Common Room
|
|
Having just finished introducing the Firsties and Transferees to the Fat Lady and then passing around that week's password, Tenacius naturally thought maybe now he can just crash into his favorite arm chair and just chill..... ..... then saw that it wasnt there, instead there was a block of hay in its place. "Whut?" He looked up then looked around, with each passing moment excitement started to pump through his blood. He spotted those balloons lying around, seemingly out of place with all these obstacles. Wait is this filled with water? Some kind of liquid? Shake shake shake shake shake..... |
This wasn't what she had expected. Ashley walked into the common room and found buckets everywhere. Uh, is this normal? The feast had been a quiet affair for her, with minimum to none discussions. Infact she hadn't spoken a word since the train. She had been absorbed to her own thoughts most of the time. Well, a party would be nice place to start Party. But where was the crowd? |
WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! Professor Newt had done it AGAIN! HE WAS AMAZING! BEST. TEACHER. EVER! Matt's favourite, of course. Matt LOVED parties and HECK, Gryffindor ones were the BEST TYPE. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!! GRYFFINDOOOOOOOOR!!!" He was full of HOUSE PRIDE, alright. FULL OF IT. It was like he apparated right next to Ace. Omg was that- "PAINT!" The fourth year POP! ThiswasgoingtobetheBESTMESSYPARTYOFALL! |
*feel free to hit us with paint mwaha* Olivia thought that she was running late to the party after running into a couple of people that she had met at Diagon Alley over the summer, she quickly ran after the Prefects, group of first years, and transfers so that she could meet the Fat Lady as well as learn their common room password. As she entered the common room, she stared at the sight of the room. This wasn't what she had expected. Glancing at some of the other student's expressions, she could tell that this set up wasn't normal. There were hay stacks and brick walls. Was this even real or was she still dreaming? She blinked and took a step closer to one of the brick walls. Placing a hand on the rough, cold surface of the brick, she walked towards a bucket nearest to her. It certainly felt real. Tilting her head, she bent down to pick up a balloon. The liquid looked darker than water. What was in there? Olivia poked the balloon carefully at first, making sure not to burst it in case the liquid rushed out and covered her as well as one of the fellow students near her. Curiosity got the best of her and she through the balloon at the brick wall. The plastic burst, releasing majestic maroon paint on the wall. It was paint. Splatters had gotten onto her robes. Glancing down at her now maroon paint covered hands; she looked around her and smirked. Was this a paint war? And then she heard Matthew Solo enter the building. He was going down. Well he was until he burst a balloon near her parole officer. "Fancy seeing you here!" she called out to all of them with the widest smirk EVER. Teehee. Then she picked up two new balloons flung one at Matt and Tenacius and one towards Ashley (dansgurl). She then darted behind the brick wall, not even taking a glance to see if the balloons had actually hit anyone. |
oh it is ON xD Shake shake shake... it was definitely some sort of heavy liq-- --suddenly there was a YELLING in his ear and only had a second to recognize that it was his buddy Matt before the balloon EXPLODED all over his uniform! With his own hands! "Pfpfpfpfpffttttt...." he flapped his lips trying to get the paint that got into his mouth "MAAAAT! You gonna pay for th--" --SPLAT!! .... all over his HAIR this time. Oh perfect just perfect. Now where did THAT come from??? Tenacius turned his head just in time to see that long curly head dart behind the wall. Wait why is that famili-- "Olivia?" She that quick with the draw too? Gryffindors geez.... .... never been more proud of his housemates <3 "THIS IS WAAARRRRR!!!" the paint drenched Curly Top hollered, scooping some balloons and hurling them in quick action-- one to Matt and the other to Olivia, before jumping behind that block of hay. He needs more ammo stat. |
Art was hiding behind one of the brick walls, a balloon in each hand... waiting. Madame Curie was down in the dungeons, in her little cardboard house. Art hadn't wanted to see her hurt or scared. Hearing the party get STARTED he (old man) JUMPED from his hiding space and threw the two balloons towards PEOPLE! "WELCOME BACK GRYFFINDORS! AND WELCOME TO ALL FIRST YEARS AND TRANSFERS!" He bellowed. He went to the bucket nearest him, picked out two more balloons and threw them. |
Lotsa balloon throwing, feel free to claim a hit xD GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Aw, man, that was AWESOME. Look at Chewie's FACE, HAHAHA! The fact their Prefect was hit again before he could finish saying that Matt was going to pay for that made the boy laugh his head off even harder. WHODUNNIT?? HAHAHA! The fourth year frantically looked around to see WHERE the second balloon had come from and was pleasantly surprised to see that girl he had met that one time at the Zoo! Aaaand another paint balloon coming at HIM now. All he had time to do was to try and slap the balloon away, which did no good and the thing SPLASHED paint all over him and his immediate surrounding. HAHEHEHEHEHEHE!! "You're Gryffindor too!" Which meant she was COOL. Obviously. "This is your official welcome and..." He said as he scooped up two balloons in each hand and threw them all at her. "...initiation!" If there was such a thing. There was now! "And this is your official 'CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'RE A PREFECT', Chewie!" Matt added, turning in the general direction where his friend had hidden, aiming the biggest balloon he could find at the curly head, BUT! Before he could shoot it towards his friend, Matt was hit by a balloon thrown by none other than PROFESSOR NEWT HIMSELF!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMAZING!!! See, there were REASONS why the old man was Matt's all time favourite. MANY reasons. Good ones TOO. The boy made no effort whatsoever to hide. All he did was to get some more balloons and throw them randomly at people he knew and also at people he didn't know. "I SEE YOU, PROFESSAH!" He added, hopping a few steps sideways to get a better aim before throwing the second biggest balloon he saw. The first one was still reserved for Chewie! |
Professor Newton, Ashely, AND MATT and WE'RE THROWIN A BALLOON AT OLIVIA Zoryn was SO excited. Every single minute of the day had been better than the one before it. The train was AWESOME because she made so many new friends (and a few enemies too)!!!! And the sorting was AWESOMER because she got Gryffindor, just like she decided she'd get!!! And the feast was AWESOMEST because she found out that Gryffindor was the house of exceptions AND so many of her friends were also Gryffindors. AND they had the very best badge-heads as their Gryffindor ones!! So the bar was set pretty high. And honestly, the Gryffindor Common Room surpassed all expectations. They needed a word that was even better than 'AWESOMEST' because she officially ran out of adjectives. After having run all the way up the stairs behind the Prefects, she had to take a stop once inside the room. Where she buckled over her knees and panted for just a few seconds before jumping back up into the AIR and fawning over the place in AWE. Zoryn was beaming so hard as the old dude (Professor Newton) welcomed everyone. And without thinking, she gave him an incredulous look and blurted out, "Whoa, how old are you, dude?" He looked ancient. Like he was about to break any second. Also... Who was this guy? Zoryn figured he was the janitor. Maybe here to make sure everything was working okay. 'Cause the only adult on the train was the Trolley lady, so why the heck would their be adults in their Common Room?? Hogwarts was basically anti-adult other than the Professors. She appreciated that about this place. The chaos in the common room was very much welcomed. She softly elbow nudged the girl beside her (Ashely) and grinned. "This place is so cool, right!?" Except, how come there weren't any chairs? They sat on benches in the Great Hall and now they had hay stacks? This place must not believe in traditional seating, AWESOME!!! She could almost-- "HEY!" Her whole tummy had turned BRIGHT .. oops? DUCK AND COVER. DUCK AND COVER. |
Right, that shiny new badge meant Ace had to go do prefecty stuff. Did that mean he would be to busy this term? Sam glumly made her way to the common room. She wasn't looking forward to the traditional meet and greet, she'd rather just get to spend some time with her friends before classes started. Or at least that was until she stepped into the transformed common room. It took a moment for it to register with her, but when it did, she grinned widely, and let out a laugh. Charging in, she reached for a couple of the balloons, when she got hit by a one thrown by an unknown source. Shrugging it off, she ducked behind a haystack near Professor Newton, and threw one right at Matt. "Professor, this is awesome!" Wait, did that girl just call their professor old? "Hey you!" she said to the girl (Zoryn) loud enough to be heard over the commotion. "Thats mean. Didn't your mom teach you not to say anything if you can't say something nice?" and she threw her other second balloon at that girl (Ashley) that was near her. |
