Default Entrance

The Great Hall is flanked by two large, thick, wooden doors that often make a BANG! sound when flung open by dramatic students and/or staff. There are large, beautiful glass windows at the end of the Hall above the staff dais, the usual enchanted ceiling over everyone, and the four regular house tables lined up neatly in the middle.

Whether you make an entrance or choose to simply enter the Great Hall, you'll still be wowed by its size and architecture every time. You might also be pleased to notice the general upgrade in cleanliness, and perhaps a light, pleasantly clean scent from the candles floating above all the tables. Isn't it nice, what money can do for a school?

Jake figured that the smartest place for him to stand would be the entrance to the Great Hall. After stepping through the large wooden doors and beholding the majesty of the place for the first time in almost ten years, he decided to remain where he was. Of course, standing here put Jake almost perfectly in line with a certain Red-Headmistress (oh ho ho) which made it all the more fun for this Hit Wizard.

Not that this was a fun situation at all. Serious business and all that.

Frowning slightly at memories from the very Hall, Jake stood up a little straighter and used the back of his hand to adjust the position of his glasses. He stood tall and silent and kept staring out intently over the Great Hall, occasionally crossing to the other side of the doors and glancing at out into the Entrance Hall at those who were still arriving.

Just. Y'know. Keeping his 'eyes peeled'.

Maybe after the speech he'd mosey over the Hufflepuff table. Just for old times' sake.

Richard was preeeetty bored. The Hogwarts feasts were awesome, don't get him wrong, but there was no food yet. Nope. All that was happening so far was people getting sorted and that was no fun. Except for that one guy who decided to take off the Sorting Hat mid-sorting, then put it back backwards. And then got sorted into Slytherin and sat at the Hufflepuff table.

That guy made Richard hope for fun times. But after that - nothing.

A big, fat load of nothing. That's all that happened so far.

To make things worse, the older students were acting like somebody died ... or was about to die. And yes, it was Hogwarts so that could happen. Just not before the food, please.

That was why the fourteen year old boy was walking around the hall, willing time to go faster by the sheer power of his walk. It still hadn't really worked, but he had found one of those odd men that seemed to be around the place. HMM. "The staff table is there, mate." He said suddenly, stopping in front of the man and using his hand to point at the table on the other side of the hall. He narrowed his eyes at the stranger and tried to adopt his position. Dude, he was standing up straighter than a ruler! "You are a professor, yeah?" Or was he a student?

OH MERLIN. Could they actually fail students so much that they'd still be studying here even though they were OLD?!

"COoooomin' through!" Not that Cutty Mordaunt was that big. He was only thirteen. But then neither was the black mamba. Both required space for sake of one's central nervous system.

Some kid had brought his dadd-o with him. Heh. Cutty took in the sight as he passed them by. The boy was lookin' kinda good. Kinda. But he wasn't Cutty's type. He did survey the boy's age though. Somewhere a bit older than he himself was. That could be useful. It was Theodore Kinsley's last year at Hogwarts.

The Liver-wyvern slithered through and headed straight for his house table not paying much more mind to the boy and his dad.

Walking into the entrance hall, Jun made a mental list of little havocs to do this year. Sure, he'll be doing then with either lion prefects but that was the fun part. Luckily neither were so uptight about their duties. At least Lex wasn't, unless it was something she couldn't ignore. Bolton on the other hand, Jun couldn't judge him just yet. Poor boy seemed like the type to feel bad if he got students into trouble. Bit of a sap, he was. Anyway, stopping to look at the moving staircase, he looked up and squinted a bit. Ugh, was he becoming blinder? Jun made another mental note to put his contacts on tomorrow. Easier to deal with than his glasses. "Hm, maybe start off with the first floor?" He mumbled to himself, not caring if someone heard him.

Not like he was planning anything drastic.

With her kneazle found and left with her things, there wasn't much left for her to be bothered with, not even the house she was set in charge of. Now that Bolton existed with a badge her responsibilities were cut in half--maybe more depending on how much she felt she was needed to do. Right now Lex saw nothing wrong with taking her own time in getting to the Great Hall. No particular rush to get to the table now that there was no Alice. Hardly anyone at the table she was in a rush to see actually. Besides she had to make sure there were no stragglers hanging about--nevermind the fact she was an intentional straggler.

Speaking of...."Thought you'd have gotten inside by now." Lex commented, closing the gap. When he'd gone ahead of her she figured he'd have gotten lost in the sea of Ravenclaws and eventually carried off to the Claw table. Apparently not?

