Ravenclaw Welcome to Ravenclaw House Party: Let's Surf!

When you've cracked the bronze knocker's riddle, which should be fairly easy on opening feast night, the door will swing open to reveal the entrance to the Ravenclaw Common Room. Coming inside you’ll see the floor-to-ceiling windows that span around the airy, wide, and circular room. A look through them shows a magnificent view of the school grounds and nearby mountain range. On a clear night you can see the stars and even the lights in Hogsmeade houses. The walls are covered in bronze and blue silk hangings, and the midnight blue carpet covering the floor is decorated with stars, just as the domed ceiling.

Placed on the center of the curved wall is a large fireplace with plenty of navy blue sofas and armchairs placed around it, as well as a few bookcases and tables. Today the tables are filled with a wide selection of sweets from Honeydukes, desserts, and refreshments like soda and juice and, if you couldn't get anything down at the feast, a meaty sandwich or two. A sound coming from the staircase leading up to the boys dormitories draws your attention to Mr Kitridge that is sitting on top of a giant pink matress with a wide-eyed looked about his face as the matress begins to pick up pace as it slide's down the stairs with a loud WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!


OOC: Welcome newbies, resortees, and returning eagles to a night of fun! Gather around Mr Kitridge and he’ll give you all matrasses to join in the fun. Both the boys and girl's staircases to the dorms have been enlongated and glissieod for the night. So come have FUN! The regular common room rp threads will open in about 2 days.

The problem with these Ravenclaws was that they were all incredibly sociable people who liked approaching Layla with a happy smile or a concerned expression. Layla, in her current state of mind did not wish to be sociable like the rest of them and being by herself was much more her to her appetite. And yet there they were coming into the room and talking to one another and more importantly talking to her.

There was Eden, mouth stuffed with most probably unhealthy snacks greeting her with a spray of her crumbs. “Hi.” She spoke with a little disgusted by her behaviour. “If you’re goin’ to talk to me do you mind swallowin’ your food first. I don’t really like cookies..” Talk to her if she must but seriously she didn’t want cookie spit all over her. But then Eden just ran off to go see the crying girl in the corner and she leant back against the wall sat cross-legged on the floor.

Until girl number two approached her looking all concerned for the blonde. She was obviously older and used to this place like it was a second home. The fifteen year old glanced up at her before inwardly sighing. She’d better actually try to be sociable hadn’t she? She was sure a lot of them probably thought she was ‘rude’ whereas in reality she merely wanted to be alone. A concept a lot of these people didn’t fully understand. The girl received a small half-hearted smile for her question. “Yeah, I’m fine” she replied sitting up straighter to tuck her legs up to her chest. “Just kinda wanted to get into my dorm. I ain’t interested in this party idea.” Perhaps once she had slept on it and spoken to Sammy in the morning, the Ravenclaw might have a change of heart but at this very second being sociable was not on her agenda.

And then came the head of house and his little declaration of the mattress surfing idea. In all honesty Layla found the concept childish and it certainly wasn’t her idea of fun. She didn’t see the point in it after the long journey here which had weirdly tired her out. The man introduced himself as the librarian and the fifth year initially thought it was a joke. HE was a librarian, the guy sliding down immaturely on a mattress. This place would be shut down by ofsted no doubt. “What about those that don’t wanna unleash our inner six-year-olds?” she asked him. Considering he had made the stairs too slippery and there was no way of getting up to their dorms and unpacking her things. If she HAD to stay here then she’d rather make herself ‘at home’ quicker

You know, except for the fact that she was tall enough without doing so, it did seem like a good idea for an extra couple of inches of height.

Turning at the sound of the door opening, she knew she couldn't mope around anymore as Lincoln and Pietra walked in. She had to be like, big sistery and stuff, especially to the younger girl. Let her know that Hogwarts could be really cool, even if she herself wasn't feeling it. Wondering what they thought of the Castle, she offered the pair a wave, even if Pi would be the only one to notice it - Lincoln seemed rather smitten with the food right now.

Such a boy. Such a Darcy.

There was definitely some jealousy of the pair going on, though. What she wouldn't give for Tristan to be here with her, like Pinc they had each other. She was distracted for a moment by the arrival of someone who looked like they wanted to be here just as much as Charlie didn't.

You know, she had to check on her, otherwise she'd just worry and feel rude. Maybe she'd go over and join her in a moment.

At Lincolns wave, Charlie grinned back and began to make her way over to speak to them both. She wanted to ask how they'd gotten on, and how they liked being a Ravenclaw and if they'd heard from Tristan and if he was missing her and if they needed any help in general. She was feeling all responsible for them, at the moment, and there was no way she was going to let Head Boy Jun or Prefect Jasmine do their duties with these two. HER turn, thank you very much. Maybe she'd get a special badge that said 'Pinc Pi and Linc's prefect only' on it? Would that be ridiculous?

On her way to see them, though, she turned at the sound of a voice saying her name. Slightly confused, it took her a moment to place the face, but as her frown cleared up it turned to a smile. "Yes, of course I remember!" Still towering over her, obviously. "How're you finding everything?"

Kitridge had done well on the food front.

But wait, why wasn't Freckles wearing a shirt? Had someone STOLEN his shirt or was this some sort of statement he was trying to make? If HE didn't have to wear a shirt then OTHERS would think THEY didn't have to wear shirts and it'd be ANARCHY. The small brunette smiled at the thought. Now was no time for an uprising, though. There was mattress surfing going on. FUN. So she GUESSED she'd help her best f-word look for his missing article of clothing.

"His NAME is Kyroh." Not THING. Never THING. Maddie had dropped to her knees and was EYEING the older girl sardonically. What was that shirt she'd given him, anyway? Couldn't she just SUMMON his shirt FOR him? Or maybe she wasn't the helpful sort. The small brunette would need to find out.

Penelope WAS the helpful sort, it seemed. Given that she'd taken off her robes for the boy and all. "I think he's just trying to steal people's clothes," Maddie deadpanned as she too made her way under the table. It was only a moment before she grinned and nudged the boy in the side. "Kidding. Really, though. How does one lose a shirt?"

Turning slightly to face the head boy he said reassuringly. "The headmistress loaned me this mattress Jun. She isn’t going to come in here and change the decor into something very pink. The common room is safe I promise." Kneeling down to pick up the cookie he handed it to Jun. "I think you lost this? Why don't you eat something or try surfing on a mattress? It’s fun!"



