After about thirty seconds, Samantha made another hand signal and Sarah stopped growling, relaxing her posture and accepting the steak that Samantha tossed her, after taking it from Charles. Samantha turned partially around, keeping an eye on Sarah and talking to the students at the same time. You can always figure a dragon's mood by looking at it's head. Eyes and frills-if the dragon has them-are a major indicator of mood. she said, hearing Sarah tear apart the steak.

When it was Silver's turn to look, he approached the dragon in perfect view; he didn't want to surprise it so it won't attack. Once he got close enough the young Silver haired slytherin walked around the creature, admiring every speck of it, however he took greater time watching the tail and horn of the beast. The tail must be lighter than it looks Silver mused as his mind questioned the reptile's aerodynamics.
When everyone was shooed away, Silver was the last to leave the dragon's side. He wasn't uncooperative or anything, he was just more fond of being with creature's other than humans or at least appearing human. When the teacher showed the class what an enraged dragon looked like, Silver watched with eager interest, his eyes narrowing as he observed the difference of the calm and the lurid dragon. Once the dragon calmed down, Silver's mind flickered with an idea. I wonder... he thought as he crouched down slowly, never taking his eyes from the beast, he picked up a small pebble and quickly pocketed it. I guess I'll find out later was Silver's thought before standing up and resuming to be a part of the crowd.

'I hope that Charles doesn't try anything funny like last time, Hannah already was alarmed the last time it happened when she saw it and heard who gave that dare to Samantha, and all the muggles in the way...' as Longbottom shook his head whenever he had to recall that incident, the muggles did nothing wrong to warrant the alarming expressions going on, although at least none of them wounded up dead. Of course, its not like that's saying too much when one noted that the 'bouncing balloons' or 'moving shafts' had already extended when the unaware and ill-prepared muggles in the vicinity stared at Playboy-dressed Samantha,'How did that one even happen, I don't even want to know, either, Hannah,' as at least there was no threat of dwelling over the matter of the threat at hand from any of the dark wizard factions out there, threatening to attack Britain at any minute. 'Wild Neo Death Eaters aside, the Jormungands have the highest numbers of Dark Wizards to worry about, and if I hear it right, next to the Death Eaters led by Voldemort when he was alive, their numbers are the highest-known on record,' which when coupled with the fact that the Jormungands were apparently consisting of Casual Reality-Warpers in their ranks, as well as the rumors that the 'officers' he and Potter had to fight already seemed to be empowered by some kind of thick substance, already serves to make matters only just worse by the minute in dwelling over it. 'What the hell is going on with me?Its happening again,' as Longbottom was about to be impulsed to deal with the flashes, before he heard the noises of the Welsh Green Dragon already responding to everyone else.

The Silver Paradox
When it was Silver's turn to look, he approached the dragon in perfect view; he didn't want to surprise it so it won't attack. Once he got close enough the young Silver haired slytherin walked around the creature, admiring every speck of it, however he took greater time watching the tail and horn of the beast. The tail must be lighter than it looks Silver mused as his mind questioned the reptile's aerodynamics.
When everyone was shooed away, Silver was the last to leave the dragon's side. He wasn't uncooperative or anything, he was just more fond of being with creature's other than humans or at least appearing human. When the teacher showed the class what an enraged dragon looked like, Silver watched with eager interest, his eyes narrowing as he observed the difference of the calm and the lurid dragon. Once the dragon calmed down, Silver's mind flickered with an idea. I wonder... he thought as he crouched down slowly, never taking his eyes from the beast, he picked up a small pebble and quickly pocketed it. I guess I'll find out later was Silver's thought before standing up and resuming to be a part of the crowd.
'This is getting good already,' as Theaken already recalled the hand signals that Samantha has already used, 'I'm starting, right now,' one of the girls from before thought to herself, 'This is going to be fun,' the other thought to herself,'Please let Sarah know that I just wanted a friend, someone who knows I'm not lying but most of all, someone who knows I don't want to be alone,' as the girl was beginning to show her remorse levels in public when she should be keeping it to herself. 'She feels that its her fault for what happened because of distant relatives of hers during that Ironbelly Dragons crisis...she will learn in time to not berate herself this badly, one way or another, will she learn it now, or be lucky to get there intact and learn later?We'll know,' Theaken thought to himself, already aware that the lady standing before the dragon was already on her way to display honest affections to Sarah at this instant.

