Madeline looked around the hall only finding a few familiar face among the sea of new faces. She hung her head allowing her messy curls to fall in her face. She had never once felt so alone as she did now, with out Anderson to tell her she would be okay, she felt so isolated and numb.

Jamie wasn't going to sit around and mop like the others, he was going to have a good time and live his life. Glancing over at his cousin Ashby who seemed more quiet the usually. But he couldn't blame her for feeling depressed and alone, even though she had him.

Ashby looked over at Jamie who seemed more happy then usual. It kind of bothered her for some reason she couldn't understand. Taking a sip of her pumpkin juice, she couldn't help but wish she was back in the states and back at her school. Ashby really wanted to say something to Jamie but she couldn't find anything to say.

Addison couldn't give a care about to the new kids, who were all so depressed and unhappy. She was to happy to be back at school and to be around all of her friends. Glancing over at Teddy who was busy having a conversation with Cody. She looked over at one of the new kids who actually seemed to be happy "Hi !!".

Jamie flipped around at the word 'Hi' to see a happy red head looking back at him. "Hey, I'm Jamie." he smiled.

Addison gave Jamie a huge smile "I'm Addison and it's great to meet you." she said with another big smile.

-----------

Teddy looked over at Addison and the guy she was talking too, before turning back to Cody. "Why do these St. Vertigo's kids have to be here anyways ?" he asked "Aren't there other schools back in the states ?". He was angry with them and the headmistress for letting them in.

Cody wasn't sure why Teddy was so angry but he could understand where he was coming from. "I'm sure there are other schools back in the states." he answered "Maybe the other school couldn't take some many students.".

Delilah sat at the Slytherin table playing with her food. She wasn't hungry and she certainly didn't want to eat in a crowd hall with those people. 'I want to be with my father in Paris' she thought as looked down at the table. This wasn't her school and these weren't her friends and so would never be happy at Hogwarts.

-------------

Noel sat quietly at the Ravenclaw table listening to everyones around her. It felt so strange to be surrounded by complete strangers who didn't even know she existed. She was just happy by the fact that know one had tried to talk to her. Taking a bite of her mash potatoes, she thought back to her friends that were no long with her.

----------

Madeline looked around the hall once more and couldn't help but feel like she was about to cry. Quietly getting up from the table and leaving the hall without being noticed. She really didn't want anyone to watch her cry and she really didn't want anyone to feel sorry for her. Walking outside, Madeline took a deep breath and started walking towards the lake.
