SPOILER!!: Cael

Quote:

Cael mumbled to himself quietly as he entered the common room, pushing his normally neat hair out of his eyes where it had fallen messily on his jaunt to the Ravenclaw tower. Luckily, tonight's entrance question hadn't been too difficult, ('Name three known properties of dragon's blood'), which was fortunate considering the depressed mood he couldn't seem to shake.

His glower eased somewhat when his eyes settled on the well-known furnishings scattered throughout the plush common room, the soft couches and vibrant tapestries calming some internal anxiety he hadn't been aware of until that moment.

Sighing gratefully, he plunked down on one of the available wing-backed chairs, determined not to wallow in the guilt that was threatening to tear at him. Scrubbing the heel of his palm across his forehead, he mentally replayed the fiasco that had brought it about in the first place.

Elliot... Merlin, how could he have done that to her? More importantly, how had he gotten himself into a situation where he'd needed to choose between them? Girlfriend or girl friend... it wasn't about who was right or wrong, Cael wasn't mad at either of them. Well, maybe for getting him into this mess, but he would never abandon either of them. He loved being friends with Elliot!

Everyone else might not see it, but the girl was a riot. No one else could hold their own against his brand of banter except her and he was able to talk to her about some of the darker aspects of being the child of a Pureblood family without instantly starting some kind of blood debate. They understood each other perfectly. Most of the time.

He'd just apologize to her the next time he saw her. It was decided.

Cael also felt particularly guilty for ignoring the first years at the Feast, too worked up over his friends to properly meet any of them. Well, maybe now was the time to change that.

"So how do you like it here so far? I'd say we've got the best common room by far," he smiled at a few of the new faces he could see, hoping one of them was up for some conversation.

"So how do you like it here so far? I'd say we've got the best common room by far," Some boy from a nearby chair spoke, his voice carrying over the babble of voices. Kendra was surprised at first with the amount of chairs in the common room, there just seemed to be the right amount, enough for most to sit down, without, of course, cluttering up the space. She liked it. It made the whole place seem more like home.

She was sitting cross legged on the chair with the rat on her lap, muttering different names under her breath whilst she watched him with interest, every move, the catch of her breath on his fur, the movement of his nose as he tried to hunt down a new smell. Amazing. She had decided long ago that she would like to work with animals, muggle ones at that stage. But now... she couldn't wait to see the creatures in her book for herself. Grindylow's, Hippogriff's, Dragons. Mythical creatures in any fairytale. But now they were real.

She fished a small jelly bean from a peculier pack that she had bought on the train to Hogwarts. She had, at first, assumed they were normal. Before being brought to near tears by an chilli one. She was sure this one was cheese flavoured, hence giving it to the rat. She watched it eat as she replied to the boy. 'Sure is breath taking, to say the least.' She replied not looking up. 'Seems you can see right to the station if you look out the window.'
