Gryffindor House Table
 

Large quantities of food are spread before you. Whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the Hogwarts' house elves are the best in the world. The food is superb and the company is as well.

The house poem, penned by All4oliverwood:

Get up off of your seats
Ready for some fun?
You ain't seen nothin' yet
For this years just begun
Friends are rollin' in
It's faces old and new
Nothing comes between us
Dear Gryffindors be true
Outside of the castle
Ready for things to fly
Lions are soaring strong
In a game that's do or die
On this autumn night
Near the crimson fireplace
Solid friendships forming
People so full of grace
Rockin' the competition
In a race for the house cup
Doing everything we can
Earning points to keep us up
Reeling for a win
Us Lions gettin' it done
Loyality guiding us through
Everyone working as one

Ruby made her way to the Gryffindor table (that was was the right one, wasn't it?) and slumped down on the bench. Cupping her face in her hands, she made a face at the food spread before her, as if it was worth puking over. But really, the food looked delicious--Ruby was just being obnoxious and stubborn.
Looking up, she noticed that the ceiling was enchanted--"OH, how beautiful!," She said in a very sarcastic tone. And then finished the look with a roll of her eyes.
This place had to be more boring that a prison, if that was possible. I mean, she definitely wasn't going to classes, puh-lease, and everyone here seemed to not be her type. Why had her father had made her come here?!
Angrily, she stuck a fork in some eggs and then groaned loudly.

Evangeline walked into the Great Hall, and glanced around. There weren't very many people sitting at the Slytherin table, and none that she yet knew. So she walked down towards the other tables, in search of someone that she knew, not that there were really that many so far. Not finding anyone she knew, Evangeline decided to sit down at the Gryffindor table near a girl that didn't look very happy. "I have to say, you look rather bored." She pointed out, her american accent showing, of course.

Well, Raven is back at the great hall, beside making stomach full before anything else is not bad, and actually good for him.

"Yesterday is a feast, let see what is breakfast today" Raven say
Raven is still amaze when a plate of food appeared out of somewhere, follow by juices and tea, egg, hotdogs, and more, enough to fill a belly of an eleven year old boys.
"Hmmm, nice cook, automatically appearing food", Raven want to see a House elf but no one shows to him

"That's because the house elves are only in the kitchens," Kurumi said leaning across the table to speak with Raven. She had been up rather early reading more books in the library and doing family research. Also, she needed to make sure that Walnut stayed away from Momotaro and that meant leaving the cat in the common room and sticking the pygmy puff in her robe's pocket. "Oh, Raven, I'd like you to meet Momotaro," she said reaching into her other pocket and pulling out her new pet.

"Hi, Kurumi, good morning" *looking to fygmy puff, amazed what is animal is it* "What is that, a pet? What is the name again --Momotaro?"
*he bit an egg, sipping tea --he like coffee*

"Pygmy Puff," Kurumi repeated giving Momotaro a few more Eskimo kisses and the tiny fluff ball cooing slightly. "They are miniature Puffskeins. Isn't he adorable? Adam gave him to me last night." Kurumi set the pink ball on the table. "Momotaro," she nodded. "You got it correct."

"Pygmy puff huh, I see, like pop corn --Momotaro like Hamtaro" Raven teasing
"so how about your tabby walnut" Raven ask
*he pick some hotdog and bit it*

"More like Momotaro, the popular hero from Japanese folklore," she laughed saying in a matter of fact tone. "Walnut is up in the common room...he...doesn't really get on well with this guy yet. Seems to think he is a ball to play with."

"Well, it look like ball anyway --or maybe jealous" Raven say, sipping tea
"so what the plan for today?"

"Doing some research in the library," Kurumi winked sticking her tongue out.

"You such a bookworm, Kurumi --yesterday I found you reading" Raven said

"But I'll go to library today too, just trying to find some useful book and of course to see what the library looks like" Raven's hand is moving to emphasize his saying

"Which is exactly why I sometimes wonder why I wasn't sorted into Ravenclaw," she giggled eating the remains of her toast with strawberry jam on it. "I am doing a bit of research in the library, family business," Kurumi said rather lightheartedly despite the heavy implications.

investigation = research
 

"Don't worry, I didn't pestering you in the library, I prefer solo in my investigation" Raven honestly said

"Perhaps you subject matter is different from mine" Raven smiling naughty

*Raven finish his breakfast* "err, do you have cookie for me" Raven say his stomach is full but adding some cookie isn't bad.

"You are welcome to pester me if you want," she laughed. "But, if I am making this face," she made a face kind of like an angry monkey. "That is my concentration face, so you probably shouldn't approach me."

Kurumi raised an eyebrow at Raven. What was her Gryffir brother up to? He better not get himself into trouble. "Am I going to have to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't go wandering off into the restricted section?" She had probably just opened an new can of worms by mentioning it. She needed to remember who she was talking to.

