Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sometime later she woke from the daydream and rose herself form the chair. She was finally hungry. Halloween had left sometime after she had stopped petting her.She sighed and collected her books from the floor and slung the bag over her shoulder. With plans to bring something back for Halloween, she left the Common Room.

After pushing aside the Fat Lady, Elijah collapsed down on the fluffiest armchair in the rather round common room. She was thankful that she had a free period so she could work on her trecherous homework. Pushing her fringe out of her eyes only to have it fall back, Elijah kicked off her shoes and wiggled her toes. Her rainbow striped toe-socks proudly on display to the empty common room.

Instead of working on her homework as she swore she would(at least to herself that is), Elijah pulled out a book that her mother had gotten her Sonnets of a Sorcerer and cracked it open to her marked page. Elijah burrowed herself into the cushiony goodness and immersed herself into the written works.

Nicodeamus smiled and looked at her. "Boo," he said with a smile, sneaking up behind her and putting his hands over her eyes, "You're freezing. C'mon, let's sit by the fire." The viking was wearing a maroon pair of pajamas, a golden Griffindor crest on his chest. He wrapped his arm around her, ruffling her hair.
"Well, today has been interesting..." he said, "I have to send St.Mungos a letter though. I can't let Lil stay alone." His expression turned sober, thinking about his little sister. He couldn't stand it. she was hurt, she was dying, and he was staying in school. He needed to leave soon. When was the next break?

Nicodeamus swept her up in his arms, pulling her close to him. Finding a comfortable seat next to the crackling fireplace, he smiled at her and ruffled her hair again. "I have to go, Eloise. She's my sister. No matter what Professor says, I'm leaving," he said seriously, "I have to talk to the headmistress, and I'll leave as soon as I can. If I don't keep up with my studies, I'll be murdered, so I'll have to work extra hard." He didn't want to think about his sister's pale frame, lying in a near death state.

Lil meant more than the world to him, more than his own life. He loved her, she was his sister.

"My father can deal with it. I'll try to be back, but I want to make sure that she'll be alright. I'll need to keep in touch with them," he said, "I'll come back soon, promise." He smiled. He didn't want to leave, her understood her fear. But he wasn't as weak as his mother, and he knew he had to live. He had people to live for right now. Eloise... And Lil.
"I love you too," he said. Being with Eloise made him happy. She was, in many ways, like his mother. He missed the woman too much, and to have someone who had the exact qualities of her... It hurt and felt perfect at the same time. He had a protective love for her, even though he knew that Eloise was perfectly capable of taking care of herself. But he was hers, and she his, for as long as forever.

Kelsey walked down from the girls dormitory, and into the common room with a book under her arm. She smiled at a few people, before sitting down on a couch near the fireplace. She had her uniform on, except she had a grey sweater pulled over her white shirt and tie, instead of the usual jacket. She lounged on the couch, and opened the book up and began reading quietly to herself.

Kelsey had her hair down, it went past her shoulders, and it was straight today. Sometimes she let it just go curley, it's naturally curley, and much easier to just let go. But this morning she'd had some extra time, so she waited it on her hair, like usual. She let out a content sigh, and focused on her book.
