"Thanks so much Kurumi!" Cass said happily as she hugged the girl. "By the way, I forgot to ask you? Is Adam in London right now?" She was hoping to invite him as a surprise for Heather. She knew that Heather misses Kurumi and Adam terribly

Which Malfoy?" Rex askwd Hugo. " There a lot of Malfoys around school" Rex laughed." Look, rejected by girls or even friends are part of life and you have to roll with the punchess" Rex explained to Hugo. "Do not listen to me, I have been hurt by two girls and Fee halped me through my sadness" Rex told Hugo.

" You arrw right about the ketchup and mustard colors" Rex told Cass laughing. Rex held up a bottle of catsup and a jar of mustard in front of him
Rex weaved his wand, he has beown dress pants, white shirt, red and white tie and his Gryffindor sweater. " Do you like this look better?" Rex asked Cass. " Nice party" Rex smiled.. "Where is the other hostess". Rex asked Cass about Freya.

"Rex...we're not allowed to use magic outside of school..." Cass reminded him.

Freya saw Fee waving at her so she waved back and made her way towards her besties. "Heya. Fee." she greeted her. "I have to wait my sister to apparated me. I couldn't using the Floo and get my dress dirty." she said. "Thank you, Fee" she smiled. "And you look stunning." she said smiling.

She was going to ask Fee if she knew where Cass was but then she saw Cass was standing near her and Fee. Freya gulped. She hoped that Cass wasn't angry. "I'm sorry. Like I said to Fee earlier I had to wait for my sister to apparate me here." she said. Next time she better had her father than Katherine to apparate her.

Freya noticed a very familiar face talking to Cass. "Hullo Rex." she greeted him. "How was my teasing buddy doing?" she asked.

"Hello. Nice to meet you Hugo. I'm Freya." she said smiling. Of course she knew who he is. He was the boy Cass fancied last term.

Kurumi began to tell Draven that she was a Gryffindor and in her second year.

"Ah, a Gryffindor. Very good. How do you like it so far?"

"No, im not a transfer student but i am a little older than most first years so that explains why i may look a little older" he laughed.

Draven continued to watch as more people piled into the room.

"Edmond of course," he laughed.
"Thanks for your help," he said to Rex. He really appreciated him.

Hugo felt like this conversation was slightly awkward...
Like Cass was somehow somewhat mad at him. But why?
"Mine has been alright too. I've been in Diagon Alley a lot, but I still haven't done any of my school shopping," he laughed to break the tension.

Hugo was glad that Kurumi seemed to like it.
He had planted the idea. Inception...
"So how is Japan? I've never been there."

Alex smiled at Draven and shrugged. "Don't worry about it too much." he said. "Thank you, and I hope you'll get Ravenclaw then if that is what you want."

Alex laughed and then did a little pout. "Good one." he admitted. "Bet its resting its Music Room."
he chuckled. He always tried to spend as much time as he could there. "Bet you missed me though." he wiggled his eyebrows.

Alex saw a girl enter and he immediatly got that she was the third part of the trio. He decided to walk up to her and introduce himself.

"Hi," He said with a warm smile. "Thought I'd come over and introduce myself. I'm Alex." he said extending his hand.

"Helloo my redheaded sistaah!" Alex smiled widely and fough the urge to run over to Elle. "How are you Lil' Redbird? I didn't know you'd be here."

Alex thought he'd mingle and saw a girl he hadn't met before. "Hello." he smiled politely when he had walked up to her. "I don't think we've met, I'm Alex." he said with his hand out for her to shake.

Fee giggled along with her friend.Lively, that meant there had been a lot of action.Hehe. She really hadnt seen Adam in a long time but she was happy that Kurumi and him were as happy as on their first day.


