Default Spare Office


If you happen to try one of the doors near the end of the sixth-floor corridor, you might just find yourself in a handsome (if not dusty and aged) office of a surprisingly large size. The faint smell of crystallized pineapple seems to linger in the air of the room, which contains numerous side doors and nooks and crannies. Unfortunately for you, all of them remain firmly locked so there is no telling what lies behind them.

Although the room is devoid of any office-like furniture, or any furniture at all, there is still an impressive, but faded, rug before the large fireplace and long mirror hanging over that to boot. The spare office is still a cool place to hang out, practice some wandwork, or do some light reading. Just don't linger here too long because the allegedly esteemed former person that resided here was only fond of certain guests, of whom were one of his favourites and were only welcome to visit him in this office only as long as they didn't ask prying questions about specific moments in his past.

Non-verbals or wandless magic. She wanted to accomplish one or the other this year. Even though she didn’t have to worry about exams, she still had a desire to improve her wandwork. She had been itching to come back to school to practice magic and sort some… feelings things out.

Today, she opted on ignoring the feelings. She had placed her bag, filled with snacks in the corner, as she held her wand and tried Lumos. She spoke it aloud and then thought it- no, spoke it in her mind.

After fifteen minutes of practicing, she decided to take a break and slumped against the wall with her journal clutched in her chest. Lisa felt helpless. She hadn’t felt this way towards magic… like EVER.

He's always there when you least expect it.

Yumeki had took a quick detour into the spare office earlier in the day, coming from the common room. He was intending to use it to practice perfecting a patronus charm. He wasn't sure if he was gonna get anything corporeal. In fact he wasn't really aiming for that goal. He was just looking to see if he could perform it well enough to get those white silvery streaks to form.

Looking to take a break from the rigorous stress of having to think happy thoughts the 6th year Lion set himself up underneath the desk of the spare office laid down on his back and pulled his legs toward his chest and adjusted himself until he was comfortable in an awkward fetal position and shut his eyes for a quiet nap.

It was a good 10 minute nap until he heard the door creek open. He poked his head out to see who it was. Noticing it was Lisa he nearly chirped up to announce his presence but realized that she was totally focused on some of her own spell work herself. Not wanting to disturb he so that she could keep toe-to-toe with him in their pursuit of academic excellence (mostly so that when they got good grades hers were slightly better). It seemed that she was focused on doing non-verbal spells? He hadn't heard her say anything so it was a good assumption to make. Making a mental note not to try perfecting that himself so she would have the leg up on him.

He stayed put right where he was. Only looking directly at her once she came into complete view of him from the wall that was behind the desk. "Good Morning Li-chan"

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel had been searching for Lisa for more than an hour now. He went through the Library, study halls, grounds, and Great Hall. He'd even gone to the Ravenclaw Tower and asked a younger girl if she'd seen Lisa inside.

Wondering where she was, the Hufflepuff descended the stairs and turned left on the sixth floor. He continued down the hall and was about to take a shortcut behind a curtain when he remembered the spare office.

Daniel retraced his steps until he stood in front of the door and opened it, certain that he would find her inside.

He noticed she was seated against the opposite wall, clutching a journal against her chest. "There you are" he spoke as he walked into the room, the door falling shut behind him. "I've been looking for you everywhere" he stated, oblivious to Yumeki's presence behind the desk.

She let out the loudest sigh as she slid down the wall. Her eyes were closed at first but she opened them and stared up at the ceiling before she heard a sentence. She had been so lost in her own thoughts that such a simple greeting caused her to jolt in her sitting. Good Morning Li-Chan.

Because this was Lisa, a dramatic gasp was heard throughout the classroom. “AH!” He had surprised her. An easy smile was on her lips because she was glad to see Yumeki, he had just scared the very Myrtle out of her. “Oh Merlin, Yu-” she began but then was caught off by someone else coming into the room.

Daniel. Merlin… umm… Wow.

