"I seemed busy? So what, you just thought you'd step in and do my job for me?" Taking the bag of potions from the girl, Cece threw the other two back in it. "Ten points from Ravenclaw. And if I ever hear of or catch you trying to pass out potions again there will be more than just points loss." With than being said Cece turned and headed back to the staff table... with the bag of potions in her hands.

She was sure Professor Lafay would find this bag very interesting.

Ronnie frowned. "Just...I hurt my head on the train real bad." she explained. And it hurt like hell. NNNG. "And plus, I feel real sick from that Portkey ride from the train. I even..." she lowered her voice a little, "..puked at the station in Hogsmeade. But I still feel terrible." she said with a sigh. And that had been no fun at all.

Ronnie smiled. "Hey, Adam." she said, hugging him back. THERE. Now she was feeling a little happier. Her head still hurt and her tummy hurt, but her mood wasn't so bad. Being with her friends really was cheering her up. If only her head and tummy could feel better too...

"You do?!" She asked. It's like Ameliah had read her mind or something. This was great! Just what she wanted. She grabbed eagerly at the bottles. "Thanks!" she said, when suddenly, the healer showed up.

And there went the potions. Oh well, maybe the Healer would help her better than Ameliah. And where'd Ameliah get or make those potions anyway?! Hmm...she'd question Ameliah on that later. That was real curious. And it didn't seem safe to take them, she didn't know if those potions would actually help her or not. She should of thought this all through before going and taking the potions all willy nilly.

Ameliah just sat quietly for the rest of the rant. She was sure if she said something she'd be in more trouble. Those rumors about Tillstorm's detention didn't sound great. A quick nod she gave at the last part, she understood fully what Tillstorm was saying about the point loss.

Ameliah grinned. "So did yah find Ollie's mousie toy? Where is heeeee?" She looked around eagerly a little bit. WHERE WAS THAT CUTE BALL OF FLUFF SO AM COULD SQUEEZE HIM? And, not to mention, Mel had to meet the kitty too. They would be, like, the unstoppable cute-balls-of-fluff duo.

SPEAKING OFFFFF. Mel popped out of Am's pocket at the sound of familiar voices.

"SQUEEE?"

Ameliah shot Adam a go-any-further-and-you-die look. WHY MUST HE MENTION IT? Am felt dizzy again. She had to use her hands to keep her head up and breathed deeply, all while trying to keep her eyes open. NOT. NOW.

Was he talking to him? Terry's eyes shot over to a student who appeared to not be from the house as everyone else around here were. Well it was the Ravenclaw table after all. He smiled a little at the greeting the boy gave him, wandering why he was speaking to him over here and not at the Slytherin table where apparently, they 'belonged'. "Hello" he greeted him back. He wasn't sure of what else to say though and it appeared that neither did the other boy.

Just as he thought that he would be ignored by the Ravenclaws, one seemed to pipe out from nowhere which surprised Terry, in a good way. She seemed shy, nervous, Terry could sympathise with her in certain situations. He stepped forward closer to her as she spoke, her voice so quiet that he could barely understand her.

"I'm Terry" he grinned in a friendly manner, trying to make her feel more comfortable with her situation. "And I don't bite," he chuckled. He was completely harmless, almost. The boy pondered as to whether to sit down next to her or just continue standing here, constantly looking out of place. He could've been a Ravenclaw, he thought. He was quite a wise young man, not necessarily clever and knowledgeable in subjects, but good at advice and knowing what to do. He guessed he got it from his mother.

"Who?" She asked concerned, wanting to know what was wrong with her distant cousin. "where is this person?"

This was one was a strange one too. Most of the older students were loud and scary but he was all quiet, maybe shy even. It was actually a refreshing change but then he wasn't a Gryffindor older kid so he really didn't have much reason to be loud and scary. Quite a relief when she thought about it. Hugo. She would commit that name to memory. "So what are you doing sitting over her all alone?" She asked with big, curious brown eyes staring straight at him.

"Really? I do!?" She nearly squealed at what she had taken for a compliment. She was glad that she seemed like a true Gryffindor because she didn't want to let her new house down. [b]"I mean I really like the thought of being a lion--now I can roar! ROOOOAAAARR!". She leaned away a and was about to apologize, incase she had hurt his ear but she got sidetracked when he mentioned the big scary world. "That's terrible!!" She didn't ever want to think about going into the world like that!!!

