Pamphylia walked into the dorm. She didn't know what was going on, but there was now a prefect standing over two boys. She watched as one boy tried to stand. She quickly ran over and put the boy's arm around her shoulders. She was short so it was kinda hard, but she didn't say anything, determined to help the boy stand.

Vashti was a bit relieved to see Ellie. At least she wasn't the only one trying to stop this dumb fight. Oh, and her Shield Charm actually worked! She was proud of herself.

But then- EEEEEP! Prefect alert! Vashti wasn't sure whether this was perfect timing or not. "Well..." she began, looking from the prefect to Jacob to JD and back again, not quite sure how to explain what had happened. It was all just...random and weird. "Jacob for some...reason tackled JD and they started fighting and then they stopped for a second but they were going to start fighting again so I used a Shield Charm to keep them apart and Ellie stepped between them to make sure they stopped and then...well then you came in." And she hoped that run-on sentence made sense, even if this fight didn't.

Miles stopped himself from rolling his eyes. This was really all stupid. "JD calm down. Do you need to go to the nurse?" It seemed like he was injured. His eyes went to Jacob and he frowned. "You come with me." Teach him to start fights for no apparent reason. This was not acceptable. "Vashti put your wand away alright?"

Jacob went wide eyed. Oh Geez. This was a first! He gulp hard. Jacob shot a sort of apologizing look at JD. He couldn't say anything, cause it would look weird to say it after he got in trouble... it would look like he was only saying it cause he was gonna get in trouble.

Jacob stood up waiting to see what Miles would Do.

Looking over as an arm went around him, to help stead him, he's able to finally catch his balance. Stupid knee... he thinks silently. His eyes narrowing at Ellie, he shakes his head, what was it? Did she think he couldn't handle Jacob by himself? Was that why she didn't care for him, thought he was weak? "Ellie, drop it!" he said even more angrily, turning as Vashti got into it as well with explaining.

"I'm fine." he threw at Miles. He knew he wasn't but he was not going to show any weakness if he could help it. He just wished he'd gotten in a few more punches. Sighing frustratedly, he glares at Jacob again. What was that kids problem anyway?

She must have loved her school very much. Much like he was with his. Of course, living there for so many years, it would be kinda hard not to become attached to it. It was only a shame that his last year of schooling would not be there, but at this school. Then again, this tournament was a once in a lifetime opportunity. It was nice though, that he got to share it with a few certain people.

Watching her hair fall around her shoulders like a waterfall of chocolate. Of course, he had to relate it to some type of food, but he was starting to get hungry again as usual. Not that he wanted to eat her hair, that would be a bit disturbing. Aw, so she liked quidditch! He never really got into wizard's chess though. And of course...shopping. What girl did not like it? But, oh... "What type of career in potions do you have your eye on?"

Hehe. He could not argue about being handsome. "Well, I enjoy flying, zough not so much ze sport to tell ze truth." There were too many rules in the sport. "Actually, most of my free time is outside doing somezing...active." Having been stuck up inside all day sitting and studying, he needed it. Yes, he had an exciting life.

"Wait!" Ellie told JD. Then she turned to Miles.

"Please, Miles, look." She gestured to herself, Vashti, JD and Jacob. "Look who's involved. Can't you see it?" Because something had dawned on here in those few confused moments. And... well... it made sense. If Miles could just seeeee. She didn't want Jacob to get in trouble.

Put her wand away? Oh yeah, that probably would be a good idea, wouldn't it? Yeaaahhh. "Yes, sir," she said, doing as she was told. She just hoped Ravenclaw wouldn't lose too many points for this. They were already behind ten points; they didn't need to go any lower...

Miles looked at JD and smirked, "Good you can come too then." What was he going to do? He didn't really know but...he'd think of something. "Come on you two." He turned away and then turned back when he head Ellie, "See what? Just because Quidditch was canceled doesn't give them a right to fight. Sorry Ellie I have to do my job."

Pam thougth this was her time to speak up. Mainly to the boy she was holding up, but partially to the prefect. "Do you want me to come along too? Or can you walk fine on your own?" She just wanted to make sure this boy would be fine.

Not fair.

