Ms.Popular." looking around the table. Mariel went to America. Awesome. Where in America did you go?" he asked. "My summer was...semi eventful." he said trying to avoid answering her question how he wanted to. His summer was crazy. He hardly traveled. What had really happened is that his parents had finally had even of each other and divorced. Him and his younger siblings had moved in with his grandparents. Which was okay with him. Meant he didn't have to deal with his parents fighting and his grandparents didn't live in the city so that was good for having loads of animals. "Anyways.. what was your favorite thing about America?". All those people? Mariel glanced around her again. It seemed she was talking to quite a few people - more than usual it seemed. Why was she feeling so exceptionally friendly today, anyway? She glanced in her goblet again at the suspicious pumpkin juice... no, it was probably just the excitement of seeing all her friends again - and most of them happened to be sitting around her. "Oh, well we went to a place called Montana. Ever been there? It was... big. The land, I mean." Ugh, that didn't come out right. She just meant that it was such a vast amount of land. Nothing like she'd seen before. Nodding as Nathaniel spoke, Mariel narrowed her eyes slightly at what he said. "Semi-eventful...? What does that mean?" Quote:
Originally Posted by iheartdan Kel finished what he was going to eat of his dinner, then took a few sips from his goblet as Mariel talked to other people. Not wanting to intrude, he just looked around the hall - and he was just fine with doing that. This place was so...interesting!
Well, the study tables was a good idea. "I might have to check those out some time," he said, smiling a bit. He had a feeling that the students in Ravenclaw wouldn't make fun of him for needing a bit of help with schoolwork - they'd just want him to do the best he could, surely, to help them get the house cup. And, with so many brainiacs in one place, finding help couldn't be that hard.
Kel looked away at the look Mariel gave him before answering. Was that a stupid question? Oh. Before school...that made sense. Kel didn't realize that he was home schooled before eleven because, well, he'd been home schooled until fourteen. He nodded his head to show that he understood, then looked at the table.
Looking up when he heard a voice close to him, Kel noticed the girl that had just asked him a question. Without thinking, he nodded. "Yeah, sure," he said quickly, scooting a bit closer to Mariel to give the girl he didn't know the seat that he'd been thinking about giving to Fwig. Crap! "Are you a Ravvie?" he asked, eying the crest on her robes. Overlooking the fact that this girl wasn't a 'Claw, he took a drink from his goblet of pumpkin juice, then turned to the new girl. "Keltan Micheals," he said, holding out a hand. "And you are...?" Mariel watched Keltan look around the Great Hall in awe and she smiled a little. She remembered all too well what it was like for her the first time she stepped foot into this room. It was truly amazing and she was sure every first year and transfer student thought the same. Smiling a little bit wider as he turned back to her, she nodded her agreement in regards to the study tables. She really did hope he'd frequent them as she often did her work there. How fun it would be to have a study buddy.
Then the third year watched him carefully as he looked away. Did she say something wrong? She thought she must have since he looked almost embarassed and merely nodded without speaking, which was, what? The third time in one day that she said something to make this boy feel bad? Mariel frowned a little before looking down at her own hands in her lap. She wasn't usually so worried about what other people thought about what she said, especially when she didn't think she said anything wrong or spoke her 'blunt honesty' as Sarah would call it. So why was she now worried about continually saying the wrong thing to Keltan? She gave him one more small smile before he turned to talk to a new arrival on his other side. Quote:

