It's time again for a small crowd to gather in the Great Hall of Hogwarts before venturing out to stumble into blind corridors, bang toes on chests in poorly lit storerooms and, with luck, avoid getting split up so that small groups trickle back over all the hours that remain until curfew.

[OOC: This is me being bad a scheduling. Ta da!]

Working for what you want..

So it's a few hours after Sunday lunch and Tyler's found himself a good perch in the Great Hall to sit down and read. And For once the nerdy Marlocke isn't reading a book, but a sports broom catalogue.

Right now, he's just looking at repair and replacement parts...

Congratulations! You've made it halfway through the winter term, and someone is determined that you will enjoy this evening. The smells of the feast started permeating the classrooms about mid afternoon, and by the time classes are let out for the day, the corridor are resplendant in pumpkins and candles.

The Great Hall, is the focus of the celebrations, with animated carved pumpkins on every table, more candles than there've been since the Sorting Ceremony and everyone somehow finding that they do in fact have better robes than the ones they usually wear.

It's the Annual Hogwarts Hallowe'en feast: Tuck in!

[OOC: Party thread! Tag into your table, tag another location. Thread hop. Come back here weeks later for more threads. Meet people you haven't threaded with before. Party!

Kirika arrives earlier than the time printed on the reminder notes. She's kind of in charge and it ruins things if you swoop in late for most people.

And so, armed with several different pieces of paper, she waits.

OOC: Please see the planning post for coordination.

The week has been busy with papers coming due, the Quidditch season starting to get into full swing and the first hints of Winter in the air. Will's at the Gryffindor table with a piece of paper where he's trying to write down all the things he has to do before the end of the week.

Every time he looks down, he remembers something new and he's not ready to go up to the common room yet because he knows someone will ask him about something on the list.

At least down here, it's busy enough that he can enjoy his dinner and think in relative peace. Feel free to bother him as he'd love a distraction from the mounting list of things to do.

(OOC: Tag Will or set up a thread with one of yours somewhere about the Great Hall.)

"And do not, under any circumstances, let go of your brothers."
It was the last thing she'd said, the very last time he'd seen her alive. It was easy to keep up on his promise when they were at Xavier's, less so to the point of impossibility at Arkham. Here at Hogwarts though, he was trying his damnedest to comply with Shen's last wishes.

Every morning he woke at dawn to meet Leonardo for a jog around the grounds, then they would eat breakfast together. After breakfast he'd meet up with Donatello for 6th Year Charms, and following that either lunch or the library. The evenings found Mike either seated at the Gryffindor table with Raph, or just across the way at the Hufflepuff table. Then they would spend the rest of the night goofing off and avoiding homework until either lights out were called, or he was asked to leave the Gryffindor common room.

But right now? In the sweet spot just post lunch and before dinner? That's his time. And today he's utilizing that time to sit on the steps outside the front door and sketch the surrounding grounds.

It was amazing what you could buy, borrow, or snag from people at this school. Nearly everything was for sale or lease for the right price. Through a series of favors and promises Mike had managed to scrape together a semi-decent art kit. Today was the day he was going to try out the charcoals he'd gotten in a trade from a really cute girl in Ravenclaw.

[The night before.]

Kate is sitting in the library, actually reading a book this time. It's a book on charms and as she reads she plays with a paper turtle.

Minimalist post welcomes visitors.

Since having found out there's going to be an explorer's club as well as some help regarding his charms work in the future, Tyler's gotten to be pretty relaxed and happy. He's got a few friends, who for today, aren't with him in the hallway right now, as he heads up to the library to look up more things on charms to try and at least PASS that class.

That's why, jogging up the passage towards the library, he's woefully unprepared for the group of Slytherin fourth years, just coming OUT of the library. It's why he freezes upon seeing Charles Brigman, the fourth year he ended up getting caught for filching, just as the bigger, meaner boy catches sight of him, and then runs.

"buggerbuggerbugger."

He is no match for Brigman with a wand, and while he's Gryffindor, he is not a bloody minded fool.

"EAT SLUGS YOU LITTLE SQUIB!"

"BUGGER!"

He's not going to dodge the next blast, so there's a first year, running for all he's worth down the passageway.

Barbara has a chess board floating in front of her chair and her lips are pursed in concentration as she contemplates her next move. She looks completely engrossed in the game, oblivious to anyone who might be nearby. But looks can be deceiving.

"Queen's knight to C-4," she finally says, watching as the piece moves.

And then the board rotates 180 degrees and she's back to contemplating her next move. That knight s now in a very annoying position. She'll have to find some way to deal with that.

At lunch a few folded pieces of parchment are passed around. Mostly between the younger years, but some of the older transfer students too.

Sign-up sheets for the Hogwarts Exploration Club

Meeting times (roughly every two weeks), places (Great Hall until everyone knows somewhere more discrete), goals (not getting lost if you don't take the same path between classes, secret passages and lost passages later), official staff sponsor (Professor Ross) and what that brings with it (some history added on top of the mapping).

