He was used to people being shocked at the number of siblings he had. "Yep and my little brothers are twins, and I told you I have a twin brother. JoJo." He loved having so many brothers and sisters. He really hoped his mom had more kids. Oh she thought they were poor. That was a feeling Diggy rarely got to feel. "Um well no we have a lot of money. So we don't have to give our parents any. My mom is like beyond loaded." It was true and though Diggy didn't spend money like his sister Paris did he liked having money. "But my parents still have jobs. They both work at the Daily Prophet, but my dad is totally obsessed with dragons. We got to keep a hatchling once, but it burned down the pool house. Mom was really upset about that." It was really funny at the time. He scratched his head. "Well um I was burping blue bubbles for a few days," he admitted. "Nothing permanent so far, and that's good. I think I'm gonna get my sister Paris to help me with some of my experiments. Shes a great potioneer. But we can both test out my stuff." At least if he sprouted feathers someone else would be walking around with feathers too.

He did look down on her and that strangely felt good. "In a few years you're gonna be taller than me though," he pointed out.

He had no idea where Eastaboga was, but he knew where Alabama was. Um...he thought so anyways. "So how are you liking England?" he asked. Diggy had never lived in the States, though he visited there plenty of time.

"No, no, no, you misunderstood me," Selena giggled as she waved her hands. She hadn't meant to imply that they were poor. "But still, the parents are always rewarded," Selena smiled. Except her parents weren't. Dragons. "Daily Prophet and Dragons?" Selena smiled. "I have a pet dragon, though... I'm not supposed to..." Selena said a bit sheepishly. Her dragon was in the forest near her home. Her mother didn't know she had a pet dragon. It was a secret between Selena and her stepfather. "Hahaha, I just hope I don't get turned into an animal by mistake," Selena grinned, "that would be odd," Selena said. Or if she suddenly grew horns... that would be bad. Or if she turned green, that wouldn't be bad. What if she lost her hair... that would be definitely bad. She liked her hair. "Must be nice to have your sister help you out with your experiments, you not only have someone to help you carry out on the experiment, but you'll also have someone's input on it," Selena said.

Selena tried to visualize herself in a few years. Nope. In her mind, Diggy was always going to be taller. "I don't think I'm going to be much taller than you," Selena admitted, "Maybe... 5'5" by 7th year if I'm lucky," Selena said as she scratched the back of her head. She was going to be short for life, it was pretty much decided.

“ I like it.” It’s a lot different. It rains more here but I like the rain.”
“ I hope I’m really tall!! Like my dad…He’s like” Logan stretched on to his tiptoes and pointed up towards the sky since he couldn’t quite accurately reach to show precisely how tall Adam Breske was. “ This tall I bet or bigger.”

sammy sat there for a few minutes stunned with what had happened today she had gone from happy to crying to extreme happiness to sad to this "what the...? she mumbled to her self before going back to the common room with her bag and roses from Jay in hand

Selena giggled. "That's really tall, you probably will, and you'll both be a giant compared to me," Selena grinned. She had accepted the fact that she was going to be short for life.

Olivia glared at the girl."Don't talk to me like I am a kid, you prissy little brat."Olivia said, and rolled her eyes as she walked off."And I heard you at the Wishing Fountain..."she said as she walked away. She didn't want to deal with this girl.

"All I said was that you disliked me for a dumb reason. Because I have a boyfriend. There's no reason to hate me because you like my boyfriend. So go take a chill pill, darlin'!" she snapped at the girl. She just wanted to pull that girl down by her pink ponytail and wrestle like they did in Alabama. But she was civil, civil... a civil person. She walked opposite the girl in a huff.

