Default The Front Gate


Flanked by giant statues of winged boars on either side, the Front Gate is the main entrance in and out of the Hogwarts Grounds. Fashioned long ago out of the strongest iron, anyone wishing to enter or exit must do so through this passage. The gate remains closed and locked at all times, the sole exception being Hogsmeade weekends. Faculty members are the only ones who can undo the enchantments that surround this barrier, so don’t even think about trying to sneak out for a butterbeer.

Vinteren, Erik Vinteren

It was still nice enough around Scotland this time of year that Erik thought he might take a stroll through the grounds around dinnertime. The duties of being both a professor and a staff member of sorts called for his knowing the layout of the school property, did it not?

He wandered out toward the front gate, just...looking around as he walked, his hands tucked lightly into the pocket of his trousers. He was not looking for anything in particular. He was just...looking in general. Observing. Watching. Absorbing sunlight to keep his tan.

Humdedum.

Chocolate frog in hand, candy bag slung over her shoulder, she was READY to walk the grounds! She'd actually been walking around for a bit, that's how she got to the front g--

hkdfvdfgfdfbfu!!!

"Mr. Vinteren!!!!!!!" EEEeeeeeepppp!!!!!

He was THERE, right therrrreeeee. Guess she didn't have to stop by his office afterall? GOOD! It wasn't exactly close to Gryffindor Tower in the first place and she didn't fancy going up and down the stairs too often. "HAI!!!!" She BEAMED up at him after running almost like a maniac making her way over to him. "Nice running into you here!"

Erik had just reached out a hand to inspect one of the winged boar statues when he heard his name. Not just his name, but his name being shouted as though someone were drowning in a pool of excitement and drool and he was the only one capable of saving them.

He dropped his hand, his wand at the ready, and turned around to find the source of the shout. Oh. Good Odin, it was that Gryffindor girl! And she was neither drowning nor drooling. Good. Erik liked the Gryffindors. They were easy.....to converse vith, yes, that was it.

"Alexa Cambridge," he acknowledged her with a little smile. "You've gotten taller since vhe last time I saw you." Children had a tendency to do that, he supposed.

Dylan needed fresh air...considering all the foul smells and stuff that seemed to surround him these days within the castle. It was around dinnertime, the sun still peeking over the trees. The Slytherin was content to just wander...and enjoy solitude...

...until someone near the front gate caught his attention.

It wasn't as if Professor Vinteren was doing anything suspicious. Decidedly not. He was just standing there, really...but Dylan remained suspicious of him. Ever since the mess with this guy and Selina Skylar...The Slytherin Captain just couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about him...He was too...sneaky.

...too Slytherin-equs.

Not wanting to be seen, Dylan quickly hid behind a nearby statue, not being able to help himself as he watched the older man.

STARE.

.......ALEXA?!

UGH.

UGGGGGGGGGGH.

How was he to observe with this guy's fangirls popping up? HOW?!

The Slytherin remained hidden, though...now watching Alexa AND the Professor.

If she weren't so preoccupied with the fact that he was STANDING RIGHT THERE she might have notice him drawing his wand...this would have been cool to her, and she might have even asked if he could teach her a hex or three...or ten...really, what did numbers matter?

OOOOHHHH and there was a smile too!!! This got her grinning widely. "I have! Vivi says she suspects it's because I've been eating real food," as if candy wasn't real food, pffft, "but if that's the case I might just stick this way all term--do you have to eat that stuff that comes from the kitchen too??" She had been wondering about that. Did the Professors have to suffer through the same thing? For some obvious reason she couldn't see the Headmistress even attempting to swallow the stuff.

Also.

"Were you in the middle of something? Am I interrupting? Would it have been something completely totally and utterly epic like something exploding because you know you still could, just saying." And she might have been rambling but come oooon, he was right THERE.

Unaware that he was being, or had been, followed to the front gate by someone other than Alexa Cambridge, Erik continued conversing with the girl. His wand was still in his hand, simply because he hadn't had a chance to put it away yet, and partially because he didn't know if he would be able to keep up with the long stream of words coming out of that girl's mouth and do something else at the same time. Even if the something else was a task as simple as putting away his wand.

