Brittanda and Ashiie Productions present...

{:Whimsical.Times.Ahead:}

{:The Plot:}

Gone are the days of darkness and fear. Times plagued with horrors and nightmares, torture and deceit. No longer does one have to fear their heritage, their lifestyle, their neighbors, because the Wizarding World has been living blissfully in peace. For twenty-five years, since the fateful defeat of Lord Voldemort by the heroic Harry Potter, there has been no sign of darkness, nothing that could get through the veil of safety and happiness cloaking the world.

Because of this, a new legacy is rising in Hogwarts. The Marauders had their legacy. Harry Potter and his friends had theirs. Now, a new legacy is taking their place in the school. Everyone knows who they are - they're not famous. They're just a little notorious for being loud and having parties and living up their lives. Who can blame them?

This isn't about their legacy, though. This is a new generation, a new group of students. Sure, no one is overcoming dark patches and evil dark deeds, but they're overcoming O.W.L.s, heart break, love blossom, friendship, and those nasty bullies. They're managing school and life. Parties and studying. Dancing and detention.

These are the peaceful years... live it up while you still can...

{:The Setting:}

The year is 2022, twenty-five years past the defeat of Lord Voldemort. During these twenty-five years has reigned peace and prosperity. The Ministry of Magic leads and does a wonderful job at protecting the people and keeping crime at bay, allowing good and light to continue to shine. Our RP itself takes place in the halls of Hogwarts, the ever-studious and academically inclined school of witchcraft and wizardy...

Hah.

This is one of those tales of coming to age and growing up. Of living your life the way you want and letting nothing come in the way. And also, of facing your fears. Because nothing stays good for long. Even the best apple can spoil...

The Headmistress is named Professor Natiya (Nat-ee-ya) VaamWront.

Gryffindor Head: Herbology Professor Catherine Hollis
Slytherin Head: Defense Against Dark Arts Professor Lliam Knowling
Ravenclaw Head: Transfiguration Professor Xavier Calling
Hufflepuff Head: Charms Professor Melanie Basalph (buh-saw-ff)

{:The.Rules:}

1. First and foremost, follow the Knockturn Alley RP Rules. If you refuse to, I will have you kicked out of the RP.
2. No Mary-Sues. They are not enjoyable characters. What is a Mary-Sue? A perfect character; flawless. Not every girl is wanted, not every guy is devastatingly hot. Give them flaws, it's less annoying and it makes them more likable.
3. No supercharacters. Therefore, no powers. Sorry. But most people can't handle them and they wouldn't be too important here anyway. You're not invincible, you're not going to avoid every attack. But, likewise, don't control another's character. Leave it up to them whether or not something you do affects them.
4. Literacy is a must. if u typ3 lyk dis, then you can't join. You don't have to type novels, but try to keep it a few sentances at least. Describe things, don't just state stuff. And please, try to write as if this is a school paper. Astericks somewhat annoy me =)
5. If you join, stay. RPs suck if not everyone follows through.
6. When joining, post a profile. I will decide from your profile whether or not you're approve ^__^ In this profile, include a RP sample. Please, NO characters related to Harry Potter and friends.

Care of Magical Creatures. I'll probably see you around!" He said, grabbing a last bite of toast before dashing out of the Great Hall. Gabe was always on time for everything and he wasn't about to let that slip.

About to reply that she also had Care of Magical Creatures since she was also a Ravenclaw, she closed her mouth when she saw him run off. He had seemed friendly before. Shaking her head, she got up from her bench and stooped down the grab her book bag from underneath the table. Slinging the bag over her left shoulder, she ran her hand through her dark hair and made her way out of the Great Hall and into the Entrance Hall.

confusion.girl · 06-07-2008, 03:04 PM

Cleo grabbed a piece of toast and jumped up from the table. What did she have first? Urgh. Care of Magical Creatures. Feeling rather put out, she took a bite of toast and dragged her feet out of the Great Hall. Popping the last bit of toast in her mouth, she tried desperately to tame her wild curls, before giving up and simply pulling a tube of Wonder Witch hair products from her bag. Putting the mousse evenly between her locks, she smiled. That did the trick.

Cleo yawned as she made her way out of the castle. It was a fairly nice day, and the only clouds were little white puffs in a sea of bright blue sky. Lovely.

Quote:

Ag! And then Hugo was talking to her again. Turning around to face him, she met him with a frown on her face.

"Hmph. Have you done something. Don't go acting all smug! Holy hot chocolate, you can't be dense. You're a Ravnelcaw after all! Unhand my best friend or FEEL MY WRATH!"

And there were her melodramatic antics kicking in.

Hugo was feeling slightly dispondent. His eyebrows shot up into his fringe as he was threatened with Mozzie's 'wrath'. "It appears that my hands aren't anywhere near her, Mozzie dear." He held his hands up above the table.

Quote:

When Hugo proposed to leave (Eeeek! He called her 'my love'! She could feel her insides melt and swirl around), Georgie pouted up at him. "Well, it's up to you, y'know. What if you haven't finished your brekkie yet?"

