Orabelle gave the girl an odd look? "Why wouldn't they? Rats are bothersome and they're horrible and disgusting," Orabelle said. Besides, all they did was eat and scare people. "Uhm... get rid of them? Rats shouldn't even be within a hundred mile radius of the school," Orabelle exclaimed.

"Something wrong with horses?" Orabelle demanded to know. Given, this girl probably preferred rodents over such sophisticated creatures but pleaaassseee, who didn't love those lovely four-legged horses? No one. They were amazing and anyone who chose a furry little rodent over that was insane. A complete nutter.

What? Was this girl even being serious? "So is intelligence but your little... pet... doesn't seem to possess much of that," Orabelle said. After all, if it was, it wouldn't be scampering around the place. "It's... nice to meet you as well Lulu," Orabelle said. She refused to hold out her hand for the girl to shake. Just a moment ago the girl had been touching the ground with it.

Macy flung her head back dramatically, just narrowly missing the wall. "Oh mah gawsh I knooooow! I don't understand why they think they look so good, considering both of which make you look awful." Yes, spirally mustaches and thrusting your nose towards the ceiling were both big no-no's. And they made you look extremely unattractive.

She nodded. "Volleyball is good too." Of course, then there was also dodge ball, which, while incredibly fun was also incredibly painful. Hmm. Perhaps that was another game they ought to have laws against?

Momentarilly, Jamie seemed thoroughly confused as well as being unenthusiastic. O_____O which was crazy, because how could you NOT be enthusiastic about PANDAS?! But just as she was wondering this he came around. Whew, good!

:O at this point, Macy decided not to mention the fact that she actually owned a panda suit that would probably fit most eleven year olds. However, the prospect of ANOTHER loyal minion intrigued her. "ABSOLUTELY." Yesssss. Firstie followers!

Hmm. Now where were they going to find said first year? ... !! THEY SHOULD PUT A POSTER ON THE HOUSE NOTICE BOARD. At the thought of this fantastic idea the fourteen year old nearly jumped out of her seat. She'd seen the notice board walking in, and obviously it was a place for students to post important messages. This was a more than worthy cause. "We should put a sign on the house notice board advertising a need for our mascot. We could hold auditions and everything!" Just thinking about it made her excited!!

Hmm. Hurting heads were no good :c "We could go find you a bag of ice if you want," The kitchens were more than likely to have ice, though Macy had no idea how to get into the kitchens. And besides, she was MOAR excited about finding a firstie willing to dress up in a panda bear costume.

Connor looked at the candies. "No thank you luv, I'm not big on sweets unless they're mints as you know." He wrinkled his nose a little. those things would probably stick to his perfect smile and he just could not have that. He reached in his pocket for his roll of toothflossing stringmints and couldn't find them. He remembered putting some in her bag on the train. He would have looked himself but knowing now how she felt he did not want to seem like he had rights he did not, he asked. "Could you look in your bag and see if I left a couple rolls of me toothflossing stringmints there?" He asked. "Yeh we can do tha, I need a workout meself, maybe we can do some swimming in tha lake too." He smiled.

Connor leaned over and tapped his little friend on the shoulder. "I imagine gollum looks like a house elf." He smiled, hugging his little friend before letting her go back to her book.

Peyton nodded, of course she'll be her friend. Why not?

As soon as she accepted said friendship the first year found herself wondering if it was the right thing to do. Soon once again, she found herself between wanting to run away, cry, hide behind an older student or lose herself in the castle. Lola was hugging her AND even dared to touch her FACE! It was all happening so fast that Peyton was getting dizzy. Was this how people made friends because if it was then she'd pass out really soon.

Friendship certificate? O_O

What?!

Was this NORMAL?!

"W-Why the certificate?" she asked. Wasn't her word good enough. Pfft. She meant it, being her friend and all. Really, Fee didn't make her do that. Anyway, if she was going to have to sign something she will read it and see if it benefited her.

Baylee...

BAYLEE!