"Good evening Charlie, come grab a mattress with Jun and try surfing. It’s fun!" Leo beamed at the seventh year girl. "It's perfectly safe. I know I’ve tried it out." He commented. Hopefully they'd all get surfing in a bit. They just needed to unwind a bit he reasoned. They’d get there.



Another girl walked in and practically hid herself in a corner. Someone seemed to not be in the mood for a party. Beckoning the girl to come over to him he called out concerned. "Is everything all right there Abby?" Had something happened at the feast that he had missed?



At the sound of a familiar voice Leo turned to Sophie Brown with a broad beam. "Evening Sophie," pushing the mattress towards her he smiled. "I can change the colour if you want. You should try surfing. It's really fun!" HINT! HINT!

"Did you have a good summer vacation?" Leo queried curiously.




The next opening of the door to the Common Room revealed what could only be one of the new first years. Flashing her a warm smile Leo said "Welcome to Hogwarts and Ravenclaw house dear. Why not try some candy or even come over and surf on a mattress? If you think it’s scary you can always try surfing first with someone." He’d volunteer but it was probably better if the young girl surfed together with Jun or Jasmine.



Speaking of Jasmine, there she was. Waving in the seventh year prefect’s direction Leo called out cheerfully. "Evening Jasmine,”

"Did you have a good summer vacation?" He had certainley enjoyed every minute of his. Hopefully the seventh year girl had too.




Leo's eyes drifted over the eagles as they milled into the common room one after the other. Kyroh Scabior’s entrance caused Leo to leave the mattresses and walk over with a raised brow to the boy scampering around on the floor looking for his lost piece of clothing. "Kyroh, where is your shirt? Did you lose it on the way from the feast to the common room?" Someone couldn’t have stolen it right?

Walking back to the mattresses Leo pulled out his wand and cast sonorous silently as he looked out over the so far assembled eagles. "Welcome to Hogwarts both new and old eagles. For those of you who don't know me I'm Mr Leobald Kitridge your Head of House and school librarian." Pointing to the matrasses at his feet he continued with enthusiasm. "I've brought a bunch of mattresses and I've made the stairs slippery and long so let's surf everyone and have some fun. It's perfectly risk free. If you think riding on a mattress is scary then try with a peer. The mattresses should be big enough to fit two people." Turning to his house prefects he beckoned them forwards "Jun and Jasmine grab a mattress each and a peer to start us off." Hint! Hint! If the prefect’s showed the way then the others would follow suit.


Ooc: Mr Kitridge has provided mattresses for everyone. So grab one and surf to your character’s heart content either solo or with a friend/peer. The party is officially open! If you’re charrie isn’t the slippery surfing type then eat candy and drink soda and chat and get to know the other eagles. Any questions give me a poke via vm/pm.

She retreated from her thoughts and observing to shuffle closer to Lincoln and offer her hand to him. Did he really need her to hold things for him? She was pretty sure the treats weren't going to disappear in the next second. But he was excited and that made her feel more at ease in the situation as a whole, so she would definitely humor him. "Don't make yourself sick."



As she waited for Lincoln to fill her hand with sweets, Pietra note that there was a girl near by who seemed to be a little out of place in the same way that Pi was feeling. The blonde blushed, feeling her cheeks heat up when she realized the other girl had waved at her. Oh. That was... that was unexpected. Pietra offered a shy sort of smile in return and hoped that the redness on her cheeks wasn't too dark.



She noted that Charlie had been on her way in their direction and she knew that the older girl knew they were there too because she'd waved earlier. Pi was getting herself ready, trying to stay calm about the pretty girl who was dating Linc's older brother to be THERE when she saw that she'd stopped to talk to the girl who had been waving. That meant she had a few spare moments for calming breaths, which was always a good thing.

Eden thought the older girl was just...so pretty. Model material. She couldn't very well let Charlie see her with her mouth FULL of cookie. NOPE. Thank Merlin she had swallowed it--and was looking NORMAL now. Yep. Nothing to see HERE.

She was glad Charlie did remember her, though. "I--yeah. I'm good--the castle's big--nice--" different. "Just trying to fit in." She said with a nervous chuckle. Heh. "The common room is really pretty. I like it." She said, and she grinned up at the TALL girl and felt like this house might not be so bad. If Charlie was a Ravenclaw? She was really nice.

The little girl[Maddie] had waved back, and Eden felt like...hey, a LITTLE BETTER. Everyone was nice so far. Even Layla was nice...in her own way. but this was all new to her, so she supposed she understood why Layla felt so...grumpy. Not only was this a new school but a new way of LIFE.

She got distracted by the...adult in the room. Wow. Okay. Pink mattresses for everyone? WHOAH. This sounded FUN. Eden couldn't WAIT to try this out--she only wished Bianca was here because this was riiiiight up BB's alley! She wondered if she'd be able to lug one of those things by herself, and she just looked at Layla. "Hey...um.." she was all done chewing her food at this point--"Sorry--I just--" MEH. "Would you want to be my mattress buddy? I can't do it alone!" she said, trying her best to sound as apologetic and nice as POSSIBLE. "I mean--I get if you don't want to--that's fine too--" she shrugged and tried to seem all...casual about it. Right.

OH. She spotted that other blonde girl--the one with the boyfriend[Pietra] waving at her and she just smiiiiiled. The girl seemed shy. Well, Eden felt shy, too! So maybe she wasn't the only one scared out of her MIND to be here. THis made her feel a lot better. Whew. She glanced back at Layla and tilted her head in a...puppy-way. Please?

PLEASE?

Why was it seeming to be that she was coming late to everything? It was very unusual for the third year to be so forgetful like this. Her father would be very disappointed in her for being so irresponsible & she knew exactly what he would've said for her tardiness. But at least she was here now yes? And from the looks of it, this was a party in the common room & was that Mr. Kitridge riding a mattress down the stairs?! Her mouth dropped almost instantly as she was in disbelief at what she was seeing. Was this really happening at the current moment?

.....It looked scary...

...but for some reason, she couldn't help but feel curious to want to try it out...

Glancing over at Abby he said. "That’s good to hear. Sisters shouldn’t fight. If you need a good listener my office is always open." Leo neglected to mention that he then would have two of three Valentine sisters coming for him for advice. Gesturing to the candy he said "Why not try a bertie bott bean or go for mattress ride?" Leo suggested, anything to get a smile on the girl’s face.

