Fandom Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Death

"I guess so." Piers furrowed his eyebrows as he watched two Gryffindor boys heat up in an argument over the most important wizard during the Great War. "But anyways, what made you want to be a professor here? You're still pretty young, there are tons of other things you could be doing instead of being cooped up at Hogwarts with children and old geezers like me and the Headmaster." He grinned, looking to the younger man.

Alexander chuckles, has a nice laugh, runs a hand through his hair. "Ah well, I had to keep an eye on my niece somehow." He said in amusement while resting his chin on his fist. (@nynja)

Mortimer's face turned scarlet. He wasn't aware that others knew about them yet. "Yeah probably a good thing I already asked her to the ball."


"Well let's hope things don't go as bad as the last time our school held this." Said Lorcan. "I really wouldn't want anyone to get hurt badly."

Rebecca smiles a bit. "I only know because she trusts me not to tell anyone.. And I think it's cute.." She said while looking around.


Alissa sighs softly. "I hope so as well... The champions seem evenly matched.."

 

[Johnny R McAvery]

"Thanks." Said Mortimer shyly then he cleared his throat. "So how do you know Alissa?"

 

[Athens]

August listened to the two men talk with pursed lips. She had a suspicion of what was going on ever since she had seen a threat in one of the upper hallways, and had Filch take it down before anyone spotted it. It was not in anyway's best interest to discuss such matters publicly, so she decided to talk to the headmistress about it in private.


"Let's get a round of applause for our champions!" The students cheered, but not as loudly as before Rebecca was chosen. "Now if you all would please follow me, to discuss the tournament." Professor Truenen gestured for the students to follow her as she walked out of the room.

Rebecca sighs and heads into the room after Ramona and the other champions. Alaric heads in first before Arsenic. Rebecca turned to Mortimer quickly. "She's friends with my older brother, we met in when I first came to Hogwarts and she was starting her third year here at Hogwarts."

[Johnny R McAvery]

Mortimer followed as was highly curious as to what was about to be said. "So are we going to get any kind of clues for the first task?"

 

[nynja]

"Your niece goes here?" Piers questioned, keeping an eye on the students while trying to keep a conversation at the same time. "What house is she in?"

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Alexander leans back in his seat, stroking his short beard lightly. "yes... She Iz in Gryffindor. Vhich iz highly amusing since my brother vas in Slytherin as vas his wife... She has a heart of gold my niece... I'm planning on shaving my beard... Getting a bit long..." He said while stretching in his chair. (@nynja)

 

[Athens]

"I agree Alexand'er, your beard is gettin' pretty long." August commented taking a sip from her goblet. "Hello my beautiful Link," She crooned as a raven black Crow dropped down onto her shoulder. "Do you have any news for me my beautiful boy?" The crow replied with a curt and sharp squawk. August's face turned grave at the response. "Oh, well that's certain to stir things up... And you're absolutely certain he's headed this way?" She asked looking down at the row of teachers and noting that one was indeed missing. "That blasted man, I told him that everything was in order and accounted for, but he just has to check for himself. Honestly..." August tutted watching the door expectantly.


"You're first task is to retrieve an object from a tree. That's all." The headmistress replied smoothing her robes.


(@Soul OMU ) (@Johnny R McAvery ) (@nynja )

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Rebecca sighs softly and runs her temples. "Oh joy..." She said while looking down, has a good idea what tree she is talking about.


Alexander shakes his head and rolls his eyes a bit while sipping his cup of pumpkin juice. "Thanks for the input August... I'll take that into consideration..." He said while looking bored.

 

[Athens]

Arsenic sighed knowing that there would most likely be a guardian or guardians protecting this tree. "Now let's head back out so that everyone can eat."


"You do not ha'e to be rude Alexand'er." She retorted rolling her eyes as Professor Longbottom bursts into the Great Hall in a panic. "Where's the headmistress?" He called out jogging over to the teachers table. August grabbed him by the arm tightly, and whispered harshly in his ear, "I suggest you get yourself together and stop acting like a fool and causing unnecessary panic." Neville gave her a look of disbelief, but straightened himself out. "How can you act so calm about this? Just so you know, I know that you've seen this before and had Filch remove it. Why?" August huffed still holding onto his arm. "Because, unlike you Mister Longbottom, I am not trying to start a school wide panic. And I am also accustomed to things like this happening." Neville scrunched up his face. "Why did you get rid of the thing in the hall?" "The students do not need to see such things and start freaking out, and I was going to discuss it with the headmistress after the choosing of champions."


"Professor! Professor! August and I need to speak with you." Professor Longbottom called jogging over to her and whispering something in her ear.

Alaric nods and heads back towards the Slytherin table where there school is sitting. Rebecca makes her way there slowly, thinking deeply about the clue.


Alaric glances at Arsenic. "Arsenic my old friend, do you have a date for the dance yet?"

