Pearl :-) Wow. He looked so confident with his wand. Something Monty himself was yet to master - he dropped it more often than not, whenever he pretended to duel by waving it around. But this older boy..........such good spell work. Monty's eyes followed every move, stared at the places the dirt had once been and now were not. It was brilliant. "Wooow." Monty grinned back, taking the hat gingerly and turning it over and over in his hands. It was spotless. "Thanks, Cris! That's brilliant." He put it back on his head, proudly; flicking the end. Really brilliant. So brilliant. "Can you teach me to do that? Or - or, do they teach it at Hogwarts?" |

He stared at the sugar quill between his fingers and eyed hers. She looked okay eating this candy yet he had this thought that he would look stupid while doing so. But if she was used to eating this stuff then she probably had other people consuming it around her so it might not look stupid to him when he would try to eat the candy. He nibbled the tip of the candy quill a bit as she spoke, her words making him raise his eyebrows again. She was kind of...right. If you enjoyed it then it was not so bad at all. "I can see no errors with your reasoning, Kanna." and there was that name. "What does your name mean? I have never heard it before." |
this is bad im sorry Quote:
"Have you added more people to the list? Shouldn't make it too big," Because their school like to suck the fun out of things. But now they needed things like food, which he was basically the chef out of the group. |
For Anyone Austin walked onto the train, a small bag slung over his back. He didn't feel like walking all the way to the back, although it would be quieter, so he climbed into a small car near the front of the train. Plopping the small bag on the seat, he sat next to the window. It was a little bitter sweet for him. On the one hand, he wanted to go away and learn, be away from his parents, and get some time to be his own person. But on the other hand, he won't be able to see his parents until the Holidays, and he didn't want to be alone. He wasn't that great at making friends, due to his cocky attitude and what not. But it didn't matter to him much. He would be fine on his own, and he was sure someone would say hi to him in his dorm room. Ravenclaw was the best house to be in, in his opinion, and if that hat shouted any other house name, he would be very unhappy. He probably wouldn't come back after the Holidays if Ravenclaw wasn't his house. |
Sarah. Sorry for the delay. RL SPOILER!!: Monty Cris took an exaggerated bow before straightening up and grinning. "Thank you and you're most welcome. The cleaning spell? Yes I can teach you that but yes they will also teach you that at Hogwarts along with a whole bunch of other interesting spells." "When learning spells, my Professors always tell us to first learn the incantation, which is actually the words to the spell. You need to say it correctly or the spell might not work the way you want it to. Then once you've mastered that, you learn the spell's wand movement, like this," Cris waved his wand followed by a flick. "For the spell I just did, the wand movement as you can see is pretty straightforward. I just pointed my wand at the areas I wanted cleaning. Now that's the easy part. The hardest part is getting the spell to work, and it's not just fancy wand waving and saying the incantation. The hardest part involves this," Cris explained as he tapped his forehead with his finger. "Concentration is what is important. That and your intention," Cris paused when he realized that he was sounding like one of his Professors. He laughed as he looked at Monty,"I have a feeling that most of what I just told you, just went flying over your head. I know it did when someone first tried teaching me to cast my first spell." he chuckled as he recalled that memory. "I've always believed that practice is always better than theory. So would you like to try casting that cleaning spell? You will find it very useful in some of your classes especially Potions. Don't worry if it doesn't work out the first few times. With lots of practice, you will eventually master it," Cris smiled encouragingly at Monty. |

Adi was pleased to be going back to Hogwarts and seeing all the students chatting away just made it even better. But who was that standing there? The other boy's build was familiar...It was Kace! Grinning, Adi poked the fourth year on the shoulder. "Hello, Kace. Did you grow taller over the summer?'' Because to the third year, it certainly seemed so. |
SPOILER!!: Haha, please don't mind her! Perhaps that wasn't the ONLY word she had intended to say..Especially since that one random word most likely wouldn't make any sense..And judging by the girl's face..it certainly did not make any sense to begin with.. ....Wonderful.. ... 'Why was she just standing there? Isn't she going to yell at me?' 'Should I try to run to another compartment-NOT possible, she's blocking the only exit-Although there is always the window-NO!' ... She shook her head after those scrambling thoughts before realizing the older girl had spoken to her again. From the looks of it, the girl was still looking rather puzzled after Josie's random response. But had she seen the girl's kneazle around? Come to think, she could have sworn she'd heard something scurrying about before Josie had entered the compartment, but she hadn't taken the time to search anything out of the ordinary. -Wait, what was that? Was she okay? ...Was she okay? Well, aside from the guilt, Josie had to admit she was feeling a bit better for the most part. But in response to the older girl's question she slowly nodded her head, all the while stroking Sebastian's head. She bit her lip before she softly spoke, with actual words this time. "I-I um..I think I did hear some sort of a-a um..A noise when I got settled in..But I wasn't quite sure what it was.." Not to mention, she was also |

