            Transfiguration : Transfiguration is essentially the art of changing the properties of an object. Transfiguration is a theory-based subject, including topics such as "Switching Spells" (altering only a part of some object, such as giving a human rabbit's ears); Vanishing Spells (causing an object to completely disappear); and Conjuring Spells (creating objects out of thin air). It is possible to change inanimate objects into animate ones and vice versa

            Defense Against the Dark Arts : Defense Against the Dark Arts, commonly shortened to D.A.D.A., is the class that teaches students defensive techniques in order to defend themselves from the Dark Arts, and to be protected from Dark creatures.

            Charms : Charms is the class that teaches how to develop incantations for the uses of bewitchment. Charms is a type of magic spell concerned with giving an object new and unexpected properties. Charms classes are described as notoriously noisy and chaotic, as the lessons are largely practical.Many of the exposition sequences in the books are set in Charms classes, which are on the second floor of Hogwarts.

            Potions : Potions is described as the art of creating mixtures with magical effects. It requires the correct mixing and stirring of ingredients at the right times and temperatures. It is related to Chemistry, but with a more sinister twist. As to the question of whether a Muggle could brew a potion, given the correct magical ingredients, Rowling has said, "Potions seems, on the face of it, to be the most Muggle-friendly subject. But there does come a point in which you need to do more than stir."

            Astronomy : Astronomy is the only field of study at Hogwarts that has a direct equivalent in the Muggle world. Astronomy classes take place in the Astronomy Tower, the tallest tower in Hogwarts, and are taught by Professor Aurora Sinistra. Lessons involve observations of the night skies with telescopes.

            History of Magic : History of Magic is the study of magical history. Cuthbert Binns' lessons are depicted as some of the most boring at Hogwarts. They only ever take the form of lectures, given without pause, about significant events in wizarding history. Topics have included goblin rebellions, giant wars, and the origins of wizarding secrecy. This is the only class at Hogwarts that is taught by a ghost.

            Herbology : Herbology is the study of magical plants and how to take care of, utilise and combat them. There are at least three greenhouses described in the books, holding a variety of magical plants of varying degrees of lethality.

            Divination : Divination is the art of predicting the future. Various methods are described, including tea leaves, fire omens, crystal balls, palmistry, cartomancy (including the reading of conventional playing cards and the tarot), astrology, and dream interpretations. Divination is described by Professor McGonagall as "one of the most imprecise branches of magic". Supporters of the subject claim that it is an inexact science that requires innate gifts. Those opposed claim that the subject is irrelevant and fraudulent.

            Care of Magical Creatures : Care of Magical Creatures is the class which instructs students on how to care for magical beasts.

            Muggle Studies : Muggle Studies involves the study of the Muggle (non-magical) culture "from a wizarding point of view." The only need for witches and wizards to learn about Muggle ways and means, is to ensure they are able to blend in with Muggles while needing to do so (e.g. at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup).

            Flying : Flying is the class that teaches the use of broomsticks made for the use of flying and is taught only to Hogwarts first years. The subject is the only one that requires physicality.

            Student life he day begins at Hogwarts with breakfast in the Great Hall. Students sit at their own House table and can eat as well as socialise, or finish homework. The Headmaster or Headmistress eats with the professors at the High Table placed at the far end of the hall. During breakfast, owls bring in the students' post, generally consisting of The Daily Prophet, letters from parents or friends, or packages from home. A bell signals the start of the first class of the morning at 9 a.m.

            There are two long morning classes with a short break in between them for students to get to their next class. After lunch, classes resume at 1 p.m., and there is a break around afternoon teatime before another class period. The classes are about one hour in length, with occasional double periods lasting two hours. Classes end around five o'clock. First year students get Friday afternoons off, while sixth- and seventh-year students have several free periods during the week. In the evening, students eat their dinner in the Great Hall, after which they are expected to be in their common rooms. Astronomy classes take place late at night in the Astronomy Tower.

