"Oh, hey sorry, I zoned out for a second. I'm Presley Black. I really love Hogwarts, I mean, I've been looking forward to it for years, so I thought it couldn't possible rise to expectations, but it exceedes them. " She turned to Rachel, who was also talking.
"Oh, that was Fee. She's a third year. How are you doing?" Pres was a little worried about Rachel after her breakdown the other day. She wanted to support her friend, and make sure she was dealing well with the stuff about her mum.

Mia was tempted to roll her eyes. Guys were sooooo impatient.

"I don't really know to be honest. But I can just see you going out on your own. You have the charm and the smooth talk to succeed at pretty much anything you want." Kind of made her envious actually. Well just a little. She couldn't help but laugh at the smile and she cupped his chin with her hand. "As cheeky as you are James Wilkes, you do NOT have a dishonest bone in your body."

And there was a fine example of that smooth talk. James Wilkes knew how to charm a girl. "Maybe I should stop smiling then." she said, putting on a mock frown. "Does your heart feel better now?"


She let out a little chuckle at Ivan. He really was in a good mood.

Did he just poke his tongue out at her? "Oh James, likes it. He's just giving me the honour today." She poked her tongue out at him before pouring herself some juice. You'd think one of the guys would have gotten her one, wouldn't you? "Eh, have fun with that." At some point she needed to talk to the Slytherin as well but yeah, she was putting it off.

"I have no reasons to lie about anything. Jim agreed with Mia. "But look at you sweet talking me right now. Ain't I just lucky?"

He raised his brows in agreement as the conversation progressed. Yep thats right, he was giving Mia a hard time today. But it was mostly in appreciation for the effort she made with his gifts. Heehee. And also it was kind of nice to see Ivan in a good mood again and not moping over Lexi or Mia or that girl that rejected him most recently, you know, the weird Gryffindor bubbly one? Yeah.

"You know, if I was the type to like to watch people squirm, I'd stage an intervention. Y'know Sal is just a patronus away." Jimmy withdrew his wand and waved it teasingly, looking between Mia and Ivan. Heeh. "But I'm not. You guys can do your thing when you have the time and inclination." He shrugged and put his wand away.

Ivan laughed and looked between James and Mia. "So..he's giving you a hard time so you're giving me a hard time?" That wasn't exactly fair. Hmph. Seeing Mia stick her tongue out at him he grinned.

"No I'm going to go find him. I owe him an apology," he said adding even more food to his plate. Did he finish it all already? He just felt so freaking hungry lately. And then in an instant his grin faded and he felt ill all of a sudden. He couldn't figure out what it was though. He just felt...bad..... Maybe he ate too fast. But he didn't feel like he was going to hurl or anything.... "I don't feel so good," he said pushing his plate away and dropping his head to the table.

Miss Neptune Bott was on auto-pilot. Her thoughts were a million miles away and her feet carrying her to the usual. She didn't exactly have a specific seat so much as a general area that she typically occupied at the table.

Though as a seventh year and Queen, if she wanted a specific seat she could very well HAVE one.

She giggled to herself and sat down - almost right into Ivan's lap.

"Eeek!" Ooops.

"What can I say? I am good at stroking a guy's ego." But she only ever did it if she meant it and if what she said was true.

She was just taking a sip of her juice when James mentioned an intervention and she almost spat her drink back out again. He wouldn't.

Phew!

Nope. He wouldn't. "And what would you have done if I decided not to hang around for this intervention. Hypothetically speaking since you are not going to send for him." Because he said he wasn't going to, right?

Mia shrugged her shoulders but she too was grinning. "Well I figured you wouldn't want to miss out on the fun. We're all friends here so it's cool to share." Bwhahahaha.

What was with everyone wanting to apologise to Sal? Nik had admitted that he had been rather harsh to Sal in Antartica and didn't want her not talking to him. Pfft.

What the...? Her eyebrows raised at Ivan's sudden demise. She stared at him for a moment before turning to James. "Food poisoning?"

"Aww its okay Ivy baaaaby, you can give me a hard time, then it evens out." Jim made kissy faces at Ivan and then looked around the table, trying to decide if there was anything else he wanted in his stomach.

"Good to hear." Made his life easier, you know, having his friends get along and all. And Sal was a reasonable guy, he'd be gracious about it. James glanced at Ivan.

Well. It wasn't that he'd eaten too much. Ivan had barely had seconds!

Blink.

Keep it casual.

"Hey, 'tune."

"Aaaaand other things." Riiiight Mia? Riiiiight?