"But.... All our tempers are running high... I'm probably at just as much fault. JD and I were arguing before any of this happened. He got angry." Ellie spared him a glance. "I've never seen him mad, and I've sent him to the hospital wing. With worse injuries than this." She wrinkled her nose and bit her lip and took a deep breath. "I just... don't think... anyone should be punished as if they were thinking straight. They're not." Well... Vashti seemed pretty rational. And she'd tell anyone that she was, as well. "They're boys." she added. That would explain it, right?

Nodding slightly at Miles, but not taking his eyes off Jacob, he looked apologetic, which was odd he thought. Why would he look that way if he'd intended to start a fight.

Shaking his head at the younger student, "No, I can manage. Thank you." he says trying to soften his voice a little. She was after all just trying to help. On the other hand Ellie, was driving him nuts! Rolling his eyes he turns away from her plea's to Miles.

Putting all his weight on his left leg, he manages to exit out of the common room with Miles. He was ticked, but knew it would be better just to go as he was told.

Jacob wondered what miles was gonna do to him. And Even JD was supposed to come... maybe to watch Jacob be tortured... Which would be amusing if he wasn't the one who was gonna be punished. He Followed Miles quickly, then Stopped suddenly as Miles turned back around. Come on Just get this over with!

Vashti, at first, hadn't understood where Ellie was going with it, but by now it was perfectly clear. And it seemed like a good idea, so she nodded, deciding to go with it. "Ellie has a point," she agreed. And that was all she could think to say. The second year had explained her points pretty well; there wasn't much to be elaborated on.

Looking at Ellie he shook his head, "Calm down Ellie it'll be alright." Giving her a smile he turned back around and looked at Jacob. "Well what're you waiting for? " Shaking his head he walked out of the common room.

Pam watched as the prefect and the two boys left. She sighed. More points loss for us. But more importantly two boys were hurt. She didn't like it when people got hurt, and she wanted to make sure they got better. She went and sat in a chair by the fire and brought her knees up to her chest, and worried for a while.

"What?" Ellie watched Miles leave. Talk about a foiled plan. What was that smile? That was what had freaked her out. This did not seem like a smile situation.

She gave Vashti her most quizical look. Yeah, she was confused.

"It is nice to meet you, Arienna." She said in a pleasant tone, but not with one of her polite smiles. No need to waste one on a girl who couldn't see. Reaching out, she grasped the girl's hand and gave it a few shakes while she studied her features. Much easier for her to do now that the girl was standing in front of her.

Dropping the girl's hand, she patted the chair beside her. Sandra had plans on asking the girl about how she got around the castle alone, when she noticed some younger students pulling wands on each other. She wasn't surprised since they had put on a similar show at the opening feast. "Do your housemates always fight vith each other?"

Sandra shrugged her shoulders gently at his inquiry. She wasn't really sure what she wanted to do with potions, just that she wanted to work with them. There are so many jobs that involve working with potions, and she still didn't know exactly what field to pursue. "Maybe creating potions..." She mused with a dreamy look in her eyes. "I defiantly vant to study potions more after Durmstrang." That was the only thing she was certain on; one couldn't want to work with potions without studying them extensively. Blinking a few times, she tilted her head to the side thoughtfully. "Do you knov vhat you vant to do after graduating?"

So she had found an active guy. Danika would like this one. "Do you like to swim, Noel?" Sandra wasn't one for spending much time outside unless she was in the air or in the water. The only time she was outside and not doing either was when she was with her best friend. Most of her time was spent inside in a potions lab or with friends. It was a shame he didn't like to play quidditch, she would have enjoyed seeing him play. "I don't spend much time outside.....unless I am in good company." Hint. Hint.

Hugo saw a girl standing alone, then remembered he wanted to make some friends.

"Hi," said Hugo to the girl. "I'm Hugo. And you?" He smiled.

Creating potions, was one of those jobs that required a rather in depth knowledge on the subject. Not to mention stressful and time consuming, though she seemed to have her heart set on the topic. Unlike him, who was almost cringing at the idea. Creating spells was one thing, but potions? He had to admire her for her passion though. "Me?" Oh, that surprised him. He was thinking too much about her. "Umm, well I do want to study more after Beauxbatons, definitely." But after that? "I am leaning more towards becoming a Professor, or something similar."

