Mum gave me money to get a new broom as a late birthday present. I got a Firebolt 600."

"Well, I'll be sure to call you Sely then" Kyle smiled, "and I don't mind the little titles of Ginger" she smiled happily. "My cheek hurts...I haven't been able to stop smiling almost all day you know the whole idea of being able to be at school with friends is just amazing" she smiled happily blushing as she said this. Not because of being near someone she might possibly like. Not at all. Just hearing herself say the statement out loud made her feel embarrassed.
Maybe? She thought well that wasn't a definitive answer but she didn't mind. Yawning slightly she continued to smile a little less enthusiastically. "Well - I think we came to that conclusion when she didn't attack you on the train...she pranced haughtily around for a while in the carriage it was rather funny" yes and even hissed at some first years who was now a Ravenclaw - he'd tried to pull at the poor thing's whiskers.
When Simon answered telling her his summer was good should couldn't help but smile good summers were the best really - still deep down there was a gnawing feeling in the pit of her stomach. She did hope that the little conversation she had hinted to with Caroline didn't go - well...noticed? Yeah that was it, she didn't want him to realize what that conversation was about.
Can you say awkward? Taking a deep breath and changing her mental tact she made to respond...witty, something witty. Nothing came to her mind.
"Well I'm glad you had a good summer" she smiled. Then the other idea that had originally made her want to run over to the Gryffindor table - because of their brevity that is was to ask a certain sly little question. A question that could tempt even the most perilous of minds - or scare friends who knew her to be as clumsy and ill lucked as she normally was.
"Oh gosh I almost forgot!" She squeaked happily - well it was louder than a squeak but not as obnoxious and annoying as a squawk - it was more an oddly adorable sound. Then as she realized how loud she had been she blushed, pulling her tone back severely.
"the boat you know the one in the middle of the Black Lake" she explained her eyes twinkling excitedly. Boy did she want to know what it was about, how it had gotten there - what treasures were on it. "anyone want to investigate it with me?" She asked, batting her extremely long eye lashes as she spoke. The sly flirt move she didn't even realize she was even doing.
Selina tried to keep her mouth shut from her amazement at how amazing it was to have a girl to talk Quidditch with. Caroline and her were going to get on quite well, she could tell. She just hoped, if she made the team, that the two would not let competition get the better of them. "I have a firebolt too! I grew up on a firebolt. They are my Dad's favorite brand, he likes how sturdy they are on the hilt. Makes sharp turns easier."
Turning to Kyle she said, "I'm in. You know how I am with adventure. And id we get in a bit of trouble on the way I can always say that I was forced by the two older students in the group... Simon... Kyle," Selina joked, "No seriously though, I'm in. I have a craving for getting to know what is going on in the Ministry. Borr creeps me out."

He bet it was, he'd always had rotten luck, and although he was sure this had nothing to do with being lucky, he was equal sure that things probably wouldn't work out. But he couldn't help be excited. A home! Other than Hogwarts, that is, but it was still a home where he'd be welcome, maybe even loved! It sounded so wonderful! His heart was racing. "Hopefully things won't come to that, but that broomshed sounds so wonderful. Thank you." He could have his own room, too! Wow, he'd never had that before. He'd always shared one with his sister, a curtain made up of a sheet tacked to the walls and ceiling the only thing dividing their areas for privacy.
Christopher felt the conversation close, and things were beginning to feel almost awkard. He looked around for another conversation to start up, but got nothing. He glanced around seeing eating... friends.... couples..... Couples? A smirk slid onto the Gryffindor's face and he asked, "So Selina, how're things going with boys? Stealing hearts on the Quidditch field?" He teased the girl like a sibling, now that they probably would be close to that.
Selina blushed under Chris' question and stole Simon a quick glance. He was, as usual, flirting with Kyle. She looked down in her lap and reminded herself that she was twelve and he was seventeen, "No, no boys. Just Quidditch. You know I have to keep a close eye on my practice. Once I conquer the field than I will work on boys... until then... nothing."
She smirked and asked, "What about you....?"
