Open! :3

Another day, another dollar. At lest, that is what people seem to be telling Ranka how a days.

Getting nothing but ignorant glaces as she passed, Ranka Molohov, the recently promoted second year made her way through the halls. She wasn't exactly sure where she was going, or how long it would take her to get there. All she knew is that she was going somewhere. And nothing was going to hold her back either. Boredom has taken over the Ravenclaw common room, and with determination in her face, Ranka was ready to hit the outside world, because being inside just wasn't making it for her today.

She was in nothing less then her usual outfit - A pair of jeans that met her purple converse. It was a bit cold out today, so Ranka had on a white flannel with black skulls all over, and a black jacket that reached down to her knees. Just to make sure she was extra toasty, Ranka had her Ravenclaw Scarf wrapped around her neck. Her hair was down, that was something that never seemed to change. blond as it was, the young Russian allowed her bright brown ors to follow along the halls as she finally reached the outside world of Trios Hogwarts.

When she did reach the outside, Ranka had a hard time deciding where to go. She gave a pondering thought, her eyes scanning from one area of the grounds to the next. All the colors around her where just too gorgeous to put words too. And the sun shined brightly upon them. Ah yes, fall was definitely here. Ranka could feel it in the air. It was a nice change from Russia, she noted. By this time up there, it would have already snowed a few feet. She grinned, a break from all that cold weather was just what she seemed to need.

finally deciding to head to a place she had yet to go, Ranka allowed her converse to direct her over to Rose Pedal lane. Sure, it was suppose to be for loves and all that jazz, but Ranka wanted to see all the autumn colors in one setting. It's a shame she didn't have a Camera or something - this would have been perfect. Her foot passing by the line that separated Lane from School, Ranka entered the path, her eyes amazed at what they saw.

It left her S p e a c h l e s s.

[Tiffany Sparxx]

There was the sound of faint footsteps, as a girl made her way down the Rose Petal Lane. Very slowly. She was dressed in her favorite Skelanimal hoodie, with panda ears. Super kawaii. She was wearing her old pair of jeans, held up by her black and white skullhead belt. In her hand,was her wand. The girl decided that it was too boring in the castle. Either that, or everyone was juist so damn obnoxiuos that day. She had been narrowly hit in the head by flying things all day; the library and their flying books,first year and their wingardium leviosa,and just random things being thrown. Tiffany felt that if she didn't get out of the castle now, she would end up killing someone.

Sitting down on a bench, under a tall tree, she heaved a big sigh. It was the second day of being at Hogwarts, and she was already homesick. Tiffany shrugged. And yet Hogwarts was much better than home. The kids weren't hardly annoying as the ones back at home were, and the work load wasn't as much. Tiffany smirked. How would she know? She hadn't even been to classes yet. For all she knew, there would probably be tons and tons of homework and books to lug back to the dorm each night. The thought made Tiffany groan. However,work was the least of her conflicts. Friends. Back at home, Tiffany had none. Here,she actually wanted that to be different. Tiffany had decided this before she came. It may not have been as easy as she thought. Tiffany was the quiet type, and usually very independent. She wasn't good a small talk, or any kind of talk for that matter. She usually found herself observing the new firsties and how they communicated to one another. It sort of made her feel like an alien,watching another planet. >.< The thought made Tiff frown. She was no alien! She was perfectly normal. Well, in her own way.

Tiffany sighed and twirled her wand in her long,pale fingers. There was a small tap,tap,tap sound and her head jerked up. She could see a girl coming from about almost a half mile away. Tiffany tilted her head to the side. She didn't look like a first year, but neither did Tiffany.Tiffany was so short, if it wasn't for her physical traits, she would probably look like a twelve-year old. Tiffany shifted her head toward the ground and caught sight of something blue and black dangling over her leg. Her coontail. Tiffany had almost forgotten that she had had them. Tiffany lifted it up and examined it for a moment,then tossed it over her shoulder.

When she looked up again, the girl was closer now. Almost within earshot. Should she talk to her? Could she talk to her? Tiffany frowned,trying to remember her little observation moments. She figured that if the girl wanted to talk to Tiffany,then she would. Tiffany scratched her head and gave the girl a small smile as she passed by. Almost as soon as she did so, Tiffany felt like an idiot. That was effective! She told herself. The girl probably hadn't even seen her,aside the fact that she was so short.

