Wrapping it up. :3 SPOILER!!: Simon Ethan puffed his cheeks at the mention of Fuller’s name. Piersie. Haaaaaahahaha! The Slytherin did find a copy of the aparecium stuck to the dungeon’s wall and lo and behold. He thought it to be a prank or something, but with Thompson actually calling him that was…well, did it prove anything? Maybe? Heeeehehehe. “I’ve seen the laboratory and it’s open for everyone who wishes to brew…or practice brewing.” And the fact that Culloden might help them with their quest? That’s going to be more awesome. “We can research in the library first. See what actually goes in that potion.” Ethan said as he scratched his head. He got the feeling though that the potion is a hard one to brew…and that they will have a hard time getting the necessary ingredients. See, that’s the cool part of having siblings. You have people who actually understands you, and that you have them to back you up when things go wrong. Well, not all siblings do that, but the idea fascinates the boy since he’s an only child. “Or maybe you can ask your parents to give you another pet for your birthday.” Right? “When’s your birthday by the way?” Ethan asked as he mused at what he should ask Mordred for Christmas. Hehehehe. He’s sure he won’t turn down his request. The Slytherin’s kind of…spoiled, you see. Mhm. Beach during Christmas? Now that’s something. “That is soooo weird, Simon.” He said as he sat back with a grin, obviously fascinated with the idea. Scorching hot weather in December??? “I just can’t imagine myself in a pair of board shorts in December.” Ethan laughed at the idea, but hey! That’s just so cool. Not everyone can spend their Christmas holidays at the beach, yeah? “I’m pretty sure sandboarding is the same as snowboarding. The only difference would be the clothing, yeah?” And if given the chance, he’d love to meet this Jack person. Teach him a thing or two about sandboarding. Ethan nodded as he listened to Simon. Well, holidays are usually spent with the family right? Although he looks forward to spending time with them, he still has reservations about it. “The usual, I guess? We don’t go anywhere for the winter break, just chilling and relaxing at home with the family.” He wondered if it’s the same with the Mordaunts? You see, this is going to be the first time that he will be spending the holidays with his real dad and real grandparents, uncles and cousins. He’s sure though that he will be hiding behind Mordred most of the time. Heh. “I don’t know, mate.” Ethan said as he sat up straight. He reckons that the professors don’t have a clue about how extra cold it is now. They barely get out of the castle, yeah? Unless the cold air finds its way inside the school, then probably they will take notice. “How about we get inside the castle now? I really do have a bad feeling about this.” Besides, he still got more homework to do. “Why don’t we head to the Great Hall and get something to eat? I still have to finish our homeworks too…” he said as he showed Simon his parchments with half-done assignments. Ethan chucked his things inside his satchel, buttoned up his coat and wrapped his scarf around his neck, ready to head out. “Let’s go?” And yeah, pee break sounds good too. The cold weather’s doing crazy things to his bladder. |

"See you around." The first year smiled a little and waved before turning on her heel and heading for the ladder. Perhaps she'd make a trip to the library to do more research on the squid. YUP. |
For my lovely Jellybean <3 Harley walked upto the treehouse that he had heard about so many times from that brother of his, how he had met quite a few of his girlfriends here. There was no way Harley was meeting any girlfriend of his, he was not into all that mushy love stuff, it was just... why would anyone feel that weak . Yes to him love was a sign of weakness, sure he loved his family but that was different, and girls were a whole different story. Sure he had dated a few in the past but that didnt mean that he was going to be like his brother and fall in love on his first day at school, ugh he remembered the times his brother talked about this Minnie girl in all his letters. Look what happened to his brother by loving these... girlfriends, he ended up a weak and broken person. Harley was certainly NOT going to end up like that. He looked up at the tree thinking of his brother. |

Feeling a little proud she couldn't help but nod her head a little quickly, "M-Mhmm..I played last term...I was a Beater & a C-Chaser.." But it did make her upset though not that long after saying so, since there wasn't any Quidditch this term. Merlin, she missed Captain Mo & her teammates. She was brought out of her thoughts when he'd said he'd want to borrow the book from her. Josette paused & then slowly offered the book outwards towards him & said softly," I-I actually..already finished it..I-I was just brushing up on so tips I-I might try.." Was he interested in playing Quidditch too? ..."H-Hopeless? |
