Talk about late sleeper,she never slept as long as this.Emma looked around,at the empty dorm.She frowned."Shhhooottt!"she shouted as she sprung out of bed and ran to her bedroom."Im Late!"she yelled running around.She got dressed within 6.25 minutes and she was running down to the hall,when she came across everyone."Woww.."she said,stopping dead in her tracks.Her chest was rising and falling heavely.She looked at the group."Whats going on?"she asked,panting."Where is everyone..?"she asked,frowning,putting her hands on her waist trying to catch her breath back

Shawn looked up from where he was sitting to see someone else come in. BUt this time he actually did recognize her. He got up and walked over to the girl. "Hey Emma" He said to her with a warm smile. "actually we are all wondering the same thing" he told her. No one had figured out yet why there wasn't anyone around. "We came in for the feast and there was no one here." He told her.

"Yea, let's sit down." He said and found him a place at the nearest table and sat down pulling Nicole with him.

"Hey Bella." Deedee called as Bella entered the Great Hall, "Apparently everyone forgot that today is the first day." She called at her chuckling.

Brent sat quietly while he listened to the others around him talk. He stared firmly around him, trying to keep his gaze away from Kylie, to who he always found himself looking at.

"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm hungry. I think that if everyone doesn't come down here soon, the kitchen might be the only place we're gonna get food." his voice was quiet, and he wasn't sure who might've heard him.

"I've been good." He said with a warms smile, "what about you?" He asked a small smirk playing on his lips and he grinned.

Nicole laughed softly as Hanz pulled Nicole with him, "this really is weird." She said but smiled at Hanz anyway, she couldn't help but be really happy when she was around him.

Keegan was glad there was at least one person here that he knew well other than his sister. Looking at Anya he said, "Not at all," motioning to the deat beside him with his hand. He was unable to keep his smile to himself. "Where do you figure everyone got to?" he asked her, he was begining to feel like he was repeating himself because everyone was asking the same question.


"It's nice to meet you Torin, even if it is in weird cicumstances," he said to the guy he'd just met.





Kylie silently agreed with Brent, she wouldn't mind going to the kitchens, it would give her a chance to explore the castle and see what was going on.

"You know, that wouldn't be such a bad idea, Brent, it would give us a chance to see what is going on here," she said to him, with a mischivious smile. She'd love the chance to explore when the castle was empty.

"Wanna come?" she asked him, grinning at him.

Heh. Hehheh. Did Kylie just invite him to go on a walk with her? YES! He had to control his muscles extra carefully so as to not jump up as soon as she offered. Standing up slowly - casually - he nodded and returned a mischeivious grin. "I'd love to." he answered, offering a hand to help her up...without thinking about what the consiquences might be.

Kylie accepted his hand and pulled herself up off the bench, with his help, doing the best to ignore the strength of his hand, and the warmth. "Do you want to go to the kitchen first?" she asked, after all she was hungry, but she wanted to know what was going on, almost as bad as she wanted to eat.

Brent thought for a moment after helping Kylie up...and then she asked him a question, and he thought about that too. "I'm not sure. I guess since I'm a guy, it's in my nature to be hungry, right? But I kinda want to go explore the castle...since no one's here...or something." his voice got quieter, and he was wondering if she'd think he was weird for wanting to explore.

Patience came rushing into the Hall out of breath clutching a very tiny black cat. The little bugger took off the moment the train came into the station and she had spent the better part of the last 30 minutes trying to find him. The smile and apology she had ready died on her lips at the sight before her. There were only a small group of students gathered in the Hall.

She glanced around and recognized some faces. She took two steps toward the Ravenclaw table and stopped. "What? What going on?" She stammered.


Tristan sauntered into the Hall slightly bemused. His usual smirk of indifferance plastered on his face. After walking into the Entrance Hall he decided to take a quick detour, as the absence of all the students had puzzled him. After a perliminary search he didn't fina anyone, which was odd.

Shrugging, he walked to the Slytherin table and sat down in the table top with his feet resting on the bench. He nodded to his friend Torin and turned to face everyone else. Hunching over with his elbows on his knees, Tristan watched and listened to what his fellow students were saying.

"Hey Patience," Victor greeted as the Ravenclaw came in the Entrance Hall. "No one knows what's going on, we're just here and no one else is." He informed her with a shrug.

Patience slowly walked over and ploped down next to Victor, she didn't even know which table she was at. She looked up at him, the tiny kitten squirming in her arms. "We are the only ones here? Like no teachers or anything?" To confirm her words the staff table was ominously empty. She set down Tank and he immediately took off bounding around the room. "So...what are we gonna do?"

"Really... I have no idea." He said with a sigh, he looked around the empty looking hall. This really didn't make any sense at all, to him anyway.

Torin nodded to Keegan and then his ears perked up at the sound of someone else mentioning the kitchens. He chuckled to himself, thinking someone must have been reading his mind as he was just thinking that himself. He was about to offer to go as well when a girl he didn't know beat him to it. As he carefully watched the interaction between the two, Torin realized there must be something between them and decided not to interrupt. In fact, he noticed as he looked around at the small crowd gathered there, most of the girls seemed to be involved with another guy already there. Well, that would get boring really fast.

