Jelly Fish[Open]

[grimvalentine]

Raven walked through the library, searching for nothing in particular. She scanned the books tittles waiting for something...anything to spark her interest.
Raven came to the end of the row of books and sighed. For some reason nothing interested her that day. Everything seemed so dull. A book caught her attention. An old green book. It's tittle was Jelly Fish.

[Brent Raven]

Finding his way to the Library for the first time. Brent Mihael First Year, slowly pushed the large wooden doors aside as she walked inside the dim lighted room. The large shelves of thousands of books, made Brent's head spin. Smiling he found that, the room was mostly, vacant. He wasn't much to let people know that he read. Only Symantha knew that he read. Shaking his black hair that had chosen one of the many places, that bugged him, right in his ear.
Feeling comfortable once more. He slowly began to skim the book titles, to find something of interest. Finding nothing in this row of books. Brent turned to go into the next section of books, only to run into a girl already there. Gasping as be backed up, afraid that he might have hurt her in someway, he spoke up. "Are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I?" he asked her.

[grimvalentine]

Raven looked up from her book. Standing a few inches in front of her a was a boy. Raven took a sharp intake of air almost immediately stepped back. Raven looked at the boy again and shifted uncomfortably. Raven for some reason always felt uncomfortable around guys. She stepped back a little more and smiled at the boy in front of her. "I'm alright...no harm done.." She said. trying to her break the little awkward silence she had created. Raven bit her lip hoping she hadn't just embarrassed herself in front of some random stranger.

[Brent Raven]

Relief filled Brent's chest as he relaxed. Hazel eyes took in the girls apprearance, she had bleached out blonde hair, and deep brown eyes. She had found herself holding a old tathered green book. Shaking his head, mildly to himself, Brent desided that he would, get to know, someone else new. It was another year, it was only nessasary that Brent meets new people. It seemed that the Mihael had mostly friends, with females. "Darn these charming good looks." he thought laughing to himself.

Desiding that enough dilly dolltle Brent spoke in his thick Italian accent. "Brent Raven. 1^st Year Mihael. I'm only going to assume that you have a name. But I have yet to hear it, so that has yet to be proven." Brent said, it was his little joke that he'd gotten from his cousin Illusion, it was a way to break the ice. "And if I might inquire, what book are you reading?" he asked with the upmost curriosity.

[grimvalentine]

Raven stared at the boy as he spoke. She smiled a little at his thick accent.

His eyes are so...amazing... she thought to herself.

She laughed a little at his small joke. She looked away.

"Raven, Raven Sterling is my name. 1st year Slytherin." She glanced down at the book in her hands. "It's...Jelly Fish...."

She laughed nervously embarrassed about her choice in reading. She avoided his dazzling hazel eyes and focused on the design on his shirt.

[Brent Raven]

"Nice to meet you Raven... Kindda funny how my last name is Raven.... You don't know how many times I've heard someone call out 'hey Raven' and I turn around and the caller was calling for a girl standing near me..." Brent said. "You have no idea, how many times that's happened to me..." he told her.

Hazel eyes looked away from Raven, stairing at the old book. "Jelly Fish? Bit daft of a name." he pointed out although Brent learned early on, not to judge a book by it's title, or he would have never came opon that book that changed his way of seeing things. "What is it about? I mean we can't pick at a book, just because it's title has something to do with a evil water creature, that tends to sting, causing injury or death." he said pausing.

[grimvalentine]

Raven looked a bit shocked by his statement. She quickly recovered from her shock and looked up at him into his hazel eyes. She swallowed hard, smiling. She felt a bit excited that he wanted to hear about the book she was interested in.

"..It's exactly what it says it's about. All about Jelly Fish. Their History. About how they're 'evil water creatures' who sting people causing their victim's death..." She turned away. "and...yeah that's it...I haven't really finished it...but if you want to read it.. I'll read it after you..."

She looked back into his amazing eyes, searching for his reaction.

[Brent Raven]

"Nope.. Bad Book JuJu... You found it first.. I'll read it next time around..." Brent told her. "Besides, as facinating as Jelly Fish are.. I think myself and them, have a disagreement. Because I get stung everytime I go to the beach... Thankfully it's not the ones that kill. Just hurt, really, really bad. It ended the excitement of the ocean really quickly." Brent said.

"So I'm going to guess, you like the book, because it's either different. Or your highly interested in animals of all shapes and forms. If so. You have to meet my cousin. She's a animal encyclopedia." Brent told Raven, as he waited for her reply.

[grimvalentine]

She laughed a little at his little beach story. She paused a moment thinking through her reply.

"Well...It's kind of both. different things usually catch my attention and interest me greatly. I am also interested in animals. Though I haven't really learned much about them. Just a few random things i pick up."

She smiled up at him.

"What about you? What are you interested in?" she said once again searching his eyes for the answer. For some reason she couldn't read him. She was usually good at that.

