she looked at the girl while seemingly board out of her mind.. she was suppose to be at the puff table but she was stuck here now "Professor Scabior put it on them." she said as she pointed to said professor at the front

She stared over at the girl for a moment, wondering if she should ask. After all she didn't know this girl so it might have been weird for her having ask her for some.

It only took a few more seconds of gazing to change her mind. She took the other sheet of paper and scribbled: Can I have a chocolate too...? then held it up to her.

This whole no talking thing was already getting annoying.

Mika looked down at the girl and cocked her head to the side. She had no idea how on earth why this girl was holding a piece of paper up to her. Cocking her head to the side she raised her eyebrow as she read it.

Chocolate? Oh she wanted the chocolate?

"Yeah feel free - my mum bought them when we were traveling through france" she smiled. She was about to ask why she couldn't speak when someone asked about her.

With a quick glance around, she slowly placed the cup of spit back to where it was.

She saw the source of the chocolate smell and the smell of the house elves mixed with it. It was a stale smell. Ganymede never saw so many house elves before. She resisted the urge to return to her blank stare. Instead she reached into her purple bag and pulled out a very tiny spy glass.

Leaning over and pulling her hair forward, she expertly hid the spyglass with her sleeves. It looked as if she was just resting her head on the table.

Her nebbing uncovered something, the plant that the elves were carrying was pink. Pink... what an ugly color. Another uncovered item, Lex was near the chocolates. Ganymede was aquainted with the Gryffindor. Perhaps she could weasel chocolate as well.

With one quick move, Ganymede shoved the spyglass back into her bag, stood up and strutted over to the students.

"Lex, Who's your Ravenclaw friend?" Ganymede asked while patting the back of Lex. "Hey, I got some strawberry gum if you want to trade for those chocolates." Ganymede offered with a sweet smile. ::

Oh....it was the girl who she'd smacked with the chocolate frog the year prior. She smiled innocently.

"Oh hi! Sure feel free" she smiled indicating to the chocolate. "I'm Amelia Johanson but you can ugh-um, call me Mika" she smiled.

She shook her head at the indignation of it all.

How was she to continue meeting and greeting? Did he expect her to walk away with that bloody piece of paper all night and shove it into the faces of others....as fun as that sounded she preferred doing things because she wanted to and not because she had to so she scowled at the idea.

She whipped around when she heard someone saying her name and saw that it was the girl from the boats...Ganymede...

Lex opened her mouth, once more forgetting that nothing would come out. Merlin this was getting annoying. Her first response was always to talk not write. With a heavy sigh she went back to the paper and scribbled again.

Actually we haven't been acquainted yet but I wanted some of her chocolate; can't talk...have a silencing spell on... She would have written more but that didn't seem like a good idea...

When she saw Lex trying to speak she was just confused. Why did she have a silencing charm on her. She had no idea. She dind't care but it was getting annoying when she was talking to her. I mean pffft she needed to know WHY she was silenced.

She was about to ask why she had a silencing charm on her when instead she picked up her wand and smirked over to Lex. Mika quickly cast the reversel spell and watched waiting to see what would happen. Would she start babbling like crazy?

:: Ganymede did a facepalm after hearing that. "What's your name chick?" Ganymede asked still shaking her head and wondering if she was going to have trouble with this Professor since she was with Lex.

Ganymede noticed the girl was pointing to the front, but Ganymede was afraid to see the face of the Professor. She just suggested giving the man a knuckle sandwich. Ah geez.

She just wanted chocolate. Then maybe she could figure a way to help Lex without violence.

The Ravenclaw introduced herself. "Nice to meet you Mika. Thanks for the chocolates." Ganymede rolled her eyes though, Mika did a spell.

"Did it work?" Ganymede stared at Lex. ::

"NO!!!" she jumped in front of the spell "YOU almost cost Gryffindor & slytherin 50 points! Put your wand Down!"


"Ariana is my name, and NO it didnt work thought i'll probably be speaking my thoughts till the end of the feast!" "this was just a bad day.. see that Was suppose to be a thought!"

