[Richie's Gal Forever]

Harry Potter is dead. Voldemort succeeded in taking him down and taking over the ministry, declaring himself the new Minister of Magic. Upon his victory, the Weasleys and Hermione were grieving. They had lost a dear member of their family, Fred, and an honorary member, Harry, as well as Remus and Tonks. It seemed they couldn't catch a break. Andromeda, Tonks's mother, died not long after the battle, stricken with grief and leaving the Weasleys with Teddy. They knew they couldn't stay in England. They knew that it was only a matter of time before Voldemort came looking for them. They quickly threw together an escape plan and fled from England. With close to no money and very few possessions, they tried to find a place to stay.

Ireland and Scotland were an obvious no-go. Germany, France, and Spain were too obvious due to Fleur's connections and too close. America was also a little too obvious, seeing as that would be one of the furthest countries to go to. They finally settled for Italy. They went all around the country, just trying to find a place that was willing to take a massive wizarding family of 11 in. They came across a castle that reminded them a bit of Hogwarts. When they approached, the sight changed from that of old ruins to a magnificent, graceful castle, much like Hogwarts did. They must have taken after the British school very much to have thought of that trick. They were questioned and healed of any and all injuries and found Ginny was pregnant, a fact she had kept hidden the last month.

It is now 26 years after the battle. Ginny's daughter, Carolina, didn't find out her real last name and her origin until she was 17, though she still goes by the last name Olivarius to hide the fact. She became an auror, then like her father, was promoted very young to head auror. As part of an assignment to protect the upcoming generation of witches and wizards, she was given the headmistress role at Vecchio Montagna. The Italian Ministry of Magic has fallen to death eaters and the threat of a new war looms. There are spies in the castle that have Carolina on edge, hoping nobody finds out her secret, even if that means that she never tells her staff about her life.

{ . History . }

Vecchio Montagna is a wizarding school in Italy. It was founded by four English siblings who fled from the American colonies after the Salem Witch Trials: Prospero Adeodatus, Logain Adeodatus, Faegan Adeodatus, and Locasta Rousselle. Locasta's daughter-in-law had gotten caught in the Witch Trials and succumbed, being too weak to defend herself, which prompted the flee from America. Prospero had gone to Hogwarts before leaving England and had been a Gryffindor. Logain was in the middle of his education when he left as a Ravenclaw and, upon living in America, studied under his brother privately due to the lack of desire to attend another school. Faegan and Locasta, however, attended Ilvermorny. Faegan as a Pukwudgie and Locasta as a Thunderbird. With the combined knowledge of schools and Prospero's newfound talent for building, he built the castle himself for his rapidly growing family (third generation at this point). When the school started growing, Prospero was appointed Headmaster and Professor of Alchemy, Logain was appointed Deputy Headmaster and Professor of Astrology, Faegan was appointed Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, and Locasta was appointed Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

{ . House Info . }

Aria

"Where the sky is the limit."

Witches and wizards of this house are normally the leaders in the society! This is because they are all about action, motion, and ideas. They are social, brilliant, friendly, curious, independent, talkative, versatile, observant, entertaining, have charming social skills, love communicating, and always manage to bring new life into anything when they enter the room. They're intellectual, rational, analytical, logical, and abstract when it comes to thinking. Some believe that wizards and witches from this house have the most developed thinking as they use both the left (logic) side of the brain as well as the right (creative) side of the brain. They love philosophical discussions, good books, giving advice. They continuously look for new information and love to share it as well as develop new ideas themselves. As for telling stories, Aria definitely has the best storytellers. However, those who are from this house are often seen as shallow, impractical, restless, detached, objective, and superficial. In some cases, this is good as it allows them to step back from different situations and see it in a new light. However, it is also bad for if others think negatively toward them, these wizards and witches take a step back, becoming cold and aloof. They also are not the best when it comes to connecting to other people emotionally, though they want nothing more than for others to understand them.

Fuoco

"Fuoco, where we rise from the ashes."

The House of Fire can be a lot of fun. The wizards and witches in it can be very dramatic and swing from one extreme to the next. They can be known for spontaneous plans and actions. Though, if you do find this a little off-putting, know that they act straight from the heart and will never lie to themselves or you about who they are. They are very self-aware and very firmly stand for what they believe in. Because of their high-voltage energy, they always need a way to express themselves. Whether this be through music, painting, sculpting, or whatever, they are always entertaining these abilities and they tend to be quite good at it. These wizards and witches are natural entertainers and they always strive to make people smile, laugh, sing, clap, or dance. It brings as much joy, if not more, to them as it does to the person they’re entertaining. Because of their passionate nature, they can come off as a little too much in some ways. They are always very enthusiastic and animated. They tend to be quite courageous and will do anything that other signs might hesitate on. To go with this, they are very adventurous. They can be pushy, but it is out of their desire to help others. They want to make things easier for others. They have a great sense of humor, to go with their antics. They tend to be quite inspirational to others for their lack of care of what other people say. On the negative side, those from this house can turn out to be fanatics, impulsive, egotistic, and selfish. If not raised properly, they can believe that they are the best at whatever they do and nobody else can beat them. They tend to speak and act without thinking, which goes with their bluntness. They are truthful, especially when angry, and it can burn. Some only think of themselves and end up hurting a lot of people. Despite all of this, fire signs are actually some of the best friends that you can have. They will never lie to you and they will always provide entertainment.

