Author: Lissane Krauss
Subject: Matters of high importance...

Students chatter amongst themselves in an excited way, the buzz of their conversations droning across the magnificently ornate Gatherplace. However, their voices hush with a healthy respect for the Headmaster as she approaches the podium in a noble manner. The forest green eyed, revered woman clears her throat to captivate the attention of the ornerous adolescents congregated for the announcement. Although she is a lenient lady, her stare is stern as she gazes at the striplings filling the commodious room. After the crowds are amply silent, she begins her screed solemnly. "Welcome. As all of you know, we have invited the former students of Hogwarts to be enrolled at Skiztoln for safety purposes. These children have been through very much and are admirable for their way of getting through the tragedy that closed Hogwarts down. I ask you not to bring up up the subject of the school they used to attend or any other upsetting matter. The ceremony will now continue. Thank you."

The students from Britain dutifully enter, awaiting the announcement of which house they have been placed in. Polite applause ensues from the crowd and the staff, and the aging, accomplished woman smiles slightly. She had been close with Minerva, and the moment of announcing the childrens' new places in the school body was bittersweet. Her weathered, darkly tanned skin contrasts her silver hair, the black, pointed hat she wears bringing her appearance into harmony. "I will now read the results. Afterward, newly sorted students will be furtherly instructed by their Head of Houses."


[OOC: This is the point where posts from all nonbook characters go. I'm giving only a couple days for introduction of them, and then the sortings will be announced and we can dive into the plots of the game and get everything started.]

[> Mere imagery -- Kern Adouv, 21:12:14 03/23/02 Sat

> >color=6699CC>Slinky fatale leaned weary form against a wall heavily, dark eyes roaming over the Hogwarts crowd with indiscriminate apprehension. Gaze pausing over each only for a fraction of a second before moving to the next. Black ooids paused upon those she thought to fit the names given to she; Harry, Ron, Draco and Ginny. O’course their names had merely passed through the infamous grapevine in the school, reaching her ears during the most recent rendezvous with the medical centre and Madam Avalon. Slender digits tucked stray stresses behind an ear before sliding down the opposing arm to her wrists, tracing the white bandages, which had been wrapped there. Teeth were gritted as attention was reverted to fall upon those entering the Gatherplace. Cold eyes fell upon that of the raven-haired from of ‘The Boy Who Lived’ (and lived once again), brows furrowing before returning to a passive expression. Slipped into a near seat, though sliding farther from the group she had stepped near. >color=6699CC>

[> [> dont cry for the clowns...they're here to make us laugh... -- sean terris, 21:51:08 03/23/02 Sat

Curls of raven are brushed back by digits sloppily as black eyes scrutinize the Hogwarts’ students, curiosity exposed in the pits of shade. A serene sigh discharges as he lounges listlessly against his chair, tuning out the majority of possessions as he advances to a deeper altitude of thinking, entirely exhausting his least concentration in the official procedure that the headmistress of Skitzoln presents. Nearly close to dozing, he mentally obliges himself to ‘awaken’, keep his eyes open and at least act as if he’s paying attention. With a smirk he camouflages a yawn under his hand as eyes of masked passion once again examine the new comers with simulated awareness.

[> [> [> Coldness Spreads.. -- Cho Chang, 11:08:33 03/24/02 Sun

Chinese-descended female sullenly proceeds in the line which mobilizes before her, raven locks plummet carelessly over feminine shoulders in doing so. Circular face posessing melancholy and coldness to all who endure a steady stare upon the other Hogwarts students and herself as teen's feet plunge resentlessly, giving forth a barely audible tap, tap, tap 'gainst the floor. Female glances around the faces, all showing different emotions towards the comers from Britain..

Dark eyes sting, youth downcasting reluctant gaze to the floor, remembering the many friends, popularity, and so much more that had went down with Hogwarts.. Especially Cedric. That name still brought tears to her eyes for she never told him how much she cared for him before he went into that labyrinth of towering hedges, but that was before Hogwarts had.. No, her thoughts shan't hover on it any longer! A now determined gaze lifts from the cold floors. Somehow, this would work..

[> [> [> [> * a world of false reality * -- * lee * jordan *, 14:46:18 03/24/02 Sun

Mocha-tinged male falls in step behind petite femme of asian heritage. Dark oculi pass over the sea of faces. No familiars. No welcomes. Of course there wouldn't be any familiar, comforting faces. All he knew were following in the queu. And, of course, no welcomes. They were immagrants, invading upon the terrain of these americans. He was not wanted. But he was here. Why? Because a chain of events had destroyed all he had known. All he had loved. All he was. Now, life passed by like a picture movie. He was a mere viewer. Unaffected by the going ons in the movie. Right? No. Before him was not a preview, not a well-rehearsed script. 'Twas no play. 'Twas real. It was happening. And it did affect him. Everything that happened affected him. He simply did not care. Another gaze is cast over the mass of new figures. Why was it that he had survived, when others had not. When one of his best friends hadn't. He was torn with the loss and betrayal now present in his every waking moment. But, the world did not care. Nor did he care for the world. He would watch out for himself. Thats all there was too it.

[> [> [> [> [> Reluctance is the Key.. -- Cho Chang, 15:13:50 03/24/02 Sun

A reluctant smile is passed to Lee as head turns to find male behind herself. Remembering how happy Lee used to be back at Hogwarts, remembering the excitement in his voice every time he spoke through the microphone at the quidditch games and how sometimes Professor McGonagall would get angry at him for sometimes cursing at Slytherin for cheating whenever they did..

Gaze is then downcast, poised head turned ahead of her. Asian-descendant then waiting for what was to happen, unsure of what lay ahead at this new school..

[> [> [> [> [> [> the key to what? -- Lee Jordan, 18:05:28 03/24/02 Sun

Small smile is returned to the pretty girl in front. Indeed, he remembered the days when he was carefree, when he could laugh. Though they seemed just like foggy memories, from another lifetime. He recalled as well, Cho's once vivacious and spicy spirit, the big grin she would easily pass to those around her. The way she used to glow. The center of attention. Now, it seemed as though some of her spirit had been left in Britain, her glow had been decreased.

However, just by her smile, he could feel a little warmth return to his body. At least some kindness was shown. Not everyone he had known had been left behind. He still did have a few..

The slight smile that she had passed only moments before was the first in months, but olive skin-toned female knew better things might come within time. Light weight is shifted uncomfortably, looking at the new headmaster with dark, perplexed eyes, a slender finger twisting around a few, raven strands. Adolescent looks at all the other previous Hogwarts students, a glance given to each to reassure them, especially herself..

Knowing she was to be placed into a new house, a slight frown teases at her lips, but she manages to keep a very small smile hinting on her rounded face. A slight longing fills her heart as she waits, remembering her old house, Ravenclaw..

[> [> Something like human
-- Pandora Fallon, 12:32:33 03/26/02 Tue

She had roused from lethargic sleep to attend this condemnable ceremony that no one had shut their traps about since it had been announced. The effect of the total darkness of her dormitory and the slowly encroaching dawn had been potent on her arousal from where she her place of nightly retirement. The bed had seemed to have swallowed her slight form and engulf it and she was most reluctant to leave the comfort it bestowed in abundance. She had been physically warm, for she could never be emotionally warm. Even lukewarm. Nonetheless, she had eventually risen with much protest from her barely awakened, tired body. After all preliminary hygenics were diligently completed, she was now merely adding 'finishing touches' to her distinct poise. Presently, her diffident stare gawks with naturally wide eyed wonder into the her dormitory mirror, her reflection staring stonily back at her and looking incredibly glum. The delicate rose of a girl, so indifferent and pain strikingly beauitiful, heaves a melodramatic sigh. A dainty hand extends in impatient exasperation to grapple for an elite diamond clad hair clip while her atmospheric hued eyes still gape coldly at the stoic girl in the mirror. Her silken, dark chocolate hued tresses are taken with expedite into slender digits, and the trite routine in which her straight hair is flipped into an intricate French twist; her signature coiffure, ensues. The staid femme fatale gives herself an arrestive glance in the mirror as if in mocking all the rest of her gender and she simpers her galvanic smirk before flipping the lights off and striding into the dormitory in all her pristine, timeless splendor. She perfects the art of classical finesse with unlabored polish and ease.

I'll go ahead and get this tedious ordeal over with, sighs her less than chipper mind dramatically as she descends the winding staircase; her destination: the Gatherplace. She particularly has an odious distaste for that specified district because the announcements she had been unjustly required to attend did and continue to do nothing but corrosively waste her time and energy. She vapidly contemplates the bleak vissicitudes of life as she peers blankly with unnerving, violet eyes at the masonry and tapestries of the ornate and divine corridors. Such a insouciant, ungrateful wretch she is. She'd probably go to Hell, if such a place exsisted, when she died. Death was a subject that enamored the snide female, especially such themes as a premature burial. What suffering it would cause for one to die such a horrendous death. At least they'd have time to remember what it was like to live. She smiles with inappropriate amusement as these thoughts cross her sinful, eternally irresolute mind. Hell, the impassive wanton reasons, everything you do to avoid death is just a procrastination. And so, Pandora Fallon, cynical and prepared with dragnet, ala twisted Aphrodite, mentally discordantly makes her graceful and leisurely way to the aggrandized ceremony.

Hogwarts. Hogwarts. Hogwarts. It's all anyone had gossiped about in their shallow ways for weeks. It has begun to get a bit pablum in the angsty adolescent's complicated, sometimes morbid mind. Long ago, she had committed social suicide, and she had no intent of resurrecting herself. Of course, she was renowned for her admirable genes, and she attended opulent banquets with her family which she could care less about it (except for her brother), but she was never outgoing. She was the firstborn Fallon in the new generation, hence her eminence in Oregon's wizarding society. If she had been of worthless muggle heritage, she would be a social zero. Ironically, she is very slightly intrigued in a way, with false hope. She, being impersonable and insufferable to the world, holds the slightest ray of withering prospect that there will be someone 'like her' arriving. The chance is slim for such an irrational and quixotic wish. Her nearly extinct enthusiasm mixed with pessimism for the oncoming ceremony has sparked resentment towards the milestone of introducing students from overseas into their less than humble abode.

