"O I know I felt soooo very sorry for him...I don't know what I would do without my wand..." she shivered with just that thought. "And I wonder what he's going to do...." she said shaking her head.

Satine smiled knowing finally what the intent was...wait did she find out the intent...she really wasn't sure..."Good move waving at her." she said smiling at him.

Was she propositioning him? Satine never did that...which would explain the absence of a significant other, but how could you not proposition those blue eyes....o no stop..."Well, yes I guess it is a shame..." she said with a sarcastic tone of her voice....

Yes a huge shame...Satine shook her head.

"Well, I could do with a few more "mostly pretty awesome' peeps as well.." she glanced over his shoulder, "Well that is if it doesn't cause problems with...ummm.." she couldn't remember the name..." Marie?..." she paused and looked at him already knowing that it would cause issues...she could tell...she never understood why girls would glare at other girls when their boyfriend talked to them...I mean if you were worried then why be with them...I mean he was the one that started it the looking and the coming over and the whispering...and...o goodness...Satine focused back...

"O purple...well it's my fave color and I like to be eclectic....plus it's hard to forget..." she said with an overexaggerated smile....she didn't go into the whole story because she really wasn't sure if he was truly interested in hearing it.


"Well it sounds like a date..." she stuttered..."I mean not a date but you know a date...we'll have to have a picture showing party..." wow Satine that was lame....

She smiled again at Big G and then back at Jimmy, "Well I appreciate you stoping by and saying hi...hope to do it again...soon is preferred..." without having daggers thrown at me by your girlfriend...she just kept repeating he started it. She smiled and held up her hand for a high five...

Right. Of course Marie would not want anything to eat right now. What had Mia been thinking? If that was Nik over there talking to another, she was sure she wouldn't want to go and eat something either. Actually Mia, would probably be over there as well...

"Um...Marie. Why don't you go over there? Don't you want to meet Jimmy's friends?"

But it seemed that Finn was already a step ahead. Mia couldn't help but beam at her friend. He was such a good boy. Such a shame that he had a girlfriend. Maybe he and Marie could....

Mia was feeling slightly awkward standing here with Marie silently fuming, Finn had left them and now Jimmy was waving to her. She automatically raised her hand and gave him a tentative wave back. She hadn't missed the grin he gave her and she made sure not to look at Marie.

Awwwkwwwaaaaard!!!

Big G. Haha. Oh yes. His nickname. Finn laughed, grinning at Satine. Awesome. He had kind of forgotten about that. "Hey..." Although he was hoping that He wouldn't have to explain it to Jimmy. Though, that could have been quite an amusing conversation, maybe when they were back in the dorms. That'd work.

But right now....he was going to attempt to at least get Jimmy to remember his girlfriend, who didn't look very happy at all, and the last thing that Finlay wanted was a big fight in the library, however amusing that would be. Well...as long as it wasn't Finn in the middle of the fight, that would not be cool. He really didn't want to be bruised again. Not when his face was looking much more pretty now. Finn grinned at Jimmy again. "It's all goood." Expect that Jimmy was probably going to get a mouthful when he got back to Marie. Maybe Mia and Finn could stick around to hear it. It would be funny.

Oh. Now he'd seen that Marie was there Finlay. "Probably a good idea." He spoke, in response to the idea of going. Maybe then he could nudge Jimmy and tell him to pay more attention to his girlfriend. Finn glanced behind him, smiling at both the girls. "I'm coming." He mused, because well he needed to back to Mia?? "See ya Satine." He waved at her, before turning around.

Well this day was just getting better and better here. Not only was James whispering in that girls ear but now she was whispering back... and with that look on her face it appeared as if she was FLIRTING! Was that girl trying to get her nose broke? Cuz really, Marie had no problem with showing the girl that James was NOT available to other girls.

Just as she was about to head over there Finn said he would be right back. He then went over to Jim and the girl. Maybe he would knock some sense into his friend over there... before she had to go knock something into someone herself.

Marie pulled her gaze away from the scene in front of her completely missing it when James waved and grinned at her when Mia asked why she wasn't over there. "Of course I want to meet his friends Mia but apparently he doesn't want me to meet them." Well at least not the female ones anyway. "We were getting ready to leave when he just left me here so he could go say hi to his friend. Looks to me like there's a little more going on over there than just saying hi to someone." She said glancing back over now noticing for the first time that he had pulled himself away from the purple head. About time he came to his senses.

Watching him and Finn start to walk away she pushed off the wall. Yeah, this would be interesting to see what he had to say when he got back over to her.

