I awoke that morning, I had broken a cold sweat overnight. Sighing, I looked down at Selene, sleeping peacefully in her cage. I slowly changed into my usual clothes and pulled over my black cloak, and made my way down towards the Great Hall for breakfast, with my things for my classes. I kept wondering if they would have any classes from Hogwarts....I finally told myself 'pretty much', and I was there.

I chose my breakfast quietly, glaring evily at the eggs and orange juice. I sat down with what I chose: milk, toast, and a strip or two of bacon....staring at my list of classes carefully, I ate slowly, reading that there was no timetable, really. Gazing down the list of my classes, I decided to go to Defense Against the Dark Arts first. I quickly finished my breakfast, and gathered my things.

"Well....I guess I'm of to my first class in Aortas...." I told myself, and slowly walked towards DATDA...

Shilan-Torignis
------------------------
Shilan walked quietly out of the shower. He didn't want to wake up anybody else. With a lazy wave of his wand, his hair dried, falling into place over his eyes. He buttoned up his robes, and left the common room, checking his schedule. Survival Training, double Offensive Magic in the morning. They're wasting no time getting started apparently he thought to himself, as he walked quickly to breakfast. He plopped down at the edge of the table. The sun beat down through the windows, causing the usual naseua(bah, can't spell) and skin-tingling that Shilan always had in bright sunlight. One of the major disadvantages of being part vampire. He moved to a chair where a pillar blocked most of the light. He wished he'd brought his sunglasses with him, but no matter. He quickly scarfed down some eggs and toast. He hardly noticed two people, one of them Ajax, running past the hall toward the hospital wing. He walked outside toward Survival Training.
"Welcome to Survival Training," said Professor Sarantosa, a tall, rugged looking woman with long straight black hair, pale waxy skin, dark eyes, and a couple scars on her face. Shilan thought she had some vampire blood in her, "Survival Training may be one of the most difficult subjects in this school for you, or one of the simplest. Books are not much use here. As it is also my job to prepare you for the Stealth and Tracking part of Auror training, we will start with a basic spell most often used to cover up footprints, the Obliteration Charm..."

[Light_Togetic]

Okay, I'll start off the Dark Arts class! ^^

Oh yes, and "Bye" to RazorLeaf, and whoever else just left, and "Hello!" to crimson_flygon.

When Larien and I had finished our beakfasts, we headed out to our DATDA class.

"Well, what do you think it'll be like?" I asked Larien, looking a bit anxious. The Dark Arts had always kinda scared me, though I'd never like to admit it. I figured the only way to overcome my fear would be to train as an Auror, that way the Dark Arts wouldn't be such a mystery, and I would have some knowhow to combat them with.

"I don't know," Larien answered, "Like Hogwarts I expect..."

She didn't look convinced of her own words, and neither did I.

But as we walked into the odd room that was our classroom, I spied a somewhat familiar face. Our Professor strongly reminded me of Professor Flitwick. They must have been the same species. Unlike Flitwick though, his hair was a blue color, and his robes were a blackish color with a golden sash. HIs long beard seemed very friendly to me for some odd reason. Then I figured it out. He made me think of Santa Claus! I giggled, picturing my new Professor in red robes with a white sash.

Larien stared at me. "What is it?" she asked curiously.

"Huh? Uh... nothing," I said, forcing my giggles to subside.

"Welcome to Aortas students!" the Professor said as he stood up. Like Professor Flitwick, he too had to use things to stand on, so that he could be above the whole group.

"My name is Professor Felcorn Fissletong. And I hope that the things we learn in this class will help you to better youknowledge and understanding of both the Dark Arts, and ways to help yourself when you all become great and powerful Aurors."

The class quieted as everyone pictured the day they would all be official Aurors.

"Now, this class is a bit more intense than the regular Dark Arts class at Hogwarts that you're all used to. We will be using much more practical magic. And it will work nicely with your other Auror classes. In fact, I believe that the more we intergrate our classes, the more all of you will get better at your Auror skills."

He then began to go on about the lesson plans for the coming days, and the class began to lose interest a bit. Listening intently, I realized that this class was going to require a lot of homework...

"Sounds like a lot of homework doesn't it?" whispered Larien.

"...You took the words right out of my mind..." I said, getting my quill out and ready for taking notes.

"I'm starting to worry about Sheila," said Celia after what had seemed to be an eternity of awkward silence. I looked up from my plate of now almost finished french toast and turned to Celia, her blue eyes sparkling, but not in a good way; she looked troubled.

"She said she just forgot something..." I told her, although I didn't full believe that she was all right; she HAD been gone for a long time.

"I know, but regardless of what she needed, it couldn't have taken her this long," she said, eyes now wide. "I mean, our Common Room is pretty close..." she trailed off as she stood up, and she grabbed my arm, pausing for a second as if just realizing what she had done. Reluctantly but concerned, I left the Great Hall with her, and we sprinted back to the Common Room. We clambered through the hole behind the Phoenix which had sprung to life as we simultaneously shouted 'Butterbeer!' at it, but much to our dismay, we found no trace of her.

"I'll check the girls' dormitories," Celia told me hopefully, but as she ran back down the stairs a few seconds later, her face said it all. Sheila wasn't there, nor had she been since she left for breakfast. As we climbed back out of the hole behind the Phoenix, Celia just dropped to the ground and appeared to be incredibly worried yet deep in thought at the same time.

"Come on now, get up," I told her, extending my arm and lifting her off the ground. "Now, we've got to find her, but we can't do it like this, sitting here," I said reassuringly. She looked up into my eyes, and stared for a moment. Her mouth curled up into what seemed to be grin, but not a happy one; more of a determined look.

"Yeah, you're right," she said softly, brushing a rogue strand of silky hair behind her ear with her hand. We started looking again, this time moving a bit slower; we couldn't afford to overlook anything. As we came to the entrance of the school and the exit to the grounds, Celia stopped dead in her tracks, pointing at the ground in front of her, her other hand over her mouth; Sheila was lying eagle-spread on the ground, shaking, as if she was having a convulsion.

"Are you okay?" I asked her, Celia's eyes beginning to tear; Sheila opened her mouth slightly, but only for a short second, as if she couldn't muster the strength to get so much as one word out.

