[Moun Stark]

I've been there... four times, Moun answered with a faint smile, pausing to count.... but nearly every time, something weird happened... she added, her face falling. She shivered. at the memory of those men.

 

Ethan's following sentence made her frown slightly. A few years before, she would have accepted gladly, without any second thoughts, but now she was more cautious -most people would even say paranoid... This sounded weird. Like she didn't have a choice. Once more, she wondered if this student could be an adult, polyjuiced. She knew her enemies were masters in disguise... She shook her head to chase those suspicions away. No, it didn't make any sense: her head was always buzzing in warning when the older dark wizard was around, and as for the younger one... why would he go through all that trouble to hurt her when he could have just killed her or kisnapped her a few days ago? No, this was just a french student, that was it.

Sure, she finally answered, a smile back on her face. Hogwarts' castle is full of surprises, you'll see.

 

The french boy's explanations made her think about her own future for a moment. Work for the ministry? Why not... Maybe she could do the same work as Cora's dad? Yep, this sounded pretty cool. How did she call it already? Oh, yeah: magizoologist. But first she had more pressing concerns.

Snapping out of her thoughts once more, she pouted in reaction at the boy's words.

Yeah, Sweden sounds... weird, right? she said.

She didn't know much about it, but all she'd heard was how creepy Durmstrang was, and how wild dark wizards were there.

 

She glanced at the two pets again. The cute kitten seemed to want to play, bt Plato wasn't done with his sniffing. He stood on his hind legs to sniff the cat's ears. Soon enough, the little rodent started nibbling softly on it.

Careful Plato, she warned him.

The kitten seemed old enough to defend itself, but a rat's bite could be something dreadful -she was speaking from experience.

[Alexander Gray]

[New RP, tag: Arizona] 

 

Alex was just coming back from dinner, man... he had eaten so much! All the chicken, and sweets and desserts, it was all so much- and for a young kid like Alex it was heaven! He had eaten so much in fact that he had struggled to get all the way up the tower to his common room, even though he was usually very fit. As he got to the Ravenclaw tower he sighed, relieved it was all over. 

[Maxine Ruby]

(Rp continued from a different form)

 

Maxine finally got up the steps to the tower and headed to the common room but as she approached she started to hear voices what was odd, normally jt was pretty quite in the common room. Then she realized that it was people's thoughts. Great. The closer she fot to the common room the louder the voices got. Soon they became unbearableand she sat down with her back against the wall and curled up. She knew that she would have to go though the voices to get to her dorm room.

[Minerva Mikkelson]

Minnie had to fix this she really screwed up and wanted to apologize to Max. She didn't know where she would be so she went towards Ravenclaw tower and maybe if she was inside she could have another Ravenclaw go get her. She went to the entrance but she didn't have to have another Ravenclaw go get her because she was just outside the entrance. She saw Max curled up in a ball against the wall. She ran to her and sat next to her, Max, what's wrong? If it's what I thought, I am so sorry. This is new for me too.

[Maxine Ruby]

Maxine was trying to figure out a way to get past the people in the common room and get to her dorm room but she hadn't been able to figure out how to even to get any closer to the common room door without passing out. Then she heard a voice or what she thought was a voice. She uncurled slightly so she could see who it was. "Minnie?" "Minnie? What are you doing here?" Maxine hesitated before answering Minnie's question. "First it is what you thought but now I can't even get any closer to the common room or I'll pass out." Did Max want to talk to Minnie, not really, but it was better then talking to no one.

[Minerva Mikkelson]

Minnie looked at her and frowned, I know you are mad at me and have every right to be but I want to help. Is there anything I can do to help you get to your dorm room? She wasn't sure if there was a way but she wanted to help. I need to show her I am sorry, and that I know I really screwed up. She is like a sister to me. She rubbed her best friend's back wanting to comfort her in someway but she wasn't sure how.

[Maxine Ruby]

Maxine wasn't sure what to do. Yes she was mad at Minnie but did she want her to leave? No. Maxine wanted to curl up again but she didn't want Minnie to think that she was ignoring her. "I don't think there is anything you can do. I will have to try to get to my dorm room eventually." Maybe after everyone has gone to bed or at lest most of them, I can get to my dorm room. Maxine just wanted this to just be a horrible nightmare. It was common for Maxine to have nightmares but none had been this detailed or this bad befor. She hoped it was a dream and like all dreams it would end.