Hugo's blue eyes flickered back to Georgie. "I really think it's time I took my leave. It seems that your friends have taken a disliking to me." He winked at Mozzie. Hmph. She'd never had a problem with him in the past, just now him and Gee were spending more time together. "No, no! I've finished." He popped the last piece of croissant into his mouth and swallowed. There. Finished. Standing up from the table, he smiled brightly at Mozzie.

"What lesson have we got first?" Hugo asked Georgie quietly, waving goodbye to Boo and Co.

OoC: I be good with that. xD

"Care of Magical Creatures," Nolan replied as he shoved his schedule in his list. "Kind of a boring class but it's pretty interesting. Better than staring at tea cups and crystal balls like Mozzie." He shrugged, nonchalantly as he rose from the table. "You have fun in your class. See you round lunch or after classes then?

OoC: LOLZ! I believe our Quency would agree.

Not that he would ever actually say as much.... >.<

"I would have to second that," Quentin said as he reached for his schedule he had left on the table. Care of Magical Creatures really wasn't too bad. He would take it any day over herbology, but sadly he couldn't get out of that one. He nodded. "Absolutely. Enjoy Magical Creatures.."

Lexia_Black · 06-08-2008, 02:50 AM

Kate sat up abruptly, only to see a world of yellow.
"Stella! I've gone blind!" She fell from the bed frantically. Uuumph. "Oh!" All disabilities forgotten, Kate grabbed her lost Louboutins from under the bed. She scurried about the empty dormitory, pinning up loose curls and slipping into first pale, large-diamond fishnets then the Slytherin uniform.

"Stella, brekkie, now." She threw a ballet flat in Stella's direction before dashing down the stairs, slicking on mascara.

Kate hobbled into the Great Hall, slipping one foot after another into her cream Louboutins. She blew a stray hair from her face and clamped a bit of toast between her lips, then picked up her time table and Stella's. Her face fell. CoMC. Fabulous.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 06-08-2008, 06:27 AM

OoC: Hokai guys. We're gonna jump forward, yeah? I'm so impatient. And it'd be hard to play the classes LOL with different years and houses and all. So, yay switching, right? We're going to be about 4 pm in the afternoon and I assume dinner serves around 6 or 7. Later english dinners, you know? xD

Head reeling from the visions, Mozzie climbed down the stairs. So. Many. Stairs. Her bag had been abandoned in the Ravenclaw Common Room, books spilling out on the coffee table where she'd cermoniously dropped it, running off to see if she could find anything. Oh how she wished it was easier to get ahold of everyone. Sigh. Maybe this year they should create a meeting place? Hmmm...

Skipping wearily, she left the castle through the Great Hall, making her way towards the fountain. As usual, the air had a chill to it, the kind that wasn't cold enough for a hoodie but still made her skin crawl with goose pimples. Pausing, she bent down to tug on her brightly colored turquoise leg warmers, relieved that she chose to add them before classes.

Urgh. Classes.

In that scattered pile of books in the Common Room sat her homework, already on day one. Divination's Dream Journal wouldn't be so hard - she already remembered her dreams and often told Nolan them ("A dragon ate you, Nollie! It was awful!") History of Magic had a huge 3 chapter reading assignment and summary to do (which she despised. It wasn't even anything interesting). Multitudes of other things swam in her mind, making her feel vaguley depressed.

Her return to Hogwarts was supposed to fun! Not filled with the dispair of homework.

Looking up and glancing back at the fountain, her eyes widened to see Tristan already there.

"Oh! Well... when did you appear?" Her brows furrowed and she looked around, ribbons flipping in her hair. No. Really. When did he appear? And from where?

A casual shrug rolled on Tristan's shoulders and for a moment, a small smile passed over his lips, however so fleeting it was that had Mozzie blinked that moment, she would have entirely missed it. Already, he was seated on the edge of the fountain, long legs stretched out before him, slender arms supporting behind him.

"Maybe I've been here all along?"

The bewilered look that passed Mozzie's face made the corners of his lips twitch again. Heh. How easy to amuse himself it was. A slender hand raised up, long finger touching to his lips, as if to hide the desire to smile, or perhaps in thought.

"How were classes, then?" he asked, glancing up through his fringe and lashes at the girl.

Even with Tristan a close friend to Mozzie, she couldn't help but now and then be captivated by his beauty. It was so with all her male friends - Nolan never ceased to be so pretty, Tristan was always beautiful and even Quentin had a certain gorgeous on accident charm to him. How did she wind up with such amazing looking friends?

"Ahh, you know. Overbearingly exciting. I just can't wait for my O.W.L.s!" came her overly sarcastic reply.

A small smile crossed Tristan's face.

"Ravenclaw," he teased. "Have you seen the others? I imagine Boo will find her way out here soon. Her Tristan Sonar rarely fails."

Lexia_Black · 06-08-2008, 06:49 AM

Kate was beyond her cute pout. She was downright sour as she clacked her way through the Slytherin Common Room entrance. She dropped her bag onto the ground, so far from caring if anything broke, spilled, or ripped, that she nearly hoped so. She threw a small tantrum, stamping hard on the stone ground and kicking a tall, grounded candlestick. Her tirade took up a circle with two feet in diameter, but she needn't worry about it's caliber or space, as not a pixie was watching. Seriously. Did all of the Slytherins take a field trip to the Chamber or something?

