[size=1][font=veranda]Calypso and Raven held Ren between them, and they exchanged sympathetic look over his head. Caly had managed to grab his things. ?Ren, calm down?? Ren sobbed again. ?[I]Diosa[/I], love, I wish I could help? there?s nothing I can do!? Calypso wished she could do more than comfort him, but it was impossible. She let Raven handle it, and took out her cellphone. ?Andy?? ?Yeah?? ?Ren?s family? their dead.? There was silence on the other end.[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=red]You evil man! *bashes his head with a Pringles can* ;_; I hate this system. I wanna pooooost? *sits in the corner, glaring at him*[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][center][color=red]Lyllith buried her hands in his soft hair, her lips tingling as they kissed. AS the tips of their tongues touched, she too felt a shock, and her body pressed closer. Leaning against him, she felt the friction as their bodies touched, and her kisses became more passionate. His arms encircled her waist, one teasing the nerves in the small of her back. She freed one hand to undo her coat, and let it slip to the ground behind her. The black clothe of the demoness? tanktop rustled as their torso?s brushed together, and another shiver was sent up her spine as he triggered a nerve. ~*~ Urd smiled, sitting at her loom. The shuttle wove back and forth, and Verdandy cut a single silver thread in the middle. Skuld wove another silver, and then a gold and crimson together. ?[b]How interesting this story is turning out to be.[/b]? All around them multitudes of fabric tumbled, neverending.[/size][/font][/color][/center]

[QUOTE=Icarus2K]Talk about damn efficiency, you all must be eager to post. Remember it can be as long or as short as it wants, you have a day to work on whatever you want. But i'm sure not all fo you will take a day, like Jamie and Steff for example. Great posts, now on with the story, we'll stay on chapter one, i have something organised in my post. And yes Steff, ~.~ you did mention you liked my pictures. Whatever you saw them as, i do not want to know. Haha, ok on with the story my friends.[/QUOTE] [size=1][font=veranda][color=red]Of course it won't take me that long! Sean, I live on the internet, okay? Besides, its been a while since I've played horror, and played the type of character Naomi is. LOL I already told you. >_< Bye bye kilt. LOL Th ebobsleigh was bad, though. That was YOU.[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=red]Done, Sean. ^_^ Did i mention I liked your new pictures?[/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=red]Naomi sat on her bed, curled up. She hugged her knees to her chest, brown eyes clenched shut against the shadow that passed along the wall. Her window barred and covered, every candle lit. Her mother sat on the bed, holding the teenager close, and the two swallowed as they heard the snap of someones bones breaking against the outside wall. Naomi forced it out of her mind, and said under her breath, ?[I]Circle turn, Goddess preserve us. Danger pass. Please, hear my prayer![/I]? Her mother held her tighter as they heard shuffling outside, and a low growl before a sharp scream. Naomi bit back a sob, and her shoulders shook with the effort. Soon all was quiet, and her mother said, ?[I]By the Gods? good grace? peace be upon us.[/I]? Both had their eyes closed. It was so difficult for them. A mother and her daughter, with no men in the house. Naomi did not move, and pressed close to her mother and the solid wall behind them.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=red][size=1][font=veranda]Somewhere in the back of Calypso?s mind, she heard the faint buzz of telepathic conversation. She lay in the hospital bed, the machine beeping next to her. It monitered her heart rate, and nothing was out of order. She just felt like hell. Destiny?s death had traumatized her, and she had tried to absorb some of the girls pain. It had been a bad idea. Calypso?s head turned, and she murmured, ?[b]Sefir?[/b]? She gasped sharply, and a longer beep came from the machine, before her heart settled again. [I]Leya? Caly? Yeah. I?m okay. When Destiny was killed?[/I] She trailed off. There was an apprehensive silence before: [I]Yes? The man? he was? American. Not Native, like me. I could feel it. He had a bizarre touch to him. He- oh, hellfires, I don?t remember now. Tell Sandy I need her to analyze my glaive. I ?saved? his image and data system. All right.[/I] OOC: >> Sandy should be another Mystic, one of Caly?s older lovers. Sorry I took so long! >

