((Gasp, I've totally forgotten about this, been pretty busy, just so you know I've changed my username!! c: ))
Luca raised as eyebrow at the slytherin girl, sure, she had made a rose appear, but that was pretty simple magic and had nothing to do with finding something out about Emily, although the rose was pretty.
He smiled expectantly at Emily once she'd volunteered, shifing around on his knees a little.

(yea about ten or so minutes till it starts about mabie fifteen by the time she is compleatly blue.:3I have evil thoughts lol!And I changed my avatar to a red panda!:3)

Raven-She saw the boy from earlier this morning with the white ferret look at her.She shook her head in distrust.She did not trust most guys because all the ones she knew only saw her as a hot chick in sylitherin.She jumped as she heard the loud pecking sound once more.She slowly turned around to see her pet raven,Willow once again pecking at the window from outside.She muttered something under her breath about owls.She watched the bird for a moment then turned back to the class.She was desperately trying to ignore the bird.She tried to turn her mind back to the prank.She figured in a few moments the girl would slowly start to turn as blue as the rose.First at her feet then her entire body.Even her hair would turn a shade of blue.Raven smirked to herself for a moment and snuck a bit if her treat from the cook into her mouth.The treat was almost gone but raven knew she had to eat it now or willow would take it somehow.

-Emily-

She returned Luca's smile gently and stood up as the Professor nodded at her and walked just past the table to where there was some space and took out her wand. It fit into her palm perfectly, as if it were made for her, and she really enjoyed that fact. She thought for a moment then lifted the wand and moved it around as if forming letters, muttering a charm under her breath. She stepped back and watched as small, constantly colour-changing sparks started to appear in the air, quickly moving around like how she'd moved her wand, leaving behind a colourful trail like that from a sparkler.
When the sparks reached the end, they simply disappeared, leaving behind the word 'EMILY' in letters that changed from one colour to another gradually. She thought it was pretty, and she hoped Professor Quisenberry thought so as well.
Emily stood with her hands relaxed by her side, her wand still in her right hand, tapping against her thigh, waiting for a response from everyone. She didn't notice the blue colour that slowly crept up the tips of her fingers, slowly covering her hand.

-Kai-

He thought that what Emily had done was pretty interesting, but was surprised by her enthusiasm. She was usually rather shy, why was she suddenly more confident? Was it the fact she had a friend or two? Probably factors that went into it. He watched her, leaning against the table and smiling at her, showing support. Even if she got annoyed at him, he still wanted to encourage his little sister.
And that's when he frowned. Her fingers were starting to turn... blue. He glanced at the flower she'd left on the table. The exact same colour. He risked a glance at the Slytherin girl and decided to remember her face, just incase.
With a spurt of energy and a thought of not wanting his sister to face ridicule alone, he grabbed the flower and examined it, as if it interested him. It probably had a charm on it that would also turn him blue. He placed it in his pocket and looked at the Slytherin girl again. He didn't usually think ill of people as he disliked the idea of getting into fights or hating someone, but if Emily's response to being blue was as he thought it would be...
Behind his pleasant and relaxed smile, his jaw was set firmly into a sign of anger.

-Stellar-

"This is soo bloody boring," Stellar muttered quietly to Ally. When the girl was quiet, she actually wasn't that much of a nuisence.
"And you sound soo bloody British," she replied with a slight giggle. It earned a 'look' from Iglehart but he soon turned back to teaching the lesson.
"It's from staying in the Leaky Cauldron for too damn long," she growled. "It's painful listening to all the British people speaking with their weird accents."
"Don't be racist, I think that guys with British accents are actually quite cute."
"But I don't, the only type of accent I like is an American one," she muttered sinking lower in her chair. "I can't believe that I'm stuck here when I could have gone to another school over in America."
"Stellar," Ally glared. "The wizarding school in America is, apparently, not as good as Hogwarts. Plus, the famous Harry Potter was taught her, don't you know your history? Every famous person I know of came here."
"Booooooooriiinng," she sighed.
"Miss Markham, what is so 'booooooriiing'?"
"This school," she replied, daring the Professor to respond. He narrowed his eyes at her.
"Do not speak ill of Hogwarts, or I'll-"
"The very name of this place is stupid," she said, cutting him off.
"After class," Professor Iglehart said through gritted teeth. "See me. For now, sit here." He pulled out a chair next to some fat kid who repulsed Stellar. She sighed and threw her things into her bag and sat down beside the kid, as far away as the desk would permit. Iglehart continued with the lesson, though a few eyes were on her. She rested her head on her hand and dozed off once more.

