"Chris!" Hey!" Demetria remembered meeting Chris before the term had started and she had been looking for him ever since. "How are you?" she asked.

"Really?" said Allie. "I absolutley cant wait! This is going to be a great year, I think. Even if it has started off kind of rocky"

Via walked inside the common room. Woah! it's filled with Gryffies. She sat at an empty couch and saw that Allie and Anna. When's Anna's birthday? she asked herself in silence, then she remembered it. She smiled at first years and some other older students.

Having just been healed after falling into the lake Nathaniel stumbled into the common room with his leg still hurting. He looked around and sat down wondering where Sophia had gotten to.

Allie was practically going crazy, it was Septemeber 19, and it was Anna's birthday! Anna was off with her distraction somewhere, and who knows when they will be back?
SHe had already handed out these invitations to everbody:

She went throught the list in her head:
Decorations
Cake
.....what else was there?

Sneeze came in and found a comfy chair. He didn't really know that many of his own house. He propped his book and read.

Demetria walked into the common room. It had been a slow and slightly boring day. She went to go walk to her favorite chair and found a boy sitting in it. "Wow!" she thought "I finally found a guy in the common room." so far every time she walked in here it seemed like it was nothing but girls. "Hello. I'm Demetria." she said to the boy.

Anna made her way back into the Common Room, looking around for Erica. Where was she? She was supposed to meet Anna in the Common to take a trip to the hospital wing. When Anna didn't see her, she made her way over to Allie and Via. Maybe one of them had seen her around.

"Either of you two girls seen Erica around?" Anna asked. "We were supposed to meet up to take a trip around the castle. Only, I can't find her anywhere."

Sneeze looked up from his book. "Oh, a yeah. Seems I am the only guy. I'm James. James Longbottom. People call me Sneeze. Nice to meet you, Demetria." He looked up at her. "Oh, you must have wanted to sit here. I'm sorry. I'll just..." He moved to the next chair.

As soon as Astrid spotted Anna, she winked at Allie and started to call for her cat. "Here kitty kitty." she called over and over again. When she reached the spot where Anna and Allie were standing, she looked up at them and said, "Have any of you seen my cat? I can't find Allegra anywhere and I'm terribly worried. She's so small, she shouldn't be wandering the castle alone."

"Don't worry about it." she said. She blushed a little hoping she hadn't been too rude."So....what are you reading?" she leaned over trying to look at his book but couldnt catch a peek.

"Well, I think Imma go to bed." said Chalice. "Good night all." and Chalice waved to her friend Chris and went to bed.

Just as Anna had gotten a question about Erica out of her mouth, in walked Astrid, apparently looking for her cat, Allegra. "Hey, Astrid," Anna greeted. "I'm guessing you've lost Allegra?" Astrid confirmed that Allegra was indeed missing when she finally approached Anna and Allie. "Oh, no! When's the last time you saw her?"

"I don't know? she said in a panicked voice. "I guess this morning, when I fed her her favorite treats. And now she GONE!" she cried. "Come on, Anna. You've gotta help me find her." she said, and before Anna could object, she grabbed her by the wrist and drug her out of the Common Room.

Bree came down the stairs with bag on shoulder. She wanted breakfast. She would have to find her way downstairs again. Now how did she do that? She wandered, deep in thought out of the room not paying attention to anyone in the room.

Liesel walked into the common room and looked around. She spotted Allie, a second year, and smiled.

"Hey Allie! Is...someone calling a cat?"

She then notcied everyone bustling about. "What...what's going on?"

Anna was politely nodding, trying to form ideas in her head about where Allegra could be. "Oh, Astrid! I'm so sorry," Anna said, reaching out to hug Astrid. Before she could do so, though, Astrid had grabbed her by the wrist and practically man-handled her to get out of the Common Room! "ASTRID! What is the meaning of----......"

And with that, Anna Greingoth disappeared from the Common Room.

Allie watched as Astrid dragged Anna out of the Common Room. Gotta love Astrid, she made the perfect last minute distraction, because Cale had to get into that fight with Anna......
"OKAY EVERYBODY!" Allie shouted. "ITS PARTY TIME!"

Gwen peeked out from behind a curtain.

"Are we hiding until she comes back?"

Cale walked down from the boys dormitory, stretching his arms behind his back as he walked down the stairs. He paused as he reached the common room and heard Allie shout something about a party. "What's going on?" he asked the second year, wrinkling his eyebrows as he walked up to her. "A party?"

Liesel spotted Cale from across the common room. Seeming like he knew just as much about what was going on as she did, Liesel walked toward him with a grin.

"Do you know what's going on?" she asked in a low voice, trying not to sound obvious, "I mean, I thought I heard someone calling a cat, and then I see Anna being thrown out."

"FInd some hiding spots now, but you don;t have to go into the right away!" said Allie excited.
Allie turned to Cale. "DOnt tell me you forgot ALREADY, Cale?" said Allie. "It's Anna's birthday, I'm throwing her a surprise party for her Sweet Sixteen..I told you at the...feast.."

Daphne sat on the sofa and observed people move about nervously. This was quite an interesting party if anything. Her hazel eyes landed on the empty table nearby and she quirked a brow. "What about the refreshments?"

Oh. Duh. Truth was, he HAD totally forgotten with everything that had happened the past week. "Oh. Yeah. Right," he said with a sheepish smile. Should he stay in the common room? Anna would probably want him to leave. Or go jump off a cliff, one of the two.

Sticking his hands in his pockets, he remembered that he still had the box containing Anna's present in his robe pocket. He had been carrying it around ever since he bought it so he wouldn't lose it, but he hadn't taken it out after the breakup. He had just...forgotten. And now, he was totally confused and lost and he didn't know what to do.

"Well, this a good spot, I'm staying here," Gwen said cheerfully, and disappeared behind the curtain. You could just make out her boots at the bottom.