"Uhhh, I like it so far, just wished there would have been some kind of monster by the train to make us stopping have some meaning to it--and I wished the speeches would come already because I'm starved." Only the truth.



From the corner of her eyes she saw the woman from the train station. The one she tried giving a flyer to...she was talking something from a girl who called her Healer Tillstorm.....wait....whoa she just removed points from the girl without so much as blinking and the girl looked terrified.


Yeah...then they wanted Lex to go to her. Nope, her wrist would have to find another way to get healed because as far as she was concerned there was no longer anything wrong with it!

"Yeah, we found it." she said with a nod, which sent pain through her head. Erm. No more nodding. That really hurt. Anywho..."He's sleeping in his crate out with all my stuff. He's real tired. Poor guy..." she said. He'd gone through a lot today. He really needed sleep. And so did Ronnie. But nope! She couldn't have any right now. Hmph. No fair.

She chuckled a little at the little puff that popped out of Ameliah's pocket. "Hellooo." she said with a little wave to the puff.

Then, all of a sudden, a loud roar was heard at the table from some younger Gryffindor. Probably a firstie. Which made her jump and her head hurt a lot more. OWWWWW. She turned to the girl, a frown on her face. "Can you keep it down a bit, please?" she said, an annoyed look on her face. UGH. This headache was driving her insane! Every little thing around her was pretty much annoying her like heck! SHE JUST WANTED TO SLEEEP. THAT'S ALL SHE WANTED. Waaaaa.

Adam frowned as some woman came up, yelled, then walked away. "Uh... who is that... exactly?" She seemed mean. Adam wanted to be sure to avoid her...

A lot.

HEHEH.

"See? We got a smile outta ya!" he said brightly. Smiling was good. That meant Ronnie was happy. Happy is also good. Happy means no more grouchy teenage girls. THERE WERE TOO MANY FROM THE PAST FEW MINUTES.

Adam flinched under Ameliah's glare. She glared just like Fergus, and when Fergus glared he was about to punch something. Why did you have to teach her, Fergus? he asked in his head.

Was it wrong to be afraid of your girlfriend? Adam thougt not. But better be safe and play it off. "She's Ameliah," He jerked his head towards the Raven-hair next to him. "She doesn't...like...to talk about her - er - problem. It's more psychological than physical, though, so Tay probably won't have it."

Adam was starting to wonder why he called for this boy. He really had no idea what to say. "So I guess I'm not the only Slytherin to walk away from his table then?" This was lame. WHERE HAD THAT ADAM CHARM GO??

"Are you... newer here? I just transferred, so I have no idea what it's like here." Some conversation... maybe...?

"oh." she said looking at ameliah "I dont know, maybe.. I just.. I need her to be better."

Ameliah just nodded as Adam did his best to recover. Why were so many people scared of her? Not that she didn't mind. Fear can be a good thing.

MERLIN. Was Ameliah turning into Tillstorm? Was she going to be an evil person and strongly think that fear was the only way to rule?

Gulp.

"That was the Healer. She's evil, so I advise you don't get sick."

Mel stared a moment. WHO WAS THIS GIRL? The little blue puff continued to stare as she tried to remember. SQUEEEE!! It was the CANDY girl! Mel scurried off of Am's arm and onto the candy girl's. Yup. She smelled. Like. Jellybeans.

Ameliah giggled at her puffle, distracted momentarily, before the full effect of what Ronnie said hit her.

NO. KITTY??? It was bad enough Ameliah had to survive without her own cat, Dwalin. But NO Oliver either? Pout.

Ameliah heard a sudden roar. DANG that girl was good at roaring. Ameliah turned to the roar-er and nodded approvingly. "THAT was a quality roar. You are a true Gryffindor." Ameliah liked this girl. "Are you new here? I'm Ameliah! This is my THIRD year!"

Uuuum. WHAT? Addy tilted her head slightly to one side and quirked a brow. "What would be useful? A clogged drain? I hardly see any use in that. It would only get kind of gross after a while." Were they even having the same conversation?

Toddles didn't like carrying heavy things, well anything really, but Toddle REALLY didn't like to carry things this big. The baby elf had unfortunately not been able to reach the edges of the large potted plant like the other elfsies did so he was stuck directly underneath the pot holding it with his hands AND his head. It was beginning to squish his poor earsies.

