After having left the pathways where he had cursed a Huffie Hyun started to look around for the girl who helped him. Where was she? Argh! Hyun couldn't believe he was actually looking for a girl! Handkerchief in his hand, Hyun walked down the corridor of the courtyard. He looked around at the students and clutched his hand around the kerchief. And try outs where soon! he should really hurry and give it back before the try outs. Finally after some time, Hyun found the girl he need. "ELLIE! YAH ELLIE!" He shouted and waved his arm before running up to her. "Here.." he said and pushed her handkerchief in her left hand. "I found it near the Stomping Willow, i washed it..with magic of course." He stepped next to her and leaned against the wall. "Hows your ankle?"

Fallon smiled. She was kind of glad that this was the person she'd tripped in front of. Even if that was completely embarrassing. She nodded. "I don't know how you feel now, but I used to have that problem." Yeah, she never wanted to go through that again. Fallon giggled. "You're welcome. It's not really that hard to do."

She chuckled. "Well, I was born in Chicago, but my mom and I moved here with my grandparents when I was 11. We moved cuz my parent's got divorced. And then I've kinda been all over the place and don't want to bore you with the details." Yeah, it wouldn't be that fun.

Suddenly Ellie heard someone yelling her name. She looked around and Saw Hyun running towards her and waving his arm around. That made her grin. "Hey Hyun!" she shouted back. When he reached, he put something white in her left hand. "My handkerchief! Oh, thank you Hyun!" She said, giving him a hug. She quickly pulled away, not sure if he was the hugging type. She smiled. It was nice and clean. "Oh, my ankle is fine. The nurse did a fine job at healing it." She said, rolling it around. "And your wrist?" She asked.

Ara gave a quick flash of a fake grin then it quickly vanished. Corvus so deserved that quick reflex of a punch for scaring her and she knew it. "You know exactly what I am talking about when you sneak up and scare the Merlin's beard out of me." Gah! Like, who does things like that?

She then rolled her eyes and sighed to the sunlight statement. "I know that is how you get sunlight but I don't need too much, just a ray or two." She turned her neck from side to side, stretching her shoulders and back, then up went her arms. Every once in a while a popping sound could be heard as her joints were positioned back in place.

"I know you. You will do anything your little Slytherin brain will tell you to do just to succeed in the wizarding world." Her eyes narrowed as she began to smile. "See, we are more alike than you think. I guess that is why we are wearing the green robes instead of some other color." Slytherin fit her style to a T and her father was more than impressed with his wonderful daughter and the House the sorting hat told her she was going to be in.

He raised an eye brow at her before speaking," Scare the Merlin's beard out of you? Really? That's what you come up with. My dead kneazle could of came up with something better. Your out of practice." He informed her as he rubbed his arm a little, fixing his bag on his shoulder.

"A ray or two? Really your lack of intelligence sometimes is depressing. You hardly get any vitamin D from a few rays. You have to be out there for AT LEAST five minutes." He let out a heavy sigh as he worried about his friend sometimes."It doesn't have anything to do with Slytherin. It's called self preservation." It wasn't like Ara wouldn't do the same. He shrugged as she mentioned that they were alike. They were. How else were they friends if they didn't have something in common."Can we go to the Lake now?" He asked her as he added," I want to sketch a few things." He gave her a small smile as he spoke." Please..."

Ara's evil grin vanished as she gave Corvus a look between a blank stare and an evil glare. She was smart, she was beautiful, she had a cute boyfriend and she had Corvus. Hmph. She did adore him to a certain point but there were times were he was like her annoying brother.

"Hey! I'm smart!" She crossed her arms to her chest and looked out through an opened window thingy mah-bobber. Now he was begging her to go to the lake. She tilted her head slightly as her eyes looked back at him. "Fine. I'll go." But then she raised a brow and uncrossed her arms. "Who are you gong to draw?" Not WHAT are you going to draw.

Corvus grinned with such delight at seeing the look on Ara's face. It was the look of OH CRAP! Corvus Bested me again!!! Yes he had. Oh and yes he was about to do it again."Yes. You are Smart. SmartBUTT." He commented as he smiled even more when she said she would accompany him to the Lake. "Sweet." He enjoyed company while he drew. He was sure she would take the opportunity to talk about her new boy toy, but he didn't mind it. He only half listened when he drew.

