Bailey O'Brian, Gryffindor
Prefect's Bathroom



It was funny how much less mystique this place had when one was actually allowed to be in here. Not that it wasn't absolutely luxurious. Worth all the headache of being a prefect. Might even consider staying one just for this.

It was relatively dimmly lit now, giving it an even more relaxing sort of atmosphere. The bath was full of lemony scented yellowish water, not that it could be seen under yellow and pink foam. Bailey was enjoying it, having made it her priority to take bath here in the first day of school.

And there she was, ungarbed and pressed up against the side of the bath, facing out with her elbows crossed on cool tile floor. Her things and wand bundled up nicely within grasping reach, she had rightly made herself at home.

Even now, she was enjoying herself. Between her lips being a lit cigarette, the escaping wisps of smoke twirling and swirling, being gobbled up by a hungry little bubble that Bailey had commandeered with an enchantment. There were many different spells she could use, but that one was always her favorite. She liked to watch the bubble panic when she blew out a cloud of smoke and it struggled to catch all of it.

Oh yes. The prefects bathroom was a very much better spot than her usual hideouts. And no one would bother her.

The first night of being a prefect likely had been the one that would be the busiest and one she did the most work for. She had also had a busy first night revisiting to colony and checking in on a few things. Having prefect status and an invisibility cloak made sneaking out much easier than simply wandering out at night. That was whys he had even accepted being a prefect in the first place. The colony had been fine though the potions had not worked. Peral was working to remove their desire or human flesh to help them be accepted as beings instead of beasts. The tests had not gone well so far but Peral had thought maybe this was the year.

The Next day was mostly free time for her. Well she had plenty of classes but compared to first years and others she had more free time. It came with being near leaving the school and having major tests this year. There was one thing she wanted to do now that she had free time. The bathrooms in the dorms were okay and all, but they were crowded and everyone knew the prefects had more than toilets in their bathroom. They had a huge tube that was closer to a swimming pool, which truthfully reminded Pearl of home as when you could enchant rooms to be bigger why not have a massive spa like tub for each family member.

Heading into the prefects bathroom after speaking the codeword, perhaps the only place she liked a code to get in, she would head in. The room was not a straight shot to the tub as if it was you could just open the door and expose anyone bathing in it. there was a smaller room with two doors one for the toilets and one to the tub keeping everything nice and separate. Heading into the tub room Pearl was surprised, though it didn't show, to see someone else had already beat here there. Bailey the bully prefect of gryffindor. Pearl knew only a few things about her and while she was a bully she was not dumb and Pearl had to respect that she either studied in secret or had that good of memory and logic solving skills.

" I did not expect anyone else to be here right now" Pearl said honestly her tone cold not scared by being around the bully or concerned by what she was doing smoking. Pearl saw the bubble catching the smoke and had to find that a clever use of a spell. The breaking of the rules with smocking was less interesting. " what are you smoking?" Pearl asked as they looked more like something muggles made over something wizards would use. Wizards had their pipes and they liked to stick to them.

  Imelda had been glad to have had an excuse to end the rather uncomfortable and humiliating conversation she had been having with the Ravenclaw prefect, Pearl, and even more glad to finally tuck into the feast once it appeared before her and McGonagall's obligatory speech was over.
  
  Her new housemates Hal and Blaise seemed rather pleasant, and though she was disappointed that Felix and Nuella wouldn't be joining them, she was happy that she had made even more friends.
  
  Her night in the Ravenclaw dormitory was a lonely one, given that she was the only girl. It had taken quite some time for her to fall asleep without the trappings of her own home, and Birdie had opted to stay with Midas, so she did not even have him to snuggle with.
  
  The next morning, she had caught up with Nuella at breakfast and they had resolved to sit with one another for their first class: potions.
  
  Now Imelda took her seat, looking up at Professor Slughorn as he waited for everyone to arrive, with her potions book set beside her and an expression of focus. Surely brewing a potion for curing boils could not be that hard. She had already read over the instructions twice before she had even got to school. She hoped that Nuella would be able to join her at her cauldron too.
  
  'Ah Miss Doherty, it is quite an honour to have you in my class!' Slughorn had come over to her with a bright smile. Imelda looked up in mild surprise.
  'Oh thank you, sir!' she said.
  
