"Pleasure Ronnie," She shook her hand. "I'm a first year," For now at least, she couldn't wait until she was considered an older student. She indicated the tea. "Somehow, my mother felt it prudent to send me some just in case." She saw Ronnie's reaction to drinking the tea. "Yea, it's not very pleasant." She thought for a moment of any other people looking sick. "And well, I did notice a second year Slytherin looking a little clammy during Herbology, not sure if it's just from the ship or what." Kimalia blinked a few times. "You feeling okay?" Maybe the tea won't be enough for the side effects of the tainted drink she accident offered earlier. "Maybe you should lie in the Hospital wing."

"I like transfiguration even though I'm no good at it, but this year our new professor is really freaky." Shaw. Not Mr. Shaw. Not professor Shaw. Just Shaw, chainSHAW. Nika was truly worried on the inside. Worried that he was really starting up a chainsaw army and that the DADA homework was meant for them to get stronger so that they could join it. She didn't mention any of this to Kimalia though, the girl probably already thought that Nika's strange. "Oh you play Quidditch!?" Well it wasn't much of a surprise. Most wizards did, or at least the ones at Hogwarts. Not Nika though. She can't fly. "I wish I could play." She said sighing. "I stick to the ground and play Football. Not the american kind though."

Ronnie looked over at the girl. She felt bad for meeting her on such horrible conditions. Usually she was much brighter and cheerful. "I forgot to go to Herbology." Ronnie cried thinking she should get up and go to the ship for the lesson. But realzing she didn't even have the strength to do that. "Could you pass the oatmeal?" Ronnie asked again thinking that she was REALLY hungry regardless of her upset stomach. "No I don't think I need the Hospital wing just yet." She smiled at the girl for showing her some concern.

Ronnie was trying to remember when she started to feel sick...how long ago was that now?

"Freaky eh?" Kimalia would have to find out herself later on. "and yeah, I have an older brother who would allow me to help him practice when we were younger." She smiled at the memories of that. "I'm not that good at football, have better luck at baseball where I get to hit stuff." That definitely had no influence in wanting the Beater position, nope nope.

Kimalia passed the bowl on oatmeal towards her. "Well, perhaps you should take it a little easy for now." Ronnie definitely had some fighter instincts in her wasn't one to take the easy way out, she concluded. "Just make sure you see the Hospital Wing if you don't feel any better tomorrow, okay?" She didn't want to sound pitiful, but how else could one express concern. Wanting to bring a lighter note to the conversation, "So what d'you think about the classes so far?"

"Sure if I don't feel better by then I'll go see the nurse." Ronnie said smiling at the girl...she was starting to feel better. Sort of. "Oh the classes are going fine, I've never been good with Potions, but Care of Magical creatures when well." She said remember the sphinx and how much really wanted to touch her. "Can you pass an apple this way?" Ronnie asked desperate for some food.

Ness took a seat at the Huffie table. She was starving. She filled up her plate and started to eat. She was a bit tired as she went to sleep late the night before. She took another bite from her food it was really good. Ness was really excited for the up comin quidditch match. She was deffinatley going to watch her team play and she hoped they would win especially as it was Oakey's first time playing.

Simon walked into the room, he was nervous the Quidditch Season was going to begin soon and then he would have to try and win the cup after winning it in his first year they had come second last year and Simon was really hoping that this year they would win it again, he was going to do his best to try and help Hufflepuff regain the cup.

Simon sat down next too a girl he didn't know and decided too speak to her. "Hello I'm Simon nice to meet you." Simon had just come back from putting a book away that the Herbology Professor had lend him.

"Here you are" Kimalia passed over the bowl filled with apples of different colors. "I liked that class, seeing the Sphinx was really excellent even if the riddles were confusing." On that note, Kimalia had some unfinished meditation business to attend to afterward. "Well, I enjoyed our chat, but I best be going." Kimalia swung her bag over her should before waving goodbye and smiling while leaving. "See you around."

Ness was to busy in thought to realise somone was talking to her. When she finaly realised, she turned around and saw a boy which looked like a second year. "Hi!! Nice to meet you too!" said Ness smiling. "Im Renesmee but you can call me Ness or Nessie like everyone else."

Simon smiled at Renesmee, that was a strange name. "Hell Ness, nice to meet you." Simon looked at Nessie and smiled. "I'm Simon Leonarder De Simpson, but you can call me Simon like everyone else does." Simon laughed he knew his full name was really hard to say though infact it was Prince Simon Leonarder De Simpson The Third of Hollian which was really long and he was glad he didn't have to write that down much.

Ness smiled as she recognised that he was a Huffie quidditch player. "You play quidditch right?" asked Ness quite nervous for the match that was coming up. She may have not been playing but Oakey was and also she really wanted her team to win.