Chewing nervously on the inside of his mouth, he kept moving, only to find himself far too close to the mattresses and the surfing for his comfort.
His heart beat faster and his blinked rapidly, scanning the room. THERE. There was a quiet corner where no one would see him... he hoped.
Weaving through the crowd of Ravenclaws, Thornton squeezed into the small space between an armchair and the wall, curling up on the floor with his knees to his chest.
It would be curfew soon, right?
The boy who slipped into the common room and curled up on the floor with his knees to his chest looking scared and uncomfortable didn’t go unnoticed. Leo was about to head over to him when he watched how Bryant, one of the senior eagles walked over and started to chat with the boy sitting on the floor.

Wanting to make sure that boy was all right and didn’t need to go see the healer Leo made his way over slowly. Flashing the boy a warm hearty smile he said "Hello, welcome to Ravenclaw, Thornton right? Or do you prefer Thor?" Turning to the senior boy Leo greeted. "Good evening Bryant. Did you have a good summer vacation?"


SPOILER!!: Penelope + Kyroh

"If you lost it before you got to the common room, why would it be under the mattresses?"
Penelope had lots of questions about how Kyroh could have lost his shirt. "You were wearing a shirt when you got to Hogwarts, right? Did you have a shirt on when you came to the common room? Peeves didn't steal it, did he? How can you not know how you lost your shirt? When did you lose it?"


Leo shook his head. "No, I don't have your shirt." How would he even have acquired it? He was about to ask more questions when Penelope beat him to it, asking exactly the same questions that were burning on Leo’s tongue to get answered. "I can conjur up a shirt for you Kyroh if you want me to? You’ll need something to wear before you find your shirt just like Penelope is pointing out. It can get chilly in the common room even in summer." Hint!

"So where were you when you lost the shirt? Were any ghosts nearby?" Had someone played a prank on him or had Kyroh taken off the shirt in the boy’s bathroom or somewhere and then lost it.

"I couldn’t be better. I feel happy and enthusiastic." Leo responded with a wide beam. It was nice to be back at Hogwarts and even better to be in the company of his eagles. "My summer was great. I healed fully from the chort attack and met up with a few friends."

"Are you up for NEWT year, and all the studying?" Leo wondered remembering that Jasmine was in her last year at the school on top of her prefect duties.

I mean, I have a much better use of a mattress." Specifically something that starts with beauty and ends with sleep.
Arranging this party for the eagles he had calculated with the fact that not everyone would be thrilled. Giving Huxley his full attention he responded thoughtfully. "No, I suppose not everyone have to ride mattresses but doing it is fun. You wouldn’t want to miss out on fun do you?" he asked with a raised brow. Huxley did though look pretty tired though so maybe she was just saying this so she could get up to her dorm?

Hm. Hm.

First Huxley and now a second girl sounded her disapproval of his choice of evening activity. Well you couldn’t please everyone he supposed. Turning to her Leo said quietly "So let out your inner 16 year old. I’m sure either of them would have fun surfing on matrassess with their eagle buddies if they just gave it a go."

After giving her answer to the knocker's riddle, she swung open the door and stepped inside. The last time she'd been in here was.. far too long ago. Leobald had invited her to this party and, though mattress surfing wasn't exactly in her area of expertise, she was determined to give it a try, if only for the students' sake.

She thought she would be very late, but it appeared that not many people were yet 'getting their slide on' or.. whatever the young people said these days. "Goodness, it is certainly time to get this party started in here!" or whatever the young people said these days... again

"Grab a mattress and follow me!" she called to the room at large. "And hop to it!"

She made her slippery way up the stairwell and magicked a mattress into place with a wave of her wand. "Tally ho!" she called with a running start.

SWoooOOOOOOooooshh.

Holding up the shirt that the girl had given him, Kyroh titled his head. "This isn't mine. I'm pretty sure it's for girls." He couldn't wear girl clothes could he? Hm. Well maaaaybe? But- "Don't think I'd look good in this." He tossed it back to the older girl. Not enough stripes.

ANOTHER Ravenclaw to the rescue though! "No thank you Penelope, its too hot for robes" Nonono he just needed a shirt. Preferably his. But HELP sounded like a good idea. He looked over at the Professor who had started to speak. "Maybe it's under the mattresses?" Don't ask him how it would have gotten there. Kyroh didn't even know how he lost it.

How DID one lose a shirt indeed. "I don't know Bodie but-" Kyroh patted his chest and even poked at his belly. "-SEE?! No shirt!" SEE? She could. She was the smart one and she had eyes and she was already helping and Kyroh would have HUGGED his best friend IF he had a shirt on because he couldn't just hug her WITHOUT a shirt!

Uh-oh. Turning his head to Kitridge, the second year stood up slowly. "I don't know Sir! Maybe? Do you have it? Did you take it by accident!?" It HAD been a nice shirt, maybe he just wanted to borrow it, even if it probably wouldn't fit him. Either way, he wouldn't get in trouble right?

Too hot for robes? He thought it was too hot for robes, so he was just going to run around the common room without a shirt on? "I would give you a shirt, but I need my shirt. Mr. Kitredge might be able to conjure a shirt or transfigure something into a shirt if you don't want the robes." She was not going to let Kyroh go around the school without a shirt on. "If you lost it before you got to the common room, why would it be under the mattresses?"

Penelope had lots of questions about how Kyroh could have lost his shirt. "You were wearing a shirt when you got to Hogwarts, right? Did you have a shirt on when you came to the common room? Peeves didn't steal it, did he? How can you not know how you lost your shirt? When did you lose it?"

Was her companion nervous about the tests? The question would be more did Huxley care? "Do you plan to take all the OWLs offered this year?"


SPOILER!!: Maddie and Kyroh





Little one glaring? Huxley spared her a mere glance before adding "Ah well, with a name like that its no wonder why he would resort to scuttling around like a desert bug." she giggled in spite of herself. Funny she found it yup "Oh but all this KNEELING at my feet, this is good, quite right indeed." Smiling her sarcastically sweet smile at the ickle brunette. She is quite enjoying this alas.

And now from the aforementioned desert bug-- he is a boy and the shirt was for a girl. "Why yes, thank you for the lessons Captain Obvious." the upperclassman retorted as she caught the blouse with her wand, folded it in midair and tucked it neatly back in her bag. "I was rather more concerned with the sight of a flesh colored grasshopper crawling about." Look look looooks. Had he been a flesh colored not-grasshopper this would probably be a very different conversation. He'd probably be looking for his pants too.





