Hogwarts RPG Name: Allison Scott Fifth Year | Still laughing. Kellen totally owned Allison. xD! SPOILER!!: Kellen Quote:

As if it wasn't obvious that Icoguy had lied about his name, more proof was right here. But it didn't particularly bother him. Merlin, Dumbledore and all the rest knew Chaucer had changed his name every day of the week a few years ago, relabeling all his things and refusing to respond to any name except the one he now believed to be his own. Which could be tricky when he hadn't told Kellen what it was beforehand, but it had always been fun to puzzle it out.
As far as broken bones went he wasn't particularly squeamish, but broomsticks... there was nothing to hold on to! And what was with Allison stealing off of Icoguy's plate?
Kellen raised an eyebrow at her, a smirk playing around his mouth as he commented, "Wow Allison, for thinking he's a weirdo you sure don't mind flirting with him. Eating off his plate like that? You might as well declare yourselves a couple now." An out! He'd take it!
"No, no one died. No one was even there, actually; it was after OWLs and NEWTs were graded. Our Head Boy failed all his NEWTs and burned the school down in a blaze. I was just commenting to Allison that stone walls," he tipped his head to the walls of Hogwarts, "are clearly better than wooden ones for that reason."
"So, a magical flood? What happened there?"
He tried not to think of how completely ashamed Chaucer would be with him right now. He'd almost spat the story from his mouth to be rid of it, instead of weaving it into a graceful show of tragedy and lost love. Then again, he was so used to Chaucer being here that he'd almost expected the boy to materialize simply to deliver a monologue and then poof away back to the Slytherin table. That was their Quidditch captain? Well, he'd look forward to cheering their team on from the safety of the stands. Even though he didn't like Quidditch. But that was like announcing you detest sugar while standing in a candy store surrounded by children going through a post-Halloween candy withdrawal. Do you say it? No.
And it looked like Allison was too busy in her continued torment of Icoguy to try insisting again that Kellen was a pyromaniac. Good.
Instead he watched the faces at the staff table, and eventually turned back to Celandine; who would know better than a prefect, right? "Is it just me, or do some of our teachers really not like each other?" Quote:

Owain laughed when the guy pointed out Allison's flirting and worked up the courage to speak after hearing the explanation for the fire. "How could a head boy fail his exams?"
OOC:apologies not having any quotes to reference my characters ramblings - my computer isn't working properly at the moment.
Allison choked on her laugh at gasped for air. (She really wheezed for air. Making me type it as if it were different, tut tut.) Fanning herself she look across at Lying Crazy iColby--because everyone knew he was no longer mysterious or possibly iColby, and then with pain back at Kellen.
"That's a low blow," Allison mumbled.
Still trying to catch her breath she heard Kellen's story and shook her head. So he wasn't a pyromaniac, that meant he didn't burn down his school, that also meant that Allison had no reason to cower from him or think he was crazy, and that also meant that her reason of disliking him vanished. And she refused to like him at all costs. Had he not insulted her with the awful suggestion that she declare herself Lying Crazy iColby's girlfriend? Quote:

He certainly spent a lot of time walking around and reminding everyone of his position. That school was more concerned with etiquette and deportment anyway."
Had he introduced himself? He'd given the boy a wave and a 'hi', that he remembered, but just to be safe he added, "I'm Kellen. Kellen Stern. You are?"
If there wasn't food on the table he would have held his hand out for a shake; as it was he kept it holding his fork. The last thing he wanted was to drag a sleeve through gravy. Allison's jaw dropped. Just where exactly did Kellen go to school? The campus institution or whatever, sounded like a pompous school filled with fools. And yes, Allison was no excluding Kellen.

And trees had to also be OKAY with Quidditch decisions.
....
See? Quidditch captains were lunatics. "A tree needs to approve the new Quidditch captain! Coooool." Ian sounded particularly cheerful and even cracked a smile.
If you can't fight the lunatic enemy, join them. Already having shoved away the thought of Cela having a badge he might possibly want, Ian nodded enthusiastically as she spoke. "I have broken a several bones, too." His tone was real conversational, as if he were used to getting hurt - which was exactly the case. "I even have a metal plaque in the back of my head 'cos I fell off an elephant when I was five."
Fun times.
Oh.
He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Uhhhh." Colby and his attempts to be social and having friends was getting HIM in trouble. Great. Selfish Colby. "You know him?" Ian was not confirming being related to his brother. Ian stared at Allison, suddenly feeling like hitting his head against the table again.
"And you are a thief," He finally grumbled. "And Little pest." Just to make sure she'd keep her hands off his plate, Ian quickly finish what was left on his plate. ....
Shaggy head.
Meets.
Ravenclaw Table.
Ian made sure to repeat that motion several times.
Thanks, Nameless-Guy-Who's-Name-Might-Or-Might-Not-Be-Kellen. Finalizing with the head-butting thing of his that seemed to have become a necessity whenever Allison What's-Her-Surname was around, Ian rested his forehead on the table and closed his eyes.
He didn't have to look up to know that yet another female had joined him.
"Hey, Kellen - ever notice that there are a whole bunch of girls here? like a lot. Lots of estrogen and ... stuff." Ian obviously didn't bother to keep his voice down because he didn't believe he'd said anything wrong. As a matter of fact, his tone was quite calm, all things considered.
Maybe he was beginning to lose his mind, too. Allison chuckled despite the fact that she was just as embarrassed and annoyed as Lying Crazy iColby. However she did love the fact that he was also bothered and had called her a thief. Seriously the name calling was making Allison's ex-non-existent evil side's ego big. SPOILER!!: Kellen & LC iColby Quote:

When he made his comment about the estrogen, Kellen put a hand on the table and leaned under it looking for the boy's face, "I have noticed that, actually. Why do you think that is?"
He supposed it must look weird, talking underneath a table. He glanced down the underside and noticed a couple of crusty candies stuck to the wood. There was a wad of gum further down that looked relatively fresh, and he wrinkled his nose, "Well that's not particularly attractive, is it?" Quote:
Originally Posted by Oesed At first Ian wondered where on earth had Kellen run off to, then thought that if the other boy had ran away was something he could hardly blame him off, and then at last, he realized that Kellen had gone under the table.
Straightening up and scratching his head, Ian forgot his manners and the other people he was having a 'conversation' with, and ducked under the table. "I reckon they are trying to make us their servants. Women, y'know, the whole bunch have this thing that they feel like BOSSING everyone around." Ian made a face because he knew that from experience. He had a mum, three sisters, and an unbelievable large pack of female cousins.
They were all bossy and Ian was SURE they thought of him as their own little slave. With not one look of disgust, Ian's index finger poked the gum. "Hey, Allison," Ian emerged from under the table and grinned wickedly at the girl, "Want some gum? There's a reaaaaal fresh one down there. Wouldn't want it to go to waste." See? He wasn't EXCLUDING people from his conversation with Kellen. Mum would be proud.
Eyes widening and gag reflex reacting, Allison turned a light shade of green. One thing the girl hated more than anything were germs. Although the older boy was slow, for the lack of a better word like dim-witted, stupid, idiotic, or a...let's stop there--his common sense seemed to work perfectly. Unless he was just lucky that the gum had been underneath the table.
Managing her courage which came from her pride, Allison's etiquette pored of her pores and she sniffed, "If I were you I'd make that disappear, wouldn't want it to end up in your scruffy hair, now would you?" Quote:

He would have thought it a strange activity, had he not been so preoccupied with saving his face from hard tile. That's when a boy crashed into Kellen and was invited to sit next to him. Which to her good grace was between Kellen and herself. And the movement of things changed once again.
