[Mysterium Tremendum]

With the mouse stowed safely in his pocket, Aiden stood up as the train entered the final stretch to the embarking point. Stretching his legs and arms as he saw the other students getting out of their seats and booths, Aiden quickly joined the crowd and began walking up the aisle of the train. As he neared the exit, Aiden paid less attention to where he was walking and his mind began going over as many details as he could, "If they decide to sort me again, will the Sorting Hat recognize that its me? No; My mind's changed much since last year and I'm pretty sure that I can fool it. I won't have to worry if they decide to sort me by hand. They'll probably also want to question me to see what magic I know and if I'm really in my 3rd year" Aiden flashed back to reality for a second to see that he had just taken the last step off the train, "My real problems should be those people that humiliated me on the train, I'll have to find a way to deal with them. Perhaps my DM book will help me with that. I'll also need to be super careful, this adds to my problem of being discovered. Not only will I be hiding from those that knew me well last year but I'll also need to be careful of anything I drink and eat and stay alert in case they try to poison or curse me for almost killing that stupid cat!" Aiden fumed in his mind, "The next time I see those stupid cats I'm killing them straight away!"Aiden silently fumed before resuming his thinking, "My new look should be enough to fool those that knew me before, but if my parents being caught as Dark Wizards was spread wide and its been made known that they had a son... then I'll have to make absolutely certain that nobody can make the connection to me. If that happens, its all over." Aiden finished thinking just as he'd walked a couple of feet from the train.

Blushing, Gabes hair turned a bright shade of pink as Hammish lent in and kissed him soflty on the lips. Smiling against Hammish's lips Gabe closed his eyes, only opening them when he felt Hammish pull away from him. Sitting back Gabe grinned his lopsided smile, as he pulled Hammish in against his chest, breathing in his scent. His cheeks and hair dying down a shade or two from their bright pink state. 'Hammish?' Gabe paused. Opening his mouth he, tried again. 'Ham-Hammish, I uhm I' Shaking his head Gabe blushed again. 'sorry, I just, Im glad your here.' Gabe smiled, his cheeks and hair blazzing bright pink.

[Skarlet]

Hammish giggled irreplerisvely and placed his hand on the boy's thigh. "And I'm glad to be here with you. You're the real magic here, Gabe." He looked out of the window, wondering how it was the carriages moved by themselves, he'd never quite figured it out, but he wasn't too interested in the long run. He turned back to Gabe with a smile to the romatically awkward young man. Hammish thought it was amazingly cute, he loved it. It was probably Hammish' favorite one of his boyfriend's many alluring qualities.

[DuckyTC]

Looking down at his lap as the other boy placed his hand there, Gabes cheeks flushed darker, as his hair started to turn aqua again. Smiling, he chuckled nervously as he listened to his boyfriends accent and tried to memoirise the sound of every letter in every word. Sighing, he nodded 'I really dont think so.' Gabe paused. 'I just dont know how to explain it but im just glad to have a best friend like you.' He smiled. Sitting in silence Gabe enjoyed every second as they sat in the carriage getting pulled along under the dark sky, home to the magestic stars. Though not as amazing nor near as beautiful as the boy sitting in his arms.

[Skarlet]

"Best friend?" The boy asked feeling slightly downcast, it was obvious to Hammish that there was more to their relationship then that, but he was starting to wonder if maybe Gabe didn't feel comfortable with it. he loved the boy with absolutely all of his heart. He turned to look out the window to conceal that he was holding back tears. He hated this feeling like nothing else. He was questioning the validity of the relationship that meant the world to him. the boy breathed a loud sigh.

[DuckyTC]

'Hammish?' Gabe asked cocking his head to the side, hearing the other boys sad sigh. Reaching down, Gabe turned Hammish's face towards him. 'Hammish?' He asked, seeing that his boyfriend had tears in his eyes. 'Why are you crying?' Gabe asked softly as he pulled Hammish to sit on his lap. Nuzzling into Hammish's neck, Gabe smiled against his skin. 'Come on, you know you can tell me. You can talk to me about anything. I mean come on, we are closer than most friends.' Gabe joked hinting at their relationship. He still was convinced it all was a dream, so he still wasnt fully used to saying it out loud. Running his fingures through Hammish's red hair, Gabe planted small soft kisses on his neck. 'I love you so much' He whispered barely loud enough for himself to hear, never mind the other boy.