"Dont be sorry",she shook her head,"i had been naive thinking nothing could ever seperate me and him.". Of course she was sad abiut him nopt being here with her and she missed him like crazy but she had cried enough. Actually she had cried too much.Hugging her friend tightly she sighed a little.Why did that have to happen? Why did the world hate her?!"i cant believe his father really did that",she whispered.Stupid malfoy pride.
Fee chuckled as she saw her best friend wiggling his eyebrows.Without even saying anything he knew what she meant and that was something Fee really appreciated."Oh my god all the rumours was true",she laughed,"boys and girls cant be just friends."Oh man it was so fun to lead all thos stupidos to a wrong way.

"Ohhh what was that cocky grin about?",Fee giggled,"that never neans any good."Did he have an evil plan? Checking on her hairdo she sighed relieved as she saw her hbair stil perfect and in place. Phewww.

"Ohhh Alex getting all emotional`?",Fee awed,"but seriously you can be sure nothing will ever come between us."It had been fate that they had met at Katies andnthere was no one to destroy that. Noone should even try.


"I missed you a whole lot",Fee admitted,"but whenever i was around you werent."They had kept missing eachother all the time,not cool.But at ,least they had written owls. A lot. Hehe."Hugo?",Fee asked confused but blushed.Did Rex want to hint something?!Why did Fee feel like she had missed something?!"I dont think he would be fine with glitter in his hair",she laughed,"you are the only glitter boy around."


"Oh that would be great",she nodded,"but i'll come with you if thats okay?!"
Just to make sure he came back. Oh what?!Skipping that thought she smiled at Hugo,"the coolest trio has to be back together."

"Ohhh its amazing Cass",Fee nodded,"you have such a talent."
Real,ly this was probably the prettiest eeeever.Right colours,right amount glitter,right stuff. Just perfect.
"When do i get to meet Brody by the way?",she wiggled her eyebrows smirking.Just because love didnt treat her too good at the moment that didnt mean she wanted to be all uninformed.
"Ohh you apparated here?",Fee asked,"i am staying for the ast few days of vacation."There was so much to do, it made it easier when you stayed here.Less tme waisted by traveling here.And seeing Fee hated apparating it was a big plus too."Aww thank you bestie",she smiled widely,"ready to rock this party?"

"well, you know us older boys" Rex told Cass. "We forget here or there" rex said to Cass. " I promise no more magic out of school" Rex smiled at Cass. "Do you like my new outfit?" Rex asked Cass.

" Hi Freya" Rex told her. " You are the other cute and sweet hostess here besides Cass, right?' Rex asked Freya." Well, no teasing you right now" Rex smiled. " I am doing fine, thanks" Rex smiled again. How are you doing?" rex asked Freya.

" Do not worry about Edmond" Rex told Hugo. " I am of some help, but not much" Rex said to Hugo. " I think if you like a girl, you go after her and do not worry about the conquences" Rex explained to Hugo. " Lots of girls in HogWarts" Rex reminded Hugo.

" Yes, i guess that is true, we just could not find each other" Rex agreed with Fee. Well, of course, I am "glitter boy" Rex told Fee. " I would not mind if Hugo had some glitter for him" Rex said to Fee. " Hugo and I have been really close lately" Rex exxplained to Fee. " Isn't that great?' Rex asked Fee. Hopefully Fee will get the idea.

"Do your friends think it's okay to Leave the party for a couple of minutes?" he asked.
He didn't want to stand people in the way and especially with Cass apperently angry at him.

"Thats soo stupid, i mised you like crazy",Fee told her bestie.Weeks without him were not cool,not fun and stupid."Well you wouldnt but maybe hugo would",she laughed.Even though it would be sweet.Hehe."Oh yeah thats amazing",she nodded,"found another male friend ?"


"Hugo",Fee chuckled shaking her head slightly,"you are my friend too.Why shouldnt they be okay with that? Cant let you go alone."More like she didnt want him to go all by himself."Is there anything you worry about?",she askes smiling warmly.

"I'm worrying about you getting cold in that dress," He laughed and handed her his jacket. Mmyes, He Should be quite the gentlemen on these late summer nights. "Let's go to the owl office," He smiled.