Ohhh yes yes their guestlist. Hmmm... maybe Casper would want to come? She had to ask him later at the feast.So far the list stood strong though." Nope, i think ive got everyone", she nodded," what about you? Who is on your list? Jun never even told her. They had to make sure only the class of people would come, after all Charlotte needed to find some hottie under all of the guests. But the brunette had faith in Jun, faith he d had some good looking mates to invite. For Char, not for herself of course. "The party needs to have access to only a very well selected pool of people", she said agreeing with him, " we can let everyone it." Noope that wasnt a possibility, your first party was the party everyone was gonna remember it couldnt be ordinary. |

He was just reaching a compartment about to look inside when he almost accidentally collided with a small looking student. A first year perhaps? He put on his breaks, digging his heels into the floor and pausing inches away from her. ”Sorry about that” he chuckled then looked at her expression. ”Are you okay?” he asked. Was it just him or did she seem a little sad? Text Cut: Ana and Lux He continued on down the train, peeking briefly through every window until he found the one he was looking for. And it wasn’t long until he did, there sat by the window was Ana along with her friend Lux. He knocked on the door, opening it and poking his head around. ”I hope you don’t mind an interruption ladies?” he question looking between the two of them. ”Unless you’re having precious girl bonding time in which case, I’ll go find my mates.” No big deal. He waited for an answer before he sat himself down, he respected their wishes after all. And sometimes girls wanted individually girly time with their friend’s right? He was sure he’d be able to find Theo or West somewhere, although the majority of his friends were prefects and he wouldn’t have access to their compartment. He grinned expectantly at the pair, eager for their response. |

SPOILER!!: Lux "I've loved dresses ever since I was a little girl. My papa was quite indulgent with me. I had lots of gowns as well, even though I couldn't possibly need them. I liked dressing up as a princess though, especially after seeing the movie Anastasia," Ana revealed, eyes clouding over slightly as she thought back on her childhood. Those days seemed so far away now. It was scary to think that in less than 12 months she'd be of age and considered for all intents and purposes to be an adult. It made her long for childhood again. "Well, dancing is meant to be fun, and so as long as the way you dance makes you happy that's all that really matters. I love dancing, and I know a lot of formal dances but sometimes the best feeling is simply dancing crazily to loud music and not worrying about any proper steps." Just as long as no one saw you doing it, because that could be tres embarrassing. A 6.5? Ana could definitely work with that. She was a 6.5-7 herself so she should have some shoes that fit. In fact, there was that pair which was too small that she'd been planning to resize... They were a wedge heel and it wasn't all that high either. "I have just the shoes. I'll give them to you when we get to school and you can see if they fit, and if you think you'd be comfortable trying to walk in them," Ana told Lux decisively. Ana had to refrain from smiling in amusement as it seemed like Lux was struggling trying to keep up with Ana's family members. A lot of people seemed to have issues with it, although to Ana herself it wasn't all that complicated. Then again it was her family so it shouldn't be. Although her extended family could confuse even her sometimes since there were a lot of them spread out around the world. The family Christmas' were always a good time to catch up and attempt to remember the names of people you only saw once a year. "Potentially yes. I met a girl at school last year who had a pretty adverse reaction to me. Seems a look exactly like her boyfriends best friend. I don't know why that was a bad thing but it was," Ana told her with a slight shrug to indicate that she wasn't really certain on this subject. "It would also be possible that you don't have a double, although of course there are people who'd look similar to you from a distance if not up close." Didn't Lux know that people shared food? "Yep. Like with everything else sharing is caring. You can eat one half of the sandwich whilst another person eats the other half," Ana affirmed, nodding her head slightly to emphasise her point a bit. Ana liked sharing sandwiches. It meant that when she wasn't too hungry she didn't need to worry about wasting food if someone else was going to eat some of it too. "That's very good Lux," Ana praised. Some grown ups didn't seem to know how to accept and respect differences in taste so it was good that Lux did. Ana nodded solemnly as Lux gave her the lo-down on Bart's health, laying a comforting hand on Lux's arm as she talked about not having noticed that the boy was having a stroke in class. "I'm sure a lot of people didn't know Lux. There are signs for these things of course but unless you've read about them or are a qualified healer you really can't have been expected to notice them. It's nothing to feel bad about." She was sure that Bart wouldn't want Lux to feel bad about it either. Besides, in class it wasn't like Lux could have been expected to be paying attention to Bart enough to notice any signs even if she had known what they were, and she was a child herself, even if she was growing up. SPOILER!!: boyfriend Ana turned from Lux, moving to smile hesitantly at Terry as he stood in the doorway. "What do you say Lux? Can Terry join us?" Ana herself didn't mind if Terry stayed, because he was her boyfriend and she always liked having him around, but she wanted to double check with Lux before she agreed. It was only fair. Although she did think that this might be a good opportunity for the two of them to get to know each other better. Considering she loved Terry and adored Lux she wanted them to get along so she could hang out with them both at the same time. "You finally escaped from your mum then?" she asked playfully, having heard part of the lecture he was getting about it being his last year, career path etcetera and was glad that her mamushka wasn't there to give her a similar lecture. Sans the last year part of course. His mum's lecture had only served to make her sad though as it reminded her that this would be the last year that she'd be able to see Terry basically any time she pleased. Although maybe not even as much as that since like she'd been busy with OWLs last year Terry would be busy studying for his NEWTs this year. |
SPOILER!!: We don't mind her at all :3 This was perhaps getting a little creepy. She'd never been in the company of someone that did far more staring than talking...not to this extent, no and the Gryffindor didn't know what to make of it so at first she just stood staring back but that wasn't nearly as satisfying as an actual conversation would have been. ....Maybe, just maybe the girl didn't want to talk to her? Yet another thing she wasn't familiar with but there had to be cases like that, yeah? If that was in fact it then Lex wouldn't push it further, she had a kneazle to find and apparently harrassing little Ravvies would get her nowhere. She did turn to leave but was stopped in her tracks hearing actual words. Plural of word. It made a difference. "Noise? Really? Where? Was it coming from under a seat or like....passing by the compartment...?" Now she felt like she was getting somewhere with this kneazle hunt. In truth he couldn't have gone that far...but then she'd spent quite some time in that line for the food trolley. This was what happened when everyone wanted snacks at the same time. "Don't suppose you might have seen a streak of silver-grey...huh?" His fur was hard to miss once you'd seen it. Also. "I don't think I remember your name..." She admitted with a curious look. That was practically her asking to be reminded, just saying. |

