What was Zara gonna eat? "Of course everything!" she grinned and began to get small servings of every food. Yeah, she'll need the energy. There's that stinky DADA homework she had to finish so she really needed it. She hasn't even done the front rolls yet. And karate. Were they supposed to do it weekly? Lord Borr didn't mention anything at his instructions. Humph, unspecific guy.

OOHHH. Yumyum. There was vanilla cake--her favorite Muggle cake flavor though next is chocolate. OHH, croissants! And custard slices. Oohh, there was rock cake too. All the food was making Zara love Hogwarts. Carrot cake too. There was simply too much cake for snacks. Custard slices, fruit salad, apple pie and lots of other pies like steak and kidney pie, rhubarb pie, pork pie, vegetable pies. There was also toast with cheese on top, and some sweet potato, slices potato that actually looked like those Muggle fries. Yummyyyy. There was simply too much food. Too much, Zara wanted to eat forever. Hahah.

"Enjoying your food?" Zara asked as she turned to look at Jade as she swallowed a bite of toast.

"Yup. Never." Zara confirmed. Except for that one time though when she escaped. But Zara decided not to tell Ari that anymore. She's said the story one too many times. And it's not exactly a good memory after what those children did to Zara. "We don't go on trips. Our mansi--home--is big enough for us, I guess." Zara smiled. She had a playground; a pool; a garden; a treehouse; a small house beside the garden, playground, and pool of their mansion built for Zara; the whole fifth floor as her place to play, read, study, and do other stuff though her room is on the third floor along with her mum and dad; and they just hang out usually everywhere. If you had a place that's sixteen hectares all in all, you can pretty much do anything. Explore stuff. Go climb something and all those. They even go rappelling and wall climbing in their place. "But of course, once I got my letter, I was able to go out. As long as it's in the Wizarding World. I'm not allowed to go with Muggles." She frowned a bit. Overprotective parents. Hmph.

Threat. Hmm. "Because they were supposed to work for the Ministry and not some Muggle job?" She guessed. Or maybe because the Ministry wanted them bad so badly. Her dad was the head auror before and he suddenly quit just for Zara. Her mother was a considerate and smart person so she had always been useful for the council trials. She saw the truth behind those eyes. Yes, the Ministry needed them.

"Well, Ari. I like your mum. She's a strong woman," Zara said, almost as if she was so sure of herself. But that's what she believed. To rebuild a family after a tragic loss of a father for Ari, that must've been hard. But still she was able to do it. Strong woman. Brave to face life. Zara smiled. She wanted to be like that too.

Nodding, Theas smiled at Tayla. 'Urm.. okay I guess..' She shrugged. She was doing okay.. wasn't she? Trying to keep on top of homework and everything.. aswell as writing home about two/three times a week! 'How about you?'

Nika skipped, yes skipped, into the great hall with a huge smile on her face. She swayed a basket of flowers, yes a basket of flowers, back and forth. She passed by other house tables and shot huge grins at them all as she waved. It felt like one of those cheesy movies when the girl is prancing through the meadow. Minus the flowers and the singing animals.

Nika felt super-extra cheerful today. How much sugar did she put in her cereal this morning? No one knows.

She felt like throwing flowers out for the people, but decided against it. She liked the flowers. They were too pretty to be thrown to random people. Besides all of her hard work going outside and picking them would go to wast if she just threw them to people as she passed by.

HEHE! Super-extra cheerful Nika made her way to the Gryffindor table which seemed to be occupied by a truck load of first years. But that's okay. Nika likes first years, most of them anyways.

She walked up to the head of the table and smiled. "HIYA! For those of you who don't know me, I'm Nika!" Oh yes, she felt super cheerful alright.

"Great, thanks! I'm enjoying some of the homework we have to be honest," Tayla replied. She liked the History of Magic one especially, where they were asked to create their own Hogwarts house. "Have you finished all yours?" Asking that, Tayla suddenly remember her Transfiguration homework. She hadn't done that yet. Oh well, time to have a little fun first.

Tayla chuckled. "Hi Nika! Nice flowers!"

Thea smiled and nodded. 'I've almost done it all I thiiiink!' Frowning a little, she then remembered Transfiguration and the rest of her DADA assignment..
'So, what lessons have you been enjoying?' Thea grinned, pushing away her empty bowl.

Tayla bit her lip in thought. "That's a hard one...I'm enjoying all the lessons really. Although I wish the flying lesson went on longer. There seemed to be something odd going on with the professor...

"I liked Potions a lot, and though the professor - I mean, Shaw scares me a bit, I enjoyed Transfiguration, too. And History of Magic and Care of Magical Creatures and - " Tayla chuckled. "Well, I guess I enjoyed all of them!

"How about you, Thea?"

Thea smiled and grinned as she listened to Tayla. 'Um.. I like Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures and Divination the best!' Sipping her pumpkin juice Thea nodded in agreement. 'Yeah I know! The Professor was a bit...' Thea shrugged. She really couldn't think of a word to describe him!

"I'm missing Charms, though," Tayla replied. She had read a little from all their Hogwarts books even before getting on the Hogwarts Express. She was looking forward to Charms and DADA the most. "And I'm sad we don't have Defense Against the Dark Arts classes either. The homework's there but...well..." Tayla shrugged. She was sure Thea knew what she meant.

"So, were your parents in Gryffindor, too?"

Thea frowned, nodding. 'Yeah, I'm finding the homeowkr a little irritating!' Thea said, truthfully.

'Yep.. and so were my brothers. They're still in Hogwarts actually.' Thea smiled at Tayla. 'how about you?'

"They are? What year? Are you the youngest?" Tayla asked, then replied, "My sister's too young to start Hogwarts. She'll be a first year after our seventh, so we won't be here by then."

