" Dada, hopefully this term will be good, potions is cool and flying is a very goodclass" William told Ronnie. " Of course, if yo uwant to be a the best stundent in some of yoru callses, that is your preogative" William said to Ronnie." Homework is qt least 80 perceint of your grade at HogWarts' William explained to Ronnie." I just feel depressed because we only lost a the house cup by a few points last term and I busted my behind to win it, so did Kurumi, our new prefect for girls this term among others but again we can lose because you and others do not want to do homework, but jsut classwork" Wiliam explained to Ronnie." We already have first yeasrs who are talking about hardly attending classes this term and this is not the way our founders wanted it to be like this in HogWarts" Willaim sighed. " I do have a hard time arguing with yoru reasons as the trio never graduated" William laughed.

louise sat by willlam, she was so nevous about her classes, she took out her book, and started to eat and read

Oh. "Okay. Well I'm really surprised that neither one of you had mentioned this piece of information giving the fact that you both know I'm willing to introduce you." She gave him a stern look. "When did this 'unintentional breather' take place?" She had to figure a few things out. Apparently those both hid the meeting from her... Joao maybe thought it was insignificant but Adam! He was supposed to be fully honest with her! If he hid it and sounded so.. abashed talking about it then there was more. Louisa sincerely wished there wasn't more, she had enough with the 'she & he' issue.

"Adam, I thought we were going to tell each other everything." She half-whined half-blamed him. "I'm under the impression that it's a promise kept only by me. Why is that?" Hmm?

she smiled at him yes please that will be great, thank you,. but i don't know what to say

[QUOTE=best chaser evarr;10613298] Sage smiled.
"I'm good, very excited to finally be here! Are you glad to be sorted into Gryffindor?" Sage asked. She was glad someone who she had talked to on the train had been sorted into the same house as her!

Josephine's eyes gleamed "Yeah he was! The youngest seeker in a century! My dad was Ravenclaw's seeker" she laughed as he puffed out his chest "I hope we both make it in the team!" she said, her voice gurgling with happiness.

"Yeah, hopefully!" Ronnie said. "Yeah. You're right." Ronnie said agreeing with Will. Then Ronnie's eyes popped. She looked around nervously and her ears turned pink. It was sort of her fault they lost the house cup since she had lost Gryffindor 25 points for breaking her broomstick on purpose last year. But that was in the past. She just needs to behave better this year. Ronnie nodded. "I'll make sure to stay on task and do my homework." she said smiling. "Oh really?" she asked when she heard about the first years. "Interesting." she said looking off into the distance.

Carter chuckled. "Well, it's good to hear a correct rumor is going around." Especially about him. Merlin knew that there were some untrue things going around.

He beamed. "Sure do." he said. Flying had been his absolute favorite thing about the wizarding world. "What about you?"

Carter heard some odd squeaking sounds behind him and turned to see an approaching Kurumi. ...Who suddenly looked disappointed...

He chuckled. "So you've heard too?" he asked. Really? Who was the one spreading this rumor? That person was beating him to telling everyone. "No, they are. A certain she-snake with a love of shiny things is wearing it."

Of course, he wasn't going to tell Kurumi that Destiny had nearly choked him in the process of acquiring it... Nobody needed to know that little detail.

His eyes then widened when he noticed she was sporting a badge too. "Prefect!" he exclaimed. "Congratulations!"

However, the celebrations were cut short as a house elf soon appeared. And... the young girl was now on the floor.

"Kurumi?!?" he asked leaning over and shaking the Prefect.

He aimed his wand at her face. "Aguamenti." If that didn't wake her, he wasn't sure what would.

"It was. I'm hoping it still is. But, who knows what will happen to it in the hands of a Slytherin." And yet again, Carter could have kicked himself for letting the badge go so easily.

"That's true." he said. "Well, I've played both Chaser and Keeper." he said. He wasn't sure, now that it was up to him to choose, which position he'd play. It kind of depended on the team that he'd be putting together. "Do you play at all?" he asked.

