"i hope he does tryouts soon. i miss the pitch. we can practice a little at home in the orchard behind my house, but there are a lot of muggles around so we have to be careful when we play. i hope that i practiced enough that i can make it on main stream this year. i had hoped last year, but i kind of always knew as a first year it wasn't possible." lilly told him. "i am sure you will make it on main stream this year. you were really good last year." she added.

''WOOOOOOOOOOO!'' Josh roared with laughter at the sight of the poltergeist and cheered ''Cool! That's the best thing i have seen here ever since!'' he shouted out, clapping his hands as hard as he could. This was really what he would call fun and it was great to know that there was someone, it did not matter whether he was a ghost or something, who knows to jazz up around.

"Oh, not to get too close to the lake, especially me i'm such a cluts and i might just fall in. I don't think i want to be faced by a grindylow just yet." she replied taking a sip of pumpkin juice.
Suddenly there was a commotion at the Gryffindor table. Tori gasped in both amazement and fright when she looked up and saw a ghost. It was Peeves. He had just thrown a pie into a girl's face and was pouring gravy on a prefect's head. Tori began laughing so hard she had to on to her seat as she almost toppled over. This was the mischievous poltergeist they were just talking about. He laughed as he created havoc yet it was such entertainment."I wouldn't want to run into him alone." Tori said, laughing. She was laughing so hard that tears began to fill her chocolate brown eyes.

Vivianne's eyes darted from Daisy to two Professors who were at the Gryffindor table to again punish some boys. Not again, she said, hoping those guys weren't in Gryffindor.

Just then, a translucent ghost came out of nowhere, floating in mid air wearing his usual evil grin. PEEVES?!? He's back, but nooohhh... Seemed like he's causing some problem again and even included Chris in his joke of having fun. She closed her eyes so as not to see Chris being soaked with gravy.

That wasn't a good idea of having fun... not at all. Especially Chris was a prefect and so he needs to be respected.

''She likes green ha... I understand what are you talking about... But you know opposite pols pull each other.'' ''Andrew laughed his own joke secretly. And I know it was a joke Josh because we're still 11...''

Andrew saw another familiar person Ruby who he met at the Diagon Alley ''Hey hello Ruby!! How are you? yeah I got my wand, didnt you get yours yet? Did you talk about this with someone who can solve this?

Andrew got shoch with Ellie's sentence... ''WHAT? Dont you eat meat? What a waste... I cant think a world without meat but of course I'm not judgeing you, it's your choise...'' without meat it should be a nightmare...

“I don’t think she saw who was holding the wand. All she said was that there was a flash of green and he was dead.” Daisy paused. “But he was sitting next to the Headmaster…” who had recently been bitten by a werewolf. Daisy eyed the man up at the head table. He looked perfectly dapper, if not a bit more hirsute around the collar then usual.

“I don’t know if the Ministry knows or not.” She said a bit louder because she wasn’t focusing on being quiet and she was still staring at the Headmaster. There was some theory forming in the back of her mind that she was trying to hold on to and pull to the forefront of her mind.
“Ack!” Daisy exclaimed at all the noise. Whatever theory she had was now officially gone thanks to Peeves. “Oh stay down that was please…” she said mostly to Vivianne and the other girls sitting around her at the table. “I really don’t want to pick rice out of my hair for the next week.”

Josh just stared at Andrew for a few seconds and stuffed some more sausages into his mouth without moving his look from his face. ''So you are into reality'' he spoke between chews ''That's not very good but hey...'' he flicked fingers ''I think we can fix it'' he laughed ''I really liked that opposite pole thing, seriously.'' when he swallowed all the sausages he put his hand on his chin like he was thinking hard ''That might be true, mate. You are a genious! But this still does not explain...green'' he laughed again and started to look for more food to eat.

''Accually I know it doesnt explain 'green' but it just explains why you like her... Am I wrong?'' Andrew watched Josh while he was eating sausages and he was sure he was right...

Song stifled a sigh, hating her mother very much at that moment. It had soon come to her attention, seconds after setting foot on the train, that she didn't know anybody. Her mother had told her not to enter Diagon Alley for fear of her daughter turning green (a prophecy she had predicted years ago in hope of proving to everyone she was a Seer). And now, Song felt incredibly lonely. She wasn't a first year, so she couldn't mingle with them. She was a fourth year, stuck in a school far away dead in the middle of her education. If she'd gone into Diagon Alley earlier she could of met some people of her own age. Scowling, she didn't notice a girl running in her direction.