With mien of regal dame, the female with a certain inpalpable elegance beyond the reach of the arts sweeps swiftly and clearly into the coveted for others and loathed for herself Gatherplace. The location where so many boring speeches and pointless screeds have occured monotonously. Not a bouncy or buoyant gait does this ineffably exquisite muliebral behold; such sophisticated background and semblance does not allow for such mockery for the Fallon name. No, the peacocking youth... damsel, perhaps... has a fluent, flowing, and naturally nonchalant gait only possessed by a veritable aristocrat. With great apathy, her cerulean optics ferret out the newcomers in unhurried languor. Her trademark, beguiling smirk flickers over her pale peach lips and she reclines oh so deliberately casually against the nearest wall, with a clear cut "holier than thou" look on her rawly attractive face. Her defined collar bones displayed by a tastefully adorned, ebony shirt with sleeves that billow at her fragile wrists. Black pants, of a near polyseter material, (not jeans, of course, for she is much too prominent in society for such an disgraceful first impression upon those arriving), that have been magicked to fit her delectably, rest upon her hips. All of this gives her a decisively female appearance. Such a cherubic looking female... surely she must have fallen from above. And fallen right through the ground and emerged again, snipes her magnanimous and mazy mind. An impeccable style she does possess, and fast acting wit as well. She's never impulsive, though. Acting now then thinking later is the lifestyle of a frivolous fool who would probably die in poverty, as history had proved time and time again.

Hmmm. Wonder how many of them I can corrupt, is one of the most novel thoughts in the youthen individual's constantly reeling mind as she jauntily contemplates the British crowd. She stands... and stares... unnerving and unwaveringly, as if sizing them up but without purpose or evident motive... perhaps out of mere boredom. The cynical vixen rolls densely lashed oculars and trails a hand delicately across the bronze skin around her elevated collar bones. Everytime her elongated lashes make contact with the creamy, incredibly soft skin beneath her eyes as she blinks, they cast dim and gray shadows allectively across her pallid visage. Although, one cannot seperate their presence from that of the dark circles beneath her eyes. She's full of blank faced, colorless beauty and glamour. Underneath it all, just beneath the surface, she's remarkably different from the others. Even if her true colors and loyalties are dark, they're unique shades. She stands and stares.

Standing akimbo, with frail hands on her hips and elbows set at right angles, her body language screams that she wants to get this epically torturous ordeal over with. The enigma that is Pandora Fallon can be a thorn in one's side, or a thorn about to go into one's side. Haughtily, she yawns in an exaggerated way but has the etiquette (dwelled into her mind by her patriarch and matriarch) to faintly cover her mouth as she does so. The vextatious girl refrains from speaking a bitingly caustic remark on the incompetence of the staff to move things along and accomplish the required; for the unspoken word never does harm. Except in the instance of "I love you too," retorts her aberrant conscience... or lack thereof. Yet, the inclementless girl would not know about love. She, as many others, had recited rumors to memory of what the meaningless (at least to her) word meant. It held no dominance in her. Potent is the effect of irony upon a soul permanently immersed in the abyssal depths of despair. She aches in ways she desperately wants to ignore. She wants to feel true apprecipation and perhaps even empathy about her endless tribulations from a mere companion compatible with her execrable personality. For now, she ascertains that her only friend... no, ally, rather... is herself. She doesn't know if she wants it that way or not. I have no mouth but I must scream. This about summarizes her indignance with the world and humanity and her plight in general. For now. For tomorrow. For forever. Solitary exsistence. A superior look plastered on lovely, alabastor characteristics, her face offers no indication of her conflicting emotion. Empty, lazuline eyes, depthless in their imbibing of her ambiance, study the crowd disdainfully, but she really isn't seeing. Or is she? No one, surely, can tell with such an unpredictable and patronizing person. And so, she stares... what's going on behind those sapphire oculars? No one knows except the coolly staid beholder of the forlorning windows to the soul. Better to be alone than in bad company. Such a cliche, dearest darling. Do free your mind of such hackneyed quotes. The same massive, inwardly suffocated sigh that's she's emitted many times over during this day is exhaled spiritlessly, and she suddenly falls motionless except for the barely detectable rise and fall motion of her torso and the occasional blinking of her light eyes. Standing and staring. I have no mouth but I must scream.

[> -There Is More To Fear Than Fear Itself- -- Ron Weasley, 18:29:58 03/25/02 Mon

-Silent had the male been upon learning the truth, but restless yet was his gaze. With sullen curiousity the youth peers upon those who greeted the British. Those who came to watch the American equivalent of a Sorting Ceremony-

"You might belong in Gryffindor

Where dwell the brave at heart

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart"

Ah, another Weasley. What are you, the sixth? And one more to go after this. Oh, you don't like to be referred to as the sixth, eh? Don't get used to it boy, or you'll never be anything but just another Weasley. Don't let them refer to you as another one. There are great things in store for you, but only if you are more than just "another one". In any case, for this moment you must be yet another Weasley to become...GRYFFINDOR!


-The youth would never be anything but a Gryffindor in his book. Just like Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, and Ginny-

-Where was Fred again? There was that nagging feeling there, like he should know, like someone had told him only moments before of the prankster. But her couldn't remember-

-He stumbled a bit on the pavement, his heart thumping wildly in his chest. It was still weak, as Ron's faulty memory recalled. Buried alive. That was a horror he never wanted to go through again. But because of that ordeal, he wasn't just "another one" anymore-

-The second Boy Who Lived. The Boy Who Lived and The Boy Who Also Lived, best friends. How utterly ironic. But it didn't quite fit. Maybe he was Dead Man Walking-

[> [> Present the Fear
-- Kern Adouv, 19:19:25 03/25/02 Mon

size=1>Gaze was caught by the slight stumble, causing femme to revert attention to the copper headed youth. Features softened as she studied the youth and his peers, and one slight appendage was raised in some sort of awkward wave, hoping to calm their spirits the slightest and to ease the tension that had formed in the air.


[ Edit | View ]

[> [> [> -Fear Hinders More Than Death- -- Ron Weasley, 15:32:01 03/26/02 Tue

-The gesture is noticed and the youth pauses in his progress, emotionless orbs scrutinizing the femme. A curt nod finally becomes his acknowledgement of the wave, though no more occurs. A smile required far, far too much happiness than the boy had. Happiness that he felt that would never be had again, so devasting was the emotional damage-

-There was a gaping hole where his heart was. It felt as if it was physically there, but the pain was all in his mind. He couldn't bring himself to feel anything more than fear and pain, no matter the willpower-

-Stumbling yet again, victim of poor health, the young man doubles over momentarily, deep, wracking coughs issuing forth from pinched face. A hand reaches out to the wall to steady himself as his frame is straightened and iris flickers to the stable structure-

-The walls! So close, so close, they were closing in on him, he couldn't breathe! No, God no, don't do this to me, I don't deserve it, I'm not dead, please, nonononononono!-

-He snatches his appendage from the wall as if burned, staring at the blank surface in horror and fear. For half an instant only terror is clear in mahogany eyes and then, with an obvious act of willpower, it too is gone, as if he had never beheld the wall-

[> [> [> [> Takeoffs and landings
-- Raine Whetherford
, 18:36:23 03/26/02 Tue

A petite adolescent anxiously shifted amongst a gaggle of the familiars of her house, most of their number reserved to the Kilborg district in the place of congregation. Despite being among confidants of perdurable years, the golden tressed female is ill at ease. Perhaps it is the advent of the novel students from across the unpredictable Atlantic that has mildly intimidated her to the point of apprehension perturbing her easily shaken nerves. She askancely flicks her turquoise optics to the ingressing crowd of deflated spirits, their dolor causing compassion for their plight to spark within her benign being. She never had to endure such a paralyzingly painful situation, although sometimes she ponders if she wishes she would have, as she believes that anguish will ripen to wisdom when time heals the open wounds. Nonetheless, she seats herself at the table before her, crossing her arms upon its wooden surface and angling her head to rest in the crook of her right elbow. From this sideways aspect, she piteously contemplates each face as they emerge into her line of vision. Riveted to the headmaster's announcements of which houses the grief afflicted strangers will be assigned to, the lithe and slender figure's forest hued eyes ping pong with a cleverly hidden, thrilled charge. Her image, soft to the eye, is slightly obscured by a few who are standing upright in front of her, and she makes an effort to be able to imbibe the newcomers with her teal oculus. This calls for for an ascendment of her caramel colored apex to stretch in upraisal so she can study the new additions to their school. Imaginably, by chance, she can meet some mere aquaintances and maybe more. Healthily full and pink toned lambrums adorn a barely discernable simper. Maybe...

[> At your feet... -- Magnolia Fairchild, 22:10:56 03/27/02 Wed

Petite femme pauses outside the massive doors to the great room. Was she honestly ready to come here? She would be so far behind the rest of her class. Damn those parents of hers. Takes a large inhalation and straightens hair. What are you doing? Has never cared what others think about her. She had never been entirely normal, a hardcore anticonformist. Palm presses against the ornately detailed mahogony doors and ingresses the immense hall. Dazzled by the whimsical surroundings and studious appearing pupils, she is taken aback, pausing to gape at the scenery laid before her.


