Wednesday, March 1 - Morning1jul_agateJanuary 12 2007, 00:47:23 UTC
Jul came back into the common room and settled at one of the tables to finish up her homework before class started. Everything that was not an essential to becoming an auror had taken a backseat in her studies so she was usually caught trying to finish it up at the last second.
She pulled out a muffin (or two) that she'd stashed in her pocket and started nibbling on the first one while writing down exactly why muggles created dishwashers. Lovely.

Bloody. Hell.
Danielle's head felt like... nothing she'd ever experienced. Before the mass drunkeness had begun in her dormroom, she remembered Ashleigh talking about a hangover potion. Somewhere. Out there. She'd slept in but her alarm had still gone off, causing the headache. Or... encouraging the headache. Or... something else that required thinking to identify. She had been ready to go back to sleep (three cheers for no classes before lunch!). Of course, then she'd remembered that she had homework due. Although she was tempted to skive, the fact of the matter was she was getting an O and she should keep it that way. So down she went to get some food and a hangover potion
( ... )

Jul looked up as she finished her bloody ridiculous summary on dishwashers and was enjoying the break to eat a rather big piece off of her blueberry muffin. Then she heard a voice; "Wha?" Jul looked around and saw an older year looking at her from one of the couches.
"Oh.." She glanced down at her two muffins and was sad to see one go honestly..but this girl was even less of a morning person than she was. "Sure..I guess..I mean.." Jul grabbed the other muffin and walked over to her..recognizing her vaguely but not completely (older years were a bit in their own league even though Tybalt hung out with them didn't mean alot of the rest did.) "Here."
Re: Wednesday, March 1 - Morning1danielle_coleJanuary 12 2007, 02:26:28 UTC
Danielle blinked a couple of times, praying that, by some miracle, the pounding would end. She realized with another groan that she should probably shower as well, which would require even more time. For now, she tried to focus on the other girl.
Bless her heart, she gave Danielle the muffin. Danielle smiled gratefully and ate a chunk.
"Merlin bless you," she mumbled. "I'm Danielle," she offered. One should be at least polite to anyone who saved your life with a muffin. She curled up with her muffin, and wished for some water. She considered using her wand, but didn't trust herself with a wand yet.

