IC quotes from the school RP only, please.

I was stalking (Hogsmeade: Madam Puddifoots) ...and chanced upon this:

Quote:

"Well, we have the usual," Tag began, pulling a brown parcel of Sugar Quills from the sack. He pushed them towards Bucky, as typically he did at opportune moments--such as coming up behind her while she was doing homework, or slipping one into her bag between classes for her to find later.

"And then we have- ta da!" Out came a pair of abnormally circular plastic glasses, which Tag promptly placed on Bucky's face, looping the tips around her ears. To the wearer's perspective, everything was supposed to appear normal. To everyone else, the redheaded girl's jade eyes looked absurdly gigantic and blinky--like a disproportionate owl. Tag kept a straight face. "Happy birthday! You look marvelous."

Quote:

Celestina tried not to take the parcel of Sugar Quills too quickly lest Tagren thought she was eager to eat them all in one sitting. Out of all things sweet Sugar Quills was the only item she could handle with the exception of cotton candy.

From the bag, next came out the most hideous pair of spectacles she had ever seen and to Bucky's fright they were being placed on her face. Swallowing, trying to not hurt Tag's feelings she smiled weakly.

"Why thanks Taaaag," she said awkwardly, a sloppy smile hanging from her lips. "They're really uh--something."

Quote:

Tag simply could not help himself. She was trying so hard not to look horrified--and she had no idea what the glasses were doing to her face.

"Do you really like them? Oh, I'm glad. I looked and looked for just the right pair!" Tag's effort was so strenuous, his eyes started to water. He sniffled emotively to cover it up. "They make you look so - clever!"

Quote:

Bucky blinked repeatedly and stared at Tagren, fake smile faltering more and more with each second passing. He had searched and high and low for these glasses? Where did he look? A flea market?!

"Yes," she responded a bit testily. "Because we all know I need to look clever."

Ripping open the parcel she picked out a red Sugar Quill and began to suck on it loudly. After nearly two years of dating you would think he knew better than to choose an abnormally large pair of glasses as a birthday gift.

"I'm sooo glad you bought them," she mumbled around the quill. "Hopefully they didn't cost too much."

You better had not paid a fortune for these hideous telescopes or I will kill you!

Quote:

Tag realized about five seconds too late that the 'clever' compliment had been overkill. Bucky had always been hypersensitive to her struggle with academia. He had no idea why- the girl was sharper than a tack. Who cared if she melted her gerbil in Charms class? She could divine, she could talk a white-gloved lady into eating fudgesicles, and she could beat up her older siblings. Now that was priceless.

Tag debated whether to let Bucky in on the prank. For about two seconds. "I'm kidding!" he said, suddenly worried that his joke had gone too far. He looked around anxiously, ready to smash any mirrors that would lend themselves at the worst moment possible. Forget seven years bad luck! Maybe he would be lucky if she didn't shove the glasses down his esophogas.

Tag reached for the specs and hurriedly shoved them into his pocket. "I'm kidding, it was a joke. . .that's not what I really got you. This is your real present." He removed the remaining package from the box.

Quote:

Celestina's nails drummed loudly and repeatedly over the retina-burning-vomit-inducing pink tablecloth. She was very close to taking off the glasses and slipping them into her robes for "later use". Thankfully, Tag broke the silence and was removing the grotesque things himself. "It wasn't a very funny joke, Tagren Sevens!" She scolded, feeling relieved.

Holding her breath she awaited for her present to be revealed only to stare blankly at the package. "What is it?" She inquired quickly picking up the package and shaking it viciously. "Is it shiny?"

LOL, Bucky and her fixation with shiny things *pokes her*

Quote:

"Don't shake it!," Tag said a little too loudly, his voice tinged with panic. He lunged for the package before she banged it against the table, then stopped short, taking a breath. "Ah- it's delicate, I mean."

Tag tried avoid sweating, but his body wouldn't obey. He was nervous. This wasn't a pair of googly glasses. What if she didn't like it, for real? He didn't have a backup for this one. And it was the most he'd spent on a birthday present in his entire young adult life. Not that that meant much, since Tag wasn't exactly rolling in galleons. But for some reason, this seemed riskier.

He sat back, clutching his seat underneath him.

I actually went "AWWWWW" here

Quote:

Celestina gave Tag a weird look before glancing down at the package between her hands. By the way Tagren was acting you'd think it was a rare family heirloom. Clearing her throat she pursed her lips playfully. "I'm going to open it now," she teased and ran a hand first over blue paper before pulling lose the silver ribbon.

She tucked the ribbon into her robes before he could ask any questions and ripped the blue paper off the package to reveal a box. Opening it quickly, her green eyes widened as they fell on each of the items hidden inside. Her hand shot towards the inside of the box before her actions froze and she pulled it out again. Staring some more at the silver and black camera, only giving casual glances at the filter and hotshoe flash, Bucky let out a sigh.

"This is...I...." She stammered trying to conjure proper words. Worrying her bottom lip, she looked up at Tagren with watery eyes. "It's so much better than those ugly glasses!"

Chuckling she gently brought out the camera and held it at eye level. "It's soooo beautiful!"

The girl was practically drooling from infatuation. But still, she put the camera back down and out of the way before lunging at Tag on his seat. Her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, Bucky let land multiple sloppy kisses on his cheek. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

*sighs* In the end...I am a very happy hopeless romantic. I love these two *grabs them in a bear hug*

A few posts kept for sentimental reasons...

When Kerry burst out laughing at his tale, Kat took a sip from her goblet to keep from doing the same. She might not know the whole story but it did sound quite ridiculous. As Anna excused herself she nodded "Alright," she replied as she went back to her quiet observant self for now.

A book was tucked under one arm, his finger marking the place where he had left off last, and under his other, rolled up, was a sketch, tied in a blue and red, curling ribbon. His black converse scuffed the floor as he shuffled nervously up to where the Gryffies were dining, and as if he had a Kat GPS, his head snapped immediatley to her seat. Silently, he tapped her shoulder and flashed her one of his crooked, unsure grins which were rather commonplace around the fifth year, where normally they would be exceedingly rare.

Her attention drawn inwardly, she never noticed the approach of another familiar face till she was drawn back to the present by a light tap on her shoulder. Turning around in her seat, she smiled up at Devon, happy to get at least one more chance to see the Ravenclaw. "Hey," she replied softly.

He knew he was going completely and utterly out of his nature to show someone his emotions. He preferred to keep them from view, but this moment, he decided, might very well be their last together. Not only was Katerina Savoy was his first crush, she was also his first real friend. One who he actually enjoyed talking to, smiling at, being around. She put him on cloud nine, and bathed him in a warmth that all experience with friendship and affection. Such was completely new to the third year oddball. He rocked back and forth on the grayed rubber of his shoes and weaved his fingers into his black and blonde hair until he was the exact picture of awkwardness. Inhaling as if he were about to dive into a pool from the high dive, he dropped the rolled parchment into her lap. The clumsily tied ribbon lazily undid itself, revealing a sketch of Kat and his self sitting near the lake. It was a striking likeliness, and looked like it was more a photograph than a drawing. However, the sketch of Kat made her appear angelic, the image he pictured when he thought of her. A thin slip of paper floated gently to the floor where it had been tied with the present. Written on it were sentiments of how he regretted leaving her, and things he could not say to her face without tripping over his tongue painfully. He had originally intended to give her both at the train station, but he knew that all nerve was leaking from his body. Before he could say a word, he was off, sprinting out of the Great Hall, his feet pulling him to the Ground Pathways.

"For me?" she asked quite redundantly as the parchement was dropped on her lap, its contents opening up for her to see as the tie came loose.

To say the Gryffindor was meerly speechless at the touching sentiments would be an understatement and as Kat finally looked back up to word her thanks, to say something, it appears too late as she spots Devon as he runs from the Great Hall.

"Devon....wait!" she called out as she carefully stored both the picture and note in the pocket of her robes as she stood up. Hoping her agility from quidditch was enough to catch the sprinting boy as she ran after him.

LadyNerd · 04-30-2008, 04:26 PM

Okay! I have to say that this is one of my favorite quotes by Professor Fabian Clark just because....well, you will see!

Oh, there was the rest of her story but did he really need to hear it? Well, she had to give her explanation of things. "You know," she began with gossip, "I heard that Christian and Mallory are dating." She placed a bite of food in her mouth and began to chew. At least she didn't have to explain her mean actions and poor excuse of letting Christian know her heart belonged to someone else. Think of something else! "And I have a new friend. Her name is Agie and she is the best." She began to giggle as now she had completely changed the subject three times.

Quote:

Fabian smiled inwardly as Lyra began eating, very good. He's done his work smoothly, or so he thought. But she agreed to his terms and that made him slightly suspicious, no arguments? back off? girl tantrums? That was easy wasn't it. He started scooping food onto his plate, yet shiftily glancing at Lyra once she initiated a conversation.

"I guess that means we won't call on him this summer" he teased with a slight chuckle, "he's a good kid Christian. Promising future. And is that Agie, the Gryffindor Captain Agie? Now thats a great choice you made. She's a good lass, could teach you a thing or two" he mused with a grin.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra looked up as Fabian spoke of calling Christian for the summer. "Well, we still could call him but Christian and I are just friends, nothing more." She took another bite of food as Fabian spoke of Agie. Oh he knew who she was and she nearly spit her food out as he spoke of Agie teaching her a thing or two. Boy! Was he ever right about that, just not what he thought. She began to cough as if she were choking on something. Well, she was...her food. She quickly reached for her juice and took a drink.

"Oh she already has," she spoke sweetly as her eyes glanced at Fabian, giving that sweet innocent look that she always gave him. "She is quite a character and...speaking of calling over a couple of friends, I would love to invite both Agie and Josh over if we could. I mean, what harm could be done in that?" She took in a deep breath as she knew the possibilities of harmful things that could happen but it would not include Josh, it would include Agie.

Meanwhile back in Fabian's office before the Dinner with his niece, Lyra and her best friend, Agie being sneaky as usual...

Quote:

"Okay, little buddy," she said to Fex making sure that he was not going to move very far. She pulled out her wand and aimed it towards the goat. "Lokhutrix," she said as different colours emerged from the end of her want and falling like pixie dust, colouring Fex like a rainbow. She then placed her hands back to her face and wanted to cry because he looked so pretty.

"Okay! Now we have to get Josh in here," she said as she walked over to the door. "Follow my lead and don't let anyone see you." She opened the door slightly and spoke out in a deep voice that matched Fabian's. "Josh, come inside and make sure it is only you."

Quote:

Josh heard fabain's voice as it sent a small shiver up his spine. he looked around...well no one was really paying attention." erh.. sure professor." he said as he moved into the office. He made sure no one else got in as he looked around the office. "what are you guys doing?" he asked as they were trouble.

Quote:

Lyra quickly locked the door behind Josh and began to giggle once more. "We are causing trouble as usual," she giggled as she walked over to him, grabbed his hand and pointed towards Fex, who now wore his pretty rainbow colours. "Agie here just has to set the the colours so that they do not run and will stay for....quite some time." She reached up and kissed his cheek. "Aren't you proud? I am."

Quote:

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie opened her mouth in shock as Lyra did the colour spell. "OH My Gosh!" She giggled. "I definitely say that is an improvement." Agie nodded. She was very impressed with Lyra's wand work.

Agie wanted Josh inside as well. She stood back and giggled silently at her imitation of Fabian. It was pretty good.

She laughed as Josh came in with a terrified look on his face. "Watch!" SHe winked, and Agie aimed her wand at Fex and used a sticking charm on him. "There! That should keep him colourful for a while. Months even." She snickered.