Deciding to convince herself she wasn't a human repellant, Kate proceeded to look under each chair, couch, ottomon, gargoyle, and coffee table. Don't worry, you're not a human repellant, just barking mad. After looking under a particularly disturbing throne Kate came up for air to see a yawning Stella, gold silk bathrobe clad, walking down the stairs as if she was on a continuous catwalk, bed-head and all.

"You can't be serious."

confusion.girl · 06-08-2008, 11:10 AM

Hugo's mood was slightly lighter. Yes, he did have a stupid Dream Journal to begin on for divination and a foot long essay for Potions, but there was something that was making his mood bright. And that was that Georgie was in almost ALL of his lessons. Hehehe. It must be fate, right?

Walking quickly towards the Ravenclaw Common Room, he answered the silly little question correctly, and stepped into the room. Oh how delightful! Tristan and Mozzie had beaten him to it. So there was obviously no chance of a casual run around the room to drain himself of energy. He could already picture Mozzie's face in that scenario.

"Afternoon Mozzie, Tristan." Hugo greeted, plonking himself down on the sofa. And now for homework.

Great.

He couldn't remember the last time he'd recieved so much homework on the first day. Meh. Maybe the Ministry had sent out a degree that was on the lines of torture. It wouldn't suprise him.

"Is it just me who has got a stack of homework?" Hugo asked, wrinkling his nose.

Cleo stomped through the castle, her lips pursed into a tight pout. She wasn't amused. In fact, she was unamused. The sound of heels clacking against the stone floors was echoing around the corridors as she stormed towards the dungeons. Argh! She spat the password at the concealed entrance and walked into the common room.

OOFT!

Cleo went flying as she tripped over a huge, squishy mass that appeared to be crawling around on the floor. Arms flailing madly, she went crashing to the floor. Her blood boiled as she smacked onto the hard stone, and she scrambled to her feet in a flash of pale limbs and blonde curls. "What are you doing, Kate?!" She exclaimed, or rather, snarled.

What kind of idiot lay on the floor?

Kate obviously.

"And why are you wearing that?" Cleo added, gesturing to Stella's spangly bath robe. Goodness! Surely four in the afternoon was a bit early to be sneaking off to the prefect's bathroom. Yeesh. Kicking her heels off in a mad rush, Clo plonked herself onto the sofa. Her arms were folded so tightly around herself, she appeared to be one, big knot.

If her first appearance had not made it obvious, Cleo was in a bad mood. After just one day she had to draw a stinking Bowtruckle (what exactly was there to draw?), write a foot long essay for potions (who even cared what the properties of Moonstone were?) and some silly Dream Diary.

Pandalicious · 06-08-2008, 05:09 PM

Gabriel Richardson whistled quietly to himself as he walked through the silent halls of Hogwarts. It seemed like everyone was either in the common rooms or the library or in the classroom, begging their teacher to lighten the homework load already.

Gabe frowned to himself, it had seemed like the professors were a little harsh with their work. Adjusting his bookbag, he answered the Ravenclaw Riddle with ease and was soon admitted to the familiar and comfortable common room.

Gabe slung his bag down next to an easy chair near the small fireplace and sat down. He smiled at his fellow classmates [Mozzie, Tristan and Hugo were all in the common room]. "Hey Mozzie, Tristan, Hugo." Gabe said, sliding his Potions book on his lap with a quill and a blank piece of parchment.

"How was all your first days back at school?"

obsession8888 · 06-08-2008, 06:48 PM

Smiling to herself and skipping down the hall, Arianna hummed loudly as she made her way up the tower stairs. Classes were finally over for the day and she couldn't wait to just finish her homework and go take a nap. Reaching the common room entrance, she grimaced as she listened to the riddle that had been given to her. Thinking about it carefully, she answered and gave herself a mental high five as she was admitted into the common room for providing a correct answer.

Walking in, she stopped as she noticed the other Ravvies that were in the common room. Seeing no one she really knew, she sighed. Arianna made her way through the cluster of armchairs by the fireplace and chose one to sit down at. Dumping her book bag on the floor, she pulled out her History of Magic textbook and flipped to the assigned reading, attempting to focus on the chapter.

Kate rolled out from under the angry mass of...Cleo. Clearly, the sour grapes were being passed around. "Looking for my Manolos," spat Kate, which was more believable than the truth. She brushed her uniform off, and dropped into the chair who's underside she'd just been examining. It was a moment of hot silence that ensued between Clo and Kate before she noticed Stella, still standing there in all her night-robe-and-large-amount-of-yawning glory.

Kate turned on her, pulling off a stiletto to throw should she be right, and she was always right. "You slept ALL. BLOODY. DAY." It wasn't a question. In fact, it wasn't even a statement. It was an accusation that only a very tired, very annoyed, very homework laden Kate could conjure.

Stella cocked an eyebrow and pulled the lollipop out of her mouth to speak. "Jealous?"

Austin · 06-08-2008, 07:51 PM

Inez was suddenly very depressed. She didn't even end up stopping by the common room to drop off her bag, she just wandered around the castle in search of her friends. No, didn't skip. Just... wandered.

