The Ravenclaw common room is a wide, circular room at the top of the seventh floor. Graceful arched windows punctuate the walls, which are hung with blue-and-bronze silks. During the day, Ravenclaws have a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. Overhead, the ceiling is domed and painted with stars, which are echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. There are tables, chairs, and bookcases, and in a niche opposite the door stands a tall statue of white marble: Rowena Ravenclaw. A delicate-looking circlet has been reproduced in marble on her head with the tiny words 'Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure' etched into the diadem. The statue stands beside a door that leads up to the dormitories above.
Come in, have a seat and make new friends. Welcome to Ravenclaw!
Please stop with the OOCs. Makes the prefects cranky.

"Oh dear. The first years. Great impression those two had on them," Livvy said, snorting and just shaking her head. But she had to admit, the show that the two boys had put on had been quite delightful.
Turning her head to look at Copernicus from where he now sat, she listened to him as he told her that he wanted to hear every ridiculous detail of her summer. Oh merlin. Did he really? Why were those two brothers always trying to pry into her BEESWAX?!
But this was Copernicus. Not Plymouth. No offense to the boy, but Livvy would never dare share her summer to him. She loved him and all... but yeah... she would never think of sharing it with him.
Biting her lip, Livvy looked at Perni with a rather serious look. "You sure you want to hear every single ridiculous detail?" she asked, unsure if she should tell him about all the horrible things she had done over the summer and how blind she had been. Should she tell him that she was a monster that didn't deserve to be liked or befriended?
... Shaddup Livvy.
Cope gave Livvy a serious look, accompanied by a shake of the head. "Liv, haven't you figured out that I don't say things I don't mean? Every. Ridiculous. Detail."
It would help him keep his mind off the fact that he was being an idiot over Celandine, about his worries for his seventh year, about his guilt over not giving Livvy enough attention... he wanted to just focus on his first Hogwarts friend and give her all the focus she deserved. Truly.
This will work, it has too he thought to himself as he nodded, grinning slightly as she held the hat over her head. Bending down once more, he retrieved the solid black notebook from his bag, the one he used solely for experiments and notes and nodded as he took the normal looking muggle pen from behind his ear. "I'm ready when you are Miss Lulu." he replied, using her super hero name instead of her normal one.
Aw, the young one continued to use her superhero alias!! What a nice, respectable young man. Lucy...er...Missy Lulu liked that! Good, good, good. She watched as he prepared himself with a muggle pen and notebook, and nodded at him. Right-o. Lucy was now ready. She took a deep breath, let it out, slowly putting the hat upon her head. She suddenly started a countdown.
"One...two..three!!" Lucy instantly put on the hat...but felt no different. Except for a slight tinkling sensation, as if her head was being tickled, or...just something was happening to her head. Huh. Were those the antlers young William referred? As she could exactly find a mirror right away, she looked to William for his opinion. "So! How do I look? Do I look just as you'd expected?" she asked, smiling, suddenly remembering that her head was invisible. Surely he'd be able to hear her, right? Riiiiight...he should. Or something.
She then decided to reach up to her head, and...okay...there were the antlers. Huh. Cool!! It was really cool to have antlers for a little while. Instantly, she decided to take off the hat to see if she'd become visible again and to see if the antlers would disappear. She sure was visible...but so were the antlers. Um...
She put them back on. Now she was invisible...still, with antlers. "Willlliiaaaaam!! What's happening?" She continuously took it on and off, and could always feel the antlers on her head. OH. NO. SHE. HAD. ANTLERS!! Not that it wasn't cool, and all, but...ANTLERS?! AAAAANTLERRRRSSS?! What had he done?!
SHE HAD A PAIR OF ANTLERS ON HER HEAD. Wide-eyed, and beginning to freak-out, she took William by the shoulders and shook him. "FIX IIIIIT!!" she exclaimed. Well...there's the risk. And...she risked it.

As she put the hat on her head, he immediately began to write down notes, walking around her to make sure her head was completely invisible. It was kind of easy to spot her since her body was still visible, and he approached her, his eyes looking for anything out of the ordinary. Besides an invisible head that is. With a little hmming and awwing, he nodded, jotting this and that down on the notebook before seeing the antlers. "Very nice." he murmured, glancing appreciatively at her new look.
As she took off the hat he was about to say something when he noticed the antlers still on her head. "Um, that wasn't supposed to happen." he said, trying not to show her how nervous he was suddenly feeling. Jotting down a note on his notebook he stepped up to her, his face calm. "It's going to be okay. It should wear off in a few minutes." he looked down at his watch, "Two minutes to be precise." he added, taking out his wand in case he needed to use the finite spell.
"It'll be okay, it'll be okay." he murmured, his eyes never leaving her head with the antlers on them. He sure hoped they vanished; if they didn't he'd be in huge trouble. Upstead trouble he thought; no Ministry trouble. Oh no! "Come on...come on..." he whispered, gulping loudly. If this works I'll give up chocolate frogs for a month he thought to himself.

