Offices + Around
[The smell of blood over the past few weeks had been awful and he's refused to ask for any blood himself. So instead he had always found himself trying his hardest to focus on finishing the blood tablets that he had spent the past couple months trying to figure out.

He had been so close and now that he leant back looking at the little box that was between his fingers, he just needed someone other than himself to test them out. Moving the box between his fingers the thoughts just kept going through his mind about how they could work. So moving to get up from behind his desk he put them in to his pockets before heading off, looking for another like him.]


Around at night
[Aidou was on patrol for the evening, so far he had only taken one blood tablet and it seemed like for him so far it wasn't making him any less hungry. He wasn't sure how long it would be until he felt that urge to bite someone, but for now his focus was on seeing if anyone else was out.

If he heard something he would speak out at least.]


What brings you out at night?
ouranhostking: (Always ready to serve the Princess)
[personal profile] ouranhostking
Dinner in the great hall was not only early, but fairly short. Everyone had to be out of the hall by six so that preparations for the party could be made, and when everyone was allowed back in at the start of the party it had transformed entirely.

The large tables normally used for meals now lined two sides of the great hall, holding a great variety of finger foods, drinks, and desserts that would continuously refill throughout the night. The ceiling above still reflected the night sky, but along its edges and throughout the walls were balloons, ribbons, and flowers of vast variety, with the most numerous of the flowers being white, pink, and red roses. All of of the flowers seemed to be emitting just enough light to effectively illuminate the Great Hall, giving it a - for lack of better term - rosey feel. At one corner near where the staff table normally stood was a group of string instruments, charmed into playing a selection of classical dance music as soon as the first students not involved with set-up stepped into the hall.

That was when Tamaki Suoh, a sixth year student and primary organizer of the dance, appeared at the front of the hall, smiling wide and dressed in an ivory-white tuxedo. He waved his wand briefly before he spoke, his voice magically projected with a charm so that he could be heard above any din that might happen with everyone's arrival.

"Welcome, everyone! I'm pleased to present you with our Hogwarts Valentine's Dance, and I hope you enjoy your time here tonight! Feel free to eat, drink, dance, and be merry in a break from studies and winter cold! Also keep in mind the Dance King and Queen contest, which can be anonymously voted for by you, the students, for the final spotlight dance at midnight tonight, as well as a prize of house points to the winners! Now, let the party begin!"

Prompt 1: Desserts, Drinks, and Wallflowers
Perhaps you're taking a break, enjoying the spread, and watching the other students dancing at various paces in different styles on the floor. Maybe you don't intend to go out onto the floor at all, because the chairs at the sides of the hall are just too comfortable or because you don't want to look like that idiot on the left. You know the one. Either way, congregating at the hors d'oeuvres can be a perfectly acceptable way to pass the night.

Prompt 2: Shut up and Dance
It is a dance party, after all! Grab a partner, whether it's ballroom dancing or just doing your own thing! Granted, the latter might get you some funny looks, but who cares as long as you're having fun? The smell of flowers is quite invigorating, the stars of the enchanted ceiling are above, and there's nothing more important than you and whoever your partner is, whether you know them intimately or have only met them for the first time tonight.

Prompt 3: A Breath of Fresh Air
Maybe the party is a little overwhelming, and you need to step away further from the hall than just sitting near the walls. Although no one is really supposed to leave the dance area for an extended period, who will know if you decide to use the loo as an excuse to get away for a few minutes? Maybe you just want to be somewhere more private, either by yourself or with someone else. Be careful not to get caught though, or it might be detention for you!

Prompt 4: "Love" is in the air?
Uh oh! We have no idea who, but someone seems to have spiked one of the punch bowls with a love potion! This potion is scentless and tasteless, and because the punch bowl is huge (and ever refilling) the effects are, thankfully, greatly weakened in comparison to a normal love potion. This little bit of mischief might result in some of the student body (or even some of the faculty) being a little more openly affectionate than usual with the first person they meet for the night, so a little bit of caution might be necessary. At least it's not at full potency!

Prompt 5: A moment in time that lasts forever!
A professional photographer has been hired to take pictures of students throughout the night! Although it might not be the last memory of the school year, it could be a night you want to cherish forever even if it’s just in a photograph! Is a photo an embarrassing moment or a precious time captured on a special slip of paper?

Prompt 6: Write your own Love Story!
Come up with your own prompts and have a ball AT the ball!

OoC: A note, there will be separate threads for Dance King/Queen contest sign-ups, as well as a contest for best-dressed and an attendance register that will be used to award a door prize drawn by lottery! The prizes are as follows; 50 House Points to 1st place, 25 to 2nd place, and 10 to 3rd place in their respective contests, and a 20 galleon gift receipt for Honeydukes (courtesy of Tamaki pulling some strings with the owner) as a door prize!

