Joshua walked through the paintings opening. He felt nervous, yet a great deal more excited. His knees shook, and his spine trembled. He looked around the room, finding not much more then a few people seated, still un-packing their things. Most of the people must have been attending the feast. He hastily ran into his room, and threw down his belongings. He grabbed a small bag of "Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans" and shoved a few in his mouth. He then proceeded to shove the remainders into his pocket. Running towards the exit, he burst through just as some other students had been entering. One fell down from the sudden excitement, and Joshua simply waved his hand and mouthed the words "sorry" as he ran down the stairs, his robe tail flailing behind him.
He arrived in the Great Hall, and sat down at the Gryffindor table. He gazed back and forth, eyeing the people around him. Hopefully someone would look in his direction, because Joshua surely didn't plan to but in.

[I'm sorry to say, I'll have to temporarily drop out. If anyone is willing to play Ce'Nedra, fill free to do so.]

Chris sat at his usual spot at the Ravenclaw table. It had been deemed his spot after the last person who'd challenged him had become a slug for a whole month. Funny how ploymorphing one opponenet would scare away all the others, Chris thought as he reread his notes from last year. He laughed inwardly, what a fool he'd been then (he vaguely remembered thinking the same thing for the last four years), he'd read so much over the summer, it was quite pathetic how little he'd known... and was even more pathetic that he was at the head of his tower. The standards at this school were quite low indeed.
Chris set down his book and looked at thef ood. He frowned, nothing so simple as a taco. Having muggle parents got you to appreciate simple food. Oh well, he'd eat later. He sat back and waited for something interesting to happen.

K.C. had already thrown her bags into her room and started on her way down to the feast. She found the gryffindor table and sat in an empty seat. It was next to a boy that seemed very quiet and sort of just starring around. "Ummm...hi...." K.C. said to the boy and waited for a reply.

"Hey." Joshua said quite plainly. In reality he felt his heart would explode any second now. "I'm Joshua, you?" He tried to hold back the sweat that began to poar down the sides of his head. He swallowed hard, and waited reluctantly for an answer.

"aaah latelatelate laaaaaaate!" Squealed Alexia as she raced down the corridor to the great hall. Just as the doors approached she skidded to a stop. smiling weekly at the other students who were filing in she straitened her roab and proceeded to do so herself. Without looking she sat down at the Gryffindor table attempting to catch a glance at the teachers.
The one or two she could see were particularly scary looking. Unable to keep her attention focused she looked across the table at the girl and boy who seemed to be first years like her. Not noticing that they were in the middle of introductions she spoke
"Hey you two! Who do you think the new DeffenseAgainsttheDarkArts Teacher is gona be huh?"

Joshua's head swivled towards the girl that approached them. He didn't want to be rude, but he answered the new girl.
Well, I heard it's a pretty unlucky spot. I'm curious to find out who is.."

::Boudicea sat at the Slytherin feast table, pouring daintily over her meal. As usual she was alone in her place at the table. Under her seat was her dog, Black Crow, snoozing. He was a purebred rottweiler, and firecely guarded her with his life, but sweet as fresh butter to those he knew. She leaned down and scratched his head. He sleepily wagged his tail and wimpered. She crossed her left leg over her right and underneath her school robes were knee-high black boots that zipped up the back. Her black hair was pulled into a long, shining braid that hung down to the floor from where she was sitting, and her bangs fell into her eyes and hung like little daggers. Her eyes were glaringly green under the bangs. She wore a look of such uppitiness and mystique it was no wonder she had no close friends and all the boys tripped all over themselves to ask her out. But she was never lonely and she never wanted companionship. Black Crow was all she needed. She tossed him a few scraps of meat and he dove at them. She moved on to dessert and played with the salt and peper cellars, making them dance and transfiguring pork chops back into tiny, living pigs. They skittered across the table and upset goblets of pumpkin juice squealing and scaring some of the girls, including Pansy Parkinson, whom Boudicea hated. She was always hanging off that little slime Draco Malfoy. He was such an arrogant little prat, the very worst kind of pure-blood wizard. They made all the rest look bad, and it was pure-bloods like Malfoy that gave all of them a bad name. Sytherin house as well. All dark wizards were said to be students of Slytherin house. Boudicea smiled. She would see to that misconception.::

((I'll RP Dumbledore, too.))

