Coming into spring camp, Stave finds himself behind the curve after being sidelined for most of winter recovering from a shoulder injury sustained in the bowl game. Stave, the incumbent starter, will have his work cut out for him with three scholarship quarterbacks and a talented walk-on in Wisconsin's spring camp.
In his absence, the competition will be fierce between young, athletic quarterbacks, something head coach Gary Andersen used at Utah State.
The 6-6 McEvoy showed his athleticism enough to get on the field, playing in 11 games while making three starts at safety. McEvoy is a mobile quarterback that would ideally be suited for Wisconsin's offense. Outside Stave, McEvoy may be the most game-ready quarterback the Badgers have on the roster. Time will tell if he can learn quick enough to get the nod.
Bart Houston has been in the system the second-longest of the batch of quarterbacks. Coming off a shoulder injury, Houston is ready to prove his throwing ability and has learned the intricate details of the playbook after studying with sixth-year senior Curt Phillips for much of last season.
Near the bottom of the depth chart are redshirt freshman Connor Senger and true freshman D.J. Gillins. Senger and Gillins both fit the mold for Wisconsin's offense. Senger is a redshirt freshman so this will be his first chance to compete in camp after running the scout team offense last season.
Gillins enrolled early at Wisconsin to get a jumpstart on the playbook. Gillins threw for 76 touchdowns during his prep career, not to mention running for 13 others, and appears to be fully recovered from the ACL injury he suffered at the beginning of the 2012 season.
Both players could be compared to a raw version of former UW quarterback Russell Wilson, which may help them get the nod over Houston and Stave if they can pick up the offense quickly.
-Erik Lewis
2) How does the secondary improve after falling apart in the final two games of the season?
With the amount of defensive personnel departures off last year's team, Wisconsin's unit will need plenty of new bodies stepping into bigger roles. But while the secondary returns a good portion of last year's contributors, that group might need to make the biggest leap forward in terms of production.
Wisconsin finished 17th in the country in pass defense last season (202.5 yards per game), a misleading statistic considering how poorly they played against above-average quarterbacks against Arizona State, Ohio State, Penn State and South Carolina.
With the offense being a story in itself the final two games of the season, the major lapses in the game came from the secondary play of the Badgers. In the regular season finale against the Nittany Lions, the Badgers were poised to complete a 10-win season under first year coach Gary Andersen, but Penn State completely stunned the Camp Randall crowd by putting up 339 passing yards on only 21 receptions by the team, including three receptions of 50 plays or longer.
The story for the Capitol One Bowl was exactly the same with the secondary gave up a blistering 321 passing yards on 23 total receptions. This time around, the Badgers gave up two plays longer than 39 yards.
The secondary was always being questioned, especially at the beginning of the 2013 because of their inexperience with only one returning starter in Dezmen Southward. The Badgers will luckily have more experience this upcoming season with cornerbacks Sojourn Shelton, Darius Hillary and Peniel Jean to name a few. Shelton gained valuable experience by starting every game his freshman season, but has plenty of "freshman mistakes" that he will need to work on this spring.
The Badgers will also need to rely on help from redshirt sophomores Nate Hammon and Leo Musso considering Southward has graduated, Michael Caputo has moved to outside linebacker and Tanner McEvoy is working at quarterback.
UW needs to increase its speed, agility and aggressiveness. If the Badgers can even eliminate one or two of these big plays a game, they will be a whole different team from a defensive aspect.
-Chris Fowler
3) Can any of the four early enrollees (Michael Deiter, Jaden Gault, Gillins and Austin Hudson) play an early impact on the team?
Over the last two recruiting cycles, Wisconsin has seen parts of its recruiting classes enroll early. In 2012 Hugs Etienne, Vonte Jackson and Dan Voltz enrolled early and in the 2013 class Keelon Brookins and Sojourn Shelton were early enrollees. Those five all benefited from enrolling early in one way or the other if it was to help heal an injury, gain weight or get a jump on possible early playing time.
Wisconsin's four early enrollees from this year's class are no different, as all are physically ready and mature enough to start their college careers. With those four enrolling early, they have set themselves up to succeed and possibly see the field early on in their careers.
Gault and Deiter both in particular have a chance to see the field early, will get plenty of reps during spring camp and have a chance to appear in the two deep. The coaches plan on holding out Dallas Lewallen and Voltz during spring camp so they can nurse their injuries. The coaches will also limit Kyle Costigan and Rob Havenstein reps. With how thin the line will be during spring camp, Gault and Deiter will have a chance to work with the number one unit and gain some valuable reps.
"With Jaden (Gault) and Michael (Deiter) coming in at the break for the semester, already being involved in the program, they have a tremendous opportunity to do that," Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen said during national signing day. "Jaden will be in the mix. Michael may be the starting center with the injuries at this point to Dan (Voltz) and to Dallas (Lewallen). So that is a tremendous opportunity for a young freshman at the center spot. Very challenging, but a great opportunity."