[Skarlet]

Hammish smiled an "It's all okay now" smile. "It's fine now love, I was just... I was being stupid." He said with an eager grin as he stared into Gabe's blue eyes, which grew slightly lighter. He could see his confusion-yellowed hair returning to it's natural brown. Hammish felt like a fool for questioning his love. The pulled himself in as close as he could, knowing he was loved and feeling so glad that in this, in his own words, magical boy adored him so. "I love you Gabriel." He said with a sligh smile. He didn't know if it really bugged the boy or not but he always found it great for lightening the mood, calling Gabe by his full name.

[DuckyTC]

Pulling a face, and pretending to push Hammish off his lap at hearing his full name, Gabe smiled his hair turning orange to mirror the mood inside. As he playfully punched the other boys shoulder. 'Good, you had better' Gabe smiled winking as he turned his head to look back out the window, he could see the castle now. His hair turned a bright shade of purple as he thought back on the times he had in the castle. He simply couldnt wait to get back to school, to see all his friends, and even attend his classes. Turning back to face Hammish Gabe was still grinning like a total idiot, as he reached down and took his boyfriends hand.

  On 8/19/2010 at 2:47 AM, Skarlet said:

((I think a lot of it's on a person-to-person basis, I for instance love the color red, I doubt it'd be my angry color))

 

"His robes were pure black..." The gears of his mind started to grind "But he's way to tall to be a first year..." Tenacity found this odd. Very odd. Sure a student could transfer, but normally they'd probably turn up to thier first time here sorted already. Or atleast that's what Tenacity figured. "Ofcourse, how many cat murderers would you place outside of Slytherin?" He asked, not even rhetorically, but simply trying to provide the proper answer to Selene's question, She wondered what the orange in her hair meant, but thought it might be rude to ask.

((I quoted this to make it easier for response))

 

Selene walked in to the castle with Tenacity. "Yeah, you're probably right," she mused. "There's something strange about him, I just don't know... he said that he would be sorted this year because he's a third year but he transferred." she shrugged. "Well anyways... I'm starving..." she added.

They walked into the entrance hall and then into the great hall and sat down at the table. McGonagall stood up and gave the usual announcements, "Might I remind all that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to students without supervision, and even then it's highly unlikely that we'll take you in there if it isn't necessity! The usual magical mischief items are off limits and..."

((you wanna finish the rest of hte speech, Skarlet?))

[The True Ace Attorney]

Coming up to the castles entrance, Elena slipped her wand away and headed through the entrance hall and into the main hall. Finding a seat at the Ravenclaw table, she sat down and took a look around. Throughout the few hundred students that were currently seated at their houses respective tables, she was the only one not dressed in her school robes. Thanking whatever force that disallowed points to be deducted before terms actually started, Elena sighed and set her head on the great wooden table and waited for the sorting to pass and the feast to start.

[Mysterium Tremendum]

As Aiden exited the train and walked with the other students toward the school gates. Just as Aiden entered the main gate, he heard a, "Boy, you, come here for a moment". Aiden stopped and looked to the side from where he heard the call and saw a man standing a few feet away. Aiden briefly searched his memory and remembered the man as Professor O'Keller, the potions master, standing with his hand outstretched to Aiden. Aiden quickly walked over to the professor and stopped in front. Professor O'Keller spoke once more, "I've been informed that you claim that this will not be your first year studying magic." The professor spoke in a monotone voice, "To verify your claim, I've been asked to give you a quick examination that will test what you've learned from your previous classes and how well you can convert to the Hogwarts curriculum." Aiden's mind did a backflip and he immediately started panicking, "GREAT! Now I need to pass this just to maintain my cover. Things just keep going from bad to worse. Just my luck." Aiden didn't let his panic show luckily and even though his smile faltered for a moment, he nodded his head and followed the Professor to a small room a few feet from where they'd been speaking. Aiden sat down in the chair in the middle of the room and listened as Professor O'Keller gave the instructions, "The test will consist of a few questions from each mandatory subject here at Hogwarts, Transfiguration, Potions, DADA, Charms, and Herbology that most schools teach to their first and second year students. It shouldn't be hard and I expect you to finish in 15 - 20 minutes with a 97 or better." The professor finished the instructions and slapped the paper down on Aiden's desk, "You may begin."

