Music. That's what he would have a house dedicated to. A common room that was full of people who enjoyed the same thing as you. An entire musical hoard of children, oh yes. OR JUST CREATIVITY. Ohhhhhhhhh Rooney couldn't decide at all and he really had no idea what other people would be doing. Actually, he threw another one of his looks back at Liv and Carlton and decided that he would have to go with creativity so that he could have them in his house, was it a real thing.

Taking out his quill, Rooney started to brainstorm.

Fifth House Ideas

CREATIVE : Music, dance, art, anyone that isn't Zander Adair or Blaise Bellaire
INSPIRING : Olivia Phillips ♥
MUSICAL : Actual talent or actual interest?? WHICH.?
ARTISTIC : Yes.

As for his house name, he needed to really think about that. And the animal...he was also having to think about. Why was this such a big decision to make? Back to thinking and covering his parchment in words that popped into his head.

Carlton was deep in thoughts, even after the discussion ended and Kitty had stormed off. Both Liv and Kitty had told him he wasn't evil. So that was good. Plus, Katy, a girl he'd never talked to (but of course seen around in class and their common room), had blown kisses his way. Carlton blushed at that and turned to the front, bending his head down over his notes. Katy was nice. She'd called him magnificent AND he'd gotten air-kisses. Squeal.



Carlton had to admit he felt relieved when professor Newton put an end to the discussion which had gotten quite heated. It had made him uncomfortable and he despised arguments, even though Katy had blown him kisses. Professor Newton also assured him that being a Slytherin didn't make him evil. Which was nice. But he was still feeling... Odd.

He listened to the instructions, a task he'd normally feel very excited about. A cold, gnawing feeling in his stomach kind of took away the joy from it all though. When everyone's eyes were drawn towards professor Newton, Carlton quietly removed his Slytherin scarf and shoved it down his bag. The room was warm anyway. He focused on what House he would found if he could. A name, animal, colors and characteristics. Right.

He wanted his house to have a Wookie as an animal, because well... Because of Chewbacca. But he couldn't draw him at all, he didn't have Roo's talent. Carlton thought for a while longer before jotting down his ideas in his notebook.




What color was the giant squid again? Carlton only saw it that once in Divination class and the shock had made him forget. The house colors would be whatever the giant squid colors were. He wondered a bit more if he would add some more characteristics but he felt rather pleased with what he'd accomplished. Carlton started doodling the crest for his house and hummed a little to himself while he did it.

Ugh. The Ravenclaw Female Prefect JUST wasn't hearing it and honestly it was great that she was pro-muggle, but it was more than just being against criticizing a historical figure. Kitty had not be merely criticizing a figure but saying we shouldn't learn about him because he was a child murderer. The girl was, as Katy so eloquently stated, ignorant and to be honest, Skylar was GLAD to see her storm out of the classroom. Though she did have to question how such an ignorant person got sorted into Ravenclaw, and kind of felt sorry for Hayley and Noah, because they definitely were not like Kitty.

But forget pondering because Skylar was relieved when the Professor put an end to the disagreements by saying Salazar Slytherin's ways did not taint the house or the members of it. But moving on, because it was activity time now and the quite heated debate was over and even though she wondered what a fifth house had to do with exams, she guessed it was more a creativity exercise than anything. Not to mention it was nice to be able to think away from the stigmas that the four Hogwarts founders created, considering what happened mere moments ago with the founder of her own house.

Looking over at Hattie, she frowned when the hufflepuff was working on her own, but it did give her inspiration for a house. Blue-green eyes flicked back to her blank parchment as she jotted down a few notes...

Text Cut: Notes

House Name: Pattory (Or Skyriet? Hatlar?)
House Animal:
House Colors: Green and Yellow
Characteristics for its members: You must believe in friendships and happily ever afters and creating your own way. Be a legacy, in terms of at least one parent must have been friends with the parent of another member.
House Crest:

Pressing the quill to her mouth, she sighed trying to think on things that made her and Hattie's friendship tick. What was at the core of their friendship? Also, what was an animal that embodied friendship?

