"You dont have to try ",Fee just smiled,"just let it happen.I am sure it will get better some day."William just needed to stop saying Hugo didnt appreciate her as a girlfriend when he was around.Giggling at the boy mentioned her being hot the girl shook her head."Noo i am sure thats not it",she said.Even though he surely didnt like other guys calling his girlfriend that.

Ohhhh Rex was marrying August now? That was amazing,he really deserved a happy ending.He was the most amazing guy,he needed to have an amazing girlfriend too."Ohh i cant wait to go to the wedding",the blonde smiled,"i am happy that Rex finally got the right girl."Hopefully August wouldnt hurt him,if she did the Slytherin would sooo break her neck.No kidding.

"I hope so",the blonde wiggled her eyebrows.After all she was dreaming about him every freaking night.But shush,of course she wouldnt tell him.Hehe.Fee just chuckled and shook her head.He didnt make a fool out of himself,he actually could do what he wanted,the blonde would still think he was hot."You dont",she said smiling,"making a fool out of yourself looks different."Every one lost their balance sometimes,nothing big.Maybe the Slytherin should get the daily prophet too?It would be nice to know what was going on,but then again she always borrowed it from some other Slytherin.Clever girl she was.Giggle."Oh yeah i only write two people all the time",the girl nodded,"Rex and my sister Fenja."To be honest the blonde was a little disappinted that her fave sister decided to go to Beauxbatons.Hogwarts was sooo much more amazing.He really wanted to teach her?Yaaay for pirate language.Mhh okay it didnt sound to hard.She would just try it out."Ye mean li' that?",the girl just chuckled at how stupid she sounded.When Hugo got all pirate-ish it seriously sounded way hotter than it did with her."Aye,i am sure you'll score goals.You're gonna be the king of the team."Anyone that had seen him ona broom already would think that.Aye.

" WEll, I have palns to visit Rose at her parents place in the summer" William told Presley. " I am not sure where Rex and August, who he is marrying next week end are going to live" William said to Presley. " Rex wants to opean a dance studio in Spain." Wiliam explained to Presley. "Well, I really like Rome, so I guess this is my favorite place to visit right now" William smiled. " Where is your favorite place to visit? 'William asked Presley. "Do you have any family living outside of London?" William asked Presley.

" I told you I would do it for you" William told Fee. Well, sure it will get better" William agreed with FEe. William thought to himself, not in a pigs eye would it ever get better. How did Rex ever like this guy? " I really do think it is brcause I call you hot" William disagreed with Fee. " Now if some boy called Rose hot, her and I would both be flattered" Wiliam said to Fee. " First because that means I am going out with a hot girl and second because she would be excited to be called hot by another boy" William explained to Fee.
" I might be at the wedding, too" William told Fee. " Hugo has an invitation, too" William said to Fee. "sugust has been the right girl from when he met her and then lost touch with her" William explained to Fee. " They are great together" Wiliam smiled.

"Well, she's a very lucky girl" She said.
Katelynn's cheeks went scarlet as she looked into the ground. She sighed and looked up. She tilted her head to the side slightly, and eyed Starr with a smile. "You're a real charmer, Starr, did you know that? And you're incredibly sweet! It's just.. how can I know you're not just playing me, but that I can thrust you? It's- I'm.. I'm sorry Starr." Katelynn bent down and kissed the boy on the cheek, and noticed the butterflies in her stomach go crazy. She started walking away from him, looking into the ground. She was so confused! Did she like him? But.. he had a girlfriend! ARGH.

Yes. Well, this was rather embarrasing. He had previous dreams of her before, but... Blurbhh. "I would like to meet your sister Fenja sometime, how old is she? Is she going to go to Hogwarts?" he asked, filling up his goblet.

"Aye, 'tis exactly like that! See? Ye can do it! 'tis real simple!" he said and took a small sip. Then he looked at the clock. "Look at the time! I have to get ready for class!" Hugo said, stood up and took a big gulp of his pumpkin juice. "Bye Fee," he said with a lovely smile nodding at her. "William," he said trying to sound nice and then he hopped off, off to climb 7 stairs. Oh how splendid.