            The four House dormitories have secret entrances known only to members of that house and require a password (with the exception of the entrance to the Ravenclaw dormitory, where one is required to correctly answer a riddle) in order to gain entrance. Inside is the common room, which contains armchairs and sofas for the pupils, as well as tables for studying. There are fireplaces to keep the rooms warm, and students either relax here in the evenings or else complete their homework. There are notice boards in each common room too, as well as at other strategic points throughout the school. The students sleep in their House dormitories, which branch off from the common rooms. Each dormitory gets at least two rooms; one for boys and one for girls (an enchantment prevents boys from entering the girls' area, although there is no spell to prevent the reverse from occurring). Each student sleeps in a large four-poster bed with bed covers and heavy curtains in the House colours, and thick white pillows. There is a bedside table for each bed, and each dormitory has a jug of water and goblets on a tray.

            On designated weekends, Hogwarts students in their third year or higher, with a signed permission slip, are permitted to walk to the nearby wizarding village of Hogsmeade, where they can relax and enjoy the pubs, restaurants and shops. There appears to be a good relationship between the school and the village, and the students get on well with the locals. Favourite places in Hogsmeade include Honeydukes Sweetshop, Zonko's Joke Shop, clothing stores such as Gladrags Wizardwear, the Shrieking Shack, rumoured to be the most haunted building in Britain (revealed not to be in the third book), and the pubs The Three Broomsticks, The Hog's Head and Madam Puddifoot's.

            Food The house-elves at Hogwarts are skilled chefs, and cook a wide variety of dishes for every meal. The various dishes are prepared in the kitchens directly below the Great Hall and, at meal times, magically transported up so that they appear served for the students. Many of the dishes eaten at Hogwarts were originally derived from the spells of House Founder Helga Hufflepuff. Hogwarts food is typically British, although the school sometimes makes exceptions. The usual drinks (apart from water) are milk, tea, coffee, orange juice, and pumpkin juice. Butterbeer was only once served at the school during the Yule Ball.

            Hospital Wing Hogwarts contain a large and well equipped infirmary/hospital to treat all manner of injury, illness and magical misadventure. The hospital is staffed by Madam Pomfrey, a fully qualified magical healer. Accidents from Quidditch, dangerous creatures, hazardous lessons and student mischief are common at Hogwarts so the characters frequently end up in the hospital wing. With few exceptions students are treated and discharged in just a day or two despite injuries that would be very serious in the Muggle world.

The sacrifice creates a lingering protection in the blood of the person who was saved. It is not activated, however, until the charm is actually cast, and it is not sealed and functioning until another member of the family accepts the saved person as his or her own.

            Furnunculus (fur-NUN-kyoo-lus)
            related to "furnus" L. oven?
            related to "furunculus" L. which means "petty thief" and is the basis of the English word "furuncle," which is a fancy name for "boil" (as in a skin lesion, not the verb for the point at which a liquid becomes a gas). Obviously, at some point, wizards decided it was easier to say the spell when they threw in the extra "n" after the letters f-u-r. Submitted by Claire T. Nollet

      »яσσм ғσя мσяε---


      яεsτιηɢ ση мч sнσℓ∂εяs ๑ Personally, I find myself as a pretty laid back person. I'm not up and 'All in your face', and nor do I try to piss people off as a profession. Usually, I try to mind my own business, but being in Slytherin has its ups and downs. I mean obviously Gryffindor hates you, and from hundreds of years ago when you know who used members of Slytherin to help him, it makes some of us seem like traitors when we're not. Unlike most of the other students in the school who are local and usually come from around England, truth be told is that I'm actually from Spain. Which tends to set me apart from others who are used to comparing things at their homes to others. So sometimes I can be left out of conversations, and when I try to tell people what Spain is like, most usually don't listen. So I'll tell you one thing that you probably won't believe, it's hard for me to make friends. I do have a short temper, and all of my teachers know me for it. The only teacher who seems to put up with it is my Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I can cause trouble, I don't do anything like cast charms on teachers, but my short temper and inability to reason with teachers has got me sent to the Headmaster's at least once every two days. What can I say? Teachers and I don't mingle.

