She gave a little chuckle when Brooke also called him DJ. He had been trying to get people to call him that and now he finally got his wish as two out of the three of them called him that.

Her eyes went wide when Leo started acting like a wild cat. Maybe he should have just let him out. When he did she sighed but then she heard Dylan warning him to stay away from the bird too.

She looked over at Brooke when she commented on the cat situation. "Yeah I think owls are pretty common but I don't like them all that much...they tend to fall into the prey category a bit too often for my liking." She said, gesturing down at the cats that were looking up at poor Archer. When she saw Felix take another step closer she frowned. "Hey, I said leave him alone."

Felix sighed at her second warning but he didn't really care all that much. The bird looked tasty and that was all that mattered. He got lower then pounced unto the cage, knocking it to the floor and letting the bird out. That's right...come to Felix...

Well... all right, the nervousness was sort of unfounded. She didn't really know what she expected. Maybe she kind of thought that they would hate her and then smother her or something? Yeah, she knew she was crazy. Leave her alone!

"Hello again, Lex. And... it's nice to meet you, DJ." DJ sounded really cool when she said it. Like he was an actual deejay or something.

She watched a bit awkwardly as Lex and DJ scolded their cats and remembered her own. "Oh, you have cats, too? I didn't realize that they were so popular. It seemed like everyone had an owl."

She pulled out her own cat. "I'm glad I'm not the only one!"

"I am soooo sorry!" She said to Ari with a deeply apologetic look. She looked over at Archer who had been knocked right out of his cage. Poor thing, being frightened and targeted by these no good, rotten cats! She grabbed Flex into her hands immediately. "This is why I don't let you on the floor very often." She hissed at him.

Just then an older girl walked up to them and picked up the bird cage she didn't take her eyes off her even after she told them in a kinda 'old person so I know better' voice. She didn't like that voice one bit. "Well yeah..." She tried, looking down at the cat who was struggling to break free. "but Felix doesn't like the cage and he's much easier to carry when he's out of it."

Just then the cat took a nip at her finger. She dropped him immediately and watched as he set after Archer once more.

"NO! Felix!"

He looked back at her once more, finding it a little annoying that she would try to contain him at a time like this. He swished his tail at her then pounced at the bird once more.

Walking onto the platform and with her own belongings already tucked away in the luggage compartment on the train and Walnut already sitting on his throne in the prefect's compartment, Kurumi made her way badgelessky down the platform and simply tried to take everything in. She didn't want to arrive at the platform as a student leader or anything. She just wanted to come as herself. As Kurumi Hollingberry, seventh year Hogwarts student. Nothing more. Just as she had been when she had first arrived. Things had both changed and not. She had both changed and not changed.

It was simply incredible to be here now and be able to look back on it all and...

o____________________O

What in the kneazle....ALREADY?!

Spinning around on spot Kurumi spotted a small group of what appeared to be first years...with their pets now in carries and with a bird cage on the ground, opened, and a bird being let loose. Never a dull moment when Hogwarts was involved, right?

The now seventeen year old briskly made her way towards the group and promptly picked the cage back up, eyeing the feline out of the corner of her eye. She had ham and wasn't afraid to use Professor Williamson's secret method if needed. "You all should really have your pets in carriers...for their own safety," she said calmly and with a faint smile, but with obvious authority in her voice.

He felt like it had been ages since he had really, genuinely smiled and laughed with someone. Well...he smiled and laughed genuinely with Reid, but that was different. Never in his life had he met a girl that made him feel quite like this.

Uh...she was twenty-five? What the..? "At twenty five I would think someone would still be in tune to what draws a guy's attention, but maybe not." No offense to her cousin but, if she thought this was inappropriate then Chace couldn't help but imagine her chilling around with big sweaters pants that covered every inch of skin. Chace smiled. He did love that Abby was so independent and did what she wanted. It was refreshing to meet another person who felt the same way. Seriously what was so wrong with wearing or doing what you want if it makes you happy? Would her family or his family rather have them suffering through life, living like robots or something? "I think my parents' image of punk and mine are very different." Chace rolled his eyes slightly. "But if you think I look good in it, then I will continue to dress like a punk," Chace said, scrunching his face up in such a way to make himself look mockingly tough.

Chace nodded. He could tell that she didn't really want to talk about family. He couldn't blame her. He didn't particularly care for talking about his own either. Chace bit his lip slightly. Abby was incredibly attractive and he knew there was no way that he was going to be the only boy at this school to think so. "Well you are hot so I am sure guys are going to hit on you. Surely no one would be stupid enough to even look at you suggestively while I'm around since we're obviously together," Chace said with a smile, before giving her hand another squeeze. "But if anyone is too persistent you let me know and I'll take care of it." Yeah, if there was anything that Chace hated it was a guy that couldn't take no for an answer.

