Sammy bounded into the dorms. She always did. EVERY YEAR! She wasn't about to break that tradition. Though this time she was without completely crazed Amy *sad face*. But she bounded anyway. Carrying her bag, her pygmy puff Hayden and her kitty cat trailing along behind her. "Come on Moggy" she called behind her to the cat. "I want to get a good bed" she said, before opening the door to the third year dorms. She looked around quietly and thought

No one here yet

Before bounding onto one of the cushiony beds and jumping on it, throwing Hayden in the air. "TRALALALALA" she sang loudly as Moggy finally came through the door. She ran over to her, picked her up and carried her back to the bed. "I wonder who'll we'll get to share with this year Mogs" she said, squishing the cat and waiting for someone else to come in, she would surprise them.

Hopefully

Sheridan was pooped. Totally, after ANOTHER fight with Justin, she was nursing a slight bruise on her arm. Idiot boy, she rolled her eyes and flopped back on the bed, her blonde hair hiding her blue eyes under it's mop, she rolled over her face on the bed, before looking up...oooh, no one was there yet.

....

Noo she couldn't.

Yes she could..

WEEEE! She squealed, bouncing up and down, her hair bouncing with her, she laughed, jumping around, her head nearing the cealing every time, but not quite hitting it, few. Her kitty fell off the end of her bed, QUEEEEENNNIIIIE! She squealed, falling off herself and picking up her kitty reverently, checking she was ok

Isobel walked up to the dormitory with her kitty, star, padding behind her. Star was light gray with a white belly and white paws. She also had a star on her forehead, which had prompted the name. Isobel walked into the dormitory to find another girl in it. A girl who looked a LOT like her. Creepy.

"Bonjour," Isobel greeted. "My name is Isobel and this is Etoiles, star." She didn't call her Etoiles, that would be kind of creepy. But etoiles was the French word for star, so it worked. Isobel had grown up in France, so she spoke the language all the time. She hadn't actually been born in France, but she grew up there, so it was practically the same thing.

Sammy looked up. DAMN IT! SHE HADN'T MANAGED TO SURPRISE THE GIRL! CURESES! ... Anyway. She looked a lot like her, almost as much as Katie looked like her, but they were sisters, so whatever. THE GIRL SPOKE FRENCH! AWESOMENESS! "pleasure to meet you Isobel, I'm Sammy," she said happily, swinging her legs. "and this is my kitty Moggy" she said pointing to the brown fluffy cat, then pointing to the tiny purple ball of fluff that was rolling around. "and that's Hayden, my pygmy puff" she said, before standing up and walking over to the girl.

"I speak French too," she said, smiling. She had lived with her french aunt for a year, that's how she learnt. Easy really. "are you new? because I don't remember you from the past two years, and I know all the girl puffs in my year" she said with a small nod. Yes, she is awesome like that. "hope you don't mind, but I took the bed over there" she continued pointing at the bed she had claimed. The one that had her cat and bag already spread out all over it. It's tradition. Can't break that tradition either.

Oooo, her cat was fluffly. Awesomeness. "You do? That's cool," Isobel said with a grin. "How did you learn." Isobel nodded. "Yep, I'm new. I was living with my aunt so I could go to Beaubaxtons. Well, I grew up in France. I wasn't born there though...I don't think." She trailed off and changed the subject. "I don't mind," she said. Isobel put her stuff on the bed next to Sammy. "Do you mind if I take this one?" Star jumped up onto the bed, meowed in pleasure, and curled up on the pillow.

Sammy nodded. She knew how awesome being able to speak to languages was. Considering she could. "My aunt. She moved to London with me for my first year. Well, she used to be my aunt" she said. Then her eyes lit up. BOBOBATONS?! SHE WENT TO BEEE-ABATONS?! *mental squeal* "what was it like?" she asked quickly. She loved learning about other schools that taught magic. She didn't pay much attention to the girl when she trailed off about her family. Sammy knew what it was like to find out you had your family all wrong. Dreadful stuff. She grinned "not at all, but I must warn you, Moggy teeds to snore" she said gleefully. *giggle*

Isobel plopped her stuff unceremoniously onto the bed. She could pick it up later, at least it was all in a trunk. She absently petted Star's head as she talkede. "Well, it was...French," she gave her a small smile. "It was big, even bigger than Hogwarts I'd say. And it was fancy looking, all fancy shmacy and stuff. It was like, you were afraid to touch something because it looked all fragile. Of course, only first years thought like that." She grinned; ah memories.