'Let Sarah know I'm on her side,' the lass thought to herself, as she goes to look at Sarah by her eyes and look at the eyes and Frills, already recalling the hand signals that Samantha gave while being ready to worry about using them if necessary, just wanting to let Sarah know that she is a friend and nothing less than that. 'If I fail, I can't atone for my family's sins,' she thought to herself, while noting to Sarah and hoping that Sarah understands.
X_of_Pentacles DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year The welsh green just stared back at Xavier as he cocked his head in consideration of petting the giant lizard or letting those behind him do so. He'd worked with a number of dehydrated ingredients in his spare time and lizards and serpents were some of them. Did dragons also have germs that needed salve to keep at bay for one's health? Trailing a few fingers down the length of the dragon's leg, he kept note of the scales and how they'd felt under his fingertips.
Shortly after letting his Ravenclaw protege's through, the older going towards the dragon and the younger bravely stepping up to the beast to check out it's eyes, he glanced at the incoming response and chose to illustrate the dragon with some description and pictures until the complete note actually reached him. It told of serious issues with the magical system he'd have to take into consideration and he wasn't sure he had all the answers or authorities who could help answer that. Presumably, they could ask Longbottom indirectly, but suspicion would be a terrible thing and he knew next to nothing about protecting his mind. He specialized in brews, not Occulmency. His lack of knowledge in that area, in addition to his lack of dueling experience concerning illusionary and mind-related spells, could be a serious problem should Longbottom and his associates corner him.
Taking a spot on a convenient log, the boy considered what had been penned before looking at the big picture and the potential consequences. Brewing success one experiment at a time.
*A few minutes before the two 6th year girls go to Sarah*

'My mom's cousin worked at a branch for Arc System Works, you might or might not know they're the guys behind Guilty Gear and the BlazBlue universe pretty much and are bound to be releasing Persona 4 Arena soon, I confess that whenever I had to read about Jin Kisaragi from BlazBlue, I can't help but imagine someone like a Draco Malfoy of Slytherin who makes it known that he would kill people when he gets in the killing moods, did the guys at Arc System Works appear to have taken some cues with our lives or something?Of course I noted that one time when Malfoy was using an Ice Spell to freeze the room but the name eludes me at the moment, was it Glacis cella or something like that?I wonder what could go wrong if Hagrid had to get caught Arm-wrestling either Potemkin of Guilty Gear or Iron-Tager from BlazBlue?How heavily will the outcome affect us?What other questions would be worth asking out?Is it true that Noel Vermillion was partially inspired by someone like Ginny of Gryffindor or Atoli of the Moon Tree Guild from 'The World of Dot hack', for that matter?' The Tactical Wiz had to think about such questions, being pretty convinced that Hazama might have been at least partially inspired by Tom Riddle of Slytherin or the likes of Nicodemus Archelone from the Dresden Files, I-No of Guilty Gear notwithstanding.
'I did recall the exact instructions for making a Plasma Blade out of Magic and Modern Muggle Technology, its not that easy, but after using a wand I took from one of the enemy Death-Eaters during the war, I was finally able to get it to work,' as the runes inscribed on the object where the blade was held already confirmed that the Wiz proved himself intelligent enough to craft non-conventional weaponry when push comes to shove, the Ravenclaw House always happened to be known to collect a lot of forms of intelligence, not just the basic confirmings of intelligence that's standard for the House itself, either.
'I best let DeVey the 2nd year take his time, I already figured that mentioning that nasty attack might have him pause for thought, anywho I have a dragon to focus on so we may get to understand each other,' as the Wiz goes to already focus back on the Dragon in front of him, before his younger peer goes to get a shot to do the same,'She needs to know that we'll all be there for each other if need be, both Sarah and the newcomer, otherwise the blame falls on me instead of the rest of Ravenclaw itself,' as said Wiz already goes to take off the glasses and prove himself rather serious about what he was going to say, next.
"There there, girl, you are not alone at all," the Tactical Wiz whispered gently to Sarah the Welsh Green, already willing to let her know that she is an interesting lady whose name rang a few familiar bells and whistles in his past that he would rather not dwell on for too long, nor would he wish to take them out on the Welsh Green, either.