      Mischievous? At times. But usually it's usually nothing to serious. I'm known to get back at people, you do something to me and I'll make sure to do it three times worse back to you. Funny thing is, I usually don't get blamed for it. My favorite teacher (D.A.D.A) covers for me, but then ends up chastening me afterward, I guess you could say that he's watching out for me, or either he pities that I always get in so much trouble. But you know it's not that I'm trying to get points taken away from our house, it's just you know... I'm touchy at times. But overall most of my problems come from my sense of pride being a Pure Blood witch. I hate being talked down, as well as being thought as just another normal student. I have nothing against muggle born witches or wizards, or mixed blood, but when you're a pure blood you have to defend yourself more than you would think.

      яεα∂ мε ℓικε α вσσκ ๑ On a warm April Monday morning, I was born in Spain. I was born into the Mareno family, a family of pure blood witches and wizards, and trust me they intend to keep it that way. (Past experience, pure blood parents definitely don't want you dating mixed bloods) Spain is a beautiful country, yes some of it is still stricken by poverty, but does that mean that it's ugly? That's like asking if Romainia is any less prettier even if people are commonly kiddnaped there. Unlike a lot of other parts of the world where people were adapting to new life and technology, a lot of people in Spain couldn't afford the new technology, leaving parts of the country caught in the past. I thought that was what made Spain especially different and better than most other countries (Africa is pretty as well). My parents worked as travelling witch and wizards, and would take me along for different trips. Usually they took care of magical creatures in the Muggle world, but there were other times where they would have to leave me with a Nanny because it was too 'Dangerous'. But that meant I usually got to travel a lot even if they would leave me in the hotel with my Nanny. I still go to explore the places we were staying, most of these places seemed unconnected from the real world.

      Like in our trip to an African tribe (obviously in Africa) I would play with the other children, and help them make things. It was actually interesting to learn that some of those children were going to start learning magick like me. You see, magick is everywhere and sometimes in the places you least expect it. But as time passed and I grew older my parents' missions became more dangerous and they stopped bringing me and sent me on vacations to our Villa in Mexico with the Nanny who almost seemed closer to me than my parents did. My Nanny wasn't quite human, a common house elf, but commonly had a charm placed on her so she appeared human to Muggles. My parents usually never treated her badly (because when they did I'd go ape s**t on their asses) due to me sticking up for the kind elf. At age elven I recieved a letter from Hogwarts. My parents, despite being from Spain had both attended the British school for witch craft and wizardry. It wasn't a surprise when I was invited to be enrolled in the school.

      When I went to collect my belongings for school, I picked up my partner Rosh. Rosh is my cat or as some people say, my familiar. He's not a black cat, actually he's a Bangled cat, his fur is a warm golden copper with dark maroon brown leopard like spots, his underbelly is a lighter gold, and he has wide amber eyes that always seem to watch you. He doesn't quite like boys but he loves to be around girls, which I found amusing since I don't really hang around many girls. When I entered the school I found myself dumbfounded, it was something like out of an old story book. I couldn't believe that something like it even existed. I'd been to some places with limited amounts of technology, but never anywhere without technology at all. After heading over to the sorting hat, I had barely put the hat on and I was sent straight into Slytherin. I had known my parents belonged in Slytherin, but I hadn't thought of them to be so notorious. My bad.

      As time progressed I became friends with one of Draco Mafoy's descendants. Of course that meant he was pure blood as well, right? We don't share exact personalities, but you know good enough personalities to just about be best friends. And don't worry I'm not stupid enough to turn out to be one of his followers rather than real friends. I'm not apart of his posy, I'm and actual friend that he can depend on and who won't run away in the face of danger. I hope the same goes vise versa. In my second year of Hogwarts I joined the Quidditch team, and unfortunately became the seeker. I should be happy right? I'm fast, light, and agile, but when you want to be the keeper and you're stuck chasing a super fast golden snitch then you have problems. I guess I'm good at it, but I'd prefer beating on other people rather than having mini fights with the other team's Seeker.