Looking towards Lyra and Josh, her grin widened as a thought came to her mind. "We could sign our master piece now!" She grinned.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra giggled then moved to clapping her hands together. "Oh I'm so proud Agie. He looks so..." she paused as she made a face like she was going to cry. "Beautiful!" She threw her head back with laughter once more but then stopped short. "Now how would we sign our master piece? What is the best way?" She was now curious once more as Agie came up with yet another brilliant idea.

Quote:

Agie laughed along with Lyra. "Me to! Our best work yet." She said, as she grabbed the pouch around her neck that Josh gave her and started searching deep within the pouch. She had so many things to sort trough, including the love potions Josh and her had make. "Hmmm...I know it's in here somewhere." She said, nibbling on her bottom lip. Her hand finally found what she was looking for. "Ah ha!" She exclaimed, holding a thin object in her hand. "I bought this one day at a muggle store. It is called a permanent marker. It's like a quill you see." She explained. "You just take this lid thingy off and start writing....I'm not sure how exactly permanent it is, so we can use the sticking charm again to make sure." She giggled, and handed the marker over to Lyra. "You first!" She smirked. If Lyra did it first, Fex would probably let Agie write on him as well.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra laughed for a moment and took the marker from Agie. "Hmmm," she thought to herself as her eyes looked towards the ceiling. She tapped the marker to her chin and then smiled...slyly of course. What other way would there be. She walked over to where Fex was and bent down on her knees, petting his head and once again giving him her favorite mohawk.

Once she noticed that he was going to be okay with her at his side, she pulled the lid off the marker and began to write.

Lyra luvs Fex and his mohawks

She stood back up and handed the marker to Agie. "I was going to put Lyra was here, but thought against it." She began to giggle as she thought of the look on her uncle's face.

Quote:

Fabain....oh he wasnt going to be to happy. he looked around to see the room crazy looking..."did something explode?" he asked them. permant coloring... and a sharpie. They were getting into trouble...and they were going to sign him to prove it. " You know because you are signing it...everyone will know who did it. Not very sneaky." he said to them. " and its called a sharpie agie. DONT! sniff it." he told them both.

Quote:

Lyra looked to Josh as he took her hand and smiled. "That is precisely my point. I want everyone to know. I don't really care anymore. It's the end of school and what better way to say...I love Fex than to sign my name to his...well, hair." She then frowned a bit as she tried to figure out something. "Why would someone want to sniff the..." looks at pen "marker...sharpie...thingy?" She looked to Fex once more and smiled.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Josh

Josh smirked at her as she talked about love. " if you really loved him you wouldnt torture him with these pansy colors." he grinned as he then moved to fex and used his wand to wet his hair. He then moved to give him a mohawk. He used a spell to make it red. " awesome.. oh wait." he said as he moved to dig into his bag as he pulled out some sunglasses. he moved to put it on fex as he chuckled." Yep now you are good." he told him as he chuckled again. he looked at lyra as she asked about the marker." um.. nevermind." he said as he had been hanging around muggles to much. he looked at the two as he then said." you two get next to fex. i'll take your picture." he said with a smile.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie grabbed the marker back off Lyra, still snickering from what she wrote. She placed the edge of the marker in her mouth, like she did to her quills. Agie thought for a moment of what to write. "Hmmmm" She mumbled. As a twisted smile came to her face.

She went over to Fex and keeled beside him. And wrote next to Lyra's writing..

Agie will wash Fex anytime!

She giggled as she got out her wand and placed a sticking charm on what they had written. "There! All done." She said, as she stepped back to admire their beautiful work.

Agie smirked at Josh. 'Did you want to write something?" She giggled. "And don't you see, Lyra and I don't care if we get into any more trouble." She smirked. "Term is nearly over! And they are not pansy colours!!! Fex looks great, and he loves it." Agie said poking our her tongue and turning to Fex, 'Don't you just love the new look Fex!"

Agie giggled as Josh made his own touches to Fex! "ooohh that looks awesome Josh!' Agie grabbed Lyra's hand and moved closer to Fex. "Awesome! A photo to always remember!" She smirked.

Quote:

Josh smiled at agie as she asked if he wanted to sign him." maybe later. I have to think of something. Maybe Double oh Seven will ..." he thought." see i have nothing." he said as he looked at the two. he chuckled as he loved the sunglasses on fex. he pulled out his muggle digital camera.He was glad that it was solar powered so he wouldnt have to worry about batteries. "Smile my troubles." he teased them both. He moved to take a photo. he grinned as he looked at the two. This was priceless. "one more. Funny faces. maybe fex will have his tongue sticking out too." he said as he let them get their faces and took another picture. he laughed as he was amused by this all.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra giggled at Josh as he gave her favorite goat a mohawk and painted it red. "Lovely...just lovely," she laughed and shook her head. And then he added the sunglasses. "Oi! Even better!" Now she was excited at the new stylish look that Fex was possessing.

"I love what you put!!" She gleamed from ear to ear. "Oh a picture with Fex...come on Agie," she said as Agie grabbed her hand. "Oh wait..." she moved to put her arm around Agie and leaned against Fex in a sassy pose. "Make it as sassy as you can Agie. This is going to be one to remember." Now she wished she had a pair of sunglasses as well to sport.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie laughed at both Joah and Lyra. She did as Lyra instructed and started posing with Lyra. She was being as sassy as she could be. "Thanks she giggled. I love your comment too!" Agie said in between poses. "Josh! You should come it too!"

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra looked to Josh and pouted. "Yeah! Please come and be in the picture with us," she begged. "You know you want to make it a trio of trouble." She looked back and forth from Agie to Josh and smiled.

Quote:

Josh chuckled at the two. Josh looked over at the two as agie told him to come over. " alright. Only because i think it would be fun. Not be cause i've been reading that book i gave you." he teased. he moved to set the timer and put it on his desk.he moved to stand between to the two girls as he smiled." everyone say cheesecake." teased.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Agie

Agie giggled hysterically. These two were seriously the best friends she ever had. She loved all their crazy moments. Agie made room for Josh and screamed out "CHEESECAKE!' Followed by lots of giggled.

She couldn't wait to see these photos!. "We should send a photo to Fabian after" She laughed. "Ok I think we should start to leave. We can't be seen in here. Especially at the state of this room." She said.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Lyra

Lyra giggled as Josh moved in between them. She reached over and placed her hand around his waist and began to giggle a bit more. She waited a bit for the flash to come and..."Cheeeesecaakee," she grinned with a sassy look as she then reached to pull him to her in a kiss. Oh wouldn't Fabian be proud of that picture.

And then the Dearest Uncle and his buddy Max enter the room....

Quote:

"I hope so Max, lets hope her face doesn't explode with any sort of reaction or I'm doomed" he looked at his friend with a crooked smile, "or we're doomed" he broke into a chuckle and started unlocking the door. "No didn't go that far down, I tell you i get lost in her eyes - " he broke off with a small scream as the door swung open and he came face to face with Fex, well not Fex his goat but someone like him, or maybe him only dressed up for a party.

"Someone is ready for a party" he squeaked, eyes unable to leave his Fex.

Quote:

"Lost in her eyes? Mate, you should check out her long legs," Max grinned and wondered why Fabian suddenly screamed like a woman. Then he saw Fex - rainbow colors, red mohawk and his eyes shielded with sunglasses. "Oh, man . . . sure hope you have enough goat shampoo."

Quote:

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Blimey i sure hope so Max!" Fabian shook his head, he was sure his face was still masked with horror, "I told him to stay away from that hound, messed his mind that did" he took a few steps closer then took half a circle around his goat.

"Oh Lyra" he groaned, "and Agie. What have you done" he continued to bite out, those two minxes were in trouble for playing this on Fex. He brought a hand closer to rub the goat's skin, and pixie powder stuck to his finger, his lips turned into a growing grin as he looked at Max, "nothing water can't wash off. Smart girls.. thing Mac will the idea of Fex in sunglasses giving her the chocolates?"

Quote:

Originally Posted by Max

"Good idea," Max laughed and wondered if Macadrian would be offended by the presence of Fex. "But I think you should first confront Lyra and Agie about this prank on a harmless goat."

Quote:

Originally Posted by Fabian

"I don't know" Fabian replied patting his hand against his trouser to remove any dust remaining on his fingers and palm. "I've got two reasons to not confront them now, the first is that by the time I find them, Macadrian would have finished grading and left the staff room. The second, is that those two minxes might trail us and end up knowing about Macadrian" he furrowed his brow as he ended the line, "next thing you know their painting her office".

Quote:

Originally Posted by Max

"We bring the evidence to the feast," Max said and looked at poor Fex. "After confronting the troublesome two-some, then you talk to Macadrian. Besides, a multi-colored mohawked goat is a great conversation starter."

Quote:

Originally Posted by Fabian

Fabian quirked a brow at Max, he was still hesitant, but painting a creature was beyond comprehension and those two girls need to be addressed. "Alright, confront the girls then find Macadrian" he surrendered then pointed a finger at Fex, "you ought to not leave my toe for the remainder of the night. Or I'll ban you from visiting that hound friend of yours".

Quote:

Originally Posted by Max

"Let me arrive at the feast before you appear with Fex in tow," Max said as he scratched his chin. "I'll get the guilty party together at the Gryffindor table. Sound good?"

Quote:

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Sure Max, you go ahead. Fex is a slow walker, by the time we reach the Great Hall you should have enough time to nail those two witches" he grunted, he was sure he needed to keep an eye on the goat while they walked. Just in case he started licking or sniffing at the colorful dust.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Max

"Okay, then" Max grinned and headed back out of the office. "If you want, I can keep Macadrian occupied while you deal with the troublesome twosome. Perhaps keep her distracted." It was at that moment that he knew exactly how to distract her and help Fabian woo the leggy professor.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Fabian

"Um" Fabian gulped, he wasn't sure what Max had in mind, " sure, if its taking long distract away Max!" he walked out of this after him shiftily eying Fex as he followed. Honestly, he didn't look too bad with the sunglasses, he only looked too cool.

I usually don't do that but I had fun during that moment

Now he needed to find a way to hide himself without them knowing he was around. Noticing a bag near him, he climbed in it but accidentally touched one of them (Kerry). Covering himself with what was left in it, he stop move hoping nobody will have noticed he was there.

Anna nodded down to the paper bag, hoping Kerry would take notice.

Suddenly Kerry felt something brush up against her leg. She swore it felt furry, and it made Kerry shriek as she jumped out of her seat!!

As she jumped, she felt someone give her a tap on the shoulder which freaked her out anymore. Kerry let out another scream, and turned to see it was just Anna. "Oh, I'm sorry." she said breathlessly. "I swore I felt something creep along my leg. Did you see it? What was it?" Kerry asked scrambling around to see if there was something creepy crawly around her.

"Erm....the...bag...," Anna whispered, trying to draw Kerry's attention to the bag on the floor.

Curt scanned the area around her and didn't see anything so he just shrugged before facing the Professor once again. Sadly, he knew very little about merpeople and was quite horrid at dealing with magical creatures all together. He just stared blankly at the Professor, turning around to look at Kerry every now and then.

Curt looked back again in astonishment as the Gryffindor first year pointed out that something was in the bag that was near to Kerry. Curts eyebrows perked up slightly as his first idea was Savannah's cat Tiger, that little monster was always up to trouble. He got up from his seat and walked over to it, "I think I know who this is." Curt said, knealing down next to the bag. "You want to unveil it?" he asked the Gryffindor prefect with a grin, she did seem quite freaked out.

Quote:

Anna squirmed in her seat, looking back and forth between the professor, her prefect, and the...THING. The bag rustled again, and Anna jumped in her seat, knocking a book to the ground with a loud CRASH. Swallowing hard out of nervousness and sinking down into her chair, Anna stared at Kerry, trying to figure out what to do.

