These Hallowed Halls: A Hogwarts rp ((O/A))

[Amethyst Everwood]

Daren Morpheus Bayes

Daren watched Rychard's little show with mild interest. Sure, it was probably meant o to intimidate, but really what got to him more was the dig at his tactics thus far. That was fine though. He could insult as much as he liked. It was only just beginning after all. It was true enough that killing a house elf was really a simple task, but he had chosen it for that very reason. It wasn't suppose to have any more significance then to let people know that all was not well after all. He rolled his eyes slightly, resting his chin in one hand, his elbow propped on the table. "Well really I could care less either way. As far as I'm concerned it has nothing to do with me. Besides I've got N.E.W.Ts next year to worry about." He replied calmly. It was obvious from this little show that Rychard mistrusted him, but that was fine. He had other ways of acquiring what he wanted. There were always other people who could be more easily persuaded after all.

He noticed Erin get to her feet and come around to his side of the table. When she pulled the girl Amethyst to her feet he moved over a bit, giving her more room to get out, though she still stumbled some. "It wasn't my intention to scare anyone. I was just voicing my thoughts aloud really. That sounds like fun though. Just try not to break any school rules this early in the year Erin. I don't want to have to explain to Uncle Jared and Aunt Carolyn how you managed to get detention before classes even start." He teased lightly as she dragged the other girl away with her. It was a perfect maneuver of course. It would make things that much easier if Erin could manage to secure a "friendship" with that girl, or any of the others.

˝ Got back on my feet, again. Is this real? Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end! ˝

Belle's interest in the conversation was lost very early on, and she had focused more on her inner thoughts, memories of a sort. Her first year, and her introduction to Hogwarts.

"Devereux, Belle!" She wasn't nervous - how bad could it be? All it was was a house . . . that determined who exactly you were to the world. It was funny, when the hat had actually been placed on Belle's head. it was almost as if they had an hour long conversation, that lasted a mere amount of seconds. It knew everything - and she argued. He said he wanted to put her into Hufflepuff. She refused. Hufflepuff was for those who weren't good enough for the other houses. At that statement, it immediately insisted upon Slytherin . . . And Belle was okay with that. It was what she had actually been hoping for.

Belle glanced as Erin dragged Amethyst away, and thought better of following the pair.

A meeting with the headmaster had been called for, and Belle had entered the room hesitantly, nervously. When the Headmaster spoke, it was with a tone of sarcasm. "Well, since I argued enough to secure your admittance into the school, I suppose I should check up on you, hmm Betsy? Now don't you go thinking I did this for your sake, I just like to tick people on the board off. So, shall we pretend I care for a moment? Have you acclimated yourself in well enough? Making friends and keeping your secret hidden and all that fun stuff?" Belle could hardly believe the words that had escaped the headmasters mouth, but kept her back straight anyways. "It's Belle . . . And everything is fine. I made a friend, yeah, and nobody's figured out the secret." She said, and the headmaster nodded as a reply. It had been a quick enough meeting, but something that, for some reason, Belle would never forget. A letter was written to her mother that night.
'Dear Mum,
School is fine. There's a second year who's helping me around - Daren. He's nice. Nobody knows the secret, an I plan on keeping it that way. Even the Headmaster said it would be best if I kept my mouth shut. I really like it here. Bye.
Belle.'
A letter of simple tastes, not as warm as most first years' letters to parents. Belle didn't feel close to her mum and dad, even at the young age. It was as if they had been torn apart after the incident. She'd met Daren Morpheus Bayes a week before, and he had actually taken the time to be kind to her. The first of the year, baffling even more for the fact that he wa a second year while she was a first.

Belle looked sideways at Daren, and couldn't help but smirk to herself. There was something about him - putting aside his smashing good looks, of course - that she could not help but adore. "Do you know what time classes start? I don't want them to hate me this year again. I was always late last year . . . Most of the teachers already know I'm notorious for that." she said suddenly, forgetting that what she had to say had absolutely nothing to do with the conversation at hand. 'Dammit! Stupid girl!'

[Amethyst Everwood]

As an attempt to try and get some more people for this rp to keep it alive, I will be making a new thread for it soon to lower the page count. I have noticed that a lot of people won't join a thread when it is already very far in, so I want to try and refresh this a bit. I also ask that you guys please try and be more consistent with your posting. Since there are so few of us it really holds things up if someone doesn't post. If you are going to be away for more then three days please let me know!!! I will also be updating the rules when I make the new threa, so please make sure you re-read them at that time!