Anna brought her book and parked it in a window seat. It was a potions book. She liked potions they were fun. She opened it and the pages were so dusty she sneezed.

Entering, Elle took a seat by the Stained Glass Windows. She sat like a true lady and opened her book.

Anna saw a girl sit close by. She was sitting so peculiarly that Anna had to hold in a laugh. She HAD to talk to this girl "Hi," She said her voice high with repressed laughter. "I'm Anna. How are you?" She smiled.

(OOC: Not being mean.)

Trina was wandering the shelves of books when a glint of color caught her eye. Walking toward it, Trina stopped and gasped as she saw one of the most beautiful stained glass windows she had ever seen. Looking left and right to make sure she wasn't going to run into anyone, Trina climbed up onto the window seat to look at the beautiful glass, depicting a dragon circling a mountain.

"Wow," she breathed, moving her fingers over the colored glass.

Ella was sitting down by one of window seats, gazing at the stained glass windows. She had been here for about 10 minutes now, and rather than reading a book like most others would do, she just stared at Merlin. Merlin was her favourite historical wizard, with Harry Potter being at a close second. But with how often she referred to Merlin's outstanding beard, he sort of HAD to be her favourite.

She was completely oblivious to anyone else around her, until she heard somebody nearby mutter something. It could've been a ghost, and Ella's trance ended quickly and her eyes darted to the side. "Oh. You scared me." Hmm... Ella was pretty sure that this girl had no idea she was sitting there either. As she spoke, her voice interrupted the peace immediately and now the moment was over. Great.

Wow. Sometimes Ella thought she had a problem with this kind of thing. She always got too fascinated by stupid/random things. But she didn't think this area was stupid. It was prettyyyy!

Trina jumped as she heard a voice and smiled kindly as she saw a girl one window over. "Sorry, I saw this window and I just couldn't help but come over!" she said with a smile as she studied the design again. "The amount of detail and care that must have gone into making it is simply astounding!" she said, bouncing off the window and going to the girl. She looked up at the window that she was sitting at and smiled.

"I like this one too! Can't be anyone else but Merlin!" she said, touching a corner of the glass. "Do you have a favorite out of the pieces?" she asked the girl.

Ella fought back her irritation and smiled back at the girl. She was trying to turn over a new leaf, after all. But being nice was kinda difficult. "I know, they are amazing." She commented, looking back towards the works of art. She did wonder if they actually did take long to make, or if a sneaky witch or wizard used magic. That would really tarnish the illusion. She smiled once again when the girl joined her properly. It was nice to meet someone who appreciated pretty things like she did! Most students only cared about lounging on a couch with a pumpkin juice. Lazy so'n'so's. Back to the conversation, "I've come here every year since I started." It definitely proved that Ella enjoyed peace and quiet.

"Yeah, this is my favourite one." Her eyes averted back to the Merlin piece. Of course, they were all pretty, but Merlin's Beard, Merlin was great. Hehehhh! "What's yours?" Ella was genuinely interested.

"My name's Ella, by the way." She smiled at the clearly younger girl.

Trina was completely oblivious to the girl's irritation, she was too entranced by the windows. She studied each of the panels, looking at how the metal held each piece of the puzzle together. Trina gently touched the panels of glass before following the metal with her finger.

She looked over and smiled at the older girl as she joined her. "Oh really? What year are you?" Trina had never been a good judge of age- although she could tell this girl was older than her. She sat down across from her- but not too close so as not to violate the other girl's personal boundaries. "This is my first year here- we didn't use the same terminology for each level," she explained. "Nor did we have houses," she said, indicating the badge on her robes. "I'm still getting used to it all!" she added, laughing.

She looked up at the girl's favorite, the Merlin piece. "It's absolutely wonderful," she said, smiling at the girl. She studied it silently for a moment- a rare occasion for her- and looked back at the girl. "I have no idea- I've only just seen these two," she said, glancing down the row at the ones that she had yet to see. "Oh! I'm Trina," she said with a warm smile to the girl. "Nice to meet you Ella!"

"Sixth." Ella said absently, staring forwards at the window directly in front of her. Err, "I mean, seventh." She shook her head. Gah! It took a bit of taking used to, fersureeee! Especially when she wasn't even supposed to be at school this year. Annoying. "What year are you?" She returned the question, as you do. Ella giggled. "Yeah, Hogwarts really is... something special." Probably the most well-furbished school out of the lot! It felt almost like an honour to study here. Although that sounded totally stupid.

