Ravenclaw Common Room 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. |
One of the first people into the Common Room? Aimée thought she'd be one of the last, in truth, although she did suppose people may have already gone up to the dormitories. But thinking about it, she supposed it wasn't really that odd for a newbie to be first - some of the older students may have paused and stopped to talk to friends they'd spotted, or been slow because they where chatting. And she'd parted from Harley in the Entrance Hall because her Common Room was underground. Looking around, Aimée made her way over to a seat by the window and sat down, in thought. She was honestly surprised she hadn't gotten lost on the way up, due to it being her very first day, but the person she'd asked for directions (and she didn't know whom it was, just someone older and wearing blue) had said go straight up to the seventh floor and turn left. And she had, and found the Entrance to this Common Room. Okay, so it had been a little more complicated than that, but she had managed to find her way even with the shock of the moving staircases. So she'd settle on thinking about that for now. |
Satine hurried into the Ravenclaw Common Room and hurried straight to her favorite spot, the couch by the fireplace. She plopped down on the empty couch and placed her purple bag on the arm of the couch by her. She stretched quickly and then flicked her right wrist. Instantly her wand shot out of her wrist holster and into her hand. She flicked her wand and her long purple hair and curls twisted up to an up do. She smiled happy with the new look and then unlatched her bag. Within seconds, her purple chinchilla crawled out of her bag and quickly onto her shoulder and sat there watching the entryway with Satine. |
Quote:
Seriously, did the Ravenclaws really need a common room in one of the tallest towers? Dal didn't know where the other houses' common rooms were, but he doubted that they were all in towers. Meh. Anyway, he had better get used to it. At least he'd stay in shape. Dallin's inner grumbling immediately stopped when he walked into the room. Merlin's beard it was cool! He continued further into the room slowly, taking in everything. It looked cozy and homey; something that he could easily live in. That was nice. Now... where were the common rooms? In his search for the door, Dal almost over-looked Aimée. Almost. He glimpsed her out of the corner of his eye, and stopped in his tracks. "Hey, you're a Ravenclaw too!" He exclaimed brightly, changing his course of direction toward her. Of course he already knew that she was a Ravvie from seeing her at the feast, but oh well, it was a good conversation starter. Quote:

Alice slowly and anxiously made her way up the stairs. There were a lot of them apparently and by the time she reached the top she was quite out of breath. Cautiously she opened the door and peeped round. It was amazing! Stepping further into the room and shutting the door behind her she did a full slow spin as she looked around. The ceiling wasn’t quite as magnificent as the one in the Great Hall but the stars were very pretty, so this was her second home for the next seven years. Alice let out a small sigh, as her anxiety melted away she realised how tired she really was. Exploring the school would have to wait till tomorrow. And with that thought she yawned, gave a small wave and smile to her fellow ravenclaws and made her way up the stairs to the girl’s dormitory. |
Quote:
She had bright purple hair. It was so unexpected and damn right cool that Aimée almost let a giggle escape, but she held it in. This girl might get the wrong idea, and although Aimée didn't know her, she didn't want to get on the wrong foot with anyone on the first day. Quote:
Speaking of friends, she wondered what house Chandler was in - she hadn't seen him since the day in Diagon Alley. Shaking her head a little to clear her thoughts, Aimée looked back up at Dallin as he reached her, and spoke. "Yes, I am!" she said with a giggle. "I saw you at ze Ravenclaw table at ze feast, but I wasn't sure if you were in Ravenclaw or not. Because other 'ouses were sitting wiz us. Like my friend 'Arley, she's a Slytherin." she rambled a little, thinking back to his many fangirls, or at least the ones she'd seen when she'd looked over briefly to wave, and smirked a little at the thought. Oooh, Dallin was loved alright. Not that she could blame them, no - he was awfully cute and... Back to the conversation! Earth to Aimée? "Did you know zat you would be in Ravenclaw?" she asked. She'd heard some people saying that the house they got wasn't a surprise, but it had been to her. |
Quote:
Quote:
Dallin caught her sudden smirk and arched one eyebrow, but didn't ask any questions. Instead, he answered hers. "I had no idea what house I would be in," he said with a small laugh. "I still don't know how I managed to get into the brainy house." It wasn't that he wasn't smart - because he could be if he actually cared - it was just that he didn't exactly excel in school, either. "How about you? Were you destined to be a 'Claw?" |
Quote:
Not that that was a bad thing - no, quite the contrary. But still, the thought was there, and she shook herself mentally to clear her mind of bad thoughts, still smiling. He had no idea? Oh thank goodness! Aimée let out a small sigh of relief that she wasn't the only who had been completely at loss for a clue as to her house. "I am sure you are extremely clever," she said. "After all, zat 'At's meant to be amazing at Sorting. Although, I was wondering the same zing about myself." Laughing, Aimée thought about whether she was 'destined' to be blue. "I expected 'Ufflepuff, if I am 'onest," she said thoughtfully. "Zey are loyal and hard workers, which is more like me zaan knowledge and wit." |
My posts aren't the best today >_< Sorry. Quote:
He smirked slightly when she said he was probably clever. He supposed there must be some cleverness somewhere in him, but it didn't show itself all the time. "The hat actually chose my house pretty quickly," he mused when she brought up the Sorting Hat. "I guess it knows me better than myself." Which was sort of creepy, if you asked him. He nodded slowly as she talked. Hufflepuff? That probably would've been his house, had he not been a Ravenclaw. "I could see you as a Hufflepuff," he said thoughtfully. Not that he knew many Hufflepuffs, but from what he'd heard about them, they wre nice and loyal and stuff. And he didn't exactly know Aimée well, either, but... oh nevermind. |
Emily enteres the commonroom and stared around at some of the new faces. Her last year at Hogwarts... she was determined to make it a good one. Still turning about she noticed that Claire wasn't here yet, or perhaps she was in the dorms. Emily decided to go and check and so she left the commonroom skipping up the stairs to the girls dormitory. |