Carter shrugged. "I think things for Hogwarts elves must be different..." he said picking up his fork and immediately dropping it. Although, he wasn't quite sure why they would be allowed to have a vacation with school starting.

"A seventh year." he responded. "What about you?" Carter had never seen the younger boy before, but he didn't think the boy was a first year. He guessed the boy must have been a transfer.

Carter then was surprised by a commotion. "Guess they're not on vacation..." he mumbled as a house elf suddenly appeared. And just as suddenly as it had come, it also went.

That would have to go down as one of the weirdest things that had ever happened during the welcoming feast.

After being sorted, I walked towards the Gryffindor table. When I'm about 4 feet away from the Gryffindor table I stop short. Who am I going to sit with?? Oh no. I stand near the table and try to look for someone friendly. Oh geez.

Gideon had continued to try and clean the silverware and plates when a pop was heard. He looked up at the sound and noticed Kurumi had her attention elsewhere and following her gaze spotted the house elf that had made its appearance.

So they were at least around...

Soon enough the house-elf went to work on cleaning everything up the way only house-elves could, returning all the pieces to their rightful place. Everything seemed alright until the creature seemed to want to do bodily harm to itself. "Hey...its ok," he tried to reassure it but his attention was soon brought to his yearmate.

"Kurumi!!" he exclaimed moving to see if he could help but an older student he couldn't remember the name from the quidditch team had already stepped in. Gideon then simply stood to the side in case he more help was needed, remaining quiet as they awaited a response from the fallen prefect.

Sage walked up to the first year who must have just been sorted, just like Sage herself.

"Hello! My name's Sage!"

"Yes, life at Hogwarts wonderful!" She smiled and thought about it. "And the older you are, the more this life better. More friends and acquaintances, the more knowledge that you get here. This is the most wonderful place on the planet, I think."

"Oh! I have this huge problem!" She lowered her light-blue eyes "I just can't concentrate during the flight and was losing control over the broom. For me to fly - it's wonderful, but it is very difficult!"

"Definately Defence Against the Dark Arts! And Care of Magical Creatures, I seemed to charm a boy's rather 'spirited' ferret!" Willow laughed, thinking of Cael's ferret Jupiter.
"And yeah, I come from a long line of Purebloods myself, the Draconis line. Very proud lot!" she said rolling her eyes.
"So, have you made any friends in any other houses?"

Caroline seemed deep in thought but she snapped out of it and handed him a witty remark which he laughed at. He glanced around with a smirk and said to her,"I think all the house tables seem to be having that issue. So my question is will you go to all of them to clean them too?"

Jai smiled and looked at her,"I guess.", he said with a shrug. Jai stared at her for a second before Rafe joined them. He didn't have anything against the guy except the fact he pushed him to a place he didn't want to go. But he could over look that. He just hoped it wouldn't happen again.

He looked at Rafe and said,"Hey man."

" What are you reading?" William asked Louise " William sees that Louise is nervous. " yoou do not have to be nervous around me" Willaim said to Louise."Did yo ueat anything today?' Willaim asked Louise.

" Glad to go with you" Willaim told Louise. " I am pretty sure the healer wil ask you what happened to you" William said to Louise. " First, you need to sign in, then go to the waiting room to be called" William explained to Louise." You will need to tell the helar everything that happened to you" William smiled. " Louise, this is my friend Ronnie and my friend Ann" he introduced her to them.

" Well, thanks for agreeing with me" Willaim told Ronnie. " Your best triat- being nice to others" Willaim smiled at Ronnie." Good, thatis all I can ask of you but really that is all you can ask for yourself and Grffindor" William explained to Ronnie." The first years will come around, so I am not going to worry" William said to Ronnie. "So what is your favorite food here?" William asked Ronnie.

