Kurumi blushed a little. Hopefully she hadn't offended him with her comment. She was just never sure how much people knew about Hogwarts. After all, she had known nothing upon her arrival at Diagon Alley her first year - and she still wasn't sure how much she really knew.

"The Sorting Hat works in mysterious ways," she nodded. "From what I had read about the houses, I thought for sure I would be put in Ravenclaw. The hat hardly mentioned that house while it was on my head." It was having more of a debate between Slytherin and Gryffindor actually, Ravenclaw had been thrown into the mix enough to be noticed however.

She then noticed his slight frown of disapproval when Selina paid for all three of them. Don't worry about it, Selina would be more offended if you refused her generosity," she explained in a low whisper.

Could they get on brooms now?

Merlin's beard, had she REALLY just thought that?

Jack was sort of just nodding while she talked when she whispered about Selina paying for all of them. "No," he said firmly, holding out his hand to the lady that worked there. I don't care about being on it for longer, I just don't want to, ok? Don't pay for me. Can you give Selina her money back, please?" He asked the lady, his teeth gritted.

He was sixteen. That made much more sense being that he was tall. Then again she was not surprised she did not see that he was sixteen. Everyone was already taller than Selina, even first years, so the fact that he was tall jaded her and to be honest with all of the scars it was hard to tell about his face, "Of course your sixteen... right, sorry."

Selina watched the brief interaction between Jack and Kurumi. She really appreciated that Kurumi was relaying to Jack that she would offend Selina more if he did not allow her to pay, but when he stood his ground on the issue she was taken aback a bit. Did he really just do that? And to a Prefect no less? He had guts, she had to give it to him. Problem was so did Selina and if he was going to play that game she could play it harder.

Looking him up and down deciding whether or not to get into an argument with him she decided against it. She was trying to be nice to a stranger because, well honestly, she was only supposed to go with Kurumi and he played tag team. She had intended on paying for Kurumi before even getting there and when he showed up she felt kind of obligated. But if he said no then no it was.

She crossed her arms and gave him a dark stare, "Fine. I won't pay for you then. I'm not going to beg you to let me be nice." Then she smiled at him to let him know she was not all temper, "I have to give it to you though... you have some fire in you. I think we'll get along just fine."

Then she turned to Kurumi and whined like a three year old, "Noooooowwwwwwwwwwww can we go ride brooms? Please please please please?"

There were a lot of people screaming, mostly girls, due to the fact that the brooms made a lot of crazy moves. It was funny though. Somehow it gave him the feeling to get on his broom and have a ride, but a real ride not like this ones. Now talking about brooms, this year in Hogwarts there was a team for each house, it was irresistible the idea to try for the team but he wasn't sure yet. It would be cool though.

After commenting to a girl on how funny people looked, Nikolas waited for a response. The girl was very, very pretty. He smirked. "I know, people most be overwhelmed by it, maybe they haven't got on a broom before" he chuckled while looking at the rides. He looked back at her when she introduced herself. Feenella? Wow that was a really unique name. "I haven't heard that name before" he said "It is cute" he nodded "I'm Nikolas" nothing special about his name, except for the "K" instead of "Ch" which didn't matter right now.

He sat down beside the blonde girl "So, you going to Hogwarts too?" he asked. Maybe the most asked question in the world right now but he didn't know what else to talk about.

"Thank you." Said Jack courteously, but his voice was a bit harder than usual. For some reason, he was actually quite annoyed, he felt a bit like a... charity basket or something. But he wasn't naturally argumentative, so he just gave a small smile.

Fire? In him? Really? That was a first.

He couldn't help feel a bit chuffed, out of the few people he knew, they would always have described him as pasty and meek though really he was just obedient. Sometimes when the boys from down the road would go in to their stupid café, they'd take a few notes out of the tip jar, and he'd say nothing.

"Yeah." He said, looking expectantly at the lady that worked there. "I think that would be a good idea."

Caroline smiled, she hadn't been here long at all. She had been walking around mostly. She had rode the carousel with a litllte girl named Caroline, who was a shockingly mini me verison of her. "I've been walking about mostly, I did ride the Carousel." She said with a laugh it was one of the most childish things, but it was one of her favorites.

She shook the girls hand, and with smile. "It's nice to meet you, too Vashti." Now she was sure she'd heard her name at school. And she was a Ravenclaw, for some reason she lacked in knowing Ravenclaws. She laughed she could tell that she would get along great with this girl. espeically after the las thing she said about the brooms.

She was so pumped up for this ride from the moment she'd seen it. And the line was moving up again. "Hey it looks like were going to be getting on next." She nudged Vashti on the arm and grinned. This was going to be so much fun.

Tony bounded up to the bumper brooms ride, a caramel apple in his hand. As he took a bite, he watched the people take their anger out on each other rather violently. He wondered if anyone had used this ride for therapy... oh well. Another bite. "Now, why does this ride seem so familiar?" He asked himself, his mouth full of caramel and pieces of apple. He shrugged, and continued to watch as two friends seemed to be gaining up on another friend. He laughed. He wished he was tall enough to ride this thing...