Ranka wasn't the kind of person that particularly liked company anymore. Does that sound strange? Well, it definitely should. Ever Since Ranka had gotten here at Trios, she has only met a select few people. And those select few people went 'poof' when the term ended. She wondered if they got abducted, or if they flunked out. Either way, Ranka needed to get new friends, but the fact that the people she sees tend to annoy her a bit [ which folks, isn't hard to do ] she found herself being alone for a while. That, and Ranka would much rather be watching people then actually interacting with them.

that's the way this young Russian had been ever since she was younger. Never interacted, just watched. she had a few good friends, but not many. she planned on being a psychiatrist or something when she got older. Ranka watches people, the way they act with others, their motions and the way they move, facial expression. Her mind is always working overtime when she meets a person for the first time, it gives her a good read on what they are like. Normally, she can get your personality right on the head from one simple conversation,

Heaving a sigh, Ranka pushed a stray piece of blond hair from her eyes, Ranka allowed those bright brown orbs of hers to travel along the ground and to all the colors that where around her. It was beautiful to say the least. She wished she could just stay there all day, but there where curfews and blah blah blah...way to ruin all the fun. She smiled a bit, seeing a few red flowers lining the lane. Looking ahead, Ranka noticed someone sitting on the bench. From the way they where sitting and their body structure she could see it was a girl. Arching her eyebrow, Ranka bit her lip ring [ the right of her snake bite ] out of nervous habit. She wondered who it was.

Walking down the lane in attempts to meet the strange person, Ranka got closer and closer and was able to make out the features of the girl. She was pretty, at least Ranka thought so. As Ranka started to pass she got a small smile from her, and Ranka gave one back. She must be the shy type, independent, like Ranka. But as she passed she stopped, blinking. She tilted her head to the side for a moment. She spotted Panda ears. she reached her hand out and grabbed one, giving a small smirk. "Ello. I'm Ranka" she told her.

A bit of an odd greeting. But that was Ranka for you.

[[ Haha. I wasn't sure if the panda ears where on the hood and it was up, so I just went with it. x} ]]

[Tiffany Sparxx]

Yes. The Rose Petal Lane was tres,tres beau but Tiffany didn't even believe in curfews. Fight The Power! she always said. And that's exactly what she did. The lil Rebel. Tiffany never did like to go by rules.Laws,maybe, but not rules. She thought that they were just silly. She would go by important rules , like no throwing things. -_- Throwing things led to eyes being poked and jabbed out. But curfews were pointless. Tiffany knew that kids probably stayed out later than they should anyway. In fact, she knew that she would probably do it at her stay at Hogwarts. Tiffany blinked. The forest had amazed her when her parents explained to her about it. It was off-limits, so she could only guess how ,many students snuck out at night just to go in. Tiffany found herself wondering if any returned...

She swung her legs back and forth on the bench and kept her gaze on the ground,letting her long bangs fall into her face. Tiffany's eyes scanned the ground and the train of roses across the lane. She wanted so badly to pick one, but then she would destroy the pretty scene, and she was too lazy didn't want to risk getting poked. Oh, how painful that may be. o-o Tiff peered up at the tree around her as a strong wind blew by,blowing her hair and the leaves all over the place. Red,yellow,pink. There weren't many green. It was the main significant change of Fall. The best transition. Tiffany loved the colors of the leaves in fall and spring. She sighed and leaned back on the bench.

Tiffany peered up when the girl was standing just in front of her. She was a little taken aback when she reached out and touched one of her panda ears. Tiffany wanted so badly to jerk away and say,' My panda!,' but how childish was that? Instead, Tiffany bit her bottom lip and frowned at the girl,pulling away slightly,but only slightly. She wanted a friend, and wasn't trying to get the girl to run off or something. Did people usually go up to others and touch their Panda Ears? Maybe the girl was from a different place where that was normal at. The girl spoke and Tiffany could point out that she had an accent,probably proving her theory.

There was an awkward silence as Tiffany gathered her thoughts,trying to figure out what to say. Finally she said, "Hi. I'm Tiffany," in her quiet little voice. Ranka. That was an odd name. Tiffany. That was common. Too common. A lot of people she knew were named Tiffany. That's why she sometimes referred to herself as Tiffy,Tiff,Tiffay, and on those good days-Sparxx. If there was ever anyone to refer herself to... Tiffany threw a glance at the hand that had touched her panda ear and glared at it,daring it to touch it again. She might just jump up and karate chop it off. The thought made Tiffany laugh unintentionally. She coughed to play it off and waited for the girl to say something. The girl was probably a much better speaker than Tiffany anyway. Anything Tiffany may have said, might have gotten her a funny look or something.