Gault will start out at tackle and even if he doesn't get as many first team reps as Deiter, he has a good frame at 6-6 and 310 pounds to be able to compete. Gault displays a good punch off the line and he has consistently shown that he can get leverage at the line of scrimmage.
As Andersen said with Lewallen and Voltz being out it will allow Deiter to be the number one center. The center position may not necessarily be the position that best suits Deiter, who may be more of a natural guard, but with him learning multiple positions it will help him down the line if an injury occurs.
Gillins and the rest of the quarterbacks will be the focal point until Wisconsin plays LSU in the season opener. Gillins coming in a semester early gives him a better chance of being the starter or being the backup. He's still raw as a prospect and needs to work on his mechanics, but has abilities with his legs the other UW quarterbacks don't have. The more realistic option with Gillins is if offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig develops some sort of special package for him to run, something similar to the barge that Wisconsin has run over the last two years.
Hudson might struggle to crack the two deep at safety due to how deep the position is but what helps him is that Dave Aranda enjoys utilizing safeties in his defense. Last year alone Aranda used up to five safeties in a game in different packages that were interchangeable.
But with McEvoy getting another chance at quarterback and Caputo moving to the field outside linebacker spot, it does allow Hudson a chance to see some playing time early. Even if he can't crack the two deep, he could be an asset to Wisconsin on special teams, where he can utilize his athleticism.

Twenty five years ago, Percy Jackson made a deal with the gods. This deal sealed the fate of every demigod once they hit the age of 13. The minor gods were to be respected much more and given a throne on Olympus as well as a cabin at Camp Half Blood. For twenty years this deal kept hold and the gods never broke the promise, but gradually, half-bloods stopped getting claimed, and demigods are trickling into camp at ages as old as 17, if they even survived that long.
"The gods have become forgetful like they always have been and always will be. No one, not even the great Percy Jackson can change that."
It took five years for the minor gods to slowly lose their power on Olympus. Once there was no turning back for the Olympians, Nemesis led a quick yet nearly harmless attack on Camp. She and many other minor gods snatched away every child that wasn't offspring from the Olympians and ever demigod that had yet to be claimed. Along with them they managed to take three others. These three half-bloods were some of the most respected and well known at camp, and not necessarily for good reasons.
Now, an unfortunate few may have to embark on a dangerous and confusing quest to find these three demigods. Because the gods have now shut themselves off from the world, it is up to the camp to set things right. The gods may never admit it, but they would never survive without heroes. This may have to come down to the point when gods and half-bloods work together to set things right. If only the gods could find a way to do exactly that without starting a whole other war amongst themselves…

Alright--First off great site glad yall put this together and thanks for any and all help.
I picked up a 84 2door LWB trooper. It has A/C and cruise no lie. G200Z 1.9 MSG4 speed and whatever variant the cast iron transfer case is.
I picked this thing up in Waco with a buddy. I had a Uhaul trailer sorted with full intentions of towing it back to East Tx. The guy running the office had other plans that day besides being at work. The Trooper is all set up to flat tow but i didn't have any lights to use for that. My buddy looked at me and said hell let's drive it. K let's roll 3hr drive back at 63 purring and loving it. These things are cool and fun. I picked it up to teach my 14 yr old son to learn stick and off-road enjoyment. Already having fun with it.
All the fun aside it has been somewhat neglected. It was a ranch wagon for some old boys. I am having some trouble finding what fluids are required to service in the trans and transfer case. I figure 85-90w in the diffs. I am concerned about finding some parts for these very early troopers. Where can i find half shafts that do not cost over $300. I may need a carrier bearing shortly. I gave $700 for this thing and want to keep it what it is. I have a Jeep thats pig heavy and one ton'd out. I do not want to do that to this thing. Lower gears in the transfer case would be nice. What i have read the cast iron ones mated to the msg4 have around a 2.0-1 case 3 or lower would be nice. Are you able to swap one of the aluminum variants and run the ind4x gears behind the msg4. I would also like to swap to manual hubs if at all possible for the corporate 8 bolt. I have seen where some folks do a brake upgrade. Is that an easier more cost efficient way to source new half shafts and selectable hubs? 31-9.5's are all i plan to run. I understand swapping motors and mau5s are what a lot of people do but the 1.9 with the stock hitachi is pretty badass. We had a day where it was 19 ambient and some nasty wind the thing fired right up no problem. I don't really want to mess with a good thing. I want my son to enjoy it at least for a while. He will get the bug one day like the rest of us do!!!

Mumford and Sons is back with Mumford and Sons tickets for a new tour schedule and the albumBabel. The quartet has returned with its harmonies and seemingly endless array of string instruments to prove the first album is not its last big hit. They hope to walk away with not only more platinum, but with a few more Grammy nominations to add to their legacy.
