Oh yes, he was good. Especially because he was making her giggle. Epic win on his part. It was good watching her watch him, even if it was out of his peripheral vision.
He couldn't help but laugh a bit at her statement about pulling away. "So what you're saying is that if I was sick, you wouldn't take care of meee?" he asked, pouting slightly. "If you were sick I'd take care of you." Yeah, he would. Even risk the chance of getting sick himself, but still. He'd do it.
Aha, the cupcakes. Yaaaay! He picked one up and tapped Sylvia's as well. "Cheers," he said with her. As he went to take a bite, he had an idea. Xander's hand may have slipped a bit, while he watched where Sylvia's cupcake was. He nudged it a little bit, so that the frosting would get on the tip of her nose.
"OH I am SO sorry!" he said. "Here, let me fix that." So he put some frosting on his nose as well.
Oh. Sylvia hadn't thought about that. "Well, I would wear that ... thing that doctors wear over their mouth and noses but, yes, I would look after you ofcourse." She laughed nervously. She felt a little mean saying she'd stay well away and not look after him, even if he would look after her, which was anice surprise anyway. "Thankyou, I'm very grateful. But, fingers crossed I don't get ill, EVER." Sylvia smiled.
Enough about illness, cupcakes!
Sylvia gasped that some frosting had decided to run her perfectly made up nose by puttig bits of purple on it. Realizing it was Xander's fault, she burst out laughing when he did it to himself. "I was meant to do it!" She grinned and put a bit more on his nose. "Perfect."

o____O More icing?!
"Wow, really?" he said, dropping his arm from around her. "I think you need some war paint..."
Taking his finger and dipping it in the icing, he put his finger in front of her face, right under her eyes. Hmm, it would be kind of interesting to see her like that. After all, she always looked so perfect. He wanted to see her not looking absolutely perfect one day.
"Eh? What do you think?" he said, laughing. Of course he wasn't going to do it, but he wanted to make her think he would.
So it seemed Adrienne'd managed to avoid Miles and Fia asking her to elaborate on her summer, what with the two of them having gone up to greet the professors, and Phoebus still hadn't appeared at the table so she still didn't know if he was avoiding her. And, as she looked around, she happened to see Livvy wave at, she presumed, her and Miles. Which was funny since she knew he wasn't paying attention, and she hadn't thought Livvy would be so apt to greet her after the weirdness of last term. But she wasn't going to be rude. "Hey Livvy," she said, waving back with a smile, before turning to the staff table as the man who was apparently the new headmaster stood up to make his speech. Hmmm, short and to the point, she thought, as food appeared on the table.
Leaning over to serve herself some chicken, she tucked her booted feet underneath the bench. Then, after pouring herself some pumpkin juice, she sat back and started idly listening to conversations around her. Just for amusement, since no one was directly talking to her at the moment. But then she heard Cela say something about not knowing who the new captain was, and realized it had to be connected to someone asking. Probably the odd boy she was talking to,since everyone else seemed newer. Looking over at the blonde with a smile, she leaned over momentarily. "Actually, I'm the new captain," she said, before blinking a little. "Willow had to approve of who replaced her?," she asked then, slightly shocked if it was true. Maybe Willow hadn't thought she was as useless as she thought she had. She'd figured Professor Vindictus had had to have seen something in her, but it had never occurred to her that anyone else had been involved in the decision.
Ian had already lost the ability of becoming surprised at the sight of yet another girl. Really, he had already come to terms with the fact that males at Hogwarts were just ... in extinction. And girls grew in trees.
And trees had to also be OKAY with Quidditch decisions.
....
See? Quidditch captains were lunatics. "A tree needs to approve the new Quidditch captain! Coooool." Ian sounded particularly cheerful and even cracked a smile.
If you can't fight the lunatic enemy, join them.

