Theo was in a fantastic mood. Pretty much because Quidditch was happening, and they were going quite well so far for him. After today's tryout, he was very much ready to chill out in the common room, since he hadn't actually spent much time in here yet, just the dormitory. He made his way over to the couch when one of those stupid pygmy puffs got in his way. Theo jumped into the air when it started hovering around his feet. Those things freaked him out.

"Oi."

The temptation to kick it was unbelievable.

He looked around to find the owner, and it only must have been Ariana Logan, who was lying there on the floor just letting her creature bother people's toes. Theo huffed loudly, because he was still mad at Ariana, then took a seat on the couch and ignored her completely.

asdfghjkl! Madison, LISTEN to us! Ariana gave her pet looks as is still hovered over people's feet and was going under the couches and chairs. Stupid puff. "come here." she said to her as she was under the couch. She watched as the pygmy just seemed to stare at her... unsure of what to do with Ari's commands. "maddy come here." she said one last time before the pink thing listened and come hoping out, just as someone was walking over and..

Asdfghjkl! Dont Step On Her!!

She cringed slightly as maddy zoomed under Theo's feet just barely making it before being squished. Theo didnt seem amused though. She sat up, picking up the puff as she did and set her on her knee. He still wasnt talking to us is seemed. She had no idea why really, shes been getting the cold shoulder from the kid since the feast when they came back last month and she had zero clues as to why.

She was looking at him, sure it might of been weird for anyone else but not her and not Kinsley.
Stare....

Blink....

Shuffle....

"ok, why arent you talking to me?" she couldnt take it anymore. If sh had a clue as to what she did that be one thing but not knowing what she did was the worst.

Mila stepped into the Common Room and spotted an empty armchair, so she sank into it, exhaling. She was so happy to be back at Hogwarts. The summer had brought her such longing to return. There were only a few other people in the Common Room, which was a bit unusual.

Mila thought with excitement in her emerald-colored eyes about what she would learn this year in her classes. Using magic, although she had grown up in a magical family, was never something she had taken for granted. She chuckled lightly to herself as she remembered the first time her younger brother had discovered his abilities, running excitedly to her with a rainbow-furred cat hanging in his arms.

Mila hugged her knees to her chest and soaked in the view of the room. She smiled as she looked into the fireplace. She brushed a strand of shiny black hair out of her eyes and sunk back into her chair, sighing with content.

Hump, she lifted her shin proud up showed the boy her back. "This is a public place so i can do what want as long as i don't change things permanently" she spoke cold to the boy and opened her mouth to say something nasty when the kid who had been sitting said something... Still with some pink things in her hands she looked at the cat who was now inside the common room. She narrowed her eyes and made a soft whistler and both her rats, Sir Blue and Little Princess looked alarmed up, knowing that there was danger if she made that sound. She wasn't really afraid for the cat, her two rats were really good trained and they knew what to do in a dangerous situation, so her two rats simply hide inside her pocket and she placed her hand over her two pets to seal them away from the cat. She didn't really wanted to have a cat for her own, but she didn't hated them, she even liked it to pet them, as long as they didn't wanted to eat her rats... She loved all different animals so she had just learned her rats to hide and to avoid danger.

"I like you cat, but he or she would be more pretty with a pink collar... Do you want to have on?" She looked at the cat and nodded to herself, yes, this cat would be really pretty with some pink...

Walking into the common room, Logan ruffled his hair feeling sleepy and just bored out of his mind. Hogwarts was so much different than Durmstrang and he wasn't liking it one bit. Flopping down on the couch, he plops his feet up on the table in front of him and lies back on the couch tilting his head back and exhaling out softly. He rubs his face trying to wake himself up before he falls asleep in another class again.

"Maddy, he doesnt want to play with you either" she giving her pink pygmy puff looks before deciding to apologize for her rude pet.."sorry, she gets excited rou......oh hell!"she looked up min sentence to see no one other then the boy from the train platform back before the term started... "they just let anyone in here this term?" the sorting hat must've been losing its magic touch cause there was no way he was a slytherin.... no way...

Salazar Slytherin Help Us All!

