Default Battlements


High above overlooking the lake and a section of the grounds are the castle battlements. During the Battle of Hogwarts, the battlements where used to defend the school from Lord Voldemort and his allies. This is also where Sirius Black rode away on Buckbeak the hippogriff, but keep that hush hush. Though some damage remains, the battlements remain fairly intact and provide an opportune place to be when an enemy is approaching.

Though there hasn't been a full-blown battle at Hogwarts for many years, the battlements nonetheless provide a nice view from a high vantage point. More often than not, the Giant Squid can be seen bathing himself in the sunlight; thestrals (if you can see them) fly above the trees at the edge of the lake; and if you look closely you'll be able to follow the road that leads to the Entrance Gates. If you're feeling up to climbing the tight spiral staircase to get there, know that it is worth the effort. There are wooden crates and barrels for you to sit on at the top should you need to catch your breath.

Now this, is a school with a view. After literally daydreaming in most of his classes that morning, Charlie continued to explore the castle in his free time, poking his head around empty corridors, empty rooms...and the female restroom by accident. With a bit of panic and embarrassment, he fled upstairs to escape further humiliation and ended up in the battlements where he was greeted by fresh air, and a bit of sunlight. Hallelujah, Mr. Sun!

Easing his way further, he climbed up the embrasure and made himself comfortable as he watched the grounds way below. So far, the day's been good for the fresh transfer. No questions whatsoever about his former professors in Ilvermorny who committed a big boo-boo in...where was that place again? Duffytown? His parents were of course worried that he might get bullied in Hogwarts, but Charlie had faith in his new school that it'll be kind to him. It wasn't his fault anyway.

After being done with the feast, this slytherin liked to walk around and take in the scenery. That is the one thing she missed about this school. She missed being able to walk around freely and just breathe in the fresh air. Her feet and mind just drag her to the best places. As she walked up the stairs she was greeted with bright sunlight and a cool breeze. As she turned to take it all in, she realized she wasn't alone. She widened her eyes not expecting anyone to be up here.

Zae didn't how to start the conversation. She instantly saw his yellow robes and noted he was a hufflepuff. Hmm...was he new? She never seen him before. Then again this slytherin wasn't TOO social. Zae figured she might as well give him a warm smile. She nodded and gave him a wave. "I didn't expect anyone to be up here. Not too many people come up here."

Charlie was about to pull out a packet of gum when the intrusion happened. Not that he didn't like it, in fact...he loved that someone else was there! "Oh hello!" he said swiveling his feet towards the inside of the battlement to face the newcomer. Hmm. A Slytherin? Yeah, they were cool people. He was yet to meet somebody who was mean and brute...because that's what all schools are like, yeah? But then this was Hogwarts, the school that's a stickler to old traditions and good manners. His hopes were high.

"Now that's a wonder. This is a great place to hang out and chill." he said looking over his shoulder then back to the older girl. "You come here often then?" he continued finally getting that packet of gum from earlier.

Zae was impressed this guy acknowledged her. She figured he might ignore her. She eyed his robes and saw some yellow markings. Ahhh he was a hufflepuff. They were labeled in her book as pansies and wore their hearts on their sleeves. Something Zarina cringed it. When he said hello, Zae nodded her head. "Yeah it is I mean the view is good and so is the fresh air for a chill out session." She squinted and put on her sunglasses to avoid the sunlight. She smirked and replied, "You trying to flirt with me?" She was joking she hoped that he would catch on. If not then he was a real dolt.

She examined his facial features and he looked cute. She figured he might have a girlfriend already. I mean how could this guy not. "Oh I am Zarina by the way." she shrugged. "Not that you wanted to know that or if it even matters."

Charlie got his packet of bubble gum out, unwrapped a sliver of the powdery, chewy candy and popped it into his mouth. The new transfer smiled and chuckled at the joke, and awkwardly scratched his nape as he chewed on his gum. "Naaah, not exactly how I'd do it," he replied as he looked back at the Slytherin, catching a glimpse of his reflection as she wore her sunnies. Were all Slytherins this cool? They all look swell to him. Was it a requirement to be in that house?

Charlie got off from the wall and walked towards the girl and gave her a wave, "'Course it matters, I was just about to ask your name." he said, nodding, his eyes sparkling. Meeting someone new was right up Charlie's alley. "My name's a mouthful, but you can call me Charlie." he then fished out his packet of gum and offered Zarina a piece. Okay, maybe now he's flirting. Maybe.