"It just so happens I do," she winked. Not like she was going to be his personal cookie girl. That right was reserved for Adam and, well, all of Hogwarts really. "Here," she said handing him one of her Autumn Apple Cookies she had made the previous night. "They taste kind of like apple pie."

Raven shows rumpled face "hey, what is for that feature, very scary"

"Promise" *raising left hand intentionally, swearing* "I didn't get a detention in my first day, beside the librarian is our head of house, I didn't want to humiliate her, yes, in our first meeting, duh" Raven figurative smile

*he took the unique cookie, bit a little, just to taste, and yes its tasty, finish it in one big bite* "Yummy, wonderful cookie Mistress, Griffin big sister we have" Raven flattery "I know that not for me it's for somebody else" Raven say sweetly

Kurumi rolled her eyes and laughed. Raven was both adorable and a handful. Was this what it was like to be a prefect but for several hundred more students? She was going to have to make extra cookies for them.

"The cookies? Oh, no, no one in particular," Kurumi said shaking her head. "Just to share with my friends. It was a new recipe I came up with over the summer and wanted to try them out."

"Okay, that perfect to share to them" Raven said, looking over to other house table having few people, grinning.
*Raven didn't know how he feel very comfortable giving line to Kurumi, is that sign of eagerness for having a sister, well maybe they both Lions*

Kurumi smiled at Raven as she finished off the remains of her milk. "Well, I think I am going to head to the library," she said to the boy picking up her book bag.

"Okay, I'll be on other side, strolling from and to Hogwarts vicinity, maybe before heading to Library --bye Kurumi, see you later then" Raven said and prepare to take off

Sophia slumped down at her table, exsausted. She grabbed a bowl full of ice cream, and started to eat it slowly. It just didn't taste like the ice cream se was used to, but it was still quite delicious. Chocolate was always her comfort food. She looked around, hoping to see a farmilar face, but all she saw were people she didn't know.

Adam walked into the Great Hall- with a somewhat renewed spirit. Perhaps it had been his private visit with Kurumi that had changed him for the moment.Finally he saw a blonde girl he hadn't talked to for several months.
"Sophia. How are you?
Oh ice cream..."Adam said, licking his lips.

Sophia continued to eat her ice cream when she heard her name being called. "Adam!" she said, a little happier. It would be nice not having to it by herself. "Oh, fine." she said, with a weak smile. "Exsausted." she said, with a dark chuckle. "Yea, their ice cream is pretty good." she said, smiling. "I recommend trying it." she said, laughing quietly.

Adam grabbed a spoon off the table and scooped some up and eat it, or more let the cream melt in his mouth.But after a few bites Adam had realized Sophia did not sound her sassy sarcastic self, she sounded a bit down. Halfway through his 6 spoonful he stopped.
"Good . Good.
Umm, Sophia, are you alright?"

Sophia sighed. "Yea, it just was a, well, bad summer." she said, vaguely. She wanted to tell someone what had happened, but was she ready? She would start to cry if she had to talk about it. It was terrible. "If you really want to know, I'll tell you what happened." she said, sternly.

Bad summer, eh?
Adam completely dropped his spoon and looked at her.
"Yes, I would like to know. And so you can trust me more- I won't tell anyone unless you want and tell me to. So go on. I'm all ears..."He said pointing at them.

Sophia smiled weakly as she watched him point to his ears and drop his spoon. Oh Adam. she thought. "Here goes." she said, taking a deep breath. "Okay, so in May my friend, who was our age, was diagnosed with bone cancer." she said, trying to keep it together. "Well, she passed away." she said, coldly. "She was my best friend." she said, blankly. She could feel the tears in her eyes starting to form, but she quickly brushed them away. This was hard for her to talk about, and she never looked up at Adam once during that story.

Adam thought it would be over some guy, but this was much drastic than that.At a loss for words he just sat there, hand on chin, thinking about what to say. He had never had to go through losing a friend, so this was all new to him. Though he had always heard that "I'm sorry. But you'll pull through, and don't let the bad memories get into your mind. Think about all the happy things you two used to do, all the memories you have created together- that will only lessen the pain and make it much better."Adam said, hugging her tightly.

Sophia nodded. "It's okay." she said, quietly. "I guess it was for the better." she said. "It ended her pain." she said, finally looking up. Sophia always hated going to visit Alex in the hospital, because the girl looked like she was in so much pain, and Sophia couldn't do anything about it, which bothered her. "Thanks for the advice." she said, hugging him back. "There is no point in dwelling in sadness, because it wouldn't bring her back, and she would never want me to be sad." she said, smiling weakly.

"It's okay. And yes, you're correct. Thinking of sadness will not make the pain any easier.And yes, she doesn't want you to be sad, just be glad that she didn't have to....have.... have to...take the O.W.L's."Adam teased heartdly.
"So maybe are you feeling better yourself, also?"He said with a raised eyebrow.