Peyton raised an eyebrow. She did NOT look like a Baylee. Plus, she didn't like that name. Even her middle name was better than that. "I'm Peyton." she said, slowly. Peyton. Not Baylee. PEYTON.

Where was a desk? Hmm!? 'Cause she really wanted to smack her head on it.

"Peyton," she said, pointing at herself and trying hard to smile. She needed to play nice that's what her daddy said. "Is in the first year and has currently lost Iris...the gecko," and why was she talking in third person?

Divine charisma and the devourer of death are compatible! Anasta Lora Riddle is convincing in irresistibility of the new acquaintance with which has met in this Common Slytherin Room, also saw in embraces with fine stranger rested in residence near the Lake...

Now she friendly considers this companion, surprising what is the sign in username on badge...

Due to correct observance of rules it is matter to say that from heart has calmed, only when it was seen the announcement of the first lesson Arithmancy.

"Yours care is magic", Anasta Lora Riddle bowed to him too in pleasant line to feel like hot clever friend.

She decided at first to have some fun with Connor, but there is very serious time to learn and to read more information, that I have to do.

"I dream see you soon in light high emotion together", she replies. Then she adds in love meditative: "It knows it`s lines. It is well rehearsed."

Fee smiled as Audrey took out her lipgloss.Such a good girl and a nice one too.Just from that action the blonde knew,this two Slytherins would get along well.Getting comfy in her armchair the blonde smiled at the brunette next to her.

"Oh most of my friends call me Fee",she said friendly.The only one that had ever called her Feenella had been her ex-boyfriend.Ughh dont think about it.Sometimes it just came back even though she was really happy with Hugo now."What about you`?"

"AND, I hear everyone at Beauxbatons are totally stuck up." Jamie rolled his eyes as he continued to insult them. Then he remembered that MACY went to Beauxbatons, arrghh! "I mean, not YOU, of course." He scratched his head, something that he always did when he was feeling nervous or awkward.

The notice board?!? Jamie had also noticed that board, but did they REALLY have the authority to put stuff up there. Maybe they should also put up a petition for Volleyball instead of Quidditch.

And if they went under secret names, no professor would found out.

"We're allowed to do that?! Ohmygaaaad, we gotta do it. Got to!" He wanted to stand up and sing a SONG about their new club to the other Slytherins. How else would they promote it? Jamie couldn't imagine everyone looking on the notice board every day for news. All those sort of people belonged in Ravenclaw.

Back to the song. It would go something like...

JOIN, join; MACY & JAMIE.
Join, JOIN; JAMIE & MACY.
As they FIGHT (fight),
For all things AWESOME IN THE WORRRRRLD.

*enter dancing panda bear*

HELLYEAH.

Jamie giggled at the thought and pondered by looking up to the ceiling. AUDITIONS! "YES. Shall we make a huge sign saying 'first years; this way'???? They will come running!" They would, because they'd be scared to ignore.

"Can't you... magic me a bag of ice?" She was a fourth year, after all. They were more advance in the... ice bag making area? Perhaps not then... "No, actually... I'm fine." If he was dying, he'd be on the floor. It had happened before. It was nice of Macy to actually care, though. Jamie smiled at her, toothily.

Helena couldn't help but grin, looking at Stallion. When Savannah waved Stallion's paw at her, she gently took it and shook it. Because the adorable creature was... adorable. Hehe.

"Oh, sure," she said, smiling. She took Stallion and held him in her arms, just as if she was holding a doll or a baby or something. She'd never do that with a baby, only with cute animals like this one. "How old is he?" Helena asked curiously, carefully scratching his ears. Most of the dogs liked that, so let's hope that Stallion liked that as well.

Dani couldn't help but laugh at him- "Oh Connor" she smirked, putting the bag of sweets aside and picking up her schoolbag/handbag- doubled as both really. She fumbled through it until she found his mints- "There ya go" she said softly, passing them to him before she threw her own sweets back into her bag- he had a silent point, those things were sugar packed. She nodded at what he said "Yeah... the lake though... I'm not so sure. It looks kinda... scary out there" she admitted, being the girl she was, she pulled up her knees to her chin, then realising that wasn't very ladylike, put her legs back down and crossed them elegantly. At Beauxbatons, the sea below the cliffs the Palace was placed on had been crystal clear and blue- hear the water was dim and dull. "But I'm willing to give it a try" she added on with a mischevious, yet still dazzling smile at him.

