Hogwarts RPG Name: Shera Ben-Ari Third Year | Thornton, Grey Lady, Chloe and Azura ... with part of the food fight... SPOILER!!: Thornton Quote:

Thornton should have anticipated this question, he was sure, but his answer came quickly none-the-less. "The thing you should know is that there are many ways to be a Ravenclaw. A lot of people think we're just a house of people who are bookish and clever, but there is a lot of creativity and imagination, too." And the assumption that they'd be top students was... stressful sometimes to those, like Thornton, who were not entirely consumed or particularly talented in more academic pursuits.
He glanced at Jazz, and then back as Azura, sensing a bit that they were rather settled with one another, and probably didn't need a prefect hovering and welcoming and reassuring.
On to other new sortees! Creativity and imagination? Well in that case he might not be so out of place! But, he also knew he could do relatively well academically.
Or at least he had so far in his muggle schools.
Didn't matter one way or another, he smiled at the prefect though, before watching him leave to greet other first years. Quote:

If he wanted to know more he could research in Hogwarts. A History. "Did your parents attended Hogwarts too?" "Pleasure to meet you too, ma'am" he answered with a smile. It almost fell at the way she shortly answered his question. Maybe that was off limits?
He wouldn't ask any further. "My dad did... only for his last two years though. He was a Hufflepuff... I think... his name's Xander Quinn..." his father's name was probably more helpful than his rambling. He gave the ghost a sheepish smile at that. SPOILER!!: Chloe Quote:

"The joker's okay," she found herself saying, "But he's only really scary because he's chaos. You can't predict what he's gonna do next. It's not that he as a person is actually the scariest. You kind of always expect crazy from a guy dressed like a clown. Much scarier people are the people you never expect." She shrugged. That was what she thought, anyway.
And Catwoman was way better than the Joker by leagues. Just by virtue of existing. "Exactly why I like the Joker though, all of his arcs don't involve typical things. The chaos makes him one of the more interesting characters and despite his lack of development he does have some depth," he responded, proud of himself when he realised what he said. It actually made sense.
Or at least he thought it made sense.
What if it didn't?
Oops. "Though maybe that makes Harley Quinn a better character..." and not just because they shared a last name. Because she actually had a bit more depth. SPOILER!!: Azura Quote:

She put her elbow on the table, and propped up her head in her hand as she looked over at him, she couldn't get over how they had both gotten into the same house! She wanted to squeal!! But she didn't! Instead she just smiled, her purple eyes sparkling.. "Ahh Hufflepuff! I guess that wouldn't have been a bad house, but it's so far away from the Ravenclaw tower! She assumed of course, it would have been awful if he had ended up there! What if she tripped and died on her way down to see him?
EEEKK! She didn't want THAT on his conscious! Yes.. much better they got into the same house! "Oh no! You ran out of Sugar Quills?" She looked at him, her purple eyes wide in horror.. before she reached into robes and pulled one out.. "Well, now you have one." She said with a nod as she handed it to him, she made a mental note to ask her parents to send some more! She wasn't sure if her stash would be enough for the month!
He liked Sugar Quills too? He really was perfect.. wasn't he?
"I know..." he said quietly, still flushed when she was saying that she was just teasing him. But just in case there was a hint of truth in there somewhere he felt the need to defend himself anyway. Even if it was a really really bad defence...
Jasper laughed at her comment, a grin on his face. "We could've found a mid point somewhere..." he offered, before continuing on. "But we don't have to." And he was beaming. They didn't have to because they were already in the SAME house!
This was brilliant!
So brilliant!
His green eyes widened as Azura had pulled out a sugar quill, offering it to him. He took it, a grin crossing his face. "Thanks... I'll save it for later," he commented, putting the sugar quill into a pocket in his own robes.
It wouldn't do well to eat the one she had given him now.
Partially because then he'd be out again, eat his way through her stash and then she wouldn't be his friend anymore.
And partially because food had appeared on the table.
Just as he went to put some food on his plat he cringed as something hit him from behind. Mashed potato and gravy....
Ew...
That was going to take forever to get rid of.
Looking at Azura he shrugged, unsure what to do, but not really wanting to get involved in the food fight. Unlike others, he was going to listen to Thornton and NOT get involved.
Before he could even gather himself enough to drag Azura under the table to seek shelter it started raining. His green eyes looked at the ceiling in confusion, before turning back to Azura. Again he contemplating sitting under the table and waiting, but hey, he was already covered in food and already wet.
Maybe the rain would wash the potato out of his curly hair?
That'd be good. "So... this isn't exactly what I thought Hogwarts would be like..." he told Azura, waiting to see how she'd react. |