Jun was still in concentration about the stairs. Taking his cap off, he ruffles his now purple hair and set it back on; backwards. Yeah, Lou would probably need lots of cushion or this stunt. Jun wouldn't want Delilah coming after him for hurting her boyfriend. She might be a crazy little Hufflepuff. But the boy was soon snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Lex talk to him. Kind of. "Hm? Oh, no, I don't usually go inside right away. Not until I hear the Headmistress about to announce her speech," Because then Jun would just have to sit through that and have food right after. Lady's speech was usually long and nothing important Jun needed to know.

"Did you find Felix?" Answer would be yes since the smart kneazle always came back. "You're not heading in yet either? This place reminds me of the planning about candy dates last term" And the small sugar rush he ended up having after them every time.

Know something? That was actually a really smart strategy that she could no longer employ, thanks to something along the lines of leader etiquette. Had to go greet the lions, welcome the new ones and all that fancy jazz that she couldn't really say she cared for. The feast would drag on forever and the term would be even longer. With them sharing a Common Room she was bound to run into them all at least once. Was she the only one that realized this? "How very Ravenclaw of you." She commented, glancing over at the entrance. She'd go in at some point, of course. "Reckon you'll get lonely out here waiting though, unless you've already found something to occupy your time?" Yeah, she saw the way he was eyeing the stairs.

Lex gave a small nod at his question. "I did. He'd made his way back up to the Prefect Compartment while I was looking for him. Found him curled up on the seat I was using." Waiting for her no doubt. The kneazle had a good sense of direction, lost was the last thing she ever expected him to be. "I figured I'd stalled enough before going in but I can keep your company for a while." It'd only give her more reason to not go in there which was fine with her. There was a smile at the mention of the candy dates. "We're having some this term too...unless you're still trying to limit the amount I eat in which case I'll have those candy dates by myself." Just saying.

"I'm not really occupied with anything," he said, walking over the the stairs that led into the staircase and sitting down. He'll just let everyone else go in and bore themselves until the food appeared. "I was just figuring out what stunts to pull this term. Again, injuries may happen," Like to his ankle. But then Jun could always just visit the healer and hae her fix it right away. Then no more worrying about it during practices and auditions. Ugh, speaking of which, he had to start practicing for audition during Christmas break. Future was looking so bleak and tiring again. "Wanna join me?" Jun patted the spot next to him.

Jun nodded. Felix probably knew Lex would head back to the prefect's compartment so he waited for her there. Seriously. That kneazle freaked Jun out sometimes with his smart antics. He might as well be a complete human. "Company is always welcomed," Unless Jun didn't want any and that's when he'd just avoid people completely. Dorm, kitchen, or the room of requirement. Possibly even the library. He once stacked a lot of books around him so no one can see him and read a book on creatures. Which is what me mostly read anyway. "No, and I wasn't really trying last time either," he laughed. "So I'll squeeze you into my 'busy' schedule. Or if I haven't fully broken my ankle," Yet, he didn't make promises on not getting it hurt.

Jake was just about to cross over to the other side of the doors again when someone was there, telling him where the staff table was. Ooooookay?

"Yeah, I know," Jake nodded, nodding and glancing up there once again. Why was-... ohhhhh. Okay, yeah, that made sense. He looked back at the boy and relaxed his posture a little before shaking his head. "No, I'm not a professor. I'm with the ministry. Hit Wizard."

As he said this, Jake became aware of more kids entering the Hall, and he glanced over at them, just dOING HIS JOB. He was actually starting to regret standing by this door so early, when people were bound to still be arriving. But still, he was here now, and really this was one of the best views of the place.

Nudging his glasses up his face again, Jake looked again to the kid that had spoken to him. He briefly considered trying to be funny and asking if HE was a professor... but decided against it. Humour was hard.

Alysson was also here. It was quite a surprise that she had never been here before, now that she got to think about it. Her brother had after all worked here for a while. As had her boyfriend. So, naturally, she was VERY curious about this school and what it looked like.

Of course, her curiosity wasn't the sole reason she was here.

No, the fact that they'd been asked to come here for extra security was not to be taken lightly. Which was why Alysson - while indeed craning her neck slightly to be able to take a good look at the castle and its entrance hall - was watching everyone she passed closely. With a smile on her lips, though.

Hello.

"Come onnn Ava. We're gonna miss the feast!" And she was hungry. Really hungry. Grace sighed, grabbing her friend's hand and pulling her through the entrance hall, making her way to the great hall. They were second years now. They weren't the babies any more and they totally needed to make the most of it. Oh there were a lot of people in here. She was sure that hadn't happened last year. Was there a party or something? She frowned, glancing around. Hmm.