Sophia laughed genuinly. "Yea taking the O.W.L's will suck." she said, laughing. She took another bite of ice cream, which suddenly tasted a lot better. "I am feeling a little bit better." she said, nodding her head. "Being with friends has really helped that." she said, smiling gratfully at Adam. "Anywho, how was your summer?" she asked, randomly.

"Very good!"He said in a spiffy voice.
"Meet Kurumi's family in Japan.Yes I went there for two weeks. Her brothers had gotten a fake letter from the government telling me , that I hadn't gotten all my papers fixed and right- I was being brought back to London- but it was all a joke."Adam explained in a rather thrilled voice, it had been a stressful but fun 2 weeks.

Sophia laughed. "Oh Adam." she said, in between breaths.
"You went to Japan?!" she asked, excitedly. "That is so cool!" she said, happily. "Her brothers sound very mischeivous, and well umm fun." she said, smiling a little bit. "My brothers pull pranks on me all the time." she said. "It gets annoying after awhile." she said, smirking a little bit. "So anyway, did you try some authentic sushi?" she asked. Sophia loved sushi!

Ruby looked up from her vicious egg smashing as someone spoke to her...or so it seemed. Glancing at the girl, she first noticed the color of her robes--green and silver. Wait, that wasn't right.
"Uhhh, I think...you're at the wrong table," She pointed out. Weren't you only allowed to sit at the table that represented your House? Stupid place, they had so many rules here, She thought to herself.
Reaching up to brush her hair out of her eyes, Ruby rolled her eyes at the girl when she mentioned her being bored.
"Well, DUH." Wasn't it obvious? It's not like she was trying to hide it.
"And who are you?" Ruby asked her, raising her eyebrows, realizing she had never seen the girl before. She definitely didn't seem British though, her accent proved that.

Anyone :D
 

Alice walked into the Great Hall having decided that the only thing that was going to make her feel better was chocolate. Plopping down on the bench of the Gryffindor table Alice scoped out her options. Spotting a rather tasty looking chocolate covered strawberry, Alice grabbed four our so, placing them on her plate, before taking a bite of one. She closed her eyes, enjoying the taste of the chocolate.

Thank God for small favors.

Septimus stormed into the Great Hall. It didn't take a genius to know he was frustrated. He never was very good at masking his rage. He sat at the Gryffindor table, as any Gryffindor would. But instead of eating, he folded his long, skinny arms on the table and rested his chin on them. Eleven years old and he was already going through what he called "an emo phase". He thought he'd be at least sixteen or so before he started getting all depressed. His father thought he was a disappointment. His mother left him nine years ago and his search for her was going nowhere. And he only had one friend, Kurumi, whom he hadn't even seen very much lately. He had thought that Hogwarts would give him a chance to escape his father, overcome his shyness, and find his mother. but so far only the first had really actually happened. "But things will get better," he said quietly enough so that no one would hear him. "Everything will turn out all right in the end." But, truthfully, he was beginning to doubt his own advice.

Sebastian walked into the Great Hall, taking a seat at the Gryffindor Table. Yes, he was hungry, super hungry and he was not going to wait any longer. He yawned once as it was the morning and stretched his arms out for a second. Oh yes, food. He grabbed two of the waffles that happened to be on one of the plates, putting it on his and digging in. Yummmm.

Now he just hoped nobody that he knew would come in here and see him digging into the food like a monster. That would be embarassing.

Adam was eating some cereal when he saw someone nearly asleep position on the gryffindor table. Finding this an odd sight he dropped his spoon and walked over to the guy.
"Excuse, I was noticing you right now...Are you feeling alright?"Adam asked polietly.

Kurumi was busy reading her Ancient Runes textbook in preparation for the first class of the year and think just how much she was going to miss Professor Di when *twap* a rather large piece of waffle drowned in maple syrup landed right smack in the middle of her textbook. What? Was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class having another food fight that she hadn't heard about? Looking around, that clearly wasn't the case as everyone else was dressed in their robes and there was no food being flung around the Great Hall.

"Ew..." Kurumi frowned flicking the piece off her book. Now there was a maple syrup blob in the middle of her book. How terrible! Looking around, Kurumi saw a boy devouring his meal like a Nogtail. "E-E-E-E-E-Excuse me," she mumbled tapping him on the shoulder. "W-Wou-Would you happen to have a napkin?"

Sebastian was stuffing the waffles into his mouth when he felt a light tap on his shoulder and a really high pitched voice to his left. He turned to see a short girl who looked alot younger, she seemed as if she was only 12 years old. A napkin? Oh right. He simply nodded and reached over the table, grabbing a napkin. He looked back at the younger girl and noticed that there was a blob of something that looked like syrup. His eyes widened and he handed her a napkin, as he swallowed the waffle.

"I'm sorry, did I do that?" He asked, knowing that he had to watch where his food went when he ate it.

