OOC ~ I'm back!
Hey everyone~!
The title of this post says it all, but to say it once again; I'M BACK~!! I'll reply to my posts/messages tomorrow probably, first I'll unpack a little :p
Anyways, allthough this holiday was amazing, I'm glad to be back :)
OOC ~ Vacation leave
I'll be gone for a week, starting now, because I'm going on vacation and I'm not sure if I have access to internet where I'm going. I'll try to reply to my plots, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.
See you all next week :)
Care for a flying lesson? // Changmin & Sungmin
The semi-finals were fast approaching and Sungmin was spending all of his free time practicing for the match. In a weeks time he woukd be shipped of to Argentina with the rest of his team mates. And after hearing that the school would also be joining them he felt more pressured than he ever had before to win. This was his chance to impress his classmates and recruit more Ravenclaws to join the school team. But if he failed—humiliation in defeat. From the corner of his eye he noticed a student or two down below watching him. It happened from time to time but never failed to tickle his ego into show off-stupidity.
A grin swept his lips as he soared through the sky, hitting bludger after bludger. It was dangerous to have so many aiming for one man, but he had found that it was by far the best way to practice. He’d already suffered from a broken bone or two. Nothing the nurse couldn’t fix of course. One, two—The bat twirled in his hand, preparing to aim. Three—He hit the bludger as hard as he could sending it flying over the lake. A fair shot, but not his best. If he was paying attention at that moment, maybe he would have noticed the second bludger heading towards him. He felt the wind gush past and gasped as it brushed against a single hair on his head, missing him by a few inches. That was close.
With aching limbs he flew back down onto the pitch and wrestled the bludgers back into their box—pesky little fuckers they were, but leaving them out side would do more harm than good.
As Changmin sat comfortably on one of the benches on the bleachers – he had summoned some cushions from the Hufflepuff common room – he closely followed every move of the broomstick and its pilot. He awed as the bat hit the bludger very hard; he could hear the hit all the way where he was sitting! He awed again as he saw how far the flying ball was sent; he had never seen a beater hit that far (but then again, he didn’t really liked watching Quidditch matches so he never came when one was played at Hogwarts). His eyes followed the bludger all the way to the lake, almost making him miss the second ball as it was heading for the player pretty fast. He gasped when the bludger only narrowly missed the guy. Or was it a girl? He couldn’t really tell from this distance.
As the pilot had landed and the bludgers had been safely locked up, Changmin headed towards the field. “That second one was pretty close,” he commented as he was in earshot of the boy – he could see that now. “It looked so simple how you steered that broom up there. I wish I could fly like that,” he stated. What he wished mostly was that he wasn’t scared to death of flying. “With you, it looked like you were born on a broomstick,” he added, admiration slightly audible in his voice.
What have I done? // Changmin & Chanmi
It was one of those days where all bad things clobbered together in smothering balls of stress and insanity. Rolling and eventually augmenting into a globe of destruction and monstrosity. The perfect day for an afternoon stroll through the hazy thoughts of the days mishaps. Being caught exploring the wrong part of the castle at the wrong time, being squashed against the walls of hell, in silence but absolutely not tranquility. Rather, in tutoring silence. Further escorted by the foul play of another student, cereal fulling into the gaps of her attire with the completion of falling down the last few steps down the stairs - now this.
A shoulder brushed against hers, rather roughly but noticeably by accident. A heel stepped back reflectively to catch herself from the fall, brown strands whipping messily across her dark orbs but the smile still stuck on her features. A smile of insanity. A tired smile. A smile that would usually accompany the eye roll or perhaps a sarcastic comment. Chanmi peered through the veil of insanity and waved her hand in codes, fingers running through the strands, pulling the knots back.
"No no, it’s fine."
It was almost quite delusional for her to be reacting in such a way despite the rampaging thoughts that occupied her mind. A sigh was let loose as her eyes dropped to the bush, a hushed whisper followed.
"Stupid cat…"
As Changmin turned around, he saw a pretty girl with dark brown hair whose smile looked somehow forced, definitely not natural. It certainly didn’t look like it was fine in any way. So to make up for his mistake, Changmin rubbed the spot he had hit the girl to try and ease the pain a bit. He hoped she wasn’t too pissed off about him right now. As he had never seen this girl, he didn’t want his first impression to be one of annoyance, indifference and clumsiness.