Fee just couldnt help but laugh at some of the girls screaming on their brooms.No offence but where they really dumb enough to get on a broom ride without being on a broom before?That wouldnt be smart at all.The blonde really,really wanted to do fly on a broom again,it gave her a great feeling.

Nooo waaay,that guy was saying exactly what the girl had on her mind.Wow."I was thinking the same thing",she chuckled,"but taking a ride a broom isnt the smartest idea if you arent used to it."Especially if it was adventurous like this ones.Aww her found her name cute?The Slytherin giggled a little and smiled at the boy."Aww thank you",she said,"i guess my mum likes it exotic."So his name was Nikolas,that was pretty nice too."So Nikolas",the girl wiggled her eyebrows,"do you dare taking a ride?"

Smiling at him as he sat down next to her the fourth year nodded."Yeah i am a real Hogwartian",she chuckled,"fourth year,Slytherin.What about you?"Fee wondered which house he was in,she hadnt seen him before.

"Stop that pouting" Willaim told Witsy." I thought I was being very nice when I told you to ride with Tyler" Willaim said to Witsy."We can ride this over and over together later" William explained to Witsy.

BROOMS! The fifteen year old had always wanted to ride one, but unfortunately for her, her father had been a bit overprotective and often refused to let her go anywhere near one, let alone the broom store. But now, that her father wasn't here and she was practically alone, she was free to break the 'rules'.

The girl proceeded toward the line, impatiently waiting at the back. Merlin's beard, could this line move any SLOWER. Grumble. She wobbled a bit on her heels, tempted to point the other way and yell 'LOOK, FREE CANDY' so that the kids would run far far away and she'd finally get her turn. But did she? Of course not.

Sigh. Why did all these little kids have to be around here? It seemed silly, but Noah Oter was not one to pass up a ride that involved any sort of mention of broomstick in the title.

He couldn't wait to feel the wind on his face and running through his hair. It was where he felt most at home, both at Hogwarts and when he played professionally.

Pulling him out of his day dreams was a glint of blonde hair and he watched a young woman wait anxiously for her turn to go on the ride. Noah smirked to himself and fixed his hair into place before speaking up. "You'd think that it'd be easier to get these little tykes out of the way don't you?"

Brooklyn tapped her foot impatiently, as she stared over the heads of the younger kids. Did this thing line ever move? She couldn't take it. She wanted to get on the ride. Pretty please carnival lady move the line, please. Please.

She paused in her foot tapping as she heard a voice behind her. Head whipping around, along with the rest of her body, she stared at him for a moment, before responding. "Yeah, you'd think so. Especially since you have to be at least five feet tall to ride without the presence of an adult."

Brookie's bright blue eyes turned back toward the line, staring at the children, most of which seemed to be without adults which was rather peculiar in her opinion. Especially since a lot of them were under five feet tall.

Noah was a bit taken aback by the girl's eyes. He had seen many before in his life, but these were the most brilliant blue and his voice caught in his throat for a moment or two before he realised that it was his turn to respond.

He gave a snicker and replied, "Well maybe the person running the ride will tell them to shove off and we'll get it all to ourselves, come our turn." That certainly didn't sound like a bad idea. It would give Noah the chance to playfully of course, bump into the girl with his broom though he would avoid hurting more than he would if he was with one of his mates.

The girl turned her attention back to the older man who was behind her in line, curious about him. Sure, her dad had always told her to stay away from older men. But, he was nice. And he didn't seem like he was that much older. Plus, she was at a carnival. Nothing bad ever happened at carnivals.

Brooklyn giggled as he spoke. "Hm. Maybe we should open the ride-running person's eyes and let her know what's going on and that all these kids are wasting time and space. Wouldn't you agree?" GRIN. She shifted her weight to the other foot, trying to see if the line was moving at all. But at this point, she couldn't see enough and wasn't sure if people had gotten off of the ride yet. Which they probably hadn't.

Snap the drop and...reeled her in. Noah smirked that he was able to get a conversation with a nice looking girl. It would pass the time of waiting in line.

"Oh yes, I agree very much." he stated with a firm nod of his head. Too bad that most people were to stupid to see past their own noses. That's what Noah disliked about most people, they didn't observe as much as he did. He also seemed to remember a lot of things, like what a person was wearing last Tuesday. It wasn't so much as important to them, but it still showed how he could be observant.

"How long have you been waiting here for?" he asked the girl. Maybe she should give up and move onto another ride.

Brooklyn dug her heel in the dirt, making a little hole in the ground because well.. she was bored. And what else was there to do? Well.. besides talking to the man.. So, she turned her full attention back on him.

