She smiled, and nodded, not knowing why she did the latter, though...perhaps his nodding was contagious...like laughter. Except, laughter wasn't the first thing that came to mind when you thought of Dominic.
Man, all the first years will be knowing Dominic by then end of the night. There was not a single one who hasn't been introduced to him. Awesome! He'll be the one they'll go in case of doubt. Ha ha.

Of course" He nodded happily. That Quidditch thing is dragging his emotions from disappointment and sadness to happiness. "Please don't go, Kaika.. Please" He muttered, glancing at her wistfully. He knows that it isn't that impossible, Kaika can work at Hogwarts, maybe an assistant to Professor Vindictus.
Kaika's face held half a smile,
"Glad to hear that" she nodded. Tryouts, yeah, those were coming soon, and since Quidditch Camp took most of her summer, she still has to figure some things out. Perfect.
"Awww, that's sweet Cedric" and she couldn't comment more, because thinking about leaving was out of the question now. She still has a full year for letting it affect her. Jake had totally drained her today.

However, his blaming it on the pumpkin juice seemed to cause a bigger fuss than expected - he truly hadn't thought this through when he had used it as his excuse. "Oh.. no! I'm sure we don't need to tell the Professors anything. It's... probably just me... or..."
"WILLIE!" He practically screamed the boys name when he spoke up about Varius' stealing his juice. Thank Merlin he had made such a mistake (because let us face it, who WOULD want to be drinking from Willie Crockers cup?). "See," he tried to laugh the whole thing off and decrease suspicion from the seventh year, "It's all explained now! Willie was trying to get me loopy on something." He was joking of course and laughed to identify this, but he was now concerned with what problems he may face after slurpring on that Crocker concoction - irregular bowel movements, problems breathing, infinite hiccups! Probably all of the above. Oh Lord!
Right. Right. Willie's cup.
Hmmmm. She still wasn't buying it, but Willie
did mention it was
his cup, soooo....
Kaika narrowed her eyes in suspicion, and nodded afterward. Fine. He wanted her to believe the pumpkin-juice story. She'll believe that. No problem.
But the most horrifying thing that could show up at Hogwarts did...

Her hair was jet black with narrow strips of white betraying her advancing age where her personality did not.
Sophie Melita, former member of the Ministry-approved Hogwarts staff (potions mistress), former professor at Belle's School for Witches, former unspeakable, former preschool teacher, and most recently, former healer at the Center for Aged and Cursed Wizards, was carrying a HUGE basket of cookies that looked as if she would tip over from the weight of it if it hadn't been charmed to be light (though why she hadn't just charmed a smaller basket to have an unending bottom, one can only conjecture that she just like things big). Each cookie was graced with a pair of wings, which explained the flock of cookies fluttering over her head.
She beamed at everyone as the door shut behind her and then she started skipping (with her flock of cookies still encircling her head) down past the Hufflepuffs, tossing cookies toward the table which fluttered onto each plate. Once there, the wings disappeared and a seemingly plain chocolate chip cookie was all that was left. "Welcome to Hogwarts!" Sophie declared in her high pitched, talking to a baby, voice, over and over, as she went.
*insert SCREAM here* WHAT WAS SHE DOING IN HERE?! Kaika's eyes widened, all the memories from Belle's back...
WITH THE COOKIES!! EVIL COOKIES!
They were
DOOMED! Everyone run away from the evil cookie woman!!!
RUN! RUN AWAY!
First, Kaika didn't like cookies, and second, she didn't trust
HER cookies....
Yes, she was frightened. And she, almost immediately, left the table.