Simon smiled. "I do, I've been playing it since my first year." He looked around, he had no idea what time it was but surely it couldn't be long until the first Quidditch Match started. "Want to walk to the Quidditch ground with me?" Simon asked the firstie, "Or are you waiting for someone else"

"Yeah Sure!" said Ness as she quickly finsihed her food and got up. She couldn't wait to see the match. She smiled at Simon then asked while they started walking. "Which position do you play?"

Simon looked at Ness. "I play chaser." Simon hopefully he would be able to play Quidditch Professional one day but if that didn't happen he would be happy to work in the Herbology field.

"Oh Thats cool!" said Ness wondering if he knew Oakey. She knew he had made the team and there was a huge chance he could have known him. "Um.. Do you know Oakey?" asked Ness.

Kita stepped over the threshold of the Great Hall carefully, a not very neatly wrapped present clutched to her chest. You didn't need to be good at Divination to know that Kita Lewis is most likely to fall over; especially when she was in a hurry and/or when she was holding something precious. In this case, it was the latter. Plus, Caroline might freak if she was given something that was broken.

The brunette made her way towards the Hufflepuff table, still clutching the gift to her chest. She sat down at the table and placed the gift carefully in front of her. Yes, she needed to give this gift to her best friend but the sixteen year old was hungry and food was needed.

Caroline skipped into the Great Hall wearing her two to sizes to big Santa hat that she had worn when she gave Carter his present. She was carrying a wrapped box that was Kita's present. She walked over the Hufflepuff table where they had agreed to meet. She snook over to where she was sitting.

"HO HO HO!" She no she wasn't calling her best friend that. She sat the present in front of her and sat down beside Kita. She didn't say another word just looked over at her smiled and brust out laughing.

Kita, having finished spreading the chocolate spread on her piece of toast, was just about to take a bite when she heard three words that made her jump so much that she ended up getting chocolate spread above her top lip.

Meh! At least it wasn't on the present!

Wait... who was greeting her by pretending to be Santa Claus? She turned to her side and looked at the girl who had just sat down next to her. "Well, well, well... aren't we a little festive?" she asked, smiling widely at Caroline, "I love the hat by the way." And now Caroline was giving her a look... a look and a laugh that made Kita burst out laughing as well. What the brunette was going to do without Caroline, she didn't know.

Caroline laughed as Kita jumped and got chocolate spread all over her top lip. She fixed the santa hat so that it wouldn't fall over her eyes. She really should've made it smaller. Nodding "Yes, I love christmas." It is her favorite holiday.

"Thanks" she said with grin. She slid the box that had her present in it over to Kita. [b]"This is for you. Happy Christmas, Miss Kita!" She hoped the she would really love what she had gotten her.

Nika skipped to the great hall with a smile on her face. Even though some other things had gotten in the way of her happiness she didn't want to stop being known as "that hyper cheerful Gryffie" it was far too fun of a reputation to uphold. She stood in front of the four tables deciding which one she wanted to sit at. Most people just sat at their house table, but Nika wanted to talk to some others today. She had far too many Gryffindor friends, and besides she could always see them in the common room. So having decided to sit at the Hufflepuff table she went to find a seat in the middle.

Spooning up some of the banna pudding he sees Nik sit next to him.Turnning to talk to her and almost flicking nanna puddin on her you would think in a world of magic the elves coud get some Nilla waffers from some place ... Oh hiya Nik ....sorry bout starting with out ya but my dad says if you wait on a girl to eat you just might go hungry" giving her a sly lil grin naw I just got here myself saw they had pudding and decided to have it first

Nika was startled when she saw a spoon full of pudding almost flung at her. It's a good thing that Mikey realized that she was there. "Hiya Mikey!" She said as she realized he called her Nik? "Is Nik my new Nik-name?" She laughed at her own little lame joke. "I'm punny!!" Okay that one was lame. "It's grape to see ya!" She said holding up a grape from a near by plate. "Right... sorry I'm done." Then she listened to his little explanation and laughed more. Laugh attack...!

taking a drink from his glass and leaving a big MILK moustash " noe you just MILKING it .... and I got an aunt called Nikkita and I call her Nik so I will call you it too unless you want me to call you somthing else offering her a plate .I really dont know that much bout you cept you like candy and hugging putting some rost beef and veg on her plate he offers her some gravy and a yorkshire pudding

Nika burst out into more laughter. This conversation was really lame. "Nik is good! I like it!" She said smiling at Mikey. Wow he was right, they didn't really know much about each other yet. "Well we should change that Mikey! Tell me more about yourself." She said with a smile. This way they could catch up with what they should've known earlier. "I'll take the pudding! But no gravy please." She said with a smile. Wait... she told Cove she would never have pudding again because it made her hyper. But it was her favorite... oh well.

grinning at her NOOO the question is about you .. dont try the lets talk bout the boy thing on me Aunt Nik would be so proud of how he let the girl talk first
