Default The Corner Room

Beside the Restricted section a new room magically appeared last year. Mr Kitridge stumbled over it when he was following a trail of rat and wombat droppings. The room was then furnished with bookshelves, a few comfy sofas, reading lamps, side tables and a few plants. On the shelves you can find books, pamphlets and magazines about any and all magical careers/professions known to exist in the magical world.

Come in, grab a magazine or book and dream about what you want to work with when you graduate from Hogwarts.

As always any questions or concerns should be run by Mr Kitridge.

Silas had HOPEFULLY snuck into the room unnoticed. Hopefully. Sighforlifeyo. After the... fiasco that had been his first day back had muscled through classes and then escaped to the library for some solitude. Why had that prefect decided it was open season on him like that? It jad almost seemed like the guy could read minds... Silas had only said he wanted to rest a moment after all.

But he had thought a lot of things about escaping though has not voiced these things. Perhaps the kid was adept at reading body language or his suspicions about the authority figures having it in for him had proven true. MINDBLOWING!

Bah.

Anyway it was over and not important anymore. So when he plopped down in the floor and pulled out his photo album from the summer he sought to erase these terrible memories. Yep. Not thinking about such things. Nope. Not at all. Lalalalal.

Silas hadn't quite been able to make it to the room unnoticed. Archie had been in the library flicking through a book for the homework he'd already managed to accumulate when he thought he'd seen a familiar face over the top of the pages. Naturally, he'd followed to check.

He slipped quietly into the room, an art he'd perfected with pranking the House Elves at home, and watched a moment. Si's body language suggested to Archie that he was still a bit down about things, but the fact he was here meant a lot. "I like that one of us," he said with a smile, approaching Si from behind and squatting down beside him. "And you look really handsome in that one," he nodded to the opposite page. "I've got some new ones from the wedding you might want to add in the dorm. Arrived this morning."

Alright. Time to hit the books.

Caleb knew that the OWLs were still months away, but that didn't stop him from panicking. He'd been panicking about OWLs since he had gotten to Hogwarts, really. NEWTs would be a piece of cake, he figured - knowing that if he DIDN'T do well on OWLs could mess up his last two years was the real kicker to his anxiety.

He sat down at a random table and pulled out all of his History of Magic textbooks. That was going to be a hard one...might as well start there...

Yes. Book-hitting. Gabe was also in need of this...but of a different sort.

After perusing the shelves tirelessly for a specific potions text, he'd come away with a few that looked promising. See, Gabriel was looking for a very special potion's recipe and had been searching for days now. That alone was discouraging...as it usually never took more than a few days to find hard copies...

Maybe the difficulty of this potion hadn't been exaggerated....?

Lugging the book load towards the back room, he spied Caleb Newell...and cautiously made his way over. The resolution for this term was to...ATTEMPT to make more friends. Caleb had been kind to him on the train...It was a starting place, at least.

"Do you....mind if I...sit with you?"

Caleb heard someone approach him, and looked up to see Gabe Banner talking to him. Did he go by Gabe or Gabriel? Hmmm. He wasn't sure. All he knew was that he was Ruby's brother, his fellow prefect, and very very quiet. At least, that was the impression he'd gotten on the train. He nodded and gestured towards an open chair.

"Yeah, sure, take a seat...cramming for OWLs too? Or, wait...you're older than me, aren't you?" he said. Wow. He didn't even know the kid's year! Off to a GREAT start here...

It was a good job his co-Prefect had agreed...because these books were heavy!...and Gabe wasn't some muscular guy. He'd struggled getting them this far...

Offering a small smile after doing so, he sat and pulled the first text off the stack; immediately flipping through it's aged pages. He was almost businesslike in the way he did this. BUT good thing about being distracted by the potions books...his words weren't jumbled and broken when he responded to his new companion. "I'm looking for a potion that I want to create this term.....but it's extremely difficult....and because it's THAT difficult, it means it'll probably be impossible to find."...and if Gabe could be honest, he was unsure about asking for a pass to peruse the Restricted Section after last term.

He didn't like the idea of evil books...Even though, they did exist. Gabe was aware, thank you very much.

