Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
"Yes. You and Lucas can go clean up now." She said, flicking her wand to open the door. She didn't like Caiden's tone when he talked about Lucas's 'powers'. It wasn't a power, but a curse. Still, if his older sister had been attacked or hurt at all, Caiden wasn't likely to trust Lucas for a long time.
Lillian noticed, as all the students left, Rhiannon was the last one out. She looked a bit more downcast than usual even. She seemed pale, tired, wan, whatever the word was. Al was second to last out and Al smiled weakley at her mom, who smiled in return. Lillian felt bad for dragging Al into this, but Al needed to know. She needed to understand what was happening, why it was. She gave Al and Rhi their wands back before they went. Rhi didn't look at her, didn't thank her, didn't do anything. She just walked and looked cold, still, a statue.

Neither seemed to want to do the action, but Caiden the least. She wasn't to pleased by what he said but it was understandable and of course, Lucas would never hurt anybody or he would probably tear himself apart before Caiden got to him.
Fionna allowed the two to take their wands out of her hands and she stuck her own wand up her sleeve in its usual position. She gave a nod to the Headmistress before following Caiden and Lucas out of the office. She wasn't sure where she was going to head but would end up somewhere.

After she went up the terrifying stair case, she stayed on the same floor, assuming that the kid pointed up the staircase because it was on the same floor that she needed to be on. She looked around and really didn't see much other than a few statues, some paintings, and another hallway leading towards, or away, whichever way you wanted to put it, from a gargoyle. It was rather frightening, but she just kept looking around. She walked up and down the hallway, only seeing empty classrooms and bathrooms. She wasn't sure what she was to do, knowing that she didn't have a place to sleep for the night, nor did she know where all of her stuff disappeared to. She assumed it was sent to where ever her room was in the castle, which she was hoping was on the ground floor somewhere. She stood there, feeling frustrated, and she almost started to feel lonely and isolated. She couldn't stand that feeling - it made her nervous. She took a few deep breaths, and just sat by the gargoyle, hoping that someone would come by to help her out."

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian woke up from a bit of a slumber. One of her paintings was yelling at her to wake up, there was a lost girl standing outside. That must be the new girl, Kierra! In all this confusion with Caiden, she'd almost forgotten. She nodded and thanked the painting, then opened the door. Sure enough, there stood a lost looking Ravenclaw. She looked similar to another new student. Probably a coincidence.
"Hello!" Lillian greeted. She shook Kierra's hand. "I was just about to look for you, sorry about that. My name is Headmistress Nikolai, it's great to meet you. You can come in my office for your schedule and directions on how to get around." She said gently, feeling super guilty for not being there earlier.

She was going to ask the headmistress about them, but then realized they were probably just a safety precaution. As she followed the headmistress up, she walked into the office, rather intrigued by all she was seeing. She took a seat in the office, comfortable in the nice armchair she had in her office. She smiled, finally relieved that she wasn't alone anymore.
She had heard a lot about Hogwarts, knowing that they went by houses, and she wanted to know what house she would be put into. She had read a lot about the different houses, and remembered quite a few things. She wasn't very daring or brave, so she didn't feel as if though she belonged in Gryffindor, although she looked out for her friends. She was rather loyal, although she would break the rules if need be to protect a friend or herself. She didn't even know her birth family, so she couldn't be positive if she was eligible enough to get into Slytherin, and she was a rather bright kid, so she figured Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff would be the way for her to go. "Mademoiselle, Eh... Do you know of which house I will be placed een? I was most eempressed by zhe... uhh... deeferrent houses zat I cannot wait to be placeed." It was most obvious that she was becoming tired, because her french accent was showing through more than it was before. She yawned a bit, and waited to hear what the professors reaction would be. Did she know what house she would be put in? Or was there some test she had to take? She was really interested to know how this would all work."

