She remembered the guy being the hufflepuff captain. "I see." She again looked at the guy and turned her head immediately so he wouldn't see her. "I'm glad you're alright."

"Sorry," Via apologised. "Did i scare you?" She wasn't going to eat thought. She beamed at the boy.

"Huh?" Orinoco flinched slightly, too scared to open her eyes for the first few seconds. She pealed again, oh this was another girl. "Oh" Did she say Prefect? What is a prefect? "Hi!" she added with a whimper, "I'm Orinoco" her eyes - on their own accord darted to the girl on the table. She was like a jaguar ready to pounce on her. "What is a prefect?" she prayed it was someone with influence, or power able to protect her from this cannibal.

She nodded to the girl, but truly she was frightened from compiling any coherent thoughts to the topic in discussion. She was like a lightening rod for nervousness.

Orinoco whimpered in her seat at girl's response, was it too late to change houses? Really this girl would eat her before she can reach her bed. "I don't know?" she replied with complete honesty.

Via saw Anna, their prefect approach Orinoco. She was really new, as Via felt the nervousness creeping from the girl. "It's alright, Orinoco," she said friendly. Well, she couldn't lame her for being nervous when your just new and there's no one to talk to.

As the girl's eyes flickered to her, she gulped. She felt kinda scared.

"Do you play Quidditch?" Jake asked of Allie. He wasn't a total fanatic but he wanted to move the conversation away from that meaniebobeanie Prefect before he got another warning to be careful.

Ooh, where was the Gryffindor ghost? Jake didn't have far to look before he found a medieval looking figure, all transclucent and pearly white. his head wobbling suspiciously.

Jake had half a mind to ask what the ghosts had apparently come back for, but he knew from the answer they'd got from the Fat Friar that he'd just be all elusive. Heck, maybe they would turn out to be fun to have around, as long as they weren't taking over the school or... spying...

The paranoia set in, and Jake made a personal note to always check for hidden watchers when he partook in his various misdeeds hobbies... not that it would matter. Jake was pretty sure that ghosts had their ways of staying unnoticed.

Freaky, little pale things. Jake was quite oblivious to the fact he'd also just described himself.

Jake shook his head in the negative at the same time that his mouth blurted out, "Just a lot."

Urgh! Way to get beat up! He never intended sarcasm there, but recognised it the second Jake's mouth decided it was smarter than his brain.

Stupid mouth.

Whitney smirked when she heard Zeke babbling about 'I like Boys Like Girls.' Once she said it several times in her head though she too thought it sounded odd. With a smirk she said, "Yes well,most of what comes out of our mouths is rather...um...odd don't ya think?" Literally,about 3/4's of what came out of her mouth was just crazy nonsense. Even she didn't understand herself sometimes. "GOOFY!" Without meaning she yelled this when she saw his goofy smile. "Sorry,he's just....really great." she mumbled feeling her whole face turn red. Somehow,she knew Zeke would find her after the feast,no matter what. Whitney simply forced a smile and nodded. 'Oi vay.'
"That's just a brothers job." Although Whitney had no siblings of her own,her little cousins were like her brothers and they were dreadful. At least Zeke was old enough to think for himself. "Hey at least you know to watch out for people following you. My secret agent,and your brothers." She said with a wink,laughing. It'd be crazy if that would actually happen. This reminded Whitney way too much of... "It's because he's a Gryffie. You all are just so...erm...brave I believe it is?" Now one of her eyebrows was raised and she was suppressing a laugh. "Really I have no idea,he's a total spaz." She said this jokingly,of course. She'd only seen the Grease singing Zeke,not what those other girls were seeing. "That's super funny. Does he know this?" Whitney found that super cute actually.

Agie heard the other girl call her Orinoco, ahh so she has a name. "Well, would you rather lose a leg or an arm." Agie said evilly. It was fun to tease. "Or perhaps an ear? I'm not too picky!"

"Hello again," Anna cheerfully greeted. She moved to go sit closer to the timid girl. If Anna could just get the girl to calm down, she was sure the feast would prove to be a little more of a pleasurable experience for her. Anna followed the girl's gaze, noticing how fearful she appeared to be of one of the other Gryffindors at the table. Anna turned back to the young girl and smiled, hoping she could at least calm her some. "Well, a prefect is someone who's sort of like in charge of the entire house. I'm the female prefect, and my boyfriend, Cale, is the male prefect. What's your name?" she asked.