      As you should be able to tell by now, my best class is Defense Against the Dark Arts. Yes, I'm great at casting, spells, hexes, and charms. I'm good when it comes to being a good offensive player with magic. Although despite my success I do horribly fail with my Potions class, usually that's the class I get into the most trouble in. I've gone to the Headmaster's room so many times that I think he actually enjoys seeing me there. Draco's descendant is always there trying to help me be pass Potions, but you know I think this is what I get for being good at casting spells. Now that this is my last year in Hogwarts, I not certain what I'm going to even do with my life. Hopefully something interesting will happen this year that will set the other years apart from this one.

      ωαηηα sεε мч sκιℓℓs ๑ My wand is made from the wood of a Rowan tree. It was painted over in a warm coppery brown, winding up around my wand is a rose vine. It curls around my wand in a silvery color, while there are small red roses planted here and there on the vine. The vine stops about three inches from the top of my wand, which means that the vine takes up about seven inches of my wand. The core is made from the poisonous tail quill of a Manticore.

                                                Silence wasn't a bad thing at all, instead it actually almost felt as if there was no one inside the car with her. The silhouette from the corner of her eye was a dim reminder of the unwelcome company. If another Gryffindor came in Isabella was going to have no reason but to leave, one was more than enough and two was just... too much. It was hard enough not to end up saying something extremely rude, not that she cared, but she didn't want to start up a useless argument that would only end badly. Most likely getting her in some kind of trouble, it was too early to be starting things with Gryffindor. They would have to wait until all of them got to Hogwarts before Bella would start anything semi serious, usually she got away with things with a warning, some detentions, and maybe having to spend a night in the Forbidden Forest with the Magical Creatures teacher. Truthfully, there was nothing that scary about the Forbidden Forest, yeah it was dangerous, but when you were good at Defense Against the Dark arts usually you didn't have to worry too much.

                                                The door for the cart slid open and Isabella half expected another Gryffindor to step in. That would have been the worse case scenario, Bella would have much rather have had a Dementor open the door than another Gryffindor. At least if that did happen, she'd be able to use the Potronus charm to defend herself. But against a Gryffindor all you had were words, and they had to be chosen quickly and correctly. 'At least Dementors don't talk; they suck the life out of you, which would be an enjoyable way to spend my time in the train rather than sitting with someone from Gryffindor,' it was a bit over the top to think so rudely about Gryffindor, but you know... the rivalry goes back long before Harry Potter, the two were never meant to mix, even if you tried as much as you could. It was like putting a snake with a mouse, the snake would eat the mouse. But if you replaced the snake with a basilisk and the mouse with a Griffin, then you'd have a battle to the death of one of them.

                                                Isabella hadn't looked over to where the cart door had opened until she heard someone speak. "Morning Izzy," startled by Darius's sudden appearance Bella turned her head sorting for words that escaped her mind in a hurry. He had a weary smile on his face, most likely his brother Draco being more than annoying. She'd seen his brother many times before, not lately he had long left Hogwarts about four years ago, she'd noticed how much Draco annoyed Darius during her first three years at Hogwarts. She had thanked her parents silently for making her an only child, which was probably the best thing they had ever done for her. She watched his face grow grim as he noticed the Gryffindor, most other Slytherins would have reacted rather rashly, and most likely would have made a malicious comment without flinching. Both of them were easily capable of that without feeling bad about it afterward, but Bella was feeling generous today and wasn't going to bother.

                                                As Darius took a seat beside her Isabella gave him a coy smile, hoping that would shed a bit of enlightenment in the dreary room. "Mornin` Dar," she greeted him in a smooth voice, not showing the least bit of displeasure or even notion of the Gryffindor. Mulling over with what she should and shouldn't say next her mind picked out a rather general topic, they could talk about it without having to hide it from the girl sitting across from them. "So, we have our first Quidditch game on the 26th this month against Gryffindor, when do you think we start opening the practices?" as 7th year Quidditch player they of course, had responsibility of taking care of the team. Which included scheduling some practices and teaching what 1st year players that had somewhat managed to stumble upon the team how to play. Although despite scheduling practices for the team, Isabella usually didn't practice with the other players. Usually she would be working with her speed, or she'd be coaching the newer team recruits.

