" Yes Texas is nice and the state is big, mam" Rex told Ema."Well I knew you would taunt me along with Kay and Kita, mam" Rex said to Ema. " I will make you a deal if your team beats our team, whether I am on the team or not, I will eat green tea ice cream, mam " Rex explained to Ema. " The other part of the deal is if our team wins, you must eat something you do not like, mam" Rex finished his explanation to Ema.

"Thanks! I'm Emmy, by the way." Emmy took the girl's hand and shook it, grateful that at least someone was talking to her. "So, um, where are you from?" she asked, sitting down next to her.

Uh oh... Ema thought. She wasn't too eager to eat anything disgusting. "Hmm...alright. I'll eat something I think is gross if Gryffindor wins." she agreed, nodding. Oooh boy. Plus, where would she find green tea ice cream at Hogwarts?!

Ema smiled. "Nice to meet you Emmy." she said, letting her hand drop to the table again. "Oh, I'm from south east England. Hastings, to be exact...on the edge of it. Where are you from?" she asked, handing the girl the pitcher of pumpkind juice and passing a few bowls of food her way. "You aren't allergic to pumpkin, are you?" Hopefully this girl wasn't new to the wizarding world and she knew exactly what pumpkin juice was. Ema still felt guilty about the close pumpkin disaster with Nunually.

"No, I'm not allergic!" smiling, Emmy poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice before passing it back. "Thank you. I live near Manchester, actually." 'But you wouldn't think it from my accent!' she thought to herself. "So what's it like, Hastings, I mean?" She wished she could think of some more intelligent questions, but her mind just went blank whenever she spoke to older students. All the same, Emmy hoped she and Ema could be friends.

Kita laughed and turned to Kay when she asked about Quidditch and dessert. "Now? I don't mind."

I don't know. I quess i'm just going to have to be happy with the house I got. They say the hat is always right! I really hope I make some friends though. Do you know anyone here yet?

Ema sighed with relief. "Oh good. I offered a girl pumpkin juice earlier and she was really badly allergic to it, she broke out even when she touched the pitcher." she shuddered. She would have hated to be the cause of that situation. "Really? Cool. What's Manchester like? I think I've been there once or twice." Ema tilted her head and thought. "Well, Hastings is nice...I like it. It's outside of London a little ways. I'm on the edge of Hastings, by the water kind of. I live in a muggle neighborhood." she smiled, nodding. "So, what year are you in, Emmy?"

" Ok. it is a bet" Rex told Ema. " If our teams do not play each other, the bet is off" Rex said to Ema. "Easier for us to root for eac team" Rex told her.

"What you want to eat dessert or play Quidditch now?" Rex asked Kita. Rex then laughed. " You are nice to hang out with here" Rex said to Kita.

"Well, yes, actually." Samuel pointed to the two girls to his right. "That's Emily and that's Nunually. You three are the only people I've met so far. Honestly, I'm just glad I met someone."

Hum... He liked her? Art Koizumi kind of iked her? How odd.

But wait....

Ryan's eyes opened widely.
"What did you just say?" He had actually guess her name. He. Had. Guessed. Her. Name.
Oh boy... He was really dangerous.

Sabrina turned to Samuel's new friends and Introduced herself, then turned back to Samuel. "They are nice. I haven't met anyone but you three, but i'm getting my hopes up for the common room. I suppose i'll meet some people there, but i'm kind of just hoping I make a few really good friends. I don't really want to be in a groupie." She said, smiling at Samuel. " Do you think I could just call you Sam? If no, that's fine. I don't think that a nick-name would fit in for my name at all."

Kita laughed at her stupidity. "I thought Kay meant now. Sorry Kay," she said, "Thanks. You're nice to hang out with as well."

" kita, I like teasing people I like" Rex explained to her. " I think Kay meant eat desert " Rex laughed. "Quidditch can wait since it will be me against you, kay and Ema" Rex laughed again.

Kita rolled her eyes and shook her head. But then she started laughing. "Poor you. Ah well. At least you'll enjoy yourself," she said.

"Ooh, nasty!" Emmy shuddered slightly. "I'd hate to be that badly allergic to something -especially pumpkin juice! Manchester's okay, I suppose - the museums are good, but I don't actually go there much! Yeah, I live with Muggles, too - in actual fact,my whole family are Muggles, so I was really surprised when I got my letter!" Emmy took a gulp of pumpkin juice, then answered Ema's last question. "Hmm? Oh, I'm in my second year now. How about you?"

"Sure. Most people do. I can't wait to see the common room. I wonder if it's anything like this Great Hall. That'd be brilliant, wouldn't it?"