((You're username has changed? I didn't really notice, I usually tell people apart by the pictures and signatures. XD
But, yay, new username! I didn't know you could change it? Still, that's awesome!
Haha, Red Panda's are so cute. I got to hug one, once. It was incredibly FLUFFEH!!
Stellar is such a little cow. It's rather fun rping her. XD ))

((Bump?))

[BakaNek0Lord]

Raven-She saw the boy look at her and mouthed the words."Don't let it prick you."She said giving him a kind smile.She turned back to the window where willow sat tapping the glass.Raven sighed and tryed to ignore the creature.So she turned back to the boy who had been looking at her.She wanted to remember his face,after all she did not trust most guys so she figured that if she could zone one out at a time they would not mess with her.She had been hurt by a guy before,that's why she did not trust guys.She was also used to being used or feared because of her family.She was quite astonished that no one had reconized her yet.She shook her head and turned to the girl.She saw the blue and simply gave a small smile."Great job!"She caled and clapped not careing if she got into trouble.She could feel the boys eyes on her and it unsettled her.She may be tricky and a little rude but she had fears too.She looked at the boys face for a second.She saw threw the fake smiles,she used them so often it seemed normal to reconize one in a second.Her eyes looked away,that look was often given to her by her father or someone.She moved around in her seat and tryed not to look at the boy.

((Waiting for a Luca post, I feel like we're carrying on without -Theo))

[Chrystopher]

((So sorry you guys, I've been sick D: it's really quite horrible. Thanks for waiting, I am going snowboarding for the next three days tomorrow and won't be able to get on much, but I do think I will have internet access there, so I'll try to reply as often as possible. ))
Luca stared, wide eyed at the blue slowly creeping up Emily's hand, it was clear the rose had caused it since it was the very same shade of blue. He risked a glance at the slytherin girl who was smiling quite pleasantly, Luca thought she even looked a little smug. Then a gasp erupted from professor Quisenberry and it was clear she could see it too. She hastily dismissed the class -asking both Emily and the slytherin girl to stay behind- but Luca lingered, feeling a little nosy he wanted to see what would happen.
He glanced around, expecting Kai to be here, he would stay with his little sister should this happen to her.
Despite the victim of the prank being his new friend, Luca quite admired the wit behind this, a charm like that was rather hard to pull off well, he tried to stifle a grin as the blue reached Emily's elbow.
((Feel free to play Quisenberry, all teachers are there and available for anyone to play.))

[TᴀɪntᴇD CrᴇᴀtɪvɪtY]

((Snowboarding, FTW! Haha, I went snowboarding just last week. XD First time ever, so epic! I did so many backflips, and frontflips, and at the end of those I landed on my butt, back or head. That part... not so awesome. But it was still pretty freakin' epic! Good luck with the flu! I hate getting it. -_-
Oh, gosh, Emily... her small pride is going to be shattered...))

-Emily-

She frowned as most people started laughing. It wasn't what she had expected at all... she smiled all the same and prepared to take a bow when she saw Professor Quisenberry's expression. Unsure, she looked down to check if she had anything on her robe and froze, her eyes glued to her blue hand. She looked at Kai and saw him looking rather upset, strangely enough. Emily could only watch in horror as the rest of the class were herded out and she was left behind with the Slytherin girl you had given her the rose...
The rose! It was blue and now she was too. She bit her lip softly and tried her best to hold back tears. She even saw Luca stifle a laugh. She walked stiffly over to the Professor but barely heard a word. "Emily?!" She shouted.
But Emily only shook her head, closed her eyes, turned and put her arm up to cover most of her face. Ignoring everyone else, she ran out the door, feeling the tears sliding down her face. There were so many students, and she bumped into loads of them. All she could hear was their laughter, ringing in her ears.
She stumbled and fell halfway up the many stairs that took her to the Ravenclaw common-room and scraped her hands but carried on, regardless. She stopped at the top and made sure no one was around before listening to the door's riddle.
"What runs smoother than any rhyme, and loves to fall but can not climb?"
Even though she felt betrayed, she managed to think clearly enough and came up with the answer only a few seconds later. "Water."
The door swung open and she hurried up to her room, ignoring the one or two people sitting in the armchairs. She shut the door behind her, kicked off her shoes and dived under her covers, pulling them tightly around her and allowing all the emotion she had tried her best to stay quiet when in public flow.