                                                Being Seeker hadn't been one of thing that Isabella had wanted to be. She had actually wanted to be a Keeper, but when she was spotted flying her first year with ease and good agility she was recruited and didn't have much of a say in what she wanted to be. She was almost automatically assigned her position without even stating if she wanted to be on the team. But getting some exercise was good for you, so overall being Seeker wasn't too bad.

                                        Silence wasn't a bad thing at all, instead it actually almost felt as if there was no one inside the car with her. The silhouette from the corner of her eye was a dim reminder of the unwelcome company. If another Gryffindor came in Isabella was going to have no reason but to leave, one was more than enough and two was just... too much. It was hard enough not to end up saying something extremely rude, not that she cared, but she didn't want to start up a useless argument that would only end badly. Most likely getting her in some kind of trouble, it was too early to be starting things with Gryffindor. They would have to wait until all of them got to Hogwarts before Bella would start anything semi serious, usually she got away with things with a warning, some detentions, and maybe having to spend a night in the Dark Forest with the Magical Creatures teacher. Truthfully, there was nothing that scary about the Dark Forest, yeah it was dangerous, but when you were good at Defense Against the Dark arts usually you didn't have to worry too much.

                                        The door for the cart slid open and Isabella half expected another Gryffindor to step in. That would have been the worse case scenario, Bella would have much rather have had a Dementor open the door than another Gryffindor. At least if that did happen, she'd be able to use the Potronus charm to defend herself. But against a Gryffindor all you had were words, and they had to be chosen quickly and correctly. 'At least Dementors don't talk; they suck the life out of you, which would be an enjoyable way to spend my time in the train rather than sitting with someone from Gryffindor,' it was a bit over the top to think so rudely about Gryffindor, but you know... the rivalry goes back long before Harry Potter, the two were never meant to mix, even if you tried as much as you could. It was like putting a snake with a mouse, the snake would eat the mouse. But if you replaced the snake with a basilisk and the mouse with a Griffin, then you'd have a battle to the death of one of them.

                                        Isabella hadn't looked over to where the cart door had opened until she heard someone speak. "Morning Izzy," startled by Darius's sudden appearance Bella turned her head sorting for words that escaped her mind in a hurry. He had a weary smile on his face, most likely his brother Draco being more than annoying. She'd seen his brother many times before, not lately he had long left Hogwarts about four years ago, she'd noticed how much Draco annoyed Darius during her first three years at Hogwarts. She had thanked her parents silently for making her an only child, which was probably the best thing they had ever done for her. She watched his face grow grim as he noticed the Gryffindor, most other Slytherins would have reacted rather rashly, and most likely would have made a malicious comment without flinching. Both of them were easily capable of that without feeling bad about it afterward, but Bella was feeling generous today and wasn't going to bother.

                                        As Darius took a seat beside her Isabella gave him a coy smile, hoping that would shed a bit of enlightenment in the dreary room. "Mornin` Dar," she greeted him in a smooth voice, not showing the least bit of displeasure or even notion of the Gryffindor. Mulling over with what she should and shouldn't say next her mind picked out a rather general topic, they could talk about it without having to hide it from the girl sitting across from them. "So, we have our first Quidditch game on the 26th this month against Gryffindor, when do you think we start opening the practices?" as 7th year Quidditch player they of course, had responsibility of taking care of the team. Which included scheduling some practices and teaching what 1st year players that had somewhat managed to stumble upon the team how to play. Although despite scheduling practices for the team, Isabella usually didn't practice with the other players. Usually she would be working with her speed, or she'd be coaching the newer team recruits.

