| | Term 43: May - August 2016 Term Forty-Three: She's Back, and She's Hungry... (Sept 2089 - June 2090) | 
04-13-2016, 09:48 PM
| | |  Boys Dormitories
Down the long corridor to the left are the boys' dorm rooms. Torches light the way allowing you to see the many portraits of Slytherin alumni lining the walls. You'll want to be careful what you say or do here as these portraits aren't here just for the decor. There is a dorm room for each year of the house. Students, you will find many four poster beds, all draped with green curtains. Be sure to stake your claim on the bed you want before someone else gets to it first.
Be aware, this Dorm is for Slytherin BOYS ONLY. Each room has a charm placed on it that will alert on any presence of girls. Consider this your final warning. Any girls caught trying to get in here WILL face the wrath of Mister McLeod.

With his backpack fit to bursting - and probably just about to, seeing as he'd had it since first year and it was being held together by an abundance of repairing charms - the fifth year returned to his dormitory to empty the many needed books he'd just checked out of the library before heading up to dinner. Although, Dalton couldn't help but contemplate, he wasn't even really that hungry.
Emptying his bag, he inspected the ripping seams with a sigh, before flopping back onto his bead and groaning. It didn't look like there was much that could be done for it other than buying a new one, especially not with the size of the textbooks he'd be carrying around near enough every day this year. Maybe if he wrote to Travis, he might be able to scrounge a...
Well, a newer one, at least.

Well, a newer one, at least. After spending as much time as he could with Kali before she had to go to hang out with her band mates, Oliver dragged himself down to the dungeons. He had homework he had to work on and wasn't very hungry for dinner, but being in bed sounded sooooo so nice. Walking into the dormitories, he made a mental note to talk to Kali about getting motivated to do schoolwork...somehow. If she could motivate him to do other things, surely she could help with that.
Before flopping onto his bed, he looked around the dorm to see who was around and noticed Dalton was the only one around. Ollie glanced at his bed then back at Dalton and decided he could push back being antisocial for a little while longer. "Hey man," he said as he walked over to his dormmate. Once he was close enough he noticed a backpack that looked like it had been...through a lot. "Uh...what happened to your bag?" He had always gotten a new backpack every year or so and so he had never actually seen one that had been so...used.

Dalton didn't look up at the door when it opened, his gaze focused on the pen and paper in his hand. He only raised his eyes when he heard the voice address him, knowing that he had to be social with his dorm mates at some point. "Ollie." Nodding slightly, he found himself glad that it was Oliver, being one of the rather less annoying people in the castle.
His gaze moved from the boys face to the bag at the end of the bed, before sitting up and pulling it towards him. "I.. Uh, too many books." With a slight nod, he clicked his pen a few times before shoving it into his basically destroyed back pack, along with the letter he'd begun. "I.. I should get a new one, really."

He hadn't realized the fellow Slytherin was doing something...but then Oliver figured if he was putting it away maybe he didn't mind being bothered too much. What's the point in being a wizard if you're not gonna fix broken things with magic right?" The fifth year kind of always forgot to use magic for his own things, but for whatever reason, his mind when straight to the mending charm.
Pulling his wand out of his pocket, Ollie pointed it at the backpack and said, "Reparo." He then watches the seams magically sow themselves back together before speaking again. "I guess...I should've let you do it? But...at least it's fixed now?" Plus, it wasn't like the charm reinforced the backpack so it would probably break again before the end of term.

Dalton shrugged a little as he watched Ollie repair his bag, before tugging it back over to him and inspecting the newly-fixed seams. He then proceeded to wave away the other boys apologies. "Don't be daft, I've been repairing it for five years. And you did a better job than me, anyway.
It wasn't something he was bitter about, because in all honesty Dalton didn't care if he was ever good at magic. He just wanted to pass his exams and get out of here and get a job, and that required some qualifications. He still didn't understand why he couldn't have just gone to a Muggle school, but now was not the time nor the place to dwell on that.
"I'm gonna write home for a new one, anyway."