He laughed gently at her reaction, but his attention was a bit divided. He was subtly aware of Neptune's presence. "If I hypothetically was gonna do something like that, I'd hypothetically make sure you stuck around, using my mad skills, which are real, and not at all hypothetical." Grin. The question was, which skillset was he talking about? Eyebrow waggle.

Shrug.

"Hope it ain't food poisoning." Even as he said that he filled his plate AGAIN.

Ivan lifted his head when somebody practically sat on him and he raised an eyebrow at Neptune. Uh huh. "You know you don't have to pretend to sit on me to sit on my lap Neptune. All you have to do is ask" he said with a smirk. Hmm he felt dizzy now...

"Oh how nice of you Mia to let me be included," he teased as he grabbed another glass and filled it with water. And now cue the stomach hurting, "I hope it's not too.... It just happened all of a sudden..." Ugh. Maybe he should go to the hospital wing.

Ivan rolled his eyes and made a rude gesture at James before practically chugging the glass of water. But oddly enough he was STILL hungry. "I always give you a hard time James."

He glanced between James and Neptune then back again with a smirk and busied himself with a piece of toast. "Sooo....enjoy your birthday James?" Heheheh.

Neptune blinked at Ivan, frowned, blinked. She was KIND of looking at him like he'd just appeared and it was his fault. But then, of course, OF course, Ivan went and...

...said that. She flushed red. "As it were, I don't really have to ask." Neptune eased away from him and finally took in her surroundings.

Mia.

...and Jim. She grinned, "James."


She went to pour herself some juice and pretend not to be a lunatic when Ivan said that.

And she blushed all over again.

Oh Miss Bott had arrived. Mia wondered what her mood would be like today. Was the girl going to be friendly or was the Ravenclaw going to give her the cold shoulder...again?

"Hello Neptune." she said politely before retuning her attention back to James.

"James!!" Geez. "Don't be telling everyone all my secrets."

Merlin! She should probably go back to her common room or something. Her friend was a very bad influence on her. And totally confusing her with all his hypothetical talk. "Yeah well you still couldn't make me talk to him if I didn't want to." Which she didn't. Not yet anyway.

"No problems at all Ivan." she said waving her hands in an airy gesture and laughing softly. But that laugh quickly faded when she took in the look on his face. Maybe they should do something?

Well apparently he was well enough to do that. "Ivan! There are ladies present."

Jim had to force his hand not to clench under the table as Ivan joked around with Neptune. All good. All good. He reached out and picked up his glass of OJ. Nothing wrong here. Mhmm. He grinned a bit but it faded and was replaced with curiosity at Ivan chugging his water. Hmm. Okay.

"Yeah you know I love it."

He put his glass down and then sloooowly turned to look at Ivan.

Stare.

"You know I did. It was epic hanging out with you guys down by the lake and all." Epic. Lets just hope nobody mentioned that he'd disappeared after a certain point of the evening.

Jim didn't blush, he just kept up that whole... casual thing.

What? Just another morning at the Ravenclaw table.

"Mi, they can tell by looking." He grinned at her.

Hmmm he could, he was sure, but he wouldn't. He wasn't a meddler. "You're right." He agreed easily.

Heeh. Ladies. Well, Jimmy supposed that he'd call Mia and Neptune that, at least he respected both of them, which he suppose was what made a guy consider a girl a lady and not just.... something else.

"You're right you're welcome on my lap any time," Ivan said with a wink. heh. He was sure James was seething now but he wasn't glancing over to find out. It was too much fun seeing him get all riled up over someone he 'didn't like'.

And she was turning red too! Even better! Oh this was going to be great.

Turning to look at Mia with his eyes wide he frowned. "What'd I do? He started it." Yup because THAT was mature. And why was he feeling better all of a sudden? UGH! Pulling his plate back toward him he took a piece of bacon and bit into it smugly as he looked at James.

"I'm sure you do. But don't tell everyone our secret Jaaaaaaaames," he said pretending to bat his eyelashes at him. "They might find out why you can't keep a girlfriend," he said leaning into the table in a whisper.

Seeing the look he got when he mentioned the birthday Ivan took another bite of his bacon and stared at him innocently. "We couldn't find you after awhile. Seemed you had...disappeared.... "Lucky for you I'm a caring friend and went searching to make sure you hadn't fallen into a ditch or anything." Yeah...take that Wilkes. He gave both of them a glance and focused on the food in front of him now.

"Hello Neptune." she said politely before retuning her attention back to James.

"...Hello Mia. Feeling Ravenclaw today?" Neptune was so thankful to feel Ravenclaw everyday. She offered a smile, thankful also for a distraction. "Heard from Jake lately?"

So.... okay.

