SPOILER!!: Cinna

It wasn't his first welcome to Gryffindor since being sorted but the boy liked hearing it all the same. It was just the thrill of it. Every time someone else welcomed him he remembered all over again how he conquered the mighty hat that tried to force its skewed opinions on him--wait was that how his quill told it? He was gonna have to double check on that but for now the boy grinned widely at the older girl.

"Thanks! Been gearing up for it since I got my Hogwarts letter waaaaaay back." Blaise could still remember running around the house roaring and chasing his little sister because he was gonna be a BIG LION WITH CLAWS AND STUFF. His sister wasn't as amused and consequently neither was his mother. "Did you wanna get sorted here way back too?" His quill floated a little closer to her, ready to embellish away as it had a mind to do.

SPOILER!!: Airey

A part of conducting good interviews was paying attention to the other person and making sure you didn't miss what they said. As it stood, he had his quick quotes quill for that and could easily split his attention back to the Professor who was using one of his favourite words in iffy situations; 'yet'. Endless possibilities that one and he hoped his quill had jotted that down.

"So then....we ARE getting a pet dragon? Grand Auntie Sophia said the Slytherins have a pet snake. I reckon we can't have a pet lion cause it'll grow too big," No comments on the fact the dragon would grow MUCHHHHH bigger, just let him have it, "so maybe just a baby dragon and we can make it red and I could write stories about it FOR you!" See the quill currently floating and scribbling away madly. No doubt it was making him out to be a selfless boy with his house's best interest at heart.

"What'd you say??" YES?

SPOILER!!: Zeeeke

His poor quill.

The problem with Blaise Bellaire was that he had issues focusing on any one thing for too long. Consequently, his quill was contantly trying to keep up and by now he was sure it was only taking half stories at time. Granted they would have been embellished anyway but Merlin now they wouldn't be complete--like now. It HAD been quoting Professor Airey until.....that guy (names he needed names) got back to him about a question he'd asked. Perhaps he should have asked permission to run upstairs for another notepad and quick quotes quill. The boy had never tried using more than one before but at a party like THIS one, he didn't know how else he would keep up.

"Do WE have to wear suits like that when we go to his class? What if I don't want mine as..........shiny." Yeah...that was a decent word his quill would no doubt distort anyway. "Mum made me pack a suit 'cause she says sometimes they have Balls or stuff but I'd still wear my comfy clothes--don't write that down." The last bit said to the quill that would no doubt have gotten him in deep trouble with his mother.

SPOILER!!: Ellery

And there was that really loud girl again. The one that was louder than him and louder than Charlotte too as he'd decided. "Do you ever speak in lower volumes?" Serious question, serioues serious. He wasn't trying to be mean, the boy was genuinely curious and in fact his quill was poised and waiting for her answer. Blaise had heard Charlotte speak normal but never her. Maybe when she spoke normal she was so quiet that no one ever heard her? Was that possible? Could he ask that too? His mother had always warned him how impolite it was to ask too many questions...and how worse it was to take down answers without permission but his quill did what he it wanted.

SPOILER!!: Zander!

SEEEEEE????

Even though Blaise was 110% positive his quill wasn't getting the lyrics right he was also EVEN MORE SURE NOW THAT THE FANCY HEAD BOY SAID IT that the Fat Lady (no, really, WERE they allowed to call her that???) had gotten it wrong too. The mention of seven years threw him through a loop. "Whoa..so....no detention? No morning assembly with Professors watching to see who knows the words and who doesn't???" Answer carefully, the quill WAS jotting notes that, though embellished, could be used against him later.

Speaking of his quill, Blaise glanced over at it when questioned about its presence. "I do, unless Mum and Dad tell me not to. It's really handy cause I like asking questions and getting the scoop on stuff. Gonna be a kick butt Reporter one day." He had to start SOMEWHERE, right? "Do you like them too?" The quick quotes quills he meant.

SPOILER!!: Noelle

What sort of question was that?? "Of course! Yeah!" DUH he wanted to play, it was the coolest thing in the room next to the big red box the Professor said a dragon was eventually going to come out of--according to what his quill had written down. Someone really should tell him to put it away, it was hardly doing a good job of getting anything accurate tonight. "Do you think we gotta ask how or d'you reckon we can figure it out?" Cause he didn't wanna be THAT kid that made a fool of himself and had all the older kids laughing.

"The name's Blaise by the way, Blaise Bellaire."

Oh and they were asking Dora to join them? COOL! "You should, you really should. Noelle and I were just trying to figure HOW we do it." Cause he totally knew her name. He was standing right there when she said it.

SPOILER!!: Ava

So it wasn't just some silly Hogwash meant to scare him, it really was banned? "That sucks. Dad taught me how to fly a broom and let me fly on his with him too. I was SO ready--but they had rules about no First Years I think." Or was THAT Hogwash too? Blaise didn't know anymore. He'd heard lots about the castle before coming here and had actually taken them down with a proper quill to make sure they didn't get distorted. Sometimes you just couldn't trust a quick quotes one, no telling what would end up on the paper.