[Skarlet]

((I'll just skip over the speach because honestly I'm really not good at stuff like that, also note, this isn't powerplaying when I control Gabe, it's been pre-discussed that he would do exactly what I'll have him do, it's just that Ducky didn't have time to post it.))

 

Tenacity sat beside Selene and listened to the Headmistress' speach.It was a long, drawn-out one. She made a point of adressing the behaviour of various students on the train, although not by name, leaving thier houses booing loudly, not wanting to start the year with a handicap. The furious students boos soon turned to cheers though, as the sorting ceremony began. The vast majority of students this year being placed in Hufflepuff house. Tenacity, using his 'eye for quality' scanned the new students. "Any future Quidditch champions do you think?" he asked Selene slyly with just a touch of ego. He wasn't too concieted, but there was an arogance there.

 

--------------------------------------------------------

~Earlier~

Gabe was first to climb from the carriage, his hair turning purple with happiness, the duo had arrived home. He extended his hand back into the carriage. It was taken by the smaller blushing boy, who with the help of his boyfriend, left the carriage. The pair continued hand-in-hand toward the castle, there were a few laughs, but there were also a few sicear "Awwh"s They were probably among Hogwarts' first open gay couples, and there was a sense of pride in that for Hammish, who was glad he was who he was and that he could appriciate and love someone like Gabe.

 

~Present~

The boys sat together not too far down from Tenacity and Selene. Hammish' mind was hardly on quidditch. It was on the new year here, and what this place would hold for He and Gabriel. He saw the new students getting sorted, he was reminded of when he was thier age. Reminded of how daunting it was to sit down on that stool infront of the entire school and have your character explained to them all, to know thier judgment, even if it was silent. But then, he remembered the relief that came when you were finally sorted and your house - your family - erupted into welcoming cheers. It made you feel loved and wanted. The same feeling Hammish felt when he was in Gabe's arms.

 

"Gryffindor!" Gabe's hair turned blue as they welcomed the new girl. She was smiling from ear to ear. Tenacity was applauding too. The girl was lithe and seemed to have just a touch of muscle. Tenacity noticed that she looked a touch like Selene, although her hair remained a stationary strawberry blonde. "Y'know, I think she's gonna be gunning for your spot before we're out of here?" He said jokingly.

[Mysterium Tremendum]

Aiden worked diligently on the test, drawing from almost every class he'd taken in the past year. After 14 minutes, Aiden answered the final Herbology question regarding where to find Mandrake roots and how their grown (Just added a random question) and handed the paper to Professor O'Keller. Aiden then paced the floor for 3 minutes and finally heard the paper being put down by Professor O'Keller. Aiden, not visibly, held his breath. "Outstanding, 98 percent, and with 1 minute before my predicted deadline." Professor O'Keller put the paper down and showed it to Aiden. "The opening sorting should be almost over soon, I suggest you hurry to the main hall." Aiden looked up and smiled, "Thanks professor." Aiden bolted for the exit and ran as fast as he could.

 

The sorting was down to the last few students and Aiden jumped into the end of what remained of the crowd. When Aiden looked up at who was being sorted at the moment, Aiden's eyes were met with the boy that he'd seen on the train with the other boy and the boy that the Slytherins had insulted and called them "Boyfriends" Aiden smiled, "Probably something to take note of." Aiden soon heard McGonagall stop calling names for a moment and speak something different.

 

McGonagall paused before speaking, "This next student is a new transfer from overseas. It will be his 3rd year studying magic but it will be his first year doing so in Hogwarts: Aiden Celestine."

 

Aiden walked up to the chair at the center of the room and felt the tenseness permeate the room. Aiden sat down just as the sorting hat was put on his head.