He blinked. "Did you eat fake food previously?" he wondered firstly. Vivi...that wasn't the Board's president's daughter Genevieve, was it by chance? Interesting if it were. Just interesting. "I do haff to eat vhe food from vhe kitchens," he answered after a beat. "But I can also sometimes leave vhe grounds." He gestured behind him toward the front gate. And that was what he did, for most meal times. He left. Or asked Pippa to make him food.

Was he in the middle of something? "Noo...." Erik answered that question and tried to keep his head on straight for the others. "I er, hadn't planned on exploding anything, but now vhat you mention it..." His wand could use a little exercise, shall we say.

Erik lifted his wand lightly, lazily aiming it toward a nearby statue the very same statue one Slytherin captain might have been behind, coincidentally, and nonverbally set off a jet of bright blue light. The light collided with the statue like a laser and caused it to blast apart instantly.

Heh. Explosions.

The Slytherin strained to catch every word being uttered between the two. There still might have been something to gain from this outing...In fact, so he could move a bit closer and actually see what the two were doing...instead of just listening, Dylan withdrew his wand, clearing his mind.

Disillusiona.

He may or may not have used the Disillusionment Charm...several times over the course of the summer. There were a lot of things that needed hiding from the muggles in America...and Dylan hadn't realized it until being able to perform magic outside of school. Thank you, Professor Bellaire.

Perhaps he'd send her a gift. Maybe.

Tapping his wand to the top of his head, the Captain focused all his energy on the spell and making it work. He imagined himself vanishing, the magic moving against his skin and shielding him completely from sight. "Disillusiona!"

Once it'd taken effect, he smirked, moving to turn...

CRACK! BANG!

Suddenly the statue he'd been hiding behind...burst into a million pieces...parts of it knocking violently against his body. It propelled the Slytherin backward...and while he soared through the air, all Dylan could think about was the possibility of dust and debris giving him away. So, scourgify happened quickly...and silently.

He landed with a thud and grimaced, his arm knocking back against the ground. Pain didn't bother him, though...So, he slowly got to his feet...carefully eying the Professor and Alexa more. Had he known that Dylan was there? Had that been intentional?

Keeping eyes on the two, he started slinking closer...

Fake food? That got her giggling.

"Nah, I've just had a steady diet of candy with a 'real' meal popping in and out. Candy can be just as filling you know, chocolate frogs--I can have those all day every day. Cauldron cakes are good too--Oh oh oh!!! Cupcakes, I took some from the kitchens before heading to the feast, those were good," And probably meant for someone else seeing as they were neatly set out on a tray...eh, "AND ice-cream. I think I might live on ice-cream here for a while too." It was good stuff, OKAY??

"That's nice for you, do you think you could get me some decent food the next time you're out? I can give you the money in advance or something." Real food would have been appreciated.

She was about to be disappointed--but only a little because Mr. Vinteren was NOT a typically disappointing man, when he admitted he wasn't up to much. Her face lifted though, at the exact moment his wand did.

This was the part were she didn't blink or she'd miss out.

O___O

"COOOOOL!!!!" That. Was. EPIC. It went BOOM!! Like, did NO ONE else SEEEE that?!?!?!? "What spell was that?? Can it make bigger things explode too--does it work on people--" ahem, forget she asked that, "Is it hard to learn????"

Fake food, yes, hah, he could be funny. Erik indulged the girl in a bit of a smirk. He wondered how she wasn't diabetic yet with what sounded like a steady stream of sugar pulsing through her veins 24/7. But oh, she at ice cream too? Did she now...he was not surprised. "Vhe ice cream here does look delicious." That was all.

Er, how to answer the question about bringing food back into the castle..."I don't vhink vhe Headmistress would like my doing vhat, Alexa," Erik shifted his weight from one foot to the other. Not to mention that he wasn't a person who took orders well, nor who delivered things like an owl. So no. "Sorry, vhere's alvays Hogsmeade weekends." Wait til then, kid. And then stock up. That was his advice.

