Re: The Stone Steps

[Arthur Weasley]

"I had a lot of fun too," Arthur says with a smile. "And we should definitely have Ted teach us some moves, considering this is his area of expertise. And we should definitely get together and watch a Muggle movie. And buy me non-orange shirts." Arthur takes a deep breath before giving Molly a hug good-bye. After a few seconds, he gently releases her before giving the Fat Lady the password and opening the portrait hole for her. Then he nervously scampers up to his dorm, where he jumps up and down excitedly for several minutes.

[Molly Prewett]

"Totally sounds like a plan," Molly says, greaming and stepping through the portrait hole as Arthur holds the portrait open for her. "I'll see you around, Arthur," she says, strutting off up to her room and feeling somewhat happier than she has in a little while. Meanwhile, Mya dies at the adorableness of Arthur.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

Kras is just sitting here...chilling. Yep yep. Snez, his pretty white fluffy cat, is wandering about around the steps, occasionally batting at something in the grass with a paw. It's very quiet at the moment and peaceful.

[Jenna Wood]

Jenna was wandering around the castle and was just near the stone steps when she saw a snow white cat wandering around. She bent down to scoop it up and went outside to try and find someone who must have been missing it.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

Snez meows in confusion when she's suddenly picked up by a random stranger...but then she decides the random stranger is pretty and just settles down for the ride.

Kras looks about at one point and notices his cat is out of view. Panicking slightly, he looks even more and spots a girl off near the top of the steps holding his cat. He gets up and hops up the steps to join her, still not caring, as usual, how silly it might look for a 6'1'' tall guy to be hopping up a set of steps. "Er, hello. Not to be rude or anything, but that's my cat you're holding."

[Reed Dawson]

[Hehe, this is too cute! Reed is grinning like a loon.]

[Jenna Wood]

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was coming down to the grounds and I saw her walking around and decided to try and find who she belongs to. I'm no catnapper." Jenna blushed slightly (the situation was awkward, okay?) "My name's Jenna, what's yours?" Jenna extended her hand for a handshake.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

"It's okay." Kras grins. "No need to apologize, I vos just being careful. You can keep holding her if you'd like, Snez seems to like you." He takes Jenna's hand and softly kisses it, being the usual gentleman that he tried to be. "It's nice to meet you, Jenna. My name's Krasimir, but you can call me Kras if you vant to."

[Jenna Wood]

Jenna placed Snez down gently on the steps and looked up at the insanely tall person before her. "Did you say your name was Kras? My friend Reed mentioned you." Kras seemed very nice so far and, from his scarf, he was a Hufflepuff as well. She no one had ever kissed her hand while she was going in for a handshake before but, she shook it off and continued on with the convorsation.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

Kras' eyes lit up immediately when Jenna mentioned Reed. "You've met Reed?" His hands flailed a tiny bit as his face went slightly red. He couldn't help the happy feeling he got whenever he heard that Reed had been talking about him. "That boy is just the best! You're in Hufflepuff too then." he comments, noting her uniform. "Did you just start here? I'm sure I haven't seen you around before."

[Jenna Wood]

"Yeah to both things. I just transferred here from Beaubatons even though I'm not French. And, I met Reed the other day in the common room. He's really quite nice, most people don't really speak to a quiet, shy new kid who obsesses over a sport like it's her best friend." Jenna realized once she was finished that she may have said a bit too much for having just met someone. It's not like I can exactly take it back Jenna thought, and decided to just let it go where it will.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

"Oh, you vent to Beauxbaton Academy? I've heard that's a nice school, although some of the girls can be a bit...er, snobby?" He shrugs. "You're not like that, I can tell. I transferred here earlier in the year from Durmstrang, myself. Everyvon is really nice here. You'll have nothing to vorry about ven it comes to making friends. Vot sport do you obsess over?" he asks, sounding genuinely interested. "I'm not the best at sports, but, see, I really like making friends - it's like...a huge hobby of mine, because I love meeting people - and that also means learning as much about my friends as possible. Vell, as much as they'd like to tell me, I don't pressure people into telling me their whole life story of course. That'd be rude of me. Just votever is interesting about them and votever they'd like to share about themselves. This vay ve can become even better friends."

[Jenna Wood]

"The girls at Beau were all really snooty and nasty, that's why I left. I just can't believe I didn't think of transferring before, it would have made my life so much easier. And as for the sport, I play lots but, Quidditch is my life. Without Quidditch, I would have nothing to occupy my time, and my entire family gets really into it so I was trained since I could sit on a broom without falling off." Kras seemed sweet, she could see why Reed liked him so much. "Maybe I'll tell you my life story another day, it seems a bit intense for having just met someone, you know?"

[Krasimir Svetkova]

"Vell, you'll like it a lot more here. The main people you'll have to vorry about are the Slytherins. Except for a couple...I know a few who are really nice and generally von't pick on other students just to be rude." Kras frowns at that, because he really doesn't like it when people pick on others. "I've never played Quidditch, you must be really really good at it if you've been playing it for such a long time." Kras smiled, quite impressed. "And yeah, I guess you're right. Since ve just met and all." he chuckled, watching as his cat bounded on down the steps to go chase a few butterflies. "Vonce ve've become better friends maybe ve can swap stories sometime."