Vindictus.Yes he could be particularly stern.Sarah remembered the scene from last term in the Hospital Wing when two students had taken it upon themselves to practice Quidditch.She wasn't sure which would have hurt them more...the injuries or the bellowing of Vindictus' voice in their ears.
Shrugging,she turned to Mariel. "Yeah it's best to stick to official practice...and in the summer of course! I just wish you could do it at my house,but the garden's too small and I think the neighbours may get suspicious if they saw a broom flying in the air!" She laughed at the thought of that. "Plus I think that's illegal anyway right? If there's no "of-age" witches/wizards around..." Sarah rubbed her temples trying to remember if Quidditch was covered by that law or not.In the end she just shrugged again and placed her head in her hands.God I am soooo tired! "Krazy is there?!" Sarah looked up again as she heard Mariel's words.Oh boy,Jake had chosen the wrong teacher to get on the bad side of. "He scares me abit you know," she said,shuddering as distant memories of last year's finals came back to her.The Dementor had only been marginally more scary. "Yeah maybe it's best if we all stay here,you know,sit it out.We can always fall asleep at the table if we need to." Shuddering again,she pulled her robes closer round her.
Sarah's head spun round when she heard someone else addressing Mariel.Oh it was Nathaniel. "Hello Nathaniel,nice to see you again," even though you always completely ignore me. The last part of the sentence she said in her head.She didn't want him to know it angered her.Several times in their first two terms he had spoken to Mariel and acted as if the people around her weren't there.It wasn't as if she really wanted him to like her,no,just a hello or bit of recognition wouldn't go amiss.But Mariel liked him so Sarah was always pleasent.
Wait...fan club?!
Maybe he didn't realise when he was being rude."Urrgghhh." Sarah let the sound escape from her lips as she picked up a fork and started to stab at some leftover meat,listening as Mariel told him about the summer they'd had.
Boys... Leaning her head on her hand, Mariel smiled sleepily at Sarah as they continued their Quidditch talk. "Yeah, I don't think we can play at your house," she agreed. "It's not allowed in Muggle neighborhoods unless you have specific charms surrounding your property." Mariel couldn't remember exactly what charms and wards they were, but she remembered all the permission and legalities set around her getting that practice set so they could play over the summer. "Yeah, I think you're right... it's not illegal for us to play, but we do have to have someone of age to supervise us." But they could still play at Jenn's house, and maybe even go back to America next summer.
Mariel nodded solemnly as Sarah, too, glanced up at the Staff Table. The third year tried not to look that way again as she was afraid of getting into trouble for... looking the wrong way? Who knew with some of the stricter teachers? She wasn't taking any chances and would sit and wait for Professor Bontecou like a good little Ravenclaw. In fact, she wasn't even going to say Kazimeriz's name again. She knew from personal experience that the old man had crazy super-hearing and what if he heard Sarah call him 'Krazy'? He'd certainly find that disrespectful - and start taking the points away...
As she was speaking to Nathaniel, she heard Sarah address him as well - albeit a bit tensly. Mariel held her breath for a moment, remembering their... confrontation? in Potions last year. Okay, that wasn't the best word for it, but it was the first word that came to the young girl's mind. At any rate, she hated seeing two of her close friends not get along. Hopefully it would be differnet this year, but she was not holding her breath. At least not anymore. Quote:

After she had finished,she got up and smiled at Victoria..'Bye..am going to the dormitory..' she said Quote:

Mariel's attention was diverted when she thought she heard a few girls down the table a bit talking about leaving. Glancing up and watching them for a moment, she realized they must be first years as, one - she had never seen them before today, and two - they were smaller than her. Leaning towards them, she called "Girls!" to get their attention. Shaking her head sternly, she said, "You can't leave right now, the Headmaster hasn't made his speech and we haven't been dismissed. I know you're new here, but we're not allowed to go just yet and the professors will take points from you if you go. Please don't lose any points for Ravenclaw." Mariel inwardly groaned. Great. She sounded like a prefect now. But Ravenclaw worked really hard for the House cup that they won for the first time in eight years and she wasn't about to let it go into the hands of another House.

Kaylee Ashen walked into the Great Hall, staring in awe. "Wow! I never expected this to be so big," she said. Glancing around with her hazel eyes she looked for the Ravenclaw House Table. She walked toward a table, seeing lots of blue. "Hello," she said, sitting down on a chair. Only then did she realize how tired she was.

'Oh! sorry..I did'nt know that..I ceirtainly wont lose points for Ravenclaw'
Linda sat on the bench..looking at the headmaster...she had brought her Tales of Beedle the Bard along with her..she started to read it.. Quote:

Just then,Linda saw a girl come and sit down on the bench..She heard her say 'hello'.So Linda,very cheerfully,said 'Hi..Iam Linda..first year..u look like a first year too..what's ur name?'.She held her hand out to shake hands with the new girl..