Ugh. Sabrina wished she had her teddy bear with her.
Yes, she did realise that she was indeed a seventeen year old, making her an adult in the wizarding world, but she needed a cuddle and the only people she could cuddle as much as she wanted were at home and she was here. And her bear was sitting in her room. Pout. Snowball loved being stroked, but cuddling him for too long was stretching it with him.
Absentmindedly, the blonde played with Snow's soft fur, watching the fire as it licked the wood, her thoughts far away from the common room. So she did not quite notice that Samson had chosen to sit next to her.
"Hey." She replied, absentmindedly, once again. A natural, reflex reaction, since she had only barely recognised that her brother was talking to her, her thoughts still far away.
Samson eyed Sabrina as he sat beside her. He even leaned forward and rested his elbows on his lap as he surveyed her, with her spaced-out look and absent-minded stroking of Slushball. Huh. How weird. Looking from the fire to Sabrina and back, he became more intrigued.
"Saaab," he called in a sing-song voice, waving a hand in front of her face. After that petty attempt, he shrugged, settled back in the chair and placed his hands behind his head as he lounged and closed his eyes. Maybe she was too busy thinking of things. And he had his own set of things to think about.
Despite the fact that he had a lighter mood now as compared to a while ago at the feast, Samson had still not forgotten his problem with Issy. Of course not! He couldn't easily forget something as emotionally crushing as that. He let out another sigh. He had to make amends, make things okay with her. A preliminary plan was already set, but he still had to polish everything out. More than anything, he just wanted them to be okay.
Besides, Samson was tired of being emotional. Eck.

"T-t-two m-minutes?! What if the two minutes are over and they're still there? What if I live with antlers forever? WHAT IF MY CHILDREN HAVE ANTLERS?!" Lucy cried out as she began exaggerating her current...strange condition. Antlers...on...a person's...head..WAS NOT A GOOD THING. Never was it a good thing. This was definitely an experiment gone wrong. Why the heck was experiment with an antler charm, and a hat that makes you go invisible?! She took a look at the hat, cursing it inside her head. Stupid hat...oh, how she hated it now.
And then...the strangest thing happened. Her nose...was no longer a nose. Well, it was a nose but it was rather...BIG. She felt her nostrils begin to enlarge, and by the time her hands reached up to touch her own face, and she could feel the cuspids in her mouth and they were all big...And her face!! No longer was smooth, and soft. Now, it was all furry, and...MOOSE-LIKE. Wait, wait, wait...was this Pinocchio? Was she in that movie? Did she get so into the role that she forgot she was in a movie? Wait...WHAT?! Oh, no. In Pinocchio, the kid turned into a donkey. She was a freaking MOOSE, man.
But why? WHY was she a MOOSE?! Lucy started screaming at the top of her lungs as she ran her fingers across her face. All she feel was her humongous nose and her antlers, and her weird furry face. It was enough to make her want to strangle William but she held her anger and as she attempted to bite her lip, she bit air instead. She tried to talk but nothing came out except for moose-like sounds. Great. Her fat nose and her fat head and her fat antlers were too fat for her to do anything...GAAAAAH!!

William stood frozen on the spot. oh my goodness he thought, his eyes widening in horror at what he had done. Not only had he just gone and done something horrible but he had probably caused someone he had just meat to be turned into a moose. Not good Will not good. "Ok, calm down, I can fix this." I think he added silently. It was just antlers, no big deal, right?
Wrong. Just as he was about to put up his wand and fix his mistake something horribly wrong happened. He watched in silent horror as her nose began growing, fur growing on it. "Oh no." he muttered, holding out his hand as the hat fell to the ground. "It's going to be okay. This wasn't even supposed to happen! It wasn't a Transfiguration spell, I swear!" he exclaimed, fear growing inside of him at the look of Lucy now with the head of a moose. Going to the hospital wing was a good idea, yup. It meant him getting into serious, possibly Ministry trouble but he didn't want her getting hurt.
His eyes watered as he tossed the hat into his bag before swinging the bag onto his shoulder. Handing her the notebook and pen he said, "Write down what you want to say. I'm so sorry Lucy." no need to use her super hero name anymore. "The nurse will fix this." Oh how he wished Avalon was here right now. He didn't know this Melita person.