[Jenna Wood]

"I heard there are a few nice Slytherins from Reed but I'll believe it when I see it. I don't know if I'm an amazing Quidditch player because of the whole 'you are your own worst critic' thing but I made the team so I can't be half bad. Maybe you should come to a match and judge my skills for yourself. And don't worry that you don't know much about Qudditch. Contrary to popular belief, I can have a discussion about something else." Jenna smiled as she watched Snez go after a pretty purple butterfly, the cat was completely absorbed, and didn't notice anything besides the butterfly as she lowered herself in preparation to pounce.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

"Hm, vell, if you meet anyvon from Slytherin who goes by the name Tracey Davis, Al Potter, or Scorpius Malfoy, then you'll be okay. Those three are all really nice. Though Tracey's a little...er, vell, sometimes it's difficult to figure out vot she's talking about." Kras shrugs, not really sure how else to put it at the moment. And other than that- OH NO YOU DON'T, SNEZHANA SVETKOVA." Kras had caught sight of his cat about to pounce on a really pretty purple butterfly. "YOU TAKE ONE MORE STEP TOWARDS THAT BUTTERFLY, OR HARM IT IN ANY VAY, AND YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO THOSE FANCY CAT TREATS FOR A MONTH." Snez's head turns at that and she gives Kras a shocked 'omg you wouldn't' look. "Oh don't think I von't. Step avay from the butterfly. NOW." The cat gives the butterfly a longing look but complies to Kras' command and slinks off in a different direction to go sulk at the bottom step. "Er, sorry about that," he turns back to Jenna, "anyvay, vhere vos I?" he thinks for a moment. "Oh! So I vould love to come vatch a Quidditch match then. I'll cheer loudly for you from the stands. Yep yep."

[Jenna Wood]

"Wow, you are a bit strict with your cat. And what's even harder to believe is that she actually listened to you! Cats never listen to me!" Jenna was thrown a bit off kilter by that little yelling bit but, it seemed as if Kras had gone back to normal by now and Jenna just silently hoped he wouldn't get mad at her anytime in the near future. She didn't think that being on the other end of his anger seemed like a desirable place to be.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

"Er...normally I let her do votever she'd like I just...have a soft spot for insects. Especially bumblebees." He flails, happy just thinking about them. "I LOVE bumblebees. So so so so much! I am sorry for yelling though." he apologizes. "I didn't mean to startle you. I don't normally yell. Conflict, fighting and arguing in general, is such a sad thing. I much prefer peaceful and happy things."

[Molly Prewett]

[Hehe, this is too cute! Reed is grinning like a loon.]

[Inner!Molly is squealing at how adorable this is!!! XD]

[Jenna Wood]

"I'm not the biggest fan of bumblebees but I always loved ladybugs, they just always seemed so perfect and innocent. I agree, fighting and conflict aren't good but, that doesn't mean you shouldn't defend yourself, should someone prove to be particularly nasty. Something that I've noticed is very underrated is coming to a compromise, or consensus. People seemed to have completely ruled that option out, preferring to fight instead. It's actually quite pathetic if you ask me."

[Krasimir Svetkova]

[*flails* Kras is quite happy with his new friend. x3]

"Ladybugs??? ooooooh, now I have a vonderful idea." He grins happily. There was something he had spotted in Hogsmeade a while ago that would be a perfect welcome present for Jenna. "But it's a surprise, so you'll have to vait and see! And I agree vith you totally on that; it's just too veird and pathetic that people vould rather fight and resort to violence or insults than talk things out. I suppose it's hard to see that option ven you're really really angry at first, but if you're not careful then you might say or do something that you'll regret later on."

[Jenna Wood]

[I have to go down to dinner but I'll be back later]

"Should this idea scare me, or should I be excited?" Jenna smiled and laughed, she was glad she ran into Kras. He was easy to talk to and so far, was one of the nicest people she knew. Plus, the kitty seemed to be providing nonstop entertainment (at least for Jenna) and what could go wrong? It was a beautiful day and she had made a new friend. Life seemed pretty good to Jenna right about now.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

[Okies!!! I'm going to have to leave at some point for dinner and picking up my car, but I shall hopefully return. If not, I'll definitely be on a bit tomorrow aaaaaand it'll be a weekend and I'm always on really late on weekends.]

"Oh, I vould say excited." Kras grinned. He hoped she'd like the surprise. Surprises were, like, the best thing EVER. At least Kras thought so anyway. Snez seemed to be over her sulk-fest and bounded up the steps to wound about Jenna's legs, meowing softly. She was still ignoring Kras for a bit though.

[Jenna Wood]

[I'm back!]

Jenna smiled at her new friend, "I'm not sure weather I like surprises or not, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't." She informed Kras as she reached down to pet Snez as she wound around her feet and scratched her behind the ear like she knew most cats loved. Snez began to purr and Jenna smiled down at the little fluffy white creature.

[Krasimir Svetkova]

[Sorry, I had to go rescue my car from work...long story, but nothing too exciting. XD I have to head off to sleep now though because I am very tired and work at 7am tomorrow. Blehhhh. haha]

"I understand completely." Kras smiled in return, watching as she reached down to scratch behind Snez's ears. "Sometimes surprise just...aren't good." he frowns. "But other times surprises are really really good! You'll like this von. Unless...you don't vear jewelry. Then I'm screwed." he laughed.