Anyone (: Second home? Kind of, considering Stephen was surrounded by people who were similar to the ones back home. Walking into the common room for a second term, he breathed in the usual smell the room had every time you entered. Stephen watched as people chatted and noticed No harm done. |
Hugo entered the common room tired. It was still rather empty, so he took a seat. After the long train ride and the long feast, he just wanted to relax. When Eino got here, they would look for Faustus in his trunk. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
"Welcome, to Ravenclaw," he said smiling as he stood up to approach her. "Excited for the new term?" he asked. |
Ellie walked into the common room and made a beeline for a chair by the fireplace. Even if it was still technically summer, and hot outside, the chairs by the fire were by far the best in the room. But she didn't sit down, at least not immediately. No, she had too much rage for such a calm demeanor. The redhead kicked the chair first, stumping her toe....she wouldn't admit it, though. Besides, it didn't hurt too much. And THEN she sat down, curled up, and crossed her arms. HMPH. The whole school just made her HMPH. Dumb Professors that left her. Dumb students that left her. HMPH. |
Jimmy always found it hil-ar-ious when people were all puffed and exhausted and whatever upon reaching the common room. Not him. Hands shoved in his pockets, robe open, uniform already artfully askew, he got past the eagle knocker by asking it a scathing question of his own, solving the riddle, making a nuisance of himself and generally stumping the knocker all in one go. Stupid knocker, trying to make him say smart things. Well haha! There had been no audience, that he knew of at least, so nobody needed to know! The common room was fairly packed which... whatever. |
Claire stepped into the common room. Immediatly she was overwhelmed with the beauty of it. The blue and bronze silks hung in flattering positions, the book cases full of beautiful leather bound volumes excited her, and the statue of Rowna Ravenclaw amazed her. She inhaled deeply as she felt a sense of belonging. In time she hoped to get to know her fellow 'claws but right now she was tired and in need of sleep. Way too much excitement for one day. And off she went up the stairs to the girls dormitory. |
Dahlia staggered into the common room, happy to be finished with the steps. The room was already crowded with students and more were pouring in to sit and talk among the comfortable looking couches. She debated going to sit down, but the desire to see her sleeping quarters overcame her. She could always come back down afterwards. |
They aren't suckish Syd ^_^ Quote:
"It took a while to choose mine," she said, after Dallin mentioned that it put him into Ravenclaw pretty quickly. "Must mean your very clever, and it's very obvious!" Or that he didn't fit into any other house. Unlike Aimée, whom it had struggled to find a house she did fit into. Mental sigh. "It was enchanted by the Founders, so I wouldn't be surprised," Aimée admitted, nodding because she'd felt the same. "It is very weird, zough. Must be some very powerful magic." How on Earth a hat could see into her mind was beyond her, let alone to know more about her than she did. She hoped she hadn't been thinking anything embarrassing when she'd put the Hat on - there again, who could the Hat tell? It was a hat! He could see her as a Hufflepuff? "I shall take zat as a compliment, yes?" she laughed. She wasn't sure what she could see Dallin as, but she put that down to not knowing much about him. "I zink you'd make a good 'Ufflepuff, too," she said with a smile, "Alzough I zink you will make a fantastic Ravenclaw." Quote:

Let's get some convos going...i'm cloning Satine to help out. Quote:

Quote:
Quote:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* [For anyone walking in] Satine flicked her right wrist and her wand shot into her wand hand. She reached in a bag and pulled out a 10 inch wide rolled up piece of parchment. With a flick of her wand, the parchment rose up and unrolled. She levitated it against the wall across from the entrance and pasted it to the wall with a charm. The banner read: Yeppers that was Satine...just call her the Welcoming Crew...haha...she thought with a satisfied grin as she settled into the couch again. |
Quote:
Quote:
"Oh, hi I'm Stephen, fifth year and this is already my second year here," he laughed and shook Satine's hand. Then looking at what she was doing, Stephen's eyes followed the banner that was being levitated. Not many people are so enthusiastic about meeting others. "So are you like the welcoming committee?" he asked. |
Quote:
"I guess you could say I'm the unofficial welcoming committee..." she said with a little giggle. "I just wanna make sure everyone feels welcome cuz it quite often happens that someone gets into Ravvie that didn't want to be here, so we want them to feel great about it from day one...or they could make all of our lives horrible." she said thinking back to her third term when just that happened. She focused back on their convo, "So if you were new last term, where did you transfer in from?" she asked as she pushed a stray bright purple strand of hair behind her left ear. |
She's an unhappy little girl at the moment. Heh. Quote:

Willow looked around. This was so cool! She flopped on a settee and looked around for someone she knew. When she saw no-one, she decided to read some of Hogwarts, a History. |
For Anyone, and Everyone! Jacob walked into the common room, a little out of breath. He had forgotten how much work it was to get up those step. Seven whole flights of steps, maybe he needed to walk up and down his house steps 7 times every few hours to keep in good stair climbing condition. When He walked through the common room door, the first thing that caught his eye was a large banner... it sort of hurt to look at, especially considering how tired he was. He needed to sleep off all the food in him... or just rest, cause you know, with him being captain and all, he didn't want people to be like 'wheres Jacob?' on the first day back, he had to be out with the others. Jacob spotted that HIS couch was still empty... he power walked straight towards it. And without a moments hesitation, threw himself onto the couch before anyone could take it. He spread himself the full length of the couch and had an expression on his face that said 'MY Couch! Don't Touch!' or maybe he was wearing the other face... the one that said 'I just farted, keep away!' either way, he was keeping people away from HIS Couch. |
