The Snakes sit under a beautiful silver and green banner representing their house. Their solid, shiny wooden table is nicely polished with all the place settings perfectly set. The food will arrive after the Headmistress' traditional feast speech. To all Slytherins, both new and old: enjoy the feast!

Ror decided to leave out the fact that she was bringing up Mel as her successor whenever the day came for Rorie to actually be defeated.

Boys, especially Slytherin ones, could be SO literal sometimes.

Ravenclaws were better for banter.

"I'm never funny, sir. Promise. I'm sometimes silly and occasionally clever, but never funny." So he could worry about... oh, Ruby was here. He should worry about her.

That fashion design winner girl appeared, which Dot found odd. Gryffindors generally kept to themselves, especially before the speech, and yet this girl was just plopping down like she belonged. Worse, she was plopping down by Cutty, which was just not done. Cutty was a bully boy, but he was their bully boy.

She couldn't hear the words the girl muttered to her housemate, but they were definitely threatening. Oh hells no. Gryffindor girls didn't show up at the Slytherin table and boss around Dot's housemates. Nope.

"Someone impersonated you? How do you know? Did they do a good job of it? How could you tell that it was a guy impersonating you? I mean, maybe it was a girl just trying to get down your naturally masculine mannerisms, you think?" Dot tilted her head and made interested faces. Go back to your table, Lion.

Mmmk, she was dunzo with the Gryffindor, and happy to turn her attention back to her Head Minion. He got a really genuine grin this time, and Dot flipped her red curls at him again. It was such a boss move, after all, and she had worked so hard to perfect it. "Nothing yet, Mr. Minion. Can I keep you posted? Maybe we need to set up some sort of notification system when I need you."

He said stroking the side of the Hufflepuff Prefects face playfully and flirtatiously as his head rested on the boy's shoulder. He knew Adi wouldn't take it seriously and even if he did he wasn't likely to lose his cool over it.

It was Caleb Cutty was taking a risk with. But the reactions tell one so much. So he had to do it. Probably not tonight, though. Cranky Caleb would be alive and well after a train ride home and if IF there were incidents it was a no go. Thinking of Caleb...

Text Cut: Caleb, Puck & Dot

"Playing? I prefer to think of it as applying the practical knowledge of what we learned in class and in our textbooks." Which was a pretty solid yes. "Booht, thanks for not narkin' on me. I thought yew'd sussed me out earlier." But there again Caleb Newell did have a front-row seat to the Cutty Mordaunt experience.

"I'm trying out a new thing." He began, going into explaining how he planned to apply a system of credit to his candy selling business for repeat buyers and some of the older students. But that was about when they were joined by Puck Greyvson herself.

Cutty looked over at Puck amused at her threat. He wasn't afraid of loss. And anyway, how was she going to do that. He had the Slytherins above and beneath him. Perhaps, though Rorie would help her. Though there was the glaring fact that at that moment in time, he had something Rorie wanted. And it was as for sale as it had always been. The price, though could've been negotiated.

Also, who said it was hair?

"The nerve of some people!" This could be kinda fun. Before he could say much on the matter, however the girls began to talk.

Cutty caught the hardlook Dot was giving him and sorta correctly interpreted it. He raised his eyebrows once and smiled faintly with a smirky sort of smile at her. Whatever she'd thought of him, whatever she'd heard, no matter how nefarious, he was sure he'd done it. Even if he hadn't done it. Even if he'd been in Cleveland the entire time. He'd done it. Oh yeah, baby. That was all him. The smile then disappeared behind Dante's water goblet.

Moments later some of that water came spurting out across the table and probably hitting Beverly, Dante and Rorie, perhaps even Puck herself. What the hell did Goosey just say? In the wild, it was the baby rattlers that were considered most deadly for they never knew exactly how much poison to inject and would often over do it.

"What if yer not the real Puck Greyvson either?" He asked the real Puck Greyvson enjoying the opportunity of messing with her a bit. Not maliciously of course. There was no benefit and she came him no cause. Also, it was hella impractical to try to take all things all the time.

"Hey Lecium." It had been fun that duel they did. He'd only just met Kace, but so far so good. He wasn't a total brick and didn't get hung up on his own personal ideals or try to shove them down Cutty's throat. Nothing petty either. Not that the snake could see.

And the little flirting girl. Her name was apparently Echo. And she apparently shared an acquaintance with Kace. She seemed awfully young too now that Cutty got an up close look at her. He hadn't noticed that before. There again, some individuals looked a great deal off in the ages here. And after that term that he'd turned into a raisin he'd sort of abandoned judging people for not looking their age. It was hard to tell anyway with magical interference always ready to rear it's head. If Caleb flirted back with an equally engaging Heeey! maybe he'd be double datin' with Kace. Cutty thought that'd be interesting.

"Oh, Braedon. Yeah." Cutty thought back to his first encounter with Braedon. "I'd actually met him quite a while ago in Diagon Alley, but we didn't say much to each other then." What did he think of Braedon? Cutty's thoughts were electric with all manner of uses a guy like Braedon could have. "He is a wise man, Kace. A very wise man." He knew pretty much everything and just volunteered information too. No manipulation necessary.

They were soon joined by another young snake. It was Barrington. Silent as ever. But who at this school hadn't witnessed a thing or two. It gave Cutty the impression that Dante was very good at keeping secrets. Also, looking hungry. Which gave Cutty the opportunity to introduce a new form of chocolate.

"Try a snapping turtle. It's the snack that bites back." The little chocolate turtles, in much the same way chocolate frogs were charmed to leap, would snap down upon the eater's tongue once in the mouth and cling until melting. Which meant that you could run and jump and play til your hearts content without fear of losing your chocolate. Although, the makers claimed that it prevented choking, a rival chocolate company argued otherwise.

Text Cut: Jenna

"Hey. Welcome to Slytherin." He said smiling at the wee firstie. He wanted her to say something, because he liked to laugh to himself about the squeaky voice they still had, but this one was very quiet. "I'm Cutty Mordaunt, 6th year and best friends with both Prefects. If yer need anything don't be afraid to ask." He offered perhaps unintentionally reading as a bit poisonous.

Spending more time with his cousin was an idea. He didn't dislike Ethan. At all, really. Had he changed like night and day? Cutty thought so. At least from his initial introduction to the boy. He was more of a goofball. Playing the mandolin poorly in the common room and ill-fitting at the Slytherin table. He still was a bit. Despite having worn the title of prefect. Ethan was a diamond amongst razors. And he stuck out all the more with Simon scarce these days. "Hey Ethan." There wasn't anyone there to buddy up with. And he'd seen a sort of fierce loyalty from Ethan that was rare.

"We should hang out more." Okay, but that was a little random.

With Caleb and Ethan talking, Cutty actually noticed some similarities between the two boys. Healer Murdoch was totally type casting.

Text Cut: Grayson & Ruby

"Nar! Mine was awful! Course it twas. I didn't get ter see yer beautiful face!" He flirted with Grayson Whitlock as he often did.

Then he heard it.

Then he saw it.

Then he had to do everything in his power to keep from making jokes about things in clothing and gladness to see even though they wouldn't have worked because Ruby Banner was a girl.

"Ruby Banner, why is your tummy going Mew! Mew!" And that last part he actually did raise his voice an octave higher to imitate the kitten.

"Burton." Cutty greeted the 7th year back. "Ready for yer final year?" Which reminded him. It was Grayson's final year too. And Toby's. He tried hard not to smile creepily at the thought of influence a 7th year has. Maybe he'd asked Zhenya to mentor him. If she had time. Sometimes the entire year is spent studying.

Cutty caught the deadish expression of the tricked-fairly-pseudo girlfriend in the reflection of their shiny dinner plates before her attention was turned to Puck. "It was delicious as every pie stolen with love inevitably is." He shot a look over at Gryffindor, his big dark eyes searching for Damien Anderson-Belfort and making plans to meet up with him.

