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 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.]

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*]

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|]

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:]

Hmph. Why this goddamn school finds its curses amusing is beyond me. Talking like a bloody idiot, of all things. You'd think it'd WANT people to pass their NEWTs without distraction, but apparently that's too much to ask for. Seven years of this castle's nonsense and I'm STILL not accustomed to it.

At least a good portion of my classes have been decent...aside from... now that they're being taught with some competence.

Assuming you aren't still spouting curses, we can have those lessons whenever you have free time, moron.

All the goddamn people amused by this disgust me. People's lives were in danger and all they can talk about is how bloody entertaining it is. Especially from my own house. Makes me revolted to be a Slytherin. For all their insipid talk of purity, they're the fucking dirty ones. As if blood means anything.

Charon seems overly concerned for my well-being in going back to Hogwarts this semester, but the only way to defend ourselves is to return and continue to study spells against whatever threat that is out there. I have no intention of running away just because some prejudiced zealots want to provoke fear in those who oppose them. That would be giving them exactly what they want. And...I'm less concerned about myself anyway...and more concerned about...

In any event, Ahiru is safe and that's what matters.

[[Private//Extremely Difficult to Hack]]
...Not that I didn't have my own part in her injury. While Ahiru was getting her neck twisted by that...fucking bastard, I wasn't there to protect her at all. To think that a goddamn stunning spell would...I was...useless. I wasn't there fast enough...and even when I got to her, it was my recklessness that prompted her to get hurt. Damn it! In the most extreme of situations...when she was a spell away from possible death, even then I wasn't able to help...

I'm not...strong enough. It's...been a year since today...and all I can focus on is what could have happened. And even if Ahiru says otherwise...my cowardice still pervades.
[//Private]

[[Private to...the teacher that took the blow for me]]
I'm not certain of your name but...for getting in the way of that spell, and more importantly for saving Ahiru...thank you. I appreciate it greatly. There are few who would be that brave. I don't know what I would have-- In any rate, you have my gratitude.
[/Private]

[ooc: Strikes are difficult to hack, except in Nia's filter where they're crossed out enough to leave a groove in the paper. 8D;; Annnnnnd...Monday was Fakir and Ahiru's one year anniversary! =D;;; Bawwww. Icon will show up as "Solid Glare", unless hacked.]

Huh. Ironic that I'd find this thing just as I was being dragged to this pointless event we were leaving to attend the school festival. Undoubtedly for the best considering that moron was showing Charon pictures from the school year, including that idiotic picture from when I was turned into a child and played stupid games with that pest Rue.

But at the very least, I was able to avoid too much foolishness over the summer time. When we visited Mytho, he seemed well, so perhaps things are better all around. Not that that klutz has gotten any better at flying a broom...or managing not to trip over her own feet, for that matter...although going dancing was more entertaining than anticipated. Either way, nearly anything would beat the train wreck of last summer, aside from getting--

Why we'd be in any rush to go back to the school early, especially in these ridiculous outfits, is beyond me, but hopefully anyone irritating will have stayed home. But I doubt it.

( Private // Difficult to hack )

[ooc: Pretend this was posted on Saturday, okay? 8D;;; strikes are all relatively easy to hack, smaller strikes are somewhat harder. Fakiru outfits are Japanese fanart, Ahiru-mun just made Fakir more frowny for this icon~]

Hn. It would seem that the clamor has dwindled significantly, which is quite the relief. If nothing else, the arrival of the flood of parents was...telling. That aside, I've packed my trunk for Stratford, and with any luck I'll spend the duration of the summer there. And not a moment too soon, there's only so much foolishness one can take in a single school year. ...Have you finished packing, moron?

[ooc: So because I completely FAIL and got busy and missed Parent days, late distant!Fakir is late. >>;;]

[Private // Easily Hackable because he's stressed]

...Goddamn sadistic Nurse. Goddamn pain in the ass blond and her fucking mallet. If I see that damned...weibstück within ten feet of me, I'm hexing her into oblivion. AND we can't get this bloody pendant off, even though Ahiru has OWLS tomorrow...plus my own exams... It's as if all this nonsense decides to happen at the worst moment. Hmph.

If nothing else, in looking for a way to remove this damned necklace, at least I've gotten charms and DADA studying done. Not that I've found a solution yet...and we're running out of time.

[Accidental Voice Post]

*faint rustling noises as he gets up and sits on the side of his bed, nudging the duck next to his pillow* Hey...moron, wake up. *more rustling as he nudges the duck further* Wake up, idiot; do you want to be a duck forever? You have OWLS tomorrow and we still haven't gotten this damn necklace off... *barely audible sound of ruffled feathers as he picks her up* ......Hmph. This dummy could sleep through a banshee screaming... *a long pause and then the muffled sound of what could be a kiss on a feathered head...and then a loud POOF!* ...Ahiru?! What the HELL just--OH MY GOD--

[ooc: Pretend this was this morning, kthx. >>;; So in true cornball fashion Ahiru is back to normal! Buuuut...naked! In Fakir's lap! In the middle of the sixth year male Slytherin dorms! 8DD Anyone should be able to hear the voice post on the journals, but if you're in that dorm, feel free to witness it. ;D]

...If anyone comes across a small yellow duck, be advised that it's actually a GIRL, a 5th year Hufflepuff named Ahiru. Anyone attempting to eat or otherwise harm her is asking for a trip to the hospital wing. And if anyone happens to know how to to remove curses or otherwise cursed items, inform me immediately.


