Lima smiled and asked, "you have any family near her yourself?" She didn't think so but she thought she should ask to be sure.

She smiled at him. He was the most adorable kid. "It's okay," she said laughing. "Really. I was wanting to talk to you anyway. More about our plan." She winked. It was a shame that they never got the chance to prank people after all the chaos that Cayde and Max caused.


"I've been good. Mostly." She didn't want to go into the details of the Train ride, so she just left it at that. "What about you?" She grinned.

Then she remembered herself and said, "Oh, this is my boyfriend, Maddox." She smiled.

She broke out into laughter despite herself. "Yes, I did. Butterflies on a red background." She smirked. She knew that she had the ability to give him manicures if she worked her magic on him.

"Pics?" she asked, mischievously. Of course there were pics, but she had no idea if he had burned them all yet or not.

She sighed loudly. "There is no way to persuade you to let me do it? This sucks!" She wished that he wouldn't be so stubborn. "I had this nail design I made last Term. Kissing Bumblebees. It would have looked good. It's the Huffie colours." She winked at him.

She smiled at him and introduced Miles. "This is Miles, I met him in DA. He is the most adorable kid ever and wants to learn how to prank." She smiled and then had an idea. "You wanna help me teach him?"

Almost every boy she knew loved Quidditch, actually, all the boys Kaika knew loved Quidditch, there's got to be one or two that don't. "Oh, thank you, I'll probably need the luck" she said, with a smile.

"Absolutely, Chad. I wouldn't mind having someone to study with, either" the Muggle Studies lessons from Hogwarts would be way much better than the ones she had at Belle's. If she had to make a song for another homework she'd never get back to that class. "And it would be nice to be helped out by a Ravenclaw" she joked.

Oh, he had a bit of Slytherin in his family history. That's interesting. Kaika wished she had someone over at Ravenclaw, but she didn't, just Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs. Which worked out fine for her. She smiled wider when Quidditch was brought back, it was always a happy subject, unless someone messed with her favorite team or the House team, "Oh, you should try out, it's always an honor to be on team" this was pushing it a little, but he probably knew by now that she liked Quidditch very much, "Just trying out is fun" she added, not wanting to add pressure on the try outs.

Chad smiled happily and finished off his butterbeer with great satisfaction. The Ravenclaw had rarely drank butterbeer at his old school (they hadn't had it in their feasts), and realized he quite enjoyed the flavor.

"I'm still not sure If i should apply to Divination or Arithmancy.. I'm not really sure which would be more interesting" Chad said, pouring himself some more butterbeer and then handing one to Kaika. "Here.. It's no good drinking alone." Chad added, grinning in his boyish way, before going back to his prievous thoughts.

"My brother Adam took Divination and he seemed to like it" Chad murmered, thinking that he didn't really believe in seeing the future. Chad especially disliked the idea of fate as well.

"I think if I tried out I'd proably wouldn't take anything less then making the team... I'm very stubborn that way" the Blonde boy replied, thinking that it would be great to play on an actual team.
"What possition do you play anyway? I play Seeker myself, Altough I do enjoy playing Beater too" Chad added, taking another sip of his butterbeer.

She thought for a while before answering, even if he hadn't ask, she still wanted to give her point of view of both subjects, "Well, I've taken both" she started to say, "Prof. Shackleton is an amazing professor, she teaches Arithmancy, and the subject itself is rather interesting" she continued, it wasn't hard to be nice about a subject she liked, "Divination, well, I do like taking it, you can get quite creative with some answers, at least that's how it was in the past, I'm not sure how it'll go this term" that was something she'd forgotten to think about, the previous professor wasn't going to come back, and apparently, Prof. Kapoor from Cooper's was the one who'll be teaching this term.

Kaika smiled as he offered her a butterbeer. Yep, her favorite. The gesture just made her remember what her previous talk with Rapunzel had been about. Butter and butterbeer, and then bananas. All Hufflepuffiness around. And then Sam brought the sun up, and she never knew how that went. "Thank you" she said, taking the butterbeer.

Uh-Oh. Seeker. It brought all kinds of memories. Amelia as a Captain, the whole Championship game and her failure as a Seeker. Good and bad memories were brought together in her head. "Oh, I can't do seeking, I'm terrible at it" she said, deciding it was best to be completely honest, "However, I'm a good Keeper" she nodded, this time there was a smile on her face. Weird, though, her father was never good at keeping, "You know, my father played professionally before getting his job in the Ministry" he was a good Chaser.

