[ Albus thinks that this kissing thing is really sweet and kind of cute. *3* JUST NOT FOR HIM because he has absolutely no wish to be kissed by anyone. at all. too bad for him, huh? he's set up shop in the library, and is at a table with a lot of books surrounding him, most of them about healing magic. he has removed every single bell within a two

There certainly seem to be quite a few aspects of your Hogwarts that resemble Paradisa, Albus.

[lifeandliesof]

[ writes back! ]

Not least of all the flare for decorations. [ haha ] But it is true. The innate magic, the ghosts, the unpredictability, to name a few.

[ruin_mania]

Perhaps you're lucky, then. You must feel much less out-of-water than some others do.

[lifeandliesof]

Perhaps. It helped with regard to my adjustment period, yes. Paradisa is, of course, far more malevolent than my old school, but... [ a couple of pentaps ] not quite so much this week.

[kindnessing]

Hogwarts? Did you ever tell me what that was, Albus?

[lifeandliesof]

I'm not sure I did... It's the name of my old school. One of my favourite places.

[kindnessing]

A school... for wizards, I'm guessing?

[lifeandliesof]

You guessed right. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Around the holidays, the castle would be spruced up, quite a lot like this.

[onlyanapple]

It's the season of what? Random kissing.

[lifeandliesof]

Well, that. But also of warmth, and kindness, and family, and wonderfully overdone decorations.

[onlyanapple]

...

And now I've just lost my appetite. Thanks for that.

[lifeandliesof]

[ chuckling >3 ]

Don't forget love and goodwill towards all men.

[She's been trying to find a spot to avoid the bells or people all day that isn't the room full of a dinosaur when she comes across Albus in the library. She recognizes him so she'll cautiously approach.]

Any bells here?

[lifeandliesof]

[ looks up, and recognises Zoe. :) gives a friendly wave ]

The way is clear; I made sure of it.

[someoneto_carry]

Good. Then I hope you don't mind if I sit for awhile.

[Pulls out a chair at the table and sits down with a relieved sigh]

I just need a break from evading people for awhile.

[lifeandliesof]

Not at all; please do.

[ small chuckle ]

I confess to be doing much the same. But I can't bring myself to coop myself up in my room, either.

[priestish]

Hogwarts? That's certainly an interesting name.

dictated back atchu <3

[lifeandliesof]

Isn't it? It has a certain understated charm, I think.

o bebi <3

[priestish]

Is it the name of a place?

[lifeandliesof]

Indeed it is; a castle much like this one. Except for a few pointed differences.

Ah, and there is also a flower that shares the name.
