Rosemary waved to Ariadne with a warm smile, she'd gotten to like her very much after talking to her so much about her Great Grandmother that it fuelled her to find out more.

"ROSE i missssedd youu." Ember hugged Rose. "whatz up ginge." Ember grinned at the comment. She loved her best mate, without rose, Ember decided that Hogwarts wouldnt be half of what it was. "I cannot wait to make the teachers squeal in misery."

'Oh, yeah! We're gonna make their lives a living hell!' Rose grinned 'What lessons are you gonna take?' Rose asked. She wanted to do at least some of the same lessons as Ember.

" hmmmmmmmm welll im thinking the usual ones like, Potions, DATDA, Herbology, Divination, uh charms, Astronomy, transfiguration, flying, Arithmacy. yer, i think, alot ino, itgs the ravenclaw in me." Ember griinnned.

'I'm planning to take Potions, Transfiguration, Charms, Flying, DADA and History of Magic!' Rose said 'I used to love muggle history, so magical history must be much awesomer!' Rose grinned.

Ember gasped. "How could i have forgotten History of magic, add it to the list. I smell mayhem. And its coming from us." Ember couldnt wait for the lessons to begin. Her and Rose were going to have so much fun.

"Hello Ember and Rose. I'm quite well. How about yourselves?" Jordan replied sitting across from Rose and Ember.

"How's Ravenclaw holding up for you, Ember?"

Nika blew a piece of hair out of her eyes as she watched the rest of the table. Hmph. Either everyone ignored her OR she just wasn't loud enough. Here goes another try, "HIYA GRYFFIES!" She said once more, but this time twice as loud. There, thata do it.

"Hi!" Tayla said, sitting down next to Ari. She put some pancakes on her plate as well. "That is awesome!" Tayla exclaimed, seeing what Ari was doing with her pancakes. "You know, I do that, too. Eat my pancakes with maple syrup and then chocolate syrup and if we have some, honey. Don't you just love pancakes?" Tayla grinned and took her first bite . For a tall slim girl, she loved food. "Yum!"

'Hey, Jordan, we're just speaking about lessons, which ones are you gonna take?' Rose asked.

'Well, if that's what mayhem smells like, it stinks!' Rose tried to decipher where the smell was coming from... She thinks she can smell it from upstairs!

It had really been a while since Alicia was here at Hogwarts. She entered the Great Hall and spotted her friend, Nika. She didn't change that much, neither was Allie. "NIKA!!!!!!!!" A big excited smile appeared in her face as she ran toward her friend sitting at the Gryffindor House Table and hugged her immediately.

The Gryffies table.Maybe the blonde would find William here?They havent had met up since the feast and Fee was slighty worried because Hugo and Willy kinda got into a fight about her.Why couldnt they just get along?Seriously,they both were cool guys they should get along.Siiigh.This was sooo difficult.Sitting down on the Slytherin poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice.Hopefully she would find someone to talk to soon.It was a beautiful day and spending it on your own would be like wasting it.Nooot cool.

Boy, Zara sure was hungry. As she entered the Great Hall, she instantly marched her way towards the Gryffindor House Table. Food became her main attraction right now, she hardly saw anyone she walked pass through. There were a lot of seats not yet taken, the others were probably asleep or done eating. Oh who cares? Zara wanted food, and that was all that mattered right now.

She got herself a plate and stared at the food that sat in front of her. They sure were a lot. AGH. She had to eat now. NOW. Zara got a lot of stuff on her plate. Of course, there was the usual fluffy buttermilk pancakes, link sausage and eggs. And Zara got some pumpkin juice, the best juice ever especially for breakfast. Plus, she had a Treacle Tart. She got some golden syrup and black treacle to go with her tart, rock cake too. Also, hungry as she was, she also got ham sandwiches and butter croissants. As if the food she got wasn't enough, Zara also added some breakfast potatoes and steamed oats. Then, satisfied as she was to her choice of food for the day, she began eating.

Nessie walked in the hall quite late. She had just been to the library and wasn't really that hungry. She didn't have much of an appetite over the past few days and didn't eat much. Nessie was just about to go sit at the Huffie table when she saw Zara sitting alone and then realised nearly the whole hall was empty. "ZARA!!!" she said sitting next to her and giving her a hug. She didn't want to comment on her plate but it was overpacked with food. Nessie took one pancake and put it on a plate, starting to nibble away.

As she was about to take a huge bite out of her fluffy buttermilk pancakes, Zara looked up to see who had called her. Nessie was back from the library. "NESSIE!" she shouted from her seat, her voice a bit muffled because she was chewing a mouthful of link sausages. Realizing this, Zara quickly reached out for her goblet and gulped down pumpkin juice. Then she hugged Nessie.

Nessie was now sitting right next to her. "Sorry about that," she said, placing her hand through her hair. "I woke up so early and am only eating now. So..tadaa!" Pointing to the food on her plate which still looked a lot though she has eaten halfway through it. Still, she wasn't full, not even close to being full. Zara grinned, then began eating again.

"Hey...Za...ra..." Tayla replied, trying to catch her breath. She sat down beside Zara and drank a glass of pumpkin juice. "That's good!" she said happily. "Ari and I had pancakes a while ago, and then I went exploring around Hogwarts - started to anyway."

