Charlotte nodded, then began to gesture at the cards as she spoke. "The way you play is by trying to get rid of all the cards in the piles in front of you. In normal play, you can only touch the first five piles, not the larger one. You play cards by placing them going up or down in number or face order, without regard for suit or which direction you've go previously. When you run out of one pile, you can recreate it with cards from the other four piles. When we both get stuck, we each play one card from our sixth pile, regardless of if it matches or not. We one of us runs out of cards, they get to pick which pile of the two they want, then you shuffle them in your deck and start again. I'll discuss anything else later," Charlotte finished, feeling like she should probably stop because she'd already explained a lot. (Sorry, I went to see a play with a couple friends, then went out to eat afterwards, so I couldn't reply until just now. Just a warning, but I'm going to be on very rarely, if at all for the next two weeks. Yay, band camp. I'll try to be here when I can, but it will be mostly weekends until the 7th of August.) (What play did you end up going to see?) Listening even more closely now, Lulu watched and gnawed at her bottom lip, a sign of focus for her. Her brow arched lightly and head tipped softly to the side, small curls slipping into her gaze, though they were swiftly pushed away. Nodding then as Charlotte finished Lulu let out a sigh and laughed lightly, "Alright, I think I get it well enough." she replied lightly as she adjusted and nodded once more, "If I mess up just let me know!" she chimed happily as she clapped her hands together, ready for their game to start. "I'm ready to start whenever you are then Charlotte!"

(Oh, Guys and Dolls Jr. We went because I've been in another show with three of the cast members, and a summer camp for a few years with one of the other people.)
Charlotte smiled, "Of course I'll tell you. I can't let you win because you played with the wrong idea," she joked, moving her hand to rest on the pile they were meant to start with. "Alright then, let's go," Charlotte said, setting her card in the middle and watching as Lulu did the same. Then she began to play, her eyes moving quickly across the cards even though her hands moved pretty slowly comparatively. Spit was a game of speed, but she'd only played it maybe twice, and inexpedience made it much slower than you'd think.

- Raintalonhisss - Ava Lyric Copper - 4th year Ravenclaw - Ava is tall for her age, about 5'9. She's also very skinny, which gives her a bit of a scarecrow appearance. She has black eyes and thick, jaw-length, wavy, messy brown hair dyed with vivid streaks and patches of purple and blue. Her fingers are often stained purple & blue from touching up the faded spots. She usually wears ripped jeans and t-shirts with various fandom logos on them, and always the same long trench coat which is so dark red it's almost black. Ava is generally relaxed and easy-going, but she has a strong sense of justice, and if something sets her off there'll be hell to pay, She's scary when she's angry. She has a quirky sense of humor, and is the kind of extrovert who tends to adopt friends rather than make them. Ava's wand is 13 inches, English Oak, Dragon heartstring, surprisingly swishy. (Determined by pottermore) Her patronus is A border collie, and her pet is a very large screech owl known as the Infamous Xavier. Eva's family is pureblood, but doesn't discriminate against halfbloods and muggle-borns. She has three older brothers, all above 6' and very loud. She also has a little sister, who is short, petite, quiet and blonde. Eva is extremely protective of her little sister. Ava has no crush, but let it be known that she is bisexual. Ava is working towards being an Animagus. I'd also like her to be a beater on the Ravenclaw quittitch team.

Cool, I'll get up replies this afternoon when I'm back from school/training. Also Rain, I'll accept your charrie, but only if she's just become a full animagus this schooling year or is still working towards it okay? Otherwise it's unrealistic if she's been one for years. Also could you please layout your joining form in the way I have it on the front page? Makes it a lot easier for me I'll add her to the front page when I do my replies