Olivia giggled when she heard Tenacius call out her name and then proclaimed that this was war. Teehee. Yes, Mr. Parole Officer that had been her, the one and only, Olivia Holden. She'll be here all year. When she went to grab more balloons as ammo, she was unexpectedly hit on her right shoulder. SPLAT. What? WHO WAS THAT? She then saw Tenacius take a turn at diving. It must have been him. She was about to cry out to him and charge when suddenly their Head of House appeared. With Professor Newton here, she thought it would be a safe time for a ceasefire. Foolishly, she lowered her balloons for just a moment and was hit again. SPLAT. Red paint added to her left shoulder. What? Olivia stood there absolutely gobsmacked that Professor Newton had joined in for approximately a few moments. Then she grinned. "Thanks Professor!" HE WAS SUCH AN AWESOME HEAD OF HOUSE. With him in the game now, she threw a balloon in Professor Newton's direction and then ran to grab some more ammo from a bucket. She was practically an open target for several minutes and that's when Matt Solo called out to her. She nodded. "I am!" Yes, she was a Gryffindor and she was proud to be sorted into such an amazing house. A moment later, Matt had thrown two balloons at her. Both hit her stomach, splattering bright pink all over her shirt and skirt. "MATT! TENACIUS! You better start RUNNING!" she cried as she took some of the wet paint off of her stomach and drew a small horizontal line under both of her eyes. Then another balloon splat onto her shirt. This time the paint was bright orange. She narrowed her eyes, searching for the suspect and found a little firstie. "Zoryn?" said Olivia as she wiped the extra paint off of her stomach. They had recently met. Spunky young girl. She glanced down at the balloon in her hand. She couldn't hit a first year. No, that'd be mean... but then again, this was all in fun and games. So she threw a smaller balloon at Zoryn. Olivia had been hit badly several times. WOUNDED was her ego. She needed to find cover stat as well as attack. She threw two balloons at Matt cause he deserved it and then ran for cover. With three balloons in her arms, she slid past the haystack where Tenacius had been hiding and passed him a balloon. "This is cause you helped me find Chewie." She was only giving him one balloon for that, mhmm? Then she ran off further past the haystack to find another brick wall to hide behind and develop a strategy. |
Matt, Olivia, Tenacius, Zoryn, Samantha and the Prof People trickled into the common room and they all wore the same expression of bewilderment. But it didn't last for long. The guy (MATT) who came in went straight to the balloons and got himself full with... "But that' paint!" she said loudly, shocked. Was how parties were done here? She was taking a second to process it when, SPLAT! Ashley closed her eyes for a moment at the sound and she felt a wet and thick sensation on her left arm. She opened her eyes to find paint splattered all over her arm and neck. WOAH! "Whazzat?" She watched as an older girl(OLIVIA) move behind the wall. Ashley's face bore pure shock, and then crept in a little smile. The prefect had some balloons thrown at him as well. She laughed as he shouted and hurled balloons at others. Some balloons landed near her and she saw a much older man with a booming voice. This is one hell of a place! She grinned from ear to ear as she watched, whom she could only assume to be a professor, pick two more balloons. And then all hell broke loose. Balloons started flying around the common room. Ashley tried to duck a fair amount of them, but she got a few straight at her from the first guy and another girl(SAM) she'd swear she just saw her entering. Where they that fast? She was about to pick a balloon herself, when she got a nudge from a girl. The girl looked new there as well. "Yeah! I think this might just turn out to be the best party I ever went to!" she said as she picked up two balloons. "I'm Ashley" And I won't throw one on you, yet. she said, smiling. She aimed a balloon at the guy (MATT). Throwing balloons at strangers? Are we even allowed to do that here? She threw one right at him and another towards went hurling towards the girl(OLIVIA). Without waiting, she grabbed another set and threw one at the other girl(SAM) and the other at... oh he's the Prefect ! ! ! and she'd threw it already. Weren't prefects strict? But she was running towards the arm chair. Hide. Hide. Hide. |
Sorry im late! Ive been sick D: Prefect duties had already started. Noelle had led the new lions to the common room, but had seen a firstie get caught on the moving staircases and had to go retrieve her and lead her back to the common room. The password given, and the bright eyes of the first year looking in awe at the Fat Lady, made it all worth it though. The portrait swung open and Noelle led the firstie in to...... chaos. Her mouth dropped open as she saw a full on paint war going on. Pink, reds, maroons, were scattered everywhere. Balloons here and there. The furniture was gone and in its place were things to hide on. It. Was. On. Noelle grabbed a balloon from nearby and her eyes scanned the room until they landed on Professor Newton. "HEY PROF. NEWT! IM CALLING YOU OUT!" She said pointing the balloon at him as she talked. Also an eyebrow wiggle. Intimidation. Of course.... she was trying to intimidate a professor was just silly but.... THIS WAS WAR! Also.... giggle. |
Not Party TL - For Dav and Dani She had spent the majority of her day in the Greenhouse 4 and you could most certainly tell by the state of her humidity hair and the dirt smudge on her nose and collarbone. Not that Aslan minded ether, she was far too content with how well today's research had gone to care about something as inconsequential as poofier-than-usual-hair and a bit of earth on her skin. Having given the password to a less-than-impressed Fat Lady, Aslan slipped into the Common Room and dusted her hands off on her jeans. A bath, and a book. That was the plan for the night. |

Where were Reuben and Justin? How come he got stuck doing doorman duties. "You have seen the notice haven't you?" He gave her an intent green eyed stare and pointed to the notice board. "Five knuts or no entry." |

Quote:
Perspective, the boys had that. Willing housemates? That they didn't have so much. Take right now for instance. Blaise hopped up from the couch he'd been lounging on and was by his cousin's side in seconds. "It's like we'll have to start sticking the posters in dorms too. Rules are rules, Aslan. We'd make an exception for you but we already have two of those and business is business." 5 knuts, in theory, would not break anyone's piggy bank. It certainly wouldn't have the Gringotts goblins batting an eye, making this a non-negotiable clause. "It's for the greater good." Their greater good. |
Ammo he needs ammo! Tenacius glanced around him-- of course he'd be on that side of defense that offered nothing for offense. As he was searching around he heard the familiar voice of the Potions Master. In his delight he stood up and waved "Hiiiii Professor New--" --SMACK! Yep. He saw him. He ducked for cover again, just when he heard Matt Swan-dive Solo congratuheckling him "YEAH THANKS A LOT MATT!...." he hollered back half heckling, mostly appreciative. But what.... no balloons flying his way? Now was his chance! He spider crawled around the heystack and was trying to collect an armful of balloons when he heard more familiar voices-- Sammy! Zoryn! His fellow Prefect Noelle! Oh oh oh now's his chaaaance.... --SMACK! --Nailed by a firstie (Ashley). Pull back pull back! He scurried behind his haystack, most of the balloons he collected have fallen save for one. But then he was startled that War-paint Olivia was suddenly beside him with a balloon! Hull breached aaaaaahhh--huh? She offering ammo? "Thanks!" and for that he wont throw this at you while you have your back on him. He's a gentleman like that. One ammo. Whooooooo gets it? Cousin dearest? No wait she might rat him out to his mom. Lets someone else nail her first. The firsties were such easssssy pickings, but no not yet. And then Matt stood up, wide open shot as he launched a big one at the Prof.... NOW! And there Tenacius hurled the balloon as RED as an angry lightsaber straight for Matt's torso |
SPOILER!!: Moore of these boys Aslan remained silent as Moore and Bellaire swaggered into her path. The boys were often times amusing, or interesting, or loud, but today they were being... She couldn't couldn't think of the word. Not pedantic. Not arrogant. Well, perhaps arrogant, but that wasn't the word sitting tantalizingly on the tip of her very pink tongue. Whatever her underclassmen were being they were being much of it. "I've seen the notice." she simply said, dark eyes shifting from one cousin to the other as Blaise began to speak. He seemed to do the majority of the speaking for the two of them. Then again he seemed to do the majority of the speaking wherever he was. "Who are the other two exceptions?" She asked, dark hair falling in a wave over her shoulder as she tilted her head to the side. Business is business. The greater good. She hardly saw what ether of those phrases had to do with her or her five knuts, but she hadn't moved yet. |
SPOILER!!: Lions Bentley wasn't big on a lot of talking. He left all that up to his cousin, who also seemed fine to take the helm with conversation making. He looked from Aslan to Blaise. Really, she didn't need to know that they had exception to the five knuts rule. He resisted the urge to face palm or roll his eyes. Instead he let out a heavy sigh. "That's not really important. What is important is you getting back to your business. Time is money after all. The faster you pay the faster you'll be able to get back to your business." Speaking of business. He stuck his hand out once again. Pay up. |
"What he said." Blaise responded, giving a firm nod in his cousin's direction. Didn't matter who the exceptions were. You'd know if you were one, and if you didn't know who they were, it was a good chance you weren't one of said two. Hardly worth centering an entire conversation around if you asked him. There were far more important things that needed their attention. "This doesn't have to be long and drawn out, it's only 5 knuts then you'll be free to go about your business free of us." He could think of a LOT of girls that would jump at that deal. Amusing, wasn't it? "Pay the man and you're free to go. We're an awful persistent bunch otherwise." Isn't that right Bentley? His trusty quill floated close enough to document the exchange because yes, they made a note of problem people too. Yep. |
