Elder Quad Dusty was still skeptical about his sister's reaction to his question, but he let it slide. Yes, this one time he let something slide with her. He knew she was going through a rough time with graduating and all, but he knew she'd be all right in no time.
Turning his attention back on Ben, the fifteen year old smiled wickedly. "I dunno. Nothing other than the norm...whatever that may be," he chuckled, winking. Finally he spotted the boy. Vee had pointed him out to him before and he was grateful for that. Vee on the other hand immediately regretted it. "There he is. Shall we kind sir?" He nudged Benny and began to make his way through the crowds of people to where the Hufflepuff stood. Valencia gave her brother a meaningful look and nodded. She then felt a small tugging on her and looked down. She chuckled lightly and bent down so she was eye level with her niece. "Oh Lainie I'll be fine. You made it all better," she said sweetly, giving her a kiss on the forehead before standing up once more. "Go have fun with Obie. I know he's dying to run around." And was he ever. "Oh hey Sammy. Just finally realizing how old I am and that I'll never be back at Hogwarts again. Other than that, I'm peachy keen," she said with a nod. She had to forget about everything for a while and just focus on what was happening now. She was going to have fun with her friends and family over the summer and that was that. "How are you doing?" Jae chuckled and nodded at Legend. "Ya know it Ledge," he winked, holding up the rugby ball that was nestled into the left side of his body. He could not wait to play rugby. Maybe this other kid would play as well, the kid who was introducing himself to Danny. "Was it Mat?" he asked, hoping he heard his name right. "I'm Jae," he greeted with a smile, not using his full name for obvious reasons. Finally, another boy to join Danny, Legend, and himself. If nothing else they could have a two on two rugby game later. Whatever be the case, he was excited. "Oi let's go!" James yelled, waving over the other kids to try and help Legend out. He had been looking forward to this summer for the longest time. Finally this was a time he could spend without the hassle of his little brother and sister. He did love them very much, but he needed to be with his friends every once in a while. Abandoning his bag at Vee's feet, the eight year old ran back to Danny and smiled. This was going to be fun. Vee chuckled lightly and grabbed Jae's bag to move it out of the way of foot traffic. That boy was always on the go. Smiling brightly when she heard the familiar voice of Alexis, she called out, "Lex!" and waved. Okay, this summer was going to be great. She just needed to tell herself that and she'd be fine. If only Cisco was with her...No! Don't think about that now! "Hey Lex!" Dusty called with a wink. She was going to be his partner in crime when he transfered to Hogwarts for the next school year. They were going to make a great team and that was what Vee and Savs were scared about. Little did they know what he really had in mind. It wasn't that bad. Slinking out of the bus after everyone finally piled off of it, Nikita sprinted behind her mummy and curled up around one of her legs. She sniffed the air and immediately caught the scent of one of her friends: Tiger. Meowing lightly, to let her mother know she was leaving, the black cat disappeared into the crowd in search of the other feline.