Logan paused as he saw some pink fluff from the corner of his eye and he knew too well what that was. Please...please don't let it be a Pygmy Puff... As Logan got a better he grit his teeth and saw the little pink ball of death make its way towards him and Logan was in full defense mode. He was ready to kick it away from him, until he saw someone speak to the thing and as Logan looked up to see who it was, he bit his tongue and swallowed spit and muttered under his breath in German. "Oh, mein gott...not you... and just like that, the images of tat cackling witch from the platform rushed through his mind and Logan winced to himself and grimmaced as she kept speaking. After then collecting on what she just said Logan felt slightly, ever so slightly offended and then dropped his feet to the ground and sat up on the couch. She doesn't like that I'm a Slytherin? Well I'll be.... Logan then smirked and then shrugged and put his hands on the couch and shrugged. "Believe it or not sweetheart...that talking hat put me right in Slytherin. Looks like you're stuck with me for one whole year. Let that seep into your thick skull." He then gives her a wink. "Now if you don't mind I'm trying to catch a couple of hours of rest so take your little ball of fur and be on your way."

"go on maddy, you can bother him.. just leave kinsley alone." shes aid to her puff as it hopped around and finally on the table.. good puff, good Madison. Yup she liked this puff. "dont even give me that, i was here first you know." six whole years before YOU came along sir."Dont. Wink. At. Me" that was NOT cute, and she did not find it attractive, though she didnt find him attractive at all, so all wenT hand in hand..
"you want rest, go to your room, others socialize down here" or go anywhere else for all she cared

Logan scoffed at her. "Listen sweetheart, you may think that you're the queen of this joint, but I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. You may act all high and mighty around others and act like you're on top of the world, but the only way to go from there...is down." He then shrugged and ruffles his hair. "But then again what do I know right? You, as you say, have been here...SO much more longer than I have."

Cutty's eyes narrowed, though Sonea might not have seen it. She had turned her back toward him and a sense of frustration had washed over him. If she had cried, which is what he was used to young girls doing at this point, then at least he would've been able to justify his anger. His hand was gripped tightly around the hilt of his wand, but he didn't aim it. Not yet. He had better plans for those pink things.

"Well, I guess you're right. It is a public space. And, it seems only fair that we can do as we like as long as it's not permanent." But he sneered in such a way as to suggest that those words had an entirely different meaning coming out of his mouth then they had when she had uttered them.

Cutty, then turned to the girl who he had been speaking to before all the pink had happened. "Sorry, Adelaide, I think I'll need to find somewhere less distracting to finish my project." He had somehow managed to say this without letting the crossness from his previous comment overlap into this one. With that, he gathered his supplies and left the common room probably to plot his little mind out.

Adelaide blinked at the conversation between Cutty and Sonea. "It is a public space...but like Cutty said: not everyone likes pink." She loved pink but would never force others to look at it on a daily basis. Lots of people didn't like pink even the slightest.

She got a sense of something...offputting from Cutty, but ignored it as the first year began to gather his things. "All right. See ya around then."

...now back to Oreo stalking the rats. Once the rats had climbed into the pink!girl's pocket, Oreo made his way over to the couch next to Adelaide. He cuddled up next to her leg and she continued to pet him. "Uh...no thanks. Oreo doesn't really like collars." She'd tried countless times but the cat couldn't stand it.

Oh great, she had noticed his stroppy silent treatment. Hopefully she would ignore him back. He didn't look at her, just crossed his legs on the sofa and pretended to be asleep. It was actually soooooo comfy. After a few moments of silence, he heard a voice right by him, which he ignored at first, but then one eye popped open to see Ariana staring at him.

He sighed dramatically and sat up straight, but didn't look at her.

"Hmmmmm?"

That's it, Theo, play dumb.

OH........ she was off talking to some other guy now, huh? Was he more important than her friendship with Theo? Probably but.... Theo couldn't help but let out a snorting noise, then he resumed his sleeping position.