[Brent Raven]

Brent snorted a laugh. "Alot of things. My blood hobbie, is Guitaring.. Other things consist of swimming, some sports, like extreme yo-yo. Not Basketball or Baseball, they cause to much permient damage, if played wrong, the same with Football." Brent told her. "Maybe song writing, I'm trying to get my cousin, to sing vocals. But she won't have it. Then again, I have plenty of time to get her to." he said. "What about yourself?" he asked

"And that's cool, animals are cool. I have a pet owl named Adolia. She's abit evil. Once she tried to eat this kitten on the train. It was not fun. Expecially with the I think there was, 3-4 girls in there and myself and another guy." he said. "Do you have any pets?" Brent inquired.

[grimvalentine]

"My interests....pretty much anything weird...I do some writing and photography. Sports have never really been my thing." Raven replied.

She smiled to herself.

"That's cool that you like playing the Guitar. I wish i played an instrument. Unfortunately I do not own any pets at the moment." she continued.

[Brent Raven]

"It's cool. You'll find yourself one soon. I know quite abit of people who don't have pets, it's not like something you HAVE to have, just something that it's nice to have." Brent said to Raven. It was nice to have some companion that wouldn't judge you, and you had someone to just talk with, just you couldn't expect a reply of any sorts, or you better go take yourself to St. Mungos.

"It's nice to play, but it's to over played. Everyone plays now. It's no longer a art anymore. It's just something to make the guys look cool in front of the ladies." he said with a shrug. "I do it to play. Others may not feel the same."

[grimvalentine]

"Maybe I will get a pet..." Raven replied smiling.

She thought it was nice to have a new friend, who somewhat understood her.

"I see what you mean about the guitar not being an art anymore. At least some people actually do it for the playing."

[Brent Raven]

"there is a few.. I heard about a 6th year Hufflepuff named Rob, who's really good at playing. I have yet to meet him, if I'm lucky I'll meet him before he graduates." Brent said. "If you'd like to learn. I can teach you maybe, and then you can learn more from that, if you like to play..." he suggested with a shrug.

"If you get a pet. Owls and Cats are the best.. But try not to get a cat, that looks part tiger, but it's grey and white.. My cousin has a cat named Kitten.. She's the worlds most evilest cat in the world.. She likes to trip people, once she tripped me, off the steps, and I broke my arm and my nose..."

[grimvalentine]

"That would be really nice. Maybe I'll take up your offer."Raven replied.
She gave him a sympathetic look.
"Poor you. What an evil cat...Must of hurt a lot falling down stairs..."
She then smiled up at him.

[Brent Raven]

"Naw. I rubbed some dirt on it, and was man.. Up untill I tried to use the wrong arm to open the door, to get outside.. Then I screamed like a banshee. Keladry laughed her butt off, when I fell, she told me I could go to China and become a Chinese Acrobat.... But I politely refused.." Brent said with a wide white smile.

"And, the offer remains, untill you feel like it.. Just send an owl my way. And I can teach you, somewhere.. I dunno the school all that well."

[grimvalentine]

"I don't know the grounds a lot either." Raven replied. "I guess T'll be getting an owl then."

She laughed at his little story about his arm and trying to open the door. She glanced at the bookshelf next to her, hoping to find another book for later. She pulled one about Vampires off the shelf and put it next to the book on Jelly Fish. She turned back to Brent and smiled.

[Brent Raven]

"Vampires eh? I'm only guessing your interested in those as well..." Brent asked raising a eye brow as he looked at Raven behind his lashes. "There are a few here, that are Vampiric.. So if your interested in seeing one or two of them. You'll find them here." Brent said. He would never mention to anyone about himself being a werewolf, it brought to much attention to himself. He'll just go threw it like normal.

"Probably so.. I don't mind teaching. even though I'm terrible inept. I doubt I can make you a rockstar, quickly. So don't expect that to happen.. Myself I can play a few songs, plus the ones I've created myself, with the help of a few people back home.."

[grimvalentine]

"I LOVE Vampires and werewolves and anything like them."

Raven smiled and her eyes glittered. She'd always wanted to meet a vampire or werewolf. Ever since her mother gave her a book on them. They'd always been fascinated by them for some reason.

"I'd love to hear something you wrote, if your ever willing to share."

Raven loved music just as much as she loved Vampires and werewolves.

[Brent Raven]

"It's not like their something different.. I mean. They can't control who they are... Sometimes, it's involentary...." Brent told her. His own memmory reminded him of that night, of the high moon, it's shadowy figure giving him light as he escaped his family's backyard. The howl of, the creature that would change his world, ringing in his ears. Gasping Brent looked back at Raven. His hands we're sweaty, he wiped them on his dark pants.

"If you really wanted to hear some of my music.. I'll find you again, and haul the my guitar along... Their really, need some work.. But if you really wanted to. I'd be obliged.." Brent told Raven. "Now enough, about me.. Tell me some things about you?"
