So many a door and so many a chore are found on this, the second floor.

"AIMEEE ?!"She began to skip some more, her skip turning into a run as she ran towards the blonde girl hoping it was Aimee.

It would be SUPER embarresing if it wasn't Aimee. EEEP.

As she reached the girl, and noticed that it was infact Aimee, phew, the smiled on her face grew. "HEY!" She said stopping not far away from her first friend. "How are youuuu ?" she smiled, wrapping her arms around her friend and giving her a hug.

Still looking side to side incase Harley walked passed her and she didn't notice her, Aimée froze when she heard her name. Turning around slowly, she realised that it must be someone she knew, because people she didn't wouldn't know her name. And it was a nice shout, not a 'you're-in-trouble-so-get-over-here-now' kind of shout. Spying the person who had shouted, Aimée grinned and laughed as the girl ran towards her.

"'Arley!" she grinned, hugging the girl back. It was exactly the person she had been looking for, only said person had found her, instead of the other way around. Whether purposely or not, she had. Hehe. "I am okay, 'ow are you?" she added, nodding at Harley's question.

Harley beamed, letting go of Aimee she jumped backwards yknow to like give Aimée some personal space and all that she didn't wanna steam up the girls eyes with her breathing cus that'd be weird. ANNND There was always the fact that Harley liked her personal space too. She began rocking back and forth on the soles of her feet waiting for Aimee to answer.

She smiled as the girl shouted her name just as she had done previously. "Wanna go explore more ?" Exploring might not be AS fun as it was when they were first here but three months wasn't that long so there must've still be loads of places they hadnt seen. "Only okay ?" she frowned. "Whats wrong ?" hopefully she didnt mind her asking. "Im good thank you."

Explore some more? Aimée liked the idea of that, and beamed at Harley for suggesting it. Although she'd seen quite a bit of the Castle in the last few months, she was sure that there had to be more too it - of what she'd heard, there was a room whose door only appeared when someone walked past it thrice, concentrating on what they wanted to find. How awesome was that?

"Yes! Exploring zounds good," she nodded enthusiastically and laughed. "Alzough," she added, her voice taking on a slightly graver tone as she remembered their first day there. "If I see zat ozer boy, who said we broke ze staircase, I will not be 'happy." Because she'd read up on it. And the stairs were meant to move. They hadn't broken them at all. HRMPH.

Mafalda walked down the corrider. She wasn't wearing her school robe because she didn't want to get it dirty. Instead she was wearing a striped t-shirt and her arms were visible. They were very muscular,which is what she wanted nearby students to see.
She smiled to herself. She hated Arithmancy,so now she was goin to play a little trick on the floor it was in. She pulled out a dung bomb and threw it on the floor. BOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was a Ravvie when it came to her brains but that was actually about all of it.

Satine shook her head and watched as a boy walked past them. "yes you may be right...." she thought about her dad, "I mean even my dad is immature sometimes...I love him...but you know..." she said smiling...

Satine shook her head..."Yes you're right...the age thing isn't that big of a deal. And he is pretty cute...I mean when peeps get older age doesn't both anyone...I'd just be like a cradle robber..." she said with a giggle....yes that was a good thought...she might just have to try with Dallin...I mean you never knew ho things were going to work out...

Then she heard her comment about James, "Yes, you do have a point...I guess it's just his bright blue eyes that just melt me...but once a cheater...always a cheater...right?" but he was a cutey...maybe just a little flirting wouldn't hurt her...yes...

Satine thought about the whispering part, "O umm...well let's see...actually I think he leaned down and whispered that Marie was his girlfriend and so I told him that he was prolly making her jealous...and then...well I decided that maybe I should figure out what his intentions where...you know...so I told him it was a shame he didn't meet me first..." o wow that sounded bad..."I know that wasn't right but...I was trying to figure out what he was trying to do with me...if he was just using me or if he was just that dense or if he was interested in me...you know..." no she was sure she sounded like a horrid person...O Satine...she had a right to be mad at you..."he told me it was a shame but that he would love to have me around more often...about that time actually I think Finn came over and interrupted our whispering..."