Blaise and Ben They were so contrary. She felt an echo, not to a person or place or time, but to an old Muggle movie and two twins who wouldn't let a girl pass until they'd said how do you do and shook hands. Of course, in this case the boys were not twins or brothers and they were after money, not pleasantries. A part of Aslan found herself almost admiring their idea, or perhaps, the motive behind it for she could see a million and one ways this could easily fall apart. Case in point, Blaise's loose lips. "I believe it is my business." She said, her tone still as neutral and calm as ever. "Blaise said I could be an exception if it wasn't for the other two, that makes it a note of personal interest." Idly, Aslan scratched the side of her nose, she had been eager for a bath, but now? Now she found herself decidedly in something and was no longer in a rush unlike, it seemed, the Pack members were. |
Bentley shot Blaise the dirtiest look he could muster at the moment. He had a feeling that this had gone a lot smoother had the boy just shut his mouth and let him handle it. He was doing perfectly fine before his cousin interjected. He sighed again. "Fine..Olivia and Clara are the exceptions, but you can switch with Clara. Blaise can pay her five knuts when she needs to gain access to the common room...but right now..since the exchange hasn't been made official yet, you'll have to pay." He offered her a dimpled smile...sweet as possible. "Come on As, pay up." |
Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA!!! Blaise shot his cousin an obviously incredulous look. "No. No no, that's not even up for debate." He turned to Aslan, ignoring the smile and the outstretched hand of his cousin. "That's not a thing, don't even listen to him." And if she didn't, she was paying for herself. What did he look like? If he was willing to pay for her in the first place, did they think she'd need to be an exception?? "I think we all just need to stop overthinking this situation and, y'know, pay what's owed and just move on with our lives." He'd already said this. Clearly they just weren't listening. |
Art laughed as he saw the balloons thrown by him exploded paint over the younger Lions. "No you don't," he said to Mr Solo, and was about to turn to duck behind the wall again when the back of his head was SPLAT with a balloon. Specks had flown forward and landed on the wall and he saw a nice dark red. "MR SOLO!" he roared, aiming a balloon in his direction, all the while continuing to laugh. He saw that another of his paint balloons exploded over Mr Salander, and he said "Oh hello there, Mr Salander, I didn't see you there..." with a mischievous grin. Not being shy of his age, Art looked to the young Miss Spinnet and said "I am 63 years young, actually," and he promptly threw a balloon in her direction. "Welcome to Gryffindor," he added. In his hiding, he was joined by Miss Swynford. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," he said to her. "I knew this would be spectacular fun!" Thank Merlin they had magic to clean it all up! Not that mess was on his mind right now, he didn't mind how messy it got. In fact the messier the better! He laughed at her reaction to Miss Spinnet's question and said "ahh it's all right, I've lived a lot in my 63 years." He turned back to look at her, "And I'm not done yet!" He stood up to aim another balloon over the haystack and ducked back down. Just opening his mouth to speak to Miss Holden, who had just offered him a thanks, he got a mouthful of paint, from the young lady who had just thanked him! He spat the paint out and wiped at his face so that he could see a bit better. "Well thank you for joining in Miss Holden," he said with a big ol' grin, and picked up a balloon to aim towards her. He was weaving around the place. Now that his knees were back to normal, if not BETTER, he was much more able to run. He was passing another First year, and paused a moment to say "Miss Hunter, welcome to Gryffindor!" And what better way to say welcome than with PAINT? As he ran back in the other direction he aimed a paintball over his shoulder towards her. He roared with laughter at Miss Summers, and said "I don't know what you're talking about," before ducking behind a wall. He reloaded his hands with two more paint balloons and stepped out from behind the wall to aim one at the Prefect. |
"SIR?!" Matt asked innocently, sending professor Newt a mischievous grin. He received the balloon hurled in his direction with open arms - literally. Aaahhh, the mess. He LOVED it! The first year girl yelled at him saying her robes were NEW (Zoryn) "Not anymore!" The fourth year replied in a sing-song voice as he tossed a balloon up and down in his right hand. Her bad aiming was almost missed by him as he had to duck the balloon thrown by Samantha. "Oh-hooo! Not close enough!" He said as he threw the balloon he was holding in her direction. He did agree with her when she told professor Newt that that was awesome! IT WAS! SUPER AWESOME! Gryffindor was the BEST HOUSE. Matt cracked up when Olivia told him and Ace to start running. AS IFFFFF! Matt wanted to get hit by ALL THE PAINT - except for a few balloons he instinctively dodged. He absolutely loved chaos and mess. That was when he THRIVED! He had to stretch his arm towards a bucket to get anotherrr balloon to throw at Olivia because she was asking for it! He took the opportunity while she was near Chewie to throw the BIGGEST BALLOON he found at the new prefect and then right after that, when the girl was moving away from the hiding place, he hurled the other one at her. "YOU'RE WELCOOOOME!" He called out again in his sing-song voice. And just as the balloon was leaving his hand, Matt was hit by yet ANOTHER balloon! This time on his side. "OI!!" He laughed as he turned to see who had thrown that at him and, once again, was pleasantly surprised to see that it had been a FIRST YEAR (Ashley)! Bold. Matt approved. "Here, catch!" He said to her as he threw a balloon at her. SO MANY BALLOONS! If this wasn't a magic school he'd be wondering where on earth they were coming from. Their girl prefect (Noelle) calling professor Newt out made Matt laugh out loud and turn in the direction of the older man again. ANOTHEEEEER paint balloon at their Head of House was in ordeeeer! BOOM! Off it went! Matt was clearly hoarding a bottomless bucket of paint balloons. He momentarily busied himself being amased by the fact the balloons seemed to NEVER END that he didn't notice when Chewie threw a rather massive balloon in his direction, hitting him right in the chest. "OOF!! PTHU!!" He spat the |
Olivia stopped in her tracks. She gaped. She couldn't believe that an ickle first year (Ashley) had nailed her with a paint filled balloon. What. She wasn't even mad. She nodded towards the young girl out of a sign of respect. Well, well played. THEN THE HEAD OF HOUSE NAILED HER WITH A BALLOON RIGHT IN HER HAIR! Some of the paint dripped down her curly locks and splattered onto her shoulder. Oh Professor. She readied a balloon but before she could do anything, Noelle showed up and had already started attacking their Head of House. Well now she didn't have to worry about that. Olivia grinned. YES! GO NOELLE! She was about to cheer for her but then that would give away her hiding place so instead she just gave her fellow housemate a cheer. Turning back to Tenacius, she gave him a nod and a smile before retreating away. SPLAT!!! Matt Solo CLEARLY had a death wish. Clearly he did. Olivia was going to take him down. However, she knew that she couldn't do this alone. She would have to team up with someone but with who? She narrowed her eyes and analyzed her potential candidate list. Ace would probably throw a balloon filled with paint at her... Hmm. Cute but not a viable option. Then she watched as Tenacius got Matt! "Nice aim!" she said to Tenacius sending up a thumb's up before going back to her hiding place and scheming. Hmmm.... Perhaps she could even convince a first year. Also cute but..... Her eyes landed on Noelle and she grinned. EXCELLENT. Maybe she could convince her to join her team |
Quite literally, everyone *rearranges a lil bit* Grinning big at the girl beside her, Zoryn nodded in agreement. ”Best. Party. Ever.” She DEFINITELY agreed to that as she watched balloons fly through the air. ”And I’m Zoryn!!” she beamed. And truthfully, she probably wouldn’t remember the girl’s (Ashley) name in an hour. But they had all year for that, right? Zoryn whipped her head around to look at the girl (Samantha) calling her ‘you’. ”Hey! My name isn’t ’YOU’!" It was Zoryn! Just saying. She shrugged at the accusation. ”It wasn’t mean, I was just wondering!” But now that she thought about it… Maybe her mom did mention not to ask a person’s age…… But she only said it once…. So it couldn’t be all that important, right? And it looked like oldie (Professor Newton) didn’t mind. ”YOUNG?” Putting her hands on her hips, she gave him a very doubtful sort of expression. Did he know his hair was all gray? Should she tell him? ‘Cause Zoryn was eleven. And she was a grown up. So sixty three was ANCIENT. The man could go any minute now! Only a matter of time. Turning back to the ‘YOU’ girll (Samantha), Zoryn stuck out her tongue (very maturely, of course). ”SEE, he didn’t’ think I was mean!” Just saying. If anyone was mean, it was that boy (Matt))!! Zoryn had a plan, but she’d have to act fast! But before she could do that… Looks like she got her (Ollie). Uhuuuum. ”Oops?” yeeesh, that’s gotta be rough. She gave her most innocent looking grin and shrugged. ”I was aiming for THAT guy,” she said pointing towards where Matt was standing only seconds ago. But before she could defend herself further… ”INCOMING!!!!!!!!!” She rolled and ducked and made it out of the way just in time, phew! But of course by doing that, she landed right in the way of ANOTHER BALLOON!!! NOOOO!! It was the old man!!! AND SHE WAS NOW COVERED IN PINK! At least she looked good in pink? Man, once her mother found out about the state of her robes… Zoryn was as good as dead. Welp. Might as well have fun with it!! And that’s when she ran to take cover behind one of her newest most favoritest Prefects (Noelle). ”GRYFFINDOR MOM, HELP ME!!!” She made a big dramatic show of running across the Common Room and ducking for cover behind her GryffinMom!! After a few relieving moments of shadow-shelter, she was back in the game. Well still behind Noelle, but she had a plan for the next move. ”Psssssst wanna we team up and get THAT guy?” She grinned mischievously pointing over to Matt. Pretty please with a cherry on top? You won’t regret it! BEEAAAAAAAAM. If she said no, Zoryn would have to run to Tenacius. But he was farther away. So she just peaked out from behind Noelle's legs and gave him a tiny wave. So he knew that she didn't choose Noelle over him. Because she liked them both. |
