Louisa nodded, "It all happened at the feast. Busy year it seems, eh?" She said smiling slightly. She decided not to take things to passively and try to focus on the good side.

The little girl sighed happily relieved that using pens and such wasn't a bizarr thing for Vashti. Nice. She glanced over at her Kitty's basket to see that the cat was still asleep. Hmm. "You know? Kitty -my cat- has been asleep for more than 12 hours now, do you have any ideas why? I mean she is stubborn and never liked me but why doesn't she wake up?" She asked her eyes hanging upong the cat concerned.

Jay pricked his finger in the dorms, after taking his insulin he put a plaster on his finger again, then he walked down from his dorms, shaking his head to make his hair look messy and he saw Luna, he smiled and walked up to her and sat down near her, "Hiya," he greeted.

"hi i'm august she said.so what year are you she said with a smile.


yeah i'm wired she thought to herself.whats are your hobbies.I train for muggle pro wrestling.

"Hi," Luna smiled. She saw a plaster on his finger. "What happened?" she asked.

Vashti nodded. "Very busy," she agreed. And then...something clicked. "That...wasn't what caused Ravenclaw to lose ten points, was it?" She was still upset over that, but even if Louisa admitted that it was, she wasn't going to go off on the girl. She was only first year, after all, and obviously she wouldn't have done it on purpose. But still, Vashti wanted to know exactly what caused them to lose points. She just wanted to know.

It was only then, when Louisa mentioned it, that she noticed the cat, and she couldn't help letting out an, "AWWW!" She loved cats and this one was soooo cuuuute! "I've read that cats usually like to sleep a lot," she answered. "I can't remember what the average amount of time was, but it was a lot. So I think she's okay, just acting like a typical cat."

She was a wrestler too? Well that was also different. To each their own, Vashti reminded herself again. "I like to read," she answered, though she figured that shouldn't be too much of a surprise; most Ravenclaws liked to read, "and hang out with my friends. Oh, and Quidditch. I love playing Quidditch."

Jay leant in, off the chair to talk to her, then heard her ask about the plaster, "I have diabetes, i check my blood sugar but cover it up so it wont get infected." he replied to her, "Anyway..." he said awkwardly, wanting to get off the subject, "How are you?" he asked.

"she fliexes her mucles.yeah i'm really strong i bet i can lift that couch she lifts the couch with both hands.

"Thanks," Carin said, trying to smile, but Skye's rather cold response made it difficult for her to act like nothing had happened. Oh, well, perhaps with time it would work out?

"Anyway, I hope we can still talk sometime," Carin added, before smiling a little wider and walking away. She'd let Skye make the first move next time; if the older girl would even want to do that, that is.

"Yeah, Astor's more hyper than is good for him," Carin responded to Louisa's remark. "Perhaps he just got used to having too much space, my house is pretty big and he used to go wild all over it. Maybe he'll wake Kitty up a bit too?" Carin suggested, motioning that she could put Astor into the other cat's basket. Perhaps they'd like each other.

"And I'm... fine, I think, all things considered," she answered Louisa's question, but without meeting the younger girl's eyes. She didn't particularly feel like talking about the feast, to be honest. "How about you?" she felt inclined to ask after a moment, though.

Uhoh. Carin hadn't really been following Vashti's and Louisa's conversation that closely, but from what she could hear, they were discussing the feast. And the fight. And the points she and Enya had lost.

And Vashti was about to find out about everything from Louisa. Well, she might as well find out from Carin herself; she still wasn't entirely sure she'd trust Louisa, considering the girl's impossible-to-understand loyalty to Enya.

"Yeah, the loss of points would have been partly my fault, mine and this other girl's. We argued at the feast and tried cursing each other and after getting into a food fight, Kingsley noticed and took the points away."

There, she'd said it, in a nutshell. She didn't look at Vashti or Louisa, though. She was sure that Vashti would just turn and walk away, maybe get mad at her first and then disappear. And she didn't want to see one of the first people who were nice to her that year turn her back on her.

Louisa blinked when Vashti asked, with Carin around she was really nervous as what to say. She didn't want to talk about it to people and ramble that she tried to fix it just to end up making things worse and her interefer could be the reason that attention was caught. Her mind raced fast searching for the most classy reply.

However, Carin started talking. Whether she felt Louisa's hesitant or not, the girl didn't know but felt deep gratitude for taking care of Vashti's question. Louisa looked down and busied herself in playing with her hair while Carin summarized what happened. The best she could do.

