𝓦hile her father regularly espoused the virtues of "early to bed, early to rise", Bex personally preached the good gospel of "never to bed, uh-oh! in the morning." As such, it was actually somewhat of a miracle that she was up as early as she was on a Saturday, a circumstance born entirely out of necessity. Past-Bex had chosen brooms, duels, and ballroom dancing over studying, and now present-Bex was forced to suffer the consequences of her own very fun actions. Present-Bex hoped that past-Bex choked and took all present and future Bexes (Bexi?) down with her.

She'd been awake maybe twenty minutes max, and had stumbled messy-haired and bleary-eyed down to the Great Hall to grab an apple before high-tailing back to her dorms to study in the inviting luxury of her dorm bed and fuzzy pajamas. If one had to spend their Saturday studying like some sort of Ravenclaw nerd (not accepting comments at this time), then undoubtedly it should be done as cozily as possible. Maybe in a couple of hours she should get some tea-

Something slams into Bex with the force of a bludger, and for one delirious moment she is certain she must be at Quidditch practice and immediately begins to assume falling position. Only, she's already on the ground? She blinks the stars out of her eyes before looking around to see what hit her and it's... a dragon? Is she dead? Does the devil look like this?

"Hello???" She asks the dragon, hoping that maybe it at least knows what's going on here. A few metres away lays the bruised and miserable corpse of her apple, now covered in the shoe-based detritus of generations of Hogwarts students. "My apple..." She said sadly. Gone, but never forgotten.

OOC Notes: Permission to godmod granted by Raizel. Raizel and I have a running joke that Raizel doesn't know Bex's name, so please don't say it in front of her if you join the thread!

Seeing through the eyes of this suit was difficult. It was surprising Raizel how she hasn't fallen down any stairs yet but she can bet that will happen soon. She broke into a sprint but with no exact direction to go but the grounds of Hogwarts were looking kind of great right now to test out the insulating properties of this suit. Will it save her from the harsh cold weather? That she wants to know.

As she went on her way through the corridors, she had failed to notice a certain Ravenclaw student crossing her paths. "Woah!" She couldn't stop herself in time, her momentum being too fast for her to do so. She collided with whoever it was but luckily, the suit had somehow made the fall less painful and of course, less painful for the one she had collided with with all the fur and fabric. "Sorry." She apologized as she heard a 'Hello'.

Slowly, she stood up, dusting herself off before holding out a hand towards whoever it was to help them up. "Ah!" Realization soon came as the Gryffindor recognized this girl. "It's you!" You sounded rude but she doesn't know this girl's name. She never bothered to ask, believing that she had forgotten about it and she… would rather not do that. So she just addresses her as… you or sometimes, "The girl who beat me up!" One would probably be facepalming with how she says that but there was no ill-meaning. In fact, she even laughs at it. "Heyya." Raizel then gave Bex a wave.

RP Date Dec. 2, 2023 (10:00) Speech Reducio "Ara's Speech" 'Thoughts'

Outfit/s Reducio Items: Books, Tote Bag Post date Dec. 3, 023 (6:00) (Yes, indeed I did not sleep)

Ah yes, the corridors of Hogwarts. Ara walked under the arched ceilings and by the portraits of the halls, a book in hand. It was her own copy of "Chaos & Flame" by Tessa Gratton & Justina Ireland. It was interesting for the young Slytherin to say the least. She was wearing a rather casual ensemble of clothes. Being the infamous, unintentional fashionista she is, Ara wore a black button-up shirt with a pair of cream-colored pants that are similar to dress pants joining her black tote bag. It was just a normal Saturday after all, she didn't have to dress up all fancy for anything.

Back to the corridors, the black and white haired girl had her nose stuck in a book as a sudden red dragon costume thing pass by in her peripheral vision. 'What the hell?' she thought, looking up from her book just in time to see the dragon colliding with another student. 'There she goes...' Ara noticed that the person in the dragon costume somehow knew the girl they bumped in with. 'Well that was a nice coincidence, at least it wasn't a prefect they ran into.'

The girl was almost just right In front of where the dragon person and girl's crash happened, about 2-3 feet away. It was a good thing that she wasn't the person who got bumped into by the one dressed in Halloween attire. Ara leaned on the wall, watching the one in the costume wave at the brown haired girl who's supposedly a first year according to Ara's assumption. 'So the girl beat them up? Interesting...'

Reducio

Outfit

It was 10:00 in the morning but Elisa was still stricken by her sleep, for some reason she had thought it was wise to roam around the corridors in such an hour, the corridor was nearly empty with an exceptional few students walking here and there but Elisa paid no attention to them, she was simple busy reading a book about Charms which she had at first picked up to distract her from her sleep,

The corridor was chilly, especially for Elisa who had carelessly worn a simple dress while getting ready in a half-asleep form, the more she walked the chillier it became but she paid no attention, her attention was completely on the book until she heard some people whisper about someone wearing a dragon costume and roaming around, 'A dragon costume? that's new, I hope I get a sight of that person' thought Elisa, right now her mind which was previously set on her book was now full of questions regarding the person in a dragon costume,

After a few minutes of battling her thoughts, She finally decided to let the questions about the person in the dragon costume go away and decided to bury herself back in her book, she then started walking once again but this time making sure to not put her nose in anyone's conversation.

As she walked by the portraits, her eyes fell on two girls talking, while one was looking normal, the other was wearing a red dragon costume, 'This must be the dragon they were talking of' she thought while observing the dragon costume, the more she observed it, the more she was fascinated by the costume, she wondered from where the girl might have found such a costume in the wizarding shops, just a couple of minutes ago she had decided to forget about the dragon costume person but now that she had seen the costume by her own eyes, her mind was filled with questions.