Oliver knew he was actually pretty good at some spells and charms, but hearing it still felt nice. Even if it wasn't exactly 'you're good magic.' "Why'd you wait so long to ask for a new one in the first place?" Ollie really was just curious. And he wasn't quite sure getting a new backpack would keep it from breaking again. Not unless it was heavy duty.
He glanced over at his own bed and the trunk sitting in front of it. "Or I might have an extra one, if you want?" Ollie couldn't remember if he'd taken his old one out but it was worth it to check right?

He glanced over at his own bed and the trunk sitting in front of it. "Or I might have an extra one, if you want?" Ollie couldn't remember if he'd taken his old one out but it was worth it to check right? It was such an odd sentiment. Dalton himself never really went out of his way to help people. And that wasn't just because he usually couldn't help, although that was definitely a part of it. He nodded. "Yeah, thanks again." Because it was surprisingly kind of Ollie, but that wasn't something many people would think.
"Erm." Dalton offered a shrug by way of answer, averting his eyes from the other Slytherin boy. "Just... Just haven't had time. Don't see the point." He carried on studying the bag as a way to avoid looking at Ollie. It was ridiculously battered, but laziness was an easier explanation that being too poor and disliked to ask. As for the other boys offer... Well, the tips of Dalton's ears turned pink as he was forced to look back up. "Don't... Honestly, don't worry about it."

As for the other boys offer... Well, the tips of Dalton's ears turned pink as he was forced to look back up. "Don't... Honestly, don't worry about it." "You're welcome." Ollie didn't really think it was too big of a deal. After all, it was just using a charm, not like he was sewing the backpack back together. Not that Ollie wouldn't have offered to do that if he could, but he knew absolutely nothing about sewing. He was just glad he could help Dalton out...even if Dalton could have done the charm on his own.
When Dalton got kind of weird when answering his question though, Oliver immediately felt bad. He hadn't meant to make the fellow Slytherin uncomfortable, he just wasn't really thinking when he asked the question. "Oh yeah, I totally get that," he said, trying to play it cool. He of course wouldn't have minded what the real reason was, but he figured accepting that answer as the real one would probably help Dalton feel less uncomfortable. And now Ollie would be dropping it and pretending like he never asked. No need to ruin the smaaaaall acquaintanceship he had with one of the only boys he knew at school. Well, there was Brian, but with all that had happened with him this summer, Ollie knew not to expect to have him around forever, or much longer even, sadly.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ollie went off to his trunk to search. "I really don't mind. It's not like I'm using it anyway." He got down on his knees and started throwing things out of his trunk onto the floor around him. "I can't promise it'll be any better than yours, but worth a try right?" There was no stopping him now. Ollie would find another backpack in there one way or another.

Not his usual odd smile-grimace, a full blown embarrassed glower at his own behaviour. He was trying to be more sociable and normal - with the help from Kelly and Tim - but he still felt the need to behave like a complete awkward idiot. And make a show of himself. What Ollie had done was fairly normal, especially if Dalton considered him a friend, which he wanted to do, but he had to over react and act like the other boy had saved his life.
Even though he basically had. Especially with the whole acting like Dalton wasn't behaving awkward or avoiding any topic of conversation. "Are you sure?" He managed, sitting up further as he watched Ollie rifle through his trunk.

He managed, sitting up further as he watched Ollie rifle through his trunk. Oliver couldn't figure out why in the world he had so much stuff in his trunk but he was starting to get frustrated. Granted, he was the only one at fault here because he never actually took the time to clean it out and his mother was definitely not going to do it FOR him, so there was that.
The fifth year kept on searching, nearly half his body already in the trunk. He glanced back at Dalton to make sure he wasn't getting impatient, although he'd just been sitting there when Ollie arrived anyway, but he wanted to be sure. The boy seemed to be going through something in his head and Oliver wasn't about to interrupt, so he went back to searching. Just then he felt a strap to something and PULLED IT OUT (!!) only to see that it was a child's Superman backpack. His eyes went wide and he immediately threw it in the opposite direction of Dalton. No need for anyone to see he still carried that around with him. Nope.
Oh and then Dalton said something...but Ollie hadn't really heard what because he was too busy arguing with himself about finding the spare backpack already. With his head still inside the trunk he said, "I'm not sure wha- GOT IT!!" Sure enough, he pulled out a simple,hardly-even-used, black backpack. "I knew it was in there somewhere." He stood and stepped around and over the piles of things he'd taken out of the trunk and over to Dalton. "All yours." He was definitely proud of himself.

