==Successors of Salazar (Abdicated)==
"Outstanding performance." *He nursed his broken wrist which he blamed no one but himself for. There were a million things he could or and should have done different. He thought about each one as he murmured his congratulations to the victors while making a hasty exit off the pitch.*
"First year jitters. Everyone loses sometimes." *He was absolutely crushed much like his wrist was. He felt so stupid for making such a rookie mistake when the team was so close to winning. Mistakes were for practice. He kept telling himself. Some barely registered inner voice tried reason with him, and come to his defense reminding him it was his first year on the team, that was nor a good enough excuse. He had been following quidditch since he was seven years old. He knew better than to take risks, he simply failed to perform to the best of his ability.*
*He casts a Hot Air Charm and begins applying heat to a melting point careful to keep the mess he is making with the dripping wax contained on the canvas.*
"Do you not want to be with me? Because I cannot be with you, if you are not willing to take care of yourself?"

{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:54, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd held the door open for his mother, and little sisters waiting until they had passed through the doorway before he walked in behind them protectively. After a little encouragement, he called out for the shopkeeper.* "Hello?"}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=06:15, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Steve's up on a top shelf, cleaning, and hops down, using his TK to marginally slow the last eighteen inches of his descent and find his footing, then strolls over, hand out.* "Steve Shunpike, manager - how can I help?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:22, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd offered his firmest handshake, and gave a slight nod.* "Hello, Mister Steve Shunpike. I-I need a wand."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=06:47, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *With a gentle smile, he waves a hand to indicate their surroundings.* "We seem to be in the right place. So, to find the 'best fit', so to speak, I'll need to know about you. What can you tell me?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:05, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*He smiled back almost laughing.* "I'm the oldest. These are my little sisters." *He pointed to the little girls smiling more as he pointed to the littlest one who looked the most like him.* "I want to learn as much as I can so I can protect them and help teach them about magic when they are my age. I know some stuff about making potions, and I like charming chocolates." *He paused scratching at his ear.*}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=07:19, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Hi gaze takes in the young ladies, and his comments encompass them as much as the young man before him.* "An admirable ambition, but we could do to expand on it. A name might help, and some sense of specifics - what, for example, are you most looking forward to, among the classes you've heard of?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:29, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded, and started to introduced his sisters before realizing theirs were probably not what Mister Steve meant by a name.* "That's... I'm Zayd, and I like Potions, and Charms, and Flying."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=07:40, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= "OK, Zayd, when you say you like Flying, does that mean you've tried it already?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:42, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd= "Yes, Mister Steve. I've been practicing since I was seven."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=07:45, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= "So, which of the four Houses would you like to be Sorted into - and why?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:48, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd= "I'd like to be in any house. I think I would be able to find my way in all of them."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=07:52, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *He's somewhat surprised by the maturity of the answer, and it shows - momentarily - on his face.* "OK, what do you value most in a friend?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:55, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd= "Honesty. My friends can tell me anything."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=07:57, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Again, on the unexpected side, but this time he was ready.* "What's the best bit of magic you've heard of?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:59, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughs.* "Multiplying food!"}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=08:06, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *The young man is a perplexing mix of the pragmatic, whimsical and philosophical. A sudden thought strikes Steve, and he saunters into the backroom, to emerge in moments carrying a wandbox from which he is still wiping the dust.* "I think, and it's only an impulse, but I think we may have just the thing here. Acacia and Jarvey Tooth, ten and a half inches. Give it a twirl." *He holds out the open box.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:11, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd eyes bulged nearly out of his head, and despite his trying he was unable to bite back his smile any longer. He looked at Mister Steve before he dared lift a hand to pick it up. He lift the wand carefully with his left hand, and cradled it with his right. Again, almost as if looking for permission he looked at Mister Steve before twirling the wand gently.*}}
{{GM|time=08:20, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|name=Jiskran|text= [[File:Free Energy - Something In Common (Live at The Woods)|thumb|right|335 px]]*Tiny 'bullets' of light shoot from the wandtip, changing direction in mid-air and tracing a dodecahedral structure in the centre of the shop, a multi-coloured phenomenon which pulses and begins to emit the strains of a song.*}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:27, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's jaw drops. He stares at the structure in a trance smiling to the oohs and aahs of his little sisters, and the sounds of music.*}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=08:29, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *Steve simply waits, giving the moment - its moment.*}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:34, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*As the girls clap Zayd looks at his family to notice that not one, but both his little sisters seems to be showing their fondness for him. He turns back to Mister Steve more confident than ever.* "What happens next?"}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=08:39, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *He indicates the superscription over the door.* "Well, Zayd, despite what it says there, acceptance needs to be mutual, so the question is - does this feel like the wand for you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:43, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked at the wand, and thought about what he felt. He looked at Mister Steve, and nodded.* "Yes. This is my wand."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=08:46, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *With a slight grin.* "In which case, that will be eleven Galleons, please, Zayd."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:51, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd slipped a few fingers into his pocket and grabbed all the money his mother had given him before they walked in. "Here you are Mister Steve."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=08:55, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= *He carefully hands the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth Galleons back to the young man.* "Some people around here may not forgive you if you don't have the funds for ice-cream to celebrate after this. It's a valuable item, but as you saw, it's been collecting dust here for some long time - or rather, waiting for you, if you choose to see it that way."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:02, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked at the Galleons in his hand, and reached into his pocket for five more.* "My mother said these were for you."}}
{{Steve Shunpike|time=09:06, May 13, 2015 (UTC)|text= "And my boss says we don't take tips, just unite wands and wielders. So, what can we do? I know. *From under the counter he digs out an old charity box, and drops the coins in one by one.* "Honour is satisfied." *He grins at the younger man again.* "Always a solution, if we look around enough."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=~~~~~|Zayd=*Zayd laughed, and nodded.* "Thank you, Mister Steve. I'll see you next year. We'll be back for her." *He pointed to his sister who swiftly grabbed hold of his finger, and punched him in his arm behind their mother's back as they were leaving.*}}

{{GregB|time=17:11, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= He sat down in front of her. "I can't exactly see the future, y'know.." He grinned. "I do know I'd like to be Hufflepuff." He shrugged, "What about you?"}}

{{GregB|time=17:38, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Well you'd certainly fit in in Ravenclaw." He noted.}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:59, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd grin. "Thanks!" She'd look around. "So...do you know anyone else in our year?"}}
{{GregB|time=18:02, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= He grinned back at her. "Neil, my brother, is in our year, and I met two girls during summer that are starting this year. Their names were Manon and Emily, if I'm not wrong."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:03, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She would smile...she was getting excited about meeting everyone. "I hope they get here soon..."}}
{{GregB|time=18:07, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Neil is around, I just don't know where exactly. Probably snuck into another carriage." He frowned. "Anyways, do you have any siblings already in Hogwarts?"}}

{{GregB|time=18:28, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "I have two older sisters already in Hogwarts, plus my brother which started this year, like me. I have two younger sisters, as well." He smiled.}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:29, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She would nod. She knew what it was like to be in a big family. "So...which ones do you get along with, and which ones do you not?"}}
{{GregB|time=18:32, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "I get along with all of them." He shrugged, looking out the window. "I can say who I'm closest to, though. It'd have to be Charlotte and Neil." He looked back at her. "You?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:34, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda="I'm closest to my oldest sister, Charity, who's graduated."}}
{{GregB|time=18:45, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= Greg nodded and looked back out the window. "I wonder who else is in our year.."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:47, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She would shrug. "Hopefully a lot of nice people to be friends with."}}
{{Kibeth|time=18:51, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Manon=She'd beenGreg looking in each carriage for one already containing people, as there was no reason to be a loner. Extroverts were largely successful in social life, so she would be an extrovert. Spotting Greg & Melinda through one of the windows, she slid the door half-open. "Mind if I join you?" She asked politely, putting on her smile.}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:52, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd smile, and shake her head. "We don't mind. I'm Melinda!"}}

{{Bond_em7|time=19:50, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod in agreement. "Hopefully Ravenclaw."}}
{{GregB|time=20:09, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|text= "Why do you guys like Ravenclaw so much?" He asked curiously.}}{{Kibeth|time=20:17, April 20, 2015 (UTC)|Manon="Why wouldn't we?"}}

I pictured us sitting in the common room trading notebooks back and forth trying to write these two different stories at the same time."}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:16, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess laughed. "That would be funny."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:44, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I think we could make it work." *He shrugged.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:49, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess grinned. "Yup. If we put our heads together we would."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:52, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We could." *He smiled, and nodded enthusiastically.* "But I don't think we should. If we keep writing stories together, more than these two. Then, maybe we could try to write two of them at the same time." *He shrugged. Feeling like he was repeating himself, he laughed.* "Did I already say that?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:54, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shrugged. "I don't know." She grinned}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:57, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Does that mean you weren't listening?" *He frowned a little, but forced himself to smile trying to sound playful and match her grin.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:59, July 16, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=His comment prompted a frown. "Of course I listened."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:07, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="But... then... Why did you say you didn't know?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:09, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="I don't remember the whole conversation." she said kindly.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:11, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tossed his head back and laughed. He grimaced when he looked back at Tess with a smile on his face.* "That's a good point. I don't either, but I really think I started repeating myself. I guess you would have just let me." *He scratched his ear chuckling to himself in embarrassment.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:13, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="I would have." she said smiling. }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:20, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That's not nice, Tess. Letting people repeat themselves. You could make a person think they're crazy."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:22, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess crossed her arms across her chest, almost as if she was holding herself together. "I don't speak up much." she said simply and quietly}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:28, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't know why. We've been talking to one another most of the time that I've been in here. Most of the time you've been here too, I think. You don't always have to speak to let people know that you're listening." *He shrugged. He knew that much about her, that she didn't say much. It didn't make sense to him. They were having a nice conversation, and technically she spoke to him first.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:35, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shrugged. "Well, actually, I only talk when someone actually says something. You said hi at the beginning so I said hi..." she looked at Zayd.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:39, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="What?!" *He was astounded. For that moment, that one word was all he could think to say as he picked his jaw up off the floor.* "How can you possibly remember back that far? I thought I waved at you, and you said hi to me." *He thought what he remembered was right. Trying to think back... he was starting to remember it the other way.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:42, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nearly jumped a foot in the air. "Well, I remember things that seem important to me." she shrugged. Don't all people do that?}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:44, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't know." *He shrugged.* "I don't know a lot of people."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:49, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess blinked. "What?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:53, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="What I mean is I'm not sure of what I'm going to think is important. Talking to you right now everything seems important, but I know I can't remember it all." *He shrugged again.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:55, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "Well, that's thing. You remember what your subconscious deems important. At least, that's what I think. Correct me if I'm wrong."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:01, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't know, but I don't like it. That means my subconscious doesn't think much of the conversation is important, yet. Except for what we said about the stories. That's all up there." *He pointed to his head.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:03, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shrugged. "That's okay. The fact that you are going to remember the stories is pretty good."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:23, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I hope I do. If my subconscious doesn't decide something else was more important.* *He laughed.* "Maybe I should stick to drawing."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:20, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess eyes widened. "Hey! Would you mind teaching me to draw? Then we can both be sharing what we like to do!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:30, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I can try." *He shrugged.* "I think drawing, I think a lot of things are easy for some people and harder for other people. I mean even if I can't teach you how to draw, I'll still give it a shot."}}{{MerisaMist|time=15:32, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess smiled. "Thanks! All that matters is you trying." she shrugged}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:46, July 17, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I hope you have fun in Paris." *He nodded hoping she would make it back in time for the train ride to Hogwarts.* "Summer was pretty boring for me.

"Sure."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:19, July 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Thanks Tess" *He walked in and sat down beside her, pulling out his little grey journal from his bag.* "I didn't see Seline anywhere.

"I'm sort of what?" she asked curiously. She glanced at her cover and saw one, "Well, for the quidditch one I have two choices. One, 'A Muggle-Born's Feelings on Quidditch'.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:17, July 22, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked at Tess apologetically.* "No. No, not you, you. I mean you as in people.

I can't wait to see some of your artwork." she smiled kindly.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:43, July 22, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked down at his book. He could show Tess right now, but if she didn't like either he wasn't sure if she still wanted to work on their books anymore.* "Maybe we should write a little of it first?

{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:50, July 22, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="The quidditch part comes later. We can watch the games this year, and we can use them to describe the action in the story." *He shrugged.* "If the story starts from the beginning you have to write about you now.

One of those parts that we would have to write about quidditch."}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:52, July 22, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess grinned.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:57, July 22, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I thought we would... that I would write, and you would write." *He scratched his ear nervously.* "I can't decide how your character feels, because she's you.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:02, July 23, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="But that's what I mean. If we spend the whole year with me teaching you about quidditch, and writing together, and whatever else happens.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:34, July 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed.* "No, you keep that in mind. If I were your squire, Lady Tess, you would have to tell me what to do.

This carriage is a little bumpy, and I drew it too fast."}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:22, July 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess looked at him with confusion written on her face. "I think the carriage is unique." she smiled meaning the words that she said}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:24, July 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="The ride to Hogwarts doesn't have to be unique too.

That's great, but how many of these people are in our year?" *He already knew the answer.* "Not many, that makes it scary to me."}}{{MerisaMist|time=23:42, July 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="It's why I don't exactly like going to Hogwarts." she shrugged. "But I do like learning more about magic though. That makes it worth it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:52, July 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Hogwarts isn't bad. Being sorted is pretty bad. It divides us, when I think we should stay together.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:17, July 25, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It is." *He nodded.* "And sometimes, it's not too, because of all the different plants and animals parts it gets confusing.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:26, July 25, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It is pretty gross." *He scrunched his face as he nodded.* "It's always worth it to me when I can make a potion right.

{{MerisaMist|time=19:41, July 25, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="No. Magic makes things easier. So, without using your wand as much, it makes it difficult."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:33, July 26, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't think so." *He shook his head.* "I think we all have a form of magic we are better at than other people are. We all started out using magic without a wand. Using it now, it's sort of ... like a cup holding water."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:36, July 26, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess looked at Zayd curiously and asked, "What do you mean?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:40, July 26, 2015 (UTC)~|Zayd="We only use our wands to help us focus, to help us control our magic. I didn't mean that our wands hold our magic, I meant that they were the cup we drink the water out of." *He shrugged frowning as he was certain he had not made much sense.*}}

{{MerisaMist|time=18:05, July 31, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess smiled in response. She listened and thought over the words. "Walk like an Egyptian?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:00, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd put his book between his legs to free up his hands. He laughed at himself as he tried to do the dance.* "Like this?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:03, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess giggled. "Maybe." she started to follow along with huge grin on her face.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed harder watching Tess join him.* "I think I might be doing it wrong." *He stopped to watch for a second before trying to copy her moves.* "This is how Egyptians walk."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:11, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. She continued to do the dance when an idea struck her. "What if it's meaning something else? Like it's history?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:19, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd kept doing the dance with a little less enthusiasm mostly keeping the movement limited to his arms.* "Hogwarts or Egypt?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:21, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Egypt." her mind was in overdrive. She was already imagining the possible outcomes}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:27, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's arms fell to his sides.* "Tess. You're descended from the Ancient Egyptian Queen. You're the next female pharaoh of Egypt. ..." *He thought about his drawing, of Tess a a Queen. He knew they were probably over-exaggerating. but it all seemed to make sense to him.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:29, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess smiled. "I'm too pale to be related to an Egyptian Queen. Or would that change over time-? Eh. Anyways. If anything you'd be the next pharaoh."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:36, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm a peasant. You're real-deal royalty in my opinion."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:10, August 1, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess bit her lip. "I don't think I would make that great of a pharaoh. The headdress would be too heavy anyways." she laughed. "I don't think you would be a peasant."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:46, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed at Tess' comment about the Egyptian crown and smiled.* "I keep telling you. That what would make you a good... a great Queen." *He thought to himself. You don't see me for what I am, you see me the way you want to.* "As the Queen, I don't think you would have to wear the headdress if you didn't want to, and if it was too heavy they would have to make a lighter one just for you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:54, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shook her head. "Oh no. I wouldn't want them to do that. I still think you'd make a better ruler then I would."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:58, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Why?" *He picked up his journal looking at it more than her.* "What could possibly make me a better ruler than you?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:00, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="You don't seem to be afraid of people." she said quietly yet strong}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm not afraid when I don't have a reason to be."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:10, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess pointed at him. "Exactly."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:15, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled.* "That wouldn't make me a good ruler, Tess. It would make me a fool." *He shrugged.* "Everyone should have a little bit of fear."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:17, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="You wouldn't be a fool. If anything you'd be wise and respected." she then whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "You wouldn't freeze up when someone new came into your castle or pyramid."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:21, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Not if they came there to hurt me or my family."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:22, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "That's normal though."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:27, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Is it?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:28, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= "Yes. I would be worried if you weren't afraid."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="... That's the thing. I wouldn't be afraid."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:33, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess blinked. "And why's that?" She felt a surge of worry towards him.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:36, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Because I'd be more angry than anything else."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:37, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "Well, that's also normal."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Is it? I think it's bad, it's wrong."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:41, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="How is it wrong for you to be angry at someone who wants to hurt you and your family?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It's wrong to not have moral sense. To have no mercy."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:46, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "True..." she said reluctantly}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:57, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt increasingly uncomfortable. He never wanted Tess to hear that, or know that about him. Worse yet was he told her himself.* "I ... I have to go. I'll see you later." *He backed away and turned to leave.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:58, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess looked at Zayd leave and managed a feeble "Wait."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:06, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd heard her, and he wanted to do just that. He was too embarrassed by his own honesty to look at her or let her look at him.* "I'm sorry, Tess... I-I can't. I have to go." *He picked up his pace trying to disappear.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:08, August 2, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess slumped and let out a single tear. "I'm sorry too."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:33, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd moseyed his way up the stairs to the seventh floor trying to get a better feel of the dizzying height from the top of staircase. He noticed the patter on the ground floor, and truly he only wanted to see it from some form of a "bird's eye" view without using magic.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:35, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess walked up the stairs, clutching her notebook to her chest. She wanted to be away from the crowded hallways and common room.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:45, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stared downwards at the pattern on the ground floor. His eye sight may not have been that good, but he did have an advantage. He already knew what the pattern looked like from close up. He smirked, and opened his grey journal placing an elbow in the top left and the lower right corner as he tried to keep his book balanced enough for him to draw in while perched on the railing.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=17:49, August 10, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess saw Zayd. She bit her lip nervously as she continued. Almost on reflex though, she said, "Hey."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:58, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's eyes widened momentarily, and his back stiffened.* "Hey, Tess." *He took a deep breath, and tried to relax. He tried to focus on replicating the pattern from the ground floor.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:02, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess bit her lip. Darn it. Why did I say something? "Are you alright?" she asked quietly. Great. You go and do it again.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:05, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I am." *He looked toward her.* "Are you?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:08, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shrugged. "I've been better." she looked at him. "Did I do something wrong? You left in such a rush..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:15, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked back his drawing.* "No. No you didn't' do anything wrong. I'm sorry if I made you think you that."}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:16, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay." she then asked, "Then why did you leave so quickly?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:21, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd frowned.* "I didn't like what we were talking about, and I didn't want to talk about it anymore. I guess I could have told you that instead of walking away."}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:22, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded. "Alright. What have you been up to?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:29, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I started drawing a few of the towers last year. There are a handful of towers left around the school that I haven't drawn yet. Some of them I know I'll never get to see. I was trying to see if I could at least see the inside of most of them." *He peered down at the floor then back at his drawing.* "You said you've been better. What's wrong?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:33, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess smiled. "That's cool." she then shrugged in response to Zayd's question. "It's fine. Really." she smiled. "Besides, we got a story to write and towers to explore."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:39, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled.* "Do you want to go see the game? Hufflepuff is playing Ravenclaw."}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:42, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess shrugged. "I'm not big on quidditch. Do you want to go?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:48, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We wouldn't be going because I like it, and you don't. We would go for the story we're writing." *He looked over at Tess.* "There will be other games, we don't have to go now."}}{{MerisaMist|time=17:52, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "Alright. Why don't we go to the finals? We could then write about the rush of excitement that comes with it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:58, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That's a really good idea, Tess. I don't think we'll be able to capture it. Not without talking to some of the players on our team. Maybe even players from the other teams to see how they feel about it, what they think about when they head out onto the pitch."}}{{MerisaMist|time=18:00, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Tess nodded. "That's also a great idea." she then thought for a moment. "But how are we supposed to do it?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:07, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="What do you mean?" *He shrugged.* "We ask people who play quidditch questions about quidditch. Like reporters would."}}{{MerisaMist|time=18:13, August 11, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Well yeah but how will we get a hold of the quidditch players?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We can't make them talk to us if they don't want to." *He shrugged.* "So? I guess? If we see anyone from any of the teams around school we ask them if we can ask them quidditch questions."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:16, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="That sounds reasonable."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:20, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded his head.* "Of course it does. I wouldn't make an unreasonable suggestion." *He paused.* "Unless I was making it as a joke."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:23, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Sometimes people make unreasonable requests without realizing it." She pointed out}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:27, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That's why I tried not to say that you should ask. I tried to include us both. That way you don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to. Forcing you to ask random people random questions seemed unreasonable."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:29, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. "Thanks for not asking me to do that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:33, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I would never ask you to do something you didn't want to do." *He shook his head.* "We don't need to ask anyone anything. It's our story, Tess. We can write it however we want."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:35, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess nodded. "Well, I would prefer not to talk to a lot of people. Though, I think you should decide."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:39, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We wouldn't have to talk to a lot of people, at least not a one time." *He stayed quiet in thought for a few seconds.* "I think you had a good idea in the first place. We should go to the finals. We should write about what it feels like to us, as the outsiders. It isn't like we are going to finish a story like this quickly. It'll probably take some time."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:41, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="We could do one section on an outsiders perspective and the other one on the players!" She said excitedly}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded grinning happily, he liked how Tess always came up with good ideas seemingly from no where.* "I don't know who is playing on any of the teams this year, not yet." *He shook his head.* "I think we should ask Melinda. From our year, she's in Slytherin?" *He looked to Tess to see if any sort of recognition.* "I know she played Chaser last year. Maybe she'll talk to us?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:47, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Bagman? Maybe?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:49, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded his head.* "I don't know anyone else. And, at least she is in our year. We could ask her after class. Anyone else we would have to look for, or be lucky enough to run into. Somewhere."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:08, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. "Sounds like a plan."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:10, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled.* "I've never talked to her before. She might not want to speak to either of us. But, it doesn't matter if she does or she doesn't." *He shrugged.* "We could always ask someone else."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:12, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="We could do that." She tilted her head in thought}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:15, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We might have to." *He glanced down at the floor below, then back at his book.* "If no one wants to talk to us, we'll have to make everything up anyways."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:52, August 18, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. "Do you want to go back to your drawing?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It's just the pattern on the floor below." *He shrugged.* "I can draw it anytime. Why? Do you want to be somewhere else?" *He closed his book, and brought it to his side as he looked at her.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:47, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She shook her head. "No. It just seemed like you wanted to draw."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:52, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I was drawing before you got here, but I think it's mostly done."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:59, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She tilted her head. "Can I see it?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:04, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's face scrunched uncomfortably at her request as he handed over the book.* "It's just the pattern on the floor, Tess. You could look over the railing to see that." *He laughed nervously as he showed her the drawing.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:06, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled at the drawing before handing it back. "Yeah but I like taking a glimpse of the way you see the world. Your drawing's great by the way."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:08, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It's just the floor. It's not that great." *He looked away taking his book back laughing even more nervously as he tucked it back under his arm.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:12, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess smiled genuinely. "Of course it's great!" She noted the laugh.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:16, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd rolled his eyes a playful smile on his face.* "You don't have to give me compliments for me to like you, Tess. I don't know if I can even like you more than I already do." *He shrugged.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:20, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess tilted her head. "But I'm telling the truth." She said seriously. She looked at him curiously. "What do you mean by,'don't know if I can even like you more than I always do'?"She asked as she quoted}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:27, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I-I said al-already." *He stuttered as he corrected her. He tried to clear his throat hoping it would help him to speak more clearly.* "I do like you, always. You're my friend, Tess. If I didn't like you, and you didn't maybe like me back, a little bit. I don't think we would talk about writing stories together. We probably wouldn't even talk to each other."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:31, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess thought about it for a moment. "Alright. That makes sense." She smiled.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:37, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded smiling back, and thinking on his words. What did he say? What did he mean?*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:43, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess, being the over thinker that she is, kept thinking of his words. }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:52, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Tess? Will you come with me? I want to show you something." *He headed for the stairs then looked back to see if she would follow him.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:55, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= His voice pulled her from her thoughts. She nodded. "Sure Zayd. I trust you." She followed him}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:00, August 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled at her use of the word, trust. It wasn't foreign to him, he knew what it meant. No one had ever used it when talking to or about him. Now that Tess had said it, he realized he liked being trusted.

