[Great Hall]

[During the winter holiday, just before everyone (else) is preparing to leave for home, Sousuke has finally reached a decision of his own. So now that they're all still gathered, he should say what's on his mind, right?

After thinking about it and realizing how easy the answer actually had been, he bluntly walked over to the front where sorting ceremony was usually held and used a Sonorus spell on himself. If he's going to make a change, he'd better do it with a bang. At least this one last time.]

After thinking about it, I figured an answer, Sano. What I want to do with my life hasn't changed. It's always been the same and I was stupid to actually think the answer was more complicated than that.

I will officially state that I'm letting go of what's been making me a ticking timebomb. I want to be an honest athlete and compete with me abilities, not with violence. So any problems I have, I will solve on the field and not in a brawl in a corner. No matter what, I won't fight again.

[... and one last thing. Damn it.]

Kisumi... let's go on a real date. A Christmas date, if you will.

[That's embarrassing, but it should cut at least a few rumors Rin's managed to spread down about him and Sano and... he does want to go out with Kisumi and Merry Christmas fluffball?? He ends the spell he made and just silently walks away from the center before any teachers get him.]

[Wild card]

[Meet him after this silly stunt anywhere.]

overexertion

A. Around the Quidditch Pitch

[It was hard to stay away from the Quidditch Pitch even if you were indefinitely suspended. Somehow his body had its own mind, especially when it was time for Slytherin's practice. Luckily, he knew to stop in a spot that let him watch the practice, but not be seen unless they looked towards the direction closely enough. It would have been rather awkward to be caught in a place like that when he had been told he was suspended even from attending practice to just, well, just to be there with the others.

He watches the practice while clenching his hands into fists, feeling the urge to just march to the broom shed to just grab a broom and fly... but instead, he took a turn to leave the pitch before he could do anything stupid and just make his desire to play even worse.]

B. Hallways near Slytherin Dorms

[Later he was returning to dorms after studying a while longer at the library, trying to occupy his mind. He then stopped behind a corner, hearing familiar voices talk with each other. Some of the Slytherin Quidditch Team members.]

Man, it's much less tense with Yamazaki not giving you a death glare everyone now and then.

I know, right? I mean, captain's scary, but with him alone barking at us, it's easier to breathe. Hey, maybe if we're lucky, Yamazaki won't come back for a while. You might even get to play.

Haha, we'd lose some strength, but... heck, I'd take it over being intimated all the time. I'd work twice as hard for that.

With his temper, it's likely he's not coming back too, so better start now.

[Sousuke listened to the conversation and then just turned to leave instead of going to the the dorms after them. He made sure not to make a sound so they wouldn't notice he had listened on them, because what difference would that make?]

C. Lake

[Instead of going to the dorms, Sousuke opted to sitting by the lake, staring at the surface. Maybe if he stared long enough, he'd figure out something.... well, he could always hope.

Maybe it was better for the team if he didn't figure out his answer, the thought passed through his mind. Sighing, he moved to lay on the snowy ground, looking at the starry sky.

It was probably time for curfew, but he didn't feel like going back yet.]

overexertion

Quidditch practice

[Sousuke was getting ready to participate in practice when he noticed one of their teammates walking towards the pitch. He glanced over at Sousuke and quickly returned his gaze in front of him and continued walking.

The reason for that may be the magical band-aid over his nose. No matter what he says for the reason to cover things up, the real reason was stretching his muscles and looking nonchalantly at the fleeing back.

So someone might have laughed at him about the dance he had with Sano and that someone might have received a punch to the nose. Sousuke had just been on the edge that day.

Maybe he should at least apologize to the guy later... for now he'll just continue doing his stretches.]

Goodbye, Potions

[After being lectured by Aidou about yet another cauldron ruined, Sousuke just stood up from his seat and started walking out with his things. He's in a bad mood already so why even try to do something he really hates.]

Since I'm that much of a lost cause, I'm quitting.

[And so he walks out of the classroom door. Aidou seems to not stop him and just focuses back on teaching the class.