Taking the napkin from the older boy, Kurumi noticed that the boy was eating waffles. Perhaps those were the same waffles that had caused the bit of maplely dough smudge her book, but there was no way that Kurumi could point a finger at him. "Oh, um, I-I-I don't think so," she flushed dabbing her textbook with the napkin. "P-Perhaps a Nargle did it," she offered as a rather weak excuse. Cheeks burning, Kurumi continued to dab her textbook.

However, it became clear that this was not going to get all the maple syrup off of her book. Setting the napkin down on the table, Kurumi took out her wand and after a fluid swish and flick movement and cast Scourgify to clean off the remaining bits. There good as new. "Um, thank you for the napkin," Kurumi said bowing her head. "I-I-I'm Kurumi," she said bowing her head slightly.

Sebastian watched as the girl was trying to get the syrup off her book and it was failing tremendously. "A nargle?" He said with a laugh. "I'm going to have to say this one is on me, I get into my food alot when I'm hungry, but anyways I'm sorry for that." He said with a mere frown upon his face. Hey, at least he said sorry. Then again this girl was younger and cute, like sister cute, so he practically had to say sorry.

He watched as she casted Scourgify upon the blob and it went away. "Your welcome, but I must say, that napkin did no justice of it's own use." He grinned and nodded in acknoledgement. "Nice to meet you, Kurumi, I'm Sebastian." He said, wiping off his hand with a napkin and holding out his hand for her to shake.

Kurumi giggled as the older boy explained his eating habits. It sounded very similar to her brother Takashi whenever he was around pudding. The boy would slurp the stuff so loudly that the windows would shake and little blobs of pudding would splatter anything within a 1 foot radius. Wait, he was taking tha blame? Did that mean he was a nargle?

"N-N-Nice to meet you too, Sebastian," she said bowing her head again and then taking a hold of his hand and giving it a shy little shake. "M-M-Maybe I should have use a shield charm to keep the food from hitting my book?" Well, she was trying to be funny.

Sebastian grinned as Kurumi shaked his hand. She was a shy little girl but the next thing she said made him take back that statement. At least she tried to be funny. "Well, you didn't know who I was or my eating habits so you wouldn't have known to use a shield charm. Although next time if that happens, you now know that you should, and I'll tell you now, I won't be offended." He chuckled. Nope, he wouldn't be offended, he should sponser shield charms or something for people so they are warned. Hahh.

"So what house/year are you in, Kurumi?" He asked, grabbing the cup of orange juice and taking a sip of it.

Kurumi found herself giggling again. Phew, her rather feeble attempt at a joke had translated and not offended him. "I'll keep that in mind," she nodded covering her cheeks with her hands to try and hide some of the blushing. "I'm, I'm in Gryffindor," she smiled still with her hands on her cheeks. "B--B-But don't feel bad if you haven't seen me before...I'm, I'm only a second year," she said looking back at the table. She should have brought some cookies with her. She had left some of her autumn apple ones in the common room that morning for people to take should they want.

Her blushing just made Sebastian smile even more. So cute really. "You remind me of my little sister, Isabella. She's almost your age, just a few years younger." He said nodding. So Kurumi was like his little sister almost, hah. "Really? I'm in Gryffindor as well. Hmm, that's strange that I haven't seen you yet." He said, trying to think of why he hadn't seen her. Maybe he had, just hadn't recognized her. Yeah, that was probably it.

"Hmm, I guessed so, or a third year maybe." Seb said, taking another sip of his orange juice, making sure not to take a bite of the waffles or else they would get everywhere. "I'm in my 6th Year." He stated.

Kurumi blushed some more for no real reason other than she was talking to someone older than her and therefore got a little flustered. Even after all the time she had spent with Salander and Cam the previous year, she still found herself shyer than a baby unicorn. "I am usually reading...or in the kitchens baking, so that may be why," Kurumi nodded finally putting her hands back down on the table.

Then her eyes began popping out of her head again. She was talking to a 6th year and she had suggested putting up a shield charm. Oh her mother would be furious with her for being rude. She could hear her voice now. "Oh! I'm so sorry for my rude comment about the shield charm!" she squeaked bowing her head over and over again.

"Oh you bake?" Sebastian asked, curiously. That's pretty amazing, due to that he couldn't bake at all, but then again...he could cook. That thought took him to another topic. "Do you think you could show me where the kitchens are located? Yesterday I happened to be too lazy to actually come to the Great Hall or find the kitchens so I happened to ask somebody for something to eat. So I would like to know where exactly the kitchens are at, that way next time if I'm hungry, I know where to go." He laughed at himself. He was asking a second year where the kitchens were located. Wow.

He then watched as Kurumi started to apologize and he put a reasurring hand on her shoulder. "Hey, it's alright. It wasn't rude, I actually found it quite funny. No need to beat yourself up about it." He said with a smile. Poor girl.