"You're an idiot." she said plainly to the new snake in the room, really he was and he was bothering her, she had to find out WHY Kinsley wasn't talking to her, WHAT did she do? she had no idea but she needed to find out, she hated not talking to him. She watched as her pink Puff looked back at her before making it's way up the couch and simply STARED at Logan, heh good job fluff ball.
"Theo, she said almost pathetically "Theo, talk to me." please! or at least tell us what we did so we can sleep at night! that thought was a bit over dramatic, since the girl was sleeping just fine at night, better the most nights lately anyway. "At least tell me what i did." she said moving closer to the couch he was sitting on as she kept an eye on the puff, "Don't touch my puff." new kid, dont do it.

Logan stared right back at her looking that wicked witch right in her wicked face. He wasn't going to be intimidated by her again. No, he was putting his foot down and was going to give her a taste of her own medicine. Before he said anything, he saw that she was having problems with another guy in the common room and he chuckles softly. "I think you made your boyfriend mad sweetheart. Why don't you worry about him and we'll finish our discussion another time eh?"

Lalalaaaaa... can't hear yooooooou, Ariana. He was asleep, but still listening. Mainly for the stupid pygmy puff.

But, wait, what?

O______________________o

...

DID
.......HE
............JUST
.................SAY
.....................BOYFRIEND?

Theo stopped pretending to be asleep and gave the new kid a GLARE... "Excuse you, newbie." Yeah, he went there. "I am not her boyfriend. I am Dora Miroslava's boyfriend." AS A MATTER OF FACT. Ughfhgsjsfd, how was that not common knowledge by now?

Don't be mean, don't be mean.

"Why would I be Ariana's boyfriend? Pssht... she left me at the barrier." And at last, he glaaaared at the girl. First time he had looked at her since the dreaded incident at Kings Cross. And the award for the biggest overreaction goes to....

THEODORE KINSLEY.

Theo, oh Theo, what did we Do! Tell Us please tell us!
She was ignoring the new kid completely and talking to more normal folks over here, though she wouldn't really classify Kinsley as Normal, just more normal then the other kid, really. By now she was leaning against the couch Theo was sitting on and watching her puff but was occasionally giving puppy eyes to him, theo that is, open your eyes and see our sad face.....

what!?

New guy was CRAZY right!? "Theo is NOT my boyfriend No Offence to him really "way to young." no offence again but she was almost eighteen and he was what, fifteen, plus he already had a girlfriend and She a boyfriend. Then he started speaking and

ASDFGHJKL THATS why he was mad at her!?!? "What? Why didn't you tell me to wait for you!?" she was a witch sure but she couldnt read MINDS, Gosh Kinsley " i would of waited for you." if he asked! how was she to know he wanted to go through with her, she didnt!
by now her attention was fully on her friend and her back was towards the Stupid new kid

Raising his eyebrow at both of them he couldn't but just laugh at the way these two were acting towards each other. Wait a minute. Did that punk just call him a newbie?

Grrrrr...
anything...
but THAT word...

Logan tilted his head to the side and then shook his head and got himself up from the couch. "O...k...I see you two have some tension that needs to be resolved so. the 'NEWBIE' is gonna go relax somewhere where he doesn't have to watch the Wicked Witch and Toto fight it out."

She tried to ignore the boy while he responded to her, she was better than he and she didn't wanted to spend her time with him, she just wanted to make the common room BEAUTIFUL pink, she had never said something when the others wanted to do something, not that somebody ever had done something like this, but it was not her problem that they weren't as smart as Sonea to come up with a idea like this! So... She just rolled with her eyes when she heard the boy and ignored him when she turned him her back, she just was TOOOO good to be in his presence!

A smile crept over her face when the boy walked away from her, HA! She had won! Not that that was a surprise, she was older and better! Of course he was avoiding her and leaving!

Hun, who was now talking to her? Oh... the other girl... Hmm, maybe she was smarter? "If he wasn't so rude than i would have talked with him, but now it's just his problem that he doesn't like pink" said Sonea calmly while she looked down at her pink rat, Little Princess. She understood that not everyone liked pink, but it wasn't a bad color either, so this boy was REALLY overreacting! "Hmm, that's okay, but if you want one later, just call me, i have a lot of them" said Sonea while she thought about all the pink collars she had.

Petra walked into the common room, and to her amazement. The room was pink. Petra made her way over to Sonea who she hadn't seen since the feast. "Hey Sonea, you probably don't remember me but I'm petra we talked at the feast?"