Talk about someone who would soon catch the eye of every younger year again. All her guy friends were ridiculously attractive these days. Must have been something in the water or pumpkin juice at the school. Her smile grew wider as he walked over and she forgot all about her frustration towards nonverbal spells. Instead, her mind was filled with questions. So many questions about his train ride that she wanted to know and a question that V wanted to know. About the hug. But wait… He had been looking for her. She could feel her ears getting warmer so she was glad she was wearing her newly blonde hair down that it could cover said ears.

She placed her journal on her lap and then brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. “What’s up? Come over and sit down next to me,” she said as she patted the spot next to her. “Maybe you can help me with nonverbals… Oh… Yumeki’s here too… I didn’t realize he was napping while I was practicing…

Her eyes flicked back to Yumeki and she looked down before nodding her head to the boy under the desk. “Hope I didn’t wait you, Yumeki-san. And sorry for jumping… I thought I was alone.

He should have expected this reaction. In fact it's a reaction he SHOULD expect with how he sleeps and where he chooses to sleep at (most of) times. Still though, he jerked his head up at her shout and banged his head on the underside of the desk "Ah!...Ow....ow" He spoke and recoiled his head inward. He couldn't grab the back of his head where it inpacted because of his current position so he just remained under the desk "ow...ow ow"

His eyebrow raised at the next entry into the Spare Office. Then he peered over at Li-chan who was now talking to them. Daniel? Daniel Yoon maybe? That made the most sense. "Yo Yoon!" Yumeki spoke up as his voice echoed from under the desk making it seem to the Hufflepuff as though his voice might be coming from nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

He shook his head gently at Lisa's concern. "No. I woke up when you entered. Didn't want to disrupt your work." Yumeki remained under the desk still not stuck, but it looked like he might be.

"ow ow ow"

Daniel walked towards the wall where Lisa sat and after he put his bag down, he took a seat on the floor next to her. He looked at her with his legs crossed. She looked beautiful with her hair blonde in his opinion. . "Well, I've been thinking about something and I'm not sure what to do with it. Something had occurred on the train and — He came to a halt as she informed him that Yumeki was also present. Daniel looked around the empty room and was about to ask his friend if she was okay when he heard his name being called.

He jumped a little at the unexpected greeting before turning his head to look for the source, which he eventually found under the desk. "I thought you were seeing things, Lisa," he said before turning to face the Gryffindor. "What are you even doing down there?" he asked

Practicing nonverbals? He was definitely up for it. He'd wanted to learn how to cast non verbal spells since he was eleven years old. "Wait a second , I have something we can use." He opened his bag and took a handful of feathers from it. These were not real feathers but they were made of wax. "I made these candles a few days ago, but I'm not sure what i should do with them," he explained. "We can practice some non verbal spells on these"

She winced when she heard the impact of Yumeki’s head against the desk. Ouch, that was certainly going to leave the mark. She thought about commenting but thought it would make it worse. She never appreciated people commenting after she stubbed her toe and was in pain. It made her snap more. So Lisa just frowned. Ow.. Ow…

Daniel was beside her before she knew it. If she knew that he thought that she looked beautiful with her blonde hair, she would have gotten all blushy. And he smelled good too. Why were all her guy friends turning more attractive by the minute? Ugh. She turned her gaze to him as he began to speak and she couldn’t help but lean a little bit forward when she heard him mention the train. How convenient! Maybe she could ask him why he just statued when V hugged him. “I’m all ears but I’d assume it was with a certain Slytherin?” she asked, hoping that Daniel caught on and that it was vague enough for Yumeki not to catch on who it was. “What… happened?

When he mentioned that she thought he was seeing things, she couldn’t help but giggle. “Y’know that’s not the first time I’ve heard you say that. Remember that one time in the Great Hall with the love potion?” She shook her head. “Or when I fell backwards and hit my head in the library…?” She was kind of used to him asking her that question by this year. She glanced down at her hands. At least, she could joke about it. “Now that’s a great question. Are you stuck, Yumeki?” He did look stuck to her.

