Life through the eyes of a

[.magnarock.]

The fire crackled invitingly in the grate and the small paned windows had misted over with condensation from the cold outside. Gossips flitted about, making the most of Sunday evening and eagerly awaiting Monday morning for the fresh release of many of their favourite glossies and tabloids. The first years were caught between studiously finishing off homework in a quiet corner and excitedly discussing the weeks happenings. In another corner, with more seriousness, the seventh years sat, having already had dinner, with caffine filled drinks; preparing themselves for another late one as their deadlines loomed closer and the work still towered ominously.
The rest of Gryfindor milled around in and out of the portrait, socializing with the other houses in the corridors or library.

Sei sat, hugging his knees, on his bed in the dormitory. Silently counselling himself still over the loss of Saire. He had come close to telling them; Kyli, Cenizo and Kik. But the weight of the dowsing crystal he had recieved from 'not Dave' hanging round his neck had reminded him of everything else he would have had to tell them in order to give the truth about Saire's demise.
He just couldn't come to terms with it all again, all the why's, all the how's and all the sadness. He blunk back tears as he noticed one rolling down his cheek and rubbed it roughly away with the back of his sleve.

Tenuka and Frances were just finishing off their last bit of Transfiguration homework.
"Finished." Tenuka said happily, a few seconds later Frances put down her quill and rubbed her hand.
"I don't think i'll ever get used to using one of those." she said smiling.

Cenizo was sitting in 'his' pooffy chair and was 'looking' out the window. Trying to stop Kik from copying his homework.

Leo was sitting with Elsie, Donna and Tobi, cus May was at the library with Kyli.

Sophia scawled away merrily with a quill; having already had plenty of pracitce at home. She was only frowning because of the potions homework.
"What'n earth d'you do there!"
She looked up from the page.
"Guys.. which whay d'you stirr'it after you've'added the newt'fin?"

"Clockwise I think." Tenuka said digging her essay out of her bag and checking it. "Scratch that. It's counter-clockwise." she said rubbing the back of her head, putting away the potions and trasfiguration essays.

[.magnarock.]

"Thanks!" She said and scribbled in the answer in her loopy far-spaced script.

[cenizobelle]

"No problem." Tenuka replied and got her wand out of her bag. "Charms next. What did we have to practice again?" she asked cheerily.

Frances srugged. "I didn't write it down. Do you know Sophia?"

[.magnarock.]

She thought for a moment, swishing her quill slightly in the wand motions for the spell they had had to learn, trying to remind herself.
"Wingadrium Levosa?" She hazarded a guess."We had't practise doing it'nd making things fly."

[cenizobelle]

[real soz i couldn't get on at the weekend. waz really busy.]

"It sounds right . . . " Tenuka said slowly. "Swish and flick wasn't it?"

[.magnarock.]

[nada probble]
Sophia nodded keenly; the motions being the main thing she remembered.

Meally entered the common room, and went over to join Sophia and Frances, smiling happily. She caught sight of someone's potions homeowkr and groaned. "not potions..." she sighed, flopping heavily into a chair.