"Are you going to Rex and August's wedding?" Presley asked. If she had a cousin getting married, she would definitely want to be there. "Rome is pretty nice." Presley liked Italy a lot. It was so...different. "I think my favourite place to visit is Switzerland," she decided. Presley wasn't really sure what her favourite was, but when she thought about it, she came up with Switzerland first, so she supposed that was her favourite. "Yeah, I have an uncle who lives in France, but we don't see him much Mostly just every other Christmas, and once a summer. Most of my family lives really close to London." He was the family member that Presley liked the most, aside from Leo. Her uncle had been the one t try to explain cricket to her when she was six. He was the funny guy of the family.

" Yrs, but I am lucky to have Rose, too" Willaim told Katelynn. " I am telling you the truth, I am with Rose" William said to Katelynn. " Trust me, you will get a great guy because you derseve one" Willaim explained to Katelynn." Oh, the kiss, ooh oh" William thought to himself. He saw Rose go to the common room, Willaim ran after Rose." Hopefully Hugo did not see thaat or Wiliam would never hear the end of it from Hugo and Fee.

" Yes, I will be at the wedding" Willaim told Presley. " I would enjoy going to Switzeland" Wilaim said to Presley. 'We live close to the Swiss Alps. but have never really gone to Switxwerland" Willaim explained to Presley. " I bet you France is a really nice place to visit, too" William smiled.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you said you lived in Italy right?" Italy was wonderful, and water, and warm, and it made even Presley's thoughts incoherent when she was dreaming of it. "So how did you end up at Hogwarts?" Hogwarts was just for UK kids, right? Maybe Will had special connections.

Nika nodded and let out a quick, "Ah," to show she understood. Well she didn't have very many questions right now, but she would have them when things were brought up. "Yeah I guess so." She said with a chuckle. "Right so what now?" She asked her fellow second year as she twisted a strand of hair around her finger.

"Um...I dunno." Samira glanced around the Hall. She didn't really know what to talk about. Samira didn't want to bore Nika with more details about Levi, and neither of them seemed to have anymore questions. Samira watched as Nika twirled her pink hair. The thoughts of their earlier conversation about dying her hair flittered through her head. The thought was...intriguing. Not permanent, oh no. Samira loved her solid, dark hair too much to change. But it looked kinda cool..."Actually, Nika, do you think you can dye my hair, too?" Samira blurted. She really didn't realize why she asked that, but she did. She only hoped Pink would know what she was doing.

" Yes. I live in Italy" William told Presley. "Well, my father, mother, my cousins and my father best freinds went to HogWarts" William said to Presley. "Is there a reason you asked me about HogWarts?" Wiliam asked Presley.

"hey Will, watcha up to?" Cleo said as she bounced up to her friend "i am bouncing because, you probably have noticed i have no shoes, i'll have to get them back soon though! it's those pesky nargals!"

Those Nargals really mess you up" William told Cleo. " I am trying to figure out some stuff" William said to Cleo. "Do you need help in catching the Nargals?" William asked Cleo.

"No, well, I just thought only kids who lived in the UK came here. But I understand now. If you parents went then of course you would come. At any rate, I'm glad you did." Presley's confused expression cleared to her typical smile. She was glad William was here. Who else would teach her random things like muggle sports and other things?

Nika looked around and eyed some pudding sitting across from her. This whole time she had been glancing towards it, but it wasn't her fault. IT WAS CALLING HER NAME! "Nika, eat me" or "Nika I'm pudding". She wants it!! "You want some pudding?" She reached over and put a small spoon full on a plate. She had given into the cravings. Curse the yummy tasting goodness. Why must you be so yummy, pudding!? WHY!? She almost forgot that she had been conversing with her Slytherin friend. Right. Wait what was that you said Samira? "Yeah.. YEAH! I'll do it for sure! First I need to figure it out, but that shouldn't be too hard!" She said cheerfully. Nika would figure it out. "What color are you thinking about?" She asked wiggling her eyebrows. "What do you think about PINK!? It's my favorite color!"