"Oh yes, at least four times a week," Kurumi chirped with her interest tickled. "The house elves are very hospitable. They always help me gather my ingredients, especially Twinkle. I must admit, they were a little flustered at first with my being there so often, but not I try my best to blend it." Kurumi probably could have gone on for hours about the time she spent in the kitchen. Her most recent adventure had involved the house elves helping her taste test some new cookies. She had even asked them for advice on how to best incorporate cockroach clusters into a cookie, but that had driven most of them mad because they didn't have a decent answer. "Oh, the house elves would like it very much if you came and visited them," Kurumi smiled clapping her hands together. "Of course I can show you the way." Although, she wasn't sure why a 6th year didn't already know where the kitchens were.

Raven want some belly filler, he rust to the great hall --of course you hungry, just go to the great hall, house elves will do the cooking and preparing, you just eat what is ready.

He found Kurumi --with more older gryffy, Raven simply say "Hello, fellow"

Mind if I? :D
 

Emily sat at the Gryffindor table, ready for food. She was starving!

First, dessert!

Emily noticed a bowl of chocolate covered strawberries and grabbed one. Yum!
Another girl also thought so, as she had took about half of them.

"Hi" Emily smiled at the girl "You like chocolate then?" she laughed

"Wow, four times a week?" Sebastian asked, wondering how come the elves didn't get annoyed with her or something. Oh okay, well that explains it, they're hospitable, house elves. Hmm, he guessed that he must visit there sometime then...with Kurumi. He wouldn't go by himself, it would be awkward just standing there and asking the house elves to go make him food. He would be nice, polite and make Kurumi ask for him because she was practically on their good side, right?

"That would be great, thanks." He said with a grin. Good, so a trip to the kitchens sometime should be fun...for food. "I just haven't had the time to adventure around Hogwarts yet seeming as I just moved here from Italy." He stated, finishing his cup of orange juice.

Septimus looked up at a boy who could have only been in third or fourth year. To tell the truth, Septimus was feeling the opposite of alright, but he didn’t quite feel like discussing his problems he just met. But, it would be nice to have another friend. “Oh, sure. Just thinking,” he said, mustering a warm grin. “Just clearing my head, you know? I’m Septimus, by the way. Septimus Galen, first year Gryffindor.” He held out his hand for the boy to shake.

Ohhh the Gryffies table.Right now Fee was a little bored and hoped to find any of her friends here.She had so many Gryffie friends, at least one of them should be here, right?! And with thinking of it Rubies popped up in her head.Where was the Gryffie bestie?!The blonde hadnt seen her at Diagon Alley or at the train or even the feast. What was going on?!Hopefully everything was okay and they just kept missing eachother.

Maybe once classes started they would meet up.They actually had to because they went to the same classes,right?!If not fee would be super worried.

"Hi. Septimus.I'm Adam Burn- 3rd year."Adam said shaking Septimus' hand. Afterwords he took a seat and looked at the boy for a second or three before it became rude he glanced the hall.
"Well that's good. Thinking. It clears out all your thoughts."Adam wasn't quite sure on what to say. This Septimus seemed like he wanted to be alone on purpose and he wasn't quite the nice one.

Septimus could tell Adam wasn't exactly sure what to say to him. But that was alright. Septimus didn't know what to say either. He never was very charismatic. But it was he who began the conversation.
"So are you from Britain?" he asked, sounding more friendly now his mood had calmed. "I myself am from Italy."

"You're italian. I only have one other friend who is from Italy.Yes, Oxfordshire to be exact."Adam answered with a nod.
Septimus was trying to make conversation, and Adam was glad there wasn't a awkward silence, at least, not anymore.Because awkward silences were just plain awkward.
"So you're 11 then?"

Septimus nodded. "I'll be turning 12 on the 18th of November. You're a... 4th year?" he asked. He was glad that he had a distraction. And who knows, maybe Adam could help. But in the meantime, Septimus was going to focus on becoming friends with Adam. It always got a little lonely with just his cat, Skarlo.

"Nope. I'm a 3rd year- 13 years old in age.
I'll be 14 on the 15th of July,I love Summer birthdays-leaves so many things for us to do on this our day of birth.
So got any pets?"Adam asked. A pet conversation seemed more interesting than talking about weather or house and year in Hogwarts.

"Well, I have one," Septimus replied. "Ah, here he comes now." he said as a small black cat jumped up on the seat next to Adam. "His name's Skarlo. What about you? Do you have a pet?"

"Skarlo. Do you know if the name has any meaning behind it?Yes, I do have a cat. Tigger Burn- he's in the common room sleeping right now.
If I see you in there later, I'll show you Tigger."Adam said, petting the black cat that had hopped next to him.
He had always heard black cats were bad luck- or was that just for friday the 13th? Adam didn't really know, but just to make Septimus feel comfortable he petted the young boys cat.

