I see I left this at home. Despite obnoxious camp counsellors, Quidditch camp and the World Cup were decent enough, particularly considering Germany won. Paying attention to Quidditch is certainly preferable to watching the ministry make fools of themselves. It's almost as if they want the wizarding world controlled by fear before they decide to take action. Incompetence isn't going to stop people from being mauled by werewolves.

If they have all that time to be running frivolous festivals, they should be saving lives.

It's a relief to finally get home from that mad house of a school. It seems as if two weeks can't pass without some nonsense occurring there.

Charon appeared pleased to see us as well. But he seems anxious since I saw him last. Why Mytho saw fit to mention what the Prophet said about the dragons is beyond me. It does nothing but worry him needlessly.

I may as well go flying since the weather is decent.

...I'm a bloody idiot. I shouldn't have even made that prediction...but how the hell could I have known that'd actually happen? Predicting she'd--

And Raimei's too much of a moron to back down. So many times I let things happen, been a damned coward and done nothing...then the one time I say something, I'm still useless to stop it. What the hell is the point of this power if its nothing but a harbinger of everything I can do nothing about?

Dammit! This is...identical to 10 years ago. I hope...for that idiot's sake...that I'm wrong.

[ooc: Mood shows up as calm and icon shows up as 'Elusive head turned'. Strikes are semi-hackable, but the private part is extremely difficult to hack UNLESS you know him well or are a close friend of Raimei. Then it's still REALLY hard to hack anyway, and you have to ask yourself why any of them would be hacking Fakir's entry. 8D As to this. Fakir made a prediction. About something. And he's wrong. But no one knows that. \o.]

I woke up in the Slytherin dorm for whatever reason, but apparently that's not uncommon. I should get back to Gryffindor, but for the meantime whatever irritates these delusional inbreds is fine by me.

I could use the distraction from all this studying at any rate. Don't know why NEWTs would be such a big deal for me anyway, especially if Quidditch team try outs go well, but at least Mother and Father'll be happy. I hope I get at least ONE O on the written portions this time around. I haven't seen Mytho around and Rue will probably want to study with him, but...Ahiru, are you game for studying?

Of course, I could just predict how I'll do. Mother said not to abuse it all the time, but...

...E's and O's, but I'll be distressed. No complaints there! ...But I wonder what would make me distressed about acing tests?

Not that I need Divinations prep, but... Anyone want me to predict how you'll do on exams for them? I'm rather accurate most of the time.

[ooc: *ignores her own hiatus* OKAY, SO. AU Fakir (predictably) has parents and grew up with Rue as his sister. Because he never predicted his parents would died and he never heard the prediction that he'd be useless, he isn't nearly as overbearing and intense, nor is he a controlling, closed up, asshole. He also is less studious because he didn't force his nose to the grindstone and has trouble with written portions of tests. And plays even more Quiddy than before. Because he's not as overbearing, he didn't tell Mytho to hide away his darker half (Kyro)...so Mytho never suppressed himself so much and didn't have a nervous breakdown and drop out of school. Innnn addition, Mytho started dating Rue earlier, and thus never dated Ahiru, so Fakir never had to steal save her from Kyro annnnd so they never started dating. :| And he's in Gryffindor now.

Feel free to ask him to predict things, he's sure as shit not going to do it again later because he hates that ability normally, just let me know (through ooc notes or messaging) what the answer the their question. And anyone who read all this gets a cookie. 8D;;]

I didn't get much sleep at all with all that goddamn racket last night. Of all the days of the year to have all this bloody noise. Whatever the hell it is, I hope they get rid of the damn thing before ex---

[there is a loud crash and this sound can be heard throughout the castle:]


Dragon crash.aif -

[ooc: EVENT START! Sorry about the lateness, but I'm early on the west coast! =D;; The dragons have just impacted against the Gryffindor tower, and the rest of the destruction will proceed from there. Go forth and panic, characters! ♥ And yes, today is Fakir's birthday and I'm a horrible person. I made that sound effect myself, so enjoy! :3]

I don't see why this damn school can't have a single week without some disruption or another. As if that horrendous field trip wasn't enough to last me a LIFETIME.

Slytherin team, I'm calling a practice today assuming the damn field isn't covered in bloody animals. We have a match at the end of the month. And I'll be damned if we lose to Hufflepuff like last year.

[Filtered to Fin // Viewable to Slytherin Team]

In the highly likely unlikely likely unlikely chance that I'm out of commission for the match due to that idiot and her glandular fever, I'm appointing you as my stand in. You'll have to make sure they don't kill each other in my absence.