Kerry looked down at her bag cautiously. Suddenly it moved on it's own. Kerry jumped back again and gasped. "Did you see that? The bag! It moved! Did anyone see that? There's something in there! My bag is moving!" she cried out, glaring around the room to see who might have put something in her bag.

"I'm not revealing it. If you want something creepy and crawly to jump out at you, by all means go ahead." Kerry said to the Hufflepuff boy. She readied her wand at the bag just in case she needed to stun it in protection of herself or the boy.

A loud CRASH made Kerry jump again. "For the love of...." Kerry began as she turned around flashing her wand behind her. "Oooh, it was just a book," Kerry began to laugh nervously as she realized how silly she was starting to look.

Then, a strange thing happened. The bag near where Kerry had been sitting, moved a little. She blinked and shook her head, thinking it was just an illusion. Right? Well, at least until Kerry had also saw the bag move.

"I saw it, Kerry," the sixth year said quietly.

Anna reached down to pick up her book that had landed near the creature. Kerry was now yelling, and several students had turned around to look. Gwen was going on about kappas, creatures Anna HOPED were not actually in the bag. Peering down for a closer look, Anna waited to see if the...whatever...would come out.

Instead she gazed down at the ground near the Seventh years feet, looking to see if something was down there. Just like afew others, before Kerry said anything, she too noticed the bag moved abit. Not normal, to be honest. Not if the person it belonged to was freaking out.

"Yeah..it moved, your not seeing things Kerry." She spoke up quietly, not sure if that was wise since Professor Clark was teaching but nonetheless. What happened next? It SCREECHED! Ocean blue eyes widened. She knew that screech, it was the same as that crazy monkey from earlier. "I believe its a monkey, and he has taken over your bag." Savannah added, nodding. Better the monkey then the cheetah.

I know there was nothing in that bag but some books, quills and parchment when I got here, so who wants to tell me what they put in here?" Kerry asked as she turned back and focused her wand on the bag.

"A problem?" Kerry laughed, glad that she was finally starting to calm down. "Yeah you can call a screetching, moving bag a problem. Uh oh... Ummm..." Kerry suddenly thought, "You don't think it's one of those animals that has been running around the grounds and castle?"

Kerry bent down a bit closer to her bag, but was cautious not to get to close. "Should I open it Professor?" she asked.

Anna's fingers finally touched the edge of the bag, and she tugged on it just a bit.

Only few things were left with him in there and he didn't mind them. They were a bit comfy after getting the reminding books out. Yawning with satisfaction, he rolled on the side.

"How did a monkey get in my bag.? She wondered aloud.

Turning back towards the front of the class, Kerry shook her head still smirking. "I swear professor I didn't bring a monkey to class! If I had, I would have at least brought some bananas to keep it quiet til I let it loose on the class." Kerry joked trying to make light of the situation.

"So again? Any ideas on what you'd like me to do with this little guy? I'm obviously not opening my bag and letting him free now. It seems we've finally inadvertently captured one of these animals."

Seeing Anna get close to the bag and knowing there was a monkey now inside it. Kerry grabbed Anna and pulled her back. "No don't! From what I've heard this is one grumpy, unfriendly monkey. Trust me, you don't want to lose your nose to this thing."

Anna felt someone's hand on her back, and she looked up in time to see Kerry pulling her away. "Unfriendly?" Anna questioned. She looked back and forth between Kerry and the monkey, waiting to see what would happen next.

Thinking of that, She added "I don't think letting him out is a good idea either; he seems to like it." Vannah motioned to the objects he was kicking out to make space for himself, "And I wouldn't think he wants to make friends, anyways. Except with Professor Clarks boots, maybe." Savannah turned slightly in her seat again, looking back to the front of the class for a moment uncertainly.

Kerry yelled out "You opened my ink bottle all over my bag! Wait til I get my hands on you!" Kerry said, grabbing hold of the handles of her bag and holding them closed so the creature couldn't escape.

Kerry turned towards someone calling Agie's name and laughed. "And why would Agie carry bananas with her?" she asked as she turned towards Agie.

"Agie Rae Brandywine! You wouldn't have anything to do with this would you?' she asked glaring at her prankster of a sister.

Kerry heard Anna shriek and turned back towards her. This class had gone completely chaotic in a matter of minutes. "Yes unfriendly! It scratches and bites, it's one antisocial little thing." Kerry said holding her bag away from her so the monkey couldn't reach her through the bag.

Kerry felt the bag roll in her outstretched hands. "This thing is having a party in here!" Kerry said as she heard munching. "Nooooo!! Not my homework!! The monkey is eating my homework." Kerry sighed, "That took me ages to finish! I can just see it now as I go to hand it in... No really Professor a monkey really did eat my homework!"

Quote:

Kerry had now captured the monkey and was holding it hostage inside her bag. The little monkey was surely putting up a fight, though. It was clawing and moving about in a wild manner. Anna hoped the professor would come and help soon.

You should have been in the class when snakes were accidently set free. I'll take a monkey over a snake any time!" Kerry said trying to cheer Anna up as she held the bag steadily trying to to let the monkey escape.

Kerry wanted so badly to just give the bag a good shake and teach the devious creature a good lesson. But seeing as she was a prefect and had caused a big enough scene in the class already, she just grabbed the handles tighter together and clenched her teeth, doing her best not to go after the squirming creature that had taken sanctuary in her bag.

And, then she did it again! 'G'ah!' He was now, officially frightened of Prefect Brandywine. Until he heard her shriek. He turned around in his seat and watched as a chittering animal that some were saying was a monkey, which one way or another had gotten itself into Kerry's bag, had most of the students as his captive audience. Thank goodness it was only a monkey. He was starting to wonder if it might've been a dark creature snuck into the room by Clark himself to give the students first hand experience.

Oh, she was going to fit right in with his grandmother and aunts.

He turned his head away so that they could talk and he pulled Shadow and the strawberry towards him, "I hope you've got money somewhere in that fur of yours. I think it would be fair if you paid her for her services...hey, she gave you the belly scratch, not me. So it'll be coming out of your fur, sport. Don't give me that look...and no whisker twitching! That doesn't work with me, I'm shocked you even tried."

Shadow sat, watching his owner talk. It sounded like a load of gibberish to him. Too many big words. He twitched a whisker and a ear before returning back to playing strawberry-soccer.

This made Stacey laugh...XD. What can I say? The kid likes his cat.

Stacey: I love those two! hehehe!! I love the whisker twitching

LOL I just wanted to post this here so I wont forget in 6 terms. Garret, the summer before his first year, meets Ariel, the Madam Malkins shopkeeper (played by SCassandraT). She'd just tried to pull Professor Forrester (who can blame her?) but was turned down rather harshly by the man who is smitten with the School Nurse.

Quote:

"Tergio!" She said as she pointed her wand at the boy. "There, all clean. How may I help you lit- Young Man..." she said giving him a look that only said she was humoring him.

Quote:

Garret hovered near the tall, old man and wondered why the shopkeeper was bothering with him, "Wot 'e's trying to say, Miss, is that e's previously engaged." He piped up, trying to help and maybe get her to pay attention to him.

Only him. The Young Man.

Quote:

"Yes... I get that now lit- Young Man." She whiped her tear. Her eyes were read now, second time a customer made her cry today. "I'm all yours, how may I help you sweetheart."

Quote:

Garret watched the pretty lady try to hide her tears and shot an accusing glare at the Old Man, "Now look wot you've done." He could have just let her down easy, but no worries, Garret would be here to make her happy now. He was her sweetheart, after all.

He reached up for her hand with one of his recently cleaned ones and dragged her off to the shelves, "School robes!"

Quote:

"Yes," she sniffled. "School robes." She pulled three sets from the racks and knelt down to fit the little who boy who wanted so badly to be a man. "I'm Ariel, what's your name sweetheart?" she said as she trimmed the robes with her wand.

Quote:

Garret held his arms straight out as she worked on his robes, her little sniff reminded him of his mother sometimes, and how he'd find her working on some darning late at night, crying over something. He figured, the best thing he could do was help her think of something else.

"Me name's Garret," he paused, frowning slightly, "But..." he blushed, "You can call me sweetheart..."

Looking down at his feet now, he felt like shoving his foot down his mouth, "If you like..."

Quote:

"Awww," she cooed. She took his little face in her hands and kissed his cheek, lingering there a moment. Pulling away she smiled through her tears and said, "How's about I call you 'Garrett Sweetheart,' " she said plainly. "You would have taken me to dinner if you were him, wouldn't you have?" she said continuing to adjust the robes on the boy.

Quote:

His face as red as ever now, Garret nodded eagerly, "Oh yes, and I wouldn't worry about that old duffer, if I were you Ariel."

Lord his arms were getting tired from being held out this way, but he'd endure it for her, "You're too pretty for the likes o' 'im."

Quote:

"Awww, you are so sweet." She took him in her arms and hugged him to her. She held then smiled and said "You know what? When you turn of age, you come back here, and we'll have us a date. Ok?" She said standing back up. "Now... the robes look really nice on you luv, that's 9 gal- You know what? Can you let me take a few photos? You will be our poster boy, and you can have the robes for free. How's that. I'm sure the boss won't mind."

"Ehhh, he's what, 80 years old, anyway..." she said.

Quote:

"85, and I'm sure of it." Garret grinned and hopped off the measuring dias to survey himself from every angle in the mirrors, his mum would be happy to see that he cleaned up quite well. Well... besides the shaggy hair, but there was nothing to be done about that.

At Ariel's offer to pose for free clothes, he made a face. He didn't really want to look like one of those poncy types, posing and putting on face paint and whatnot. But maybe...MAYBE, she was just pretending cos she wanted to keep a picture of him. And she had said that they would have a date in five years.

Holding a hand out to her, he made up his mind and grinned, "Sorted."

Quote:

"Great! Let me get my camera sweetheart." she said as she summoned her picture taking device. "Ok, now smile for me?" She said as she took a slew of pictures and then grinned. "You are really handsome. You know I'll be jealous once all the girls at school start wanting to be your girlfriend." She winked at him playfull, knowing the boy knew she was teasing him... or did he?"

Quote:

Garret posed reluctantly, however, most of the time, he just had his hands shoved in his pockets while he looked at the camera from under his hair. This was so embarrassing, hopefully neither Heath or Samson saw him. Or anyone else for that matter. But his ears turned red when she told him she thought he was handsome.

"Cor..." he said, scuffing the toe of his already scuffed shoes on the floor, "I wouldn't... well, you know... I...." he coughed, "I hope you'll wait for me?"

Quote:

Ariel's eyes grew wide with suprize. But then her face softed in a sweet loving smile. "Sweetheart of course!"

The boy was really trying to make her feel better. "Of course I'll wait for you, you saved me from the crotchety 85 year old man, I'd much rather wait for our date... don't you forget." She said magically developing the picture. "When you are of age, you come back, and take me out. Don't you make me cry too."

Quote:

Garret grinned, still hiding his eyes under his hair as he was too shy to look at Ariel right then. Hands still in the pockets of his new robes (which Ariel had made for them, he'd never forget that), he hovered around the shop, "I'll be here on my 17th birthday," he promised her, "And I wont make you cry, promise."

Quote:

She grinned wide and squatting down said "Now you tell those other girls that you're taken, and they if they want to kiss you they have to go through your girlfriend!" She giggled. This boy was so sweet to play along with her. "Now give us a kiss and go have fun with your friends." She turned her face do he could kiss her on her cheek.

Quote:

GIRLFRIEND! Garret was shocked, here he was not one day alone by himself in Diagon Alley and he'd pulled one of the most beautiful girls in town! And she wanted him to kiss her too! He stared at her smooth cheek, blushing to the roots of his hair.