Tayla's voice was full of excitement. She took the opportunity to speak while Zara was chewing her food. "I started with a dark corridor down to the left of the entrance hall. I even got to do a bit of magic! Just the one for light. But it felt good. I didn't stay long though. I think it was the dungeons. So cold and creepy." Tayla took another gulp of pumpkin juice. "And then next I went to the other side, down the staircase to the right. It was so bright and I found this painting and got to the Kitchen. And this house elf came up to me and gave me a chocolate-frog cookie! It was so delicious! I want to take you and Ari there some time soon."

Tayla grinned wider and chuckled at how talkative she was at the moment. She loved the castle and couldn't wait to explore some more.

"So, what have you been up to?"

Nessie giggled and smiled Zara always made evryone around her happy. "It ok I understand" said Nessie smiling again. "Nessie looked at her plate which was still filled with food and got even less hungry. She just didn't seem to be enjoying food these days and she used to have to force herself to eat. She had just finished her first pancake and she felt as though she had eaten everything on the table. "Well I'm guessing you didn't sleep very well then?" said Nessie yawning.

Zara continued to eat while she listened to Tayla's story. Wow, clearly Tayla's gone to so many places in one day all by herself. "Wow, you've been to the dungeons? I haven't gotten there yet," she commented as she took a bite of her butter croissants, "Ohh! I can't wait for you to take me to the kitchen. I wonder when they'll serve those cookies," Clearly, Zara was still hungry even after finishing half of what she's gotten on her plate.

"Me? Well, I woke up this morning with you of course. Then I went ahead to take a walk on the lake. But I ended up taking my book with me so I just sat under a tree and read my book while enjoying the scene in front of me. I've been with Ella and Matt, and Nessie too. Then, I got to go to the student garden," Then, her story was cut short for a while since she drank her pumpkin juice. Taking a bite out of the ham sandwich, Zara continued her story, "After that..nomnom..I looked around and found this terrace..*crunch*..where you could have some tea..*bite* *chew*..while admiring the greenery around..*drink* you. It was a beautiful..*gulp gulp* garden!" Her voice all muffled. Continuing, she was nearly done eating, "Sorry," she apologized. "Where are my manners? I think I'll tell you the rest of the story after I finish eating." With a sheepish smile, she turned back to her food and began finishing it.

"No, not at all. I slept perfectly. It's just that I usually wake up early." Zara grinned. "You know what they say. The early bird catches the worm."

But it seemed wrong. She woke up early but she ate late. Oh bummer. "Or maybe not. After all, here I am eating while the rest of you are done already."

"I would eat more but I have't been that hungry lately." said Nessie feeling over bloated. She still remembered last night with Daisy. They had found the room of requirement. She really wanted to tell Zara but wasn't sure if right now was a good time and she didn't exactly know how to use the room properly yet. "I'm exhausted!" said Nessie yawning yet again. She never managed to sleep much last night and was feeling kinda grumpy.

"Well, I've only been to the dungeon corridor. I didn't go inside and check the rooms. It's creepy there and I'd prefer to check it out with a friend or when we at least get our first DADA class!" Tayla chuckled. "Plus, I don't want a teacher to catch me down there and give me detention. I think the Potions classroom is there, too..."

"Sorry for interrupting your breakfast, it's just so exciting!" Tayla said, grabbing a fork and taking a bite out of a sausage. She already ate, but the sausage just looked too delicious not to eat. "The Kitchen is wonderful. There are long tables like these in the Great Hall and house elves working and cooking. And the whole room smells so good!"

"I can leave you to your eating. I'd like to explore the castle a bit more." Tayla grinned eagerly.

"Aww, Nessie. You should eat more. Your color's being drained out from you. You look pale white." Zara commented, taking a last bite out of her butter croissant and she was finished eating. She face Nessie now. "Exhausted? Wow, you look sick. You wanna go to the hospital wing?It's a bright and sunny morning but you look so tired already." Zara's face full of concern. She stood up, and took her final sip of her pumpkin juice. "We better get you checked up, Ness."

Zara was finally finished eating and was going to continue her story now that she was done eating and could properly tell it. But Tayla's face seemed so eager for adventure and she couldn't help but saying, "Oh, okay. See you around then, Tayla." She smiled.

"I'm fine. I promise!" said Nessie lying. She really wasn't all she could think about was her best friend which had died over the holidays. Why couldn't she just get over it an be like evryone else. She was greatful she wasn't at home though because then her parents would literally force her to eat. As for being exhausted Nessie wasn't sleeping much. She used to cry nearly the whole night every night untill she fell asleep and sometimes she only feel asleep at like 5 in the morning. She really was becoming a mess, but she couldn't stop herself it was just her way with dealing with it.

"Are you sure you're fine?" Zara asked, not falling for Nessie's excuse. She knew that something was wrong. If it wasn't sickness, it was probably something else. All that Zara knew is that something is definitely wrong.

Zara sighed, she knew she would never get Nessie to open up to her. "If you say so," she said in defeat. "Let's just go get you some fresh air. Maybe that would help you."

"Erm.. I think I should sit down for a bit longer" said Nessie without a reason. It was just that she could bearly move her feet she was so tired. She had no idea how she was going to cope today. She thought of going back to sleep but she didn't like the thought of being alone, incase she would cry again."I don't really feel like getting up, but you can go if you want I don't really mind" said Nessie lying again. she really wished Zara would stay but didn't want to force her.

Zara blinked and looked at Nessie. Out of nowhere, she began to almost-kneel and carried Nessie behind her back while saying, "Let's go, Nessie. Where's our destination?"