"Well, it sort of means something. It's a word I made up. Yeah, I do that when I get bored. But the word skarlo means... uh, how do i explain it? It's like a coincidence which is so bizarre and insane that sometimes you don't even believe it. That's kind of what happened with me and Skarlo, but that's a long story. Maybe later in the common room. And I'd like to see Tigger when that happens. So, what's your family like?"

Adam fidgeted when Septimus asked about his family.He wasn't quite sure of where he stood on the line with this Septimus, so he wanted to know abit more about him, or at least feel more at ease, before he revealed anything that had to do with his parents.
"Both my parents are muggles. And I have no siblings, I am a only child and only person to have ever gone to Hogwarts. You?"

"I don't have any siblings either. Just me and my dad." Septimus could see that Adam was a bit uncomfortable with the discussion of family. He wasn't exactly sure about telling Adam the full details just yet so he was happy to change the subject. "So, do you have any cool hobbies? Mine is drawing."

"I drum. I'm a drummer. And i play quidditch, even though I am not on the team , yet."Adam said chuckling as he added in that he was expecting to be in the team.
"Drawing? A few of my friends do that. Is there a certain type of drawing you like to make-landscape, cartoons, anime?"Adam asked, he was horrible- best he could do was stick figures.

"Anime mostly. So do you play in like a band or something? I'm a bit of a musician myself every now and then. I do a little guitar, but I'm mostly an artist."

"Anime is pretty cool."Adam said nodding his head.
"Nah I don't. But a few of my friends and I are thinking of starting a band here at Hogwarts, I'll be the drummer, we'll have a flutist and pianist and ukulele player.You can join-if it ever starts up."Adam offered Sep.

"Really? That'd be great! So who else is going to be in the band? Maybe I know them."

"Italy?!" Kurumi squeaked with interest. She wondered if he knew Sophia. "Is it true that the pizza is best there?" Kurumi had read that in a book somewhere. Or maybe she had heard it from one of her brothers who had dated an Italian woman for a little when he had been stationed there for a short term on assignment from the Ministry. "I'm from Japan," she smiled. "If I hadn't gotten lost last term, I probably wouldn't know where the kitchens were." She giggled. Thank Merlin for her lack of sense in direction.

"A first year named Selina.Three second years, one of them being me, the pianist is Kurumi and the ukelel player will be Hugo .I think a band is managable with three people. Three man band.Do you wish to join?"Adam asked, he seemed, Sep, interested with the idea.

"Yes! Of course yes! Wow, that is so cool! So what's the band called? Do you know yet?" Suddenly Sep realized something. "Hey... hey, I didn't notice until right now but... don't we look a lot alike?"

"Well we haven't even talked about it. We were just saying we should make one- though no one has done anything yet to talk further about it...
I guess we do look a bit alike."Adam said, not really sure where Septimus was going with this."Why?"

"I dunno. It's just... well, who knows? It's probably just a coincidence but... hey, maybe we're like cousins or something! Do you know anyone in your family with the last name of Galen?"

"No. We're the Burns. And my cousins names are Galeians..."Adam said.
Cousin Flynn was pretty cool and random crazy at times, Adam enjoyed spending most of his free time with Cousin Flynn.
"Their last name is spelt different than yours...Id Galen your last name?"Adam asked. He didn't remembering hearing Septimus' last name being mentioned earlier.

"Yeah, it's G-A-L-E-N. Hmm." Suddenly something struck him. "Wait, was your mother ever married to someone else before she married your father?"

Adam furrowed is eyebrows. Here was a kid he just met, a few minutes ago, sullen looking and now he was upbeat and being a detective.With a weird look on his face, Adam thought.
"Not that I know of...but I can owl my mom one of these days...You can come along.
Why ?!What are you playing at?"He asked even more confused.

Septimus found himself surprised. He had just walked into the Great Hall depressed that his father saw him as a disappointment and now he was all excited and discovering he might have a half-brother. "Well, you see, my mum left me and my dad when I was only two. I figured she'd gone and married some other man and i might even have a half-brother or sister. I've seen a few photos of my mum and you look a lot like her. Call me crazy but... we could be brothers."

Adam nodded as he listened to Septimus' story. Now this kid was crazy enough to think that in this moment, from classmates friends they were now brothers in a way?Septimus must have had a really bad day.
"Okayyy but..."Adam said longly, highly doubting he could be brother to Septimus, he was after all an only child and he had never seen any pictures of a random boy hanging around with his family."I look like your,....MUM? I need to see a picture of her first before you get too excited on the prospect of us maybe being brothers..."

Adam did have a point. Septimus did tend to jump to conclusions every now and again. But he was always quick to figure things out. Adam probably thought this was just a crazy skarlo, but Sep believed that everything happened for a reason. He pulled a photo from his jeans pocket. "Here." he said, handing the photo to Adam. "See if you recognize her."