[size=1][font=veranda]You know, I used to have this theory that the Bible used to be a really good fantasy book. >> Things like Charmed and BeWitched and such give witches such a bad name. I can?t shoot fireballs(much as I would like to. Grr), teleport, or put little kids under spells. Things like that are stupid, and totally unrealistic. The closest I?VE seen to real magic in publicity is Willow and Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer; and even that isn?t quite. >< Magic and such is very confusing. Religion in general is confusing. I was talking with a friend yesterday about religion, too. I was all asking questions (she?s Baptist), and we were talking about the Bible. I said, ?You know, the Bible has tons of misconceptions and such because you can never translate it to what it actually means in the original version. I mean, it was in LATIN.? She totally agreed. Look at the Muslim(or was it Jewish?) religion. >< I can?t remember, but to be part of the religion, you have to know how to read the language because they do not translate the holy book. Side note: The Bible(title) was derived from Biblio which means Book in Spanish. Other variations mean that, too. Sorry, just a random tidbit I found? random. >

[quote name='Icarus2K']I do hate the whole Satanic thing though, that must be annoying for all Wiccans, being stereotyped as a Stanaic because of your Neo-Pagan religion.[/quote] [size=1][font=veranda]The 'all witches/Wiccans are Satan worshipers? theory came around because there is a Pagan god named Loki, who was reknowned for being a trickster. He also was usually depicted as a faun, with the goat legs and the horns. Sean, not just Wiccan?s are stereotyped as Satanic, its all magic users or those who do not worship God. -.- Its frustrating, yes.[/size][/font]

[QUOTE=wiccansamurai]*cough* So what are these REAL wiccans, then? Because about all I said was it was an earth loving religon, and if you disagree with that, I don't know what YOU'VE been taught, but that's what I've been taught. And no one here but me claims to be wiccan. So you were obviously referring to me.[/QUOTE] [size=1][font=veranda]Exactly. kenshinbabe, for one, wiccansamurai seems to be acting more of a Wiccan than you are. Midnight and I are not Wiccan's. Let me make this clear to the rest of you: Wiccan's are not those kids who go around wearing pentacles and getting on their parents nerves on purpose and saying things like 'I can put a curse on you if you tick me off'. Okay? I mean, who else ahs heard of the three-fold rule? [quote name='kenshinbabe']Not to embarrass any REAL wiccans, but you guys are just wannabes. I know plenty of real wiccans and I can tell just by reading your posts that you are not wiccans. Give up the sharade now and stop giving people like me a bad name![/quote] Witht hat one post, you gave yourself a bad name. -.-[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda]Calypso elbowed Gary. Gary glanced over, and said, ?Erm? look guys? okay, I was going to leave, but Caly made me stay, okay?? He said, somewhat irritable. Calypso flipped Ren the knife. ?He said to you.? She flashed Gary that familiar teasing smile, and punched his shoulder. Gary said, ?Hey-!? He caught Caly in a headlock, and nuggied her. Calypso screeched, laughing. Gary let go, glaring. ?Now that?s the Gary we know.? Raven smiled slightly, stirring her drink with the straw. Gary said, finally, after a couple moments of silence, ?Raven, Heather misses you.[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda]Jamie got off the plane, blue eyes sparkling. She brushed a strand of semi-blonde hair over one shoulder, and tucked it behind her ear. Shouldering her messenger bag, she headed for the luggage drop-off. She got her rolling suitcases, one in each hand, and pulled them along, heading for the hotel. -Fifteen Minutes Later- Jamie sat in her hotel room, unfolding her costume. She grabbed the red hair dye from the bag, and decided to go as Ruby Moon the first day instead of her counter part. Ten minutes later, she rinsed out the extra dye from her long hair, making it more of a pink color. She dressed, and then slipped in the butterfly errings before twisting her hair up, and putting in the red contacts. Lasy but not least, she put on a layer of red lipstick, and put on her flipflops. Jamie turned around in front of the mirror, and smiled. ?Perfect.? She left the hotel room, locking the door behind her. -Thirty Minutes- Jamie walked into the room right behind a boy dressed as Amidamaru, and looked around. She spotted a guy in a Gene Starwind costume, and decided to go talk to him.[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]Can I get a banner and avi, please? COuld you make it sort of dark and depressive? I want the characters Chie Matsuoka and Kaho Morii. COuld the banner have teh quote, 'I'm broken inside... I'm the hunted', and myname, Delirium, somewhere on it? ITs been a long time since I requested something... with the avi it doesn't matter. Please and thank you![/size][/font][/color]