He can be found from the Great Hall after this, accompanied by an official 'Detention' paper for actually being so rude and ruining a cauldron - but also an official paper of quitting the Potions class.]

admiresmuscles

[Gou had just arrived at the school last night and she was exhausted so as she was trying to quietly eat her breakfast in the Great Hall, but she couldn't help but over hear a few things, but she couldn't make out actual sentences as she yawned. However she could at least hear her last name mentioned, which was enough to make her look over for a brief moment.

It was another minute before one of the male students took notice of her looking over, it slowly dawning on them that the new student they had heard about had the exact same last name. So it was long before he was asking the question of if she was related.]

Um... Yes. He's my big brother... Why do you ask?

[Gou soon found herself being asked various questions by most of the table and she couldn't help but feel somewhat awkward.., so many questions at once and she didn't understand why.]

frozenloyalty

Potions (Any year)

[Aidou had been a teacher since the start of the term. He still didn't quite get it why he had been sent to this world, but he had managed to adapt and make up a background story for himself. The biggest problem was that he still hadn't made his bloodtablets good enough... which he would have liked to focus on instead of classes.

Well, nothing says he needed to be in the classroom...]

The rest of the lesson is now going to be self-taught. I stayed up all night working on these classes, so I need to take a quick nap... I'll be back by the end of it to see how you did.

[In other words: figure things out yourselves. Of course he can be called from the backroom, where he is either napping or really working on those bloodtablet recipes. Especially any explosions would alert him.

And yes, he intends to leave even the 6th-7th year students by themselves with the advanced potions.]

Outside classes (wild card option)

[Aidou is usually seen patrolling around the dungeons whenever he needs to be. Sometimes, he does leave the dungeons (to eat and to visit the teachers' lounge) but mostly he's very secretive and not very visible in any way.]

Hello and welcome to Mana and Willow's first real event of the year! We hope you enjoy what we have in store, so look below and hop right in~

The ghosts are multiplying. Professors and the head mistress have no idea why, but they are. A small influx of new ghosts will crop up to join the likes of Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves, and all the others running around on the 26th. As the 31st draws nearer, Hogwarts castle will start to feel crowded. A small handful of ghosts will multiply into dozens literally over night, and by the 31st it may be next to impossible to find peace away from them. But, by midnight of the 31st they'll start disappearing and will be gone all together by the 2nd of November.

BOO!
26.10. - 02.11.

PROMPTS

The Walking Dead.
Among the spirits visiting the school this year, some may likely be ancestors and relatives. They may either seek you out or you them, but it's up to you if you'll let them. It's up to you what happens afterward.

Something wicked this way comes. Maybe.
Some spirits may be benign and not realize you're there. They may not even realize they are in Hogwarts castle, floating as if mindless and sightless. Some may be like Peeves and try to cause mischief. Your suffering is their amusement or just a good way to pass the time. They may torment you or they just may trick you. Other spirits might just want some company, but beware of these ones. They all have a tale to tell and won't let you leave until they're finished.

Classes are canceled.
Due to too many spirits interfering, classes have either been suspended for the day of Monday the 31st or moved outside. No one can think straight, let alone breath normally, and space inside the castle is cramped and limited. But don't count on classes staying this way, since the next day with the noticeable disappearance of spirits classes will continue on as normal.

Enjoy your freedom while you can, kids.

Make your own fun.
Don't see anything in this list that interests you? Feel free to play around and make your own fun out of this scenario. There are plenty of spirits running around and lots to do with what's going on. Have fun!

PARTY TIME
31.10.

HALLOWEEN / THE NIGHT OF SAMHAIN

It's that time of year again where Hogwarts celebrates the most coveted of holiday's for witches and wizards; Halloween. Some may call it Samhain, though. But either way, it's a day dedicated to celebrating all that the magically gifted have to offer. Hogwarts does it with a yearly masquerade, though this year may be a little more somber for some due to the ghosts. Your characters are encouraged to have fun still!

Inside the Great Hall

Food and Drink
Where the headmistress and professors usually sit has been transformed into a buffet of food and drink. There are traditional items such as pumpkin juice and butterbeer, but among them are bubbling concoctions that practically glow as fog overflows from cups. Inside are ominous liquids, but upon the first sip will offer exactly what your character wants a drink of. There are no limitations when it comes to it - coffee, tea, soda, juice - all the flavors of the world are open.