She turned to look at Daniel as he fished something out of his bag. Feathers. Oh wax feathers. He’d let her use them too? “Thanks… These are cool.” She paused. “Maybe start off with a nonverbal Levitating Charm?” she asked.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Once Lisa and Daniel began chatting about Train things and hugging and Slytherins Yumeki tuned out for a bit. He managed to push a hand to the back of his head and rub the back of it. Luckily no lump. He wasn't particularly interested in drama and things and that seemed like where that conversation was headed. He pulled his hand back and started to inspect the back of it. Nothing had changed about the past millions of times he saw the back of it. Ah! No wait what was? Oh no that cut was there before just healing from right before summer ended. He let out a an Audible yawn in the middle of the two others' conversation.

"Nope definitely here... I exist" Practicing a different spell than Lisa, but he'll keep that to himself for now. "I was taking a really good nap."
He shifted a bit after responding to Daniel. "Oh! Li-chan. You're blonde again!" Not sure why he didn't notice that before. That would be a pretty obvious thing to see right off the bat.

"Nope." He responded about being stuck before actually trying to see if he could get out. See he already one hand out. He grabbed the side of the desk with the one free hand pulled out. It was definitely tighter than he had anticipated and there was some struggle in getting out but he was out. He sat upright and crossed his legs facing the two other classmates. He looked at the feathers that Daniel had out. "That's an interesting shape for candles." He reached forward and plucked one of the wax feather's from the Badger's hand and held it up in front of his face to inspect it. "Wouldn't these be heavier to levitate than a normal feather?" He didn't emphasis it outloud, figuring the two of them would understand his point.

He wasn't surprised Lisa had figured it out. Daniel wondered if V had already spoken to her or if someone else on the train had discovered them while passing by their compartment. "News sure travels faster than lightning here," he muttered before letting out a sigh. "But...yes," referring to a certain Slytherin. "Well, I..." Yumeki was clearly struggling to get out from under the desk, and the right thing to do was to get up and assist him. But this was the perfect opportunity to tell Lisa, and his own problem was clearly more pressing right now.

To be sure, he did lower his voice a little. "I know she hugged me... but I'm not sure why she would do that?" And why he had been thinking about that hug, or why he thought she had smelled nice? or that he was remembering her warmth for those few seconds. It was all so perplexing, and none of his books were assisting him. They were all expecting you to 'know' what this meant. "I mean, isn't it more common to thank someone by shaking their hand or nodding?"

Ah, yes, the Great Hall love potion fiasco. He remembered not warning Lisa about what was in the drink at the time, and now that he was older, he started to feel a little guilty about using her symptoms as a study. "I should have given you a warning about that love potion..." he muttered as Yumeki's voice was heard.

Daniel snorted before turning to face the Gryffindor. "Why would you want to sleep in such an unclean room?" he wondered aloud. " Besides, it's " he rolled up his sleeve to check his watch for the time. "It's 5:20 pm why are you even sleeping at this hour?"

While he was busy retrieving the wax feathers from his bag, Daniel looked up to see Yumeki nearing them and took one of the candles from his grasp.

Was he trying to imply that it was stupid or that he liked the design when he said 'interesting shape'? Daniel wasn't sure, but he did frown. "Yes, I wanted to make something other than the typical candle..." He said almost defensively,

The Gryffindor was correct that the wax feather was more difficult to levitate, but this only seemed to stir up the Hufflepuff's desire to try. "If we don't try, we'll never know," he said as he got up. " Besides, I need to get rid of those. You touch it, you keep it" he motioned to the wax feather in Yumeki's hand.

Or maybe my bubble powers have finally transformed into a cooler power… how to read minds,” she joked with a playful grin. It was almost cool enough to rival his power last term. Her eyes flicked back to Yumeki who had just commented on her new hair colour. “Thanks. I just did it this morning before breakfast. Colour charms are the coolest. I could be blonde in the morning and then back to my original colour before bed. Blonde… It’s pretty right?” she asked as she looked to Yumeki and Daniel for a comment. Then her eyes flicked back to Yumeki who was still stuck or rubbing his head. She was about to offer assistance but Daniel began speaking about it again about the train and V and hugs.

