"Hmm, I wonder where Janice went?" She looked around, "Wow, there is so much food. I swear I'll never get used to this." She looked around the table. She knew of most of the people here, but even though they were in her house, she was still afraid of them. People were still scary and she wasn't sure she'd ever really get over it. "Oh well, at least I'm getting better," she mumbled to herself as she started making some scrambled eggs on toast. There was nothing better on a chilly afternoon. She began to eat as she waited for Janice to show up...

"You don't seem to excited about it." She didn't even need to be his good friend to see the lack of enthusiasm on his face. Mia gave him steady look. "I know you said before that this is something that you want to do but do you have a back up just in case you change your mind down the track?"

"Nope... it's what I'm good at. It's a family tradition to fight and protect wizard kind."
*It was what he always wanted to do, or what he thought that he always wanted. Maybe he was just being a big baby about it all. He would get attacked, and there would always be danger. He guessed that it never really hit him until this past summer.*

"Well I guess. But just because you're good at something doesn't mean it's something you have to do." She gave him a look before raising her hands above her head and stretching the kinks out of her body. "Apparently I am good at giving advice, doesn't mean I want to be a counsellor." Personally she couldn't think of anything worse. It was okay listening to her friend's problems and giving them advice but she couldn't do it for strangers. "Just sayin."

Kimalia was still sore from her little collision with an older student during Quidditch Tryouts, now all she wanted to do was sit and eat before she took the walk down to her dorms. Walking into the Great Hall, she didn't feel like walking towards her table and chose the Hufflepuff table that was closer to her.

Lamb chops sound good. Kimalia sat down next to another girl who looked a little distracted reading her book. After filling her plate she introduced herself holding out her hand to shake. "Hi, I'm Kimalia." She looked at the book. "What are you reading?"

"Pleasure," Kimalia replied smiling. "Yep, we can sit almost anywhere, we get loads of other houses at our table." Except the staff, but most of them probably had boring discussion. Sipping her herbal tea, Kimalia added. "Hogwarts is pretty exciting don't you think?"

*Seeing her stretch Matty smirked and stood up.*
"Ready for a morning of classes?"

Kimalia nodded excitedly. "I know right, it's even more gorgeous than any textbook described it as!" Kimalia sipped more of her drink. "D'you have any other classes today?" Maybe if they did they could brainstorm together on the work.

Thank Merlin there were no traditions in her family. Well she didn’t think there was. She hadn’t really checked out her mother’s family yet, but it was something she intended to do. “Well I guess you know what you’re doing.”

Mia stood up when Matty did and then laughed at what he said. “Not particularly but seeing how it’s Saturday I don’t really need to worry about that.” She poked her tongue out at him and headed off for the doors. “I’ve got a letter I need to send.”

Before she even said hi she ran in and gave the firstie a hug. "Hi I'm Nika. I'm not sure if you remember me from History of Magic class?" She said to the girl rather rapidly. She needs to get more slytherin hugs!

ooc. Me and some friends are doing a National Hug a slytherin day thing. Basically a competition to see who can hug the most.

Kimalia was taken aback by the sudden hug before turning to see the mysterious person. Oh, it was one of the girls from her first History of Magic class. "Ooh hi Nika, and yea I remember you from when we had to find a place to sit outside our house tables." She noticed Nika seemed out of breath, maybe she was jogging? It was one of the assignments to do plenty of running. "You okay, you look exhausted?" Smiling she offered her another spot to sit by near her and Penny. "I'm Kimalia, by the way."

ooc: lol nice, good lucks on winning it.

Isobel came in to the Great Hall to make her way to the Slytherin table, she figured that would be a good place to find Slytherins. But then she saw one AT HER OWN TABLE! Isobel ran over to the Hufflepuff table. "Hiii," she said to the Slytherin. And then she hugged her.

After Maybelle and Isobel had explained that they might get hexed after they hug some Slytherins Nika was truly worried. Luckily though no one had hexed her yet. Thank Merlin. "Oh yeah. I was just running around trying to find some slytherins to hug. It's hug a slytherin day in case you didn't know." She said matter of factly with a stupid grin lighting up her face. "Thanks I could use a rest." She said whilst taking the empty spot.

Ohh, that makes sense. National Hug-a-Slytherin Day. But why us? Are we really that unfriendly? Kimalia smiled nodding despite her thoughts. "Oh, I see." She took a bite out of her toast before turning back to the last girl who hugged her. "Hey, why don't you have a seat, it's practically a party over here."

Originally Posted by ArianaBlack (Post 10359486)

"Yeah it's a lot of fun hugging you guys!" She said enthusiastically. Everyone had such funny reactions. Some like Kimalia and Fee were very nice about it. Whilst others were erm, not so nice. "So what's up?"

Ronnie wasn't feeling well. Just something felt off she sighed and made her way to the Great Hall. Maybe after she ate something she'd feel better. She hoped that her stomach would be calm enough for her to eat. She sat on the bench and looked around for any one that she may have known.

She looked at the table and was suddenly STARVING. She pulled everything close to her and began to eat like crazy. She didn't know where her sudden hunger came from. She looked down the table at some one. "Ahoy Matey." She said smiling and waving down the table. Did she really just say that? Ahoy Matey? What did that even mean?

It was true, that class did require a set amount of concentration, and she wasn't going to make too much of a fool of herself trying without the right stuff. "Otherwise, I'm anticipating the new Quidditch team results, I tried out for Beater so hopefully I can make it." She was confident that the amount of pinatas she destroyed at muggle parties and occasional baseball practices prepared her for this.



Kimalia held a finger to her lip to control her urge to chuckle at the greeting. Smiling finally she replied. "Hello to you too." She took the pitcher of pumpkin juice. "Care for some juice?" She didn't wait for an aswer before filling some into the goblet.

Ronnie smiled at the girl. "Thanks!" She said and drank a little of the juice she had poored into her. She suddenly gaged on it. "Ugh...that tasted horrible. Are you sure that's pumpkin juice?" She asked not knowing why it tasted so funny. "I feel sick to my stomach too...but I"m so hungry." She cried, not sure what to do.

Kimalia's left eyebrow arched hearing that the juice wasn't grand. She poured herself a small sample size and took a sip. Kimalia gagged. "Ugh! You're right.." She used a small cloth to wipe her tongue clean of the horrid drink. Checking the drink she saw it not resemble Pumpkin juice, but Prune Juice! Her eyes widened at the discovery."Oh my gosh, I grabbed the wrong pitcher!" She took her own portable bottle of herbal tea and poured some into another goblet for her. "There," She handed it to her. "That should calm you and stop any affects the juice gave you." She had to wonder though, who would change the drinks.

Shaking her head, she decided to introduce herself properly. "Well, despite what just happened, I'm Kimalia." She extended her hand out whilst giving an apologetic smile.