Cherry Blossom something was wafting through the air announcing the best-friend's presence. Cutty turned his head to see the not-disappointing sight of Beverly Wayne. Another terminal termer. Boo! Maybe he could mess with her grades and hold her back. But then he'd miss the benefit of having a friend out in the real world making that elephant path.

He still hadn't met her dad, though. Why? Was Bev somehow asham...

Bev's tiny little arms were around his arms and he was being squished. Was he cursing him? Had someone started a rumour that he needed to deny? No, wait, no...This was...Bev was HUGGING him.

When she did her usual greeting, though it was as if someone had wiped his memory clean. "Wayne." He replied casually taking a drink from his Dante's water glass just in case his was poisoned. "Have a good summer?"

Rorie was about to retort to Cutty's 'with love' comment, when her ears caught the snide remark Dot made to Puck. She had promised to herself that she'd keep her mouth shut and was trying to do so by gritting her teeth. Yet, the thought of all the times Puck had stood up for her was nagging at the back of her brain. "Oi, why don't you back off, Dot?" She sighed, "She's just here to visit me, her friend." Ror kept her voice low, but stern enough to get the point across. If you only knew how much control this was taking and Cutty's spit take was making it even harder. Her body trembled with rising anger as she wiped off Cutty cooties off her face. "Nice."

Quote:

"Don't smile at me. I'm thinking of a hundred ways to set your pants on fire," Dot groused at Cutty. It was very difficult for her to figure out how she felt about him at the moment, since she was mad and protective and grumpy and possessive. Feelings were terrible, especially when the source of her wrath was smirking at her.

And the spit-take. How did she feel about that? HOW DID SHE FEEL? "You are impossible. Don't you sometimes look at yourself in the mirror and wonder how nature produced such an enigma? You're like a platypus with a giraffe neck." And it made her grumpy.

Her grumpiness was reprieved by the appearance of a new face. A firstie with smiles for everyone. That was endearing, it was. "Tabby, like a cat? I'm Dot, like a polka. Fourth year. You'll like our common room. We can watch the squid right out the windows."

"Thank you," Dot propped her fist on her chin and looked up at Adi with big eyes. She'd learned how to hair flip with much much practice, and it was nice to be noticed. Of course, with the girls at this school, it wasn't like there was a lack of viable hair flipping candidates to observe.

"I know that spell. That's how I talk to my Ravenclaws. I can use it, but do you promise to come when I ask? Otherwise, what's the point?" She could just send airplanes to herself.

So there were two ways to play this. Take the call out and come back in kind.... or play dumb. Dot was a snake, not a foolhardy lion, so she didn't feel like she had to man up to her feelings. But she also didn't trust that Puck would know what she'd done wrong without being led by hand all the way to the moral of the story. Gryffindors. Sigh. FEELINGS WERE AWFUL.

"She shouldn't threaten my housemate. Only Slytherins get to threaten Slytherins. It's like how siblings work. But I'm honestly sorry if I made you mad, Rorie, because you have the best hair in the house and I regret upsetting you." Circular Dot logic.

”That sounds like fun,” Puck laughed when she heard Dot’s reaction. Yes, a normal person would have been offended to hear that they were called masculine – but that’s the thing. Confidence and an appreciation of geek culture often made people think a girl was masculine. So what harm was there in that?

“Dot, let me first say congratulations on your WHiM designs they were great,” she meant it. It wasn’t that she was trying to smooth the little snake’s scales no, that would just be a perk of a well, job well done? Still Dot’s questions were actually understandable.

“That’s the thing, I think if it were a girl they would have tried to exaggerate my personality and mannerisms…” she nodded, “that and I’m certain it was Cutty because of how he ate the raspberries…” she informed kindly laughed when she heard Cutty’s response.

“Oh…its my memories and I can tell there’s a big lump of coal where my heart should be” she informed and grinned over to Cutty as she too was joking with them. Still, Puck raised her brow at Rorie when she heard her telling Dot to back off.

Oh? Dot thought the threat was real? “Oh Dot don’t worry if anyone actually threatened Cutty I’d come to his defense…I was just letting him know that I knew” she informed and grinned. “Besides, he’s a friend. I’d never actually hurt him.” She informed. He was a slytherin, and she was well…”besides, if you really know me you would know that I’m more Slytherin than Gryffindor” she admitted. It was the truth. She was a snake in lions clothing.

Another year, another feast, not the same people, and that's what was always interesting, but the train ride here had been rather uneventful, as usual, and right now he was only hoping it would all stay uneventful, unlike last year. Why? Because he wasn't in the mood for lectures of any kind.

For once, Oleander was tired, yet kept paying attention to his surroundings, just in case something extraordinary happened.

Food is more than welcomed, by the way.

RedRabbit · 05-05-2015, 03:49 AM

*Walking into the great hall, Noah still had an evil smirk plastered across his face. He had gotten even with Daisy for busting his leg last year. Finding a seat he sat down waiting for the food. But then he remembered something, this was where he met his friend. His friend that was now dead thanks to that dark forest. He had forgotten his promise that he had made to himself at the end of last term. That he would go after the dark creatures in the forest my his home. What would it prove? Nothing, and he knew that, but it might make him feel better. Noah never handled loss very well, big or small.
But he was distracted from his promise by his stupid family. His mother wanted to come back into his life now, after nine years. His mother was the last person he would ever want to get back into contact with but his sister and father had other plans. That spoiled his summer holidays for sure. But at least now he was back at Hogwarts away from his father and the chance of being forced to see his mother.*
"She didn't want us before, so why couldn't she just stay away..."
*He mumbled to himself as he watched his sister Emma at the Gryffindor table skip over to her friends smiling.*

Lissy Longbottom · 05-05-2015, 03:53 AM

Ah, there was Rorie, the girl with the pink hair who had caused so much FUSS last term. Caleb tried not to stare at her, but it was hard...after all, would she really be that surprised if he kept an eye on her? Did she really blame him? Sure enough, after no more than a few minutes, some tension seemed to break out between her and Dot - and of course Cutty was in the middle of it. Because Cutty.

But Caleb was relieved to see that the younger girl apologized and didn't seem to mean any harm by it. Trying not to glance at them too often, he looked back at his goblet of pumpkin juice and took a sip. Trying to stay cool and collected, while also keeping an eye on things - being a Prefect was a real ART form, you know.

Anyways, back to Dot...

"Sir? Geez, way to make me feel old," Caleb said with a chuckle, shaking his head. SIR was his father. Well, ok, Caleb was ALSO his father...but you know. Caleb was sixteen. Not a sir.

"Anyways, have a good summer, Dot? Since you stayed out of trouble and all," he added with a polite smile. This summer had been AWESOME for him, so he assumed everyone ELSE had a great summer too.

Once he'd made sure that Rorie and Dot weren't going to kill each other, he turned his attention to Puck, his co-prefect who had decided to join them. AHA! SO IT WAS CUTTY!

"What loonie guy wants to impersonate a GIRL?" he joked with a jesting grin at the Gryffindor prefect before turning to Cutty and feigning a head shake of disappointment. "Why am I friends with you again?" he asked his dorm mate.

Seriously. He questioned it on a daily basis.

But back to serious stuff..."Nah, I wouldn't narc on ya," he assured his friend softly with a shrug. "I mean, unless you murdered someone and tried to pin it on Puck. No harm no foul, yeah?" he added with a sly grin. Caleb hadn't really done ANYTHING bad during his time at Hogwarts, if they found out he let a Polyjuice convict slip past him - and not do ANYTHING bad, really - how mad would they get? Seriously? Not mad, he was guessing.

Oh, Adi was talking to him...about OWLs. Gross. But Caleb had expected these convos to pop up...and he had determined (after a few angry runs around his neighborhood to let off steam) that he was DAMN PROUD of his results. Runes was stupid. No one needed it. That helped him feel at ease about the whole thing..."Pretty good, passed 11 of them! More than my dad ever did," he said with a grin. "You?" he asked. He was sure Adi did just as well, if not better. Hmm. He was curious to hear what everyone else had gotten on Runes. Had a lot of people failed? That would DEFINITELY make him feel better.

