:Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: discussion

This is the RavenClaw Common Room. The description is already in the "About the Houses" Topic.

George Davidson and Jay Walker came up to the Ravenclaw dormitory…well, preferably, the entrance.
“Whose gonna solve the riddle this time?” Jay asked. He didn’t have his usual cheerful voice in place.
“I will.” George spoke with a dead tone.
The portrait began speaking the riddle they had to solve.
“What came first? The color orange or the fruit?”
George listened carefully, then responded with, “The color. It’s quite simple. All colors existed before any fruits. Even red existed before that of an apple.”
“Correct you are!” the portrait swung forward and the two Ravenclaws entered their Common Room.

"Alright, Jay, listen.." George sighed as he walked over to a deep, sea blue chair and sat down. Jay sat in the one across from it.
"Tell."
"You know how......well, I-..."
"George Henry Davidson, you know you can tell me everything and anything."
"....Have you ever just—...I don't know how to explain it, really,"
"......." Jay didn't speak.
"Oh, alright, fine! Have you ever just felt a connection with this one person, and yet you don't know how to let it out or what it is?!"
"....Aha!" Jay sat up with a grin. "I know what's going on."
"What?! What is it?!"
"You're love-struck, George!"
"Love—what?! No! That's—irrelevant!" George frowned.
"Actually, it isn't....You know how I feel about...her...and you know how I explained what it felt like last year."
"Well...yeah....but, that's-"
"George, stop denying it."
George scowled, "I'm not denying anything."
Jay sighed, and sat back down. "Just tell me who it is and how you feel."
"I-....It's......uhm............"
"Go on."
"....I think I- ...You know Clayton Rivendell? Gryffindor?"
"Mhm,"
"Well- I-....Something just.......I don't know!" George flung his arms up and groaned. "I don't get it!"
"Just try your best to explain your emotions. I know you keep them all tucked in and in hiding, but you gotta express them right now." Jay soothed, placing his chin on his hands.
"...I feel this—this connection but I-...I don't know how to explain it," He spoke quickly as though wanting to get it over with. "It's just super...weird. But, in a good way, don't get me wrong—but I don't understand why and how...I've been letting my emotions break through every time I'm with him and it's....slightly concerning. I haven't...Nobody else has been able to get through to me like that."
Jay simply chuckled. "George, George, George......You really are catching feelings, aren't you?"
"I'm not catching feelings for a- for a stupid Gryffindor!"
"Tsk tsk....stubborn as always. Well then, that settles it. I'll leave you to your very unknown and probably complicated thoughts of yours." Jay sat back up, and pat George on the back in a friendly manner before walking away.

George watched Jay walk away. He was presumably leaving to the Third-Year Dormitories, yet he didn’t bother to keep that thought in his head for long.
George sighed. “No….It can’t be. Love is stupid. He’s stupid. Gryffindor’s are naturally stupid. I can’t fall in love. Don’t. Just…act normal. Everything is fine.” George muttered quietly, looking down at his shoes.

———————

Jay had already left, sneaking up to the dormitories to go send an owl to Hannah stating he had made it safely to Hogwarts….as usual.

Eventually, George sat up, sick of sitting still. Usually he’d have stayed there all night, but he figured he’d start studying…of course, that was a regular Ravenclaw move. Study. All night. .. .Maybe not all night. What else was he supposed to do? Go to bed? Hm….good idea. But yet, he still chose to overwork himself.
George walked over to one out of the many bookshelves, and ran his fingers along the books. When he found one titled: ‘Tricks and Treats—Hexes and Jinxes for All Ages!’, he grabbed it and scanned the front cover. It had a wizard shooting a jinx as the cover…but of course, it was a moving cover. George opened the book, and the wizard on the cover disappeared, and then was seen walking out onto the page he had landed on.
He looked at the wizard on the page for a moment before he began reading about hexes to use when you feel like you need to defend yourself.

Maddie skipped into the common room her special grin on her face. Oh dear....what had she done now? Maddie sat down on the couch and pulled out her wand.

George glanced up at Maddie—she was the same age as he was, so he had seen her plenty of times. He recognized the grin and frowned, shutting his book closed after looking at the page he had stopped on.
“And what did you do now?” He asked, looking at Maddie with a piercing stare.

Maddie looked up at George innocently. "What? Me do something? Pfft." But she kept grinning. "Well....maybe I did do something...." She snickered. "I locked Filch in his office." She fell over laughing.

He shook his head, and sighed.
"Seriously? You're gonna get into serious trouble. And it's literally our first day back." George rolled his eyes.
'Exactly what I need right now...trouble.'

Maddie shrugged. "I saw an opportunity and took it. Besides, he'll figure Peeves did it." She tugged on the charms that hung on her bracelet and smirked.

George grumbled and opened his book back to the page he was on. "Page 65—The Titillando Spell"
George, having already known this spell (it was the tickling charm—he used it in his second year against a student who was picking on him), flipped to the next page.

Maddie glanced out the window and frowned. "Oh...its a blue moon." She said quietly. She fidgeted with her charm bracelet more.

((My plan is to eventually have Maddie spout a prophecy about Harry's first year....but I have to write it first......and think of words that rhyme...))

((Ooo! Thanks!))

[[NP! :D]]

((IT DIDN'T SEND?! GAHHHH!! I'll respond tomorrow- GOODREADS, YOU SUCK!))

((Its fine! and yes YOU SUCKETH GOODREADS))

Maddie nodded and sighed. "Lets go then." She stood up and grabbed her bag from under a table. Her sliver charm bracelet jingled as she moved her wrist.

Maddie strode out of the room, bag slung over her shoulder. Hopefully no one would notice the fact that her robe pockets were bulging slightly. The amount if prank supplies she could fit in there was limited, but she made sure she had the good stuff.

Lunar was heading out of her dorm. She had been so overworked the past couple of days and needed some fresh air. She walked into the common room and scanned around for anyone she liked.
