>well you can ride on the crest of a wave

Gran, where'd I put -- never mind, got it--

~~Sounds like everybody else got taller... again.~~

~~I just don't sleep enough. Whatever. We're gonna win anyway.~~

Otani, I'll be there for practice.

At least the summer's almost over.....

[[Strike unhackable. Ohgawd everyone's gonna think he's a first year on the train again.~]]

>this is the working hour

I had that dream again...

Why, though? It's the first time in years, except that time when I was frozen on the Astronomy Tower.

*scribbly list follows*
Astronomy
Charms
Defense
Potions
Transfiguration
Arithmancy
Experimental Magic
Pre-Auror Training

.......Divination

Huh... that's not so many classes, even though I added some.

Who else is trying out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team this year?

[[Strike hackable if you know him really well.]]

people are annoying

>the past is all that's gone

..The counselors finally gave our journals back after making some of us 'disappear' and hiding us in the woods to scare the other campers.

~~I'm owling Gran; she had better not have been scared by this.~~

Sorry if anybody was worried.

*back in his bunk, packing up*

>all the right moves and all the right faces

*will be really twitchy for a bit, on account of failing not to be constantly seething over having been a little kid for several days. feels he doesn't need to say that if anyone else mentions it, they will get hexed when school starts again.*

*soooooo, who wants to be his bunkmate for the camping trip? 8D*

[[Will be sort of slowatusing till Monday on account of rl stuff.~ Otani, feel free to flail around here, your buddy Toshiro will be happy to flail right back.~~~]]

>since I was eleven

Takashiiii! Where are you?

*sniffles*

[[After this. Guess who's Confounded and Befuddled and Cheering-Charmed and basically acting like the chibi he already looks like? Help Mr Responsible Srs Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain keep his dignity! Or, you know, not.]]

>but I get up again

*out before roll call, wearing a white T-shirt instead of his sparkly orange one (because it's before wake-up so it's okay, right?), kicking a football around an open space: it's cool out this early and he actually feels like exercising*

~~*will be conking out later in the day, though. naps are important.*~~

[[Football = the round one with the black-and-white pentagons, naturally.]]

(no subject)

Next time, maybe... we could do swimming after the obstacle course.... *collapses on his bunk*

I should owl Gran today.

>oooo~raaaange~ it doesn't rhyme with aaanything~

*is just.... sitting there, in his BRIGHT BRIGHT ORANGE T-SHIRT which doesn't even have a cooling charm, very hot and sticky and WHY do they have to do all these activities in the sun*

..~~I never thought Gran could be that sneaky.~~

[[Chibi here may get heat stroke if he stays outside too long. ICE PLZ.~]]

(no subject)

Gran's got this odd smile all the time... what's that all about? It's like she has some secret she's keeping. At least she's feeling all right though. It was so cold here this winter. The heater was broken -- at least I can fix that.

*climbs the stairs to his room, which is a cosy attic full of neatly stacked books and papers, and has a skylight leading to a flat section of roof where he likes to watch the sky*

*tosses his journal on the desk, looking forward to a long, slow summer of being in his own place and having nothing exciting happen at all... he thinks*

[[Riku-mun, Alice-mun, did we ever figure out who'd switch with who? (Will be able to answer tags tomorrow night, I hope. >.<]]

>it's just an ordinary day

Exams are finally over. We did all right. Especially at Potions. I hope we surprised you, Professor Crane. *epic sarcasm that fortunately doesn't show in his handwriting*

Quidditch is over too... I wonder if I should apply for a different position next year. Keepers don't get around the pitch much.

*lies back on an Astronomy Tower balcony, watching the clouds go by*

At least it's not too hot yet....

~~I hope Gran gets my owl that she doesn't have to come to pick me up from the station. Her heart doesn't need a big trip like that... I can get back by myself.~~

[[Feel free to interrupt his musings! First strike is hackable to the fifth-year Potions study group; second to anyone with difficulty, and to his close friends with less difficulty.]]

( *arrives back at Hogwarts very late at night* )

..is there a reason Hogwarts looks like a herd of rhinoceroses ran through it?

[[Filtered to fifth-year Potions study group]]

You all kept reviewing while I was gone, right? Special session tomorrow at four in the usual classroom.

