Welcome to Gaia! ::

Addie walked into the noisy common room from her dorm she had just spent the last few hours concocting a brilliant prank for her sister to stumble into later this evening. She couldn't hide the evil smirk that was plastered to her face. Who knew that magic would help her diabolical plans so much. Her excited mood was slightly subdued as she noticed her surroundings everyone seemed a little tense in the room. The first year glanced around hoping to find her friends Joel and Ivy before the meeting started. She noticed their absence and began to wonder where they were. The brunette wandered over to a vacant spot that seemed out of the way yet in a good vantage point to see the portrait hole and the dorm steps.

Addie grinned as one of her friends made it on time. She listened to her friend as she wondered if this was normal. The brunette shook her head before replying, "Apparently not, Ari hasn't been to one before and she's a Third year. This can't be normal." She glanced around wondering really what had happened. "I'm not sure what it's about but everyone seems a bit on edge..." Her glance lingered on a few of the older students hanging out together on chairs. She couldn't hear their conversations and Addie couldn't help but wonder if someone died or something.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

Joel climbed in though the portrait hole, having just come in from doing a bit of dribbling with his football out on the lawns of the castle. He had no idea why Amata, errr, Professor Harlowe, had called the meeting. He wasn't privy to that information, and he wasn't going to pester his cousin for details either. He looked around the common room and spied several upperclassmen talking amongst themselves and took a seat next to Ivy and Addie. He still carried his ball, which he juggled now and frowned. Looking over to Addie and Ivy, he shrugged at them. "Everyone being on edge? Talking about the meeting, or did something else happen?" He was later than everyone else, after all. Something else could have happened to prompt this sudden attitude pervading the common room.

All the Gryffindors had been called to a meeting in the common room with the Professor. He frowned when he received the letter telling him to report to the common room. That didn't sound good. All the Gryffindors were stuffing into the common room to hear what the meeting was about. Addison wormed his way through the crowd to find Pru, his very best friend in Gryffindor. He looked at her and flashed an uneasy smile. "Hey Pru. You have any idea what this meeting is about? You don't think anyone got hurt, right?" He frowned slightly and searched through the assembled to see if he saw all their faces.

He smiled a little more reassuringly when she smiled at him. At the mention of the people drinking last year, his smile melted. He shrugged. He didn't really like drinking, or at least, the thought of it. Why would you do that? And at school? That was dumb and it had cost them House points. "It probably is. I pretty much see everyone from the House here. At least, I think I do." He shrugged and looked around at everyone again. Then he smirked again, trying to reassure her. "Plus, if someone got hurt or something, there'd be like... Aurors or Mediwizards here. Right?"

Axel stretched his limbs, both arms high overhead and each leg stretched out across from him as he yawned. He balled his hand and rubbed the sleep away from his eyes, trying to wake himself up to, at least, look somewhat curious. But really, he could care less. ”Hm? Oh, don't have a clue.” He shrugged his shoulders, and shook his head ferociously to fight that yawn away as it crept up to his lips. ”Never been to one before, I didn't even know that there were house meetings. I wonder if the other houses are having one too?” He furrowed his brow in concentration, then shrugged his shoulders as he leaned against the arm rest of his seat. ”You're Arianna, right? We were in tryouts together your first year.” He remembered her, but only slightly. There were always so many students trying out, too many, to be honest. And anyways, ever since his step sister made the team, and not him, he'd lost most of his interest in playing for Gryffindor. ”Were you going to try out again this year?”

Arianna tried not to giggle at the fourth years attempts to wake himself up and look presentable. He must've just woken up. She felt a little guilty not noticing it before she came over and started badgering him. The third year frowned slightly disappointed as the older boy admitted he didn't know what was going on either. "I wondered that too. My friend from Ravenclaw didn't know anything about house meetings either. They're not having one." She had wondered if the other houses had to have a meeting as well but that wasn't the case this meeting seemed to be just for their house. The red head lost her train of thought when the fourth year asked her name. Ari started she couldn't believe how rude she'd been. "Oh, yes I'm sorry. I should've introduced myself. I'm Arianna. I remember we both tried out together as Chasers." She said remembering her first year quite well. It had been a horrible try-out and she didn't even make the reserve team. The girl was actually surprised he even remembered her but then again that's just how bad her playing must've been. She had to admit her playing had gotten much better throughout the years. "Yes, I was on reserve again last year. I hope I'm good enough for the main team this year." She smiled hoping that she could someday follow her dream. "Are you going to try out again?"

”Really?” Brows construed and nose scrunched up on his face, he shook his head from side to side and uttered a long, dragged out, possibly way too over exaggerated sigh. ”Well that's rubbish, why are we being singled out?” He tried to keep a straight face, but ended up stifling a short yawn behind his hand as he blinked back up at Arianna with a sheepish smile. Until she started apologizing, then he shook his head and waved his hand in protest, ”Hey, no worries,” he chuckled. ”I'm Axel.” He nodded firmly, figuring he ought to at least return the introduction with one of his own.

”I remember that, there were a lot of chasers that year, blimey, there's always a lot of everything. I'm sure you'll do great, and even if not, the upperclassmen will have to graduate eventually, and someone's gotta take their place on the team...” His smile faltered, however, when prompted with her next question. ”No, don't think I will. Like I said, try outs are always overcrowded.... So I take it you're a quidditch fan then, huh? What's you favorite team? I'm Falmouth Falcon fan, myself, you probably like the Holyhead Harpies, don't you?” Maybe he was teasing her a little, but it was only because it was true. All girls like the harpies, it's the only team featuring all women players.