I was going to keep it a secret, but I don't mind sharing it with you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:09, August 20, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Tess walked in, awe and wonder filled her eyes as she looked from one painting to the next.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:55, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd= "You don't have to thank me, Tess. We should both be thanking whoever decided not to use it anymore."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was not sure he knew that look, that glint he could see. Tess was infectious to him, and he smiled back at her.* "... What?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:12, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="What if, this is your destiny? Hear me out. What if, your meant to be the greatest artist in the world and you came back to Hogwarts to teach the future artists!" She grinned}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:17, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd started to laugh. He thought she was joking.* "Do you really think Hogwarts would let me come back here to teach? Art isn't even a class that's taught. I...I..." *He smiled staring down at the floor, scratching his ear nervously.* "I did think about that before. It was the same thought I had when I walked in here the first time. I felt like it was mine."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:20, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Yet. Art hasn't been taught her at Hogwarts, yet.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:23, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Anymore. It isn't taught anymore." *He laughed as he corrected her.* "It must have been taught here before. That has to be why this is here. This whole room couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere. Someone left it here, just the way it is." *He looked around the room imaging what it would be like if it was his.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:25, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. "What if your meant to bring it back?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:30, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="What if I can't? I don't know if I can teach art. I could probably teach you, but you're different.

{{MerisaMist|time=01:32, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="You don't have to show them your art. You just have to teach."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:34, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That sounds a lot easier for you to say that it would be for me to do."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:02, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm showing you how to draw. You could at least show me which supplies you would like to use, Miss Drade."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:06, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She bit her lip trying hard not to laugh. She opened her notebook to a empty page and pulled out a pencil. "Would this work, Professor?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:02, August 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Five points to Ravenclaw." *He smiled at her, and grabbed a few sheets of the smoothest blank white multi-purpose paper he could find from the supply table. He pulled a chair up to the table for Tess to sit in, he pulled another chair from one of the desks for himself. He went grabbed colored pencils, crayons, and a couple markers in basic colors.* "R O Y G B I V." *He pointed each letter out as he arranged them, laying out the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet all together in between them.* "I'm going to teach you how to draw a flower, Tess. First we're going to start with lines. Lines that go up and down, like casting Protego."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:44, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. "Okay." She stuck out her tongue in concentration as she drew a line}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:51, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Draw more than one, Tess. Try to put some space between them. Like this." *He laughed as she stuck her tongue out and, he picked up a pencil. He looked down at the paper as he pressed it to his it upwards light and quickly. He marked the paper repeatedly leaving lines about two fingers worth of space away from one another to the left, and on the opposite side about three fingers worth of space way.* "Now, you can draw a circle at the top of the lines. The circle can be what ever size you want. Small or big, all mine are different."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:53, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. She did as he said and drew the lines with different sized circles}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:05, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="This is easy. Right?" *He asked watching her draw circles.* "Now we can draw the flower petals, and the leaves on the stem. Make little 'U' shapes. Like teardrops around the circle. They can be big or small, even both. I think I'm making ... them..." *He tried to decide in the middle of drawing.* "Different." *Then draw a teardrop shaped 'V' on both sides of the line. "Can you see the flower now?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:08, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded as she stuck out her tongue in concentration again as she drew. It looked kind of weird, like the petals where v shaped}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:14, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Now you can color it in, use any color you want." *He picked two different green shades, and a black marker.* "With flowers it's usually the weirder they look the prettier they truly are. Do you want to give your flowers 'flower' names?" *He smiled watching her finish the petals while randomly alternating between his marker and pencil. He drew small mushrooms, leaves, and twigs edge of the page.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:16, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She colored in her flowers (they'd be purplish red). "Flower names?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:25, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Moly, Dittany, Camellia, Iris." *He began to absentmindedly turn a few of his flowers into Nasturtium, Dianthus and Primula.* "What's your favorite name? What's your favorite color?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:28, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="I really love the color blue, and a purple red." She said as she wrote Orchid}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:41, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd thought about Tess favorite colors, and started drawing the forest floor. He was adding more greens, shading with pencil grey. He took light shades of blues, and yellow working upwards from the forest floor to create a blue sunlight filled sky and a tower, Ravenclaw Tower in the distance.* "They could be a mixture of Lily-of-the-Valley, Tiger Orchids, and Fanged Geraniums. Tiger-Lily Geraniums?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:45, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She erases the word and wrote Tiger Orchid. "I don't know much about flowers." She said. She glanced at his drawing and smiled "Cool!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:50, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Thanks, Tess. Your Tiger Orchid's came out cool too. I'm really glad I showed you how to make them." *He smiled handing her a black marker.* "Sign your name in the corner of it, and write the date. Now that you how to make them we can make more. You can look at these to see how much better you get each time."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:52, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled as she signed her name. "Thanks for teaching me!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:59, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="We should draw something else tomorrow. What do you want to try?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:02, August 24, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded eagerly. "Maybe a person?"}}

Zayd and Tess (2026)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:29, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd set out a few sheets of white paper. A small stack for himself, and an equally small stack for Tess. He grabbed a large assortment of colored pencils, and markers. He was not entirely sure why he grabbed two pairs of scissors, he tried to convince himself they would not need them, but still he had them set aside as he down at one of two chairs. and busied himself drawing the quidditch pitch while he waited for Tess.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:33, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She walked into the room quietly. Tess saw Zayd and walked over to him. She sat down beside him and watched quietly at what he was drawing}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:48, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled to himself catching a glimpse of Tess watching him from the corner of his eye. He had obviously drawn the pitch, hoops on either end, and he started to draw brooms without riders.* "If you were playing, because you are the team Captain in our story, which position would you play?" *He paused to look up at Tess.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:50, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She tilted her head slightly, "I am?" she then answered the question,"I'd probably play chaser." she shrugged}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:55, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Yes, you are. Did you forget because we haven't worked on the story much?" *He stared back down at the paper in front of him still trying to perfect the angle of the empty brooms he had drawn in.* "I thought you would say Chaser, I like it when you say things like that. When I can picture it in my head. Tess Drade - Ravenclaw Quidditch Team Captain and Chaser." *He smiled more drawing fourteen little boxes around the edge of the paper.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:09, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Like what?" she asked as she continued to look at his drawing}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:18, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd filled two of the boxes around the edge of the paper with faces. He drew his own face in one, and in the second he drew Tess's face.* "Like in the Heiroglyphics Hall. When we danced, I mean walked like Egyptians. Or when I brought you here, and you said the same thing I was thinking. That this could be my office one day. Sometimes it feels like we think the same thing."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:20, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=Her face lit up at a possibility. "Perhaps we're mind readers!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:24, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="You would be the mind reader, Tess. I never know what anyone else is thinking. I've tried to guess, and sometimes I'm right. But, usually I'm not." *He started to fill in the rest of the boxes around the page with random faces, some of them resembling students from Ravenclaw.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:26, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Of course you are Zayd! Maybe you read emotions instead of actual thoughts." she said as if it was obvious. She looked at the boxes and grinned. "Is that the team?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:39, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Emotion-reader. That's funny, Tess. It'd be even funnier if you turned out to right." *His head fell back as he laughed.* "I don't know, but I think so. I drew Seline because she's in our year, and I drew a few other people I've seen in the common room before." *He pointed to the random people he didn't actually know the names of.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:41, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She looked at Zayd and then back at the drawing. "I recognize some of the faces. From class and stuff."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:51, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Probably from the Great Hall." *He nodded pointing to a set of boys.* "I don't know any of them, but I remember these guys from the feast." *He ran his finger under three boxes at the top of the page each with a very different girl.* "And I think I sat next to her, and maybe her after I was sorted. I don't remember where I saw her, but I do remember that she swore at me for staring at her."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:52, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She laughed. "Who swears at people for looking at them?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:56, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="She does." *He taps squarely on the face in the box before looking up at Tess.* "I haven't done it since. So. Maybe everyone should." *He shrugged.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:58, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Should everyone stare at her or swear when someone looks at them?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:06, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd sat quietly in thought.* "The first one... no, maybe the second one. No." *He shook his head, and his brow furrowed a little bit.* "I think if every stared at her she would swear at everyone. But, if everyone swore at people who looked at them how would people talk to each other?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:08, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="With a lot of bullying." she said in response to his question. She continued to look at his drawing}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:15, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd shrugged.* "Maybe. I bet some people could learn to communicate with swear words. If you say it with a smile it means something nice, if you say it with a frown it was something mean." *He followed Tess' eyes, and started to draw himself on one of the awkwardly angled brooms.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:18, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Possibly." she stared at the new figure he was drawing and smiled softly upon realizing who it was}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:23, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I couldn't do it. When people swear it makes me cringe, it's funny though, sometimes."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:25, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded. "I wouldn't be able to either."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:29, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd drew a small ball with wings, the snitch, just out of his reach. Then he moved on to drawing Tess standing on her broom with the quaffle in her arms.* "You're too nice of a person to swear at people all the time. I can't even imagine you swearing at someone if you were really, really mad at them."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:31, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She smiled. "I could see you being a seeker as well." she said.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:36, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="You're doing it again, Tess. Reading my mind." *Zayd smiled and bobbled his head oddly, left to right, then up and down.* "I thought you, and these two girls are Chasers, then these two guys are the Beaters, and the Princess of Swears is the Keeper. Then, I sort of have to be Seeker. Because Seeker was all that was left, but I'm also your Co-Captain."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:38, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She smiled. "I genuinely think you'd be a great seeker."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:47, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Maybe I would. I still think you'd make a great Captain." *He shrugged, having never put much thought into which position he would actually, if he ever actually played.* "We should go the training grounds when the weather gets a little warmer, hopefully there will be a lot of fliers out, maybe we could even watch some of the teams practicing."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:12, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="That would be cool. Maybe I could actually learn the rules and such." she said}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:51, September 4, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I could sit here tell you the rules, some of them, because I don't think I know them all. It's easier to learn things when you do it yourself. I think it is."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:01, September 5, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She looked at Zayd. "Okay." she agreed. She looked at the drawing again. Her head was slightly tilted as she looked at it, a smile slowly forming on her face}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:57, September 5, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd abandoned his drawing mid stroke leaving two unarmed beaters off to the left of the paper.* "Wasn't I supposed to be teaching you something?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=17:18, September 5, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She tilted her head. "You were? Oh yeah!" she said as she grinned.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:59, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I think you said people, or a person? We should start with faces first."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:40, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded. "Ready when you are, Professor." she smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:52, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That still sounds weird." *He smiled grabbing a fresh sheet of paper.* "Let start then." *He drew a large oval, an almost egg shaped circle in the center of the page.* "Do you want to draw someone you know?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:56, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She flashed him a grin at his first comment. "Okay."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:06, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Okay." *He nodded looking up from the paper.* "Who do you want to draw?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=15:08, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She thought for a moment. "I think I'm going to try to draw you."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:36, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Oh. Okay. Just remember. It doesn't have to be perfect." *He smiled a little until he realized it would probably be easier for her to draw him because he was right in front of her.* "Start by drawing the shape of my head. Then put a line down the center of my face, and another one across. From cheek to cheek." *He demonstrated drawing a vertical line, and a horizontal on the paper in-front of him.* "Like this."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=19:43, September 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded as she saw his example. She did her best, the head being more of a circle.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:36, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="That's really good, Tess." *He smiled encouragingly.* "Just add a little more to the bottom of that line that goes down the center. That'll be my chin. Make sort of a big, wide 'U' shape where the line is from one side of the circle to the other, and that'll be my jaw."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:57, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded as she did as he said. She was concentrating so her tongue stuck out just a little bit}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="This is the hard part. The eyes, the nose, the mouth, and ears." *He chuckled quietly watching her tongue stick out.* "Make two lines across the face, cheek to cheek, towards the bottom of the circle. That's where my eyes go. Make four more, two on both sides, for my ears. Then make one little line below the circle on that long downwards line at the bottom, and then another one a little ways under that to for my mouth."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:10, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She drew the lines, her tongue still slightly out of her mouth. She smiled when she was done. "How does that look?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It looks great so far, Tess. You're really good at this." *He smiled.* "Now, you just have to fill in the lines. Sketch the shape of my eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and eyebrows."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:17, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She went to sketching. The eyes looked like ovals though she envisioned them to be more almond shaped. The nose, mouth, and eyebrows turned out okay while the ears turned to circles.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:24, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Tess. You just drew my face." *He smiled almost posing so she could compare her drawing to his face.* "Now all you have to do is draw my hair, and the rest can be filled in with markers or color pencils. That was pretty easy, right?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:26, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She giggled at his pose as she began to draw the hair. Tess drew it kind of spiky for some odd reason. She showed him the drawing with a big grin on her face}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:31, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked at Tess' drawing then at Tess.* "It's like I'm looking into a mirror." *He laughed looking down at the faceless picture he had yet to finish.* "Hey, Tess? Why did you want to draw me?" *He quickly began sketching features of a little slightly pointed ears, a dainty nose, small lips, and perfectly rounded eyes.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:34, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She set her drawing down and answered, "I drew you because you are my friend. My best friend. I want to look at this picture years from now, and remember this moment."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:38, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="The moment when I taught you to draw a face." *He found it hard to believe he could be her best friend. Even though he did consider her the same.* ""I'm not your best friend though. Am I?""}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:40, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She giggled at his first comment. Then she turned serious at his second one. "You are." she answered.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:43, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Oh." *He smiled still filling out the face on the paper in-front of him.* "Then I guess this is moment we decided we're best friends."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:46, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She grinned at his words. Then she looked at his paper. "Who are you drawing?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:49, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="My best friend."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:52, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She continued to watch him draw and at his words, a grin appeared.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:55, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd finished drawing Tess' eyebrows and moved on to the long strands of her hair smiling as he was better able to see her on the page with each long line.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:58, September 7, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=She continued to watch the paper.}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:38, September 19, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd walked, at an excruciatingly slow pace, along the Viaduct. He had already drawn the balustrade, he was trying to move on from that. He wanted to draw the arches when he noticed his classmates.* "Oh. Hi. Rhea?"}}

{{Rhea Lindstrom|time=[[User:Fandomgirlforever|Fandomgirlforever]] ([[User talk:Fandomgirlforever|talk]]) 12:18, September 20, 2015 (UTC)|Rhea= She laughed at his first comment before nodding "Shoot"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:11, September 21, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Pow." *Enjoying her sense of humor he grinned slightly.* "Do you like it here? I don't mean here at the Viaduct. I mean here at Hogwarts?"}}
{{Rhea Lindstrom|time=[[User:Fandomgirlforever|Fandomgirlforever]] ([[User talk:Fandomgirlforever|talk]]) 12:04, September 21, 2015 (UTC)|Rhea= She laughed at the humour before shrugging "I guess, i mean i like classes, and learning about magic, but i miss home and my family and it's difficult when you don't like some people and have to see them everyday." She paused for a moment "Why?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:01, September 22, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded, he felt the same way. Mostly.* "That's sort of how I feel. I was really excited about being here first year, before I got sorted, I really like being in Ravenclaw though. I have a sister here now, and another one on the way. I guess ... I wanted to have more time to be here on my own before then." *He shrugged.* "I sort asked to see if it was selfish of me to feel that way."}}
{{Rhea Lindstrom|time=[[User:Fandomgirlforever|Fandomgirlforever]] ([[User talk:Fandomgirlforever|talk]]) 21:01, September 22, 2015 (UTC)|Rhea= She shook her head "It's not selfish at all, None of us want to have our younger siblings always around, I'm lucky in terms that my brother wont be here for a few more years, I got a letter yesterday saying he'd shown his first signs of magic and honestly? I was a bit annoyed about it, at first" She added the last bit in}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:21, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded trying to take Rhea's words for what he thought she meant. He wasn't being selfish for wanting to keep magic to himself or at least a little while longer.* "You're lucky." *He smiled a little.* "I wasn't annoyed, not at first, I felt kind of honored. It sounds weird now. What I mean is I was happy to be the one who got to go through everything first. That's changed now though, but I do still want to help them if I can."}}
{{Rhea Lindstrom|time=[[User:Fandomgirlforever|Fandomgirlforever]] ([[User talk:Fandomgirlforever|talk]]) 18:40, September 23, 2015 (UTC)|Rhea= She nodded "I know what you mean"She nodded "We knew nothing about magic, my mum hid it from us, so when it happened to me i freaked, so i know how scary it is, i want to be there for him, but i also don't want him here, it feels like my special place" }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:55, September 24, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I feel that way too, I did before my sister got here. For while I was worried she and I would be sorted in the same house." *He laughed then looked over his shoulder discreetly to make sure she wasn't there.* "I guess I got lucky Slytherin was calling her. At least you have some time before your brother gets here. How old is he?"}}

Stay away from that aisle at all costs. Unless if your siblings are there. he sighed.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:24, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tried to peer at his sisters through the aisle to make sure they were still together while picking up the bottles that were the most interesting looking, and inspecting them curiously.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:26, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|John= As he walked into the other aisle on the other side of the giggling girls, he would see someone from his year.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:31, September 30, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt the hair on the back of his neck stand on end hearing the girls giggle, it probably meant trouble would follow soon after.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, October 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess, but I think sisters are the worst. Have you noticed they sort of have their own secret language? It seems like it's mostly composed of looks at each-other, and spontaneous giggling."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:59, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't know." *He shrugged again.* "I guess, she makes me feel like she's the only person who's ever happy to see me."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:01, October 11, 2015 (UTC)|John=He nodded. "That makes sense."

Can you get better?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:08, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked at him. "I don't have the greatest immune system." She paused. "I can't ever get better."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:13, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm sorry, Tess. I had no idea." *He looked away feeling like a bad friend.* "We don't actually have to play, it was just an idea I thought would help us write better." *He looked at Tess again.* "I'm glad you decided to tell me."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:17, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="You don't have anything to be sorry for."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:20, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I still feel bad." *He shrugged.* "Have you known about this all your life or did you find out recently?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:22, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked at the floor. "All my life."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:26, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="What made you decide to tell me?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:29, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Your my best friend."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:33, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="You're my best friend too." *He smiled at her.* "And I'm really glad you are."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:35, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled as she hugged him. "I'm lucky that I met you, Zayd."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:38, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="It was fate, Tess. We were destined to meet, and become friends."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:42, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. She pulled away. "Destiny is a funny thing."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:46, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="When it works out like this. I guess it is."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:51, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. "I hope it always works out like this."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:54, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled a slowly forming bashful sort of grin.* "Me too."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:58, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess=The sight of his grin made her heart skip a beat. What's happening? She smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:05, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd silently admired Tess a few seconds longer.* "Have you had any inspiration? For our book?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:09, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She tucked her hair behind her ear. She looked around as she grabbed her pencil. "Yeah. Maybe at the end we can discuss trophies. Or, Maybe when the characters win?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:15, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Or when the characters lose?" *He smiled at his own suggestion.* "Maybe we can write about Ravenclaw having a team meeting here?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:16, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. "That's a great idea!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:19, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Thanks, Tess." *He smiled back at her.* "Are you still okay with us becoming Co-Captains in the story?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:22, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Of course!" }}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:24, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Good." *He nodded.* "I pictured you giving a rally cry in here. Last to arrive, for dramatic purposes, while you give a rousing speech to motivate the team for the last big win."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:30, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She thought for a moment. "Your more of the type to give a speech."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:32, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd knew why Tess would pass the task to him, still he asked.* "What makes you say that?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=05:36, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She shoved his shoulder playfully. "You know why."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:39, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I know." *He laughed.* "What if we sort of gave the speech together?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:42, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Um....Okay."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:43, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Really? I didn't think you'd like that either."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:49, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She shrugged. "I guess..." She bit her lip. "I can do anything as long as your by my side." She smiled}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=12:17, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked at Tess with a lopsided smile.* "Then I guess ... I'll try to stay by your-side."}}{{MerisaMist|time=19:34, November 9, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:23, November 10, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=14:45, November 10, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. "Sure. Ooh! Maybe we can go to Honeydukes!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:38, November 10, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Maybe we could go to the Hobby Hub, and The Three Broomsticks too."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:34, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stared at a random selection of potion ingredients gathered in-front of him, and scratched his head while he searched through his journal trying to figure out if he had chosen anything he was actually able to identify.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=03:38, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She would be sitting in the corner, studying from some color coded flash cards}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:54, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was becoming increasingly frustrated and he failed to notice he was skipping the very same pages he was hoping to find. He let his anger take over chucking his book at the table causing it to slide through handfuls of Polypody, Sopophorous Beans, Mistletoe Berries, and Dragonfly thoraxes. He groaned slouching forward in defeat.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:58, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= Her eyes widened in shock at the sudden noise and the Mistletoe Berries sliding in her lap. She looked up and saw Zayd. She picked up the berries from her lap as she got up and said as she held them up, "I think you dropped these." She said with a slight smile. He would see her bundled up in a jacket and scarf}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:02, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess I did." *He sighed reaching round to scoop up some Sopophorous Beans, and a couple Dragonfly thoraxes he only now recognized. He looked up at the voice that spoke as he rose upwards to place the beans on the table.* "Thanks, Tess." *He smiled at her before going to pick up rest of the Polypody still on the floor.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:06, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She grinned in return. "It's the least I could do." She set the berries on the table. "You missed the Yule Ball." She stated. She then asked, "Why are you down here? It's cold."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:16, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I know." *He frowned.* "Probably a first and last for me. I hope I didn't miss much." *He shrugged placing the last of the Polypody on the table.* "It is a bit chilly. It's not any colder than it usually is." *He looked at her tapping lightly on her scarf.* "I take it you don't do so well in the winter months."}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:19, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She blushed slightly at him tapping her scarf but nut enough for him to notice it was blushing or anything. "Not really. She you missed me learning how to dance." She said the last part with a hint of pride}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:28, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm sorry I missed it." *His fought the facial expression one side pulling downwards to frown, the other tugging upwards to smile.* "I guess you had a good time then?" *He bent over to pick up his journal forgetting he even had it with him.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:30, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked at him curiously because of the facial expression. "It was fun. Though a lot of people were acting weird."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:35, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd quirked a brow staring back at Tess once again.* "What do you mean weird? Does anyone at a wizarding school act normal?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:41, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="Weirder than normal. Like they were staggering around, talking funny...actually now that I think about it, I think they were drunk."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:43, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Drunk?!" *He laughed. He didn't believe it at first, but he didn't think Tess had any reason to lie.* "Did you get drunk too?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=04:48, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She shook her head. "Wasn't thirsty."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:50, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Good thing that." *He chuckled though the smile on his face changed.* "Did anyone get in trouble?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:53, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She tilted her head in thought. "I have no idea."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:56, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Probably better than way." *He shrugged.* "You didn't say. Who taught you how to dance?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:59, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess="John Roger." She said it like it was no big deal. He was just a friend after all.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:02, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="John? John Roger. Taught you?" *He began to grin certain now he heard correctly.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:03, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked slightly confused. "Yes?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:06, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I wouldn't have pictured him as a dancer."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:08, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked at him curiously. "Really?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:10, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="No." *He shook his head.* "I mean, yes."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=05:13, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked confused. "So, yes really?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:17, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Yes. Really." *He shrugged.* "He's in Slytherin. I thought they were grumpy and dreary by choice."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:19, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She giggled at that. "I think that's a stereotype. Like all Ravenclaws being extremely smart and kinda spacey."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:21, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't know about spacey, but we Ravenclaws definitely are extremely smart. Some of us more than others I suppose."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:26, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess. But there are all sorts of stereotypes. That doesn't mean we have to believe them."}}

{{MerisaMist|time=05:36, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She looked at him with curious eyes. "It's still weird. No matter what."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:40, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Agree to disagree." *He chuckled shrugging his shoulders.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=05:43, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She grinned. "Agreed."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:44, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Disagreed." *He laughed jokingly.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=05:46, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She giggled. "How was Christmas for you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:44, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="Speaking of weird." *He rolled his eyes.* "My aunt is a harpo... a harpy... a hypno...?" *He sighed struggling through the pronunciation in his head. "Hypochondriac. She always thinks she is sick with something even when she isn't. So. It wasn't great."}}{{MerisaMist|time=05:51, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She winced. "That must have been horrible."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:01, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="When she actually gets sick, and no one believes her. That's horrible. When she thinks she's sick, and she isn't it can be kind of entertaining."}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:02, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Tess= She tilted her head, "How so?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:05, December 6, 2015 (UTC)|Zayd="This one time she thought there was a parasite in her belly. It wasn't a parasite." *He stifled a laugh.* "Turned out she can't have too much dairy."}}