[size=1][font=veranda][center]Lyllith looked at him in wide-eyed shock. ?[b]You saw that? Oh, wow?[/b]? Her fingers curled through his gently. ?[b]You saw me, three guardians, and the demon in pain is Morganna.[/b]? She saw him shiver; her Lady?s name always did that. ?[b]But? can we forget that right now?[/b]? Connor nodded. Lyllith relaxed, a smile on her face. Instead of another kiss, she just wrapped her arms around him, and let her head rest on his shoulder. Connor kissed her head, and Lylliht lifted her head to look at him. She smiled, and finally kissed him again. The demonesses hands detangled from Connor?s hands, and buried themselves in his hair as his hands rested on her hips. The kiss was long, and Lyllith reluctantly broke it when they needed to breath. ?[b]Oh, gods, Connor, I have missed you so much![/b]? ~*~ Naomi watched with a smile as Morganna went around, touching familiar things. A tray appeared on the soft, lush magenta bed covers, meat patties steaming. The tray also held slices of different cheeses, fruits never heard of by humans ? and the wine next to it was the first of its kind to be opened in years. ?[b]Lady, would you like to eat?[/b]?[/size][/font][/center]

[center][size=1][font=veranda]OOC: LOL I know exactly what it is. Worshipness! IC: Lyllith felt secure, and let her fingers lace in with Connor?s. They made for the park, where Lyllith had run to, and the two walked along the large field. They walked together along the forest, when finally, Lyllith stopped. They were out of sight of anyone who might know them. Lyllith turned, dropped her disguise, and flung her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist, and she kissed him lovingly. When their lips parted, Lyllith just stared into his eyes, her own gold ones relaxed. ?[b]Oh, gods, Connor, I thought you were dead![/b]? The two watched, and then Lyllith kissed him again. ?[b] Don?t ever do that again![/b]? Now her eyes were furious and wet, and she said, ?[b]Or I?ll, or-[/b]? Connor laughed at her frustrated expression, and silenced with another kiss.[/size][/font][/center]

[size=1][font=veranda]Calypso stared after him, and then muttered, ?Oh, hell.? She got up, slipping the blade in her pocket, and made after him. She almost lost him in the foud court, but caught up again quickly. In the parkinglot, she grabbed his arm, and said, ?Gary, what do you think your doing? Okay, so we did those stupid killings. I?m sure Rave told you; its addicting.? He watched her, and said, ?Caly, please let me go.? She shook her head. ?Gary, you can?t. Me, Raven, the others ? we?d miss you. I couldn?t let you tell anyone. But ? I can?t let you go, either.? She hugged him, and said, ?Gary, please stay. Or I?ll tell Raven, and she?ll hunt you down to bring you back. You tell Raven yourself Heather misses her.? Calypso turned, and left, and made it back to the group in a little over three minutes. ?Hey guys.?[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda]Wow. You know, there have been a million threads like this. I don?t know to much about Wicca in specific, but I myself am a Witch. You don?t have to be Wiccan to be a witch, so get that thought far away. But as samurai said, it is an earth-loving religion, and varied. I also recommend Silver Ravenwolf and Scott Cunningham, as both are good for witches as well as Wiccan?s. I can?t tell you much, except that Wiccans (like some Witches) usually worship a God and Goddess, though some Wiccans worship only a Goddess. The reason for this is(I think) is because in the Christian religion, the woman deity is not only neglected, it seems like blasphemy(sp?). I know; I don?t want to be offensive. Wicca and witches were around long before Christianity, and the Christians brutally forced them out, and stole their holidays for more power. >_< I hate saying things like that, but its true. I mean, the Romans were known for brutality. Hey, look at where Easter and Christmas are placed! Right on Yule and Ostara. >_< Okay, rant over. EDIT: SOrry, Midnight, for confusing you. >_< I know they don't have one. I meant, they think the idea is insulting.