I'm pritty sure you can join, but Kat would really have to say so. But since she hasn't posted since she made the thread I'm sure you can join.

NO!  I just accedentally closed the window! *cries* Now everything's gone. I'll try to remember though...

Oh, hot pink! XD Awesome!

Ems-

I pulled out my wand and pointed it at myself.

"Adcottidianus." I muttered. Soon, my bulging eyes went back to normal size and the disgusting pink hue left my skin. However, my ears stayed pointed no matter how many spells I tried. I planned to go to Madame Pomfrey. But for the time being, I just covered my ears with my hair.

 Suddenly there was a screeching sound, as the Hogwarts Express pulled into the Hogsmeade station. Once the screeching ended, there was the clamour and racket of hundreds of students sliding open their compartment doors and leaving the train. I quickly joined the swell, levitating my trunk in front of me. Soon, I was out of the claustrophobic mess and in the cool night air. I walked over to a carriage and my cohorts followed. As they stepped into the carriage, I patted one of the Threstrals. My friends looked at me like I was crazy, but didn't say anything. They were used to the invisble-to-them horses and I. I've patted a Threstral every year since my first at Hogwarts. Soon, I got into the carriage and the carriage jogged on towards Hogwarts castle.

That was a bit, er, different than what I originally wrote. Oh well. I hope you guys don't mind me ending the train ride.  

No it's great, I think it's actually better to have a short train ride, that way we don't spend so much time on it! I was part of this HP thread and the train ride lasted 3 whole pages! Wow, I'm really glad we got it over with!

Jay-

We walked off the Hogwarts Express and onto the grounds. "Hagrid!" I called. Hagrid was like my favorite teacher at Hogwarts (can we still pretend that he's the Care of Magical Creatures teacher?) "Jay!" he called in his thick English accent. I ran up and hugged him. It'd been months since I last saw him. "Wha's up 'ith you?" he asked, noticing the disappointment in my eyes. "I haven't even gone into Hogwarts yet and already Snape's given me 3 months of detention!" I sighed. Hagrid ruffled my hair. "Ay, don' let 'im  get ya down! 'es a coward, and a righ' monster if ya ask me, tha' Snape is. So, what got ya in ter trouble?" he asked. "Urgh, that horrid Emianna. She almost hexed a second year, so I gave her a hex of my own. The bug hex." Hagrid laughed hysterically. I grinned. "Wha' colur she turn?" he asked, the last of the giggles dying down. "Hot pink!" This time we both laughed. I saw Emianna glare in my direction, but I paid no attention. "Ah, you Nic' and Jason, you misfits, come down ter ma cabin, and I'll make ye some tea!" Hagrid smiled. My grin slipped off my face. "Nick and Jason aren't coming to Hogwarts anymore, they're getting homeschooled." I frowned. Hagrid looked truly sad. "O'. Well, who'd ye come on 'da train with?" he asked. "Couple a Ravenclaws," I muttered. "Well, I'll tell you wha' this Saturday, come ter ma cabin, bring the Ravenclaws if ye want, and I'll make ya some tea. Tha' sound good ter you?" he asked, that happy smile back on his face. "Sure thing Hagrid!" After quick good-byes I got into a carriage with Cat and Kitty, petting the threstrals on the way. You had to have witnessed death to see them. I witnessed my brother's death, so I could see them. They were amazing. To some people the boney, skeletonlike gray winged animals would look horrid, but to me they were beautiful. I walked into the carriage to a flood of questions from Cat and Kitty about the threstrals, so I told them everything I knew about them. What you'd have to have witnessed to witness them. What they looked like, that they could fly, that they ate raw meat. Etc. "So, if you can see them, who'd you witness die?" Cat asked. "My brother." I said simply. After this the questions stopped, and we continued on in silence. 

I have writer's block right now in HP so I'm just pushing this thread further towards the top so that it won't die because I really like this RP and I really don't want it to die!

