Seb walked in the dorm room, holding the door open for Cien.

"You know, I think the room has been decorated again." He said to her, as she walked in. "I need to feet Tua and check on the mini Drags... Don't want paint on them..."

Seb crouched beside his bed and make sure they were ok, then pulled out some food from a container and fed Tua.

Cien walked in after Seb and looked around, "Yeah, House Elfs must have cleaned the place while we were gone. Looks brand new."

She flopped on a bed.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:08 PM

"Yeah." Seb said, as he took of his watch and lay down on his bed. He fluffed up his pillow and placed his arms behind his head.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 6 2003, 11:09 PM

Cien sat up, "Right, there's got to be something we can do. I'm all restless after that Potion."

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:12 PM

Seb stared up at his canopy. "You... will lay down and rest. I cant.. STRESS... how much you need rest." He yawned.

"We don't do much anyway, so you're not exactly missing out on anything." He stated, as he flicked some hair from his eyes.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 6 2003, 11:20 PM

Cien glanced around the room, trying to find something to do. If anything, that potion had de-stressed her and made her more restless.

"There's gotta be some kind of game we can play, I hear the Ravenclaws are really into this new game '20 Questions'."

Posted by: Onastacia Dupree Aug 6 2003, 11:22 PM

*Onastacia Dupree came into the boys dorm and said-"Hello am I allowed here?"-

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:28 PM

"Sure whatever." He said to the new person who came in.

"20 questions? And, how does that work? You ask me 20 questions?" Seb closed his eyes.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 6 2003, 11:34 PM

"Hi," Cien greeted the new girl cheerfully, "You can come in."

Cien got up and started jumping on the bed she was sat on, bored. "I don't know how to play it, just its name. I'll have to ask."

She continued to bounce on the beds, still restless.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:36 PM

Seb sighed. "Cien. Will you please stop that? You need to rest for heavens sakes."

He locked his jaw as she continued to jump on her bed, then opened his eyes only so he could roll them. With a small shake of his head, he turned on his side, his back to her and once more yawned.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 6 2003, 11:39 PM

"I'm restless, I need something to take my energy out on." Cien said, sitting down on the bed as he turned his back to her.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:44 PM

"Do homework, read a book, draw, take up a new hobby, learn a new language, i'm sure they'll tired you out." He muttered.

Alright for some, he thought, he'd been awake most of the night, worrying, althought he knew Cien would be made better with one gulp of a potion. That, and the fact he carried her all the way from the dungeons, to the hospital wing tired him out.

"If you're that desperate, do MY homework."

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 6 2003, 11:48 PM

Cien sighed, "You're tired, I can tell. And I'm not helping one bit."
She pulled her hair away from her face and held it with a clip she found in her pocket.

"You should sleep, it will do you a world of good." She said, smiling slightly. "I'll leave if you need peace and quiet...?"

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 6 2003, 11:51 PM

"I won't be able to sleep. I'm overtired, I'll just have to wait for the tiredness to come back naturally." He said. "And I don't want you to leave, I just want you to rest so you can get better."

He let out a quick blast of breath and rolled to face her again. Getting up, he grabbed a piece of parchment, the note he had wrote last night, and headed to the door.

"Going to post this. I'll be back in a moment or two."

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 12:06 AM

Cien nodded, lying back on the bed she was on.

I need to de-stress. Easier said than done. It's hard to de-stress when you've got an evil Grandma who's constantly in your thoughts no matter how hard you try to ignore her.

Her eyes flickered over to the window where the moonlight was shining in through a crack in the curtains. She prefered night to day, but that was probably mostly because she was part Vampire.

I will go to Seb's and She won't get me there.

Yeah, you keep telling yourself that.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 12:14 AM

Seb walked back in, frowning. Just lately, the frown was saw a lot more on his face than his usual smile. With a huff he fell onto his bed, and pulled out his Astronomy homework.

"The notes sent. They now know you're coming to stay. I expect they'll get out all the polished silver and china plates." He said sarcastically, thinking of his parents. "You'll be able to cut the tension with the specially designed hallmarked butter knife."

