Here was go again with the best friend thingy. Sigh. "Well, maybe you can spend a bit more time with me," Reese suggested. "We can go down to the lake and have a picnic or, better yet, we can go to Madame Puddifoot's." That was a romantic place, right? Right.

"Like what?" She asked, still battering her eyelashes. Hehe.

Madame Puddifoots? "Er, I dunno about that. Brody might get the wrong idea about us if we do that." And it was sorta what people that were dating did. Or at least it was the way she was talking about it. And Brody already was upset about Reese trying to kiss him. Well at least she wasn't trying to this time.

"Do you have something in your eyes? You keep batting them at me."

Heather shut her eyes. She hated not knowing anyone. How do you go five years and find no friends. She shook her head, then scanned the hall. It was so loud which was not helping her heache. She just wanted to sleep.
Heather yawned, then laid her head down on the table.
"Goodnight," she muttered, before nodding off.

Tavelon walked over to the Hufflepuff table, a little glum. He was sure the people in Hufflepuff were great, but it just seemed rather... boring. The other houses were exciting. But the hat probably knew his personality best, so he tried to make the most of it.

His worries were quickly cleared away when the golden platters miraculously filled up with all of the most wonderful kinds of food. Helping himself, he glanced around to see if there were any other first years.

*PhoenixRising* · 09-15-2009, 01:56 AM

Everyone seemed to be talking and rekindling their summers around him. Feeling his eyes wander for a moment up to the sorting table, he smiled at the sight of seeing/hearing new Hufflepuffs. And there was Miranda, hugging their captain, just as hyper as ever.

Eyes watering, Jake glanced around in search of the owner of the familiar voice. "Hey Dom... wazzat?" he asked suddenly, pointing at the neeeeew badge on Dominic's chest.

And then there was a sudden exclamation of PAIN. One that Dominic didn't like the sound of unless it dealt with tortured Hufflepuffs because of being overworked on class assignments or on the quidditch pitch. Because whether they knew it or not, they were going to work harder than ever this term.

"Um. You okay, Jake?" He said automatically, his eyes blinking in surprise still over the watery eyes. And then the third year was pointing at his chest. His new badge. His reminder that he had duties, a reputation, to uphold.

"Um. This?" Dom asked innocently enough, puffing out his chest in only the slightest. "I'm the new Head Boy!"

Until...

She knew that voice, and a much widened smile appeared on her face. "Dominic!" she exclaimed, she haven't seen him since...er, last term? "How was your summer? Did you spend some time with Willow?" she asked, the first question...entirely expected...the second one...not so much, but made out of simple curiosity.

Her eyes went from his face to...wait...why is he not wearing his Prefect badge? Was he...demoted? That's weird. Oh, no....waaaaaaaiiiiiit....that's Clifford's badge! Why is Dominic Denton wearing Clifford Carden's badge?! Oh, no! That's right! Clifford...left. And now...Dominic was taking his place. Kaika couldn't help to narrow her eyes at the silly badge, he'll have more control over things NOW!

"Oh, congratulations" she said, frowning. Yes, the word and the expression on her face didn't match at ALL, neither did her tone, because this meant...he was leaving...and she was leaving...and Jake was staying...and so was Miranda...

This was not great.

What?! Oh, that's right, because Willie was in his same year and all. "I don't like that...maybe Professor Shackleton can do something about that" she didn't like the idea, and Jake was staying with...Willie...and Kaika wouldn't be around. Yes, she didn't like that.

"If you're ever in need of help...call Dominic" she suggested, because...well, can girls get into the boys dormitory? She wasn't sure. "Or yell for me...or whatever" yes, of course, she'll be more than willing to help Jake out of Willie's hands...or mouth.

She froze.

That question.

Dominic's badge brought that same subject up in her mind, but she didn't want to face it right now.

She smiled, a bit sad, but didn't answer.

Dominic was taken back slightly at the enthusiasm on Kaika's face when she recognized him. Her sincere pleasure at seeing him was almost enough to make him forget that this was their last welcoming feast. But not enough to forget Willow's last words to him at the Leaky Cauldon, telling him to have a nice life. Especially with her question about Willow and him spending time together. "My summer was ... okay. Nothing too exciting. As for Willow," Dominic closed his eyes for a moment before opening them. "Can we talk about this later?" It was actually more of a plea almost.

And then the topic changed quickly, which he was thankful of. Minus the fact that though she congratulated him, there wasn't a single note of shear happiness on her face. Though she too knew also what the consequences of being Head Boy entailed. "Thanks... are you ... okay?" Because she wasn't. He knew that from one look at her. He was leaving ... and she was leaving ... and Tammy was leaving ...