:: "Ariana dear, she just 'almost' she got away with it. It's ok, calm down." Ganymede assured her. "You're going to attract the wrong attention... " Ganymede nodded her head toward the Professors at the Staff table.

Ganymede stuffed some chocolate in her mouth and sat down next to Lex.

"Ari..na.. jus.. shob.. sumfin.. in.. yur.. mouf." Ganymede garbled while chewing. ::

"hey i dont know who you are and im sorry i dont want to be the cause for slytherin's first 50! yes 50 points lost because YOU wanted to talk to your friend.. i will gladly go get the professor adn have him come here and silence YOU." "that came out wrong." she said to herself as she couldnt think withought it blabbing

:: "Well, I have a knuckle sandwich that you can have right now or you can shut that duckface of yours." Ganymede sneered back to Ariana. She mentally noted to prank Ariana sometime in the future with some eels or slugs.::

Yeah she figured the girl would be in shock at her being under a silencing spell she was still wondering why herself...but that didn't mean she needed to spit all over her...blink...blink....there was just nothing to say to that.

She was about to answer her question about who had put her under it but did a silent giggle when Ganymede threatened to use violence. As fun as that sounded 5 points was all she intended to lose so she wouldn't be around to watch lest she be mistaken for the one who gave the girl the idea! Noooo that wouldn't be good at all!

Oh but then the nice girl explained the predicament so she wouldn't have to waste her time scribbling on a piece of paper. Good. Her hand was getting tired.

Lex smiled when the girl said she could have one and she did. It tasted really good too so she smiled when the girl--Mika--told her how she had gotten it. The smile was to show that she heard but had no other means of responding...then she saw it. The girl raised her wand.

FKSHFDBSDPFISFBSFBJ!!!

Whoooooaaaaa!!!! Merlin!!!! Stay away from me wtih that!!! She screamed inside her head. She tried an actual scream in the vain hope to stop her.

Dear Merlin she didn't want to lose more points!!!!

O__________O

She sighed in relief when The girl jumped in front. Her life had briefly flashed before her eyes but it was all over now. Lex sighed in relief and shakily took another bite of her cookie...if she didn't know any better she'd say that was planned...

But then it seemed that Ganymede and the nice girl had gotten into something. Her eyes went wide when she threatened to get the Professor. Now she really wished she could talk.

"excuse me!? i dont think YOU know who your talking too. So i'd be quiet." "and i dont have a duckface" she said quietly since she couldnt keep thoughts in her head

:: Ganymede mimicked what Ariana said, but with a higher mocking tone, "I don't think you know who your talking too." To add more of an insult she laughed and blew a raspberry.

Ganymede dropped her voice to a whisper and leaned in to speak more privately with the older Slytherin, "Listen here, If you are a Slytherin... You'll do whatever it takes to win." Ganymede stared at the girl and added, "If this Ravenclaw and this Gryffindor get points taken off for screwing around and getting caught. So be it." She leaned back, "Let's just drop the whole thing k?" Her intention was to pick it back up later. ::

"but I'M suppose to be watching them making sure no one takes the spell off them, I dont want to risk losing points either, so just let me do what im suppose to firstie." she wasnt letting some firstie call the shots here oh no no noooo.. although Ariana liked the way this girl thought.

Mika smiled over to Ganymede. She ran her hand through her hair. "I'm Mika - call me Mika" she smiled over to her.

"And of course it worked, I'm Mika Johanson - and I'm a Ravenclaw." she smiled, well more smirked. Maybe the 'innocent creepy girl' wasn't so innocent anymore.

"Ariana is my name, and NO it didnt work thought i'll probably be speaking my thoughts till the end of the feast!" "this was just a bad day.. see that Was suppose to be a thought!"

"It didn't work did it? LEX has to speak first to know" she smirked. Yeah maybe it did work - and who cared if both Gryffindor and Slytherin lost points. Not a little Ravenclaw right?

Well, yeah she didn't want Slytherin to lose that many points. Maybe just this girl fro yelling at her. She didn't like being yelled at.

She glared at Ariana and huffed. "Well next time say it before the spell is cast." She grumbled and rolled her eyes.