  'I taught your mother and grandmother you know. Fine students they were. Gifted with potion making. I daresay you will follow suit. Or perhaps you're a flyer like your father! No time for speculation I suppose. Don't be modest in wowing me with your cure for boils, Imelda.'
  
  Imelda tried very hard to hide her embarrassment. Professor Slughorn could not surely be assuming she would be some sort of prodigy at potions just because of her family name. She certainly hoped now that she would not disappoint him, and nerves were beginning to riddle her.
  'Oh...r-right Professor Slughorn. I won't let you down!' She tried to smile confidently and was relieved when the professor made a beeline for Midas instead. Imelda stared down at the snake fangs set out before her with a look of uncertainty. Great, now she had to be amazing.

Bailey, Gryffindor
Prefects Bathroom

And there she was. Just minding her own business. Doing her thing. Enjoying the peace and quiet. So of course someone would have to come along and ruin it. So of course someone would have to just waltz in when they were supposed to be elsewhere. Of all the most private places, someone had to intrude on the very first use of it.

Even as she saw another come in, she didn't bother to hide her cigarette. They would have seen already by now, so if it was a teacher then she could at least get a few more drags before they got taken away. It wasnt a teacher. Just another prefect.

"Oh. Its you. Great." The red head said dryly. Of course the girl didn't expect someone to be here. That was the whole point of coming in here at this time in the first place. "But someone is here. So you can turn around and leave."


The question, however, was a curious one. Not exactly what Bailey expected the second thing out of the girls mouth to be. "Its a cigarette, dumbass. What does it look like?" She said tartly. Though Bailey knew full well that this muggle thing was not something witches and wizards have really seen. In fact if it wasn't for her squib uncle, she wouldn't even know what these were either. But she wasn't about to pass on a chance to make someone feel stupid.

Pearl didn't exactly see why just because someone else was here she had to leave it wasn't like everyone got to bathe alone here and the tub was more than large enough to fit every female prefect and given them all space. Peral to liked space but she assumed from most of the baths from previous years most did not mind less than spacious baths and most did not have them. Pearl just assumed bailey was shy and as a prefect that was not good. Maybe that was why she was a bully she just could not express herself, that was something pearl could get she had that issue as well. Still bailey had answered her question though any feeling of stupidity was lost on pearl she had not known that was why she had asked. The name a cigarette really marked it out as a muggle thing not a wizard thing as it's looks suggested. Pearl while being a pureblood was interested in muggles and found the ignorance of most wizards on muggle culture almost disturbing in it's ignorance. Her own prying for information from muggle born students had revealed just how far muggles had advanced and in many ways beat out anything a wizard could do.

" I would not ask if I had recognized it " Pearl said bluntly not even trying to cover any pride as others might she had not known " It is much different than wizards pipes, an improvement to me " Pearl continued seeing the light wrapping and small amount as easier than a pipe lighter and Tabaco pouch needed for traditional wizard smoking. " If you have another may I try one if not would you mind sharing yours?" Pearl asked her cold emotionless tone constant through every word despite her curiosity which eclipsed any social norms when it came to trying something new.

Bailey gave Pearl a hard look. This white haired chick was always an odd duck. At first Bailey wasn't really sure how to respond. The default string of insults did not seem to fit at the moment. Though an idea did occur to her. Pearl didn't seem like a smoker. Pipes or otherwise. So this actually could be pretty interesting to see. The statue of the girl getting high or have a coughing fit or both. Could be pretty funny.

"Alright then." She would say finally. Taking the cigarette from between her lips and proffered it in Pearls direction. It still had about three quarters left. No sense in wasting a new one on someone who would likely throw it away after a single puff. "Here. Take it. Just put it to your lips and suck. And don't be a baby and avoid inhaling it. Get a good long one in you."


Once Pearl did take it, Bailey would get herself another one. Reaching into her bundled robes to pull one from a glossy green case. She lit it with a simple tap from her wand. And watched Pearl expectantly. This would be fun to watch.

Pearl thought it would have been easier for Bailey to just get her a new one, but well looking gifted thestral in the mouth and all that. Pearl took the cigarette and as there was one bubble the two would need to be very close or she would need her own. Pearl thought about it for only a moment before with a motion the let go of the cigarette and instead of falling it remained floating. It was not something she showed off but pearl could manage to to do magic both without words and her wand to a degree. Pearl would without saying a word quickly disrobe, which she was going to do anyway, though unlike bailey she was not neat about it and would just dry her robes with magic.