Lucy turned her head carefully towards William, realizing that she had to be careful when she turned her head. Her head so abnormally long, and huge that it could potentially hit something or someone if she spun to fast. She dared not move her head so much...part of her felt that weight of her head was so have that it might snap off and roll away...well, not roll away, but definitely snap off and cause a dent in the floor. It was just THAT HEAVY.
Trying not to panic, Lucy took the notebook and pen that she was offered and wrote down:
Quote:
If I don't get cookies from Melita, the new cookie nurse...YOU'RE DEAD MEAT.
Not really, though. He wasn't dead meat. She knew he didn't mean it but her judgement was clouded by so many things. At the moment, she had no intentions of making sure he receive ample amount of punishment, but she did want a cookie...it was the one thing she really, really, really wanted. Not getting one might turn into a worse monster than she is now. Blaaaaaaah!! She began making her way towards the exit of the common room, following William's lead, of course. No way would she trust herself to lead them both to the Hospital Wing. What if her moose-eyes turned out to have horrid eyesight or she began growing hooves and...ooohhh. Lucy found herself lucky not to be in that situation. She was quite thankful to have only a moose head...but having a moose body might help with the tremendous weight of the moose head.

Damon had finally finished his arithmancy homework after a few hours of studying to make sure it was to perfection. This being his first homework assignment he did not know what to expect. Damon then sat on the nearest couch and just continued to ponder over would lie ahead during the school year.

Standing beside Lucy, he put hisarm around her to help support her. "If you need to you can put your head on my shoulder." he said as he began walking towards the door, tears threatening to run down his face. Boys don't cry; but William wasn't a normal boy. Becca had found that out last term; at that thought he grew even more sad. He was in trouble, big time. The weight of his actions weighed him down making him feel heavier than normal.
"You can have as many cookies as you want." he replied to her message, his voice wavering bordering on hysterical. He didn't have time to be hysterical though; he had a damsel in distress to save. There you go, acting like Batman, as if Batman would do anything like that he thought to himself, berating himself. "Come on, let's get this taken care of. I'm sure she's seen weirder things than this." he tried to reassure her.
Trying not to panic, even though he knew she was close to panicking he took a deep breath not noticing the tears now streaming down his face. Oh how he hoped a professor didn't see him helping a moose-Lucy to the hospital wing. The thought of one of those cookies was tempting, very very tempting.

Aw, what a sweet boy. Although it didn't cover the damage completely, the word "completely" was a key word. It covered part of the damage. Cookies would cover the rest, and William promised that she'd get cookies. The thought of this made her forget that was a moose-headed girl now, she pretended that she was smiling because technically speaking, she was. But...it didn't show to well on her face.
Her eyes diverted to his face when she saw little tears streaming down his face. Tsk tsk...the poor boy. Although she was particularly cross with him, she felt quite pitiful for him. He probably would end up in a heap of trouble, but perhaps it would do if she got in trouble as well. Or maybe they could explain that was simply an experiment...just an accident. None of it was meant to happen! Or at least, Lucy hoped it wasn't done on purpose. But then she cast another look at his face and that reminded herself that it definitely wasn't meant to be a joke. Just simply an experiment gone wrong, and that was what Lucy had to keep in mind.
Lucy's panic levels dropped, and so far, getting trouble was just about the only thing that worried her greatly. What would happen? What would her parents say? What would HIS parents say? Oh, boy...Lucy hoped it wasn't too seriously. And William was right! Most likely, Melita was capable of fixing the problem. She raised a hand and patted his head gently, letting him know that it was alright and there was nothing to worry about.

Eh? Why wasn't she able to see the fire anymore? Oh, it was Samson's hand. "Yeeeees." Sabrina said with a start, as thought just waking up from a long dream. "Sorry. Spaced out there." She had just been thinking about the past six years at Hogwarts, remembering the good times along with the bad ... Reflecting on her time at Hogwarts.
Her eyes wandered off to a girl when she heard something about her children having antlers. What? Oh, it was the girl who wanted to steal her ice cream before. Lu something. Lulu? Lule? Lucy? What was it? She couldn't remember.
Not particularly wanting to remain gloomy anymore, Sabrina nudged Samson lightly. "How'are you feeling now? No side-effects from the cookies?" She had been so sure they weren't to be trusted. Ah well. She'll get more cookies tomorrow.