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lillian had the worn, tattered sorting hat at the ready.
"It's simple, really." She explained to Kierra. "This hat will tell us where. We place it on your head, it reads your thoughts, and shouts your house out. If you already know about the houses, you'll understand that there isn't going back once it chooses, and your house is like your family here at Hogwarts. Anyways, let'd just find out, shall we? Here we are."
She placed the hat lightly on Kierra's silky hair. Kierra looked nervous, so getting it over and done with quickly was probably best.
She wasn't a hat stall.
The hat only took a few moments before shouting out, "RAVENCLAW!" For all the paintings to hear. Most of the paintings clapped, especially the ones that had been in Ravenclaw themselves.
"Excellent." Lillian said, placing the hat back on it's shelf. She got some blank parchment, tapped it with her wand and it suddenly starting showing directions on how to get to the Ravenclaw common room. It was no marauder's map, but it was a rough idea of the castle's layout. No tiny details or people, but it should help her just fine. She also tapped another piece of parchment and ta-da, her schedule.
"Here you go." Lillian said, handing both pieces of parchment to Kierra.

Hat had been placed on top of Kierra's head, and she was very nervous at first, unsure what to think of this. She was more surprised to hear the hat shout out a housename than anything else, though, and that was what caused her to flinch and almost scream. But, she held her compusure as the headmistress pulled the hat of of her head, and take it back to where it came from. Then, she watched the headmistress tap a piece of paper, one that would be very beneficial to her so she wouldn't have a hard time finding certain rooms. This made her very happy, as she hated being lost, but more so, she hated being without people.
The headmistress handed it over, and she smiled and looked it through once, seeing that everything had been in order. This year, she knew she would be taking some sort of testing with all of the other students at her same age and grade level, but she also knew that they had been studying here a lot longer, and she wasn't sure where their still level was. Her parents informed her that her skill level would be equal, if not higher than most of the students in her level, and that made her happy, but for some reason, she had a feeling that she would be brutally awaken by a few of the students, and things would drastically change. She thanked the headmistress, and walked out, trying to find the tower labeled "Ravenclaw" in her map. She had a long day ahead of her tomorrow."

Richard had woken up on Monday, feeling determined. He was going to get those three words out of Al if it was the last thing he did. He didn't care if it was handwritten, if she said it, if she signaled it to him from across a room. He needed to establish a relationship with her mother first, and to do that he needed to schedule lessons. To do that, he needed to know when Al had lessons. He first started staking out the Headmaster's office. After all his classes, late in the afternoon, he waited there. He waited for four hours until Al showed up, he'd started spying around here at 3pm, and it was now a bit past 7pm. This was the same time Al had just left the Great Hall. His heart beat faster when she walked inside...the heart ruby still shone around her neck. Her ringlets fanned out behind her and he waited...and waited...until she came back. When she did, it was about 8pm. She had a smile on her face and multiple books in her arms. He had to think of something to do...hmmm...he decided to start walking, like he'd just arrived here. He bumped into her with a bit of force, but made it look like a convincing accident. She toppled onto the stiarcase nearby, just as he'd planned. Then she stopped. It was the trick staircase he'd almost fallen in on his way up here. She let out a tiny gasp of pain as her leg sank deep into the step, her being so small. It sank up to her knee, her books were scattered just out of her reach. It was too easy! "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry Al, I didn't even see you there!" He said, lying through his teeth.

~ Alison Nikolai~ ~3rd year Gryffindor~ (Yes these pictures are me) 
Al had just come up from the Great Hall with Drago. She went in the office, had her lesson. Her mom gave her some books she might be inetersted in, and she was overjoyed. She was making real improvement, she knew it. But as she was skipping along with her books, she found herself falling down the staircase by the office, her leg sank down a trick step and it was painful.
"Oh, hi Richard...It's okay." She said, embarassed, trying to pull her leg out. She was a wearing a cute skirt, so this was extremely awkward to say the least. She was holding onto the railing with one hand, she had her other hand trying to reach for books, she was sitting on the steps since her leg had sunk to her knee, and her other knee was bent a bit so...well...her floaty skirt had drifted up to her upper thighs. She smoothed down the fabric as best she could, struggling to get her leg free.

"Here, let me help you out." He said in tones of concern. He put his arms under her shoulders and pulled with about...half of his strength. Her leg slid out just a little bit, but not much. He took the opportunity of standing above her to look down her shirt. He wiped some non-existant sweat off his brow. "You're stuck really tight, I'm so sorry." He said, making sure she didn't think she was fat. She needed to feel good around him...comfortable. Easy going... He walked around to her leg. He gently put his hands below her knee and pulled with actual force this time, but he was careful. Her leg was truthfully, stuck in pretty well, so as he pulled, his hands slid up to her mid-thigh. He pulled out her leg a bit slower...so his hands would slide up even more....He stole a quick glance at her face to see that it was bright red. So innocent. He let go a second later as her foot popped out, not that he'd wanted to. Then he picked up all her books and stacked them neatly in his arms. He put on that look of concern. "I'm so, so sorry." He repeated. It was sickening, having to say sorry to someone below him...but it was almost worth it. It would be soon enough.