And what was that? In need of help to call Dominic? Call Dominic for what? Frowning from her to Jake, he nodded. "Yea sure... If you need something Jake, let me know." And hopefully it will be something he could solve.

She was in for a long game of "Hurry up and Wait"!!!

After all, how do you meet new people unless you just throw yourself in there. Hoping secretly they would accept her, she put on her best smile and said, "Hello fellow Huffies, I'm Luminous and delighted to meet you"
Then she sat and waited for the fun to begin.

Oh. New Hufflepuffs. Turning from the depression of his graduating, Dominic put on a fake cheeriness as they sat down at their new table. "Hello and welcome to Hufflepuff!" He called to the two new first years. "Dominic Denton, Seventh year, One of your House Prefects and also Head Boy." He informed them.

"I'm good thanks!" she said sitting next to Kaika, "Summer was great, my family took a trip to Sweden, it was pretty cool!"

Miranda sensed a bit of hesitation in Kaika when she said 'fine'. Maybe her summer had been busy?
"That is great to hear, Kaika! How was your summer? Did you get to fly alot?" Quidditch, ah one of the best things in the woooooooooorld.

Congratulations? Why was she congratulating Dominic? Had he and Willow gotten married? Miranda snorted at the thought.

And then.
The badge. Miranda had followed her captains gaze. There it was, the Head Boy badge. Her jaw dropped. Dominic had more power now!?
"Oooooooooohhh, Dominic, congratulations!" she smiled. She was sure that he had matured over the summer. He did look taller too!

Ah then, Miranda was congratulating him. She must have heard the depressed congratulations from Kaika, who'd she instantly tackle hugged when she saw.

"Thanks Miranda!" He returned her smile. What year was she now? She definitely looked older, but sniff, unlike him or Kaika, she would be returning to Hogwarts after this year was up. Yup, all these thoughts were causing Dominic to have a very quiet start of term, which wasn't that unusual since he'd never really been very talkative... but still.

Amber sat down at the table and looked around at her peers, the people she would come to know in the next seven years. A smile came to her face as she looked upon her surroundings. She had waited so long to come here and now it was finally happening.

But, she couldn't help but feel a bit of homesickness. Because of that a slight frown came to her face. What if she made no friends? Or what if her family forgot about her?

She tried not to think negatively as she grabbed a dinner roll and started to nibble.

Tavelon noticed a girl approximately his age sit down alone. "Hi" he said across the table. "Are you a first year? I thought I saw you get sorted..."

Sasha bounced into the Great Hall excited to start her first year at Hogwarts. she watched the ceiling move with intrest and awe. She loved magic and couldn't wait to learn.
She glanced around the tables and spotted the Hufflepuff one. She walked over with a birhgt smile one saying hello to every one she passed. She found a girl sitting at the table alone eating some bread. She smiled, excited to meet new people.
She walks over to the table and sits next to the quiet girl. She smiles with a peace sign and says "Hello I'm Sasha Foxfire first year. What's your name?"
She was excited to meet someone new, hoping she wouldn't be alone all year.

Emalyn entered the great hall and searched for a good seat at the Hufflepuff table. She fought the urge to scream with excitement for the new term as she took a seat and started filling up a plate of food. Ooooh she was hungry, yes she was. It struck her then, as it did every term, that she was in another year. Fourth year. How did that even HAPPEN? She could remember the day she sat down at this table and had been greeted by the nicest girl she would ever meet. Sadly Savannah had graduated at the end of Ema's second year. Now she was almost the same age Savannah had been when Ema had met her.

She poured herself some pumpkin juice and hummed under her breath. Oooh it was so good to be back...

LadyNerd · 09-15-2009, 02:42 AM

Fiona walked over to the Hufflepuff table. She and Miles had a great time in Diagon Alley and everything seemed fairly quiet on the train. Odd. There were a few people she wanted to speak too, namely the nice fella from DA she met. He seemed rather cool and...well... Frankly no one would be as cool as Miles but...that was Miles.

She sat at the table and noticed that Hufflepuff contain one of the Head Students, a Dominic Denton that shedidnt know personally but knew of him, same with the rest of the older students around. It was time to come out of her shell and face the world of Hogwarts.

She conviently took her seat at the table and waited for the food to appear. She was starving and there was no need to hide her love of food from anyone.

Amber took another dinner roll, looking around to make sure no one saw her take extra food and accuse her of being greedy. Amber jumped slightly as she looked up hearing someone address her.

"Oh hello," She started as she placed the roll on her plate. "I'm Amber Sky, first year. It's nice to meet you." Amber smiled as she greeted Sasha.

