Rapunzel snorted out loud when Lima used her little phrase! HA! I'm rubbing off on her! "Princesses aren't baaad," Pretzel said, the corners of her mouth twitching. "Look at the Princess Rapunzel! Whaaat a great name, wouldn't you agree?"

Taking her hands down from her head (as she realized that probably looked ridiculous), Rapunzel just caught the last bit of what her friend was saying. "Bbbut Lima," she mumbled slowly, an odd sparkle in her green eyes, "What if I am the one not coming back next term?"

Heheh, let her think about that one!

Having hearing Astrid say this Ross knocked Becky off of his lap and wiped watever saliva rthere was from his tounge off then ran over to the gryffindor table to join them.

Jayne fell "Hey!" she followed Ross over to the Gryffie table

Jude carefully stepped up to the Hufflepuff's table, scanning the heads for the familiar little girl he knew.
"Aly..." he whispered to himself, "Where are youuuu?" he said as he went along one side, and then turned to go down the other side.

As Jayne went to walk along to the Gryffie table she heard a Slythie calling for a Gryffie, looking around, she realised it was Ross's girlfriend, Jayne ducked and sat down

Vannie jumped a little when she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around slightly to see who it was, expecting it to be Miles. "Oh Hey Terry," She smiled as he sat down next to her. "Where else would I be? Us puff's own." She smirked as she looked at him.

"Ahh. Yes. Seems they have," She sighed, as she looked over at the Slytherin house. However much she loved being in hufflepuff, she would give anything to be in Slytherin, just to be with him. "What house are you in then?" She asked, as she realised that she actually didn't know.

Jayne sniggered "COBBY!!" she turned back to the table and acted as though nothing had happened

Terry raised an eyebrow at her knowingly, hardly bothering to hide his smirk. 'Hoping it might have been someone else, maybe?' He asked nonchalantly, pouring himself out some pumpkin juice.

He followed her gaze towards the Slytherin Table, scoffing lightly in reply. 'The best house that there happens to ever have existed, hands down.' Pausing dramatically for effect, he swallowed down some chicken then declared smugly, 'Gryffindor.' Piling food unconsciously onto his plate, he leant for a fork, 'And I suggest instead of pining to be with the Slytherins? I say you make your way to my table rather hastily.'

As Vanessa spoke to Terry, she heard that rather annoying Hufflepuff talk again. "Cobby? How origonal Jayne." She rolled her eyes before she returned her attention to Terry. "Well It's not every day you come walking down here," She smirked as she picked up a goblet, and took a sip from it. "And what if I was hoping it to be someone else?"

"Good pride," She smirked as she watched him. She giggled as she watched him pile food onto his plate. Just like Miles, it must have been a boy thing. "And what would be good in that? One my boyfriend is at the Slytherin table. And two, Your Here," She smirked, as she looked him up and down jokingly.

Whitney would have to bring up Lima's self-esteem before she went to Paris. If not, than she really would get her polar bear,not that she minded. "Either that, or I can see the future" she said raising her left eyebrow. Okay, so Whitney was kidding about planning for three years, but she loved that Lima believed her. "Give or take," she said seriously, "When I said I wanted a polar bear, I meant it." After a short pause,she couldn't hold it in anymore,and she started laughing.

Eva was quiety sitting and eating. She had had a calm afternoon and now was only waiting for the train to arrive. She glanced to see if any of her friends were around. She saw some known faces but she didn't speak to any of them.
The girl had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Terry turned to stare at the random Hufflepuff butting in, eyeing her sceptically. 'Do you...know her?' He asked Vannie, cocking an eyebrow in question. 'Is she causing you trouble? Maybe I can take care of her for you?' He waggled his eyebrows suggestively, then laughed, chewing thoughfully on some more chicken.

'Hrmm, as flattering as that was Vannie, a part of me still believes you were hoping it to be, a certain male Slytherin of yours...' He cleared his throat significantly, then nudged her elbow teasingly. 'Speaking of, how's he been? How're you two? I haven't talked to him, not even seen a smidgen of him since that day by the stupid acorn tree.'

He looked at her mock-disappointment, 'Vannie, Vannie, Vannie,' He tsked, 'If you really wanted me over by that Gryffindor Table with you, you'd have promptly gotten up from this table and physically dragged me over.' His lips trembled in laughter slightly at the sudden image that flew into his mind. A miniscule titch like Vannie trying to drag someone like him across the Great Hall? LOLOLOL.

Vannie sighed, as she realised Terry had seen that girl. Oh great. "A little," She admitted as she followed his gaze over to the girl. She'd seen her in the common room a couple of times. "Unless you call her calling me stupid names trouble then I think not," She shrugged, as she turned away and continued eating.

