I always thought my name was sort of mundane.. but thanks, Victor." When Victor placed his feline companion upon the seat, she looked down at it and smiled, scratching its chin. Animals were really the only companions Elise had, and trusted, in this world. Zwolf crawled over Elise's lap, almost jealous, and rubbed against her chest, purring loudly as it seemingly glared at Elf.
Elise heaved a sigh, closing her cerulean eyes as she leaned her head back. At last the train had left the station and was on its way to Hogwarts. "I really hope I fit in here.." she sighed. "I tend to get into fights alot. But it's never my fault... of course..." she said, trailing off at the last bit. The girl tugged on the bottom of her shirt. It was a button up dress shirt with different shades of blue striped down it vertically. It was wrinkled and lazily worn; many of the buttons had not been placed in their proper holes. A silver and blue necktie snaked it's way around her neck, messily tied. Elise looked down at her jeans as Zwolf's tail tickled her chin. She picked at the holes in her jeans, the trinkets on her wrist jingling lightly as the train rattled. |

Etta rubbed her head and then looked at the rock that landed in her lap. She opened the note. "Thanks,"she mumbled and frowned. "For what?" She let her hair down and then pinned it up again. She felt uneasy. Artemis graduated, so why was he back at Hogwarts. Was he teaching? Her heart fluttered a bit. She had had a bit of a crush on him while he went to school, and well, he was a bit of a role model. She then felt a little worried. She looked at James.
"Are you ok, Dizzy?" she asked, as she let her hair down again, and put it back up. "Dizzy," she began again without waiting for an answer. "Do you think he ever figured out why he kept bursting into a fit of giggles everytime he talked to a girl on the last day of school?" It had been one of her best pranks. She had slipped a potion of her own creation into his drink at breakfast that would cause the drinker to giggle uncontrollably if he/she talked to anyone of the opposite sex. Unfortunately, it went a tad wrong, and not only did Artemis giggle uncontrollably, but purple spots popped up all over his skin! Well, Etta thought it was hilarious and didn't worry about cosequences, since she thought she would never see Artemis again. However, Fate had decided that thier paths should cross again. |

"AGH!" James yelled. Whipping out his wand, he shouted the first spell that came into his head. "Wingardium Leviosa!" he said, performing a swish and flick motion that stopped the item's fall. Dizzy took a quick glance at it as he threw it out the window. He saw a small green marker dot on the end of it. It had been his. Dizzy could guess that Artemis hadn't lost his game. "Everyone, do the Bubblehead Charm..." he said, suddenly realizing what was gonna come. "This is gonna be bad..." |

His green eye looked up at her, narrowed as to what she was saying, nodding his head to her words. As she made the remark about her name, he spoke out quietly to her, but his voice was still strong from within as he complimented, "I believe your name fits you well..."
As to her next explanation, he tilted his head to one side, feeling the small kick of gravity that the train gave off as the train began to move. He let out a small chuckle as from hearing what she said, "I'm sure you will. And even if it doesn't work out, you could be like me and do things yourself..." He leaned back, he was starting to become more relaxed around this girl. He had never been so laid-back before in his life, let alone with another person. As for his cat, he stared holes into Zwolf, not leaving Elise's companion out of his sights. Victor looked down to notice his interest, so he reached into the pocket of his black robe, removing a ball of yarn and throwing it down onto the floor of the cabin. His feline's attention was quickly grabbed, and he whisked through the air, dig his claws and teeth into the yarn ball before it even came into contact with the ground. Victor's eyes remained staring at the cat's figure, his smile remaining as he became somewhat entertained by his cats actions as it fondled about with the yarn ball. But even more so, he was more interested in the beautiful girl. Though he did not realize himself why she would sit with him... |

She still felt agitated because she wasn't positive why Artemis was returning to Hogwarts. The pleasure of playing with her hair was denied her at the moment, so she had to make do with tugging on the hem of her T-shirt.
She let her eyes wonder around the compartment. She had been looking forward to the day when both the Weasley twins, and Artemis were gone. There had been Prankster Kings for too long, Hogwarts was way overdue for a Queen. While the boys were in school it seemed like she could never quite surpass them, no matter how many pranks she pulled. Filch's record on her took up one and a half boxes, and he had confiscated a small fortune's worth of jokes and other "forbidden items." Etta however still got away with a lot of her jokes. Etta blamed the fact that it was a male dominated society, and that the world simply was not ready to accept the idea that a girl could outprank a guy. Etta sighed, looked at her trunk and smiled. No matter, she thought smugly. There is no way anyone can out prank me this year. I've planned for this all summer. |

Of all the stupid things to happen to him, why couldn't they have gone somewhere else? And that Japanese guy, what was the deal with him?
"Oh, hey Dizzy" said Anthony in his everyday, tired sounding voice. |

She didn't blame him, she pranked him mercilessly for the past few years. It wasn't her fault he was in Slytherine, and a walking target. She kept an eye on his hands, remembering how sticky they could be. She stroked her owl and smiled innocently. "Hello, Anthony. Have a nice holiday?" |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Zwolf's eyes darted to that ball of yarn, tracking it as Elf lept upon it and tackled it onto the floor. The cat watched intentely for a minute or two, but soon lost interest and laid down in Elise's lap, purring. Elise chuckled lightly as she watched Elf wrestle with the ball of yarn. She turned to look at him when Victor made his suggestion. "Alone...?" she asked, slightly bewildered. "Hnn... Well... I don't really know. I guess I'll just have to see what happens, I suppose." she finished, streatching her arms up over her head, shortly returning her left hand to stroke Zwolf, sitting the other on her thigh.
"So.. you said you don't like talking to strangers, and had the door locked...", she began, curious, "...but you let me in to talk to you... Why's that?", she finished, grinning slyly. |