Quickly making up him mind before she could change hers, he stole a glance about the shop to make sure it was empty and that Heath and Samson didn't have their faces pressed up against the windows. He leaned forward and dropped a quick, nervous peck on her cheek before dashing for the doors.

"Tara, Ariel Girlfriend!" he called with a grin as he ran out of the shop.

lol, now I see Garret floating through the streets, singing I Can Hear The Bells, from the Hairspray soundtrack

And, here is where the trouble started.

Heathcliff peered back one more time to see his mother still busy with the Eyelop's shop-keeper and unhinged the lock which held the owl's cage closed, freeing "Cecilia" from her gilded prison with a broad smile. It was his first school shopping trip ever and in his excitement, he was determined to enjoy it to the fullest and show off his new acquired objects, especially his owl. Who cared if she escaped...she wouldn't, of course! He was certain she liked him and he had the drop on her anyhow. Oh, happiest of happinesses! He placed Cecilia on his shoulder and stood there for a moment, the perfect picture of 'happy child', glowing with excitement and smiling up a storm.

Little did Ryan know that his giant grey owl's cage had opened, and the owl flew off into the distance, looking for prey. A small child would have to suffice, since it would be too hard to find a rat in all the hubbub.

But, the smiles and excitement didn't last long. In fact, it only lasted about as long as it took Cecilia to grap around the small boys skinny shoulder and begin flapping her wings, which, in turn, attracted another nearby owl. Seeing that one owl obviously had a snack too big for her to finish on her own, the new owl demonstrated the awesome power of teamwork by reaching down and grappling Heathcliff's other shoulder and flapping his great grey wings. The combination of the two large owls' flapping wings created a strong gust of wind, and then there was lift-off as Heathcliff's small feet left the earth. The two owls flapped and flapped until they were soaring far off the ground, the skinny and truly quite nervous Heathcliff in tow, trying not to look down, but unable to help it (his blank expression told of the volumes of confusion he was feeling). They headed straight for the sunset, like a couple of cowboys, carrying Heathcliff with them and disappeared into the wild blue yonder, never to be heard from again.

He's not smitten with the school nurse. Nabsy, have you lost yo' mind, babuh?

It'd be a neat trick, though. $3k galleons to the broad that can tame the beast that lives in the tower.

N: RAWR Can you imagine Forrester going "Nobody is allowed to enter the West Wing!" *fans self* And hey, it seems to me (and G) that the Beast is quite taken with Miss White Shoes...

BWRAHhahaHAha! "It's forbidden!"

What say you to you and I gettin' us a little wager goin'? If by the end of G's 7th term Forrester hasn't bitten what is one Miss White Shoes' hook, Izzy wins, however if at anytime between now and then Forrester decides he likes Miss Numel AND openly gives her a chance, Izzy loses and you and young master Garrett are the winners! Of what? I'm not sure.

*sprays binaca into mouth and goes off to try and sweeten-up Vonnie*

Vondella: Hey! Forrester tried letting the girl down easy. She wouldn't take 'no' as an answer! He was trapped! And now I think it'll get worse with the 3k galleons offer

I'm actually not the first to offer reward for...capture? Remember Aurora? She had an OOC bet going with a friend that she could win Forrester's favour. I'm pretty sure she's given up by now, though. Dat was hillarious!

These poor cats! I saw how they bumped heads over the issue last term. I never saw Forrester as a relationship type, though.

So I hear! I still find it funny though. The rumors will be flying this term!

LOL I've known Vonnie for years *eyes her* She wont bite just so I'd win though... and I'm a Hufflepuff, not a Gryffindor! I wont take that bet! lolol I'd nudge the ship along though

Cass: Hahahaha I'd just like to say with regards to Ari and Eddie that at this point I don't trust any of ya'll hehehe *hides Ari* teehee

He looked at her as he then spoke." remind me not to surprise you with a birthday present... i might loose something." he teased as he gave her a smile. he nodded as he got more comfortable after the loudness had stopped." Yeah. i cant wait to get out of school. its a drag." he said in all honestly."except for a few classes. i could take them for ages." he watched her as she moved closer to him and farther way from the other prefect.." should i sit between you two?" he asked. it might be safer for the boy at least. He smiled at her as he nodded,"yeah. i saw you last year a little, but nothing to in depth. Im a seventh year slytherin. green, silver.. house cup two years in a row." Pwned.

Anna felt her teeth grinding together again as she looked at the boy with a smirk on her face. "Well," she started, a nice, evil tone in her voice. "It's a shame the luck can't continue for your seventh and final year at Hogwarts. Don't worry, though, I'm sure seeing the Great Hall draped in scarlet your last day at Hogwarts won't scar you too bad," she finished.

Now, then. She felt satisfied.

But why in the world was she arguing with yet another boy?

Instead of continuing the conversation, she opted for the whole "arm on window ledge with face resting in palm" thing again.

Oh, wait. She forget to huff out a nice sigh.

Sigh....

Oh, no. This guy had NOT just offered to loan her some of his students? What a jerk.

"You think we need some of your students?" she asked, a sarcastic smile painted across her bewildered face. Who did this boy think he was? "You can keep your students, Moonson. The only thing better than beating a few snakes is beating an entire house of them."

Prefect, Anna....PREFECT.

"Josh, I do apologize for my sudden...outburst," she said, plastering a smile upon her face. "My father is a Slytherin," she explained, hoping that would break the ice a little. "Friends?"

"when im done with Hogwarts im thinking France. That or just sorta see where life goes. Not quite sure yet. More worried about that when the time comes sort of thing. Fly by the seat sort of fun." he told her as he was leaning towards France. their were loads of things that he liked there.

"Basilisks, hmm?" she questioned, looking at him with a confident smirk on her face. "Yes, we should just throw out nature as we know it, since we have oh, so many basilisks roaming around. They're everywhere," she sarcastically continued, trying to point out the fact that basilisks were very rare creatures and shouldn't be cause to throw away all known theory. "Besides, I sort of like the little poof at the end of the tail."

"France...that sounds nice. I'm nowhere near close to deciding where I'd like to go. Flying by the seat does sound rather appealing, though," she said with a laugh.

"And no, if you must know, I wasn't planning on stalking you. I was, however, asking you if you'd ever like to hang out at Hogwarts. You know, if the basilisks don't decide to eat me first," she said with a smile.

Im positive they love lions.... especially the one with the extra poofy tail." he smirked as he stood from his seat." well miss lion lady of the poofy tail region.. im afraid i must depart. i need to talk to someone. It was pleasure to meet you, and you cale." he said smiling." I'll see you two later. excuse me." he smiled at mons as he waved." see you later." he mouthed to her as he headed out of the compartment.

he made his way out and down the hallway as he then saw that certain ravenclaw." How are you? lurking around for any particular reason?"
he asked rhiannon.

The next time I decide to go hiking in the plumbing, I'll remember that Josh Moonson told me to bring my handy dandy handbook," she said, shaking her head playfully and laughing along.

"Nice talking with you," she said, as she saw him get up to leave. "See ya around..."

I don't usually post here but much drama in the front of the train, that I have to save these posts

She found it unfair to get ahead than everyone else her age. She wouldn't need to use magic anyway if she were to travel. She would be around muggles, magic wasn't necessary. That was, if dreams of traveling were realized. And she'd learn of this muggle CIS thing, or whatever it was called, maybe some other muggle would know about it too. And, she'd be able to stick it to him that she knew what it was.

Whatever she'd planned to say, whatever she'd meant to reply, whatever she'd been thinking or meant to do or whatever required a brain to function; it went blank. He was holding her hand. He was holding her hand!! And Merlins did it feel nice. His grip fit hers, and his hands were warm, or maybe she was just cold. Whatever it was, it felt wonderful.

She couldn't reply anymore, but thankfully, smiling didn't require much thinking, and after half a second of staring, she smiled up at him a touch shyly, and much much happily.

Anyway, gossip usually found it's way to Amelia and that wouldn't be good at all. Or would it? It would make thier relationship worse, but something told him that it might make things better somehow. He didn't know. All he knew now was that he liked being with Lindsey. That was all that was on his mind right now. Lindsey.

He looked deeply into Lindsey's light brown eyes. There were filled with happiness and they twinkled just like his ocean blue eyes were right now. He was happy, even though he had feelings for another. Or did he? Lindsey was so distracting. He liked it. A lot. He smiled at her brightly and couldn't take his eyes off of her. She was perfect. She was everything he could have wanted. All he had to do was tell her what he was feeling, but something was stopping him from doing so. Something he couldn't ignore. Something he wished would go away. It was his conscience. You know. Mia won't be too happy to see this if she was here, he conscience echoed. Shut up. She said she couldn't do it. She said that we could be just friends. She moved on, he argued back. It's time to move on.

Finally reaching the front of the train, the seventh year slowed her pace to peer into each compartment, looking for an empty one. Or with some familiar face in there. But then she saw in one the last person she really wanted to see right now. Tancred.

Cautiously looking into the open door she blinked as she saw something she thought her eyes were deceiving her. Tancred was not alone, but instead he was sitting next to the rather attractive Lindsey Hamilton. And holding her hand! She could have killed him right there, but instead she felt herself losing consciousness.

Before she could help herself, there was a soft thud as the 5'7 seventh year hit the floor of the compartment. Fainted...

It was a simple picture of the outside of her house. She looked at it fondly and a little twinge of homesickness shot through her gut. Not for the people so much as for the building itself. She always missed the little cottage when she was away from it. It was the best thing about coming home. Her little room in the attic, the vines creeping up the sides, the huge tree covering the left side. It was her favorite place in the world.

She was just starting to absorb herself when she heard a thump from outside the compartment door. She looked up in alarm at Tancred and the girl to see if they had heard. Then she stood up and walked to the door. Laying on the floor was a girl. She was surprisingly like Elodie herself, what with the red hair. But shaking this thought out of her head Ella knelt down next to her, frantically trying to figure out what to do. She glanced back at the others desperately looking for help. Grabbing the girls arm she shook her, "Wake up!" She said stupidly.

Either way, he went to the front and didn't even notice where his feet were carrying them.

As he was walking by a compartment full of Hufflepuffs (one of whom looked familiar), he felt a thud, and suddenly, there were only three. Hadn't there just been four? He peeked through the window and noticed that one was unconscious on the floor! He knocked on the window and mouthed "does she need help?"

I have no idea why though.." She trailed off, still trying to figure out what to do. The girl was just laying there. She figured she should slap her or something.. but the idea of hitting a girl she didn't know seemed some how wrong.

"So...erm...what should we do for her? Fan her? Anyone want to pour water on her face?"

And then he looked down. It was Amelia, the Hufflepuff prefect! She was the one he had met outside of Dresden's office last term! That was when he turned into a tiger or whatever it was. But....she wasn't wearing her badge. Maybe she had just forgotten to put it on.

It was a perfect moment that he never thought he would live in. It was amazing. Perfect. Heavenly. It was every thing he could have ever wished for. That was until ...

He heard a soft thud in the compartment. He wanted to continue staring at Lindsey, but he wanted to know where the heck that thud came from. He took a few moments to look at her and then looked around the compartment. When his eyes reached the floor, he was shocked and confused. Mostly confused. How in Merlin's beard did she show up? When did she show up? Why now?

He looked at Lindsey. He gave her a look of puzzlement and blinked. His heart was beating quicker than it ever had in his entire life. What should I do? he mouthed out to her. He honestly didn't know what to do. This was the first time in his life that he was in a serious sticky situation. He didn't want to stop gazing in Lindsey's eyes. He didn't want her to be upset. He didn't want to just leave her there. He didn't want her there to ruin whatever he was feeling. What should I do?! he thought over and over in his head. He didn't know what to do. He stared at her with eyes so wide that it looked like his eyes could pop out at any moment.

