Vivi smiled and tucked a few strands of her red hair behind her ear. "He's fine, I'm sure," she nodded before she took a seat at the Slytherin table. She looked over at her friend, Cayden. "It was fine, I suppose. Nothing to exciting happened." She giggled. Eating dinner here would be awkward. Hopefully no one pointed out that she never ate. She would nibble on something, to keep the stares away, for sure. But she had to be careful. "I wonder where he went.." she pondered. She had heard Cayden's thoughts. Ahh, him getting lost wouldn't freak her out.

"Honestly I don't really know any of the classes they teach here. But I bet they're all awesome. And Quidditch? Nah. The only time I've ever ridden a broom before was when--.. Well I haven't really flown on a broom before. Or even do some magic. But I am trying out for Quidditch this year still. It looks fun," he said while looking at the staff table.

Cam didn't know where this conversation was going to but it was the best he could pull off. He should probably meet more people in his house. Again while looking at the table he stared at each and everyone of the people there. Sooo. These people were the people that would be teaching him?

"Cameron!" Jake had just high-tailed it over here to find whom he now considered his best friend. "Did you hear what house I was in... DO YOU REMEMBER WHO ELSE IS IN THAT HOUSE?!" Just about managing not to shout, Jake only raised his voice slightly.

Ooh, and there was Paris. Jake did a mock bow and put on a posher accent than his apparently "common" London one. "Good morrow, my leader! Do y-"

Oh no...

A famliar face caught his eye, as did the fake designer handbag and whatnot... it was that horrible woman from Diagon Alley... the one he'd last seen with spiky green hair. And she was walking up to the staff table. THE STAFF TABLE!

"Paris..." Jake whispered. "Look..."

But evidently, she'd already noticed. Jake's purple trainers squeaked in protest. They didn't want a repeat of last time.

"Yeah I am. I'm going to work hard to make the top 5 point earners for Slytherin like Nico wanted me to do." Amanda said proudly, she was not under any circumstances, going to slack off this term. This was the term for her to show that she was ready for whatever came at her, and she was going to prove to herself and to Slytherin, that she was truly meant to belong there.

He wondered if she had changed her hair sometime lately. He didnt remember seeing it red during their time in Diagon Alley. he looked over at her as she told him nothing exciting had happened."You probably missed it all because it was happening to me." he said sarcastically."this ravenclaw was getting on my nerves." he explained a little further. As soon as teage got here he would explain it even further."im sure it was some what fun. You and Teage alone in a compartment." he moved to clear his throat a little as he gave her a smile. he looked around when she wondered where he had gone."Im sure he is just late." he assured her as he didnt want her to worry.

Freya walked into the Great Hall, even thought she'd only been attending Hogwarts for a year, it was very familiar. She made her way over to the Slytherin table and sat down in front of Penelope. "Hey stranger." She said with a smile as she placed her side bag on the table, and leaning on her elbows making herself comfortable. "Hopped off the train rather quickly didn't you? I couldn't even catch up after you'd gone."

"Thanks" Claire said giving her a smile as the girl complimented her name. "Its nice to meet you too Whitney" So she finally knew someone from her own house. So far she had only met people from the other ones. Well there was that one boy that wanted to be in slytherin but she wasn't sure if thats where he had been put. "Hi" She said shyly to the two girls that Whitney had introduced her to. They were older so that made her even more shy. "Please tell me you're not hungry" Claire said with a small laugh at Whitney's comment about them biting.

Kayla made her way over to the Slytherin table...her second house. She knew she should really welcome the first years to Hufflepuff but no doubt Denton would do that in his own diplomatic way.

Spotting Camira first, Kayla made a beeline for her friend although they had a rather shaky end to last year. Plopping herself down beside the girl and giving her a light slap on the back. "How's it going girl? How was your summer?" she reached across Camira and grabbed a goblet and poured herself some pumpkin juice.

Looking up she saw others that she recognised. "Hey Amanda! Yo Paris, long time no see" she called and then she saw Cayden just a little down the table. Kayla gave him a wink. "Haven't got lost yet, Cayden?"

She looked over at Kayla and a slow smile creped up her face. "Hey Kayla," She told her friend.




Paris was seething. Why was that woman here, was she here to really lock her up in the Ministry? No she was sitting down! She looked over at Jake. "Why is she here!" She screamed at him whiling stamping her foot, forgetting how sensitive he was was sometime.

She took a few deep breathes. "Sorry for yelling at you love," She patted him on the shoulder.

"Hi there, I take it that you're a first year?" Amanda asked curiously to the girl who just said hi to her. Ah she remembered being a first year, though it was awful since she didn't get to be at Hogwarts, she had to attend stupid Belle's School for Young Witches.

"Hey Kayla, what's up?" Amanda asked with a smile on her lips. It was still so hard to believe that for the past 2 terms they were at each other's throats fighting all the time.

