The Pitch

[A month into the new school year has passed and Sano finds out he's still alive. Well, mostly. He wakes up hung over most mornings, but at least it feels like he's doing stuff again, instead of moping around. Though to be fair, he's still moping and hurting, but he's doing while being active. He even worked out a schedule for the matches, in spite that it took him an entire night and half a bottle of fire whiskey. He has neglected some of his duties for a while, so he needs to catch up and his top priority right now is checking on the stadium, fix it up where necessary, prepare for the long winter.

The next few days you'll hear him banging around a lot, as he fixes bences, fills cracks, or cleans up. Usually hell whistle a tune, or sing quietly to himself, various love songs from home, while hoping it won't rain yet again. At least there are no augureys in Hogwarts.]

All about Quidditch

[With his slowly returning energy, and the approaching season, the practice intensifies, for all houses. A month towards the first two matches of the season, expect a murderous menu. Sano might not be strict, but he likes being effective. He'll correct you on your mistakes, point out some good techniques you can use, and make you work hard for your team.]

Getting some fresh air

[When he's not busy preparing the season, or giving flying lessons to the adorable first years, Sano usually uses the time for taking a long walk around the school grounds, to clear his head from various bad things floating around it and get somme fresh air, while the weather is still bearable. It's either that, or letting his feet carry him to the Three Broomsticks, or the Hog's Head, but he tries to choose the walks more frequently. For the greater part he succeeds.]

kiramekiouji

((OOC: So, Willow prompted me awhile ago and then I wrote this thing. Then I loved it enough to want to share it, and Willow wanted to bounce a taggity session off it, and after a bit of talk, I decided to sell it as a "joint post". I hope you guys are all alright with that. ~~In case it's not, tell me and I'll private it between the two of us.~~ You can tag both characters - if you want to -, in the aftermath, or straight after the cut off, I'm okay with everything. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing this. I hope the colors are okay.

The prompt was, as follows: first day back at school, Gareki chooses to sit by Rin at lunch and Yogi feels passed over so he takes it on himself to say hi, wherein draping himself over him and proceeding to be his normal self))

YOGI

[When September finally rolled around, Yogi had been ecstatic. Finally, finally back in school, back with his friends and everyone he cares about. Not that he doesn’t care about Hirato, or Tsukitachi, but he really just misses his friends, each moment they are not together. Especially Gareki. Everyone, really, but especially Gareki. And since this is Yogi’s last year, he just wants to enjoy it with the people he loves. One last year together, before they split apart and enter the real world.

So when September comes and the halls of Hogwarts open again, one blonde Hufflepuff (not like there’s that many of those) can be seen bouncing around the corridors, giggly and happy and greeting everyone. He spent most of the morning draped over people’s shoulders and is now heading to lunch. It’s a tradition with him and Gareki to sit together during some of the meals, and the Ravenclaw table is pretty much used to him hijacking them on a regular basis.

What he doesn’t, however, expect, is to not see the familiar mop of black hair at the usual spot at the blue-bronze table. Momentarily he’s struck with disorientation, looking around for his best friend. Is Gareki skipping lunch? Yogi doesn’t know about that. But then he spots his best friend over at… huh. The Slytherin table? Gareki never sat at the Slytherin table before. Yogi knows his best friend has a friend or two in the serpentine house, but he never sat at their table before. Very strange. Very unusual.

Yogi cocks his head to the right.

He needs to know more about this.

A mischievous smile spreads on his face, as he approaches the table with long strides, hoping to pounce on Gareki, but as he comes closer, the people and their expressions become more apparent and… well… Yogi stops dead in his steps, when he notices the gentle expression on his best friend’s face.

Gareki is… almost… smiling…

The blue eyes are tinkling strangely and there’s a hint of color on the otherwise pale cheeks. The boy next to him, a redhead with very scary teeth, is grinning, talking animatedly. They look… happy.

Something strange and painful pulls at Yogi’s heart at the same moment as the warm feeling of happiness makes him smile. It confuses him. Why would he feel pain, if his friend is obviously happy? Gareki desperately needs more friends to make him happy, Yogi has always thought that. But Gareki is almost smiling and Yogi can recount the times that has happened on the fingers of one hand, each and every one of them a precious, guarded and treasured memory. It makes him feel strange to not be a part of it, and at the same time curious.