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 12:20 AM

Cien looked up as Seb came in, he was frowning, again. It made her wonder just what was on that note he had sent to his parents. Come to think of it, during her whole stay at Hogwarts she'd never seen Seb recieve a letter, not once.

"The notes sent. They now know you're coming to stay. I expect they'll get out all the polished silver and china plates."

They're as bad as her. She thought bitterly, Just in a different way.

"You'll be able to cut the tension with the specially designed hallmarked butter knife."

For some reason, I'm guessing that this isn't a new thing to him.

She slipped off the bed she was currently sat on and sat on Seb's bed, pulling him into a hug. "I'm sure it won't be that bad." She couldn't say much else, having never encountered this problem before.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 12:32 AM

"Yeah, you're right." He said into her shoulder as she hugged him, "It probably won't be that bad."

If thoughts could had noses, a voice in his head said, I would be snorting by now.

He pulled out of the hug.

"I think I better, you know, tell you about how they live, so you don't get shocked. Firstly, they don't call me Seb. It's Sebastian. Even if I'm close to the salt, they'll ask someone else to pass it, or get it themselves. If I ask them a question, It'll be a one word answer mainly." He paused to think. "Though when it comes to you, oh they'll be social, so don't you worry about that, ok? And no, they don't care about you being a vampire. Mothers best friends brother is one."

Seb scratched his head, then pushed his hair from his eyes. "And if you mention me, listen out for the quiet 'hmph' they'll do under their breath. Quite amusing actually." He told her, though there was no sign of amusement on his face.

"Oh, and be careful of the door, i'll show you which when we arrive. It likes to shut in your face."

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 12:40 AM

Cien listened quietly as Seb told her all the things that were considered perfectly 'normal' in his house. She didn't allow any emotions to cross her face, not really knowing whether Seb would want pity or not.

I guess we both come from horribble backgrounds...

She had the impulse to hug him again but resisted, letting him finish what he was saying first, she owed him that. With each passing word she hurt more and more.

It's going to kill him when the baby's born. I just hope he'll let me try and rebuild him.

When he finished talking they sat in perfect silence for a while, both sat on his bed, a small distance between them since Seb had pulled out of the hug.

She'd do anything for him, she just hoped he'd let her.

"Well we're just going to have to create some happy memories at the mannor for you won't we?" She asked, smiling slightly.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 12:51 AM

"Yeah, I guess we will." He said, as he gave half a smile then sighed. "I just hope that it won't affect you. Don't let it get to you ok? I can live with it. So don't worry about that. Just have fun! You'll like the Manor."

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 12:54 AM

"Let it get to me?" Cien apprehended him with one raised eyebrow. "I doubt anything can get to me after what I've been through."

Her voice got quieter and she frowned.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 01:00 AM

Seb bit his lower lip and picked up his book once more. A few moments passed.

"But it's different when you see it happening to someone else." He simply said.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 01:03 AM

Cien studied Seb's face intently, her face still impassive.

I know.

She got up from his bed in order to give him room to do his homework and sat on the floor next to it, leaning her back against it.

"What are we going to do then?" She asked, refering to the holidays.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 01:12 AM

Seb turned the pages automatically, not even focusing on the letters.

"It depends." He gave up on his homework once more, throwing his book down. "We can do whatever you desire. What's the one fun thing you've ever wanted to do?" Seb asked her, trying to shake off his frown.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 01:17 AM

"Apart from play Quidditch?" Cien smirked, they had a game coming up with Hufflepuff soon, and she was getting excited like she normally did before a game.

"I don't know, I've never really thought about it before." She held the small bottle around her neck as if hoping it would give her an idea.

"What've you always wanted to do?"

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 01:28 AM

"Live in the 70's for two days. So I get to dance all night, and see what the world was like in the day time. That, and..." He trailed off. "Well, that's it really. I'm not really bothered."