Adam took the photo in his hand, and glanced at Sep first before the actual photo.
After examining the lady's nose , ears and chin the chin and face looked quite like Adam's.
"There's no way we can be...She looks almost exactly to me.NO!. I'm sorry, my mom has always said I was an only child. Sorry, no!"Adam said shooting down Septimus' idea and denying an chance of them being related in a way.

Sep never did like to argue with people, but he was positive he had a brother and it was Adam. All his life he'd been hoping he would meet his mother and half-brother or sister one day. Right now Adam was as close as he'd ever gotten. "Well, of course she wouldn't want you to know," he said, thinking a bit more about the situation. It did seem ridiculous, but he was almost 100% sure of it. "The entire reason she left me and Dad was because she wanted nothing to do with us. If you'd maybe gone looking for us and found us, that would open a window of opportunity for Dad to come find her." He stopped for a moment to think. "Besides, she probably doesn't want your dad to know about my dad."

Adam is an idiot
 

"I wouldn't have known of your family either way. Besides I just accepted the fact that I was an only child.We need more evidence.
And until that evidence comes, maybe - I don't want to sound rude..."Adam said getting up and clutching his jacket roughly and putting it on very harshly,"Accept the fact- for the moment- that I am NOT your brother."

Sep couldn't help but smile. He knew Adam was his brother. How? Because there were some things Septimus Galen just knew. He'd always known he had a brother. It was as if he could feel it. And in a way, he could. Some time Adam would come around and everything would be OK. Sep would find his mother and might see more of Adam over the holidays. Adam seemed like a nice guy. Perhaps a little skeptic, but certainly a fun person to be around. But what he needed was evidence. Evidence... Hmm... *light bulb*

Witsy entered the great hall with one thing on her mind, butterbeer, and of course something hot like a chicken pot pie or something...how muggle of her, she giggled to herself. Walking down the hall she notices Adam sitting with some other student. Hesitating not sure whether to interrupt their convo, whiched seemed pretty serious she sat a few yards away hopefully that once they're done she could join them.

She took her seat and food instantly popped up, epic, she thought. Home Fries and mac and cheese, simple yet everything I want. Her taste for food changes more than the weather. She began to eat to her hearts content.

As Adam made his way out he saw a second year. She looked familiar but he couldn't recall where he had seen her or even talked to her.Walking right on by Adam said,"Hello fellow Lion."

"Hello...?" Witsy got up from her seat, "Wait... I know we haven't met, at least not officially. I'm Wisteria most people call me Witsy." Witsy had her hand finding a napkin from behind her, she was pretty sure she had some cheese from her mac and cheese on her face. She finally found a napkin and gently wiped her face. "You seemed troubled... have you eaten? You can join me if you're not busy. You seem like you could use some time to yourself but that would just leave you thinking about what just happened, so as I figure it, I think you should stay here." Witsy smiled trying to keep him company. "If you're not hungry... do you play wizards chess?"

"Not much of a wizards chess player- I'm downright rubbish with them...But I'll stay with you..."He said laughing at himself as he sat down.
"Wisteria you say?"Adam asked out loud. He then racked his brains that name sounded so familiar but maybe he couldn't put his finger on it because he had rarely spoken to this girl last year.
"Yep. Sep is going on about us being long lost brothers or something....WISTY!You're WITSY!"Adam said getting up and clapping his hands, estactic that he had got her name, hopefully.

Witsy was glad to hear that he'd stay and keep her company. "Have you ever played? It's a brilliant game, ah oh well. It's not meant for everyone." She picked up her fork to continue eating. Right before she embraced the food she stopped and looked back at Adam, "You don't mind if I keep eating, do you?" She didn't want to seem rude. She smiled and nodded at the sound of him repeating her name. Witsy laughed at his epiphany to recall her name, "Wow, good memory." She backtracked quickly, "Wait so Sep is claiming that you are his long lost brother?" She dropped her fork to fully concentrate on what she just heard. "How does he know, though? How do you feel about this? Do you believe him?" Witsy had a lot of questions but she didn't want to overwhelm the poor boy.

Adam sighed heavely.Septimus had been intent on the idea of them being brothers, but Adam on the other hand, was not sure, he still needed more proof.
"I don't know how he knows. He says because we look a bit alike that we could be brothers.Then he said that my his last name is similar to my cousins last name..."Adam explained in short for Witsy.

"I've never played Wizards chess- but I probably don't have the attention span to stay concentrated."he teased himself.

I'm full on denying it, us being brothers.It's an odd thought to think of, after having your parents tell you for 13 years now that , you are their only son, only child and then to get hit in the face with this...It's just untangable."He said in a stressed voice.

