He gulped heavily, and turned his head to one side, then the other as he saw everyone there was listening in to hear about himself. He grin became wider in a display of embarassment, or maybe even flattery.
"Um...well..." He stuttered, soon spitting up the words in a weak display, "I've never..really been compl-complimented before.... Um...err..." He looked around again, then met her sapphire eyes with his own. He could see that she was serious of her words and tone. He could see it all in that attractive swirl of a pupil she had. |

Dinner finally ended and Elise stood up, streatching her sore muscles; it'd been a long day. A loud 'meow' rang out through the crowd, and along came Zwolf, bounding up and onto Elise's shoulder. She seemed angry, but at the same time happy to have finally found her owner. Elise grinned warmly and stroked her pet's fur. "Sorry, Zwolf.." she mumbled to the cat. The students were now clearing out of the Great Hall, following their prefects to thier quarters. Elise left the table and began to head after her fellow house members. She stopped and turned back to stand beside Victor. "Well, I guess this is goodbye... huh?" she whispered, slightly dissapointed at the sudden turn of events. She forced a smile and looked up at him, winking. "I'm sure we'll... see eachother again.. I hope." |

He shuffled about in his chair, and stood as all the other students did to. When they all were about to leave for their appropriate places. He looked down at her small figure, expressing a sad look in his eye. His lips quirmed to one side of his face, then he looked to the ground as she announced their depart. Out of what seemed to be reaction, her firmly grabbed her arm, he took a step forward and whispered in her ear.
"Well, this will be for in case we don't..." To this he pressed his cheek against hers softly, then turned his head to place a kiss on her soft face. He then quickly turned away and grabbed his cases from the floor. He turned around and gave a small wave to her, his face emitting a red glow. He then turned again and followed his fellow students to the Gryffindor chamber. |

She blinked, dumb-founded and embarassed, watching Victor as he grinned, walking away. As she stood there, she heard what sounded like Etta calling her, and Zwolf butted her head against Elise's cheek, almost as if saying 'get a move on!'. Coming back to her senses, Elise grabbed her luggage and, clumsily, ran after the other members of her house, glancing back to see Victor's figure dissapear. |

Well, almost everything. At one point they started whispering to each other, and she couldn't hear what was said. However, she had seen the little kiss. Sure it was just on the cheek, but both of them had turned so red!! It made Etta laugh, and strengthend her resolve not to fall head over heels for anyone. Maybe a crush, but no more.
"Welcome back to reality," laughed Etta as Elise finally came to her senses. Terrestial had resumed his position on her head, and preened himself, only to stop and glare icily at the cat. She waited until Elise was beside her before she followed the exodus of Ravenclaw students. She checked to see if Snape was watching, when the coast was clear she "swished and flicked." "Wingardium leviosa," she murmured, and the trunk lifted slightly off the ground. "I would drag it, but the conents are a little... unstable," she said sheepishly. "And I'm pretty lazy." "C'mon then, to the Ravenclaw common room!" Etta walked up the stairs, and the trunk floated lazily behind her. "I'll show you to the room where the sixth-year girls stay, and you can relieve yourself of your burden and rest your weary mind. We'll be rooming with two other girls, Susan and Lanie. They're a little crazy, but this is Hogwarts, everyone here's at least slightly insane." She came to a portrait of an old wizard bent over a piece of parchment and scribbling on it furiously. "Password?" his voice was reedy, and he never tore his eyes off the parchment. "Blubbersnoot," Etta said confidently, and the portrait swung open. She motioned for Elise to follow. "Home, sweet home." She allowed Elise to go in first, before she went in. |

"Cali," Anthony commanded softly. Fast as lightning, the little owl shot out of his pocket and landed on his head where he immediatly started to preen himself. "Knock it off, little one, i have a job for you." Anthony spoke to the little bird as he walked along, loosely following his house. "Take this note to the Ravenclaw, the pretty one you met earlier" Calibur swiftly took the note in one claw, flew around Anthony's head once, and then zoomed off to deliver his note. If she still wanted the potion she could get it... later. Still, Anthony suddenly realized, why was he wasting his time with the Ravenclaw? Her "socially adjusted" friend had already canceled the original deal according to Anthony's words. Anthony paused for a moment before he passed through the door to the Slytherin common room as he contemplated his decision. Maybe Anthony did have a bit of a soft-side to his nature... but only a bit. |

