Default Entrance

The Great Hall is flanked by two large, thick, wooden doors that often make a BANG! sound when flung open by dramatic students and/or staff. There are large, beautiful glass windows at the end of the Hall above the staff dais, the usual enchanted ceiling over everyone, and the four regular house tables lined up neatly in the middle.

Whether you make an entrance or choose to simply enter the Great Hall, you'll still be wowed by its size and architecture every time. You might also be pleased to notice the general upgrade in cleanliness, and perhaps a light, pleasantly clean scent from the candles floating above all the tables. Isn't it nice, what money can do for a school?

As Hope entered the Great Hall her mouth hung open. It was beautiful! More than She ever imagined. She once again lost Arista and Thomas. But she figured they had gone to be at the Gryffindor table. She however, didn't loose Spence. He was right there with her. And she had a tight grip on his hand. She was just so nervous!

She looked around at all the students. There were so many!! How did all of them fit in here? That's when she saw it. THE SORTING HAT!!! She gave a little quick squeal. It had escaped. She had even realized she had done it until it fell on her ears. This was it!! HOGWARTS!!!

Daxton Prince had never been much one for feasts, or any meals in the Great Hall, or the Great Hall in general. Or people. Or... anything, really. Despite certain plans that had been made before even reaching Hogsmeade station, Daxton was suddenly in two minds whether he wanted to attend the Feast at all.

Except that that was a lie. He was not in two minds. He knew with no uncertainty that he did not want to attend at all, and when Daxton did not want to do something, it was highly unlikely that he would do it anyway. Not if he did not have to.

But he had stopped by the doors of the Great Hall regardless, his frayed and patched school robes draped over one shoulder as it was far too warm to actually be wearing them. Daxton was, however, wearing his ear muffs, to block out the sound of the overexcited and shrill students that were gradually filling up the Hall. Watching as everyone took their seats, Daxton stood himself right up very edge of the doorway, peering around the doorframe so that none of the stragglers could accidentally brush up against him on their way in, and scanned the tables. Whether he was looking for someone in particular, or just looking in general, was not obvious. But still Daxton lingered in the doorway for a little longer, with every intention of ducking away long before the food appeared and occupants of the hall started stuffing their faces with all the grace of a starving troll at a banquet.

Merlin. There were so many of them. No. Daxton was absolutely not going in. Absolutely not.

Slipping away from the train Ursula took some time getting up to the school. Her bird on her shoulder she opened the castle door. "You will all meet your doom eating the foods I smell here." She took a sniff in the air and pointed at the children standing in the entrance way.

"Only drink with your left hand and turn three times before sitting down." Pulling out her perfume bottle she sprayed the area. Too much child smells around it was making her hungry.

Standing in the doorway meant a good deal of traffic passed by, and so after a while Daxton stopped looking around to check everyone who entered his periphery, unless they lingered there too long.

Because of the earmuffs he wore, it was impossible to hear anything in great detail, but though he missed the declaration made about the food, he did become vaguely aware of loitering someone nearby. Before he had the chance to look, a horrible smell reached his nostrils, permeating the very air he breathed and filling his lungs with its potency. Daxton broke immediately into a coughing fit, and pulled his robes up over his nose and mouth to block the horrible air even as he looked around for the culprit.

Oh, it was that. The hag, or so Cal had described it earlier. Daxton had ducked past it a few times on his way up and down the train, and spent a good portion of the journey wondering why and how the conductors and prefects had even let it on board. One thing was for certain, it was even uglier up close.

Daxton eyed the... thing. And the perfume bottle. He did not trust the hag at all, he did not know why it was here, and frankly the whole situation was nothing short of suspicious. It suddenly struck him that perhaps in that perfume bottle there was some kind of... some kind of poison. As soon as the thought came to him, the Ravenclaw's eyes went wide and he impulsively reached out to try and smack the bottle of poison out of the thing's hand... while trying not to make physical contact with... it.

Oh, it was little DAXTON. Dot still wanted to give the little sprog hugs, but... he gave the overwhelming feeling of not wanting to be touched. And Dot didn't want to shower anyone with love unless they were ready for it. BUT STILL. He got a little bit of simpering Momma!Dot face as she inched past him.

And ran into Mistress Cabbage from the train. Literally ran into her, which meant that Dot now probably smelled something like cabbagy smells too. She caught the old woman's arm to keep her from falling and gave her best prefect-y smile. Like... lady was here for a reason, people, so it was best to show some respect.

"You don't have to tell me that, Miss. I've tried the brussel sprouts, and I was pretty sure I was going to die afterwards. The puddings are safe, though, if you like those." Dot fumbled in her robes before coming up with a little glittered clip. Pretty, right? Maybe it would make all... that... less objectionable. Here. She offered the clip to the lady.