                                        Being Seeker hadn't been one of thing that Isabella had wanted to be. She had actually wanted to be a Keeper, but when she was spotted flying her first year with ease and good agility she was recruited and didn't have much of a say in what she wanted to be. She was almost automatically assigned her position without even stating if she wanted to be on the team. But getting some exercise was good for you, so overall being Seeker wasn't too bad. . . that was if you didn't break any bones. You had to be aggressive and sometimes the other team's Seeker could be rather pushy and Isabella had pushed a few people of their broomsticks before, but she's also toppled off hers, at least once in her first two years of being Seeker. A few broken bones was never much to cry about, you heal. Face it.

            Rima still hadn't gotten much of a reaction from the guy across from her, her attention was wearing thin as she leaned back slightly as figures passed by. One in particular caught her eye, he moved rather quickly and as he moved he appeared like he was trying not to be seen. A trouble maker none the less, she moved her eyes back to Acerbus who nodded slightly. As he disappeared into the shadows Rime couldn't help but feel as if he had some accomplice around somewhere. Her Espeon clearly had taken notice as he stared past the silver haired boy's face and over his shoulder to where a large fish tank was. Over all it was a quite dramatic tone to the ship, a large fish tank on the upper deck where people could place their water type pokemon for a swim instead of being cooped up in a poke`ball? Aiiro would definitely have to do that later for Kingdra, he'd certainly enjoy that.

            Then as Aiiro and her two pokemon sat there, Togekiss admiring his scarf and Acerbus narrowly watching an empty spot of air the dark haired female waited. Then it happened as if it were all planned out. Aiiro's blue eyes were set on the scene even before it happened, thanks to her trusty partner who wasn't about to let a thing go by her. A Gengar - the pokemon sent shivers down her own spine, but despite that she hid the fact that she had a disliking for poison type pokemon - had appeared in front of a girl and gave her a nasty licking to the face. Aiiro had fought a Gengar at least once before, that 'lick' was enough to sometimes paralyze the opponent and make them back off from Gengar. Pursing her lips she awaited the next thing that was going to happen, that couldn't be all. Just spooking someone? There was usually much more to a Gengar's pranks. The girl screamed as if she was being grotesquely murdered as Rima clamped hands over her ears. An already present headache was just about to get worse.

            She watched in the near sight of horror as the Goldeen in the front of the tank tried to swim back and pierced the Tenticool with its wicked horn. There was then an explosion of ink splattering all over the place and over the tank water ran splashing the pink coordinator with brackish gray water ruining her pastel colored clothing. The girl ran off in another direction obviously embarrassed by what had happened, people were staring as it was no mistake. The next domino fell over and the Tenticool knocked the poor helpless Goldeen out of the water and towards the four of them. There were really only two options at this point, either move to the side and let the Goldeen land painfully on the wooden deck or actually have one of her pokemon attack it in mid air. Neither seemed like really fair ways to fall, but Acerbus was already prepped for what was coming.

            The lavender colored pokemon stood up momentarily as people watched obviously waiting for the Goldeen to make impact with Rima. Instead the pokemon stopped midair floating as if the air itself was water. A thin layer of dark violet outlined the pokemon as Acerbus guided it back to the fish tank with ease. Usually confusion was used to batter your opponent without even having to touch them and that Goldeen was going to feel a little woozy after that, but it was better than making impact with the hot deck. Aiiro then pulled out a poke`ball, this one was one of her rather newer pokemon but this pokemon as mischievous as the Gengar had been. It wasn't like Rima was going to sit there and brush off what had happened, even though she was a reserved person she did have a sense of pride.

            Clicking the button on the poke`ball she released Froslass from her poke`ball who had her arms crossed. The pokemon looked up with icy blue eyes and stared at her trainer waiting for directions. Rima bent over, "Find the trainer with bright blue hair, he owns a Gengar. Have whatever fun you want, but be careful he doesn't seem like a starting trainer," Rima told her pokemon a small smile tugging on her lips as Froslass nodded and then her image shimmered away. The pokemon made her way over to where the boy had been cracking up, Froslass already had a plot in plan. Catch the ghost pokemon who appears to have no trainer. Froslass grinned to herself as she reared up behind the boy and screeched a horribly blood curdling scream.