::Albus Dumbledore rose from his seat and a hush fell over the Great Hall.::

My dear students, welcome to another year at Hogwarts. While we all gorge ourselves on yet another excellent feast, let me make the standard announcements now so you won't have to deal with them later. ::He cleared his throat.:: To all first years, and a few of our stubborn older students, the forest on the grounds is absolutely forbidden to all. Next, Mr Filch has included this year Humming Hackysacks on his list of banned items. You may view the full list papering the walls of Mr filch's office. Let me also remind you that no magic is allowed in the corridors between classes. And let me introduce to you our new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Professor Wilde, whom looks like our most resilient teacher for this subject yet.

::A young-looking woman waved enthusiastically from the teacher's table. She had light blond hair neatly pulled back into a bun. She was dressed in bright green robes and her eyes were grey. On her shoulder was a big, golden coloured owl. She smiled brightly and surveyed the room. Looks like a fine bunch of students! ::She thought.::

Enjoy your year at Hogwarts. Sleep well! Please follow a house prefect or our new Head Boy and Girl to your dormitories. ::Dumbledore sat back down and opened a bag of his favourite sweet to round off his meal.::

After pausing to listen to dumbledore speak Alexia continued "Oh me too! This year is such an exiting year to be a first year.. what with" Alexia paused and lowered her voice "You-Know-Who back in power!" Alexia looked around as if the very mention of his name might bring his wrath upon her. "Anyway my name is Alexia Dragonbane and I'm so exited to be here and in Gyffindor! It's something of a family tradition except for my great aunt Penelope.. our families black sheep, she was in ravenclaw.. They used call her crazy aunt Penelope. " Alexia paused for a moment.. "Of wait they still do." She shrugged "anyway What was your name again?"

[I'm allowed back on.]

Ce'Nedra sat at the Gryfindor table, picking at the food. Her firey red hair was twisted and twirled into complex, and just near impossible, patterns. Some of the the twisted and twirled strands formed a butterfly, which let the firey curls fall down on to her shoulders, others linked flowers onto the butterfly.

Ce'Nedra crossed her legs, and smoothed out the uniform skirt with graceful fingers. She picked up the goblet of juice, and took a tiny sip. She smiled, her lavender eyes laughing.

She brushed a stray curl which escaped the butterfly design.

((Jess, that was a wicked good post of Dumbledore! EXTREMELY realistic!))

"My name is Joshua. Joshua Falcontoe." He smiled at the two girls next to him, then gazed around the room curiously. His heart flipped, and fell back down with a thump. The one and only Harry Potter had sat down not far from him. He gazed at the boy in awe, his mouth hanging open slightly.
"Look, it's him!" He whispered to the girls, a large grin stuck onto his face. He realized he was being fanatic, and he haulted his excited interior. He grabbed a piece of Pumpkin bread, and shoved it into his mouth. It's glazed topping sent his tastebuds into glorious pleasure.
"WOW! These are really good!!" He threw another piece into his mouth.

"Hmph, maybe this teacher will last more than a full year," Chris muttered this to nobody in particular, and a couple of first years exchanged worried glances. He looked at them. "Don't worry, nothing ever happens to the students, 'cept for Cedric, it's just the Defense teachers that always get fired, or killed or..." He trailed off, seeing as they were not in any way reassured. He instead looked over at Boudicea Woodstern, and felt a slight flutter in his still empty stomach. She was beautiful, talented, and could form a coherent sentence with minimal effort, the three things he looked for in a member of the opposite sex! Of course, she was a year older than him, and she was in Slytherin, but still. At least she wasn't a complete moron like Parkinson, or a little prick like Malfoy (neither of whom had any love for Chris either, especially since the Christmas card incident a year back) He sighed longingly, who knew, maybe this year he'd work up the courage.

The boy answered K.C. and before she got a chance to say anything another girl came over and started a conversation with them. K.C. wasn't mad though she was happy to meet another person in their first year. "Well it's nice to meet you both...I'm K.C. Calican" K.C. introduced herself. Then Joshua pointed out harry potter and K.C. went pink from excitment. "I can't beileve it's him!!" Then the boy next to her started shoving bread into his mouth and it made K.C. giggle quietly but just loud enough for the surrounding people to hear. Then she looked at Joshua and gave a sweet smile.