He really needs to know this person.

So without further ado, he puts the grin back into it’s place and bounces towards the table, not bothering to announce himself. That would spoil the surprise.]

Here you are! I was wondering where you were!

[It says something about his and Gareki’s friendship, that the other boy doesn’t even flinch, a thing, that cannot be said about the rest of the table. Especially the redhead looks like he just spit his heart out.]

Merlin’s bloody beard, are you INSANE?!

[Yogi flashes him his brightest grin and slides effortlessly between them.]

Hi! We don’t know each other yet, but I’m Yogi, Gareki’s best friend and you seem to be close, so I thought I should introduce myself! You are?

[The redhead just scowls. Hm, guarded like Gareki then? Yogi wonders how they spend time together.]

Rin.

[The redhead - Rin - finally grumbles, so quiet that Yogi almost doesn’t catch it. Oh, he’s shy then? That’s cute! Yogi smiles encouragingly and quips.]

Hi Rin!

[Rin looks away and across the table. Yogi follows his gaze and sees a brunette with an unusual shade of blue eyes share a look with Rin. Oh, wordless communication, that’s pretty cool! So Rin is able to form such a kind of bond? Maybe that’s how he communicates with Gareki as well? There’s that strange pull again, but the part of Yogi, that appreciates the beauty of such a bond, is stronger.

He waves a hand at the brunette in greeting.]

Hi!

[The brunette’s face goes blank. Oh, he’s shy too then? Maybe all Slytherin’s are and that’s why they keep their distance from everyone? Aww, that’s cute! He tells them this aloud. They stare some more.]

RIN

[After the first five minutes Rin is pretty sure, that he actually died and landed in hell.

Because.

Yogi. Won’t. Stop. Talking!

The words just flow out of the blonde’s mouth in a torrent now, and he’s practically draped over Rin, as he keeps talking and talking, while still being able to eat without being disgusting and Merlin how does he do that? Rin is pretty sure he looks pleadingly at Gareki several times, but it turns out his… what are they exactly? … his no-idea-what-but-not-actually-important-right-now is a little shit and just ignores him completely. If Rin didn’t know better, he’d say the Ravenclaw is trying not to laugh at him. The nerve of him!

What’s worse, Rin’s head is starting to hurt and he’s starving. Sousuke has dragged him out on the broom this morning and Rin had said yes, because why not, and he obviously had no idea it would turn into a competition, because it’s not like everything turns into a competition with them. He’s tired and starving, and Yogi is making his head hurt.

Okay, but the way this guy keeps talking is getting creepy. Creepier than Sousuke’s schoolboy crush on their coach, which Rin sometimes could swear is reciprocated (and okay no, he did not need that mental image over his lunch, thank you very much), and that is already giving Rin enough chills as it is. But this? Where does the dude even find that many words?! And holy spirits of Uhuru, how does Gareki deal with this every day?!

This is insane.

Sousuke isn’t helping either, the traitor, trying his best to make himself as small and invisible as possible (you know, with everything his best friend packs and whatnot), after the goldilocks’ has waved at him, like they are best friends.

Yogi is dangerous.

This is the conclusion Rin has reached so far. And if the blonde menace gets any closer, Rin will demand a restriction order, or better yet, put up a protego totalum each time Yogi is as far as down the hall. Rin usually doesn’t mind physical contact, but this is too much. He barely knows this guy, so why does he have to put up with having him all over his back?!

That’s the exact moment when Yogi’s hand moves from where it’s been resting against his shoulder to put his arm around them and oh Merlin, does this guy have no idea about personal space whatsoever?!]

You don’t have to be shy, don’t worry I don’t bite. [Yogi says with a smile and in a voice that’s probably supposed to be quiet and reassuring, which, surprisingly, hits the note quite well, but the problem is, his breath tickles Rin’s ear, and Rin is just. So. Done.

That’s the figurative last drop, right there.

The fact that he feels heat in his cheeks does not make it any better either.]

Oh my god, can you just get off my back?!!

[He springs to his feet, arms raised from where he straightened up to shake the blonde menace off. The blonde menace, who gives him a look like Rin has punched him between those… oh wow, purple eyes. Almost like a rainbow and- NO, MATSUOKA, YOU ARE UPSET, GET IT TOGETHER.]