"Hm, I see your point... Although to be honest, I don't fancy making up anwsers, I'd much rather go with something that's solid. Something I'll really enjoy" Chad said, thinking that he'd rather choke on flubberworms then take an easy class. That was one thing Chad couldn't stand having things easliy or not having enough of a challenge made him feel less worthy of himself. Especially when in school.
"I need a challenge, You know?" Chad finished with a small sigh.

"Your welcome," Chad replied, taking a larger gulp of his butterbeer and getting a little on his chin. The blonde boy pulled out his white and red hankercheif and quickly dabbed at it before it could damage his robes.
He didn't really mind being unclean. But, this was his first time wareing these robes and he wanted to make a good impression. Somehow he thought that would be easier without Butterbeer on his robes.

"I love playing Seeker and, not to toot my own horn or anything. But, I'm pretty good at it myself.. I've played Chaser before.. I'm not very good at it, I've never played as Keeper though... Is it fun?" Chad asked Kaika. He had watched his brother Vincent play Keeper and after seeing him get head in the stomech with the Quaffle decided to never try it.

"That's awesome.. What team did he play for? Chad questioned excitedly, he moistened his lips and wondered if he was someone Chad knew.

As Christine was enjoying her delicious chicken, she was Elan invite another girl to join us. Christine was actually enjoying meeting all these new people, since she didn't have many friends at home. Hi, my name is Christine. Glad to have you here in hufflepuff.

Christine swallowed the food she was chewing when she heard Elan say something. He was right. Not only did the food look good, but it taste great. It taste good too. Christine said to Elan. If my mom cooked this well, I wouldn't be this small right now she said with a laugh as she gestured to her slim body.

Dominic blinked absentmindedly when the all-too-popular brunette girl invited Hailey over to them. Not like he minded much really, considering how volatile most girls could be. Hailey seemed nice and all, but at the same time she was much too energetic for his liking.

He rolled his eyes, attempting to ignore the comment Hailey made about boys being rude. If girls weren't so loud and obnoxious, he thought to himself before looking at the other older girl who'd bumped curly-haired boy.


He sighed when the girl apparently took noticed of his constrained amusement at the situation. He might have responded, but she already seemed quite distracted by too many other students and thus it wasn't worth the effort to respond. So Dominic returned back to looking at curly boy.

Studying the boy for a few moments, he noticed how involved he seemed with his food. Food; the highlight of any boy's dreams. Not really sure how to really strike up a new conversation, Dominic chewed on the inside of his cheek slowly.

"Er. So what's your name?" he asked at long last. Names were a good place to start.



While waiting for curly haired boy to answer his question, Dominic could feel as though someone was glaring at her. He looked down the table and saw Christine; one look and he felt almost bad for leaving her behind. Though curly boy was more fascinating and didn't pressure excessive talking, as he would have had to do if he hung around girls... In a moment or two, he turned away and looked back towards curly boy.

He did push himself harder for some reason, Kaika was still undecided whether or not that was actually good. Clearly, it was amazing for Quidditch, but for the rest, well, she'd find out eventually, right?

Amazingly enough, she laughed. The boy could've been entirely serious, and Kaika Lockhart had to laugh. Typical. "Then you should take neither" she shrugged, "Though Arithmancy may be trickier than Divination, I think" to her, none seemed tricky, "You may like Ancient Runes, then, If you like challenges" she winked. Why on earth did she do that?

"Not that I know, I've never taken Ancient Runes" it wasn't a subject she'd liked, probably. Kaika was actually glad she hadn't drink some butterbeer at the same time she did, or she'd have spilled it too. She simply chuckled, before answering his question, "Fun? I've played beater, chaser, seeker and keeper on the team, of course, on different matches" she started to explain, "And I've never had the best time of my life as I did when I played Keeper" that should explain it, though she didn't mind playing other positions, she still liked Keeper best.

She nodded, "Appleby Arrows" she said, with a smile, "It was great, until he resigned, of course" and to make things even better she was never a fan of the team her father played for.

"Nooo it wouldn't," Punz waved her hand around. "Your pranky attitude would go wonderfully with, say, a POLTERGEIST costume!" Yeah! "Vampires are just scary, ya know." She nodded seriously. Punz was not in Gryffindor for a reason.

"Butterflies! I knew it! It has the word butter innit!" Aha, wasn't Rapunzel a secret diabolical genius? Heck yes she was.

"Pics....you know...pictures...proof...evidence..." things he probably already destroyed, sadly....

Ella rolled her eyes at the other boy who was also perfectly fit in the Weird or Strange or whatever the other name wouldbe, group of boys. She wondered as she was thinking of their innocense about girls. How could they learn or know about girls if they're not willing to move or even talk with them?! But apparantly it was not her job. So She moved from the place, not looking back unitll she reached her place.