Once pearl was sufficiently lacking lacking clothes she slipped into the bath right next to bailey, much closer than likely any sane person would dare, though what insane person would strip in front of the school bully in the first place. To Pearl nothing was wrong it wasn't like normal dorms had private baths, she also needed to be close to bailey for the bubble to catch the smoke, and she was going to take a bath cigarette or no. So this solved everything all at once. When Pearl was leaning against the tiles literally right against bailey the cigarettes floated back to her outstretched hand.

Taking a puff Pearl would do as Bailey helpfully suggested and inhale the smoke as Bailey had predicted correctly she was no smoker. The burning acrid smoke would make it's way down her throat and into her lungs and as predicted Pearl would cough, but not as much as one would expect from a none smoker. While the Tabaco was new to Pearl inhaling hot smoke was not, she had more than a few secret potion failures under her belt over the years that had resulted in a lot of smoke. Pearl would cough a little the bubble trying to catch the erratic puffs of smoke from her and the smoke from bailey as well.

" Muggles do make the most convenient things even if the taste is just above failed potion" Pearl said still not sounding any different from normal and likely to throw the cigarette away. The idea that her lips were where Baily's had been never even occurring as Pearl took a second attempt at the cigarette, she had it so she would finish and maybe it might bet better after acclimating to it.

DORIAN T. GRAY
(Slytherin)
location: Potions Class with: Midas PixieDust ​

Theo did not bat an eye at the way her twin sister was crying as if it was the end of the world while clinging to her jumper.

"Could you please let go of my clothes, Alexandra. I intend to get inside the train still wearing them.", she said extracting her sister's hands from herself, "Unfortunately, is not like I won't come back home ever again."

The ride to Hogwarts was a dreadful affair, and she wasn't looking forward to a repeat for the next seven years, of that much she was sure. Too many kids running around, screaming over one another driving her almost to the breaking point, you could see it in the way one of her eyes seemed to develop a tic. Theo exhaled in relief when the train came to a stop, the first years were all rushed outside.

From there everything was a bit of a blur, with Theo a bit bored until she got a glimpse of the castle, it was breathtaking. She also didn't pay any attention to the sorting ceremony, the Hat putting her in Slytherin also didn't seem to make a difference in the girl expression. She just hoped her classes would be more interesting than this entire day has been so far, I mean, even Emery talking about magical law and politics was less boring than those last few hours.

Theo went to bed as soon as her House's Prefect finished giving her welcome to the new faces.

As they say: early to bed... well... Early to something else.

As soon as she woke up the albino girl went to take a shower, hoping that would help her feel more alert. It worked somehow. She brushed her hair and pondered into braiding it, but she lacked the patience to work through the long white hair and just dried and left it straight, some strand framing the red eyes and put on her uniform. She quite liked the silver and emerald green of her House crest and tie.

Going back to her room she made sure she had anything she would need on her bag for the day and took it with her on her way to breakfast, after all, it would be a waste of time to walk that distance twice after getting her timetable just to retrieve a bag. Her breakfast consisted of a simple cup of black tea, with two sugars and lemon balm before getting her schedule and deciding to find the potions classroom.

When she got inside some other students were already there, sitting at their tables in small groups.

"Great.", she thought to herself, "Now I have to sit with someone I don't know. This should go just fine... And why am I being sarcastic in my head? Get your act together, Theodora!"

Red eyes went around until resting at a table that was empty except for the Gryffindor first year that she was pretty sure was sorted before her, but she couldn't recall his name, or even care to try for that matter. She just went straight to his table, stopping by his side.

"Is it free?", she asked indicating the space next to him with a slight tilt of her head that made the white hair move catching the light, however, those blood-red eyes never leaving his face, looking for any signs that he would rather not have to share a table with her. But no matter how unsettling her overall appearance could be, Theo is on the short side, almost tiny and far too thin to represent any danger. Just hoping that she could find a place to sit before the Professor's eyes could find her and somehow find out her mother maiden name or some other stuff because the man seemed interested in anyone that was anyone in the wizarding world.
