Welcome to Gaia! ::

He nodded his head with understanding, his older brother, Gabriel, struggled at everything he did, including quidditch, but being a Montague left no room for failure-- and every glittering prize of gold in his family's trophy room showcased it.
"Ah-, so, if you don't play, what do you like to do?" He wondered, his mother had always told him to ask more questions than answer, especially with women. When Eve replied, a bit shocked, he could only grin. "Heh, yea, most mates do, but no, it just runs in the family I guess, certainly helped me last year on the train, especially trying to get off. Certainly nice to meet you Eve, by the way, how was you mates train ride up here?

Heh, and if you like, I could always teach you to fly, whenever you'd like." He winked at Eli, his deep voice sifting gently and comforting in the midst of chaos.

Just then, as he shook Eve's hand, several more voices and faces caught wisp of his attention and he turned to greet them all with a wry smile on his lips, dimples adorning each cheek.

"Joshua, Jaslyn, and Virgil, huh? Brilliant to meet you all, I'm Dominic Montague, second year beater, and this is my cousin, Belle." Dom quickly introduced himself, he had heard of the Ross family, they were nearly as pure and ancient as his own house, once of French royalty in early years of monarchy.

Slip out the back before they know you were there

and at the worst you'll see nobody cares,

you don't want to be around when it all goes down...

The rebellious were bold and defined, the frowns outlined their dismay, while the ambitious sought guidance with heads held high. The peaked curiousity observed vigil through his peripherals, watching everyone. Several caught his interest- the particular boy who had decided to approach Storm, and... Aldred, wasn't it? It was the very same boy that had been in idle conversation with Michelle...

And then of course, there was her, hair long and free as silver moon beams. Leaning across the table, he murmured to Michelle, only the smallest, curious, nosey few would be able to hear him. "We never finished what we started," Tay began, pausing for emphasis, and implying the night they spent practicing spells down in the dungeons. "Find me in the common room tonight, if your interested."

How did we get here? When I used to know you so well?


Marina was momentarily stunned into silence. She exhaled slowly as she watched the first year walk away. "Interesting." If her hunch was correct firstie wanted a guide in the house of snakes. Already looking to get ahead.... He was obviously clueless to the fact that she was a halfblood and her social standing was nonexistent. She had very little influence in Slytherin. However she knew exactly what she would she would do to get ahead if she was a pureblood looking to climb to the top. Maybe she could give Salling a few pointers. But he really would have been better off asking someone like Michelle... Well she'd think on it. It would be in her best interests to have people owing her. Better to make friends then enemies.

How did we get here? Well I think I know...

Damien had felt eyes on him, and seen Michelle staring at him, rather strangely, from the corner of his eye. He hadn't care for it much; there was something going on in her head, and he doubted he'd like it one little bit. Her insistence on remaining friends with Adalaide last term and his refusal to allow or accept it had rather bothered her. And by bothered, he meant it had infuriated her. There was a faint part of his mind that recognized all this, although most of his attention wasn't focused on anything at all. He took a moment to wonder what was going on behind her eyes. Her friendship with an undesirable aside, she did have the markings of a true snake. Although, after this summer... he wasn't particularly keen on following his parent's teachings. They hadn't exactly won any points with their treatment of him over the summer... he was trapped here, at school, away from his home, and yet the only thing he missed about it was his House Elf.