"Poltergiest??!" Ella almost went to the hysterical laugh. Oh Goodness! Zel was absolutely hilarious. She leaned over to whisper in her ear, "dont worry. I wont scare you." she said with a chuckle but wondered about her freak out of Vampire outfits.

"Those long sharp teeth and knifey nails would be fun.." she winked, hoping that Zel would not get scared again.

"And yeah...you can thank my Squib father for the fairytale name." She rolled her eyes a little - her dad was a silly one but she loved him....and definitely more than her mom. "Sam. Right. Sam...yeah...much shorter there..." Hmm. Punz would hafta work on a nickname for him - maybe she could snoop around and get his middle name....eeeeeheeeehee.

Oh no, he'd heard Lima! "Manicures? Hmm?" Punz turned on her innocent-angel face. "No, don't be silly, why would Hufflepuff players ever need a manicure?" She blinked her long lashes innocently. "Manicures would be almost pointless, with Quidditch as rough as it is...." wink wink...



Punzie giggled at Ella; always so silly she was. "Yes. You would make the cutest little pumpkin, my friend." Ha. "And besides - you can't be a scary ole vampire! Pumpkin! Pumpkins are orange....a color close to HuffieMcPuffers..."

Huh, funny how almost every convo could relate back to the color gold. "Oh, sorry El, this is Sam." And I didn't catch his last name! AHA! It could have nickname potential!

Sam nearly fell off his chair as Punz got overexcited again. Really, she needed to cut down on the pumpkin juice....maybe give it to him..."Woah, that's brilliant!" he exclaimed. "I hadn't even thought of that! Bright and blinding..." he grinned widely at Rapunzel, a cheeky look in his eyes as he high-fived her.


"Yeah, I remember my dad tellin' me 'bout a Rapunzel...long hair, right?" Sam asked, her think of his own muggle father. "Half and half," he explained. "Samuel actually-McConroy," he replied, sensing her brain working on a nick name for him.


"Of course," he said, giving Rapunzel a knowing glance. Of course it would be pointless, but since when did girls care about that? He was almost completely sure that he'd have to keep an eye on the captain if he made the team. A manicure was something he would not sign up for.

But here Zel was mistaken. She thought Ella was talking about the other guy. But not a bad idea to talk with a guy. She smiled, "Oh.." she said, "Hi Sam!!" waved to him enthusiastically.

Sam turned his head in the direction of the other girl Rapunzel was talking to. "Hey!" he supplied after being introduced, grinning as a reply to her wave. "El, is it?" he asked. Now this was a girl he'd never seen before. Maybe she was a transfer-she seemed his age at least.

Tammy saw Jason as he asked her something and followed him to the Gryffindor table. God, what could he want? She mumbled a bye to Eva and followed.

'Still. I feel like, in comparison to yours, my life's a fairytale with just one unseen twist.' And it was, by the sounds of it. Nobody had ever said "no" to Mina, no one had raised their fist . . . Up until three years before it had been like a fairytale.

She snorted in spite of herself. Fairytale? They don't exist, she thought, cursing herself for her stupidity but unable to take the words back, no matter how much she wished.

'Marshmellows?' Mina frowned. 'What're marshmellows?'

Kairi grinned at Mina, "They're muggle food, and they're amazing. They're all gooey and squidgy, here," she said reaching into her bag and pulling out a packet with pink and white marshmellows in.

Mina's face was apprehensive, but she took the bag from Kairi with ease, opening it and pulling one of its treats out. She examined it for a moment, before glancing back at Kairi.

'These are Muggle food?' she asked, double checking. She'd never seen them before, which was strange, considering the amount of time she spent in supermarkets. Then again, when shopping, she'd only ever had eyes for what she needed.

Swallowing, she turned the marshmellow around for a moment before placing it cautiously in her mouth. The sweet taste unnerved her somewhat as she chewed it before swallowing.

'Okay. That was . . . different.' Mina coughed. 'But not pleasant, either.' She pulled a face, passing the bag back to Kairi.

Kairi shook her head. "Mina, Mina, Mina..." she said in a fake disappointed voice. "You do not have the gift, you must chew like you've never chewed before! And only then will you have the power to eat the marshmellow," she said in an old and wise voice, a small smile on her face. Then she grinned and took one and popped it in her mouth.

Ella was struggling to control the laugh as she saw the Sam guy was nearly fell of her chair by the over excited Zel. Naughty girl! She did understand that why everyone got excited around here. Hogwarts is Back!! But as brushed off her other thoughts, she nodded to him, "Yeah, you're right. But Ella Stone in full....." introduced herself well to him,"having tough time with Zel?" she asked with a laugh, but her brown eyes were scanning the boy from head to toe as usual.

