"Ok...mmmmm this food is really good! Well, exept for the peppermint humbugs!?" Set eat with ravinous hunger. "Where do we sleep? and when is the head master's adress? my said that the headmaster talks at the feast!" Set looked around, still eating!

"yes indeed!"

She looked to her food this food looks delicious and started eating it while she listen the others talk.

The Great Hall was full of color and sound and that magnificent "sky" in the ceiling This is the best place on earth she thought

"Thanks,"Reese said.She walked over and sat next to the boy.It seemed like ages since she has been over here at the Hufflepuff table.She looked at the boy when he introduced himself,"It's pleasure to meet you,Reed.I'm Reese Northway."She smiled sweetly at Reed.

"Its nice to meet you Reese" He said flashing her a smile. "So what brings you over here to the Hufflepuff table?" He asked. He could clearly see that she was a slytherin and he knew that there was definately nothing special about him that made her decided to just come over to the table so he couldn't help but ask.

I don't know, Set. I mean, I know we sleep in dormitories, but I'm not sure where ours is. A lot of details about the actual castle aren't published in books. It's part of the incredibly ancient magic of the school.

"It's nice to meet you,"Reese said."Oh-I was looking for an old friend of mine,but it seems he isn't here.And for some reason,you caught my eye and I decided to come and introduce myself.If that's okay with you."She smiled at him."So,what year are you in?You sort of look about my age.I'm a fourth year."

Kayla had just taken a bite out of her bread roll when she heard someone say her name. She turned in her seat and found Amanda standing there, she quickly swallowed the piece of bread that was in her mouth and smiled at the younger girl. "Sure take a seat" she said as she moved up a little to give Amanda some room. "What's the matter?" she asked peering at the girls face, it seemed rather serious,

He caught her eye? Well that was surprising, but Reed decided not to say anything about it. "Yes thats perfectly fine with me" he said returning her smile. "I'm a fourth year too, but this is only my first year here." he figured that he would mention that last part, that way it would explain for if he acted like a complete first year. Which he was trying not to do.

Amanda sat down at the table and bit her lip softly. "Well, its about what happened with me and Zeke after you left the compartment on the train. I've been meaning to tell you what went on." She said, seriously. She felt a bit weird sitting at the Hufflepuff Table but oh well, she wanted to talk to Kayla about Zeke.

"Well,that's great,"Reese said."Oh,it's your first time here?We're you homeschooled for 3 years?Or did you go to a different school?"If he said he was homeschooled,thiswill be like the 3rd person that was homeschooled.Reese didn't know being homeschooled was this common.

"No I wasn't homschooled" Reed told her. He couldn't imagine being homeschooled. Sure it would have some pros but for the most part he doubted that he would like it. "I transfered here from a school in Spain" He mentioned. he was aready liking it better here and he had only been at Hogwarts for less than a day.

"Oh,it was just a guess.I know quite a few people who were homeschooled,"Reese said.She some of her hair behing her ear and looked back at Reese."You transfered from Spain?Wow.That's cool.I've never been to Spain before.Well,actually,I have.My friend lived there,but I only stayed for a hour or so."She slightly shrugged."So,are you liking Hogwarts so far?"

"Okaaay" she said slowly, obviously this was rather serious going from the look on Amanda's face. "What did he do?" Kayla glanced over to the Gryffindor table to see if she could see him but she couldn't make him out with so many people around.

They might have only just established a friendship but she felt rather protective of Amanda, all of a sudden and if the guy hurt her, he was going to have to answer to her and it wouldn't be good...for him.

Abby walks into the Great Hall. It's nothing like she thought it would be. Of course Barrows had ceilings that mimic the sky all over the place, but this place was just fabulouse. Abby looks for the Hufflepuff table. That's the house she's been sorted in. She finds a seat and sits down.

"Well, I wanted to know if I was wasting my time. So I just said to him you know I really like you and I want to be with you eventually since we aren't rushing it. And I need to know if you feel the same. Zeke's just like..uh..I like you too, and I'm not sure what I want right now. Then I ended up leaving the compartment, but before I left, I said, well when you figure this out, come find me. I just don't know what to do, I feel so confused and sorta sad." Amanda said, explaining roughly what happened between her and Zeke to Kayla.

