Mihael Table.

[gryphon]

Gryphon had always been an early bird, sleeping in had always felt like a waste of time to her somehow. Then again it wasn't as though she went to bed all that early either. Yet she still managed to get here to the Great Hall 7:00am on time. It wasn't like there was anything to be excited over nor did anyone have to worry that you may get cold toast if you came later. The house elves always made sure to keep everything warm and fresh for even the really late comers. The food was the same as it had always been.
Really it was rather weird for her to be up this early and be hungry. Even weirder it was always Gryphon who looked the most awake out of all the faces that did come early.

Nibbling on her piece of toast covered in strawberry jam, Gryphon flicked through the Daily Prophet. Worry lines creasing her pale brow at some of the articles occasionally. ...death eaters escaped from Azkaban ... these attacks could soon escalate to the general public... the Dark Mark was launched over a muggle house in Northern England…
The way things had been going it really wasn't looking good, and the hushed words of a new Dark Lord... Gryphon didn't want to think about it, no one really wanted to think about it.

Alone at the Mihael table Gryphon had been sitting here for awhile now. No doubt other students would be appearing soon to fill the Great Hall. There only being three others occupying the void-like room.

Yawning sleepily, Nort walked slowly into the great hall, automatically sitting next to his friend and reaching over and taking a slice of her toast. With a groan he contested the piece over a scone then seeing as it already was jammed up he continued to put the toast in his mouth.

After a moment or two of silence between then, which was usually quiet fine between them, Nort piped up. “Wat cha reading?” he asked reaching for a juice and pouring two glasses as usual. Breakfast, Dinner and Lunch…when ever possible were spent with Gryphon and thus the two had come into the habit of eating each others food, making drinks and buttering toast for the other… like an old married couple one could say.

If anything could get her in a better mood and make her forget about whatever danger Hogwarts and everyone could be in, it would have to be Nort. What ever he did it would surely change all thoughts onto lesser important subjects. Like her toast being stolen, and in such a casual matter too. If she ever saw a dream walking, he would have been it. Googly eyed choosing between scone or the stolen toast. Of course picking the delicious jammed up toast. Smiling at her best friend hopelessly, Gryphon then returned her eyes to the paper. Not interested in it much anymore she folded it and placed the thick papers to the side, jamming up another piece of toast to nibble at.

A few more students were taking seats at the other tables but for now it was only Nort and her at the pink and white house table. Gryphon looking towards the morning sunshine streaming through the giant windows at the very end of the Great Hall, near where the Professors and T.A's sat. Wondering if it would be very cold today...

"Huh?" She said in a daze when he asked what she was reading. Now looking at him pouring the juices. "Oh, just the Daily Prophet... Normal horrible things in it." She shrugged lightly taking her glass and sipping the apple juice. Gryphon didn't really like apple juice much but she didn't feel like complaining or mixing orange juice with it. "You get much sleep? You look pretty tired."

Nort only nodded in response to this question as he munched slowly on the jammed toast. “didn’t sleep to well really” he shrugged taking a sip of juice, closing his eyes to enjoy the cooling feel down his dried throat. Once the glass was empty he gently put it back down, it was not till now had he noticed the hall was crowding. It became clear that most gathered by a private table in which sat a long piece of parchment and two quills, it was the sign up list for the ball. Nort had never been to a dance yet and had by no means actually thought on the topic truly.

“You’re coming with me right?” he blurted out as he munched on more jammed toast not looking at Gryphon as he spoke. It was only natural that he ask her, what if some nasty looking girl came up to him and asked then he’s most definitely be obliged to say yes for the word ‘no’ didn’t exist in Nort’s vocabulary unless it concerned flying. “Halloween right? Cool!” accepting that she’d already agreed to go with him before she had the chance to answer. [/size]

[gryphon]

Gryphon frowned watching Nort finish the piece of toast and glass of juice. She hadn't really been getting enough sleep either, but that was more normal for her. Nort loved his sleep.
She had been wondering why exactly he hadn't gotten enough sleep when he blurted out something about her going with him somewhere. Confused and surprised to hear the question all of a sudden, naturally Gryphon would go anywhere in general with Nort. For a moment she was confused, staring at him blankly before she followed his gaze over to a rather large cluster of students. Which was confusing too until he finished the real question. Halloween. All hollows eve. The Ball coming up soon.

Not really all that surprise to hear him bring it up, already knowing that he would think they'd go together. She herself thought they would, dressing up all creepy-like. :] A smile crept over her pale lips as she stared at those students trying to get to the date-sign up board.

"It'll be the best." Gryphon said now smiling at him. "We shall be the scarious of them all. Already know what you wanna wear?" She had sneaky suspicions about him wishing to dress up as a unicorn. Hah, she could practically see him dressed as one already.