Hopefully it would be differnet this year, but she was not holding her breath. At least not anymore. Sarah listened as Mariel responded to her words. "Hmmm sounds like the best idea," she agreed,resting her head on her arms,which she had folded and layed on the table. "Hopefully we can go to America again.If Lasca and her dad don't mind of course.It was so much fun this year." She nodded her head gently and felt her eyes start to close. NOOOOO Sarah don't sleep! You'll get detention for weeks if you're caught. WAKE UP!
Snapping her head back up,and rubbing her eyes to try and keep awake,Sarah noticed that Mariel had gone somewhat quiet.She seemed to be nervous to even look up at the platform where all the teachers were,and slightly shocked that Sarah had called Kazimeriz 'Krazy'.Although truth be told she didn't say it because she thought he was,just that she could never remember his name and it was easier to say that....never to his face or within hearing distance,she wasn't that stupid.
Uhoh Mariel had caught the tone of voice that she had used to address Nathaniel and appeared to be waiting for something to happen. I hope I don't upset her,I don't want that.
Sarah didn't like being rude to people,it wasn't really in her nature,but Nate had been rude on a few occasions,not least laughing at her potion-covered self in class last term.
Perhaps if I just let him talk to Mariel,that is after all who he really want's to talk to.
Turning to her friend she gave her a reassuring smile,hoping to convey the fact that she wasn't going to start a fight with Nate. "Bread stick?" she asked,holding one out to her with a smile...and hoping to use it as a peace offering/ice breaker.

"hm..." said Bella her voice sleepy. she saw what her friend was holding infront of her face. she sat up straight immediately.
"oh damn it. i was sleeping on a pudding," she almost screamed
"thanks Linda," she said to her friend and started to wipe of the pudding from her hair with a handkerchief.
"it smells of...egg,arg..." she said smelling her hair.
"Bella you are behaving ridiculously," she scolded herself.

"I didn't know we couldn'y leave. I guess I'll have to stay and wait." said Jule and sat back down. She took out a quill and some parchment and began doodling.

"hey what's up Jule?" asked Bella still wiping off the pudding from her hair with her nose wrinkled as her hair was now smelling of pudding.
"what are you writing?" she asked

"Can't say I've had a good experiance with it.Tried to pull me off my broom during flying finals last term,thought we were toys." She actually chuckled a little as she remembered the flailing tentacles.Quickly covering her mouth to disguise it,she cleared her throat and continued eating bread sticks.
My deal? What on earth did he mean by that? "I don't understand," she confessed,truthfully. "I just coughed,if that's what you mean...." she trailed off the sentence,looking at him with confusion written all over her face.Really...she was having a hard time understanding what made this boy tick.
Sarah sat and watched the exchange between Nate and Mariel.Not that she was eavesdropping on purpose,just that everyone else was chatting to other people at that point.He seemed to be....enamoured,was that the word? No that's something her nan would say.Either way it was slightly obvious,to her anyway,that Nate had a crush on Mariel. Hmmm this could be interesting if it developes over the term.... |

He wasn't sure if he should scoot over and give Jenn room to sit by him (Why in the world would he think that?!) but she was still standing, so he didn't do anything. Jenn could feel the heat rising to her face as he grinned. She was quite embarressed, but then at the same time, she was trying to soak in his amazing smile.....WAIT! Amazing smile? What was with her? She had no feelings what-so-ever for this unsocial freak!......at least not big ones. "Really?! That's so neat! I'm so happy for you! You got your wish in a way! I mean, your not in Slytherin...that's a good thing...right? Cause you didn't want to be in that house...you told me so."she smiled wide. "Of coarse, what will your parents think?"she gasped. Quote:

The third year listened as Jenn started talking about Quidditch... but wait... "Whaddya mean you can cheer us on?" Mariel started in surprise before hearing Jenn say that she might try out too. "Well, you should try out. We'll have so much fun together on the pitch."
She nodded in agreement as Jenn and Sarah talked about making a point to get together by the lake for some catch-up time. It had really been too long since they'd seen Jenn and Mariel was not going to let them drift apart again. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure we're not allowed to practice at school outside of our team practices," she said, knowing Professor Vindictus was pretty strict about those kinds of things and she was not going to disappoint him this year by breaking any rules - at least not his rules. "But, yeah, we should definitely play at your house over the summer, Jenn."
Mariel glanced up at the Staff Table as the girls then discussed some boy sitting in front of the table. A little Huffie boy with... pink hair, she noticed as she squinted her eyes. As she watched with detatched curiosity, the third year noticed another young Huffie boy being placed next to the first, both apparently being reprimanded by Kazimeriz. Turning back to the girls discussing the situation, Mariel shrugged. "Looks like Professor Kazimeriz is sorting them out." Which meant, one - they did something to anger him, and two - she and her friends needed to mind their own business lest they feel the wrath of Kazimeriz themselves. "What's that around their necks?" she asked her group of friends as she tried to peer closer. Er, baby bibs?
The young Ravenclaw began picking at what was left of her food as she vaguely listened to her friends discuss the delayed Headmaster. Until Sarah voiced the thought of asking where he might be. Her eyes snapping up to Sarah, Mariel vehemently shook her head. "I wouldn't say anything unless you want to go the way of those two." Or lose House points! She gestured to the two boys on the dias. She was sure Kazimeriz would have a problem with someone talking out of turn and asking about the whereabouts of the Headmaster would probably be seen as disrespectful in his eyes. "I wouldn't be too worried about it. You know how Professor Bontecou is," she told the girls. "Always getting lost... Besides, don't you remember how late he was last year for the Welcoming feast? Everyone was finished eating so he barely even gave a speech before dismissing us." Yes, the girl was tired, but it would be a while before she was truly worried about the Headmaster. Besides, no one on staff seemed to have even noticed.
Mariel nodded happily. She was sure Keltan would do just fine in class as it sounded like he had adequate homeschooling. "Well, if you ever find yourself having any trouble with lessons, just let me know... or any Ravenclaw, for that matter," the third year told him. "We have some great study tables in the common room. And there's always someone hanging out there doing homework and willing to help."
Slightly surprised at the question, Mariel stared at Keltan for a moment before nodding slowly. Of course she was homeschooled, her parents certainly wouldn't send her to a Muggle school. "Well... yeah... until I was eleven I was homeschooled and then I came here," she said simply. That's what all young witches did, right? Except for Muggleborns like Sarah, she supposed. Jenn laughed. "I hadn't heared that one until last year...and I laughed and laughed. Now it's just kinda stuck you know?"she grinned. "You know, your right. We would have a blast on the pitch. And maybe I could get over my nervousness."she nodded. Picking at her roll, she yawned widely, covering it before anyone saw the inside of her. "Oh that would be so much fun! And you could come over too Keltan."she said, turning to look at him, a warm smile on her face. Deep down she was hoping he'd say okay, or sure I'd love too......not because she liked him, just because he was her friend.
Jenn looked back up at the front of the hall and sighed. "I don't know if that's a good thing if Kazimeriz is sorting them out. Kazimeriz quite strict, but a great teacher."Jenn pointed out, her brown eyes watching them closely.
Jenn squinted slightly to see what Mariel was talking about. "Um...Oh that's mean if it is what I think it is."she gasped out, though a slight smirk was on her face.
Raising her hands up in a protective way she shook her head. "I wasn't planing on it. I would hate to loose points for Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff can't lose any more as it is."she said, pointing to the direction of the hourglasses. "Besides, like you said Mariel. He likes to make a entrance, and he get's lost easily too. So, we'll just wait here and...talk."she sighed. Her bed seemed to be calling, screming even, for her. It's blue and bronze colored sheets and pillows, seeming so nice right then.
Jenn nodded excitedly as Mariel explained things to Kel. "She's right. Infact, I wouldn't mind showing you around latter if you want, or to your classes."she smiled at him. "I was homeschooled also. My parents wouldn't even let me enter a muggle school, even though I snuck in a few times."she winked. " When I turned 11 on the 22nd of September, I finally went. But me and Mariel are a year older than most. Like I'm 14 and in a third year....wierd huh?"she grinned. Quote:

Sarah tried hard to sound serious as she put her hand over her heart and spoke in reponse to Jenn's fained hurt.But she just couldn't do it.Breaking down in giggles,she gave her friend a playful nudge with her hand. "Just don't go trying it on me!"
Swimming in the lake? With that Giant Squid? Brave Jenn,very brave. "I must admit I've never tried that," she said,scratching her chin. "To be honest,and this may sound weird,I've never even learnt how to swim." Sarah put her head down slightly.It was something she was embarrassed about,something she really should know how to do.Whenever she tried,though,all that happened was she sank like a stone...very undignified. "Yeah you're right.He does like to make an entrance,I just hope he does it soon!" Sarah was starting to lose the will to live,and there was only so much she could eat before she made herself ill. "Oh absolutely she should tryout!" Sarah nodded her head with as much enthusiasm as she could muster that late in the day. "It'll be fun for us all to do it."
Vindictus.Yes he could be particularly stern.Sarah remembered the scene from last term in the Hospital Wing when two students had taken it upon themselves to practice Quidditch.She wasn't sure which would have hurt them more...the injuries or the bellowing of Vindictus' voice in their ears.
Shrugging,she turned to Mariel. "Yeah it's best to stick to official practice...and in the summer of course! I just wish you could do it at my house,but the garden's too small and I think the neighbours may get suspicious if they saw a broom flying in the air!" She laughed at the thought of that. "Plus I think that's illegal anyway right? If there's no "of-age" witches/wizards around..." Sarah rubbed her temples trying to remember if Quidditch was covered by that law or not.In the end she just shrugged again and placed her head in her hands.God I am soooo tired! "Krazy is there?!" Sarah looked up again as she heard Mariel's words.Oh boy,Jake had chosen the wrong teacher to get on the bad side of. "He scares me abit you know," she said,shuddering as distant memories of last year's finals came back to her.The Dementor had only been marginally more scary. "Yeah maybe it's best if we all stay here,you know,sit it out.We can always fall asleep at the table if we need to." Shuddering again,she pulled her robes closer round her.
Sarah's head spun round when she heard someone else addressing Mariel.Oh it was Nathaniel. "Hello Nathaniel,nice to see you again," even though you always completely ignore me. The last part of the sentence she said in her head.She didn't want him to know it angered her.Several times in their first two terms he had spoken to Mariel and acted as if the people around her weren't there.It wasn't as if she really wanted him to like her,no,just a hello or bit of recognition wouldn't go amiss.But Mariel liked him so Sarah was always pleasent.
Wait...fan club?!
Maybe he didn't realise when he was being rude."Urrgghhh." Sarah let the sound escape from her lips as she picked up a fork and started to stab at some leftover meat,listening as Mariel told him about the summer they'd had.
Boys... Jenn laughed in a evil way. " You have now heard a side of me that I have kept hidden for a long time...Muahaha!"she giggled. Oh this was good fun, especially since she was hyper and tired at the same time. "Oh you never know...I might just do it. Make sure your shampoo doesn't have a strange color in it before you use it."she winked, before yawning again. "You never learned how to swim? Wow....Well if you want, I can teach you if you want! It's really quite easy once you get the hang of it. I promise." Wow...she had defiently not known that before. But now she was diterminde to teach her friend.
Jenn nodded. "I agree. Bread, meat, and sweets can only get you so far before you crash. I know, maybe his hair wouldn't work just right, so he's still up there working on it."she laughed. "It would be fun for us all to try out. Of coarse, just imagine us playing each other....oh now that woul be scary....you'd defiently have to watch what's in your shampoo then."she giggled.
Jenn laughed loudly. "Oh just imagine the looks on your neighbors faces! They's think they've gone crazy or something."she chuckled out. Oh now that would be priceless. Jenn moaned loudly. " Oh don't make me start thinking about laws and other stuff like that. I'm to tired to think about that."she thudded her head against the table.
"He scares a lot of people. But he's great at what he teaches. I learned so much from him last year you know." Oh the professor's had better not give them a lot of homework tomorrow, or she would scream. She was sooo tired that her eyes where starting to hurt from concentrating so hard at staying open.
A picture poped in her head when Sarah said that. Them all sprawled out on the table, some on the floor, as finally the Headmaster rushes in, his hair in a afro. She cracked up laughing.
Jenn frowned as Nathaniel came over. She didn't mind him, but he never talked to her. He only talked to Mariel, like she was a goddess or something. It drove her insane sometimes. "Hey Nat."she muttered out, her eyes narrowing slightly, and she turned her gaze to her almost empty plate.
Are you kidding me?! Fan club?! Jenn had the strange urge to smack the evil little boy. She couldn't help but join Sarah in a loud groan, which excaped her mouth. Jenn, for his imformation, was actually quite popular. Just because the boy had only what...one friend? didn't make a person with a bunch have a fan club. Sheesh. He had issues.