[Minerva Mikkelson]

Minnie stayed where she was. She wasn't going to leave her best friend's side unless she told her to go away. Max, I will stay here with you all night if needed. You need a friend right now and I am going to be that friend. She knew she had to make up for what she did and she was going to. I have to learn to control my thoughts around Maxine now. Dang it she can hear me, ugh this is going to be hard. I am sorry Max, I am trying.

[Maxine Ruby]

Maxine's head was pounding but she tried her best to not show it. "I don't want to be a burden." Maxine heard Minnie's thoughts and wasn't sure what to think at first. "Minnie don't be sorry, It isn't your fault. We both are still getting use to this. In fact I am not use to this what so ever. I just think I preferred it when I couldn't hear people thoughts. Yes, it probably will be cool at some times but there will be alot of times that I'll hate it." Max knew that she would probably end up hearing something sooner or latter that she would regret hearing.

[Prof. Drake Archer]

New RP ~ Prof. Britney Byrne 

 

Woah! What was happening? Going from the big stage to the big school of magic? Drake was still trying to get his head on straight but at the same time, all he could focus on was reuniting with his Hogwarts Sweetheart, Britney Byrne. The two had quite some magical adventures in and outside of the walls of Hogwarts. Drake was broken when she had fallen for another man and ended up with him which had caused Drake's leave to the performing arts but after hearing that she was now free from her married name, Drake was going to do everything he could in order to get her back and never let her go.

 

Hearing now that she was teaching at Hogwarts, Drake had taken the chance to apply as well and he was hired to teach in History of Magic. How lucky was that?! Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Drake eventually heard that Britney wasn't just a professor, but the Head of a House! He's gonna have to jump through hoops in order to get her attention again but he hoped that she too remembered their time together before he lost her the first time.

 

Standing before the tower entrance that led to Ravenclaw Tower, he wrote a mysterious note asking for Britney to come from her tower and to meet a man she had once known. Behind his back, he held three dozen red and white roses. He smoothed his golden hair and adjusted his suit in hopes to truly impress her after so many years of being away from one another.

[Prof. Britney Bryne]

The week had been pretty busy for Brit.  Dealing with preparations for the up coming term, the holidays celebrations, and Ravenclaw had Brit working around the clock.  It actually didn't bother her one bit since being home meant being alone.  It had been about 2 weeks since Brigette left home to be with Liam for the Holidays.  It was his turn, which had Brit feeling a little down.  She missed her daughter but at the same time she needed time for herself, to think and get her life together.  It had been about a year now that Brit and Liam had been separated but at the beginning of the Fall term they tried to work things out but that fell through.  Brit couldn't handle it anymore so she filed for divorce. Now a single woman, Brit was getting used to doing everything on her own, which wasn't too bad.

 

While sitting in her common room office, dealing with a claw student, Brit received an owl.  She picked it up from her desk and looked at it.  It was written in a nice scented parchment.  She quickly opened it and read it, a small smile formed on her lips.  She closed the parchment and placed it in her pocket.  Once she finished her conversation with her claw student she dismissed her and took out the parchment once again and read it.  Who could it be? As she thought about it one person came to mind.  Drake, her school sweetheart.  The last time she heard of Drake he was dancing on stage, being the star he always was.  He couldn't be back? could he?

 

Brit stood up, fixed her long black hair, her Ravenclaw robes before heading to meet this person from her past.  As she walked down to the entrance of the common room she couldn't help but feel nervous.  Opening the doors of the entrance of the common room, her light blue eyes landed on a very familiar face.  She froze.  Drake was standing there, looking handsome as ever.  The last time she saw him they were 17 and graduating.  So many memories ran through her mind, wonderful ones.  Brit smiled softly before walking towards him, more like running.  She quickly wrapped her arms around Drake, hoping he didn't mind.  "Oh my god! Drake I can't believe you're here" she said as she hugged him not noticing the roses behind him.

[Prof. Drake Archer]

Drake's heart began to rush a million miles an hour. He never had the opportunity to truly tell Britney the way he felt but he had made a promise on a wishing star that he would return to tell her and be with her. Even if she didn't feel the same, he would never leave and would be there even if she didn't know it. Rolling to and from with his heels and toes, he suddenly noticed the footsteps of someone.

