Surprise Me

[Giuliano Raven]

Giuliano was having his nose attacked by flowers, and he loved it. The newly named Hufflepuff was terribly excited to be at Hogwarts - and in a house that he knew no-one in. Giuls was happy to be the first Raven in Hufflepuff, because it meant that he had a house all to himself. Besides, yellow was a nice colour. Scarlet would have been better, but Jeremiah was in Gryffindor, and Giuliano wanted to have his own house, which he now had. He soon found himself walking through the grounds, and naturally wandered towards the Rosebush, since it looked nice, not like the Forbidden Forest. Giuliano liked adventure, but he did not have a death wish, or a wish to have his parents skin him alive for being stupid. No, Giuliano was happy to just walk around the rosebush for now, it would be better for his health. The Hufflepuff poked at the roses happily, noting the many different colours and shapes. He began to wondering what happened to his train-ride friends. Jarek, Jakobe and Scarlet. He wanted to talk to them all again and have some fun with them - maybe go do something silly together, because every silly thing was way more interesting when done with friends.

Giuliano knew that one of his friend's were in his house, but he had lost Scarlet in the crowd. Jarek was in Gryffindor, and Giuliano wondered if he would meet Jeremiah, and if so, if Jeremiah would say any mean things about it. It was certainly a possibility. Jakobe was in Ravenclaw, and Giuliano's brothers, Arturo and Dante, were there too. Giuliano, after learning the Ravenclaw was for wise people and that, knew that he would not have a hope in going to that house, he was no-where near as smart as his brothers. But he did hope that Jakobe would still like him, because he would hate to be replaced by Arturo. He was not worried about Dante, since Dante would not like Jakobe at all, and he was older than Jakobe, it was just like how he was not worried about being replaced with Jeremiah, because Jeremiah was so much older than them and had his own friends, Giuls doubted Jarek would replace him with Jeremiah.

Upon seeing a gap between some of the roses, Giuliano wandered between them, pausing when he heard some shuffling in the bushes. He narrowed his eyes and chuckled quietly to himself as he crouched and bolted out of the bushes. "Boo!"

[Ariadne Nightray]

Ariadne had promised herself that she'd be getting out of her comfort zone as soon as she entered Hogwarts. She had always dreamt of meeting other people, of talking and just running around with kids of her own age, yet, now that she had the chance to do just that, she was unsure of what to do. All her life, she had been like a bird trapped inside a cage. She had not been allowed to go out nor was she allowed to play with other kids, thus, she learned not how to deal with crowds. She didn't know to deal with people, she didn't know how to deal with noise, and she definitely didn't know how to deal with her current situation. She had her head buried in her knees as she tried to remain unnoticed behind the rosebush which she found while running away from her cousins. She really didn't know how to deal with Armin. She was sure that she was already used to his pranks but Merlin was the boy full of surprises. She had to hide from him or else, she'd die. She was sure that she'd die, and she didn't want that. She wanted to see her brother first. She never had the chance to talk to the older since they parted ways in the train. She had been sorted to Ravenclaw. A part of her wished that she had been sorted in her brother's house instead, but she knew that the possibility of that ever happening was really slim, and she was right. She was far from being like her brother. She was fine with being a Ravenclaw, but she was scared. That and she was lonely too. She knew no one in that house. Of course, there was that boy that she met in the train ride to school, but she had not seen him since then. She wasn't even sure if the boy liked her. She screamed at him after all. He must think that she's weird.

The newly sorted Ravenclaw raised her head and shuffled a little bit, trying to peak behind the bushes to check whether she's already safe. Luckily, it seemed like her cousin had gotten tired of chasing her. Heaving a sigh of relief, she sunk back to her previous position, her legs close to her chest. She then began to play around with the flowers around her, torn between wanting to pluck them out to put them in her room or to just admire them silently. "You're really pretty. I want to show you to my brother, but pulling you out would result to your death, and I definitely don't want that to happen," she muttered silently, giggling to herself as she began to rock back and forth while humming a small tune. "Well then, I think I'm safe now. Be safe, I don't want you to be stepped on by the other students. That would be really bad." She knew that should people hear her talking to those flowers; said people would think that she's mad. But she didn't really care that much. At least, these flowers won't judge her no matter how awkward or clumsy she was. "Good-Ah!" She wasn't able to finish what she about to say when she was caught off guard by a voice that came out of nowhere. The Ravenclaw began to shake and soon came that ear piercing scream that she was unaware was being made by her. She was unable to move from her spot. She was shaking really hard and she couldn't stop herself from screaming. She was too scared and was too shocked that she unconsciously pulled out the flower that she had been talking to earlier. Horrified at what she had done, her lips began to tremble and she felt like crying. She would have cried already if only she was capable of stopping herself from making that horrible noise. But she can't. She was still shaking, screaming, and frozen in her spot.​

 

[Giuliano Raven]

Giuliano had not expected such a reaction from the girl. She had been talking to flowers, so he thought that she was weird enough to roll with this. He blinked silently as she appeared to curl up like a prune and just screamed at him. After a while, he covered his ears from the noise, finding it to be giving him a headache of massive proportions. Why was she acting like that anyway? He wasn't particularly scary or anything. Anyone else should have been able to hear him and just tell him to shove off, but not this girl, she just screamed. And she was still screaming. The pure blood began to doubt whether she had even taken a breath. To his knowledge, she should have fainted or something by now. Judging by her robes, however, she was a Ravenclaw - and might know his brother! Poor girl. No wonder why she was screaming. She probably thought he was Arturo and was scared. Arturo was, afterall, a horrible person.

Giuliano got on his knees beside her, and placed his hand over her mouth in an attempt to muffle the screaming and maybe allow her to hear him. "I didn't mean to frighten you!" He said, trying to be heard over her. "It was just some fun!"
