Aaaand she heard the boy talk to her. How nice. Turning toward him, she introduced, "I'm Ella. Nice to meet you! It's always nice to meet new Gryffindors." She gave the guy a nice smile, then saw another girl join them, and Ella gave her a quick nod too, then picked up a slice of cheese pizza. Hogwarts food was the best, even better than her mom made. "Nice fangs," she pointed out.

Alex could feel her face grow warm as Chris's hands wrapped around hers, and she smiled up at him softly. "No worries." She said with a grin. She looked down a bit shyly before looking back up at him as the train started to slow.

"How about we see each other now? Join me at the Gryffie table in the great hall?" She asked him smiling. "The would work right?" She said with a grin as she wandered off the train, and into the great hall. Finally seating herself at the Gryffindor table, and she looked around for Chris. He was coming right? She drummed her fingers on the table, hoping to see him.

Chris had watched her move away from him and had somehow gotten off of the train. He had followed the flow of students until he had seen the carriages... and the strange horse things that seemed to be pulling them.

He had frozen at the sight of the castle, and it hit him that he really wasn't in the U.S. any more. Taking his time, he moved through the castle, taking in the sights and sounds of what was going to be his new home for the semester. Eventually, he came to the place where all of the other students had gathered. Taking a step in, he looked around wondering what table he should sit at... and if her were ever going to find Alex in this mess.

Alex had forgotten that it was Chris's first time at Hogwarts. Until she watched him come in and look around, slightly in awe of everything. She smiled a bit, as she too looked around. It was an amazing place. She grinned as she stood up from the table and walked over to where he was. "Lost?" She asked smiling up at him with a grin.

"I forgot how overwhelming this place can be. But lucky for you! I am a great tour guide, Here come with me." She slid her hand into him, just for the sake of not losing him in the crush.. Suurreeee Alex.. Her mind spoke, but she ignored it for the moment.

"These are the house tables, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin." She said pointing to the 4 long tables that were out. "Here is where we sit, at the Gryffindor table." She smiled as she led him to the table and sat down, sliding her hand out of him. "Better?" She asked him smiling.

"Hey Ella, no I haven't. Have you? I haven't seen Nate yet either." Carter said commenting on her lack of significant other. Not that he would mind if they broke up. He still didn't like him. "So did you get to try out your new broom?" he asked. He hadn't gotten a chance of course. Being muggle-born (and having a little sister in the house) he had to put all of his magic stuff away.

Enid raised an eyebrow at Chris. "O, I know that much already, kind sir!" she said, waving a hand as if this was insignificant information. "What I wish thou would enlighten me on, though, is information regarding thy universe's monarchy," she added, her tones turning a little more serious and businesslike now. "Thou must understand, where I come from, Lady Alexa and I are royalty; but... this alternate universe we seem to have landed on... well, there are only commoners! Would thou be as kind as to explain this further to me, sir?"

Josh watched the boy with a wide smirk on his face and...yess the action began. This guy was really fast which was cool but...ha! His dark eyes spotted two colourful candies flew out his hand...ah sadness...he was having fun and this kinda ruined it. Then he could not help but chuckle at the boy when he fell off the table. ''Now this was the coolest thing you have done so far, mate!!'' he yelled back and was about to look back at Alexa when he saw the candies glow in the boy's mouth.

...
...

He halted for a moment, then
''BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!''
Laughed out so much that, everything before him was threatened to fall off the table or mix with each other ''Merlin! That was FUN!!! I told ya that you'd taste it, did not i? I told ya!Definitely not a Keeper's job though, it won't be a pleasant experience to try to catch Quaffle this way. But it was GREAT! I think you can work in a circus and have lotz lotz lotz of fans!!!'' He raised his eyebrows when he told him to stop throwing things at him as he threw a few candies back. Grinning he caught the red one unwrapping to taste it and ignored the others which hit either his shoulder or chest. ''Hmm strawberry. I like strawberry'' raising a thumb at the boy, he stood up. ''Now i'm gonna pay a visit to the Slyties. No wonder my girlfriend there is missin me. Smell ya later circus boy!''

And as he made his way towards the Slytherin table, he patted Alexandra from her back and continued his way.

"Hi, I'm Ginny as well. First year", said Ginny as she shook Ginny's hand. "Wow we both have the same now". Ginny smiled. "Why don't you sit down here?".