The food being served are typical treats. Pastries of all varieties, savory or sweet, cookies and cakes. But, in the center of the table where the headmistress usually sits, is a large bowl of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Care to try your hand and see if you got something that tastes good or foul? It's the ultimate Trick or Treat.

Dance Floor
Behind the refreshment table instruments have been bewitched to play music. It floats onto the dance floor, the Great Hall's ceiling high above sparkling with clear skies and beautiful view of twinkling stars. The mood is set to have a great time, the floor of the Great Hall free for movement.

Would you care to dance?

Wallflowers
There are small round tables placed near the entrance of the Great Hall that arc into a U-shape around the dance floor, chairs surrounding each table. They're the only seats around, but there's plenty for those who are too stubborn to move onto the floor with a partner or ask someone to dance with them.

Outside the Great Hall

The hallway.
From inside the Great Hall music drifts outside into the halls above the light chatter of people having fun. There is also the smell of delicious foods and promises of fun inside. But despite this, if crowds are not your scene and you want some peace and quiet, the hallway is a great place to gain some distance from it all and still be considered a party-goer.

Courtyard.
In light of Halloween being upon them, the courtyard is decorated with what could be considered glittering lights if electricity was a common place thing. Instead, they're small candles inside of appropriately small lanterns. It's a thing of beauty, seen only once a year by students around Halloween. It's not the ghoulish holiday the muggle world makes it out to be, but it is steeped in rich history and Witches and Wizards celebrate accordingly.

It's not encouraged (though it's not discouraged either) to move out into the courtyard so late at night. Always have your wits about you, children.

Hogwarts at large.
The masquerade not enough for you? Do you just feel like going back to the dorms or wandering the halls? That's perfectly acceptable too.

Make your own fun.
Don't see anything in this list that interests you? Feel free to play around and make your own fun out of this scenario. There are plenty of spirits running around and lots to do with what's going on. Have fun!

((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.]

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.]

fireredspear

[Great Hall, morning, interactions can take place after / later the day]

[It's been about ten days, since he had found out about Sousuke's shoulder having been cursed by his own father, and so far things have been peaceful in that regard. He's not naive enough to believe they will stay like that for long, but at least Sousuke is now really getting better, so he truly can't complain.

The first sign of a drastic dive downhill comes that morning, when he's enjoying his breakfast, and a hot black tea, along with the Daily Prophet, when the owls start streaming in, carrying the morning post. First there's nothing out of the ordinary, nothing that would prophesize the dawning of the apocalypse, until a rather huge owl lands in front of him, presenting him with a red envelope.

He stares at it for a total of three seconds, before snorting loudly.]

No, really?

[There is but a single person, who could have sent something like this to him - fair, besides his mother, but he seriously can't think of anything that would have her angry enough at him right now, to do this - and he quickly untangles the smoking envelope from the leg of the poor creature, tearing it apart, doing his best to not look too amused.]

PROFESSOR HARADA!

It's coach, please.

[Sano quips, when the heavy voice, tinted with a distinct Japanese accent hollers, drawing the attention of the entire hall. Oh, he can barely wait for that rumor mill.]

AS I AM SURE, BASED ON OUR PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE, YOU ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE, THAT PROMPTED THIS LETTER, I WILL CUT STRAIGHT TO THE CHASE. I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED BY YOUR ACTIONS AGAINST MY SON.

Towards. The proper preposition is 'towards'.

SO FAR I HAVE THOUGHT VERY HIGHLY OF THE HOGWARTS PROFESSORS, BUT MY OPINION HAS DROPPED CONSIDERABLY, BY YOUR FAULT. YOU HAVE INVOLVED YOURSELF IN ISSUES, THAT ARE BEYOND YOUR COMPETENCE AND ABOVE YOUR JUDGEMENT, AND HAVE ALL BUT RUINED MY SON'S FUTURE. I HAVE SPENT MUCH TIME AND ENERGY INTO THE EFFORTS OF SECURING MY SON A GOOD FUTURE, AND I WILL NOT STAND SEEING IT GONE TO NAUGHT. I HOPE YOU ARE AWARE THAT THIS WILL HAVE REPERCUSSIONS. YOU WILL HEAR FROM ME.