"Are you a Ravvie?" he asked, eying the crest on her robes. Overlooking the fact that this girl wasn't a 'Claw, he took a drink from his goblet of pumpkin juice, then turned to the new girl. "Keltan Micheals," he said, holding out a hand. "And you are...?" "Thanks," Natasha said with a smile before sitting down. "Oh, no, I'm in Slytherin. I was just getting kind of bored over at my table." She said to him. "Natasha Lovato," Natasha said, shaking his hand politely. "Nice to meet you." |

She looked at Thomas and wondered when they will finally be together but they will stay friends until then.

After a moment, she gestured to her left, where the seventh year Ravencalw sat.
"Dani, this is Karma; Karma, this is my neighbor Dani." Karma nodded towards the outburst of the younger girl and smiled. She was very energetic. The way that Ari adjusted her glasses again just showed to Karma that her inhibitions were right about Ari. "Hello Dani," she said, smiling. "So tell me about your old school Ari."

But Ari couldn't find quite the right words, so she summed it up with, "..depressing."
Arienna wondered to herself, if Karma knew. People usually tried to test her, or outright ask. Neither of which bothered Ari, but it was strange to meet someone who didn't seem to focus on her blindness. Karma clearly wasn't waving a hand in front of Ari's face--A usual reaction she got from people.
Finally, she finished her thought, "I'm glad to be here."

Finally, she finished her thought, "I'm glad to be here." Yuck, hating the school, plus having to go to school, just made it worse. Karma made a face in disgust, then realized that it wouldn't be seen. "Schools like that just suck, don't they?" she said. "But it's good that your parents finally let you come. I was excited when we moved here, it was rather interesting. I got made fun of for my accent sometimes, but it's alright."
Karma took a sip of her pumpkin juice from the goblet in front on her. She didn't want to bluntly ask if she was blind, but she was trying to find a way to ask without being rude. "Do you think you'll need help getting around? I'd be more than happy to help out. Besides, we can be good friends too," Karma said, making sure the smile in her voice was heard.

She sipped her pumpkin juice and seriously wanted to go to bed now.

Ari smiled.
Ari froze for a moment. For a moment, she pursed her lips. But after a second of though, she realized that, indeed, Hogwarts was four or five times bigger than her old school. "...At first--yes, that would be very nice. However...I do plan to learn the school quickly, so it won't be necessary for long."
A pause...
"Thank you. I appreciate it."

"Thank you. I appreciate it." Karma nodded as she planned out her next words. Memorizing the castle wouldn't be hard, but with some of the secret passageways, that might get tricky. She would still offer assistance. "Once you get the hang of it, it shouldn't be too hard," Karma said. "But the staircases are what really gets everyone, cause those stupid things send you to the wrong places sometimes."
She paused. Had she been patronizing her? Crap. That was definitely not the intention. When Ari said thank you, her shoulders eased a bit. "Any time. Just let me know when you need me, I'll be there."

Thomas was so tired he would right now run to his common room and sleep there. "Well," said Thomas to Vic," I think that tomorrow I'll sleep the whole day, what are you planning tomorrow Vicky?"

Just let me know when you need me, I'll be there." "Never is. Hard, I mean. Call it a sixth sense. I memorise steps, find my stopping marks, and it just sticks. For example--I've counted a total of nine hundred and fourteen steps since I got off the train. There are 19 steps on the first, and then 22 steps on the second staircases leading to the great hall. It's five steps from the doorway of the great hall to the Ravenclaw table. Stuff like that just sticks with me." Ari smiled, sort of bragging to herself over her magnificient memory ninja skills.
"Oh, yes..the staircases...Those will be hard, but I've got a plan. And--thanks again." She adjusted her glasses once more--just to be safe.
