She set the book down and pulled out the baby Siamese Cat of hers. Blue seemed to be reacting to the pink thing. How interesting. Of course, just like she had done with the kitten on the train, Mary cuddled the loving little thing, which was easily distracted by that. |
Ai walked into the Hufflepuff table, a house she belong to from now on. She keep take a glance into the sea of stranger face. She didn't know anyone here, but she will get acquaintance As Fast As Possible. |
A finger outstretched was not a cuddle. The mutant tilted his little head and looked up at the boy as he gave out a little noise that resembled a giggle once more. He sniffed at the hand, nuzzled it once before turning to look at the other students. All the sights and sounds were a lot to take in after the solitude of the cage but he decided he liked it. Oh? What was that? He moved toward a plate and sniffed at it but there was another empty plate too. Abandoning the first, he went to sniff at the next. Back and forth he went, unable to choose one. |
MENTIONS! also dashes of Gryffindor & Ravenclaw tables! & a little Slytherin as well Glancing at Daisy when she spoke, he wasn't so sure about writing it off so quickly as being a first year. He, after all, had lost control of Picketta as a fifth year. Creatures had minds and lives of their own, you know? "Yeah, maybe," he nodded with a small smile. Appreciating her offer to keep an eye and ear out for him. That is...until he heard the shouting coming from the Gryffindor table from a younger girl. "Or...it's hers," he mused with a small satisfied chuckle. Just glad to have found the owner so quickly. "I'll be back in a flash, yeah? Just gotta go ... well... confirm that it's hers." As for returning it...well...he reckoned he had to keep with certain protocol this evening. He himself WAS, for the record. Not a single bowtruckle on him. Stepping out of his spot on the bench, Derf of course notice the interactions between Penny and Benji. Honestly, he was just glad that she looked so comfortable around someone else. You couldn't fake a genuine smile like that, you know? Smiling at the pair, and nothing really for him to do about the Ravenclaw not being at his table - something Derf never really wanted to fuss about anyway - since he was just checking in on her, Derf paused specifically to greet the new first years who had officially joined the table while other Sortings were still going on. Holy flamming salamanders there seemed to be a lot of first years this term. It was rather exciting! Toad still very much cupped in both his hands, he grinned warmly at the first year trio. "Maxmilian. Mary. Ai. Welcome to Hufflepuff! I'm Derf, one of the prefects representing Hufflepuff and...." Oi this still felt odd to say aloud. "Head Boy. Looking forward to getting to know you later, yeah? And you'll be sticking to me after the feast ends to lead you to the common room and dormitories. Just..gotta go return a toad...right now...." And he had hoped that Albert would make his appearance soon too. It just wasn't a start of term feast without that jovial specter. But before he could totally leave the table, he spotted Matthew with what looked like a pygmy puff upon quick glance. "Um...sorry, mate. But pets and familiars aren't allowed at the feast....you're gonna need to put that back in the common room or give it to Professor Wayland right..." And that sixth year could mull over which option while this seventh year went to deliver back a toad to the Gryffindor table. Which meant that his gaze was pulled over towards the other tables as he stepped away from the Hufflepuff one...and what in Scamander's suitcase was the fuss over at the Ravenclaw table? His eyes tries to seek out Chloe to see if she was okay and handling it all fine...but he reckoned that she did have a handle on whatever it was and he need not worry. Gryffindor's being robust and their table and, well, Zoryn being Zoryn did not surprise him. It wouldn't be Hogwarts if Gryffindors were quiet - which had contributed to the discomfort that hat been last term. He did pause again, however to glance over at the Slytherin table...and specifically its newest female prefect - and their seemed to be some sort of ruckus going on over there as well. Ironically...it all put him at ease. It actually felt like Hogwarts again and that placed a smile on his face as he stepped away from the table proper and over to the Gryffindor one. |