They had to make their own house? But...hadn't all the really good personality traits basically already been accounted for? Ugh. This was going to take some creativity, and Kane hadn't had any tea or caffeine today, so he was going to need some assistance with this one.

"Anyone wanna partner up??" he asked the general area.

She was going to just start writing her note to Lily, see if they could plan a band sleepover for winter break. Maybe they could use Hady's apartment for it. They could kick Frankie out for the evening so it could be just the girls. He wouldn't mind, she hoped. They could always just have it at her house like always. She had the perfect house for a sleepover.

She looked up as she heard someone ask about a partner. She really should probably try to do the assignment. "Hey, I'll work with you." She actually enjoyed this hufflepuff. He was fun, plus maybe he had some of that candy that he bought over summer in his bag.

Getting up she grabbed her stuff and moved closer to the boy. "So what do you think? What type of house would you want here?"

Leon smiled warmly at her and he gently took a chance and brushed a finger over her cheek.. "I have the upmost confidence. " He said with a smile as he let his finger drop and then grinned as her as she spoke..

"I've wanted to be one for awhile as well! I want to protect people and.be there for them. " He explained as he listened to her and grinned.. "Well I'll make sure not to get in your bad side then.. but maybe.. we should have a combat challenge? It could be fun.." He said with a slight smirk..

He laughed as she spoke.. "It is a bit isn't it? I do like Marvel.." He replied before grinning.. "Swooping Evil is awesome!! Yes! That shall be our house animal. " He said with a grin..

"Altor is perfect! " Just like she was!

"Colors? What is your favorite color? "

Kane grinned when the Head Girl, Nat, agreed to work with him. He knew getting in good with the Head Girl would end up paying off! Hehe. He smiled and moved so he had some room next to him for her to sit.

"Well, what's a pretty important trait that the other houses don't really capitalize on much?" he wondered aloud. "You've got Hufflepuffs who are loyal...Ravenclaws are smart and value intelligence...Slytherins are cunning and ambitious, and Gryffindors are brave and noble...any ideas of what they're missing?" he asked with a slight frown. He couldn't really think of something that couldn't be thrown into the other houses...

"I have an idea for colors! We should do purple and gray. Like a really light gray, not the silver-y color the Slytherins have. That would be a nice new addition to the house colors, I think," he told her with a grin. SOOOOO yes. He'd at least had SOMETHING to add to the group project!

Katy didn't dislike people in general, but she just worked better on her own sometimes. Especially when she knew what she wanted and didn't need anyone slowing her down with their own ideas. Like she wasn't going to say no if someone wanted help, but she was content to do it herself.

Because this was her thought... what if she looked at it from a different angle? What if the point wasn't a new way to split people up even further, but a way to let them come together? Maybe the new house should throw people together in a new way, well before they have to be torn asunder by house designation.

A firstie house. And she'd name it after herself, because she was the genius who dreamed it up. Katy flourished her quill and began scratching out her ideas on her parchment.

Quote:

House: Toussaint
Mascot: Baby bunnies
House Colors: Purple and white
Character aspect: no differentiation for character BUT all first years are Toussaints. They learn that they have more in common than differences, and they make friends with people who will end up in other houses. Causes overall increased school unity and community.

She listened as he spoke. Yes, she knew those traits and how some people didn't seem to fit into them. Her thoughts went to a book series she had read once in the muggle library in Australia. Could it work here as well? She thought more as he kept talking about the traits. When he brought up colors she smiled, "I think an artistic house would be cool, but I bet others have already thought of it." With no real artistic classes she could see many of them wanting a house for this reason.

"How much knowledge do you have on muggle books?" Looking at him knowing it was a weird question. "I mean there was a book series that talked about having four factions and then there was a group that didn't fit in any of them or more that they fit in all of them. I feel like I've seen that here. There are just some people that you stop and go I think you would have been better in this house." Was he following her train of thought?

"What if the fifth house was like the house that was for people that fit into everyone house, so they weren't just right for one house." What could it's name be though?