Oh Daniel. This poor, sweet, summer child. He could not warn her about a love potion but didn’t know how to break down the meaning of a hug… How could she break this it to him? She bit her lip momentarily. A hug can have a multitude of meanings… Like hugs… The Nam family was big on hugs. Her father had always been a proponent of hugs so Lisa was a hugger. “Well… A handshake or a nod may be good for classmates or acquaintances or business partners. A hug is for someone who’s a friend or more than a friend. Like if you got me a Christmas present and I loved it, I’d hug you and thank you because we’re really, really good friends. Some cultures are more huggy. Other cultures may thank people by giving them a kiss on the cheek,” she mentioned, searching for a reaction about the kiss on the cheek. “Or kissing someone on the cheek like that could be a way to send a signal to someone or attempt it like… you like them and are testing the waters or something.

Lisa paused. “Did the hug make you feel weeeeeeird?” she asked before glancing down at her hands and shrugging. Ah. The love potion. That had made her feel weird around him. She remembered fleeting moments from it… or maybe that was a dream? “It’s fine. At least it wore off… I’m sure it was rather memorable… I hope.

Yumeki always conserves his power…” she quietly added as she eyed the wax feathers. They were heavier than normal feathers because of their composition. She picked up a wax feather and ran her finger over it. She liked the smooth surface, the intricate detail. “Daniel, these are really good… Have you ever thought about setting up a side business here? I think these could be quite popular.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

"Would you consider doing more vibrant colors too? What about pink?" Yumeki loved the color pink, Lisa would look nice with pink hair. He nodded and smiled at her question if he thought her blonde hair looked pretty.

Wait what? The wax feather was Yumeki's now? What would he even do with it? "Really?" Yumeki said with a bit of surprise in his voice. He turned the feather around in his hand to see why it would be so easily discarded by it's creator? He didn't see any wick on this one, but maybe they weren't made to be melted? It definitely looked like a feather too so what was so defective about it? "What's wrong with them?" He leaned forward again about to shuffle through them all to see if any of them had something incorrect about their appearance or functionality, but stopped just short of grabbing any more of them. "If you do make a business out of this. I would suggest a different business practice of 'you touch it, it's yours now.'" Gotta make that money somehow.

"I do what now?" He asked Lisa, tilting his head to the side and pulling his legs in toward his chest resting his head onto his knees. "Oh!" He lifted his head in agreement. "Yes, if I'm awake for too long I build up lots of energy within me. Sleep'll conserve that power and I'm better able to control it after each time I wake up." This was a joke, Yumeki was making a joke. But it made him feel like a Manga Protagonist.

As for all about his sleeping habits. "It's not so unclean in here. Maybe a bit dusty. It's not like I'd sleep in the swamp." Though he had thought he saw a very inviting stump in there before. "Wait it's past 5 o'clock!?" Where did the day go!? Had he spent longer in here sleeping than he thought!? "Wasn't it Noon like...an hour ago?"

"[Idiot, you were going to get more practice in later.]" He grumbled to himself angrily in his native tongue.

What was the saying in english? Yumeki didn't have any horses in this conversation but he did chim in to agree with Lisa "Li-chan is right about that. In Japan hugging is usually more for those we consider close to us in an familial or intimate way." not that he cared really.

Daniel did what? Lisa was affected by a love potion and all he did was just let it run its course? That's awful! No honor at all! Yumeki should also tell him how to really beg for forgiveness in Japan as well. Shocked yet again with Lisa this time in how she was just brushing it off. He tossed glaring daggers at Daniel. Get on your knees and bow your head to the floor toward her Yoon.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel gave a light chuckle. He remembered the bubbles coming out of her mouth while she spoke last year, and he was grateful that Peeves had given him actual useful powers. "I'm sure you're relieved to be free of those bubbles" he said. "But I miss my powers though"

The Hufflepuff nodded his head in agreement with Yumeki. "He's right, you look good with blonde hair. You should keep it for a while before changing it." he said casually and shifted his legs so that they were stretched out in front of him.

"I don't think the professors will approve of her having pink hair during classes though" he said as he looked from Yumeki to Lisa. " But you can definitely have pink" not shocking pink but a soft pastel pink.

Daniel listened to his friend as she attempted to explain what a hug was. He was a bit annoyed that Yumeki chirped in as well though. When a kiss was mentioned, Daniel averted his gaze and pretended to be interested in the faded rug in front of the large fireplace. When she asked if he had felt strange, he rolled his eyes and scoffed. But if she were a true friend, she would see right through it. Because, yes, he had felt strange.

