Raven, Sakura and Lilith

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 18:35, December 1, 2014 (UTC) Raven was sat in the living room, looking at the boxes under the tree and trying to work out what hers might contain.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 18:39, December 1, 2014 (UTC) Lilith walked into the living room, the shoulders and hair damp from the snow, and immediately went straight to the crackling fireplace, sitting cross-legged in front of it and outstretching her arms to warm them.

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 18:41, December 1, 2014 (UTC) Raven jumped up and dropped the present she was holding, "I wasn't touching them!" she said immediately, but upon seeing Lilith she laughed and sat back down, "Oh, sorry. I thought you were Sakura, or Shayne or Mum or someone,"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 18:43, December 1, 2014 (UTC) She shrugged nonchalantly, looking over at the presents. "I wouldn't care if you were."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 18:45, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "No, I know. 'Cos you're cool like that. But Kura keeps telling me that I'll spoil the magic if I try and guess what's in them. I can't wait until tomorrow when we get to find out!" she grinned.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 18:48, December 1, 2014 (UTC) A rare smile brushed her lips, and she stood up, shaking more snow from her coat and sat down next to Raven. "I bet you got new art supplies. Or a camera."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 18:52, December 1, 2014 (UTC) Raven grinned hopefully, "You think so? I asked for a camera, I want one sooo much! But you know Mum doesn't like me doing 'muggle hobbies' and stuff like that. I've still got my hopes up though,"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 18:54, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "I don't get how photography is a 'muggle hobby. I mean, the Daily Prophet needs photographers, right?"

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 18:56, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "I know!" Raven exasperated. "She just hates me playing computer games and anything with technology. We can't all be gardeners like Sakura! Anyway, what are you hoping to get?" she asked with a smile.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 18:59, December 1, 2014 (UTC) She shrugged again in response to Raven's question. It was obvious from a distance which gifts were hers - the ones wrapped up in shimmery red paper. "I don't know, really. I'm not hoping for anything. I mean, I've got a harp, and this coat, and these boots. That's pretty much all I wanted last year, and I got them."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:05, December 1, 2014 (UTC) Raven picked up one of Lilith's red boxes and shook it a little, pulling a slight face at the noise it makes. "Well...I have no ideas what that is...but I think I might have broken it,"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:08, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "Yeah, well, what she doesn't know won't hurt her," Lilith said as she reached over and picked up one of her own boxes, giving it a shake gentler than Raven's.

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:12, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "We won't," Raven said, extending the words slightly to make it sound playful and childlike. She picked up another box, "Hey, this one's Shayne's...what do you guys think it is?"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:15, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "It's probably something weird," she said, taking another one of his presents and purposefully shaking it harder than she really should. "To suit him."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:18, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "We're all kinda weird in this family," Raven joked and pulled both of her sisters in for a playful hug.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:20, December 1, 2014 (UTC) She rolled her eyes as she got pulled into the hug, but didn't struggle. If it was anyone else, she would have. "Alright, alright, stop being sappy."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:25, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "But it's Christmas, when else do I get to be sappy?" Raven laughed, but let them go since she knew it made both of them uncomfortable, "Christmas is family time!"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:27, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "I'll share with Carmen, if it means not having to share with Kimi," she groaned. "At least with Carmen I'll be able to get some sleep."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:31, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "I don't mind sharing with either, they're both cool!" Raven exclaimed.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:33, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "Fine, Raven, you're sharing with Kimi," she declared, sharing a small sideways smile at Sakura; one thing they had in common was how not keen they were on their eccentric cousin.

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 19:36, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "Woo, yeah! I can't wait to see them now!" Raven said. Suddenly their mother called from in the kitchen and asked Raven to come help her with something, "Ugh, I'll be back in a minute," Raven said, then she jumped up and left the other two on their own.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:38, December 1, 2014 (UTC) She shook her head. "Not really. I can hear Kimi from the Quidditch pitch, but Carmen stays hidden."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:44, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "That's one way to put it," she scoffed slightly. "Carmen isn't terrible, I guess. At least she's quiet."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:51, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "She looks like a bomb that's about to go off all the time," she said - she didn't hide her dislike for her cousin. "Someone just needs to defuse her."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 19:55, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "Does shoving a sock in her mouth count as nasty?" she asked sarcastically, then sighed, leaning against the foot of the couch. "What do you hope to get for Christmas?"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 20:01, December 1, 2014 (UTC) "Nothing, really," she shrugged. "Nothing big, anyway. I'm fine with what I have."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:14, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "Erm," she thought; she didn't really see anyone as a friend yet. "Not really. There's this girl, Jennie, I think, who likes fire, like me. And this little girl with an imaginary friend who keeps calling me Harp Girl."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:18, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "It was a short conversation," she said quietly. "Erm... she has a brother called Aiden."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:23, December 2, 2014 (UTC) She raised an eyebrow in disbelief. "According to Jennie, Aiden's a pathological liar."

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:27, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "How can a pathological liar be nice if you can't believe a word he's saying?" she said bluntly. "Unless you fancy him or something."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 16:29, December 2, 2014 (UTC) Raven walked back into the room, rolling her eyes as their mother said something to her from in the kitchen. "Who fancies who?" she asked with a grin as she sat back next to them.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:30, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "Sakura fancies this weirdo in her year," she said, grinning (quite meanly) at her sister blushing.

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 16:34, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "I'm sure he's not a weirdo," she said, looking a little disappointingly at Lilith. Sakura could fancy whoever she liked. She turned to face Sakura more, "What's he like? Tell us, pleeease!"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:35, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "He's a weirdo," she said, singing the last word. "Raven, would be able to trust a pathological liar?"

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 16:39, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "If Sakura wants to date a pathological liar then I don't see the problem with that," she grinned.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:44, December 2, 2014 (UTC) She sighed and lay back on the floor, comforted by the fire crackling. "Are you going to wake us all up at 5am tomorrow?"

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 16:48, December 2, 2014 (UTC) "Nah, I'll not be up at that time. I'll leave you all until 7am at the earliest," she laughed and then grinned more, "I'm so excited though!"

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:52, December 2, 2014 (UTC) She flashed a rare smile at Raven, but still shrugged nonchalantly. "I don't see why people get so happy about it. But I guess that's just me."

Raven Briar ☮ Ravenclaw Graduate ☮ Nerd ☮ Freelance Photographer ☮ -"I'd rather just be myself than be called normal"  – 16:57, December 2, 2014 (UTC) Raven pretended to look insulted, "Because it's Christmas and it's amazing!" she said just before the doorbell cut her off, "Hey, I bet that's Carmen and Kimi! I'll get it!" she called round the house as she got up and ran to do the door.

Lilith Briar - First year Gryffindor student • pyromaniac - "In many ways, I prefer my own company. It gives me time to think." Message Me - 16:58, December 2, 2014 (UTC) She suppressed a groan and sat up, not bothering to straighten her coat, and leaned against the bottom of the sofa, knowing she wasn't expected to be falsely nice for her cousins.