Each of the group members is a multi-instrumentalist. Marcus Mumford is a singer, guitarist, drummer, and mandolin player. Ben Lovett is a singer, keyboard player, accordion player, drummer, and electric guitarist, Country Winston Marshall is a singer, banjo player, dobro player, and electric guitarist. Ted Dwane is a singer, double bass player, bass guitarist, drummer, and guitarist. Originally, these four were part of the westLondonfolk scene, serving as the backup band to Laura Marling.
They had greater ambitions though. With Marcus the most prominent of the musicians and the most ambitious, acting as the de facto manager, they sought out a name that typified the folk and blue grass sound. Mumford and Sons was chosen because it sounded like a family business of ole. The group acted as a family unit, taking to the road to play concert dates throughoutLondonand the greaterUKand across the Atlantic Ocean in the United States.
All this hard work would pay off after the release of Sigh No More. The debut album would quickly find its way onto a number of critics best of the year list. The song "Little Lion Man" proved the most radio friendly, thanks to the particular emphatic use of acoustic string instruments. "The Cave", a song inspired by Plato's famed Allegory of the Cave. Just to round out the ancient work theme, a few allusions to Homer's Odyssey and The Iliad are added for good measure.
With Mumford and Sons back promoting a new album, fans are looking forward to Mumford and Sons concert tickets for a tour taking place much larger venues through the United Kingdom and North America. Particularly, the East Coast has an affinity for the band, as this region seems to be the stewards of the continuation of the folk rock movement.

Pizza Box
Definition - What does Pizza Box mean?
A pizza box is the rectangular-shaped box in which a computer server is enclosed. It is a horizontally placed framework, usually with a number of similar servers along with it. The term 'pizza box' is used because the casing of the server closely resembles the thin size and shape of a pizza box, hence the name.
Techopedia explains Pizza Box
Pizza boxes are largely employed in data centers owing to their high computing power and stackability. These were primarily designed to be put onto shelves, often in a 19-inch typical rectangular box but sometimes the servers were larger, so the box had to be cut off in order to fit them. Since the dot com boom (late 1990s), pizza box servers have become a crucial part of web data centers and industrial applications where rack space and density is an important deciding factor in choosing the right server.

Read's 1st hat trick leads Flyers rout
Associated Press | Last updated January 27, 2013
Matt Read notched his first career hat trick -- and thought it came pretty easily. Read helped Philadelphia beat the Florida Panthers 7-1 on Saturday night, the Flyers' second straight win after losing their first three games of the season. Wayne Simmonds, Tye McGinn, Luke Schenn, and Ruslan Fedotenko also scored for the Flyers, and Ilya Bryzgalov had 30 saves. ''It's pretty special getting your first hat trick,'' Read said. ''I'm the beneficiary of playing with two good guys (Claude Giroux and Simmonds on his line). It's pretty easy when you're playing with two good players and you just be at the right spot at the right time and just do the little things right and good things are going to happen.'' Peter Mueller scored for the Panthers and Scott Clemmensen stopped 13 shots in relief of Jose Theodore, who was pulled after allowing three goals on nine shots in the first period. The Panthers have lost four straight after winning their season opener. They have been outscored 18-2 in that stretch. ''It doesn't feel like I scored after a game like that,'' Mueller said. ''It's tough to take anything positive out of it. The good news is we have a couple days off to really figure out what's going on and stop the bleeding and that's exactly what we're going to do.'' The Flyers won their fourth straight game at Florida. Read's third goal came less than a minute into the final period on a shot from the slot that beat Clemmensen on the glove side and made it 6-1. Fedotenko scored later in the third to make the score 7-1. Three goals were scored during 4-on-4 play in the last 90 seconds of the second period - two by the Flyers, who led 3-0 at the time. Read's second goal of the game came on a shot from the left circle that floated past Clemmensen at 18:34 to make it 4-0. The Panthers answered on Mueller's goal about 30 seconds later. Mueller skated in on Bryzgalov and beat him stick side. Schenn scored with 13 seconds left in the period on a shot from the blue line that trickled between Clemmensen's pads to stretch the lead to 5-1. ''It was good to score goals. They've been hard to come by so far this year,'' Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. ''To put up a bunch of them was good for our team.'' Panthers coach Kevin Dineen was clearly not pleased with the loss at home. ''We weren't good in net tonight. Our defense was atrocious,'' Dineen said. ''We're a bunch of individuals right now. We don't have the chemistry to play as a team. You know what, I hate sitting here in one of these things and beating up on your people. It's stupid.'' Dineen then ended the press conference abruptly. The Flyers took a 1-0 lead on a 5-on-3 power play goal by Simmonds at 3:10 in. Read's first goal put the Flyers up 2-0 at 7:12 when his slap shot from the right circle caromed off the post and into the net. Philadelphia went ahead 3-0 on McGinn's goal at 18:50. ''Not many games you can score seven goals,'' McGinn said. ''We've been struggling for goals and to have an outbreak like that, it's a great thing for the team. We need to carry it over now.'' Notes: Flyers C Danny Briere made his season debut Saturday after missing the first four games with a hairline fracture of the left wrist. ... RW Mike Knuble played his first game after signing a one-year contract Friday. ... Panthers F Tomas Fleischmann suffered a cut on the top of his foot during Thursday's 3-1 loss to Ottawa, but played Saturday. ... Florida recalled C Quinton Howden from AHL San Antonio on Friday and he made his NHL debut Saturday.

