The next question came from Adi, and Hayden had to consider it for a bit. She thought about the conversation she'd had with Lex. But Adi probably wasn't looking for her analysis of the sorting hat and the house system. He'd just asked if she liked being a Hufflepuff. So Hayden shrugged. "I like it well enough. I suppose I do appreciate being surrounded by people known for being nice." Most of them were, anyway.
Yes the term was nearly over. That fact hadn't really hit Hayden yet. She was just there, at the feast, waiting for food and eager to get to a place with normal temperature. The fact that the year was over was slowly sinking in, and she had to pause for a moment after Leah spoke to truly comprehend everything.
"It's weird," she finally said. "I feel like I'm going to age an entire year in just a day. Right now I'm a first year but tomorrow I'll practically be a second year." That wasn't how years worked, obviously Hayden knew that. She also knew that she'd grown a lot over her first year and experienced a lot of new things so things weren't exactly happening suddenly like she was describing. It just felt that way to her at the moment. That time was passing at a weird rate. "You're going to be a third year." And of course there were the seventh years. Hayden glanced up at the front of the room, where the older students had been taking turns at the memory book. After a second she turned back to Leah.
"Are you close with any seventh years?"
Leah had not realized that her question was actually a serious one. Hayden was one smart girl, she was.
"I get that feeling on my birthday. My friend actually told me once that I looked older on the day I turned thirteen." Like it made a difference. She did not age a year in a day, right? But she understood what Hayden meant.
She suddenly felt old and mature, because she had experienced a lot over the two years at Hogwarts. The aging epidemic and cold had kind of changed her? They taught her lessons, that if she tried her best to survive then everything would be alright. Or that everything
did turn alright at the end.
"Yeah, and you're not going to be called a firstie anymore!" Now THAT was a moment worth celebrating. Turning into a third year and becoming a second year felt different.
"Er, I only know our two prefects. I only talked a little with Kaiden last year," Leah said, wondering if she said the name right. Oh, and was Quidditch going to return next year? That would be cool.
"and Elodie has always been nice to me this year." She smiled and looked around.
There she was, surrounded by a bunch of people, like Leah expected. She would have to say goodbye to her later on. The Hufflepuff looked at the front of the room where Hayden was looking at earlier to find a pedestral there. That must be the memory book everybody was talking about. She turned her attention away from it, as she did not have to worry about writing an essay on it for another five years or so.
Instead, her eyes turned to the staff table, where the most funny situation was going on.
"Merlin." Was all Leah said, as she burst out laughing.
SPOILER!!: Lux ^_^

"Do you have any plans for the summer?" It was so exciting to think that in a few hours they would be outside of the castle walls for the first time in what seemed to be years.
Of course Kace would be down for a beach party. Lux knew him so well. "This time I want you to do the Hula with me." Yep. She was holding him to that too so he had better not get any ideas. "We can have a lot of fun swimming and tanning! Plus there will be awesome music." No party would be complete without music.
Nod. More than one meet up was awesome. "Maybe we could all give you a make over," she joked while giving him a wink. How good would Kace look wearing make up she wondered to herself. LOL That would be so much fun. "I am totally up for a double date and I know Bay would be too."
Dylan was such a sweetheart. It was no wonder that he was sorted in the same House as her because the Hufflepuffs were all amazing and kind people. "You still haven't met him yet, have you?" Maybe they had spoken at Emmy's party but Lux could not remember it at all.
"Awesome! I am going to expect you to be there now!" She really needed to hang out with Dylan more because she didn't see him as often as she wanted to. He was such a good friend to her.
Anna seemed so sad all the time lately. It was really starting to worry Lux. Even though they didn't talk too often, Lux had still seen her around the school and she usually looked upset. Biting her lip, she listened to all that was wrong with the older Puff. It seemed that life really WAS treating her rough. "I'm sure that's not true. Mel is a very sweet girl. If you've had a falling out I'm sure it will work out. You two share a bond as best friends that can't easily be broken."
Giving Anna a smile, Lux hoped that she would start to feel a little better.
Awwww, Leah seemed like such a sweetheart. Why hadn't Lux gotten to know her earlier? Well at least she was getting the chance to now! "Nice to meet you, Leah. That sounds like fun. Do you always travel places with your family?" Maybe the younger Puff had a lot of fun adventures. Travelling was always a lot of fun!
Adi seemed to be on board for the beach party. Awesome. Lux would really like it if he was there because Adi was so nice and a very good friend. He had been there for her when Bay was in the hospital, and she would never forget it. "I am so going to let you know. I'm thinking it might be at my sister's if she lets me. Only thing is that she really doesn't like Bay and he doesn't like her either." Which she couldn't blame him for at all since Willa was rude to him when they first met last summer.
"That sounds like fun! So many fun opportunities always come up during the summer. I bet we will both have loads of things to do!"
Leah grinned at Lux as she said,
"Nice to meet you too!" She loved it when people said that to her, as if she just looked friendly and kind.
"No, not all the time, but I do enjoy it when we do." That reminded her of a divination lesson when a description had mentioned her being 'international' or something. She shook that thought away.
"I think we are just staying in Britain this summer though, visiting Diagon Alley and such." Diagon Alley trips were always fun. That was also where she met her two best friends! Okay ONE, since Angel did not count as her friend anymore. Hmfh!
"What are you plans for summer?" Leah asked Lux, not wanting to think about her recent fight with her former
bestie.
SPOILER!!: Kace ^_^

