Open Post: Gryffindor and Ravenclaw

[courageous_wit]

Gryffindor
[your common room is hidden behind the portrait of the Fat Lady. She will only open for you if you give the password. Once inside, you will get to hang out with lots of comfortable seats and a cheerful fire. The colors are in gold and red, all very warm and welcoming.

If any Gryffindors have issues, your Head of House will be around to help you!]

Ravenclaw
[your common room is up in a tower. An eagle doorknocker will only let you inside if you answer a riddle. The colors here are a cool blue. It can be a bit chilly because of being so high]


[Gryffindor | Ravenclaw feel free to make your own sections, too!]

_{[ Ashura looked at Gioto, he himself feeling odd being seventeen again, though truthfully he did not look much different. He could feel that many of his scars were gone though, and that... bothered him, a phantom pull and itch working at his chest and back. ]}

From the looks of it? A magical castle, though in a different way from Cair Paradisa. At the least it does seem to have the comforts of home, which I will count as a small miracle of generosity on the Castle's part.

[Zelos meanwhile looks nothing short but annoyed]

Yeah sorry, I really don't feel like counting my blessings when I've been made fourteen again.

Oh crap, I am TERRIBLE and thought it was Gioto /sobbing/ Sorry!

[wishmadeinfire]

Most people would be glad to be made so young.

_{[ He looked down at his own hands, the callouses not as evident, the few pink scars gone. ]}

I think I am seventeen...

Did you not enjoy being fourteen when you were that age?

ROFL ITS OKAY

[wilder]

[a flat look]

Does anyone enjoy being fourteen?

Because if someone says they did, I feel safe in saying they're lying or the rest of their life really sucked.

Re: ROFL ITS OKAY

[wishmadeinfire]

Fourteen was one the last happy years for me.

_{[ So yeah, he enjoyed being fourteen. His parents had died when he was sixteen, and even though there had been war even then, his parents had been alive and the scars - emotional and physical - had not yet settled on his soul. ]}

But I suppose it's a moot point, given we won't be changing back our true ages any time soon. Have you ever been here before through the Castle?

[wilder]

Wow. Well then, I guess you fall into the latter group! Sorry!

[Tact, Zelos frequently lacks it]

This place? Uh, no?

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ He made a face, but sighed. ]}

Well, I suppose that means we shall all have to muddle through then unless someone does know. But I can tell you it's another world than has altered my Talent, so if you have any magic I would guess it is altered too.

_{[ He clearly was not happy with this outcome in the least. It made him itch inside. ]}

[wilder]

Yeah- I noticed.

[He won't explain more than that]

Guess we'll have to learn magic their way then.

[wishmadeinfire]

I suppose... I think it is done with these sticks?

_{[He took the long oak wand out of his robe where it had been tucked away. It really looked completely unassuming and frankly he was not at all impressed or sure how it helped with magic, but something said it was what one used. ]}

[wilder]

...Wands. That's a wand.

[wishmadeinfire]

Oh. A wand then. I've read about them, in my books, but I had not thought I would ever actually use one. Well, if I can use one...

_{[ Of course he can, but he's not willing to explore that immediately with others nearby. ]}

[wilder]

Aha, I'm sure we'll figure it out. That's why we're at this school right?

[wishmadeinfire]

I suppose so, but a strange school it is. Though, I admit, I like the view from the window. Its pastoral. And as I understood it, I have "classes" today. Rather novel, since I haven't had a tutor for anything in... well, over two centuries.

[wilder]

Two centuries? Wow- That's gonna be so much worse than summer vacation forgetfulness.

[wishmadeinfire]

_{[ He laughed at that. ]}

Well, much of what I learned I had to keep in constant practice, so it is not terribly hazy, even now. Do you think this place might have a library? There should be more information on this 'school' and our wands no doubt, and whatever magic we are meant to use now.
