"Oh yes, I'll have to show you
our arena." Nicholai made a slight face, knowing it was fairly disturbing to have such a thing at home, particularly since it had once been used for fairly unsavoury purposes by pureblood supremacists.

"Arigatou, Nicholai Toussaint... they wanted me to eat them," he said plainly, pointing at the evil pasties which were now out of his reach. "And I'm okay, how are you?"
He blushed... almost proud? Well then, he'd have to do a lot better next term, so that Nicholai Toussaint could be actually proud, wouldn't he... First place losers?
"Hmm... well, at least we're first place somethings, huh?" Raiden said cheerfully, eying the pasties from across the table. Evil things, they were. They looked so innocent...
Nicholai shook his head slightly and glared at the pasties for Raiden's benefit. He was fairly sure neither of them liked the idea of a repeat of the incident with the bucket. Actually they hadn't had much luck with moving staircases at all this term. He had something to give Raiden and as he thought about the letter he frowned slightly.

She, too, grabbed a glass and said "To the first place losers!" Only Slytherins knew how great they were.
"Raiden, this is Whitney, and... do you know Amanda?" Nicholai gestured to the girls, "Whitney is a first year like you and Amanda is a second year like Celandine."
He smiled at Whitney's reaction and nodded, "Besides; got to have something to improve on right? First place next term!"
He listened idly to Amanda and Whitney talk about Kayla and shook his head slightly; Amanda was lucky. Kayla could have done so much more and had only taken her wand when Amanda hadn't conceded defeat. Strangely Nicholai was almost proud that Amanda hadn't; she was a true Slytherin and could only get better. Thinking of Kayla again made him smile and he took a sip of his drink and avoided looking toward the Hufflepuff table.