Either Oliver had a million more things than Dalton did - which was totally possible, because Dalton had about fifteen things to his name - or he didn't have the bag that he was looking for any more. Which was completely fine, he really didn't need it but he didn't want to put Ollie out, or have him feel awkward or -
Dalton had averted his gaze from the other boy, but looked back up when he hear him speak. With a small smile, he took the bag from him and turned it over in his hand. It looked like it had barely even been used: a complete contrast to his own, which lay forlorn and slightly forgotten at the foot of his bed. "Are you sure? I - uh, thank you so much."

It was a wonder the niffler!herd had made it down to the dungeons, but there were suuuuuure to shinies down here, surely? Studentsies always had shiny things...and so many of them, too.
They thundered into the Slytherin dorm, heading into whichever room they could get into, the boys' dorms it seemed, and began to sniff around a few of the rooms with much determination to find SHINIES.
Turned over trunks, digging holes in beds, and one niffler even peed in the corner of the room! Did someone have a feather pillow? Because feathers were now everywhere. A niffler had its nose in one of the boy's drawers, digging in its contents for shinies.
OOC: There's a small herd of them making chaos around here. Feel free to interact with them whatever age your Slytherin is, whichever dorm he is in. Also, feel free to say the nifflers have ruined something of your child's if you want!

Okay. So. Cornelius was returning from one of the best days EVER at Hogwarts. Like. He was SURE he was glowing. Or at least his lips were. He was on cloud nine, not even bothered at the thought of Rosie back-handing him for what just happened.
NOTHING could bother the Slytherin boy. NOTHING.
Not even the fluffies littered in the corridor. That was odd. Wasn't that fluff from pillows? And why was it coming from the dorms? Did the boys suddenly have a pillow fight? Ninnies. As long as it wasn't from HIS...
Wait it a minute that WAS HIS DORM IT WAS COMING FROM TOO.
The Slytherin sped into his room, skidding to a stop and almost slipping backwards from stepping on something.
O___________________________________O
Blink. Blink. BLINK BLINK BLINK.
Nifflers????
"What in..." Was this a prank? Was it? Because--"Hey...HEY! Don't you--!!" IT PEED. IN HIS ROOM. THERE WAS NIFFLER PEE IN HIS ROOM. "That's just disgusting, EW!!" Were those his underwear? "Hey don't--" He broke off. If a niffler ate his underwear did that mean he didn't need to wear any? He would let that one slide. As for the other...
"HUGO, DANTE! Creatures are eating our underwear!!" His heroes to the call!

It had been a very long day, and Jaemin was keen on just... getting to his dorm and sleeping. He was in no kind of rush though, because rushing meant energy, and he was too tired for high-energy rushing about. Until, of course, he heard Corny's screams from the dorm they shared. Then... well, then he definitely had energy, because something was in their dorm. Why did this seem to be a constant occurrence?!
The small boy rushed down the corridor, blinking at the bits of fluff that seemed to be flying from the doorway. What... what... he felt for his wand out of habit, because Corny hadn't said what creatures were in there, and peered around the doorway...
NIFFLERS?!
WHY WERE THERE ALWAYS NIFFLERS?!
The memory of last term flooded forward, fresh and just as painful, and Jaemin squeezed his wand tightly. They'd all gotten away last term... on his birthday... it had been the saddest day of his entire life. He was so not ready for a repeat. He was determined that there would NOT be a repeat. There were enough nifflers in their room that he could catch at least ONE and keep it.
Rushing into the dorm, right past Corny, Jaemin slammed the drawer full of a single underwear-chewing niffler shut. This was his now. His niffler. The small boy looked at Corny, then at the large, empty hedgehog cage near his own bed.
"Corny. Grab that for me!" he yelled, pointing at it with his wand. Good thing the hedgehog was nestled safely in his bag in the common room. He probably wouldn't be very happy about having a new bunkmate, but the niffler currently trapped in the drawer was going in that cage, no matter what. He'd figure out petspace later. The rest of the dorm carnage went unnoticed, because he. was. getting. his. niffler. this. time. | |