Doha, Mar 12: The world's most expensive rug is expected to fetch 20 million dollars when it goes under the hammer later this month, The Telegraph reports.
The Pearl Carpet of Baroda was created using an estimated two million natural seed pearls farmed from the Arabian Gulf.
It has a starting price of five million dollars and will become a record breaker if it sells, beating the 4.45 million dollars paid for a silk Persian rug in New York, at Christies, in 2008.
Sotheby's will handle the sale of the spectacular rug and the auction will be the first for their new offices in Doha in Saudi Arabia.
Commissioned by the Maharaja of Baroda in India in the 18th century, the Pearl Carpet is also embossed with gold set diamonds, rubies and emeralds in their hundreds, the centre piece of the exquisite rug are three large round rosettes put together using table cut diamonds set in silvered gold.
Originally to be gifted to the tomb of the prophet Mohammed in Medina, the Baroda rug never made it to its intended destination as 'Gaekwar' Kande Rao, the Maharaja of Baroda, died before the rug could be delivered.

Jammu, Jul 5 (UNI) Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) chairman Bhim Singh today said he suspected that a campaign was being waged against the people of Jammu by tampering with their ''well-known secular image''.
Addressing a press conference here, Prof Singh said the secularism and communal harmony in Jammu needed no endorsement and it had been proved time and again. ''People of Jammu, following different faiths, have been seen helping each others during their needs,'' he added.
However, referring to the ongoing protests in the region, he said, ''Kashmiri leadership had never been sincere towards Jammu people and it is an outburst of that only.'' Prof Singh said the JKNPP MLAs would vote against the Congress-led State government on July 7 in the Legislative Assembly.
Meanwhile, the JKNPP, in a letter to the Speaker Legislative Assembly, demanded disqualification of independent MLAs, who had switched their loyalty to the Congress,'' under the provisions of anti-defection law as laid down in the Seventh Schedule and defined by Section 69 (3) of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir The independent MLAs, who had allegedly shifted their loyalities to the Congress, were Mr Babu Singh, Mr Aijaz Ahmed Khan, Mr Majid Wani, Mr Manohar Lal, Mr Abdul Rashid, Mr Puran Singh, Mr Rigzin Jora and Haji Nisar Ali, he said.
Similarly, the party also demanded disqualification of Mr Manjit Singh, who was elected on the mandate of one party and later joined other party i.e. the People's Democratic Party (PDP),.

Read an Excerpt
From George Levine's Introduction to On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (1859)1 is one of the major books of Western civilization, and possibly the last major scientific text fully readable by nonscientists. It was written before the full force of scientific specialization had created the division we are used to today: science written for scientists, and intelligible only to them, or popular science aimed not at being science but at explaining it, and (usually) making otherwise too difficult scientific ideas attractive to the nonexpert.
Darwin was certainly writing for scientists, but he knew that his book would be read by many nonprofessionals, and by many who were deeply invested in the religious and cultural implications of his ideas. The book is thus a work of real science, offering the strongest possible technical arguments for its ideas, while at that same time it does much of the work of popular science. But Darwin was never a popularizer like his "bulldog" and partisan, T. H. Huxley (also a distinguished scientist), who took upon himself the job of fighting all the fights, particularly the cultural ones, that Darwin's ideas were to arouse. More than a hundred years later, and despite the triumph of his ideas in the world of science, Darwin continues to need his bulldogs, for the very availability of his text to lay readers makes it particularly susceptible to critique from the whole spectrum of cultural and religious critics, many of whom do not seem really to understand its arguments. The upside of this condition is that the book has survived longer than virtually all other scientific textswhose usual life span is necessarily very short because science moves so quickly. Its ideas remain important, and they are well and lucidly argued. Evolution, the dominant idea with which Darwin's name is permanently associated (though he didn't actually use the word), was promulgated and firmly established in The Origin of Species. And we can still read the book now, even without the help of Huxley or the modern polymath popularizer and scientist Stephen Jay Gould.