Daniel "tsked" when Yumeki asked if the feathers he had made were abnormal. They were near perfect thank you very much! "There's nothing wrong with them; I just made too many of them and need to get rid of them" He had another bag in his dorm room. And did he appear to be in need of money? How dare he suggest that! "We had a free period at Noon but a potions class after that" he said judgingly.

He took a wax feather and turned to face Lisa, who complimented his work. His entire demeanor shifted, and he even smiled. "Do you think so? I don't need the money or anything" He just wanted to be rid of them.

The Hufflepuff took his wand from his wrist holster, ready to cast a nonverbal spell, but he stopped before pointing it at the wax feather. He felt something he hadn't felt in a long time. Someone was staring him down. He cast a glance at Lisa, but it wasn't her. That meant.... he frowned as he turned his gaze to Yumeki. "What?" he demanded. "Bathroom's that way" he said as he pointed towards the door.

Question
Slytherindor ♛ The Crazytastic Besties ♛ Shan Watson ♛

Lisa was happy to be rid of said powers. “I am relieved. It really made me self conscious at times…. Ugh. Daniel. Your powers were so cool. You were basically a different variant of Spider-Man but with magic! Imagine if the comic book writers discovered your origin story! UGH. I should have written it…” she cried dramatically. “If only I were a better artist…. i can tell a story but drawing… not my thing. Can you draw?” She looked to Daniel first and then to Yumeki.

She was very, very pleased when both boys confirmed she looked pretty. Yumeki nodded and then asked a question. Daniel told her that she looked good with it. Okay, good meant pretty right? “Thanks,” she said as she looked down at her light pink converse. Her attention was caught back to Yumeki’s question. More vibrant colours? She had often opted for lighter, pastel colours. Vibrant pink? She had a bright pink wig. “I’d consider like a pale pink or a lilac,” she explained before smiling. And Daniel confirmed that she could have pink. “I could share it with you guys if you’d like. You never know pink could be your thing. Have to try pink at least once.” She half teased, wondering if either one were inspired to try pink “I once crashed a first year party with a bright babygum pink sparkly wig paired with white sunglasses. It was a statement but I think I’d opt for a strawberry blonde colour.” Maya had recommended that colour to her. She’d leave the bold colours to her brothers. They seemed to be able to pull off those kinds of colours.

He seemed to cotton on to her comment about his conservation powers. She chuckled at his attempted joke before she tried to process it. “Wait… shouldn’t it be the other way around? Like you build up power while you sleep and then you’re secretly Tuxedo Mask or a Pokémon trainer or some superhero?” she asked, tilting her head to the side.

Lisa’s eyes were on Daniel when he averted his eyes when the kiss was mentioned. She sighed, noticing him trying to be all tough and mighty. That eye roll received a poke in the side. Lisa looked at him and then looked towards the fireplace. Is he knew it did make him feel weird. Very weird. She wondered what kind of weird. Fortunately Yumeki brought the silence when he piped up about cultural things in Japan which caused her to flash him a smile. She looked back to Daniel who still seemed distant. “I shouldn’t have asked…” she said, looking away to focus on the feather that Yumeki had in his hand.

She tuned out as the boys began to talk about time but tuned back in when Yumeki spoke in his native language. She knew Japanese. She was conversationally fluent and his comment caught her attention. She’d have to ask him afterwards. “Practice what?” she whispered in her own native language (Korean). She had many questions.

Lisa’s comment earned her a smile from Daniel. “That or you can make a really nice gift for a- my birthday,” she teased as she restrained herself from saying a special someone. “I like eucalyptus, mint, amber, and coconut but not all together.” She paused, remembering a few business proposals and schemes she had organized before. The bracelet making one, etc. “I think so. Put them at the right price and it’ll be off like wildfire.

