Thursday Evenings - Charms Tutoring with Denys
09 October 2006 @ 06:26 am
Sometimes I wish that I did not have to study so much. There are some people who can always do well, without even trying. But I am not one of those people.
I've never really fit in in my dorm, but recently it has felt more pronounced--or maybe I just recognize it now. Sometimes I don't know why the Sorting Hat put me in Gryffindor...
Next weekend is a Hogsmeade weekend. Hopefully it will be nice.
I have been feeling very lonely lately. Which is stupid, because I've mostly been alone for most of my life.

I haven't gotten any more of those unusual poems since before winter hols. Perhaps whoever was sending them grew tired of it? It is probably just as well, since I never wholly understood them anyway.
Today, I had tea with Aislin and Daciana. The two of them are lovely company. I enjoy getting to spend time with them.
However, we also read a column of gossip, and...
It said that Cole and I are in love with each other, or something? I don't know why anyone would say such a thing. Cole is one of my oldest and dearest friends, and when we're playing chess, that's all we're doing!
Besides, I fancy a different boy. We haven't gotten to see each other much this week, but hopefully I'll get to see Denys over the weekend.

This morning, I was invited to a meeting with Corina Mayfield, and I was made a Prefect. Father will be so pleased. I intend to do the job to the best of my abilities. After all, I have been entrusted with important duties, and for once in my life I will fulfill those duties to the best of my ability.

I am looking forward to classes starting back up again. Not only am I caught up in all of my work, but I've managed to read ahead in all of them as well. Also, I started putting together an extra credit essay about my trip to Muggle London for Muggle Studies. Even if I don't actually get any credit for it, I think that it will be worthwhile.
My holidays were pretty good. I spent a week with Candace and her family. They are very nice people, much different from what I am used to. And to think they are purebloods too... How odd to think that some people live so differently.
The rest of hols, I spent with father, Quincey, Jaren, and Tilly. Mostly I kept to myself and read a lot. Except, I did go out to a couple of the parties. Thank goodness I have Cole--I don't know how I'd survive those things if he wasn't around to play chess with me.
For Christmas, I got some very nice presents. I think that Tilly might have helped pick some of them out. I got a new set of chessmen, some pretty combs for my hair, new dress robes, and some other stuff.
Really, though, I am glad to be back at school.
( Not actually charmed well at all, is it? )

I've been thinking for a while that I didn't like Elanor's pb that much. It bothered me that she was even older than I am, but supposed to be 15. So, I decided to do something about it.
Elanor's new pb is Lily Cole.
And that means that I need some Elanor icons, if anyone wants to help. I've got a few images of her uploaded to my photobucket here.
Or you can see the same images behind the cut.
( New Elanor! )
And there are plenty more on the internets!
Weeeee.

Hopefully in a few days, this will be able to be considered canon. Otherwise, it's me enjoying a little RP action with an old friend. If you don't like it, don't read it.
Elanor sat on one of the couches in front of the fire in the Gryffindor Common Room. The students were once again allowed to leave their common rooms, but Elanor found she'd been sticking around it a little more than usual. Even though she felt stir crazy, it felt safer here. A girl had died, one of her classmates, and now a Gryffindor housemate had been arrested for it. So the culprit was in Azkaban now, but it didn't make her feel a whole lot better.
She thought a little bit about her conversation with Denys the day before. He had told her that she shouldn't be ashamed of who, of what she was--a pureblood. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder if other people were judging her. Did they suspect her as being the same as her mother?
Her feet were tucked underneath her, as she curled up on the couch. When her limbs were all tucked away like this, she didn't look quite so tall. Not having much of an attention span at all, Elanor nevertheless pulled out a small book and opened it as if to read. Her eyes simply swept across the page, though, absorbing nothing. With a sigh, she set the book down and stared at the fire once more.

This list is FAR from complete. I know that for some of you I've talked about this stuff before, but as I've not been on my A.D.D. medication for a while, my memory is shit. If you think you ought to be on this list (or you just want to be on this list) please leave me a comment with your chars and how they know each other.
In particular, Elanor should know in some capacity FIFTH YEARS, as well as other Gryffindors, and probably quite a few children of Death Eaters. Also, you know... anyone she's threaded with and I've since forgotten.
Also, if you are already on the list but think that something is missing or should be elaborated on, feel free to drop a comment as well. Thank you.

Elanor walked down the hallway, her head full of thoughts about the recent events at the school. She could hardly believe that an attack had actually taken place within Hogwarts. There were rumors everywhere, and she didn't know what to think of things. A student was dead--Kiriaki, a girl from her own year--and it wasn't like how Tristan had died either. He died from illness, but this girl had been killed by someone.
She walked toward the library, classes had been cancelled, but Elanor thought she ought to study anyway. With the attack, it seemed more urgent that she know how to defend herself.
As she walked, she made a list of things in her mind that she should do:
She wanted to get some flowers, somehow, for Candace. Also, some chocolate from the stash she'd bought that weekend....

Tonight Denys asked me if I'd like to go to Hogsmeade with him. This is the first time a boy has ever asked me to Hogsmeade. Also, this weekend there is a party in the Slytherin common room. Aislin and Denys requested my company there, and I am looking forward to it.
I have started receiving those odd poems again. The handwriting is the same on them, and I wish I knew who it was sending them.

