Worry? Okay, fair enough. Danika wouldn't worry about threats made to Nikolai. Not that she wasn't worried at Nikolai being threatened, it was that Hogwarts was supposed to be welcoming or something like that. She was pretty sure threats weren't included.

But she was naive enough to forget that they were supposed to be welcoming Vladimir and Nikolai. Threats are always included.

Danika chuckled at his comment, even if it was remarkably clever. He should stick to the ladies of Gryffindor. The ones about his age, anyway. She saw little point in Nikolai meeting the young ones.

The girl nodded, "It vas probably a slip up, hoe could they knoe that I vould think badly of it, correct?" she shrugged, not like she cared what those ones thought of her, actually, it was better that way because she knew who to keep close.

And then the moment she'd been waiting for. Because now Nik would give a couple examples about...Oh. See, Danika was hoping for a couple examples, not for that kind of response. Her face may be neutral about the whole subject but her dark gray eyes could have given her away, perhaps. "I vill have to vorry?" she said, and chuckled, "Nonsense! He vould not react too vadly for something like that" yes, the girl was almost dismissing the topic now. Except, well, if Nikolai was looking then he probably took notice that she was worried.

And his eyebrow was raised. He was suspicious. Good. He'll get what she'll try to say.

Her eyes grew curious, "Vut I--" she couldn't finish, they were interrupted, and Danika only nodded while her eyes were still facing Nikolai as if saying 'Vut I made a deal'.

It's not like she'd told the boy where Durmstrang was, anyway. But any sort of deal with a non-magical descendant won't be that appealing to Zitnik.

Danika then turned her face towards the new girl. All evidence of worried and curious eyes gone, only to be replaced by a cool expression.

Yes, all them Durmstrang boys and girls seem to be great at not letting their feelings known so easily. Danika, however, had trouble with her eyes, but she managed this time, "Rae. I am Danika" she said, with a faint smile, the Hogwartian had manners, and the Durmstrang one really appreciated that.

Not the interruption part. But yes to the manners.

Danika almost laughed, "Yes, thanc you, that is vhat everyone says" a nod came to her precious dark red head. 'Welcome to Hogwarts', did Danika care to count how many times that was said?

Oh. Nikolai already knew her. Yes, he wasn't wasting any time.

And Danika was just going to have a bit of fun about this. "Oh, you already met" she said, eying Nik with a smirk on her face, "Are you planning on stealing him avay from me?" yes, the tone was that of sadness.

But she was merely joking, not that Rae would know she was.

"Michael, the thing I need you to understand is that I need different now. I'm no longer forced to be around people I don't want to be with. And I want to be with you. I understand that you and Saph are friends, I count her as a friend too." Enya looked down, "Snogging is kissing." she said softly, then looked up. "I want us to take things slow, no rushing things." She said, squeezing his hand.

Rae really just wanted to meet the girl, to have to deal with Pretty Boy again might just drive her mad. Still, with her fake pretty smile she pretended she wasn't dealing with her boyfriend's evil twin. She fought hte strong urge not to smirk at him like Xylon always did at Gold. Instead she turned to the girl.

Danika, wow, Rae loved that name, she wanted to say so but she hesitated because she knew that if someone said that to her she would feel awkward. "Er, I guess, I normally don't say things like that I just...." Rae trailed off... Didn't know what to say? That was the ending, but that sounded stupid. It was probably a whole lot better at Durmstrang anyways, why was the tournament held here? Danika's comment about her and Pretty Boy already meeting made Rae want to reply 'Unfortunately.' However she held her tongue, she still needed him.

Her next question left Rae speechless... Almost. "Oh no he's all yours." Rae definitely didn't want him, she just needed him for her plan, which he knew he was needed, and he probably knew that Rae wasn't happy about it. Stupid Evil Twin!

"I am just saying cuz she might try and have a go at you again,.. so what is the plan with your parents if you dont mind me asking"

"My birth parents are dead. I was being cared for, if you can call it that by Aunt Lexi and Uncle Alex. But now I've been adopted by my cousin Jackson and His wife Jamie. And I told you, Jackson and Jamie won't care as long as I am happy.

