Friends From Places FINISHED

"That sounds very nice." Lizzie stated and smiled, "I normally can't get into the common room. I don't know how to solve the riddles but once you get inside it's really cool. Blue and bronze. It can get cold at times because the older years leave the windows open."

Lizzie perked up at the mention of instruments and got ready to tell them all of what she was learning, "I play Guitar, Piano and Voice. I want to learn the drums and maybe the recorder." Lizzie giggled and thought Why do I want to the the recorder?. She took another bite of her apple and rubbed her eyes from the sleep that was in it.

"I wish I would speak a different language. The only language you could say i can speak it Music. I know how to read music sheets." She said and then quietened down as she wanted to let other people have a say to. She looked over to Blake and smiled. This defiantly would be a friendship group that would last a while. Lizzie finished off her apple and placed it down on the table where it disappeared. Woah that's so cool She thought.

Lizzie had decided then and there nothing would make this band of merry people split up even if some snobby know-it-all Gryffindor called her a stalker. What a bad mistake. Lizzie laughed to herself and picked up once again another apple.

Cassie looked at the table they were seated. Two Ravenclaw's and two Slytherin. It's more than enough for them. It's not like Cassie hated the other two houses, it just maybe because their mom was a Ravenclaw and their father was Slytherin, just like a mind set thing they just setted on a few years back before attend Hogwarts that Ravenclaw and Slytherin were and are a good matches.

The eagle house and the serpent house balance each other out. Whereas in Ravenclaw, the people that belong on that house often time recognised as diligent and smart, and for the students that are in Slytherin house, the ambition and cunning side always come out. Cassie thought if those four trait were combine, it could be a lethal combination.

Then Blake asked how the Slytherin common room looks like. Adohiro describe the general decorations of Slytherin common room. "But some of the area were black though"Cassie added regarding the color that Adohiro mentioned earlier. "I think it nice. The black, green and silver balance each other out. It added the mystery to the room itself"Cassie stated.

Lizzie told the group she can't get into her own common room because she do not know how to solve the riddle and something about the older years often time left the window open so the room sometimes got cold. "Wait! If you can't get in into your own house, do you wait for someone to solve the riddle? What if there's no one around and you need to grab something from your dorm?"Cassie inquires. Adohiro then ask Blake, Cassie and Lizzie whether the three of them play any instrument.

Adohiro told he can play Zither, Guqin and some others instruments. He briefly explained what is Zither and Guquin to the group. He also asked what language Cassie can speak other than her own native tongue. At the mentioned of instrument Lizzie spoke up. The blonde girl told that she can play guitar, piano and voice. She also said she will be interested learning how to play drum and recorder.

"I'm almost the same like you, Liz. Can I called you that? I feel like we become friends"Cassie said. "And for the life of me I don't have the patient to read sheet music. I know the basic how to do it but sheet music sometimes get the best of me"Cassie added. "Regarding language I can speak, I speak a bit French because several years before attended here I did some sort student exchange program. Germany, I learn it because that time I'm bored and it is something I like to do which is learning new language and Spanish which is my mom native tongue"Cassie explained to the other three.

Cassie almost told their new friends that they are Parseltounge but Cassie remembered their dad once told them never told anyone else beside their family about that particular set of skill.

"I can speak Chinese, both Mandarin and Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, English, and French." Adohiro would tell his new group of friends. He had a few other friend circles but some of them did not have many friends to hang out with. Luckily Adohiro had a nice circle of friends like now and he would begin to think of what else to talk about. He certainly was bad at keeping a conversation going and he certainly did not want to tie people down with his questions. It also seemed like most of his questions were related to academic stuff, he had attended a private muggle school as a kid despite being pure blood. Adohiro felt like that was a feat to brag about since most pure bloods could not account for it, of course, his family was rich enough to provide a private tutor but that would be no fun with zero interactions to people of his own age. He did miss a few of his Muggle friends he had to leave, but at least he could show off his magic secretly to them when he would visit South Korea again. He would just need to wait for the next break to come back home. "Where is everyone from?"

@Cassandra Ironwoods @Blake Bayne @Lizzie Verdine

Lizzie (finally) realized this was the group of friends that she would be staying with for the next seven years. It really was an accomplishment. Her mother hadn't found her friends until 4th year and her father 5th year. She was lucky obviously.

"I think it's cool you can speak different languages. That will help you get jobs when your older. I mean what job can I get when I tell them I can read music." Lizzie laughed and covered her smile. Sometimes it was just a habit since she was always taught to laugh with her hand over her mouth. "I'm from London. Just London. Pretty boring really."

London was boring to her. She would have much rather grow up in Lancashire where her ancestors grew up. It was a lovely place. It also wasn't as busy. Her mother and father were thinking about moving up there after Lizzie had pestered them so much about it.