Speaking of OWLs...Caleb turned to Ethan and grinned. "No prob, mate! I know you had a rough one...good to hear you did well, though," he added with a genuine smile and a pat on the back. That was an accomplishment, it really was...being sick with dragon pox and then doing well on OWLs? Caleb wouldn't have been able to do it. He would have had to be committed to St. Mungos. "It was good, nice and relaxing...but yeah, not long enough to recover from those exams!"

Now to Kace, who seemed like he was definitely trying to NOT talk about graduation. Caleb didn't blame him. The thought of being an adult was just awful. "Nah, I can't imagine you'd want to sneak back in here, just to sneak into the kitchens. Food in the real world can't be THAT bad, right?" he joked.

"Yeah, I guess so - I just hope no one, you know..." he trailed off, his hand waving, hoping that Kace knew what he was implying (Death. He didn't want anyone to DIE) "...this term. That was a rough one," he said with a shrug. Seriously. His luck had been the WORST last term. Sure, not as bad as Greg's, but...it was HIS house, ya know?

Yeah, so just...no death please.

And finally...Grayson. Hehe. Caleb grinned. "Oh yes. Just HORRIBLE. Relaxing and letting off all that steam after OWLs. Bloody awful. So you looking forward to your la..." he trailed off, however, when Ruby finally made her way to the table - WAVES HELLO for you, Ruby - and...pulled a kitten out of her bag.

What.

First a Puck imposter on the train, now Ruby giving her boyfriend a kitten? He thought the Banner sister was supposed to be GOOD with boys - did she not know what a GIRLY gift a CAT was? He was surprised Grayson wasn't running for the hills. A girl giving a guy a LIVING thing was like...asking him to give her a ring and move into a flat above the Leaky with her. That was RESPONSIBILTY.

He was going to ask WHY Ruby was giving her a boyfriend a kitten, but...nope. He didn't care that much. He wasn't sure he wanted to know, honestly. He wasn't sure he wanted to know ANYTHING that was going on in his house this term. Everyone seemed to have gone loony over the summer.

Great impression they were making on the firsties, which, SPEAKING OF...

"Hey everyone! Welcome to Slytherin!" he called to the youngsters as they approached the table. We aren't all weirdos, I promise.

Symphora · 05-05-2015, 04:11 AM

Henric shrugged,"Yeah, we could if we want to but formally we need to ask permission from the professors first before we hold such an event ..we could ask the other students if they want their toads to compete in the race, unofficially we could just use Hogwarts grounds for practice runs,"he suggested.

"Nicee...I'm sure Princess will be in cloud nine for sure, she loves getting new things and being fed to,she is truly living up to her name," he laughed.

Henric was a little baffled by her,she really was serious about adopting a pet rock. It must have meant something to her if she was to disobey her mother. But technically, she wasn't because rocks were not animals.They were just rocks,non-living things,aren't they? Henric was curious, she was thinking that 'Princess" would need a new friend to play with. Maybe she was right, their toad might get a little lonely sometimes by herself but he wouldn't allow any male toad to come near her little princess.Being protective as he was, he thought Princess was still too young for any "personal relationship" going on.

"Alright then, tell me what you find there, and if its anything male and living...just leave it alone,"he told her, with a slight authorative tone.

Ginevra · 05-05-2015, 06:14 AM

Cilla's holidays were very eventful. Her and her family had moved from Liverpool to London to make her schooling a bit easier. Now it seemed all that activity had gotten to her. She didn't feel like involving herself too much as she was too tired. Cilla was also hoping that there was no shenanigans like the previous term.

Awarlesta Black · 05-05-2015, 06:28 AM

Quite taken aback by the apology being given to her by Dot, Ror kept quiet for a few moments. In what seemed to be some sort of shock. Coming back, she cleared her throat and straightened herself up. "Understood and like Puck says, it wasn't sincere. It was...a joke, I suppose." Look, Cutty, look! She was being mature. The redhead had a point though. Ror did have the best hair in the house. Haaaairrr fliiiiipp. Peace handshakes all around.

Feeling much more like herself, instead of her gloomy, gross side, she finally looked up and around. Catching the eye of Caleb in doing so for a quick glimpse. "Wha's the matter, Prefect boy?" She toyed, drinking out of her goblet. "Afraid I'll do something horrible? Or have you just never seen a pretty girl before?" Rorie contained the smile fighting to be seen at the memory of that time Cutty tried to convince her to ask Caleb to be her fake boyfriend. Come on, Cutters, come on.

Text Cut: Ruby & Grayson

Grayson tried not to roll his eyes and make a sarcastic comment, which was VERY hard to do, by the way. Where was his medal? His award? His celebration party? "'Sup, Caleb? Had a horrible summer? Did you miss me?" It's okay to admit it, Mr Prefect. No one is gonna judge you.

Ugh. NEWTs. "Not in the slightest. It's gonna suck the fun outta life." What? It was true! "Looking forward to sixth year?" And really, what was up with that grin?

"'Sup, Adi!" he said, smirking slightly at the Hufflepuff. Dude was cool and all and always sat here. GOOD. Keep coming, Adster. And his advice had helped? "See? I'm not just a pretty face." Wink. Brains AND brawn. The world was such a lucky place, wasn't it?

"But FREAKING YEAH, YOU PASSED THEM! Give it here!" he called, holding out his hand and clenching his fist. Fistbump? Yeah?

If anyone else -- minus a select few, of course -- had given him a thump on his arm, Grayson would have seriously considered whacking them one. But, after a moment of looking confused, the boy realised who it was from and -- yeah, you guessed it -- smirked at the newcomer.

"You checking to see if your bodyguard's ready to do some protecting?" He even flexes his muscles for the girl and kisses his bicep. Because, you know, they looked great and all. Even if you couldn't see it through the sleeves of his robes.

And yes, he had been working on these bad boys.

How was his summer? "Dude, it was freaking awesome!" Well, kinda, but how could he miss an opportunity to brag? "Tons of pool parties and I got to stay at Ruby's for a bit," Which was fun for obvious reasons that he wasn't gonna mention out loud. "How was yours? Do anything fun?"

Seventh years. SEVENTH years. "It kinda does sound freaky and all." Shrug. "But I like the thought of being top of the school. Man, does it feel GREAT!" Obviously, he was forgetting about the NEWTs LOL.

Text Cut: Ruby and Cutty and Ruby again

SMIIIIIRK.

"Oh Cutty Mordaunt, you sure know how to make me happy." Wink. "We should fix that, you know. The not seeing my beautiful face thing. Maybe we'll end up seeing more of each other this year." You know, maaaaaaybe.

And then Ruby Banner made her entrance.

And Grayson Whitlock was just staring. Partly because she was hotter than lava and partly because the sight of her with a small bump under her jumper was............ well. It just hurt his heart, mkay? And it was kinda becoming harder and harder to breathe. Or he'd just forgotten how to. You know, whatever.

So, naturally, he stared at her as she sat down next to him. He hardly even registered the fact that there was a mewing coming from her jumper because of that. FREAKING. Bump! JEEZ, man. How was he meant to concentrate on anything with THAT?!

And then she spoke and brought him riiiiiight back to earth. She had something for him? "Did you get me something dirty or something inno--"

Wait.

WAIT. JUST HOLD THE FREAKING PHONE.

Eyes wide, Grayson STARED at the kitten. Yeah, that's right, he was being given a KITTEN. Why? Merlin knew, man. He wasn't forgetting their anniversary, was he? "You........ you got me a kitten?" A cute one too but NO ONE is gonna EVER know about that. Reaching over, the seventh year took hold of the little girl kitten and held her in his arms. No smirking was happening, only a warm smile and some stroking of the kitten's fur. "'Sup, little dudette. I'm Grayson and you're mine, mkay?" MINE.