Just thought of something! If this is after the Marauders graduated, but before Harry was born... VOLDY IS STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!!! Do you know what this means? It means that Emianna's parents, er dad actually, I rather think of the mother as caring but a push-over, could be a Voldy-supporter. Yes! Then Em's family can be even EVILER! Yay!

Can't see Elizabeth M.'s commento righto nowo. And APC says ordr. Order? Order of the Phoenix? Right. My inner-Ems no likey them. :P

I'm waiting for someone besidse me and Olive to post. Like Kat or ZB. ZB don't forget the third years get to go to Hogsmead. Maybe you could look through previous HPRP's and/or read some out of the books.

YAY my writer's block has been destroyed! (for now ;)

//Catriona//

I twiddled my oatmeal with my spoon. Chatter and laughter filled the Great Hall as I ate my breakfast. Nothing but my homework checklist was going through my mind: Three-scroll paper of the history of cauldrons for Potions, I have to turn a rat into a teacup for Transfigurations, perform 10 charms of choice and take at least one scroll of notes, and plant, and take care of a little animal thing for a week. Oh yeah, and Ravenclaw quidditch tryouts start next week, so I need to practice. And this is only the first week of school! Geez, this is getting out of hand. I mean, we're only 13. We don't have enough energy, I mean, with sleep, and work, and sleep. That's like all we get to do. Really not fair. I felt a hand on my shoulder and nearly jumped out of my skin. "Whooza?" I mumbled. The Hall was empty and my face was threatening to go in my pasta. Kat looked down at me, "Cat, you missed Potions and Charms! Where have you been?!" I jumped up, threw my napkin on the table, grabbed my bag, and raced to make it to Herbology on time. Just what I needed, being late in my first few days of school.

Good for you ZB!

Jay-

I sat next to Cat, who was falling asleep, in Herbology, the day after the train ride. I had detention with Snape that I was thinking about missing, that night. But Gryffindor quidditch tryouts were just before the Ravenclaw ones, so Cat and Kitty said thay'd come and watch me. I shook Cat awake just as Professor Longbottum walked in. (I'm keeping it Neville because I don't remember the one before Neville's name.) "Cat, come on, wake up!" I muttered. "Huh?" she asked sleepily. She noticed the Professor and shot up, falling backwards out of her chair. I rolled my eyes. I was glad that this year the Gryffindors and RAVENCLAWS had all their classes together instead of Gryffindor and Slytherin. I don't think I could stand being in the same room as Emianna. "Cat, get up." The Professor sighed. "Right, sorry sir, just a little tired, that's all," she said, her British accent getting to me. "Well, make sure you stay awake. Rider, you keep her awake," the Professor said, looking at me. "Right, okay sir. Got it." He kinda cringed at me American accent. I sighed. "Come on Cat, we've got to get these pods open." Today's lesson was to get the pods of some randome plant open and to put the juice in a seprate box for Madame Pomfrey. It was gross, and random, but needed. Cat and I spent hours trying to open the pods. It was hopeless. I just stunk at Herbology. I slammed the stupid thing with my knife, but it JUMPED out of the way! "Stupid pod," I muttered. Then a boy walked over. His name was Connor Reese. He had the new Justin Bieber kind of hair, and it was dirty blonde. He was great at qudditich, even though I was better. He had naturally tan skin and a scar next to his right eye. I'm not sure how he got it though. He was also British. "Here." He took my knife. "Try it this way." He smashed it with the flat end of the blade, and it opened right up. "Umm, thanks," I muttered. "No problem." He turned and left. I watched him go. When he was gone Cat started to giggle. "Wow, that was easy." "What?" I asked. "Oh nothing, nothing at all." She began to laugh again, her eyes darting between me and Connor. I glared.

Justin Bieber hair. LOL. XD And Prof. Sprout was the Herbology teacher before Neville.