 

His cheeks grew slightly red, which a very rare moment since he was always in the spotlight. Britney came into sight and it felt as though time had reversed itself and they were the seventh years they once were. Oh how it would be wonderful to have that time again. Britney ran to Drake. He smiled, lifting her with one arm and twirling the both of them. "I thought it would be nice to surprise you after all these years." Drake replied. He stepped away and held forth the three dozen red and white roses. "A beautiful gift for a beautiful woman." Drake smiled handing her the roses. "I've thought of you much but I couldn't stand to be away any more so I had to come and be with you." Drake said, confidence and kindness in his voice.

[Prof. Britney Bryne]

Brit giggled as he picked her up and twirled her.  One of the things she loved about Drake was how romantic he was, he knew how to love someone.  Back when they were in their 3rd year, Brit was sitting by the lake crying because she had lost a very special fairy locket that she wore everyday.  This locket was from Romania, very hard to find. Drake found out and in a few days he presented Brit with the another similar fairy locket, how did he find it? he never said.  He always made sure she was taken care of.

 

Once he set her down, she fixed her robes before she noticed the beautiful red and white roses.  Brit's lips widen into a smile as she took the roses. "Thank you Drake, they are beautiful!" she leaned her head forward taking in the wonderful smell from the roses.  "It's been years.  I thought I would never see you at Hogwarts again" her light eyes looked up at him.  Brit had seen Drake on stage dancing but never had the guts to approach him because of how things ended. And come on, he was a star, she was a simple professor.  "I thought you forgot about me, Mr. Spotlight" she said before moving a few strands of hair behind her ear.  

 

"Are you teaching at Hogwarts?" Brit asked since she just noticed his Gryffindor robes.  She had been so focused on Drake and those beautiful eyes that she hadn't really noticed anything else.  This past year had been a rough one for Brit but at that moment looking into Drake's eyes made Brit feel like things were going to change, for the better.  "If you are, maybe we could do some catching up?" she took a deep breath trying her best not to show him how nervous he made her.

[Prof. Drake Archer]

So many memories were flashing in Drake's mind. He remembered sharing a history of magic class together and helping to tutor Britney on the difference of Magical and Muggle Congresses around the world. His complete nerd side came out but his love for history was so great. He had also remembered when they had attended the Yule Ball together. Drake had done so much to ask her to such an event but he was sure she would have said no. He remembered enchanting fairies to dance around the Black Lake to spell out his question of her going with him. Oh he even got goosebumps from the thoughts.

 

"I never would have expected coming back either, but let's be honest," Drake began "Our friendship was inseparable and I just couldn't bear being away any more." Her comment about forgetting Britney made Drake shake his head. "Trust me, even using Obliviate couldn't keep me from forgetting you Brit." He was so happy that his gift of roses stole her heart. Step one of love, check!

 

Drake nodded, "Yes ma'am! History of Magic and Astronomy." Drake was so excited to get started teaching. He loved children and the idea of teaching made the world for him. "I can't wait till we have our breaks from class because we have a lot we have to catch up on." He took her hand gently, giving it a passionate and powerful kiss.

[Alec Vaughn]

[new RP]

 

Alec was bored. With a capital B. Classes were a yawn, especially as he knew most of the things. Kidding, but he tried to believe that he actually did. Or well, he would show off to people that he did. Because he is that way. Anyways, classes were done, the common room was a bust, as most of the people he knew weren't there. So Alec decided to creep outside the claw common room, to see if he could sneak in to bug his twin. Hey, the two were inseparable before, so Alec was way too used to Ric so he was his go to person in case of any boredom. Anyways, they looked the same, so maybe he could pass by with a group of people unnoticed? Hmm. Al dwindled outside the common room, waiting for someone to arrive.

 

tag: the twin

[Alaric Vaughn]

First week of classes? Done. So far, the classes seemed to be okay-ish. Since he had already read some of the syllabus before hand which gave him a lot of spare time to either study and do some homework or just hang out and explore the castle. He immediately went back to the dormitory to gather some parchment for his school works. I wonder what's Alec's doing now? he thought. As he walked out of the common room, there he saw his twin apparently waiting. The sight of his brother made him forget about the task he was about to do and set it aside to be finished later. He was a bit sad since they used to share a room and now, he shared the room with people he wasn't quite acquainted yet hopefully on the long run they get to know them. It was when he realized that even though they were all studying in the same school, they were sorted into different houses except for Hufflepuff. Which he highly doubts any of his older siblings were sorted there. Those people seems to be way too friendly than he was used to. He immediately approached his brother and smirked "You missed me that much already? and have you seen sis yet?" he said and asked. 

