for Cassie, not Davina =P
 

For the first time in quite some time, yes, Treyen Lockhart was actually hungry. Though it was all Arya's doing, she'd exhausted him with too much study and his night wasn't even over yet, since it was only time for dinner, but still, he needed the energy that only food seemed able to provide.

That's why he was here.

That's why he'd told Arya he was going some other place other than the Great Hall.

That's why he'd told Cassie he'd meet her here.

Because he wanted to eat? Yeah, right. But he could discuss Quidditch with Cassie, no? Something he wouldn't be able to do with Arya, not for a long time anyway. Not that Cassie will be the best one for it either, since she liked to accessorize for practices and games. But at least she wouldn't make him eat the whole table.

Girls.

Cassie was actually looking forward to dinner tonight because she would be in the company of one of her favourite house-mates. That would explain why she practically skipped down to the Great Hall that night, she would be having lunch with Treyen.

She got there in time to find them nice seats in the middle of the table next to some of the older kids. It wasn't like she didn't love the younger Puffs, she just figured Treyen would want to stuff his face in peace. All the guys she knew here seemed to eat like that. Then again they are all growing boys and athletes too.

Cass looked up in time to see Treyen making his way to the table, she beamed and waved at him.
"I was starting to think your books ate you." And hey it was Hogwarts, it was very possible.

And...there she was!

Not that it was difficult to find her, because she saw him in no time and he followed after her wave.

Taking a seat next to her, he resisted to roll his eyes. He'd been studying too much, hadn't he? "Really? I think Arya would eat me first," or feed him to Perseus for putting so many study hours on her. He felt his shoulders relax A LOT, which was ironic considering the fact that they were talking about him being eaten. Probably by that Snargaluff, the most likely eater.

"It's been a while, no?" especially if he had made a point of missing practices, "How's the Pitch holding up?" he was just hoping that it wasn't full of glitter or something.

"Im Sorry! My curiosity sometime takes over me!" said Ness shyly maybe she should just leave and then she wouldn't have to worry about this, but that would have been even more rude, maybe she should just ask the girl to start over, Yeah that was a good idea, thought Ness."Um...maybe..can ...we...um..start over?" said Ness nervously hoping the girl would say yes, but she wasn't too sure she would, so Ness turned back to her chocolate and started nibbling again.

Start over? Sammy laiked this. "Sure thing" she said in a very cheery tone, before wiping her hand on her jeans and holding it out to the girl "Sammy Star. Fourth year. Hufflepuff." she said with a smile. She probably scared the poor kid, she liked that. She liked having authority over people. Made her feel like god. No, playing Sims Medieval made her feel like god. THEY WORSHIPPED HER. Except for when she .... accidently killed them. Whoops.

Cassie laughed at Treyen's comment. She had heard Arya say something about studying with him when she had ran into her that day in the common room so she had no problem that she probably would have eaten him.

She noticed him relax a bit and smiled. That's what she liked to see; people relaxing in her company, because she was the fun loving, mostly always relaxed kind of girl.

Cassie dipped a slice of her apple in the vanilla cream and took a bite, chewed slowly and swallowed before answering. " Yes, Treyen Lockhart, it has been a while and you know I don't like going to training without you because I don't really know those other people." Pout. " Hmm the pitch is fine but I'm thinking about a plum and bright green decor with a toops of gold sparkles here and there." She winked at him.

Awww I love sims Medieval!!
 

Nessie smiled when the girl agreed.She then smiled then shook the girls hand which introduced herself as Sammy Star."Nice to meet you! Im RenesmeeTalya Dixon, but everyone calls me Ness or Nessie for short!" Ness smiled again, then realsised she hadn't said what year, or house she was in oopsie."Oh and Um I'm a first year Hufflepuff!" said Ness giglling a little afterwards.

Oh, you know, he'd missed Cassie. Quite a bit too. She was easy to be around with, a different kind of easy. Perhaps it was all due to the fact that he never got to worry about anything with her. Even whatever conversation they could possibly have wouldn't get too deep anyway. So, yeah, that was nice.

She was eating an apple? Yeah, no, Treyen wanted more than an apple, that's why he took some chicken and...chips, yes, chips sounded well right about now.

He smiled when she mentioned his full name, and he chuckled at her comment, "Don't be silly, they're teammates," and people who were still in her House, by the way. Plus, Cassie and Kita were on the same year, she ought to know her a bit more than he did, no? They did share a dormitory. Then again, there was another fifth year Hufflepuff boy that rarely spoke to him and Chandler.

Treyen had already eaten three chips when Cassie mentioned decorating the Pitch. Vindictus would kill her. Literally kill her. And he'll miss her, "I think you better leave the Pitch alone, I'll give you permission to...decorate the dark room," in the Yearbook 'office', of course, and...see what he did? The dark room. It wasn't full of lights every time, so, she was free to do whatever she wanted with it, except take the red bulbs from it. Or painting it white.

Actually, he may have made a mistake. "Or not the dark room, maybe just the bullpen, yes?" writers weren't his obligation, so, that was better.

That was one hell of a name. Then again, Sammy hadn't given her full name, she never did. She didn't want everyone walking around annoying her by calling her Samantha Joan Star. Sammy was much better. "Lovely to meet you" she said with a grin. AW SHE WAS ONLY AN ICKLE FIRSTIE. Now Sammy had resist the urge to pinch her cheeks. "WOOOO! Always good meet a fellow Puffian" Sammy said excitedly. She would drag this child down to the games with her and force her to cheer. Yes. "So how are you liking Hogwarts?" she asked, picking up a slice of green apple off her plate. If she was gonna eat a lot, she should probably try to eat healthy.