Lucy was about to start tickling Ty to see if he was lying (which he probably was) when she heard someone yelling her name--or nickname. She whipped around and her smile widened considerably.

"BLAKEYYYYYYY!!!" She shouted and then got up to give him a hug. It might have been a bit weird since they hadn't even known each other that long, but she knew Blake wouldn't mind. She grinned at him and pinched his cheek--his oh-so-cute cheek. Teehee.

"What's thaaaat?" She said, eyeing the lunchbox in his hands. She hoped it was some kind chocolate or some sweet thing--Blake knew how she was addicted.

Just then, she heard Josh reply to her greeting. She turned to him and gave him a smile--Lucia??

"Since when do you call me Lucia?" She asked him, raising her eyebrows.
"Nothing much, just glad to be back," She replied to his question, still eyeing Blakey's lunchbox.

Chris heard a familiar voice and looked down at Alex with a smile. "A little..." he admitted with a grin. His eyes traced the walls and then moved to the ceiling. "Where's the roof?" he asked, seeing how the last of the sunset remained on the clouds... just like it had been outside. Even some of the stars were beginning to appear- but that was above all of the candles that floated above their heads.

"Well, I am glad to have a tour guide such as yourself," he said with a laugh. But, he quieted as her hand slipped in to his. He pushed the thought away as they moved through the crowd, knowing that was probably the reason for the gesture.

He nodded as she indicated the different house tables and then their seats. "Very nice," he said with a grin. "Much better- at least we have seats! I didn't think I would ever make it through that crowd!" he said with a laugh.

Alex grinned at Chris spoke, he was looking up at the roof. "It is Enchanted to look like the nights sky. Orr well any sky for the matter. Pretty cool huh? Though it can get a bit scary when it is Thundering out!" She laughed a little, very glad that it was nice weather out, and the Great hall wasn't all scary.

"Why Thank you, I am glad top be of service!" She said with a grin, as they weaved their way through the crowd. There really were alot of people here, and it was so easy to be lost and confused. "If you ever need anything, like a tour guide, or just information about the castle. Ask me! I know." She nodded her head, her hair flying about.

"Yes we do have seats! Food soon as well!" She exclaimed happily! "Well, you can now!! Aren't you happy that I am here now??" She asked smiling as she sat next to him. She was rubbing her hand slightly, the hand that had held his was very warm at the moment.

"It's not just that we're in different houses,but,this will sound crazy.I kinda miss my mum and dad.The first day here has been so overwhelming.
"Cool.So,how many years have you been at Hogwarts?"He asked,now more comfortable with his surroundings.

Ella scoffed. "Well, yeah, but I didn't say hi or anything.." She gave a little shrug, then added, "It's not like I honestly want to talk to her either; I mean, I like Marilyn as much as you seem to like Nate." she pointed out with a small eye roll. "And Quidditch? Oh, I got practice all right. There's a small field of grass behind out house, and Dad enchanted it so that it looks normal to Muggles." See now that, Ella hoped, would make him want to come over to her house more. And that was without even mentioning the completely enchanted inside... that was a cool word, enchanted. Enchanted.. it sounded so.. magical. But, snapping out of it, Ella turned to the back to Brad. She hated getting distracted, and it tended to happen often. It was something she hated about herself. "Oh, I've been here for a year now. I love Hogwarts.. you're going to love it too."

"That's cool."He smiled smugly.He was more comfortable now.

Jack held back a glare. He was going to be NICE to Legend. That way if Legend ever did anything that was worthy of taking away points, Jack could play the innocent victim card. Hehe. Actually, now that he thought about it--it was probably a good idea to remind Legend of this little fact.

"Well then...HELLO," Jack said somewhat sarcastically. "Do I?" he asked. He was probably lying BUTTTT what if he wasn't? He nonchalantly rubbed his forehead (just in case) and went, "Hmm, I wonder how THAT got there?"

"AND I wouldn't say I have a big head," he added, acting like he was making conversation. "I'd say my head is completely normal sized. I'd never let power go to my head like that idiotic Cale Newell," he grumbled. "Even though I AM the only prefect besides Livvy who can deduct points."

Maybeeeeee that would make Legend show him a bit more respect. Or maybe he just wouldn't care. Either way Legend should know that he could take away points and he was NOT afraid to do it if he got mouthy with him.