rearranging slightly A HUFFLEPUFF. H U F F L E P U F F HUFFLEPUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFF. Remember his bad mood from before the sorting? LONG GONE. What is a bad mood? Ronan Emery Wallace sure couldn't remember as he almost FLEW to the Hufflepuff table, smile so big it shone like the candles floating above them. "HEL- OUF!" Ronan started to greet the table, but he'd run right into the edge and OUCH, it hurt it hurt it hurt ow ow ow. BUT HE WAS A HUFFLEPUFF. Recovering quickly, and massaging his poor tummy, still muddy faced Ronan jumped in the air a couple times. "HI! I'm RONAN!" Good to meet you, Hufflepuff table. GOOD TO MEET YOU INDEED. The eleven year old waved BRIGHTLY at Mary, who looked a little happier than he'd seen her on the train and started to walk his way down the length of the house table, determined to say hello to EVERYONE sir yes sir. Passing by the boy from summer (Maxie), Ronan beamed at him too. They're gonna be sleeping in the same place now right?? He couldn't stay mad at him forever! Ronan had arrived just in time to hear some older guy introducing himself, and immediately sat at a random spot at the table to listen to him. Head boy! Wooowwwwwww. That's neat. How come Noel hadn't been head boy? He'll have to ask him in his letter home. WHEN HE TELLS MUM AND DAD THAT HE'S A HUFFLEPUFF. "But we just came from the boats, Mr. Head Boy! I got Biscuit sir, AND Cracker!" Ronan produced the two very tired looking rats from his pockets, holding them up. He'd fed them, of course, but it had been a long day. But ooooooh, what was that pink thing?! And there was another girl with a badge (Daisy)! And ANOTHER girl with a badge (Bel)! Lots of people with yellow badges!!!! "HI! I'm Ronan!!!" You know, in case they hadn't caught that yet. About to settle into conversation with the table, the teacher sat right in the middle of the teacher table stood up and everyone went quiet so Ronan went quiet too. ... Same shoes? He looked down at his own shoes, but he couldn't see the Headmaster's. Because that teacher was the headmaster. Ronan decided he liked him immediately, and vowed to never go into the forbidden forest, because it was forbidden! |
The Headmaster Has Spoken! Mary looked around, observing the flurry of activity that was this table. She saw a particularly enthusiastic, but not hyper, boy who called himself Derf. He introduced himself as the head boy and ran off to return a frog before she could speak. Not that she was going to. Continuing to look around, Mary saw Ronan being sorted. She was sure he would be a Gryffindor or Slytherin. She watched his sorting, but to her dismay, the hat shouted Hufflepuff. He made his way to the table, and she quickly waved back, nothing to convey too much friendship. She was about to go back to her book when the headmaster began the speech. Within a minute, there was lavish food in front of her. Mary normally stayed healthy in her choices, wanting to be fit for soccer, but she wasn't going to be playing travel soccer at Hogwarts, so she ate carelessly, just for this one night. She tried to try at least a tiny bit of everything. It was all so good! |
who likes pumpkin juice? we all do, don't we? "BEL!" Merlin, he really should tone it down some. Why had Zoryn thought HE was the perfect person for this anyway? He was not smooth enough for this. He couldn't even FLIRT, let alone be casual about anything in his life. Nor was he good at improvising. But as much as he had tried to come up with a plan, he just hadn't been able to take all the variables into account, what with people having free will and all. There was just no way to predict any of this so he had decided that improvising was his best shot. So here he was, yelling his friend's name. Well done, Tamesis. "Hey, sorry. Hi." He added a grin as he moved to stand next to the Quidditch Captain. "I missed you." HELLO. Just visiting a friend at her house table. "Oh, you have those delicious rolls!" Which they tooootally did not have at their own table you know. Nope. "I'll take some!" Wow, he was so absolutely bad at this but he was down the rabbit hole now so there was no way to go back. As he leaaaaaaned over, he casually - just as casually as he had done at his own table - dumped the love-at-first-sight potion into the pumpkin juice before grabbing a whole bunch of rolls. "Thanks!" He was going to leave now. "I'll talk to you later!" And because it wasn't weird enough he gave Bel a kiss on the top of her head before QUICKLY making his way back over to his own table, about ten rolls in his arms. What a successful mission. |
The start of another year... She glanced around the great hall, looking after her younger siblings at their house tables... and here she was still alone... The only one still that made it to her father's former house. But at least this year she wouldn't serve as an honorary tour guide for three anxious first years like the previous with the twins and her younger sister. She took a seat and glanced around at the other students. Every term she promised herself she'd make more friends... and every term she ended up letting her shyness get the better of her and ran in the other direction of anyone who tried to interact with her. Maybe this would finally be her year to not focus on all the other kids and try to focus on her own life... Because she really didn't want to graduate without any real memories of fun times outside of classes. |