Erik's piercing blue eyes took to studying the area he had just exploded then, as though he suspected something was there...or something was off....but not seeing anything, he shrugged and turned back to Alexa. He'd leave the pieces to the groundskeeper to pick up. The man got paid to do so.

"That vas a variation of expulso," he answered patiently. Patiently because she thought he was cool. Which he was. "It can make bigger things explode, and...yes, even people..." Well that was the truth. "Not vat I recommend doing so, Alexa." No, confrigo seemed to work better on people. Heh heh.

Was it hard to learn? Erik stowed his wand away finally and shrugged. He'd never had trouble learning the curse, but not everyone was as talented as him. "It takes some practice, focus, and drive, but so does every spell." So in other words, did she have what it took? He studied the girl intently. "Vhy, do you vant to learn it?"

As Dylan crept closer, he caught the end of what was being said and gave an astonished look. The older man was offering to teach Alexa Cambridge what?! Crouching down, the Slytherin's astonishment quickly turned to a rather nasty sneer.

Did he not know this girl?!

...but his suspicious mind was turning...and Dylan briefly wondered if the Professor DID know...and was exploiting the fact. All the questions....Was he going to try and make her do something terrible? Was he trying to turn her into his minion? WAS THERE A HIDDEN AGENDA?

Cursing himself for not bringing something to write on, he simply continued to stare...forcing his mind to work overtime. He needed to commit all this to memory...

In all actuality, there was nothing to support Dylan's suspicion...but he WAS suspicious. That meant that everything this guy did was subject to questions and inquiry.

STARE.

ALL THE STARES.

...Not to mention...the lingering look this guy had given the statue after it'd blown up. It was as if he'd expected to find something there...

He must have known. There was no other explanation.

Cursing himself for not bringing something to write on, he simply continued to stare...forcing his mind to work overtime. He needed to commit all this to memory...

In all actuality, there was nothing to support Dylan's suspicion...but he WAS suspicious. That meant that everything this guy did was subject to questions and inquiry.

STARE.

ALL THE STARES.

...Not to mention...the lingering look this guy had given the statue after it'd blown up. It was as if he'd expected to find something there...

He must have known. There was no other explanation.


"It is, it really is, I can't tell how many bowls I've had so far but they have chocolate flavour! Have you tried any of the flavours?? Do you like chocolate??" Chocolate was LIIIIFE.

Her face fell shortly after that.

What did the Headmistress have to do with this? She was probably having steak for dinner. There might have been grumbling, not much. Mostly just her accepting that she'd be eating...er...'food' until she could go to Hogsmeade. Did he see the scowl? It wasn't there on accident. "Okay, I guess I'll just feed on chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes and ice-cream 'til then." It actually didn't sound all that bad. Dessert at every meal; she couldn't complain, nor would she now that she thought it through.

Also, was it just her...or was he distracted...? "Watch'ya looking at?" She asked, turning briefly to look at the rubble, her curious gaze set. They stayed there for most of the explanation but she whipped around to face him again when something hit her.

People too!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I...yeah...I wouldn't try it on them I guess..." Probably didn't work as good on people, you know, making them only half blown up. Half blown up people were the worst. They could still tell on you--

dkfgvfdukdfg

Her eyes widened significantly. "I do actually, it's real neat! Could you teach me!!" PLEEEEASE, she wouldn't use it on anyone almost, honest!

Erik knew when he was being watched. Even if he couldn't see who was watching him, or why, or where they were watching him from, he always got the same feeling. It was as though the hairs on the back of his neck were standing at attention, trying to get his attention.

He had that same feeling now. It was almost enough to make him arm himself again.

"I haven't tried any yet," Erik shook his head. And no thanks, he wouldn't be trying the ice cream any time soon. "I do like chocolate though." Especially with fruit. Thanks for asking, kid, how.....nice of you?