“Do you also love nature? I find it very relaxing and therapeutic,” Changmin said, trying to make small talk, while he looked around him at the beautiful fauna. The reason of his bumping into a stranger, the bird, had flown far away already. Its attacker, the cat, had disappeared into the nearby woods, probably looking for another victim to serve as lunch.
After some moments, Changmin looked back at the girl. “Let me make it up to you. I can’t believe I didn’t notice someone was walking behind me,” he said with a small, apologetic smile on his face. How could he have missed the sound of her footsteps? Had he been that focused on the two little animals?
A bit like home || Changmin&JaeJoong
Jaejoong barely noticed anything around him. He probably barely noticed where he even was and that he was in the common room. Even though he was sitting quite a bit out of sight, he was in the common room. He should have gone hiding somewhere in the wood and stay there for a day. Maybe that would actually make him concerned about otherthings. Like a pack of wolfs running after him trying to get a little piece of him.
But he wasn’t. He was sitting in the common room that was by now basically empty. The fire in the fireplace moving a little bit, almost going out as if it was a sign that he should go to bed. But he knew he couldn’t sleep. He wouldn’t be able to sleep for a very long time. If he was able to sleep at all. Though he knew he should try, as there would be a few people worried about him if he walked around the hallways like a zombie. When he heard a voice in the room he looked up. Especially if the voice actually called his nickname. He couldn’t help but to smile a little bit. His little brother. Well not by blood, but he really was his little brother.
“Please help you eat all the food..? Min what the hell did you bring along?” he said and smiled a tiny little bit. Of course he wasn’t happy or wouldn’t forget what happened this exact date. But his little brother always managed to either distract him or cheer him up, even a tiny little bit. “They were so happy to see you they gave you that many things?” he asked with a chuckle before nudging Changmin. “I think they rather gave it to you to get you out of the kitchen faster. Before you would pillage their whole damn kitchen and destroy their hours of works,” he stated, teasing his brother a bit. He knew how big of a eating habit the other could have. But as long as he brought something for him as well, he wasn’t going to complain.
Shaking his head he took a piece of cake that Changmin had brought along as well, probably knowing he loved pies alongside a lot of other things. “So how much did you already eat? You aren’t going to explore right?”
As soon as Changmin heard his brother’s question, he proudly started displaying all the treats in front of them. When put all neatly next to each other it looked like a whole lot. Maybe there had been even more than 40 pieces. Had the elves each given him 3 or 4 pieces? He couldn’t remember anymore. “Well, as you can see, I brought all kind of treats. I have six or seven different pies, muffins in all flavours imaginable, some doughnuts, a few macaroons, cupcakes with all different kinds of toppings, fudge, some chocolate chip cookies – oh no, wait, I ate those all – and here are some chocolates,” Changmin explained excitedly, pointing at all the treats as he named them. His eyes shown with joy and anticipation. “One elf even gave me some every flavour beans!” he added enthusiastically as he gave the box to Jaejoong.
Changmin slapped the older boy on the shoulder when he heard him make the comment about why the elves gave him all this food. “That’s not nice! And it’s not true either,” he exclaimed, although the last bit was a bit less convincing. He remembered one of his first times in the kitchens. He had been so amazed by all the glory of the kitchen and all the food that was displayed that he couldn’t restrain himself and ran all around the massive room to take a bite out of all the food it contained. The elves weren’t very happy with him after that. But hey, who could blame him? All this food had just looked so incredibly delicious! Nobody could have resisted this temptation.
In the meantime, Changmin had finished his triple chocolate chip muffin with white chocolate frosting, so he grabbed the next delicacy; a small piece of apple pie. As he munched on this piece of heavenly delight, he counted all the treats he ate on the way from the kitchen to the Hufflepuff common room. After he had lost count several times, he just shook his shoulders and answered; “Ten? Fifteen maybe,” and took another bite. “And you know I won’t explode, I’ve had more to eat than these little snacks,” he commented as if this was common knowledge, after he had swallowed his bite. And he thought his brother knew him!
