Abby returns....

[cafpowgirl.livejournal.com]

She paused for a moment. Although she'd been here once before, Hogwarts was quite an imposing presence. But, they'd needed her back at NCIS, so she left reluctantly.  The situation had been resolved, and she'd requested a leave of absence. At first Jen wasn't going to let her go, but Gibbs convinced her. All her life, Abby'd put her faith in science, trusting that things could be explained logiccally through basic scientific principles. But now, there was magic. Magic, with wands, curses, charms, and owls delivering messages. If she hadn't came back, well, she'd spend the rest of her life asking 'what if'. Abby wasn't a what-if kind of girl. She believed in trying most things at least once, and some a lot more. Carrying her bag with her laptop, a case of Caf-Pow, and some other things, she stepped into the hallway and just paused. Drawing a deep breath, she couldn't help but feel excited. Who knew what would happen this time?

Morfin saw a new face! He waved excitedly. "Hi! I'm Morfin! I'm a Hufflepuff!"

She smiled, waving back at Morfin. "Hi. I'm Abby, and I believe I'm in Ravenclaw."

"It's nice to meet you, Abby! Do you need help carrying that?" Morfin gestured to the case of Caf-Pow. "Do you need help finding anything? I like helping people!"

[cafpowgirl.livejournal.com]

"You can carry the case, and thank you very much." She looked around again, before turning back to Morfin. "I just can't believe I'm back here. This place is so different from where I come from, it would be scary, if I scared easily."

Morfin took the case easily. "How's it different from where you come from? I think Hogwarts feels very safe, except when scary people are jumping from the ceiling."

"It's not so much that I think the place is scary, just that it's different." She paused, tilting her head to the side and watching Morfin. "Um, when scary people jump from the ceiling? What happened?"

Jack is hanging with his usual group of Slytherin fifth-year girls when he sees the front doors open and...
A GODDESS walks in!
Leaving his companions befuddled, Jack roughly elbows Morfin out of the way without so much as a word (goody-two-shoes-git), and plucks Abby's case from his hand. "My lady!" He exclaims with a deep bow, his dreadlocks brushing the stone floor, and then rising, "Captain jack Sparrow, at your most humble service! A woman--nay, goddess--such as yourself deserves a real escort, savvy? Don't believe I've seen you around here before, love. New to the school, are we?" Jack flashes his trademark mischievous (but ever-so-charming) grin, while lightly taking Abby's hand and giving it a quick, "respectful" kiss...

Morfin looks very hurt at being shoved. He sniffles a bit.

Abby tilted her head to the side watching Sparrow. He reminded her of Tony, trying to be charming.

"I'm Abby, Abby Sciuto. I was here briefly before and just got back, so yeah, I guess you could say I'm new."

Pulling her hand free from Jack's, she patted Morfin on the shoulder. "You know, Jack, you really shouldn't be rude to Morfin like that."

Jack looks deflated, and even cowers, ever so slightly, from Abby's withering look. "Erm... sorry... er... here," He replaces the case in Morfin's hand and pats Morfin on the shoulder, as Abby had. Seeing she was still irked, he turns to the man, "erm, sorry," he manages, with a weak grin. Then, turning back to Abbey, "So... er... ca I buy you a drink?" He looks hopeful... but doubtful...

Well, he did apologize, and he didn't seem like the type to spend a lot of time apologizing. But, that didn't mean she was going to fall for his roguish charm off the bat. She wasn't like those groupies he came through the door with.

"You can, but not now. I just got back." She smiled again, patting Jack's shoulder. "See, being nice isn't that bad, is it?"

[savvy-jack-s.livejournal.com]

"Nay, not at all, m'lady," Jack says in a slightly simpering tone. Gaining a little confidence now he continues, "And I'll hold y'to it! From the looks ofye, I'd peg for as a shoe-in for Ravenclaw. Perhaps Slytherin... but no, Ravenclaw. That's jolly good luck then, as it's me own house as well! Perhaps I can meet you at the bar there? Say tomorrow? Noonish? And I'm terribly sorry, love, but I'm afraid I never caught your name."
It occurs to Jack that she is most certainly not like those groupies he came through the door with, and she is playing hard to get.
...Which only makes him more determined...

Abby nodded. "I was sorted into Ravenclaw, as you were too, I see."

If there was one thing she'd noticed, it was that the bar was popular indeed. "Tomorrow around noon would be fine, especially since I have no classes yet. My name is Abby, Abby Sciuto."

((Abby will be there, but she may be blind, as a result of eating a bewitched chocolate. *grins*))

"Very well, Miss Abby! It's a date!" and Jack takes her hand and gives it a light kiss again before swaggering off, rather pleased with himself...

((Understandable. Jack will have something... odd abnout him as well, but I haven't decided what just yet...))
