ooc: I'm SO not writing Dumbledore.. I'll write Snape on all occasions, but definitely not Dumbledore.. SADRIA!!! you do it! ic: "Hey Adrian!" people kept greeting me on the way in, that is, Slytherins kept greeting me on my way into the Great Hall. I was about to sit down next to some of my acquaintances when I could hear a bit of commotion behind me; giggles and the clatter of footsteps. I turned around to see a group of four girls staring obnoxiously at me, "hi Adrian!" 3rd years, and quite annoying as well. These four: Sonya Carpenter, Tasha Timbers, Taryn Summers, and Linda Sharp were always bugging me and there were very few times where I could not hear the echoes of their giggling. I turned to look at James Carpenter, Sonya's older brother. His face was red with embarrassment, "Sonya," he exclaimed, "go sit down." She rolled her eyes at him and left with her friends to their seats. "I think it's cute how they follow you around with their big sparkling eyes." I looked over my shoulder to see who was being bothersome this time. I locked eyes with Marie Poirier, "is that so?" I asked with a bit of a grin. I should of known it was her, she had a distinct French accent. "It is, the way they follow you around like your someone so famous. I suppose you are famous, the highest ranked Slytherin student, if not the highest Hogwarts student, and also the son of the legendary Adrian Minister Sr." She added with a smile. I would of usually been agitated at the mention of my father, but instead, her smile made my heart flutter. Wow, she looked beautiful. Her brown hair flowed down to her shoulders like a fountain of silk. Her eyes pierced mine and made my nerves melt. Her lips looked so soft that it was quite a temptation to kiss them the moment that bright smile appeared on her face. I nearly fell into a gaze but a hand placed on my shoulder snapped me out of it. My heart skipped a beat as I realized I wasn't dreaming. I looked up to see Snape smiling down on me. "Professor!" I exclaimed excited to see him once again. "Good to have you back, Adrian," he said with a pat on my shoulder. "I'm quite happy to be back to extend my knowledge, sir." "I'm betting Dumbledore's upcoming announcement is going to make you even more excited." With that he walked up to the front of the hall where the rest of the professors stood, including Dumbledore who was now approaching the podium. "I wonder what he means," Marie pondered watching Dumbledore closely. I'm so happy to be back! I thought to myself as a small smile creased my lips. ooc: Sorry, I was kinda daydreaming, myself, on the third paragraph.. GOD I LOVE MY IMAGINATION

OOC: LOL You're a goof. I believe I was to be playing the role of Dumbledore, but sadly I can't post at the moment because I'm off to grandmother's house today and I have to get ready. Sorry, I'll post asap!

OOC: SAH-ree. And, I'm not a big fan of that pic any more. Gabey-baby however... LOL
IC:
Alita was settled into a place on the bench beside one of the Gryffindor tables, eagerly awaiting Dumbledore's beginning of the year speech.
The tall old man was always he picture of vibrance and serenity, and light of the floating candles gleaming playfully off of his half-moon spectacles. He peered around the Great Hall over the podium, before finally speaking.
"Greetings, students! I am pleased to welcome you to a new year at Hogwarts! I can see that all of you students are very eager to begin the feast, and I cannot say that I blame you. However, before we begin I have a few announcements to make." He paused and Alita smiled, having missed all of the wonder of this school and it's teachers.
"First of all, as I am sure many of you are aware, the forest at the edge of the grounds is off limits, as is Hogsmeade to any students below third year. I would also like to welcome a new Teacher to the school, Professor Cicero Antony, who will be undertaking the formidable job of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
A tall, slender man with wavy brown hair pulled back into a ponytail behind his head stood up awkwardly from his place at the teacher's table. The students in the hall applauded politely and he turned his head, nodding to Dumbledore. Alita saw that he had a young, graceful Roman profile that made him quite handsome, especially for a teacher at Hogwarts. As the applause died down he sat again, smiling faintly out toward the students.
"Yes." Dumbledore continued, "I also have an even more exciting announcement for you all." He paused and Alita could see genuine enthusiasm sparkling in his gentle eyes. "I am very pleased to inform you that this year in addition to the inter-house quidditch cup, we will also be holding the first annual Hogwarts Cup."
The students all began whispering to each other, wondering what this new event could be.
Dumbledore cleared his throat. "If I could have your attention back for just a moment, yes, that means you as well Mr. Winters." As soon as the hall was silent again he continued to speak. "As I said, we will be holding a new event, the Hogwarts Cup. A student from each house will be selected to compete in a series of events that will test your wit, endurance and magical prowess. The student who is deemed the champion will win 100 points for their house, as well as a substantial amount of galleons I dare not mention." This news was greeted with much enthusiasm from all houses. "Any student can put forward their name for consideration, though it is unlikely any student below the fourth year will be selected to compete." He paused, smiling broadly at the congregation and adjusted the spectacles on his long, crooked nose.
"Now, without any further ado from yours truly, let us begin our feast!" He raised his arms grandly in the air and all manner of delicious food appeared magically on he platters in front of them all. With a great sound of approval the students began piling their plates high with piping hot bread, meats and all sorts of side dishes.
Alita poured herself a goblet of pumpkin juice and helped herself to a plateful of turkey, roast potatoes and several kinds of rolls.
"That new teacher, Professor Antony... what do you think of him?" she asked Lucille Adkins, the Gryffindor girl that sat to her right as she buttered a roll.
"He looks quite young... and handsome..." she said with a giggle, sipping her own goblet of pumpkin juice.
"Oh stop!" Alita laughed. "I wonder what sort of teacher he is, though..."
She watched him gingerly place some roast beef and mashed potatoes onto his plate and listen to something Professor Flitwick was happily telling him. He smiled softly and kindly, and he didn't seem much like any other Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers she had known.
OOC: You guys had BETTER appreciate that post, cuz it took me HOURS. Oh, and Prof. Antony is miiiiiine...... lol