It startled her, and she fell backwards and landed on her rear. Terrestial flapped and hovered over her hooting angrily.
"Oof! What the-" then she saw a tiny, familiar-looking owl. "Oh, hello, Calibur," she looked in her lap and picked up the note. She unfolded the parchment, skimmed it quickly and smiled. Dizzy hadn't ruined her chances afterall!! "You're a lucky one, Disino," she muttered as she fished through her robes. Etta pulled out two owl treats and a quill. She gave a treat to each owl and scribbled a reply below Anthony's message. Very well. How does the trophy room at about 1:11 AM sound? We can finish our business privately. Forever, Etta She gave calibur the note, and he zoomed off. Etta stood up and brushed herself off before she scrambled through the portrait hole. |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | "Hmm..." Anthony hmmed as he read the reply. Calibur delivered it like a comet but had not dropped it until Anthony had given him a treat. Damn bird, it was about as shrewd as its master. Oh well, Calibur was priceless that way.
"So, the trophy room at 1:11,' Anthony whispered to himself in the emptiness of the dormitories; everyone else was downstairs in their little packs. "I do hope she comes..." Just then, Anthony felt something, like a sixth sense he never knew he had triggering out of nowhere. The hairs on the back of his neck rose and cold sweat started to drip down his forehead. What was going on? "Who's there!?" Anthony shouted at the peak of paranoia. Nothing. THere was no response and, all of a sudden, Anthony felt better. He shivered. What had just happened? |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Elise, who tended to use magic sparingly, had carried her bags up the stairs with Zwolf perched upon her shoulder all the while. When they finally reached the portrait, she let out a sigh of relief. It was relieving to know they were finally at their quarters, yet the moving (and speaking) portrait caught Elise a bit off guard. As she had been walking into the common room she stopped, and waited as she watched Etta deal with a small owl (which Zwolf had seemed to be keen on devouring). When Etta had completed her business, Elise questioned her as the fellow Ravenclaw walked past.
"What was that..." she began, but decided it was best not to ask. Etta escourted her to her room and she fell down upon her bed, Zwolf jumping down before her. Tuckered out, Elise curled up in a comfortable position, her feline companion cuddling up beside her. Elise's mind wandered over a multitude of topics, mostly of the day's events. She pulled her silver locket from under her buttondown shirt and gazed at it, pondering. I wonder if I'll ever see Victor again.. she wondered to herself. |
| spy_4_hire Joined: 14 Feb 2004 Posts: 568 | Posted: Wed Aug 17, 2005 9:17 pm | Characters: All for this theme; By spy_4_hire: This theme, Any theme Etta hummed to herself as she placed her trunk at the foot of her bed. The other two girls hadn't arrived yet. 1:11, she thought. He better come or I'll put puss in his boxers... She checked her watch, and sighed. In just a few hours she have that recipe.
"What a big day," Etta flopped onto her bed next to Elise's. Terrestial hooted, and perched himself on her window sill. She dragged herself out of bed, and opened the window to let him out. The barn owl nipped her ear affectionately, and soared out the window and into the night. "So... " she began as she turned to Elise. She desperately wanted to ask her about what was going on between her and Victor, but decided not to pry. "What do you think of school so far? Is it really different?" |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Elise turned over onto her side so that she could see Etta and nodded slightly. "Yeah.. totally different.." she replied, streatching her arms and leaning up. "I mean... coming from a home school, this is a... big difference." Zwolf had woken up as Elise moved and crawled into the girl's lap shortly thereafter. Elise ran her hand down the cat's fur, gently stroking her as she continued. "It should be nice, though. I mean.. it's lonely just sitting at home without anyone else to talk to. Maybe I can make some friends, I hope.." she said, trailing off as her thoughts wandered once more.
Curiousity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back.. So Elise decided to inquire about that note from earlier. "What was that little owl holding earlier? A note? Can I ask what it's about?" |

Then, she frowned slightly when Elise inquired about the note. "Note?" She bounced on her bed a little, and let her hair down so she sould play with it. "Hmm.. oh! That note!! It was from Anthony." She looked at Elise. "You know Anthony Pollux. He turned your hair green earlier. We have..." she hesitated as she tried to find the right words. "A business meeting, I guess that what you'd call it." She blushed slightly, and thought, that didn't sound right at all.
"Anywho," she added quickly. "I want the recipe to one of his potions, and he's willing to give it to me. In return, I have to grant him immunity from my tricks for... half the term... I think..." She paused and shrugged. "I'm meeting him later tonight to settle the deal, and that's it." She twirled her wand between her fingers, and bit her lip. "Now sinve we're exchanging questions... could you answer another one of mine? I mean, you don't have to answer if ytou don't want to, I'm just... curious..." she took a deep breath. "Do you like Victor?" she stressed the word 'like.' "I think it's really cute and all, I mean... it's just... well... I've never seen him smile before..." |