"We really have to get her to the Hospital Wing, and quickly," Celia said warily, wiping the tears from her eyes. I picked Sheila up, who had stopped shaking and seemed to have been either unconscious or sleeping, and we hurried around the school, searching and searching, until we finally found the Hospital Wing. The nurse, who had been sitting at her desk, sprang up and shuffled along the floor to us, and dragged me by the arm to an empty bed, where I placed Sheila. I looked back at the woman; she was very similar to Madam Promfrey, but upon closer examination I noticed her nametag, which read 'Madam Mershwin'. She pointed her wand at a cabinet on the opposite wall in the corner, and it opened, allowing for a corked crystal phial full of a pale yellow liquid to soar into her hand; she yanked the cork off and poured some of the liquid into her cupped hand, and rubbed it along Sheila's forehead. It glowed brightly for a moment, and then it completely vanished.

"She's suffering from a severe case of shock," Madam Mershwin told us, corking the phial and bringing it back to the cabinet. "Nothing too serious, though," she assured us with a weak smile, as we stood by Sheila's bedside. "She should remain here for a few days, but not much more than that," she explained, with a sidewards glance at her clock.

"Goodness me," she gasped, and she turned her attention back onto us. "You really must get going; I daresay you'll want to be on time for your first class," she told us as she practically shooed us out the door. "And don't worry about your friend," she added, "I can assure you that no further harm will come to her while she's in my care." And with that, she closed the door. Celia and I exchanged a few sighs of relief, and a few moments of awkward silence followed, Celia once again staring into my eyes, her hair fanning out behind her in the windless corridor. 'What is it about her,' I asked myself, That I just can't figure out...it's like it's right under my nose, but I just can't believe it or something.' Coming back to reality, I smiled weakly, and pulled my schedule from my pocket.

"Let's see...well, Survival Training's first on the list. Shall we?" I asked her, now smiling, as I held out my arm for her to grab.

"We shall," she answered, now giggling, as we headed back to the main entrance and out the doors, and we already saw a small crowd standing around a tall, beautiful, yet fierce looking witch, whose hair was fanning out behind her, although the air was still. I looked at her, and then looked at Celia, and then at the witch again, then at Celia...there was something about them both...both beautiful...fanning hair...'Wait a minute,' I said to myself, 'Their hair...but what does...' I stopped for a moment, and felt my own hair. Although fairly short, it still swayed around as if a mountain breeze was present, and I finally made the connection...Veela. It all made sense now...why I felt so intimidated by her (I've never really been too nervous around people), why there was something so similar about her...I chose not to say anything, though; if she wasn't ready to tell me, I wouldn't mention it to her...after all, I wasn't exactly ready to tell her I was half Veela either, although now that I knew she too was one, I was much more comfortable about it. As we got closer to the crowd of people, the Veela in the center spoke up, so that we could hear her without coming any closer.

"Why..." she asked, angrily, "Are you late?"

"Well, you see..." Celia began, but the teacher held up her hand.

"No excuses. Please join the others; I was about to start the first lesson," she snapped, but she paused for a moment, staring at the both of us for a moment. "Are you...?" she began, but she quickly stopped herself. "Quickly, now!" she added, and we joined the other students with no further hesitation (I mouthed a 'Hello' to Shilan); we were shocked that we had not had any points taken from us. "As I was saying, before we were interrupted..." she glared at us for a moment, but her expression was more quizzical than angry; I had a feeling she suspected the fact we were, in fact, part Veela, or even fully Veela in Celia's case; she most certainly was beautiful enough. The witch continued.

"I am Professor Serepta Santosa, and I will be your Survival Training teacher, as well as your Potions teacher. Survival Training may be one of the most difficult subjects in this school for you, or one of the simplest. Books are not much use here." she announced this all very clearly and loudly, and everyone around her was silent. "I expect you to perform to the best of your ability at all times. Fooling around and slacking will NOT be tolerated," she shouted, and continued. "Now, let us begin...today, we shall begin with a basic lesson in stealth, and we shall be practicing the Obliteration Charm, which is most often used for removing footprints, but is also very useful in a variety of other situations."

I sighed for a moment, and myself and Celia partnered up, taking turns running across the grounds and zapping away each other's footprints; it was surprsingly easy, and I knew that I would do just fine at Aortas.

---------------------

OOC: Apparently taken aback by all the events happening so far, and due to the fact that he just can't see Akina, Ajax hasn't been thinking about her much. Let's see how they try to maintain a relationship when they're hardly ever together...

Quin, Avyianne and I entered the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and found three adjacent seats somewhere at the end of the classroom. A short little teacher who looked a lot like Professor Flitwick back at Hogwarts cleared his throat and began to speak. He introduced him as Professor Fissletong and started to give us the lesson plan for the next few days. Quickly taking out my parchment and quill, I began copying down the notes he continuously flicked onto the board with his wand.

After what felt like 15 minutes of note-copying, he stopped, cleared his throat and said, "Alright. As I have announced earlier, this class will be very practical-based. So right now, I will be teaching you a simple Shield Charm. At this level, the Shield Charm should be easy enough to cast and it will be very useful as an Auror." He glanced around the class as if searching for someone. "Ah... You there, Mr Druid, I believe. Come up here." Professor Fissletong finally said. I looked over to Quin and he gave me a puzzled look followed by a little shrug. He walked up to the front of the classroom and stood next to Professor Fissletong. Next to each other, Quin looked pretty much like a giant and towered over the professor. "Good, now Mr. Druid, stand over there and cast your best Knockback Jinx on me and I shall demonstrate the Sheild Charm to the class." he said. Quin took a few steps back and stood in a ready position with his wand out in front of him. Flicking his wand hard, Quin yelled, "Fillipendo!" As he did so, a ball of amber light charged towards Professor Fissletong. "Protego!" yelled Professor Fissletong as the spell was inches from him. Immediately, the ball of light bounced off what seemed like an invisible wall and headed back towards Quin, twice as fast. But Quin's wand skill was too fast. He flicked his wand hard again and yelled back, "Protego!" The dazzling display of the ball of light bouncing back and forth ended when Professor Fissletong fell of the pile of books he was standing on and landed on the ground with a thud. As he got up and back onto the pile of books, he said, "That's amazing, Mr Druid. Exceptional wand work. I know of few Aurors who can deflect an already deflected attack. Excellent job, Mr. Druid. 10 points to Endriago!"

Avyianne and I erupted into appaluase as Quin strode back to his seat, beaming widely at us. Professor Fissletong then told us to practice the wand movements of the Shield Charm at our desks. At the last 5 minutes of the lesson, he allowed us to use Knockback jinxes on each other and we tried to deflect the attacks with a Shield Charm.

