"Then I just doodled a lot. Mostly flowers cause that's all I could find in the backyard. Besides bugs," SHUDDER. "How about you?" he asked. He was actually curious as to how her summer had been. Dad was Senior Undersecretary now...it had to be interesting living with THAT right?
Sierra glanced at Alex out of the corner of her eye. Really, Alex? Seriously? They spend an entire summer vacation away from one another and
that's all he can think to say to her? Whatever. Come to think of it, she didn't have much to say to him either.
..not really.
Well, yeah, maybe.
"Alex," she sternly said,
"...how was it? You know, away from Dad and I? How was it just living with Mother?" That's what she really wanted to know. Who cared that he likely rose two feet off the ground on a toy broom with handlebars? Or, well, that's what she imagined the broom to look like, at least.

QUOTE=dingDong;10310829]The Sorting Hat.
LOLA WAS ALL HAPPY AND TRYING TO KEEP HER COOL--but it was just simply unbelievable. Jittery and hyper. All eyes on her. She clasped her hands, eying above at the wrinkly old hat (which she immediately wanted to befriend because it was just adorable) and she waited. There was no response whatsoever. And then it whispered something in her ears, sentences that made her cringe and her eyes just formed into a blank stare. "Who are you, Lola Jones?" She stopped her hyperness, but repeated the words in her head "HUFFLEPUFF, PLEASE MISTER SORTING HAT, SIR!" He paused.
"Very interesting. I could place you in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff... but ahh--SLYTHERIN!"
"Sl--Slytherin?! SLYTHERIN?! SLITHER-INNNNN?!" She gasped, APPALLED at the words coming out from the hat's mouth. MY MY MY! Wasn't she going to be a Hufflepuff? But her words were not of shock, but out of excitement. EEEEP! SLYTHERIN! The house where people slither everywhere... so in Slytherin pride, the girl slyly slithered to her table, her body moving to the left and to the right as she slither-walked with pride, as if her body was waving all over the place in complete enthusiasm. Hmm did she befriend anyone from the house yet so far?
Well if she hadn't, it was a must to befriend someone. NO WAIT! That Sierra Greingoth girl! One of her bestest friends in the whole wide world (she probably felt the same to her) was in Slytherin! My my my she must have been so proud of her, yes?!
And I believe it was time to play... that one special person.
So, Lola Jones took out a tiny green wig from her robes, placing it on her head, as if it was a royal crown. Because it was. And an evil smirk escaped from her lips.[/QUOTE]
Oh.
My.
Merlin.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Whyyyy? Sierra clenched her eyes shut, hoping that if she didn't even spare the annoying girl a slight glance, Lola wouldn't even recognize her or see her and would just move on--to maybe, another table perhaps?
How had 'Little Miss Sunshine, Happy, Overly-friendly, Annoying
Lola' make it into Slytherin? She better be intellegent--or a good Quidditch player, at least. Who did that sorting hat think the Slytherins were?
Helga Hufflepuff? No, no, no. They were not going to take the
lot of them for no good reason at all.
Yes, Lola Jones. You better be
amazing out there on that pitch.

Well, that certainly confirmed the 'see you in the common room' comment she had gotten earlier on the train ride. Oh this just won't do at all.
"Hey...Bissy." she said loud enough for the girl to hear, staring at her for a moment before her gaze flickered over to the younger Slytherin girl. "Hello Sierra. Nice summer?" Yes? No? She couldn't help but glance to Bissy every other second though. There was no Josh here now at the moment so...
She didn't have to be all that nice did she?
Ohhh, ...finally! Now here was someone Sierra could actually tolerate at all times, no matter what. She smiled at Evelyn--yes, smiled. Evelyn wasn't annoying in the least, was a great points earner for Slytherin house, and was awesome out there on the pitch. Yes,
Evelyn got a smile.
Unlike you, Lola Jones...
"Evelyn," Sierra said, her face brightening considerably.
"How...refreshing to see someone like you around here." For a brief moment her brown eyes flickered over to Lola and then to some annoyingly loud Slytherin who literally hadn't stopped screaming since she'd sat down.
"I...had an interesting summer, we'll just say." She'd just leave her answer at that. Interesting was...a slight understatement.
"How was yours?" Quote:

Summer was awrite. I spent it in Greer Mackensie's pool. That and bombarding her brothers with water bombs. Pure dead brilliant that was!"
Then she was interrupted by the Puff Boy whom Sierra Greingoth called a brother. Lulu stared at him humorlessly, hoping he'd get a clue and push off back to his burrow.
Lulu couldn't glare at Puffer Boy for long because--"WORR!" she exclaimed in shock, amusement, indignation--Lulu couldn't decide what she was feeling yet. "Are you--what the--Sit down before anyone else sees you."
"My kneazle," Sierra answered, turning her attention back to Lulu. She didn't add any details about Hissy Fit. Not yet, at least.
"I'm sure Hissy Fit will take a liking to you, Lulu Patterson." After all, the kneazle only seemed to dislike obnoxious people that her owner seemed to have a problem with. That put Lulu Patterson in a safe zone...
...and Lola Jones, who Lulu had just invited to sit down, in a
danger zone.
"Oh, Lulu! Why? Whyyy?" she wanted to complain, but she didn't, though. She just glanced down in another attempt to keep Lola the Annoying from spotting her.
"Water bombs," she repeated.
"Sounds interesting. I spent the summer in Hawaii, but...they didn't have water bombs there." No, there were other surprises in Hawaii. Surprises Sierra would just keep to herself for now.

...
Okay, this kid
had to want something from her. There was absolutely no other reason for a random stranger to walk up to her and be
that nice. She glanced up at him for a few seconds, assessing him and trying to figure out his intentions.
...and then she heard him greet yet another Slytherin girl in the same way, and then another after that.
This one was up to no good.
I'm keeping an eye on you, Lion Boy! "Can I help you with something, Montcenaggio?" she asked. Maybe, point in the direction to
your own house table?

"Hey Sierra," he greeted the girlwith the warmest smile he could muster with his head so full, offering her friends around a smile and a wave as well. "How was your summer?"
Ahhh, Evan Cartwright--the most
Hufflepuff Slytherin she'd ever met. Evan was alright, though. More than alright. He'd always been good to her and had never been annoying in the least, so what was there to hate?
Not to mention the fact that he was a prefect. Staying on good terms with people with
power was always a good idea in her mind.
"Evan," she answered with a smile.
"My summer was...surprising, yet really good." Again, she'd just leave things at that.
"I'm guessing yours was good, too?" He seemed to be in a good mood, at least. Then again, Evan Cartwright was
always in a good mood.

Biting her lower lip a bit, Kurumi set the cookies down, along with a note saying that they were from her and NOT poisoned - despite that being the popular belief last term - and began to walk along the row of seated students back towards the front of the room.
"Hollingberry," Sierra remarked, taking notice of the Dictionary Eater's presence at the Slytherin house table. Of course the girl came as a package deal--Kurumi + cookies. Sierra's eyes turned slowly to the cookies, and then she glanced back up at the Gryffindor girl once again.
"Welcome back."
...of course that last line was accompanied by an evil grin and a hidden message--
Let the games begin, Dictionary Eater... Quote:

Cutting the chicken in her plate she said: "I will go to the common room after I have finished eating; I should have a good sleep. I'm really tired. Are you a forth grade student, by the way?"
...a fourth year?
Way to earn yourself brownie points in my book, new kid. She gave the girl a small, pleased smile, and then said,
"Second year, actually." She nodded in acknowledgment when the girl mentioned having been to Durmstrang.
"Well, welcome to Hogwarts--and better yet, Slytherin." Noticing that Evelyn had spoken to the girl, as well, Sierra added,
"Friend of yours, Evelyn?"
