((I'd love to join, if you're still accepting people?))

"Awh, thanks Mand. Its just what I've always wanted; a dead bug!" Aiden squealed in an overly-girly voice and picking up the fox, spinning it above his head in an over-the-top gesture of gratitude. He grinned hugely at the little animal before cradling her in his arm and setting off again towards their destination.

"Oh no you don't!" Aiden shouted playfully, holding the wriggling fox even closer to his chest, tightening his grip on her. His voice was bubbling over with laugher and his eyes were dancing with excitement, truly enjoying the glare the fox was giving him. With an evil glint in his eyes, he began to tickle the fox, saying, "You're not getting away this time, I finally have you."

((Oh my! This is what happens when I change internet providers. Is it alright if I just jump in?))

((OOC: Sorry gumdrop, I totally skipped right over that post. So SO sorry. D: Of course you can, preferably as a boy. :P

Thecrow- perfectly fine, just jump in. x_x we've totally lost all of our slytherins, haven't we? Blaire will just be alone, I guess.

PS- the teacher's name is 'viper' backwards, cause I'm not creative right now. D:))

((Aiden))

"Mand-" Aiden tried to say, but was interrupted. "Miss Millwood! That's ten points from Gryffindor! There is to be no violence or innapropriate situations in my hallway," The Potions master, Professor Repiv, sneered at them before swishing his robes just like all of his predecessors (all the way back to the famed Severus Snape) and turned back into his classroom. The girl still had not moved off of him, and Aiden was starting to feel the blush creep up his cheeks, coughing embarassedly he said, "Uhm, Mandy?" gesturing to their postition and asking her with his eyes to please get off.

((OOC: Good. :D Or a Slytherin girl, I think we need slytherins more than boys, but if she could do a slytherin boy, it'd be appreciated. :P))

"It's fine, it's fine," Aiden said, getting up (computerely composed) and dusting himself off in an over-done, almost snobbish way. "Let's just get in the classroom so we aren't late too and we get another deduction," Aiden wasn't mad at Mandy, he knew he deserved what he had gotten, but his tone came off like he wa angry and he wondered for a second if he should have kept some of that pepper-up for himself.

Nix Lovell, having been almost asleep at the back of the potions dungeon, now glanced up and grinned as Professor Repiv repremanded two fellow Gryffindors. Apparently, ever since Professor Snape, potions masters had been famed for having something against the house of Gryffindor.
The dark haired girl leaned her head on the edge of her cauldron, inhaling the strong scent of the comfrey and madwort that bubbled inside. By nature, both plants were supposed to prevent one from being stolen away by fascination. Her gypsy grandmother had sworn by madwort. Suddenly a sharp, almost acidic smell assaulted her nose. She drew back and was followed by a few wet and quickly dissolving strands of hair. Lovely. That was the third time this week that her hair had managed to find its way into her work.

Nix waved back weakly and blushed. "I would just lose it if I got one, I lose everything." She pushed her cauldron slightly further back on the table- just far enough to prevent any further incident. She pulled her long hair back tight and tied it in a knot.

Nix giggled and glanced over at the blonde Slytherin boy. She raised a brow and grinned. "Well, he is pretty fit. Little arrogant, though, if I may say so." But he was a Slytherin. That was automatically held against him.

Nix made a face. Oh God, she just couldn't wait to see the face that the professor would make when she managed to set her robes on fire. Again. Potions was not her best subject and that was putting it lightly. "Er, I'm just wondering how convincingly I can fake a nosebleed."

(OOC: Sorry, I just got around to checking. but I cant type long enough to do a part, or I'll be grounded. I'll post around 10-11 AM tomorrow. Sorry!)

((Alright, I was planning on joining as 2 characters, if that's alright? I don't have time at the moment, but I will post a character skeleton as soon as I can. Thanks!!))

((OOC: That's totally fine! :D Two characters is good. ;)))

((Aiden))

Aiden, unfortunately for him, was completely lost in thoughts. Mandy had to be so mad at him now. He hadn't meant to be rude. And she wasn't saying anything to him about it either, which scared him even more. Usually, if something bothered Mandy, she wouldn't hold back to bite the person's head off. This was almost scarier than if she had shown that kind of anger. Thinking fast, Aiden watched as Mandy dropped the carefully cut mandrake root into her potion and he swirlled it around until he was sure the roots spelled I'm sorry in her potion. Surely she would know it was from him.

