Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry - Roleplay OPEN!!!! discussion

Daniella finished off her letter, folding it into thirds and sliding it into the envelope addressed to her brother. She held it out to Benedict who was perched in a hole on the wall next to her. He took it in his beak carefully and flew off out of the owlery. Daniella picked up her quill and spare parchment, shoving it in her coat pocket and making her way out of the owlery and back to the great hall for a quick breakfast.

Skylar walked up the steps to the Owlery and saw that a girl with dark hair coming down. She had to deliver a letter to her father telling him they had a Quidditch game coming up. Hufflepuff vs Ravenclaw.

Alex was walking up to the owlery with a letter to his parents that he was giving to Penderecki to fly to them. He wasn't paying attention to where he was walking

There were footsteps behind her, so Skylar looked who was there and saw a guy she recognised as Alex. She turned back around and kept walking up the stairs until she found her owl and started writing.

((Sorry not her owl but a owl. (I just remembered she doesn't have an owl) ))

"Merlons beard! How could I forget!" Halfway down the steps Daniella remembered her fathers explicit message. 'Make sure you write to use every week.' It had been three weeks since she had last sent a letter to them so she spun round and hurried back up the steps, her stomach complaining. Once she reached the owlery she tried to figure out how to get Benedict to come back so he could take her second letter.

*Merlins*

Alex stood near the window in the owlery, tying his envelope to Penderecki's leg

In the middle of writing her letter, Skylar saw the same dark-haired girl who had been retiring to school run back up the stairs and Skykar wondered why she was in such a rush

Skylar finished writing her letter and stuffed it in the envelope. She tried to grab the owl's leg but it kept moving out of her reach. After a few tries, Skylar saw Alex not far away and asked "Hey! Can you please hold this owl while I attach the envelope to his leg?"

"Alright" Alex said smiling. "Penderecki, stay" He said to his owl before going over to Skylar and holding the owl still

Skylar immediately tied the string tight on the owl's leg. "Thanks." She said panting. "I've seen you around school, I know you're Alex. I'm not a creepy stalker by the way!" She laughed and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

From the doorway, Daniella watched as they steadied the bird and attached the letter. She decided to write a short letter to her father, including only the vital information saying that she was still alive. She managed to give it to a white bird who flew off instantly. Sighing with relief Daniella pondered whether to talk to the two students on the other side of the owlery. The girl was in some of her classes after all.

Alex laughed. "It's fine" he said "Penderecki, you can go." His owl flew off

Skylar started walking towards the stairs, "So, which house are you in?" She almost immediately spotted the dark-haired girl that was in some of her classes standing in the doorframe. She struggled to remember er name but then realised it was Daniella.

"Ooooh! We have a brave one here!" Skylar chuckled, only just realising he was wearing Gryffindor robes.

After a while she decided to try and make a friend in a different house. "Come on Ali!" She whispered to herself before smiling brightly and walking over to them. She outstretched her arm and tried to seem confident . "I'm Ali, I play quidditch!" Suddenly she went bright red realising how stupid she sounded.

Alex laughed. "Nice to meet you Ali! I'm a chaser for the Gryffindor team" He said, letting her know what she said wasn't that weird

Skylar looked at Daniella, she never knew she played Quidditch! "Cool! I'm Skylar! What position are you?" Questioned Skylar, genuinely curious.

Skylar looked over at Alex, "Hey! I'm Chaser too! That's so cool!" Skylar never knew he played for the Quidditch team. Mostly because she never really looked at the other team's faces.

Ali blushed. She recognised the boy from one of her last quidditch matches against Gryffindor. She had accidentally hit him with the quaffle. "Slytherin Chaser..." She mumbled quietly.

"We're all chasers! What a coincidence! Oh you play for Slytherin, that's amazing, they are all so good that I feel intimidated by them!" Skylar laughed, trying to make Ali feel more welcome.

Ali looked up from the floor. She wasn't usually this nervous but she hadn't eaten and she was tired. "We don't let any old riffraff on our team! Not that the other teams do... You guys are great!" Sniffed quietly for the cold air.