"Did you wanna play that mini quidditch game with us?" He asked, gesturing to himself, Noelle and Dora.

SPOILER!!: Bentley

It was the sudden rolling motion that drew his attention and it took a second of blinking in the fire light to realize his COUSIN had just gone into super stealth mode on the way over to the box. This could have been the biggest scoop of the day depending on a few factors such as if he'd actually get to do it without getting caught and WHAT was inside so Blaise was sure to have his quill and notepad focused. It was ready for whatever happened, even if that whatever was Bentley spending the first night in detention. Sacrifices had to be made for a good story sometimes, you know?

For his part the boy was silent, trying not to draw too much attention to the boy but the quill was poised and ready.

......

............

Then that whole speech happened and Blaise was right there along for the chant at the end. "ROAR ROAR GRYFFINDOR!" But he did have a question, one he'd been itching to ask since the painful rendition of the school song.

"Are we really allowed to call her Fat Lady?" It'd been bothering him for a WHILE. It wasn't like she could leave her frame to smack him behind the ear but Merlin it still sounded risky. With lungs like hers he could spend an hour being chewed out for it and THAT wasn't how he planned to spend any day here.

And yes you get to live her now." She laughed a bit at the girls question. This tea sure was making her peppy and social. It was a big mood change from the feast. And the younger kids seem to put her in a better mood too. It also made her miss her little brother and sister.

"No, no dragon, Mr. Bellaire," he chuckled. "Or rather, not yet." One could never tell what the future would bring. Meanwhile, in the fireplace, his marshmallow was ABLAZE and threatening to fall off his roasting stick. Things like this did tend to happen to those who were easily distracted.

"Not usually... well, suits yes, the glam... not so much." Girly glam that is. But the red was fetching, and not uncommon. His poor quill.

SPOILER!!: Ellery Quote: Originally Posted by Casey O Okay, so Ellery had tried to go along with Olly and join the Slytherin house, but she had been caught and sent back to her REAL house. Which was apparently guarded by some portrait who liked to sing? Sounds about right. But the inside of the common room was AWESOME. She almost turned to say something to one of her brothers, but then she realized…neither one was with her. Oh no. She could feel her heartbeat speeding up. Distractions, distractions….she danced uncertainly on her feet. "HI MY NAME IS ELLERY GWENOG BORZEKOWSKI-THOMAS AND I CHALLENGE SOMEONE TO A DANCE-OFF." Dance-offs ALWAYS worked as distractions. Scientifically proven. And there was that really loud girl again. The one that was louder than him and louder than Charlotte too as he'd decided. "Do you ever speak in lower volumes?"

Quote: Originally Posted by ArianaBlack SPOILER!!: Blaiiiiiise ] ... He was being addressed???? Well, the whole 'hey you' thing was kind of a relief. Because it meant this guy probably didn't know Zander's name yet which meant GREAT things because useless notes were useless and Zander had no idea who this kid was either. Awesome. Made things loads easier and there was less pressure. He liked that. "Honestly, I'm pretty sure the Fat Lady didn't even know the right lyrics." So basically you're in the clear, kiddo. "But you've got seven years," his attention momentarily caught by the floating notepad. "Do you always carry that thing around?" Just wondering. Also why? And also, also could Zander get one of those for Potions? Taking notes by hand was the worst. SEEEEEE???? Even though Blaise was 110% positive his quill wasn't getting the lyrics right he was also EVEN MORE SURE NOW THAT THE FANCY HEAD BOY SAID IT that the Fat Lady (no, really, WERE they allowed to call her that???) had gotten it wrong too.

That's what she had started off going to when her attention had moved around to everything that was happening around her. "I dont know but I am sure going to find out!" She exclaimed to Blaise. "Want to join me??" She asked and looked up at him. It wasn't a big look up, but she was used to being smaller than everyone. "Also, whats your name?" She asked and put a hand out for him to shake. Noelle was waiting to know the name of this boy when a very familiar face grabbed her and held onto her. Noelle squealed at her. "DORA!" She exclaimed and clung back to her. " Have you seen all the amazing things! And the food! And whatever that is!" she said pointing to the Quidditch mini set. "This person and I were about to play. I think...." She looked at (Blaise) again. Now.... all she had to do was figure out how to play. What sort of question was that?? "Of course! Yeah!" DUH he wanted to play, it was the coolest thing in the room next to the big red box the Professor said a dragon was eventually going to come out of--according to what his quill had written down.

SPOILER!!: Ava Quote: Originally Posted by RandomRaven Oh look, Blaise was here! "Hey Blaise!" She greeted that boy. She wondered why on earth Blaise always brought that funny quill. "Yeah, I heard that from my sister too." Too bad that quidditch gone banned here, Ava was excited to be one of her house's qudditch player. So it wasn't just some silly Hogwash meant to scare him, it really was banned? "That sucks. Dad taught me how to fly a broom and let me fly on his with him too.

Bentley stop dropped and rolled like a secret agent would and scurried about everyone (not that he'd be out of sight for long with the box being in the middle). Just taking some pictures......nothing to see here.......lalalalala......his fingers inched towards the opening... Where was Blaise?
