Niamh grinned and nodded before colouring a bit, herself, at Avery's compliment back, "Er, t-thanks," ever the awkward Ravenclaw.

Niamh continued rambling as she climbed down, "I'm not close to any of my dormmates at all. It must be nice to have a friend in your room, though. I'm always afraid they all hate me because I'm so terrible at keeping my things put away. Books and socks and things everywhere," she blushed but barely paused, "Library's good sometimes, but it can get crowded too. I wonder if there's a good place on the Quidditch pitch for hiding? Like under the stands somewhere or something. I bet if someone crawled in under there no one could find you unless you wanted 'em to!" She just kept at trying to convince Avery. After all, she really did think everyone ought to have a secret place to go and be alone every now and again.

Niamh wrinkled her nose, "I think we should. There'll always be time to go climbing, but it won't be any fun if you're sick in the hospital wing 'cause of me!" She climbed down to the last branch before shimming down the trunk a few feet and then jumping lightly to the ground beside Avery.

((OOC: XD No, but I wanted to give you one last tag before I went last night. :( I've been neglecting Niamh's thread way too much lately, thanks to Phil going mad on me. *shifty eyes*))

Avery didn't answer Niamh as she muttered her 'Thanks', but merely nodded.

"The Quidditch pitch. That's a very good idea, actually. We shall go look around the place one day, shan't we?" she asked, smiling. She had been around the pitch a few times, being an avid flyer herself, but she had not looked around the stands much, possibly because she hadn't thought they were of much use unless you were watching a Quidditch game.

She smiled at the younger girl and reached over to ruffle her hair again as she jumped down next to her. "Alright, then, if you say so. But we'll find another time to climb trees again, okay? I'll even consider joining you, but only hte lower branches, when I'm feeling better."

((OOC: I figured. Lol. Poor Niamh, being neglected for the likes of Phil. Pbfft))

[niamh_gannon]

Niamh grinned, "Okay! I'd love to go with you. The pitch is so interesting. I bet there's all kinds of lovely hiding places there."

Niamh's nose wrinkled as she laughed, delighted at the way Avery ruffled her hair. "Okay! I'd like that a lot," she grinned up at the older girl, "And I hope you feel better soon, too."

((OOC: I know, right? Sodding prat! *shakes fist at him* XD))

[averykellaway]

"Great! That's settled then." Avery grinned at her happily, trying to ignore the fact that her nose was protesting them being out here for much longer than it could take.

She put an arm lightly on Niamh's shoulders and guided her towards the entrance to the castle. Many other students were still walking around, enjoying the sun and the breeze, but it was getting rather cold for her. "Let's get back in there, shall we?"

((OOC: Wanna wrap up soon? XD))

[niamh_gannon]

Niamh smiled, nodding to Avery. She felt much better than she had in days, and it was all thanks to her Gryffindor friend. She slung her bag onto her shoulder and grinned up at her friend.

She followed Avery's guidance contently toward the door, already planning the next time she might find a reason to come and climb in the courtyard again. Niamh nodded, "Okay, let's go!" she moved a bit faster, eager to get Avery inside, worrying that the older girl might get sick if they didn't hurry.

((OOC: I think we've no choice. XD We can end it here, or you can do another tag if you'd like. Either works for me.))

[averykellaway]

They moved back into the castle pretty quickly, where Avery heaved a sigh of relief at the warmth it provided. She really had to do something about her impending cold.

She gave Niamh's shoulders another light squeeze before releasing her, rubbing her nose gently. "It's been great hanging out with you today, Niamh. I'm afraid I've to go though, but I can walk you back to your tower if you want to. I've nothing on today, anyway," she offered, smiling warmly at the younger girl. It was about time for her to get started on her Transfig essay, anyway.

((OOC: Somehow I think she needs to bring Niamh back safely first ;) You can finish it up now, yeah? *hugs Laura*))

[niamh_gannon]

Niamh gave the older girl a smile, "It's always nice to spend time with you, Avery. You're fun. If you wouldn't mind," she looked down shyly, just slightly embarrassed, "I'd like the company. Er." She didn't really want to admit it was because she was afraid, so she just blushed and left it at that.

She fell into step beside the older girl, walking along the corridors. She frowned, glancing up at Avery. She was sure that the older girl might have caught a chill and she would feel awful if it were because of her.

As they arrived outside the entrance to Ravenclaw Tower, Niamh smiled, "Thanks, Avery. For everything!" Impuslively, she wrapped her arms around the older girl for a quick hug before letting go and looking down awkwardly. "Er, and I hope you don't get sick 'cause of me."

((OOC: HA! I'm an idiot. That makes a lot more sense. *facedesk* Ignore my previous OOC comment, kthnx. Stupid Phil and his distracting me from Niamh's threads. GAH. So you can go again if you want, seeing as my head's not on right. *facedesks again*))

[averykellaway]

Avery returned Niamh's smile and nodded at her. "Not at all, why would I mind spending some time with you, when you're so cute and sweet. And brilliant, in your own word," she said, winking at the younger girl.

As they reached the Ravenclaw Tower, she stopped to let Niamh hug her, and patted her on the back. "No, don't go blaming yourself for it, you hear me. And remember what I said about not thinking too much, it won't do you much good," she reminded the little girl and gave her a small wave. "I should be off, then. See you around!"

She watched until Niamh had gone up the staircase before turning around and making her way back to the Gryffindor Tower.

((OOC: Avery, out! NO! Don't facedesk! Poor Laura's face *weeps*))