Fallon chuckled. "It's cuz Snakes are better. Mostly because Aaron, Iris, and I are there." Hehe. She could be conceited every now and then. She would just never show it.

Fallon watched as a boy walked passed. Apparently Satine had noticed him too because she turned back right after Fallon did. "I'm pretty sure I am." She nodded as her friend talked about her father. "My dad's the same way." Even though he was rather strict at times.

Fallon nodded as Satine talked. She giggled at the cradle robber comment. "Satine, he's only a couple years younger than you! That's not considered cradle robbing!" She couldn't really control her laughter at this point. Cradle robbing was when the guy was WAY younger than the girl. Evan Fallon knew that.

Fallon nodded. "Exactly." She didn't think she'd think the same thing though if it came down to it with Finn. For some reason she just liked the guy way too much for her own good. She also knew about eyes making someone melt. Finn did that to her too.

Fallon listened as Satine talked. She wasn't going to say anything to her friend about how flirting back with him probably wasn't the best thing to do. "Yeah figuring out something like that could help you understand what was going on with him." And then Satine said Finn. "What was Finn worried about?" Wasn't like he would care about something like that.

Harley smiled. She didn't really want to go back to those moving stairs again, well stairs she should call 'em cus Braeden said they weren't supposed to move. She still hadn't managed to get her head around how they DID move though cus like her and Aimee hadn't done anything to make them move, had they ? They were just walking up the stairs...and talking MAYBE that was what made them move, maybe they were supposed to walk up the stairs in silence. EEEP.

"It does! So which floor do you want to explore ?" She wanted to fine that room with the magical disappearing door, but that could've been anywhere. "Or do you want to go into the grounds ?" The ground were fun, she hadn't really been out there a lot with it being cold and all. "Why ? You mean...we didnt ? Why did he lie ?" ...lying was mean. "Think he lied about knowing superman too ?" Chandler HAD said he'd lied, but she'd just told him he was being silly *mellow*

Satine nodded her head...she did have a point. He wasn't really that much younger than her and when they graduated...if it even got that far...age wasn't a huge issue...she giggled with Fallon, "Well, you know...plus we only have less than a year and a half left...and then what...." she said more asking herself...

Satine at Fallon still, yes she shouldn't be, thinking about how cute Jimmy was with those eyes...but Fallon was right...She listened to her next statement pretty sure that Fallon was fixing to call her stupid for flirting with him back...but she didn't...Fallon was a great friend!..."Yes in my crazy mind that's what I was doing...you know..." o no had Satine mentioned Finn...way to go Satine..."Ummmm...I don't know I think Marie sent him over to break up Jimmy and I's conversation, but I'm not really sure...he just kind of came over and said hello and then they said goodbye and went to eat or something..." had Marie really sent him over...if it had been Satin's boyfriend she would've just marched over there and introduced herself....hmmmm..

Keeping his eyes on her face, he bit his lip uncomfortably, giving a small nod. "Sometimes...it just happens y'know? It sucks. A lot. But it's stuff like this that's supposed to make your character stronger. I think...either way, your dad would be proud of you."

Vashti quickly looked away, dabbing at her eyes with her sleeve. She didn't want to cry, not now. She absolutely hated crying when there was someone around to see it. This was supposed to make her character stronger? She didn't want a stronger character, dang it - she wanted her dad back.

"I'm not sure there's anything to be proud of."

Oh bugger...Of course she turned her face away. Not that he blamed her, losing one's parent was an emotional time, and he suspected telling someone she hardly knew, like him, was incredibly difficult. His head dipped slightly as she turned away, and he ran a hand through his hair, he hated times like these. He sincerely wanted to help. But he couldn't do anything with his handicap.

Using his free hand to hit the stone beside him, Anakin shook his head. "I wish I could help you...But it's hard, when I don't even know what your saying." And this was one of the very reason's he'd been dreading school.

Didn't even know what she was saying? What in Merlin's name was he going on about? Was she really talking that quietly?

"What d'you mean?" she asked, turning back to look at him.

