Hogwarts After Dark

Kenneth Irving · Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 11:16 am Post subject:

Kenneth helped himself to some more food, ignoring everyone else that was sitting on the same table he was. He was busy chewing in silent, watching the students who were busy eating and chatting among themselves, he spotted two familiar faces of his relatives but did not attempt to catch their attention at all. "I didn't know you need any help Professor." Kenneth said, stopping from chewing a chicken leg at once, over hearing what Salome had said, he was not sure who she was talking to, but Headmaster Dunbar had first offered his help that Kenneth dare not to interrupt, but he could not help himself from blurting out every now and then.

Mallory looked over at Leah, and sighed. "I'm sure he's fine, he got sorted without falling off the stool, right? What do you think he's going to do, choke on his peas? He managed to eat for years and survive, I'm sure he'll be fine through one more meal." Poor Leah, suffering through the big sister syndrome. Mallory was glad to be an only child at times like this.

"He's probably only going to be embarrassed if his big sister keeps staring at him. Watch the drama up there, instead." she nodded at the high table. It was quiet, except someone just walked out, and everyone seemed to be glaring at each other. Except for the flying teacher. The guys seemed to all be staring at her chest.

If Mallory thought she was helping she was dead wrong, what she had just said made Leah far more anxious to check on his brother's well being, for one, his brother had chocked on peas before, sure, he was ten when that happens, but it was all her fault, she was suppose to keep an eye on him, she knew not to leave him eat alone, he could have died. She gasped, checking on her brother again, she seemed perfectly alright chewing his food and once he caught her eyes, he smiled and wave merrily, that, sadly, wasn't enough to convince her to let her brother be.

She finally managed to tore her eyes away from her brother who seemed to be in a deep conversation with his new friends and look at the staff table, only then she relieved what a weird staff member she would have to face for the rest of the term, a troll professor, a vampire, a slutty mcslut professor and... She looked away, she knew one of the staff member, they're pratically family, she thinks, she never seen much of her mum's or dad's family. Her dad's, well, there's the excuse of he's dead, so they never keep in touch and her mum's, they've always seemed to preoccupied to notice another human being. "Oh yeah, entertaining." She said boringly with her eyes drifted back towards her brother.

Mallory shrugged and nudged Leah.
"Come on, you know his friends are going to make his life a merry hell if they catch you babying him. Did you get your schedule for the new term?" she tried to change the subject. It wasn't seemly for older students to fraternize too much with the younger ones, especially first years. Even if they were your brother. She winked at him, and gave him a sympathetic smile before continuing.

"I got that tetchy Astronomy teacher. He's kind of cute, for someone who's so odd. And of course Transfiguration. And Muggle Studies, though I don't know what use that will be"

Delilah began stuffing her face, she didn't know what it was, but it was yummy. She took a large gulp of pumpkin juice and looked back up at the staff table. She had not notice the women before, but the men at the table sure were now, This must be my Head of House. She had wondered which of the teachers were. She was pretty, maybe a bit skanky, she had big assets. That's for sure, and the male professors were oogling over her goodies like they were at a candy shop. pathetic.

As much as Leah hated to admit it, Mallory was right about what hell her brother could go trough if she kept trying to protect him. She started to relax a little, taking the goblet full of pumpkin juice in front of her. "I guess you're right..." She said weakly. She just felt a little left out seeing how her brother no longer needs her like he used to when they were little. She'd still like to take care of him, like she had always done in the past. Past, the word hit her hard, she sighed, taking another sip from the goblet, the sweet juice tasted bitter as she continued to sip slowly.

Leah coughed out a mouthful of pumpkin juice. Did Mallory just imply that Professor Irving is cute? "Eww... They're our professors!" She exclaimed a little, finding the best way out from mentioning, Hey, you know, I'm related to the Transfiguration Professor. Just then she remembered that her brother was sorted in Gryffindor, if she had heard it right, Professor Irving is the Head of House, she suddenly felt relaxed and anxious at the same time, wanting to nag him on how to take care of her little brother like he would have the time.

"Yeah, but they're still guys. I can't close my eyes, you know. As long as we look but don't touch, we aren't breaking any rules that I can see." she grinned and wondered why Leah was so upset. Could she have a thing for either Irving or Allende herself?

"I wouldn't turn down private tutoring sessions from either of them, I'll tell you that." she grinned wickedly and took a sip from her cup. Of course she wouldn't actually do anything. But the idea was kind of appealing.

Ughh... How did she ended up being friends with Mallory was beyond Leah, there wasn't anything they could really agree on and one thing for sure was thinking a staff member or a couple of staff members as object of affection. Leah found it rather disturbing to even think about it, not to mention Mallory seemed to have listed Professor Irving into her list, and Professor Irving is somewhat like her uncle since her mother is his cousin, the thought was just sickening.

"You don't really mean that, don't you?" She asked, disbelief, she would turn down private tutors in a heartbeat, except from maybe Professor Irving since he's practically family, but she wouldn't dare to get around private lessons with professor to avoid gossips and she knows very well how gossips travel around the school, it's faster than the internet!

God, didn't that man ever shut up?
She couldn't recall a start of term feast speech ever so long...then again, they never had so many new teachers before either.

She squinted and looked over at Miguel, poor thing, he looked just like Merlin, the family crup, with those puppy eyes.

And it looked like their flying instructor finally got head of house? How had she managed that?

Ivy clapped loudly and stood up and whistled at her new head of house. Then the others started tugging her to sit, so she flopped down, and waited for the finish.

Salome gave Kenneth a very knowing look, "Well, a girl can never have too much...help" she responded, and shifted so that the top of her robes were suddenly tighter against her curves.

She glanced at each of the men, disappointed she only had one offer of 'help'. Maybe they were all just shy? She bit her full lower lip in a way that was appealing, and rose from the table.

"Well. If any of you feels like...helping me, or just stopping by, you know where to fine me," she turned and left, her hips sashaying from side to side as she moved.

OOC: Damn, now I need rooms, Very Happy