Zoe/Demelza. How many pages after am I? xD SPOILER!!: Demelza "Okay, okay, okay, I stand corrected. I'm sorry that I implied you weren't as talented as you most surely are. I guess I've never really met someone who is talented in all those forms of art, that you are," Cris quickly apologized hoping that he hadn't totally offended Demelza. So he was most happy to change the subject to something more interesting. The Room of Requirement. "You haven't been there yet. How come? To be honest, the only way I found the Room of Requirement was through my brother. Sander's girlfriend told him where to find it, when he was here last term attending Hogwarts. I told Jasmine about it and it was she who wished for the dance studio," Cris explained how he had managed to find it even though Demelza in all her time at Hogwarts, hadn't. "I'll be happy to show you where it is, right after I find that Sixth Floor room ," Cris grinned conspiratorially at Demelza. "...and I'm looking forward to seeing you perform your acting, singing, dance routine." Yes he was and he hoped Jasmine would be able to see her performance too. |

Zander followed the girl, carefully this time as to not have another surprise fumble. Oh, the couch? Should he sit? Or would she get uncomfortable? Maybe he'd just stand? But then she might think that he doesn't like her. Okay then sitting? No standing? No sitting? No. AHHH. Why did girls make him so nervous ALL THE TIME!? "Uhm, do you... Do you, mind if I sit?" he said gesturing to the cushion beside her. Yeah, asking was always the safest bet. He didn't want to make the girl anymore more uncomfortable than she probably already felt. Ugh. Girls. "WOAH!" he exclaimed easily. He was pretty much so impressed that he had forgotten to be all nervous and stuff for a second. "Beater and Chaser?!" Was that even possible? To do BOTH? "You... You must've been, uh, really good?" he said nodding. Woah. All Zander could do was cheer on the sidelines. Before he could think about the matter even more, Josette had already extended the book towards his hands. "No way.... Erm, really? You'd let me... Borrow it?" For real? Weren't Ravenclaws like really attached to their books? WAS THIS A SUDDEN ACT OF FRIENDSHIP, HE SMELLED? "I'm a muggleborn," he explained. "Even though I've been here for two years...." he started to trail off a little, being embarrassed of his lack of Quidditch knowledge. "I haven't really, erm, uh, had the chance to... You know, uh, get aquatinted with the rules," he admitted, blushing even further. Hopefully this didn't make him look like a TOTAL loser. |

O__o Her eyes widened a bit as he suddenly spoke very loudly with one word. Josette hadn't anticipated that at all & her heart actually had quickened from the boy's sudden burst of energy. All she could do in response to his sudden excitement, was a soft nod. But to asking if she was really good was where she'd felt a little unsure. Which was why she ended up giving a shrug of shoulders. Was she good? Honest, she didn't know, she didn't really feel like she was. Maybe her teammates though otherwise? Perhaps he might find out better from Captain Mo? Josette stared at him briefly and then at her book when he seemed to be caught off guard when she'd offered him the book. "I-I don't mind.." ..Just as long as he gave it back though, right? A muggleborn, this was the second time she'd heard this word. But she didn't want to make a big deal of this word, it might come across as rude. He hadn't had the chance to get acquainted with the rules. Well, most of them were right there in the book for him, once he'd read it that was of course. "T-There's a lot...B-But once you understand them, it's p-pretty easy..to u-understand.." Also the flying, the flying was the best part though, as long as you were aware of what's going on around you. Especially when you play beater, but Josie wasn't going to go there at the moment. |
SPOILER!!: Josette <3 Zander felt like a complete idiot just standing there looking so nervous. What an utter fool. There was always time for an escape? He could jump off of the treehouse before she said anything. And then run up to the common room. And never come back. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan-- Just as the thoughts started bubbling up in his head, the girl had started speaking again. Dang it. But oh? He could sit. Okay, that's a start. Zander awkwardly got down on the cushion and wiggled around a bit to get comfortable before looking at her with his big green eyes. "Thanks," he smiled warmly and tugged at his collar a little. Was it starting to get hot up here? Or was it just him.... Zander could tell that he threw her off just then... Oops. He did not mean to do that... He must've just gotten all excited all of the sudden. AH OOPS, sorry Josette. "Sorry, uh, I... Didn't mean to startle you," he apologized to the girl. And then the shrug. She was probably just being