 

[Johnny R McAvery]

(I'll be out all day today. So don't expect to even post a letter after about 2 hours from now.)


Mortimer nodded and when he heard Professor Longbottom he was curious as to what had happened. "UH what is going on? If I am needed for head boy duties I must sttend to them."

 

[Athens]

Arsenic shook his head. "No, but I have a few ideas of who to ask, there's a Ravenclaw girl and a Slytherin who have caught my eye." Arsenic sat back down ignoring the devious looks Ramona kept giving all the other champions. "She's dangerous, Ramona. We need to keep an eye on her."


(@Soul OMU )


August stopped the boy. "It is fine Mortimer, this is something to be handled by the adults. Now, why dont you head back to your House table?"


(@Johnny R McAvery )

 

[Johnny R McAvery]

Mortimer nodded, got up, and left. Once back out into the great hall he went straight for Alissa. "Hey something is going on. Can you help me get the other heads?"

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Alissa blinks and looks up at him. "Hm? Ah sure. I'll go grab Clarisse and you get the other head from Gryffindor." She said as she got up and headed to the Slytherin table. (@Johnny R McAvery, @nynja)

Leo stood up quickly walking over to Mortimer. "Hey, whats wrong? Why do you need us?"

(( xD you started it))


Alaric raises a brow. "She iz vith Beauxbaton still. She iz sitting over vith the Ravenclaws." He said made his way over where the young lady was sitting. "Hello Duchess." Duchess puts her tea cup down and closes her book. "Bonjour Alaric, vhat brings you over here Hm?" She said while smiling a bit as she turned to look at him. Alaric smiles a bit and takes her hand while bowing. "I vould be honoured if you vould accompany me to the Yule ball." He said as Duchess smiles a bit in amusement. "I suppose I will accept for an old friend..." She said while holding his hand.

Rebecca bites her lip, holding his hand as she looks at her friends. "...thanks guys..." She said softly while bowing her head a bit. (@LuckyANDKitty)

 

[Athens]

Arsenic followed behind Alaric, running a hand through is hair subconsciously. "Hello Duchess, it's lovely to see you again." Arsenic murmured quietly attempting a smile, but stopping halfway through seeing as it did not feel natural to him.


Albus sighed, bringing the girl closer to him and hugging her comfortingly. "Becca," he murmured quietly in her ear not wanting the others to here. "will you accompany me to the Yule Ball? It's alright to say no, I've just been wanting to ask you for a while now.

Duchess' eyes shift from Alaric to Arsenic. "Hello Arsenic.." She said softly while putting on a smile. "It's good to see you too..." She said while lacing her hands together in front of her. "I wish you both luck in the tournament...I have no doubt you'll both do exceptional..." She said while looking at them.

Rebecca blushes a bit as he brings her close. "I-I suppose that would be alright, seeing as I don't have a date yet." She said softly while hiding behind her hair.


(@LuckyANDKitty)

 

[Athens]

"You don't have to put on a smile Duchess. We both know that we're not on good terms right now, and the last thing I'd want you to do is force yourself to be polite and nice to me when you probably don't want to be." Arseic replied. "I doubt that I'll win, or that I want to anyway."


Albus smiled hugging her once more tightly before letting go. "That's great! I'm so glad you said yes Becca, you have no idea." Albus looked around and noticed that Marleen had gone missing.


The headmistress scowled as Professor Longbottom whispered in her ear. "Did you check to see if there were any students nearby who could accidentally wander past it?" "There was nobody in the halls when I came in here." "Well did you see any students leave?" "Uh... no-


"HEADMISTRESS! ON THE WALLS I-IN THE HALL! IT'S HORRIFIC!" Marley yelled running into the Great Hall. There were tears streaming down her face, and she was trembling in fright.

Duchess' smile falters a bit before sighing and looking down at her hands. "While it is true that we are not on good terms... I cannot help how I was raised... Being polite and nice to everyone is just the way I am... You know this, and still... Doesn't hurt to try doesn't it?" She said softly while closing her eyes a bit. Alaric left them alone and blinks when some girl comes rushing in. "...?"

Rebecca blushing a bit as she looks away before glancing towards the door where Marlene is. "Hm...?" Scorpius and Cassiopeia blink and glance up. (@LuckyANDKitty)

 

[nynja]

"Alissa? Is everything okay?" Clarissa stood up from her spot at the Slytherin table when the other head girl came over the same time that Marlene ran into the Great Hall. Alissa looked concerned and a bit shaken, which was not common for her. "I saw Mortimer run in here a moment ago but just assumed he was having some trouble with people fooling around." (@Soul OMU)


"Goodness." Piers stood up from his seat at the teacher's table when a girl ran into the Great Hall, tears streaming down her face. "Headmistress? Professor Longbottom?" He looked to the two teachers, who were whispering amongst themselves. "Do you have any idea what's happening?" (@LuckyANDKitty )