ooc: Or rather.. you're lucky is was good considering how long the wait was lol.. and.. nice addition for putting a teacher in that you guys would go after lol.. though.. I doubt he'll rival Marie in looks... still lookin for that BLUE JEAN BABY QUEEN, PRETTIEST GIRL I EVER SEEN, see her shake on the movie screen, Jimmy Dean.. Jimmy Dean.. ROCK ON!.. ROCK ON! Hey Kid! Rock n' Roll, ROCK ON! sorry, can't get that song out of my head lol DARN YOU DEF LEPPARD FOR BEING SO GOOD!! >< ic: The moment Dumbledore mentioned a first annual Hogwarts Cup my heart jumped and my head was already thinking ahead. That is already mine, I thought to myself eager to find out more about this. I shot a glance at Professor Snape, he was chatting with another teacher. This was no doubt what he was talking about. After Dumbledore was finished Marie turned to one of her friends sitting across from her, "that's gonna be so awesome! A Hogwarts Cup!" "You'd better get practicing," her friend replied, "you're gonna have stiff competition," she added shooting a glance at me. I quickly looked away pretending not to notice anything. Marie laughed, "oh Adrian?" she said to catch my attention, "he won't be a problem," she said giving my a little push. A grin crept across my face, "oh really?" "Not at all," she said with a smirk "you might as well give up right now. Unless you wish to face my wrath." "oh," I replied imitating a frightened person, "I would never want to get on your angry side. I guess I have no choice," I said pulling out a white cloth from my inside pocket. "I give," I laughed waving it around. ooc: I'm just gonna flirt with my imagination until I can post something good lol

OOC: xD I like Antony. ^^ I like him muchly. However I'm a bit romanticated with someone else, currently... someone REAL. (And as far as fictional guys go, Edrian and Jack Sparrow and Kadaj - okay, and pretty much everyone in the Ouran High School Host Club - and umm... the Hell's Finest... and Jim Hawkins... not to mention Sawyer from Lost... *ahem* shall forever have custody of my heart. <3 Though it's likely that Cicero here'll squeeze his way in there, somehow, as things progress.) BUT NONETHELESS!! ... Matthew's funny and plays the piano and watches Pooh movies. Plus, like I said, he exists. That's always a bonus. Ace, would it kill you to put paragraph breaks when a new character starts talking? ... Oh and another thing, I'm SURE there was like, money involved in the prize for the Hogwarts Cup. Like a lot of money. I'm POSITIVE. There wasn't in the movie but there DEFINATELY was in the book. I remember cuz Harry gave it to Fred and George and that's how they started their joke shop. So I'm gonna just refference that as though it was mentioned in Dumbledore's speech, if it's okay with you guys ;^^ If not, I can certainly change it... I only insist on it because that's Baiely's only reason for signing up to be considered. IC: Bailey and a few other girls sat together at the Hufflepuff table around a shepard's pie at least two feet in diameter, chattering happily about the various pieces of news. "The House Cup sounds so exciting; I wonder what sort of challenges the Headmaster was talking about?" pondered Lynette, scooping mashed potatoes onto her plate. "Anyone here going to sign up?" "I might," Katherine said loudly. "I'm told by my proffessors I'm outstanding for a witch of my age." "Put a roll in it," Patricia snapped, grabbing one from a basket and shoving it in Katherine's mouth. Baiely giggled. "Well I think that's a fine idea," she added, sipping her pumpkin juice contentedly. "If there's one person chosen from each house, you've certainly got as good a chance as any, Patricia; you're positively brilliant at transfiguration and things like that." "Hey, Bailey," Lynette began excitedly, "I think you ought to give it a try!" Bailey blinked, setting down her goblet in surprise. "W-what? Me?" "Sure," Patricia agreed, "you've got such a knack at dealing with delicate situations; and we all know how talented you are with magical creatures." "O-oh," Baiely stuttered, shaking her head, "I don't think so... I doubt the challenges would have anything to do with magical creatures, anyway." "I dunno... that's an awful lot of prize money," sighed Lynette. "I'd be willing to chance it, myself." Bailey opened her mouth as if to say something, then stopped in mid-protest. Biting her lip, as though she were lost in thought, she pushed her food around with her fork, suddenly very quiet. "Well I'm not sure," she finally muttered. "You know what I'M sure about," Katherine interrupted shrilly, having regrettably swallowed the roll. "The new DA proffessor!" "Don't be silly, he's too old," Lynette clucked, and the three other girls started off on a heated conversation on Proffessor Antony. Meanwhile, Bailey, relieved that the subject had changed, continued thinking to herself... The prize money... it could get Hazel into college; it could help make sure Darien and Mum could provide for themselves... I could really do something to help my family, after all these years of just selfishly relying on them.
If only I wasn't such a coward...

