What do idle hunters and magic breed? More Pranks! ((Closed RP, Sam, Dean, Bobby and Cas))

As Dean neared the bar he saw Bobby and Cas walking out together, it was his lucky day. Dean grinned as the two men stepped out of the bar and pulled his wand free from his jeans "Fancy meetin' you two here." With that the hunter wiggled his eyebrows and quickly uttered the words to the first spell, aiming for Bobby first, he knew he needed to instigate the hunter mostly and hoped Cas would follow along. Of course his spell missed and in the next instant Dean turned and fired another misfired spell at Cas.

Eyes going wide, he played it off well as he looked at the two men left unaffected and then down at his wand "Crap, these things don't shoot like guns." And with that, and another set of misfired spells over his shoulders Dean Winchester took off running down the halls heading for the spot Sam had set up .

Dean grimaced and as much as he wanted to say that any one had started it but him, he was the first one to pull a prank "Hey! They made me a foot tall, we didn't know it would screw up like this."

A rather sheepish elf choose that moment to peek around Dean's legs and look up at the hunter, who gave it a look "You just wait till we find them, then you go get Sammy, don't go to slow or we'll lose you."

Dean stopped when John asked his question, truth be told, Cas was usually with him or and he couldn't call him like he used to "DAD!" Dean had a sudden idea, it might not work but maybe "Try callin' his name, cause in this place, only place I can think of is with us, Cas is always with us, he's family now."

"Yeah. Yeah, I figured as much. I saw he had my watch, the one I left Sammy."

He was trying to chart out the school in his head when Dean's idea brought him to a sudden halt. "You think he'd hear me?" The elder Winchester shrugged and called out in a surprsingly gentle voice, one Dean hadn't heard in years. "Castiel? Castiel you can come out, it's okay. Come on, we'll find a way to fix this."

Nothing.

"Hm. Come on, we'll have to keep trying."

Dean didn't know what to say to that, he hoped that didn't hurt John and he tried to read his dad's face. But then that voice sent Dean back, back to before even Sam was born and he looked surprised, he had forgotten his father had that gentle side, since their mother died it had been in short supply. Not that Dean would complain, he knew John had done his best and what he thought was right and that was all Dean needed, he had faith in his father.

"Damn, he must be spooked or distracted, I'm gonna bet Sammy and Adam went to his room. Let's go check Bobby's room" Dean turned down the hall, hoping against hope that they would find the two in the bedroom.

"Sorry about all this, sir."

If seeing the watch on the angel had hurt John, and it had a little, now wasn't the time to talk about it.

He caught the surprised look on Dean's face and gave him a small smile. The boy always believed in him, even when he felt like he was coming apart at the seams. It was harder on those days when he felt like he didn't deserve that faith. As a kid, Dean was the rock that held their family together.

"It's okay, Dean. We'll find them," he reassured him. "If they're not in Bobby's room, do you know anywhere Bobby might take them?"

Dean wouldn't argue that, he was worried about Cas and he was worried about Hogwarts other occupants as well. But, as much as he hated to avoid the emotional talks, he knew Sam and John would have to face each other, over the watch and every thing else eventually. So he just nodded at his dad and then pushed Bobby's door open. It was neat but there was no sign of the boys "Crap."

Dean turned around then and looked up at the ceiling "CAS!! Damn it, stop doin' this, c'mon man! I'm sorry alright, Cas, you hear me! I SAID I'M SORRY!" Dean realized he just had his own form of tantrum, hoping Cas would hear him, it occurred then that his Dad probably needed to hear the whole story and realize Cas was like another brother to the boys now. "Y'know for a nerd, he can be stubborn. Bobby's gotta go some where he knows, but doesn't think we do. Maybe one of those demons will know. Crap, maybe they got hungry, should set a tr..." He shock his head, he couldn't trap a young Cas, he just couldn't do that to his friend or Bobby for that matter.

He looked at John and for one moment Dean wished his Dad just knew what to do, but he had to let that go, Dean had to know what to do, this was his mess after all.

The frantic note in his son's voice made him ache. He hadn't seen Dean this upset since Sammy had run away. He caught Dean's shoulder and turned him around. "Dean," he said gently. "Son, calm down. He's either ignoring the call or he can't remember what to do. We'll find him, Dean," he promised.

John made a mental note to sit down and talk with the angel the boys had all but adopted while he had been gone.

"Let's check the Great Hall, maybe someone saw them." John clapped him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile.