[flowers]

A sly smile crept upon the boys lips as Gryphon's excitement became very apparent in her voice. Immeditaly, as the girl had quietly predicted, Nort saw them (lol =] ) dressing up as unicorns together. He giggled to himself as he wondered what materials he could use to turn Gryphon into a unicorn.

Then giving her an over excited look, went to open his mouth then paused as he waited for her to answer. The excitement was now overwhelming Nort soon forgot about his dear warm bed and jarmmies. [/size]

[gryphon]

(Lol. I don't know where you find that stuff >< but it scares me a lil, haha.)

Gryphon raised an eyebrow at the smile curled on his lips. And the giggles that came next. Oh she knew what he was thinking. What evils he was planning, what things he could scavenge to create unicornish costumes. Personally Gryphon would have gone for a lobster costume rather than a unicorn one. Lobsters do have claws after all, and claws would look way cooler than a silly horn on ones head. ~.^

Hm, yes, cooler.

"Nort, before you starting thinking of the money you have to save up, to buy some needle and thread to create the horned horsie-costumes. I think I shall go as something a little different." Gryphon gave him an apologetic smile. This may dampen his hopes a little, maybe he'd even regret wanting to go with her and want to go with someone else. "I'm liking the idea of a rainbow," she said shyly thinking he may think it silly. "A rainbow and a unicorn would go pretty good together too." She teased prodding him in the arm now. Giggling as she thought about it more. Rainbow colours would come out lovely in her white blonde hair.

'Gryphon as a Rainbow'

That was an interesting thought for the middle ages Mihael to ponder about. He wasn’t sure but could not help but feel dishearten after her suggestion. “Or I could be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow... then if I were gold you could be a leprechaun…but if you’re a Leprechaun then maybe I should be a leaf…a four leaf clover to be exact…Ow ow then If I’m a four leaf clover then you can be a some…good...luck charmy…thingy! Yeah that would go well together.”

Getting his point across Nort sideways glanced his friend, “we can come up with something cooler I reckon…not so…yeah” and pouted his lips making puppy eyes at Grphon. [/size]

"A rainbow and a unicorn?" Aaliyah frowned as she made her way by the Mihael table. She was still in her pajamas, not caring if anyone else said anything about it. Her hair was messy, as if she had just woken up. In fact, she had just woken up. "You guys sound like the happy rainbow unicorn thingie," she said sitting down. "Are you talking about the Halloween Ball or just Nortimer's obsession with unicorns?"

That was the second time she had called him Nortimer. Liyah was not sure where that name came from but suddenly she was calling him that all the time. He did not seem to complain about it as far as she knew, but he could just be ignoring the nickname that happened to be longer than his actual name.

Aaliyah brushed the messy hair out of her face and grabbed herself a glass. "So, how are things, everyone?" she asked.

[gryphon]

All she could really do as he rambled on about the themes of which they could take, was slowly pouted. He was being over the top on purpose trying to get across that they didn't have to go as a theme together. Which wasn't exactly the point she was trying to get across. It was mainly she didn't want to go around the Halloween Ball looking like a unicorn when she could be a creepy zombie. Wasn't Hallowen meant to be scary?

"Welll, how about we go as whatever we want to go as and no themes. Just what ever then." Gryphon said offered. "If tackie themes make you feel un-cool then I'll happily go as something completely opposite." She smiled at him, it didn't matter really.

Gryphon looked to over to Aaliyah whom had joined them and smiled. Jarmies at Breakfast time at the Mihael table was a normal thing and she didn't blink oddly at the friend at all. Glad to have another person join them for breakfast. "Oh mornin. Honestly I think it's a bit of both." She said, unicorns were always some where in the conversation with Nort. Even if he was just drawing one while they talked about whatever. They were always there.

"Happy unicorn -rainbow thingie?" Gryphon asked unsure of what Aaliyah had meant. "Nope we're talking about what we're going to wear to the ball. Nort and I are going together and we we're...arguing discussing possibilities." A small shrug before she emptied her glass of juice.

"I'm feeling pretty good. Yourself?"

[grobanitexd]

"That gang thingie," Liyah tried to explain. But she did not know too much about it. "You know Avery Moretti?" she asked. "Mihael Quidditch Captain? Well, she's apart of some gang by that name." She shrugged and then learned the actual reason why they were discussing rainbows and unicorns.

"Oh," Aaliyah said quietly as she poured herself a glass of orange juice. She took a sip, not glancing at either of them. Then she began to grab herself a plate for eating and planned to just listen to their conversation as opposed to saying anything more. However, Gryphon posed another question and Liyah had to answer. She glanced up with half a smile.

"Tired, obviously," she muttered, gesturing toward her messy hair. "I just woke up, unwillingly. But other than that, good." She nodded and began to eat slowly from her plate. She suddenly felt even more tired.
