(_WHISPERS IN THE DARK_) // (_OPEN_)

[malachi]

Grunts and groans could be heard in the Mihael Boys Dormitory. It was midnight and Malachi couldn't sleep to save his life. Feeling tired and disoriented, he got up with a groan, throwing off his faded red blankets to reveal a boy in black and blood-stained boxer shorts and a white t-shirt. The red-streaked-haired boy got up and went to his wardrobe, putting on some black and white, skull-covered pajama bottoms and a black shirt that said "The Black Parade", a My Chemical Romance t-shirt. After getting his clothes on, he put his hands through his hair and just walked out in his black socks. If you haven't figured it out by now, he was a fan of black. But he was only wearing it until they came out with something darker.

Malachi yawned as he walked down the steps of the Mihael Common Room, making his way to Quality Quarters, a good place to hang out to see friends from a different house than you. But right now, all he cared about was being in front of the fireplace, that wasn't inhabited by the night owls that occupied the Mihael Common Room every night. But finally, he got to the common room, sitting on the fairly-large couch in front of the stone fireplace. This was his favorite spot, because it was so warm and toast. For some reason, he was unnaturally cold. Sighing, he sank into the comfy couch.

Deciding he needed something to do, he got out his maple and black walnut wand, whispering "Accio sketchbook", and "Accio pencils". Within seconds, he saw his sketchbook and art pencils flying towards him. Malachi put his hands in the air, catching both items in his palms and starting to draw a picture of a heart, that happened to have a dagger stuck through it. Making a statement? Who knows...

Gerard heard movment in the common room and wandered down to look. As he entered he saw another boy walk out of the common room towards QQ. Gerard, enjoying acting like a spy, followed him and saw him levitate his sketch pad and pencils towards him. one dropped and the boy didn't appear to notice. Gerard picked it up and twirled it in his fingers. He stared over the boys shoulder and saw picture of a heart, that had a dagger stuck through it. As the boy completed the picture he leaned over and added shading to the left side of the heart and dagger, bringing it to a 3d look. Gerard finished the shading and jumped over the back of the couch the boy was in and put his hand out to be shook.

"Hi I'm Gerard Iero."

[malachi]

Smiling to himself, Malachi took a red pencil, making horizontal strokes of blood red color inside the bleeding heart. As he examined it, he found that it was two bright. He took a dark, crimson-colored pencil and darkened the outside, skillfully blending it with the blood red, making a perfect shade. He held the book up on his knee's, then seeing a pencil shade the outside, he quirked his head, then seeing the pencil fall back on the couch, someone then jumping over the back of the big couch.

"Oh hey.", he said, suprised. "Im Malachi Hawkins."

"Expelliarmus!" came a hushed whisper, piercing the darkness. Malachi's wand suddenly flew straight out of his hand, spinning through the air quickly. A hand stabbed out of the darkness and grabbed the black walnut wand. A first year Hufflepuff emerged from the darkness, grinning silently as she held out the wand in a teasing way.

She was dressed in plain jeans with a snug ice blue shirt, accenting her brilliant eyes. Her feet were suprisingly barefoot, and her wrists empty other than a single bracelet, the light from the fire catching the silver and playing it around the room. Her hair hung loosely in waves around her still smiling face.

She tossed the wand back to Malachi, and quickly took one of the chairs, stretching her leg over its side. "I'm Emma," she said.

[malachi]

Malachi was just talking to the other boy, when he heard a whisper, his dark wand being tossed out of his hand. He looked around and saw a long-haired brunette coming out of the shadows. From the looks, he figured she was a hufflepuff or a gryffindor. "Well, it seems tonight is pull-a-prank-on-malachi-night.", he smirked, taking back his wand.

[gerard1991]

Gerard smiled at the boy who called himself Malachi. "Cool name dude." he grinned.

As a girl appeared with Malachi's wand Gerard giggled. "Dude you are so gonna get it tonight."

He leaned back in the couch and hummed a song when a thought came to mind.

"Hey either of you guys got dates to the ball yet?" Gerard thought about his date, Ania. She was beautiful and Gerard admired her.

Emma rolled her eyes and then turned to Gerard. "Nope, no date. I don't know if I even wanna go, I have big feet when it comes to dancing." She sighed and leaned back. "What brings you two down here?"

[malachi]

"I dont have a date either, but I have an idea of who I might ask.", Malachi looked over at the boy with a smirk, his icy gaze then looking at Emma. "Big feet? They look pretty dainty to me.", he chuckled. "Dude, your a girl. You're supposed to love dancing. We're guys...", he grinn, his hand pointing back and forth from him to Gerard, then back to himself. "We're supposed to hate dancing."

[/size]

[gerard1991]

Gerard grinned and pointed towards his fellow Mihael.