There was suddenly something/one rushing past him. Already on high alert the boy flung his limbs, jabbing at the air. "KARATE!!!!" OH WAIT. Jaemin--
What was he doing?!?!
Trapping a niffler, apparently. His heart raced. "ALMOST got you in the face, Jaemin!" He rushed towards the cage, anyhow. This was URGENT. Cornelius could feel it.
Grabbing the cage he ran to Jaemin. "How are we doing this?" There were about a million and one things that could go wrong. Like getting bitten and getting rabies or some other disease. Crud. He hadn't thought about that.
Cornelius looked at Jaemin seriously. "You owe me after this." He was basically risking his life here.

The niffler currently chewing on underwear paid no mind to the new human who had appeared. He began to dig in the drawer sniffing around for shinies while he chewed on the underwear.
Another niffler dug into the contents of someone's trunk, pulling out a metal chain of some sort. The nifflers were finding their shinies, yes, and quickly gathering together to begin their search for MOREEEEEE SHINIIIIIIIES when with a CLANK one of their brethren had been trapped in the drawer.
It scared a few of the nifflers enough to run right out of the dorms, but still others remained, tearing apart beds, trunks, dressers. The one trapped merely scratched at the wood. It whined.
It whined more.
It peed.

Dalton had averted his gaze from the other boy, but looked back up when he hear him speak. With a small smile, he took the bag from him and turned it over in his hand. It looked like it had barely even been used: a complete contrast to his own, which lay forlorn and slightly forgotten at the foot of his bed. "Are you sure? I - uh, thank you so much." "Absolutely positive." Ollie nodded while he spoke, hoping the extra agreeing would help Dalton feel okay with taking it.

Though really, Oliver kind of tried not to take all of his books around with him all day so he was sure his current backpack would be just fine.

Since he was required to paint for class, Olly decided to put it to good use. He would decorate his dormitory. It would be pretty and he was sure his dorm mates would appreciate it. They better. And it was too bad if they didn't because he was doing it anyway. The only question now was what to paint. This actually mattered because it would be in his dorm and he would have to look at it every day so it had better be good.
"Figura snake," he said. He used his wand to trace the shape right off to the side of the door. It was fitting, right? Because Slytherin and all. "Colorvaria," he said. And he was focusing on green because still Slytherin. And it worked nicely and he liked it. What a nice painting to have by their door. He hoped the others would think it was nice too.
He turned and studied the rest of the room. Should he paint anything else? He went over to the wall next to his bed and pointed his wand. "Colorvaria." He was thinking about the bluest blue of the lake and thought the color the wall turned matched nicely. "Figura Fish." He traced fish after fish until the lake wall was filled with them. And one last spell so the artwork would be complete. "Animatae." The fish started to swim around on the wall. Perfect! He smiled to himself and headed back to the classroom.

Turned over trunks, digging holes in beds, and one niffler even peed in the corner of the room! Did someone have a feather pillow? Because feathers were now everywhere. A niffler had its nose in one of the boy's drawers, digging in its contents for shinies.
OOC: There's a small herd of them making chaos around here. Feel free to interact with them whatever age your Slytherin is, whichever dorm he is in. Also, feel free to say the nifflers have ruined something of your child's if you want! Quote:

Keep, not borrow. Dalton gulped slightly before looking back up from the back in his hands and grinning broadly, grinning properly at Ollie. He didn't know what he'd ever done to deserve the other boy's kindness, but it was happening and so Dalton just made a mental note to pay the boy back, some way, some how.
Beginning to transfer his his things from the broke bag to Ollie's, the fifth year stopped as movement near the door caught his peripheral vision. "Ollie, mate -" 'cause they were totally mates now, it was decided. "- what the -" POINTING pointing at the door. And the creatures that were now running around the other beds.