SINCERELY,

YAMAZAKI-SAN

[The letter burns to ashes with the last cry, sending the hall into an eerie silence. Sano doesn't think it was ever this quiet in there, in the entire history of Hogwarts. Everyone, every single person is looking at him.

He tries very, very hard not to laugh.

In order to conceal his grin, he takes a big sip of his tea, giving maximum effort into controlling his breathing, so he doesn't snort the hot liquid right out. Ah, nothing like the feeling of getting under someone's skin, enough to receive a howler, to make your day. He's aware of the looks the headmistress is sending him and he knows he's five seconds away from getting his head bitten off, but he can live with that.

Bring it on, he thinks.]

So, you suppose I'll be looking for a new job soon?

[He asks no one in particular, smirk still too wide. Without any other word, he dusts the ashes off his newspaper, raises it, to hide his shaking shoulders and the all-too-amused expression on his face, and continues reading.]

During week 18, all 5th year students have to participate (ICly) in a class called Career Advice. In the series, it's done with the Head of the Houses. However, since we want to encourage more CR with all our professors here, the system is slightly different:

* All Player Characters that are Professor can volunteer as one of the guiding professors for this class
* The Player Character (5th year) Students can then pick a Professor they want to talk with

The goal for the Career Advice classes is to get the 5th years a direction on what N.E.W.T.'s they will select for their 6th & 7th year courses and which O.W.L.'s to focus on to even get qualified for said courses. Of course, first you need is a career.

Harry Potter wikia is a rather good source for jobs, as well as your own imagination.

Of course, these talks can also be entirely handwaved, but this post is available for playing them, should you so wish.

If your Professor volunteers, please make a Top-Level comment for them so that any student can reply there.

overexertion

Closed to Rin & Adela

[The truth about his injury had made Sousuke make a few decisions. One was that he would continue pursuing his dream. This was made possible with the help of Sano and Madam Pomfrey. How things would turn out were still not completely clear, but at least he had the spark to try again. The other was apologizing and telling everything to the two he had hurt the most in the past few weeks.

Knowing how Rin would most likely react to the news, he didn't want to talk to the guy alone. Instead, he called both Adela and Rin to meet him at the same time - hoping both of them would answer his call, but also half-expecting at least Rin would not. He had made it very clear that it's important, but he had hurt Rin very badly with his lies and deceit.

Yet, he also had small hope that he would come to listen what he had to say. The same for Adela.

So he was waiting for the both in an empty class room near the Great Hall. It wasn't the most secretive of places, but there were spells to make the conversation more closed off. Now he just waited to see if either of them would come around.]

Closed to Nagisa, Kisumi, Gou, Tokiya

[After telling everything to Rin and Adela, Sousuke was determined to find three of his other close friends and the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team. With these four, he wasn't as afraid of meeting them alone. None of them were hot-headed like Rin and wouldn't attempt to fly to Japan to punch Sousuke's father. Yet he felt like he needed to explain the news to them as well.

So wherever he was able to find one of them alone, he either called out to them or touched their shoulder to get their attention before asking:]

Can we talk?

Wildcard

[For any open action. Recently Sousuke's been either in his own thoughts or reading books on curses and counter-curses - possibly to investigate the curse on him or planning a revenge curse on his father.]

fireredspear

Great Hall, Morning, Teacher's table

[In the last few days, there's been a noticeable change in Sano. Instead of the usual energetic grin, his expression was of a man sunken deep in thought, as if worrying about something. There's been something, or rather someone occupying his mind, that 'someone' being a student. One that's almost like a little brother to him, which may have added his worry, but ever since he received Sousuke's letter of resignation from the Slytherin team, and Ichinose set a date for the tryout, Sano couldn't stop thinking about it.

It made sense. It made perfect sense. It's something Sano should have done a long time ago, dropping Sousuke from the roster, if he only wasn't so soft-hearted. No one benefited from this arrangement, least of all the team and Sousuke. But still. He couldn't stop thinking about it, because of what Madame Pomfrey told him a while ago. And if there's a time to take action, it's probably now, when Sousuke actually started listening to him once and finally made his choice. Funny how suddenly Sano wished the kid would have waited a little longer.