Didnt he have a balloon earlier? Where did that go?--- -- SPLAT! Hobbling Hinkypunks that was a large one. Tenacius looked up bewildered for a second, his entire head and shoulders now drenched with paint coming from Matt's balloon. But hey at least that red one he sent back has hit its mark. "Gotcha Swan-dive Solo!" he guffawed-- and yes that may have sounded like an exuberant Wookie. And then he got HIT again! Did that come form Olivia? This spot was really lousy for balloons ammo, so he gotta mooooove. Again spider crawling his way to a more favorable place-- ohhh a shell of a car over there. That looks pretty good yes that would do nicely. He clambered his way in-- ammo at the cargo bay yaaassss. Haha try hitting him from in here looooserssss.... He was completely unaware of the alliance that is happening, but he can CLEARLY see that Noelle and Zoryn standing TOGETHER. And you know what that means-- BIGGER target. So he flings THREE balloons their way. Just the right amount to say 'Welcome to Gryffindor' or 'Noelle Grace Summers' they can take their pick :mwaha: And you know what, because he was feeling mighty generous And a RED and ORANGE pair zooming for his Head of House. Because he's a peach <3 And of course Matt, a nice big PINK one "This is your color man!" zooom mwahahaha! |
Teams? *throws balloons at everyone* "THANK YOU PROFESSAAA" she ACT. ACT. FAAASSTTTT. Ashley sort of ran/crawled to grab the balloons lying around. BIG MISTAKE. She heard it before it hit her, the guy(MATT) she'd aimed at first. And the back of her head was covered with paint, as she bent red paint dripped over her shoulders. Ewww. But she wasn't mad. Oh god, this place is mad. She grinned as she turned to look at her attacker. NO. NO. The hiding girl's(OLIVIA) balloon came right at her, ofcourse she'd earned that one. Ashley tried to duck that one, and had almost succeeded. PHMCKHKK! That guy perfect is the best and most -- Whaaat? Ashley saw him(TENACIUS) throw one at her as she grabbed three balloons, one for each of them. She half ducked the perfect 's throw, it caught the hem of her robe as she moved towards the far corner. PAINT PAINT EVERYWHERE, NOWHERE TO RUN. She aimed the balloons one after the other at the three of them. PHUNK! PHUNK! PHUNK! Ashley nodded at Zoryn. "Cool name" she called, as the girl moved towards the girl prefect. They'd catch up later. Maybe. And HEY! TAKE A BALLOON. Ashley threw a balloon at the retreating girl, hoping she didn't mind it. It was a paint party! Oh yeah one for the professor. She grabbed another and aimed it at him. Don't! Threw it somewhere near his shoulder. I didn't Heh. GIGGLE. GIGGLE. Her next target was the girl perfect. EVIL GRIN. |
Did the Head of House really just duck behind a wall?? Noelle laughed and shook her head and she sent a balloon heading his way just to show him that she wasn't scared to throw a balloon at him. ..... and when he came out... shed get him!!! And someone else had aimed for him as well! Olivia! Noelle grinned and whistled in her direction, giving her a wink. But she was hiding. Noelle needed to show her a thing or two. Noelle levitated a bucket of the balloons to her. She was about to throw them when she was yelled at. Gryffindormom???? What?! Noelle blinked at Zoryn before roaring in laughter. "Alright Z, we got this!" Noelle said before handing her a balloon. "We have to--" ........ ........ SPLAT ..... ..... Noelle was hit with not one... not two.... but THREE balloons... from ACE. The traitor. "HEY!" Noelle said with a laugh as she wiped some of the maroon face off the side of her face. "ITS ON!!!!" Noelle looked down at Z. "Time to mean some business!" Noele lifted several of the balloons from the bucket and sent them back at Ace, a little smirk on her face. Now... who else wanted some? "Come out, come out Professor Newt!' Noelle coaxed as she headed for the car shell. She needed some shelter. |
Simon was just sat there in silent, seriously he wasn't interested in getting involved in this party at all, it was scary how huge this place was and how much of a change it was to his primary school. He then had remember, how apparently ghost talks and well that was a shock as well. Seriously all he wanted to do was go home, he sat there watching everyone throwing paint-balloons at each other. His mind wandering to his house. |
Glee was etched onto the man's face. All of the lions looked carefree, which was a glorious thing to see. Art fist-pumped the air when he saw his balloon had hit Mr Solo, and seeing the young lion take it without a flinch made him proud of the courageous young man. "You dare aim a paint balloon at your Head of House?" he asked, in mocked outrage. The balloon Art aimed at Miss Holden HIT her, and he gave a little cheer, before being splat by another one by... well, who knew at this stage? He saw her duck behind a wall and was tempted to go after her but waited a few moments, just in case she needed a breather. Art would need a breather soon, no doubt. But she was out before he had a chance to follow, and her aim was wonderful, covering the young men in paint. "Well done!" he cheered to her. Turning to Miss Spinnet, who seemed quite shocked that he referred to himself as 63-years-YOUNG, he laughed. "Well I'm... I'm m-more of a glass half full man myself. If I think I'm younger then I'm... generally a little bit silly but it makes it more fun." And it certainly did. He didn't have the frame of mind that he was an old man, destined to get weaker and frail. Not him, not ever. It had been a mistake of him to stand there because he felt TWO balloons hit him. He exploded in a red and orange ball of paint, and turned to see where they had come from. "Mr Salander, was that you?" he asked, running towards the next bucket, grabbing a balloon and throwing it towards him. "Anytime MissHunter . Anytime," he said with a little chuckle. Her hair was now RED! "Very Gryffindor look, that is," he commented, still grinning. After ducking behind the wall to hide from Miss Summers' balloon, he realised it wouldn't protect him. Not at all. For one, there was nothing stopping them from following him, and secondly... well, the balloon she sent after him splattered him, even if it didn't directly hit him. He was laughing when he finally left his hiding space, a balloon in hand. He threw it towards the Prefect, and turned to run off again. "Come on Mr Klopp, get yourself dirty. Welcome yourself to Gryffindor," Art said, walking near to one of their first years, who didn't seem interested in joining in. Art would try to change that. He got a paint balloon out of the bucket and handed it to the small lad. "Don't worry about getting dirty, we have magic to clean everything. Throw this to someone. Anyone. Those two there are our Prefects, and they're fighting pretty dirty if you ask me," he said, and chuckled. They were getting right into it. |
#QuickOne #BecauseWork *creys* This car shell-- best hunka junk in the galaxy!.... Or at least this side of the Gryffindor Towers. Tenacius peered out from the gaping frame of what was the car's window, paint, sweat and a whole lotta joy plastered on his face. But yikes here comes a barrage from his Co-Prefect! He ducked, and the balloons exploded against the doorframe, one after the other. Left quite a bit of splatter which he also felt, but most was taken by the car. Mwahaha defense worked! "Ya gotta work on your aim Noelle." he guffawed. Wait is she coming near him? Oh oh oh get a quick one out there aaaand *THROWS* Thing is just as he was trying to be quick with the draw against his fellow Prefect, Ashley and his Head Of House double teamed, as he got hit ONE after ANOTHER. Gah back down into the car he goes |
Simon is silent *pokes him* Ashley grinned from ear to ear at the Head of House's comment. Normally she would have ran away. Her hair was freaking RED after all. Should take a look at the mirror after all this. Bet I would look like a red ghost. Very Gryffindor. Here. Deciding on her next target, she started to grab a few more balloons. They seemed to be appearing whenever she thought of them. Cool. That was when she heard the HoH talk to the guy from the Feast. Simon. And he was just sitting there, aloof. Maybe he wasn't in the mood to play. Or was he sad? Couldn't tell. Picking up two balloons, Ashley moved towards Simon. "Hey Simon" she said, coming next to him. "Why aren't you playing? Trust me it's real fun" she said, with a smile. She offered him one of the balloons she had. "Come on" |
