Aquelarre, The W&W Sabbath
 
Associations of Witches and Wizards have been done before, especially when to fight against injustice in Medieval Times. Dark or Good Witches? One will never know. Once again the need of an Aquelarre (Spanish term for Witches Sabbath) is needed, much alike an Order of the Phoenix. When the Ministry, the Aurors and the Hogwarts authorities won't help and even keeps information away.... The youngsters might act.

This is a Advanced RPG which consist in various scenarios. The first is the start of the mysteries that you should solve: The disappearance of Draco Mafloy. This takes place during Harry's 7th year.


Both cannon and original characters will be allowed, WITH certain restrictions. You all are still students so NONE of you should have any incredible powerful abilities (i.e. you can't be a metamorphmagi, animagi, legillimence AND parceltongue; not all of them, but maybe a couple). I will allow each of you to have some kind of especial ability/artifact/number of spells if you want, but not all of them please.

Also, and here's where the thing gets interesting: each character, even if cannon, MUST have a mystery of their own. At the end of each scene (or the end of the RPG, if there's still not that many clues) we will make guesses on what was the answer. One guess per scene, please. Also, try to make the mysteries difficult but real, even the past of a character can be the mysery.


So, back to the first scene. Draco Mafloy disappeared at the dead of the night, in the Slytherin Commons Rooms. Auror barely could find track of what was there, only three witnesses were their source. The thing is, the three witnesses had very different versions of the facts, which makes this even more suspicious:

- Witness one: Changed their mind. They were the first to see it, it seems. Later they would be seen running away from the Commons to the outer Corridors screaming "A monster! A monster!"... but then, when looking for them again and ask them for the whole story, they would say it never happened; can't remember anything.

- Witness Two: This witness could give a complete description. They seem to find the creature repulsive. Humaniod and dark hairy. The most close guess to that description refers to a half-bird creature, which makes sense since it was found a hole in the floor which could have been made by a piercing object (claws). No sign of feathers, though.

- Witness Three: "An hibrid or some sort", they described it. Dragon like, so it might have been a chimaera. It also tells that it stinked. It seemed the most confident on their description.



I'll be playing Theodore Nott, the first witness*. He is a Slytherin from the same year as Draco. He had grown somewhat close though the last couple of days, seeing they both have Dead Eaters fathers in prison.


Characters:
Harry Potter --> Destiny Fate Melantha (sub. Hermione04)
Ron Weasley --> Backslash
Hermione Granger --> Hermione_Loves_Ron
Ginny Weasley --> lightstar1154
Luna Lovegood --> Arkee Maldemer
Neville Longbottom --> Meandering
Gideon Adams --> Backslash
Marissa ("X") --> stardancer488
Destiny Fate Artemis Melantha --> Destiny Fate Melantha
Astrid Thomas --> Hermione_298
Theodore Nott --> She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! (just call me Nadia)

(Originals, please post your info in here: appearance and house is enough)


EDIT: I want to make an acclaration seeing I could have been not too clear on it: You can use every other character which is not currently being played/used by another RPGer. Only obvious observation is not to contradict ourselves so not to cause fights (=P) but other than that, do use all of the characters that you deem needed to perform your little subplot of the RPG (your personal mystery) :)


STARTS: October 27 (A Week From Now)


CHAPTER ONE: Malfoy Disappears.

Well now, that rules out a big majority.

For now, I'll play either Neveille or Ron, whichever you may need. I'll throw in an original charater, while I'm at it.

Name: Gideon Adams
Age: 16
House: Ravenclaw, 4th year, reserve Seeker on the Quidditch team.
Build: Rather short and stocky. Agile, with quick reflexes.
Hair: dirty blond
Eyes: clear blue
Blood: Doesn't matter to him...