"Now that i agree with hole-heartedly. In case you haven't noticed we are not made for dancing. Actually, I'm more for playing music than cancing to it. I dunno 'bout Malachi."

He mimed playing his guitar chords and looked up at Emma. Malachi was right. She would be able to dance so much better than the two guys she was hanging with at the minute.

"My sister can't dance. At the minute she won't even eat so I doubt she's getting anywhere with dancing. Dude, I'm sure my other sister can dance, and give you some lessons. You shouldn't miss out. I can ask her 'bout it if you like." Gerard said in his strong Jersey accent.

"So where you guys from? I'm from Newark, in New Jersey. Although I think we live in London now. I'm not sure."

[malachi]

Malachi chuckled at the boys comment, looking back at Emma, then at the other boy. HE was alot like him. "Hey, I can think of something else we're made for.", he grinned and winked, hoping Emma wouldn't hear his dirty joke. She'd probably slap him or something. He was really loosening up to other people and allowing himself to have fun. Since his father died, he hadn't been able to do that.

"America, Gee?", he chuckled. "Hope you dont mind. That's your new nickname.", he smirked, figuring someone already gave it to him, but oh well. If they didn't, yay for him, huh? As he thought about his home, many thoughts raced through his mind. Especially the moment his father packed for the order trip. He told his dad, dont go. Why the hell didn't he listen to Malachi? Then he wouldn't have to go, then he'd be there.

Deciding not to think about it, he looked back at Gerard. "Im from Godrics Hollow.", he smiled, being born and raised there. "But alot of my relatives are from america. That's why I dont have as much of an accent.", he said, thinking about his uncle and aunt, who lived in Manhattan. "I visit New York every summer."

[emmawinters]

Emma glanced at her small feet and then back up at the guys. "I'm okay at dancing, but I agree with you Gerard. I'm more into playing the music rather than dancing to it, although," she glanced at Malachi. "...you look like you could make a pretty good ballet dancer. What do ya' say Gee?"

"Hey, I can think of something else we're made for," Malachi grinned and winked. Emma glared and grabbed one of the pillows and hit him on the head with it, hard. "You watch your mouth pervert," she growled and then turned back to Gerard.

"I'm from Philadelphia, well not really but the town's around there. My mom and brother still live there, even though I'm going to school here."

[malachi]

Malachi laughed uncontrollably as the girl hit him hard. "Heyy! Oww, you messed my hair up.", he chuckled and put it back, his red streaks perfect again. His sleeve lifted to reveal a Jack Skelington tattoo on his forearm. He looked over at the other boy as Emma asked him a question. "Hey, the only thing close that I did, that could be ballet is gymnastics.", he smirked. "And that is far from ballet."

[/size]

[emmawinters]

Emma grinned and stretched her hand out, messing up his hair big time. "There you go peacock, happy birthday," she laughed.

[malachi]

"I'll get you back. Sleep with your eyes open.", he smirked and looked between the two, noticing Gerard was very, very quiet.

[/size]

[emmawinters]

"Oohh I'm scared!!" she said sarcastically. "Wait! You can't even get into the Hufflepuff common room, let alone the girl's room!!!" She hit him with the pillow again, laughing. "But me...let's see what I can do," she had a glint of mischief in her eye.

She leaned over to Gerard. "You're in his House right? Could you shave his head while he's sleeping for me?"

[gerard1991]

Gerard had been daydreaming slightly. But he heard the comment about shaving Malachi's head and grinned.

Shaking his head he replied," Sorry dude but no can do. If I shave his head then I can kiss my own hair goodbye. And I like my hair. Anyway, Malachi's hair suits him." He smiled and reached out to Emma, messing her hair up royaly.

"Kid, it was bound to happen. Whether it was me or mallachi that did it or someone else, it was gonna happen. Us dudes with long-ish hair gotta stick up for ourselves. And most people call me Gee anyway, like dad's friend. He's called Gerard too."

Gerard thought about his famous father and grinned.

[malachi]

"Well if you want something different, you can be GeeGee.", he chuckled and looked at the girls messed up hair. "HAH! I told you that you'd get payback.", he smirked.

[/size]

[emmawinters]

Emma playfully pushed Gerard off his chair and tidied her hair. She stuck her tongue out at Malachi. "Watch it skunk boy!"

[gerard1991]

Gerard grinned and pulled himself onto the seat again.

"Malachi, someone's beaten you to that one too. Try my 13-year-old sister when she was 3. And it stuck. Find something else."

Gerard pondered over telling these guys about his family. He decided to ask them about theirs first.

"Sooo... what's your families like?"

[emmawinters]

Emma got quiet but decided that she would have to say something now or later, and she decided to do it now. "My dad's dead. He died a few months ago. But other than that I have a fantastic mom and a little brother, Jake. We're all really close, I miss 'em."