" Well when you meet my dad you got to freak him out with the hair thing he will get a huge kick out of it"

"I can't do it anymore. I lost the power." she said softly. "I'm sorry, but that sometimes happens to magical people, but in times of great physical and emotional stress, we can loose some abilities."

"Well we will have to learn how to do it together,what is this Tri wizard thing every one is all worked up about,,, and you never said if you could whistle or not"

"Sweetie, it's not something you learn, you're born with it." She sighed. "I told you at the feast, the triwizard tournament is like the muggle olympics, kinda. Each school has a champoin who has to compete in 3 tasks. the one who wins gets the triwizard cup for their school and a thousand galleons prize money." She explained, sitting down on the soft grass. "And yes I can whistle, but I don't because it's very unladylike."

smirking "Yea right you can whistle and I am not talking bout like when you rember the words to a song,we got a muggle saying of put up or shut up, so let's hear it "

Enya smiled then placed two fingers in her mouth and blew a long and loud wolf whistle, like the kind that muggle construction workers use on ladies.

nodding his head lady my fooot that good but can you do 5 five real fast real short making the call but not having to use his fingers"you might wann stand up cuz trouble is a commming "

Enya shook her head. "No I'm not that good." She looked up at him and wondered why she should stand up, but she did anyway.

turning her slowley around so she can see the large Barred owl swooping tallon's foward heading right for her ,with 2 short whistles the owl pulls out at the last seond so his wing tip just brushes Enya's hair circles and land's on a branch,looking up to the bird "Bubba stop showing off and get down here and say hello "putting his arm out the owl lands on it looks to Enyna hoots twice and bobs his head several times "see that is wot i got to teach ya Bubba is real smart if you know how to talk to him "

Enya was a little afraid of the big bird. "erm Hi bubba." She said softly

"I will teach you to do the call that will make him come just normal and in a week or so you can use him when ever you need him ,if he is going to fit in with the outher owl's he has to get good at the mail thing,he has been able to do it for years I just thought it was him being wierd now i know it was what he was born to do ,his momma was my mom's owl" handing her a treat to give to him

A slip us, yes. Not that Nikolai cared too much about what type of blood a person had. Yes, he wasn't too thrilled about the non-magical descendants, but he would give them the time of day. Only when they went around parading about it did he not approve. Probably another reason he was not Zitnik's favorite. There was an internal shrug, there would be no way to tell if Danika approved or not. It's not like she went around parading. "Correct." he agreed. Even after all the time knowing her, there were still things he didn't know of her.

Would she have to worry? Nikolai wasn't sure. Danika would get a better answer out of Vlad, or Sandra, he was sure of that. They were definitely closer to Zitnik after all. He shrugged, "I vouldn't be to sure avout that. He already seems to.." Nik decided not to finish that sentence. Danika knew how the Headmaster felt about them. He glanced at her, she was worried.

Which could only mean there was a deal made. He wondered what kind of deal was made, to have her worrying.

The topic would have to wait, for now. He doubted Danika wanted listeners.

Still wondering about Danika, Nikolai watched the two exchange introductions. He was quite amused by the smirk Danika gave him, although he wouldn't laugh. Of course he had met Rae already. He wasn't one to waste any time, really.

A smirk of his own appeared. Stealing him away? No. "No von is stealing me avay. There is enough ov me to go around." He spread his arms out wide, like he was expecting a hug from the both of them.

Of course, he really wasn't expecting a hug.

I only have one really she said When do classes start? she asked the older girl

The only words she managed to catch "I vouldn't be too sure avout that", weren't precisely the ones she was hoping for.

There were still in her mind, as a reminder, but for now, there was the girl.

Interesting.

So, the girl didn't finish her sentence. Oh, well, whatever. It's not like the girl was giving an answer to a riddle, so it didn't matter if she ended it or not. For all Danika could know Rae didn't know what to say to strangers.

