| | |  Glow Up - Start of Term Party
 The Ravenclaw Common Room is usually pretty airy, comfortable and elegant in looks but something different has been done today. The darkness of the room hits you instantly as you step into the room of, well, a huge, house slumber party. The midnight-blue floor was now adorned with mats, beanbags and a huge variety of cushions, though a starry reflection of the ceiling did peek through here and there.
However, what made this vastly different to an average slumber party was the decoration Hirsch has put up everywhere. Forget fairy lights, glow in the dark stars and jars were floating around the place, illuminating the place with a glowy, fluorescent look. The place has been lit up enough to allow you access to move around comfortably but do try not to look at the stars for too long.
Along one side of the common room, various snacks and other items have been set up. For the sweet-toothed members of the house, a wide range of sweet items sit on the table with everything from cookies and s'mores to chocolate frogs and crystallised pineapples. Not a sweets fan? Maybe try the spring rolls or the mini pizza rolls, the latter of which has gone down very well with the Defence Professor. Jars and bottles - yes, the glowing kind - of pumpkin juice and hot chocolate are sitting towards the end of the table, right next to the paper plates and cups.
Something different about this table is the inclusion of a small, even glowed-up area. There are a bunch of fluorescent face paints there along with tiny brushes. Paint whatever you like and, if you give it a small tap with your wand, you might get a surprise in the form of a moving, glow-in-the-dark face paint. Do be warned that they won't last longer than the night.
Speaking of, the man can be found sitting on a cushion in the middle of the room, leaning back on his elbows and looking up at the ceiling. Do come in and enjoy yourself. This glow-in-the-dark slumber party is for you, after all.
OOC: EEEEEEEEEE HAI CLAW!BABIES  Okay so this is the start of term party but please remember to keep things as PG as possible. All site rules apply and I will not be a happy unicorn if anyone tries to break them. Thank you and enjoy! ^^ | |

"wow" that had been his first word upon arriving inside the Ravenclaw common room for the first time in his life. The fifth year looked around in amazement at the floating stars and although the room was pretty dark, the stars made it so that he could still walk through the room without falling over a table or chair.
He spotted the same man from earlier at the House Table and he now knew for sure that he was their Head of House. Should he say hello or was that too weird? Thinking for a moment, he then shrugged his shoulders and walked closer. But then turned to the snack table at the last second to grab a mini pizza roll.
Maybe he should just see what others would do...

Whoaaaaaaaaa
Holy Fluorescent Fwoopers! The common room was glowing!
Azura took one careful step into the room followed by another, her purple eyes moving anxiously in every direction as she took in the common room! This looked amazing. More than amazing really! It was superlative!
She took a step inside and waved at Professor Hirsch, was this what it was like to have him as a head of house? If so,, it was totally awesome! "Hello Professor! " she said with a warm smile as she looked around. "This is amazing. " despite what was going on in her life, she was actually really happy right now.
She headed over to the panting station.. And picked up some glowing blue paint and started to paint some stars on her face, very carefully with the help of a mirror, she added a moon and then tapped the paint and grinned..
Her face now held a glowing moon.. And falling stars were raining down her cheeks and across her nose.
Awesome. | |

Bounding into the common room, like an excited, energetic puppy, Hadley skidded to a stop. It was dark. Very dark. Fortunately, she knew the best way to fix that. The red-haired Californian pulled out Kira, her wand and made a circling motion out in front of her. "Expecto Patronum!" Not even a wisp of light flowed from her wand. "Dang it." She needed a stronger memory.
She was running out of memories to use.
Of course Hadley could just cast lumos, but where was the fun in that? She waited patiently for her eyes to adjust and then grinned. A glow-in-the dark slumber party! Neat! This was just another great thing in a night full of great things. She didn't get ketchup on her. She didn't lose points at the feast. Hirsch was HoH. And now a glow-in-the-dark party! Hads was never as thrilled that she was a Ravenclaw as she was right now.
First she made her way over to Hirsch and curtsied. "Sir knight! Love what you did to the place." Did she really need to tell him how pleased she was that he was her HoH? Or did her energetic tone tell him that for her?
With a small nod of the head, Hadley made her way to the face paint. Glow-in-the-dark warpaint, here I come! Hey Azura!"