"Who am I going to draw? I'm not sure. I can draw one of you if you want. HOLD still." he told her as he quickly pulled out his pencil. He drew a quick stick figure with FRIZZY hair that looked much like an Afro. The stick figure had on robes and a dress. He tore it out of his notebook, handing it to her as he smiled." Lets go." He told her as he turned towards the lake." I drew a picture of you so you wont get jealous if i draw someone else." He turned around to face forward as he grinned.

Ara stood still for a moment with a look of disgust on her face. He called her a smartbutt? Well she was but she didn't need him telling her something she already knew. "Takes one to know one," she mouthed back at almost a whisper then stuck her tongue out. Maybe he could capture that in his drawings.

Her fingers reached out for the paper as she looked at it. Another frown. "This is the work of a three year old. I know you can do better than that." And besides... "My hair does not look like that!" Does it? She quickly ran out into the sun where a shadow could be cast, it was her only way of seeing a somewhat reflection of what was going on with her hair. Normal!

"Me? Get jealous? Never!" Would she ever get jealous? Nahhh! She was not the jealous type.

He snorted at her as she called him one. He knew it, she knew it, and they all knew it. He grinned at her when she saw the picture. "Three year old? You couldn't draw that good when you were three." He was very very good at drawing. His father drew and so did his mother. He got both of their good traits." I just thought you would enjoy it." Nah he would enjoy it though.

He stopped walking as he grinned, seeing her go into the light. She was checking her hair as he waited."Nothing is wrong. Lets go!" He asked her as he added." If we don't go we wont be able to get the good shading under the tree. THEN your hair will look like it was fried." He was just trying to help it along.

Was she hugging him? Oh dear merlin she was!! O__o
Hyun was stunned when he felt arms wrap around him and realised that Ellie was hugging him. Hugging him!

Hyun. Did. Not. Like. Hugs.

He weakly tried to push her away without hurting the girl's feelings but couldn't help but send a glare towards her. He caught himself glaring at her and quickly shook his head and took a deep sigh. This wasn't the time to
glare! Hyun get yourself together! "my wrist is fine" he said and rubbed his wrist with his other hand. He felt weird because his arm has been attacked twice while he was at Hogwarts! First that stupid tree and not a few hours ago by an odd hufflepuff guy. Hyun made a mental note that the loyal food people we're in fact ... Evil. He looked around to find something to talk about when he remebered his panic about the try outs. "Are you or have you tried out for the quidditch team?"

Sophia nodded. "I have met a bunch of new people this year." she said, smirking. She sighed and thought of the best way to tell this story without sound melodramatic. "Well, long story short, I had a friend in June who was diagnosed with brain cancer." she said, sighing. "She just passed away." she said, solomly. She could feel tears starting to well up in her eyes, but she blinked them away. "So that's the story." she said, smiling weakly.

When Ellie quickly realeased Hyun she saw his expression. Was he glaring at her? Huh. He obviously didn't like hugs. He told her his wrist was fine. "That's good. Now you'll just have to keep away from that blasted tree." She said with a light laugh.

Ellie frowned at pursed her lips when Hyun brought up quidditch. She sighed heavily. "Nah, I'm not. I was going to, I even signed up but... There's a lot of... stuff going on right now." She looked around awkwardly. Hyun probably didn't want to hear about her family troubles and blah blah blah, so she just left it very vague. She shrugged and looked back at him. "Are you trying out?"

Hyun grinned to himself when he saw the pouted lips of the girl. Maybe she didn't like Quidditch? Hyun doesn't understand how anyone can't like the sport. Oh wait she did want to sign up but couldn't. Why though? This left Hyun curious as he thought about possibilities why she couldn't. Giving up because there were so many ideas in his mind and he thought it was going to explode his brilliant *ahem* head. If the girl wanted to talk about it she could , Hyun wasn't going to ask first.