She ate some more mashed potato and something made a clicky noise in her head. "You look like Colby McKensie."
Cela didn't even notice the potato theft, even with all of the boy's yelling. She was far too busy eating her own potatoes and alternating that with bits of celery.
"He did?" Kellen? Was that one? Cela looked at the pyromaniacky one and smiled. "But now you are here and that is a good thing. Did anyone die? Were they in your house? We've had a magical flood but no fire."
Missed the point completely again.
Cela looked up as she heard Adrienne address them, her expression thoughtful.
"Oh."
She paused.
"Congratulations! Good luck with tryouts and stuff. I'll be in the stands cheering the team on of course!"
Already having shoved away the thought of Cela having a badge he might possibly want, Ian nodded enthusiastically as she spoke. "I have broken a several bones, too." His tone was real conversational, as if he were used to getting hurt - which was exactly the case. "I even have a metal plaque in the back of my head 'cos I fell off an elephant when I was five."
Fun times.
Oh.
He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Uhhhh." Colby and his attempts to be social and having friends was getting HIM in trouble. Great. Selfish Colby. "You know him?" Ian was not confirming being related to his brother.

And then she heard something very interesting. Cocking her head, Allison perked her ears and listened as CMP iColby described his brother. To her amazement he tripped on his brother's name. Allison's eyes widened as she looked into the possibility that CMP iColby's brother was either named similarly to CMP iColby or was simply just as odd as his brother and had the ill fate of carrying a name with the beginning letters.
What Allison also discovered was that CMP iColby...was anything but modest. Rolling her eyes Allison ignored CMP iColby for a moment to turn her attention to Cela.
SPOILER!!: Adrienne & Cela's post
Before admiring more of Cela Allison noticed the girl who spoke. She was taller than Allison--most people were, had beautiful dark hair and stunning blue eyes. Allison inwardly sighed, Ravenclaw had all the cool people.
Listening she gripped the edge of her seat and got a rush of adrenaline. If she tried out for Quidditch, which was a possibility seeing as she had already stupidly blabbed to Cela--her hero, about it, this was the person to look at. Looking at the girl Allison perked up and gave the cutest smile in store, she really didn't know she was giving it, "Hallo. You are really our Quidditch captain?" With a small gleam in her eyes, of excitement, Allison sat up and offered her hand, "I'm Allison Scott."
Before her daydreaming of awesome people continued Cela said something that had interested Allison beyond belief.
"Colby McKensie?" Allison's stare bore into CMP iColby. She knew it. The boy had lied about his name. How could he remind Cela, the nice girl who had offered Allison advice on ice cream AND was totally her hero AND favorite Ravenclaw so far in Hogwarts, of a Colby McKensie when he was Colby? There was a caged cat in there, and she was going to release it.
"I thought your name was Colby. But of course it's not, you liiiiiiiiiiied." Allison let the last word roll off her tongue. Smirking Allison shook her finger, "That's an awful thing to do. What sort of example are you setting up for me?"
Ian stared at Allison, suddenly feeling like hitting his head against the table again.
"And you are a thief," He finally grumbled. "And Little pest." Just to make sure she'd keep her hands off his plate, Ian quickly finish what was left on his plate.