Art smiled at her sweetly and gave a light laugh. "See? You are even prettier when you aren't angry with me." She had paused and her eyes had widened. He knew that had guessed right, just by her reaction. He was quite pleased with himself, to say the least. Third time is a charm indeed. To him it seemed to fit her perfectly, she looked like a little princess. "I said that I like you Ryan." he smiled warmly. He felt like the cat that ate the canary, now he was thinking of the best way to claim that kiss.

" Yes poor , poor me against three lovely girls, mam " Rex said to Kita. "Well I really will enjoy myself playing Quidditch against the three of you, mam" Rex told Kita.

All those compliments bothered the young model, not because of it's content but because of mind behind them. It was completely different to have a phtographer telling her she was pretty and that she looked awesome; she was used to it. But when the person telling her those nice things was Art Koizumi, she had to be suspicious.
"Nice. Good for you. Thanks. I guess." she replied, avoiding his eyes, afraid. She placed her weight from one leg to another and she kept on doing it, awaiting. "So... What happens now?"

"Oh yes. It's girls versus boy right? That'll be so much fun," Kita said. She laughed before adding, "Yeah. One thing i can guarantee is that you'll have fun."

" Oh fun I will have " Rex laughed. "Come to the Gryffindor table and meet some of my friends.

He noticed her avoiding his gaze and frowned. He wasn't certain that she would appreciate being overheard, so he switched back to Gaelic. "Really? Because you don't seem to thrilled about it." he said with a soft frown. " Why are you avoiding my eyes Lady Silver?" he implored. He thought that maybe referring to her by the nickname he gave her might make her more comfortable. He was very disappointed that she seemed to show such aversion to his gaze. "Well , what was suppose to happen was my reward for answering properly. I assume that you don't wish me to claim it in the middle of the Great Hall though. I would not disrespect you by just claiming it here." he stated calmly with a small smile of triumph. "And I still owe you your dues for two incorrect guesses, which I will gladly handle first." he winked, reminding her of their deal."So, shall we take this elsewhere?" he smiled. Art was skilled and cunning, but he wasn't a cheater if he made a deal. As long as he agreed with set rules, he wouldn't break them, otherwise he claimed all is fair and rules are meant to be broken.

Ryan secretly thanked to the gods that Art had switched back to Gaelic, for the first time they had set a foot in Hogwarts. She raised her head to level up her eyes to his.
"It's not that." she responded in that beautiful ancient language, an heritage they both shared. "I mean... it is and it is not. I'm just... notveryusedtotheesestuffs." she said, stuttering while she rushed the last bit, wondering if he would understand.

Lady Silver. Again.
"I wasn't avoiding your eyes." she said, doing it again. Yes, despite everything she had learned and also because of her dazzling looks, Ryan was terribly shy. Boys made her uncomfortable, even though they sometimes had quite interesting ideas.

She couldn't keep her hands quiet. He made her nervous that the mention to his reward only made her even more embarassed.
"YOu mean... the kiss?" she asked in a very low whisper. Dues? the blond girl frowned, confused. "What dues?" she asked, reviewing their previous conversation.

What was the bet about again?

Art watched as she finally made eye contact with him. Her limpid pools of blue light met his intense and defined blue/gray orbs. His eyes mostly shone intense blue, especially when he was happy, they had a gray tone however , mostly when he felt quiet or sad. He gathered that she wasn't used to this kind of thing, or at least, he thought that is what she said. "You are unaccustomed to dealing with men in this manner ,do you mean ? So..it isn't just me?" he asked curiously.

He raised an eyebrow when she said that she wasn't avoiding his eyes.....while she avoided his eyes. He sighed and chuckled lightly.

Art nodded and smiled when she asked if he meant the kiss. Oh yes, I am not letting you out of that one. He thought with a smile. When she asked what he meant by dues he grinned. "You know, you are lucky that I am an honest deal keeper." he said with a small chuckle. "Our agreement for me guessing your real name was; That for every time I guess wrong, you get to punish or dare me as you see fit for the incorrect answer. I owe you two, but when I guessed it right I get to kiss you as I deem fit. I will not embarrass you and claim it in the middle of the Great Hall though. I also believe that since I guessed incorrectly first, you should be able to claim your dues first." he explained with a smile.

He kept to Gaelic as he despised being eavesdropped upon.

Avery sat down alone and looked around. She didn;t know very many peope here.

Her skin was ivory and her eyes were hazel. She wore smokey eye shadow and her lips were ruby red. In her mouth she wore fake vampire fangs that you stuck to your canines. She didn't know why she wore them, she just liked to. Avery's hair was pitch black with a few extentions. She had a petite and elegant frame and she was around 5 feet tall. A bit short for a sixteen year old girl.