Melodi - Daphrena Aster Goldswing - 16/6th Year - Ravenclaw With platinum blonde locks flowing down, streaks of teal and blue hidden, Daphrena seems to be a dreamy airhead that always has hair that blocks her face. Not many people, including the professors, have seen her full face before. She has striking silvery viridian eyes, but one of them are permanently covered by her wavy fringe; she has a tall nose and a strong frame. Her cheekbones are somewhat jutted out, and her pale skin is seemingly flawless. She is relatively tall compared to her fellow schoolmates, as she stands at roughly 5'10. She is lean but not athletic. She is rather thin and fragile-looking, though her chilling stare can assure you that she's not as delicate as she appears. - Daphrena has one of the most agile minds in Hogwarts, thanks to her family, which are mostly from Ravenclaw- though there are a fair share of Slytherins in the Goldswing family. She likes to reflect upon philosophical questions, and can solve riddles within a few moments. Like most Ravenclaws, Daphrena enjoys reading. Except for reading, she likes to take notes of people's movements, habits and routines, and her notebook is filled with her schoolmates' information. If you ever wrong her, she could easily take advantage of your weaknesses that are already etched upon her mind, so think twice before disagreeing with her. 10", Pine, unicorn tail hair - White Stallion - owl that she shares with her sister, called Tara - Delise Astra Goldswing - n/a - asexual Melodi - Delise Astra Goldswing - 16/6th Year - Slytherin When one first meets Delise, they will regard her as bold and rebellious- perhaps untrustworthy- considering the fact that she dyed half of her head emerald and silver while shaving the rest off, and always has a wild glint in her vivid viridian eyes, with just a slight hint of silver. Like her twin sister Daphrena, she has a strong frame and jutting cheekbones. She is both physically and mentally agile, with her sister just a smidge smarter than her. She is of same height as her sister, which is 5'10, and has a stockier build. - Perhaps it was determination that changed Delise, for she had never liked her sister's personality. She is bubbly, outgoing, one of the 'popular girls' if you'd put it that way, and isn't academically weak either. As a Slytherin, Delise prefers the easy way out and prioritizes herself over others, and would even sacrifice her sister to save herself. Though, she is loyal to the point that even when the person turns on her, she still remains loyal, a quality that cannot be seen in her sister. However, she is also hotheaded and is always irritated, and would come off as rude and even obscene. 13", Elm, dragon heartstring - Gray Squirrel - owl that she shares with her sister, called Tara - Daphrena Aster Goldswing - n/a - slytherin beater

{{ I was a bit lazy and copied the original starters I had but added one for Hana XD }}
James knew there was no way he was getting his charms homework done, so instead, he had decided to shut his books early, on the pretence of heading back to the Gryffindor common room from the library. He had since abandoned his books in the halls of the castle and was eagerly following Slinky across a courtyard. His pet rat had been squirming in his robe pocket for most of the day and James had finally decided to let the little guy run free for a little. When Slinky had taken off at a dead run, James had struggled to keep an eye on him through the crowds. But now, in this less busy area, he could relax a little, the chance of his pet being stepped on lessening. James loved a chance to wander the castle, and this sure was a good one. The amount of times this boy had let Slinky loose just to find new places to explore whilst following him was too many to count. And as well, it provided the perfect reason for not getting any of his work done. I mean who could blame him for not doing his assignment when he'd had to go looking for his escape artist rat?
Kayleigh sat at the library, her books opened in front of her. She had defence against the dark arts homework due yesterday and she still hadn't started. Desperately looking around for a distraction, she silently prayed that her brother would come running in, begging her to check out his latest project or explain this bit of homework to him, but alas, to no avail, her praying didn't work and the library remained as quiet as ever. Resigning herself to her fate, she put her head down and tried to focus.
Walking along the edge of the lake, Evalina smiled in quiet contentment her toad, Frank, bouncing along happily through the grass. She'd finished her classes for they day, but had decided that it was too nice of a day to spend inside, so instead, she'd dropped her bags and come to the lake, ready to enjoy her next adventure.
Kayden was working his way through the crowd, when, suddenly, he tripped over his own robes and stumbled out of the halls, into one of the courtyards. He looked around quickly, hoping no one had seen. A little embarrassed by his clumsiness, the young hufflepuff stood at the edge of the courtyard, waiting for his chance to slip back into the crowd.
Anne was wandering through the halls. Again. It was something that the young gryffindor loved to do instead of doing her work, although she knew with the long list of things to do growing, she'd end up pulling an all nighter at some point. Not that that bothered her, of course, as she was normally up late exploring anyway. Figuring she should be paying attention to her surroundings, the young blonde returned her focus to her adventure, and began walking up a flight of stairs. She knew this wasn't the way to the gryffindor tower, but she didn't know where this particular stair case did lead.

Levi strode into the library, his overstuffed bag resting heavily on one shoulder. He looked around the tables, hoping for either an empty one or one that was close enough to empty that he wouldn't lose too much study time to pleasantries. No such luck. Then, he spotted Kayleigh, one of his older housemates, sitting alone. Levi walked over slowly, hoping she wouldn't send him packing if he tried to claim some of the empty table space. "Do you mind if I take this spot?" He asked, already removing a few books from his bag. Somehow, he managed to overfill the cloth bag and also have it perfectly organized, knowing where each item was or where it should go, even though such a task would confound a weaker man.