"Like my perfume dearie?" She cackled and sprayed it more towards him since he liked it so much. "You will not make it to your first class because you will loose your shoes." Her cackles could be heard through the entrance until she was run into. Grabbing at the girls arm she looked at the child. Breathing in close to her, "Brussel Sprouts are not what you have to worry about here."

The hit made her bird fly off her shoulder and land on a student. "My pet scenes the danger around." Her wild eyes looked around as if expecting to see something happen that very moment. What was this? Distracted by the glitter she wrapped her long fingers around the object. "You dearie might be spared." This was going to be part of her collection and she shoved it into her bag.

More coughing from Daxton, muffled by the robes he held firmly over his mouth and nose, and he drew back from the ugly thing instead. It was spraying more at him, clearly because he had figured out the secret so soon, and posed a threat to the plans. But Daxton, realising he would not get his hands on that perfume bottle in this current moment, knew his best option was a retreat. As for the hag's words, again he did not hear them, and he was not about to take of his earmuffs to do do.

Daxton stepped back, way back and out of the cloud of 'perfume', and gathered more of his robes up to defend his airways, though he could still smell it quite clearly. From where he now stood, he did not miss Dot arriving. He caught, but did not understand, her simpering, though was too pre-occupied with theories surrounding the probably-murderous hag in any case. Daxton watched them both, his suspicious squinting soon turning into a scowl as he watched their interaction turn into a transaction, and his suspicion levels soared at once.

Where were the staff? Were they not aware that a hideous hag had somehow forced its way onto the school grounds, and waltzed into the castle? Why were they not at the entrance to the Hall within seconds of its arrival, to escort it away and reinforce the perimeter security? Either they were all stupid or unobservant... or this thing was supposed to be here. Daxton hoped that only the former were true, and he leaned slightly to see through the doors again and up at the staff dais, where he would surely get a clue as to whether or not the staff were paying any mind to this potential intruder.

The woman was definitely tormenting Daxton, and Dot was torn between wanting to push her down the stairs and wanting to respect her elders. Those were pretty much the only options in her mind at the moment, and she opted for respecting... and shielding Daxton a bit with her own body. She coughed and waved a hand in her face.

"Oh, it's quite strong, isn't it? Is that roses? Carnations? Hyacinth? I've always been interested in scents, but I can't quite pin yours down." Especially since it didn't cover the cabbage smell nearly well enough for Dot's standards. "And I never actually worry about the brussel sprouts. I just leave 'em to someone else to worry over. Don't even know why they make them, when no one in their right mind likes brussel sprouts. You can dip them in chocolate and call them candy, but they're still the nastiest things..."

Merlin, shut up, Charlotte. She took a deep breath, a mistake with all the pungent perfume and cabbaginess in the air, and Dot was suddenly coughing up her own lung. In between, she managed, "Spared from what, please? And do you need help to the dais, Miss? I'm sure we can get you there... safely." She was probably dying. Not spared, after all.

And there was a firstie right THERE, not even sorted yet. Even still valiantly trying to catch her breath, Dot gave the girl a big grin and pointed toward the Sorting Hat. "Go on with you, kid, and get sorted. You can't hide back here all night." Much fun as that might seem at the moment.

"Spared from boy trouble dearie. I see many admirers of your aura." Ursula cackled in response to the girl who if her elderly ears didn't decieve her was sounding like she was coughing up her lungs. "But you sound like you need to go see the healer instead of guiding me into the hall. That cough sounds nasty buiseness. Double sided pneumonia, mark my words." Yes, and those were nasty trouble.

Pulling her arm out of the girl's grip Ursula's crazy eyes lingered briefly on the sheilded boy before she walked off into the Great Hall with a crazily eerie giggle "Soon the whole school will be sick, the healer should put everyone on quarantine."

Jessie heard someone shouting to her from the table. Found out that one of older girl looks at Jessie and pointed at the sorting hat.

Jessie can't hold her giggled and nodded at her.
She'll take the hat for sure. After dried her wet palms for the sixth times today with the robes, Jessie felt ready for her new house-to-be.

For someone who often insisted he did not need anyone's help, Daxton was actually a frequent practitioner of the human shield. Hiding behind one, that was, not acting as one. He did not complain when Dot took up the role, and in fact Daxton absolutely stepped directly behind her without hesitation. He kept his robes gathered up and pressed over the lower half of his face, and watched the hag over Dot's shoulder.

It was really quite an awful thing, and Daxton felt much better knowing there was someone stood in between him and it. Ugly thing it was too - it looked almost as bad as it smelled.