Oh good Mr Ravenclaw has now gotten up and greeted them. The brunette stood up thankfully, eager for all this mattress sliding madness to end. Or perhaps maybe not. Deadpanning at her Head of House actually encouraging such madness she strode up confidently at the curly haired man and cooed sweetly "Do we all have to Mr Kitridge? I mean, I have a much better use of a mattress." Specifically something that starts with beauty and ends with sleep.


Maddie had decided here and now that she wasn't a fan of this older person. The girl had made a comment about Kyroh's name that was sure to make him uncomfortable and what was worse, she was comparing him to a bug. Kyroh was no bug. Kyroh was a superhero. Anyone with eyes could see THAT. So yes, she continued her staring in an unamused way. Not very impressed and not kneeling, not anymore. She was on her bottom by her best f-word, thank you. Maddie didn't bow to anyone.

"I like your name. It's unique like you." She whispered this so just Kyroh could hear, leaning in close to him and then giving him a nudge and a smile in case the girl's words hit a sore spot with him. She had his back. Did he want her to light the girl's shoes on fire? She WOULD. She was also going to ignore her for the time being and focus on other things. People things and mattress things. Shirt things too.

"Hi Penelope." Hey. Hello. Maddie smiled at her dormmate and did a little finger wiggle. She was relieved that Pen and Freckles were getting along given what had happened in class that time though Kyroh didn't seem the type to hold a grudge. Or maybe she was thinking more of Dima. Maybe.

"I see. I do." Kyroh was shirtless and she was sure EVERYBODY knew now that Mr. Kitridge was involved. It was like the shirtless hunt instead of the headless hunt only Maddie was keeping HERS on, thank you. Oh and she poked him RIGHT in the tummy. Just like he had. Nope, his shirt definitely wasn't invisible either.

Mr. Kitridge and Penelope seemed to have all the same questions and ideas about Kyroh's missing shirt problem and Maddie wondered if they were brain twins. That was a total thing, y'know. She sort of wanted to do an experiment now, get them in a room one at a time and ask them questions. Then she could compare their answers and ideas and see if she was right. Very inspired, she was.

"I think you SHOULD conjure him a shirt, Mr. Kitridge. I'd like to see how it's done AND then we can mattress surf." She was tired of floor sitting by this point, okay? Did Penelope and Freckles want to mattress surf too?

And where was Dima?

It was good to see that Mr. Kitridge had completely recovered from the awful attack last term. The fact that he was mattress surfing indicated that he was as good as new. The horrible chort attack was an incident that Jasmine wanted to permanently erase from her memory.

Ahhhh NEWTs. That was something that Jasmine didn't particularly want to think about either. She could only avoid it so long though. "I guess I'm as ready I'll ever be. I'm trying to pace myself with the studying. Hopefully things will go well." They'd better go well because Jasmine had big plans for the future.

Leo suggested, anything to get a smile on the girl’s face.



The boy who slipped into the common room and curled up on the floor with his knees to his chest looking scared and uncomfortable didn’t go unnoticed. Leo was about to head over to him when he watched how Bryant, one of the senior eagles walked over and started to chat with the boy sitting on the floor.

Wanting to make sure that boy was all right and didn’t need to go see the healer Leo made his way over slowly. Flashing the boy a warm hearty smile he said "Hello, welcome to Ravenclaw, Thornton right? Or do you prefer Thor?" Turning to the senior boy Leo greeted. "Good evening Bryant. Did you have a good summer vacation?"


SPOILER!!: Penelope + Kyroh



Leo shook his head. "No, I don't have your shirt." How would he even have acquired it? He was about to ask more questions when Penelope beat him to it, asking exactly the same questions that were burning on Leo’s tongue to get answered. "I can conjur up a shirt for you Kyroh if you want me to? You’ll need something to wear before you find your shirt just like Penelope is pointing out. It can get chilly in the common room even in summer." Hint!

"So where were you when you lost the shirt? Were any ghosts nearby?" Had someone played a prank on him or had Kyroh taken off the shirt in the boy’s bathroom or somewhere and then lost it.




"I couldn’t be better. I feel happy and enthusiastic." Leo responded with a wide beam. It was nice to be back at Hogwarts and even better to be in the company of his eagles. "My summer was great. I healed fully from the chort attack and met up with a few friends."

"Are you up for NEWT year, and all the studying?" Leo wondered remembering that Jasmine was in her last year at the school on top of her prefect duties.




Arranging this party for the eagles he had calculated with the fact that not everyone would be thrilled. Giving Huxley his full attention he responded thoughtfully. "No, I suppose not everyone have to ride mattresses but doing it is fun. You wouldn’t want to miss out on fun do you?" he asked with a raised brow. Huxley did though look pretty tired though so maybe she was just saying this so she could get up to her dorm?

Hm. Hm.




First Huxley and now a second girl sounded her disapproval of his choice of evening activity. Well you couldn’t please everyone he supposed. Turning to her Leo said quietly "So let out your inner 16 year old. I’m sure either of them would have fun surfing on matrassess with their eagle buddies if they just gave it a go."

And where was Dima?




....Scuttling around like a desert bug? Because of his name? The second year blinked a few times, and gazed down at his chest when she started giving him LOOKS. Grasshopper? "You're...not that pleasant." Kyroh stated finally, the words slowly exiting his mouth. "Maybe you should stop talking until you learn how to be?" THEN she wouldn't make people feel bad!

His eyes flickered to Maddie. "I thought I liked it too." He murmured. Until it made him a bug? But MADDIE liked it and she knew more than the other girl RIGHT? After all Maddie was the smart girl he knew and the other girl....well...who WAS she anyways? Still, the second year did not smile back at the nudge. "It's a bug name." He whispered back, sadly. He didn't want to be a bug. Bugs got squashed. And they BUGGED people.

He couldn't even concentrate on that though, because Penelope was asking questions that started to make his head spin. Did he do that when he asked questions? Make peoples head spin? "I don't know...maybe it likes mattress. Dima and I made my pyjamas dance last term so-" Maybe his shirt was just a moving shirt. "And yeah I was-"......WAS he wearing a shirt when he got to Hogwarts?

Uh......

A loud giggle escaped the boys mouth as Maddie poked him in the tummy. Squirming he ran over RIGHT beside the tall man. No more poking the ticklish area Maddie.