The cage probably wasn't going to be the most comfortable for the niffler, because... well it was bigger than Sniffler was. He didn't even keep Sniffler in there regularly. That one was for when he wanted to take the hedgehog outside so he could get some fresh air while the second year did homework or collected plant stuffs. But the regular hedgehog hutch that was tucked in the space between his and Elliot's beds was much, much too big to be moved...
So the niffler would have to go into the smaller cage to be taken to the larger one, if it got wiggly.
"Just hold the door open in case it tries to get away..." The twelve year old brushed off Corny's talk of owing him, because... this was very important and he had to focus. Jaemin eased the drawer open just a bit and peeked inside, eyes immediately going to the niffler. "Hi... I'm gonna pick you up, so don't bite me or anything, okay?"
The others were still making noise... but he'd already caught his, and it wasn't like they could chase off all the others by themselves. Last year they had just... left on their own. So Jaemin ignored them as best he could and slipped one hand into the drawer, very slowly reaching for the fluffy little creature. He wouldn't grab it... not yet, not right away. Only if he had to. Just... pettings and stuff, so it wouldn't run. BE FRIENDS WITH US PLEASE. | |

Cornelius was simply holding the cage for Jaemin and being a good friend. He was also trying to be as still as he could so the other nifflers could chew up his underwear. He'd have a real excuse as to going commando.
The boy sighed.
Nifflers like shiny stuff, right? Cornelius reached for coins in his pocket and dropped one by one into the cage. Come on, Niffly. There's all the shiny in there for you...
....Or it could listen to Jaemin. Whichever was awesome as long as it didn't pee...
Was the drawer leaking?
O_______________o

The niffler was now in the small human's [Jaemin] arms. He didn't fight much, but his nose kept a-going, sniff sniff SNIFFING away. The boy's pockets weren't safe, the inside of his shirt wasn't safe NOWHERE WAS SAFE.
SHINY.
THERE WAS A SHINY.
IT WAS RIGHT THERE.
Without any hesitation, the niffler leapt into the small container that the other boy [Cornelius] was holding. He took the coin in his paws and sniffed it up and close personally. Then, he set it back down and lay on his belly, giving the coin a nudge with his nose.
Content. The niffler was content for now.
.....
Meanwhile, three nifflers were playing tug-of-war with a pair of robes in the dorm belonging to the OTHER two boys. [Oliver and Dalton] Someone had left coins in their robes...

He'd held nifflers before, in Professor Draper's creature barn thing. He'd played with them and everything. But this was the first time he was holding a niffler that he had decided was his, and that made all the difference. Jaemin gently stroked the little creature, careful not to drop it as it moved about a bit and sniffed at him; he didn't have shinies in his pockets, not right now. Nothing to offer the little-
He tensed up when the niffler leaped out of his arms, stomach giving a lurch because his immediate fear was that it would run away forever. WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC. One hand jerked after the niffler automatically, but it withdrew just as quickly and he let out a quiet gasp when the niffler settled right into the cage in Corny's arms.
"It... it..." he spluttered, immediately reaching to push the door shut. Just in case. He looked at Cornelius, eyes wide. "We caught it!"
THEY HAD REALLY CAUGHT A WHOLE NIFFLER. The small boy was too stunned to properly react with the joy he should have rightfully been feeling. | |

It WORKED.
His idea FREAKING worked and there was a niffler inside the cage and WHY WAS HE SO EXCITED. It wasn't even his, though, they should share fifty percent parentage.
"We did it, Jaemin! We did it!" The boy beamed from ear to ear. Look alive, buddy! Cornelius wiggled a finger against the cage. "Hello, there. That's--" he pointed at Jaemin "daddy #1 and I'm daddy #2." Getting introductions out of the way and all.
Cornelius took a quick glance back at the door. "Want to catch more? If not you should make a run for it before our Head of House comes in here and decides to let it free." He was NOT risking their triumph just to get caught.
