Kira Yukimura: A transfer student from Salem Witches Institute, coming into her 5th year. Gryffindor.

The Siren & the Sailor || Kira & Benny

To get asked to the ball had been surprisingly, especially considering it was Benny. She hadn't known him prior to the explosion, but she wasn't about to turn him away. He was nice, cute, a gentleman. She could deal with that.

Kira straightened out the bottom portion of the costume. She'd thought of making a real fin but realized how difficult that would've been, so rather, it was but in pieces and flowed, giving at least the illusion of movement.

The shell bra was a little strange, but her mid-drift was hidden by a thin piece of fabric with rhinestones up the center. She had rhinestones at her eyes, making an intricate design, and had carefully placed shell barrettes in her hair that she'd managed to make, and transfigured her ears more fin like. It wasn't anything like the mermaids she'd seen, but it'd do.

Heading to the ball, she nervously fidgeted with her fingers. It was her first ball here, and she hoped it'd go well.

Fishing the Siren out of the Sea || Open

To say Kira was surprised was an understatement. She was planning on just going to the dance, maybe dance, then head in early. To get asked to the dance in question, well. Again, surprised, and she had make a costume to match Benny's perfectly. So what was something to go along with a sea captain.

Why not a creature of the sea, a mermaid in fact.

Kira had transfigured the basic shape but she couldn't quite create the perfect scales that she wanted, so she decided to make a bit of a trip. There were some sparse fish, interesting stones and such in the hogwarts lake, and apparently, mermaids. Maybe she could take a peak and get some help or inspiration.

She lingered on the lake's edge, squatting down, staring in, looking, waiting, for something. A good thirty minutes passed before she sighed, standing. Maybe this was pointless. She could go to the library, check out books for information.

As she turned to leave a splash sounded just behind her and she turned to see a webbed hand shoot from the water and snag her around the ankle. She barely had time to scream before she was pulled over, falling hard on her side before starting to be dragged in. She struggled, clawing at the grass and dirt she'd landed on.

"H-Help! Help!" She shouted.

[captainbrotherbenny-deactivated]

To: Kira Y.

P.s  Also if you do answer yes, I will be dressing up as a Sea Captain, incase you wanted to have matching theme costumes.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Oh, wow! It really wasn't any trouble, anyone would've done it, or should've, y'know, if they were decent or whatever, but I guess what do I know, oh i'm rambling maybe I should uhm don't mind the scribble. 

Anyway.

Yes, i'd love to go to the halloween ball with you. It should be fun! I can't wait!

Kira

P.s. I will totally whip something up to match, hopefully i'll be as cool as my sea captain.

You Can'T(otally) Sit With Us|| Kira & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

The Salem Institute, there was a place with a history. Lucifer had never met anyone from that school before. There were plenty of Americans at Hogwarts, but the vast majority of them started their magical education here. “Of course you can ask,” he said with a charming smile, “I’m a 7th year. On my way out, you could say. You look like a…” Lucifer put his hand on his chin, one hand thoughtfully over his lips. “I want to say a fifth year.”

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira went a little wide eyed, surprised. "Oh, you're right," she smiled, leaning a bit towards him. Seventh year. Certainly more trained then her, skilled, and for some reason talking to her? She still found that completely odd. "That's really cool, you're almost out of here, getting out in the world and stuff." Maybe she was being annoying, being so enthused, but she couldn't help it. "What are you planning on doing when you leave?" She asked.

Bamboo Blades of Glory || Kira & Martin

[mybroomnow]

"Nice to meet you," the words were said mostly out of reflex. This had to be one of the strangest introductions he’d ever had. Certainly not the most awkward, but definitely one of the least expected. Martin looked at Kira, and then past her towards where she’d been practicing before. "So you were, um, fighting a tree?" The tree had been moving he’d seen, which was a pretty impressive bit of transfiguration. Martin was in his sixth year and he couldn’t do something like that. The Hufflepuff couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira glanced back at the tree. "Uhm, yes?" She offered with a confused expression and a tilt of her head. Maybe doing such things weren't all that common here at hogwarts. She'd gotten looks sometimes when she managed to will things into happening, wand or no, but she thought that was just a part of magic. "It's easier to properly train with a moving target, but I don't actually want to hurt anyone, not that anyone's trained enough to fight me, but," she shrugged, offering the other a smile.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Bamboo Blades of Glory || Kira & Martin

[mybroomnow]

Martin had no idea how to deal with suddenly being assaulted with a hug. Should he hug back? He didn’t even know her, didn’t even know her name. But she was hugging him, so maybe…?

By the time he’d thought all that, the Gryffindor was pulling away and looking at him. Martin’s cheeks were flushed, he could feel it. Blushing didn’t work well when one was hoping to look authoritative, so Martin cleared his through and tried to calm himself. “E-erm, good. See that I don’t. Um, I’m M-Martin, by the way.”