There’s this thing called personal space!

Uh… I… Uhm… I’m sorry… [Yogi stammers, cringing, looking like he almost… expects that punch and yeah, congratulations Matsuoka, you made and asshole of yourself. In front of your no-idea-what-but-not-actually-important-right-now’s best friend. Very mature.

The idea to apologize crosses his mind after he’s already stormed out of the great hall.

He’s halfway back to the dorm, when he realizes he’s still starving.]

Mornings

[It's been a month since the start of the new term and so far, about nothing has stayed the same. A lot of teachers have quit over the summer, and well... The castle seemed far emptier now. Especially so in the early mornings, when he took his jog. Eerily silent, empty and cold, but that might have been the weather. A year ago the silence has been a comfort to Sano, a time when he could rest his mind and work his body, away from the usual rush. Now it just made him feel strangely alone. Which is why he's always happy when people join him on his run, or he'll take a stop when he sees an early bird, or the lights in the groundkeeper's hut still flicker. If it's just him trying to chase his ghosts away, well... No one has to know that.]

Days

[The days are now as uneventful as mornings. There's either afternoon class, or a morning class, or a house quidditch team practice, which are usually fun, but not as they used to be. He's enjoying them for the most part, but he thinks he catches a few students - especially the older ones - giving him a strange look. Not that it's a secret what happened. A lot of teachers left over the summer. A lot.

He usually just gives them a smile in turn and soldiers through the training with the usual practiced energy and zeal.

He decidedly ignores that part of his heart, that feels empty.]

Evenings

[Evenings are the worst. He used to love evenings, for the company he usually spent them in and the fun he had at this time of the day, but with almost everyone gone...

He spends a lot more time in Hog's head than he used to, that is, if he bothers to take the walk at all. Usually he just nurses his own whiskey and his own glass, in his own room. If there's a student knocking on his door late at night, it's always open, but he suspects the room seems less warm than it used to be.

But that might be just him.]

Hallways

[One of the hallways, or several of them, is very brightly clean. It hasn't been this clean in ages which confuses even the painting (also cleaned) on the walls. The armors are absolutely glittering with light.

The cause for this can be found from one of the uncleaned hallways, cleaning intensely. It looks like he is very focused on what he's doing... but if you think he doesn't notice anyone, you thought wrong.]

If I go back to that hallway and notice any marks left by your shoes, I will personally make you clean it all over again.

[This is a promise, not a threat. And he seems serious.]

Transfiguration

[Once the class comes to the lesson for the first time, they will notice a tiny Lynx sitting on top of the teachers' table. The classroom is eerily clean and arranged and the Lynx seems to look at every single person walking through the door.]

[OOC: Anyone familiar with ~famous~ aurors would know that the Lynx form due to its tininess belongs to Levi.]

backtobasics

Outside

[During the summer, Shiraishi was able to transform fully into his animagi form. Since he also registered himself with the help of the headmistress, he's very much allowed to wonder outside in said form... which is what he does when it's getting cold and a fur is a much better way to store some warmth.

Shiraishi is a Fennex Fox and his left front leg has white stripes that stand out, like his bandages normally do. He's usually relaxing somewhere, finding comfort in sleeping in piles of leaves... but he can sometimes be playful and chase something like a snitch if he feels like it.

Just some carefree life every once in a while.]

Hallways

[What he probably isn't meant to be doing with his animagi form is trying to sneak into houses that aren't his, namely Ravenclaw or Slytherin, but since he has a chance like this, why not? It would be fun to sleep in the same bed with either Niou or Kenya, even if he'd have to stay as a fox all night.

Of course he's not that small so it's still a bit challenging... but he's feeling adventurous.]

enchantressofore

[ God, she's beat.

Almost too dramatically Adela flops unto her favourite comfy chair in the library, heaving a sigh once she does. Getting back into Quidditch is a little tiring (if only because she'd fallen out of practice over summer without much chance to practice), but the real kicker is all the harder subject matter for her courses. She hasn't even had a chance to greet any of her friends there yet, and that sucked because that was what she was looking forward to the most throughout the summer...

Well, time to get back to work.

