Excelsior said, "You guys can use the surfboard as much as you want, but since there are going to be so many of us it might not be a bad idea to have another one. By the time this vacation is over I bet we'll all be able to surf!"

Excelsior turned to Tommy. "That's so amazing. I will definitely meet you here at sunset and we will take that ride." He didn't know whether Barry was still here listening or not, nor did he especially care right now. He was really looking forward to this evening.

She smiled at Excelsior and she made her way back over to the hotel. She walked into the lobby. It was a really nice hotel, she went up to the front desk to check-in.

"Reservation for Riddle." she told the man behind the desk. He tapped a few keys on the internet machine.

"Yes Ms. Riddle we are so pleased to have you staying here. You have the penthouse suite, and your bags have already been taken up." He smiled at her, pointing toward the special elevators that lead up to the penthouses. She didn't understand why her mother got that big huge room and it was just Tomasina staying there.

The room was really nice, and she stood on the balcony after her shower looking out over the ocean. It would be nice to here with Excelsior, but she didn't want to invite him back to her room, when she was staying alone. She went back inside and changed into something a little better for a twilight carpet ride.

Daisy smiled and said, "Hi, my name is Daisy," she said holding out her hand.

Excelsior went back to his hotel room and changed clothes, wanting to look nice for the carpet ride tonight. He was very excited as he put on a pair of nice black pants, then threw on a very nice emerald green shirt with a long black jacket. No doubt it might become a bit chilly, flying up in the air, he supposed it was a bit like flying on a broom that way and he wanted to be prepared.

Tomasina was almost too excited to change her clothes. She wanted to look really nice and extra special for the occasion. She searched through all of her clothes. This dress was too blue, that top was too tight.She finally settled on a silver wrap dress with some green baby doll shoes. She pulled her long black hair into a tight ponytail and secured it with a green serpent hair clip. Her brown skin looked radiant in the silver of the dress. She grabbed a silver shawl to make sure she wouldn't freeze riding that carpet.

She checked herself in the mirror one last time and walked out the door down the Excelsior's room, she knocked on the door and waited for him to answer. She was so nervous.

Excelsior heard the knock on the door and answered it. He found Tommy standing there looking more beautiful than he had ever seen her, wearing a very nice silvery dress, pretty green shoes and her hair was done in a very formal style. "Wow," was all he said, already excited about this ride he was about to take with her. He recovered himself and added, "You look gorgeous tonight. I can't wait to go on this ride with you, something I will remember forever." And what a special person to share it with, he thought.

Teri blinked against the sun and smiled at her brother. She waved at him and then started to make her way towards the water. Teri swam around in the water for while watching Ex with his new girlfriend Tommy. She hadn't met the older girl, but Ex had written about her before he became a fox.

Teri took a few rides on the surfboard before going up on the beach to get warm. Sitting down on her mickey mouse blanket she studied the people around her. It became clear that except for Mon, Ex, Barry and her aunt and uncle she didn't know anyone of the others. New people scared her and also made her shy. Looking up at her mother she said quietly " Mum, could you tell me who everyone is? I don't know half of the people here and that's scary.."

Teri had watched her sister with an unfamilier boy on the beach. At first she had wanted to go over and sit in her sister's lap, but she was scared of interrupting something important. Monica definitley seemed to know the other boy pretty well. When Teri had gotten up the courage to go over to her sister and the other boy they had left to go somewhere else, more private. What confused Teri was that the boy was holding Monica's hand like a boyfreind. Wasn't Mon still in love with Ray?

She stood there and accepted his adoration, it put a bright twinkle in her eyes, and you couldn't pry the smile off her face. She was glad that she had dressed up, he was looking quite smart in his green shirt and slacks, they were matching Slytherins about to take a carpet ride. "You look very handsome yourself," she told him with a wink and a smile. "Shall we?" She asked taking his hand to lead him outside.

Delilah returned with a surfboard, looking around she saw all her friends were preoccupied with something (or someone) else. Seeing Monica's sister she walked over and sat down. "Hi, I'm Delilah Longbottom."