((Lol, sorry you got caught up in tons of people butting in. :P))

Chris heard some first years giggling behind him at the first Gryffindor table. He turned around to introduce himself. The Ravenclaw's didn't have much personality anyway, he like Gryffindor's better, except for him of course.
"Hey, how ya' doing? My name's Chris Moxie, wizard adept," (and people thought he had an ego.) "And i'd like to personally welcome you to Hogwarts."

"Wow, thanks." Joshua said kindly. "I was pretty nervous the older-years would be somewhat cocky towards us. Looks like I was wrong, huh?" The smile that was already glued to his face grew wider. "My name is Joshua Falcontoe, it's nice to meet you." He shoved another large piece of pumpkin bread into his mouth and washed it down with a gulp from a small goblet of apple cider.

Her new acquaintance Joshua had just introduced him self and before she could begin to ramble once more he pointed her to a person on whom her attention would readily fix.
"H-Harry. P-p-potter." She managed to stutter out after her fellow first year K.C. had offered her name as well. Her mouth was slightly open and for once she was speechless. He was a legend in the flesh. He mouth slightly agape she reached for her goblet and missed grasping at air for a few moments before lowering her hand back to the table. An upper-class man from ravenclaw took notice of them and offered his name; Chris Moxie. Her gaze was riveted and she failed to notice. Quite simply she was stunned.

Chris turned to see what had one of the first years attention and wasn't letting go, and instantly saw for himself. Harry Potter. Chris grinned.
"Ah, Potter, we've spoken on occasion, infrequently though, us Ravenclaw's don't see you guys all too much. Nice guy. If you're so interested why don't you go talk to him?" Chris saw himself equal to or better than all other beings, so the idea of talking to anyone wasn't in anyway daunting.

Moving his index finger along his goblet, James looked at the scene around him. Watching the first years in awe of the castle. Having dinner, talking to other peers of their house. He could care less about the new raven claws that have arrived. He started to reminse about the first time he arrived at Hogwarts. He was in a state of awe himself. Couldnt wait to go to his classes, try to learn spells, become a better wizard all around. But he lost that feeling a long time ago. He gets interrupted from his daydream by his cat, Mirai. Pure black coat, glowing yellow eyes. The cat looked like it came striaght from a halloween horror story. Mirai was nibbling at his cheecks. She wanted to leave this place. Feeling bored and tired himself, James gets up from his table, and walks off to the door. With Mirai on his left shoulder.

"I doubt he'd be interested in speaking with us.." Joshua wasn't very hungry, so he took one last gulp of cider and wiped a napkin across his mouth properly.
"I'm about done here. Hopefully seeya around Chris. I'll be in our common room." He smiled, and stood up. Picking up his rat out of his pocket, he stroked it's scruffy fur and walked out.

At the thought of speaking with The Harry Potter alexia flushed horrified.. "I-I could never!" She muttered half to her self. Seeing Joshua leaving sparked the idea for her own hasty retreat.. "I-I just recalled some unpacking I forgot to get to. I think I left ginger in her cubby! Got to go!" She giggled nervously then stood up, nearly tripped over her own feet, and raced off towards the common room.

Ce'Nedra smiled and waved at Harry Potter, who had just sat across from her. He smiled and waved back. "How was your summer?" He asked, making Ce'Nedra giggle. "It was okay. Went to Califonia, though." She giggled again.

Again she picked at her food, taking a total of 3 or 4 bites of each."I'll be unpacking." She said, and hurried up to the common room.

Chris smiled and shook his head, laughing softly. Had he ever been so nervous? He couldn't recall it, but he was sure he had been. Perhaps that was why he'd turned out how he did, masking anxiety with confidence. He thought about it for a minute, then dismissed the thought hastily. He had no anxiety, the best did not have anxiety. Then he closed his eyes and reminesced on the good times, such as the sweater incident...