anyone else too :) Guh. I miss playing with my fellow 'claws Quote:
Jim's eyebrow went up. What was with the purple? "So I heard." He gestured around the room, having had watched her make the rounds, all excited and eager and, in Jimmy's view, entirely too... too... something. He grinned crookedly at her though and leaned forward a bit in his seat, offering his hand. "James S. Wilkes." Paaause. "Sixth year." He watched her put the banner up and snorted quietly to himself in amusement. Surely the banner should say, 'too bad on not getting a better house, but you'll probably be okay.' Quote:
"Well, you know. Keep it to yourself." He winked at her, only half serious. Come on. Everyone had something going on, some reason to mope or whatever. He definitely did. But no way was he gonna let ... Ravenclaw was like a rainbow of hair. He looked at Satine and then at Ellie and grinned again. Quote:
Grin. |
Somebody and AnybodyXD Quote:
I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest man can't hold me for much more than a few minutes. What am I? Shaking her head ruefully at the Ravenclaw knocker, Ivory made her way into the common room. She'd missed the daily riddles. Oh it was good to be back. Looking around fondly at the common room, Ivory passed a hand over the Rowena Ravenclaw statue. Yup, good to be back. Although....there was a part of her that was just short of complaining. Eying the entranceway a little bit to make sure no one was watching, she engaged in a few much needed stretches. Those stairs were killer, especially after the lazy summer she'd had. Gripping the toes of her shoes, she gave a sigh of relief as the stretch relieved some tension. Every other year she'd come back from a very active break and those seven flights of stairs hadn't bothered her in the slightest but after being cooped up for the last couple of weeks...well suffice to say her calves had been complaining like no body's business. Now to sit down, lay back and enjoy the common room in the first available couch space. Spying one almost directly to her right, Ivory let herself fall back. That is until she caught herself at the last minute since it seemed someone had just launched himself at the couch, taking up the whoole thing. Stumbling over herself for a second in order to not completely fall on the guy, she couldn't really help the elbow that probably landed right around his stomach area. At least it wasn't her knee right? Mumbling I'm so sorries she looked wide eyed at the guy sprawled out there. Was it just her or did he look constipated? |
*smirrrk* Well....Finlay assumed that he should probably make an appearance at the common room. He was prefect and all, probably a good idea. The thing was, he wasn't really in a hurry to get there, so he did only just casually walk in. Maybe he could just wave and then go again. That could work pretty well. But someone did catch his attention as he actually got into the common room. A nice big banner welcoming people into Ravenclaw. Well that was pretty good, he didn't have to do it...which was always a good idea. "Nice Banner..." He commented outloud, glancing around the common room. Yeah. That was right. Prefect in the housseee. |
Quote:
"And I intended to," she said, coldly. She would probably regret this unfriendly interaction later, when she was more herself. But it wasn't like he really cared or anything. "Unless you'd like to hear about it?" But...she didn't want to tell him. Say no, kid, say no. And she caught him looking at her and the other girl and GRINNING. "What?" |
Quote:
Willow spotted a couch with a guy sitting on it. Noticing the arm rest was empty, she sat down. |
GOSH he still doesn't know about the prefect thing, does he Rachie? O_O Quote:
"Sure. Go ahead. Tell me everything." Grin. "Get it out of your system. Take a load off." Such an innocent smile on Jimmy's face. "What? Nothin'. You have pretty hair, s'all." Still innocent. |
lilly-anne made her way into the common breathing in a sigh oh it was good to be home she thought talking in the blue and bronze. yeap this was gunna be a good year she could feel it. smiling she walked over to the fireplace spotting a large welcome banner, which she laughed at, on her way before letting herself collapse into one of the comfy blue arm chairs and watching as the embers burt in the fireplace. |
Margery stumbled into the common room, a mass bundle of energy dying to finally see where she's going to be staying. She looked around and gasped. she was amazed at what she saw! She was so excited to be here. She looked around to see if she knew anybody, or at least hoping someone would talk to her. |
Some besties them two are. :P Quote:
NO. Not happening. Pretty hair? "Well thanks." She could accept a compliment. And now she knew she had 'pretty hair'. To go with her 'cute nose' she supposed. She sat up straight and rolled her eyes. She supposed she should start acting nicer, right? Maybe. At least get her mind off what was putting her in such a sour mood. "'m Ellie." Formal introduction. |
Quote:
turning around Lilly-Anne spotted a young girl entre the common room with a look of awre she smiled. "hey" she said with a smile " 'm Lilly-Anne 'm a fourth year, are you a first year?" |
Notice me, take my hand, RP with me, and be my friend Eino entered the Ravenclaw Common Room slightly disoriented, he did not remember Hogwarts being this large. It must have grown during the summer, he thought, because it made sense. It was either that or he had gotten smaller, but that was silly to believe. Luckily, he ran into a portrait that had been most helpful to him and taught him the way to the common room in exchange to be tickled. Finally back in the common room, he noticed how busy it had gotten since when he first left in the morning to take Faustus to the owlery. Sadly, he could not find any of his friends, and he thought it would be rude to interrupt the others, who all seemed either very much engaged in their work (being typical Ravenclaws), or socializing. |
"Yes i am a first year! i am indeed! I'm so excited to be here and meet everyone and see everything! I'm Margery Gellantara by the way" Margery fought her drooping eyes, not wanting to waste this oppurtunity to meet a new person. Knowing she could only stay up a little bit longer, she was bound and determined to make the best out of this conversation. |
Its not their fault they both keep getting distracted by girls. Quote:
Shrug. It was just the truth. Jimmy Wilkes, telling it like it is. And he did have a fondness for red hair. As a direct result of the crush he'd had on Cameron last term. And an eye roll. He marked that up as success. Ellie wasn't the only one looking for distractions after all, and irritating a.... what, she was about third year yeah? Yeah. Irritating a third year was a suitable distraction. "James S. Wilkes." Quote:
Someone needed some sugar or something. Get a little pep in his step. He patted himself down, found what he was looking for in his pocket and then tossed the chocolate frog in the kid's direction. "Here kid, catch." Think fast and all that. |
Hah. Truuue. Quote:
She wasn't gonna bother being weirded by the full name thing. Naww. She didn't have the energy to. She was just glad to be distracted. "What would the S be for?" |
Quote:
"nice to meet you Margery, how do you like Hogwarts so far is it every you thought it would be?" she asked the young girl |
Quote:
|
Quote:
Stroke it. "Sacheverell." He admitted, chuckling quietly to himself. It could be worse right? Probably. He could have a girl's name or something. "You can call me Jimmy or Jim if you like. Up to you." He had people calling him a whole bunch of varieties of his name after all. "Really though, why so glum? I mean, I'll stop askin' if you really want and... I don't mind distracting you a bit." You know with things like hitting that unfortunate kid in the face with chocolate. Facepalm. Quote:
"Its..." Merlin. "Merlin, are you another one the hat missorted? Tough luck mate, it got me too." Head shake. "Its chocolate. You eat it. Trust me, I'm not the type to have a frog for a pet." No. No he was the type who had a monkey for a pet. Legit. |
Quote:
Sacheverell. Right. Never gonna remember that. She nodded slowly. It was...interesting. Maybe one of those names that had an interesting backstory, no? As for his first name, "Sorry, too late for that. I go by what I'm introduced with." Hence why she only ever introduced herself as 'Ellie'. She wouldn't be able to stand being called 'Eliana' all the time. So James it was. Until and unless she came up with something creative of her own. But she only gave nicknames to people she liked. SIGH. "Reyn was replaced by some snobby old hag." Of course, Ellie didn't think she was old OR a hag, but it made her feel much better to say she was. "Nia graduated, JD left, and that kid," she jerked her head to Jacob on the couch, "was apparently made Captain." SNORT. And here she was, friendless with a lunatic armed with a beater's bat to lead her in the one thing that was her only escape from the world. "Good." The distracting bit. "Cuz I really don't mind being distracted right now." Yes, she'd seen his toss and the other kid's fail catch. "Slick." |

"Hey" she said with a smile. "i'm great better than last year, how was your summer?" she asked with a happy smile. |

Reyn? Reyn. ????????????????????????????????? Jim wrinkled his nose and then... "Oh, that professor." Shrug. Who cared? Really. Who cared about ANY professor? Ever? All they were good for was trying to learn you stuff, and Jimmy didn't much want them to think he was capable of any such thing. He was still in serious denial about being sorted into Ravenclaw the term before. "Nia. She was awesome." And hot. And awesome. It was entirely possible Jimmy Wilkes had a thing for girls with POWER. He ignored the JD thing, vaguely recalling the guy from classes or whatever and turned his head back to couch dude. AKA Jacob. AKA Captain. Epic. "Why's that a bad thing?" Not that he was judging, just... really, why? He grinned at Ellie again over the distraction thing. "You and me both, kid." Yeah. She WAS. Compared to him at least. Wink. "Always. Its what I do." The slick thing. He was only mostly kidding. Quote:
"Nice to meet you, Eino. I'm Jimmy." Truth. |
Quote:
"it was alright" she said with a small smile "nothing intresting happened, really except harley fell off her broom when we were play quiddich when they came to vist" |
Quote:
Her face brightened with Nia, though. She WAS awesome. That was just her. And they needed to communicate. Ellie HAD to know if she'd gotten on the Harpie's team. "Oh really? And what are you distracting yourself from?" Since he obviously didn't care about the most epic professor to walk the halls of Hogwarts. Heh....slight exaggeration there. |
Quote:
|
Quote:
But, back to distractions. He was such the expert that he managed to do it for himself. He grinned again, all devil-may-care. "You didn't answer my question." He pointed out, gesturing towards Jacob with his chin, keeping his eyes on Ickle redheaded Ellie. Quote:
"Sixth." Pause. "Yeah he's.... pretty furry." His eyes trailed up to the stairs to the dorm but he didn't make any moves to go get him. "I just have the one, his name is Rufus." |
Quote:
Oh right, the Jacob question. Ellie sighed. "He's not sane," she said flatly, as if he couldn't hear. "He'll kill us all on the pitch. He thinks he's a pirate. And sees things that aren't really there." Ya know, crazy people stuff. Andddd wait. PET?! Furry pet?! "What kind of pet is Rufus?!" MAJOR distraction. |
Quote:

O_O Creepy. Quote:
Jim sat up a little straighter, apparently worried until... "Brilliant." Insanity was a sign of genius after all. "That'll keep things interesting yeah? And maybe play a few mind games with the other teams." "A Pygmy Marmoset." As if that was no big deal, Jimmy answered quite matter-of-factly. Quote:
???? Jimmy supposed he'd probably thrown that chocolate frog just a touch harder than necessary. Just... you know, enough to knock any sort of sense out of Eino but then again.... Insanity was a sign of genius. And sometimes a sign of insanity. "See the thing is, Rufus? He's only about this big." Jim measured a shorttinysmall distance with his hands. "You might manage... nipple warmers or something, but thats about it." Not that he was... offering his monkey up to Eino. "Rufus does serve a purpose already but.... I guess we could negotiate something if and when he dies, assuming its of natural causes and not, you know, arranged." As for Rufus' purpose? Well, the ladies loved him. |

for anyone :] Vashti entered the pleasantly familiar common room, one of the only places in Hogwarts that she felt at ease in this year. She figured it was because of all the blue which reminded her of home, especially her bedroom which was full of blue things, just like this room. Except this room was much bigger and much more crowded than her bedroom was. She recognized a few people, though not all, but the ones she did know seemed engrossed in their conversations, so she decided not to interrupt them. Instead she plopped herself onto an empty sofa a little off to the side and pulled out a book from her bag to occupy herself. |