Adela ends up sitting with her legs over one of the chair's arms, pulling her history of magic textbook out of her bag and reading it, having a mechanical pencil out to mark passages. Easier to use than a quill in this position so she doesn't end up spilling ink or something silly like that. Maybe if she's lucky, she'll see her friends during the first hogsmeade weekend of the year or something. Or maybe get a chance to talk to Rin (Okumura) again outside of class or trying to tutor him. She could hope for that kind of luck, anyway. ]

[[OoC: So someone's been hit hard by 5th year at first. Seriously though let's try to pump some life back into this community! ]]

[Kenmare, Kerry, Republic of Ireland]

[For the most part, Sano enjoys the summer break. He enjoys the free time, which he mostly uses on fixing his house up, drinking in the evening with friends and his brothers, or just relaxing outside, enjoying the view of the ocean, from where he's living on the top of the hills, just outside of Kenmare. On the rare occasion that it's not raining, that is. Which so far, have been maybe 3 days in total.

And that's the one part of summer that Sano can't stand. The constant rain. Because rain also means...

When the daily ear-piercing cries break out, Sano can only sigh, from where he's sitting on the roof, replacing some of the thatch. He glances over his shoulder to the nearby bushes with a scowl on his face. It's been cloudy and humid all day, and Sano can feel the approaching rain in his bones. He doesn't need his domesticated family of Augureys shrieking it for everyone to hear.]

A blind can see it's gonna rain, you can kindly shut up!

[Usually the cries get louder after that.

When the first drops start falling, Sano retreats back inside, pours himself a tea, or a whiskey and listens to the radio, or reads the newspaper. Sometimes he's not alone, his family, friends, wixes and muggles alike, visiting him. All in all, it's just another usual summer break.]

[BONUS: 6th July, backdated]

[Sano doesn't tend to broadcast, or altogether celebrate, his birthday much. He keeps thinking it's maybe the fact he's close to finishing his 3rd decade already, but to be honest it's probably just that the need to celebrate it has passed long ago. Maybe the summer when he turned 15 is to blame. It's a fact, that after that, the day gained a bit of a bitter tone he couldn't shake for a long time, and afterwards it just became... redundant. He's happy about the occasional letter, or a gift, when his close people remember him, but he stopped expecting it. So usually his birthdays are spent reading letters from far away friends, smiling about the occasional token of attention, and spending the evening by inviting his brothers and maybe a few nearby friends, to a drink. Humble and easy. Sometimes people surprise him with a visit, which he's happy about, since spending time with old friend is a good way to conclude another year in your life.]

Osaka

[Shiraishi had been very nervous to actually go through his idea of going back to Japan. It wasn't going to be a very long trip, but the risk of meeting his family members was high - and he really wanted to avoid any possible conflict.

To be extra careful, he's mostly hanging out in muggle clothes in the muggle parts of Osaka. He was enjoying some tea and resisted the temptation of adding some flavor to it with spells. Instead he tried using the normal muggle ways (looking quite like a fool if someone was watching). He should have gotten more into muggle world as a kid to learn something as basics as this.

Otherwise, he can be found wandering around or meeting your character in a designated place.]

Game Over?

[One of the main parts of the trip was for Shiraishi to meet with his younger sister, Yukari. The meeting had gone well and they had managed to talk about very many things.

Unfortunately, Yukari had been followed by their older sister Sayaka. She was determined to get their heir back home, so she had called some of the family servants to help her do that. Of course, that amount of well (wizardly) dressed servants was rather eye catching, but she didn't seem to care.]

Kura-nii, this wasn't...

I know, Yukari. This is all Sayaka-neesan's doing.

[Somehow, Sayaka had always been good at figuring out her sibling's movements, so he shouldn't be surprised that this happened. Yet he had taken the risk, with the hope that she wouldn't pull a stupid stunt in the muggle side.]

Let's go home, Kuranosuke.

It doesn't look like I have much of a choice, huh?

Sydney, Australia

[The one thing Rin hates about summer break? He's too far away from everyone. He loves the summer break, but he misses his friends greatly, and this year, he's got a boyfriend to miss as well.

The good thing? He's got great foster parents, who allow visits. And the fact that the portkey and floo powder system developed a lot in the last decade, allowing effective long distance travelling, with scheduled times and public exits. It still is a pain though sometimes, especially when there's a line all the way to the barrier to the Muggle world.

