Interacting with @Opeila Winters

Time surely moved so fast, it was almost the summer holiday, then the firsties becoming second years. The excitement of getting a pet, dying her hair pink, and meeting Naomi made her all giddy and lively. But, there are still a couple more days before she could do all of that and Hogwarts had nothing exciting to offer anymore since there were no quidditch, no exam, no monster fighting, it will be tedious. Aurora spent most of her days either in the Ravenclaw common room or the great hall, just doing her own thing with her sketchbook and her ‘Magic in a nutshell’ book that she planned on giving to the library for any future struggling first years. Her daily routine only includes waking up, take a brisk shower, eat, draw, sleep, and repeat, over and over again.

Maybe it was her boredom struck in, the time between breakfast, lunch, and dinner seemed to slow down these past few days. Because her stomach basically screamed for more food since hours ago, Aurora decided to take her art supplies to the great hall as she waits for the magical dinner feast. She then walked into the destination with her usual big pink fluffy duffle bag, and four huge hairpins on the right side of her head which said ‘Not A First Year’ and looked around for a place to sit.

She was not usually the type to approach someone first, especially not in a place like the great hall where they need to talk in a long period of time, but the sight of a certain familiar face, Opeila Winters, with some jeans and threads spread on the table intrigued the young girl. They were not friends, met her a couple of time before at the quidditch scrimmage and the bathroom, all she knew about her was that she was nice to her, therefore Aurora will return the Slytherin’s kindness. “Hi Ophelia! I- I mean Opeila- No, Winters!” She dropped her bag on the floor and sat across Opeila. “Is this- this seat taken? I could sit somewhere else if you are waiting for someone else, of course.”

Winter had been sitting at the Hufflepuff table when out of the corner of her eye she noticed many... jeans? Splurged on a table with the owner sitting in the center. She had recognized this girl... she has seen her around but never built up the courage to spark a conversation. Winter wondered if now would be a good time to go over and actually talk to her.. and the Ravenclaw student who was presumed to be her friend.

She hadn't wished to bother them but she noticed Opelia struggling with the needle and thread. Did she even know how to sew? Ophelia's shaky hands and confused look stated otherwise. Winter thought hard about it and decided to go on over and ask to help, after all, winter was actually a master at sewing things, she learned from her aunt when she first tore a hole in her favorite pants.

She hadn't wanted to bug the two girls but decided to try for once in her life, try to make friends, and start her own conversation being the first to speak. Winter has quite bad social anxiety that she has been working on, so this is just another step up the line. Practice makes perfect, does it not? The more she tries the better she will be at speaking to others. It would just be very embarrassing if somehow she found a way to mess up... but let's stick to thinking on the positive side

Making her way over she stood beside Opelia, crossing her hands, as they folded over each other multiple times showing how obviously nervous she was. "H-hello...I hate to be a bother but I was wondering if p-perhaps you would like some help with the sewing..?" winter asked in a soft tone. "I-i'm Winter... Winter Wolfhartz it is a pleasure to m-meet you.." she stuttered, still a bit scared of starting a conversation on her own. The two seemed nice so perhaps she could just make new friends. But for now, she could only hope everything goes well.

Selina saw 3 people sitting together and wondered if she could join them. Nervously she walked over to them and stood by them.

"Umm is this um seat taken?" she asked terrified on what their response would be.
"Selina by the way, Selina Pendrast-Knight," Selina said confidently "Who are you?".

Not knowing if the seat was taken she didn't sit down as she didn't want the girls to shout at her, Selina thought for a moment that they hadn't even heard her as Selina usually spoke quietly. Selina pulled her jeans up and saw that the girls were also wearing jeans.
Selina thought she'd go for a cool but casual look for them but didn't know if what she was wearing was wrong, she usually worried about her outfit mainly because she was used to wearing more fancy outfit then this casual look.

"Is this seat taken?" Selina repeated and waited for their reply Selina knew they had heard her because she had spoken more loudly and confidently than she had earlier.

"Who are you?" asked Selina looking at each of the girls a little bit impatiently because they hadn't answered yet but Selina was patient.

