I know cause I about drowned in the lake awhile ago when one bit me and dragged my down almost to the bottom when I was swimming in the lake." It was no fun that was for sure. "So you stun the merking? Cool! Do so...they were behind all the flooding right?"she asked, feeling like she hadn't been in the loop of gossip for quite awhile.

She nodded and laughed with him. "Yes you will. Just like my fellow Ravenclaws you'll just have to be a good little boy and do your homework."she teased, looking over at the comic book girl then back at Chris. "Me too. I can't wait till Defense Against the Dark Arts or CoMC. They're the best classes I think....besides flying."



Slow summer? Of coarse, moving around and not doing things with friends could really damper things. "This summer has been great for me. I spent a lot of time with my friends, and such....."she trailed off, feeling color rise to her cheeks. Most of the people she did stuff with though had been Kel....

Jenn giggled. "You sound like a Ravenclaw."she teased, smiling. "Of coarse, that's not a bad thing seeing how I'm a Ravvie. Homework is...strangely fun to do. If you like the subject of coarse." If not....well you had a tough time finishing it, that was for sure.



Jenn couldn't help it, but she burst out laughing. The site of the playful kitten made her...happy for some reason. Like all of the stress that had been weighing down on her had suddenly vanished as she watched the kitten play with the string that was hanging from her freying pant leg.

She looked up as comic girl started talking. Wow...that was a first. So, this ball of energy was, Quinto? "He's really funny actually."she informed the shy girl, smiling sweetly at her, then down at Quinto. "Hello Quinto. Do you want to play?"she asked softly, the smile still on her face. Reaching into her bag she pulled out a sleeping lump of sandy colored fluff. "Wake up Sahara."she whispered, rubbing the little lump. Then, slowly the fluff ball's head poped up, and blinked slowly, opening it's tiny little mouth. It's huge topaz colored eyes eyed the little black kitten in front of it, then looked at Jenn, almost like saying I'm to tired to play.

Shaking her head, she set Sahara down next to Quinto, nudging her lightly with her foot. Then she leaned over and picked up Luna, who meowed in protest and placed her on the ground next to Sahara and Quinto. "Now, go on and play."she instructed, grinning. Sahara blinked, then crouched down, wiggling it's little tail and rump in the air, before springing on top of Quinto. Jenn giggled as she watched the two of them roll around and Luna stare at them with a look of...mild disgust.

Finally, when his words were settling in, a small smile appeared on her lips, growing as the seconds ticked by in silence. She turned to look at Josh. He was staring at the window, not looking like the happiest person in the world like she felt. Standing up, she jumped over and hugged him. "I...totally don't care what they think." she said, stuttering a little, still hugging him. 'Oh my- I'm so getting disowned.'

Nataly watched as Eva talked with the older boy. He knew who attacked the professor in the first place? And who is Forrester? She decided to continue listening before she'll ask her questions. She may hear the answer in the middle.

"Hunt him? I did promise I would claim his head if he got out of line, but your polite society frowns upon killing." Helios had dealt with monsters before, but none of them were humans most of the time. They didn't have friends or loved ones. Was he growing a conscience?

She gave him a leaping hug, to his surprise, and said a simple 'Thank you'.
Jumped down she ran to the train, excited to see Nate again.

The train was huge, in Sammi's eyes. She skipped down the hallways of the train, checking every compartment for Nate. Mr. Fluffypant's was in her arms, hooting slightly at her hyperactive movement.
As she approached the back of the train, she almost missed Nate's compartment.
"NAAATE!" She squealed and lept into his lap. She made sure Mr. Fluffypants was put down before leaping.
"HI HI HI HIIII!!! Ohh I cannot wait to get to Hogwarts! I wonder where the sweets trolly is?! Oh did you know Mr. Willows came with me to the train! He is a cold and mean man on the outside, but I think it just because he has never been loved! He is a nice guy inside! I know it! Maybe I can help him become nice! He even gave me a going away pressie! A giant bag of mouth changing lollipops! He said these would never run out until the end of the school year! He charmed it to be never ending, no matter how many I eat!"
Sammi showed Nate the small bag. She grinned and took a deep breath.
"how are you!? did you miss me?! I missed you! Where is this Mariel lady!"
She dove into the bag and picked out two lollipops. Espresso for her and a blueberry for Nate.

Standing silently for a moment, Helios searched Evas' eyes, trying to discern what was behind her look. Hefting his heavy bag, the prince of suns nodded his head, following closely behind the girl. "Let us walk then. Let us talk." He was intrigued, not just by the talk of werewolves, but by Eva as well. There was more to her then meets the eye.

"No idea about either of them to be honest," Jake shrugged, not realising that Blake seemed a little... freaked out. "I thought Voldemort was, like, dead and stuff... I doubt he's comin' back."