Inspired by the Professor's at Beauxbatons of course, and he was only too lucky to be at a different school this year with different Professor's and teaching methods. "Aw, oui. Swimming, running, you name it, I will probably like it." Except quidditch. "Why? Do you like to sw-" Oh, she didn't like spending time outside? Hmm, he supposed that answered his unfinished question then. Unless he was assuming? "Well, will my company be enough to join me on a walk one of zese days? Or a fly? Whatever you want."

She had agreed to studying, so why not try something else too? It was worth a shot. Glancing to the girl Sandra had introduced herself to, Noel was beginning to wonder what was up with the sunglasses the girl had on, completely missing the cane of course.

Louisa felt relaxed when Vashti and Carin talked to her about cats. So her cat wasn't that annoying and stubborn. Nice sign! she couldn't tell what's wrong with Kitty. Urgh!

Just as Astor was put in kitty's basket, the brownish cat's eyes snapped open. Louisa smirked. Heh, the victory was close now. Kitty shifted in her basket a bit and then started to stare at the black pet that has just invaded her home. Louisa was staring at the two cats with concern, what if those two started to fight? She couldn't just have another lecture about having a pet from a Professor. Gah! She's had enough.

"He used to scratch you?" She asked Carin slowly, her eyes were still on cats, "I think I should feel lucky that Kitty is content with sleeping and refusing to obey me then." Yeah, she wouldn't stand being scratched, no way!

Kitty started to walk around Astor slowly digesting his figure and 'caressing' it. She started to 'play' with him too, bumping her head at his gently and licking some of his black fur. Louisa almost gasped, "WHAT?" She shouted before glancing around, she didn't want attention. That wasn't supposed to be a friends' meeting or something. That's not what Louisa thought and she was kind of annoyed by Kitty because the cat showed reaction towards Astor more than with herself! She's her owner for heaven's sake!

"Likewise," she greeted, giving a nod. Ari heard the young woman pat the chair and gave another smile. "Thank you."

When she asked if her housemates always fought, she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, listening to the commotion, and gave a small laugh, "Only the younger ones...usually." Yeah. Ravenclaws got a little rowdy sometimes... once in a while...okay, maybe more than that--but they weren't all like that! "But, for the most part, we're all...uhm...We're all pretty close." Well. She couldn't exactly speak for herself--not many Ravenclaws actually spoke to her--but none were rude to her. So. Yeah.

"Well, Miss Miroslav, have you enjoyed your time here, so far?", she inquired politely. She had also been working on her social graces this summer. Needless to say, she was impressed with herself for getting this far.

Well that hadn't worked. Sigh. Vashti answered Ellie's look with a small shrug and said quietly, "At least we tried, I guess." How many points were they going to lose now? She was honestly afraid to find out.

Vashti watched silently as the two cats interacted though she wasn't really seeing them. Her mind was off trying to figure out how many points Ravenclaw was going to lose and how much homework she'd have to do to try and get all those points back and more. Of course, she wouldn't be alone in this. Many others would be working hard and bringing their points up as well. But the other houses had a lead now and would have their own students working to keep it. Ugghhh. This was turning out to be a really stressful year...

Ellie threw herself onto the armchair.

"I hate not knowing!" Wow. Okay, so she was a nosy little girl, wasn't she? "Miles would know, though, right? He's not going to do anything to them?" No, he wouldn't. She reeeeaaally wanted to think that. But... she had just felt he was more likely to tell Professor V. She didn't really know the prefect, after all. No telling what he was going to do.

Instead of waiting for Vashti to reply, though, she got up and headed for the dorms. "I'm just going to go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow?" She glared at the sighing firstie. Then walked right upstairs.

Pamphylia stared down at the fire. It had been a while since the boys had returned. She didn't really know why she had included herself into this situation, it wasn't hers to mess with, but she guessed it was her 'helping instinct'. She remembered when her mom had told her that whenever someone was hurt, the first thing she'd do was offere help. She sighed, a little more loudly than she intended.

I've involved myself, and now I'm not turning back. she decided confidently.
