"Hi," Emily introduced herself to another girl. Even though the girl was already talking to someone, she figured neither one would care. "My name's Emily, what's yours?"

"Thanks. The game was great. It was more Jake than anything. He was great the way he caught the Snitch." kay said happily. "I can wait until this year."

"Thanks. I have never been a big eater. Have to stay in shape to play Quidditch." Kay smiled at him. "Thats ok, I understand." Kay said knowing that the Slytherin were a bad point right now. "Oh, I am so bad. The professor that was here was Lawson. He did DADA last term, but he will be the Muggle studiea teacher this term. I'm sorry I didn't think." Kay said sadly. How could she have been so stupid.

"Well, I am really upset now at some boy in my house" Rex told Kay. " His name is Joshua Carter and he has turned on Gryffindor to help Evelyn and Destiny to get me" Rex explained to Kay. " The Magical Five' will take care of him" Rex said to Kay. "Well you are in shape to play Qudditch but you msy have to play against me honey" Rex said to Kay. "We will do good in our classes" Rex said to her.

Oliver looked skywards when she walked over to him and continued to rant. He sighed. “Blah, blah, blah.” He said, doing the action with his hand. “Are you quite done now woman?” Cos from where he was standing, there was still a prefect there and Oliver had promised all at home that he would be on his best behaviour this year.

So far? ...Not so good.

He watched her do the incantation with a simpering smile on his face. No more shouting – it wasn't Oliver's style. But he thought he could be forgiven given the circumstances of the fight.

No touchy – hahah. He could use this. “Ah, come on. Lighten up, luv.” He slung an arm around her shoulder and squeezed her. “I'm sure now that's it's all blown over we can look back at what happened and laugh about it.” He wrinkled his nose at her in the same way you would a baby as if to say. 'how cute you aaare' and gave her another squeeze for good measure. “Oh.. how funny it was when you rubbed potato in my hair!” He laughed sarcastically with his hand on his chest. “And then all that damn poking. Oh ho ho." He laughed simperingly and shook his head.

Snicker.

“So swish, swish, flick?” He questioned doing the action with his wand. “I think I can do that.” Course he could.. He did what Miranda did and cleaned up his clothes and hair then smiled at her – more genuinely this time. “Thank you.” he said, patting her on the shoulder like you would your best male bud.

Ay.. she wasn't all THAT bad.

Carter??? Was it the Carter she got the book for??? "How did you find that out?" Kay said looking around the room. "Thanks for thinking am in shape. and if we have to play each other. Well we might fight about it." kay said smiling at him. She pulled him closer and whisper in his ear. "But think of making up after." Kay said softly and kissing his neck.

"Oh, you are SO ANNOYING!" She made a face at him when finished mocking her with the hand. "What is that? What are you doing with your hand?" She looked at it like it made no sense, even though she totally knew what it was. She put on a more sweet voice...much to sweet. "No, I'm not done..." Wink. But she wouldn't say anything else. She wasn't done. Not at all. Hehehe. Oh, he'd better watch out. This castle was big and accidents happened. Whoa, easy now. Eh.

Luv!? Her eye might have twitched. And then he WAS TOUCHING HER! AGAIN! She stood perfectly still, concentrating more on her breathing than whatever he was saying right now. Yeah, she would laugh at how stupid he looked with that food on his face. Although...she would probably laugh at this whole thing too. Because she had never been in a food fight before. Heh.

He was squeezing her. SQUEEZING. HER. ! Breaaaaaaaaaaathe. She took his hand with her index finger and thumb, just like you would a dirty dish rag, stepped out of the embrace and let his hand drop. "Ha ha." She said as dully as she could with a mocking face. But for a veeeeeeeeeery short second, her face softened as she thought how silly the part with 'damn poking' sounded. She wondered if he had lots of tiny bruises all over his body now. Hehehe. "Hope you don't get nightmares about it."

