who Michael and... Anyone... please
where Flourish and Blotts
when 29 Feb 1999 around 6ish
status Incomplete
rating G
Sometimes Ravenclaws needed a book break. Other people needed coffee or alcohol or quidditch (well, all right, Michael could have used a good pick up game, but there weren't very many to play with in Hogsmeade), most Ravenclaws needed books. Michael and Anthony's room was nearly full of books, and Michael had taken to rotating their stock with his bookshelves at his parents house. He'd just finished his last, though, and there was nothing appealing in his bookshelf. He didn't feel right borrowing books from Hogwarts library anymore, so he'd given in to the need to apparate to Flourish and Blotts after work to replenish their book choices.
He pushed open the door and stepped out of the way, between the shelves, before pausing to inhale sharply. Paper and ink and newly unread books. He could never get enough of that smell. It was just as good as the smell of ancient tomes. He couldn't wipe the contented smile off his face as he began wandering up and down the aisle. Occasionally, he would reach out, fingers brushing against a spine almost tenderly, as he considered selecting a book, but he invariably moved on. He had plenty of time to wander and make the perfect selections.

Who: Anthony the Angry & Michael the Not-So-Much
When: After the graffiti incident, sometime Sunday
Where: Corridors
Rating: TBD
Status: Incomplete!
It was a weekend and that meant that Anthony wasn't getting out of bed for anything. When he had an opportunity to sleep in, he usually took it. However, that also meant that he not only missed breakfast, but also found out later than most of the school about the graffiti in the Entrance Hall. Sure, it had been talked about at the meeting, but, well, he knew who had done it. Talking about it in the meeting was one thing, but... Suddenly changing his mind about going to get food in the Great Hall, he turned around and instead went looking for Michael.
Finding him wandering one of the corridors, possibly heading back towards the Common Room or Library or somewhere, Anthony came up behind him and promptly sent a none-too-playful punch at Michael's arm. "Why did you do that?" He kept his voice low, even though they were currently alone in the corridor.

who: Ginny and the DA
what: Ginny informs them of her brillant plan.
when: after dinner on 08 Jan 1998
where: ROR
rating: G, for now
status: C O M P L E T E (OMG... what?!)
Her plan was only half-formed, but she'd talked it over with Draco, and it seemed like a viable plan. To an extent. As long as she didn't get murdered. Either way, it was better than nothing. Someone in the DA (she was fairly certain it was Justin) had managed to get parchments onto every desk in every classroom. That was a damn impressive feat, and she wondered if he hadn't enlisted the help of the house elves to manage it.
She took a deep breath as she entered the Room of Requirement, making sure to control it so that no one but a DA member could enter. Bending the room to her needs was key. She made sure to shut the door behind her, and settled in for the others to join her. Her plan was simple and direct. The meeting shouldn't take long.

Who: Professor Sinistra, Morag MacDougal, Ginny Weasley and Michael Corner
When: just after daytime classes end, Jan 8th
Where: Professor Sinistra's office
Rating: G
Status: Incomplete
It never ceased to amaze her, how each year certain students connected with her. However, without doubt the current crop of seventh years felt to her to be the closest things to her own children that Aurora felt she would ever have. There were more than a few in the sixths that she had the same maternal feelings towards. She hated lying to them, but she had felt it was for their own safety. She only hoped that she wan't too late in showing them that they had her support. Morag MacDougal was the only student of the ones she knew had been crucio'ed that she had invited to this. Her talk with Hannah Abbott earlier in the year seemed forced to her, and Justin Finch--Fletchley's attitude in class seemed to bely a reluctance to talk about the issue. She foresaw having several more of these little meetings with small groups of students. There was only one Slyherin was was going to dare to approach, and that was going to be a private meeting.
She had not heard from either Michael or Ginny, which was unusual for both of them. Perhaps with their prefect duties, they had been too busy to reply.
She made sure that everything was ready for when the students arrived, and that her normally cluttered sitting room was neat and tidy. As usually, her globe of the heavens with its twinkling stars was happily spinning in its normal place, next to what Aurora now knew was the last picture she'd taken with Charity Burbage.

Who: Anthony and Michael
Where: The Corner Residence
When: New Year's Eve
Rating: TBD
Status: INCOMPLETE
The past few days had seen things settle back into normal between he and Michael, though little things had changed. What Michael had said hadn't been brought up again, but there had been some moments when it seemed like it would be. Much speculation was brought up about the gender of Anthony's cat, but he refused to let anyone check, though he was fairly certain that it was a boy. Again, however, that was just a guess.
Speaking of the kitten, it was curled up in Anthony's lap, looking asleep, but still purring away. He'd hardly let the thing out of his sight since Michael had given it to him. Why hadn't he had a cat before then, exactly? The world may never know.
It was New Year's Eve, but still fairly early in the evening. Anthony had been somewhat more quiet than usual, and after dinner, he had excused himself to Michael's room, where he was currently seated on the cot that had been set up for him when he first arrived here. However, his gaze had landed on Michael's bed, vaguely noting that it hadn't been made that morning. Though, as the door was pushed open, he tore his gaze off of it and glanced over at the door.

who Anthony and Michael
where The Corner Residence - Michael's room
when Christmas Eve... early...
why to exchange gifts... and... we'll see
rating PG+?
status INCOMPLETE
Michael had felt bad about giving Anthony the same quill and ink set he'd gotten everyone; well, save for the fact he'd bothered to pick out individual quills for all his friends. Still, he'd wanted something to give Anthony at the Ravenclaw pre-hol party without giving away what his real gift was.
Getting the real gift had proven difficult. He'd purchased it a week ago, via owl with the proprietor of Magical Menagerie, and asked them to hold it until Christmas Eve, when he could pick it up. He'd woken early and apparated to Diagon Alley to pick up the Seal Point kitten and all of the things he'd needed for Anthony's new pet. He had to be quick, because Anthony normally awoke soon after Michael did. He apparated back, kitten and supplies in hand, hoping he'd managed to make it before Anthony was fully coherent.