Zayd and Albion (2028)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:55, April 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was pacing as his eyes combed the racks searching for the required fifth year textbooks. He would have already bought them, studied them, and created annotated notes by now under normal circumstances, these however were not normal circumstances. He sighed as he moved to a lower section hoping to find something he was actually looking for, and not simply something that would only distract him from his goal.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:58, April 12, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= Emerging from the depths of the shelves with all of her textbooks, Albion walked through the crowded aisles, not paying attention to anyone else around her. She accidentally bumped into Zayd and stumbled backwards. "Excuse me, sir." Her accented voice was soft.}} 
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:05, April 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd cringed hearing himself referred to as sir.* "You are excused. But don't ever call me sir again, please." *He attempted a smile despite his current frustration.* "Did you need help carrying your books?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=03:14, April 12, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She shuffled the books, balancing them in her arms. "Will do. And I think-" the sound of shrieking cut her off as two kids chased past her, almost knocking her into Zayd. "Sorry," she said with a faint smile as she pushed herself off of Zayd. "Actually, maybe, if you don't mind." Her embarrassed smile made an appearance.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:24, April 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's brow furrowed as he watched the kids speed past Albion and himself. He looked back at her returning the smile.* "Not a problem. I offered, trust me I am happy to help." *He reached out to take the weight of her books.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=13:17, April 12, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She slid several of the books into Zayd's arms before following his gaze at the kids. "That's my younger brother and sister. Jonathan's the dark haired and Joan's the blonde." Both had looked up and chirped at their sister in Gaelic, giving her a wave and Zayd an eyebrow wiggle before dashing outside again. "I don't believe I got your name?" She asked, turning back to Zayd.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:18, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm glad you told me so, I felt 'dad voice' coming on." *He tried to gain some control of his features glad those two younger kids had been her siblings and not his.* "Is it just me or is it funny that you're willing to let a stranger carry your books?" *He smiled slipping Albion's books into one arm skimming titles as he did.* "My name is Zayd, by the way."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=00:57, April 13, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= "Scots have always been trusting of others, especially when they offer to help of their own accord." Was her reply, somewhat mysterious. "Nice to meet you too, Zayd. So, do you attend Hogwarts?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:06, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I did, I do, I will. I'm sorry that was confusing." *He laughed.* "I was at Hogwarts for my first through third year. I had to leave before the beginning of fourth ... due to a ... situation with my family. My fifth year will be starting soon, I was hoping to have gotten my books already, but I seem to be running a little behind. What's your story friendly girl who has yet to be named?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:21, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She blushed slightly at the reminder. "Sorry. Mine's Albion. Albion Kinnaird." Albion replied to his invisible inquiry. "I'm just transferring to Hogwarts this year from Salem. I'm actually the middle of eight, two of which you just met. The others are around, somewhere." She giggled slightly at his first statement. "Not at all. I'm used to confusing."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:30, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="In that case welcome, Albion. I think you'll like Hogwarts, at the least I can say that I hope you like it." *He wanted to be more firm in his belief that she would love Hogwarts the way he did, having come from another wizarding school he had his doubts it would compare.* "Can I ask what brought you from Salem to Hogwarts? I happen to be one of three so to me it sounds like it would be an enormous hassle for eight children to go from there to here."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:38, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She smiled. "Da wanted to allow the rest of us to grow up like he did, so moving back here it was." Albion shrugged. "We've always managed to keep most of us in school at the same time. Currently, it's the seventh-year triplets, fifth year me, and the first year troublemaker twins." She replied.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:46, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Sounds familiar. My mother wanted the same thing for my younger sisters, and I." *He nodded a slight chuckle escaping him.* "Who's missing from your equation? You said there were eight of you if I'm not mistaken. You mentioned the older triplet siblings, and the younger twin siblings? Is there another set of twins in clan Kinnaird that you left out?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:50, April 13, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She laughed. "Yeah. There's Will, Mary, Elizabeth, Charles, me, Jonathan, Joan, Alexandra, and Francis in clan Kinnaird. Actually, middle of nine." Albion looked at Zayd. "You have younger sisters?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:56, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed unable to help himself.* "You're magical, Albion. Your family grew during this conversation." *He smiled looking down at the books again remembering two things. He needed to find his, and Albion posed him a question.* "I do. I have two sisters, Nadira and Sultana. One good, and one evil. I guess you could say I have a favorite between the two of them. If you had to could you pick between your siblings?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:00, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= "It would probably be Will. He's the oldest, but probably the only one who shares naming troubles wth me." She responded with a giggle. "Sounds like the youngers almost."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:05, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's brow quirked with interest.* "What do you mean by naming troubles?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:10, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She smiled. "Will's full name is William Charles Macbeth Kinnaird. Mine's Albion Enya Coventina Kinnaird. See exactly why we don't introduce ourselves with our full names? It's a nightmare." Albion shrugged. "We're the only ones with double middle names."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:17, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I would have to say Will sounds like the loser here. I think your name is beautiful, I was already intrigued by your first name, Albion." *He says her name slowly as he has already taken a liking to it.* "You've taken it a step further by having a doubled middle name. Do you really think it to be a nightmare? I've never heard of anyone being forced to state their full name, but yours sounds quite regal to me."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:22, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She blushed, brushing back a strand of hair behind her ear with a faint smile. "You're actually the first one who thinks that it's beautiful outside of my family. Thank you." Strange feelings started to rise in her chest, as her breathing shook slightly. "Will always thinks that his name is better, but our meanings are way different. Are...Are you seeing anyone currently?" She asked, breathing faltering in her chest.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:30, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd exhaled a soft chuckle.* "You're welcome." *He abstained from mentioning that her brother having Macbeth in his instilled negative thoughts in his mind. He did have trouble moving on from that failing to understand her meaning.* "Currently? I... am... seeing you. You being in front of me is not what you meant. Is it?" *He hesitated smiling nervously as he scratched at his ear.* "I am without a significant other. If that was what you were asking."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:37, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= Having been surprised by Charles speaking rapid Welsh in her direction, she accidentally replied in Welsh."Yeah, dyna beth oeddwn yn ei ofyn. Mae'n ddrwg gennyf am y dryswch." (Yeah, that was what I was asking. Sorry for the confusion.) Albion didn't notice her own language change.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:48, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded having only been able to understand the one English word Albion uttered.* "... I'm sorry what did you say? The only thing I understood was yeah, which is enough mind you. I want to be sure you are not expecting me to say something else right now."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=03:06, April 13, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= "Sorry. I sometimes switch and can't tell when it happens, so sorry." Albion apologized. "What I was saying was that that was the question I had asked you. Maybe, sometime, would you like to come over? Like to my house?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:13, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You have no reason to apologize, I needed to make sure you were talking to me. I used to do the same with Arabic during my first year. If switching between languages is something that happens with you frequently you might have to teach me." *He smiled, scratching at his ear again.* "Are you sure you want to invite me to your house? You just met me." *He had a large smile on his face despite the fluttering of butterflies in his stomach.* "I'm not saying no by the way."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=03:59, April 13, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She laughed, liking Zayd even more now. "Yeah, I'm sure. So, what's Hogwarts like? I haven't heard much about it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:18, April 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I have nothing to compare Hogwarts to, so my answer is biased no matter what I tell you." *He paused maintaining a thoughtful silence as he shrugged.* "I thoroughly enjoy it, and I consider myself lucky to have been accepted. Going to Hogwarts is what I imagine stepping into a dream would feel like."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=03:59, April 13, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She laughed, liking Zayd even more now. "Yeah, I'm sure. So, what's Hogwarts like? I haven't heard much about it."}}

Going to Hogwarts is what I imagine stepping into a dream would feel like."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:17, April 14, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She giggled at his poetic waxing. "You're very eloquent. Hogwarts sounds amazing. I heard it was a castle, right?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:22, April 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed, he usually had a fair amount of trouble pronouncing certain words, perhaps that was in the past.* "It is amazing, to me. I would say Hogwarts is in the biggest castle in the world, then again I would not know any better. From your question I take it Salem is not one of the magical schools housed in a castle?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:24, April 14, 2016 (UTC)~|Albion= She giggled. "That's correct. It's set up like a, like a, muggle college dorm!" Albion exclaimed, finally remembering the words.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:31, April 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="What does that mean? Is a dorm like an apartment building?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:56, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She tried to think of how she would explain a muggle college dorm. "Sorta like an apartment building, except it's connected or close to a campus like Salem." Albion rocked back on her heels. "So, does like Hogwarts have separate sections?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Kind of like a mansion." *He nodded thinking he understood.* "Hogwarts does have separate sections, a lot of them. One just for girls, one just for boys, and there some for younger students, and then another for older students. At Hogwarts we have Houses where each of us are Sorted into the place that best suits us. It's... sort of hard to explain."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:24, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She gracefully inclined her head in acknowledgment. "I understand. Salem doesn't have any sections besides girls and boys, which is sort of good and sort of bad." Albion looked up at a woman's voice and shouted back. "Looks like we're heading home now. I'll send you a message when you can come over. Nice meeting you, Zayd!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:26, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess you'll be needing these back." *He handed Albion back her books.* "I'll look forward to that message, and maybe we can meet up again sometime before then."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:42, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She grinned, accepting the books back. "Yeah, I'd like that. I'll send you the invite soon. Before school starts back up." She quickly gave Zayd a quick hug before leaving, after paying for her books.}}

Zayd and Lena (2028)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:12, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt strange being back in familiar territory after having been absent for an entire year. There was something about The Apothecary that felt like home no matter how long he was away. He smiled to himself as he searched for a variety of powdered ingredients he expected to need for the upcoming school year.*}}{{Lilly Mara|time=10:33, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Lena=Carrying her new Beaters' bat, she decided to do something productive after spending at least half an hour ogling bat options. This led her into the Apothecary, with the bat in her left hand so she could get used to the feel.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:38, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's eyes quickly found what he was searching for, and his hands deftly followed picking up ingredients, and placing them in an empty kit to keep at least one hand free. He spotted the Beater girl and smiled wide in her direction, the thought of quidditch making him think of Tess, and the stories they used to write together.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=10:59, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Lena=Lena offered a smile back, excited to keep practising when she got back to Hogwarts. She'd really like to play for the Holyhead Harpies sometime in the future. That last year as Quidditch captain had been great, and the smile widened a little as she remembered the Cup victory.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:02, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You look like a real pro with that bat in your hand. How long have you been playing?" *He looked away from her momentarily checking to make sure that clanging sound he just heard did not mean he broke anything he had yet to pay for.*}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=11:05, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Lena="If you don't count pre-Hogwarts, for four years or so," she replied, "when I leave I want to try out with the Harpies so if I look like a pro, that's good."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:11, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's eyebrows rose simultaneously as he looked back toward her. She looked young, and her response made her sound older than he expected.* "I guess you're halfway there. What's the count if you do add in your pre-Hogwarts era of play? If you say eight or above I might blackout." *He warned playfully unable to keep from laughing at his own words.*}}{{Lilly Mara|time=11:17, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Lena="Well, I was on a toy broom when I could walk, so I guess I've been off the ground about fourteen, fifteen years. Real quidditch maybe about seven, seven and a half with my family."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:25, April 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stared in silence blinking repeatedly. A single word escaped him.* "Wow." *He stared at her a little harder. "I have only been flying since I was seven, and I hardly do it that often anymore. I absolutely love quidditch more than life, but I have never once taken my broom to the pitch. I have studied the game more than I think I will ever actually play the game. What is it like out there? Or should I say up there?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=13:29, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Lena="It's amazing, unless you're afraid of heights," Lena observed. "A little scarier for me, I guess, playing Beater. It's my job to get in the way of speeding projectiles. Pretty dangerous."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:11, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="If you are afraid of heights quidditch is not the sport for you." *He laughed jokingly despite meaning every word.* "You should really change your mindset. I said that like it was easy, but hear me out. You should not be looking at your place in the game as dangerous, even though it is. You have a bat. Everyone else out there is your target. Which sort of puts you at the top of the food chain. You are the apex predator of quidditch."}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=18:50, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Lena="That's true. Except when your girlfriend captains another team and is hell-bent on beating you, being a bit stupid in the process."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:53, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Then... I guess the better girlfriend wins?" *He shrugged not knowing how to feel about that.* "Did her team beat your team in the end?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=19:14, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Lena=She pulls a face, which premeditates the answer of 'yes'. "Unfortunately, but it didn't matter. We still won the cup."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:17, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Wow." *He chuckled quietly not wanting to offend her.* "That... that must have put a kink in your relationship. You didn't call her your ex though. I guess you worked things out?"}}
{{Lilly Mara|time=19:29, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Lena="It did, for like, three days. She gave in before I did," Lena decided to leave out how they had made things up, but it was still quite the happy memory. "We decided on just being happy for each other in the end on the understanding I'd probably beat her next time."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:38, April 22, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="That's good. Not that she gave in, that you were able to move past being mad. It sounds like you have a good thing with her, even though it took three days for it to get through to you." *He smiled jokingly.* "It'd be a shame to lose it over quidditch. Though I'm sure people end relationships over less."}}
=The Leaky Cauldron=
Zayd and Tess (2028)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:36, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd relaxed enjoying a nice cold butterbeer while he escaped his sisters for a few brief moments while they did some shopping elsewhere. He pulled out his grey journal finding himself inspired in a moment of quiet contemplation.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:39, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=Tess walked into the Leaky Cauldron, a small pouch of money in hand. It was just enough to get her school supplies and a little something extra.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:42, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd peered up quickly before looking back down at what he was doing, marking one line on the page he was torn away as he gazed back up again to see Tess.* "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes." *He called out in her direction, a little smile on his face.*}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:45, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She looked over at the sound of the familiar voice and her eyes widened. "Zayd? Hi!" She grinned}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:47, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled at her and stood up from his seat walking over to give her a hug.* "Hi, Tess. It's nice to see you again. Hey. I just want to say this now. I'm so sorry you got sick, and that I wasn't able to come visit you."}}{{MerisaMist|time=00:49, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She hugged him back with a smile. "It's not exactly hard for that to happen to me." She said in a light joking tone even though it was a hard truth. "You wouldn't have been able to visit anyways."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:52, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm still sorry. It doesn't reflect well on me as your friend if I can't be there for you when you need me. I'm glad to see you though. You look good. How are you feeling?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=00:57, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She laughed slightly as she pulled out of the hug. "I'm feel great. You?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm away from sisters for a bit, so better than usual I guess. Do you want to come sit with me?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:08, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She smiled. "Sure."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:10, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd lead her to his table, and pulled out Tess' chair before sitting back down in the seat he had been in before she arrived.* "I was just having a butterbeer while I waited on my sisters. Did you want something?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:11, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She shook her head. "Nope."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:15, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Good. Because I spent the last of my money on myself." *He laughed, feeling the tiny bit of simmering guilt melt away.* "Have you been working on any new stories?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:17, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She laughed with him. Her eyes seemed to shine when the topic of writing came up. "Of course! There this one, where it's all in the perspective of the supporting character."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:21, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Interesting take. I kind of like that idea. You would get to see the main character in a way other than that self-portrait sort of view point. That sounds cool, Tess. Is it a fantasy?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:25, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She grinned. "Nope! It's slice of life."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:28, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="What? Since when..." *He looked a bit surprised.* "Is this a new thing for you or have you written other realistic stories?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:30, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="This is the first story! Isn't it exciting?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:37, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="New things are always exciting Tess. I hope it goes well." *He smiled laughing at bit at her level of enthusiasm.* "How many characters do you think there will be?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:39, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="3 at least." she responded}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:42, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="All female, or male, or a fairly even mix? With three characters it can't be exact."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:43, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Evenly mixed."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:48, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="About as even as three people can be you mean. Are there two males or two females?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:52, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Two males."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:53, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Brothers? Maybe?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:54, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Friends that are pretty much brothers."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:55, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Are they also competitors?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She shrugged. "I haven't quite decided yet."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:06, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I'm sorry if I'm asking too many question. It's just that I had the same idea. The part about two brothers that weren't really brothers."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:58, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She tilted her head in curiosity. "Really?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:19, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Of course. I have two sisters. Having a brother is something I think about all the time. Writing stories about a brother that was never actually my blood brother was only something I started trying to do after I met you."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=15:04, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She grinned. She wasn't quite sure of what to say to that.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:13, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Was it just me or did I make it sound like I did a lot with the idea? Because I have not. I have literally written nothing."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:22, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= An amused smile found its way on her face. "Well...have you drawn it?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:25, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess you could say that I have." *He nodded yes, sort of shaking his head no at the same time.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:29, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She tilted her head in curiosity. "So you sort of drawn pictures of it?" Her eyes widened. "Please tell me you haven't stopped drawing!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:32, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded a little more confidently.* "I could never stop drawing not even if all my fingers were broken."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:34, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She took a sigh of relief. It would be just plain horrible if he had stopped. "So you would then draw with your toes?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:48, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I was thinking I would put a pen or pencil in my mouth, but your way works too. It has been done, so it wouldn't be impossible, only slightly difficult."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=01:51, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She grinned. "Difficult for some people. Easy for others."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:58, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="There has to be a trick to it. It's a complex if not unusual way to strengthen toe dexterity." *He smiled chuckling quietly.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:00, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= Her eyes shone in silent laughter. "Toe dexterity is very important in today's society. You might need to pick something up with them after all."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:02, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You never know. In the future we might all be walking on our hands, and doing everything else with our feet or toes."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:03, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="And circus' everywhere!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:06, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="When people start juggling with their feet, yes. Although that might be unrealistic." *He grinned shaking his head at the sheer nonsense they were speaking of.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:09, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= "Yeah....pretty unrealistic. You do kind of need thumbs..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:11, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I almost want to find a way to prove you wrong, but I have a hard enough time juggling with my hands.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:14, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She grinned. "Who doesn't?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:17, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Professional jugglers?"}}
{{MerisaMist|time=04:00, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She rolled her eyes. "Well yeah...but I mean normal people."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:18, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Tess." *He stopped to laugh.* "People who juggle professionally are normal."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=13:26, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She raised an eyebrow jokingly. "Well yeah...but they're career....the thing that they want to do probably....is juggling."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:19, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Are you saying wanting to juggle on a grander scale makes them less than normal? Everyone has to play to their strengths."}}
."}}{{MerisaMist|time=01:10, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She scratched the back of her head. "Well, it's not that. It just seems a little bit silly to me."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:26, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I completely agree with you. Still, isn't it better if people do what they love? I don't think anyone who juggles professionally does it for any other reason."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=02:29, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Touché."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:22, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd grinned opening his mouth to say something else before he quickly shut it.* "It was great to see you again, Tess. I'd love to sit here and talk with you a little more, except, my sisters are headed this way. Maybe when school starts up again you can help me with my story in my office. You know? That old Professor's Office we used to draw in."}}
=Die Blumenterrasse=
Zayd and Albion (2028)
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:51, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= The girl's high heels sounded on the paved floor as she entered. A graceful hand rose to flick blonde hair tied back into a ponytail off of her shoulder before her eyes fell on the daisies. Albion ventured over to the flowers, fingers delicately falling over the petals.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:55, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stood from a kneeling position, a flower pot held between both hands, looking around curiously for the clicking sound. He was not familiar with heel clicks his sisters were still a little too young, and his mother was more of a tomboy than she would ever admit.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=03:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= All Zayd would see would be her back and familiar blonde hair as she was bending over a patch of herbs, poking around to see which ones her mum wanted her to get for the garden. Albion ignored the fact that she was dressed more for a slightly formal occasion and not flower-shopping, but, hey. What Scots do is what Scots do, right? Besides, if you could dance in high heels, then you could wear them for everything?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:10, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd saw the head full of pretty golden hair, but he did not immediately think it to be his new lady friend Albion. He did stare until he thought it rude, and dropped back down to a kneeling position with the potted flower he had been holding trying to find a few more slightly similar ones that looked enough like it in different colors.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=15:11, April 17, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She had caught some movement and turned slightly to see Zayd, kneeling by several potted flowers. Albion moved over to him, delicate fingers tapping his shoulder before she kneeled beside him. "What brings you around here?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:18, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt a shock, literally. He felt electricity flow through him the second Albion's fingers touched his shoulder. He looked in her direction his eyes wide, and his face flat before the expression changed as recognition set in.* "Albion. I was hoping I would get to see you again." *He smiled setting the flower pot down.* "My mother sent me here to pick up some flowers, she never did say what kind she wanted. Do you think you could give me a hand?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=00:24, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= "Of course. And Abi works just as well, Zayd." Albion spoke, a gentle smile forming. "Did she describe the ones she wanted at all? Or is it up to you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:31, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd frowned a tiny bit.* "My apologies, Abi." *He smiled a similar gentle smile turning to look at the flowers in front of him.* "No, no she did not. I know that she loves a white Narcissus, and I have seen she her sigh at the sight of a deep purple Iris. If they have it I was hoping to find some Hyacinths."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=00:40, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She nodded, catching the frown. "What's up?" Albion asked, letting her fingers gently touch Zayd's chin to encourage him to meet her eyes.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:49, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled harder unable to stop himself as he looked Albion in the eyes.* "N...nothing. You have beautiful eyes. Has anyone ever told you that before?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=00:55, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= Her smile grew a little and she blushed at the compliment. "Thank you." Albion removed her hand from Zayd's chin, folding them back into her lap. "Can I ask you something?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:59, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Sure." *He shrugged his shoulders, his eyes still locked on hers.* "You just did, but you can ask me another if you want."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:04, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She smiled. "Have you ever dated?" Albion asked, unsure if he learned his flirting skills from another girl, or if he was still taken.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="No." *He made a strange face slightly worried admitting it would make her look at him differently.* "I am not well versed in the ways of romance. Is it that obvious?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:16, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She shook her head slowly. "It is not."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:21, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd waited to see if she were joking with him. When she did not laugh, he did.* "Good."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:32, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= Unsure of how he would take this, she leaned over and gently pressed a kiss to his cheek. "Two things, why are you laughing? And, if you don't mind me asking, then why have no girl dated you yet when you're so incredible?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:36, April 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled foolishly.* "I thought you were joking about my lack of skill with the opposite gender being painfully obvious. Your guess as to why I have never had a girlfriend is as good as mine. Perhaps no one else has looked at me the way you do."}}

"Nice doodles."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:22, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd grins down at the pages he has been working on expecting Abi's words to have been meant as sarcasm.* "Give me a little more time, and they can be better than nice. They can be great."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=01:36, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She traced one of his drawings, eyes looking down at the notebook. Her shoulders shook in nervousness, as she muttered to herself under her breath.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:23, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd followed Abi's finger as she traced the lines of the figure he had drawn. His gaze moved upward settling on those beautiful eyes of hers.* "What's the matter?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=02:29, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= She looked up, and taking a shuddering breath, leaned over and pressed her lips to his in a slight gentle kiss. "I'm sorry." Albion made to flee the compartment, standing.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:13, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stared at her wide-eyed. She had given him his first kiss, although she had stolen it, he found himself hoping that it wouldn't be the last.* "Abi!" *He reached out to her his beloved grey journal falling from his lap.* "You were bold enough to kiss me, and now you're going to run away?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|time=16:26, April 19, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= Zayd's hand grasped her wrist and she turned, eyes slowly meeting his. "I... I don't know what I was thinking."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:45, April 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I am fairly certain you did, and it's okay." *He smiled hoping to put her at ease. He let go of her wrist, and took hold of her hand.* "I'm not upset, and I hope you aren't embarrassed."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=05:28, April 20, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= Albion's eyes softened, feeling more at ease. "I'm not. At least, I hope not. I hope this doesn't change anything between us?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:02, April 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="It does. It changes things a little bit. If you are embarrassed about it, we can pretend it never happened. That kiss doesn't have to mean anything, if you don't want it to."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|time=06:59, April 21, 2016 (UTC)|Albion= "I'm not embarrassed to say that I sort of do like you." Albion spoke. "Like maybe go out sometime or something?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:06, April 21, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Sort of like me?" *He wiggled his eyebrows playfully.* "I think we should definitely go out sometime. Maybe then you'll be more certain about whether you mean to kiss me or not."}}

When he saw that he was alone he did the first thing he always does when he came here. He set up a table with all the art supplies he would need within arms reach.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Bored out of her mind, she came in here because she was just extremely curious. She saw a tuft of black hair and called, softly, "Zayd?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:34, April 30, 2016 (UTC)~|Zayd="Abi?" *He looked up from he was doing in the direction of the voice that called to him. He smiled lopsidedly when he saw her.* "What are you doing here?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Shrugging tiredly, she walked over and sat down, leaning into Zayd. "Exploring. And looking for you."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:39, April 30, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You were looking for me?" *He nudged Abi lightly as she leaned into him.* "Did you need my help with something?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled softly, nudging Zayd back softly. "Can I not just spend time with my friend without needing something? Actually, I was." Abi corrected.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:43, May 1, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="The best thing about you getting into Ravenclaw is that we can spend as much time together as we want." *He stared at her briefly then turned his attention back to his artwork.*}}