Destiny · 02-07-2011, 09:36 AM

Destiny didn't get very far when she realized that the compass was too ugly to look at and she needed to make another one. Really, though. The so called 'compass' didn't even have those pointing things. How was she supposed to know which direction she was going?

With a quick 'Reverto', the ugly compass was back to a watch and she once again gave her wrist a flick. She decided that she was not going to talk to the watch this time. She was going to sneak attack it and change it into the compass.

See if it likes THAT!

She moved her wand in the snazzy cross shape, circle, and jab motion while concentrating on a compass that AT LEAST had those pointing things. She did want to know which way she was going and all. "Comletia." she said, and glancing down at the thing in her hand, she heaved a sigh of relief.

The compass was still ugly, but it had them pointing things.

Now, who was this Stanley character, hmm!?

And did he have chocolate?

Of course no rebellious piece of charmed chocolate could escape Joshua Carter. Ignoring anybody who would stare at him, he started to run after the frog to catch it. Oh yes, he really wanted to taste the chocolate and he did not care if it had been running on the floor.

Run...run...run...

Bleh. It was a little bit annoying to run with robes but he was determined to get it no matter what. So taking another breath to run faster, Josh realised that the frog was approaching the girl's bathroom. Now that could be considered as a problem. Oooor maybe not. If he would not have another choice, the boy could walk (or run) into the girl's bathroom. Yes, he dared it. *Grin* No one could do anything for that.

Hahahaha...

While smirking widely at that thought, he did not realise why but suddenly he tripped and the next moment the Gryffindor found himself on the floor.

''Ow!''

It did hurt a lot.

Make up was redone, hair was in place again. Uniform was neat and tidy.

She looked presentable again. Iris had been letting her appearance slip quite a bit over the term. Her prefect duties and classes and homework had just gotten so much! There was no time for looking pretty!

As she opened the door to leave the bathroom, Iris wasn't expecting to see what she did. "AHH!!!"That's right. A Chocolate Frog had just jumped right into her face. Grabbing at it, Iris caught hold of the Frog and held it tight so it didn't get away.

"Who in the name of Merlin let this jump about free?!" ... Iris stared at the lump on the floor in front of her. "Carter." She said, plainly. "Why am I not surprised? ... Why are you on the floor?" The prefect added with a smirk. Yeah. She knew why. The fool was chasing the Frog. Iris wanted to hear HIM say that though. Just for the hilarity of it all.

"What d'you mean?" she asked, turning back to look at him.

Anakin ran a hand through his hair, careful to turn to watch her again, already regretting allowing the words past his lips. He hadn't meant to say it, but he'd been frustrated and it slipped. Besides, she'd been so open with him. Maybe it was his turn to return it.

Watching her mouth form a sentence, he looked away, fiddling with the end of his tie. "I, uhm, I'm deaf. I have been for about three years." And it was really frustrating for him to have lost something so important. Especially when he took it for granted so long.

He was... "Oh." But...how? He responded well in a conversation - like now for instance. Except... Vashti thought back to those other conversations, suddenly recalling one thing they all had in common: He was always looking intently at her - the speaker's - face, and whenever she had looked away, he had always fumbled for a response or asked her to repeat what she'd said.

Lip reading. That was how he was doing it.

Suddenly she wasn't sure what to say. Saying she was sorry just didn't seem appropriate - she knew she didn't like to hear it - yet that was the only thing she could think of.

"I'm so sorry to..." hear that. Fortunately she'd stopped herself before she'd actually finished that sentence. How awful would it be if she'd said that?

Glancing at her from the corner of his eye, he caught her looking stunned, but didn't bother fixating his gaze to see anything else. This was why he didn't tell people. It made him feel...abnormal. It was different with Sebastian and Melrose, they'd known him when he was...normal.

Vashti didn't. And he probably seemed pathetic. Especially having dropped such a bombshell right in the middle of talking about her. Trying to make her feel better. He hadn't meant to change it to him.