Wow, it seemed Jake was really... quite slow. Quite slow indeed. Shana was there now, but was that really such a big surprise? Arching an eyebrow, Jake gave a little smile. "Yeah, we know each other. She's my official stalker," the boy nodded, noting that Blake was seemingly her accomplice.

Jake would have to keep an eye out for these two. "Wait," he blurted out, suddenly confused. Addressing Shana, he furrowed his brow. "Does this mean you're over me?"

He was used to being a human jungle gym."Hey Sammi." he said to her half yawning. "How about we hold off on the sweet trolley for a a little bit hmm?" he said thinking to himself that she had enough energy for now. She could have her lollipops. That was fiiine."SHHH! She's in the compartment across from us. See that gaggle of girls over there?". He sure hoped that Mariel and the firing squad hadn't heard Sammi.

Hands clasped behind his back, the thoughtful warrior walked with a steady stride. "There has been much to arouse suspicion. But where does the blame lie? Are they bringing the misfortune upon themselves? Or are there more sinister forces at work?" Helios was nearly killed two or three, it was hard to keep count, times last term. And despite what you may think, he didn't like being attacked indirectly.

If this girl had a plan, he wanted in.

Blink.Seriously.Where did he get the idea she was stalking him ? She hadn't even thought about Stalking him let alone acctually stalked him.Shaking her head she sighed."Look Jake.I don't stalk you,Neither have I ever thought about Stalking you,And I'm not entirely sure where you got the idea I was stalking you from but yeah lets just be clear IM NOT!" She said,flailing her arms a bit.Good now that was out of the way.

Wait ? Oh no.The word Wait was never good,Esspecially when it meant you had to wait in the cue for the girls bathroom.Nope,Never good,And now he was doing that weird thing with his eyebrows.Uh-oh.Not good.Trust Jake to ask the worst possible question ever.What was she meant to say ? She couldn't lie and say yes.But then she couldn't tell him she did like him that would just be weird."Uhh." she opened her mouth and nothing came out.Well it was better than nothing.

Raising one eyebrow again at Shana's slight outburst, Jake held back a giggle. Wowwww... she really was keeping alot of things held back... twas the only reason there could possibly be all this pent up rage. "Feel better?" he asked, feeling rather amused.

Really, with the monosyllabic answers? Fighting the urge to roll his eyes, Jake shrugged and directed his attention towards the view from the window. "I don't mind," he announced, focused on working how long it would take to get to certain visible landmarks. "I'm quite happy for you," Jake added, glancing towards Shana and Blake and giving them both a nice smile.

Evan looked after the first year, frowning. She was rude in his eyes, very rude to her age, but what did he knew about rudeness as he was also once called "rude Scouse"? The idea still made him chuckle, and he again chuckled softly at the memory. Thinking about it again, he might want to see Iris and Andy Aaron, but seperately. And he guessed there'd be no way for them to be seperate. He wondered if he and Lyra would be like them, but then decided that they wouldn't.

1. He wasn't a romance freak, just the vice versa: He avoided physical touch as much as possible.

2. There was still the possibility of Lyra not liking him in that way, despite all her blushings and behaviour.

3. He had learnt much from that couple--twelve-year-olds sucked at PDA.

But he thought he might be like them with Fallon, for she seemed calmer, and to his experiences calm people loved PDA and romance much more than in-a-good-way silly people like Lyra.

In any case though, he decided he wouldn't date this year. Because dating wasn't for 12 year-old kids.

'Wow, I made much philosophy!' he thought to himself and chuckled again, turning his gaze to Lyra. She seemed sleepy. But how would they partey if she slept? He had to find a way to wake her up, to make her hyper again. His mind showed him the answer: telling a joke. He was about to reach his pocket again when she got up to a sitting position and talked.

He laughed before answering. "Ooh I can guess," he said, still smiling. "Mine did the same, mom cried and gave me that look like she was sending me to death." He rolled his eyes as his mind skipped the part that he was also about to cry. "A lot of advice and blah blah." Actually he found his parents' advice handy, they talked good, except for the homeschool thing. But eventually, they too had accepted that it was wrong and had apologised. So yeah, he would listen to them. Talking like it was nothing felt as if he was betraying them, but he shrugged the feeling off quickly. As long as he listened and obeyed, there shouldn't be any problem.

He followed Lyra's finger and saw the posters. Oh, that was mean. As long as the werewolves took their potion, they were harmless. But he knew the "accident" in the assymble, and that showed they were still dangerous. To answer Lyra's question, he shrugged. "I think if the professors are strong enough to fight with their... wolfness, and as long as they take the potion, there is no problem."

