SPOILER!!: Penelope! Quote:
Originally Posted by griffin  Penelope could not believe that it was the end of the term already. As she walked over to the Ravenclaw table, she reflected on her first year. They would be able to leave Hogwarts without having to tunnel out. No Hufflepuffs students had died, and if people had died, she would have been okay because she was a Ravenclaw. Everyone knew that if anyone died, the Hufflepuffs would be the first to die.
What had she learned this term? Most of what she could remember was about weather- the astronomy lessons. Astronomy had been one of her favorite classes this term, despite the fact that something bad always happened to her in astronomy class. Maybe she would have better luck next term. Divination, on the other hand, had mainly focused on astrology. Despite the differences between astronomy and astrology, Penelope respected both subjects. Though more interested in the science of astronomy, she found divination interesting in its own way. Potions and History of Magic had not been her best subjects, but next term could be a new start. She wanted to learn as much as she could in her second year.
Making her way over to the Ravenclaw table, she greeted her fellow housemates. "Hi Maddie, Jasmine, Dora, Nigel, Dima, Kyroh," she said, acknowledging them as she found a seat at the table near all of them.
Her attention now on her housemates, Penelope turned her thoughts to her friends. Did she have friends? She hadn't really talked to many people, and was alone most of the time. Maybe she could find some study partners next year and talk to more of her housemates so she could have friends. Oh look, roommate person. Maddie smiled a little and waved. She'd been a bit skeptical about the whole sharing a space with other girls her age THING but all in all, it hadn't been THAT bad. Merlin knew it could've gone worse and really, Penelope had turned out to have her back which had surprised the small brunette. It also made her think her fellow first year wasn't half bad. "Hey Penelope, ready to get out of this prison?" They'd been trapped for a LONG time, did she KNOW? SPOILER!!: Nigel! Quote:

That is my plan" Really, really bad pun on plans using a different meaning for it. But whatever, already said.
Talk about random. Only the second time he has gotten the request for an autograph. And the first time was just a joke for him. Since it was Ruby after all. "Sure..anything you want me to write on this?" If not then he would just scribble his name.
It seemed all the younger claws were finally coming to the table. "Hey, Penelope, Better you are ready for summer to finally start." He for sure was.
Then the unexpected happened. Josette was thanking him. Well he was good at helping with stuff so there was that. Whatever the stuff was. Though not stuff that would kill his hair. Nope not that. "No problem and Sure" Nigel did began to wonder what she wanted to ask. Since Mo could probably explain mostly anything better. Oh his hair. Well that was a secret. But tell one person besides Wade and Alec would not hurt. "The secret is pickles. That is all i will say. Your hair is awesome enough as is."
Truth Maddie WAS smart. She also wasn't bothered SO much by Grayson's smirking. It was more the air of arrogance he had about him. Like HE was the bees knees, whatever THAT meant. He had yet to show HER what was so great and so SHE wasn't a fan, not YET. Also, the pun went RIGHT over the first year's head but she DID think this was a solid choice for the male prefect. "Way to go, Nigel. Play to your strengths." And his hair was DEFINITELY a strength. SPOILER!!: Kyroh! Quote:

He didn't KNOW Maddie's brothers but MAYBE his mum would say yes if she knew that they didn't want Maddie to have fun without them. "She does!" Kyroh agreed, bobbing his head to Dima. Before all the snow he had sent Dot waffles cause they didn't get any GOOD food there at Durmstrang. MAYBE they could all eat GOOD waffles over the summer? "Dot's a girl. Like you." And-oh, bye Dima? Bye!! Kyroh waved as his friend went to go speak to Mo, all serious like.
"Not jealous. They don't like that I'm friends with boys. Or they wouldn't like it, rather. S'not like I've been able to write them." NOT that she was planning on telling them ANYTHING they didn't NEED to know. "So no, please don't invite them. PLEASE. You CAN meet them, though. If you wanted to." Though Merlin knew why ANYONE would want to subject themselves to THAT bunch.
Dot was a girl. LIKE her. Well at least Kyroh KNEW she was a girl. Congratulations to him. And for some reason, the thought of meeting another girl their age who was ALREADY friends with Dima and Kyroh made the first year furrow her brow. "What's she LIKE?" SPOILER!!: Cat! Quote:
Originally Posted by Colley "Present, lovie." Cat smiled at Maddie and decided that she was going to miss this little one too. Maybe they would owl her though, sometimes? Keep her updated? "It's not a birthday kind of present, just something I thought you might like. I require hugs before presents can be handed out, though." It was TRUE. "That's really nice." The small brunette was going to put Cat with Ethan in the "Nice Slytherin" category, the other ones being "Vain Slytherin," "Slytherin with Potentional," and "Slytherin to Avoid". She wanted to have her bases covered, y'know? But hugs? WHAT was with people at this school and hugs? I yi yi.
The first year waged an internal war for all of TWO seconds, deciding the promise of a present FAR outweighed the momentary uneasiness that accompanied a hug. And so Maddie sidled up to the older girl and gave her a proper squish, just like Dima and Kyroh usually did to HER. She even SMILED 'cause you don't just toss someone out into the world without one of THOSE too.
"How long do Cat hugs last, usually?" JUST asking. SPOILER!!: Mo! Quote:
Originally Posted by Cassirin Ah, hmmm. Why was it that Dima was SO SO eager to speak to him all of a sudden? He should be excitedly sharing his summer plans with his friends and realizing that it would feel like AGES before they saw each other again. "Hey, mate. What's up? Did you get a cannoli? Cat makes the best everything." Cat got a squeeze for it.
LITTLE BUDDY. Mo waved cheerfully at her, wondering why she hadn't come down the table with Dima. "Come hug me right NOW, Coop." The rules were the rules.
"It's a long way down when you have a monkey on your back," Mo nuzzled against Cat with a satisfied air, perfectly happy to just cuddle up next to her while he waited to eat. He'd already managed to eat a cannoli, and he was trying to limit his sweets with a Quidditch tryout coming up next week.
He didn't want to carry the cannoli around the pitch if he could help it. "Hi. I'm glad you're friends with Dora, 'cause we're going to be spending loads of time with her and Alice. I have plans to haunt them for local thrills." He liked bothering those two in particular, and he happened to know where they lived. Or would live.
"I'm okay. Are... you?"
"I always speak the truth," Mo scoffed at Sophie, reaching around Cat to tug her hair. Always always. She looked happy, though, and Mo wasn't going to push his luck. They could all be just happy for as long as possible. Or if not happy... content? Fine? They could all be fine.
"I thought I was the best. How can Cat be he best?" ...More hugs. Feasts were going to be hug fests then, yeah? At least she KNEW now so that she'd be prepared for it in the future. Still, she wasn't a FAN. Even IF it was an excuse to go see MO.
The twelve year old carefully got up and wandered over to the older boy, hesitating before wrapping her arms around him awkwardly. "Does everyone at this school except me love hugs, Mo?" Seriously, she was starting to wonder.
