Ella sat down at the table and sighed. The year was over. At least she got to see her mother tomorrow. And oh! That's right! Ella had almost forgotten. Her cousin Stephanie was going to visit her! Ella was so excited! She took some food and started munching away. Then she saw her friend Ema. "Hi, Ema," she said, still munching. "How are you?"

Brushing her brunette curls off her shoulders Vanessa wandered down the hufflepuff table, looking for someone she knew to sit with. This would probably be one of the only times she was actually going to sit that the hufflepuff table, she was normally sat with Miles.
As she walked down the noticed two Huffie's looking a little close for comfort, and a gryffindor girl, standing over them. She thought that she better talk to them before a teacher did so.
"Erm Guys?" She spoke as she stood next to the gryffindor girl, who looked a little angry. "No PDA remember," She added, with a smile as she put her hand on the gryffindor's shoulder, as to stop her from doing something that she might regret.

Astrid just rolled her eyes at the poor, confused girl's efforts. She would never stand a chance in a million years winning Ross over acting like she was. She would let her have her fun and bury herself in the process. When she was done, Astrid gave her a smirk and asked, "Are you quite finished then?"
Astrid turned around as she heard someone speak and recognized the girl almost immediately as Miles' girlfriend. She gave her a smile and said, "No worries, I was just leaving. There's a bit more civility over at the Gryffindor table."

Vanessa smiled as the gryffindor girl turned around, but suddenly looked confused at what she said "Civility?" She asked, as she glanced at the two hufflepuff's present, guessing that it was those two that the gryffindor was talking about. "Oh and I'm Vanessa by the way," She added, looking back at the Gryffindor girl.

Ema was busy playing with the food on her plate with her fork when she heard her best friend's voice. She looked up and saw Ella DeParra sitting across from her at the Hufflepuff table.

"Oh! Hi Ella! I'm good. What's up?" Ema kicked Ella's foot lightly under the table and gave her a wink. "Happy to go home? I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad, but...I'll be back." she tried to mimick Arnold Schwarzenegger but it turned out sounding more like Darth Vadar.
She stuffed a biscut in her mouth poured herself some more pumpkin juice.

Even the pumpkin juice was exquisite as always, although the food back at home was good as well, Kaika used to love much more the one at Hogwarts. Don't tell her grandma that.

She noticed the first year, or, not-so-first-year-now, Emalyn, talking to a friend of hers she'd once met in the Courtyard. "Hey Emalyn!" Kaika greeted from across, "You must be happy to head home now" she said, knowing that she was missing her family the last time she'd seen her.

Kaika, however, wasn't much thrilled to be heading home. It would mean that she'd gone to fifth year, and that meant...OWL's. Nothing amusing to her, really.

Emalyn swallowed her mouthful and looked up to see Kaika. Oh, Heylo earthling." Ema waved and took a sip of juice. "Sure, I'm a little happy about it...can't wait to tell them about it, and I really miss them. But I'll miss this place!" she smiled a little. "Least I'm coming back, though, right? Are you happy about going home?"
She could tell from the look on Kaika's face that the answer was leading to somewhat of a "no".

With another sip to her pumpkin juice, Kaika nodded as she answered.Of course she was happy about going home. She'd felt the same way on her first year, right? It was hard to remember whatever Kaika was thinking during her first year, everything seemed like a blur now.

"Yeah, everyone misses Hogwarts" she said, although there were a few who didn't. "Wow, you'll be a second year next time you come, nice" she smile, how silly that must have been, clearly that was something Emalyn already knew.

Her face changed a bit, as if she was deciding what to answer, "Umm, I guess a bit happy, but you already know I don't like leaving Hogwarts" at least it had been different the last time, when she knew she'll be going to Romania...now, she had no idea what her summer will be like.

Emalyn's eyes widened. She hadn't even considered what she would be the next term. She was already twelve, but the idea of being a second year excited her. "Wow, yeah...you're right!" Ema nibbled on a green bean as she listened.

"Yes...well, don't worry! You'll be back before you know it. Well, you'll probably know it when you get on the train to come back, but you still won't know it. Well you will, but you know what I mean..." Emalyn shook her head and grinned. Or maybe not...I haven't been making much sense lately."

Jayne smiled "No, I haven't" Jayne looked around wildly for something else to do, upon finding nothing to do, she licked Ross's face. Standing up and looking shocked she suddenly burst out with laughter, deciding to ignore what she just did, she sat down next to him and rested her head on his arm.