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira couldn't help but smile a little at the flush over the others face. It was kinda endearing. In a way, especially since he'd been telling her off just a few minutes before. "Oh, right, introductions would be nice," she laughed.

"It's nice to meet you Martin, and thanks for not telling on me. I'm Kira. Kira Yukimura." She didn't know if she should offer a hand for a shake, considering she'd just hugged him and all.

[ablastoffoxfire]

hope this is okay for assignment 3....I dunno i've always just had a weird connection with them...

All Work & No Play || Kira & Lydia

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira jumped slightly, unaware of everything about her till a whole lot of books went crashing to the floor. Her eyes widened, not reacting for a split second before finally standing, moving to crouch in front of the other, starting to pluck up books as well.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" She asked, putting a book into her slow growing pile as her eyes fixed on the other girl. As she spoke her eyes flicked to some of the texts she was collecting, a good lot, the other girl’s she assumed, were far beyond her in years."Whoa, I didn’t even know people would be taking this stuff here?"

[lydia-the-slytherin-princess-de]

"I’m fine, I’m fine." Lydia’s face turned a bright shade of red, matching her strawberry-blonde hair. Taking the books swiftly out of the dark-haired girl’s hands, she straightened up in her heels, replacing the girl’s things on the table. 

"Yeah, just bringing them to my friend. She’s an ill nerd in need of some books," she explained quickly, her eyes avoiding any concerned glances from the other students. The collusion had drawn a lot of attention, and not the good kind that she was used to.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira jumped slightly as the books were snatched up rather hastily. She stood up as the other girl placed her things on the table. Kira tilted her head slightly at the comment, brows knitting together. "Oh. Right." Ill nerd? She hadn't necessarily asked who the books were for. Though she assumed them the girls?

"Well, that's uhm, nice of you." Thinking perhaps rather then standing awkwardly and having a good few eyes on them she cleared her throat. "I'm Kira by the way? You sort of have a lot of books, do you need help or anything?" She asked.

[ablastoffoxfire]

You Can'T(otally) Sit With Us|| Kira & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

Lucifer smiled winningly at the girl, his charm at full blast. “Lucifer Novak, nice to meet you,” he leaned forwards and placed his elbows on the table. The blonde liked making good impressions on people, considering the rumors that went around the school about him. Rumors most likely started by his roommates or family members. Luckily most people didn’t believe them. “So where are you from, Kira? New to the UK, or else you would have been here before.”

[ablastoffoxfire]

Lucifer. An interesting name, and she felt it fit for a pretty interesting guy. "Oh, uhm, America, New York, I used to go to the school in Salem though," she shrugged a bit and laughed. "This place is certainly different, in more then one way. Uhm, what year are you? If I can ask?" She tilted her head slightly, giving him a smile.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Bamboo Blades of Glory || Kira & Martin

[mybroomnow]

The more she pleaded, the more he was swayed. Martin still believed her reasoning was absolutely insane. Why would you even need a sword when you have a wand? Wands could do so many more things after all. He looked down at their hands and at the girl’s sad face and felt himself crumbling a bit. “Well- I mean, if you just practice with a wooden one that should be fine…” the Hufflepuff bit his lip and finally said, “Alright. I won’t tell - but if I ever see you using a real sword again I definitely will.”

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira grinned brightly and instantly brought her arms around the other into a hug. "Oh thank you thank you thank you. You wont ever see it again, I promise!" She stated adamantly, pulling back somewhat to at least look the other in the face.

[lydia-the-slytherin-princess-de]

Lydia wandered silently into the library, her advanced textbooks cradled in her arms carefully, so no one could read the titles. Usually, not too many people who’d recognize her hung around at this time so she was free to actually study.

Unfortunately, the library had infamous carpets, which her heels always enjoyed getting stuck in. As she tripped, Lydia managed to catch herself on the nearby table with whatever dignity she had left. However, the dark haired girl’s stuff went crashing to the floor, along with her own precious textbooks.

"Crap," she muttered, crouching down carefully to snatch up the fallen items.

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira jumped slightly, unaware of everything about her till a whole lot of books went crashing to the floor. Her eyes widened, not reacting for a split second before finally standing, moving to crouch in front of the other, starting to pluck up books as well.

"Oh my gosh, are you alright?" She asked, putting a book into her slow growing pile as her eyes fixed on the other girl. As she spoke her eyes flicked to some of the texts she was collecting, a good lot, the other girl's she assumed, were far beyond her in years."Whoa, I didn't even know people would be taking this stuff here?"

