Ugh. The prospect of growing up was scary. But as Sam spoke Dora slowed down. "My Mum got 8 OWLs. All passing. O's and E's. I have to do better. Taking time from studying is not really in my best interest right now. When you hit OWL year you'll understand." Not suggesting that the other girl didn't comprehend the importance... Just maybe it didn't seem like a big deal just yet. "Anyway..." She was officially feeling awkward for no apparent reason. Meh. |

"EGYPT?! That's awesome, man! Where in Egypt are you from? Like...the part with the pyramids?" Kane asked, hoping once again he wasn't being too ignorant asking these questions. That was pretty much the extent of what he knew about Egypt - there were pyramids, the sphinx, and it was a desert. Mostly. He couldn't help it, though! THAT WAS SO COOL! He wondered if he lived somewhere where he could like, SEE the sphinx from his bedroom window and stuff. "Oh, yeah...I transferred here because my dad got a job in the Ministry here as an ambassador or something. My older brother came over too," he explained. "I only went to Ilvermorny one year, though, so it's not that big of a change," he added. Unless his dad made them move AGAIN, this was pretty much going to still be HIS school, not Ilvermorny. |

He BEAMED at the enthusiasm from the other boy, and almost started wiggling there where he was perched because it was good to talk about something he knew about AND have other people interested in it, and maybe he did wriggle and fidget just a bit, but only a bit, and not enough to fall off or anything. "Egypt!" Abey repeated, that toothy grin of his on show. "I live in Alexandria which is right up at the top of Egypt, actually, by the sea. There's no pyramids there, but there is a lot of other historical things too apparently." Something about a lighthouse maybe. Abey had seen it plenty of times, but he had always been more fascinated by the things in the capital because that was the more famous things that everyone else seemed to know about, and he liked to know what other people knew about, because not knowing what other people knew made him feel very not-smart. "I've been to Cairo to see the pyramids lots of times though. And I'm going to be a Curse-Breaker when I'm older so I'm probably going to see them a million more times too." Okay, so the Curse-Breaking thing was more of a pipe dream than an actual plan actually, because Abey still hadn't realised quite how much work was required, and especially work in subjects that he was not very good at at all. But a boy could DREAM. "Ohhhhhh... so you're a second year?" Okay, so he was actually talking to a boy older than he realised. "That's cool! You get to compare schools and everything. Hogwarts is the first school I've been too ever ever ever. I almost had to go to Oog-... ug-... uaga-......... the school in Africa, but I actually got accepted here too and I chose here." Abey paused for a moment, and considered something. "Do you like Hogwarts as much as... as... Il-verr-more-knee?" |
Quote:
"A curse breaker? What do they do?" Kane asked. They must not have a bunch of those in America. If he had to guess...it sounded like a tomb raider sort of thing. There weren't many...well, ANY...old tombs in America, really. Being such a young country and all. "I love it! I mean, Ilvermorny is cool and all and I really liked my old house, Pukwudgie, but Hogwarts is...cozier than Ilvermorny, if I had to describe it in one word," he explained with a grin, legs swinging back and forth over the edge as he spoke. |

And it was cold. Probably. So no thank you very much actually. "Oh, they..." Uhhhh... um. Well. "Break curses, I think. It's things to do with runes. My Jadd-... my grandfather was one. That's why I want to be one." That all sort of hurt a little bit to say out loud actually, even though it had been way over a year since Jaddi had died. "I think runes can make curses so the people go in and break them... somehow." Hmmmm. This Il-verr-more-knee sounded interesting, but maybe that was actually because Abey was a little bit curious about what it would be like to go to another school. NOT enough to actually go to one, Merlin no, but enough to think about it. "Are you going to stay at Hogwarts forever now? I think I am actually. Forever until I graduate, because by the time my older cousins graduate I'll have younger cousins here too." Sooooo Abey would ALWAYS have that security blanket here, which made him so so so so so happy. |
Eva Playground. Why did this school have a playground? It made no sense to Viktor. He did come here last year so why not see what's here now. Though at least he was not alone in this.Was that seriously a slide. Weren't most of the kids here too big for that unless it was magically enhanced or something. Probably. So the ultimate question was what could he even do here that would not look awkward for a man his age to be doing Serious Question. |