Why, of course Kaika was more than thrilled to be back in Hogwarts again. Oh, this was going to be an interesting year, for sure. However, she didn't seem to be as excited as she was when she met with Miranda back in Diagon Alley.

She was starting to feel that the little second year had some sort of powers...if only she could suddenly appear now. Kaika failed to notice whether or not she was sitting already at the table, considering she didn't even look at the ones in there. Yes, she was hungry...but that hadn't stopped her before.

With a sigh she sat on the table, not noticing who was around her. The news of Punz not coming this year were simply devastating. Entirely. That was someone she was going to miss very, very much.

Abby turns around to see a new girl sitting next to her. "Hello, I'm Abigal Wright. My friends call me Abby. Are you new here too?"

It seemed everyone had already left the train well before the fifth year. It wasn't his fault that he had somehow fallen asleep in one of the compartments, completely abolishing his Prefect Duties on the train. Oh well ... what Shackleton doesn't know, won't hurt anything ... Dominic thought straightening his robes just a tad and opening the large doors into the Great Hall.

Great! He had missed the sorting of the new students. He was lucky the train didn't leave with him on the train still. Fortunately the conductor had checked all the compartments and woken up a very groggy Dominic. Eyes flickered immediately up to the staff table to see that he wasn't the last one - hopefully. And fortunately for him, there were quite a few new faces up there, but the one he longed to see most was not there!

Inhaling deeply, golden irises than flickered towards the Hufflepuff table, figuring it was best to make an appearance. Although he didn't see too many recognizable faces other than Winters talking with another girl and there was no way he'd sit next to her. Settling into a seat that appeared to away from others, his eyes flickered to the golden platters, realizing only than how starved he was. So much for the food trolley on the train ... stupid sleepiness.

*Gabben walked into the hall with a big smile on his face. He waved to a few friends as he walked down to the Hufflepuff table. He found a seat and started looking around for a house mate he might know.*

Reed smiled at Reese, "Yes its wicked." He said still grinning. "I'm loving it so far." It wasn't really what he had expected. He was so excited that he had let his step-sister talk him into coming to the school. "I mean I had heard alot about it, but its better than I expected" Reed admitted to Reese. "I was worried that I would have trouble making friends, but it doesn't seem like that is too much of an issue" He told her.

Kayla gave Amanda a sympathetic look cause she had kinda got that feeling from Zeke. "I see" she muttered. Another player she thought. "Well this is only my opinion okay, you can take it or leave it. It's your life after all and you have to be in control of your own destiny" Oh geesh she was starting to sound philosophical all of a sudden. "I know you like him Amanda, but maybe it's just best to be friends with him but that's all. Take a few steps back and give yourself and him a little breathing space, you both have only just met after all and maybe he needs some time to adjust. This is first time being surrounded by so many people and I guess he's probably feeling a little overwhelmed by it all."

Kayla placed her hand on Amanda's shoulder and gave her a reassuring smile. "Go and meet some new friends, in that I mean other boys and maybe he'll realise what he's missing out on."

Set had been asking around, and found out that Kaika was the Hufflepuff Quidditch Captain. "Hey, I'm Set. Nice to meet you. Please let me know when the tryouts are. I really want to join! It's like a life dream." He shook Kaika's hand. "I hope to be seeing a lot more of you!" He walked back to Cadence and the rest of his friends.

Amanda listened closely to what Kayla had to say. "Hmm, what exactly did you think of him when you first met him?" She asked curiously. She was going to take Kayla's advise and just back off, she didn't want to give her heart to someone who didn't know exactly what he wanted.

"Oh trust me I already have met a few guys, I met Chris, Barry and Trey; Chris and Trey are 5th years and Barry's a 4th year. I mean, I just rather play my cards right so I don't get hurt too soon." Amanda said honestly with a smile.

"Hogwarts is like my home,"Reese said.She looked around the Great Hall then back at Reed."What did you expect it to be?"She smiled at Reed."It's not that bad making friends.I seem to have more friends as every year passes.I enjoy meeting new people.So,have you met any other Slytherins except for me?"

Set sat down next to Cadence and the rest. He grabbed a peoce of pie and chowed down. He was sooooooooooo tired! He needed some strong coffee.