UMPH!!! She stumbled backwards, managing to keep her balance so she didn't fall to the floor. She wasn't surprised; she was used to being treated as if she was invisible. Hastily righting herself, and pushing her long, dark hair out of her face, she looked upon the girl who'd caused the collision. It was the Ravenclaw girl she'd met briefly on the train, and she seemed a little... what was the word? Hyper? Oh great, another nickname, she thought sarcastically to herself, as the girl quickly replaced what she'd said with 'Song'. But, uncannily, she couldn't stay angry at this girl for long. There was something about her that just made Song want to laugh.

She'd ignored the girl's terrible cover-ups and corrections. She couldn't blame her. She thought she'd be in Hufflepuff too. Maybe her brains had helped her be in Gryffindor, but then shouldn't she have been placed in Ravenclaw?

Song let the girl drag her towards the empty seats and sat down beside her, her stomach growling ravenously. She suddenly realised how hungry she was, and grabbed a pumpkin pastie from a platter set in the middle of the table. A question bugged at her mind, so she decided the ask it. "Comic girl?" She raised both eyebrows in amusement. "Where did that one come from?"

Josh halted, his mouth open, showing the things he had been chewing inside. He might be right. He was right. He never tried to investigate his emotions or the reasons for them. No time for that between all those mischief and bad jokes, now it was hard to face...emotions. He could not be described as heartless, though. On the contrary he was pretty emotional but he was just not aware of it. He shoke his head at Andrew ''Well...i'm not sure about that, man. Lets assume it is true, than what about you and the Hufflepuff's puffy girl?''

Ellie giggled some more, although when Josh started talking about Qudditch, she became confused. If it didn't have anything to do with what he was talking about why did he mention it? Never mind. "What position do you play?" Ellie asked eagerly. "I'm good. I'm so excited to be here!" In truth, the excitement she'd felt at first was starting to dwindle now. She didn't know why but she guessed it was because she was tired. "I am so pleased to be in Gryffindor, my family will be most proud," she added.

Ellie smiled and waved at the older boy who welcomed them. "Hi!" she said.

Oh no! "AHHHHHHHHH!" Ellie screamed rather loudly at the arrival of Peeves, even though she was not a victim of his pranks. Perhaps she was scared of him. She watched as he threw a pie at one of her fellow first years and then pouring gravy over the Gryffindor prefect's head. "Oh, Peeves!" she said, taking a quick glance at the staff table. She hoped she would not be in trouble for screaming so loud. "He is so naughty!" she said.

"No, I don't eat meat," Ellie said. "I don't like to eat animals, it's just mean! I have not eaten meat ever!. Mummy's a vegetarian also. But if you want to eat meat, it's fine."

''Sara, oh I think we're different from you... I dont know I just like her as herself... Can we please stop talking about these? Talking ,s nat making it easier...'' yeah it wasnt... ''So are you a pureblood or what?''

''Yeah thanks Ellie and if you dont want to eat meat it's ok too.'' Andrew smiled warmly to her and immediately he remembered his promise to Sara and made his face normal...

Sara got up from her seat at Huffelpuff, crept betwwen the tables, along the back wall and up the side of the Gryffindor table. Finally, she spied Drew talking to another Gryffindor student. They seemed to be pretty deep in discussion. So, as bold as ever, Sara creeped up...tapped Drew on the shoulder and quickly squeezed between the two boys.

"Hey Drew... " Sara said, How are you today? You're looking pretty serious." Sara gave Drew's hand a quick squeeze..

Drew felt something on his shoulder. It was Sara he hold her hand slowly.''Hey Sara I'm pretty good how are you? we were talking with Josh about... something... Let me introduce you, Sara this id Josh and Josh this is Sara...''

"Hey Josh," replied Sara, as she looked at Josh, "nice to meet you.

Then, Sara looked at Drew, and said: " Look... I borrowed a couple of books from a girl at the Huffelpuff table."

Sara slowly lifted 2 books from her lap and laid them on the table: "Quidditch through the Ages and Flying For Dummies - by Sweeper Broomwell. "I am determined to learn how to fly," Sara said. "So, if you're okay with it, you can learn with me?" Sara looked at Drew intently.