What a horrible day! In spite of all her opptimistic thoughts of what it was going to look like it ended up being a serious attack of her spirit! In Charms she had at first used the wrong end of the wand and then later couldn't get the stupid spell right. In Herbology she missed the review questions. And then Professor Calling snapped at her in Transfiguration for giggling at something that apparently wasn't supposed to be funny! Every class was just so sad!

She glanced in the Great Hall and gave an impatient sigh when her large blue eyes didn't spot them. Nezzy just stood there in the doorway for a few moments, frowning at where they should be. Finally she blinked then started looking some more. Outside maybe?

Squinting slightly, as though it would help her spot them easier, she made her way out of the castle. Geeze it was kinda cold! And it- YES! There was Mozzie and Tristan! At the fountain. Crankily, she marched herself over there and dropped her bag off of her shoulder, not caring that half of her things slid out.

"I hate school! I don't know why I was so excited!" She whiped out her schedule. "Do you want this? Huh? They should take it back 'cause I don't want it anymore. It's ugly and mean! And so are professors! I have a pile of homework bigger than my freaking face! No... bigger than my bigger than my freaking face! And I don't get it. I'm going to fail and marry a dim-whit and live a sad miserable life." Inez pouted and dropped down onto the grass next to the fountain.

"Where is everyone? Hmmm?"

Hermione_loves_Ron · 06-08-2008, 07:55 PM

OoC: Guyyyyyyyyyys! Tristan and Mozzie are outside. By the fountain. Tristan is a Gryffindor, he can't get into the Ravenclaw Common Room. =P I'll edit this later. Or something. LOL Just keep in mind, they're OUTSIDE by the fountain. =P

"Inez!" gasped Mozzie as the girl approached them. No energy drink? Bag still in tow? Long, frown-y face? The Inez Mozzie knew never frowned! Oh! She must truly be upset! "You look as grey as the sky," she said, tipping her head up towards the grey clouds filling the sky above them.

As she listened to the girl talk, she made all the appropriate noises of consolation. Poor Inez - and there she'd been all gungho about changing and making the Professors see she was in the wrong house. Granted, Mozzie never expected that Inez would blow them away... but still, it was disenheartening to see that it hadn't gone at all like she'd hoped.

Unfortunately, Mozzie was awful at consoling people. While she was good for cheering people up and listening, she didn't do well at consoling. Though she was a Ravenclaw, Mozzie could never find the right words to take care of the situation.

Fortunately for her, Tristan was with her, listening to Inez while he stared off, up at the clouds. When Mozzie failed to give any response other than the how grey the girl was, he looked over at Inez, looking up at her through his lashes again.

"Cheer up, Inez," he told her, voice low and quiet. "This is just the first day. 'Course we're going to have loads of homework - you just need to get back into the mood of school. It'll get easier, I promise."

Even though Inez tended to continue having her little ditzy moments, Tristan knew that if you said the right words to her, she'd at least smile. Or... that's how she tended to respond.

Dumping her book bag on the floor, she pulled out her History of Magic textbook and flipped to the assigned reading, attempting to focus on the chapter.

Flipping open his Potions textbook, Gabe glanced up as another Ravenclaw joined them. Hey, it was that girl he'd met at breakfast that morning. Arianna, Gabe thought to himself. He was sure that had been her name.

"Hey Arianna!" Gabe said in a friendly tone, waving at her from his seat near the fire.

Arianna looked up from her textbook when her name was called. Scanning the room, she saw the boy she had met earlier. "Hey Gabe." She greeted back, giving him a smile and a wave. "How are you?" She called to him, earning a few digusted looks from working Ravenclaws.

Not wanting to be glared at anymore, she picked up her heavy textbook from her lap and her book bag from the floor and moved closer to him. "Is it ok if I sit with you?" She asked.

ooc: LOL whoops.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 06-08-2008, 11:32 PM

With a grey cat in his arms, white paws laying limply in the manner that only a lazy cat can, Nolan strode into the Common Room cradling his cat. On his rounds, or at least, what he assumed had been rounds, for it was his first time and he'd figured wandering the halls and finding nothing harmful was good enough, he had found Dylan in the corner, front lowered to the ground, poised to pounce a toad. Having scooped the kitty up, the Prefect had made his way to the Common Room to relax.

As he entered, he noted that Mozzie had already been through - there was her bag on the table with all her belongings spilling out. Sigh. He'd have to make her pick it up later when she made it back. Glancing around, he found that Hugo, Ari and Gabe were already congregating. Giving them a nod, he seated himself and curled up in an arm chair, with purring Dylan cozying up to him.

"'Lo, everyone," he greeted them, raising one hand and waving at them with a two finger flick. "Done with classes?"

--------------------------------------------------------------

Flipping his hair from his eyes, Ollie paused in his walk to glance out the window. He'd seen her in class. Hannah. There she'd sat in Charms class, looking as gorgeous and angelic as ever, sweet yellow hair falling down her back in those pretty little curls he'd always enjoyed tugging on. But her beautiful blue eyes looked so sad, so very sad, though her mouth attempted a smile and her voice emitted that twinkling laugh when her friends joked with her.

