Default The Corridor to the Courtyard



This long stone hallway with open windows to let the cool air or the warmth from the sun in, leads to the courtyard. The corridor is a good place for students to hang out.

It was the morning after the feast and coming back to the school. Leo had spent the night after the feast unpacking and just settling in. It had been a stressful day in most respects he contemplated with a sigh. It had been a miracle that he had made it to Hogwarts for the feast. Adjusting his satchel packed with stuff for the Gobstone's club Leo stuck the other hand through his unruly dark curls.

Entering the corridor to the courtyard he stopped in front of one of the many windows to the watch the sun set over the tress on the grounds and just soak in the peace and quiet in the empty corridor.

One could say that things were slowly going back to normal in her personal life but that really would depend on who was saying it..after all normal was relative. You could say the same about her work environment too. Hogwarts was really a piece of work. She was glad Tyler was at a reputable institution but for now she'd do all she could to impart what she could on the poor souls made to attend here.

Sophia always liked to take a morning walk after settling in the day after the feast. Usually certain places weren't crawling with kids yet which was how she liked it. Her heels clicked rhythmically as she walked down the corridor with her palms interlocked behind her back. She came to a halt when she got to Leo.

"Leobald...how was your summer?"

"Leobald...how was your summer?"
It was good to be back Leo contemplated as he peered out through the glass windows at the rising sun and what weather the day had in store. It felt soothing in some way even though last year had ended in turmoil with the dementor attack and the aftermath of that. He still thought about Alistaire and what had happened to him. Shaking his head Leo was determined to think happy thoughts and not dwell over things.

Hearing the distinctive sound of heels on the stone floor Leo turned his head just in time to see Sophia come into the corridor. When she halted next to him he engulfed her in a hug. "Sophia." He greeted with a bright beam. Letting go of her he responded. "It was good. I enjoyed it. It was just yesterday that was super stressful."

"How was your summer?"

Sophia returned Leobald's hug, patting his back as she did so. Some how she always sensed that the man needed a hug. He was always stressing about one thing or another. The good thing was that he didn't seem as hung up about his hair as usual. Progress maybe?

"Oh?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at him."And what happened yesterday that stressed you out so much?"

How was her summer? Her brows creased a little. "It was good, the annual ball that I chair went really well."

Unconsiously pulling a hand through his unruly locks Leo shared what he wouldn’t have shared with just anyone but this was Sophia so he blurted out what was on his mind. "My father got himself into a bad splinching accident just before I had arranged to leave for Hogwarts. My mother was in tears and hysterical when I got over there."

"With the help of my younger sister, we managed to get father under St Mungos care quickly enough. The healer’s are optimistic that he'll make a full recovery." Letting out a sigh, he blinked away some tears that had formed.

Focusing on brighter and happier things he asked curiously "You chair an annual ball?" Did he know this?

Leo's stress level was definitely showing especially after her raked his hand through his hair. And was that gray that she was seeing there? She tried not to stare at his head because she knew just how sensitive he was about that.

"Oh Leobald that's terrible."
She took his hand in hers and used the other hand to pat the back of the one she was holding consolingly. "Don't listen to those healers. Why don't you get him to a private healing institution. I can help you if you need to source one."

Leo had kept his feeling of stress hidden yesterday but today he was maybe showing it like a second skin since it caused Sophia to stare at him. Leo didn’t at that moment connect the staring with his hair and possible greying strands. He was too fixed on other matters.

Letting out a long breath he looked into his best friend’s eyes and tried to relax. "Thank you, we'd appreciate any help we can get. My mother is suspicious of the St Mungos healers because of past encounters.”

Trying to focus on something less stressing Leo repeated "You organize balls?"

Default post #1 astronomy
Assistant Marauder | 1/2 of BenSky | Hit Wiz! | Mischief Managed

Nerida walked along on her way to the courtyard. It was time to start cracking on that Astronomy homework. She held her eggs in hand, she would see if this spell really did work on cooking an egg... That would be awesome. If it did she could totally start telling everybody that the sun can really cook an egg.

