First Clue - Beginnings are important.

Breakfast

[If she were to be brutally honest, Naoto isn't sure what she's doing here. However, very few people would notice her nervousness as she sits, ramrod straight at the Slytherin breakfast table, examining the eggs and bacon that she's been served and eyeing her pumpkin juice a bit warily.

As tiny as she is, she is likely easily mistaken for a younger boy. However, even as standoffish as she seems, she would not mind some company.]

Hallways

[Eventually, she finds her way to the halls, jostled here and there, by the crowds of people walking around. After two wrong turns, she finally walks up to another student, and pulls at the brim of her (uniform-defying) blue hat.]

Excuse me, Senpai, would you be able to tell me how to get to the Transfiguration classroom, please?

Library

[Everything being over for the day, Naoto can be found in the library, books around her, along with a Japanese-English dictionary. Her English is good, but there are just a few words here and there that she's not getting. She's concentrating, but easily interrupted.]

It's Gareki's turn

[gizmoe]

[ The night had been agonizing in one way or another. From teenaged hormonal libido to the humiliation of everyone in Ravenclaw finding out about Rin sneaking into the tower. The only thing he can be glad about is that none of the professors found out.

Yet.

But with the way everyone's spreading the word, it's only a matter of time. Gareki can kiss his free time goodbye soon, he's sure of it. So instead of going into the Great Hall, where he's also sure that he'll get stared at by everyone and talked about IN FRONT OF himself... He skips breakfast.

Instead, he stays at the scene of the crime (his bed), where a vote has been made to strip his bunk of the curtains so last night would never happen again.

Gareki, good student and someone who preferred to keep his head down, is now notorious for a love life he's still not sure he even had at the moment. How about that shit.

He spends the morning in his bunk with his mechanics book. When he ventures out of the tower into the rest of the school, he gives anyone who so much as looks at him a murderous glare. But he doesn't stay in Hogwarts for long. Instead, he makes a b-line for the sanctuary that was Hogsmeade. Away from a majority of stupid people looking at him like some god damn horny rule breaker.

There's a book in his hand, butterbeer on the table in front of him, and he's nicely tucked into a corner of the Hogs Head. Here, he hopes to take comfort in the fact that only the bravest of souls decide to visit. ]

Morning, Slytherin Dormitory

[That Sunday Rin wakes up with a snotty nose and a skull-splitting headache and groans. He supposes after what happened last night he should have expected it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. He'd been thrashing around all night, but only managed to fall into a light slumber in the wee morning hours dreaming weird dreams of frozen cucumbers, and being convicted at court with his pants down. If he was feverish, that explained those at least.

He dreads the Great Hall. He left Ravenclaw tower in a hurry and has no idea how things progressed from there. Maybe Gareki managed to convince everyone they saw a ghost, but somehow, Rin doubts it. He should just say he's sick and not go to breakfast, he's not hungry anyway. But that would be admitting he's sick, which would cause Sousuke go into full blown mother hen mode, which Rin can't stand. And he's worried about Gareki. He feels sorry for leaving his boyfriend to weather the storm, and he needs to know he's okay and just how much trouble Rin's idiocy has gotten them into. He should man up and brave the giant. Although he's pretty sure by now all of the castle knows.

Rin groans again.]

Breakfast, Great Hall

[Saying bravely he'll face the giant and bravely doing it are however two different things. Rin sits at the Slytherin table, convinced his head is about to explode. The food in front of him keeps turning his stomach, the glare of the morning light from the ceiling is too bright and the chatter is louder and livelier than ever before. Even worse is, that he can hear every single word from the neighbouring Ravenclaw table, every single ONE. They're loud and unrestrained and when Rin had stumbled into the Great Hall several minutes ago, ready to just sit down and not move, not a few of those nosy people looked at him for a brief moment, before continuing to talk louder.

He can feel the stares boring into him, as he sits with his back to them.

He had wanted to find and talk to Gareki, once he'd be safe on his legs again, and wasn't likely to collapse in the middle of the Hall, but now he's not so sure that being anywhere close to the Ravenclaw table is a good idea. It's bad enough it neighbours to Slytherin's already.

Rin groans for the upteenth time that hour, bangs his head against the table and keeps it there. The wood is at least cooler than his hand. Small favors, really.]