 

The Sorting hat immediately began speaking, "Hmmm.....difficult, quite difficult..... but also familiar. If I didn't know better I'd say that I've examined this mind before... but several things are different. The intelligence seems to be similar to one that I've examined previously, though much keener. The frame of mind is also completely different: The boy I examined previously was wise and witty, you on the other hand seem to be more cunning and.... your mind is much darker and more ambitious than him. Would you happen to have a brother?" Aiden quickly shut his mind to the Sorting hat, thinking of a blank page. "Hmmm... It seems you also are able to shut your mind. How very resourceful of you." The Sorting Hat paused, "Very well than, your mind is almost perfect for......Slytherin!!" Aiden heard a cheer ring from the Slytherin table and as soon as the Sorting Hat left his head, Aiden's head ringed with joy as he got up and marched over to the Slytherin Table.

[Skarlet]

Tenacity glared at the boy as he was sorted, then let out a sarcastic ghasp. "Slytherine! Shocking! I thought he'd be here with us!" Tenacity said, his eyes gleaming with a desire for revenge for what the boy did to Selene's cat and what he would probably have done to Joslyn if he had been given the chance. Tenacity glared as he the boy made his way to his fellows he was filled with a rage that he didn't even want to control, but he masked it, tightly gripping his goblet and humming the tune of the Hogwart's school anthem.

[DarkAngel787]

*previous (speech)*

"...and I'd liek to welcome our new Charms teacher, Professor Angelique!" McGonagall finished with a smile. She swept her hands towards the new professor.

So this was the new professor, Selene thought. She looked nice enough. She met the flourish with a ready wave and smile, but didn't stand up. Not too pretentious.

"What do you think of her off the bat?" she asked Tenacity as the sorting began.

 

*present*

Selene laughed and her hair turned blonde again; she actually felt quite comfortable around Tenacity. "Yeah, I know, quite a shocker..." she watched as the hat was placed on a bunch of other small first-years, yelling intermittent shouts of "GRYFFINDOR! or SLYTHERIN! or HUFFLEPUFF! and RAVENCLAW!"

[Skarlet]

((Common sense dictates that gay guys probably aren't effected by Veela charm, so here goes nothing))

 

Past

Almost all of the male students, and a very small minority of the female ones in the hall had thier eyes glued to professor Angelique. two of the few boys who could take thier eyes off the teacher, who, not to thier knowledge, was a Veela. They'd been captivated by the veela charm. Hammish, on the other hand, wasn't effected. He could appriciate the appearance of the attractive, French woman, but he was, after all, gay. He didn't feel the slightest hint of compulision and he shot Gabe a "What's so special about her?" kind of look.

 

Tenacity on the other hand was utterly mesmerised for a moment, but pulled his eyes away when the rest of the crowd did, as Angelique released her hold over the assembly. Tenacity shook his head wondering what had just come over him and wondering why he still felt so attracted. It wasn't like him to feel so drawn to anyone, particularly a woman years his elder, who wasn't usually his type. "She's...really...pretty." He said awkwardly, feeling strange. Tenacity turned and refocused on Selene with an appologetic look on his face.

 

 

Present

Tenacity beemed at the metamorphmagus, only really caring to look away when he heard the hat roar the name of noble house Gryffindor. They had a good deal of students here, second to hufflepuff so far. Tenacity saw as a first year girl's hair changed color subtlely. "More competition for you I guess..." He joked to Selene. There were quite a few metamorphmagi around these days. Tenacity guessed it was just that over time a few of them had had multiple children and they'd had expanding family since.

[DarkAngel787]

*meshing past with present*

 

Selene glanced at him, slightly concerned with what he had said about Angelique. "Wait...wh...well, nevermind..." she said, wondering why Tenacity had said that about Angelique.

She shook her head vehemently, her hair turning bright pink to the looks of all students around her. The feast had begun, now that the Sorting was finished. Why would she care, if he had said that about Angelique?

 

"Yeah, more competition..." She focused on what Tenacity was saying now and her hair turned back to normal.