Personallity: Carefree, almost careless attitute towards everything. Easygoing and charismatic, with a good sense of humor. The kind that will laugh in the face of danger. Sometimes this cheery attitude may seem forced and artificial. Has this incurable habit of pulling small pranks on people, and pickpocketing. Can't seem to keep his hands out of other people's pockets. Rarely gets caught, unless he does it specifically to get attention, and never steals anything worth a lot. One could say he steals for the heck of it. Likes shiny objects, which is what makes him a good Seeker-except he's in detention more often than not for causing disturbances in class.

Abilities: pickpocketing, snitch-seeking, generally getting on people's nerves.

Superpower: Er, possesses a robe with bottomless pockets. Exact contents unknown.

Other: Lives with his parents and three older sisters, who have all graduated from Hogwarts and all have respectible jobs, and are *all* goody-two-shoes, unlike him. He doesn't like to talk about them much.

Hermione_loves_Ron 10-19-2004 09:36 PM

May I be Hermione?

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 10-20-2004 11:51 PM

Yes you both can^^ :yes: Welcome!

Hermione_loves_Ron will be Hermione --> Seems I'll be comfortable with you, knowing Hermione is in good hands, according to your username ¬__¬` *sighs relieved*

Backslash (hey! :shifty: *cough*remind you of sthy?*cough* ) will be Gideon Adams and... Neville and Ron are both great, be sure to choose before we start --> Bottomless pocket:: Love it! Oh the originality!
:pea:

Quote:

Well now, that rules out a big majority.
An acclaration about this rule:: It doesn't mean you cannot be Parseltongue. You can, but what I'm trying to say is that you cannot be all of that abilities at once:

Metamorphmagi* + Unregistered Animagi + Legillimence + Parceltongue = Super Student!

One of them, I can allow you to have. Maybe even two, being both Parceltongue and a knowledge in the Dark Arts. But please not all. I find it so hard for it to be believable otherwise! Being almighty, asides from being unoriginal, it's little challenging. Plus, remember we all are students in this RPG.
And... you won't need it, at least not much, because this RPG is meant to make you think before acting.

(*In here Metamorphmagi = can change into both animal and people, so, honestly, if you are going to choose, choose wisely. Why would you choose Animagi + Metamophmagi? Thanks.)

This is not only for magical abilities but for some other advantages. Another improbable ecuation would be: Knows all the Spells + Wereworlf + have a Dragon for pet + Is rich + Is more powerful than Voldemort = how humble!



New Rule: If taking two characters only one of them might have a mystery, not both (though it is possible if you feel like it). Only two characters per person max.

Hermionee04 10-21-2004 01:19 AM

I would like to be Harry Potter please and post in this color

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 10-21-2004 02:20 AM

Done! You are now Harry Potter ^___^ Remember to invent a slight secret plot with your character that at the end of the RPG we all will try to uncover, everybody. Even if you have a cannon character, this applies :shifty:


(Oops! Realized I've given the wrong start date: we are stating the 27th, not the 17th, sorry)

Hermionee04 10-21-2004 04:59 PM

Great thanks and you plot is very interesting I am going to like to see how this turns out.

Backslash 10-21-2004 07:11 PM

(Throws two coins in the air, studies the way they land, tosses sticks, scratches symbols in the dirt, meditates in a circle of candles...)

Alright. The divine powers of the Harry Potter Universe have called upon me to play Ron. So I will be playing Ron, and Gideon Adams.

lightstar1154 10-21-2004 07:44 PM

This is an awesome plot! Hmmm... who should I be? I guess I'll do Ginny again, if that is alright with you. :) I'll post (if it's alright with you) in this color!

Arkee Maldemer 10-21-2004 10:42 PM

Could I be Luna Lovegood? Or would you rather I play Neville, as he's on the list of people you require? I can take either, depending on what you need...

