Ninth Chapter

[liedohneworter]

Ok, please hold on one moment before you try to take Rue seriously... damn it. damn damn damn. The potion was so strong, it wasn't supposed to be used by anyone!

Rue is under a love potion I made, but i swear this is not as bad as it sounds!! Hear me out! Her cat accidentally knocked the potion-which i had been brewing to merely work on my potion

"Love potion," you say? Sounds like quite a tricky mess you've gotten yourself into. Good luck with working the details out.

By the way, I overheard that you like tea. I'm a bit of a collector myself, really. Having been introduced to it when I was a child, my tastes have expanded over the years. It's good to see that someone else appreciates the finer things in life.

If you'd ever like to go to a cafe, I'd be more than welcome to treat you. I've seen you around the common room before, but never properly held a conversation with you.

It would seem we have a few similar interests -- knowledge and experience in life. You seem quite the protege, so continue excelling at your studies.

[liedohneworter]

Yes... it's a bit of a spot i'm in right now, but I promise you It will soon be resolved.

Ah! Yes, in fact I am quite a big fan of tea, I'm suprised to hear someone else shares that same likeness. Do you prefer a particular blend? I actually stock a few small boxes in my trunk during school dorm periods.

I would much enjoy that, actually. You seem like an intelligent person on much the same level as I am. Perhaps we can discuss our interests furthur and see what else we have in common.

But before that, i haven't quite caught an appropriate introduction. The name is Autor. I'm a 7th year Ravenclaw, it's quite the pleasure to meet you.

[sacred_delusion]

The pleasure is all mine, friend. Now let me properly introduce myself. My name is Souji Mikage, also a seventh year Ravenclaw

[liedohneworter]

Aha! I should have known you were, I do believe I have seen you around the common room.

I certainly will look forward to comparing our scedules, then.

My personal favorite happens to be Darjeeling and Assam, which I was introduced to while doing research on 'Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts'. Rose-hip tea sounds interesting, I would probably drink it plain, though. I prefer the bitterness of tea.

Mint tea does indeed have an strong aftertaste, I don't drink it very often.

I happen to be in Germany right now, but I could travel through floo powder, apparation, or simply by train. I happen to appreciate fine arts quite a lot, would you be referring to both muggle and wizard arts? Either one would be quite interesting. I would enjoy that.

Would next week be an appropriate time for you?

I may have overstayed my welcome, so I may take you up on your offer. I will discuss this further with the others in the household i'm staying at.

I hope I will see more of you soon, Souji.

[ooc: Puchiko :D chat with me anytime!]

Darjeeling? Why Lacus informed me that was also her favorite type of tea. We have set up a seminar date in the next few weeks to talk about her problems over tea as well.

If you would like, I could brew you a batch of my homemade rose-hip tea when you visit.

Germany? I've always wanted to visit there. I hope your vacation is going well. My lodging is qaunt, but there's room for guests and the sights around the area are beautiful.

Definately both muggle and wizard art. A lot of the muesums we have here are muggle, with a variety of arts and history through the ages.

Yes, next week would be perfect. Aside from promoting my seminars, I've kept myself busy with star gazing and just reading.

If you'd like, we can discuss your problems over tea at my place or a cafe. Feel free to drop by when it's most convinent for you. My place is always welcome.

( MisforMello is mine, drop me a line.)

[liedohneworter]

Is that so? I thought I was the only big fan of it around the school. Interesting.

I would enjoy that, I'm interested to taste that flavor of tea.

Germany is quite beautiful, you will definitely have to visit it sometime. It's home to many beautiful museums as well. My vacation has certainly been nothing less than... interesting. It's definitely a full house over here.

Ah, sounds like something I could really get into. History is definitely my top favorite subject, next to the arts.

You read? I happen to be a heavy reader myself. You've got brilliant taste in past-times. You must show me your collection of books when I visit.

Thank you, your generousity is much appreciated.

[sacred_delusion]

Call it odd, but I've found myself recording what tea flavors students here on campus like. Some prefer tea to coffee and then I'd tally what flavors and if they add condiments to such. Perhaps at the end of the semester, I'll post my research publically.

A childhood friend introduced me to the flavor, since his older sister kept a rose garden. I made it my duty to visit a few times a week, to check on his health. He had always had a weak immune system, but it got worse as time passed.

Perhaps over spring break, we could plan a trip to visit Germany together? You could show me the muesums and I'm sure it would be exciting.

History is a favorite subject of yours? Very interesting. I love history and science most of all. I can predict some great conversations in the future.

Oh, most definately. What is a favorite story of yours? Muggle or Wizard, it doesn't matter.

Not a problem at all. I already consider us kindred spirits.

[liedohneworter]

Sounds like a very interesting research subject, perhaps I could assist you this year, you've caught my interest on collecting data

[sacred_delusion]

If you'd like, I'd be more than happy for the help. Just bring the subject up in casual conversation and write down the statistics in a notepad on hand

[liedohneworter]

Sounds simple enough, I will start working on that once school starts again.

Your friend's name was Mamiya? I suppose if he was a friend of yours, I would have liked to have known him. I'm sure I will like the tea.

Well, I haven't seen much of Denmark, which is quite the historical country, isn't it?

I see. I had a feeling you were good at potions, though. I wouldn't doubt we'll be in the same potions class this year.

You are absolutely welcome to read it anytime you wish! I'm suprised, not many people are interesting in reading besides a few bookworms like myself.

Oh! You're a fan of his work? I enjoy most of his literature, especially the one you've just mentioned. You're certainly well-read, aren't you?

The way things are going, I wouldn't doubt it.

Thank you, I certainly wish for the best.

[sacred_delusion]

Oh, it would seem so. Scanning through my atlas, it seems to be expanded territory with a lot of historical signifance ranging from both past to present set up.

Perhaps we might. I need to make out a final schedule for this coming semester. When you have a spare chance, let me glance over yours to see if we have any of the same.

Hm, with that said, the book must be quite lengthy and in detail. Always the best kind, especially from a myth.

Thanks, I try. I'm sure you know a few good novels I haven't had the chance to read yet. My Father was a scientist, so he was always working abroad and my Mother was gone most of the time. I kept myself busy expanding my horizons through books, hoping one day to achieve something great in this world that would benefit humanity.

Again, let me know if you decide to visit France early. You are always welcome here.

[liedohneworter]

Wonderful, then I would highly suggest looking into that further.

Certainly. Over my visit, we'll have plenty to discuss over that topic.

I'm impressed, my Father was a big researcher like myself. I do believe you will reach your goal, Souji. So far you've been nothing less than the top of your abilities.

I... think I may. Would you be offended if I came over after the upcomming weekend?

[sacred_delusion]

Yes, we'll definately keep ourselves busy. It's been quite a while since I've last invited a guest over.

You think so? Thanks for the support, it's nice to hear I'm not alone here.

Oh, not at all. As I mentioned, my schedule is pretty bare at the moment. Just drop in whenever you are ready, my friend.

[liedohneworter]

Thank you Souji, you've offered quite a lot of kindness to me. I hope I can repay you someday