And they were twinkling back at hers, showing she wasn't the only one that was happy, even if she'd fallen utterly silent. She squeezed his hand lightly herself, almost in gratitude.

It was then that something happened behind her, although Lindsey might never make sense of what had happened. The scare, however, caused her to move closer to Tanc without even thinking about it. There was someone just lying on the floor there. And-- was that... Amelia?!

"Oh--God!" she gasped, barely making it out. She glanced back at Tancy without even ordering her head to do anything, maybe for reassurance that there was no reason to worry. He, however, looked just as shocked and puzzled as she. That didn't help.

'Stop panicking!' she thought quickly. What was she supposed to do when someone... well what was wrong with her? She looked like she'd.. fainted? Her muscles refused to move, maybe because she was still clinging to Tancy's hand, and maybe because it wasn't only his hand that was warm, and she was comfortable closer to him.

"What's wrong with her? What happened?" she asked the two that were surrounding Amelia, panic still keeping her from moving. Panic had never gotten to her before... how odd...

With a girl laying on the floor at her feet, reason unknown. A complete stranger the only one helping her. The ones she barely knew, were just watching in shock. She looked up at the boy who had walked in. "Do you want to try the water.." She paused trying to recall his name, then realized she didn't know it. "I'm sorry, who are you again?" She laughed a little at, this was definitely an odd way to meet someone.

He looked down at Amelia. The fanning didn't seem to be working as much as he had hoped. "Well, I'm not doing underage magic on a 7th year, AND a prefect, so I'll go get some water from a sink or something."

With that, he exited the compartment and went to the men's room. As he entered, he noticed that he was getting a bit scruffy again. He'd need to shave soon. But he pushed that to the back of his mind.

He rummaged around for a cup, and once he found one, filled it with water. Carefully, he made his way back to the compartment (so as not to spill the water). He opened the door again and said, "Got some water."

He was nervous about pouring water on a prefect's face, but considering he was unconscious, he figured she wouldn't mind it. She might even thank him. He poured the water on her face, thinking, here goes.

He continued to sit there, holding Lindsey's hand tighter. He didn't want to leave her for her, but he didn't want to leave Lindsey for her. He didn't know what to do, so he just sat there the way he was. Frozen. His heart was still beating faster than ever, his eyes still opened wide. This couldn't be happening! It just couldn't.

His Daffodil let out a loud "HONK!" to get people's attention. "Pardon me!" He pushed a hufflepuff (Elodie) out of the way. "Prefect Coming through!" "Honk!"

He ducked under the arm of another Ravenclaw and caught the sight of a Captain's badge to find Amelia on the floor. "Hey! What happened?" He looked around to find the Hufflepuff prefect nearby.

"Honk!"

Despite being unconscious she was sure that eyes were peering at her and the sheer embarrassment of the situation was to come after she awoke. Who would see her on the ground? Fainted. She never fainted before except once and to think it was over a boy and a little jealousy.

And then she felt it. Water over her other cheek - the one that was up towards the ceiling. Eyes flickered slightly but she remained still unconscious - in another world.

She looked up at Ryan as he came back to the compartment. She was a little wary, now that she knew she was a prefect, but despite that she said "Okay. Do you want to pour it on her?"

"She fainted," she replied. "I don't know why or how but she fainted about... a minute ago. And we poured water on her, and she won't wake up," she said it in a bit of a rush. She was still holding onto Tancy tightly, as if knowing he was still holding her hand kept her away from her own panic breakdown. It truly was the oddest thing that she could not think properly in a situation such as.

Stories from when he was younger filled Cale's 5th year old mind. "Oh I know," he said after a moment shifting his pot in his arms. "Someone's gotta kiss her to wake her up." The four people standing around looked at him like he had sprouted flowers out of his ears. "What? Haven't any of you read the story about the Fainting Witch? Common -who's going to kiss her?" He looked back and fourth between the two older Wizards neither of which look to eager to do it. "Alright Finnnnneee," Cale sighed shoving his precious honking daffodil into the hands of the Ravenclaw Captain (who he figured would be the most qualified and careful with his dear dear plant!) and then dropped to his knees next to the crumpled girl. He leaned over and -

He wrapped his arm around Lindsey to give her some extra comfort and to stop her from jumping like she had. He needed some comfort too. Especially when she regained consciousness. He didn't have a good feeling about this.

Even though he had a bad feeling about this, he still held on to Lindsey. His eyes were still widened and, besides the movement he had just mad, he was still petrified by what had just happened. Questions where buzzing through his head. What happened? Why is this happening? And what was this Ravenclaw fellow doing here asking what had happened? What was he doing to her?!

"Huh? What? You!" she spoke in scattered sentences, wishing that what she thought just happened didn't. It couldn't have; but yet it was though there was nothing else around them. All she could see now was those brown eyes peering into hers...

She shrugged, and watched incredulously as he leaned over her.

But then she stuttered awake, and Elodie's already-large eyes widened even more. It actually worked! She let out a small laugh of relief and turned to look at Ryan, raising her eyebrows.

She must've wanted it like that.

He turned his head to Lindsey, his arm stilled wrapped around her. He put his other arm around her and looked into her eyes. His conscience was getting back into the picture now. Don't do it! Just don't! She isn't what you really want! DON'T! Tancred rolled his eyes and argued back, Shut up! You don't know what I want! He looked at her and smiled. He leaned toward her and kissed her like she was the only thing in this entire world that he wanted. He held her tight and kissed her better than he had ever kissed anyone before.

"What the? Okay, Hold it!" he said, stepping in and pointing down at the boy.

He didn't notice the badge until after he had done so. The new prefect was... surely not a Juno.

Tancred didn't do anything, because they were fighting.

Amelia gets kissed, Tancred gets jealous.

So, he takes revenge by kissing Lindsey.

It was almost as good as a soap opera. Elodie waited until Amelia noticed what Tancred was doing. Although, suddenly, she wasn't so sure she wanted to be here anymore. She didn't want to be a witness to Amelia getting hurt. Some how, she was affectionate toward the older girl. Maybe it was the whole 'trying to help her out' thing. Taking care of her almost. Not that she had ended up being much help...

"And you'll scare - Rob-" and it was too late his plant started honking it's head off.

"Honk, honk, honk-edy-honk!"

She was suddenly turned around by Tanc's hand, and she was staring right back into those blue eyes. He was telling her something, she didn't know what, but he was telling her something. And it was stopping her brain from thinking at all. And suddenly, he smiled, and it caused her to smile. She liked being held like this. It reminded her--

And again, her brain stopped. Her eyes had closed without even thinking about it, and she'd melted into Tancy's embrase. If she had been excited over holding his hand, then a kiss was sure to mean she would faint. But she didn't, and she treasured the moment. She was getting kissed by Tanc, and what was a few seconds, felt like a few years. And it felt wonderful, this heavenly little feeling accompanied by a twingle in her stomach. It felt so utterly wonderful.

But her eyes eventually fluttered open and she pulled away, breathless and shocked. She'd never-- he hadn't-- she couldn't--- She was shocked. Not complaining, but utterly shocked. She hadn't thought he felt that way about her.

All the people in here were just too much for her and then she heard the familiar voice from the stands during Ravenclaw quidditch games. She didn't know him, but he was ... nosy, that's what he was.

"I've got more than a headache," she said smiling as Cale stood up to stand by the doorway. She was slightly disappointed that he had glanced away from her but now she could face the matter at hand.

Standing up, perhaps too quickly, she turned to look at Tancred. "You really know how to kick a girl when she's down, don't you?" she said fiercely shaking her head at him.

And with that, she picked her messenger bag and owl cage off the floor and pushed her way to the door, storming off to go find a quieter compartment. She needed Savannah right now; that girl would know what to do.

"A prefect who hates being touched and now one that goes and kisses older girls. What will they give us next..." he said mostly to himself.

He almost didn't hear that she was yelling at him. I really know how to kick a girl when she's down? he thought quickly. You're the one that broke up with me! "Sure. Whatever," he shouted. "You're the one that broke up with me. Remember? ... So don't say that I know how to kick a girl when she's down! You know how to kick a guy when he's down!"

He felt like standing up and chasing after her to yell some more, but he stayed where he was. He didn't want to leave Lindsey. What he had said was enough. He watched as she stormed out of the compartment. "There's something for you to think about!" he shouted after her.

He looked back at Lindsey and gave her a 'I'm sorry you had to see that' look.

Oh God, she was rebound! He was jealous, that's why he'd kissed her! And suddenly, the moment was might as well beyond ruined. It was disaster. She pulled her hand away from his, looking at him in disbelief and accusation. She was rebound. She was rebound to Amelia, and he had kissed her because she'd gotten kissed first. Was this how selfish this boy was?

"Why did you kiss me," she demanded, alarmed. She feared the answer. She really liked Tancy. Had he kissed her because she was the nearest girl he had?

And then something startled her. The sound of a sweet voice talking to her and she recognized that the girl had been in the compartment. Oh no! Here comes the shame! "Look, i don't mean to be obvious, but that is being nosy," she replied, half sarcasm in her tone. Oh that was no way to treat another student who was innocent in this; honestly where are your manners? "Eek! Sorry, I didn't mean that. Yea I'm fine... just need some quiet I think. You can come with if you like," she suggested openly, walking down the hall to nowhere really.

And I think I'll end it there... more on the Tanc/Mia/Lindsey soap opera coming soon ...

Ari's entrance into the compartment with Lexi, Vannah, Mia and others

Not knowing where Vannah or anyone else of the gang was, she poked her head in compartments, looking for anyone she knew. For what seemed like minutes she walked, stopping every few feeet, shaking her head and moving on. Finally, something caught her eye and she grinned. Walking quickly, she stopped in front of the closed compartment, a wide grin creasing her face as she heard Vannah's voice.

Wanting to be dramatic, she threw open the door, leaned againt it casually andcalled out, "Who ordered a medium pizza from Pizza Hut?" in a loud obnoxious voice before breaking into a fit of giggles. She wiepd the grin off her face and waited for ther reaction.

Amelia couldn't help but laugh over Lexi's confusion with the grown comment. "I knew it and you just might be, the same height as me... how tall are you?" she asked curiously, hoping for a diversion on the next prefect comment. She still wasn't quite in the mood to share that news yet. Might cause shock and horror, of which she had enough fainting one train ride.

She was thankful when Vannah dropped the discussion, but knew she'd have to tell her later. Without so many witnesses around. Although if Lex pursued the issue more, then who knows what would happen. "Thank you," she murmured quietly, gazing at monkey boy and Lex now.

A puppy? That seems awfully sweet of Lex, but for some reason she had this feeling that there was more to their relationship than let on. However she wasn't about to start the issue because one, she couldn't deal with relationships right now, and two, she didn't want to argue more than needed.

The seventh year was thankful at the introduction of her name to another student. "Hi Ella, nice to meet you," she replied in gesture to Vannah's comments.

And then her head turned suddenly with the dramatic entrance of another familiar voice. "Pizza? Where!? I'm starved!" she exclaimed without looking up. Upon looking up though she saw the familiar face of the brunette Ravenclaw. "Ariana Castior! Not nice. Did you actually bring food?" she teased.

"Hey Ella. How have you been?" Lex said the girl she had met back in Diagon Alley. She seemed really friendly.

Looking from Fred to Ariel Lex wondered if Fred liked the pup he hadn't said anything which made her nervous. As he looked straight into her eyes she looked back down at the pup. She didn't like people staring right at her especially him...it was kinda weird. Plus he wasn't saying anything. "Erm....Frederic. Do you like her?" She said in a quite voice.

