"We-weh-well done." Raivis said, a momentary smile on his face. "You're t-t-talented. And... P-P-Peter, I think yo-you need to study a little bit more."
He opened the book he was carrying with him, his small study book for Ancient Runes. "I h-h-have to learn some of these for to-tomorrow morning." He stroked his fingers down the page. "I've s-s-studied day and night to learn them... an-and their c-c-c-correct pronunciation."

Peter pouted as Raivis informed him that apparently actually had to study to become a good wizard, but he soon forgot whatever Raivis had said as he looked over at the book thing that his Hufflepuff friend had and shuddered. "Dude, you have to learn them all?!" he asked in disbelief. He glanced over the long complicated names and pictures before shaking his head. "That sucks."

"W-w-w-well, it has to be done." Raivis smiled weakly. "I have t-t-t-to suh-study extra hard 'cos I c-c-can't really understand... P-p-p-professor Scotaidh..."

Valerie nodded absently at Raivis's remark. "I imagine it would be easier to simply read the book then listen to him lecture. I mean, I have problems with Astronomy, just because of how long you have to stay up for it. I keep falling asleep." She blushed at that admission, not liking that she was barely passing a class because she like to turn in early when she could.
Valerie shifted, her eyes slipping briefly out of focus before snapping back. "Don't worry too much, Raivis; he'll understand about any stuttering, and you'll get the rest of the pronounciations right."

Peter nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah Uncle Kilt-Crossdresser is hard to understand sometimes, it's even worse when he's drunk." Peter planted himself on the ground with his legs crossed. He looked out at the lake and watched as several students ran around playing some sort of game...or maybe they were just chasing each other around. He looked over at his two friends, "Man, wouldn't it be cool if we had some place to hang out without people around."

Valerie nodded. "We're bound to find a place eventually. We have three years before Raivis graduates."

Raivis' eyes curved into the same smile that was on his lips. "Maybe... m-m-maybe... I'd like that a lot." He decided to shift down on the cool grass, violet eyes scanning around the area. "I w-w-w-wish you guys could come to Hogsmeade with me some time..."

Peter nodded as he splayed down on the grass, and he looked up towards the sky. "It's nice out here, but when it starts getting colder and snowy-er, it'll suck." Peter shivered at the thought of the cold, if there was one thing he didn't like, it was certainly snow. Peter rolled over at Raivis' statement so that he was on his stomach. "Even if we can't go to Hogsmeade, you'll still bring us awesome stuff back, right Raivis?"
Peter rolled over once more and sat up, before something caught his eye. A rather large tree in the distance made him do a double-take. Oh this could be fun. "Hey Val~ I bet I can climb that tree faster than you can."

"All you need to go on Hogsmeade weekends is permission from parents or guardians. I'll be going to them." Valerie shrugged. "And we'll prob'ly bring back a bucket of candy for you."
At the mention of trees, Valerie shifted her focus. "I've been climbing trees my whole life, Peter." She stood up and brushed off the knees of her pants. "You'd have to get to that tree at least three minute before me to stand a chance." She flashed a grin and started running.

Peter stood up and yelled "Hey! No Fair!" as he took off in a sprint towards the tree. His feet carried him towards the tree, and as he grabbed the tree trunk, he had trouble getting a good grip around the abnormally thick tree. Upon finding a place to put his feet, he vaulted himself up about five feet. He felt proud enough of himself to glance a look at how Valerie was doing.

She had jumped under the lowest branch while heading towards the trunk. Normally even with all the speed behind her she would have missed, but thanks to the ribbon Professor Williams had charmed, she had managed to hang from it, plant her feet on the trunk and lever herself up by the time Peter jumped.
She was even with him, on better footing, and hadn't bother to glance down. She'd be pulling herself onto the next branch before Peter realized that she wasn't below him, her ribbon would be stretching from her wrist to the next before she would be fully on it, and so on.
A wild grin was plastered on the young Vermonter's face.

Peter's face changed when he realized that Valerie wasn't under him, but rather above. "Hey!" he shouted as Valerie made it to the next branch. But his moment of carelessness had him slipping and he shakely placed himself on the nearest branch. With a deep breath he nervously jumped to reach the one directly above himself. Okay so maybe climbing wasn't for him.

Raivis looked up at his two friends climbing a tree, and wished he had the courage to do so as well. Their antics were amusing, yet frightening to watch at the same time.
"Ah! Careful!" He cried out every time they tried to move onto another branch, and started to bite his lip. He would never dare climb up a tree...

Valerie laughed at Peter's worry. "Only one you have to worry about is jumping bean, there. I've been climbing since I could walk!" She was quickly getting higher and higher into the tree. "Why don't you join us, Raivis?"

The little Latvian boy shook his head vehemently. "N-n-n-no, my b-balance isn't very good... I'll be f-f-fine watching..." He took a step forward, calling up to them. "I'll just h-huh-hurt myself!"

Peter shrugged, "Suit yourself. You can tell us who won!" He said this as he jumped from his current branch to the other. He lifted himself onto it and shook it off. Okay, two down, just a few more to go...

Valerie kept climbing steadily, a confident and assured smile plastered on her face. She knew what she was doing. She had climbed tougher things than trees. And then she came to a stretch of trunk that was too limbless for even one of Peter's jumps, a good three meters of blank space.
"Peter, I think this is as high as we can go until we're taller!"

Raivis looked as if he were about to faint right now. They were just so high up in the tree (to him, anyway, even if they could have gone a lot higher), and if they went any higher, and fell down... well... he didn't want to think.
"C-C-C-COME D-D-D-DOWN!" He cried out, "Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU'LL HURT YOURSELVES!!!"

Peter looked down at his panicked friend and scowled at how far Valerie had gotten before him. Carefully, very very carefully he started lowering himself on the branch underneath him. "We'll be down in a minute, Raivis!" He planted his feet on the branch and had a slight heart attack when his foot nearly slipped, but thankfully quick reflexes saved a disasterous fall.
With that, Peter concluded: Peter + Tree = Sad times.

Valerie sighed. "But I like it up here!" She tilted her head back, looking up at the higher tree branches. She glanced down at the two boys, then easily and confidently headed down the tree. "This kinda sucks. I liked it up there~"
She made it down the tree faster then she climbed up, landing on the ground almost the moment Petter moved away.
"Rai~vis~ Promise to bring me back a butterbeer from Hogsmeade and I won't sulk for a week~"