He didn't quite know what to make of Miss Cambridge. She apparently didn't get along with the Headmistress, though, he could surmise that from her reaction when he mentioned Truebridge. "You could also write home, ask for a sandwich or someving," Erik suggested, hopefully keeping things light. He really had no interest in whatever was between Cambridge and Truebridge unless it benefited him in some way.

And his gaze one again turned toward the statue as a creepy little shiver went down his spine. Okay, whatever doubts he'd had were gone now. Something was definitely there, it just remained to be seen whether the something was human or not. "Hm?" Erik's wand slid into his hand as he kept his eyes focused on the spot.

He glanced toward the Gryffindor when she started getting bubbly again. He noticed how her eyes had lit up at the subject. Good. "I'll teach you," he answered with a nod. "But let me show you vhis first." Erik impatiently flicked his wand in the direction of the statue, casting a wide, searching net as he murmured, "Homenum revelio." Now to wait for the spell to show where the human was...if the invisible thing staring at him was in fact human...

Dylan wasn't getting nervous, really...but he DID feel like a sitting duck. Creepy Bond Guy, like he and others called him, obviously wasn't a stupid man...but neither was Dylan...and he'd seen the older man starting to glance around.

In all honesty, this wasn't even about stuff going on around the school...He didn't care, not even a little bit, about paying. A knut wasn't anything...and he'd earned more than that over the course of the last term. So, there was no fears of his parents having a fit and pulling him from the school.

No. THIS was about how TAKEN his best friend had been and still was with this guy...and general creepiness. Skylar was downright enamoured and had slipped up, confiding in Dylan that he'd asked her to do things. Needless to say, he hadn't forgotten that piece of information.

So. Yes. The Slytherin Captain WOULD watch him on those grounds alone.

...but then Professor Vinteren was pulling his wand. What the man was about to do, Dylan didn't know...but he didn't stick around to find out. As quickly as he could manage it, the Seeker darted off.

There would be other opportunities to stalk the man throughout the year...and he WOULD have his eyes open.

She knew there was a reason she liked this man! He liked chocolate TOOOOO!!! Only really sensible people could enjoy chocolate for everything it was and he could. Lottie was the exception because she didn't always like chocolate but she was most definitely sensible. "You really should try the ice-cream though, just saying." Good things were meant for good people and he was SUCH good people.

Oh and there he went suggesting stuff that others had suggested too. "Yeah, I could but then it wouldn't be the same because it'd take forever to arrive." Owls weren't all that fast. Not fast enough to keep her sandwich fresh.

"Like I said, I'll stick to candy and ice-cream...and food whenever my friends decide to cook something down in the kitchen. They'll feed me, they love me too much to see me starve." FACT.

And there he went being completely distracted again. She couldn't see why though...there was nothing theeeeere. She thought to question it but really she couldn't see what might have grabbed his attention the way it did. Maybe he blew something up when he exploded the statue...? If he did, could they go look?? It might have gone splat and looked super extra cool too!!!

Eeeeeeep!!!

He was going to teach her!! "YES!!!" And now she was bouncing just a bit too much but could you blame her?? She would get to blow stuff up!!!! Oh. After he...showed her something...? She paid special, close attention as his wand went into action again. "Uh...what am I supposed to be looking for?" You know, assuming that spell did something. She could probably learn that one some other time, once she knew.

Just saying. Mhm. Erik nodded as though he was listening to the Gryffindor go on and on about her diet but really, he was absorbed by the area in front of and around the remains of the statue. He took a few steps in that direction, still waiting for his spell to reveal something, when Alexa suddenly shouted YESSS. Vot??

"It's supposed to light up vhere the human is...." he explained quietly, "if vhere is a human in the vicinity." No, apparently none were here. He frowned and continued over to the remains of the blasted statue, kicking them aside and around the grass. Rats, there really was nothing there. And he had been so sure...Erik's eyes drifted up toward the castle, where the grass was still slightly parted as though something...or someone...had just made a quick exit...

"Don't vorry about it," he turned back toward Alexa and gave her his full attention. "Now, onto expulso..." he beckoned her over with a wave of his hand.