Stupid Tatsu Szabo! Stealing away Hannah, his sweet love Hannah, only to break her and toss her away! Anger welled up in the small boy as he glared out the window, fingers curling into a fist as he eyed the rippling water of the lake in the distance.

How was this fair to him? Everytime... everytime Ollie ever cared for anyone, that stupid Szabo always came and pulled them away. And how he continued to mourn.

(That is. Until someone else would come along.)

Gabe raised his eyes as a few other scattered Ravenclaws glared at them. He understood that they wanted to get their work done (as did Gabe!) but seriously... they didn't have to be that harsh.

"I'm allright. Got a load of homework already." Gabe whispered as Arianna scooted closer to him, to avoid the glaring and shhsing of the other students. "Yourself?" He asked, glancing casually down at his homework to write his name neatly in the upper right-hand corner along with the day's date and the assignment name.

"Of course." Gabe replied, moving over a bit to give the girl more space. He raised his hand in welcoming gesture and smiled as Nolan entered the common room next. "Hey Nolan." Gabe greeted the fellow student. "Yup. And thank goodness too. It was a grueling first day for me." He admitted, "How about you?"

obsession8888 · 06-09-2008, 12:13 AM

"Lots of homework too." Arianna said, gesturing to the massive History of Magic textbook that she was resettling in her lap again. "The professors seem to be really uptight about the homework assigments this year." She said, sighing and running her hand through her dark hair. Flipping through the chapter that she was supposed to read, she wished there was a way she could get someone to read it and summarize for her.

Hearing someone else join them, Arianna looked up at the newcomer. "Hi Nolan." Arianna said shyly. She had never been introduced to him but she knew who he was. "Yeah. Thank god." She said in reply to his question. "How were classes for you?" She asked, looking down and memorizing the page number of her History textbook for later.

And at last, the nightmare that were classes was over. Not that Roisín paid that much attention to any of them, for she was far too busy anticipating the evening that was approaching rapidly while doodling all over her parchments, which was quite hard to do since she was using a quill and quills are not the best of friends when it comes to drawing. Not at all.

Nevertheless, she did not care if the drawings were ugly or if the teachers caught her for all that mattered was the evening ahead that she'd spend with Ollie and the moments of loneliness by the lake with her watercolours. Yes, that was all that she cared for at that moment.

And so, once she got rid of her school things, she picked all of her painting utensils and walked towards the grounds. Ah, that would be the day she would finish the painting she had been working on for far too long and something told her that she'd be able to make it look extraordinary for it had to match the day she was living.

Upon reaching the lake, Roisín laid her things carefully on the floor and uncovered the canvas she had been working on. So, the sky was already done and it thankfully matched the one there was that day, so she wouldn't have to change the colours in any way. And that meant one thing: the next thing to work on was the lake itself. Hopefully, the colour of the water's surface would look as deep and attractive as Ollie's eyes...

OoC: Eeeeeee! I just LOVE Stormy!! -squeezes him!-

Grey?? On top of everything else she was turning grey?! Her eyes suddenly got very glossy, looking almost like a sad cartoon-like kitten. She looked like she was about to spew the unwanted tears! Weren't trolls grey? Gasp! She was turning into a troll!!! And she thought the school day was depressing.

Oi. Now she wanted her pumpkin socks. They were so happy! And the little dancing pumpkins sang a little toon too! That was... if you poked them the right way. So cheeeeery! Ahh! No. She couldn't wear them because then they would become very sad pumpkins and they would stay sad for forever more!!! Then they would hate her and she would feel guilty and the pumpkins would never make her feel happy again.

Her frown deepened even more. A grey troll. Without dancing pumpkin socks! She bit her bottom lip as many seriously depressing thoughts crossed her mind in the silence.

And then Tristan was talking! Inez looked up again, hoping he wasn't going to say her hair was turning into baldness. She blinked. Happy news! Or... that's what she thought it was...

"Really??" A more hopeful look. Even a hint of a smile! He did promise, so it had to be true. Plus, Tristan was pretty smart the way she saw it.. "You're not thinking of taking back that promise are ya? Because... You just can't. It's against the rules."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Classes were finally over. He could cross day one off. And techniqually that could count as the worst day. Okay, not really... All optimistic thoughts over. Optimism was never Quentin's thing. It's why he had Inez and Mozzie even!

Silently, he meandered his way through the halls and back into the common room where he found Nolan, Gabe, Hugo, and Ari. "Hey," he said with a low, soft voice and a small lift of his hand, glancing at the four of them. There was a small hint of a crooked smile as he set his bookbag down, but by the time he looked up again it was gone.

He thought for a moment about going off to look for Inez and everyone else, but that could possibley be rude... And Nolan was here. It couldn't be that awkward. It's not like he didn't know Ari, Hugo, and Gabe.

With an inward sigh he took a seat on the couch.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 06-09-2008, 08:26 AM

OoC: Awwwwww! You didn't play aloooong! You were supposed to send Quentin to Mozzie! -giggles- I'm too impatient for my own good. Teehee. And yes. STORMY! Stormy! <3 Heehee. He's better at consoling people than Mozzie. And oh, BLESS INEZ! How I love her! She made me el oh el with that. -hugs her- Eeeek! Quentin! A CROOKED SMILE! -wheezes-

Ohhh. Have a lookie! Doodles013.jpg - Image - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting :3

As solemnly as he could, Tristan raised his right hand to his heart, pointer finger extended, and drew an "x". He was good with children. And Inez's.

