"Something in the Minister's Office. He's an advisor or something like that." Sammy always found it funny how serious Wally was about work and such. It was not like him at all. "Mhm."

"I've never been to a muggle school either. My parents frown on that sort of thing." it looks like they were in the same boat on that issue. On the same hand though how hard could it really be it was muggle studies afterall.






Glad that Hannah had actually found someone who liked not only the sport of Quidditch but actually playing it as well."I think I am going to go watch the tryouts this year and try out next year." She had decided that much anyways because she wasn't sure how good she would be as a first year with all of the older kids trying out. Plus she wanted to see how well she would keep up with her homework and studies first. Her parents did not not understand poor grades at all. "I love Quidditch though. Good luck on your tryouts." She sincerely hoped that she would do good. Then she could give her some pointers.

"Nice. I want to work for the ministry too." Eliza thought of that esteemed building her father set off to for work every morning. It had always been the place she'd wanted to go, was there anywhere more filled with magic? - except Hogwarts of course. And to think some of the finest wizards had paced those floors; Voldemort, the Ministers' for Magic, Albus Dumbledore and other previous Headmasters of Hogwarts. After all she wasn't sure what other jobs there were for Wizards to do, and she didn't fancy being a healer, or working in Diagon Alley...

Good as long as it wasn't expected you had. Her parents hadn't wanted her socialising with... muggles. They had some funny opinions of them. Funnily enough however; she was perfectly safe wandering Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley all by herself. She couldn't see the point though, did she really care how muggle appliances worked, or how to dress normally, or how to interact with them? If she had any choice she would rarely socialise with them; she had little problem with them, but they had no magic. And Eliza ceratinly did not want to live without magic. "It can't be that hard, but it can't exactly be... hard can it?" Eliza thought out loud.

Selena beamed. It was clear that Clarke liked the girl which was good! She just hoped that Clarke didn't start chewing on her shoes to shoe his affection. She then looked at the boy and nodded. Yes, it was very much so a word. An epic word. A word that would beat all other words. Because it was that cool.

"He's a CRUP-PY," Selena corrected as the cruppy barked at Isaac for confusing him with a simple pup. Proud creature. Hmph. "The pygmy puff's name is Kent!" Selena said smiling. She liked Kent. She also liked Clarke. They were going to be best friends - the pygmy puff and cruppy, that is. "Kent also eats boogies," she added. Which wasn't cool. At all. It was just gross and weird. Eh, she supposed it could be worst... like... Kent could like eating toe jam or something. Ick.

Could Amelia call her Sel? Psht. Easiest question EVER. "Yes! Most of my friends call me Sel, or Sellie, or something or the other," Selena said beaming from ear to ear. She liked this girl. A lot. Because... the girl truly did believe in the world of cooliosity and stuffs of that sort. Selena approved. A LOT. "Good, good, and we're all going to win the house cup again! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!" Selena exclaimed. Because Slytherin was EPICTASTIMAZICAL that way. Yup.

Places? "My bestie, Emma, and I always visit the giant treehouse, it's like our favorite place. We meet there every year and jump off of the top, but I'm not sure if it's here this term, haven't checked yet... then there's... the Lake where, literally, EVERYONE goes. And there's the Kitchens - best place... EVER. And there are places just to hang, y'know, Whomping Willow if you wanna get hit by insane trees and stuff," Selena said shrugging. All she knew was Hogwarts was super awesome. Most places were super awesome. "The Astronomy tower has an awesome view," Selena added. It was always so pretty up there.

The seconder seemed to like everyone Sel didn't. Herbology was icky. Astronomy was sleepy. Potions was scary. Kids these days, then again, Sel had liked Potions in her first year... before... y'know, kids all set on fire and stuff. After that, Selena wasn't quite sure about liking the class. "My summer was pleasant, I got a cruppy and had fun with my friends," Selena said, gesturing towards the cruppy she held in her arms who let out a bark. "I hope you enjoyed your summer?" she asked.

Selena nodded in understanding. History of Magic had too many dates, too many events, too many people and it was quite hard to cram all those names into her brain. "It's okay, I'm sure you'll eventually get it all drilled in, if not... you'll just fail," Selena said, shrugging her shoulders. Just fail, because it was no big deal and all that, right? Unlesssss he planned on having a career that insisted on his passing of the examination. Who taught Care of Magical Creatures? "I think there's a new professor this term for Care of Magical Creatures, so no, I'm not quite sure who the professor is, you are, however, free to go visit him," Selena said. Because it made sense... it could be a welcome to Hogwarts kinda thing.

"What's it like in Durmstrang? I heard it was cold," Selena said. Like... really cold. Maybe even Arctic cold... or Antarctica cold. Swedish meatballs? There were different types of meatballs?! "You can ask house elves to make it for you," she pointed out. She wouldn't ask for meatballs though... she would ask for CAKE. Because cake was good.

Sammy nodded. "It sounds like it would be kinda cool...I don't know if that's where I wanna end up yet though." He couldn't imagine being stuck in an office all day. He didn't know how Wally did it to tell you the truth.

Kennedy was kind of dozing off when he felt something on his lap. He looked down and smiled. "Hello there, Harlow," he said. She reminded him of a child.

D'aaw!

Now, wasn't that cute. That made him sound like a complete softy, but it was the TRUTH. And then she... she looked like a BABY. Kennedy patted her head like his mom would when he was younger. "How's the beginning of the term treating you?" he asked.

Something at the back of his head was telling him that someone was looking his way. Kennedy slightly turned his head away from the Adorable!Harlow and saw that his instincts were correct.

Hmm...

