Sky quietly entered the common room. She dropped her bag by the window ledge and set down her cloak after getting her wand. "Acio Blanket." She mumbled, and within seconds, her black,red, and yellow blanket came zooming onto the window ledge. She laid down on the ledge and pulled her blanket over her and gently closed her eyes. She was awfully tired.
Alex came into the room hoping he knew someone in the common room who could help with his homework but only saw someone he had never met sleeping on the ledge. He shook his head and laughed under his breath. He sat down on the couch and took his books out and sighed.
Sky slowly opened her eyes. She wasn't asleep quite yet. "Um..who are you? I've never seen you around before..." She said after yawning.
Alex almost jumped at the noise but looked towards the window and nervously chuckled. "Oh the name is Alex Potter and you are...."
She smiled a little. "I'm Sky. Sky Mason. What year are ya in?" She asked as she slowly hopped off of the ledge.
Leah heard people talking downstairs and went down to see who they were.
"Uh Hi." She said to the girl that walked in.
*Hi! I'm Leah! What's your name?* Leah asked thinking to herself ~Maybe Jessie knows them...~
She grinned. "I'm Sky Mason. Jessie's friend."
"I'm in my sixth year....and I have never seen you around before...what year are you in?"
Sky laughed. "Really? Thats funny. I'm in sixth also." She grinned and then sighed.
Goblet was returning from the lake. Although he enjoyed the walk, he was growing a bit weary of the murky stench. He had just entered through the portrait door when he saw three people in casual conversation. He had met the boy before. His name was Alex. The other two girls he did not know, which wasn't a surprise to him because he didn't know very many people. He did find the idea silly of not being acquainted when the association of being in the same house should have done so in the first place. Goblet decided to introduce himself.
"Hello, my fellow Gryffindors. I've met this bloke Alex before, but the other two in his company I have not. So I think it is necessary to introduce myself. My name is Keith, but I am referred to often as Goblet. Take your pick, but I do say I prefer Goblet," said Goblet with an optimistic smile.
Leah laughed. She liked him already. *Hey Goblet! Nice to meet you. I'm Leah. I'm a fifth year*
"Hello Leah. I am a seventh year. I think that my kind is supposed to look down and degrade those who are of lower grade. But I can't find much sense in that, so I don't practice it," said Goblet. "Oh, and hello Alex! And who is this sleepy lass?" asked Goblet, referring to the girl under the covers.
Sky looked at Goblet and gave him a friendly smile. "I'm Sky. Pleasure to meet you..Goblet. I'm a sixth year."
Leah smiled and then said to Sky, *So you know my sister Jessie right?*
"Yeah. She's my best friend here at Hogwarts." She said as she went to her bag to get her notebook. She felt like drawing since she wasn't going to sleep yet.
*Mine too!* Leah said laughing. She sat down in a chair that was in the sun and closed her eyes. She wasn't going to sleep though, just indoor tanning.
Sky started to draw a hippogriff. She really liked them and hoped to own one someday.
Jessie mumbled. *I wonder if you could tan like this in the winter....*
(Its Winter? I'm confused lol.)
Sky looked up from her drawing. "You can, but you'd have to have a light over you for nearly 48 hours before getting a nice tan."
Goblet sat down in a chair in the far wall. "Forty-eight hours? Now that would be a die hard tanning session. I like the cold and all, but baring your skin to the cold that long? I don't think it would be worth it."
Sky laughed. "So Goblet. I don't think I've ever seen you before."
"And I haven't seen you before either. In fact, I haven't seen a lot of people until recently. Now I have a lot more friends than I had before ratio wise. Or rather, they could be friends or actually people who act like they can tolerate my presence," said Goblet.
Sky nodded in agreement. "I'm getting kind of hungry. Would you like to go eat at Hogsmead? Anyone can come."
"I'll come. But you sure did look sleepy minutes ago," said Goblet.
Albus was walking down that stairs to sit in the common room. Some ice taps hang from his hair, as the result of being in his room, decorating with ice, a bit to long. He had already noticed that someone was down there, and he had recognised Sky's voice, so he wanted to have a conversation with someone being alone nearly all day.
When he was by the end of the stairs, he could see them, so he said," Hi guys!" while he continue walking. Albus screamed as he stumbeled in his own feet, landing on the foor with his hands first.
He got up and looked at them all embarrassed. " Uhm.... Hi!" A light chuckle came out from his mouth, developing into laughter.
Sky laughed. "Albus, you alright?" She looked at Goblet. "I was, and still am, but I'm not gonna get any sleep with my friends here." She smiled.
" You know more takes to damage me!" Happily.
He looked at Goblet, not recognising him. " And you are...?" While he turned to the boy.
~Never seen that guy here before....~
"Oh, I am Goblet," said Goblet with a smile. "And what is your name, fellow parson?"
" Well I'm Albus. Don't call me Al. I don't really like it." Albus said and returned the smile.
" What's with Goblet? Is that your real name? It sounds a bit weird for a real name..."
Albus said, wavering a bit, not wanting to say anything bad if it was his real name.
Sky laughed. "Albus..would you like to join me and Goblet for dinner?"
(I can make a topic in Hogsmead?)
" OKay. I'm starting to get hungry... Haven't ate in nearly the whole day"
Albus said as he stomach rumbeled a bit.
(I made the topic ^_^)
(Righty right.)
"My real name is Keith, but Goblet is an acquired nickname. Can't quite remember how I got it though, but I am pretty sure the circumstances were humorous," said Goblet. "Anyway...
...let's eat!"
"Okay I want to eat!" He exclaimed.
((sorry for the delay in reply....))
Leah said *OOOh! Me too! I'll come! But realy Goblet, who would tan OUTSIDE in the WINTER!?*
" ME! " Albus said quickly. " Because of my low body temparature, and my ice powers, I do it daily!"
He smiled to all of them. " When are we going?"
Leah laughed. *Other than you Albus... I'd tan inside. I'd probably falll asleep on the common room floor in a patch of sun...* She said.
((What's the post called??))