"Everyone, read Chapter 1 of Advanced Skills in Defence Against the Dark Arts and write a 10 inch long essay on the uses of the Shield Charm and how to cast it. That will be all for today. Thank you, class." said Professor Fissletong as the class ended. I grabbed up book, parchment and quill and shoved them into my bag. Groaning at the homework already set on the first day of school, Quin, Avyianne and I hurried out of the classroom and to the next class; Offence Magic.

Shilan-Torignis
---------------------------
Shilan sighed, easily wiping his footprints with a wave of his wand and muttering, "Oblivio". A couple people seemed to be having trouble, only able to wipe a few prints. Professor Sarantosa was walking around with a seemingly permenant scowl on her face. Instead of being helpful, her mouth went thin and she stared daggers into the people having trouble. Some of them went pale, one even started whimpering. When she walked up to Shilan, she searched the ground intently, and stalked away to Ajax and Celia. Shilan noticed she had a bad impression of them because they showed up late; her mouth was twitching and her eyes narrowed. Well, at least she's better than Snape thought Shilan, remembering how Snape would always whisper snide remarks about Shilan during every potions lesson. Nevertheless, Shilan was drastically relieved when the lesson ended.
"Homework! Give me a short paragraph on casting the Obliteration Charm and read up on Disillusionment Charms. Get ready, because you'll be having your first practical survival... test on sunday," Sarantosa said just as the bell rang, adding a look that plainly said "which I doubt some of you will survive..."
Shilan followed Ajax and Celia back up to the castle.
"She's evil, that one," Shilan said,
"Definitely. You see that look she gave me during that class? She looked like she was inches from strangling me," Ajax replied
Celia stared blankly up toward the castle,
"Double Offensive Magic with the Endriago's next," she said absentmindedly
"Well, it should be better than that survival training junk," Shilan replied.

It was a fun class as Elizabeth and I tried the shield charm. Everything went fine until Elizabeth couldn't put the shield up in time and dodged as the ball of amber light slammed into a bookcase, causing some of the books to catch fire. Luckily enough, Professor Fissletong rushed over to the fire quickly and expelled water out of his wand to extinguish the fire. Glaring up at us, he gave us a look before becoming intimidated by our height and rushed away to climb back onto his stack of books to end the class, which were formerly knocked over. Issued a 10-inch essay on the Shield Charm and to read Chapter 1 in our books for tonight, we gathered up our things and headed for Double Offence Magic with Torignis.
"Darn, homework on our first day", I complained to Elizabeth as we gathered up our stuff and headed towards the next class. As she agreed with a nod, my thoughts started to stray on the Druid kid, or Quin as his friends called him. He looked a bit off to me. Maybe he has something to hide, I thought as he passed. He gave me a fleeting look but it looked like he flinched for a second but I wasn't too positive as he turned his head back around. I glanced over at Elizabeth and felt the same thing. It seemed that with some people, I felt something that others couldn't, a sense that they were keeping a secret only they in this school knew. I knew Elizabeth was hiding something from me. I could sense if from the day we met, especially after I asked if she was something besides a human. I just shook my head and banished the thoughts for now as we went inside the classroom and sat in the middle row. If she had something to hide, she would tell me soon enough.

Zephyr Remus Potter (Endriago)
------------------------------

As the three of us entered the Offence magic classroom, I was completely surprised by the look of the classroom. Judging by the awed look on Quin and Avyianne's faces, I guessed they were just as shocked. The classroom was twice as large as the normal classrooms. The front half of the class housed a long horizontal raised platform spanning from right to left. It reminded me of the platform Professor Lockhart and Professor Snape used for the Duelling Club in our second year. It was made of finely laquered wood and had beautiful designed patterns running along the side and on the top of the platform. The other half of the classroom was fairly empty save for the few scattered chairs all over the place. Quin, Avyianne and I found seats close to each other and gazed at the tall man standing in the center of the platform. More students filed into the classroom and soon it became quite packed. I looked into the teacher's steely grey eyes and suddenly a recent memory flashed by. He was the same person who grabbed at me along Diagon Alley not too long ago. He was also the teacher I had recognised on the first day of school. He did not break his eye contact from me and I could feel something drilling into my mind. I tried to look away but I could not. A searing pain shot up the back of my head and I jerked my head away from his gaze. As I rubbed the back of my head, glaring at him, the teacher cleared his throat and spoke.

"Welcome to Offence Magic class. I am Professor Kai and I shall be teaching you some offensive spells which I hope you may use when you become an auror. I know you have learnt quite a few charms from Defence of the Dark Arts class but I assure you the spells I will teach you are far more useful and difficult to master. Now, put your wands away." There were many reluctant groans as that last sentence had become our least favourite phrase through last year's lessons with Umbridge. Shoving my wand unwillingly deep into my bag I turned, and looked up at Professor Kai again.

"Now everyone, move to the front of the class. As close to the platform as possible." I placed my bag onto the floor and shuffled to the front of the class. Then, Professor Kai waved his wand and a noisy clanking sound was heard behind us. Turning behind, I noticed all our bags had been moved to the back of the class.

"Let's start from the basics. The most important possesion you need while battling is your wand. However, your wand merely channels the natural magical powers each of you posess. In our first lesson, we'll learn how to retrieve your wand using your natural magic powers. I must warn you, this will not be easy as few wizards ever learn this ability. Thrust out your hand and call for your wand. Like this." said Professor Kai as he flung out his palm as if asking for something. "Wand!" he yelled. With a loud puff of smoke, a wand appeared in his once empty hand. "Now you try it. Remember to focus."

Feeling very silly, I thrust out my palm and echoed his words, "Wand!" Suddenly, I felt something poke the back of my hand. A small lump started to grow in the center of my palm and soon, the from the lump and smooth small head of wood could be seen. Using my fingers of the other hand I slowly and painfully pulled out what was my wand. Quin gave me a look of utter shock and Professor Kai frowned at me.

"Alright. Enough. You shall practice that after class. Now, for a simple spell. In this class, you'll be learning how to attack each other using spells and I can't have you unconcious for the rest of the day, now can I? Using the Shield Charm also wouldn't work. Thus, you will need to learn the Parrying Spell. It's rather useless in normal battles but it's neccessary in this class. You, there. Come up onto the platform. A Torignis student whom I had never seen before stepped onto the stage and faced Professor Kai.

"Hit me with your best spell," demanded Professor Kai, adjusting his wand into position. "Expelliarmus!" the student yelled. With a clever flick of his wand, Professor Kai shouted, "Perrio!" and the great silvery tuff of smoke burst out between them. "Good job. That'll be 10 points for Torignis. I'm surprised your Disarming Spell is up to standard. Everyone, get a partner and start practicing the Parrying Spell...

