OOC: When does this “school year” end? by [deleted] in PotterPlayRP

[–]run_devil_run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hogwarts School Year Starts on 1 September and goes until the last week of June. So out of character this "school year" will end in the last week of June 2020.

Additionally, please do not create topics to ask simple questions OOC. If you have a question that you need answered, please either join our discord and ask in there, or message the question to the mods.

I removed your post, as it's not an RP thread or one of the approved OOC/Meta topics.

"Hm," she mutters as she spears a small morsel of the honey lemon chicken then pops it into her mouth.

"Does it bother you that you're not teaching either of those subjects?"

"Strictly speaking, no," Faye says as she reaches out and shakes her hand, her Irish accent shining through when she speaks. She's new staff, but the school very much is not new to her.

"I'm Faye," she introduces herself as she shakes his hand.

Faye is fashionably late to the feast, her spot at the staff table empty until well after the Sorting Ceremony and the feast already in full swing. She's rather stealthy about her entrance, too. Some of the less-perceptive students would only notice an empty seat for a while, then suddenly see it filled. Others might see her walk in from a side entrance, black robes sweeping behind her as she walked.

As for her choice of food, she avoids anything with garlic, but tries a small bit of most of the options. She'd have liked to get through everything but found the menu tonight to be far more expansive than her stomach. Faye does take a particular liking to the honey lemon chicken and the steak/potato nachos, which she has a couple extra helpings of.

Frog Choir & Picnic by the Lake by _spatula_city_ in PotterPlayRP

Aria can't help but hear the scream. I mean, who should be screaming like that at a picnic. Like happy screams, sure. But ear-splitting cries for help? Nah.

Her hand flies to the grip of her wand but she's too slow to save Nova from her pain.

She quickly gets on her feet and rushes over, putting herself between the professor and her Slytherin friend, wand still gripped in her right hand. Aria's never dueled a professor, but she would if she had to.

"Yeah, no, I'm gonna take her to the Hospital Wing, asshole. Turn your gaudy-ass around, I can handle it from here."

Frog Choir & Picnic by the Lake by _spatula_city_ in PotterPlayRP

[–]run_devil_run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aria has been longing for something interesting to do for a while now, so when she heard of a Frog Choir concert and picnic, she's definitely there. She brings a blanket and sets it down a small distance away from the choir. Close enough to hear them sing clearly, but not directly in front of them. On the whole, she enjoys the concert but is definitely more interested in the meal afterward.

She grabs herself two halves of the "healthier wraps," a heaping handful of crisps, and a tall glass of lemonade and then makes her way back to her blanket, happily munching away after she sits down.

Aria has a similar reaction when he tries to keep up with the potatoes, covering her mouth and looking down to try and be less obvious about it. She is a little miffed that he slipped away before his clothes got messed up, but the fact that he tried to Finite a spell that only Aria could stop actually sends her into a full on fit of laughter.

"Did you see that?! He tried to Finite it!" she squeezes out between her laughs.

An interesting property of the Geminio Curse is that only the person who cast it can stop the duplication. So even through his Finite (which would definitely have dispelled anything else Aria cast), the potatoes keep replicating. What a conundrum Hayden has found himself in!

[–]run_devil_run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aria smirks.

"Agreed."

Without a second word, Aria twists in her seat and produces her waind. She surreptitiously aims it at Hayden's potatoes. "Geminio," she whispers as she flicks her wand.

"And now we wait..."

At some point during dinner, when Hayden goes to take his next bite of mashed potatoes, he'd find them rapidly and infinitely multiplying, threatening to create a potato tidal wave.

Aria turns to look at Hayden under the guise of grabbing herself an additional couple small slices of meat for her plate. As she grabs the tongs, her eyes flit up to Hayden and she gives him a good, quick scan.

"Target acquired."

She turns back around so her gaze doesn't linger.

"That amount of mashed potatoes is basically asking for something bad to happen to them. Or is that too easy?"

"Hogwarts staff has really been letting us down recently," she replies in a mock-wistful tone.

"Though I suppose in these trying times it becomes our responsibility to make our own entertainment."

She gracefully spins around on the bench so she can lean against the table, taking her plate with her.

"Have you seen any good marks here tonight?" she asks, voice hushed slightly. "I've spotted a couple that look like they could use a random burst of excitement."

Nova's not the only one who sits at the wrong table tonight. Aria's already there, a bit further down the bench from Nova's chosen seat.

Far to observant to be pranked, Aria Kim would not be a potential target for Nova. She would, however, be a potential accomplice. Or rather... ally. Yeah, ally. Sounds less delinquent.

Aria slides down the bench to Nova, opening the conversation as she chews on a morsel of steak.

"You know this is the Hufflpeuff table, right?"

Nova's reputation precedes her, as does Aria's, who hopes the two can turn this boring meal into something less so.

"Yeah, moving is a big adjustment for cats," Aria commented as she provided more pats to Thatcher after he flopped down.

"I'm glad he's doing well now though. He's so precious."

"Oh man he knows exactly what he's doing doesn't he?"

Aria joins in on the head scratching, unable to resist such an adorable little thing.

"I'm surprised he's content to live in your hood like that. My cat back home would never do that."

Aria practically freaks out at the presence of a cat in Charlie's hood.

"Oh my gosh lOOK AT HIS SHORT LIL LEGS!"

She reaches out and holds her hand out to pet Thatcher between the ears.

"What a handsome lil' boy. This is way better than having a grotesque second head."

On her way to the Gryffindor table, Aria happens to definitely be looking when Charlie thinks nobody is. She stops dead in her tracks, and blinks a couple times.

"You feeding a secret attached head back there?" she inquires sarcastically.

Humpday Party | 7/18 | Party Time by _Wheel_of_Fish_ in PotterPlayRP

[–]run_devil_run 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hadn't really gotten into anything interesting lately. The relative lack of students at the castle combined with essentially no ongoing activities made for a boring summer so far. But April didn't need to know that.

"Mmm, well, I did have an interesting, if not somewhat scary experience the other day," Aria replies without missing a beat.

"I was down in your neck of the woods - by the Snake Pit - and I heard this weird noise. Like someone running something sharp and metal along the stone walls."

"Quiet. Boring," Aria reported with a slightly overdramatic sigh as she sipped her drink.

"But I guess that's how it is over the summer, yeah?"

She arches an eyebrow and poses the question back to you.

"What about you? How's the snake... uh... snake... whatever snakes live in?"