Thea giggled slightly at the questions. 'Um.. three are in their second year.. one in their fourth and other other in his sixth year.' Thea nodded. That was right.. she thought it was anyway..
'Oh, that's too bad!' She would of liked to meet Tayla's little sister!

Ariella skipped into the great hall, her stomach rumbling. She gazed up at the high ceiling. Once she reached the Gryffindor table, she sat down. "Hiya, everyone!" she said happily.

Oh someone replied to her super extra cheerful hello. Who is it? "TAYLA!" She said beaming at the firstie. "Thank you! I picked them myself." She said nodding her head proudly. "WHAT'S UP!?" Too much energy. Too little of a person.

Nika turned around and noticed someone else was skipping into the great hall. Maybe this person was feeling super extra cheerful too!!! "Hiya!" OH! She doesn't know this person yet. Too bad she missed Nika's awesome introduction.

Fee chuckled a little at Ari's surprise about the fact that the girl had been a Hufflepuff."Not all hufflepuffs are sweet and calm",the girl shook her head,"but dont worry about it."The little one was way to sweet to get on one of the Huffies bad side."No actually there is no one i hate at the moment",the Slytherin chuckled,"better that there is no one actually."Harmony was much better,there was aneough drama around Hogwarts.

The third year started laughing as the Gryffindor mentioned some Slytherin getting annoyed at the hug day."Well some of them arent too happy with it,yes",she giggled,"but actually they like it.They just cant show it."Fee herself really liked being hugged,it was sweet.Hehe."Oh yeah the new COMC professor seems nice",the girl nodded,"even though i dont like that subject too much."Runes,yes,ancient runes,that was her thing.

"Ah your twin is great today, and how is my awesome twin of coolness and gingerness.!"

'Your twin is fine too!' Rose grinned 'Ugh, this DADA assignment is annoying! What do you think?'

"Three in second year?" Tayla asked, getting more interested. "Do you have triplets in the family?" If they did, it would be awesome! And Tayla would definitely want to meet them. "Good for you, you have siblings here who can guide you. Help you out and stuff. I wish I had an older brother - or a twin!" Tayla paused. "Oh! But I still love my little sister of course," she added.


"Did a little dancing with William a moment ago, for the DADA assignment," Tayla replied cheerfully. "Now having pumpkin juice. Hey Nika, have you and Thea met before?"

Tayla decided to introduce NIKA and THEA.

"Nika this is Thea. Thea, this is my friend Nika. She's in second year, just like three of your siblings."

"Hey! I'm Ariella," chirped Ariella. She was in a great mood today...she didn't know why. She remembered seeing this girl around in the common room and in the dormitories. Her name was....Nika, right?!

Desperate to do that homework, Zara began to stretch at the Gryffindor Table. Well, not on top of it. Just behind her chair. After eating lunch, she stood up and begun to stretch, not minding those few heads that turned at her and stared like she was crazy. I mean, come on, it's homework, HELLO?

Stretch. One two three four. Humph. One two three. And she began to march all around the place after that just because she wanted too. Feeling tired, she saved the last exercise for--well, for last. Reach toes. She was wondering if the last time didn't feel painful because of a reason. Maybe she just got lucky. What if it hurt this time? Uh oh. That would not be good.

Reach. Reach. OH HEYY. She reached it again! So maybe it wasn't luck. She was finally doing this. Well, Zara can only confirm that if she could do this straight five days in a row. Yeah, that would decide it.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. Lexi was STARVING. It was quite ridiculous really. She woke up in a chair beside the fireplace in her common room and felt as though she hadn't eaten in about a MONTH. Finally getting past that initial pukey feeling she practically ran down the EIGHT flights of stairs to the Great Hall.

OH! The lingering smells of food slammed her in the face as soon as she stepped a foot inside. Mmmmmm. Making her way to her house table she plopped onto the bench and stared at the plate in front of her before she started to grab anything and everything within her reach. YUM.

Well Ivan was feeling a little better now. Not much but a little. He looked around the Great Hall and not seeing anyone at his table or TJ at hers spotted Lexi at the Gryffie one. Grinning he walked over to her and sat next to her grabbing a piece of toast off her plate.

"Hungry much?" he asked as he bit into the toast with a grin. He was starving but he wasn't pushing his luck since he still felt kind of ill.

Lexi reached across and popped the back of Ivan's hand lightly. "There is a whole spread here and you stole off of my plate? How rude!" she said as she shoved an entire piece of bacon into her mouth and followed it up with a piece of toast of her own.

After washing it all down with some pumpkin juice she asked, "How's your leg? Will it have to be amputated or something?" Hehe. Who in the world, besides Ivan, had never been injured? Seriously.

Ivan gave Lexi a smirk and took another bite of the toast he'd stolen. "Yup I did and I'd do it again." So there. "Like they say the food always looks better on someone elses plate." Wait no that wasn't right.

He rolled his eyes as he heard her question and shook his head. "No it doesn't need to be amputated. I did have to go to the healer though when I felt sick the other day and passed out."

Lexi looked at him with a narrowed eye and shook her head. "Now who the hell says something like that?" SNORT. Seriously he was an odd, odd boy. It was official. "Touch my food again and you might have another injury to have tended to." For reals. A fork to the hand had to be painful.

Grabbing up two pieces of bacon in one hand and a fork full of egg in the other she alternately shoved the food into her mouth and began to chew loudly. "Oo pathed oot?" she inquired as she send food flying from her open mouth.

Translation=You passed out?

"I just did duh," he said with a smug grin before grabbing a piece of bacon from one of the plates in front of him that wasn't her. "Duly noted," and knowing her she would probably follow through too.

He raised an eyebrow as she spoke with her mouth full, "Yes I pathed oot." He chuckled as he poured himself a glass of water. Yup he still felt kind of woozy.