Unsneakily sparing a glance at Caleb's book, he scrunched his nose for a moment. History of Magic prep. He puzzled over offering help...but didn't know if that was good?...or not. Some people didn't appreciate being offered help...as they thought you were picking on them or calling them stupid.

"Really?" Caleb said, blinking at him. That wasn't the answer he had anticipated...but it was interesting. He perked up a bit and looked at the pile that he had in his hands. Hmmmm. He knew he should probably mind his own business, but...

"What do you want to brew? If you don't mind me asking," he added quickly. He was afraid that the Ravenclaw was like a baby deer - come on too strong, and POOF! There goes the prefect out the door.

But you can't just say you're going to brew a SUPER HARD potion and then NOT talk about it! This was on him, really.

Gabe hadn't expected Caleb to show interest. Owlishly considering his co-Prefect, he judged the situation. Could Caleb be trusted to keep it to himself for now?

Glancing around the room, Gabe leaned closer and whispered...because at Hogwarts, every available surface had ears. And even the ears had ears. There were just a LOT of ears at this place. Anyway, he still had to find the blasted recipe before doing anything.

Mild!ANGST!sigh.

....and subject change. "History of Magic, hmm?" He was so smooth. Not.

...AHHH. Ok, that made sense. Hehe.

Caleb grinned and nodded, then made the zipper motion over his lips to show that his secret was safe with him. Clearly, Gabe wanted to move along from that conversation, so he sighed and nodded once more when he brought up History of Magic.

"It's the worst. I figure this is the one exam - well, maybe Arithmancy too - that I'll have to study for wayyyy in advance. Clearly," he chuckled, since it was still September and OWLs were months away.

"So...how's the badge? Treating you better than Bev and I, I hope," he grumbled, referring to the obvious LACK of Slytherin points right now.

...and Caleb wasn't a girl. So, the likelihood of being distracted or reduced to a anxious, jittery mess was slim. Bright side?

...and THAT was an ominous question. "I'm still...on the fence about it." Gabe still wholly believed that no one would ever listen to him...and unlike some people, he wasn't cool with threatening and bullying people into doing so...

"Well you can sit properly. No need to squat."

"Oh, well thanks," Caleb said with a smile. He could tell this kid was...well, a bundle of nerves. He needed to learn to calm down - although Caleb was hardly a poster child for anxiety treatments right now, thanks to OWLs. "Um, same goes for you. If you need help in subjects or whatnot. I doubt it though, you being a Ravenclaw and all," he joked with a grin. Come on boy, loosen up a bit!

"Yeah, me too...its a bit more...um, stressful than I thought it would be," Caleb explained. Granted, he didn't exactly have the best first day on the job...it was sure to turn around from here, yeah?

"Well you can sit properly. No need to squat."
"Simply not true," Archie said, giving Si a knowing look before wrapping arms round him in a hug. "You're the handsome, well-dressed and groomed one. I'm just the cute little one." He gave a little chuckle; he rather liked being the cute little one these days, now he knew how to use it to his advantage.

He didn't really know how the photos of Kalla had come out, to be honest, and Archie blushed as he admitted it. "I only looked at the ones of us. Well, you mostly, cos they were the ones on the top. I thought you might like to look through the rest of them together?" He knew how much Si had liked Kallas dress. It was in his eyes, reflecting the lustre of all those pearls. As for finding him? "I didn't actually stalk you all the way from the tower, if that's what you're asking," Archie answered with a wink, "Though I would have done if I hadn't had class this morning. I was already here doing some research and thought I recognised the figure hurrying past, s'all."

He was allowed to stay then? Good. Archie wasn't going anywhere right now without his Si.

It wasn't that she had followed him or stalked him. Not in the least. No, it was a simple problem of physics. His legs were longer, hers were shorter. He got a head start, she still couldn't reach him. It was a game of catch up, nothing else.

That game however, left her huffing and puffing for breath as she rounded the corner into the room she had glimpsed Mr. Pink Shoes disappear into. Her feet halted before the rest of her body as she crossed the door's threshold, causing her to jerk to a stop like an off-balance bobble head. She blinked for a moment between the two boys, one she had never seen before with his arms encircling Mr. Pink Shoes. She blinked again, words absent as she sucked in precious air.