Acqua

"Where we seek the depths of spirituality."

Witches and Wizards in the house of water are some of the most intuitive. They do what they feel is right, no matter what everyone else thinks. They are mysterious people to be around because they are very private. They are very unsocial and reclusive and tend to stick to themselves rather than be around other people. Getting to know a witch or wizard in the house of water is a very difficult thing to do. Witches and wizards in this house need security or they can become unravelled and overwhelmed. They are ultra sensitive and emotional and this can be off-putting to other houses, especially the fire houses that are very blunt. But, they mean everything from their heart and everything they feel is real. They tend to absorb other people’s emotions and can get overwhelmed very quickly. This house is nurturing and loving and very accepting of other people. If you need to rant, go to a witch or wizard in the water house.

Terra

"Terra, where we stay grounded to our roots, our goals, and our dreams."

Terra witches and wizards are more grounded than any other house, always offering a foundation. They’re seen as comforting, stable, focused, persistent, consistent, disciplines, reliable, loyal, pragmatic, ambitious, sensual, conservative, realistic, organized, and practical. Even during hard times, they stick to those close to them, offering a sense of calm and grounding the people around them. They can also be very emotional. They are more connected to the material and physical things than the spiritualistic Acqua house. They are seen as the builders and producers, the ones who bring dreams to reality. They provide the physical needs and establish structures to create security and comfort. They prefer a daily routine with instructions and rules imbedded into it. They are perfectionists, always organized and clean. In fact, their level of perfection is so high, that they are always ready to do any task themselves to make sure it’s done properly. This can make them very good leaders, depending on the situation. However, they feel like even they do not do it properly at times. However, negative members of this house can be materialistic, greedy, over-indulgent, stagnant, and fearful. They can get so obsessed with their senses that they become blind to everything around them. They also focus so much on the physical that they forget the inner. They struggle more with bringing ideas to life and dealing with day-to-day life. They can also be very judgmental and controlling. Because of their want of control, they can be very stubborn as well as inflexible.

{ . Looks . }

All pictures are just reference.

Prospero began construction on the castle in 1693 at the old age of 69. He had help from his brothers (aged 66 and 62) as well as his 5 sons and 12 nephews. Their wives and daughters helped design the rooms and picked out the furniture. Being from a wealthy pureblood family, the Adeodatus children weren't hurting for funds and weren't left hurting after, either. It took him a few years to finish, but did by the time he turned 72, continuously expanding as the family got bigger and the school got more popular. The grounds are taken care of by the remnants of the Adeodatus bloodline. The Grand Entrance is pretty massive on its own (it is bigger than the picture, it is just for reference). In the middle of the floor is big replica of the Vecchio Montagna crest. At the top of the stairs, there is a balcony where the headmistress and heads of houses stand to watch the sorting ceremony, which happens on the floor below. There are four fountains in each corner of the room. One has a pegasus statue in the middle and spews blue water, one has a phoenix statue and spews red and orange water, the third has a dolphin statue and spews purple water, and the last has a wolf statue and spews brown water. Along the right wall of the floor is a wall of wands. After being sorted, the student will be directed to this wall to receive their wand. A wand will float down to them and they will test it. It might take a couple times to get it right. Directly under the balcony along the back wall are big double that lead to the great hall, classrooms, and other various rooms.Directly behind the balcony is a door that leads to the private quarters for the Headmistress and her family (nobody knows they're there except the staff), private quarters for the Deputy Headmaster/Headmistress, and private quarters for the Heads of Houses and Professors. To the left of the balcony are the doors to the Aria and Terra common rooms. To the right are the doors that lead to the Acqua and Fuoco common rooms. The Aria common room has pictures of pegasi, birds, and other flying animals (both magical and muggle) and a picture of Prospero above the fireplace. Acqua common room has pictures of dolphins, whales, and other sea creatures (both magical and muggle) and a portrait of Logain above the fireplace. The Terra common room has many pictures of animals like wolves and a portrait of Faegan over the fireplace. The Fuoco common room has many pictures of phoenixes and a portrait of Locasta hanging over the fireplace.