" " I like the plan" William told Ann." I like to have more knowledge and more friends" William said to Ann." I think this is a great place, but I love my home life" William explained to Ann.

"Nothing to be embarrassed about," Kurumi said shaking her head. As she did, her black bangs got in her eyes a few times, reminding her that she really should have trimmed them before coming to Hogwarts. Kurumi watched nervously as the boy pointed his wand at the plate. Hopefully he didn't have the same magical tendencies she did when practicing a new spell. She was usually melting things. Thank Merlin's stars that THAT had not happened this time around and the boy had done it well. "Brilliant, August," she chirped with a quiet hand clap. "That spell will come in on more than a dozen occassions while you are at Hogwarts, especially potions. Be sure to ALWAYS use that spell before you use or do ANYTHING in Professor Lafay's class."

Word from the wise, erm, wiser: just DO IT.
Kurumi's frown immediately turned upside down. "So it IS true then!" Okay, now she was back to being excited for the term. "Congratulations. I hope we can make Simon proud this term. Um, that is, assuming I make the team again." She rocked back and forth for a bit feeling a little awkward. Hopefully she would have time for tryouts this term. She had the sinking feeling that she might oversleep due to exhaustion from trying to keep up with all the first years.

A Snake who loved shiny things? Kurumi was under the impression that the older She-Snakes just didn't like anything.

"T-Thank you," she blushed.


A house elf...had been beating itself...

She had been too much in shock about that fact to have heard the reason behind it, but what IF the cause of it had been because her and Gideon had started cleaning up the table themselves? Kurumi had tried to understand the inner workings of the elves while she was in the kitchens, but you just never really knew what was going to set them off. It could be something as simple as grabbing a spoon for yourself - Twinkle certainly had been upset that she hadn't remembered the process to making a lemon cream frosting.

If that was the reason, Kurumi was never going to forgive herself.

MERLIN! SHE WAS DROWNING!

Kurumi's head shot back up, whacking right into August's who had been cradling her head. Rubbing her forehead, she saw Carter standing over her with his wand and Gideon off to the side a bit. A sheepish smile tickled the corners of her lips and her cheeks began to glow, naturally, a pinkish color.

"S-S-S-Sorry about that..." she said looking around the Gryffindor table. "D-D-Did they already leave?" She was rather disappointed that she hadn't gotten a single word in with the house elves.

Pushing herself off the ground, Kurumi heard Headmaster Tate clear his throat, which meant only one thing: speech time.

Kurumi nodded. That wouldn't be a problem, although, now she felt bad that she only had a small gift for Twinkle. Perhaps she could perform a duplication spell so that each of the house elves could receive something. She would hate to make anyone feel left out. They worked so hard after all.

Although, considering the state the table had been in, Kurumi was a little nervous about the food...
Kurumi's body grew tense. It sounded as though Headmaster Tate was giving his students a gentle and subtle warning that this group of professors were going to be intense. That had been Kurumi's impression at least. At least three of the new professors had raised their eyebrows at her.

Kurumi eyed the two empty seats at the table and frowned. Please please PLEASE don't say that Mr. Viking was coming back...

A busy year...the hairs on Kurumi's neck stood up, and that was BEFORE she was reminded that she had a special tour of the Ministry to participate in.

Suddenly, Kurumi was very nervous and she slumped down on the bench behind her to prove it.

The aroma of the feast didn't even phase her as she sat their thinking about everything that could possibly happen this coming term. Quidditch. Classes. Homework. New professors. New Students. Prefecting. Ministry tour...

She was sure that wouldn't be all.

She wasn't sure that even a nice cold glass of pumpkin juice could calm her nerves at the moment - but she certainly wouldn't reject it either.

The Green Slytherin Table...

Of course, Josh's eyes moved to there like with instinct as suddently he found himself looking for Evelyn among the crowd of Slytherins. Surely, it had never been hard for his eyes to find his girlfriend but those faces that he had not even took a glimple of before were so many that they were pretty much distracting. Not to mention all their excited acts as far as he could see from the spot. The ones at his own table weren't so different either. Aha! Then his eyes found the girl who was seemingly in a conversation with Destiny and the person sitting at her other side was...Salander.....huh.