Zayd and Abi (2028)
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= The Scottish-American was napping in a corner, not wanting to deal with the chatty Bulgaria girls in her dorm currently. Now, she was forced to find random spots to sleep, seeing that it was impossible to sleep in the dorms now. Curled up under one of her many celtic-patterned blankets, she was deeply asleep ignoring everything and everyone.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:26, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's eyes were fixed on the pen strokes he was making in his journal as he took slow staggered steps through the hall. He kept book low in front of him, he no longer found it amusing when he walked into a wall, he glanced down away from the pages to ensure his path was clear when he allowed himself a small break from where wanted his full concentration. Spotting the patterned blankets he stopped, knelled beside them and poked at the lump under them with the dull edge of his pen.*}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Stirring slightly, she growled at the person disturbing her sleep and lifted the edge of the blanket glaring at them with one eye half-open. The cold air swept in and she shivered quickly, diving back into the warmth. Her muffled voice came from under the fabric. "What do you want?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:33, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled seeing one of her familiar beautiful eyes glaring back at him. He slipped backwards into a seated position.* "I'm sorry, Abi. I didn't mean to bother you." *He tried to stifle his laughter.* "May I ask why you are sleeping here and not in your own bed? I do not believe this particular spot in the castle was meant to cater to a state of rest."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She snuggled into Zayd, sniffing for warmth. Once she was settled, curled in his lap, she murmured quietly, "Those foreign students are too chatty. Can't sleep, so I find spots where I can."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd moved his arms accordingly until Abi was comfortable before letting fall where they may.* "I heard something about more than a few of them being obnoxious. I'm sorry they're disturbing you. Have you though about sleeping potions? They might help you make it through the chatter."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She yawned, "All I need is six hours of sleep then I'm good. Nothing else to it. I can run on six hours of sleep for a day or two or three before I crash, depending on what's going on that day." Abi muttered, snuggling deeper into Zayd. You see, she gets tired, she becomes a teddy bear.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:14, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Three days?!" *He lowered his gaze to look at her.* "If you said one of two I would have believed you and left it at that. At three you could not possibly have anything left off of just six hours." *He paused smiling as she shifted.* "I guess when you do finally get to sleep, you sleep very well." *His voice tapers off, and he turns his attention back to his drawing.*}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She resumed sleeping, a hand trailing up to stroke Zayd's chin unknowingly. Albion stirred slightly, adjusting her position so she was almost completely leaning against Zayd, humming quietly in how right this felt. "Zayd?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:28, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was properly distracted by her touch, so much so, he was unable to keep put lines exactly where he wanted them. He lowered his head to softly nibble the finger on his chin. Shifting his gaze from the page he was on to Abi, he turned his head to look at her.* "Abi?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird||Albion= She giggled softly, sitting up and leaning her head back to rest on his shoulder, breath hitting his throat gently with every word. "I was wondering maybe, if you'd like to go out or something sometime?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:58, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded his head yes, smiling at the thought. This was something they had talked about a few weeks back, he was happy to see they might actually follow through with it.* "Yes, yes I would. Is there any place in particular you would want to go?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shrugged. "I really don't know. How about that Tea Shop or The Three Broomsticks?" Albion nuzzled his throat after her questions, enjoying this.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:09, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled, a light touch of color hitting his cheeks.* "If we actually wanted to have a conservation I think we could achieve that at Madam Puddifoot's. Perhaps we could go this weekend?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, leaning up to kiss him on his cheek, a hand coming up to rest on his other cheek softly. "That sounds good."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:20, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tried to gain some control over himself. He knew if it were possible for him to glow he would be blinding bright.* "We can meet in the common room, and walk there together."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She hummed softly in agreement, finally returning back to her previous resting posture, leaning against Zayd with her head resting on his shoulder. "Where you looking for me earlier or did I come as a surprise?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:28, May 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd paused to find the right words.* "We can agree on the fact that I happily stumbled upon you. Now that I know why I would be seeing less of you thanks to these visitors we have to entertain it is safe to say I will be looking around for you more often."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= "Hey Zayd? Have you seen that older girl talking in French with the foreign students in the common room? Do you think she knows them?" Albion asked about the Rebekah girl she saw more often than not talking with the foreign students so casually.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:49, May 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's brow furrowed, and he shook his head no trying to think of which girl exactly she was talking about.* "I would suppose she does. She could also just be a friendly type of person." *He paused.* "I'm sorry. Which girl are we talking about? What does she look like?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= "The one that has that adorable cat always with her? And some sort of wedding ring I think as well? She's in the year above us if my sources are correct." Albion said, raising an eyebrow.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, May 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You have sources?" *He paused the left side of his mouth turning upwards as he laughed.* "To say that I spend a great deal of time looking at other girls, their pets, and their fingers would be an enormous lie. The simple fact that this girl speaks French would lead me to believe that she probably used to go to Beauxbaton's herself."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Spotting her older brother's blonde hair, Albion sent a dark glare towards him. Charles laughed and made a heart with his hands, teasing Albion in Welsh loudly. "Most likely. I really want to talk to her, but it's so hard to get her alone except at night." Albion admitted, nustling back into Zayd. "Just my older brother, ignore him."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:29, May 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd followed her gaze trying to figure out who or what she was glaring at.* "That might actually work in your favor. Talking to her at night. Maybe it's just the way I imagine it, but having a quiet conversation with someone you want to talk to might go over better later on in the day." *He did not exactly ignore Abi's brother, he did his best to memorize what he looked like.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Ignoring Charles' teasing, the young woman wasn't moving from Zayd's lap anytime soon. "He's always like that. Seventh year and thinks that he knows everything. It's funny when Will or Da gives him a talk-down. At least Mary and Elizabeth aren't around... They're the ones we need to watch for."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:02, May 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded along to her words comfortably familiar with the way she spoke about her older brother.* "I forgot there are a whole lot of you, well not you. There's only one Albion." *He paused to smile at her.* "I'm sorry if you mentioned it before. But. How many of your siblings are here at Hogwarts with us? Not the ones that need to be watched out for I hope."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She started to list them off. "Will's graduated, Mary, Charles, and Elizabeth are seventh years, I'm a fifth year, Jonathan and Joan are first-years next term and Francis and Alexandra are first-years two terms from now, so in two years, there'll be five of us here." Albion grinned. "What about you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:13, May 12, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd had an urge to write that all down, somewhere inside a voice told him that would be a creepy thing to do. He did his best commit it to memory instead.* "We are a much smaller group, there are only three of us. For two years that I was here it was just me until my sister Nadira came along. She is starting her third year now, and my youngest sister Sultana is just starting her first year."}}

=Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour=
Zayd and Dakota (2029)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:16, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was out on big brother duty, his little sisters were shopping to their hearts content while he busied himself with sketches in his journal. The tournament had surprisingly inspired him, his latest pieces were quite medieval. He was thrilled by the amount of art he created in the last school year alone. Hoping to could keep up that momentum, he worked at it by drawing a little every day since leaving. He was working on something new for the old quidditch story inspired by the Puddlemere games when he stumbled to an empty table before clumsily dropping himself into it.*}}
{{Kota|time=21:26, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=When a customer stands there for ten minutes trying to figure out what they want, the employees start to get a bit frustrated, so the blonde was aware. Yet, it took her nearly that entire amount of time to finally give up and play eeny meeny miny moe to decide instead. After a quick round of the game, she decided on a singular scoop of canary cream, but she was sure she would end up paying for another one later. Once the ice cream was in her hands, she made her way through the shop to get a nice table for herself.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:31, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked up ever so briefly because of her movement. He could place her face immediately, boys always can with the pretty ones. Gazing back down at his journal again he flipped a few pages quickly, and he sat up altering the position in which he was sitting in order to draw more comfortably. He laughed to himself as he hand flew over the page.*}}
{{Kota|time=21:41, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota's eyes flickered from table to table, in hopes of coming across the right table (at some point she gave up on finding an empty one, since the place seemed unfortunately a bit busier than usual). Eventually, she came back around to the same spot she started, letting out a small sigh, before she approached a boy, who notably seemed a bit familiar (perhaps they were in the same year or house, she wasn't sure), "Hey, it's a bit packed in here and there isn't a table that's free," she said, a smile gracing her lips, "I was wondering if I could possibly sit here, then? I won't bug you, I promise."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:53, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd gazed upward, as his eye set on hers he nodded.* "Of course, no problem. Please sit down." *He did not have much with him aside from his journal, and a small, portable drawing set, still he confined himself to one side of the table making space for this lovely, and vaguely familiar stranger.* You do not have to worry about bugging me. This is nothing important," *He gestured to his journal sliding it into his lap.* "just some sketches I was having fun with."}}
{{Kota|time=22:01, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota smiled still, with a bit more of genuine happiness to it this time, for she was grateful she didn't have to go find another spot. "Thank you," she said, before placing her paper bowl of ice cream down and slipping into the chair across from him, refraining from asking where she knew him from since she was sure she would have the ability to figure it out if she thought about it enough, "Oh, you're an artist, then?" she asked, obviously interested, "I love art, especially the older stuff, but I can't actually do anything like that myself, unfortunately."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:11, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed, a smile warming his features.* "An artist maybe one day, I do like to draw quite a lot, and I have gotten into the habit of writing as well. As for the older stuff, I wish I could say I agree with you. I started sketching things I saw in books. Mostly picture books because I was too young to know how to read. Medieval paintings are fairly captivating though I have to say."}}
{{Kota|time=22:41, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota nodded, letting out a small laugh at some point, "Aren't they? I find enjoyment in trying to figure out the deeper meaning behind some of them, or the hints of symbolism that riddles some of them. I'm that way with literature as well," she said, before feeling she was ranting too much and quickly going quiet, keeping herself from blushing out of slight embarrassment.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:49, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I like that. You sound like you would make a wonderful living as a critic. I am not sure I believe every image or phrase for that matter, has hidden symbolism behind it. But, I do think quite a lot of work was inspired by someone else's interpretation of art." *He smiled with his eyes trying not to be rude, and hold back his urge to interrupt her with his remarks. He was surprised she was chatting with him as much as she did. He thought surely since she mentioned that she would not bother him that she would not want to talk.* "I'm Zayd. You're name is?" *He smiled reach over the table to shake her hand.*}}
{{Kota|time=23:05, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="Dakota," she said, extending her hand to shake his, after dropping the plastic spoon she had previously been holding, shaking his hand briefly, before pulling her own away, "It's an absolute pleasure to meet you," she smiled, "And I never said everything does, I just said some," she corrected, "I'm sure not everything does."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:15, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd shook his head apologetic for what he assumed was a misunderstanding.* "Oh, no. I am so sorry, Dakota. I hope you did not think I was trying to mansplain something to you, or puts words in your mouth. I didn't mean to say you were implying everything does have symbolism. I was implicitly speaking for myself."}}
{{Kota|time=23:26, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota shook her head, "No, I understood what you were getting at. I wasn't offended or anything," she said, before actually focusing on the ice cream in front of her, to actually eat it instead of just picking at it like she had been before, "I just wanted to help you recognize how I stood a bit better, I suppose," she glanced up at him, smiling slightly.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:36, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Oh, well then." *He smiled, relaxing a bit knowing he had not accidently offended her with something he never intended to say.* "Thank you for making that clear to me. You seem familiar, but I am sure that we have not met before. What did you say your last name was again?"}}
{{Kota|time=23:40, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="Sanders," she said, before grinning just in the slightest, "Actually, I felt you seemed a bit familiar, but I don't talk to very many people, so I'm sure we haven't ever actually spoken before. Hm, do you happen to also be in Ravenclaw, or am I going crazy?" she asked, letting out a small, partially nervous laugh.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:54, June 29, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I know. I am the same, I have my favorite places at Hogwarts, I do not often stray from the path which lends itself well to only know a few people, and speaking to even less of them. It is a shame too. For such a large school it is absurd that a person can end up with only one friend." *He shook his head as if he disapproved, and smiled nonetheless.* "I am in Ravenclaw, for the sixth year."}}
{{Kota|time=00:04, June 30, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="Oh, so we're actually in the same house and year...and we haven't talked yet," she was a bit disappointed in herself, because she too only had one friend and she hadn't even met them until this past year, "Yeah, it is quite a shame. I didn't even really have any friends until last year, and even then I only made one, but I'm not necessarily complaining, for I'm comfortable with it..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:20, June 30, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was fairly surprised to learn they shared the same house, they year he expected, she seemed so much more mature than him. Based on her cordiality of the first impression she gave him, he would have guessed Hufflepuff.* "What a coincidence. I had one good friend. I would go so far as to call her my best friend up until last year, I suppose. Like you said, as of last year I only made one friend. I If I sound like I'm complaining, because I think I am, what I mean to say is I value quality over quantity as well."}}
{{Kota|time=01:34, June 30, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota nodded, not really being sure where she wanted to go with the conversation, because she wasn't completely sure that he even wanted to continue it (but that was just her figuring that nobody really liked talking to her at all, so maybe he did). Instead, she fell silent and went back to eating her ice cream, eyes flickering around the shop occasionally.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:04, July 1, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd sat back in his seat quietly immersing himself in his artwork once again, he had forgotten she was here for the correct purpose, she was a patron of this establishment. The more he chatted with her, the more her ice cream melted. He continued to doodle, and chuckled to himself at the strange ice cream themed image springing forth.*}}
{{Kota|time=03:30, July 1, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Now, she was actually eating the ice cream, but she found it was more of a thicker, sweeter milk at this point. That didn't keep Dakota from eating it though, doing so as she watched the other people in the shop, trying not to stare at them for too long and seem weird, besides she had to take breaks to look down at the ice cream anyways.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:18, July 1, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd noticed the shift of Dakota's head movements as she people watched. His few glances upwards at her became glances at the other patrons, and soon enough he was staring at a woman with funny hat. He caught himself, and quickly returned his attention to the pages of his journal.* "Did you notice the woman with the pink sun hat?" *He asked not glancing up from the page as he continued his masterpiece.* "It has a butterfly on it."}}
{{Kota|time=19:36, July 1, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota didn't have to look up from the ice cream to know who he was talking about, "Yeah, it's a bit...flamboyant, for lack of another word," she said, holding back a chuckle, because it would be quite rude, her eyes glancing back to the woman one more time before looking at him instead.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:43, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was forced to suppress a laugh at the apprehensive use of words. He would have chosen gaudy, however there was something pleasant about it that caught his eye.* "You don't like it?" *He met Dakota's gaze as a playful smirk touched his lips.* "I thought the butterfly made up for the medicinal color. Either way I found it a bit inspiring." *He flipped his journal to show Dakota what he was calling the 'ice cream lady'.*}}
{{Kota|time=00:56, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="I think it was okay. I personally wouldn't wear it," she said, with a small shrug, before looking at the journal he had flipped over, "Oh, that's really cute, in a totally bad*** way though. As if that makes any sense...Well, I like it," she commented, giving him a bright smile, before looking away.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:04, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd pulled the journal back sweeping it into his lap a little impressed with himself now as he looked back on it. He was just drawing something funny.* "Thank you. What you meant was not entirely clear, but I got the gist of it being positive in connotation right away. Even without the explanation." *He smiled back before diving right into a fresh blank page.*}}
{{Kota|time=01:19, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota nodded, glad that he got it, because apparently she was too confusing for people to understand sometimes (which was all too unfortunate, but she wasn't bothered by it too much). Since she didn't know how to carry on a conversation like a normal human being, she went silent again and slowly reached the bottom of the bowl.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:24, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="How was it? The ice cream, I mean?" *He looked up for a brief moment to be sure he did not ask his question as she was putting ice cream to her mouth.* "I loiter here quite a lot, only once have I actually had ice cream. Now that I mention it I should have kept that to myself. I would hate for them to put up a picture of me behind the counter as some sort of bad customer."}}
{{Kota|time=01:46, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota let out a small laugh, "It's good, but I'm not really a picky eater," she said, before her eyebrows raised somewhat, "Wow, and they haven't kicked you out yet? Normally, establishments don't allow loitering, they kick people out if they don't buy any of the services..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:55, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed a bit of it being a nervous reaction.* "From what I know the owner Mr. Chubbs does not have a security guard. Thus far he has not enforced that sort of 'buy your time' business model, thankfully. I only ask because I am sort of an amateur chocolatier, and highly critical of everything sweet."}}
{{Kota|time=03:50, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota laughed, "Alright," she said, "Well, if you want to get critical, the canary cream flavor doesn't change you into a bird like the treat does, not that I'm complaining. I feel the sweetness could use a small boost, and I'm not even a super sweets type person, but I think overall it's still good. I believe that's a bit more in depth than just 'good'."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:04, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd blinked rapidly wearing a smile as he stared at her in disbelief.* "Thank you. That... was... concise. A great deal better than 'good'. I appreciate your honesty." *He chuckled to himself.* "Forgive me for prying, but what made pick the Canary Cream flavor? Are you partial to custard cream? Or did you think it would have some of the same ... after effects of the treat?"}}
{{Kota|time=22:23, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="I'm not totally sure," she said, with a small shrug, "I wouldn't have minded about it, if it had happened, but I wasn't necessary wanting it to happen either?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:08, July 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You would have made a very pretty bird. Or canary as it were." *He laughed at his own joke despite his sincerity.* "I hear the transformation only lasts a few minutes, if that, before the feathers moult."}}
{{Kota|time=15:58, July 3, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota didn't know how to react, or if it was even a compliment. Either way, she let out a small laugh, "Well, thank you. I'd hope I wasn't an ugly bird," she said, smiling just slightly, "Anyways, I did too, but I think that's cooler than nothing at all."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:39, July 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled at her response not expecting it from her.* "All joking aside I cannot see how that is a possibility." *He slowly started to realize his words could be misconstrued as him hitting on her, in panic his next words were strung together.* "All birds have a beauty to them, even the ugly ones."}}
{{Kota|time=00:11, July 4, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota blushed slightly, trying not to think about it too much. Especially after that last statement. "I mean, the ugly duckling didn't turn out to be so ugly, so I suppose so," she said, giving him a small smile.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:24, July 4, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Yes! Exactly. This might sound unusual, and it should not considering what I just said. But, no matter. I have a preference for imperfection, Like three legged cats, or fish with deformed fins. It is not that they are different, the fact that they survived is what does it for me."}}
{{Kota|time=19:21, July 4, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota wasn't sure she personally had a preference, for she normally didn't even think about the exterior of things and instead just the character within, so she didn't quite know how to comment. In fact, she was going to comment on this movie she watched when she was younger, but she wasn't sure she should since it was a Muggle film and apparently most witches and wizards don't watch that stuff. "I was raised to think imperfection wasn't a thing, just how perfection wasn't. If there was such a thing as either, I shouldn't focus on it or judge it in one way or another. For everything is capable in one way or another, so I guess I've always seen it as Oh, you have (blank), but that just means you're going to work harder than the rest of us to survive and that's fantastic," she said, deciding to go with just whatever spilled from her lips, before feeling like she was rambling and shutting up.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:53, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I agree with you completely. Listening to myself say this in my head it sounds awful, however I cannot think of another way to say it. It is the struggle that I find beautiful, much like you said it was fantastic. It is inspiring to know that there are those who can keep pushing, who do not let anything slow them down or stop them." *He paused to sigh deeply* "I was given a slightly different ... perspective from what I know in my heart to be true." *He hesitated not wanting to give too much detail on his upbringing, while struggling internally with how he would proceed to explain to her what he meant.* "My... father figure did not believe what you, and I believe. Although, perhaps he did. He constantly told me that he wanted nothing less than perfection, his desire for me of course is different than what we were speaking of. He wanted me to achieve things that I was not necessarily capable of, that in itself may have some connection, I suppose. He expected the skills I would gain to translate to an outer appearance that he was more accepting of. His idea of perfection based entirely on strength and power."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:42, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Another something we can agree on." *He laughed to himself.* "You are making me think all these things, that I do not like the sound of yet I have no choice but to say. Sometimes... I wish I fell into that category. That I could have the perseverance to take what life has thrown at me, and not simply deal with it but ... what's the word? Conquer it? That would make every other problem I have ever had seem inconsequential. I like the thought of that."}}
{{Kota|time=01:05, July 6, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota smiled, really liking talking to him, "I wish I could conquer my problems too...but I find that just saying that isn't going to do anything. If I want to do something, I can't just wishfully talk about, I have to act, but I'm still not doing that, hm?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:16, July 6, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I suppose that it is one of those things that is easier said than done. There is another saying that would be appropriate here. I believe it goes; sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same." *He shrugged, again more word vomit that did not sound right to him.*}}
{{Kota|time=01:39, July 6, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota nodded, "I've heard of it. I'm not sure if you've phrased it correctly nor who said it first, but I do believe The Fray had a song with it in it..?" she said, before mumbling the words (in a slight singing manner) to Look After You, before switching to All At Once, "Sorry, I'm into older rock music," she said, blushing lightly.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:43, July 7, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd bobbed his head nodding along to Dakota's singsong mumbling. He was not familiar with the lyrics at all, but he knew the melody.* "That was beautiful. You have no need to apologize. I always had to keep my interest in music secret, since I happed to be a male. It was considered a vapid waste of time, if I am remembering correctly. Yet somehow, a possible ironic twist of fate, I can play the piano. With absolutely no training. Go figure." *He chortled.*}}
{{Kota|time=03:49, July 7, 2016 (UTC)|Kota="I think that's crap...It's not like music is a female thing," she said, and so far she figured it was probably his father saying that and she didn't really like his father from the sounds of it, "Ooh, you play the piano though? I'd love to see you play sometime, if that's not totally weird, but even if it is, I still mean it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:24, July 7, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="In my heart I always thought that too." *He nodded fighting back the smile that split his face.* "My own wand knew the truth about how I felt before I did. Music is resplendent. Much like it already is, the emotion a melody can evoke, and the story a song can tell should be shared across the world. In summation. I would be happy to play for you. An audience is not something I have to look forward to often."}}
{{Kota|time=23:42, July 7, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota smiled, thankful that she hadn't made a total fool of herself by saying such, "Well, if we ever get the chance, you should then," she said, before sighing and looking down at the empty bowl in front of her, "I truly do enjoy talking to you, and I would hope we can talk again...but I have to get back to my grandparents' before I get screamed at. Anyways, there's probably a girl much lovelier than I that's waiting to get to sit here and chat with you," she laughed, just slightly as she stood up.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:16, July 8, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Should the opportunity ever present itself I will cease it. If I cannot find it, perhaps I will make it." *He shrugged flashing a playful smile. He did not know how he would go about that second part, but he liked the way something sounded coming out of his mouth for once this entire conversation.* "I am so sorry to have kept you here with you chatter. I am glad, however, that you enjoyed yourself. It was my absolute pleasure. If a lovelier girl decides to sit with me after you leave I will be sure to thank you for that." *He stood as well, only because it seemed like the polite thing to do.* "Take care."}}
{{Kota|time=00:28, July 8, 2016 (UTC)|Kota=Dakota wasn't used to being terribly polite, instead being more reckless and free of social expectations.

