Viper's Pool Party

"Ana, youre here!" Rachyy called excitedly. Addehkai quickly slithered to Ana to greet her as Rachyy limped slightly to her.

"Why're you limping?" Ana asked.

Darien resurfaced and pulled himself out of the pool.

((i gotta go ill be back on later))
"I tripped in the Headmistresses office earlier. Then from walking around on my ankle to much I developed a second degree sprain. Nothing serious, the nurse assured me of that." Rachyy explained to Ana. Addehkai slithered to Rachyys ankle and gave her support to lessen the pain.

((ok, see ya))
Ana grinned. "You sound like you're experienced with injuries."

Diana walked in with a few of her Gryffindor mates at her side. They most of them were wearing red swim suits.

"You know," Helena said with a side glance. "When I bought my suit, I thought I'd be the only one wearing red."

Diana laughed but then a certain Slytherin caught her eye.

Darien glanced across at the doorway, and noticed Diana. He stood up on the edge of the pool and threw himself back into the water, plunging right to the bottom of the pool, surfacing near Diana and her friend.
He grinned, and dived below the water again.

((Duo diving boards))

The twins counted eachother off, syncronized diving was there best sport, for obvious reasons, they always nailed it.

" 3, 2, 1..Go"

They flipped and twirled into the water in perfect sync.

"Ugh!" Darien's little stunt splashed a great deal of water at the Gryffindors.

"That stupid Slytherin!" One of them said.

"You right!" Diana said seeing an opportunity. "I should go talk to him!"

She splashed down right after him.

"Darien." She said smiling.

"Hey there." He grinned, then turned it to a smirk. "Are you meant to be yelling at me?"

"Yes, so I'm going to wave my hands around." And she did. "So that they don't suspect anything."

"Okay..."
Darien noticed Viper and Delanquar out of the corner of his eye.
"Oh merlin...Look who else is here." he jerked his head in their direction.

Diana blinked and chuckled. "Whoa, one of the things you wouldn't think you'd see are your teachers in swimsuits."

Darien laughed, then flopped backwards effortlessly, falling backwards through the water, hitting the bottom of the pool and springing back up again, droplets falling from his hair.

"Do you want to go somewhere else?" Diana whispered in his ear. There were a lot of people and one of them might get suspicious.

Darien grinned. "Won't your friend get a bit suspisious?"

"Maybe," Diana swam around him. "But I mean, that's just part of the fun isn't it? Besides, I don't like how the other girls are looking at you."

Viper raised an eyebrow at the the two lovebirds. "Hey!" she called out. "I don't let people snog in my classsroom and I definately dont let them snog in my conjured pool! Please, Ms.Cassila's, Mr.Vaight take that soemwhere else! Try Professor Delanquar's classroom if you must, for a change of scenery." she smirked at the older Professor.

The Twins surfaced in time to hear Porfessor Viper yell at Darien for kissing a Gryffindor girl.

and the started laughing there heads off.

"Hilarious, who would have thought Darien would fall for a Gryffindor" said Aiden. As he slashed back in to the water.

"Maybe these house rivilaries"

"arn't all there cracked up to be"

Eglantine rolled her eyes. But she lowered the book, nonetheless, to peer over at Mr. Vaight and Miss Casillas.
"Are you planning on swimming?" she asked, not taking her eyes from the pool.

Viper nodded. "Of course. Aren't you?" she asked, slightly puzzled by the fact that one would come to a pool party and not do any swimming themselves.

She scowled as a thought hit her. "I'm not going in there to seperate those too! It's your turn to break apart the snogging students!"

Eglantine sighed. "Cat animagus..." she stated, as if that reasoned everything. She had always been terrified of water, even before she had become an animagi. But Eglantine was not about to tell Viper that.
"And I do not see them "snogging" anyway." Another page was flipped and she moved her eyes to join the printed words.

Viper rolled her eyes. "So much for the Gryffindor vs. Slytherine game..." she sighed. "Guess it's just me and my serpents then." she said as she stood and adjusted her swimsuit, casting the appropriate charms to ensure that it wouldn't fly off when she dove in.

Kiara looked around and mumbed "A hot tube would be better"

Then a moment later a hot tube appeared. Kiara smiled

"I love this room" she said as she test the hot water of the tube and, went in.

Eglantine levitated moved her chair further back to avoid being splashed. It was amusing to watch the students play around in the water. Age seemed to have been left behind with their clothes...in their swimwear, even the seventh years were acting like children.
Setting aside Othello, Eglantine sighed. Edwin might like the water, she thought. Tibby was watching him up in the rooms, but with a simple command she would bring him down.
Having nothing better to do, Eglantine called the house-elf.
A few minutes later, Tibby lugged a happy Edwin into the room. After taking her son from the house-elf, Eglantine transfigured his play outfit into a pair of swim trucks with roaring lions.
Casting a water proof charm on her clothes and hair, Eglantine led him over to the shallow end of the pool. There were fewer students there than in the deep end. Lowering Edwin into the water and holding him by the waist, she laughed softly as the child shrieked with joy and splashed his arms into the water.
"Big tub, Mama!" he exclaimed. Maybe the pool was a good idea, Eglantine thought

((ooh, I love Othello! It's one of my favorite Shakespeare plays ever!))

Viper stood at the edge of the pool hesitantly, sticking her toe in to test the water. She contemplated whethere or not to take the plunge when a group of 7th year Slytherins took the decision out of her hands by tackling her into it.

She came up shortly and glared at the the group. However, the cadence of laughter that escaped her tarnished it as she pulled them down under. From the corner of her eye she caught Eglantine playing with Edwin in the water and smiled. She knew the pool was a good idea.