Diggy looked at her with renewed interest. "You have a pet dragon?" he almost asked in disbelief. But she had no reason to lie to him. "What sort of dragon is in and how are you keeping it a secret?" His dad had to put up all sorts of spells and charms to keep their dragon secret. Well just from muggles, but he had permission to take the egg from the reserve just till it hatched.

he shook his head chuckling at her fear. "Well I haven't managed to get any transfigurations into my candies, but that will be something I put into some of the eventually." That would be really cool to turn into a cat or a owl for a few minutes. He would have to go back to the library and look up some stuff. See what he could do. It would really be cool, "Yeah Paris is real cool when you ask her for help. She loves that kinda stuff. My dad built her a lab for like her 8th birthday I think. She's always chasing me out of there." he said with a smile remembering some of the times she had chased him. Especially the time she broke her heel, though that reducto spell she threw at him wasn't as cool. "JoJo has a lab too but its more like a workshop. He likes building cars and robots and things like that." Diggy couldn't sit still to build anything like that. JoJo had a better handle on that than Diggy and JoJo was more mature than his twin.

Dillon looked at her. "Selena I'm only 4 foot 11. I won't get much taller than maybe 5'2." he pointed out to her. That would still make him one of the tallest people in the house. "Well then you will be taller than me because I doubt I will get that tall." And it was true. But he didn't mind it so much all the Greenwoods were short and that made him feel more apart of his family and that was never a bad thing.

Diggy nodded his head. He certainly understood about the rain. But his mom liked to run out in the rain and dance in it. Diggy liked doing that with his mom it was something special they did together. "Well England has a lot more going than the rain," he pointed out. "You can come over to my house. Me and my brothers have like a PS3 and everything." He hoped Logan knew what he was talking about.

Logan looked at Diggy and Selena as they talked about dragons. He listened curiously as Diggy asked what type of Dragon she had was.

" You brothers and Sisters sound fun." Logan added I bet it's a blast having siblings." Logan looked at Diggy wide eyed when He was invited over to play sometime by the older boy it was the coolest thing ever, having an older friend invite him to play. "I don't have one of those but I've played one Jimmy that lives across the street at my Mom's has one I go over and play sometimes. I have a Wii got it for my birthday.

Diggy nodded. Despite all the fighting they had a lot of fun with each other. "Yeah they get on my nerves sometimes, but its great having them around," he admitted. Though his sister Willow didn't spend as much time at home and he would like. But he loved going to see her on the stage. "Well you can come over my house and we can plat Wii and PS3. Selena is coming over too so we can have a blast," The summer was going to turn out to be really awesome. Surrounded by friends and his family. What could be better than that?

"Well... the ministry... doesn't really know... we have a pet dragon..." Selena said sheepishly. "It's a thing between me and my stepfather... besides, Liliana, my dragon, she's tame," Selena said. How she missed the beautiful dragon. There were many, many, many, many charms to make sure nothing bad happened. Besides... Selena had complete control over her. "Liliana's a Welsh?" Selena wasn't sure. She had found the egg one day and begged her stepfather to keep it.

Selena smiled. Transforming into an animal was okay... but probably only on the weekends... turning into a cat or something in the middle of class would definitely get her into loads of trouble. "8th brithday? That's quite early," Selena remarked. Her parents would barely let her near a cauldron. Her tutors were not allowed to brew anything with Selena around. She might make it explode. 'Cars and robots? Think he could make a robot to go to school for me?" Selena said jokingly. She was actually enjoying school, which was a first. She rarely enjoyed school.

Diggy looked down on her. She felt a lot shorter. "Please, and I'm 3'8", and I don't think I grow very fast," Selena said with a slight roll of her eyes. He was definitely going to be taller than her... always. Selena was pretty sure she inherited her mother's short gene. Her mother stood at 5'3" while her father was 6"1'. Selena felt short.

Wii? PS3? What was this other world they were talking about? It must be a video game thingy. "Just to be sure, a Wii and a PS3 is a video game console, right?" Selena asked. She blushed slightly. She had rarely gone out into the muggle world but when she did it was amazing. She had begged her father to get her a computer thingy and he got her one. Selena was frequently on it and her mother disapproved greatly.