[ablastoffoxfire]

You Can'T(otally) Sit With Us|| Kira & Lucifer

[whitetrashwizard]

Lucifer had a particular gift for sniffing out talent. Ever since he was little, he’d been able to tell when someone was special or more than they seemed. It worked to his great advantage most of the time, and Lucifer’s particular brand of spidey senses were tingling whenever he looked at the new addition to Gryffindor. There was just something about the girl that told Lucifer she could be very useful indeed, should she be swayed into his circle.

With a smile, the older boy slid into the open spot across from the girl in the Great Hall. “Eating by yourself?” he questioned, though the answer was obvious. “That’s no way to start off your first year here.”

[ablastoffoxfire]

Kira didn't immedietly lift her head as the seat in front of her was taken. There were pleanty of Gryffindors, and so one happened to choose the space across from her. No big deal, she told herself. Any thought to perhaps introduce herself was tossed out the window as the guy spoke first.

She started slightly, lifting her gaze from her food to him, taking in his smile. "O-Oh. Well, people usually aren't quick to flock to the new girl, what can you do," she gave a bit of a shrug before biting her lip and sitting up a little straighter. No point in not making a good impression while she could. "Uhm, i'm Kira, Kira Yukimura."

Bamboo Blades of Glory || Kira & Martin

[mybroomnow]

His moral compass was pointing unwaveringly back at the castle, telling him to report such a dangerous object in the hands of a student. But the girl’s face (and it was a rather pretty face too, he couldn’t help but notice.) was so pleading and desperate that Martin sort of felt bad. He shouldn’t; she brought a sword into a school full of children! Or maybe she’d transfigured one. Either way, it was a weapon! Even if she wasn’t endangering anyone yet… “Look,” he said, eyes crinkling slightly in sympathy, “I’m sorry. But why do you even need to practice anyway? What are the odds of every being attacked with a sword?”

[ablastoffoxfire]

"It's not being attacked with a sword, it's being able to defend myself with a sword. I don't exactly plan on getting into a sword fight with anyone. " Kira kept on looking pleading, even so much as slinging the sword-back in its sheath- over her shoulder and using her hands to take up Martin's. "Look I wont go swinging it around anymore, just please don't tell. I can just practice with the wooden one," even if she didn't want to. "Please?" She begged, frowning.

The Big Bad Assignment l Scott & Kira

[puppyeyedwolf]

Scott nodded in understanding. “Yeah, you’re right. I think that having a partner just keeps my mind focused ya know. I don’t have to worry that much on messing up, if I have someone there to tell me that I’m not actually doing something wrong.” He said with a small laugh.

He had messed up so many school assignments because he went back over stuff he had already done, and changing it everything because he would swear that it was all wrong.

He was interested as soon as she said New York. He had always wanted to go to New York, but before he had moved to London the furthest East he had ever gone had been New Orleans. New York was a city full of lights, and he had always wanted to go. This girl was so lucky to have lived there. “Yeah, but hey New York. That must have been pretty amazing.” he said.

Scott looked up at her with a wide eyed smile. Most people he had heard talk about werewolves always sounded disgusted or terrified, but the girl talked as if she could understand. “Yeah, most don’t even have a choice when they get bit. But most of them are normal people, well ya know except for the full moon, but that can’t really be helped ya know?” he said finishing with a shrug.

[ablastoffoxfire]

"Well luckily I'll be there to tell you no, you're doin' awesome," Kira grinned and gave a thumbs up before laughing a little herself. Back in Salem most girl's had been pretty self sufficient, so they hadn't needed a pat on the back or anything when it came to projects, most preferred to work alone really.  They were a whole other brand of student.

"Ah yeah, it was busy, I guess to say the least. I like it there though. It's sort of weird going from that to, well," she gestured vaguely around her. "Ancient castles, nothing but rolling hills and trees forever, my city folk brain still can't quite comprehend," he laughed again, lifting a hand to try and muffle it slightly.

She nodded along about the werewolf. "Yeah. It's sort of sad. There's all this stigma about werewolves, but it's not like they want it, or like it, as far as I know." Kira shook her head slightly, before sighing. "I wonder if they'd give it up on a dime if given the opportunity, or whatever," she muttered slightly.

[ablastoffoxfire]

All Work & No Play || Open

Kira had been doing her best to more or less speak to who she could and get herself involved in what she could. While sure she wasn’t suddenly flooded with friends she’d made a few, and she’d joined the quidditch team. Which granted was spur of the moment, but for someone who’d never played she had a knack for it she guessed.

Now however wasn’t the time for sports or being social.

Studying was at least simple. There wasn’t pressure to talk with anyone, or be among people. She could simply be on her own and focus. Kira sat at one of the desks of the library, book opened to her, a notebook littered with notes beside that.

It was blessingly quiet, a few people scattered about, but not a word passed between them. This she could easily do. So it’s exactly what she did, unaware of anyone or anything for the time being, eyes simply on the text.
