What school were you from?” as for her name, she had mentioned it already hasn’t she? Yes she most certainly did. SPOILER!!: Mika Quote:

Her eyebrows knitted together as she spotted the solo cups, Dixie plates, and plastic silverware. What had happened to the plates that they normally used? She thought as she tipped her head in confusion. She had no idea at all what was going on or why they had the lame cups.
Lame. That was what they were.
She just frowned at the cup, leaned forward and blew lightly. The cup tipped on its side and rolled slightly. Yep. How were they going to pour the juice? What did they have plastic galleon general pitchers?
Turning to the people closest to her. “So…plastic cups?” She asked her eyebrow rising as she looked toward them.
Of course she had to say hello to her friends and housemates. It was important. Very important. ”Hey Macabre!” she waved to Mo, which was rather silly because he was y’know, right next to her. She noticed a girl looking at the cups like she had never seen them before. She looked so, so innocent. Who was she? Mika knew she had met her it was just she didn’t remember her name really. “kill…Aw?...Ah? AhKilla?” she muttered unknowingly loud enough for the girl to hear her.
She then glanced up at the other guy…he was cool. She remembered that from last term. Yeah last term and the term before that. ”Hey Garrick…” she smiled over to him. And then she just looked around for more people to say hello to. BEEZUS.
”HEY Beezus how was summer?” she asked the prefect smiling over to her.
“Hello Mika!” the young Claw waved back. Ah yes the trouble with her name with this one “Yes its Ah-kee-lah” she grinned. Should she say something about her last name? Maybe they could cover that for later “I have your cupcakes here.” she added, patting the small purse she had stuffed with sweets “I have more candies too—from the trolley.” half of which she doesn’t even know what its about. All she knows is that she shouldn’t starve while they waited for food. If they’re even going to be fed. SPOILER!!: Marcus Orion Quote:

Like a catapult.
Mo grinned at Beezus when she made an appearance, although she earned herself a frown for 1) ruffling his well-coifed hair 2) calling him Marcus and 3) continuing on without stopping to chat when he was clearly her favorite person of all time. OF ALL TIME.
He carefully rearranged his hair back into its characteristic swoop. "Beatrice. Hey back." Scowl.
"Hey... Nigel," Mo nodded at his roommate and only just somehow managed not to flail around in his seat. WHY WAS HE BEING CALLED MARCUS?
Was this one of those grown up things he should have figured out on his own but had somehow missed in the last year? Maybe he was supposed to go by Marcus now? He'd ask Alice about it later, since she was older and completely trustworthy.
Mo appreciated the hero worship, and he gestured for Aquila to come and join him. "C'mere, Key. You'll like this. I made a pyramid of the Solo cups... if you collect some more, then we can probably make it about 6 feet tall. Plus, I made this silverware catapult for storming the Head Table. You want to try to shoot a fork? See if you can beat Raven... that spoon up there is hers."
He offered a fork to the younger girl. Oh, his middle name. Well then. Now they were discussing ALL HIS NAMES. "Orion is my middle name. Like the constellation. I have a fabulous belt."
"Creepy!" Mo put an arm around Mika and sort of snugged her against him in an awkward 'oh, this feels different than usual' hug. It lasted a moment before he let her go. Probably because he had grown so much over the summer, although Mika had apparently grown too?
"Plastic cups. I'm Pharaoh of the Great Hall, and this is my mighty pyramid." He gestured to the Great Solo Pyramid he'd begun building on the table. He needed a hat. All Pharaohs had hats. Big ones. "Also made a catapult. If you can hit one of the professors with a spoon, I'll... well. You'll win. You can pick your prize. Gold. Treasure. Adventure beyond compare." “So you are named after a constellation-- The Hunter!” she beamed. That made his cool factor go past the stratosphere in manner of speaking “I was named after a constellation too—well ok named after my sponsor—but she was named after the constellation.” And that’s pretty much the only thing they had in common. She met the old woman, and she found her to be even scarier than the High Mother if that was even possible.
Oh but Mo—rather Orion—has started building himself a pyramid out of those blue cups “Oh! A temple.” Yes that is what she calls it, she learned all about those from the Priestesses see. “More cups? Like how much more?” she asked, with her hands already collecting her own cup and Garricks—because it didn’t look like Garrick would want his anyway—and parked them near the blue structure. And then he goes saying something else “Uhm... whatsa cat-a-pull?” perplexed now, she was starting to wonder if she should’ve insisted on bringing the temple cat. SPOILER!!: Ethan Quote:

"I am.." he grinned, glancing down at the badge. "I'm Ethan, one of Ravenclaw's prefects." Well, along with Beezus, of course, who had already held the title a little while. Chuckling a bit, he shook his head. "No.. not Spike.. Professor Cerulean, actually.." And quite the surprise for the seventh year. He looked at the girl for a moment, sure he had seen her around the common room last term. "I'm sorry.. I don't believe we've met.. what is your name?" Prefect Ethan. Got it. “Ohhhh so Professor Cerulean gives that.” she had little understanding of Prefect concepts beyond the shiny badge, so go easy on her. But she does understand that Cerulean was her House Mother while she was at this school. So alls good. So far. “My name is Aquila Llywellyn.” she recited happily “I came here last term, Beezus and Spike welcomed me.” SPOILER!!: Garrick Quote:

"Maybe... but the first years couldn't do it, so I think that's not the case." Logic. He had it.
“Whyyy?” she murmured to the new boy, completely naïve of the concept of malicious things that can be done with smelling.
She tilted her head to the side, she didn’t consider younger years that cant transfigure the plates “Oh...” well to be honest, her skill aint that much better either. SPOILER!!: Beezus Quote:

She was trying to be helpful but she didn't have much to say so she hoped Aquila won't ask further. She was commonly one of the most curious ones.
More banner eyeing. So this wasnt a usual thing with Hogwarts? Ok now she was totally confused. And as she gazed to the next table she realized that they too had similar dinnerware with slightly different cup colors. She was starting to give up on figuring the why, and more of—can these things actually be eated off of. And then suddenly “Where will we have the soup?” Like the awesome pumpkin soup. They aren’t actually going to have to drink it off the blue glasses are they? SPOILER!!: Niamh Quote:

But one needs their girly chats, Niamh thought to herself. Smiling at the girl, Niamh introduced herself. "Hi Aquila, I'm Niamh. I'm in Fourth Year, but it's my first year here. What year are you in?" She returned a smile on the new girl “I’m in my 3rd year....” she replied with a tilt of her head. Another transfer, maybe what she did last term wasn’t so odd after all after all “I transferred too, last term, I’m in my 3rd year now.”Nod nod “Which school did you come from?” The banner? It was only then that the blonde Claw looked up and noticed the banners looking frayed. “Ohhh...” she breathed as she sat all wide eyed. Because she was still relatively new around here she didn’t even notice the banners upkeep looking any different until it was mentioned. But now she has noticed a few things and started to mumble “Does Hogwarts need fixing?” totally innocent question there. |