Fee smiled at him as she took his coat.Ahhh she was a sucker for gentlemanly boys. "Thats really sweet",she said,"but arent you going to get cold now?"Sure, it was summer but it got a little chilly in the evenings."I am ready",she smiled back at him. Hopefully no one noticed they wrre gone and worried.

"He is, but his parents are not wanting him to go back to Hogwarts," Kurumi said sadly. "They are trying to keep him away from the wizarding world until the last possible second." Kurumi turned her head toward the ground and softly kicked another balloon. Adam and her parents shared a few things in common, but at least her mother allowed her to go to Diagon Alley and enjoy the wizarding world like everyone else. She just didn't want to take any part in it.


"I love it!" Kurumi bubbled and her eyes twinkled. "Learning I was a witch was one of the best things that ever happened to me and being in Gryffindor with so many amazing people has been a dream come true." She realized that she was probably acting like a ferret who had eaten too much sugar - or was that Katie? - and took a deep breath. "I couldn't have asked for anything more...except for Dragon Lady."


With a new idea planted in her brain, she was really awake in this reality....right?, Kurumi felt a burst of energy for things she could make and leave out in the Gryffindor common room. "Japan is..." judgmental "...alright," Kurumi smiled softly. "Summer is terribly hot and humid. It feels good to be back in London. The breeze is rather nice. Although, I do miss Japanese food every now and again when I am at Hogwarts. Thankfully, Twinkle and all the other house elves are kind enough to help me make some."


Now Kurumi's attention was drawn to Alex. "I'm Kurumi," she said softly bowing her head slightly. Where had she put her cookies...


Kurumi smiled. Fee really was strong, much stronger than Kurumi had thought. Perhaps Fee was used to saying good bye to people. Kurumi had ever had to do that once, in first grade, to her best friend and that was the last person she had ever care about who had left her. Now, Kurumi couldn't image what it would be like to say good bye to someone she cared about so much - like Adam. It had been hard enough saying good bye to Cam and Raiden, but she had really hardly known them. "Parents don't always do what is right for their children," Kurumi said sadly. That truth she knew all too well.

Draven smiled as Kurumi got excited talking about her house and her experiences at Hogwarts. She seemed to be relaxing a bit and letting her hair down a bit with him. But he was curious about the "Dragon Lady" comment she made.

"What is Dragon Lady?" he asked curiously.

"Oh, sorry," Kurumi smiled scratching her head. "Dragon Lady is what I call the potions mistress. She is also the head of Slytherin house and really really scary. Her classes are not too bad, but the homework assigned is always a little, well, I think the word is sketchy. Like, last term she assigned us homework to brew our own puking pestles and then we had to feed them to someone. Full points if we made the person throw up on a certain professor's door." It had been her first assignment at Hogwarts where she had not received full marks on.

Draven's eyes widened when Kurumi explained about the potions mistress at Hogwarts. The Dragon Lady sounded very scary and the schoolwork intimidating.

"Wow, so was it that you couldnt get the homework right or just disagreed with the purpose and philosphy?"

"That particular assignement I just made the things and wasn't planning on using them...but my best friend ended up stuffing 5 of them in his mouth because I made them look too delicious," she blushed. She had learned her lesson about chocolate decorations on things that should not really be eaten the hard way. "She even had us brew a rare potion in class that used phoenix tears. Do you have any idea how rare those are?! Several students refused to brew the potion," she said sadly remembering Raiden who she had really admired. She wished that she had known more about phoenix tears at that time. She would have been right along with him not brewing that potion. They hadn't even tested it! They just poured everything into a vile and handed it to Dragon Lady. She probably sold them or used them for her own benefit.

Draven listened while Kurumi talked about her friend eating the items and the result from it.

"Hahaha, thats so awesome Kurumi!"

She continued to explain how in another assignment they were supposed to use Phoenix Tears and some of the students refused to do it because of that fact. He liked that some students stood by their convictions if they didnt agree with a particular task.