Oh waait. She knew that person. She raised an eyebrow, looking towards Ava. "Isn't that your brother?"

"Relax! Calm down, Grace," Ava whined. "I'm hungry, too. There's no reason to drag me in here, you know." She had been craving a huge plate of... well everything the moment the boarded the train. Her first Opening Feast had been SO GOOD and she was totally looking forward to her second. And this time, she wasn't even all that nervous.

"My brother...?" she questioned, snapping her head around in disbelief.

And then she saw him too. "JAKE!" she called out far too loudly. She was in shock. What was he doing here?

She rushed over to stand right in front of him and looked up. "How are you here?!" she asked excitedly. "Does momma know? What's going on? Is she okay? Who are all these people?" She didn't wait for a single answer. She just flung her arms around his middle and squeezed. "It's sooo good to see you," she gushed, burying her face into his robes.

Ah, his co-worker had had a similar idea to him. That was good. Jake gave Alysson, whom he recognised vaguely from Level Two, a nod in greeting, and went back to focusing back on the kid in front of him (but still keeping an eye out on the Hall. Duh.) Every now and then Jake's focus would drift over to the Gryffindor table, to try and find a particular little someone, but maybe she was sat somewhere else, because he couldn't find her.

Until...

O_____O

She found him.

Ava was stood right in front of him throwing a whole bunch of questions at him, and Jake could only blink at her. When she suddenly hugged him, the ex-Hufflepuff was slightly alarmed, but only for a moment. He hugged his little sister back as a smile finally graced his features.

"Hey Ava," Jake replied, ruffling her hair slightly. "It's good to see you too. Hey Grace," he nodded to her friend, whom he recognised from various previous encounters and photos. And, you know, he'd known her mother. "Good journey?"

But anyway, back to all those questions.

"Mum's okay, everything's fine with her, don't worry," he assured Ava, or both girls, really. "We've just been stationed here for extra security. No need for you to worry. I expect the Headmistress-" Bunbury... ehehe "-will explain it in her speech."

Under normal circumstances, having her hair ruffled prior to walking into a crowded room would have completely unhinged her. Not at that moment. Had she cared at all about her appearance, she would have noticed the other ministry officials standing nearby.

"My journey was fine," Ava said, brushing off the question. Who cared about a boring train-ride when they could be talking about cool, Jake stuff? Unless... "Why? Did you ride the train?" Was that the case?! Argh! She could have ridden with him had she known.

At last, he started getting to what mattered. Answers.

"Thank heavens," she said, relieved. "Mum's okay. And you're HERE! Everything's wonderful!" She hugged him again before stepping back to give him some room to breathe. To be honest, she didn't really care what the Headmistress might have to announce. She was currently too happy to care.

"Can I stay here awhile? I mean, I guess you're technically working, huh? I should probably go, right?" She didn't want to leave him but she would never getting him into trouble.

Finally, they were back in Hogwarts. Upon arrival inside, Hayley had departed with her cousin to check up on Tulip, Meeko, and her cousins kitten, and make sure they were okay before they were sent to their separate common rooms, and Hayley was forced to join the feast.

Once sure that their little companions were just fine, the small Ravenclaw started back toward the Great Hall entrance and paused, realizing she wasn't sure which direction Noel had gone toward. Hmm.

But then Jun could always just visit the healer and hae her fix it right away. Then no more worrying about it during practices and auditions. Ugh, speaking of which, he had to start practicing for audition during Christmas break. Future was looking so bleak and tiring again. "Wanna join me?" Jun patted the spot next to him.

Jun nodded. Felix probably knew Lex would head back to the prefect's compartment so he waited for her there. Seriously. That kneazle freaked Jun out sometimes with his smart antics. He might as well be a complete human. "Company is always welcomed," Unless Jun didn't want any and that's when he'd just avoid people completely. Dorm, kitchen, or the room of requirement. Possibly even the library. He once stacked a lot of books around him so no one can see him and read a book on creatures. Which is what me mostly read anyway. "No, and I wasn't really trying last time either," he laughed. "So I'll squeeze you into my 'busy' schedule. Or if I haven't fully broken my ankle," Yet, he didn't make promises on not getting it hurt.


Trying to figure out what stunts to pull? Sounded promising, if not a little dangerous to be thinking so loudly near the entrance. Alexa was very much into the concept of plausible deniability. Could hardly claim such a thing with witnesses by the entrance. Who were they anyway? Before she could take any guesses her attention was recaptured by his offer. With a shrug and another glance at the entrance she took the spot next to him. Guess it would take longer for her to get inside now. Ah well. No rush here. "Just how hurt do you planning on getting yourself and how much girlfriend sympathy do you expect to get afterward?" She could worry when he hurt his ankle practising but not when he did it on purpose. Nah, if he broke it off his own recklessness that was all him. The most she'd offer would be help getting to the healer and a Fizzing Whizbee.