Cassie was more than glad for the feast to be over and to be released to go upstairs to their common room. With the journey from London and the drama of the ghosts she had eaten the dinner when it had arrived quietly. But now it was time to see what their new head of house and anyone else that might have been involved had waiting for them. Stepping inside after gaining entrance, the third year had to admit that she wasn’t disappointed with what she was greeted with. Her eyes flickering around the room that was both dark and glowing all at one time.
“Now this is a more awesome way to start things,” she mused aloud smiling. “Good evening, Professor,” she greeted the man pretty relaxed among the Ravenclaws already gathered. Moving to the food, Cass grabbed herself some hot chocolate, sipping on it and and wandering around taking in the sites and people.
“Hey guys,” she greeted her yearmates, silently noting that Azura looked better than she had in passing at the feast.

Chris headed to the common room in feeling a bit irritated because it seemed that this year was going to start off about as badly as last year. Sighing he answered the question in an aggitated voice and walked in. His eyes widened though as he saw the difference in the common room. Whaaaaaaaaat? He looked around and smiled. This. Was. FANTASTIC!!
His eyes fell on a familiar face all adorable, with stars on her face and a moon on her head. Standing still he just watched her and couldn't help but smile slightly. She really was just adorable. Reaching up he rubbed his chest and winced slightly. He wanted to head over but instead went to the professor and sat down near him with a sigh. His eyes still on her he swallowed. Yes...this was going to be a very long year.

So Finnlay had already decided that he was NOT a fan of this common room before even stepping foot in it. First of all, how many flights of stairs had they just climbed? And how was he supposed to find this place again when he lost track of where they were after the third moving staircase?! A bit grumpy, he therefore was less than thrilled at the prospect of having to riddle out a hard puzzle (one that will likely be magically-based when he was a muggleborn), even if he just had to grab something quickly from his dorm in between classes.
Therefore, when he finally did enter the room, his first reaction to a mostly dark room was one of incredulity. Do wizards not know about electricity? Ridiculous, if so. But as his eyes adjusted, he instantly changed his attitude. Ohhhh this was actually really cool!
Finn looked up at the prefects that had led the first years to this spot. Could they just.. take a look around?

Finn looked up at the prefects that had led the first years to this spot. Could they just.. take a look around? Face decorated in glowing warpaint? Check. Ferret on her shoulder, also wearing glowing warpaint? Check again Asher hadn't much liked getting his face painted, but tolerated it enough for Hads to finish. Now they matched, and it was adorable. She'd have words with anyone that said otherwise.
Hadley made her way to the food table and loaded a plate up with pizza rolls and chocolate frogs and cookies and grabbed a glowing jar of hot chocolate. She wasn't training to be an animagus yet, so she could give in and have some sweets now. Loaded up, Hadley made her way to the bean bags, about to sit down in the one closest to Hirsch when in the faint light of glowing things she spotted a boy.
A nervous looking kid, unsure of everything going on. She hadn't been that way, but that didn't mean she wasn't sympathetic to those that were. Hads made her way over to the boy. "Hey, kid." She held out a pizza roll for him. They were delicious. Everyone loved pizza rolls. "Welcome to Ravenclaw."

Azura turned with a smile as she saw her dorm mate come up to her. "Hey Haddie! How's it going? " She asked with a smile, they were in a glowy party with the best Head of House ever, it couldn't be super bad right?
She turned her head and spotted another one of her dorm mates and she smiled at Cassie, waving at her as a few stars raced across her face.. She was about to say hello when the door opened again and here came..
Chris.
It was a good thing it was dark, for an intense look of pain crossed the Raven haired girls face. She swallowed a little as she felt her knees go a bit weak and she sighed as she turned her gaze from Chris..
Every muscle in her body wanted to go over and sit down next to him.. But she couldn't.. And it hurt.. Badly.
And it was all her fault..

Still not in the mood to do some socializing, Jace tried to convince himself that he wasn’t tired from the day and would rather stay in the Library, however, his eyes were failing him. He couldn’t absorb any information from the book anymore, and to accept defeat, he made his way back to the Ravenclaw Tower to relax on his bed.
Quickly answering the riddle at the door, Jace stepped inside the circular common room...and squinted at what he saw. To him, it looked like the new Head of House threw a funky Astronomy welcoming party for them. Jace showed himself in as quietly as possible. The next thing he knew, he found himself drawn towards the refreshment area...well, a glass of pumpkin juice would be nice... Quote:

Grunting, he winced at the pain on his right arm and lifted his head to see what he tripped on. Another pained grunt came out of his mouth as soon as he saw the house-elf. “Ow...gommenasai...” he wasn’t sure if the house elf can understand him, but he did sound apologetic, right? Jace pushed himself up into a sitting position, and rubbed his semi-injured arm.