[//Filter]

( Private )

[ooc: Pretend this was posted way earlier today, orz. SO. Since Raimei has mono, Fakir is pretty sure there's a chance he'll get it and is taking necessary precautions. He's also had a conversation with Raimei about Raikou that made him ponder his own parents and Rue's thoughts on their passing. :V That private filter can only be fully hacked if you know him REALLY well (if you have to ask, you don't), anyone else wouldn't be able to get more than bits and pieces. The strikes are all hackable though. Icon shows as this and mood shows as "determined" unless you hack.]

Like we need MORE obnoxious people here. Most of the damn student body is enough.

Since I was stuck in the hospital wing because of a certain blue haired annoyance, I didn't get to see Alima go. I would have liked to but good riddance in any event.

[ooc: I wasn't going to post for this event, but I couldn't resist. Have fun torturing Fakir~ /o/]

[Accidental Voice Post]

*A familiar grumpy voice is muttering with baby noises in the background* ...How the hell was I supposed to know babies were so damn impressionable?

*the baby is giggling and clapping noises can be heard* ...At least SOMEONE is amused by this nonsense.

*A tiny voice speaks* Gah-damit...! Gah-damit! Gah-damit! Gah-damit!

H-Hey, stop that, dam--....darn it!

*Shuffling noises* What the...why is my journal o--

[/End Voice Post]

[ooc: So. Because I and to a lesser extent Raimei-mun are terrible people, we decided that little baby Alima's first words would take after her Pop-pop! =D That meaning, they'd be 'goddamn it!' in this thread. And when Fakir talks it'll be in sparkle motion so be prepared for more blinding. \o/]

[Filtered to Slytherins//Easily Hackable to anyone else]

It's amazing what idiots most of you are. Someone got savagely injured and you bastards have the nerve to be amused. Not that any of you care about anything other than yourselves, but imagine it was someone you cared about who got carved up and left for dead. I hope you think of that when you're rotting in Azkaban.

[/Filtered]

I didn't know him, but I wish the best for Arisato. And hopefully that Schweinhund will get EXACTLY what's coming to him. I won't blame the teachers for not being there, but it's damned remarkable this managed to happen with so many instructors and ministry members around. You'd think they'd have locked that bastard up by now.

Alima has been quiet. Maybe she shuts up when she senses something amiss.

[ooc: ONE IS THE LONELIEST NUMBER THAT THERE EVER WAS. No, but srsly, Fakir is fuming at his house right now. And yes, he threw in a German word, don't hate me German speakers, I used a german curse glossary and it could be used wrong. >_> EDIT: Got a better one, danke KP! =D All those strikes? Easily hackable. And he doesn't care if anyone calls him a traitor to his house. :V]

Just when I think the school can't do ANYTHING more ludicrous, it continues to prove me wrong. Hmph. But this really crosses the line. How the hell do they expect us to get any WORK done? I didn't get ANY damned sleep last night. And with a game on Sunday...Tch.

Speaking of...

AS GRYFFINDOR IS DETERMINED TO BE OBNOXIOUS, SLYTHERIN WILL CLEARLY HAVE TO SHOW THEM WHO'S BETTER.

Which means from 4 until curfew, WE'RE PRACTICING. And dump your brats with someone else, I don't want to see them at practice. No excuses.

[Filtered to Raimei]

It's She's yours tonight.

[ooc: ...SHIIIIT, I just lost The Game by writing this. 8| Normally Fakir isn't goaded into showing house pride, but there are more than a few Gryffindors he wants to beat. And probably WILL attempt to physically do so during the match~]

...I positively refuse to eat any food made by this goddamn school until I leave in June. That was HUMILIATING beyond all belief. And more importantly...

Anyone who spoke to me yesterday can just disregard what I said and did. I obviously wasn't in the right state of mind.

[Private to Raimei]

...We're never, EVER, speaking of that again. And as far as I'm concerned, I don't know you.

[/Private]

[Private to Ahiru]

...Since I'm almost positive you saw that foolishness...I'm sorry. I would have never done something so idiotic under normal circumstances. I know I probably ruined Valentine's day, but...thank you for the Valentine, and I love you. And ONLY you.

[/Private]

Anyone who sent me valentines has my thanks...but the sooner this damn Holiday is over, the better.

[ooc: SO. Anyone who was at dinner yesterday will have seen a very love potioned up Fakir and Raimei STANDING ON A TABLE AND KISSING. Cruelty, thy name is Kristen. All of the strikes are difficult other than the ones in the filters which are gone.]

Hn. I seem to be in a lighter mood than typically. I wonder why that is?

Well, regardless, I know my team members may wish to spend time with their significant others, so they can have the whole weekend off. Enjoy spending time with those you care for.

Ahiru, I'd love to see you as well.

[ooc: LATE AGAIN, but what else is new? Have a hoor twitterpated Fakir which is backdated to Friday morning. And I'm breaking my hiatus this weekend, stfu. :| Be glad, because those valentines were HATE to assemble. HAAAATE.]

Huh. It's nice to be unaffected by the castle's nonsense for once.