Opeila did not stay on her own for long, she had not even quite decided where to start, when a girl sat down across her and asked if the seat was taken. The Slytherin chuckled a little when the girl struggled with her name. That always happened quite a lot to her, the perks of having a unique- or weird if one wanted to put it that way- name. "You can call me Opeila if you like. Yes, you can sit here, don't worry, I wasn't waiting for anyone. In fact, feel free to join me, I'm not sure what to do with all of these. How have you been, I didn't see you in a while... Aurora!" Thank god the name came to her before the little pause could get embarassing. Last time she had seen her at the Quidditch Scrimmage that two fourth years had organized, in the abandoned bathroom before that. They had also been assigned as quill pals a few months ago.

"Do you know how to sew? Because I honestly have no idea how to do anything, I will probably just be experimenting..." Opeila paused when another girl joined them, one who the Slytherin did not know. Her face lightened up when she offered her help with sewing. "You know how to- Oh, please, sit down and save my life. Or my jeans' rather. I haven't started yet though, I'm still thinking... Maybe I'll try to make a bag or something.", she smiled at the girl, who introduced herself as Winter. "Nice to meet you, Winter, I am Opeila."

It seemed that a group functioned like a magnet in the hall, soon another girl walked over and asked if she could sit with them- twice. Altogether she looked rather terrified, Opeila noticed. "Come, sit with us." With a friendly smile she beckoned the girl- Selina- to take a seat. "I am Opeila. If you want you can also sew something out of that.", the Slytherin offered and gestured at the pile of fabric on the table. Considering that Selina wore jeans, different from Opeila who was wearing a black skirt, Opeila thought she could be interested.

Just a little reminder about godmodding Please ask the other player rather than assume things that have not been made clear in posts.

Interacting with @Opeila Winters, @Winter Wolfhartz, @Selina Pendrast-Knight

People change every day for the better or worse, including Aurora. The person who hated company, the one who rarely smiles and only either glare or sigh had been thrown out of the window, pushed from the precipice, out of sight. And there she was, sat down in a great hall not by herself, looking thirty percent friendlier than she ever was. Comparing her previous muggle school to the life in Hogwarts was like a dull crumpled piece of paper and a bar of chocolate on top of a paper, perhaps even better. Those did not include the shadow spider and other peculiar things although they were also taking part in the bonding session between Aurora and her fellow eagles. Glancing up to Opeila as her hand dug through the contents of her bag, looking for her sketchbook and some stationaries “Ah yes, I was quite busy with the ball thing, and with quidditch-“ Flushed in embarrassment, it was the Slytherin they were lost against to, not that it came out of nowhere since all of them were flying on those expensive brooms. The volume of her voice gradually became smaller, “-the Ravenclaw lost in less than five minutes.”

While doing any social interaction was not really her talent, she has immense love for anything art and craft related, whether it was painting, making some collages, or sewing. She did sew before at the campground bonfire that was held somewhere around February or march by the keeper of the grounds. Although it was not a masterpiece, not even close, the moss dress was wearable despite the itchiness and the uncountable times the needles pricked her fingers. “I think I can” Maybe it was a Hogwarts thing, because she could swear something like this never happened in the muggle world, or at least with her. When a person did something particularly interesting, random people just start approaching like a candy on the ground with an army of ants. A rather unfamiliar voice came out of nowhere startling the brunette Ravenclaw, slightly jumped on the bench almost dropping the bag with too much stuff inside. She did an abrupt sound of a sharply drawn breath followed by an exclamation and an attempt to play it cool. “AH YOU SCA- T IS SO CUTE-“ Aurora cleared her throat, “your cat is so cute, and Hi Winter!” Turning her head to face the blonde girl, “-definitely did not think that you were a ghost, I’m Aurora Ranvier.” After a long time of searching for the sketchbook, finally, her hand got a hold of the book and put it on the table.

A bag from jeans material would be cute, but she didn't think those jeans that Opeila brought were enough for three people, if everyone is making the same thing. Plus, there may be some errors which mean, more materials to use. Not much time wasted for the young eagle to think of something to make. For the last couple of months, Aurora really wanted to make a handcrafted gift for someone she rather fancy. No, perhaps it was just a feeling of adoration. The only thing that she knew the guy like was cats, he did say it once a while back. It would be a good idea to make him something in a cat shape out of jeans. Then another girl decided to interrupt her deep in thought moment, this time, somewhat familiar. Giving the girl with a white sweater a smile, but didn’t answer the question as it was less important than the one that was on her mind.