Witsy looked as puzzled as he did. "Well, does he have any actual proof? I mean, everyone in the school can ramble off a bunch similarities and then claim to be related in some way, don;t you think.? On the other hand, he seemed determined to get his point across and the only reason I say that is cuz he apparently got through to you." Witsy paused seeing how Adam was taking this in. "Lets say he is your brother... do you think your relationship to Sep will change?" Witsy was trying to think more sympathetically, "How would your mom feel about this? Has she any motive towards keeping something like this a secret?" Witsy took a sip of butterbeer simultaneously readjusting her hair pulling it out of its bun.

"Hmm, that's really tough. The only thing at this point that would make sense is to forget about it as much as possible. You're going to need to talk with Sep, though. You both need to have some understanding." She started talking a bit slower and softer. She could tell he was stressed out and she couldn't tell if she was helping him or making it worse. "Until there are facts try not to think too much about it." She paused again for a moment, "Have you any interest in Quidditch? Sighn-ups were the other day, are you trying out?" She hoped by changing the subject it might ease his mind a bit.

another day: rp anyone
 

Raven back at great hall for the breakfast, he wish of vegetable soup, and its emerged, he found another meals, pudding, he took one, taste it, and he loves, yes, Hogwarts meals is always, yeah, always superb. He wonder how's the other Gryffindor student do in classes. after this meal, he plan to study a spell or two in D. A. D. A.
In the meantime waited here for some Lions to appears, he love to talk, when he is eating.

Alicia walked into the Great Hall and saw a lot of food on each table. "FOOOD!" she exclaimed excitedly. She had never been to the Great Hall before as she just arrived a few hours ago. She looked around and really impressed by the decoration. She ran toward the Gryffindor table and joined her fellow Gryffindors, sitting next to a guy that she had never seen before. "Hi." She greeted him friendlily and smiled. "I hope you don't mind if I sit next to you."

Raven stand to his feet, walk a little, try to place himself behind Alicia's. Then he murmur, "try custard cake, and the soup, it's great"

She turned her head around. "Oh hi Raven!" she greeted him. "Custard cake.. Yummy!" She turned her head back to face the table and grabbed some food, including the custard cake and the chocolate fudge. "I'll try the soup later. What a feast!" She grinned. "Come on join me here... Sit." She offered the empty seat next to her.

"Hello, Al" beaming, he sat down but didn't get any food --my tummy is full, being here, after I wake, grinning.
"whew, Hogwarts always make me hungry, in term of so many homework and hard to know classes" Raven paused, he didn't know if he is going to say it or not, Raven don't want to scared Alicia, but, yes, he can make it in funny way, name is absolutely unique

"Al, if you see a man --black American ,or may he is African, --he is a Ministry Security Officer --he's here for additional security for us --he's name is Ikea Garlic --well I suggest we talk to him if he show up" Raven said.

Adam was eating his chicken when he saw a familiar redhead in the Great Hall. Calling her over, Adam put his napkin down. First of all he'd probably have to explain to Selina why he hadn't been at Try Outs and two well something that made him wonder about his future with Kurumi.

Selina ran into the Great Hall after try outs for dinner. She knew that most people had already gone up to bed and that the only people left would be stragglers or Quidditch players. Pulling her mess of red hair back in a pony tail the petite little girl looked down the Gryffindor table to see if she knew anyone. Finally her eyes caught Adam.

Her older brother was in a lot of trouble. They had talked about Quidditch for ages the pair of them. And today on the day of try outs he did not show up. He had better have a good reason.

Plopping down next to him she grabbed a plate and loaded up on food. Judge her at will, but she was hungry. Then again the red head was always hungry. Finally satisfied with her plate she grabbed her fork and prepared to eat, but he was not off the hook.

"Hey big brother, who I look up to and admire for his punctuality... where were you today?"

Adam laughed when he saw that Selina's plate was loaded with a mountain of food.He kept on biting is chicken as he felt guilty inside.He was the big brother and Adam had disappointed little sis.Well, life was full of disappointments.

His mouth twitched nervously as he began.
"I think it's better for me to focus on school work- I will NEVER get this chance again.What if I got on the team and put school off to the side-me being muggleborn, I should take this chance."He then took a sip of pumpkin juice and added quietly "I overslept through the whole thing...And got pressing matters."

As he went on in his speech about school work Selina rolled her eyes. He knew as well as she that he was not particularly interested in school work and such. He would much rather fly and hang out with his friends, which was not a bad thing because Selina would prefer to live her life similarly. Of course that was not an option with her mother and old Head Girl who would have her head if she did not perform well in school.

The more he went on with his story the less she was listening. She was a more convincing liar. When she had a gigantic spoon filled to the brim with mashed potatoes she stuffed it in her mouth. But as fate would have it Adam had just admitted to his real reason behind ditching try outs. She turned to him to exclaim that she knew it, but found that with a mouth full of food all she did was choke.

She turned to the side where she completed her coughing fit and then swallowed. When she went back to Adam she said, "Ah ha! The truth comes out."

Then it registered, the back half of his reason, "...Is everything okay Adam. And remember you are a terrible liar so you should just tell me straight up front."