Zayd and Abi (2029)
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= The scottish-american was sitting outside the store, head bent over her leather journal with a pen in one hand. She seemed slightly tired, but was enjoying the quiet time away from her annoying brothers and sisters.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:26, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd came out of the establishment his head whipping left and right as he tried to ascertain the whereabouts of his little sisters. They had become incredibly sneaky over the years, and their new found ability to play off one another has left him a step behind them the last couple of months.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Spotting Zayd with a quiet glance, she stood and made her way around him, before leaning to press a slight kiss on his cheek. "Guess who?" She sing-songed.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:33, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was caught in a mix of emotions. Anger and confusion over his sisters. Now he also had to contend with this feeling of warmth, and the sensation of butterflies.* "Abi..." *He smiled as he looked her way.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, blushing slightly. "Hey. Sorry for missing the Ball and all that stuff. Will got hired over in America and we had to go over there. Anyways, what's new with you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:45, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nonchalantly brushed off the fact that the Yule Ball among other things would have been a great start for them.* "You do not have to apologize for that. It was Will who got the job in America. Not you, right?" *He grin, unable to fight himself any longer he pulled Abi into a quick hug.* "Nothing new. My sisters are still little deviants, and I cannot say much has changed about me."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, hugging him back before pulling away slightly. Her hand fell to his, gently rubbing the back of his hand. "Thanks. So, what about the possibility of us becoming a little something more..?" Albion asked, a bit hesitant about posing this question to him.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:54, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Do you mean... you and I becoming an item?" *He asked his gaze slowly rising from the image of her hand on top of his.* "That is only something I have been looking forward to exploring ... since... well, ever since you kissed me. I know it was something you were uncertain about the last time we talked. I still think this is something worth pursuing."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, remembering the hesitantance on her side of things. "I talked with Mary and Lizzie, when we were in America, about this, and I think I'm ready. They helped a lot." Albion admitted, thumb gently rubbing the back of his hand.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:11, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Oh. Really? You talked to your sisters about me?" *He grinned a bit arrogantly.* "Let them know I am grateful they were able to talk you into giving me a chance. I understand your uncertainty, Abi. It does not have to be that way. We are just feeling things out, trying to see if we can make it work."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed at him. "They're older sisters. They know when the younger ones are hiding something. Plus with Charles telling them what he saw last year one time... They figured it out." The Scottish-American admitted with a smile. "So? Want to give it a try?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:24, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded completely understanding.* "I suppose that is one of those elder abilities you only get by having younger siblings. It cannot hurt the senses to get a hint from a little outside interference either." *He stared at her quietly, flipping his hand palm side up to allow him to hold her hand in his own. "Of course I do, Abi. After everything I said I am surprised you even have to ask."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, gently tracing Zayd's hand with her fingers. "Then, it's official, I guess?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:38, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I would hold off on calling until after our first date. What if it is one of the worst in history? Would you still want to be my girlfriend?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She raised an eyebrow. "I doubt that, but do you have anything going on later today?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:46, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="If I can find my sisters before they get hurt or in trouble, anytime I have later I am willing to spend with you."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed. "I can help if you need it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:49, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd grinned as if that had been his plan from the start.* "If you don't mind."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, glancing around. "Now, where did they go?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:01, July 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Tana loves the music shop, But Dira was banned a couple weeks back. So? They might be at Honeydukes?" *He shrugged optimistically.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She raised an eyebrow. "Banned, seriously? But, it's worth a shot seeing if they're in Honeydukes."}}

Zayd and Abi (2029)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:17, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd walked hand in hand with Abi. In the moment he found himself forgetting every so often as he looked over at her simply admiring her that he was on a search for his sisters who were far too young to be on their own.* "Did you ever slip away from your older siblings when you were younger?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She looked at her boyfriend with curiousity. "I couldn't. There was too many eyes on me at any given time until I was four." She sighed. "And then the twins came along and chores."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:24, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I should have known you to have a bone in your body that did not radiate responsibility, glad to now you are everything I expected. Still, I thought everyone went through a bit of a rebellious face. Be it early in life, or late."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She grinned slightly. "I was a bit rebellious during the move here, but it's not really welcome in our family." Her grin faded. "My grandmother didn't like it and wanted us to be perfectly behaved. The four younger ones were the ones who drove her insane in the end." She raised a hand to wipe a tear, flicking it away.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:33, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd moved his hand to wipe the tear from Abi's face as well. He was a half second late in getting there, and instead he cupped her face gently giving her a soft peck on the lips before pulling away slowly." "I am sorry about your grandmother, Abi. I am sure she is looking down on you now, and she is proud of you."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She nodded, gently returning the kiss. "Thank you. Now, let's find your sisters."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:50, July 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd scoffed ashamed of himself for so easily forgetting his whole purpose for dragging Abi here.* "Keep a look out for little brown girls with big curly hair."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Spotting two girls with the appearance her boyfriend had described, she lightly poked him. "Are they the ones?" Albion asked, directing his attention to the girls.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:52, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked first at Abi, then off in the direction of his sisters. He was pleased that Abi had found them, he could send them on their way now.* "Those are the Little Pixies I needed to find." *He stalked the isle they were in pupping up surprisingly and causing them both to shriek with laughter. He scolded them for breaking open bags and boxes of candy without paying, then sent them up to the register with a bad full of coins to pay for it.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Walking up next to Zayd, she watched the two girls with a faint smile on her face. Leaning into her boyfriend slightly, Albion was enjoying Zayd's company, raising a slight eyebrow at his two sisters. "Troublemakers?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:17, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded crossing his arms over his chest watching sternly to make sure the girls went to counter and not straight out the door.* "You would not have guess it looking at them, the longer you keep your on them the more obvious it becomes. They are not angels, they are little devils in disguise."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed. "That's the same with the four younger Kinnairds. Especially the two youngest." Albion paused. "And that's something we have in common."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:32, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Why is that? What makes youngest siblings think they need to act out?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed again slightly. "We both have trouble-making younger siblings."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:46, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="At least we can thank them for showing us right from wrong."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed again. "True."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:01, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Have your younger siblings ever gotten you roped into any of their shenanigans?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Raising an eyebrow, she shook her head. "They haven't roped in either myself or Will yet, but the triplets are a different story. What about you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:11, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="No, and they never ask." *He shook his head no.* "They share the blame with me no problem, though. It would be different if we were three sisters, I know that for sure."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She blushed slightly. "If you three were sisters, then we would've never met and hit it off." Albion stated.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:24, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Are you saying you would not be my girlfriend if I were female?" *He scoffed, and continued without hesitation.* "I would be gay for you if you were born male."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shook her head. "I never said that, Zayd."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:42, July 13, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Did you think it?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shook her head again. "No. I never said that I wouldn't." Albion sighed, realizing this was where she needed to apologize.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:26, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You would switch teams for me?" *He grinned having a little fun with the conversation.* "I just wanted to hear how much you cared."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Smiling again, the Scottish-American leaned into her boyfriend, pressing a kiss to his cheek quickly. "You're a loveable idiot. And MY lovable idiot."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:57, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="The possessiveness of being your idiot. I mean your loveable idiot somehow makes the insult so much less insulting."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She grinned. "Would it be better if I used noiva instead?" The foreign word rolled right off her tongue as she leaned into Zayd's arm.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:08, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Perhaps." *He spoke slowly wrapping his arms around her.* "I have never heard it before. What does noiva mean?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She chuckled, enjoying his warm arms wrapping around her. "Sweetheart in my father's language."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:40, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Oh, and I was thinking it was just another, nicer, way of calling me an idiot." *He laughed, squeezing her tight.* "I like it. Now that I know what it means."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled, twisting herself in his arms to kiss him quickly before she tapped him on his nose, laughing the entire time.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:39, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Are there any other pet names in your father's language I can look forward to learning?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= A soft smirk crossed her face as she leaned forward, smiling. "You'll have to wait. I don't think I'm going to tell you all of them yet."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:46, July 14, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Alright. I can try to be patient, and wait you out." *He paused smiling back at her.* "How about just one more?"}}

Zayd and Abi (2029)
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= The blonde-haired scotswoman was sitting on a bench, nose buried in a book and papers strewn about her. Her hair was pulled back with a quill as a capped pen rested next to her in the spine of a open book. The compartment door was half-open as she worked busily.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:58, July 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd walked past a great number of compartments trying to peer into them without looking like some sort of creep. When he finally peeked into the one he had been looking for all along he slipped inside.* "Just the woman I've been looking for."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She looked up, eyes already dark with exhaustion, before flashing Zayd a faint smile and returning to her books and papers. "Hey." The word was split by a yawn.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:06, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="There is a whole train ride that takes place before school actually starts. You know you could use that time to do this thing a lot of people rely on. They call it sleeping."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She looked up to meet her boyfriend's gaze. "I haven't been able to sleep recently." She explained, looking back down to the textbooks and resuming her work.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:11, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Why not?" *He shuffled some of her papers, and nooks being careful trying to keep them in whatever order she had them in.* "Are you having bad dreams or is it something else entirely?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She moved her stuff over to clear a spot for Zayd. "It's a combination of several things I don't want to talk about. Can I snuggle with you?" Albion asked, eyes half-closed out of exhaustion.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:23, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt a bit insulted, nonetheless he would never dream of denying her request, and dropped down onto the bench beside her arm wide waiting to wrap them around her.* "Certainly. You don't even have to ask. Can you promise that you'll think about telling me what's bothering you?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She curled in Zayd, head resting on his chest before she traced slight designs on his hand. "It's mostly due to the fact that I didn't get selected for prefect and the younger ones."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:38, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You should not let yourself be bothered by that. You have no control over who is going to apply and who is going to get picked. When it comes to something like that, all you can do is hope for the best." He squeezed her light as he spoke.* "What the problem with the younger ones?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She bent, removing her original textbooks, all shredded and colored over. "That's what they did."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:49, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed then quickly silenced himself when he remembered that Abi had not found it that amusing.* "We can get your more books. As a matter of fact that can probably be fixed one we get there."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She nodded. "True." Yawning again, Albion was curled into his lap, not wanting to sleep, but feeling that she needed to.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:05, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded as well lightly running his fingers though her hair. When she started to yawn again he could she was fighting it. Nonetheless he pretended his throat was a piano, and softly hummed a slow tune to lull her to sleep.*}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She drifted off, figure going limp out of exhaustion.}}

Zayd and Tess (2029)
{{MerisaMist|time=02:43, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She slipped into an empty compartment. Hopefully, she can write in peace for a little bit...}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:45, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd slipped out of Abi's compartment after she had fallen asleep in his arms. He was only planning to check on his sisters, now that he had the freedom to do so, hoping to make it back before Abi woke up and he was not there.

Long time no see."}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:50, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=Her head snapped up from her notebook, her eyes wide. She glanced over at the door and just froze. "Zayd?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:54, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled at her as he stepped through the compartment door. He slid his hands into his pockets, and gestured with his head to her notebook.* "Am I interrupting?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=02:57, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She shook her head. "No. Where have you been? How's life?" She put her notebook away and stared at him}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:00, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I know we haven't spent as much time together as we use to, but I've been at school during the school year, and back at home during the summer.

I hope you can say the same."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:05, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She bit her lip before seeing the badge. "Oh my gosh, your Prefect now?!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:08, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd laughed as if he expected her not to notice.* "I know. Crazy, right? You still didn't answer my question though. How've you been?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:12, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She smiled. "Your a badge-wearing offical now. Congrats!" She shrugged. "I'm still alive."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:15, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Thanks, Tess." *He laughed again, a bit awkwardly this time as he broke eye contact to look down, and scuff his shoe along the floor of the compartment.* "What do you mean still alive? That implies you survived some sort of near death experience."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:20, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She looked at him. "It's...complicated. I guess." She looked at the ground.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:27, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I wouldn't judge you. No matter what it was. I hope you know that. And I hope you know that you don't have to tell me what's going on if you don't want to. But, I'd only want to help if I could."}}{{MerisaMist|time=03:30, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="It's fine. Really." She smiled as if to emphasis the point. "So, what's changed? Well, except for the obvious?" She gestured towards his badge}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:08, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Not much, honestly. My mother got remarried a couple months ago. He's a nice guy, I guess, which makes living in his house with my sisters a lot less weirder than it could have been. So, that's changed."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=15:54, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded. "That's great!"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:10, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Is it though? I hardly even know this man."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=22:32, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Does he love your mum?" She asked seriously.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:34, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I would sure hope he does. He did marry her."}}{{MerisaMist|time=22:36, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Then make an effort to get to know him."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:38, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="And if he turns out to be someone I don't want to know?"}}{{MerisaMist|time=22:40, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess="Well, you only have to live with him for one more summer at least." She glanced at him. "Though I doubt he'll turn out that way."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:43, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I don't matter. It's my sisters, and my mother I'd worry about. Hopefully you're right, and I'm just focusing on all the wrong things."}}
{{MerisaMist|time=22:49, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She frowned. "Do you really think your mum married somebody that would hurt her family?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:51, July 20, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Not on purpose. People do stupid things when they think they're in love. She's not above that. No one is."}}

"Since Will was put in the hospital."}}{{MerisaMist|time=06:09, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Tess= She nodded. "I've heard of people getting nightmares when they are stressed.

She was feeling like complete and utter crap at this point.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:25, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="A groan like that is most definitely a bad thing." *He slipped away from Abi, gently leaving her on the seat alone.* "I'm...going to get you some water." *It was a lie, but he was not lying he was headed to the teacher's carriage for help and bringing back some water as well. No harm, no foul.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She curled tighter, shivering, and closed her eyes, waiting for Zayd to return.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:33, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tried to zip back into the compartment as quickly as he left. He opened the compartment door carrying a bottle full of cold water.* "Abi?" *He tried to push any lingering nervousness out of his voice as he knelt down on the floor beside the seat she was on.* "I got your water."}}
{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= Finishing his rounds in the Ravenclaw carriage, Finlay stuck his head into a compartment with a girl on the bench and a boy kneeling beside her. "Everything alright in here, Mister Shafiq and Miss Kinnaird?" Finlay asked.}}

{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= He entered, crouching fluidly besides Albion and Zayd, placing a large hand on her forehead. Finlay's eyes crinkled in concern before he gently removed the bottle from Albion, even though she was drinking from it. "No more, Miss Kinnaird. You'll make yourself sick at this rate." Finlay handed the bottle to Zayd before turning back to Albion. He muttered, withdrawing his wand and running it over her, muttering simple diagnostic spells under his breath. The results came back and he frowned. "Looks like flu and exhaustion. What has she been doing?" Finlay sighed, standing slowly. "I can get a fever-reducer from Coraline, but the rest is up to her. Actually, hang on a sec." He left, returning with a small bottle of his own fever-reducer when his asthma acts up. "Get her to take this. It should help with the cough, if she has one, and the fever as well. If you need anything else, just come to the teacher's carriage. And no more water for her. She could get sick."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She pouted at the professor for removing her water. "Water?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:56, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tucked the water away, as Abi was diagnosed right before his eyes. He figured he and Tess were bound to catch the flu now as well.

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She pushed the potion away, wanting water and that's all. "Water." Her voice was a low croak. "Where's the water?"}}{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= He sighed gently. "Miss Kinnaird, I've removed the water so you do not throw up. There is a potion here that you need to take and I am not above forcing it down your throat if you do not take this."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:06, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was happy to not have to be the one to force feed his girlfriend a potion, nonetheless he did not want to see someone else do it either.* "Abi, please." *Already kneeling, he was basically begging.* "Just take this so you can start feeling better."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Looking at her boyfriend with an unwilling gaze, Albion took the potion from Zayd and slowly started to drink it, gagging at the taste. "That's horrible. Can I have water now?"}}{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= He sighed at the sixth-year female Ravenclaw. "Stop asking. I'm going to send you both to see the Healer when the train arrives at school to make sure that there's nothing going around." Finlay turned to Zayd. "If she keeps the potion down for five to ten minutes, you can give her some water, but nothing too extreme. Alright, I'm out." Finlay rose and left quickly, heading towards the teacher's carriage.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:22, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd had to put aside how dismissive this new professor seemed. He had other priorities at the moment, such as checking his watch to see that his girlfriend didn't end up dehydrated.* "You can ask me that question again in five minutes."}}
{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= Remembering his father's instructions on taking care of people, Finlay paused and moved to sit across from Albion. "Actually, I should stay in here in case I'm needed again."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She narrowed her eyes at the hidden bottle of water, trying to get to it subtely. "Zayd, water?" Albion gave him the certified kitten eyes.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:30, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="It's barely been a minute." *He wanted to laugh, but playing keep away with one of the essentials of life was hardly a laughing matter, so he gave Abi a half-smile.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She pouted. "Please?"}}{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= He watched Albion's attempts to get the water, a faint smile forming.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:39, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd shifted his gaze from Clewyn to Abi, and Abi to Cledwyn.* "Abi. He's right there." *There wasn't much space where words wouldn't travel he was sure everything he said was audible.* "Just another few more minutes, if nothing comes up... then you can more water. Sorry."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She pouted yet again. "Please, Professor? I feel fine."}}{{Finlay Cledwyn|Finlay= He shook his head. "Two more minutes, Miss Kinnaird. And I'm not cutting it short for any reason."}}{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:02, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*All Zayd could do was grin and shrug apologetically.*}}
{{MerisaMist|time=16:39, July 24, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She bit her lip as she watched the exchange. Crap. I'm gonna spend my first week at Hogwarts in the Hospital Wing! She sighed. She then smiled slightly at the girl's attempts at getting water.}}

She shoots down field and oh-- she's nearly unseated by a Bludger from Willow, but she manages to just squeak by and that's ten points for Hufflepuff as Wolf puts it past Mitchell-Anderson. Beckham takes the Quaffle up for Ravenclaw and he shoots down the field, and-- yikes! That was a well-placed Bludger from Wells-Marshall, and Beckham drops the Quaffle, and it Fielder picks it back up for the Badgers and that's another shoot... and another score! Ten more points for Hufflepuff! Connor takes the Quaffle this time and-- wow! There is no stopping this guy. That's a fast pass to Chase, and Chase puts it away for ten points to Ravenclaw!

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= "Because I've never been taken care of like this. I've always had to deal with being sick on my own." She explained. "Remember when I said I was the middle of seven? That also comes with little to no attention when the middle kid's sick. It's either the older ones being their demanding selves, or the younger ones begging for attention.

You won't let me." *He paused trying to dial down the agitated tone.* "Your reason for why, I'm sorry, but it's not a good enough reason to put off your own needs. Especially now. Abi.

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She staggered downstairs, looking like complete s**t. She ungracefully fell into a couch close by, head falling on the rest as the lights glittered against a faint sheen of sweat across her forehead. Her ungraceful flop had made a fair amount of noise.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:40, August 6, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd dropped the golden ball into his pocket, and pretended to read at the sound of noise.

He closed his book moving to her side.*}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She blinked, spotting her boyfriend approaching and giving him a faint smile. "Hey."

She looked different from usual, having been forced through her sisters' creative hands because they were bored.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:42, August 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was currently being dragged, what looked like against his will, behind his two younger sisters. Every so often the trio would stop to chatter then they would all laugh and shortly after they would keep moving. Zayd tugged at their hands, in response to them tugging at his. He was tryin, and hoping he could distract them from their goal which was to walk into one of those clothing shops and turn him into a human coat rack, shelf table or whatever else was necessary. Unappreciative of his inclusion in the little plan he even tired to bribe them to let him be, to absolutely no avail.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Her pretty cheeks reddened at the catcalling before she looked at the other boys, spotting out her boyfriend and turning to move towards the young men, focused her eyes on Zayd.

{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:02, August 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was taken aback by the boldness of Abi, he usually was and this moment was no different. He dropped the hands of his sisters who stood beside him watching. They giggled with each other pretending to gag when they saw their brother be kissed.

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed. "You can thank my sisters for this."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:12, August 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I will." *He grinned as his hands were again tugged on by that point. As recollection washed over him he lean down to his sisters level and hand them each a small bag of coins. Before pointing to the open door to a shop he whispered to them in Arabic then gave the eldest a stern look before he sent them on their way. Giving his attention back to Abi he put both arms around her, and embraced her.* "If only to tell them how even without their help you always look beautiful."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled slightly. "Why thank you." She rested her head on his shoulder, loving his warmth. "Where did you sent them?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:19, August 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Heaven for them, quietly literally #$%% for me. They want to dress up, and they don't like any of the clothes they already have."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed at his language. "That's little girls for you, Zayd. No need to curse."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=09:18, August 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Excuse my language." *He chuckled pulling away, still keeping Abi close.* "I was fine when it was just toys, now it's clothes they're obsessed with. It seems like a slippery slope."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed. "Mary and Lizzie were like that at one point. They'll grow out of it." Albion looked at her boyfriend, eyes shining healthily. "But, you remember how I was all sick earlier and all that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:53, August 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I hope you're right about it being a phase, and this isn't just the beginning of something awful." *He sighed deeply.* "Of course I remember, Abi. How could I forget? You're looking much better, since your out and about. Do you feel alright?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled. "100%. All I needed was some TLC from Ma and the triplets."}}

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shook her head. "Nope."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:27, August 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I will take that as; the former Zayd, thank you for asking."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She laughed, repeating his words back to him. "Zayd, thank you for asking."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:37, August 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="When did this gorgeous human sized parrot get here?" *He chuckled.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She pressed a kiss to his lips, laughing as well at his joke. "Very nice, Zayd." Albion smiled. "So, can you hang out some?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:44, August 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked off to the door of the shop he sent his sisters to then back at Abi.* "I can spare some time. Is there anything in particular you wanted to do?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= "I wanted to stop in Weasley's to pick up some stuff for the youngers. They deserve more pranking stuff after they successfully managed to scare away Great-Aunt Jessie and she scares everyone." Albion mentioned. "And she was the one who tried to get me to wear all pink and lacy dresses every time I see her."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:53, August 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled just a little.* "What is so wrong about wearing pink or lacy dresses? Unless they happen to be see through. In which case," *He paused his smile turning to a grin.* "that would be inappropriate. Even so, I cannot find any reason to reward your younger siblings with more ammo, for lack of a better word, to disrespect their elders. No matter how unpleasant said elders may be."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She raised an eyebrow. "She's a nasty person to be around, truth be told. Always putting Ma down because of her American background, so the youngers and olders join forces to prank her so she leaves earlier."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:06, August 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's brow furrowed as he mulled that over, it sounded eerily familiar.* "I have trouble agreeing that her behavior makes treating her poorly okay.

Close-impact.... might be a broken shoulder... anyway, Ramirez drops the Quaffle, and it falls into Chase's waiting hands. He heads down the field and... that's another ten points to Ravenclaw! The Quaffle is falling-- anyone could get it!

"But you can show that you're determined to win the next game by not letting this loss get to you."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:27, September 4, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I need you act like you know that, and not touch it. It's insanely tender. I don't even like moving it, and I swear I can feel the little tiny pieces of bones floating around in there." *He pouted turning away from her to continue setting up the cauldron stand.* "It's not my fault Ravenclaw lost? I'm a Seeker. The snitch is released for us to catch. If I can't do that what's the point in me even being out there. I might has well have been sitting in those stands."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She crossed her arms. "You haven't even visited the infirmary to fix your broken wrist?"

{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:41, September 10, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Professor Jeon. Chevalier is the CoMC professor. You are a beautiful creature Albion Kinnaird but you are human. You might want to see the Healer."}}

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She sighed. "Maybe I'll ask both."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:23, September 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Maybe you should. Think of it like a second opinion."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She nodded. "I think I will." A thought crossed her mind and she sighed. "And I just remember something."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:34, September 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="What's that?" *He finished his crayon gluing and moved on to the cauldron stand which had fallen again. This time he opted not to use it.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She sighed. "Two of the trouble-making foursome will be starting next term... And they can sniff out you and I faster than bloodhounds."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:43, September 11, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Do they have more olfactory receptors than the average human?" *He gives her a look.* "I've been at Hogwarts going on seven years. I know things about this castle they can only hope to learn."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She sighed. "What I meant is that they know where I spend my time through the older ones."}}

We've got an exciting game for you today as Gryffindor takes on Ravenclaw. It's a perfect spring day for the final round to take place, just a perfect mixture of a breeze and comforting warmth. And with that it looks like the game has begun! Summers gets the Quaffle for Gryffindor and heads towards the Ravenclaw hoop, while Schmidt sends a Bludger his way. Sakellarios however intersects the Bludger's path and sends it towards an incoming Ravenclaw chaser. Ouch! The Bludger made direct contact with Beckham as Summers continues towards the hoops, and Summers scores for Gryffindor! Connor gets the Quaffle for Ravenclaw and begins heading towards the Gryffindor hoop, managing to avoid two Bludgers sent his way by both Sakellarios and Brown, only to get hit by a second sent by Brown. Lucky enough for the Ravenclaw team however the Quaffle falls into the ready hands of Chase, who shoots... and scores for Ravenclaw!"

Chase is now in possession, McDermot and Summers almost double teaming him in order to gain possession back, and it looks like McDermot has snagged the Quaffle from right under Chase. She moves swiftly to the hoop of Ravenclaw, and that's another goal for Gryffindor! Connor has possession yet again as Sakellarios and Brown send Bludgers his way. However both Bludgers are redirected by Schmidt and Willow hitting both McDermot and Summers who were on Connor's tail, giving him a clear path -- scoring once more for Ravenclaw!"

That was the first time team Gryffindor's beaters let her (and not her broom) get hit in game. It hurt, a lot. She didn't want to feel that sort of pain again. She tried to be more precise with her movements, and more aware of what was going on around her as she pushed her broom back towards Ravenclaw's Keeper.*}}{{MaliaS|time=01:26, September 15, 2016 (UTC)|Malia= She feels bad for allowing Nuala to get hit, but she can't dwell on that.

He was playing really well this game. He flew tight to Nuala's side, never letting up. Yeah, he was being a jerk. But he wasn't going to cut her any slack.

Lena yelled after Peter, slamming both bludgers at him as a way to vent, but also for purpose to knock out Nuala's backup.}}{{MaliaS|time=17:00, September 15, 2016 (UTC)|Malia= Malia wanted to punch Peter out of the game herself, because why did he just have to go and punch her best f*cking friend? And he fouled. But no matter how much she wanted him out, it wasn't her call to make, nor could she let him get hit by the bludgers, so she still went ahead and tried to deflect the bluders, sending them off course, towards Jenelle, hopefully.}}
{{GM|name=Brocky292|time=03:02, September 16, 2016 (UTC)|text="And it seems as though Summers has just made physical contact with Connor, stopping all progress McDermot made with the Quaffle. Both shoving and punching him which results in two fouls for Gryffindor and two penalty shots for Ravenclaw. Summers is also being kicked out of the game it seems as Connor gets ready to take his first penalty shot. He shoots and he scores! Scoring on the second one as well! What a set back that was for Gryffindor... It looks like there's a gleaming thing near the Gryffindor stands as well, could it be the golden snitch? I think might be!"

Play the guilt-trip card. Filled with fierceness. She moves in the way again, wanting to take the bludgers herself if she has to.

{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She sighed, slightly shrinking into herself at the stern look and sighed, taking his hand carefully and pulling herself up while securing the blanket around her shoulders with the other hand. "Alright." Albion agreed, looking at her boyfriend with dark eyes and coughing into her hand holding the blanket. "Where?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:58, September 17, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Anywhere but here. Preferably." *He let go of the hand holding her once she was on her feet, to put his arm around her and keep her close to him.* "I promise we don't have to go inside if you don't want to, but at the least, will you let me get you to some place that has a few walls?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She nodded in agreement, seeking out warmth from Zayd.

It makes no sense to me, Abi."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:32, October 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd waited until he and Melinda wrapped up instructions, and answered any lingering questions before he joined Abi. It was strange to have her here, he liked it as a start to their last year together.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She rested her head on his shoulder as he sat down next to her, lacing her fingers with his. "It's a bit strange, being seventh years already."

