Great Hall, backdated to Sunday, 19th

( Prologue )

[After that Saturday, witnessing such an act of violence from a student, he had advocated for a lecture on magic attacks against players during a quidditch match, and the headmistress agreed with him that it might be wise to hold one. Mandatory for all the student body.

The doors of the Great Hall slam open at his command, making about everybody flinch, but it doesn't stop him. He marches inside, coat flaring after him in the gust of wind his brisk pace produces. He doesn't wait with his words till he reaches the end of the hall either, starting on the first stride he takes inside.]

Ladies and Gentleman! Let me tell you why it's thoroughly spineless to curse a quidditch player during a game.

[He arrives at the front, stopping at the teacher's table and turning around sharply on one heel, he eyes every single student with a sharp look, before continuing.]

For one, it's an act of gutless cowardice.

( The whole speech )

That person has of course been expelled and is now on her way home. And let this be a warning to all of you: Further attacks like this one will not be tolerated, and I have the permission from the headmistress to immediately expel anyone who attempts something like this ever again. You cross the players, you cross me. And one thing you need to know: You do not want to cross me.

Dismissed.

[And with that last word, he marches off, the doors of the Great Hall closing behind him with less noise than they opened, but with even more impact than before.]

Office / Quidditch field, no specified date

[If he's honest with himself, it wasn't only anger that he had felt after the attack on Adela. There had been a lot of fear in the mix as well, fear that he somehow suppressed, but once the issue had been dealt with, it resurfaced again. The entire thing hit obviously closer to home than he was comfortable admitting. And it's not like he's reliving past traumas once again, it's really more like a ghost of the past appeared in front of him, bringing back all of the pain he had been through, except this time it's not him who's hurting, but someone he cares a lot about. Someone who is like a daughter to him.

And while he's gotten exceptionally good at dealing with his own aches, worrying about someone while being powerless is a whole other beast. One that has him holed up in his office, hiding behind paperwork of all things. Or at the field, trying to distract himself by focusing on training. Or rather on other players than the one lying in the infirmary. He's not sure it's helping.]

Wildcard

[While he prefers either the quiet of his office, or the fresh air of the quidditch field to sort his thoughts, he does need to eat, and drink, and move about the castle, so you can catch him anywhere you want.]

March 18th

There's excitement in the air, as per usual.

It's mid-season and everyone is curious how the mid point standings will look after this match. Facing each other today are the houses of the righteous: The chivalrous Gryffindors and the kind Hufflepuffs. Except there's no room for those on the battlefield that is Quidditch, and neither of them is the kind that gives in. How will this match full of determination end? Let's find out.

And the winner is...

THE GAME IS POSTPONED

Quidditch Pitch

[Gou had been rather happy since she joined the Ravenclaw team. It was fun, interesting and it helped her figuring a few things out. Sure it had it's negatives when it came to girls being the usual bitches, but that didn't stop her from continuing to do it reguardless. When she was in the air practising, she was on the ground and quietly taking various notes. When the practice was over, she kept her notes close to her chest as she walked over toward each of her team mates with a smile.]

Hello, this might seem a little odd or rude, but I've been taking notes and I thought of a training regime just for you to help improve areas that seem weak. If you don't want to look, I understand but it could also help.

Corridors

[No matter what, Gou couldn't help but notice the girls from before were still trying to get some type of reaction out of her. After the incident with the lake, this seemed to be what they attempt to do. But after rubbing her brows slightly, she took a small breath. She had her limits and hearing them loudly whisper something she took major offense to.]

Alright, that's it. I've been trying to ignore this, but it seems like bullies never take a hint.

[This caused the girls to stop and look over, they seemed ready for a confrontation, but Gou wasn't the type to fight, more stand up for herself when it was needed.]

Look I get it, you like the guys who play Quidditch and some of the guys I know, but instead of bitching and dissing people who are thier friends, actually grow a pair of balls and tell them. If you get rejected because they either have someone already or they like someone else, then at least you know and can move on.

[Gou had her hands on her waist for the moment.]

And what about you? You seem to oogle them all the time, yet you don't say anything.

And that is because I am not ogling the boys themselves. It's thier muscles. I mean come on they are nice biceps considering. [And this was simply enough to confuse the girls why do you ogle something like that?]

Now you know that, can you please stop bullying me because you think I'm going after them. I'm not. I'm not interested in anyone that way, I just appreciate what they do in order to keep the beautiful muscles they do have.

Teacher's lounge

[Zelman doesn't appear at breakfast. Instead, he's sitting on a couch in the room designed for teachers to hang out in, telling the story of how a person who used to be a student is suddenly a teacher. The headmistress had given him a permission to actually tell the whole truth, so it made things easier.]