-Kai-

He stood up, but didn't leave with the rest of the class. He hung in the doorway, watching Emily stand there like a taxidermied being from the movie Avatar. She didn't listen to Quisenberry, and when the Professor finally realised it and called her name, she ran from the classroom like a shot. Kai watched after her, feeling anger surging through him when nobody from the pressing throng bothered to help or check she was okay, they just stared after her and laughed. He thought he saw one person try to reach out and pull her arm away from her face so they could see how blue it was, but they missed and she carried on.
He sent a glare of daggers at the Slytherin girl and left the room, heading the opposite way to Emily. He had Ancient Runes now, and Emily was in another House to him so he couldn't go and see her. He did hope she was okay, though. She was his sister, and if she suffered, he would also suffer. The same couldn't be said with his relationship to his younger sister.
Kai had never liked Stellar much, and she really couldn't care less about him and Emily, but she was his sister and he did do his best to please her. It never worked though.
Not liking the angry scowl that was fixed on his face, he changed it to a relaxed smile, while his eyes raged like a storm in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

[Chrystopher]

((Awesome! Bahaha, I never meet many snowboarders here in Australia, and I'm guessing your from the southern hemisphere too? Seeing as it's summer in the north. New Zealand like your characters? That'd be cool!
Wow, poor Emily, emotional girl XD ))
Luca watched the scene unfold with awe, as Emily ran out of the room he felt a pang of guilt, he never should have laughed. Although he was used to making fun of his friends, and nobody he'd ever met would react so strongly to a prank. Luca did feel sorry for her though, he could guess their family had some painful history.
Quisenberry was packing up her things, being a bit of an amature when it came to punishments, she simply bustled about in shock, wanting to get to her next class and forget the whole thing. Of course she pitied the girl, but she couldn't think of anything she could do to help now, or a suitable punishment for the pranker.
Emily must have gone to the commonroom, she would never have gone to her next class. Being her only friend in Ravenclaw -that he knew of- Luca planned to go see what he could do, and simply skip his next class.
But first, Luca slowly wandered over to the Slitherin girl, he stood next to her for a moment and then said;
"If anyone else would have volunteered, that would have been pretty damn cool." He began making his way out of the classroom and facing the girl, smirking.

[TᴀɪntᴇD CrᴇᴀtɪvɪtY]

-Stellar-

She left the room five minutes later than she had wanted. The Professor had kept her behind and given her a lecture on their 'amazing' school. It just made Stellar despise it even more. She had Charms, now. 'What luck,' she thought sarcastically. 'All the subjects here are so stupid!'
She reached the classroom just before it began and got stuck sitting next to the fat-kid again, as Ally had been put next to some other girl. "Hi," the kid said.
Stellar ignored him. He seemed hurt by her ignorance towards him, but didn't try to start a conversation again. Professor Quisenberry came in and looked over the students, her eyes lingering on Stellar. She looked nervous. Stellar wondered why then instantly stopped herself. Curiosity where teachers were concerned was probably not a good idea. It was their issue, and they could handle it on their own. Plus, would students really help?
"Okay, class, today we'll be learning about Wingardium Leviosa. Can anyone tell me what this spell does? Oh, yes Rodney?" She pointed to the kid who sat next to Stellar.
"The levitating charm," he said, proudly.
"Excellent! Five points to Hufflepuff! Now, we will just be testing it on feathers today, but when we all get it, we can move on to larger things! The best of you may even get to levitate your friends."
She assigned the job of handing feathers out to Ally who was all too enthusiastic about it. She slipped a feather to Stellar, along with a note. Barely pausing, Stellar read it and then stuffed it in her bag. All it was was a pathetic apology for not waiting for her. It was stupid and wasn't needed.
Stellar proceeded to take out her wand and chant 'Wingardium Leviosa' many times, over and over. She didn't succeed in her first ten tries, and it was slowly making her blood boil with rage.