This is not to say it is an "easy" book, or one that prima facie will thrill lay readers out for a good read. It really is a good read, despite (or, one might say, because of) the rigor of its argument and the almost overwhelming accumulation of details deployed in support; but it is deceptively simple. No book with so clear and well argued a position has been so variously interpreted and so widely misunderstood; few have been as difficult for its readers fully to absorb. The simple argument is so fundamentally anti-intuitive that even now, after 150 years, it has been difficult not to distort it in directions more comfortably consistent with readers' assumptions about the way the world is. Reading the book remains an adventure, and the activity of imagining Darwin's prolific, diverse, and often very beautiful world continues to be an exciting challenge to one's tacit assumptions about the way the world works.
The Origin of Species is not only a fundamental work in the history of science; it is a unique book in the history of English literature. There are few as important. That Darwin was a great scientist everyone knows, but it is not immediately obvious that he was a great writer as well. Yet no writer of the nineteenth century had to struggle more strenuously with the limits of language, none was more imaginatively and creatively metaphorical, few were more influential in shaping other writers' imagination of the world: none had a more significant and lasting effect on Western culture.

SYDNEY (AFP) – A rural Australian town was in shock Wednesday after a mother and her three children were found shot dead at a farmhouse in a "horrific scene", as police searched a nearby dam for the father.
Police found the bodies after being called to a property near the town of Lockhart about 535 kilometres southwest of Sydney on Tuesday afternoon.
They were named in local media as Kim Hunt, 44, her son Fletcher, 10, and daughters Mia, eight, and Phoebe, six.
The children's bodies were inside the house, while the mother was found dead on a path at the back of the homestead, police said.
Wagga Wagga Superintendent Bob Noble said the crime scene was "horrific", adding: "I don't think even the most hardened professional could remain unmoved by what's out there.
"It's certainly not something I've encountered anything similar to before, and I hope not to ever again."
Noble said all four were believed to have died late Monday or early Tuesday of gunshot wounds, although police have not yet carried out a post-mortem. No weapon has been found.
The police chief added that a search was underway for the father, Geoff Hunt, 44, with divers scouring a dam "within sight of the homestead" after a car was found abandoned nearby.
"That is the focus of our investigation and our search today. But we are making no assumptions because we just don't want to rule anything in or out," he said.

Disclaimer: Yeah, you caught me. My name's J. K. Rowling and I'm moonlighting as a fanfiction writer. Now that you've all digested the implausibility of that statement, no, I don't own anything, nor will I anytime soon. Happy now?
Author's Note: So, major apologies to everyone. I haven't written in this for so long…but I reread all my reviews the other day and they inspired me to finish this chapter finally. Thank you all for your support and I will do my best to update as soon as I can. I will warn you that this chapter is extremely long and nothing in particular occurs, but I had to write it. So enjoy and review everyone!
All around the Hall, a chain of gasps and furious murmuring spread as each pupil saw the yellow eyes, the blue fur, and the three-fingered hands.
"Oh my God…"
"What is it…?"
"'It' is my friend, so if ya'll don't want mah boot up your asses, you'd best play nice," Rogue snarled, turning to confront the whispers along the table.
"But…he's…blue." Harry said, bemused.
"Kurt was cursed …a gypsy witch cursed him as a baby as revenge on his mother," Kitty interrupted quickly, trying her best to recall the story they'd cooked up earlier. "…No one can find the cure…it's very difficult for him, but he, uh, keeps looking for some kind of, er…solution."
Hermoine gazed at the indigo figure at the Head Table with sympathy, completely missing the exasperated look Evan shot at Kitty. "How awful…"
"But, I swear, he's the sweetest kid you'll ever know!" Kitty continued hurriedly, trying to gain points for her scared friend.
Ron stared skeptically at her, but Harry switched his eyes to their fellow student on stage. It's very difficult for him…but he keeps looking for some kind of solution.
Story of my bloody life…Harry thought bitterly. But aloud, he defended the boy. "Hey, give him a chance…he can't be as bad as Malfoy, and Malfoy actually looks human."
"Givin' Malfoy a bit more credit than I would Harry…" Fred muttered darkly.
"I'm waiting to see which House he gets Sorted into first before I trust him." Ron announced.
Rogue glared at him, but Kitty nudged her, placation in her eyes. "That's really all we can ask, I guess." She agreed hurriedly, anxiety twisting her stomach at the plight of her friend. She closed her eyes and sent out a fretful prayer.
God, I know you've got a plan for us, but please…could you deal Kurt a good hand for once? She pleaded silently.
Meanwhile, Kurt was sweating like he was caught underneath all the spotlights of the Big Tent on the hottest day of the summer. He could see all the horrified faces, the hate, the fear, the suspicion…he felt like he was going to crack at any moment. But he desperately held himself together, knowing that the mission's secrecy was hinged on this performance.
