Jez knew she had three options here -
a) take the girl's word that everything was cool, and walk away,
b) keep talking, and hope her friends would keep backing her up,
or c) lose her temper, take out her wand, and hex them all.
Guess which one she wanted to do the most.
Jez tried to keep calm, but she couldn't help her hand twitching towards her pocket, where she could feel her wand pressing against her, willing her to use it. She was about five seconds away from doing just that ... and she didn't even completely know why she was so irritated. Stress? Boredom? Pent-up emotion? The possibilities were endless.

Throwing his hands up in the air in a frustrated gesture, Dallin turned to the first years again. "No one's getting hurt, okay? NOBODY. See? She has the wands!" He pointed to Louisa, completely forgetting that he now had his own wand back. He nodded in agreement with Louisa. This was a private conversation. Maybe they should go somewhere more private. Like a deserted hallway. Or a broom closet.

Rounding on a boy with a fake-questioning tone, Dallin nodded exasperatedly. "Yes, discussing with cake. Ever done it? Try it sometime." He was getting thoroughly annoyed and was now trying anything and everything to get the kids to leave. "Here." He took the other cake right out of Enya's hand and shoved it toward the boy. "Discuss something."

Ahem. It was then that Dallin told himself to relax. He was embarrassing himself.

Pam quietly snuck up behind Nate, holding a finger up to her mouth to motion for the others to keep quiet.

"EEEPPP!!!!!!" She hugged him tightly from behind. "NATE! I haven't seen you in forever!"

"GAAH!"

What had just happened? He thought there were only three older students involved in the food fight, and now he was being attacked from behind? The arms felt small, though, and Nate rethought. After gaining some composure back, Nate asked, "Fai?"


OOC: yeah, I know I said Fai. Just roll with it, ok?

"Erm, ok then..." said Nate, considering what to do next with the chunk of cake. "Uhh, hello, Cake. You seem to be having a rough day. What was that? Nah, I'm sure he washed his hands before grabbing you like that..." Nate said, feigning a discussion with the cake held in Dallin's hand.

Pam stepped back, feeling a little hurt. "Fai? On what terms do I look like Fai?" She said jokingly.

"Oi, don't do that!" Nate said, knowing that Jez would want to hex everyone, and noticing her twitch towards her wand. He snatched it from her pocket so she wasn't tempted. "Calm yourself a little," he said.
Nate was incredibly embarrassed. "Pam! I thought you were Fai... I haven't seen you in so long, and the only other girl to sneak up behind me and bind my arms to my sides with small, feminine arms is, well, Faina." Nate looked at the ground blushing, unable to look Pam in the eyes. Oh no, wrong girl! he thought.

Jez groaned inwardly. This was not going according to plan at all. First the fight-that-might-not-be-a-fight-but-probably-was, then almost all the T.O.P. turning up and starting to accuse wildly, then her own stupid feelings of wanting to jinx someone, feelings which were still running through her for some unknown reason, and now Nate was distracted by his friend, possibly girlfriend. But wasn't he with Faina, if the rumours were true? Jez groaned out loud. This was not going according to plan at all.

And it just kept getting better and better, didn't it? Now Nate had her wand!
"Give ... that ... back," growled Jez, clenching her jaw. Her temper was on a short fuse already, but having her wand taken away was just lighting the match to set off the fireworks. But she knew he was right. She took a deep breath, and said in a calmer voice. "Please. I'll try not to jinx them, I promise."

"I know, it's been a while. I've been caught up with school work and stuff." She looked down, knowing that she should be spending more time with her best friend. When she looked back up at him, he aswell was looking down. She felt really happy that she was seeing her best friend again. She felt.. giddy... in some way. She playfully touched his blushing cheecks and giggled.

Nate nodded, tossed her wand up and caught it so the handle was facing Jez, and presented it. "I trust you," he said.