Ella nodded. All of the witches and wizards were really interesting to look at. Especially when they were all stained-glass-window-y. "Nice to meet you too, Trina." Ella grinned, then dug into her bag for a chocolatey treat. This happened on a daily basis for Ella. Quite unhealthy really. "Do you want a chocolate frog?" She offered one out to Trina.

"What house are you in?" Ella didn't think she had seen her around the common room. But then again, she never dawdled too long in the common room herself.

Trina was not phased by the difference between their ages. She had talked to so many people that age didn't really matter. "I'm in..." she took a moment to think about it. "Fourth- fourth year," she said with a small smile. "I'm still getting used to it."

She nodded in agreement. "It's a lot different from where I went to school before. It's a lot bigger, and it's a CASTLE!" she said with a broad grin. A few students that were studying looked over at her loud tone. Wincing she lowered her voice. "It's awesome!"

At the offer of the treat, she nodded once. "Thank you," she said, taking the chocolate frog from the girl. These weren't often seen at home either- but her cousins and mom had sent them, to the joy of her classmates. "I love these things," she said, before slipping it into her mouth. "Do you collect the cards?"

She finished chewing before answering. "Gryffindor," she said with a small smile. "I haven't really gotten a chance to see where the names come from yet- they're all quite interesting. What House are you in?" she asked, setting back in the window again.

Hehe. Ella could tell that she had to think about that. It was same thing that happened when she said her own year. Confusion. "Awesome. It does take a lot of getting used to." Ella informed her. This was her third year here now, and there were still places that propped up out of nowhere. Like a never-ending maze. "I started in my fifth year." If she started from her first year, then she would probably know every little crack in the wall of the school.

"Where did you go to school?" Maybe it was the same school that she went to. If it was, then Ella didn't blame Trina for leaving. She laughed when Trina raised her voice, in the LIBRARY. That is always fun. Being loud in the library, and all. "It isssss big. Those founders had one hell of a job to do." She did wonder, did those founder actually build this school?

"No problem." Ella didn't mind sharing her chocolate frogs. Her supply was so massive, it made no difference. "I have a collection at home!" She blurted out rather enthusiastically. OWH, embarrassing! "Er, but I don't collect them anymore. It gets boring." That sounded a lot more cool. "Who did you get?" On her card, she meant.

Nope, not a Hufflepuff. Where were the Hufflepuffs? Had Ella even met one before?? "Awesome. I'm a Slytherin." Ella liked Gryffindors. But then again, she was being biased. Because Aiden was a Gryffindor.

*sniff*

"That's for sure," Trina said, nodding eagerly. "There has been so much to adjust to. Not to mention all of the different places that I get lost in," she added with a soft laugh. She had been late to a few of her classes, but the new places she had found had been fun. "Oh really? Where did you transfer from?" she asked, curious.

"My Dad's American, so I was staying with him on the East coast- there's a school there that I went," she explained. She smiled sheepishly as Ella laughed. She did tend to get over-excited, not that it ever stopped her from being excited again. "It's huge! There are so many places that I have explored already..." she trailed off as she looked toward the window again. "There's something new each time I turn around!"

She smiled at Ella's excitement. "That's cool! I do too! Although since I didn't get as many chocolate frogs it isn't too big- my mom used to send them over," she explained. "Boring? But they're so cool!" she exclaimed, holding up her card to the sun. The figure inside, an older woman, winced at the bright light. "Queen Maeve," she said, handing the card over to Ella so she could see. "It says she trained young sorcerers in Ireland." (ooc: yes, I googled one!)

"Slytherin... oh, you're the green and silver house? With the snake?" she asked. Then, she paled. "I thought most Slytherins hated Gryfindors," she said softly.

"I think they add something new every year." Ella got that impression when she heard about the new playing field in the grounds. In replacement of the Giant Treehouse. *sniff*
"Beauxbatons." She said drearily. It was obvious that she hated it, so Ella began the explanation that she was oh so very used to explaining. "I got kicked out in my fourth year." Blah blah blah. She almost spoke it like she was bored now. Everyone asked about it.

Oooh, an American school? "That sounds cool. Yeah, I bet it was very different to this school then." America and the UK were such different places. Ella nodded. One place she'd love to explore was the Forbidden Forest. Although it was impossible, which kind of annoyed Ella.