[Alec Vaughn]

Okay, so yes. Al missed his twin. A little. But there was no way he was going to, you know, admit to it. But the sight of his twin walking out of the entry, just as he was planning to go in, was enough to bring a big smile on his face. "Me, missing you? Hah. You missed me, hence you are here." Al said, shoving his brother on the arm lightly. "Admit it, you were coming out to see me." He grinned. It was weird for him as well, sharing a room with people he didn't know, because ever since they were born, it had always been him and Ric. In a cot, in one swing, in one room. People considering them to be a single identity with the way they went around together. It sort of developed that way especially when you are living with someone who looks like you. Exactly. Now, when he was in his dorm and he would think of a cool prank to do or someone to bug, he would have no one to tell them about. Or he would have to travel all the way over to the claw common room. Meh. With time, they will probably find new friends, but for Al, Ric was the person he told everything to. "I don't know, I was sure I caught sight of sis earlier this day but she was like heading out, and too far off - so I didn't say anything." He shrugged. "Did you? And how is your dorm? I have 4 people in mine, and all of them are like..eh. I don't know if they like interesting stuff or not." 

[Alaric Vaughn]

"Nope. Why would I miss you? See this?" He pulled out his book from his backpack and showed it to him "I was supposed to study, but I did get the feeling that you're outside. I can sense your boredom from the common room you know." Alaric joked and made a funny face at his twin. He too, misses his twin but they were at the age where they were embarrassed to admit it to one another and would turn to other means of sending the cue. He shook his head in response, "I haven't seen her either. hmmm... How about we surprise her later? I've successfully snucked some stinkpellets when we arrived here and safely kept it on my trunk" He gave him a mischievous grin. "That is if we know what she's up to" However, to attain this, they need to get a hold of Clary's schedule for whole term and made sure she was alone when they did it. He wouldn't want to be in the bad side of those Slytherins. 

 

For a few minutes, Al thought about his situation at his dorm before he answered. The people staying in his dorm were... you guessed it right brainy. A bit brainy for Alaric's liking, and some were already off scoring more house points against Slytherin. Talk about house competition. He may be spending some of his time reading but he couldn't forget about his own hobbies which still kept him sane. He preferred balance among his priorities. "Four people as well, from what I observed, They're more grade conscious than me and its just the start of the term. All they did was read, write on repeat. Though I didn't get to know them personal level maybe soon if they're not busy. and the dorm? it was okay but, our room at home was spacious. Well other than that, I least I befriended a claw girl same year as us aside from Geoffrey." He said.

[Audrey Conners]

Tag: That narcissistic blonde haired claw boy

 

Audrey marched her way all the way up the stairs to the Ravenclaw common room. A few terms ago she would never had put this much effort into seeing Brooke, but feelings had stirred inside of her and it was very much a hate/love situation here. You know, hate to love him, love to hate him. And as much as she didn't want to admit it, she had grown feelings for the boy. How, might you ask? She doesn't even know. It just happened one day. And she hates the fact that she does but Audrey didn't have a choice. Her feeling do what they want. So she had a plan today and she was going to do it. What the hell, it was the start of her last year at Hogwarts, might as well start it off with a bang.

 

She knew she would be coming around her at some point. Rather than searching the halls all over for him, she was going to just wait by the common room for him to either come out, or be heading in. She would catch him either way. Audrey leaned against the wall, her arms crossed over her chest, her foot tapping impatiently, and a million butterflies in her stomach waiting for a glimpse of that bleach blonde hair with the blue tie.

[Kele Brooke]

Kele Brooke was preparing to go out outside of the common room,to the lawn actually because he was planning to paint there, the castle would be very rushy near that part. Others might be busy reconciling and Brooke was just looking forward to meet old trouble makers in his life. He was holding the board and bag contain all those essential paints which were required for his goal. Some motivation, he might even visit the lake. He wasn't in his school robes, rather his black jeans and loose grey t-shirt. His long hair was combed and left open.

Kele reached the door, it opened on its own sensing his presence. What he wasn't expecting was a certain blonde to be waiting outside, looking toxic as if she was nervous or sad about something. "You look like you are about vomit, Conners." He said mockingly, but there was still some concern which was hidden behind. He knew her since his second year, of course he has grown used to her. "You lost you way to the Hufflepuff common room" asked Brooke, marching towards her and kept his board aside.
