Thread: Hogwarts Horror Stories. (Malin & Darkangel76)

Simon's hand was warm to the touch, a nice contrast to the chill that hung heavy in the air thanks to the dampness and rain. As Felicity listened to the Slytherin speak, she couldn't help but smile. It was nice to know he wanted to drop the formalities as they sat there in the car together. It was always difficult to tell who was all right with what. She'd had a time or two in the past when someone would give her a glare if she'd addressed them too informally. So, she now made it a rule to err on the side of cautiongo with the formal and let them dictate whether or not it was too much. Giggling softly, she adjusted her robes, enjoying the soft feel of the material as it brushed against her skin. It was warm and dry, soaking up the damp of her clothes little by little. It wouldn't be long before she was dry and much more comfortable. As it was, she could hear the heaters clanking and sputtering, mustering up what they could as the train began to make its way along the tracks that would eventually take those on board to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Well, Simon, Felicity said, her cheeks pink as she clutched onto her Ravenclaw robes. I suppose you and I have something in common at least. Her smile broadened as she hinted about how the two of them were tardy for their arrival for the train. Let's just hope we can both fix that when classes start. A tiny laugh erupted from her lips and she reached up a hand to cover her mouth. Though, my lateness was entirely out of my control. Muggle cars are very unreliable and I ended up having to walk several blocks on my own. She sighed softly. Fortunately, the rain held off for most of my walk. Felicity bit down on her lip and tilted her head. Her trip to Kings Cross had definitely been eventful. Her parentsboth muggleswere supposed to have dropped her off only a block from the station so that she could easily walk to the barrier with her belongings without much trouble. She could then say her goodbyes and board and have had plenty of time to get settled on the train. Unfortunately, on the drive, the vehicle ended up getting a flat and her parents did not have a spare. Being only sixteen, she was not allowed to use magic outside of school. Plus, there was the added fact that she was in an area surrounded by muggle onlookers. Since her parents had accidentally forgotten their cell phones, she'd had no means of getting anywhere easily, her only option... walking. As for Prefect? I really do not know whom to expect, to be perfectly honest. I'd heard whispers last year that Winifred Weatherwax might be in the running for Ravenclaw. But these are merely rumors, Felicity stated, her lips still quirked upward in a smile. She ran her fingers through her dark tresses trying to get out some of the tangles caused by the wind and the rain. Course wise, well, I plan on taking a fairly interesting load. Felicity paused and sat back. A chill ran down her spine suddenly, which caused her to giggle and blush. Tugging at her robes, she adjusted herself and curled up in her seat across from Simon. I'm taking the core classes, of course. But I plan on taking Arithmancy and Ancient Runes as electives, Felicity beamed. I was tempted to ask about the Time Turner though. Rumor has it that one of the 'infamous trio' back during the Second Wizarding War used one. She let out a dreamy sigh. Just think of how many more things you could learn if you had one of those! Shaking herself from her reverie, she looked over into Simon's eyes. Still, I'm pretty happy with my schedule. I'm rather looking forward to potions quite honestly. She giggled and blushed. It's my favorite. How about you? Felicity shifted in her seat and leaned forward attentively, her head propped up on her hand as she looked at Simon.