Okay. No time to raise any jealously anger. Sal was a friend. A friend. He had to repeat this many times to...get used to it. Friendfriendfriendfriend...and so on. Oooh of of course back to Kurumi...

*ahem*

''Sorry, i have been...distracted.'' and probably the reason was obvious so he thought he did not need to explain that part. ''Land myself in detention...well...'' now that was he could not deny yet...still ''It is my detention. They torture me so it never hurts you.''

Good reasoning? Probably not...but whatever. At least there was another topic to talk about. Well...this one was a bit awkward to be honest, yet was better than detention talk. ''He sent me some...not some...lots of bath stuff...'' half of which he still had no idea now to use. ''...and i wanted to thank him.''

"Your welcome!" Ronnie said smiling. Then she blushed. "Aww, thanks Will!" she said feeling happier than she did before. "That's very sweet of you. You're very nice too!" she said. "My favorite food here..." Ronnie said thinking deeply. "What a good question. Well, I really like all the sweets basically, and the bacon and chicken! It's so hard to choose. It's all delicious! But I'd have to go with the Jell-O and chicken." she said grinning. "You?" she asked.

Rafe noticed Jai when he took a seat, but he didn't really know what to say. His behavior the last time they met was completely uncalled for. But, Jai did greet him, so maybe things could be chill between them.

"What's happening Jai?" Rafe smiled and extended his hand. It was the least he could do. It was better to extend a hand of forgiveness then using it to choke the poor guy.

Amethyst smiled as she bowed to him; the habit not near breaking. William. This was the first male she'd met the term, and she was excited! She'd never been around a boy all her life. Only women. "It's nice to meet you, William!" Her ears moved slightly. "My train was wonderful, your's?"

Caroline had gotten up to go back to her own table, She thought that the headmaster would soon make his speech soon and she would feel much better if she was with her house when that happened. She walked down the row between the two house tables. Up ahead she seen Carter and another Gryffindor boy standing around with Kurumi who looked like she mite be in some sort of trouble. She ran down the row.

By the time she got back down there Kurumi had seem to have came to. Nearly all summer of interning as a healer had caused her to respond quickly if it looked like they needed something. She mostly helped out with injuries that came with playing quidditch but she's learn a lot over the summer. "Are you okay, Kurumi?" She turned to the boys. "What happen to her?" Yep she was definitely a healer in training.

Carter smiled. "I'm sure you'll get better. You may just need practice. We've got an excellent flying instructor." he said reassuringly.

Carter smiled. "I hope so too." he said. In all honesty, he was still a little nervous about the position.

"Well, I guess we'll have to see." he said. "But I'm sure you'll do great."

Carter nodded. "You alright?" he asked. Other than being a little wet, the Prefect looked fine. "Do you want me to take you up to the Hospital Wing or something after the feast?" He was sure whoever the male prefect was would be able to help the first years out.

Did house elves scare Kurumi or something?


Carter looked up as someone joined them. He knew without looking who it was. Yep. It was the person that he'd been thinking about just minutes before...

"I... I think she's scared of house elves..." he whispered to Caroline. He did his best to try and keep his voice normal... but he was pretty sure that the effort made the conversation sound a little strained.

Although, it wasn't really his fault that he didn't know how to act around Caroline at the moment. The minutes they spent catching up on the train, back when things were normal between them, felt like days ago instead of hours ago.

Stupid note.

Why did feelings have to complicate everything?

Gideon couldn't help but let out a small sigh of relief as the spell worked on reviving Kurumi. "As long as you're ok theres no reason to be sorry," he assured her, glad to see she at least seemed okay. The 4th year nodded when he registered who the "they" were. "Aye I think they have. Probably went back to finish dinner."