Odd, for a Hogwartian. They seem to have something to say at all times.

Danika couldn't help but laugh, "He cannot be all mine" she said, there were plenty of girls who wanted him. Danika, however, didn't like to share, so Rae's answer would've been a perfect one if she was remotely interest in keeping Nikolai just for her.

But it wouldn't do the world any good.

So, the girl had introduced herself, did she want anything else?

Ah. Yes, he couldn't keep quiet about it.

Danika's eyebrow was raised, "I knoe there is" she said, a small wink his way and a smile to the girl, "See?" she said Rae, even if she wanted him for herself, she could never do such a thing.

"Thanks, but why can't I just go up to the owlery and hold out my arm for him, I mean if he recognizes me?" She asked "I mean I want to learn I wass just wondering." She walked over to him. "Can we go somewhere where we can sit down? Maybe near the Whomping willow?"

sending Bubba off to go hunt " he is not getting on with the outher owls .... as he leads her towards the Whomping Willow

Marie opened her eyes only to realize she had fallen asleep leaning against the huge rock. The sun had started to set causing shadows to fall over the grounds. Not wanting to get caught outside after dark she stood up, brushed herself off and started back to the castle.

She had really been hoping to see Carter out here. She hated that he wasn't talking to her. She was starting to get the feeling that maybe he really did mean to break up with her with the way he seemed to be avoiding her this week. Maybe that stupid potion was just an excuse so he could break up with her and it not look like it was his fault. After all, he did tell her that he didn't want to be around her... BEFORE he was given that stupid love potion.

Tears started running down her face... again, as she slowly walked back to the castle where she would go and hide in her dorm room. At least there she would be able to pull the curtains around her bed and no one would be able to see her.

"Someone's bitter...."Savannah said, backing away from Ella. She was fighting off the urge to giggle which was was actually doing a fairly good job at, for once. Maybe it's because she wasn't around a boy flirting with her? Yeah, that had to be it. Guys made her giggle and Ella just made her want to punch things and puke. Savannah was still smirking as she listened to Ella's answer, still not believing it. She took a tiny tug, not a painful tug mind you, at Ella's hair."It's the same color as mine...."GIGGLE. There came the giggling, maybe it was just when she was amused she giggled? Eh, Savvy didn't know.

"Are you suuuuuuuure?"

Yes, Savvy knew what she was doing. She was being as annoying as possible and she was almost positive it was working.Savannah rested a hand on her hip, BEAMING.

Haaaa! Of course she was being bitter. Everything in her life was a perfect excuse to be a little bit bitter. "I suppose you've heard about me and Aiden by now then?" Obviously she would. Aiden's probably run back to her already. One of those running towards each other in slow motion moments, right? Pfft.

Okay. The giggling was getting to her now.
"WHY are you laughing if you just said it looked better than it did?" She knew that the reason for her actions were kind of funny, but really, there was a time to stop and now was that time. Ella glared at her. Even though it was clearly obvious how upset she was, Savannah still couldn't help but be a total cow. It really said a lot about what sort of person she is. "I know it is." She agreed, turning her nose up at Savannah's hair. "That alone is a good enough reason to dye it back." Heh.

"Of course I am sure!" She snapped. But with all the quick back talk, it made it slightly obvious that it was about Aiden. She cleared her throat. "You're loving this, aren't you? Seeing me like this." Her eyes narrowed. Seeing Ella like a lost puppy must be like watching her favourite movie.
Grr.

Trix was in an observant mood, she had looked around and already spotted that she knew a few of the people here, not that she was going to talk to them. She was doing her duty by helping out her sidekick person. Now there was a question she couldn't properly answer. The teachers decided when lessons were and they were quite spontaneous. "Soon. Very soon in fact" she informed her with a little smile. "It depends on when the Professors feel it best" she continued. Say DADA could be starting first, then Runes or even Potions. No one knew until closer to the time.
