Hunter was sitting by the water and he could hear everyone at the Carnival. All his friends were telling him to come out and enjoy the night, but he knew that he had to make an appearance as he was one of the most popualar guys no matter how he was feeling at the time.
He got up off the ground and batted himself off as he started to make his way towards Hogsmeade. Once there it was amazing, the sky was lit up with muggle lights, muggle rides, muggle food, and it was quite exciting looking. He thought he would wonder around for a bit and see if he could catch up with his friends along the way.
He came across what appeared to him to be some games which looked weird to him. He walked closer and there were stuffed animals hanging everywhere and there were a bunch of balloons hanging up all over behind the man standing in the booth. He stood there looking at this muggle game, and then shook his head in wonder what goes through the muggles mind to make games like these..but he thought he would give it a try.

Alexis had been wandering around the carnival for awhile now; she had even played a few balloon popping games, which were very addicting, and had been on the roller coaster like three times. She decided to wander off towards the games area once more to see what else she could find. She also wondered if she would run into Hunter sometime soon. She left the ride area and made her way back to the games.
As she approached the games, she saw a familiar face and as she got closer, she realized it was Hunter. Smiling slightly, she snuck up behind him and wrapped her arms around him gently.
"Hey you! I am so glad you came here," she replied beaming with her usual bright smile.

Hunter didn't know if he should give this a try, as he wasn't quite sure what it was or how it worked. He decided to ask the man behind the game for the instructions on how to play it. He out his money back into his pocket and walked up to him. "Excuse me sir..how is this game played?", he asked him with a confused look on his face.
He was about to recive an answer from the man, when he had felt a jerk and someones arms around his waist holding him for a brief moment. He turned slightly to the left and seen a familiar face peek out at him. " Hey you! I am so glad you came here," she said to him with a huge smile.
He really liked Alexis and was really surprised that she came up too him like that, but if Snape ever saw that he would probably kick Hunters ass all the way back to Hogwarts. He quickly turned around and grabbed her by the arms and down to her hands, "Alexis...hey how long have you been here?" he asked her with a charming smile.
Hunter then turned around slightly and glanced at the game behind him, and then turned back to Alexis. "Hey..have you ever played this game before?" he asked her with hesitation, as it might sound like a stupid question. He had never been to one of these things before and it was all quite new to him. Being the pure blood he was, his family would have never participated in any kind of muggle invented events...but Hunter was fairly easy going.

Smiling, Alexis took a hold of Hunter's hands when he grabbed hers. She had really liked him as well and knew that if her father saw the two of them right now; he would probably really get mad and make Hunter serve detention for the rest of term. Her father was very protective and she knew that he was just looking out for her, but she sometimes just wished he would let her have some fun without getting mad every time. This was why Alexis had decided that if anything happened; meaning if she gained a boyfriend tonight, that she would keep it secret from her father as much as she could.
"Alexis...hey how long have you been here?" he asked her with a charming smile.
"I haven't been here long. I got to the carnival about an hour ago and I have not been standing behind you very long either," she replied as she looked at the game Hunter was asking about. "Hey..have you ever played this game before?" he asked her with hesitation, as it might sound like a stupid question.
She looked at it and it was one of those balloon games that you had to try and pop 3 or more balloons with darts in order to win a prize. The darts were usually dull and bent a little bit to make it a bit more challenging to pop the balloons, but she knew Hunter could probably accomplish the task. "Well, you have to try and pop the balloons. The more money you spend to pop the more balloons, the bigger the prize," she explained to the best of her abilities, "I have seen this game once or twice before."

Hunter listened as Alexis told him the instructions on how to play that game. " The more money you spend to pop more balloons, the bigger the prize," she explained to the best of her abilities, "I have seen this game once or twice before." , she added.
"Really...that's it?", he said to her not believing it would be that easy. "Well lets go over there and see what I can win for you" he said to her with a huge smile and then took her hand and brought her over with him. Looking constantly from right to left to make sure Snape wasn't peering around a corner at them, he handed the man some money to throw these darts at the balloon's.
Hunter looked at Alexis and handed her one of the darts,"Let's play this round together" he said as he backed up and fired the dart at the balloons and popped a blue one on his first try. He then turned to Alexis with a smile, "Your turn" he said as he walked behind her and tapped her on the bum, and stood on the other side of her and smiled.

Alexis smiled as she and Hunter made their way to the counter to play the game. He was so sweet and was hoping that if her father did make an appearance at the carnival that he would not give Hunter a bad time or run him away from her. She definitely liked Hunter, more so than friend status but she did not want to bring anything up just yet for she was not sure how he felt about her.
Taking the dart in her hand, she nodded as she agreed they would play the round together. "Okie dokie," she replied as she watched Hunter pop the balloon on his first try.
"Your turn" he said as he walked behind her and tapped her on the bum, and stood on the other side of her and smiled.
Smiling, she stood back, and launche the dart. It flew right towards a bright yellow balloon and just as Alexis thought she was going to miss it; it popped. She looked at Hunter with a competitive-type look on her face, "And that's how it's done." She laughed.

