Tay flinched and looked at her, "Wait... we can?" Her eyes grew big and a smile formed.

'yes.. of course we can." she chuckled as she shook her head as if she was shocked she would give any other answer "everyone deserves a second chance."

Tay smiled and nodded, "Okay, sounds good." She laughed and twirled in delight. "Maybe you arent too bad..."

" i never was THAT bad.. you guys just didnt want to accept me for who i was." and that was what she was sticking with nodnodnod

Tay rolled her eyes, "Yeah, sure." She sighed, "Like that is true." Taylor laughed and smiled at her.

"well it is.. no m atter how mean & cruel i was i was still a normal girl.. i was only cruel & mean to thoose who didnt know me."

Tay smiled, "Well, I am glad that we are friends now." She laughed, "Maybe you, Mins, and I should have a girls' day and just chill out sometime."

"i've never had a "girls day" before." she said using the air quotes it was odd, i mean sure she was girly but not like wake up 2 hours before class to get ready.. maybe 45 minutes was all she needed

Tay's eyes widen, "Never?" Her mouth was gaping for a few seconds before she covered it, "We should totally have one then!" Taylor smiled at Ariana and giggled.

Ariana laughed "I guess we HAVE to then" she said exaggerating her have but laughing at the same time

Tay laughed and smiled as well, "You are really fun to talk to ya know, Ari?" She looked up at her new friend.

[Bshe pt her hands up and gave a little shrug "i always h ave been, you were just too.. well i dont know afraid to get to see it or something."

Tay laughed, "Afraid? I wonder why." She was being sarcastic, of course. Taylor smiled at her, though.

"Okay so i was a bit horrifying, but i was still a good person under that tough shell." not that she still didnt have her tough shell

"I guess you are right about that." She laughed and smiled at Ariana.

"yeah, So when do you want to do this "girls day" thing?" she asked trying to keep the conversation moving along

The first year strode into the Great Hall, still a little bit early for dinner. It had been a long day of lessons and he was huuuuuuungry! There was hardly anyone there yet, not that Pao knew, at least. So he just loitered near the entrance, waiting for the horde to descend.

Time for dinner! At last! Entering the Great Hall - no loitering by the entrance hall this time to catch unsuspecting troublemakers, she was about to head straight for her customary seat at the dais when she caught sight of a familiar head.

"Logan?" She asked, going over to him. He seemed lost. "Is everything okay?" She had told Leanne she would keep an eye on him; it was the least she could do for not being around for his first three or so years of life.

He heard his name. And he recognized the speaker's voice. "Auntie Faith-- I mean, Professor Hadley?" he said, turning around and correcting himself. "Man, that just sounds weird." He flashed her a quick smile. It had occurred to him on the train that he would have to refer to his aunt as 'Professor Hadley,' which was just strange. "Er, yeah. Everything is fine. I'm just here a bit early, I think." Clearly. The hall was practically empty, after all.

Ooo! I bet she hasn't heard yet! "Oh, did you hear I made the Quidditch team? I can't wait to write to mum!" ..who most likely wouldn't believe him. She thought he was the most clumsy person on the planet. But not in the air!

Sophie walked around the Castle without really thinking where she was going. She felt like walking, so she... went walking!

The badger found herself in the Great Hall, which was cool! She could never have enough of the enchanted ceiling and even the tables looked cool. It didn't matter she saw them every single day. There was something special there and Sophie liked it.

Hogwarts was such a nice place!

Ella was hungry...and looking for Sophie. She had a lot to tell her best friend and while she figured she should check the dormitories and common room first, her feet took her towards the great hall. It seemed like her stomach was going to win out over her heart at the moment, though Ella did LOVE food.

Blink.Blink. SERIOUSLY?

The blonde BEAMED as she entered the great hall to find her best friend standing there in front of her. FLAIL. Such awesome luck! Now Ella could take care of her grumbling stomach AND gossip about her life with Sophie! Perfect.

Skipping up to her friend, Ella tapped her on the shoulder and then bounced up and down excitedly. "Sophieee! I was looking for you...kinda." What? She did intend to look for her..."We have much to discuss!" Oh yes, yes they did!

Sophie was still randomly looking around the beautiful Great Hall when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around to face a bouncing Ella!

Ooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It was her I-have-things-to-tell-you face!! Sophie LIKED that face!! "What is iittt???" Ella was hungry, probably. She was usually hungry. Sophie wasn't though. But of course, she wouldn't mind joining her best friend at the Hufflepuff table - or should she say... Ravencalw table?? For some unknown reasoonn??? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm???

Teehee.

The brunette eyed her friend with smart eeyes, almost guessing what she had to tell her. "Come on, spit it ooouuttt!" Sophie beamed. She wanted Ella to TELL HEEEERRRR!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!!

"Well....I'm starved!" BOUNCE. "Butthatcanwait..." Because Ella had far more important things to discuss with her best friend. Things about boys...well A boy in particular, really.

SQUEE!

The blonde's eyes went a bit wide when her friend stared at her as if she was trying to read her mind. Blink.Blink. "Sophhhh! It won't work, y'know." The mind reading stuff. Ella had FAR too much going on up there. "Okay, well I erm...youknowI'mgoingoutwithHarvey..." BLUSH. "And we were hanging out the other day and he um...well I thought he was going to erm...kissme." And Ella took a step back, bracing herself for the flailing that was about to take place.

...In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Fina cracked a smile; of course he would call her Faith. They had this thing with calling each other by their uncommonly used names. "It's fine. I'm sure you'll get used to it." She nodded, as he went on to say he was fine, just early.

She smiled as he went on to tell her that he made the Quidditch team. Of course she heard, but judging from his expression, she wasn't going to tell him that. "Really? That's great! But Quidditch is a rough sport... just, be safe. But I'm sure you'll be fine." She nodded. "Classes going alright? Congrats on getting Hufflepuff, by the way."

Tay walked up and heard Damon singing. She hid behind a corner and lsiten until he finished then she walked by. "Hey, Damon..." Taylor nodded at him.