Vashti? If you want. Or something. Anyone. EVERYONE. Do it. Kellen Stern deserved to be Head Boy. He really did. He really did. Neptune repeated this over and over to herself as she walked up to the Common Room alone, without her best friend. She'd not even asked him to walk her up, figuring he'd have all the firsties and duties and such. Distracted, it took her a few tries to get past the Ravenclaw knocker, but finally.... Miss Bott arrived. Hello banner....? She pursed her lips at it, but didn't comment. Neptune didn't need to look to know Jim was there. Of course he was. She'd have GLADLY went to sit with Finny, but, again, Jim was there. Soooooooooooooooooooo, she went to sit in an open chair, and play with her curls. And not look around. And wait for Kellen. Or something. La la la. |
Quote:
"I know, right?" It was kind of crazy to think of how the hat was so old, but it still knew what to do, and it (apparently) did a good job doing what it did. "It's a smart idea, too, to have a hat do the sorting once the founders were gone." He had made sure to read up on the sorting hat after his encounter with Ellie, so he knew a little more about it than he had before going to Diagon Alley. He just couldn't remember whose idea it'd been to use the hat in the first place. He chuckled and nodded once. "It was most definitely a compliment." Because girls liked any sort of compliment, didn't they? They should, at least, because compliments were good. "I hope I make a good Ravenclaw." He smiled. "But even if I don't, the house is stuck with me." He gave Aimée a teasing look, as if to say and you're stuck with me too, so sorry. Quote:
A flash catching his eye, he looked up to see the banner Satine had made. "Nice," he said appreciatively, nodding toward the banner with a smirk on his face. |
and anyone else who wants to play SPOILER!!: Ivory Jacob looked around the room for other peoples. Ellie, some kid, some kid, some kid, a random banner...?, some kid, Vashti. It all seemed rather normal... a bit of a quiter start to the term, but it was still somewhat normal. But it was abnormal at the same time, by now someone should have had a fight, or someone being stupid. But everything was normal... to the extent that it became abnormal in the standards of hogwarts... What ever, Jacob didn't care, quiet is good. But without warning only mere seconds after he had laid down and taken everything in, someone almost sat on him, he didn't even have time to react. But luckily, the person caught herself before they did, but consequently elbowed him in the stomach. "OOOPH" he exclaimed his expression of 'MINE!' changed to some pain as the girl started with her apologies... again Jacob didn't understand what was with Hogwarts people and apologies, Jacob would have just laughed and been on his way. He rubbed his stomach as he sat up. The nerve of some people. He waved off he apologies, and said a simple "its fine" before sitting up completely and making room on the couch. "You know, you could have just asked to sit down. You didn't have to elbow me" quite mean Quote:

She turned and glanced at the banner and then turned around to face Dal, "Thanks, did it do it's job by making you feel welcome yet?" she asked while cocking her head to the side. Quote:

"It es kind of creepy zough, if you ask me," Aimée said, shuddering. "Zink 'ow many 'eads zat 'at 'as been on. People like 'Arry Potter and Dumbledore..." she trailed off a little; surely she wasn't worthy to put on the same head gear as people like that, even if it had only been for a second? Then again, it was something kinda special. "Yes, I s'pose et es. Imagine if ze teachers 'ad to do it manually; zere probably be lots of questions or somezing, to find out what you are like," she said thoughtfully. And imagine how much time that would've taken? Yes, the hat idea was very clever. Aimée blushed a little when he confirmed that it was 'most definitely a compliment' and giggled. Oh, it was nice to be complimented by such cute boys, was it not? And Dallin was good-lucking, and she was sure she wasn't the only person who had noticed. Shaking her head to clear it and set her thoughts straight, she smiled. "I am sure you will, Dallin," she said. "Ah, and we are stuck with each ozer, so we will 'ave to make do, no?" she said teasingly, in reply to the look her gave her which seemed to say a similar thing. |

But then he went on...and...well. "So...He's like...a distraction of sorts?" Like...Pshhh, Jacob can't lead a Quidditch team, and then they turn out to be AWESOME and win! "Brilliant." Yeah, her mind can change quickly. Oh my Merlin! "A pygmy marmoset...as in a tiny, little, adorably, little monkey type thinggy?!" She sooo wanted to see it! Quote:
Quote:
And CANDY! "Thanks," Ellie said, taking the wand. |

Eino, Vashti, Neptune, Jacob, Satine, Ellie others by association, anyone in earshot Quote:
... he legit thought that Jim was in need of something snazzy to turn his regular handsome into very handsome? Deeeee-lusional this one. Entertaining though. James liked him. "You know what roadkill is, Eino?" He asked casually. Quote:
........ Jim yawned casually and pretended like his heart didn't just stop when he saw Neptune walk in. Quote:
He got a bit distracted, in spite of himself at the sight of a book, and his eyes zeroed in on the cover, trying to see what it was. Quote:
He smirked when Jacob hollered at Ellie and offered a little wave of acknowledgement, which was really more like a casual can't-quite-be-bothered, flick of his fingers. Quote:
"I'd remember if I had." Jimmy added. Yeah what with that hair of hers and... he met her eyes properly. A little bit different, this Satine. He gave her a proper, genuine smile. Quote:
Jacob Blunt, Quidditch Captain. A boy barely sane. Ravenclaws, we can enchant him. We have the magic. We have the capability to create the world's first distractingly-insane-not-deaf-ticking-timebomb Captain. Jacob Blunt will be that boy. Better than he was before. Better. Stronger. Faster. Nanananaaaah Nananananahh Jim might have been humming under his breath. He trailed off from his imaginings and glanced at Ellie when she spoke again, offering a grin of acknowledgement. "Well yeah. Little Monkey. Thats my Rufus." |

"O I wasn't here last year...I got chosen for a study abroad program with the Wizard schools....but that was the first year I'd missed..." she said with a little nod, "And let me tell you I am soooooo very happy to be back...Hogwarts is leaps and bounds better than the other six schools I visited...most of them were just....well...were just crazy.." she said the last part quickly with her left eyebrow cocked up. "Where did you transfer in from? Maybe I got to spend time there." she asked. Quote:
|
Quote:
"I transferred from the Beauxbatons school. It was closer to home but I caused some trouble there so it was better to come here and actually behave," he laughed. well, it was true and he did promise to finish school here. |

Timothy sat down with notebook in hand, he was writing a letter home. As he always did this time of year. It would be five years today since he first met Calamity and Catastrophe, Tavelon, and the few others that dotted his past. Now long gone, their spirits departing this realm. Timothy was unfortunate that way. Left here, as his friends departed. Oh well that is the way things went, or so he thought. He spun his wand in his hand practising the fighting moves he had been taught the last several years. He was good at them, so he figured he would be the perfect candidate for helping whatever malice plagued Hogwarts this year. |
Ughhh. If only Neptune could plug her ears. She couldn't help but overhear talk of that monkey. Neptune turned herself so that the ill effects that monkey had on her couldn't possibly show. Unless he could read her shoulders. Meh. Quote:
Loooooking for someone to drown out the other conversations, Neptune focused on the surrounding boys. BOY. Neptune simply watched him, tried to make eye contact and get his attention without being... over-the-top about it. Hello..Boy. Quote:
Wand waving? Already??? It looked sort of violent and not necessarily safe for Neptune, being in the general vicinity. "Excuse me, but what are you doing?" She SO hunched down behind a pillow after asking. Errr.... right. "Finny?" He was Prefect and all. His job, in her opinion, to make sure she stayed safe in the Common Room. And to save her. And he was like, a good HER friend, TOO. "Finnnnnny? Come sit with me." |
Quote:
But oh. There was his name, and Tuney was calling him over. Well that was safe right? She had called him over...not the other way around. And they were friends. He was allowed to sit with his friends. Sooo....finn did make his way over to her, eyeing the dude who was nearby. Why on earth was he spinning his wand like that. "Err...do you wanna stop that? You'll put someones eye out." And that was not good. He was a prefect, not a healer. and Tuney. Neptune was hidden behind a pillow. "Tune...you okay?" |
Quote:
He bowed low. "So sorry. I don't believe we have met." He outstretched his hand, "Timothy Danford, at your service." |
Quote:
Neptune eeeep'd for the poor fellow, Timothy the scary wand waver. "I didn't MEAN to get him in trouble with Ravenclaw's new Prefect." Giggle. Well, not much trouble anyway. Neptune rearranged herself in her chair and patted the space beside her. "I'm fine. Perfect, even. Never better." MMHMMM. "Sit with me," she requested again. Quote:
Neptune GIGGLED. "No harm, I suppose." She was, without question, impressed with the wand sheathing and bowing. It showed, too, in and among the giggles. Neptune offered him her hand, palm down. "No, we haven't. My pleasure Timothy Danford." GIGGLEGIGGLEGIGGLE. "I'm Neptune. Neptune Bott. And this is Finlay Carmichael. He's the Prefect for our House." He was like, UBER super important, see? |
Quote:
He extended his hand to the prefect, to shake. "So sorry sir. It is a pleasure to meet you as well. Hopefully I will not run afoul of you often." He laughed slightly. |
Quote:
And now that dude was bowing too her. At least someone would haha. Because Finlay was not that cool. People bowed to him. Not the other way around. "You know Tuney....I can introduce myself." He smirked, nudging his friend. Tottally joking. Now. Finlay could totally get used to getting called Sir. "oh I'm sure you'll be fine." Finn smiled at him, shaking his hand. He did though, feel like this was a slightly weird conversation. |
Quote:
"You are new here, then, Timothy? Do you prefer Tim?" TIMMY. He was SO a Timmy. She winked at him for good measure. Quote:
Though, Timothy might have taken the offer if he hadn't. "You look good, by the way. You're all the right colors." As in, not bruised or purple-eyed. |
Quote:
"No ma'am, I have been here five long years. But I return to Russia to live, during the breaks. I have family there you see." He smiled at the wink. She was very...nice He grinned at both of them. And looked around awkwardly for a few seconds. "So what do you think is in store for Hogwarts this year?" |
Quote:
All the right colors? Finn grinned, tickling her a little. "Well....I haven't got punched in a while." And he wasn't about to get that changed....not just yet. What did this year have in store. "No more exams for me?" And that was good news to his ears. |
Quote:
Ooops. Neptune might have been embarrassed that she hadn't ever made Timmy's acquaintance before, but he'd called her ma'am and that was .... giggle.... just precious. "I don't live in this country either. And my brother-in-law does ... things .... in Russia. So I have family there, too!" Like, ohmygosh, so much in common! Neptune patted the arm of the chair, the small and uncomfortable space at the elbow Finny wasn't already claiming. If Timmy wanted, he could sit there. If he wanted. Neptune sandwich with boy bread! Perfect. Distraction. "Ohh, I don't know. Suppose, being Ravenclaws, we'll learn tons? I'm going to make nice with the new security fellow. I think he has a nice face." Gevrik or whatever his name had been. Quote:
It did sound good. Right. GIGGLE. "Can I be the Princess?" Neptune.... bleh. Her eyes cut to Jim, despite it all. She was remembering something stupid. Bleh. BLEH. Stupid. "....Princess Bott and Prince Carmichael. I think I need a crown." Rowena had one, after all. And who else could POSSIBLY fill in as Princess of Ravenclaw? Clear winner here! |
Quote:
"Aye and may those tests come and end quickly!" He laughed again, "you have friends and family in Russa? Awesome!" They did have quite a bit in common.... And now she wanted him to sit with her....interesting. He sat down on the chair's arm. As so that he would not squash her between the tow of them. "Who do you have in russia my lady?" |
Quote:
A crown?? Finlay laughed, glancing up at the statue of Rowena. Maybe they could get a little pawn person to make her a crown. "You need one." He nodded, grinning at her. she could find her own though.... |
Waves to everyone she knows Quote:
Grimacing slightly as he waved off her apologies, Ivory stood there for just a split second debating whether to sit down or not. Deciding it'd be ridiculous to just rush off after everything, she sat down. If only to change this guy's view of herself. You know, as NOT an unmannered, mean elbowing individual. The joking approach yes that was probably the way to go. "Oh but this way was much more effective." Grinning mischievously so he'd know she was joking she leaned back in the cushion appreciating the absence of stairs. Except when he yelled. She gave a little jump at that. Who was he yelling to? Looking across the room, she gave the group of people a little wave. It seemed everyone was here. Jimmy, Neptune, Satine. Eying the banner which was her work no doubt, Ivory gave her a thumbs up that she hoped she saw. It was perfect for greeting new Ravenclaws. She'd have to go over and meet them all in a bit, especially the Ravenclaw male prefect but for now resting. Sitting right here in this couch. |