Sammy was near exploding with excitement. HER DORM MATE ... was, well AWESOME! *le squeal* "it's sounds amazing" she said dreamily. "did they have any extra classes, or they all the same as here?" she asked. She wanted to know EVERYTHING. "what about the professors?" she asked, very excited. "THE DORMS! TELL ME ABOUT THE DORMS!" she near fell of the bed she was perched on. But managed to stop herself from falling ... but not her cat. Which let out a rather annoyed meow, before bounding back up onto the bed "Sorry Mog"

Isobel grinned at Sammy; she sure had a lot of questions. But Isobel didn't mind. "They have the same classes as here, except they have an english speaking class for people who don't know how to speak it." She was a little overwhelmed with all the questions; but she went on. It wasn't hard talking, she had been there after all. "When you went in the door there was a huge room, on one end there's a HUGE window. Huge." Like, HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE. Anywho..."In the winter it's very pretty. On the other end there's a fireplace with chairs scattered in front of it." Like here. "Then you go up some stairs to the girls dormitory; it's very colorful up there."

"The walls started out white; but what fun is that? They're rainbowy now, due to many generations of girls splattering paint on them. And each bed is designed to be whatever color you wanted it to be. I had a dorm mate who changed the color every day." No matter how it sounded, it was actually quite pretty.

Emmy flopped down on her bed, gazing at the ceiling.
Her head was so full of stuff, she wasn't even sure what she was thinking about!
All she knew for certain, was that four faces kept swimming in front of her eyes...
Mark Smith, Ling Chang, Patroclus Hudson, and Treyen Lockhart.
Four of her best friends in the world - but one was missing, one loathed her completely, with every fibre of his being, and two... Were probably out of bounds already.

She drew the curtains round her, and let the tears run down her cheeks.

Sammy was basically an information absorbalof right now. She was just absorbing the information. Most of the time stuff goes in one ear and out the other, but no she was ABSORBING this information. I'm not even sure if she had been blinking. Opps. "Woah. That's, just woah." she said when Isobel had finished. "it makes our dorms seem so ... dull" she said dismissively. You could always change your bed sheet covers by magic *le shrug* Although Sammy had never exactly mastered that spell ... Whoopsie.

"But it is cool," Isobel said with a shrug. "I mean, it's different, so it's cool in its own way." Nod. "Now, you tell me what Hogwarts is like." Hogwarts was unique to her as much as Beaubaxtons was awesome to Sammy.

Oh time for Sammy to open her big gob. "Hogwarts is amazing. Everything looks kinda old and stuff, and sometimes stuff REALLY smells, but it's so historical. And almost everyone is really nice." she blabbered. Before adding "there was a rather nasty bunch of Slytherins at the opening feast, that called us Hufflepuffs dudderheads" she said hurtfully. "But some of the other slytherins stood up for us" she added with a nod. She liked the slytherin prefect, she was nice. "The teachers are ... well teachery. BEWARE OF LAFAY! And in Potions, you GOTTA clean your cauldron first or she'll bite your head off" she shuddered. First year and second year she had forgotten to do that ... Whoops. "oh the fantastic thing about our common room, is that it's right next to the kitchen, and the house elves are really nice, they're quite good at comforting actually. And they're always happy to give you food, they're such darlings." she said, happily. She loved those house elves, they made sure there was always pasta at dinner.

Isobel frowned. "That's not very nice," she muttered. But the people who stood up for them were nice, so that earned a smile. Um, okay, Potions sounded scary. She'd be sure to keep Sammy's advice in mind. "I went to the kitchen," Isobel said. "I was trying to make some cupcakes, 'cause KAtie always has awesome ones. The house elves are very nice."