"Wow, im sorry you had to go through that. I hope im not faced with a dilemma like that although im sure i will be".

"So do you get into big trouble for not doing the assignment or does it just go down as a bad grade?"

Draven was really interested in the stories that Kurumi was telling him. He expected some surprises at Hogwarts but nothing like this. But he was happy that she was sharing her experiences with him.

Kurumi shivered a bit as she remembered scary Dragon Lady. It seemed all too soon to be attending one of her classes again, but, alas, it was coming soon. "She just took off a few points for not making Adam, my friend, throw up on the professor's office door," Kurumi grumbled. Still a touchy subject. She hated not getting full marks on homework. "All the other classes are fantastic though. There will be a few new professors this term though." She was still sad to see professor ruffles leaving.

"Yup." Freya said nodding her head. "Oh. You are staying here?Where?In the Leaky Cauldron?" she asked. "That was very effective." she said. "I wished my mother allowed me to stay here as well so it'd be much easier for me than to use the floo network or waiting for my family to apparate me." she said letting out a small sighed. "You're welcome besties." she grinned. "Of course I'm ready. Are you?"

"Cute and sweet?Yeah you could said that." Freya said giggling. "I'm doing great." she said smiling. "So how was your summer?" she asked.

" Do not worry about it, we see each other now" Rex told Fee. " Trust me, Hugo would like it" Rex said to Fee. Yes Hugo is ann amaxing friend" Rex explained to Fee. " I see you and Hugo taking off" Rex whidpered to Fee. Tell hugo good luck from me" Rex laughed.

" I did say cute and sweet plus I meant it" Rex told Freya. " I am happy you are doing great" Rex said to Freya. " I had an interesting summer" Rex replied to Freya.

Fee returned the smile a little.It was still hard for her but she gave her best.Edmond would always be in her heart but she has already cried over him. Too much. They could have wrote owls at least but no, that was it."I know",she nodded,"especially not when your name is Malfoy."From the day she had received Edmond's last later she hated that name.It had destroyed everything."But anyways",Fee said," i am soooo excited for second term. I cant believe i am really turning 13 this year."



"Oh i planned on staying at Hugo's brother's aparment",Fee smiled,"he offered."It was so much easier to stay here then to travel all the time aaaand apparating wasnt fun."Yeah i knoow floo poweder is getting you all dirty.",she nodded,"and all the make up and dress up you had done was useless."That was why Fee never used the floo network if she didnt have to."Oh i am always rady for a good party",she wiggled her eyebrows.Of course she was,hehe.


"Yeeeess and thats really good",she nodded,"cant stand the feeling of missing you."It was one of the most uncool feelings ever. Without Rex and their bestie time she just didnt feel whole."Me and Hugo taking off?",she raised an eyebrow,"we are just friends,Rex."What was he seeing what Fee wasnt seeing?!

"Thank Rex. You're too sweet." Freya let out a small laughed. "I'm glad you had an interesting summer." she said smiling. "Are you ready for your last year at Hogwarts?" she asked.


"Hugo brother's apartment?" Freya raised her eyebrows. "Did something happen between you and Hugo I should know?" she asked smirking. "I know right? I always had this sick feeling in my stomach every time I side-along apparated." she said. And floo powder not a very good idea to travel too especially when you are going to a party.

"Hey, its alright. At least you're finally here." Cass said with a smile as she finally hugged Freya

Cass sighed. She should be a good hostess. So, she smiled up at Hugo and said "Oh, you should get right to that then. I mean, term would be starting soon again..."

Cass rolled her eyes playfully and mumbled softly "Yes, I missed my annoying cousin."

Cass shrugged. She didn't know when she would see that boy again. And frankly, she was getting tired.

"Oh, I dunno. Maybe he's not gonna show up...ever." She said with a straight face

"Thanks" Cass said with grateful smile. She really didn't anyone to get into any trouble. Then she nodded approvingly at his new set of clothes and smiled "Much better"