Mr. Pink Shoes hadn't struck her as one who enjoyed close company, with the two brief interactions she had held with him previously, but it wasn't her place to judge. Physically, he looked perfectly squishable, almost like a pillow, so it was that logic that she settled on.

"This....is for you...from the party." The words came out between breaths as she placed the chocolate frog she had been trying to give him down in front of the two boys. The package looked rather sad, deflated and crumpled from her trying to keep a hold of it as she had booked it after him. "You missed...some good...food."

But that wasn't very fair, was it? Couldn't give one boy something and not the other. So, still inhaling deeply, Amur withdrew a second, happier looking frog from her sleeve and placed it in front of the other boy.

Once her duty was done, she straightened and let out a heavy huff of air. "No hard feelings then, right?" This was a peace offering, unoffically unknowingly offical from Zander. And how could anyone refuse a chocolate frog peace offering?

He didn't really know how the photos of Kalla had come out, to be honest, and Archie blushed as he admitted it. "I only looked at the ones of us. Well, you mostly, cos they were the ones on the top. I thought you might like to look through the rest of them together?" He knew how much Si had liked Kallas dress. It was in his eyes, reflecting the lustre of all those pearls. As for finding him? "I didn't actually stalk you all the way from the tower, if that's what you're asking," Archie answered with a wink, "Though I would have done if I hadn't had class this morning. I was already here doing some research and thought I recognised the figure hurrying past, s'all."

He was allowed to stay then? Good. Archie wasn't going anywhere right now without his Si.

That game however, left her huffing and puffing for breath as she rounded the corner into the room she had glimpsed Mr. Pink Shoes disappear into. Her feet halted before the rest of her body as she crossed the door's threshold, causing her to jerk to a stop like an off-balance bobble head. She blinked for a moment between the two boys, one she had never seen before with his arms encircling Mr. Pink Shoes. She blinked again, words absent as she sucked in precious air.

Mr. Pink Shoes hadn't struck her as one who enjoyed close company, with the two brief interactions she had held with him previously, but it wasn't her place to judge. Physically, he looked perfectly squishable, almost like a pillow, so it was that logic that she settled on.

"This....is for you...from the party." The words came out between breaths as she placed the chocolate frog she had been trying to give him down in front of the two boys. The package looked rather sad, deflated and crumpled from her trying to keep a hold of it as she had booked it after him. "You missed...some good...food."

But that wasn't very fair, was it? Couldn't give one boy something and not the other. So, still inhaling deeply, Amur withdrew a second, happier looking frog from her sleeve and placed it in front of the other boy.

Once her duty was done, she straightened and let out a heavy huff of air. "No hard feelings then, right?" This was a peace offering, unoffically unknowingly offical from Zander. And how could anyone refuse a chocolate frog peace offering?


Silas happily returned the hug and ruffled Archie's hair playfully. "Well dressed? Have you not noticed the tatty old jeans I've been wearing about under my robes? Well dressed. Bah!" In all actuality Archie's words made him feel good and may have made his ears burn red a bit. And seriously? Well groomed? He was not even sure if that was a compliment or what. Ha! Maybe it meant he smelt nice. He could deal with that. "And you're definitely cute." Super cute.

"Oh..." Now Silas was blushing very heavily and smiling softly. "You make me happy when you say such things." And he knew Silas hadn't exactly been happy since he landed back in the castle. "And of course we can look through them together. I would very much like that. Have you got them with you now or have you left them in your dormitory?" Either way he would look through them with Archie...

And wow. Okay... There was actually someone following him... And she appeared to be quite out of breath...

Hearing the footsteps of someone he looked up in time to see the bobble head business and blinked at her several times. And she had a chocolate frog? Weird? At the moment he was merely speechless as he watched her gasping for breath. "Did... you run all the way from the tower to give me this?" he asked, still skeptical of her since she had been hanging out with the Spitting Prefect both times he had been... interacting with him. If that was what one could call such things. Pfft. "I wasn't hungry and was more or less asked to leave since I yawned. So..." Not more or less. He had actually been told to go to his dorm if he was tired. That was not conducive to wanting to get people in the mood to socialize typically. Or at least it had made Si feel more unwelcome than anything, although perhaps others wouldn't have felt as such?