She stood up from where she sat and closed her eyes to focus on the spell in mind. Wingardium Leviosa. She repeated it a few times and then heard Daniel talking to Yumeki about the bathroom. She turned around to look at them with a concerned look.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

Was pretty sure he had seen a girl in this school for a few terms had super bright pink hair but then again he could have been seeing lots of things. Maybe it was a dream. "Sakura." He responded to Lisa when she said pale pink. "Pale pink like a cherry blossom. I would really like that. You would look pretty with that color Li-chan." He shook his head at her offer to change his hair color. "Sakura Pink is my favorite color, but I'm not interested in dying my hair or magicking it to look different." If he went home and his great-grandparents saw that pink hair they'd disown him.

"Oh! That makes WAY more sense than what I was saying." He held his hand up over his eyes flat over his face, then peaked his eye out from behind two of his fingers. "My job here is done!" He spoke trying to imitate Tuxedo Mask.

Daniel was a handful to be dealing with. "I wasn't saying they were bad. I was just asking." No attitude needed. "Just potions?!" He clenched his fist. He'll have to go to the Professor and beg for forgiveness. He can say he was ill, and then ask for some extra work to make up for the missed class. He was ashamed. Not worthy to be taking an form of Advanced Potions class.

He raised a brow at Lisa when she responded to his whisper but she spoke to him in Korean. Luckily in Himitsumahou they had some language classes and he learned a little bit of Korean while there. "nothing important now." He spoke back to her in a whisper but in English. They were gonna work on non-verbal spells and he didn't want her to think she should also start trying to a conjure non-corporeal patronus.

His glare did not falter on Daniel even when he snapped at him. "No, I'm fine. I'll just hold it in." He obviously didn't have to go. But he knew Daniel was telling him to leave. His response was so that Lisa wouldn't be concerned with either of them.
Not on his life now would he think it wise to leave Yoon with Li-chan.

Yumeki stood up and hoisted himself onto the top of the desk. Sitting down and crossing his legs he took out his wand and placed the wax feather in front of him. Not really thinking about trying to non-verbally cast or make the feather float, but he was swishing his wand flicking it at the wax feather.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

"It wasn't all fun, though" he admitted, recalling the objects that would get stuck on him at random times. "I mean, climbing on walls and ceilings was fun, but random items would stick to me and it was a pain to get them off." However, it was still preferable as opposed to having bubbles fly out of his mouth every time he spoke. "And I can't draw to safe my life" he snorted.

Daniel crossed his arms when Lisa mentioned pink hair and suggested they try it as well. "I'm not falling for that again; the next thing I know, you convince me to wear a dress again...." Last year's Halloween had not been fun for him ><.

While Daniel could understand Korean but not Japanese, he could only understand one part of the brief conversation between his friend and the Gryffindor. "What are you two discussing?" he questioned, his face puzzled as he looked at them both. "What practice? and what isn't important?" He didn't like being left out of the conversation!

What he did find amusing was Yumeki's concern about potions class. They hadn't had potions class today as all classes after noon were designated for self-study. It was amusing to see him panic a little, and the sixteen-year-old did his best not to let his serious face fall.

"You want this as a birthday gift?" he asked, turning to Lisa when she mentioned the feather. He was relieved that the topic of 'kissing' was fading into the background. "I'll....see what I can come up with." He said before turning to Yumeki. "...Do you want one as well or?" He wasn't bothered that he had to make them. It had been therapeutic for him, especially after the stress of his OWLs last year.

He hadn't meant to snap at him but Yumeki's glare had triggered a defensive reaction in him and he couldn't understand why he was being targeted again. What had he done?!

"All right... fine." he replied, rising from his seat as the Gryffindor sat on top of the desk. Daniel also pointed his wand at a wax feather, concentrating hard on making it move with the sheer force of will. He thought it had moved an inch at one point, but it was probably just a trick of the light.

"I had envisioned something more...grandeur." he said after a while of trying and failing to move the feather "Dueling is far more entertaining than this"

Lisa listened to him as he spoke about his powers from last term and her imagination ran wild as she tried to imagine him getting stuck to annoying things and people. The most comical one was that she pictured was his hands stuck to the table or to someone… Oh right. That almost did happen and she tried his hands off. Lisa chuckled. “Stick figures it is then..” she muttered.

