Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

**This is a public service announcement**

A whole lot of people just got fired at my place of employment. As a result of this and me being a 'trooper' (lol) I am working doubles Friday-Monday, I won't be able to post again until Tuesday, and will have limited ability to check on the board and respond to things even in the OOC.

I did not have any pressing plot-points for flying class, therefore, you guys can totally have fun with it! Play the teacher, forward your personal character plots/interaction, cause havoc, whatever you like!

Brownie points if you mention in the background of your posts that Caelum is having trouble with her broom and instead of taking off is just skipping around the field. Would be appreciated.

If you guys go fast enough you can also set up for detention, everyone gathering up and waiting for the groundskeeper to take everyone into the fooobiddeeenforrreeest!

Any questions?

Whoever posts next gets brownie points! I'm tired of seeing the bee-guy as the last-post.

Torn Across the Rift

Sorry Affilli. Is there anything I can do to help? Is it that there is too much going on? The groups are too far apart?

Torn Across the Rift

I did a small edit to the last part. Gemma doesn't know anyone's name.

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

Lol that sounds like a good plan

Yeah, it wasn't just us, they bombed every single rpg I think!

Torn Across the Rift

Erm. I'm going to try to ignore the troll while I try to figure out a way to report. o.O;;

Hogwarts: Ignition - Year One

o.O; Trolls.

XIII and whomever else follows Gemma... Vata

Gemma lead the way through the snow until she found a stair, they had to climb over a few stone steps, or landings, or walls, and more than a few strange frozen bodies... Finally they came around to the middle of the castle where Twain was waiting for her...

Twain had made some friends, she glanced at Vata and Alexavier nervously. "You found some... Survivors?" She took two steps toward twain. "We did too..." Then she began to feel sick.

"Wow... It's... It's worst here, Sir." She touched her stomach, which wrenched with a feeling that was nearly unbearable.

"Not surprised. Yeah, I found a few, they seem alright." Twain crossed his arms and faced the girl. "Between what this place looks like to me and what it feels like to you I think this alter-room thing is one big clue." He touched his chin doing his best impersonation of Sherlock Holmes. "But what does it meeeeeean, Watson?"

Gemma only looked now to see who had followed her. "This is um... I think... I don't know your name..." She saw a rock and decided to sit down.

In the Hospital.

"Oh..." Mrs. Longbottom watched the two girls leave. Once they were far enough away to guarantee that they would not see, she allowed her face to fall into a deep expression of concern.

"Dani..." Of course she had been informed of the girl and her peculiar condition during the summer. She would have liked to examine the girl herself, but she had been cautioned against it. They wanted to treat Dani like every other student, and so she would only see the hospital when she had a bump or bruise that needed mending. How normal was her experience so far? Was Wade picking on the poor girl? She would talk to Neville about it later... He would have some sound advice. She would also have liked to have a word with the head of Slytherin house about Wade... Yet... She never felt comfortable speaking with him, she probably never would.

The Office of Headmistress McGonagall

"Have a seat." The Headmistress folded her hands on her desk. "If Mrs. Longbottom believes you are well enough you may return to your classes today. I know your next class is flying which is quite dangerous. I have already sent a letter to Professor Wood in case you do not feel ready to participate today."

"I'll not keep you from class long if you do not wish it. First should like to hear your version of events..."

Table Slytherin

Caelum was glad to see Chandler well. "I don't really know what it is either. The Quid... Quid... thing..." She trailed off a bit embarrassed by her ignorance, though she was not alone in it.

"I'm glad that you are feeling better." All from trying to cast a spell, it made her worried about casting spells herself. Was her wand a tool or a stick of dynamite waiting to burst? "I think we have flying next... Are you going to be okay to fly?"

In the Courtyard

Professor Oliver Wood waited in the middle of the courtyard. He had his own broom in his hand. His was a long and aerodynamic model, the paint was beginning to wear away form years of use. It was painted red and yellow, the bristles were black and neatly braided and arranged at the bottom of the broom for optimum aerodynamics.

Beside him was a basket full of brooms... These were crooked branches with twigs and straw bunched up at the end. They truly were solid, steady, reliable flying devices, perfect for beginners! But they were not pretty.

He waved at the students as they arrived. "Here they are, first years first time flying. Go ahead and pick one out, but don't try taking of yet. You'll break your neck most like... I hear you first years are troublemakers already. Good job fellas. You'll be flyin' in no time at all if you can be patient and willing."

Just chatting at luch! Flying is about to start so it will not be awkward if you just start there.
