As Percival told her she didn't have to show her up, Nautica stopped like it was the first time the idea had ever been suggested. She looked over at him as he told her about his own situation and as he agreed with her thoughts. When he approached her with the idea of having fun, she tilted her head ...

Hearing Leiliana's initial response to her question had Nautica regretting asking at all, then sighed at the response. Was he really carrying it around?! But it was semi-forgotten when they reached the room. She looked at her fellow again as she twirled and a smirk came to her face. The lines of tir...

Nautica glanced at her as she asked about whether or not she had a look-a-like, "One of these days, that optimistic attitude is going to bite you," she concluded when she talked about the path leading to a sunny beach, "Unless there's some kind of port key at the end of this thing, th...

"It's not just the workload, that's whatever," Nautica waved her hands, "It's that I despise some of the courses, but I can't even slack in those even when I cannot retain nor care to retain the information," she muttered, "I feel like a spring wound too tight, but I'm not ...

Nautica had covered her face with her hands to try and regather herself before hearing the voice not far from her. She hadn't been looking around when she came into the space so she hadn't even realized she'd sat near anyone else. She looked over once she was sure she'd schooled herself enough, &quo...

Nautica's eye had definitely twitched at the comment about her and her sister, but she didn't comment. She didn't seem to care that Leiliana decided to tag along before looking over at her as she grabbed her shoulder. She'd heard about the incident and Three Broomsticks when the real Rhysln had to t...

Nautica set her things down in the Slytherin common room with a sigh. With it being the year she had to take her O.W.L.s, she seemed more stressed than ever to make sure she was doing well in her classes. Her sister had just finished the year before with impeccable N.E.W.T scores, placing more weigh...

Much to Nautica's dismay, when she came out of the shop, her mother took a firm hold of her arm and started to lead her around toward Gringotts. "Why doesn't Rhysln have to go in here?" Nautica grumbled as she was drug along. "Because she saved her allowance and her money from last ye...

Nautica's face went flat as she heard her name being said in such a way, knowing who it was attached to. Of all people... She sighed, her shoulders going slack a bit as she looked over, having a look on her face that made it clear she was not in the mood for all the chipper chatter, but didn't say a...

It was late fall, almost winter, as Nautica made her way through the halls, trying her darndest to look inconspicuous. She'd read something in one of her history books about how there were a variety of hidden passages and the like in Hogwarts and after some digging, she thought she'd figured out the...

(For context, check out this thread and its conclusion... in a story that needs to be posted still, some other characters met Rhysln's reflection in Hogsmeade and found her to be chaotic and destructive, nearly burning down the Broomsticks while interrogating them to find Nautica. The real Rhysln ar...

Rhysln had, in fact, seen herself in the reflection, "Breaking a mirror's bad luck, Lestrange," she said not looking away from his gaze, her own seeming mild and a bit understanding, "Get that hand wrapped up when you get back to your dorms," she said before turning to the door, ...

When he'd asked if she thought he was careless, she gave him a disparaging look but continued on, "Merlin's beard, Lestrange," she groaned at him making comments at her height, "I'll show you the bite's as bad as the bark if you don't shut up," she growled out, squinting at him. ...

"If you've got somewhere to keep those shards, I'd tuck them far and away," Nautica managed when he'd picked up all the pieces of the glass, "We don't know if it'll make more things come out of the frame if it sees other people," she tried to explain her thoughts, though she had...

When Laguna woke, she sighed and nearly cried in relief, putting her hand to her chest, but his voice was causing her head to pound. She shook her head to the initial barrage of questions, "I don't know where they went, that's why I'm saying we have to tell someone," she said, trying to ge...

Nautica turned as she heard the scream and then saw Laguna fall, "Laguna!" she gasped and started to hurry over toward him. Her reflection let out another laugh as it blasted her hard in the back sending her skidding across the clearing they were in. As Nautica managed to get up, her head ...

"Oh ho ho," Nautica's reflection chimed in hearing Laguna's, "The only way she'd get out of that shadow is to do it by force," they stepped back around, motioning to itself, "I wonder... If the Andersons in Azkaban have met the Lestranges," it snickered a bit before it...

"Breaking it seems to be how they were escaping in the first place," Nautica pointed out, taking a few steps back before noticing that the fairies and lumosfire seemed to have gone out. She swallowed hard as the remaining glass was darkened with the shadows of the Forest, "I'd sugges...

Nautica hadn't had a chance to comment on his invitation before seeing her reflection, though she herself was a bit surprised, considering how awful she'd just been in the halls, "That wasn't why I looked," she said, when he said she'd been checking how she looked, but as he took his turn ...

"I don't know," Nautica said, "Something... to get the heart racing I suppose. I'm dreadfully bored of late and feel like I'm sitting on my hands, though I suppose you have plenty of excitement wandering in the woods, eh?" she muttered as she approached the mirror. Her brows dre...

Nautica swatted at his arm as he said the comment about being smart, "Shut. Up," she said again, stepping forward, "I wanted to see if I could get a pinpoint on its location, a sense of direction before just charging forward, silly me thinking you'd do the same," she muttered as ...

Nautica waved off his comment about the apology, "Shut up, Lestrange," she muttered, "There's something there," she pointed and then with a bit more fervor as some bright colors flashed along the edge of the forest, "There's something there," she said again before looki...

When Laguna had made a mock of what Rhysln said, Nautica scowled at him but did as her sister bade and stopped. She had more or less been shamed by the call out. She looked outside as he motioned to the trees, listening to his take on things. "It's cold...and a reminder of just how fleeting eve...

Nautica sucked her teeth at his initial response before giving a scoffing laugh, "Yeah, that's what happens when there's at least one person in the family that's not a disappointment, huh? Oh but you wouldn't know, you're an only child. Must be a really miserable, lonely time at home, huh?"...

"Imagine that, Lestrange staring off into space, talking to himself," Nautica scoffed as she walked down the hall, "You act like the seasons aren't inevitable and that fall wouldn't come back," she looked him over, "Though I'm surprised you don't like winter more with who y...
