After a long hard day of hunting, and lessons, or even just a busy weekend, your dormitories will be your haven. It will be more than just your home away from home, and it is the place where you can come and relax after a long day or a late night.

The four poster beds are surprisingly comfortable, and it's easy to get lost in the smoothfaded red velvet covers. Should you want some privacy from your chatty dorm mates, feel free to close the hangings around you and lose yourself in sleep.

After all, every lion needs their rest.

Silver's eyes widened as she entered the girl's dorm, it was exactly how her mind had described it.

Wow. She mouthed.

Now it was time to pick a bed, it seemed like there was no one here yet. First come first serve!

"Perfect!" Her smile got even bigger upon finding the bed of her liking. Before getting some rest she was going to organize all of her stuff.

Tessa walking into the room that was going to be her's for the year. She walked in, a smile spreading on her lips as she looked it over. The beds looked wonderful, especially after such a long day. She was surprised to see a fellow sixth year- and someone she already knew!

"Penelope, right?" Tessa said, placing her stuff down at a bed that was right next to a window. Hearing a tap on the glass, she grinned and opened up the window, letting her in her pet raven. He landed on her arm and she stroked his head before putting him on the stand she had pulled out for her.

"Did you enjoy the feast?" Tessa asked Penelope as she began to unpack her things.

Looking up from her place on her bed when she heard someone speak, Penelope smiled when she noticed it was the girl she'd met at the feast. "Right, that's me. And you're Tessa, yeah?" She was pretty sure that was right. Especially since it was barely a couple hours since they'd been introduced. Her memory wasn't that bad.

Moving into a sitting position, she picked up Spot to set her in her lap before noticing the bird the girl had. Her cat seemed to notice it too and eyed it curiously. She glanced down at Spot for a moment before turning her attention back to the other girl. "Mhm, I did. Food was good like always." And that was always enjoyable. "Did you?"

Tessa nodded in confirmation and gave a small smile. "I know it's only bee a short while, but I've met so many people and so many names," she shook her head with a laugh. "There's a lot to take in here!"

She continued her unpacking, but noticed the look that cat was giving Huginn, her raven, a look. "I would advise against it," she told the cat. "He's quite crafty." She had seen her raven taunting a few other cats, and the bird had merely flown out of reach while continuing to taunt. He was a trouble-maker- but that was why she liked him so much.

"It was quite an amazing feast! And the way the food just appeared," she shook her head with a soft laugh. "Quite amazing. Is every feast that fantastic?" she asked, looking over at Penelope.

In time Oichi made it to her dormitory. She felt physically and mentally exhausted and it was not even close to night fall. What did it matter, she was excused from class and her only other choice was the hospital wing. Hmm, wait in a long line of sick and hurt students to get a pep up potion or take a nap. The nap sounds good. Oichi got into her bed and put on her battery powered alarm clock so she would make it to her next class on time. She then pulled the covers over her and let sleep take her over.

Her hangings were closed completely all the way around her bed and it wasn't really because she needed privacy, but more because she didn't need people to distract her overly active brain. She was practicing something VERY important, something that she knew would happen in a few months time, or well sort of hoped it did, but then hoped it didn't.

MWAH MWAH.

She puckered her lips in the mirror. Kissing practice it was, and GOSH it was making her nervous, like why couldn't her lips just look right?

MWUUU....

"No. That makes me look like a fish." She attempted again at the mirror. Maybe Donny could help her sometime, he knew how to kiss. Mhhhmm.

Lana was thinking. Very hard. Her mouth was turned down in a thoughtful frown and her forehead was scrunched up as she entered the dormitory. She was so into her own head that when another voice spoke, Lana jumped and ran into her bedpost in surprise.

"Abbi!" she squealed, her eyes widening at the sight of the older girl at the mirror. She was just the person the soon-to-be-twelve-year-old needed. She scrambled up onto her bed and leaned forward, intently watching Abbi.

"What are you doing?"

GOSH. She almost had it, like almost. Why did she have to--

Ooooh it was Lana. TOTALLY fine distraction then. Yep, yep. If it had been anybody else she'd probably give them some sass, but Lana. Naaaa. The girl was a sweet thing, or so Abbi thought.

"Laaana. I'm practicing how to kiss, for when it happens you know?" NOT now cause she was not thirteen yet, a few more months...or more like half a year.

"Do you need anything, Banana?" Lana Banana? Maybe? Yes? No? Eh...either way did the first year need something or not, that's what the point was.

"Kissing?" Lana scrunched up her nose. "Why would you want to do that? I don't kiss boys. Only on the cheek. That's the only way you can kiss them." She knew that. Her brother told her so.

On to more pressing matters, though. Lana moved to the edge of her bed, smiling at the nickname for half a second before going serious again. "I have an important question."

Dramatic pause.