[Light_Togetic]

Professor Kai had told us all to split up in pairs to practice the Perrie Spell.

Larien looked at me, "Here we go again."

I smiled nervously, "Uh yeah... hopefully I don't mess up..."

"Well, at least it was exciting," said Larien, attempting to make me feel better.

I sighed, and then began to practice my spell versus Larien's Disarming Charm. At first I was doing fine... until I remembered that the full moon was coming soon, accidently said, "Peckie!", and and my wand transformed a boy's mouth into a beak!

"Uh.... I'm so sorry!" I said, rushing over.

"I just kinda got nervous...." I said shakily, "I mess up when I get nervous...."

Larien had to fight back giggles, and Professor Kai raced over.

"Wha? Oh, well, I'd better change him back..." said Professor Kai, closely examining the boy's new beak. He asked the boy if he could speak from the beak, but when he did, all that came out was a high-pitched chirp...

'Oh great,' I thought, 'I'll be the only Auror that stumps her foes with accidently turning their mouths into beaks...'

After class was over, Larien and I were walking through the hallways.

"It's okay," she said, seeing my saddened expression, "I'm sure that boy'll forget all about it!"

"Yeah..." I said sulkily, "And I was getting the hang of it too..."

Larien looked at me curiously, "You were... so what made you so nervous anyway?"

"Uh..." I said, beginning to feel nervous, "Well, I just thought... that well, I... I don't know! Isn't that funny? I must have forgot!"

She looked at me with a funny look, probably guessing I was lying...

"H.. Hey! There's lunch!" I said, even more nervously, racing over to the table, and starting to eat my salad.

Jade- Eldriago
**************************************

Waking late as usual I tumbled out of bed to the sound of my mother's voice calling me to breakfast. "Jade, darling come on! Your food will be cold shortly and Geoff will be here any minute........" I ran to the door of my room calling down the stairs In a minute mother, I still have to shower! If Geoff shows up tell him I'll be down momentarily! It was always the same my mother fussing at me to please be on time it isn't good for a young lady to always be late! I showered in record time pulling on my favorite pair of jeans, white t-shirt and flip flops and coming my hair as I hurried to the door calling behind me Come on Boo let's go eat! Boo my 2 year old calico cat raised his head, stretched, and promptly recurled to fall back asleep. Racing over I scooped him from the bed as turned and hurried down stairs. Sure enough Geoff had arrived and was hungrily scarfing down my mother's pancakes mumbling his usual hello around a mouthful of food. Morning Daddy I said as I put Boo on the floor, kissing my father's cheek. All of the sudden a huge gust of wind blew the shutters of our kitchen window wide open and with it came a white owl who rather clumsily skidded its way across the breakfast table before coming to rest in front of me. What's that thing? came Geoff's reply as he laughed at the antics of the bird. I looked at the bird and then my father thinking maybe it was one of his many creatures he frequently had hanging around the house. Daddy is this a friend of your's? I asked scooping the bird from the table and perching it on the back of a vacant chair. Not this time dear! came my father's laughing reply. But look it has something attached to his leg, like a letter or something! reaching over my father untied the parchment and opened it:

Dear Jade Sapphire Reese,

I am proud to announce your acceptance into Aortas Auror Academy. Please find below the list of classes, teachers, and activities being offered. We ask that you arrive on time one week before classes begin to aclimate yourself with the campus, and its surroundings..........

My mind went blank as my father continued to read! I had applied for Aortas Academy many months back never dreaming I'd be accepted, and now here it was my official letter! My heart raced and soared......... And promptly fell as I realized just what that truely meant! I'd be leaving home for a whole year to study at the academy. I'd have to leave Geoff behind who was not only my best friend but almost like a brother........... I'd never been away from home for more than a week at a time, what was I going to do?? What if my classmates didn't like me?? What if I failed all my classes?????

My father's voice brought me out of my knightmare...... Jade my girl you did it! You've been accepted! You are going to Aortas Academy! I looked around the room as everyone smiled or in the case of my mother beamed at me! I felt my insides begin to return to normal and my breath returned to my body as I laughed and hugged Boo who had jumped up in the chair to investigate our visitor. Boo, can you believe it we're going to Aortas Academy!

The next few days were filled with much activity as my parents, Geoff and I traveled to the alley to get the books and supplies I'd need, and of course my very first wand! My parents argued over what I needed and what would be essential to my training while Geoff and I wandered picking books, and other must haves for school.

Finally, the day arrived for me to leave and I was terrified! Boo was safely stored in his carrier and it and my luggage was perched precariously on a dolly meandering its way behind my father who in true parent fashion wanted to make sure I made my train, and that I'd be safe, and all of the other thousands of things a parent worries about when their baby leaves the nest for the first time. Geoff and I walked slowly behind my parents enjoying the last few minutes of companionship we had until summer break. J do you really have to go? What will I do without my best friend......... Geoff cast his eyes downward looking sadly at the ground. I knew this was just as hard on him as it was on me, but on the other hand I couldn't wait to get to Aortas Academy because I knew a whole new world was about to open its doors to me! Hey I said grabbing Geoff's arm stopping him, and turning him toward me, It's only for a few months and then I'll get my first break! I'll be home before you know it! Geoff looked sadly at me attempting a smile as he reached out hugging me tightly. I knew that was the end of our conversation as Geoff was a typical boy and uncomfortable in "mushy" situations. Cheer up! Maybe once I'm settled you can come for a visit! I offered pushing him slightly so that he staggered somewhat. Laughing he looked at me loosely draping his arm across my shoulders as we hurried to catch up to my parents who were now a good distance in front of us.

Now you are sure you have everything? worried my mother for only about the zillionth time since we left the house.

Yes, mother! And anything I left behind you can send to me in a week or so once I'm settled in! I offered attempting to calm my mother's fears.

Now honey I want you to study hard and remember those spells and potions I taught you! counceled my father. I knew this meant more to him than any of us because it meant I'd finally fulfill his dream for me about becoming a wizard just like him. I only smiled and hugged my father good bye knowing there could never be enough words to express what I was feeling at that very moment.

I boarded the train Boo in hand and the rest of my luggage stored for the long train ride. Finding a seat by the window I looked out waving to my parents and Geoff trying to keep a brave front as the train pulled away from the station on it's way to the Academy. What fun and adventures were in store for me? I couldn't wait! Placing Boo on the seat beside me I slouched down closing my eyes imagining what my new life would be like.