{ . Classes . }

Classes are just like Hogwarts (this WAS set up by a former Hogwarts student), except instead of Astronomy (the study of the universe and what it contains), they have Astrology (the study of how these effect human lives, like zodiacs). The classes you are required to take until your sixth year are Astrology, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, and Transfiguration. For your third year, you pick two of these electives: Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, Muggle Studies, and Study of Ancient Runes. Fifth year, you take your O.W.L.s to determine your future career. Sixth year, Alchemy opens up, but will only be provided if there are enough interested students. Apparition lessons are also provided, though these are free compared to Hogwarts. Also, 6 of the classes are taught by the Headmistress, Deputy Headmistress, and Heads of Houses.

{ . Sorting Ceremony Information and Example . }

Information

The sorting ceremony takes place in the Grand Entrance. The Headmistress, Deputy Headmistress, and Heads of Houses stand at the top balcony, looking down at the room. Professors will be standing in the room. In each corner stands a fountain, each representing the four houses. The one representing Aria has a pegasus in the middle of it, spewing out blue water. The one representing Fuoco has a phoenix in the middle, spewing out red and orange water. The one representing Acqua has a dolphin in the middle, spewing out purple water. The one representing Terra has a wolf in the middle, spewing out brown water. Once the Headmistress welcomes the students, she asks the students to stand along the back, front, and left walls. When she calls the student's name, they walk to the center of the room and stand on the crest. Once they stand on the crest, everyone is to remain silent and the fountains stop spewing out water. Once the student is determined, the given statue will start spouting water again and a patronus-like form of the animal of the house interacts with the student. Your Head of House will step forward and welcome you to the house. After this, they step over to the right wall to receive their wand.

Example

Once she was aware of the doors being shut behind the students, Carolina pointed her wand to her throat and cast Sonorous. "Good afternoon, everyone! Benvenuto a Vecchio Montagna Scuola di Stregonaria e Magia. Welcome to Vecchio Montagna, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My name is Carolina Olivarius, your Headmistress. And this," She motioned to the woman standing next to her. "Is _____, your Deputy Headmistress. These are your other heads of houses: ___, Head of Aria. ___ Head of Acqua. ---, head of Fuoco. And finally, ---, head of Terra." The students started mumbling to each other and she couldn't help but laugh in delight at their excitement.

"Now that we've got the boring stuff out of the way," Her eyes sparkled with laughter. "We must get you sorted. I must ask you to stand against the front, back, and left walls, please." Slowly, the students backed up and stood against the walls. "Brilliant! When I call your name, please step forward onto the crest and state your full name. The fountain will interact with you, so please don't be scared." She reached into her robes and pulled out a scroll. "Eleanora di Lecci!"

Eleanora walked swiftly towards the center of the room, focused on nothing but the crest and the 4 fountains. "Eleanora di Lecci." She was very interested in the process now and found it quite spectacular. She looked around as the fountains all died down and between the fountains, wondering which one would start up again. The one with the wolf in the center started back up and a spirit-like wolf shot out, running towards her. Once in front of her, the wolf bowed, then straightened up and howled.

The head of Terra stepped forward proudly, placing their hands on the railing of the balcony as he looked down at his new house member. "Eleanora di Lecci, benvenuto a Terra, where we stay grounded to our roots, goals, and dreams!"

{ . Wand Ceremony Information and Example . }

Information

Once a witch/wizard is sorted and welcomed into their house, they step over to the right wall to receive their wand. This wall has a massive shelf full of wands that are always restocked during the summer months. When the student steps up to the wall, a wand will float down to the witch or wizard. Once they retrieve the wand from the box, the student must point their wand in front of them and say their house color in Latin, which they will be told by their Head of House. For Aria, the student will say, "Colorem caeruleum!" Fuoco will be rubrum, Acqua will be purpureus, and Terra will be Brunneis. If the wand has chosen you, your wand will shoot out colored sparks akin to the colors of your house. If not, chaos will happen (lights flickering, accidentally coloring a tile black, sending out smoke, etc. When the student gets their wand, they must go over to a professor, who will inform them what their wand is. When all of the first years have been sorted and have their wands, the Custodes will lead their respective houses to their common rooms and show the first years their dorms. The Guardiano and Guardiana will follow their respective house, watching over the Custodes. The professors and Heads of Houses will head to their quarters until dinner. The Headmistress and Deputy Headmaster/Headmistress will stay in the Grand Entrance to shut the doors and triple check (and if need be, reinforce) the wards and charms on said doors.

Wand Ceremony Example

"Eleanora, please step up to the right wall where you see all of the wands." The student followed what her head of house said and once she stood in the middle of the wall, a wand floated down to her. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped, but the girl reached out and grabbed the box out of the air in front of her. She opened the box and saw a beautiful wand. She took it out, then looked at her Head of House, confused on what to do next. "Point the wand in front of you and say, 'Colorem Brunneis.'" The girl hesitated, but nodded and confidently held the wand in front of her.