Let's see your perception of hearing Silver thought as he moved slowly to the back of the crows, turning his back from the dragon. Once he was at the edge, the young slytherin took the pebble from his pocket and began hitting it with his fingernail. The hits the pebble took were in perfect sync to a metronome, with each five hits getting louder than the last. As the young wizard experimented on the dragon's perception, he also kept watch on those around him. He had no plan of getting caught, and he already had a ploy to get him out of trouble.
Come on dragon, respond to the clicking Silver thought as the clicking slowly began to be audible. Come on...

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year The meticulous scratching of words as Xavier wrote down his notes drowned out most of the side comments from various students who were comparing and gushing about their experiences. The new student was nowhere to be seen from his position and one of the handlers rolled her eyes, as though she'd heard all of the facts before. He kept half an eye on the hand signals from his view in the back, as useless but fun trivia. Xavier was sure every dragon would have different signs in relationship to his or her trainer.
The Ravenclaw had penned a long and drawn out response, so he kept half an ear out for the lesson. 'Concerning the spell impulses, I suppose research about the various effects could keep us all out of trouble; likewise, practicing the movements with a stick or a feather. So long as the object isn't compatible with magic and remains harmless, it should do the job fairly well. Magic, if fused properly, may have an effect on technology, so I'd look for articles in well reputed newspapers about unsolvable accidents or death. Similarly, because one born with magic would be naturally attuned, those who must learn it would have signs of strain in their system. Perhaps this is one method to finding culprits out to deceive us. So long as we have a weapon they could possibly utilize, it will be in the long term war strategy.
Forcibly erasing memories or sending someone elsewhere would take a lot of energy and practice to perfect or even use, so if nothing else, sending out in-experienced cannon fodder to pick off the enemy like mosquitos could be a problem. No loss on their end, but some injuries on the other side. The dragons could at least be a distraction if nothing else. Take a chance to be a casualty of war, or escape unscathed to duck/dodge/intimidate another day. Not a bad way to go, and war forces a society to use methods that may not be approved of, but successfully accomplish the goal.
Seeing the dragon specialist look particularly excited, he finished off the note, passed it back, and jotted down a self-note to look up differences in dragon intimidation. If two poisonous snakes can feature different strategies, dragons may do the same. A painted dragon could fool the masses. Brewing success one experiment at a time.

If you're interested please sign your name on this parchment and meet me on the quiddich field after classes let out. she said, watching as one of her dragonologists started passing around a parchment and a quill spelled to never run out of ink.OCC: Sorry about the short post, I am so breandead today -.- Also, spologoes for my MIAness crying

So needless to say, creativity will be a must-do as always, what better way to know whom we can trust and isn't out to kill us than to deceive them as far as tools and weaponry would be concerned?We may need more culprit-detecting means but this should be for starters if anything, I wonder what else we could be able to use,
'If I also recall correctly, rumor has it that the CC Corp's individuals might already have vanilla muggle tech micro-chips in there but if war breaks out, they're going to plan to attempt to go beyond the experimental stages of Magi-tech they might have already attempted if push comes to shove, right?Setting up Anti-Tech Zones like with what's in place for Hogwarts may at least be able to halt their advances long enough for bigger plans to get in play,' as the Tactical Wiz goes to deduce the following,'I get the innate gut hunch that trying to imagine Criminals ranging from Magi-Convicts to Magi-Terrorists armed with Illegal powers will be nothing short of rather disturbing to imagine, Unforgivable Curses vs Data Drain with the latter recalibrated to Flesh and Blood in particular...its not gonna be a pretty sight either way and I'd fear for the Muggles and anything else caught in the crossfire, mom's Muggleborn in case you had to ask,' the Wiz admits, as he feels impulsed to deduct all the kinds of nightmarish possibilities to imagine when he went to use his Magi-tech Glasses to go and respond back to the messages without even using arm gestures or anything of the sort, just his very thoughts being used.
Aware of what War Veteran Samantha Grisby just noted, the Tactical Wiz goes to note that Professor Grisby will take 5 students and teach them how to mind-link with Dragons, before the Wiz goes to make a verdict as to whether or not to join the other 4 in question, he tells himself this,'Let DeVey the newcomer make a verdict if he wants in, and likewise with the fellow Ravenclaw and Silver Adrians, and if they join in along with that girl who wants to befriend Sarah, I'll join up with them as well because its a case of 'What the Hells' since there's nothing to lose,' as the Wiz goes to smile in regards like these.
'Besides if I'm going to join in, I better join when I know the others are wanting in, only a matter of time before the mob might try to join in and maim for the chance and the only reason most aren't doing it right now is because the dragons might get hostile if they tried it,' as the Wiz goes to reflect on the past few minutes.
(OOC: If you may have a look at the thread, would you wish to have a list of questions for me to add in this particular match-up before I can begin to suggest the matter?No joining needed, you can just utter the questions in this R.P in OOC and it'll make sense!)
'It looks like the show's about to start at any minute, this will be fun for sure, no matter what happens,' Theaken thought to himself when he noted that the one lady already begins to sign her name in the sheet,'Tristesses Aimer de Grace Remords' she wrote, before her fellow 6th year pats her on the back,'Good luck, okay Aimer?' as the lady already going to join Samantha would be feeling nervous were it not for the fact she wants to prove to Samantha she wants to be her friend.