"Toddles doesn't want to be helping you guys with this Mr. leafy thing. Toddles wants to play with the studensies. Toddles wants to PLAY Nimma!" The large PINK flowery and viney plant wasn't fun to play with. It also wasn't Toddles's as the other Elves had pointed out.

Nope.

She turned to the new voice she had heard and saw that it was a girl she had been seeing around quite a bit. She was even at the Gryffindor table, which of course was expected seeing as she was a Gryffindor too. She saw how annoyed she looked. Why did just about everyone have to give her that look? Merlin it was annoying! "I'm sorry..." She mumbled, though truthfully she couldn't care less. In her book, students that gave her annoyed looks weren't okay and if they weren't okay then she didn't care what happened to them. Hmph, meanie!

Oh, then another girl was talking to her. If she started lecturing her about her roaring too then she would just get up and go back where it would be appreciated. Wait....she said her roaring was quality roaring! She beamed over at the girl who had already introduced herself. "Thanks, I've been practising even before I knew I was going to be a lion!" She used to run around the house annoying her step-mother by roaring as loudly as possible and it looked like it had finally paid off. "I'm Alexa, first year in charge." BEAM so more.

"By the way..." She lowered her voice. "What did you do to make the healer so mad...?" She was officially scarred and even though her wrist was hurt she wouldn't be making the trip up to see her!

Then from the corner of her eye she saw another one!!! Eeek! Two elves in one night!!! This one was a bit smaller than the other so she wouldn't tackle him instead she grabbed hold of him and pulled him into a hug."Hello there little cute one." She said with a friendly giggle. "My name's Alexa and I wanna play so say you'll play with me or I won't let you go." Which was very true and if he wanted to get back to what he was doing then he would agree.

Hiccup.
The little House Elf known as Pips hiccupped, like he always did when he was nervous. The big pink plant in the big pink pot with the big pink bow and the big pink tag gave him the creeps. But, it was his duty as a House Elf to serve the studentsies and the Headmistress in any way he could. And, since that big pink tag had the Headmistress' name on it, it was his job to deliver it.

At least, that's how he saw it.

Along with Nimma, Toddles, Tippin, and Beezley, Pips made his way into the Great Hall, his large elf eyes trained on the lady at the front of the room. He was struggling under the weight of the plant, but that was to be expected from such small elves. "Pips is scared, he is," he whispered anxiously to the other elves. "Pips doesn't like the big plant." Hiccup. He bowed his head to the studentsies as they passed. "Elves is upsetting the students by interrupting their dinner, they is. And Toddles shouldn't whine. Toddles should be happy that Toddles get to deliver scary plant to Headmistress. Toddles shouldn't bother the studentsies, he shouldn't. They is probably already upset with the elvsies, they is."

Hiccup.

Time to deliver to scary plant. Yep. Yep. Nimma carried the pink plant, arms shaking under the weight and trudged down through the tables. STUDENTSIES. If Nimma wasn't helping Missus Headmistress, she'd've been asking the lovely studentsies if they needed anything. But only bold elves didn't do their jobs. And Nimma was a good elf. Yep. She shifted the weight of the plant and glanced up. Toddles! Nuuh! Her orb like eyes widened further.

"Toddles! Toddles is not to bother the studentsies! Nimma will give Toddles a treat if Toddles is a good elf. Nimma knows Toddles is a good elf!" Please be a good elf baby, Toddles. For Nimma?

Nimma gave a little worried nod at Pips. "Nimma is scared too, Pips. But Nimma and Pips are a good elves and must deliver scary plant."

Tippin flicked his head side to side, as a dangling leaf from the big pink plant tickled his right ear. THE ITCH WAS FOREVER THERE. But more importantly, Tippin felt very peculiar about the monstrosity hovering above his head.

The plant was not a good plant.

Bad plant, scary plant.

"Tippin does not like this. Tippin does not like this at ALL." However, the studentsies faces were always a pleasure. He had COOKIES for the studentsies in the kitchen. CHOCOLATE CHIPPED cookies.

"Owwie, Toddles just trodded all on Tippin's toes." Naughty Toddles!

Louise walked over to the raven claw table, she wanted to talk to more people, she saw two house elves they were cute "hello how are you both today, she smiled at them

Yes, blah, blah, blah. No playing with the studensies TODDLES GOT IT!

Toddles just continued to walk with the plant in his hands over his head the way the other elfsies showed him and just walked where they said to go. He couldn't see anyways. The plant was weird but Toddles still poked it a few times when it was in the Kitchen, Nimma didn't know and Algumus REALLY didn't know.