"Cassie, you can call me Liz. Hey do you like making trouble and playing pranks?" Lizzie questioned to everyone. It was one of her main interests. Getting into trouble made her feel different from her house (the house of 'nerds'). I mean who would think it would be a Ravenclaw? They may be intelligent but that doesn't mean they can't have fun everynow and then.

Lizzie finished eating her second apple and poured herself a drink of Pumpkin juice. She had finally woken up properly and many other students had started to come into the Great Hall. Some Professors had started to hand out schedules. Lizzie leaned onto the table and rested her head on her palm and thought I really hope that Gryffindor is sweating in her robes because she really didn't get on my good side. Lizzie laughed and took a sip of her drink.

When Adohiro mentioned all the languages he abled, Cassie eyebrows shoot up. "But isn't the root are the same? I mean for Mandarin and Cantonese, Japanese and Korean, except French of course"Cassie stated. "Don't you get confused from time to time?"Continued Cassie. Cassie think when they can speak other language than English were an accomplishment for them but after they heard Adohiro, Cassie feel inept regarding to language department.

Cassie being the only child in the Ironwoods household, had to endure her first 10 years of being homeschooled and there's a reason for that. Sure their parents are wealthy enough but their mom and their dad because of their parents line of jobs, didn't have the time to enrolled Cassie to either muggle private or public school. Their dad being born and bred as a pureblood didn't believe the system of muggle school will bring out Cassie full potentials.

Adohiro asked where is everyone from. Lizzie was the first one said that she was from London and Lizzie also stated her opinion about different language and the good used of it to get jobs in the future. "I'm from Oxford"Cassie answered. Lizzie also allowed Cassie to called her Liz, since often time Cassie too lazy to call people with their full nickname. Lizzie asked the group whether every one like to making trouble and playing pranks.

"I'm down if you are. What do you have in mind?"Cassie asks to Lizzie then smirking. Time to get my mischief on, Cassie stated. They smiled knowingly.

Blake's eyebrows shot up after hearing all the many languages his newfound friends could speak and he settled deeply into his seat.

"My Nan tried ta teach me Gaelic as a lad but I never got the hang of it. I can read French and write it bu I canno speak it without causing someone ta giggle," He piped up from his seat, eyeing the door-way for some sign of his sister so he could prove to her he had made friends. Although she had only been teasing when she told him on the train that he would have to wait to find his friends, he had taken that comment to heart with determination to prove her wrong.

Hearing all of his companions talking about their respective homes made him suddenly grateful that he hadn't had to travel so far.
"I'm from Melrose here in Scotland. Its a small town ya probably haven't heard of but it's part of a bunch of small wizarding communities,"Blake explained, repeating word-for-word what his Da had told him when Blake had asked about their hometown.
"Aye we're originally from Aberdeen bu dont ya go round tellin yer friends that," Da had cautioned him firmly directly after, the two sitting around their dining room table reviewing Blake's muggle homework. He had never asked why, surprisingly, because of the serious tone in his Da's voice.

The conversation drifted to the topic of pranks and Blake zoned out slightly. He had only ever pulled off pranks with his Muggle friends in their classroom back in Melrose. They had taken a hot-glue-gun and glued a girl's waterbottle to her desk while everyone was on break. They'd be found out when the glue-gun in question was found in one of the lad's desks and the four of them had been hauled off to see the Dean. Blake had gotten off with a warning since he had never gotten caught before, he was always the lookout and had the most time to get away. This time he had been the one actually doing the gluing but luckily he hadn't been hiding the tool.

"A little mischief wouldn't hurt. Think of the cool place's you'd go, sounds like a mighty great adventure,"Blake reasoned with himself, tuning back in to hear the plans of the group as he convinced himself that Wizard pranks would be far better then Muggle pranks.

The Ravenclaw pulled a bobble off pf her right wrist and started to tie her hair up. She struggled for a bit until finally finishing. The finished product wasn't what Lizzie really wanted but it was just right so she could actually eat without getting foo in her face.

"I'm hopeless at learning anything that is not in English." Lizzie finished her pumpkin juice and continued, "We should make a name for ourselves. Something like the Marauders did back then."

Lizzie was grinning. They did need a name if it was going to be a friendship that lasted for the next seven years. It would be pretty boring to just call it the main/friend group. Lizzie never liked boring. It wasn't in her vocabulary and she was very passionate about making everything as exciting as possible.

"Hey, Cassie. We should so make some dungbombs go off in the corridors. Get back at some Gryffindors maybe?" Lizzie grinned and poured herself some cereal since many more students had started to join the group in the Great Hall. She picked up her spoon and started to eat it.