Monica sat down next to Barry and smiled softly. "No Barry, we haven't caught any love virus. It's normal for this to happen." She glanced up at Zachery and Courtanay and had to push down a wave of Jealousy, but she would not act on it. She just smiled at him and waited for Barry to speak.

Ashleigh held her young daughter. "The one with the dark hair that is gold around the edges is Ray, you know him. The Boy with the white-blonde hair is Zachery, He and Monica used to date long ago and are getting back together, and the girl with the platinum Blonde hair is his twin sister Atmor. The boy who looks like your uncle Ron is your cousin Barry and The blonde haired girl talking to Ray is Monica's friend Bianca, your brother is off with his girlfriend Tommy and the two on your brother's surfboard are Delilah and her sister, whon I have not been introduced to yet. But Teri I want you to get out and ttalk to then because these are all friends of monica and excelsior and it will be good for you to know them going into the new term.?

"You mean Mum and Dad? They adopted us, they're unter the red and green umbrella."

Teri sat in her mothers arms and listened and watched whom she pointed out and named. First up was Ray whom she had met several times. Monica's old boyfriend from Hogwarts. Teri still hadn't understood why they had broken up in the first place. Next was Zachery.The name Zachery rang a bell.. He had been the guy that had just left without a word and left her sister heart broken. Shivering a little she pulled up her blanket around her as the names continued with Zachery's twin sister Atmor, Barry, Bianca and the twins Delilah and Daisy?

Hearing her mothers last words she looke up into her mothers eyes saying a little teary eyed "I'm scared about going to Hogwarts. I don't want to get bullied and pranked again. I don't want to be the girl everyone looks down on."Teri paused to look out over the shimmering water for a moment before continuing in a worried tone "Mum what if i talk to Ex and Mon's friends and they don't like me? What if it will be the same at Hogwarts?"

"Alright." Monica walked over with Barry to her Parents. "Mum, Dad, I have someone who wants to say hello!" She indicated Barry.

Ashleigh turned to Teri. "I understand how you feel, but this time Monica will be there with you. She is going to need you since Excelsior will be away. I know they will love you, but Darling you have got to let this shyness go."

ooc: in this RP, Ashleigh is the youngest sister of Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron and Ginny. She was unexpected and much younger than them. And she Married Draco Malfoy's youngest son who is named after him.

Delilah saw Monica's sister and approached her. She smiled at Mon's mom and extended her hand. "Hi, Teri right? I'm Delilah Longbottom."

Teri looked up as Monica approached with Barry at her side. Looking up at her cousin she said "Hi, Barry! Have you tried Ex'ses surfboard in the waves?"Switching her glance to her sister she said "You look good sis. I like the color in your face and skin. It suits you. Are you happy again?" Teri turned to her mother and gave her a confused look asking "What do you mean by Ex not being around? Have i missed something? I thought he was going to be going to Hogwarts with me and Mon." Playing with sand she added silenently "Mum.. That's easier said then done. I don't want to get hurt again..But i will try for your sake." Giving her mother a hug she said "But i don't know who to talk too. Any suggestions?" Teri looked up as a new girl, Delilah whom her mother had pointed out came towards them. Shaking Delilah's hand she stood up saying "Yes, I'm Teri or Teresa which is my whole name.. Its nice to meet you Delilah.. So are you a friend of Mon's?

"Ummm, well the Proper title would be Aunt Ashleigh and Uncle Draco, but we're not that big on Titles, so you can just call us Ashleigh and Draco if you want." Ashleigh smiled.

Turning to Teri she replied. "Excelsior has been offered an opportunity to attend a special wizarding school in America and he is going." She smiled softly.

Emmy woke up from her nap and crawled up in Teri's lap. "Wuv ooh sissy. Hi Bar-Bar!"

"Yea, I'm a friend of Monica's." Lilah said then added. "Its nice to meet you also. How old are you?"
