"I'm a transfer." Alex said simply turning to Draven again. "So, haven't been but yeah it seemes like a good school."

Although people said it was so much more than just a school.

Alex chuckled and grinned. "Probably, because believe me I know how to do it." he joked with a slight smirk.

"Then I'll definitely stay." he winked. He didn't want to leave her, he felt so much better when she was there. Who cared about all the stupid rumours? They had already talked about it, laughed and dismissed it. Some people just loved making up rumours. Him and Fee together was just.. No. Capital N.

He still loved her though, as his friend. His best friend.

"Besides, I want to be with you." he admitted with a smile at her.

Alex frowned slightly when Taylor mentioned her family being phsyco. "I hope things will turn out good for you Taytay." he said with a genuine smile.

Her new boyfriend would have to be there for her now that Alex and Taylor had broken up. She needed someone at a time like that.

Alex grinned slightly when Hugo mentioned the summer 'break'. Well since he hadn't gone to school that term he had had his break from school a long time. He didn't mind though.

"It's been good so far." he nodded. "Almost school though." he said. He was looking forward to Hogwarts but the idea of school? Ugh, not so much.

Alex chuckled when Cass came up to him. "Ah I would never, what makes you think that?" he flashed her an innocent smile.

"What's up little cousin? Enjoying the summer?"

"What's so bad about school?" he laughed.
Of course, he was a Ravenclaw. He loved following lessons.
"Trust me, the only subjects you don't want to get yourself into are Arithmancy and History of Magic. The rest is great," he said.
"Especially Defence Against the Dark Arts is awesome."

"Yea, ive heard a lot of great things about Hogwarts. Im hoping to have a great time and learn a lot of new things. So where did you transfer from?"

Alex seemed to be a pretty straight forward guy but very humble as well. He certainly didnt seem to be as snobby as some of the other boys he and Tay had seen in Diagon Alley. Draven noticed the room was beginning to fill up and everyone looked to be having a great time. He was starting to feel more at ease.

"Well, what did you expect from me, a green suit and a silver tie?" Rex asked Cass laughing real hard. "So I guess you do not like my suit?" Rex asked Cass. " I can change these clothes" Rex told Cass.

" Loys of nice people here" rex told Hugo. " lots of my friends here, too" Rex said to hugo. " I hope I have not been too wild for HogWarts" Rex laughed. "Well ,since you have been "glittered" by Fee, you are halway there" Rex explained to Hugo. " I really meant what I said about you and Fee plus you are welcome" Rex smiled.

"Yeah well it's probably not going to happen," Hugo said to Rex.
"I'll never live up to this Edmond boy,"
He suddenly felt a bit sad, but it was nice to have someone to talk about.
After all, he hadn't been able to talk about his feelings to someone for nearly a year at Hogwarts.

Alex just shuddered thinking of school and laughed. Alright, school wasn't so bad, it was filled with his friends but also filled with homework.

"I know we had similar subjects in my old school. Those subjects just like to torture me..." he said with a slight pout. Stupid math numbers messing with his mind.

He raised his eyebrows at Hugo and nodded. "Defence Against the Dark Arts are my best." he nodded.

Alex was being ciiiivil. Huh. "I'm sure you'll have fun." he said casually. "I'm a New Yorker." he said with a slight smirk. So don't mess with me, people.

"Uh, so which house would you like to be sorted into?" he asked trying to strike up an unawkward conversation.

"Heeeeeyyy best friend",Fee smiled happily,"glitter girl is good,how is glitter boy?"Seriously,she had really missed Rex over the summer. Even though they had met a few times,it wasnt the same.Almost running over to him,she wrapped him ina tight hug as Fee was close enough.

Fee smiled when she heard Kurumi talking about Adam. So the two there still together.How sweet.She hadnt seen Adam for ages and wondered where he was? Maybe still at home? Or shopping dor school supplies? Didnt he get the invite?"Ohh that must have been so cool to have your boyfriend around for a little",Fee winked.

Oh her summer... Well how to start? "First it started really good",she smiled,"Rubies came with me and we had a blast."Before Fee continued to talk she took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second.Even though a few weeks had past since Edmond had sent the letter she was shocked."Expect the fact i am alone agan my holdays had been great."Trying a little smile she nodded at her friend.There was no reason to worry, Fee woud make it trough.

As Fee noticed Freya arriving, she waved at her friend.Finally the trio was together.Now the party could really begin,all three josts where there."Hey girl",she smiled,"what took you so long?"Looking at her bestie Fee noticed how stunning Freya looked today."Awesome dress by the way",she winked.

"I know i am late sooo sorry",Fee smiled as her bestie hugged her.Stupid getting ready, but Fee wanted to look extremely good. As a host it was her duty. Then she noticed Cass turning to Hugo,whpuld it be awakward now with Cass telling Fee Hugo had a little thing for her? Cass had a crush on him before. Hopefully nothing would get damaged because of that.