Janelle had taken the long way to the Common Room and at last she had arrived. After solving her first riddle of the term she crossed the threshold and entered the familiar room. Janelle stopped short, the darkness catching her off guard. Well this was different. She had seen a lot of things in her time at Hogwarts, but never a glow in the dark Common Room. It was actually pretty cool.
Once her eyes adjusted to the lack of light, Janelle took in the scene. The thing that made her smile the most was the food. She made a beeline for the food table and grabbed a spring roll, some crystallized pineapple and some pumpkin juice to wash it down. Yes, this was a good welcome party.
Spotting her new Head of House, Janelle addressed him. "Hello Professor Hirsch. Nice party." She found an empty beanbag chair and sat down carefully. It was time to enjoy her snacks. Janelle began to nibble on her spring roll and sat back to enjoy the floating stars.

By which he really meant was it going to fly, bite, scare, or otherwise do something magical and unexpected like some of the sweets had on the train.
But she looked nice enough. And when in Rome..
He reached out and took it, putting the whole thing in his mouth at once. " Phanks," he said with a full mouth, starting to feel the tiniest bit welcomed after all. " Not to be rude, but... what's up with your face?" Then, feeling his own face grow red, he quickly added, " The name's Finnlay, Finnlay Muir. But Finn for short." And no short jokes about his diminutive stature, okay? Quote:

Past the older girl's back, Finn suddenly noticed two strange and very ugly creatures dressed in what looked like togas. What on earth..? Were they supposed to be the house pets or something? If so, he wanted a refund.
One of them (male?! female?!) seemed especially drawn to shiny things, but was a bit too clumsy about it. The resulting crash made Finn jump. He felt badly for the poor thing, but didn't know if he should go help it out. It was banging its head against a book, after all, so it was probably mentally disturbed somehow. For the time being, he glanced towards the older students and prefects. Was that.. normal?

| Stefan pls XD urine trouble | Pat's Strong Confident Other Half | Pees Like a Champion Unicorn Racehorse
Hirsch didn't know how long he'd been waiting there but it had been long enough. Maybe the students had gotten lost? Or maybe the riddle the bronze knocker had given was particularly difficult today. Maybe he'd walk outside to see a whole group of them surrounding the knocker and trying to give an overly sassy answer in an attempt to get in.
What? It was an amusing thought.
Just as he considered getting up and having a look, the sound of someone's voice broke him out of his thoughts. The boy (Mason) might not have been a first year but the Defence Professor vaguely remembered him from the Feast and the Sorting Ceremony in particular. "That's exactly the kind of response I was looking for," he said, smiling at the student, "Hello and welcome to Ravenclaw."
Though he wished he could've kept talking to the boy, the sight of someone else walking through the door caught his attention. The smile widened as h called out, "Hello, Azura. Welcome back!" He needed to have a talk with her at some point but that was something that could wait. Let's not ruin her evening, okay? "Thank you. I take it that's your seal of approval, then?"
.............. And then Hadley Denaker happened.
Thoroughly amused, he watched her failed attempt at casting a Patronus, trying his hardest not to let his laughter be heard by the girl. "Very good attempt, Haddie. Try and think of a stronger memory. One that fills every part of you up with joy and warmth." But then again, she was only a third year. Too young, as far as he was concerned. "I'm very glad that you like it. Unfortunately, I can't keep it like this."
The idea for this party was really going down well, wasn't it? Hirsch couldn't help but smile - he was doing that a lot lately - as the next student to arrive seemed impressed with the decorations. Maybe this was a good enough reason to be late to the feast. Maybe. "I think so too. You don't want a boring meet and greet type event for this." Boring was off the agenda as far as he was concerned. "Good evening, Miss McNally. Did you have a good summer?"
With the room steadily becoming more and more full, the Head of House hardly noticed the arrival of the next young student until said student sighed. Right next to him. Hirsch blinked at the sudden sound and turned to look at.... "Mr Jensen? What's wrong?" And don't tell him that he was fine and didn't need any kind assistance. That wasn't the type of answer Hirsch was looking for. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but follow the boy's gaze until it landed on......... Azura?!
Uh. Should he shouldn't have asked if this was going to be personal.
Oh look, a first year (Finn) One that didn't come with any complications, he hoped. "Hello, and welcome to Ravenclaw," he said, smiling at the young boy, "There's food over by the table and some magical face paint as well." Unless, of course, he'd rather sit on the cushions and beanbags and hang out with the coolest of people?
And then a lot of things happened at once.
Hirsch had calmly been talking to the new first year - it was Mr Muir, wasn't it? - when the arrival of a few more people drove everything else out of his mind. First, Tipples had come in to do some cleaning or looking around, no doubt, and Jace......... well, that was one way to enter the common room and make your presence known, wasn't it?
The expression on the young boy's face was enough to drive everything else out of Hirsch's mind. Frowning, he pushed up from his cushion and made his way towards the third year, instead. "Jace? Are you okay? Does anything hurt?" And, er, come again? What was that? As for the house elves, "Tippin, you're okay. You-"
CRASH!
Hirsch, usually a very collected person, ended up jumping at the sudden sound and turned his head to see who had caused so much of a ruckus. Not that he would be the type to tell someone off but there was a certain nature about him that made him feel..... protective. Especially now. But his eyes landed on Toddles and the mess from the table on the floor. "Toddles, you've done nothing wrong. Help yourself to some food, okay?" And please stop banging your head? This was a PARTY, after all.
There was no time to ponder on this as the door to the common room swung open yet again and someone else was addressing him. Looking up, the Defence Professor managed a smile as he said, "Hello, Miss Guidry. I'm glad you like the decorations. Those spring rolls really are excellent." Not to mention the pizza rolls.