Nate backed away as Pam touched his cheeks. Faina, Faina! he thought stubbornly. Pam's my best friend is all!..... But she likes me, too..... "Arg, why is this so hard?" he said desperately, not actually meaning it to come out of his mouth.

Pam felt guilty as soon as he backed away. "Sorry." She said, looking back at the floor. "I'm just in a happy mood. You know how loopy I get when I'm happy." When Nate spoke, she snapped her head up. "Why is what so hard?"

Jez grinned at Nate as she took the wand. "Thanks for the show." She felt herself calm down more, and her brain began sorting through her next move. What was she going to do about this possible fight? Stop it before it could escalate into something nasty? What if those older students decided to hex her or something? As much as Jez didn't hated to admit it, she was in the weaker position here. She didn't really know any spells, and the other students were more knowledgable, and Ravenclaws to boot. She cursed Tate's abnormal punishment under her breath.

She'd not been listening for a while, she was day dreaming about all the ways she could hex the first years but sadly Louisa had her wand. Enya had the thought of grabbing it from Louisa and hexing them all but then that wouldn't be a good idea, no she'd have to resort to words until Louisa gave it back to her.

"Stop!" She cried stepping forward. Trust her to be the peacemaker in all this, all she wanted was to carrying on with the conversation she'd been having with Dallin and Louisa ALONE. "If you want a fight so badly fight between yourselfs. For the last time, THERE IS NO FIGHT HAPPENING HERE" She was losing her temper not at Dallin whom she still needed to have 'words' with but with the first years.

Glaring at all the first years, really wishing she had her wand, she breathed in a few times before saying - forcing herself not to shout - "Look we were talking, yeah I threw a cake which does not mean we're fighting. Now you little twerps had better leave now or believe me you will be regretting it later. And I kid you not" With one more glare she turned back to Dallin and Louisa, Silencing Dallin with a 'Finish-this-later' look.

She knew the first years would not leave so they'd have to but not before she had a little fun. Turning away from them all she picked up a pie in each hand before turning back to the first years, she went to throw them at Dallin to fool them but in the end threw them towards the first years where they made home base. Enya quickly picked up two more cakes and threw them also getting all four first years. With a smile Enya grabbed both Dallin and Louisa by the wrist saying; "If you wont leave we will, WE WILL CONTINUE THIS IN PRIVATE" Before turning on her heel and leaving dragging both the older ones off.

Jez shrieked as the pie hit her. "Right!" She pulled out her wand, her eyes blazing. "I don't care what Tate says about casting spells, I'm going to curse that girl into next Friday!" Jez was totally out of temper now. She just had to decide which spell to shoot at the girl's retreating back - Stinging Hex, Blasting Curse, Full Body-Bind ...

Jordan yelped as he felt pie hit him, he turned around his eyes and hair was reddening with pure anger and hatred. What was this girls problem? it wasn't their fault that they had to put a stop to this! He saw a girl called Jez whip out her wand, "No! Remember, no wands!" he shouted, though he couldn't blame her at all.

"Jez calm down, we can't break any rules" he patted her on the shoulder and hoped she wouldn't hex him or something. He frowned at the girl who had thrown a pie at them, then realized he had pie all over his face. He pointed his wand at her face and said quietly "Scourgify" and it all came off.

Jez felt Scott's hand on her shoulder, rather than heard his words because there was an insane buzzing in her ears. She knew he was trying to calm her down, so she tried. The buzzing in her ears subsided. "Thank you," said Jez quietly, embarrassed now. "Sorry, I can't control my temper sometimes." It was a statement, not an excuse. There was no excuse for being stupid. She looked at Scott, and started giggling. His hair was full of pie, and stood straight up. She pointed her wand at it. "Scourgify." All gone, although his hair still looked a bit weird. "You look good that way," grinned Jez.

