Friday, January 3, 2003 // 05:16 p.m.
Ron stopped in his tracks and slowly turned around. He glared steadily at Malfoy and clenched his jaw. "No, Malfoy, everything's perfectly fine," he replied, angry voice dripping with sarcasm. He stepped forward and helpd out his hand. "So why don't you just return my book and we'll both be on our way."

//Ron

Friday, January 3, 2003 // 05:15 p.m.
*Pulls out wand, and tries to do several spells to reveal who sent the gift, but is unsuccessful.*

"Well, somebody's got an admirer!"

((OOC: Padma what is your SN?))

//Cho

Wednesday, January 1, 2003 // 11:03 a.m.
*Padma looks dumbfounded at the beautiful rose* "Wow! Who could have givin this to me? I'm going to ask Professor Flitwick, in our next Charms class to put a preserving charm on it!" *Then Padma and Cho run upstairs to dormitories to look at the rose and possibly find out who it was from*

//Padma

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 // 06:57 p.m.
*laughs and picks up the package* "It's very light..." *Opens it and pulls out a single rose, with no tag or indication of who it was from.* "Wow..." *hands the rose to Padma*

//Cho

Tuesday, December 31, 2002 // 01:52 p.m.
*Padma Blushes.* I don't know Cho, why don't you open it for me, I don't wanna look!

//Padma

"Hmm...Harry Potter has a snowy owl...I think..." *Blushes a little* "What's in it?"

//Cho

Monday, December 30, 2002 // 05:24 p.m.
*Padma pulls out the gift from her sister, Parvati* Looks like she got me some new clips for my hair and a bag of bertie botts every flavour beans. *She also pulls out the mysterious gift that was also sent. I don't know about this one Cho! No one signed their name. But the owl that delivered it was a Snowy white!

//Padma

Monday, December 30, 2002 // 04:01 p.m.
I can't believe this... Someone borrowed my computer and somehow the logs from yesterday's RP's are gone. Aaarghhhhh!!! Catherine, Julie... Do any of you still have the logs? Please? Please? *pulls out hair*

//Martine

Sunday, December 29, 2002 // 11:32 a.m.
OOC: Just letting you know that I'm here, I'm just waiting to catch Martine online XD.

//Harry

Saturday, December 28, 2002 // 12:04 a.m.
Walking a bit faster, Draco raised an eyebrow at the rant. Nearly behind Ron. he watched as a book fell from his hand. Bending over, he picked it up. Tossing it between his hands.

Rolling his eye, he smirked and drawled out "What's the matter, Weasel? Trouble in paradise?"

//Draco

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 10:48 p.m.
In his fury, Ron didn't even notice Mafloy as he stomped down the corridor. He muttered loudly about Hemrione. "I don't know what's wrong with her, I want to keep her from killing herself and she gets mad, I tell her that i care and she gets even more pissed off and twists my words, what the bloody hell does she expect me to do, honestly, I can NOT believe that girl for one minute..." and on it went. He didn't notice how his books were idly slipping out of his clenched fists.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 11:26 p.m.
Draco walked down the hall to the hall, humming to himself. Not really paying attention, he was surprised when he heard yelling from the infrimary. Wondering who it was, he put his ear to the door, hearing the last part of Granger and Weasley's conversation.

Suprised, he stepped away from the door as Weasley came out. How odd... Curious, he followed a bit behind Weasley.

//Draco

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:21 p.m.
*sits on the bed*

I can't BELIEVE him! I can't believe someone could be so interfering! Well I don't need him...he only cares about himself anyway.

*Scowls and hits the bed.*

Why is everything going so wrong??

//Hermione

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:14 p.m.
Ron turned around and stood there, gaping. He did care! That's why he didn't want her to go! How could she twist his words around like that... "Hermione!" he called angrily, but his face softened. "I... oh, fine!" he yelled again then proceded to leave.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 08:07 p.m.
*eyes wide with shock and anger*

"FINE! You don't care about me! You're just afraid you'll lose the person who does all the work for you all the time! Well go on then, see if I care! I can do this myself, just like everything else I do!"

*Turns around and pulls curtains around the bed, blocking her from view*

//Hermione

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 07:58 p.m.
Ron cringed as she yelled and then looked at her blankly, his jaw working, but no sound coming out. Then he jumped to his feet and glared at her, his face going red with anger. "So sorry for not wanting you to run out and get yourself killed!" He yelled back. "If that's how you're going to go about it, maybe I should just stand back and let you!" His face beat red, Ron spun around and began stomping toward the door.

//Ron

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 01:10 p.m.
((THANK YOU PADMA!!!))

*walks into common room and sees Padma*

"Hey Padma, what've you got there?" *sits down*

//Cho

Friday, December 27, 2002 // 11:59 a.m.
Padma enters the Ravenclaw common room on a friday and sits down in front of the fire. Suddenly, two owls drop her Christmas presents. The first one is from her sister, Parvati. The second one has no tag, but was delivered by a snowy white owl. Who could have sent this she thought?

//Padma

Thursday, December 26, 2002 // 05:31 p.m.
*Snaps under stress and worry* *looks up sharply* "What? Ron Weasley don't tell me what I can and cannot do!" *stands up* "I can take care of myself! I don't need people like YOU constantly flitting around me! I'm fine on my own!" *Face turns red*

//Hermione

Thursday, December 26, 2002 // 01:25 p.m.
Ron found himself shaking his head. "That's probably why Sirius took it. You can't go after them yourself, Hermione, it'd be way too dangerous. You don't know where they are, or who's holding them or anything! No, you're definitely staying here with the rest of us." Ron's voice was a bit more stern than he had meant it, but he was certainly not going to allow his friend throw herself into danger like that.

//Ron

Wednesday, December 25, 2002 // 01:44 p.m.
*looks down* "I've been better...I just can't stand sitting here doing nothing while...well, you know. I got another letter from them." *looks up* "Sirius took it, but he said it contains information on where they are...If only I had that letter! I wouldn't be sitting here, I can tell you that!" *crosses arms*

//Hermione

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 10:04 p.m.
Ron laughed and ran a hand back through his tossled red hair. "Well no, not really. Just trying to go the opposite direction in the halls when it's time to eat. I dropped one of my books and nearly got run over. How are you doing?"

//Ron

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 03:10 p.m.
*Looks up and sees Ron*

"Shouldn't you be in class? Wait, turn around...my goodness you've got a footprint on your back! Was there a riot or something out there?!"

//Hermione

Tuesday, December 24, 2002 // 12:34 p.m.
Ron shoved his way through the crowded corridors, class having just let out and everyone headed to the great all to eat. Hermione had been in the hospital wing for a bit now, and Ron was determined to go see how she was doing. He had wanted to stay there with her, but Madame Pomfrey insisted upon his going to class. Someone knocked his transfiguration book out of his hands and he was forced to try and snatch it up before being run over.

Breatihng heavily, he made his way out of the crowd and into the more empty corridors leading to the hospital wing. He walked inside and sat down on the bed next to Hermione and smiled.

//Ron

Monday, December 23, 2002 // 08:06 a.m.
Another RP :)

Hermione: *Lays down on the bed feeling troubled and worried*
Sirius: *runs down the stairs, worried about Hermione* *slips through the door when madam Pomfrey walks out*
Hermione: *Looks up and sees an enormous black dog come through the door...whispers "Sirius!"*
Sirius: *looks around frantically, afraid to be caught* *walks up to the bed*
Hermione: *whispers* "I don't think anyone else is in here...you're fine..."
Sirius: *transforms* "Hermione... How are you?"
Hermione: "Well...I suppose I've been better, right?"
Sirius: *looks down* "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like that..."
Hermione: *Shakes head* "Don't worry about it...." *looks up* "Sirius, what am I going to do?"
Sirius: *takes Hermione's hand* "It will be OK, honestly, it will. I'm going to try and do everything to get them home. I'm going to talk to Snape in a bit."
Hermione: *Just then an owl flies through the open window and drops a letter on Hermione's bedsheets*
Sirius: *grabs the letter* "Wait! Don't open it!"
Hermione: *Looks surprised* "Why? It might be about my parents!" *She said rather loudly, trying to get up and take it back*
Sirius: *sniffles at the letter* "No, wait... It could contain something dangerous"
Sirius: *opens the letter* *reads it* *frowns*
Hermione: "What is it??" *tries to grab letter again*
Sirius: "it's... not good. I'll have this examined by other people first, best not to take any risks. yes." *puts the letter in his trousers*
Hermione: "What does it say?? Tell me, Sirius."
Sirius: "It indicates your parents are alive, so that's good." *pats Hermione on her shoulder*
Hermione: "Does it say where they are?"
Hermione: "Sirius please just tell me...it'll only make me feel worse not to know."
Sirius: "No, it doesn't..." *frowns*
Sirius: "I'm sorry, Hermione... I need to get it examined first. Just believe me when I say it's not bad news. I would have told you."
Hermione: *frowns* "When can I know."
Sirius: "Basically... this letter just gives us a way to contact the kidnappers, but we've been tricked before. Just please, please stay out of it, unless you want to get kidnapped yourself."
Hermione: *Frowns more* "How can I just sit here and do nothing while Death Eaters have my MUGGLE parents! Do you know what they'll DO to them?" *Her eyes now shine with tears*
Sirius: *looks helpless* "I'm so sorry. And I know what the deatheaters are capable of, but the fact they're still alive, is very, very good news."
Sirius: "Just... realise that this is probably a way to trick Harry, and you'd give them exactly what they want if you go to look by yourself."
Hermione: *Sits back angrily* "It's not fair."
Sirius: *smiles, cynically* "life isn't fair."
Hermione: *Hermione is still glum but she hears Madam Pomfrey walking toward the door*
Hermione: "She's coming you'd better go...just promise me you'll do everything you can for my parents, ok?"
Sirius: *pets Hermione's hand, helplessly* "I promise. Just... get some rest."
Hermione: *nods and looks down as the door opens* "Go!"
Sirius: *smiles, reassuringly* *transforms and runs*

OOC: I'm so sorry I haven't posted in a while (... make that a long while), RL (and other fandom stuff) has been mad. Just wanted to say I'm still alive, before anyone takes over Snape & Sirius ;). Catherine, I tried to make Snape and Sirius RP, but I felt slightly schizophrenic, so I hope to catch you online sometime to finish that RP :).

Harry *quickly tells Sirius he'll catch up with him later and runs off to find Hermione and Ron and see if they're okay*
Hermione: *Is still stumbling along with Ron*
Harry: *hears voices down the hall and runs into ron carrying Hermione*
Hermione: *looks up and sees Harry*
Harry: "Oh hi guys! I was looking for you.. did you just come back from Pomfrey's, or are you going there now? Are you okay Hermione?"
Hermione: "We were just making our way there...kind of. I'm alright...it's just come as a shock to me.."
Harry: "No kidding. I was just talking to Sirius."
Ron: Ron nods a bit, re adjusting his weight to support her better. "What'd he have to say?"
Hermione: *Realizes how it must look to Harry to see Ron carrying her, she quickly says:* "I can walk on my own..." *turns bright red* "I'm fine...."
Harry: "Nothing much really, well, we were going to go up to Snape and talk to him about this *points at Hermione* but I wanted to tell you two first.. and see if you were alright"
Hermione: *nods* "I'm alright, really...I don't think I need to go to the Hospital Wing.."
Ron: *looks uncertainly over at Hermione* "you sure?"
Hermione: *Wobbles a bit* "Erm...I think?"
Harry: "You better go anyway Hermione"
Hermione: *hesitates* "All right...I don't want to have to be social in the common room anyway.."
Ron: *chews his lip then gives her an encouraging smile, then looks over at Harry* "Okay then."
Harry: "Go on. I'll go talk to Snape with Sirius, and then I'll come to the hospital wing with Sirius okay?"
Hermione: "Alright...and ask Dumbledore to get Sirius into the ward, Madam Pomfrey won't take it well to see Sirius Black in Hogwarts..."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah, and we need to talk to him about all this as well."
Hermione: *nods* "All right...we'll see you soon then"
Harry: "Okay, I'll see you later. Don't worry about working or anything now Hermione"
Hermione: *shakes head and smiles a little* "For once, I don't think I am..."
Harry: "Good" *nods and hesitates a bit and turns around and leaves*
Hermione: *sighs* "Shall we go, then?"
Ron: *nods once more* "Yeah, yeah
Hermione: "Erg, this school keeps getting bigger!" *They approach the hospital wing*
Ron: *smiles, glad to hear her make a joke* "Knowing Hogwarts, it probably does."
Hermione: "Well, according to "Hogwarts, A History," corridors and chambers tend to move, but I don't remember reading anything about it getting bigger."
Ron: *can't help but laugh* "That's my Hermione..." he grinned not even realizing the irony of his statement.
Hermione: *Grins as they get to the hospital wing door and walk in*
Madame Pomfrey: "Oh my.. what happened to you? No time to explain! Lets get you in a bed.. I know what to do here!" *runs off*

Love Catherine ::: Sorry Martine. I'll RP with you later. Hope you don't mind?

Thursday, December 5, 2002 // 05:44 p.m.

Ron: Ron sat nervously chewing his lip as he gazed at the fire while sitting on the floor beside the couch.
Hermione: *sees lots of fog, black figures, can barely see, then a flash of orange, then BAM! she jerks awake*
Ron: *starts slightly and looks over his shoulder at Hermione, surprised to see she's awake suddenly*
Hermione:*is confused* "....wha?" *sits up*
Ron: *scoots around so he's facing her, his expression worried* "You alright, Hermione?"
Hermione: *rubs head* "Yeah..." *looks around* "Where's Harry?"
Ron: *smiles slightly* "I think he went to go get Dumbledore."
Hermione: "Oh..." *sighs and looks at Ron hopelessly* "What's...what's going to happen?"
Ron: *hesitates* "With your parents?"
Hermione: *nods*
Hermione: "I mean...I know there's nothing we can do, but are we just supposed to sit here?"
Ron:*shakes his head* "Not a chance. Sirius was saying he wanted us to help in the You-Know-Who ordeal. We'll find out where your parents are, I'm sure of it."
Hermione: *nods*
Hermione: *tries to stand up but sways a bit*
Ron: *scrambles to his feet and grabs on to her arm quickly* "Careful..."
Hermione: *Steadies, then looks up at Ron* "Thanks..."
Ron: *looks at her for a moment, then glances away, his ears reddening* "Once you're ready, you want to go to Pomfrey's?"
Hermione: *sighs* "I suppose I should...come on, we'll go now.."
Hermione: *Stands up slowly* "We should talk to Snuffles too, and Dumbledore if possible.."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah.... need any help?"
Hermione: "no" *stumbles* "..yes"
Ron: *laughs slightly and then slowly, his freckled face flushing some, wraps an arm around her to help support her* "...er, okay, let's go"
Hermione: *grins a little then starts walking* "I'm fine, really...just came as a shock..."
Ron: "No kidding... I don't blame you." *smiles a bit as he helps her out of the portrait hole*
Hermione: "What would they have done with them? Why does You-Know-Who think killing Harry will make everything better?"
Ron: "Well... Harry was the one who made him fall before... maybe he's afraid that with Harry still alive, it could happen again."
Hermione: *frowns* that's true...
The two continued to stroll down the hall in a worried silence…

OOC: Meh, I'd be getting no where if I just tried to reply, so I posted our old RP, Julie. HOpe you don't mind. ^^;;

(( sorry about not posting or being on alot, latin has been taking alot of time. and sorry about logging of the other day, my comp messed up. Anyone uo for a rp chat on friday? around 1-ish mebbe? ))
Draco walked down the corridor towards Slytherin common room, humming to himself. Glad to finally be out of classes for the day.
Opening the door to his dorm, he was surprised to see a owl outside. Letting the owl in he took the message and bag from the leg and sent it away with a wave. Sitting down on his bed to read it.
Draco, As you may or may not have heard, we have come up with a new plan to trap Potter. As I write this it has already been started. We could use both yours, Blaise's and Pansy's help. I shall explain in more detail over break. - Lucius P.S. Here are some treats from your mother.

//Draco

Tuesday, November 26, 2002 // 04:27 p.m.
Harry: *Noticing there was no one in Dumbledore's office, Harry ran to Sirius's room and knocked on the door*
Sirius: Hearing fast footsteps approach, followed by a knock, Sirius walked to the door. "Hello?"
Harry: "Hermione... parents" Harry started, panting. Sirius: "Harry! Come in, quick. What's wrong with Hermione's parents?"
Harry: "Okay.. She just came downstairs in a daze... and... she had this letter, then she fainted.. and I read it and it said her parents were kidnappped! i left her with Ron. I'm sure he doesn't know what to do.."
Sirius: Sirius frowned "Oh shit. Did you... Where is Dumbledore? Who did she get the letter from?"
Harry: "I don't know, she just looked at me and Ron and fainted.. just fainted! You can't come in though.. people will see you"
Sirius: "Understandable, after that news... And maybe this hide and seeking game should be over. I am innocent, after all."
Harry: "Well, you can't just go out there, people will be scared.. you need to talk to Dumbledore. Who isn't here. Where is he?"
Sirius: "I have no idea. I've been trying to find him for a day now, I don't hope he's off to visit someone... We need a plan. I want to see that letter."
Harry: "Want me to get it??"
Sirius: "Yes, please. I want to run some tests... I don't trust this."
Harry: "Ok, I'll be right back" *runs out the door*
::About 5 Minutes Later::
Harry: "Hermione's still unconcious, here's the letter." *passes it to Sirius*
Sirius: *frowns* "Still? Why didn't Ron take her to Pomfrey?" *takes the letter*
Sirius: "It seems like the Ministy did send it... It just feels like someone is trying to get you the three of you, especially you, to come look for them."
Harry: "I don't think he wants to carry her that whole way" Sirius: "Oh, for God's sake." *walks up to his fireplace, throws some powder in. "Poppy!" *Madam Pomfrey's head appears, and Sirius tells her to go and help Hermione*
Harry: *looks at Sirius with an uneasy face* "Yeah.. but why would we go find them? Hermione would never do that, and I doubt Ron would either.. well, they wouldn't want to. They know it's too dangerous"
Sirius: "Should I mention your earlier adventures now?"
Harry: Well, now, after last year?
Sirius: "And looking for Voldemort wasn't dangerous?"
Harry: "I'm aware about the past years. Hermione and Ron wouldnt want to go look for them. They know better, now."
Sirius: "Even if that was true, Voldemort and his sidekicks aren't aware of that. I just want to know if this is a trick or not." *walks up to his closet, pulls out some instruments and a vial*
Harry: "Of course it was a trick. Hasn't everything been? Well, not everything.."
Sirius: *faint smile* "Indeed." *fiddles around with the instruments, muttering a spell* "This should tell me who sent the letter, but I'm no Moody."
Harry: *stares at the vial*
Sirius: "Hmmm. Some clerk at the Ministry, apparently."
Harry: "Well, it still could be a fake.. could be someone disguised as a clerk?"
Sirius: "Yes. I still don't trust it... No, it should recognize disguises. But whoever sent it, Hermione's parents clearly are kidnapped."
Harry: "What do I do now? I'm going to see if Hermione's alright.."
Sirius: "I'm going to see Snape. You can come, if you want. I think he'll know more."
Harry: "Okay then"

We'll do the rest later ^_^

//Harry and Sirius

Monday, November 25, 2002 // 06:25 p.m.
Ron quickly snatched the note from Harry and watched the black haired boy run out of the portrait hole and out of sight. Ron knelt down next to Hermione's limp body and read the note, his eyes widening as they scanned the page. Stuffing the note in his pocket, he looked down at Hermione, wishing he knew a spell to wake her up. Sh'ed probably know the one. Oh well...

Ron thought a moment then bent down and wrapped his arms around her knees and near her neck, lefting her up with a grunt. He was tall and lanky, but he was now a fifteen year old boy, and Hermione was rather light. He carefully carried her over to the couch by the fire and set her down, putting her head on a pillow. Then he sat on the floor next to her and pulled out the note, reading it again while he worriedly waited for Harry and Dumbledore.

//Ron

Sunday, November 24, 2002 // 07:49 p.m.
*runs across the room to Hermione and grabs the letter from her limp hand*
Hermione's parents were kidnapped?
*Passes the note to Ron and runs to find Dumbledore...*

OOC: Great plot twist Julie ^_^

//Harry

Sunday, November 24, 2002 // 05:06 p.m.
*Walks straight up to the girl's dormitory after her walk with Ron, and finds a barn owl on her bed, with a letter tied to its foot.*

"What's this?" *Unties letter from owl, who flies away to the owlery right after...* "It's from the ministry..." *reads:*

"Dear Miss Granger,
We are devastated to have to inform you of this, but you must know. Albus Dumbledore told us to protect your parents. We went to their house and told them what we would do (the Fidelius Charm) and we said we would return the following day to perform the charm, as it is immensely complex. In that span of one day, it is believed that three to four Death Eaters went to your parents. There was a struggle, and two Muggles witnessed it, but by the time our Ministry got wind of it, the Death Eaters had taken your parents. The Death Eaters left a note, which we will tell you about at a later time. They are not dead, but as to where they are, we do not know. We are working tirelessly to find them, and I assure you we WILL have them home safely. However, you must take all necessary precautions yourself. Don't ever go anywhere alone, and keep yourself out of trouble.
I am terribly sorry you had to find out this way, but please do not do anything drastic."

*Stares wide-eyed, then walks numbly to the common room...looks from the letter to Ron and Harry, then faints.*

||Bum bum bum!||

//Hermione

Thursday, November 21, 2002 // 07:11 p.m.
*wakes up with a jolt* what was that? *looks at clock. It's 9:30. Gets up, dressed and makes her way to the Great Hall, thinking about her dream.* I'll ask Professor Trelawny about it after breakfast

//Pansy

Tuesday, November 19, 2002 // 07:30 p.m.
After replying, "I'll go find him," Hermione gets up and walks out.

Hermione : *Crawls through portrait hole to find Ron*
Ron : *strolls down the hall toward in the direction of the common room slowly, thinking things over*
Hermione : *Looks around, walks aimlessly through halls, and turns a corner to see Ron walking*
Ron : *randomly scratches his head*
Hermione : "Ron?"
Ron : *jerked out of his thoughts he turns around, looking over his shoulder* "Hermione?"
Hermione : "Hey, erm...the Common Room's that way..."
Ron : *glances around and laughs, his ears reddening slightly* "Yeah, I suppose it is. I wasn't thinking about where I was going."
Hermione : *Grins* "Apparently not. Are you all right? I didn't get to talk to you after Madam Pomfrey let us go."
Ron : *nods a bit* "I'm okay. I ended up talking to Sirius for a bit... hey, er..." *Puases, shuffling his feet slightly* "You want to go for a walk or something?"
Hermione : *reddens a bit* "Sure...I've finished my work for today anyway."
Ron : *smiles slightly and turns to walk into one of the halls with large windows and a nice view over the Hogwarts grounds* "So, I talked to Sirius.. and I asked him about Harry..."
Hermione : "What did he say?"
Ron : "Well, I asked him what Harry could be hiding from us... but he didn't seem to know."
Hermione : "Hmm...I dunno what's got into Harry this year...he used to be able to tell us anything."
Ron : *looks at the floor, his face having that Ronnish worried expression* "Maybe just stress? I mean... it's only been a few months since everything happened..."
Hermione : "True...I suppose if we give him time...*trails away* Afterall, even though he says he hates the Dursleys...besides Snuffles, they're the only family he's got..."
Ron : *wrinkles his nose* "You haben't met them, Hermione... worst, worst sort of Muggles... but Snuffles said Harry's worried about us."
Hermione : "About us? Why?"
Ron : "because... of you-know-who's return to power..." *rubs his face finally* "I don't know, Hermione... how am I supposed to help my best friend when he won't tell me what's really bugging him?" *looks up at her with slightly lost eyes*
Hermione : *Opens mouth, then stops.* "Well I don't know. *sighs and looks down* We can't keep pleading with him...if he's not going to tell us, he's not going to tell us. I'm sure Dumbledore and Snuffles are working to protect as many people as possible...he may even do that Fidelius Charm for our parents, or something...I don't know."
Ron : *gazes at Hermione for an unusually long moment then nods*
Hermione : "I just don't know what to do anymore, Ron. It's all so...*rubs eyes* Arg, I don't know! I want to help...but can we? What can three teenagers do?"
Ron : *sighs and loks at her sadly* "Well, we've done more than enough before..."
Hermione : "Yeah, but this is You-Know-Who we're dealing with...well, I'm going to do my best to help my friends, and that's all I can give..."
Ron : *smiles at her slight optimism* "That's all we could hope for, Hermione. Besides, we've dealt with You-Know-Who every year since we got here"
Hermione : "Not when he was powerful...I don't even know the extent to what we're dealing with...only Harry does...he's seen him. But I don't think he's in any state to tell us about that..."
Ron : *sighs* "We'll be alright, Hermione, don't worry..." *looks over at her and gives her a rare comforting smile*
Hermione : *Stares back at Ron with a bit of an idiot-look, then quickly coughs and looks to the floor, face reddening*
Ron : *blinks and cocks his head, then shrugs* "Well, should we get back to the common room?"
Hermione : "Yeah, we should go talk to Harry..." *turns and walks toward Common Room*
Ron: *follows beside her*

"You're back eh? Nothings up. Where's Ron?"

*sits up and looks around*

OOC: My internet's broken at home, I'm at my grandparents. It should be fixed soon though!
Also.. didn't everyone love the movie? It was truly wonderful.. and also I loved the R/H moment at the end. Ah.

||Sorry about the lack of posts...the only time I can go online is when my parents aren't around cause I'm GROUNDED! I try though!||

Madam Pomfrey let Ron and Hermione go earlier, but Hermione was so enthralled in work that she left quite a bit after Ron.

*Walks to Common Room and sees Harry lying on a couch, looking rather stressed.*

"Hey...what's up?"

pansy's dream
Trance music is playing. Pansy looks around, and sees lots of people wearing baggy, reflective pants and shirts, pacifiers, visors and lots of beads and glitter,and their hair annoyingly bright anime coloured hair, all dancing and laughing, and some yelling 'PLUR!' This must be a muggle 'rave' suddenly, voldemort appears. he's dressed as the muggle 'ravers', wearing a lime robe over it. he takes out his wand and yells 'AVADA KEDAVERA', killing everyone except Pansy. The force of the spell knocks her into the punch bowl, transproting her to a shop in knockturn ally. Voldemort appearing not long afterward. He hands her a piece of parchment. she opens the parchment and screams *pansy wakes up* what was that? she thought. She goes to her trunk and takes out a bottle of butter beer and a package of cauldron cakes and goes into the common room. She sits in an armchair infront of the fire, consouling herself in her food.