Brent didn't have a partner, but it was all cool, because he had specific ideas in his head, and he really didn't want any other input. Not that he would have minded it or anything, but he already had plans for his house theme, the mascot, and the colors and what they stood for. What if someone else had completely different ideas? Yeah...he was better off alone.

He took out a piece of parchment and began jotting down ideas. His parchment looked a little something like this:

House: The Aviators
Why? This is a house for people who love broom sports, like Quidditch or Quodpot. You have to be really good at it, too. None of this 'Oh, I like it, but I can't really play' stuff. This is the house for the hardcore athletes!
Animal: Bird, no idea which one yet
Colors: Blue and yellow. Blue for the sky and yellow for the color of the Sun
Crest:

...well, he would have to work on that last part. The rest was pretty much set in stone, though!

Everything was quiet again, which Rosalyn liked, but she couldn't help thinking about Kitty. The outburst was more than uncharacteristic for the Ravenclaw Prefect and she would need to look for her after class and hand out a punishment. Hopefully she would be calmer by then and reflect on her actions.

Driving that out of her mind for the moment, she glanced around the room before checking her watch. "There is another fifteen minutes left, everyone." Just so they knew how much time they had. It seemed as if everyone was making progressed and she believed that they would all be able to complete the activity. Rosalyn couldn't wait to see their work!

OOC: Great job everyone! Another 48 hours to get everything finished.

Juno's face was on fire. At least that was what it felt like after he touched her cheek so gently. She almost lost all senses and let her jaw drop to the ground, but she just let the fire burn her face instead. "Well, then." She grinned and bit her bottom lip. That's all she could muster up at the moment.

She beamed up at him. She had always wanted to protect people as well. She also wanted to teach people hot to protect themselves without a wand, if necessary, for those possibilities of coming in contact with muggles that want to harm them. That way at least it would be a fair fight for a muggle. "That is exactly the reason why I want to be an Auror as well." He chuckled and flushed at his next comment...the possibilities. "That would be fun...but I don't want to hurt you." She said with an evil grin. Though there was no possible way she could hurt him...he was like a house compared to her.

"Marvel is great! I've always had a thing for Captain America...," She said thoughtfully. Perfect she was glad he agreed with not only the Animal but the name she came up with as well.

She quickly jotted down the name, house, and characteristics they were going for. "Awesome. This is great so far. Um my favorite color....," She thought for a moment, pretending she wasn't sure though she knew it because her bedroom at home was covered in the color, "....Purple. Yours?" She asked with a grin.

SPOILER!!: Our House

House Name: Altor
House Animal: Swooping Evil
House Colors:
Characteristics for its members: Protectors, believe in fighting for justice, kind, caring, will help anyone in need.
House Crest:

Gaston hated dressing up in costumes! He thought they drew too much unnecessary attention to himself, and that made him uncomfortable. But this year, he'd been asked to dress up as Santa Claus and deliver candy canes to the students and staff, and he hadn't the heart to refuse. After all, it was for the kids! The charms professor was completely unrecognizable now. The padded Santa suit he wore added bulk to him, and he's used a charm to lengthen his hair and beard and turn them white. He even found a spell to disguise his voice because he knew his accent would be a dead giveaway! Only his brilliant blue eyes provided a clue to his identity.

Jingle, jingle, jingle! Gaston Santa Claus jingled a little bell to get the students' attention as he approached the History of Magic classroom. "HO, HO, HO!" he shouted as he stepped inside. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

He set the large red sack slung over his shoulder onto the floor in front of him with a thump. "Let's see what Santa has for all the good students of Hogwarts!" He reached into the bag and pulled out a candy cane. "Here's something for... Mr. Brent Westwood!" He handed the Slytherin the candy cane; attached to it was a little card that read:

Quote:

To: Brent Westwood

Hey there,

You probably think this gram thing is just for fun, well let me say, it certainly looks to be so. Here's some free candy so you won't need to wait on line at the train again.

Hope you're enjoying Hogwarts so far!

