IRA

When the Russian student approached, Tommy just hummed and turned to ignore him. Well less of acively acting like he wasnt there but more like not actually talking. Or participating in the conversation. Possessive hand around his friends back kept an iron hold for the entire breakfast. Right after their morning feast was done, Professor Hellbore announced he will be taking permission slips of first time goers. Which meant 3rd years and exchange students.


Tommy finally let go of Erza's shoulder when they were no longer in Kazimir's eyesight. He nudged the other boy's side slightly and whispered into his year.


"Ezzie" he said, perfectly mocking the Russian accent. Then he turned away to face the rest of their crew.


- Madame Vivianne, Madame Jane - He began with a fake pure blood elegance - Would the two of the most beautiful ladies in this hall do me the honour of escorting them to Hogsmede - He concluded by bowing, pretending to tip a hat to them. 
 
Ezra


"Hey you will make history! Quidditch is for everyone and your success in it will be historic. What position are you playing this year?" He asks Kasumi, he knows her eye sight might worry her but he feels confident that she'll overcome this, plus she knows the field better than most. Ezra looks over to Jane as she speaks "I'm up for Captain this year. It's Sam's last year so she's looking for somebody to fill that spot, so if I do well you could be looking at the next Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain. It's between me and Dean from the year below." Ezra rarely found pride in what he did but Quidditch was the exception, he found a certain freedom in the sport and the danger of injury only added to the excitement of it, and he was proud of how well he did, it was a natural alent to him, one he'd been fortunate enough to play since his second year "Are you planing on rejoining?" He asks her, picking at the food left on his plate. 


As Professor Helbore began taking the permission slips from the 3rd years and exchange students, Ezra stood to the front of the hall with the group, waiting for their friends to return from handing in their permission slips. He hears Thomas whisper in his ear and gives him a frown, he isn't  looking to fall out with Thomas again but it was hard not to find him infuriating at times so he instead moves slightly away standing closer to Kasumi and sighing. "We can go to a pet shop and find you a Puffskein!" He grins to her excitedly, he'd never actually seen one before.


Vivienne


"Great, I'll get us permission for the restricted section, just in case we need it." She tells Jane, giving her a confident nod. Vivienne had never really been one for Quidditch, it was the one thing she could never really grasp that and it was slightly too barbaric for her taste, and well frankly, kind of messy. As for supporting the sport, it barely appealed to her but with many of her friends players, she constantly goes to games, only to support her friends of course. So as they discussed quidditch she turned her attention to Kazimir, who seemed as interested as she was. "Take it you're not a fan of Quidditch then?" She asks him, laughing gently before finishing off her pumpkin juice, pausing before asking him another question "Have you been Hogsmeade before Kazimir?" Leaning across the table to speak to him, narrowly missing Ezra's hands as he waves them around whilst he speaks. 


After breakfast and whilst the permission slips were being collected she stood with her friends talking idly quieting as Thomas approaches them, rolling her eyes and giggling as he speaks, holding a hand forward and curtsying with a giggle "Why of course Sir Abbot"

Kasumi shrugged, "Aye, go down in history as the Great Blind McLeod." she proclaimed as she raised her hand, "It'll be on plaques and books for generations to come!" She wrinkled her nose in fake stuffiness before her face relaxed back into a calm smile, "And hm... well. The Seeker." she rubbed the back of her neck, "...Ah, you're going to mop the floor with me." she sighed, closing her eyes for a moment. "But worth a go, eh? Carrie was rather pleased about it, but Edward was worried stiff But then again he's just a worrier about anything. I mean, he almost had a panic attack when Carrie was stuck in traffic with no phone, thinking she got kidnapped, even though I told him." she said with a little laugh.


As they waited to go to Hogsmeade, she looked at Erza as he expressed how he did not know what a Puffskein was. "Oh, they're these adorable balls of fluff that purr and coo when you pet them and they're extremely affectionate and playful." she explained a smile, "Though I'd have to teach Athene that it isn't a toy or food."  she giggled before looking around, excited to go. Kasumi loved Hogsmeade, everything about it. Especially Honeydukes. She planned to get herself as many sweets as possible.