I'll post in this colour when RPing, to avoid confusion.

stardancer488 10-21-2004 10:50 PM

Great plot Nadia... I have been waiting for a 'good' sensible advanced RP to open for a few weeks now. Lets see... i'll be playing a made-up, seeing as I always do ;)

Name: Marissa (last name kept to very few)
Age: 16*
House: Gryffindor
Hair color: Brown
Eyes: Hazel

Personailty: caring and sensitive, usually shows a very optimistic view to those she speals with, well deep down she looks on the gloomy side. She thinks many things are possible, yet she also believes that many things just cause pain and suffering, which she has suffered much of through the years of childhood...

Um... from your description above it sounded as if you didn't want too much details on characters, so that is all I will give for now unless asked for more, or if you want me to clearify something...

* I may have missed the whole age thing, but I did not see anywhere, what year we are in, only that we are still in school, seeing as someone went with 16 I followed suit, if this is incorrect, feel free to tell me and I will change her age.

AND... I will be posting in THIS.

Reincarnation Jones 10-22-2004 05:18 PM

Oh, Nadia, this sounds to be absolutely promising. My made-up, Destiny, of course. And, d'you need someone to play an evil canon character? I'm always up for evil. :D Also, an Ollivander's re-write is in the future of my character(s). Not too much change, though.

Until that's up, however, here're the basics:

Name: Destiny Fate Artemis Melantha
Nickname: Tinny; Tin; Ko (adopted by Japanese foster parents)
Age: 16
House: Ravenclaw/Gryffindor (interchangeable)

Appearance: Long, black hair to the small of her back and silver-ish eyes dimmed to a dull gray by her glasses. She as a long scar that starts at the bottom of her left ear down her left shoulder and part-way down her back.

Personality: She's quick to smile and will do anything to make someone laugh if they're upset. She keeps her nose in the books, but always manages to find time to pull a few classic pranks.

Other: She keeps a Neverending Notebook with her wherever she goes and write in it all the time. She's also an unregistered Animagus, but her foster-mother hates magic and had a collar put on her that won't let her change. There is no way to remove it, that she has seen so far.

Ooh, and which d'you think looks better? Dark cyan, teal, dark goldenrod, goldenrod, coral or light coral?

Meandering 10-23-2004 08:20 AM

Could I be Neville please, and what exact part does he have?

hermione_298 10-24-2004 12:37 AM

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 10-28-2004 12:59 AM

CHAPTER ONE: Malfoy Disappears.
 
Wow & Yay! So many people joined^^ Thanks for being patient and for the compliments on the idea. As promised The RPG starts today.

Feel free to ask questions and I will answer as we go.

~*
-Meandering, nobody has "parts" just yet, but you will be including yourself in the story as it goes and you can add whatever you feel into the story. I will let everybody have complete free will over your characters (within what the HP tells) and let you change the story line as well (--> also, you need a color for Neville).
-As well, Hermione_298, you too can make your character good or bad (or mild or neutral too), or even change bands as you go. Btw, the character is what you make of them ;)
-Melantha, I love all colors just pick one :P (teal looks nice) Read above for the bad-character question.
-Backslash, may be better if you had one color for Ron and another for Gideon so not to have confusions (by the way, if you agree, I want to make Ron the third witness, seeing he is a prefect it fits perfectly).
-Harry Potter's 6º year indeed! And yes, Stardancer, the less you say the better :shifty: [/color]

I need somebody who can be the second witness, a Slytherin preferably. Could Astrid Thomas be it, Hermione_298?

Both Ron and Astrid will have more knowledge than the other characters, as witnesses. I'll PM you both said knowledge, if you agree.
~*

And so it begins...



"I told you! I was never here!"

Theodore Nott was on the brick of pulling his own hairs out. The Auror taking notes just made his 'mmh' sound as if he was bored out of his wits. It was maddening.

Theodore Nott and this Auror, as well as every other person in the Slytherin Common Room, now, at 8:00 am in the morning, had been awake the whole night taking and being taken declarations since 3 in the morning. That’s when the Aurors first arrived. Late, of course; the attack had happened much earlier, Theo could tell as much. He had been in a precarious mood since first encountering the scene at one in the morning.