Oh, she did too. That made her sound a little less dweeby. Ella shrugged, "eh, they do get a little boring after a while." Especially when you had someone as obsessed with chocolate frogs as Ella. "I tended to get the same ones over and over. So I eventually gave up." She literally tossed the cards away and went straight to the chocolate. NOMMMMY! Queen Maeve. Ella had her. "Cool. That's quite a good one." Not too rare, but not too common. (ooc: hahahah XD)

"That would be us." She grinned. Oh, yes. Ella was very proud to be a Slytherin. She would never fit into any other house. She laughed at Trina's theory. "I thought so too. But that's not really the case these days." She shrugged. In her time here, she hadn't seen any Lion!Snakey angst anyway.

"Oh wow," Trina's eyes widened in delight. She had 3 more years here- she couldn't help but wonder what new things would be instilled. "What things were here before? Or do they keep the old things and just add on?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.

She cocked her head to one side. Ella's tone as she said the school caught in Trina's mind, and she wondered if she could even ask about what happened. "Do you mind if I asked what happened? I mean, you don't have to tell me... it sounds like you don't want to," she said with a shrug. "I'm sure it was much different from Hogwarts though- although I've only heard a little bit about the school itself," she rambled.

"Quite," she said, nodding in agreement. "For one, my old school wasn't a castle!" she said, her grin broad. "Have you explored this place a lot?" she asked the girl, arranging some pillows so that she could lay back on them slightly.

Trina nodded in understanding. There were cards that she and her friends had collected while in America, and she knew how the common cards would pop up ALL the time. She hadn't even known what to do with them all. "Thanks!" she said, looking at the Card again. "I'm not even sure if I have this one or not..." she said, shrugging as she put it aside. "If you need it, you are welcome to it," she added.

The Gryffindor listened quietly and nodded in understanding as the older girl spoke. "Well that's good to know, I've probably crossed that line quite a few times without knowing it," she said with a grin. After all, she was talking to Ella now.

"Well, they had a Giant Treehouse last year." Ella was not pleased with the fact that it had disappeared this term. She didn't even like the thought of a 'Playing Field' or whatever it was called. "And they had an awesome jungle gym once... I wish that they kept them." Hogwarts would be even better with it all. She only wondered what was there before she was a student here.

Ella sighed, but smiled. She didn't want to give off angry fumes or anything. "It's fine, I don't mind telling you." She told the rest of the school, anyway. "I didn't have many friends at Beauxbatons, so I decided to get my own back on a couple of bullies." Ugh, stupid memories of those stupid people. "I broke into the Potion master's office, stole ingrediants for a Polyjuice Potion, then used it, then got kicked out." She said it in a time line sort of way. Ella grinned. She was proud of her achievement.
"Oh, yes. Totally different. For starters, the students aren't snobs." Ella giggled.

Not many schools were castles. This one was sooo out of the norm! "I explore it all the time! It's fun!" And she always found somewhere new. It was totally different to boring old Beauxbatons.

Ella smiled, but shook her head when she offered her the card. "No, no. I already have that one." And like she said, she didn't collect them much anymore. They were just cards with faces on them. Boooooooooring! "You keep it, or just get rid of it." Like she was going to do with her card. Pshh, she hadn't even looked to see who it was!

Hehe. Trina looked really interested by this point. Maybe she was genuinely afraid of Slytherins. Eh, it wasn't difficult to be. "I wouldn't worry about it. I certainly like Gryffindors." SIIIIGH. AIDEN!

"A TREEHOUSE!?!" Trina exclaimed, her eyes wide. That would have been AMAZING. "But it's not here any more, is it?" she asked, pouting slightly. She was sad to have missed it. Part of her wished that she had come to Hogwarts one year sooner. "And a Jungle Gym? I can't believe I missed all of this!" she said with a laugh, a few people that were studying giving her looks. She sighed and calmed herself down.

Trina listened quietly as Ella explained. "That's... kind-of awesome," she said with a lopsided grin. "I'm nowhere near that good at potions to make a Polyjuice," she said, shaking her head. "Did you do anything while under the potion? Or did they just find you making it?" she asked, putting her chin onto her knees. "Well, a snob-less school is always good," she said with a nod. "There were a few of those back at home," she said with a frown. "But only a few."

"Oh? Anywhere that you recommend? Or that is your favorite?" she asked the girl, excitement shining in her eyes. "I mean, the Great Hall is amazing, but everyone goes there! And I can't believe its taken me so long to find these windows!" she added, looking up at the depiction of Merlin once more.

She shrugged. "I'm not truly worried. I can talk myself out of most situations- and I have enough skill with a wand to get out of others. But I have yet to encounter such a situation," she added with a soft laugh. Really, she had only just arrived. She hadn't made any enemies and didn't plan to.

