Savannah grinned, looking over to Punz and Kaika whom called her and Ella over. Glancing back to MJ, she noticed the girl getting up to go somewhere, and shrugged her shoulders, rising from her seat as well to go over to the girl's bursting with energy. Then, someone caught her eye, Molly! "One minute Pretzel!" She called back, letting her know she would come but had something to do first.

Coming back to reality, Molly realized she was blocking the flow of traffic through the door and quickly made her way over to the Hufflepuff table. After glancing around to see if she see any of her old friends, she took a seat towards the back end of the table.

The room was quickly filling and she new the first years would soon be there and the speech would quickly follow. 'This is my last time to see sorting, my last year here' she thought as she placed her chin upon her hand.

Walking quickly and as quietly as she could, Savannah was begining to be proud of herself for not tripping but thinking this was 'speaking to soon' so to speak, once she arrived at Molly's side, she tripped. Easily catching herself before meeting the floor on new basis, Savannah beamed as she straightened up, and hugged the seventh year. "Mollllly! Come on, get up" She insisted; maybe she was just a little overly excited too, considering she was now trying to help Molly up without her saying 'okay' or anything. "Come on, you have to come sit with everyone! Rapunzel and Kaika and Ella and" She mused, taking another peek over at the group. "And Sam." Sam had just arrived, yes yes.

Elan smiled as she continued to ask questions. He was starting to feel less nervous and more comfortable. "Well, I've only been here a few minutes, but so far it's amazing. What about you?" he asked Christine.

"Yeah, firebolts are awesome though," Punz said, still hyped up about that bit o'news. "You are right though, you know, I flew a school broom my first year and we still won the championship...like we're going to do THIS TERM TOO! WOOOT!" She laughed a bit evilly and then ate the rest of her buttery roll in one bite.

Yummmeh.


"Hufflepufferness, you know, it's like an adjective," Punz giggled. "Er, something like that.....that means we're super-awesome...."

She took a big swig of pumpkin juice at Ella's suggestion to 'cool down'. "I can't be chill, I'm too excited for this term!" She was literally bouncing in her spot on the bench. "And anyways, I gotta go recruit me some Huffies for the team!!!" Punz would have suggested El try out, but she remembered the older girl's feelingss when they went into Quality Quidditch Supplies....

Still super-bubbly, Rapunzel heard Vannah call to her down the table and she nodded. Sure. Patience. More practice.

She felt the bench bounce a little as someone else sat down and she looked to her right, noticing a somewhat familiar boy....wasn't he in her Transfiguration class that one time? Yeah? They'd met before.....

"ELLO!" Punz practically shouted in his ear. Hyper didn't even begin to describe her right now. "You missed my amazing speech about The Golden Goodness of Butter and how Hufflepuff is going to dominate this term....well...more domination than usual....you know...."

I am actually in shock Christine said laughing. I didn't know a wizarding world until a few weeks ago, so it's a lot to take in. I'm just really excited for classes to start. Christine stomach started to rumble again. And I guess really hungry too she said laughing again. I hope the feast starts soon.

Elan listened to her excited answers. "I'm the same way. I didn't know about it either. Sad part is my mum told me after I got my letter she's a witch and went to school here."

He felt hsi stomach grumble and nodded. "Me too."

Wow Christine said. My dad was a wizard, but I didn't know him. My mom is a teacher and sent me here since I wasn't doing good at my old school.

"Oh." He wondered what happened to her dad. "What happened to him?" ANd she seemed to have a history with school. "She thinks it would be good to be here? How come she never told you about the magic?"

Well, she was being right often than usual. Though it was something more of common sense than anything else, really. "Yep, yep, I know they are" that's why she told her uncle which was the one she wanted, hopefully it'll do her good this term, more speed was definitely needed.

She smiled, it must feel amazing to win the Cup, they had to do it this term. Kaika couldn't help to laugh when she mentioned 'domination' to the boy who sat close enough from them, "More than usual? That sounds about right!" she also couldn't help to wonder why everything sounded good and better this term. Right. Hogwarts again. It was clearly way too different from last time.

The boy in question did miss the most important part of the night. Not the speech from the Headmistress, but the speech from the new Captain.

Molly was ripped out of her daydream state as her body was lifted into the air. "Oh!" She turned her head to see her friend, Savannah, behind her. "Hey, Vannah. OK, I'll come sit with every one." Molly adjusted her robe and walked with Savannah towards the group. She hoped she would remember her classmates names correctly, Molly had never been good with names.

"Hi all" she said with a grin on her face. She felt so good seeing her fellow Hufflepuffs sitting together. There were even a few new faces, all looking eager to start the new year.

"So, have you flown the firebolt yet?" Punz asked. "I mean...just out of curiosity...." No doubt Kaika would be ever super-speedier on it...if that were even possible, for her to play faster...

Yay, Vannah was joining them at last....but who was that with her? "Er...Molly?" Punz blinked when she heard her Prefect say the name. But oh - Punzie had a memory for Huffie Quidditchers!

"HEY! You were my captain!" she beamed and rushed forward to give the older girl a hug. "Remember me? Er, at all?" They had only really seen each other on the quidditch pitch...a long time ago....