Neptune just looked elsewhere. Back at Mia. Mia was awful pretty. Sigh. Was she still red??

He gave both of them a glance and focused on the food in front of him now.

...if she wasn't, she flushed AGAIN after that. "I'll keep that in ...mind. Thanks." Neptune stared at Ivan. O__O Giant blue eyes on him. She moved a basket of muffins his way so he'd shut up. Fill his mouth and just... SHHHH. Gosh.

But nooooo he just kept on. And on and on.

Neptune flashed a look to Jimmy.

....nervous!giggle.

"Lucky. He's very lucky." ...babbling. Neptune thought about putting her hand on Ivan's mouth as a better way to hush him, but she was kind of paralyzed in her seat with whirry thoughts.

And Mia just decided to be oblivious to the whole blushing and glaring at Ivan, even though she really wanted to give James a hard time. Payback for giving her one.

But then he had to go and say that. Her mouth dropped open and she stared at him. "They. Can. NOT!!" Well she hoped they couldn't. Because that would be embarrassing.

"Oh real mature Ivan." Mia decided that Ivan should always have a girlfriend or whatever because he really put him in a good mood and he was a lot more fun. Not that he hadn't been fun before but he tended to be a little tense.

She watched him for a moment an raised an eyebrow. "I thought you weren't feeling so good?" Whatever it was that he had, he had better not pass it on to her.


There was a smart aleck retort on the tip of her tongue and it almost burst out but she managed to bite it back and return Neptune's smile. "Well your house does seem to have the best looking guys." But that's not why she was over here. "I was just giving James his birthday present even though it's a bit late."

Why would she hear from Jake? "Um...no. We weren't exactly close." Okay there was that time up in the owlery when she helped him out but then she seemed to be helping everyone out. "Did you two break up?"

Mia too stared at Ivan and if she was any good at magic, she would have cast the 'Silenco' charm at him. She gave him a look. "What is wrong with you?"

Ivan was pushing his luck, but Jim knew the guy was joking. Still, it was difficult to stay cool and casual. He thought about puppies and Quidditch and gardening and ice cream. Pleasant things that didn't get him twitchy. It was a good way of saving Ivan's face from getting a pummeling.

"And so now finish it." He suggested quietly, giving Ivan a look. "Thats low." Ouch. The girlfriend thing. He was mostly over Marie but still...

...still. Not quite.

He swallowed roughly.

"Yeah, you're a good friend. But sometimes you can be a right tosser." Ivan knew that well enough to be sure. He was CLEARLY doing it on purpose and enjoying himself. Jim sighed to himself and tucked into his fourth plate of food.

"She'd feel Ravenclaw every day if she weren't such a loyal little 'puff." Loyal to Nik. Yeah Jim was so sure... grin. If nothing else, Ivan and Finla.... yeah. Well. They'd be all tongues out, eager puppy dog doing things that behavioral training oughta cure them of.

... Jake.

Right.

Bacon.

....

More bacon.

Jim just ate his bacon.

He grinned gently at Mia. She was quite gullible wasn't she? He chuckled and reached over, using his little finger to lift her jaw up again. He was definitely teasing. Whether or not others could tell, they probably imagined at least.

He ate some more of his food while Mia spoke to Ivan and then lifted his head to glance between her and Neptune.

"She made me this scarf and this... this... man-bracelet." Errr. He grinned and modeled both.

He tried to pretend like he wasn't interested in the Jake thing. The ... break up thing. He went quiet, not even chiming in with comments about how 'EVERYTHING was wrong with Ivan and the healers were BAFFLED', like he usually might have.

YAAAAAY another blush for him. Oh he could keep this up all day it was quite amusing. Ivan pretended not to see the look Neptune was giving him and grinned as she pushed muffins in front of him "YAY!" He said as he pulled one..or three out.

"That's what I thought," he said cheekily and gave a smirk to Neptune. Yup he KNEEEEEEEEW. Couldn't hide from Admiral Vorpatril after all.

"Thank you, Mia. I do try," he said smartly as she spoke to him and took a big bite into the muffin with a grin. "I wasn't? I dunno. It's been coming and going for a few days now. Not sure what it is. I feel sick then I feel starved like I hadn't eaten anything." He shrugged and took another bite out of the muffin. Mmm these were good.

"What is wrong with me?" he asked looking at her blankly. Was something wrong with him? Had he grown a horn? Wouldn't put it past James to do it after all. Just to be sure he reached a hand up and touched his head. Nope no horns or antlers. Whew. "Nothings wrong with me...."

Hearing James though he tossed a muffin at him and rolled his eyes, "I'm joking. Lower the testosterone level a bit mate."