Which is why Rin had spent the last weeks of the school year, convincing people to come and visit. Sousuke, Adela, Seth... basically anyone. Russel and Lori always prepare the guest room, Winnie, the dog, jumps up and down, feverishly welcoming the new visitors, Gou is a satan's child in angel's disguise and everything is perfect.

They go to the beach, even if it's winter in the southern hemisphere, because the beach is one of the best parts Sydney has to offer, they spend their evenings in downtown Sydney, or even camping in the outback, if it's snot too cold. You know. As long as the environment doesn't decide it wants you dead.]

A. Just Like a Circus.
[ Diagon Alley. No matter what time of year it was, this particular part of the wizard world seemed to never stop being busy. The streets were thick with people, some he recognized from various places (dirty dealings or school, take your pick) and some were strangers. But it was the two rambunctious children that raced squealing past him, their mother yelling after them to behave or their father would be cross with them, that caught his attention.

It wasn't a forethought, per say. But somewhere in Gareki's mind, he wondered if he could have ever had that kind of normalcy in his own youth. Instead, his mind was filled with the knowledge that his parents sold him off and that he had just enough good fortune to wind up with adoptive siblings, albeit very poor ones that often left him feeling guilty.

The children giggled despite their mother, and he silently stuck his hands in his pockets as he sidestepped their angry mother, keeping himself forward toward Gringotts. ]

B. Too Hot, It's Really Too Hot!
[ The thing about summer was that while Gareki didn't mind the heat, it also didn't mean he liked it. Some days just made him feel like he was boiling from the inside out, and today was one of them. This only meant he was in a miserable mood, wishing more than ever it would cool down already. ]

Tch. Even a little rain would make this better.

[ Sweat beaded on his brow, leaving him to reach up to wipe at it with his forearm, a small disgusted grumble following as he rolled his shorts higher and slipped his feet out of his shoes. He waded into a fountain, not caring how it would look to anyone. ]

C. You're the City Lights
[ It's night time in the middle of downtown London. If Gareki bothered to look at his mobile, it would probably tell him that it was sometime around 9 PM. Not that time really mattered, when he promised to be there in ten minutes.

While the daytime was uneventful, Gareki had business now. Business of the strangely legitimate kind. Sort of.

In a dark alley, he rested against a brick wall waiting. And, within minutes he was greeted by a man with mousy hair and a shifty nature about him that set him apart from Gareki. The meeting didn't take long, but there was an exchange of money for a slip of paper, and a promise that Gareki would get his shipment of phones by the end of the week.

Gareki pocketed the paper and made his way back out, down the street. ]

angelicaltruism

[ IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE! First she's there, waiting to hear back from her friends, who've become like family to her...

And the next moment she's -- in some magical nonsense school, told to wear their school uniform (still not wearing it, can't force this girl out of her pink clothes!), some h a t is sorting her into some place called Gryffindor and then she's supposed to go find their Common Room or whatever else there is to do. Oh and she's supposed to catch up with these magical studies as fast as possible??

So congratulations, now there's one new arrival anywhere around the hallways. Possibly looking like she might explode of rage, other times looking like she might worry herself sick about something. ...And then who is not used to the moving stairs? This girl. She looks surprised whenever they start moving under her while she's sitting on them, but that's it.

Really, what is this tiny girl supposed to do here?]

soldierofloveandbeauty

Around
[It had been a couple of months since the attack and she had been told that she had to come clean about her situation to the people who witnessed it. After all you couldn't exactly lie about someone trying to kill you. The young blonde was quite nervous about it as she wondered the halls, grounds and even the Great Hall to find the people who had seen her either at the Hospital Wing or had witness her incident.

When she spotted them, she walked on over, hands lightly in front of her as her nerves were starting to show.]

Excuse me? Can I talk to you about something?

backtobasics

Great Hall / Hufflepuff table

[It's probably not that weird anymore that Hogwarts gets a visitor from Japan. This time there isn't a commotion in the Great Hall because of it, at least. No, this time the visitors quietly wait for their escort and greet anyone who comes close politely.

What is different is that there's someone hiding from said visitors under the Hufflepuff table. Shiraishi had dodged under the minute he'd seen familiar faces walk through the door and there he was determined to be until they would be gone.

They might have not been his family, but Oshitari and Shiraishi families were very closely connected, so it would have meant trouble if he was spotted.]