Despite his words he took the chocolate frog and turned it over in his hands. "But seriously did you come all the way from the towers with this?" He was still stuck on that bit... because if she had that was pretty solid of her. And he even gave her a smile when she presented one to Archie. She was a cute little booger wasn't she? Giving Silas a sideways glance he smiled a bit wider. "No hard feelings? Between you and I? Why would there be? Look kid... I just kind of like to take my time to get to know people before I start talking a lot... or to watch people and enjoy the atmosphere until I am comfortable. I didn't mean to make YOU feel like I didn't like you. I simply don't know you well." Was that making sense? He was unsure.

Taking Archie's hand in his he gave it a squeeze. "I'm Silas McLaggen and this is Archie Ogden. It's nice to meet you..." he paused so she could tell him her name. Mhm. And no... he did not see this as anything other than THIS PERSON here giving him a chocolate... not that dreadful Prefect. Mhm.

Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

Archie enjoyed Si's hair ruffling, despite the fact he'd spent a while this morning trying to get it to lay flat. "Course I have," he replied with a grin. "You make them look arty and cool, not like a scruffy kid like I look like in mine." Was that why Garrick wore suits all the time? Hmm. And yes, he did meant that Silas smelt nice, and was pleasing on the eye in general. "One day I'll grow up to be as cool as you, but for now the cute one works." No one expected anything of the cute one, did they? And then BAM! he could amaze them with his skills. Whatever those were.

He saw those blushes, yes he did...but more importantly he saw that smile. After seeing Silas in the mirror the other night, that smile meant A LOT. "I don't just say them, I mean them..." Archie said with a nod. "I left them in the dorm, because I didn't know if I'd find you and I thought I'd have enough to carry. You know what I'm like for books." Yes, he was fully aware they had only just got back to school, and he did have access to the HUGE Ogden library, but he wanted to read ALL the things. "I can go get them though, I thought we could sit in the tree house." He considered the tree house THEIR spot, it was where they met, after all.

Given Silas' blinking, Archie couldn't help but follow his gaze to...well, he wasn't sure who. An out of breath somebody though, and one that Si apparently knew. It didn't take Archie long to realise that she was a Gryffindor, but she couldn't be one of the prefects he'd mentioned, given she appeared to be smaller than Archie was.

For now, the Ravenclaw just watched their interaction curiously, especially the chocolate frog placed in front of him. People didn't usually yield chocolate frogs so readily - especially ones in a better state of condition than their peace offering counterparts. He nudged it back to her gently with the hand not held by Si, recognising her kindness but feeling undeserving of it. "You don't need to," he said softly. "It's yours. Or at least Silas'."

Amur shook her head as she gulped in another breath of air, waving the smaller boy's return of the frog away with one hand as he other went back up her sleeve. "No...keep it. I have more." The edges of two more packets peeked out from the bottom of her sleeve, and then after replacing them she showed him the other two she had up her other sleeve. Yup. She was loaded and had no fear of being mugged.

Her attention returned to Mr. Silas Pink Shoes. "Firstly..." She held up one finger. "Didn't run.....just couldn't...catch up."

Nope. She had not run. She had just walked really, really fast. Fast enough to keep him in her sights. She would have called out to him, but until now, the only name she knew him by was Mr. Pink Shoes and well, that really wouldn't have done.

"Secondly," another finger popped up to join the first, "Not about hard feelings between us." She hadn't been offended by the kid at all. That wasn't the point. She was just here to try and smooth out the rough edges. Whatever the reason they had formed was not her business.

"Thirdly," another finger, "you're almost as young as I am..." So why was he calling her kid? It reminded her of her father calling her 'child'. Nope. Just, nope.

A fourth finger. "Fourthly, sorry for interrupting." Because as her breath was beginning to even out, she was starting to realize that she had interrupted something.

"Fifthly and finally..." the last finger popped out and she extended her hand to either one of them for a shake. "Amur Neverwinter....its nice to meet you...officially." And Archie, unofficially offically.