"Well, then.. Go ahead. You're quite welcome to go and speak your mind. I, on the other hand, will stay here." The girl giggled some more, watching the line move slightly because a few kids had gotten of line. YES. She was grateful for any movement whatsoever and the man probably was too. After following the line move, she re-dug a little hole in the ground. Why? It was FUN. Merlin, she wished she had her water balloons. Now that would make things much more fun.

"How long?" he repeated his question as her mind began wandering. "Well, not all that long. Probably ten minutes before you showed up? Something like that." Sadly, that was the worst part about carnivals. There were never signs telling you the wait time. Which was aggravating.

Sarah laughed, this was probably the most fierce she had seen Amethyst, and it greatly amused her, "Let's." she replied, trying to figure out how to maneuver the broom to her liking.

Bumper brooms.

Awesomeee! Like a rip off a bumper cars, naturally. Probably cooler, though, because he was in the wizarding world.

As Paulie watched everyone crashing and bumping around, he heard someone - a young someone, he could tell - ask a question. Without really thinking about it, Paulie answered. "'Cause they're like bumper cars.... only on broomsticks." Yepper. Although.. it probably wasn't that big of an accomplishment to figure that out.

He turned to see that the source of the voice was a younger boy. Looked like a right midget next to Paulie and his gangliness. "You goin' on one?"

Amethyst chuckled and looked around, then said "Lean forward.." She had done it herself and seemed to move forward a little. She giggled as she soon would lean forward, and move left, right, up, or down as she leaned.

"I well...then I'll just look like a jerk if I go on my own." Noah pointed out fixing his hair nonchalantly. This mousse was just not cutting it today. It seemed to dissipated in heat. Hm.

Why was just digging her heel in the ground? She's going to break her shoe soon enough.

"That's not too bad I suppose." he added, following her as the line moved a little bit. "I'm Noah by the way. Noah Oter." he held out his hand for her to shake.

Freya was mesmerized by the bumper brooms. She wondered how it feels to ride one of those but one thing for sure the ride would be awesome.

Then she heard someone called her name, when she turned her gazed towards the voice, she saw Lara running where she's standing. "Lara!" she hugged her friend back. "How are you? Where have you been?" she asked her. "I missed you so much."

Tony jumped when he'd heard someone answer his question. He looked around, but only saw a very tall kid standing next to him. He shrugged, figuring he'd been the one to say it. "Yeah, I was trying to remember what the muggle version was called." He grinned, taking another bite of candy apple. "Nooooooo, not while this is in my system. Plus I just ate ice cream. And popcorn. And chocolate frogs. And some gummi worms..." Tony had just no realized how much he'd eaten, and was glad he'd realized it while off of the bumper brooms. He looked up so he could talk to the kids face. Wow... he sure was tall. "My name's Tony! And yours?" He grinned, taking another bite of his apple. Yuuuuum, so much caramelness!

Bradley brought his hands to his heart in mock surprise, "Why would I have a problem with that?" He asked innocently a smile fighting to form and a twinkle in his eye. He really wasn't the best person at lying but at least he tried. He stared at Emily a moment more before bursting into laughter.

"Really that many times?" He asked once he had stopped laughing finally, he seemed shocked. "I don't know how many times I've cried in the last few years, I don't keep count but still i think I've cried more than that" He added pulling his eyebrows together but he didn't press on the matter. It was her problem not his.

Instead he let himself be pulled towards the brooms once more, a smile back on his face. This was going to be really fun he knew it. Ha, he was going to thrash Emily at this game. He stopped next to her and peeked at the bumper brooms before turning to smile at her, "Ready?"

The girl giggled at his words. "Yeah, but then I wouldn't." More giggles. "I'm only joking. I wouldn't make you go alone. Actually.. i probably wouldn't make you go at all." BEAM! It was easier that way, wasn't it? To not bother the.. carnie. She could probably kick them out if they did. Heh.

The fifteen year old rocked back and forth impatiently as she waited in line, waiting for it to be her turn. This was getting boring. Frown.

She paused, thinking about his words. "Yeah, i guess not. I mean, it could be so much worse. Right?" Yeah. She could have been standing here for hours and probably having kids cut her in line. But she didn't. So she should be content with waiting. "Oh, right." Why hadn't she introduced herself earlier? "It's nice to meet you Noah, I'm Brooklyn Petrov." BEAM! The blond took his hand, shaking it gingerly before releasing it.

Lara hugged her friend tightly then she loosened her grip and broke apart smiling at Freya, "I'm great! How are you?" she asked her "Well I've been at my house!" she answered jokingly "I missed you more" she told Freya. She really missed her friend as they didn't get to meet this summer like they usually do, " So how was your summer?" she asked.

She was so excited and happy that she found Freya while she was just looking for someone to try those brooms with her. Sifting her weigh between her legs excitedly she said pointing at the brooms "You're gonna ride this ,right?" she wondered, although it was clear... why else would Freya had come here.