…… ”…. Okay,” Zoryn was quite unconvinced. The old guy was babbling a lot. And Zoryn didn’t care for most of it. So she gave him a skeptical look before moving on. Man. She should’ve asked that girl (Ashely) for a truce. Because as soon as Zoryn ran away, she felt a SPLAT right on her back. Oof. Yeah, her mom would DEFINITELY chew her apart for the state of her robes. But now that they were already a mess…. There wasn’t any point of trying to avoid getting them even messier. In other words: BRING IT ON! She felt very safe behind her GryffinMom’s legs. Didn’t really get why she was laughing buuuuuuut she did agree to the alliance so BOOYA! And look at THAT! They had the ENTIRE bucket of balloons!!! YES. She totally picked the right partner. S P L A T. Or not. How rude. Luckily, Noelle took the main blows of those THREE balloons. But Zoryn did get some paint splatter aftermath. Right in her mouth too EUGH! Paint did NOT taste good. She tried to scrape her tongue along her teeth, but nodded vigorously at Noelle’s words of war. ”IT’S ON!!!” And then she took as many balloons that her little hands could hold and |
Ahhh. She missed Matt and his big mouth. “Just you wait! You'll never see it coming.” She heard a splat on the other side of her barrier. “Not even close Matthew!” The fourth year grinned at the professor, who she was hiding with. “I am, this is muuuch better than the normal after feast lecture.” After all, who wanted to know everyone's names? It was more important to cover them all in paint. And then the girl (Zoryn) that had insulted Professor Newton was getting all mouthy, and Sam just rolled her eyes. “Right, well if it isn't You, what is it?” She needed to know so she could keep an eye on her, and you know, tell Ace about her too. “I, oh, sorry Professor.” she said before giving the other girl a glare. It was still rude, no matter what Newton had said. “What other fun things have you done then?” the brunette asked before getting hit with a balloon. “Ahh,” she yelled as the paint dripped down the side of her face. “Oh, its on!” she yelled before looking back that her head of house. “Sorry Professor, we'll have to talk later, It's battle time!!!” from her crouched position, she shrugged out of her robes that she had worn to the feast. They were definitely going to be in the way. Grabbing another balloon, she peeked over her barrier, only to get hit in the face again. Great. She had an idea, and that idea was forming the super team. Crouching, she ran from barrier to barrier, inching closer to Ace. As she ran, she tossed balloons over some of the barriers, hoping they'd hit anyone who might be hiding behind them. |
Olivia looked out of her hiding spot and the balloon had managed to hit both the boys! SUCCESS. She grinned when Professor Newton cheered for her. What else could she say? She was a professional. Wide grin now. "Thanks Professor!" Olivia said with a nod before ducking behind a different brick wall. She liked these brick walls. They provided excellent coverage... SPLAT. Merlin. Pink was so NOT her colour. Mayday, mayday! She'd been hit. She was going down. Pink paint covered the right side of her face completely. Fortunately, she had closed her eyes in time to avoid getting paint in it. Wiping the paint off of her face with her right sleeve, she just blinked as she was stunned for a brief moment before snapping back into the game. WHERE HAD THAT COME FROM!?!? Was that Matt? Or Tenacius? Their head of house? Or an ickle first year? Or Noelle?!?! She eyed all the suspects suspiciously. So much for truces. She'd have to battle this by herself. She glanced up to see that Zoryn and Noelle pairing up and going after Matt. Hmm.. That wasn't fair. So she decided to not throw a balloon at Matt this time. Then again on the matter of truces. "Hey! You two! Catch!" she grinned, throwing two pink balloons in their direction before darting off to find some more ammo. With a balloon in hand, she began scanning the arena for Tenacius . Where had her parole officer run off too? Hmm...? She couldn't find him but she did see a few balloons headed her way. She ducked, managing to successfully avoid a few of them. Phew. Now who had thrown those? Had that been Sam? She threw a balloon towards her just in case and went to grab another one. Then she rolled to her next hiding spot feeling completely like a Mission Impossible agent now. All she needed was the music. |
Art chuckled, seeing his and Miss Hunter's balloons hitting Mr Salander at the same time. "Nowhere to hide," he said, throwing two balloons in random directions. He watched Miss Hunter approach Mr Klopp to try and encourage him out of the clean area. This was what Art loved about watching his students. They all came together to support one-another. Art was rather oblivious to the fact he had been saying too much for a young Lion to take in. He was about to say something else, when Miss Spinnet walked off. It was a party, after all. So, Art sent a balloon in her direction before ducking behind one of the walls for a quick breather. Art laughed loudly at Miss Swynford's comments. "It certainly is battle time," he said, watching as she joined back in and threw balloons over the barriers. His laughter continued with Miss Holden and her professional aiming, throwing the balloons around. He had to wipe his eyes when he saw her react to the pink paint splattering over her. |
Hoh Simon suddenly had two red balloons in his hands, seriously why was the Professor telling him to make such a mess, when it just didn't seem right and then he was telling him to aim for Tenacius. Well that was not going to happen. Simon got up as Ashley came over to him, it was obvious that he wasn't going to be allowed to just sit there, he had been thinking about getting a book out. Looking at the two balloons in his hands, he looked at Tenacius. No seriously that wasn't going to happen. He had been nice to him at the feast. Turning around, he threw both of them straight at his Head of House. Watching with baited breath to see if they would hit. |
All the Lions!! ATTACK! Paint in the ears was not a good thing. Noelle could feel it drooping in there. Taking a moment to clean her ear, she looked at Z to do some quiet planning while the chaos was happening all around them. Professor Newt had already sent another balloon her way. And Ace threw one that splattered against the car... which got on Noelle again. She felt bad for the poor house elves that were going to have to clean this up. Did they know that this was happening?? How had they allowed it to happen?! She was glad though. Because she was having a blast. Wait.... "Z, I have an idea." Noelle told Z. She probably looked funny but.... Noelle moved to look at her reflection in the car door. There wasn't much she could see of herself but she made due. Pulling her hair back, she worked on making the paint that was covering one side of her face, into like warrior paint. "Let me do yours too?" She asked Z quickly after hearing Olivia. Her eyes darted towards Olivia and saw a balloon coming her way. She pulled her wand out and stopped it mid-air before sending it back. Was that allowed? Opps. There was a student that Noelle didn't know, (Sam) that had joined in on the fight. Noelle had spotted her out the corner of her eye. She handed Z a balloon. "See if you can peg her!" And there was also Simon who she had met at the feast. He didn't seem thrilled to be here. But that wouldn't stop Noelle from sending a balloon at him through the car door window! Plus, Professor Newt and Ace were getting the most hits. Matt was getting pummeled too. Good! That meant they were having a good fight. But each one of them got a few balloons sent at, because.... sportsmanship really. Wink. |
The time had come. Unknown to the people in the common room, even in the smallest nook, a surprise was awaiting. A loud POP could be heard, mere seconds before hundreds of balloons hovering above the ceiling DROP to the floor. Large balloons, small ballons, filled with EVERY color of the rainbow. |
Just grabbing Simon here *whistle* Ashley watched Simon hesitate. Why didn't he not want to play? Who wouldn't like it? It was amazing! Maybe he doesn't like getting dirty. That should be it. She watched as the throwing contest continue, now that she was immediately out of the way none of the balloons followed her. Thankfully. Recovery time. Then she heard it. POP And she looked up. WHAT A GREAT MISTAKE. The ceiling had just vanished and from above were... " AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" how many were are there? Balloons were charging towards them. BALLOOOOOOOONS. RED.YELLOW. GREEN. BLUE.... OH MY GODDDDDD! "THEY FOOLED US" she shouted. She had no idea who was they. It was going to fall any moment now. "RUUUUUNNNNN!!!" And she grabbed Simon by his hand. The boy didn't want to play, he probably wouldn't want this either. And she dashed towards the corner. HIDE.HIDE.HIDE. BUT WHERE???? She had barely reached the corner, when the first balloon touched her shoulder and burst at contact. And it OOZED Orange. Yikes. Then all hell broke loose. |

"I understand Clara's exception." Aslan stated, once again her dark eyes moving from cousin to cousin, inspecting them both in her usual way. "But neither of you are snogging Olivia Phillips, so why is she an exception to the rule?" She asked simply, ignoring the boys' echoes of pay up They were so impatient, they were so boyish.. So Gryffindor. |
Suddenly Simon was being attacked by Ashley. "HELP, I'M being taken!" Simon then suddenly realised why Ashley was doing what she did and as soon as she had dragged him to the corner, he turned to thank her, when he realised she was orange. "HAHAHAHAHA!" Simon started to laugh, but then suddenly. *POP* A yellow balloon had splatted on his head. "Okay this is war!" Simon turned around and ran after the balloons, he had no idea what he was going to do to the balloon, saying that he didn't know any spell and what was worse was the balloons were coming from above. "Okay new plan!" Simon said as he got hit by loads of different plans. "RETREET!!!!!!!!!!!!" He then turned around and went and coward behind Ashley. |
