Dominic was getting slightly bored of the feast already. All these hyperactive girls around, giggling and screaming with delight was giving him a headache. He rolled his eyes when he over heard perhaps the loudest one - blondie - mentioning something about good players graduating and hoping this year's team would step up to the plate. Sure he had though about quidditch. A lot, actually. But he never really considered trying out; not with all the other kids who'd been playing for years.


Shrugging, the third year sighed quietly as he heard Miss Blind Girl whining about something or other. At least she admitted it, but then the next thing she said was shocking! "Well I'm sorry that not everyone could be as outgoing or whatnot as you," he smarted back to her. Seriously, he was a quiet guy and that wasn't his fault was it?

Dominic blinked at what the girl finished with and then a smug look on her face like she had won. Not the case at all, of course. "Says who?" he asked, narrowing his eyes at her.


Dominic heard a small laugh next from the redhead, which caused him to avert his eyes away from Miss Clumsy for a moment and study Christine. She looked almost offended when he suggested that he was better by being a Pureblood; something of utmost truth though. "Do you have to ask that question?" he replied rhetorically, a smile playing on his lips.

He chuckled softly when he heard Christine ask about when the feast would start; to be honest, he was kind of hungry too. "Soon, I hope..." the fair-haired boy said, gazing off again.

Dominic couldn't help but notice how many of the female population seemed to be around, as though they multiplied. There were a couple guys sure, but the only one he had 'met' was the overly dramatic one in the streets when the girl stepped on his toe. That was when he turned back towards Christine and Clumsy Blind Girl; "I'll see you both later. Maybe." With that, he stood up from the Hufflepuff table and walked away, not really sure where his feet were taking him... not even noticing that Miss Clumsy Blind Girl was yet another girl he'd failed to get a name for, as was Miss Brunette...

The surprise was so vivid in his eyes as his mouth fell open to add more of it. Ella laughed. Gently put her hand under his jaw, said, "Dont open so wide buddy. I was a transferred student last term..so you can take me as a first year like you.." Happy that he felt less nervous now after some good exchange of words.

She smiled at the other first year when Elan introduced, "Hi there! How are you doing girls?" she asked casually and back to concentrating the food.

Ella clapped her hands together. "So we're!!" She almost squeeled but only softly as she was happy to see another person from London. She nodded whenever required while Kaika was talking about Beauxbatons and Belle. "There's no wonder you liked tobe there. It was awesome when compared to Belle. But what my parents did was...." she couldnt finish the sentence. She was still fuming over her parents about the school change. "I know how the students felt last term, but honestly I dont have big problems despite some misc. incidents.." she smiled and playing with forks.

"Without Sorting..I'm a first year of Hogwarts.." She laughed, it was so strange. "I hope so, my sisters told me about Hogwarts a lot.." she was in great hope to see the famous Hogwarts.

Smiling at Vannah as they were busy talking with lot of friends at a time. She turned over Zel, "I know you're excited. But save your energy for something..." she winked, hoping that she would understand what she was trying to say. "Cool!! I want to watch the try-outs atleast for some learning process." she informed her, and knew that Zel should very well aware of her Quidditch affection.

She sighed again. "My parents died in a car crash right at the beginning of summer. I'm living with Vannah now." It was getting a bit easier to talk about it now, she was surprised to learn. Maybe she'd almost heal eventually.

But before she could think about it some more she was put into a hug so tight that she couldn't breathe. "I'm glad babe. I'll do it for you and Mads. And Mia..." She smiled.

There was the rudeness she was waiting to rear its ugly head. Christine was thinking about what he said. So pure bloods were better than half bloods and muggle borns, according to Dominic. Something about that hit a nerve. Who was he to say that he was a better wizard than her. This was his first year here, just like her, and he didn't know what she was capable. The anger started to boil over, then Dominic got up to leave. Before he got out of her hearing range, she said in a loud voice so that she was sure that he heard her Well I guess you're one sad excuse of a pure blood if you got stuck in hufflepuff with the rest of us "ordinary" wizards.

Diana sat quietly beside Ella,tucking in her food,as she was very hungry.She saw her talking to a boy called Elan.Once in a while she looked at her,waiting her to introduce to someone.She thought as she looked at her,"She seems so responsible and caring.I'm not even half as good as that.I'll do what she told me to-'stick with the badgers'."She smiled to herself and kept gazing at the older girl.