Seb got up and headed to the bathroom with his PJ's, returning a few minutes later. He sat on his bed, resting his hands and chin on his knees.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 01:30 AM

"If you could do anything at all, that was of course possible, but it could be illegal and you'd never get in trouble for it what would you do?" Cien leaned her head back and looked up at Seb.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 01:36 AM

"I'd kill your Gran. She's a bad person." He said, without even a batter of an eyelid. "But that's just bad, coz in turn that'd kill me. And it's a bad thing to do full stop moraly. So I'd say... burn down a big important building...?" He shrugged his shoulders a tad.

"Dunno."

Seb lay down on his bed, and slowly started to fall asleep.

Posted by: Cien Mashuga Aug 7 2003, 01:41 AM

Cien stretched her arms above her head and yawned. She stood up slowly and pulled Seb's blankets tight around him before leaving the room, still not tired because of the potion she had taken earlier.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 11:02 PM

Seb slowly woke up yawning. He looked around in the semi darkness, and could hear the light snores from Cimber in the bed oposite. Pushing off his covers he got up. He then picked up some fresh clothes and headed off to the bathroom.

Turning on the shower, he began to sing. Naturally he didn't know most the words, but that didn't stop him.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 7 2003, 11:09 PM

Sariss entered the boys' dormitories, once again looking for some quietness. The Common Room was crowded as always and she didn't want to try the girls' dorm either. Too much girly stuff going on most of the time.

She looked around the dorm and saw that nobody was there---but she heard some singing coming from the bathroom.

Seb? Sebbie is singing? She giggled a bit. Clearly, he didn't know the lyrics. But she found it kind of cute anyway. He had a nice voice...

Sariss sat down on one of the beds and waited for him to come out of the bathroom. It was nice to be alone in a big room for a change...

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 11:18 PM

He turned the shower off and got dried, then changed into his clothes. After brushing his teeth, he grabbed his comb off the side basin, he left the bathroom combing his hair back.

'I should get this cut short. This hair is so dated...'

"Oh, be jeebus, Sariss! You made me jump!" He almost shouted as he saw her sitting quietly on an empty bed. He went to his own, fet Tua (who then left on an adventure) and sat down.

"Soooooooo matie, how are you today?"

Posted by: Sariss Aug 7 2003, 11:26 PM

Sariss couldn't help but smile when she saw Seb emerging from the bathroom, putting up a good fight against his hair.

"Hey..." she said. "Sorry, didn't want to startle anybody here... It was just..." She looked after Tua who made his way across the room. "It's so terribly crowded everywhere else. It seems to me as if people were multiplying lately."

She bit her lip. "You don't mind my presence, do you?"

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 11:33 PM

"Don't be daft." He said, as a strand of hair fell into his eyes. With a tut, he combed it back. "So everywhere else is crowded then? What a suprise. Why else do you never see me in the common room no more?! Excited annoying newbies, thats why."

Seb stood up and began to make his bed by hand.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 7 2003, 11:40 PM

"I just hope it'll die down as soon as classes start for them. Too excited. All of them. Even the halfbloods and purebloods who should have a clue about magic already..." Sariss mused, watching as Seb began to make his bed. "Want help with that?" she asked and moved to get up.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 7 2003, 11:45 PM

Seb shrugged his shoulders.

"If you want to..." he told her, as he moved around to the other side.

'I should clean out my trunk too. Oh, and my beside table.. Clean. Yes. Oh.. under the bed too...' Seb thought to himself, as he saw a piece of plain parchment trapped between the lid of his trunk.

"Up to date on your homework I gather?" He asked Sariss.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 7 2003, 11:52 PM

Sariss got up and went to Seb's bed, assisting him at smoothing out the sheets and covers and all that stuff that had to be done when you wanted to make this enormous four-poster bed.

"Yes, I'm up to date with my homework," she answered Seb's question. "At least I hope I haven't overlooked something. After all, there are some classes in which we haven't received our assignments for this week yet..."

She sighed, brushing some stray strands of hair behind her ear. "Other than that, there's been so much excitement going on in here that it's starting to get boring. All this "And you are?" business is starting to get old... I wish the Duelling Chamber hadn't been closed for the time being. It would be a lovely distraction..."

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 12:02 AM

Seb paused. "I'd like to duel again. Now I know how it's done. Just remind me to stick pillows to my head. That floor was HARD. I think I lost a few brain cells when I fainted."