OOC: Another RPG :)

Ron: Ron walked slowly down the corridors by himself, thinking and looking at the floor. He and Hermione had been let out of the hospital earlier that day. Ron's mind was on what Harry was hiding from them. He found himself going toward Sirius's quarter so he shrugged and knocked on the door*
Sirius: Sirius was sitting in a chair, looking over some rolls of parchment Albus had given him that day, when he heard a knock on the door. He waved his wand over the parchment, and they looked like they were blank again. He walked to the door and whispered "yes?"
Ron: Ron cleared his throat. "Sirius? It's Ron..."
Sirius: Sirius opened the door "Ron! Come in."
Ron: *smiles a bit* "Thanks. Uh..." *glances around, feeling slightly uncomfortable since he's never talked to Sirius without Harry.* "Yeah, I was just wondering if you had a bit of time to talk?"
Sirius: Sirius smiled. "Of course! Just sit down in a chair you like. Want a drink?"
Ron: *nods politely* "Sure, i guess"
Sirius: He put 2 goblets on the table in front of them. "Albus teached me this nifty little trick... What do you want to drink?"
Ron: *blinks and looks down at the Goblet* "Uh... butterbeer would be nice, i suppose."
Sirius: Sirius tapped the goblet with his wand, and butterbeer appeared. He tapped on his own goblet, and scotch filled the glass. "There you go!"
Ron: *grins a bit* "Wicked!"
Sirius: Sirius grinned "Isn't it? So. What did you want to talk about?"
Ron: *looks down again* "Er.. well, you hear about the fight in potions class?" *smiles a bit and looks back up*
Sirius: Sirius tried not to smile. "Yes, Arabella told me all about it."
Ron: *laughs a bit* "Yeah, so harry visited me and Hermione in the hospital wing... but, um, he seemed like something was on his his mind. Hermione thinks he's not telling us something. Would you know anything about it?"
Sirius: Sirius looked at Ron. "Harry came to visit me... We talked a bit about the attack on the Dursleys. What did he tell you?"
Ron: "Well, er, he just told us he'd come to see you and that you talked about the Dursley's, but he had a real funny look on his face, and seemed uncomfortable."
Sirius: Sirius took a nip of his scotch. "Well, he's worried about the people he loves. You, Hermione, your parents..."
Ron: *cocks his head* "Well, yeah, but he'd tell us that wouldn't he?"
Sirius: Sirius frowned "He didn't tell you?"
Ron: "Uh... no..." *looks confused*
Sirius: "Oh. Er. Well, he is. Worried. He's worried Voldemort might attack people close to him, like he attacked the Dursleys."
Ron: "Well, yeah, he told us that awhile back but said he doesn't feel guilty anymore. This was something new."
Sirius: Sirius thought about the conversation Harry and he had, about what he could tell Ron. "I think the attack on the Dursleys got him to worry all over again. If he's ever stopped worrying, that is. He's very hard on himself."
Ron: *nods and rolls those thoughts around in his head* "Yeah... he is. Stubborn. Almost as much as Hermione." *smirks*
Sirius: *laughs* Almost. How are things between you and Hermione?
Ron: *raises an eyebrow* "Er... fine, I guess. Why?"
Sirius: *grins* "Oh, no particular reason. You were a little quiet last time I saw you."
Ron: *smirks* "I dunno. I had... stuff on my mind."
Sirius: *leans back* "Anything you want to talk about?"
Ron: *thinks for a moment* "... not really. I don't know why I've been quiet recently."
Sirius: "Maybe the upcoming war?"
Ron: "Maybe... I mean, it seems so bad, but here at Hogwarts with Dumbledore, not much has changed." *pauses and then procedes to feel rather stupid talking about things like this*
Sirius: *nods* "That's right. I'm glad things at Hogwarts haven't changed... yet."
Ron: *smiles a bit and nods* "What do you think will change if or when it does?"
Sirius: *looks thoughtful* "You can never say for sure... But I'm afraid the tension between Slytherin and Gryffindor will grow. I'm sure there are students at Hogwarts who are on Voldemorts side..."
Ron: *frowns and thinks of Malfoy* "I can't believe there are people like that."
Sirius: *looks grim* "Believe me, when I was your age, I couldn't either. Just be careful with what you say. There will always be someone around who'll use it for their own ends."
Ron: *nods slowly and thinks about who he knows that might be with Voldemort* "... what about Snape? Will he stick with us?"
Sirius: *is surprised when he doesn't even hesitate answering* "Yes. He may be a bastard, but he's always been -honest-. I'd watch out for the nice people, like Pettigrew. You can't judge a book by its cover."
Ron: *cocks his head* "I suppose. But Snape used to be a death-eater..."
Sirius: *nods* "Yes. But then we were always quite sure of that. He never made a secret of it. Just like Malfoy and his clan. Seems like Malfoy jr. looks a lot like his father, by the way."
Ron: *smirks* "Yeah. They're quite the team."
Sirius: "Heh. Yeah. Did Harry tell you about my idea, by the way?"
Ron: "Your idea? No, I don't think so..." *remembers he has butterbeer and takes a long swig*
Sirius: *takes a sip from the scotch* "Well, seeing as you three are not going to keep out of things anyway, I proposed we could work together instead."
Ron: "Ooohh!" *leans forward* "Really? You're actually going to let us help out?"
Sirius: *smiles at Ron's enthusiasm* "I think it would be best for all people involved. I think you could help us a lot, if only by keeping your eyes and ears open."
Ron: *raises an eyebrow* "So do we get to do stuff?"
Sirius: "I don't have a real plan yet. I think you'll find out a lot by just observing. Hermione's researching skills could come in handy too. It would help if we had an idea of who was on Voldemort's side, or if anyone would be willing to spy. Especially in Slytherin..."
Ron: *snickers slightly, thinking of the time he and Harry snuck into Slytherin with the Polyjuice potion* "I don't think anyone in Slytherin would help us.
Sirius: "Hmmm. I didn't think there would be Slytherins on Dumbledore's side last time, but apparently he had a lot of spies. I should talk with Snape about this some time." *winces* "Or maybe not."
Ron: *grins*
Sirius: "So. Do you have any ideas about this?"
Ron: "Er..." *thinks a bit* "Not really. I don't know, these things just usually fall on us."
Sirius: "Yes. And... what about your parents? Are they being protected?"
Ron: *nods* "Dumbledore's helping us take care of it"
Sirius: "Good. Do you think Hermione will want to help out as well?"
Ron: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure. As long as it doesn't involve breaking too many rules."
Sirius: *smiles* "I hope it won't. I think I'll walk around Hogwarts a bit, as a dog, of course... Any ideas as where to start?"
Ron: *smiles* "Oh, I don't know... the kitchens were an interesting place to visit."
Sirius: *grins* "Yes, I remember the kitchen. Maybe those house elves want to talk."
Ron: *laughs slightly*
Sirius: *puts down goblet* "Well, I have an appointment with Arabella, and she hates it when I'm late..."
Ron: *nods* "alright, yeah. I suppose I should get ready for class too." *stands and finishes his butterbeer*
Sirius: *stands up* "Alright, then. Please don't talk to the others about this, yet. I want to teach you guys some spells first."
Ron: *grins and nods* "Okay! Thanks, Sirius!" *makes his way out into the halls*
Sirius: *transforms and rushes out to meet Arabella*

OOC: Is anyone awake? Or all we to hyped up for Harry Potter to post? Well, I'll start a bit then. *nudge, nudge*

*Harry walked up to the Gryffindor Common Room*

I said way too much to Ron and Hermione. I know they suspect something! I can't keep secrets.. I'm not very good at them anyway

*sits on his usual chair by the fire in the Common room and lies down.. thinking about Voldemort*

//Harry

Wednesday, November 6, 2002 // 09:27 p.m.
Harry: *walks into the hospital room with books in his hands and a glum look on his face*
Hermione: *Is awake, but drowsy*
Harry: "Are you awake? I have to talk to you both"
Hermione: *grunt* "Yeah..."
Ron: *rubs his eyes and sits up painfully, glancing down at his now healed, but sore wrist* "I'm up, I'm up"
Harry: *shakes head* "What happened to you guys really? I didn't get a chance to hear the full story.. wait - don't tell me yet. I'm sorry I walked out today. I got a bit mad" *looks down* "here's your homework. Now you can tell me what happened"
Ron: *looks at the pile of books with a disgusted face, then turns to Hermione, sighing*
Hermione: "Ugh, long story...care to explain, Ron?" *rubs bump on head*
Harry: "Well, if you're not up to it, I'm sure I';ll find out from someone.. or at least the modified version"
Hermione: "I imagine everyone will try to make it as gruesome as possible...though it was pretty vicious.."
Harry: "I see that"
Ron: *smirks* "I'll give you the short version."
Ron: "Draco was being an ass and decided to irritate us and then used the furnunculus curse on me, giving me boils, and I kind of blew up and tackled him and we fought then Hermione and Pansy started fighting.
Hermione: *goes red* "It does sound bad...even the not-so-bad version"
Ron: Professor Figg took our wands away and tried to stop us but not before Hermione's hair got turned into tentacles, Pansy turned into a flower and Draco and I bloodied each up up pretty good. Then Snape came in."
Harry: *covers his mouth and tries to hold in laughter, but doesn't succeed* "Hermione faught Pansy?"
Harry: "I see.. so where are Draco and Pansy now?"
Ron: *grins* Yeah, IO wish I wasn't so occupied so I could watch a bit" *gives Hermione a little wink*
Hermione: *smirks* "I would have won if she hadn't started KICKING...*goes red* I did NOT just say that! Oh man I'm the worst prefect ever!"
Harry: "No, you're not that bad. But.. why did Draco put boils all over you?"
Ron: *laughs painfully* "We were being smart, i think."
Hermione: "And he's an idiot." *nods*
Ron: *jerks a thumb at Hermione* "She was earning us points by ansering questions so I was obviously happy to see Draco's face."
Harry: "ahh, good. How was Figg's class anyway?"
Hermione: "Well, it was hard to notice much from the floor, but...she seems pretty knowledgeable."
Harry: "OK, I'll be sure to be there next time. Don't get yourselves into anymore trouble. And, jeez, I do feel like Hermione right now"
Ron: *nods* We didn't really get into anything before hell broke loose.
Hermione: *smiles* "Watch out, you'll be made a prefect if you don't quit that out"
Ron: *grins* Wouldn't want that, Harryyyyy
Harry: *scowls*
Hermione: "So...where did you go while we were in...hell?"
Harry: "Snuffles. I decided I need to see him anyway."
Hermione: "Ah...did he have anything interesting to say?"
Ron: *raises an eyebrow and takes a swig of water while listening intently*
Harry: *goes pale* "No.. uhh, nothing, not really"
Ron: *squints and puts his glass down* "Nothing?"
Hermione: *raises an eyebrow* "Well, if you don't want to tell us, fine...but I don't see why you can't..."
Harry: "Well, I told him about the Dursley's and all, and he hadn't heard so i talked to him about that. Surrounding that"
Ron: *crosses his arms* "So why's your face look like that? You're not still feeling guilty are you?"
Harry: *shakes head* "Nope."
Ron: *cocks his head* "Okay then... then you feeling sick? you're all white."
Harry: *can't stand not telling them about what Sirius told him* "Yeah.. I have a bit of a headache. I'm going to get back to Gryffindor Tower."
Ron: *nods slowly* "Okay... hopefully Madame Pomfrey will let us out soon"
Hermione: *looks up* "Harry, what's up? What aren't you telling us?"
Ron: *blinks, feeling stupid that he missed something like usual*
Harry: "I'm not telling you nothing, cuz I don't have anything to tell" *says confidently*
Hermione: *turns away* "fine, fine...we'll try to go up to the dormitory tonight...Madam Pomfrey will probably let us."
Harry: "Okay, I'll be there. Bye!"
Ron: *nods and waves to harry as he leaves, wondering what Hermione was talking about*
Hermione: *sighs and turns to Ron* "I still think he's not telling us something...I don't know..I suppose we should write to our parents tonight, if Dumbledore hasn't already."
Ron: *nods* "Yeah... but what wouldn't Harry tell us?"
Ron: "I mean, if he can't tell us, who can't he tell?"
Hermione: "I don't know...I just have a feeling...it's probably just something stupid. Oh well, we should get started on some of this homework!" *looks enthusiastic*
Ron: *gloomily pokes his homework* "You're weir, hermione, bloody weird."
Hermione: *grins* "Why thank you"

Hope you enjoyed that one, we certainly did ^_^

*Has just taken the potion, and is asleep....but she has a dream! O.O*

DREAM: Hermione is running through the Hogwarts grounds, when she sees dark cloaked people walking toward her, surrounding her. They all have wands and are closing in on her, when she looks down and realizes she is standing on the surface of the lake. Once she realizes this, she falls through the surface and is being dragged down into the lake. The water is cold and keeps getting darker as she sinks, but she cannot swim to the top. Suddenly a hand plunges through the water, grabs her hand and pulls her up...she is almost at the surface, when she wonders who is saving her...all she can see is flashes of bright orange, but before she can break the surface of the water she jerks awake...

What was THAT??

*Falls back to sleep*

//Hermione

Saturday, November 2, 2002 // 05:00 p.m.
Figg: Arabella waited impatiently behind her desk, for the bell to ring and students to come.
Hermione: *Is walking toward the DADA class with Ron*
Pansy: *walks in to the class room and takes her seat, impatiently waiting for Draco*
Draco: Draco leaves the slytherin commonroom, books in hand he heads towards the dada class.
Ron: Ron stuffs his hands in his rockets and looks at the floo as they reach the corridor that holds the DADA classroom
Draco: He turns the corner onto the dada corridor, eyes narrowing as he spots weasley and granger
Pansy: *sits at her desk, drawing little anime figures and day dreaming about Draco*
Hermione: *Sees Malfoy and narrows eyes...his father was one of the reasons that her family was in danger...*
Ron: *sighs as he sees Draco, really not wanting to deal with that slimeball at this tense time. He tries to reach the door before they come face to face*
Draco: smirking, he glares at Granger. Stuffing his free hand in his pocket, he saunters up to them, knowing it would aggravate them. "So, where's scarface?"
Hermione: "That's none of your business, Malfoy.."
Ron: *glares and tries to turn and open the door before Draco does any more*
Hermione: *Sees Ron head for door and follows*
Draco: narrowing his eyes, he shrugged. a mask of inddiference on his face. following them to the door. not really having a choice, because he needed to gte to class.
Hermione: *Walks through the door and sits down next to Ron and an empty seat which Harry usually filled*
Pansy: *watches as draco walks thru the door and shrieks 'Draaco! over heeeeere!'*
Ron: *leans back, and can't help but smirk at Pansy's shrieking*
Draco: walking through the door, he heads on over to the desk Pansy is at. Cringing a bit at the shrieking. Dropping his books on the desk. :hello"
Pansy: *oh draco you just wont BELIVE what has happend!*
Figg:Arabella tries not to laugh as she watches them come in. tapping her fingers on the desk, she looks towards the clock. Standing up she heads to the door closing it as the bel
Draco: dropping into the seat "i cant guess. what happened?"
Hermione: *glumly gets out books parchment and a quill*
Pansy: i broke a nail! annd i saw potty head go to dumbledore's office
Figg: Walking back to the front of the class, she sits on the edge of her desk and clears her throat for the class to be quiet. Looking pointedly at Pansy.
Draco: "so thats where scarface is then? poor baby..poor baby, probably had a nightmare" shaking his head, then turning to look at the teacher.
Hermione: *Narrows eyes at Malfoy, then turns toward the teacher*
Ron: Ron's head jerks in Malfoy's direaction, his face reddenig in anger.
Pansy: *looks at the teacher, oblivious to any looks she may recive*
Figg: Seeing that she has most of the classes attention, she smiled. "Hello everyone. I am Arabella Figg. You may call me Professor Figg. I shall be teachign you Defense
Figg: Against the Dark Arts this year. Before we begin does anyone have any questions?"
Pansy: *pansy's hand shoots up in the air*
Figg: she nodded to the girl "yes, miss..?"
Pansy: *are we going to work with pixies?*
Hermione: *rolls eyes*
Pansy: *glares at ron*
Draco: snorting at her question, he tries to hide a laugh.
Ron: *raises an eyebrow and smirks back at Pansy*
Pansy: *is confused by the fact noone will answer her question*
Figg: smiling she shook her head no "no my dear, we will not be working with pixies this year"
Hermione: *Raises hand*
Pansy: *oh :pouts:*
Figg: nodding towards Hermione "yes miss granger?"
Hermione: "Will we be doing much hands-on learning this year? If so, when will we start?"
Pansy: *:cough:brainiac:cough:*
Ron: *twitches slightly, his nerves wearing thin*
Hermione: *Ignores Pansy, glances at Ron, then looks back to Figg*
Figg: "Yes. Dumbledore has asked me to teach you guys some defense techniques, as well as train you in duling. But we wont begin any hands on lessons until we finsish the theory, so about sometime after christmas holidays"
Pansy: *sticks tounge out at granger*
Hermione: *Ignores Pansy but is slowly becoming more aggravated*
Pansy: *basks in the apparent aggrivation of weasly and granger*
Figg: Raising an eyebrow at the students "Is that all?"
Draco: just watches the happenings, smirking.
Hermione: *Bites lip then forces a smile to Prof. Figg to show there are no more questions*
Ron: *eventually turns back to the professor*
Figg: smiling she nodded. "alright then please open you text to p
Figg: age 30. According to Dumbledore you guys have been exposed to the Imperius curse. So we will begin with theory on that. Can anyone tell me what the Imperious curse does?"
Hermione: *Hand shoots up*
Figg: "yes miss granger?"
Pansy: *bangs head to imaginary music, drawing little flowers and hearts in her book*
Ron: *smiles at Hermione's usual enthusiasm*
Hermione: "The Imperius Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, puts a person under your total control...only some have been known to fight it, and if used illegally, it can put someone in Azkaban for life."
Figg: "right. 5 points to Gryffindor. Now can anyone tell me why someone would want to do this?"
Draco: Draco raises his hand
Figg: "yes mr. malfoy?"
Draco: "to have power over the person. The more people you hold under your control, the more power you have. "
Hermione: *Narrows eyes and whispers to Ron* "Wonder why he'd know THAT..."
Ron: *snickers silently*
Pansy: *raises hand*
Figgs: "yes miss parkinson?"
Pansy: will this be on a test?
Draco: Malfoy rolls his eyes and glares at Weasley and Granger, reaching in his pocket pulling out his wand holding it under the desk. Whispering a few words, he waits for the boils to start popping up on Weasley.
Draco: putting his wand away before anyone could see it
Ron: *still smirking, suddenly he feels his skin get warm and looks fown at his hands. Small blister began to form and then grew into large boils all over his palms and began traveling up his arms*
Ron: *he let out a cry of anguish and bolted to his feet, spinning around, his eyes narrowed at Malfoy*
Hermione: *Glances at Ron and sees large boils spreading rapidly over his arms*
Hermione: *Shrieks*
Pansy: *pouts cuz professor figg didn't answer her*
Pansy: *laughs hystarically when she sees weasly has boils all over his arm*
Ron: *the boils spread quickly all over his skin and are eventually spreading up his neck and onto his freckled, furiously red face*
Figg: "no, pansy it won';t.." she trailed off as Hermione shrieked and saw the boils popping up on Rons arms. Heading over them surprised.
Pansy: ooh
Figg: Taking out her wand she says the countercurse and the boils stop, but the ones already there remain.
Pansy: *continues laughing*
Hermione: *Pulls out wand and hits Pansy with the Furnunculous Curse*
Ron: *without thinking, dashes away from the professor and Hermione and leaps at Malfoy, a clenched fists cuffing the blonde boy across the face*
Pansy: *screams*
Draco: Glaring at Ron, holding his cheek. he punches him in the stomach
Pansy: *cries*
Hermione: *Runs over to Ron and Malfoy*
Figg: "oh..dear..please, stop it.." flustered she looks between the two "mr. weasley, miss granger...mr. malfoy, miss parkinson..pelase stop."
Pansy: *stops crying at the realization she looks like a flower*
Hermione: *Yells at Figg* "DO SOMETHING!"
Ron: *doubles over and tackles him, pulling him down to the floor*
Pansy: *picks up wand and makes granger's hair turn into tentacles*
Hermione: *feels Pansy's spell hit her, then screams as she feels her hair*
Hermione: *Forgets about being a Prefect, and her fist somehow collides with Pansy's face*
Figg: *whispering another spell
Figg: he grabs all the wands heading towards her. Walking in between Malfoy and Weasley she glares at the lot of them "50 points from slytherin and gryffindor. 2 weeks detention for
Pansy: *pulls grangers ha-tentacles*
Draco: ignoring figg he kicks ron in the stomach, trying to shove him off.
Hermione: *Wand gone, she kicks the back of Pansy's legs making her fall over*
Pansy: *pulls granger down with her*
Hermione: *The rest of the class is standing around watching*
Ron: *grunting at the pain in his stomach, he repeatedly connets knuckles with Draco's nose*
Ron: connects*
Draco: reaching up he grabs ron's fist as he hits him again. and twists it sideways, smirking as he hears a crunch Pansy: *gets up and kicks granger*
Ron: *cries out and retaliates by kneeing Malfoy in the gut*
Hermione: *screams in pain*
Snape: Snape walks through the corridors near the DADA classroom, when he hears a noise
Figg: reaching over she tries to pull Weasley and Malfoy off eachother. Seeing snape "please..help!"
Pansy: *shouts: I AM IN MY TRUE FORM! and punches granger again*
Snape: When he recognizes someone screaming, he decides to go check
Hermione: *Is knocked backwards and head hits the ground, knocking her out*
Snape: He opens the door swiftly, and stares in shock at the mess in the classroom
Pansy: *screams power to the flower! and runs around laughing*
Draco: wincing he lets go of Rons wrist, finally pushing him off. and accidentaly hitting Mrs Figg
Hermione: *Lays on the floor...still knocked out...*
Ron: *rolls across the floor then painfully gets to his feet when he hears pansy shout*
Snape: "WEASLEY! MALFOY!"
Ron: *eyes go wide as he sees Hermione and limp over toher, clutching his wrist, then freezing at Snape's outburst*
Ron: limps over to her*
Pansy: *runs to weasly and knocks him in the head*
Snape: *shouts* "What is happening here????"
Figg: *putting a hand where she was hit she shakes her head and heads over to miss granger. Pointing her wand at her she says "ennervate" and waits for her to wake up.
Snape: "Arabella?"
Hermione: *Jerks awake* "Huh? Oww...."
Ron: *stares down at Hermione, his instincts making him ignore SNape* "Hermione! Are you alright??"
Snape: "Arabella, are you alright? Granger?" Snape looks around in what close friends might recognize as panic
Pansy: *continues running around the room until she runs into a wall*
Hermione: "Ron....did I just...brawl?"
Pansy: *falls back*
Figg: "we were just having class. Then Mr. Weasley starts
Ron: *would laugh but is in too much pain, so he just smiles slightly and nods*
Hermione: "Oh dear....."
Snape: *grits teeth* "Weasley. OUT. To Dumbledore. NOW."
Figg: sprouting boils, and then miss granger hit pansy with a curse, then weasley attacked malfoy and all hell broke loose...and no one would listen. i took there wandsa away took points away and tried to pull them apart but it didnt work
Ron: *jerks up at his name* "Malfoy used magic on me!!! Look at my skin!!:
Hermione: *Hears Figg* "No! It wasn't Ron's fault!"
Pansy: *:cries: i can nol onger be my inner self!*
Snape: "And where is Potter? Off with Dumbledore AGAIN?"
Ron: *red as a tomatoe* "Harry has NOTHING to do with this!!"
Hermione: *rubs head*
Draco: stands aside just watching everyone, looking at pansy he shakes his head, looking down at the ground.
Snape: "I'd think in the light of what happened yesterday, the students could at least have been MORE CAREFUL."
Pansy: *professor! she made me look like a flower!! :points at granger:*
Pansy: *not that i'm complaining...but still!*
Ron: * holds his hand out to Hermione to help her up, though realzing she probably wouldn't want to grab his puffy hand*
Snape: *waves wand in Pansy's direction* "There you are. And now, OUT. Go to your dorm."
Hermione: *Looks at Ron's hand, and grabs his arm, which is covered by his robes instead*
Pansy: *but professor we were going to have a tea party!*
Hermione: *Scowls at Pansy and struggles to stay standing*
Snape: "OUT. Or do you want me to give you a detention?"
Pansy: *no ma'm*
Ron: *heaves Hermione up and holds her there, then procedes to tug her towards the door*
Pansy: :grabs stuff, smirks at weasly and granger and leaves*
Figg: glaring at pansy and the rest of them she waves her hand shakily to the door "class dismissed. I'll contact you with your detentions. 50 points form both houses"
Snape: "Now, Weasley. OUT. Go to Pomfrey. We'll decide on punishment later."
Hermione: *Shakes head* "Sir...it wasn't his fault.."
Ron: *curses under his breath, and tugs on Hermione, no need for her to get in trouble*
Figg: "that wont be necessary professor snape, I already gave them there punishments.."
Snape: *glares at Hermione* "Granger. I suggest you visit Pomfrey as well."
Hermione: *hurts too much to say much* "Yes, sir..." *looks down*
Snape: "Figg. Seeing as you couldn't even control this situation..."
Ron: *lead Hermione out of the classroom*
Hermione: "I shouldn't have lost my temper...I'm the worst prefect in the whole school.." *Looks like she's about to cry*
Figgs: sighing, she glared half-heartedly at him "I tried! noone would even listen to me... no matter what i did.." she bit her lip, already feeling bad enough about this happening..
Snape: *hears Hermione leave the classroom* "I agree." he sneered
Pansy: *wonders down the hall realizing she called snape ma'm she falls to the floor laughing*
Snape: "Figg. You have magic. You could have summoned Dumbledore. Instead, you let 15 year old KIDS take control of the situation." he says, like he's talking to an overgrown worm.
Hermione: *Hears Pansy laughing* "Oh she's horrible...come on Ron, I need to sit or something..."
Draco: glares at the floor, hand over his nose, and heads out the door. Passing weasley and granger, ignoring them, he heads towardsthe common room
Snape: *seeing everyone leave, he motions Arabella to sit down*
Ron: *discreetly flips Snape the bird then walks out with Hermione, supporting her with his unbroken arm. Seeing her panicked expression, he gave her a slight gentle squeeze* "Not your fault, Hermione. I started it all..."
Pansy: *goes into the common room and to her dormitory, laughing the whole time*
Figg: sighing she sits down at her desk, head in her hands.
Snape: *feeling a tug of guilt, he sits down*, thinking "Oh no. I'm going soft in my old days."
Figg: Looking up at Snape, she waited for his lecture
Hermione: *Limps along holding onto Ron's unbroken arm*
Snape: *looking at Arabella, he sees she's in no state for a lecture* "Arabella. What happened?"
Pansy: *writes in her diary about the fight in DADA, so that she can boast about it this evening*
Ron: *they slowly, slowly make their way to the hospital wing, Ron's face scrunched in pain, but still more worried about Hermione, he cracks a smile* "I finally got the chance to give Malfoy a bloody nose"
Hermione: *grins slightly but shakes head* "Still...50 points.."
Ron: *shrugs but then stops shrugging seeing as how it produced more pain* "We'll earn it back easily. You get us 'bout 30 a day just for answering all those questions"
Figg: she shook her head, feeling old and tired "I don't know. We were just talking about the imperious
Figg: curse..then Weasley started sprouting boils..and it just went crazy. No matter what I did or threatened they wouldn't stop. "
Hermione: *Goes red and can't suppress a smile*
Ron: *grins back at her, his lip bleeding slightly, but his face no longer beat red*
Snape: *tries to scrunch his face into a comforting smile* "Which is understandable, seeing as you had GRYFFINDORS in your class."
Figg: shaking her head, she smiled a bit at that. thankful some things never changed "yes. whats with those four anyway?"
Snape: "Four?" Snape scrunched up his face again, thinking the Gryffindors multiplied while he wasn't watching
Figg: "malfoy, granger, weasley and parkinson. everythign seemed to be ok, just a bit of tension..then bam. they all start trying to kill eachother.."
Hermione: *walks slowly up the staircase to the hospital wing*
Snape: "Malfoy and the Gryffindors are like fire and water. Some things never change."
Pansy: *reaches into her trunk and pulls out a chocolate frog. Opens it, and catches it when it jumps and eats it*
Ron: *knocks on Madame Pomfrey's door with an elbow*
Figg: she shrugged, pushing some stray hand from her face. wincing as she feels a bruise on her cheek "shame it can't.."
Snape: *sees her bruise* "Who did this?"
Figg: she shook her head "i'm not sure..."
Snape: *grits his teeth* "Little brats, even hurting professors now" *waves his wand to heal the bruise*
Pomfrey: *opens door 'Mr. Weasly! Ms. Granger! What HAPPEND?*
Ron: *glances at Hermione* "Er... there was a bit of a fight in our DADA class."
Ron: "Malfoy started it" he added quickly
Pomfery: *Oh you poore dears! Now, now, dont play the blame game that's my job :-)*
Figg: she smiled a bit "thanks.."
Snape: "Now, we'd better be off to Dumbledore, to prevent happenings like this in the future."
Hermione: *limps into hospital wing*
Pomfery: *:helps Ms. Granger to a bed: Now you sit*
Figg:nodding she stands up, heading towards the door. She looks around at her disheveled clasroom and shakes her head. waiting at the door for snape
Ron: Ron winced and watched Hermione closely as she sat down. "Malfoy did something to my wrist... and then there's the boils...."
Pomfery: *You take a seat, too Mr. Weasly*
Snape: Snape waved his wand again, cleaning up the classroom with a simple spell, thinking "Look at me, even resorting to wand waving now" *scowls*
Hermione: *lays down and rubs a large bump on her head and feels a black eye coming*
Pomfery: * Now you two stay there while i fix you something. :tries to walk into her office thru the wall, but bumps into it. realizing she's not a ghost, uses the door.:*
Ron: *sits down, clutching his wrist still, biting his lip*
Hermione: "Are you alright, Ron?"
Ron: *smiles and straightens, trying to hide the pain* "I'm fine, Hermione. How's your head?"
Figg: she shrugged looking at the room "i was just going to leave it till later.." ive been gone too long, she thought
Hermione: *winces* "It's fine...not broken.." *looks at his wrist*
Snape: Looking at his former professor, he started walking towards Dumbledore's office
Pomfery: *:walks back out holding two goblets.: Miss Granger, please sit up. :hands granger a goblet:*
Ron: *can't help but chuckle slightly* "Well, this will be a great story to tell Harry."
Pomfery: *:walks over to weasly: Mr. Weasly, :hands weasly goblet:*
Figgs: she shut the door and followed him down the hall
Ron: *takes the goblet from Pomfrey with his free hand*
Pomfery: *Now you two drink up. It has some erm slight side effects, but you'll feel just fine*
Hermione: *groans and drinks, choking a little*
Ron: *looks at the liquid for a moment, before raising it to his lips and gulping it down*
Hermione: *Puts down goblet, then falls back against the bed as it makes her fall asleep*
Ron: *feeling drowsy, Ron sets the goblet down on the endtable next to the beds, and lies back, gazing over at Hermione as she falls asleep, smiles slightly, shaking his head then konks out himself*
Snape: Arriving at Dumbledore's office, he spoke the password, opened the door and walked in……