There will be a thread below for students to vote on Dance King/Queen, and the best dressed will be decided by members of staff specifically. RNG will be used to determine the door prize. Alright, have fun guys!

A NOTE ABOUT DANCE KING/QUEEN: Although the titles are gendered, who can be entered into each category is not! A boy can be the queen, a girl can be the king, and any combination can happen. The only limitation is that there will be two winners selected from the entrants in the contest!

Dungeon - Potions Classroom

[Fai had come and gone and had found himself back again. He didn't mind honestly, he just knew that he wanted to continue with the class he had done before. So usually he could be found mixing up a potion or two for those that had requests for the most part. If not, he was giving a class and doing practical. But for the most part his focus was fully on making potions.]

A) Classes

[The life of a 6th year student in Hogwarts is hard. Yogi can usually get through most of his classes well enough, but there are some, that just make his head spin. The OWLs for Transfiguration and DADA had not been this challenging, right? He's tryng to make sense of the stuff the Professors are on about, but there are times he just feels like giving up. Hirato is going to kill him, if he catches wind of his recent grades, he just knows it.

What's saving him is Herbology and Care for Magical Creatures. It's always relaxing to not think and just handle plants, or ride Hippogriffs. Once you got the hang of it, extracting the Snargaluff pod became rather easy. It was all a matter of timing.]


B) Elsewhere

[Between lessons Yogi takes the time to visit the library. Most people who know him are usually stunned to see him there, but if he wants to pass at least half of his NEWTs, he needed to do something for it, as much as he hates sitting over books, which usually ends up with him crying over 'Advanced Transfiguration'.

He never stays in there longer than necesary anyways and can soon be seen roaming the corridors with that wide smile on his face, smelling faintly of roses, or talking to people. Or tackle-glomping them into a hug, with varying degrees of success.]


B) Hufflepuff stuff (hey, that rhymed! xD)

[When lessons are over and the afternoon slowly fades into the evening, he likes to chill out in the common room, doing some residual homework, while sighing a lot, sewing, or knitting something, surrounded by mountains of fabric, or yarn, or just cuddling with his cat, that's gently purring in his lap, while quietly listening to music from the piano, or the buzz around him.]

Library - Evening

[Aidou rather enjoyed sending is evenings and nights in the library studying and writing his own findings on things he picked up every so often and then adding in more detail than the books seemed to have. It was just the way he did things and the way he probably had been brought up to do. After all he was the only son, a lot was probably expected of him.

Finishing another book he placed it on his already somewhat large pile of books to the side before moving onto the next one.]


Office - In-between classes

[Aidou had managed to make a nice little place nap between classes. Sure there was not a lot of classes he had to do and so some gaps in lessons were bigger than others, but when there were gaps, he was always quick to take a nap. He hated working in the mornings, but he was glad he could make up for the lack of sleep by taking a nap in the office.]

Outside School

[He couldn't help but sigh slightly. He had just been transferred to Hogwarts for reasons he wished he didn't have to do sometimes. Why his mother thought this was a bright idea was anyone's actual guess. But he had little to no choice more often than not, but with a slightly pull of his chest he slowly but surely started to lug the huge thing toward the front doors.

Maybe someone could use a little help but isn't admitting to it.]


After Sorting: Finding his way to the common room.

[He had been sorted into a house, which was a first for him really, but he had been sorted into the Gryffindor house and now it was the case of figuring out where it was. Which was another matter altogether. As he walked, lugging the giant chest behind him, he was trying to figure out where he was and how to get to the common room to drop his things off.]

Excuse me? Can you help?

I: Transfiguration Class

[Her lessons aren't so complicated. The first years will be reviewing the Transfiguration formula and taking notes with their books. t = (w x c) / (v x a) where (t) is the intended transformation, (a) bodyweight, (v) viciousness, (w) wand power, (c) concentration and a fifth unknown variable (Z) which is usually treated as a constant. Second years will be turning rats into cups. Third years will be reviewing Vanishment. Forth years will be talking about Conjuration and it's limits.

Fifth and sixths years will have study time for their O.W.L.'s with Terra open for questions.]


II: Office Hours.

[Terra can be found in her office grading papers or you might find a cat which is purring softly on Terra's chair in place of the usual gentle teacher.

Her door is always open for anyone who wants to talk.]


III: Wishing for Flowers

[The young teacher can be found anywhere around school. With a flick of her wrist she might make flowers appear on either side of the main hall. With Christmas decorations away there was a lack of color in the Hogwarts and Terra doesn't really like it.]