[ooc: That strike is filtered from teachers. Baaaackdated to earlier this week, i.e.: BEFORE the Quiddy match, because I fail. Reaction to that will be sometime later. >_>;; Ohhh yes. Anyone who sees Fakir will notice he's carrying a yellow duck where ever he goes, including the dorms. Snoochie boochies~]

There have been numerous complaints about the chocolates, but I can't see why; they made me feel GREAT! All the same, I hope everyone returns to normal, it would be terrible for everyone to remain in such low spirits, especially with Quidditch on the way! Go Team Slytherin~! ^___^ (I'll be playing in our next game, so root for me!)

Speaking of terrible, I'm very sorry Lilie, but the wonderful book you gave me appears to be incapacitated currently, so if I can find some way to repay you, let me know! Perhaps we can have tea together! On this same note, THANK YOU GAI for helping me out; I don't know what I'd do without a pal like you! And how is my FAVORITE roommate Matt doing? You're always such a kidder, with your loud announcements and your cancer sticks! I didn't mean to be so grumpy when you were asking about Ahiru, my business is your business after all! And Tamaki, I'm terribly sorry I was so RUDE to you, of COURSE I'll join your Host Club, in fact, nothing would make me happier! And again, congrats to your stepmum, Sophie!

Ahiru, as CUTE as it is to see you stumble over your work, let me know if I can help you out, okay? You know it makes me happy to spend more time with you~♥

Have a great day everyone! :D

[ooc: *stabbed repeatedly in the neck with sewing scissors and strangled with tape measure by muse* XDDDD;;; Oh jesus, I'm so sorry for this, it terrifies even me. This really should have been posted before but procrastinating girl loves to procrastinate. 8D;; Fakir obviously had many several very powerful cheering charm chocolates and is thus displaying a 100 megawatt smile, the likes of which has never been seen before and never will be seen again, by the grace of all things holy. This of course means you can probably get away with shit that would normally get you hexed. =D Have fun with that people! Scary smiling!Fakir icon drawn by Ahiru-mun (and colored by the former Mytho-mun), so she gets the credit for that rabid thing. Rabu rabu zura~ <3]

...I have no idea where this goddamn castle is but it sure as hell isn't Kinkan. I haven't been able to find that moron at ALL, no matter WHERE I've looked in this godforsaken place. You'd think finding a duck as loud as she is wouldn't be difficult. Knowing her, she's probably back at Kinkan, deciding that she should go on some ridiculous search for me, getting lost and undoubtedly getting herself in some assorted trouble, and...And who knows what could happen with all the wild animals at the edge of town and considering how careless she is?! ...How the hell am I supposed to keep my promise if I can't even FIND her? 

...Is this the work of that sadistic old bastard again? Could Drosselmeyer have pulled us into another story? Is that why...is that why I can't find Ahiru? Is she someplace where I can't reach her? Hasn't he had enough of his sick goddamn games? She's gone through enough as is, dammit... Hmph. Even if that's the case, I'm not going to just sit back and let that twisted old man do as he pleases. I'll write myself out of here if I have to. And find that moron before she does anything stupid.

...If anyone sees a small yellow duck, inform me immediately. Anyone who harms her will have to answer to me.

[ooc: *is late, whut* XD But yes! Grabbing Fakir from Princess Tutu post-series, thus he is looking for a little ducky...annnnd, not a red-haired girl~ Oh ho ho. X3 All strikes are difficult to read.]

...Hn. Bloody dragons sniffing at my hair and uniform. The festivities of this school are foolish, as usual.



[Private to Kyro]

...I have questions that need answering. What...exactly did you say to your parents?

[//Private]

[ooc: Dramarmarmarmarz tonite. Fakir actually has very dark green hair, so the dragons are giving it a wiff~ :D ...And this obviously stems from the Kyro take over and I was just busy and am springing that plottage now. Anyone who's seen Fakir for the last week, particularly people in his dorm, will notice he's been in a state of self-loathing extremely depressed and somewhat quieter than usual :x Mood shows as cranky, icon shows as "Hn. Whatever..."]

Hn. The holidays are passing along decently well. Christmas is rather...different this year, although not in a bad way. And being of age made it far easier to get that moron to just admit to losing. It isn't as if I didn't give her four months, if that ditz can't pull off a simple spell on me by then, then it's only fair.
Hopefully it won't be TOO irritating going back to Hogwarts after the vacation. I feel...more at home than usual, for whatever reason. Stratford is even colder than it is normally, so with any luck there will be less tourists around in case we opt to go out. Even though I have no idea why most engage in giving presents to those they barely know, the one's I received were decent so I have few complaints. Hopefully my gifts arrive in a timely fashion...and hopefully she likes her gift.