*sigh* I still have writer's block right now. :( 

//Catriona//

I flew through the classes then literally flew through quidditch practice. "Cat! Watch for the bludger behind you! Got sight on the snitch on the left side," David Lexor called to me from the goals. I blushed and flew towards the left, instantly catching sight of the tiny gold ball. The wind blew in my hair and bugs hit my goggles. I tightened my grip on the broom with my knees and stretched my arms to catch the snitch. "Almost there, almost there." The ball was almost in my palm when a bludger hit the back of my broom and I fell off. I was falling through midair from hundreds of miles in the air. David yelled and the rest of the team swooped down to try and catch me. My body thudded on the ground in what seemed like hours and everything went black.

MANY HOURS LATER

I blinked open my eyes to see the rest of the quidditch team, which was trying out standing around my bed. Madame Pomfrey was standing next to me putting together a concoction that smelled really really gross. "Cat, are you ok?" David asked. I sat up using my elbows and then fell down. "Ungh," I muttered and lay back down. "Look sweetie pie, you suffered quite a fall there. You'll have to stay here for the rest of the week." "What, no! I have tryouts tomorrow! I can't be here, I've gotta make the team!" David took Madame Ponfrey's place. "Look, Cat. You already made the team. You're the Ravenclaw seeker, congrats!" I smiled, glad that there was somethig to look forward to. I sighed and went back to sleep.

Ya the NEW JB hair. I don't like JB, but I do llike his hair. :D He He. Ya, so I 

Jay-

I ran into the hospital wing to see the entire Ravenclaw quidditch team crowding around a bed. "Move aside," I snapped at some guy in 7th year about 4 feet taller than me. I walked up to Cat's bed. "You all right?" I asked. Some of the Ravenclaw team stared at me, having just noticed my American accent. "Ya, I'm fine. I got seeker too!" She was obviously so glad, but I noticed her eyes dart to a boy, I think his name was David, then back to me. "Umm, Cat, when can you be up and running again?" I asked. "Just 2 more days," she muttered. "Great, then you'll be well enough to see me try out on Friday. And come to Hogsmead Saturday." She grinned. "You bet."
The next to days were nothing but boring work. I waited in vain for Cat to get out of the hospital. Finally Friday came and I almost jumped with glee, but I spotted Mrs. Norris and decided not to. The last thing I needed was MORE detention.

AT THE GRYFFINDOR TRYOUTS-

I hopped on my broom. The snitch went up into the air. We waited about 30 seconds before the seekers could go. The object of this tryout was to get the snitch before the other seekers. Just like in a real game, but instead of there being 2, there were 19. Ya, 19. I rushed through the stadium, taking a thorough search. I saw Cat, Kitty, and, wait what? I saw Emianna in the bleachers too! I shook my head. She's trying to make me lose concentration, I thought. I flew faster on my Fire Bolt. The broom was the one thing my parents had agreed on. They wanted me to have the finest broom out there because they were so proud of my quidditch ability. I flew as fast as I could, the wind whipping my hair; out of the corner of my eye I noticed Connor watching me, and I blushed. Not like anyone could see it. I saw a flash of gold and sped up to as fast as possible. I caught the snitch, but, sadly got hit by the goalpost. I was pretty sure my empty arm was broken, but oh well. I flew down and was the first to touch the ground. I gave Jackson Gray, Keeper and Captain, the snitch and clutched my broken arm painfully. Cat and Kitty came down from the bleachers and rushed over. "Two things," Jaskson started. "You made the team as the seeker, and go to Madam Pomfrey." The chosen members of the team clapped me on the back, and Cat and Kitty took me to the hospital wing. The whole time I felt Emianna's eyes on me. I knew she was trying to figure out our strategy, but I didn't care right now.
When we got to the hospital wing, she muttered a curse and instantly my arm was fixed. "You can go now" was the only thing she said to me. Well besidse, 'stupid qwitich players, alway showing off, and getting hurt. 10th one this week!' We laughed about that on our way out.