Ballooooons!!! Noelle was about to come up with a plan with Little Miss Z when Ashley and Simon started a little fight. She laughed, glad that Simon seemed to be easing up and was enjoying himself now. But then... A pop was heard and the ceiling turned to balloons... hundreds of them!! Noelle grabbed her wand and cast an umbrella charm over her head, hopefully it was strong enough to cover her and Z, with their war paint on. |
PostParty Timeline - felix navidad It may have taken a lot longer than she had planned for it too, but after fifteen whole minutes Zoryn Spinnet finally managed to get her mattress off her bed and down the stairs that led to the common room from the girls' dormitories. And yes, she had broken a sweat whilst doing it. But the mattress was KIND OF HUGE next to her tiny, little body. So of course she had a difficult time!!!! Especially because there was no one else around to help. Next time she'd wait until Faith was in the room and she'd as for HER help. Plus, faith would definitely be up for some shenanigans. It was the absolute best part of having roommates. But anyways, Zoryn was POOPED. She had spent all her energy getting the mattress to move, that she didn't have any left to actually set the plan into motion!!! (((that was a lie))) (((she always had the energy))) (((she was just being dramatic))) And like any good, dramatic idiot Zoryn Spinnet knew how to dramatically fall onto a mattress. Something she did quite regularly after a "long" day of FUN and EXCITEMENT, and something she did just now in the middle of the common room. Was she in the way? Yes, very much so. |
what ariana said Quote:
Anyways, he had certainly heard the commotion happening nearby, on account of the fact that their dormitory door had been propped open (and so was the window, because there had been a strange smell in the dormitory, which Abey reckoned was due to Théo having too many beans at breakfast) (or maybe it was Abey) (it was hard to know for sure). ANYWAYS, the point was, he had HEARD the RUCKUS, and - after it had been going on for some time - he had finally gone out to the stairwell (where he had found nothing basically actually), and then to the common room to investigate. Which is where he saw............ "Oh." THAT was a Gryffindor. On a mattress. In a room that wasn't intended for mattresses. Which actually made it all the more exciting actually. "Are we having a sleepover?" Meaning that clearly they were, but could Abey be invited too? Would it be very inappropriate to dramatically flop onto the mattress as well? Abey was sure, but also actually he wasn't even considering the matter, and he had already done exactly that. #DRAMATICFLOP |
Quote:
Zoryn heard the ‘oh’. And she heard someone approaching. And actually she heard a lot of things in the last three minutes that she had spent just laying on this mattress in the middle of the Gryffindor Common Room. Funny how much you hear things when you’re quiet. It was a lot harder to hear things when she was talking, which she normally was. But anyways, the ‘oh’. She heard that. But she didn’t move until she heard the question. That’s when she opened her eyes and looked up with LOTS OF EXCITEMENT. A sleepover? Were they having one? Well technically no. But.. ”We TOTALLY should!!” she grinned. It was an INCREDIBLE idea!!! ‘Cause a lot of her friends were boys and they were in their own dorms which was sad, but if they had a sleepover THEY COULD ALL HANG OUT TOGETHER. And then she went for a brief fly in the air as the ‘oh’ kid flopped onto the mattress too. Which sent her in a fit of giggles. ”I wasn’t actually gonna sleep,” she started explaining, as if the boy had asked another question. ”I was gonna go mattress surfing, but then I got tired since I had to carry this thing all the way down from my room.” Which wasn’t a complete lie. It was only a partial one. She had pushed it down the stairs for the majority of the trip down, but it still took a lot of work. Did he wanna mattress surf toooooo? Because Zoryn would ask him, probably. |
Art was HIT by both of the balloons Mr Klopp was holding. Right in his chest! "You got me!" he said, melodramatically, but with a hint of a smile. He was very happy to see that the young man had decided to join in, even if it WAS aimed at Art. He didn't mind at all, though. Art was turning to Miss Summers at the time when he heard a Pop. He looked up. BAD IDEA. He was hit on the face with MULTIPLE balloons, paint exploding all around him. Everyone was in delighted (he hoped) chaos, and as he looked around he saw the Common Room in such a state of MESS that he began fearing the house elves. Unfortunately in the process of all those balloons falling from the height above, all of the balloons in the buckets popped. "Oh, folks, it looks like the balloons have run out," he said with a grin. His face remained a mix of different colours. He pulled out his wand to clean his glasses so that he could see, and put them back. It was... well it was COVERED in paint. He let out a laugh. "Thank you everyone for participating! Now, if any of you know cleaning charms, please help with the younger students." He didn't want them to have to go upstairs to the clean dormitories with paint covered clothes, and make a mess up there. His wand was still out and he was prepared to give a magical cleaning to anyone who wanted one, but he also began cleaning the paint with a simple Scouring charm. It was doing the trick, and the paint splotches around him magically disappeared. SPOILER!!: OOC |
Quote:
But oh (again). That WASN'T what was happening here, which was interesting, because it clearly meant that something less expected was in the works. ... That certainly WAS unexpected. Abey thought for a moment, screwing up his face to do so. His thinking face was quite similar to his 'I'm in pain' face, just by the way. He rolled onto his back, and lay on the mattress, staring up at the ceiling. Stiiiiiiiill thinking. "You're gonna drag this mattress all the way to the LAKE?" he finally asked, sounding incredulous. "I didn't think it had waves big enough for surfing." But, if it did, surfing with a MATTRESS sounded perfect. You would be much less likely to fall off, that was for sure. But also. "Isn't it actually also a little bit far too cold, too?" |
anyone want to play? ^^ After a long day of classes and climbing the never ending staircase, Olivia finally made it into her common room. Thank Merlin it was warmer in here. With satchel lazily slung on her left shoulder, she stood in front of the fireplace, rubbing her hands together, as she tried to get warm. She didn't like winter. Snow was great at all but it got everywhere pretty quickly. All over her boots and whatnot. Sure, she had magic but she was just getting tired. Once her hands were warm, she headed to the couch closest to the fireplace and sunk into it. She closed her eyes and reflected on her day |
Quote:
So as soon as she climbed through the portrait hole she made a beeline for the sofa. The sofa that happened to be in front of the fireplace. Dropping her bag she flopped to the cushy, lovely piece of furniture with a heavy sigh. This day was the worst. Groaning was now happening. Typically when people heard her being so dramatic and groany they tended to do things for her. Perhaps a cute younger student would offer her some assistance. |
Quote:
Oh. It was Dora. Yay! She liked hearing Dora but she didn't like the groaning. She wondered what was wrong. "Rough day too?" she asked looking at her housemate. |
Quote:
Turning her head slightly, Dora offered a little smile to the other girl. She was sweet, she was. Giving a slight nod, the older lion scooted around a bit and got settled in. "Very. You?" She could share first. And then Dora would get them cocoa and they could commiserate. WOE BE THE LIONS! |
Open for ANYONE! <3 Noelle was disgruntled. How could she stay in this room when and escort people around after seeing that Carlton had been sucked into the portal.. not to mention now she knew about Henry and Rooney being taken too. Pacing the corridor, she should have been checking on students or doing homework... or doing something productive... but all she could manage to do was pace. Students couldn't even pee by themselves. They should be setting up something to go after that portal. See what is inside of it. Fight! Noelle needed Olly... She needed Noah... |
Izzzzyyy So the curfew thing was pretty interesting. Blaise thought that, like with everything else, the Professors wouldn't look too deeply into what was happening with the student body but just look at this; curfews at 6, buddy systems for a simple pee break and a longer walk to any class lower than the sixth floor. Whoever decided to mess with the school chose just the corridor to do it. Occupy the fastest way to and from classes just to tick people off. Good going unknown attacker. Blaise sprawled across the couch of the Common Room, getting himself settled for the evening. No going anywhere til morning anyway. His quill dutifully took down his dictations as he gave a play by of the new ridiculousness the school had become. You'd THINK after the first batch of missing kids his mum would be begging him to stay home and help her with the garden but apparently OWLs were super important and with Julie having no serious objections to returning, it was apparently his job to protect her. Sure. Leave the kid that never did magic to protect his little sister from obviously magical forces. Brilliant really. Nothing to do but wait for this madness to end, as usual. |
Quote:
He gave a deep, irritated groan as he removed the charm and closed his book rather forcefully. With a sour look on his face, his eyes glanced around the room at these noise-makers. Blue eyes fell upon a nearby Blaise, though, then to the unused wizard's chess board on the table before them. That could be a distraction. Or an attempt at one. But Blaise seemed busy speaking to his quill. Sam slumped back in his armchair, and when there was a lull in Blaise's words that at least resembled the close of his dictation, Sam spoke. "Are you recording all that for yourself or for a letter to someone?" |