"Ah, yeah I signed up as chaser or seeker" he said , his grin coming back. "The first try out was horrible though, I couldn't concentrate because I was hungry..." He shook his head in stupidity and grabbed two quill looking feathers out of his pocket that had been sticking out. "want one? It's candy, father send it over with a bunch of other stuff" He waved the. Quill in front of her face and smirked.

Ooc: I had to go to dinner when try outs were ugh.

izzy!!!! ahem i mean Elliott
 

Cassie had just had her last class for the day but wasn't quite ready to go to the hufflepuff common room just yet. With her bag slung over her shoulder she walked slowly along the corridor with no real aim or purpose to it.

She tugged gently on her ponytail occasionally twirling the end around her fingers. She stopped and leaned against the corridor rail and looked out unto the grounds. She had no idea where Lauren was or where Elliott was for that matter. She hadn't seen him since class started. Hmm maybe he was just busy.

Ellie smirked when Hyun grinned. He obviously like Quidditch. But then he told her that he got distracted because he was hungry. She frowned. "Ah, hunger. The greatest distraction of all. Well, there's always another set of tryouts, right?" She said with a nod.

She laughed when he waved the candy Quill in front of her face. She snatched it out of his hand and smiled. "Thanks." She held it up to her mouth, but waited for him to take a bite first. Not that she didn't trust him, she just didn't know what it tasted like...

Elliott was walking along the corridor to the courtyard because.. well, he figured he'd do some of his reading for Muggle Studies done outside. There wouldn't be too many days left to hang out outside, without there being snow, that is. Winter always came so soon.

He walked further through the corridor as his eyes were cast downward, looking in his bag at his side. He sorted through a couple of his notebooks and was making sure that he had his text book with him when suddenly he walked straight into another student. Whoops. "Oh, I'm really sorry --" Oh, well look who it wasss. "Cassie, hey! Where are you off to?"

It wasn't just her right? October was here and it was getting a bit cool. She reached into her back ans dug through her books and other just in case what nots that she always threw in for good measure in search of a thin scarf that would match her school uniforn nicely. The hufflepuff scarf was a bit too thick for an october evening.

Just as she thought she spotted such light grey scarf, she felt someone bump into her. Cassie was about to tell them off real nice when she caught sight of who it actually was. Goood thing she saw before she launched into her tirade. She suddenly forgot about the scarf and the chill and abandoned her bag." hey El. What are you doing out here?" what she really wanted to ask was where the heck he'd been.

Hah. Did Cassie not even hear his question, 'cause she totally disregarded it. Then again, she had probably still been focused on who was the stupid bloke who rammed into her. "I'm just coming out here to get some fresh air while I get the Muggle Studies reading done." The common room was great, but at the moment, it was too noisy for reading. And his dorm was just.. too cooped up and empty. Hence, he was coming to the courtyard.

He closed the flap on his bag and his hands gripped the strap slung across his chest. "What about you?"

Cassie leaned casually against the corridor crossing her legs at the ankles. She had no idea why she did that whenever she leaned but she did. It was just a strange habit of hers. She wondered if anyone else noticed. Oh well, it really didn't matter. They were probably already distracted by her awesomeness and extreme good looks. ;)

Cassie rested her bag next to her crossed feet and pulled the scrunchie from her hair, sending her dark hair down in waves. She couldn't keep her hair in a boring ponytail when a hottie like Elliott was talking to her. Nope, she had to make sure she was looking her best." I'm pretty much doing the same thing actually, except I'm not gonna attempt my muggle studies reading until I get back to my dorm. Where have you been anyways? I haven't seen you since the first week of school." She eyed him." off with the girlies again eh?"

"I knooooow there are so many new cool people",Fee nodded.Like all the tranfers and some of the firsties were pretty sweet too.Hehe.hard to believe the Slytherin had been one of them too only last year.Ohhh nooooo her friend died?This was terrible.Without thinking about it the blonde hugged her friend tightly."Shhhh you can cry",she whispered,"i am here for you."And the girl always would be,that was what friends were for.

Elliott leaned against the wall and mirrored her, crossing his ankles over each other. He, however, crossed his arms as well and gave a smirk.