He needed to remind himself that everything would work out for the better. Being a scientist meant doing things wrong; including turning people into other animals. But he never thought an innocent thing like this would go so horribly wrong. What would his mother think; his cousin?!? The thought of Ari being disappointing in him was heart breaking. He relied on her for guidance and comfort.
When Lucy raised her hand for a moment he thought she was going to hit him. He deserved it after all. But instead he patted him on the head and he glanced at her, not creeped out in the slightest by her big head. It was just a simple mistake after all. Now all they had to do was make it safely to the hospital wing without running into a professor. Which he knew was bad odds. Knowing him he'd run into that Borr person or worse, Kazimeriz. And after he had finally gotten to like the man a wave of horror crossed his face.
Rats.

Bella walked back into the common room.she was excited to start the new year studies.she walked to her favorite couch and sat down with a book in her hands. she saw the first years around her who seemed to be having quite fun. she remembered the firsties she met,Keely,Patroculus,Gabby and Lucy.
Satisfied with his meeting with Professor Shackleton, Tibi returned to the common room. Dragging his already overstuffed bag behind him, he settled down near a table to write home. His Mum had asked him to write every chance he got.
Pulling out the stationary set and sealing wax, he started to write home about the train ride. Scrunching his face in thought, he opted to leave out the part about Willie terrorizing him. Instead, he wrote about how he'd met a few nice older students and some other first years on his ride and then even more at the table.
He paused, thinking about what else to write. Oh! The Sorting! And what the hat said about dad! Scribbling furiously, Tibi tried to get it all on the parchment. Thinking more about the feast, he thought it might be best to leave out the poo and the tutus. Tibi sighed, letting his hair flop in his face again. There was going to be a lot he had to leave out of his letters, wasn't there. Finishing off with a note about his first class, he quickly re-read his letter.
Text Cut: letter home
Hi Mum!
Hogwarts is really great so far! The train ride was really nice; I sat with a third year named Jake who has been really helpful. I saw Ella again and met some other first years. It was a pretty uneventful trip. When we got to school, they did what they call a sorting. We had to put this really really old magic hat on and it told us what house to go in! Some people it knew right away, but it sat on my head for a while, and talked just to me. It was really scary at first, but then, the hat said it knew Dad! It was the same hat that had put Dad in his house when he was my age! The hat told me Dad was a Gryffindor but that I wasn’t quite as brave as he was. Was Dad very brave, Mum? I wonder if anyone else around here knew Dad? The portraits talk and have been here for years, so maybe they would? Anyway, the hat put me in Ravenclaw, which is a house that values knowledge and learning. I think it’s a good fit.
Classes are starting and I had my first lesson today. It’s called Arithmancy and it’s all about how numbers are magic and what they can tell us. I’m finding it a little hard, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. It’s so different from regular math! Flying lessons should start soon and I’m really nervous about being so high. I’m going to go talk to the professor who teaches it and see if he can help.
I should probably finish this letter. I have homework to finish and then two more classes - Defense Against the Dark Arts and History of Magic!
Miss you and lots of love,
Tibi.
Placing it down on the table, he leaned back in the chair, allowing himself to be distracted by everything around him.

And he had his own set of things to think about.
Despite the fact that he had a lighter mood now as compared to a while ago at the feast, Samson had still not forgotten his problem with Issy. Of course not! He couldn't easily forget something as emotionally crushing as that. He let out another sigh. He had to make amends, make things okay with her. A preliminary plan was already set, but he still had to polish everything out. More than anything, he just wanted them to be okay.
Besides, Samson was tired of being emotional. Eck.
Deciding to be brave, and face her fear, Becca stood up, smoothed out her skirt, and walked over to a small group of conversing Ravens. Smiling timidly, she walked over and said, "Hi! I'm Becca Latrowski. Mind if I join you?"Her head was still there, her feet hadn't exloded, she hadn't spontaeously decombusted. It really wasn't that bad., She thought. I should do this more often! It's pretty nice, actually.
Eh? Why wasn't she able to see the fire anymore? Oh, it was Samson's hand. "Yeeeees." Sabrina said with a start, as thought just waking up from a long dream. "Sorry. Spaced out there." She had just been thinking about the past six years at Hogwarts, remembering the good times along with the bad ... Reflecting on her time at Hogwarts.
Her eyes wandered off to a girl when she heard something about her children having antlers. What? Oh, it was the girl who wanted to steal her ice cream before. Lu something. Lulu? Lule? Lucy? What was it? She couldn't remember.
Not particularly wanting to remain gloomy anymore, Sabrina nudged Samson lightly. "How'are you feeling now? No side-effects from the cookies?" She had been so sure they weren't to be trusted. Ah well. She'll get more cookies tomorrow.
Samson could not help but snort and snicker a bit at his sister's reaction. "Yeah, spaced out, I can see that," he teased softly, still in his lounging position. And he wouldn't actually see anything because he had his eyes closed. Duh. This would not be the first time Sabrina had been spaced out. At these times, she was mostly thinking about stuff. Reminiscing and all that.
And she also felt random most of the time, which was something Samson had already gotten used to. She would not be Sabrina without her randomness. "Good, good. A bit better than I was a while ago, actually. Must be the cookies. If feeling better is a side-effect, then don't mind if I help myself to more of that lady's cookies." He didn't get what the deal was with the woman who gave away the cookies anyway. He was quite taken by them. Of course, he would never know or understand what kind of life was being lived over at Belle's School, when the schools were separated. All he knew was that the all-boys school he had experienced wasn't all that bad.

