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.

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 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/]

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~]

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.]

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.

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/]

You'd think I'd be accustomed to the nonsense the school tosses at us by now, but it never ceases to annoy. Acting like a goddamn doormat of all things. Anyone I spoke to during that curse, you can just forget anything I said.

YOU. Curse or not, you're getting hexed the next time you order me around like that. It's bad enough that I'm in your bloody club until I can get out of it.

And why the hell won't the goddamn Daily Prophet leave things where they lie? Where in the name of Merlin are they getting their information? I NEVER told anyone most of that, and yet broadcast on the front page...It makes me sick. Apparently no one is trustworthy.

Slytherin team. As soon as Hufflepuff gets off the pitch today, we're practicing. I don't care if its at midnight.

[ooc: That's his way of saying 'Yay, I'ma cap'n! =D" but as we all know, RAGE is Fakir's default emotion. :| And Rue-mun, you can assume that Fakir has been continuing the avoiding thing. Mytho, he doesn't know you're back yet. :o So put some happy in his day~!]

[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]

...Apparently if you approach a game with a modicum of sense, it means that you don't care about winning. Hmph. All this energy that's been expended tossing expletives around and pointing fingers would be better served on the pitch. What a waste of time.

And I don't want to see anymore of your bloody signs, you damned nuisance. I've seen enough sparkles to last me a lifetime. For the last time, I'm not a fucking dummchen.

[Private//Semi-Hackable]

...Hn. I might have scored, but...not fast enough. And the snitch being caught shouldn't have made so much of a difference...we'll have to make it up against Ravenclaw. ...If the team manages not to kill each other in the process.

If nothing else, at least that goddamn cheering charm wore off before the game. But now I have to deal with all the nonsense I did under the damn thing. Like agreeing to that bloody host club, what a frivolous waste of time.

[//Private]

[Private to Tamaki]

...Let me make one thing perfectly clear; had I not been on some damn happy charm, I sure as hell wouldn't have agreed to be in your stupid club. And now that I'm conscious, I have no intention of staying in it. Find someone else.

[ooc: So basically...he thinks his team members are idiots. XD; He's just as disappointed about losing as everyone else though, he's just not about to loose his head over it or show it openly. Annnnd Lilie had a banner up during the game that said "Go-go Dummchen~" in sparkly letters. 8D;; That strike is filtered to her. Annnnd...Tamaki-mun feel free to have made him sign something in his cracked-up state. ;D]

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]

Hmph. If it hadn't been for all the goddamn pranks, why the hell did Mytho send TWO? I might thank those who sent me candygrams. Excepting one, which was thankfully prank free. So...thanks for the candy, I guess. Overall, the holiday was rather a rather worthless one, I hardly need any more frivilous nonsense to bother me. I can't believe that moron thought she'd get me into a beast costume of all things...

The Hogsmeade visit was decent, however. Other than being forced into that sickening teashop. I'm still taking the damn confetti out of my hair... I was dragged went around more of the town than usual. Including Zonko's. I'll be damned if I don't get both of them back for those insipid tricks. If nothing else, it was an opportunity to get outside. Hopefully I'll have more of those when Quidditch practices commence. Hn. Either way, as I finally have free time, I plan to spend it in the commonroom. Hopefully without interruption for once.

[ooc: H'okay, XD;;; I was busy working on a video project with a strict deadline all last week, so I kinda missed Halloween, RP and RL wise. ;_; My favorite holiday...! So this is kinda late. Buuuut, feel free to have seen a blind Fakir wearing only boxers trying to get back to the Slytherin dorms, because he probably looked positively ridiculous and ornery and hot. And he went to Hogsmeade this weekend with Ahiru in a semi friendly fashion. The second strike is semi-legible to Gai, the rest are gone. EDIT: My html is so l337, you don't even KNOW. XD;;;;; ]
