phinelia von ichval   fourth year - ravenclawhermes▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬“In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.”
– Desiderius Erasmus
“The haft of the arrow had been feathered with one of the eagle’s own plumes. We often give our enemies the means of our own destruction.”

╔══════════════════╗
Phinelia stepped down the stairs of the Girl's Dormitory with a curious set to her steps. Having wandered to the mostly-empty Common Room before the full end of the Feast (as well as taking the liberty of using some short cuts she had discovered the previous year to cut her journey) she had made quick work of unpacking her things and setting them in a more familiar arrangement. As she had been setting her books on the lower pitch of her bedside shelf, a familiar nick at her window had revealed the arrival of her owl. Having let him instantly and allowing him to fly around as much as possible in the deserted portion of the Dormitory, the last motions of her unpacking had been watched intently by Hermes. Soon enough, from the sounds and coos and buzz below her feet, the Common Room began to fill and the space rushed with even more familiar life. Smiling and gazing to the clock and down to the book she had been reading, she decided a rather uncharacteristic action. Having slipped off her bed and taken a few of her things (blank pieces of parchment, a large research tome and a self-filling quill) she descended the stairs with Hermes perched happily on her shoulder.
The sight of the new First Years filling the Common Room made her smile. She glanced at the new faces and somewhat irritably noted she was just barely taller than most of them. She internally groaned at her short stature but the distress did not show on her face. At the few pairs of eyes which glanced at her she flashed a smile of welcome, nodding but saying nothing apart form the silent gesture. Attention captured then by the familiar tones of arrogance and loud presentation as well as those of growing impatience, she found her focus setting on Yia and Sato Aiko. A light entered her molten eyes as she watched them from a small distance.
Approaching them then as the final threat left Sato's lips, she quietly intervened. "Hello Yia, Ms Aiko. Too much fun already?"╚══════════════════╝

"Good evening Miss Von Ichval~ How are you? Hows your boyfriend?" He asked her, hoping to get some juicy gossip and give some in return.

╔══════════════════╗
The small Ravenclaw smiled evenly to both Housemates; senior and junior. Chuckling just lightly enough for Sako to hear, the understanding laugh touched the air as Phi's eyes scanned the front cover of the Prefect's book.
Turning then to Yia, she regained the smile and answered with characteristic soft tones, "Fine, Yia, yourself? Good summer? And he is well, I will tell him you asked." Phi's eyes shone with a translated mischief as her words spoke of Colton. Knowing full well that what Yia wanted was something to talk about, even some humorous rumours to spread as light-hearted jokes. The grin that spread over her features then spoke of how she could play his little game of table tennis just as well as he could.
Her head ducked around Yia and spotted the younger girl sitting just behind the third year. She smiled to Seren, "And how are you?" Phi had never much spoken directly to the girl apart from the occasional passing hello or inquiries regarding the Ravenclaw house in some way, shape or form. Yet she knew her name and from natural observation she could say she knew a bit more. However small steps were always best.╚══════════════════╝

Who's up for a...
Ben wondered why Sato had discouraged Yia's "fun." Could it really be so bad as to be punishable by a trip to the dungeon? Or were trips to the dungeon a common punishment? This topic certainly required a closer look. Just in case Ben felt the need to break the rules he needed to know what sort of punishment he had to deal with. After making that mental research note, he allowed himself to enjoy Yia and Sato's banter. They had quite the rapport it seemed. It was hard not to notice as a girl who looked almost like a porcelain doll walked down the stairs. She had perfect ivory skin and fiery red hair. She had apparently caught Ben looking because she smiled. He smiled back trying to be nonchalant. Though she was beautiful, Ben didn't feel any pitter patter in his heart like he'd heard stories of. No, this was more admiration than a crush. His stomach churned with dismay. Would he ever be able to feel love for another? Would he ever be able to look at someone the way his parents looked at each other? For now it didn't matter. Tomorrow he would get his first lesson and he was much too excited to mope. The class he was most excited for was by far charms, but transfiguration was definitely a close second. He had always felt strangely connected to the the talking tea service in "Beauty and the Beast." Now that he knew better, Ben knew that the fairy tale could have indeed occurred. Maybe one day he could have an enchanted talking tea service. He'd definitely fancy that.
...little friendly competition?

 Chase Henrick ~ Ravenclaw ::: First Year ~ 
Chase laughed slightly. He felt the soft fur of the cat, until Hana tried to lick his fingers. He started to panic, but before he could do something stupid, he got used to the cat. It felt quite weird for Chase to be licked.
"Hogwarts... We're finally here," he said to no one in particular.
 "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."

The soft muse of a voice speaking thoughtfully made Phi blink and turn to the source of the sound. A dark haired boy had whispered the quiet hope - it danced on the air between them like a silk thread of a prayer. Phi caught his bright, blue eyes and offered him the most welcoming smile laced with understanding. A memory playing in her own bright, but molten eyes of her own First Year. Filled with anxieties but awes beyond counting. Those feelings had yet to make any notion of leaving her even after three years of entering this world.
She hoped the brilliant school would embrace the boy just as righteously as it had her; enveloped her in a hold that never ended in warm affections and adventures. Ever a new crook to be found, a new secret to be discovered. If the boy did not find it, Phi hoped she could find him do so.╚══════════════════╝

The touch of chill of the blooming spring breeze played with the strands of fiery hair of the Fourth Year Ravenclaw as she idly read her large tome in the Common Room. Mind completely focused and eyes scanning the lines of text faster than it seemed possible to read; no distraction posing sufficient to tear her from the knowledge and stories the old pages could possibly contain. Not even the bursting professor managed to have her head raise until he spoke the words of 'lock down'.
Then her attention was altered and she stared piercingly into the eyes of the notable Professor of DADA. Instantly observing and calculating and theorizing in growing confusion and mounting curiosity what his words meant; what his presence meant.
Eyes barely managing to stop from widening and throat constricting and containing the gasp when her mind landed on a horrific thought. Banishing it instantly with ever doubt, every hope it could not be true. Attempting to summon the expected confusion and obliviousness.╚══════════════════╝

Phi stood up then at the sound of command and desperate plea and desperation in jumping voices. She turned and saw the female Prefect of their House speaking to the young redhead Cathryn, hearing both the spoken and unspoken panic and fear touching each of the females' tones. She lightly approached the younger of the two and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, attempting to convey the understanding of what the girl fears and what she wanted clarified. "Come on Cathryn." she whispered, hoping the younger would not mind the use of her first name even with their barely defined acquaintanceship. "Lets go to the Dormitories." she offered with a meaningful glance to the Second and First Years whose eyes she could feel on their small group - filled with curiosity but a rising fear as well.
With he same hand she attempted light push towards the stairwell that would lead them to their sleeping area, glancing at the Prefect with question in her eyes but silence.╚══════════════════╝