Alexis shrugged at Savannah. She was only trying to help, but she knew the other girl was right. "You right. Anyways I have better things to do with my time. Like to plan you're wedding." She muttered under her breathe.
"Lexis?" Lex repeated. Hadn't Vannah stopped calling her that in third year. "No! I'm not Lexis!" She said loudly casting a mad look at Vannah before grinning. She could not stay mad for long.

Turning to Ari Alexis's grin grew. "Me me me! I ordered the pizza! How much will that be?" She said before cracking up. Ari was a loon.

"5'7" Lex said proudly. She was that tall and she was happy about it. She doubted that she'd grow taller though. "Stop trying to change the subject why aren't you Prefect?"

"Join us," Vannah suggested, returning to her seat and set Hippo down on her lap again. Murmuring a quick "Sorry Hippogriff; I know your tired, no more up and down" in response to the tiny things small whimper of protest.

"Wedding?!" She hissed, turning abruptly on Alexis, wide-eyed. Her tone had not gone cold, but maybe..frightened? She had very good hearing, and such a thing was never likely to get past her. "Yes, Lexis! Now lets not change the subject, you are not planning 'my' wedding that does not exsist." Savannah declared quietly, as if that was that.

Luckily for Alexis, someone slid the door open again, causing her attention to turn whether she wanted to let it go or not. Seeing as it was Antwone, she smiled in return "Thankyou!" She mused, before continuing "Thats craziness, you know. I didn't even think I would be asked," The fifth year was still trying to wrap her mind around the whole Prefect thing was real. "Thankyou, though."

So all it takes to get a compartment bursting with good times is a medium pizza from Pizza Hut

The now...imfamous?...fight between Cale Newell and Anna Greingoth upon learning they were the prefects XD

Special thanks to Josh Monsoon for starting the whole convo

Yeah thats right anna." he said as he added."Your a good quidditch player. I saw you both play last year." he said as he smiled. He then nodded as he added," Yeah I'm one of agie's friends. The one she dragged around and tortured of course." he teased. "pleasure to meet you. Your a prefect this year. Congratulations." he told her.

No, there was NO WAY Anna Griengoth was his fellow prefect..."Anna, you're prefect?" he asked, his eyes growing wide as he asked her to confirm this startling turn of events. Oh goodness, if she was the new prefect, his life at Hogwarts had just gotten a lot more difficult.

"You're right...I am the new Gryffindor prefect," she replied, never taking her eyes off Cale. She couldn't wait to see this reaction. "I guess I better put my badge on now. I guess we're...sort of...supposed to," she mumbled, digging through her bag and putting her badge on.

"Yes, I am prefect, Cale. So you better watch out or I'll have to unleash my claws on you," she giggled, holding her hand up in a "cat claw" motion and giving him her evil grin again. This was classic. PERFECT. No wait, this was better than perfect. This was Anna Greingoth letting Cale Newell know that he just got PWNED.

Just then, he remembered something: DUH! You're a prefect too! Show her that two can play at that game!

Cale grinned mischeviously. Oh, she thought she was sooooo cool, with her badge and her little pompous attitude. Well, she hadn't seen anything yet! This was going to wipe that little smirk off her face.

"Oh really?" he asked, smirking at her in return and raising his eyebrows in a taunting sort of way, he reached into his pocket with his good hand, pulled out his badge, and smacked it right on his chest. Ok, so it didn't stick the first time, but he got it to stay on his robes the second time, and he was sure the impact was just as great. "Hate to break it to you, but I'm a prefect too. So you'd better watch your back, or I'll unleash my fangs on you!"

BAM! He was proud of himself for that little comeback. It was time to see Anna Griengoth speechless. This might be one of the proudest moments of his life, and he couldn't keep himself from grinning with excitement.

The second reaction made her sick. She swallowed hard and closed her eyes to stop the dizziness. He'd made her sick. Not because he was prefect, oh no. That didn't bother her as much as the fact he'd just pwned her right back. In front of this seventh Slytherin, might she add. He'd just stuck that stupid little badge right on his chest and sat there like the crup that just ate the pygmy puff. Nevermind the fact that it took him two tries.

Suddenly, her eyes flashed open in anger. She stood up from her seat, looked at him, sat back down, looked at him, then stood back up again.

"Cale!" she yelled at him. "You haven't even BEEN to the school YET! How did you get PREFECT?"

She knew she was yelling, but she didn't care....at the moment.

Then she sat back down and looked around, hoping too many people weren't watching.

"Erm...., ugh...I'm going to be sick," she mumbled.

"Not like it's any of your business," he snapped back, narrowing his eyes and glaring at her, "but, if you MUST know, the Professor's were impressed with my transcript, because believe it or not I've managed to hold all E's while being homeschooled, and there simply were no other candidates for the job!" he exclaimed.

Anna Griength was officially driving him up the wall. She had just made him scream in front of an older student that he barely knew. She was being such a little brat about this whole thing. Who cared if they were both prefects? SHE was the one making a big deal about it. He really didn't see what she had to be mad at him about, really.

Quote:

Perhaps prefects shouldn't argue with one another...

She huffed a huge sigh and slammed her arm down on the window ledge of the compartment, finishing that little fit by resting the side of her face in her palm. Then she looked at Cale, first out of the corner of her eye, then slowly facing him all the way.

"Cale," Anna whispered, not quite having the courage to speak at a normal volume just yet. "I'm sorry, k?"

She left it at that. Just short and to the point. She was a little scared she'd damaged their friendship permanently.

Why did boys have to be so difficult?

Quote:

Cale blinked again, hardly able to believe what he was hearing. Had she just...apologized? Truth be told, he had no idea what they had even been arguing about...but it didn't feel right to be arguing with Anna. They had already done so much of that already. "Um, you're forgiven," he said back to her. No need to be mad at her after she had already apologized, right?

He was still confused. Leaning back in his seat, he rubbed his injured arm as he thought. What had that really been all about?

Girls were strange. That had to be the only explanation.

BanaBatGirl · 06-02-2008, 04:16 AM

Baaahahahahahaha. Rapunzel Ariel Black has met her match in this third year, as everytime they happen upon each other, one behaves like an ice sculpture and the other is apparently a St. Mungo's escapee.

"The captain is not the only person on a team, but, if your team is as good as it was last term, I'm sure you guys will be just fine" Willow said innocently, with an angelical smile on her face, yet there was a mischievous spark on her apple green eyes.

Noticing the little smirk on Rapunzel's smirk, Willow cocked both of her eyebrows at the girl. What was she smirking at, eh? Maybe Rapunzel had finally lost it. Maybe the girl's imagination was allowing her to see things that weren't even there. It wouldn't be long until Rapunzel started to yell at her for no apparent reason. Oh, and of course, lets not forget the tears. Willow could still remember Rapunzel's eyes being dangerously bright last term, after the Hufflepuff had yelled at her.

Now the question was, why was Willow always there to witness the whole thing, eh? Was this some kind of punishment that the Gods were sending her for making fun of someone that was mentally unstable and of the person's Quidditch team? Probably.

Stupid Karma.

From the Opening Feast, Lord Borr to Kingston and Iggy.

Quote:

Lord Borr curled his sausage sized finger towards himself, beckoning young Mr. Wendleworth towards him. "Come here, my boy. I'll let you in on a secret. Come here, don't be shy - that's what they are over at the girls' school - shy babies. Be a man and come here. Let Lord Borr thrust some knowledge upon you, give you some perspective, and teach you a lesson." Lord Borr patted his knee and welcomed Mr. Wendleworth to sit upon it like a grandson might be beckoned to his grandfather.

OHNOES! Borr found himself a protege in Kingston! Hahahaahahhaha Be scared, Kingsy, old boy!

Quote:

Before he could get Kingston settled though, there was another young man at his side. Lord Borr truly was very busy and very important. "Son, I'm sorry to hear that. But you know what I like to hear? You know what I'm hearing? I'm hearing ALL GOOD THINGS! I hear you all wanting better! THE BEST! I LIKE IT!" Lord Borr had the manic spitting again. "Professor Branxton! These boys want SILK napkins!"

*gasps* Hypocrite! lol He just told Kingston to build a table!

Quote:

Lord Borr jerked Mr. Wendleworth down to sit on his knee anyway. He offered his other knee, father figure and role model extraordinairre that he was, to Mr. Potter. "Let me tell you boys something. And you listen good. You don't have to settle for anything! Ever! If you thrive to be great and find yourself a good role model to follow behind," Lord Borr reached his hand up to snap his suspenders and insinuate himself, "you can truly BE an important person! With your silk napkins! WITH GOLD NAPKINS!" Lord Borr ruffled little Mr. Wendleworth's hair. "It might interest you to know that I, Lord Borr, was a Hufflepuff in my day. And look at me! TRULY GET A GOOD LOOK BOYS! I am great. I am important. And if you stick with me, you might follow suit!" After another phlegmy breather, he continued, "Why if I were you I'd be out back in the forest right now! Cutting down trees and fashioning myself a THRONE worthy of me!" These boys were obviously not up to what he had been as boy - but with his help - they could be.

Bless them, one and all.

I DIED! He was a Hufflepuff! LOLOL Is this supposed to be encouraging? lol I do love the man, I do, but oh MAN this post made me laugh so hard!

Quote:

"Sure, my young man. Go sit back at your table and eat up. Too skinny and scrawny for my likings, and if you ever want to court a young woman - you need to grow some! Go! Sit! EAT! And I will see you, Mr. Wendleworth in my lounge later. You too," Lord Borr pointed at the Prefect boy. He did not extend the invitation to Mr. Potter.

O_O
I LOVE! Hahahaha Wonder what he has planned for his shiny new protege?

Low: I am... very frightened. *stares*

"It smells like babies in here." Babies. Yes. That was it. This whole place reminded him of babies! And their plastic diapers! And baby gates and no-touching and safety locks on all the doors!

I just about died.

Aww, This makes me just want to pat his fluffy head.

His spotted skink, Skid, was a rather poor dinner-date.

"Who's Rapunzel?," Con eyed Ryan curiously. Was this boy some sort of Romeo? He must be, if he was on a first-name basis with the opposite sex.

Maxilocks · 06-07-2008, 05:35 AM

I would have posted the entire conversation, but it gets a little controversial and, well, I don't like that.

So just the outlines. ^_____________^

Wow. Shel had not expected such a . . . well, such a different response. His mood seemed to lift by quite a number of degrees.

"I can understand," he told Jason, when the boy said he was frustrated. "Just look at the state of our table." As if to justify his point, he motioned to all the splintered seats. "Maybe the Minister was bit by a cat who's owner's cousin's sister's guardian's neighbour's hamster's owner was a Gryffndor, when he was younger," he said, trying not to grin.

That was so Shel - even with the no-knife and no-proper seats, he was getting into his humouring element, again.

He wanted Sarah!

NOW.

Shel nodded, quite seriously. "Yeah, you never know what he might do, and when," he agreed. "Wait - doesn't that make him a ghost of sorts?"

Ghosts reminded him of tooth fairies, for some reason.

And tooth fairies reminded him of - Sarah, duh.

He wanted Sarah.

NOW.

He stabbed at a shred of lettuce with what he guessed was a spoon because, clearly, they were not getting any knifes anytime soon. Not knifes that could actually do something that normal knifes did, anyway.

What a great, great day, eh?

"Didn't some kid have a pillow earlier? Do you think we'd all get in trouble if we did that?" he wondered aloud. It would be just like Borr or another Minstry Approved staff member to make up a silly rule like that just to dock points off of Gryffindor.

Quote:

How could he forget Sarah, you know?

- Yes, he was quite insane, thank you.