"That's really sad. I bet that was hard. My parents fight, but I don't think they would separate. My grandparents are all dead, so I never got the chance to know them. I wish I could have. My nana was deaf like me. My mom told me she used to play all sorts of tricks on people and they would never think it was her because she looked so innocent.

What's a weimaraner? It sounds like it would look funny.

My parents and I live about an hour from London. It was a long bus ride to school in the mornings. I wish I could have gone there by train like I do here. It is much more fun!"

After Sylvan finished passing the latest note to Nate, that older girl from earlier approached him and spoke to him. He watched her lips carefully and tried to think of how to respond. Just then, he noticed the shiny Prefect badge on her chest. Ah, so this was one of the Gryffindor prefects. He hoped she would be able to help him get settled here at school. He quickly scribbled a note and passed it to her. Normally he would have signed, but he doubted the girl would know what he was doing, and it would be a dead giveaway anyways.

Her head snapped sideways, the girl was going to eat her! She doubted she'll leave the table in one piece; "I don't think so, she's going to eat me!" her index finger in the direction of Agie. "Do you know what she likes? Or is she new too?"

Orinoco whimpered more, agitatingly shifting in her seat. Why did she sit infront of her? Oh heavens! And she had to decide on her own limbs! The earth started spinning around her, "but ... but.. you only wanted to taste!"

Via just smiled. "i was just worried a while ago because i thought Allie was hurt." She haven't intorduced her self yet, "I'm Vivianne."

As Via watched Agie, "She was frightening me too with the way she was acting," she said to Orinoco. "I haven't seen her around before." She wanted to call for the prefect, but it seemed like she can only talk to Orinoco right now. Goosebumps were starting to appear on her skin.

Agie now snickered once Orinoco's finger pointed in her direction, she leaned in closer and snapped her teeth together, only an inch away from her finger.

"Well if you taste good then I'll want more!" Agie moved her legs around and crossed them, clearly making no attempts at getting off the table any time soon.

Via gasped as the girl moved towards Orinoco and almost bit her finger. She clapped her hands on her mouth. She hadn't seen anything like this before. "ah.. uhmmm...," she didn't know exactly what to say.

Orinoco pushed her seat slightly back, releasing a sigh when the chair didn't squeak, perhaps if she can stay behind both girls, this older Gryffindor won't eat her. That's a nice thought! But she was tiny, sooner or later the girl would catch her. Whimpering some more she nodded at the Prefect and tried to smile, she was in charge of the entire house! Okay so maybe she can say something to the cannibal? Uh, maybe it wasn't a good idea, their in the same house after all! What if the Prefect wasn't around then, she'll eat all of her!

"Nice" she smiled nervously and nodded, "my name is Orinoco McWaters, I'm a new transfer students, well not really a transfer. I was home schooled".

Orinoco nodded in agreement, that girl still is frightening. "So she's new too?" asking Vivienne again being completely oblivious to the fact the cannibal was still within hearing distance.



"AHHHHH!" Orinico screamed as she jumped off her seat hiding herself behind Anna, placing her hands all the way behind her back, "please don't eat me" she whimpered.

"i don't know," Via said as Orinoco screamed. "Maybe yes... or no.." she added. The staff table would notice them if this wouldn't stop. Via's hand was shaking, "Oh, no." Her hands now were shaking. She'll gonna tell her sister about this story if ever she'll remember it. "We have to tell Anna," she told her.

Agie was being mean. She should stop teasing the girl.

NEVER! This was way too much fun. She could even clearly hear the conversation between both the scared girls. "Actually, I was a student here but I left. Then when to another school with my best friend Lyra." Hmmm, that reminded Agie. Where was Lyra? She was missing out on fun, hmm speaking of fun... "I got expelled form my students, for, umm" Agie said with an evil smile as something came to her, "For eating a student. So here I am. Back at Hogwarts."

Agie laughed at the girl screaming, who ran behind Anna. She now got on the hands and knees and crawled across the table, where Anna and the girl hiding behind her was. "Oh you can't hide behind Anna. She is on my side." She said with an evil laugh.