TREAT?! O____O

"Toddles will be good Nimma." Yes, he needed a treat. He hadn't had a treat since they left the Kitchens a few minutes ago.

And crunch went Tippin's foot. "Oopsies sorry Tippin, Mabe tippin shouldn't put his feet there. Silly Tippin."
But the studensies WANTED to play with Toddles.

"Nope, Misses. Toddles is being a good elf. I can't play with you, I half to help the Headmistress with the red hair or else I won't get a treat. Do you want Toddles to not get a treat?!"

Big doe eyes.

Nope, didn't think so.

Awww so he had to work for a treat...that wasn't fun and once again it all led back to the red headed Headmistress. She pouted a little at his answer. "Well what kind of treat? I can give you a treat!" But he looked all freaked out so with a sigh she reluctantly let him go. "Fine...but will you and your friends play with me later??" They couldn't have been busy later too, right??"

"I promise you I won't," Adam said in an undertone, laughing a little. "Though honestly, she seems a lot nicer than the Transfiguration Professor at Sneezey." Which was just sad. Sneezey was so uptight! 'Joo must allwaiize doo jour best et ezeryting!' It was annoying.

Suddenly a bright pink mass appeared from nowhere. It actually temporarily blinded Adam. No wonder the poor elf didn't want to carry it. THAT POOR CREATURE. But Adam didn't interfere, those other elves were set on their job.

Ariella was talking to a few students when four or five little creatures came in carrying a big plant, "Oh my gosh! You must be house elves!" Ari said alound as she watched them struggle, "Do guys want any help with that?"

Pips' eyes darted from toddles to the other elves to the studentsies. "Toddles must hush," he told the baby elf when he started to bother a young girl. "Toddles must not bother the studentsie! Elves is going to the Headmistress with the red hair and is giving her the scary plant." He didn't want to hold the thing anymore. It was scary.

Hiccup.

He relaxed a bit when Nimma began to handle the baby elf. It was a good thing Nimma had come along, she knew how to deal with Toddles. "Nimma and Pips are very brave elvsies, they are." And then... bad Toddles! Stepping on Tippin's toes! "Pips wants to know if Tippin's toes are okay, he does. Elvsies can stop and let Tipin rest if Tippin's toes are trampled." Poor Tippin.

Pips bowed his head when a young studentsie came up to him. "Thank you, Mistress Studentsie, but Elves is going to deliver big scary plant to miss Headmistress now."

Ariella giggled. They were adorable! And also very determine, she learned as they denied her offer, "Well it just looks kind of heavy, and wouldn't mind bringing up to her for you! We can all go up to her together..." She felt really bad about them having to carry it...

"Tippin is not silly! Tippin is a good house elf!!" He insisted, letting out a little whimper as the weight of the plant became a bit more apparent. It was too big for their little bodies.

A rest? Noooooo. "The big pinkie plant must be delivered to head madam-mistress. Tippin must continue!" Tippin must not disappoint miss-ladyship! A rest was out of the question!

"Tippin's toes will be okay."

Tippin would soldier on.

"Thank you, kind studentsie! Thank you!" Tippin offered his gratitude to the kind studentsie. So kind indeed. "But studentsies must rest on the tables. Studentsies must be tired after the long journey."

And studentsies could not be responsible for elvies jobs!?

Ameliah beamed at the beam. She liked it when people beamed at her. It meant she was nice. NICENESS IS AMAZING TO HAVE.

What did she do? Hm, what DID she do...? That Healer is always yelling at someone for something. "I was going to help Ronnie get rid of her headache with a potion, aaaaand her Evil Highness didn't like that appparently. I advise you NEVER get sick while you're here. I managed to avoid any contact with her for the last couple years, but I guess that record just broke."

"Did you know there's a playground here? They just built it last year!" And Ameliah rode the HECK outta that Welsh Green spring ride, and was looking forward to Welshie again. He was her FRIEND.

SO. MANY. ELVES. Ameliah smiled at all of them. They seemed nice. She wanted to meet all of them. And that poor elvey that just wanted to play. "I'll play with you when you're not working!!" she piped up. THAT ELF WAS SO SWEET. "My name's Ameliah, so you can find me later!" Yup. He could just ask for Ameliah and she would be there, ready to play with him.