From: Your favorite sarcasm princess

Santa reached back into the sack and produced another candy cane. "And here's one for..." He paused to read the card. "Mr. Kane Westwood!" He handed the candy to the younger Westwood brother. The attached card said:

Quote:

To: Kane Westwood

What's up, man! I couldn't ask for a better brother. You're a cool lil dude, bro.

From: Brent Westwood

But Santa still wasn't done! He still had one more gift to deliver! "Ooh, and here's something for Professor Newton!" he exclaimed, reaching into the sack one more time. This gift was a little different than the others. instead of one candy cane, there were two tied together to form a heart, and the attached card read:

Quote:

To: Rosalyn Newton

My dearest Rose -

You fill my life
with sweetness and light
Here's hoping your holiday
is merry and bright

From: G.M.

Santa's bright blue eyes twinkled, and if the professor looked closely, she'd catch a faint glimpse of a burn scar on his left arm as he handed her the candy. "Well, I must be off! Lots of gifts to deliver!" he said as he turned away, picking up his sack and slinging it over his shoulder. And then he was gone.

Ohhh they get to create their own houses?? His dad did something like this when he was here and Tenacius still had the MAVERICKS house banner mockup. The boy loved it so much he did.

So now it was his turn. What kind of House would he create if he can make one? He doodled for a bit going with this idea then with that.... he was taking wayyyy too long on the conceptualization innit? Welp.... might as well go with something he felt strongly about-- which is FLAVOR! That was always his thing, not just food but anything that can be tasted and created in a kitchen, or the potions lab, if he wanted to get really hard core about it. So there he goes, grabbing some parchment and some drawing materials... oh he knew what his House Animal aka Mascot can be-- the one and only true rep of a foodie-- Taz! Because how many times was he likened to this Muggle cartoon creature? Way too many times.

He had a tough time trying to come up with the house name though, but he finally settled down for a Latin word for Taste, because thats what this house will be all about mmhm.

Quote:

House Name: Gustus
House Mascot: Tazmanian Devil
House Colors: White with Rainbow/ Funfetti accents
House Characteristics: loves to experience and create all sorts of FLAVORS may it be food or drink or seasonings and techniques.

Photos!: Gustus House Mascot/ Banner

Aaand he was done! He leaned back in his seat to look at his work. Well it may not be as hard core as his dad's was, but he liked his house creation even more, it fitted him better. And now he's hungry. How appropriate.

Oh wait what the-- look its Santa! Tenacius beamed its quite a sight indeed. And candy grams, hmmm there could be some people he could send this too yup...

Leon grinned as Juno blushed and bit her lower lip, judging by her reaction, she might feel the same way he did about her! Which brought the seventh year quite a bit of relief. Despite his looks, Leon was no dating expert, he was quite the opposite actually. He had never had a girl like him back before, so he was treading new and unexplored waters.

He grinned at her as she teased him about not wanting to hurt him. "Shouldn't that be my line? " He asked with a warm grin as he nudged her a bit. "But we should try it sometime.. " He suggested as she spoke again..

"Marvel is great! It's quite the Juggernaut in the comic book world.. ironically they also have a Character named Juggernaut.. " He said with a grin as she spoke.."Well who doesn't like Cap? Though I myself always like Storm. " He said with a warm smile over at her.

"Purple is a good favorite color, and mine is blue.. maybe for house colors we could do purple and grey? Those two colors work together.. right? " He honestly had no clue.

First of all, Char was definitely naming the house after herself because that was the proper way to name houses. They were at Hogwarts after all! Kettleburn house then, was obviously a perfect choice. She wrote 'Kettleburn' in big twirly pretty letters and let her mind wander a bit. What kind of people would she want in her house? In the Kettleburn house? Which, she decided, really ought to be named after her grandfather, rather than herself. He was a former Minister for Magic, so that would be okay.

Or maybe herself AND her grandfather. Yeah! Good idea, Charlotte KETTLEBURN.

So what kind of characteristics would make a good member of Kettleburn house? Charlotte sucked gently on the end of her quill and thought about it. This wasn't easy was it? Because everyone who wasn't Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, or Slytherin, was a Hufflepuff anyway. Hufflepuff was already 'all the rest' which was why there were so many different kinds of people there. She shot a little look over at her favourite one and smiled to herself.