Oh no. Oh no! Did he just attract attention to himself?
Startled, he gaped at the house elf in front of him for a good few seconds and found himself nodding in assurance. "I will be fine...er...house elf-san." All house elves seem to look alike, so Jace wasn't sure which house elf he was talking too.
Jace could feel his cheeks go red as he heard the soft thudding of Hirsch's shoes against the carpeted floor. He's sure that he's not the clumsy type, but walking in a darkened common room isn't really his thing. That would require special talent, right? Or maybe not. "It's...it's my arm professor. I broke it last summer but it's healed now. I'm sure the pain is just from the shock of falling..." Nothing too serious, yeah? Not that he hates Healers, but he thinks it's unnecessary to have it checked again. "It's okay, I can handle it professor..." he said slowly looking up at the man, "...or should I call you House Master from now on?" he continued as his face was shadowed by a grin who just uncovered a secret. The Headmaster failed to announce who the new Heads of Houses were during his speech, so Jace figured that Hirsch is their new Head since he's gone out of his way to throw them a party...correct?
Aaand just when he got comfortable talking to the man, a loud crash erupted nearby. Jace's eyes were as big as saucers when he saw another elf banging its head against the leg of the table...repeatedly. "What the hell??" he said in his native tongue and extended his arm towards the crazed elf. "Please stop! STOP!"
Merlin. What is wrong with THIS SCHOOL?!

"I'm very glad that you like it. Unfortunately, I can't keep it like this."
Hadley grinned sheepishly and nodded. She figured that already. The problem was finding a strong enough memory. She was running out of a possible memories though. "Working on it, Sir Knight." Maybe if she had an idea of an appropriate memory? Hmmm... "What's your memory?"
She glanced around the room, and shrugged. "It would be cool if you could." Quote:

