There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard

"I'm glad we understand each other," Iris said calmly, flipping the knife closed with another easy motion. She walked the closed knife over her knuckles a moment, vanishing it in one of the simple sleights of hand she'd practiced over and over to make seem effortless. She pushed off from the wall and turned to face Jean, looking him straight in the eyes. "I'm not unreasonable. I know any couple fights sometimes. But if you break her heart, I won't allow you a chance to hurt her a second time," she informed him coldly, face blank. Then she smiled, sunshine and roses again. "Treat her like the princess she sees herself as, and I'm sure Cathy will be very happy to see her boyfriend and best friend getting along. After all, she likes us both very much, and we both want the same things for her, so I'm sure we'll be great friends too. Oh! Look at the time. I'm afraid I'll be late if I don't go. I'm sure we'll see each other later. If you'll excuse me?" she said sweetly.

There's a fire in your eyes*
And I hope you'll let it burn*
Until you're heard*

Gid had left his Common Room earlier than usual, determined to see Rhys. The boy didn't seem to be going down for food at all, unless he'd discovered the mysterious kitchens. But... if he had, surely he'd have told his best friend, right? The boy exhaled heavily, already tired from the stairs and from standing about the hall. He leaned against the railing carefully, making sure he still had his balance before lifting his hands to relieve pressure on his arms for a moment. Rhys had to be around somewhere!

It was then that Gid's gaze caught a bright shock of white hair walking closer. The boy got excited, but promptly frowned when Rhys turned around. Gid grabbed his crutches and hurried as quickly as possible, breathing heavily as he tried to ensure Rhys wouldn't vanish into his commons. "Rhys! Wait! Just... wait a second!" He kept hurrying, arms starting to hurt as he drew nearer. Unfortunately, he was about as fast as a sloth climbing a tree, so it was incredibly likely Rhys would just... leave. Again. He wanted to see his friend, as that was rather the point of having them.

Gid hurried after Rhys, determination setting in. If the Ravenclaw did indeed go back to his common room, he was fully prepared to sit in the hall and wait until he peeked out. He'd even brought snacks! No way would he go another day without talking like this. The silence hurt so much worse than having no friends at all. Luckily, Rhys slowed, eventually stopping so Gid could catch up. When he did, the blonde took a moment to adjust his breathing, then he looked into the blue eyes he'd become quite used to seeing... or... he had been, until Rhys decided hiding was a good idea. "Alright, Rhys. It's been a while since we've talked, and I think one way or another we need to do so again. I don't care where you want to go, I'm gonna follow. You're my friend, and even though I've never had one before you, I'm gonna make this one work, okay? So whatever is going on, I need you to tell me so I can help you and make you feel better so I can have my friend back." That... was a lot more words than he'd intended, but they just kinda... spilled out. Well... it needed to be said! Rhys was the first person Gid could really, truly think of as a friend, but... something changed. Rhys had become cynical, sarcastic, and at times, downright mean. It was going to have to stop sometime, though. One way or another, he had to get answers from Rhys. It wasn't like the quiet kid he'd befriended his first year, and somehow, the blonde knew something had happened to change him. He just wanted his friend back! Why would the universe be so cruel as to raise his hopes, then kick them out from under him like some kind of horrible trick?

Gid sighed when Rhys brushed him off, saying he didn't need to talk. He wanted alone time, but that seemed all the time. "I respect that, honest, I do, but you've had nothing but alone time for a while. I am here to talk. Even if it's in writing or sign. However is fine." He wasn't going to back off easily, not anymore. His emotions had been a roller coaster this year, with Rhys building the track. It was exciting at the beginning, but now Gid just felt sick from it all. He tilted his head, regarding the other boy. Rhys was clearly upset and avoiding eye contact. Gid waited with a neutral expression, hoping his friend wouldn't think him angry. When Rhys finally did look up, Gid looked at him, but he turned away once more. Rhys told Gid to just go, causing the younger boy to take a deep breath. He wasn't making this very easy. "No, I won't. You need to eat. You've been skipping meals lately, and if nothing else, you need the food to live. It's rather obvious you're trying to avoid people. I get that too. But starving yourself won't help. C'mon. Let's go to dinner. I won't ask what's wrong anymore either." He gave a pointed stare, hoping Rhys' logical side would take over. And no matter how much he wanted to know what was going on, it wasn't worth sitting by as Rhys refused food. Besides.... He'd most likely find out eventually.

