The Centaurs Arrive

[Vico]

(Feel free to post your character's reactions to what will be posted in this thread)

---

Vico and his band entered the Entrance Hall in haste, the three wizards with them, and stopped a moment for instruction from Vico. Vico looked around the room and nodded toward two armed centaurs, one being the swordsman he'd brought with him. "Both of you stand guard here. Alert us of any trouble you may have." Vico ordered, indicating they should keep the professor and the two students with them.

Turning around himself once to ensure he had some space Vico adjusted his bow once more and broke off in to a tort - up the staircase toward the rest of the school, looking for the woman he'd met once before and who he knew to have a position of authority in this school, the rest of his band following behind him.

 

[Crispin V. Cold]

Crispin stood with Andy, his larger hand still wrapped around hers. Once the leader was gone, he ignored the others and whispered to her. "Are you alright?" He worried for her, unsure if any of the effects of transformation began well before the moonrise. He'd no clue how it could effect her internally.

 

[Alyssa Chevalier]

Alyssa walked into the Entrance Hall wearing another one of her usually fashion inspired Outfits. But the moment she walked into the Great Hall she not only smelled something strange, she saw real live Centaurs inside the castle. 'Umm...' Her thoughts were a bit fuddled at she tried to think why they would possibly be outside of the forest.

"They are so totally going to get hoof prints all over the floor." Alyssa muttered while shaking her head in slight disgust.

 

[Theodore Snow]

While wearing some loose Clothing, Theodore made his way into the Entrance hall right after his sister. He had literally woken up from a nap maybe about fifteen minute's ago and was still a tad bit fuzzy in the head. With one of his hands he pushed some of his blonde hair way from his face so he could rub at his eyes as he continued to follow after his sister. Once inside the hall he stopped and looked up curiously when he heard Alyssa speak, she said something about hoof marks and that immediately caught Theo's interest.

"Ummm..." His green eyes narrowed for a moment when he saw what could be Centaur's inside the castle. Blinking he suddenly felt more tired then he's ever been, this was all seriously too much for him to handle right after waking up.

 

[Jessame Rose Trewelly]

Jessame Rose was wearing one of her brand new outfits that she'd bought on her shopping trip with Livia. It felt strange wearing such short shorts and shoes that weren't jandals or sneakers. She admired her nail polish and thought how grown up she looked in this get-up, never mind that she felt like a little girl playing dress-ups. She was on her way outside to enjoy the sunshine, but when she arrived in the Entrance Hall, she stopped short. Her dark green eyes almost bugged out of her head and she couldn't speak. She soon discovered she couldn't move, either. As much as she wanted to scream and run away, she couldn't. She stood rooted to the spot, staring at the half-horse, half human creature in the entrance.

So much for going outside; there was no way J.R. was going near that thing. It had a weapon and looked angry. It seemed to be guarding three students... wait, no! Two students and a professor? J.R. re-evaluated her opinion of the... animal? No, it wasn't that... In any case, it clearly had a decent head on it's shoulders if it had taken issue with the freaks that tried to call themselves teachers in this place.

 

[Lola Rowann]

Lola was incensed that they had been marched through the school grounds and into, actually into the school by the centaurs. She could easily have called to Gabrial as they had passed the tent but he would have to wait for the other students to return. She just hoped that he wouldn't go barging into the forest in search of them. Convinced he would hear the hooves of the centaurs as they trotted to the castle, Lola followed behind her students. Neither of them had been in any real danger, she would never put any of her students in peril for the sake of it. As far as she could see the only danger those two were in was not realizing how much they cared for one another.

They were told to remain in the entrance hall and as some students gathered around them she clapped her hands and told them to move along to class. Those without class she couldn't very well do anything about. Mortifying as it was to be held here by the two centaurs while the leader cantered upstairs Lola clasped her hands behind her back and awaited whatever the fates allowed. Would the pompous oaf cost her, her job here? She was tempted to use some wandless and non verbal spells to disarm the centaurs but knowing that it was foolhardy she let it be and simply closed her eyes, rubbing her temples to ease the tension headache that now throbbed painfully.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda wanted nothing more than to run to the cavern as they past it on their way to the school. Part of her did feel a little bad for the professor who must feel nothing but abject humiliation at this point. She tried to concentrate on everything else about her but the feel of her hand in Crispin's but it was no good. Every inch of her was so unbearably aware of him. When they finally reached the school and walked into the entrance hall she didn't bother looking about as some of the students began glancing their way to see what was up. It wasn't everyday that centaurs entered the school after all. As the leader made his way upstairs, she glanced quickly at her watch. It was a little after 2pm, she sighed with relief. The moon wouldn't be up for another four hours at least.