They finished the bed, and Seb went to his trunk, throwing the lid open. "You know, the first years will freak when the homework gets on top of them. I know I did."

He pulled out a stand for a wand, raised one eyebrow, and shot it on his bed. "Didn't know I had one of them." He then pulled out a snapped quill. "Um, oops." He threw it on the floor next to him, which was his 'to throw out' pile.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 12:10 AM

"You know... with all these Death Eater activities going on, we should practise duelling as often as possible," Sariss nodded with determination and stood back when Seb began to clean out his trunk. "When I think about those attacks..."

All of a sudden, she felt cold and hugged herself, nervously biting her lip for a moment.

"To know that they're nearby scares me... My heart is in my throat every time I'm going to Hogsmeade or back to the castle from work, you know? I keep expecting them to advance on me from all sides..."

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 12:23 AM

"Hmm. I know. It's a wonder my parents are letting me come home for the holidays. Knowing her, she'll think they're after me, and follow me home." He muttered 'curses' under his breath then slammed his trunk shut. He put the junk pile in the bin near the door, then came back to sit on his bed.

"Do you want this?" He said, offering her the wand stand. It had a polished wooden base, and brass brackets where a wand lay. "I'll otherwise throw it out or something.."

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 12:30 AM

"You don't want it anymore?" Sariss asked, slightly surprised. "I mean... It's pretty... though I wouldn't really know what to do with it." She patted her pocket. "My wand's always in there. And at night it's under my pillow. So I guess I don't have more use for this than you apparently have. Who gave you this anyway? Birthday present?" she babbled, trying to chase away the sense of foreboding that seemed to have grabbed hold of her. It had been too quiet out there. That Ravenclaw boy had still not shown up after Dumbledore had noticed that he was missing. Sariss didn't know how many days it had been...

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 12:43 AM

Seb frowned. "Really, who would buy me a present?" he muttered sharply. He put it down on the floor beside his bed. "I got it myself, for getting into Hogwarts. I'll put it in the bin later."

He swung his legs up on his bed, and rested his head against the wall. "I'll clean the rest later."

Posted by: Cimber Metallus Aug 8 2003, 12:50 AM

Violet eyes opened abruptly as if waking up from a bad dream. They glared and demanded silently at the green velvet canopy that was overhead. Cimber stayed still. He didn't want to get up for another foul morning of his life.

The happenings of the night before ran through his mind in a rush and his grip on the sheets tightened.

He closed his eyes to calm his emotions and when he opened them, they burned no more.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 12:53 AM

Sariss shrugged. "I don't know... I did. Cien did... You got quite a lot of birthday presents at your party..." she said softly, chewing on her lip again as she sat down on the edge of a random student's trunk. It occurred to her that her own birthday was not far away... And it wasn't just her birthday that happened on this day... It was also her mother's death day, a fact that had made her last six birthdays not as enjoyable as they had been supposed to be.

Posted by: Cimber Metallus Aug 8 2003, 12:56 AM

Cimber heard voices. Sariss and Seb.

He got up from his bed and made to go for the bathrooms.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 01:00 AM

"Cien knew what? That I had that? Don't think so. I got it before I came here, the day I got my letter. I knew they wouldn't." He told, glaring at a post on his bed.

His thoughts had suddenly turned dark and angry now. He knew he had to snap out of it, but it felt so natural, so safe a mood to be in.

Seb continued to glare at the post, as he crossed his arms and legs, at the ankle.

'Stupid stupid stupid...' He took a deep breath.

Posted by: Cimber Metallus Aug 8 2003, 01:08 AM

Cimber walked back in and found Seb beating himself up mentally. He didn't say a word as he continued on towel-drying his hair before giving up on it. He made his way out of the the boys' dorms.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 01:09 AM

Sariss was silent. Seb sort of frightened her when he was like that. But it was probably more her own anger at his parents who dared to treat Seb the way they did. It was surprising that Seb was most of the time rather balanced and friendly.

