Hey, that's weird.... I think, blinking in surprise as a small brown owl lands in front of me at breakfast. Immediately I think that it must be bad news of some kind, then decide I'm being stupid. Hey, Chance,
Wanna join me on a mind-hunting expedition? You can bring a friend if you must... and if you actually have one... but Laken's already coming. Don't worry... you're not one of the mindless ones... you're one of the people who's s'posed to help the others look. We're kind of short on those. So anyway... meet me on top of the astronomy tower next Saturday at ten, if you're interested.
Love, (and not like that,  )
AndraI stare at the note for several seconds, then turn toward the gryffindor table to give her an incredulous look. She grins back at me. Oh, well... at least she's happier than lately, I think, shaking my head as I go back to eating my toast. ((Not godmoding 'cause I own both characters. ;D ))

I grin at Chance again, knowing that he must think I'm crazy, then look up as one of the owls I sent out pecks me sharply on the hand.
"Hey! Watch it!" I say before stroking its fluffy head.
There's a note from the Shelby girl I don't know:
Of course, I will come. I'll help with anything you and your friend may need.
I crane my head to try and locate her despite not knowing who she is, and wind up grinning brightly at the Ravenclaw table in general.
Well, at least one person doesn't think I'm nuts.

I watch the owl deliver the note to a gryffindor girl. When she catches my eye I smile at her and wave ever so slightly.

I wave back at some Ravenclaw girl, still grinning, and assume that she's Shelby.
Then I sit back and wait, too excited to eat, for the others to get their invitations... and reply.
Merlin's beard... has no one else ever heard of RSVPing? I fret, knowing perfectly well that they're probably just not at breakfast yet.

I laugh softly to myself as I read the note, then scrawl a reply and send it across the hall to Andra before standing up and yelling, "YOU'RE COMPLETELY INSANE!" at the Gryffindor table.

I look over to where I heard yelling and when I see Rowan, I start laughing.

"THANK YOU!" I yell back at him, ignoring the stares, and sitting back down just as another owl shows up.
Dear Miss Andra,
You are completely bonkers, I hope you know that.
If I want? Are you mad? Of course I don't want to, but I will anyway, only because he's in dire need of a mind.
Haha, I love you too by the way.
Rowan.
I grin as I read his more official reply, then stick my tongue out in the general direction of the Slytherin table.

I stick my tongue out at her back, then wave at Shell, ignoring the odd looks I was getting from the other Slytherin's at the table.

I smile and wave back. *This is crazy a conversation among all the houses...* I think to myself.

I see Yumi walking in half asleep and laugh. "Hey Yumi, wake up!" I yell over to her.

I watch Rowan and Shelby wave at each other and laugh, then hear Shelby yell 'Yumi.'
Aha... someone else who will shortly be getting their mail....
I grin, then look down my own table and frown.
Well, Laken's a late sleeper... I should probably go and kick her so that she's not late for class. And Peter.... I shrug. He'd get his invite eventually. There was plenty of time until Saturday.

I simply smile and return to my stack of pancakes.

I walk into the Great Hall and see Andra "HEY ANDRA, I'LL COME TO EVEN THOUGH I DON'T WANT A MIND." i shout then skip to the table, "Sorry im late, i woke up by the lake." i say as though it was completely normal. I sit down and grab a pancake, eating it without a fork.

I grin at her and shake my head. "Well, some of you are sort of being forced into it... you don't have a choice," I say, taking a sip of orange juice. "And what were you doing by the lake all night? I swear I saw you when I left this morning."

I finish my toast in a state of amused confusion, occasionally watching Andra exchange waves with people from different tables, and at one point hearing her yell across the hall at some Slytherin. I hesitate for a while, then shrug and make my way over to the Gryffindor table.
"You two are completely insane. I agree with what's-his-face," I say to her and Laken, jerking my thumb over my shoulder at the Slytherin guy. "What'd you do, invite half the school to go looking for their minds?"

I look up and see a lot of people by Andra. I decide to walk over and see what was going on. "I think this is better than yelling across the hall..." I say with a smile to them all.

"Hmm...I feel vaguely left out of this meeting of the mindless people and they're sane couterparts," I announce, joining the crowd by the Gryffindor table, "Hello my loves, and people I haven't met yet."

"So, is this everyone?" I ask Andra.

"Er..." I look around the group. "Not quite. Yumi doesn't seem to have gotten her invite yet... Peter isn't here... and this dude has a brother or something," I add, jerking a thumb toward Rowan and then laughing at Chance's trapped look.

"His brother's name is Ian..." I say looking over at Rowan. *Honestly it's Chris...* I think to myself.

Post by Alexandra Foster on Sept 3, 2007 21:06:56 GMT
"Ah, right," I nod. Then frown. "Wait... I thought it was Chris. Pretty sure you said Chris...." I shrug.
"I have a chicken named Thelma," Laken says out of the blue, tilting her head as she eats a rolled-up pancake.

"His name is Chris..." I say to her. "But I call him Ian..." I shake my head at the girl with the pancake.

"Well, that clears that up..." I say, trailing off as I watch Laken grin widely at Shelby so that her eyes are crinkled up. "Hi!" she waves at everyone.
Chance shakes his head, then hides it in his hand.

I shrug, still watching the pancake girl curiously, "Beats my house table."