Rylee decided to mix it up today. Rather then head outside onto the ground after her final lesson the second year made way for one of the towers. However it wasn't the Gryffindor tower she going to this time. It was all about the Battlements this afternoon. It was still light enough out that maybe she would be able to catch a glimpse of Bartholomew Henry sunbathing on one of the rocks before the sun began to set and cast it's long shadows over everything.

One by one up the tight spiral staircase she went until she reached the top. Good thing she wasn't afraid of heights or cramped spaces or that would have been a serious problem. Glancing around Rylee realized right away that she was alone. Now that she thought about it more this was a really good spot to practice her dancing or do some cartwheels. For now though she was just going to enjoy the view for a few moments.

Ed was super eager to finish up his lessons today and continue his explorations of the castle. After dropping his belongings off in his dorm, he made his way to a door that had been calling his name. He had seen the door the other day and peeked behind it to find the spiraling stair case, but didn't have time to check it out then. Now though, he had plenty of time, and was barreling up the stairs, wondering what was located above. Busting out into the daylight, he paused to catch his breath and look around. As he was gulping in air, and taking in the view, he noticed he wasn't alone. "Hi," he said breathlessly, calling out to the girl. "You exploring too?"

Hands shoved down deep into the pockets of her jeans, head tilted back slightly up towards the sky waiting for it to sink down behind the clouds, Rylee didn't hear the boy until he called out to her. "Something like that!" She called back to him before turning around to see who it was she was even speaking with not recognizing the voice right away. A soft smile tugs at her lips seeing it's one of her fellow lions. "Have you ever been up here before?" Curious as to what he might know about the place, if anything at all. Knows a fair bit about it from lessons and doing some of her research but mostly just likes looking around and enjoying the open space. Lots of room to run around and burn off energy. Be a twelve year old!

Ed watched the girl as she responded to his inquiry, and turned to face him. When she did, he thought she looked familiar but honestly wasn't sure why. There were so many people here, it was hard to keep them all straight, especially if he hadn't really met them before. “Cool! Have you found anything awesome?” he asked, peering out over the grounds, seeing all of the people taking advantage of the last of their time outside. Turning back to the girl, he shook his head. “Nope, I just found the stairs that lead up here the other day. And you? Do you come here often?” he asked, adding, “And what is this place anyways?” It seemed like it was a secret or something. “It's really awesome up here, and quite too.”

There were a lot of 'awesome' things around Hogwarts. It all came down to what his meaning of the word 'awesome' was. Rylee thought over the question for a second as she rocked back and forth on her heels. "Up here? Not exactly but there's loads of room to run around if that's something you like to do. It would make a pretty cool spot to play tag if we had some more people..." Which now that she was thinking about it sounded like a lot of fun. Running around, laughing, having a good time with friends in the setting sunlight. She was pulled back from her thoughts again when asked if she came up here often. "Not really. I come up here sometimes when I want space to do my own thing, there's usually not many people up here. If anyone at all." At least not when she's been up here. Ah, so he didn't know what this place was. Ry, smiled. "This is the battlements. It helped protects Hogwarts from Lord Voldemort and his allies during the Battle at Hogwarts."

Ed looked around the place as the girl was talking, thinking that she had a very god point. “Oh yeah!” he said enthusiastically. “I bet it would make for a pretty epic game of tag.” He could just see himself for running along the edge of the wall chasing after someone else. “I bet it's be fun to play tag by that weird tree thing down on the grounds too.” It would make it much more challenging.

He walked over towards the girl, so he didn't have to talk so loudly“It's weird that not a lot of people come up here. I mean, you can see everything up here.” Peering over the side he frowned. He wasn't familiar with this story. Though if it was about Hogwarts, that made sense. “Oh, I guess its one of the magic battles we'll learn about in class? Because they definitely didn't teach that at my old school.” Resting against the wall, he thought about how weird, and cool it was to be standing where some battle actually took place.

"Mhmm. With all this room up here. It would be pretty cool, especially as afternoon fades away into evening and it starts to get darker." It would make it a little harder to see one another but that was the point. "We should as our housemates to come up here sometime. Maybe they'll play with us." A Gryffindor bonding experience? Whoa?! Rylee hadn't thought about that but yes! "The Whomping Willow?! That would be epic! Not only would you have to run away from one another but keep away from the tree knocking you on your behind." She giggled. Now that would be a fun time.

As he walked closer she smiled. "I know. I like the view." There was always something to look at from this high up. "Mhmm. We'll talk about a lot of battles and loads of other facts about the castle and the grounds and it's founders too." Leaning against the wall beside him she looked out over the distance for a long moment before glancing back at him. "I'm Rylee by the way." In case he didn't remember or just didn't know.