Mrs. Weasley · 09-15-2009, 03:03 AM

Abby makes her way into the great hall for her last opening banquet. She happy to be back at Hogwarts, but sad that this is her last term. Abby looks up at the head table and smiles at the professors. It's great to see Professors Lupa and Morgan sitting with Professor Lawson. He's looks a lot happier than I last saw him. I hope that means all the business with last term's special assembly is over with. Abby starts to fix herself a plate when she sees a new student fixing one too. "The house elves do a fantastic job on their breads and rolls not to mention their deserts. I could eat their chocolate cake until I bust."

He looked...strange. The air of superiority was not as noticeable as it used to. Something must have happened. Clearly. He couldn't be as sad as she was for leaving, he'd only been here...what?...three years...instead, Kaika's education relied on the six years she's been coming to Hogwarts, well, five if one counts Belle's.

"Hmmm...nice to know you had a good summer" though, it didn't seem much like it, and the Willow thing....Uh-Oh....perhaps (obviously) she made a mistake by bringing her up? Now she was even more curious, though, really, he didn't have to comment or say anything to her. "Yeah, don't worry...Anytime you feel like talking works fine with me" she said, with a sweet smile.

This start of term was not even similar to the past one.

Did he have to ask? Really? "I..." she eyed Jake, and then Miranda before turning to look at Dominic again, "...am okay" she finished the not-too-long sentence, he must know it was all related to this being the last year, he must have known. "I'm honestly happy about your...promotion" except that she wasn't exactly happy, because she was sure once Dominic became Dominic, then he'll be utterly annoying, because giving him more power was just that, annoying.

And...awwww, how sweet. Jake can totally count on Dominic if he's stuck in a problem with Willie. But he should totally come to Kaika first.

Nicholas Flamel · 09-15-2009, 03:55 AM

Tavelon sighed as he scooped some mashed potatoes and gravy. All of the friends he had made were sorted into different houses. He twirled his fork around the platter. He had hoped that the opening feast would be more of an exciting occasion. Not that he wasn't excited, just... disappointed? He wasn't sure... but the answer seemed to lie in the shepard's pie, which was especially tasty.

*PhoenixRising* · 09-15-2009, 04:14 AM

Dominic glanced around the table as more new Hufflepuffs situated themselves and were introducing/conversing among each other. He would miss that, he decided before looking back towards Kaika.

Nodding at her as she seemed to notice something different about him, he nodded when she said it was nice to know. "Mmhm... so how was your summer?" Undoubtedly better than his, but that didn't take much. Oh good though; Kaika seemed understanding about the Willow thing. "Okay. But um... Maybe we should wait until we can talk in the common room." Because last thing he needed was for Willow or one of spies to overhear him; not that it mattered much to what he had say about her (since they were mostly good things), but yea. Privacy of the common room was always best.

Ah, okay... Excellent, as he suspected, Kaika Lockhart was feeling about the same way he was right now. Except it may have been worse for her since she had been there more years than him and was definitely friendly with more people. But it was mostly the same. "Oh? Well thank you." Except that her expression still didn't really match her words. Ah well, he'd figure it out . . . maybe . . .

Rhea walked into the Great Hall and automatically headed towards the HufflePuff table. The sorting had began and she smiled warmly at the new Huffies. They looked so cute. She looked over at the Gryffindor table and waved to Tori, who had just gotten sorted.

She sighed.

Five years ago she sat on that very same stool and got sorted into her new family...HufflePuff. She looked around the table as everyone chatted and welcomes each other back to school and shared stories of Summer Experiences.
Hers wasn't all that exciting really. Infact, the excitement was just beginning.

Infact...she reached into her bag and pulled out the fliers she had started working on on the train. She needed to get badges done as well. WHFTO was now alive and ready to recruit. Varius Tipps was not going to get away with campaigning against Werewolves unchallenged.

Miles, after running up to his dormitory to stash his stuff, ran back down to the Great Hall and looked around. Spotting Fia he headed for her table looking over his shoulder slightly to make sure he hadn't been followed. Never could be too careful and he said some important things hidden.

Putting his foot on the bench he sat down on the table not caring what anyone thought and looked at Fia with a grin. "Okay so Ivan isn't a total git after all. Guess what I found disguised as something else in my room..." he looked around and leaned down, "Ze brooms...." Laughing he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of chocolate and popped it in his mouth. "Did I come through or did I come through."

With nothing really to do, Tavelon observed his surroundings and then noticed some fliers which said something about werewolves. He was wondering what that was all about, so, in a big step for a small 11 year old, he approached the intimidating fifth year.

"Uh... Excuse me... are those flyers about that werewolf stuff people are talking about? What's going on?"

Fia jumped in her seat as the bench shook and then the table. Her green eyes focused to see her best bud, Miles sitting ON the table. "Thwy do make benches," she chimed in with a sneaky smile but then he caught her off guard.

