Ruby smiled and shook her head "my father used to run the Apperation center but he gave it up to help my mother look after my grandfather when he lost his wife" she replied she looked at him and smiled "head of Gobstones that must be fun?" she saw him looking at her and she blushed then she heard him say something she thought she never would "You look pritt.." he then tried to cover it up by using the sky in the great hall but she had heard him she smiled and nodded slightly she whispered "thank you John"

when he offered her to sit with him she nodded and gracefully sat down her brown hair bounced as she did and she tucked a piece behind her ear she looked at John from underneath her eyelashes and smiled "thank you i would love to Join you, why are you blushing i liked the compliment"

Finally managing to remove the red out of his cheeks, Sebastian found that he could think clearer. So, picking up a piece of pumpkin pie, he nodded, almost in answer to her question. "I'm pretty good." He replied, a grin spreading over his face as the food tickled his taste buds nicely. "Yourself?"

Pumpkin Pie was awesome. It was now resolved.

"Aw, I'm momentarily driving crazy but that's okay." she replied. She didn't eat much more because she was done already. When the teenage girl was able stopstaring at Sebastian, she glanced to see if her person was around. She need her person.
Looking back at Sebastian, the thought hit her mind. What else were they suppose to talk about? She didn't know. They had been away for so long, that she didn't quite know how to behave near him again.
Teenage dramas.
In a lack of anything else to say or ask, she sort of repeated her previous question:
"How's life?"
Original, huh?

John smiled at Ruby "I thought if I said anything to you, you would think I was weird." He hoped that she didn't think that he was weird. it was offical the one thing that John said he would never do was fall in love with a girl and he was sure that Jack had said it before and then two girls from the same family come along and they fall in love.

John watch as Ruby sat down and he smiled when she said she liked the compliment. He thought about his next move "Ruby, I think my dad enjoys being the head and I think he thinks it is fun." He smiled at her and then looked around the table to see if he could interduce Ruby to Ella who was in her last year at the school. Unfortunaly it seemed like Ella hadn't come to the Hufflepuff table yet so he couldn't interduce her to Ella. Saying that most of his new friends weren't about but at least Ruby was there to talk to him. "Tell me more about you family please?"

He sat looking at her, his face full of delight he had got her to sit near him so that was the hard part over. He waited to here all about her family, he couldn't want to tell his dad about her, he hoped that in time she would love him someday even if it took him a few year he couldn't help but feel he would like to spend as much time with her as he can.

Sitting down by her lonesome, Holly looked around taking in every detail. She breathed in, enjoying the feel of the atmosphere. "How good it is", she thought, while sighing, "that we are all back to Hogwarts! I must get those school books finished so I won't be behind in classes.."

Soon after, she just enjoyed watching everyone around her catch up with friends.

Ruby shook her head "i don't think that you are weird John, to be truthfull for the past few days i have been having a wierd feeling whenever i think about you" she stopped and blushed she listened to him speak and then look around she smiled and poured her self a glass of pumpkin juice she felt she would be there a while and she was very happy with that, she thought for a moment and replied.....

"well as you know Sakura is my cousin, we recently met another Kaio the second year Gryffindor his Step-mum is a Black so a relation of ours, my mother is Narcissa Malfoy II and my Grandfather was the Minister of Magic in 2029-2036 as you are aware if you inroduce me i am Ruby Malfoy My father was the Apperation divison head for ten years untill my Grandmother died a year ago and my Grandfather became ill, but mother doesn't want him put in St Mungo's, i have no brothers and sisters although i have always wanted one which is why i get on well with Saku i suppose?" she took a sip of her drink and asked "is there anything else you would like to know John?"

The train ride was, to say the least, an incredibly horrible journey in which Varius suffered from a headache the entire ride to Hogwarts. He liked to spend his time on the scarlet vehicle sleeping so that he was wide awake for the huge feast that would be awaiting him, but alas, the migraine had kept him awake the entire journey and now he was grumpy and sleepy.

The staff were up on their high table with their much more comfortable chairs - where was the equality in that? Hm? He was determined to eat as much as possible in as little time necessary (he managed to obtain an incredibly messy gravy moustache due to Varius' inability to eat with elegance or manners) and then for the head's speech. He supposed the new headteacher was that crazy man who was practically pee'ing himself in excitement over the runes he had received (anyone may have guessed he and Varius were related).

"Bring on the speech," he muttered to himself, rubbing his poor forehead which felt as if it was pounding for a release.

She laughed bitterly and said,"don't remind me. This has totally brought down my good mood." She shook her head. Then she noticed that Penny seemed to be looking for someone. "What's up?" she asked curiously.

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.

Miranda was just about to grab one of the delicious chicken legs when suddenly the whole school started to walk into the Great Hall.
She looked up and noticed Kaika looking around. Grinning, Miranda stood up and waved, but she must have blended in the crowd because Kaika sat down somewhere else.
Me and my height, maybe if I was taller she could have seen me!

She quickly stood up and ran over to where Kaika was sitting and almost hopped into the seat, making the table shake a bit.
"Kaika!" Miranda cheered and hugged her teammate "How are you?" she grinned and added before Kaika could answer, "This term is going to be great!"

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.

Just as Miranda broke off the hug, her big brown eyes looked over at the entrance for there were still many more students coming in.
"Theres Dominic!" This time, she also waved her arms to get his attention, but just like the first time, they were missed.
Argh...

