Tay smiled, "Pleasure meeting you, Van." She shrugged, "What is your heritage?" Taylor plopped down beside the girl and pulled her legs up. "Ummm the Hot Springs and the minigolf course is fun what about you?"

"I am half Scot and half French, myself." She smiled, "Ummm I have I have two fullblooded brothers, a step brother, a half sister, a full sister, and a deceased full sister... what about you?"

"How cool." She smiled. "I am a fourth as well." Tay chuckled, "Favorite professor?"

Tay looked at her, "Uh, yeah, I mean Hogwarts is in Scotland after all... and I live in Scotland and I used to go to Beauxbaton in Southern France and I visited France every summer."

Oh thats cool she smiled then frowned thinking of her Mum and Da.I visit my great grand parents ever summer In Ireland .It seems them and and my sisters and brothers are all i have left now she teared up.

"Sorry to hear that." She shifted, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Van stopped crying and wiped her tears.sorry about I'm having a rough time.Are you alright she said tittling her thumbs.I mean i crossed the line there.

"Its fine, do you need to go to a healer or professor?" She glanced, nervously at the girl.

No I'm fine she said quietly but talking to a professor with Wisty would help she frowned.Have you met my sister she asked.

Tay shook her head, "No... I havent." She sighed and leaned back, closing her eyes. Her headache was coming back. "Oh... I forgot an adopted sister." Taylor silently chuckled.

Oh thats a shame ,is everything alright because you look ill.Thats a lot of siblings she wish she had a bigger family.Well would you like a chocolate frog.I have some in my purse i bought them this weekend.

"I am fine... I just have a small headache... no thanks..." Tay kept her eyes closed and her head back.

It's Alright she smiled.It's almost Halloween i love Halloween and my sisters and brother birthday.What doing for Halloween.

Taylor shrugged, "I dont know yet... what about you?"

Eliza was glad that Cora didn’t already know much about Muggle post. It gave her something to talk about. Something that seemed to make Cora happy! “Oh yes! They have one!” she bubbled over, eager to tell Cora more. “It’s really a lot like ours, except instead of owls they have other Muggles deliver it.” She thought she should clarify, “Well, not just any old Muggle. They have to work at the Post Office….er…like the Communication branch at the Ministry,” she explained. “Anyway so they write the addresses of where they want it to go, and the Muggle called the Post Man, or Woman, knows how to get there and they put it in a little metal box at the Muggle’s home!” She hoped how she explained it had made sense. “And of course there are telephones too, but not many magical families have those either.” She hoped that knowing all of this Muggle technology wouldn’t make her seem like an inferior witch. She’d just grown up with is was all.

“Oh gosh, I didn’t realize that Kneazles could be aggressive.” She worried that maybe she shouldn’t get one until Cora said she thought a Kneazle would like her personally. “Someone like me? Do Kneazles like little bookworms?” she joked. “I guess I would have to teach it to be nice to everyone first thing. I wouldn’t want it to hurt anyone.” She took her sketchpad out and wrote down the tips that Cora had mentioned.

She put her sketchpad away and listened to Cora talk about Quidditch. “Ah I see. I don’t think I’d be aggressive enough either. But I don’t know, maybe if I get a little better at flying I could try. It’d be really scary though…” she said. “That’s cool that you learned early. My parents wanted me to but I kept running into things,” she laughed. “I did just go to my first flying lesson and I really enjoyed it!” Eliza’s face lit up as she recalled the experience to Cora. “At first I was afraid, but then…oh wow, then I was really flying! The breeze was so nice and the way my robes whipped in the wind the faster I went…” she gestured with her hand in the air, mimicking her turning and winding around on the broom. “I loved it!” Settling herself back down she thought to ask, “Do you have a favorite professional Quidditch team? I don’t really know much about them, but I sort of tune in when my dad watches the games. Is our house team any good?”

I think I'm going to spend it with my sister and send a gift to my siblings.Their 27 on Halloween.

Tay smiled, "How nice of you." She looked at the girl again.

Matt walked into the Common Room. He quickly found himself a quiet place off in the corner of the room to sit by himself and think. He was secretly hoping that Nate and Pam would soon be in after him. Being new here, he felt intimidated. But he still maintained his dark, distant look. He would not allow these new people to get into his psyche, so he kept himself shrouded in mystery.

Elliot had hurried into the common room...she had LOTS of work to do. Lots. Loooootts.

Her date with Maxwell had gone smoothly, for the most part, but it meant that she was epicly behind on her homework. Ugh. She never was this behind...it was making her more irritable than usual...which is saying a lot, since Elliot is always irritable.

She had her backpack slung over her shoulder and a few books in her hand, including Transfiguration...the subject she was best at at the moment...

The blonde saw a guy, though, sitting in her normal chair. looking all...brooding. Or least trying. Elliot merely stared at him like he was crazy. She wanted him to MOVE. Because she wanted to sit there. She didn't much have energy to be mean right now, but it was coming...

So maybe, if she just stared long enough at him...he would get the hint...

Pam walked into the common room, hoping to find Matt. He had ran from her after transfiguration, in hopes she would chace him. She did try, but after a while, he got away. His legs were longer than hers, and he seemed to have more stamina. She paused for a moment, hoping to see him. Once she did, her smile grew. She walked over, passing the staring girl on her way. Pam just gave her a confusing glance as she walked by.
When she came to Matt, she put her books on the ground next to him, leaned her arms on the arms of the chair, and looked into Matt's eyes. For a moment, she forgot what she was doing there. His eyes seemed to have captured her. Then she remembered he got away from her. "Hey mister," She said, both in a playful and stern tone. "You got away from me."