.......... What was he meant to do with this thing again?

"What's the special occasion, Rubes?"

Getting a smile from Brook meant one of three things:
a) She had gotten nicer over the summer and actually acknowledged and appreciated his handsome appearance
b) She was only pretending to be nice
and c) This wasn't actually Brooklyn Andrews.

All sounded pretty realistic and all.

Still, the boy smiled back at her and have her a 'sup nod before saying, "'Sup, Brook! Had a good summer?"

Cutest couple? LOL, this was because of the Yearbook, wasn't it? The thought of it made him smirk because heck YEAH, they were the cutest couple. But also...... "More like hottest couple, my man." WINK.

He couldn't resist, mkay?

Name it something macho? Grayson held the kitten up and tilted his head. The kitten ended up tilting her head the same way as him, making his icy cold heart melt a little. Just a little. "I could but she's a girl kitten. Need to find a nice name for her and all."

MAN, Ethan was looking so buffed up recently. Grayson couldn't help but admire it juuuuuust a little. Not that he was into the dude, but he kinda liked to think of it as his own handiwork. Kinda. They DID have an interesting talk in the boy's dorms about......... lulz. LULZ.

What was discussed in the boys dorms STAYED there. No one else needed to know.

And cue a wiggling of the eyebrows. "Bet you were walking around topless more times than Bellaire has told people off." Which was probably a lot but whatever. "Did you get to show your special lady friend the goods?" Oh, how he had missed this over the holidays.

'We have to make it count' Now THERE was a line that he DEFINITELY liked the sound of. So, smirking was happening. Uh huh. "Another boy's talk is definitely in order. It'll be interesting, to say the least."

Seeing Dante doing the sup nod only made Grayson smile and feel proud inside. Was this what it felt like to be mushy gushy? Kinda sickly sweet wasn't it?

He hated that.

"You're getting better at those, you know." Which was a huge compliment coming from Whitty.

You know, like Agatha.

In any case, right now, there were more MEWs coming from her jumper. And she was about to break Grayson Whitlock. Was everyone watching? Because she was. His heart would implode and he would be at her mercy, she just knew it, and was smug about it in advance.

Another demanding little MEW was all the encouragement she needed. They were getting louder, those noises, so she reached under her jumper and extracted the culprit.

"I got you a kitten. You have to name her."

Hush? HUSH? Cutty's already large eyes grew as he feigned an expression that very clearly said Can you believe this impossible woman??? Hushing me when I haven't even said anything??? His hand gestured out and he looked from snake to snake as if trying to gain their support. This ended with him shaking his head and going back to Dante's water. It was at about that time when the tiny striped head and small nosed MEWer had made her appearance.

"Congratulations, Whitty! It's a kitten." Cutty had not ever seen a cat with the markings such as the one Ruby produced from her jumper. It was a cream and tan stripe. Maybe it was partially kneazle. Alexa told him they were smart and a worthwhile pet if Cutty had ever thought of getting a pet. He had thought of getting himself a little animal companion, but calling it a pet wouldn't be entirely accurate and much magical experimentation would be performed upon it. Cutty felt this would ruin the purposes of having an animal as intelligent as a kneazle, but it would've worked for Ruby and Grayson.

Maybe they could train it to do Ruby's NEWTs. They had a year.

"Merlin Grayson! Yer gehrlfriend joost gave yer a kitten and here yer are shamelessly invitin' me oop ter yer summer loov cabin! Yer utterly ruthless!" He smiled as if it all were such a very good thing. He'd probably take up Grayson's offer too, although between Cutty & Ruby it probably would not have ended in the way Grayson (or any adjusted human being for that matter) thought it would.

Text Cut: Zhenya

"Comme Ci Comme Ça. The important thing was I took them." Cutty liked learning, but in terms of trying to impress anyone with his smarts, he'd rather keep what he knew to himself. Unless it was giving Agatha Hapgood private tutelage. He thought about the bloody nose she'd given him the last time they tried that. Good times. Good times. "Got any tips to survive 6th year?"

And there was Grayson’s girlfriend. “Looky, it’s the cutest couple!” But then wait… what was that? Meow? It had only been one meow but his hearing was reasonable. The Hufflepuff tilted his head trying to figure out where the sound came from. “Did you guys hear a kitten or something?” Oh, wait! Never mind! “I knew I heard one of those.’’ For Ruby had brought out a little fluff ball. “Name it something macho, Grayson,’’ Adi suggested. It was a guy kitten riiight?

“Pretty impressive hair flip you got there, Dot.’’ He figured it hadn’t taken the little Snake to master the move. Little Snake, though? Riiiiight. The girl was already in THIRD year. Gosh, where did the time go? Oh! A method of contact? “Hmmm. You could always enchant a parchment airplane to zoom into my dorm through a window,’’ he suggested, very much liking the idea of that. Hehe. Guys. Some of them really never grew up. Speaking of third years… “Hey, Brooklyn!’’

“It sounds like you’ve got them all figured out, Zhenya.’’ Adi hadn’t noticed any Puff transfers as yet. Or maybe he had missed them since he left the Hufflepuff table. Ah, well. There would be plenty of time to catch up with them later. “Looking forward to your last year? Want it to go by fast?’’ Because Adi knew some students were eager to graduate.

What, what, WHAT was Cutty doing? O__O Adi sat there not sure of what to do as Cutty narrowed the gap between them… and then Cutty’s head was on his shoulder. Then there was the whole finger thing against one side of his face.

This was one of those rear times when Aditya Rehman was lost for words. LOL.

So how did the Puffer handle this situation? The same way he handled loads of stuff… he got his sense of humour out. “It’s easy to do whenever I look into your eyes,’’ he said and straining not to laugh though he did pull back his face out of Cutty’s finger’s reach. Noooooo giving his friend the wrong idea here. “I try, Cutty, I try. But it’s difficult to find the right things to say to you sometimes.’’ A bit of a snigger escaped from him. “I hope you got loads of sweets for your best customer.’’ There was no way he was letting Cutty be occupied with… whatever it was he was doing here.

See, Adi Rehman was perfect. He didn't trip out or lose his mind or outright reject. He just drew his line letting Cutty know how far was too far. "Yet somehow yer never fail." The Slyth laughed and resumed his seat. "Oh, loads of new things! Me dad brought me these snapping turtles made owtoff chocolate from Québec. They really snap onto yer tongue and they're meant to stay there so yer don't choke or lose em when you're on yer broom 'n stuff. I'll let yer try one fer free if yer gimme yer opinion on 'em." Adi's endorsement was helpful too should he like them. He had all those wee little puffs behind him Adi did. He'd make a good head boy.
"I'm trying owtta new thing too. I want to extend credit to soom of the older students. A sortoff buy now pay later. What do yew think, Rehman?"

Text Cut: Dante

Ah, his housemates knew him so well. "Yer opinion. Tell me how they are. If you experience any malfunctions, if the quality of chocolate used was good. I haven't priced these guys yet and I want to make certain I sell 'em fer what they're worth."

Text Cut: Puck, Rorie & Dot

She had promised to herself that she'd keep her mouth shut and was trying to do so by gritting her teeth. Yet, the thought of all the times Puck had stood up for her was nagging at the back of her brain. "Oi, why don't you back off, Dot?" She sighed, "She's just here to visit me, her friend." Ror kept her voice low, but stern enough to get the point across. If you only knew how much control this was taking and Cutty's spit take was making it even harder. Her body trembled with rising anger as she wiped off Cutty cooties off her face. "Nice."

Quote:

"Don't smile at me. I'm thinking of a hundred ways to set your pants on fire," Dot groused at Cutty. It was very difficult for her to figure out how she felt about him at the moment, since she was mad and protective and grumpy and possessive. Feelings were terrible, especially when the source of her wrath was smirking at her.