Pheonix saw Kairi wince out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't mind, she often got funny looks when it came to the multitude of bruises she had on show.

'Don't worry about it, you get used to the funny looks and stuff. I just hate it when everybody keeps saying sorry.' said Pheonix, pouring some pumpkin juice into a goblet and taking a sip.Pheonix hated having sympathy, a little now and then wasn't bad, but at the moment everyone seemed to be sorry for her.

Pheonix nodded in agreement, you did, after about 2 or 3 days. 'Marshmellows?' Pheonix asked with a laugh. She hadn't had marshmellows in years, her mother had stopped buying them because she was afraid they'd make Pheonix fat.

'Some people do say that their lives are like fairytales compared to ours. But, as it says in a well-known Muggle song: 'Its not always rainbows and butterflies.'' Pheonix sang the last part of her answer, a small faraway look in her eyes. 'You don't know what marshmellows are?' asked Pheonix in surprise.

Pheonix laughed as Mina pulled a face after eating the marshmellow. 'That's what I first thought when I ate one when I was 7, there's a certain knack to eating them or you feel sick afterwards.' she said.

Pheonix laughed even harder at Kairi and wiped a tear of laughter from her eye. 'Oh Kairi, you'll be the death of me at this rate.' she giggled and had to take a sip of the pumpkin juice in front of her.

Kairi laughed with Phoenix, then offered her the packet. "You want one? Or are you like Mina and do not have the gift," She put both of her hands together then bowed, "All hail the powerful and mighty marshmellows," she said, once again in her old and wise voice.

'Thanks. I used to, I'm a bit out of practise though, let's see what happens.' replied Pheonix taking a marshmellow and putting it in her mouth. She pushed it to the right side of her mouth and began to chew slowly. A smile spread across her face as the marshmellow slowly released sugary sweetness onto her tongue. Not too slow and not too fast, just right. 'All hail marshmellows.' she said after she swallowed, still smiling.

ooc: Just to let you know, I didn't reply back or anything at DA with Cayde. Mainly because when I came back on there was LOADS of replies, and I couldn't keep up >.< So I know that Caydence bumped into Miles and fell over, but that's it. :/

Miles laughed. He was glad that Lima wasn't the cranky type, he knew he was. Miles loved his sleep, and anyone who attempted to wake him would lose their head. But, maybe it was a bit hypocritical of him too wake up Lima, but she was fine, so he left it there. "Oh. I see." Miles smirked, and glanced back over at the Slytherin table. Why was he in a mood with 'Hugie' and 'Lettie Loo' again? That's right, Hugo made fun of his girlfriend and Evolette completely ignored Miles when Hugo had arrived, it still annoyed him. Even though he was manly and could take it, although ... not that manly. "I'm really excited about this." He mused.

Mostly? What did that mean? Well, Miles was in that state too. But he didn't really want to talk about it. "Same, actually. I've been good, but not-.." He took another glance at his own house table. "..-Great." He shrugged. Uuuuugh. He was in a mood to prank people, or to possibly rip someone's head off. Miles smiled as he looked around Lima's shoulder to see her boyfriend.

Wow. He was much more ... macho than Miles. The green eyed monster creeped over ever so slightly, but he'd get over it. Just because he was a bit wimpy, didn't mean he could take it out on well built dudes. "Hey. I heard you were good at pranking people." He chuckled, trying to ignore the little voice that was telling him to compare himself to Maddox.

Kairi nodded. "Well done, Phoenix, you have the gift," she said in her old and wise voice, putting her hands together and bowing. Her legs were beginning to ache, she'd been standing up all this time, not knowing if she was aloud to sit down or not. "Hey, do you mind if I sit down?" Kairi asked, back in her normal voice.

Sam smirked, the girl obviously was a flirt. So was he...but not anymore. "A tough time?" he repeated glancing furtively at the energetic girl next to him. "Not at all!" Sam chuckled slightly, taking another swig of pumpkin juice, sugar invigorating his senses. Really, they should make this stuff mandatory at breakfast...and during Arithmancy. It would keep Sam up for sure. Probably everyone else too.

Pheonix grinned. 'No, I don't think anyone minds.' said Pheonix, scouting over so Kairi could sit down next to her. 'There are other houses sat down at the table.' she guestered towards a Ravenclaw and another Gryffindor sat down further down the table.

Fallon Chanel walked into the Great Hall and headed towards the Hufflepuff table. She found an empty seat and sat down. She looked around for that familiar head of Hair that stood out, taller than the rest. Miles was tall.
Where is he? she thought to herself, still having not seen him.
Her eyes scanned over to the Slytherin table, and she didn't see him there either. He was probably outside, running around like an idiot with his cape.