Cassie watched Treyen eat for a while not doubting for a second that they would definitely be able to keep up with James with the whole face stuffing thing. All the boys at Hogwarts seemed to eat like that, especially when they played quidditch.

She looked down guiltily at her plate of sliced apples. He was right again. They were her team mates and she really needed to put more effort into talking to them outside of the locker room and off the pitch. Right she would get on that soon enough.

"But I like it better when you're there." She gave him one of her Cassie pouts that she had perfected.

She frowned." What? Why not? I think the pitch would look awesome in plum and glitter sparkles. The girls would love it!" The boys probably would not be so pleased..vindictus wouldn't be too thrilled either. Perhaps she should leave the pitch alone, until she was graduating.

" What Treyen? Buuuuuuuut! Do you know how cool the dark room would look with colour changing light bulbs? When the light hits the glitter it would be sooo pretty." She could see it already. Treyen was just popping her bubbles one by one.

"Fine. I'll do the Bull Pen," she said smiling again. " You can help me paint." She stated then beamed at him.

He was eating slowly, as usual, despite the fact that he was hungry. It was a habit he wouldn't give up, apparently. Unless he was starving and cupcakes were the only thing on the table. Only then...no, not even then. Never mind.

Maybe that's why he was so thin, right? Arya said he didn't eat enough, but maybe all he did was take his time to eat. That ought to make a difference, no?

"Awww, you do? I like you in the team as well," he said, smiling towards her. Pouts didn't work on him, but her words did. Treyen kind of liked what she said.

Seriously? Why not? "I don't think I'd mind as much as Vindictus would." The man loved his Pitch too much. It was almost strange. But he wasn't judging, chances were that Vindictus took great care of it, therefore, didn't want anything to happen to it. He could understand that. That's why he took Phineas' departure so badly. "As far as the dark room...," he eyed her this time, and almost raised an eyebrow, "...it would get in the way of developing pictures, so, NO." He'd emphasized the 'NO', he wasn't changing his mind about that.

At her next comment, Treyen couldn't help but to smile, widely, "I'll help you paint, no problem," because then he'll get a saying on the color, no?

Damien nodded his head, making a sour face into his coffee mug after another sip. Still tasted horrible. Even more so than the first sip, if that were possible. "My aunt," he responded with another not after setting the foul coffee aside.

He turned his head curiously to Matty, first at the declaration that his aunts cinnamon scones tasted just like Damien's aunts ... and also at the question of the name of his aunt. "More like Laura Murray," he added with a chuckle.

Taking a sniff of the toxic waste that was his coffee, Damien agreed with Matty. "I think you might be on to something regarding the tea," he said before drawing out his wand and exchanging the coffee for some earl grey.

"I usually tend to mind my own business, yeah," he said after taking a much easier sip of the tea. At least it didn't burn his throat like his other choice of beverage. "What gave that away?" he asked with another chuckle.

*Tapping his own cup a nice cup of wild berry tea came up and he took a slow sip.*
"What gave you away was I used to be a loner too. Even though we've never talked I saw you around. Library, lake, courtyard, anywhere away from people."

*Taking a bite of the scone he sighed finally feeling able to rest. Classes seemed to just drag on and on.*
"Murray hmm? Wouldn't happen to be related to a Sarah or Robbie Murray?"

"I didn't say where I was from, sorry about that. I grew up in England but live in Sweden with my aunt and uncle now."
*Matty may sound like a Brit but he was a pure Swede. It wasn't hard to guess where this bloke was from.*
"Murray... old wizarding family aren't they?"

"Nice to meet you too!" said Ness smiling back. Ness thought Sammy was a bit crazy, but sometimes it was good to be like that, it usually kept you happy, thought Ness. Ness had met quite a few crazy people before, and she actally quite enjoyed there company, it was fun and exciting to hang around people like that."Yeah it is!" said Ness agreeing with Sammy, that it was good to meet a fellow Huffie.

How am I liking Hogwarts thought Ness, well it was quite awsome, besides for all the homework, and the fact that she missed home so much, it was also very interesting here."Um.. Its Great!" said Ness answering to Sammy. Ness had finally finished her chocolate, but felt like another one, so she grabed one from the table and started nibling again.

Aurora strolled past the Hufflepuff table as she headed for her own, her stomach rumbling a little. She noticed Penny and gave her a little wave, the girl looked a little worried about something. She was about to carry on to her own table...

Penny saw Aurora walking past her house table...thinking there was no time like the present...

"Aurora, Um, er, could you maybe come over here for a minute please?"

Aurora stopped and changed course, making her way around the yellow-clad huffies to Penny. "Of course, are you okay?"

SEE!!! She could be nice!!

That's one in the faces of all those that said I was heartless! she thought.

Penny blushed a little...."Yes, I'm fine.... I called you over cos I wanted to give you something"...

okay...just do it Penny..Pulling a bouquet of flowers from her bag
"Um, I wanted to give you these, cos your a good friend and I wanted to show my appreciation"

Aurora blinked, a little taken aback... "Um... thanks..?" she took the flowers from Penny. They were beautiful.

"Can I ask why..?" she added, a confused expression on her face.

Taking a bite of his scone, Damien nodded his head. "I guess my ancestors are one of the oldest wizarding families in Ireland," he began. "Well-known for instructing witches, wizards and even mugles on the wizarding world."

He knew this from his aunt. He knew about people in his family that lived hundreads of years before him. But could he answer any questions about his family that lived while he was alive? Nope.

This Matty, though. He was alright. Didn't pry and wasn't a hyper first year student, either.

Aurora gazed at the flowers. "Um, wow, thanks." she'd never really been comfortable with the whole nice thing. But this girl was a Hufflepuff. "I'm glad you think I'm a good friend, you are too." she added, sniffing the flowers, mmmmmmmmm, lovely.