Slender vixen stands out, startlingly unique from each and every apprentice present. Dark auburn locks resemble black in the dim entrance. Hair is sheared at a midway point between broad shoulders and chin. Is parted in sloppy manner, though is kept immaculately tangle free. Dark purple streaks run through tresses, looking as if professionally done. Features are slender, yet well proportioned. Pallete is tanned to perfection, violet eyes radiate with splendor from the dark frame of lashes. Lips are flushed, though they are concealed by a uniform layer of, obviously, purple lipstick. A splash of freckles line cheekbones, though they are rare. Black tank top made of spandex like material conceals torso, though not for long. Halts a little below ribcage, revealing lightly muscled stomach. Is large chested for her age, though obviously does not care to flaunt it. Hanging upon hips are a pair of loose cargo pants, though they infringe upon the title of 'hip hugger', for they sink hazardously low. Shoes are not evident. Is rather pretty, not dashingly, but not hideous. Mostly turns off others by her standoff personality and her rather bold terms of exterior presentation.


Feels eyes turn upon her, though not many. Good way to start out...a tiny, insignifigant speck. Perfect. Raises her chin up and steps to an empty table. Unhooks chique messanger bag and adjusts the straps of tank. Slips out a book from her back, a weathered old copy, looking as if picked off the streets...or maybe from some unsuspecting peer on the way over. Slender digits, decorated with...consonant purple decal, brush back a few stray fibers of hair. Opens the book and turns a leathery page softly. Sits with perfect posture, legs lightly tilted and together. Blows softly, strands slowly slipping from their previous resting place behind lobe. Reaches back into pack, pulling out a set of head phones. The initials JS decorate the exterior. Pulls a permanent pen from pocket and scratches them out. Proudly replaces the pair with another, 'MF'. Slips the instrument back into pocket and activiates the diskman. Slips on the phones and slips off into a stupor..lost in her own little world.

[> [> Comedic relief
-- Adrian Smallwood, 13:52:05 03/28/02 Thu

As silence ensues after the revered matriarch of the school pauses to gather the sorting annotations, an impish specimen stands outside the door with a spry grin playing across his suave, tanned face. This would be a intangibly valuable entrance to recite to his memory. He knew the consequence of his mischievous antic would be daunting, but it didn't matter at the particular time. He hadn't felt like getting out of his comfortable bed yet, and therefore, he didn't. He lives by his own accord. However, at this time, it was now or never. The virile figure smoothly eases one of the large doors open that lead into the classically furnished Gatherplace, honey brown oculus sweeping over the crowds and lingering over the finer females. The jaunty male has a swaggering but not overly dramatically so gait, filled with abundant self assurance and nonchalant confidence. The socially ept, delectable swain seats himself directly in front of the dominatrix of the school, tilting his chin up arrogantly to her in a gesture of greeting. A slow, simpering grin, trademark of his gambol, appears upon his full, peach shaded lips. Clearly a peeve for any respected adult, he regards her by her first name, a definite "no-no" that he's gotten away with time and time again. "'sup, Lissane?" His ridiculously relaxed, slouching posture, and goofy, irresistible smile earns him a few giggles that he relishes in. This position and grinning lips have proven to his advantage in scenarios such as this since his first year at this academy, and the Headmistress has always had a bit of a tough time not returning his playfully risky facial expressions and smiles. He quirks a finely tuned, russet brow follows suit by making a few cleverly unconventional comical countenances.

An aging, crusty and cynicial individual, known as Owen Caudwell, sitting solemnly at the staff table, grimaces noticably at his kin's absurd capers. He held himself personally responsible for the larkish boy's disregard for discipline. Truth be told, it is partially his fault for his grandson's ill conformity to rules and regulations. Speaking of, the charismatic maverick is now steadily contemplating his legal guardian with unpredictable words forming on the tip of his tongue. "What, gramps?" The elder gives an admonishing look to the uncontrollable boy, opting not to make a scene in front of the new students. He is highly miffed that the teen has the audacity to give the impression of the school being so unstern and unorganized by his reckless shenanigans. The prankster adolescent brings a hand behind his umber haired head and seems to be fidgeting with one of his stylishly short, dark brown spikes. Much to the delight of his housemates who snicker into the hands, it can be revealed by standing behind the devilish youth that he's promptly flicked off his grandfather. The amusement of those of the house Riskangt raises some suspicion but it is ultimately dismissed. The bronze skinned gamin, healthily colored in that specified way from days beneath the sun's merciful warmth, has set out to and has made the exact first impression he wanted.

[> [> [> Incinerate -- Kern Adouv, 14:18:53 03/28/02 Thu

Slender femme shook slightly as labrums were pressed in a thin line to keep a soft laugh from forming. Dark gaze twinkled for a moment before in the mere blink of an eye the laughing shimmer had disappeared. Appendages were crossed over belly as she leaned back in her chair, hoping to calm to tightness in her muscles from concealing the mirth.

[> [> [> [> Life is stupid... -- Magnolia Fairchild, 19:25:19 03/28/02 Thu

Detecting a ripple of bemusement throughout the small crowd, violet optics tilt up from her piece of literature. Watches the happenings with expressionless features. Palette slowly swaggers back and forth in disapproval. Obviously the youth didn't fully appreciate the honor it was to attend the acadamy like she did. Exasperated exhalation is evident as crystalline plums gyrate within sockets. Makes a point of turning up the volume on headphones drastically. Was never one to change things with her words, but with actions. As a number of pupils turn to glare at her suggestively, she motions to the cause of this elevation, Adrian. Allows them to deal with the problem themselves. Slender digits brush back a few stray locks before she returns to her literary stupor.

[> [> [> [> sometimes it feels like i'm dreaming when i'm really awake.. -- ginny weasley, 19:42:41 03/28/02 Thu

Hazel eyes devoid of emotion scrutinize the gathered congregation in a contemplating hush, no 'illustration' flitting across her ashen facade. A placid sigh makes it way through burgundy tinged lips as she turns to consider her own classmates, not able to encourage her lips to alter into a smile no matter how hard she tries. They just wouldn't unmold themselves from the gloomy frown that they seemed to be casted into. Such unhappiness and morose judgment of the youth is a bizarre change from her once happy-go-lucky outlook and it almost upsets her. As she has so many times before in Hogwarts, the girl's attention drifts away from any formalities and into the past. The past, when everybody was packed with blameless glee, so untroubled about the future. What came in the future was the death of one of their own, the massacre of so many people that it made the adolescent girl's belly rock to one side and then the other, generating queasiness. But most of all, it originated her hurt. Pain so immense that she wasn't sure what it felt like not to feel the steady throbbing and listen to the eternal howls of her devastated heart. Her emotions, already so disordered because of the altering in her treasonous body, even more so guide her to determine that she possesses no reason, no place in life. It was like she was blissful one moment and ready to detonate the next…that is, until the unrestrained grief. Mentally, she has begun to name this time of mourning and sadness as 'the dark days', days when she could see no luminosity even when she stared unswervingly at the sun, days when she felt that she had achieved little or nothing when day descended into the night. When the mumbling of the students expanded and an animated other entered the ritual belatedly, she forces herself to abandon her 'asylum' of anguish, her eyes, once not really seeing what she gazed upon, now perch upon the outline of a dark brown tressed male that brings back callous recollections of Fred and George in the past. Tears sting pitilessly at the back of her eyeballs and she lowers her eyes as though she feels a current of panic, but it is actually to prevent others from perceiving the suddenly aching impression all around her. Self-discipline rapidly takes over, chasing away the pain temporarily so she may get an improved look at the masculine and how the rest of humanity responds. At any other circumstance, the female would have unquestionably laughed in shameless delight and approached him if only to learn his name, but everything is different when the sun declines to sparkle.

^Pale verdigris iris track the entrance of Adrian, a small smile forming on lips as the show is performed. As the performance concludes, his gaze turns to the despondent Hogwarts bunch, obviously the worse for wear^

Looks like something the cat dragged in.

^As the now dark green orbs flit from gaunt face to gaunt face, slender frame tips the chair in which the youth resides back, boots casually reasting on the table. Never a believer in rules, it was obvious that he conformed to no one's ideals. Long chestnut hair was pulled into a tail at the nape of his neck and a griffen's claw dangled from his right earlobe, a play upon the young man's name. An oak wand was twirled lazily around in elongated digits as his gaze was once again shifted to the troublemaker, though no worse, perhaps, than himself^

"Mutare pink"

^With slow, but sure certainty, the hair of the comedian begins to turn a neon pink, courtesy of the thief. A small smirk finds it's way to the reclining male's face and almost electric jade eyes stare unfaltering into those of Adrian Smallwood^

As the newcomer ingresses, vixen slips one of the headphones from lobe. He had a look to him...not like the first. Manifestation flickers through conciousness. This could get interesting... Watches the wand flicker through the air. A flash of envy sends a flair of emerald through orbs before it vanishes quickly. Just be glad you're here... Violet oculi follow the motions of each. Sees the rose hues slowly work their way into the tresses of the previous comedic and a flicker of mirth flashes through femme. A coy smirk slowly tugs at the edge of plum painted lips. It quickly disappears as she concentrates at the incantation. Swiftly bends, reaching into pack. Pulls out a notebook and plain ballpoint pen. Flips to a page and scrawls phonetically in flower handwriting the incantation spoken. Has no wand or books or experience to learn from, so might as well take notes. Flips the page, finding the masculine, Griffon, quite a character. Pen moves in graceful strokes up and down the lined page. Product is a rough sketch in ink of the masculine. Is quite good, though one wouldn't guess. A passerby attempts to view the image and the notebook is swiftly slammed shut, concealing the contents from the prying eyes. Acid glare is shot at the peer and shoves the book into bag. Sighs, reapplying ear phones, and engulfing herself in the book.