"Colorem Brunneis." At first, nothing happened, but then an explosion came from the tip and shot out black smoke, causing the other students to jump. The head of Terra chuckled and cleared the smoke.

"It's alright. It happens to almost everyone. It just wasn't your wand. Put the wand back in the box and let go." The girl did as the head of house said and let it go. To her amazement, the box gracefully floated back to its space on the wall. Once it secured itself into space, another floated down. Determined, Eleanora took the wand out of the box and pointed it in front of her.

"Colorem Brunneis." This time, brown sparks flowed powerfully in front of her, earning an awed look from the little girl.

"Congratulations! Now that you have your wand, please head to any of the professors and they will tell you what your wand is." The girl excitedly looked around and locked eyes with a professor, heading over to her. The professor grinned, greeted her, then took the wand, looking it over carefully.

"Alder wood with a kelpie hair core, 9 1/2", reasonably supple."

{ . Welcoming Feast . }

At 6:00 pm, the students will be led to the Dining Hall. The Headmistress, Deputy Head Mistress, and the professors sit at a table in the front of the room. The heads of houses sit at the head of their respective house's table. Above each table will be a banner donning the house symbol, dictating where the students will sit. When the students are settled at their respective tables, the Headmistress will welcome them once again, then go into the school's rules. She will also address the patrolling schedules for the staff, guardiano, guardiana, and custodes as well as reminding the guardiano/a and custodes of their duties. Anything else she can think of will be stated, then she releases them to eat, which the food will appear on the table.

{ . Ministero della Magia Italia . }

The ministry is very much like the one in England, except it's hidden in the woods instead of being underground, since it is in a very remote part of Italy, far from the wandering muggles.

Carolina Rossi ↴
xxxxxxHeadmistress, Head Auror, DADA Professor
───────────────────────────────────

Tags: Everybody

At the front of the Mess Hall stood a woman. She had wavy, fiery red hair and equally as bright green eyes. Her eyes were scanning the room as the students filed into it, chatting excitedly as they made their way towards their tables. This woman was Carolina Rossi, the headmistress, Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and the Head Auror.

Carolina's morning had started out like any other. Got up at 6:30am, got dressed, then swept the grounds to make sure there were no intruders and to make sure the wards were still standing strong after chatting with her family for a bit. Of course, they were, but this helped the poor girl's frayed nerves. Ever since the attack at the ministero a year and a half ago, she had become even more paranoid than she already was. Then, she went back to prepare for the upcoming sorting and wand ceremonies, as well as prepare herself for the welcoming feast. The professors had all come down and she had chatted with them a bit to pass the time as they waited for the children to arrive.

When they did, Carolina had gone out to meet them, then brought them into the school. Now that the ceremonies were over, there they were, entering the mess hall to eat breakfast. She had taken to keeping her hands near her wand at all time, though it was now in its holster under her sleeve. So, with her hands clasped in front of her, she had a reason to be standing the way she was. She was already suspicious of one of her staff, Parker Nott. She had mentioned the name to her family and her family had seemed to react strangely to the name. This didn't help her suspicions whatsoever. She was also suspicious about one of her prized students, Sierra Barrows. The girl was a particularly gifted witch and Carolina was quite impressed with her skill, but there was something she was hiding. What? She didn't know.

For now, Carolina would wait as the students filed into the hall so she could start her speech.

Teddy Lupin, or as far as he knew his identity to be Theodore Wynters, was up pretty early. He needed to get himself down to where the other kids would be. Once he was up, he went over to the shower and washed off pretty quickly. Once he was washed and dressed, he stood in the mirror. He screwed up his nose and his hair turned sandy blond and his eyes hazel. Nope, not the disguise he was looking for. Once again, his hair and eyes changed color. This time to red hair and brown eyes. He sighed and screwed up his nose again. Too close to his family. His hair changed to black and his eyes to blue. He looked himself over in the mirror before changing his height a little to a smaller 5'10. Satisfied, he had ran out of his room, said goodbye to the family, and once outside the boundaries of the castle, he disapparated to the boat dock.

Nobody seemed to notice his arrival, so he was able to slip in pretty easily. A first year turned and looked at him. "Hello!" Teddy just grinned at the kids. "Hullo." He answered with a wave. Once that interaction was over, it was pretty smooth sailing to the boats. All of the kids seemed amazed at the massive body of water they had to cross to get to the castle and he couldn't blame them. He remembered seeing it for the first time and it was, for the lack of a better term, magical. Seeing the castle from the outside was incredible. He had only known the inside for so long and it was great to get a different point of view. So, because of this, despite how many times Teddy had gone undercover, he had appreciated this boat ride every single time.