It was then she heard his voice ask her how she was, Andromeda turned to look up at him. Her fingers involuntarily squeezed his gently wanting so badly to just hold on to him a while longer. Was that so wrong?
"I'm ok, crap follows me around. It's amazing what a person can get used to" she attempted a smile though it seemed pained, as her stomach clenched involuntarily. Contracting hungrily, she needed to eat and badly. If she didn't now the hunger later would be utterly unbearable but what were the chances of the centaurs allowing her to the kitchens. She could always ask the professor to call one of the house elves but did she really want to eat raw meat infront of every one here. The pain the hunger caused was agony and quickly she released her hand from his as she clutched her stomach. The wolfsbane only did so much but it was because of the wolfsbane that her appetite increased ten fold at this time.
"Are you ok?" she needed to know before she became overwhelmed by the pain.

 

[Claphore]

Claphore kept his broadsword trained on the foolish humans, a slow smile creeping to his face and remaining there. They made their way to the school and for the first time, he grew apprehensive. He had never been on school grounds before, the lawn would have suited him fine but Vico was leading them into the school itself. He furrowed his brow looking about as students seemed to appear to simply ogle them. With his broadsword still drawn he held it close pointed at the professor now more than the others. Though he really wanted nothing more than to run the she-wolf through and finally be done with her annoyance.

 

[Zazuka Getathorn]

Zazuka held her books to her chest as she walked across the Entrence hall. She had been unaware that anything was going on until she saw the large group in front of the front door. Zazuka saw the lead centaur walk towards the stares leading Andy, her best friend, the King of Swords, and one of their professors. All the same she took her free hand and extended her skirt in a curtsy. It wasn't long after that a strong hand jossled her into the Great Hall. She looked back that the young centaur standing in front of the outer doors then turned back. She hoped that they saw the galexcy that she kept within herself as something that would help them. For those who knew how to look they mirrored the night sky.

 

[Cecily Rambolt]

Cecily had come down the stairs carefully with the centaurs, making sure to have a firm grip on the railing. She didn't want to risk an accident so early on in her pregnancy, something high on her mind until her feet were firmly on the stone flooring leading toward the entrance way. Then thoughts turned to the matter at hand. Approaching the group, she sighed and shook her head. Andromeda looked awful, she should be eating and already making plans to go to the gardens. "Mr. Cold, please escort Miss Fiorelli to the kitchens. See that she gets something to eat, then to the cavern. Time is of the essence," she said, her green eyes hard.

As there were students about, Cecily knew she would not feel comfortable ever speaking with a professor on disciplinary actions in front of others. "Lola, please retrieve Gabe and see the others are safely returned to the castle grounds. Then both of you will report to my office with in the hour."

 

[Lola Rowann]

Lola continued to rub her temples, alternating between those and the bridge of her nose when her eyes caught sight of Andromeda as she clutched her stomach. Taking out her time piece she creased her brow with worry about to say something she was saved doing so when Cecily arrived to take control of the situation. Being ordered to get Gabe was fine enough but she was somewhat dreading the talk they would be having with her later. They hadn't sent the children that far into the forest, granted probably further than they had ever been before but with their bracelets being charmed to warn both professors if any assistance was needed, she for one had thought it was all fine. Perhaps clearing these types of detentions first was necessary. She was glad of one thing though and that was that Miss Fiorelli was now being seen to.

With that she turned on her heal and walked back to the lawn to get Gabe.

 

[Aurora Merrythought]

Professor Merrythought was going to have a quiet peaceful today, seeing as she had no lessons to teach till tonight. Much to her surprise a herd of centaurs came charging into the hall. Professor Merrythought dropped her thought and looked around rather shocked at the whole situation and looked on as they charged out of the hall. "They had better no mess up my office..." she grumbled under her breath. She then saw Professor Rowann seeing to have some kind of involvement. 'I bet she's all behind it. Sending children unsupervised into the forest' Aurora thought, secretly looking at her.