[> [> [> [> [> All in good humor
-- Adrian Smallwood
, 07:50:29 03/29/02 Fri

The corybantic youth's amber optics roam over those whose eyes he feels upon him in a leisurely way, delighting in the attention he receives. He had eternally been of rather needy type, perhaps since he had been deprived of the simple affection that a functional family unit offers boundlessly. He craved the spotlight and even the embaressment that sometimes came along with it, because he always managed to twist any humiliation around with good natured humor. His sepia eyes flit elusively over his peers, catching an auburn tressed gamine's gaze (Ginny) from overseas and contemplating her silently for a few moments and noting her pulchritude. All of the gaunt students from their mother country seemed cadavarous and almost deflating to view. The impish stripling's copper oculars soon abandon the British congregation with mild reluctance, and instead flicker towards the darkly clad female (Magnolia) with disappointment that she chose not to realize that most of his shenanigans are a facade to protect him from pain. He deduces that one who judges another so quickly upon the airs they perform needs not his recognition, therefore he disregards the biased premadona. His trivial peer befalls a slender, rationally unstable character, who usually resides in the shadows: Kern. Pleased to no end that he has nearly summoned a voicement of amusement from her, he offers a gamboling grin to her in a rare act of philanthropy on his part.

He espies his longtime accomplice in criminal activities, Griffin, as his quizzical peer roams. Familiar with every incantation that involved mischief, he was indignantly aware of the metamorphosis his carefully styled coiffure is enduring. Highly miffed but not willing it to educe in front of the entire school assembly, his silky, suave nature eased into play in unhurried languor. If he will have pink hair, so will his companion. A mahogany wand, an aid to his tomfoolery, is haughtily withdrawn from his baggy jeans' pocket. Reflecting the wiry confidant's intricate twirlings, as if with a baton, around his fingers, the lissom, resilient male of allecting demeanor and semblance leans backward and pronounces the same spell the thief did behind him. The same gradual turning from his natural hair color to pink transpires, and during the process, the now brightly apexed boy spectates with blatant amusal playing on his attractive, rugged appealing visage. "I'm prettier in pink than you, Griffin." He chimes this statement in a chipper way, a satisfied smirk spreading over his allecting, tanned face. "Now we're even."

Lips were bit to further halt any audible sign of mirth. Digits tapped the opposing arm in an attempt to look bored. At the transformation from the forest hues to neon pink, slight appendage was raised to cover mouth. Bitten lips curled slightly but were smoothered easily as hand dropped back to lay over her torso. Dark eyes roamed from the mascul', Adrian, to the opposer, Griffon. Gaze reverted itself as to help with the fight of containing amusement, falling upon the form of Owen Caudwell. Amusement would only be fed by the annoyance evident on the old man's face, and so line of vision was dropped to that of somewhere between floor and table across from her.

Catches the acid look of the opposing comedic. Knows all too well the glance he shares, has seen it once too often. Though a pang of pity shoots through figure, she feels a childish need to fire back. Retorts smoothly and calmly, nonchalant. Lilac lips move rythmically as the liquid voice seeps from the cavity. Is so softspoken that the surrounding pupils seem to lean in to hear the words the ooze from female.

'Ouch, that hurt. I'm so not going to the prom with you...'

Delighted with the snickers that follow from those who heard her, she slips her headphones back on. Her work here is done. Knows inevitably a retort is coming, but in order to do so, he would have to become her savior from her inexorable stupor..and thus make a scene. This should be rich.

Olive skin-toned features transform from determined to hardened and emotionless. Her angry thoughts of these pathetic so-called young "men" and "women", that were acting as immature as possible, postponing and curling up into mere wisps in the back of her mind.. Silky, black strands plummeting past her feminine-shaped shoulders as asian youth's hard gaze slithers to the headmistress.

Because of her school robe, it is quite hard to tell what she looks like underneath, but by the looks of her face, she was most likely slender, not thin, but curved in all the right places and normally shaped. Slender digits pushing a few stray strands away from her asian-descended, dark eyes.

Eyes of contemplating personality whisk around the Gatherplace in an engrossed routine, glee palpable upon facial appearance of the indisputably gorgeous he at the scene of Adrian and Griffin’s pink hair…ah, don’t they look beautiful? Not aiming to disguise the hilarity of this circumstance he tolerates a chuckle to escape, his dark tones luminous with pleasure at the duo’s tricks. Of course, the dismal make up of the Hogwarts ‘clan’ is once more observed, frown now marring the expression of the masculine. How dreadfully miserable they appeared, and some seemed disgruntled with the troublemakers’ ways of diversion. Continuously changing countenance now takes on that of a mystified conclusion, inquiring the somnolent looking voyagers with his eyes for several moments before once more returning his eyes to that of his recognizable companions, skull leaning a fragment to one side. Redundant shrug is provided and he returns to scrutinizing Adrian and Griffin, his eyes alert for revenge from any side.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Completely incomplete -- Harry Potter, 11:34:55 03/29/02 Fri

Something's missing. Someone, rather. The devestation it causes when all the comforting lies one tells themself all fall apart in a display of epic misfortune, the sheer overwhelming inward anguish of loss, has corroded the angsty male's logic to the point of irrationality. The lies hurt more than the truth. The lethargic loner's deaden emerald orbs have failed to retain their brilliant luster upon this ethereal eve of unspeakable pain. A churning feeling in the pits of his disheveledstomach tell of an unpleasant night to follow this wretched ceremony, one with sickness and with tasteless tears. Nothing had taste anymore to him. Someone did have taste. One he craved. Needed, even. But they were gone. Life didn't have a purpose without the one that he had stared at, enamored like a toddler with a rare and precious trinket. Life didn't mean anything without the cherished constant. It just did not matter anymore. Without her, half of him was irreplacably missing. The dovetail that formed the Boy Who Lived was feckless without its other half. Language failed to describe his ineffable sense of despondent ruin. He begins just barely tremoring, abruptly feeling oddly cold when the room is of such a moderate temperature. He distinctly resembled a dog struck too many times.

A mere ghost of what he once was, the disconcerted vagabond wanders aimlessly behind Ron, not seeming to notice anything around him; seeing, but not comprehending. He gawks about with peridot flecked, jade eyes, appearing as lost and confused as he must have the ill fated, sable vested night of his parents' preventable demise. Unconsciously stumbling at sporadic intervals as he treads along, he eventually tumbles, lacking gracile movement, into the crimson crowned confidant in front of him. The velocity in which he collides into the red head is far from enough to result in a catastrophic domino effect or fall - perchance a stagger, but not a fall. However, if only as an excuse, it's enough for the tousel, onyx tressed, wiry and fatigued figure to collapse and land in an animalistic position on his hands and knees. A countenance of veritable, nonplussed bewilderment expresses itself upon his troubled visage. The dark lime colored, orphic and unspeakably empty eyes of the devoid boy seep close and everything, from his aspect, suddenly seems to be in slow motion. He is vacant. There is nothing left. He shudders in abject distress and indignation, slowly clambering to his feet. A thin layer of frigid perspiration very lightly and practically unnoticably lathers his cadaverously blanched skin, and he emits a barely audible whimper as he continues to walk without purpose behind Ron. He felt eerily clamy and reliant on someone who wasn't there. The woe that had betided him bruised him and made him ache like no other pain he'd ever felt before.

[> [> [> ^A Little Laughter Goes A Long Way^
-- Griffon Todd
, 16:21:20 03/29/02 Fri

^For an answer to his fellow prankster, a crooked grin appears upon the male's finely chiseled features. Neon green eyes clash horribly with the pink ponytail and he knows it, but doesn't particularly care. Almost lazily, the thief aims his wand once more and lazily drawls the incantation. The spell however, affects not Adrian, but the Headmistress^

^Having caught the glance his partner in crime had given to the comely redhead from Hogwarts, a smirk now appeared upon his face. He had a feeling that these English kids were a bit prude, or at least more uptight about things such as what Adrian had planned for the redhead. It would probably be good for the kid to have to work at it for once - the jokester always got everything (or rather, everyone) too easily with that face of his^

^Scanning again the English, the youth notes now what he hadn't before. The drawn, tired faces, the stumbles here and there, and worst of all, the eyes devoid of emotion. A crimson haired male and a boy with glasses caught his attention. When the dark haired boy went to his knees, something akin to empathy flared in the streetrat and the smirk fled from his lips. Searching his memory, he found a spell that might bolster physical strength, though not emotional of the green eyed male^

"Donavis"

Eyes instantly flee from the notice of the male dubbed Adrian, mental harassment taking place for tolerating her concentration to lurk on another for so long…yet he and the other had transported such recollections of an earlier period she was endeavoring to memorize. Contemptuous wobble of her skull is provided and her depths of despair once more inspect her familiars, stealing back into the gathering of Hogwartians to evade any additional detection, but Harry’s descent is revealed and a spasm of abrupt culpability is experienced in her heart, but for what explanation is unidentified even to her. Self-will is severely employed to keep her from hastening to his support, conscious that he would scarcely be grateful for such an annoyance. Arms intersect over elevated chest in an effort to defend herself from fiends that survive solely in her mentality, her interest once more exercised upon the floorboards as though disgrace assaults her existing mental condition.

[> -Through the Looking Glass-
-- Ron Weasley
, 17:26:54 03/29/02 Fri

-Watching bemusedly as the sterling silver gradually changes to a neon pink on the crown on the Headmistress, the youth almost forgets his misery. The prank brings back memories of the old days, with Fred and George causing havoc everywhere they went and not caring of the consequences-

"Look, Harry!"

"What is it now?"

"Harry, look at the Slytherin table!"

"Hermione, why would I want to do that?"

"JUST LOOK!"

"Alright, alright"

Ron watched as Harry's jaw dropped upon seeing the hair of every single Slytherin flash in patterns of red and gold.

"Who did that!?!?"

"Gred and Forge, Harry. Who else?"