I bet your arm tastes lovely! // Shim Changmin & Cho Kyuhyun
Kyuhyun groaned very slightly as he was making his way towards the student that was in trouble. Why, just why did this one irritating student have to get into trouble? It was actually going very well until then. And that frustrated him quite a bit. That was maybe also why he wasn’t trying very hard to help the student with whatever it was that was his problem. The plants weren’t poisonous. They would only hurt the other a little bit, well maybe more than a little bit.
“Alright so explain to me then. Why it is a very good idea that you let your attention slide away from the plants even shortly? As the most important thing is to always pay attention and be careful. You should be happy this plant isn’t deadly,” he scolded the student during his walk. Finally arriving at the place that the students were seated, he first moved to stand behind them. Arms crossed and looking at them with a glare, like that was going to change the situation or something.
“Well I do think I can take it off of your arm, as I kind of am the Herbology professor so I know what we are dealing with here,” he said as if he was the most brilliant person around. Which he probably though he was as well. He took a hold on his wand, just in case something might actually happen, but he wasn’t using it yet. He first wanted to talk to the student a bit about responsibilities as they were important. On the other hand, that worked probably better with a little bit of pressure of the plant biting him. “They are not deadly, let’s state it like that,”
“I thought I had put them away far enough, so that they couldn’t do anything to hurt me or anyone else. But apparently not, because he could still bite my wrist,” he explained, but then his curiosity popped up: “Can these plants hop their pots closer to their targets? Because maybe that’s what this one did. Maybe that’s how this plant got a hold of my wrist,” Changmin asked as calm as possible. The shrub was still holding onto his wrist, which was quite unnerving, though he was relieved to hear the plants weren’t poisonous or lethal.
As Changmin listened to what professor Cho was saying, he couldn’t help but wonder why the professor was wasting so much time talking, while he could just as easily help Changmin get rid of this shrub. He knew he was wrong, but he could always lecture Changmin afterwards. But then he remembered what professor he was talking about. Cho Kyuhyun, whose reputation travelled ahead of him. No wonder this professor took his time helping him.
In the meantime, the plant had dug some small holes in Changmin’s dragon hide gloves. There was only a small layer of glove protecting his wrist from the plant’s fangs. If professor Cho wasn’t going to help him fast, the plant would get a taste of his flesh real soon.
What have I done? // Changmin & Chanmi
There were two ways to calm Changmin down. The first one was by talking to his brother. Sometimes, however, this resulted in an even more hyper Changmin, so that was not the best way of calming him down. The other way was if he went for a stroll through nature. The birds, trees, plants and flowers and all the smells and sounds really calmed him down. The last thing was what he was doing right now. He looked around him peacefully as he walked one of the paths around the Hogwarts grounds.
He saw a cat walk towards one of the bushes. It looked like it was sneaking up on some small, poor animal that didn’t know it would be lunch in a few seconds. Changmin stopped walking to have a closer look at this display of nature. After some very quiet moments, the cat jumped into the bush and some terrified tweets were heard from within.
Trying to have a better look at what was going on in there, Changmin walked a little closer and bend over the bush. At the exact same time, the bird escaped the cat and quickly flew away, almost hitting Changmin in the eye. The hufflepuffs first reaction was to take a few steps back to prevent the hit. He stumbled backwards, when suddenly he bumped into someone behind him. “Oh, I’m so sorry,” he apologised while turning around to check if the person was okay.