Oh and now he was a tosser. Someone was moody. He gave a shrug and looked through the muffin basket for a blueberry one. WOOHOO. As soon as he bit into it though he made a face and wrapped his arms around his stomach, "And it comes again..."

"Current company excluded?" Neptune laughed. KIDDING. She was kidding. She was.... Neptune looked between the boys. Yeah. Kidding. "The thing about being in Ravenclaw AND being pretty is that we all already know it, too." Giggle.

Neptune shrugged, nonchalant. Maybe it was just Mia, or Neptune's own issues, but she had thought Jake and Mia WERE close..ish. "Yeah... yeah. I uhm... yeah. The day I got back here, actually. He's okay though." Or last she'd heard from him.

Neptune listened to Jim, then turned her compliments to Mia, "That was very thoughtful of you, Mia. I wouldn't know where to even begin making a scarf. My birthday is in February, you know." GRIN. Neptune wouldn't mind a hand made scarf... juuuuust saying.

Oh and now he was a tosser. Someone was moody. He gave a shrug and looked through the muffin basket for a blueberry one. WOOHOO. As soon as he bit into it though he made a face and wrapped his arms around his stomach, "And it comes again..."

Neptune stole a muffin from his basket. Sigh. Ivan was ... forever making her blush. Even just his YAY made her blush again, like he was having a go at her.

"There IS something wrong with you." Oh. And like, REALLY wrong with him... "Oh... oh." Neptune slid back his way and put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't puke at the table, okay?"

If she didn't like James so much, she would probably smack him for teasing her all the time. Actually no she wouldn't. The last time she had actually hit someone, she had almost broken her hand.

Of course she didn't fail to notice the slight stammering and then the sudden silence when Jake's name was brought up. Perhaps a little payback was in order. "What's the matter James? Kneazle got your tongue?"




Mia raised her eyebrows at Ivan and then smirked. "You probably got a big tape worm wriggling around in your stomach feeding on all the food you're eating. Better make sure you keep it well fed otherwise it will start eating your insides." Okay that was totally gross and so not true but it would be amusing if he did believe her.

Seriously this was like Déjà vu with her and James talking. Ivan and Neptune flirting and James getting all cranky. She looked at Ivan when he claimed there was nothing wrong with him. "Says you." she teased and poked her tongue out at him again.




Must be why Mia was not in Ravenclaw, she didn't know a whole lot.

It seemed to be a trend. Couples breaking up left, right and centre. Except her of course. She was one of the lucky ones. And Neptune was just full of surprises, she was actually thinking about Jake before herself. "Well I'm glad he's okay." Mia knew that the former Huffie could be a little on the sensitive side. She had after all comforted the guy last year. "And are you okay?" She glanced out of the corner of her eye at James, not really knowing if this was awkward or not for him. But she couldn't help making sure that Neptune was okay.

Mia shrugged her shoulders. "I would have liked to have made him something a bit better but I don't have the necessary tools here." And there was no point in trying to use magic because that would just end in disaster. Although she was getting better. At the mention of Neptune's birthday, by the actual girl herself, Mia blinked a couple of times at her. "Well I could teach you how to knit a scarf. For your birthday." Her lips twitched a little before letting out a little giggle. "I'm just teasing. I'll make you a scarf for your birthday. I'll even make it all sparkly and stuff." Because all girls liked sparkly things.

Whoo! After an hour or so of killing time outside, Kana was EX-HAUSTED!

She entered the great hall, still wearing her tree-climbing gloves, which resembled biker gloves. As usual, she wore her black hoodie and a new pair of dark jeans, having torn another pair. She walked with a very slight limp on her right leg from where she hurt her knee a few days before. Her black tennis shoes were dusted over with light sand. She tucked away her muggle mp3 player into the front pocket of her hoodie and smoothed her neon red hair with one hand.

Taking a seat at the table, she immediately reached for an apple, a green one, and took a bit bite out of it. She remembered that Lord Borr's "assignment" was to do specific exercises. After she took a few moments to get something to eat, she was going to head up to the training room, just to see what exactly was up there.

CELERY!!!!! Celery was Presley's favorite food ever. With the added bonus of it being negative calories, it also was delicious. Presley grabbed two sticks and started eating one. When she was little, she used to slather then in nutella, now she realized how sick and unhealthy that was. Now she ate celery plain. She looked over the table. Nothing else it held seemed remotely appealing to her at the moment. She took a couple of swallows of water, and other celery stick in hand stood, and exited the Great Hall

Jim dodged the muffin that Ivan threw at him but didn't otherwise answer. He was too busy looking at Mia so that he wouldn't STARE at Neptune. Most of the current conversation passed him by but he smiled vaguely in the right places.