Misty the Panda let go of her foot and with both her paws she tapped her cheek twice telling her she was sorry and then moved her head around as to curious to see if the girl was friendly. She then jumped up and down with her hands in the air seeing if she would pick her up. She spotted MJ talking to someone near by and she touched her nose and raised her hands

When MJ noticed that she had asked her a question just as she had taken a bite she felt bad. "I'm sorry, I should have noticed you were about to eat." she told her and blushed. "I really am sorry." she told her and once the girl smiled MJ relaxed. "Nice to meet you Miranda, I was here for my first and second year, and part of my third year as well, but I had to leave and go back home for some personal issues. I am a seventh year student now." she told her smiling. "I wish I could be a first year again." she told her and smiled. "Then perhaps I would have been here all seven years." she told her.

Penny looked around, then looked back at the panda. She picked up the panda. "Well, who do you belong to?" Penny asked her. She looked around again.

Misty pointed at a blond girl who was talking to someone and she tapped her nose. When the girl picked her up Misty hugged her. Misty loved to be carried and get picked up. She looked at MJ and tapped her nose.

MJ smiled as she waited for Miranda to response to her question. Suddenly she realized that she had forgotten a soft, cute, lovable and stuffed panda. She panicked and stood up quickly looking around for Misty. "Oh, no Misty?" she called out

Misty heard her name and she raised her right paw and tapped her nose.

MJ noticed that a little black paw and she saw that Misty was only a seat away She smiled and sat down relaxed. She looked over at the girl who seemed to be carrying Misty and smiled. "She hasn't been any trouble has she?" she asked her and looked at Misty.

Everyone who knew the Panda knew that she loved to cause trouble. She hugged the girl who was carrying her and smiled. "Her name is Misty, and I'm MJ." she told her.

Charlotte looked around the table and noticed a few groups of students chatting, however the only girl she noticed who looked to be about her age was one who seemed to be in a heated arguement with Elan, the boy she had met earlier, so avoiding that conflict- Charlotte continued to observe her surroundings.

When the panda hugger her, Penny was startled then she hugged the panda back. Penny noticed the blonde girl and smiled when she introduced herself. "Hi MJ. I am Penny. Quite a panda you have here." she said to the girl. Penny smiled at the panda and turned back to MJ. "No trouble. She just startled me." she said with a giggle. Penny hugged the panda again. "It is nice to meet you Misty." she said with a smile.

Oh no. Oh no. It was worse than Punzel had thought. "Awwww Leeeeemaaaaa," she mumbled, glomping her friend harder now. "I'm so sorry for you. If there's anything I can do to help you out...."

She trailed off and just nodded. "Yes. Quidditch is a good stress reliever too, ya know, I'm just saying...."

Whups there she went, she'd almost made it through five minutes without mentioning that sport...

"Nice to meet you Penny." she told her and smiled as Penny returned Misty. Misty crossed her arms and then touched her nose and hugged MJ. MJ rubbed her nose against Misty's and smiled. "Please behave I saw you looking at the suits and armor in the hallway." she told her and Misty touched both her paws.

"Don't try to look innocent you." she smiled and looked at Penny. "I'm sorry if she startled you, she likes meeting people and she likes attention" she said and let Misty go back and hug Penny once more then she went towards MJ and climbed up MJ's body and sat on MJ's head.

When Misty heard Penny say that it was nice to meet her she rubbed her tummy. "She says it's nice to meet you too." she translated to Penny.

She smiled and hugged her friend tight. "Thank you. I appreciate that. O really do." She was happy to have a friend like Pretzel. Actually just thinking of making McBolical plans was cheering her up. "The more SlytherPuffish things we do, the better," she whispered, winking.

She bit her lip. Pretzel had a point there. The training alone would help. And she had a feeling that the training would be intensive. She saw a glint in the girl's eyes that reminded her of Mia. "True... Very true."

Penny smiled at shook her head. "It is ok." she said with a smile and hugged the panda again. Penny laughed when the panda sat on MJ's head. "She sure is a smart panda." she said.

MJ smiled. "You have no idea," she sighed. "Sometimes way to smart for her own good, my second year at Hogwarts she decided to go exploring and well, she saw the suits and armors in the hallway and she decided that she would have a little bit of fun climbing them," she took in a deep breath and sighed. "She ended up making all of them fall by getting the idea that if she was like tarzan she could touch them all without running around and jumping up and down," she closed her eyes. "The rope she used to swing fell and when she went back to the common room she got a student to tug on the rope and they all fell." She felt so bad for the boy who had gotten in trouble for that. "Someone else ended up getting into trouble, he got detention for about a month." she told Penny and sighed. She felt horrible for the incident and wished she could apologize to that guy, but he had been a fifth year he was gone now.