A bit like home || Changmin&JaeJoong
Jaejoong sighed tiredly as he rubbed his eyes. It was late, he knew he should actually go to sleep, but he also knew he couldn’t sleep, no matter how hard he tried. After rubbing his eyes he grabbed his hair and pulled softly on a few strands. Staring at the stars that he was able to see. It was late at night, though he had no idea how late. The stars were shining brightly at the sky. Normally he would find them absolutely beautiful, but he wasn’t in the mood, not even for stars. Maybe it was this specific date, maybe it was just his changing mood lately, but he wasn’t one to make the party lately. Well he never really been one to be the fun maker in the group. As he was only comfortable with a few people. But even for his standard he was beeing moody. “I bloody hate this day,” he groaned before he kicked the wall. Only cursing when it hurt his foot, not the wall, of course. He leaned against the wall and slid down against it. This day, this day specific was one he hated. It had been the day that his mother ran away and his live changed forever. Why he knew that, while he had probably been too young to remember? Well his father had made sure that he remembered, every, single day. And that it was his fault none the less. He groaned as he hit his cheeks lightly. Knowing exactly what his adopted parents would say if they knew he thought like this. Or any of his brothers and sister for that matter. They would probably kick his ass, make a playset out of him, use him as barie doll or what not. It had always made him laugh how adorable the little ones in the family were. And eventually one of the older ones that came to talk to him, make him feel better.
Changmin walked into the Hufflepuff common room, his arms full with food. He had just gone to the kitchens, like he did often. The house elves already thought of him as a regular and had some things prepared for him at all times. Right now he was happily chewing on one of his favourite muffins; a triple chocolate chip muffin with white chocolate frosting.
Tonight , however, hadn’t been just a regular visit to the kitchens. He knew exactly what day it was today. He was proud of himself, because he had kept track of the calendar for once. Even though he didn’t really have to, he just had to look at his older brother and he would already know. His brother’s mood already gave everything away. To him, at least. For a stranger, Jaejoong would just be a little moodier and darker than other days, but Changmin would immediately recognise this behaviour for it only occurred once a year. He himself also had such a day, the day his biological parents left him.
Today he had a mission; to cheer up his big brother, Jaejoong. That was the reason he went to the kitchen this night. Okay, maybe also a little to get himself some yummy muffins, but mainly for Jaejoong. That was why his usual pile of sweets consisted mainly of the things Jaejoong liked the most. Changmin looked around the common room, looking for his brother. He was quite sure he would find him here, knowing from experience that the older boy wouldn’t be able to sleep. He found him sitting against the wall on the opposite side of the room, so Changmin walked over to him.
“Thank God, I’m glad I found you here, Jae! Please help me eat all this food,” Changmin said while plopping down next to Jaejoong on the floor. “The house elves were so happy to see me, they didn’t know how fast they had to go get me some food. Before I knew it all twenty elves had each given me two pieces! Two each! That means I have 40 pieces!” he exclaimed excitedly. “Well... Maybe not 40 anymore,” he added sheepishly. With his usual smile on his face he started handing Jaejoong’s favourite treats to the groggy boy next to him, hoping this would cheer him up at least a little bit. If not, he had to think of something else. He was prepared to do anything, because he would do everything to cheer up his brother.
I bet your arm tastes lovely! // Shim Changmin & Cho Kyuhyun
Untill then everything seemed to go well. That fact alone was actually quite an accomplishment. Because somehow there was always a student who managed to mess things up the moment they were working with real plants. As long as he kept it with a little talk, pictures out of a book and what not.. Than everything went fine. But the very moment he showed up with real plants.. It was either students who went in to total panic, or students who managed to mess it up horribly.
After his explanation the students went to work. Once in a while he needed to take action and help a student. One who almost broke the stem of one of his poor plants. Once the stem was broken there was nothing he could do for those poor souls. So that was the point he was most afraid of. But it seemed that almost all the students were handling them with great care. He wasn’t that worried about the fact that the plants eat flesh. As long as all the students were wearing their protective clothes nothing could go wrong.
As more students managed to re-pot their plants it became Kyuhyun’s task to put the pots back on their places. These plants were almost grown enough to use for potions and such, which made him proud of it. He placed the fifth plant on the shelve before turning back to get a new pair.
Just as he reached out for a plant he heard a voice calling for him. He frowned a bit and pulled his hands back from the plant, just to be sure. “What is it?” he asked as he looked around to just who was calling for him. Eventually he noticed a student that had a plant-mouth on a place it should not be. He walked closer to the said student. “What happened?”