Jaina enters the first years' dormitory. She drops off all of her school books and other school items onto her desk. SHe organizes them into a semi neat pile, so that she can attend to her homework later on. Looking around her desk and nightstand, she grabbed her copy of Much Ado About Nothing, her journal, and her small mp3 player. It had all of her favorite songs on it. She wouldn't listen to it until she was out of the castle and either reading or drawing or whatever it was she was going to do. She jotted down a short note for Annabelle in case she was looking for her.

Belle,
Went for a walk. I'll be back soon and we can start on homework.
Jaina
With that, she left.

Katie? Katie who? Sammy thought. Before asking Isobel exactly what she had been thinking "Katie who?" she had a sister named Katie. MAYBE IT WAS THE SAME ONE! *dramatic music* Her sister knew that many people already. And not to mention a perfect boyfriend *eye roll* "They make really good PASTA" she said happily. PAAASTAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Ronnie stumbled into the girl's dorm. She was tired form lessons...and she was near close to having an episode..she ran from one of the lessons and hid herself in case it started. She couldn't handle that again, she would be so embarassed. She wished she didn't have to wear that stupid medical braclet either! Or give that stupid note to the professors. It was her mom's dumb idea. Her mom always had dumb ideas. She really just wanted to go live her with dad....but then again....

She sighed and walked in...seing a bunch of girls were already there...well that's okay...they looked nice anyway! She smiled "Hey guys, I'm Ronnie!" She offered her hand to the one who was closest to her.

Sammy turned. YAY! MORE THIRDIES! *squeal* She shook the girls hand and smiled. She liked more people in her dorms, last year it was just her and AMy. Now Amy wasn't here ): Anywho. "nice to meet you, I'm Sammy" she said happily. "And this is Isobel" *smile* "are you new aswell?" she asked. Why were there so many new people *eyes*

Figuring she might do a little bit of quiet reading in her dormitory, Mia took one of her books out of her bag and was about to jump onto her bed when she noticed a letter sitting there.

She quickly dropped the book and snatched up the letter thinking that it was from Nikolai. After a quick scan, she realised that it wasn't.

Mia felt a little disappointed that it wasn't from Nik but she was rather intrigued by this invitation. So she pocketed the letter, grabbed her scarf and headed back out of the dorm.

"Nope not new...I've been here since 1st year." She added with a smile, she always found tranfers fasinating, Ronnie was obessed with other magical schools. "Are you all in third year then to?" They looked to be around the same age. It was always nice to met people in the same class

Ronnie crossed the room and sat down on her bed looking at the girls. They looked like they could be alot of fun.

OKay, maybe Sammy didn't know EVERYONE in her house and year, but whatever. She was doing pretty well. She knew three peoiple now, and one had left. right. ANywho. "Me too" she said happily. "I guess I just haven't seen you around" yeah, whoopsie. Then she nodded. "yup, I'm a thirdie, or a thirder, or whatever we're called" she shrugged. Before noticing her purple ball of fluff. She ran over, picked it up, just before it rolled out the door. "this is Hayden by the way, my pygmy puff" she said carrying her baby back to her bed, then pointing at the cat who was curling up on her pillow. "And that's Moggy, she's a pillow hogger" she said, which Moggy responded to with a annoyed meow. *smirk*

"Katie Star," Isobel replied. "She had some awesome cupcakes at the feast, so I decided to make some of my own." Hadn't she already said that? Ah well, it didn't matter. Isobel got distracted anyway, by another girl coming into the room. "Bonjour," she greeted. "My name is Isobel VonHue."

"That's my sister!" Sammy exclaimed before she even knew what she had said. At least it hadn't been rude ... yeah whoops. "not like Katie to bake though, usually that's one of her friends, maybe they've inspired each other" she said, more to herself than anyone.

"Cool," said Isobel with a smile. "You do look a lot alike." She nodded; they did. "Hmm...do you ever bake?" Random question, she seemed to ask a lot of those lately. Oh well, it worked.