"Ahhh thats my best friend",Fee smiled happily.Of course he could leave if it got all too much for him.But deep down she wanted him to be with her. Their time together was so precious and she didnt want to miss anything with him.Pretending to kiss him on the cheek,she giggled.Who really cared abitu rumours? Besides that if someine was watching them, the whole world would know about "the new couple" tomorrow.How funny.

"And i want to be with you",she smiled,"always."Best friends forever. She was really thankful for that day at Katie's.Otherwise she would have never met him., And that would be terrible.


As Fee noticed Hugo and Alex talking she smiled. They would get along pretty well, she guessed. And Alex was her best friend.Somehow it would make Fee happy if the two would like eachother.

New York? Draven had never heard of the place but the name sounded like one from across the sea. Draven didnt spend much time with geography except from the surrounding areas by his village.

"Uh, what house? Well, ever since i decided to come to Hogwarts my heart has been telling me Ravenclaw. But.., i have a lot of qualities that fit Gryffindor and because of some of the history in dark arts from my bloodline i could end up in Slytherin. I just really dont know where ill end up but my heart tells me Ravenclaw".

"Im guessing your in Slytherin with Tay then?"

Hugo turned to Fee. "Hey, do you know if Eino is invited?" He was kind off missig the spark of dry humour next to him.

Fee got out of her dream bubble when she heard Hugo talking to her. Oh wait, she had been in a dream bubble? What?!"I dont know",she shook her head,"but i could send him an owl to get here?"Was Hugo missing the third adventure buddy? How cute.

Hugo nodded. "That'd be great," He said.
"If the other Slytherin Queens agree, though," and Hugo giggled at the word.
He didn't know if any of those people had met the awesome Eino.

Fee laughed as he said "Slytherin Queens", it just sounded funny how he said that."Why shouldnt Cass and Freya agree?",she said,"and even if so, he is going to be my guest."It would be really cool if he joined the two.Just to be back to the trio state. Starting the new term with these two friends right beside her she felt sure it wiuld get really exciting this year.

"I suppose..." Kurumi said blushing and wishing that she could hide her face in her box of cookies. Her hair wasn't turning some strange color, was it? "Baking isn't too difficult if you follow a recipe," she said still with her hands covering her cheeks. "I can teach you some simple recipes if you want."

Kurumi sheepishly played with her hair. Advent calendar? She felt as if that was yet another thing she should already know. Was it something to do with the wizarding world? She hadn't come across it in any of the books she had read. "Hugo," she half whispered. "What's a...a...a..." she felt like such a innocent house elf. "...advent calendar?"


"It certainly was...lively," she giggled. About as lively as a cornish pixie to be honest.

Then Kurumi's head tilted so far to the side that it was either going to roll right off or she was going to see the world upside down. Alone again? Did that mean what Kurumi thought it meant? Had Hogwarts' picture perfect couple actually...broken up? Kurumi had always thought of them like, well, cookies and milk. They just went to together in perfect harmony. Kurumi looked down at the floor and kicked a nearby balloon. "I'm sorry..." she whispered before flinging herself at Fee. Now probably wasn't the time for such serious conversation as now was a time to celebrate. Still, Fee didn't have to always act so strong - not with Kurumi. Merlin know Kurumi shed her share of tears last term.

"Was always here." Alex chuckled.

He wiggled his eyebrows at Fee, he didn't have to ask her what she was doing. They knew each other too well. "Oooh hold on people, what's going on here, eh?!" he chuckled. Go on people, start the rumours why don't you? Pretty amusing and annoying as well...

He grinned a cocky grin at her running a hand through his hair. "But of course you do." He fought the urge to ruffle her hair. Even though he found that so amusing he knew that she wanted to keep her hairdo pretty at the party. Giirls, *sigh*.

"Aaalways." he agreed seriously. Feeflower and Allialex the indestructable. No matter how much people tried to bring them down or come between them, no one would succeed.

Draven didn't seem to know what New York was... "You know, um America? The United states?" Alex said trying to jog his memory, perhaps someone had cursed him or something? Ah that would be mean, everyone should know about New York. Fantastic city...

"No I'm a transfer." he chuckled. "I haven't been to Hogwarts so haven't been sorted but I'm hoping for Slytherin." he smirked.

"Well, you need to be "glittered" by Fee" Rex laughed. "Edmond is ok, but he never owled Fee or told her he was going to leave HogWarts" Rex explained to Hugo. " You are way too nice not to tell her anything" Rex tpld Hugo. Why have you not told Fee you like her?" Rex asked Hugo.