He could be in her house though, so maybe she ought to figure out what characteristics he had that she admired that she could borrow for Kettleburn house? That was as good of a starting point as any!

Olivia was aghast, to be quite frank. In her opinion, that debate had been pretty mild mannered; at least on her part, anyway. A few of the others had made no secret of their agenda to agitate and provoke the situation. Eyes on you, Katy Toussaint... But screaming and storming out of the classroom was overly dramatic. Even by her standards. If one wished to choreograph a coup, that was one thing, but... Yeah, Kitty had only came across as excessive and rude.... Maybe the Ravenclaw Prefect was just having an off day. Those had been known to happen.

...And Rooney's passionate declaration of her being his girlfriend... truly made her smile. Merlin, he made her heart swell to nearly uncomfortable proportions. He'd been proud of her. That meant a lot. Especially now.

Anyway, they were meant to be working on Fifth Houses, which was strange to her; given that she couldn't quite fathom an additional House grouped in with the four already established. They pretty much covered every base, didn't they? Huh.

Checking that her husband and smol child were okay and doing their own thing, Liv resolved not to disturb them. She'd... Hmph, she'd work with someone. Do her own thing. The Gryffindor was still capable of that. "Katty." Her cousin, you know. Just one of the many family members currently at school with her, to be honest. "Would you like to do something together?"

Kat as always had a opinion, about such matters as the houses of Hogwarts. Since it was in the middle of a lesson, and a great amount of the others had given Kitty their opinion. No sense in adding fuel to the fire. But boy, did Hogwarts need a debate team or something, she was the product of a Slytherin and Gryffindor, She had traits of the houses, and she ended up in Hufflepuff. So that said a lot to her. Your house doesn't define who you are.

Now this was the type of history she could enjoy, the kind that you can make up. She was always good with things like that. Making up things and pretending. Not just that but coming up with fun and creative ideas.She only just had to come up with a fifth house.That was simple and fun.

She was just about to check on finding a partner when she heard her name. She turned to see Olivia, the cousin one that is. "Sure that sounds like fun." Of course it would be, They could definitely come up with a great fifth house. "Have any ideas?' Kat's mind was coming up with a few already now that she was working with her cousin.

Picking the animal mascot was totally not easy. Picking colours wasn't either, so she was definitely sticking with characteristics for now. Obviously her house members would all be sporty and active and athletic, that stuff was important. Whether it was quidditch or dueling or something else. Kindness and selflessnness was also super important. None of that Slytherin out for yourself stuff, Charlotte thought.

What else? Honesty. That was a big deal. Never giving up. Standing up for your beliefs. Supporting others in their goals.

Quote:

name: Kettleburn

characteristics: Kindness, never giving up, true loyalty (no betrayal or being out for yourself!), selflessness, athleticism, creativity, honesty, supporting others in their goals, willingness to experience life and try everything once (except if it goes against the other characteristics)! Standing up for what you believe in.

All admirable things.... but also.... again.... Char was finding it tough to see how someone who was all those things wouldn't end up in Hufflepuff? Humm. Too bad she wasn't in Hufflepuff. She smiled a little to herself thinking about who her housemate would be.

Not that she minded visiting! And she liked being in Gryffindor so... humm.

Oh, where was she? Yup. Characteristics done.

Professor Newton told them that they had about fifteen minutes left and Rooney was just finalising up all of his ideas perfectly, but needed to rewrite them as he had been scribbling everywhere and also drawing out a sketch of his girlfriend next to the Eiffel Tower in the bottom corner... Boy had priorities, really really. It was no surprise that Rooney Bronwyn had gone for something so detailed and a house that he himself would find a home in. He decide that he would go with actual talent as opposed to an interest, because interests meant that he may have had to deal with people without talent.........were this to be a real thing.