" Hi MJ and Misty" Jason said as he walked slowly to the table." Hello Charolootte" Jason said. " My back is just doing better thanks to you MJ and Lillianna" Jason told her.

Penny could not help but giggle and shake her head. "I know that is not funny, but in a way it is." she said. She has not seen much of the school but she could almost picture it.

"I felt so bad!" she told Penny and got Misty of her head and sat her down on her lap. Now that she thought back on it she felt bad but it was a somewhat funny. It had been a good memory. "I have a feeling there are going to be more incidents like those this year." she said and smiled. "If Misty ever tries to make you pull anything be careful." she told her.

Misty was proud of her accomplishments and looked at MJ and touched her left ear. MJ's face saddened and shook her head.

MJ soon heard a friendly voice and she smiled. "Hey Jason," she then battered her eyelashes. "I am so tempted in calling you Jase can I please?" she asked him and when he said his back was doing better she clapped her hands together. "That's good I'm glad I was able to help." she told him and smiled. "Penny this is Jason, Jason this is Penny." she said introducing them

Jason says "You can call me Jase, MJ, but never call me late for dinner, lunch or breakfast"

Penny watched the exchange between MJ and Misty. It was neat. "I will watch out for her." she said with a smile. Penny sat quietly while MJ and the boy spoke. When MJ made the introductions, Penny smile at the guy named Jason.

MJ smiled at Jason and clasped her hands together when he said that she could call him Jase. Hey eyes widened with happiness and her smile was sincere "Thank you," she said. MJ sometimes could act silly, or just like a little girl whose parents had agreed to take her to the park. When he finished his sentence MJ smiled. "Hey, that's what my brother said to Saphire once."

MJ looked at Penny and she couldn't help herself. "Um, I hope I'm not bugging you, but I was wondering what year you were in." she asked her and put her face down. She sometimes couldn't help herself when it came to trying to learn things about a new person who she meet. She loved making friends.

Penny looked at MJ when she mentioned years. "I am in my sixth year. I just transfered here from Durmstrang." she said with a sad smile. She was going to miss her friends there, but it was a good thing that she was not there. "How about you? What year are you in?" Penny asked MJ.

Savannah looked up and over her shoulder to meet the gaze of voice owner addressing her by her usual nickname, she smiled brightly seeing it was Jordan "Hey Jor!" She gestured for her to take a seat along the bench with everyone, "Come sit? How are you?" Listening to her house mates and friends talk animatedly back and forth, Savannah reached for her goblet of pumpkin juice and took a small spit. Her hands retreating back to her lap as she set it back down. Gazing around the great hall in all it's chattery chaos, the brunette was so glad to be back around the warm and welcoming atmosphere the castle held. So the opposite of Belle's school.

As her attention shifted back onto her house table, she noticed a smaller girl out of the corner of her eye sitting on one side of Ella. Ocean blue eyes came to rest on her, unable to help from think she sort of reminded her of a first year Rapunzel, with her golden wavy hair. "Hello there!" She greeted, warmly.

MJ smiled at Penny. "I know how that feels, transferring from another school leaving everything behind.." she mumbled and remember that she had been accepted at Beauxbutoms (spelling?((can't spell grr..))..) and then the school had received a letter saying that if MJ didn't leave the school, it would suffer casualties. So she transferred from school's "You probably miss it don't you?" she asked then smiled. "Hogwarts is fun though you'll see. The teachers are awesome and so are the students, well...I can't say all of them since I just came back, I been gone for a bit I"m in my seventh year." she said proudly. She was tired of being called a first year, even thought she knew she wasn't. "Back in the train some people tried to push me around because I looked younger than them and I was finally able to say that I was older than them." she looked at Penny. "I was finally able to talk back to them, because now they have to respect me some, I'm a bit older than them." she said and blushed. "Sorry I blabber when I'm nervous, or even worried." she told her and smiled.

" Oh are you older MJ- you fooled me" Jason teased her. Jason whispered to MJ" Sorry, I am not talking to Penny but she reminds me too much of Jamie"