Sheila Rae - Torignis

I could feel Ajax picking me up and carrying me somewhere. I just drifted off...I didn't know why I had run around like that, and I didn't care to think about it. It appeared that Celia and Ajax had taken me to the hospital wing. He had set me down on a bed. The nurse, who looked quite like Madam Pomfrey, got a can of some liquid and rubbed it on my forehead. This whole time I was really only half-awake, just wanting to go sleep, and I did so after Ajax and Celia left the wing and the nurse left my bedside.

While I was asleep, I had these weird, things, that were like a combination of dreams, nightmares, and visions. They made little sense, but I remember then very vividly. Even though each of the vision things lasted only a few seconds each, I might have actually been asleep for a lot longer or shorter period of time, or about the same amount, perhaps. This series of visions seemed to take all of my sleeping time, regardless of how long it actually was, with me awaking with the end of the last vision.

The first vision...My hair was down, and it was all curly, the way it is when I take my braids out but before I brush my hair. I was stading in a field. My arms were out, and the wind was blowing against me. Unexpectedly, someone or something that I couldn't see grabber my hair, and lifted me up by it. It didn't hurt as if they pulled it, but they pulled me along, my toes braizing the ground. The next vision...I was kneeling on a ledge, and about two feet below was a small pool, with crystalline rocks sticking out like icebergs in various places. It was cold. My left hand was putting my hair behind my ear, and my right hand was in a fist at my heart. I was leaning over the edge, then a tear fell from my face and made a small ripple in the water. Then the tear bounced back up a few inches, and froze into a blue ice crystal, the shape of a six-pointed star, a little bigger than my hand. It glowed with a cyan colour as it floated above the water. I cupped my hands, and star crystal floated to my hands, hovering ever so slightly above them. My hands also glowed a light shade of blue. As I gazed at the ice star, my sadness left me and I smiled brightly. The next vision...I was in this crowd of people; I couldn't see them because of the haziness of the vision, but I knew they were there. Before me, there were white and black blurrs, with little bits of gold. There were flowers all around. It seemed like everywhere there was a flower, especially surrounding the white and black blurrs. The next vision...I heard a high-pitched scream that sliced the air like a knife. There was a fast fury of feathers, white ones, bursting in all directions. After the white ones were gone, there were more feathers, more slowly this time, gently floating down from the sky. There were all kinds of colours, silver and scarlet amd gold, followed by falling and shiny blues and greens. The raining of feathers was show beautiful, after the angry white ones had shot away. The next vision...There was a flame in front of me, and that was all that I could see besides the darkness behind it. One of my eyes were shut tight, almost glued shut, and my right eye was opened unnaturally wide, just staring at the fire. The flame seemed to grow ever so slowly with my pulsating stare. Suddenly, the flame went out, as if someone had sweeped their cloak over it. I was panicking, wondering where the flame had gone. I embraced where the fire was, but all I touched was air. It was not even warm where the fire had been, and it was so dark that even if there were ashes on the ground, I couldn't see them. A cold wind blew over me and I shivered. The next vision...I was sitting at a small desk, reading a piece of parchment, in a very small room. The corners were dim, but the room was bright from the sunshine slanting through the window on my left. The parchment said, "A rae of sunshine lights my life..." I couldn't help but notice...but was it a simple spelling error? The handwriting was unidentifiable; I could tell it wasn't mine, and it didn't belong to anyone else that I knew. My hand was positioned as if to write more of the poem, but there was no quill or inkwell. The next vision...I was with Ajax and Shilan, but the weird things were is that we weren't at Aortas or Hogwarts, and Shilan and striking blue hair that stuck up quite a bit. A creature ran by us, I had never seen it before. It was brown, and looked like a cross between a fox and a rabbit. I suppose the creature was mine, because I ran after it, diving several times but missing. As the animal continued, I had to jump from platforms and ledges, in order not to fall down endless ditches. Ajax and Shilan were not far behind me. On top of a particularly high ledge was Alec. The creature jumped across the gap and landed in his arms. As I jumped but obviously missed the animal, trying to embrace it in midair, I fell down into the endless crevasse. The next vision, which was connected with the previous one...I was in the same place I was with Shilan and Ajax before, but this time they weren't with me. I was holding open what looked like a muggle folder. There was a rainbow inside, but instead of the colours blending nicely, each colour stripe was definitely separate. There were paper cutouts of more creatures I had never seen before, which probably came from the same place as the fox-rabbit mix creature. I was arranging the cutouts on the stripes, next to adjectives like "Classy" and "Gentle." But I couldn't decide where each creature was, and I kept putting then on the wrong stripe, and so in turn I started to have a breakdown. The final vision...There were many people smiling at me, they looked like Healers! There were beds all around, like at St. Mungo's. Suddenly, everything got darker. A familiar figure with a familiar voice burst in, followed by a few people that looked like him. I couldn't remember who he was, though. The laughed as sparks flew from their wands, hitting the healers and patients. Other people were running around, panicking. I looked up a little and saw Celia, Ajax, and Analisa, but it really wasn't them...they seemed paler, if that was possible with Celia, and kinda faded...I gasped then screamed...

I bolted upright in my bed. I couldn't tell what time of day it was, since the hospital wing was only a little dark but the curtains were drawn over all the windows. Then I saw the nurse sorting medicines. "Excuse me....." I said to her. She came over to my bed.

"Yes, dear?"

"How much longer do I have to stay here?" I asked

"Oh, another day or so," she replied. I spotted a badge on her robes. It read "Madam Mershwin."

"But I can't!" I cried. "This is my first day of school! I can't miss anything!"

"You just need to rest, there there, dear," she said so calmly it annoyed me. I was going to miss classes - on my first day! I knew I couldn't get that far behind.

"I want to go to my classes!" I demanded. For the first time I glanced around. "Where's Ajax?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you can't do that," Madam Mershwin said, trying to sound sympathetic. "And don't you worry about your friends, they're very busy." That angered me. I knew they weren't too busy, and I wanted to see them! But for some reason, the nurse didn't want them to see me. I also knew that my persistance wouldn't help; whatever I said, Mershwin wouldn't let me go to my classes. Hopefully Celia would help me catch up, and Ajax too.

"Well, if you won't let me go my classes, can I at least have my phoenix?" I asked.

