Hogwarts RPG Name: Felix Lupin First Year | Arista, Blaise, Callum and Airey mentioned. SPOILER!!: Gryffindor Quote:

"No." He practically mirrored Bentley. This is what they got for being right awful JERKS. Pride swelled high in his chest when Amur got up and drew her wand, the kind of pride that distracted him from the wand he'd never be able to defend against. For one, his wand was in his trunk. He wouldn't use it, it didn't work. There was nothing he'd have been able to do but NOW, a wicked grin spread across the twelve year olds face at his cousin's question. "I'd LOVE to."
The young Gryffindor took the pie just a little ways off and aimed it right at his BIG STUPID HEAD. That done, he turned and started wildly throwing food again. Dante was a card, he was promoting the fight even if stupid head Thornton was telling others not to. Didn't mean they'd stop throwing.
His attention was caught by Alice when she pulled up her hood and asked about his quill. "I like the stories it makes and I like how interesting it can make people." Said while he threw a turkey leg clear across the room. Quote:

"Thanks for that," he remarked in good humor, ruffling his own floppy hair a bit sheepishly as he slipped into the spot she made for him on the bench, grinning around elatedly at everyone who was giving him attention. Too much attention, yes, and it was hard for him to keep up with all the excitement, but he just grinned puppishly and smiled around at everyone - especially Bast, and Liv who had just joined them, too.
Waving back to his yearmate, Callum replied brightly, "Yeah." Exciting, overwhelming, a whole lot at once, but absolutely good. He felt welcomed and accepted, and he would have completely forgotten the Ravenclaw-parental dilemma if Liv had not mentioned her own dad, but of course his thoughts went straight to his parents. How... would they feel that they, two very brilliant Ravenclaws, had birthed two Gryffindors thus far? Would they be disappointed in him? Would they feel sad and wonder where they went wrong? Would-- His worrisome thoughts dissipated as more people greeted him - a younger girl, one who could have only been a year or two older than him, and one of their prefects was waving his way, too. Returning the wave first with a smile before turning his gaze to Ava, he gave a little nod of acknowledgement to accompany his boyish grin. "Thanks." Not a boy of many words, but surely his expression conveyed just how comfortable he was already with all of them. But then there was a ghost! Addressing him as Sir, and Callum's eyes flickered to the ghost's neck in scrutiny before smiling with recognition. "Thank you, Sir Nicholas. Happy to be here." His bright eyes turned from the ghost to Char beside him, who was unsurprisingly being a social butterfly, and Callum gave his sister's hand a brief squeeze beside him.
They did it. They were together. And Genny had been sorted there, too! "Hullo, Genny," he chimed back brightly, his shiny eyes conveying far more of his delight than his demeanor. Looked like they had a long seven years together ahead of them, and Callum could not have been happier. Genny had always been sweet and fun to be around. "Can't wait." For all the fun they had to look forward to, naturally. Another very friendly girl was addressing him, and Callum had a smile for her as well, though his head cocked slightly to the side as she spoke very quickly and he had to take a moment to process it. He giggled, then, and nodded, "Friends." Yes. He would like that. "I'm Callum. Callum Kettleburn." As if Char had not just told the entire world. ...Merlin's beard. Was this what he was going to be living with for seven terms? Housemates like this? Were they ALL as over-the-top as Char, then? Was... was the Sorting Hat sure that it had made the right decision?
Despite his alarm at the chaos that ensued mere seconds after the food appeared, Callum threw his arms up over his head as stray food flew his way, free laughter taking over any apprehension. He did not know why there was a food fight, nor did he particularly care, but as Char in particular went on to make an even bigger mess of things, there was no chance at Callum getting out of there moderately clean, and he accepted it in good humor. He lifted his arms so he could see who the main culprits were - there were two boys in particular over there, then Char and Liv, and another girl who was pointing a wand at an upperclassman with a badge who was pointing his wand, too--
But before Callum could make sense of why the food fight was instigated in the first place, there was a sharp crack of thunder and lightning accompanying the changing ceiling above them, and soon cold rain was pouring down upon them.
Well. At least that would wash off the tomato soup that was covering his side nearest to Char, and he lowered his arms to let the rain fall upon him properly, not minding the rain in the slightest. He was not going to stand up on the bench like Char was to enjoy it, but instead he reached to save a roll from complete soggy doom by devouring it quickly, then taking a few more and hiding them under his robes so they would not get ruined either.
...Would they still get to eat proper food? The professors would not send them to bed with no dinner or soggy dinner, would they? He stuffed a few more dinner rolls inside his robes just in case. Quote:

