HP-Hogwarts Story So Far

Ceridwyn Takes a Break

 

Cer is tired of sitting around and after her little speech to Morticia and Sarah, decides that she needs some fresh air. "I'm going to talk a walk... or something, I just need to get out in the open, out of this castle, the air, it's just quite suffocating." Cer gets up, walks out to the front lawn of Hogwarts and just breathes.

She sighs heavily at the weight she has been burdened to carry this year. A single tear falls down her cheek, making it sting in the icy cold air. She looks up at the sky closes her eyes for a moment, breathes deeply again, and then opens her eyes. She looks around at the beauty of the world surrounding her, the trees, the sky, and the sun creeping out from its evening slumber.

"Why did this have to happen" she asked to no one. "I have to be the strong one. Marvo is trying to be the father, Nimue the friend, Kat the rescuer, Morticia the seer, and that leaves me, to be the pillar. I have to keep everything together, and seemingly normal. Everyone doesn't have to go through this, I can handle it for them, be the strength and voice of reason."

With an air of indignation, Ceridwyn strides back up to the doors leading into Hogwarts, and gallantly enters the Hall, where Marvo, Sarah, Morticia, and Kali sit in confusion. She looks at all of them with pride, and simply says, "I'm back".

Marvo looks over to Cer, and again smiles (His been doing that a lot lately )

'Well. what to do? lets see...'

Marvo crosses his arms and puts his hand to his chin, looking quite comical.

'Lets assume shall we that the teacher are doing what they can, and that, eventually one way or another, with old 'Humble-draws' in charge they will sort all this out. Well, if that's the case we have nothing to worry about'

Then he looks over to the sleeping Madison (OC: I can't remember if she is still here or not. If she isn't he just looks at an empty seat)

'But there is Madison of course. Madam Pomfrey has done all she can for her, and the other teachers are so busy sorting other things that they don't have time to help out a solitary student. I for one think that Madison's 'sleepwalking' and Morticia's 'visions' are more important that the teachers think. So... Why not concentrate on them?'

Then his smile broadens

'Or we could just have a party and talk about the Ball and Quidditch?'

As if to point out he had finished talking he picks up the copy of the Daily Prophet and scans the front page.

Marvo goes very red and looks around, carefully placing the paper down and putting a plate on top of it, hoping no one had read it too carefully yet.

Morticia, not in the mood for shyness or manners, reaches over and grabs the Daily Prophet. As such a rude behaviour is not expected from her, Marvo is taken by surprise, and before he can react, she has got the Prophet (and the plate lies on the floor, broken to pieces).

"So, so, what are you hiding here?" she grins and opens the newspaper.

Marvo make a grab for the paper but Morticia is too quick for him.

He goes a little red. 'Oh... nothing. I wasn't hiding it. of course not'

He sinks down in his seat and starts to munch on some cake. Kat wanders back into the hall. She wasn't going to come back in case Marvo was there, but she knew there were new Ravenclaws that she really ought to help and she decided to pretend that it hadn't happened, at least until Marvo said something...

As she wandered in she saw Morticia snatch the paper. She peered over her shoulder and looked at Marvo going red and grinned cheekily.

"Ah!" she said. "Marvo's just embarrassed because he doesn't want everyone to know that he's gone soft on Joss' cat." Kat winked at Marvo, "isn't that true Malcolm!"

Kat smirked...

Marvo buries his head in his hands. (his eyes had lit up at the entrance of Kat)

'Oh no! He mumbles more to himself and starts to try and work out a spell to make the ground open up under him. 'MARVO' D Ward

Kat immediately regretted saying it..."Oh, Marvo, that bad? I didn't mean to be nasty. I'm sorry."

She looks at Marvo with regret and hope that he will forgive her for teasing.

Marvo lifts his head and smiles slightly. 'I'm sure I'll live it down one day..... Sorry I shouted at you by the way. I was just.... concerned. How are you? And Nim? still muddled?'

Nimue had followed Kat into the room and heard much of the exchange between Kat and Marvo.

"Hey Marvo, I am here" she waved at him smiling more sweetly than usual at him. "Yes, I guess we're OK. It was 'interesting' and the walk cleared things up. Hey, I guess the big secret's out then about your name. Good ole Daily Prophet."

She hoped the subject of the experiment might be dropped now and things get on.

Upon Nimue's words and gestures Marvo once more drops his head into his hands and starts to shake his head.

'Why me?' is all anyone hears him saying :-)

Nimue finds this reaction quite endearing though represses any urge to hug him.

Kat smiled: "Sorry, about the name. I didn't mean to embarrass you that much. And I guess so wouldn't have shouted at me without reason. Maybe we should talk about that later though. Nimue and I are still muddled yes, but feeling better for the air."

Kat grins at Marvo and hopes they can make up now...

Egreen enters and looks around. He walks over to Tish and smiles at her.

"Oh, you're still alive! Haven't seen much of you lately." Morticia seems to be a bit hurt.

Interlude: Gryffindor Dormitory

Lee and Madison arrived in the dormitory later. But as Madison desperately tried to sleep her fear of where she could be when she woke up kept haunting her. The air became cold in the room and Lee grabbed two blankets off the other beds, and extra for Maddy and one for himself. When he got back to her side however something was different. He looked around to see, and finally came upon a blue gem.

Nothing big or special. The only thing odd about it was that it was glowing just slightly and it was shaped like an eye, and an even better side affect he noticed after looking at the gem, was that, Madison, was sleeping. Quite calmly. He looked up to see where it had come from and saw only a quick rustling from a curtain and what looked briefly like a silver glow.
