Thomas got shocked when Vic kissed him. "Okay, that was strange. Next time you do that do it the train, okay. Oh, and just to tell you we,re not allowed to do that at school or we'll get detention.

"Yeah I lived in Paris, Rome, Barcalona, New York, Cairo, Paris again, London, Cambridgeshire, Venice and Edinburgh. But I never had long enough to make friends properly. You should, I'd love to come with with you. I haven't lived in Asia or Ocenia yet. It feels so strange that I'm going to be here for the next seven years. I can't wait for the lessons to start. Does that make me sound really dorky?" Shaunee laughed.

Marisa looked back at Kevin when he spoke to the other girl and was pleased by his response. With a sly approving smile she shrugged, "Its fine with me."

"So Kevin- are you a Ravenclaw," she asked looking down at his apparel.

Satine looked over her shoulder to where Laura was nodding, "O that's Aaron. He's a Slytherin and a first year. It seems all of my friends I met in Diagon Alley and on the Hogwarts Express were sorted into Slytherin." her voice trailed off in the end. She was soooo very happy to be a Ravvie, but it did bother her a little bit that she now how to start all over again meeting friends...she felt herself being kind of remorseful and it startled her...she was a very optimistic person and this was not like her at all...She sighed slightly.

"O I see." Satine said not really knowing what to say she couldn't say she understood because...well..she didn't. "Well maybe once you come home for the break they'll understand and respect it a little bit more from your notes and stories and such."

"Thanks! I'm Satine!" She said extending her hand to shake the boy's and girl's hands.

William smiled, "I'll return the favor you know." He replied as he stretched his legs out a bit. He had forgotten how hard these benches were. His eyes lit up as she handed him some chocolate frogs. "Thanks!" he exclaimed happily ripping one open and taking a bite. His eyes closed briefly as he chewed and swallowed before opening them and turning to her. "Dragons? Where did you see those?" He asked with wonder in his voice. He shrugged and thought how his summer went. "Oh you know, sleeping until noon, hanging out with my friends in Hawaii, the usual." he replied.

So, Satine, what do you think will be your favorite lesson?" asked Thomas. He had no idea were that question came from.

Shaunee smiled kindly at Sadine, "It's fine, they're just a bit hesitant for me to be far away from them and it's not everyday someone comes and tells you, "Hey, your daughter is a witch and she's going to go to noarding school.""

Shaunee didn't want to seem selfcentered, which she wasn't, "So what do you like to do for fun?"

Laura was soo relieved to hear that the games were safe; maybe now she'd feel like playing in a couple of years.
"I hope I pick up flying pretty easily," she said to Natka, "I'm quite sporty, so I should!
"I used to play lacross, but I hated it! We were forced to play in school," she explained.
"Oh, what else was there? Well, I did gymnastics, athletics, netball and swimming," Laura ticked them off on her fingers a she spoke. "Did you ever play any muggle sports?"

"Well," said Laura smiling, "Now you've got seven years of being in the same place to make friends! And I'll always be here!" she laughed. "No, it's not really dorky to want to start lessons! I want to too, and I bet everyone else does! I think they're going to be soo fun!"

Kevin smiled at Risa and said "Nope i am a Slytherin but i have quite a few ravenclaw friends" Kevin shook Satine's hand and said "Nice to meet you Satine, I am Kevin"

Marisa reach over and took Satine's hand that she offered. "You can call me either Risa or MJ, I go by both," she said with a shrug. "So are you a first year," she asked.

"I should have guessed," Marisa said with the only other person she meet so far in mind. "Are you new to Hogwarts this year," she asked trying to keep the conversation going.

Shaunee smiled gleefully, "So who is everyone here?" Shaunee asked as she felt that she only really knew Laura.

She was excited to finally be talking about something other than relationships and Quidditch. "I'm looking forward to Transfiguration and Potions! I hope we learn how to create butterflies out of objects!" In her head she could see butterflies flying out from her goblet and she followed them with her eyes to the beautiful ceiling...then catching herself...looked back at Thomas. "What about you?"