Macy exhaled loudly. She hadn't realized that she'd been holding her breath in all of the excitement. "Most of them, yes," she agreed, chuckling at Jamie's next comment. "Of course you didn't." PFFFFT. She was WAY too cool to be stuck up.

YESS!! BACK TO THE PANDA!!

She shrugged. "I don't see why not, people post stuff up there all the time." And there had to be a spare classroom they could use some where... Come to think of it, wasn't there one somewhere near the great hall? "And isn't there an empty classroom we could use for the auditions? Honestly, the entire idea is PERFECT!" the girl exclaimed, no longer able to contain her excitement. WHEEEE!!!

She nodded in excitement. "Of course! A HEEEUUGE sign, with bright colors. That way it'll be impossible to miss." Hey, it made sense to her. And besides, what eleven year old wouldn't want to dress up like a panda bear and follow them around everywhere?!

:O "Well I dunno, I suppose I could. I didn't think we were supposed to use magic outside of class though," Macy said warily. Hmm. Magicking a bag of ice would be loads easier. She just didn't want to get in trouble. She shrugged. "Alright, if you say so."

He looked up at the girl with a satisfied smile. "Well, why not? Come roll around with me. Although, if you want some of my candy it is much more polite to ask."

He chewed the last bite of a chocolate frog as he said this. And when he tried to swallow, he coughed. Sitting up quickly, he coughed a couple more times before he stopped entirely. "Wow." he said, his eyes watering and his face red. "You might want to be careful with the candy angels though. Bit deadly."

Regaining his composure, he patted the ground next to him, inviting the girl. "Candy angels...YAY!" he said in what he hoped was a convincing manner.

"And I wasn't talking about your friends either." Jamie said quickly. He didn't KNOW her friends, but he was just clarifying that they weren't snobs. Anything to not offend Macy. D:

"Yes, but people usually post really important stuff there." And no, he was not sugesting that their club was unimportant, but somehow, he knew that if any teachers saw it, they'd rip it up immediately. Club of awesome? No one would understand! "You'reeee doing it." Jamie would take no responsibility. YESSS, the plan was finally coming together. "Of course! We are so clever!" And WEIRD.

Jamie put on the shifty eyes, then went off to a nearby table, coming back with a parchment and quill in his hand. It was sign making time! "Excuse my writing. I can't hold quills properly." Or spell, or be normal. One he had written up the sign, he stuck it on the top of his chair, so it stuck up and was on show to the room.

Jamie stood up for impact.

"AHEMMMM." Was that loud enough?

Quote:

FIRST YRS
THIS WAY
V

That was all. Jamie sat back down and waited for the first years to crowd round them.

"We can't use magic outside classes?!? I thought it was just outside of school?" What was the point in being a wizard, ehhh? All he wanted was an ice pack, conjured by his fourth year pal. What a stupid excuse for a magical school. The third year looked back at the sign for a moment, and somehow thought that it would be completely ignored.

How awkward.

Macy shrugged again. "So?" she asked, "this is VEEERY important." Indeed it was. She rolled her eyes. "Fine." Ugh. Wimp. Besides, she'd done loads of stuff like this back at her old school, it was pretty normal for her. Heh. Maybe she'd sneak Jamie's name in there somewhere.

The girl stifled a giggle as her friend climbed up onto his chair and began to announce the empty postition of a much needed first year. In all honesty, he really wasn't that much taller while standing on it. Oh well, that wasn't something he needed to know

HEY FIRSTIES!!

One of these kids reeeeeeeally needed to volunteer to be their panda. And if they didn't well... She'd have to go make another sign to put on the notice board because Jamie's writing really was rubbish.