He nodded at Cale's question. "That was Joe," he said, motioning towards the guy he had exchanged introductions with, five or ten minutes ago. "I don't think it would be wise, though. Lots of pillows would bring unwanted attention here. But," he added suddenly. "It's going to be fun. Worth the risk, perhaps."

He did NOT want Gryffindor to lose more points.

He wanted Sarah.

And a pillow.

And the lettuce tasted like margarine.

Wha-?

That's when he looked up at Neo. "Perhaps . . . well, you do have a lot of space and green grass...." He stopped because he was unsure of how to proceed.

He was taking another drink of coffee when Max looked at him, what he was stating was confusing Neo. "Yes, I do know that I have a lot of space and grass...I monitor these grounds. Why are you stating the obvi..." He paused for a second and that's when it all clicked into place.

"No," he said quickly. "Not going to happen."

"One good lesson and perhaps I can convince the Ministry to lift the charms on the Pitch. Please, Neo."

Neo stared hard at Vindictus over his glasses, listening to everything he said he would do. Wow, this man was desperate...it was rather sad. He sighed lightly, "Alright, alright...just...stop begging..it's weird." He put his coffee down and leaned against the counter.

"One class," he held up a finger. "You have my permission to use an area of the grounds. Don't worry about putting a charm over the grass, I'm sure they won't be able to do that much damage in one, well supervised class," he eyed Max. "Oh and, keep them as far away from the Flower Garden as possible."

hehehe it made me laugh.... Poor flying instructor

BanaBatGirl · 06-09-2008, 06:00 AM

As the rest of the school adjusts/whines about conditions at the Opening Feast, a few ~~nutty~~ fantastic Hufflepuffs decide to make the best of what they've been given.....

NOT.

But still, maybe the positive thinking would help. For a little while. And why not practice now?

"Rule-breaking?" Punzle replied to Vannah, her large, green eyes wide and innocent. "I do declare, I don't believe I've every broken a rule in my life. That would be incredibly rude." Rapunzel tsk-tsked like the Queen of England finding an undissolved lump of sugar in her tea. "Prefect Mae, I certainly hope you will report any rule-breaking to the appropriate authorities," she continued in a polite tone. "And I will help you with this most noble of tasks....if the need arises, of course."

She smiled daintily at Vannah, secretly wondering how long she could keep this act up.

Quote:

Still trying to behave as a goody-goody, Rapunzel nodded along to Savannah's speech. "That is just too true," she remarked, not really about anything in particular. "Observation is just step one.....of good, polite behavior, I mean," she added slowly. If anyone looked close enough, they would notice the shifty sparkle in Punz's green eyes. But on the surface, she just seemed to be rather.....well-behaved, for a change.

Quote:

"Why helloooooo my dear sister how are you doing?" Jasmine sqeezed herself onto the bench next to Punz and gave her a small hug.

"I'm sooooooo glad that I found you again!" she said cheerfully with a small wink in Punzle's direction. "Our situation is very different this term, isn't it?"

"How do you do it?" Tracy found herself blurting out. Staring deep into the girl's eyes, she sensed a double standard and raised an eyebrow. "Keep calm while you're practically falling off your chair as we speak?" Tracy inquired and kept her eyes locked on the girl.

"Jasmine, my dearest, favorite sister! How absolutely loooovely to see you again," she said cheerfully, patting her sis on the back as she sat down. "Oh yes, I have a feeling this term shall be most interesting. And very educational, too." She took a sip of pumpkin juice to hide the crooked smile that was threatening to break out on her face at any moment.

As she sipped her juice, Rapunzel nearly did burst into giggles when another girl addressed her. Recovering quickly and swallowing her drink, Rapunzel turned politely to face the other Puff.

"I beg your pardon, Miss.....?" she inquired with wide eyes. "What ever do you mean? You see," she patted the bench briefly, "I believe we are sitting on splintery old benches, not chairs....and I don't recall falling off of anything..." Punz trailed off again, the corner of her mouth definitely twitching now. This was going to be too much fun, if only she could tolerate herself for much longer.....

Quote:

Unless that is, the girl was as oblivious as the rest of the people surrounding them. She winced as the girl called her "miss" but continued to stare at her in awe.

"How cheeky..." she mumbled under breath as the girl finally responded. "You see..." she mocked, continuing the girl's little game. "It's called a figure of speech and I do believe I said practically," she added, trying very hard to see behind the girl's twisted answers.

"You can grin if you'd like," she added, with a confused expression on her face. This girl seemed to be playing a hidden game and was most definitely enjoying it. Did she know more than she was letting on? "That look isn't very appealing," she concluded, holding a finger up to the edge of her own lips as if to further explain.

"Oh! A figure of speech! How delightful of you to vary your sentence structure!" Rapunzel grinned, feeling it appropriate to let out a smile now. "What look, dear? Shall I get our my compact and take a look?" Rapunzel reached down into her Chudley Cannons bag - realizing a bit too late that her dirty, patched bag probably broke 500 hundred rules on its own - and pulled out a little mirror. Glancing briefly at her reflection and smiling devilishly, she closed it quickly and turned back to the girl.

"I'm afraid I just don't understand," Punz continued blondely. "I didn't notice anything in my teeth....and my face looks perfectly normal to me...." Oh this was just too grand. Perhaps she was overdoing it? A bit?

When Punz pulled out her compact Jasmine decided to join in on the fun. "Oh my dear sister I do beleive you have some food on your dear little nose!"

Jasmine used to napkin to wipe the "food" off of her sister's nose and then she "coughed" into her napkin to keep from laughing. Oh this was just too much fun!

Tracy leaned back in her chair slightly, letting out a low laugh. This girl was far too amusing. She was also a bit obnoxious but Tracy couldn't help but keep the conversation going. It seemed rather childish but something about the girl made it clearly evident that she was no fool. It was as if the girl was venting in her own special way. If only she could make sense of it. Tracy was in no manner used to such people-- such happy go lucky attitudes. However, perhaps this was the only way to go for the time being. Who knew? Maybe she'd find logic in the actions of such an inane girl.

As the girl took out her compact, Tracy shook her head and an smiled awkwardly. "My mistake then, perhaps it's the lack of light in this corner of the Great Hall," she replied, nodding accordingly. "Tracy Lindh," she added, holding out her hand for the girl to shake. "Will you teach me of your upbeat ways?" she asked teasingly, raising an eyebrow. Tracy wondered how much longer until the girl would finally quit the silly act and secretly hoped that the girl wouldn't. It was quite a refreshing change.

"Oh thank you ever so much, Jasmine darling," Punz answered her sister, patting her nose delicately. They both knew darn well that Rapunzel was NOT a messy eater and had no food on her nose two seconds ago, but at least Jasmine had the proper idea.

Aaaah, now that's the ticket! Rapunzel grinned inwardly, keeping her exterior cool, of course. "Pleasure to meet you, Tracy," she replied, shaking her hand. "I am Rapunzel Ariel Black, fourth year....but what's this about upbeat ways? Are you referring to my pristine manners?" She raised a blonde eyebrow and winked at the girl. "I find that following by example is an excellent way to learn, Miss Tracy. Just a bit of good advice my dear Grandmother instilled in me." Oh yes. She was now referring to the Black side of the family. Merlin. What could be next?

My mistake," she replied, finding it very hard to keep from bursting out in a fit of giggles. Tracy was definitely a fan of "manners" but such a reference to the girl's behavior seemed downright ridiculous. This was all a scene but it wasn't as if she was complaining. On the contrary, she was enjoying every bit of it.

As the girl continued to speak of following "examples" Tracy found herself trying to come up with more and more reasons as to why the girl was acting in the manner she had chosen. "Your grandmother must be quite a lady," she complimented respectfully, growing curious by the second. "However, may I ask who's examples we are speaking so fond of?" she asked, extremely curious to know everything and anything more about the girl.

Gentlewoman? Was that even a word, or was Punzle officially off her rocker now?

Manners? Did this girl have some problem with manners? Punz thought, her Slytherpuff side nearly getting the best of her. "Well yes, I was referring to my favorite Grandmother on my father's side....you see, she sets such a very clear example," Punz affirmed, refraining from adding any negative words after that. Oh, but it was so difficult sometimes!

"But but but, my, I do seem to be getting ahead of myself!" She tsked. At herself. Out loud. And then she shook her blonde head. "Excuse me, Miss Tracy," Punz continued. "Allow me to introduce my lovely younger sister, Miss Jasmine Aurora Black," Rapunzel beamed, hoping the two would shake hands. "Miss Jasmine here is nearly a perfect gentlewoman, having taken several long and proper vacations with our dear Grandmother." She nodded, allowing her sister to elaborate...if she chose.

This had to be one of the most weirdest experiences Tracy had encountered. "Nice to uhm...meet you Miss Jasmine," she responded, holding out her hand but doing so with extreme caution. One crazy nutter she could handle but...two? Tracy tried to keep a clear expression on her face but could feel nervous tingles run up her spine.

"Vacations? What sorts of vacations?" she inquired, once again allowing her curiousity to make the best of her. You're going to find yourself in a deep dark pit one day because of all these darn questions, she thought to herself. It was only a matter of time before her questioning nature would get her in far more trouble than she could handle. Until then, she continued peering closely at the two sisters.

Then again, the girl was staring at her with an odd expression on her face, not unlike that of her pygmy puff Nacho when he came out of her bag after a long, hot, dizzying trip. Speaking of Nacho....

"Oh! My my my," Punz bubbled, suddenly remembering the furry critter in her bag. Temporarily forgetting the rules, she slipped back into her old self and unclasped her Chudley Cannons bag, digging Nacho out from his special pouch on the inside. "Nacho, my furry little friend," she cooed to the pet, stroking his bright yellow round head. "Are you all right?"

The pygmy puff responded slowly, sticking his pink little tongue out as if tasting the air in the hall, then slowly licking Punzel's hand. "Oh am I glad you're alright," she sighed happily.

And then she remembered the no-pets rule. "Oops." Maybe the Tracy girl hadn't noticed...."Uh, Miss Tracy," Rapunzel slipped back into her Miss Priss state. "This is my pet pygmy puff, Nacho. And after tonight, you will probably never see him again since he will, of course, be staying in my dormitory." She nodded firmly, not believing a word of her own speech, and then gently sat the pygmy puff on the bench beside her. She would have put him away, but he desperately needed a breath of fresh air.

"You are insane!" she blurted out, trying to make sense of the girl's comment and the furry reference. There was only so much that Tracy could take. Enough was enough! Scratching her head and trying to make sense of the odd situation she was in, Tracy could feel her cheeks burn as she continued staring at the girl. Before long however, she boldly leaned in across the table and noticed a Pygmy Puff. That would explain that, she thought and took a deep breath happy to know that Rapunzel wasn't completely insane. She was growing rather fond of the girl. Glancing around to those around her, she felt her cheeks flush a deeper shade of red and smiled nervously. "I thought..." she began to explain, but fell short. "To bloody hell what you guys think...I'm not the only one insane around here," she blurted out and then turned over to Rapunzel once again, not giving them any attention.

"I'm sorry..." she answered meekly, not quite sure what had come over her. Then again, it was probably Rapunzel's intention all along. It certainly seemed more likely. "Nacho? As in...yellow cheese?" she asked sarcastically, rolling her eyes at the name. "What in Merlin's Beard convinced you to name that blasted thing, Nacho?!" she asked, honestly curious about everything and anything that involved the older student. Sitting back in her seat finally, Tracy took a deep breath and pouted slightly at Rapunzel's reference to the rules. "Why o'course. We wouldn't want to cross the ministry," she responded, trying very hard to disguise the sarcastic tone in her voice.

Oh. But this was too funny. She could keep the convo going. And, she felt quite proud for not sniggering once during the first year's melodramatic reaction.