"So are you going to try out for the Qudditch team?" Ellie asked, breaking an awkward silence.

"Sara!" Ellie cried with a smile. "You got sorted into Hufflepuff! That's cool!" She saw Sara take Andrew's hand, and so decided to stop talking to her, since she felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe they were more than friends, she thought to herself.

''I can play any position and will be happy with any position'' he nodded ''But might be brighter if i happen to be a seeker or chaser, i'm a fast flier, see?'' She neednt have mentioned how excited she were because it could be read from her face thought she looked somehow like she'd lost little bit of the mood. ''Yeah me too'' he went on cheerfully ''My mom was a Ravenclaw but dad'd be proud if he knew what is Gryffindor'' he started to laugh and turned to Andrew.


''Ah okay, sensitive boy, no problem'' he winked and smirked. This guy seemed much more complicated with the emotions thing. ''An interesting and complex way to change subjects'' Josh laughed again. He started to like this guy, he was not trying to act by hiding what he wanted behind different words, he was telling them right and straight, directly. And this was what Josh would call honest. ''Half'' he replied ''Pureblood witch mother and muggle father. What about you?''

Josh shoke hands with Sara ''Nice to meet you too, badger lady'' he half laughed and his attention was on the books too as he heard the word 'Quidditch' ''Wow, you mean there'r books about sports, Quidditch? Books? Quidditch? Books? Quidditch? That's unbelieveable plus hilarious!'' he took a huge glass of pumpkin juice and drank it all with one breath.

"Ooh," Ellie said. "I'm not a very good flier, but I do love watching Qudditch! I hope you get on the team, Josh, and I hope Gryffindor wins!" She beamed at him. "My Mummy was in Ravenclaw too! She was muggle born, but all of Daddy's family are purebloods and they were all Gryffindors. I thought I might get sorted into Ravenclaw, but I'm glad I got put in Gryffindor. Is you Daddy not a wizard?" That would make him half blood, she thought, like herself.

"Hey Ellie! Nice to see you again." answered Sara. "You're so lucky to be in Gryffindor! I wish I was." Satra looked at Drew. "What's that you were saying about Quidditch? I have to learn everything about it before tryouts!"

"Well, houses sometimes run in families," Ellie said. "So I'm really not surprised I'm a Gryffindor. But Hufflepuff is a fine house!" She could not help overhearing Sara talk about Qudditch. "Are you trying for the Hufflepuff team?" she could not help but ask.

''Oh I'd like to! It would be great learning Quidditch with you...'' Drew hold Sara's hand more tightly and pulled her next to him to sit.


''The same as you witch father and muggle mother... they were a weird couple together.'' Drew smiled at his own thoughts...

"Well," Sara thought, "She may not know much about Quidditch, but she did know she would enjoy learning about it with Drew." Sara looked down and saw the chicken on Drew's plate. "Oh, did I catch you while you were eating?" Sara didn't want Drew to starve on account of her... "Please continue. I'll wait..."

"Yeah," Sara answered Ellie. "I'm muggle born so when it came to houses I was at the sorting hat's mercy. As for Quidditch, I'd like to try out, but I'm completely inexperienced. I don't even know how to get on the broom! Sara smiled.

''Sit next to me I dont want anything else believe me, food or nothing else'' Drew raised his head and looked directly into Sara's eyes to convince her...

''So we have found a common point here. Mine are both weird and funny. Dad finds the idea of magic quite fun, he laughs a lot when mom performs it. Woo i really do admire dad''


''Thanks Ellie, i hope so'' he smiled at her ''You got a ravie mummy, too. They love rules a lot, dont they? My mom definitely does. And she wont be surprised that i'm in Gryffindor. Because i am quite unlike her except the looks. I'm more like my dad and yes he is a muggle with no magic. But his spirit, i think, is what made me a Gryffindor. That'd be a little confusing i know but i believe he'd be a Gryffindor if he were a wizard''

Sara placed her bottom back on the bench beside Drew. She then turned to him and said, in the same tone that her mother used on her... "Eat your dinner!"

Sara wondered what was up with Drew. He wasn't very talkative today. Actually, talking to him was like pulling teeth. Sara decided to try another tactic... "So Drew... what does your father do for the ministry?" He'd have to talk now...wouldn't he?
