The Astronomy Tower

[Guest]

...

[Sirius Black]

Caradoc wanders up the tower, looking rather badass in his spectrespecs. Mhm, he's wearing them. How cool IS this guy? You just don't have words, bitch.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

Luna skips up and sees Rad again, her face lighting up when she sees he still has the spectrspecs on. "Hey Rad," she says calmly as she walks over to him. "Having an easy way finding your way around the castle so far?"

[Sirius Black]

"Hey there, Luna! Yeah, I've met a bunch of people, and they've helped me find my way around," he said with a smile. "Thank you for the spectrespecs, by the way! They're awesome. How're you doin'?" he asked, genuinely happy to see her.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

"I'm alright. Hey! My friend Nikki said you play guitar," she said happily. "I didn't know that. That's pretty cool. I wish I could play guitar, but it's not really my thing." She shrugged and smiled up at Rad. He's sort of tall compared to her. She's a tiny little thing.

[Sirius Black]

Caradoc is indeed quite tall, after all. "You know Nikki? Yeah, I met her today, she seems really awesome. I do play guitar," he said. "Do you play anything yourself?" he asked curiously, leaning on the rail as he looked out at the sky beyond.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

"I started playing drums a few years ago," she says, following his gaze out towards the sky and smiling. She always missed Hogwarts during the summer, though Sweden had been nice this past holiday. "She's one of my close friends. She's really nice."

[Sirius Black]

"She does seem really nice! Then again, everyone I've met so far seems really nice. It seems like this place is just really full of nice people," he said brightly. "Drums?! No way! Nikki and I talked about maybe forming a band, and since she plays bass, and I sing and play guitar, we were looking for a drummer. I'm surprised she didn't mention you, honestly. I found another guitarist earlier, but I think he'll take some convincing. I can take care of that, though. Would you be interested in joining us? That'd be pretty awesome," he said with a smile.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

Luna nods quietly. Sure people were nice, just not to her. "A band? That could be fun. I've always wanted to be in a band," she says with a small smile. "Who's the guitarist you were thinking of? Maybe I know him."

[Sirius Black]

"His name is Tristan, I don't know his last name. He's in Hufflepuff with me, we share a dormitory," he said with a smile. "I've only just him, but he seems rather sweet, if a little shy," he said with a laugh, thinking about how adorable Tristan was when he stuttered and blushed.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

"Hm. Don't know him," she said with a shrug. "I'm sure he's nice if he's friends with you though. You seem like a really nice guy, considering you're talking to me and all." She smiled happily, seeing as Rad hadn't made one rude comment so far.

[Sirius Black]

"Huh? Why would I have to be a nice guy to talk to you? I mean, yeah, I guess I am a nice guy, but that just seems like an odd thing to say," he said, rather confused and oblivious.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

Luna shrugs. "You'll learn quickly that I'm not exactly the most likable person. Most people here think I'm...Odd." She shrugs it off. She didn't need a lot of friends. Dean, Hermione, Nikki, and Rose were plenty for her, and now she had Rad. "Looney Lovegood. That's what they call me. Not to my face of course, but I've heard it going around.:

[Sirius Black]

Rad's face falls immediately and he looks at her sadly. "Tell me you're joking! That's awful, why would someone do something like that?!" he said indignantly, frowning at her. "I think you're very likeable. You seem really sweet, Luna. So what if you might be a little weird? I happen to like weird people, given how weird I am myself," he said encouragingly.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

"No, I'm not joking. They think the Quibbler is rubbish, and my dad writes it which doesn't help. It's all true though. Nargles and wrackspurts and such. I don't mind their teasing. I suppose they find it rather fun in a way." Luna smiles sweetly at Rad. "I don't think you're weird at all, but I like you. A lot," she says softly. "

[Sirius Black]

"The Quibbler? I haven't heard of it, what is it?" he asked curiously, his face lighting up at Luna's words. "Aw, thanks, Luna. Well, if it makes you feel any better, I don't care what 'they' think. I like you, and I'd like to be your friend. And if anyone ever makes fun of you in front of me, I won't stand for that kind of thing. You're so sweet, you don't deserve that," he said affectionately.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

Luna's face lit up and she refrained from clinging to Rad like a koala, though she's probably not going to let him leave the tower without giving him a big hug first. "Oh. The Quibbler." She reaches into her bag and pulls out a copy. "It's the tabloid that those spectrespecs came from. It's like the Daily Prophet...Only, the articles are much better. None of that nonsense that Rita Skeeter writes is in there."

[Sirius Black]

"I don't know who Rita Skeeter is, so I'll have to find out for myself. But I'd love to take a look at the Quibbler, if you don't mind," he said with a smile. "But it's getting late, and I should head back to my dormitory now. How about I take a look through this, and talk to you tomorrow?" he said, feeling rather sorry for her, if people were mean to such a sweet little thing.

[Ravenclaw Mod]

Luna grins and hands him the Quibbler. "You can keep that. I have plenty of copies. See you around, Rad," she said brightly as she turned to leave, hesitating before quickly turning around to give Rad a tight hug. She smiles up and him and turns back to the stairs to skip on down them as she makes her way to the Ravenclaw tower.

[Sirius Black]

Caradoc smiles and laughs lightly as she hugs him, hugging her back briefly. He stays a few minutes to look at the stars, then walks down the stairs, pleased with his first day, and all the wonderful people he's met.

[Lucy Weasley]

Fabian is here, looking at the stars. So far, he hasn't really had a very eventful welcome back at Hogwarts, but whatever. He chills out and looks at the stars.

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

Viktor walks up while exploring the grounds. He goes over to the ledge to look at the stars before realizing he's not alone. "Oh. Sorry. Didn't think anyvon else vos up here."

[Lucy Weasley]

Fabian looks over at Viktor and smiles. "Oh, it's fine. I don't like being left alone to think by myself too long, anyways. It gets pretty boring. Have we met? I don't think we have. I'm Fabian Prewett."

[Viktor Krum - Inactive]

Viktor smiles and reaches out to shake Fabian's hand. "No. I'm new this year. A transfer from Durmstrang. Nice to meet you, Fabian. I'm Viktor Krum," he said kindly as he smiled at Fabian. Hogwarts people sure are friendly.

[Lucy Weasley]

The name sounds familiar to Fabian and he raises his eyebrows. "Viktor Krum? Ohh, you're a Quidditch player, aren't you? That's awesome!" He smiles. LIKE, SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THAT SMILE. YOU CANNOT SAY, REGARDLESS OF YOUR OPINION ON JARED PADALECKI, THAT HE HAS A BAD SMILE. LIKE, IT'S FUCKING BLINDING.


And we will now resume with your regularly scheduled programming/posting.

"Although, I suppose it gets annoying with people pointing that out and asking for your autograph and stuff, eh? So, I'll try to save you the trouble by not asking for an autograph. How about... What brings you from Durmstrang to Hogwarts?"