Caught up in her thoughts the Ravenclaw hadn't seen the rock that she was about to trip over, so when she fell to the floor the egg flew out of her hand and cracked onto the ground. Pulling herself from off the ground she dusted herself off, and looked down at the broken egg, "Now what am I going to do?" sighing she would now have to return to Hogwarts....

Stopping she realized she could just try the spell here and go try it at the courtyard again later. Getting out her wand and magnifying glass thing. She adjusted the magnifying glass before giving it a little flick of the wrist and saying "Solis Focus.". She closed an eye and looked as the sun hit her egg. Hearing sizzling from the egg she stepped back?

Stepping closer only when she heard no more popping noises, had it really done it? It had to be like super super hot then right?

Claudette sat on a bench just inside the courtyard, staring out the window and the few flakes of snow beginning to fall. She was really bored at the current moment, but she knew that instead of finding something remotely fun to do she had to be doing her Charms homework.. homework that she had put off until basically the last minute. And she figured the reason for that was she already felt like she had mastered the spell and didn't feel like doing the work. But it was due so she'd better do it

So, what was she going to cast the spell on? The blonde rifled through her tote bag, her fingers closing around her bottle of lilac ink. Honestly though, she had used that in class and it just didn't have the same entertainment value without Eliza around. Which made it boring.. perhaps she should make a game of it?

The thought of games brought her train of thinking to that Abraxan game she thought up with Luc and Ethan, and she wondered if she could apply the charm to that game. Might make things more interesting.. And the thought of winged horses somehow led the 16 year old to think about the stuffed unicorn Brodie had given her which she was pretty sure was still in her tote bag. Yes.. it was, she noticed as she stuck her hand back inside and pulled it out. Maybe it would like the chance to fly as well, she thought with an internal chuckle.

The sixth year pulled out her wand and held the toy in her other hand giving it a toss in the air. With a wave of her wand directed towards the stuffed animal, she focused on its slowing down and commanded, "Arresto Momentum!" Though still moving, the unicorn slowed its descent greatly and Claudette pulled out her journal to record her observations.

Sigh that was probably his millionth time since he'd gotten up this morning,it seemed like every class that he had gone to gave homework which was just too troublesome. The worst part was that he would eventually have to do them in-case any of his professors was psychotic or something if you didn't do to their homework.

He kicked an invisible pebble, then he stopped and taking one hand out of his pockets he scratched his head in frustration he would definitely rather be home but then again he'd have to deal with being bugged by his sister and pestered to do chores. sigh there really wasn't any winning was there. Maybe he could runaway but that too seemed troublesome.

Taking a moment and looking around he spotted a claw throwing a toy unicorn up in the air then casting a spell on it from what he could tell it was the Arresto Momentum charm that they had been given for home work to practice. What a drag he'd almost forgotten about that and he was pretty sure it was due soon. He shook his head man this place was killing him,still he'd been told working with others helped make the work feel easier maybe he should give it a shot she didn't seem too troublesome.

He made his way over to the claw then put one awkward hand up in greeting of some sort.

Hey, I guess...mind if I join you this really was awkward he wasn't use to just walking up to people.Troublesome

Claudette kept one eye on the slowly falling unicorn as she jotted down in her notes for homework, nearly daring the toy to hit the ground. Not that the stuffed animal meant a whole lot to her anyway.. it had been a sweet gesture, but after what she had found out, she wasn't all that impressed that such a gift would hold any special meaning to her. Once she had finished writing, the toy being inches from the ground, the blonde lazily reached over and plucked it from the air. How much more did she need to do this? Groan. Not the way she wanted to spend her Saturday afternoon.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a boy headed her way. Hmm.. perhaps she could make this interesting. She tossed the unicorn lightly and caught it several times while she considered his words. "Sure you can.." she began with an innocent smile. Without warning, she tossed the unicorn up in the air and, when it began to descend, she whipped her wand at it. "Depulso Unicorn!" The stuffed animal began flying towards the boy's head before she waved her wand again, focusing clearly in her mind. "Arresto Momentum!" The unicorn stopped within inches of the boy. Giggling a bit, she summoned it back into her waiting hand with a point of her wand. "Accio Unicorn!"