Now the Head of House was asking questions. But the more that Kyroh thought about it. The more everything made sense. No. No ghosts, or Peeves but rather....like Penelope asked...HAD he had his shirt on when he got to Hogwarts?

"I think....I think I left it on the train." His eyes flickered from Penleope to Maddie and then back to Kitridge. "I think I got mixed up and took it off when I put on my robes...." Annnd he might have left it right there on the couch.

Byebye Mr. Shirt? "Could you really conjure one for me sir?" And QUICK because LOOK that lady looked like she was having fun and he wanted to have fun too!!!!

Kitridge KNEW how to welcome them back to school, man. The best of the best. As the Head of House and their SUPER COOL HEAD BOY PREFECT/HER MENTOR JUN were the only other ones there yet who she knew and Jun currently had his back to her, Soph sprightly bounced over to the boy and launched herself right onto his back.

She would redeem her piggy back ride now, please.

"Hi Jun, Mr. Kitridge." Unfazed by the mattress sliding - weird antics in the Ravenclaw common room just seemed like the norm to her - Sophie had picked up on Jun's comments about the Kitridge's choice of mattress color. "I think that's a good color for you, sir." That was her two cents.

Jun was still eyeing Kitridge with amused eve when someone jumped on his back. Almost tumbling over at the sudden impact, he gained his balanced back and heard that certain little voice that followed him around a bit. And Jun didn't mind it one bit. "Hey, Soooophie," he grinned, adjusting her on his back and holding her steady. And was she really agreeing with the pink? Though don't most girls do anyway?

Pink wasn't too great of color, so she DID understand the distress. "Hi, Jun,," she said, and she waved over at him again. So far she liked Connor's best friend. She hoped she would continue to like him...because...she was friends with Vinnie, too. O_O

More and more people walked in and Jun looked around. There were some familiar faces around and Jun nodded to them. He couldn't really wave considering there was a certain little eagle still on his back. Another particular voice called out to him so the boy turned his head that way. Oh, it was Eden this time. The really quiet and shy eagle. A complete opposite of him. "Hi, Eden. Find everything alright?"

Hope so. He wasn't really on duty anymore considering they were in the common room now.

The common room is safe I promise." Kneeling down to pick up the cookie he handed it to Jun. "I think you lost this? Why don't you eat something or try surfing on a mattress? It’s fun!"


Jun raised a brow and laughed. "I was joking, sir. I'm sure the headmistress won't be back here to move furniture either," Like when she tried to give them luck by feng shuing the place. Or whatever it was called. But now he was giving Jun his cookie back? Ew. No. Bad librarian! Jun will not eat that! Taking the cookie either way and laughing, Jun walked over to the nearest trash bin and tossed the cookies out. "I'll just get another one later. C'mon, Soph. I think I see a perfect mattress for us," He said, readjusting Sophie one more time before heading up the stairs . They hadn't had something like this in a long time. Kicking a mattress to the floor, he readjusted it too. "Do you want the front or back?"

No one TOLD him there was going to be food in his common room when he got there after the feast. Not a soul. And Paris had packed on the food, thinking he wouldn't have anything else this good. After slipping into the common room behind an older student, he found that he was dead wrong.

There was loads of Ravenclaws, SLIDES, and a whole table of food.

Naturally the teenager went there, somehow managing to find a second stomach.

Oh, and HI professors!

They got shy waves and everyone else got smiles.

The food got most of his attention.

You know, except for the fact that she was tall enough without doing so, it did seem like a good idea for an extra couple of inches of height.

"Did you have a good summer vacation?" Leo queried curiously.

Walking back to the mattresses Leo pulled out his wand and cast sonorous silently as he looked out over the so far assembled eagles. "Welcome to Hogwarts both new and old eagles. For those of you who don't know me I'm Mr Leobald Kitridge your Head of House and school librarian." Pointing to the matrasses at his feet he continued with enthusiasm. "I've brought a bunch of mattresses and I've made the stairs slippery and long so let's surf everyone and have some fun. It's perfectly risk free. If you think riding on a mattress is scary then try with a peer. The mattresses should be big enough to fit two people." Turning to his house prefects he beckoned them forwards "Jun and Jasmine grab a mattress each and a peer to start us off." Hint! Hint! If the prefect’s showed the way then the others would follow suit.

While hanging happily from Jun's back, Sophie caught an amused look from an older Ravenclaw, Charlie, she thought to be good friends with Elodie and Cat - so, naturally, Soph returned the grin and saluted her. Super respectful and all, and she opened her mouth to explain to her how Jun pretty much OWED her a piggy back ride in exchange for all the cookies she let him have earlier at the feast, but then their Head of House was addressing her. Oh.

"Hi Mr. Kitridge. S'nice to see you again," she giggled. Super casual. Just climbing all over the Head Boy's back, no big deal. "Uh huh, summer's always fun. Went to the States with some friends - one of 'em was Mo, y'know, Marcus Branxton - and spent two weeks in Kazakhstan job shadowing a Wandmaker with Culloden," though Kitridge might've already known that, if he and the potions master were friends, "and did all sorts of other cool stuff." She made SURE her summers were always fun and productive. No time wasted, see. "How 'bout you?" She SAW him bowling with Thompson and Fuller and he seemed okay then, so she assumed he had a nice summer, too.

For the steps up into the girls dormitory had been turned into some sort of ramp and there was a man, the Head of House she assumed posed with a pink mattress.

She stared at him for a few seconds before scanning around the room for somewhere to go retire where she wouldn’t have to join in with this. Seriously? She wanted to go to bed not play about with this lot. The Ravenclaw sighed as the man slid down the ramp to the bottom. At least he looked like he was enjoying himself. Although he was a little old for this, did he not think?

She flopped in a seat in the corner of the room as she watched people enter and start conversation with one another. The girl from the train was there, the enthusiastic one not the wavy one or Miss ‘I know everything’. She got a rare hint of a smile on the Blonde’s face as she tried to catch her attention. Sophie was her name right? She had decided to make an effort but she would be avoiding her dorm-mates for the time being, only because quite frankly right now she found one insufferable. How she would be able to spend another three years with her was a very good question.

They seemed to be engaged in a conversation about the colour of the mattress, the unusual pink choice for what seemed to be a very blue orientated Common Room. She decided not to add anything to the discussion purely because she had nothing to add. Professor Mattress could have whatever colour he wanted she guessed.