The wand and sorting ceremonies went on as usual and to play the part of his character, he cheered loudly for anyone who was sorted into Fuoco. After the sorting ceremony and wand ceremony were done, Teddy made his away amongst the other Fuoco students to the hall for breakfast. So would begin his year as Vitale Ricci, seventh year Fuoco student.

She'd looked worse. She'd looked far worse then she did at this moment, this the teen knew though it did little to improve her mood.

Earlier a scowl had etched its way onto the fifteen year old's face as she stared at her reflection staring back at her from the mirror. For the most part the young teen didn't seem all that different then she had the previous year. She still had the same long brunette locks that would fade to have honey streaks if she stayed out in the sun long enough. Her eyes were still the same old shade of blue-grey. Her frame was still just as thin a d petite despite her growing a bit over her time being home again. Same complexion. Still clad in the same familiar comforting wizarding robes of silver and purple, the colors belonging to the house of the proud dolphin. The House of Water. Acqua. "Where we seek the depths of spirituality.", the brunette young witch muttered the phrase she had commited to memory in her first year attending Vecchio Montagna.

This year it was still the same school she would be returning to for another year of magical education as the only witch in her family. A fact that both her parents constantly reminded her of which installed the fifth year with both a huge amount of stress over what she typically started the school year with and pride. Both of which always managed to show themselves early on and never truly left her throughout the year. Lessen maybe if she was lucky or doing well, but never outright left as they tended to be much too stubborn to just leave her be. Ah well. By now the brunette was at least used to dealing with such feelings on a yearly basis so it wasn’t such a big deal. “It’s all fine. Same school. Same teachers. Same house. Same robes and colors.", the young witch spoke under her breath to nobody really as she trailed towards the back of the group of students. Blue-grey orbs travelling around the throng of students of all ages and years watching each one with a gaze that could put a alert Hippogriff to shame. And yet the silver and purple clad teen was still staring up at the inside structure of the grand castle in no less then total awe and reverence. This was her fifth time walking into the great hall in anticipation for the welcoming breakfast feast, but somehow this was always an experience that never seemed to get old for the young brunette. It was time again. That time that was both the witch in training's favorite and dreaded time of the year. That time where she once again had been called back to the school that was as if her second home from that which she shared with her parents. The ancient beloved castle she had come to recognize as perhaps the one place she could have any shred of real sense of belonging or acceptance. Or as safe and accepted away from home as was possible for her to feel anyway she corrected her thinking following the numerous other students into the great hall. It was only a matter of a few seconds in which the young brunette managed to locate a seat at the table bearing banners above it in colors matching her robe accents with a dolphin in the center.

XxxLeaning against one of the walls outside of the great dining hall, watching everyone file in, Ronan Draco Malone felt a wave of relief with an amusing undertone as he and some of his housemates scanned the crowd of new witches and wizards, as they joked amongst each other. Being elected as his house's custode, he knew he would have to be on much better behavior than he was in previous years, so he refrained from his usual comments regarding the female variety passing him by. Once everyone was inside, he followed after and took a seat at one of the Terra tables. Respectfully, Ronan kept quiet until a first-year was sorted into Terra, then he would howl and clap with the rest of his house, taking good note of the new faces, to better keep track of them, as if the brown robe accents wouldn't give them away. Once the ceremony had finished and breakfast began, he caught up with some of the other guys he hadn't yet talked to, at least he tried to concentrate as his icy blue gaze kept falling to a familiar pair of hazel eyes and long lashes.
XxxSierra Burrows. They had been in direct competition with each other since year one, it wasn't at all that he didn't like her... it was probably even the exact opposite when considering the psychology of a boy who had a crush on a girl, but as the years went on, his mean, teasing behavior slowed and turned more into that of a challenge. Baiting her when assignments were given so she would stress out, thinking she was behind, hinting at completed projects or progress in studying ahead, he enjoyed pushing her and she always wound up coming in even with him. When she started coming out ahead is when he began to push himself. How on earth was he supposed to compete with his partner custode? They were supposed to be working together, weren't they? Realizing he had been staring just a little too long, he smirked in her direction before looking down at his food before continuing the conversation with his table mates.