Ems-

The first thing I learned about non-verbal spells, especially Lejilimens, was that they zapped a lot of energy out of you. (well, for a third-year anyway) 

 The second thing I learned, is that trying to levitate your wand inside your jacket while trying to point it at said victim is almost as hard. Plus, it makes you lose concentration.

 I sighed in exasperation as I gave up after my third attempt at non-verbal leilimency. Father was right. I'm much too young. Maybe I'll try it in fourth-year. 

 I was about to stand up, when I saw Jay reach out to a golden glint in the air. The Snitch. Suddenly, I had an idea.

 Glancing around to make sure no one was looking at me, I quickly whipped out my wand, hiding it as much as possible in my robes, pointed at Jay, and muttered, "Confundo." Soon, I was quietly blessed with the faint sound of a bone breaking. I smiled and stayed seated, hoping for more oppurtunities to perform some rather, interesting, charms.

Jay-

Well two things I knew for sure, I was on the Griffandore team as the seeker, and I'd been confunded. I knew that because at dinner that night Emianna was staring me right in the eyes. Silent laughter filled her wicked glare. I looked down at my cereal. There was no way I could have made that clumsy jolt by myself. I was to good at flying. Emianna had done something, and I knew it. "Um, Jay?" The girl next to me, Ally poked me. Since the Different houses couldn't eat together I sat with Ally and Kate. Two Griffandores also on our quitich team, who were very pasonate about flying."Huh? Oh, ya what?" I asked."Dumbledore's speeking." Ally muttered. I looked up to see Dumbledore allright. Standin' all high and mighty infront of the pedistal. "This year is the year of the Triwizard Tountament (Can we PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do that!!?!?!?!?!?!! I really really really really want to! If not just take out everthing in my post from Um, Jay? To the end.)." I stared at Dumbledore. "Which also means the Yule Ball and the Goblet of Fire. Your house teachers will teach you the proper edicate of the dance, and I will have the Goblet up by the time everyone of the age 13 and up has returned to Hogwarts from their  trip to Hogsmead. And for saftey perposes no one under the age of 15 may enter the contest." I returned to my soup as a riot began. Now it was all boring, nothing to do with me anymore.

(I've had an idea. How about there's one champion from every house, then one from Drumsdang, and Beatoubuxons?)

//Catriona//

Omigosh. Did he really just say Tri-Wiizard Tournment? That was what I was looking forward to since I was four when Jessi was the Ravenclaw champion. In first and second year we weren't allowed to participate in the festiviities, too young, I guess. But in 3rd year we got to watch the tourny, eat the opening feast, and go to the Yule Ball! Kat winked at me and we waited until Dumbledor continued with the speech. "And remember! Only students 15 years and older will be allowed to participate. I expect you all to represent Hogwarts and be welcoming to the coming students from Beauxbottums and Durmstrang. Good luck to all in coming activities and have a good night!" He stepped down from the podium and disappeared into the trophy room. I realized that he was going in the trophy room more often. I wonder why. I'll investigate later, maybe a little spying. Oh, my name could be like, Brown Bear of something. Anyways, chatter started to fill the hall, mainly with the older kids. I yawned. I'll fuss about the tourny later. Quidditch practice wiped me out and I needed to go to bed. I escaped the Great Hall and guess who I ran smack into? David! "Oh, I'm, um, I'm sorry!" we both said at the same time. "Oh, Cat! Well, um, good job in practice today!" I blushed,  hoping it was dark enough so he wouldn't see it. "Thanks, thanks. You too!" "Thanks. So, um, Tri-Wizard Tourny, huh?" "Yeah, I'm super excited." Long pause. Awkward, much?! "Feast. Events. Yule Ball. Fun, huh?" He stretched on the syllables in 'Yule Ball'. "Yeah, totally." Again, awkward! "Soo. You, uh, maybe wanna, like, go with me?" "Yes!" I said, hopefully not too fast, or excited, or awkward. "Great! Well, bye!" "Bye!" He went back into the Great Hall and I did a little happy dance in the same spot, humming as I walked back towards the Ravenclaw common room.