It was getting in the evening and while the sun had dipped below the mountains that surrounded the school, it was still fairly light out. It'd be another half an hour before the final light of day was lost, at which point Quinnlin would pack her violin and her books back into bag and would head back into the castle and ready herself for dinner.

For now, however, Quinn continued to play her violin fiercely, her bow sliding angrily over the strings. She wasn't playing anything particular, just playing. The enchanted instrument sounding more like a string quartet than a solo violin. Music was an outlet for her, and tonight she was pouring everything she felt into her playing. She let her emotions drive hands and the bow; all the anger and bitterness and resentment she felt toward her parents and that letter flowing out of her and into the music. An original composition in the moment that would never be heard again.

And she was still angry. Even with everything with the Moons, and her future looking suddenly much more optimistic, she was angry at her parents, and that wasn't going to fade soon. She understood now why Puck had told her she needed to say everything she wanted to, needed to to her parents. It was the only way she'd be free of it.

Her book, currently displaying a book on magical theory, laid open and forgotten at her feet, its pages flapping in the wind. The cold of November had set in, which was partially why Quinn was up her, on the battlements rather than someplace warmer and with better acoustics. It was cold and none of her fellow students would be up here. It was just her, alone, the cold air biting her cheeks. The rest of her remained warm and snug in the many layers she'd put on; the black leather jacket Puck gave her made up the top most layer. It seemed to fit better with all the layers she had on underneath.

Even though this was her sixth year at Hogwarts, Regina still wasn't quite used to the bitter cold that can during the winter months. Even though she once taught at Ilvermorny and faced the chill of winter, she didn't think the two were quite comparable. It was why she did her best to keep to the castle, to make use of those heating charms and keep those fireplaces well lit. Even so, she still couldn't help but wrap herself in her warmest cloak.

She was casually making her way from having a casual chat with Celestia in her office, heading in the direction of the grand staircase when she heard the sound of a violin being played. Rather than continue her long trek down tot he Great Hall, she followed the sound, walking down a few corridors until she was standing at the base of the staircase that led to the battlements. Curious, she made the climb up the spiral stairs.

When she made it to the top and caught sight of Quinnlin, the woman just stood there, silent, listening to the music being played. She pulled her cloak closer to her, stopping the wind from biting at her cheeks. How the Ravenclaw could play under these conditions was astounding. But the cold didn't bother the girl; she, it seemed, was too focused on ... something else.

Then, after listening for a few moments more, Regina made her presence known with a quiet cough. "It's almost time for dinner, Miss Kevelle."

The first year jumped at the cough, and stopped playing. She wasn't exactly sure who she'd expected to be standing there when she turned around, but the Headmistress wasn't it. Quinn straightened up, and studied the woman silently, as if she were a book the young girl was trying to read.

"Yes," Quinn agreed finally, before emphasizing, "Almost." Still, she took the hint and lovingly returned her violin to its case. "I just came up here for a bit of solitude. Music helps me..." Her eyes flicked back to the Headmistress, almost as if trying to read her thoughts from her expression. How much did Professors actually share with the Headmistress about things, possibly, going on with students? The Headmistress wasn't letting much show on her face, so it was difficult to say. "....with things."

Best just leave it there for now, yeah?

Quinn slipped the violin case into her messenger bag, and picked up her book. "I was trying to work out a new spell idea I had." As a first year, it would be a while before she could hope to succeed at inventing her own spells, at least without bring them to Imogen or some other adult to assist her in working it out and casting it. But that didn't mean she couldn't start working on it now.

"What brings you up here?" She asked in what might have been a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. She could remember seeing the Headmistress up here before.

"What brings you up here?" She asked in what might have been a mixture of curiosity and suspicion. She could remember seeing the Headmistress up here before.
The headmistress remained expressionless, not showing any signs that she had noticed the girl's reaction to her being there even though the music stopping and position straightening made things obvious to infer that she had interrupted something.

She silently watched as Quinn placed the violin in its case. An eyebrow did rise when the Ravenclaw mentioned that playing music helped her 'with things,' but she didn't inquire about that. Regina could assume, given what she had been told about the girl from her colleagues in addition with general knowledge about the behaviours and coping mechanisms of young adolescents. Regardless, if the girl wanted to give any more details, she'd let that happen naturally.

"What is the new spell you're thinking of?" the woman asked, genuinely curious.

As for Quinn's own question, the headmistress cracked a smile and said, "I was just heading down to the dining hall after having a quick conversation with one of the professors. Then the sound of a violin caught my attention and caused me to go on a little detour."