Satine smiled at her comment about "your daughter is a witch"...she could see how that would be a huge surprise. She tried to play out how things would've been different if she had been in that situation in her head. "I could def see how that would be a huge surprise and shocker"

Trying to move along with the subject change, she continued, "O I love Dancing and taking pictures....pictures is the most amazing Muggle invention EVER! And I absolutely love laughing and being spontaneous and crazy. What about you?"

Smiling, as Mariel's face lit up, Lasca enjoyed watching her friend when she got started on Quidditch. Over the summer holiday they had all spent a good amount of time flying and playing. Lasca as a rule loved flying and was getting better at the game.

"I might go out, I haven't decided yet." It's not that she didn't want to, because if she was honest with herself she did. It was the fear of embarrassing herself that kept her from going out.

Leaning her head over so that it rested on Sarah's she giggled as she made her little jokes. Lifting weights? That made Lasca laugh. Playing beater was fun as long as you could hit an object that was flying at you. At first this had scared Lasca but she felt a fair bit of release everytime she did it. Everything that was stressing her out went away after she played beater.

Kevin shook his head and said to Risa "Nope i am just going into my second year at Hogwarts"

Shaunee laughed, "Tell me about it. I play the flute and I love to read." Shaunee put a slice of pumpkin pie onto her plate and began to cut it up using her fork.

"Really," Marisa said without thinking about her statment. "How do you like it here," she asked with great interest.

Kevin smiled at Risa and said "I love it here and i think you will come to love Hogwarts too"

Without recognition, Marisa rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't be all that sure about that, but I am glad to here that you enjoy your time here."

Kevin smiled and said "Thanks well i hope that you can get used to it Risa"

"Horse riding," Natka smiled in response, her eyes lighting up at the mention of horses. "I even have my own horse, you know. That's the thing I miss about home most when I'm at school; riding. I took part in my first jumping competition this year, too, and i even got first place!"

Pausing, Natka coloured slightly as she realised how much that sounded like bragging. And that was the last thing she wanted to do. She was just so happy that she'd managed to win she couldn'thelp hsaring the news with her friends...

You really need to tone that down unless you want to be self-absorbed, she thought to herself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it to sound like bragging, I'm just so happy about it, that's all..." Natka added afer a moment, not exactly meeting Laura's eyes.

"Anyway, lacrosse sound cool, although I never played it, myself. I used to love netball, though," she said with a small smile.

Suddenly, Elizabeth heard a familiar voice on her other side, and turned to see Rose. She smiled as she realized she hadn't really seen the Gryffindor since the summer. And Robert hadn't responded to her yet, so she decided to occupy herself. Especially when she noticed the look Rose gave him. Okay, why am I the last one to know things?, she thought, before responding to Rose's questions. "Hey Rose. My summer was good. At least, the part you don't already know about," she said with a grin. She tilted her head to one side as she tried to figure out who exactly the other girl was asking her last question to, but decided to answer anyway. "I'm good. I'd be better if I knew where Ludo was. And if some other people would talk to me," she said, playfully poking Robert. Since he was the only person she was currently trying to get to talk to her.

And as she talked to Rose, she saw Cayden come over to sit next to Mari. For a moment, she was glad, since maybe he could make her best friend feel better until she could get over there, but then something hit her. Cayden wouldn't understand why she had gone to Robert in the first place. She could hope Mari did, since Mari knew about how she saw Robert like a brother and therefore would want him feeling better. And she knew about how Elizabeth had to navigate herself between the two after Mari had chosen Cayden. But Cayden was probably thinking she was evil or something, which she thought was unfounded. But it wouldn't do any good to try to explain it to him. She had a feeling he didn't actually listen to half of what she said normally anyway. But she was going to have to get him to understand somehow. She wasn't abandoning Mari, or Robert, so he was going to have to deal with the possible problems that might arise.

isabella walked her way to the Ravenclaw table as she was late to the feast. she had to collect her luggage from her empty compartment and had to literally run to get on to the mode of transport to get to the school. she looked here and there for her friends...

Marisa shrugged in response. "Maybe I guess you never know how things will work out, huh?"

"but tell me Thomas, do you like Vicky like she likes you?"

"Well," said Thomas, he really wasn't sure in the beginning but then he made up his mind, "First, I really don't want to make butterflies and lessons. Secondly I think I would like Herboligy it should be intresting.