The place was only mildly trashed. The doors of the Commons were now wide open for everybody to see the insides, even other houses. Students peeked curiously at the scene surrounded by professors, Aurors and other Ministry authorities. It was difficult not to spot the great mass of people at the dungeons pushing their way though when on your way to have breakfast at the Great Hall. Yet, only those involved stayed long enough to be sorry about it, the rest was shoed away. Everything was a mess, and Theodore (“Theo” for short) was exhausted and cranky, being questioned by this people in fancy uniforms again and again for something he never saw!

"Whatever you were said, it didn't happen,” Theo insisted. “I just finished serving detention - got a little caught up, yeah, but I wasn't here! The place was a mess by the time I arrived the Commons! Before I was here. You can ask McGonagall there."

He nodded on her direction, feeling about to collapse from lack of sleep. The Transfiguration professor was deep in conversation with his Head of House.

The man in front of him only yawned and then said that was not what another student, a prefect, had said -- at the same time he overheard a journalist and Fudge speaking not far from there. Well, of course! Why trusting a Slytherin when you can have a Gryffindor prefect telling their version of the facts?

“Who told you that?” Nott inquired. “Maybe they are mistaken me with somebody else. I was never here… and where is Draco Mafloy? What’s this I hear about him missing?”

The man didn’t say a thing and only make a few more notes. Nott was about to repeat himself when the man stood… to allow another Auror in his place for more questioning. Theo groaned. He just hoped they would let him have breakfast, he was starving.

hermione_298 10-28-2004 01:48 AM

OOC-ooh! second wittness! go astrid! sure,i feel like being important.

Astrid had been up all night. it wasent the first time. she walked around the school at least 30 times over since 3 am. she enterd the great hall to get breakfast only to see a boy from her house....theo was his name if she recalled correctly. "whats he doing here?" she muttered to herself. there was no one else but minstry wizards,teachers and theo in the room. she exited quietly and stood on the side of the doorway listening intently to what was going on. "i told you!i was never there!" she hurd him shout. "whats going on here...and wheres my friend draco?" she said to herself. she hurd something about draco being missing. "missing? this cant be....he was here lastnight...i was talking to him and than....." she thought back. she remberd talkin to him,than going up to be. draco had said he was staying up for a bit longer. she shrugged and shook her head. she went in the room again and apprched prof.snape. "excuse me sir? i was walking by to get to the washroom and i hurd something about someone being missing. is there any way i can be of help?" she looked over at theo and smiled. she wanted to help him,let him go and get up to bed...it looked as if he haddent slept at all. "its draco malfoy isent it?" she said looking back at snape.

Reincarnation Jones 10-28-2004 03:02 AM

Destiny Melantha rubbed her temples with both hands, annoyance setting in. "Listen, I don't sleep very often," she said heatedly to the Auror questioning her. "I went for a walk, that was all," she defensively added. It was as if the Auror in front of her was accusing her of kidnapping a Slytherin boy. "I'd love to help you. Really, I would, but I don't know anything. You won't even tell me who's missing."

"That doesn't matter at present, Miss Melantha," the older woman said, scribbling something on a piece of parchment. "What matters is why you were out of bed last night, roaming the halls. Mind telling me the facts, dear?"

"First of all," Tinny said, getting very angry, very quickly, "I'm not your 'dear' anything. Second of all, I've already told you why I was up. I don't sleep every night, so I take a walk sometimes, to clear my head and make me at least a little tired so I can maybe get an hour or so before school."

The woman looked at her skeptically once more before saying, "And you didn't see anything strange?"

"No, I didn't see a thing. What would I possibly see? This is Hogwarts. It's about the safest place on the planet," Tinny snorted.

