she blinks, unsure if she got that right. “ you have two dads? ” she asks bluntly, curious and surprised to say the least.

Helios laughed at how surprised the girl sounded, and nodded. “Yep. That’s my family. Two dads. No mom. One very cool dog. One angry owl. And me, the boy wonder,” he joked.

elenavera:

Elena offered the other a shrug. She leaned on her chair, while her fingers tapping against the surface of the table. Nonsense is the way to put it, as though the subject in particular was never part of her forte. She’d rather be somewhere else, than being here.

“–Sadly, yes. I don’t think we have much choice either.”

Helios sighed, resting his head on the table as he listened to the professor drone on and on. “Do they make you do Divination at Ilvermorny?” He asked, turning his head to look at her from where he was still resting it on the table.

she giggles, giving another shrug. “ unhelpful like this class, ” she mumbles, a small grin on her lips. she takes into account what he says, giving a small sound of understanding. “ at least it’s not as weird as the other durmstrang boys, ” she replies. 

“ i thought you’d sound like them, considering you’re one of them. ”

Helios chuckled under his breath at her words, not even minding the dirty look the professor shot their way at their chattering. “Thanks. I have a German accent when I speak...well...German, but my English is Canadian. Perks of having a Canadian dad and a German dad, I guess.”

Asher sat hunched over a piece of parchment, scribbling away as the teacher droned on about tea leaves. To everyone else it looked like he was taking very intense notes, but if you managed to get a look at the piece of parchment on his desk you would see he had drawn a picture of a hippogriff, and was now labeling the different parts of it’s body. Asher didn’t care about divination, he didn’t care about most of his classes really, but he went to them in order to avoid causing any problems. 

Caught off guard by the male’s decision to talk to him, Asher quickly dropped his quill before hastily covering the piece of parchment with his arms. It took a few seconds for the other male’s question to register in his mind, but when it finally did he found himself letting out a small laugh. “I think divination professors are a tad delusional in thinking their students actually care about the lesson,” he responded with a small laugh. 

Helios raised an eyebrow, entertained by how frantically the other male covered the parchment on his desk. He craned his neck, trying to catch sight of what he’d been doing. “Some people actually seem to believe in this nonsense,” he said, shaking his head in the direction of a few girls that were staring at the professor, enraptured with her every word. 

He bit his lip, and then mischievously darted one hand out to grab at the parchment, pulling it onto his own desk, and then examining it carefully, fascinated with the amount of detail that had gone into the drawing. “So you’re into animals then?”

    “You really aren’t selling me on it. Faux things sound as terrible as I imagine they would be…” he shrugged, assuming such things had to be created by muggle and he truly had no biased about that he equally had no understanding of it. The muggle world was always a poor experssion in his house hold, even if the times had made what his mother would describe as ‘soft’. “But–” he jumped in on himself, to somewhat contradict his previous statemnet, “cream and sugar can save almost anything. That’s how I take my tea, two sugars though.” He straightened up as the professor glanced over at their directions, covering up his total lack of classroom etiquette. Taking a moment to flip through pages of his divination volume until he looked away again, Orion couldn’t help but enjoy his banter with the other boy. He definitely wasn’t someone he graviated to—as if he was English he’d definitely be a Qudditch-Mate aka bit of a tosser if he was being judgemental that is. Though for the moment he was a nice distraction from Fate and Destiny. 

    “Probably nothing but easy O I guess.” shrugging, “My parents are Pureblooded and though things have changed they like to keep the dislike of muggles more privately than outwardly.” he made a face, his body langauge speaking volumes of how opposite he felt on the topic, “But when I graduate I plan on staying somewhere muggle for a bit. Just to say I have.” 

He shook his head, holding a hand to his chest. “You wound me, nonbeliever,” he said jokingly. He supposed everyone had their certain specific cultural things that they felt were sacred that most people that were gross. He’d talked to one of the Australian students the other day, and he’d been offered Vegemite and it tasted like motor oil. When he’d complained, they’d acted like he was insane. Still...he wasn’t making it up. Iced Caps were legitimately good. “Sugar is wonderful and if I had to cut it out of my life I would literally die,” he said seriously. He bit back a laugh at the look the professor shot their way, not even ashamed of his total lack of attention. Hey, if she couldn’t bother to make class interesting, he wasn’t going to pretend it was.

“Normally I’d be down for an easy class but I just feel like it’d feel condescending to have someone lecturing me on people like my papa like they're some sort of exotic bird or something,” he said, wrinkling his nose at the thought. “My dad’s a wizard though so I get the best of both worlds back home.” When the other boy mentioned his family’s attitude towards muggles, he couldn’t help but tense up, defensiveness flaring up in him despite the fact that he could tell the Hogwarts student was uncomfortable with his family’s stance. “Don’t take this the wrong way but your family can choke,” he said, frowning.

    He had no idea what a Tim Hortons was nor did he really care, but Orion couldn’t hide his face as the other insulted tea. “Well I rather drink leaf water, as you so eloquent put it than your Cap-whatever. Or—” grinning, “bean water as you might put it.”  Ivermorny students were so interesting to him, as they seemed like they wanted nothing more than to be opposite of Hogwarts students; of most of the UK. History might have explained it but he shrugged it off, putting down his pen and kept whispering to the other from the third to last table in the back. 

    “Waste of time, maybe, it’s not that terrible but you are in UK now. We have a whole ministry department devoted to prophecies…so just sit back and accept the long year.” This wasn’t like him to be distracted in class but it was Divinations after all, so he’d let it slide, “Muggle studies sounded interesting but I’d probably fail at it since I’ve never been there before. So…but I agree, I rather this be elective to.” 