{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:48, October 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's energy was completely different. He was clearly more relaxed with the Head Boy news being something he was aware of.* "Time does fly, but it isn't like it went by in the blink of eye. There was all that time that you were sick, my quidditch injuries. There are quite a few other things to remember."}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She nodded. "I remember that..."

"She apparently tore her knee open."}}

More like a distantly related cousin, if even." *His facial expression changed as he listened, he was clearly disgusted by the mental image a torn open knee gave him.* "Why are you telling me this?"

OOC: You really need to get her siblings straight. It keeps jumping from more to less and back again. :P}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Albion sighed. "Seraphina's one of those people not to go easy on herself so..." She sighed. "I can't remember what I wanted to say..."

{{Hecate Grimm|time=22:48, October 19, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled.* "You better be careful about that forgetfulness. There's this boy in Slytherin who will walk right over you. He did it to me last year, made me feel like fool."

{{MerisaMist|time=02:05, October 24, 2016 (UTC)|Tess=She nodded. "Well, the thing is, there are multiple ways to look at the same thing. That's why there are so many different books that have the same basic plotline. Girl or boy gets introduced to some mystical world that they've never known before by their hot future love interest.

{{Bond_em7|time=12:16, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Anyway, I realized beyond your name...I really don't know you that well. Since we'll be working and...living near one another this year, we probably should." She'd nod to the paper. "Do you draw?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=14:53, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="We have only been classmates for the last seven years. I'm actually surprised you even remember my name." *He bobbled his head yes in response to her question as he continued sketching.* "Often."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=15:05, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd smile in agreement. "Me too actually...I love drawing, sketching, painting...all of it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:14, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I've seen you draw before. I didn't know you painted too." *He looked up at her with a raised brow.*}}
{{Bond_em7|time=15:48, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd slowly nod. "I've done a mural, but never body art...I honestly hadn't even really thought about it. Are you talking tattoos or...?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:08, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="What about graffiti art murals?" *He furrows a brow misunderstanding her question.* "Can they really be called tattoos if the 'ink' is actually body paint?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:17, October 26, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd frown slightly. "I...was thinking of actual permanent tattoos...but I haven't heard of body paint before. I've seen some graffiti art murals though, and they're pretty cool, but never gotten to try doing one."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:31, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I never considered making the body paint permanent. I have done henna tattoos, but it was intended to be semi-permanent." *He paused thoughtfully.* "Would you ever want to try a graffiti mural?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=15:37, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd give a half smile. "Why would I say no?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:42, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd was tempted to warn her by the turn of phrase she used.* "I was hoping you would say yes."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=15:43, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Alright, then yes. I enjoy trying new things, so I would be excited to be able to try it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:49, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I feel the same when it comes to mediums of art. If, or when you have some spare time let me know."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=15:51, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Ok. So, I would like to know a bit more about the body paint. I've never used it. Is it like normal paint just used to do art on people or...is there something different about it?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=15:58, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Body paint is just like make-up except in paint form. It is non-toxic, usually it is also non-allergenic. It was made to be temporary, although it might stain skin when it gets applied. Give it soap, water and it comes right off."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:00, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod appreciatively. "So...for like costumes and such I assume? I mean...if it washes right off it's not really useful for anything long term."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:03, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded.* "Children's birthday parties are a good example too. Face painting, and such. It is not made to stay on you forever. it actually starts to peel and flake after a while."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:03, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. She'd have to keep that in mind. "So...enjoying be Head Boy so far?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:06, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Aside from the swanky, private co-ed dorm? It feels the same as being Prefect. I suppose that has something to with it being early in the year. As me again a week before we graduate." *He joked.* "What about you? Does it feel any different from being Prefect so far?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:08, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd shrug. "Not...really? ...but I wasn't a prefect last year, just my 5th year. Also, this dorm IS pretty nice." She'd smile at him. "Hopefully it's not awkward for you sharing it with a girl?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:12, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I have two sisters. If you were triplets, and there were four of us, not to mention that I would be outnumbered. Then it would be awkward. It is... awkward for you?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:16, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd shake her head. "I've got two older brothers, so I'm used to it. I just thought I'd ask." She'd shrug. "So...is there anything we need to...work out or get planning for the year or anything?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:24, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Someone somewhere always says it's the thought that counts. At least you asked instead of assuming I was comfortable." *He shrugged in return.* "There are a few projects I would like to get up and running in the next couple months it that is even possible."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:26, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod looking interested. "Like what?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:29, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="One of the bigger things I want to accomplish is to see if I can get approval for student internships, mostly to be completed over summer break. Originally I was just thinking at the at Ministry, but lately St. Mungo's, and even shops in Hogsmeade seem like viable options."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:31, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod a bit impressed. "It's...a really good idea. I worked this last summer in a shop in Diagon Alley, but having a more easily obtained internship that maybe appealed to what I wanted to do might have been a big help. So...how do we go about getting something like that set up?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:39, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded feeling the slightest bit disappointed in himself. For all the work he wanted to do in this last year, he did not know what he was going to do with himself when he left the castle for good.* "Permission, for one. The Headmistress would have to approve. I think a good start would be securing all the Head of Houses approval. That way there is a strong show of support for it. Secondly, any business in Hogsmeade or career option such as Mungo's or the Ministry would have to approve as well. That last bit is probably the real hard part."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:41, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "We'd have to...go talk to each one...and Department Heads or...something in the Ministry too... That would require a lot of foot work and meetings and everything and we'd need the Headmistress' permission to travel from Hogwarts to go do that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:48, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="A lot of footwork if you can't fly... or apparate." *He joked to ease his own tension.* "I personally do not think that each Department head is necessary. I honestly do not believe, even with hoping, that everyone is going to approve. I also cannot say with confidence that every department in the Ministry should be an option for an internship. If the Headmistress accepts the proposal with the flaws the project has thus far, getting permission to travel should be a cinch."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:51, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "So...is this something that you're...working on yourself or...something you wanted help with or...?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=16:56, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded his head yes.* "I will gladly accept your help if you are offering. I am not sure if I could pull this off by myself. It is part of the reason I reached out to all the Prefects in the carriage. Thusly you are the only one to bite."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=16:57, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd smile. "Well...this years already crammed full but...I'd be glad to help you if I can. I don't know how much the prefects can help though given that they can't really go anywhere or...anything."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:12, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded.* "The prefects can go almost anywhere inside the castle, which means they can speak to Heads of House. They can even go to Hogsmeade, which means they can speak to business owners, or at least shop employees at the least. That's at least two different locations that could be covered by anyone one of them, or groups of 2-4."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:13, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod...they'd at least be useful in Hogsmeade. "Well...to get things moving why don't we talk to the Head of Houses and Headmistress...then go from there."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:17, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Is that something you wanted to do together? It makes sense in my mind, but to save time trying to both get two of them seems to me like it would accomplish more in a shorter span of time."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:20, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "I know Carter, Denote and Prince pretty well and think they'd both be fine with it. With Willard...it's a bit awkward so you might want to talk to him. ...or we can just do it together if you'd prefer."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:24, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="... That's great that you feel like you know them, Déonté, Carter, and Prince, so well. At least that you think they might approve I can use a motivation. I can speak with Professor Willard on my own. If it might be awkward for you?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:28, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod and was going to leave it at that...but she was reminded that clearly her communication skills needed work, so she'd decide to elaborate. "Denote's my Head of House and we've got a...decent relationship built up. Carter's actually giving me extra lessons and is something of a mentor. Ash...er...Prince is married to my oldest sister and I've lived with them over the summer, so there's that. ...and with Willard he's...newly engaged to my other sister, but I don't know him at all so I don't know if he'd be more willing because of that or...less willing just to try to keep things...Professional."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:34, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="...Wow. Thank you for sharing?" *He tugged on his ear scratching at it nervously. He had not expected that amount of personal information from her, not so soon. To his knowledge everything she shared with him was all helpful, albeit the way she went about it made him feel like he was being intrusive.* "I'm sorry if my line of questions made you feel like you were obligated to tell me any of that. I had not meant to push you for information. I was only trying to make sure you were not going to be doing something that you might not have been comfortable doing."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:38, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd shake her head. "No...I've had problems in the past with...communicating why I do things and it's caused problems so...I'm trying to open up more and explain my actions so people understand why I do things. I'm not actually uncomfortable talking to any of them I just...have no idea if it would be helpful or not with Willard. Either way I can talk to Carter and Prince easily enough and let you know and...I'll make it a point to visit Denote and see what she has to say. I'll let you know once I've talked to them."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:43, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="That's good." *He nodded the corners of his mouth curling upwards into a soft smile.* "I'm glad you're working on it. Not for me. I'm glad for you. And for the people you interact with. I cannot say it is absolutely necessary to be so ... communicative with everyone. Most definitely I can agree that with some people, those closes to you in fact, helping them to understand your reasoning is a smart move." *He sighed for reasons outside of his control.* "I suppose if you are taking Gryffindor and Hufflepuff that leaves me with Ravenclaw and Slytherin. As I said, I do not mind."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:44, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Or...I can do Slytherin too and you can talk to the Headmistress."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:58, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd shook his head.* "You already said the year was packed full, and with the extra lessons with Carter that you mentioned I would rather not give you more to do. As a matter of fact I would rather take more from you. It would be a shame if something I wanted to say that I got done before the year was through was something that ended up being overwhelming to you because you tried to help me. I will speak with the Headmistress, and Willard, as well as Déonté. You already have lessons with Carter, not that this project would be on your mind at the time. And you have a personal relationship with Prince, I feel we should stick with that."

OOC: Just remembered you are Professor Prince. If Zayd speaking with him is better because of self RP's feel free to say so.}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:03, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Alright then...I guess just let me know what else I can do, or if you want to talk to the Headmistress together."
----
OOC:Yeah, I thought of that, but since she's just going to come back and tell Zayd what was said, I don't need to actually write out that RP, just figure out how Ash would respond.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:09, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I feel like I should talk to her myself, because it was my idea, not that I want to take all the credit for it. Because I do appreciate your help, and if you want to be there I would be grateful for the emotional support." *He chuckled.* "I do not intended to speak with her until after we have gotten approval from the Heads. If anyone of them say no, I might not be willing to go through with it."
----
OOC: It only just crossed my mind when I thought of her asking. Glad you beat me to it.}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:11, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Well then, let's start with that and then talk to her together. I'll let you do the talking, but be there for support."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:16, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I appreciate that. And if she makes me feel like an imbecile, I do hope that you will save me from further embarrassment by saying something."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:17, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd chuckle. "I doubt that would happen. You're much more well spoken than I am at any rate."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:19, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="At least you get your point across. I feel like I say more than I need to at times."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:21, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda="...and there's times where I clearly don't say enough, or the way I do it is too pointed." She'd smile. "Well...it seems we'll be working well together then this year."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:24, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Personally I see nothing wrong with being straightforward. The truth hurts, but it cannot be as bad a lies. *He shrugged.* "I guess those aspects of ourselves do make for a good balance."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:28, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "So...if you don't mind me asking...can you tell me a bit more about yourself? I know you're in Ravenclaw and have sisters and...that's about it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:34, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I can do that," *He nodded only to pause.* "But, you have to do the same. All I know about you is what I have personally witnessed knowing you as a year mate."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:35, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. "Sure. So...why don't you ask me something, then I'll ask you and we'll just...trade questions."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:42, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I was going to start, I wanted to make sure we were doing this fairly." *He paused.* "... How old were you when you realized you like art so much?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:45, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda="Ummm..." She'd try to think back. "Since...I was really little. I remember getting up early on Christmas morning when I was...seven? Eight? Anyway, getting up early before everyone else and just...looking at the lit up tree and trying to capture all it's...pretty colors and everything on paper." She'd pause, thinking of her question. "So, what's your family look like? I mean...siblings, parents, pets...?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:54, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled peaceably listening to her recount the memory, he wished his first experience was something similar.* "The look of my immediate family has been through a change as recently as last year. As I said before I have two sisters; Nadira, and Sultana. Both younger, there's my mother, and I have had two step-fathers, since my mother remarried Oliver would be the most current one. We have a couple of pets, Hamza; a Sloughi which is our dog. Then we have Ananda; our owl." *He paused.* "What do you think is the most different about who you are since you were a first year?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:57, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd had to think hard to answer that. "I guess...overall I'm a lot less...carefree and trusting and tend to be more...reserved." She'd frown slightly. "I guess...I naturally assume everyone will...leave me or...move on and...I wasn't like that when I was a first year." ...and honestly, sometimes I wish I could go back to being like that. "Ummm...what are your plans for after you graduate?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:05, October 28, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smile faded, and his frown nearly matched hers. He wanted to reassure her. To tell that her assumptions were just paranoia, he couldn't be sure that was true.* "Career wise. I... have... no... idea. My mother was a confectioner, and we used to make candy together. I thought food was my passion for a long time. Lately messing around with sweets does not feel like it is what I want to do with the rest of my life." *His brow furrowed, and he sighed.* "Has there ever been something you wanted to do that people said that you were not allowed to?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=12:47, October 31, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd actually laugh out loud at that question. "That's...pretty much the story of my life. I think more of my time than not at Hogwarts since first year has been doing things someone told me I couldn't or shouldn't do."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:06, October 31, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="You know I didn't mean things you literally shouldn't be doing. Like any that is considered rule breaking, or something that would earn you detention?" *He grinned just slightly.* "I meant something you are capable of. Like playing quidditch or something else completely reasonable."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=12:32, November 1, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda="Oh..." She'd frown a little. "Well I guess...sometimes they're the same thing? Like...there are rules there to protect you but...also rules there sometimes to tell you...not to do something you're capable of?" She'd shrug. "Like...they say don't go into the Forbidden Forest...because that's dangerous. They implement a curfew...because they want you in bed or because you need sleep to do well in class." She'd smile. "The second seems to be what you're asking about? I'm...capable of staying up later and setting my own bedtime?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:53, November 2, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded, one shoulder rising as he gave weak shrug.* "You're right. But, rules that are there to protect you isn't necessarily what I meant either. At least the one's not associated with school I'm occasionally willing to... bend to my will, so to speak." *He paused hoping he hadn't given her the wrong impression with his turn of phrase.* "The Forest is different. There are all sorts of creatures in there we only learn about, almost never come into contact with even in class. That does not mean some of us are not capable of defending ourselves, or avoiding an dangerous interaction all together. I guess. What I meant... was. Have you ever felt that your family put pressure on you to be something that you're not?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=12:28, November 2, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd...swallow hard, then slowly nod. "Yeah...mostly from...my oldest sister wanting me to be like her...and she was completely shocked when I was sorted into Slytherin instead of Hufflepuff like she was. I think...I think in some ways we're still trying to get past that."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=17:57, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I want so badly to tell you that confuses me, when in reality I feel like I understand more than I should. As the eldest in my family I have no expectations like that for my sisters, all I want is for them to be good people. I suppose that could be projecting, in some ways. They can only be who they are. Nothing more, nothing less."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:59, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod, agreeing. "So..." She'd consider, her question, then decide on an easy one. "Which class is your favorite?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:22, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I guess I would have to say Charms, which is quite possibly the most predictable thing I could say, or Defense Against the Dark Arts."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:29, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd look interested. "Why would you say that's predictable? I mean...with the core classes and electives...everyone has different favorites."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:33, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="I meant predictable for me, not for anyone else." *He shook his head.* "I grew up around food, sweets more specifically. Charms have a strong connection to my childhood."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:34, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod. That did make sense. "So...why Ravenclaw instead of Hufflepuff then?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:38, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd grimaced as if the question caused him physical pain.* "I am hesitant to say Hufflepuff was never an option. The Hat gave me a choice. Ravenclaw," *He shrugged wanting to end there.* "Or Slytherin."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:41, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd raise one eyebrow as if to ask, What's wrong with that?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:47, November 3, 2016 (UTC)~|Zayd="Needless to say I was a Hatstall, and I chose Ravenclaw."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:49, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She wasn't sure if she should be insulted by his...problem with Slytherin. "I was also a close toss-up between Slytherin and Ravenclaw."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:20, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="And I suppose, like I did, you decided for yourself. Except, obviously, you came to the decision that Slytherin would be better for you than Ravenclaw. Did you have a sibling in Ravenclaw as well?"}}
{{Bond_em7|time=19:30, November 3, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd shake her head. "Actually...the hat basically said You'd be good in Ravenclaw, but I'm putting you in SLYTHERIN. I didn't really have time to think, much less...choose. ...and one of my older sisters was in Slytherin actually. The only House none of my family has been in was Ravenclaw." She'd pause. "If I'd had the time...I might have chosen Ravenclaw just to...be different from the rest of my family, and away from them since my older brothers were in Gryffindor and Hufflepuff at the time. Thinking back on it now though, I think Ravenclaw would have been wrong for me...and I'm glad I'm in Slytherin."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:08, November 4, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="No, I should not even try to assume what a younger Melinda would have done. Still, I do not one second think you would have chosen Ravenclaw. Even given the time to consider it." *He shrugged.* "The old Hat might seem like it might be losing touch, but I think if we look at our true selves, it gets us right every single time. I have never admitted this to anyone, not that anyone has ever asked me. Not before you, and this conversation of course. Honestly, I was afraid of being put in Slytherin. The house has a dark reputation, everyone knows that. That was not something I wanted to be a part of, with my family history, I doubt you would be talking to me right now."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=17:17, November 4, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd frown slightly. "Considering that I'm IN Slytherin...I don't really think it would be an issue..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:21, November 5, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="So you say as you speak to the version of me that is in Ravenclaw. I am not trying to insult you. Although it seems that I have, and for that I apologize."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=13:37, November 7, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd shake her head. "It's my fault. It's just been a really long day, and I'm a bit crabby. I know you weren't trying to insult me."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:15, November 8, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="In that case I apologize for that too. If you're tired you should probably get some rest. Things don't get any better when you try to function, and you're running on fumes."}}
{{Bond_em7|time=13:16, November 8, 2016 (UTC)|Melinda=She'd nod, standing. "Well, goodnight. It was nice to get to know you better."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=13:21, November 8, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Goodnight, Melinda. It was nice to hear things directly from you rather than making them up."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:56, November 9, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Initially the thought was within the Ministry.

The burden, for lack of a better term, should be that of the student not their Head of House."}}

Such as an agreement with the businesses willing to participate, and the approval of the Headmistress to even allow such an endeavor." *He paused.* "With all due respect, Professor, I do not see the benefit of each student doing the same type of work, a variety of options are very much so a necessity to come to an informed decision. We are talking about livelihood. Would it be prudent to limit that because it could be too much work?"}}

With her and Arthur both going after her she'd have no where to hide. She didn't try to take turns or wait for an opening. As soon as she could get close enough she went after the younger girl just as aggressively trying to steal possession as her teammate was.*}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=10:42, December 15, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd threw it in reverse, whipping his broom around 180 degrees so that he could double back as he continued his snitch search.*}}

If she did, she figured she was small enough to just score another goal, hopefully as unnoticed as possible?"

OOC: Hopefully I used enough "attempt" language there to imply that she's attempting to grab the Quaffle, and not that she has it, since no team was designated to get the Quaffle first.|time=18:19, December 15, 2016 (UTC)}}
{{Bond_em7|time=18:22, December 15, 2016 (UTC)|Arthur=Still focused on the quaffle he'd race Black for it, trying to get it and get another score in before they caught the snitch. They'd need every goal they could get to try to beat the 'puffs.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:54, December 16, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd wore a grin glad he his change in direction seemed to come at the perfect time. He set his course, and took off pressing himself flat against his broom in an attempt to minimize the size of the target he is, and to assume the aerodynamically pleasing shape. He tried not waste the speed. It was a race to finish for sure, but he tried to save a little in the take to hopefully beat Gryffindor out in the end.*}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:54, December 16, 2016 (UTC)|Nuala=*Nuala was reaching a point of violence now, she'd been hit, and denied one too many times to say sane. She knew she couldn't pull off a feint and punch the girl from Ravenclaw. It was all too likely she'd actually connect, and hit her. Team Gryffindor couldn't afford that. She tried to keep her rage centered on the quaffle. Determined to get it, keep it, and make a freaking shot.*}}
{{Sophia McLaren-Cobb|time=17:30, December 16, 2016 (UTC)|Cecilia=Cecilia would ideally flatten herself as close as humanely possible to her broom. She was fairly certain she had a height advantage over Zayd, although now is not the time to peek and see. She'd try to race faster than Zayd, because she just needs to catch the Snitch for Gryffindor.}}

Zayd and Saffron (2031)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:05, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tried to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early in fear of showing up late. He was more nervous than he wanted to be, and he wished he asked someone to come with him for moral support.*}}
{{Saff|time=05:16, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Saff=Saffron arrived on exactly the time that they had planned on meeting at. Upon entering and approaching the table, she motioned for Zayd to stand as she extended her hand out. "Why, hello, Mister Shafiq. I wasn't expecting you to already be here, I must say," she said, smiling.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:19, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd did not require the motion at all, by the time she arrived to the table he was already one his feet.* "Hello Miss Carter. I was taught the value of another person's time at a young age. If you were waiting on me it would have been for a reason related to an injury of some sort." *He moved to pull out a chair for her.*}}
{{Saff|time=05:29, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Saff=Saffron nodded, although not fully understanding. After he pulled out her chair, she quickly sat down and softly spoke out a simple 'thank you.' "Well, it's a pleasure getting to finally meet up with you," she said, "Where should we start?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:40, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd sat down across from her folding his hands neatly in his lap.* "Thank you for meeting with me. I am incredibly nervous. Please forgive me if I contradict, or repeat myself." *He drew in a breath.* "The project I mentioned in my letter is an internship of sorts. Originally my intention was for students who completed their owls to take summer jobs in Hogsmeade as a way of seeing which career would be of interest to them. It was through conversation with others that the idea of also seeking out interest from the Ministry came about."}}
{{Saff|time=05:55, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Saff="There's technically already the opportunity for students to take jobs in Hogsmeade. It's just a matter of getting them to do it, which is highly encouraged from my side," she said, "However, what exactly are you thinking for this Ministry plan? How's it going to work?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:08, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="That is the reason I chose to speak with you, since students are free to work in the summer the Hogsmeade aspect is very basically already established. However, the project is not about securing employment it is about discovering which occupation is best for each individual. Some of my classmates, myself included, were still at all loss as to what we should do with ourselves following graduation. I for one have yet to decided what I am going to do for work. In terms of Ministry plan it was my hope that during summers, so as no to interfere with school. Students who have met a set of requirements that you agree to would be eligible to shadow employees or even work to some capacity within departments that were approved by you, the Minister, and of course the Headmistress."}}
{{Saff|time=06:20, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Saff="Have you contacted either the Minister or the Headmistress about this already?" she asked, "I do believe it's a good idea. I myself had trouble figuring out what I wanted to do for months after graduation even, so I will let you know that you will figure it out eventually, but for the others...I think this could do them some good. It's a matter of arranging a good time for it to happen during the summer and such."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:33, December 18, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="This project started out as something I wanted to benefit from myself, as time has gone by I have begun to look at it as something that could better serve the students that will leave Hogwarts long after me." *He nodded glad to know that while he was still confused about what he would do, he might figure it out at some point.* "You are the first person at the Ministry I have spoken with. As for the Headmistress. I hope to have garnered enough support from people such as yourself, and the various Head of House before presenting the idea to her. It seemed to me like it would be too easy to reject without having gotten approval from at least someone outside the school in a position of authority in addition to some of the staff at the school."}}
=The Retro=
Zayd and Abi (2031)
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She was standing outside the Retro, waiting for her boyfriend. It had been quite some time since they had been able to hang out, what with Abi studying and doing prefect rounds and all that stuff.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:22, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd caught Abi at out-front. He approached her with his brow furrowing as he shrugged curiously.* "What are you doing outside? ... Are we not going in?" *He grinned a bit, a chuckle escaping until it began to fade, and concern flashed across his face.* "Is something wrong?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shook her head. "Nothing's wrong, I was just waiting outside for you." Her voice was soft, laced with a distinct accent as she reached for his hand, smiling the entire time.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:32, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled a bit, chuckling as he was clearly relieved to hear it. He took her by the hand leading her inside to a quiet table for two near the back.* "I was obviously worried when I saw you out there, thought it might have been some awful news."}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She shook her head. "Nope, everyone's doing well in my family." She said as they walked. "What about you?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:44, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded, shrugging a bit.* "I suppose I should say they are doing well. For the lists of reasons I could or would complain about one or both of my sisters, or my stepfather." *He smirked as he bulled out her chair.* "There is no real excuse for grumbling. You said everyone was fine. Is your brother Will doing better?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= Albion sat down in her chair, giving her boyfriend a quick smile in thanks before nodding. "Yep, he's back at work now with Mom staying over there to keep an eye on him now."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:01, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Are you going over to see them at all during the summer?" *He sat down sliding a menu across the table to her while fiddling with his own as it sit in front of him.* "I think my stepfather has some exotic trip planned?"}}{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She took the menu once he had slid it across to her. "Probably not. They're coming here over the summer." Albion answered. "But I actually have a question."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:12, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Okay, good. It would be nice-" *He stared at her wided-eyed.* "Oh. Do you? ... I-I am so sorry for talking too much." *He laughed, then scratched at his ear nervously.* "What was your question?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She smiled carefully. "Don't apologize, you weren't talking too much." Abi spoke carefully. "Anyways, since we're graduating at the end of the year, I was wondering if, it's totally fine if not, if you wanted to get an apartment together?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:34, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd raised a brow looking back at her.* "... I was ... thinking ..." *He paused, and furrowed his brow.* "Where would you want to live? My old house is empty this summer, if you wanted to... It might be weird though I see that now." *He frowned.* "Ignore me. When should we should go apartment hunting?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She blinked. "Well, there's either that apartment complex in Diagon Alley or the slightly more expensive complex in London... Chomlely Lodge I think is the name of it we could choose."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:26, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd felt weird asking, but it would be even more important to them later if he opted not to ask her now.* "What would you do for money?" *He grimaced, unable to look at her, he felt an overwhelming sense of judgement from everyone in the room.*}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She reached a hand out to gently cover his, speaking quietly to get Zayd to look at her. "My dad said that he'd be willing to fund for a few months, just enough to get us going in jobs and all that stuff. I'm thinking of going into maybe teaching?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=13:02, December 23, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd looked back at her slowly, even that did not sit well with him, it was clear to see. Nonetheless he smiled.* "You never told me you were interested in teaching. Tess and I used to joke about that a long time ago." *He laughed a bit.* "What were you thinking of teaching?"}}
{{Albion Kinnaird|Albion= She tilted her head at his expression before answering. "Probably care. A lot of magical and muggle creatures live up around Scotland and America, especially around my familys' ranches."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=11:03, December 24, 2016 (UTC)|Zayd="Why not try the Ministry? They probably have a lot of the same sort of requirements as teaching at Hogwarts. I... might consider applying for a Ministry job as well. If we both did it seems more realistic that the two of us could afford a place on our own."}}