Shaking off the awkward stupid feeling he had now, he turned himself to look at her. Determined not to let this faze him. Shrugging lightly, he looked down. "It doesn't matter anymore. It's been awhile, I've adjusted." And he had. Sometimes it just...caught up to him. Made him feel crazy.

He did have to get one more thing out though. "Vashti? Do me a favor...don't...tell anyone. Please."

Vashti bit her bottom lip, worried that maybe she'd said something wrong or that maybe she hadn't said enough. But what could she say? She'd never really met someone who was deaf so young, but really, it wasn't his age that made it...awkward. She wouldn't have known what to say even to an elderly person who'd lost their hearing. Because what did you say to someone in this situation?

He didn't want her to tell anyone? She wanted to ask why but decided that would be insensitive. It wasn't her place to decide who else should know about his secret. That was up to him. "I won't, I promise."

And then she realized another thing. "Is that why you quit playing Quidditch?"

What a pair they made. What started out as a talk basically ended up as a complete pity party. It made him feel awkward. Wasn't this the very reason he didn't tell anyone about his 'little problem'? Sure, Seb moved past it. But even his Da hadn't been able to. Merlin.

Turning his head to watch her, and catching the promise. Ani gave a small smile of relief, "Thanks. It means a lot. People usually get all...awkward around me when they know." He didn't really need to go on farther, but since she'd promised, he'd figured she'd deserved that much.

Quidditch? "Yeah, I couldn't hear the refs anymore."

Quidditch? "Yeah, I couldn't hear the refs anymore."

This was...quite a conversation they'd had, wasn't it? Vashti had finally told someone outside of her family what had happened to her dad, and Anakin had confided in her his own unhappy secret, and they'd only known each other for about half a year. Odd, how things like that happened, confiding in someone you hadn't known for very long instead of someone you had.

Vashti only hoped she wasn't also grouped in the people who got awkward around him after finding out. "I don't see why they should," she commented. "You're still the same person you were before they knew about it." This, she suddenly realized, was quite true. And really, it was probably better that she did know, so she could make sure he was always able to understand her, like not turning her head away which she would tend to do if she didn't know.

Shame he couldn't play Quidditch anymore though. It was such a fun sport she couldn't imagine not being able to participate in it. "I bet you were - are - a really good player," she said with a small smile. And then an idea occurred to her. "What if you and I played some time? It wouldn't be a real game since there'd only be two of us, so you wouldn't have to worry about a referee making any calls or anything." It was worth a shot, right? She wasn't sure where they'd be able to do this, but she was sure she'd find some place eventually. If Anakin agreed to it, of course.

Anakin rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, before turning to glance at her again. "I'm sorry for dumping this on you. You okay?" After all, it was her own issues they'd started with. And he didn't want to seem insenstive and like he was trying to take all the attention.

Watching her, as he'd finally realized the idiocy of turning his head back and forth to avoid looking at her. He couldn't do that, he HAD to look at her in order to know what she was saying. Giving a slight shrug, he shook his head slightly, avoiding her eyes and instead watching her mouth. "I dunno...I guess, maybe, they just don't know what to say to me." At least he had his Da and Seb. "I think handicaps in general just make people...feel awkward."

Anakin gave a small chuckle and a slight smile, and nodded, "Thanks. But hey, at least I can come watch you at the games right?" He nudged her slightly with a small smile. And then she was offering that maybe they could play sometime? Ani'd be lying if the thought didn't excite him. He really did love Quidditch. "Really? You'd be cool with that?"

Giving a slight shrug, he shook his head slightly, avoiding her eyes and instead watching her mouth. "I dunno...I guess, maybe, they just don't know what to say to me." At least he had his Da and Seb. "I think handicaps in general just make people...feel awkward."

Anakin gave a small chuckle and a slight smile, and nodded, "Thanks. But hey, at least I can come watch you at the games right?" He nudged her slightly with a small smile. And then she was offering that maybe they could play sometime? Ani'd be lying if the thought didn't excite him. He really did love Quidditch. "Really? You'd be cool with that?"

Vashti nodded. "It's fine," she assured him. "It's actually kind of nice to know that you trust me enough to tell me this." It meant they were friends, right?