SPOILER!!: Ian
As if it wasn't obvious that Icoguy had lied about his name, more proof was right here. But it didn't particularly bother him. Merlin, Dumbledore and all the rest knew Chaucer had changed his name every day of the week a few years ago, relabeling all his things and refusing to respond to any name except the one he now believed to be his own. Which could be tricky when he hadn't told Kellen what it was beforehand, but it had always been fun to puzzle it out.
As far as broken bones went he wasn't particularly squeamish, but broomsticks... there was nothing to hold on to! And what was with Allison stealing off of Icoguy's plate?
Kellen raised an eyebrow at her, a smirk playing around his mouth as he commented, "Wow Allison, for thinking he's a weirdo you sure don't mind flirting with him. Eating off his plate like that? You might as well declare yourselves a couple now."
....
Shaggy head.
Meets.
Ravenclaw Table.
Ian made sure to repeat that motion several times.
Adrienne. Hmm. There hadn't been much of an interaction there. Maybe it should change..........?
Livvy leaned over across the table, considering the group of people weren't exactly far away from her. Close enough to be within talking distance, that's for sure. And. And. QUIDDITCH CAPTAIN?! Oh gooddddyyy!!!! She hadn't know that! Then again... the two girls weren't exactly close. So... oh well. She got the position! Even though Livvy, herself, had been totally pegging for that position... she was quite satisfied with the Head Girl position. Large shiny badge.
"Adrienne! You're the Quidditch Captain?! Congratulations!" she exclaimed gently and grinned happily. With Adrienne, who was a mighty fine player, they would be SURE to win this term.
And then she noticed Cela and some neeewwww students. "Hey Cela. Who's your friends?" Livvy asked, grinning around. Head Girl should know people right? RIGHT.
Finalizing with the head-butting thing of his that seemed to have become a necessity whenever Allison What's-Her-Surname was around, Ian rested his forehead on the table and closed his eyes.
He didn't have to look up to know that yet another female had joined him.
"Hey, Kellen - ever notice that there are a whole bunch of girls here? like a lot. Lots of estrogen and ... stuff." Ian obviously didn't bother to keep his voice down because he didn't believe he'd said anything wrong. As a matter of fact, his tone was quite calm, all things considered.

Maybe he was beginning to lose his mind, too.
Kellen snorted as the boy resumed his head-to-table action. A part of him wondered what it would sound like if the metal plate that was apparently in that cranium connected with the wood.
When he made his comment about the estrogen, Kellen put a hand on the table and leaned under it looking for the boy's face, "I have noticed that, actually. Why do you think that is?"
He supposed it must look weird, talking underneath a table. He glanced down the underside and noticed a couple of crusty candies stuck to the wood. There was a wad of gum further down that looked relatively fresh, and he wrinkled his nose, "Well that's not particularly attractive, is it?"

At first Ian wondered where on earth had Kellen run off to, then thought that if the other boy had ran away was something he could hardly blame him off, and then at last, he realized that Kellen had gone under the table.
Straightening up and scratching his head, Ian forgot his manners and the other people he was having a 'conversation' with, and ducked under the table. "I reckon they are trying to make us their servants. Women, y'know, the whole bunch have this thing that they feel like BOSSING everyone around." Ian made a face because he knew that from experience. He had a mum, three sisters, and an unbelievable large pack of female cousins.
They were all bossy and Ian was SURE they thought of him as their own little slave. With not one look of disgust, Ian's index finger poked the gum. "Hey, Allison," Ian emerged from under the table and grinned wickedly at the girl, "Want some gum? There's a reaaaaal fresh one down there. Wouldn't want it to go to waste." See? He wasn't EXCLUDING people from his conversation with Kellen. Mum would be proud.
Deciding it was best to remove his clumsy limbs from knocking any more heads at his table, and so as to vacate the seat so another student less likely to cause a "humpty-dumpty" could occupy it, Sabel wandered through the hall. He got about five feet before his double-left-feet returned to him as he tripped, ran into, or otherwise collided with a student looking under their table. He would have thought it a strange activity, had he not been so preoccupied with saving his face from hard tile.

"I don't doubt that at all." Kellen nodded. He has his own sisters at home, and his aunt was every bit as domineering as what the boy was describing. He decided he couldn't keep calling this guy fake names forever, and was about to ask what his real name was when the boy sat up and offered the gum to Allison. It was so fantastically gross that he snickered.

And then something hit him from behind. His shoulder wrenched at an awkward angle, but all his attention was focused on keeping the sticky table-candies from his hair. Success.
He sat up and rubbed his shoulder, glaring at whoever tackled him, but then grinned. Of course.
"Dakest. I really should have known." He scooted over on the bench and let Sabel take the spot between him and Allison, "Sit, eat. Are you in Ravenclaw then?"