Fresh air.


Aaaahhhhhh. Sighing, Ty trotted down the corridor, intent on going back to the lake, when he saw what an AMAZING view this place had. Change of plans: he was staying here.

Leaning on the walls of the corridor, Ty looked out at the castle and the grounds, an inexplicable wave of mad joy rushing through him. Yes, most of this place was as AWESOME as wicked Uncle James, but some bits were... well, not nice.

A light breeze made Ty shudder slightly as his mind went back to that horrid Potions lesson. That had been just awful. And THAT was the biggest understatement of the decade.

Abbi was staring off at the view as she walked down the corridor, wondering where she'd go next, she's discovered a few areas of the ground but hasn't been to them all. So, where onto next... "Pardon" she groaned as she smacked straight into a boy, rubbing her face she sighed, "wasn't watching where i am going".

Fascinated, Ty watched a few owls soar in and out of the owlery, remembering the incident with his own tiny owl, Send. That had been so scary... Ooh, look at that pretty white one! Its win-

AARRRGGHHH!!! Ty felt something very solid collide with him and he had to grab onto the corridor walls VERY hard to not fall. Automatically looking up to see what it was that had almost made it fall, his eyes landed on a girl, not THAT much taller than him which was nice, and who was apologizing to him.

HA! See? THIS girl apologized the moment she could - Swamp Girl hadn't. "It's ok - I'm alive, see, so it's all good. I'm Ty!" he said, enthusiastically. The more people he knew, the better!

"Ehhhh" Abbi let her hand slide down to her side and mused, of course he was alive, she wouldn't even be able to hurt him. She liked the boy. She chuckled at him then smiled, "I'm Abbi, Abbigail Stevens.. How old are you?".

"Abbi - can I call you Bi [sounds like BEE]?" Ty asked, once again preferring to name someone with one syllable. It was WAY cool. "I'm going to be thirteen in January - I'm big, see, even if I'm short. How old are you?" he asked, liking this girl very much. She was odd - asked weird questions - but he liked that.

He was often the same. So YAY for odd people.

"Uhhh" she sighed blinking at him once, then a second time. "I don't see why not" she really couldn't find anything odd with that name except that it relates to Bee's but she liked bee's. So it was okay for her. Right? Okay right.

"You're old" she tilted her head from one side to another studiously, "I'm only eleven" she smiled, "turned eleven this summer actually.. and you're not short. There are students that are older than and just a short" she shrugged remembering the few she passed, "how do you like Hogwarts so far? I'm still learning my way around it, it's huuuuuuge!"

Old? That was the first time he had heard that. As in, the first time it had sounded anything less than really good. Hmm. "I suppose... I mean, if you're eleven, then I AM old," Ty shrugged, smiling at Bi.

Whoa. WHAT?! "I've never met anyone who's as short as me here... And back at home, only the six to eight year olds were," Ty said, slightly indignant. His tiny build wasn't something he was proud of - not by far - BUT, it was really special, in a way.

And Bi was telling him that there were OTHERS!? He'd have to meet them. "Yeah, it SO is! But I love it - it's so WICKED," Ty nodded enthusiastically, glancing at the towering castle. Oh, he LOVED it, all right. "What's your favourite class, so far?"

He supposed? Eh, well to her he was old. ONE year older which made him and ...what did they say one day older would know one year more than you? Eh so he's like, she tried to do math and she came around one twenty years older. She stroked her temple, uhhh.

"Well you should go out more often then, maybe you'll see them" she shrugged again pointing at the playground, no grounds. Whatever they called them .... "I like it so far, it's just so confusing and big and ... new." she emphasized on new, "I'm hoping with time I'll come to enjoy it. "I don't have a favorite so far, but i know i fail at flying. My broom wouldn't even communicate!!" she shook her head, "what's your favorite class?".