And the spit-take. How did she feel about that? HOW DID SHE FEEL? "You are impossible. Don't you sometimes look at yourself in the mirror and wonder how nature produced such an enigma? You're like a platypus with a giraffe neck." And it made her grumpy.

Her grumpiness was reprieved by the appearance of a new face. A firstie with smiles for everyone. That was endearing, it was. "Tabby, like a cat? I'm Dot, like a polka. Fourth year. You'll like our common room. We can watch the squid right out the windows."

"Thank you," Dot propped her fist on her chin and looked up at Adi with big eyes. She'd learned how to hair flip with much much practice, and it was nice to be noticed. Of course, with the girls at this school, it wasn't like there was a lack of viable hair flipping candidates to observe.

"I know that spell. That's how I talk to my Ravenclaws. I can use it, but do you promise to come when I ask? Otherwise, what's the point?" She could just send airplanes to herself.

So there were two ways to play this. Take the call out and come back in kind.... or play dumb. Dot was a snake, not a foolhardy lion, so she didn't feel like she had to man up to her feelings. But she also didn't trust that Puck would know what she'd done wrong without being led by hand all the way to the moral of the story. Gryffindors. Sigh. FEELINGS WERE AWFUL.

"She shouldn't threaten my housemate. Only Slytherins get to threaten Slytherins. It's like how siblings work. But I'm honestly sorry if I made you mad, Rorie, because you have the best hair in the house and I regret upsetting you." Circular Dot logic.

Confidence and an appreciation of geek culture often made people think a girl was masculine. So what harm was there in that?

“Dot, let me first say congratulations on your WHiM designs they were great,” she meant it. It wasn’t that she was trying to smooth the little snake’s scales no, that would just be a perk of a well, job well done? Still Dot’s questions were actually understandable.

“That’s the thing, I think if it were a girl they would have tried to exaggerate my personality and mannerisms…” she nodded, “that and I’m certain it was Cutty because of how he ate the raspberries…” she informed kindly laughed when she heard Cutty’s response.

“Oh…its my memories and I can tell there’s a big lump of coal where my heart should be” she informed and grinned over to Cutty as she too was joking with them. Still, Puck raised her brow at Rorie when she heard her telling Dot to back off.

Oh? Dot thought the threat was real? “Oh Dot don’t worry if anyone actually threatened Cutty I’d come to his defense…I was just letting him know that I knew” she informed and grinned. “Besides, he’s a friend. I’d never actually hurt him.” She informed. He was a slytherin, and she was well…”besides, if you really know me you would know that I’m more Slytherin than Gryffindor” she admitted. It was the truth. She was a snake in lions clothing.

Dot. Dot was full of compliments. And her frustration was music to his ears. Did she know? He wiggled his bum in his seat when she commented about setting his pants on fire. Dot Wojack-Gusey, does your mother know you talk to boys like that? He did not say it, though. She was a redhead.

A redhead who was madly in love with him. Cutty didn't even blame her.

It was an interesting reaction from Rorie to Dot and Dot to Puck for that matter. Slytherins may or may not be loyal. In Cutty's experience it all depended, really. So if it wasn't loyalty, what was it? Some kinda previous beef? Or perhaps a little friend-to-friend obligation? He'd seen Rorie do worse tough and so perhaps there was some level of hesitation. His disgusting ego, being what it was, figured that Rorie was only holding back to impress him. To show him how not troublesome she could be so that he'd agree to be her pseudoboyfie and Damien would come crawling back. He was touched.

"I'm very distinct in my raspberry eating. I like to savor the flavour." He confirmed before turning his head and kissing Puck's cheek. Platonically of course. At her explaining of how Cutty and Puck operated to the young Charlotte.

Text Cut: Cousin Ethan

Caleb had probably told Ethan his name. There was really only one person who ever used it and it was Fern. Ethan was nothing like Fern. So it was strange to hear the lesser used name coming from that voice. The next thing he knew his cousin had grabbed his face and was making kissy faces at him. He made kissy faces back, because that was what you do. "Well, we do coom from a long-line of pureblood wizards." Eww. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Ew.

Text Cut: Hugo

What happened to Hugo's little kid voice? Oh, right. He grew up and it went away. Damn. It was one of Cutty's favourite pastimes to walk in on tiny whispering in the green-lit common room. Ah, well. They all had to grow up sometime. "Hi, Hugo." He greeted the now...What was he? Twelve? Thirteen? Cutty soon found himself throwing away the number of years Hugo had been on the planet and made what I might call a rash decision to just treat him and the others as if they were already adults of 26 years.

"Did yer know the MOL dropped down by 6 this morning before we left London? I wonder where it'll be at by next week." Adult conversations. Aww yisss.

Text Cut: Hughbert's Entrance, tho. XD

The book hit with the usual thick and heavy sound books make when they hit solid wood surfaces and Cutty looked up to see Hughbert. "Hughbert." He said greeting the rare but carefully placed snake. He always seemed to be there at a perfect time. Like when the usual common room gatherings needed a bit of a laugh. There'd be Hughbert. And his book. "Whatchyer readin'?"

Text Cut: Penelope

Cutty caught the look given to him by the lil approaching Ravenclaw girl. She was apparently selling something. Pet rocks! It had been a while since Cutty had visited Flamsteed in his office and he saw the pet rock. Pebbles. Taking a poster he looked it over and saw their price tag. Free. Pebbles must've had babies. It was a crazy non-sensical thought which was then said out loud.

"Pebbles must've had babies." He turned the poster in his hand this way and that. "I'll take a thousand." How many rocks would there have been? "Do you offer sitting services? Or are you just the vendor?"

Text Cut: Brook

And there was little Brook. She was observant that one. So observant that it made Cutty wonder if she knew when he wore undapants and when he didn't. That thought, though did not make him feel vulnerable. No, it inspired him. Brooklyn. Eagle-eye Andrews. She would make a great house informant. If only she could be convinced to open up. Secrecy was her game but surely she wanted something. All snakes had ambition...but what if hers was to take any and all secrets to the grave.

"Have a good summer, Andrews?" He greeted her, deciding it was time to get to know her better.

SilverTiger · 05-05-2015, 09:07 AM

See, it was a kitten. Even Brooklyn could have told anyone that, not that she’d been inclined to say anything. She’d smuggled Tywin into feasts before, after all, so Ruby shouldn’t get in trouble. Hopefully not. More lectures were hardly what the third year wanted to deal with this early in term. A repeat of last opening feast was not going to be appreciated, but then, she also hardly cared what Grayson chose to name said kitten. Not that she’d been asked. She likely wouldn’t be, and that didn’t bother her. She could keep her awesome name choices for pets to herself. And she wasn’t going to be adopting any pet rocks either. It wasn’t necessary.

Her blue eyes had shifted from eyeing the Gryffindor next to her, still involved in the conversation with Rorie and Cutty about something or other to the arrival of the tiny blonde (Tabby). She’d remember that, and she gave the girl a nod. She might prove useful, but that remained to be seen. Just as whatever in the world was going on with half the people around her would get figured out eventually. Whenever she felt like spending the time.

Also known as whenever she wasn’t ignoring Adi, although those blue eyes had flickered over the Hufflepuff as she’d returned her attention to the group as a whole. That and the staff table, with the odd appearance of the tour guide guy from their trip to Loch Ness proving to be awfully intriguing. She didn’t feel like fighting more grindylows after all. At least he wasn’t trying to make any speeches. Oh, and Hady had arrived. Her fellow third year got a slight smile from her, but otherwise not a sound. It didn’t look like Hady wanted to talk anyway and there was always the dorms later.

Hmm, and both Cutty and Grayson had spoken to her. She tilted her head slightly at the shortening of her name done by Grayson, speculatively. Cutty’s use of her last name hardly bothered her after all, but the other was nearly the despised nickname. It wasn’t though, so she decided it was okay. “Aside from the field trip?,” she asked, in response to both older snakes’ question. Obviously they knew how that had went. “My sister got engaged.” Which she found about as exciting as watching paint dry. It was something, though. They could interpret it how they pleased.