Dylan heard Alexa chuckle for some reason, he had no idea why but obviously she had found something amusing. He then listened as Alexa talked about owls and cats and smiled "Well I just wanted a cool looking cat you know, I just never was drawn to owls or toads or anything.. I was up for a cat.. once that looked pretty wild like Leo here" he smiled as he looked down at Leo who seemed to be interested in Archer too "Leo! Nooo" he warned him

Leo looked Dylan and rolled his eyes at being told off again

He smiled that she called him DJ.. well maybe it could catch on "Nice to meet you too Brookelyn" it was good to meet more people.. nice to hang out with all of them. He then saw her pull out her cat "That is one nice cat " and it was a nice one. Dylan then watched as Felix finally went for Archer and knocked his cage over.. poor Archer

Just then an older student came over to them and told them that their pets should be in their carriers, he listened as Alexa told her it was easier to have them out of their cages "Yeah they were getting very impatient and seemed to be getting stressed so we let them out so that they would calm down" he said looking at the pets before before looking back at the older student who seemed to asserting a bit of authority over them.. he hoped it wasnt just cause they were first years. First years or not.. he didnt really like other people apart from his parents telling him what to do. But he looked at Ariella too, he was not happy that their cats were now harassing Archer.. poor owl really was outnumbered.. 3 cats to 1 owl

Laura looked at Ella and whispered. "I sort of meet this guy Lucas, who is well nice and we sort of kissed." Laura blushed, yeah she knew she had a boyfriend but she couldn't help herself, he was just so good looking. "I know I have a boyfriend Ella." Laura knew Ella would be mad with her about this but well she didn't care she was confused. "I went to a zoo too, spend time with my muggle friends and then we had a pool party at Holly's house and then we just messed about." Laura giggled, now though what was Ella going to say about him kissing another guy.

Ronnie stood there, watching as Justin and Ariana argued. Well, THIS was awkward. She bit her lip, deciding on leaving them be. She turned and walked off, looking for someone else to talk to. Jee wiz, they needed to calm down. They were making such a big deal of, well how Ronnie saw it, such a small thing.

"It did, yeah." Chace was smart and understanding and caring.. but he was so gorgeous. That's what mattered at the end of the day, right? Not really but it did to her. But, she was kind of glad that he was more than just a pretty face. "And, I was right. I'm a great kisser, aren't I?" Abby looked pleased. Heh. She was amazing at pretty much everything.

"Um. Lets see. She's twenty-five, doesn't have a boyfriend and has dated only one guy in her entire life. Her sister earns enough for them both so she doesn't even work. She pretty much just stays at home all the time and does nothing. That's how lame she is." And, Jane expected Abby to listen to her. GOSH. Why did her parents force her to stay with them? Why? UGH. She was going to have to stay with them next summer too.. and she was already dreading it. Abby didn't mind Linda since she was never home anyway but Jane just got on her nerves. All the time. Anyway, she didn't want to think about her lame cousins now. She had better things to think about.. like Chace. And, she burst into laughter when she saw Chace's face. "I know you are a tough, hun.. but making a face like that just makes you look silly." Abby smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"You really don't have to worry about that though. If that happens, I'll make sure to tell them that I'm dating the hottest boy at school." It was going to be hard not to flirt since she did it pretty much all the time but she was sure she could manage it. She really liked Chace and besides, she was sure there was no guy out there who was as amazing as her boyfriend. "I don't have to worry about you with other girls, right?" Just checking.

Ronnie smiled a little at the sight of Ella. "Hey, Ella." she said. "Eh, not really. Ariana and Justin will NOT stop arguing and it's just...really annoying. They just need to get over it and forget about everything." she said, clenching her fists in anger. Gah! It just irratated her so much to see people argue or fight. They needed to just talk it out and be friends again.

And plus, there was something ELSE bugging her. "Er..can I uh talk to you about...a uh...another thing...?" she asked, biting her lip. She hadn't really talked to anyone about this yet, she wasn't sure if she should. But Ella felt like someone she could really talk and reason with about this...she hoped this went well.

Ronnie couldn't help but smile a little at what her friend said. She really was excited, she'd been excited ever since the first day FROM Hogwarts. She chuckled. "I'm very excited." she said simply. She had a feeling it'd be a fantastic year, as always.


Logan walked along the platform, looking around for Ella. He had to say goodbye before she left, he just had to! It'd be terrible if he didn't. She was his best friend, she was NOT leaving without a hug from him and his little gift he had gotten her.

He finally saw her with Ronnie. He sighed with relief. Phew! Good thing he didn't have to search to much to find her. She was just...right there! "ELLA!" he called as he ran over to her.