By which he really meant was it going to fly, bite, scare, or otherwise do something magical and unexpected like some of the sweets had on the train.
But she looked nice enough. And when in Rome..
He reached out and took it, putting the whole thing in his mouth at once. "Phanks," he said with a full mouth, starting to feel the tiniest bit welcomed after all. "Not to be rude, but... what's up with your face?" Then, feeling his own face grow red, he quickly added, "The name's Finnlay, Finnlay Muir. But Finn for short." And no short jokes about his diminutive stature, okay?
Past the older girl's back, Finn suddenly noticed two strange and very ugly creatures dressed in what looked like togas. What on earth..? Were they supposed to be the house pets or something? If so, he wanted a refund.
One of them (male?! female?!) seemed especially drawn to shiny things, but was a bit too clumsy about it. The resulting crash made Finn jump. He felt badly for the poor thing, but didn't know if he should go help it out. It was banging its head against a book, after all, so it was probably mentally disturbed somehow. For the time being, he glanced towards the older students and prefects. Was that.. normal? "Hadley," she smiled. "But Hads for short." Hadley popped a pizza roll into her mouth. She pulled a baggie of raw meat from her pocket and fed a piece to the ferret on her shoulder. "And this is Asher. He was a gift from Hogwarts on my 12th birthday."
Introductions out of the way, Hads regarded the kid. Finn was kinda adorable in a shy, awkward way. She smiled at him and nodded. "It's safe. All the food is." As long as you didn't talk to Blaise Bellaire. "As far as I can tell they're just regular pizza rolls. The chocolate frogs are good, but fair warning, they tend to leap about when you first open them. Scared the heck out of me first time I had one." She been there before, her first year here.
"My face?" What did he mean by that? She pulled out another piece of raw meat and fed it to Asher, noticing the glowing warpaint on his little furry face. Ohhhhh. She grinned. "Glow-in-the-dark warpaint. Might be magical, but seems more the mundane variety. Come on," she nodded her head at the paint table, "I'll paint your face if you want. Whatever design you wish, though I think the warpaint is kinda cool. We can conquer the common room together!" Afterall, why wear warpaint if you weren't planning to go to war?
And then CRASH! Hadley jumped. Asher jumped higher and dug his little claws into her shoulder to keep from falling off. "Ow!" She helped the ferret back onto her shoulder and turned to see what the commotion was. "House elves...don't mind them. They're usually not around much and usually not so destructive. Kinda high strung though."

POP!
Nimma appeared with a small eep! A mess. There was a mess, made by Toddles! Bad Toddles. House elves clean, they don't make messeses.
Ignoring Tippin and Toddles, Nimma hurried over to the mess and quickly began straightening it up. She would get things nice and pretty for Masterses and Mistresses. Everything would be back to normalses.

Unfortunately, Rooney had came up to his Common Room a while after the rest of his house. He'd walked them up the stairs and let Kitty take the helm, because there was way too much going on in his head that he couldn't do any more welcoming than he had already. And then he'd just had to deal with breaking up with Minnie and hearing her say that she'd kissed someone else. The worst time for it to happen because now he just wanted to get Olivia out of her common room and sweep her off her feet with a kiss just to spite his now ex girlfriend.
But he had to go to bed.
His bed. Now...
So he stormed his way into the midst of the Ravenclaw...gathering and his face hardened. No, no no. This was not what he wanted and not what he needed and he was absolutely furious that this was the PLAN when he needed to have quiet. He wanted a book. He wanted a quiet corner that he could mask his tears in.
Instead he shoved his way through and ran up to his dorm before the overflow of tears happened.

Actually, make that two someones, thought he wasn't sure how helpful knowing a pet ferret would be. " Hadley and Asher. Got it." And keeping a bag of raw meat in your pocket? Not exactly normal. " Hogwarts? Hogwarts gives out birthday gifts, huh? Neat!" He would have to count down the days til his own gift later.
Trying to ignore that those hands had just fed raw meat to a ferret, he continued to chomp down on his pizza roll with satisfaction. He'd been too nervous to eat a lot at the feast, so this was welcome. " Yeah, I had one on the train already. But I felt something rattle a bit in the box so I had a hint ahead of time."
He followed her as she headed over towards the face paint. " I don't know what I want. Maybe just.." Oh, yeah! " How about a raven? For Ravenclaw!" No one had explained the whole eagle-not-raven thing to him yet, obviously.
" Oh, you alright?" It would be rotten luck for the only person he knew to have to leave for the infirmary right away. Then he'd be alone again. " House.. elves?" he asked skeptically. Those things didn't look anywhere close to the Christmas elves he had grown up hearing about. " If you say so." He was about to ignore them and keep heading over towards the face paint when one of the house elves came up to him. Quote:

But no matter, whatever the things were called, one was offering him a cookie. And that was a no brainer. " Um.. yeah. Yes, sure. Please," he finally stammered, remembering his manners. Quote:

Unless, of course, he'd rather sit on the cushions and beanbags and hang out with the coolest of people? Oh, Finnlay recognized him from the staff table at dinner! He must be the adult in charge around here. " Hello, sir, and thank you." He was beginning to feel a little welcome now that he knew someone's name. People here really liked to eat! " Well to be honest, sir, after the big dinner, the cookie that the tippins just gave me, and the pizza roll from Hadley, I'm not sure how much more room I have!" Hopefully he wasn't disappointing one of his professors before classes even began. " But Hadley offered to paint my face. I'm getting a raven for my new house!" His little chest puffed out with a bit more pride than he would have had only minutes earlier.

