I also really loved Sirius Black! He was such an awesome god-father to Harry!

occ answer: I would say ice mice but I actually have had the ones that they brought out! They were quite delicious. So I think I would have to say butterbeer :D sounds so good x.x

() "Oh yeah! We train our owls to respect other creatures unless threatened. Umbra is a sweet owl and she has been around all my owls here."

() "Oh, winged horses are majestic creatures! I think they are an amazing way to travel but I do love my broom!"

Fade pondered the question for a while before coming up with an answer. "I think I would like to work with animals, but I'm not so sure my parents would be happy with this decision." He grinned and his cheeks became slightly red. "Other than that I really want to visit Japan. What about you? Do you have any career plans?"

"I adore animals." Millie smiled. "But I wouldn't want to see them sick and hurt. I would love to visit Japan. I personally would like to work in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. I'm not exactly sure what though. Maybe a translator because I'm fluent in French, German, and Latin. I also want to travel. I'd love to see New Zealand."