Quote:
Booooring. Snore. Yawn. He gave AWESOME gifts though. Her thoughts wondered to whether or not he'd send her something for starting back to school....? Hmmmm. "My lady?" Neptune poked at his elbow after Timmy sat. "As in... yours? You might have to fight Finny for that. He just claimed me as his Princess." GIGGLE. Kidding! .....Sort of! Quote:
"I do need one....," Neptune agreed, the hint of expectation certainly there. Her big blue eyes widened and her lip pouted a little. Wouldn't Finlay make that happen for her? Prefect Carmichael would get them crowns to parade around in? Wibble. |
Timothy smiled slightly. "I wouldn't dare fight a prefect. I hear they have all the power. And I would say that you are your own person, and not belonging to anyone." He grinned like an idiot. "I hope I am not crushing you madam. Interesting hotels? I don't believe I have heard of him, perhaps my uncle knew him." He adjusted his wrist holster slightly, the stupid thing was chaffing again. Grrrr. He waved slightly to the other person who was waving then looked back to Miss Neptune. |
Quote:
Finn laughed. Her little pout was cute. But Finlay didn't even know how to make a crown. He wasn't a little craft person. "I'll see what I can do." Finn nodded with a smile. He'd ask a house elf haha. |
Quote:
She instantly went into some small giggles trying to be mean and make an ugly face and then focused back on his words. "O really! BEAUX!!!" she said smiling again, "With my travel abroad program, I was placed there for six weeks.....it's was my favorite school, of course after Hogwarts, but that I visited during the whole program." she said quickly and excitedly as she glanced around the room. B]"Man, you must've been really lucky to be around all those lovely ladies there:"[/B] she said teasingly remembering all of the just beautimous girl she had met there...yes they were the epitome of a lady. |
Quote:
"Fighting is dumb anyway," Neptune announced. "I don't think it's attractive at all. Boys are so... stupid ... for doing it." Hmph. ... squishing? Far from! Neptune petted his outer arm. "I assure you, if you were bothering me, you'd know. I'd tell Finny here on you. Like before." Giggle. Neptune grinned, her way of sort of acknowledging she'd been silly to tell on him before about the wand thing. Timmy was OBVIOUSLY harmless. Quote:
She grinned and grinned and BEAMED when he agreed to crowning construction for HER. "You are the BEST prefect EVER, Finny! BEST! And my personal favorite!" |
Quote:
An achievement that didn't quite do what he'd hoped since his parents just decided he was 'misunderstood' and he didn't get the attention from them that he'd hoped even when he had been temporarily tutorless. "Oh? Great." No really. Jimmy tried to sound casual about it, like he didn't actually find the idea interesting, but he DID. So. "You must be pretty smart then." He added, raising one eyebrow. "And... I've lived in England my whole life, so, not really from anyplace exciting. Wiltshire if you wanted specifics." Lies. He was from Wiltshire but it was actually rife with history and secretly Jimmy appreciated that. Quote:
SPOILER!!: Neptune, Finn, Timothy ... what was that he heard? Jim turned his head slowly. ... and saw his best friend's PREFECT badge ... and promptly burst into laughter. Was that a JOKE? Hahhh! Who's idea was that one? Was it bribery? Eeeeexcellent. Quote:
SPOILER!!: more Neptune, Finn, Timothy ... and then things got funnier. I wouldn't DARE fight a prefect? Haaaaahaaaaa. That wouldn't change a thing for Jim thats for sure. If Finn's nose needed breaking, Jimmy'd go on ahead and do it. Again. But he WAS happy for his best friend, and also for himself by association. Finlay Carmicheal was JUST the kind of guy to let things slide. Did the professors know that? He chuckled to himself and then, still half listening to the interaction over there his eyes came to rest on Neptune. The amusement faded and Jim pulled his wand in silence, catching Neptune's eye and even though it was sort of against his THING about not letting people see/know he could do stuff, Jimmy went right ahead and conjured a crown for the so called princess. Except it was more of a tiara, which he levitated over to Finn. "Here you go prefect Carmicheal. Just a little something... lying around." Hah. The badge thing was still funny. It was. He grinned at his friend and raised his eyebrows. Seriously? |
Quote:
"So Vindictus isn't off his rocker!" No, he was genius! This was soooo exciting! And back to the monkey. "Awwwwww," she squealed. That was so...so...exotic! It's totally different from the boring owls and kneazles that you saw around Hogwarts. |
Tegz too :D Quote:
"Of course Im the best." Because well he was totally and epically awesome. Although he heard someone laughing....like really loudly. Finlay looked up and shook his head. He should've known that it would be Jimmy. He have to go talk to his best friend soon, because well the boy did find something really amusing. Oh. That he was a prefect? Well. That was expected really. "Sure it was lying around Wilkes." Finn smirked at him, eying the tiara. It was pretty, and he totally knew how Jimmy at gotten it. He grinned at his friend once, before turning back to Neptune. "Seems you have a crown now..." |
SPOILER!!: Jim and Finny Neptune Bott was NOT amused at the laughing. Not the reason for the laughing, and certainly CERTAINLY not from the male person creating the ruckus. She rolled her eyes before hers, too, settled on Mr. Wilkes. And the showing out. And the tiara. "I don't want that, Finny." If she could just get a good GLARE going. Come on face. She couldn't do it. Neptune only managed to wibble as the tiara came closer, and not the practiced and fake sort of wibble she used to get her way. "I want it to be from you." Not from Jim. Even if it was sort of perfect and beautiful and purple and flowery. Sigh. "Yours will be better. It's a fact, Prefects make better tiaras and crowns." |
Neptune, Eino, Jacob, Ellie, Jimmy & others who're there with them :] Quote:
Quote:
Raising and eyebrow, she lowered the book and was startled to find someone standing right there. Merlin, how had she not heard him come over? Or noticed him standing there? She must've been more engrossed in the book than she thought. "Um...can I help you?" she asked. Quote:
Quote:
She shook her head at both of them, not caring whether they even noticed it or not. Quote:
She managed a smile in return but noticed his eyes shift from her down to...something. What? Did she have mud on her shoes? Was her shoelace untied? She glanced down as well to see if she could figure out what he was staring at. Oh. Her book? She held it up a little so he could see it better. "It's a Chronicles of Narnia book," she added, just in case he still couldn't read the print from that distance. |
Quote:
"I feel very welcome now," he told her, recovering from his uncharacteristic embarrassment and smirking. "Are you, like..." he frowned, searching for the right word. "The welcoming person?" Yeah, that was so not the word he'd been looking for. "Or are you just really nice?" Or possibly both? Quote:
Dallin's look of thoughtfulness became completely blank. Harry Potter? Dumbledore? Even Voldemort had worn that exact same hat to be placed into a house. "Weird." He finally said, making a face. Sure, it was cool that the man who had saved the world had worn that hat, but think of the other millions of students that had, too. And did the hat ever take a shower? When she mentioned the teachers and questions, Dal looked down at the floor. "A girl told me they gave you a test for sorting. A challenge." He shuffled one foot a couple times before looking back up at Aimée. "I didn't believe her." He added quickly. I made her blush! ...Again! The triumphant thought brought another smirk to form on his lips. It slipped up into a real smile, though, when she spoke. She'd said pretty much the same thing he'd been thinking. Only she'd worded it a bit different and added 'each other' in it... ahem. "I'm sure I can live with that," he said non-chalantly. "It's you I'm worried about, since you're stuck with me." Heh. It was true, he could be a bit tough to be around sometimes. He knew that. |
Quote:
hmmmm...not too sure what's going on in this one's head... "I don't know about smart, just kind of willing to do that kind of crazy stuff."...and I needed a break from Hogwarts for a little while to figure out everything and clear my mind and make myself...well me...... hmmm..."O Wiltshire...I'm familiar with that area." she said quickly following his gaze towards the Prefect and the happenings over there...with a little giggle she tried focusing back on their conversation as she sent a crown flying through the air towards the prefect. She winked at him and then said through her giggles, "Good one...It'll look great on that head...It's almost as shiny as the badge..."...wow I wish I was a quick thinker like that... she said still smiling from the instance... |
Hmph. HMPH. Stupid entrance thingy-ma-jig. Spike's lips were pursed together in frustration as he stepped into the Common Room. If he wasn't sure he belonged in this house before, he knew it now. How was he meant to know the answer to that riddle thingy? He'd been standing outside a good ten minutes trying to figure the thing out. If he had to do that everyday to get in... His head hurt to think about it. He pouted and looked round the room. "Well this is it, Matilda," he said softly, his eyes wide at the variety of people there. "Our new home. If we can ever get into it again, of course." Now what? |
Quote:
She smiled even more when he looked back up and she could see his eyes, "Well great!!! Glad to know it's working for someone! And I am very happy to be the one to welcome you!" she said tilting her head to the right side slightly as she twisted her long purple necklace around her right pointer finger near her neck....welcoming person or just nice? hmmm....good question.... "Well, I guess for you, I'm a little bit of both." she said with a little wink...what are you doing? are you flirting....o my Satine......she thought as her cheeks got a lite shade of pink on them. She blinked quickly focusing on not letting her purple irises change colors...Focus focus focus.... She glanced over to a nearby trophy and noticed that her eyes hadn't changed but they did have a little bit of a pinky-purple shade. Instantly she started in on another subject trying to get everything under control...this is not like me......., "So...ummm...have you met some great peeps over the last few hours?" she asked slowly meeting his eyes again genuinely interested in his answer... |
I guess this affects everyone Jacob stared at the girl curiously... she sat down? why... he only made room to be polite, he didn't expect her to actually take the seat. Why would anyone wanna sit with Jacob, these people were so weird. Jacob nodded in agreement, yes it was effective. Jacob looked around the room, he decided to just ignore what Ellie and the other kid were talking about. and the common room was getting noisier... but still nothing out of the ordinary... it was weird that nothing weird was happening, but suddenly Sparks flew from his wand that sat in his back pocket, and his pants caught, "FIRE!" he screamed and swore loudly as his butt and were he was sitting were now on. he jumped off the couch and started running around patting his butt trying to put it out. He hit the wall, and fell back, and the butt fire was out when he hit the ground, but the couch was still on fire... Someone Put It Out! |
Quote:
She flicked her wand and said, "Aguamenti!" instantly a stream of water sprayed out of her wand and she moved her hand back and forth trying to put the fire out. She turned in the room...."Well, don't just stand there...help out everyone!" she said to anyone in listening distance. |
Robert sat on a sofa near the staircase. He started reading his History of Magic book. (which he dislikes). He sat alone and eating some cookies. Maybe he can meet with one of the first year students or another Ravenclaw students. |
Quote:
One eyebrow shot up at Satine's words. A smirk threatened to spread across Dal's face when he saw her blushing, but he worked to keep it off. He didn't know what her problem was, but for some reason he liked it when girls blushed around him. Don't ask him why, because he couldn't tell you. "Well, awesome." He said with a grin. He blinked, surprised at her sudden change of subject, but didn't question it. "In the last few hours?" He repeated, chewing on his bottom lip. "Well, I met a few cool girls at the feast, but I haven't met anyone new in Ravenclaw yet." Quote:
When he saw the fire on the couch, though, he yelled something along the lines of "MERLIN'SBEARDTHEREISAFIRESOMEONEPUTITOUTPUTITOUTPUTITOUT!" Because at that point, he had forgotten all about his wand. There was a fire on the couch, though, so it was understandable if you asked him. |