"All right, then, I'll send someone to fetch it for you," she reluctantly agreed. I mustered a little smile and sat back against the headboard. While I waited for someone to bring me Kulasiri, I dwelled on the visions I had just had during my sleep. Did they really mean something? The thought of telling Shilan I saw him having blue hair made me laugh, but I surpressed my giggles. I didn't want Madam Mershwin to think that I was up to something. So I just waited. For someone, anyone.

Celia Neshook-Torignis
------------------

Sorry I've been gone for awhile, but I had trouble getting on and everything... but hey I'm back so here I go!

------------------

After some time of watching Sheila, motionless in the bed Celia sighed."She should remain here for a couple days," said Madam Mershwin too us as she looked over towards the clock on the wall.

"Goodness me," she gasped, and she turned her attention back onto us. "You really must get going; I daresay you'll want to be on time for your first class," she told us as she practically shooed us out the door. "And don't worry about your friend," she added, "I can assure you that no further harm will come to her while she's in my care." And with that, she closed the door. I looked at Ajax and sighed, after a moment he pulled his schedule out of his pocket and looked for a moment.
"first class is survival trainig,"he said, putting the schedule back in his pocket. "come on," he said smiling.

We had too run all the way too get there in somewhat "okay" time. When we reached the grounds our Survival teacher looked up too us.

"Why..." she asked, angrily, "Are you late?"

"Well, you see..." I began, but the teacher held up her hand.

"No excuses. Please join the others; I was about to start the first lesson," she snapped, but she paused for a moment, staring at the both of us for a moment. "Are you...?" she began, but she quickly stopped herself. "Quickly, now!" she added


"I am Professor Serepta Santosa, and I will be your Survival Training teacher, as well as your Potions teacher. Survival Training may be one of the most difficult subjects in this school for you, or one of the simplest. Books are not much use here." she announced this all very clearly and loudly, and everyone around her was silent. "I expect you to perform to the best of your ability at all times. Fooling around and slacking will NOT be tolerated," she shouted, and continued. "Now, let us begin...today, we shall begin with a basic lesson in stealth, and we shall be practicing the Obliteration Charm, which is most often used for removing footprints, but is also very useful in a variety of other situations."

Ajax paired up with me and we would run across the grounds leaving footprints while our partner zapped them away. It was pretty boring but kind of easy. Perhaps this class wasn't as hard as our professor had made it seem too be. But she wasn't really a nice teacher either, almost a female version of Snape.

Afterwords Ajax, Shilan, and I were walking back towards the castle. Shilan was takling but I barely listened to him, I was staring at the castle, I could have sworn I just saw a pheonix flying around the castle. "Double Offensive Magic with the Endriago's next,"I said boredly as we came ever nearer to the main gates.

OOC: Sorry for my absence of late. Lot of things been keeping me busy. I'll try making more effort to be posting in here...
As to everyone's scheduling concerns....I don't think it'll work very well in the long run if everyone just posts their classes in whatever order they so choose so perhaps someone should make up a schedule for all the classes based on everyones house? I can do it this weekend if everyone likes the idea and no one else can do it before then.



Jerrius Quin Druid - <Endriago>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quin looked at Avyianne nervously. He had realised last night during the sorting that she must be related to that man in the Prophet but it had never occured to him that she must be his daughter. He could only imagine how terrible it must be to lose a parent.
He opened his mouth to say something but before he couldg et anything out Avyianne grabbed Zeph and him by the robes and dragged them off towards class. It seemed she didn't want to really talk about it just yet. At least she could tell them though. Quin could only wonder how he'd act around his friends if he was dealing with something like that.
As DatDA began he tried pushing it away from his mind. At least until Avyianne was ready to talk about it more. Note taking wasn't doing a very good job of it but when his name was called his mind snapped clean almost instantly. With a shrug he walked to the front of the class.
"Good, now Mr. Druid, stand over there and cast your best Knockback Jinx on me and I shall demonstrate the Sheild Charm to the class," the miniature professor said cheerfully.
Quin dropped into an offernsive stance, stretching his wand forward. He watched to make sure the little teacher was ready and he flicked his hand harshly.
"Fillipendo," he shouted.
A ball of amber light shot forward at great speed towards Professor Fissletong. For a moment Quin thought it was going to knock him right off his stack of books but at the last possible second the professor flicked his own wand.
"Protego," and the amber ball shot back towards Quin even faster than it had travelled before.
Quin reacted with instinct rather than thought. If he had been thinking it might have occured to him that the professor was demonstrating the shield charm and not himself. All he had time to think was, Damn that balls moving fast. With a different and less sharp flick he shouted back, "Protego!"
The ball reversed course a second time and once again seemed to speed up. Quin was always good at any kind of spell used in dueling. Shield charms were no exception. The mutual exchange of shield charms continued for well over a minute until Quin finally returned the amber ball below Professor Fissletong to the books under his feet, toppling the little man to the floor.
"That's amazing, Mr Druid. Exceptional wand work. I know of few Aurors who can deflect an already deflected attack. Excellent job, Mr. Druid. 10 points to Endriago!" Fissletong beamed cheerily.
Quin returned to his seat and the professor instructed them all to pair off and practice the wand motions of the shield charm. It wasn't until the last five minutes of class that he told them to start using spells and actually practice the charm itself. He quickly grabbed Avyianne as his partner even though he had been practiving the wand motions with Zephyr.
"You can just practice against me Avyianne," Quin said hopefully.
He wanted to cheer her up a bit. Maybe after his display with Professor Fissletong her getting the better of him with the shield charm would make her feel a bit better. It was worth a shot so after the first volley he let her shield charm knock him clear off his feet. It was a silly gesture that she would probably see right through but it was the only thing he could think of.

[Eevee Forever]

OOC: God, this place is slowing down...anyway, sorry for being gone for so long, but I've been packing, moving, and unpacking for the last few weeks, and I've been computer-less for a little over a week because there was a problem with the moving truck on the way down here. Anyway, I'm back now, and I'll be very active once again. Here I go (XD):

---------------------
Ajax Mostafa- Torignis
---------------------

As our Suvival Training class came to a conclusion, Professor Santosa made sure to let everyone, especially Celia and myself, know personally what the homework was.

"Homework!" she shouted as we walked past her. "Give me a paragraph describing the method used to cast the Obliteration Charm, and thoroughly read the section of your book on Disillusionment Charms. And don't you dare slack off," she leered at us in a maniacal way, "Because you'll be having your first practical examination," the bell sounded, yet she continued as though she had not heard it at all, "On Sunday," she added, and she waved her hands at as, as if trying to shoo us away. She leered once more, looking positively livid, and I seemed to hear her voice in my head, growling, "which I doubt some of you will survive..." I shivered, pretending to not have heard it. As Celia and myself made our way back to the castle, towers looming overhead, Shilan caught up to us.