She quieted down, realizing that the man was quite fixated on whatever it was that she clearly wasn't seeing. She wanted to see tooooo? He began moving toward the rubble and it would have made sense for her to as well seeing as she wanted to know if anything really had gone SPLAT but she didn't move immediately. There was a faint noise, like footsteps getting fainter and fainter.

...

Probably nothing since they were obviously alone but it was still kinda odd and had her wondering.

"Neat, I might need that one day." Yet another spell to add to her 'need to know' list. It kept getting bigger and bigger making it even harder to actually complete. Ah well, learning lots of spells would only make her look better. Very good for showing off and threatening purposes.

Oh right, the spell!!! The sudden sound of steps had almost made her forget! She skipped over and got her wand ready. THEY WERE GONNA MAKE STUFF EXPLODE!!!!! WOOT! "Mhm, the spell, what do I do first? Am I gonna make another statue explode like you did or are we gonna have to start small?" Questions, because she liked knowing everything as she went along.

Mhm. "It's useful," Erik added with another nod. He took a step back from the remains of the statue, so he wouldn't be too close when Alexa practised her blasting, and gave the girl a look.

All these questions. Odin, she was like a miniature Ivy. He shook his head. "First things first, Alexa, get out your wand." That was the obvious first step. "I vas thinking you could practise on these bits of statue," he pointed toward them, "but vhat might be too small of a target for you." He gave her a piercing look with those bright blue eyes of his. Was she paying attention now?

"The incantation is 'Expulso,' two syllables: ex-pulso. You'll need to think ov a strong emotion or memory as you say vhe spell." Well, it wasn't necessary, but it might help her. The stronger the emotion behind the spell, he had found, the better the results. "Othervise your blast will be more of a dud." He waited for her to grasp that before he showed her the wand movement.

Hear that? He thought it was useful. The moment he said so it became kinda like a law so she'd have to learn it too once she found some free time where she wasn't exploding things...but that would be later.

She held her wand up so he could see. "Yup! Check! Ready for blasting!" BEAM. She was sooooooo ready for this. Her eyes fell to the bits and pieces of the rubble and of course she was in full agreement with him. When she blew something up she wanted it to be spectacular, like amazing beyond words and such, awe-inspiring really. Maybe then people would take her seriously? Looking up again she met his eyes and caught the stare. "I get something bigger to blow up then?" LIKE A WHOLE NOTHER STATUE??

As he spoke she mumbled the incantation, just running it through a few times. She found it helped to do this. Ooooo and she would need a strong emotion behind it. She could do that, in fact, she already had a memory in mind that would do the job perfectly. "Okay! Got it!" Nodnodnod. Now the wand movement. She paid extra close attention. "...I think I got that too..." She said, distracted somewhat as she tried mimicking the movement. "Like this?" Or was she putting in too much wrist?

Ah, good, she had her wand. Erik couldn't help but give the girl a tiny smile too. Her enthusiasm was catching. "Perhaps," he replied cautiously. "Ve'll see how vhe practising goes first." He didn't really see why she couldn't practise on a bigger target though. Practise made perfect.

He caught her mumbling the spell and listened to see if it sounded correct. So far, so good. He watched her try the wand motion and his smile broadened. "Vat's nearly right. Good effort! I tend to flick my wrist sidevays, as though skipping a rock," he demonstrated his lazy but stylish wrist movement again and nonverbally blasted one of the statue fragments, "but you might prefer a more direct approach. If you hold your hand upright," he adjusted his own grip on his wand as a demonstration, "you'll be able to direct vhe jet of light better. At least until you get your aim down."

Erik gave her a nod to go ahead and try and took another cautious step back from the rubble. His wand remained at the ready in case the enthusiastic Gryffindor succeeded in sending some fragments his way.

Hey look, he used that word her father used when he meant yes but didn't want it to seem that obvious. So, this man was nothing like her father, didn't matter. 'Perhaps' had gathered a new meaning for itself in her eyes. It was as good as a yes. "Okie dokes!" She'd just have to be really impressive with the practice, couldn't have him thinking she was incompetent. That just wouldn't do!