My mind has been so confused recently.
I've been devestated since learning of Tristan's death. There was so much I was meaning to tell him when I returned to school, and now that has been cut off from me forever. I wronged him, I know I did, but I did care for him so much... and now he'll never be able to know that. Now I keep waking up from dreams, horrible nightmares, in cold sweats. It's like every night, I see Tristan there in my dreams... but it always ends painfully. It's always like a wound being ripped open afresh. When something like this happens, I wonder, does it haunt you for the rest of your life?
Never again.
I should have listened when there were those who were trying to teach me. I should have heeded the advice of my elders, with far more wisdom than myself. But I didn't understand that the consequences could be something like this. Loyalty is the most valuable thing in this universe, and if you happen to find it you should hold on and treasure it.
The confusion is compounded by the person who has recently walked into my life. I met this 6th year Slytherin named Denys this weekend. I felt so at ease with him, and while I was with him, the thoughts of Tristan abated a bit. Instead of the pain and ache that I feel, there was something pleasant. He's started tutoring me in Charms, and I look forward to our meetings for more than reasons of academic improvement.
But how can I be having these kinds of thoughts. It's not right. It feels like a betrayal of Tristan. And last night, I had a dream with Denys in it... but then, he turned into Tristan and got very angry with me. It was so strange, but it can't be a good sign. I wish I took Divination so maybe I'd understand.
[was supposed to be privacy-charmed. but Elanor's charm failed.]

Once upon a time, there were two girls who liked to role-play. They happened to join the same community, and one day their characters met. Despite living in totally different time zones, they managed to play together often and progress much plot with their characters. Sometimes it was difficult, because they would not be online at the same times for days on end. Despite all the obstacles, though, the two quickly fell in love.
One started waking up earlier, the other staying up later just so that the two of them could have more time to chat. Sometimes one or the other would live on a schedule for the other's time zone. They talked often and at length, and dreamed many big dreams. Soon, it became apparent to others how much they loved each other.
The day came, though, when one of the girls decided to leave the game because she was unhappy with certain aspects of it. It was a painful time, but by now the love they shared was too great to be broken by something so trivial as leaving a game. Still, it was a trying period. They still chatted, but some of the magic was gone. Even when they ended up playing in a new game together, nothing could replace the happiness that was associated with the place where they first met.
After several months, situations changed, and both girls decided that they could return to the original game. It filled their hearts with great joy. Once more, they eagerly logged onto AIM to plot and squee. They sent each other silly emails to share joy during the times when the other was sleeping or at class. Althouh it was amazing to have a love so great that it bridged continents, sometimes the two longed for a relationship where they could actually spend time together that wasn't mediated by the internet.
Then, the happy day came when they found their dream castle in the UK. The two girls had been searching for many months, but it was difficult to find one that wasn't haunted. Yet, eventually they did--and it hadn't any bugs either. At night they would make tea, and then cuddle on the couch and watch Stargate. Sometimes they would make pudding. When they had friends over, everyone marvelled at what a happy couple the two were. They still role-played together, smiling and laughing about their characters. Everything was just wonderful.
And Ling and Destiny lived happily ever after. The End.

Normally I enjoy Fridays well enough. It's the last day of classes for the week, and you get to look forward to the weekend. However, after class today, I felt a bit ill, so I spent most of the evening in my dormitory resting and reading. Now that it's late, I'm feeling a bit better. I'm hoping that tomorrow I'll be able to go out on my broom for a bit. It's been so long since I got to fly, and I miss the feeling of wind in my hair.
Otherwise I don't have any plans for the weekend. Obviously, I have to study a bit. Also, it's Danny's birthday tomorrow, and I ought to find him for a bit. If he'd eat it, I'd make him some cake, but I think I'll just bring him some high quality tea instead.
Also, I've been hearing whispers that there's some sort of party in the works for Sunday. I'm rotten at the whole party thing, but it might be interesting. We'll see what comes of that.

Today was a relatively uneventful day, which is always a welcome thing. Went looking for Achilles in the owlery this morning, but instead of finding him, this girl ran into me. What is it lately with me getting run into? Anyway, she was a Hufflepuff, actually, now that I think about it, I think she's the Quidditch captain for Hufflepuff, named Charlie. Seemed nice enough, although I'm still rubbish at talking to new people.
Spent part of the afternoon in the library with Danny. I am so glad that he is back at school. It would be so much lonelier without him around... Even though I have Candace and my other Gryffindors, there are some ways in which no one will ever be able to understand me in the ways that Danny does. Aside from tackling that mountain of schoolwork that won't go away, the two of us had a nice talk. We've decided that we ought to marry each other, since the other option is leaving our parents to choose for us--better off going with a best mate, than with a man three times your age. I'm sure that someone will get on me about how I can make my own decisions and how I don't have to marry anyone I don't want to, but I'm not sure that they really understand... they can't understand. As much as I'd like to one day marry for love, I know that it's not part of my future. First of all, I can't imagine that I'll ever actually find such love and secondly, my family would never allow for it.
Achilles seems to be back to normal, which means I ought to be returning him to the care of his real master, Tristan. Of course, that means I'll actually have to find the Slytherin... Or just wait until I happen to see him again.