[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda]Raven didn?t look at her. Calypso looked up, and let the bags drop to the seat beside her. ?I?m gonna go wash up, okay?? She got up, squeezed past Andy, and headed for the bathroom. She stopped, seeing Chris cornered. Slowly, Caly walked up behind the guys, a,d pulled her own knife. She pressed the point to the guys neck, and hissed in his ear, ?Let the chick go or this knife goes straight through your jugular.? The guys froze, and Chris seemed to relax. ?I?ll give you five to get your asses out of here, and any loger than that, and you won?t see past the ground.? Calypso meant her threat. As the guy removed the switch blade, and stepped back, Calypso?s knife following him. No one really noticed them, otherwise they all would have been in big trouble. Calypso watched as the guys shot her a look before disappeareing. Her knife disappeared, and she turned to Chris. She raised an eyebrow, and said, ?How do you get yourself into these things, Chris??[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][center]Lyllith nodded. ?[b]Morganna, this is our Lady Naomi, the true daughter of Death.[/b]? Naomi smiled, brown eyes flickering gold for a brief moment, then sobering. ?[b]Morganna, you may not remember me, but I was born just before you were overpowered. That was when Death was weakest, and minions of He who Rules sent you away.[/b]? Her eyes clouded, changing to a silver colored. ?[b]My eyes do as yours do, Morganna. At the moment, since you have been gone for so long, though it feels to only be a day or two to we demons?[/b]? The thought for a moment, and then continued, ?[b]You would be, as the humans would say, revered. No one expected you to come back. Feared, maybe, and maybe even thought to be a lie.[/b]? Lyllith turned, and spoke with Veritas. The winged female nodded, and disappeared. Then Lyllith said, quietly, ?[b] Naomi? I am sure you can fill her in better than I can. I have some unfinished business to attend to.[/b]? The princess nodded, and Lyllith spread her large, crimson wings before launching gracefully into the air, and disappearing. Naomi watched her go with a thoughtful expression. ?[b]I feel so sorry for her, Morganna. My brother has cursed her with human feelings and needs ? she has fallen in love.[/b]? She sighed. ?[b]Unfortunately for her, when the curse is gone, the bond with that human will still be there.[/b]? OOC: Jacob, I am going to have Connor have gotten out of the hospital already, kk? ^_^ IC: Lyllith knew Jacob was back home, and so she walked quietly down the street in human guise. She wore tight black jeans, boots, a black tank top, and a black trench coat. Her hair was braided. She walked up to his door, and sighed. [I]Here goes nothing?[/I] The girl knocked, and looked at her feet, green eyes hazy.[/size][/font][/center]

[size=1][font=veranda][center]Lyllith looked to Lunas. Lunas nodded, and started off at a brisk pace. People glanced out of doorways in the murky hall, watching them. At the end of the corridor was a pair of large double doors, which Lunas opened. Lyllith, still holding Eterea?s hand, entered, the girl in tow. All the noises, the strange magic, suddenly disappeared. This made Eterea jump. Lyllith smiled. ?[b]I know, the sudden silence is startling.[/b]? A figure unfolded from the corner, and a dog-like human came forth. From the tall, vaulted ceiling a figure dropped. A female, whose arms were covered in feathers, and had talons, and hard lips. And her eyes.. ?[b]Eterea, Kaiser and Veritas.[/b]? The two bowed. Lyllith turned to the girl and placed a hand on her forehead. The three guardians formed a circle around them, and Lyllith chanted something. Tuneless, and the words made themselves forgotten as soon as they were spoken. Eterea cried out, and dropped to her knees. Large wings protruded from her back, making a cracking sound as they unfolded, and spread her bones to let them pass. Blood spurted from the flesh wounds, and Lyllith knelt next to her. So did the guardians, still in the rings. ?Morganna.?[/size][/font][/center]

