Ellie continued giving him a look. Her OWL marks had boosted her self-esteem and IQ-insecurity issues a bit, but facts were, she wasn't 'really smart'. "If I'm any type of smart, it's not exam smart. Max, you read books and stuff. You know things and you won't have trouble studying. You're going to do great." She wasn't going to say 'if I could do it, you could' again, but she was surely thinking about it.

She agreed. Save for Arithmancy. Which, she did in fact find boring, however she'd grown far too fond of Hadley to turn back from it now. Ancient Runes and Divination, though? Yeah, dirt sounded more appealing.

"Yes! Yes to all of that. Adventure and staying over and Quidditch and exploring and all of that." Still, he was right. It was super far away and they needn't go too far into detail yet. Though they could make a running list of things to do, adding onto it as the term went on. "Mine are usually flexible, as well." All she really required herself to fit into her summers was home time, which was a given and didn't need to last too long, and visiting Little Professor, which also didn't have to be for long. Not as long as she'd spent with him this summer in any case.

Awwww, Maxxxx. There was a warmness in Ellie's face that told her she was blushing. She hung her head for a moment to let her hair fall and hide her face. "I was thinking of going to talk to Vindictus about it... I have questions." Obviously. She wanted to make sure she was doing this right, so she really could play Professionally and not just coast through the next two years, hoping she'll get lucky.

"Oh, 15. I assume you're in 4th or 5th year then?" she asked. He's a one man answer. Quite hard to make a conversation with.

Yes, why would Erin say sorry? It seemed like, he didn't noticed that she was staring at him. That should be ask for an apology, right? Since, he didn't saw it, might as well leave it that way. "Yeah," she said in embarrassment and nod instead. After regaining her proper poise, "So, where'd you come from?"

Max shrugged off the idea of OWLs for the time being. The term had just begun - he didn't want to stress over them just yet. His first obstacle would be Quidditch tryouts.

The thought of spending a few days or any amount of time, really, with Ellie over the summer kind of made the term "summer break" sound a lot less painful than it normally was; however, this was another idea that Max needed to shake off. He saw no reason to get excited nearly a year ahead of time and let anticipation build for such a long time. As it was, he had a whole term with Ellie and his other Ravenclaw friends in front of him. Classes, Quidditch games, common room fun. They probably had some Quidditch parties in their near future, too.

"Questions? Like what?" Max could probably give her some advice, too. He knew a bit about going into the professional Quidditch business. "I might actually like to hear what he has to say about it, too, if you wouldn't mind me coming along." He hadn't put too much thought into what he wanted to do after Hogwarts, but he figured it could be interesting to hear Vindictus's expertise and opinion on the matter.

RAVENCLAW!!!!Oh yes!!!!She was a ravvie..She was so happy!!!!!!!!!!An excited Laura came down and sat down on one of the benches.She looked around for familiar faces, whom she had met on the train.But they were all hufflepuffs. As she looked around she saw Lyssie.'Hiya Lyssie!!!' she said waving to her excitedly.'I'm a 'claw!!,' she said

Gwen rushed towards her house table, still smirking. As she took a seat, the girl looked around, hoping to see some familiar faces. Hmm...where are they?, she asked herself, still turning her head to the left ant to the right. Suddenly, she spotted the sorting hat. Oooh, let's see who gets into Ravenclaw this year! Hopefully some normal first years, Gwendolyn thought, really hoping the dumb ones she had met on Diagon Alley would get some other house...

Clapping her hands while noticing a few more first years joining the Ravenclaw house table, Gwen couldn't help wondering what had happened to her bestie. How come I haven't seen her on the train?, the girl asked herself.

Laura noticed this girl. She looked eleder than her, probably one or two years.'Hiya I'm Laura,' she said to her.

Nickayla walked up to the ravenclaw table and sat next to abby "hey abby, were in the same house."Nickayla said to abby i am so happy nicki thourght to herself..

Hmm.. Stay up late. Sounds fun, especially since it's their first day back. "Sure." She said, pushing away some strands of her hair that was starting to cover her eyes. "But.." Beatrice took hold of Erin's shoulders, "If we're going to talk about boys, then I'm not staying up, okay?" Just so they were clear. She wouldn't want to be staying up just to listen to some stories about boys and opposite gender relationships.

"You're unbelievable, you know that? You hate cats but you like Davinci, just where is the justice in that?" That was one good combination. Hating cats but at the same time liking her cat. Pfft, indescribable. Now, play with the fork while waiting for the speech of the Headmaster. "Jayden? You know we were always the frenemy type when it comes to each other." Why, they never had the chance to sort things out between them.

She knew she became a bit rude with this one. And he was a transferee too. Beezus knew she ought to correct what she did earlier, so she faced the boy and gave him a warm smile. "Don't get me wrong. I-I was just..just a little bit..Well, I'm sorry. For kinda yelling at you like that." She said apologetically. Her bad and she was aware of it.

Just then, she heard someone who practically shouted from their side of the table just greet someone on the Hufflepuff table. Was that Alyssa? Alyssa Potter right? So..this new Eagle was a friend of hers. "Yes, you're in Ravenclaw and Ravenclaws don't shout unless very necessary.." Beezus commented as she gave the girl a quick wink.