Hello, here's another RP, of Harry and Sirius:

Harry: *knocks on Sirius' door*
Sirius: *walks to the door* "Hello?"
Harry: "It's just me"
Sirius: "Harry! Come in."
Harry: "Hi" *walks in and sits down on a chair*
Sirius: *seeing Harry's face, he gets concerned* "Harry? Is everything alright?" *sits down in the other chair*
Harry: *gets up* "Well.. didn't you hear about the Dursleys? Their house got attacked yesterday. It's not them I'm concerned about.. it's everyone else"
Sirius: *looks shocked* "Oh no. No one told me..." *puts his hand on Harry's shoulder*
Harry: "Oh no, I'm fine.. what about Ron and Hermione's families?
Sirius: "What did Albus say? Come, you better sit down."
Harry: "About Ron and Hermione?"
Sirius: "Just, in general... I didn't speak with him yet."
Harry: "In general.. well, he was sort of brief. Err.. he said basically what I said."
Sirius: "Do you know what happened to the Dursleys?"
Harry: "Well, Cruciatus curse. I don't think they were hurt badly, and frankly I don't care, just that I'm scared about them trying to hurt people I really care about"
Sirius: "Yeah, I can imagine... But they're still your family" *looks troubled for a moment* "Er... but about Hermione and Ron. Hermione's parents are Muggles, right?"
Harry: "Yes"
Sirius: *gets up from his chair* "Oh. I guess... We'll have to take action to protect them, then. Especially if they're Muggles."
Harry: "Yeah.. well, I'm worried.. and I'm sure they're worried too"
Sirius: *turns around* "They'll be OK, Harry. It's a different situation than 15 years ago, Hermione's or Ron's parents shouldn't be important to Voldemort."
Harry: "Yea-- never mind"
Sirius: "No, I'm not saying I'm guaranteeing they're out of danger, just that I'm sure Dumbledore will take precautions. If that..." *makes a face* "Rat. Hadn't been a traitor all these years ago your parents would have still been alive. Dumbledore won't make another mistake like that."
Harry: "I know he won't. Of course he won't"
Sirius: "But you're still worried, right?"
Harry: "Yes.. aren't you?"
Sirius: "I am. I'm very concerned about the situation. Do you... do you think you could let us deal with it and keep out of it yourself though? Honestly?"
Harry: "I'll try to keep out of it. You know what happens with me.. I always end up getting involved in things"
Sirius: *looks thoughtful* "I know... that's why I want to ask you something. Would you like to... work with me against Voldemort? I think you can't keep out of it anyway, so I'd rather have you working with me than behind my back."
Harry: *looks interested* "Yes!!!!"
Sirius: *smiles* "Alright. I think Ron and Hermione's parents will be safest if you 3 are helping us, because you obviously know more than we do."
Harry: "They can help too? Can I go tell them? They might not be too happy with me right now.. it might brighten things up. I sorta walked out on them in the owlery"
Sirius: "Yes, I think they should be in. I'm not sure what Albus will think of this, but I think you're all involved, no matter how old you are. Were they angry with you?"
Harry: "No, they weren't angry. They were trying to comfort me. I just ran away cause I got frustrated"
Sirius: *looks concerned* "You do know none of this is your fault, right? It really isn't. You can't help any of this."
Harry: *looks defeated* "I guess it's not..."
Sirius: *walks to Harry, puts both his hands on his shoulders* "Harry. It really isn't. It's not your fault Voldemort was after your parents, it had nothing to do with you. You're just a kids. If fully trained wizards couldn't defeat you, how could you have done it last year? It's a miracle you're still alive."
Harry: *looks at Sirius*
Sirius: "You've been so brave these last few years. Not many wizards can say they've met with Voldemort eye to eye and survived the experience. The fact you've managed to escape all those times shows you're a great wizard, Harry. None of this has been your mistake."
Harry: "Ok, thanks"
Sirius: *smiles slightly* "But you don't believe me. You're so much like your mother, Harry, even though you *look* like your father."
Harry: "You have to have a bit of both sides... I believe you."
Sirius: *feeling like he'd hit some wall, he sat down in his chair again* "She would have been so proud of you. Just like James." *smiles*
Harry: *face screws up* *shrugs*
Sirius: *raises his eybrows* "why are you so hard on yourself?"
Harry: "I don't know.. I've always been hard on my self"
Sirius: "Look at yourself. You're a great boy. You're nice, you're intelligent, you have great friends. You have a lot of magical talent, among other talents. A lot of people care about you, and that's not about that scar on your forehead. Why would you still be hard on yourself?"
Harry: *shrugs* I told you, I've always been like this. It just comes.. I don't really think about it. Actually, it never really started until I found out the truth about my parents"
Sirius: "Do you feel guilty about that?"
Harry: "Yes, you know, I've never really talked about this to anyone"
Sirius: *smiles* "It's good to talk sometimes. All those pent up emotions just make for headaches and stomach aches."
Harry: *grins*
Sirius: "So, why'd you feel guilty?"
Harry: "I'm not even going to tell you cause you'll yell at me"
Harry: "Why do you think?"
Sirius: "Yell at you? Have I ever yelled at you?"
Harry: "No, I mean nag"
Harry: "-- Uh.. I never said that"
Sirius: "I won't. I promise I'll just listen, and I'm sure I won't get angry."
Harry: "Fine. Because I practically killed my parents. Isn't it obvious to everyone?"
Sirius: *stares at Harry* "You killed your parents? Why do you think that?"
Harry: "Yes.. I did, because my mother tried to save me!"
Sirius: "You have to see it like this. Though your mother died to save you, you did not *kill* her. Your mother loved you so much. She couldn't have beared to live without both you and James. It would have killed her. You were just an innocent baby, it's horrible you had to go through all this. It's not even remotely your fault."
Harry: "Okay"
Harry: "I believe you Sirius"
Sirius: "You don't feel guilty for living, do you?"
Harry: "No"
Harry: "I'm glad I'm here.. I don't want to die."
Sirius: *looks relieved* "I'm glad you don't. I'm very, very happy you survived, it's like a part of James and Lily is still alive. And I like you, Harry. Not just because you're their son."
Harry: "Yes, I suppose most people are"
Sirius: *smiles* "Only most people?"
Harry: "What about Death Eaters.... and.. er.. Snape!"
Sirius: *grins broadly* "Believe me, you don't want to be liked by Snape. I don't think anyone would survive the experience."
Sirius: *frowns* "Although..." *trails off*
Harry: "Although what?"
Sirius: "Er... never mind"
Harry: "No, I told you stuff.. now you tell me"
Sirius: *laughs* "Uh oh. I guess you have a point there. Well... Snape did save your life a couple of times. He's er... been looking out for you."
Harry: "Once."
Harry: "And I think he does it to look good"
Sirius: *looks at the ground* "I think he doesn't. I don't think he hates you as much as you think."
Harry: "Well, why does he make our life a living hell?"
Sirius: *frowns* "That bad? He just hates me with a passion. He hated the four of us... But he seemed to like Lily."
Harry: "Well, you too.. but I meant me, Ron and Hermione"
Sirius: "Er... yes. I think... He hates all Gryffindors, to begin with. And he... He er... You know he was a death eater, right?"
Harry: "Yeah, I found out last year"
Sirius: "Do you... Hmmm. I'm not sure if you know about this, but I'd like to keep this an absolute secret. Between me and you. Ok?"
Harry: "Okay, can I tell Ron and Hermione?"
Sirius: "Would you mind if it was just between me and you, for this one time?"
Harry: "Okay, I won't tell them."
Sirius: "Ok... Snape is a spy for Dumbledore currently. He's risking his life to get information for us, from Voldemort and the death eaters."
Harry: Ah. That was suspected. That's why Dumbledore trusts him?"
Sirius: "It's not the reason he trusts him, but... yes. I think he is to be trusted. So he has a certain image to keep as well... I'm not defending him, I hate him too, but he has his reasons."
Harry: "Okay, I got it. Thanks for telling me. And I promise I'll tell you stuff that I find out. Err.. yeah. I'm going to go apologize to Ron and Hermione"
Sirius: "Ok... I'll talk to Dumbledore and Remus about this. And I might even have to talk to Snape." *scrunches up his face*
Harry: "Ugh. Try to avoid it. Thanks then, bye, I'll come see you soon!"
Sirius: *smiles* "I'm glad you stopped by. Good luck with Hermione and Ron."
Harry: *rolls eyes* "Thanks."
Harry: *opens door and walks out*
Sirius: *grinning, he closes the door*

Tuesday, October 29, 2002 // 07:41 p.m.
Hermione: *Hermione could not sleep the past night, and was woken up quite early...instead of laying in bed, she decided to do some schoolwork in the common room until breakfast time*
Hermione: *about an hour later...*
Ron: *Ron yawned and scratched his head, stepping down the staircase in his pajamas. He walks over and plops down into his usual chair next to Hermione* "Morning, Hermione..." he says, still obviously half asleep.
Hermione: *looks up* "Good morning...sleep well?"
Hermione: *checks over parchment and puts it away, sighing*
Ron: *shrugs* "eh, I slept okay, I guess..." *peers over at her parchement and rolls his eyes, smiling a bit* "homework, already, Hermione?"
Hermione: "I couldn't sleep...I heard you and Harry last night...did I miss out on something funny?"
Ron: *it took a few seconds for Ron's mind to register what she was asking and remember their conversation. He shook his head* "Oh, it was nothing. Just stupid stuff, you know."
Hermione: "Hmm...is he still sleeping?" Ron: *nods and runs a hand through his hair, gazing at her for a moment* "Yeah. Quidditch wore him out I think."
Hermione: "Ah. Do you think it's almost time for breakfast?"
Ron: *nods again* Yeah, I'll go wake him up. *turns to go to the stairs*
Hermione: "I'm going to get my stuff for morning classes"
Ron: *smiles back at her and continues to go get Harry*
Hermione: *walks down the dorm stairs into the Common Room with transfiguration and arithmancy books*
Hermione: *Sees Ron is not back, so sits down on a chair and nods off*
Ron: *walks into the dorm and goes over to Harry's bunk*
Harry: *groans when he hears someone walking to his bed*
Ron: *grins down at the sleeping boy then bends down and gives him a good shove* "Harry! Time to wake up, sleeping beauty!"
Harry: *groans again* "Shut up.. I was going to get up" *opens eyes*
Harry: "I'll be down in a sec. You go downstairs"
Ron: *laughs and shrugs* "Okay, whatever." *turns back and walks down the stairs, rubbing some of the sleep out of his eyes*
Hermione: *is now sleeping on the armchair in front of the fire*
Ron: *glances around then spots Hermione's fluffy hair hanging over the back of an armchair. walks over and smiles then taps her shoulder lightly*
Hermione: *Jumps* "What? Oh...sorry, didn't sleep well...is Harry up?"
Harry: *walks downstairs* "Yes.. now I am"
Harry: "No thanks to Ron" *ahem*
Hermione: "Good morning. Shall we go down to breakfast?"
Ron: *grins and shrugs* "Guess so."
Harry: "Yeah sure"
Hermione: *Walks out of portrait hole with Harry and Ron*
Harry: "What's wrong with us? How come we can't talk?"
Hermione: "I'm just really tired...I dunno about you two."
Harry: "Mm hmm.. that's it.. something going on between you too?"
Hermione: *raises an eyebrow* "What are you talking about?"
Harry: "I knew it!" *nods and laughs*
Harry: *dances around ron and hermione* "weeee!"
Ron: *laughs* Harry, you're a bloody git
Harry: "No I'm not! haha!"
Hermione: "Yeah you are, Harry" *smiles*
Harry: *McGonagall walks up to an exuberant Harry* "Dumbledore would like to see you.. in his office"
Hermione: *Looks startled* "What's this about?"
Harry: *looks at hermione and Ron* *shrugs* "Okay"
Ron: *blinks* "Do we get to come?"
Harry: McGonagall: "Well, I understand that you'd want to acompany your friends, but I think Professor Dumbledore would like to see Mr Potter alone."
Hermione: *looks worried* "Alright...do you know how long it'll take?"
Harry: McGonagall: "Should be back for the end of breakfast"
Harry: *shrugs* "Okay guys, I'll see you later"
Hermione: "Alright...we'll wait in the great hall for you, then"
Ron: *still a slightly worried expression on his face* "Okay, then. I'll save you some bacon!"
Harry: *smiles back*
Hermione: *walks into great hall with Ron* "I wonder what that's about?"
Ron: *thinks* "I don't know. I'm sure everythin will be alright." *reaches their table and takes a seat*
Hermione: *sits down next to Ron and takes some eggs* "I honestly can't think of anything Dumbledore could want him for...unless its about missing that Potions lesson"
Ron: *shakes his head and piles his plate* "Naw, I can see McGonagall getting involved there, but not Dumbledore... maybe it's about Si... Snuffles."
Hermione: "Maybe...but then why couldn't we go with?"
Ron: "Maybe it's some personal thing. Harry'll probably tell us, but maybe Dumbledore wasn't sure if we should be there or not."
Ron: "Or McGonagall is just being her usual stuffy self and doesn't want us tagging along"
Hermione: "Well, I'm sure she has a reason...she might be strict, but she's still pretty fair."
Harry: *walks into the great hall and pale face* *sits down*
Hermione: *looks worried* "What was that about?"
Ron: *looks over at Harry* "You look like you've seen a ghost!"
Harry: "Well, err.. The Death Eaters attacked The Dursleys, which I don't mind.. they're in the hospital now. I'm putting people in danger"
Harry: "Don't even try and say that's not true cause it is"
Hermione: *chokes* "WHAT?? Are they OK? How did they...why? What else did Dumbledore say??"
Ron: *gets wide-eyed and slightly pale, and stops eating* "sshh, Hermione, keep you voice down!"
Hermione: "Come on, let's get out of here....someone might hear us.."
Harry: "Okay"
Harry: "The Dursley's are fine.. I guess they're trying to show that they'll hurt anyone I know"
Hermione: *turns very white* "come on..let's go find a more private place to talk"
Harry: *Looks at Ron and Hermione with a nervous face* I think you should tell your parents to get somewhere safer"
Harry: "Both of you? They could be hurt.. you know?"
Ron: *follows Harry and Hermione out into the hall and shakes his head* "Harry, no WAY. They might be after YOU. And besides, where's safer than at Hogwarts?"
Harry: *starts walking out with Ron and Hermione*
Hermione: "Good idea....let's go to the owlery...no one will be up there yet"
Harry: "No, I'm talking about your parents.. Not YOU I'm not worried about you until you step out of Hogwarts"
Hermione: "Well let's go send owls to our parents...they're Muggles though, how will they hide?"
Ron: *gets very pale, even his freckles lighten* "Dad's with the minitstry, he'd now about this. And mum's with him. Charlie's back in Romania..."
Harry: "Beats me? God.. I'm sorry.."
Ron: *narrows his eyes and looks at Harry sympathetically* "Harry, there are horrible wizards in the world, it's not your fault they've targeted you."
Harry: "Yes it is. That's the whole reason he's risen again"
Ron: "But that's not your fault! Harry, it's not like you chose to defeat him when you were a baby."
Hermione: "You-Know-Who doesn't care about that, Ron. He's blinded by his power...he LIKES killing...Harry's just an excuse to kill more innocent people..."
Harry: *Looks at Ron* "I'm going to... Transfiguration"
Harry: *walks out*
Hermione: *turns to Ron* "Oh my god...what are we going to do?"
Ron: *watches Harry go, mouth left hanging slightly opened, then turned to Hermione slowly, guilt and worry filling his eyes* "I don't know, Hermione..."
Hermione: "Well..." *sighs* "Ron, I'm worried...my parents are MUGGLES...they'll be You-Know-Who's first targets if he finds out Harry's one of my best friends!"
Ron: *stops thinking about how guilty Harry feels for a moment, and grasps Hermione's shoulders gently* "Let's go to Dumbledore."
Hermione: *Is scared, but feels somewhat comforted by Ron* "alright...we can send the owls at lunch break..."
Hermione: *Walks away with Ron*'

Pansy snaps out of her trance as someone sits near the fire. She looks around and discovers it's Draco, and moves closer to him.

//Pansy

Friday, October 25, 2002 // 07:12 a.m.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, Draco enters the common room. Looking around he notices Goyle, Crabbe and some others playing poker in the back of the common room, and Pansy in front of the fire. Shaking his head, he walks over to a seat near the fireplace. (( mines littleplaygerl...but yeah.

Saturday, October 19, 2002 // 02:08 p.m.
OOC: this is long overdue, it's a little RP, featuring Cho, Hermione, Padma, Parvati and Snape. This odd group had a potions class over AIM. I'm very sorry about posting this so late, I could blame it on the editing job (which was very confusing as Hermione and Cho are the same person, as well as Padma and Parvati), but actually it's all my own fault. So. I'll just be here burying my head in the sand while you can all smack me.

Parvati: *enters classroom*
Snape: *walks through the hall, glaring at anyone that dared look at him*
Hermione: *Hermione was in the great hall with Harry and Ron when Professor McGonigall said she needed to speak with them...Hermione said she'd meet them at Potions, and she left early to find someone to talk to before class*
Parvati: *sits down*
Snape: *seeing the Granger girl, he thinks it would be nice to confront her for a moment, before changint his mind and walking fast in the direction of his classroom*
Hermione: *She walks to the dungeon and waits outside the classroom door...I don't want to be in there any longer than I have to..."*
Padma: *is walking behind cho*
Parvati: *sigh* *mutters* I hate potions
Cho: *turns around* "Hey, Padma, what's up?"
Hermione: *Sees Parvati inside the classroom and waves*
Snape: *stops in the dungeons to get a book out of his storage room*
Padma: "Oh! hi cho! not much!"
Padma: "What about you?"
Cho: Potions...fun...I've got Study of Ancient Runes now
Snape: *walks swiftly to the classroom, seeing some students waiting in front of the door*
Padma: "lucky..i'll see you later cho!"
Cho: *sighs* See you later!
Parvati: *walks out* "Hey Cho!"
Snape: *walking past the students, glaring at them, he entered the classroom*
Parvati: "Hi hermione!"
Hermione: "Hey Parvati!" *Sees Snape walk scowling into the room* "I was hoping I'd find someone to talk to!"
Parvati: "yes same here!"
Parvati: "we'd better get inside..."
Hermione: *sighs* "Yeah...do you know what we're doing in class today?"
Snape: *sits behind his desk, looking at the clock, willing it to move so he could give the students who came late extra homework*
Parvati: "i have no idea..."
Hermione: *Sees Snape looking at clock* "Ugh...we
Hermione: "We'd better sit...he's probably just waiting for something to blame us for..."
Parvati: "yes..." *enters and takes a seat*
Hermione: *Sits next to Parvati and looks up at Snape...Harry and Ron are not back yet*
Snape: *looking at the students entering, he looks dissappointed and stands up*
Parvati: *looks at snape*
Hermione: *pulls out parchment and a quill*
Snape: "Silence! Open your books at page 163"
Parvati: *opens book* "grrreaaat...this will be a fun class..."
Parvati: *takes out parchment & scribbles a note asking about ron & harry, passes it 2 hermione*
Snape: "Today, we will be making a dogbreath potion" he smirks at the word "dog"
Parvati: *looks up, hoping snape didnt notice*
Parvati: *raises hand*
Hermione: *Reads: Where are Harry and Ron? Scribbles back: McGonagall needed them...I don't know for how long stops writing as Parvati's hand goes up*
Parvati: "Professor, I don't mean to sound rude but...when in life will we need a dog breath potion?"
Parvati: *reads note from the corner of her eye*
Hermione: *looks nervously between Parvati and Snape*
Snape: *glares at Parvati* "Miss Patil, don't you think you should leave the schedule of this class to ME?"
Parvati: "uhhh yes, my appologies"
Hermione: *coughs*
Snape: *suddenly sees 2 empty chairs*. "Miss Granger! Where, may I ask, are Mr Potter and Mr Weasley?"
Parvati: *chokes*
Hermione: *clears throat* "Professor McGonagall needed them, sir...she didn't say what for."
Parvati: *writes: wonder wot she needed them for...kind of odd dont you think?*
Hermione: *Looks smug at disappointing Snape*
Parvati: *tries not to laugh, snape seemed angry at the fact he wouldnt be yelling at anyone today*
Snape: *looks furious for a moment, then a sour smile spreads over his face* I'll ask Minerva later about that. "We'll see about that."
Parvati: *rolls eyes*
Hermione: "What does that mean? You don't BELIEVE me?"
Parvati: "ofcourse he doesnt believe you! he never believes anyone!" *blurts out*
Parvati: *smacks hand over her mouth*
Hermione: *looks wide eyed at Parvati, almost laughs*
Snape: "Miss Granger. If you're looking for some extra homework, that can be arranged, of course."
Hermione: **
Parvati: ::oh no! me and my big mouth!::
Hermione: *narrows eyes at Snape* mumbles: "I was only telling the truth, sir..."
Snape: *looks very angry* "Miss Patil!! You will be serving detention tonight at 8, come to this classroom."
Parvati: *looks extremely angry*
Snape: "If anyone else would like to join miss Patil, I suggest they speak now." he looks around
Hermione: *scowls and scribbles back to Parvati's note* "I'd rather be with them than with this stubborn maggot."
Parvati: *writes: deffinetly, I hope they come back soon!*
Hermione: *scowls and nods*
Snape: Seeing the Slytherins smirk, he lifted up his lips a bit. Nothing better to get in a good mood than teaching a potions class with Gryffindors. "Everyone, follow the instructions in your books. Begin."
Parvati: *begins to read the book*
Hermione: *Pulls cauldron onto the table*
Hermione: "What will we need?"
Parvati: "theres a list right here," *begins to read off the list*
Snape: *walks around the class*. He looks at Malfoy adding too many scarab beetles to his potion. He chose to ignore it and look what Longbottom was doing.
Hermione: *Gets ingredients from cupboard, scowls as Snape ignores Malfoy's mistakes*
Parvati: *almost cracks up knowing malfoy's potion will go up in smoke*
Hermione: *shakes head and smiles at Parvati, then pours listed ingredients into the potion*
Parvati: *looks over potion* "I think we've done it, we just need to let it sit for a while..."
Snape: *Seeing Longbottom blunder again,* "Mr Longbottom. Hopeless as always. Would you like to be paired up with Mr Goyle nex time?"
Hermione: "alright..." *Sees Snape bullying Neville*
Parvati: "poor Neville, its not his fault"
Parvati: *sighs*
Hermione: "Well I'll help him out once that oversized bat leaves him alone..."
Parvati: "Hermione, you'll never guess wot Padma told me.."
Snape: *sits behind his desk, correcting some homework*
Hermione: *looks up* "What?"
Parvati: "She said that she heard Cho talkng about Harry. She couldnt hear very much though."
Hermione: "About Harry?" *looks confused*
Parvati: "Yes, i'm not sure wot she was saying though"
Hermione: "I know he has a thing for her...he says he doesn't but it's so obvious...but why would she be talking about him?"
Parvati: "Im honestly not sure."
Parvati: "maybe SHE has a thing for him?" *giggles*
Hermione: *smiles slightly* "But what about the whole...Cedric thing...?"
Parvati: "I dunno, i mean its been a while since...you know..."
Hermione: "Yeah..."
Parvati: *looks down at the potion, seems troubled*
Hermione: "I don't imagine that would make Ginny too happy...you know, Ron's sister?"
Snape: *tries to concentrate but it doesn't work. his mind keeps floating off to places it shouldn't be*
Parvati: "Yes, she'd be sad, and i personaly couldnt picture Harry and Cho.."
Hermione: "Oh I don't know...she's really nice, you know...and Ginny can have Harry when Cho graduates!" *laughs*
Parvati: *laughs a bit*
Hermione: **potion begins to boil up, so Hermione puts out the flame** "Ah, the potion is finished."
Parvati: "Finaly" *raises hand* "Professor snaaaaaaaaaape! we've done it!"
Snape: *his head snaps up* "Miss Patil, may I ask why you're shouting about something that SHOULD be a natural thing?"
Hermione: *laughs at Parvati's "trying to be annoying" voice*
Hermione: *stops laughing immediately*
Parvati: "because um I AM PROUD THAT I COMPLETED THE CLASS WORK!"
Parvati: *smiles annoyingly*
Hermione: *stifles a laugh at Snape's look*
Parvati: "hehe..."
Snape: *smirks* "I can imagine. It must be a whole new experience for you." Parvati: "rrrrrrrg....naah, Potions is the only subject i have trouble in somtimes, wonder why? hmm i'd best get back to my other work!"
Snape: "Oh, did I mention that 10 points will be taken from Gryffindor for your cheek?"
Parvati: "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!"
Parvati: *sits down pouting*
Hermione: *laughs, then scowls as Snape takes points away*
Parvati: *doesnt speak*
Snape: *smirks, goes back to correcting homework*
Parvati: *reads a book*
Hermione: "Professor, can you just check to see if we've done it right so we can finish?"
Parvati: *cursing snape under her breath*
Snape: *looks up, warily. Smiles dangerously.* "But of course, Miss Granger." *walks to Hermione
Hermione: *looks wary* me and my mouth...
Snape: *seeing the potion, he tries to find mistakes. Suddenly he sees it's not the right color. Looking very cheerful, if you know Snape, he said "Miss Granger. I'm afraid this potion doesn't have the right color.
Hermione: *looks shocked* "What? But, but I'm SURE I've done everything right!"
Hermione: *Checks over list again*
Parvati: *sulks*
Parvati: "we put everything innnnnnnn"
Parvati: "how is it incorect?" *Looks at potion carefully*
Snape: "It should have a slight green shimmer. As you can see, it doesn't."
Hermione: "Well...if you look at it from a certain angle..."
Parvati: *mouth is wide open*
Snape: "But don't worry. As I know you're a faithful student, you can try again with Potter and Weasley tonight." he smirks
Parvati: "but its green..."
Hermione: "What?! Are you...you're punishing me!?"
Parvati: "with the shimmer! oh dear this is not fair!"
Parvati: *sulking*
Snape: *pretends to look shocked* "Punishing? You consider it a punishment to be able to improve your studies?"
Parvati: *rolls eyes*
Snape: "oh, and miss Patil. Would you like to try again as well?"
Hermione: *gets angry* "It's perfect! Everything is perfect. You're just being picky."
Parvati: "meh..."
Hermione: *bell rings*
Parvati: *gets up franticaly*
Snape: "20 more points will be taken from Gryffindor. I'll see you tonight at 8, miss Granger."
Parvati: *looks of disgust*
Hermione: *narrows eyes and turns red...grabs bag and leaves without another word*
Snape: "And don't forget your detention, miss Patil. I will be talking this through with Professor McGonagall later."
Parvati: *parvati and hermione walk out the door*
Hermione: "No slight green shimmer...I'll show HIM shimmer..."
Parvati: *laughs*
Parvati: "shimmer is evil."
Parvati: *serious face*
Hermione: "Well, I'm going to the Common Room before dinner to see if Harry and Ron are back, I'll see you later, though!"
Parvati: "Ok bye!"
Parvati: *leaves*
Hermione: "In our cozy little detentions. Ugh. Bye!