Louisa noticed Skye sitting a little bit far from them and talking to Carin. She could see the cold response she gave which made her not step into the conversation. Louisa could wait for a bit before she talked to the older girl, who knew what Skye thought of Louisa after that spell which went horrible.
To let the atmosphere soften a bit, Louisa accepted Carin's suggest immediately, "Yes, of course. It'd be cool to let Astor in Kitty's basket. It's over there on that chair." She gestured to the opposite of this room where a light brown basket laid on top of a chair and a brownish little cat laid there lazily.

She turned to Vashti then while walking towards Kitty, "Really? Cats are meant to be long-time sleepers?" She was surprised and yet relieved. That meant that Kitty wasn't acting like that because she hated Louisa, and that meant a lot to the girl. "I was just wondering why wouldn't she eat when I offer her food and why wasn't she roaming around like other cats."

Vashti, quite honestly, was speechless. Probably one of the few times in her life. All she could do when August lifted a couch was go o_____O.



Vashti was expecting the explanation to be from Louisa but then Carin was speaking up and explaining to her what happened. Huh. A food fight? Vashti always (secretly) wanted to have a food fight but never actually had. Not at school anyway because, well, obviously they'd lose points. Though, thinking about the situation, they were at least lucky they'd been caught by Professor Kingsley and not someone like, say, Professor Lafay. Oh Merlin, she didn't even want to imagine how that could've turned out. Oi.

"Oh," she finally said after taking a deep breath, as she figured Carin was probably waiting for a reply. "Well, it'll be okay. I mean, at least it was only ten points and not a hundred like Slytherin lost last term. We can still win the House Cup." She emphasized that with a firm nod. Because they were SO going to win this term. They couldn't win the Quidditch Cup (*pout*) but they still had the other Cup to win. "So don't worry about it," she added with a small smile.

It was then that Vashti suddenly noticed Carin's little kitty as well and couldn't help but "AWW!" again. Cats were just soooo cute! She couldn't help it!

She nodded in answer to Louisa's question. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are. I think they're usually more active at night too. They sleep mostly during the day," she said. At least, that was what she remembered from a book she'd read.

Carin still avoided looking at either girl as she leaned down and let Astor jump out of her arms and approach Kitty. As black approached brown, Carin wondered if perhaps they'd get along, and if that would help her relations with Louisa.

"Don't worry, Astor spent the first week I had him scratching my arms every time he could," Carin said, showing Louisa the marks on her forearms, trying to make the girl feel a it better. "I thought he hated me, but he's just... Astor. He got used to me and barely ever scratches me anymore, if at all."

Carin looked up at Vashti with wide eyes. She wasn't mad? She wasn't yelling... wow. She really didn't know how to respond to that. Tantrums like Enya's she could deal with, but understanding like Vashti? This was new to her. But so, so much nicer.

"Wow, thanks," she said, grinning happily. "And yes, don't worry I'll get those points back as soon as classes start," she promised.

"Astor and cute? Yeah, I used to think so too, until he scratched and bit me when I got him. He's calmed down now though, although he still tends to be less than courteous to strangers sometimes, so I'd be careful at first if you want to pet him," Carin warned Vashti. She didn't mind the other girls stroking Astor and all, but she felt obliged to warn them. Her cat seemed to have a worse temperament than her, after all, and that really was saying something.

Luna walked in putting her books down on the table lightly looking at all the kids. she was pail with wavy hair. to shy to say hi. she hoped somone would see her

Skye smiled at the younger girl, but the smile didn't quite reach her eyes. It wasn't that she was trying to be mean; she felt as though she was teaching Carin a lesson, one that would make her act closer to her age in the future. When Skye could see some sort of proof of this, she'd return to acting perfectly friendly towards Carin and the others.

"Oh...maybe," she said, in response to Carin's remark about talking again sometime. "I'm sort of busy now, though."
Sky felt eyes on her, and she looked over to see Louisa sitting near Carin. How she hadn't noticed her before, Skye didn't know. She could feel the question in Louisa's eyes, though. Skye had nothing against Louisa, who really hadn't done anything wrong at the feast, but she didn't feel like talking to her, anyway. She held her gaze for a moment, then let here eyes drop from Louisa's. Skye turned back to the other girl she was talking to before. Celeste? Maybe.

"Sorry," she said. "Er. so, yeah I'm Skye."

That was what Vashti wanted to hear - that Carin was going to gain the points (and surely even more than that) back. It made her feel a little better about those, eh, negative points, knowing that her fellow Ravenclaws were all going to pitch in to get all the points they could possibly get. House Cup, you belong with Ravenclaw!

She blinked and raised an eyebrow as Carin explained her cat's, er, vicious temperament. "Really?" She wondered if she should risk petting him but after a few seconds decided that she might as well get it over with. If he was going to scratch her...well, she'd be okay. It wasn't like she hadn't been attacked scratched by her aunts' cats. "Here goes nothing then," she said as she reached out her hand towards Astor to pet him.

august puts down the couch sorry i can be way over board with my power.

