Louisa strolled into the Great Hall, her eyes skimming over the food table for some DOUGHNUTS because she had been craving them every since this morning. She wanted some doughnuts really quick before she went back to her dorm and started on that book from professor Romanos. When the girl made it to the table, she paused next to a random girl, her eyes searching the table for the said pastry.

HMMM.

Was that a cat sitting on the girl's lap? Louisa squinted her eyes suspiciously at the cat as she plopped down next to the girl. "Never trust cats, my friend. Ever." She raised her left sprained wrist THANKS TO VIOLA.

Just as she was pouring milk into a bowl for Milly, Anna heard a voice next to her. She jumped, spilling some milk on the table before she could tip it upright. With a frown, Anna watched the milk for a moment before turning to the girl who had spoken.

Never trust a cat? "Milly's okay," she said, nodding and stroking the top of the cat's head. "She just runs off a lot. But otherwise she's a good kitten." She nodded again, turning back to her food. Then she realized that the girl had been holding up her arm, probably trying to show her something.

"Did a cat do that to you?" Anna gasped, turning quickly to look at the girl's wrist again. Surely a cat couldn't do something like that. Cats were nice.

Louisa watched the girl struggle with her milk, her eyes keeping track of the liquid spilled on the table... it better not reach the edge and seep all over Louisa's uniform. Nobody wanted an angry Louisa. Milly's a good kitten, SCOFF. "Yeah, right. She is when you have her on your lap like a doll and feed her milk." the sixth year rolled her eyes and narrowed her eyes at the said nice cat. Mhmm. Not gonna believe the angel-like aura vibing off the pet. Not when her wrist was wrapped like this.

"Yes. Viola, my cat, had to climb a tree and got stuck up there." Louisa explained calmly, her eyes following the liquid on the table first and then off to look for the doughnuts she just came here for. "Have you seen any doughnuts by any chance?" The table was just so darn long to get a good look from one side. Hmph.

Justin walked into the Great Hall with Ariana by his side. " Hey, wanna sit at the Claw's table. Mix things up in here a bit?" Justin asked her. He was feeling a bit mischevious at the moment and wanted to stir things up.

Mix things up!? well this guy was intresting! "Yesss!!!" she said a bit more excited then she should of

" Great!" Justin said as he allowed Ariana to choose a place to sit. After she had he sat beside her and looked at the spread before them as he made his mental choices. " So... What's your favourite class? " he asked as he began to fill his plate with said choices. Justin wanted to have some fun but the food came first.

"ugh none of them." she said sitting down and filling her plate with various things.

" So, what we have here is a girl who hates class and loves food?... I think I might just ask you to marry me! " he joked. " We've got quite a bit in common. Although Minnie tries dragging me to class... Always babbling about house points and whatnot."

Ariana giggled and blushed a bit "pshh house points, may i remeind you i spent 80% of last term in detention for poisoning lafay. i lost the most points for slytherin in a consecutive term i think ever last year." she pratically boasted, proud of her accomplishments

" Ahhh... So You're the one that did that...." he chuckled. " Why didn't you make that potion a little stronger? " he joked as he took a bit of his fried chicken. " I only lost ten points last term. That's it.... But I do get into my fair share of trouble. Mainly for fighting. But the last fight I got into ended up getting the kid I fought Suspended..." He saw her blush a little and smiled. " You've got very pretty eyes." he said as he moved her hair out of her eyes. " You should let themm show more. "

"yes, that was me! stronger!? i had her singing AND dancing." she talked bout it like it was some rare olympic event. " i lost 57 last term." she said a bit too proudly "trouble, hey now fighting is not good no matter the circumstances." she said quite seriously when.. HE TOUCHED HER! She quickly backed up and smacked his hand away before she realized he noted she had pretty eyes. she pushed her hair behind her shoulders "there, now there showing." she said comming off a bit coldly but not meaning to.

Justin was startled by her smacking away his hand. " Sorry.... I didn't mean to invade your space." he said as he rubbed the back of the hand she smacked. Then she pushed back her hair and revealed her eyes . " See, that suits you..." he smiled cautiously.

Ari was quick to notice she freaked him out "oh goodness, I'm so sorry. i dont know why i hit you, it was a reaction. i'm not use to being touched."

" It's quite alright, Ariana. I shouldn't have just touched you lie that. You've nothing to apologize for. Let's just forget that ever happened... Okay? " he smiled as he took the picture of water up in his hands. " Want some water? "

"no no no it's not alright." she said as she looked at him, she didnt want him to be afraid of her or anything. "yes, please." she said about the water.

Justin smiled then turned his focus onto pouring the water in her glass. " It's fine... Can I call you Ari? ... Or .. Oh nevermind... I'll call you by your full name.. Sorry. " he said nervously. So, you into any sports? " he asked trying desparately to change the subject.

she smiled "if you want to everyone else does." she shrugged "well, i dont know many muggle sports but i do like quidditch".

" Quidditch! I love quidditch. Made the house team in my first year. Haven't played much since though. But I've been training just the same. Maybe we could go flying sometime? " he asked reluctantly. " That is if you want to, Ari."

"your first year!? impressive if i may say so. iwas going to try out last term but detention got in the was and with lafay on my back this year i didnt want to chance it with her."" she took a drink of water."i'd love to go flying."

" Thanks... " he said as he blushed slightly. " You would? Great... Just let me know when you'd like to go and I'll meet you there." he smiled. Then turned back to his plate and took another heaping bite. Dabbing the corners of his mouth he added, " We could have a race. " he said with a wink.

she smirked "only if you like to lose." she teased him.

" Losing isn't in me, Sweetheart" he said competitively. " You get to know the back of me well enough to pick me out of a crowd from behind me. " he joked.

ariana chuckled as she picked at her salad "you've never raced a logan then my friend." she said nudging his shoulder.

" And you Miss. Logan have never raced a Wellheart. " he said he he bumped her shoulder with his. " Let's say we race tomorrow. If the pitch is free that is." he corrected himself.

Audrey sat down at her house's table. She observed a Slytherin and Hufflepuff talking, but it was the Hufflepuff that caught her eye. She wanted so badly to make friends after her year away, but she was much too shy to talk to anyone, much less a boy.