Eeeeeeep!!!! Good effort! She almost got it right!!!! BEEEAAAAM. Okay, she tried focusing as he went explaining it in a bit more detail. Skipping rocks...better aim...blowing stuff up. Yup, all this was being registered in her head for when she'd try again, which wasn't that long after. "I think I have good aim, never missed anything I've tried hexing before..." She thought it over, "but this is probably way different..." Meaning she'd go the more direct route for now so she copied the latter of the two demonstrations. "Like that?"

She assumed so....Ahem. "Expulso!" She immediately jumped back as a piece of rubble was blasted, sending several smaller pieces airbourne.

Blink. Blink.

"I DID IT!!!" GRIIIIIN. She actually blew something up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She'd just have to be really impressive with the practice, couldn't have him thinking she was incompetent. That just wouldn't do!

Eeeeeeep!!!! Good effort! She almost got it right!!!! BEEEAAAAM. Okay, she tried focusing as he went explaining it in a bit more detail. Skipping rocks...better aim...blowing stuff up. Yup, all this was being registered in her head for when she'd try again, which wasn't that long after. "I think I have good aim, never missed anything I've tried hexing before..." She thought it over, "but this is probably way different..." Meaning she'd go the more direct route for now so she copied the latter of the two demonstrations. "Like that?"

She assumed so....Ahem. "Expulso!" She immediately jumped back as a piece of rubble was blasted, sending several smaller pieces airbourne.

Blink. Blink.

"I DID IT!!!" GRIIIIIN. She actually blew something up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okie dokes..ookay. Erik waited for the girl to give the spell a proper try, meanwhile wondering what else she had needed to hex before today. Hm. He gave a nod at her adjusted grip on the wand and another nod of approval once she had blasted a bit of the statue.

"Congratulations," Erik replied smoothly with just a hint of pride in his tone. "Vould you like to give it another go, perhaps see how many pieces you can blast in succession?" Like rapid fire? He crossed his arms and relaxed, sensing that she would have the hang of this in no time.

She was still reveling in the first explosion, the fact that it didn't take forever, her wand clearly had a preference when it came to the spells it would cast. Not that she was complaining. There was a wide grin spread across her face and she was trying everything to NOT go bouncing all over. It was too much, she almost didn't hear him congratulating her BUT SHE DID!!!

Her eyes were still going over the rubble when he asked a question that brought the grin to her ears.

"SUUUURE!!!"

She held her wand at ready again, surveying the ground. Naturally she'd want to hit all the big ones first. They made a bigger BOOM. Lex chose one as the starting point, focused, then..."Expulso!" BOOOM! She almost broke her concentration to beam but remember the whole 'succession' bit and just kept casting.

Boom...BOOM...BOOM....

Haha! Things were blowing up! Not big things but they were still going BOOM!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

"LOOK!!! I'M DOING IT!!!" And with a few more blown the girl couldn't help the ripples of giggles that eventually turned into laughter. This. This was how one entertained themselves before dinner.

Well she was proud of herself. Erik smirked as the girl went for the spell again. She was a good little soldier. Mhm. The rubble was even making a nice 'boom' sound every time she attacked it.

"Yes, you are," Erik chuckled under his breath. "Vell done, Alexa. Now vhat you haff vhe hang of it, I'm going to be going back to vhe castle." He had lessons to prepare for, plans to make, owls to write, etc. etc. He was happy to have taught her something though.

She stopped her exploding rampage to look over at the Professor who, might we add, was congratulating her again twice in less than an hour, yup, this was good stuff. She BEAMED up at him. "Okay! I'll just...blow some more of this stuff up before I head back." It wasn't everyday that one got to blow stuff up and it was even less often that one got to blow up a piece of school property--that's what the statue was, you know--with the expressed permission of a Professor.

Her attention turned once again to the rubble. She thought to ask who would be cleaning this up afterwards but if he didn't seem concerned, then she wouldn't let it bother her. For now, explosions.

"Expulso!"

BOOM.