Macy thought quietly to herself, stroking her invisible beard. "No, I'm pretty sure we can't." Stupid rule, but who would want everybody running around hexing each other? ... Actually, that sounded like alot of fun. XD

Lola immediately turned around when she heard a very familiar voice, talking to her! EEEE WHO COULD THIS BE HEHE!??!

...

.....1!!!!

This girl. The green wig in her hand twitched uncontrollably but the girl quickly clasped her hands together to make it all stop, simpy making an innocent smile towards the girl. No no no, she was Lola Jones. She knew that. "You! HIIIIIIII! You obviously know me right?! Oh we just had such a ball at that Feast! It was fun right?!? RIGHT???" she squealed, skipping towards the girl and then made a grab for her hands.

"Ahhhh good times good times. I'm Lola Jones! I never did get to catch your name... BUT! Yes of course, I did get out of the Mashed, hehe..." But she didn't want to talk about the Potato incident, so she used Baylee's handkerchief to wipe some remains off her face even more. "Wanna be friends?" she asked excitedly, completely oblivious to the girl's attitude.

Lola glanced at the ferret. "He is so cute!" The girl's next part confused her. "What? What forest?" What forest was this girl talking about? It sounded eerie. "OOOH! That sounds fun. I think me and err... Robin? Yes, we'll have such a blast!"

"We're friends now, okay? Okay." The girl had no say in the matter whatsoever.

SEE-ERA.

This girl.

Her best friend.

"SIEEEERRRAAAA," she sang across the Common Room, as she stood behind the couch, breathing down the girl's neck. "It's me! Lola!" Was she clingy? She was definitely not clingy at all. But she wanted to embrace this friend of hers because hugs showed true friendship! Tonight, however, she didn't want to scare away the girl even more.

"I wasn't placed in Hufflepuff," she said gloomily, and she huffed and puffed in annoyance. "But it's okay! Because now we'll be friends! FOREVER! We'll see each other everyday! Aren't you excited!"

Of course she was!

"I sure am."

"Why the certificate? Have you gone daft, Baylee?"

Everyone made friendship certificates. It was simply like a prenup...except no one was getting married, and it lasted forever. Lola hadn't explained her friendship certificate ritual yet but soon, when she did feel like this girl was worthy enough to be eternal friends forever. She immediately pointed to Sierra and whispered, "See? Me and that girl are best friends forever. She's so lucky."

There was no certificate for Greingoth, yet.

Lola raised her eyebrows, simply turning her head away, hurt and confused when the girl refused to accept her very own name! "HMPH! If you want to be like that, Baylee... You obviously hate me don't you?!" HATED HER! She quickly covered her eyes and made sniffing noises, pretending to crrrrrryyyy. Lola heard what the girl said... something about geckos. And Irises. And third person (which she adored).

"Gecko?" Sniffle, "I love geckos! I love every type," sniff, "of animals..."

"You," sniff, "lost," sniff, "it?!?!"

Daft?!

She was NOT daft. Lola was hitting Peyton's last nerve, especially by calling her BAYLEE!

SHE WAS NOT BAYLEE.

It sounded like...like an underwater plant that fishes ate.

Peyton didn't care who was her friend and she didn't care about the other girl being lucky. She about to tell that to Lola when...she said Peyton hated her. NO! That wasn't it. P felt like yanking her own hair out from frustration. Was Lola missing a part of her brain?

She was crying!

P felt a tad guilty for making Lola cry. “I don't hate you,” she said and sighed. She didn't the girl enough to hate her, yet. Peyton walked over to the crying girl and patted her on her back and smiled. See, Peyton didn't hate her yet

No. Fishin'. Way! Peyton LOVED animals too. Maybe Lola wasn't too bad. “Yeah,” Peyton pouted. “She's always running away,” the gecko. It's like if Iris enjoyed making Peyton run after her.

Peyton slightly frowned. What did they want with firsties? Did they want to bully, tease, dress them up as clowns, torture or shave their hair off?

HMM? O_o

"What do you want with firsties?" she asked with shifty eyes. Oh yes, she knew what they were up to and she was TELLING.