Dean stopped and it was strange, even as an adult that quiet reassurance, the hand to his shoulder and the encouraging smile raised his spirits, he looked at his dad and grinned "Yes, sir."

He looked off "Just if somethin' happens to Cas or Bobby and it's because of this prank." He shook his head, the fact evident that if that happened Dean would carry the guilt of it on his shoulders.

"Plus, I don't know if you've ever been on the receivin' end of an angel temper tantrum, but it's no joke." Dean talked, giving that cocky, joking tone of his, even though he was entirely serious. He knew what Cas was capable of and Dean knows that children can not always control their emotions.

He reached the stair case and stepped on to it, looking over his shoulder at John "There is the one Kitsune guy or what ever, he hangs out with Bobby some. He might know, I just don't know where to find him."

It felt good to be needed, even just a little.

"We'll get to them before something happens Dean. Bobby's too smart to let them get into trouble, even if he is a kid." He hopped on the staircase. "A kitsune? Figures. At least it's not another crow woman (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1951864.html?thread=109845112#t109845112) like that time in Seattle," he said with a smirk.

"Once we get to the Great Hall, we can ask one of the house elves about where any local kitsune like to hang out."

No matter what had happened, no matter that he had felt some what betrayed in learning what John had kept from them, or that he at times regretted the way his life had been about being the good soldier and it made him angry at John, in the end it came down to Dean would always need, love, respect and obey his father.

"This guy don't seem bad, he likes givin' me a hard time, but he's Bobby's friend." Dean shrugged, that meant the guy was off limits, even if Dean was more inclined to hunt most of what lived in this school than co-habitat peacefully.

As they stepped in to the Great Hall Dean did not see any sign of the two boys, but he saw a mess, cookie crumbs on the floor, he knelt down and looked at them "I think we're on the right track."

Dean looked up "Oi! CAS! BOBBY!"

"Bobby likes anyone who gives people a hard time. That's how we wound up friends in the first place."

John nodded. "Nothing attracts little boys like cookies. All right, so Bobby knows this kitsune. What do you know about him? Is he a profes.." he trailed off, the light dawning.

Of course. "I met him at the sorting. The professor. Come on!" He grabbed Dean's arm and bolted out the door.

Dean was listening to his dad and rising in to a standing position when John grabbed his arm "Whoa!" He exclaimed as he at first was dragged along, after a few seconds he gained his feet and kept his stride even with his dad's.

"Where we goin'? You know where that tall freak lives?" Dean's eyes rather he knew it or not lit up with pride, of course John would know what to do, even if it meant getting a lecture Dean had made the right decision and his father just proved that to him.

"He's the herbology professor. I don't know where he lives, but I'm sure if we look around the grounds, we'll find him," John said, his eyes shining as Dean ran alongside him. God he had missed this. A simple chase with his son at his side.

"And if we find him, we'll find Castiel and Bobby."

It was like being transported back in to the past, honestly Dean remembered a while back being a teenager again, but not what it felt like. Now, he may as well have been sent back in time, hunting with his dad, both of them in their element and it felt good. Now if he could just get this to include his brother and Dean thought afterword, his half brother.

"HA! Welcome back Cotter!" Dean couldn't help the enthusiastic tone that came with the reference. He would remember to think his Dad but for now Dean ran along side him, just thankful that they would find the boys and soon.

John flashed a grin at his son as they ran. He had missed his enthusiasm and his sheer tenacity on a hunt. It had been so much simpler before they had started tracking the demon full time.

He slowed his pace as they neared the greenhouses. A few flickers of light were visible as the fireworks display Kurama had put on for the boys finally dimmed. "Ok. Slow down. We don't want to scare them into popping out again," he said quietly.

Dean took his cue from John as if things had never changed, they could have been back to hunting before the Demon with the way it all seemed to just flow together.

He slowed his pace and even lowered his voice a little, he knew he would have to watch what he said or risk upsetting Cas once more "Just be careful, some reason bein' a kid makes Cas get all sensitive like Sammy."

He flattened his back to the wall and went to slowly inch his head around the door frame to see if he could catch a glimpse of the angel and hunter turned children "What the hell is he doin', playin' light bright with them?"

The lights faded and Dean thought he saw Cas and Bobby for a moment, but he couldn't be sure, he glanced over his shoulder to John "They were here." He stepped away from the wall and walked in to the room. (http://community.livejournal.com/hogwarts_hocus/1992594.html?thread=112583314#t112583314)