Hunter loved Alexis's enthusiasum and confidence as it made it really fun to be around her. Hunter thought that she was so cool, and was really realizing he was falling for her and fast. He watched her as she threw the dart and was a master at it, and she was putting him to shame.
"Nice hit Alexis" he said to her with a huge smile. "And what does the lady win sir?" he asked the vendor. The man raised his arms and pointed to a bunch of colourful stuffed bears and creatures of some kind, then told her to pick one.
Hunter looked around to make sure that the area was a no Snape zone, then once the coast was clear he threw his arm around Alexis andd started walking with her. Hunter noticed that there was a really curious looking castle the had a banner on it that read "The Haunted House".
While really quite intrequed by this place, Hunter looked at Alexis with excitement all over his face. He pulled her closer in his arms, "Ok...we are going in there!!" he said to her as he started to pull her towards the haunted mansion.

Okay, well perhaps Severus should not be spying on his daughter. But was it really spying when a father was just looking out for his daughters welfare? Especially when the situation involved a boy? Severus' lip curled at that thought... the boy. A tiny little specimen.. Severus could take care of him quite easily. A little drop of a simple potion in the boys drink... It could all be too easy. No one would suspect him. No one but Alexis. That was a problem.
He was not even going to come to the carnival. It was the constant chattering everywhere he looked both from staff and students that finally made him decide to take a look. Severus simply got tired of hearing about it. He had made his way down to Hogsmeade after a silent battle with himself and then began to move among the others. The adults that saw him offered respectful nods or short words which he returned. The students who spotted him made an immediate cease to whatever trouble they were up to. But it was his daughter and that...boy he was looking for.

Hunter constantly looked behind him to sopt any trace of Alexis's father Professor Snape. He knew that Snape would have a problem with him if he knew about him seeing his daughter, but he really didn't care and he would handle him when it came to that point.
He guided Alexis into the haunted house until the vendor stopped him and told him that he must pay for entering the attraction. Hunter pulled out just enough money to go in and handed it over to the vendor, and the two of them entered the house while hunter still glanced behind his shoulder to see if he could see Snape anywhere.
The coast was clear so he thought, and they entered the house and came to a long hallway that was filled with different types of mirror's. Small ones, big ones, wobbly looking ones that made you look fat and a bunch of other's. Hunter was trying to cover up his nervousness about Snape possibly catching them together, but carnival's weren't exactly Snapes number one places to be, so Hunter calmed with a sigh.
"Hey Alexis...check this one out" he said to her as he showed her this certain type of mirror. He looked at her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm having alot of fun with you Alexis..." he said to her with a smile. "But I am a bit affraid of your dad though..." he said to her as he tucked her more into his arms and started walking further into the hosue.

"Nice hit Alexis" he said to her with a huge smile. "And what does the lady win sir?" he asked the vendor.
As Alexis looked at all the assortment of creatures that the man pointed to, she could not decided just which one she wanted. After a few moments she decided to choose the wolf, since she loved wolves and that was her patronus after all. As they left the game area, Hunter swung his arm around her and made her smile. There was definitely something about the boy that she was falling for and she liked it.
As they walked, Alexis, too, noticed the haunted house. "Ok...we are going in there!!" he said to her as he started to pull her towards the haunted mansion.
"Alright, alright...don't get your panties in a knot," she replied laughing a bit, "Let's go. And try not to get scared alright." She loved to pick fun at Hunter, but it was all in good fun. She was never mean to him at all.
As Hunter paid for the two of them to enter the haunted house, Alexis could see that he was constantly looking over his shoulder. She knew why too, for often enough she was also looking to make sure her father was not around, but she was not so paranoid as Hunter was.
As they made their way into the room full of all shapes and sizes of mirrors, Alexis couldn't help but laugh at the one that made them look short and fat. Then Hunter pulled her attention over to another mirror as he kissed her on the cheek.
"I'm having alot of fun with you Alexis..." he said to her with a smile. "But I am a bit affraid of your dad though..."
Alexis nodded as his nervousness but took his hands in hers as they paused in the mirror room for a bit, "Would you relax? It is fine...believe me..if my father does see us here, I will take care of it. He may be protective of me, but I can make him understand who I want to be with...especially if it comes to a boyfriend," she said hoping to reassure Hunter with also the thought in her mind as to hopes that she could convince her father that Hunter was a great guy. "Besides, I don't think my father would come here anyway. I mean, full of students; that is the sort of thing he avoids unless he is catching someone out of bed or something."
As they continued walking, Alexis turned towards Hunter, "I am having a great time with you as well." And she kissed him gently on the cheek.

Hunter appreciated her words of wisdome, but it still didn't make him feel any better. "Thanks Alexis, but if I see any part of anything that resembles your father..I will give you a kiss...and then I will be taking off...until you give him the heads up", he said to her in all seriousness. "I don't trust that man right now at all...he would probably turn me into a mangey old rat" he said, trying to get her to smile.
He then felt Alexis lips on his cheek, "I'm having a great time with you as well", she said ti him as Hunter turned a slight colour of red. He smiled at her greatly and continued to walk with Alexis through the hounted house.
All of a sudden they came to a dark room, and Hunter cringed as he didn't really care for the dark much. He grabbed a hold of Alexis's hand and held it tightly in his, "Ok...this looks a little creepy...I defenatly did not sign up for this" he said to her jokingly as they continued to walk into the dark room together ahnd in hand.