He smiled and commented, "That is awesome mate. Try to stay away from the bears and cook some s'mores for me.." he joked a bit with his badger buddy. "Maybe I can visit you this summer?" he offered. Oh onto him now? "Well mate I actually applied for an internship this summer. I hope I get into some stores and get some experience.." he told his buddy.
"Hey Anna....you alright?" he asked concerned. He wanted her to have a fun time at the feast. He wanted her to be social and all. He hadn't talked to Mel in over a while. He wondered where she was. "You excited for the summer. I hope you can visit me.." he said to her. "I applied for an internship so maybe you can come and visit me in the store I work at.." he smiled.
"Hiii errr Leah?" he said right back to the little puff. He was smiling and was glad she was excited for summer. Everyone should be! WOAH she would be a third year? Time went by too fast. "You know I am gonna be a fifth year?" he told her. He was growing up so fast. He remembered being a tiny first year. "I am doing well thanks for asking! Ermm for the summer I am hoping to be interning in Diagon Alley for experience. My mom is on my butt for that. She wants me to be a worker.." he shrugged.
WOHOO! His buddy may visit him this summer! He was pumped for that. He would tell his mother eventually. "Ermm it is not weird at all! Tree house building is soo much fun! Plus you get some muscle from carrying the wood." he winked. "You can get some muscle for the ladies.." he joked a little bit with his buddy, he even elbowed him too. "I am also hoping to intern at Diagon Alley. I applied for a couple stores and I hope to hear back.." Fingers crossed!
"I have been just fine.." he told his best friend truthfully. He was really happy this year with his girlfriend being here and snuggling sometimes. He also had fun in his lessons and had fun times with his Gryffinpuff gang. "I am soo excited for summer! I actually applied for an internship at Diagon Alley so I hope to hear back soon.." He crossed his fingers. He hoped he would get it. But if he didn't it wouldn't be soo bad. Yeah he would be sad but he would get over it. "Yeahh I am going on the field trip but Emmy isn't old enough yet.." he shrugged. "But we will have fun! Is Mitch coming too?" he asked curiously.
AWW MAN! He would accept this challenge. He loved the hula. He even loved hula hopping as well which is the same thing. He also loved the limbo for beach parties. "Will there be a limbo?" he asked curiously. Awesome music was good too! He nodded and approved of that. "Plus amazing dancing?" he asked. He wanted to dance with Emmy at least once. Woaahhh a make over. He raised his eyebrows and shook his head chuckling. "Oh no no no noooo makeover. I mean I just styled my hair recently. It shall not be touched.." he joked with her. SWEET! She wanted to double date. He knew she would. "Awesome maybe at the lion table over there we can plan it with him.." he pointed over to her boyfriend.
Leah got a hi back from the boy, so that meant that she probably got his name right! And he knew hers too, even better. She could not help but notice that everybody was smiling right now. Badgers were great, and even the weather was helping to lift up the mood.
"FIFTH year?" She said, gasping.
"I knew you were old but not that old." She added with a chuckle. No offense meant, Kace. He had those OWLs stuff coming up, which should be diffcult and stressful. But hey, interning? She had never heard about that.
"Oh wow, that should be fun." Unless the shopkeeper was an annoying person, that is.
"I would definitely visit the shop you are working in. To boss you around." Extra fun for the customer, hehe.
"Do you know about other people who might be interning in Diagon Alley too?" Leah asked.
SPOILER!!: Hazel ^_^

"Yeah, I always love summer. I just hope it's warmer than it was this year." Maybe she could convince her sister to take her to a beach. That would be fun sister-sister bonding.
Hazel smiled at Dylan. "That's good," she said to him. "I'm going to stay in my sister's flat in London for a bit. She went off to school when I was a toddler, so it should be fun! What are you doing?" All this talk about summer was making her anxious to start the feast. Because after the feast is SUMMER!
Hazel wished the food would come out already. She was getting hungry. She grinned at her friend, Leah. "It's been nice. I got my homework done a lot more efficiently since I couldn't leave the castle." Aah, it was a good year. She was sad it was over. "I've had a really good year! Except the cold, of course."
Hazel loved it when Adi called her 'Hazel eyes'. Nobody ever called her that, and it sounded so cool. "This would've been the perfect year to practice, but I haven't gone skating since we went. I tried not to embarrass myself again." And she didn't want to hurt herself from falling too much. "Do you have any plans for the summer?"
Hazel smiled sympathetically at Marigold as she grunted. Trying to cheer her up she said, "Do you have any plans for summer?" Summer made everything better.
"Hi, Lux. Nice to meet you," Hazel said to the girl. She seemed to be about her age. "I'm going to my sister's flat in London for a few weeks. Then just staying at home and stuff. How about you?" She couldn't wait for summer!
Leah heard her stomach grumble and immediately looked up, wondering if anybody else had heard that. The person sitting nearest her was Hazel, and she would definitely not make fun of her for that. She glanced up towards the staff table again to see if the Headmistress would make her speech any moment now, but all she saw was Professor Flamsteed freaking out over the divination teacher's cute kittens.
"Oh yeah THAT was definitely a good thing about this year." She said, nodding.
"Did you notice that all homework assignments were fun this year? Like cooking, casting charms in the castle, and practicing spells on dummies?" The second year had never enjoyed homework more, and that was saying something.
"I think it's less cold now, don't you think? I'm finally seperated from my blanket." Kind of lonely without it though, but she had her Hufflepuff family right here with her!