It was true, she was quite the prankster, but no better than he was a thief. In fact, Anthony took his revenge in every subtle way he could. The missing Galleons, the dissolving clothes he sent her every holiday (of course, with no name other than "secret admirer"), and no one forgot how she woke up one day with a bed-head that wouldn't quit for days. But nobody knew he did such things, and nobody ever would. When it came to pranks, Anthony was in it for the psychological impact, not the recognition. "I can't say my holiday wasn't without its perks," Anthony continued reflectively. "By the by, is that a dungbomb?" |

He was going to get cornered, he knew it in his mind. He then snapped his head back to his cat , he thought of something, but he wasn't sure it was going to persuade her. He parted his lips and began to speak out nervously. "Err, um... Well, I thought... that..." He shook his head, and cracked the knuckles of his digits out of habit, "I thought my cat would like a friend to play with... Yeah, that's it."
He then smiled reassuringly to Elise. His gave a glance at her face and realized. She was too pretty to lie to. He gulped again and then took a deep breath, filling his lungs with air and then letting out a big heave of air. "Well... No, it isn't that..." He said, but then stopped his words. He couldn't just blab out 'I love you' or whatever to her, she'd probably flip out and leave the cabin. So he just sat back into his chair, looking away again in his shyness and said to her, "Nevermind... Sorry..." He gestured his hand as if he wanted her to ignore him from his words. He then brought up his foot to prop it up on the knee of his other leg. The humming of the engine filled the room, and the shuffling sound flew through the air from the gears of the train's wheels. |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | James narrowed his eyes again when Anthony walked in. He wasn't particularly fond of this Slytherin...Dizzy hadn't forgotten when Anthony stole his wallet last year, and almost his wand, too. He put the bubblehead charm on himself. Giving a sort of "ixnay" look to the other members of the car, he spoke to Anthony.
"Hello, Anthony," he said casually. "No, I didn't see a dungbomb. We were just practicing our bubblehead charms, Flitwick hinted there might be a test near the start of term on them." He had to try really hard to keep a straight face, but managed. If he was right about Artemis, then he didn't want Anthony to be fume free. He kept a hand near his wand, Anthony was quite adept at picking pockets, close or at a small distance... |

When he got to the front, he decided to remove his sunglasses, allowing a powerful illusion which he'd cast upon himself earlier to do the disguising for him. For all appearances, he looked like a young Japanese male, although one who'd perhaps just returned from Kendo practice. He looked in the window of one of the first-row compartments, and spotted the German girl he'd met earlier, as well as a boy who looked older than her. While he had not had any personal run-ins or conversations with this boy, he recognized him and Artemis supposed he was a seventh year, as he was quite sure that he was older than Dizzy and the rest. He looked at his watch and surmised that there was still about five, maybe seven minutes before the fun began. He smiled and knocked on the door, hoping they would let him in.
"Excuse me," Artemis said, still in his perfect Japanese accent, "I am new student and the others are being mean. Can you be a nice person and let me sit in here?" At the very least, he'd be able to learn more about a probably student of his. If he was lucky, he might be able to plant a sneezing candy -- inspired by the Ton-Tongue Toffees and other such joke candies that the Weasly twins had introduced. |
| Eshe Joined: 14 Nov 2003 Posts: 485 | Elise watched Victor struggle for words, slightly perplexed. When she saw him turn away, waving his hand, she smiled weakly and nodded. "I think I know what you mean..." she began, quietly. "It does get kinda lonely... and everything." The girl continued stroking Zwolf's head, smiling as he purred softly. "Even still, Elf seems to be quite content with--" she began, but was interrupted suddenly.
Elise looked up, wide-eyed when she saw the Japanese man from just a few minutes ago. She backed away from the door, bumping into Victor slightly as her hair fell from her shoulders to touch his chest. "Wha... it's... that..." she stammered, pointing. Elise eyed the strange man hesitantly before standing up after putting a groggy Zwolf down upon the seat. She pulled her wand from a hole in her jeans and whispered 'alohamora', and a golden glow sprang forth from the lock. The girl opened the door a crack to hear him speaking in broken english. Well, Elise thought, at least I'm not the only one with an accent here. "Sure.. come in.." she said, shrugging as she opened the door. After the man had entered, she took her place beside Victor again, petting Zwolf as he moved to his place on her lap once more. |
| Odakira Joined: 9 Jul 2005 Posts: 412 | Posted: Wed Aug 10, 2005 5:04 pm | Characters: All for this theme; By Odakira: This theme, Any theme When she bumped into him, he felt his feet fall asleep, and his heart skipped another beat. A cold sweat began to wash over his face and forehead as he slowly turned to look at the Japanese student. He jumped slightly again as he became lost and felt Elise move away from her, seeing her stand and unlock the door for the man. He was awfully tall for a 6th year student. He sensed something wasn't right, but then again, if there was, he could whisk something from his wand in no time.
As Elise sat back down beside him, he caught a smell of her perfume, the aroma was intoxicating to his senses, and caused him to space out somewhat. When the Japanese man took a seat in front of him on the other side of the cabin, he shook his head out of the trance, and glanced at him with his eye. Studying his figure. Indeed he was strange... |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | "No, i'm pretty sure that was a dungbomb," Anthony said with all the enthusiasm of a corpulent troll. "And judging from the bubbleheads it's going to explode. How nice..."
A dungbomb, Anthony had never been caught by one of those, ever. How he managed to escape such things was a family trade secret, at least, that's what he told anyone who asked. However, the real secret was just to be prepared for anything and everything. For instance, Anthony thought as he reached for his pocketed belt where he kept many a potion for every occasion, dungbombs have a specific smell. Now, counter that stench with a perfect opposite and you have fresh air with a hint of lemon. Scent potions were Anthony's speciality... |