Whats this about Kneazles?

... "I didn't know." He said quietly, blinking past Mia and looking at Neptune. "About Jake. I... I didn't know."

Alfie walked into the Great Hall quietly, her black boots making soft shuffling noises as she entered the grand room, four long tables extended before her; intimidating. Her blue eyes widened just slightly as she viewed them, taking in the sight of the seemingly endless students eating and socializing, they all seemed to know each other. She had her class schedule clutched in her pale hands, her long blonde hair pulled back into a low ponytail and her school bag hanging over her shoulder.

Now...what was it that the headmaster had told her? Ravenclaw. Yeah, that was it. Blue, silver, ravens; Alfie quickly found the table that matched the requirements, spotting the blue banners above one of the long tables. Their robes had the same emblem as her own, though hers seemed to feel much more uncomfortable to her. Everyone else looked just fine in their robes, but she couldn't seem to help but feel a little itchy and warm. She scanned the rest of the hall, not necessarily nervous, but not exactly thrilled either. What was she supposed to do? Walk over to the table and sit down next to some random people?

Alfie sighed softly to herself, seeming to be nonchalant on the outside but freaking out just a little on the inside. She didn't really understand the point of coming to this new school, she didn't understand why she was being tortured with the challenge of finding new friends in a new place at the beginning of her fourth year. Oh, and of all things, she was late. The year had already started, and here she was, trying to mix into the crowd unnoticed. Great.

Feeling the anxiety of dealing with all these people, she quickly decided that she wasn't that hungry in the first place. So if she wasn't hungry, she didn't have to be in this giant hall, right? Right. Alfie turned on her heel quickly and exited the Great Hall just as fast as she'd entered, starting towards another direction. Might as well explore a little, right?

OI! Was she stealing his muffins? Hmph. Though he couldn't really bring himself to care at the moment he felt so badly. "I don't feel like I'm going to puke..." Well yet anyway. He eyed the muffin in his hand and set it down on the plate before pushing the basket away. Yeah...he was done with the food for right now. Like really done. He poured a glass of water and placed it
against his head to try and cool him down. He felt like he was burning up.

Turning his eyed toward Mia he frowned. "Ha, ha, ha. Aren't you so funny. Been taking lessons on how to be comedic have you?" He laid his head down on his arms and stuck his tongue out at her again before closing his eyes. Maybe he should go to bed.

"If you didn't know about that then why were you two-" he started to say to James before a sharp pain hit his stomach. "OW!" He clutched his stomach with one arm while burying his head in his arm.

Neptune was utterly perplexed by that question. Was SHE okay? Neptune didn't know how to answer, so she simply didn't. She picked at the muffin instead.

"Teach me how to knit?" Giggle. "Okay. I think I would like that, actually." As strange as that might be. But she'd also take a free and glittery scarf too. And mittens, and a hat too? Too much?

Neptune also didn't know how to reply to that. She turned her attention to Jim, though it hardly ever faltered from him as it were, and pressed her lips together. Neptune LOOKED at Jim before finally deciding, "You should have."

Shrug.

"Here," Neptune reached up to put her palm on his forehead. Was he fevery? She WAS all concern until Ivan started talking AGAIN. Her hand moved down to his mouth and covered it lightly. She couldn't HELP it though, and she laughed, "You can't help yourself, can you? It's almost Gryffindorkish. You think it and it comes right out of your mouth. Don't think about puke." Particularly not with her hand up there at his mouth.

At least she wasn't having to look at Jim. Or Mia. Just... Ivan's question HAD been a good one. Just no good answer.

James Wilkes was kinda freaking her out with the looking he was doing. For some reason it made her think of that song.

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off of you.

Hehe...

Mia was just about to snap her fingers in front of him when he suddenly spoke and it wasn't to her. She looked between James and Neptune for a moment and edge away from James and stood up.

"Nah. I don't need to. I'm just that funny on my own." She giggled and then threw him a wink. "It's a talent. What can I say?" Mia giggled again as he poked his tongue out at her. Oh Merlin! He must really be sick.


Sweet Merlin!

Just when Mia thought she had Neptune all figured out she went ahead and said something like that. "Well okay then. I'll organise all the stuff we need. You let me know when you have time." If she was serious that is.

And between Neptune and James giving each other odd looks and the tension between them and Ivan about to puke everywhere, Mia decided that was her cue to leave.

She walked around to Ivan and placed her hand on his shoulder and she spoke to him. "Come on Ivan, let's get you to the hospital wing or the nearest bathroom at the very least." She looked at Neptune and gave an imperceptible nod of her head in James' direction.
