Nico plastered a slightly mournful expression on his face, "And here I was thinking I was leading by example." he paused and looked at her, "only a
few tricks?"

But he had Gryffindor friends... and Hufflepuff friends... and Ravenclaw friends, too...
Right. Own House Table. Best idea.
Raiden half-skipped over to the table and found a vacant seat. Quietly he slid into it and chewed on his bottom lip as he stared. Fooooooooood. Food was good. And he... was a very hungry little Raiden.
Nicholai smiled as Raiden joined them and solemnly levitated a plate of pumpkin pasties
away from the boy just incase he was tempted.
"Raiden, how are you?"

That ambition did seem to get in the way at times. "900?!" she practically yelled. Whitney was barely in her mid or low 200's. "Um....sure? Like I said, I'll try. At least I didn't make us lose any points though, right?" Of this, Whitney was proud. She always did know how to break the rules and follow them at the right time. "If you want, I can find a way to double up on my classes. Maybe that'll get me above 900 quicker." Now she wasn't serious at all about this, and she hoped Nico knew this. "Oh, and I'll make sure to listen a lot more too. I have a huge problem with that." This wasn't a lie but she had to laugh at it.
Nicholai shrugged, "You might surprise yourself, Whitney." He grinned then, around at Whitney and Amanda, and included Raiden in his next statement, "Actually you guys all did fairly well; I'm
almost proud. I bet Evangeline and Will are impressed by how hard you all worked. As long as you know there is always harder. As Intern Trelawney says; second place is first place loser." He held up his glass and grinned, "Well I'm kind of happy with that this term so here's to first place losers!"
Yeah.
It was official.
The Hufflepuffs had rubbed off on him.