BUT if looks could kill he was awfully close to achieving that effect. "GRYFFINDORS!" he barked, ensuring that ALL of them could hear him with a well timed Amplifying Charm to himself. "STOP. DO NOT PASS GO. DO NOT COLLECT 200 GALLEONS. JUST STOP! All the rest of this evening's festivities have been canceled and not a SINGLE one of you is to leave the Great Hall until EVERY LAST PEA and EVERY LAST DROP of butterbeer has been CLEANED UP." And yes, he was WELL aware that not everyone had been involved in this little activity, but it mattered not. "We are a pride. A pride of lions who represent the legacy bestowed upon us by Godric Gryffindor himself and you WILL come to act that way and look out for one another to make sure that the pride acts with each other's best interests." Which certainly had NOT happened this evening. "AND PEBBLES ECHOS THESE SENTIMENTS!" he added, thrusting the pet rock into the air as if she were about to add to his little lecture. To which he had ALMOST said sediments instead of sentiments, which would have entirely debunked his entire vibe.
And Sir Nicholas? Do not even try to help weasel any students out of this one. For the first time in his Hogwarts career the man was NOT going to budge.
"There is to be NO finger pointing, just heads down and showing this school the respect it deserves from you and that includes CLEANLINESS. Magical means are acceptable." Otherwise they would be here ALL night and he rather fancied slipping into his suitjamas and sleeping, you know? And he already had an INKLING as to what had gone on here, so there was no need for anyone to gain up on anyone else. The truth will out! "100 points will be deducted from Gryffindor and there will be OTHER consequences to follow, of which you will be hearing about at our mandatory house meeting. Tomorrow."
THE VEIN! THE VEIN WAS PULSATING! MAYDAY MAYDAY!
Also he did calm himself enough to shoot another spell up towards the ceiling and promptly ceasing the rain.
"Now let's get to work," he grumbled as he picked up a soggy roll from the floor and set it on one of the empty plates on the table. Yes, he was going to assist as well because he was also a part of that pride he had spoken of. Quote:

Are you excited to be in Gryffindor!?" Alice seemed like a nice person, she would have to warm her up to the whole hugging stuff, she made a note to hug her whenever she got the chance now if she remembered that was a different story.
Arista eyed Candice yes that was exactly what was funny. "Oh no I was laughing at something else don't worry about it!!" She giggled and then added, "But now that you mention it, it is a tad bit funny that you have a badge. But I can't think of anyone else Flamsteed would have given in to." Goody two shoes, her? Oh no. "Definitely not I just know how not to caught." Or found out. Where in the world had she gotten that ridiculous idea from...
Arista smiled at Abby, "I know it seems like its been centuries!!!" Seriously it did seem like it had been that long but she knew she was just being dramatic, "What brings you to this neck of the woods?" She smiled and that she when she noticed the chaos that was starting to brew around her...Oh no...
So not only was a food fight going on someone had made it rain!!! She put her hands above her she loved the rain, where had she left her purse. OH YEAH!! It was by Hope! She walked back over to the girl who was under the table??? Okay... She sat down and said "Hey Hope! Making friends? Sorry about leaving in mid-conversation." The redhead smiled noting the gloom face of her friend she would ask but it looked like Spencer had it handled, good.
The redhead had barley picked up her purse when she noticed a furious Flamsteed suddenly at the Gryffindor table...Oh no!! She wouldn't have noticed if not for the yelling of Gryffindors being screamed at them. So it was a go to say he was mad.
Every last drop but that would take forever!!? At least everyone would be helping. 100 Points!!! Dang...That was crazy!
Holy heck-face he was going to explode wasn't he.... She asked a little bit to loud "Do you think hes going to burst a vein...??"
Oh thank goodness magical means are acceptable. Looking down at her appearance there was no way she was cleaning when she was soaking wet she might die!! At least it wasn't raining anymore. Looking back up at the Professor she grimaced she had never seen Professor Flamsteed look so...soo..mad!!
She finally picked up her small bag and got her wand out, she quickly performed the hot air charm and dried herself off looking at Hope and Spencer she asked, "Hope, Spencer, want me to dry you off?" She looked around they had a lot of work to do, good thing she had her wand and that others did as well because if they didn't they would be here for an eternity!!
While waiting for an answer Arista decided she might as well start pointing her wand at the area in front of them she said "Scourgify." Sigh this was going to take a while.
Alice turned back to Blaise, still unsure what his quill even did.. Hm " So it makes up a story when people say stuff and junk?" the ever the eloquent eleven year old asked.
Then Callum spoke to her, who seemed instantly very popular. But maybe that was because his sister was already a Gryffindor? " Good! it's nice to meet you, Callum!" Alice was all smiles, making friends was the thing she'd been looking forward to the most about school. " Do you like climbing trees?" Because that's what she wanted to do once she could walk the grounds, climb a tree and find some friends to do so with. Arista spoke again and Alice just nodded. " Yes, i'm very excited.. My brother and my dad were Gryffindors too! I cant wait to tell them." it would be wonderful to get their reactions. Arista seemed like a nice older student.. Alice just had to be prepared for the hugs.
The next moment some blonde guy who Alice assumed was the Professor she was told would have lots of space puns to tell seemed very angry about the food fight? Was this not a normal thing here?... Oh.. apparently not... and now she'd have to CLEAN... Alice Lupin had never cleaned anything more than her own room a day in her life! This was an outrage! She was tired and soaked from the stupid rain, had food on her clothes and hadn't thrown one bit of it! And now she had to clean.... Now Alice was grumpy. She couldn't even clean with magic because she didn't KNOW any magic... because that's why she was here.. to learn magic now be some kind of house elf, Thank you Very much Professor Cranky Spaceman.