She didn't know them, either, but they were transfers, too, because she had seen them in line for the sorting. [Pietra and Lincoln] She waved at them, too, and just...eyed the snacks and stuff.

As Kitridge made his announcements, Sophie, for the first time, stole a glance around the room at all the people gathering - many familiar faces, and... just a few less unfamiliar ones. Grumpy!Layla got a big grin and a small wave, and another girl she didn't know was waving at her - well, that was nice. Soph waved at Eden, too, and made a mental note to properly introduce herself later.

Kicking a mattress to the floor, he readjusted it too. "Do you want the front or back?"

Her attention back on the Head Boy she was hugging from behind like her life depended on it, Sophie just smiled and adjusted her position on his back so they were both more comfortable. "Hi Head Boy Mentor Jun. Thanks for not falling over." When she first jumped on his back, that was. She expected he could handle her surprise weight - he was a MANLY MAN - but she was relieved he hadn't toppled over all the same. Then, before she could gush over him being the best any further, they were MOVING TOWARD THE STAIRS and Sophie squeed with delight, holding onto Jun as they climbed upward.

"I WANNA BE IN FRONT." Wasn't that THE best placement on any ride? When she and Tobes sat front on Splash Mountain at Disney World, that had proved to be THEEEEEEEEEEEee best spot to be at. So. She was a big advocate for taking the front. But hopefully she and Jun weren't gonna get drenched with water when they hit the bottom like she had with Tobes. "But y'gotta hold on to me so I don't go flying off when we hit the bottom," she wagged a finger at him, grinning all the while as she got herself situated near the middle-front of the mattress.

COULD HE TELL HOW EXCITED SHE WAS TO BE DOING THIS WITH HIM?

"I can conjur up a shirt for you Kyroh if you want me to? You’ll need something to wear before you find your shirt just like Penelope is pointing out. It can get chilly in the common room even in summer." Hint!

"So where were you when you lost the shirt? Were any ghosts nearby?" Had someone played a prank on him or had Kyroh taken off the shirt in the boy’s bathroom or somewhere and then lost it.

"Hi Penelope." Hey. Hello. Maddie smiled at her dormmate and did a little finger wiggle. She was relieved that Pen and Freckles were getting along given what had happened in class that time though Kyroh didn't seem the type to hold a grudge. Or maybe she was thinking more of Dima. Maybe.

"I see. I do." Kyroh was shirtless and she was sure EVERYBODY knew now that Mr. Kitridge was involved. It was like the shirtless hunt instead of the headless hunt only Maddie was keeping HERS on, thank you. Oh and she poked him RIGHT in the tummy. Just like he had. Nope, his shirt definitely wasn't invisible either.

Mr. Kitridge and Penelope seemed to have all the same questions and ideas about Kyroh's missing shirt problem and Maddie wondered if they were brain twins. That was a total thing, y'know. She sort of wanted to do an experiment now, get them in a room one at a time and ask them questions. Then she could compare their answers and ideas and see if she was right. Very inspired, she was.

"I think you SHOULD conjure him a shirt, Mr. Kitridge. I'd like to see how it's done AND then we can mattress surf." She was tired of floor sitting by this point, okay? Did Penelope and Freckles want to mattress surf too?

And where was Dima?

He couldn't even concentrate on that though, because Penelope was asking questions that started to make his head spin. Did he do that when he asked questions? Make peoples head spin? "I don't know...maybe it likes mattress. Dima and I made my pyjamas dance last term so-" Maybe his shirt was just a moving shirt. "And yeah I was-"......WAS he wearing a shirt when he got to Hogwarts?

Uh......

A loud giggle escaped the boys mouth as Maddie poked him in the tummy. Squirming he ran over RIGHT beside the tall man. No more poking the ticklish area Maddie.

Now the Head of House was asking questions. But the more that Kyroh thought about it. The more everything made sense. No. No ghosts, or Peeves but rather....like Penelope asked...HAD he had his shirt on when he got to Hogwarts?

"I think....I think I left it on the train." His eyes flickered from Penleope to Maddie and then back to Kitridge. "I think I got mixed up and took it off when I put on my robes...." Annnd he might have left it right there on the couch.

Byebye Mr. Shirt? "Could you really conjure one for me sir?" And QUICK because LOOK that lady looked like she was having fun and he wanted to have fun too!!!!


She wiggled her fingers back at Maddie. Penelope liked this idea of learning how to conjure a shirt. "Yes, please show us how to conjure a shirt!" Maybe this party would be fun. Learning new things was exciting.


Dancing pajamas? That must be an interesting charm. "Kyroh, you'll still need to wear something." Left it on the train? So he wasn't wearing a shirt when he got to Hogwarts? How did he not notice that? "Left it on the train?" What had he done with his robes? He was wearing robes when he put them on, but he wasn't wearing robes now, and it didn't look like he had them. Could he have lost his shirt and his robes? "...When did you take off your robes? Um... Kyroh... what did you do with your robes after you took them off?" He hadn't lost his robes too, had he? Surely he hadn't been running around the castle with no shirt and no robes.

Did someone say party? Well no one actually said party, but Peeves had heard about the Ravenclaw party and it just wasn't nice that Peeves was not invited so he invited himself. It was just so nice that someone had left him a shirt to wear. Wearing a little boys shirt he flew into the room.

"Naughty Naughty Ravenclawies. Having a party without inviting Peeves."

He swooshed down towards the ickles and stuck out his tongue before flying towards the mattresses.

"Now what do we have here?"

Oh. Peeves was here. Maybe he had stolen Kyroh's shirt. Was that Kyroh's shirt? "Kyroh, is that your shirt?" Penelope crawled out from under the table. "Peeves! Where did you get that shirt?" Had Peeves found it on the train or wherever Kyroh had left it?

Tora was a bit late coming up after dinner. Really, all she wanted was to roam the halls when they were still empty and reacquaint herself with the castle. Now, however, she regretted it a little because she didn't meet with the rush of people to get through the door knocker easily. Luckily for her, it wasn't that hard to get through today (it never was on the first day of a term) but it still delayed her a bit and by the time she had moved into the main common room the party was already well underway.

She thought she would be very late, but it appeared that not many people were yet 'getting their slide on' or.. whatever the young people said these days. "Goodness, it is certainly time to get this party started in here!" or whatever the young people said these days... again

"Grab a mattress and follow me!" she called to the room at large. "And hop to it!"