"Remember when you said there was a boy who was DROP DEAD GORGEOUS?" Her eyes widened for emphasis and her voice raised slightly. "Well. I found one of those. I think. It's actually very weird, I think. And, well, I guess... my question is, Abbi, what do you do when you find a boy that's drop dead gorgeous? I mean, do you tell him? 'Cause I think that might be a bit... bad."

GOOD. GOOD. Lana. Keep to cheek kisses, yep. That way not too many 'cooties'. "Lip kissing is for when you're REAL big, like thirteen, fourteen." She nodded some. "I'm almost there." Not that, that really meant anything ....yet. Like Lucas still had to want to kiss her too and all...but NONE of that thinking now.

"Mmmmm?" Abbi watched giving the banana her FULL attention, which was saying a lot. WHAT was it then?

......

UNEXPECTED BUT WHEEEE. DROP DEAD GORGEOUS BOYS!

"One. What's his name? Two. Get a notepad, I need to show you how to have a CRUSH. YES. and Three. DON'T tell him till you are in the safe zone, ARE you in the safe zone?" Eyes were kept right on Banana but were shifted when Abbi got up scramming around for some glitterish ink quils.

Thirteen or fourteen. Lana nodded slowly, considering that. "I guess that's old enough," she agreed. "I'm almost twelve." Just in case Abbi was wondering.

Ooh. So they were getting right to this, hm? Lana scrambled off her bed and grabbed a notebook before returning to her perch to watch Abbi. She held her notebook, having no idea what to do with it.

Okay. So. His name. "Mitchie." Did Abbi know him? Lana waited for a moment to see the other girl's reaction before continuing on with answering the questions. Except. She couldn't. "What's the safe zone?" Her eyes went wide. Was she in danger now? Danger of what?

Mhhhhm. Abbi knew her ages well and thirteen was totally a safer age to get all GOOEY and romantic and all that stuff. Less chance of a TERRIBLE broken heart, but mind you she did have permission to kick someone in their privates if they ever did that to her. Hehe. "When's your biiirthday? " Eyes straight on Lana. Not too soon though, right?

Mitchie? Nope. Nope. Sounded REAL familiar though..or wait..."I think I've maybe seen him around. What year is this dude in?" Maybe more details would surface her memory some more. "The safe zone is a zone where you guys are close enough to talk about the more privatey things. I call it this, because it means he wont think you're some WEIRD person if you tell him he's DROP.DEAD. GORGEOUS. Capiche?" Yes, yes?

But ..perfect she now had notepad. Abbi got to work. "STEP ONE of having a crush. ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS write your crushes name all over your parchments and paper. See like this." She took one of her glitter quils and began scribbling Lucas' name all over with pretty hearts and colours and all. "Now you try." Gigggggle snort. "And don't let anybody see unless you want them to know you have a crush." That was step one then.

That was SOOON. GEEZ. Soon it be thirteen and then Gosh. "You better practice your moodiness before then." Cause pre teens hormones and all that. BEST excuse for tantrums and sassiness EVER.

Blushy, blushy, blushy. First symptom of love sickness. NOT good. Abbi for sure be keeping her eye on this one. "Your cheeks are red, Missy." SIGN OF WEAKNESS..well in most cases, just like not when she blushed because of Lucas, nope this fairy wasn't weak."Anyways, I think I've seen him. BUT. YES. Like obviously. When you're big and marry someone one day MOST of the time they ARE older than you." Star for you, Lana, on picking the older boys.

PERFEEEECTOOOOOO.

"What did he give you?" DETAILS WOMAN. "....If you feel confident to? I'm always confident." Which meant Lana should be too because gurls needed to show them boys. Totally.

"Learning fast." Beamy smiles. Step two. "Step two is to happily sigh whenever you think of him or see him. I always do that in front of Lucas. Like this."

A happy dramatic sigh that made the impression of life being amazing followed out of Abbi's mouth.

Step three then?

Charms - Post #3
 

The last one hadn't been all that good either, not by her kneazle's standards anyway so she had no choice but to 'finite' the spell once again. You know, she was beginning to think Felix was just hard to please. She'd tried it another time on the stairs before giving up and heading to her dorm but even then he wasn't giving her much to work with. There was always the consideration that maybe she'd nailed it but he wanted her getting more practice, of course she would pretend that wasn't the case 'cause he knew better. She wanted SLEEP, not practice.

"I'm done." She announced to her kneazle that had hopped onto her bed and already began curling up without her. "I can't try anymore, my eyes are closing and you're demotivating." But he already knew this. Smart kneazle he was.

Oh but this room actually had a mirror.....

...

......

Alright. Just once more but no matter what the outcome she was going to have a nap after. Once again Lex raised her wand above her head and did the circular motion. "Senectus Reversus!" Round and around and around. Standing before the mirror, she was able to see first hand what the spell was really accomplishing.

Slowly she could see the grey fading and being replaced by the blonde it once was. Sleepy!Woot!!

The Prefect dragged herself toward the bed and shoved her kneazle to the side before collapsing. This nap was well deserved, it really was.