Connor smiled at the girl. She seemed nice, but perhaps rather confused as well. He looked down at his feet when she said that his care was magic. "There is one who doesn't think so, or if she does I don't know it. She seems not to notice me as I do her and that is very hard for someone like me." He said softly, saying he is half veela without coming right out and saying he is half veela. "Having to hide my emotions toward her or clamp down on them as much as I do causes me physical pain." He massaged his throbbing temples.

When she said she dreamed of seeing them soon in something that sounded like love together he did not respond. He felt sure that just like Dani, Anasta was probably just responding to the Veela. She did not know him and Dani knew him better yes, but still he was sure that what she felt could not be in love with him. He was quite certain that In both cases it was nothing more than a schoolgirl crush.

But when she said "it knows it's lines, it is well rehearsed" he asked. "Excuse me Anasta, but what did you mean by that?" He was a singer and in a band that he had not toured with yet. But he knew his music like the back of his hand as he'd written most of it. Was that what she meant?


"Thank Ya luv." he said softly, He hugged her with one arm. "No more scary than swimming with nessie at my house." He smirked, remembering how Dani had squealed the last time because Nessie had affectionately rubbed her nose against her face and thrown her in the air, playing with her. It was conceivable

Anasta Lora Riddle listened in half of ear of the interesting interlocutor. "I will open to you my little secret, - she has made a purring sound to Connor, I am without soul point of support this last time and looking for Something". Who is there on holy site is present (the question is expedient). Here it could be found.
*Squall of feelings was carried earlier with a loop of expensive perfume*

Connor looked her as though she had lost it. He didn't understand her maybe there was a language barrier there. He smiled at her, knowing how she felt, he was uncomfortable with the purring, but he reached over and patted her knee. "Well you have friends here now, one is me."

Dani smiled warmly when he hugged her a little- blushing slightly, she must have done. "Oh gees" she laughed- "Yeah... that was a little, teeny bit scary" she smirked, remembering it- "But it was also kinda fun" she laughed as she nudged Connor slightly and smiled at him. She pulled back her curls into a high ponytail as she watched Connor. "By the way, did the bro tell you that he punched Henry? He got a massive telling off" she smirked, glad her brother actually stood up for her with that idiot.

Connor sighed. It had become painfully obvious that one again the veela had attracted someone. This girl didn't know him from merlin's housecat and it had become painfully obvious that she was feeling something more than friendship from him. He didn't say anything, he just got up and went over to the nearest painting and looked at it. He got quiet when he was upset, He put his hands to his pounding head, his eyes welled with tears he would not shed. He reached into his shirt to pull out the Good Luck Charm that Kurumi had given him that evening. He bowed his head over it for a moment, asking the magic to bring the one he loved to him. He tucked it back into his shirt and looked up at the picture of Professor Snape.

Garrett walked through the enterance in his usual toffee-nosed manner and Made his way over to his favorite chair which luckily was unoccupied he stretched out tossing his legs lazily over the arm of the oversized seat and pulled an old leather bound journal from with in his robes before he magicked a quilled and a jar of ink from his room he set the ink on the table beside him and dipped te tip of his quill in to it before he began to write.

Maddox looked around the common room for someone to talk to. She hadn't had too much luck in that department and she was getting lonely. She wasn't used to that. She sat down on the couch opposite the writing boy. "Didn't know they made boys in cute size," she said to him as a way of introduction.

Connor turned to her from where he was standing now in front of the painting. He was quite sure that she understood that why he had gotten up had nothing to do with her, but rather more to do with Anasta. "I'm glad to hear that, the foul git deserved to be punched." Connor winced through his headache. He closed his eyes for a moment.

Dani nodded and stood up, she went towards him- "Is everything okay?" she asked him softly as she rested a hand on his shoulder and looked at him, concern across her pretty features.

Connor sighed. "No Dani I'm really not ok. Can you do something for me? Get me out of here please? I need to calm down before I loose control and I don't want to go all angry veela birdboy in here and frighten the firsties." he whispered in her ear. "Just take me out of here please."