Slytherin team. Since we have two new and most likely unqualified members, we're practicing today. Affected or not.


[ooc: Ahahaha no ears for him.]

[Filtered to Raimei and viewable to Professor Albarn // Accidentally hackable because his mun is cruel and likes to watch him squirm ]

...Look. I found my I was wro I apolo

Apparently, you lucked out and my owl is fine.

...

My apologies.

[ooc: Lol, I like...never post twice in a day with one character. OH WELLZ. All those strikes are almost impossible to read unless you REALLY look hard. XD Icon shows as "Turned back evasive" and mood shows as "indifferent" unless you hack really well.]

...That wasn't the most humiliating awkward of incidents Hogwarts has had.

But it was up there regardless. At least it's over.

And...I returned your...garment as I no longer have need of it. ...Thank you.

I went to mail a letter to Mytho, but Lohengrin was missing. And there was some frosted mess all over the owlery. Is it that damn cat again...?


[ooc: Middle strike is filtered to Rue (but the small one needs to be hacked), the others are difficult to hack. And Lohengrin is Fakir's owl (yes, it resembles him 8DD) and, after hearing about the cake monster, he will probably think it ate his owl and be ENRAGED. It didn't, but he doesn't know that. That damn cat refers to Rue's cat Odile, who periodically visits Lohengrin. /o/]

Hmph. Goddamn contraptions. They seem easier to take off than to put on... The fact that I've needed one TWICE in the spans of two months just shows how damn ridiculous this school is.

...Are you switched too, moron?


[ooc: That strike is hackable, for those who want to see him spaz. OBVIOUSLY, Fakir is talking about a bra. Which he received from his similarly busty sister. 8DDD Hers might be a BIIIIT tight though, because Fakir is STACKED. And played by Vanessa from Madlax with some color change by the talented Ahiru-mun. ♥ *gives luffs and rape*]

[Private to Rue]

Pack your things. You're coming with me to Charon's. That isn't a request.

[/Private]

The ministry seems to have a spectacular knack for wasting time. Closing off the damn school AFTER the attacks so I couldn't-, interrogating students who were either completely absent or under attack themselves, and being completely incapable of showing up at Hogsmeade in a timely enough fashion to prevent more lost lives? I fail to see how they were anything but negligent and idiotic. You'd think them seeing Ahiru and Charon would have been sufficient. Worthless.

( Private along with a long ass ooc note and present list )

Well done, team. Despite numerous complaints about weather conditions or other nonsense, you all managed to do a decent job.

Ikuto, you can apparently do more than just run your mouth. Fenrir, the time you don't spend being an idiot you're not terrible at hitting bludgers. That goes for you as well, Tayuya when you weren't breaking some kid's arm. Asuka, your moronic move cost us points, but as you caught the snitch, I suppose that made up for it.

Overall...good work.

And to Ravenclaw. You weren't abysmal. We were just far better.

[Private to Ahiru]

I take it we're still meeting up as planned?

[/Private]

[ooc: That strike is relatively easy to read. ...And, yes, Fakir is an ass. 8D;; It's how he shows his love! /o/ You know that somewhere deep in the cold stone bolder that is his heart lies a very tiny light of warmth for his team's and their victory. He's not even frowning as much! But yes. Feel free to call him out on his 'tough love'. 8|]

The festival was a waste of time. The less said about it, the better.

Snow or not, I still expect to see all of the members of the Slytherin team up before classes to get a practice in. We're running during lunch and doing drills after classes. Anyone who complains about the cold can run themselves warm.

If this frickin' school has ONE more event, I'm going to go POSTAL!! Isn't this skeeeetchy place done playing these games with us? Like, GAWD. Why can't they, like, leave us alone, or something?

I like, wanted to see you Ahiru, fer SURE, but this is so totally LAME! I will like, talk to like, you when it's over!

[ooc: Speaks for itself me thinks. This hurts to write. D:]

Bloody school and it's goddamn foolishness. It's almost as if it's intentionally making my last year as obnoxious as possible. How anyone manages to study amidst the nonsense is beyond me. Particularly given the fact that the books are currently enormous by comparison...Dammit. I should have more sense than to trust ANYTHING this school produces given its propensity toward idiocy.

Tamakblond idiot. I don't know what rubbish you intended to put me in for Halloween, but I have no intention of wearing it. I'm sure whatever it is will be stupid and I'd like a NORMAL holiday for once. Preferably as the correct size and with my girlfriend.

Whatever ailment any of you have, I still expect the Slytherin team to be up at 5 AM tomorrow for practice. Any excuses or complaints will earn you 50 suicides.

And why the HELL are these damn flowers singing?

[ooc: Hur hur, normal sized ooc note. Grumpy tiny Fakir is grumpy and tiny. Poke him for fun and profit! \o/]