Samira eyes the pudding. "Um, I'm fine. I'll just have an apple." She reached over the table and grasped one of the shiny red apples. Mmm...fruit. Well, maybe she would have some pudding....no, she promised herself she would stay healthy. "I've already had a cookie today," she explained.

"Ok!" she said cheerily, then paused. "Wait, you do know what you're doing, don't you?" She couldn't have any damage to her hair. "I don't want to go bald or anything...and please, don't make it permanent. My parents would kill me!" She wasn't sure if she was exaggerating. The Slytherin pondered the Gryffindor's question. "Sure, pink is fine. But just a streak!" she hastened to add. "Not my whole head, like yours. Maybe just a stripe or two." Samira smiled. This was going to be fun. "Now we'll both have pink hair! We'll be matching!"

"Maybe I'll get a second piercing," grinned Samira.

" I know you would understand why I came to HogWarts" Willam told Presley. " I am really happy I met you" William said to Presley. So what are you going to teach me?" William asked Presley.

Nika shrugged and gave her a "you sure??" look before turning back to her own little scoop of pudding. Shrug. "Suit yourself." She said before smiling mischievously. "More for me!" Nika loved Hogwarts for many reasons. The people, the awesome subjects, the freedom, the-- well the list could go on forever. But one perk that came with Hogwarts that made it over-the-top awesome was the food. Not just the regular food, but the dessert. When at home Nika's parents would never give her dessert. Never ever. "I love the pudding here so much! My parents never let me have pudding at home though... they think it will make me hyper." She said with a can-you-believe-that look on her face. It was preposterous! Nika hyper?! Pffttt. Never....

Know what she's doing!? Why would she need to know what she was doing!? That defeats the purpose of experimentation! "Yeah... somewhat. But if I said yes I think you would be more comfortable so I'm gonna say yes." She'll know what she's doing... once she goes and searches it on google. Samira will be like her tester. "Besides I'm sure if I do anything wrong you can always magic it back. Not like I'm going to do anything wrong cause like I said... I know what I'm doing." She said with a smile as she did a over exaggerated wink. "Pink." She said repeating the color over and over again in her mind. "On second thought, I think your more of a purple." Even though now that levi was in her life Samira was more cheerful she was still not cheerful enough for pink. No, only Nika could pull off that kind of cheerful.

Then Samira brought up a second piercing and Nika just raised an eyebrow. Where had that even come from!? Well if they were talking about changing hair, changing ears was only a step away. "I wanna get a belly button ring!" She announced. Not yelling, not shouting, not even talking, but she announced it singing. Yes she sang the words because she's just that cool.

Samira put a hand to her heart and feigned shock and surprise. "You? Nika Pink Adler...hyper?" She shook her head dramatically. "Oh no. Never." Okay, she was done being sarcastic now. "Dessert actually has the opposite effect on me. If I have too much I'll feel sluggish and fat." Samira put a hand to her stomach self-conciously and took another bite of her apple. She knows she wasn't fat-not by any means-but she just didn't like the feeling. "You should try fruit," said Samira around bites. "Fruit is like my dessert." It was perfectly sweet and juicy. If Samira really wanted a fruit-like dessert, she could dip it in melted chocolate or whipped cream.

Er...Samira still wasn't sure Nika knew exactly what she was doing, but she decided to not dwell on it. "Alright," she finally gave in. "But I'm going to pretend I didn't hear the first part of that sentence..." Samira shrugged. "Purple sounds good to me." Now that she thought of it, pink was a little too...preppy. Purple was almost like pink, only a little more subdued. "Cool! Just don't forget: a few streaks only. Not overboard." Samira wanted this warning to be planted into Nika's mind like the strong roots of trees. She was not going to look like an imbecile.

Samira made a face. "Ew...A ring on your bellybutton?" She cringed. "I was only kidding about that, you know. I don't really want another piercing." Especially not on her bellybutton. Ugh! "Don't those hurt, anyways?"