Sakura was a beautiful colour. She nodded. “Like the cherry blossoms. Beautiful, crisp, and sweet,” she said. Her grandmother had a cherry blossom in her backyard on Jeju Island. Every March, it would blossom and it would be the most magnificent shade of pink. She did chuckle as both boys vehemently denied dying their hair bright pink. She wouldn’t press Yumeki’s for he seemed quite serious but Daniel’s comment earned a snort. Ah yes, Halloween and the emergence of Danielrella. Lisa raised both hands in the air and looked as innocently as possible- so innocently that if you looked at the blonde gaze above her head (thanks to the light) one could mistake it as a slipping halo. Teehee. “C’mon it was fun. You can choose my Halloween costume this year as payment for last year.

Glancing back at Yumeki, she listened to him as he mentioned that her statement made more sense. She fought off the Naturally statement that bubbled within her. Humility was grace… that’s what her sister would have said if she had been here. “Gasp!” she said with two hands on either side of her mouth as she pretended to be shocked. It was silly… but this was fun. Lisa intervened because Yumeki was panicking and Daniel was gloating. “Its fine.. if you actually missed it, I’d lend you my notes or offer his,” she smirked before shooting a look at Daniel.

Yumeki switched to English and Lisa raised her eyebrow at his response. She was about to speak up but Daniel had interjected trying to understand what was going on himself. “I’m not entirely sure. I think Yumeki was practicing something before… but that’s all I know.” If the Gryffindor didn’t wish to share, then she wouldn’t push him… yet.

She’d bring up the kissing matter at a different time because it didn’t seem appropriate right now. “Yes and a cuddle from Cat too?” she half-joked. She expected the best birthday present. Ahem. The wax feathers were a starter… but she figured that another girl would also like them. “Yeah! I think Yumeki or V would like them too. Great present for a friend, y’know?” she explained with a nonchalant shrug.

She looked back and forth between Daniel and Yumeki again with concern before turning around to focus on the spell at hand. Wingardium Leviosa… Wingardium Leviosa… she repeated in her mind before practicing the wandwork again. Just the same. She attempted it once, twice, and thrice.

No such luck.

She sighed. “I’m useless…

Wait. “Density. Density!” she cried out loud. Uh… how did she compensate for the larger density of this object? Think… Transfiguration principles. “Wingardium Leviosa,” she spoke out loud as she lifted the wax feathers up into the air and then lowered it.

Intriguing.

Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right.

So there wasn't a Potions class he missed!? Why would Daniel tell him there was a potions class after the free period!? "Arigato Li-chan."
Yumeki Kawatani did not miss a class. Much to anyone's shock that he could possibly oversleep and miss nearly all of them because of his terrible sleeping habits.
"I'm sure Yoon would gladly share his notes with me, but it won't be necessary."
His notes were probably better.

On the topic of Halloween costumes the Sixth Year Lion had a great idea for his costume thanks to Lisa. "I think I'll be Tuxedo Mask for Halloween this year." And what did Daniel think he could make Lisa dress up as?

"It's not important. Maybe later." he repeated again aloud for them both to hear and not in Japanese. He wanted to keep this patronus practice to himself. No need to make anyone do more work than they would have to. He certainly wouldn't mind less despite all the extra labor he gave himself to do, the hypocrite that he was. Everyone was so focused on their non-verbal levitations now after all. Though Yumeki still put little effort or thought into making his own wax feather float off the desk in front of him. He continued to swish and flick his wand at it.

He turned his head and looked at the both of them when Lisa recommended that He would like a Wax Feather for his Birthday from Daniel. "I've already got my feather from Yoon." He picked it up and showed it off. Remember he forced him to keep it. Odd way to get a gift from a Friend. Would he count Daniel as a friend?

Yoon says what now!? Yumeki shifted off the desk and stood up straight and looked serious. Less of a glare at the Badger but still focused. Almost like he was well rested too. "How good of a Duelist are you?" His hand gripped his wand with an excited anticipation. Maybe he could befriend Daniel Yoon.

