There were several unspoken rules Ryan had picked up working Bleak Street the past few years. Don't touch things if you don't know what they do, not matter how interested or curious you were, try to avoid asking too many questions, and don't talk to people unless you really need to. The latter...

Ryan figured he should be feeling some sort of strong emotion about tonight being his last proper night in the Great Hall, but mostly it felt the same as always, though slightly more green than there had been in some of the previous years. School had been enjoyable over the past seven years and...

Ryan tugged vaguely at the collar of his robes as graduation ceremony got underway. He didn't really have the patience for all the pageantry, having seen part of it already last year when Nicole graduated. He'd already figured he wasn't going to look back on his time at school with nearly as...

Ryan straightened up with a sigh when the fern provided no helpful insight, shrugging at Augustus’ question. “I think so. Maybe, I dunno, something with curses. A curse breaker or something,” he said, annoyed to find himself hesitating as he shared the idea with Augustus. It wasn’t like it was a...

Ryan scrunched his face in confusion as the girl mentioned not wanting to control the conjured owl, glancing out the window at the retreating shape of the owl. "Good I guess, cause you weren't doing a very good job," he said with a shrug. He'd ask why she'd bother if she didn't want to try and...

Ryan shrugged at Augustus' comments about the ministry, squinting closely at something on the treebark that turned out to just be a snail trail, something he'd usually be vaguely interested in but not what they were after tonight. "I dunno, I like doing my own thing," he said, flicking some...

Ryan was sure the painting he was looking for was around here somewhere. He distinctly remembered it being across from some sort of statue, but so far he'd only found a few suits of armor and without much else to go on, the few portraits up here hadn't been able to offer much in regards to...

"Maybe," Ryan said mulishly. He didn't particularly enjoy being stunned, having spent a few weeks in their third year getting his roommates to stun him to see if he could somehow mentally revive himself via pure force of will. Ultimately, it'd been a failed experiment, but he had gotten pretty...

“Why would I?” Ryan asked, shifting some branches around before carefully stepping through the underbrush and further into the forest. “I doubt the Ministry knows anything we couldn’t figure out on our own,” he said simply, impatiently holding back some branches so Augustus could follow him...

Ryan looked curiously at the bush the girl indicated too, squinting at it for a moment instead. Right as he'd turned to look however, the one he'd crouched in front of seemed to decide to finally move, shuffling practically over Ryan who could only let out a muffled yelp before the bush had...

Current Points: 95"Yeah actually-" Ryan started when Linden returned his question about the canary hex, shaking his head quickly. He was actually doing pretty well today, if he could focus for a second. He nodded when Linden mentioned the birds. "They're interesting-" He started, cut off again...

Current Points: 135 Ryan didn't bother suppressing the pleased bark of laughter as his spell hit, content simply seeing the hex work successfully even if he hadn't managed a super long duration. "Did that feel weird?" He asked, almost belatedly remembering they were in fact actually duelling as...

Current Points: 145 Babbling curses were certainly interesting, Ryan always wanted to know what it would force out, if anything coherent, but he always didn't want to get knocked out immediately, managing to bring up a non-verbal shield charm just in time to block Linden's spell. His non-verbal...

Ryan hummed in acknowledgement, hunkering down more on his heels as he peered at the bush, giving it an experimental poke before looking at the girl curiously when she asked a question. "Like a... Kiss sensing charm?" He said with a raised eyebrow, looking back at the bush. It sounded pretty...

"Excuse me," Ryan said briskly as he stepped over the bench the girl was sitting on, stopping near her to peer expectantly at the rosebose next to her. He'd been watching the garden for several minutes now but he wasn't sure he was even close to figuring out a pattern to it yet. At least it was...

Current Points: 150 Ryan was fully aware he wasn't a very good duellist but he still liked signing up for the tournment each year regardless. He liked the chance to try out new spells even if it meant more often or not he experienced that by getting hit by them. Bowing to Linden, Ryan readied...

Ryan knew it wasn't exactly likely he was going to catch some sort of nefarious dark wizard out here but he was still pretty disappointed that he'd only apparently found some random Slytherin. Though he supposed Lysander had just been some random Gryffindor until he'd hatched a bloody basilisk...

Ryan cast a glance over his shoulder when Augustus questioned his comment about the ministry, shrugging his shoulder dismissively as he poked around some ferns. "Obvious. Any big organization is gonna be filled with people who don't actually know what they're doing," he said simply, though he...

Ryan had mostly accepted that he wasn't going to find any evidence of the basilisk that had been in the forest. Short of sending a letter to Lysander asking him exactly where he'd hatched it (which even Ryan could guess was probably a bad idea), he'd had to face the fact that any evidence had...