Kazimir looked up at and gave a half smile. "Da, I've never been very interested in ze sport." he admitted "I am however very interested in ballet, do you have a studio here?"  Durmstrang had one although it wasn't as big as the one he had at home it served him and a few others well. "Nyet, I haven't I'm looking forvard to it." He lives in a wizarding town but he felt it would be too pompous to say so. He glanced at the two boys Ezzie and the newly named platinum haired boy, they were still wrapped around each other and he noticed no one seemed to mind, his brows furrowed.


`


Kazimir was one of the last people to turn in his slip he didn't want to be forced in the crowd of younger student and his Durmstrang peers. It was worthless as a big burly teen with the face and brain of a troll, slammed his shoulder into Kazimir's, he sighed but otherwise didn't react. He rejoined the group and over heard Ezzie and a pretty girl with startling green eyes talking about Puffskeins "My sister has a few she adores zem."

Ezra 


He shook his head "Youll do great, just keep practicing. Besides we don't have to catch the snitch to win." He winks and nudges her, laughing gently, glancing around before continuing "[COLOR= rgb(39, 42, 52)]If it makes you feel any better, it'll be our seekers first game too. And you know I'm all about house pride, but between you and me, he's got nothing on you" He grins to her and he did believe it. Despite being hardly small, Ezra was suprisingly nimble on a broom, being a swift and agile flyer he made a strong chaser, and he was able to take a few hits of a bludger before it would even knock him from his path, admittedly this would be from his time as a beater. Still being built as though he needed to take the hits of a bludger and hit them across the pitch. "Edward may overreact but he might have a little reason to this" he laughs softly, shaking his head "you just make sure you're watching out for Bludgers though. Isa is still one of our beaters and she has a tendency to aim for  the seekers." He doubts that Isa would even take into consideration anything that would make it immoral to aim for a seeker, not in a game of quidditch. [/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(39, 42, 52)]As she explained what a Puffskein is, he furrows his brow, surprised that he'd never seen one before, his mum had been rather strict on what pets they owned, they did have a license to own Kneazles, so they kept those along with a couple owls and three bats. "That's so odd? I'm sure I've seen an illustration of one but I honestly thought it was made up" he laughs, turning as Kazimir approaches them, listening to him and shaking his head "it seems like everybody has been blessed with these weird balls of dryer fluff, except me" Ezra pulls a sad pout for a moment and sighs "Seriously though if I have money left over I'm going to buy one of them, and blame it on you two for telling me about these ridiculous things" [/COLOR]


[COLOR= rgb(39, 42, 52)]Vivienne[/COLOR]


She nods along as he speaks "Gosh, I feel that. It's not got the appeal everybody thinks it does" She shakes her head and rolls her eyes at the very idea of it and smiles as he reveals his interest in ballet, she had practised it when she was younger but had never really took it as seriously as her studies, but she knew it was incredibly hard and it was a lot of work, and she'd be lying if she said she wasn't impressed by this. "You do ballet? Woah that's incredible. You must love it to have that dedication to it, although we don't have a studio here but there's rumours of a room that could do such a thing for you." She tells him, it was just rumours but she had read a great deal about the room of requirements, and was confident it still existed. "Hogsmeade is overly hyped up but when you're at a boarding school, it is comparable to to the excitement of well this tournament and the ball, we always go crazy once we're allowed to start going into Hogsmeade. Ezra and Thomas have made maps to help them sneak into Hogsmeade when we're not on visits." She tells him with a laugh, looking over to them both and rolling her eyes.


@Malachitea @Rumble Fish
 
Kasumi listened to Erza talk about the seeker in his team, deciding that she would still be better, making Kasuminlaugh slightly. "Aye, but your seeker can see, right? Would suck if both teams had us flying around aimlessly like a couple of bees." She added, before yawning, still feeling pretty tired. She didn't sleep very well, trying to figure out what the first clue could have been. But she figured she could relax a little since Jane would be getting help from some others, she wouldn't have to worry. Well, she couldn't help it. She just wanted the girl to be okay. She knew the dangers that came with the Tournoment and hoped that Jane, and the others wouldn't come to any harm.