House Name: Limelight
Founded By: SIR Rooney Bronwyn
House Colours: RED (like a red carpet) and silver (SPOTLIGHT)
Animal Respresentation: Peacock
Characteristics:
Essential: Talented in an art form that can be put on a stage (acting, singing, instrumenting, dancing), larger than life, loving to be centre of attention, costume ideas are outstanding, will break into song and dance at the most unusual of moments
Desirable: No aversion to great skincare, looking good under the bright lights on a stage, able to name 25 songs that explore their life, can speak multiple languages
Automatic Entry: Being related to the Queen of Theatre at WADA (Miss Phyllis Grimaldi)

Roo chose to go with a Peacock as his house animal because the colours were fun, and he had been said to 'peacock' sometimes. As he finished up his writing, he started to draw out his house crest. The outline was in a band of red and silver stripes, much like a candy cane but with silver instead of white. And then the centre area was just white, so that he could cover it with his peacock. Bright colours with the feathers coming to a dead stop at the outline, as if the peacock was in a frame.

Okay so an animal mascot next. There was already a bird, a couple of mammals, and a snake soooo....

.... fish? Why not a fish??? What kid of fish though? Charlotte doodled a few fishes on her parchment, thinking absently about it. And then she added wings to her fish.

...


FLYING fish! Yeah! The mascot could be flying fish! Because why let what you were born as (a fish) limit you and mean you can't FLY like a bird? This was the best idea ever!!!! Reach for the stars lil fishy! And... get yourself out of deep water if you need to too!

Quote:

name: Kettleburn
animal mascot: Flying Fish.

Standing up for what you believe in.

Carlton looked down at his finished product. Not too shabby, not too shabby at all. Maybe everyone else would get annoyed at the 'Hi Giant Squid'-start to every sentence, but Carlton sure enjoyed the thought. It fit in so nicely with the House that he wasn't prepared to strike it out. Proud over his achievement he finished up coloring in the crest and adding tentacles all around the frame because squid, squid, squid. He wasn't totally sure as to why he'd founded a house based solely on a magical creature living in the great lake but he'd just got an idea and went for it. And it was a real juggernaut of an idea, according to Carlton.



Yes.

With the mascot decision came more related characteristics. Charlotte scribbled them all down on her parchment, quite enjoying herself actually. And you know, they were pretty too, silvery and with lovely wings. Flying fishes that was. They made a pretty cool mascot really. And she was beginning to think that maybe people wouldn't mind being IN her house either, which was good. She wouldn't want to make one up that people didn't find appealing.

But that also meant she needed to market it right though, so the colours needed to be good, and also the crest needed to look pretty. So how was she going to choose colours to use? Char didn't want to pick ones already in use, and she didn't want to pick ones that clashed either. Hmm. How had the original founders decided? Primary and secondary?

She needed some inspiration!

Standing up for what you believe in. Reaching for the stars, getting out of 'deep water' (TROUBLE) when you need to! Flying high! Believing in the impossible!

Liv smiled at her cousin, and yes, it was forced, but she was glad not to be working by herself. To be honest, the blonde Gryffindor didn't know where to go with this assignment. So, having a sounding board made the most sense (without bothering Rooney and Carlton, of course). "I don't want to do anything too exclusive." Not after the disaster that had just occurred in this very lesson. She didn't want to be accused of buying into what the Prefect had been spouting. Exclusivity didn't work. Ever. "...But I'm not really into soft and cuddly, either."

Help us meet somewhere in the middle?

Flipping to a clean page, Liv began jotting things down; just so they could keep track of their own ideas. Whatever those might be.

When he brought up colors she smiled, "I think an artistic house would be cool, but I bet others have already thought of it."

"What if the fifth house was like the house that was for people that fit into everyone house, so they weren't just right for one house." What could it's name be though?

"Um, not much," Kane admitted with a chuckle when she asked if he was familiar with muggle literature. He was more of a comic book nerd himself, and he had dabbled a bit with the muggle superhero stuff - but nothing really outside of that.

"I like the idea of an artsy house, though! Maybe they really value creativity and the arts, and like to express themselves. Sort of like...a hippie house?" he said with a grin. Now THAT sounded awesome!
