|| Thanks for the welcome-back, Princess! I look forward to joining the group once the new DADA homework gets up. ||
Having finished his brief unpacking-- he'd only taken home what he had deemed absolutely necessary-- Carrigan meticulously went around the boy's dormitory, tidying up and practicing his Wingardium Leviosa spell in order to move things out of the way as he ran his hands over the dusty furniture. Finally, he figured things were as good as they were going to get when he was the only male present to clean, and he gathered his clothes and threw them haphazardly in his trunk. If there was one thing about Carrigan, it was that despite his perfectionist nature, his clothes were always rumpled and too loose on him. He changed quickly and threw on his robes, leaving the tie somewhat loose.

Miranda walked back into the common room and didn't even stop to think about it this time, she just walked right into the boys dormitory.
Seeing that Carrigan was back, now she wished she had. Curses! Why did I have to be born so impulsive? She'd been trying to put off their undoubtedly awkward reunition, but it seemed that plan had failed.
Though no matter how awkward this was probably going to be, she couldn't help the instinct to attck him in a giant hug, another one of her uncurably bad habits. "Hi!" She yelled in his ear. Ok, maybe she wasn't so sad to see him. Taking the bed beside him, she asked "So, how are you? Did you really think I wouldn't notice that you left?" She laughed and added playfully, "You can't hide from me that easily." Noticing the new colors in his hair, she chuckled a little more, but chose not to add anything.

|| Hey, guys! 8D I drew Carrigan this evening. Is he anything like you guys thought? ||
He jumped when he heard the loud squeal of the door opening behind him. Carrigan whirled around, flushing deeply and pulling his robes around him despite the fact that he was fully dressed in more layers than was probably healthy for the season. The next thing he was aware of was being thrown backward by the momentum with which Miranda enveloped him in a hug, moving back several inches on the hardwood. He barely had a chance to return the embrace before she bounced away and settled on what he'd taken to calling 'her' bed.
"I'm fine, thank you," he said, sounding a big shell-shocked from being ambushed like he had been. His vibrant eyes were a bit dazed looking. "I'd known you would have noticed my absence... I'm still the only other male in the dormitory!"
Somewhat self-conscious, Carrigan ran his hands through his hair as though trying to hide the streaks in it and flushed deeply at the implications of her teasing. However, instead of turning away and avoiding conversation as he would have several months ago, the Ravenclaw broke into a small smile and teased her right back. "Unless you've been mingling with the other Houses during my absence?"

[[You are more than welcome Carrigan, I do hope to see you as part of the study group. D.A.D.A should be posted soon, or at least that is what Professor Clarion told me.]]

Princess awoke from her nap due to a loud rapping on her window. She sat up in her bed and looked in that direction and noticed her owl Nickademus was holding a post and trying to get her attention. She quickly jumped out of bed, and opened the window for him. The lovely bird hopped onto the window sill and flew into her room. He laid the note on her bed and awaited for his treat. Princess was fumbling with the tin can, and finally got it open. "Here you are my cutie! Two treats, one for bringing the post, and the other for your patience." Nickademus hooted softly at Princess, graciously accepted his two treats, flew up to the window sill and out the window.
Princess, who was now fully awake, began to open her mail, it said: "New House points update!! Ravenclaw in the lead with 199 points against Gryffindor house." Princess estatic with this news, jumps off her bed, runs to her door throws it open and began hollering and cheering up and down the hallway. She continues to holler and cheer downstairs to the common room table where she notices that no one is there to hear her announcement. "Hmmmm, I guess I will have to wait til some more Ravenclaws arrive back from the Great hall and Classes in order to congratulate them on such a wonderful job they all have been doing this term." With that thought, she slowly walks back upstairs to her dorm to go back to sleep.

|| Thanks for changing the last sentence in your last post, drew. I was going to ask you what that meant, but I didn't want to look like an idiot. LOL Woah, Carrigan is a lot different than I imagined him. I imagined him with shorter, black air, but otherwise, it looks pretty good. biggrin ||
Miranda settled herself in "her" bed and replied. "Well, that's good.", still laughing at his reaction to her attacking him. It was the same as everyone's she'd ever done that to, but she couldn't help but laugh. She also added, after looking around. "So you are. It must be lonely. At least you get sleep though. What with Mikki and Princess, I'm lucky if I do."
She had to think about his next comment. She didn't get it, but laughed along anyway, not wanting to expose herself. She was glad that he had "come out of his shell" and didn't want to ruin it.

|| XDDDD;;; I reread that sentence about an hour after I typed it and went, "WHOA! What the hell was I taking when I wrote that?" So I changed it. :'D;; Y'know, I imagined him with short, black-ish hair at first, too. I even found a half-finished picture of him where I tried to draw him that way, but it just didn't work. When I started on that picture, I ended up drawing longer hair and it felt better... and then he became a brunette. 8DD;;
And. Hoorah for being so far in the lead as far as House points go! 8DDD GO RAVENCLAW! ||
"It is a little lonely," he said regretfully. "I'm honestly concerned that all this estrogen will begin rubbing off on me." This was a joke of course, and also a jab at his habit to dye his hair, which his sister had always joked as being a feminine thing to do. However, he didn't say this and kept quite out of self-abuse, smiling a little. "I don't suppose you knew this, but I'm quite the night owl. Even if I am exhausted for the whole day, once the moon is up, I'm awake again." Carrigan shrugged. "It's rather aggravating some nights, when I know I should sleep but can't."
He bent over his trunk to nervously push the wrinkled sleeve of one of his shirts back inside, his hair falling in front of his face. He pushed it back behind his ear distractedly.