=Dervish and Banges=
Zayd and Oliviah (2031)
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:50, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd wandered the shop his eyes dancing from one curious item to the next. He had the oddest of feelings, and he wasn't sure what it was that perturbing him so. Nonetheless he tried to leave the feeling behind as he continued to browse.*}}
{{Oliviah|time=05:59, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah had stopped at Honeydukes and was now licking at a lollipop. When she passed Dervish and Banges, she thought it looked cool enough. Sure, she had been in there when she was younger, but it seemed different. The Hufflepuff wasn't sure she was allowed to take the lolly into the shop, but she didn't think about it at all as she started walking down the aisles with a curious look on her face.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:04, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd cast a glance at the girl as he walked in the opposite direction of the aisle she was headed down. He chuckled to himself as he turned away putting his focus back on the items on the shelves. He wasn't laughing at her, he had absolutely no reason to. There was something about seeing her with that lolly in her mouth that amused him. It was more likely something related to his sisters, or something related to art that made him find any humor in something so random. He hadn't drawn anything in quite a long time, and he'd be seeing a lot less of his sisters in the foreseeable future.*}}
{{Oliviah|time=06:16, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah looked over when she heard the familiar noise of somebody laughing at her, only to see some older boy turning away from her. A frown marking her expression, she nearly dropped the lollipop before she caught it. Instead of confronting him, she turned back to the shelf and picked up a Sneakoscope. While she didn't quite understand it, she thought it looked cool.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:28, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd occupied himself with a magical clock. The original feeling he found himself with when he entered the shop had vanished without a trace. The most disturbing thing was that now he was faced with a different feeling, one that easily identifiable. He didn't care for it at all, and knew that there was only one way to make it vanish as well. He placed the clock back amongst the other's on the shelf before he turned to face the girl, the distance was a bit different now, but if he spoke up, and he spoke clearly she would hear him.* "Excuse me, I want to apologize for my ill-timed chortling."}}
{{Oliviah|time=06:36, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah jumped slightly, not actually expecting anything. When she caught the Sneakoscope (which had slipped out from the under of her arm), she looked up at him with widened eyes. "Oh. Uh, y-you're f-fine," she said, smiling and running her hand through her short hair. "Yeah, d-don't w-worry about it," she added.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:45, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd returned the gesture his eyes growing wide as well, and a gasp escaping him. He sighed with relief when she was able to catch the Sneakoscope he would have undoubtedly felt the need to pay for if it broke, or incurred any sort of damage simply because he startled the person holding it.* "Too late for that. I felt you should know I wasn't laughing at you. You just reminded me of something."}}
{{Oliviah|time=06:50, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Honestly? I'm used t-to it. It d-doesn't m-matter m-much," she said, moving the lolly to be resting in her cheek (which she would possibly regret later but licking at it seemed inappropriate at the moment).}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:55, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's brows knitted together.* "Your used to people laughing at you or apologizing for having done it?" *He turned away again mostly in attempt to distract from his facial expression, as the majority of his person was facing the girl it was quite awkward from him to do so.*}}
{{Oliviah|time=07:02, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Uh, d-definitely b-being laughed at," she said, glancing up at him briefly before feeling weird. "Normally, p-people laugh and the p-purpose is to hurt you, so w-why w-would they apologize, y-you know?" she said, shrugging with a small smile tugging at her lips.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:11, January 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd sighed as he turned his face towards her again.* "Well, there are people who have trouble with self control. And then there are also people who are callous, self-centered, discredits to the human race. I know it can be hard to believe sometimes, especially if you have had the misfortune of coming face to face with the wrong sort of example of a person, but good people do exist."}}
{{Oliviah|time=03:30, January 24, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="I know that already," she said, a bit cheerfully as she skipped around him to be looking at a different area in the shop that seemed to interest her more. "S-Sometimes, it is d-difficult to r-remember though." The Hufflepuff shrugged and smiled slightly before she felt the small shop item slipping from out underneath her arm again. As she looked down at it, she was quite disturbed and quickly shifted it to be holding it firmly against her chest. "So...w-would you s-say you're a g-good person?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:43, January 27, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd whirled a bit following her, while maintaining a considerable distance.* "That is completely understandable, from my perspective. Every person is different even if they try to be similar. If that makes any sense at all to you. I think that someone who is not naturally caring, or loving cannot pretend to be." *He shrugged turning to find something interesting.* "I cannot say whether I am good or I am not. I feel like that is something for others to determine by the way that I treat them. If you were looking for a better answer than that, I would say definitively that I try to be. Would you say that you are a good person?"}}
{{Oliviah|time=21:22, January 27, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="I think that being a...a good person i-is difficult. If y-you want to judge s-someone, you should t-take into a-account a lot of things a-about them...and s-sometimes you don't k-know all that about a person." Oliviah paused, furrowing her eyebrows and obviously thinking for a moment before turning to him and smiling. "If y-you don't think that...people can j-judge their o-own character, then p-perhaps they cannot. I do not k-know if I a-am a good person or n-not, but I do t-try to be too."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:49, January 28, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I agree." *He nodded.* "To some extent. I do not feel you need to take into account a lot of things. Merely a few would suffice as far as snap judgement is concerned. Perhaps I am a more harsh critic than others." *He shrugged as he continued to browse.* "Few people can judge their own character without bias. At least I believe a greater majority of people would find it difficult to do so. Trying, in my opinion, is the very least that everyone can do." *He studied an item of interest, a Revealer, for a few silent but ever so brief moments before looking to her.* "Can I ask you this... do you think it absurd to believe anyone can be good person?"}}
{{Oliviah|time=08:04, January 28, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah's face scrunched up with an evident confusion as she searched her brain for the definition of 'absurd' which shouldn't have been that difficult. The Hufflepuff wanted to avoid the question, since she didn't quite understand it, so she just furrowed her brows and shrugged for another moment. "Well, n-nobody is entirely a good person. My mum told me that," she stated, firm in her decision. "M-Maybe, p-people have their moments of good and bad, but they're n-normally just n-neutral. Oh, a-and often good people say they're bad people and bad people say they're good people, r-right? At l-least, that s-sounds like s-something a h-human would..." she drifted off then grinned, "Have you e-ever r-read They're Made Out of Meat?" she asked.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=08:19, January 28, 2017 (UTC))|Zayd="I think what you were talking about, those modest truths, or blatant lies are self-denial. And on occasion, more rightly, manipulation. ... normally neutral? I like that." *He chuckled a smile grin starting from a tiny quirk at the corner of his lips before it spread across his face brightening the rest of his features.* "I... cannot say that I have read that book. Never even heard of it, before now." *He looked at her one furrowed brow twisted with piqued interest.* "Care to tell me what it is supposed to be about?"}}
{{Oliviah|time=18:01, January 28, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah grinned, "S-So, I do not know. It's s-supposed to be a-about how we're a-all j-just meat though, o-or I think so a-anyways...and we're a-all the s-same, r-really," she said, her nose scrunching up slightly as she considered it. "A-And it's a s-short story. It didn't take m-much to r-read it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:44, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled ever so slowly as he nodded his head.* "I honestly thought you were going a different way with that. Your explanation makes sense, and I believe I understand. If you were to have asked me why my mind travelled in an alternate direction, I would struggle to elucidate." *He chortled softly.* "Where, pray tell, did you find this short story?"}}
{{Oliviah|time=06:42, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah didn't understand what Zayd was talking about, because she didn't know what else They're Made Out of Meat would even be. So, she just continued to grin, giving a small bat of her eyes that wasn't all that intentional, "Oh, s-some older kid at Lil Bundles a w-while back," she said, "But, they g-giggled a lot a-about it and...I do not think they k-knew what it m-meant."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:40, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled quietly as a soft smile overtook his face.* "Sounds a bit like me? Minus the giggling. Forgive me for asking. Do you work at Lil Bundles?" *He was curious as the why she would be at the orphanage never once considering that she may be or had once been an orphan. As much of their conversation had been about human kindness his first thought was altruism. He assumed she was a former volunteer, or even an employee at one time or another.*}}
{{Oliviah|time=19:25, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah still didn't fully understand, but she was okay with that. "Oh, no...a-although I've c-considered t-trying to get time to v-volunteer there, but no. Uh, I was an o-orphan there for t-twelve years, before my m-mother a-adopted me back," she said, shrugging.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:30, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd's eyes went wide simply from the amount of years alone, when he heard she had been 'adopted back' by her mother his brow twisted with confusion.* "I apologize for prying, I am so curious, and unfortunately I have to ask. Did you remember your mother when you reunited with her?" *He couldn't look away from her now despite how much he felt he needed to.*}}
{{Oliviah|time=20:48, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Um, no...she o-originally put me up for a-adoption when I was a b-baby, and I don't r-remember any of that," she said, her eyebrows furrowing as she tried to think of how she wanted to go about talking about it. For a moment, she remained silent before she nodded and continued. "And I s-still don't b-believe her s-sometimes, but we do l-look q-quite a-alike." She paused again, "I don't e-even see her m-most of the t-time, a-anyways though."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:57, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd nodded as he listened, captivated. He disliked being so intrusive. However the sheltered life he led made him a little naïve at times. Nonetheless he could sense her hesitancy. He was already sorry he asked the fact that he was making her uncomfortable, and she was soldiering through it was admirable at the least.* "I am sorry I asked. In my spare time I do a lot of writing. Your story, to me, sounded like something that should be shared. If not then most definitely written down. Again, I am sorry for prying."}}
{{Oliviah|time=21:27, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah's eyebrows raised, for she was obviously puzzled. "I don't r-remember you p-prying?" she said, hesitantly raising her hands and making air quotes although the delivery of such motion was off. "Oh, but you're a w-writer? I l-like painting, or u-using oils or c-colored pencils, you know? A-Anyways!" she said, obviously comfortable with this topic of conversation. "W-Why would I write a-about it?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=23:59, January 29, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="WHile I am glad you do not consider all my questions to be prying, I do. I feel I have pestered you far too much for someone who's name I do not even know. My name is Zayd. Zayd Shafiq." *He smiled as he finally introduced himself to her.* "I've painted your story with my imagination. Having lived it you probably see it differently than I do. I found it interesting was all that I meant, and I have heard that writing can provide one with psychological relief. That is in now way an implication that you are in need of catharsis. ... By the way, I paint too."}}
{{Oliviah|time=00:20, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Oliviah S-Sokolova. And that's Oliviah with an H," she said, a bit proudly, almost as if she were a kid again. "Oh. Uh, what's catharsis?" she asked, evidently confused again, but she tried not to show it too much. "E-Either way, I h-haven't ever tried writing a-anything b-before."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:29, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="Catharsis means psychological relief." *He smiled biting back a chuckle at how proudly she said her name.* "I have a friend who got me into it, she used to write all time, while I mostly drew. It was not something I did much of myself, unless it was something associated to some picture I had drawn. Now writing has become something I find hard to accomplish."}}
{{Oliviah|time=03:53, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Oh, thanks. I probably sh-should've k-known that," she said, grinning and skipping down the aisle some to change what she was looking at. "Oh...Uh, who was it? And, what did you l-like to d-draw? I p-prefer p-people."}}

Or anything really. People, animals or whatever is around me."}}
{{Oliviah|time=04:12, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Oli="Oh. I can't draw a-animals very well," she said, scrunching up her nose slightly. "I paint them a-alright though? But, it's n-normally not that good r-regardless," she added.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:48, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I do not often focus a lot on details depending on what I am drawing. Perhaps even depending on how I am feeling when I started. I like to be alone when I draw, if I have to be outdoors I think it causes me to focus more on the little things."}}
{{Oliviah|time=04:55, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Oli=Oliviah giggled, "When I was a y-youngin', I u-used to w-watch people from a-afar and draw them. I think that's w-weird and c-creepy now, but I thought it was f-fine at the time," she said, "But, I've g-grown u-used to making p-pieces of people w-while talking with them. I k-kind of like it more."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=05:05, January 30, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I suppose I did the same. I drew my sisters a lot, some of their or our toys. I suppose I still do a lot of the same thing to this day. That skill you have gained now, I wish I had that sort of courage. I do not even like to share my work with other people all that much. Rarely ever to be honest with you. It is highly personal to me, like reading someone's diary or journal."}}
=Zayd and Aaliyyah's Apartment=
Zayd and Aaliyyah (2031)
{{Aali|time=07:37, February 22, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=After arriving home from the Ministry of Divine Health, she had a copy of the Wizarding World News tucked under her armpit and tossed it lightly onto the kitchen counter. "Zayd? If you're here, then I'm back!" she called, her voice light and soothing (or at least that's how it's often been described to her, but she personally thought it was a bit odd in tone). "If you're not, then I'm back anyways!" she continued, giggling to herself as she didn't expect her roommate to be back from whatever Quidditch practice he must have at the moment.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=19:37, February 22, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd stepped out of the bathroom fresh, clean, and still slightly damp from a shower. He was fully dressed save for shoes. He was not the type of person to walk around in a towel regardless of where he was at. It had something to do with modesty and insecurity, he was not some chiseled male model and no one was paying him to remain in some semi state of dress. He had only heard a few of Aaliyyah's words, the later half that sounded a lot like she was talking to herself. He chuckled to himself collecting his dirty clothes from off the floor and deposited them into the hamper in his room before meeting her in the living area.* "Welcome back." *He grinned as he moved toward the fridge.* "Did you eat yet?"}}
{{Aali|time=02:34, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=Aaliyyah chuckled, her more childish giggle turning into something more professional in sounding. "A Healer brought us some muffins, but that was hours ago," she said, looking him up and down quickly before slipping into the kitchen with a certain sense of elegance. As the refrigerator gave a small pop sound when she opened it, she continued, "I should make something for you, too, right?" she asked, turning around and looking at him with slightly raised eyebrows. "If so, what are you wanting?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowing together as she was obviously trying to figure out what she would want to make.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:27, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd took a few steps back from the fridge as Aaliyyah had beat him to it. He was fully prepared to do the heavy lifting in terms of throwing something together, or as the case may have been at this point, making a nice meal. He did not entirely appreciate her turn of phrases either, the way his nose wrinkled making it pretty clear. He felt like it made it seem like she thought she had to the cooking which was entirely untrue. It may have been the way things were when he was child, now that he had a saw it was not how things worked. He was almost certain they were both still holding on to old habits from a previous life.* "You don't have to make anything for me. I might be the one who asked, still I have yet to work up an appetite. But, if you have leftovers. I am not going to hesitate when it comes to eating them."}}
{{Aali|time=05:10, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=Aaliyyah straightened up her shoulders, looking almost a bit offended before she closed the refrigerator door. "Well...Obviously," she said, smiling before she hesitantly moved from the kitchen. "It's my decision, but I'm still supposed to regardless. Plus, I'm kind of under the thought that I'm a better cook anyways," she teased, laughing and tossing some of her hair over her shoulder.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:35, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd pursed his lips to one side and shook his head. He should have known to keep his mouth shut, to just accept the kind gesture for what it was. But of course he had to go and spoil by basically pointing out something that was obvious to the both of them.* "It would have been a completely different story if I had been the ne to come home while you were already cooking. Now." *He paused to give her a look.* "On to the subject of cooking. You might make a better savory dish, but I know I win in the battle of sweets."}}
{{Aali|time=06:56, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="The sweetest thing I make is homemade hummus," she said, smirking slightly before she reminded herself not to do that. "So, you, indeed, do excel in the races of the sweets," she made a slightly mocking tone of high importance, but it reminded her too much of her mother so she stopped soon after. "What about...lamb or chicken kofta? And the real stuff, not the fast food stuff." Aaliyyah shook her head, refraining from cussing, "I'll add something alongside it, but I can't say what yet."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:47, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="Hummus is not sweet. At least the hummus that I have had in the past has not ever been sweet." *He chuckled as he shook his head.* "I meant something that is typically meant to be a dessert. You know? Like kanafeh? Or asida." *He shrugged he did not expect her to be familiar with asida, for the way he thought of her it was more like a peasant dish. Something she and her family would probably pass on. Mostly because it was usually eaten without utensils.* "Anyways. We have both. I know we have some lamb if you feel like using it. I picked up some chicken before I got back. It might be a little more fresh if that matters to you."}}
{{Aali|time=19:47, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="And exactly my point. It can be sweet though, in my personal opinion. Maybe it's just my tastebuds," she said, smiling before clapping her hands together and trying not to appear too interested in a conversation over desserts. "Kunafeh isn't terrible. Actually, is quite magnificent," she said, kissing the tips of her fingers and waving them in the air for a brief moment (obviously in a joking manner). "Do you think you could actually make some? Oh, and asida?" The young witch paused and contemplated it for a moment, then nodded and carried on. "My family had it once in Tunisia, but it wasn't all that sweet. It was more dinner-like. I'm not sure I liked it all that much with the...lack of eating utensils and yet it had sauce," she said, shaking her head. "Is it something you've had a lot?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:18, February 23, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="Maybe not sweet is just the way my family liked it. I admit, I never really liked it much. Perhaps I would have liked it better it there was a touch of sweetness to it." *He shrugged. Now that he had considered it, and voiced his thoughts aloud it was odd to him he had never had sweet hummus before. It probably would be something he could eat all by itself. And in that thought he realized why he had never had it. For the very obvious reason it would turn him into a glutton.* "Did you ask me that as a serious question or were you making some sort of joke that I saw no humor in?" *He grinned ever so slightly.* "Of course I can make kanafeh. Do you think I would bring up just for it to be another topic of conversation? I ate it a lot when I was younger. I ... cannot actually remember the last time I had it."}}
{{Aali|time=03:33, February 24, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I can always make you some. I bet you would absolutely love it," she said, obviously being pleased with the idea of getting to make him some. It might've been a minor detail, but Aaliyyah was genuinely interested in it. "I wanted to make sure you weren't playing with me is all. You should make some soon, if it wouldn't be much of a bother." She smiled, but it was close to a grin. "So, is it always like that? With the sauce and the onion? The Asida, I mean..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:00, February 24, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="Aaliyyah, why would I play with you? It would be easier to pull your leg in a letter, when you cannot see my reaction as plain as day on my face. We are not in that position anymore." *He shrugged, not that it bothered him. She was actually his oldest friend. Unlike the ones he had lost in the past, he was glad she was still around.* "Our asida was always sweet, the first time I had something different it was the ... tomato-sauce version." *He wrinkled his nose.* "With okra in it."}}
{{Aali|time=00:16, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I do not know. Humans do such things sometimes. Those pranks? They're funny only sometimes," she said, pausing and nodding. Briefly, she giggled then raised her hand to her mouth and nose in embarrassment. She still wasn't used to living with Zayd, but it was hard to admit. "The sweeter version sounds a lot better."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=01:14, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd bobbled his head, he did not entirely disagree.* "You say that like animals are not similar. Have you never seen cubs play together? Tiger, bear, dragon or human for that matter. I personally think regardless of our species we all have a sense of humor that does not always mesh well with someone else's. For the record I promise not to play pranks on you." *He chuckled though his nose fighting the grin as he tried to appear serious.* "I think I will make some tomorrow, maybe for breakfast?"}}
{{Aali|time=04:04, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=It was a struggle not to laugh, so she realized a light chuckle. "Good, I wouldn't want my beings messed with. However, I believe that if I covered the bathroom in small dinosaur figures, that that would be absolutely magnificent," she said, smiling before shaking her head. It was unclear if she was kidding or not. "Oh, you would? That would be amazing. Thanks. Do you think you could wake me up to watch, or is that too weird?"}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:13, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd definitely could not tell if she was joking or not. His mouth fell open a bit, and he furrowed his brow. He lost himself for a few moments wondering whether she meant small figurines, drawings, or the more literal form of conjured dinosaur figures.* "It. Might. Be. Maybe it was just the shower floor. Or the walls?" *He shook his head trying to remember what it was they were talking about.* "If you are not already awake by the time I start. I am fairly certain that I could do that."}}
{{Aali|time=06:47, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I doubt that I could do that now though since I've already informed you of the plan. I would have to figure something else out, like...Wait, I'm not supposed to tell you," she said, covering her mouth and laughing. "Oh. Good. So, you don't mind waking me? I don't get why people make such a big deal out of it."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:10, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd smiled and shook his head, he was prepared to keep this running joke about decorations in the bathroom going. Instead he kept his thoughts to himself.* "Well, if you had not been the one to ask." *He shrugged.* "I could see how that might be considered awkward. I know I am going to hesitate when it comes to knocking or even going into your room. Still, you asked. I see no reason not to oblige."}}
{{Aali|time=07:33, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I'm always decent unless it's locked, if that's what you're asking, and I definitely won't ever have visitors of that kind," she said, to clear the air of ever having to discuss it i, although i an the future. "So, you're always welcome to come in. I don't quite mind, although my friends from Uagadou have informed me that I'm terribly difficult to actually wake up." The young witch straightened up her shoulders as she reached for her wand, "I hope you don't find that awkward of me to say." she added.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=07:52, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd blushed ever so slightly. He had not meant any of that and he definitely was not even thinking it. Now, of course, there we images in his mind on he rushed on in effort to free himself from the awkwardness.* "No, not all. I was not even thinking that. Not to suggest that you should not be thought of in that way... I would think you would prefer for me, being your friend, not to think of you like that? ... and I am just going to stop talking about it." *He laughed nervously as he scratched at his ear.* "I had a feeling you would say something about being hard to wake up, it is where I was expecting the conversation to go next. I assumed you would say something along the lines of you where known to attack if you did not wake naturally."}}
{{Aali|time=17:49, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=Aaliyyah noticed Zayd's blushing, but it wasn't anything to tease him over. Nonetheless, she laughed lightly and brushed some of her hair back behind her ear. "It's only ever been the two people. My parents never complained from when I was a younger child, but I do believe that I must've changed from then. I don't believe that anybody has complained about me attacking them though..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=20:30, February 25, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="They are your parents, as far as I am concerned they would have no reason to complain. Of course I could be wrong. Perhaps they were only being kind to spare your feelings. I highly doubt they would want you to feel insecure about they way that you wake up." *He shrugged again.* "That was ... a figure of speech. I do not actually believe you would pop up in attack mode. I had trouble thinking of some other way to describe why it would be difficult to wake you."}}
{{Aali|time=00:23, February 26, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I might attack. I do not know, but I do know that I would feel terrible if I ended up hitting you," she said, not necessarily looking apologetic but was some version of sad at the thought. "What do you think happens if you wake up somebody who is sleepwalking? It's not like I'm one of those people, but the thought popped in my mind."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=02:14, February 26, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I will make sure not to get too close. Maybe I will just shoot a water pistol at you from a safe distance." *He joked.* "You would not be the only one who would feel bad if you attacked me." *He made a feeble attempt at reassuring her.* "I have a fairly malevolent younger sister, which is not to say her behavior is what I expect from you. She is entirely cognizant of what she does and has no remorse." *He paused thoughtfully.* "I know nothing about sleepwalkers, except for what I have read. I believe you are not supposed to wake them. So, if that were the case and I were to see you doing so although you asked me to wake you I would not."}}
{{Aali|time=04:46, February 26, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="Oh, Zayd...Please, don't you dare," she said, shaking her head and placing her hand on her heart. "You have two sisters, don't you? Well, how have they been doing lately, if you don't mind me asking?" Aaliyyah raised her eyebrows slightly, "I've wanted to read into sleepwalking. It seems odd, but I believe that only Muggles really do proper research on it since I never heard anything huge on it in Morocco. Anyways..."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=18:04, February 26, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I would never. Unless we were having a water fight." *He shook his head, a small grin forming.* "My sisters are doing well, thank you for asking. It has been odd for me to not be able to watch them as closely as I would have when we were all in school together. But, since I have heard nothing terrible about them I suppose I have nothing to worry about." *He furrowed his brow slightly as he considered her words.* "Is it possible that the people of Morocco look at sleepwalking with a healthy dose of superstition? If so that might be why you never head much about it."}}
{{Aali|time=23:14, February 27, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="I never said it was only a Muggle thing, but I don't believe we've cared to really think about it as much as they might've. Perhaps, it's actually some sort of creature possessing our minds, so we've already come up with an answer," she said, before moving on and going back to trying to prep for dinner.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=03:05, February 28, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd tried not to smile too broadly as he stifled a chuckle.* "I know what you said, Aaliyyah. I just wanted to make my feelings on the topic known as well. I do agree though, we as wizards have probably never looked at the same sort of issues the muggles do in the same way. Be they health related or otherwise." *He almost danced around her doing he best to stay out of the way. It was eerily reminiscent of his childhood down to the fact that he was in his socks.* "I think that creature thing might hold some weight as well. At least in a few circles it might even be a firmly held belief."}}
{{Aali|time=03:48, February 28, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="Well, there has to be somebody and their family who believes, you know?" she said, shrugging. "I think it's a good thought. Maybe, I'll bring it up at work and see what they think," she added, laughing softly.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=04:01, February 28, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled softly as he shook his head.* "I wouldn't. Unless you were trying to be funny."}}
{{Aali|time=23:45, February 28, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="Then I won't, but I'll come up with an explanation at one point or another," she said, going a bit quiet as she started preparing the chicken for the kofta and getting out the proper spices.}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:07, March 1, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="An explanation for who? For me or the people at your work?"}}
{{Aali|time=00:36, March 1, 2017 (UTC)|Aali="For the both of us. It probably won't be a project anytime soon, but I do believe that if there's ever slow work days...then we could go into it then."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=00:57, March 1, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd=*Zayd chuckled to himself as he nodded.* "I suppose that could actually turn out to be an effective use of some down time."}}