Joshua waited for the second set of stairs to come his way, when they temporary clicked with his, he hastily hopped onto the next platform. He made his way up to the painting and stated the password,
"Bug Juice"
The painting creaked open slowly, and as it came to the end of it's hinges it slammed backwards, knocking loudly against the wall behind it. Josh hopped in, and the painting shut behind him. He made his way up to the boys dormitory, and grabbed Gabby's cage. He pulled the small spotted Rat out and placed it on his shoulder. It's worm-like tail swayed against the back of Joshua's neck, and he tried to hold in his laughs as he unpacked the rest of his belongings.
"Well, I have classes tomorrow, so maybe I should re-study some of my books.."

((Remember guys, we're in England right now. For a lesson on British slang, PM me. Oh and thanks, Gelfman. I didn't read all the books for nothing!))

::Boudicea stood and straightened her black robes. She always wore a green cloak over her robes. The black braid hung down her back and came to rest just above her knee-level.::

Come, Black Crow. ::She snapped her fingers and the dog came bounding from under the table. He rose to her waist and was a magnificent, gleaming animal. She scratched him affectionately and set off through the Great Hall towards her common room. She passed her fellow Slytherins without sparing a glance. They all began whispers about her, of which she took no notice. As she passed the Ravenclaw table she caught a sight of that boy who was after her. She laughed in spite of her dignified air. Her heart had no room for adolescent pangs of love. She passed the Gryffindor table and turned. She gave a small curtsey and a nod to her fellow sixth-year, Harry Potter. It was something she did once in awhile to test his resolve. Now that Voldemort was among them again Boudicea knew she'd wind up working with him. Her parents were Death Eaters, and she was the black sheep in the family. They tried to make her see what the Dark Lord was like, and yet they cringed in fear whenever she said the name. Boudicea passed the Hufflepuff table and exited the Great Hall. She made her way to the Slytherin common room but did not stay to socialize. She never did. She doubted many of her fellow Slytherins had even heard her voice. She made her way to her dormitory and got ready for bed. Black Crow bounded onto the four-poster and circled at the foot. She drew back the curtains and went to sleep, eager for the next day's classes.::

Ce'Nedra finished unpack, and Kyo rubbed against her left. She took out her hair, and the firey red hair fells down upon her shoulders. She shook out her hair, and put on black and red Sabbath pajamas. She opened a book, and laid down to read. Pretty soon she was fast asleep.

K.C. just sat quietly as usual and spaced out until she found that Joshua had left and this new boy was here. "Oh my i'm very sorry i was day dreaming...my name is K.C. Calican. What's your name?" She spoke to the boy and blushed for she was embaressed for goofing off already. She sat in await for the boy to answer her.

"K.C? Hi, i'm Chris, fifth year, welcome to Hogwarts." He smiled and turned away from the first years for a minute, and suddenly spotted someone he knew.
"James!" He exclaimed to know one in particular, as James was too faraway to hear. Carefully, he took aim with his wand and racked his brain for a fun stinging spell he often used to get people's attention.
"Twidrus." He aid, and aimed the joke spell at James shoulder.

"God damnit", James pulls out his wand and delfects the shot. The shot of magic started to bounce upon the walls, and eventually hit a random Hufflepuff. (When is he gonna learn to stop those childish tricks and stoping thinking im one of his freind.) James gives a snare look at Chris from across the room. Being very annoyed at this point, he avoids the problem by leaving the feast as intended, and to go to his room for sleep. He leaves the room with a steady pace. Walks up and jumps the stairs, and gives the password to the knight. He walks to his bed and gets undressed and into more comfortable cloths. James falls alsleep with Mirai at his feet, and a wand in his hand.

Joshua let Gabby down into it's cage, where it immediatly burrowed itself within it's straw. Joshua put the cage onto his night table and grabbed his pajamas. Before he could even make his way to the bathroom, he became so exhausted he had fallen backwards straight into a slumber..

((I want all the following posts to be taking place the day after, when classes start. Letting classes start too late in Academy was one of my faults.))

Josh woke up in a daze. Eventually he realized he was slightly off scheduale, which made his heart somersault. He leapt out of his bed and got himself ready in the bathroom. It seemed most of the other students were already done getting ready, but he had no time to socialize with the others that remained. He threw on new clothing along with his robe.
Tossing a few books into the cradle of his arms, he grabbed Gabby's cage and managed to take a glance at his scheduale.
"Transfiguration: Animals Are Required"
He ran hastily out the doorway.

