Blaze wasn’t ready to give up just yet. She followed James, meowing up at him again. She was determined to get back at him for staring. She was too absorbed in trying to get revenge, she didn’t notice his sad attempt to be civil. She gave another loud meow as she weaved between his feet. All she needed was for him to bend down so she could reach his face.

Crystal looked at the cat at James' feet, Blaze. She shook her head at her and gave her the 'what do you think you're doing' look when she turned to her. She knew her way to well, she wasn't going to give up until she had done what she wanted and this could not be good.

"Hogwarts is usually fun, if you know what to do at least. There are thousands of secret passages if you ever want to go look for short-cuts to classes or something." Albus said then fell silent. James was talking about dad. Dad was awesome, no doubt denying it, but Albus never really talked about him. James did enough talking for the both of them.

Crystal smiled at Albus, she hadn't asked the headmaster what classes they would be taking. maybe he said something and she wasn't listening, Penny or someone probably heard but that was her she didn't listen. She realised how deep in thought she was, she had dissappeared again. She chuckled lightly and reappeared "sorry, it happens sometimes"

Penny couldn't to laugh once she saw Reese was already near the boy again, she wanted to see how that worked out. She was clearly focused on something else and didn't notice there was someone else around them, until Joe commented on it. Penny said nothing, she didn't even hear the boy's name. What a way to start here.

Drema had been quiet all this time, she smiled at the boy who had introduced himself as Scorpius. "Hi. My name's Drema Steele." She said. She tucked a strand of her black hair behind an ear.

Liz heard Crystal introduce her to the boy that walked up,"Hi,"she said.

"Wow,"Lizzie said. She was intrigued that there were secret passages in the school.

Joe gaves Drema a soft elbow to the side. "My my if you haven't been quiet." She chuckled softly as her hands plugged back into her pockets to get her deck of cards. "So Drema..." Her hands shuffled the deck of cards as she looked at Scorpious- who she didn't know the name of yet- and back at Drema. Her hand pulled a card out of the deck and looked at it. Her smile crawled upon her face. "... should I show the boy what's written in the near future."

Reese had a new idea, but it wouldn’t work in their current situation. Mentally filing the plan away, she trotted over to where Joe and Drema were talking to a boy she didn’t recognize. As she reached Joe’s side, she transformed back into a human, standing with her arms crossed. “Yes, you should.” She had just caught Joe’s question. The only reason she agreed was because her friend looked a little evil. She looked over at the boy. “Name’s Blaze. What are you?” Yes, she had meant ‘what’. She was rather annoyed by the whole wizarding community at the moment.

"Now Reesey don't be so mean." She laughed as she kept the drawn card in between her fingers and shuffled the deck of cards. She pulled out another card and chuckled to herself. "These people are our friends." Far from it really. She hadn't found anything so great about this school. It was just another place she didn't belong. But she had a good feeling about this boy.

Reese chuckled. “Mean? That wasn’t mean.” She smirked a little, looking at the card Joe had pulled. “Nope, still no idea.” She did give the other girl an incredulous look as she said these people were their friends. “You wish.” She whispered, looking at the card again. No, she still didn’t know what it meant.

Joe shuffled the card back into the deck. "You wish?" She repeated her friends word. Joe gave her a what-is-that-suppose-to-mean look and chuckled to herself. Her fingers shuffled the deck of playing cards. "Don't look at my cards." She said jokingly. In all honesty she didn't care much if Reese looked at the cards. It isn't as though she would know what they meant.

Her fingers quickly grasped a card as she spun to the side. With a flick of the wrist a card went past Blaze's ear and hit a tree near by her. It was all done it one swift moment and the card sat- stuck in the tree's bark. "I missed." She pouted to herself. To the others it wouldn't look as though she would have missed- she did hit the tree.

Blaze shrugged. “Hey, it was the best I could come up with at the moment.” She chuckled softly as Joe shuffled the deck again, but her expression turned to one close to terror as a card flew past her head. Joe had hit her with one of those when she had been learning how to do it and it HURT. “Be. Careful. With. Those.” She said slowly, turning to pull the card from the tree. It took a fair amount of force to get it out, and it disturbed her a bit. When she turned back, she held the card between two fingers, the face showing in Joe’s direction. “So, what does it mean for my future?”

"Oh c'mon- I've only hit you once." Joe took the card back from Blaze. "It's not as though you had to get stitches or anything- I am far better than what I was when I was twelve." At least I got it a bit into the tree she thought as she shuffled the deck again. "You want me to do a quick reading?" Her fingers moved back and forth as the deck was being shuffled. "Hold your hands out- flat and together, and palms up."

Reese frowned. “It was still a pretty nasty cut.” She idly rubbed her side, remembering that day. Rather disturbing, it was. She blinked as Joe offered a reading. “I was joking, but whatever.” She held her hands out as instructed, wondering how many times she had gone through this process. She’d known Joe for a few years now, and this had become a regular occurrence between the members of group. “Wouldn’t want you to get rusty after all.” She smirked a bit, waiting for Joe to continue.

"Haha me get rusty?" Joe laughed as she dealed out three cards. "I am amazed that you haven't learned how to do it yet." Cards were dealed. Four of diamonds, King of clubs, and six of clubs. "Well the four of diamonds reveleaved that you've had a Home established in your past. Where the King is your present. He's a spiritual later in life, or an Entrepreneur. The six... says that these things are going to make your problem a successful outcome. So nothing to really worry about now is there?"

“I am too.” Reese muttered, watching her deal the cards. “I think you’re correct, nothing to worry about.” She pushed the cards into a stack before handing them back. “So, who is this kid?” She whispered, almost silently, to Joe. She was wondering about that kid, he didn’t exactly look trustworthy.

Joe shrugged as she shuffled the deck and put it back into her pocket. "No idea" She whispered back. "He's kind of cute if you ask me though." she said quietly and giggled slightly and then glanced over to him and chuckled softly out loud once again. As she did so she sat down onto the grass. Why stand when you could sit? She was wearing pants to it was all good.

Albus looked out at the lake, wondering what the giant squid was doing. He played with a piece of grass and then lay back down and closed his eyes.

Lizzie looked out to the lake and watched the light dance across it. She absentmindedly snapped her fingers and a flame flickered to life above them. She smiled and started messing with the size of it.

Joe sat on the grass. It felt nice. Actually this was most likely the nicest grass she had ever sat on. Her eyes looked around the grounds. She looked at Reese who stood there- and the boy she still didn't know the name of. Her eyes looked over by the lake and saw another Hogwarts boy- who seemed to have his focus on the lake. Liz too sat near the lake- playing with her fire.

Joe breathed in deep and took her deck out of her pocket once again and started to shuffle it. She took one and twirled it in her fingers.

Crystal looked over at Liz and smiled, "bring them closer, I'm cold" she was basically shaking while she looked at the lake, "I should have kept my hoodie with me" she rubbed her hands to together and sighed.

"As much as I would love to say that's your own problem, sure,"Lizzie said. She scooted closer to Crystal and made the fire a little bigger.

"you would never say that to me Lizzie" she grinned at her and sat near the fire, "you love me too much to" she smiled again when she made it bigger, "are you home sick?" she asked out of no where.

"A little,"Liz admitted. She wanted more than anything to actually be anywhere but here. "Why did I decide to let you call me Lizzie, you use it too much,"she complained, but still smiled, Crystal was the first friend she had.