He heard a familiar voice and turned around to see Jake. Cam smiled and waved at him when he came near the Slytherin table. Boy this was obviously going to be a very fun year for the two. There were dozens and dozens of people that were sorted and he couldn't keep track so he still didn't know what house Jake got into. He was extremely curious with the "asking who else was in the house".

"Nooo. I reaally don't know what house you got in," he admitted. Jake was staring at the staff table too. "Watcha lookin' at?"

Jayne strode into the Great Hall of the new school, glancing around lightly and feeling a wave of regret. She was in her sixth year and she swithced to Hogwarts. She switched from her familliar school to... this. And it was her choice! Why was that again..?
Oh, yes. To respect her dead mothers wishes. Slightly morbid Jayne. As always..
Just two years. And she had Cayden... Not that he had bothered to meander to the back of the train.
The Great Hall wasn't hard to find. Just follow the long stream of obnoxious, squeeling, chatting students. As she headed through the doors her eyes flicked over the tables and she found the one that she had been sorted into. 'Slytherin.' And there was Cayden. Sitting with someone else. That was yet another way they were polar opposites. He was a social, freaking flirty butterfly and she was a 'avoid converstion at all costs'.
Sighing quietly to herself, she strode over to the table and took her seat, gracefully crossing her legs at the knee and flipping her long, drark hair over her shoulder.

Seeing that... that person... bad insult... sitting at the table, Jake's jaw fell open. Then he was being screamed at.

Jumping backwards, ready to start flapping his hands and actually going rigid, Jake at first flinched when Paris touched his shoudler, but then he relaxed and moved in a bit.

Note to self; Paris equals baaaaaaaad temper.

"My guess is they're letting her out of prison to teach school kids how to assault infants..." It was the only explanation. Jake whispered the next line, to make certain that absolutely nobody else heard him. "I got some... bad smelling dungb- err... materials, that I didn't get to use on the train... we could put them to good use i her handbag- I mean class..."

Jake, you devil, you.

Turning back to Cameron, Jake actually flailed.

"I'm in Hufflepuff!" he fretted. Jake had no problem with being in this house, it was just... Denton. This would either be easier for that one trick he had planned, or difficult to live through the socially inept Prefect's sarcasm and other torture.

Jake followed Cameron's gaze, though he didn't need to. "A fake Prada wearing, student assaulting, witch."

Well... it was true.

Camira nodded. "And I can help with potions and herbology. I got like 300 percent on my last potions assignment." Bragging? Just a bit. "And Astronomy too." Oh, yes. Fun times ahead. And OWLS.

Camira just nodded, wanting to get away from the topic. "So, uh, what kind of plans do you have this year? I want to pull an ultimate hoax on the school. I must plot immediately. Well, after I eat." Like one could plot on an empty stomach. Pfft!

Camira just stared. Paris had suddenly started acting very strange. "Okay." Psycho much? Why did she always make friends with the psychos?

Camira eyed the boy warily. He didn't know about Hogwarts classes and he didn't ride a broom. So weird. "Oh. Well, didn't your parents teach you about Hogwarts and whatnot?" Really, what were parents thinking these days?

Oooh, more firsties. Yay. "Hello, there. Nice to meet you." And then she laughed at what Whitney said. "I'm hungry, but don't worry, I only eat Hufflepuffs", she said with a wink.

Wow, speak of the devil...again. "Hey there. It's going okay. How about you? How was your summer?" Oh, but wait. Kayla had new friends now. Why was she sitting with Camira? Camira's expression turned sulky without even realizing it. Not good.

She looked at another small boy, she rather liked being around all these short people. It made her feel tall and that has never happened to Paris. "Hey," She said to him.

Paris wanted explode. How could they let that horrible woman near children, near people. "Oh Jake I think we can do better than a dungbomb." She sad darkly.

"Well I totally rocked on the Muggle Studies exam. I got 10 bonus points for my suggestions for classes this term. And not to brag, but I got perfect on my DADA final." Amanda said with a smirk, ah how she loved to reminiscence in the past.

Jake started to sound conveniently like a monkey.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!" he bounced up and down, getting quite high for a 4ft5 kid. "What is it?! I so have to help! I'll even take the blame." Jake nodded frantically. Anything to get this woman.

Stop bouncing, ya freak!

Kayla smiled brightly at Paris, she liked the younger girl she had lots os spunk and she could tell that she was going to be quite the handful. Thankfully this was not her house, otherwise she would have work cut out for her. "Looking good as always Paris" she said giving the girl a nod. "Hope the rest of your summer was good."


"Nice to see you again Amanda" she looked around for the Gryffindor that was usually with her but he didn't seem to be at the table. She shrugged, she would let it go...for now.

Turning to Camira, Kayla smiled at her friend. The two of them had been through quite a lot over the past four years and yet they still remained as good as ever. As far as she was concerned what happened last term was now forgotten.