Oh, and Ethan was giving her candy. It made up for the mistake during the field trip a little, and he got another smile as she accepted the packet. “Thank you.”

Text Cut: Tabs

Tabby was so tiny compared to the five-foot-ten teenager and she felt even more so like she was towering over everybody. She did hug her back and she allowed herself to smile despite not being in the best of moods. Kid was cute, she couldn’t help it. “You’d suit green. Bradley—I mean Uncle Bradley to you was a Slytherin too for the five minutes he managed to stay here for.” Still she was proud of him for what he had achieved, including the six nieces and nephews. “I’m sure you dad is proud whatever.” He seemed like that sort of man whose kids meant everything to him.

There we other children talking to Tabby and Layla stood back a minute as her housemates interacted with her. She felt a little awkward approaching the table full of Slytherin’s, like she was invading on their space. She didn’t have any friends in this house at least she didn’t think so after Vin had graduated last year. She glanced down the table, taking in the sights of her fellow seventh-years and the others before turning back to the little blonde. Over excitable little blonde.

“I ain't sure 'bout that” she replied with a teensy tiny smile. “I’m in my robes, I’d look way out of place.” Not that anyone would notice because this table was more over-the-top than her own.

noodles · 05-05-2015, 12:07 PM

Tabby didn't particularly mind if she was ignored completely. She'd chosen to sit with the older kids.. which might have been a dumb move, but they looked SO interesting that she just couldn't resist. She was watching the boys and the girl and the little tiny cat—N'AWWW.. LOOK. AT. IT! It made the little blonde wish she'd brought Waffle to the feast. She might've been able to use him to get some attention focused on her. Cute girl + cute kitten = double the cute, seeee?

But she would be quite content just sitting here listening to the conversations going on around her. Perhaps she would learn a few names in the process.

She beamed at the girl who acknowledged her and nodded enthusiastically. “Just like a cat, yes. It's short for Tabitha. I think it sounds like an old lady name, but a pretty one.” Dot? Like a polka? “I LIKE that name.” She enthused. “It's not a name I'll EVER forget!” Because of the polka. She listened to the older girl, her face lighting up further. “Wow! Does he come to say hello to us?” That was the COOLEST. “Do you ever see the mermaids?”

More smiles were sent around, particular to the other girl who was taking the time to introduce herself. “THANK YOU.” She said gleefully. “Zhenya.” She repeated? “With a Zee?” She drew a 'Z' shape in the air with her finger.

A nod? Tabby could take that happily and she nodded back and giggled a bit. This one seemed cool as a cucumber wearing a miniature pair of shades indoors.

Layla was so tall and pretty and sophisticated and Tabby felt an affiliation toward her for no other reason than they were both blonde. “I thought I'd suit the red better. Red's one of my favourite colours.” But she was very happy to be here among the sea of green. Tabitha had had no expectations whatsoever as to where she would be sorted, but the words 'Gryffindor' and 'Slytherin' had been loosely thrown around at home.. as well as by the talking hat. “Did Uncle Bradley not graduate?” Tabitha's mouth formed a 'O' shape. Oooh. Why not? Tell me Layla while I hang on to your every word.. She nodded in agreement. Freddie's only wishes for his kids was that they would grow up to be rounded individuals and that they would be happy.

She wasn't going to sit? Oh. Tabitha pouted just a little bit. “Blue blends well with green. And look!” She pointed. “There's students in yellow sitting here.” Please join us, pretty, tall, sophisticated Layla.

SPOILER!!: Noah

Daisy might have lost Noah on the train after he threw a cauldron cake at her, but she had found him again as they entered the school and now she was following him into the Great Hall, bits of cauldron cake that he had thrown at her were falling off her sweater as she walked. (Seriously? What did they make those things out of?)

She passed a bowl of pudding and wished she could pick it up and dump it over Noah’s head, but that would make her no better than he. “What,” she settled for yelling instead of a food fight. “Is your deal?” she asked from behind Noah loudly after he had sat down. Seriously! After she’d been all nice to his crabby butt in the ice cream parlor and everything. A large piece of cauldron cake took that moment to fall off her sweater and onto the floor with a splop. Apparently the cake only came off with it wanted to, and poor Daisy had spent a good portion of the train ride trying to get the cake off her sweater, just like last year she spent the train ride trying to unstick her hair from the cake and the train wall. Her sweater had faired as well as her hair which still hadn’t fully grown back.

RedRabbit · 05-05-2015, 02:39 PM

*Most people would jump or turn around when they heard yelling but Noah was too lost in his thoughts to give Daisy a reaction. Slowly turning around he looked at her with a stone cold face.*
"My deal? You busted my leg last term, it's called getting even."
*Seeing that there was still cake on Daisy jumper he was tempted to pull his wand out to clean it, but didn't. Cleaning was for elves.*
"You seem to have this impression that deep down I'm a nice person or something so I'm going to save you some time. I'm not nice, I don't care, so go on with your happy life flower child."
*Normally he wouldn't be so mean but after the summer he had he was in no mood for social protocol, like being nice and respectful.*
"Why do you keep hanging around me anyway?"
*Did she have a crush on him or something? Did she like the cold hearted bad boys? Because that was what she would get with him.*

Krel Ansell · 05-05-2015, 03:00 PM

SPOILER!!: Noah

Daisy’s hands clenched into fists and if she had been a cartoon her head would have turned into a giant teapot. As it was, anyone looking at her would have been surprised steam wasn’t coming out of her ears considering how red her face had gotten. “We,” she said through clenched teeth. She was trying very hard to keep from jumping on Noah and beating him to a pulp. “Have very different memories about your broken leg last year. You must have hit your head harder than I thought when you fell out of that tree. You brain-damaged nit-wit! You – fell - out- of the –tree! I didn’t push you, and Circe knows I could have just left you by the lake!”

Despite his prickly inside, Daisy knew that Noah was nice. She had seen it while he had been lying in the hospital ward post-dino underwear freak out. It was the only redeeming quality about the boy who always felt the need to be a rude and nasty jerk-faced-weasel. Maybe he needed to be in pain in order to be a decent human being. Daisy was certainly happy to beat him up routinely if that’s what it took for him to be civil.

“You are so clueless, you nimrod!” Now he was hurting her feelings. Didn’t he get it? She didn’t have many friends and somehow, despite all their bickering, she had thought they’d become friends, but maybe they hadn’t. “And stop calling me a flower child. I’m not a hippie!”

For once, Oleander was tired, yet kept paying attention to his surroundings, just in case something extraordinary happened.

Food is more than welcomed, by the way.

Agatha looked like she had just sniffed a pile of dragon dung. Wrinkled nose and a deep frown on her face, the now sixth year walked over to the Slytherin table and, per usual, saw people from all of the other houses there.

Disgusting.

She didn't want to sit with any of them and she also didn't want to speak to any of the ~~traitors~~ silly people from her own house who couldn't be bothered to kick those intruders out of their house table.

The ballerina had high standards. So she went to take a seat near one of the very few normal people she knew. Oleander was alright and wasn't engaged in conversation with any stupid people. That was probably because he wasn't talking to anyone. Smart guy.

Agatha took a seat next to him and flipped her hair solemnly.

FearlessLeader19 · 05-05-2015, 04:11 PM

Adi could see the pride on Caleb's face. Who could blame him? Eleven OWLs was something to be VERY proud of. "That great! Erm, if you don't mind me asking but which one did you fail?'' Caleb had written all twelve OWLs, right? "I didn't do so bad. Got all twelve though I had expected to see one T on my result list.'' It had been a relief to pass them all.