After school..? Ehh. "Well... I want to be a vet but... I've got to do muggle exams so..." It was kind of... a lot of pressure. "I did one over the summer and kinda... failed." Eh. EEEEEH. That's basically how she felt about everything at the moment. Maybe she should just get another lollipop and chill out or something... eh. "Yeah, totally." She could appreciate the cockiness. |

Oh thank you!" said Lucy taking the chocolate! "I can give you one of my sandwiches if you like it! The chocolate reminds me of a dear friend of mine .. a girl of my age .. my neighbor .. a very kind and tender girl named Camilla .. she was very good at telling wonderful stories! It was hard to hide her that I was a witch, but I'm sure she would understand why she was very sensitive .. and you? you left some friends at home?" |
You two ladies! It was interesting how Ana was rather different than her when it came to dresses. "I used to hate them, it's only been in this last year that I've started to change my mind." Willa had been thrilled about this transformation, as it meant that make overs could be given with no fuss. Of course THAT was fine, but having a boyfriend wasn't. Eye roll. "Dancing is wonderful, and I hope that we get to do more of it this term. I also hope that we have another Valentines Day event." The last one had been fun, and now she had a real Valentine to go with! Louis had been wonderful, but she had never felt any romantic interest in him. Ana's offering a pair of shoes up, made the young girl squeal eagerly. "Thank you so much, you are amazing!" Ana was way too kind. It was interesting and a little strange to listen to Ana's encounter. "It would have been even neater if you had met the best friend instead." Though maybe not, because it could be really strange to meet someone who was your exact double. It was also interesting that the girlfriend seemed to have a problem with her boyfriend's best friend. She herself had no issues with any of Bay's friends. In fact, they shared a lot of mutual ones. "I look pretty similar to Willa when she doesn't have blonde hair. Not identical and she is quite older than me... but we do look related." Sharing food wasn't a totally new concept to Lux, since she tended to give Chocolate Frogs away a lot, but still she had never thought of sharing sandwiches. "Hmmm, I suppose I could always do that. But cucumber is my favourite and not everyone likes it. Turkey is nice too!" So that was something she could always share as well. Beaming as Ana praised her realization of food preferences, Lux then listened as the conversation turned to what had happened to Bart at the end of last term. Of course it was true that she wouldn't have known, but still. "You're right. I'm just so glad he is okay now." Hearing a knock then the door slide open, Lux smiled to see that it was Terry. When he asked if he could join them then took a seat, she nodded. "The more the merrier." Why not. Terry was nice, and this was a good chance to get to know him better. Besides, Ana would want to spend some time with him surely, because that is what girlfriends and boyfriends did. "So how are you, Terry? Do anything exciting this summer?" |

