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

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

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 ...

Daisy sighs, rolling her eyes and turns to the small boy. Her eyes wash over his body and her face drops. "Well, yes dear, you are very pregnant. Unfortunately, you're rather annoying crying like that, maybe if you stop, someone would help you get rid of that thing." She takes a sip of her gin and tonic, wincing a little bit, "A little hard on the tonic, not enough gin. You want it?" She offers it to the boy and fakes a smile, laughing internally at herself.

"What's your name anyways, little pregnant boy?"

He covered his belly with his hands and turned away at Daisy's suggestion. "my Babiez! no! I wnt let u hurt them! They r twins!" Wolfram's eyes glimmered with some unspoken emotion, because the emotion was too deep and too complex to be put into words!

"There names ar Jasmine Sleeping Beauty and Princess Aurora Belle!" A rosy-pink blush descended on his silky cheeks as the beauty covered his pert limps. "Brother must NEVER know!"

Daisy tilts her head down in an 'are you fucking serious' manor, and closes her eyes, furrowing her brow. "Of course this would have found me, especially when I'm looking for someone who deserves me." She downs her drink in one sip, and stares back at the bump protruding from the boy's stomach.

"Those are the most ridiculous names I've ever heard. Princess Aurora Belle? Really? No one should call their child Princess, even if they are a princess!"

"They R a princess!" Wolfram howled, before realizing his fatal error. Once against his alluring face was covered with gentle hands, not calloused despite over fifty years of horse-back riding and swordplay. For after all, can an angel truly feel pain?

Yes. God have mercy on us all, yes they can.

"Yuuri mustnt nooooo~ D:"

Daisy's headache wails in her head, and grinds her teeth. "Okay! Okay fine! Your babies are princesses! Whoever Yuri is, won't find out! I won't tell! Just please keep it down! I have a bloody headache the size of New York!" She snaps for another gin and tonic, and begins sipping again, hoping that the alcohol will take away the pain soon enough.

Beautiful Wolfram then continued to wail in the corner. Beautifully.