"Shhhhhh." Ella's eyes darted around to see if anyone was in here. This was a library, after all. Thankfully, it was next to empty. Now that the coast was clear, she giggled. "Yeah. The treehouse was amazing, but yeah, it's gone now." Ella frowned. She had memories at that treehouse. It became such an awesome quality of Hogwarts, that she saw it as the next Whomping Willow! "Totally! But I guess we need to have fun at school." Muggle schools got playgrounds, so this was the same thing. Only it was better here.

Ella grinned widely. Usually people were weirded out whenever she explained this story, but Trina seemed to applaud her for it. Hehe. "Oh, yeah. I changed myself into this girl -" A stupid snobby girl that hated Ella. ".. And I caused loads of trouble.. to get her into trouble." Things such as... abusing teachers, abusing her friends, etc. "But it wore off when I was arguing with the charms professor." Mmmhm. Awkward stuff.
"Yup. I have a bit of a problem with snobs." Euuuugh. -_____-

Hmmmm, where to recommend? Well, she would have said the Treehouse buuuuuuuut.. "Here is a favourite place of mine, I also think the Whomping Willow and the lake are amazing." Being pretty was the main thing. The school didn't have anything super fun anymore.
Hehe. "Well, people wouldn't really expect something like this to be in a library." Ella commented. She didn't like reading in here much, but she was glad that she discovered these windows.

Skill with a wand? Ahaha. "Well, I'd be careful, if I were you." Come to think of it, there were a few people that Ella would not say were nice. Memories from last year spread into her mind. "Actually, come to think of it, not all Slytherins are nice." She chuckled.

Trina smiled sheepishly, instantly closing her mouth at her friend's hushings. Luckily, no one had taken notice or were upset at her exclamation. "I quite agree! Fun is simply meant to be had!" Trina had always encouraged her group to go out and relax, especially after tests and hard papers were done and over with. They had had fun, doing a variety of things to relax or simply just playing pranks or sneaking into the kitchens. She would have to find if the kitchens were so lenient here.

She could feel her smile widening as Ella went into more depth with her story. "That's genius," she said softly, listening as Ella continued. However, as Ella revealed how she was caught, Trina winced. "Well that truly stinks. Shame you didn't have just a few more minutes... although it also means that you came here," Trina pointed out with a smile. The good and bad of every situation. "And rightly so! And that will prevent you from ever becoming one," she added.

"Whomping Willow?" she asked, cocking her head to one side. "What's that?"

Trina nodded, intending to take Ella's advice. "Oh, I won't go looking for trouble," she promised. The problem would be if trouble came to find her. "Well, I'm sure not all Gryffindors, Hufflepoofs, and Ravendraws are so innocent either," she said, unknowingly messing up the other two house names.

Elle looked up from her book, wondering who was laughing. It was a girl. Was she laughing at her? What for? Anyway, she couldn't think ill without getting to know this girl.

Smiling weirdly with a confused look on her face, she responded, "Elizabeth Woods. First Year Slytherin. Nice to meet you Anna,"

"Oh, I'm just reading my book.. And occasionally being awed by the Stained Glass," She laughed.

Ella giggled at Trina now being quiet. She had never gotten into trouble in the library before, so she had no idea whether the librarian was nice or not. Eh, she wasn't in the mood to find out really. "Especially in OWL & NEWT year." Which Trina didn't need to worry about until next year. But UGH! Her OWLs were horrendous. And now it was her NEWT year, flippin' wonderful.

"Thanks very much." If she were standing, she would have bowed down. Heh. "It does not suck. I got lucky when they kicked me out." The only downside is that it would probably stay on her permanent record. Well, at least she was getting on well at Hogwarts! "Indeeeed." Ella grinned. If she hadn't come to this school, get away from the snobs or met Aiden, her life would be utter hell right now. Okay, she always thought the worst...

o________O

"You don't know what the Whomping Willow is?!" Ella was shocked, then she shook her head in disapproval. Now, how could she describe the awesome tree? "It's basically a huge tree that moves and kills people who get too close." Maybe not KILL, but certainly whomp a fraction or two. "You gotta see it, it's cool." Ella confirmed with a nod.

Ella nodded and smiled. Well, only an idiot would go looking for trouble around a school that were learning about magic.. You could get yourself into many prickly situations! Hufflepoofs and Ravendraws, eheheheheh!
"You're right there," she reminisced back to her sixth year. "One of my worst enemies is a HufflePOOF." But then again, who would want to be friends with a Hufflepuff?

"It is pretty amazing isnt it?" She said brushing the tips of her fingers over the frame of the window. "What are you reading?" She pointed to Elizabeth's book.