"I promise I won't take my promise away," came his assurance and a half smile appeared on his lips, the hint of his dimple a faded shadow on his cheek. "But you've gotta try hard, too, okay? Homework doesn't magically become easy - put forth the effort and suddenly it will start becoming easier for you."

At least she looked happier now. Better than her starting to cry. Had she done so, Tristan probably would have stormed into the Ravenclaw Common Room, password or not, and demanded Quentin's location and that the boy fixed her. In fact... comme to think of, Tristan wondered how Quentin did console Inez. Quentin didn't really strike him as the type of boy to get all sentimental and hug-y. Hmm.

"You feel better now? It's just the first day. Don't get too worked up about it."

Huh. Mozzie smiled and rocked back and forth from her toes to her heels, hands clapsed behind her back. Look at that. So Stormy actually showed his sentimental side. It was seen, sure. Just not often. There were those times when a very upset Boo would crawl into his lap and he would hold her against his chest, or when he had to console her while she was crying and it involved him buttering her up and telling her all her good points. But to see Tristan show that side to someone other than Boo was more than shocking for her.

"Look Inez! Your color is back!" Mozzie cheered, unaware of how happy that statement would undoubtedly make Inez. She probably didn't even realize that silly Inez had taken her last comment to heart and feared her impending life as a troll. "And remember? We have a study group that we can do, too! With dancing and homework!"

Though Mozzie had a multitude of brothers, she never had learned the act of consoling and sometimes her tact was a little ticky. Even still, she tried her best to help and offered a brilliant smile to Inez, hoping to see one in return.

---------------------------------------------------------------

A greeting was nodded at everyone - Gabe and Arianna. Which was hard, considering the curled up position the Prefect was in. What he wanted was sleep, but he knew he ought to wait for Mozzie to return. If only to tell her to pick up her bag and books. Where was she, anyway?

"Classes were... yeah. Rough. Reviews. Homework. Foot of potions. Lots of it. It's insane and grueling and you'd think they would go easy. It's just the start of the year."

Why did classes get so much harder as it went?

"Afternoon, Arianna," he greeted the girl as he closed his eyes, content to lay there with his purring Dylan.

...maybe Mozzie was with Quentin?

Alas, that theory was shot when Quentin entered the Common Room, Mozzie-less. Opening one eye, Nolan peeked, hoping to see her, but no, she wasn't with him. Hmmm... he figured she would already be curled up in here...

"Hey," Nolan replied back, closing his eyes as Quentin sat down. For a moment, he was quiet, scratching behind Dylan's ears, before finally, tipping his head slightly towards Quentin, he asked "Have you seen Mozzie?"

Hehe.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

For Ollie, it was so easy to get caught up in a reverie. Elbows planted on the window sill, he held his face in his palms, letting his hair dip into his face and obscure part of his vision. Because all he could see, right now, was sweet Hannah and her sad disposition. He knew so very well that she wouldn't even look at him - she was the type of girl who pretended you weren't in existances after she'd broken up with you. Ollie liked to pretend that it was because deep down she still cared and didn't like to see him hurt, though the truth inevitably was that she probably just couldn't bear to see him hurt and because she had no feelings for him, she made a point to ignore him.

But Olliver Stratton did not think such a thing. In his mind, he wanted to believe that Hannie still clung to a piece of her affection towards him.

When he finally shook himself of these thoughts though, with heart raw and tender, as if he'd poured alocohol into an open wound, he shook his head, feeling bitter. Bitter towards Szabo for stealing away his love with seductive words and hollow promises. Sweet little words that all girls yearned to hear.

Free of his momentary day dream, though, the memories of his stolen love, Olliie's eyes swept over the lake, momentarily dazed with the way the sun danced upon the water's surface, when he notied a figure out beside the lake. And he realized, with the way the sun caught the red hues of the hair and they bounced in a golden glow, like an illumination from the heavens, that it was Roisín with the paints.

Padie · 06-09-2008, 03:20 PM

Placing a strand of hair behind her ears, Roísin sat on the green grass and started her work. Paintbrush in hand, she picked the colours without much or any thought. It was amazing how easily she could get out of that world and dive into her own of colours, beauty and nature. Once that happened, not a single thought would occupy her mind, up to the point that many were the times that once she got up to leave, she'd look at the canvas and be surprised with the result.

This one time would probably be no different even if the girl wished to remain conscient while painting so that she could, for once, say that it had been she the one to paint and not her rebellious hands.

For the first time in a long time, she managed to keep focused in her hands for it didn't take long until a thought popped on her head. Apparently, the fact that she'd be with Ollie on her own in a few hours was of such importance to her that she could not truly get mentally numb.

What could he want to do with her though? He had mentioned her hair and inks, hadn't he? She had been conscious enough at the time to absorb those words, even if her eyes were too busy taking in every single detail of his face. Oh, his gorgeous face! If only she could do justice to his beauty she wouldn't think twice about painting him, but she knew that it was impossible for her to mimic such a perfect being. Completely impossible.