Daxton could not quite make out the discourse between Dot and the putrid smelling hag, but he did not want to risk uncovering his nose simply to remove his earmuffs. But... then it was looking at him again, and Daxton felt every level of discomfort it was likely possible to feel. He forced a half-hidden scowl back at it, then watched it go into the Hall. Well... at least now the staff would be forced to deal with it, and the air here - though the odour lingered - might soon become breathable. As far as he could tell, Dot had not dropped dead, so the perfume may well not have been poisonous.

Unless it was slow-acting, to decrease suspicion.

For now, Daxton watched the hag's retreating back, then sent a side glance towards Dot. After a moment's consideration, he retrieved his notebook from his robes pocket, and quickly (but with some difficulty, as he was still trying to keep his mouth and nose covered) wrote out a message for her to read. Before she could leave, he tapped her on the shoulder with said notebook, and held it so that his message could be read.

'I think it is supposed to live in the creatures stables. Someone should take it there before it infests the rest of the castle.'

Someone that was not him, because as it turned out, Daxton could not be near a being such as that without the urge to give it a good kick.

From the corner of her eyes Jessie captured a silhouette.

"Raven..."

Feels like a burden added to her chest. Guilty...

The boy ignore her. Suddenly a pair of her shoes became interesting.
She decided to pretend not noticing the blonde.Even she still could she him between other students in Slytherin table.


Oh Merlin... why you made her life like riding a roller coaster ?

The old woman was cackling in Dot's personal space, and it was NOT okay, plus she was saying impossible things. Stupid impossible things. "No one admires my aura, and I've never had boy troubles a day in my life, but it's very nice of you to say so." Also nice that Dot was starting to breathe normally again.

And apparently the woman didn't need help to the dais, and Dot watched her totter off. The whole school sick? Impossible. They had their own healer and everything.

Now that the woman was gone, Dot was able to move to the side to let Daxton pass her into the Great Hall. If he was hungry... which surely he was. Growing boys and all that. In spite of the fact that the woman presented no danger, she really couldn't blame him for shirking away from her like that. She was... terrifying, in her own way, and Daxton could only express that physically.

He offered a note, and Dot glanced down at his writing. Not... very nice, kid. It wasn't someone's fault if they looked like they'd taken a running start at the ugly tree, and they ought to have compassion for her. Imagine living your whole life looking like that and being all sorts of kooky in the personality department? She was bound to have lived a difficult life.

"She's just a person. A talking, thinking person. Unless." She worried her lip for a moment. "You think she's a hag? Or do they prefer 'crone'? They eat children. Surely she wouldn't come to a school and try to eat children." But Moxley had her now, and Dot trusted Moxley absolutely. "See you around, Blue Eyes. Keep your chin up, okay?"

She gave the firstie ickle another grin as she headed for the Sorting Hat. "Good luck!" And now she'd better get back to the table.

At last, Daxton removed one of the 'ears' of the earmuffs, so he could hear what Dot might have to say about his suggestion.

As it happened, he had not even intended to be rude that time. That the smelly old ugly lady had simply gone astray while en route to its home with the rest of the creatures was a genuine theory of his. Daxton looked back into the Hall now, to see the whatever-it-was right up at the staff dais; no chance at all could they ignore it by this point. The smell alone would make sure of that.

A person, though? Maybe it was that it was just a particularly aesthetically insulting individual. Cal had said that it was a hag during their encounter on the train... but then Cal was actually rather dim, and had also declared that he initially thought that it was Daxton's mother. That part had been particularly confusing, as Cal had never met Daxton's mother, but the Slytherin boy had provided no further explanation. In fact, he had attempted to beat a hasty retreat soon after.

Daxton looked blankly at Dot, considering the Slytherin prefect's words about hags-who-preferred-to-be-called-crones, and who ate children. Naturally. He did not have much time to consider the matter before Dot bid him farewell - at least, Daxton was fairly certain that he was the Blue Eyes in question. He blinked, trying with little success to decipher her comment about his chin, before looking once more into the Great Hall.

During a long moment staring up at the staff table, Daxton finally uncovered his mouth and nose to draw in a slightly-less-than-refreshing breath. Another moment later, and the Ravenclaw glanced again at the House tables, then abruptly turned and took his leave, heading for the staircase as he pull the earmuffs down to hang around his neck - he would not be needing them for now. No Feast for him. Daxton was going to make the most of an empty and silent common room and dormitory while he had the chance.

Before another hag could come along and spread its odour around.

Rubbing his temple in one hand, the other deep in his pocket, Zeke left the Great Hall with the intention of distancing himself from the noise and distractions of the feast. He just really wasn't in a mood for celebratory start-of-year things. Maggie's words (and lack there-of) haunted him with every step he took and still the puzzle he turned about in his head remained unsolved. Welcome back to Hogwarts? He thought he'd developed a taste for mystery and problem-solving, but this wasn't what he had in mind for the beginning of his fifth year. Could they rewind?

