Astral plane, activate! (HH anniversary plot, RP open to all)

The Sorting Hat had been dabbling in way too many fringe philosophies. (Neo-Rosicrucianism? Really, Sorting Hat?) It seemed that puppet!Ron Weasley's name for it, Sorting Hat the Wise, had gone to the Hat's lack-of-visible-head.

On the morning of Dec. 13 (or was it the 14th?) the Hat's esoteric interests affected the school for the second time.

The first instance had been more than a year past, when the Hat took a cue from Rev. Sun Myung Moon and united most of the Hogwarts students in mass marriages. That had been a lengthy and concerted effort by the Hat and its house-elf minions, opposed vigorously by the wicked (or noble??) Kojiro. Kojiro's kidnapping of the Hat's bride had been something of a turning point for the headstrong headgear.

This new instance ... even Kojiro might be powerless to counter. And the Hat's agency would be difficult, if not impossible, to discern.

In a mighty magical working, the Hat projected many of the students ... to the astral plane, in their astral forms.

Astral Hogwarts resembled the real material Hogwarts (well, the Sorting Hat's version of material Hogwarts) very closely indeed. There were some dissimilarities: did Hogwarts, on the material plane, really sparkle so much? Were there so many rainbows in the sky, without a hint of rain to prompt their presence? Were there really pastel-colored unicorns frolicking on the grounds? Unicorns with hair made of cotton candy?

Could the students fly without brooms in material Hogwarts?

Other than that, it would be instantly recognizable as Hogwarts. The astral students would find nothing jarringly unfamiliar, being astral themselves. No disorientation, as there had been with the mass weddings; only a pleasant surprise, if they did happen to remember the absence of pastel unicorns and self-propelled flight.

Finally the Hat would have achieved paradise! Too bad not all the students could be brought into this happy realm. The Hat hadn't quite figured out how to bring everyone en masse. But many of them could be.

Including Kojiro, perhaps ...

Brice was well aware that he was a sexy, sexy beast. Today he decided to go strut his stuff at Hogwarts, which deserved his sexiness as a special treat for being a fun place. He had conveniently forgotten about his living girlfriend and almost sort of fiancée and was mooching (sexily) through the hallways of this new and much improved Hogwarts. He'd watched the unicorns for all of two seconds before deciding that they were uninteresting. He wanted to find something fun to do. Someone to be evil to. Or sexy. One of the two. That was all he was about, really.

Laura was interested in the unicorns. Their horns reminded her of something. She wished she could put her finger on it. Really, really wished that in fact.

"Hi there," she said as she brushed past Brice in the hallway.

He heard the new voice and turned, giving her a once-over of approval. Ah. A blonde. How lovely. Brice smirked.

"Well hello," he purred flirtily. "And how are you?"

What happens on the astral plane stays on the astral plane. And he may or may not remember this tomorrow.

"Ohh, I'm real good," she said suggestively. "Even when I'm bad. Yourself?"

"At my best when I'm bad, sweetheart." If he'd been smoking, he would have blown out some smoke in a suitably bad-boyish way right now.

This had tons of promise. He wondered what she was like in bed, and pondered how long it had been since he'd had a blonde. Probably, oh, at least twenty minutes. He didn't remember one, but surely, there must have been. The thought of Brice spending any amount of time alone in bed was preposterous.

Oh, Laura liked this guy. He reminded her of James Hurley...if, y'know, James had ever actually grown a pair.

"Really," she sighed. "Now I bet that's something to see..."

"It is." He raised a suggestive eyebrow. "You think you could handle it?"

"Yeah, I think I could handle it," Laura tossed back, lifting her chin and cocking one hip out saucily.

Brice smirked. "Then I think we should talk in private." He held out his arm to her. Just because you were evil didn't mean you couldn't also be a gentleman, when it suited your own purposes of course. He wasn't entirely sure where they'd go for this private discussion. Probably the closest possible place, like a broom cupboard or something.

((Do you want to RP this out, or shall we just assume it's painfully obvious what they went to do? For me it doesn't really matter. =) ))

Laura took his arm. "Privacy's nice. Not, like, totally necessary, but it's nice."

She smiled up at him and let him lead her down the hall to...wherever. And whatever.