“I think I will make a little gift for Peri-“ Silently cursed at herself for leaking the secret that she will bury in her grave, or almost, if Opeila and the others would let it slide. Not sure about the others, but the Slytherin might know the real Peri that she was talking about, both of them are in the duelling team and a second year. Aurora was in need of the greatest miracle that ever existed, decided to create an impostor Peri “-Perilia, my uh, my muggle friend” Closing her eyes, then sighed, her entire face was even redder than before, as red as Gryffindor

Winter smiled as Opelia had greeted her, and in such a nice tone of voice too. She let out a small laugh when told to save Opelias life, perhaps she could help teach the other to sew? Afterall it is a useful thing when ypu think about it."Haha a-alrighty.. well uhm do you maybe have any other ideas, ya know besides a bag?" winter asked as she picked up a light baby blue, pair of jeans, perfect for a stylish bag! She looked over at the other girl that had introduced herself as Aurora. It was a quite pretty name, like the Aurora Bordialus it interested winter. She had obviously gotten a tad startled seeing as her voice raised out of nowhere and got a bit pitchy, but of all honesty that was an amazing cover up she pulled.

Winter laughed "pfft- me, a ghost? Thats funny, well its nice to meet you Aurora" she said in response, as she scanned the table of supplies. She had been planning out a bag to make for Opelia and she wanted to make it nothing less of perfection. All she needed was a few supplies and a bit of time to make a fantastic jean bag. New friends to be? Hopefully!

Opeila paused to look at Aurora, when the Ravenclaw told her she had been busy with Quiddutch training and that they had lost the game within five minutes. The second year did know that, as it was her own house that had celebrated that day. Aurora seemed rather embarassed about it.

"You know, I lost my first two duels. In the second one, I was knocked out by spells I don't even know. That Gryffindor boy could also split up his spells to hit two people at once.", she let the Ravenclaw know. "I assume it is the same if the opponents have better brooms. I'm sure it is not because you are a bad player, just give yourself time to get better at it." As had Opeila, resulting in her and Adonis winning their final duel, a great triumph for the young teen.

Aurora answered the Slytherin's question, telling her she was going to make something for Peri. Perilia that was, Opeila didn't quite understand the younger girl's blushing. "Perilia... I don't know that name, is she in your year?" She chuckled. "I first thought you meant Pericles, he goes by that nickname too. He's also in your house, a prefect. Do you know him? He is my cousin.", Opeila told her, smiling.

She was grateful that Winter decided to join them, maybe not all of her clothes would get ruined in the end then. "Erm... I was thinking a jacket maybe? I actually didn't think that much about it. Do you have any ideas what you want to make?"

Selina, who could not sew was just as welcome to the second year. "I like that, come take that challenge!", she encouraged the younger girl, who apparently liked her name. "Thanks, yours is pretty too! I was going to try and make a bag."

Mentioning Pericles

Interacting with @Opeila Winters, @Winter Wolfhartz, @Selina Knight

Cousin. Opeila and Pericles are cousins. She had to announce her admiration towards the Ravenclaw prefect in the middle of the great hall, in front of three people that probably familiar with the person. So the girl who almost die in embarrassment did what an eleven year old kid would do. Laugh in awkwardness and talk very loud in order to undo whatever confession she just put out there. “PERICLES? WHO?” Said Aurora, ferociously, then she cleared her throat. “Pericles who? I know no one with that name! I mean, how would I know!” The muscle on her body turned stiff, as if someone cast the hardening spell on her, becoming a stone like the folklore of a corrupt son after disrespecting his mother with derogatory words. Chuckle, giggle, then a snort could be heard echoing through the hall, but the lies shall continue. “What a coincidence! I-it’s my muggle friend! P-Perilia W-water-waterbottle” That by itself was a terrible fabrication of information. Knowing how Aurora usually roll with her superior fraudulent skill, she would continue babbling more nonsense.“T-the Waterbottles are very close with the Thermoses! U-uh, I also have a friend named Sta-stainless, I mean, Stainley Th-Thermos” Even the most oblivious person on earth would not buy that.

With a sheepish smile, eyes gazing from Opeila, Selina, and Winter, then back to Opeila, trying to read their expression whether or not her beautiful Perilia explanation was believable enough. But she felt like her life was on the line. Way too much hot tea spilled on the table, she could not risk it. “I think we need more jeans! So I will give you all more jeans!” Swiftly grabbed a big scissor from her bag and cut her own pants that she was wearing mid thigh. Aurora could definitely hear the wrath of her mother from a distance if she knew what her daughter was doing to her clothes. But if that would make everyone stop talking about her fondness for the white haired boy, no one could stop her action.