Jul came into the common room completely knackered. Potions took all the energy she ever had to concentrate and really get the hang of the whole thing. Bri helped a bit, was always understanding and all that but still...
She thoughtlessly let the books drop on the floor and curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace and stared to think about what that head auror had told her.
She still hadn't told anyone she'd visited him. Not even her dad yet...she would, she just...was scared of getting laughed at.
Wednesday, March 1st - Morning 2calie_myersJanuary 12 2007, 03:41:07 UTC
Calie had gotten up early today. Early since she didn't have any classes until after lunch. She was sitting on a chair by the window reading a book on herbs with her hair draped over her face. She was a little bored lately since Jojo was so busy studying all the time. They seemed to be missing each other all the time, and he kept having to spend time in the library during lunches to go over information. She hoped today he might give up and meet her for lunch, but she wasn't going to hope for it.
She had gotten his invitation and had yet to talk to Phoebe about it. She was excited for it, surprised that Jojo could be this romantic. It was definitely new for Calie. Alex hadn't cared about things like this.
Re: Wednesday, March 1st - Morning 2danielle_coleJanuary 12 2007, 04:09:37 UTC
Cleaner and no longer hungover (Jul was right... the elves were dears), Danielle headed back into the Common Room to nap until after lunch. She was (pleasantly?) surprised to find Calie. She hadn't spoken to the younger girl since she and Jojo had started going out.
Time to scare the living daylights out of her.
... or, since she wanted to keep Jojo as a friend, time to poke her just a little.
"Hey Calie," she greeted politely. Let the interrogation chatting begin!
Re: Wednesday, March 1st - Morning 2calie_myersJanuary 12 2007, 04:27:24 UTC
Calie looked up and had to spread her hair so she could see who was poking her, "Oh hey Danielle!" She said pleasantly, friendly smile. Sure, she was like Jojo's best friend, but Calie wasn't sure exactly how the land lay between them.
"How have you been?" She closed her book on her thumb to keep her spot and tucked her hair behind her ears. She could do some small talk... well she could try.
Re: Wednesday, March 1st - Morning 2danielle_coleJanuary 12 2007, 04:44:44 UTC
Sure, Danielle liked Calie and thought that Jojo had found a very nice girl... but, still, she felt the need to ensure Jojo had made a good selection. Or whatever kids were calling it these days.
"It's been a while," she said politely. "I've been busy. NEWTs and whatnot." By 'whatnot' Danielle meant getting drunk and hungover and such. "How about you? How're things with you and Jojo?"
Monday, March 6th, Eveningzak_resoJanuary 18 2007, 22:33:47 UTC
Zak lay awkwardly on his bed, guitar lying across his chest with his arms positioned oddly to accomadate the rather awful playing he was doing. His head was at the foot of his bed, staring out past the hanging and up at the ceiling. His fingers tried their best to find the right chords, but really, playing while lying down was just not his thing. Not yet, anyway.
He sang along with the tune, making a point of singing badly. Just to make life that bit more difficult for whoever was in the room with him. Zak smirked to himself a little and sat up, deciding he didn't like sounding awful. And so, he started to play properly. "Last time I talked to you, you were lonely and out of place. You were looking down on me, lost out in space..."
Re: Monday, March 6th, Eveningromeo_remyJanuary 18 2007, 22:38:41 UTC
"Oh thank fuck. I thought you'd never get back in tune."
Remy's head peered out from between his hanging curtains, brown eyes dozy from too much reading, and too little sleep. He'd been revising for an uncoming Runes test, of which he knew too little, and most of his time lately had been spent poring over books.
He smiled a little awkwardly at his roommate, not sure how to approach him now. They'd not really talked since his and Danny's 'split'...in fact, they'd not talked at all, and it unnerved Remy somewhat. He didn't know how to speak to Zak anymore, and he didn't like it.
"Sounds good." He waved, vaguely, towards the guitar. "Your song."
Re: Monday, March 6th, Eveningzak_resoJanuary 18 2007, 22:47:04 UTC
Zak glanced up, surprised. He hadn't thought there was anyone else here...he'd sounded pretty awful, how had he not said anything before now? He lowered his eyes back to his strings and kept playing, though he remained silent.
Of course he knew about the break up. How could he not? Mags had barely shut up about it since she'd found out. No, he didn't know what to do about it. No, he didn't know how to act around Remy. Hadn't a clue. One the one hand, yes, he was thrilled that Danny was no longer around. Of course he was. On the other hand, Remy breaking up with Danny didn't fix the fact that Remy had completely betrayed him. Bitter, Zak? Never!
"Thanks," His voice was uncertain. Wary. "It's Our Lady Peace..."
Re: Monday, March 6th, Eveningromeo_remyJanuary 18 2007, 22:52:41 UTC
"Good. You are, I mean. The song is. The - oh shut up, Remy." He coughed and rubbed at his cheek, suddenly so uncomfortable in a way he never had been around Zak. Last time they'd talked, they'd known exactly where they stood - or rather, they'd known how to deal with each other; fight. Now, the reason for fighting was removed, and they were suddenly left with an empty space where conversation should be.
Remy shifted uncomfortably, pulling back the bedcurtains and watching his oldest friend sit and play, fingers nimble on the strings. "Been a long time, hasn't it? Since - since we've talked."
God bless him, he was trying. He really was trying. He just didn't know how to do it, was all.
Tuesday, March 7th, Late Evening/Nightjojo_jenkinsJanuary 19 2007, 17:57:57 UTC
Common room. Finally. Jojo halfheartedly dragged his bag in the portrait hole after him, apologising the the painting lady when the back hit her in the back of the head...technically. Why yes, he had been doing some more ridiculous amounts of studying and planning. Yesterday had been spent showing Nico the room, Jojo was beginning to get excited. He was hoping to see Nico at some point tomorrow, they needed to figure out exactly what the hell was going on.
He'd shared part of his idea with Dom, Phoebe and Calie over the weekend. It really only consisted of him mentioning the idea of a DADA group, but it was enough. If the idea got passed around, maybe something good would come of it. Just...hopefully to the right people. He'd half-said not to make a big deal of it and Jojo trusted them all, so..."Hey!"
Re: Tuesday, March 7th, Late Evening/Nightcalie_myersJanuary 19 2007, 18:03:47 UTC
Calie sat up with a big grin on her face and dragged her hand across her mouth... discreetly, since no one liked drool. Calie had been napping on the warm comfy couch after studying and making notes for History. The boring textbook had managed to put her to sleep on the couch, and her dreams were filled with Goblins waving axes at her and telling her ribbons were on sale at half price.
"Hey," she said and moved over to make room, sleepy still and feeling a lot more lethargic then she wanted to be right now. When he sat down she immediately cuddled up next to him, happy he was here now and that this was actually possible. "I was beginning to think you were some sort of ghost," she joked.
Re: Tuesday, March 7th, Late Evening/Nightjojo_jenkinsJanuary 19 2007, 18:17:35 UTC
Jojo returned the grin easily and happily joined her on the couch, his bag forgotten somewhere near the entrance to the room. Hopefully no one would walk into it and break their shins. What? It could happen.
He grinned, wrapping his arms around Calie as he kissed the top of her head. Oh, cuddling. "Maybe I am," He replied, smirking faintly at the idea. Was that a morbid thought? Jojo hoped not. He sighed, shaking his head a little. This overthinking everything thing was getting irritating. And with this overthought thought, he simply relaxed. His posture became slouched in the seat and all his muscles slowly relaxed. Here he was, in his common room all warm and cozy and cuddling a cute girl who happened to mean a lot to him. Smiling lazily, Jojo decided that he would not move for the next few hours if at all possible. "How's life, then?"
Re: Tuesday, March 7th, Late Evening/Nightcalie_myersJanuary 19 2007, 18:25:31 UTC
"Life is school, and school is boring," Calie answered, smiling at his suddenly relaxed posture. A thought occurred to her, that maybe this would be the only time she had to ask him about his plans... and if it was some sort of step towards revenge... or something ridiculous like that. But one look at Jojo and Calie hardly wanted to disturb the peace he was surrounded in, "Here," she said and got up so she was standing on the couch. With a little fumbling she managed to sit herself on the back of the couch and place on leg on each side of Jojo's shoulders.
She started to kneed his back with her hands, thinking maybe his back would be all mangled from studying all of this time. At least from her experience, sitting hunched over books for long periods of time drove her back muscles to seize up. "I talked to Danielle," she said conversationally, "It's weird, but it's almost like she's sizing me up or something."