Austin · 06-10-2008, 05:01 AM

OoC: Ahh! Frizzle frats! -snapspouts- How didn't I catch on?? Hmmm... Now to get him over there... LOL! And YESH!!! Stooooormy! He's making Inez so happy and EEEEEEk! He crossed his heart even! -squeeeeeeee!-

ZOMG! I luffffff it! -clings!- Quency is SO wishing he could dance with Motzie. -cough cough- As long as no one's watching.. >.< And your drawing is NIFTY! lolz. Mine is... stick figures. xD

Inez smiled as she watched him. He crossed his heart even! AND promised on his promise. He was so super serious! She couldn't just not believe him! Impossible. And then he even smiled on top of it all, which clearly was contagious because Inez's smile turned into her usual grin!

"I can do that. At least I think I can!" By now she was practically beaming! So basically, she was her normal self again? One could only hope. "Well.. Actually," she started, thinking aloud. "I don't get lots of it, so I ne-" No! She wasn't going to ask for help. Being Inez, she didn't usually like to ask for help until it was absolutely necissary--as in when her brain cells felt officially fried.

Nezzy ignored her abandoned sentence then nodded a spazzy, overly cheerful nod. "Mmhhm!" She said, clutzily getting back to her feet and running over to give him as huge a hug she could manage. Tristan wasn't one of the people that she hugged often since he never came off as the most touchy-feely, snuggly type. But she didn't care as of this moment. He made it so that she was back in the mood for pumpkin sock wearing! "Thaaaaaank yoooou!" Said the snuggling Inez as she gave him another squeeze.

"Oh!" Finally, she pulled away from poor Tristan but kept her hands on his shoulders. "Do you want one of my bendy straws?" Blink. "I have a lime green one too! You can have that one if you want. Or one of the blue ones! I can even stick a flower in it too." She felt that she should do something nice... Was that nice? She really liked her bendy straws in her drinks. Maybe not with the flower, but it could be a nice touch!

She continued her blinking, stare in anticipation of a 'a bendy straw?? Yes!' Oh how off she just may be... But color! Color was brought to her attention. And party, studying. "Eeeeee! Mozzzzzie!" She jumped over to her and gave out another big hug. "My color? You mean I'm not a troll anymore?? And partying!!!! I forgot about the dancing!"

A high pitched Inez squeel came excitedly with that. Oh how she loved all her friends!

============================================

Silence. It really was a virtue... Quentin loved those moments, at least most of the time. They could be bad. It could be awkward sometimes... But that part was easy to get over.

But moments of quiet never really lasted. He looked away from the fireplace and tilted his head toward Nolan, with the slightest hint of a suspicious expression. Was he trying to hint at the whole Mozzie thing like this morning again? Gah he hoped not. If so, suddenly the whole just dropping his stuff off and leaving option sounded loads better.

"Nope. Haven't," finally answered Quentin, looking away again. Where was she? Well... Everyone, really. Probably all with Mozzie, he could assume? Maybe he should go look for her--them... Or should he just wait..?

"Have you seen Inez at all today..?" he asked, running his fingers through his hair, making it stand in the wrong direction for a few moments before it fell into his eyes again. He hadn't seen her since lunch and she wasn't exactly in the mood she had been in to start the day. Hadn't been a horrible mood, but he wanted to make sure her day had been okay.

Hermione_loves_Ron · 06-10-2008, 05:43 AM

OoC: My fangirling is going on here on MSN too but I can't help but gush here. INEZ IS SO CUTE! -squeals- I adore her. Oh, bless! A troll! Eeeee! What a cutie!

And Quentin. Heehee. Oh heeheeheeeeee. You shouldn't care who's watching. DANCE WITH MY GIRL! xD

As Tristan had figured, Inez was rather easy to cheer up. Not that he was calling her simple minded but... to be honest, Inez kind of was. How Quentin had wound up with her as a best friend, he didn't exactly understand and it boggled his mind to try and imagine. In fact, Tristan didn't even remember what Quentin was like as a first year - had he always been so quiet and introverted?

As he contemplated this, though, he was caught up in a reverie and didn't notice Inez approaching him and suddenly he was caught in a hug, a big snuggly hug, by the girl. Naturally, he was taken by shock and froze slightly, arms extended around her, though not touching. Was he supposed to touch? The only person he hugged was Boo! Awkwardly, he patted the girl on her head.

"Heh well... it's good to see you're all happy..." he stammered. This was not his strong suit. He was the strong, silent type!

Even still, Inez didn't fully pull away and he sat, stiff and awkward still, as she kept her hands on his shoulders. Where was Quentin to call her off? Ag! Quentin! Curses to you!

"Ahh then... you don't... you don't have to. That is, you don't have to. I don't need anything in return, Inez. But, thank you."

This is what happened when he intervened.

Mozzie giggled and pranced around, skipping happily. Oh! Joys! Inez was being Inez again and she didn't look like she was ready to burst into tears! A moment where Inez was grey was odd and weird and it just seemed wrong.

Her skipping ceased though and laughter picked up when Inez approached her and engulfed her in a hug. Shaking her head, she giggled.