Jacob rolled off of the chair. He quicklygot up off the ground. Jacob started stumbleing before getting his balance back, and dusted his clothes off. As people talked about him, he just grunted loudly. This Term Was Not Going Right! First No Quidditch, Then He starts going crazy? and falls out of chairs.

He needed something Physical, Dangerous and Abusive to do soon or they were going to cart him off to the crazy house... not like he wasn't already in one. His eyes locked of JD... Yes! That was the best thing to do right now... Afterwards it might look bad, and ravenclaw might lose a lot of points but he needed to do something...

Quickly Jacob Jumped at JD and Tried to Pin the Boy to the Ground... Yup Physical... Dangerous... Abusive.

Turning to head for the stairs when he heard a sound behind him, turning he sees Jacob coming at him, just a second before he hit the ground. Oh, no he didn't! Grabbing him by the robes he tries to force him off him.

Hitting him in the side of the jaw, JD realizes he made a connection. Still struggling to get Jacob off him he yells "Get off ye git!" Oh was he mad, what else was gonna happen, he had no clue.

Jacob felt JD grabbing his robes. And as the boy did so, Jacob felt himself roll over so that his back was on the floor. "OW" He Exclaimed, as his head hit the ground. Why did he expect to just knock the boy down with out being hit back?

"Yeouch!!" he yelped when the boy Punched him straight in the Jaw... Man if he only had his beaters bat! "Your the one on me!" he screamed As he tried to kick the boy.

Finally managing to get him off him, he shakes his head, trying to hold him down "What the he..." Oomffff he gasps as the foot connected right in his kneecap.

Rolling off, he grabs his knee, and kicks Jacob's legs over "WHAT'S YER PROBLEM!" he shouts. All he'd hoped for is to just talk to Ellie and now he'd been attacked. What the heck! Ready to pounce again if the kid did anything else, he moves his leg wincing as he did so he couldn't bend his knee.

His fists balling up, he was ready if the kid tried anything again.

Vashti was at least slightly relieved when the girl put the couch down. That sure was random. "Yeaaaahh..." she said, nodding her head slightly.



It took a few seconds for what happened next to register in Vashti's mind. Jacob had NOT just tackled JD out of nowhere, had he? Surely she was imagining this. But after a few seconds had passed and it was still happening, she realized that this really was happening. Boys! They were nuts!

Acting on the first thing that came to mind, Vashti drew her wand and yelled, "Protego!" She wasn't extremely skilled with Shield Charms yet, but she could sometimes cast a competent one, and she really, really hoped tonight was one of those times.

What?! Ellie had been temporarily frozen. That. Was. Not. Expected. But, she quickly snapped out of it.

"Oi!" she yelled, walking up to the two boys. Standing in between them she turned to Jacob. The instigater.

"Really? What was that?" And...she'd better get an answer. Or... it may just be her and Jacob on the floor next.

Miles walked into the common room and was greeted with yelling and shouting. Looking around he spotted JD, Vashti, Jacob, and Ellie standing around and Vashti had her wand out. "HEY!!!!" he yelled as he walked over and stood in the center of whatever was going on next to Ellie, "What in merlin's beard is going on here?!" What was wrong with these Ravenclaws this term.

Jacob just sat there panting... it was so weird. OW! The boy kicked him back! That was totally un-... well no it was completely fair. Jacob watched as the JD Grabbed his knee in pain.

What his problem? He had lots of problem... but for this specific moment. "I...don't... know" he said. He was just having a bad day... Should he apologize? Nah! But he was ready to fight again if the boy did anything...

He was forced away by vashti's charm

He looked up as miles entered "I think it was a fight?" Was it a fight? Could have been!

Pushed back at the force of the shield charm from Vashti, he groans. Looking up he sees Ellie, come over and stand between them, "Leave it Ellie." he replied angrily. He didn't need her in the middle of it as well. Struggling with his knee, he gets himself up to standing.

Feeling a sharp jab in his jaw, he raises his fist again. He wasn't about to take anymore of this. "YE GIT!" He yells, then realizes Miles came in yelling.

Glaring at Jacob, he jerks his head toward him "Ask him!" he replies to Miles. He was ticked, and now with an injured knee. Could it get any worse then it already was? His fists still balled up, he thought maybe he should just get out of there.

Ellie turned and raised her eyebrow at JD. Leave it? Snort. Like she was one to 'leave it'.

She looked up at Miles and rolled her eyes.

"You'll have to ask Jacob. He jumped at JD out of no where."

That kid had issues tonight.
