Having an open house is proving to be a pleasant, albeit noisy, distraction from worries. I hope nothing too ridiculous happens this weekend, although I suppose our visitors can't do anything that Dumbledore doesn't already know how to handle.

Allow me to introduce myself. Jules de Ferrier of Normandy, pureblood, sixth year Slytherin. Welcome.

...Jules?

[dofaye]

Yes, that would be-- Rose-- I'm sorry, do I know you?

[playshorsie]

Yes, you do.

...You're so big.

[dofaye]

I, er, I'm the same size as I've been for a while.

[playshorsie]

You're big and old and... did you grow out your hair?

[dofaye]

It was much shorter when I was young, if that's what you mean. I imagine we haven't seen each other for a while, then?

[playshorsie]

Not really. I remember I left you in the Mansion this morning.

Show me around?

[dofaye]

[...what is he, an accessory?]

All right. What's your name?

[playshorsie]

[Yes. 8(]

...I thought you already knew. You are Jules, aren't you? It's Arion Rosemarine.

[dofaye]

[His life. 8(]

I am Jules de Ferrier, and I do know an Arion Rosemariné. He's my age, though.

[playshorsie]

I am him. Technically.

Oh, did older me grow out his hair, too?

[dofaye]

[WHAT IN GOD'S NAME-- screw this, he'll just roll with it for now.]

Mmm, he did. It's quite becoming on him.

[playshorsie]

That's good.

So, what's this place? I know it's a castle, but what is it for? The paintings are kinda creepy.

[dofaye]

It's where I go to school as of about six months ago. I would be concerned that you'd run into my Rosemariné, but for some odd reason I think that's unlikely.

[playshorsie]

It's a school, huh? It's certainly bigger than Lacombrade.

[dofaye]

Much, and older, too. What brings you here?