He listened to her explain her expected routine for studying in her dorm tonight. And then she asked him where he had been. Well.. school, obviously, but she was probably looking for something more specific than that. "I've just been around. Nothing too interesting, to tell you the truth." No news was good news, though.. right? He gave a short chuckle. "Oh, yeah. Got them lining up for me," he added sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, I did not mean to surprise you." Ikenna smoothed things over with a smile as he moved closer and warmly shook Isabelle's hand. "I seem to have an uncanny knack for surprising or...what is the phrase? Creeping out the students?"

He delivered the phrase with such a tone of confusion that it was clearly a joke. Ikenna Gevrik, a creeper?

Never.

"It is nice to meet you as well," he chuckled, raising a brow at her grin. "There are many things we could speak about, I'm sure, beyond just the weather...plenty of topics such as family, friends, relatives...."

Yes, he had read her file. Gevrik was a good student. All good students do their homework.

"It's perfectly alright. I suppose I was in a bit of a daydream." Isabelle was really. The grounds were so nice to look at that she had blanked out what was going on around her. After shaking the man's hand, she placed her cold hands back in her pockets. Creeping out? "Did they actually say that to you?" she laughed gently. "Kids are very bold these days. But I wouldn't say I agree. Quiet and thoughtful," as he appeared to be "don't equal creepy to me," she smiled at him, and leant against the wall. The cold wall.

Family, friends and relatives? Perhaps an odd choice of subject for two strangers to start talking about, but Isabelle felt that Ikenna was sincere in his wish to know. "Alright. Well, I have a sister, Elisabeth. She lives in Canada near our parents, with her husband and two kids. They're, urrrr, having some issues right now though, so I haven't seen them for a little while." Why did she just say that to him? Why did she think he'd be interested in hearing that?! "Do you have any family around, Mr Gevrik?" Yes, change the subject back to him.

"It is easy to lose oneself in such beautiful grounds, I can see that." Ikenna slid his hands into his pockets as well. "Bold is one way to describe them," he also laughed, "but thank you. I always appreciate honesty."

Gevrik was the one man who could spot a liar.

"So you are from Canada as well? How fascinating." He nodded, making eye contact with Isabelle for a moment. "Issues...that would keep an aunt from seeing her nieces and nephews? I am sure it is nothing you did, of course."

He had no family around but could have sensed her desire to change the subject even if he was not making eye contact. "My family is not in Britain, no." Gevrik winked to offset how sad that sounded. "I have many, many friends to keep me company here, however. Good friends."

Putting his hands in the pockets of his robe, Leo grinned. He wanted a banana smiley, if he wasn't so mean he would TAKE her banana smiley. That's how bad he wanted one, of course,Leopold wouldn't steal the banana from the girl. He knew it was mean and rude to steal people's bananas ESPECIALLY when they were using them to make smiles or to even eat.

Leopold couldn't help but snort as the girl spoke, he snorted and then giggled. Yes, that's right...he was a boy and he giggled. Don't judge him. ^___^ "I would hope so..."He said while still walking with her, keeping up with the girl's pace."I'd be a bit CONFUZZLED why you had a banana on your face if you didn't WANT a banana on your face..."Yeah, he would be worried. LUCKILY SHE DID WANT A BANANA IN FRONT OF HER FACE! Leo watched her slowly as she took the banana away from her face.

AND SHE LIKED HIS SLIPPER?! HOW AWESOME WAS THIS GIRL!? SHE SEEMED PRETTY AWESOME!

"THANKS!"Leo said with a proud grin,"My mom got them for me...some where for like Christmas last year...they are really comfy and LOOK!"He stomped his foot on the ground really hard and a loud RAAAAWR erupted from the slipper."Isn't that awesome? I'M Leopold O'Donald by the way, OH MY GOSH! YOU LIKE SPIDERMAN!!!"He was rambling now, rambling while flailing."I LIKE SPIDERMAN TOO!"

OMG. They should be like BFFS.

Leo licked his lips, realizing he was rambling on."Yeah...a fruit face, with blue berries for NOSE!"His voice was much quieter then it was before. He didn't want to appear too crazy.