I doubt it though, you being a Ravenclaw and all," he joked with a grin. Come on boy, loosen up a bit!

"Yeah, me too...its a bit more...um, stressful than I thought it would be," Caleb explained. Granted, he didn't exactly have the best first day on the job...it was sure to turn around from here, yeah?

Smiling just a bit, a rare occurrence, Gabe nodded. The truth of the matter was that he didn't have a lot of people being nice to him...and Caleb was. So, here's to hoping he'd made a new friend?

Also, yes. The assumption about Ravenclaws being the smartest wasn't necessarily true...because Gabe had several subjects he personally needed help with. Of course, they were the more practical of the lot. Defense, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures...Divination? He's barely scraped by on those particular OWLs due to the written portions..."I might take you up on that.....actually." It was okay to need help...Gabriel was realizing. Caleb earned another smile. "Are you any good at Defense?"

.....and about being Prefect...again..."Ravenclaws are more...assertive than I thought they'd be." Understatement. "......I assumed it'd be the Gryffindors that'd be hard to deal with..." Jeremiah was mild mannered, sure...but he was a lone Lion. The others were usually a rowdy bunch...from what he'd seen.

Default Archie and Amur! ♡

Silas shook his head and chuckled. Seriously? Arty and cool. He looked like a homeless kid most of the time, but the jeanes were super comfortable and amazing so he kept them despite his parents protests. Heh. Although Archie 's next words made him sighs heavily. One day he'd grow up and be cool like Si? He was already growing up and he was already cool. He just couldn't see it. But Si did nod in agreement with the looking through photos business. "Don't bother with them just now. We'll walk up together in a bit."

Now back to Amur. Weird, albeit cute, little Gryffindor. Silas looked at her amused as she went through her list of points. He imagined her with a chart bearing bullet points for some odd reason. Heh. He nodded at each point and let her complete her spiel before speaking.

"You should sit down and catch your breath. These chocolate frogs came from you... therefore is not an apology from the offending party so that is null. I may not be much older than you, but I am wiser... besides you remind me of some one's little sister. It's pleasant. Oh and you're welcome to join us, right sweetie? And it's a pleasure, Amur." I mean like.... had he answered all questions properly? Were the questions done? Had they been questions at all? He felt inclined to give her answers to each anyway. Not in the cool way she had, but oh well.

Turning now to Archie he said, "This is the person who tried to stop me leaving the common room... apparently she feels so inclined to try and be peacemaker." Leaning in closer he whispered now, "Until Zander apologizes it won't change my mind though."

"A bit, I like to think I am," Caleb said with a chuckle. "I mean...I always win against the dummies," he added with a grin. He was finding that the best way to get to this kid was through humor. Let him know he wasn't very serious and scary and he was laid back. He seemed to loosen up a bit.

"I think every house has some stubborn kids in it. I sometimes wonder if people forget that Slytherin means cunning and ambitious, not pig-headed, mean and stupid," he grumbled. He'd been thinking that a lot lately. He wondered if people...sort of played into their role as a snake more than they would had the house not had the reputation that it did.

"Well, it can only go up from here for us, yeah?" he added with a small smile.

Default Silas and Amur!
Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

Keep it? Archie tilted his head at her. He wasn't like he needed it, he had plenty in his dorm, as he suspected most students did this early in term. Admittedly he didn't have any actually on him, as chocolate tended to melt in his robe pockets and make a ton of mess. This Gryffie seemed to have a clever solution for this, however, and Archie raised an appreciative eyebrow as she showed him her sleeves. "Nice hiding place," he said with a nod. "And thank you for sharing." He didn't know any Gryffindors other than Si that would do that. He pulled the frog back towards him, and opened the box carefully. "Do you collect the cards?" He'd give her first dibs on it if she did.

Oh, and finger holding up was happening and to Si as a fourth year no less. If that didn't prove that the sorting hat was right with this girl's placement, he didn't know what was. This time last year he'd have been petrified of doing such a thing to an older student other than Eden or Si. Even now, he'd only be willing to do it for a very good reason. He followed along with her points, and then silently turned to watch Si's responses. It wasn't like he had anything really to add to proceedings until the last point anyway.