[[Woah! Where have I been? Guess I've just been a little busy lately... But summer's soon, and I shouldn't be tooo darn busy!]]
Mikki, occupying herself in the common room in her fluffy chair reading, was wondering when Miranda would come downstairs from the boy's dormitory. She had been up there for a while, and Mikki really wanted to talk to her. Guess I won't get the opportunity today, she thought. Dang.

Princess' alarm went off in her dorm room and she got up still a little groggy. She rubbed her eyes and looked at the clock--wow already dinner time. She sleepily gets out of bed and opens her dorm door, just at that moment remembering her earlier note about the house points. She musters up the energy to run down the stairs and to her surprise sees Carrigan looking dashing as always, miranda, and Mikki. "hey guys did you see our house points? We are STILL in the lead with 199 points over Gryffindor, and I have completed my charms and potions homework so hopefully we shall get more! Speaking of homework, does anyone need any help studying?" Princess looked happily at her fellow Ravenclaws, who probably thought she was nuts by this time.
[[Carrigan--I actually pictured you as a brunette! However blonde seems to suit you as well.]]
Princess quickly looks in the direction of Mikki with pleading eyes to help her out in regards to the study group. She was hoping that she could get some 'alone' time with Carrigan to see how they could become better friends. As usual she tried not to be too obvious, not wanting to alarm Miranda who had claim to Carrigan as his girlfriend. She slowly decended the last three steps and then spoke once more: "ummm Mikki, where is Miranda #2?? Wasn't she needing help with Defense against the Dark arts?"

|| Look at me! *dances around like she just got out of jail* I managed to find time to come on even though it's finals week! ||
"Oh. That must suck." She said distractedly. She really didn't know what to say now, and was searching for an excuse to leave, when she heard princess yelling about something. "I'm gonna go see what Princess is yelling about. See you later." She gave him a little hug, and walked out of the boy's dormitory, and down the stairs to tell mikki whatever it was she had wanted to know.
"Hey mikki, princess," she said when she got down the stairs. "Are we really that far ahead? That's awesome!" she added, giving mikki a hug. She liked giving hugs, it was just ione of her things. "Mikki, you wanted something? Come upstairs with me and I'll tell you." Turning away and hoping mikki was following her, she went up the stairs to thegirls dormitory.

"Hey Miranda nice to see you are back. Let me know if you want any study group help okay? Yes, Ravenclaw house is THAT much ahead in house cup points, I am so estatic about it!!" Princess watched as Miranda addressed Mikki and ascended the stairs. She continued to walk over to the couch and wait until Mikki got done so they all could go to the great hall to eat.

[[Hello everyone!!
I'm back after a VERY long absence (about 3 or 4 months). I wonder if anyone remembers me? There are quite a few people I don't know, but I remember Princess, Ari, Mikki, and a few others (I don't know if they're still here though). I will talk to everyone tomorrow and attempt to explain myself. not really looking forward to that...
It's great to be back! I'm so excited!]]

((Hi, and welcome back!))
Miranda sighed after she quit Defense Against the Dark Arts. She layed down on her bed feeling somewhat relieved that she had quit. Miranda picks her owl, Starfire, up onto her shoulder.
((Sorry I haven't been here in a while! I promise that I'll be around a lot more, OK?))

[[Sorry for not getting on as much as I usually do. stressed There's a lot of drama in my life right now and I've got a lot on my mind.]]
Mikki slammed her book shut, without the intention of being annoyed, but because she was uber curious about how Miranda would answer her questions. She followed her up the stairs and almost at the same time she shut the door behind her, she started the interrogation. "So, Miranda. Are you and Carrigan 'official' yet? Or is it just sort of a 'trying-it-out' sort of fling?" Mikki knew these questions weren't fair, she had gone through them fairly recently with her muggle friends. She had to ask though. The questions were like flames, burning to get out and be answered.

"Bye..." Carrigan replied softly as Miranda departed the boy's dormitory. He continued to meticulously clean what there was for him to, suddenly uncomfortable. When he felt he'd done all he could, he turned and left the room, slowly taking the stairs down two at a time. He sat in his usual chair, folding his legs beneath him as he kneeled. The sounds of the Common Room were a dull roar in his ears; he was extremely distracted and he didn't know why. He looked down at himself, self-consciously straightening his clothes and rolling his wrinkled sleeves up to his elbows. His arms were stick thin-- not quite unhealthily so, but he certainly could stand to gain some weight. He regarded his right forearm with a critical eye.
