Venus Doom. [Open]

[Professor Sebastiania Bouvier]

It had been a long time since Sebastiania went down to the lake and sat on the pier. The last couple have days had been going by so slowly for the second year. Nothing seemed to ever change around her. Everyone seemed so upbeat. What was so fun about life? Was there something she missed out. Obviously she was since she wasn't bouncing around like normal.

Sebastiania felt somewhat abandoned. Pete had left school and Brendon seemed to have abandoned her again. Oh well. At least she still had Lysander to talk to. Since she had been hanging out with Lysander quite a lot lately he seemed a lot more open about things. She could see him smiling at some things she said. At least he was changing for his own good a bit. Hopefully he would always be the Lysander she had met.

"Hello mother, Something is for you. I'm not that crazy. Hello father, I'm curious. Why do you think something is wrong with me? Sometimes I cry all night. It's not so bad. Try to understand. This is who I am," she sang to herself. It was her favorite Shiny Toy Gun song.

Sebastiania walked over to the edge of the pier. She brought her legs close to her and sat Indian Style on the rock. Seb never found herself fond of the water. Always had that fear that she was going to drown. Luckily that one time she was in the water Brendon was there so she hung onto him for dear life. "It's not so bad. Please try to understand. This is who I am."

Her brown hair was in a pony tail and some of her hair was in her face. She wore a black shirt with jeans. It had Audrey Kitching on it looking dead with a sidekick in her hands. On the back it said 'Who the f-ck is Audrey Kitching?'. Sebastiania thought it was pretty cool since Audrey Kitching was her inspiration.

Sebby watched the waves crash over and over. Never once had she ever seen the Giant Squid. But did she really want to see it? Maybe. Not if it was going to eat her. She sighed as she thought to herself some.

[Jodi Peterson]

Today Jodi felt just so upbeat. Everyone she talked to, asked if she was on drugs. Of course the answer was no, but for people to even ask, meant Jodi was serisioulsy weird today. Jodi wasn't acting so weird that is embarressed her. She knew that she shouldn't be embarressed about anything. Jodi was just being herself, even if that meant acting a little strange.

It all started from when Jodi actually slipped on a banana peel. Who would have thought, She was walking through the great hall at breakfast time and voomph; she was on the ground, a banana peel stuck to her bum. To make matters worse, the place was almost full with students. Atleast 100 or so. Once Jodi had stood up, ad picked the peel from her bottom, she looked around for the culprite. She didn't find one.

And what made matters worse; Jodi was wearing her brand new pair of hot pink tight fitting jeans. If she had slipped on the peel any other day, Jodi would have laughed it off, but not today.

So, as Jodi generally did these days, she walked back to her dorm and slammed the door. She spent fifteen minutes chucking a psycho. For Jodi, this meant that she was yelling and screaming, kicking and punching her pillow. She even turned her poor little Teddy into a hair brush. It was the first spell that came to mind, without really thinking. She hadn't screamed the spell. She'd pointed her wand at the Teddy, and before she knew it Teddy was a brush.

Jodi left her dorm about an hour later, wearing what she'd worn in the great hall. She'd used spells and spells to clean the pants and only a small spell seemed to remain. She'd tied up her hair in two pony tails, ended with pink ribbon as usual. The weirdest thing was her face; it was covered in this make-up stuff AND she was smiling. No-one who new Jodi would have recognized this thing as Jodi. Jodi didn't wear make-up. It was almost like a moral she had; "Make up = weird" or something similar. Jodi walked from her dorm with her guitar in one hand, and her hair brush in the other.

Jodi skipped all of the way down to the lake, not stopping singing as she did. She sung muggle songs and wizarding song, at one stage she even sung a Hufflepuff quidditch cheer. And today it seemed like nothing could ruin her day. She felt like she was invinciable.

Once Jodi reached the lake, she spotted a girl. Strangly enough, this girl was also singing. Jodi had found the best dance and singing partner. And this one would REALLY sing. Jodi was excited as all hell. This girl was siting down on a rock though, looked to dangerous for Jodi walk over to her. Her voice would have to be her best weapon.