"It's good to know my efforts are being appreciated,'' Adi replied with a smirk. Cutty Mordaunt was quite the fella, a reason why he was one of the coolest persons Adi knew. But back to sweet talks! Chocolate from Quebec! Nom Nom! Adi could go for those even if the snapping on the tongue sounded painful. LOL. "It's so touching that my opinion matters to you, Cutty.'' He feigned a sniffle and wiping away a tear from his eye. Anywayyy... "That sounds like a fair deal. I think it's a great idea just don't go giving too much credit, okay? You might end up having a difficult time getting your money.'' Adi knew all about the credit stuff. His dad did work in a bank after all.

The sixth year laughed. "No you're not. Your face has some worthy advice.'' Though he suspected Ruby would not care about the advice coming from Grayson's face. Ohh! A fist bump! These were as good as squishugs and hair ruffles. He folded his fingers of his left hand inwards to enthusiastically return the bump. "Planning anything cool for your final year?" Something awesome to go out with a bang, perhaps?

"You're welcome, Dot.'' Adi flopped back down on the bench. was food going to be here soon? The Head Minion was hungrrry. "Really?'' There was an interested look from Adi... and plus he was totally thrilled that she would go along with his idea. "Of course I promise! Who would disobey a direct order from the Queen?" As long as it did not involve him having to go into the Snake common room... not only because other students were not allowed there but he also did not think the Bloody Baron would take very kindly to that if the ghost was around at any of those particular moments.

"Cilla!'' Adi called out to his friend the second he saw her. "How are you?" Why was she looking so out of it? She was okay, riiiight? Concerned friend here. Also, there went Brooklyn ignoring him again though he did notice her look in his direction. But Agatha had arrived! "Hi, Ballerina wife!'' he mouthed as she sat down next to another guy.

Expecto-Penguin · 05-05-2015, 07:40 PM

Kace nodded towards Cutty and he realized that he had been talking to Echo. He wondered if he knew her. I mean he must have because Echo was in the same house as him. He grinned when he said he knew Braedon. He snorted when he mentioned he was a wise man. "A wiseee man?" he asked again to clarify raising a skeptical eyebrow. That was something new. He never heard that before. "I don't think he is very wise might I add." he shrugged. "Also be on the look out for a new student coming here next year. He is my cousin coming possibly to the Slytherins."

Now his attention on Grayson. He laughed at his choice of words and that is how he would describe his summer too. "Well that sounds like a lot of fun. Where was my invite to the pool party?" he only joked of course. I mean he wouldn't miss out on a pool party and maybe he could have brought Emmy. "Yeahh not really. Just went to the Quidditch camp over the summer and that is about it. No traveling for me." Yeah traveling might happen this term. We shall see. "Who are you kidding?" he commented when he said it was freaky being a seventh year. "I mean I just remember meeting you and now we are graduating together brother." he motioned between them. "I thought you were a sixth year bro?" he asked just stating his thought. "It does feel nice man being on top of the school not gonna lie.." he laughed.

He heard Caleb's comment and he turned his head and grinned. "Yeah I mean muggle food isn't bad if the person prepares it correctly you know? I mean my grandma can make a mean meatloaf and turkey. They are great on sandwiches." he winked. Hopefully he knew what he was talking about. Aaahh last term yes. He remember quite vividly. "Yeah I know what you mean. That was a rough term and you lost someone from your house so it must be rough.." he frowned. I mean Gregorie was a great slytherin. He missed the little dude. "So you excited for the new term. I hear we have a new professor.." he said mentioning the new detail to the Slytherin prefect.

Henric was a little baffled by her,she really was serious about adopting a pet rock. It must have meant something to her if she was to disobey her mother.

Henric was curious, she was thinking that 'Princess" would need a new friend to play with. Maybe she was right, their toad might get a little lonely sometimes by herself but he wouldn't allow any male toad to come near her little princess.Being protective as he was, he thought Princess was still too young for any "personal relationship" going on.

"Alright then, tell me what you find there, and if its anything male and living...just leave it alone,"he told her, with a slight authorative tone.

" That sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe she can meet some of her own kind that way. If you want we could organize something." She smiled happily at him, currently very glad that she got a toad with him. She wasn't sure if princess would like the racing part, but she could just meet other toads too. Whatever might make her happy.

"Then we named her properly." She replied with a grin. Ilia didn't feel like she was much the princess type, but their toad could be if she wanted to. She could be whatever kind of toad she wanted to and Ilia would love her all the same.

She couldn't help but giggle a little at what he said. She wondered if that was for princesses sake, hers , or both? It felt nice to have someone protective around that she trusted, she used to only have her cousin Freyr. Rising from the table she gave him a hug and a swift kiss on the cheek. "Cross my heart and hope to die. I promise I won't bring any boys of any living species back." She gave him a wink and a polite bow before walking towards the entrance. She didn't tend to ever be that warm and friendly to others, especially boys, but Henric was her toad baby daddy. He was completely different from all of the other boys.

Hugh might as well have been wearing a does-not-belong sign on his head and he did not mind that at all. Whatever kept the people at bay so that he could do his work in relative peace.

Cutty did not see the sign obviously.

Hugh flipped a page and tilted his head at a particularly graphic diagram, "Freud. He was a pioneer for the study of psychoanalysis and had a theory that..." The Slytherin trailed off and very earnestly (because he did not understand the concept of being malicious) added, "Nevermind, yo. Not something you would understand." Hardly Cutty's fault he was simple.

There were too many people at the Slytherin table and not exactly people from his house, he didn't mind but he was hungry and crowds bothered him.

Hugo shook his head, "Nah. I couldn't even talk to her during the summer field trip" it was hard, really. "But I gotta talk to her this term because I think she is graduating" she needed to know who was the boy with the Wolverine mask at the masquerade party. "You are going to help me, don't know how yet, but I'll let you know" maybe Dante could help him to distract anyone who could be around Marigold. Something like that.

Oh well.

He greeted Cutty, "What's up?" and the next thing he asked him was a little bit weird. Hugo was puzzled, "Err yeah...very...interesting" he had no clue of what was Cutty talking about. So, first of all, "What is MOL?" Please, enlighten him with your knowledge. Hugo needed it.

Then, he spotted a new Slytherin. "Hey" and waved at the girl (Tabitha). He hated to be a firstie because everyone else already knew each other and he didn't.

“Dot, let me first say congratulations on your WHiM designs they were great,” she meant it. It wasn’t that she was trying to smooth the little snake’s scales no, that would just be a perk of a well, job well done? Still Dot’s questions were actually understandable.

“That’s the thing, I think if it were a girl they would have tried to exaggerate my personality and mannerisms…” she nodded, “that and I’m certain it was Cutty because of how he ate the raspberries…” she informed kindly laughed when she heard Cutty’s response.

Oh? Dot thought the threat was real? “Oh Dot don’t worry if anyone actually threatened Cutty I’d come to his defense…I was just letting him know that I knew” she informed and grinned. “Besides, he’s a friend. I’d never actually hurt him.” She informed. He was a slytherin, and she was well…”besides, if you really know me you would know that I’m more Slytherin than Gryffindor” she admitted. It was the truth. She was a snake in lions clothing.

No one was reacting correctly, and it really really bugged Dot. Not that she wanted Puck (and Rorie) to be mad at her, but she didn't want her well-crafted ire to be laughed at. Why did people always laugh at her when she wanted to be taken seriously? It was ugh-inducing.

She sulked a little, although mention of her second place win (to Puck... ugh again?) did brighten her back up a bit. "You're not making much sense. You must take confusion classes from Cutty. But thank you, and also... you too. Your designs were really pretty."

As for her threatening Cutty, and it somehow being okay because they were friends... that wasn't anything like friendship in Dot's world. "You could dress in snakeskin head to toe, but you're a Gryffindor all the way to your cream-filled center. 'sides, you probably shouldn't threaten your friends." Because knowing Cutty and Rainbow Rorie, too many threats and they'd stop playing so nicely.