Nika nodded her head wildly. "Yeah I know right! They won't even let me have caffeine." That's why ever time Nika gets to Hogwarts she stocks up on chocolate frogs and has a caffeine filled drink. It doesn't make her that hyper. Just bouncy... that's all. Nika brought her head back as she arched an eyebrow. "Fruits?.... As desserts?...." Well that idea is just preposterous! Ew. Why would you want a healthy dessert!? That's like wanting an educational birthday present. Ugh. It's just. not. done. "Well I love fruits and sometimes veggies, but dessert is dessert." She said with a nod. "My parents never give me dessert. So I'm sick of healthy!" She said sticking out a tongue. And with Nika's hyperness it didn't really matter. She'd eat junk food, but she'd just end up burning all the calories off in between what bouncing, skipping, and being plain out crazy. Yeah. No worries.

"Yeah... I think purples good." She tilted her head from side to side and held out her fingers to make the shape of a square. She closed one eye as she moved the square around. It was her attempt of being an "artist" who was trying imagine the new work on the subject. Hey, if she was going to pretend like she knew she was doing she might as well start playing the part earlier. "Only a few streaks got it!" She said with a quick nod and a salute. Streaks. She'd have to remember that. Hopefully Samira would remind her right before the "operation" so that she'd remember. Knowing Nika's memory.....

Nika mirrored samira's face. "Right... then I was only kidding too." Not completely, but eh not like she was going to get one anyways. She just liked the idea. "Well duh! I bet they do hurt, but I'm not afraid of pain!" She said puffing up her chest proudly pretending to be some sort of super hero. "It's the pain that fears me!" Wiggle eyebrows. Hehe.

Samira listened to Nika's speak about health and dessert. When she talked about how her parents wouldn't allow her to have caffeine, Samira couldn't help but mumble a quiet, "I wonder why..."

Samira clapped her hands once and abruptly stood up. "Alright, I'm getting anxious. Let's go color my hair now!" A sudden thought struck her and Samira was annoyed that she didn't think of it earlier. "There's something I want to give you, too!"

Nika heard Samira's mumbling but decided to ignore it. She isn't that crazy? Is she? Shrug. Well whatever. Pudding is pudding and she shall never give it up for *shiver* healthy stuff. So she continued to eat little spoon fulls of chocolate pudding. YUM!

Nika smiled as she remembered that she too had something to give to Samira. "OH OH OH me too!" She said jumping up too. "But erm... I left it in the common room." She said realizing her sudden fault. Agh. Forgetful Nika. "Can I go run and get it? Then we can meet up at erm the whomping willow?"

"Ok," Samira agreed, starting to scamper off. "I'll meet you at the Whomping Willow in a bit!" she called over her shoulder.

Nika waved goodbye as she started to make her way out of the great hall. "See ya!"

What did Presley have to teach William? She thought about it, and came up pretty much empty. "I know how to pick a pocket," she offered offhandedly. "Or if you need tutoring in something? I really don't know. Tell me what you want to learn, and I'll see what I can do." Presley turned contemplative. For all of being a Ravenclaw, she wasn't really much smarter than anyone else. She was good at puzzles and inference, but not necessarily school work. She was pretty good, but it wasn't like she was Albus Dumbledore or anything..."Or acting maybe?" Presley was a good actor, but she wasn't sure how much she could teach someone else.

Timeline: Beginning of January, after classes.

Sophie entered the pretty much vacant Great Hall, finding herself walking over to sit down at the Ravenclaw House table instead of her own for a snack before she went to her last lesson for the day. It felt weird sitting down in the center of the Claw table but Finlay had asked her to meet him there so the lioness prefect sat down. The few claws there gave Sophie strange looks but since she was a prefect they didn't ask what she was doing there. The tradition of sitting only at your own house table was so outdated.

Sophie took an orange and a small plate and began the task of peeling of the outer shell as she waited. From Finlay's note she had understood that he had talk to her about something serious. Maybe it was the next step in their relationship? Unsure she let her mind and eyes drift around the hall as she waited for Finlay to end his prefect patrol duty. Hopefully he hadn't gotten himself stuck sorting some problem out that would take all afternoon.