Him taking action requires however a trip to London, one that won't last just one hour though. If he leaves after his morning lessons he can be back by the evening, but he still has afternoon classes. He owes a visit to St. Mungo's anyway, for his regular check up, so the timing couldn't be more perfect. It's during breakfast, that he throws the question into the round.]

By the way, I have some business in London. Can anyone substitute me afternoon class sometime this week? It's just free practice now, you'd only need to watch them. Maybe give them a Quaffle and a Snitch to amuse themselves with.

Few days later, Late Afternoon, Hospital Wing, [LOCKED TO SOUSUKE]

[Ever since Sano came back from London the day before, arriving in the castle with the impression of a thunderstorm, heading straight for his office (it was a good thing he apparated, or else he might have been inclined to fly, in order to vent, which wouldn't have ended up pretty, as it's a 3 hours flight from London to Hogwarts by broom), shutting himself in for at least an hour, everyone made sure to avoid him. Maybe because no one had ever really seen him this level of angry before.

Since then he managed to calm down a little, and wasn't inclined to punch walls anymore, but anyone with the smidgen of a talent for legilimency, could still feel the anger emanating from him. Madame Pomfrey keeps sending him worried glances as they stand in her office, waiting for Sousuke, for whom Sano had sent minutes ago.]

Wildcard

[For anything before, after, or in between the entire issue - which left him all levels of pissed. In fact, this might be the first time you saw him this angry.]

overexertion

Classes/Hallways/Outside

[It really had been odd lately. Sousuke and Rin hadn't acted their normal way and it was really affecting Sousuke's mood. Mostly in the 'I'm not motivated to study' way, which showed in the way he just stared at forward, not really paying attention to what was going on.

It also showed outside classes as him wandering around the hallways and outside the castle, not really doing anything and looking like he'd be ready to start a fight or worse (even if he isn't, because he doesn't need more detention or a suspension in his life).

Really, he's not in the greatest of moods and it shows.]

Quidditch pitch; Closed to Adela

[Even if Sousuke was trying to win the Most Grumpiest Person in Hogwarts award, there was someone he wanted to talk to and apologize... maybe even explain the same thing he had for Rin, even if that would cause an emotional wreck.

He was waiting for the Hufflepuff practice to end and tried to catch Adela's attention as the team flew down, so that she knew that he wanted to talk with her.]

On the way to Detention

[Speaking of sour moods, Sousuke isn't very happy about this round of detention. Potions is by far his worse subject and having a week full of forced extra classes for it? It really, really sucks. There's nothing wrong with the potions teacher, he's a nice guy, but the potions itself? Just why.

Sousuke is wondering just how much trouble he'd get to if he just didn't show up. Actually, he's very tempted to test it. Worse that could happen was more detention, right? Especially when the people deciding were professors like Sano.

Of course he could be wrong and he'd be on the next plane to Japan. Then again, he's infamous for getting lost so he could always use that as an excuse since he's not thinking straight.

Well, at least he could turn around and take a detour and see what happens...]

overexertion

Solo practice; Closed to Nagisa; morning

[Sousuke had felt restless in the early hours of the morning so he had decided to leave for the Quidditch fields to practice some. It was the perfect way to get his mind off things - even when his mind was full of quidditch related angst.

Unfortunately, practice wasn't going very well. After being in the air and practicing some swings for a while, he had felt a jolt of pain and had to make an emergency landing on the ground. There he was, lying and staring at the morning sky and breathing heavily.]

Library; right after classes

[As opposed to the last time we heard of him hanging out in the library, this time Sousuke is actually studying. With career counselling nearing and his condition not getting better, he needs to start figuring out what to do with his life and actually study to be able to choose something he decides.

On the floor there's a letter from his father with attached pictures of famous aurors and some articles that "might interest him". Clearly it's decision making time when the head of Yamazaki family starts making more and more attempts at pushing Sousuke to the "right path".

After some time, Sousuke will just give up on trying to remember any more transfiguration things and eventually just naps.]

A corner in a hallway; late evening, before curfew
Warning for violence

[Sousuke had been cornered by three guys - one of them who was a guy he had punched and sent to hospital wing two years ago (there were stairs involved) and the other two were apparently his very good friends; the ex beaters of the Slytherin team. Even if he was at a disadvantage, he didn't seem all that worried.]