John smiled at Ruby so she didn't think he was weird and it seemed like she felt the same way as he did, he looked at her and then the most amazing thing happened he hugged her to show her that he like her and there was no reason for her to blush. He wondered if Jack felt the same way with Sakura, if he did he was sure that there was no need to look after Jack anymore and that Jack would be able to look after himself now.

John was shocked when Ruby said her grandfather was the minister of magic "It seemed like your family history is great." He quickly grabbed a drink and started to sip it. After a few moments he smiled and then he spoke again. "I think that is enough about you, I have learnt a lot about you." The only thing he hadn't learnt was her favorate thing. "Anything you want to know about me?" He waited to see what she wanted to know about him.

Ruby was sat there and she was awaiting his response and he hugged her she smiled and her arms went around him she smiled as he hugged her and as they broke apart she looked at him and watched his face as she explained her life, she saw the look of shock on his face about her Grandfather and she nodded and placed her hand on his as a sign that this was the turning point in her family's life.

she thought for a moment and replied "i didn't tell you everything about me you don't know my favourite colour or item but that i will save for a dat....." she coughed and quickly said "tell me about your family John?" she blushed

Vanessa's mood really hadn't improved much during the journey to school, although she felt a little bit happier. She had to at least try to feel happier, she was back at hogwarts!
For the first time, since she had met Miles, she was approaching the hufflepuff table. Sighing she sat down and rested her elbows on the table. It felt a little odd to be sitting at her own house table, she usually sat with Miles at the hufflepuff table. But it wouldn't hurt to get to know some Huffies right?

Cadence moved down to sit with an older girl who was sitting by herself. Hello! My name is Cadence and this is my first year at Hogwarts! Is it okay if I sit with you?

Ray was sitting on the Hufflepuff table not speaking to anyone as no one was actually talking to him. Turning aside, he desired to talk to someone or for the headmistress to send them to the dorms as he was really starting to feel asleep.

Turning to the boy who had just sat down, Cadence said Hello! I'm Cadence! This is my first year at Hogwarts! I'm so excited, aren't you? I can't wait for my classes to start! Do they start first thing tomorrow or do we have to go through some kind of orientation?

Mopily, Miles made his way to the great hall. He had done this a few times before, and it was starting to get a little boring, but not a bad boring. If there was a good boring ...
Once he was in the great hall, he scanned the table, completely skipping his own table, his eyes darted towards the Huffleouff table, as he noticed an alone and still looking upset, Vannie. He sighed, and slowly walked over to her.

"Hey." Miles spoke quetly as he sat down beside her. She didn't really look that much better.

Vanessa looked up when she heard someone talk to her. "Hey," She smiled a little at the younger student. "I'm Vanessa. Sure you can sit with me," She added as she motioned to the seats around her.

Vanessa was kind of hoping that Miles would come over, and she was occasionally looking up, and around the great hall for him. She smiled as she saw him approaching, and tried to look a little happier. It wasn't fair for her to make him sad too.
"Hey Miles," She replied as he sat down beside her. "Are you okay?" She asked, with a smile. She hoped that he was okay, and that she hadn't made him feel upset or anything.

Sarah sat among the chattering students dearly wishing she was friends with at least one Hufflepuff.
You would think that after a year she would know more of them,but all her friends..old and new...were in other houses.
This time,though,she was determind to get to know her fellow Huffies.Looking around she tried to find someone who wasn't already talking to someone else..not an easy task it would seem.
"Oh this is going to be hard..." she sighed to herself.

Hi! Cadence said spotting the girl. You can sit with me, if you'd like.

"Hm.I have never owned a dog before.But my cousin had a dog,I think it was a beagle or something,and I use to play with it all the time when I was little,"Reese told Reese."Yeah,owls come in handy,but I usually don't write much,"she said.

Sarah looked up as she heard someone addressing her,and saw a cheery face.
"Oh hi,sure I'd love to.I'm Sarah by the way,Sarah Griffin." she said as she moved along the table to sit next to the other girl.
"You look excited to be here! Having fun?"

I'm Cadence! This is my first year at Hogwarts, and I think it's the most wonderful place ever! What are the classes like? she was so excited to be at Hogwarts, and she wanted to know everything about it the school.

Emalyn walked down to her table, plopping herself down on the nearest spot available.
It was so good to be back. Watching the sorting was much better than being sorted in front of everyone, and she felt at home. Well, it was her second home.
She fixed herself a plate of almost everything there was on the table, and poured herself some pumpkin juice. She hadn't eaten anything all day, because of panic and excitement. Getting on the train had been yet again another scurrying around event, her mother yelling, her father's face a bright red, her brother running off somewhere else (most likely trying to find his way onto the train without a ticket). But yes, it was good to be back.

Sarah smiled at her eagerness, "Hi Cadence,nice to meet you.First year huh? I thought so," she laughed, "You have the same look of wonder on your face that I had last year!"
She had to think for a minute before answering the question of classes.
"Well...they can be hard,depending which you take.Although they can be fun too! Muggle Studies was my best last term...but that might be because of my background."
She cleared her throat before adding.. "But we are supposed to be getting some new teachers this year..and a new Headmaster,so things might be a little different...."
"I can't wait for the speech to find out what is happening!" she added,straining her neck to look up at the stage where all the professors sat.

Reed listened to Reese talk about her cousins dog and then the owl. "Yea, well I don't really have much of a choice, I have to right home, or more less to step sisters home" Reed said refrasing that. Jordan was making him write, his other sisters and even parents didn't really care too much but his step sister sure did.