She made her slippery way up the stairwell and magicked a mattress into place with a wave of her wand. "Tally ho!" she called with a running start.

SWoooOOOOOOooooshh.

As Kitridge made his announcements, Sophie, for the first time, stole a glance around the room at all the people gathering - many familiar faces, and... just a few less unfamiliar ones. Grumpy!Layla got a big grin and a small wave, and another girl she didn't know was waving at her - well, that was nice. Soph waved at Eden, too, and made a mental note to properly introduce herself later.

She wondered if she'd be able to lug one of those things by herself, and she just looked at Layla. "Hey...um.." she was all done chewing her food at this point--"Sorry--I just--" MEH. "Would you want to be my mattress buddy? I can't do it alone!" she said, trying her best to sound as apologetic and nice as POSSIBLE. "I mean--I get if you don't want to--that's fine too--" she shrugged and tried to seem all...casual about it. Right.

OH. She spotted that other blonde girl--the one with the boyfriend[Pietra] waving at her and she just smiiiiiled. The girl seemed shy. Well, Eden felt shy, too! So maybe she wasn't the only one scared out of her MIND to be here. THis made her feel a lot better. Whew. She glanced back at Layla and tilted her head in a...puppy-way. Please?

PLEASE?


Was that all he was going to give her? No alternative such as ‘I’ll leave a pathway for you to get to your dorm’ or ‘I’m sorry this isn’t your kind of thing’. No. All her head of house had given her was the suggestion of giving the activity she just wanted to do a go. That was not what she was expecting. The blonde frowned at the librarian. “My inner sixteen year old would much rather be in my dorm..” As she had said before. Besides she was not quite sixteen yet anyway. And neither would she consider any of these people her ‘buddies’. Acquaintances maybe, annoyances occasionally.

And then along came another adult who was just as excited over the prospect of sliding down a slope on a piece of bedding (which had much better uses for sleeping on) as Kitridge was. She stared at over-excited loud woman as she slid down obviously too unleashing her inner six year old before sneering and turning away to watch as the others asked people to join in. Even Sophie who had sent a sweet little smile back was up and rearing to get involved. Honestly, Layla didn’t understand what all the fuss was about.

The situation was only made worse by the appearance of crumb spitting Eden whose nervousness was apparent from the second that the fifth year had spotted her. In all truths Layla was not expecting the question that came out of the Ravenclaws mouth. She had clearly not understood the ‘I don’t want to get involved’ message. The blonde glanced up at her with a small frown before she opened her mouth to speak. “I just ain’t interested Eden.” She’d obviously not listened to what the fifteen year old was saying to the Librarian. “It ain’t that difficult to do on your own, there’s no such thing as can’t anyway.” Surely she knew that. “Ask Clara when she gets here.” Wherever the redhead was. Not that she was bothered her roomie could’ve got lost in the castle for all she cared.

Layla simply couldn’t stand insufferable know-it-alls.

Then Eden started to give her the tilted-head and puppy dog eyes and she just stared at her. If she was that easy to persuade Layla would not be the person she was today. “Try the cryin’ one over there, she looks like she could use cheerin’ up.” Cos she needed the attention much more than Layla did.

The Ravenclaw ignored the 'projection' that entered the room with an extremely loud gob and enthusiasm for the mattress surfing. Ghosts just didn't exist.

Wanting to make sure that boy was all right and didn’t need to go see the healer Leo made his way over slowly. Flashing the boy a warm hearty smile he said "Hello, welcome to Ravenclaw, Thornton right? Or do you prefer Thor?" Turning to the senior boy Leo greeted. "Good evening Bryant. Did you have a good summer vacation?"


....
Thornton turned to the adult. Oh. Right. The mattress-rider was his Head of House. Extending his hand, he smiled. "Thank you, sir, and yes, it's Thornton." Thor? Son of Odin? Norse god of thunder and lightening? No thank you. "And Thornton is just fine."

He looked over to the older boy. "He was just about to show me what his favorite candy was" Right older boy?

But Thornton's attention was stolen by Peeves. His eyes widened as they tracked the... thing... around the room.

"What," he hissed, "is THAT?"

At the librarians beam, Charlie offered somewhere in between a smile and a grin. Really, she wasn't in the mood to mattress surf, and probably never would be, but she couldn't bring herself to say that to Mr. Kitridge. She had a feeling, however small, that it might possibly break his heart to know his idea had fallen flat with someone. "Maybe in a bit, sir. I'm just going to talk to some of the newbies, make sure they're all okay."

That was a good excuse, right? And it wasn't even an excuse! She actually needed to check on Pietra and Linc and Eden, especially.

SPOILER!!: Layla

Layla, in her current state of mind did not wish to be sociable like the rest of them and being by herself was much more her to her appetite. And yet there they were coming into the room and talking to one another and more importantly talking to her.

There was Eden, mouth stuffed with most probably unhealthy snacks greeting her with a spray of her crumbs. “Hi.” She spoke with a little disgusted by her behaviour. “If you’re goin’ to talk to me do you mind swallowin’ your food first. I don’t really like cookies..” Talk to her if she must but seriously she didn’t want cookie spit all over her. But then Eden just ran off to go see the crying girl in the corner and she leant back against the wall sat cross-legged on the floor.

Until girl number two approached her looking all concerned for the blonde. She was obviously older and used to this place like it was a second home. The fifteen year old glanced up at her before inwardly sighing. She’d better actually try to be sociable hadn’t she? She was sure a lot of them probably thought she was ‘rude’ whereas in reality she merely wanted to be alone. A concept a lot of these people didn’t fully understand. The girl received a small half-hearted smile for her question. “Yeah, I’m fine” she replied sitting up straighter to tuck her legs up to her chest. “Just kinda wanted to get into my dorm. I ain’t interested in this party idea.” Perhaps once she had slept on it and spoken to Sammy in the morning, the Ravenclaw might have a change of heart but at this very second being sociable was not on her agenda.