-Kai-

He reached the Ancient Runes classroom with time to spare, and though he pulled out all his books and other equipment and had people to talk to, his thoughts lingered on Emily. Why hadn't he turned blue? Had the charm only worked once? Was Emily all alone in her dormitory? He knew that she got very upset over very minor things. It wasn't exactly her fault, she'd been bullied many times as a kid and just wanted to fit in. Being blue and seeing people laughing would've crushed her, and it was only the first day!
Would she even go to lunch to eat? He knew she'd not go to anymore lessons today, regardless of the results from the teachers, and she wouldn't go to the Hospital Wing because of her phobia about doctors. Even though Madame Trumble was a kind lady, Emily hated being in the weird beds with the smell of sterile chemicals all around her. Medicine also freaked her out.
Kai barely noticed the others, worrying over his little sister. Would she even manage coming out again when the charm had worn off? She'd probably be teased about it till someone did something even stupider. Which probably wouldn't take very long...
"Kai!" Professor Yeaw cut through his thoughts like a katana. "Did you hear what I just said."
Kai repeated it, word-for-word. Clearly annoyed he'd been caught out, Yeaw continued teaching. Thoughts on Emily were now banned from his head, he decided, as were other depressing thoughts.
Kai closed his eyes and allowed his mind to wander away from the castle and off into the world beyond.

-Emily-

"Idiot," she said to herself, sniffing. She had put on her glasses but they kept fogging up. Her mascara was running down her cheeks like black tears but she didn't care. She hugged the pillow she held to her body. "Stupid, baka, of course. A few years into Hogwarts made you think you were safe, but they still manage to make you look like a fool."
She hadn't talked to herself in months. The last time had been when she was trying to remember a spell, but now she was talking to herself plainly because she was lonely and upset. Her voice was fragile when she next continued, like thin glass that could break at the slightest touch. "I can never fit in, I'll always be that geek that is seen as a punching bag, something that others can have a go at and judge the results." Speaking of her previous bully-ing's gave her small flashbacks. Sitting in class and having a rugby-ball thrown at her head when the teacher looked the other way, being shoved down in a rain-storm into a muddy puddle and being sent home for being dirty, walking past a group of people and having them laugh and shout insults at her.
She hugged the pillow closer, tears piling up at the edge of her eyes. "I'll never be accepted, they hate me. I thought I found a friend in... Luca," she struggled to say his name. "And that Raven girl, but they were fake. Just like Holly."
Holly was a girl who had be-friended Emily when she was new to the school. The girl had seemed kind and sincere, but after being told a lot of embarrassing secrets, she told them to everyone and became friends with the group that always hurt Emily. She started saying the Emily had started dating guys at a very young age and had called her numerous, down-grading names from then on.
They even came after her in the holidays, when she thought she was safe. She had been swinging on a rope swing on some private property her father owned when they came along and sat opposite her on the road next to the field and pelted her with rocks. Most of the cuts and brusies had healed, but a sharper rock had left an un-treated scar behind on the back of her neck. She stretched a shaking hand back and felt along the uneven line. She closed her eyes and hugged the pillow with both arms.
"I am such a fool," she said gently.

((Poor, poor Emily... so weird considering I enjoy torturing my characters. Brings out the best emotional writing. :3
Remember, Luca can't climb up the stairs to the girl dormitories. Vice versa is possible, but guys just aren't trustworthy enough. XD I'm sorry, I really loved that bit in the books.
Also: Ahh fudge muffins... you found my ninja head-quarters... but, YES! I thought you were an Aussie! I could just tell from the posting times and so on. *fist pumps* I WAS RIGHT!
*nervous laugh* Yeah, sorry, I enjoy being right. ^-^ ))
