Bum.Bum.Bee.Bump.

Reese wandered into the Great Hall,all by herself.Yeah,she could have waited up for Whitney and stuff,but-yeah.She just didn't want to.That's all.Without saying a word,Reese headed over to the Slytherin table.She found herself a seat and sat down.She looked around the Great Hall to see if she caught a glimpse of Anna or Cale.Nope.She turned back around and stared at her table.When was everyone going to get here?

Amanda couldn't believe that it was the end of term already, soon she'd be saying goodbye to all her friends, then she'd be off on her tour with Lima which was going to be crazy. Ah well, when she returned in September, she was going to be a 4th year. That seemed so crazy to her, it seemed as though it was yesterday when she first walked into the Entrance Hall of this school. She took a seat at the Slytherin table for the last time this term, waiting for her friends to show up.

Lucy sat down. She touched the table. It would be her last time eating her this term. She sighed and noticed another girl. She recognized her and glared.

Amanda noticed another Slytherin glaring at her and she kept her hands on the table. "What's your problem?" She said in a bit of a cold tone. Gabben was so going to get it next term, there was no way she would let him get away with that nonsense. No one makes a fool out of Amanda Lesalle, no one.

Freya walked in slowly, though she wanted nothing more than to just run out of the room. Stupid castle. Stupid students. And stupid childhood for being over! Why couldn't it hang around a bit longer when it was actually needed? And just when things were looking up too....

She sat down hard in a vacant seat, there were many, but Freya decided to sit on her own and sulk for a while on her own time. 'Just be glad you had the chance...just be glad....' Freya poured herself a little something to drink, tried to take a sip, but for some reason couldn't get it down her throat.

Penelope entered the hall and headed for the Slytherin table. She looked for Freya and found her eventually, sitting by herself as usual. She walked over and sat down next to her.
'Hey, well, I guess this is almost it' she said.

"Pretty much, yep." Freya continued as she catapulted a fork across the length of the table after hitting it with a closed fist. "Two years wasn't enough...now I'm old and don't have anything to look forward to aside from working." She rested a hand on her chin, misery sure loved company.
"When you get to the house, well, maybe I'll escort you, but if you don't, just be sure to let them all know who you are first. If you're with me, there won't be any problems." Freya was certainly acting like 'this is it', even though there was still a train ride...possibly.

Penelope listened to Freya's instructions. She was a little nervous about meeting the other people at the house.
'I hope they like me' she said apprehensively.


ooc- I'm off, tea time, be on later

Freya sighed a bit, "Of course they'll like you, you're practically one of them." She took a real sip of her drink this time, and managed to get it all down. "And if they don't, then they can get up and leave, 'cause it will be too bad for them."
She looked across the Great Hall to see if anyone else she knew or even cared to see had shown up yet, it didn't look like there was at the time, though Freya did give a wave to Lucy, who was several spots away at the table.

Kevin wandered into the great hall and sat down the end of his first year when he returned in september he would be a second year and he was already planning to help his house out in the points loads

Penelope let out a small sigh. She smiled a bit. She knew she would fit in, but it would still be hard. She swallowed, her throat felt like someone had sandpapered it. She reached out for a goblet and took a few quick gulps. She turned back to Freya.
'So, looking forward to the train ride?' she asked.

'Train ride?' "Oh, no." Freya said as she looked towards the staff table. "I'm not really looking forward to that at all I'm afraid. Mostly because unless there is some miracle, it will likely be my last ride on it." She took another drink of water from her goblet, then, feeling like her body needed something sweet, poured herself some juice.
"At least I'll have Noor with me on the train...I hope. I thought that knarls were only supposed to be around the size of a hedgehog, but I guess Noor has some sort of growth problem, probably due to an issue with the pituitary." Freya took another quick drink. "She's about the size of a large housecat now, I can't wait until I see Silas' reaction to her, he's sure to get a face full of quills. Serves him right though, sticking his nose where it doesn't belong." 'The brat.' Her pale eyes wandered across the Great Hall again, and Freya couldn't help but wonder whether or not she'd get to say goodbye to a few others before the term ended and they were all forced to leave...out into the big, wonderous and dangerous world.

Spotting something, Freya bolted off as quick as a flash and could be seen tackling another student. About two minutes later she came back over to Penelope. "You should come over to the Gryffindor table with me...come on." She picked up her bag, then grabbed hold of Penelope's sleeve and made to drag her over to the other table.

Lucy entered the Great Hall. She sighed. End of Term Feast...worst time at Hogwarts every year for everyone, including her. She walked over to her house table and sat down. She poured herself some pumpkin juice. But just as she was about to take a sip she put the goblet down. She didn't feel like drinking anything.

Herminny saw Lucy come into the Great Hall and she was sure sne knew who she wanted to spend her final moments at Higwatrs before summer break. Thus she walked over to where Lucy was sitting at the Slytherin table and said, "Hey Lucy, can I join you".

Lucy stood up as Herminny walked over. Exactly the person she wanted to be with right now, other than a certain boy. As soon as Herminny was a foot away from her, Lucy pulled her into a hug. She let go and smiled. "You are truly my best friend." She said.

Brandon walked into the Hall and sat at his house table. He remembered the start of term feast, which only seemed like yesterday. He was going to miss the castle when he was back at home, unable to explore and go on adventures.

Penelope listened. Suddenly Freya jumped up. Penelope looked around then felt Freya's hand on her sleeve. She let her arm be tugged away to the Gryffindor table.

"Awe, thats so sweet of you to say and I feel the same way, hey do you live near Diiagon Alley cause I do and I was wondering if you might wanna hang out with me there some time over the summer."

Lucy smiled and sat down, gesturing Herminny to the seat next to her. "Yeah I do. I live in cottage near by the Leaky Cauldron. But I dont spend much time at home. I normally hang out at Diagon Alley. I'd love to hang out sometime." She grabbed a piece of chicken and some chips, placing them on her plate. She picked up her untouched goblet of pumpkin juice and took a sip.

"Oh, that would be fantastic, I have not even begun to explore that place and I wanna see it all but most of all I wanna spend more time with you,I'll owl you and you can owl me (PM) ", Herminny said smiling cause it now felt like she wasn't leaving anything substantial behind anymore knowing that she and Lucy could hang out over the summer.

"So you've never been to Diagon Alley? Or you just didn't get a chance to explore? Lucy asked cutting her chicken and putting a piece in her mouth. "I'd be happy to show you around." she said taking a sip of more juice.

"I've seen Diagon Alley, but only briefly to get my school supplies, you see I am half muggle and I have lived with my muggle mother all my life till I got my letter to go to Hogwarts and she knew and I knew since I was 7 that I was a witch so it was not a shock but growing up in the muggle world I never found out about Diagon Alley till I was 10 and I had to get my supplies so my momrher gave me some muggle money and I entered Diagon Alley and exchanged the muggle money for wizard money and got all my supplies for school and a new family pet my snowy owl Paulina, but I did not have much time to explore the place cause I only found out it existed about a week before I was to board the train for Hogwarts", Herminny said looking at Lucy.

"Well you've found a tour guide. We can visit Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour and Gambol and Japes Wizarding Joke Shop, but I prefer Weasleys' Wizarding Wheezes, it's so much better." Lucy said smiling. She loved joke shops. She loved playing pranks on others. "It will be so exciting!"

"That sounds great, I saw Weasleys Wizard Wheezes and really wanted to take a look in there, it looked like such an intresting place, but I had no time with all the other things I had to do in diagon alley that day, it's a shame what happened to the twin bother of the owner, though he did die a noble death, I have read about it in quite a few history books in the library here".