Swish, swish, flick...something. "Yesss." She said, regaining her respectful smile. And...he did it. Her eyebrows twitched in a surprised way. He was a fast learner...unless he'd actually lied and had done this before. "Nice job." Oh! That was out of her mouth before she could stop herself. And she had been honest. Argh, her Huffie-ness. Her brown eyes looked up at the boy as he thanked her. He was joking right? "Yeah...sure." Noooo, don't get all nice with him now. He is EVIL and ANNOYING and TWITCHY!

Now that he had cleaned up her robes (she made extra sure her badge was shiny again), face and hair, it was time to get everything else cleaned aswell. "Well..." she started, looking at the floor and glancing at Oliver. "I'll go over here then...get this part cleaned up." Why was she explaining this, just go! Hopefully, when they were both done with their cleaning, they'd go their separate ways...back to their own house tables.

Reese looked at the tarantula to make sure it was still 4 feet away from her before looking back at Lawson. A large smile formed on her face when the Professor congratulated her on the badge. "Thanks, sir," she replied. She wasn't going to mention that she was still a little bit terrified that she would be a horrible Prefect. Though, as more people told her that she would do a outstanding job, it did make her feel a little bit better about everything. "I have something to give you later, Professor. I might just drop by your office sometime this week," she told him. She was referring to the amulet that he had given her last term to contact him if she saw Jake acting weirder than usual. Considering the fact it was a new term now, Reese figured that she wasn't going to need it anymore, so she might as well give it back to him.

She turned her attention back to the little girl and nodded. "I guess you can say it's cool," she commented on the girl's statement. It was all cool until you had to get in the middle of an argument just like the one she had to get into on the train. Thinking back on that, she suddenly realized that she still hadn't talked to that Rex guy. She took a glance towards the Gryffindor table, making a mental note to talk to head over there later. "Are you excited about being at Hogwarts?" She asked the girl. "I remember when I was 11, I was soooo excited about coming here."

Looking back at her brother, she stared at him for a moment as if she was looking to see if he was telling the truth about not doing a stunt like that ever again. "I sure do hope your right," she finally replied. She looked towards the table and picked up the cup that was sitting near the silver plate that was in front of her. "I sure do hope you Hufflepuffs don't mind me eating here," she said before taking a sip of the pumpkin juice that was inside the cup. If they minded, she could always just go back over to the Slytherin table. Though, she had someone to talk to over here. After hearing Jake pretty much say he loved her, she gave him a sweet little smile, and then took another sip of her pumpkin juice.

"So, do you know any of those new Professors up there?" She curiously asked as she waved her hand towards the staff table.

"Thanks!" Jenny said, struggling to remember her name as well. Oh! It came to her. "Thanks, Anastasia!" So Jenny walked to Anastasia and was very happy. "How're you?" Jenny asked.

"Oh," said Sam, feeling relieved he wasn't alone in being raised in the Muggle World. "Do you know much about this place? I never knew it existed until I got my letter."

"I knew about it, but thats all my mom told me about the Wizarding world. About Hogwarts and how I was going to come here." Emily said, and started helping herself to some food, her eyes devouring it all. Loudly, her stomach gave a muffled growl, and Emily stabbed it painfully to silence her tummy.

"Scipia" she replied, "Are you a first year?"

"Oh, well, it certainly seems like an interesting school."

Famished, Samuel turned from Emily to reach for some bread and accidentally knocked over the girl to his left's goblet. Thankfully it was empty.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to. Um, I'm Sam. You're called Sabrina, aren't you? I saw you get called up to the Sorting Hat." Suddenly, Samuel realized, he was surrounded by more girls than he'd ever met before. As nervous as he felt, it was a welcome realization.

Tyler caught his balance back and shook his head. "With behavior like that, I might go back to my own table. You'd probably won't see me for a while," he smirked and wagged his finger at her. Ty chuckled a bit more before finally sitting down on the very edge of the Huffie table. It was only for good fun, for him at least.