Sabel wasn't sure if he should be embarrassed or infuriated with himself, or a combination of the two as his eyes snapped up to the student glaring at him. With an internal groan and the feeling of heat running to his cheeks as he realized who it was he had crashed into, he decided embarrassment was logical.
Taking heed to get to his feet without another incident, Sabel winced at Kellen's words. "I do have a habit of running into you don't I?" He glanced at the seat his friend offered before slipping into it. "No...Gryffindor." Shifting on the bench he gave the girl beside him an embarrassed smile. "Hi...sorry...err...Sabel Dakest..." He found the words jumbling out without much sense and as tied up as his feet felt on flat ground.
Kellen rolled his eyes; this was never, ever going to leave, was it? This was apparently what happened when you joked about fire with a Ravenclaw; you got a snowball.

SPOILER!!: Celandine
An out! He'd take it!
"No, no one died. No one was even there, actually; it was after OWLs and NEWTs were graded. Our Head Boy failed all his NEWTs and burned the school down in a blaze. I was just commenting to Allison that stone walls," he tipped his head to the walls of Hogwarts, "are clearly better than wooden ones for that reason."
"So, a magical flood? What happened there?"
He tried not to think of how completely ashamed Chaucer would be with him right now. He'd almost spat the story from his mouth to be rid of it, instead of weaving it into a graceful show of tragedy and lost love. Then again, he was so used to Chaucer being here that he'd almost expected the boy to materialize simply to deliver a monologue and then poof away back to the Slytherin table.
SPOILER!!: Allison
That was their Quidditch captain? Well, he'd look forward to cheering their team on from the safety of the stands. Even though he didn't like Quidditch. But that was like announcing you detest sugar while standing in a candy store surrounded by children going through a post-Halloween candy withdrawal. Do you say it? No.
And it looked like Allison was too busy in her continued torment of Icoguy to try insisting again that Kellen was a pyromaniac. Good.
Instead he watched the faces at the staff table, and eventually turned back to Celandine; who would know better than a prefect, right? "Is it just me, or do some of our teachers really not like each other?"

Owain laughed when the guy pointed out Allison's flirting and worked up the courage to speak after hearing the explanation for the fire. "How could a head boy fail his exams?"
OOC:apologies not having any quotes to reference my characters ramblings - my computer isn't working properly at the moment.
Allison choked on her laugh at gasped for air. (She really wheezed for air. Making me type it as if it were different, tut tut.) Fanning herself she look across at Lying Crazy iColby--because everyone knew he was no longer mysterious or possibly iColby, and then with pain back at Kellen.
"That's a low blow," Allison mumbled.
Still trying to catch her breath she heard Kellen's story and shook her head. So he wasn't a pyromaniac, that meant he didn't burn down his school, that also meant that Allison had no reason to cower from him or think he was crazy, and that also meant that her reason of disliking him vanished. And she refused to like him at all costs. Had he not insulted her with the awful suggestion that she declare herself Lying Crazy iColby's girlfriend?

He certainly spent a lot of time walking around and reminding everyone of his position. That school was more concerned with etiquette and deportment anyway."
Had he introduced himself? He'd given the boy a wave and a 'hi', that he remembered, but just to be safe he added, "I'm Kellen. Kellen Stern. You are?"
If there wasn't food on the table he would have held his hand out for a shake; as it was he kept it holding his fork. The last thing he wanted was to drag a sleeve through gravy.
Allison's jaw dropped. Just where exactly did Kellen go to school? The campus institution or whatever, sounded like a pompous school filled with fools. And yes, Allison was no excluding Kellen.

Allison chuckled despite the fact that she was just as embarrassed and annoyed as Lying Crazy iColby. However she did love the fact that he was also bothered and had called her a thief. Seriously the name calling was making Allison's ex-non-existent evil side's ego big.

Eyes widening and gag reflex reacting, Allison turned a light shade of green. One thing the girl hated more than anything were germs. Although the older boy was slow, for the lack of a better word like dim-witted, stupid, idiotic, or a...let's stop there--his common sense seemed to work perfectly. Unless he was just lucky that the gum had been underneath the table.
Managing her courage which came from her pride, Allison's etiquette pored of her pores and she sniffed, "If I were you I'd make that disappear, wouldn't want it to end up in your scruffy hair, now would you?"