*Hears Harry and Ron laughing in the common room*

Now honestly, they're going to wake everyone up! If I'm grumpy during class tomorrow it's their fault.

*Tries to go to sleep, but can't help thinking...(don't you hate that?)*

Why do people keep calling me Ron's girlfriend? He doesn't even like me...I don't even like him!...he can't take things seriously...no, of course I don't like him...that's absurd. SO stupid...

*turns over again*

Wednesday, October 16, 2002 // 10:32 p.m.
Ron leaned back in his bunk, staring at the ceiling, his hands behind his head. Hm.... 5 reasons.... shouldn't be too hard. He started his list.

1. She's a know-it-all.
2. She ruins their fun a lot by worrying.
3.... 3....

Ron was stuck already. He scrunched up his nose and thought hard. Any other reasons he could think of fell into those categories (being a Know-It-All or worrying too much). He thought one that should have been obvious. She's not pretty or anything... but then he stopped and re-thought that. Now that it came up... Hermione definitely wasn't unattractive... Ron's mind wandered back to last year at the Yule ball, when she wore that blue dress and did... whatever she did to her hair. Okay, so she was pretty, but Ron decided he'd never noticed it because he considered Hermione a friend and that was it. But he'd need to think up a few more reasons before morning or Harry'd be after him. Ron sighed, scratching his head again and rolled over, thinking, and eventually wearing his brain out to the point where he had to fall asleep.

Tuesday, October 15, 2002 // 09:33 p.m.
Yay! Megz and I had a big long RPG. It's funny. I'm sure you'll enjoy reading it XD

Ron: *watches Hermione go up the stairs and sighs, scratching his head and looking back at Harry*
Harry: "well...?"
Ron: *raises an eyebrow uncertainly* "Well, what?"
Harry: *stares at ron* "Why do you always defend her?"
Harry: "You know you're just going to get yourself into trouble"
Ron: *stares back* "She's our friend, Harry. Besides, she'd do the same for us."
Harry: "Yeah, but you go overboard with her"
Ron: *cocks his head and looks down* "Well before recently she wouldn't ever defend herself. I'm not used to it. And any chance to rip Malfoy should be taken, right?"
Harry: *looks at Ron uncertainly* "I guess"
Ron: *sighs and looks up, smiling slightly* "I don't know, Harry,"
Harry: "What don't you know? And I agree with you now."
Ron: Ron looks around, then back up towards the girls staircase. "I don't know why I over react. But I always have. Maybe it's just me?"
Harry: "Maybe so? I mean.. I've always defended my parents.. haven't I?"
Ron: *nods and chuckles slightly* "Right. So I just get red in the face over little things. No big deal."
Harry: *looks at Ron* "Do you like Hermione?"
Ron: *blinks and stares at him* "Of course. Even if she's a Know-It-All, she's our friend."
Harry: "No.. you know what I mean"
Harry: "More than a friend.. you know? Never mind.. I feel weird talking about this. And you never bothered me about Cho"
Ron: *continues to stare, the thought of liking Hermione never actually occuring to him* "Me? Like Hermione like THAT??" *laughs uncomfortably, his ears bright red* "You've got to be kidding, Harry, she's our friend"
Harry: *bursts out in laughter*
Ron: *stares* "Harry! What's so funny?!" he demands
Harry: "She's my friend.. I don't know about you"
Ron: *blinks disbeleivingly* "Harry..." *rolls his eyes and huffs loudly* "You're off your rocker."
Harry: *chuckles*
Harry: "No I'm not.. you are!"
Ron: *can't help but grin slightly* "no, Mr. Potter, I really believe you're the one who's crazy."
Harry: "You're crazy.. for Hermione.. and I've only just noticed it"
Harry: *laughs some more*
Ron: *begins to laugh harder and shoves Harry* "Are not! You twit, you're just dull!"
Harry: *shoves Ron back* "You are.. you just don't notice it yet, I'm not dull! And be quiet or she'll hear you!"
Ron: *laughs but tries to cover it up* "You are too dull. You're just too dull to realize how dull you really are!" *turns and begins jogging toward the stairs*
Harry: "You're trying to hide it!" *follows after him*
Ron: *shakes his head* "Cheeky. Am not. I've got nothing to hide."
Harry: "You're not very good at acting!"
Ron: *rolls his eyes* "I wouldn't talk, Mister 'I-love-Cho-CHang-It's-So-Obvious-because-I-DROOL-Every-Time-I-See-Her' "
Harry: "Ron.. tell me the truth.. at least I don't deny it.. plus.. I really don't care whether you guys become an item.. as long as I'm not the extra one on the side"
Harry: "I already know.. I just need you to clarify it"
Ron: *shakes his head again as they reach the door to the dorm* "Listen, Harry, I think I'd know if I liked her like that, and you'd be the first to know. But I DON'T. So there."
Harry: "Well, that's nice to know. But you do"
Ron: *laughs and leans against the wall, not going into the dorm yet because they'd wake up the other boys* "Harry, Harry, Harry. You can go on thinking that, but it's not the truth."
Harry: "Fine. I'm going to bed. You contemplate whether you like her or not"
Harry: "In the morning.. you better have 5 good reasons that you don't like her. Five. Do you hear me?"
Ron: *rolls his eyes and opens the door for him* "Yeah, whatever, will be a piece of cake."
Harry: "Okay. Goodnight Ronald"
Harry: *walks throught the door*
Ron: *sighs and smirks* "G'night, Harry Potter." *walks over to his bunk and sits down, rubbing his face*

(((OOC: OK, the only other Ravenclaw doesn't have a SN, so this is my own RP with myself! We'll call my friend...Charlotte :) Bare with me, it's short.)))

*Is sitting in a chair in the Ravenclaw common room when her friend comes up to her*

Charlotte: Hey Cho! You look kinda down...what's up?
Cho: What? Oh, nothing...just thinking.
Charlotte: About...? Harry? *wink*
Cho: *looks up sharply* What makes you say THAT? (Charlotte gives her the 'it's obvious look'*
Charlotte: Well, he IS the only person you've been talking about...this whole week...
Cho: *sighs* Yeah...It's just so...weird.
Charlotte: I suppose...
Cho: *sighs again* Well, I'm off to bed...maybe I can get Padma to talk to her sister...she's friends with him, you know...
Charlotte: *laughs* Alright Cho, you do that.

*walks up to bed and falls into an uneasy sleep.*

"Oh, you didn't miss much. Some Malfoy trouble, that's about it..."

*Looks at clock*

"Wow, it's getting late, and we've got Charms first thing tomorrow...I'm off to bed, see you in the morning!"

*Walks up to dormitory, gets ready for bed, and lays down...smiling at the thought of how Ron took detention with Malfoy just to stick up for her...*

(( yay! er..here's an rp between Remus, Severus, Ron, Hermione and Draco. It's reeaallly long XD ... its the rp about Ron and Dracos detention. So read on..
~Jeni))

Draco: Draco walked down the dimly lit corrdior, hands shoved in his robe pockets, taking his time. Still not believing he had actually gotten a detention, not wanting to think how mad his father would be. Grumbling to himself, he reached the potions classroom
Severus: Snape sat behind his desk, scowling and looking at the clock. One minute to go until detention for Weasley and Draco.
Ron: Ron scratched his head and yawned. Walking down the dungeon corridor thinking, he didn't even remember where he was going until his feet stopped in front of potions door. He sighed and grimaced inwardly then stepped inside.
Severus: When Snape saw Ron enter, he scowled "Weasley. Forgot to knock, now did you?"
Draco: scowling Draco stepped inside the room behind him
Ron: Ron wanted to snap back, but seeing as how he already had detention on the 1st day of term, he decided it wasn't worth the risk. "Sorry, Professor, i didn't know you were here"
Severus: Snape got up. "Good evening Draco. Weasley, considering this is my classroom that is a poor excuse."
Ron: Ron just nodded silently. "Sorry, sir. It won't happen again."
Severus: Scowling at the lack of response from Weasley, he said "You two will be cleaning out the closets in the storage room tonight. Without magic, of course."
Draco: biting back a sigh, he nodded. "yes sir"
Ron: Ron just nods without a word.
Severus: Snape walked towards the closets and pointed at them. "There they are. Must keep you busy for a while. I must warn you... If you break anything, you'll live to regret it."
Hermione: *Meanwhile, Hermione is finishing dinner alone in the Great Hall since Harry was gone at Quidditch practice*
Remus: *and Remus is sitting in his rooms, feeling extremely tired. Knowing he should go and get his potion from Snape.*
Ron: Ron steps forward and figures he might as well get to work. He can't believe muggles handle all this without magic.
Severus: Snape smiles an evil smile, leaves the boys to the work and goes back to sit behind his desk to correct homework.
Draco: Grumbling to himself, he walks to the storage room, Coughing as bits of dust fly up, he opens the door to the nearest closet.
Hermione: *Hermione finishes dinner and decides to walk around the halls, since all her schoolwork is finished for the night*
Draco: Sighing Draco rearranges the jars in alphabetical order, as that's all that was in this closet.
Ron: Ron started dusting the endless bottles of strange ingredients, glancing over at Draco and glaring every once in awhile. It was, after all, the Slytherin's fault he was in this mess. Insulting Hermione all the time...
Draco: still rearranging the bottles, Draco glared back at Ron, aggravated. "got a problem Weasel?"
Ron: "Just you, Ferret, just you..." Ron muddered quite audibly back and continued his work.
Severus: Snape suddenly thinks of the Wolfsbane potion Lupin would come to collect later. Good he'd made it this afternoon.
Draco: Draco just grinned maliciously at him, ignoring the comment and raising an eyebrow "good to know"
Ron: Ron rolls his eyes slightly.
Remus: Sighing, Remus left his room. Taking a short cut behind a tapestry of Rowena in the charms corridor, he arrived down in the dungeons. Hoping the potion was ready, but not looking forward to it's bitter taste. Knocking slightly on the door, waiting patiently
Severus: Snape's head shot up. "Problems, Weasley?"
Severus: Sighing, Snape got up and walked to the door.
Ron: Ron shook his head. "No, Professor." He quickly looked like he was intent on his work.
Draco: Draco laughed to himself, still rearranging bottles, he shook his head "Just can't stay out of trouble, can you?"
Hermione: *Hermione walks through the entrance hall and thinks of visiting Hagrid or going to see Harry practice..."I wonder when Ron's detention will be done..."*
Ron: "I wouldn't talk, Malfoy. At least I have you to blame for detention. You got *yourself* into this.," he snapped back, too quiet for Snape to hear.
Severus: Snape opens the door. When he sees Remus, he motions him to enter the room.
Draco: Draco shrugged "It's not my fault. I was talking to the mudblood, not you. Your the one who had to open your big mouth to try and defend your girlfriend.."
Remus: Stepping in, he glanes about the room, his sharpened sense hearing slight whispers and clanking of jars "who has detention?"
Severus: "Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley are cleaning out my closets." he said. "I have the Wolfsbane potion here, follow me."
Ron: Ron's face turned a darker shade of red almost instantly, partially because of fury, partially because of embarrassment.
Ron: "The only reason you bad mouth Hermione is because you know she's a much better wizard than you'll ever be!"
Draco: Draco smirked at Ron, watching him calmly "is that so?"
Remus: nodding Remus looked to the storage room again, then turned following Snape "thanks for making it"
Severus: Snape grunted. He grabbed a vial. "Please follow me to my chambers, I want to see how you react to the potion, as it has some different ingredients."
Ron: Ron narrowed his eyes. "Well, she does do better at all her classes than you, doesn't she?
Ron: What if your father found that out? That a muggle-born is a better wizard than you? Frightening thought, isn't it." he replied smugly.
Hermione: *Hermione walks to Hagrid's hut in the setting sun and sees him carrying crates to the back of his cabin, and she changes her mind...and walks back to the castle.*
Remus: raising an eyebrow he looks at snape carefully and follows Snape "oh? what are they supposed to do?"
Severus: Closing the door behind him, Snape hands the vial to Lupin. "They're supposed to strengthen the potion and make the transformation... smoother. And I added some ingredients to perhaps... enhance the taste somewhat."
Severus: He looked almost embarrassed at admitting this.
Draco: Draco tried not to shudder at that, remembering this summer, and silently agreeing with him "Not all classes, and not by much, and thats only because shes a bookworm.."
Ron: A satisfied smirk spread across Ron's lips. "The actual magic doesn't involve knowledge, Malfoy. That's skill."
Remus: Looking at the vial he nods, hoping it works. "and you told me before you couldn't add anything to it!" un- stoppering the vial he downs it in one gulp, Shaking his head a bit as it trails down his throat, although it does taste less bitter
Severus: "It's a recent development. Normally it would cancel out the other ingredients." That's what you get for doing something NICE, he thought scowling.
Draco: "at least someone in Gryffindor has some.." he looked pointedly at Ron. Standing up, he brushes the creases and dust off his robes leaving the closet.
Remus: "oh.." he trailed off, setting the vial on Snapes desk "well. thank you for making it.." he looked around Snapes office at the jars full of potions and creatures
Ron: Ron's smirk faded slightly, but inwardly he almost laughed. For some reason, knowing that he got Draco to admit that Hermione has skill made him want dance.
Severus: "Er. Yes. So. Did it work?" Snape felt suddenly uncomfortable.
Remus: He nodded, his eyes stopped wandering and looked at Snape "yes. and it tastes alot better too. "
Draco: walking into the main classroom, Draco looks around for Snape, not seeing him anywhere he called out "Professor?"
Severus: Snape looked to a point far away. "Good." hearing Draco call from the classroom, he said "Oh. Yes. Detention must be about finished now." he got up and went back to the classroom.
Remus: shaking his head, he followed snape out of the office and headed toward the door
Draco: watching professor Snape and Lupin leave the office, Draco raised an eyebrow curiously "professor, we've finished.."
Severus: Snape looked distracted. "Yes. Good. You may leave."
Ron: Ron stood and shook the dust out of his hair, then turned and walked back into the classroom, relieved to see Lupin. With Lupin around, Snape couldn't do anything too unfair.
Remus: Remus looked at Draco, then to Ron , grinning as he saw a bit of dirt on his nose "have a good detention?"
Hermione: *Hermione was walking through the halls, hardly realizing where her feet were taking her, when she realized she was about a corridor away from the dungeons.*
Ron: Ron smiled slightly and nodded, not willingly too say anything too rash, since Snape was still in the room.
Hermione: *thinks* "Maybe Ron's detention is almost over?"
Severus: Snape snapped back to attention, and looked at Draco and Weasley. "Was the detention not long enough? Don't you have homework to do?"
Draco: Smirking Draco nodded "actually yes. goodnight Professor Snape, Lupin.." heading towards the door he pushed it open and headed into the hall
Hermione: *Hermione hears Snape's voice trail across the deserted corridor from the dungeons, he sounds a bit angry, so the detention must be finished...*
Ron: Ron narrowed his eyes and nodded again. "Right, See you, Professors." He said, giving Lupin a smile and quickly heading out the door.
Draco: stuffing his hands in his robe pockets, Draco walked lazily down the corridor, not really in a hurry
Hermione: *hears footsteps...flattens hair in case it's Ron...*
Severus: Seeing the door close, Snape turns to Lupin
Ron: Ron followed Draco, trying to keep a bit of a distance, but Draco's going to slow, Ron eventually ends up walking beside him.
Draco: Draco glanced sidways, glaring at Ron "What do you want now Weasel? What's the matter couldn't stay away?"
Ron: Ron rolled his eyes. "You're just slow is all, Malfoy."
Draco: Smirking at him, Draco turned the corner. His smirk widening as he saw Hermione there "well well, if it isn't your girlfriend" making sure he was loud enough for her to hear
Hermione: *eyes widen to see MALFOY there...then she turns red* "Erm...hello, Malfoy..."
Remus: "err..right then. well i suppose i should be going.." he trailed off
Severus: Snape looked at Lupin. "Oh. Yes. I suppose you have... work to do."
Ron: Ron's eyes widened slightly as well, surprised to see Hermione. He recovered quickly. "Oh shove off, Malfoy." Ron moved forward to Hermione, not wanting to deal with Malfoy anymore.
Remus: he coughed and nodded "yes. plus I need to talk to someone. well it's been great..er see you tommorow then. and thanks again for making the potion.." nodding he turns the handle on the door
Severus: "Yes. Bye." Snape turns quickly.
Remus: leaving the room, he takes his short cut back to the charms corridor
Draco: Laughing as he saw Granger blush he smirked, deciding not to reply to Ron's comment
Hermione: "Well...do you need something, Malfoy? I thought the Slytherin common room was by the dungeons, do you need directions?"
Ron: Ron smirked, but was ready to pull Hermione away, not wanting her to say anything she might regret. Inwardly laughin he thought, that was his job.
Draco: He shook his head "no, I know my way very well thankyou. But if you can remember we are in the dungeons, so shouldn't you little Gryffindorks be heading up to you commonroom?"
Hermione: *narrows eyes* "Well then, we'd better go." *turns to leave*
Ron: Ron nodded nad turned his back away from Draco and begins to walk beside Hermione down the hall
Draco: smirking he turns on his heel, walking in the opposite direction.
Hermione: *walks away with Ron*

(( and that's all folkes ))

Julie and I had an RPG. Sorry I had to go.. heh, maybe this will get people into the vibe. (Don't ask)

Hermione: *Bell rings to signal the end of lessons, and the end of Transfiguration for the Gryffindors*
Harry: "Well, that sucks for Ron then.. damn Draco"
Hermione: "He shouldn't have defended me like that...what good came of it? He's got detention and Malfoy's got one more thing to gloat about..."
Harry: "I don't know why he bothers... you can do it yourself.. can't you?"
Hermione: "Well, I AM a prefect, mind you...I can't go cursing everyone in sight, even if I DO know a few good ones..." *grins*
Harry: "I'm sure you do" *chuckles* "You spend all that extra time reading"
Hermione: *Harry and Hermione walk into the Great Hall for dinner and to wait for Ron* "I'm sure those books will come in handy some day...do you know how long Ron will take?" *looks around anxiously*
Harry: "Based on past detentions... half an hour?"
Hermione: *sighs* "I suppose we'll just meet him in the Common Room then. I sure wish McGonigall liked US as much as Snape likes the Slytherins..."
Harry: "Well, at least she kept Draco in too. Anyway.. what was Ron's problem the other day?"
Hermione: *looks confused* "When?"
Harry: "Member.. with Sirius? He was acting all defeated when you guys fought?"
Hermione: "Ohh, yeah...I honestly don't know...he's always tried to get in the last word when we argue...perhaps he's growing up?" *laughs*
Harry: "Perhaps you're not?"
Hermione: *raises an eyebrow* "What does THAT mean?"
Harry: "You do the exact same Hermione"
Hermione: *sighs* "Yes, I suppose you're right..." *laughs* "Well I can't grow up TOO fast, afterall..."
Harry: *sighs* "How come you didn't get all pissed at me?"
Hermione: "I didn't? I'll have to keep that in mind for next time.." *smiles* "I'm joking...I don't know, I suppose I was just in a weird mood, or something?"
Harry: *raises eybrows* "OK then.. is something going on between you two while I'm not around? You guys seemed to have decided not to fight or get mad..."
Hermione: *snaps back* "What are you talking about?"
Harry: "Ok, never mind"
Hermione: *cheeks get reddish* "Sorry...I guess I'm just..." *shrugs and trails off* "Could you pass the rolls, please?"
Harry: "Sure.. whatever"
Hermione: "so...what do you reckon McGonigall had them do for detention?"
Harry: "Not much.. but I don't know"
Hermione: *shrugs*
Hermione: *awkward pause...* "So...what made you ask about Ron?"
Harry: "I don't know.. he's our friend isn't he? Why did you just ask about Ron now eh?"
Hermione: *shrugs* "I dunno...so how about that Fleur girl from last year? Didn't she say she was coming here?" *looks a bit put out*
Harry: "Oh"*chuckles* "I haven't heard from her.. but RON prpbably has.." *grins*
Hermione: *frowns* "He only likes her because she's pretty..."
Harry: "And you only like Krum because he was rich"
Hermione: *looks surprised* "Harry! Viktor liked ME...and he was a very interesting person, I don't even know if he's rich or not..."
Harry: "Of course he's rich! He's a frickin seeker for Bulgaria!"
Hermione: "Well...that's beside the point...HE approached ME...it's completely different." *gets very red*
Harry: "Then don't get all mad at Fleur"
Hermione: *looks a bit angry, then shrugs*
Hermione: "Sorry Hermione. Why do you care anyway?"
Harry: *Fred comes over and taps Harry on the soldier* "Hermione.. I have a quidditch practice"
Hermione: *sighs* "Alright...I'll meet you in the common room later then"
Harry: "Okay.. sorry.."

//Snape (Martine)

Monday, October 7, 2002 // 07:37 a.m.
OOC: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Snape and Sirius had a great RP on AIM yesterday. Here's the transcript:

Harry: *harry, ron and hermione walk into the common room*
Hermione: "Hey, we haven't been to see Hagrid yet. Do you want to visit him today?"
Ron: *scratches his head and nods* I don't see why not
Harry: "no lets see sirius
Harry: "we'll see hagrid tomorrow in ComC"
Hermione: "Alright...how are we going to get there without running into..Snape, or something?"
Harry: "Ack, you're paranoid"
Harry: "Let's go now.. it's just near here"
Hermione: "Well I can't exactly afford to get Gryffindor in more trouble, can I. Alright, let's go."
Ron: *smirks* Hermione, stop worrying. we're allowed to walk around the corridors during the day
Harry: *nods*
Hermione: *laughs* "alright already!"
Harry: *Get out into the hall* "follow me guys..."
Hermione: "Is he staying with Figg? Or in his own place?"
Snape: *walks around the corridors, when he hears people approaching*
Harry: "his own place"
Ron: *stuffs his hands in his robe pockets and walks beside Harry*
Harry: *stops in his tracks* "Crap.. Hermione.. you always have to be right"
Hermione: *whispers* "I told you!" *looks innocently downwards...*
Ron: *narrows his eyes and looks up*
Snape: *looks down the corridor, sees those little Gryffindor brats*
Snape: *groans*. "Oh no."
Harry: *walks a bit faster*
Hermione: *Tries to avoid Snape, yet knows he'll think up something foul to do...*
Snape: *walks toward the kids, stopping them in their tracks*
Harry: *looks down, puts hands in robe pockets*
Ron: *looks up, chewing on his lip nervously* "Hello, Professor..."
Snape: "Well, well. What are a couple of young Gryffindors like you are doing inside on a day like this?"
Harry: "We weren't doing anything wrong"
Hermione: "We're walking, Professor. Not against the law, is it?"
Ron: *shoots Hermione a wary glance, then turns back to Snape*
Snape: *scowls, thinking of something to hold against hem* "Miss Granger. I suggest you keep your cheek for yourself, and try not to provoke me everytime you run into me."
Hermione: "I'm not trying to provoke you, Professor." *Innocently :)* "You asked what we were doing, and I told you."
Harry: *looks up at snape with an evil eye trying not to say anything and hoping ron wont say anything*
Ron: *bites his lip to restrain himself, eyeing the Professor cautiously*
Snape: *glares at Hermione, asks with a sweet voice*. "So, if I may ask, where are you heading?"
Harry: "Uh..."
Hermione: *bites lip* "We were...we were going to see...*says first name in head* Hagrid."
Ron: *nods quickly* "Yeah!"
Snape: *raises his eyebrows* "Hagrid? Are you sure you're not going the wrong way then? Last time I checked Hagrid's cabin was not near Gryffindor tower."
Harry: "Last time I checked.." *bites tongue to keep from saying anything else*
Ron: "We just came from there. Can we go now?" *slight anger in his voice*
Snape: "... yes, Mr. Potter?"
Harry: "Nothing Professor. Can we go?"
Hermione: "We were...er, we took the long way, because my foot fell asleep...I wanted to walk around..." *kicks Ron*
Snape: *face lighting up*. "Of course. I will accompany you, as I wanted to ask Hagrid something as well".
Harry: *looks at hermione because of the lame response*
Harry: "we'll ask him for you, save you the trouble"
Ron: *winces slightly and his ears redden slightly*
Hermione: "Erm...you know I need to ask Hagrid about our Care of Magical Creatures homework, I'll just nip up to the dormitory to get my work...would you like to come, Harry? Ron?"
Harry: "Yes I would, in fact"
Snape: *scowls*. "How very inconvenient, to forget your homework, miss Granger."
Ron: *eyes widen a bit, he glances from Hermione and Harry, back to Snape then turns to follow them, nodding, and stumbling over his feet a bit*
Hermione: *face reddens* "Well then, I'll just go get it." *grabs Harry and Ron's robes as she half runs back to Gryffindor tower*
Harry: *stumbles after hermione*
Snape: *turns around* "on their way to Black, no doubt." *grumbles*.
Harry: "What's your problem Ron? You were all quiet and shy"
Hermione: "I cannot believe him. Harry, we might need that map of your's a bit more this year...even thought I hate the idea of using it..."
Ron: *glares at Hermione* Could you have come up with any more lame excuses, Hermione
Hermione: *Glares back at Ron* "I didn't see YOU coming up with anything but stutters."
Harry: *looks from ron to hermione, then shakes head* "Don't fight.. please... that's all we need"
Ron: "because i didn't want to say anything stupid! If you had just stuck to the Hagrid alibi, we could have gone on our way..." *quiets slightly at Harry's words and shakes his head*
Hermione: *ignores harry* "With Snape? That would have been a cheerful walk."
Ron: "Well, you made it completely obvious tht that wasn't what we had planned to do. Besides! What can Snape do to us! He knows about Si... Snuffles, and it's not like we aren't allowed to see him."
Hermione: "He would have asked questions, Ron! Just drop it. If my excuses weren't GOOD enough for you, why don't you pipe up next time!" *looks both angry and slightly hurt*
Harry: "Hermione.. you need to drop it too.. you both do"
Hermione: *folds arms and looks away stubbornly* "Well, are we going or not?"
Ron: *sighs and doesn't reply*
Hermione: "Well I don't fancy going to Hagrid's if Snape is there...and if he is, then he isn't IN the castle, so I suppose we can go see SNuffles now."
Harry: "Good.. let's go.. and go fast"
Hermione: *Walk out of portrait hole again to find the fat lady quite irritated*
Ron: *follows quietly*
Harry: *doo dee doo dee doo* *knocks on sirius' door*
Harry: *whispers* "Ron.. what is up? you're so quiet!"
Hermione: "He knows I'm right and he's wrong." *smiles*
Sirius: walks to the door. Whispers: "Hello?"
Harry: "It's us!"
Harry: *glares at hermione* "Give it up..."
Hermione: *smiles* "I'm only joking, sheesh!"
Sirius: *smiling broadly, opening the door* "come in!"
Harry: *sighs and walks in* "Hello!"
Ron: *forces a smile when Sirius opens the door, and follows Harry*
Hermione: "Hello Sirius, nice to see you again!"
Sirius: *closes the door* "Good to see you all." *points at the chairs* "Take a seat!"
Harry: *looks at ron in a disaproving way then sits down*
Sirius: *looks at the kids* "Something wrong?"
Harry: "They're's something... Never mind"
Hermione: *smiles* "It's nothing...how are you?"
Sirius: *looks puzzled* "I'm fine... How are you?"
Ron: *decides not to say anything, since obviously, whatever he'd say would upset Hermione even more.*
Harry: "I'm good.."
Sirius: *looks at Ron* "Something any of you want to talk about?"
Ron: "No, we're fine"
Harry: *Looks at Ron then shakes head*
Sirius: "Good. Do you want to drink something?"
Harry: "No, I'm fine.. what are you up to? We just got caught by Snape out there"
Hermione: "He's so antagonistic! Why does he have to be so...evil?!"
Harry: "Because he's Snape?"
Sirius: *smiles at Hermione* "It's in his character, I'm afraid. Though his childhood didn't help, I guess..."
Sirius: "Sure you don't want a drink?"
Hermione: "Nor, I suppose, did trying to kill him" *smiles* "no thanks, I'm fine."
Harry: "I don't.. looks at Ron.. who usually would jump at the offer"
Ron: *finally smiles at hermione's words and shrugs* I'll have something I guess
Harry: *sighs and looks ahead*
Sirius: *grins* "Yes, Hermione, that might have something to do with it. What do you want to drink, Ron?"
Sirius: *smiling*, "I have butterbeer, you know..."
Harry: "Oo, well I'll have a butterbeer"
Hermione: "And me, please..."*smiles*
Ron: *lips split into a grin* Yeah, butterbeer sound great!
Sirius: *looks relieved to see them smile, stands up, and gets 4 butterbeers from a box* "There you go."
Harry: *grins and beams* "Thanks!"
Hermione: "Thank you. So what have you been up to around here?"
Ron: *snatches his gleefully and takes a large sip*
Ron: "Thanks!"
Sirius: *sits back, taking a sip from his beer*. "Well. I've been talking to some old friends... Remus... Albus... Arabella..."
Harry: *nods* "we still haven't had DaDa"
Ron: "What's Professor Figg like?"
Sirius: *smiles at Ron* "She's nice. I think you'll like her. And she's real, so no Moody business this year."
Harry: "She better be real.. How's Lupin?"
Hermione: "Yeah, well if Crouch fooled DUMBLEDORE..." *trails off, not wanting to think about last year*
Harry: "Is that bad grammar Hermione?"
Harry: "wait a sec.. fooled..."
Harry: "Is fooled a word?... is that bad grammar?"
Sirius: "Yes. I'm sure she's real. Remus is good, he'll go on a mission for Dumbledore later this year."
Ron: *laughs* "No, Harry, fooled is a word."
Ron: *gets excited* "Oh! What kind of mission??"
Harry: *looks up puzzled*
Harry: *nods at ron's comment
Hermione: *looks interested*
Sirius: "I can't tell you that... It's just some errand for Dumbledore."
Hermione: "Go on, Sirius, what's this mission about? And do you know what Hagrid and Madame Maxime were sent to do?"
Sirius: *looks distracted* "I'm sorry Hermione, but these are important matters, I can't talk about it."
Harry: "Come on.. yes you can"
Ron: *nods enthusiastically* Pleas, Sirius! Maybe we can help!
Sirius: "Harry. I can't. And no, Ron, you keep out of it! I know you've all got the idea adults can't solve their own matters, but you're wrong."
Harry: *looks defeated*
Sirius: "If this information falls into the wrong hands, bad things could happen. Worse than last time, or the time before that."
Hermione: *sighs* "Alright. We've found these things out on our own before, after all..." *smiles*
Ron: *sighs* "But we've done it before. Without us, who knows what would have happened in the last 4 years."
Ron: *smiles at Hermione*
Harry: "Yeah! Ron's right.. Hogwarts wouldnt be around!"
Sirius: *glares at Hermione* "I'm sorry I have to do this, considering er... my own past, but you have to promise me you won't. meddle. this. year."
Harry: "If we have to.. we have to"
Sirius: *looks old and tired*
Hermione: "I'm not promising anything, but I suppose we can TRY to stay out of trouble..."
Harry: "Not trying to make you worried"
Ron: *frowns slightly* "But, Sirius, half the time it's not even our fault. Things just happen..."
Harry: "...they do"
Sirius: "Harry. Please." *looks at Hermione and ron* "You do know Harry almost died last year, right?"
Hermione: *looks uneasy* "That wasn't because of...meddling..." *trails off*
Ron: *looks at the floor*
Harry: "They had nothign to do with that"
Sirius: "No. But you have to realise Voldemort is stronger now. He's got his body back. It's not a game. Hermione, you know what happened... 15 years ago, right?"
Ron: *raises an eyebrow*
Harry: *narrows eyes*
Hermione: *looks even more uneasy* "Sirius, we just wanted to know WHERE Dumbledore had sent those people...I'm sorry..." *goes red*
Sirius: "It was an awful time... People disappeared... People were murdered... I don't want to frighten you, kids, but it's very probable bad times will come. It's a war."
Harry: "FIne... we'll stop bugging you"
Sirius: *looks guilty*. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Ron: *sighs* "We just wanted to help..."
Harry: "That's okay.. now we'll just wonder day and night
Hermione: "And don't call us kids...we're old enough to know what's going on, you know..."
Harry: *nods*
Sirius: *sighs*. "Harry. Don't be angry. Please."
Sirius: "And you ARE kids, you know. It's the fault of the adults you haven't had much of a happy, normal childhood until now."
Harry: "I'm not angry"
Hermione: *looks down, defeated.*
Sirius: *stares at the floor* "I'm so sorry."
Hermione: "Can we change the subject?"
Sirius: *smiles* "yes, please. How are your lessons?"
Hermione: "We haven't had potions yet...I'm dreading that one..."
Sirius: *gets up to get rid of the empty butterbeer bottles*"
Sirius: *sit down again, notices the strange tension between Ron and Hermione*
Sirius: *notices the strange silence* "You know, if you want to say something, you can. Nothing will ever leave this room as far as I'm concerned."
Harry: " Ok, fine.. Ron.. why were you all defeated when you and Hemrione got in a fight? That never happens"
Hermione: *looks up at harry then ron*
Ron: *stares at Harry for a moment, then pretends to nonchalantly look at something else* "What are you talking about?"
Sirius: *leans back in his chair, thinking: I may be very wrong if they don't like each other very much indeed*
Ron: "Nothing's 'up'. I'm tired is all," it's obvious he's trying to to change the subject.
Hermione: *turns red and looks down, smiling*
Harry: *chuckles*
Sirius: *restrains self to say something, smiling*
Harry: "you guys are terrible"
Hermione: "What do you mean?"
Sirius: "Have any of you ever read any Shakespeare?"
Harry: "C'mon.. you know what I mean!"
Hermione: "Of course I've read Shakespeare...before I knew I was a witch I thought it was the most brilliant literature ever!" *hesitates* "...why?"
Sirius: *smiles* "Ever read "Much ado about nothing"?"
Hermione: "I have..."
Sirius: *grins broadly* "You know... you remind me of some of the main characters sometimes." *stares in the distance, thinking of another couple that used to be like this.*
Ron: *looks confused* Shakespeare? Some muggle books?
Hermione: *Smiles* "I don't know if you want to explain that to Ron..."
Sirius: *grins* "Yes... muggle books. Very famous. You should read them, you know."
Ron: *glances from Sirius to Hermione, confused* "Why, what characters? What are you guys talking about?"
Hermione: *smiles* "I'd love to explain, but we've got Transfiguration in 5 minutes...we really should get going, Sirius"
Sirius: "I'll explain to you some other time, Ron. It was great talking to you all. I'm sorry about the thing about the mission..." *hesitates* "I'll explain soon."
Ron: "rolls his eyes, smirking a bit* Okay, let's go then. Bye Sirius!
Hermione: *sighs and stands up* "Well, it was nice talking to you again. Bye!"
Harry: "See you later, Sirius!"
Sirius: "Bye!" he opens the door, smiling
Hermione: *The three run off to McGonagall's class*

Ron yawned and shrugged. "Fred and George wanted to test some of their new products on me... They've got a few bugs to work out still. Took awhile for my nose to shrink," he said with a bit of a laugh. His ears tinged red just slightly from embarrassment, but other than that, he was used to unexpected things coming from his brothers. He smirked at Hermione. "But as for classes, I assume we have the usual."

Yay! Another RP! (( Posted by Julie ^_^ ))

Hermione: *Sees Harry coming down the stairs from the North Tower* "Hey Harry, how was Divination? Where's Ron?"
Harry: "Sure it was ok.. he's in the washroom, he'll be back soon. how was arithmancy?"
Hermione: "Very good, and Professor Vector didn't give us any homework!" *They walk into the Great Hall* *lowers voice* "Did you get a chance to talk to Snuffles?"
Harry: "Joy of all joys" *grins* "yes i did, he's staying in the room next to us. He gave me some stuff from when i was a baby, clothes.. pictures.. pretty cool. He's posing as Figg's dog"
Hermione: "Hmm...I hope he can stay out of trouble...that's just one more thing to make us all worry..."
Harry: "oh I hope so too, but I'm sure he will.. he's thinking the same about us"
Hermione: *Looks uneasy* "Yeah...I talked to him earlier, but was cut off by Snape..." *scowl*
Harry: "I heard, did you get those 20 points back yet?"
Hermione: *smirk* "Probably not...I'm sure Snuffles will talk to Dumbledore though...I HOPE so anyway. I wouldn't want to be the first person to lose points, since I'm a Prefect..."
Harry: "that's what I told Snuffles. He said he'd talk to him for you"
Hermione: *sighs* "That's good...is it just me or is Snape looking even more murderous this year? Is that possible?"
Harry: "I didn't think so.. but aparently it is"
Hermione: "It's probably just because Snuffles is here...erg, Snape...he's so...CHILDISH!"
Harry: "Of course he is.. calm down Hermione"
Hermione: *sigh* "Why doesn't Dumbledore just sack him already? He hates all the students...except the Slytherins, of course..."
Harry: "I told you... actually, you told me... Dumbledore trusts him!"
Hermione: "I know, I know. And I suppose he does know a lot of stuff...I don't know, I'm just tired, I suppose. Ron is sure taking a while"
Harry: "Yeah, I don't know where he went"
Hermione: "Oh well...why was he looking so uncomfortable before when he was talking to me?"
Harry: "Talking to you?"
Hermione: "Yeah, in Herbology he seemed like he was uncomfortable about something..."
Harry: "Oh.. uhh.. what did he say? I don't remember"
Hermione: *laughs* "Actually he didn't say much of anything, just kind of started then got red all over and looked away. Oh well. Have you had any of this Treacle Tart?"
Harry: "No.. reminds me of Hagrid.. I won't eat it."
Hermione: *laughs* "Well, I want to get my Herbology work done so I can relax later, so I'm going to the library for a while"
Hermione: "Okay see ya.. send Ron down here if you see him"
Hermione: "Alright, I'll meet you in the common room!" *Grabs over-stuffed bag and leaves the great hall*


||OOC: STOP THE ANIMOSITY!!! Chloe, let's pretend that didn't happen because I am STUPID! STUPID I TELLS YOU! So just say Ginny is coming back to the common room after dinner and I walk in from the library and start that over. What's your SN?--Julie||

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 // 04:54 p.m.
Blaise was sitting in her seat in the History of Magic Room, half asleep and half taking notes about whatever Professor Binns was talking about.

Looking around the room, she scanned everyone in the room, before landing on Draco. Turning away, shoving an almost-asleep Slytherin off of her arm, she doodled on a scrap of parchment.

Wednesday, October 2, 2002 // 07:14 p.m.
OOC: Here's an RP Adolssins (Remus) and I had over AIM. Note: this takes place before Sirius and Harry had their conversation (we had to break it up the first time), and it's rather long.

Sirius: Sirius is sitting behind his desk, lost in thought, when he hears knocking on the door.
Remus: Waiting outside, Remus hums a tune in his head, waiting for Sirius to open the door.
Sirius: Sirius walks to his door cautionously, don't wanting a repeat of earlier today's happenings. "Hello?" he says softly
Remus: "Hi, It's Remus.." grinning to himself
Sirius: "Remus!!" He quickly opens the door, beaming.
Remus: "Hello to you to" he grins, stepping inside quickly before anyone could see him
Sirius: He closes the door and pulls Remus into an embrace. "It's good to see you, Remus."
Remus: Hugging him back, he nods "Good to see you too. How have you been?"
Sirius: "I've been good. How about you?" he motions to Remus to sit in a chair
Remus: Sitting down he shrugs "I've been pretty good. Dumbledore is sending me out again after Halloween"
Sirius: He sits down in a chair, facing Remus. "Halloween, that's soon. What do you have to do this time?"
Remus: sighing "I know, too soon. I'm supposed to go talk to the werewolves about joining us.."
Sirius: Frowning "Are you supposed to visit all werewolves?"
Remus: He shrugged "I don't know...he only told me that I was supposed to be an "ambassador" to the werewolves..and that's all he would tell me"
Sirius: "Hmm. That could take some time. Are you going alone?"
Remus: "yea, prolly. who else would they send?"
Sirius: "I know what you mean. I'm just worried, it could be dangerous. Did you hear if Hagrid got to negotiate with the giants, by the way?"
Remus: "It probably will be, but it should work out. He did, last I heard. That Maxime(?) went with him"
Sirius: "Yes, I heard that too. I wish I could do something, but Dumbledore doesn't think it wise because the Ministry is still looking for me. I hate hanging around and not being able to help."
Remus: "I know, but I agree that it's best you stay here, you'd do alot more good alive than dead. Which is what you'd be if the ministry got you. Plus you get to spend more time with Harry while your here.."
Sirius: He looks uncomfortable "It seems like Harry has been avoiding me though. I feel guilty, I haven't been able to do anything for him. Great godfather I am."
Remus: "I don't think he's avoiding you, just busy. You remember how the first week is. It's not your fault that you couldn't, and you've done good all things considered.."
Sirius: He sighs. "I know. But it was my idea Pettigrew should be secretkeeper."
Remus: "but you thought it would be best. We never even thought he was working for the other side"
Sirius: Looking grim, "Yes. Cute little Peter. Who would have thought it..."
Remus: raises an eyebrow "cute? not the word I would use..."
Sirius: "The teachers always seemed to think he was a cutie. And the girls..." He sighs. "It was so easy to believe him."
Remus: frowning he nods "I know. But we'll get him back.."
Sirius: He looks grim. "Yes. That we will. He will pay for what he's done."
Remus: he just nodded
Sirius: "So, Remus. What have you been doing all these years?"
Remus: "well, I was just wandering and doing odd jobs before, then I taught here for a year, then I went back to wandering. you?"
Sirius: "I've been surviving Azkaban, mainly. Trying not to go insane. And after the fiasco in the Shack I've been in hiding, mainly near Hogsmeade, and in tropical locations."
Remus: "I'm glad you didn't. Didn't they say you know who was rumoured in the tropics..?"
Sirius: He raises his eyebrows "Really? I haven't heard about that. I didn't hear any news in the tropics..."
Remus: "yes. or at least thats what I heard.."
Sirius: "Was that recently?"
Remus: "end of last year i think.."
Sirius: "Strange. It doesn't seem like a location for You-know-who... I haven't heard much about him since he got his body back."
Remus: "yea. maybe because there's less people down there? I don't know..that's the last I heaard of him. It's been so quiet recently.."
Sirius: "Maybe... Yes... Eerily quiet. I have a feeling Harry knows more though. He wrote to me this summer, saying he was afraid."
Remus: "He did? Did he mention anything about his scar or visions?"
Sirius: He frowns, trying to remember the letter. "He was a bit vague about it. Just saying he was worried, and if I thought he was safe. If You-know-who could kill him there."
Remus: "that's wierd."
Remus: "do you think Dumbledore should know? or does he already...?"
Sirius: "There isn't much Dumbledore doesn't know. But I don't think Harry has told him. I think he doesn't want to bother people with his problems. But I reckon he's been having more visions than ever, since his blood was used to resurrect You-know-who."
Remus: Remus nods "Yes, he does seem to know everything. rather unnerving. Your prolly right, I suppose all we can do then is wait for him to tell someone then?"
Sirius: "yes. Very unnerving. Do you remember how he always knew what we were up to when we were kids? I guess it didn't even come as a shock to him we were animagi. And yes, I suppose that's all we can do". He sighs.
Remus: "yes, the good old days. maybe hermione and ron can get something out of him?"
Sirius: "I hope so. He has a tendency to want to figure out everything himself, I guess it's a result from living up with those Muggles. Neither James or Lily were like this."
Remus: "me too. yes, he had to because those good for nothing wouldn't. NO...but then they never had as big of problems to deal with.."
Sirius: "That's true. Not until they had to get into hiding, at least. Although Lily was always a bit on the quiet side, compared to James."
Remus: He nodded, sighing wearily "yes, but both had their moments"
Sirius: Looking sad, "Yes. How I miss them both."
Remus: nodding again, knowing what he meant "I do too"
Sirius: "But we still have Harry. I wanted to ask you, do you still have stuff of James and Lily that you might want to give to Harry?"
Remus: thinking for a moment he nodded "I think I have a couple pictures of them, and I might have some other things hidden somewhere. I'll look through my room and see if theres anything"
Sirius: Smiling, "Thank you. I'm going to give him a box with some belongings James asked me to keep for him when he comes to see me. A sort of belated birthday present. And another question... Do you know what happened to Godric's Hollow?"
Remus: shaking his head "I think it's the same as it was after that night. why?"
Sirius: "I wonder if we could have it rebuilt for Harry. It belongs to him, after all."
Remus: "that's a great idea. we should go out sometime and see how bad it is.."
Sirius: "Maybe you could have a look? I can't get out here without Arabella, as I'm supposed to be her dog." He looks frustrated.
Remus: nodding "alright. I'll go this weekend. or she could come along..?"
Sirius: his face lights up "That's a good idea, mate. I'd really like to go. I want to make up for those lost years."
Remus: he nodded, smilling "alright then. we'll just haveta pick a weekend"
Sirius: "Is next weekend all right? If Arabella doesn't have anything else to do and wants to come along, that is."
Remus: "next weekends fine with me. I'm sure she'll come if you tell her why"
Sirius: "Good. I think she will. It's very strange being on a first name basis with Arabella. She's very nice though."
Remus: raising an eyebrow "yes it is. I remember playing jokes on her in class..but she is. I feel kind of bad about it now.."
Sirius: He grins. "Me too. The dismay we've caused her... But it was a fun time, wasn't it?"
Remus: grinning back "yes. it was, all times then were fun, well most of the time"
Sirius: "Yes. Though those transformations every month must have been a nightmare for you."
Remus: he shrugged "it got better when you guys came along"
Sirius: He looks at the gray streaks in Remus' hair. "I'm glad we could do something for you. Does Snape still make that potion for you?"
Remus: "yea. Dumbledore makes him, and even though he says there isn't, I'm positive he could do something to make it taste better though.."
Sirius: He looks grim. "It wouldn't surprise me. I'm almost sorry I pulled that prank on him all those years ago, I didn't know it would have this big of an effect."
Remus: "he'd still be a slimy git either way, it was good for a laugh though...but James got a bit mad"
Sirius: "Probably. I guess James got mad because the prank could have gotten us expelled. And I didn't want to kill him, you know. Just scare him a bit."
Remus: "I know, yes, cause I know he wanted to get rid of him as much as we did. Although I feel a bit sorry for him..he was always so alone.."
Sirius: "Yes. Sometimes I wonder what made him like this. He never had any friends, and I don't think he had siblings either."
Remus: nodding "I don't really know much about his family. maybe he had a hard childhood?"
Sirius: "Maybe. Who knows. It's not as if he ever talks to people voluntarily."
Remus: he shrugged "yeah, and I suppose we'll never find out"
Sirius: "I guess. Arabella told me he smiled at her."
Remus: looked t Sirius a bit suprised, raising his eyebrows "Snape...smile??"
Sirius: He grinned. "Yes. He actually smiled. I didn't know he was capable of doing so."
Remus: shaking his head smiling "me either. maybe the tin man might have a heart..? somewhere"
Sirius: He laughed. "Maybe. Somewhere. A tiny heart, of stone of course"
Remus: "of course"
Sirius: "What will you be doing until Halloween, by the way?"
Remus: "relaxing and taking a nice vacation here"
Sirius: He smiled "That's good. Though Hogwarts might not be the best place to relax, from what I recall."
Remus: he shrugged "better than the woods or random hotel"
Sirius: He raised his eyebrows "Don't you have a place of your own?"
Remus: nodding "yes. but I'm not there alot"
Sirius: "How come? And how is your family?"
Remus: "my job take me to different places. they were ok last I heard"
Sirius: "Good. I wonder if any of my family is still alive."
Remus: "I dunno. I could ask around, maybe someone knows?"
Sirius: He looks hopeful "Could you? I'd like to know what my sister is doing nowadays. If she married... " he trailed off
Remus: he nodded, putting a hand on Sirius' shoulder "yes, I will. I'll start tommorow"
Sirius: He smiles "Thanks. I'm so glad we're back at Hogwarts again at the same time. You're a great friend."
Remus: he grinned "I am too. I missed just being able to talk, you know we'll have to try and get a few pranks in though.."
Sirius: He grinned back. "Oh? Any particular ideas?"
Remus: "not really. maybe turning all the hufflepuffs hair green? or something to Snape, since we cant get points taken away now..."
Sirius: He laughed. "Maybe we should do something a bit more subtle. Like only turning McGonagalls hair green."
Remus: "yes, slytherin green and maybe a bit of silver?"
Sirius: "Snape might actually like that." He grinned. "That's a great idea, I'd really like to see the looks on everyone's faces."
Remus: his smile widened and he nodded "alright then. when should we do it? Halloween?"
Sirius: He grinned. "Yes. That's a good occasion, people are loosened up then anyway."
Remus: "I'll help you get it ready, but you'll have to do it, I can't be there"
Sirius: "Hey, you can't miss it! Do you have to leave the day of Halloween? Maybe we should do it earlier then."
Remus: "Not leave.." he trailed off "full moon"
Sirius: Sirius' smile faltered. "I'm not leaving you alone with full moon."
Remus: "I'll be ok. I have the potion, so I'll just curl up in my room"
Sirius: "I'll stay with you, Remus. I know you don't want to be alone. I can miss Halloween."
Remus: "Thank-you.."
Remus: Remus smiled and stood up, stratching "I suppose I should get going, it was good talking to you again, see you later?.."
Sirius: Sirius got up and smiled. "Yes. It was great talking to you too. See you at dinner."
Remus: He nodded, opening the portrait door "yes. see you then" he smiled over his should once, and stepped out into the hall, the portrait shutting behind him. Sighing but feeling better he headed towards his room.
Sirius: Sirius sat down, sighing. It was good to have Remus back as his friend.

OOC: This is an AIM RP between Harry and Sirius. (posted by Martine). Harry: *meets sirius in the room next to gryffindor tower*
Sirius:: Walking to the door, he asks softly "who is it?"
Harry: "It's only me"
Sirius:: "Harry!" he exlaimed, opening the door
Harry: *closes the door behind him, grins, and says..* "what's up?"
Sirius:: He walks up to hug Harry. "I'm fine, what about you? It's good to see you."
Harry: "I'm okay... I don't think Hermione is though. Good to see you to. What did you want?"
Sirius:: He motions to Harry to sit down in a chair. "What's wrong with Hermione? I saw her today."
Harry: "Oh, she seemed pretty disturbed.. then Ron asked her if she was alright.. and she seemed distracted"
Harry: "what happened with her by the way, today?"
Sirius::"Maybe it was that situation with Snape. I'm sorry she had to see that"
Harry: "I suppose you don't want me to know? I'll just ask her later"
Sirius:: "No, it's okay. We were having a conversation in the DADA classroom, when Snape walked in. He was very... Snape like to Hermione"
Harry: "mm.. I see"
Sirius:: "I'll talk to Dumbledore about it. I'll see to it she gets those 20 points back."
Harry: "She better get them back. It's only the starting of the schoolyear.. and she's a prefect!"
Sirius:: He grinned. "Really? I should have guessed that."
Harry: *chuckles*
Harry: "Anyway.. what did you want to talk to me about?"
Sirius:: "I want to know how you've been. And I'd like to talk about that letter you sent me this summer."
Harry: "Oh yeah, I don't believe that he'll come kill me anymore.. I think I was just having a bad week with the Dursleys and all"
Sirius:: He frowns. "Harry, you don't have to say it if you don't mean it. I'm sure something must have caused you to write that letter."
Harry: "I'm serious Sirius... *grins*"
Sirius:: Sirius laughs. "Oh god. Not that joke. But er... seriously. You know I'm here for you now, right?"
Harry: "Yes."
Sirius:: He sighs. This could prove to be a difficult discussion. "So. How was your summer?"
Harry: "It was okay once i got to go to Ron's.."
Harry: "I went during the last week.. so it was a waste. Stupid Dursleys."
Sirius:: "What did they do to you this summer?"
Harry: "Nothing, but Dudley's still on that diet"
Sirius:: "Oh. I'm sorry, Harry." he looks guilty. "I really tried to make it to Privet Drive on your birthday, but it... didn't work out."
Harry: "That's okay. I got presents:-)"
Sirius:: "I'm glad to hear it. I er... have a present for you as well. It's not much, but Remus got it out of Gringotts for me." he walks to a closet and pulls out a box
Harry: *raises eyebrows*
Sirius:: "It's not exactly a present, as it's rightfully yours." he hands the box to Harry. "These are some posessions your parents gave me, for safekeeping."
Harry: *opens up the box and sees pictures*
Harry: *opens mouth but closes again.. then says* "thanks sirius"
Sirius:: "It's picture albums, and some other little things. School stuff, some baby clothes you wore. Your mother had a bad feeling about the whole thing, and asked me to keep them until they were safe." he looks sad
Sirius:: "Sure. I'm glad I could at least give you this."
Harry: "Thanks, that means a lot to me.. I thought all my stuff was gone"
Sirius:: "I'm not sure if there's more, I think other school friends might still have some things as well. I'll ask Remus to contact them, as I'm still supposed to be in hiding."
Harry: "Yes, actually.. you should go now. Thanks for all the stuff Sirius.. send me a note later. I'm sure I'll see you by then. I have to go do homework anyway"
Sirius:: He raises his eyebrows. "go?"
Harry: "I didn't mean go.. i meant just in case"
Harry: "Er.. now you're making me feel guilty"
Sirius:: "Well, Dumbledore arranged I could stay in this room for all of the schoolyear, actually."
Sirius:: "Don't! I just didn't understand what you meant, that's all. I'm sorry, I'm kind of new to being a pseudo-parent."
Harry: "Oh? That's good! Then you won't have to send me a letter.. I'll just have to watch myself when I come in here:-)
Sirius:: He smiles "Yes. I'm supposed to be Arabella's dog, and I'll try to get Dumbledore to make a passage between Arabella's room and mine. It would be perfectly safe to visit me whenever you want."
Harry: "Perfect then."
Sirius:: "Did you have DADA class yet?"
Harry: "No, not till next week. Why?"
Sirius:: He tries not to smile. "Oh, no particular reason. I'm just curious what you think of the teacher."
Harry:: "I think I'll like her.. she seems mysterious"
Sirius:: "Don't you... recognize her?"
Harry:: "exactly why i said she was mysterious.. she baby sat me!"
Sirius:: He grins. "That I've heard. Arabella Figg, babysitting. It's a really funny image."
Harry:: "mmhmm.. she had lots of cats"
Sirius:: "She left those at home though"
Harry:: "Oh, does she miss them?"
Sirius:: "She doesn't appear to miss them much. She took the photo albums with her though."
Harry:: "Good for her, it's because she's got you, as a dog"
Sirius:: "Harry, you have homework to do, right? Just remember you're always welcome here, and please tell me if something's wrong. Not only because I want to know what bothers you, but every information about Voldemort is important."
Harry:: "I will, I haven't even had scar pains in the last while. Don't worry. And I'll come visit you tomorrow with Ron and Hermione"
Sirius:: Smiling "That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to your visit. Say hi to Ron and Hermione from me."
Harry:: "I will Bye, thanks for the presents" *grins and walks out the door*

Monday, September 30, 2002 // 09:40 p.m.
OOC: umm the last post i posted i was waiting for hermoine to answer me and she still hasnt.i was talking to her. but i guess she didnt read it.