Spotting a very familiar figure standing several feet away observing the playground as she did, Laurel smiled to herself and headed over to him. "Were you a sand castle builder or a slides boy in your youth Viktor?" |
Quote:
He turned to greet Laurel with a smile and nod. Sand castles or slide. Well, he was neither. "I like the monkey bars and walking on top of them. Dangerous but fun. What brings you down here Laurel?" Did she want to make a sandcastle or something? |
Quote:
Throwing a glance to the monkey bars she shook her head. "I never liked the monkey bars, when I was on them it always felt like I was going to fall down." Not a very nice feeling. "I actually came out here to make a sand castle to try to make sense of some of my latest predictions. You are welcome to join me if you want?" And with that Laurel walked over to the sand box. |
Quote:
"Ooo, did i miss a prediction. I'll join if you tell me." He started walking with her over to the sandbox. "So magical sandcastle or doing this the old fashion way?" |
Quote:
Looking sideways at Viktor she nodded as they walked next to each other over to the sandbox "Sort off. I make predictions every day, you know that, but there is one prediction that bugs me. If i tell you it, will you promise not to laugh?" Entering the sandbox Laurel sat down, probably unladylike on the sand and beamed up at Viktor. "Doing it the old fashion way. I want to feel the sand under my fingers. It's soothing." |
Daisy :3 Genny was sitting on the swing idly nudging the ground with her foot. She wasn't here to play per se, but considering recent events she felt like she needed to cling to this side of her for a few more months. Except she wasn't very enthusiastic about it, she had a pensive look on her face and her mind roaming far far away. |

Amazing mood was amazing! And to make sure his streak was still going strong the young Slytherin marked it down on his calendar with a green check mark. So far, the board has more green than red X's. It's an amazing sight considering his summer and majority - if not all - of the first term consisted of red. Red. Red. Red. Red. Taking advantage of a bit of free time he ran down to the grounds. There was too much energy stored in his body and he just needed to let it out. Arriving at the playground he went up the steps and down the slide. At the bottom, he glanced around, green eyes landing on the empty swing. He ran there, too. Instead of sitting on it like a proper person would, like the witch there had, Cornelius jumped, his feet landing swiftly on the swing seat. His body wobbled dangerously, fighting for balance. "Woah--!" An expletive followed his exclamation. With the help of his hands gripping onto the chains tightly, Cornelius managed to keep upright. What a rush. |
Quote:
"Fine no laughing from me. Do Tell" He will try his hardest not to but well he was not the best at keeping his word. |
for Noelle/Chase Kimi was glad he had stopped off by the playground because he wanted to have fun and he sat on a swing and sighed |
Quote:
The Gryffindor watched bemused, a small smile decorating her mouth because hell yeah that was something she would enjoy doing had she not been in one of those 'moods'. "Y'know, it would've been a lot more fun if we could swing it all the way around the pole." She interjected, hinting to a circular movement instead of this half-nailed rush. "Buuuut I don't think anyone would get away with it." Even with the cushioning charms, it needed ridiculous speed to achieve, might as well just hop on a broomstick and fly. |
Quote:
Instead, Noelle ventured to the playground and noted that someone was already there. She gave Kimi a smile. "[b]hey Kimi. How are you/{/b]" |

"I think I am gonna stay here. At least, it sounds like the family is. Although at this point if they moved AGAIN, I think I'd just follow Brent wherever he goes. He's my older brother. Slytherin," he told him. "It's not so bad moving places if you know someone, right?" he asked with a smile. He thought the boy was thinking along the same lines since he mentioned his cousins and all... |
Quote:
How it connected to their hogwarts life she did not know yet. Laurel just knew that reappering predictions had a significance. She just had to figure out what. |
Quote:
Well, talk about vague. Did that even count as a prediction? Though if it keeps coming up it has to mean something. Divination was not his strong suit so yeah. "That sounds like something you would hear in a movie before the villain or monster invades. Still pretty vague, though" Viktor stepped into the sandbox and well he did not really want to sit down in what he was wearing. |
Quote:
Laurel knew Viktor had vowed not to but it warmed that he didn't and actually tried to take the prediction seriously. She knew that it wasn't his field at all even if Runes and Divination were connected in some ways. Viktor tried to interpret the prediction best he could associating it with movies. In response Laurel murmured. "Most predictions are pretty vague until they come true or don't." She hoped they weren't part of a movie. With the base of her sand castle done, Lauel aimed to start with a tower as Viktor joined her in the sandbox and stood hovering in front of her. "Are you going to sit down and help or are you going to stand and just watch me?" |
Quote:
"Keeping it vague keeps the person who predicted it safe as well. Lovely system that is" And look at her just get right down into the sand and immediately start making a sandcastle for merlin sake. No worries about her clothes or getting dirty or anything. "Standing over you is pretty fun. Feels like I'm supervising. But I need a closer look." And with that Viktor took out his wand and waved in at his clothes hoping no sand would get on them. "You're the boss right now. Tell me what you want me to do" |
Before the TL where students are to be escorted Quote:
"Im just nervous. All the crazy things that's been going on with that portal." She mentioned.. surely Kimi knew about it. |
Quote:
The boy had started to swing himself standing up. Gaining momentum and only stopping briefly at the suggestion that entered his ear and did not exit the other. Those were the type of suggestions that tended to stay in the Slytherin's head. The Green eyes looked up before falling on the instigator. Cornelius smirked. "Has anyone even attempted to in the first place?" he responded. His mind working, the gears turning and twisting. "I bet there's a charm that can help with that. We could do it." He WANTED to do it now. Why hadn't he thought of that before? |