"Wh-what's that?" she asked softly, indicating the letter Seb was glaring at. She wondered if his parents had written back... what they had written to him... She prepared herself for an outburst. Just in case.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 01:19 AM

"It's an old letter. I found it when i cleaned out my trunk. The only one I got off them - a few days after we started here. Guess what it says?" He asked her, as he leant over to pick it up.

After a few seconds silence he reached out his arm, and gave the letter to her.

Sebastian - We shall forward on the trousers you forgot to pack. Expect them tomorrow.

"Not exactly 'Hope you're well, miss you loads' now, is it? Ah well." Seb said, giving a small shrug. "They were decent trousers after all."

Posted by: Casseus Lestrange Aug 8 2003, 01:20 AM

*Casseus Lestrange woke up to find himself on the floor.
'What the?' HIs mind asked stupidly.

'Oh shut up. Mer was in our bed fool.' Casseus argued with his mind.

'Erm whats going on here?' He called out at the argueing people.

'eh I dont really want to know anyway.' *Casseus Lestrange said getting up and quickly grabbing his clothes, heading for the showers.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 01:31 AM

Sariss took the letter--or rather note and scanned it.

"Oh..." she made. "That's... short. Sebastian... Couldn't imagine calling you "Sebastian". It's so formal..." she trailed off, thinking about how her foster parents only used her full name when she'd done some magic. Well... that had been cleared up after she'd received her Hogwarts letter. That 'real' parents could be so cold towards their child...

She felt the hand that held the letter tense. Those people needed to have some sense knocked into them. They'd certainly know about the recent Death Eater attacks at Hogwarts. After all, they were purebloods. Sariss had sort of expected Seb to receive a "Be careful" note at least.

"I'm sorry..." she said, fully conscious of the fact that it sounded feeble and was one of those phrases that were meaningless to anybody who heard it.

Posted by: Casseus Lestrange Aug 8 2003, 01:33 AM

Emerging from a cloud of steam Casseus flicked his haor out of his eyes. Changing into his robes Casseus looked in the mirror.
'My, my you make the term messy but good work for you like always.' The mirror said with a wistle.

'Hmm whatever.' *Casseus Lestrange said bored.

Walking out of the dorm Casseus quickly grabbed his comic and left.

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 01:37 AM

Seb watched as the older student left for the bathroom and rolled his eyes.

"Hm, yeah. You're sorry, I'm sorry, everyone is sorry but the people who SHOULD be. Well, this is getting old now. I mope about them, go to sleep angry, wake up with a headache.. blah blah blah."

He blinked then changed from frowning to his usual smile. (Fake? Real? Who knew.) "Ready for Quidditch tomorrow?"

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 01:44 AM

Sariss looked after Casseus with an eyebrow raised, asking herself what it was that made that boy so charming at this time of the day.

She nodded slightly at Seb, willing to drop the subjects "Sorry", "Parents" and "Anger" and not pick them up again--at least for as long as she could avoid it.

"Oh yes, Quidditch..." she repeated. "I think I'll never be exactly ready for it. The thought of being out there with everybody looking at me and the team relying on me to catch the Snitch still frightens me. But I'd better get used to being watched by everyone... After all, I did apply for the drama club and got in too..."

Posted by: Seb_Darwin Aug 8 2003, 01:49 AM

"Congrats on that. I was going to join, but I guess I forgot. Typical me."

Seb stood up and stretched his legs and back. "You know, I think I'll go get some air. Go for a walk or something. I'll see you later, ok?"

He smiled at her, but couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes. "Cya." he waved, as he left the dorm.

Posted by: Sariss Aug 8 2003, 01:54 AM

Sariss nodded at Seb, fully aware that his smile was not a genuine one; that it was just a mask like so many of her own facial expressions were. "See you," she said and watched as Seb left the dorm.

After a few more minutes in silence and solitude, she got up and noticed that she still had that cursed piece of parchment in her hands. She was not entirely sure if Seb still wanted it, but from his reaction towards it and the fact that he hadn't actually wanted it back soon after she'd read it, she gathered that it didn't mean very much to him.

On her way out she threw it into the bin.