OOC: Zoe, you're talking about the TRIWIZARD cup. NOT the Hogwarts cup. We MADE UP the Hogwarts cup. You guys made me make it up, so don't be hatin' if you don't like it lol
But yeah, this is TOTALLY different from the Triwizard cup, so you may wanna change your post just an eensie bit. Seeing as how the Hogwarts Cup has never happened before.

OOC: Oohh... sorry, I was thinking it was all the exact same rules/history as the Triwizard Cup, just within the school. ;^^ But would it be too much trouble to keep the prize money? Otherwise Bailey wouldn't dream of entering in any kind of competition; she's only entering it, as it is, so she can help her family. I'll change it so that they haven't heard anything of it happening before now, though. Sorry!

((OOC: I told you so, Onee-chan. Ash, you suck for getting the bishounen. I don't have any. )) Flicka's eyes just about sparked at the mention of the cup, glinting with anticipation. A test of skills, a competition where you had to put forth everything you had against everything someone else had and see which one held up the best. This was just up her alley. 'Well, this ought to be fun. I wonder who's going to enter. I'd like to face off against that Slytherin brat from the train, certainly.' She thought, almost sure already that she would be participating. 'After all, I'm the smartest in our grade, and I skipped a grade to boot. Who else would be chosen in my house?'Flicka was broken out of her daydream by a voice from her right. She jumped slightly, turning to see her friend Cat had spoken. Cat stopped, seeing Flicka's surprise. "Flicka? Something wrong?" She asked, looking a little concerned. Flicka shook her head quickly, feathers ruffled by the idea that she was worried or otherwise unwell. "No. Just thinking." She responded, and took a piece of turkey. Taking a bite, she paused for a second before casually speaking up. "So," She said, "What do you all think of that Hogwarts cup?" "Oh, I think it's brilliant." Answered Cat. "Should be real fun to watch, but I don't think I'll be entering. I have too much to do already, with exams this year." Ren laughed from across the table. "You're right, it does sound good. But I'm more interested in the new professor." Flikca rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on, Ren. He's old! Besides, he won't be around for more than a year. I think the cup is much more interesting." "Will you sign up for it?" Asked Ren, pretending she didn't already know the answer. Flikca smiled. "What do you think? Of course I'm signing up."

OOC: prize money is a good idea; I changed my post.
IC:
Alita chewed her roll thoughtfully. And what about that tournament? It certainly sounds exciting, and the prize sounds ace...
"No way am I signing up! Who knows what those tasks could be? Sounds way to vague." Lucille was saying to Wendy, another Gryffindor girl. "How about you, Alita?"
"Hmm? Me? Oh, probably will. What could be the harm? Do you realize how slim my chances of being picked are?" Alita replied, pushing her potatoes around with her fork.
"I s'pose you're right..."
"Besides, that prize money could sure come in handy." she remarked before commencing to eat the potatoes on her fork.
"Got that right. I've got bugger all...*" Wendy sighed and took a drink of pumpkin juice.
"Oh, I'm signing up for sure!" Alita turned to see Michael Winters, a Gryffindor boy, bragging to his friends. "I could do anything they throw at me."
She shook her head, "Is that so, Winters?"
"You got that right, Lochrin." He across the table toward her. "Why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason. I guess I was just looking out for you. It just so happens that I'm entering too, and when I get picked instead of you, you won't hear an end to it." She winked and took another bite of potato.