She stopped yawning as she heard a voice behind her. Turning around, she couldn't make out who it was that was there but she then realised it was Kazimir standing there, but only by his voice. Hearing what he said about Puffskeins, her cloudy green eyes lit up, "Really? That's so cool! I can probably only afford one, and it might be better since Athene could get jealous of it. But I need something to cuddle at night. I mean Athene is good at that but well... Her talons." She giggled as she thought about her owl, hoping she wouldn't be envious of the little furball. When Erza pouted that he would probably buy one himself thanks to them. She giggled and patted his shoulder, "You'll thank us for this." She said with a grin.

"The restricted section! I didnt even think of that!" Jane exclaimed, scratching her head as Vivenne spoke, how could she not of thought of getting gpermission for the restricted section, if anything could help her solve the first clue, it would be there. Jane then turned to Ezra as the group headed to the line of students lining up for Hogsmeade "Yeah, i will, i might try out for seeker this year although im not sure" She said to Ezra, Jane was a very fast flyer and as a consequence had slammed right into a bludger in her first ever game of Hogwarts Quidditch. Jane was unsure if she'd try out for her usual position as chaser of try out for the glorified seeker position. "So.. where shall we go first when we get to Hogsmeade?" Jane announced to the group as she handed in her signed permission slip.

Ezra 


"Okay that's fair enough. But you'll be fine, if it all goes to shit I'll just throw a quaffle at our seeker. I mean we don't have to catch the snitch to win" He winks and laughs softly, he believed in her and he knows that she can do this, but he would admit he's concerned for her. Bad eye sight is one thing but with bludgers being thrown around it would be considerably dangerous, and he didn't want her to get hurt, bludgers can pack serious damage if you don't anticipate for them. "Hey, if you want we can do some out of hours training or something?" He offers, giving a small shrug.


As they talk about the new found creature that Ezra is convinced is just sentient dryer fluff he can't help but get even more excited for Hogsmeade, and seeing the Puffskeins. He has a cat that is half Kneazle and he's sure that regardless of its intelligence it would still straight up kill the dryer fluff if he got one, so it might be a blessing that he might not have money left over to buy one because by the sounds of things he might be unable to resist them. "I might just have to admire yours, Jones gets crazy jealous when I own anything that isn't him" he tells them, laughing softly.


Vivienne


She nods her head, glad to have given her some hope or a lead for them to follow, plus Ezra had been forging those notes since their first year, so gaining access would be easy. Not that he ever used his forgeries for himself, in fact it was Vivienne who spent the most time in the restricted section. She would and does spend hours sifting through books and finding information on literally anything. Just being sat, surrounded by these old books, shelves towering high above her, the smell of leather and old pages with the slight smell of oil from the lamps. It was surreal in a sense. And the fact those books were 'restricted' it only made it more exhilarating. 


"I want to go buy some new scales and an updated star chart, but its not urgent so we can go wherever!" She speaks excitedly, her eyes wide with anticipation for the long day ahead.


@Rumble Fish @SuperSpice @Malachitea 
 
Kazimir nodded " My sister's screeching when Uther- one of our owls, managed to get one of zem in his talons vas enough for all our owls to stay far avay from her pets." He replied to Kasumi, surprising himself not originally planning on continuing the conversation. He gave a quite snort at the pout on Ezzie's face, it seems the British were far more open with their emotions, he could admit it was refreshing.


"I need to pick up a gift for my sister do you know of any place  zat vould be sufficient?" He asked deciding it would be nice to have friends and talk to people who were not aware of his past. He felt awkward but found himself anticipating the trip, excitement from the Hogwarts students becoming almost infectious.


@wichtlein @Rumble Fish
 
Kasumi smiled at Erza as he talked more about Quidditch. "That's true. Like, I remember reading about that match in the Quidditch World Cup back in 1994 where even though Bulgaria had caught the snitch, Ireland still won since even though they caught the Snitch, Ireland's chasers were too good for them to keep up." She described it, she wished she could have seen it, it sounded amazing. As he offered for them to do off-hour training, Kasumi's cloudy eyes lit up, "Sure! I need all the practice I need, to be honest." she said with a slight laugh. 