((Blaine))

Blaine glided into the classroom five minutes late that day. Why? Because some stupid sixth year asses decided that they wanted to feel her up and that she was their's. The thought of it disgusted her as she glided to the only open seat in the room, next to Sven. Great, she gets to be next to another male prone to hit on her. It was pretty much common knowledge that she was the only seventh year Slytherin girl he hadn't been able to catch yet. Later in the class period, she realized that Sven was no longer next to her. She turned, looking for him, and then she heard the conversation he was having with the pretty Gryffindors and bristled, thinking of the boys earlier and the unwanted attention being about the same. "Leave them alone, Sven. They obviously can't stand the sight of you, you git."

Name – Effanalia “Effie” Wood Year - 6 Gender - Female Looks (pictures preferred) – Effie (not mine) House - Ravenclaw Personality – She is quite intelligent and determined, never letting a spell or potion get the better of her. She is quite friendly, if a bit bossy and somewhat argumentative – but only with people. She gets along swimmingly with animals of all sorts. As for the rest, I’d rather see how she develops. Blood – Full-blood mother and half-blood father Family (Descendants of...) – Oliver Wood’s niece (her mother’s side) Uniqueness – She has shown great skill in Care of Magical Creatures and Transfiguration, and has taught herself to be an animagus – namely, she can turn herself into a lynx

Name – Erving “Vee” Welsh Year - 7 Gender - Male Looks (pictures preferred) – Vee (not mine) House - Gryffindor Personality – He is a bit of a thrill-seeker, always looking for ways to bend the rules without breaking them. He is a good student, always does his homework and pays attention in class, but he is a troublemaker nonetheless. After that, I’d like to kind of see him develop as well. Blood – Muggle born Family (Descendants of...) – Harvey and Natalie Welsh, no one famous in the wizarding world Uniqueness – He is a chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and he has a knack for Charms, though he wouldn’t let anyone know it.

And who wouldn't want to party in Merlin's pants?

((Alright, I probably won't be able to post until tomorrow, but are those good?))

Nix smiled as she noticed the words tasking shape in Mandy's cauldron. Though she didn't know Aiden well, her impression of him was that he was a very sweet, thoughtful guy. She giggled. That was a cute form of apology. She added a dash of powdered mandrake root to the bubbling potion in her cauldron and it turned a soft shade of spring green.. It didn't smoke or spark. She took that as a very good sign.

((Aiden))

Aiden smiled his big, toothy grin at Mandy before turning to her friend. He watched her for a second, perplexed. "You look... relieved, like you didn't expect your potion to turn out, and it's better than mine!" Okay, well that might have been a lie, because Aiden could control liquids, so of course potions would be a natural thing for him, but he wanted to make this girl feel better. Aiden had enver been much of one to put women down, or let them stay down for that matter.

((Blaine))

"Sven," Blaine said, her voice smooth and inviting before her smile turned into a scowl and her brows pulled together and she hissed at him, "You're such an ass."

Nix smiled up at Mandy's friend. a blush creeping to her cheeks. Of course she looked relieved! She had fully expected it to explode and singe her eyebrows off! "Well, I'm not exactly the best at potions, let's just put it that way," she mumbled, wishing the color would fade from her cheeks.
This just wasn't hersubject. If this had been herbology or transfiguration, she would have been golden. She could turn a tea kettle into a pocketwatch and have it sing you the time, that was what her professir had said. When it came to plants, there was only one person who could grow them bigger than she could, a Hufflepuff called Wood Stevenson,

((Aiden))

"Well, I think you're doing great." Aiden said, scooting his chair closer to the girl, a flirtatious smile gracing his lips. He had to admit to himself, the blush on her cheeks was cute, and it egged him on in his flirting.

Although he had had a slight crush on Mandy since about fourth year, it never affected his ability to flirt with and fall for other women. It was almost like a buzz in the back of his brain; he had long ago gotten used to it. Hearing what the girl had said he smirked his flirtatious smirk at her and said, "Now if you married that cauldron, how would you marry me?"

Nix giggled softly, dark hazel eyes cast down to her cauldron. "Thanks. However, I'm not so sure Professor Ripev will show the same encouragement that you are. I'm not convinced that he likes Gryffindors." She cautiously added a few more ingredients to her potion and began to slowly stir with the fingers of her free hand crossed.

"Of course he doesn't. The only Gryffindor he can't take points from is Mand here, 'cause she's absolutely perfect at potions." As the bell rang and they all stood, Aiden got in between them and threaded an arm over each of their shoulders. "Where are we to next, ladies?"