And then came the head of house and his little declaration of the mattress surfing idea. In all honesty Layla found the concept childish and it certainly wasn’t her idea of fun. She didn’t see the point in it after the long journey here which had weirdly tired her out. The man introduced himself as the librarian and the fifth year initially thought it was a joke. HE was a librarian, the guy sliding down immaturely on a mattress. This place would be shut down by ofsted no doubt. “What about those that don’t wanna unleash our inner six-year-olds?” she asked him. Considering he had made the stairs too slippery and there was no way of getting up to their dorms and unpacking her things. If she HAD to stay here then she’d rather make herself ‘at home’ quicker


Fine. That word was never good enough, but Charlie didn't press. This girl was clearly new, and Charlie remembered being around the same age, and how positively daunting this place had been when she'd first started. It didn't help that the introduction made them all seem kind of crazy (and supposedly fun). "I'll be honest with you," she managed, lowering her voice a little. "The party isn't exactly making me crazy excited, either. I'm exhaused and ready for bed, but the staff are just trying to make this whole new year thing a whole lot easier and more laid back for us." And she'd run out of pro's. But they were good enough, right? It certainly meant a lot. "So, I don't plan on eating anything, or sliding down the stairs that I would love to go up, but I also don't plan on letting anyone sit here totally uncomfortable, either."

Was she making the girl more uncomfortable? Part of her hoped so, but most of Charlie wanted her to relax, and try and enjoy herself. Merlin knew it would make the whole thing a lot easier for a lot of people.

SPOILER!!: Eden.

She was glad Charlie did remember her, though. "I--yeah. I'm good--the castle's big--nice--" different. "Just trying to fit in." She said with a nervous chuckle. Heh. "The common room is really pretty. I like it." She said, and she grinned up at the TALL girl and felt like this house might not be so bad. If Charlie was a Ravenclaw? She was really nice.

The little girl[Maddie] had waved back, and Eden felt like...hey, a LITTLE BETTER. Everyone was nice so far. Even Layla was nice...in her own way. but this was all new to her, so she supposed she understood why Layla felt so...grumpy. Not only was this a new school but a new way of LIFE.

She got distracted by the...adult in the room. Wow. Okay. Pink mattresses for everyone? WHOAH. This sounded FUN.

"It's huge, isn't it?" Charlie took the moment to marvel, once more, at the ceiling, the starts adorned across it making her feel a little more comfortable. "But you get used to it - I don't know half of the places around here: I found it so much easier to just remember where the food and lessons are." And, you know, the grounds, but their location was pretty obvious - outside. "If you need any help getting around, though, just ask." And she'd try her best, and hope it was good enough.

"Have you transferred from somewhere?" She hoped Eden hadn't mentioned it in Diagon Alley. Goodness, that would make things awkward.

Oh. Just great. Charlie rolled her eyes in the direction of the Poltergeist, praying that he would go away. The new kids didn't need this as an introduction. Heck, the old kids didn't, either. If he dared mess up her hair.... Well.

"But y'gotta hold on to me so I don't go flying off when we hit the bottom," she wagged a finger at him, grinning all the while as she got herself situated near the middle-front of the mattress.

COULD HE TELL HOW EXCITED SHE WAS TO BE DOING THIS WITH HIM?[/color]
Oh good, another few students joining in on the fun! Actually, she had surprised herself by how much she had enjoyed the ride. She may actually go again. Tiara nodded to the Head Boy and Sophie. "Enjoy the ride!" Now, she just had to wait for them to come down before making her way back up!

Except then the poltergeist appeared. He had a habit of showing up whenever something that could possibly be taken as mischievous occurred. "Well of course you weren't invited, Peeves. You aren't a Ravenclaw," she stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

Thornton sighed. "But it's only the first night and already people have looked at me funny for how I've always been taught to introduce myself, I've been told my name is too much to say, and grown men jump on tables and slide down stairs on bedding. I.. I just don't know." He trailed off at the end and looked away. Part of him was telling him to stop burdening this stranger with his insignificant issues. But the other part of him was relieved to say it to someone.

He let the silence hang for a moment as he drummed his fingers on his knee. With a resolute nod, he faced forward.

"I want to try the candy!" Rising to his feet, he moved to stand in front of the chair. "Finn, would you show me what your favorite candy is?"


Finn nodded in response to Thornton's explanation of how everything was a lot different. Being on your own for the first time was always hard. The fifth year himself had kinda learned that lesson when he moved in with his brother after transferring to hogwarts. Going from following others rules 24/7 to following and making your own rules was hard. "I promise you that it won't be like this all the time... They sometimes just like to get a little excited on the first day." Finn said, laughing slightly at the people sliding down the stairs.

Aha! Thornton wanted to try something. Finn was about to answer when their Head of House joined them...

Wanting to make sure that boy was all right and didn’t need to go see the healer Leo made his way over slowly. Flashing the boy a warm hearty smile he said "Hello, welcome to Ravenclaw, Thornton right? Or do you prefer Thor?" Turning to the senior boy Leo greeted. "Good evening Bryant. Did you have a good summer vacation?"

He looked over to the older boy. "He was just about to show me what his favorite candy was" Right older boy?



But Thornton's attention was stolen by Peeves. His eyes widened as they tracked the... thing... around the room.

"What," he hissed, "is THAT?"


"Good evening, Mr. Kitridge. My summer was good, and yours?" He replied to Mr. Kitridge. He kinda smiled a little at Thornton and gave a nod when asked about the candy. "Yup. On our way over now." he said, standing up from his perch on the chair. He kinda started to walk toward the food when the firstie spotted Peeves.

Dear goodness help them if Peeves heard....

"That is a ghost..." Finn said kinda quietly, trying to avoid any sort of altercation with the poltergeist. He really didn't want to start off the year with Peeves wrecking havoc in the common room...

"That's... a different sort of ghost than the Grey Lady, though." Thornton nodded seriously. SHE'd been rather nice to him, even if he had feared that he'd insulted her. But this thing.. well. EW.

"Lead the way to the candy!" Thornton was ready to follow behind wherever the older boy led. The tables looked rather picked over, but there was still plenty left.

"What should I try first?"

"Naughty Naughty Ravenclawies. Having a party without inviting Peeves."

He swooshed down towards the ickles and stuck out his tongue before flying towards the mattresses.

"Now what do we have here?"

Kyroh was waiting for the Head of House to say something but but then SOMEONE flew into the room. The Grey Lady couldn-NO PEEVES!!

And...what? The twelve year olds head whipped around. THAT SHIRT! "It is Penelope!" That was HIS! His shirt! Stripes and everything! "Peeves you have to take that off right now!" Cause it was HIS. And also cause the Mr.Kitridge said he had to put one on even though he didn't mind too much-BUT STILL.