XxxSitting perched on the edge of one of the Terra tables,the young witch gently stroked the top of her cat's coat, who was sitting beside her atop the table. She was a beautiful black cat with long hair and golden eyes, a stray whom she had picked up the night of her sister's death. Her lungs felt as if they were icing over as she felt her mood darken, and breaths grow short and tight as she stared down at her cat. The memory was too fresh and it sucked her into an abyss that was lonely and so very empty. She was plagued to watch again and again as her sister's life drained from her body and the soul left the plane of existence. Sienna was her twin, her other half, and when she was killed when her family was sent to enact vengeance on a disloyal servant to the dark lord. She and Sienna were supposed to be learning, observing... but things went all wrong. First, her parents were murdered, one of the defectors took the bodies from the scene, and then, her sister was taken from her moments later, and though Breana hadn't been physically injured at all, a part of her had died that night. Her twin was murdered and she only got caught because she gave herself up to save Bree.
XxxThe defectors thought Sienna was alone that night, it didn't take long for them to clear the scene once they had cast her life out. Breanna couldn't leave her sister's side, once she had gotten there. Lowering herself into the mess of wilted leaves that swarmed the cold earth, Bree laid next to her sister, her side aching from the hard ground as she stared at Sienna's glossy eyes cast to the sky. Bree tried to keep her crying as quiet as she could, in fear the defectors would return. Occasionally, Bree would nudge her sister's lifeless body as if she would actually wake up from her endless sleep, but she had grown cold and stiff as death took over her body. Bree removed her hand from her sisters and just laid there until she fell asleep to the cold. She eventually woke to the sound of a loud, thunderous rumble on her chest, it was a black cat. The girl was startled, she felt her heart nearly jump from her chest as her eyes met with the cat's golden orbs.
XxxHad Breanna not always felt a strong connection with animals, she would have thrown the cat off in fear, but something inside her just made her feel like everything was going to be okay. Scooping the cat up from under her armpits, she held her as she sat up before setting the cat on her lap. "Where did you come from," Breanna said quietly, her memory echoing into the present time as she pet her cat with a soft and somber smile. That morning, she had taken the cat, who is now called Nyx, home before reporting to their foster parents what had happened, she and the cat had been inseparable ever since. Breanna knew it wasn't some weird transference of the soul, she wasn't sure if she believed in all of that, but she knew Nyx was looking out for her and so she would too, for Nyx
XxxLong, painted lashes fluttered as if she had awoken from the terrible flashback she often found herself stuck in, for once she was happy to have a professor in her face (open, feel free to put yourself here). The professor was snapping their fingers in her face, trying to get her attention, which was difficult to command to be fair. They reminded her of her not only that she shouldn't be sitting on the tables, regardless if there was food on them yet or not and that her uniform was needing some modification. Unfortunately for the professor, that was exactly her intention. This year, Bree was pushing the envelope on the uniform standards. Bree didn't bother to order a new skirt this year, one that would have been a bit longer to accommodate the length she had grown, so it barely covered her rear, which didn't bother her much, that was after all, what tights and stockings were for, weren't they? Her shirts from the previous year had still fit her from the lack of eating, she had developed a bit more in her bust, but what was one more button, unbuttoned? Her tie had been altered to be about half the width and loosely tied around her neck, falling just to the center of her cleavage. She was, of course, wearing her Terra Robe over top, so who really would have cared? Her Black shoes, however, had been replaced by a comfy but stylish pair of black heels.
XxxBree's eyes rolled as she conceded her place on the tabletop, clicking her tongue to signal Nyx to get down as well. As Bree took her place in an actual seat, Nyx just under her, she smiled innocently up at the professor before they retreated as the headmistress signaled the sorting ceremony was to begin. Things seemed to move faster than usual, before she knew it, Bree was just wishing she could summon up a mimosa to go with her breakfast, but rules were rules.

XxxBright eyes gazed around the room, periodically changing shades of blue and purple as her mood seemed to shift with each passing second. She was delighted to be here, this was her home... but still, she felt so alone. Juniper was slowly growing more attached to the magical world, as her skills and abilities honed in, and the more her father pushed her away, the further she felt from the rest of her family. Don't use magic around your sisters. Stop being lazy and do your chores like a normal human. Why do you have to be so strange? Her father's words hurt- but it hurt even more than her mother didn't defend her, and that her sisters were probably starting to believe him. This year would be all about creating the life that she wanted. The only trouble was, finding it in herself to be strong enough to last that long.
XxxJuni greeted all of the first years as they came and sat down, trying to be welcoming and inviting, as an upperclassman once did for her. Once everyone was seated, breakfast began, causing the noise to elevate in the room, giving her a slightly heightened sense of anxiety. Reaching up, Juniper pushed her aqua-colored curls back behind her right ear before touching the unicorn pendant on her necklace. Her mother had bought it for her when she heard of the house she was sorted into. Feeling a sense of peace, Juniper dropped her hand back to her utensils and continued eating her breakfast, hoping to keep the negative thoughts at bay.

It was finally the day, the day she could finally return to Vecchio Montagna. The summer had been chaotic, ever since her adoptive family left her they never really returned her to the orphanage so after her first year was over she was out on the streets, Of course, the ministry knew of these things, so they arranged for her to go to a magical orphanage in order to get adopted by a magical family. Some part of her held on to that hope, but she was hurt. She didn't want to go through that ever again, so she laid low in the orphanage for a couple years.