Alex couldn't help but laugh more. "Slytherin is pretty good" He said, smiling. He got an idea for part of some lyrics to a song all of a sudden. "Where's my quill and paper" He mumbled to himself

"Aw thanks! Hey what about we go down to breakfast then meet somewhere after?" Skylar wanted to become friends with Ali, she looked like such a nice girl

"Do you want to borrow some of mine?" Skylar asked Alex. She had heaps to spare.

She smiled at Skylar. "Sounds good to me. Hey, Alex... Are you okay?" She watched the boy look around for something.

"Any quill and paper works" Alex said smiling. It literally looked like his mind was in two different places, which it was

"I think we should meet at the entrance of the first greenhouse. It's quite a lonely place and we'd be alone there." Skylar knew a lot of hidden places from her school ground wanderings.

Skylar pulled out some parchment and a quill out of her pant pocket. She handed them to Alex and blushed as their fingers brushed. "Here."

"Sure. I'll meet you guy there in a bit. I'm gonna go and get changed first though." She looked down at her coat knowing that she was only wearing her sleepwear underneath. "See you guys in a bit!" She watched Skylar blush and winked at her slyly.

"Thank you" Alex said, not noticing that fact that she blushed. He started writing on the parchment with quill "Far from the place where i'm writing a song" He hummed/sang to himself

"See ya!" She noticed the wink Ali gave her and smiled. She turned her attention back to Alex, "You sing?"

"there is a girl to whom my heart belongs" Alex sang to himself, writing the lyrics down before looking up. "What? Oh yes. I do"

"Same! It brings me to a place where no one can enter unless they truly understand." Skylar never knew they had so much in common. She turned slightly pink when she saw Alex looked at her.

Alex smiled. "My full name is Alexander Rybak." He said. Now he needed his violin, no wait... "she doesn't know that I'm thinking of her, but again that's not the point. she makes me glad just by being alright" He sang to himself

"My full name is Skylar Destiny Reynolds. Do you want me to go, do you need to be in peace?" Skylar questioned realising he was intent on writing the lyrics not talking to her.

A part of her caved in at the sight of seeing him smile at her. She looked at her shoes nervously.

Alex looked up at her from writing lyrics and smiled. "Sorry if i'm acting distant, it's just with music and school my mind tends to go in different directions. I'm probably going to head back to the common room and practice"

"Oh okay." She hoped her face didn't look as crestfallen as she felt. "If you want to catch up later, just send me an owl." She gathered her belongings and made her way down the stairs.

Alex watched as she left. He sighed. He always messed up with girls unless it came to his songs. Ah. That's it. "Singing Oah, I love you Moa. You're way too young for me. But I don't mind" He sang with emotion. OAH was a song that he planned to release during Christmas break

As Skylar walked down the stairs, she heard Alex singing an realised how amazing he was. She had a quick change of heart and rushed up the steps "Wait Alex- hey, I was wondering if you wanted to meet later on and maybe start a duet..." Skylar immediately regretted saying that. She turned red and stumbled on her own shoelaces, she fell over and cried out as her wrist hit a spar brick laying around.

((*spare))

Alex caught her, too late to save her from hitting her wrist, but quick enough so she didn't hurt any other part of her. He smiled caringly. "We could do that"

Skylar looked deep into his eyes, tears coming from her own. Her wrist was starting to swell. "Yeah, we could." She just realised how his bright his eyes were.

Alex nodded and helped her stand. "We should really get you to the infirmary to get that wrist looked at" He said

"Yeah..." Skylar looked down an back up to Alex's face again and blushed. She tried picking up her stuff but bit her lip so hard she drew blood because her wrist hurt so much. She nearly started crying again, but was able to keep it in.

Alex helped her pick her stuff up. He handed her what he had picked up. "It's okay to cry" He said softly

Skylar looked back into his deep, brown eyes and let her eyes water. Soon enough her cheeks was wet and she was walking down the steps of the Owlery, she kept close to Alex, just in case her legs gave way.

Alex was quiet, silently comforting her. He was there to help her. She was part of his Hogwarts family, maybe more than that. Maybe...