"Hello. I'm Jodi. Head Girl. Hufflepuff Chaser and all of those other stupid titles. I was wondering if you could help me. I heard you singing," Jodi said, taking a deep breath and bursting out in song. "What about my problems? The people try to solve them?" Jodi sung in a lovely voice. One she hadn't used in over a week.

"Shiny Toy Guns isn't it?" Jodi asked the girl, already knowing the answer. "I was wondering if wouldn't like to sing with me? I love to sing, but i love to play guitar and dance too. Just wondering if you'd like to muck around with me musically wise?" Jodi asked holding her guitar for the girl to see.

[Professor Sebastiania Bouvier]

Dancing partner? Sebastiania Mariah Bouvier a dancing partner? Please; this girl couldn't walk a flat surface to save her life. Something like a blade of grass or her shoe would be in her way then ploof there would go Sebby to the ground right on her face. Not a very good scene for the five foot three girl.

There was a femine voice and Sebastiania turned around. There was a girl way taller than she was; lucky. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the girl as she began randomly talking to her. Lucky thing Sebastiania was sort of like Jodi but after spending the last three terms around dear Lysander-kinds she had grown a bit mellow so to speak.

The Gryffindor blinked and continued to stare at the girl. "What kind of problem do you have?" Sebastiania wasn't one to just jump right in and solve a problem but, she did like helping people though so she quickly agreed.

Sebastiania nodded. Yes, Shiny Toy Guns. She hadn't listened to them in ages. ;_; Seb had been listening to 'Passion's Killing Floor' by HIM for the past few days. Their new album was coming out next week and her parents said that they would send it to her. Seb would have to get Lysander to come with her to listen to the album and such.

"I guess I could sing with you, if you wanted." What if they didn't like the same bands or knew the same songs. That would be odd. But since the girl noticed 'Jackie Will Save Me' lyrics by STG then they would probably not have that problem.

It's poetry carved in flesh. It's beautiful hell with us. To the deadly sin we confess and tears of joy fill our eyes.

We are safe with this bigotries. My out there prophecies of doom.

My heart's a graveyard baby. And to evil we make love on our passion's killing floor. In my arms you won't sleep safely. And of lust we are re-born on our passion's killing floor.

At the first kiss the seeds of hatred are sown. Back into darkness we flee to tear our hearts out.

[Jodi Peterson]

Jodi smiled as the girl seemed to warm to her presence. She wouldn't have been surprised if the first told her to go stick it. Jodi was a very 'in your face' kind of person. It annoyed people. It annoyed A LOT of people. But it seemed that Jodi was lucky to stumble upon a girl who had tolerance. Of course, tolerance could always be short lived.

"I slipped on a banana peel this morning! Can you believe that? I mean, I was just walking and vooom.... i was on my arse. Hurt a bit too," Jodi said, rubbing her bum as the pain came back to her momentarily. "Actually, a little more then a bit, maybe like heaps. If that makes sense. So anyways..."

Jodi listened as the girl sung. Jodi didn't recognize the song Sebastiania was singing, but enjoyed it all of the same. She'd talked about liking HIM. That was always a good start. Jodi had heard of Join Me by HIM. Maybe Sebastiania knew that song also. Jodi only helped.

"Come over here. Sit with me," Jodi said, hoping the girl would move off the rock and sit with her on the grass. Usually, Jodi would bring a blanket or something to sit on so her pants didn't get stained. Ever since she'd learned a spell that got rid of stains from clothes, she'd forgotten about general hygiene and didn't worry so much about sitting on grass or dirt. Even if she was wearing her favorite new pants.

Jodi sat on the grass, and crossed her legs. She sat her guitar on the lap, and held it ready to play. Being a left-handed, she had her guitar stung for herself. This was always something Jodi took for granted. It was a great excuse to stop other people from touching the almighty guitar. Unless of course the other person was left handed themselves, then Jodi found it hard to find an excuse. She wasn't overly protective of her guitar, but the least amount of people that played it the better.

Jodi strummed a C and a G chord, moving between both. She played around with a few notes, waiting for the girl to join her. "I know the song Join Me by HIM, do you know that one?" Jodi questioned in an almost loving voice. She smiled to the girl. She was a very nice singer. Jodi just hoped that she didn't put the girl off. She did have a way of doing that to other people sometimes. Something about the way she always stuck her tongue out when playing.