"Nice to meet you Scipia." she said and repeated her name "Scipia, that is unique I don't think I heard it before." she said smiling and she noded. "I am fine, I just need to make sure not to hit anything else with it, I don't think its broken, I am going to the nurse later if it starts hurting." she told her. "What year are you?" she asked her

Nunually's eyes widened and she felt horrible, she had tried to make things better but things were worse. She looked down. "I'm sorry." she said and bit her lip. She didn't want to say anything else that might upset him. She wanted to say that he at least stayed until he could, her real parents had abandoned her for whatever reasons. She just smiled at him and said. "Can I be your friend?" she asked "I never had a guy friend to be frank, I am kind of scared of boys but not you." she said gave him the please look.

"What does half blood mean?" she asked confused. As she listened she smiled "The only brave thing I have done is come here without knowing how it would be here." she said

"Aww..." Cadence said, pretending to pout... puppy dog face and all. "Don't leeeaaave, TyTy!" She sat down next to him... really close to him. Pretty much as close as she could sit to him without sitting on top of him. "Come on, you know you don't wanna leave. You know you think I'm pretty fantastic." she gave him a little smile, eyes twinkling.

Arya had skipped back over to her table to rejoin all those she left before. Picking up a yet another piece of pie she looked over to Reese."Yesssss, I've meet so many people in Diagon Alley and on the train. I can't wait to start classes. What's your favorite class?"This was a question she could ask forever, she loved hearing the older students talk about the classes. Its what she was looking forward to afterall.

"Half blood is basically referring to a person who has one parent a witch or wizard, and the other a muggle. You know what a muggle is right? My mom only taught me the basics. The bravest thing I did was shove a pickle up my nose on a dare, it was one of those really mini ones. I was actually surprised on how it fit up there." Emily said thoughtfully, and took a big forkful of mashed potatoes and shoveled it into her mouth.

Nunually looked at her and nodded. "So pureblood would be both parents being wizards." she asked and looked at the hat that was sitting over there still sorting kids. "I don't know my real parents so I did not know they were full until a couple of days ago when I received my letter." she said and nodded once more. "I know what muggles are, I learned it by reading my book, and dictionary." she said with a grin and when Emily told her about her brave moment her eyes widened. "Really wow, I thought it wasn't possible to do something like that." she said

Thalia finally had gotten enough bravery to go say hi to Emily. They were friends as much as she did hate her new house. She took the seat beside her and smiled. "Hey congrats on Hufflepuff," she smiled. "I landed myself in the worse house ever but besides that how are you? I see you've met some new friends." She gave a grin to the boy and girl with her. "I'm Thalia," she introduced herself to them.

"How come you dont like Slythern?" Emily asked as Thalia sat next to her. "It doesnt seem all that bad." she said as she turned her head and looked over at the Slythern table. "Besides, isnt your cousin also in Slythern?"

"Is that so?" Tyler smirked and stood up. He kept his famous smirk on his face, and slowly walked towards the Ravenclaw table. If Cadence wanted him to stay that bad, she'd stop him. Only if she wanted to.

"It is if you shove really hard, and you have some butter with you." Emily said, and noticed how weird that sounded.

"Oh believe me. It's awful. Yeah Anna's in it and I'm thankful for that but I'm also with the snobbiest kid ever. You know Parker, and this older boy named Aaron who calls me Teddy or Teddy Bear and it is so annoying," Thalia exclaimed, rolling her eyes. It was the worse house ever. Just let her mope and she was good.

As a new girl came by to talk to Emily. Nunually gave her a smile. As she introduced herself Nunually introduced herself as well. "Hello Thalia, I'm Nunually. Nice to meet you." she continued to smile and repeated her name once more time so she would remember. "Slytherin?" she asked and looked over there "The hat wanted to place me in Slytherin ..." she mumbled and looked down

"Butter, really?" she shiver, "I don't like how butter or margarine feels." she told her. "I don't think I would be able to do something like that.

As Tyler started to walk away, Cadence grabbed his hand. "Don't go, I was just teasing, TyTy." And then after a moment, she realized she was... holding his hand! Suddenly butterflies apparated into her stomach and her face blushed again. Trying to hide the moment, she looked up at him and smiled. "Please... stay?" But she didn't let go of his hand. He would have to signal that she should let go first. He was a very curious boy...