That's when a boy crashed into Kellen and was invited to sit next to him. Which to her good grace was between Kellen and herself. And the movement of things changed once again.
Nia nodded, realising from Anya's reply that she'd bomdarded her with questions. Biting her lip, Nia scrunched her nose almost apologetically. She didn't want to scare the new Ravenclaw...just was in a mood for conversation. "I've heard of it," Nia said with a smile as the girl tried to explain the book to her. "Which one? I've got a collection of those myself. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was very clever with all those red herrings and clues. So imaginative, and yet so realistic in many ways." She winked, curling a strand of hair round her finger. "You read many of them?"
As Anya asked her a question, Nia tilted her head thoughtfully. "I guess part of how you'll find it depends on your background." She shook back the curl she'd been fiddling with. "It's a bit like embarking on an adventure, with learning new things, meeting new people, even getting used to not being at home. At times its hard work, with some of the homework the Professors give, it can test your nerves and make you face your fears..." At that she thought of the dementor she had to face as part of one of her DADA exams. Scary stuff, she still hadn't totally got over it. "But overall, I love it here - had great fun, and met some awesome people." She looked enthusiasic. "Does that help?" She raised a questioning eyebrow. "Feel free to fire away with any more questions..."
She had heard of it AND knew enough to actually hold a conversation on in? That was more than Anya could say for other people she knew...
"I like the longer novel-type stories compared to the shot stories. I think that the long ones have more of a mystery to them and i like watching the plot unfold...so The sign of four,and A study in Scarlet i really like. One can get more into the story, if you know what i mean... But the short stories are pretty interesting too. This book" she said patting her hand on it, "is a collection of those two stories and about 15 shorter ones..."
Listening to Nia tell her about Hogwarts Anya couldn't help bet get excited. She was so eager to hake her own memories here and learn as much as she could!
"Yeah it does" Anya replied. She wasn't smiling, but the look on her face was one of wonder.
"I hope this will be a good year!"
Katherine ran over to her house table and took a seat. She smiled to herself, a Ravenclaw her! Would've thought! Still...Katherine felt her happiness slip away...Pierre would be happy...wouldn't he? Sighing she served herself some juice and began to sip on it. Well this house looks ok I guess she thought reminding herself over and over of who she was.

"That's a low blow," Allison mumbled.
Still trying to catch her breath she heard Kellen's story and shook her head. So he wasn't a pyromaniac, that meant he didn't burn down his school, that also meant that Allison had no reason to cower from him or think he was crazy, and that also meant that her reason of disliking him vanished. And she refused to like him at all costs. Had he not insulted her with the awful suggestion that she declare herself Lying Crazy iColby's girlfriend?
Allison's jaw dropped. Just where exactly did Kellen go to school? The campus institution or whatever, sounded like a pompous school filled with fools. And yes, Allison was no excluding Kellen.
Allison chuckled despite the fact that she was just as embarrassed and annoyed as Lying Crazy iColby. However she did love the fact that he was also bothered and had called her a thief. Seriously the name calling was making Allison's ex-non-existent evil side's ego big.
SPOILER!!: Kellen & LC iColby
Eyes widening and gag reflex reacting, Allison turned a light shade of green. One thing the girl hated more than anything were germs. Although the older boy was slow, for the lack of a better word like dim-witted, stupid, idiotic, or a...let's stop there--his common sense seemed to work perfectly. Unless he was just lucky that the gum had been underneath the table.
Managing her courage which came from her pride, Allison's etiquette pored of her pores and she sniffed, "If I were you I'd make that disappear, wouldn't want it to end up in your scruffy hair, now would you?"
That's when a boy crashed into Kellen and was invited to sit next to him. Which to her good grace was between Kellen and herself. And the movement of things changed once again.
Arya skipped over to the Ravenclaw table and sweezed herself between Allison and another boy. Without asking she swiped some food from Allison's plate. Before she ate she gave her friend a goofy grin."Hey Allie! Whatca doin?" Eating her food she hoped that Allison didn't mind the nickname she had just given her. Allison was such a mouthfull.