She seemed somewhat familiar, but he had to admit it; he didn't know her. So, he smiled and waved back.

Hmm... Eliza wondered if what she'd do in the Ministry, perhaps the DLE or the Minister's Office? Or the Wizenagamot? Descisions, descisions. "What do you think of the lessons?" she asked. She still hadn't been to most of them and the ones she had attended were ok.

Blinking as the cruppy barked at him, he bit his lip to keep the laughter at bay. Apparently he didn't like being called a pup. Isaac had a lot to learn about the way creatures names changed from different areas of the world. He needed to remember cruppy not pup, like he'd been calling them the last few years. *Mental note* Nodding he blushed slightly "Forgive me fer me mistake. I still am trying te catch the differences in words from Egypt te England." Grinning at Amelia as she went to rub the cruppy's head, he wondered if his parents would let him get a cruppy. Probably not, since they travelled so much...

"I take it Slytherin won last year?" he asked, when Selena said the word again. "Earning points? How do ye do thet?" Obviously like homework, but were there other ways? Oi, he was so confused by this house points thing, he didn't want to be a slacker but needed to know how he could earn more or any at all really!

When Selena started naming off places, he made mental notes of each one. Mmmm, kitchens might be a good place to start. "Is there a certain way te get inte the kitchens, or how te find them?" He didn't even know you could go in the kitchens! "Hit by insane trees?" he asked with his eyes widening. Maybe some swimming in the lake too! Astronomy tower... "Are there any secret tunnels or something?"

She got up from the corner she was reading in and walked out of the common room.

Mikey smiled at Ad. That was great news. "I don't care, as long as I get to see her" he replied.

Ad smiled. "But be prepared. She might not be in the best of shape. She was on crutches when I went to visit" she said.

Sammy shrugged his shoulders. "They're all right. Lessons are boring to begin with...and magic doesn't make them much better." He was a smart kid, but classes sucked.

Mikey shrugged. "Like I said, as long as I get to see her.."

Ad smiled. "She'll be grateful."

Mikey smiled and leant back against the back of the leather sofa before taking another bite of chocolate.

"Oh, oh as in Clarke Kent???" Amelia asked excitedly. Yes she was a dork and liked Superman. So sue her. But it was epic, even if it was completely muggle. She used to watch it every weekend until she discovered the legends of King Arthur. After that her Superman obsession was relegated to something she'd get excited about once in a while, but didn't dwell upon too often.

Ohh. That was just gross.

"You will, but things aren't so different here, and I'm sure people will help you adjust," or Amelia would whenever he said something that confused her completely.

Amelia stopped petting Clarke, giving him a final little head scratch, before she leaned back almost completely into Isaac. She really was exhausted but she was doing her best to listen to the conversation and not give away that she was one comfortable person, or bed, away from falling asleep.

He wanted to know about secret tunnels that were probably really creepy and claustrophobia inspiring?? If he was going to find any of those he'd be counting her out.

She walked into the common room and sat in a chairaway from the others quietly.

"Eel, I guess we have nothing in common so, it was nice to meet you. Bye! "

The look on Selena's face showed him that she disliked History of Magic too. Who would like that subject, anyway? It was boring. There wasn't any spells, potions, plants nor creatures to deal with. Just the boring old books watching his as he fell asleep. That happened most of time and Hades was sure it will happen again even if it was at Hogwarts. "Oho! New professor..." he grinned as he mumbled to himself. New professors were usually the interesting ones. He should drop by at his office sometimes.

"It was," he nodded. Heck, yeah it was cold! Freezing, honestly. But his body was used to it, thus it was rather hot for him over here in Scotland even though it was cold too. "Nah, I don't want to trouble the elves," they already worked hard to feed the mankind dwelling in Hogwarts. Poor creatures, they were.

She felt absolutely stuffed, and well, fat to be honest. Who wouldn't? With all the food that she eaten during dinner, it was sort of impossible not to eat. It was getting really hard to refuse the food that the house elves cooked. It was too delicious.

She entered the common room and smiled, glad that nothing had changed. Not that she expected anything to change to be honest. But hey, this was Hogwarts, you couldn't be too sure. Without any other delays, Cass headed towards her usual seat - her favorite seat - the couch near the green fire which looked absolutely warm and inviting...

With a sigh, she sank deep into the cushions and felt her eyes grow heavy as she leaned back against the pillows...

"Yeah, they've been ok, but it feels like muggle school." she replied. Muggle school was boring. Not that she'd ever been, she could just make that assumption.

Cardigan sat on one of the cushions and looked around the common room.There were a lot of interesting people in here;she`d have to get to know them.Later on,of course.Luckily,she had grabbed her Herbology textbook,One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi,and proceeded to read some of it ,ust for pleasure.Aconite,Aconite,Aconite,she thought while searching through the book.Might as well try something new.

So this was the common room. It was ... icky. So green and miserable looking. Pathetic. You'd think that people who were deemed as "ambitious" would go for something a little less... mouldy looking.

Sighing as she stomped through the common room, she decided to go to bed. And then she saw the fireplace. It was green. And not even Floo green. PRETTY green.

Ooooh.

With a twitch of interest, Delilah wandered over to the fireplace and with a total disregard for the students already sat on the couches, the girl sat down RIGHT in front of the fireplace.

It was so pretty...

Ad looked up. "You like the chocolate?" she asked.

Atleast Eliza understood and was raised like Hannah was. Her parents were the same way. Someone that she relate to. "I seriously don't see how it can be hard. Afterall they don't even have magic." Unless maybe that was the hard part...doing things without magic and having to learn the hard way of how they do their every day life. I guess only time will tell.
