(Dictated)

What does it mean to be a Gryffindor? (The colors remind him of the Bard school.) I understand that bravery and chivalry play a part, but if that's all, I am not in the right House in the least.

Speaking of which, does anyone really abide by the curfew? I feel like I'm in the Collegium again, but this time...

(There's no one warming his bed. Sleeping alone is almost physically painful after everything. Every moment of silence is filled with Tylendel's thoughts about Savil and all of the people - good people - he betrayed and left behind.)

It seems lonely. Magic can't make up for everything.

_{[ The sound of his beloved's voice raised his spirits immensely, and he was quick to reply when he did. ]}

The way it has been explained to me, dear heart, is that we are in a magical castle of another sort and our magic is different too. I cannot cast the normal spells, we must use these... wands.

Ah, this all might be better sorted in person, no? Meet me outside the main doors.

_{[ So he could make sure it was you here, reassure himself their happiness was not yet taken away yet again. ]}

(Someone sounds just as excited to hear from Vanyel.)

I wondered what this stick was for. I'm glad I didn't use it to stoke the flames in the fireplace.

(He chuckles. How does he read his mind? Is that apart of the Magic?)

I'll be there. Give me ten minutes. There are a lot of stairs.

(But he'll be taking them two at a time unless a staircase moves.)

_{[ Lots of stairs was an understatement, wasn't it? He had just as many
to run through, but he made it out to the front, clad in the black robes
with his bright yellow scarf, colors he did not particularly like but had
no choice about at the moment now did he? Well, it was only temporary.}

He stood outside, turning about, looking for Tylendel with nervous anticipation. ]

(Gryffindor just had to be located in a tower, didn't it? Tylendel huffed and jumped through the portrait-hole and landed awkwardly before taking off down the first flight of stairs. After a few close-calls with staircases moving, he finally stepped onto the bottom landing and looked around for Vanyel eagerly.

He was pretty easy to spot in Hufflepuff colors. Then again, Tylendel stood out in the red and gold too. It figured that they would be doomed to the gaudier colors Hogwarts had to offer.)

Van! (He ran up to the other boy, eyes wide.) You're... (A teenager.) How do you feel?

_{[ Ah, that was an... interesting question, wasn't it? How did he feel?
]}

Young.

_{[ It felt the only real word he had for it. But his eyes glittered,
reaching out to take Tylendel's hand, lacing their fingers. ]}

Like we're back at the Collegium when we first met.

(He grins at their hands and tugs Vanyel into a tight hug, kissing his forehead.)

You look young! (Just like old times.) I haven't a clue how I stopped from kissing you for so long.

Well, eventually you do need to breathe - and talk.

_{[ He still had all his memories, even if his body was young. But his
eyes held the oldness in them, the scars of the years even if his body no
longer bore those same scars. Still, he smiled warmly and kissed his life
bonded, not caring who saw like he might have at the Collegium. ]}

So, I suppose you are in another house from me then.

_{[ He touched the other's red and gold scarf as compared to his own
yellow and black. ]}

There was the possibility that you wouldn't have liked it.

(He notices Vanyel's eyes; the maturity that is held within those depths is undeniable. Yet he is glad that his lover gets to feel a young body again. The pain of his many battles can be forgotten - fully - for the length of this world change.)

Gryffindor, yes. (A shrug follows and he shakes his head.) I don't think I'm suited. Chivalry, bravery...

We all know I can be a right ass when I want to be.

When you wanted to be, but I think everyone is capable of that.

_{[ He squeezed his hand all the same, reassuring him. ]}

But you are brave, Tylendel, and chivalrous. Sometimes not in equal measures, but you are. At the least, red suits you better than this yellow and black suits me.

_{[ He sighed, looking down at the scarf and the insignia emblazoned on
his robes. ]}

But not everyone has a knack for it. [He grins and rests his lips against Vanyel's forehead.] You are far too kind to me, Ashke. I love you for that.

[His eyebrows raise and he drops kisses over Vanyel's face.]

The black brings out your eyes and the yellow is sunny. I like imagining you in the sunshine.

Sunshine is golden, not the color of a lady's gown.

_{[ He sighed, looking down the paths and across the grounds of this
'Hogwarts', this place the Castle had become. Really, it was quite idyllic
and in the distance he could see the gates. He had heard talk that the path
led down to a place called Hogsmede, a little village of sorts the students
could shop in and get something to drink or treats. ]}

Care to explore with me?

Yellow is as close as you can get to sunshine in fabric, love.

(It was endearing to see that some of Vanyel's peacock tendencies hadn't changed. As far as he was concerned, his lover always looked gorgeous. One look from Vanyel's pale eyes was enough to make his legs feel like jelly.)

I don't want to be anywhere else. Lead the way.

_{[ He felt warm, taking Tylendel's hand, hearing him say those things.
It felt like the old days, before everything had become so... hard.}

He nodded and they headed down the path towards the gates that he could see not to far off, looking back over his shoulder at the great beast of a castle behind them. ]

Certainly an interesting world we're in this time.

"Their daring, nerve and chivalry set Gryffindors apart". That's what the Hat said during my Sorting. But if that really was all the Hat was looking for, I can think of some who should've been Sorted into Gryffindor but were placed elsewhere. [she thinks of Luna in particular, who was exceedingly brave and daring]

Sometimes it's difficult for the Hat to place a student. I know it seriously considered putting me in Ravenclaw.

I don't recall it thinking about another House for me. For all intents and purposes, Gryffindor is the only House that fits me. Supposedly.

[But that doesn't soothe his fears very much.]

I was...more than a coward in the past. [Yet he was still a Herald and he has more than learned from his mistakes.]

You remember the Sorting ceremony? [but there wasn't even one. Everyone just showed up in their common rooms, right?]

I've...heard about it. I guess I assumed we were all Sorted? I can't say my memory has been the most accurate lately.

(After effects of dying and suffering so much emotional trauma.)

That happens to a lot of people in Paradisa.

I've... I've been wondering that myself... I'm not really sure I qualify either...

The Hat must see something we don't.

Maybe...

Or maybe it just made a mistake...

I doubt it. I hear it's reliable.

Mm...

If you say so... [totally not convinced anyway :(]

It means you like to pat yourselves on the back and hear yourselves talk.

Well that's a nice way to look at it!