After thinking for a couple of minutes, Elisa finally decided to go talk to the girl and compliment on her dragon outfit, She slowly walked towards the two talking girls and said
"Excuse me, I hope I am not interrupting your conversation but I just wanted to let you know that your dragon costume is cool, If you won't mind me asking where did you get such a costume from? I don't think I could find anything like this in any wizard shops"
Elisa hoped that she hadn't interrupted their conversation and tried her best to be as polite as possible.

𝓘t was a Saturday. Nothing good had ever come from waking up early on a Saturday, and if the events of today were anything to go by, nothing good ever would. She supposed that being clothes-lined was technically more enjoyable than studying, but only just. As least her assailant was a rather polite one, and apologized before extending a hand to help up Bex, who was currently flat on her back on the cold stone floor of the corridor. All the decorum in the world, though, couldn't retroactively bring her apple back up to edibility standards, so after one last wistful glance she accepted the dragon's giant furry hand and allowed them to pull her back onto her feet.

She was still dazed and confused when the dragon started accusing her of assault and battery. Bex racked her brain trying to figure out what on Earth the dragon could be referring to. Had she played Quidditch against this dragon or something? Bex truly didn't make a habit of going around and beating people up outside of school-sanctioned sporting events (some fistfights back in muggle school notwithstanding.)

However after a few moments it clicked, and the familiarity of the dragon's voice was suddenly apparent. The duel. The dragon was referring to the duel she'd had with Raizel Voltrouz a few days ago. Well, she'd hardly consider that to have been beating the older girl up, but apparently Raizel saw things differently.

"Raizel? Is that you in there? Did you... did you knock me over because I won our duel?" If so, that would definitely sting, and more than a little bit. She'd rather hoped that the two of them were becoming friends, or at least on friendly terms, and the thought that she'd been misreading the situation and Raizel was actually holding a grudge against her was a disappointing one.

They were interrupted, though, by a blonde girl asking about where Raizel got her dragon costume from, and Bex stepped back to let Raizel answer. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't hoping for a hole to open up and swallow her. Bex had no apple, no pajamas, no tea, and a sizeable bruise on the back of her head. This was the worst Saturday ever.

The Gryffindor in the dragon suit stood there and while people couldn't exactly see her face, she still smiled and kept a cheerful tone in her voice as she spoke up. "Ah, no, it's just hard to see through the eyes of this thing and I couldn't stop myself in time. Sorry about that." She apologized to the Ravenclaw girl. She's not the type of person who would hold a grudge against someone after losing to them in a duel. She would if they had done something extremely wrong to her and she will surely retaliate back. If she would hold a grudge on someone after that duel, it would probably be a grudge on herself for that awful performance.

She is a duellist yet the way she fought back then was not that of one. So many misses, more than what she should've let happen. That was just one of the many mistakes and losses that she experienced though so her grudge runs deep when it comes to herself. With her getting deep into her thoughts once more, she had failed to notice the person that approached them, making her jump. "Oh, this costume? I don't know, probably a muggle store or something." She answered. That was the best guess she could make as it was her mother who found this costume.

Looks like she was starting to get some attention and while Raizel sure was expecting that considering what she is wearing, she can't help but feel a bit nervous if it keeps growing. With that said, she can't help but glance at the other girl that's been watching them, staring back at them through the dragon costume eyes. She was taking her time to figure out who this other girl is but she knows she probably saw her somewhere around in the castle but just doesn't interact with that much. "Yo!" She gave them a greeting before turning back to the Ravenclaw girl and the other one who approached them. Come to think of it, this girl looks familiar too but the name kind of just got deleted from that brain of hers if she ever met her.

There is an inside joke between me and Bex with my character not knowing her name. If possible, please refrain from saying her name. Thank you

Bex got the vibes that this was going to be a long, long Saturday. Regardless, she was hungry and sore from her fall, and despite the rather funny diversion this had served as, she really did have to study. What a horrible place Hogwarts was, to be labelled a school of magic on the tin, but at the end of it all still requiring her to choose learning over dragons. The injustice of it all.

Her apple was lost to her forever, but the Great Hall likely had many more apples available to industrious students such as herself. If she hurried, she could still enjoy a quick breakfast before engaging with the eternal torment that was sure to be her day. Raizel was dressed really funny though, and she kind of wanted to show her off, like a new hat or a cool bug she found on the grounds. Hopefully she'd be able to entice the older girl to join her. Now that she knew the Gryffindor girl wasn't angry with her, she found herself happily back on much more secure footing.

"I'm going to head back to the Great Hall and get another breakfast, wanna come with me?" She'd direct this question at Raizel, though the blonde girl was more than welcome to accompany them as well. Regardless, she was on a tight schedule today and had already lost enough time, so with or without the other two girls she would make her leave, in pursuit of fruit.

It’s… definitely her outfit that probably had these people flabbergasted and not knowing how to respond. She would probably feel the same if she met someone down the hallways in a weird costume. Maybe not that much as she would find it amusing to see. It’ll be a memorable meeting, better than the traumatizing balls and other events in Hogwarts that screams danger and way better than the previous meetings she had with others where she somehow offends someone in a way that she doesn’t expect. She can’t understand people sometimes.

“Uh, yeah, sure.” There wasn’t that much thinking involved when she agreed with the Ravenclaw girl’s invitation to grab breakfast. Not like she has anywhere else to go and nothing much to do than trying out the warming capabilities of this suit. It was only then that she realized the horrible fate that had fallen on the apple on the floor, not unfit for consumption. “Yeah, I’ll come with you.” she continued with a sheepish chuckle, wanting to take responsibility for ruining such a fine apple that this Ravenclaw girl was probably eating before she bumped into her.

She too was getting hungry anyway, might as well grab an apple for herself before she continues onward on her own business.