[[ :] They're on the hood, and the hood's not on her head]]

Ranka didn't have very good social skills. And by the reaction of her touching the panda ears, this girl could tell. She marveled at them for a moment before grinning, and letting her pale hand fall right back down to her side where he was to begin with. She liked that sweatshirt, she might have to go find one somewhere...or just take it from this girl. No, that wouldn't be right. Ranka did have a sweatshirt sort of like that...but not panda ears. Still, she liked hers better to be honest. Kitty ears - they make her go squee.

Thinking about the action she had just taken, Ranka figured she probably just freaked out this poor girl. She looked to be around the same age as Ranka, maybe not. but by the way she moved when Ranka touched her ears gave her a few impressions. For one, she didn't want her touching the ears - thats understandable. And two, she wanted to take her hand off, by the way she was glaring thats the only thing Ranka could pick up. She only hoped that the girl didn't think of Ranka as being some strange girl form Lala land that went around touching people's ears. Like she had some strange Ear Fetish. Ick. Only a complete freak would have that. Ranka isn't that odd....at lest she hoped not.

Ranka grinned a bit. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable" she told her, the thick Russian accent of hers ringing. "I just like the ears. I have one like it..except it has cat ears" she told her with a cheesy grin. So much for not being very sociable with people, Ranka. Wanting to be alone and independent is all fine and dandy, but when she actually wants to meet a person Ranka can be the most interesting personalities you'll ever meet. A bit childish at times, but interesting. "Tiffany? Nice to meet you" she told her, looking around.

There was an awkward silence. And it wasn't one of those good awkward silences where you can make a loud noise just to be obnoxious and make a laugh. It was one that Ranka was not prepared for, so it caught her off guard. She stared at Tiffany for a moment before speaking. "Want to go for a walk? It's kind of boring just standing here staring at you...no offense or anything" she said, tilting her head to the side a bit.

[Tiffany Sparxx]

Tiffany gave the girl a suspicious look. She could tell by the way that she was watching her hoodie, that she liked it a lot. Hmm. Maybe too much. Tiffany might just have to hide it tonight. She was sure that somewhere in the rules there was something that spoke about no stealing, but the students at Hogwarts probably didn't abide by those rules either. Tiffany knew that she surely wouldn't. She bit her bottom lip at the thought. Her father told her to behave before she left, so if she did anything bad, she would certainly have to lay low. Tiff that Sneaky lil Devil. Tiffany stopped swinging her legs and returned her gaze up to the girls face.

Tiffany shrugged." Happens..." But not to her. And what did she mean happens? When has someone ever come up to her and touched her panda ears? However,Tiffany was actually kind of glad that the girl had even acknowledged her. Most might have either walked away, or jumped her for it. Being a vampire, Tiffany could easily defend herself, but there were rules against that too. Tiffany frowned. Way too many rules."I wasn't uncomfortable. This hoodie is just..."Tiffany searched for the right word."Special?" She didn't mean for it to come out like a question, but oh well-it did. Tiffany fiddled with the ends of her coontails and winced when she accidentally tugged to hard.That would definately give her a headache.Ranka explained about her having a Skelanimal hoodie, but it had cat ears. Tiffany grinned. Hehe. Cat ears. There were a lot of skelanimal hoodie's. Tiffany just happened to have grabbed the very last one the had,and it happened to be panda ears. " I wanetd bunny ears on mine, but....this was all they had." It was almost as if she had sounded sad when she said it.

Tiffany nodded and murmured," You too." She noticed Ranka looking around. Tiffany tilted her head to the side. Was she looking for someone? Ooh! Maybe she was a criminal who had escaped from Azkaban and was looking for the Dementors or something. Tiffany blinked. What kind of a thought was that?! she asked herself. Perhaps the girl as just meeting someone at the Rose Petal Lane.

Tiffany smiled, and resisted a laugh when the girl spoke. She stood and stretched."Yea..." Tiffany said in agreement. She was starting to get bored just sitting there. And her legs were starting to fall asleep. Tiffany brushed her coontails behind her shoulder and shook her bangs out of her eyes. Pointless. They just fell back in them again. Tiffany smirked. "Where are you from?" She asked the girl randomly. Tiffany was kind of curious of her accent. It sounded Russian, but what did Tiffany know? She only spoke english,french and japanese-three completely different languages.