"argh, potions is so amazingly boring." Ginny said to Herself as she was given instructions involving an eye of toad and a claw from a lizard. She wasn't paying attention so she was now lost on what to do.

//Ginny

Monday, September 30, 2002 // 03:23 p.m.
Snape walked through the corridors, scowling at everyone who dared look at him.

Insolent, stupid girl. She should know better, this is her 5th year, for God's sake. And that Black. Stupid rivalry indeed.

And to make matters worse, I have to teach potions to that clone of James Potter this afternoon.

//Snape

Sunday, September 29, 2002 // 10:09 p.m.
*sighs* "I've been better...I just need to relax...I hope we don't get much work for tonight, I really just need to sort things out. How about this afternoon? I've got Arithmancy and you two've got Divination, do you want to go visit Hagrid after dinner? It'll be nice to talk to him. Just make sure you find out when you need to meet Snuffles, Harry."

*sighs and begins working on trimming some odd flowered plant*

//Hermione

Sunday, September 29, 2002 // 07:33 p.m.
*glances at Hermione to wait for her answer*

I'll send a note tonight to Sirius... or, yeah, I'll meet him in the Common Room tonight

Sunday, September 29, 2002 // 04:31 p.m.
Ron cleared his throat, and pulled his schedule out from his robes pocket. He looked at the list and sighed. "Usual day... along with the Slytherins. Again." He stuffed the parchment back into his robes and turned to Hermione. "You seem really stressed about things lately, Hermione. Term's just started, you shouldn't have homework to worry about yet..." He looked down at his feet for a moment then glanced at Professor Sprout to make sure she wasn't listening, then looked back up. "You alright?"

//Ron

Sunday, September 29, 2002 // 04:12 p.m.
*Waits for Professor Sprout to stop talking and let them work freely.*

"I was just talking with Snuffles...he wants to know why you haven't returned his owl, and he'd like to speak with you tonight. I was talking to him when Snape walked in...of course you know they hate each other, so there was Snape acting like he was still 16 years old, Snuffles trying hard to protect me and Gryffindor house, and me, losing my temper. I have to stop this...he said he would take round 20 points away from Gryffindor. I can't take much of this, and I can't go losing my temper like before. *sigh* Oh well...Ron, when have we got Potions?"

//Hermione

Sunday, September 29, 2002 // 02:49 p.m.
||Sorry I haven't posted in a while.. I've been really busy with school, friends, and my website. Hey... did you hear that the fifth book is finished?||

*whispers over ron's shoulder to Hermione*
"Where were you? You're never late for Herbology!"
*sees the angered look on Hermione's face and turns around to look at Sprout*

//Harry

Sunday, July 28, 2002 // 12:03 p.m.
ooc: sorry about not being here, I've been sick for the past week and havent been able to get on. Thank you Charlotte for taking care of that. I can't believe that happened :( no, he's not. I guess I'll play him for now (unless someone else wants to?). That might work, we could always try it and see..?

OOC: Re: updating for other people. I have a question. Remus Lupin hasn't updated for a while now, and I'd really like some interaction between Sirius and Remus, as they're supposed to be best friends. Same for Harry. There is a rule that says you have to update AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. Could we make a deal that if someone hasn't updated for more than a week someone else posts for them? Otherwise the RPG is going to move real slow. Like 1 day in 2 weeks. Does anyone have any ideas how we could solve this problem? PS: it wasn't me who updated for Cho.

//Martine

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 04:43 p.m.
OOC: WHO UPDATED FOR CHO. YOU DO NOT UPDATE FOR SOMEONE ELSE, THAT PERSON WILL GET AROUND TO IT. CHO HASN'T HAD A BIG PART YET SO SHE HASN'T HAD TO UPDATE RECENTLY. STOP PLAYING GOD AND PLAY YOUR OWN CHARACTER.

If you do not see the Cho entry, it is because it has been deleted. DO NOT UPDATE FOR OTHER PEOPLE UNLESS THAT PERSON DOES NOT HAVE SOMEONE PLAYING THEM. Thank you. ~Char

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 04:17 p.m.
*Still seething about Snape's idiocy, Hermione walked into Herbology 5 minutes late. Hermione is a good student though, so Professor Sprout did not get angry. Hermione moves to work at a table with Harry, Ron, and a Hufflepuff girl.*

"Harry, Snuffles would like to see you tonight. And when do we have Potions?" *Tries to get her mind off Snape.*

//Hermione

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 11:09 p.m.
OOC: Here's a little RP Hermione and me (Sirius and Snape (split personality?!)) had on AIM.

Hermione: *Is eating breakfast with Harry and Ron when she suddenly remembers she left her Herbology equipment in her dormitory* (To Harry and Ron) I have to go get my Herbology stuff, I'll meet you guys outside, alright? *Runs off*
Sirius: Sirius is waiting in his animagus form outside the DADA classroom when he suddenly sees a girl dashing by.
Hermione:: *Oh no I'm going to be late...hey, wasn't that Snuffles back there?*
martinetsom: (Sirius) When Sirius recognizes the girl as Hermione, he runs up to her, intending to ask her about Harry.
Hermione: *Sees the great black dog running after her. I can miss the beginning of Herbology...if he needs to talk to me it's probably about Harry or something...*
Hermione: *finds an empty classroom off to the right...it looks pretty dark, so she enters and lets the dog in after her*
Sirius: Sirius enters the classroom, and transforms into his human form after Hermione closes the door.
Hermione: "Hello Sirius...You've been keeping out of trouble, I hope?"
Sirius: He smiles at Hermione. "Yes, the Headmaster has arranged it all very well. How have you been?"
Hermione: "I've been alright...it's the first day and I already feel this year will be pretty...interesting..."
Sirius: "Oh? How so?"
Hermione: "That whole fiasco on the train, first of all. Do you know why it kept stopping like that?"
Sirius: "I haven't asked Dumbledore about it yet, I assume he knows. He didn't say anything about it at the Feast though. It is a strange matter, yes."
Hermione: "And what about that new DADA professor? Harry says she used to be his babysitter!"
Sirius: "Yes... That's Arabella Figg. She went back to the Muggle world after You-Know-Who killed Harry's parents."
Hermione: "Oh...that reminds me, have you heard anything about You-Know-Who?"
Sirius: "There are rumours. Dumbledore has told me something about it, but I'm afraid I can't tell you much at the moment. What I wanted to ask you... How is Harry? I owled him yesterday, but he hasn't sent a reply yet."
Hermione: "He's been a bit...preoccupied...I don't think Ron is going about cheering him up the right way either. He's trying to act as normal as possible but I think something is up...I don't know how to ask him. DId you want me to tell him something for you?"
Sirius: Sirius frowns. "I have some idea what he might be worried about, but I want to talk to him about it. I have a feeling he's been avoiding me, and I have no clue why. Would you please tell him to contact me?"
Sirius: At this moment, he hears a the door opening. Panicking he stares at the door, and he sees Snape enter.
Snape: "Well, well. Isn't this cozy."
Hermione: "Erm..." *panics* "Er..."
Sirius: "What are you doing here, Snape? You can see this is a private discussion, can't you?"
Snape: "I can't imagine Dumbledore giving you permission to have private discussions with one of his students in human form, in broad daylight, can you?"
Snape: "You wouldn't want me to slip that piece of information to him or maybe some Slytherin students, now would you?"
Hermione: "You wouldn't!"
Sirius: Looks at Hermione, as to urge her to come up with a good idea
Snape: "I suggest you keep your mouth shut for once in your life, you stupid girl!"
Hermione: *face gets red, she looks down*
Sirius: "Could you handle this situation as an adult for once in your life, instead of acting like the schoolboy you once were? I'd think the matter of You-Know-Who and other dark matters are more important to you now than some old rivalry"
Hermione: *Looks shocked at this, seeing nothing short of loathing in each face*
Snape: Scowls at Sirius "Black, you may think about it as a school rivalry, but an attempt to kill someone can't be passed by like a normal prank, now can it? And may I remind you of the fact you're still supposed to be in Azkaban?"
Hermione: "He's innocent! You just don't know that because three SCHOOL CHILDREN knocked you out and you missed Pettigrew's confession!"
Sirius: "I'm innocent, and you know it. As for trying to kill you, it's a pity I didn't succeed then. You're still as worthless as you were 20 years ago"
Snape: Looks shocked at Hermione "YOU INSOLENT GIRL! You should stay out of other people's matters instead of stick your nose in everything. These are adult matters, and secret matters on top of that. And I imagine you have classes to go to? I suggest you leave, before I decide to take some house points"
Sirius: "It's not the girl's fault you're the stuck up immature Slytherin you are, Snape. Keep her out of this."
Hermione: "And yet, I am being more adult than you have been in the past 2 years."
Snape: Is so angry his face is turning a green colour. "20 points from Gryffindor for your cheek, miss Granger. And now leave this room, unless you'd like to attend detention with Filch tonight?"
Sirius: "Nothing of the kind. And I will speak this through with Dumbledore. If you can't behave like an adult when I'm near, maybe you could keep out of our matters and leave."
Hermione: *Face turns redder than before with anger, looks to Sirius* "I can't believe you! Erg, Sirius, I should get to Herbology...I'll give Harry your message." *runs past Snape, not bothering to say sorry as she bumped right into him and left*
Sirius: "Thank you, Hermione. And I apologize -" He trails off when he sees she's already left.
Sirius: "I won't leave it to this. I WILL talk to Dumbledore about this, as you're unlikely to ever gain any sanity. These are difficult, dangerous times. Act on it."
Sirius: He leaves Snape staring at the door when he transforms into his animagus form and leaves for Dumbledore's office.

OOC: OK, people, update! You know you want to! ;).

//Sirus, Snape, Hermione

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 03:23 p.m.
Ron yawned slightly as her looked over at Hermione's schedule. "Yeah, we have Divination III. Another year of completely making things up," he added with a grin at Harry. Running a hand back through his slightly tossled red hair, he continued to eat.

//Ron

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 09:05 p.m.
Snape walked up to the teacher's table that morning, glaring at everyone in the Great Hall. He had talked with Dumbledore about the dog issue, and apparently that ruddy Black was here to stay.

Seeing the black dog sitting next to Arabella, he scowled at both and sat down to enjoy his regular breakfast: black tea.

OOC: Sorry for the lack of interaction, but there isn't really anyone to interact with right now. Is Remus Lupin still in the RP?

//Snape

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 08:59 p.m.
Sirius woke up the next morning after a night full of dreams of Hogwarts. He shook his head, took a shower, and pulled on his clothes before changing into his animagus form and walking to Arabella's chambers to acompany her to breakfast.

I wonder if Harry got my letter, he didn't send an answer back yet.

//Sirius

Saturday, September 28, 2002 // 12:48 p.m.
||Stupid stupid school taking up way too much time...||

*Hermione woke the next morning and, after getting ready, went down to breakfast with Harry and Ron. Professor McGonigall was handing out Timetables, so the three were looking over their's.*

"Ah, we'll be outside this morning. Herbology, then Care of Magical Creatures. I have Arithmancy this afternoon, do you have Divination? Aw, we don't have that new DADA teacher until Thursday! Well, we can ask other people how she is."

//Hermione

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 02:30 p.m.
(( ooc: here's an short rp between Sirius and Arabella ^^ ))

Arabella: Arabella stood by a portrait, the dorr to her rooms. She seemed to be impatient, as she waited for Sirius to show up.
Sirius: After finishing his letter, Sirius transformed into his animagus form and runned towards Arabella's chambers
Arabella: Seeing the black dog approach, she whispered her password and the portrait swung open, stepping inside waiting for him to follow her.
Sirius: after the door closed, Sirius transformed again and stood before Arabella in his human form
Arabella: Arabella smiled at him "Hello Sirius, how are you?" she gestured to a chair near the fireplace, and sat down in the one across from it.
Sirius: Sirius smiled back at Arabella and sat down in the chair. "I'm fine Arabella, what about you? You know, it still feels strange, calling you by your first name."
Arabella: "I'm doing fine as well. DOes it now, I must admit it sounds odd hearing you say it. It's so odd to be back here"
Sirius: "I'm glad to hear it. And I know what you mean, it's strange to be back at Hogwarts. It hasn't changed a bit, but the people have, of course."
Arabella: "It hasn't, yes although not much. Have you gotten a chance to speak to Harry yet?
Sirius: "I haven't. He's been busy with his friends, catching up with everyone I presume. I have sent him a letter, asking him to meet me tomorrow"
Arabella: "Yes. those dursley's are awful not letting him see them. That's good. It was funny watching them at the feast"
Sirius: Sirius smiles. "Yes. I'm glad he's found good friends at Hogwarts, he needs them"
Arabella: "yes" Arabella nodded, agreeing. taking out her wand she whispered the spell, and two cups of tea appeared, picking them up she held one out to him.
Sirius: "Thank you. I'm not used to using magic for simple things like tea making anymore, 7 years without a wand seems to do that to you. So where have you been all those years?"
Arabella: She smiled at him "I know, you'll get the hang of it again. Working as a protector. I Lived in the muggle world as Harry's grouchy, cat-loving neighbor. I baby-sat him when the Dursleys were gone."
Sirius: "So you're the same Mrs Figg Harry used to talk about!" Sirius grins at Arabella. "I can imagine he was a bit shocked when he found out his old babysitter would be his new DADA teacher"
Arabella: "yea. His face was funny, he just sat there staring at me for a minute, then he grabbed the red-haired kid and started whispering to him"
Sirius: Sirius grins broadly. "That's Arthur Weasley's son, Ron. He's a good kid. His other friend is Hermione Granger, a muggle born girl, very clever, that one."
Arabella: Smiling she took a sip of her tea "really? wow..he ended up with molly right? I can't wait to meet them in class!"
Sirius: Sirius smiles "Yes. Ron is the 6th boy in the family, and he has a little sister who is also at Hogwarts, named Ginny. The twins are in their last year, so I'm afraid you'll have to deal with them as well. They're called Fred and George and are as naughty as Arthur was when he was their age."
Arabella: "that must be the girl I saw on the train then. oh dear, well, at least it won't be boring around here.."
Sirius: Sirius set his cup down on the table. "You could say that again. Arabella, Dumbledore told me we're going to make people believe I'm your dog to keep up appearances. Are you ok with that?"
Arabella: Arabella nodded "Yes, he told me in the letter about teaching here. Hopefully it'll work"
Sirius: "Good. How will we arrange this? I suppose Dumbledore will have some work for me to do as well, but I guess we will have to get together sometime to make it look like I'm living with you"
Arabella: "hmm. I'm not sure. Maybe there some way to make a hidden passage or something from here to your rooms..? This place is full of them"
Sirius: "I'll talk to Dumbledore about it. It would probably be the best thing to do. Shall I go to the great Hall with you for meals every day?"
Arabella: "Prolly. Yeah, and maybe to a couple classes"
Sirius: "Ok, seems like a good plan to me. Also, did you take any cats with you?"
Arabella: Shaking her head "no. It didn't seem like a good idea, so I left them with a friend. But I did bring my photo album of them"
Sirius: Sirius tries not to smile "I'm a bit relieved to hear it. Cats aren't always too fond of dogs."
Arabella: "yes. and my cats hate them"
Sirius: He chuckles. "Luckily Hermione's cat likes dogs. He's named Crookshanks and is as clever as his boss. He even recognized Pettigrew in his animagus form."
Arabella: she grins "really? I'd like to see this cat. too bad he couldn't catch him."
Sirius: "Yes. I'm sure you'll meet him soon, we've become great friends."
Arabella: "thats good"
Sirius: "Do you know what kind of plans Dumbledore has for the Order?"
Arabella: "not a clue. I know he sent Hagrid over the summer to negotiate with the giants..but that's it"
Sirius: "I saw Hagrid when we arrived with the Hogwarts Express. I'm curious if he got to actually negotiate with them."
Arabella: "I wouldn't count on it, but I suppose we'll find out soon"

Sirius: "Would you like to go to Diagon Alley sometime soon, by the way? I'd like to purchase a new wand at Olivanders"
Arabella: "Sure. We could go the first hogsmeade weekend?"
Sirius: "OK. Thanks. I'll ask Dumbledore if he can write a letter for Olivander, to explain."
Arabella: "alright then"
Sirius: He smiled at Arabella. "Good. I see it's getting late, is there anything else you'd like to discuss now?"
Arabella: she shook her head "that it is. not that I can think of. Best be getting to bed, busy day tommorow"
Sirius: "Yes. First day of teaching for you. I wish you good luck with the students". Sirius grinned. "Oh, and I can't wait to see Snape's face at breakfast tomorrow."
Arabella: "yes. thanks, I'll need it. Why's that?"
Sirius: "He almost got the dementors to snog me 2 years ago. I don't think he'll be glad to see I'm still alive."
Arabella: Laughing she nodded "Yes, I suppose he would be a bit mad. I feel sorry for the kids who have him tommorow"
Sirius: "Me too. I feel sorry for the kids who have him the rest of the year, as well. I always thought he would soften up with the years passing, but apparently that theory isn't always correct."
Arabella: "Yes. I wonder why? He didn't seem too bad earlier, I even saw him smile."
Sirius: Sirius frowned. "You saw Snape smile? You should write the Guiness Book of Record about that. I have no idea why he behaves as he does. He has protected Harry all these years though, so I suppose I'll have to thank him for that."
Arabella: "Yes. He actually smiled. And I don't think theres a record for that in there."
Sirius: Sirius smiled. "But then there aren't magical records either. Oh well. The day Snape smiles at me is the day hell freezes over."
Arabella: Arabella nods "maybe someday. Well I should finish working on my lessons, and Harry probably owled you back about now. so.."
Sirius: "Yes. And as you said, it'll be a busy day tomorrow." He got up. "It was nice talking to you. Good night!" he transformed into a dog again.
Arabella: She stood up as well, walking over she opened the door for him "Yes, it was. well See you in the morning. 'night"

Arabella walked slowly towards her office, in the back of the DADA classroom, in hopes she could get some stuff set up for classes tomorrow. Opening the door, hearing it creak slightly, she went in and looked around, feeling more than a bit nervous about tomorrow. She sat down behind the desk, taking out a sheet of parchment and quill, writing down her lesson plans.

"I must be insane coming back here to teach..they're prolly not even going to like me. I should have stood at home with my cats..darn Dumbledore.."

*Draco shrugged watching them leave, and turned to Crabbe and Goyle*

"I suppose we should get back down, wouldn't want to be out after curfew." not hiding his sarcasm, he turned and headed towards the slytherin commonroom. Crabbe and Goyle close behind.

//Draco

Monday, September 23, 2002 // 12:30 a.m.
*walks to his room near the Gryffindor common room. It's more of an appartment, actually, with a small living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, everything in Gryffindor colors. He sits down at his desk, writing a letter to Harry.*

Harry, please meet me tomorrow after class. Look at your Map in order to find me, I can't give out anything in case this falls in the wrong hands.

Blaise smirked at the spot where Snape had been, "Oh great, This really is a disaster" She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Dusting off her robes, she drawled, "Well I better get back to Gossipville.. G'bye"

Then Blaise turned around and walked off.

*runs up the stairs* *opens her mouth to speak but stops when she sees Hermione there as well* ::I'd better not get involved after all, it might not help:: *continues up the stairs*

//Parvati

Sunday, September 22, 2002 // 03:51 p.m.

//Ginny

Sunday, September 22, 2002 // 12:05 a.m.
*sees Blaise hitting Hermione Granger with a spell and the Gryffindors hurrying away*

"Miss Zablini, I would think that you'd know after 4 years of Hogwarts that using magic in the corridors is strictly forbidden. 10 points will be taken from Slytherin for your insolence. I'd expect better from a Slytherin".

*glaring at the Slytherins, he swiftly walks away*.

((OOC: Okay, Harry, Hermione and I had a chat room RP, here are the results.))

Herm: *Harry Ron and Hermione walk into the common room*
Herm: I can't believe that Blaise girl...

Harry: Why would she do that to you...?

Ron: *Scoffs* well, she's a slytherin, isn't she?

Harry: *grins* yeah

Herm: And she's probably trying to smarm up to Malfoy

Harry: nah, draco's got pansy to do that for him

Ron: *snikers* can you see those two together? They're children would be freaks of nature

Herm: Why would anyone want to be with him?!
Herm: He's just...evil!

Harry: *chuckles* you never know hermione

Ron: *shrugs* money, probably.

Herm: Ugh. I'm not going to take his garbage this year...I almost smacked him right there...good thing I didn't, or Snape would've taken about 100 points from us. *scowl*

Ron: *smiles some* I might have been worth it though. Imagine the look on his face! dawson dig: cant do that this year (ooc: are you a prefect?)

Herm: He knows some nasty curses though, I don't fancy walking around with fangs again. If I wasn't a prefect I would have him begging me for mercy...

Harry: "You should know all those terrible curses, Hermione, you read all those books"
Harry: or do you...

Herm: Yes but I don't PRACTICE them, I'm a good girl :-)

Ron: *walks over to one of the large arm chairs and flops down* Which reminds me, Hermione, you're not going to rat me and Harry out if we do a bit of sneaking around this year... even if you are a prefect. right?

Harry: *looks at Hermione*

Herm: Well...just try to stay out of trouble, can't you? Of course I wouldn't report you... *looks uncomfortable*

Harry: Heh, you better not

Herm: Well, anyway...

Ron: *grins* Good. Besides, you've become almost as much of a rule breaker as us.

Harry: *sits down on the rug*

Herm: Well I wouldn't go THAT far...*grins and changes the subject* Ron, what have Fred and George been up to lately? They're not still on about that joke shop, are they?

Ron: *laughs a bit* Of course they are! They've got big plans, seeing as how this year is their last year at Hogwarts.

Harry: hmm, time flies... i can see them owning a store.

Herm: So can I...I can't see your mum being happy about that though, Ron...*grins*

Harry: meh, they cant last a week.. they'll probably play pranks on their customers

Harry: does your mum know ron?

Herm: *laughs*

Ron: *grins* I think she suspects, but they're not admitting to anything

Herm: So Harry, what was going on between you and Cho earlier??

Harry: *goes red* *clears throat*

Ron: *smirks a little, knowing how the subject embarrasses Harry*

Harry: nothing...
Harry: *glares at ron*

Herm: *sees this bothers Harry* Erm...uh..how about Seamus and Lavender? That's...that's something!

Harry: *shrugs* I dont care.. how about that viktor and hermione thiiing ron
Harry: *puts head down, knowing he said too much*

Ron: *glances at Harry, a wary expression on his face* Why are you asking me? Ask her. *jerks a thumb at Hermione*

Herm: *now Hermione goes red* Actually I haven't heard from him...which is probably a good thing...

Ron: *looks up* a good thing?

Harry: *looks at hermione, then ron*

Herm: Well, I mean...I was teased so much for it, and I could tell it made CERTAIN people angry...

Harry: *coughs to keep from laughing*

Ron: *ears go slightly red* Well, you'd never get to see him anyway. *narrows his eyes at Harry, then pretends to be fascinated by the fire*

Herm: *goes red* wow, that's quite a nice...fire... Harry: you guys are boring
Herm: *Suddenly gets angry* and don't be mad about me and Viktor, what about your whole Fleur fiasco?

Harry: *looks at ron*

Ron: *narrows his eyes at Hermione* It wasn't a fiasco. Besides, all she did was kiss me on the cheek.

Herm: *grins, satisfied* alright then...

Harry: Will you for once stop arguing? Ron, leave hermione alone about krum, and hermione, leave ron alone about fleur!

Ron: *smirks slightly* It's good to be back

Herm: *laughs*

Harry: *laughs*
Harry: thats better

Ron: *grins and clears his throat* well... it's getting late, I think

Herm: Well I'm really tired, so I'm going to go to sleep...I'll see you at breakfast!

Ron: *nods and stands to go up to the dorms* Night, Hermione!

Harry: i'm gonna go up too. good night hermione..

Herm: Good night

Saturday, September 21, 2002 // 04:08 p.m.
||OOC: Whaa??? OK, can EVERYONE please read EVERY NEW post before making their own? Because according to Malfoy, Blaise wasn't there, then Snape came, then BAM! And it's hard to adjust. Or maybe I'm just stupid. Or both.||

*Stumbles as she gets hit with Blaise's spell...fortunately it wasn't anything serious and stumbling was the only affect. Hermione was about to fight back when who should arrive, but Snape.*

Of course...the only teacher to ever come has to be HIM. Well he won't make this situation any better, we'd better go, I don't want to lose 50 points before term even starts.

"We're not doing anything, Professor. We were just on our way to our common room."

*Moves past Snape, pulling Harry and Ron with her, before anyone can say anything. 5 minutes later, the three were crawling through the portrait hole into the Gryffindor common room.*

//Hermione

Saturday, September 21, 2002 // 02:57 p.m.
*steps out* "Hello Cho" *glanced at her sadly and rushed by* "Where'd Ginny get to?!" She asked herself "uuum Common Room!" She said running up the stairs to the common room.

//Parvati

Saturday, September 21, 2002 // 08:20 p.m.
"Cho, Im sorry but I really got to go." said Ginny feeling a bit guilty. "I need to be alone" said Ginny running up the stairs without looking back.