"Nice to meet you too, Amur," Archie said with a smile, squeezing Si's hand because he could. "Thanks for trying to keep the peace with Si, and he's right, you're welcome to join us. Though if we're gonna be here a while chatting and such, I should probably go retrieve those books I'd sorted out in the other room." He didn't want people acquiring them for themselves when he'd don't the work researching them. He took a moment to glance out the door to check the pile was still intact, as well to check who else was in the vicinity. "Don't worry about Zander," he dropped his voice in response. "I've got a couple of ideas."

"I've got a couple of ideas."


Sitting? She hadn't even thought of sitting. Truth be told, despite the fact that the two boys were sitting, she hadn't even noticed that there were sitting fixtures in the room. It sounded like a good idea.

She was halfway to plopping down cross-legged on the floor, her ankles crossed and her knees bent with her hands out to the side for balance when Mr. Pink Shoe's words froze her. She blinked at him rapidly, trying to collect and follow what the boy had just said. It was hard to tell what the boy meant or intended by his words, they were stated so casually, but Amur did feel the corners of her lips tugging down bit by bit.

Wait. Who was he calling sweetie?

Her attention skipped to the Archie as her mouth opened. She blinked, paused and shook her head. "No. I don't. I just like the chocolate." Truth be told. "And its hard to make people appreciate it if you take away half of it." Yeah, that wouldn't go over very well in most situations. People liked the cards almost more than the chocolate. She really couldn't be fussed.

Her eyes drifted back to the other one, and she let out of a huff of air, her initial reluctance swept away by the politeness that lingered in the room. It was decided, no harm had been meant. And apparently sweetie had not been directed at her. Interesting, but as long as it didn't sound like her grandma was in the room addressing her, she didn't care.

Letting her legs go slack, she plopped down onto the floor and affixed Silas with a thoughtful look. "I am an only child."

First and foremost, that had to be cleared up. She had no idea what the boy had meant by that comment, but she wanted to make sure that he knew she could handle herself and didn't need a shadow of a brother to hide in.

Secondly, "And I'm not a peacekeeper." Truth. She seemed to have a habit of creating more problems than keeping things peaceful, and that little habit led to her next point. "I fix things. Broken things. Not-that-yo're-broken." It was tacked on quickly, just in case he thought her rude. "Just...the situation seemed broken."

Still did apparently.

"And no gesture is null. No matter who it comes from." Yesh, why did boys have to be so stubborn?

Archie hardly ever spent his time inside the castle, so this was a rare occasion. Whilst he wanted to regain his bearings of the school, he was mainly here, at the library, to get a few new reads under his belt.

And, of course, he was reading a Herbology book... scratching his head, forehead, chin, (etc) whilst he flicked through it.

He was just too nervous. Had to make sure all of his knowledge and facts on the subject were sound before his first lesson. Archie was in a quiet-ish room of the library, hunched on the sofa.

He was just too nervous. Had to make sure all of his knowledge and facts on the subject were sound before his first lesson. Archie was in a quiet-ish room of the library, hunched on the sofa.
Nessa simply loved the beginning of the school year when she got to come up with new lessons and creative ways to teach them. And one of her favorite ways to do that was to come to the library and read some history books to see if anything inspirational popped up.

And that's where she was headed today while she had some free time. But.. was this a new room? Ever curious, Nessa peered inside, brown eyes taking in the bookshelves and furniture. How cozy!

She hurried over to the bookshelf and ran her finger along some of the book spines as she looked at the titles. Eeep! There were some books on the performing arts!! She grabbed a book about History AND a book about Theater, then turned to take a seat.

Beaming and waving at the adorable students already there, she soon spotted Archie sitting on one of the sofas. She, unfortunately, had not gotten to know him well last school term, so she figured better late than never! Nessa happily made her way over to him. "Hello, Archie!" she said, in a slightly quieter voice than normal since they were in the library, and she took a seat next to him. "Are you thinking up new lesson plans through reading?" That WAS a Herbology book, was it not? She tilted her head to try to catch a glimpse of the cover. "I do that too!!" How fun! And she pointed at the books on her lap with enthusiasm.
