OCC: How about the day before the holiday starts, you dont want to go to fast. Its about December already at Hogwarts.
 
I kissed him back, and said "Goodnight.", then turned to the other two. "I'm going to bed as well... See you!" I ran upstairs with my books after I said that.

And then, I fell right asleep, thinking...
 
OOC: We'll make it December 25th when we wake up and leave on 26th. How about that?
 
OCC: Fine...just dont rush things. I dont want what happened last time, with people saying its going to fast, and then people going saying that this thread is "unsuccesful" and all that. =(
 
OOC: OK

BIC:
I woke up in the middle of the night. I was sneaking Terra, Karli, Berii, and Cassidy's presents into their rooms.
After doing this, I got on my bed and fell asleep.
 
I woke up, just as the sun started peeking over the Forbidden Forest. I walked over to the snowy ledge of the window, and watched the sunrise. I then sat down on my bed, waiting for Terra, Berii, and Cassidy to wake up.
 
Cassidy awoke slowly, lifting her eyelids with great care. She was very tired, but the ray of sun that lay on her face would not end its persistant nudging. She rolled out of bed abd padded into the bathroom to take a shower. She scrubbed herself down, feeling icky, like she had been running through mud puddles all yesterday. The deep scar on her side was a little stingy, but she didn't think about it too much.

She dressed quickly, pulling her uniform on with great percision. She combed her wet hair out briskly, pulling the comb through knots with little effort. When that was all accomplished, she glanced in the mirror, ready to sigh with dissatisfaction. The fact that she would never be one of those ultra-beautiful supermodel girls never really bothered her, but she was never satisfied with the way she looked. Her messy hair, always in her face. She hid behind it, afraid to show herself to the world. She knew this, and still, she did nothing to correct her insecurity. For all the martial arts training she had endured, she still lacked the confidence she needed to come out of her shell.

Pushing the thoughts away, she walked past the mirror, grabbing her books absently and heading down to breakfast. She yawned, and set her things beneath her seat at the table. A bowl of oatmeal and a cup of lemon tea appeared before her, and she gulped it down quickly. With a few minutes to spare before Herbology, she waited to see if anyone would come down with news of the Quiddich tryouts.

Andrew rolled out of bed lazily, but as soon as he was up, her ran around like mad getting ready for the day. After his shower, he dressed and geled back his light blond hair with great care, lest a strand stray too far from its desired position. He gathered his things in a rush, and went to the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Hey there Andy," Randy grinned as he sat down next to him. He gestured with his fork to the Gryffindor table. "See that girl over there? She's been giving me trouble since she got here. You wanna send a hex her way or something? I heard you're pretty good at magic...let's see what you can do!"

Andrew looked along Randy's line of sight towards the Gryffindor table. There was no mistake. He was pointing towards Cassidy. Andrew grimaced, and shook his head.

"No way. She's my sister," he told him. "You don't want to mess with her."

"What are you talking about? Of course you do! She's nothing. Nothing against magic anyway. Come on, Andy!" Randy demanded, slamming his fists on the table. "It's about time you started acting like a Slytherin."

Andrew sighed, taking his wand out of his pocket. He pointed it at Cassidy, whispering a spell under his breath...

Cassidy felt something very wrong. She cast a look over her shoulder to the Slytherin table. Andrew had his eyes fixed on her...his wand waving....the swish....and flick!

In an instant, Cassidy had leapt up from the table, knocking the bench over, along with some suprised Griffindors. She had called her wand into its bo form and stood at the ready. Andrew's hex had missed and hit the person sitting across from her. He immediately began to sprout fur.

A roar of laughter errupted from the Slytherin table. Cassidy's face became hard and angered, and she stomped over to the table, her gaze hard as diamonds.

"Andrew!" she bellowed. She was standing over him as he sat giggling at the table. Infuriated, she promptly smacked his head with her bo. "Stay out of my face! Stay out of my life! This isn't the kind of person you are! You don't belong in the house you're in. You don't fit in at all. They're using you! And you're a weakling to go along with it!"

Fuming, she returned to the Gryffindor table, her face hot with anger. She resumed her seat at the now restore bench and ate her oatmeal grumpily.

"At least I don't have to try to be Daddy's favorite, because I can't use magic well! You always have to use your brawn to win things, and you can't even beat me there!" Andrew bellowed.

Cassidy felt tears welling up in her eyes as she stared at her bowl of half eaten oatmeal.


OOC: Christmas??? Already? How about a few days before? This post took me a while....
 
I woke up. I looked out my window. Snow everywhere! The sun was rising but then some clouds came and blocked it out.

OOC: Christmas??? Already? How about a few days before? This post took me a while....

OCC: Ya, thats a good idea, I was just thinking about writing something asking everyone if it was okay, that they fastforward it
 
I woke up that morning to Flame breathing down my neck. "Hey flame!" I said laughing.

Wakey, Wakey! Flame said.

"Okay I'm awake. What's wrong?" I asked as I got dressed.

Nothing, i was in your mind yesterday and I'm glad you and Karli have worked things out. I'm sorry for causing alot of trouble between you two. He said apologizing.

"It's okay. And I'm not sure that she quite forgave me yet." I said. Flame nodded and flew away. I went to the great Hall to eat breakfast.
 
I got ready, and soon noticed that I was starving. I transformed, and flew swifty down to the Great Hall. I saw cassidy, and then Johann. I flew over to Cassidy, sat down on the bench, and turned into a human.
"What did your brother do now?" I asked her. "Do you want me to go over there, and sort things out. It might incule beaks and claws though"
 
OOC: Is this Christmas or something else?
 
The next morning, I quickly woke up, after all, there was Quiddtch practice today.
---
I stared at Cassidy's brother for a second, and shook my head, then turned away.
I was sitting next to Cassidy, and looking at her, I could see that she felt bad.... No, miserable.
"Cassidy...." I said gently, trying to cheer her up. "Don't think about him... Think about the tryouts.... Oh, hi Karli." I greeted her as she arrived.
 
"Oh...don't worry about it, guys. He's already got a lump on his already thick head," Cassidy managed a chuckle. She tried her best to smile at Karli and Terra She glanced over her shoulder and wiped her eyes. "I am excited for the tryouts."

All around her, the Gryffindors were chatting anxiously about the tension now between the two rival tables. Cassidy looked at Karli. She fished in her pocket for a moment, and pulled out her Animagus medallion.

"Here," she said. "I forgot to give this back to you yesterday."
 
Berii woke up, full of life. She jumped out of her bed and ran to the bathroom. After taking a quick shower, she dressed-up and went back to the dorm. She looked at her mirror and brushed her hair. After doing all that, Berii ran to the Great Hall and sat between her friends..

"Hey guys! What's up?" she asked cheerfuly.
 
I came down to breakfast and sat next to Terra.
"Practice today!" I said cheerfully.
 
"Thanks" I said putting the necklace onto my neck. "Well, if you need any help with him, then just ask me. When I walk by him in the corridor, he stares at me, and then his little Slytherin friends start laughing"
 
I saw Johann walk over to Berii. I smiled at him, shrugged, and turned to my breakfast.
