Third Floor Common Room: Morning

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Having "mastered" the remote control, Ron went forth into the common room and became even more daring by figuring out how the vending machines worked.

Plopping down in front of the television with his newfound love (pop tarts) Ron successfully managed to get the TV on by mashing a bunch of buttons and then somehow ending up watch "Wendy the Werewolf Stalker".

This muggle stuff? Piece o' cake.

River had decided to go for a walk, but on her way down she was distracted by the sound from the TV of werewolves dying. She quietly approached the couch in front of it. "They make strange noises when they die."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, right," Ron said good naturedly. "Werewolves look nothing like that of course."

He'd have to find a way to send this show to Lupin. He always looked like he needed a laugh.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded. She had never met one and clearly Ron had. Taking a seat on the couch she tilted her head. "So what are they like?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Pretty miserable lot actually," Ron replied munching on his pop tart. "Most of them are broke because no one will take them on for a job because everyone doesn't trust them. They don't run around wearing suits fighting evil with their bare hands. Not like that guy Seraphim."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

That made sense to River. She nodded again. "Fictional representations on TV are rarely to be taken completely serious."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Well you think someone would get their facts straight at least," Ron said shaking his head and then held up his other pop tart. "Hungry?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River's eyes lit up. "Yes." The pop tart looked tasty.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Help yourself," Ron said handing it over. "They're called pop tarts and they are absolutely brilliant."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Brilliant," River agreed. "Have been introduced to them." She started munching on the pop tart. "Show me something fun with magic?" It might be a sudden change of subject.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Ron blinked. "Like what?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"I like flying things." River giggled, looking excited.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"All right then," Ron said with a shrug and got his wand out. Looking around for something to levitate he focused on a chair cushion. "Wingardium Leviosa!"

He then moved the cushion around the room and landed it on top of the kitchen counter.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River chased after the pillow, poking it occasionally. As the pillow had landed she placed her head on it. "Levitate me?" she asked.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about that," Ron said. "You're bigger than a pillow and I may drop you on your head."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Am good at landing on my feet." River lifted her head off the pillow.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

Ron frowned. "Yes, but magic isn't a toy. Floating around cushions is one thing but I'd rather not do a spell on anyone even if they are good on their feet."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Playing with it doesn't mean it's a toy," River replied, then shrugged. It wasn't of a huge importance after all. She threw the pillow back at Ron, laughing.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

The pillow bounced off Ron's head. "Hey now!" he said good naturedly. "What was that for?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

With a giggle, River sought shelter behind the couch.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"That's not very good place for shelter," Ron said throwing a couch cushion over the couch.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River rolled on to her back, caught the cushion and threw it back at Ron's face. "Tricky."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

As usual Ron was not quick enough to stop the cushion which smacked into his face. "Ow! Careful! If I get blinded it'll be your fault if I can't be keeper for Gryffindor."

That of course didn't stop him from throwing the cushion back.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"No Gryffindors here," River replied, throwing the cushion back once more. "You have a broomstick?

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Actually Hermione and Harry are here," Ron replied, (because once a Gryffindor always a Gryffindor) "And when when our old house has its next match we're supposed to play in it."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Against who?" River asked, grinning.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Slytherin," Ron replied. "They're our big rival."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River thought Cedric might have mentioned Slytherin at some point, as she remembered the name. "Make them slither."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"They do that pretty well on their own," Ron said with a small smirk.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Hence the name." River sat up. "Adaption to Fandom going well?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy was slumming on the third floor. He wouldn't tell anyone he was slumming because the 4th floor common room only remained cooler than the other floors if it's coolness were secret.

"Hey man, what's on?"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Some show about werewolves," Ron said with a shrug and then got a thoughtful look on his face. "Tell me. Do you love Jesus?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Do I what?" Billy was completely taken by surprise by that question.

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"Jesus? Do you love him?" Ron asked.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Uhhh...well, to be honest I haven't really thought about it." Great was he about to get proselytized to? He'd made friends with an Angel wasn't that enough?

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka vaulted onto the couch. "DUDE! Wendy! Good call!"

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"The werewolves aren't very true to life," Ron confided. "They seem to be very good at hand to hand combat."

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"That's 'cause Wendy is AWESOME and takes 'em down, like, bam-bam-BAM!"

Sokka shrugged. "But I know what you mean. They're NOTHING like real wolf-demons."

[isourking.livejournal.com]

"You have werewolves too? Are the ostracized from society?" Ron asked.