"Err Excuse me?" Vanessa asked, as she rolled her eyes. Surely that girl didn't understand what personal space once. "I'm pretty sure Mr. Milloy here does not want his face licked," She added, as she stepped slightly closer to the pair. "And as I have said watch the PDA"

Apparently, Kaika had been wrong. Emalyn didn't seem to give much thought about what she'll be next year. That was certainly unexpected. But at least, the soon-to-be second year knew about it now.

She couldn't help but laugh, "I know what you mean, don't worry" she said, a smile still on her face, "The summer always goes by so fast, you're right, I probably won't even notice the time apart" she said, nodding, and eyeing a very tasty-looking piece of pie.

"Neither have I" she said, with a laugh, referring to the making-sense thing, "The Championship probably wore on us" Kaika said, with another nod.

"Oh Get lost Cobby" Jayne hissed at Vanessa, turning back to Ross she hugged him from his side.

"If that is your attitude, I will go find a prefect," Vanessa spoke, as she looked down at the girl in front of her. "It might be the end of term feast, but I assure you Prefect Green will stil bite." She added, metaphorically at the end.

"Yada yada yada" Jayne said boredly "I'm so scared!!" she mocked Cobby

"You know manners go along way," Vanessa added as she rolled her eyes. and she calls herself a hufflepuff She thought as she turned to Astrid. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah, please go away" she said with a pained look on her face

Vanessa rolled her eyes. "I have a perfectly good reason for being here. I am a hufflepuff and I am talking to Miss Deschain." She spoke as she flicked her hair over her shoulder. Before turning her back on Jayne.

"nyah nyah nyah" Jayne yawned boredly "MISS??" Jayne snorted "Deschain??" she cracked up "More like 'Lazy Loser' " Jayne glanced over at Asterid

Astrid had an infuriated look in her eye, but other than that, not a line on her face to give away the way she felt. She looked at Vannie and smiled. "Yes Vanessa. I am more than okay. I was just on my way back to my table. Care to join me? I haven't seen Miles in awhile, you can tell me how he is." she said.

Then she glared over at Ross and said, "And there's room for one more when you're free from the grip of that....person, you know where to find me." Having said that, she turned around, flipping her hair over her shoulder and walked away.

Jayne cackled "That person... has a name" she smirked "Jayne Todd, Hufflepuff" she nodded to Astrid "Go and flirt with your little Gryffie friends" she snorted as she sat on Ross's lap for the third time

Vanessa was totally ignoring the hufflepuff girl now. She had no right to insult Astrid like that. She could take it if the girl was insulting her, but not people who had done nothing. "Sure Astrid. Oh. I'm sure you'll be able to see him tonight. If not on the train journey home. I'll make sure he comes to find out," She spoke to Astrid, her tone of voice obviously different, from the stern tone she had used, whilst speaking to Jayne. When Astrid walked away, Vanessa gave Jayne one more stern look, before following the blonde Gryffindor.

"Oh No the scary Hufflepuff looked at me!" she shook fakely, the only people she was scared of was the wierd Slytherins that she'd run into at the lake, and Trel, the evil Trel, at the thought of Trel, she slid off Ross's lap and sat next to him

"Nothing much," said Ella. "I'm a bit sad to go home because it'll be awhile before I see all my friends again..... but I'll be seeing my cousin Stephanie soon." She laughed at Ema's attempt at Arnold Schwarzenegger which sounded more like Darth Vader. "Try a bit harder," she managed to say before she burst into another fit of giggles. "Don't choke," she added as Ema stuffed a biscuit and some pumpkin juice into her mouth.

Lima shook her head amusedly. "You are underestimating my powers of attraction. Look at me. I'm so hot, all the boys will want me." She wriggled her eyebrows playfully. She was totally kidding there. She knew she wasn't great looking, but she could still charm people.

Still giggling, she took the tissue, muttering, "thanks." She wiped her eyes, finally calming down, when the girl made her go into hysterics again. "And how would I get you a polar bear?" she asked incredulously.

She snorted, glad that her friend seemed to be able to breathe again. "I just don't know my own strength," she said, shaking her head.

She smiled widely. This was perfect. She would love to hang out with Pretzel and see her family. And meet a Muggle. "Well, there will be me, Kyler, Sarah, Ella, and Miles. That is if he can go..." She really needed to find that boy and talk to him.