He then heard a girl calling for him. He ran to the corridor, frowning, trying to recognise the voice. It was very familiar but...

"Iris!" he shouted, but saw that her cutey boyfriend had already helping her up. See, they would never be seperate. Realising that he should say something, "Oh... hi." he said to the guy and gave a smile. It was a very awkward moment for Evan. He just stood there, not knowing what to do.

Blinkg she shook her head.What on earth was he talking about ? He didn't mind ? She hadn't even said anything for him to be bothered about,Had she ? He was happy for her,Now that just totally didn'- Widening her eyes she looked at him blankly.As he smiled at her and Blake...You don't mean.You think I like Blake ?! she blinked.Technically it was possible,cause he was like only a year older than her but yeah she didn't and she didn't think it was possible,Blake was too Blake-ish.

Not like Jake cared or anything. Nope.

"Correct me if I'm wrong but you do appear to be..." Jake trailed off in search of ways to describe the two and a quick show of his hand with the first two fingers crossed appeared to suffice.

Dexter started back in astonishment before leaning forward again. "Wow..." he murmurred before reaching out and poking its shell. The wings fluttered a little and he smiled. "I'm Dexter," he said, smiling widely, at once more ease with the girl. She seemed to emit a very frank and open air. He was usually so anxious that he could barely function, but it was nice to finally relax. "What house are you in?" He asked, staring at the turtle instead of the girl and poking its shell again. "And what's its name? I have a cat named Bront, he's right here." He pointed excitedly towards the plastic box. Bront just growled. "Who's your friend?" He asked, pointing at the boy.

Dexter saw the flier outside and read it over quickly before frowning. "Hmph," he scowled, "that's..." He shrugged before continuing, "My dad knew one once I think. And I'm sure he was fine." He crossed his arms over his chest and slouched a little in his chair.

As Daisy took the parchment and read it over,Sarah had to agree with her comment."It certainly looked like no-one was expecting it to happen,which made me think it was an accident.I mean I can't believe anyone would want to endanger the students and rest of the staff on purpose." Shrugging she settled herself down and began to watch the stream of people walk past their now closed door.One of whom she recognized, and who appeared to have seen them...if his sudden shooting into another compartment was anything to go by.

With a glance over to Mariel, Sarah sat up straighter in her seat so she was able to get a better look across the corridor.She knew somehow that Nathaniel, the boy in question, would want to talk to her friend.Quite possibly with her not around.Although he probably wouldn't notice if she was, he never seemed to before when they met all together.
While she was carefully watching, with furtive glances out the corner of her eye, Sarah saw a younger girl come down the corridor and enter Nate's compartment.A not very quiet girl it would seem because she certainly heard the comment about Mariel.Did her friend hear it though? she wondered to herself as she looked over at her fellow fourth year, who was still eating her lemondrops.

Deciding that she would try and make the effort, and that it might cheer Mariel up a bit more, Sarah stood up and brushed herself down. "Will you two excuse me for a minute? I've just seen someone and wanted to speak to them.Won't be long." With a broad grin she pulled open the sliding door, and walked over to the other compartment.....

Knocking before she entered,Sarah cleared her throat. "Hi Nathaniel,I thought I saw you go past." Yes she was being nice, she wasn't going to be nasty to him just because he had a habit of ignoring her very existance. "Mariel is sharing a compartment with me and Daisy," *slight pause for dramatic effect*......"would you like to join us?"

"Which one is she? is she pretty? is she niiiiiice?" She whispered into Nate's ear.
Sammi hoped Mariel was nice. Maybe she was in the same house and could help if need be. Sammi crawled down from Nate's lap and took the seat across from him with Mr Fluffypants.

Aha.

Shaking her head she blinked."..How do I say this without being offensive to Blake.You are Wrong VERY VERY Wrong." she nodded firmly,Shaking her head one last time.

"I will only join you fine ladies only if my little sister Sammi can come with me." He didn't want to leave Sammi by herself plus maybe if she went with him he'd not get attacked by the firing squad.

"I haven't seen you in ages too! What's with the Chris's and avoiding me? Hmm?"she asked playfully, ruffling his hair as she dangled from his neck. He was so tall compaired to her! "How are things my very tall brother like friend?"she asked, smiling happily. Wow...things today were going fabulous indeed! She had made a new friend, and had a bunch of her other friends in here with her.

She eyed his hair, smiling crookedly. "I say, your hair has gotten curlier. Soon you'll be like a poodle. Remember when we were talking about your hair that one day when I was in my second year? Yes, I say you shall look like a poodle one day."she nodded, winking to let him know she was playing with him. "So, when you get your animagus...if you do, then you better make it some type of curly dog."she giggled.
