Lacey walked into the girls dormitory and found no one in there. She really could careless, anyway. She found her stuff and started unpacking. When she got to the botom she found a note, it read: "Dear Lacey~ I love and wish I could be there with you. It's to bad you go to school in England and I in the US. With all love, Alex." Lacey's heart skipped beat. She wish he could be with her too. She grabbed her phone and texted him, saying: "I wish u were here 2. Love ~ Lacey." She set her phone down and finished putting her stuff away, she truly missed her family.

Selena walked into the dormitory, her kitten Arielle meowing and purring in her hands. After finding her stuff, she immediately pulled out her phoenix quill, ink bottle and notebook. Picking a seat by the window, she opened the gift her friends have given her only to be amazed: It was adorned with glitter, stars and even pictures of them together. She wondered idly how Rose had even managed to persuade Manami and Theron to let her take those. Genius, that girl was.

Lizzie entered the room with a big smile. Finally she was home again! With a friendly nod at the girl slightly older than her, and the firstie, who were the only ones in there, she walked over to her usual bed and put the bag that she always carried with her down beside it. With a happy sigh she laid down on the soft pillows and closed her eyes for a second, remembering the first time she'd come here. It had been three years ago, and the eager little group of firsties girls had arrived all at once. She giggled quietly to herself as she remembered how Kairi, Shay, Cha and Dem had said all at once "I'm gonna have the bed next to Lizzie's!" She turned her head slightly to the side to let her eyes rest on Kairi's old bed next to hers. Would she ever get over her best friend...?

Sitting up again she reached for her bag by the bedside and opened it, taking out all of her photos and placing them back on the nightstand where they belonged. There was the photo of her parents and John, one of Maddie (the photo was four years old now, but still), one of herself, Kairi, Dem, Shay and Cha as firsties with proud smiles all holding their arms around each others shoulders, and then one of herself and Chris hugging. The last photo, the drawing that Kairi had turned into a photo, she put in the drawer of the nightstand. Roxas wasn't ever coming back, so she might as well put away the photo of them. With one more sigh Lizzie laid back on her bed again, closing her eyes for a moment (it was rather late!) and waited for her best friends to get there. They were probably still eating, she thought with a smile.

Dem walked into her favorite room in the whole castle. "Lizzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she squealed! She threw her bags onto her usual bed and ran over to attack her friend in a hug. "We're finally here!" she said, jumping up and down. Dem let go of her death grip on Lizzie and went to go unpack some of her things. She put her clothes in her trunk, put her bag of candy in a drawer of her nightstand and placed a picture from her birthday party on the nightstand next to a red lamp. "What shall we do first lovey?" she asked Lizzie.

Hayden skipped into the common room and smiled as she saw two of her friends."Hey Lizzie! Hey Dem!" She plopped on her bed and laughed at the joy she felt of being home.

Lizzie's eyes opened quickly as she was surprised by Dem's hug. Dem!! she said happily, hugging her friend, and then sat up watching the girl unpack. It's great being back, huh? I've missed this place over summer. It feels more like home than my real home she grinned. I say we bring some chocolate frogs and candy outside and find a sunny spot and just chat. she said as she grabbed the old blanket she'd used several times before for picnics by the lake, eyeing Dem happily. How does that sound to you?

At that second Hayden entered the room, and Lizzie gave her a friendly smile saying You want to join too Hayden?

Hayden smiled."That sounds like the perfect thing to do on the first day back." She went to her trunk and pulled out a tin of cupcakes and all her chocolate frogs."Mind if I bring some cupcakes? My mom sent me with a whole tin of them and they need to be eaten soon."

"Hey Hayden." Dem smiled. "How was your summer?"

"That sounds ahmazing lovey!" she opened up the drawer that had her candy and pulled it out. "Fully stocked." she held up the bag and giggled as she tried to keep candy from falling out. "Come on, Hayden. I've got plenty of candy to go around."

Hayden walked over with the tins of cupcakes and the candy she had and smiled. "My summer was great. How was yours?"

Lizzie giggled at them both. This is great. Unfortunatelly I don't have any of my mum's cookies with me this year she said sadly. But I do have the blanket and some pumpkin juice... she smiled. Where should be go then?

Dem's eyes widened when she saw Hayden with a tin of cupcakes. "Mmmm....." she smiled. "Uhm, we should go to the lake. If it's ok with you guys." before she realized it she was already eating a pumpkin pastie.

Hayden smiled."My thoughts exactly. The lake."

"The lake it is then." Dem grabbed her candy and began walking out the door.

ooc: I'll go post at the lake

Hayden followed gabbing her wand of heer bed and smiled happily walking out the door.

ooc: meet you there

Lizzie smiled. Sure, the lake is fine with me.. As long as you don't want to have the picnic in here instead she laughed amused, watching Dem who had already began to eat. With a giggle she joined the girls though the door.

heyyy Guys! Shaylee said walking into the dorm putting her stuff down on her bed. How have you been? She said hugging all of her friends. It was good to be back into the girls dorm, she was so excited to be back in Hogwarts.

Hayden smiled and hugged her back."Hey Shay. I've been good. How have you been?"

"Finally back" Alana said to her snowy owl Godric as she climbed the stairs to the girls dormitory. She couldnt wait to be in her own bed again. Godric on her shoulder, she walked up to the door and pushed. "Hey everyone" she said as she made her way to the window she loved by her old bed. She opened it up to let Godric fly out. "I'll see you in just a little bit." She said said as he nibbled on her hand. She held her arm out and he flew out to the owlery. "Hey Lacey" She said smiling and winking while making her way to to her trunk. "Have you seen Chalice around? I havent seen her yet."

Lilly walks in looking around nervously. seeing the girls catching up she decides to start unpacking after finding her stuff. slowly she puts it all in it's respective places. after being done she wonders what to do next. she wants to say hi to the other girls but she is to scared so she pulls out a book in hopes that one of them will notice her and say hello. they don't so she slowly drifts off to bed dreaming of this new place and all the oppurtunities

"Hey, Shay!" she gave her friend a hug. Another girl walked into the room. She looked like a firstie. I remember being a firstie. she thought to herself. "Hello there." she says to the first year. "I'm Demetria."

"sorry were you talking to me?" lilly asked a little confuzed

"Hey, Lana. No i haven't seen her, then again I don't really talk to her." Lacey answered. She played with the ring on her finger and continued unpacking again. "So, you said earlier you wanted to go to Hawaii one day, would you like to come back with me for awhile during winter break?" Lacey asked, knowing her family didn't care if a friend came home with her or not.

Noticing a girl, that was extreamly nervous, Lacey decided to say hello to her. "Hi, my name's Lacey, what's yours?"

"Yup." she smiled at her. "What's your name?"

Once Lizzie got back to the dorm, she glanced around and smiled at Dem and Hayden. Hey you guys beat me here! she said with a giggle, before attacking Shay with a big hug. Shaaay she said happily, grinning.

Looking around the room she saw some of the second years who had started last year, some that she recognised but hardly knew. There were also some firsties. Hey everyone she said in the lack of knowing anyone's name. I'm Lizzie, nice to meet you all. Turning to the firsties in particular, she added You can always come ask me if there's anything you wonder.. She gave them a friendly smile and sat down on her bed.