Orion wrinkled his nose and shook his head, certain he looked as disgusted and offended as he was feeling in the heat of the moment. “I’ll have you know, I also do not let bean water within an inch of me either, thank you. An Iced Cap is the perfect blend of ice, cream, sugar, and a faux coffee extract that is nothing like real coffee and tastes infinitely better. It’s all iced caps during the day, and alcohol at night for me,” he said, mouth curling up into something amusing. It was tragic, in his opinion, that so much of the world was deprived of the goodness and trashiness that was Tim Hortons and by extension it’s Iced Caps. He was half-certain the reason his parents had picked Canada over Germany to live in was because his papa would straight up leave his dad if he tried to take his Tim Hortons away from him. Helios could certainly relate to that.

He tried to follow the other male’s instructions, looking back over to the professor, but she didn’t seem to have moved on from her point at all, and he could already feel his eyes glazing over. “My papa’s a muggle so it’d be a bit of a fluke for me to be in that class. What exactly am I gonna study?”

[heliosth]

orion-cxrrow:

     Orion didn’t love Divinations but it was part of his cirriculm until next year, when he’d ultimately drop it, but until then he aimed to excel—even if certain aspects of the magical art seemed like spouted ideas of crazy people. He was about half way through jotting down a sentence, something about manifested destiny, when a voice pulled him away from his page. He had a deep tone, definitely not from his school.

     “I mean yes if you tried.” Orion didn’t mean to sound harsh, just offered some truth. “I mean.” he tried back peddling, “No and yes, the professor is fairly subjective so normally you can bullshit through the course work.”flashing the transfer a soft smile. 

Helios looked over to the male sitting next to him in interest. A Hogwarts student, by the looks of it. He shrugged at what he thought might be a jab but also didn’t sound like was meant to be a jab.

“I just don’t see why I’m supposed to put so much stock in the sky or in what my tea says. I don’t even like tea. Why should I drink it just so that my future can supposedly be spelled out for me? It’s leaf water. Give me an Iced Cap from Tim Hortons over that any day,” he said, grinning and then shaking his head. “I just feel like this class is a waste of time. It should be an elective like muggle studies is or something.”

mckenzie-rivers:

kenzie snaps toward the direction of the voice – having been broken out of her reverie. she has been staring at a particular spot on the board for almost the entire period, finding herself somewhat out-of-body as the class progressed. 

“ we’re supposed to follow but that doesn’t entirely mean we have to understand, ” she replies with a shrug. she tilts her head to the side, giving him a look.

 “ you sound funny. ”

Helios furrowed his brow and shook his head, unsure if the girl was being metaphorical or if the point of the class really was thats they weren’t supposed to understand. “That’s not very helpful,” he muttered. At the comment about his accent, he grinned and shrugged. “It’s Canadian. Doesn’t sound weird to me but I guess I wouldn’t know, would I?”

Helios jerked up from where he’d slumped over on his desk, and blinked tiredly in the direction of the Divination professor. She was saying something about fate and destiny but he couldn’t be bothered to figure out the finer details. He just wanted to go back to the Durmstrang dormitories to sleep.

He turned to the person next to him. “Are we supposed to be able to follow this nonsense?” He mumbled, yawning.

Hello this is my excuse to bring in an obnoxious Canadian to this rp thanks, it’s pure self-indulgence. Anyways, hello this is my new son Helios. He’s a good guy but probably drinks too much and definitely gets into too many fights. He’s an impulsive spitfire and he’s definitely a punch first, talk later kind of guy. He is also very obnoxious about sports, both magical and muggle, so when he’s not nursing a black eye or really wasted he’s either talking, playing or reading about either Quidditch or ice hockey. He plays as chaser and centre respectively.

He has two dads, a Canadian muggle and a German wizard. They met when Soren was working in Canada on an Auror mission. He saved Elijah during an anti-Muggle attack by a group of dark wizards, and though he initially had obliviate him because of regulations, Elijah had sparked his interest so he tracked him down again and asked him out for coffee. The two got to know each other, and kept in touch even when Soren had to return to Germany, and eventually started dating. Soren moved permanently back to Canada and revealed his magic to Elijah and restored the memory of the attack he’d obliviated from his mind, so that he’d know about their real first meeting.

They married and settled down in Canada and eventually decided to have a child via a surrogate. Elijah loved Soren’s magic so he asked his husband to be the biological father and they went to a wizarding surrogacy agency. They asked the identity of the egg donor to remain unknown so to this day, they have no idea whether Helios is a halfblood or a pureblood, and quite frankly they don’t care and neither does he.

When Elijah was 11, he received letters from both Ilvermorny, and Durmstrang, and he decided on the latter because it’s where his father had attended. Generally he likes school, even if he kind of hates being cooped up in class, but he hates the way a lot of the culture at Durmstrang still relies on looking down on muggles, and he thinks the fact that they don’t allow Muggleborns in to be ridiculous. He’s also not shy about how much he embraces both his muggle and magical sides, so he’s prone to getting into arguments and fights with his peers about his upbringing and interests.

He’s also very jock-y but he’s got a heart of gold, don’t get me wrong, even if his impulsive nature and tendency to run his mouth and throw himself headfirst into fights might make you think otherwise. He’s also a polar bear animagus because as soon as he found out it was possible to make it permanently possible to turn himself into an animal at will, he absolutely had to do it immediately. You can imagine the delight and the chaos that ensued the first time he tried to change and he became a goddamn giant white bear. He uses this ability for benevolent purposes. Mostly.