He didn't know if it were visible or not but he could feel a twitch coming along somehow that smile seemed to be edging more on the devious side, whatever it was he had a feeling he wouldn't like it. Troub-he didn't get a chance to finish as the now air born stuffed animal was heading his way he,he ducked straight on the floor only to realize she had slowed it down and was calling it back into her possession.

He put on his most annoyed glare right now he was sure his eye was visibly twitching but he let the glare slip though his eye was still twitching' He sighed why did he always find the most troublesome people. He didn't bother getting up he really didn't see a point. Looking up he faced the claw.

And you did that because? you know what never mind lets just get to work....Troublesome girl, he grumbled that last part then he reached in his pocket and took out his wand and a baseball it was brand new he never really found a reason to use it so he might as well use it now to practice and put it to good use,he really didn't like to waste things

Claudette's light giggle faded, as did her smile, when she caught sight of the boy's reaction. Alright.. maybe she could see him ducking from being startled by her sudden movements.. but he seemed awfully grumpy and it wasn't like she had even hit him or anything. She knew what she was doing, she was just bored. Pout.

"Oh, come on.. lighten up," she said, with a good-natured smile as she tossed her unicorn up gently and caught it. Merlin.. so many people around here were so uptight.. "I was just bored with this dumb assignment and was trying to make it more fun. It's not like I was going to hit you with it.." And even if she had, it was plush. It wouldn't have hurt. She raised her eyebrow as he mumbled something all grumbly like. "Beg your pardon?" But she didn't read to much into it because he seemed to want to do this assignment with her. She just hoped he'd relax or this partnership would soon come to an end.

"You're working on the homework too?" she questioned, green eyes falling on the ball in his hand. "Might make it go faster if we worked on it together.." And not be so dull.. She stared at the ball for a moment, an idea forming as the corners of her mouth curled into a smirk. "Tell you what.. why don't you throw your ball at me and see if you can stop it before it hits me. Think you can?" To make up for her startling him and all.. not that she really thought he'd hit a girl.

While she gave him a moment to decide, she figured she'd practice the spell again.. without startling him, she supposed.. though she wondered where the fun was in that. Claudette tossed the unicorn in the air again and waved her wand at it, this time as it was tossed up and not waiting for its descent. "Arresto Momentum!" How cool.. The upwards toss was slowed before it reached its peak and slowly made its way down.. She needed to write this in her journal. The blonde jotted down a few notes, not paying much attention to the slowly falling toy.

She knew what she was doing, she was just bored. Pout.

"Oh, come on.. lighten up," she said, with a good-natured smile as she tossed her unicorn up gently and caught it. Merlin.. so many people around here were so uptight.. "I was just bored with this dumb assignment and was trying to make it more fun. It's not like I was going to hit you with it.." And even if she had, it was plush. It wouldn't have hurt. She raised her eyebrow as he mumbled something all grumbly like. "Beg your pardon?" But she didn't read to much into it because he seemed to want to do this assignment with her. She just hoped he'd relax or this partnership would soon come to an end.

"You're working on the homework too?" she questioned, green eyes falling on the ball in his hand. "Might make it go faster if we worked on it together.." And not be so dull.. She stared at the ball for a moment, an idea forming as the corners of her mouth curled into a smirk. "Tell you what.. why don't you throw your ball at me and see if you can stop it before it hits me. Think you can?" To make up for her startling him and all.. not that she really thought he'd hit a girl.

While she gave him a moment to decide, she figured she'd practice the spell again.. without startling him, she supposed.. though she wondered where the fun was in that. Claudette tossed the unicorn in the air again and waved her wand at it, this time as it was tossed up and not waiting for its descent. "Arresto Momentum!" How cool.. The upwards toss was slowed before it reached its peak and slowly made its way down.. She needed to write this in her journal. The blonde jotted down a few notes, not paying much attention to the slowly falling toy.
now it was proven she was both troublesome and crazy but he kinda liked it not that he would tell her lest she start making a habit out of throwing this at him he had had enough of that already.

like he would actually rise to the bait of telling her what he had said, girls tended to want to hit him whenever he called them what they truly were TROUBLESOME.
getting to his feet he addressed her yes i am working on the assignment or well im about to start since i totally forgot about it,and yes i agree working together should help making it easier

he took a moment to contemplate her offer,it seemed easy enough and as long as he paced it right she shouldn't get hurt,that's the last thing he would want hell hath no fury like a girl that'd been hit by a dude and she seemed the type to plot a slow cruel death

finally making his decision he addressed her again OK lets begin

going back a few meters he made sure that there was enough distance between them then he tentatively held the ball in his hand turning it over in a sort of contemplative gesture then he wound his hand back a bit and threw the ball waiting just until it was about eight centimeters from the troublesome girl before he cast the spell.