Quote:
The boy's brows creased in concentration, though any hope he had of catching that train of thought was quickly dashed when Sam's voice cut into his concentration. Brown eyes shifted to meet til the met the blue of his housemate. They lingered only a moment before looking to his quill again, gesturing it to continue it's recording of whatever it heard. "For myself. I send some to my mum depending on how horrible my quill can get 'em sounding but for the most part it's for my own amusement." He liked the way his quill could take a perfectly normal situation and turn it into something straight out of a dysfunctional sitcom. Kept him sane on days he'd otherwise expire from boredom. "I may have it copy down that notice the Headmistress gave the next time I'm out of the Common Room for kicks." Both because of how potentially interesting it could end up and because something like THAT could maybe...hopefully...kinda make his mum let him leave early. Never knew til you tried right? The Fifth Year took notice of the book Sam had slammed seconds ago. "Homework?" In the noisiest of all the Common Rooms? |
anyone :3 Genny loved Hogwarts to bits, despite its reputation for being unpredictable and dangerous the Gryffindor loved it if merely that her father was headmaster for so long here. Her entire family studied and survived Hogwarts, how was she not to consider this school a second home? However, these days, Genny's feelings were mixed between love and anger and sadness and helplessness which all led to her feeling mad really. She couldn't go outside to let off some steam by jogging or beating up the grounds with her bat, no. She was supposed to be chaperoned everywhere she went. And Henry was missing (along with others). Dragging her feet up to one of the couches, the fourth year threw herself there and let out a loooooooooooong pufffffffffffffffff of airrrrrrrrrr. |
*grabs* Quote:
It just so happened that it had become increasingly difficult for him to do so. Though he understood the concerns and why such drastic measures had been taken, he could not abide the idea of always being shadowed by someone presumably more capable at protecting him than he was. It was--insulting. Nice of the Headmistress to be so concerned, of course, but it was insulting. What if a portal decided to just open in front of him while he walked to the bathroom with a prefect? He could maybe see a professor or the head boy or head girl being able to do SOMETHING to stop it but what could a fifth year prefect do? It wasn't like their education was any different than Levi's. He huffed uncharacteristically loudly, plopping himself down on a chair across from another Gryffindor. A little younger? Or older? He could never be sure. "You know," He began, trying to keep his annoyance out of his tone and barely succeeding. "I'd never noticed how constricting this place is." Levi frowned. "Or how loud it can get." How was he even supposed to study for his OWLs?????? |
Genny, Levi and Y'ALL GRYFFINDORSSSZ..... This curfew is..... weird. And kinda sucky. No he's not complaining that his duties pretty much quadrupled overnight and that he had to walk students way older than him to trivial places like the bathroom as if they're some pre-schooler, but now the Common Room is crammed with bored Gryffindors. Which is usually a powder keg for trouble waiting to happen. He knows what they need. They need a distraction. "Hey guys!" he greeted them cheerfully, despite the prevailing mood of missing schoolmates. With a flourish, trays upon trays of TOWERING MILKSHAKES plopped on tables throughout the common room. "Something to pass the time." he beamed. Whats better than free food? What about trying to puzzle out your free food. Or maybe its free ammo. Who knows. |
Quote:
"I'm surprised you haven't had your quill copy that down yet," he said, in reference to his comment about recording the Headmistress' most recent notice. That's where Sam would have started his journal entry today if he'd kept one. It was a logical place to start because from there you could go on to explain that that was why everyone was jammed in the common room, and hence why you were bored and confined, and so forth. Anyway. Sam didn't keep a journal, so it was beside the point. Sam's eyes lowered to the book he'd slammed shut a few minutes ago, then shook his head. "Just for pleasure." It was fiction, not a textbook. All his homework was well finished by this point, what with being cooped up at such an early curfew. |
Quote:
Great, maybe they could be annoyed and frustrated together. That would be fun. "Hm?" She listened, lying like a ragged doll on the couch. "Yeah. Constricting. A lot. Too much. Maybe we should sneak into the Ravenclaw's common room. At least they have large windows. Or Hufflepuff's, they're basically outside but with walls around them." What did that even mean? Ugh. She was annoyed that Nick and Davie had better constricting places than she did. UGH. "I don't mind the loud noise, though. I'd be running around crazy if it was quiet too." Again, not figurative speech. Quote:

mention of the milkshakes Quote:
As for him not yet taking down the Headmistress' warnings..."I guess you can say my quill's been a little pre-occupied." Lots to cover, so little time, that sort of deal. " 'Sides, I might decide to write it down myself, keep it free of distortions, otherwise mum'll just think I'm exaggerating." Funny how he didn't need his quill to portray just how ridiculous this situation had gotten. Lions packed up in their Common Room, mandatory pee buddies, free milkshakes "Thanks mate." Blaise reached across for one that appeared by the table his couch was at. Right. Couldn't make this stuff up if he wanted to--or he could but why bother when reality had gotten so entertaining? Blaise eased himself into a sitting position, both to begin sipping his milkshake and to get a better look at Sam's book. "S'it like an adventure book or something?" |

He slid down on the couch until he was basically half sitting, half lying down. "Maybe we should." He had no idea who this girl was, but, well--boredom and Gryffindor teens were probably not a good combination. It was possible the powers that be hadn't really thought this whole curfew thing through, which was unfortunate. For them. "I bet the Ravenclaws have a better view than we do." He wasn't bitter AT ALL. "Do you have any ideas on how to go on about this?" Levi was being perfectly serious. "Oh, and I'm Levi. I don't think I know your name." Quote:
"Those look GREAT." Levi did not actually indulge on sweets, mostly because his mum had sort of brainwashed him and his siblings into disliking them, but well, the one positively dripping chocolate looked interesting. Unfortunately, it'd decided to wait for him on the table only a few inches away from where his feet were propped, which were definitely a few inches too far away from him. He was definitely too comfortable to move, so Levi lazily swished his wand and summoned it. Some of did slosh on his on his school shirt, but such things could not be helped sometimes. Although, it did make Levi frown. But at least the taste was good enough to wipe the frown off his forehead. He grinned. "This is definitely gonna give us all diabetes, probably. Cheers, mate!" |

Wait, what? Sneak into the Ravenclaw common room? "That is the sole brilliant idea I've heard all week." She replied not-so-enthusiastically because they both knew it was near impossible to do. Unless Davie helped but that good-for-nothing boy would never break rules. "We need an inside person. My friend is no good, he's too scared of rules. His mom runs a tight ship back at home." She laughed lazily at her own metaphor, Mrs. Bunbury was a tough sailor alright. Genny was legit scared of the lady sometimes, it was a good thing they rarely met and when they did it was only in big gatherings. "Do you have anyone?" Also, Ace was not going to rat them out, pffft. Ace was cool. "Genny Tate." Her name. |
Quote:
He blinked, lowered the glass. Frowned down at it for a moment. "Actually, Genny Tate, not that I don't want to take credit for this brilliant idea, but it was all yours. Unless you weren't serious." Or unless he was just not remembering things correctly. "Actually, now I'm sure you were weren't serious about it." One of those offhand comments people made all the time, which Levi sometimes didn't get. Straight-forward as he was, he was often quite literal and constantly forgot other people tended not to be. "My bad." He placed the milkshake on the floor next to the sofa he'd occupied, and then stretched, a little bit like a cat. "I really only know the prefect. Kitty." And that wasn't going to be any help at all, for obvious reasons. "But my sister is a Hufflepuff so there is that." |
Quote:
Kitty..... hmmm. "Well we're going to have to distract this Kitty and Rooney, the other prefect, if we want to pass through. You snog Kitty and I Rooney. We'll leave them too dizzy to realize what happened by the time we're in." She improvised slowly and lazily, making up an adventure that was not only ridiculous but lacked logic. Who cares about those things, though, Genny just wanted to have fun even if it was mind role-playing. "You have a sister here, too? Oh man, I gotta get me one of those. I'm starting to thing I'm the only one with no relatives in school." She paused, actually thinking of lying to people and claiming Nicky as her brother. "Who's she? Maybe she'll sneak us in and save us from all the snogging." |
Quote:
He supposed the only feasible choice would be sneaking out. Or sneaking in, if Genny Tate was as serious as she suggested she was. He straightened, and for maximum effect, picked up his milkshake again and slurped on it some more. Terrible idea. "Seems like trouble." But Levi laughed regardless, admittedly startled at her suggestion. "And possibly dangerous if they are seeing other people." Levi did not actually feel like giving explanations to Kitty's boyfriend after having snogged her senseless just for a prank. Or worse, to Kitty herself, later on. And yet. "Much better than what I had in mind, though, which is stealing some Ravenclaw robes and just joining a pack of them after dinner." He lowered his glass of milkshake again, now more than a little half empty. "You could change your hair and I could take off my glasses. Obviously no one would recognize us." OBVIOUSLY. Levi actually laughed. It was so ridiculous. Or WAS it? It wasn't like he KNEW a lot of Ravenclaws or viceversa. "Orrrr, we just do both." There was really no reason to. Not only would they leave both prefects confused, they'd also be able to blend in with the rest just fine. He'd also had no kissing experience beyond the experiments done over the summer with the muggle girl who lived next door; Levi did not want to get rusty in case he had to kiss someone he genuinely liked. This was very selfish of him, he knew, which dampened his mood a little bit. "Althea is a fourth year and a pain of enormous proportions, that's who she is." But he sounded relatively fond. "She'd be no help and would probably rat me out to my parents as soon as I annoy her for whatever reason." Most of the time Levi's existence alone was enough. |
Quote:
See that sibling rivalry? That was something Genny longed for sometimes. She had Giuseppe who's like thirty five now but that didn't count because he's SO OLD and he doesn't fight with her or bicker or whatever. He's too mature, he's almost like having a young dad. It sucked. But also she loved him to bits and wouldn't trade him for the world. "Oh hey, she's in my year. I must've seen her around and not known her name." A hufflepuff Althea, she was going to look for her now. "Oh that does sound like what a sibling would do." She laughed, "Luckily, I don't have anything to rat me out. Not here nor at home." |
Quote:
Always try everything once. Jump in and ask questions later. “Anyway,” Levi continued, trying very hard not to laugh. Which was difficult because the sugar had gone to his head. “I think the socially acceptable term would be ‘creative.’” The fifth year jumped back on his feet, stretching his arms above his head. “There's always someone that can you rat you out, Genny Tate. Probably when you least expect it.” With a quick flick of his wand, he cleaned his mostly empty glass of milkshake. “I’m going out. Wanna come with?” Levi made sure to say it VERY LOUDLY so prefect authorities or whatever would KNOW he was not going alone. It almost made him roll his eyes. “Buddy system and all!” |
Quote:
"Socially accepted terms are just boring." She added with a chuckle, then watched with bemusement as his sugar rush commenced. "I don't believe that." About the ratting out things. She only ever cared about her parents hearing things that would embarrass them about her, really. She couldn't care less about embarrassing her professors. However, professors usually ratted students to parents so... this was one of them vicious cycles. Ugh, they were moving now? But she enjoyed being lazy and lying here on the couch. "I will if you carry me out of here." She grinned, completely being serious. |
Quote:
This was pretty unprecedented. He tilted to one side, slowly. A smile did creep on to his mouth quite slowly, too, and a little crookedly, maybe. Girls had the funniest ideas, sometimes. It was really not that easy to tell what with all the school robes and uniform, but she didn't look particularly heavy. Levi was pretty sure his early morning work outs with his siblings--enforced by Declan himself, of course--were about to pay off. "Alright, Genny Tate. Alright." Levi approached her, buzzing with sugar and possibly amusement at the girl. He barked out a laugh. "Are you partial to piggyback rides, fireman's carry...?" |
Quote:
Genny did not think he'd agree to her silly request, but he did! She grinned and lifted up her arms lazily. "Hell, no piggyback, I'm not two." So, the other option was much better. Was he going to be able to hold her though? Because she was not heavy but she had quite some muscles from Quidditch, so she did look a little bigger than her peers. She was not self-insecure though so if they fell, it would be just a hilarious moment to cherish and write about in the memory book in her seventh year. |
Quote:
Anyway, sugar highs were something else. Probably going to crash soon, too. He considered his options. Then he bent down and slipped one arm in the space between her back and the couch and the other around the bend in her knees. The boy brought himself back up, Genny Tate included, though not without visible effort. He tested his balance. It was fine. Maybe? Last time he'd held someone it'd been Althea and though athletic, Althea was for sure slighter. "Uuh, Genny Tate--" He began, looking down, realizing too late she was probably too close or he was probably too close. HMMM. His head tilted to one side and one of his eyebrows quirked up. "--you are heavier than I thought." |
Truth be told, Nick hadn't been seen roaming about the castle much these days. The portal and its energy made him anxious, which was why he had found refuge in the Spirit Room with the other ghosts -- besides Myrtle who insisted she stay in her bathroom in spite of everything. Though, with the recent disappearance of three boys (none of his Gryffindors, thank goodness), the ghost felt like he needed to keep an eye on his cubs and help in any way he could. Perhaps they would be entertained (and distracted) if he told them about the magical mishap that got him nearly headless? It was a grand old story that he hadn't told in a while. "Good evening, my dear lions!" he said warmly as he floated through the wall. His ghostly eyes then stopped at lad giving one of the lasses a fireman's carry. "I do not believe that is proper etiquette for the common room, Mister Kenning and Miss Tate." |

Grinning, "Now now is that a way to talk to a lady? It's all my--" she was going to make another joke when Nearly Headless Nick floated in. "Hi, sir Nicholas!" She greeted, genuinely happy to see the ghost. He'd given her a tour of the castle in her first year and both were good friends since. "Oh, we're just plaaaaaying. Right, Levi?" She laughed and held on to Levi's neck as her legs wiggled to be lowered to the floor. The poor guy was going to hurt his back. |
Nick and Genny Tate. :3 Aaaaand busted. Well, in a manner of speaking anyway. Levi's grin went from Genny Tate to the Gryffindor ghost, going from slightly smug to slightly sheepish. He supposed it was a bit of a compromising position to be found in, but the fifth year wagered it could have been worse. More than that, Levi was for sure that in all of Nick's time in the school he had doubtlessly seen and heard worse. Gryffindors students had historically always found very inventive ways to pass the time. Among other things. As he lowered Genny Tate down, Levi did manage to cackle a little bit. "Hey, Sir Nicholas." The cackle did become a bit of a groan, because his back was inclined to some more protests. "Genny Tate is very right." It was all very innocent. "Even if my back disagrees. How is it going for you? We are all dying over here. Never knew boredom could be a terminal illness." Maybe he was being a little insensitive. "Uuuuhh, no offense or anything." |
Though carrying each other around in the common room was unpractical, Nick couldn't help but smile down at them. Yes, he knew the antics of Gryffindors. He was quite grateful that he hadn't walked in on something worse, given the recent confinement that most lions did not respond well to. Heaven forbid they turned the place into a swamp or let fire crabs roam about freely. His smile did waver slightly at Levi's choice of words. Dying ... boredom ... terminal illness. The ghost did not believe those were appropriate ways to describe their situation. They were alive and well. "It could be worse," he responded reasonably. "You could have been hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe." Setting that conversation aside, he focused on the boy's question. "I've been doing well, taking everything going on into consideration. The other ghosts and I have been keeping to the Spirit Room on the fifth floor. The amount of energy we have been sensing is just unnerving." |
For Kerri/Liv Alice made her way to the common room, the seats near the fireplace were always the most comfortable. This script was long and it kept changing. Rewrites were apparently a thing on a big film like this. There was a lot of non-script things she had to learn as well. But that was for August and for now there was Hogwarts and the monster to think about. The redhead was concerned with the safety of her brother and friends in other houses. When would there be a year where students at Hogwarts could just learn and not worry about their safety? Whatever.. After a few minutes of reading Diaval flew after her as she knew he would and landed on the arm of her chair. "Hi, Pretty bird." |
Open post! Noelle entered the common room and took a look around. Her heart was racing. Her mood shifted. She reaaaaally wished she could have a butterbeer right now. Knowing she couldnt sit right now, she paced in front of the fire. She'd give Olly enough time to get to his common room before sending him a birdie. And she already knew Althea and Declan were safe. Her eyes found Ava. Good. Noah... she hadnt heard from. That worried her. What if the monster got him?? .... She wasnt going to think about that right now. What could she think about? She twirled her wand, her mind on one thing... the monster. The loose monster in Hogwarts, with his teeth and claws. Not to mention the speed. The fire crackled as she paced in front of it. Where the house elves scared to move around the castle?? Did they even know about the monster. Be careful. [UPDATE] Hearing the announcement from the headmistress, Noelle didn't even stop to think. She headed out of the common room in a sprint. |