Ce'Nedra appeared just a smidgen late. She took a seat, and looked for the teacher, but she appeared to be out. So, she took out her Transfigration book and began to read. Kyo slept on the desk.

Time for transfiguration, Chris thought eagerly, especially since he was to be the teacher's aid this year. One of the third years he had seen at the feat was busy reading, her familiar sleeping on her desk. Chris took out his wand and felt the weight once again, as he always did before he used magic. James hadn't seemed too happy to see him last night, oh well, hopefully he wasn't still upset about the Easter egg incident.

(Randy, if you'd like to elaborate on the Easter egg incident, go ahead)

After a night of relativly peacefull sleep Alexia had greeted the new day with a smile and a willingness to learn. After checking her class list she had arrived just in time for transfiguration, with her cat ginger. Ginger was a calico american short hair, and a cat of more then avarge inelligance. Alexia noticed two of the three people she had met the night before, but was too cought up in talking to ginger to greet them. "Aren't you just the bestest little kitty that ever was? is my ikle ginger ready for this splendid day?" she cooed. Ginger didn't seem to apreciate the attention. Her ears were back and her eyes narrowed. Ikle ginger seemed ready to claw out her owners eyes.

[I'm a third year.]

Absently, Ce'Nedra began to stratch behind Kyo's ears, as she read, completely oblivious to the world. The cat woke up, looked at Ce'Nedra and turned it back to her, and so she stopped petting it. Kyo looked over at Ce'Nedra and glared at her.

Joshua burst through the doorway and leapt into his seat, almost toppling over himself as he did so. He examined the room, recognizing some of the students. Though, it had been easy to tell many people were missing. Prof. McGonagall looked agitated, the tight bun her hair was curled into only added to the negative exterior.
The bell was going to ring any minute, and a good portion of her class was missing. Joshua couldn't help feeling nervous for the currently absent people, because Prof. McGonagall didn't seem like one who would be good to make an enemy of.
He stuck his head into the introduction of his textbook and quivered.

K.C. didn't get a chance to greet the new day as she wishes for she had woken up late!! So she got dressed and ran to transfiguration with Sassy (her cat that was mostly jet black except for her stomache which was a pale brown and creamy color.) in her arms. K.C. stepped through the door thanking god that she made it to class on time when she noticed joshua, chris and alexia in the classroom. "Hey Joshua...hey Chris...hey Alexia!!" She greeted them all with a sweet smile and went to her seat to await the beginninng of class.

Josh waved to K.C. with a weary grin, he had gotten up in such a rush that he hadn't realized how exhausted he really was. Once the adrenaline emptied from his system, he was a wreak. He sighed, staring into the clock as it drowned into class time with only a few seconds to spare..

Chris waved to K.C. and sat down at the desk nearest to the professor. He respected McGonagall, she didn't take any crap and was quite an adept witch (though by the time he was her age he expected to be worshipped as nobody ahd since Merlin himself!) At any rate, the bell was just about to ring, and James still wasn't anywhere to be seen...

James busted through the doors of the class room. He seemed alittle sweaty from running thier. "Sorry im late". "And why is it that your late Mr.Monrow? I was just about to get into my introduction while you rudely interrupted me. I expect an explanation from you.""Sorry Mrs.McGonagall, but I have no reasoning for being late to your class." James felt the room Pericing through his senses. He couldnt help but not tell the truth. No one would care anyways. Everyone then waited for Mrs.McGonagall to reply. "Well then Mister Monrow, five points taken from Ravenclaw. Have a seat James, we are here to learn you know." James was smart and didnt retaliate back with words. While approching his seat, he notices his peers turning there heads to listien to what ever Ms.McGonagall was saying. He saw Chris, but qiuckly looked away with an aura of annoyence. It wasnt that he was still mad about yesterday, he just dosent like Chris as a person. But he just keeps trying to imprint an immperssion on him ever since they came to Hogwarts. James takes his seat next to a random girl, and starts to focus on what Ms.McGonagall was teaching.