QUIDDITCH PRACTICE OF ANY KIND

[The one thing that Sano liked about January was, that two months after the Quidditch season started, a lot more students started to take interest in it and gathered enough courge to be willing to try. Though sometimes it took a bit of convincing on his part, but if he knew he student wanted to play, he wouldn't give in. Sometimes people needed a little push. So it happens, that he's got some more private lessons than he anticipate, but that's all fine with him. He doesn't mind coaching young talents for future generations of his beloved sport. And even if the skill doesn't come natrally, all you needed was determination and discipline. There's no amount of talent that could measure up to hard work.

Of course he's still coaching the house teams as well, usually during the afternoon. Practice is ain full gear now, with the house cup up and running, the point piling up more rapidly than the coins in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. No matter the weather, Sano's up his broom and instructing the player almost every day now, sometimes even twice a day, yelling out various instructions as he's at it.

It's a wonder no one has found him slumped in his chair in the referee's room, trying to catch his breath yet. The amount of flying is slightly getting to him, but it's still bearable. He's more exhausted than he should be, but he's mostly okay. A few minutes of rest and a goodnight of sleep usually do the trick.]


TIME OFF

[The other thing Sano likes about January is the National Quidditch League. Being a former pro player he's got a free entry to all of his former team's games, along with anyone who's in his company and if he wants to, he can usually convince people to get him free tickets for other games as well. It's not unusual to find him up on a Saturday morning, dressed in his casual robes, heading out of the castle, towards Hogsmead, where he can apparate to whichever stadion the game's held at.

His colleagues and friends usually know what he's up to, since he tends to randomly invite them, in case they feel like seeing a game. He's alwayshappy for company and he won't let anyone, who wants to see a goood game, miss their opportunity. They either meet him up before heading to Hogsmead together, or outside of the village on a designated meeting point.]

School Grounds

[Michiko was use to being outdoors, after all she lived in the woods before she found herself coming here. But she was glad to be here, away from that home and that life. Even if it was only for a few months as they told her already. But in her mind that was more than enough time to do what she wanted. To learn and maybe find something in the big open world so that she wan't trapped any more.

However even she knew there were some things that even she couldn't help but keep doing. One of the things was always to spend the time outside, taking in the cold fresh air and just feeling the breath on his skin. Moving to sit down, she felt the grass and snow between her fingers as she just let it all sink in.]

Defense Against the Dark Arts Class
[For those who were use to another teacher will be getting a surprise when a blond vampire, who still looked like he should be in his final year of school and not teaching it walked in and toward the front. As he got to his desk he turned around, putting the book on the table, before giving a wide smile. It was almost like he could sparkle if he smiled any more.]

Welcome to class~ I'm Hanabusa Aidou and I will be your new teacher. Now open your books and we'll get right now to business, okay?

[He was quick to move though and close each and every curtain. Even though he is fine in the sunlight. He just finds it bothersome at best. The candles that are around should be enough light.]

Great Hall
[Aidou really was use to the finer things in life. Fancy food and clothes, so when he had seen what was on offer his face dropped slightly. Really, what the heck was even half of this stuff and how on earth did people willingly eat such things. He couldn't help but push his plate away, he wasn't going to eat any of the main stuff at least, but he knew he had to wait for the dessert and maybe later other things if he was allowed.]

Corridors at Night
[Aidou was more than happy to do the night shifts when it comes to making sure students were in there dorms and not wondering the corridors. It helped for him to use that time also to do what he deep down wanted to. After all there were no blood tablets so he had to get his blood elsewhere. But the how he would do it was another matter altogether.]

Courtyard

[What a place to wake up in the middle of winter. Eren's wearing his normal military clothes (without his gear) but it's not the most convenient clothes for lying in the snow. Why is he lying in the snow? Well, that's just how he arrived to this placed, after being in his titan form in an entirely different place.

It hasn't quite struck him that he's there quite yet, since he's feeling fatigued. It had been one of the more intense practice runs with Hanji, so there's no mistake he's very tired.

... but damn it is cold. Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Was this a byproduct as well?]

PRELUDE cut part - County of Kerry, Republic of Ireland )

[It was the morning of December the 30th and his mother calling him a "failure content with his wretched existence" for a bazillionth time, that had sent him packing and in spite of Quinn's insistence, through the fireplace the same hour. He hadn't headed straight to Hogwarts though, no. He had flooed over to his place, where he had grabbed his broom and flown all the way to the castle.

Bad idea.

While it was an effective way of venting the steam off, the south coast of Ireland and the Scottish Highlands were not a 5 minute flight, no matter how fast your broom was, and there was a good reason why he had been forced to quit Quidditch. 8 hours of flight were simply just not doable anymore.]


