Give Me Victory or Give Me Death

Annabel Fowley; 17; Slytherin; Prefect; Beater

[magical-lockhart]

I've seem to have misplaced my shirt....

[magical-lockhart]

Your what? 

[annabelfowely]

Betrothed.

Father's finally gotten around to finding a suitable match.

[magical-lockhart]

I've seem to have misplaced my shirt....

[magical-lockhart]

Thalia. She’s quite impressive but if we kiss I can tell you if you’re better. .

And what about you? 

[annabelfowely]

There's only one problem with that: I don't want to kiss you.

No one here, that's for sure. And it's a good thing, since my betrothed probably wouldn't be too keen on that.

[magical-lockhart]

I've seem to have misplaced my shirt....

[magical-lockhart]

Have you kissed better? 

[annabelfowely]

Why, yes. Yes I have.

And how about you Lockhart? I know you enjoy when people kiss you. You have any interesting catches lately.

[magical-lockhart]

I've seem to have misplaced my shirt....

[magical-lockhart]

You have? 

Doubt it. 

[annabelfowely]

You would doubt it wouldn't you.

Sadly your doubting is useless. I have seen better.

[emmavanity-mmm]

Where have all my players gone?

[emmavanity-mmm]

Well if you need someone to take a bludger I can certainly offer you some chasers….  

[annabelfowely]

Well, I wouldn't oppose to some target practice.

[emmavanity-mmm]

Where have all my players gone?

[emmavanity-mmm]

*smiles* Annabel, this is why you’re quickly becoming my favorite. 

Are you even working on the newest move that I owled everyone? 

[annabelfowely]

*smirks* Well, I can't say I haven't been trying.

I've been trying. It's slightly hard without a partner but I think I've been doing well enough as I can. A one woman beating machine.

[magical-lockhart]

I've seem to have misplaced my shirt....

Just kidding. Dumbledore asked for it personally. 

[annabelfowely]

Of course he did...

*looks him up and down* 

Not bad. I've seen much better though.

[emmavanity-mmm]

Where have all my players gone?

I swear if Potter is getting more time with his team mates because my snot nose players are too busy to get out of bed or fucking everything that moves then I think I’ll need to find some replacements…

[annabelfowely]

Yes.. I have noticed some lovely faces missing from our practices... I just want to assure you that I have been spending ample time outside of practice practicing the moves you want me to perfect.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

It’s infuriating and half the time you want to tell them to grow up and start acting like proper people? Half of the time I swear they’re having temper tantrums…

Maybe, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for people who might join. It might be lonely but it’d certainly be better than some of the company we keep here.

[annabelfowely]

But when you do, it seems like they worsen and you finally just want to give up and lock yourself away where you don't have to deal with them. And that's because they typically are. We have a rather bad case of children who almost always get what they want. 

Well, I'll keep my eyes on the lookout, but I don't expect many more. Though this will be much better than most company . 

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

That’s good to hear. We’ll get along perfectly well then. Yes they do… And they certainly don’t act their physical age… Some of them need to grow up and actually understand the meaning of the word mature.

Then we’ll get along perfectly well. We should start our own clique - only logically sound people are allowed to join.

[annabelfowely]

I think we will. And they certainly don't. They behave like little children half the time and whiny adolescents the others. Even some of the ones the same year as us

.

Well I think it'll be a very lonely clique, containing you and me, and very few others.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

A logical desire. But I guess…

Really it means a lot to hear that from someone… I think you’re one of the first people not to call me boring or insult me in a form for my life decisions. I swear people should learn not to judge by appearance.

Likewise Annabel. Well I’m sure I can cope with cunning and ambitious either way… Though logically sound seems like an even better option. Really it’s great to know someone who understands the logic of life.

[annabelfowely]

Yes. And you're welcome.

Well, I don't think you're boring. You have a set end goal and you wish to get to it, just like I do. Nothing boring about that. It's just the people we go to school with have the mentality of children.

Well that's me the ambitious, cunning and logically sound Slytherin. And it's great to meet another person with great logic. It's a shame there isn't more of us.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

They can be useful but I just want a job I can earn a decent wage on that’s all that counts for me. Nothing else matters so long as I can earn an income to support my family… That’s it. Only logic I need is how to get the grades - easy enough answer is to study.

Well you’ve probably met the most determined Ravenclaw you’ll ever come across. So I guess the label’s right either way.

[annabelfowely]

An admirable desire. And admirable logic.

Well, it's nice to meet you Ryan, the most determined Ravenclaw. I would say you've just met the most ambitious or the most cunning Slytherin, but I don't think that would exactly be true. How about the most logically sound?

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Well if you want to get anywhere in life you need to get the things that’ll get you there… And if that’s not connections… Then it’s grades. Simple logic no?

Or the very determined. But I won’t argue with whatever label we have as a House.

[annabelfowely]

Exactly. Plus the lessons we're learning can be useful later in life, even if we can't figure it out now. Or well, others can't. But yes, simple logic that it seems like no one can understand.

Very determined is another one I would say. Just like Slytherin is ambitious and cunning. I don't think the labels count as much as what you as a person shows to be your trait.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Mm. Same as my sister and I it would seem.

The pleasure is mine. Ravenclaw would be my home.

[annabelfowely]

Good to know there are other people here with enough sense that they understand it's important.

Ah a Ravenclaw. House of the brilliant. 

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Probably the main reason. Yeah I don’t leave the dorms much either… Studying’s a pretty big thing I guess. Mm. Ryan Blackwell one of two Blackwells in this school. So which House are you lucky enough to be sorted in to then Annabel?

-Finishes the reps and gets to his feet grabbing his shirt from nearby-

[annabelfowely]

Studying is. Seeing as I'm taking as many classes as is logically possible, and I'd rather pass than fail in them,

Pleasure to meet you Ryan. Sorted in Slytherin, you?

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Will do… So might I ask who you are? Don’t think… I’ve seen you around though I guess I don’t see many people around.

[annabelfowely]

Well, that's quite normal, seeing as I haven't seen you around either.. Unless I'm doing perfect duties or playing Quidditch, I'm typically in my room studying. I'm Annabel Fowley.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Just seventy more . . . Then I'll stop.

[ryan-michael-james-blackwel-blog]

Because that would’ve left me doing two-hundred and thirty repetitions rather than two hundred. Which is uneven no? I mean make it… Fifty I can do that. But not just thirty extra.

[annabelfowely]

Well, then never mind. Continue on.

Can't have you doing an odd number of repetitions.