Katherine ran over to her house table and took a seat. She smiled to herself, a Ravenclaw her! Would've thought! Still...Katherine felt her happiness slip away...Pierre would be happy...wouldn't he? Sighing she served herself some juice and began to sip on it. Well this house looks ok I guess she thought reminding herself over and over of who she was.
Ellie noticed an excited First year taking a seat at the Ravenclaw table. "Welcome to the house!" she said, mouth full of mashed potatoes. "I'm Ellie, second year." She sympathized with the newly sorted students, after all, just one year ago that had been her.
Ellie was very direct and wasn't at all well mannered. The rough farm girl had grown up knowing how to handle crops and animals, not so much people. "So, you muggleborn?" she asked. Ellie came from a very wizard family, far away from muggles. She found the muggle borns at Hogwarts the most interesting people around.
"Wow, really?" he said, dropping his arm from around her. "I think you need some war paint..."
Taking his finger and dipping it in the icing, he put his finger in front of her face, right under her eyes. Hmm, it would be kind of interesting to see her like that. After all, she always looked so perfect. He wanted to see her not looking absolutely perfect one day.
"Eh? What do you think?" he said, laughing. Of course he wasn't going to do it, but he wanted to make her think he would.
"Go on, if you want to. I'd just look cool." Sylvia smiled. No, she wouldn't look silly at all. Hehe. Sylvia leaned closer to him so he could draw on her face, she would do it to him next.
"Why do I need war makeup anyway? Are we going into battle?" Sylvia snickered, she didn't think purple icing would camoflauge her.

Becca walked over to the familiar wooden table, that she had sat at for all these years. It was the same as ever. The feast would start off with the Sorting of the firsties and then once it was over, the speech would be made. The students and teachers would eat and the day would be finished with another speech, just as it had over the past three years of Becca's residing here. She took a seat next to her fellow housemates and then lifted her goblet of pumpkin juice and took a sip. Boy, was it good to be back!
Katherine ran over to her house table and took a seat. She smiled to herself, a Ravenclaw her! Would've thought! Still...Katherine felt her happiness slip away...Pierre would be happy...wouldn't he? Sighing she served herself some juice and began to sip on it. Well this house looks ok I guess she thought reminding herself over and over of who she was.
Nina saw the newcomer sit down at the table. She looked about her age. "Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Nina." she called. She hopes this will be another new friend.
"Go on, if you want to. I'd just look cool." Sylvia smiled. No, she wouldn't look silly at all. Hehe. Sylvia leaned closer to him so he could draw on her face, she would do it to him next.
"Why do I need war makeup anyway? Are we going into battle?" Sylvia snickered, she didn't think purple icing would camoflauge her.
Gigglesnicker. Well, alright.
Xander ran his finger along her face, trying to figure out the next step of his plan. It would only be time until he hoped none of the Prefects would notice what he was doing. Eh, it wouldn't really matter. He wasn't doing anything bad, just silly.
"We can battle after the feeeast," he said. "Room of Requirement. Pillow fiiight!" He added the last part in a loud and excited whisper. Teehee!

Katherine blinked. She wasn't really sued to people though she smiled "I'm Katherine" she said now serving her self some potatoes. "Actually I'm a half-blood" said Katherine somberly "um....your parents were both Ravenclaws?" she asked trying to get some reassurance. "sorry" she immediately apologized "I'm just really nervous.."
Sabel wasn't sure if he should be embarrassed or infuriated with himself, or a combination of the two as his eyes snapped up to the student glaring at him. With an internal groan and the feeling of heat running to his cheeks as he realized who it was he had crashed into, he decided embarrassment was logical.
Taking heed to get to his feet without another incident, Sabel winced at Kellen's words. "I do have a habit of running into you don't I?" He glanced at the seat his friend offered before slipping into it. "No...Gryffindor." Shifting on the bench he gave the girl beside him an embarrassed smile. "Hi...sorry...err...Sabel Dakest..." He found the words jumbling out without much sense and as tied up as his feet felt on flat ground.
Allison decided to like the boy on the spot. He wasn't weird or goofy like Lying Crazy iColby, or odd and mean Kellen, he was embarrassed...and had two left feet?
Returning the smile, only hers was with sweetness Allison stated, "No problemo. Nice to meet you Sabel. I'm Allison Scott."
She wondered how on earth such a boy knew such a boy like Kellen. And she was about to ask when...