ARRIVAL - Castle grounds, anywhere (inside, outside)

[Sano landed on the white snow ground of Hogwarts, barely even able to see. He had flown without a single stop, through the cold air, could barely feel his limbs and with some parts of his body probably frozen off. He felt faint and sick and like he was about to spit out all of his inner organs, but at least he was back. Back to the castle, back to where there was warmth and love and family. Over the year he had taught there, Hogwarts had managed to become his second home. A safe place to return to, when your own home became a pain. Not that he considered his mother's place his home.

He leaned himself on the castle wall, wheezing for air and coughing, spitting out the blood out of his mouth, staining the pristine ground red. His head was spinning, whether from fatigue, or fever, he didn't know. What he knew was, he couldn't collapse now. He was back, he was safe now, all he had to do was get back to his room.]


Smart thinking, Harada. Real smooth. Bet ya look fetching now.

[He muttered to himself. He coughed a few more times, watching as the red drops fell to the ground, thinking that he should see the nurse in the morning and supporting himself by the wall, slowly made his way to his dorm. He should still have some whiskey around, that would warm him up. That and the amazing, hearth-like covers of his bed. If he collected himself enough, he might even light up his fireplace.

He just prayed to whoever was up there, that no residue student, or teacher, who hadn't left the castle for one reason or another, wouldn't find him. It wouldn't do to see the Quidditch referee and trainer this weak.]

A) Inside the castle, in front of a fireplace

[The one thing that Sano absolutely hated about Britain, was the weather. In his free time, besides running, Sano liked taking walks around the castle, but this weather was not walk-friendly. Times like these he missed Japan's sunshine and warmth. It wasn't that he couldn't deal with a little cold, it was the wet, morose, yucky part he had a problem with.

It was really no surprise to find him huddled in front of one of the many fire places these days, a steaming hot black tea next to him - may or may not be spiked with Irish Whiskey, or sake, reading the newspaper, or the "Quidditch Weekly" magazine, scowling about his former team's score. When he used to keep for them, they had a far better score. The new Keeper sucked.

Come to think of it, the Quidditch season would start soon. The schedule's been released already and the teams were working hard. The first game was around the corner and he looked forward to it already. He was wondering who would win~]


B) TEACHER'S DRINKING PARTY / Three Broomsticks (Closed, I suppose?)

[Because the days were getting colder and there were less and less things to do, one nice evening Sano decided, that it was time to start what he called "the party season". Meaning, snatch your colleagues, drag them to the Three Broomsticks and get them drunk make them have a little old-fashioned fun.]

One more round!

[He was paying it all and it would cost him his entire pay, but it wasn't like he had any big expenses this month (aside Halloween) and his bills were paid already. And socializing was important, especially between colleagues. His brother would probably call it team-building, or something like that. Sano called it "being a little crazy from time to time doesn't hurt".]

Finally the time has come for the school year to officially start. Hopefully those students who don’t seem to know a thing have caught up because now they’re going to have to follow along. Remember students, robes (uniforms) are required for class times at the very least. Oh, and do try to be prepared. Professors don’t exactly like it when students forget their supplies.

Here’s what’s going to go down in regards of these class time posts. There will be one a month for sure, but everyone is free to post their own threads in regards to classes and what not. These class time posts will be posted every 1st of the month (unless real life matters make it delayed because stuff happens). Rather than having many separate prompts to choose from, the easiest course of action would be to have the respective professors make a top level post with a description of the lessons.

Students are free to make their own top levels only if the particular class in question does not have a NPC professor in game. This is to ensure that the log stays fairly clean and organized. For the professors in game, there will be a particular thread for fellow professors to consult each other or just socialize.

So for the professors, just put your class as the subject and here are a few references for anyone who needs them:

Outside

[Terra has taken the time to explore the castle more, while getting to know her new duties here. She always had liked being close to the wilderness and this school was amiable in that regard. She walks along the lakes edge heading towards the forbidden forest. Her thin fingers are laced in front of her as she glances around the at the scene.

The breeze and nice and the air is clear. She's excited for classes but there is still some time until they begin.]


Classroom

[Terra isn't sure about her teaching abilities but She has always loved children and magic is something that courses through her very being. Her classroom is clean, the tomes organized in the two bookshelves that lined either side of the desk and to all appearances it looks empty.

The desk is placed so that it could look over the whole room, no matter what size. On the desk laid a cat with blond hair and startling purple eyes. It appears to be napping though looks can be deceiving. Behind the desk is a small raised stair case that leads to Terra's personal room.]