Mika was grossed out. Severely grossed out by the fact that this Ganymede girl was eating and speaking at the same time. She felt like gagging and retching at the moment.

But she held back.

"Yes, calm down...thats a good idea."

When Ariana yelled at her again she just glared.

"Calm down you aren't the one who cast the spell" she glared. Her eyes flaring dangerously. This was one PEEVED girl. "Don't threaten me" she breathed out her voice dark compared to her usual peppy-sound.

Her wand just happened to be pointed at Ariana when she spoke. "If you cast Silencio at me so help me MERLIN I will cast the babbling or i don't know...." she glared. Flexing her muscles of her wand hand and wand pointing loosely at the girl.

She rolled her eyes and ran her hand through her hair. "If you don't quiet down i'll cast Tarantallegra on you and make you dance...no...that will draw attention i'll cast a body binding spell." She rolled her eyes. "But if you quiet down I wont be forced to do anything...if Scabior doesn't find out then NO one will need to lose points capiche?"

Alexa had a cat too! Cassia beamed at the girl, "I love cats!" She exclaimed. She had been meeting so many people who have cats. "I hope your cat is ok," Cassia's face fell abit. She hates when cute adorable creatures like cats get hurt. "I have two cats at home," The girl mentioned . Her lips' corners twitched up in a smile mentioning them..she had already missed despite the fact that she had only seen them this day before getting to the station. Wow..it felt like forever so many thing had happened.
Just like she expected, minor injuries they were. "I suppose that's good. You know that all the students made it to the feast," Cassia agreed with the girl. Though this wasn't supposed to be a probability right? You know when parents deliver their kids to the station they don't expect the possibility of their kids dying on the way to school! Unless you know very bad things were happening! Like dark wizards invading and that kinda stuff.

What's with the girl and darkness. Cassia shuddered at the thought of the darkness. She was glad that the darkness didn’t last long! Unlike the lioness here. Cassia managed a weak nod at that. She couldn't open her mouth and agree with that. Come one people darkness is creepy and not so cool! Gryffindors!

Eh..plan failed. Cassia scratched the back of her neck trying to think of a proper way to explain things to Alexa. She didn't want to exaggerate matters. But she ,Cassia wasn't really great at explaining things accurately and briefly. "Um….You know evil is a big word," Cassia started. Of course she meant big as in the meaning-wise not number of letters-wise, Alexa did understand that right? You know it's only four letters but they held a huge meaning. Cassia glanced at the staff table afraid that somehow the nurse would hear her. She couldn't right? "She is not so nice." Cassia tried though she had already said that right. Cassia shook her head and decided to give Alexa a very essential piece of advice. "Look just try not to go to the infirmary," She blurted ."And if you are really really hurt, and I hope you won't be, just try to find someone else help you before heading there." She said whisperingly. "You know I'd always be glad to help you ,hadn't I been a bit terrible at casting charms," Wait..did she just call herself terrible. Bad impression. "Not terrible I mean," She smiled , "Just not an expert!" Eh..that was better.



And then things started to develop. Professor Scabior came by and Theo and West seemed to be debating with Serenity and an older girl about something. And Alexa joined as well. Cassia didn't understand the whole thing but she understood that it involved a love potion! She kept watching from a distance until the final say was called out by Professor Scabior. Did he just cast a charm on them. Ooh he did. Cassia was glad she didn't get involved because she wouldn't have survived without TALKING!

But good thing Slytherin didn't lose any points. Cassia glanced at both Theo and West and flashed them a big encouraging grin! They could survive without talking right? They were boys and boys don't mind not talking. She added a dramatic nod just to show that she was grateful that they didn't cause Slytherin to lose any points. You saved the day guys along with the older student.

And she offered a smile to Serenity too. Cassia didn't know what the whole thing was about. But she knew the girl and she seemed fine! Also an encouraging nod at the girl.

And back to Alexa. Cassia gave the girl an apologetic look for having lost five points. Though she was glad that it wasn't her house. "Um..there're just five points you know," She tried.





And were those house elves. Cassia almost squeaked seeing the cute little creatures. She grinned seeing them and waved at them. Did they understand what a wave meant?! They sure did.