[size=1][font=veranda]OOC: XP Switching to cheerful mode? transfer complete. IC: Calypso parted from the group, telling Andy she had a couple things to do. He gave her a look, and shrugged. Caly instantly swerved for the music store, and stood in there, sampling different things. Finally she picked a few, and bought them, before heading over to the candy shop. She stepped inside, and reflexively side-stepped a runaway child. Reaching down, she swung him up, onto her hip, and turned to his mother. She flashed a thankful smile, which Calypso returned, as the mother took the little boy. Calypso went to a display, and came out ten minutes later with a small paper bag. [I]Why am I doing this?[/I] She asked herself as she made for Applebee?s. Shifting the bags, Caly shrugged. She caught up with her friends, and they all sat down to order. ?Sorry about being such an asshole earlier, Raven.? Caly sat in the booth, next to the wall, hiding the bags.[/size][/font]

[size=1][font=veranda][color=indigo]^_^ Thanks, Asphy. Its okay. I had already written more(all below is all I have so fr plus upwards), so? yeah. I hope I didn?t turn her into a Mary Sue? o.0 Hermione said, ?[b]How much shopping do you have left?[/b]? She brushed a strand of tawny, puffy hair back from her face. Aida shrugged. ?[b]All I have to do is get my wand.[/b]? Ron looked at her open mouthed. ?[b]You don?t already have one?[/b]? Aida shook her head. ?[b]I come from the Aero-draconian Academy, and we don?t need wands.[/b]? To punctuate her words, the 15-year-old levitated the bags behind her with a blink. ?[b]Mostly, we at the Academy are telepaths, or telekinetic. I am both. We only use wands if we absolutely need them.[/b]? She blinked, crimson gaze never wavering. Hermione breathed out, ?[b]Amazing.[/b]? Ron was watching with pure admiration, and Harry seemed? relieved? Startled, Aida blinked, and the baggage dropped gently to the ground. Harry caught her eye, and she realized ? he had had all the attention on him for a while, and her being able to do what she could, would take some pressure off his shoulders. Aida shook herself mentally and said, ?[b]Well, I had best get my wand.[/b]? She turned, blinked again, and the stuff regained its height. Her brothers came around the corner, laughing. [b]?Harry, Ron, Hermione, these rascals are my brothers, Jendin and Kaiga.[/b]? The two boys grinned, and tipped invisible hats. Behind them came two boys who looked like older, skinnier versions of Ron. ?[b]Hoi, Ron, have you met those two yet?[/b]? Fred said. Without trying, Aida could tell the difference. Ron nodded. ?[b]Just did. Fred, George, meet Aida.[/b]? Aida nodded to them, and said, ?[b]Charmed.[/b]? Fred grinned, and said, ?[b]Same here.[/b]? George said, ?[b]C?mon, Kaiga and Jendin, we?ve got a new ? [/b]? Hermione said firmly, ?[b]You two, those two still have to get their wands. All your silly, pointless testing can wait.?[/b] Aida silenced her brother?s whines with a glance. ?[b]Come on, Jendin, Kaiga.[/b]? The two boys slinked behind her as the three departed for the wand shop. At the train station, two days later: Aida stood on Platform 9 and ¾, and Kaiga and Jendin were playing Tiddlywinks. The tall girl leaned on her cart, waiting for Ron, Hermione, and Harry, as well as the rest of the Weasly?s, to show up. She looked up as they came through the barrier, and she smiled, crimson eyes laughing as Fred and George pretended to run into a wall. Kaiga looked up. ?[b]Hoi, Fred, catch![/b]? The taller of the twin?s tossed Fred a small bundle. The carrot-topped twin caught it, and it exploded. Confetti and cat food (dry) fell down around his feet. Kaiga and Jendin laughed with each other. Aida cuffed Kaiga lightly. ?[b]You little rat-fink.[/b]? Kaiga had the grace to look sheepish. Soon the whistle blew, and they all piled into the train. Aida sat down in the compartment across from Harry, and Hermione said, ?[b]We?ll be right back.[/b]? The two left for the Prefect?s compartment. Aida and Harry sat in silence as the train started, Aida looking out the window as Fred and George waved. She heard the compartment door slide open, and heard, ?[b]Well, Nightbird, I thought I told you not to mess around with the wrong people.[/b]? Aida looked up, and cool, grey eyes met sparkling, bright crimson eyes. ?[b]Malfoy, I make friends with those who don?t care who my friends are.[/b]? Malfoy laughed, a small bark-like sound. ?[b]Then stay away from Potter. He hates me.[/b]? Harry said through gritted teeth, ?[b]Out, Malfoy.[/b]? Aida looked back at Harry, catching his bright green eyes. ?[b]Oh, stop. Your fights have nothing to support them except that you, Malfoy, hate it that Potter?s getting all the attention, and you, Potter, hate it that he can?t accept the fact that your famous whether you like it or not.