Arresto Momentum Here's to hoping she could catch.

Dylan walked along the corridor, his kitten Ginger bounding after him, trying to catch his shoelace. Lately, she had been going crazy over his shoelaces. The first year was starting to want to get some lace-less shoes... it was cute and all, but he didn't want to trip over the poor girl.

Taking a seat in one of the window seats, he looked out at the courtyard. Ginger hopped up with him and laid down in front of his shoes, beginning to gnaw on the laces. Dylan shrugged it off, deciding to let her have at it since he wasn't walking at the moment. Sighing, he turned his attention back to the courtyard, watching everyone talking and laughing with each other. He had made a few new friends since he came here but... he still didn't know lots of people here at Hogwarts. He felt lonely most times because it was hard to find where his friends were. The boy glanced around himself, hoping to see a familiar face. He was feeling kinda lonely.

As Blair made her way along the corridor she looked out towards the courtyard. Through the many windows that lined the corridor she could feel the cool October breeze. Winter was fast approaching, it will be Christmas before we know it she thought.

Blair stopped in front of one of the windows to enjoy the view of the courtyard. She could see her fellow students going about their daily business. It looked like most of them were doing their homework. One thing she did take note of was that everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves with someone else. She sighed and carried on walking.

In one of the window seats she saw a boy sitting alone, looking out at the courtyard. She then noticed the kitten at his feet, playing with his shoelaces. Aww that's cute she thought.

Deciding the best way to make some friends would be just to strike up a conversation Blair went for it. "Hey, mind if I join you?" She asked. It was then that she realised how odd this would probably seem to the boy as there was plenty other window seats she could have taken.

Dylan sighed. Merlin, he felt lonely. He had felt like he had been making loads of friends but...they just didn't seem to be anywhere today. All of a sudden, as if right on cue, a girl walked up and asked to join him. The first year looked up at her. Had this girl just read his mind? Chuckling quietly to himself, the boy smiled brightly up at her and shook his head. "Not at all, go ahead!" he told her, gesturing to the spot next to him with his hand. He really hoped this meant he was making another friend. The first year really did need more of those...

Then he realized he forgot to introduce himself. "I'm Dylan, by the way," he added with another flash of a smile. "First year Hufflepuff." he beamed at the girl. She seemed nice and looked around his age. Most likely a first year, just like him. Although, he could be wrong. She could be a second year for all he knew.

Blair smiled and took a seat, she quite liked it here. "Nice to meet you Dylan, I'm Blair." She replied. Yay another firstie! She thought to herself. Blair had already spoken to some other students but most of them were older than her. It would be nice to have a friend in the same year as, and friends were what she needed. She hadn't made many friends since starting at Hogwarts and was beginning to miss everyone back home.

"I'm a first year too, Gryffindor though," she smiled back. "And who's this little one?" She nodded gesturing towards the boys kitten. Blair had always wanted a cat but her mother would never allow it. Apparently it would ruin the furniture or something... She hadn't even been allowed to buy an owl to bring along with her.

Constellations were fun to pick out in the night sky, and it was nice to have a star chart in case he couldn't pick it out right away. Plus, he liked the stories. It was interesting to try and figure out how people hundreds of years ago had picked out pictures of gods and goddesses in the sky, and what their thinking was behind some of the weird shapes they formed.

Settling himself in the courtyard, he looked up into the sky with his telescope. "Where are you..." he muttered. Aha! There it was...Perseus. The dude who was like half a god and killed Medusa or something. Smiling, he made a note on his parchment of his observation before heading back into the nice warm castle.

