"Cool I have the new Nimbus I got it for my birthday." she said and then asked "So do you have a boyfriend?"

Arabella-Marie grinned and said "That is cool and nope i do not have a boyfriend yet" Arabella-Marie was just still a bit too shy around boys to actually think about dating them

"Okay. Well that s understandable. Maybe I can introdcue you to one of my guy friends he is a second year too."

Arabella-Marie blushed and said "Eh ok sure Rene" Arabella-Marie wasn't quite sure what to do about it

Beth frowned at the strange liquid she was being offered and nodded.
"Does it actually taste like pumpkin?" she asked, poaring some and taking a sip before Emily had a chance to answer. "Actually, I don't think I have ever tasted pumpkin before so it wouldn't make any difference. Its nice anyhow. And as for sitting at the wrong table I just followed all of the other people with Gryffindor ties on." Beth glanced up the other three huge table which were rapidly filling up and she suddenly realised how many students there really were at Hogwarts.

"OKay but if your not sure you dont have to. He is really nice but Im not pushing it' she said calmly looking at her and the way she looked taken in shock

Arabella-Marie smiled and said "I will have a think about it Rene and then i will decide and i will tell you then"

Lilyana smiled. Pandora was funny. So, where are you from? She asked.

Elyon smiled. Maybe this girl could help her with it! She seemed like she knew a lot about it, she could be a great help! "Could you tell me more about it? I don't want to have to wait all the way until my next class! Or anything about the Wizarding World in general!" She was itching to know more about magic. Growing up with muggles made her feel like she'd been on a deserted island her whole life. Her smile disappeared when Kurumi explained her situation with her mum. She nodded. Story of my life. "I know exactly how you feel. My dad's really open to my brother and I being magic, but Mum....." She trailed off, not wanting talk about it anymore. Maybe another day she could cry her heart out to Kurumi, but she'd just arrived at Hogwarts, and she was determined to make sure that nothing was going to dampen her spirits.

Kurumi smiled gently at the younger boy. Yep, Kurumi knew exactly how he felt. Last year, she had made a total fool of herself at the Gryffindor table because of her shyness. Thank Merlin that a year at Hogwarts had helped her overcome that a bit. "It's OK to be nervous," she smiled. "I'm Kurumi." She charmed the cookie twirl around on the table a few times in an attempt to make him smile a bit. "What's your name?"


Kurumi opened her mouth to explain that she really was no expert on the wizarding world yet outside of what she had read in books, but instead began to frown at Elyon's fake bravery. It was the sort of fake bravery that Kurumi and clung to for most of her first year - not allowing herself to get upset about her past, putting it all behind her, not allowing herself to go down that path. Eventually, she had broken down, in the middle of the Gryffindor common room no less, and had brought lots of unwanted attention onto her self as a dozen Gryffindors saw her cry. Thankfully, Adam had been there. It was important to have someone to talk to. "You don't need to pretend to be brave when it comes to matters of the family," Kurumi whispered with a sincere smile dancing across her face. "Trust me when I say, it doesn't make you feel any better." Kurumi took another sip of pumpkin juice and offered a goblet of it to her fellow Gryffindor. "We can talk in the girls' dormitory later."

Sebastian nodded, knowing that is probably would be a big job to do. Although, it did sound like fun. "So what year are you in?" He asked curiously. Wait, did he already ask that question? ....He wasn't so sure but shook it off, knowing that Sophie would probably just point it out to him or something. He looked around as all the students talked to one another and then he heard Sophie's voice again, turning his attention back to her. Bastian? Hmm, he hadn't had that nickname before, so why not? At least this nickname wasn't embarassing! "Sure, I'm just glad you didn't tell me that I was the crab from the muggle movie The Little Mermaid." He chuckled and ran a hand through his hair.

Then he started to get nervous, why was he getting nervous? Well because he had held onto her hand for too long and she didn't seem bothered by it but...it was just strange. "If I'm being honest here," He started, "usually I start off with a girl by being this handsome, flirty guy. However you're different and I don't feel like I need to do that, not that I wouldn't, but I don't know, it's strange." He started to trail off and he mentally blushed. "Sorry, rambling about nothing really." He scratched his arm and took another sip of the juice.

AWKWARRRDDDDD.

Sophie then started asking questions about Pisa and Sebastian nodded. "Yes, it is certainly beautiful there and about the tower, I'm not so sure. I move alot seeming as my father is in the muggle military, so I don't really keep up with what's in Pisa." He shrugged. A little bit saddening, really.

"OKay that is not problem. I didnt mean to ofend you" she said flashing a friendly smile

"That's cool. I have to admit though I am nervous about classes. I mean it is so different from what I learned growing up. I mean I grew up in a magic household, but I've never even used my wand." It was true. The wand holster that was on Selina was burning up from the anticipation of being used.

Elyon sighed with relief and gave Kurumi a greatful smile. She didn't know how strong she could be when it came to her family issues. Kurumi was right, it certainly didn't make her feel good pretending she was fine. She started to feel better already, knowing she could get it all out later. As long as it wasn't now. Tears weren't something she wanted to deal with infront of her new house mates. She took the goblet of pumpkin juice and took a sip. "Thanks. I'm really glad you understand." She'd never really talked to Christopher about it, but she could tell they were going through the same thing. Kurumi was being a really good friend to her.

