The wind passed by the leaves again, rustling them and this time, bringing a faint scent of blood. A frail-looking old woman entered the clearing, her wild hair flying in the air like dried seagrass moored to a rock. Her clothes were barely hanging together, like a rag about to fall apart. She...

The one-winged raven took a deep breath and shook his feathers. He cawed and surveyed his surroundings once, then twice. Wind. Sunlight. Fresh air. All was good. All was as it should be. Or was it? The raven preened his feathers, deep in thought. No, the raven decided. All was not good. There...

The Shadow Realm of Helheim Five Months Ago The sky rained with blood. The crimson rain poured down, with the ferocity like that of fire, and soaked the five figures below on the vast plains. And then - suddenly - a lightning. It flashed from the heavens like a white spear and struck down the...

Slytherin Rafe White / Location: Slytherin Table @Simplymelsh Rafe looked at the girl who offered her hand. "You're not wrong. My name is Rafe White." Rafe said, emphasizing the word 'is', dragging it across his tongue. He studied her offered hand for a while warily, then took the hand and...

Slytherin Rafe White / Location: Great Hall "Rafe, White!" Rafe walked on to the chair and sat confidently, knowing ahead which house he would call home from now on. Sure enough, as soon as Flitwick placed the Sorting Hat on top of Rafe's head, the head shouted, "SLYTHERIN!" The Slytherins...

Rafe White / Location: Compartment D @Processed Stardust When he saw the card Emerald placed on the table, Rafe stood up so fast that he nearly bumped into the ceiling. "Dudeeee!" he said as he held up the card, his wide eyes looking straight at it. "How did you do that? I've been looking for...

Rafe White / Location: Compartment D @Processed Stardust Rafe watched the new girl from the corner of his eyes as she very carefully opened the box. She didn't seem like a dueler, at least to him. He found that his interst in her was quickly waning. The girl - her name was Emerald, apparently...

Rafe White / Location: Compartment D @Processed Stardust As Rafe grasped the chocolate frog in his hands, he heard the soft knock and the sound of the compartment door slid open. He glanced at the door to see a blue-haired girl with black denim overalls looking at him. She asked him if it was...

He giggled when Isabelle mentioned being alone in the room. Yes, that was what he wanted - but he was finding that talking like this wasn't bad at all. When Isabelle mentioned homesickness, he simply responded, "...I see." The misunderstanding was understandable, given that he had no reason to...

Rafe White / Location: Compartment D Rafe walked along on the regular, muggle side of the train station, casually surveying the whole crowd while looking for platform 9 3/4. It was not too difficult to find; the sight of people running in to the pillar made it quite obvious. Rafe held his owl...

"Nothing's wrong!" Arl said, maybe too hastily. Arl looked at Isabelle, then quickly looked down again, staring at a little speck of dust on the floor. There was a moment of silence, then he decided that maybe, this time, it might help to be a little bit more honest. "...yeah, maybe something is...

Arl listened quietly with eyes cast downward as Isabelle chattered next to him. Please don't ask any questions. Please don't ask any questions. Please don't ask any questions. Arlewen prayed to himself as Isabelle went on about blasts of magic or something. He didn't trust himself to speak...

Arlewen ordered a clam sandwitch and sat down on the cafeteria table, and began to eat slowly and deliberately. Yesterday seemed so distant. He tried to think through what had happened - there was the challenge to the duel, then Cadmus played music in the dorm, and then he decided to join the...

Arlewen woke up in his bed, feeling noticeably down. As soon as he awoke he knew it would be one of those days; where everything was hazy, as if a fog had rolled in... he tried to remember what he did yesterday, and to his horror he realized that he agreed to join the orchestral band. He knew he...

Arlewen's face brightened at Cadmus's compliment. "Thank you!" he said, smiling like a child. He put the instrument back in his bag and said, "you play really beautifully too! Maybe we could even host a concert for the school - what do you think? Or - oh, we could even make our own school band...

"Oh wow! Cadmus, I didn't know you could play an instrument!" Arlewen interjected suddenly during the middle of the performance. "I know a little bit myself, though I have a lot to learn. Hey, I have a grand idea - let's play together!" With that, he whipped out a wooden whistle and joined in...

Arlewen let himself be dragged back by Isabelle, although it was clear that he was much disappointed that his first meeting with a bully was over in such an anticlimatic way. However, as Lancis chipped at Isabelle, he yelled, "hey! Not cool!" before finally being dragged to the backline. After...

"Whoa!" Arl pushed his way forward to the confrontation, his eyes wide in excitement. "Are you a school bully here? That's so cool! I read about how big schools always have one. In fact, all of the novels I read that took place in school setting had at least one bully character!" He looked up...

Arl said, "ooh, I will go!" and without waiting for anyone else's reply, he rushed forward to the dummy. He recklessly thwacked the dummy at the head with his staff, and the dummy retaliated in kind, with a swing of its tail coming from the left. Arl yelped and tried to jump out of the way. He...

"I'll be fine without ice, I can... chill down without it!" Arl said, rubbing his new bump on his head. He was still smiling like a child. The day couldn't be getting any better after all the wonderful thing he had seen so far. As if the day itself wanted to challenge that, when Arlewen stopped...
