Tobi finally joined the festivities, "Hey guys!" he called, just hoping to make someone jump. he was putting his money on Valentine or Sho. "What's for dinner?"

"Well that's good," Sho smiled to Val. "And don't worry. 2 years is still a long, long time."

He turned and saw Tobi had wandered over. It was a party now! Well... until Tobi went off to be with his little Gryff friends. Did Tobi have Gryffindor friends? He was always with them after all... huh...

"Hey there, Tobi. Everything's here as usual."

Valentine tried not jump as Tobi's voice ran loud and unexpectedly behind her. Yet it was something that could not be prevented. She was a bit of a jumpy person. "Hey there Tobi." She smiled and waved her hand, holding a fork in it at the same time. "Come in and join the party."

Chris saw Melinda look quickly at him then turn. He took her chin with his fingure and moved her so she was looking at him again. "Don't be sorry. Everything you put me through is not a big deal." He told her and smiled.

"My brother is working for the Daily Prophet, dunno what exactly."
He looked at Rachel, and then a vicious grin spread across his face.
"I just remembered! I´ll be able to do magic over the summer! My parents are witch and wizard, so the guys from the ministry won`t know WHO cast the spell, and they`ll think it`s my parents doing it, and THEY are allowed to."
He snickered. "Oh, there`s this guy living a few houses away and I really hate him...Just think about the possibilities..." He snickered again.

Kairi walked into the hall, and spotted Rachel and Toshi sitting on the Ravenclaw table. She grinned, and walked silently over there. "How are the two little lovebirds doing then?" she said suddenly, peering over Rachel's shoulder.

"We`re fine!", he grinned. "Do you want to sit with us?".
He was really hungry, so he added some sauerkraut, peas and carrots to his potatoes and started eating.

Kairi grinned, "If you don't mind,"
She sat down on the bench, and took a handful of chips before realising that there was something up with Rachel. She didn't want to ask, she was concerned of course, but she didn't like to pry. Besides, Rachel's vibrations were pretty misty, which meant she was trying to cover it up. "What's up with the Ravenclaws?" she asked curiously, popping a chip in her mouth.

Rian looked around after filling a cup full of pumpkin juice adn saw a boy that seemed to be by himself. She bit her lip, looking down at the table and finally decided What the heck.

She turned to him and smiled. She did this a lot when she met knew people; just randomly introducing herself. She always hoped that they didn't think she was crazy adn they never outwardly showed that they did. But there always had to be one, right?

"Hi," she began, a blush starting to form on her cheeks when she realized that she must look like a total moron. "Um, I'm Sahrina Potter...Rian...for short." she paused, still blushing. "I'm sorry...you looked kind of...bored...so I umm...wanted to introduce myself..." she trailed off and took a drink from her goblet for an excuse to look away.

She pouted and hit his arm playfully, "Toshi! Don't be mean, even if the guy is annoying, he is still a defenseless muggle! Plus, it really not fair that you get to do magic while I don't!" she said.

Argh! Rachel jumped about a mile in the air when Kairi spoke. "Kairi! You are not allowed to sneak up on me like that!" she exclaimed, hand over her pounding heart. Shaking her head, she breathed in and out until her heartbeat slowed.
Once she had calmed down enough, she smiled up at Kairi dangerously and moved up the table so that she could sit. "Sit here, and no more attacks! If I die, you're to blame," she said and stuck out her tongue.

Kairi grinned, "Ok, I swear on Merlin's pants that I maybe won't attack you anymore," she said, sticking out her tongue also.

"Just visit me over the summer!", he grinned. "The guy`s so mean, he deserves a little jeely-legs-jinx or something. Or I´d love to try out the tongue-tying-curse..." he grinned.

"Tobi!" Cale waved an excited hand at his Gryffindor buddy. "Pull up a stool. We've got plenty of room. Just save a plate for Eddy and Connie. Merlin only knows where they are."
"Two years is a long time." He agreed with Sho as he started in on his roasted beef. "Next year, we'll have to go swimming. There's a great little spot near the giant weeping willow nobody ever goes there."

Jenn walked in smiling. She looked around and grinned as she saw Kairi. "Hey Kairi! Hi Rachel!"she said, sitting down.

Kairi looked up at the sound of a familiar voice, "Hey, Jenn!" she said with a grin. "How be you?"

She laughed. "I be good. You?"she asked, as she grabbed a roll.

Kairi grinned, "I also be good. I got a question, why we be talking all funny?" she said with a laugh.

She shrugged. "I don't know. Do you?"she asked laughing.

"No..." Kairi said curiously, with an amused grin on her face. She blinked and popped a chip into her mouth. "Jenn...I'm sorry if this brings you down but...Why'd Biff break up with you?" She was curious, she was always curious.

Jenn laughed again. "Okay."she said, smiling. She shook her head. "No it's fine. I guess it happened because he thought no one liked him. Mostly my friends he thought. Then he got mad at me and I did too, and I smacked him. I didn't mean to. I just got really mad and well....it all happened so fast."she said, smiling slightly. "He's happy now though."she added. "Who knows. I might meet someone I like even better."she said.

Kairi listened, and grinned slightly at the smacking part, "Wow, Jenn. I didn't know you had it in you. Fight the power," she said with a wink. "I'm glad everything's ok between you two now, though," She raised her eyebrow at the last part, "Like Chris?" she said with a small smile.

She laughed. "Ya, I even surprised myself."she said, running her hand through her hair embarrassedly. She glared. "No not Chris. Where just friends."she said, smiling.

"Uh-huh, course you are," She grinned, and nudged Jenn playfully, then popped another chip in her mouth. "I have a random question. Got any relatives that went to Hogwarts?"

She laughed and nudged her back. She nodded. "Ya, my cousin Madreena, my mum, dad, and one sister. The rest went to either Durmstrang or that Frenchy school."she said, rinkling her nose. "Oh my brother went here too."she added.

She nudged Jenn back. They always seemed to end up nudging each other. "Ok, hmm...Any relatives that work in the ministry?"