"A vet? That's like...a healer for animals, right?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. They'd never had to bring any of their animals to a vet or anything, so he wasn't sure exactly what they did, but it sounded AWESOME. Playing with animals all day? That'd be so cool! Ok, he knew they didn't PLAY all day with them and it was probably super hard. "Well, you've been at a wizarding school, right? And that's a muggle thing? So you'd probably just need to do some muggle classes or something and I'm sure you'd pass!" he encouraged her. Because didn't muggles have some weird sort of Arithmancy and were all SCIENCE-Y and stuff like that? Caleb would have failed too if he tried to attempt all that! |

The girl smiled in response to his laughter, making her eyes crinkle up. It was a sound she practically fed off of. And perhaps whatever had him in such a foul mood was being left behind as the train sped across the countryside. It was true. She didn't know him. Partially why she had been interested in sitting with him. She loved to meet new people. People were interesting. And so he saw 'no errors' with her reasoning. A funny way of speaking, he had there. But that was probably due to his family, or where he was raised. See? People were interesting. "Kanna is short for Kannalynne," she explained. "It's a German name." Or so she had been told. Annalynne and Annaliese were German names, and that was close. Plus, she was German on her dad's side, so... It was a safe thing to say. As for a meaning, she shrugged her shoulders. "I honestly think it might be a made-up name. I've heard it means something like 'fountain of joy', but I've also heard 'music of life' and 'sunshine' and such nonsense. But I've never known for sure. I think it's made up," she said again with a laugh. "And I've never heard your name at all," she said in a bit of a teasing tone. He seemed to be feeling better. Perhaps the move wouldn't have such a terrible outcome. |
SPOILER!!: Yay! <3 Josette immediately nodded in her head in response to the older girl. Yes, she mostly certain that she'd heard a noise coming from somewhere. But where was it coming from? She couldn't exactly remember, it had been so fain that she really didn't get the opportunity to even try to guess where it might have come from. She pursed her lips as she tried to think & come up with a somewhat reasonable guess as to where she'd heard the noise. "M-Maybe it might have been coming from under a seat? But it could've passed by...Although I remember it was more clear in my..left ear when I'd first walked in here..So..perhaps...maybe it came from the corner under the seat..closest to the door?" She shrugged a little bit before suggestively pointing in the direction she'd thought of. Although, she possibly could have been very wrong & her kneazle probably wasn't even in here to begin with. ....Only way for certain to find out.. A silver-grey streak? She slowly shook her head before coming up with a simple, "Not that I can recall.." Oh, she'd wanted to know her name. Right yes, of course. Her name. ..Was she sure she even remembered her own na-WAIT, IT'S JOSETTE, RIGHT RIGHT OF COURSE-OH WAIT- ..BLINK.. "My-My name's Josette.." She gave a faint smile. |

That was a mouthful of a name. To Gareth it sounded much better to him that way than Kanna for some reason he was not sure about. Perhaps with the longer form it sounded more feminine to him and that tiny bit of femininity fit her pretty face. He stared at her face in silence, taking in her features before his gaze moved on her hair. He liked the colour of her hair. It was bright and shiny and... What? Realising what he was doing, the Slytherin quickly tried to block the thoughts of her being attractive. That was not funny. Not funny at all as he didn't really believe any girl around would be good enough for him. "German..." he repeated. Yeah, it obviously was a name of which origin he was not familiar with. "I see. But i don't think those sounded like nonsense to me. Music of life is pretty deep." and even though it was a made up name, Gary thought it had to have a meaning. Maybe she didn't know for sure what it referred to. And she was asking for his name. Since he had sort of started to have a normal conversation with her, he supposed she could very well have his name. "It's Gareth." he said and no, he was not going to start talking about how he was called Gary by some. That was...meh. Of no importance. |
Possibly my last post since the opening feast is open. Quote:
Oh, she was talking. The person to whom the bum belonged was talking. And she was indeed a person, or let's hope that Cutty saw her that way. "I had an excellent summer." And he did. Got to go on his own for once into the markets in Cairo without his uncle. Also, British Columbia was never better. He'd met a girl and the opportunity to emotionally blackmail his step-mother was ever present. He'd work on Treeza. Maybe he'd get a new seadoo out of her by the end of the year for the holidays. "And how was yours?" Quote:
Cutty held his head high as she spoke, recognizing him. His bird? Oh. Oh, the lil tottie on his lap. He tapped his heel against the floor causing the leg on which Angel was perched to rise and fall rapidly. "Tell the lady yer name, loov." "Josie. I wouldn't forget the name of an empress." He said before adding in. "It's Cutty. Cutty Mordaunt." |