"Thanks for your help," the woman said, though it was clear she was not sincere. "Your Headmaster will be informed shortly that you were not in your bed or even in your common room last night and he can deal with you accordingly. If you happen to... remember anything from last night, be sure to tell me, right?"

Tinny nodded and, when the Auror had turned away, threw the nastiest look she could muster. I don't deserve to be treated like a criminal when I haven't done anything! she thought angrily. She yawned widely. If her walk hadn't made her tired, this morning certainly had.

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 10-28-2004 06:22 AM


Theo turned sharply at the voice. It was a girl from Slytherin, that he knew, and one who was friends with Draco for what he could recall. "My question exactly!" he stated.

As soon as he had said this the new Auror was all over him -

"Wait wait wait. Yes - no, I wasn't - yeah, I called Professor Snape immediately. Listen, I entered the room and the marks where already there. Yes, THAT's when I went out to find the Head of House - No, no - No! I'm not lying! No, I'm not ashamed, I didn't run out like a girl to start with."

Just on cue he spoted it: There was a Ravenclaw in the room - "Hey! How can you let her in! She not even from our house --"


stardancer488 10-28-2004 11:17 AM

Marissa made her way to the great hall to grab some breakfast, in the air she felt tension rising everywhere. Shurgging it off she continued walking, there were always fights and arguements at Hogwarts... or so she thought. She walked a bit farther and quite a bit of noise and being to curious for her own good followed the noises which lead towards slytherin common room? She couldn't be exactly sure, seeing as she never went in 'seek' for the other house common rooms, but by over hearing people and doing a bit of research she basically managed to plot out where each one was... but it really was to no concern of hers...

... As her thoughts trailed off she came to meet a group of students, ministry officials, aurors, professors... she looked around staying away to make sure not to get into anyones way... she tapped a slytherin student on there shoulder "Excuse me..." she pasued, she was a Gryffindor, what was she thinking? There was almost no way in heaven this person would tell her anything, but since she had started the sentence she decided to finish it, rather or not they would reply... "...what exactly is going on?" she whispered somewhat embarssed...

Backslash 10-28-2004 04:18 PM

(looks at new posts, feeling flustered) Yipes. Well, Ron will be in red, and Gideon will be in this blue. I'll refrain from playing Ron until Nadia gives me the full details in case of inconsitancy. Okay, let's rumble...

Gideon Adams was attracted to the crowd outside the Slytherin Common Room like a fly to a light as soon as he'd seen the beginnings of something interesting. From what he could pick out from snatches of gossip, some Slytherin sixth year had gone missing in the dead of night. "Hey, that's different..." Gideon mused to himself, watching Ministry workers and Aurors rushing about and grilling students for information. "I wonder if it'll be as fun-filled as las' year, hmm, all this talk about He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named returnin'...wasn't there an article from the Quibbler about his father bein' a Death Eater an' all?"

Something glinted in the corner of his eye, distracting him. Eagerly he looked around to see what it was--oh, just someone's earrings. He had tons of those already. With students pressing against him on either side, fighting to get a glimse of what was going on, Gideon couldn't resist the opportunity to see what goodies they had in their pockets...hmm...where to start?

hermione_298 10-28-2004 06:02 PM

astrid sat down as a rush of memories came back. a flying creature,people talking,scilence,than the marks of an animal on the leather sofa and chairs. "i rember." she said "i woke up because i couldent sleep. i hurd a noise for m the common room so i went to check it out. when i cot there i hurd somehting that sounded like a really high pitched screak,than this hairy bird thing came out from the couch and flew towards me. it was huge! than it flew past...than it was quiet...i went down and everything was a mess...and the people were gone." she told the minsrty wizards. "if our going to talk to anyone it might as wll be me....let him go." she said nodding towards theo.


the wizards agreed to let him go. she sat there and awaited her questioning. "why were you out of bed?" said a witch.

