"Ours is off the seventh floor Even if we have different common rooms doesn`t mean we won`t see each other much" he added quickly "They`ll be classes the grounds and like Cela said the library which Celas very keen on seeing it a ravenclaw thing" then he said "Don`t forgot my birthdays not far. That reminds me Raiden if you want you can come to the party of couce I have to see with the groundskeeper where to have it. Cela after last term I just want to have fun" Barry smilled "Oh really I remember meeting Nico then he seemed very worried a bout the girls"

Barry listened to Raiden "Ah your freinds with Evangeline already? It took me a while but she is much nicer these days cause shes prefect"

"She wanted me to get an owl, so I could write... She wants me to write like, every day but I can't do that." He suddenly realized just how much he did his his parents, though. This was the first time he was away from the for a long period of time. Hospitals stays, they'd always been there, nearly 24/7. This was going to be different. "I figured I'd write her maybe three times a week... She should be happy then."


Raiden tilted his head to the side and studied Celandine. "Angsty? What's angsty mean?" A new word he'd never heard before. Roscoe shook with another sneeze, then stumped off of Rai's lap on his short little legs, up onto Celandine's, and then stood up, putting his front paws on the table so he could peek up over the edge. He wanted to see what had been going on while he slumbered.

"The girls turned themselves into boys?" Raiden asked, surprised. "That's neat! I can't wait to start learning how to transfigure things!"

And then she was talking about seeing her brother in Hogsmeade, but she hadn't been able to see him every time... how sad. Raiden knew that he was going to miss Shiro all term long, the precocious little four year old who had followed him around Diagon Alley the entire time, sucking his thumb. His little brother.

"If I were your brother, I would have made sure to see you any time that Hogsmeade was open," Raiden said softly, reaching over and scratching Roscoe's ears. "Family shouldn't be split up if they're going the same place..."

Raiden grinned widely again. "I love the library... I like reading, it's fun. I used to have nothing else to do while in the hos-" he stopped himself. They didn't want to know about stuff like that, it would only make them worry. "I've read lots of books... When I grow up, I wanna do something important with my magic."

He was proud of his ambition, even if it HAD landed him in Slytherin, the house that some people still thought was a bad place to be. He would fix that, this term. He would show people that the house you were in didn't make you who you were.

"Your birthday is soon?" he asked excitedly. "That's awesome! I've never really been to a birthday party before, at least not one for people my own age... It was always for either Shiro, or a family friend, or a Muggle friend... And Evangeline Green is a very, very nice girl." He added the last part on proudly, as if it would be good to note that Evangeline Green was both a Slytherin and a good person. "I ran into her on the train, and she caught me at the table to make sure I was okay. She's very nice."

She said and looked around. Telling him all this was getting a little uncomfortable, but if she wanted to have an amazing relationship with Chris, she knew she had to release her past to at least have a future.

"Maybe...the first one is that...the person that...you met this summer...at you-know-what..." Mel started explaining and gulped, "...used to be my foster dad...he trained me...as a leglimens...or at least, control it..." She whispered.

But when she said about that over the summer, Chris pictured what he looked like in his head, as flash backs came filled his head of what happened over the summer. Chris looked at Melinda. "Well isn't that a good thing that he taught you how to contorl it?" He whispered back.

She told him and played with her hands.

Such memories were somewhat of hurtful. She had trust his former step dad. And he just took advantage of her ability.

"You see...that's why...I sometimes decide it's not a good thing to...say all this things...they tend to shock people...and take me away from them..." She said, with a long sigh.

Chris took Melinda's hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I know this is all a little different and most people would probably thing it weird but I think it makes you unique." He told her.

Chris also pulled away from the hug not really wanting to, but he did. He smiled. "But like I said before that I think your cute when he blush." He told her.

She thought that by calling her by her last name seemed too formal! Why it was how things were done properly in his community. He would understand why the girl wasn't used to hear herself being called by her last name. It was after all normal to him and Miss Hopton.

"Do stop, my dear." Kingston wheezed, wipping a tear away with his finger. "Oh my, that was quite a funny thing Mis--I mean Melina. I do understand that by calling you by your last name bothers you so. After all, I do hate being called King or Kingsy as my girlfriend seems to insist," he grumbled the last few words. "Although, I will make sure that in the future I shall call you by your given name. "

ooc. You're back

Occ. I have to go again.

"Hello," he said nicely, sitting in the seat across from Ebony. "How're you?"