-Dial turns, scanning the occupants of the Great Ha-...Gatherplace, half expecting to find two familiar and identical redheads. The boy's senses are shocked as they encounter only two brilliant pink crowned males. Cedar orbs stare dumbly for a moment at the one with shorter hair. After a moment, the youth comes to his senses and looks quickly at the floor to hide overly bright eyes-

Fred's really gone, isn't he? Dead. Pushing up daisies. Those two....they're Fred and George...but not. Definitely not. Just like them. Too like them for comfort

[> [> Don't forget it's the distance that can make you feel dead from loneliness
-- Adrian Smallwood, 07:41:43 03/30/02 Sat



The neon pink apexed male swipes a few more casually sporadic, fleeting glances at the bantam and frail looking muliebral from overseas, not being able to evade his intrigue. The itch to ogle simply won't appease his conscience's wishes not to occasionally look over, but when he notices the discomfort her body language vociferates when a human's gaze is upon her, he manages to release the craving to view her. Surprisingly vehemently responsive to her anxiety, a pang of guilt melanged with pity for her pains him inside. Her insecurity makes a part of him ache empathetically; makes feelings of affinity surge through him. The ambrosially embodied noncomformist experiences a potent urge to solace the enrapturingly ravishing girl; perhaps assauge her immense grief. He diverts his mocha colored eyes in a lambenting manner towards Griffon suggestively, catching his gaze and waggling a sable brow with a simper playing across his invitingly sapid, mauve lips. Although he's not transparent to anyone else, the longtime companion could read him like a book. Adrian knew he knew. Despite his feelings of rapport towards the shatterable, vulnerable and enticingly attractive nymphet, his primary masculine thoughts parellel them in degree of want. It's not his fault, either.

He isn't shocked when the gracile headmaster's snowy hair begins turning startlingly pink. If anything, he was expecting Griffon to pull such a dynamically virulent stunt. A haughtily amused smirk pulls at the corners of his divine mouth as he lounges backward and spectates the swift change from silver to roseate in all his leisure, a collective gasp followed by giggles and laughter the sounds that fill his ears from the surprised crowd. How satisfying it was to witness the prudent Headmistress that had served him consequence for his sometimes risque and sometimes morally decadent actions be utterly humiliated and stripped of all her dignity by his closest friend! He throws his pinkened head back and cackles with blatant mirth, indulging in the precious moment and not fretting about the detentions both of them will surely receive for their capering, comical actions. His umber optics seek Griffon's hastily, and upon contact with the other boy's precise line of vision, still laughing, he oscillates his cranium slowly back and forth in approval. So wound up in the moment, he does not view the ebony haired Briton's (Harry) descent to the floor and his ensuing rise, nor the capricious, darkly clad female's retort for his unreadable glance to her (Magnolia). If her peers right beside her could not here her, it was precluded that he could from across the room. He has concluded she has her high horse lodged up her ass. If someone rejects him, the feeling is automatically nuetral. If he is judged, he will disown strangers. In this picture, she is the offending party. Feeling a pair of probing optics upon him, he glances in their direction waywardly and meets the cedar eyes of a vermilion apexed gamin (Ron). His finely tuned brows furrow with quizzical curiousity, but he acquits the matter when the fellow mortal jerks his peer away. Odd, he deems trivially.

[> [> [> smile to hide fear -- Hero Adair, 08:18:03 03/30/02 Sat

Femme entered the Gatherplace at a leisurely pace, frame slipping into a frontal chair near that of the rose tressed jokesters. Hand was drawn through dark tresses, slightly miffed she had missed much of the happenings that her peers were still amused at. Gaze then landed upon the males, causing a slight giggle to erupt from she, easing tense muscles. Hand silenced giggles as it lay over her mouth for a moment before returning to the arms of the chair. Smile remained alighted upon features, brows rising at Adrian, "Pink? I never thought you'd be so bold, Mr. Smallwood."

^Easily catching Adrian's meaning in his actions, the thief shakes his head as if exasperated with his confidant's exploitations. In truth, he finds the con artist's rapid infatuation to be highly amusing, and though he knows the last thing his friend needs is advice on girls, upon seeing her discomfiture and knowing the event in her recent past, the youth can't help but offer a small bit of caution^

"Be careful"

^It comes out no more than a whisper, hardly able to be heard from the distance at which his companion sat, but such was the kinship between the two that he knew Adrian and only Adrian would realize his words and the meaning behind it. Be careful, not for yourself, but for her. She's broken, and the last thing she needs is for you to fix her...and break her yet again. Be careful. Now, he in his turn looks at the crimson crowned femme, studying her but not in a hungry way as Adrian had done, but rather searching. Looking for that inner strength that all humans had. It was there, but it was obviously all that was keping her aloft. His now pale green eyes turn rapidly to an almost black shade, his anger smoldering at the monster that could have done this to so many kids^

Noting the almost eager quality in which his gaze rested upon his sibling and her obvious discomfort, the anger flared in him. A threatening stare is fixed upon the other, broken youth attempting to warn the male off of his sister-

[> [> [> [> better dead then alive.. -- ginny weasley, 10:30:03 03/30/02 Sat

Ginger tresses plummet from shoulders and envelop the girl’s facade, offering her a veil of defense as her gaze resumes inspecting the flooring, her neck ‘domed’ to permit her to get an incredibly unexciting portion of floor to study. Shifting takes place as the unexpectedly self-doubting soul discovers her body being drawn to her nearest sibling, Ron, no genuine motive provided to her inquisitive mind as to why she left her flawlessly boring piece of floor to be close to her brother, except possibly she recognized that he would provider her with a morsel of security when the other familiars could not, she could be a bit nearer to Harry and therefore offer him what diminutive moral support a semi smile could supply, and then just for the sake of being nearer her family that seemed to be bare without Fred’s attendance. Fred. A wrench of sorrow sweeps through her body, obliterating all other emotions, as she seems to just be recalling what happened. He’s gone everlastingly…he thought you…you hate him.’ The reflection sneaks into her mind like a killer shadows it’s victim, except it seems that her very mind is hunting to bring down her emotional side and evolve her into a meager android to do it’s command. Sigh trembles from her lips and she manages to elevate her head to tender Harry what half smile she could persuade upon her visage, and then yet another one at Ron as though she senses she needs to assure close relations that everything would be alright even if she wasn’t positive herself. Once again her gaze takes shelter upon the floor, comforting herself as she evades looking at the mass of human beings…the crowd where the unfamiliar lurks like a tiger ready to ambush the gazelle…in this case, the Hogwartians make up one gazelle, and the crowd one terrifyingly huge tiger.

Dark, almond-shaped chasms are a mere pair of stones 'pon her delicately-sculpted face as asian youth glances at fellow Hogwarts students. Female didn't seem much amused by any of this joking. Usually being a young woman with a sense of humor, these "jokes" were not sustained in her head at the moment. A steady gaze is kept ahead of her, her tall body still standing next to Lee Jordan, though not matching his stature for he was a year older then she. Her glance is frequently passed to the other Britain-inhabitants, fearing that any second, they would all disappear and leave her by herself in this unknown country..

Masculant felt no laughter rising from within as well. 'Twas too dreary a situation to offer big smiles and jeers. Eyes shift from the sea of human flesh back to the young asian femme afore he. A soft sigh. He knew what she was feeling. Utter aloneness. Raises a hand to pass fingers through his thick dreadlocks, cleaning vision's way. For a moment, playfulness flickers in orbs. A digit is extended, and a gentle poke is issued in the side of Cho.

As the poke in her side is felt, at first asian female is surprised, not knowing who it was. Dark eyes shift slightly, seeking the digits of whom playfully poked her.. Her gaze locks with Lee's, seeing the playfulness back in his eyes, sending a spur of reassurance spreading through her. The corners of her lips twitch ever so slightly for a moment, then come into a full-smile, not her usual grins, but it was a smile, and for anyone, that was good enough.

That smile brought back the attractiveness that had grew with her, reminding all of her true self, not just that complex-outer being that was bestowed upon her at dreary times.. As that smile is passed to those eyes of Lee, a faint blush tints her fair cheeks and she turns slightly, black wisps of silky hair hiding her eyes momentarily before digits push them out of her eyes.

So, what house have you been put in?

Dark acid pools seek her's. For some reason, while in her presense, everything seemed a little better. Hope seemed to shine a little brighter. The pain seemed to diminish ever so slightly. Right? No. This couldn't be right. Could it? He was just imagining things..allowing his hormones to take control, he supposed. Any girl could do this to him, couldn't they?

Asian youth tolerating the forward tilting of his head, black silk hanging loosely about her head and shoulders as her faint blush deepens slightly. Digits curling, one outstretched, a return of poking in the side is given to Lee.

A short, yet actual laugh graces the air and her head tilts slightly, finding the laugh a little strange, yet smiling all the same. Her dark eyes dance teasingly, lips smiling, half-parted.. Finding the attention of Lee overwhelming, welcoming it to herself with open arms..

This is soooooooo boring!

He confesses, mock agony filling his voice. Eyes dart around the room, afore returning to the sweet sight before him. Mocha-skinned hand hastily brushes straying dreadlocks out of eyes' way. Never wanting to lose sight of this mortal goddess, though knowing, eventually, it would happen any ways

Digit twirls about a few stray strands of black silk, frowning slightly before releasing it and saying a bit more..

I feel a bit uncomfortable around these..Skiztoln students..

Not meaning for Skiztoln to come out so harsh, her gaze is cast downwards. For a few awkward moments, a silence veils over her, but some how, that veil lifts just slightly to let her look back at him..

Female, quite tolerant, sits. Offers sporadic, tempermental sighs and grunts. Can't they take a hint?! Unable to take the incessant giggles and flirty motions directly behind her, she abrubtly takes actions. Flings off her headphones, the dull sound still resonating from the sockets. Slams palms against the table. Moves herself from the chair, getting into the features of the duo.

'If you don't mind...GET A ROOM! Or at least, take it over there...maybe someone will CARE.'

Sneers viciously. This was not her day. It wasn't honestly their fault. She was jealous of what they seemed to have, even if it was this flirty flicker of hormones. Those of the masculine race tend to overlook her...most like due to her drastic, unique personal appearance. Broods momentarily before seating herself and reapplying headphones. Leafs through the pages of literature, which floated shut in her violent outburst. Find the page and settles back...lost...

Tilts head, thoroughly exhausted with all who interupted her reading. Acid words trickle from plum lips. Violet irises begin to flare with flickers of red.