modest. Not many people can be BOTH a chaser and a beater. "I... I bet you're just being humble.... You're, erhm, probably really good," he said trying to smile again. Why was this so hard?! Talking to Simon was EASY. But girls. Girls, man, they were hard. "Thanks, I-I promise I'll give it back soon," he assured her. Zander would make sure to take extra good care of it. That way she wouldn't regret letting him keep it for a bit. A lot? She could say that again. If this book was just filled with rules... Then there was definitely a whole ton of them. How could he remember any of it!? On second thought... Maybe he'd just skip the book and watch a Quidditch game instead. That'd probably be more useful... Shame that they had to cancel it this term. Awh. The one time he would've actually been interested. "Is it hard... you know, trying to f-fly and score goals all at the same time?" he asked. Because if anything, that was definitely the most intimidating part of Quidditch. All the multitasking. You had to steer clear of budgers, try to score with the quaffles, dodge other players, and fly high above the ground all at the same time. Just thinking about it gave the boy a massive headache. How did Josette do it? |

Josette did turn her attention towards him though when he apologized to her for startling her. She shook her head quickly, "I-It's not your fault.." From the looks of it he hadn't meant to, so that she supposed was alright, so how could she be upset at him if he hadn't meant to? If he had meant to though, she probably would've just simply gotten up & left to leave him there without a word. But, that didn't seem like that would be happening, because he had apologized. "H-Humble? ...I-I don't think so..." She really wasn't being humble, honest. Did he ever see her other teammates play? Like Sophie? Or Captain Mo? Benjy? Vesper? Honest, the list went on, ALL of her teammates were so skilled, all she felt was that she was still learning. Especially her aim as Beater. But again, she was going to get into that. Josie looked at Zander & smiled a little bit as he promised he'd give her back her book, that was quite the relief she had to admit. Was it hard trying to fly and score goals at the same time? Taking a moment to go back in her mind so she could think about trying out, practicing, scrimmaging, even playing matches. There was a lot now that she thought about it. How had she managed to do all of that? It was quite interesting. But perhaps the best answer she could come up with for Zander was, "B-By having l-lots of practice? I-I suppose not...B-But my first match..I-I was very scared.." Although it did make her think of something more, "L-Last term though, I-I accidentally an o-older girl with a Bluger-B-BUT I-IT WAS AN A-ACCIENT, I SWEAR!" She covered her mouth feeling embarrassed about suddenly bursting like that...and for hitting that girl. Actually come to think of it, "I-I think she's a school P-Prefect..." What was her name again? |
SPOILER!!: Josetteee His mother had told him over the summer that the first step to making new friends is eye contact. So Zander tried his best to look in Josette's eyes at every opportunity, but it just looked like eye contact was the one thing she wanted to avoid. Did that mean that she didn't want to be friends?! What is a boy supposed to do in these kinds of situations!? Does he just accept the fact that she doesn't want to be friends?! Or was his stare too intense? Okay maybe he should look at the floor too... Maybe she just liked how the floor looked. No, okay thinking too hard again. "It's a uh... very comfortable couch," VERY COMFORTABLE COUCH!? IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY, YOU IDIOT!? Ugh. Friendship is hard. Zander let out a small breath, that he had been holding in, in relief. Phew. The last thing he wanted to do was upset the girl. That would definitely ENSURE that she didn't want to be his friend. And then she'd never make eye contact ever again. So yes, it's a good thing she wasn't angry or anything. "Practice?" he repeated as if it were a foreign concept. "So... did you, practice before you came to Hogwarts?" he asked curiously. It was intriguing. Especially because Josette did not strike (heh) Zander as the aggressive type. She was almost even as shy as he was. It was just neat to see that the girl had a totally different side on the Quidditch field. Now it was his turn to be all startled and such. Zander definitely was NOT expecting Josette to jump so suddenly. But the worst part was, that the girl looked even more terrified than Zander did in that moment. He could really tell that it was bothering her. Without realizing what he was doing, he instinctively put his hand on her shoulder and gave her an earnest look. "Hey, it's okay," he said nodding his head attempting to reassure her. "I'm sure that the girl isn't holding a grudge...... It's not like you were trying to hurt her though, so it's okay," He nodded his head again. Besides I-I may not know a lot about Quidditch, but isn't the beater... supposed to send bludgers towards other players? |