Changmin looked at the professor as the man patiently walked over as if nothing dangerous was happening to him. Didn’t he care if one of his students ended up with one hand less? That didn’t seem like a good reputation to Changmin. He felt the plant trying to make small holes in his gloves, it was probably trying to get to the good stuff. Luckily the plant wasn’t poisonous. At least, professor Cho hadn’t said anything about venom, did he? Changmin wasn’t so sure anymore now the plant was trying to eat his wrist.
Just to make sure the plant wouldn’t poison him, he tried to push the plant off his wrist. He was trying to be as careful as possible not to break the stem, but it wasn’t easy. The plant turned out to be quite strong. Changmin tried to lift the upper side of the plant off of his wrist, but the plant was holding on pretty firmly. After a few attempts of removing this stupid plant, Changmin gave up. He admitted it; he was defeated by a self-fertilising shrub. He sighed.
At this time, professor Cho arrived at his table. Changmin looked up at him when he asked what had happened. “Well, I was already finished with re-potting my tray of plants and my neighbour was too, so we started talking. And while I wasn’t paying too much attention to these plants, one of them decided my arm would taste rather nice and grabbed me around the wrist,” Changmin explained and pointed at the shrub that was still holding on to his arm.
“Could you help me get it off my arm? I tried myself, but it’s stronger than it looks,” he asked sheepishly, remembering his pathetic attempts. Then his earlier doubt popped up in his head again. “They aren’t poisonous, are they?” was his last, concerned question.
Care for a flying lesson? // Changmin & Sungmin
Changmin was walking the Hogwarts grounds. He had always enjoyed nature; the sounds of the rustling plants and trees, the birds flying along looking for food or twigs for their nests, the smell of the blooming flowers. He also liked the other people walking along the different paths. For some reason everyone surrounded by nature looked more at ease. At least, that was exactly how Changmin felt right now. Walking on these grounds, with the many normal or magical plants, flowers and trees, it felt as some kind of break from his normal hyper behavior.
The path he had randomly taken lead him straight to the Quidditch pitch, so he decided to have a look there for a change. The pitch wasn’t a place he went to often. To be honest, he was afraid of flying. Not because of the height the broomstick got you to. No, because of flying itself. It was some kind of childhood trauma. He walked through the entrance to the bleachers and sat down on one of the benches. He took a quick look around and saw that the pitch completely empty, except for one lonely, flying student. This person seemed to be pretty good at what he was doing, because Changmin saw him do some difficult looking maneuvers and he was still sitting on his broomstick. ‘Pretty impressive,’ thought Changmin, admiring the person a bit already.
It was times like this that he regretted being afraid of flying. But it’s not like he could help it. He couldn’t even think of himself on a broomstick without freaking out. He doubted he would ever climb on those things, probably not even if his life depended on it. Changmin quickly tried to shake these negative thought off. He decided to just look at the tricks the stranger was doing, so he leaned back and made himself as comfortable as possible on these wooden bleachers.
I bet your arm tastes lovely! // Shim Changmin & Cho Kyuhyun
On this hot summer afternoon, Changmin found himself in one of the greenhouses. Those greenhouses were even hotter – boiling hot, they were – than it already was outside. And to make things even worse, professor Cho had told them to wear their dragon hide gloves and robes. As if it wasn’t warm enough already! Changmin usually wasn’t the whining type, but today he could help thinking about the things he couldn’t do due to this class instead of the things he could.
Today they were working with self-fertilising shrubs. As the name of these weird plants suggests, they fertilise themselves, so the students didn’t have to feed the plants for once. Thank god, because these were flesh eating plants! The fifth years had to re-pot them, but even though these plants were hunters, they were very fragile as well. The professor had told them to be very careful, because once the stem was broken, the plant was useless.
Changmin, however, had mastered the re-potting of these things pretty quickly and ran out of plants when there were still 15 minutes left of this class. So, deciding to spend his time useful, he turned to his neighbour and started a conversation with him.
He was laughing rather loudly when Changmin felt something around his wrist. Turning to see what was holding on to him, the smile on his lips soon died and turned into a look of terror. One of the self-fertilising shrubs was biting his glove, probably trying to get to the delicious flesh protected by it.
Changmin’s eyes grew wide, both with shock and panic. He had completely forgotten about those plants and their habits...
“Eh... Professor?” he finally spoke.