"Arya! I saw you my messages. Did you have any problems at the Hufflepuff table?" Allison didn't mind the nickname at all, in fact had never been given one. Thus the idea of having one was a heart-warming one.
Drinking pumpkin juice Allison turned quickly to see if Anastasia had company. Seeing as she did she returned her attention to Arya, not forgetting that Cela, Nina, LC iColby, Kellen and the new boy Sabel were still around having their own conversations.
Allison had ears everywhere and she could still hear every word.

Ellie gave the girl a reassuring smile. "Nice to meetcha, Katherine," she said, taking a sip of pumpkin juice. She savored the wonderful cooking. Though her mother was a fair cook, nothing compared to the work the house elves produced.
"Me parents were both Hufflepuff. Fact, I was sure I'd be a Badger. Surprise!" she laughed, holding out her navy and bronze tie. She had settled into her House quite well, though she was anxious about the placement as well. "So which of yer parents are magical?" she inquired, her country accent making an appearance.
"Don't be worried, we all were in yer position. I was a bundle o' nerves last year. You'll settle in," she nodded to Katherine, then returned to piling food onto her plate.

Sabel gave Allison a small smile, glad he hadn't embarrassed himself out of conversation. "It's nice to meet you too, Allison Scott."
He reasoned perhaps inquiring as to what year she was in would be effective in the goal of hiding the topic of his clumsiness under the table - much in the same manner Kellen had been ducked under it - and prayed that such an avodiance act wouldn't cause any further incidents.

Blinking, Sabel let himself be shuffled over as another girl squished between him and Allsion. He was about to appologize to Kellen for the sudden tight space, when his eyes caught the girl snatching food from Allison's plate. He blinked, surprised there was "no please" or "thank you". Realizing he was gaping, Sabel snapped his mouth shut with an audiable click and reminded himself of how she had introduced herself to Allison; they sounded like friends. He just prayed she hadn't seen his open-mouthed stare.

"My father was a pureblood, well is he kinda kicked me out after mum died" said Katherine after swallowing down some potatoes she watched the girl show her the tie it made her smile. Everyone went through the nerves "He was a Slytherin my mother a muggle-born ended up in Hufflepuff" added Katherine drinking some juice "but I now live with my godfather...he was a Gryffindor. He thought I'd be a lion too...but here I am!"

"Nope, its great over there. I told about Jake's spider Charlie, and meeting Professor Lawson. Just wanted to see what you were doin. Didn't know if I could come over but Jake said it was allowed, he's really nice." Swinging her feet she wished she had brought over her drink. "Don't you just love this cealing..."Arya looked up from Allison to the ceiling."Its sooooo pretty."

Arya looked up at the ceiling in absolute amazement. She loved looking at the stars when she was camping, the sight never grew old to her young eyes. picking up a chocolate chip cookie she was about to eat when she noticed a pair of green eyes staring at her. Lowering the cookie from her mouth she gave the boy a warm smile."Hey I'm Arya."

Sylvia sincerely hoped that Xander had clean fingers as he was running them along her face. She had only just finished her make up! Anyway, that wasn't her main priority though, that was ...
XANDER WAS TOUCHING HER FACE!
Breaath. She was hoping no one was watching, that would be weird, especially as they had icing on their faces. "It's a done deal." Though she felt slightly funny when he said the room of requirement. "Though I'm not sure that purple icing would be good on your face as it's quite eye-catching." She giggled.