Performance. It was a circus term, but it seemed to fit his life so well. He stared out at the people, the audience, and incredibly, he felt himself loosen up. Subconsciously, he could hear the announcer crying out in German "The Amazing Nightcrawler flies again!"
This isn't me…this is Nightcrawler, performing for these people in costume. Kurt told himself sternly.
And, amazingly, he suddenly found himself walking almost confidently to the stool, clambering onto it, and pulling the hat on over his pointy ears.
Immediately, there was silence, as though the world around him had departed briefly for a quick rest. He had little time for puzzlement however, before a soft voice seemed to speak directly into his ear.
"Fear is a strange thing, is it not? It can make some people do the most shameful things, and others, the most incredible."
Kurt was taken aback by the sudden, random philisophical rambling. "Um…yes?"
"But you know a great deal about fear already, don't you Kurt? I can see that you are of the latter group…good for you boy, I've always appreciated the ones who come in with a bit of spine." The voice added almost musingly, and Kurt was beginning to feel as though this was the type of conversation that could have continued with or without his presence.
"Not only bravery, but a nice dash of cunning and cleverness to even you out. And loyalty…my yes, you've got that in spades. Your friends are lucky indeed to have you on their sides. You give yourself too little credit; you would make an excellent leader." Kurt had never been good at accepting compliments, and to hear them from a talking hat, well, he was starting to feel a tad bit uncomfortable. He could see everyone staring at him expectantly, probably worried that he would wind up in their Houses.
"Ah, but you're not without your dark side…there's a fair bit of anger waiting to get out of you boy. You need to learn to control those emotions. And who better to teach you than those of the House of-
Kurt tore the Sorting Hat off his head eagerly, glad to be rid of the invasive voice. The presence in the hat reminded him strongly of telepathy, and some of the hat's words had stung a little too truly.
His cheering from his new Housemates was a great deal less enthusiastic than those of the others who had been Sorted, but he barely noticed. He strode to his table, unable to keep from smiling at the relieved looks from his teammates that were awaiting him. He tried to ignore the way the students he walked past withdrew from him, as though the slightest contact could infect them with some terrible affliction. The sight of his rather impressive molars probably weren't all that reassuring either.
Evan stood and enthusiastically slapped his best friend's hand, gripped it firmly, then pulled him into a one-armed embrace. "Yo yo, the K-Man has arrived people." He announced with a grin, releasing his friend.
"Someone has to keep you out of trouble," Kurt replied jokingly.
"Like you should be tha one ta talk, Fuzzy," Rogue muttered dryly, but, despite her tone, she was smiling.
Kitty lifted her eyes to the enchanted ceiling in silent thanks, and then hugged her friend warmly. She drew back and looked him in the eye. "See, I told you it'd be alright." She admonished him quietly.
Kurt could feel himself blushing and, for once, was relieved that his blue fur hid his skin so well. "No sveat Keety." He said breezily, sinking into the seat across from her, next to Hermoine. He gave her an innocent smile, or, as innocent as a smile that's 90 percent fang can be, and Hermoine returned it nervously.
By this time, the Headmaster had returned to the podium and was waiting patiently for silence. There was a brief wave of shushing, which left silence in its wake, and soon the whole Hall was waiting attentively.
"Congratulations to our newest students; I'm sure you will find your new roommates most accommodating." He inclined his head slightly to the X-Men, and almost unconsciously, they returned the gesture.
"We have one final business that needs attending to before we sample this glorious feast before us. I would like you to meet the newest members of our staff." He made a sweeping gesture behind him and Ororo, Logan, and the female professor Harry had had his eyes on earlier all stood.
"First, I am delighted to introduce Professor Illyana Dimitrov, who was brave enough to grace us with her presence as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I can only hope that certain male members of the student body will not be so confounded by her beauty that they do not learn all she has to share."
She blushed slightly at Dumbledore's words, but smiled charmingly. There was scattered laughter, but Harry thought the Headmaster had a point. The woman looked hardly old enough to be a professor, and her delicate features seemed unsuited for a staff member.
"However, to quell any ideas of romantic daydreaming, I introduce to you the assistant Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Logan." Dumbledore added, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. "He will be taking a slightly more…hands-on approach to the subject matter."
Logan put on his best leer and Rogue snorted quietly.
"Ah, tough luck." George said regretfully, still watching the slim lady professor as she applauded politely.
"And, I am thrilled to announce, we will be offering a new independent course, courtesy of one of Salem's finest witches, Professor Ororo Munroe." The X-Men clapped enthusiastically and Evan gave a loud whoop for the demure woman. Laughter broke out along the Gryffindor table and Ororo glared at her nephew warningly.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, simply smiled encouragingly. "Ah, it is always wonderful to see students so eager to learn." At these words, Evan, not looking to be labeled a brown-noser, sunk quickly into his seat. Dumbledore continued, unruffled.