"You mean IvaN did something nice?". They had the brooms and they could try them out on their own time of course and no one would figure it out. She didn't care about getting dirty. Herself and her clothing could simy be washed. "I know you brought them with you, right?". Next question was. "And I know we get to play with them secretly too, huh?"

"Yes...I know surprising isn't it. Though not really given the right blackmailed thing," he smirked and gave a wink to Fia. Hearing her excitedness he laughed and tapped his nose, "Mum's the word," he said with a nod around indicating the people around them. "Meet me after dark though. Room of Requirement." Sure why not if they were going to do something completely against the rules might as well go all out then. "But...I did manage to get those practice balls as well for...our practice for the Quidditch team..." he added with a meaningful look at Fia. "That is if you're still interested. Went back and picked up some more of that joke shop stuff too."

Rhea was brought out of her riverie by the sound of a voice. She turned her head to look at who had spoken. When she noticed it was a first year she smiled at him.
"Oh hi, yes it is," she said with a big wrm smile on her face. She pushed the flyers closer to him so he could better see. All the while she wondered where he stood, whether he was for or against Were-rights.

She gasped for air once again. "Oh Miles you are the best, ever! No matter what Ivan says about you, I know the truth.". That was a joke of course but like use would tell him. It was one of her secret ways she could find out things...private things if she had too. It was a girl thing and obviously she was learning how to use it.

"You might as well take a seat and eat with me.". She was not leaving until she had food in her but not too much. She was excited about practicing and Miles was nice enough to practice Quidditch with her.

Dominic should cheer up a bit, or she should stop looking in his direction, because he was totally bringing her down. Not fair. She didn't even think about this on the train and now...*sigh*

Yes. Thank you. Her summer did bring her into a nice mood. "Oh. Quidditch Summer Camp. So, yes, it was quite an amazing summer...you know, playing Quidditch, traveling across America, meeting new people..." and fashion, "...those sort of things made my summer" she smiled widely this time, just remembering. It was nothing like her summers in Romania, but it was the second best destination after that one. Especially the people, the Americans were quite amusing.

The Common Room? "Yes, later" because that's what she meant before, "Oh, do you think the Common Rooms were cleaned up to retain its old look, or were they changed?" that question popped into her head, and...as random as it could sound...perhaps it would distract him a bit?

"You're more than welcome, Dominic" she said, regaining the cheerfulness that she failed to show before.

A smile popped into her face as he mentioned her name. "Yes, Jake?" she asked, as if there was nothing wrong.

"Kaika!" Jake said forcefully, bringing his hand down onto the table sharply, eyeing the quidditch captain as sternly as he could, without looking too comical. "What yeeeeeeeear are youuuuuuu?"

This time he asked it with as much enuncuation as possible, lest she tried to avoid answering again.

"Um. You okay, Jake?" He said automatically, his eyes blinking in surprise still over the watery eyes. And then the third year was pointing at his chest. His new badge. His reminder that he had duties, a reputation, to uphold.

"Um. This?" Dom asked innocently enough, puffing out his chest in only the slightest. "I'm the new Head Boy!"

And what was that? In need of help to call Dominic? Call Dominic for what? Frowning from her to Jake, he nodded. "Yea sure... If you need something Jake, let me know." And hopefully it will be something he could solve.

Giving his head a last rub and rearranging his pink hair over his painful forehead, Jake did his best to smiled at Dominic. "I'm okay," the boy nodded, wincing as his fingers brushed that sensitive gonna-be-a-bruise.

Oooooh. Head boyyyyy.

Okay, so Jake didn't know what that was, but oh well.

"Congratuwelldone," he smiled, genuinely glad for the boy. "We get the Head Boy in our house... awesome," Jake added, a mischeviously glint in his eye.

A slight shrug of the shoulders was a decent enough response for Dom's final statement, though he really had absolutely nooooooo intention of doing such things.

Arrick slouched his way to one of the few empty spots scattered along the table and sat down, looking none entirely too excited. His feet dangled awkwardly about an inch off the ground when he was seated. It was rather uncomfortable.

As the Sorting continued to its conclusion he busied himself first with the ceiling (must be a big screen up there, has to be, projecting an image of the sky), the various fixtures around, then finally the staff table.

...Right. The dodgy newspaper in the train said that the Headmaster had been attacked by a werewolf (yeah, right), and there was a teacher who was a werewolf who did the attacking (how come they weren't sacked? if it were true? Funny, that.)

Arrick stared at the Headmaster. The man looked a bit twitchy, but there was nothing to suggest he was going to spout whiskers and fangs at any given moment. He wasn't even all that hairy like werewolves were like in the movies. The scrawny redhead was having second thoughts about the credibility of the Daily Prophet.