Lucas walked into the Headmistress's office on Wedensday night, with Fionna, as promised. The Headmaster was smiling behind her desk as she greeted them. She held out the wolfsbane goblet and handed it to Lucas with a look that plainly said, 'might as well just get it over with.'
Lucas held his nose and chugged the muck down. It tasted awful and went down his throat like a burning, smelly mud. It was still smoking as it slid down into his lungs and his face turned a little bit paler. Disgusting. He pulled a face before taking the rest. Ugh...horrible.
But he listened with interest as Fionna and Lillian talked about tomorrow night, when they would visit as the leopard and doe. Lucas was a bit nervous. He'd be in his right mind and all, but he wasn't so sure...what if Fionna saw him transform and decided he was a horrible beast? It wasn't like he was a super-cute werewolf, did she think he'd look like an overgrown puppy? He wasn't so sure. Maybe if he was in a friendly mood, he might. But he'd never had to be so 'friendly' as a werewolf. He never had to communicate with others. He was sure that as long as, as promised, Fionna brought her perfume or something of hers that he could smell, he'd recognize them. He knew that as long as it registered who they were, he'd obviously be okay. He was just having a lot of second thoughts, praying this didn't jeopardize their relationship.

Headmistress Lillian Van Nikolai
Lilliam smiled graciously as Lucas and Fionna walked in. She felt bad as Lucas drank the wolfsbane, it couldn't taste too good just by the looks from the smoking goblet. Then she adressed Fionna.
"Alright, I just wanted to review the basic list of things we need to be sure of before doing this. First, do you have something with your scent on it, like your perfume?
Second, you wait until Lucas approaches you, letting him make the first move.
Third, showing him you're in control of the situation. Even if he makes the first move, you can't let him take control and do whatever he wants or leave, which who knows Lucas, you might try to."
She smiled at him.
"You need to show that you aren't afraid to stand up to him so he'll, well, not really listen...but perhaps not mess with you and try to run off. Don't make any threatening moves, just stay as calm as you can. I'm sure this'll work out fine, and if worse comes to worse, me and Fionna will transform back and go down the tunnel. Lucas, you should be able to recognize us pretty quickly, as long as we don't do anything sudden since it'll be difficult to process. Fionna, once we're there, stay in that animal form as long as possible. You aren't to transform back, if you have to, go to another room. All cleat?"

She had a bad headache all day from her hangover. She knew she would never be drinking again in excess. It just was not worth it! How do people drink so much all the time. She couldn't even fathom it.
She watched as Lucas drank the wolfsbane. She had seen it once before in the hospital wing but hadn't paid attention much. It looked disgusting and by the look on Lucas' face it tasted the same as it looked. She felt bad for him having to drink it. Fionna knew there was no way to make it taste better or it would render the effects useless.
Fionna listened to the headmistress' instruction intently trying to ignore her pulsing head. She nodded every now and then and repeated a few important things under her breathe and said, "Got it. I always wear a special perfume so I think that should be good." Fionna thought it would be. Lucas enjoyed it enough or so she supposed.

Despite the horrible taste of the wolfsbane lingering in his mouth, he couldn't help but smile when he heard Fionna and the Headmaster talk. He was so grateful...all the precautions they took. His worry ebbed away, the Headmaster obviously understood what he was doing, she must've researched this and really thought about what needed to be done.
"Thanks so much for this." He said genuinely. For once, he wouldn't be spending the full moon alone. For the first time since he was ten, he was going to get to look up at the huge silver spotlight in that dark sky and someone would be beside him.
When the Headmistress dismissed them, Lucas nudged Fionna gently with his elbow on the way out.
"This is the first full moon I've almost looked forward to. Thank you, so much, Fionna. I love you so much, forever and always." He kissed her cheek and intertwined his fingers with hers as they walked down the hallway together.
