She quickly noticed how pessimistic she was sounding, so she covered by adding, "Just kidding! Except for the whole shy bit. I'm not exactly sure how to approach someone. But I'm sure I could if I tried, it's just my book is so good!" That sentence started out rather slow, then sped up to the point she inhaled deeply after she was done. She gave Nika a sheepish grin.
Really!?! They look down upon Firsties... Well Nika sure didn't know that last term. Or else she probably wouldn't have gone up to all of those older kids. Heh. Oops.
"Well then I will teach you how to not be shy!" Nika said excitedly.
"Well actually there isn't really much to teach, but you need to be able to go out of your comfort zone." She nodded her head slowly.
"It's really not that hard meeting new people by going up to them." Well maybe it's only because Nika did it all the time. Hehe no shame.

"Actually, I like the Treehouse and the Whomping Willow" William explained to Nika." What do you like best here?' William asked Nika. " Twirling yoru hair makes me go crazy" William smiled.
Nika giggled at his little best thing. Then she heard the words Tree and House but mushed together in one.
"OH! I think it's new and it's really really awesome!" She said excitedly.
"Hmm but I think other than my house and all of the awesome people like you in it, I like the lake the best." Ah, the lake.

"But singing is really easy compared to instruments." Too true. You can sing no matter what, but only someone real talented can play an instrument.
"I didn't get really into singing until about 7 though. Then last term I started experimenting with song writing." Quote:

Very exciting
.
"Divination!" She responded immediately. It didn't take any thought.
"I'm also looking forward to Care of Magical Creatures especially now that we have a new professor." The other classes she could really care less about at this point.
"So what about you?" Quote:

Wisteria, too, loved chocolate frogs. They were actually her favorite as well. Smiling with a giggle to company it, "Yes please!" She was still fiddling with the wrapper before she heard Nika's disappointment of the card she got. "I get Godric a lot too... Oh look I have Morgan Lafay." She turned the card around around to show her, "Want it? I have one of her already..."
After finishing the frog, she wished she could have another but it wasn't the best thing in the world for her, she almost felt sad when Nika said no to quidditch. "You know, I like that you're willing. There are always people around around," she warned her; not trying to hide anything, "I barely find it empty at all, so if you are overwhelmed we don't need to stay. I just thought it would be something different and maybe you'll find a talent you thought you didn't have." She gave her a slight push on the shoulder.
Nika shook her head as a response to Witsey's offer.
"No thanks. I know I was just complaining about getting
'Ol Godric again, but I want to try and get another card on my own." She was determined.
"And besides it gives me an excuse to have more chocolate frogs." She said as she wiggled her eyebrows. Hehe. Smart Nika.
"But Morgan Lafay is she related to Professor Lafay?" *Raise Eyebrows*.
"Yeah I want to learn! A few of my friends had offered to help me but didn't get the chance yet." She replied with a giggle.
"Who knows maybe one day I'll be able to try out for the Quidditch team and actually have a chance, like you!" Who knows... anythings possible right?

That's my philosophy.' the girl explained.
'I don't think Lafay is that bad, actually.' Ari said, looking around, fearing someone would punch her for that statement. 'I heard so many stories about her from older students before coming to Hogwarts, which kind of terrified me, but in reality she's decent if you don't mess with her.' Ari added.
'I'm a bit scared of Flying too, but I haven't started yet. Who knows, maybe I've inherited my mum's talent. She was Ravenclaw Quidditch captain during her time at Hogwarts.' the firstie said. 'I find Runes fascinating, although I must admit they don't have any practical application nowadays.' she pondered.
'I must disagree with you, History of Magic is not boring!' Ariadne said, defensively. 'It's the best, I think finding out about the past is extremely interesting!' Plus, history was her favourite subject. 'Charms and Transfiguration aren't easy, that's true. But I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon.' Ari smiled.
Nika giggled as the little firstie complimented her attitude.
"Buuut if your happy it's contagious! Then bad things won't happen and if you do then you have to keep your head up and say that you could care less because you're happy and nothing can get in the way." Hehe. Nika's little motivational speech.
"Well my philosophy is 'Don't Worry, Be HAPPY'!" She even sang it.
Nika rubbed her ears and raised an eyebrow. Little-Firstie-Gryffindor-Ari say WHAAH?
"I don't think I heard you correctly." She said in all seriousness.
"Did you just say that Lafay, isn't bad?" That's like saying that monkeys can fly. Lafay, not bad? She greeted the class with a 'Shut Those Traps". Rex really liked Lafay as well, but Nika couldn't even understand his love for her. Nika had given her a chance, but then she met Lafay and it all went down from there.
"So are you going to try out for Quidditch then?" Hmm maybe her mother's Quidditch skills did pass on to Ari.
"I think you should try! It's worth a shot right? Because you can't score if you don't shoot." There's another philosophy. Oh two in one day!
"Runes just really confuses me." Nika admitted.
History of Magic not boring?
"Well that's just my opinion on the subject, but if it's you really like it then it's great for you!" Nika replied cheerfully.
"It is interesting it's just that it's a lot of information for me." she said rather lamely.