'I wish to accept,' Tristesses said to Samantha, willing to volunteer for the atonement to begin.
http://ninjakitsune.deviantart.com/art/Neville-Longbottom-64772856
'Not this, again!!!!' Professor Longbottom thought to himself when more flashes keep showing up, as recently speaking he still seemed to have recalled encounters with those acolytes, to the point he already had to grab that flask of elixer for the psychological pains to die down, first there's regards to Charles being brought in with Samantha, now the pangs are suddenly taking a turn for the worst. 'I drink this and it'll subside for now,' as Longbottom took another drink from the flask, and then goes to ease up somewhat after taking it, the flashes of the past were averted once more. 'I have to be more organized than this, everyone else who fought in the wars is counting on me to get it together!' as Longbottom was already feeling on edge as of late.

When the parchment and quill reached Silver, it was immediately signed. He might have appeared a little bit enthused, but he just wanted an excuse to stop the already audible clicking. After signing and passing the parchment on, Silver looked at the dragon questioningly, he knew that it should have heard the clicking. Now the silver haired slytherin wanted to know what stopped the sound from reaching the reptile's ears, Maybe it's deaf? Silver thought as he noted that the instructor merely used hand signals to command the beast.
For a moment, Silver thought of raising his hand to ask the question, but quickly dismissed it as he realized that it would obviously make him the perpetrator of the clicking. Frowning, Silver just lingered in unknowing.

Samantha heard a voice behind her and turned toward it, smiling at Tristesses. There are several tests that each volunteer must pass before they can be allowed to link. she explained, glancing at the list as it came back to her. Nearly every student had signed up, causing Samantha to smile a little as she looked down at the list.

Mayor Twihard ϟamantha Ⓖrisby Ⓓragon Ⓡesearcher and Ⓓ.Ⓐ. Member Take her to the Aerie. Samantha said to the dragonologist behind her, watching as he spread her instructions and coordinated with the others before they mounted their brooms and took off, Sarah following them. Samantha heard a voice behind her and turned toward it, smiling at Tristesses. There are several tests that each volunteer must pass before they can be allowed to link. she explained, glancing at the list as it came back to her. Nearly every student had signed up, causing Samantha to smile a little as she looked down at the list. I'll have to find out why they signed up... she thought, already planning a test to cut out all the students that just wanted to spend time with her.

'Bye, Sarah,' Aimer thought to the Welsh Green Dragon leaving the area at Professor Grisby's request, before she goes to pay attention to every single word on Samantha's lips, not wanting to miss a single instruction that Miss Grisby had to offer to the table. 'This is where the fun begins,' one of Aimer's associates noted in her own thoughts before the Tactical Wiz sort of heard the thoughts, as said associate for Aimer was noting on Samantha's looks even though it wasn't her primary reason for signing up, while Aimer was trying to atone for the things the Remords family's relatives may have done wrong during the IronBelly Incident.