//Ginny

Saturday, September 21, 2002 // 10:33 a.m.
Parvati heard what Cho and Ginny had said, suddenly she felt so bad for Ginny, ::Poor Ginny! And it was so obvious that Harry liked Cho, and Cho liked Harry!:: She thought. *Yule Ball memories* *Sigh* "I hope they ,move soon, I want to get to the common room." She whispered.

//Parvati

Friday, September 20, 2002 // 09:55 p.m.
((OOC: hmm.. also, would some people stop godplaying? Playing someone's character without permission annoys me.. so, yeah. ;x))

Blaise took out her thin wand from her pocket, and aimed it at Hermione. Muttering a curse that flashed out a red light and zoomed to hit her squarely in the eye, she stepped out from the shadows after pocketing her wand.

"I know a way you can solve this.. Draco, Crabbe and Goyle, go back to the Slytherin Dungeons and quit blocking these little Gryffies, it's just wasting your time. Now for the Gryffies, We all know you all are in a grumpy mood, but you could handle this in a more mature manner," she crossed her arms in front of her stomach, scanning each of them carefully before looking at Snape.

//Blaise

Friday, September 20, 2002 // 07:04 a.m.
*Shrugging he just glares at her*

"Me ignorant? I'm not the one acting like a puppet! I know more about what's going on than any of you. And Granger, your not ahead of me by much, and I beat you in potions, but see, then again, I don't spend all day with my nose stuck in a book! So, you said to move so you could leave, and I did, so just walk along and leave me the bloody hell alone!"

*hearing Snape, he smirks and turns to face him, looking all innocent*

"Goyle, Crabbe, and I were just standing here, talking and reading our newspaper, minding our own buisness. Then Potter and his friends decide to come over and act like we did something wrong, and Granger there" *he shrugged to where Hermione had out her wand* "tries to pick a fight, even after we moved aside for them to go through"

(( I would like to try the chat thing again, maybe it could be DADA class? I just don't know when we could..also we could go ahead and have little rps between charas, just in the common room, or something you know? I put up everyones aim sn so we'd know, well those that have one.. ))

//Draco

Friday, September 20, 2002 // 09:08 a.m.
*Gets Teary eyed when Cho is speaking to her* "Cho, don't worry its not your fault you like Harry. And its not my fault I like Harry as well,it just happens.I accept your apologie and NO I don't hate you! I was just a little upset.Next time if your going to kiss Harry, do it somewhere private;)..."

*Is on his way to Dumbledore do demand clarification on the... DOG subject, when he sees some students standing in front of each other, and they don't look like they're having a normal conversation. On closer look, he sees it's Draco with some other Slytherins and the Potter boy with his little Gryffindor friends.*.

"Well, well. What are a couple of students like you doing hanging around in the corridors on your first day of school?"

OOC: Come on everyone, be nice. We're supposed to have fun! :). Remus Lupin: you're at Hogwarts because you're going on a special mission for Dumbledore, please scroll down and read the earlier entries. Arabella Figg is the DADA teacher. Ginny: I'm sure you'll do great, everyone needs some practice RPing before they get the hang of it. Sorry if I was repeating information you already knew of. Oh, and anyone still in for a chat? We could do a class or something.

Thursday, September 19, 2002 // 09:25 p.m.
Ron stared at Hermione. It impressed him very much that she'd stand up to Draco again like this, but he didn't want her doing anything too rash, Malfoy knew some of the nastier spells that Hermione probably hadn't taken the time to learn. The meaningful look from Harry urged Ron to take some sort of action.

"Hermione..." Ron spoke quietly. But then he shook himself out of his worried state and put on a mask of confidence. "Don't bother with him, Hermione. He's not worth it."

//Ron

Thursday, September 19, 2002 // 10:03 p.m.
"Hermione! Let's go!"
*gives her the evil eye*
*looks at Ron to persuade him to do something*

OOC: Kay, seriously. Lupin and Ginny. Pay attention. First, learn how to RP Remus, and Ginny, just pay attention. I'm glad to know that you're using the html.
Sorry if you think I'm being mean.. but I'm just speaking for everyone else. I'm sure everyone agrees?

//Harry

Thursday, September 19, 2002 // 08:02 p.m.
((Sorry for the delay there...stupid school.))

"Ginny...I just wanted to apologize...I didn't know I would upset you by...you know...and I really am sorry for making you feel like this...if I can do anything to make it better, please tell me...can you ever forgive me? I don't want you to hate me..."

||Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaa everyone begins to fight. So I'll sit here and enjoy it then go SHUT UP WE ALL SUCK!!! Nah I'm jk. This is MY first RP...how am I doing? *looks around timidly*||

*Glares at Malfoy...Ron made to leave, but Hermione stood her ground.*
I'm not taking his garbage this year...all this Mudblood business...it doesn't bother me, but just his audacity is enough to make me smack him round the face again!!

"You know what Malfoy, I'm NOT going to move. I'm tired of your ignorance, and if you don't watch yourself I'm going to do something about it." *Pulls out wand* "I'm way ahead of you in all our classes. Don't you feel proud, a common Muggle-born girl, better than you at everything." *Stands back and waits for Malfoy's retort.*

||And WHAT is going on?! TWO defence teachers?! Me so confused :( P.S. Let me know how I'm doing on RP...any suggestions are welcome :)||

//Hermione

((OOC: oy, Lupin, really, read the other posts first. >_> I don't mean to seem rude, but have you RPed before? You use quotation marks - "" - to display things being said. You can use asterisks - ** - to imply actions, or just write it out in the third person pov. And Ginny, I suggest you try to slow down when you're reading, and if you're "in a rush" then don't reply until you have the time to do so with care. I know I probably sound like an overbearing, evil person here, but I know I'm used to being in well done RPs and I've talked to some of you and you agree. So let's try and do this right, peeps. *smirks and waits for someone to flame back*))

Ron glanced sideways at Draco as they slowly stepped by him. Ron looked at Hermione and Harry then, to see their reactions. If they studied his face, he knew they would be able to tell that he was still rather furius, the red shade of his ears giving it away.

Looking over, Draco thought he saw Blaise down the hall, though not sure..he just smiled at her, then turned back to the dream team

Draco just shook his head, smiling innocently he stepped aside holding out his hands towards the path "There you go your magesty.." his voice dripping with sarcasm, as he bit his cheek in anger.

Damn them, I just stand here minding my own buisness, they come up and are rude to ME and I still end up being the bad guy? ....just you wait Scar Face..

*Looks around* *sigh* "Im afraid my nosey side is getting the better of me." Parvati said as she got up silently and snuck out and on her way to the common room. She hoped that Harry, Hermione and Ron wouldnt see her because they may question her. She walked on her way to the common room and saw Ginny and Cho talking, she stood near. listening in, she felt terrible that she was doing this but she was so curios.

OOC:I know Im making Parvati a bit annoying...But im trying to get her a little more involved in whats currently going on heh

//Harry

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 05:21 p.m.
Ron glared over Harry's shoulder. "We'd just like to go to our common room. Is the idea of moving out of the way too complicated for you to understand, Malfoy?" he replied icily.

OOC: lol, Sirius, you're no more obsessed than the rest of us. XD

*sitting at the Teacher's Table, he watches Dumbledore stand up.*

It's strange to be back. I never expected to be back at Hogwarts in an official manner. And Sirius... Although sad reasons have brought us back to Hogwarts, it will be great to see him daily again.

//Remus Lupin (Martine)

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 11:40 p.m.
*Looking around the Great Hall, something black and hairy next to Arabella catches his eye.*

Oh no. Let this be a nightmare. Dumbledore didn't really invite that... DOG to stay at Hogwarts, didn't he? It's bad enough the werewolf is back.

*closes his eyes, in the hope the dog would have disappeared by the time he opens them.*

//Snape

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 11:31 p.m.
While the students leave the Great Hall, the teachers are still sitting at their table. Sirius stays next to Arabella.

I hope she doesn't mind pretending I'm her dog. After all, she was a teacher during the time the Marauders roamed Hogwarts.

OOC: "Ginny"? A repeat (you can also scroll down, if you want): Arabella Figg is the old lady who has a lot of cats in Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone. Harry has to stay there when the Dursleys leave for something, and at Dudley's birthday she breaks her leg, so he can go to the zoo with the Dursleys. That's when he finds out he can talk to snakes. There's a mention of an Arabella Figg near the end of Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire, she's mentioned as part of "the old crowd". Most people think she'll come back in the next book, maybe as the DADA teacher. So that's why she's in this RPG. (I really am obsessed, aren't I).

//Sirius

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 05:03 p.m.
((I don't know exactly how I'm going to fit Blaise into this..*shruggs* Well, I'll try)) Blaise walked up a flight of steps from the Great Hall. Her vision was dazed as she was wandering around, thinking about nothing in particular. The day--the week itself had been confusing and troublesome.

As she turned a corner, she looked up to find herself near the Gryfinndor Tower area. From a distance she saw Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle and some other Gryfinndors with a skeptical raised brow.

//Blaise

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 03:08 p.m.
OOC: Okay i might sound like a total DOrK but i still dont get the who arabella thingy. what is her last name?

*sees everyone looking at her so she quickly drys her tears and drinks some pumpkin juice* Hermoine and Ginny are walking out and Ginny heads for the stairs when Cho comes up and asks to speak to her. "Uhhh, Sure." says Ginny looking at Cho a bit worried and scared...

//Ginny

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 07:11 a.m.
*Goyle, Crabbe, and Draco were in a circle whispering about something that happened, a copy of the daily prophet between them. He just glared at them*

"Excuse me? We were here first, didn't know it was illegal to stand and talk. So the better question would be what do YOU want scar face?"

*they didn't move. Crabbe and Goyle were still looking at the newspaper, ignoring them*

//Draco

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 10:33 p.m.
"What do you want Malfoy?"

This couldn't possibly be a better start of the year Harry thought.

//Harry

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 08:45 p.m.
Ron was about to ask Harry about Ms. Figg when he stopped short. He narrowed his eyes at Malfoy, staying silent so he didn't say anything he might regret.

Hardly even arrived and we run into him again, he thought grimly.

//Ron

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 08:30 p.m.
*Sees Ginny getting up to leave after the feast with Hermione*

It's now or never...

"Hey-Hey Ginny! Can I have a word with you, please?"

//Cho

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 08:23 p.m.
"She used to babysit you?? Ooo I bet the Dursleys weren't happy about THAT...wait...they don't know, do they? Oh my gosh, it's Snuffles! In HERE!"

*Dumbledore does his shpeal, then it's time to go to bed. Hermione hears Ginny calling after her, but Cho reaches her first.*

"I'll meet you in the common room, Ginny!"

*Walks up to Gryffindor tower with Harry and Ron...they took a long route, for no particular reason. So they walk behind a tapestry, and find none other than Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle blocking their way.*

*grinning as she saw Snape smile back, she turned to look at the Gryffindor table. Hiding her laugh as a cough, she watched as Harry realized who she was, and waved at him*

"This should make for an interesting year.."

*she watched the doors open, nodding slightly to Dumbledore and the mutt*

//Arabella

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 08:22 p.m.
*Stares ahead at the new DaDa teacher*

*Grabs the front of Ron's robes*

"Ron... That was my babysitter when I was little.. she made me look at cakes. I hated her!"

How did she get here?

//Harry/Catherine

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 08:17 p.m.
*Draco glared around the great hall, he was in a foul mood. Looking up at the staff table he saw the lady, vaguely recalling his father saying somethign about the new DADA teacher this summer. If looks could kill the woman would be dead, though suprised when he saw Snape smile at her. Looking toward the gryffindor table, smirking when he saw the weasley girl pouting*

*mumbling to himself* "i wonder what that was about..I should have payed more attention to father's rambling..."

*he shrugged, putting it in the back og his mind, turning his attention to the door where Dumbledore had just walked in, followed by the dog from the train*

(( yupper, I e-mailed her but I'm guessing she either didn't get it, or doesn't want to do it anymore, so yea you can! ))

//Draco

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 06:58 p.m.
Ron glanced sideways at Hermione, Parvati, and Ginny. Girls always were so secretive. Ginny was making a big deal out of things anyways, he thought. He was happy to see that Harry might be able to make progress with Cho, and as much as he cared for his sister, Ron didn't fancy the idea of Harry and Ginny... well, together. It'd just be... disturbing.

Ron dished himself seconds and looked up at Harry. "Something dodgy about the new teacher, Harry?"

//Ron

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 01:32 a.m.
"Remus!"

*hugs his old friend, notices Dumbledore standing in the office*

*listens to Dumbledore".

"Great, Albus! Thank you so much, I'm so grateful I'll be able to actually be a godfather to Harry this year. And I'll follow you to the Great Hall, in animagus form of course".

*transforms and follows Dumbledore*

OOC: Jeni, glad you solved the Dumbledore issue! Is it ok if I (or anyone else) plays Remus if the person who is playing Remus now doesn't make an entry soon?

//Sirius

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 07:15 p.m.
*smiling as Sirius entered, waving his hand to the empty chair. A teapot was floating in the air, pouring tea in their cups*

"Glad you two could join us. Now as you know Voldemort had been gaining power. I have brought back Arabella to teach DADA, and have a special mission for Lupin, which will be explained in more detail at a later date. Now as for you Sirius, I know you would like to stay near Harry, and so I have arranged a room for you near the Gryffindor common room."

*taking a sip of his tea, he stood up and glanced around the room*

"You are free to roam the halls, but must stay in your Animagus form unless inside your room. To the students you will be Arabella's pet dog. Snape and the other teachers already know you are here, so you won't have to worry about them."

*nodding to himself, he put his cup down, with a swish of his wand, clearing the mess. He began walking towards the door*

"Now, if you'll excuse me..I must get to the Great Hall, as the sorting ceremony is about to begin. You are free to join me if you like.."

*not waiting for a reply, as he was already a bit late, he took the steps two at a time walking toward the great hall*

(( ooc: hope no one minded that I played him, at least for this post. Since no one is really playing him, he can be a "toss chara" and anyone can play him when he's needed, as long as he isn't already being played or they continue from where he last was. The same goes for other charas like Seamus, Goyle, Crabbe, Lavender ect. Oh yea! Also I'd like to welcome Sarah playing George, Arielle playing Parvati, and Chloe playing Ginny (( yes I know I'm late in this and I apologize for that, but better late than never I suppose right? )) I think that about wraps it up... OH YEA!! Thank you Charlotte for editing that!!

//Dumbledore

Wednesday, September 18, 2002 // 01:31 a.m.
*sees Arabella waving and smiling at him. He pulls his mouth into something that could only pass for a smile if you knew he was intending it. Shortly after, he sees Dumbledore entering the Great Hall and walking up to the teacher's table*

OOC: Still don't get the Valugo thing. Oh and... *tiny voice* It's Hermione, not Hermoine. Now I feel like I'm nitpicking ;).

//Snape

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 05:56 p.m.
*looks at ginny* "Its not that had to figure it out." She mutters silently, ginny was glancing at Harry on and off. ::I wonder who was with Harry?:: she thinks. *continues to try to eat her food* ::I bet its Cho Chang...At the Yule Ball last year he was always looking at her:: She thought sadly, Parvati felt bad but wasnt sure if her thoughts were correct so she decided not to speak.

//Parvati

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 04:19 p.m.
I was ever so nice to edit the other entries with FIGG instead of Valugo. You're welcome ^_^

//Charlotte

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 04:12 p.m.
*Barely eating anything, someone asks what's wrong.*

"What? Oh...nothing..I don't feel well..."

*Sees Ginny looking very upset at the Gryffindor table*

I shouldn't have done anything...I feel terrible. But how can I tell myself to just STOP liking Harry? AGH I suppose I should apologize to her...I wasn't trying to upset her, after all...

"I'll be a bit late to the common room tonight, I need to talk to someone after dinner..."

//Cho

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 04:08 p.m.
*Looks over at Ginny after Parvati points her out*

"Well..." *lowers her voice* "She has a thing...for someone...and she saw that someone, with someone...did that make sense? I don't think she would want me telling everyone, but she fancies someone, and I don't think he fancies her back...I'll talk to her later in our dormitory." *tries to change subject quickly* "Look! Harry, Ron! It's that old woman from the train! She IS our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher! Oooo Snape doesn't look too pleased...I hope he's not TOO awful this year...I wonder if she's any good? What is it, Harry?" *Asks the last question as Harry looks wide eyed at the woman who looks extremely familiar...*

//Hermione

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 03:27 p.m.
Parvati and Hermione were talking about their summers and laughing a bit about what the others had said about SPEW. "Im glad ive finaly gotten to speak to you!" Parvati laughed happily. She then stopped. She tapped Hermione's shoulder and motioned towards Ginny who's eyes were a bit teary and red. "She's seemed to be sad all throughout the train ride as well, do you know what happened to her?" Parvati asked Hermione

//Parvati

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 03:31 p.m.
||OOC: Thanks for confirming that Arabella:) It was confusing most of us:S||

*shakes head at Ron's comment*
*sees Ginny's eyes red*
"What's wrong Ginny?"

//Harry/Cath(erine)

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 07:08 a.m.
(( ooc: actually ya, it was meant to be Figg as the dada teacher..umm sorry? oh, and sorry for not posting in a week XD im actually supposed to be grounded from the comp, only reason I can post now is cus I snuck on one of the schools comps. ^^ ))

*Arabella saw Snape looking at her, smiling she waved. Turning back to look around the room at the different students, remembering when she attend here.*

That was so long ago, it's been too long..I can't wait for classes to start. Where is Dumbledore? The meeting with Sirius couldn't take this long...

//Arabella

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 12:56 p.m.
OOC:when i said Ms.Valugo i meant thats her last name. its Arabella Valugo. but i guess we can stick to Arabella Figg.sorry for the confusion.. IC: "Ron, please pass the yorkshire puddings." said Ginny as she was glancing at Harry. She was thinking about when Cho kissed Harry on the train. A tear ran down her face. Then she remembered she needed to talk to Hermoine about it, but Hermoine looked in deep converstation with Parvati. She'd just have to wait till they were in the Gryffindor's common room to say something. She started to choke a little as the roast beef went down. She struggled for a few seconds but it was fine after she drank some pumpkin juice.Ginny looked around at everyone. They all looked so happy but she felt like she was the only one who wasnt..

//Ginny

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 01:30 a.m.
OOC: So we all agree it's definitely Arabella Figg? Figg is the old lady with the cats, where Harry had to stay whenever the Dursleys left. At the end of Goblet Of Fire she's mentioned as part of "the old crowd", and JKR has confirmed it's the same Arabella Figg. So she will return. In a lot of fanfic she's named as the new DADA teacher. Sorry if you already knew :). I'm going back to edit Snape's entry now. Maybe everyone could do that? (just an idea).

//Martine (Sirius, Snape)

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 10:25 p.m.
OOC: Okay, yeah about that. Ginny seems to be getting messed up in her posts. I assumed that Valugo was Arabella's last name? Hm... yeah. >_> lol but Hermione, just the reaction to the spew comment I was hoping for XD

IC:
Ron just nodded, his mouth full, and he rolled his eyes at Hermione. He murmured something that sounded like 'girls' but with his mouth so stuffed, it could very well have been anything.

//Ron/Megz

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 00:54 a.m.
*Sitting at the teacher's table, he looks at the crowd*.

Now where is Albus? He'd better clear up why the Figg woman is sitting at this table. She can't be the new teacher for Defense Against The Dark Arts. She lives as a Muggle. Or does she?

*Seeing Harry Potter, he scowls.*

I wonder what kind of stupidities the Potter boy will come up with this time.

//Snape

Tuesday, September 17, 2002 // 12:47 a.m.
OOC: NOTE: PLEASE READ: would people -please- stop "losing" Snuffles/Sirius every time again? I keep posting I'm behind you, and you keep losing him! *wails*. So just so you know, Sirius is here to stay. No caves. Anyway. Another thing: what's with Valugo? Is she played by anyone? If not, can we stick by Arabella, as she IS being played by someone? *confused*.

*runs up some stairs, through some hallways, till he sees the gargoyle in front of the Headmaster's office. He quickly transforms*

"Sour Wands"

*enters the office, and sees Remus Lupin is already waiting there.*

//Sirius

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 08:23 p.m.
"Well we won't get our OFFICIAL Timetables until breakfast tomorrow, but I'd assume we have her Thursday, we've had Defence Against The Dark Arts on Thursday the last years...I do miss Lupin...except for that Boggart Professor McGonigall...*shudder* And no, Ron, I've given up with house elf rights. No one will listen anyway. And it's not spew, it's S.P.E.W. Hello Parvati! How was your summer?

*Takes a drink of pumpkin juice and decides to talk to Parvati*

//Hermione

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 05:19 p.m.
||OOC: I thought our DADA teacher was going to be Arabella.. she was the creepy lady on the bus right? Oh well, I'll go along||

"Who knows? We'll have to see.. Hermione.. when do we have Defence against the dark arts?"

*stuffs some yorkshire pudding in his mouth*

||MM.. Yorkshire Pudding!!||

//Harry

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 04:02 p.m.
*begins to pile food onto his plate, glancing at Ginny. She was being a tad more talkative than usual* "Well, Ms. Vuala-" *is interupted by a 'Valugo' from Hermione, then he continues* "Whatever, she can't be better than Lupin, right Harry?" he said, his words thick due to the large amount of food in his cheeks. "And Hermione, please say you aren't going to resurrect spew again?" He wiped his mouth and took a large swig of water.

//Ron

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 11:23 a.m.
Parvati was near where Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny all were. As they entered the great hall she sat down near them, but not too close. "This is going to be a hecktic year" she said softly. She overheard them talking about the new DADA teacher and began to wonder things "I wonder if she will stay for longer that a year, might she be evil? hmmm..." Parvati was deep in thought and then realized that they were now talking about house elves. "house elves freak me out a bit." She laughed quietly. She hoped nobody had heard her and then began to think about how hungry she was. *mmmm i cant wait untill we eat!* she thought

//Parvati

Monday, September 16, 2002 // 10:26 a.m.
Runs up behind Ron, Hermoine and Harry before they enter the great hall. "Hey guys, sorry Peeves wouldnt give Neville his toad back so I had to fight him." "Ohh hi Harry."said Ginny looking quite red. "I over heard Peeves talking about that lady in the train. She is our new defence against the dark arts, she's suposed to be the best around here." "But I don't know why she kept staring at me.." "Ohh well Im starving lets eat." Ginny says as she sits down beside Fred and George.Dumbeldore gave his speach as he did every year. "Ms.Figg, thats her name?What a weird name for a defense against the dark arts teacher" Hermoine has an uneasy look on her face when the plates piled high with food. "You're not still thinking about Dobby and the elves are you?" said Ginny.

//Ginny

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 11:13 p.m.
*sighs* "As long as they can give us a GOOD teacher who might be able to stay for longer than a year...or who won't get KILLED after a year. I swear, nothing surprises me around here anymore."

*The carriages come to a stop outside the castle, and the fifth years walk together to the front doors*

"I hope we can eat soon, I'm starving. Hey, do you think Dumbledore's done anything about the house elves?" *Sees the look of disbelief on Ron and Harry's faces* "I'm only joking...sheesh."

*The tall doors open and the students walk into the bright entrance hall, held up briefly by Peeves who had seized Trevor the Toad and was holding him inches out of Neville's reach*

"Ah, good old Hogwarts." *Sees a shaggy black dog run by in the distance...*

//Hermione

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 08:28 p.m.
"What?? I dont remember an old lady on the train.. I never saw her.. where?"

"She most likely is the Defence Against the Dark Arts Teacher"

//Harry

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 07:13 p.m.
*shakes his head in reply to Hermione's last question*

"No idea." A foolish grin spreads across his lips. "What if she's the new Defense Against the Dark Art teacher?" he says with a laugh.

//Ron

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 02:47 p.m.
||OOC: Lol, can people read the entries more closely? Haha, Cho left about 3 times and people were still saying bye to her...lol.||

"*Tsk tsk* I can't believe Malfoy still thinks he can bother me with that Mudblood business. Honestly, I mean I've got better marks than him in all my classes, and he still thinks he's above me."
*Ron makes his "I wonder what will happen this year" comment*

"I don't think that's something to joke about...but maybe it's better that we're being happy...otherwise it would be dead depressing."
*The horseless carriages start with a jolt towards the castle*
"What I'm confused about is why the train kept stopping...I heard Cho, she's right, only dark magic could have done that...but I don't want to think about that. I think I saw Ginny walking with Neville, but where's Snuffles? Do you think he'll hide in his mountain cave again this year? I hope he can stay out of trouble...and who was that creepy woman in the back of the train?"

//Hermione

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 03:31 p.m.
"You can't possibly think that's funny Ron"
*A grin appearing on Harry's face*

I wonder what will happ- hey.. where's Ginny and Sir- Snuffles?"

//Harry

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 01:30 p.m.
*walks beside Harry and Hermione toward the carriages. Things seemed to be a bit confusing, the train acting weird not helping the situation. His ears were still slightly red from anger at Malfoy for the mudblood comment, but he hadn't said anything since Ginny got there first, and Hermione kept saying how it didn't get to her. He glances around as the three of them get into a carriage*

"Well, at least we made it off the train. I wonder what kind of weird things will be happening this year..." he says to Harry and Hermione, with a small glint of excitement in his eyes and a bit of a smirk on his lips.

//Ron

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 01:21 p.m.
||OOC: Sorry for not posting in a while guys:)||

"Well, Cho, I have to go" *Looks at Hermione and Ron who are standing together talking, and Ginny walking away*

My friends. I'll see you soon"

//Harry

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 09:28 a.m.
*looks at Harry and Cho once more then walks to where the 5th years are heading*

"In my four years at hogwarts the train ride has never been like this..." She muttered to herself. "I do hope that nothing else strange happens this year..." She said to herself.

//Parvati

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 02:28 p.m.
Finally, we've arrived, safe and well.

*hops out the train, following the kids to the carriages.*

//Sirius

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 12:29 p.m.
"MALFOY DON'T YOU DARE CALL HERMOINE AND MUDBLOOD" Ginny stood up and was looking very angry. "Dark Magic" says someone from the hallway of the train. Ginny is looking very worried now.Suddenly she hears Hagrid's voice coming into the train. "Firs'years with me please." "What?, were here already?"says Ginny. Hermoine gives an unpleasant look.

//Ginny

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 08:12 a.m.
OOC: If certain characters don't post for a long time (Remus Lupin) or don't have players (Dumbledore, McGonagall), is it ok to presume things? Like *thinks of what Dumbledore said earlier today*? Cause I need some interaction, especially for Snape.

//Sirius/Martine

Saturday, September 14, 2002 // 09:08 p.m.
*Looks Slightly hurt, Cho obviously didnt want her around* She looks at Harry and Cho and feels slightly bad "Not even Lavender hangs around me that much anymore" Parvati whispers, she returns to her compartment and leans against the door, she decides to not even try to get into what was going on in the bathroom. "What could be making the train act like this though?" She says to herself silently. *sigh*

||OOC: Im assuming you dont Have a Lavender Brown yet, so I guess I will just pretend that Parvati & Lavender arent as tight anymore, untill somone decides to be Lavender||

//Parvati

Sunday, September 15, 2002 // 12:10 a.m.
*feels the train coming to a stop again, growls softly*.

This is defenitely not good.

*walks to Arabella, to see if she has some clue what's going on*

OOC: How did the chat go? If no one was there, are we going to reschedule it? I'm sorry I wasn't there, I came home about an hour ago, so I didn't make it. Anyway, chat or not, is the Hogwarts Express gonna arive or are we staying on the track for another 2 weeks? lol.