"Nacho? Of course he has a pefectly sane reason behind his name!" Rapunzel replied calmly. She now had a new goal on top of her goody-goody routine: prove to the school - and especially Willow - that she was a relatively normal girl.

"Well, my friend, I have this nickname - which is seldom heard - of Pretzel." She paused, holding her palm straight up in the air, as if signaling 'no photos' to the paparazzi. "Don't ask how or why or who gave me the name, just know that it is a nickname." She nodded, and continued.

"Anyways, I was shopping in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes one day - not that perfectly respectable girls like myself need prank items anyways - and I happened along the cutest little thing: Nacho! A bright yellow pygmy puff!" She beamed at the memory. "I named him Nacho because I was thinking of those silly Muggles, Merlin bless their little souls, and their fondness for soft pretzels, nachos, and cheese."

She smiled again, looking oddly like a blonde Mary Poppins, and tilted her head towards Tracy. "Satisfied?"

Ah, but now Jasmine was starting to test Punzel's patience. "Jasmine dear," she said through gritted teeth. "We have private lives for a reason. PLEASE don't reveal too much, DARLING." She smiled at her sister...her smiled looking more like a wolf baring its teeth. Honestly, the way that girl talked, they sounded like millionaires! Not true! Rapunzel had just been lucky the past two terms and had gotten to visit some friends, that was all!

Geez this term was going to be hard.

Our brother, being the muggle that he is, is quite fond of them and he made me try one once. Very tasty indeed. I love the name Nacho, Rapunzel. Your Pygmy Puff is the exact color."

"Don't worry your pretty little head about it, dear," Jasmine said through clenched teeth as she tightly squeezed Punz's arm under the table. "I think I can take care of myself thankyouverymuch." Jasmine gave a fake smile and drank some more pumkin juice.

Tracy was just about ready to poke herself hard in hopes to wake up from whatever daze she was in. This couldn't be real. It just couldn't. The whole thing was just some big ol' dream and tomorrow she'd wake up and come to the real Hogwarts. The legendary Hogwarts she had heard so much about it. It wouldn't hurt to keep this going. There was nothing else left for Tracy to do but give in to Rapunzel's funky habits. It's only a dream after all, Tracy thought confidently.

"Pretzel? You should know by now that I can't help but ask the first thing that comes to mind," she added, honestly interested in the explanation of such a silly nickname.

"Perfectly respectable?" Tracy asked, scoffing at the very comment. Something about those two words didn't fit in with the rest of her story. "I, for one, found that shop to be my favorite in Diagon Alley. She leaned in closer, feeling as if the comment needed to be discussed even further and whispered, "It's okay if you secretly love that shop. I won't tell a soul." With that, she moved away once again and raised her eyebrows at Rapunzel's question. "Satisfied? Me? Well, I will be if you let me call you Pretzel," she responded cheekily, with a wide grin.

And the squeeze under the table didn't go unnoticed either. Discreetly rubbing her arm, Punz's left eyeball twitched in the direction of her sister as she clenched her teeth to retain a cool demeanor. "Jasmine, dearest, aren't you just the sweetest thing," she shook her head like a fond grandmother cooing a secretly ugly baby in its pram. "Thank you dear. I do know how fond you are of Muggle snacks," she tsked briefly, "but you've just got to watch your figure. Tsk tsk!"

Ohh ohhh how she loved teasing her sister. But if that girl pinched her one more time, she was going to lose it.

Rapunzel's mouth started twitching again. Hold it, girl, HOLD IT! she chanted to herself, not unlike when she would hold back a helluva sneeze. "I can't tell you how my name came about," she managed to respond after a sufficiently awkward pause. Ah, but then the girl seemed to have her figured out.

Already. Geez, maybe Rapunzel wasn't as Oscar-worthy as she thought. Raising an eyebrow at Tracy's whispered response, Rapunzel nodded abruptly. You could barely see the chin movement unless you looked close enough. "Fine. Pretzel it is," she replied, trying to sound annoyed, but failing miserably. She did love nicknames.

Jasmine tsk tsked and smiled "sweetly" at her sister. "You came to me crying and blubbering like a baby whale. It was not your brightest moment I daresay. But you do look fabulous now." Jasmine pinched Punzle's side for good measure. "But don't get your hopes up, you can only dream to be as tiny as me!" Jasmine gave a shrill laugh and winked at her sister, to let her know that she was just joking...for the most part.

However, as soon as the girl claimed that she couldn't explain her name, a pout quickly replaced her grin. "Okay..." she responded, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice. It was going to happen eventually, she tried telling herself to ease from the dissapointment. Time to wake up any minute now, she thought, fearing that their interesting conversation had now come to a standstill.

She nodded slightly as Jasmine mentioned breaking the rules and could feel an evil grin forming in the edges of her lips. "What kind of cat is Won Won?" she asked, trying to think of ways to disguise the unknown cat. Perhaps if it was smaller, they could easily come up with something.

"Won-Won is a rather large, tabby cat. He's quite fond of himself, and he loves to sprawl everywhere. He also loves to admire his white and orange stripes in the mirror every now and then." Jasmine sighed and wished that Won-Won would go on a diet. But he was just too lazy.

How dare she reveal Punzel's deepest, darkest secrets? To their FRIENDS, nevertheless?!! Merlin Merlin Merlin that girl is going to get a STRICT talking-to the instant we get to the common room, Punzle thought with a sigh.

That is....if Rapunzel didn't kill her first. Oh where are the knives when you need one?! she thought angrily, clenching her fist and holding it shut under the table. She had to keep it cool, keep it cool. Hufflepuff couldn't afford to lose any House Points, especially not with two schools competing for one Cup! UGH!

Now how would a lady handle this? Oh yes. Calmly, cooly, collected, and perhaps with a light giggle. Now to put that into action.

Rapunzel slowly tilted her head and rolled her shoulders, cooling off before replying. "Dear, dear, dear Jasmine," Punz sighed, plastering a HUGE fake smile on her face. "That silly little instant, ah, happened soooo long ago," she blinked like she couldn't even remember the exact date (June 22, 2061) and continued with a little speech. "And I was NOT a baby, darling. I was only ten years old. And it was before I'd ever been invited to Hogwarts...and it was certainly before I knew about Quidditch. Which, by the way," she added, her smile looking more and more acidic, "you should try sometime. Since I know you have no muscle, dear." She patted her sister lightly on the shoulder, resisting the tempation to dig her nails in, and turned towards the NICER HuffieMcPuffs at the table.

"But from what I've seen so far, you only complain about your lack of skills. Tsk tsk and the team really depends on you. Well maybe this term will be better." Jasmine smirked and turned away from her sister before she could make her more angry.

Rapunzel Ariel Black was outraged.

"How dare you insult my Quidditch team," Punz growled, her mouth opening just enough to let the words out. Her voice was low and dark and scary, compared to the usual high-pitched-raging Pretzel. "You know THAT TEAM is more important to me than...than....than almost anything!" She gasped dramatically, wondering how her sister could possibly even THINK that sort of insult was funny. Teasing her about the Chudley Cannons, she could understand, but a real, live, blood family member? Saying she had no skills?

Unacceptable.

"I'm done with you. Nope, don't even try to say anything, being stuck here, in this pathetic school, with you for a WHOLE TERM is going to kill me. So I'm leaving."

And with that speech, intended only for Jasmine's ears, Rapunzel slung her Cannons bag over her shoulder, scooped up Nacho, and headed out into the entrance hall.

Anna Banana · 06-09-2008, 04:08 PM

OK, pay attention to the bolded, purple parts....otherwise, it won't make sense. Also, if you haven't read "Twilight," it may not even make sense to read the bolded parts.

Lainey pulled her keys out of her pocket and unlocked the door. "Prepare to be dazzled by this hot new office," she sarcastically mumbled. There were definitely not enough chairs for all the girls.. but they'd make do. "Come on in...." Lainey lead the angry mob parade into her hell hole office.

She proceeded with caution, stepping over what appeared to be nuts strewn all over the floor. Where on Earth were the house elves in the school? And who on Earth would throw nuts all over the floor? Shaking her head, Anna joined the girls that were following Professor Lainey into her office, vaguely picking up on some reference to everyone being dazzled by the looks of the office.

Anna didn't know, at first, whether that meant that her Professor actually liked the office or hated it. With a shrug, she asked, "Does it dazzle you, Professor?"

It reminds me of old woman, blood, and cranberries. I don't much care for any of those." Her list of things she hated were adding up today.

She approached her chair and started with the first question about the name plate. "Well, I've made two conclusions about that name plate, Sabrina. One, they want me dead - but luckily don't my name well enough - so I consider myself safe, or two, they're making a very cruel joke about my past." She left it at that.

Lainey hadn't been prodded by any torches or pitchforks, so she was a little more at ease with the mob. She fell into her chair and then nearly dumped herself in the floor. Needless to say, she hadn't gotten a high quality chair. So, she sat very, very still once she got sat upright, her elbows up and her fist white from gripping the rails.

She made it look like she meant to do it, of course. "Frequently," Lainey answered Anna. "This office dazzles me every time I enter. Why, I could dazzle the garbage bin with barf right now I'm so enchanted with the decor."

Some Canna action for you there

Yeah...I had lots of fun with this.

Absentmindedly, she twirled her wand around a curl as she read-well, scanned.

In her moment of anxiety, several red sparks escaped from her wand. They alighted on the curl the wand was curled around. The lock of hair began to smoke gently.

Indeed, the top of her head was positively aflame. Like a bloody campfire.

"Aaaaaccckk!" Gwen screeched, jumping to her feet. "MERLIN'S PANTS!" She fumbled for her wand, the cause of the trouble. "Ohmygod ohmygod I need to put it out!!! How can we put it out???"

Panicking, afraid of being burned, she picked up her bag and turned it over, dumping everything in a pile on the floor. She thumped the bag on her head, trying to smother the fire. She then dropped to the floor, rolling around, and thumped the top of her head on the floor incessantly. The fire ceased, leaving a mop of singed hair and a bald patch.

"Galloping gargoyles, is it out????"

Not only did she have a bald patch, and also had a swelling lump on the spot she had ceaselessly rammed on the floor.

"Oh no," she moaned, a lump forming in her throat and her eyes swimming with tears. "I need something to cover my head; have you got a hat?"

When she finally found it, she stoped short, for there was a Slytherin, the same one, in fact, who had been at the opening feast; and a Gryffindor, who was on the floor.

"What is going on here?!" She demanded, her nose catching a whiff of smoke at that moment. What in Merlin's....?

Reaching down, she looked at the Gryffindor at eye level, glancing at her hair. "Are you okay?" Had she really done what Angela thought she had?

Quote:

"Thanks Tia," Gwen mumbled, taking the hat from her. Ooh. Black with a flower.

Gwen stared at Madam Kohan, her mouth stuck in a sort of grimace, her eyes swimming with tears.

"It's...out," she spluttered. "M-my hair. There was a fire. In my hair."

She bowed her head in shame. The shiny bald patch glistened in the sunlight.

"It'll be okay, dear." She spoke in a reassuring tone, though she was feeling everything but reassuring. It wouldn't do to freak out the students, though, so she managed to keep her cool even if she was reminding herself to breathe.

Biting her lip, she carefully helped up the Gryffindor.. "Come now, we'll just get you to the nurse and she'll be able to help you." She could see that there was already a bit of swelling present. "Yes, it'll definitely be best to see Nurse Numel."

She began piling her books and quills back into her singed bag, and hung it over her shoulder, rising to her feet. She ambled towards the library entrance, the daisy in the hat bouncing with each step. The trumpeting sound of her blowing her nose could be heard in the distance.