Bonus: Infirmary

[He ends up being dragged into the infirmary by the pains he calls his friends and teammates, when he almost collapses from fever that morning. This is also where he spends the complete week, because Madame Pomfrey is relentless. The first few days are spent between half-awake and restless sleep, the rest he's lying in the bed, snotty, grumbling, week and frustrated, waiting for his body temperature to get back to normal. He'll bark and complain a lot during this time, basically, if you brave a visit, expect behavior of a giant baby.]

((ooc: He's referring to this incident from last night, which is NSFW (but so, so hilarious), so read at your own caution, I am jst putting it here to make sense.))

((EDITED! Because Sousuke, Adela and Kise are major pains and Rin almost fainted from fever.))

03rd Run is Death looming above his head, or something like that, he's sure

Great Hall, breakfast

[That morning at the Ravenclaw table is... well, Kenya would say awkward, but he's probably the only one to feel that way, with how animatedly everyone seems to be chatting. And everyone talks about last night. EVERYONE. He hears his own name several times, which makes him feel like crying. Not that he's a crybaby, but this? It's a MESS. Not to mention Matsuoka walked into the Great Hall a couple of minutes ago looking ready to kill someone (presumably Kenya), which almost made him wet his pants. But then the Slytherin captain stumbled to his own table and Kenya realized the redhead was just sick. The part of him that was pretty much a healer in training felt bad for the Slytherin, the rest of him just moaned in pain. He's so dead.]

Rest of the Day

[The rest of the day doesn't feel less awkward and tortuous than the morning. The talk has managed to spread outside of Ravenclaw borders and whenever he passes people, they look at him, either with pity, or a snicker. It doesn't help that it's Sunday and there are no lessons to distract himself with and each time he runs into Gareki, he has to turn the other way and flee, because he's that sure he's about to get killed. He has no idea how he'll survive the night. Maybe he should build himself a nest atop the tower, sleep there. Alone. Waiting for Matsuoka to find him and do it. Slowly. Piece by agonizing piece.

The worst thing is there's nowhere to hide. Library is out of the question, at this time occupied mostly by Ravenclaws, it's a beautiful day, so everyone's at the lake, or somewhere outside, and even the pitch had been occupied. He's tempted to go and hide in the dungeons, go practice some potions, or just fly to the astronomy tower and sit there all day and night. Maybe it will be gone by tomorrow, he thinks miserably, but he knows it's a feeble hope. He should just write his will and quietly wait for the gallows.]

Greenhouse
[There were very few places that Alma enjoyed going to outside of class and one of those places happened to be the Greenhouse. Every other class he took while fine and he liked doing, the Greenhouse always seemed the most relaxing to go to and always was the most relaxing to learn as well.

Sometimes when he wasn't around his friends, he found himself in here to simply take care of the plants when they needed it.]

Looks like your all doing okay. All nice and healthy and growing big and strong. Just keep doing that and you'll have a whole lotta uses for others. That's a great thing.

[It did kind of remind him he should really tend to the one he has in his dorm. But he knew it didn't need too much tending to, but still. He enjoyed it. But he was planning on talking to the plants for at least a little while longer. Mostly about how his day was and what was going on with people he knew.]

Great Hall - Before the class
[Chisa had always noticed teenagers were at that age where they wanted to do certain things and she was aware that well... that type of thing really hadn't been taught. So after putting a good number of posters and flyers around the school she had set up the Great Hall in the afternoon after classes so that there were a multitude of chairs in rows, much like one would see in a normal class.

Holding her wand, Chisa was rather happy with the result before turning around and waiting for others to arrive.]

Great Hall - After class.
[Chisa had finished talking about what she wanted to, however she really needed to end it with at least some reminders.]

So I hope you have all learned something, but I must say something before I can officially let you go. [She coughs slightly, hands in a fist covering it.] It's okay to want to do that kind of thing, but please, please do not do it in the dorms. It's disrespectful towards roommates and the curtains are not soundproof. So please take it to the Room of Requirement.

[She soon claps.]

And that's it, class is done and you can do whatever with your evening.

[OOC: One can consider this a mingle log in a way, one can talk to others in the before and after or they can talk to Chisa herself if they so choose.]