Sahking herself from her thoughts she said, "Dude, that's crazy. Fighting on the train, who does that?" Teehee. "I don't even want to think about NEWT year... I am already studying for OWLs... and I am only a second year." she said with a slight bit of panic in her voice.

Quidditch.. oh lovely lovey Quidditch. *Sigh* "I am thinking I may try out this year. I missed tryouts last year. I was a bit too wrapped up in things." she said with a sheepish grin. A first year too caught up in things. HA! She was too scared to tryout.. afraid she'd like totally fall off of her broom.

"Ehh, just some small arguments, nothing big," Jack explained with a shrug. All in a days work, he supposed. "ALREADY studying for OWLs?" he asked her, a bit of a panicked look in his eye. Was that...normal? He only studied during his fifth year for OWLs and he had done pretty well...but ehh. To each his own, he supposed.

"You definitely should!" Jack encouraged her. Even though he wasn't captain, he still felt obligated to try and recruit for the team. Hehe. "I never played until my fifth year, so the fact that you missed one year is no biggie," he assured her.

As soon as he spoke, someone else joined the table, a girl who apparently knew Alexa. He was about to introduce himself to the newcomer when Alexa and this new girl started...well, talking really weird. Like they had just jumped out of a Shakespeare play. Ummmmm...alright then. He watched them in awe for a few moments before he concluded that they were probably joking (erm, he THOUGHT they were, at least) so he just turned to Chris instead.

"Ready for a new term? Look at all the new staffers up there," he said, glancing up at the staff table. "That one dude looks CREEPY doesn't he? Like a Mini Kazi almost!"

"Hey Chris! I'm good, you? How was your summer?" Natasha asked, smiling at him. It was nice to see someone she recognized here and that was acting... Normal.

"Y'know Chris, I really don't know what's going on. I came over here and they were both talking like this, one of them was saying that I'm her maid, even." She just didn't know.

"Your robes are in your sleeping quarters?" She sort of said, and asked at the same time. Nat almost wondered if she should go to the Healer, or a teacher to ask them what to do. "You're not going to be expelled for something like that." Natasha said because she really looked so upset.

Well of course it was cool. HE had done it. But Legend still couldn't help but think that this guy was...insane. Yup. He must be. As the other dude just burst out laughing the green eyed boy shrugged. He was laughing eh? Oh well at least that meant he wasn't gonna throw more stuff at him. Taste it....hey"Oh, yeah...thats pretty cool!!" Legend said realized his actions and what the boy had said before matched perfectly. Circus? Hahahaha. No. Princes didn't end up in circuses. Maybe he need like a body guard or something so people would stop mixing him up with normal people.

.....
.....
CY! He was perfect. He would as the Huffie later."Later dude." Legend said with a wave. Ew this guy had a girlfriend.



There actually wasn't alot of chocolate on his face, but as Jack rubbed it he ironically caused it to spread more. Bitting his lip the third year held back a laugh. Mr.Head Boy the Chocolate Head. "Dunno, maybe you fell in a lake filled with chocolate?"

Cale Newell? Who was......DEAD ANIMAL ON HIS FACE GUY!!!! Legend burst out laughing. HAHAHAHA. Jack....like dead animal on his face guy? Haha no that guy was actually COOL. He just....looked weird. And had weird hairy animals at the side of his face. "That guy looked weird. And you just ARE weird. Sooo maybe you are more alike then you think."

Oh? So Jack was getting smart now was he? Pulling out the 'i can take points away from you' without really looking like he said it to HIM. Legend's smirk grew. "Oh really? That's nice. I guess you'll be deducting alot of points from me...or should I say from Gryffindor because of me. Pity it's your last year and because all the points your gonna take away we'll probably not end up getting the House Cup." Who ever thought this third year didn't use his head was wrong.

He was just plain evil.

Lady Alexa looked at Prefect Potter with weary eyes as Lady Enid spoke. Nodding her head at Lady Enid she said, "Yes, yes this must be the problem... why are these people speaking to me in such... common tones... as though we are *gasp* equals... I am frightened, Lady Enid. Most frightened indeed."

Lady Alexa started as some commoner patted her on the back. Gasping and making a face of disgust she clung to her royal companion and said, "O, Lady Enid, why did that common boy just lay his unworthy hand upon my back?"

