oo9.

[ video || backdated to the morning of 12/08 ]

[For a moment, there's only the view of a closed door and the faint whispering of someone counting down. 'Three, two, one' - and the door is flung open to film one sleeping Ginny Weasley, but not for long. Immediately thereafter, fireworks start booming outside her window, brilliant lights and colors flashing across the room as George, Harry and Fred barge in, throwing confetti all about the room and cheering unintelligibly.

Ginny was fast asleep — in her own room, mind, not Harry's because she knows they would never have any peace and quiet otherwise - completely oblivious to the fact that Something Wicked This Way Comes. She isn't in a warzone, hasn't been in one for years; but when the room erupts in noise and light and maniacal laughter, she reacts...reflexively.

The youngest (not so youngest) Weasley bolts upright with her wand in hand before she's even entirely awake, firing off vicious hexes in the direction of the shadows moving in her bedroom. One of which being her signature Bat-Bogey Hex.]


EAT BOGIES, YOU BLOODY PIECE OF—

[Shouts and yelps as the highly deserving intruders attempt to evade her attacks. There's a shout - is that George? - to 'Retreat!' but the cameraman goes down, sending the device scattering off to the corner of the room to catch the tail end of Harry and George's escape as Fred rolls around on the floor, struggling with something on his face.]

... Fred? [This is what you get for surprising your sister. She makes an irritated noise and throws another hex his way for the trouble.] You arse!

[Fred barely manages the counter-spell in time to free his face from the bogeys and narrowly dodge the second attack, but he lays on the ground aching in pain anyway, laughing tiredly and dragging himself towards the device.]

Worth it. So bloody worth it.

There's surprises and there's ambushes.

'cause baby you're a firework

I don't know, maybe? They like calling us that, sometimes.

[PAUSE. And glare.]

D'you really want to find out?

Mine just happens to be hexing them to pieces.

The difference being...?

[ No really Fred, outside of dream sharing, it's not interesting at all -- and even dream sharing itself isn't a secret so much as the fact that she's someone who does it. ]

Well, I'm going to school in Paris, so it's a bit different than it would be stateside or in Britain. I think the basics are the same, though -- go to class, do your work and do it well, and you'll do okay. There's a lot to get done and the professors demand a lot, especially if you're going into something so hands-on, at least when it comes to classes. Outside of that... it depends on who you are, the people you meet, and where you are. It's the first time away from home for a lot of people and some of them go crazy. I'm still not sure how they can afford drinks on top of tuition, but... priorities, I guess.

Surprises are friendlier than ambushes?

[identity profile] branstark.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I like them! How does it work?

[identity profile] branstark.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He giggles.]

How many are you?

It's mainly potions work, with a little bit of charms for the tricky stuff.
boutant: ([default] just a crack)

[personal profile] boutant 2011-12-13 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not buying it.

[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com 2011-12-13 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true! Ambush has a...

[Think, Weasley, think.]

Negative connotation.
boutant: ([architect] what?)

[personal profile] boutant 2011-12-14 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's all perspective, I think.

[She gives him an amused smile.] Of course but I assure you I can handle cake and tea. Go enjoy tormenting your sister.

[identity profile] alwaysadoe.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I've it on good authority that that is a valid way of life.

[identity profile] branstark.livejournal.com 2011-12-14 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Which bits are tricky?

Everything is morbid curiousity with you.

[Aaaand sitting up, running a hand through incredibly massive sleep hair.]

So how mad have you made today's plans? Do I need to wear my Quidditch gear for protection?

[ Not interesting to her. Besides, good luck getting her to talk about dream sharing at all if there's no reason to bring it up. ]

Yeah. Pay to get a degree, use that degree to get a decent job so you can pay off your student loans...

[ She shrugs. ]

It's not great, but you do what you have to do.

[He smiles -- he knows that can't be true. Until he remembers that they're magic, so just about anything could be possible.]

For true?