-- and so the Headmistress saw I was qualified enough to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Well, I guess that or History of Magic, but that's already taken.

[He takes a sip out of the cola can he has. Then he looks over at the door opening and greets whoever is walking in with a frown and a sigh.]

... I guess I gotta start my story all over again. Should have probably waited for everyone.

DADA (all years)

[All morning there has been a rumor about a new teacher in DADA. The person in question is sitting on his desk, watching the students walk in - amused by the confused faces of some who actually remember him being an ex-Slytherin.

Once everyone is seated, he talks.]

I'm your new teacher, Zelman Clock. I may not look like it, but I am over 150 years old. How, you ask? Well, I'm the vampire professor that one kid was trying to spread rumors off. [He flashes his teeth, not there for show.] My diet is taken cared of, you don't have to worry about that. Though if you feel uncomfortable about being in my class, there are ways to study outside the class.

Now that we have that out of the way... any questions? About vampires or about the past, I don't care. The first lesson today is a getting to know your teacher class.

Wild Card

[Want to meet him after classes? He's available around the school.]

enchantressofore

A. Corridor (outside the Prefect's Bathroom)

[ The fact that she's starting to have to bathe in here regularly just so that she doesn't get harassed is starting to become a problem.

Adela can't help sighing with the soak, frowning at the ceiling as she thinks it over. Those girls in Gryffindor haven't gotten violent yet, but she is getting bothered worse just for trying to hang out with her friends. How many threatening notes has she had to burn up? How many times has she had to repair her own torn bag, or retrieve stolen goods of hers? The fact that she's starting to have to lock up everything of hers behind magic...

But, who'd believe her if she said anything? Sano would, but the girls could claim it was nothing... And it just isn't worth the head ache. If she keeps going on like nothing's wrong and proving that the girls aren't getting to her, they'll eventually stop right? They're not like Zelman, they're just petty and stupid.

It doesn't help that, when she leaves the bathroom, there's another note pinned outside and waiting for her. Adela only barely gives it a read before pulling out her wand and burning the paper to ashes, disposing of them in a nearby bin after.

Unfortunately, this time she might have a witness to said burning... ]

B. Library

[ She knew it'd happen eventually, but it still sucks that it did.

Adela can't help sighing as she sets her things down on a table in the library, leaning on the table a moment later. Those girls... They've been bothering her more and more to stop hanging out with her friends, and as much as she's trying to not let it bother her... Well, being three times late to class and finally getting a detention for it is pretty hard to ignore. Things were supposed to be better when school got back in session, not worse. The only saving grace about that is that most of her friends are in the year above, so they don't have to know about that if she doesn't want them to.

It's for an extra assignment that Adela starts pulling out her texts then, feeling more tired than anything else. It's really bad that she's almost wishing it was Zelman again, because even when it was him he never made her late for class or harassed her as doggedly as these girls were. The fact that they're girls and she has to keep up a good image as Hufflepuff's Captain is starting to get to her too. Short of stopping her from getting to class on time, threatening notes, and the occasional harmless prank, she's got nothing though... And that just makes it worse.

Well, the fact that no rumours have spread about her and the Gryffindor girls probably means that at least the whole thing's still quiet. Even if there are unsavoury rumours about her and the boys she hangs out with starting to pop up... It's nothing as long as she can keep going with her studies and Quidditch as she has, right? And it's not like that kind of stuff is enough to get her friends to stop hanging out with her.

Maybe Adela hasn't realized just how much this is tiring her out though, but before long she's asleep on top of her text book and notes in the library again. When someone does rouse her awake she jolts, startled and blinking before masking a yawn. She might not even know who she's talking to when she speaks almost mindlessly and tries to wake back up. ]

Sorry about that... You need the table or something?

[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.]

The excitement in the air is sizzling, with the Quidditch match about to happen.

Today's match is a between two rivals, not only in competition, but their very ideology: The cunning Ravenclaw against the diligent Hufflepuff. Usually both friendly and tolerant, now they stand on the opposite sides of the court. Whose method will prove the more effective one? Let's find out!

Flying your house colours? Figured out who you're going to support?

It's time to head out to the pitch and settle things.

[OoC: There will be threads for pre, during, and post game activities. In other words, pregame your character could be in the dressing room or at breakfast, during you could play out a game thread or be in the stands, post you could be celebrating or moping, depending on how things went]

( And the winner is... )

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.]

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

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

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

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

[She soon claps.]

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

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

gizmoe

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

Yet.

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

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

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

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

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

Great Hall, Morning OWL mail

[It's the Monday after the quidditch match, when he feels really well rested and recharged, if not a bit gloomy. He spent the Sunday in, doing relaxing stuff, like he always does the Sunday after a game, but usually until now, that also meant pleasant company and a little loving, but he ain't got that anymore, right? Time to move on.