//Sirius

Saturday, September 14, 2002 // 04:21 p.m.
*Stumbles as the train jerks to a stop, then stands up straight*

"Malfoy, you have no reason to be here. Now go away, or you'll be Malfoy the Bouncing Ferret once again."

//Hermione

Saturday, September 14, 2002 // 04:17 p.m.
*Sees a Gryffindor walking towards her and Harry...*

As if this couldn't get worse, now Harry's date from the ball comes! *However, she was perfectly nice*

"Hello...You're Padma's sister, right? I don't know why the train is acting like this...only dark magic could do something like this..."

*Looks around uncomfortably/nervously.*

"Well, I'd better be off...see you all later."

//Cho

||OOC: Hey everyone Im new, I appologize if my post if a bit off, so far i see that they are on the train so I'll Just jump in:)||

Parvati who was half asleep in her compartment felt the train jerk to a stop "Geez, could they be anymore violent?" She mutters. She gets up and walks out, she see's Harry and Cho standing in the compartment diagnal from hers and in the back she see's a small crowd consisting of Ginny, Hermione and Draco around the bathroom. Parvati walks over to Harry and Cho "Um Hi..." She begins "Whats going on?" She asks trying not to sound nosey but seeming half annoyed at the same time.

//Parvati

Saturday, September 14, 2002 // 10:27 a.m.
*He just glared at them*
"I don't have to go away ickle weasel. Whats the matter you and boy wonder have a fight?"
*his trademark smirk in place, he turned back to Granger*

"If you must know Mudblood, I was trying to figure out what happened to the train.."
*feeling the train jerk again, he grabbed at the wall to keep his balance* "damn muggle contraption.."

//Draco

Saturday, September 14, 2002 // 04:44 p.m.
*stops for a second to look up* "Malfoy go away, please" Ginny says before sobbing some more. Suddenly the train stops with a jerk. "Bloddy'ell" someone says from the comparment...

//Ginny

Friday, September 13, 2002 // 10:26 p.m.
||OOC: This Saturday's not good for me :( Big huge stupid English project due Monday, I'll be gone from about 12 to 5 or 6...Sunday, anyone? I'd REALLY like to do it, but if I need to be subbed go ahead...I'll live :P||

*Opens the door to see Ginny crying, and is about to ask what she can do when another person walks up to her...it's Malfoy.*

"What do YOU want?"

//Julie-Hermione

Wednesday, September 11, 2002 // 10:37 a.m.
Ginny runs for the bathroom and hears Ron close behind her calling her name. She runs quicker. Opens the bathroom door and slams it. "My Life is ruined, I'll never have a chance with Harry now." Ginny said drying her eyes with her robes. As she drying her eyes she smells her robe, it reminds her of the burrow. "I wish I could turn back time and put a spell on Harry then he would actually like me." Ginny starts sobbing drastically. "I wanna go home." Suddenly theres a knock at the door, its Hermoine.

//Ginny

Wednesday, September 11, 2002 // 1:43 a.m.
Ignoring the children walking past her, she straightens out her robes, trying to get the wrinkles and dirt out.

She continues glaring around the sweaty compartment, praying to whatever gods existed they'd arrive soon and get off this stupid thing.

//Arabella

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 06:00 p.m.
Picking himself up from the floor, where he had fallen when the train stopped. He shook his head sleepily, looking around confused. He picked up his book, and layed it on the bench were he had been sleeping.

Walking out of his compartment hoping to find someone whom could tell him what the hell had been going on..

//Draco

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 04:56 p.m.
*Sees Ginny go running down the corridor, and starts to panic*

What have I done?! Why was she watching! Is this any of her business?! Oh my god, is she going to tell people??

*Looks a bit surprised that Ron changed the subject, to Hermione's displeasure, to Quidditch...*
"Erm...yes, I'm going to be seeking Quidditch. I mean PLAYING Quidditch, I'm a SEEKER. Yeah, that's right...erm, I have to go now...need to..erm, look over summer homework...yeah...see you later!"

I am so bloody stupid! Why did I have to go and kiss Harry? Erg, he'll HATE me now! And what am I supposed to do about Ginny? I wasn't trying to make her angry!

*Slumps down in another compartment with talkative girls from Ravenclaw, looking thoroughly depressed.*

//Cho

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 04:31 p.m.
*hurries down the aisle just a bit then stops when he sees Ginny doesn't reply to his calls. He turn around and walk back over to Harry, rolling his eyes*

"Sorry, she can be so dumb at times." He can see that it's a very uncomfortable moment for both Harry and Cho, and glances at Hermione.

"Cho, you're going to be on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team again this year, right?" he asked abruptly, trying to change the subject for them.

//Ron

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 04:19 p.m.
*Oh crap she kissed me.. now what am I supposed to do?*
*Ginny runs by crying*

"I wonder what that was about." *looks at Cho, then looks down because his face turns red*

*Ron runs past to look for Ginny*

//Harry

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 06:35 p.m.
*Still pulling at Harry's robe, he suddenly feels the train beginning to move again. He leaves a sigh of relief pass his lips*.

I wonder what that was about. Arabella didn't look too comfortable either.

//Sirius

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 11:16 a.m.
"Ohh Hermoine my summer was wonderfull. Charlie came down for the summer. He told us stories about the dragons. It was so enchanting. Ive been trying to find you because I need to talk to you about something. Privately, maybe it should wait till we get to the castle. Since this stupid train isnt moving. Geez we're at least an hour away from the castle." Ginnys still looking red. Espically when Cho asks to speak to Harry alone. Ginny and Hermoine being nosey where listening to what Cho and Harry were saying. When Cho kissed Harry, Ginny got a bit teary eyed and started crying. She slamed open the comparment door and ran past Harry to the bathroom. Harry looked quite puzzled and so did Hermoine. "Ginny" they all yelled. She wasnt listening her heard was in the hands....

//Ginny

Monday, September 9, 2002 // 10:29 p.m.
*Sees a great black dog bite a chunk of Harry's robes, and give Harry a warning look.*

A warning look? Don't be stupid, Cho, it's a DOG.

"Erm...I meant to tell you this before, but, I just couldn't. I wanted to thank you...I know you didn't really like the idea of me and Cedric, and I'm not trying to make you feel bad or anything, but it was very noble of you to do that, bringing him back and everything. And you're so brave...I guess I just wanted you to know that I respect you very much, and thank you..."

*Looks uncomfortable for a second, then kisses Harry on the cheek and looks down, turning scarlet.*

//Cho

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 11:44 a.m.
*looks nervously around him when the train stops*

The Hogwarts Express having technical difficulties? I don't trust this.

*takes Harry's robe between his teeth, and pulls to alert him*

He'd better keep his hormones under control, until we reach the castle

OOC: Wheee, action! I'm better now, and all ready for the chat. This Saturday, then? Same time? And welcome to all the new people! :).

//Sirius

Monday, September 9, 2002 // 06:47 p.m.
"Umm.. sure..."

*looks at Ron*

What could she possibly want? I hope it's not about Cedric or anything.. just make me feel even more guilty.

//Harry

Monday, September 9, 2002 // 05:21 p.m.
Alright, Cho, just go in and talk to him. Just go!

*Slides back the door to Harry's compartment, and sees Hermione and Ginny in there along with Ron and Harry...she feels a bit embarrassed, as she heard a rumour that Ginny had once been (and could still be) interested in Harry.*
She's a year younger than him...she can have him to herself when I leave Hogwarts!

"Ahem... Harry? Could I possibly talk to you...? Erm, outside, please?"
Why do I have to turn red now??

*Ginny looks down darkly and Hermione looks confused...Cho is wishing for the best...*

//Cho

Monday, September 9, 2002 // 05:16 p.m.
*Looks up as Ginny comes running in*

"Hello, Ginny. How was your summer? Why have you been looking for me?"

*Is cut short as Cho opens the compartment door, and Ginny blushes scarlet and looks downwards...*

//Hermione

Watching the younest Weasley, her eyes barely visible beneath the hood of her cloak. Feeling someone watching her she looks at the black mutt, nodding slightly. Feeling the train jolt to a stop, she grabbed onto the handle of the door, trying to keep from falling.

(( OOC: the train stopping can just be a false alarm, or if ya'll want they reached the school..? I hope your feeling better? Maybe this Saturday then? ))

*Spots Hermoine sitting with her Advanced Transiguration book* Ginny runs over just nearly missing the lady with the trolley. She suddenly gets pushed back as the train takes off. Holding on to the doors she makes her way to where Hermoine is sitting. "Hermoine, finnaly ive been looking for you all over" Just then a knock at the comparment door. Ginny looks weirdly at the door and opens it. Its Cho Chang. Ginny gets quite red as she knows Harry has liked Cho for quite some time. OOC: umm i dont have AIM i only have msn messanger so i couldnt take part in the chat anyway. sorry guy!:(

//Ginny

Sunday, September 8, 2002 // 05:49 p.m.
*Hears someone calling her name*

"Ginny!" Yay! Someone who won't talk about Quidditch non stop!

*Sees Ginny pick up Neville's toad then walk away, but look suspiciously at someone in the back...Hermione turns and sees an elderly woman who looks like she's seen it all. A smell of cats reaches Hermione...* Wonder who that is? Oh well...I do hope Ginny comes back, I can't stand this long trip with nothing to talk about but Quidditch!

*Pulls out Advanced Transiguration just in case the Quidditch talk gets out of hand and she needs a distraction...*

||OOC: Should we reschedule the chat? As it's Sunday now, and I have school, the next available time would be next week. As it is already September 8, should we just have little conversations here then get to the castle already? This is one long train trip! --Julie (Spaztastic984)||

//Hermione

Tuesday, September 10, 2002 // 12:00 a.m.
*looks at a woman in the back of the train, who is staring at Ginny Weasley at the moment*

Well, well! If that isn't old Arabella Figg! Figures Dumbledore should ask her to come to Hogwarts.

OOC: I'm sorry I wasn't at the chat, I have the flu and I was sleeping at that moment :(. Are we picking a new date? I er... promise to show up. Really. Btw, has the train left yet?!

//Sirius

Sunday, September 8, 2002 // 05:50 p.m.
"Hermoine" shouts Ginny as she spots her sitting with Harry and Ron in their own comparment. "There you are!, I've been looking for you everyw." Just then they all turned around to hear a 'ribbit ribbit'. Ginny shouts "TREVOR". She grabs the frog and runs away in search of Neville. She finnaly finds Neville, but as shes turning she sees someone staring at her from a comparment from the back of the train. "I wonder who that could be?...."

//Ginny

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 01:10 p.m.
Well, 1:00 central time has come and gone...so we should either do it another day or all 10000 people need to come online NOW. *waits...* didn't happen. I have to leave, so if for some reason EVERYbody is on when I'm not, go ahead and sub me. *sighs* Later

//Julie

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 12:53 p.m.
OOC: Sorry about that entry, I pushed enter by mistake.

"Well, I don't know, but he's bound to leave by next year, or she. I miss Lupin. Don't you?"

//Harry

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 12:53 p.m.


//Harry

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 11:55 a.m.
Ron smirked and rolled his eyes slightly at Hermione. Glancing around at all the full compartments, he finally turned into one and sat down next to the window. As Harry and Hermione followed him in, he gazed out the window and his ears reddened slightly as he sees his mother waving madly at him from the platform. He gave her a tiny wave in return and sunk back into his seat.

"So..." he thought for a moment. "I wonder who our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher will be..."

//Ron

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 11:37 a.m.
*Catches up to Ron and Harry, a bit breathless*

"Erg, sorry about that. Neville's lost his toad again. I reckon he'd lose his head if it wasn't attached!"
*follows Ron and Harry*
"Have you found a compartment? Let's hurry, I need to look over all my books and make sure I haven't left anything out of my notes."

//Hermione

Saturday, September 7, 2002 // 06:11 p.m.
*peers around the corner at ron and harry's compartment, hopeing to hear what there saying* "Hi Harry" says Ginny as she jumps in front of thier door. Harry and Ron dont even bother looking up. Ginny storms off dissapointed looking for Hermoine. "Where is she anyway?" [OOC]hey guys im new to this blog. and ill be playing ginny. as you might of already guessed. lol okay so have fun!

//ginny

Saturday, September 10, 2002 // 09:25 a.m.

Friday, September 6, 2002 // 10:39 p.m.
"Ron, what were you gonna say?"
Follows Ron

"Where's Hermione anyway?"

//Harry

Friday, September 6, 2002 // 08:58 p.m.
Ron's grin faded. "Harry! It wasn't your fault! Come on, she just asked you how you were, you could have just tried talking nicely with her.... Obviously, she doesn't blame you, neither does anyone else..." Ron paused then sighed heavily. He looked as if he was about to say something else, then stopped. "Let's go find seats..." he murmured.

OOC: er, what date would the chat be?

//Ron

Thursday, September 5, 2002 // 10:18 p.m.
*Settling in the seat, the book his father gave him setting on his lap, he sighed and leaned his head against the window. Glancing out, he saw a black dog jump onto the train.*

"Wonder what the hell that was about, no one at Hogwarts has a dog...at least not that I know of. Must ask Blaise or Millicent about that later..doubt Crabbe or Goyle would know..speaking of them, where are they..?"

*storing the bit of information for later, he shrugged it off. Turning away from the window he picked up the book and began to read*

(( WEEE XD anyone else hyper? Sorry, I just went through a whole bag of pixi stix, am listenign to Jack Off Jill, and read a parody of Rocky Horror with Draco in a dress *drool* and Snape in fishnets *smirk*. Okie I'm done rambling..see ya'll Sat ))

//Draco

Thursday, September 5, 2002 // 10:10 p.m.
Okie everyone :) thanks for bearing with me about the chat. It will be at 2PM eastern (1 PM Central, 12 PM Pacific, and about 8-9 in the Netherlands, I think, if I looked at the time map right.. )!
I'd like for every one to be there, so if anyone can't make it let me know, and maybe we can work something out... It's going to take place in an aim chatroom, and we'll just be roleplaying like normal, except don't haveta wait for a day or so for a reply.
Any questions or ideas my aim is littleplaygerl, I'm on almost all the time after school gets out at 4. Thanks Bunches!!

"You do know I hate you Ron, right? I hate you so much.. I said the wrong thing, because her damn boyfriend died because of me. Blimey, Ron.

//Harry

Friday, September 6, 2002 // 00:38 a.m.
*Walks into the dungeons, his luggage levitating behind him. After putting everything in the right place with one single charm, he sets himself behind his desk, sighing.*.

Yet another year at Hogwarts. I wonder what kind of incompetent git Dumbledore hired this time for Defense of the Dark Arts.

//Snape

Friday, September 6, 2002 // 00:36 a.m.
*runs after Ron, Harry and Hermione"

Wait a minute, what do you mean "goodbye"? How am I supposed to come to Hogwarts if not by train?"

*jumps in the train, just before it takes off.*

//Sirius

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 // 07:43 p.m.
*Looks around uncomfortably*

"Erm...my summer was nice. Got a lot of work done..."

*Sees Ron prodding Harry in the back to say something*

"Well, I'd better get a compartment before they're all full up. I'll see you in the corridors or something at school!"

Stupid, stupid, STUPID! Why do I feel like this? I'm such a foolish girl. Harry is famous, he would never even turn a head at me if I wasn't on the Quidditch team. Look at me, standing here like a prat!

"See you later!"

//Cho

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 // 04:25 p.m.
*Ron smirked and grabbed the back of Harry's collar, not letting him run away. The red-head then looks at Cho*

"Come on, Harry, she asked how you were," said Ron as he spun Harry around to face Cho again, a bit of a grin of his face as Ron saw Harry redden.

OOC: hehe I like the slash couplings in fics, but in the books I'd go for Ron/Hermione and Harry/Cho. Doesn't matter much to me though. XD

//Ronnie-kins

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 // 03:45 p.m.
"Uh.. hi Cho, how was your summer?"

Err.. damnit.. shouldn't have said that. I'm responsible for her boyfriend dying. I better go before I do any more damage

"We better go, eh Ron"

*Starts walking away fast*

//Harry

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 10:57 p.m.
*Is about to sit down in a compartment, then sees a tall red headed boy walking towards her.*
Isn't that Ron Weasley? Isn't he one of Harry's best friends? *kicks self* Why can't I stop reminding myself about Harry? He'll hate me after what happened last year!
*Is almost knocked down as Neville comes rolling down the corridor into the door next to her...Ron and Harry are quick to follow.*

"Erm...hello, Harry...How are you?"

//Cho

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 10:55 p.m.
*looks around as Harry and Ron walk towards the train*

"Erm...send an owl, we'll see what we can do...and we'll send food once we get up to the castle! Bye!"

*And she joins Harry and Ron onto the train, where she is briefly held up by a crowd around Neville, who had lost his toad and was searching on all fours for it, taking up the whole corridor.*

//Hermione

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 10:49 p.m.
{{I'm into Harry/Cho, but I like Harry/Draco too... my biggest ship is R/H. GO R/H! Also, I added everyone, but my AIM is RacingHeartbeats}}

"Bye Snuffles, send me an owl!"

*Gets dragged along with Ron*

//Harry

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 09:48 p.m.
*looks down at Sirius eating intently, then over to Hermione*

"I don't think Snuffles is going to talk in a public place, Hermione. But anyways, we've got to go!"

*Ron grabs Harry's arm and tugs him toward the train, glancing at Sirius, not sure if the dog should come or not*

OOC: My AIM s/n is Aerisgal, if you need it. I'd love to chat sometime. I'm the US Central timezone, btw.

//Ron

Tuesday, September 3, 2002 // 00:33 a.m.
*takes the offered bread eagerly*.

Oh this is good... haven't eaten in days

*looks intently at Hermione, trying to remind her to call him Snuffles*.

OOC: I do live in the Netherlands, how'd you know Julie? :). I'm online late regularly to catch up with my friends in the USA, so I wouldn't mind a late chat. Also, welcome, Cho! Harry/Cho? *looks nervous*. Any other -H/D- shippers here? ;).

//Sirius

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 04:19 p.m.
//Hey everybody :) Now lets see if this Harry-Cho thing can get a little more interesting! ;)-Char//

*Looks around sadly for someone she knows.* I do wish Cedric was here...oh well. Maybe I can get to know Harry better this year? He did seem put off last year when I went to the ball with Cedric...Oh well. *Breaks off thinking as a group of her friends come running towards her gabbing about some Slytherins falling in marbles and some Gryffindors talking to a dog. As they pass through the barrier onto platform 9 3/4 Cho gets a glimpse of Harry peeking around a barrier. She smiles politely and bustles off onto the train, feeling herself go red...*

//Cho

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 01:50 p.m.
OOC: My sn is ChelsQuill. :) IM me whenever you get the time, or announce it.

*thoughts clouded her vision for a moment. Blaise was thinking about where she could have seen that dog. she continued to watch the barrier that they had hid behind*

Oh yes.. wasn't there a picture in mother's drawer?

*turning away, she sat down in a train compartment. Indeed, she had seen the picture.. she would just have to send Mother an owl*

//Blaise

Sunday, September 1, 2002 // 10:59 p.m.
OOC:Alrighty then! My sn is Spaztastic984 so someone IM me and let me know when, and then everything is cool. We just need to make sure we're online at the same time...I live in the states and I know Sirius (too lazy to go look up your name sorry!) lives in the Netherlands, so we need a time we can all be here...everybody email me or IM me with when you can ASAP. Merci :) P.S. Everyone call me Charlotte! lol it's so much better than Julie. Buh.

*nudges Ron* "Give him some of the food your Mum packed you! I'll buy you lunch from the trolley, but now we have to hurry. Sirius, where are you going to go and how are you going to get there?"

*Crookshanks jumps down to greet his old friend Padfoot.*
Oh great, now let's all get comfortable and miss our train! Oh Professor McGonigall would be so angry!

//Julie/Hermione

Sunday, September 1, 2002 // 11:33 p.m.
(( ooc: yes, I'd like to do that. ^_^ Maybe this Friday or Saturday? ))

//Jeni

Monday, September 2, 2002 // 00:04 a.m.
Oh blimey, maybe I should have warned them before just showing up at the platform. Hope they got some food though. Is that corned beef I'm smelling?

*wags tail and tries to look like a normal dog*

OOC: welcome, "Harry"! :). Julie, my AIM s/n is martinetsom.

//Sirius

Sunday, September 1, 2002 // 12:18 p.m.
||OOC: As it is now officially September 1, I think it's time to get on with this. Jeni, are we going to do a chatroom RP? If so everyone can send their screen names to me...I have your's Jeni so I'll IM you eventually.--Julie||

"It's getting late, we'll miss the train!"

//Hermione

Saturday, August 31, 2002 // 05:30 p.m.
"Shhh! Hermione! It's okay! I'm sure Sirius has a perfect explanation for being here" *stares at Sirius*

//Harry

Saturday, August 31, 2002 // 01:46 p.m.
||OOC:Welcome new people!||

*gasps at the huge black dog* "Snuffles!"

*pulls Harry Ron and the dog behind a barrier so they are not seen.*

"Siri-Snuffles! What are you doing here?! Are you alright? Did anyone see you?"

*looks around cautiously making sure no one can see or hear them*

//Hermione

Saturday, August 31, 2002 // 11:06 a.m.
|||OOC: Hey People! I'm new, (of course) seems like you guys have been waiting for Harry... I'm just gonna wait for the right time to post. I'm just letting you all know I'm here|||

//Harry

Thursday, August 29, 2002 // 11:32 p.m.
*Looks around, sees Draco and Blaise in the train*.

Isn't that Lucius Malfoy's son? Have to look out for that one.

OOC: Maybe someone could play Harry as well as her/his own character until we have a new Harry? We need some sparks between the Gryffindors and Slytherins! :). Megz, welcome aboard!

//Sirius

Thursday, August 22, 2002 // 04:32 p.m.
*gets up, dusting himself off, and glares at the retreating backs of the trio* No Granger, You will be wanting to watch yourself this year. You have no idea what is going to happen..((and neither do I ^^;; I just wanted to say that))

*he violently kicks the marbles and sighs as a little girl trips over them, mumbling under his breath. He grabs his trolley and boards the train, heading to the last compartment*

((ooc: oi, sorry bout that! I hope it does too...and the person playing Harry (melissa) had to quit. I know someone who might be able to play Harry, I just haveta ask him about it.))

//Draco

Thursday, August 29, 2002 // 02:42 p.m.
*she groaned, picking up the Galleons that had spilled from the olive green dresses pocket. Standing up, she wiped up dust and grime that was on it, and put her hair back it place. From there, she put her luggage away, and moved toward the train's entrance*

I feel sorry for Slytherin's.. so misunderstood

*what caught her attention was a black dog next to Ron, Harry and Hermione. Stopping in her tracks, she stared for a moment, trying to figure out something..*

Why does that dog seem so oddly familiar?

//Blaise

Thursday, August 29, 2002 // 12:50 p.m.
*right before he was about to step onto the train, Ron sees Sirius bound over, and when the dog barked, Ron rolled his eyes slightly*

"I thought you didn't want attention drawn to you"

*he said this in a hushed voice to the dog, but was smirking. It was good to see Sirius was still free from the authorities*

OOC: er, well, 'ello! I'm your new Ronnie-kins. I hope this works out for all of us. And on the character page? you have my name down as Melz instead of Megz. ^___^ Just thought I'd say so.

//Ron

Thursday, August 29, 2002 // 06:03 a.m.
*Runs through the big hall of King's Cross, trying to look as unsuspiciously as a huge, hairy, black dog can. Stops in front of the wall between platforms 9 and 10. Looks around to see if someone is watching him, before running straight through the wall.*

That was easy so far. I'm glad I was able to go through, even in non human form. Now where the heck is Harry?"

*Spots Harry standing with Ron and Hermione, ready to board the train. Runs to Harry and licks his hand.*

"Arf!"

OOC: sorry for the late update, I don't have internet access on my own computer at the moment, so I can't get online much. Hope that gets solved soon. Now where's Harry?!

//Sirius

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 // 02:07 p.m.
*Looks nervously at Ron, then quicky adverts her eyes so as not to hint to Malfoy what's going on...*

"He's not my boyfriend. And Harry is more talented in anything than you'll ever be. Oh, and here comes your little girlfriend, Blaise, to save the day."

*Puts hand on her wand, knowing what could happen after this comment...however, before Malfoy could respond, he took several steps towards her, right onto the marbles on the floor. Hermione quickly dives behind a barrier as Malfoy skids and falls over the marbles, sparks shooting out of his wand. Blaise runs to help him, stupidly tripping herself over the marbles. Harry, Ron, and Hermione double over laughing while Malfoy struggles to get to his feet, he pulls on Blaise's hair to steady himself, making both her and him overbalance and topple over again.*

"You'll want to watch yourself this year Malfoy. And your feet, for that matter."
*And Harry, Ron, and Hermione board walk to the train, congratulating each other on the way.*

//Hermione

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 // 12:10 p.m.
*Walks toward the barrier of Platform 9 3/4, and hastily threw it, her blue-grey eyes scanning the crowd around the scarlet train for anyone familar, pulling the familar trolley cart behind her*

Oh great, there's the Mudblood, the Weasel.. and Draco Malfoy

*Folding her arms on her stomach, she walked behind Weasley, looking at his best self-defense.. marbles*

"Great Defense.. I'm sure marbles is going to really hurt him"

//Blaise

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 // 11:50 a.m.
*Sees Hermione looking at him and grins, putting a finger to his lip, telling her to be quiet.*

This is too easy, you should be more careful Malfoy

*he bends down and dumps out the bag of marbles, laughing silently as they head towards Malfoy, who was too busy taunting Hermione to notice the little clanking sounds*

//Ron

Tuesday, August 27, 2002 // 11:40 a.m.
"Aww...whats the matter with the poor mudblood? Loose you boyfriend and scarface did you?"

*grabs his wand in his pocket, ready to attack should she decide to try anything*

They must be up to something, you never see one without the other unless they're fighting

//Draco

Sunday, August 25, 2002 // 09:28 p.m.
||OOC: If people don't start updating SOON, I'm going to start updating FOR them! Grar! :)--Julie||

*looks around* My goodness, I cannot believe I've LOST them! Oh no...here comes Malfoy. I hope he doesn't make me angry...I'll be too tempted to just pull out my wand and curse him on the spot. *Sees Ron behind a platform sign, preparing to throw marbles at Malfoy's feet...imagining that result, I stand back and watch...*

//Hermione

Sunday, August 25, 2002 // 10:41 a.m.
*Walks up tot he station, glaring at everyone who dares look in his direction, tugging a trolley cart behind him with his owl and trunks*

Stupid muggles, it's riddiculus what we have to get through just to get on the train. If it weren't for them I could just levitate this stuff and not have to pull it around!

*Looking around he doesn't see anyone he recognizes* Well...except that mudblood Granger. Crabbe and Goyle should be here by now...oh well, might as well go cause some trouble...

*starts heading in that direction..*

//Draco

Saturday, August 24, 2002 // 03:20 p.m.
Whew, that was easier than I thought. The Dursleys don't like my parents because of me, but at least they were civil towards each other.

*Approaches King's Cross station with trunk, books, and Crookshanks, looking for a trolley cart.*

Now where have Harry and Ron got off to? I do hope we don't have any trouble with Malfoy this year. *sigh* I suppose I should find Harry and Ron so we can get a compartment on the train!

//Hermione

Tuesday, August 20, 2002 // 03:18 p.m.
Ok..since no one seems to know what happened to all the entries..I guess we'll have to start over? Lets start the rp back up on Saturday the 24. We will rp it as sept 1st and everyone is at platform 9 & 3/4, no diary or letter things every entry, actually have the charas interact with eachother. umm..I think thats about it..I'm going to try and fine a new person to play Ron, if anyone knows someone who might be interested..and get some more people to play other charas.