That would certainly make sense especially seeing as with a glance at the front table he noticed Headmaster Tate starting his speech. His attention was split between listening and watching to make sure everything remained alright.

Yep she was definitely a healer in training.

Gideon looked over as an older Slytherin girl came up to the group ready to assist as Kurumi came to and asked questions. "I'm not really sure other then the fact she fainted at something," he answered supplying what he could.

Another year. Wow, this was going by way too fast. it only felt like last year when she first came to Hogwarts not knowing anything about witchcraft and wizardry and now...she pretty much gets it...except for flying...and Charms. Walking into the Great Hall, Elektra felt like she was home. Now, where are her two best friends?! Every year when she came back looking for Selina and Violet was the first thing she had to do. Of course, Violet was still with Chris and those two are such a cute couple. There is a reason they are still together. They are just adorable! Ok time to find Selina. She thought to herself. What better place to start than the Gryffindor House Table. She walked towards the house table looking around for that red hair just wondering where she could be. She stopped in her tracks and her eyes widened. "Oh, bloody hell." Elektra was witnessing something she never thought she would see. Selina just punched someone in the stomach. Well Elektra knew how Selina's punches felt and she winced for the poor guy. "Poor bloke." Well it looked like Selina was occupied as well. Elektra walks towards Selina and she wanted to say something to her, but she just knew that if Elektra was going to ask Selina what happened- well- Elektra might actually get punched...again. She huffs and sits down at the table just wondering what caused this. She sat there awkwardly for a moment not knowing what to say at first then saw a young Gryffindor boy sitting next to Selina and she tapped on his shoulder to get his attention. "Um, excuse me, but uh- is Selina ok?"

August just nodded, he was just glad she wasn't bossing him around. He knew the type, there were of few kids at his Muggle school that came from wealthier families than his own who tended to push for things and act high and mighty from time to time. Not that...Princess was going to be like that, he didn't know her yet; not his place to pass judgement.

When she said she assumed he was Muggleborn he nodded his head slowly, a small grin playing on his lips as she suddenly became excited. "Really? Well congradulations to me on being the first one you've met then, eh?" he kind of shrugged. It seemed weird to him that someone, a witch at that, was excited to meet a muggleborn who, until recently, hadn't even performed one spell yet. "So is this your first term at Hogwarts too?" she was definately too old to be among the younger kids that were first years so maybe, hopefully, she was a transfer student like himself.

Oh this guy really was much older than he was. August made a mental note to definately ask this boy if he ever got lost or needed help with anything. Oh what was he again? "I'm a thrid year. Just transferred here from a Muggle Jewish school in Manchester. So yep I am completely new at all of this stuff." he said waving an arm over his shoulder to incompass all of the things around into the category of 'stuff'.
"Well thanks." This girl was really nice, she deserved to be in charge of something, or at least Auggie thought so. (He didn't notice the Prefect's badge on her robes) He blushed a tiny bit as she congradulated him on his first spell going correctly and nodded his head vigorously as she gave him Potions advice. "I will try to remember this one then!"


As he was leaning over the fallen Kurumi, the older boy Carter he had been talking to, joined him and then said a funny word and water shot out of his wand into the girl's face. A bit shocked Riley looked up at him wondering why he had just thrown water into her face so unceremoniously rather than getting help but it worked nonetheless because she began to cough and then she bolted up, smacking her head right into his.

"OUCHHHH!"

He clamped his hand over his own forehead as it began to beat along with his pulse. "Urghhh...it's ok Kurumi." he said tyring to chuckle and make it look like it didn't hurt that bad. He stood up and tried to help her up as well. "So are you terrified of House Elves too?"

Just then another girl, a Slytherin this time joined them asking if they needed anymore help. "Oh, um hi. I don't think so, it looks like Kurumi is ok. And I just have a headache now." he grinned. "August Goldstein." he said holding out the hand not on his forehead to shake her's.