It was nighttime, and Sophie had been up late doing some homework. See, this was why she hated homework so much. She had so many other things she could be doing, like sleeping for example, and yet here she was, finishing the last of her assignment in the pitch darkness with nothing but a few candles here and there to help her see.

She dotted the last of her i's and crossed the final few t's and closed her book. With a sigh, she rolled up her parchment and stuffed it into her bag, along with the book. Once her quill and ink was put away she closed her back and stood up with a yawn. She wanted nothing more than her nice, soft bed right about now.

On that note, she left the study area and crossed the common room heading toward the stairs that led to the girl's dorm.

Caleb had just come back from doing some of his stargazing...it was the PERFECT night to see Saturn...when he saw Sophie crossing the common room as he entered. "Hiya Sis!" he said with a grin. He really did like having his sister in the same house as him. It was cool running into her like this and knowing she was close in case he needed help on homework!

"Whatcha doinnn?" he asked with a smile. "Did you do some stargazing tonight? It's a great night to spot Saturn!" he informed her. In case she hadn't done that yet.

Sophie turned and glanced at Caleb as she continued her walk to the stairs. What had he been doing out so late at night, hmm? Astronomy homework, she would guess. Either that, or he'd suddenly turned into the Wizarding World's biggest science nerd.

"Stargazing? Erm, no thanks. I only do that when I have to," she said, yawning once again. She was just about to tell him goodnight and head to bed, when the candles flickered, and they were left in pure darkness. "Uhh," she mumbled, a million and one thoughts crossing her mind. What if something dark was out there? Not just darkness, but...dark? As in, what they learned about in DADA.

She didn't know the light spell yet, but she assumed it was easy enough. She could try it, but why would she when she knew that spell from Astronomy? "Solis Focalis!" she said, jabbing her wand forward. She did still have that magnifying glass on it, right? It must have been, because a second later, sunlight filled the area, helping her miss falling down the stairs by an inch or so. A second later, the candles flickered to life again, which was pretty weird and creepy.

"Err, I think I'm gone to bed," she said, not wanting to stay around for another light show. "Night, Caleb." She took the stairs and ended up in the dormitory a second later, where her nice, warm, safe bed awaited her.

:: Ganymede's jaw dropped as she gazed around the horribly pink Slytherin Commonroom. Her green eyes squinted and she toddled on her feet with an overwhelming rush of blood pressure.
"The dormitories better not be in this mess!" She hollered shrilly as she stormed through the room and towards the stairs. Her face was as pink as the room and she hated when people messed with her stuff.

Before going up, she wanted to confront the person who would be so evil to do this. So she paused, and spun quickly around. Her hand resting on her wand for just a moment before balling them into fists and marching about.

Here eyes darted about madly, and she walked up to a group of students and got into their faces. "Who did this? Tell me?" Her immature response to the situation was more pronounced when she stomped her foot and crossed her arms across her chest.

She stood there, fuming, waiting for an answer from mainly older students. ::

Maybe he was being extreme, making a trek all the way to the library just to do a spell on his hackysack to make it move on it's own and basically try to attack him, but it seemed like a logical move. If he simply threw the thing in the air, gravity would affect it in a way that he didn't want it to.

To test his theory, Jacques stopped at the bottom of the steps, just behind the couches and tossed the hackysack as high up as he could then with his wand, pointed -waiting till just the right moment- and as sternly as he could he commanded "Arresto Momentum." As expected, the thing merely slowed. Gravity plus lack of practice were against him and he wanted it to be perfect. This was a cool spell.

Angeal came down to the common room from the dormitories carrying a pack of exploding bonbons and a copy of Tales of Fantasies Eric had owled him a few days ago. He sat down on an armchair, opened the book and the pack. By the time he finished reading "The Misadventures of John Nicholson", he had eaten almost half pack of the bonbons. So, he stopped and took out his wand from his pocket. A good time to do some practising.

Today's mission was to make a bonbon drop into his mouth. He threw a bonbon up in the air and waved his wand. "Arresto Momentum!" ... Slooowly aaaaannnd SCORE!!! One bonbon into the mouth!