Curt finally stepped into the Great Hall and beamed; good memories surged into his mind. He had missed the nice tables and the warm atmosphere's, unlike the miserable Cooper's. He scanned the Great Hall and saw many familiar faces as well as new ones. Then finally, his eyes scraped the staff table and he spotted that old Slytherin Prefect Cassandra Trelawney. She had scared Curt a little bit, and he made a mental note to avoid all possibilities of running her path.

Finally he arrived and saw all of his old friends. His face fell, however, as he noticed that Amelia was missing from the table. He hadn't heard from her, but he knew she was hoping for a career in Quidditch. Curt sighed and walked over to everyone else, Vannah, Punzel, Kaika, and Sam. "Hey guys, how was the summer?" he said with a smile, looking around to all of them and at a lack of a prefect badge this term. Curt was willing to see who the new guy prefect was gonna be.

Curt then looked to Punz, and the next thing he noticed next to her vibrant smile was the new Quidditch Captain Badge. Curt flashed the fifth year a big smile as he began to sit down across from Vannah. "Hey captain! Congrats on the new position, looks like we are a shoe-in for the cup." he said with a definite nod, bouncing in his seat waiting for the Headmistress to give her speech.

Eva sat down quietly at her table. She was feeling better: calm, relaxed, even though that a little tired. She had enjoy the trip on the Hogwarts express. She had actually met a nice Slytherin. Of course she wasn't couting with Alyss. That... Liam was Emily Greenwood's brother and had been with Ellie a couple of times. it was surprising he was a nice person, she though with a smirk.

The young witch drank a sip of her pupkin juice, enjoying the environment of the Great Hall.
It was awesome to have Hogwarts back...

... right?

Savannah was very, very pleased, guiding the way just a little bit further down the table to join everyone else. About to sit, the sixth year ducked down swiftly, checking for mister mischivous tabby. Tiger was there, prowling around 'his' territory, being amazingly careful of the many legs and feet on either side of him as he moved in and out of them just barely missing grazing a foot or two.

Shaking her head ever so slightly, Savannah straightened up and settled on the bench again, this time in a different spot than the last time, near that quiet kid. "I knew the older 'puffs would remember you, Molly" Savannah said, positively beaming once again. It had only been two years, after all.

Now, what was Rapunzel and Kaika's shouting about before? Opening her mouth ask this, she closed it before any words could escape. Curtis had arrived, "Hey Curt!" She greeted, warmly, as usual. Aha! Finally someone pointed out what she was missing. Head tilting to the side to get a better look at Rapunzel, she saw the captain badge she hadn't been given a chance to notice, till now. "Punzie Pretzel! Congradulations!"

Tammy saw Eva and hurried over. "E!" She grinned and sat down beside her. For some unknown reason the pair hadnt seen each other on the train.

She laughed at Vannah and said, "too long... Way too long." She smirked. She knew that Vannah was onto her, but that didn't phase her. "And I am good despite what may have happened on the Train." She winked.

She turned back her attention to Pretzel, who seemed hyped up on sugar. She raised her brow then whispered. "I dunno... I mean I didn't join last Term after Mads wanted me to, and I dunno if it'll be any different now..." She frowned slightly.

"Tammy!" she smiled and sighed in relief. "How are you? I haven't seen you in ages." they had been together just one day before the Hogwarts Express, but that didn't matter.

"Im fine taa." She smiled at her best friend and wondered how long it had been since they saw each other. "About 48 hours agho she guessed.

Hannah walked up to the table and sat down. She sighed as she realised she knew no one in Hufflepuff.

"Probably." Eve nodded in agreement. Have you seen... someone we know around here?" she asked with a sigh. She meant Sebastian, Alyss or worst, Jared.

Hannah was watching the two girls next to her. They were about 2 years old than her.She turned to them and said"Hi. I'm Hannah. I just moved here from Canada."She said with a grin. She was totally nervous they would laugh at her and she turned bright red.

Eva turned at the young girl:
"Hello. I'm Eva. Nice to meet´you, Hannah." she greeted. "Canada? Sounds cool. Enjoying Hogwarts so far?" she asked, although they had just arrived.

"Yeah. I like it. I used to go to a small witches only school there. It was horrible."Hannah said with a grin."I love Hogwarts! It's so...big!"she smiled at the girls.

Bella sat down by a lot of people she had never met before. She quietly began putting food onto her plate.

Grace saw Bella sitting uncomfortably by her self at the Hufflepuff table, so she quietly sat down next to her. "Hi, Bella!" she said, smiling. She was glad to see Bella; glad to see someone familiar. After all, Grace had just moved here not long ago... She started to fill her plate as well, just now realizing that she was ravenous after the long train ride.

Then Grace noticed Lillianna, a Slytherin first year, standing not too far away. "Hey, it's nice to see you." she said. "What are you doing way over here?" Grace asked, not impolitely.

Penny took a couple of bites of her food and looked around in awe. This place was big. There were alot of students as well. The only person she knew there was Maddox. She was going to have to make some new friends.