SPOILER!!: Zander Was this the kind of boy her father had been warning her about? Was he dangerous? Josette couldn't quite figure that out at the current moment, although, she was having a bit of difficulty thinking that he might be, mainly because of what had happened just a few minutes ago on the balcony. But she couldn't help but feel that feeling of a bit of cautiousness when he was looking at her more times than she could count, well from what her peripheral vision was telling her was anyways. What was that he'd said? The couch was comfortable? Josette slowly turned to look at him before feeling the couch with her hand to test that herself. She bit her lower lip before nodding in agreement, "Mhm..I-It's pretty comfortable.." Taking notice of this breath he had just made, had been a bit curious to the twelve year old. Was he trying to hold his breath or something? Wasn't that particularly dangerous to do? Wouldn't he faint from holding his breath so long? Well, at least that's what her father said would happen, or worse. But he won't tell her what that worse thing is though -Oh he was talking. Her attention being brought back to him as he'd questioned her answer to his question about Quidditch. Wasn't practice the answer though? "Mhmm.." But then he asked another question, had she practiced before coming to Hogwarts, to which she shook her head no. "N-No, I'd n-never played before I started c-coming to school here..M-My father wasn't very happy at the t-thought of me flying..H-He says it's too dangerous.." Josette quickly adjusted herself & tried calming herself down after seeing that it was she who had startled the boy this time. Just as she was preparing to apologize again, she froze almost instantly as she watched him suddenly reaching out towards her to place his hand on her shoulder & give her this...look. With a bit of a confused & upset look, she looked back at him as he spoke. It looked like he was trying to comfort her or something, OH- that was what he was doing! But still she was very upset about the whole thing. "I-I know..I-It's just...I felt s-so bad after it had happened..Before then I-I had never actually hit someone with a bludger...I-It was pretty scary..." |
SPOILER!!: Josette Zander was kind of freaking out on the inside. Not that he could show it on the outside though. That would probably freak Josette out too. But she was probably already freaked out. There was just a lot of freaking out going on at the moment. Mostly because he didn't know what to say. Or what he should say. Or what she'd what him to say... And that was mostly because he didn't really know how to talk to girls at all. They were so complicated and confusing and stuff. Just. Girls. You know? The Gryffindor bit his lip as he waited for her response.... PHEW! She didn't laugh in his face at the lameness of what he had said about the couch. If it were some other chick, they definitely would've laughed. "... So... Besides reading and Quidditch, wh-what other things do you like to do?" he said with a nod to the book. That's a good way to keep a conversation going right? Asking questions? Maybe. AH. "Oh..." So she hadn't practiced before she came? "So you must just be a natural then?" Because if she could actually play when she just started, WOAH. That must take some talent. Some talent that, Zander didn't have, heh. "But... but I bet your father is proud now... after-after seeing how you did and stuff?" Was her father still upset that she was playing Quidditch? Because he wounded pretty protective. And if Josette liked playing, then he might be holding her back or something, which the Gryffindor did not like. Nope. Because he knew all about being held back by family. And it is not fun. O__O What was that look she was giving him?? It almost threw Zander off his game. Almost. But his attempt at the "comforting" look did not falter. Because he would not be thrown off his game. He was really trying, okay!? "Well I'm, I'm sure that she's not angry still..." he said trailing off a little bit to think some more. "And, you know, if you still feel guilty... You-you could still go to her and explain that you're sorry?" He had never done this comfort thing before. So he wasn't really sure if he was doing it right.... But he was giving it a try? So that should count for something. |
This icy, frigid, snow-filled virulent winter is beginning to esclate toward blizzard levels with a polar vortex wind chill suddenly sweeping the grounds on top of the already high snow drifts. Brrr! Best get indoors now before the snow covers you to your frostbitten nose! It looks like Hogwarts may already be in the process of being snowed in.... OOC: All grounds threads will shortly be locked in light of this snowpocalypse. You have about 24 hours to finish your RPs and get in the castle! |