But now that he was in Hufflepuff, he knew that there would be the perfect house for him. He could feel it every time he was around his fellow badgers, and everytime he went into the common room.

Then Blair was asking about Ginger. Dylan had almost forgotten she was even there... the first year glanced down at his shoes. The bright orange kitten was still playing with his laces, just as he was expecting. "Oh, that's Ginger!" Dylan answered with a small nod. "You can pet her, if you'd like."

Yeah I broke that mirror, so what? ll NOT backward ll Official Gryfferin ll Lemon's favourite

Heading back from the duck pond and through the courtyard, she now found herself by the corridor. The thought crossed her mind to just take a little rest. A small one, one that wouldn't even matter and she'd be up and ready to look for more stars or whatever. Just a liiiittle shut eye first.

Lex plopped down to one side of the corridor, keeping out of the way of anything that might have thought it cool to have a sudden stampede. Sleeping people found it difficult to live through stampedes, pity really but there you have it. She didn't plan to die on account of looking for a star or constellation or anything else that was still way up there and out of harms way...technically. Space was a violent place with all it's black holes and meteors zooming around up there. It made her wonder about NOT Jeffery. How was he doing up there? Had he been hit by anything?

Just as her eyes began to close she felt a paw on her face, then another. With a heavy sigh she opened them to find her kneazle using her as a climbing post. No.

"Get off." Now would be nice.

The kneazle didn't move though, in fact he kept tapping at her face until he was sure she was annoyed enough to be awake before plopping down in her lap and nodding to the sky. It took her an extra minute to get what he was doing at which point her eyes shot to the sky. Wheeeeeere? What was she even looking for? Felix needed to learn to be more specifi--OHAI PERSEUS!! How you dooooin'???

Woot! Another one down right there!

Tora waltzed outside, levitating her Astronomy things as she went. Finally a chance to be outside at night again! She didn't have to dodge any annoying professors or ghosts or whatnot anymore to go and stargaze, all she had to do was say that she was doing homework. She grinned as she started to set up in the corridor to the courtyard, too excited to get going to bother waiting until she actually got outside. Her first quarry of the night was Perseus, the constellation. Hopefully she would be able to see it around the castle. To make sure she would, she pulled out her Astreglobe, a compass-like device that showed her the stars in a 3-D globe over the face. The little red needle which represented which way she was facing was pointing straight towards Andromeda and Perseus. At least that's what the Astreglobe said.

Luckily, when she peered through her telescope, she could see Andromeda galaxy and with Andromeda galaxy came the Andromeda constellation. This meant that Perseus should be near by. She moved the scope around a bit until she found the stick- with- flailing- arms shape that was the Perseus constellation.

She turned to check the constellation off her list and then went back to the eyepiece of her telescope. Hmmm... this really was a bad spot to stargaze from. She packed up her stuff and started to go out into a spot where she could actually see the stars for her next celestial object.

"Yeah I really like being a Gryffindor, everyone seems nice so far." To be honest Blair didn't know too much about the houses and their histories so she would have been happy with whatever house she was placed in. She made a mental note to read up on this and educate herself on the history of Hogwarts. "What about you? Had you hoped to be sorted into Hufflepuff?"

Blair almost squealed with excitement, but thought better of it. She hopped down and gave her a pet, ahh so soft. "Thanks," she smiled as she got up to sit next to Dylan. "She's so cute! I wish I had a cat too, they could have kept each other company." She said with a nervous giggle.

Mostly every house seemed nice to Dylan. Even the majority of the Slytherins, although, he couldn't be sure, since he hadn't met any....yet. The boy then smiled, nodding at her question. "I love it. It's a great house and I enjoy being around everyone there. It was one of the ones I had been hoping to get, Gryffindor being my second choice." he explained with another tiny nod.

"You're welcome," Dylan replied with another smile, watching as the girl pet Ginger. The kitten purred loudly, rubbing her tiny head against Blair's hand affectionately. "She seems to really like you," Dylan pointed out with a grin. His grin then faded when she mentioned not having a cat, and the firstie then cocked his head. "Why don't you get one?" he asked curiously. He liked the idea of Ginger having a kitty friend of her own. She sure needed one, Dylan would think.