this is fine.gif SPOILER!!: Matthew, pre mutant and pre love potion "Bonza!" Of course Bel was enthusiastic to hear Matthew was a fellow 6th year. She was always keen to make new mates after all, and he seemed nice already. When he asked if shed been at Hogwarts the whole time she shook her head. "Nah I transferred in my second year. My family moved here from 'stralia." Not that it was obvious from her incredibly broad Australian accent or anything."Made loads of mates real quick - you will too I bet!" SPOILER!!: Maxie "Its nice to meet ya! My boyfriend's name is Max too, so I won't forget it." She gave him a relaxed sort of smile. Bel had clapped and applauded for the next few kiddos who got sorted too (Ai and Ronan) and was about to welcome them to the table when a bunch of things seemed to happen at once. First Derf arrived - Bel grinned at him, his muddy self, and the toad that he had with him, and then there was a little pink creature suddenly - Bel had never seen one of THOSE before, but honestly how cute was that? She watched Matthew interact with it, with great curiosity. Aaaaand then the speech happened. The new headmaster. He seemed pretty chill, that was good. Bel listened, but she was honestly more focused on the cute lil creature but... --- yay the feast! The foooood! It had appeaaaared! She filled her plate with mostly healthy stuff, but plenty of it. Yep time to dig in. Time to dig in while also watching the lil creature. Who did it belong to? Someone's pet? And THEN... a fly by Cam! SPOILER!!: Cam! He missed her? It hadn't been that long since they'd hung out and-- okay. Rolls. Sure. By all means. He was a growing boy, she guessed? A growing boy who didn't even give her a chance to SPEAK but she didn't mind the affectionate lil' head kiss from her BFF after all. "Sure... talk... later." Bel managed, watching his retreating back in puzzlement. What had that been all about? Anyway... she was thirsty now. She filled her glass up....... with water. Of course water. Bel didn't drink pumpkin juice after all .... right? And oh, Liam was looking over at her! Bel waved enthusiastically at her other BFF. And also, yk, at her boyfriend. Who was..... touching Liam's hair? Well that was understandable. Liam DID have good hair. So general waving over at them. And big smiles. |
ahh, love the smell of chaos during a feast Ooooooooh FOOD. Ronan's stomach made a loud noise of protest and he suddenly realised how much he was starving. Pumpkin pasties and cauldron cakes were great but there's nothing quite like a good chicken leg. And POTATOES. Yum!! Ronan piled food onto his plate, digging into the potatoes without a care in the world, when he realised there was JUICE too!!! He knew you weren't supposed to drink lots of juice during a meal, Mum always said so, but Mum's not here so Ronan could drink allllll the juice he wanted to! Pouring himself a cup filled to the brim, he shot grins at everyone around the table and downed his entire cup in one go. Ahhhhhhhhh. So refreshing. Smacking his lips, Ronan rubbed at his itchy nose and opened his eyes moments later, smiling at the boy from summer - Max, it was Max - as if to say 'isn't this so great'?? Then....... oh. Oh. OH OH OH. Max is so BEAUTIFUL, dear merlin. Ronan wanted to HUG HIM SO MUCH. And be near him and touch him and laugh with him and best the bestest of best friends EVER AND EVER but like MORE THAN EVEN THAT with him wooowwww HE'S NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE EVER IN HIS LIFE "HI YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL I'M COMING TO SIT WITH YOU!!" Falling over himself to get to his feet quickly, Ronan dashed around the table and moved to sit next to the beautiful, wonderful, amazing, cool, brilliant, smart, funny boy from summer. MAX. "Have you ever been in love???" the confused but very much ENAMORED eleven year old grinned widely at Max, leaning in very close. "My books say love happens only when you're like... WAY older...... but I....... I think I'm in love with you, Max!!!!!!" THIS IS STRANGE??? BUT WOWOW HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. |
Maxie nodded, unable to think of a single response to the older girl's words. What did you say when someone brought up you had the same name as their significant other without it becoming awkward? Maxie obviously didn't have the answer to that question. He wriggled in his seat, and nodded again. "T-Thanks. I-I.. t-think." Right, that went absolutely awful. So much was happening, almost too much and Maxie kept his head down for all of it. It was in his best interest, he sincerely believed, at least until after food. ............ The Headmaster had spoken, and though the young boy wasn't exactly a fan of adults he didn't know he had to admit there was something warm in the way he'd spoken. Maxie began to clap after the speech ended, but almost immediately stopped- Food- FOOD. His stomach let out a gurgle of approval. Potatoes? Potatoes. Steak? Steak. Bread? Bread. Stuffing? Stuffing. Pumpkin juice? Yes, please! He'd never been so thirsty in his whole life. Maxie brought the goblet to his lips and was about to take a nice long sip when Ronan- right, that was his name.