Cool and Spicy~

[whatshouldibe]

Great Hall

[This is a chance for Amu to start over. For her to drop her outside character and just be herself. Except that is easier said than done. She's only been with her chara's and the others for a year but she misses them. She sits at a table after leaving her cloak in her room. Her bag from her old school is in front of her and she's looking out the window with her chin resting on her palm. She's a little down without anyone else she knows here but her parents had gotten so excited when she got her letter.

She sighs looking back over the great hall at the other students.

She can't help but wonder what it's going to be like here. There were a few people that she spotted from Japan but she couldn't help but feel a little displaced. As a collection of sad thoughts worked to invade her mind she tries to push them away. Everyone is wishing her luck from home and she'd be able to visit and see them again soon. 

Even so, she's clearly dwelling on it and has once again fallen back into her 'cool and spicy' attitude. She doesn't want to get close if she has to say goodbye.]

School Grounds

[Amu decides to spend some time walking around the outside of the castle. It was amazing seeing the castle from the boats with the stars as a back drop but it had been night then and she wasn't able to see it all. She steps through the grass taking a look at anything that seems odd. She has read a few books before coming that her father had given her about wizards and the like but there is a lot that she doesn't know.]

Mmm...

[She lightly kicks at a rock almost expecting it to fly off. This is such a weird place.

Amu does find a strange tree on the grounds and yet as she gets closer it starts to move so she takes a few steps back. It's not worth chancing that the tree might see her as a tasty snack.]

What's with this place.

Gryffindor

[She's sitting in the common room with a book out in front of her. Her attempts to jump ahead have only managed to put the first year to sleep. The fire next to her seems to be giving her just enough warmth for the chill of the castle not to wake her up. Her quill has fallen to the table and her head is resting in the center of her text, using the book as a pillow. It might take some effort to wake her up though it's hard to tell with the soft mumbles coming from her lips. ]

[Elsa always did her best to keep away from people for the most part and the best way to go about it was going outside more often than not. She enjoyed being outside after spending so many years trapped indoors and she had soon found herself near by the Whomping Willow. She had read about it in one of the books she had brought and knew better than to get too close.

But when she saw there was someone else around, she raised ehr hand lightly. So far so good.]

You... shouldn't get any closer. The tree will attack.

School Grounds

[whatshouldibe]

A-attack!

[Amu looks up at the tree before quickly falling into her 'that's not all that interesting' character. She sighs looking over at Elsa curiously.]

You know this thing then?

[frozeniceolation]

I've... read about it in a book. I don't know much about it personally.

[She wondered if perhaps there might be more to it really.]

[whatshouldibe]

[A book?]

So not the kind of thing you see every day, huh?

[Amu doesn't really want to jump at the sight of every tree though she'll probably always feel that creeping sensation that's currently traveling up her neck.]

[frozeniceolation]

[She shook her head slightly.]

No, I only recent found out about this world. That's why I read Hogwarts: A History to get a sense of this place.

[whatshouldibe]

[It would have been nice to know that there is a book like that.]

Okay shorty, were did you find this book?

[Not that Amu is much taller.]

[Elizabeth always enjoyed the fire of the common room and sometimes she just enjoyed spending time sitting in front of it for an hour or so, however this time she noticed that there was someone else there, asleep. She thought it might be a good idea for her to take the other up.]

E-Excuse me. If your tired you should maybe thing about going to sleep.

Gryffindor

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu mumbles softly, turning her head away from the voice before realizing she'd be caught sleeping in the common area. She slowly raises her head, still half asleep looking at the other girl.]

I was asleep.

[That doesn't sound right... Amu shakes her head slightly trying to unjumble her thoughts.]

[offrillsandswords]

I know, but maybe if you want to sleep you can sleep in a nice soft bed instead.

[She smiled with hands in front of her.]

[whatshouldibe]

[She rubs her eyes and shakes her head.]

I've already slept.

[Amu gathers her things trying to remain calm while a frantic voice sounded in her thoughts. Why would she fall asleep in such a public place!? This is to embarrassing.]

[offrillsandswords]

Oh... I thought you must be very tired to fall asleep like this.

[But she's been proven wrong, but what other reason could there be?]

Great Hall

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[Fuu did enjoy the food from time to time. It was different than it was back home. As she finished her plate, she moved to stand up, making sure her cloak flowed behind her as she did. That was something she was slowly getting use to after all, wearing a uniform that included something so long.

Today was a day she was going to make her rounds and say good morning to those that were currently here. The numbers weren't huge and that made it much easier.]

Good morning, miss. You don't look happy. Something wrong?

Great Hall

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu sighs looking over at Fuu and noting that she is wearing the cloak. It just doesn't fit Amu's style.]

Yeah, I'm okay.

[She sounds bored but the sad expression doesn't leave her eyes.]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

[She still figured something was up and maybe it could be home sick or something, she knew she was already.]

Really... Because you don't look it?

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu shrugs trying to play it cool.]

Nothing is really happening here.

[At least not that the moment and she hoped she sounded more bored than she did sad.]

[windofthephoenixtemple]

I guess that is true since they say the school year hasn't started. There isn't much to do. However in a new place don't you think exploring can always be fun?

[She was going to try and help the other, at least make it less boring anyway.]

Gryffindor

[revenge_driven]

[Honestly.... Ciel could care less that the girl feel asleep in the common room, but to use the book as a pillow? He should just leave her be and go about his business. He should but... After debating with himself, he finally decided it won't be right for him to simply ignore this.

Phantomhives were known for their hospitality and this... could sort of co-exist...? Still, he didn't care to wake her up, so instead he fetched a spare blanket and put it over her at the very least. If she couldn't find a better place to sleep, that was her fault. He's just going to go and read the Daily Prophet now.]

Gryffindor

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu can feel the weight of the blanket, even in her sleep. She stirs for a moment and then falls back into a light sleep. A few minutes after that her eyes slowly opened, her mind slowly processing the weight she felt draped across her shoulders.]

Humm...[She rubs at her eye looking over at Ciel.] Who put...

[Amu pulls the blanket some over her shoulder.]

When did I fall asleep.

[revenge_driven]

[Oh. So she did wake up after all....]

I don't know, but if you're that tired, you should retire in your dorm.

[whatshouldibe]

I wasn't tired... I was studying.

[She doesn't mean to sound so short but she's just waking up. Her gaze looks down at her papers and she signs.

She clearly isn't studying.]

Great Hall

[foodhoarder]

Hey. Are you going to eat that? [Because you seem dazed... and Sasha could take that off your hands for you.]

Great Hall

[whatshouldibe]

[Amu waves a dismissive hand.]

It's yours if you want it.

[It's hard to think about eating right now anyway.]

[foodhoarder]

Hey, thanks! [Taking that bread now.] So what's on your mind?

[whatshouldibe]

Just missing friends.

[Anyone would when they suddenly get a letter to Hogwarts just after making friends. Truefully, a year ago, she might not have admitted it.]

[foodhoarder]

[OmNomnomnom]

Oh, well I'm sure you'll see them soon enough. In the meantime, it's a great place to meet new friends.

[After finishing the bite she took of the bread...]

I'm Sasha.