[The True Ace Attorney]

Sitting on the Ravenclaw table, Elena was able to see both the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tables. Along with all the students sat at them whether they be boy or girl, short or tall, had brown hair or pink... Pink hair? That's not right. Climbing over the Ravenclaw table, much to the dismay of some students whom Elena pushed away, she sat on the other side and observed the girl on the Gryffindor table. Her hair wasn't pink any more. Prodding the girls back to get her attention, Elena whispered loudly, "How do you do that with your hair?".

[Aesirson]

((Erinyes disappeared? Oh well, I'll asume that Lex woke up by a dragon that attacked the trainhimself.))

 

Lex, who were busy greeting a couple of first-years who sat down at the Ravenclaw table, interrupted his current actions and looked at Elena, who were now sitting next to him. A first-year girl, who were just about to place herself where Elena was now sitting expressed her disappointment with a "Bloody..." but then quickly took a seat at another place on the Ravenclaw table. Lex forced his eyes away from the Veela and looked at the metamorphmagus that she was looking at. He wasn't the most knowing wizard when it came to different kinds of shapeshifters, altough he was one himself, but he knew that the girl was a metamorphmagus. He was just about to answer the Veela's question but lost himself just looking at her instead.

[DarkAngel787]

Selene looked up, surprised, and recognized the girl from what she hd seen earlier on the train.

"Oh...er...was it that obvious?" her hair turned pink again. "Sorry...I'm a metamorphmagus, and my hair changes either when I want it to along with other aspects of my appearance, or when I feel strongly about an emotion...I'm Selene, who're you?" she asked politely, introdducing herself properly. "You're in Ravenclaw, right?"

Obviously, she thought. The girl had just come from the table. Duh.

[The True Ace Attorney]

"I'm Elena and of course I'm in Ravenclaw. Or am I?" Elena gave an unnecessary hand wave as though she was trying to be rather poorly mystical. "Anyway," she continued, "is it only your hair? Because that seems rather limited. Not exactly useful, especially as it forces you to show your emotions, whether or not they're meant to be secret.". Finishing, she drew breath and looked at the boy sitting next to her. "You're that Australian guy aren't you? I've been wondering though. If you're Australian, why have you been at this school since first year? I mean, why move?"

[DarkAngel787]

"There aren't any schools in Australia especially noteable..." explained Selene for him. Then she realized that Tenacity wasn't Australian, and that Elena was talking to Lex. "Oops, sorry, I thought you were...well, never mind...sorry..." her hair turned pink. She hurried to answer Elena's question, "And no, its not limited to my hair, i can change the color of my skin, eyes, and even make my face resemble an animal...though I'm not really sure I want to right now..." she looked around, an then looke dback towards Elena, making her eyes change from gray to blue to green to black to brown and then to gray again. She made her nose transform into a duck's, then back again quickly. "That's what I can do," she said, making her skin turn the color of an asian's, then back.

[Aesirson]

Lex didn't notice that she was talking to him until a second or two after that she actually said something.

"Oh! My parents are muggles, and I actually moved here before 'the letter'." He said, hoping that he wouldn't be 'flamed', since he was muggleborn. "And my accent is not THAT distinctive, is it?" He then said and sounded a bit worried, but he then realized that they ahd been in the same year and house for five years, she may have picked some information up during that time, and his accent was surely not as British in the beginning.

[The True Ace Attorney]

"Wow..." said Elena, looking at Selene's eyes. "That was like a kaleidoscope. Truly wonderful. Except that duck thing. That was odd..." Turning to Lex, she continued, "So you're muggle-born. Cool. And the accent... Have you seen that TV show 'House'? There's an Australian guy on that show so I know the accent. Though, to be honest, it took me some time to realise it." Realising that she hadn't actually introduced herself, she sighed heavily and extended hands to Selene and Lex. "I think I should actually introduce myself formally. I'm Elena, it's a pleasure to actually speak to you both."

[DarkAngel787]

"Thanks!" Selene's hair tunred a little pink when Elena called the duck thing odd; she was rather embarassed everytime she transformed partway into an animal. She shrugged it off. "Well anyways...are you anything interesting?" she cringed at her choice of words, her hair turning pink again. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean--i mean, you'd be interesting enough without an ability but do you..." she gestured at her hair again and colored visibly. "Sorry...I didn't mean that..."