"i couldent sleep. i wasent feeling great so i was heading to the bathroom just off the common...." she said. "i rember getting up at 2:00 in the morning,going downstairs to the bathroom than almost being attacked my that flying thing."

the witch wrote something down and said "ok hunny....another wizard will be with your shortly." and left her to sit there with her head in her hands. what had happend to draco...where was he....and what was that thing?

She-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Psycho! 10-29-2004 05:46 AM

As doves about breath, vulture to carrion - or journalist looking of a story -, the aurors were off Theo and onto Astrid in no time. Theo heard all of it, her recount of facts, with his mouth hanging open, not able to take every word of it. Was she inventing it? Or did she really saw a... hairy bird... it looks riddiculous! How would such a thing get into the Commons? Even if he was dismissed by the Aurors he didn't move. His hunger temporary forgotten, he paid attention to what was being said... "How?" was the only thing he could muster.

He turned momentarily, catching the eye of a Gryffindor girl who had found her way inside the Commons and had been unsuccessfully trying to call for Astrid's attention (that was, before Astrid was being harrassed by the Aurors). Just wait a sec! There was something wrong with this picture - Another one, and a Gryffindor at that! How can Professor Snape let it happen?

He turned to Snape and saw he didn't look to happy himself - though no one could say exactly of what about... He also looked kind of worried...

He catched Astrid's eyes now, seeing the worried look on her too. So it must be true, he thought. He decided he would have a talk to his Head of House later to ask for details and reassurance. He didn't know what to think or feel. He felt his space invaded, that is, with so many Gryffindors and Ravenclaws and Huflepuff peeking and entering! It was starting to get on his nerves - and, no, this is the last straw!

Was that... Ron Weasley? The Ron Weasley in the Slytherin Commons?!


(ooc: OK, this is the last action I make concerning other characters. From now on you are on your own ;) Fly my pretties!)

stardancer488 10-29-2004 10:39 AM

Marissa wasen't going to let some bossy slytherin push her around and be rude, she never did understand why Slytherin and Gryffindor hated each other so much, she never minded Slytherins but in order for them to be friends Slytherins had to have the same feeling back, which that was definatly not a answer. Slytherins basically hated everyone... everyone except fellow Slytherins, and even that was a stretch.

She sighed slightly "You know you could be a bit more considerate, seeing that someone at leasts cares what happened, I am not here for all the questions and interogating I am here for a reason. To find out what happened, with full acuracy. I could care less that I am standing in your common room!" she spat at him. And turned away, she was rather shocked with what came out of her mouth. She never spook like that to anyone, but... it was true. They always worry about there own house, there own life, there own space, and poesessions, nothing else. They need to open there eyes and maybe look out for someone besides thereself... she attempted to walk out of the common room, but heading in the direct opposite direction as everyone, was a task in itself.

Backslash 10-29-2004 07:06 PM

Ron Weasley had been sitting in the Slytherin Common Room for only a few minutes, having been summoned for...he'd already lost count, how many times now?...to recount what he'd seen. He looked distinctly unrested and fairly annoyed by now; the novelty of having told everyone his side of the story faded when the Aurors arrived. All he wanted to do was get back to the Gryffindor Commons to tell Harry and Hermione the news...which was probably old by now.

"Alright, boy," snapped the Auror grilling him for information, "Let's start from the top. You're Ronald Weasley, Gryffindor Prefect."

"Yeah," Ron replied wearily.

"Now, what were you doing, wandering around the school grounds so late? There's a curfew, you know..."

"As I said, I had Prefect duties. It was my turn last night to catch any students out of bed. By the time I was done, it was 'round eleven, and I really wanted to get back to the Commons to finish up that Potions assignment I'd left to last." Ron cast a careful glance in the direction of Snape to make sure he hadn't overheard the last bit. The Auror didn't seem to notice. "Do I really have to repeat the whole thing? I've said it about five times just to you...no offense, of course."

"Keep going," the Auror growled irritably, scribbling notes on his clipboard. "So why didn't you head back straight to Gryffindor Tower?"