Quinn visibly relaxed slightly at the question that Headmistress Hawthorne asked. It wasn't about her, or her parents or her life, or even that story she told that kid over summer. Thankfully it wasn't about that.

"Oh," she said, more lively now. "I read about a..well, it's not really a condition in the normal sense of the word, but I'm not sure what else to describe it as. Synesthesia? Have you heard of it?" She didn't really wait for the Headmistress to respond before continuing. "It's where senses get crossed. So people with it can actually see music as colors and shapes. I was looking into how to enchant my violin, eventually," because it'd probably be a while before she was skilled enough for that, "to produce a similar effect when I play."

She might have been a tiny bit inspired by briefly seeing the Northern Lights in a recent astronomy lesson for a few seconds before she and Reese had been kicked out of the class.

"Oh." This 'oh' was uttered very differently than the previous one. "I would have used the Room of Requirement instead, but it wouldn't open for me, so I think some one was already using it."

Rylee hadn't thought about that but yes! "The Whomping Willow?! That would be epic! Not only would you have to run away from one another but keep away from the tree knocking you on your behind." She giggled. Now that would be a fun time.

As he walked closer she smiled. "I know. I like the view." There was always something to look at from this high up. "Mhmm. We'll talk about a lot of battles and loads of other facts about the castle and the grounds and it's founders too." Leaning against the wall beside him she looked out over the distance for a long moment before glancing back at him. "I'm Rylee by the way." In case he didn't remember or just didn't know.
The eleven year old's face lit up at the mention of playing at dusk. “That sounds like a lot of fun! My friends and I used to play flashlight tag all the time.” Back when they had actually all been friends anyways. “We should definitely do that! It'd be awesome with everyone up here.” It would be great to get to know his housemates more by doing something fun like that. “Mhmm.” he said with a nod. “More danger, more chance of getting hurt, means more adventure, right?”

He smiled looking out at everything. It was weird, he really hadn't been here that long, and everything was still so confusing, but this place already kind of felt like home. “It's really great here,” he admitted. “I've thought that class was pretty boring so far, but learning about things like that might be pretty interesting.” After all it was more interesting learning about history when it had to do with someplace you know. “Hi,” he said looking over at the girl grinning. “I'm Edmund, but you can call me Ed if you want.”

The smile that had appeared on her face remained. Was someone surprised she wasn't asking about things about her, her family, or even getting kicked out of Astronomy? Yes, Regina knew bits and pieces about those things by word of mouth, but that, for the time being, was something to keep an eye on. For now, some lighthearted conversation was in order.

Her mouth opened to say that she knew about synesthesia, but the girl was already giving her a definition and continuing on about the spell she wanted to create. The woman's mouth closed, and she remained silent as the young Ravenclaw passionately spoke.

"I think that would make for a wonderful spell," she finally said with a nod of her head. "What have you got figured out so far? And have you considered speaking with Professor Marchand about it?"

As for the second 'oh,' Regina did notice that it was different than before. She was tempted to ask about that, but shrugged it off -- if anything, Quinn might have been expecting a very different response. Her head did nod at the mention of the Room of Requirement. "I see," she said with a slight shiver due to the cold. "So the backup plan was the battlements?" No music classroom? Or another, much warmer, part of the castle?

Quinn lit up a moment at the Headmistress's words. Hearing that the Headmistress thought her spell idea was wonderful stirred a slight bit of pride in her. As for the rest of the Headmistress's reply, Quinn's face slipped back into her a more neutral expression at the mention of Professor Marchand. It just adults always felt tricky to her, and it took a certain type to make her feel at ease to open up to, and ask for help, even for working out spell ideas. And while Professor Marchand in no way made her feel ill at ease, or uncomfortable in anyway, the reverse was also true. He hadn't exactly made her feel at ease or comfortable either. She was still rather indifferent and undecided about him. Same with her own Head of House. It wasn't through any fault of their own, honestly. It simply was teh way she was.

Perhaps, she'd go to Professor Grimsbane and see if she can be of any help. Or she might try to work it out herself, make this one be the first she does on her own.

"I've been looking into a spell that Professor Kennedy taught...the class." She couldn't really say, 'we' as she'd missed that part of the lecture, but Rylee and given Reese her notes and they had gone over the spell together. "The one that let him produce an aurora like effect. I figure look into ways to maybe modify that would be a good start."

