Subject: Not Amused, Not Sustained..
In reply to: Ron Weasley 's message, "-Through the Looking Glass-" on 17:26:54 03/29/02 Fri

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.

[> [> [> [> Then Save Me.. -- Cho Chang, 17:56:03 03/30/02 Sat

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.

Sharp eyes of the boy catch the slight change in the tint of her fair face. Surely he was not the cause of this! Finds a way to slouch to her height without drawing attention to himself. Voice, though hushed, holds..what? affection, maybe.

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? Those goddesses with their strong spells that they so easily cast upon him..

Peering at him from beneath long lashes, her lips part ever so slightly to allow her words to pass faintly. Her own voice seeming so strange to herself, not having heard it quite a long time..

I'm not sure.. I think it was.. Kilborg..

Her dark-eyed gaze washes over him, sending her heart aflutter, yet not wanting to embarrass herself, female tries to hide her gaze. But it continues to flutter out towards him..

What was this? Was he not worthy of her gaze anymore? Cranium tilts forward, attempting to grab her attention. Or did he already have it? Her actions said not, but what were actions? Anyone could act. Head tilts forward a little more, attempting once more. Was is animal magnitism too much for her to bear? [LOL!!!!!!] Because he seemed to be succombing to the incantation she had placed 'pon he...

Dark eyes lift to his and a smirk blesses those lips 'pon her face.. Either out of nervousness or amusement, it is unknown. 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..

Male archs side, in attempts to prevent the poke that was issued. Attempt failed, however. A grin blossoms over his lips, and he straightens suddenly, realizing he must've been attracting attention. Gaze flutters over to Cho, and he speaks, his lips barely moving, his voice once more a low tone.

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

Biting a bottom lip, her brows lower boredly, lips parting once more to let the few words out.

Boring? My gosh, YES!

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..

He does not catch her last gaze though. Eyes are fixed on the back wall. A extremely ponderous look is painted upon his features. Calculating. Finally, orbs shift. They roam around the room, searching, making sure no eyes were upon them. Eyes move upon her slight figure once more. Lips part, his tone lower than ever.

What'dya say we blow this popsickle stand?

Eyes bear into hers, searching for an answer.

A little stunned by his question, her mind stirs her thoughts a bit, youth biting her bottom lip in mere thought. Figuring she didn't have anything to lose, digits clench slightly..

I guess..Yeah..

The corners of her lips turn up and she smiles 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...

Eyes were rolled in an exasperated motion as she turned to glare upon the young rebel, "Oh shove of it. Let 'em be happy for a few minutes for Christ's sake." Features softened as gaze moved to the forms not far before her [Cho and Lee]. Friendly smile was given, head tilted slightly in amusement. Wave was given, though did not move as far as to greet them across the distance. Smile never wavered as her hand dropped to the arm of the chair once more.

[> [> [> [> Bite me... -- Magnolia Fairchild, 20:35:30 03/30/02 Sat

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.

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..

[> [> [> [> [> [> You're right..< /font size=2> -- Cho Chang, 11:59:14 04/01/02 Mon

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.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> perchance -- Lee Jordan, 12:05:28 04/01/02 Mon

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.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> one can only hope -- Lee Jordan, 12:22:50 04/01/02 Mon

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.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> ..tis a splendid thing -- Lee Jordan, 12:38:11 04/01/02 Mon

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..

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Do you Really think so? -- Cho Chang, 12:44:54 04/01/02 Mon

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..

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> with all my heart -- Lee Jordan, 12:51:33 04/01/02 Mon

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...

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> What Kindness You Posess.. -- Cho Chang, 13:00:40 04/01/02 Mon

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..

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Conclusion...
-- Lissane Krauss, 21:00:59 04/02/02 Tue

[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.]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Good-byes... -- Cho Chang, 09:24:20 04/03/02 Wed

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.