He was going to protest at Lisa's insult on herself, but then saw her figure out exactly what he had thought would be the issue with levitating the wax feather. He was worried they'd all be focused on lifting it like it was real feather. Which were almost nearly weightless. "I Think you get it now, yeah?" Suppose sometimes being critical on yourself could be motivating. Yumeki smiled at her as he turned back toward the desk he just hopped off of still waiting to hear what Yoon had to say about liking dueling. He focused on the object and thought about it's density and weight.Without speaking he swished and flicked his wand and his gifted wax feather lifted a few inches off the desk. A grin creased across his face.

A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daniel listened to Lisa and Yumeki discuss hair colors. He wasn't keen on the subject, but he did enjoy learning new personal details about others. You never knew when you were going to need it. Although this information was pretty useless...

"Perhaps fun for you" He huffed as he observed Lisa's 'innocent' expression. He couldn't help but notice how the light above her cast a halo-like glow on her hair. He gave a short laugh. He wasn't mad at her, and if he searched deep down he knew that he had had a good time at the party.

"No," he said when Lisa suggested he dress her up for Halloween as revenge for last year. "I don't care. Just wear whatever you want."

"Tuxedo Mask?" he questioned, perplexed once more. "Are you going to put masks on your tuxedo?" or was he going to put little tuxedo's on his mask? Both images were ridiculous to him. Personally, he had considered dressing up as a pilot. It was basically a suit with a few extra patches.

Lisa, why did you have to ruin his moment? Yumeki had been falling for it that he had missed a class! He gave his friend an irritated look. "I don't take notes, they're all up here" he lied as he tapped his head.

The Hufflepuff rolled his eyes as Lisa casually mentioned that V would like the feathers too but then he looked worried for a moment when his cat was mentioned. He then masked his feelings and nodded. "Sure, if that's what you want for your birthday." She used to run around Hogwarts, only returning once in a while to prove she was still alive. But she'd been staying in the Hufflepuff common room lately, napping on the carpet in front of the fire. He was becoming concerned that old age was catching up with her faster than he had anticipated. The shopkeeper had never stated how old she had been when he bought her.

He was still thinking about his cat when Yumeki abruptly shifted off the desk and stared at him so seriously that the Hufflepuff instinctively shifted his stance, ready to attack him back in case the Gryffindor tried to attack him first. Instead, his question made him blink but eventually, he caught up and he grinned "I'm more than skilled"

He watched as Yumeki was able to lift his wax feathers non-verbally and a wave of jealousy washed over him. "Well done..." he commented dryly

Default Apologies for the delay!

I always have fun,” she shot back to Daniel as she flipped her hair fantabulously. She’d learnt that move from V. As a younger year, she had always wondered why her friend was obsessed with flipping her hair and now, she got it. It felt good to add a hair flip to the end of the sentence as a way of emphasizing a sassy remark. And she knew he did too. She grinned when Daniel didn’t take her up on the revenge for last year. “Thanks.” She had not been expecting said conversation to go that way.

She saw the irritated look from Daniel and chose to ignore it. She felt like it was too mean to tease Yumeki in that way especially since Yumeki prided himself greatly on classes, homework, and study.

Tuxedo Mask is a great choice! I can’t wait to see your costume. Maybe the greenhouses will have the ever changing colored roses. It could give a slightly different change to the classic anime costume,” she nodded, trying to picture it. Hearing his costume made her want to do one of the heroines from that series. Daniel’s response caused her to raise her eyebrows. “Wait.. Daniel… you’ve read Sailor Moon right? ” she asked with a tilt.

When Daniel agreed to what she wanted for her birthday, Lisa shrugged and pursed her lips. She had tried to convey him a particular message at V which she knew he got because she saw how LOUD that eye roll was. “Sure… or surprise me. Your gifts are always awesome.” She paused, wondering just how Cat was. She hadn’t seen Daniel’s cat in a while and she hoped she was okay.

Lisa heard Yumeki’s comment, offered him a smile, and then turned back to the task at hand. She, of course, had seen him perform the skill she wanted to but she didn’t comment. Instead she wanted to focus on her breakthrough. Wingar she began with her wand in the correct movement when she paused halfway at the comment about the duel.

You’re going to duel… in here?

Was that a good idea?

If someone asked her, it seemed like a stupid idea and she didn’t want detention so if they were… she was torn between watching and leaving.