His little chest puffed out with a bit more pride than he would have had only minutes earlier. Oh. Oops. She probably should have been a bit more specific with that. "No. Not really. Not usually." Hopefully he won't be too upset by the let down. "My birthday is the first day of school. Tomorrow. And well, we had our Ravenclaw party then, rather than after the feast, because well, there was some trouble at the feast that year..." She didn't bother to mention she'd been part of that trouble, or that it was fun for her and no one else in her house. "Anyway, a bunch of ferrets and pygmy puffs got loose somehow," don't ask her, she doesn't even know how they got there, "and as a thank you for helping to round them up, we got to keep one. So it was like Hogwarts gave me a birthday gift." Never mind she actually kept Asher and a pygmy puff...
Hadley smiled sweetly at the boy. "I know it gets a bit overwhelming at first, but you get used to it, don't worry. Pretty soon, everything that seems bizarre or wrong to you will seem normal." As it had for her. "It's a great place to be really." He had a chocolate frog on the train? Neat. "See, you're already doing better with it than I did."
Hads nodded, as she rubbed her shoulder. "Yeah, I'm fine. Asher just dug his claws into me to keep from falling off." As he could probably tell, by her reaction to the house elf crashing into whatever, and her story about being startled by the chocolate frog, she startled relatively easy. "You sure you don't want an eagle?" She asked dipping a brush into the glowing paint. "House mascot after all. We're called Ravenclaw because Rowena Ravenclaw founded the house." Hads nodded to where the statue of Rowena stood, but it was too dark to see it right now. "There's a statue of her over there somewhere. She chose the eagle as our mascot. Not sure why though. Ravens are actually super smart and so would be fitting for a house mascot." It was adorable that he was so proud of their house. In a way, Hads envied him that. So torn was she between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, it was hard to feel that overwhelming house pride sometimes.

She turned her head and spotted another one of her dorm mates and she smiled at Cassie, waving at her as a few stars raced across her face.. She was about to say hello when the door opened again and here came..
Chris.
It was a good thing it was dark, for an intense look of pain crossed the Raven haired girls face. She swallowed a little as she felt her knees go a bit weak and she sighed as she turned her gaze from Chris..
Every muscle in her body wanted to go over and sit down next to him.. But she couldn't.. And it hurt.. Badly.
And it was all her fault.. Quote:

That wasn't the type of answer Hirsch was looking for. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but follow the boy's gaze until it landed on......... Azura?!
Uh. Should he shouldn't have asked if this was going to be personal. Chris sat watching his...ex girlfriend... Ugh he hated that word. It made him want to be sick. At least she was having fun right? His attention turned toward the professor as he spoke and he shrugged. "Girls, sir. Girls." Why did everything have to be so complicated? It shouldn't be right? And she made it just as bad as Mia had. Ugh. Yup he was pretty sure he was going to be sick. He rubbed his chest and his eyes went back to her.
He knew she saw him. He saw her look. Could he just go over and talk to her? Was that allowed?
His thoughts were broken as the elves caused a scene and he watched with a mild interest. His concentration had been focused on her so much that he hadn't even noticed what started the ruckus. Instead he leaned back in the little bean bag chair trying to will Az to come talk to him because he sure wasn't going to be the one to start that.

Kitty guided the Ravenclaws back to the common room after the feast was over. This was her first time doing it but it wasn't all that difficult. She warned the first years about the moving stairs and told them about how they would have to answer a riddle to get into the common room. "Don't worry, we'll open it for you tonight. And you can help each other find the answer on other days, I'll give you clues if I'm available." Rooney had drifted on somewhere in the back, which was good so that he help any stragglers who didn't know where to go. She moved at a slow pace anyway so there wasn't much risk for that. Then came the riddle. It went like this:
I make your teeth go chitter,
At the same time I am sweet,
Some of my friends are bitter,
But people them do eat.
My name consists of two words,
With a hyphen in between,
One part is food for owl-birds,
The other one is cold, if you know what I mean.
So be careful when you choose me,
For I am more than I seem,
But don’t hesitate to take me,
I see it in your eyes, the gleam…
"This one's easy." Kitty tossed her hair back and answered confidently. "Ice mice." The door swung open and they were let in. Kitty moved back to let some of the Ravens in first before entering herself. Her eyes lit up as she saw the glow in the dark table. "Hello Professor Hirsch," she said with a smile at the professor as she approached the glowing materials."Wicked! This is brilliant professor!"