"I was...hungry..." Ron admitted sheepishly as his stomach, on cue, growled rather loudly. He hadn't even had a chance to eat a decent breakfast. "So I decided to pop by the kitchens to grab a bite."

"An extremely long bite, if it took you as long as you said it did," growled the Auror.

"I was starved! And it's hard to refuse a banquet when it's laid out in front of you...anyway, by the time I was done, it was definately past midnight, so I hurried off back to Gryffindor Tower. Of course, I didn't get there, because this Slytherin boy comes tearning down the stairway off to my right, screaming like a girl in some kind of hysterics. I thought he was just causing trouble right there and then, or covering up for something he didn't want me to see, so I try to cut him off. Then he screams, 'A monster! There's a monster, right there!' and he points to this door. I take a look at the door, but when I do he runs right past me, at which point I think to myself, 'Ron, you've just fallen for the oldest trick in the book'.

"So I turn around and yell at the Slytherin and tell him to come back, but...I donno, maybe because he really looked like he'd seen something...sometimes you just don't know...I decided to check out this 'monster' of his. After all, he could be faking and his mates might still be in there, waiting for me to leave." Ron paused to breathe before continuing, becoming a little more relaxed now that he was telling his part of the story again. The Auror just kept scratching away at his clipboard with his quill. "So I take a good look inside this room...but it's empty. Nothing there at all. Okay, it was dark, but still, you can tell a room's empty when you see it.

"Which then makes me think now that the little git made the whole thing up to get himself out of trouble for being out so late. I run down the stairs and down the corridor I saw him run off to, to see if I could grab hold of him. Thing is, I'd spent so much time looking in that room that he'd gone. I figured that he might have decided to make it to his Common Room, so I turned around and then...well, I saw this thing...

"Describe this 'thing'," snapped the Auror.

"I was getting to that. It was...huge, and fast, heading for the Forbidden Forest. It was too dark to say what it really was...but I reckon it was a dragon, or something like it. That's all I managed to see before it dissapeared into the forest. Then I said to myself 'Ron, this is crazy. You'd better go get Professor McGonagall.' And that's what happened. Can I leave now? I haven't slept a wink since then."

"Just a moment, you. Do you know who that boy is, the one who saw the monster?"

Ron frowned. "He was kind of weedy...black hair and all...but yeah, I'd seen him before..." The Gryffindor prefect scanned the room and his eyes came to rest on Theodore. "It's that one over there," he said, pointing to the Slytherin boy. "Theodore Nott!"

Nott turned to the voice of a girl, the Gryffindor girl. He 'mmh'-ed at the speech. He didn't realized speaking out loud, but oh well...(ooc: actually, Nott was thinking that, not saying it^^).

"Well, I don't see Slytherin walking around your commons or rooms or invading your private space," he said. "I just found it funny that it's so easy to disrupt ours. How would you feel if a complete stranger, who you know for fact to think you are scum, came to take a look at your underwears!" He grunted, still cranky. "And it's too good you are a goody, nice Gryffindor and you care for everyone in this nice pretty world, but that doesn't mean it is like that with everybody. I don't think the students here "- he motioned the group peeking curiously -"are here because they care but because they like the gossips. You tell me if I'm wro --"

In his speech, he had forgotten about Weasley, but that was before he heard, loud and clear, the very same "Weasley Queen" uttering his name. Not only that! Weasley was pointing at his direction - it was him!

"It was you!" Nott said. "YOU were the one accussing me of being here, you -" The word that escaped his mouth was midly muffled between the shouts (luckily enough for him to avoid a week worth of detentions). At the same time he stood and started marching towards him, completely neglecting the Gryffindor girl now towards.

"Hey! Weasley," he said pushing his way though the crowd. "What was that about me screaming, you attention-seeking fool?" He was raging, swelling with fury, "You lier?"
