"Hmmmm yes, quite difficult, very sly and ambitious, not quite enough however, very witty and wise however Ravenclaw does not seem fit, kind and loyal, very hardworking, Hufflepuff would do you good, but you have bravery beyond measure, and a fierce passion for adventure, yes I see, better be...

HU-GRYFFINDOR!"
*************************************************

The first week of Pura's first year had been hectic, to say the least. Her first day was certainly one to be remembered and she forbid herself from thinking about the events of that day. Her classes were all fairly enjoyable (despite the irritating presence of her dickhead DADA teacher) surprisingly enough, they were slightly challenging but that was nothing a bit of studying couldn't fix. So far, her only homework had been practicing the levitation charm in Charms class, an essay on the rules of transfiguration, an essay on how to properly heat a cauldron for Potions and an essay on the properties of a defensive spell for DADA. She had mastered the levitation charm easy, but had yet to complete all of the essays which were due tomorrow.
It wasn't that Pura had trouble understanding the work or that she didn't know what to write, she was just focusing her attentions elsewhe.
Pura wanted to become an animagus. Solely to help Remus on full moons, but in her opinion, the entire concept of turning oneself into an animal was totally wicked, excuse the pun.

The mandrake leaf was folded into the corner of her mouth, Pura tried experimenting with the sticking charm to see if it would stick to the bottom of her tongue perhaps but there was no such luck. No one seemed to have noticed her lack of eating or her usually boisterous self being tamed.
Don't get her wrong, she loved eating and food and well, yeah, food, but the mandrake leaf spoiled the taste and she couldn't bare to waste food, so for the time being she was cutting down until she (hopefully) succeeds in becoming an animagus and is able to feast whenever and wherever she pleases.

Regulus had stayed true to his word, and despite being in rival houses, they remained best friends and were getting closer each day. Pura was extremely confused by the house rivalries and such, of course she'd read the history books and knew about Godric and Salazar, but she had no idea why that hadn't diminished already. It was an old fashioned belief, people were supposed to be more accepting..Merlin, Pura hated Prejudices.

One night whilst Pura was up late trying to finish some of her overdue homework, hair still damp from when she had re-dyed it, she came across a pair of twins, who obviously thought that they were sneaky, but really, all Pura could really describe them as were a headache in that moment, Of course, she had asked them, Politely, to quiet down whilst they were going about their business, however that just seemed to amuse them.

"Well Well, look who it is Gid, it's tiny blue Lupin!" Stated one twin, who was slightly taller than the other with messier hair.

"I had noticed, dear Fabian, but I must ask, what is thy Ickle firsty doing in the common room at two in the morning with..Eugh! Potions homework!"
Pura gave him a flat look, "Well you see, I've decided that I am utterly and wholly in love with this parchment, the ink upon it and all, so I was planning on serenading it and-"
Pura was abruptly cut off by the twins staring at her intently and grinning in synchronization.
"What the hell are you two doing and please stop doing it" Pura was starting to feel slightly uncomfortable under the twins' gaze, she shivered slightly, both due to being very creeped out and due to the fact that her Pajama shorts did not warm her at all.

"Tell me, Little Blue, are you-" the taller twin, Fabian, leaned in close to her and whispered "a prankster?"
Pura's ears perked up at the question, she and Remus often pranked each other when their parents were out of the house, needless to say, each and every one was well thought out and succesful.
"Why do you ask?" Pura countered, trying to mask how excited she was at the idea of playing pranks around the school.