"Professor Munroe will be offering a subject in which she is an expert: earth magic."
At these words, some of the students began to look interested.
"In due time, each of you will be given an opportunity to sign up. In the meantime, however…" He made a sweeping motion with his wand arm and food suddenly appeared on the serving platters before them, "Let us eat!"
"Finally!" Ron muttered rebelliously before tucking in with gusto.
Harry did likewise, sparing a glance for the newcomers around him, who were staring in astonishment at the food before them.
"Bit different than what you're used to?" He guessed in a friendly tone.
The girl named Kitty shook her head in amazement. "No we've never had so much-"
"Variety?" Kurt suggested.
"Or gotten it quite so-"
She glared at her furry classmate, who was obliviously savoring everything he could get his hands on.
"So how does your food arrive?" Ron asked, spraying chicken halfway across the table.
Hermoine looked positively disgusted. "For your information Ron, Salem's doesn't believe in the enslavement of house elves. They employ people the proper way."
"Oh here we go again," Fred murmured wearily, spearing a sausage with his fork and adding it to his pile of victuals. "More about the bloody elves."
"You know, I have to admit I'm truly impressed the way she somehow turns his name into an insult. That's real talent." George said thoughtfully, watching her as she launched into a tirade about S.P.E.W. to the wide-eyed Kitty. "She's a bit like Mum that way."
Harry spooned a generous portion of mashed potatoes to his plate and let the dialogue roll over him, feeling happier then he had been the entire summer. Even Hermoine and Ron's quarreling, which usually annoyed him to no end, seemed comforting and familiar.
He glanced up to find the strange green eyes of the one they called Rogue locked onto him. He felt suddenly uncomfortable, as though she was assessing him, deciding his fate in some way.
She didn't say anything for a moment, then suddenly jerked her head toward the quarreling pair. "Do your friends fight much?" She asked in her strange accent.
"Well, not really seriously…they just, sort of…quibble. It's their way of showing affection, I suppose. You'll get used to it."
"Oh, believe me, if it's one thing Ah'm used to, it's arguin'." She said, looking less imposing.
Feeling more at ease, Harry reached awkwardly across the table, offering his hand. "I'm Harry Potter, and those two over there are Ron Weasley and Hermoine Granger."
Rogue didn't even blink at the sound of his name, which he found both surprising and gratifying. "Mah name's Rogue, as Ah'm sure you know." She accepted his hand in her gloved one and shook it firmly.
He did. It wasn't easy to forget a name like that.
"What year will you and your friends be in?" Harry asked politely, returning to his food.
"Kurt, Kitty, an' Ah are all fifth years, Evan'll be in the fourth year, an' Jean an' Scott are seventh years." She explained.
"You'll be with us than," he said, gesturing toward his friends, "The twins, Fred and George, are seventh years like your friends." The twins acknowledged Harry briefly, then returned to their discussions with Evan and Lee.
"Glad ta have someone decent in with me then," She said pleasantly.
Harry accepted the compliment with a smile. "You say that now…just wait 'til you get to know us better. You might change your mind."
She laughed. "I doubt that."
"So, what made you decide to attend Hogwarts for a year? I mean, it certainly can't be an easy transition." Hermoine asked Kitty with interest.
Kitty considered this for a moment as she twirled her food around on her fork. "I suppose it's because we all, like, enjoy a challenge and we wanted to meet new people. We don't really get out much." She added regretfully.
"For shame fraulein, we meet interesting new people all the time!" Kurt interjected through a mouthful of chicken leg.
Kitty glared at him, the words "Interesting people not trying to kill us" passing unspoken between them.
"Well, if there's one thing we've got enough of, it's interesting people." Ron informed them, glancing up at the staff table.
Kitty and Kurt followed his gaze to Hagrid, who was obviously telling a story to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor while waving an oversized turkey leg animatedly.
"So, is he, uh-" Kitty started timidly.
"Hagrid? He's great, he's just a bit…bigger than life." Ron assured them, watching Professor Flitwick nimbly dodge flying turkey meat.
From Ron's other side, Harry chimed in cheerfully. "Honestly, he's probably the least intimidating teacher we have here."
"Besides Trelawney."
Hermoine gave a derisive snort. "If you want to call her a teacher."
The Hogwarts students laughed in acknowledgement, all trying to share their own Divination stories with their new friends at once. "I'll never forget when you left Hermoine…that memory will always keep me going through her class." Ron interjected with an almost blissful smile.
Hermoine blushed but raised her chin defiantly. "Enough is enough. I don't know how you two can still stand it."
"It does make an excellent naptime." Harry said thoughtfully.
Amidst the laughter, Neville scooted closer to the group of new students and nervously gestured to the staff table.
"Does your, uh, Professor Logan always look so…?" He trailed off in uncertainly.
"Happy to be alive?" Kurt supplied helpfully.