There is a handful of empty lines at the bottom for names and houses, always at least one more at the bottom.

After lunch the paper will fold itself up and fly off.

After arriving on the Quidditch Pitch, Dinah doesn't waste any time heading to the seventh floor, still carrying the bundle she brought back with her.

When she told Leonardo he wanted the gym, she meant a very specific gym. Ever since her second year when her mother was in St, Mungo's for the first time and all she wanted was to be with her uncle Ted, she's taken to using the Room when it looks alomst exactly like Ted Grant's gym in the East End. Except that many years of use as a training spcace for her nad her friends have given it a specialist twist. The punching bags, for example, punch back.

Elbowing her way in with the bundle in her hands, she glances around the room for Leonardo. She's not late, but she wouldn't put it past him to be early.

[OOC: Plot locked to Leonardo]

"GRYFFINDOR" screams the Hat.

Leah tears it off her head and chucks it directly at the teacher as she jumps down to the floor and strides off to the appropriate, table. The noise is already getting on her nerves and her scowl that's just her neutral expression stays put, not caring for the loud cheers or the people leaning to get a better look at the tiny girl in the too-big robes. She has eyes only for the food.

There's only one space left that's big enough for a person, so that's where she ends up.

[Meanwhile back in the dorm.]

Class is over and everyone is bustling in and out of the room.

Well, almost everyone.

Maybe you are early and sitting down. Maybe you are hanging back from the last session to try and pick the teacher's brain. Maybe you are in the wrong room entirely.

It happens when the hallways rearrange themselves.

(OOC: Tag Kirika, tag each other, tag when ever.)

In the hour between eating lunch and having to go back to teaching, Leah is ensconced in the comfiest of chairs in the staffroom, listening to the gentle whisper of a scroll enchanted to read its contents to her. (First year homework on statues).

On the table by her elbow is a steaming mug of tea, into which she drops a few drops of a potion from a val she carries around with her.

Super duper magical independently moving eyes are awesome, but keeping track of all the information gives even her a headache.

The weather is crisp, sunny and with a wonderful wind that tempts flyers to enjoy it. Quidditch season will be starting soon and that means practices, try outs and all the business of making sure that the proper House team wins.

In Will's case that means he's working to pull together a new team and getting them ready as soon as possible. The two Theos have definite possibilities but he wants to put them to the best use possible.

Today he hasn't reserved the field but he's honestly considering it because it seems like you can't fly in Hogwarts without half the school coming to watch or show off.

He'll be in the air, around the stands and trying to make sense of all the flyers, because if other Houses' teams are going to be practicing around him, its not their fault if he learns things.

(OOC: For tagging with Will or all your general flying needs.)

If anyone's walking around the castle in the early evening, they might come across Rhys, sitting in a lovely squishy armchair on a staircase landing and sipping a cup of tea. There's an empty portrait frame next to him- if you're fast, you might notice a flurry of movement across the other paintings nearby. The girl in the picture's shy, you see.

And you've interrupted their chat. How rude.

The sun has just started to turn the morning fog a delicate shade of golden. Most of the grounds of Hogwarts are asleep but down by the lake the fog swirls around the figure of a man as he moves between graceful poses calmly, with great focus and ease. To those who might be familiar with martial arts, he is practicing a mix of Tai Chi and Northern Shaolin Kung Fu forms. This might seem odd as one form is defensive while the other is very aggressive but the man makes them flow into and out of each other as if they belong.

It is important to start your day right.

It's after dinner and studying that Aloysius Crumrin (7th year, Slytherin) takes himself outside to the Covered Bridge for a smoke and perhaps a bit of woolgathering, though he'd never admit it. There is drizzle in the air that promises a wet evening but he is enjoying it as it reminds him of his home in California.

Company wouldn't be a bad thing really, a fact he might even admit to.

What's really nice about Hogwarts when you can't sleep is all the places you can find which will give you privacy if you look long enough. Kate had found the seemingly abandoned roof of the South Tower a while ago and with it's parapet to block the view of pretty much anyone not flying, it was perfect for her needs. Tonight she stands in the middle of the roof and tosses a hand full of marbles into the air. Quickly, before they land, her wand is out and with several chants of, "Wingardium Leviosa!" all the marble begin to orbit her.

She's concentrating hard as keeping that many spells going at the same time is tricky but she still keeps an ear out for anyone climbing the stairs. Maybe she should worry more about brooms though...

The advantage of Hogwarts (one of many) is that there are a number of courtyards throughout the building, a number of them with trees growing in them. Having grown sick of studying in the Library, Trudy has found herself a courtyard, a tree, and set herself up there.

Setting herself up means in this case hanging upside down from a branch, reading one of her Arithmancy textbooks and ignoring the fact that her multiple braids are now just dragging on the ground.

(And before anyone asks, yes, her skirt is charmed to stay up when she does this.)

Eventually, she'll have to come down and read like a normal person.

Eventually.