Via furrowed her her brows, "You... you ate a student?" she was going to faint. She needed someone who will tell her this is'nt real. "Why?" She asked why? "Why did they let you come back here if you... did... that?" Anytime soon if this isn't going to stop, she's going to run. Orinoco had been hiding behind Anna and she was left there, unprotected if the girl was going to eat her too.

Lyra stepped back into reality at the Gryffindor table as she stretched her arms in the air and yawned. "What did I miss?" Apparently she had missed a lot. "I was about to get popcorn for watching the ghosts and the staff table but apparently I have missed it all."

Via glanced at an another girl who she knew was a friend of Agie. Uh-oh, she whispered. They're growing in number. She ran behind the other gryffindor students still glancing at the two. She turned to look at Orinoco who was still hiding behind Anna.

"We live off in on the coast of Scotland. It's really nice.A weimaraner is a gray hunting dog that's from Germany. I don't really know my Mums side of the family.. Nathaniel noticed the Prefect approach. He didn't know her. He didn't know many of the people in his own house..

"Well, what the school doesn't know, wont hurt them. Just as long as you don't go and blab to the headmaster or anything." Agie winked, flicking her hair back she saw "LYRA!" Agie smiled brightly, and then turned back to the other girl, "This is the girl who helped me get expelled." She smiled, again evilly.

Dominic had barely taken a few steps from the scene with the young girl when she called back for him. Twirling back around on the spot, the fifth year narrowed his eyes on her expression when she resumed the seat once more at her house table. "Twelve ... thirteen... whatever," he rolled his eyes as it was hardly important; she was still much shorter than him which on occasion he would have loved, but in this case it was worth smugness.

"I didn't say I had apologized, but i said if I had, then you'd still have some grievance towards me. Perhaps a good ear cleaning charm would do you good." He blinked as a few tears escaped from her eyes; oh canaries he had gone and mentioned the sidekick. True he should have known better, but to be honest, he tried to erase most of the happenings from London from his memory. Between crying and soaked with water and crash-landing in fallen beater bats - London was definitely not one of his fonder memories.

But still, he couldn't apologize. Not for his pride sake. And so Dominic Denton just stood between the Gryffindor table and that of the Ravenclaw table, dumbfounded by the happenings.

But in his moment of reverie about the ghosts and action at the staff table, he saw a familiar shade of black hair run past him and over towards the young girl. Revealing his name.

Curiously, the fifth year averted his eyes to the surroundings in the Great Hall, but all the while keeping a listening ear out on the two young students.

'You mean he is Dominic? Your kidding?' he heard the girl say; what in canaries did that mean!? Dominic Denton... Hufflepuff Prefect... AND I found out he plays Quidditch... so big deal?! He played quidditch too and if you know what's good for you, Jake Upstead, then you will play too or else have myself and Kaika to deal with.

Finally making up his mind, the Hufflepuff turned his head towards the two youngsters again and walked towards them, slipping into the seat next to Jacob.

"Hi there, Jake, I don't believe I've said this, but congratulations on Hufflepuff," he said calmly, before looking over at the girl. "You two weren't talking of something important, right?"

Lyra's eyes looked in shock towards Agie as she introduced her. Evil smile...something was going on and why was this girl running. Lyra decided to do the same and smirked while waving her fingers towards the girl. She could play along and she did help Agie in the expelled part. "Hey! I was expelled too you know," she said as a reminder to not forget her.

Hi Im Kranendonk!!!

Mary Evans was sitting way down on the end of the table. As a first year, she didn't know anyone and preferred to sit back and take it all in. There were some really bizzare people in the group she thought. But then she thought better - I guess I should give everyone a chance and get to know them better. These kids have been together for a while and have a history.

After finishing off her pudding, Mary's main thought was "Who was she going to room with in Gryffindor Tower?"

Mary turned around and saw a friendly face.

"Hi Kranendonk. What year are you?"

Anna looked up at the Gryffindor who'd just spoken up. She couldn't quite understand what name was called out, but it sounded like, "Crank it up." Anna knew she'd heard incorrectly, though. She smiled politely, glad to be meeting another new Gryffindor. "Pardon? What did you say your name was?" she asked. "I'm Anna, by the way. I'm a sixth year. What year are you in?" While she talked, Anna buttered a dinner roll. They were a favorite of hers and one of the main things she looked forward to at every feast.