Once she was old enough, she had tried to get emancipated but that required getting her birth certificate which the orphanage refused to give her, so she had no option but to run away. The first time she ran off she was 15, she spent her time doing whatever she could to earn a bit of money to buy food. Nothing big had really changed, Sierra's summer had been spent delivering newspapers eating barely any food since she could barely afford any and sleeping wherever she could. She knew the town like the back of her hand.

Sitting up from her sleeping position she stretched her arms, she had been sleeping in a shed in someone's back yard. The person who owned the property was an old lady in a wheelchair who couldn't get down from her porch, so she never went in the shed.

Packing everything up in her bag she was finally ready to leave, she piked up her bag and began to make her way into the street. She had been saving up for her return to Vecchio Montagna, none of the teachers could know that she had ran off so she always came back with a new outfit to make it seem like she was still at the orphanage. She headed over to a local gym where she held a membership, she never really used it for exercise it was more or less because of the showers and the complimentary water bottles.

She got into the bathroom putting her bag on the floor looking at herself in the mirror studying her face closely. She had lost a few pounds, courtesy of the dietary restrictions of making a couple euros a week. I wasn't too bad this year, she had definitely had worse. She felt way worse than she looked, her stomach was killing her. She hadn't eaten in a couple days since she had to pay the gym membership again. Once she was out of the shower she got dressed into a brown sweater and a a plaid brown skirt putting on a golden necklace as an accessory. She blow dried her hair into waves and then proceeded to apply some makeup. It really worked a miracle, she didn't look so sick anymore. Plus give it a couple days at Vecchio Montagna and a healing potion and she'd be back to her usual health. About half an hour later Sierra finally made it to the ship dock, watching all of the parents with their children made her stomach turn, she kept her gaze down and got in the boat, looking up at the castle as they approached.

Once inside they all walked into the hall Sierra took a seat at the Terra table as she waited for the sorting ceremony to start. She looked over as the headmistress started to sort all of the first years. She had never shown as much enthusiasm as her other housemates did when first years got sorted, she'd just sit quietly or occasionally just clap. Once the ceremony was done the feast started, even though she was starving she grabbed herself a small plate, she didn't want to raise any suspicion and she knew from past experience not to eat too much after you haven't eaten for a while. She looked up from her plate feeling like someone was looking at her. Hey eyes met with those of Ronan Malone, he had picked on her their first year for not knowing as much about the wizarding world as others did, always pointing out that she'd never be able to catch up. No matter what Sierra was always quick to prove him wrong. Even though at first it was a difficult challenge she always came out with perfect scores, as the years passed she learned as much about the wizarding world as she could, without having to catch up on knowledge she quickly started coming ahead of all of her classmates, including Ronan. She rolled her eyes as he smirked over at her, concentrating back on eating her food.

Dante stared at his ceiling fan as the sun enlightened the room. It was his last year at Vecchio Montagna and this would be the last time in his bedroom. He didn't plan on coming home after he graduated. He stood up from his bed and headed into the bathroom to take a cold shower, once he was done he came back to his room and changed into some clothes. He then took out his bag and began to pack, really he should have been packed since yesterday but its not like he was taking much with him, only the necessities.

Once he was packed he got Hot Chip's carrier ready, giving him some worms before putting him in. The dragon toad absolutely hated going on the boat, but with the right amount of worm negotiation, anything was possible. He heard his mother's voice calling them down for breakfast. He closed Hot Chip's carrier and made his way downstairs to the kitchen. His father was already there lecturing his younger sibling about making sure he got into Fuoco. He couldn't help to notice the absolute face of Terror his brother had, he gave him a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. "I wouldn't sweat it too much kid, I'm sure you're Fuoco material" he said smiling down at him. Next thing he knew he was against the wall the collar of his shirt being held by his father.

"Who do you think you are to be talking over me? Seven years and you are nothing but mediocre, your sister has a better grade than you in potions, what have you brought to this family?" The two kept a tense eye contact but Dante knew better than to try to argue at this point. "Honey he is still in the top of his class he's been trying he's a custode now." His mother tried to defend him but a quick glare by his father was enough to have her turn around and continue to wash the dishes.

Eventually his father let go and they had a rather quiet breakfast. After breakfast it was time to go, he went upstairs to get all of his things and load them up in the car. He sat in the backseat with his other two siblings that were also attending Vecchio Montagna, the ride was full of his dad reminding them of the Leveret legacy and how it was their born duty to keep up with it. When they got to the docks everything went as usual, his mother said their goodbye's with teary eyes and wished them well. Dante just stood there waiting to advance with his siblings, he wanted to make sure he was with his younger brother so he could orient him better on the way to Vecchio Montagna and hopefully ease his mind. Before he walked away a tight grip was put on his shoulder, a little too tight. It hurt, and of course it was his father. "You better finish this year with a title to your head if you want to come back" he said into Dante's ear. No worries, he wouldn't be coming back "Understood, Sir" he said and made his way with his siblings into the boat.