His statement she could only half agree with. Company was welcomed but not all the time. Sometimes she liked the alone time to organize her thoughts into compartments or learn another curse. Still eyeing the people by the entrance she nearly snorted at his busy schedule thing. "You can tell me if you've got no time for me. I'm a big girl, no tears." She said, laying on a bit of the dramatics before giving him a playful nudge. Lex did fix him a look after that though. "You're already making plans to break your ankle? Lemme know if you need help with that." If he wasn't taking his injuries seriously, far be it for her to stop him. Hell, she'd give the first shove if he wanted! From where she sat she could have sworn she heard one say Hit Wizard? What...? "Why d'you reckon they're here?" She asked, nodding toward the people by the entrance. Did something happen already?

As he said this, Jake became aware of more kids entering the Hall, and he glanced over at them, just dOING HIS JOB. He was actually starting to regret standing by this door so early, when people were bound to still be arriving. But still, he was here now, and really this was one of the best views of the place.

Nudging his glasses up his face again, Jake looked again to the kid that had spoken to him. He briefly considered trying to be funny and asking if HE was a professor... but decided against it. Humour was hard.
Richard really hoped that the man wasn't a professor. He had inadvertently called him mate, and he assumed that wasn't exactly the proper way to address a professor. Let's be honest, this professor didn't exactly seem like the nice type so that was one class he was definitely going to fail.

OH. But he wasn't a professor.

"A Hit Wizard?" The fourteen year old inquired, curiously. "Do people like ... pay you to do stuff? Kill people?" Or just hit them, he didn't know. OHMIGOSH. Was that why people looked like someone was about to die? Because it actually was? Wow. Something was actually happening at his feast. Sweet.

He stood curiously around, watching as a few people walked past and greeted the man. HMMM. Was he a Hit Wizard and the Ministry or something?

Once sure that their little companions were just fine, the small Ravenclaw started back toward the Great Hall entrance and paused, realizing she wasn't sure which direction Noel had gone toward. Hmm.
Amelia had taken a detour before heading to the great hall. Well, she more stalled in the entrance pretending to check up on her pygmy puff companions. The companions of which she was going to bestow on her sister once she was hogwarts aged. That is if she would be a good care taker. She wasn't convinced that Mel was a safe bet when it came to pet safety.

As she stood there and glanced around she spotted a little brunette girl and sent her a quick smile. She looked a little confused. "Hey you alright? Are you lost?" She asked because the school was quite large and alarming at times.

Bay found himself in the entrance way trying to shake… shake and yes more shaking.. he wanted these last few feathers gone already, he hadn't "caww'd" in a while so that was good news….right?

Seeing more and more feathers falling off, he hoped he didn't get into trouble leaving such a mess in the great hall.. Looking around to see if anyone was looking he pushed them all in a neat pile "hey if it helps who ever has to clean this these feathers" okay, now back to shaking.

At last, he started getting to what mattered. Answers.

"Thank heavens," she said, relieved. "Mum's okay. And you're HERE! Everything's wonderful!" She hugged him again before stepping back to give him some room to breathe. To be honest, she didn't really care what the Headmistress might have to announce. She was currently too happy to care.

"Can I stay here awhile? I mean, I guess you're technically working, huh? I should probably go, right?" She didn't want to leave him but she would never getting him into trouble.
"No no, I've been here all day," Jake explained, shrugging one shoulder as he glanced up to the staff table again.

It seemed that Ava's anxieties had been more or less assuaged, and Jake was glad. Couldn't have his little sister fretting, after all. Everything wasn't quite wonderful, what with the whole 'death threat to school Quidditch players' thing, but he understood what Ava meant. Family stuff, y'know.

Once Ava had released him, Jake tugged his robes again before taking a good look at the little Gryffindor. He couldn't help but feel his own mood lift as a result of seeing her so happy.

"I'm sure you can hang out here if you want, but if one of the professors tells you to go sit down, well... them's the rules," Jake shrugged one shoulder, giving a little grin. Ah, it was good to see the little lion again.

.................

"I'm with the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," Jake explained, figured he should maybe... elaborate for this one. "The Ministry pays me. To help catch criminals." That's where all the hitting was. More or less.

Okay, so more information was probably helpful.