"She's evil, that one," Shilan said, staring at the ground and looking aggrivated.

"Definitely. You see that look she gave me when we got there? She looked like she was about to just reach out and strangle me," I told him. I looked over at Celia; she hadn't said anything the whole way back, and she was staring blanky at the castle doors.

"Double Offensive Magic with the Endriagos next," she said vaguely, not showing any form of emotion.

"Well, it should be better than that survival training junk," Shilan said confidently. As we passed the Great Hall, Alec caught up with us.

"Talk abou' evil, eh?" he commented, obviously referring to Professor Santosa.

"Ye...yeah..." I replied, though absentmindedly; I found myself ogling at Celia again. She was all I'd been thinking about since breakfast, and I just couldn't take my eyes off of her.

***

As we entered the seemingly ordinary classroom, my jaw dropped. By no means was this classroom ordinary; au contraire, it was anything but. The room, twice as long and almost three times as wide as the other classrooms I'd peeked into in between strolls down the corridors, housed an enormous stage-like platform of beautifully polished wood and elegant designs engraved and painted all around the trim of the stage. In the back half of the room, there were rows of small, spindly wooden chairs assembled in rows, into which students were already filing. Celia, Alec, Shilan, myself, and Malvar, who had met us in the classroom, filled one row and stared at the stage, on which a tall, steely-eyed man stood silently; 'He must be our teacher,' I told myself. After a few minutes, the room was packed tightly, even though it was huge in comparison to others, and the gray-eyed man cleared his throat to speak.

"Welcome to Offensive Magic Class!" he exclaimed, but not so much jovially; in fact, it was more loud than showing any kind of emotion; I was quickly reminded of Professor McGonagall back at Hogwarts, who was probably speaking to her students in the exact same tone, permitting she was teaching a class at this moment.

"I am Professor Kai, and I shall be teaching you spells, jinxes, charms and curses which will prove very useful to your career, shall you continue to train as an Auror. I understand that you've covered many little charms and jinxes in you Defense Againt the Dark Arts and Charms classes, however, what I will show you will prove much more useful and far more difficult to master. Now, if you would all be so kind as to put away your wands, so that we may begin our lesson," he went on, and there were quite a few groans from all around the room; I caught a glimpse of Malvar looking around warily, as well as so many others, before slipping their wands away into their bags or pockets. Following suit, I stuffed my wand hastily into my back pocket, and turned back to Professor Kai.

"Now, if everyone would just move to the fron of the room...yes, that'll do," he said, and once everyone had been packed into a tight crowd around the platform, he flicked his wand, and many loud clunking and clanking noises could be heard coming from behind. Spinning around, I realized that he had moved our bags and the spindly chairs up against the wall, probably to allow us more room to practice.

"Let's start with the basics. Th most important item to have in battle is, of course, your wand. However, your wand merely channels the natural magical powers each of you possess. In our first lesson, we'll learn how to retrieve your wand using your natural magic powers. I must warn you, this will not be easy as few wizards ever learn this ability. Thrust out your hand and call for your wand, like so," he added, as he thrust his hand forward, and he shouted, "Wand!" very loudly and clearly, and to our surprise, his wand appeared in his hand with a billowing puff of smoke. "Now, you try it," he told us, surprisingly cheerfully.

I stuck my hand out in front of me, exchanging a few quizzical looks with Shilan, and shouted "Wand!", all the time trying to think about my wand, much like using the Summoning Charm. Much to my surprise, I felt the wand appear in my hand in a puff of smoke, however, it seemed to be blossoming from the palm of my hand rather than just appearing, and I felt a small tinge of pain sear through my hand. 'No matter,' I told myself, rubbing my palm, 'At least I did it.' As Professor Kai looked around the room, he noticed a boy closer to the front of the stage, and scowled at him, although why I was uncertain of.

I'll edit in more later...

[Haruko]

Sorry for not posting in a while, I've sorta been busy, and also, I really don't know what to post..sorta got writers block..which bites...I'll post tomorrow..

^^

[crimson_flygon]

Soon we arrived at the offensive magic classroom. It was quite larger then an average classroom, but it was no surprise to me, after all it is "offensive magic" we'd probably need all this space in our lessons.

In the back half of the room, there were rows of small wooden chairs assembled in rows, into which students were already going into. Ajax, Shilan, and some other boys who Ajax seemed to know met us in the class. We filled into one row and stared at the stage, on which a tall, grey-eyed man stood silently. After a few minutes, the room was was almost totally filled with students, even though it was so much bigger then other classrooms. Then the man began to speak.

"Welcome to Offensive Magic Class!" he exclaimed, "I am Professor Kai, and I shall be teaching you spells, jinxes, charms and curses which will prove very useful to your career, shall you continue to train as an Auror. I understand that you've covered many little charms and jinxes in you Defense Againt the Dark Arts and Charms classes, however, what I will show you will prove much more useful and far more difficult to master. Now, if you would all be so kind as to put away your wands, so that we may begin our lesson," he went on, I thought it was a little weird that we wern't using our wands in the offensive magic class but he was of course our teacher so I slipped my wand into my bag and listened intently to him.

"Now, if everyone would just move to the front of the room...yes, that'll do," he said, and once everyone had been packed around the platform, he flicked his wand, and many loud noises could be heard coming from behind. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the chairs and our bags were being moved back against the wall.

"Let's start with the basics. The most important item to have in battle is, of course, your wand. However, your wand merely channels the natural magical powers each of you possess. In our first lesson, we'll learn how to retrieve your wand using your natural magic powers. I must warn you, this will not be easy as few wizards ever learn this ability. Thrust out your hand and call for your wand, like so," he added, as he thrust his hand forward, and he shouted, "Wand!" very loudly and clearly, and his wand appeared in his hand with a billowing puff of smoke. "Now, you try it," he told us.

I followed his example and put out my hand, I looked at the student standin in front of me's wand which was sticking out of their bag, "that is carless," I thought. But then I said wand clearlyand a wand appeared in my hand, the smoke had taken longer to appear then proffessor Kai's but it was a start. But at a closer look at the wand in my hand I discovered it wasn't mine.