Growing slightly impatient at the lack of activity and lack of attention, his eyes swept upward towards the door once more as a pretty girl with a cat entered. Of course she looked just as bemused as the rest of them. He let his eyes linger on her for a moment as she greeted a friend and then his attention was diverted as Tristan walked in.

It was about time. He returned his casual nod and was about to say something smart like 'did some pretty girl hold you up' when he remembered that there was nearly no one there. Instead he settled for, "Hey... where you been?" And then, realizing that the unnamed girl that he had just noticed walked in right before Tristan, he added as he inclined his towards the girl, "Friend of yours?"

Kylie laughed quietly as she listened to Brent. "I'm up for exploring too," she told him quietly. Kylie turned to her brother and asked him, "Keegan, do you want to come too?" she paused for a minute before adding, "does anyone else want to come? We're going to the kitchens first."

She wasn't planning on inviting any one else, but she wasn't sure she could trust herself. She'd go exploring after she made it to the kitchens.


Keegan nodded at his sister and got up from the bench. "Do you want to come too Anya?" he asked her, offering her a hand up. One thing he liked about his sister, is that they were so simliar that they hardly ever fought, so tagging along with her for awhile wouldn't, or shouldn't, bug her.

Anya listened to Brent and Kylie talk about how they were going to go exploring around the school. She was glad when Keegan asked if she wanted to come along too. "Sure, sounds good" She said to him with a smile. She took his hand a stood up.

Anya had always thought of her a Keegan as pretty good friends, it was now that she was starting to wonder what it would be like if they were ever more than that.

Emma looked watched as no-one answered her but Shawn.She smiled alittle as he got up to meet her.Looks like no-one knew what was going on.This was totally weird.Something was totally weird."Oh.."she said,smiling at Shawn and nodded."Well thats weird.."she said,frowning a little."Hey guys.."she said,over Shawn.She looked back at Shawn and smiled.

Kylee rushed into the Great Hall a little flustered and obviously running late. If only her trunk hadn't been stuck in the luggage rack. She quickly sat down at the Gryffindor table, not noticing until that moment that there were only a handful of students in the hall. Thankfully, though, she spotted Joshua. She slid over next to him. Where is everybody? she asked.

Tristan nodded his head as someone got the idea to head down to the kitchens. Best idea he'd heard yet. Scanning everyone present the only person he knew really well was Torin as it seemed they were the only two Slytherin's present. Smirking, he turned and looked at his friend as his voice sounded beside him. "Went to see if the castle rest of the castle was just as empty. Seems those here are the only one's here."

He saw the look Torin gave the girl that had walked in just before him, the one with the cat. He smiled slightly and looked at his friend again. "Ravenclaw. Girl lost her cat, was romping around the dining car. Think her names Patience if memory serves. Why?" He shot Torin a critical look. "You like what you see?" He said it just loud enough for the other slytherin to hear.

Patience looked at Victor and shrugged. She looked around for a second to make sure Tank was still in the Hall and then returned her attention to her friend. "You going to the kitchens as well?" Her stomach grumbled at the thought of food.

Suddenly she felt someone watching her. Looking behind her she saw two slytherin guys and one was looking at her. She smiled and blushed. He was rather good looking, but she couldn't remember ever meeting him. Turning away quickly before she could blush a deeper shade of red she took a deep breath to steady herself. Odd reaction. Her tiny black cat went bounding around the Hall weaving between people feet.

"Yeah I'll go," Victor said smiling at Patience, he then saw her blush and grinned. "Are you coming to?" He asked containing his laughter as he looked at the two slytherins from the corner of his eyes.

Brent grinned triumphantly when Kylie agreed to come...but then she invited more people. His smile faltered, but he quickly stuck in it place. "Where to first?" he asked, looked curiously around the deserted room.

Patience gasped and hit Victor in the arm. She gave him an exasperated look. Leave it to a guy to be that brazen. Feeling utterly embarrased she made a show of locating her precocious kitten. Why did she have to be such a spazz when it comes to guys?

Victor couldn't help but let a small laugh escape his lips, "aww... Sorry Patience." He said and he actually did look sorry, "by the way your kitten is down there." He said pointing a little bt down the hall where Patience's kitten was.

She gave Victor another look and then got up. Patience sauntered down the hall to where Tank was playing under the Hufflepuff table, which coincidently put her closer to the Slytherin table. Keeping her eyes averted for that direction she bent down to look underneath the table. Tank gave a happy meow, and stared at her with wide green eyes. She tried to make a grab for him but he twisted out of her reach and then bounded back within reach. The little bugger thought it was a game.

Sighing, she got down on her hands and knees and made another reach for the kitten. She really hoped no one was watching. Afterall it must look pretty weird. She was on the floor, trying to get under a table to get an obnoxious kitten. Shaking her head Patience made another reach for the blasted kitten.

Victor sat down watching his friend who was coincidentally very close to the Slytherin boys. He thought he would just leave her unless she asked for his help, instead he turned back to Sapphire with a smile.