Hallways/Courtyard/Outside

[The rest of the day proves to be rather difficult. Shiraishi does his best to attend all of his classes. Everything goes well once he's in said classes, because there's no way they would come to one of the classes unexpected. It's moving from class to class that's proving to be problematic.

Shiraishi is escaping to cleaning closets and behind larger armors, sometimes even empty classrooms (or maybe they're not empty - maybe there's a teacher inside). Anywhere he can get to escape from familiar voices sounding from the hallways. Sometimes he even hides on false alarms, just to be sure.

His master piece must be the time when he climbed to a tree to avoid being seen on his way to the greenhouses.

Really, he should have called in sick. That was just risky as well, because they were healers, those Oshitaris. Of course they'd go to the infirmary and with his luck he'd have run into them when asking for a sick leave.

What a day this was proving to be.]

olympic_shark

A) About a week before exams (backloged)

[It's a weeks before OWLs and Rin still hasn't the corporeal Patronus down. The DADA OWLs are in the first week already so this is something he's got to master. Think of something happy, he keeps telling himself. Think of your sister, or quidditch, of your friends, of Seth. But nothing seems to work. He'd be worried by the fact, that he can't think of a single memory of great happiness in his life, if he wasn't so busy being annoyed by his inability.]

Damnit!!!

[When he's not somewhere outside working on his patronus, he's either in the library, or in the common room, spending every single minute learning, writing essays, or otherwise preparing himself. He's caught up with everything, so he's not all that worried - maybe a little nervous... A LITTLE - but he's never been one to be idle. Besides, the more reviewing he can get in, the better. He's going for straight Outstandings.]

B) Exam week 1 (pick a date, or use the current one)

(06.-08. 06.)

[The hardest one on the first three days are Transfiguration and Herbology. Transfiguration, because the subject is challenging, but still interesting and one of Rin's favorites, and Herbology, because Rin and plants, that can kill you is not a good combination. He's tired.]

(09. 06.)

[Rin breathes deeply through his nose, as he waits with the other to be let into the examination room. He's got this. He's totally got this. He learned and trained like mad. He knows all the theory, and he practiced the spells until his hands were falling off. He knows he knows it. And he is NOT nervous, his stomach is NOT doing circus-worthy acrobatics, and he is DEFINITELY NOT trembling ever so slightly. He's the epitome of cool. He is the BOSS. He'll totally RULE THIS ONE.]

(10. 06.)

[Finally Friday. He's got the weekend to prepare himself and the last hurdle to master are Ancient Runes. Which are fine. They make sense. Except when he drops his guard down and confuses them, which he hopes won't happen. Needless to say, he's doing some last minute reviewing to busy himself.]

devilishhikaru

Hogsmeade; Locked to Adela (and stalkers)

[On one of the Hogsmeade weekends in May, Hikaru needed a break from all the studying he had done for O.W.L.s. What better way to relax than a weekend while shopping. Normally, he'd do this with Kaoru, but as it is, Hikaru wanted to give him a chance to go out with Naminè. So instead he had another person in mind.

Someone who really, really needed some fashion advice for the coming summer.

Slightly nervously, Hikaru waited Adela at the entrance of Hogsmeade. He wasn't really sure why he was so nervous all of a sudden. It's just shopping for Merlin's sake.

Though he would get to see Adela in different sort of clothes. That would be interesting. Quietly he escaped into his thoughts about this.]

overexertion

Great Hall

[Truth to be told, Sousuke had been expecting visitors from Japan. More than just one, in fact.

There had been going rumors that someone from the Oshitari family would be coming to see his shoulder. This was a guest Sousuke would have gladly accepted anytime and without warnings. Pomfrey had been doing her best, but a little extra help wasn't going to hurt. Though the main fact was that they would be able to break the curse.

The second guest was his father, Kenshiro, who was more than likely coming to Hogwarts without a warning.

Unfortunately, that's the guest Sousuke received on that day. They stood there, in the Great Hall, staring at one another from a distance.

Sousuke really resembled his father a lot. It was almost like looking at a before-and-after age spell shenanigans. Sousuke had almost grown taller than his father, but not quite.]

You're late. Friday the 13th was last week.

[As expected, there was no reaction from the man, other than a displeased frown.]