During the boat ride he reassured his brother that he would make it into Fuoco, he had all the right characteristics. Once they got off the boat and into the castle Dante sat at the Fuoco table, waiting anxiously for the sorting ceremony to start. For his brother's sake he hoped he got into Fuoco, but no matter what Dante would support him. He watched as his brother stepped on the crest, Dante felt a weight lift off his shoulders when he was announced into Fuoco, cheering loudly Dante welcomed his brother into the house. Once the feast started, he began to dig in to the food as he caught up with the rest of the quidditch team.

Making sure his tie was firm he walked over to his desk opening a journal, the pages were blank. He held his wand up to it and murmured a charm, letters began to appear on the pages. A list of students he had been keeping his eyes on, all of the purebloods were worth a shot especially most of the 7th years like Ronan Malone and Dante Leveret. He had to work hard this year to at least get some 7th years on his side, they would be graduating which meant that they could leave and join the death eaters, come back and help take over the school.

It would be a long process, unless he found some dire information that would get him the backup of the death eaters. But everything in this school seemed to be pretty quiet so far. Making his way to the dining hall he watched observantly as the students made their way in, time to put up the act. He let out a bright smile as he waved to the kids going in. Parting ways to enter the dining hall through another entrance to enter over by where the rest of the professors were supposed to go.

Taking a seat in his chair he looked around at the other professors and smiled at them. Lorenza was there, she was... well if she had gone to hogwarts he would bet all of his belongings that she would be in hufflepuff. Looking around the headmistress was also already there, which was expected of course.

Lorenza had already been up for a while, she had tea brewing as she was deciding what to do with her hair, unsure if she should leave it in loose curls or straighten it. She was slightly tempted to do a reading to see if it would give her any hints. She always preached that divination was a serious matter, but sometimes it came in handy in simple situations.

Pouring a cup of tea she blew on it gently as she stared out of the window looking at the sky. As a thought rushed into her head a tiny gasp escaped her mouth as she put the cup of tea down. Walking over to her wardrobe she opened the doors, it appeared to be almost empty but with a clap of her hands it opened up. She had a magical endless wardrobe, which came in handy for a girl like her who had a slight shopping addiction.

Putting on a white blouse and plaid pants she returned back to her tea, upon closer inspection it looked like she would be leaving her hair in loose curls. Lorenza made her way out of her room and over to the dining hall where the students had started to come in. She smiled over at Parker who had also entered, then looked over to Carolina approaching her. "Someone looks stressed" she chriped with a smile. "You should have stopped by my room, I could have brewed you some calming tea"

Dario Agosti l Flying Professor, Quidditch Coach, Head of Aria l location - great hall l tagged -
A sigh escaped the man as he ran a hand through his dark hair and adjusting his tie. He didn’t have the time to change into the robes he typically wore thanks to having just come from a rather important meeting with some muggle CEOs of some fortune companies. Well plus a law firm which wasn’t a personal favourite of the man’s to handle but one he always insisted on dealing with all matters as personal matters just the same for that very reason. Though his tie was split in the colors of rich blue and night sky black just like the rest of his suit. The wizard taking every opportunity he could, both in the magical world and muggle, to display the pride he felt for his house as though he were a student himself again. Suits typically black with collar shirts underneath in varying shades of blue. The regal, proud pegasus's figure adorned the Agosti home as well as his work place. The house’s motto of “Dove il cielo è il limite” likewise had front and center locations scattered about to complete the announcement to both worlds that he, Dario Agosti, was very happily an Aria member.

It also had the added bonus of keeping his mostly Terra family away from his work but that was completely unplanned if you asked him.

As Dario made his way up the middle of the already filled and rather noisy, rambunctious great hall for the start of term breakfast feast, he allowed his eyes to drift over the packed hall. He’d been present for the ceremony involving the sorting of new students of course and with that done now it was time to celebrate the new crop as well as those which returned for another year. As usual the professor’s first objective was to always search the crowds of students for his pegasi foals. A task which then was split further in separating the familiar faces he had come to know well over the years from the new ones which would continue to carry his house onwards. Dario’s second task was going through the entire hall to locate his Quidditch Players from each of the four houses, something that proved a bit more daunting for the sheer more number of students and specific faces he was searching for.

Reaching the front of the hall, Dario stopped briefly to offer Lorenza and Carolina a bow before turning and heading for the table bearing Aria’s familiar banner hanging above it. Upon reaching it he proceeded to take a seat at the head of the table full of chattering students. Several acknowledged him as he sat but most were far too busy with the feast and each other to notice him sitting there. Not that he minded. Quite the opposite. It pleased him. Dario toyed with the intricate silver ring on his finger while watching the students and waiting for the Headmisstress to speak.