"if I lose points for my house because of you, then so help you merlin, your in for a thrilling year. now get your wand out of my face." Ariana sneered using her hand to move the wand away from her.. where were all these kids coming from and why did she have to be involved. she looked around to see if her boyfriend was anywhere in site.. "nope nowhere." she whispered to herself "he will find out he wants to see us all at the end of the feast to remove the charm and if he see's one's been removed then well I'll get in trouble for letting it happen."

:: From what she was inferring, this Professor Scab. uh whatever his name is pronounced was a real noodle. So he had a Slytherin watching over a Gryffindor. Lex was a nice girl and Ariana was such a ... interesting person as well.

"Professor Scabbyknees seems to be a pickle. He better not try that on me." Ganymede muttered then quickly took a peek at the Staff table to spot the man. It was the Slytherin HoH she'd have to deal with.

"I suppose you are just doing your job, eh Ariana." She tried to give a friendly smile. ::

Whoooooaaaaa!!!! Merlin!!!! Stay away from me wtih that!!! She screamed inside her head. She tried an actual scream in the vain hope to stop her.

Dear Merlin she didn't want to lose more points!!!!

O__________O

She sighed in relief when The girl jumped in front. Her life had briefly flashed before her eyes but it was all over now. Lex sighed in relief and shakily took another bite of her cookie...if she didn't know any better she'd say that was planned...

But then it seemed that Ganymede and the nice girl had gotten into something. Her eyes went wide when she threatened to get the Professor. Now she really wished she could talk.

Mika was NOT happy that she was being yelled at and she KNEW that this Lex girl was mentally YELLING at her. She frowned ran her hand through her hair and pointed her wand at the girl who was think yelling at her. THINK yelling didn't relieve stress.

And now she knew she'd lose points she wanted her to LOSE points.

Flipping her wand into the girl's direction she made the wand movement smoothly and quickly cast the reversal spell. "There" grumbled and cast it once more for safety. She thought for a moment about casting the spell on West - or anyone else as well...but she'd do that another time.

This time yelly-woman was distracted so her plan, her EVIL plan of making them ALL lose points would work.

...

Taking a deep breath she decided she DID need to cast the spell on one of the Slytherins as well she decided WHO she would cast it on. She'd wait. She'd check and see who she didn't know well enough.

"Simple thing don't talk then. Alright?" She answered to Ariana's idea of how to not get caught because the spell had been cast. She'd try again and again and again if she had to.

:: "Yikes! What if Professor Scabbyknees hears her talking?!?" Ganymede felt helpless and wished she never smelled those chocolates Mika had.

Ganymede wondered if the best spot for her would be under the table. She noticed quite a few chocolates were still uneaten. Through the chaos, she grabbed the box and slowly slumped under the table. ::

"that i am.. Now if you excuse me i have to go back to watching to make sure no one...." and she did it.. the sneaky ravenclaw did it..

"Really!? Are you kidding me!!" she said her British accent really coming though now "when he goes to remove her charm he'll notice that it's been lifted you numpty!"

"Simple. I he hears her talking then cast silencio" Mika rolled her eyes. It was OBVIOUS to the Ravenclaw. "And there are SO many people in this room how can he hear just ONE person talking?" She asked chuckling.

"That and someone else start talking and pretend you were just imitating her...simple."

Mika chuckled over to Ariana. "And Slytherin wont lose points, Gryffindor will." She smirked....and wasn't finished yet or was she? "And all you have to do is act like the spell has been removed. Simple as that."

"gosh you dont get it, i wil lose points for not watching her and making sure the spell wasnt removed from her." she didnt care about the spell or anything she was worried for her, since she had been attending hogwarts any time slytherin didnt win the house cup Ariana thought it was her fault for losing so many points. and since she was going for quidditch she didnt need a bad rep

:: "Show off! That's what you are Mika!" Ganymede complained before stuffing another chocolate in her face. Underneath the Slytherin House Table there was alot of dirty shoes and it seemed quieter than above.

Ganymede shuffled through her bag and pulled out a leather bound note book. She scribbled a few names down with a pen and then shoved it back into the bag.