Then someone decided to join them, and Samson opened one eye to peer at the girly voice that spoke just a few seconds ago. Well, duh. Of course it was a girl. She looked new, obviously, and there was no point in scaring her away. Although, admittedly, Samson had missed doing that with Gavin. Ah well. If he goofed off now, he'd earn a good, hard smack on the head from Sabrina. Heh.
"Eh, sure, why not. Nice to meet you Beck. You don't mind if I call you Beck, do you? I'm Captain Crunch," he said with a wink as he sat up and scooted over to give the girl space to sit if she wanted to. Well, at least the name changing was still a good trend.

Beside a raise of her eyebrow and a small and gentle poke on his chest, Sabrina let the teasing about her spacing out abilities slide. She also let the cookie thing slide. Whatever. He was fine. The cookies seemed normal enough. She'll eat them next time, if there was to be a next time, that is. Which she hoped there wasn't.
Before Sabrina could open her mouth to greet the little girl, she heard Samson's voice and this time she turned to look at Samson with TWO raised eyebrows instead of one. Captain Crunch? Where did that come from?
As Sabrina scooted with him, she said. "Nice to meet you, Becca." Hmm. Was she a first year? Sabrina hadn't seen her before. But then again, it was Sabrina, so it shouldn't be that surprising. "I am Sabrina." She said, waving at Samson. "First year at Hogwarts?" Now that she thought about it, the girl seemed a little older than eleven.
Maybe twelve? Thirteen? Fourteen?

Becca, or Beck, laughed, wholeheartdly. "No not at all, Captain.", she said as she sat down next to him. "So, enjoying being back? I know I am. This place is more magial every year, I'm here. I wonder what'll be in store this year." Then, to Sabrina replied, "It's nice to meet you, too. And actually, I'm in my third year, though I wouldn't be suprised if you haven't seen me before. I tend to shy away from things." By now she was blushing a bit. First year, I can see that mistake being made. Becca thought to herself.

Keeley walked into the common room in awe. It was beautiful! Although she had been tired downstairs, she felt much more energized, and sat down on a squashy arm chair, fantasizing about the classes that were starting tomorrow.
Jack entered the Common Room and headed straight to a study table. Homework first, then down to the Great Hall for something to eat.
He pulled out his Arithmancy textbook, parchment, quill and ink and got to work. Transits....he loved Arithmancy, but wasn't very good at expressing himself when it came to interpretations. Must try harder, he thought to himself. Concentrating on the assignment, he was oblivious to what was going on around him.

It would help him keep his mind off the fact that he was being an idiot over Celandine, about his worries for his seventh year, about his guilt over not giving Livvy enough attention... he wanted to just focus on his first Hogwarts friend and give her all the focus she deserved. Truly.
His seriousness and full attention made it difficult for Livvy as she shifted uncomfortably on the couch, pulling her legs up and hugging it against her chest. She thought for a moment, moving back to biting her lip gently as she contemplated whether or not she should tell Perni. He had been one of the few friends that actually stuck by her side. He deserved to know, right? What he was getting into?
Who knew what would happen next? What other crazy and stupid thing could Livvy do? She didn't want to think about it, but she knew that Perni was sincere and truly wanted to know.
Breathing deeply, she finally looked the boy in the eye. Here goes...
"It was... horrible," Livvy said, rocking back and forth on the couch. "It was the most stupidest thing I had ever done, Copernicus. I should never had agreed to go." The girl shook her head vigorously and buried her head in her arms. But she was getting ahead of herself.

Virgi entered the loud common room. She didn't see anyone she knew. "Being a first year stinks," she thought. She walked over to a girl sitting in the same chair she saw her in last night and said, "Hi, I'm Virgi."
"Anya," she said, holding out her hand. She had seen Virgi around...she seemed pretty nice and Anya could definitely use a friend around here when she couldn't find Alice.

Virgi shook Anya's hand and sat down next to her. "I wish Marc was here, he would help me," Virgi sighed. She wished her brother weren't in Hufflepuff, it would be much easier that way.