Zeke hesitated as he slowly ascended the staircase. He still wasn't sure where he was going. Sabel was gone, so he could only assume that the training room might still be the way he'd left it, otherwise the only other alternative that appealed to him was his bland four-poster bed. Without the password he would have to resort to using the crawlspace.

While she hadn't RUN after him exactly (like, she didn't want anyone to notice), Maggie had in fact hurried. As much as that was possible while still looking casual and stuff yes. Hopefully no one had seen her leave. She didn't really have time to look around and check, however.

Like, she had no idea where Zeke was headed to.

"ZEKE!" Had he not heard her earlier or had he simply ignored her? As for right now, she sincerely hoped that he would stop and wait for her. If not, she might in fact hit him with a spell to MAKE him wait for her. Maybe stunning him would be even better than making him trip. "Wait!" One last try before she would reach for her wand.

Up to you, Browne.

It was easy enough to kill two birds with the one stone, take detour to the training room on the way to his dorm, yes, that was a good idea. With any luck the obstacle course and target range would be as it was when he left here only months ago, and he could burn off some of his frustrations. If not... then sleep would have to do.

Rubbing his hand down his cheek, Zeke slipped it into his pocket as well, as he took another laboured step. The weight of the world was clearly on his shoulders. Only, his steps faltered when he heard her voice behind him. Maggie.

....

Pausing where he was, Zeke closed his eyes for a moment hoping it would give him some strength or focus or whatever it was that he needed right now... but then turned to face her, his hazel eyes locking on hers.

So she did want to talk?

While Maggie had caught sight of him, she wasn't sure he would in fact stop of his own accord. So, naturally, she had already reached for her wand with every intention of using it if need be. One well-aimed stunner and he wouldn't have a choice but 'wait' for her.

Luckily for Zeke (and herself), however, the Gryffindor DID stop.

Maggie, too, stopped a few meters away from him when he turned around to look at her. Oh. Err. Yes. Maybe she should have, like, thought of something to say instead of just blindly running after him. For a few seconds she just stared right back at him before realizing that she was still holding her wand.

Ah. That. She should probably put that back in her holster.

"Don't go." Even if it was just for tonight. Like, he wasn't leaving for good or anything. Still. "I'm sorry." She'd already said that, yes, but she felt like it needed repeating. With a pleading look on her face Maggie took a step closer. "I didn't want to upset you." Sorry. Again.

... or not.

At first he thought Maggie might not say anything, and while that was enough to make him want to cringe, he had a very different response. Seeing her wand in hand, he couldn't help but smirk a little though he tried to hide this by averting his gaze to his feet. Shoes were fascinating things.

After a moment in which time Maggie secured her weapon, Zeke peered back up with a neutral expression - or at least that had been his intention until she spoke. Hearing her say 'don't go' was enough to ease some of the hurt he felt, though it was a far cry from making things all 'okay' again.

He held his tongue for the moment, watching as she took a step nearer and he too took a step to meet her. She could apologise all she wanted, but at the end of the day, he didn't understand what she was thinking and why she had behaved the way she did. All things considered, he did actually accept her apology about not meaning to hurt him, because he supposed that was what just happened and it sucked.

Unable to resist, Zeke cleared the last of the distance between them and pulled her into hug, resting his lips against her forehead. It was a selfish act, wanting her contact, and so he took it.

What? What was he doing?

The fact that he'd bowed his head and was looking down now made it almost impossible for Maggie to see his face. Rude. At least it didn't seem like he was about to turn around and leave again. Honestly, neither stunning nor running after him was appealing to her right now. And not only because it required unnecessary effort.

Also because...well, she didn't exactly LIKE him running away from her.

Maggie relaxed considerably when he, too, took a step closer to her. Only she still wasn't sure what to make of his current expression. Was she forgiven? Should she say more? Maybe actually explain things? But seriously, that would be a rather long conversation. Where was she supposed to START? To be honest, she didn't even really know herself why exactly Paige's words had bothered her so much. So how was she supposed to tell Zeke?

Selfish or not, Maggie VERY MUCH appreciated the hug that followed. Hugging him back, she leaned her head against him and just remained there for a long moment. Maybe if she stood still for long enough everything would just go back to normal. If Zeke was being selfish, so was she.

Very much so.

Before she got lost in the moment, however, Maggie pulled back just enough to look at him, her hands resting against his chest. "What Paige said, I-" She hesitated. It would be a lot easier if she just made something up, a different reason why she'd been upset with the Hufflepuff or something. But no, she'd come here to talk and answer his question from earlier. She owed him that much. "What she said about us. It was...serious. It was too serious." Did that make sense? Also, would that upset him more now?

She bit her lip, watching him closely, waiting to see if she had to elaborate further.