"I'm always out," Ty commented, narrowing his eyes. He was out so much, he hardly spent time in the common room! Bi definitely didn't know him yet. "It's my first year here too, you know," he said, nodding at Bi as she emphasized the new. Bi was... strange. It was different - Ty liked it.

But she definitely wasn't the same strange that he was. "REALLY? Mine was just fine, after a few tries. And I suppose my favourite right now is Flying. It's just so FUN! But I also liked Arithmancy; the numbers are really cool. Were you at Potions?" he suddenly asked, wanting to see if he wasn't the only one who had been perpetually scarred by the lesson.

Professor Lafay was EVIL. And SCARY. Maybe less evil, but DEFINITELY scary.

Abbi raised a brow at his comment, always out? Eh? Why wasn't he paying attention? ... "OHHH" from excitement she stood on her toes, "It's your first year here? then how...ohhh!! wait? How come?" now that confused her, was he transfer? Can they transfer? She gasped, they have other magical schools?

"Mine was horrible" she shook her head, though she wished she had fun as much as he made it sound, elkh! "I didn't go to Arithmancy yet .. " she made a face at Potions, "that class was horrid! I couldn't get anything right and the students in there were loonies playing fireworks on the middle of the lesson!"

"Well, see, my Father, he's mean and he said I wasn't ready to go to Hogwarts even though I WAS and Mother agreed with Father, 'cause she always does. So he wouldn't let me come last year - but this year I HAD to come. I just HAD to, so I was a really really good boy for ages and they let me go!" Ty told the story very quickly, getting caught up in it and at the end he clapped in delight, showing JUST how happy he was that his parents had let him come.

Potions. ICK. BLEH. Horrible class. "Yes, and then later Professor Lafay set three girls ON FIRE. And she was so scary! And mean! And she gave the Head Girl and other two prefects detention!! Can you believe that??" Ty said, his voice torn between outrage and terror. Yes, Lafay did that to him - he had had a HORRIBLE dream about her the other nice. . .

It hadn't been very nice. At all.

Abbi's eyes rounded as she heard what Tyler had to say then placed a hand on his shoulder, "that is great to hear! I'm so glad he let you go, at least you'll be away from his harsh standards' she shuddered then smiled.. "In my case my parents couldn't be more than happy to ship me off, lets hide the weird girl and tell everyone she went to boarding school".

Giggling at what he said about potions she nodded, "yeah she's a terrible teacher, but to be honest, in this place I'm starting to believe anything can happen!".

She was... touching him. Girls never touched him. Apart from Lo - but she was a big girl and had a boyfriend. Not that it mattered, but still. It was... odd. "Weird girl? But you're AWESOME. Weird people are really wicked, you know. We can be the two weirdos together! The Wicked Weirdos!" Ty said, enthusiastic once again.

SEE???!!?!!? Parents were nightmares. HIS were cruel and Bi's called her weird. At least Father never said it out loud to Ty's face. "Yes, she is." Ty shuddered involuntarily, then beamed again at the mention of Hogwarts - or, as she had put it, "this place".

"I love it here. I kind of like the fact that it's all so awesomely unexpected! I mean, you round a corner and BAM it's a totally different space! And those trick stairs and the doors that pretend to be walls... I really love Hogwarts!" And once again, the dreamy gaze was back and he started up at the castle with awe, not really minding Bi's hand on him anymore.

It was weird. But they were WEIRDOS together. So it was all good.

Abbi giggled at his comment, no one ever made being weird sound this FUN! "If you say so.. though no body thinks I'm awesome except you" she giggled some more and let her hand fall by her side and listened to TY as he talked more and more, "I like The Wicked Weirdo's" he tilted her head to one side, "we can be a band! or or or ... eh?" she really had no clue what other group they can, she just met the guy.

"I can't say that I love it yet, i mean i barely attended class, and adventured around but so far i really do like it, i hope one day I'd come to love it..... it's just everything is so new and different" she replied honestly.