- started shouting at him. "W-Ww-what?" Maxie spluttered out, nearly dropping his drink in his panicked-surprise. He tried to crack a smile, assuming it was one of the younger boy's over-exuberant antics, but then he was quite suddenly sitting beside him and talking about....?? love? being in love? "W-we don't even... I-I-don't even k-know you." Maxie's head was racing as well as that panicked bird he called a heart. This wasn't just weird- it was insane and if Ronan didn't quiet down everyone and their mums would be staring at them. Maxie swallowed, his throat dryer than before. He sipped his juice, and tried to think of a way to a) get out of here and b)How To Let The Whole Wide World know he loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. He loved Ronan. Cheeks aflush, Maxie threw aside his juice in a hurry and hugged Ronan like the world was ending and only their embrace could solve it. "'I'm in love, I'm in love- and I don't care who knows it!!!!" Maxie shouted, squeezing Ronan as he nuzzled his face into the other boy's warm - and very nice smelling!! - neck. |
I forgot the crazy that goes down at feasts! SPOILER!!: Mary! Quote:
The Pink Thing began to move from plate to plate and Matthew retracted his hand and placed it on the table beside his plate. He watched as The Pink Thing continued to move around. What is The Pink Thing doing? He mused to himself. Quote:
Quote:
Bel's encouragement with finding friends was welcomed. Matthew had been slightly worried about it in the weeks leading up to coming to Hogwarts. He only knew a small handful of people who went to school here, and he had yet to see any of them. |
Ronan wondered how he had MISSED Max's beautiful face during the summer because W O W. Like, he'd SEEN it so why hadn't he realised it was SO PERFECT?? The most perfect face with the most brilliant smile, Ronan melted just sitting next to Max WhateverLastName. "Yeah you do, we met in the summer, with the rock remember?? Best day of my liiiiife," Ronan sing-songed, his smile beatific. MAX MAX MAX MAX. Oh but then the most WONDERFUL thing happened. Max HUGGED HIM. HIM!! YES! Ronan wrapped his arms around the other boy and HUGGED HIM RIGHT BACK, squeezing like he would his siblings but different because he LOVED Max but it was a different type of love than he felt for his family. He wanted... he.. ohhhhhhhhhhh. Ronan couldn't even think, because Max's face was at his neck and it made Ronan VERY HAPPY. Very. VERY VERY. "Do you want to get married???????????" BE WITH HIM! TOGETHER, FOREVERRRR. |
this was all so.... so sudden. Maxie's heart was lighter than air, his chest was full and warm and everything suddenly felt so very right for fate had led him here. Fate's unknowable and loving hands had worked tirelessly to bring Maxie Anderson-Belfort face to face with his one true love- and to think he'd believed this night cursed only a few moments ago! what a dummy! what a loser! Everything made sense now. He was whole and warm and Ronan's arms was the comfiest place in the whole wide wizarding world. "I-I remember- Y-your rock- I s-should have kept it for us." It was lost forever now, the sole witness to the time their eyes had first met- guilt welled up in him, but only for a second- he was much too much in love to feel anything but said love. Maxie pulled back, his cheeks a vibrant purple-pink. "Y-y-You- W-what?" Eloquent as ever, the boy absolutely beamed at his house-mate. MARRIAGE??? What would his mother say? His father? Barton? Roza? Finley (that git)? NiKO? He had to tell Niko, he had to tell everyone. "But w-we're underage? W-we'd have t-to get p-permission f-f-first." Unless they used a potion to grow up quick, but that was illegal and he didn't want to marry the love of his life illegally. MARRIED. HUSBAND AND HUSBAND. Was he ready for marriage? was anyone ever ready for anything? It didn't matter nothing matter but Ronan's beautiful smile and sweet eyes. |
Max smelled soooooo nice. Ronan felt a little embarrassed that he was so icky with mud, but Max LOVED HIM STILL so it was all alright! He could stay here in Max's arms forever and ever and ever, it was the comfiest place and he felt like he'd NEVER felt before, this weird mixture of giddiness and calm and oh, he HAD to marry him. Is this what Noel always talked about in his songs??? Because he understood it now, yes he did!! He'd WRITE to him tonight and tell him allllll about the love of his life and how mum and dad will LOVE Max because HE loves him and it'll be the best life ever!! "No, that's okay, we can have more rocks........" Such a silly thing to worry about, because they had each other and that's what matters!! Then Max spoke next and Ronan smiled, entirely lovesick, and remembered only a few moments after that he needed to respond. OH! "I have the best brother in the world, he'll help us get married!!" Ronan was sure of it. Max's voice calmed him, settled him, made him feel like nothing in the world could ever ever ever go wrong because he was HERE and they were going to get married and live together and just be close all the time!!!!!!!! "ILOVEYOU!!" Just in case he forgot. HE MUSTN'T FORGET, it's VERY IMPORTANT. |