"Anyways, have a good summer, Dot? Since you stayed out of trouble and all," he added with a polite smile. This summer had been AWESOME for him, so he assumed everyone ELSE had a great summer too.

Once he'd made sure that Rorie and Dot weren't going to kill each other, he turned his attention to Puck, his co-prefect who had decided to join them. AHA! SO IT WAS CUTTY!

The prefect was talking to her, and based on how closely he'd watched her chat up Rorie and Puck, she'd PROBABLY have to be on good behavior. Dot turned her attention back to the older boy, eyeing him dubiously for all those big disarming grins he was bestowing. Suspicious.

"Sir is a sign of respect, not of age. I don't sir even every grandpa, but I sir you. So." So deal with it. "I had a good summer. I took dance classes with my Kyroh friend and my baby brother is learning to walk and I went swimming so much my hair turned GREEN for a bit and I got 18 new freckles. What did you do?" It probably wasn't as good at hers, but hopefully it was interesting.

"Understood and like Puck says, it wasn't sincere. It was...a joke, I suppose." Look, Cutty, look! She was being mature. The redhead had a point though. Ror did have the best hair in the house. Haaaairrr fliiiiipp. Peace handshakes all around.

"Oh, a joke?" Dot cast a skeptical eye at Puck before looking at Rorie again. And her glorious hair. So much jealousy was burning in her soul right now. "It's okay... I'm not very funny either. Funny works better for people who are really clever, you know? Ravenclaws... they're really funny." Dot was just silly, which wasn't the same thing.

"Can you show me how to get my hair to be that color?"

A redhead who was madly in love with him. Cutty didn't even blame her.

It was an interesting reaction from Rorie to Dot and Dot to Puck for that matter. Slytherins may or may not be loyal. In Cutty's experience it all depended, really. So if it wasn't loyalty, what was it? Some kinda previous beef? Or perhaps a little friend-to-friend obligation? He'd seen Rorie do worse tough and so perhaps there was some level of hesitation. His disgusting ego, being what it was, figured that Rorie was only holding back to impress him. To show him how not troublesome she could be so that he'd agree to be her pseudoboyfie and Damien would come crawling back. He was touched.

"I'm very distinct in my raspberry eating. I like to savor the flavour." He confirmed before turning his head and kissing Puck's cheek. Platonically of course. At her explaining of how Cutty and Puck operated to the young Charlotte.

And there was Cutty heard from. Or not heard from, since he totally ignored her own threats, her frustration, all her blasted FEELINGS about whether or not to hex off his face, and comment on raspberries. AS IF ANYONE CARED ABOUT HIS LOVE OF RASPBERRIES.

She sighed loudly. Dramatically. With greatest theatricality, and a hair toss for good measure. "You're stupid and infuriating and you don't even care. There's something broken between your mouth and your eyes, Cutty, and it makes my brain hurt. And I'm not speaking to you again until I have my revenge for what you did to Kyroh." Pause pause pause. "But then we can be friendly-like again."

BUT ONLY AFTER REVENGE.

Does he come to say hello to us?” That was the COOLEST. “Do you ever see the mermaids?”

The new girl. Dot would focus on her. Tabby cat, the new girl. Blue eyes rolled playfully, although perhaps she should warn Tabby cat that Slytherin boys were the worst. The. Worst. "My real name is Charlotte, but no one calls me that. My dad called me after his mum, so she was Charlotte and I was Dot since I was born." Or maybe a few days after, since she wasn't clear on when she was abandoned and became a Wojack.

"Oh, the squid? Yeah, he visits. And mermaids too, although they're not beautiful like you'd expect. There's a shark too, I think, only he disguises himself as a water plant. And then there are real water plants." It was basically a great place to sit and watch stuff, since they didn't have proper windows.

As long as it did not involve him having to go into the Snake common room... not only because other students were not allowed there but he also did not think the Bloody Baron would take very kindly to that if the ghost was around at any of those particular moments.

"I'm not really a queen, silly. But you're older and smarter and nicer than me, so maybe you'll help me if I send you a paper airplane anyway," Dot didn't really want to be obeyed. She wanted to be... revered. Not feared, but adored. There was an important difference, y'know?

"Are you glad to be back at school? Or did you have such a very good summer that you miss it?"

Cilla looked in Adi's direction and smiled wearily. "I am doing okay. I moved house over the holidays. I guess all that activity has caught up with me. I am just glad that I didn't have to spend heaps of time shopping for supplies. I hope your holidays were nice."

Did his friend,llia, just did what he thought she did? He was fine with the hugging but he didnt expect the kiss on the cheek too.llia had already left the great hall in search for the pet rocks while Henric just stood there, blinking, dazed at what just happened. It was the first time he had been kissed on the cheek by the opposite gender other than his mother,of course. He didn't have any female cousins, sisters or friends too who did such a thing.llia was the first girl who brazenly, he might add, had act upon it.It felt odd yet strangely pleasant at the same time...

Oh merlin! What was he thinking?! No no...it was a fleeting friendly kind of moment, Henric thought nothing more of it after that.llia was just happy and that was why she did it.Right...that was all. Although Henric might seem to be indifferent towards the gesture, there was always the nudging thought that something ominous was about to fall upon him if ever someone from his house saw that happened.

She was trying very hard to keep from jumping on Noah and beating him to a pulp. “Have very different memories about your broken leg last year. You must have hit your head harder than I thought when you fell out of that tree. You brain-damaged nit-wit! You – fell - out- of the –tree! I didn’t push you, and Circe knows I could have just left you by the lake!”

Despite his prickly inside, Daisy knew that Noah was nice. She had seen it while he had been lying in the hospital ward post-dino underwear freak out. It was the only redeeming quality about the boy who always felt the need to be a rude and nasty jerk-faced-weasel. Maybe he needed to be in pain in order to be a decent human being. Daisy was certainly happy to beat him up routinely if that’s what it took for him to be civil.

“You are so clueless, you nimrod!” Now he was hurting her feelings. Didn’t he get it? She didn’t have many friends and somehow, despite all their bickering, she had thought they’d become friends, but maybe they hadn’t. “And stop calling me a flower child. I’m not a hippie!”

*Noah let out a long annoyed sigh like he was about to explain something to a child, again. Facing Daisy he crossed his arms and said,*
"And how did I come to fall out of the tree hmmm? By someone, spoiler it was you, yelling at me making me lose my footing in the tree."
*So yes, she was seeing the event of his broken leg differently than him. She was choosing to not remember everything that she had done.*

"A hippie? When was a calling you that? Your name is daisy, like the flower, making you flower child. There was no need to bring peace loving muggles into the mix."
*He couldn't help but smirk at her reaction. It meant that he was getting on her nerves.*

Krel Ansell · 05-06-2015, 08:19 PM

SPOILER!!: Noah

Daisy choose to ignore his comments about the tree. She was past that and was now focused on her name. “Did you fail muggle studies last year or something? You’re calling me a hippie every time you call me that. It’s rude and it’s mean and it hurts my feelings. I have a name. Use it. ”

Why did she even bother with him? He was rude and mean and a giant turd. His smirk was just making things worse. She wanted to grab him around the neck and throttle him until he turned blue. “You know why you were up in that tee?” she threw at him instead hoping her words would hurt him, but she doubted they would. Noah seemed to lack the basic thing that defined him as human; feelings and empathy. Gone were her memories of him being nice while he was in pain last year by the lake and all she remembered were the barbs and the cauldron cakes, the snarkiness and the name calling from the past year and a half. “You were hiding. Just like you were hiding in the ice cream parlor.” She still didn’t know the whole reason he was upset and that was his own fault. She didn’t know him well at all, and it wasn’t for lack of trying or caring. “If you want to be alone, then fine. Be alone! If you keep being rude and mean and downright nasty to people, you’ll be alone for the rest of your life. Just keep running and eventually nobody will care about you.”

Someone at her own table was calling her. She looked over and waved, leaving Noah without saying goodbye.