"I'm good" she finally managed to answer. "And my summer was even better" she smirked slightly before noticing the look on Camira's face. "Okay what's the matter with you? You look like someone just kicked your pup" Kayla took a sip of her pumpkin juice and eyed Camira curiously.

Okay, so maybe he did A little wandering outside the grounds. A whole walk around the castle. He really needed fresh air, though. Being trapped his screaming trildren on A train, then having to deal with Physco girl with her awefully cute, bacteria infested bat And window licker girl who had just accidently crash into his conpartment window seemed to actially get your blood running quickly.

The train ride went faster than it seemed, really. He was thinking maybe two hours longer, but this timing was good enough for him. He could start breathing again, at last. Drench coat flying past his waist as he stalked into the roon, index finger anf thumb pinching the bridge of his nose, He seemingly found his new house table. The color green was A little tacky in his thought, but he'd only have to get used to it after A while.

And it was filling in quickly. Another down side to being late. There was hardly any seats left. He walked down the row slowly, eyeing the table for A whole between two kids, but nothing seemed to come up. How sad was this?

he heard his name as he looked to follow the voice down the table some. Look who it was. His favorite prefect hufflepuff. Though dont remind her of it. He gave her a smile as he caught her wink. he couldnt help but let out a small chuckle." Not yet. Though im sure without your help i'll do it eventually." he snickered a little as he looked at the people she was sitting with."Who's your friends?" he asked curiously as he raised an eye brow at her.

he looked around to see Jayne sitting by herself. Big shocker."Jayne! Get over here." he told her from his own seat. he motioned her towards him as she wasnt going to get away from being tortured by people yet. the term had just started. He wasnt going to be that nice to her yet." Come on. No one is going to bite you." He would drag her down here if he had too.

He was having one of those eye twitching incidents again when he heard that Jake got sorted into Hufflepuff. Remaining silent for about 30 seconds he was speaking like a crazy man in his head. Huff... Huff! HuffPuff! There was no hatred between him and the house but the person that was in it. Jake got sorted into the same house of Dominic Denton. The worst Dominic in the world you could ever meet. Cam didn't even care about the witch/hag he was talking about now. He was still overreacting to the news he had just heard.

"Huffleepuff? The house of DOMINIC DENTON?!" he said and was almost to the brink of yelling. So much hatred to a guy he met in Diagon Alley for a few minutes. It took a few minutes for Cam to finally calm down. "Bleh, sorry for that. But that means you probably have to see that guy everywhere." He was worried for Jake now.

Cam turned back to Camira and answered her question. "My parents? Oh, you got it wrong. I'm what you call a muggle-born. So I didn't really know anything about this place till I got my letter." Then again he heard that there were very few muggle-borns in his house. So maybe she thought that.

Casting her emerald eyes around the hall, they locked on a handsome boy with a billowing trench coat that was coming this way.

"Teagen," she smiled as he came closer. She got up off of the bench and walked to him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Come, Cayden and I saved a seat for you." She smiled before taking his hand and leading him over to their seats.

She looked at him going up and down and up and down. She was really going to have to do something about the bouncing. It was seriously giving her a headache. "Well I can't discuss it here in the open. But you can help me plan and carry it out. I don't want you to take the blame love. I want her to know I did it." She promised the younger boy.

Paris' face softened. She twirled around to give Kayla the full effect of her Chloe jersey dress with her lace up Chanel ballerina flats. "Thank you so much. I do try." She giggled. "Oh my summer was great. Spent it surfing with Xander in Fiji. How was yours?" She asked.

Camira just continued smirking. Bragging contests of all things. "Very nice." She thought for a moment before a wide grin took place of the smirk. "What do you say we have a little contest?" Oh, this could be fun.

What the? Camira had turned her head only to find a little bouncing Huffie firstie. Oh dear. "Are you quite alright", she asked a bit firmly. Honeslty, bouncing Huffies at the Slythie table was just....ugh.

Huh? Dominic Denton? She gave him a puzzled look. "You know Dom?" Eeeep, sexy Dominic Denton. Who had conveniently ignored her in DA. She was still going to get him back for that. She decided not to comment on the mudbl- uh, muggleborn thing. The whole if you don'y have anything nice to say thing.

Camira forced a bright smile onto her face. "Huh? Oh, no, nothing. Just thinking about something. But I'm glad to hear that your summer was great. what'd you do?" As an afterthought, she said, "Oh, and no one kicked my pup. He's under the table." Smirk firmly applied onto face. Check.

A big, long haired, white dog poked his head cautiously out from under the table. It's like he knew he was being talked about. After making sure all was okay, he quickly pulled his head back in.

Jayne looked over at him and raised a brow. Make me. She thought to herself. But on second thought, he probably would. She flicked her eyes at the other people he was with then rolled her eyes and stood to join him, giving a look that said, 'I'll come but it doesn't mean I'll suddenly become Mary Poppins'. "Fine," she sighed to him, plopping down at his side.