Gid blinked when Rhys looked up with an angry expression. This... wasn't going to be fun. Rhys immediately tore into him, the Gryffindor not changing facial expressions. He said he wanted to be alone, and while Gid had always been taught to talk through his problems, it was clear Rhys had had the opposite. After quietly saying the Ravenclaw had been skipping meals, Rhys went off. He said he'd disappear if he wanted, and that he knew where to hide. Finally, Gid sighed, preparing to let loose his own emotions. "I have no doubt that you could disappear. This whole year's been a testament to that. But... you don't want to disappear, I don't think. If you did, if you really wanted to, you'd have done it by now." He stared at Rhys, proud of himself for controlling his emotions thus far. "Honestly, I think it's all a tragic cry for attention. I've tried, several times, to help you, but you're a damn idiot that thinks he can save his own life. Well Rhys, How's that working out for you? Have you fixed all life's problems by being a massive t**t?" He exhaled heavily, his own eyes narrowing. He adjusted, lifting a bit to stand, his body barely taller than his friend's. He looked at Rhys once more, now frowning rather angrily. "You know what? Forget I asked. Forget everything I've ever done for you, because if you're going to treat me like this, I'm not going to bloody stay around. Good luck on disappearing, Rhys, but when you decide you're done with your little b***h fit, don't come looking to me for help." His voice broke at the end, tears filling his eyes, though they didn't fall just yet. Instead, the blonde started the long march away, heading back up the stairs. After all that, he didn't want food, or really to see people. More likely, he was going to have a breakdown. He'd never meant to leave Rhys, but he was being a jerk!

Selina guided her charges along the corridor and up a spiral staircase to a very familiar door. The door bore neither knob nor keyhole, but had a bronze knocker cast in the shape of a fierce looking eagle. The prefect gently touched the bas relief, and a voice issued from it.

"If it's information you seek, come and see me.
If it's pairs of letters you need, I have consecutively three."

Selina looked toward the group with her, and explained, "Unlike most Houses, we don't have a password, we have riddle one must solve if one wishes to get into the Common Room. If you can't solve it, you may be stuck waiting until either the door is opened from the other side, or another Housemate comes along and helps you solve it. So, whom wishes to have a go at it?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------xx

After leading the first years up to the fifth floor corridor, Alice paused in front of the entrance to the Ravenclaw Common Room. The door held nothing to indicate a way to open it and instead bore a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. "This is the entrance to your new home..." Alice said, "Our home is unique because we do not have a simple password but instead you must use your wit to win the honor of coming inside. Sort of like a fairy tale. I'll show you..."

She lifted the knocker and rapped the door twice when a voice spoke from the eagle:

"What gets broken without being held?"

Alice looked to the first years and said with a hopeful smile, "Anyone care to go?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quiet and observant,
You watch everything around you and learn from your environment,
This shouldn't be to hard...
Ravenclaw!



{OoC: I will post in the common room tonight. Feel free to answer the riddle.}

Selina guided her charges along the corridor and up a spiral staircase to a very familiar door. The door bore neither knob nor keyhole, but had a bronze knocker cast in the shape of a fierce looking eagle. The prefect gently touched the bas relief, and a voice issued from it.

"Inside me the adventurous find
Quests and treasures of every kind.
Trolls, goblins, orcs, and more, await
Within my closed walls for
All those that wish to visit me.
Your hands are the key
To secrets untold,
And your mind will unlock the door."

Selina looked toward the group with her, and explained, "Unlike most Houses, we don't have a password, we have riddle one must solve if one wishes to get into the Common Room.

Finally off of the moving staircases, Abigail let out the breath she was holding in. Glad the way up was out of the way, a sense of happiness filled her as the group approached a big door. Upon the door was a beautiful, yet simple, door knocker. It was in the shape of an eagle and appeared to be made of bronze. Though the door and knocker were stunning, Abigail couldn’t help but notice there was no door knob nor a keyhole to insert a key. Confusion struck her once again, for she was unclear on how they would be able to go through the door.

While puzzled about the situation, Abigail watched as Selina gently touched the bronze eagle. Suddenly a voice came from it. It was soft and spoke in a musical voice.

Confused even more by the riddle, Abigail didn’t understand what was going on. Though everything was cleared up as Selina explained about having a riddle rather than a password for their house. She explained that if a student couldn’t solve the riddle, they would be stuck outside the common room. Abigail’s eyebrows raised as Selina said that for she wouldn’t want to be stuck outside because she didn’t know an answer.

Selina then asked if anyone wanted to have a go at the riddle. Abigail closed her eyes and began to think the riddle through, but before she really had a second, another student spoke up. Opening her eyes and looking around, Abigail noticed it was the same boy. The boy that had been pushed in the water and who sat at the table. Though she couldn’t think of his name, he seemed rather arrogant and this annoyed her.

Smiling anyway and looking to Selina, Abigail awaited to see if the boy was even right. And if so, what was going to happen next.

Di continued up a narrow spiraled staircase and onto the dimly lit fifth floor, past darkened windows and various doors of all shapes and sizes. Her brisk walk came to a quick stop in front of an impressive door, lacking any knob or keyhole, except for a bronze knocker in the shape of a stern looking eagle. "Every house but Ravenclaw requires a password to enter," she said, glancing back at the first years. "Instead, since we are the house of wisdom and wit, we have a riddle."

She knocked sharply on the door, and the eagle shifted slightly, then spoke. "You will always find me in the past. I can be created in the present. But the future will never taint me. What am I?"