Each step he took echoed up and down the 'tube' of brick and marble. His hands grasped a suit case in each one, his figure nimbly took every step seeming unburdened by the weight of his luggage. Elf lead the way, having been there for as long as Victor had, he knew exactly where to go. He stopped at a picture of a man, his face was overcasted with shadow and in his hands was an open book. The face of the man turned to him and said in a dominant voice, "Ah, Victor, we meet again."
The picture wasn't being talkative, this was just the way it asked for a password. Victor replied in a tone that matched the picture's masterfully, answering the password, "But my soul isn't here." To this, the man nodded, and it swayed open. Elf darted in as soon as he could, lunging from the floor onto the single bed that resided in the room. The reason it was a single room was because after the incident in his first year. After having dealt with the depression and the stares, and looks from other students, he was able to convince Dumbledore to get him a room for himself. There, he could study without being troubled by students pulling pranks, or deciding to insult them. Not to mention how many of them were blasted against walls, or had their teeth grow uncontrollably by the whisk of his wand. As he entered, the painting shut behind him, Elf eyed the room and fell asleep, now feeling it was safe enough to. Victor let the cases set down quietly and leave his grasp beside the bed. He plopped down onto the bed, bringing up a hand to loosen his tie, and undo the top two buttons of his shirt. He then removed his arms from the long, loose sleeves of his robes, and letting it fall onto the bed behind him. He stared into the fire place that burned lowly with his green eye. The orange glow bobbing in the reflection of his optic. 'I wonder if I'll see Elise...' He thought to himself. It was about the only thing going through his mind. The first time in his life he ever put someone over the priority of revenge. 'I wonder what she thinks of me?' He then looked to the floor, a highly elaborated rug was amongst the wooden floor. His eye traced as it gazed upon the patterns of it as his mind wandered about Elise continuously. He couldn't sleep, his figure remained motionless as it sat amongst the bed's soft surface. His eye glanced up over to his desk, still littered with books he had left there from last year he had not finished, there were only three more of them he had to read up on, and he would of finished the library's magic collection. He would of been able to master the last of the spells he wished to learn, and would be definitely able to take on the Centaur. He shook his head, he didn't feel all that keen on the option of studying tonight. He glanced over to his partner, reaching out and giving a light stroke upon it's fur. Elf giving off a light purr and vibration under it's stomach. He let out a sigh escape his domain, then looked to the floor once again... His head quickly snapped up to an idea that came across his mind. He quickly stood and walked himself over to the desk. He opened the drawer from the front of it and grabbed a parchment and a quill. He leaned forward, dipping the quill into the ink bottle and began to scribble on it. He wrote: Want to see me? Follow Elf Yours Truly, V He tore the piece that was written on of the small paper, then rolled it up. He walked over to Elf and gave a low whistle. To this, the cat's ears and head kicked up. He snapped his head over to see his master walking over to him. Victor took the cat into his hands, and slipped the parchment behind the cat's head and under it's dark blue collar. He then whispered a few nothings into the cat's ear, and it darted from his hands. Victor commanded with a snap of his fingers for the door to open, allowing the feline to leave with no flaw in it's stride. Elf knew what to follow, and how to get Elise. The feline had a long-term memory for scents. He ran effortlessly swift through the empty hallways, following the trail of Zwolf's scent to Etta's picture door. Elf then began to scratch at the door, letting a a low meow escape it's throat as it then waited patiently for the door to open. |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Elise's eyes widened slightly as her face regained that burning feeling. "Wha... what a stupid question..." she said, struggling to avoid it. "I mean.. really... I--" There was a sudden meow at the door to the Ravenclaw common room. Zwolf's ears perked up quickly, and she darted for the door, clawing on the portrait door. Elise ran after her and picked her up, scolding her. "Y'know.. I try to keep you out of trouble..." she began, opening the door. Her cerulean eyes glanced down to see Elf. "ELF?!" she nearly shouted, but cupped her hand over her mouth as she caught herself. Stepping out of the door and into the hallway quietly, she knelt down and took the note from Elf's collar and read it.
"Follow.. Elf...?" she questioned aloud to no one in particular. Elf meowed, almost happily, and began to trot off, almost as if he knew Elise's decision. She began to follow Elf, hoping the cat would keep her out of trouble. |

'Good job Elf!' He thought to himself with excitement. He snapped his fingers again to allow the door to swing open, and Elf rushed in quickly and cuddled his master's leg.
Victor knelt down and placed a small portion of the food he managed to secretly 'snatch' from the table. Giving a pat onto Elf's head for accomplishing his mission. He stood straight and wiped his hands off, swiping them together. Then letting them rest to his sides as he glanced up to see Elise. He gestured for her to come in and spoke out in a humble tone, "Elise, please do come in!" He walked over to the door quickly and put a hand behind her arm, and lightly guided her in, giving aother snap of his fingers with his free hand to shut the door behind them. He then scratched the back of his head and nervously spoke out, thinking about what she might do after what he did to her before they parted after the Sorting. "Um, welcome to my place! Heh..." |