Sousuke, I've come to pick you up since you've refused to come home by yourself.

What, not going to wait until I get my O.W.L.s out of the way? That's kind of waste.

You will be doing a lot harder tests once we get home. Now go fetch your things.

Or what, you'll curse me again? [Sousuke shook his head.] I'm not going to leave Hogwarts, so you're wasting your time, old man.

[It's about time he left this conversations. He manages to turn around when his father talks once again in a voice firmer than before.]

It's a shame. I suppose I really need to give my opinion about a certain friend of yours to the Auror office. They do listen to my advice rather intently.

[Oh god, he did not just say that. Sousuke turns around fast and almost throws a punch at his father, but instead managed to keep his cool - well, he does look furious.]

Leave him out of this, you bastard!

[They would be here or a while, arguing about this situation. Neither seems to care if they have audience or not.]

Post-war

[Eventually, Kenshiro gets driven off and Sousuke slumps back to his seat at the Slytherin table. Later he can also be found from either a) outside b) at the quidditch pitch or c) at the Slytherin common room. He seems seemingly exhausted over today's stupidity, but at least he's won this fight - for now.]

otterofthesea

[Momotarou's one of the students who aren't doing any ~big tests~ soon, but many of his friends and even his brother is, so he knows how that is. The only thing he can offer is to play a game to relax everyone.

There's a stand set up outside. On the stand it reads 'Survival Game'. Characters for four member teams and you all get limitless amount of water guns (provided by Momotarou). You fight as a team to take out another team (two teams at a time) and the one who has more members left in the end is the winner.

The water gun waters are color coded for each team for simplicity.

No magic allowed.]

angriff

Great Hall

[Because June is near, Great Hall is often transformed into a study space between when its not used for eating. That's where you can find Eren, desperately trying to read through all of his subjects he's taking for O.W.L.s. Just his luck to end of in a year that has major tests like this right off the bat!! At least Mikasa has been helping him and it's been easier on him, but there's still so much work to do.

While he's reading his charms text book, he's also practicing a few spells like levitating a book in the air, since practical exams are also a part of the whole thing.

This is worse than all the military exams he's ever had.]

Late Afternoon, Grounds/Roof

[ Another day... Another day when most of her friends are studying for OWLs or busy in some way.

Adela sighs heavily to herself as she made her way to the Quidditch Pitch, intent on flying just to kill some time by herself. Maybe she should be studying, but honestly she's confident enough in all of her classes, knowing that at the time she's scoring either Es or Os across the board, coming closer to a perfect score everywhere. So she's not really worried about grades...

Why are most of her friends in the year above?

Eventually she takes to the air, and if not stopped she's going to head to her favourite spot on the roof. Watching the sky as the sun sets lower and changes its colour is relaxing, but now it has an edge of loneliness that's more prominent than it's ever been. When did she start missing hanging out with all of them, even if it's just to laugh over stupid stuff like what happened in classes or things like that?

Probably what has her the most down about all of it is that she'll have this feeling on a daily basis over the summer, too. ]

Least it's a clear night...

[ She mumbles it to herself as she makes herself comfortable, hands pillowing her head and letting her broom rest on her, simply so that it won't fall. At least this way she's choosing to be alone, sort of. ]

Early Evening (Before Curfew or possibly going into it), Library

[ Dinner, as always, was pretty nice, but now she's alone again. Even tutoring Rin only takes up some of her time, and now she's in the library with the intent of reviewing her work but... Well, she's distracted. If she had OWLs to study for it might have been a problem but since she doesn't it's more of her brain idling as she's unable to really do much of anything else.

When she hears someone approaching she immediately perks from where she'd been resting her head, the girl now becoming alert as she looks them over. ]

Uh... Hey.

Outside

[It's another regular day in Yosuke's life. This young Gryffindor is being very useful for the society as always-- by being stuck in what seems to be a magical trash can. A new invention that is supposed to help deal with trash, but it seems this one was malfunctioning and ate up Yosuke half-way.

So he's basically rolling around and trying to fight it off.

What a day.]

Hallways

[At least he seems to have gotten out as he's walking around later in the day. It seems he doesn't have much to do, so he might as well walk around and see if there's anything he can do to actually feel a bit more useful. Not that he's found anything so far.]