[/b]? She stood up, and said, ?[b]Jendin, Kaiga, no.[/b]? The twins sulked. ?[b]No fair, Aida.[/b]? They squeezed in past Malfoy and sat down. Aida checked hre watch, and said, ?[b]Shouldn?t you be getting off to your compartment, Malfoy? We should be changing robes right about now.[/b]? The silver haired boy smirked, and left. Soon the four were in school robes. Aida wore school uniform, of course; the pleated skirt fell just short of her knees, and she wore a black, ribbed long-sleeved shirt with a V-neck, and a long sleeved white shirt under it. The shirt?s collar was out, and the cuffs turned up over the ends of the black shirt?s sleeves. She had white knee socks on, and a pair of black shoes. She sat back in the seat, watching the scenery. Harry watched her. She had handled Malfoy incredibly, and had not said a thing about his scar. Neither had the twins. Aida?s thoughts were not on him, though, but on a pair of beautiful grey eyes with amazing depth? Aida stood in the Great Hall, waiting as the last first year was sorted. Then McGonagall rolled up the parchment, and said, ?[b]Students, this year we have three of the few transfer students. I?d like you to be polite to them. Please welcome Aida, Kaiga, and Jendin Nightbird from Aero-Draconian?s School of Magic.[/b]? Aida stepped forward, robes swishing about her ankles. Some people gasped as they saw her, and she sat down on the stool. McGonagall sat the hat on her head, and the students all held their breath. Aida could hear the Sorting Hat whispering in her head. ?[b]Cunning? very honest, but witty.[/b]? It mumbled for a few more minutes at the Great Hall held its breath in anticipation. [b]?RAVENCLAW!?[/b] The hall burst into applause, and the Ravenclaw house stood up, cheering. Aida smiled, and walked purposefully towards the table. She was clapped on the back, and people made room for her. Her brothers went up, and both got sorted into Gryffindor. There was a lot of clamor about that, and people threw hats in the air. Aida ate with her new housemates, and answered questions without lying. Later, in the common room, Aida sat in a comfy chair before the fire, curled up. Anza was asleep in the girl?s dorm, in the windowsill. Aida turned the page in her book slowly, and blinked rapidly as the pages blurred. [I]I?ve been awake to long.[/I] She thought. Slowly unfolding herself, the girl stood up, and bookmarked the book. She closed it, and went quietly into the girl?s dormitory. Most of the girls were asleep, so she slipped past them, and went to her bed. Anza stayed asleep. Aida slowly changed, and was soon in bed. Anza lifted his head, blinked at her, and then went back to sleep. [center]~*~[/center] The next morning, one of the Ravenclaw girls shook her, and handed her uniform. Aida took it with a sleepy smile, and got dressed. The girl waited by her bedpost, and said in a quietly intelligent voice, ?[b]I?m Jillian. Nice to meet you.[/b]? Aida looked up, crimson eyes watching her. ?[b]Nice to meet you. I?m Aida.[/b]? Anza stretched, and Aida laughed. ?[b]Not in here, bird[/b].? She slipped on her socks and shoes as Anza waited, then went to the window and opened it. The large bird launched himself out of the window, and soared. Jillian watched with an amazed look on her face. Aida said, ?[b]If you like, I can show him to you later.[/b]? Jillian nodded, and smiled. ?[b]I?d like that. But for now, we should get to breakfast.[/b]? The two exited the room, and made it to the great hall. When they entered, all conversation stopped for a moment, everyone?s eyes focused on her. She flushed, and made her way to the Ravenclaw table behind Jillian. The girl knew where she was going to sit, and Aida took a moment. While people where moving for her, she caught Draco Malfoy watching her, his cool gray eyes evaluating her. Aida looked away, and sat down, instantly greeted by everyone. Soon schedules were passed down the table, and Aida read over hers. She and Jillian compared. ?[b]Oh! Neat! I?ve got Transfiguration, Charms, and Care of Magical Creatures with you![/b]? Aida nodded with a smile, and looked over the rest of her schedule. She had Transfiguration first, with History of Magic closely following. Next she had Charms, and double Runic. After that came CoMC, and then Potions. She then had her last class, Herbology. Her break was between Charms and Runic, with lunch at noon. SO I favor Ravenclaw, sue me.[/size][/font][/color]