'They can be happy all they want. Just not by me.'

Content, she moves back to her reading and music. Appears dead to the world. Occasionally brushes back or blows a few strands of deep auburn or lavender locks away from delicate features. Gone...

[> [> [> [> [> An omnious landscape, a never ending calamity. -- Draco Malfoy, 22:22:10 03/30/02 Sat

As clear as the finest painting of dark shades, and as stinging as needles in one's spine, a small scene played itself like a movie through his mind, an 11-year-old future Slytherin seeking advice from his father before boarding the Hogwarts express, which gleamed a fine shade of pretenatural crimson. 'The colour of blood,' the young boy realised.

The father was sleek and towering, his fair hair almost a pastel gold, a silver if you will, framing the elevated features of undeniable aristocracy - or surely what aristocracy looked like in personfication - and its adjoined covering of alabaster that guised itself as earthly flesh; glacial-grey ooids inset themselves on that enchanting visage, and it even seemed to hold its kinsman in a swoon. Mince, lithe, effeminant, an earth-dwelling angel - all those things could've feasibly described Lucius Malfoy, but he, in the end, was none of them. He was not an immortal, no.

But try telling that to an 11-year-old Draco Malfoy, where the Malfoy patriarch may as well have been the sun in his proverbial azure atomsphere, was like trying to reason with a Manticore. Vows were exchanged that day, before his Wizarding education began with that significant train journey, that he would do the family proud and that, in the end, he would be loved no matter the outcome. So, what, now, when those promises were far gone and forgotten, the ones giving them now seperated by life and death?

What now, indeed.

The filtration of bustling chatter floated to the impish, perked audicles of the platinum-blond male, a male that was growing into a carbon-copy of the said father (and there was reason to believe that this was why it hurt to look in a mirror lately), dragging him kicking and screaming back into the present; he was on the threshhold of the seeming Hell that the Americans knew as 'The Gatherplace,' and there was obvious wavering as to whether he wanted to enter. He would be more than content to stay here, blocking entrances and exits of the others, if it meant that he could have life as he knew it back. You see, in the figments and dark recesses of his mind, there was a denial that was all-consuming but deceivingly inviting, like the hearth that he'd always curled by in his father's study, all golden flames and iridescent dancing shadows, and he longed to follow that inner warmth and latch onto it. He seemed frozen to the spot, the tendrils of argent grown out more and brushing the nape of his neck, silken now, and even framing his face as opposed to the usual method, and the cerulescent orbs were as unreadable as always but all the more distant. He was at a loss, stuck in a dilemma.

But, then, there was the conflicting pride that screamed at him not to. It berated, yet it guided, and the more he listened to it, the more it transformed itself into something other than mental superiority above all else. It took on the smooth, caressing drawl and mental image of the deceased patriach, and it soothed. He didn't try to shut the disembodied voice out; for all he knew, it -was- his father from beyond the grave, and he needed it like a being needs water when stranded in the desert, only surrounded by mirroring sands of gold as far as the oculars can perceive.

//So, little dragon, what are you going to do?// it cooed now, subliminally urging.

//I...I don't know, Father. What would you do?// the teen responded, with nothing short of saddened bitterness to his own mental voice.

//I'd be myself. You can do that. You can be that little demanding prat, the insufferable pureblood that lets no barb touch him, can't you?// The answering voice had almost been mocking.

//Yes,// his own voice growled back, reverbrating in his head.

And it seemed, that once more, the voice had guided him without his realising of it, and as in on winged feet, the slender legs shrouded in the cottony matieral of sable trousers began to move him forward, into the noisy area and piercing light.

He paused, however.

//Father?// He tried, again, needing an answer.

This time, the other voice seemed silent, however. Now, he felt more alone than he had in his whole, short life. He didn't bother to mask it just yet.

((OOC: Woo. No, he hasn't gone crazy. He's just compensating with his own loss mentally; yes, that is mental conversation, so none of the characters actually heard it, but if you want, they can notice something...'off'.. about him. ::sniggers:: Can't decide if it's just his mind filling a void or something actually speaking to him.))

[> [> [> [> [> [> Complicated
-- Adrian Smallwood
, 22:45:15 03/30/02 Sat



His resplendent pink, meticulously spiked hair has begun to slowly revert to the natural dark brown tone it was before it had been tampered with. The boy springing from a beclouded, concealed past is secretly relieved that the mirthless prank incantation. It was no suffocated secret that he could be incredibly neurotic about his hair, perhaps since he feels he must appear charmingly toothsome all of the time. A dapper semblance gives him an invulnerable false sense of feeling insubjectible to the savage demons of society. He was more insecure than what one's eye might behold when it befalls him.

He contemplates his naturally chestnut but presently pink tressed companion meaningfully for a split second, although his mind is tangenting towards the words that had effluxed from the other's mouth. Be careful. The purposeful, almost gently admonishing reminder had certainly gotten its message across loud and clear, despite how lowly it had been spoken. The momentary exchange of two words and a glance had been only fully noted and comprehensible to the duo who transpired it. He briefly casts a final parting peer towards the pallor visaged, auburn haired girl that has managed to intrigue him so, detesting the discomfort he may have caused her.

His hazel gaze peregrinates elsewhere, and upon its aimless traveling, connects solidly with that of the sallow skinned stripling (Ron) who somewhat resembles the femme fatale he was captivated by. He dechipers the protective qualities that threaten dire consequence if he should harm the pale girl who he still hadn't met. The leer is recognized with relative ease, as he has seen that precise scowl upon the dismayed faces of many brothers, younger and older than their sisters, past. Big brother, he muses while uttering a cumbersomely heavy exhalation both inside and out; a true sigh of exasperation. The situation just seemed to be getting stickier and stickier.

Diverted abruptly from his thoughts at Hero's unceremonious approach, he is mildly startled by her sudden appearance - as he wasn't paying the least shred of attention. He anxiously had been gawking with brown eyebrows purposelessly raised at his dark denim clad knee. He manages with finesse to mask his minuscule amount of surprise as a body is perceived plopping down in front of him. Seeming to switch facades as rapidly as someone can blink, he sloppily grins at the coal black tressed comrade and fellow housemate. "You thought wrong." The profoundness of his comment strikes him, although only he could realize why. Many people seem to think wrong about Adrian Smallwood.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Isn't envy ugly? -- Alexia Hartam, 00:00:28 03/31/02 Sun

"Watch out, you've disturbed her royal highness."

The deep velvety alto chimes in from a nearby table. An athletic, golden haired girl turns slightly in her chair and nods her greeting to Cho and Lee. Her liquid sunshine hair tumults over her shoulder in her trademark ponytail as a small smile tugs at one corner of pale pink lips. Her perfectly sculptured face gives her a cold, haughty look, yet her gold eyes are warm and offer a small welcome. She continues quietly so they aren't heard over the din of the other's laughter, "You'll find that not all of us are so self absorbed. Or... unsympathetic."

She drops the subject of their school's demise; abiding, for the time being, to the Headmistress' request. She didn't see the sense of that order since problems left buried tended to fester and grow. With one more small nod she turns and faces forward again, returning her gaze to the rest of the newly arrived students.

Alexia normally kept her thoughts to herself, but she couldn't help but throw in her two cents on this one. The girl's acidic disposition was doing nothing to aid in this event. At least the Destructive Duo had lightened the mood. Her eyes rested on their now pink-tressed Headmistress. A ghost of a true smile flitted across her face before she went back to lazily scanning the crowd. Her eyes searching out and finding the infamous Harry Potter, or Fate's Whipping Boy as she long ago dubbed him. She then turned her golden gaze on his fellow students.

Misery, like any emotion, was contagious and the former Hogwarts students were all infected. This was understandable, but throwing them in with the already darker personalities of this school was not going to be pretty.

A mischievous smile tugged at the corner of her full lips, 'Amusing, intriguing, but not pretty.' Her eyes lit up with the possibilities, golden globes taking on a redder glow as her crimson flecked irises reflected her inner excitement. Just a while ago she'd complained that she was bored here, that looked like it was rapidly going to change.

[> [> [> [> [> [> Amusement -- Hero Adair, 09:06:44 03/31/02 Sun

Bright gaze turned itself to that of the golden-tressed female who had taken residence (haha) not far from she. Grin was given, which soon erupted into a smile. Gaze roamed once more over the Hogwarts students, lips slowly unraveling from the smile to a sympathetic frown. Eyes grew dark and cloudy in thought, though what thoughts she had were interupted by a sudden realization of Adrian's glances toward once of females in the group. Eyes quickly found the femme, before turning their attention to he [Adrian] in mild shock. Brow was raised before oculars quickly returned to scanning the group, mood remaining sober as she took in their miserable states that she almost ached to cheer. Hand raised to twist a tendril of ebony tresses as gaze found the young male dubbed 'The Boy Who Lived'. Heart nearly wrenched when she spied he and his friend, though head tilted and sigh was given. Slender hands slipped through her hair before, once again, returning to the arms of the chair. Attention was given to the Headmistress, having not heard a reaction from her the entire time.

(OOC: Well...that was a load of nonsense and rambling. O.e I'm gonna be gone for a week (see OOC board) so Haley, if you would please speak and move both Hero and Kern for me. :) Love you all!)

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Comatose
-- Pandora Fallon
, 20:22:34 03/31/02 Sun

The ennervated stoic randomly studies each sobered face in the coven from far and away, the expression on her own refined visage elusive unlike the transparently despondent crowd's contenances. Her mood swings from negative mood negative mood constantly, therefore cannot truly be intelligible. Her cold and venomous gaze is as distant from caring as where the newly arrived adolescents' home is. In their idle probing, her azure oculars seem lazy and utterly indifferent like the rest of her. Their comatose, inert rounds of those less fortunate in the sick cycled game called life fundamentally resemble her blackened, brackish emotions. Concentrating as she quickly undoes the ties that support the bun she had manuevered her silken, burnished hair into, she momentarily seems malaise. The look quickly disappears and her chocolate shaded tresses drop in an ambrosial way from their prim perch. The umber strands, as soft and fine as baby's hair, cataract nearly to the middle of the back of the feeble and allecting girl; just a bit past her bantam shoulderblades. With meditative mourn capering over her dolorous but regal and ravishing face, it is obvious that the intangible armor shrouding her is not a facade. It is as plain as day and just as real.

