Ravenclaw Common Room
 

James stormed into the common room. IT WASN'T FAIR! He HAD to stop it. He sat down and tried to think.

"Object?" James said, looking up. "Only object? Why not refuse..." he muttered to the boy, before finishing up his letter and sending it on foams foot.

"They won't listen to us. In fact, my plan is that they'll have no one to listen to." James said quietly. "No...not run away. We need to get both schools in one place. Then silently rebel behind their backs." he said, voice lowering with each word, but still able to understand.

James nodded at Barry. "I just sent a letter to Monica." He said. "Do you know where this so called 'tunnel' thing is?" he asked.

James raised his eyebrows. "Who's the Hufflepuff?" he called after the boy.

James entered the Common Room. It'd taken him forever to find it.
Adjusting to the light with several blinks he looked at the room.
He saw the rules posted, "It's as if they don't trust us or something." he thought sarcasticly.
This thought was reinforced when he saw the plastic covering all the furniture.
It was then that he saw another guy in the room standing off to the side.
"Oh," he said, surprised, "Hey. Some place, huh?" he asked gesturing. "I'm James. James Skyle."

James read the letter carefully before deciding that he NEEDED to do something. Quick. Monica needed him, and he needed Monica. It was all a big circle that was...broken. And they needed to fix it. The students. Of Hogwarts. He starred at the wall, wondering which Hufflepuff Sho was talking about. But then, yet another letter came.

James had remembered Josh from last year at the hut, when he had been trying to fix the problems of the animals. Too bad he wasn't one. That way Monica and him would have yet another way to be in common. But that was over now. And revolution, had begun. He wrote a letter responding to both of them.

Sweetheart,
Yes, things are horrible here too. Actually, anywhere. You're not bony! You're fine the way you are. Wait...that means you could be bony. So...what ever you are, you are. Anyway, I'll try to get hold of Josh, I kind of remember him from last year. I haven't been outside yet, so I don't know anything about a black lake. I miss you so much, and now I really must go.
Your Love and My...self,
Foam owner

He finished up the letter and tied it to Foams feet. "Good luck..." he said, as she flew out the window of the horrible common room.

James held out his hand. "I'm James as well. James Lupet." He said. "I don't remember you, are you new?" he asked.

James shook his hand, surprised to hear his name was James. Then heard his other question, "No, I just havn't been very social in previous years." He laughed.


"Erm...If you don't mind, I'm just gonna put this up," he said, gesturing to his trunk. "Nice meeting you." He wheeled his trunk over to the dormitory entrance.

OOC: I know...but it never hurts to ask, does it?

James nodded. "I liked it better last year..." he said, muttering to both himself and the boy.

Nigel walked into the Common room utterly bambouzled. He hadn't been told that this is what Hogwarts was like! He wanted to know what was going on in the school. He noticed a boy in the corner and went over to talk to him.
"What is up with the school?" he said rather more bluntly than he had intended to. "I'm Nigel by the way. Nigel Forbulus."

This wasn't at all like what David had been told. His mother told him it was a co-ed school, but now he was at a boy's only school? Well, it had been a long time since his mother went to school, and David occasionally thought she was a few cups short of a tea set.

He slowly moved to sit down in one of the plastic covered seats. The plastic underneath him made strange sounds everytime he moved. The brightness of the white everything was also starting to get to him but then he remembered the sunglasses he'd put in his robes. He had thought he'd wear them to make him seem cooler than he was around the girls, but since there were no girls the sunglasses would have to become more practical and block the brightness of the room.

David then saw the portait above the white mantel. Just looking at it made his skin crawl, something about the man bothered David, or maybe it was the dogs. Ever since his uncles dog bit him David had been a little afraid of dogs.

James nodded. "Whats up?" he said to the boy. "The Ministry has taken over. Hogwarts has...disappeared. None of us know where it is." He said seriously. "Segregation has taken over and well...we need to do something about it firstie" he said to him. Then he held out his hand. "James Lupet. Nice to meet you Nigel. Hope to teach you things you won't learn from the false teachers"

James looked over at the other firstie. He knew what he was thinking. "It is a co-ed school. This isn't Hogwarts" He told him. "In Hogwarts the Ravenclaw common room was the best ever. All dressed in Blue and Bronze and comfy chairs...and a nice fire, too" he said to him. Then he indicated to that boy and Nigel. "I'm trying to round some people up to revolutionize. You can come if you want." he said, walking to Barry for a moment.

"Barry, why don't you come with me and after I round some people up, you can show me" James said, being a little to generous to the boy who had been the worst annoying kid in school last year. But now the kid knew what it was like to lose somebody. Now he indicated all three of them. "Come on" he said, walking to the door of the dormitory.

"Ok" said Barry he couldn`t beleive they got along so well because of a death eater
ooc:Where next?

James came downstairs to the Common Room. He sat down in one of the couches and almost fell out of it because the plastic covering it was so slick. He cursed to himself.

Putting his shoes on, he saw two younger Ravenclaws talking amongst themselves. With a glance at the large Hourglass on the mantle and glimpses of Cooper's portrait and Ravenclaw's bust, he exited through the double doors and went out into the 3rd Floor Corridor.

"I wonder how Rhiannon is doing at the girls' school. Let alone Josh. I haven't seen him since the carriage." he thought.

Please don't post OOC-only comments
 

Ryan walked into the common room, which took him a while to find, mind you. Darn that Minister for moving things around. The first thing he noticed was that it looked like a trip to grandma's house. Plastic covers.....wow.

Why does everyone think we're all nerdy? Ryan thought. We may be smart, but we're not neurotic. He was starting to get sick of this, frankly. He didn't mind the absence of the girls, but he was really bothered by all of the changes at this new school...especially the ridiculous rules.

He just needed to sit down and think.

Ryan paced the room...looking for a place to sit, which apparently, there were none of. So, in particular Ryan fashion, he plopped right down on the ground, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and started rubbing his temples. This was starting to give him a headache.

....and he hadn't even begun to REALLY think about quidditch, and how in the world he was supposed to field a team with all these restrictions.

James entered the double doors to the Common Room again. As always he was greeted by the framed set of rules and the uncomfortable white walls of the space. It was then that he saw anther Ravenclaw sitting in the room.

"Oh. Hey. I didn't see you. I'm James. James Skyle." he said, extending his hand. He knew he'd seen this guy somewhere before. "Oh, you're Quidditch Captain aren't you?" he finished with a glance and a frown at the Hourglass on the mantle as more sapphires were taken away.
"Darn those rules." he thought.