Kayleigh looked up as someone talked to her, a half-smile forming on her face as she recognised one of the younger members of her house. Unwilling to deny a distraction, and figuring she could take the opportunity to 'help out' the younger person, furthering her distraction, she nodded, even though he had already begun to take out some of his books. Amused by this fact, she watched him in silence for a few solid seconds, slightly wondering how he managed to find what he wanted in the seemingly over filled bag. "What are you working on?" She asked, now also beginning to wonder what this boys name had been. She was sure it began with an L.

Levi looked up from the pile of supplies he was amassing on the table, his books now joined by a few rolls of parchment, his normal writing quill, and an old inkwell, because his favorite was empty. He tried to keep from looking annoyed at the interruption, because he had been looking for some peace and quiet, but maybe Kayleigh had said something because she wanted to help, and that would always be useful. "Well, several things. But I think I'll start with the longest work first. Do you know anything about Arithmancy?"
(Sorry this took so long, I got distracted working on song lyric rewrites for a discord server and forgot I'd posted anything.)

Kayleigh understood where the younger Slytherin was coming from, it was better to get the most arduous of tasks out of the way first so that you didn't have to spend as much time on them later. However, when arthimancy was was mentioned, she shook her head vigorously. That was something she most definitely not interested in. "I'm more of a Defence Against the Dark Arts and Charms girl. Maybe even some Transfiguration or Care for Magical Creatures, but not Arithmancy." Kayleigh spoke honestly, figuring it was better to be honest about this particular topic.

"Ah, well, I have several problems left to finish today. Then there's a twelve inch essay on potion ingredients, and a six inch one on the history of the Summoning Charm," Levi admitted, finally closing his bag and setting it of to the side. He shifted a few of his supplies around, then finally settled into the chair he'd been standing beside. He looked back up at Kayleigh, wondering if she would reply.

The words of her fellow Slytherin set Kayleigh's head spinning, the boy almost sounded like a Ravenclaw the way he was prattling off his work, although if she actually stopped to think about it and form a list, Kayleigh would have found that her list was even longer than his. Not that she would actually get around to finishing any of it, oh no, she spent too much time looking for distractions to actually get anything productive done. And since distractions included helping other people with their work, what else could she say to the boy when she heard about the potions work than, "My younger brother is obsessed with potions...and herbology." the last bit she added after a slight pause, as if she was reluctant to admit it. Sure there was nothing wrong with herbology, it was just that Kayleigh often found her brother getting to enthused with the latest plant he had found for her interest.
James practically screamed as some random was suddenly screaming in his face. Okay, he did actually scream. But it was a manly scream, or so he would tell himself. The high pitched sound set Slinky off running for real now, the noise having startled him, but James was too focused on the fourth year (???? he thought ???) that was swinging from the tree in front of his face to notice that. Stumbling back with his hand over his heart, the gryffindor silently cursed himself for the scream, but then smiled as he realised the genius of what had just happened. "Nice one. You certainly got me good." He said lightly, now admiring the opportunistic nature of the girl. He knew she wasn't in gryffindor, but he couldn't place what house she was in.

"Potions is an interesting class. One of the few magical disciplines that requires actual thought and not just magical ability. And without Herbology, we would have no potions," Levi said, after a pause in which he scratched down a step or two of the problem he had set out before him. "You said you liked Defense and Charms? My older sister is a fan of Charms as well," he continued, still working on the problem between his words. He couldn't just straight up ignore her, burning bridges was a bad idea. Plus, she might end up mentioning something he did need for the problem or one of his essays. Or later assignment. She was two years ahead of him, she'd probably done some of the same work before.

Ava grinned at the boy's high-pitched scream and effort to hide it. "I did get you, didn't I? Rather proud of that. Trouble is I'm kind of stuck upside-down now and your rat has disappeared into the middle-distance. I can fix one of those, at least." Arching her back so she could look behind her, she pointed her wand at some rustling grass. "Accio Rat!" The rat rose into the air, looking bewildered, and flew into her hand. She held it out to the Gryffindor. "There you are. Cute, isn't he? Surprised more people don't do that with their pets, it's not like it hurts them. Hold on a moment..." Ava relaxed her knees and fell upside-down from the branch, landing in a heap on the ground. She struggled to her feet. "There we are," she said, blowing some blue-and-purple hair out of her face. "You make more sense the right way up. What's your name?"

Daphrena, in the library, was struggling over her Potions homework, strands of platinum blonde hair falling from her loose ponytail. With her family's Potions reference book, it had certainly made things easier, but it was tough carrying a two-thousand-page tomb-like monstrosity down her common room, let alone to the library. She checked the time; it was almost five, and she was still struggling over Potions? How pathetic. She glanced at the huge heap of parchment that sat right next to her. An explaination on why Transfiguration Without Consent is inhumane. 20 feet long, due the week after next week.