"woops," I said embarressed, I looked and saw that the student who was standing in front of me's wand wasn't sticking out of the bag anymore. "um excuse me," I said tapping him on the shoulder, they turned around and looked at me, "um... I seem to have summoned your wand by accident,...., so here" and I handed it back to them, I didn't like the way he looked at me like he thought I stole it or somthing. I could feel myself blushing as I reached out again, this time thinking about my own wand and sayind, "wand" clearly. ^Again there was a pause and a delayed puff of smoke but it did indeed appear in my hand.

I sighed in relief and then looked around at the progress of everyone around me, I hoped they were doing okay.

[Bulbasaur4]

Avianne Tseugga - F - Endriago
**

My thoughts had gone to my mind loudly... and it was hard to shut them off, to make them go away. The words of my father haunted my mind the night before he went away..


"Where are you going at a time like this?" I had said, yawning slightly as I watched my father. He was dressed in his outing robes, and he clutched his wand tightly. Gazing at me with his defiant, yet gentle, deep ocean-blue eyes, he sighed. His face was determined... yet inside he looked torn, as if he was doing some thing that he would regret. Swallowing he turned to me, his gentle, perfect face and his dark brown hair... to me, he seemed much too young to be my father. He was only in his 30s anyway..
" Avianne, what are you doing up? You'll be off to Hogwarts tomorrow..."
"I couldn't sleep,and I heard noises... obviously you. Where are you going?"
He sighed, adn then I knew what it was instantly.
"... b-but why? Why must you leave for the Order so late? It's practically 1 o'clock... they never call meeting that late.."
" It's not a meeting... it's-"
"An assignment?!" My voice sqeaked, as I suddenly was worried. He nodded, but then my rational side came to..
" Oh, but you've been on many assignments for them before, so this shouldnt' be any different. You'll be back by morning?"
Youkai, my beautiful black kitten, gently rubbed it's head against my ankle... purring slightly. I looked at my father... he was... he was hesitating?
"What?! Is it a long assignment?"
With this, my father nodded.. "Yes Avianne, I'm afraid that this assignment could ... could... take me away from you, for a very long time."
I sighed.. "So you wont be able to see me off to Auror school?"
He shook his head, " You never know... " He smiled, but his smile was half-heartedly... and some thing about it made me unsettled.
"Dad... you promise to return, ri... right?"
He didnt' say a word, as he opened up the door.
"Go to sleep Avianne.."
"Dad?! Promise me!"
" I love you... and have fun at school and ... excel, show your true talents. I love you Avianne.." With that he shut the door..
"DAD!!!!!"


A tear came to my eye, as I swallowed back a tear. I was trying hard to pay attention in DAtDA class...
Quin had done very well with a shield charm, which had impressed the Defense Against Dark Arts teacher very well...
Then, after some talk, we had to pick partners and Quin suddenly aws very adament about me being his partner. THis surprised me some what... and dumbfoundedly I grabbed my wand. After a few 'gos' at teh shield charm... then as Quin fired some magick, and it deflectd off of my shield charm, Quin knocked back off his feet.
I smiled softly as he looked up, his eyes very hopeful...
I was good at reading people, and even though it made me rather unsettled about him purposefully doing that, it did mean some thing that he was trying to cheer me up.
" Thank you Quin... but I won't become a very good Auror if you let me knock you backwards, now will I?"
Quin blushed... butonly faintly as he nodded.
"Yeah.. I suppose so .. I only want-"
"-wanted to make me feel better? Cheer up? I know... and thank you, it did."
I smiled... I couldn't tell if it was forceful or not, but I smiled and shrugged back the memory of my father before it could grasp me again. After a few more 'gos' at the shield charm, the end of class was nearing as Prof. Fissletong told us to take our seats for a short moment. I smiled at Quin and suddenly, with out warning I gave him a quick hug and lookd at him.
"Thank you, and dont' worry about me... I'll be okay. It just gives me a reason to do my best." With this I gave him a smile as I released the hug and went to my seat. Quin's face was unreadable... and I didn't have time to look at it further as I sat down.
As everyone was sitting down, I saw Prof. Fissletong staring at me... and I gazed at him akwardly...
His gaze looked at me as if he knew some thing... and I shivered slightly. He didn't seem like a bad person... buthim know some thing about me? The idea was ridiculous... unless my father told some one to l-
I blinked at the Prof. as he then looked away and went to speak about homework and the importance of Defense...

[crimson_flygon]

Die writers block! *takes giant mallet and smashes the writers block into a million peices* muhahaha! Anyway now that that is taken care of I shall now post ^_~
------------

Suddenly Professor Kai came up to me, "I have recieved word from the hospital wing," he wispered,"that your frien Sheila has requested her pheonix and Madam Mershwin would like you to get it for her."
And with that I went back and got my bag and set off towards the pheonix statue to get Kulasiri, Sheila's pheonix, I wonder if Sheila is okay. But she must be if she was able to ask for her pheonix, I thought about it as I neared the large statue.

Once I was inside I went up into the girl's dorm. I saw Carmen perk up and twitter happily when I got in, "shh quiet Carmen," I said refilling her now empty food bowl. She climbed down and began eating the fresh crickets. I went towards Sheila's bed and saw her pheonix on the table. When I neared her, she perked up and glared at me. I cooed to her the way I did when Carmen was a baby and walked towards her cage. She stared distrustingly as I stood next to her.

"Listen," I said,"Sheila needs you so please come with me," I said not knowing if she even understood me. But she stared deep into my eyes and when I opened the cage she fluttered out and sat down on my shoulder. I stroked her her head gently, "that's a good girl," I said. Carmen looked up and chirped angrily. I had to laugh, "no Carmen she's not replacing you I just have to take her to Sheila is all." I said as I went off and the last thing I saw out of the corner of my eye was her sitting all curled up at the top of her cage. But I didn't have time to settle things with her right now.

I stepped out the doorway and the pheonix statue slid back in place. I started down the hall, I saw curious glances from some of the portraits on the wall. But if I have learned anything in all my years at school, it's just to ignore them. So I strided down the halls untill I reached the hospital wing. I imediatly saw Sheila sitting up in her bed. "Sheila!" I cried, running over to her.
"Celia," She said," I see you brought Kulasiri, I'm pretty surprised she warmed up to you so fast. "

At that Kulasiri fluttered over to Sheila and perched on her shoulder. "Ya," I said,"Carmen was pretty jealous I hope I can make it up to her," I said laughing.

"I hope so to," she said stroking Kulasiri.
"Hey are you feeling better?"I asked.
"Ya I am but Madam Mershwin won't let me go yet!"she said angrily.
"well I guess it's for the best, but at least she let you have Kulasiri right?" I said watching Kulasiri curiosly...