"And maybe I was," She quietly spoke, as she felt her cheeks blushing. They always betrayed her whenever Miles was mentioned. "Hmm. He's good," She nodded as she glanced over at the Slytherin table again, and smiled. Just looking at him made her happy. "We're....better now." She nodded, practically beaming at her words. She was glad that they were good now, everything had worked out thankfully. "There's always the train journey," She nodded, hoping that they would see each other because they were best friends after all.

"Well I could still do that now," She smirked as she dropped her fork onto the table, and went to grab his arm before she giggled. "But I doubt I'd get very far," She pouted a little. Her height would be her disadvantage there. "But you could always drag me to the Gryffindor table. Although I doubt that Evolette or Miles would be happy at that." She added with a grin.

Jayne looked around "Why are you talking to me? All these people and you blame me... well... Cobby, I WILL get you..." Jayne smirked "I promise" she told her

Hearing a person speak Jayne turned to him "Go and take care of your dungbeetle, she wants to kiss you" she blurted out while giving the guy a dirty look.

"Oh, get lost Cobby, or should I say Cotton wool?" Jayne smirked "You are about as clever as it" she laughed bitterly

Kayla nodded in agreement with Penny. "This is so true, I just wished it didn't have to happen to me" she chuckled lightly. "Well I hope we get to see each other over the holidays some time, I can see us having some good times."

"No problems Lima" Kayla replied and then she looked at the older girl thoughtfully for a moment. "Look I hate interferring in other people's relationships but maybe you and Mads should try and stop making each other jealous and making snide comments to each other" Kayla looked over to Mads and then back to Lima again. "Maybe you two should go your separate ways for a while, if you're meant to be together then you will find your way back to way each other" she shrugged as she gave her a smile.

Kayla spotted Eva sitting not too far from her and she grinned. "Hey Longwood" she called out to her. "Aren't I good enough to talk to anymore?"

A time to celebrate accomplishments and solemly say goodbye for the summer. Same as spring to summer, the cycle continued.

One boy though seemed immune to the bittersweet taste of the day. What food he did not eat was discreetly being shuffled into a bag he kept under the table. Chicken, potatoes, even some pumpkin juice went in there.

Helios appeared to be preparing for his usual summer vacation. No train for him.

Kayla watched Helios for a long moment as he stuffed food into a bag under the table and she got up from her chair and walked over to him. Leaning down she whispered into his ear, "Preparing for another stint in the forest are we?"

"Hey." Eva raised her head to see Kayla. She stood up and then sat down next to the other girl. "Why would I talk to you?" she teased in reply to Kayla's comment.
"How's life?"

"Why would you not?" Kayla replied flipping her hair and then bursting into laughter. "Life is very, very good Eva" she looked over to the Slytherin table and then back to Eva with a huge smile on her face. "So what are your plans for the summer?"

Oh. Eve followed Kayla's gaze to the Slytherin Table.
"Seems like I'm going to have a busy summer. I have to catch up with your love life, Miss." the girl glanced again at the sytherin table. "I can tell you and Nico are back together... Tell me all about it."

The prince blinked several times, almost dropping the apple in his hand. "Yes..the centaurs and the spiders have been feuding over territory. Neither of which are happy about my annual camping trips."

Hiding the embarassment of his scavenging behind his trademark grin, those sky blue eyes looking Kayla over. Body language telling him a story.

"How ever could you tell?" Kayla giggled as she glanced at the slytherin table again. "Yes we finally made up, just before the feast actually. Ah Eva I am so happy" she grabbed her friends hands and squeezed them. "But enough about me, what's been happening with you."

"Can't say I blame them" Kayla chuckled lightly. "You know there are other places you can stay you know."

She didn't miss the roving eyes of the prince and she smirked slightly. "Like what you see, Helios?"

"So... I'm waiting. I want to hear every single detail." Eva insisted, mostly because her life was just... boring. Yes, that was the problem. Her life was boring.
"There is nothing to tell, really. Life is still the same for me. Elli keeps being the person she is, Sebastian still dates me and he might be around. Not anything very interesting happenning at the moment." she shrugged.

Emalyn nodded. Yeah time has a way of slipping past us. Like dust bunnies under the radiators." she hummed lightly as she poured herself some more pumpkin juice. Might as well fill up on it while I'm still here, she thought.

Oh yeah, we should definitely blame it on the Championships!!" Emalyn wriggled an eyebrow and sighed. "Goodbye, loverly table..." she cooed to the table she was caressing. "Yup, I'll blame the Championships for me saying my farewells to various objects!"


When Ella warned her not to choke, it just made Ema giggle uncontrollably with the food still in her mouth. "Yemaugf!" she managed to get out, before she spit the contents in her mouth into her napkin discreetly. "Now, real talent would be copying Arnold Schwarzeneggar with that biscut in my mouth. But alas, it is not to be." Ema looked down sorrowfully and took a sip of her pumpkin juice, releasing her mouth from the dryness of the biscut. "Oh? Well, seeing family is always fun, especially cousins."