As the conversation moved back over to Hogsmeade, Kasumi giggled at Kazimir as he talked about his sister's Puffskeins. "Hopefully Athene will remember her manners and leave it alone. She has a toy mouse I enchant to run around that she chases everywhere so I could always distract her with that." she added with a laugh, imagining the owl chasing the mouse around the dorm like an excited dog. Kasumi had owned Athene since she was eleven and she was very attached to her owl. 


She looked over at Kasimir as he asked what would be a good gift for his sister and Kasumi shrugged, "Not sure, but you'll definitely find something in Hogsmeade, there's lots to find there." she said with a little shrug before looking over at Jane who had just approached. She gave the girl a friendly wave as she asked where they should go first in Hogsmeade. She opened her mouth to answer, but before she could get any words out, her stomach rumbled, basically giving the answer for her. "Um... Honeydukes?" she asked, her cheeks going slightly red.


@wichtlein @Malachitea @SuperSpice
 
Scales, starcharts and Honeydukes, it seemed like they had their destinations.Jane waved back at Kasumi. She couldnt help but pull her clue back out of her pocket every few seconds, looking at it in a confused way and trying with all her brain power to figure it out but to no avail. She sighed turning back to the group, specifically Kazimir "So what gift are you thinking of?" She asked, as he spoke about getting a gift for his sister, Jane knew Kazimir reasonably well and had a heard a thing or two about his past, but she was in no position to judge considering her dark family history. Jane's family had been supporters of Grindelwald when he rose to power and then after that they had supported- Jane shuddered at the thought of his name, Lord Voldemort, they never failed to support any dark wizards that rose to power.


@wichtlein @Malachitea @Rumble Fish
 
Kazimir smiled at Jane as she approached he gave a soft snort as her stomach growled, although he did  not know what Honeydukes he could safely assume it was some kind of place that served editable. "I'm not sure." He frowned "I love my sister but she seems to be svitching out of interests every veek. zis veek vas apparently knitting."  He pulled on his cardigan lightly. "Maybe I kan get a few steps ahead of her and buy something she'll be interested in later?" He concluded and immediately decided that was what he was going to do.


Kazimir brushed his overgrown bangs out of his face with slight irritation "And maybe I'll get my hair kut while ve are zere."

Alvar Brjar
​


No "That Dude" or "Mr Rubes Captionist" today folks, I'm going straight for the kill (post).
​


Or whatever his name was.                                             
​


Hogsmead
​


The Second Son of Wulfric the Wolfeyed was decidedly alone. Not that he did not wish for the copmany of his peers (and by that I mean the Slyvia Forries). It was simply the fact that her presense here would make one of his primary goal uncompletable. That being getting a suprise chirstmas gift for said person. It had not occurred to him that his lack of presence might offend her as he was not the most considerate of people.


By fate, he came across another in his dilemma (that being deciding what gift to get a loved one) but not in a way that favoured him in the slightest. Being greatly occupied by his thoughts, Alvar senselessly bumped into a much finer specimen of the human race and was thus knocked unceremoniously on his but. He, after taking a moment to recover from the pain, looked up and sighed in annoyance when he saw who he assulted. "For God's sake! That's Kirill Vasilyevich, Head of the Vasilyevich House! Wait no, I'm an idoit. It's The Drumstrang Champion, Krilly's bastard son. Wait no, wasn't his brother the bastard? Yeah, Krilly had an affair didn't he? Eh, either way the press is going to love this."  


Whith his speculation ended by this unhappy thought he began to rise out of the snow whilst blocking out any of the comments (being under the assumption that they were derogatory) and not noticing any offered hands. Though something tuged at the edge of his mind. Something invoving both Kazimir and The Dreaded Press...


"Wait, is he the gay one?" He said aloud in norwegian, his preferred tongue, as he reached his full height...