I had another bad dream, but this time it wasn't about the pride. Instead it filled my head with disgusting sights, of things I didn't want to see. It was Vivian and Brandon. I knew Vivian had a boyfriend, but something in my head said that she had come over to take Brandon with her. I opened my eyes breathing heavily, it could have been described as panting like a dog, but it wasn't in a good way. I swallowed as I stared up at the unfamiliar ceiling... no, it was familiar, but not one I stared at all the time. Was I in Brandon's bed? I sat up as my shoulder screamed at me, it had been bandaged well, but I could see thick crimson seeping through. How long had I been asleep? I stood up and opened his bedroom door and started down the stairs quietly.

I could hear sounds, but I wasn't sure what the sounds were of. A movie maybe? A pretty intimate movie at that. I creeped down the rest of the stairs and tiptoed into the living room. The television wasn't on, and there wasn't anyone in sitting on the couch. I swallowed as I followed the sounds only to turn to corner to see something horrible. I choked back a gag clasping my hand over my mouth as the horrid sight was revealed, Vivian and Brandon kissing. I blinked a few times over making sure I wasn't seeing things, and when I did realize this was real my eyes stung and watered. I cried every night because of the horrible nightmares I always had, but if I really counted the last time I really cried it had to be when I saw the pride dead at my feet. I turned away not even trying to hide my presence anymore. This had to be part of the dream too.

I walked to the front door opened it and stepped out walking maybe twenty feet to the edge of the forest before hiding behind a tree and sinking to my butt my knees folded up into my chest. I was an idiot. I'd broken the promise only to be stabbed in the back. I also had revealed myself to a whole pack of werewolves and a human only to be tossed aside. If only I'd listened to the things my seniors had told me instead of trying to be a disobedient little brat.

Lazily I pulled myself to my feet and began the long walk home.


As soon as I had gotten home that night I'd taken a long bath. My grandfather didn't ask where I had gone, he knew if I disappeared it was because I didn't want to talk about something. He'd grown used to the fact to living with a granddaughter who would appear here and there, but I knew he still worried about me. The fact that I had walked in distraught with a bandage casing my entire right shoulder and the fact that I wasn't bubbly and jumpy as usual. I felt like s**t. There I admitted it. You know before I never had to worry about another girl stealing my guy, at least before he died. I didn't think I had much to worry about until now.

Even the bubbles in my bath didn't seem to lift my spirits. Instead they only stung the wound on my shoulder making me have more of a reason to be depressed. I came to Colorado to escape the past and now I had a past here that I didn't even want to remember. Where else did I have I could move to? Alaska? Had Brandon enjoyed being kissed by Vivian? Was it something that he had always dreamed of? Was it better than kissing me?

Vivian was a human, frail and distraught by nature. I was a werecat and him a werewolf. As much as cat and dog didn't really click, it was a better match than human and werewolf. Vivian would age while Brandon wouldn't.

              Hanoko as you can see is a rather tall person, she stands up around 5'9" towering over some moderate height men, and her boots don't make her seem much shorter. She's been called a man lady before, but those people don't make it anywhere else without bruised cheek. She's not a force to be reckoned with, as you can maybe not tell but she's practically all muscle, not many woman can wear full mail armor without collapsing from exhaustion and Hanoko can swing a heavy sword with precision as well. Most can commonly tell her apart from others because of her bright scarlet hair that brings her out among a crowd.

              What a lot tend to notice is the way her armor tends to change constantly as well as the weapon she has with her. When you come to see her battle abilities you would come to understand why she's never to be seen in the same armor more than once in a day. She has a smooth complexion and dark brown eyes. Most claim that her eyes can be seen as brooding darkness, but mainly that's because they've done something to have her casting a glare at them.