Oops, she drank the juice... Text Cut: Daisy See, her dormmate got it. "Nope, not unless they need to...." she replied with a smile. Man, that had been a lot of trouble, but it had been worth it if it had made the dictator and his cronies' lives even half the hell they had made theirs. Text Cut: Bel "They do add a certain variety to life." Afterall, not everyone in the world needed to be loud. That might get annoying after awhile. Not that she was calling herself annoying or anything. Text Cut: Penny Now, what exactly had she done to deserve that look? She had simply sat down and greeted everyone. Maybe the girl simply didn't get her joke? Or understand that she had been joking? Either way, Archer sent her an exaggerated wriggle of her fingers as a wave. It was then that she noticed the cute little pink creature that was rooming around the table and gave it a little pat on its head with an "Aw!". Text Cut: Derf "Hey, Derf!" Nope, no toad loss here. She personally wasn't much of a toad person. Luckily, a Gryffindor started calling about a missing toad about that time and Derf went to take it over there. It was about that time that Archer had an idea. "Hey, we should totally name that little pink creature Babou!" she exclaimed loudly. Everyone knew what she talking about, right? After all, who could miss a cute little creature running around on the table? She poured herself some of as-yet-unknown-to-her doctored pumpkin juice and took a sip while looking for little Babou. "Hey, where'd the little guy-" Text Cut: Matthew It was about that time that Archer found the little guy. But that wasn't ALL she found. Her now potion-addled mind saw the most handsome guy ever. She leaped over the table with all the agility her years as a chaser had afforded her into the guy's lap with a "Hiya, Matthew!" before giving him a kiss on the lips that most definitely WASN'T the kiss of life. |
It felt niice to get attention from the student’s around him. He LOVED attention. The little pink furred mutant kept wandering over the plates, sniffing and sniffing curiously around as he went up and down the yellow table making little giggley like noises. By the time he made it back in front of the first boy again for a new chance of a nuzzling cuddle the boy wasn’t alone. he had a girl in his lap. With it’s big curious eyes the mutant stared at the boy for a moment or two before it dissapeared. |

Max didn't even notice the mud. Or the smell of wet rat. Love eclipsed any and all unpleasing aspects of Ronan Wallace. Did he have a middle name? Two middle names? Max would ask him that latter, you know - after they figured put the marriage stuff. The Marriage Stuff. They were getting married. They were in love. The world of hogwarts had dissolved utterly and entirely to reveal a world of possibilities and pink-colored warmth. "I love you." Maxie replied, his eyes tearing up as Ronan so sweetly brushed away his worry and guilt with just a few perfect words. Tomorrow he would go out to the grounds, he'd find the most perfect, beautiful rock and present it to his fiancé on a velvet pillow like a prince presenting a glass slipper. "I love you." Maxie said again, holding Ronan's face in his hands. Precious face. Precious nose. HIS SPARKLING EYES. His hair reminded Max of a shaggy dog- which made sense because Ronan was twice as cute as any shaggy dog. "My brother'll come too. If he isn't busy hiding from his ex-wife." Maxie doubted Damien wouldn't be. Not everyone, it seemed, could be as lucky in love as he and Ronan were. "Are you hungry? Do you want dessert? I heard Hogwarts dessert is the best" He was so in love his stutter had vanished. "I LOVE YOU TOO. I LOVE YOU." HE LOVED RONAN. |
They were in love. They were in love. This had to be a potion. Had to. Mary pushed her drink away, not wanting to be part of anything. Suddenly she realized that they wanted to get married. Married!! She got up and found an empty spot on the other end of the table, away from Ronan and whoever the other guy was. She had even left her plate there, wanting nothing to do with it, so she grabbed some new food on this other end of the table. |

Matthew blinked a couple of times, unable to even contemplate the fact he had just been kissed for the first time, as he tried to remember if he knew this girl. She obviously was acting like she knew him, she even called him by name! "Uh, Mary isn't sitting there." Matthew said pointing to the now vacant seat where Mary had been sitting beside him. He carefully tried to nudge her towards the seat. "Sit over there." Matthew added, firmly. Quote:

Quote:
Wait. This seat was still beside him. So maybe he just liked a more private setting for his PDA? So there was hope. The smile returned to her face at this realization. She was so potion-addled that she didn't even notice the return of Babou. All her attention was still on Matthew. "Soooo later then?" she asked, her eyes fluttering flirtatiously. As for how she knew his name without him knowing hers, well she HAD been sitting near Bel and she did listen....sometimes. |