And here's another one. Another Eagle whom she hadn't met yet, or she probably did but couldn't came to remembering. The girl looked a bit stern for her age. Well, that's Eagles for you. "Hi. Haven't I seen you before?" She asked, trying to catch the girl's attention who was seemingly busy looking at the whole Sorting Ceremony. Now that she's said it, the girl's does look familiar. Beezus could swore she had seen her before, last term to be exact.

Laura hadn't shouted. 'I'm sorry....shouldn't have shouted,' she said though..'By the way I'm Laura,' she said.

Taylor noticed a first year sit down, "Welcome to Ravenclaw. I'm Taylor." She smiled and held out her hand.

Oh. She must have thought I was serious. "Hey, it's fine." Beezus said. And the girl's hadn't shouted, she knew that. She was just trying to exaggerating things a bit.

"Nice to meet you Laura." And she reached out her hand. "I'm Beezus." Now, she would now be expecting that the girl would have that expression.

" oh hello nice to meet you Taylor, i am nickayla nicki for short." nicki said she grabbed the girls hand and shock it.

"Pleasure meeting your aquaintance....." Does she want me to call her nicki or nickalya? Taylor smiled, "What a pretty name." She held back a grimaced when the girl grabbed her hand, expecting a softer touch. Taylor laughed, "So where do you come from?"

Lilly went toward sthe Ravvie table, carefully avoiding Vlimia Maze. "Hi, I'm Lilly. I was dared to do something," she smiled, embarassed. "Your awsome. Good look winning the house cup. And that was the dare," Lilly finished, somewhat...lamely. "I'm very sorry. Dares, you know?" and with that, she walked back to the Gryffindor table.

Laura smiled.'Oh!Godly god!I thought you were serious..hi Beezus..pleasure meeting you..,' she said reaching out her hand to shake hands with Beezus

Gwen? she half smiled at her ''Hi Gwen,'' then she forced a smile it was nice to be nice

But when ever you talked to Gwen you always some how got your feelings hurt and she was cold so it was hard to look her in the eye without feeling un-comfortable! Wasn't her fault.... In fact she liked Gwen she was always friendly to her and she never said anything REALLY mean to her it's just you feel she'd thinking aboit you and stuff ''So what have been doing.. over the summer?,'' she smiled at her again to bring her bubbly 'self back





She didn't mind the first years like what was wrong with them REALLY? She never talked to them and it was nice to welcome them! Besides she loved their queer way of being nervous and making friends it was almost cute ''Haaiii... I'm LuLu! Welcome to Ravenclaw!,'' she smiled at them all






LuLu got into the feast properly now and started to.. eat! But she saw Erin and she was sort of doing her hello's to everyone! ''Haaii Erin,'' she grinned at her the thought of her going crazy over her clothes was rushing up and down her head!

Taylor wrinkled up her nose a little, Great.... it seems like im a firstie this year. She laughed at that thought, what else would she be since she did transfer? Taylor realized that she hadn't responded to the girl so she said, "Pleasure meeting you, LuLu." She smiled, "I'm Taylor."

See? She really thought that Beezus was serious. "No, was not." She said, followed by a small smile. But it didn't come. It did not. Whyyyyy? Did she not find my name unusual? Beezus thought. Weird girl.

Laura smiled..'Umm..I've never heard this name before..,' she said. She had found it weird but didn't want to say it.



Laura smiled at this girl..'Hi Lulu..I'm Laura..second year..new here though'

Well, wasn't that reaction a bit too late? This girl sure was weird. "Oh. It's not very common." she commented. What should she add? What? Uhm.. nothing. Beezus can't think of anything to say anymore so she just gave the girl a small smile.

She did realise she was eleven right? She smiled at her she was a kid an ickle firstie what she supposed to do with her! Pleasure? Okay this was getting.. creepy ''Thank you very much, it's nice to meet you to,'' Taylor she liked that it was cuute but she wasn't replying to tell her that she was laughing at her when, after her little lady like manners she should have been the one laughing! ''Presuming you are a first year, What do you think of Hogwarts so far,'' she didn't go ALL baby like on her and if she did she couldn't help it could she?

She smiled at the friends to and her their silence it was an awkward moment DANG she hated those

Laura smiled at her. She couldn't think of anything to say.She hoped this 'Beezus' wouldn't find her weird. She hated this awkward silence..'Umm..so..tell me something more about yourself..' Should she have said that?

"Oh I'm sorry, but you presume wrong." Taylor smirked, "I'm actually a second year. I transferred here from Beauxbaton." Me a first year? puhlease! i had to do that last year at the snobby school. "Hogwarts is ok, i guess, but it isn't that good." Taylor didn't care if she came across snobby right now.

As Erin said she hasn't met Nicki, she saw her run to her. Oh, she's Ravenclaw too! "Hey Nicki!" Abby said with a smile. "Meet Erin, she's second year and we were just discussing something about. But not the bad talk." Abby nodded.

"Yeah, both the food trolley and here right now." Abby said. "How do they cook so great food here? And how do they cook so much food in a day too?" Ah, curiosity. Something Abby does and does not like.

More? About her? Hmmm.. While Beezus was thinking, she couldn't help but play with the utensils in front of her. What should I tell her, more about me? "Uhm..I'm pretty good with flying.." Yeah, and she's hoping she's still be in the House Team this term. "And plants too.." Talk about being one of the Herbology Stars last term.. "Oh. And ice cream. That's definitely me." Hence, her title 'The Ice Cream Princess'.