" Well, it is about time I saw you" Rex told Fee. " I really thought you were going to come around Jason's castle, but you never showed up" Rex sighed. I could forgive you if you found a nice boy, espcially if his name is Hugo" Rex explained to Fee. Rex winked at Fee. He hopes she gets the idea. " Why don't you glitter Hugo?" Rex asked Fee "Thanks for the hug" Rex smiled.

"Ahhh, yes. Ok, i know the place you are talking about now".

He remembered his father had mentioned to him about America while telling stories to him when he was younger. The way Alex talked about America and New York peaked Draven's interest. He figured he would have to make a trip there sometime and see this land for himself.

Alex sort of looked at Draven strange when asked about whether or not he was in a house already.

"You will have to forgive me Alex, im still very new to all this. I am the first of my bloodline to attend Hogwarts so i do not know all that is involved with student transfers, etc".

"Never the less, i hope you get into the house that you want".

Draven decided to walk around and mingle while Taylor caught and chatted up with some of her other friends. He decided to refill his drink at the punch bowl in the back.

Kurumi, feeling a bit overwelmed by the crowd that had formed, decided to break away a bit and check out the drinks and snacks that were laid out. She probably should set her cookies down on the table for the others to take should they so desire. It was then that she noticed a boy she had never seen before. His long hair startled her for a moment as she had never seen a boy with hair almost as long as her's. "Um...hello," she said meekly bowing. "I-I-I'm Kurumi."

Draven was refilling his cup when a girl walked up to the table. She was a slender girl with long jet black hair. She seemed to be looking for a place to put a plate of cookies down. She then introduced herself as Kurumi.

"Uh, hi there. How you doing Kurumi. My name is Draven" he said smiling.

"Your name is unique, what heritage are you if you dont mind me asking?

"Nice to meet you, Draven," she said slowly. Names with 'v's in them were always a little difficult for her to say properly. "I'm half-Japanese half-British," she explained timidly. It was still hard for her to talk about being half despite people outside of Japan not seeming to care about that. "My father is British and my mother is Japanese."

"Well, that would be kindof weird with Malfoy around wouldn't it be?" Hugo asked to Rex.
"And I guess just fear of getting rejected..." he said looking around.

Hugo felt kinda ashamed for not expecting people to know about the stupid muggle's traditions.
"Well..." he brought out.
"Err... It's like a calendar to count down to christmas but you can count down to other things to. Every day you take a little present or treat from the calendar untill you are there," Hugo vagely explained.
He hoped she knew what Christmas was.

Hugo felt like there couldn't be a party without Hogwarts' best trio complete.
Well... If you don't count the "Slytherin Queens".
"I can send him an owl, the postal office is just around the corner I expect..."

Kurumi was a very polite and well mannered girl. He could tell with her accent that she had a hard time pronouncing his name correctly but that didnt bother him. He was surprised that she was half British and half Japanese and wondered how that came to be. But he didnt intend to pry for that information as it would be rude. Maybe if he became friends with her he could ask her that at a later date.

"Thats very interesting Kurumi and pretty cool" he said.

Draven was finding out he was meeting all sorts of interesting people and figured it would get even more interesting when he started at Hogwarts.

"So, what year are you at Hogwarts?"

Kurumi felt a sense of relief wash over her like a soft mist on a hot day. Why was it that people in her town were so judgemental about her being half. Not only that, but now she had people in the wizarding world who judged her for being a half-blood. There was just no running away from it.

"I'm a second year," she smiled finally calming down enough to not play with her hair. "Gryffindor." She didn't remember seeing Draven around Hogwarts last term, and he was pretty easy to spot in a crowd. "Are you...a transfer student?" He certainly did not seem like a first year - unless he drank a billion cups of milk every day as a child.

Cass was surprised that Hugo was talking to her. Shouldn't he be using this time to finally get Fee to like him or something?

"Alright. Just rested at home. Went shopping." Cass said. "How about you?"

Cass smiled and said "Well, Fee and Freya helped with the guest list." Even if she was the one who set all this up...she didn't want to leave out her Slytherin Queens.

"Yeah, I am. Because you haven't been coming over." Cass said jokingly "The manor has been wonderfully absent of you."

"No, I'm just really surprised of the unusual color scheme that you chose." Cass said with a smile "You sort of look like...uh, Ketchup and..Mustard"

Cass smirked as she shook her head, making her blonde curls sway behind her. "Its alright, Fee." Then she looked around and asked "So, what do you think?"

Cass smiled gently while Kurumi blushed enough for ten people. "That would great!" She said happily when Kurumi offered to teach her how to bake "But, I wouldn't want to be a bother..."

"Oooooooh! We don't have those in Japan," she said with her violet eyes full of excitement. She would have to do some research and see what they looked like. Perhaps she would take Hugo's advice and make one for...well...whatever occasion seemed fitting Perhaps she could make one counting down to finals!

"It's no bother at all!" Kurumi said shaking her head back and forth so fast that it probably could have come off.