Rogue grinned. "He might have jest a bit of an attitude problem."
"He's really not all that bad, he's just kinda anti-social. He's not as mean as pretends to be; in fact, once you get to know him-"
"He's downright cuddly." Kurt finished with a wink. Kitty made a face at him and tossed a biscuit at him. Without even glancing up from his plate, he caught the dinner roll with his tail and daintily stuffed it into his mouth.
"Ugh, you're such a showoff," she said disgustedly.
To Kitty's annoyance (and Kurt's surprise), everyone was utterly amazed by their new Housemate's hidden quirk. Whistles and murmurs of admiration circled the table.
"Man, you got a tail?" Lee asked enviously.
Kurt, sliding easily into "Play to the Crowd" mode, grinned and spread his arms innocently. "Vhat, doesn't everybody?"
Shaky laughter greeted the joke. "Doesn't it, you know, get in the way?" A third-year girl asked with wide eyes.
"Vell, it makes clothes shopping a bit of a hassle," Kurt conceded with a shrug. "But it's very useful."
"I bet it is," Lavender Brown muttered appreciatively. Kitty's head whipped up and she glared down the table at the giggling girls.
Kurt seemed unaware of the comments, though his ears turned an interesting shade of violet. "Actually, vhen I vas a member of the circus, it really helped vith balance and, of course, vith my catching as vell."
Silence greeted this statement. Then, after a moment had passed-
"You were in the circus?"
Now he definitely looked uncomfortable. "I vas, um, raised by gypsies…and, they taught me acrobatics…" He began, not sure if he had gone too far.
He needn't have worried. "That is so amazing," Parvati Patil gushed, "I bet you met all sorts of fascinating people and saw the world." She prompted, doe-eyed.
"Well, not the whole world," He said, "Just Europe and America."
There were appreciative murmurs around the table and questions were immediately fired at him from every direction. He couldn't help but notice his space had suddenly become compromised as his fellow Gryffindors (mostly the female members) scooted closer to hear him speak.
Kurt was blown away by this sudden change of heart. He was used to attention and perhaps even the laughter of an audience or his friends, but he had never been admired before. It was a feeling he could get used to. He smiled widely and tried to catch Kitty's eye, to show her she had been right about him fitting in, but she was looking obstinately in another direction, chatting with Lee. His heart sank slightly, but his expression remained fixed as he turned back to his admirers. He didn't even notice Kitty sneak a glance in his direction.
The newcomers and their fellow students ate and talked for what seemed like hours. Eventually, even Kurt couldn't even eat anymore and his eyes started to droop dangerously. The combination of emotional fatigue, delicious food, and atmosphere was proving to be a powerful depressant. He blinked repeatedly, sat up, and looked about him to see if anyone had noticed. Instead, he saw that he was not alone in his drowsiness.
All along the table, he witnessed mouths opening in yawns and eyelids falling. Some of the younger students had even laid their heads on their now-empty place-settings. Nearby, Fred, George, Lee, and Evan were deep in a hushed conversation that probably would have proved interesting to any professor or janitor. They swiped several cupcakes and sweets and stuffed them in napkins to be enjoyed at a later time.
Finally, the staff made the announcement that it was time for the students to make their way to their separate houses. They arose gratefully, calling goodbyes to friends and flowing toward the staircases.
Kurt raised a hand in farewell to Jean and Scott as he was carried away by his housemates. He was almost too weary to notice that the students outside of the Gryffindors still watched him with trepidation and were careful not to walk too closely.
The press of students carried the X-Men along to their new Houses, in some cases dragging them away from fascinating portraits, moving staircases, suits of armor and other unusual scenery that was commonplace for Hogwarts students. They finally reached the portrait of the Fat Lady and Hermoine, who, along with Ron, had recently been made a prefect, pushed herself forward.
"The new password's 'cuttlefish,'" She said confidently.
Ron glanced at Harry and rolled his eyes. "She's a bloody natural at this," He muttered. He gave his friend an almost apologetic smile and Harry knew Ron still felt guilty he had been made prefect instead of Harry. In all honesty, Harry was relieved he didn't have to worry about the extra duty; he had enough on his plate.
The portrait swung open and the Gryffindor students climbed inside, eager for bed. Kurt and his fellow newcomers gaped openly at their surroundings as they were led to their separate dorms. He bid good night to Rogue and Kitty and followed Harry and Ron to the boy's staircase, then gave Evan a final high-five as he headed off to his room.
He entered the room and was amazed to find a bed already made for him, his trunk waiting at the foot. He glanced at Harry, who shrugged.
"Nobody misses much here at Hogwarts," He said, as though this explained everything.
Kurt fell back on his bed and stared up at its hangings thoughtfully. "This is going to be a very interesting year," He mused quietly. Then he grinned briefly and rolled over, falling asleep without even bothering to change.