Shackled to her slothful lethargy by her chosen disinclination to even appear as if she is extant, the only barely palpable indication that she is alive are the motions that accompy survival of human beings (breathing and blinking, done rather listlessly by her). Her unfeeling violet eyes callously contemplate the lessers of stifled intellectual capacity, deriving a decayed form of ascendent achievement which feeds her significant superiority. Being scholastically ept is not the only matter she feels disdain over her inferiors. There is a varying myriad of assorted things that one could undergo pertaining to envy towards this wickedly complicated enigma called Pandora, but there are just as many reasons to be grateful one was not her, what with that viperously caustic disposition of her's and the wanton heart she possesses. She has no empathy; instead, immunity.

The pair of socially emulated, morally disgraceful pranksters are gambling frivolously in her far less comical view. Weaned of larkishly quipping farces aboriginally, her only "sense of humor" is a corpse, ironic one. Being so jejune and generally being a "normal" (depending on your definition of normal) child was a privelege she was thieved of when she abandoned the warm solace of the womb. For the nine painless months in the place of refuge inside of a surrogate mother (a friend of the family's; for the Fallon mistress vainly concluded that she could not risk befouling her effiminate figure), she had remained unscathed from the cruel ironies and dreadful demons of the reality; her innocence unmarred and pure, free from the corruption the world besmirches life with. Needless to say, the innocence tarnished until it had become nothingness, with the onset of time and the harsh frailties and human sin that escorted it. It had wasted her to the point where nothing but cynical jaundice and hate exsisted inside of her.

At this depth of melancholy mulling, she has swept her ambiance under the rug, so to speak. The congregation had been drowned into a pool of oblivion somewhere in a recess of her grimly and ominously overcast mind. A sort of stygian darkness had engulfed her from the inside out as she once again found herself lost on dour topics of philosophy, and everything physically around her evanesced. When she was reluctantly coaxed from her torpid stupor by an barely conscious yearn to see what had transpired, she found herself stranded in the same infernal, hopeless situation that has been her life since she could comprehend speech. It made her indignant to an extent where language failed. It was a poetic injustice that inspired her morbidity and perpetuated it. Her slight and delicate form shifts without motive, minuscule weight cocked slightly to one hip. Her dark stare is captivated by her slender and feminine shadow, and in a rare, momentary lapse of logic, she reaches out towards discreetly, as if it is will serve as a balm to her salted wounds. As if struck by the swarthy reflection of herself, she withdrawls the upper limb swiftly and resigns herself to looking bleak once more.

A slow swish of the polished wooden, mahogany doors opening had barely registered in her intricate brain. She eventually wills her cranium to angle askancely towards the one recently entered to imbibe an improved view of the happening. She regards the fairly complected boy in the same eerily passionless way that she beholds the rest of her species and anything else at that. However, she notes that he has mien of cultured poshness and perhaps faltering arrogance. The fey tone of blond his satiny hair is hued, the unique pigment of it, is a novelty to her. Remote intrigue, maybe? Evasive still is her doleful gaze, which recoils from him as quickly as it had betided him. The lissom frame of the tenebrous gamine seizes the advantage of being in close propiniquity of a nearby wall; leaning upon it with unspoken graciousness. The transplendent, divine amethyst toned orbs of the adolescent close in exhausation as she is lulled into a false sense of security with the support of the wall. Her essence is of ague odium and loathsome contempt. Her never jabbering jaws set with stubborn determination to defy anything anyone requests. If she would have been elsewhere, she would have hurled herself down and pleaded with the Earth, perhaps even cajoled it, to swallow her.

The voice didn't return, and by now, the pale teen knew to expect this sometimes; it was a fickle fixture, often times unwelcomed when it first made its unpredictable appearances, but in the same proverbial breath, it was a comfort sometimes, to hear the voice of...

Reality and fantasy were getting blurrier by the day, he knew, and mentally, he had to self-flagellate to maintain the tipsy homeostatis of his slender frame, allowing the ghostly thin slivers of flesh that served as eyelids to cover his oculars momentarily while he drank in the new sensory information here. He couldn't afford to abandon what took years to construct, the self-discipline and control, and let himself plummet into the encrouching shadows that seemed to leer and taunt when he was alone. Unlike these people, he had no one to 'lean on,' per se, no guiding hand anymore, and so he was forced to start anew...alone.

Alone.

It was not a familiar feeling and most definitely treated with an internal rage everytime it reared its head, which just so happened to be daily. And that was the voice's purpose, the disembodied being that mocked the deceased Malfoy patriarch's dazzling drawl; to ease the stabs at his heart, to erase to scars on his soul, that being thrown into a new situation alone, and without the usual protecting shelter, would inflict.

It worked...moderately.

Glacial-grey ooids pried themselves slowly back open with a determination now, an almost azure blaze, as he drew in a painful breath of air, the very oxygen stinging as if it was liquid rather. It hurt, the burden of carrying on what a Malfoy meant by himself, and the pugnant throb in his thoracic cavity signified it and intensified as the lead-like feeling in his lower appendages transmogrified into fluid, flowing flawlessness, a steady stride resulting, and picking out a seat, avoiding anyone he knew from Hogwarts just as he avoided any of the Americans that looked over zealous and a bit too perky for the premise of their arrival. He'd have none of their faux smiles and even faker condolences, especially the ones that'd melt over the refined twinge of an English accent that he seemed to be gifted with; money practically resided in every dictioned word uttered passed his preened, pallid labrums. And he knew it and could use it with an uncanny charm if need be, much like an incubus would with a victim. But here, he'd only use it amongst the worthy - were there worthy ones here?

Although it may have seemed so, the one [Pandora] who'd favoured him with a gaze had not gone unnotice entirely; that piercing vision had been felt upon his guarded form, and he'd oscillated his fair-topped pate to seek it out, catching her visage just as it'd turned away from him. Intrigued, he was, to say the least; it was little more than an acknowledgement, but all the same, a spark of...something...seemed to set off inside his aura, perplexing him. A challenge, a meaningful conquest, almost. Perhaps, someone, in time, that might hold some sort of promise that the mainstream did not hold. And absently, as it was, he'd chosen a seat nearby her, albeit a few chairs down, casual robes of perpetual sable splaying over the furnitures sides, now, in the mocking elegance of a waterfall, only lacking the ambience of hue.

Digits, pliant and elongated in their alabaster dermis, slowly threaded through his tidily disarrayed fringe of argent, metallicistic locks, and this action in itself seemed to buy him time to muddle over his options here; he could remain quiet and reserved, or do the clichéd ambitious thing and have a go at some form of...conversation...with the mysterious female. The pride, that nagging thing that hadn't left him and probably never would, vouched for the latter, and before he knew it, he was unceremoniously leaning back, that delicate posture contorting to his whims, visage containing elevated features seemingly chiselled in an ice sculpture looming toward the distant girl, and hissing what could determine their whole coexistence together: "Is this place always this full of doting idiots?" The reference was to the mindless babble, the seeming cliques, and well, just things he'd never placed himself amongst, really, and the smooth tone that carried it, foreign compared to the ones resounding around him, seemed to encompass a velvety texture that caressed the audicles.

If he'd gathered anything right, even a smidget of an inkling, he assumed that her detachment reflected her opinion upon this place, these people, which had to be at least half of what his current standing was as well. Slowly, his lips curved, as if trying the gesture out for the first time, in a smirk, ominous in quality, as he awaited the retort. This one would be unpredicted, he guessed, and he could either be scorned or affirmed by it.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Someone of sound mind?
-- Pandora Fallon
, 12:02:27 04/01/02 Mon

The steely orchid toned eyes scalded the evidently aristocratic male as his proximity increased, although her gaze remained evasively slippery to the hold. As his ebony clad dorsum was rotated towards her, she leisurely examined his gossamer locks, the light hue of the silken substance resembling a sort of remarkably light topaz. A pale honey hue; what one would assume angel hair to feyly resemble. Perhaps it was this alluring physical attribute that had first arrested her attention, and what a rare privelege for him that was. Amongst other things not gone unneglected in her preordained checklist for any type of affinity and kinship, the ostentatious, smoothly operating swagger he incorporated into his gait, a detail recognized as that of genteel warlock, furtherly heightened her expectations for him to be sufferable. One of the many ways she differed starkly from her more secretarian peers was that she deemed two individuals of opposing gender could rapportly connect on a basis of companionship that did not necessarily have to include romance.

Her knottily abstruse mind was reeling with the possibilities of not being isolated from any form of human interaction. The sudden optimism, a previously unexperienced emotion, that surged through her shocked her, overloading her with its novelty to the point where she detested it. The inverse of her prior, nearly positively described emotion, a new reprimand encroached upon the ray of light amongst a cluster of nimbus clouds, sending the lumination into terrified hibernation. She suddenly scourged herself inwardly for perhaps setting herself up for a fall, her gaze by sheer luck bidding his backside farewell to contemplate what is directly in front of her. It had been amply fortunate for her because precisely after that very moment, he craned about to issue speech to her in hopes of finding some sort of ballast to root himself to reality. Exhale assured she possessed no conception of the convicting slipping into mild pyschosis on his part since the tragedy he had endured over the timespan of the past months, for she was no clairvoyant. She didn't intend to probe into a, thus far, stranger.