Is today some sort of a closet cleaning day for all bent up revenge and hate feelings?

[The first had a good reason to be angry still (even if Sousuke had been made apologize), the second was thrown out of the team because Sousuke came back and the third was take off the team because Sousuke brougth Baldur in. Some very good reasons to be angry.

It seems it was also a good reason not to talk and get their fists to do the talking. Sousuke mentally shook his head and dodged one of the punches by moving out of the way and another by blocking it with his hand. The third guy he just chose to trip as he approached.]

Guys, none of us really want detention right? So just back off.

[They could just walk different ways? No? Fine. He could use this as a chance to relieve some frustration as well. Sousuke lets himself deliver a punch to one of the guys who was already attacking again. Of course, he can't defend himself from all sides so he's prepared to get at least one punch on himself.

A punch, not a spell that knocks him down on the floor. Hey, that's cheating in a fist fight. Sousuke's not fast enough to react and get up before he even gets kicked on the side. Oh great. He does react and kick at one of the guy's feet to knock him down and as he's getting up, he'll tackle another. That's two down - now where's the third-

Ah. Right there, shooting another spell at him. What's going to hit him next...?]

Wilcard

[Anything in between, before or after events.]

Library after the class hours

[Kisumi rubbed his eyes, letting out a loooooong yawn at the same time. He was sitting all alone at one of the tables, trying to focus on his homework. It's been couple of hours since he had started his studying and it still might take a few more. Because the truth was that Kisumi always had to study really hard if he wanted to get good grades and even though he tried not to stress, he was still worried about the upcoming tests.]

School yard couple of hours after the first one

[After he had finally finished his homework, Kisumi realized that he really needed some fresh air so after returning his books to the dorm, he left outside. The fresh air felt good and it managed to ease Kisumi's tired mind. His head felt a bit heavy and the feeling of hunger made him frown. Too bad the lunch time was already over so that wouldn't help him.]

overexertion

A: Library

[Sousuke usually takes studying rather seriously, but today he hasn't felt very inspired to do it. So instead he's reading something very, very suspicious (a wizard done hentai manga he got from a friend in Japan that includes a few moving images as well) while covering it as a normal book of Potions (his least favorite subject). He could have gone to his dorm room to read, but since he's got to study at some point to catch up with his studies he might as well hang out here.

It's not like anyone can tell he's not studying if he keeps a poker face.

Though if anyone knows he hates potions it might be weird to see him so interested.]

B: After Quidditch practice, Locker rooms, Late evening

[After Slytherin had finished their Quidditch practice, Sousuke had told others that he would run a few rounds to cool himself off. Of course he was cautious of the hawk danger so he had his wand with him in case of emergency but he really wanted to have some time to himself for a change.

He did his run and returned to the locker rooms, pleased to see that the others had already gone back to the castle (as far as he could see) and sat down on the ground, holding his right shoulder as he does, sighing heavily.

It had been a month since he returned to training. Added with the training he did outside the practice schedule to catch up on the team's level, it was putting a strain on his shoulder again. The pain wasn't that much of a deal, but he could feel it.

Of course he wouldn't be able to be as careful as he needed to. Of course it would start hurting if he did too much practice.

Looks like he needed to skip some training and visit the hospital wing again. What a pain.]

varuga

[During week ten, from Monday 7th until Friday 11th, strange things are happening near the Quidditch pitch.

Whoever might be practicing alone might encounter a hawk. Now this isn't a very strange by itself, since hawks do exist in Scotland. What might be strange is the way it keeps sitting on the Quidditch hoops, looking at anyone passing by - preying.

It's not doing anything. Just watching. Waiting.]

***

ooc: This is a promised log where Uro, the illegal animagus, will be randomly attacking anyone practicing Quidditch or flying in general near the Quidditch pitch. He will only appear on these days and only two times a day at max, separated by hours of each appearance. So there are up to ten victim spots available. Please state which day your character gets attacked in, in the subject line, for clarification.

I would like that Uro gets away with this, this time - as it's his first time causing havoc in the game.

Also, while this plot has a set time, I will tag however long people want me to and in any direction they choose. You may also use this post to play stuff that happens post-attack!