That was probably true, she supposed. That handicaps did make people feel awkward at first. She'd felt like that just now when he'd first revealed his to her - but now, well, she didn't feel quite as awkward. Because the more she thought about it, the more she realized he really wasn't all that different from a few minutes ago before he'd told her. "At first it does," she agreed, "but it doesn't mean they should treat you differently forever."

She smiled. "'Course," she replied. "And will you be cheering us on when we go against your house at the next game?" He probably wasn't, house loyalty and all that, which she couldn't fault him for. But it was worth a shot asking, right? Her smile grew at his next response. "Absolutely. I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't, now would I?"

Anakin smiled slightly at her, nodding his head in agreement. He was glad he hadn't completely botched things up. He didn't know many people already, and he could definitely use the friends he had. "And I'm glad you were able to talk to me."

Nodding his head slightly in agreement, Ani gave a slight shrug as well. He completely agreed of course. But just because he agreed didn't make it magically true. "Maybe it's just because some just can't work through the awkward?" And obviously some could. Like Vashti. Nudging her slightly with his elbow he grinned, feeling a little less like a freak show. "The super cool ones can though."

Snort. Cheer for her team at the match against Hufflepuff? "I'll do a joint cheering." Because he'd look weird cheering against his own team. And he DID want hufflepuff to win the house cup. His joint cheering would probably just be 'Go hufflepuff! Go Vashti!' Because that wasn't weird yeah? Chuckling he nodded, "That's true. S'pose that was a bit of a stupid question. Well, thanks. That'd be really fun."

Vashti smiled back, glad that she had been able to talk to him too. It was actually kind of nice to get it all out in the open, at least with one person. It felt like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders somewhat.

But she supposed he was right. Some people probably couldn't work around all this and would always feel uncomfortable around people who were...well, different. There would probably always be people like that. But there would also be people who could. She grinned when he nudged her. "I guess it's like what Dr. Suess said once. 'Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.' Or something like that." There might've been more to the quote, but that was all Vashti remembered. And she didn't really expect Anakin to know who Dr. Suess was - if he didn't know about Star Wars, he probably wouldn't know about Dr. Suess either. Maybe after that one-on-one Quidditch game they had she'd introduce him to some Muggle things. Merlin knew he'd probably need it if he was going to understand half the things she said.

A joint cheering? Well that was a nice compromise. "That works, I s'pose," she said with a laugh. Then she shook her head. "There's no such thing as a stupid question." Well...actually there probably was. But his question hadn't been stupid, at least. "I dunno when we'd be able to do it though. You don't happen to have a Quidditch pitch near where you live or anything, do you?" Because Merlin knew she didn't.

Yup Jacob had good ideas, unless they're bad... then they aren't Jacob's ideas.

He started to move towards the stairs... "It has to be on the next floor. It makes perfect sense to have the Prefect's bathroom near the Headmaster's office." It was weird though, knowing the headmaster could pop in any second to ask a favour while your releiving yourself.

OWLS SHMOWLS!

Patroclus had been studying, hard, but he was also quite confident in his natural ability........well he was kinda confident, no he was Completely Confident, Completely!......ish

Arriving at the top of the Staircase, in the entry to the Second Floor corridor, the LionBoy had to stop, "Ew." He said very simply, "If Tate ever came into the bathroom and began to discuss school issues, I would be too uncomfortable to deal with him" The bathroom was for........just not talking about school with the Headmaster!

"So we begin again!"

Second Floor the Charm??

Jacob scanned the corridor... he took in every detail of the corridor. "You never know, Tate can be a bit..." Jacob decided not to finish the setence.Why was there always something unusual about the headmasters. One disappears randomly only to have to position taken over by a man who was associated with Dark magic.

Jacob looked around. "You think we need to answer a question to get in. Like the Common rooms?" Wait, They need to answer questions too, right? Or maybe they had to do something stupid and dangerous.

Jacob started walking the corridor once more, it seemed like this was going to take forever. They might still be looking for it while they're grandparents. If they ever leave their hunt long enough to even become fathers.