She felt satisfied for the moment because so far no Professors or Prefects popped in to there little spat. ::

Isabel had seen enough this girl was trouble and she would be damned if she allowed her house to be brought down by this claw .getting up from her seat she takes out her wand and points it at the girl I think it's time for you to go back to your little nest where you belong

"Don't go all crazy clock about this" she rolled her eyes. "I mean its not like you cast the spell which would cost you fifty points for casting it plus fifty points per person." She was doing the math "I mean pfft...if it was cast from a slytherin to a slytherin the 50 points per person thing - yeah that would be 150 points for the people affected...and then another 50 against the person casting it." She rolled her eyes.

"Its not like I pointed my wand at West, Theo, or that other girl I haven't met" she indicated to the other silent girl. Indicating with her wand the entire time. Not intentionally.

She was using her wand as an indicator. Her wand pointed to Theo when she was commenting about not casting the reversal spell on him. She wasn't intending to cast it - and really, if anything went wrong. Ah well. Still, it wasn't like she had anything against anyone here.



This girl wasn't going to be threatening her. Mika turned her attention to the girl. Her wand then aimed at her.
"Okay put down that thing before you poke out someone's eye." She glared a bit. "Listen okay - my name is Mika...and I was explaining something to Ariana" she glared to Isabel.

Mika was somewhat of a rebel sometimes - yeah...but normally she was the innocent girl. Tonight not so much. "Honey look here i've been here a year before you - that means I actually know how to cast spells."

Lex's smile grew wide when Cassia said she liked cats; that was great! "Maybe our cats can play together some time..." She suggested thoughtfully. Felix needed to learn how to play nicely with others and play dates seemed to be the right remedy for that. Yes the cat would learn that there were other felines out there like him and they needed as much love.
"Oh yeah, that's very good! I think things would be a whole lot more tense if people died and I'd hate to know that on my first train ride someone didn't make it to school!" It was a horrible thought so she sought to change the subject which Cassia did when she started explaining stuff about the nurse.

Hmmm..."Well she sounds pretty evil to me from what I've heard, plus earlier I saw her take 10 points off Ravenclaw for a very silly reason." She tried not to say that too loud just in case the healer might have been listening somehow. She didn't want to lose any points for her house. That would have been the worst and would have made her a horrible lion!
Lex chuckled when the girl called herself terrible then tried to take it back. "It's okay, I wouldn't have asked you anyway. It's nothing personal but i don't trust anyone to raise a wand at me." There was no telling what could happen!

______

She sighed at Cassia when she tried to convince her that it was only 5 points. It may have only been 5 but her house would notice then they'd be angry and disown her...she didn't want to stop being a lion...

Merlin what was wrong with these people?!?!? They kept going back and forth in their arguments and none of them seemed ready to give in. She sighed a silent sigh and tried not to think about them and all the trouble they were trying to get her into...especially that Mika girl. Didn't anyone who offered chocolate have to be nice...?

That had to be like a rule or something.

When she finally relaxed enough again after that little shock she took the paper to write but dropped the pencil, letting it roll off the table and on to the ground, when she saw the girl wave her wand at her.

Seriously?! What had she done to deserve this?! She hadn't done anything to the girl!!

Before she could shout in her mind again the girl cast the spell, then cast it again. She cringe at the thought of being hit by a spell; Lex didn't trust anyone to wave a wand at her. She opened her eyes when it was over...afraid to try speaking...this was horrible. The poor 11 year old was now close to tears...55 points from Gryffindor and it would be all her fault.

She would never be nice to another girl with chocolate again...

Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the Headmistress delivering the last sentence of the speech. She swallowed hard, knowing that soon she would have to go to the Professor and let him see that someone had lifted the charm--though it wasn't her fault. If she lost any more point she would rearrange this girl's face. -___-

"Oh be quiet and eat your chocolate." she instructed the one hiding under the table

"Oh who in merlin's beard Are you!?" Ariana asked the other strange snake who appeared and seemed threatning

ooc: oh man i love it! i just cant! ariana is gonna hide in her dorm for a MONTH after all this attention