Her lilac toned oculus' thin eyelids concealed the brilliantly bright amethyst windows to the soul; the soul uglied and spoiled, perhaps even rotting, from years of weather proofing from an life with such an unpredictable climate. This weather that caused her to construct a once flimsy, now nearly inpenetrable shell around herself, was of constant rain and sudden tempestuous squalls, provoked by the world's miasma and burdensome. The tragedies of human beings - not their tribulations, but their tremendous, greedy and conscienceless vices, were one of the elements that kept her withdrawn into a state of purdah. The weather had never been balmy or moderate. His intuition that her detachment was from how typical, mostly unexposed, and generally vapid their fellow students were was a contributing factor to her antisocialism. Ergo, his deducement is correct. There were thousands of other adverse explanations for her beguilingly labyrinthine approach to things, but the primary reason was she was ridiculously stubborn.

In the brief moment that her eyes are closed perhaps to escape the recently onset torture, she soon reversed the action and was caught off guard to see that the celestially embodied boy's haunting, wintry grey gaze had befallen her. He was strikingly august, what with all of his pallid characteristics that seemed to mesh together harmoniously to give one the impression of a cherub dwelling in a cheapened world that seemed unfit for the beauty it possessed. Her own image is not unlike it; except for the fact that her skin is bronzed by the sun's glory and her hair is of a more swarthy tone. Until he spoke, she remained lackadasically still and hushed, but when the words did efflux from his fleshy colored mouth, his image combined with his words enticed a galvanizing smirk to her copper roseate lips. His voice was richly satiny and euphonious, and the words he ennunicated with it pleased her to an ineffable extent, for it confirmed her suspicion that perhaps she was not utmostly alone. Her own voice is not trilling and is anything that is the antonym of strident... she speaks with a sort of soft huskiness. "The world is full of doting idiots." Never had truer words been spoken in her point of view. The blandly adorned smirk did not cease to exsist just yet as she lounged back into the wall in unrushed languor and contemplated him blandly, cogitating if she should give a less mazy reply. No, she concluded. She would leave the insolvable, perplexing puzzle that she obscurely is open ended.

[> [> [> [> A Mind yet to Wonder.. -- Cho Chang, 11:39:25 04/01/02 Mon

Dark eyes cast their doe-like gaze 'pon the rebellious female that shouted, quite surprised at her sudden outburst, yet completely calm.. Her mind yet to wonder what emotions were born within the female, for she and Lee were merely conversing with low voices and not even bothering to commit any harm to those around them. Her head is shooken in a slightly exasperated manner, though she does not hold the emotion of being so on her face. Her voice discovers itself once again and she asks Lee, perplexed.

What's with her?

The corners of her lips turn up in a half-confused smile. She was simple beauty, none to special, but still was a beautiful just the same. Never would she brag to another about what she had and others did not or what she didn't have and others did. For to her, everyone was equal and each had their own unique abilities and outlooks on life. Her dark gaze searches Lee's face, her smile still kept in sight as the asian-descended female stands with the human of the opposite gender.

[> [> [> [> [> sometimes the unknowns in life remain as such -- Lee Jordan, 11:48:34 04/01/02 Mon

Male shrugs slightly, taken aback by the outburst of the unknown. Only further deepening his thoughts of the americans being uncaring. He had merely been conversing with Cho. There was no flirting involved. His short past of terror and pain would never allow him to be flirtatious.. He merely was seeking comfort, a friendly face to gaze upon, a gentle voice to talk to. If young woman who had been angered by their actions wished to get the attention of males, that was not the way to do it. Watches silently until she was seated once more before turning eyes back upon she of oriental decendance. Another shrug is issued. He knew not what had infected the girl to make her attack them. A slight grin is upon his face, though inside, he could almost feel the bitterness towards the americans growing..

Oriental female smiles at Lee, taking her seat at a table that appeared to be set for the Hogwarts students to sit until they were sorted. Long, slender digits run through silk-like, raven locks, keeping them in line and out of her gaze. A sigh is issued, glancing around and then back at Lee.

Lowers physique into place aside asian miss. Exhales deeply, eyes roaming aimlessly. Yet, he finds his deep chestnut eyes being drawn in by Cho. Offers a little smile. Would this ceremony ever end? Head tilts back, sending dreadlocks sliding from vision. Arms cross on the table in front of him, leaning forward slightly. Once more, he looks unto Cho..

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Maybe Things'll Change? -- Cho Chang, 12:16:44 04/01/02 Mon

Dark eyes glint slightly in amusement, finding that she hadn't lost all friends during the decline of Hogwarts. Oh, a twinge to the mind at that blessed word.. As she shifts slightly in her seat, raven locks roll like waves with each gentle movement of her head as she rakes her mind for something to talk about, but not a thing came to mind at the moment. Her eyes merely lock with his in a impenetrable gaze, her thoughts brewing, bubbling, and searching for something.

Mascule takes in her stare, welcoming it. At least it was kind. It brought some comfort, when there was none. Silently, he longed to be out of this place. Anywhere but here. How inviting even a hole in the wall sounded to him. Clears his throat, as though ready to speak. However, his voice fails him, plunging him in silence. In this quiet, he was half comfortable, but half not. Eyes bear deeper into the almond-shaped ones of Cho. It is said that the eyes are the doorway to a person's soul. If so, he wanted to know what her soul was like..

Into my Soul.. -- Cho Chang, 12:32:19 04/01/02 Mon

Nervousness crowds her mind as her dark eyes hungrily take in his own gaze. Asian youth manages to speak a few, quiet words.

So.. You like Quidditch?

A nervous smirk lights up her face, knowing obviously that he must, for he was practically the "Quidditch broadcaster" during the games. Female remembers his comical broadcasts when she used to play, remembering once again about his cursing of the Slytherins if they would cheat. Inside, she laughs at the memory, taking in his gaze.

Head moves with a gentle nod. Mouth could no longer form words. He suddenly felt as though in a whirlwind, no, in the heart of a tornado. The entire room appears to spin..though the image of Cho was anchored in front of he. Leans forward, arms eating up more of the table top, for support. Eyes disappear beneath his eyelids, breaking the constant gaze they had connected with. The feeling of being tossed and bucked about slowly subsided, and he reopens them. There, they fall up Cho. A light behind her casts a glowing Halo about her. A small smile. So she really was an angel..

Noticing that he looked a dazed, asian adolescent watches him carefully, to be completely sure that he was okay. A singlular, slender digit reaches out and she touches his arm slightly, then pulling back as she was a little worried. A smile tugs and pulls at her lips until it can glow 'pon her face, almond-shaped eyes watching him in a slightly worried manner, though knowing that he had to be okay..

Takes in a deep breath, and notices the twinge of worry swimming within her eyes. Offers a smile.

That was weird. I felt .. like I was - never mind, I feel fine now. Honest.

Another smile is given. True, he was feeling better, though he still felt a little shaken. However, one look at her glowing face, and the veil of fog that hung over his mind was swept away post haste. Silently wondered if she knew the powers she held..she was beautiful both inside and out...

The worry of Lee in harm subsides quickly, a kind smile adding a certain 'spark' to her face as she says softly, lips moving beautifully to create the words.

I'm just glad you're okay.. You scared me for a moment..

A series of black strands fall in her eyes and she gentley blows them back, letting them fall into place naturally. Her ears take in the sounds around them as her lips become together again, still in a perfectly angelic smile. Unaware of his thoughts, yet ever wondering what he was thinking..

[OOC: I had to let people r/p, so I'm going to have to twist her previous words into "I will now allow a brief recess" or something of the sort, because she wouldn't have let things get so out of hand if she had said "I will now read the results." So, yeah. Bear with me here.]

The coarse, silver haired termagant was deep inside, amused by the whimsical boys' actions, but she would never publically disclose such portended emotion. She also was, however, outraged that they show such ill discipline towards the new arrivals, and was also humiliated at such. "Detention, both of you. After the ceremony, I expect you in my office." Her stare remained stoney as she contemplated them, her gaze calming the crowd until they no longer were social. Her form frigid from indignation, she turned towards the former Hogwarts students which will now be attending her school. "I will now read the results." [ooc: getting redundant here e.e]

"Hannah Abott... Talontoln. Malcolm Baddock... Kilborg. Katie Bell... Talontoln. Eleanor Branstone... Kilborg. Lavender Brown... Virlastyn. Owen Cauldwell... Gerslein. Cho Chang... Kilborg. Colin Creevey... Riskangt. Roger Davies... Avolbliar. Seamus Finnigan... Gerslein. Justin Finch-Fletchy... Avolbliar. Gregory Goyle... Kilborg. Hermione Granger... Talontoln. Angelina Jhonson... Talontoln. Lee Jordan... Riskangt. Draco Malfoy... Gerslein. Pansy Parkinson... Avolbliar. Padma Patil... Kilborg. Parvarti Patil... Avolbliar. Harry Potter... Gerslein. Graham Pritchard... Virlastyn. Orla Quirke... Virlastyn. Alicia Spinnet... Virlastyn. Dean Thomas... Riskangt. George Weasley... Riskangt. Ginny Weasley... Gerslein. Ron Weasley... Gerslein. Blaise Zambini... Virlastyn. I thank you for attending, best of wishes, and with that, I conclude this assembly. New students will be receive a tour of the school courtesy your Heads of Houses." She offered a rueful smile and gathered the documents she had been required to bring with her. She hushed the buzzing crowds, dismissing them in order of establishment: Talontoln, Kilborg, Gerslein, Avolbliar, Riskangt, and finally, Virlastyn.


[OOC: We're going to have to skip the Heads of Houses giving them "tours." Perhaps just feign that it happened so that they're in touch with locations on the grounds and such. Now, the first plot can begin.]

Oriental-descended female shifts her gaze quickly to the Headmistress, almond-shaped eyes locked 'pon her as she lingers on the woman's words until her name and house are called. "Kilborg..", she thinks to herself, "Doesn't sound too bad.."

Standing once on cue, female looks back at Lee Jordan, almond-shaped eyes seeming to give a fretful good-bye, though adolescent knows she shall see him again. Ripping her gaze from him, poised head turns ahead of her and youth follows the line, though not wanting to.