"Hey guys, I'd say we were successful. We managed to stop their fight! Even if it did mean turning them on us," Nate said to the rest of his group of firsties. "I'll go report to Headmaster Tate. Pam, I'll meet you in the Courtyard later?" and he turned to leave, but before going, he looked over his shoulder at Scott and Jez and said, "You two are cute..." trying to let them know that they were flirting in a situation like this. Ravenclaw had points to win! Then he promptly broke into a run towards the Headmaster's Office.

Jez stared open-mouthed at Nate. Cute? She and Scott were ... cute? She was about to ask him what he meant by that, and to tell him he still had pie on his face, when he ran off. She almost expected him to be cackling. She glanced at Scott. Cute ...
Hm.

"Your welcome" Scott smiled at her warmly, before noticing that he also had cake on not just his face, but in his hair.
"That's quite alright, whatever you were going to do, I'm sure that girl would deserve it" he grinned.
He looked at her and saw her giggling, and replied quietly "What's so funny" whilst giggling himself. He was such a girl!

She drew his wand, but he knew she wasn't going to attack him, but he wondered what she was going to do.
She cleaned his hair! Very strange.

"I see" he said smirking widely "But I always look good!" he laughed.

This boy ALWAYS spoke the truth!
"I've got to agree with you, but let's just hope that they don't continue anywhere else" Scott said with a straight face.
Apart from that. He wasn't right about that.
He went red and looked down at her in embarrassment.
Maybe he did like her? He didn't know, but he'd have to wait until his third year to find out.
He was so confused.

He lurched forward slightly, before saying "Nate! Hold up! Do you want me to come?" he thought that maybe if he got on good terms with the Headmaster, him and Erin would be more likely to be able to use Tate's Pensieve.

Jez gave Scott a light punch on the arm. "Mr Good-looking," she teased. She scraped some pie off herself and smeared it right over his face. He'd just charm it off, she knew, but it was fun doing it.
Oh good, she wasn't the only one with a red face now! Although the look of confusion really set the look off ... Jez grinned at Scott. "Ignore him, he's joking. See you in the common room or someplace." She waved as she walked away, heading for the Ravenclaw common room. Jez needed to think.

Taking a seat next to her older sister, Rose, MJ tried to look innocent. MJ always found it hard to look innocent; when she was up to something, and when she actually was innocent. Rose turned around, curiously. "Everything all right sis?" She said. MJ tried, she really did, but she couldn't bring herself to do it in the end. "Err, we've got this Potions homework..." Rose looked at the vial in MJ's hand. She asked MJ what type of potion it was. MJ told her, offering her the bottle, timidly. Rose rolled her eyes, took the bottle and swigged from the vial.

A moment or two later. "Eurgh, it's my lickle baby sister..." Rose moaned to her friend, who was sitting on the other side of her. "I can't believe I'm related to you; you're disgusting. Go sit somewhere else; I don't want something as disgusting as you ruining my appetite. I hate you!" Hatred filled Rose's eyes and tears filled MJ's.

But Rose wasn't finished yet.

Sam sat in a far away corner of the table.He was so hungry.He eat so quickly and thought how grateful it would be if there was someone to talk at the moment
............

Jez fairly ran into the Great Hall and to the Ravenclaw house table. Food! Hot food! Beautiful hot fooooood! Jez pulled a plate of chicken and another of chips towards her, feeling very hungry indeed. What was it about the combination of cold weather and ice skating that made her so ravenous? She tucked into the food on her plate, glancing around to see if her friend Erin had come yet. She'd been behind Jez, hadn't she?

Alyssa walked around the House Tables looking for Sierra. "I guess she still hasn't arrived for breakfast yet. Sigh! I was hoping that I would be able to talk with her soon. Oh well, I guess I'll continue to look ,and hopefully, I'll catch up with her before Sunday. Might as well grab some grub while I'm down here. The sausages do look delicious."

Alyssa started making her way over to the Hufflepuff table.

Trinity she walk into the great hall to eat breakfest.Sat down and make her plate Hi Alyssa good moringshe said with a smile.