[ooc: Backdated to yesterday cuz I fail. XD; At some point or another, Ahiru will be wearing that maid outfit cuz he charmed her other clothes invisible, whut. As for presents:
Sophie - a wizarding chess set
Gai - a foe glass (with a note attached that says: ...Perhaps your secret letter sender will appear in it.)
Mytho (left on his doorstep) - a Dr Seuss book ("How the Grinch Stole Christmas" lulz) with a 10 Galleon gift certificate to Honeydukes.
Ahiru (will be revealed in comment spam but it's too cute not to say here) - THIS pendant. X3
Happy holidays~]

...I hate this bloody school.

Fucking mistletoe sticking me to that fucking idiot.

Fucking Itachi kissing Ahiru. Mytho encouraging this fool, and...still refusing to listen to anything I have to say. And this busybody who insists on "checking on us" constantly.

I can't tell what's worse...being molested in my sleep and waking up with goddamn bows in my hair or putting my mouth anywhere NEAR that disgusting nuisance. I'm starting to lean towards the former...

...If anyone knows a method OTHER than kissing to get detached from someone outside of just killing them, which I would seriously consider if I wouldn't go to Azkaban for it, inform me immediately.

[ooc:...Still on semi-hiatus, no, srsly, buuuuut...angry Fakir. Has on pink sparkly nail polish, bows in his hair, and woke up to Sengoku's sleep groping. Annnnnnd is seriously considering just kissing Sengoku and getting this shiznit over with. XDD;; I'll stop being mean to him soon. For realz. >>;;; Strikes in the second line are blotted out to all oblivion, the rest are hackable.]

Hmph. Even more idiotic pictures seem to be circulating. I STILL can't imagine why the hell I'D be scoring some ridiculous "dance fighting" event. And I don't care WHAT Gai says, it isn't a fan or a stalker or anything equally idiotic. And those...other photographs were just...revealing far more than I needed to see. At the very least, with some people at Hogsmeade it's less noisy around.

[Private to Ahiru//Extremely Difficult to Hack]

...Meet me outside the Room of Requirement. And don't take forever, moron.

[//Private]


[ooc: Backdated to yesterday afternoon because I'm made of massive fail. And both of those filters are like...REAAAAAALLLY hard to hack. Really hard. Locksmith required. And stuff. :x Strikes outside the filters are easily hackable, inside are harder, icon shows as "Get lost", mood reads as pessimistic] 

...Hn. You'd think with the amount of schoolwork that's been assigned, people would have less time for insipid pictures and frivilous 'letters to Santa'. I suppose some choose to waste their time rather than doing anything productive. As is, I'd rather focus on preparing for NEWTs than any of that nonsense. And if I hear one more weird comment about that goddamn photograph...

[Private//Difficult to Hack]
...Normally I wouldn't be concerned about Christmas presents, but...I wonder what...I suppose I could ask, but...

.......

Hmph. This isn't worth dwelling on. It's just another day of the year. And I have studying to do.
[//Private]

[ooc: strike is hackable. :3 mood shows as indifferent, icon shows as 'Feh slight irritation', both difficult to hack~]

...Sometimes I really hate this goddamned school. Of all the pets Lohengrin HAD to associate with--

[Filtered to Rue]
...Have you...seen Lohengrin? Last time he took off, he mentioned something about an 'Ooooo-odile' or something, which I'm assuming is your cat. She better not have eaten him or some other nonsense...

[Filtered to Ahiru]
I don't know what the hell his problem is, but tell your bloody jealous psychopath owl to HEEL. If I get punched again, I'm breaking his wings off.

[Filtered to Itachi]
...You'd better have put some damn clothes on that cat by now. I don't give a damn how 'ITCHY' they are.

[Filtered to Sengoku]
Never again. Ever.
[/filter]

If anyone sees a young boy with golden eyes and dark greyish hair who goes by the name Lohengrin, inform me immediately.

[ooc: Oh ho ho. All filters are hackable, and all strikes are semi-hackable, except for the one in Ahiru's filter which is extremely difficult to hack. So pet day is not happy fun times for Fakir. XD He was more or less molested by Itachi's nekkid cat Naomi, had Ahiru's owl Rien punch him, got freaked out by Sengoku in a maid outfit and had his owl Lohengrin have the CUTEST CHAT EVER hang out with Rue's cat Odile. Feel free to notice a large bruise on his cheek~ Other important stoofs went down before that, but this is cracky fun times, yes? Lohengrin (this is his owl form and this is his human form, gotten from HERE with the colors altered, I take no credit. :x) has been wandering around even though he's largely obedient. He's shy but he's a sweetie pie. Enjoy~! ]