Alexa began to answer the Head Boy... when she felt strange.... hmmm.. her pumpkin juice tasted funny.

Looking at the Head Boy shee blinked several times and said, "Do pardon me, kind sir... what is your title? THe badge of honor upon your chest must mean you are of Royal stock as well." Lady Alexa chewed on her lip and cast wary glances around herself and slid closer to Lady Enid.

Lady Alexa blinked at her maid and said to Lady Enid, "What is this place and how did we end up here? Their speech hurts mine ears and they know us not... How have we come to be in this odd place.. and how might we get home? THe King will be most upset, Lady Enid, most upset indeed."

Eeeek! He interrupted a guy being tickled by Juicy. That dude wouldn't be pleased. Sighing, he glanced at the two boys, "Dudes! I'd be out in a minute. Sorry for the interruption." He said with slightly furrowed brows before turning his attention towards Lucy.

Awww, she hugged him! His arms snaking around her waist, Blake smiled and finally got the guts to sniff her hair. Taking a long satisfying snuffle, he felt his knees melting - sort of and had to back off! Oh my my, the scent was something he hadn't experienced before. One thing was for sure, they smelled like....like..gorgeousness! "Ah..goo..cake..my..mom...." Stammering, Blake squeezed his eyes shut and took a long deep breath. Feeling that he could speak again, he opened his eyes and smiled like a dork, "J-juicy! I've got you s-something." Closing her eyes with his free hand, Blake pulled off the lid nd placed the box on her palm, "..Careful.." He said and retracted his fingers from her eyes, "TAAAADAAA!" He announced and wiggled his brows while pointing at the box, "Specially for you and your favorite, CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES!" She was just sooo cute!

"You're in Hogwarts, and you're here to, uh, learn magic like everyone else." Like that was going to make sense to either of them. At all. She sighed, this was going nowhere, but Natasha couldn't make sense of the two girls. The one she was now talking to looked younger then her, even.

Lady Alexa blinked her eyes rapidly at the commoner speaking to her now. "Well, yes... I do know magic... doth thou not know magic, maid?" she asked slowly so maybe the weird girl could understand her better.

Looking to Lady Enid she said, "Dear Lady Enid, I am most definitely frightened of these- these common folk."

Lucy giggled as Blake tried to explain to the guys.

"It's no problem Blakey, they don't mind," She said with a glance at Tyler particularly.

But she when she was hugging him, she felt him hold on to her longer than needed...and was he SNIFFING HER HAIR?! OHMYGOSH. Lucy giggled again and heard him stammering. He was never like this--he ususally had plenty to say, and it all made sense...most of the time. She started to ask him if he was okay, but then he closed her eyes. She obeyed him and kept them closed, waiting for her surprise. She heard him say 'careful'--WHAT WAS IT?? The suspense was killing her. Then she finally felt the lunchbox on her hand. And then he opened her eyes and yelled about chocolate cupcakes.

Lucy was confused for a second, but then she understood. He had gotten her CUPCAKES. And not just ANY kind. CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES. She was so excited--particularly because they were from Blakey, and then she shrieked and hugged him again, being careful not to tip the lunchbox.

"OHMYGOSH!! BLAKEYYYY!! I can't believe you--" Or was it his mom? "made me cupcakes!! And CHOCOLATE cupcakes!!!!!! Oh my God, I love you Blakey!!" She said excitedly, realizing too late what she had said. She released him and then blushed.

"Umm, I mean, as friends, of course!" She said with a shaky laugh. Blake was awesome. This was fact. She looked at the cupcakes again and they looked drool-worthy. She took a piece and tasted it. It melted it in her mouth and she closed her eyes, trying to relish the moment.

"Oh wow, these are AMAZING!!! Here, taste it," She said, and she stuffed a piece in his mouth. She was so excited.

Brant sat down at the table and instantly started to eat, he was so hungry. The treats that he ate on the Train wasn't enough to satisfy his hungry. He pilled his plate high, with chicken,corn,peas,potatoes and Gravy had to be everywhere.

Kat walked over to the Gryffindor table looking for Lucy and Tyler. She finally spotted them and ran over to them. "Did you guys really just Leave me??" She called out to them as she approached them.

Lysander walked around the Grffindor table to make a few friends....
His eyes were a warm innocent brown color...
and he had a radiant smile..