'This is probably how everyone else in my house appear to view me in general, I'm not gonna lie, I think I might have been too fight-happy at the time to avoid this tagline,' the Tactical Wiz, Louis Strategos Arcus Iris, would have noted while also paying attention to Professor Grisby's next responses, taking cues from Tristesses Aimer, suspecting that the lady would prefer to be called just Aimer, if anything,'I hope Aimer's doing okay,' as Tactical Wiz Louis noted something felt very off about her, for some reason.

'As my mom would have confessed, Dragon Riding is an idea that if done correctly could lead us to ideas that rate to Over 9000 in long-term survival plans, and if war breaks out, what better-known ways to mortify the hells out of your enemies than riding a fleet of Dragons while loading up to music that breeds dread upon them to give them nightmare fuel?' Louis admits in his thoughts, keeping his Occlumency progresses as up to date as possible while also working out what to do after he signed in to accept Professor Grisby's request. 'What's wrong with Professor Longbottom?I heard he's seen better days than this but this is getting out of hand, lately, if this keeps up before we hear him out this will not look good at all!!!,' as Louis faintly recalled when he had to go and fight in that final engagement against Voldemort's lot all those years ago, deadly combat was deadly indeed. 'I'll worry about it later, 1st I gotta listen to what DeVey had to note while also paying attention to Professor Grisby's instructions, otherwise I'd be left in the dark with what's going on and being left in the dark is not fun!' as Louis went to note that he didn't find anything meaningful about his first name that felt good, the fame part of it he can cope with, the war idea...'Could that be connected with the impulses to see blood shed on the fields of kombat?' as the Ravenclaw Wiz found things wrong with the picture to imagine.

Silver did not take his eyes away from the dragon until it disappeared into the distance. First day at this school and I get to see a dragon and given an opportunity to study them. Being in this school is better than I have expected Silver thought as he turned his attention and eyes to the instructor. What kind of tests? Silver asked, speaking for the first time on school grounds and revealing a Scottish accent. In his mind, Silver had already begun constructing scenarios of what these tests could be. He thought of how one must have composure and quick thinking to work with dragons, but also an affinity to beasts in general. Whilst waiting for an answer, the Silver haired slytherin's lips slowly formed a half smile.

DeVey, Xavier: Slytherin 2nd year Xavier could only stare at the throng that seemed unable to sit still, the list passed around to everyone to sign, but apparently he was one of the few that had not. The small Ravenclaw in his year had been hesitant, but the slytherin assumed if the list would be cut down, she would lose her chance much later. Glancing over his notes, he thought to copy them down for the express purpose of others who might benefit from them, but knew the last batch of people who'd be getting one would be those hellbent on cheating to get a place in the dragon training.
While he'd hoped the dragon would scare off those who's intent was simply to get closer to Grisby, it didn't work out, and the dragon flew off. The Ravenclaws beside him would most likely have caught more minor details then himself, and he considered charming a quill to write theirs down while he was hidden amongst the crowd.
Grisby, herself, had looked down at the list. From what he could tell in the distance, had taken on far more work then she'd planned. The grin that seemed to be on her face had Xavier rather glad he'd passed the sign-up on rather then put down his name. There were a few pranksters in his house, and he recognized the smile all too well. The toilet broke? One of his own. There's a paper airplane only Gryffindor can grab? Yet another Slytherin's doing. If he could watch the proceedings however, as an observer, then he aught to be alright. There might even be blackmail material. Some of those who signed were rather wealthy and he was short on dragon hide scrapings and unicorn hair.
Taking down the names of those he'd known who'd signed up in shorthand, he'd be keeping notes on house and appearance for the rest. He jotted down 'anti-tech zones and magical barriers' by he doubted the good information would be found in easy access libraries. Such powerful methods of crowd and social control could would require more secretive means to obtain the information. Jotting down 'Valuable research?Anti-tech research/magical barriers..the best sources of good intel...and questionable and legal means to obtain them..how they are errected, taken down, weaknesses, strength..who'd be alerted, who would notice/care/not care.' beside all the notes that had been passed, he half listened to Grisby as he started on a clean page and made theories on dragons and magic. The new student actually spoke up and Xavier was rather surprised he'd been heard among the whispers and clamor that surrounded them. 'No wonder the castle holds secrets. Between echos from students and whispers from a crowd this big, the school would be our downfall.'
Brewing success one experiment at a time.