"We're here for extra security; there's been a little trouble is all," the Hit Wizard went on, trying to keep details to a minimum, as he wasn't entirely school how much the Headmistress was going to explain. "I expect there'll be more information in the speech. Or in here."

As he said this, Jake reached into his robes pocket and pulled out a copy of the Daily Prophet, and handed it over the the kid.

Jakoby had wanted to get some fresh air because the great hall was getting a little stuffy after being in there with a million gazillion people. He trailed his way into the entrance hall where it was not as crowded, but he did notice something unusual when he first entered the room: feathers. Not only feathers but a BOY who was SHEDDING THESE FEATHERS! Merlin, what did he get himself into by coming to this place?

.... what if people are turning into human birds?! This is why he would rather find himself a corner to read books at instead of finding adventures. Already this place was beginning to seem not so safe.

The newly sorted Hufflepuff did not even realize that he was staring at this human bird for longer than what was deemed normal for a stare. What was he suppose to SAY to him? Or should he just run back off to Lambrini and insist they get on the first train back home as soon as possible?

Hm, that was a good question. Maybe not as far as having a broken bone on him and the male Gryffindor prefect. But maybe a certain Slytherin wouldn't mind a few. He chuckled. "Maybe just bumps and bruises. No broken bones since I won't be able to practice if that happens. But the healer can fix me up," If it comes to that. Thinking about it over, broken bones were a no. Jun already had a messed up ankle from auditions and rehearsals. It was a pain to walk sometimes without magic to fix it up good and quickly. "Hm, cuddles and candy would be mostly asked from the girlfriend," That was pretty much what he wanted if he ended up hurt from said stunts he was planning.

"Well, said big girl has always wanted to hear my sing and dance, so if she comes to my practices, she might get a show," Including Jun playing piano, which he had to learn a new composition for. Most likely he'll find one in the library or in his trunk. If he had even brought a music book with him. "I shouldn't be too busy, if I manage things right. Same with Christmas break, just gotta get those auditions out the way," Hopefully they happened like days before Christmas since most people left for holiday. Christmas back home was usually hectic with all the celebrations and decorations. "I was joking. I need my ankle to work properly while I'm here," It was only a thought if his ankle endedup breaking from jumping off the moving staircase and onto the first floor. Cushions would be involved of course. Jun turned his attention to all the grown people who had suddenly gathered in the Entrance Hall. "Something probably already at this forsaken school. We're probably under surveillance," Because that wouldn't be a first time it happened.

while he kicked the last feather off of his legs into the pile that he made, he saw some boy starting at him and the feathers.. "errrrrrrrrr….yeah..so I had feathers" laughing he looked down to see if any more were left. "and now their gone, I just hope that I don't talk like a bird any more" he said..

"you look new… " he said out loud even though it was kind of an observation in his head, he seemed kind of lost.. "I'm Bay by the way, sixth year Gryffindor" he held out his hand, hoping that the boy would take it. nothing more embarrassing then someone leaving you hanging.

Would you look at that, he was starting to use that Ravenclaw brain of his; remembering he needed his bones intact to get through his practices. Jun's logic was flawless up until the part where she realized how much faith he was willing to put in the Healer. "You do realize she's gonna wanna know how you broke stuff if you do, right? If it was your fault she'll find the slowest way of healing it, just to teach you a lesson." Lovely woman wasn't she? Lex could remember breaking her own wrist--by accident thanks to portkeys--and having the Healer lady bending her hand back because she wouldn't admit it hurt. Imagine what she would do if she knew Jun broke anything through reckless behaviour. "Candy I can do, but you'd only get cuddles if your injuries were legit accidents that you tried preventing." Just something to get out there while they were talking about this.

"As tempting an offer as that is," because really it was, she was entertained last time she went, "I've got Prefect Duties that have me stuck at the castle. I can watch you over the holidays though." So long as it wasn't like Christmas...or Christmas Eve. That was officially reserved for her father until this whole thing got sorted out. "I thought you already went through the auditions. There's more of them?" She had no idea how the program thing worked but maybe it had rounds of elimination til they had the final group? Eh....it was all sketchy to her. Aww and she wouldn't be helping him right down a flight of stairs, GOOD. Why anyone would go out of their way looking for injuries was beyond her. "That reminds me, we're gonna have to go looking to see if there really is a spell for strengthening bones...maybe a potion even." That might help. The Gryffindor leaned forward, resting her right elbow on her knee and cupping her face with her hand as she continued staring. "Sounds about right. There's always something wrong. Wonder if the threat," whatever it was, "will reach the castle, what with all these fancy schmancy MLE-ers." Sure they were probably competent but that didn't change the fact that this was Hogwarts.