"I'm from the wonderful world of...," she paused for dramatic effect, taking another drink of the pumpkin juice, "Ottery St. Catchpole. We've got that nice river front view going on." Pandora did a view movements with her hands to help emphasize her point. Her family's home was a few feet away from the Otter River, being a few miles North of the Burrow. "And what 'bout you? From what magical land do you hail from?"

Christopher slid into a seat next to Selina. He was glad to have another friend in his house. He hoped she would be on the Quidditch team. "Hey Selina! Congratulations on Gryffindor! You're officially a lion now!" He smiled and took a sip of pumpkin juice from his goblet.

Selina looked over to the person who had taken the vacant seat beside her. All night long students had been moving from seat to seat in the hopes of seeing friends. In all honesty Selina had done the same to visit her other friend's at other tables. When she looked at the new seat holder she saw Christopher, the lovely boy she had met on the train. The pair of them had gotten on quite well, of course he seemed to really have a liking to Violet. Who could blame him? She was quite wonderful and Selina was glad to be her best mate.

"Hello Christopher! And thanks, I guess you two, but that point is kind of void. So you ready for term?"

Jamie smiled and was happy that Sophie was reassuring her about the sorting. Still she had really wanted to be with the Gryffindor's and follow her dads footsteps. She nodded and smiled smally,"Thank you Sophie."



Eat people, oh that was the lest of her worries. She was just scared she wouldn't be able to live up to what is expected of a Slytherin. Jamie looked up at the prefect. She smiled and said,"Well it's just that... my dad was in Gryffindor and I was hoping to follow his footsteps but I guess I can give being a Slytherin a try. Who knows, maybe it'll be the house for me after all." She looked back over at her own table and then she looked back at him. "I already met a few of them. They all seem nice and welcoming And I made at least one friend that I can see myself talking to for the next seven terms." She smiled smally, "I don't know. Maybe it's just me judging a book by the cover."

Bravely Bold Sir Robin was well aware he was a menace to his owner. It wasn't his fault that they seemed to be vastly incompatible. After all, his name sounded more like a Gryffindor would pick than a Slytherin. It wasn't surprising, considering who had suggested the name. The ferret swerved around the legs underneath the table, brushing a calf here and there for the pure joy of feeling them jolt up in surprise.

Content, he chuckled, finally reaching a familiar pair of knobbly knees. Robin jumped up to Greer's lap, quickly popping his head out between her arms to STARE at the male she was speaking to. To him, he wrinkled his wet nose.

WHO ARE YOU?

" Well, you will find him" Rex told Simon. " Simon, I am in my seventh year" Rex said to him." There are a lot of great people in Gryffindor" Rex explained to Simon.

Elyon sat down next to Christopher, who was talking to Selina. It was like a little party of people she knew! "Hey Christopher, hey Selina!" She grinned at her brother, proudly wearing her new Gryffindor uniform. He hoped he was proud of her, she really looked up to him.

"Elyie!" Selina said. She was so happy to see her new roommate. The two girls got on very well and she liked her a lot. She hoped that this year they would grow a friendship that would grow very close. They would be with each other often so being good friends would not only be helpful with classes, but it would give her someone to talk to.

"How are you?"

Coraline smiled, this girl seemed to be nice, at least she hadn't bumped into a bully of anything, that wouldn't be a good sight if she did, who knows what would have happened, something bad probably, and oh no, then she would have to go home and will never be able to go back to hogwarts again, this was bad, but at least that didn't happen, "y-ye-yeah, I never knew it would b-be this crowed" she said looking around, it's very crowded that someone could get hurt and then someone will have to go home, oh how Coraline was the worrier, "i'm C-Coraline Riddle, nice to bump into you t-too" she giggled, Coraline already knew that she was going to get long with this girl, unless, oh no, she was a bully in disguise! she smiled as she saw Kurumi bow down, was she from out of town? cause if she was that would be so cool, Cora lived in england and she was bored of that place so it would be nice to go somewhere better, she shook Kurumi's hand and let go.

Sophia grinned as she watched him sit down. "Nice to meet you too." she said, happily. It was nice to be thinking about someone other than Alexandra. "Third year. You are older than me." she said, chuckling a little bit. "I am a second year." she said. She was a second year even though she was older than most of the people in second year. She would turn 13 in a matter of months.

"No, I'm not from England." she said, smiling. "I am from Venice, Italy, which is the best place on the planet in February." she said. The thought of Carnival made her a little home sick. She wouldn't be home for it this year, and it was her favorite holiday. "Where are you from?" she asked. She was dreadful at detecting accents.

"Awesome, I'm having a great time at the feast! Can't wait for classes to start!" She really was! She couldn't wait to go through Hogwarts with her new friend for seven more years. She hoped they would become closer and closer each day. She need a best friend to talk to, study with, hang out with, and joke with, and Selina would probably be that girl. Elyon couldn't hide her grin just thinking about it.