"A troll?" What? "You were never a troll! Now you're all lovely and happy and yaay! Party and dancing and studying! You'll get all O's! Yaay!"

Taking care of Inez was much like taking care of a little child. Hmm... she couldn't tell if this was good or bad. On the one hand, it meant that Quentin went through a lot of work. No wonder he always seemed sleepy and curled up in the Common Room. Hehe. What a sidetracking thought - sleeping Quentin was kind of cute. He looked all little and kind of vulnerable and now and then she wanted to go play wtih his hair.

Heh.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Again, Nolan uncomfortably shrugged his shoulders, hugging Dylan tighter and pulling him closer. The cat let out a disgruntled MROW! but Nolan didn't release his grip. He felt exhausted and sleepy in the way that made him want a nap but no! he just couldn't!

Quentin's reply came short - what did Nolan expect? Like Tristan, Quentin wasn't really the chatty type and he often said less than what needed to be said. And, to be honest, Nolan didn't really want to hear Quentin gush about Mozzie. It was just his protective senses kicking in that made him want Quentin to admit it. Following that, Nolan would proceed to explain to Quentin how he'd better not do anything to Mozzie.

Haha!

Nolan felt far too much like Mozzie's father sometimes.

The inquiry about Inez made Nolan open one eye again. "...no. Haven't seen her. Maybe she went back to her Common Room? Think she's started on all her homework yet...?

Inez did want to turn over a new leaf...

It was a moment of hot silence that ensued between Clo and Kate before she noticed Stella, still standing there in all her night-robe-and-large-amount-of-yawning glory.

Kate turned on her, pulling off a stiletto to throw should she be right, and she was always right. "You slept ALL. BLOODY. DAY." It wasn't a question. In fact, it wasn't even a statement. It was an accusation that only a very tired, very annoyed, very homework laden Kate could conjure.

Stella cocked an eyebrow and pulled the lollipop out of her mouth to speak. "Jealous?"

Cleo scowled at Kate. How dare she even think of talking to her like that? Honestly, she had NO idea how lucky she was that she was Clo's friend. Pfft. In fact, she was extremely lucky that wands had not been whipped out there and then. Stupid Katherine, Katie, Kate...meh whatever. Names had no importance!

"Oh stop being such a drama queen." Cleo drawled, rolling her eyes and filing her already perfect nails. "You're not on the stage now, dear." She sniffed, and lifted her chin slightly. It was proper that Kate knew that missing Manolas was NOT an excuse for parading around and tripping people up.

Jeez.

Cleo eyed Stella curiously. "Stella, answer me!" She squeeked, the lines in her brow deepening, until it appeared that they were carved into her marble skin. "Why are you wearing that?" She asked again, her lips pursing. Yikes, was the girl deaf? Eh. Whatever. Cleo Monique Elmer certainly didn't wait around all day for her so called friends to answer her. Duh.

Austin · 06-10-2008, 11:35 PM

OoC: LOL! -prods our Quency some more- And Eeeeepp! Stormy and all his awkwardness!!! It's just too CEEE-UTE! -breathes in a paper bag- xD

Inez pressed her lips together absentmindedly as she listened to Stormy's stammering, completely oblivious to the awkward air that he was clearly inhaling like one might with helium in a balloon. Did he normally talk like that? She didn't think so... How wierd!

And then, on top of his oddness he didn't want a lime green bendy straw! Gasp! Helloooo! It was lime green! Was he insane? They were the coolest little things on the planet, right along there with Mozzie's nifty poko-dot bows and her, getting chubbier by the week pug, Girard! "Ohh... I suppose it's just your loss then.." But a smile appeared on her face again. "You're welcome!" She stuck a pale finger up in the air to add an, "But if you ever want one to go with your soup or something you can just ask and I can have it saved for you if you like!" Maybe he'd change his mind later...

Hehe

And then Mozzie was giggling! Why was she giggling, huh? Trolls were just yucky, not funny. But as her usual, Nezzy giggled too.

Never a troll? But she was turning gray! Trolls were gray right? Or was that those other things. Like Booogots or something? OH! Maybe trolls were GREEN! "Well what is gray then?" she asked, blinking with curiosity. But she quickly just giggled that off too. "Realllllly?! All O's from fun stuff!"

The whole concept just blew her mind. So much so that it deserved another high pitched squeel, some jumping around, and a "Eeee gads!!!"

===========================================

Quentin let out a small half-laugh. Or... a snort? He could never in all of the years he'd known the girl picture Inez sitting alone in a common room, working on homework. It just... It couldn't and most likely wouldn't happen. He did believe that she was capable of pushing herself and setting goals of working harder, but it still wouldn't go that far... Even with her current healthy thought of 'blowing the professors away with her smartness'. Work ethic (to say the least) just wasn't her strong point.

He shook his head. "No... Probably not. 'Nez certainly likes her breaks..." Plus the fact that she was way too much of a social butterfly to stow herself away in a room that she would consider dark and gloomy without everyone else there to chat with. "She wouldn't go straight into it after class without an energy boost and... gabbing." He finished with a small glance at the fire place.

More silence.

"Did you all get a lot as well? Of homework, I mean.."