I can't wait until my brothers, Johnathon and Joseph come up next year. She shut her mouth and waited for the others to reply about her suggestions.

My writing has really not been working with me for the last few days. Normally I get to 500 words a post :o. We also do need a name because of reasons that will be explained soon.
@Cassandra Ironwoods @Adohiro Moira @Blake Bayne

Cassie was listening what Blake said about Gaelic and about the little French language that he can do. "Wait! Gaelic? Is that something similar like Latin? I am afraid I am not familiar with those or maybe my parents mentioned it once but I just heard it partly"Cassie said to Blake then shrugged. Blake also tell the group that he was from Melrose which according to him was part of a bunch of small wizarding communities, Cassie again never heard of that place Blake mentioned it.

Blake stated that a little mischief would not hurt, that part make Cassie eyebrows rose. Cassie did not think Blake have that tendency. Meanwhile, Lizzie told the group the only language she could speak is English. She also said something about naming the group like the Marauders did back then. Cassie pay details to the friendship bond that arise between them and the Eagles. It is a miracle, really. Since Cassie is not a person that easily open up to others.

Their mom met and had her best friend right away on the train when on the way to the school. Her dad well, as they knew was popular even before the train ride. Maybe it is because his is a charming boy back than and still is also he is friendly towards everyone that he know or will know, Cassie thought. Then Lizzie ask Cassie about making dungbombs in the corridors to get back at some Gryffindors, with this Cassie smile broadly.

"Umm.. I know this is a little bit weird but since we are friends and all, can both of you when addressing to me use they / them pronouns? I just a bit uncomfortable when people use the wrong pronouns when they interacts with me. I know it's confusing at first but both of you will get used to it in no time"Cassie requested then smile.

"Do I need to know whose this poor souls are?"Cassie inquires about the dungbombs the three of them may or may not make but then, "You know what, forget I ever said that. Let's make our name be known to the whole school"Cassie laugh a little and their eyes glimmering with mischief.

@Lizzie Verdine | @Blake Bayne

Message received Cassie! Hope everything works out

"I'm not sure bout tha relation between Latin an Gaelic bu I do know it was bloody hard," he chuckled slightly, the hall becoming more alive around him. The idea of dung-balls made Blake's nose wrinkle but then, that was the whole point of dung-balls really.

"I say we jus throw em at the hallway they all go down ta get to their common room. Then they'd all come out smellin horrible n everyone would know it's them,"Blake offered with a grin as three or four Gryffindor's drifted in, their red-lined robes vibrant and fresh. He had nothing against the red-clad students himself, but part of being a good friend is being vengeful on behalf of your friends and he hadn't agreed with what they'd done to Lizzie.

He liked the idea of a name, a formally way to bind them all together. It made him feel as if he was really a part of something, something important that he was excited about.
"Is this what it's like ta really make friends?"he paused to wonder, comparing his Muggle friendships with these new-found companions and a cheeky grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Yeah. I think so," he decided firmly. He no longer felt like he was holding back the way he had in Melrose out of fear of his magic coming out. He was finally free to be who he genuinely was around his friends and he savored the feeling.

I apologize for it being so short, longer responses are coming I just wanted to post something
@Lizzie Verdine @Cassandra Ironwoods

Lizzie continued to shovel the cereal into her mouth while humming 'Killer Queen'. It was a shortened version of just the first verse and the chorus. Lizzie was know for forgetting lyrics but when the music turns on the lyrics come flooding back to her.

"Cassie, I'll asure you that it is fine. I'll call you they/them. It may take a while." Lizzie laughed and looked down at her cereal. She had become full and no longer wanted to continue eating.

"I think that is a good idea, Blake." She said placing the spoon down in her bowl. There was still some milk left over with a few stray pieces of cereal here and there. A really good idea Blake is defiantly the thinker in the group. Lizzie thought and nodded her head to herself a bit.

"We should hang around a bit after throwing them and pretend to be a victim to. I want to see their faces." Lizzie chuckled and pulled out the parchment she was scribbling on before. It contained the ingredients to make a home-made bomb since the Ravenclaw could not go to Hogsmede.

Lizzie smiled and placed the parchment on the table. She turned it around so the words were upside down to her, "These aren't as good as the ones from Hogsmede but they will have to do. I'm going to ask my brothers to send me a supply for the rest of the year. Not that much. Maybe just twenty. One for each week.

As you can see there is a lot of stuff you normally can't just find lying around. See here. You need mud from a lake. It's not really for the stink. More for the sticking it together." Lizzie pointed out many different things that were going to be needed. I really hope this works and does not make me look stupid.

Once again I am changing the Speach colour. It's because I'm trying to find one that fits Lizzie. At the moment I really like this one. So I am probs staying with this one. Color code = #8080BF