Or so he thinks, right until the moment when the morning mail arrives. Unexpectedly, a letter lands right in front of him, making him blink twice, but when he inspects it, it's like a rope tightens around his heart. There is no sender on the envelope, but he's recognize that playful, quirky handwriting anywhere. He opens it carefully, his hands shaking just enough for the paper to tremble softly, as he starts reading.

And as he reads, several different emotions wash over him in quick succession. First there's a sense of relief, worry and relief again, as he reads the reasons, the explanation. Months he'd been agonizing over what he did wrong, whether it was something he said, that made her pack and leave, because what else could it possibly be? Family issues have not come to his mind and he kicks himself hard. Second there's apprehension as he reads further, because it seems there's something else, another reason he's receiving this letter. And lastly shock, when he reaches the last paragraph. Shock, combined with exaltation and at the same, despair.

Father. He's going to... father.

The joy the message brings him soars in his heart, only to be crushed by the despair of not being able to be there, possibly not even getting to know his child.

He takes another look at the envelope, because maybe there was a sender, he just missed to see it, but there is none. No trace of where the letter came from, nowhere to go, or even respond. The knowledge that she didn't even want to hear a reply crushes him. He has no way of reaching her, no way of telling her it all will be alright. All he can do is silently bear this knowledge.]

Through the day, anywhere (practice, office, elsewhere, hoops)

[The rest of the day is somewhat a blur. Barely something registers through the haze in his mind, or the emotional roller coaster he spends the day riding. During practice he's either unfocused, or snappy, in some moments unnecessary strict, at others unreasonably lenient. When there's nothing going on, he can be seen sitting somewhere, with his head between his hands. The second the day reaches it's end, he locks himself in his office and can't be seen for the rest of the evening.

Only those who visit the pitch at the late hours would find him, sitting in one of the hoops, balancing his weight on the thin ledge, bottle of whiskey in hand, from the broom parked right next to him a full basket of bottles hanging.]

((ooc: For reference, he's gotten this letter.

The excitement in the air is sizzling, with the Quidditch match about to happen.

Today's match is a between two rivals ruthless in their encounters, their heated rivalry legendary from way back when Hogwarts was only starting. Gryffindor and Slytherin have never been on friendly terms. Certainly not in quidditch. It's sure to be an intense match up.

Flying your house colours? Figured out who you're going to support?

It's time to head out to the pitch and settle things.

[OoC: There will be threads for pre, during, and post game activities. In other words, pregame your character could be in the dressing room or at breakfast, during you could play out a game thread or be in the stands, post you could be celebrating or moping, depending on how things went]

( And the winner is... )

The game lasted 2 hours 43 minutes and ended with a final score of 350 to 160.
Slytherin caught the snitch.

[The win was determined by player vote and the rest of the numbers by a RNG. A number between 15 and 300 determined the length of the game in minutes, numbers between 15 and 50 multiplied by 10 the final score, and a throwdown between 1 and 2 who caught the snitch (based on odds/evens, with each team having their assigned number for all the matches).

Slytherin was 40 points in the lead, before the Seeker caught the little golden ball.]

Quidditch Pitch
[Hinata was sitting in the stands watching everyone practice to begin with. He couldn't help but be amazed at how they trained at this school. It was so different than what he had been use to back home. The storms, the aeroplanes he had to avoid for the most part, most of the time quite narrowly. It was always tough training at his old school, but seeing none of that here... His eyes widen and his mouth shaped to an o. He was interested. perhaps a little too fascinated considering he might not necessarily be watching the house he is in practice.

When it was Hufflepuffs practicing, Hinata can be found on the field, broom in hand and a wide grin on his face. He was honestly looking forward to it.]

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!

[ Cell phone. Mobile. Whatever you call them doesn't really matter because it's not something to expect in Hogwarts of all places. Yet Gareki's fingers fly across the small on-screen keyboard of his. Which works, despite technology being a foreign concept to the general populace of the Wizarding world, who still rely on methods of communication developed in what felt like the stone age.

Gareki's leaned against a wall in the courtyard, allowing the crisp October breeze blow through his hair. There's a small box beside him, resting on a low ledge, and he looks nonchalant but there's something about the way he allows the volume of the buttons to pierce the quiet between the shuffle of other students feet on the ground and over the murmur of chatter.

It's obvious he wants attention, probably for the first time in his school career. It's obvious he wants someone to ask him what he's doing or how he got his phone to work.

So c'mon. Give him what he wants. ]

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.]

fireredspear

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.]

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! ]]

fireredspear

[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.]

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.]