Quinn flashed a slightly sheepish smile at the Headmistress's next question. "I had used the spare office a bit before I found the Room of Requirement, but people kept interrupting..." In no way was that meant as a dig at the Headmistress at present, but she did ask, and that was the truth. "I thought up here might give me some more solitude." And it had. The Headmistress found her as she was starting to wrap up anyway, and so hadn't necessarily been interrupting all that much. "I like my space sometimes..." She added, hastily. It was more than sometimes honestly, but sometimes sounded better to grown-ups.

"What was school like for you, Headmistress?" Quinn had heard that she hadn't attended Hogwarts, but wasn't sure what school she had attended, if that was even true to begin with. Her accent certainly seemed to confirm it, but Quinn's grasp of accents outside the UK and some more prominent European countries was very weak. American, or Canadian, or Australian, she'd venture to guess based on the Headmistress's English, but she couldn't really rule out anywhere else either.

The lack of a verbal response concerning Marchand didn't go unnoticed, likewise with the slight change in facial expression. The headmistress, of course, didn't pry into that further. If anything, it was just a small seed that was meant to be planted in the girl. Being that Charms professor, it only made sense to go to him for immediate help. And Regina honestly hoped that the girl wasn't going to try anything that advanced on her own at this point in her years of academics. Quinn still had much to learn, and experimenting with spells did have its risks.

Her face remained neutral though, even as she went on about a spell that Kalen had taught them. Was this the lesson that he had kicked her and Mr. Prichard out of, hmm? Again, she didn't pry into that even though it was concerning. But there was a time and a place for all of that, and right here on the battlements was not it.

"Ahh, yes, that would be a good place to start," the woman concurred.

There was no response given about the mention of the spare office, thinking there would be solitude up at the battlements, and liking space sometimes. All Regina could do was nod her head in understanding. Plus there really wasn't much of an opportunity to weigh in on that as the Ravenclaw was asking her about her own years at school.

"I rather enjoyed my time at school, at Ilvermorny," she stated truthfully with a nod. "I was sorted into Horned Serpent, did exceptionally well in my studies, and learned early on that I had a passion for curse-breaking."

Rylee smiled brightly at just seeing his smile alone and she hadn't even heard him agree with her yet. "Awesome! If our housemates don't want to play, I say we round up all of our friends and get them up here to play with us!" That would work just as well. They could play tag. Hide and Seek. Talk and eat snacks. It would be a great time. "Exactly, we would learn how to pay attention too, be focused, quick." See they both were in the same mindset with this.

She nodded. "It is." Home away from home. At first it was an adjustment but this being her second year it hadn't been to hard to slip back into the way things were the year before. As long as she kept busy she was fine. "If you're interested in learning about that stuff you can check out the library there's tons of books in there about the battles I'm sure." Or he could just wait to be taught about in during lessons. Rylee grinned back at him. "Nice to officially meet you then, Ed."

She simply nodded as Professor Hawthorne confirmed that was a good place to start, and continued to study the woman. She was much like Quinn in ways. Silent, and watchful; letting her eyes figure out another person than her words, all the while remaining unreadable when they wanted to be. At least that was Quinn's interpretation of the Headmistress. Unreadable certainly fit her a lot. It made Quinn keep returning to the Headmistress and study her, as she tried to figure the woman out more and get a better understanding of who she was working with...

Wait.... "Ilvermorny has houses too?" She'd always thought that was a Hogwarts thing solely. "Are they like the houses here? Is Horned Serpent like Slytherin?" She finished packing her things and slung her bag over her shoulder, because even with her many layers, the cold was starting to seep through. And it was about time to start heading down to dinner. She'd make a quick stop to the Ravenclaw tower first to remove excess layers and drop her bag in her dorm before heading down to the Great Hall.

The silence was definitely noted by now. But, of course, the headmistress remained neutral as ever. It was a skill she had mastered quite well, after many years of teaching. She wasn't an easy one to crack to say the least.

A smile appeared on her lips when the Ravenclaw started asking about Ilvermorny. "Yes, Ilvermorny has Houses. There are actually a few similarities, considering one of its founders knew much of Hogwarts. But there are, of course, many differences."

"No, dear, Horned Serpent, in spite of the snake being the Houses' animal, is not like Slytherin. Hogwarts Houses are based more on personality, whereas the Houses at Ilvermorny go a bit deeper than that. For instance, Slytherin is for those who are cunning, whereas Horned Serpent is considered to represent the mind of a witch or wizard. A direct correlation between the schools' Houses isn't an easy one to make, but it could be argued that Horned Serpent is similar to Ravenclaw in a way."

Seeing the girl putting the bag over her shoulder and the sun in the distance, the headmistress then asked, "Should we continue this conversation another time? In my office, perhaps? It is getting a bit chilly out here, and supper won't be staying warm forever, you know."