I have not talked to my old friend from school, Tess, in who knows how long. My girlfriend Albion has all but disappeared off the face of the Earth. I am not complaining, I like to know that someone was able to get closer to me rather have to get farther and farther away." *He shrugged nervously scratching ear.* "If you think it is weird that our families have not met ... us, for lack of a better term. Does that also mean you want to meet my sisters? Or my mother? I refrain from including my step-father because I still find the him and the relationship odd."}}
{{Aali|time=06:32, March 4, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=Aaliyyah frowned, "I didn't know that your girlfriend had disappeared. I just figured that...I couldn't meet her yet. I'm sorry, Zayd. Do you still consider you two to be dating?" she asked, before shaking her head and trying to move on. "Well, you probably wouldn't be meeting my father or mother, but my cousin and her husband would be more accepting. Plus, there's nothing nice about meeting a former Minister and his wife. It's weird for me to stand around and watch people meet my parents for the first time, let alone if it were me introducing somebody to them." She paused, "I think that it would be fun meeting your mother and your sisters, but that's not something we would have to do."}}
{{Hecate Grimm|time=06:52, March 4, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I love her, she is the only girlfriend I have ever had. I have no idea how breaking up works. I cannot not even say if our last conversation ended with her saying goodbye forever without me even knowing it. After graduation we drifted apart and now she is ... gone." *He tried not to think about it, a simple answer was yes, he still thought they were dating. He did not want to seem pathetic if Albion had in fact dumped him.* "If you think meeting my family would be fun then you should do it, maybe a game even. My mother at least is almost always there. You could probably meet my sisters any weekend that you want provided they are not to busy."}}
{{Aali|time=07:16, March 4, 2017 (UTC)|Aali=The young witch sighed, dropping what she was working on and turning to face him. Her expression was serious, but not in any way firm or tough. "I can't voice my opinions on love, because I don't feel that I'm allowed any. I think you know that about me by now. I haven't loved anybody, so I can't voice what I feel might be it," she said, shaking her head. "I do take what you're saying, however, as you staying attached because you're scared to admit that she's left you. I don't think you two are still dating, but I'm not sure I have quite a concept of what dating actually is," she finished, before turning back around and continuing with making dinner. "Maybe, we'll all get to meet up this summer. That could be nice."}}

{{Hecate Grimm|time=21:14, March 4, 2017 (UTC)|Zayd="I-I... I am sorry you feel that way, Aaliyah. Everyone deserves love. To love and be loved in return. You may not have loved anybody yet, but someday you will. It happens when you are not even looking. I guess I am still have not quite got the concept either. *He grinned weakly before it faded away and he shrugged. He got this numb feeling as she walked away. He drifted back towards the hall, towards his room.* "That would be nice. I can leave a schedule out, you pick a day or just show up. My mother never fails to show. Even if she leaves early or shows up late." *He fell further back going to his room leaving the door open as he did not want the privacy just some time.*}}
=The Hog's Head=
Zayd and Skye (2032)
{{SkyeJ|19:28, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|Since she dropped out of Hogwarts, Skye had been trying to juggle finding a job and fooling around with a girl she met in London. She had tried to fool around with the girl in a public bathroom the other day, which ended up with the causal hook up ending for a while, so Skye was just sitting by herself in the Hog's Head}}
{{ZaydS|19:36, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd strolled in a nd took a eat at the bar. He would not use the word lonely to describe himself at least not to other people. Even when he writes he uses other words for the simple reason that loneliness is equal to sadness. His life isn't terrible, he shouldn't be sad save for the fact that fame hasn't been all that kind.*}}
{{SkyeJ|19:43, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|She had been watching the door for any good looking guys coming in, so once Zayd came in, Skye went straight for him. She quickly checked herself in the reflection of her phone case, which happened to be a mirror, fixing her shirt so that it showed a little more than it was before, then moved over towards Zayd, sitting next to him. "Hey there."}}
{{ZaydS|19:46, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd shot a glance in Skye's direction.* "Hey..." *He was forced to do a double take certain he had missed something.* "Hello. Hi. How are you?" *He turned his gaze forward to collect his thoughts before he looked at her again.*}}
{{SkyeJ|19:50, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"Not bad, now I'm sitting next to you. How about yourself?"}}
{{ZaydS|19:53, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd flashed her a slow grin.* "I would have to say the same. I am doing better now that I see you."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:58, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"My name's Skye and I think I've seen you somewhere before. Where you ever in Brazil?"}}
{{ZaydS|20:03, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd looked over at her again, a bit puzzled this time.* "No, not to my recollection. Do you spend a lot of time there?"}}
{{SkyeJ|20:06, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"I did for a while. I went to school there until my sixth year, which was when I moved to England. Are you a famous athlete of some kind?"}}
{{ZaydS|20:17, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd nodded and smiled.* "Welcome to England than, I suppose." *He nodded again.* "I am, actually. I play quidditch."}}
{{SkyeJ|20:25, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"I've been here a while so no need to welcome me. Then that is where I know you. My dad took me to a Catapults and Harpies game so that is where I've seen you. I'm guessing you play for the Catapults unless you recently changed gender."}}
{{ZaydS|20:56, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"Um. No. Not recently and not in the future." "He chuckled." "I do play for the Catapults. I was sort of a replacement."}}
{{SkyeJ|21:06, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"Then you are Zayd Shafiq. You are my favourite player by the way."}}
{{ZaydS|21:19, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"Am I?" *He laughed in disbelief.* "You must be new to world of professional quidditch."}}
{{SkyeJ|21:30, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"Really new. I always tried to skip the games at school, doing something else. You're still good though."}}
{{ZaydS|21:41, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"For someone who is new to it. Thanks, I guess." *He chuckled.* "When you were avoiding games at school what sort of things were you doing?"}}
{{SkyeJ|21:49, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|Even though she was open about most things, she certain wasn't open to what she did alone in the dorm to a guy she just met. "Either flirting with the few people still left in the castle or some quality time to myself."}}
{{ZaydS|22:22, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd nodded again.* "Are you saying getting attention from other people is sort of a hobby for you?"}}
{{SkyeJ|22:33, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|"It was during school, now it is just if I'm in the mood for some fun under the sheets for most people."}}
{{ZaydS|22:39, April 29, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd held his tongue trying to pick and choose his words without being offensive.* "You are ..." *He hesitated second guessing his choices.* "... not extremely particular about who you let into your bed. So to speak."}}
{{SkyeJ|00:24, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"It is certain types of girls, certain types of boys, all of them I have to like and know a bit about them first. Some people don't ever reach that stage, like I had a friend that I wanted to get to that part but she didn't."}}
{{ZaydS|00:45, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Been there. Done that." *He gave her a bit of shrug not wanting to say much else on the matter.* "If you only get that intimate with a certain types. What's your preference?"}}
{{SkyeJ|00:51, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I don't know actually. I think I equally prefer both. Like guys obviously have something girls don't but girls know how to pleasure a girl better than a guy most times, like where to touch."}}
{{ZaydS|00:54, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd raised a brow and he averted his gaze chuckling to himself.* "Well, you definitely are not shy. I did not mean your sexual preference. What I was asking was for you to describe the type of man or woman that you are most attracted to."}}
{{SkyeJ|00:58, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"You could have said that. One with good looks obviously, so you've got that covered."}}
{{ZaydS|01:04, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I am not interested in being so direct as to say do you like guys who look like me. But thank you for getting to point quicker than I did." *He grinned ever so slightly.* "Is that all you care about when it comes to other people? Their looks?"}}
{{SkyeJ|01:20, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Nobody dumber than I am or hates people because of something they can't control, like parentage."}}
{{ZaydS|01:24, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Wait a minutes. You like people who look good, but it is a deal breaker for you if they are dumb? I am not trying to sound stereotypical but it has been said before and oftentimes proven true that the better looking someone is the less intelligent they are."}}
{{SkyeJ|01:26, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I'm not that smart myself, so it is proven."}}
{{ZaydS|01:29, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd smiled.* "You sound smart enough to me."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:15, April 30, 2017 (UTC)~|She smiled back, one more lustful than happy. "I'm flattered you think I sound smart."}}
{{ZaydS|02:19, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"You are able to use your words. That is the first step in sounding like a moderately educated being."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:21, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I do focus on sounding smart than actually being smart. Sounding smart always beat being smart."}}
{{ZaydS|02:26, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Not if you are giving yourself trouble trying to sound like something you might not actually be."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:35, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Which I never do so it is never a problem for me."}}
{{ZaydS|02:37, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd stared at her in quest admiration.* "What did you say your name was again?"}}
{{SkyeJ|03:00, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I told you my first name, Skye, but not my last name which is Jordan."}}
{{ZaydS|06:07, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd smiled again as he said her name.* "Skye. That's a pretty name. I think I would remember if you mentioned it before."}}
{{SkyeJ|20:33, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I said my name first without you even asking, before I was guessing your name."}}
{{ZaydS|20:38, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Ah, yes" *He nodded.* "You mean when you promptly threw me off with a question about myself and before you recognized me." *He paused again.* "Clever."}}
{{SkyeJ|21:06, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I can defend myself, like if I get angry, I can throw fireballs."}}
{{ZaydS|21:29, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I did not mean to imply that you were unable to defend yourself. I was only asking if you were concerned about your well being. I suppose I can take that as a no."}}
{{SkyeJ|23:28, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I've been dealing with stuff like that all my life so it doesn't bother me."}}
{{ZaydS|23:46, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"You mean people treating you differently because you are..." *He hesitated not wanting to put it so crudely as to call her a half-breed.* "... half-human"}}
{{SkyeJ|23:52, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"Yeah, every since I was little. When I was younger, I got treated differently when I wanted to play with the other kids in the village, like I had some disease or something."}}
{{ZaydS|23:58, April 30, 2017 (UTC)|"I can certainly say that you are the first person I have ever met who has called being preternaturally beautiful a disease or something." *He paused.* "Do you still get that sort of treatment from other people?"}}
{{SkyeJ|00:08, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I've never called it a disease, other people in Brazil made it seem like it was when my mother and I were around. Not too much. Guys normally find me more attractive than other women in the room so they don't treat me differently until they snap out of my natural charm."}}
{{ZaydS|00:16, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"Is that when the ... disease like aspect came into play? When these guys who were, we will just say were enamored with you, were not longer taken by your charms. How different was the way they treated you?"}}
{{SkyeJ|01:03, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"That was my situation when I was little. I've always been able to do the thing I do, without even knowing, so all the mothers and wives thought me and my mum were going to do something with them, like making them commit crimes. Now days, if they guy is in a relationship, they threaten me but if they are single and not gay, well you get the picture."}}
{{ZaydS|01:06, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"And you like that sort of attention? Or is it more like something you can not exactly avoid?"}}
{{SkyeJ|01:45, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"Sometimes I like it, if it is a some cute boy."}}
{{ZaydS|01:55, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"You make it sound a lot like there's no chance of you turning down an interested guy who you also find attractive."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:31, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"You probably wouldn't turn down an interested girl that you find attractive if your single."}}
{{ZaydS|03:56, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I..." *He didn't know what to say. He wanted to think of himself as faithful to Albion. In case she ever did come back, but it unfair to him holding on to someone who was not there physically or emotionally.* "... might be one of the few men in the world with the willpower to do so."}}
{{SkyeJ|04:34, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"You can defiantly resist me so I don't doubt it."}}
{{ZaydS|04:37, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd took a breath doing whatever he could to swallow the words fighting to come out. Not for lack of trying.*}}
{{SkyeJ|18:44, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|She could see Zayd was having a hard time. "So I'm guessing you're not single or really into a girl by the way you're acting around me."}}
{{ZaydS|19:32, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd swallowed hard scratching at his ear nervously.* "I have... or had a serious girlfriend. We were together for about four years and then she just --" *He fell silent.* "She just disappeared. You tell me. When a girl just chooses to up and leave you behind does that mean the relationship is over?"}}
{{SkyeJ|19:37, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I think it does. If she had tried to keep a long distance relationship, then it wouldn't be over but they never really last for long. So Zayd, you are single."}}
{{ZaydS|19:51, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I have heard that before." *He nodded.* "I suppose I chose not to believe it at the time. I still would rather not. Incase she comes and assumes that I was here waiting. Which until now I think I was?" *He paused to look at her again.* "I guess so, Skye."}}
{{SkyeJ|20:50, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"Everyone goes through that, like I'm still waiting for a girl I met in England to call me back after we had some troubles in the casual meeting department. Then it wouldn't be considered weird if I try something."}}
{{ZaydS|21:22, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I will not force you choose a guy you just met over a girl you already know. But it seems to me you made your choice. Just like I was or am doing. You are waiting for someone who might not give you what you want."}}
{{SkyeJ|23:27, May 1, 2017 (UTC)|"I don't think she will call me back anyway. She seemed really angry when we had our little falling out. She defiantly gave me what I wanted then, and was pretty good at it, but I've defiantly changed what I want."}}
{{ZaydS|00:00, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"What happens when you change your mind about me?"}}
{{SkyeJ|00:06, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"That probably won't happen for a long time. You are one of the best looking guys I've talked to in a while and you think I'm smart. If that does happen, I'll defiantly come back to you after oneshort go with someone else."}}
{{ZaydS|00:23, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"I am not entirely sure how I feel about that. But I have to admit it is the best offer I have gotten in a while."}}
{{SkyeJ|04:43, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"I thought someone that is a famous athlete would get more offers to have a relationship with someone."}}
{{ZaydS|04:45, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"Someone who was open to it probably does. I was firmly set on the belief that my last girlfriend was going to come back to me."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:12, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"If it was a couple of weeks I wouldn't have blamed you cause being in a relationship with her for about four years would be hard to get over. How long has it been since you last saw her?"}}
{{ZaydS|19:16, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd was embarrassed to admit how long he had been holding on to someone who clearly did not want to be with him.* "About two years now."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:27, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|Skye was slightly shocked at that. "You must have really liked her."}}
{{ZaydS|19:34, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd nodded.* "I thought I loved her. I think a part of me still does."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:54, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"When you're with someone that long, there always will be. Other parts of you maybe in love with someone else, but deep down there will always be someone you love no matter what. Like I've got someone like that, the first girl I had sex with."}}
{{ZaydS|21:11, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"Someone like that, your first, is always going to have a special place. I am not sure if it could be called love if that person is not who you share your life with."}}
{{SkyeJ|21:25, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"She was actually my first time in general, like I think I've never had a guy properly in me and she was my first girl. I did love her until she broke up with me."}}
{{ZaydS|21:28, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"That is exactly what I mean by first." *He was blown away by how open she was. It made him uncomfortable but the sight of her face eased that feeling away.* "... Can I buy you a drink?"}}
{{SkyeJ|23:57, May 2, 2017 (UTC)|"You actually have a job. Warning, I might drink a lot which is why I would want to pay you back." Skye gave Zayd a seductive smile. "Whatever you're drinking."}}
{{ZaydS|00:02, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"Maybe you should just have water." *He chuckled and paused briefly before he ordered an entire bottle of Blishen's firewhisky. After it arrived he quickly poured two small shots one for her and one for himself.* "If it is not to your liking, you do not have to finish it."}}
{{SkyeJ|01:21, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|As soon as Zayd poured the drink, Skye took the drink and drunk it all in one go. "Not bad."}}
{{ZaydS|01:32, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd watched in awe his own small glass still at his lips.* "... Glad you like it." "He finished his and poured them both a second."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:00, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"I've had better." Skye said before she once again downed the drink. "You're trying to get me wasted aren't you?"}}
{{ZaydS|02:17, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"As wasted as you want to be." *He grinned looking up at her as he poured them both another.* "What was it you had that was better?"}}
{{SkyeJ|03:49, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"That is going to be very." She drunk it once again. "Little bit of vodka and lemon juice back in Brazil."}}
{{ZaydS|03:56, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"Vodka and lemon juice?" *He polished off his own drink at the same time as her before slowly pouring them both another.* "How is that better? It sounds like cleaning solution."}}
{{SkyeJ|07:03, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"It just tastes like my first girlfriend. Defiantly cleans out the stomach of a 15 year old.." Skye had another drink, starting to feel its effects. She put her hand on Zayd's inner thigh, which she would have done anyway at some point without the alcohol.}}
{{ZaydS|18:31, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd's brow furrowed and his features changed, he was clearly bothered.* "For the purpose of clarity." *He took her hand off his thigh.* "You were 15 when you met your first girlfriend? ..."}}
{{SkyeJ|20:23, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"Yeah I was but I was turning 16 that year. The age of consent is like 14 in Brazil anyway, but that law has that many technicalities, I just remember that I could of had sex with a 17 year old when I was 12."}}
{{ZaydS|21:31, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"Do you have any idea how much of a turn off it is when you say things like that?" *He finally let go of her hand.* "You are so beautiful it is hard not to look at you. But then you say things like that and I feel like I need to get as far away from you as I possibly can."}}
{{SkyeJ|23:46, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"Would me saying that in Brazil culture, it is rude to not kiss a girl you've met in the first 10 minutes a turn off? Which bit do you mean, like how I was talking about the age of consent in Brazil?"}}
{{ZaydS|23:51, May 3, 2017 (UTC)|"You can kiss whomever you please. It is your right to do whatever you want with your body. What I was referring to was the revelation that you could have had been intimate with a 17 year old when you were 12. That is extremely offputting I am not sure how you fail to understand that. For your sake I hope that when you chose to use the words 'could have' it also means that you did not engage in such activity."}}
{{SkyeJ|00:01, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"I only remembered that because I even find it disgusting. Like what 12 year old would want to have sex with someone that is 17? The fact I was trying to put out, Brazil has weird laws."}}
{{ZaydS|00:12, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"It is my hope that no 12 year ever wants to be that intimate with anyone. I have two younger sisters. I am incredibly sensitive the idea of a young woman being taken advantage of because of she has not had enough life experience to know better." *He paused to take a breath and finish the drink he had been holding on to.* "You could have left it at Brazil's age of consent is 14. That was enough of a fact for me."}}
{{SkyeJ|00:32, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"Then I wouldn't have told the truth then. Those laws in Brazil are complicated and have heaps of lope holes."}}
{{ZaydS|00:36, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"That pales in comparison to the fact that there are 14 year olds over there making decisions they probably are not fully prepared to understand the consequences of."}}
{{SkyeJ|00:48, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"There a countries that have it at 16 but I can sort of understand that, not because I was almost 16. At least some 16 year olds understand what is happen and the consequences are."}}
{{ZaydS|00:52, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|*Zayd nodded in agreement.* "Being responsible for one's own actions does not always lead to the best possible outcome in any given scenario whether the person involved is 16 or 60. Some people just make bad decisions."}}
{{SkyeJ|02:41, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"Yeah, you've got a point there. I've done it a few times and it changed some aspects of my life."}}
{{ZaydS|03:06, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"And if you had been to young to really understand what it was you were engaging in. I just assume it may have sent you down the wrong path in life."}}
{{SkyeJ|06:27, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"I don't think it did. I know the path it is leading me to and if it looks like it is going bad, I'll change it, only when I can see how it will turn out."}}
{{ZaydS|19:15, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"If you are actually enjoying yourself you would not be able to see it as bad. Whether the choices you make are detrimental to you or not."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:28, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"I actually can. I was enjoying myself with a boy a couple of months ago until I realized he was trying to get me into prostitution. Or it might not be because who knows if the future is already picked out for us or not."}}
{{ZaydS|19:35, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"It is not. The future is not set in stone. Every decision you make from the ones that seem insignificant to the ones that makes a much more profound impact on your life change your future in a variety of quite possibly unfathomable ways."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:43, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"It sounds like you've had an in depth look on how time works." Skye poured herself another drink and drunk it a little bit slower than she was before.}}
{{ZaydS|19:53, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"I have done an exorbitant amount of reading. And I may or may not have wanted to find a way to modify he Hour-Reversal Charm for personal reasons." *He poured himself a drink, knocked it back and poured another.*}}
{{SkyeJ|20:02, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"If I was smart enough to modify spells, I would so try to modify that charm so that it was a endless lope that stretches over a certain hour."}}
{{ZaydS|22:20, May 4, 2017 (UTC)|"I was looking for a way to go much further back than an hour."}}
{{SkyeJ|07:06, May 5, 2017 (UTC)|"Isn't there a thing that can do that? Like up I think it is called a time turner."}}
{{ZaydS|18:01, May 5, 2017 (UTC)|"There is an item that exists that can do that, yes. Would you suggest I make my own or purloin one from someone else? Regardless of your answer. I am interested in using a spell not an item."}}
{{SkyeJ|19:58, May 5, 2017 (UTC)|"Then I don't need to answer that. I know why you're so set on doing this. You want more time with your old girlfriend."}}
{{ZaydS|22:34, May 5, 2017 (UTC)|"Who said I was set on anything? It is an interest that I have. A hobby if you will. Also you would be wrong theory would be incorrect. It is not about her at all."}}
{{SkyeJ|17:19, May 6, 2017 (UTC)|"You've waited years for her, I think you're trying to do it for her and not knowing."}}
{{ZaydS|17:23, May 6, 2017 (UTC)|"She never said goodbye, I thought that meant she would come back. Someday. I started looking into it before I even met her. Why would I try to do something so grand for someone who did not care enough about me to tell me they were leaving? That would be foolish. Are you calling me a fool?"}}
{{SkyeJ|17:40, May 6, 2017 (UTC)|"Love makes us look foolish and we can't stop it. She may have not said anything to you, proving she probably doesn't love you as you love her but you still do. I'm saying you should find her because that would take a while but maybe you should try to put that love into something else."}}
{{ZaydS|17:44, May 6, 2017 (UTC)|"I am not focused on her. My love is put into my relationships with my family. I am not some sap lying in wait for the girl I thought was mine to come back and prove it. I have a job, I have a life that she is not a part of. You seem to think I am fixated on this person from my past because you lead this conversation right back to her based on something I said which has no connection to her whatsoever."}}
{{SkyeJ|03:57, May 7, 2017 (UTC)|"I've seen love in many people and when the other person leaves without saying something to the first person, I've seen the look on them and you have that same look. Going back in time makes me think that you would want to spend more time with her."}}
{{ZaydS|21:40, May 8, 2017 (UTC)|"How many different ways do you want me to say it to you? I am not interested in going back for her. Why would I torture myself further by going back to look on a relationship that did not work out? There is nothing I can do to change the outcome. In the end she is always going to leave and I will always end up without her. Do I hope she will recognize that she made a mistake. Yes. Am I still waiting for her to comeback. I was. And I would be happy to see her but what we had together will never be the same. My intentions have nothing do with her. It goes way beyond that."}}