[[/filtered]]

[[ooc: Toshiro's been absent for about a week, for reasons which he'll only talk about with people he knows very well. He had permission and teachers were informed of the duration if not the reason, but if any want to discuss classes (he sent in his assignments by owl, but they may have been late), or if a fellow student wants to notice that someone's writing at night, feel free.~

Also, HI to any new folks who've come to SH since I took hiatus a few months ago! *is hopefully back now, hopefully =_____=*]]

She's all right.

[[Mood unhackable.<3 He'll be hiding on the roof for a while, and then go outside for a few hours of dangerously high-speed flying around the castle turrets. Feel free to notice his handwriting's shakier than usual, and/or catch him at any stage of the de-stressing process.]]

Practice is canceled today.

..Has anybody seen Professor Marquise?

[[Toshiro will spend most of the first afternoon after the news puttering around the common room with his homework, pacing his dorm (and leaving the window open for possible owls), and getting more and more short-tempered, and will eventually sneak out to go up on the roof for some time alone. He still hasn't heard from his grandmother.]]

>total eclipse of the heart

*is at the Ravenclaw table in the Great Hall when the Daily Prophet arrives, and.... stands up so fast his milk spills and the mug shatters and he does.not.care.*

*brief look around to check others' reactions to the news, but he's not really seeing much, though he'd have to notice if someone's reacting as strongly as he is.... looks up at the staff table to see if they knew already, but probably not.... checks the paper for a casualty list, but there ISN'T ONE, GAAH, and now he's crumpling the paper and dropping it and clambering over the bench to get to the Owlery, his bookbag forgotten on the floor*

*trips over his robes and falls flat on his face. OW.*

Hey!! Whose Puffskein is this!? If you leave it in the common room, one of the eagles will probably get it!

[[Filtered to Ravenclaw Quidditch team]]

Even though our lineup has changed, that's no excuse not to be on top of our game. Remember to keep your warming charms up; it's supposed to drizzle today. And play a clean game no matter what the other side does. Callen, watch the points when you go after the Snitch. Hannah, if this is your last match, let's make it a good one. Got it?

[[/filtered]]

[[The Puffskein can be anybody's. ^___^

Also: Callen, Hannah, and two unnamed others will be your friendly NPCs for today's game. OI, RAVENCLAWS!! Your team needs a Beater, two Chasers, and a Seeker! Come to think of it, there are lots of Prefect slots open too. Go ye and sign up!]]

>We Got 'Em All Right Here

Hmph... people are stuck together, huh? Nobody in the Quidditch team had better be stuck; we're having practice today. Six o'clock, right after classes, don't be late!

The Potions study group for fifth years is also starting up again. Same time, same place, every Tuesday. If anyone needs extra review beforehand, ask someone in the group to help.

~~Miss you, Gram....~~

[[I fail at thinking up presents, so if you're close enough to Toshiro to get a present from him (um, pretty close, since he's not the openly sentimental type), he probably got you something normal and practical. XD (And strike is hackable if you know him that well or are really good at hacking ~~or if it would end in lulz~~~.)]]

..~~It sounds like going home for the hols was a good idea as usual....~~

Gran, that's not a word. How do you even pronounce it? Fine, I'll get the dictionary, I still say it isn't a word.~

As if I had nothing better to do than put on fancy robes and stand around watching people dance. People find such silly things waste time on.... *ink blot* What'd Dumbledore have to make this mandatory for, anyway? Wasn't being bought bad enough....?

That... was a pretty good game. We need some more work, especially since our lineup changed, but you all made it happen together.

Everyone, sorry I missed the study group last week. Did everyone get the Potions assignment done? We're going to keep moving; study ahead so you won't lose ground when we're all gone over the hols.

( Filtered to Kisa )

[[Yes, I'm back... sort of... a little, hopefully.~
Ravenclaw team, feel free to chew him out for losing focus and getting into a yelling match with Agito. XD Also, we're NPCing the third Ravenclaw chaser for now since nobody's signed up for it, ahem. Toshiro missed last week's fifth-year Potions study group, the game being the next day, but had told everyone to go on without him, which might or might not have happened. XD ]]
