Shana didn't say much, didn't move much when Art moved, just sat there eyeing the empty plate infront of her. She nodded when Art suggested sitting with her. "I'd like that." she beamed clinging on to him. He was like way amazing, kind of like having a second Blake just a year younger. Tee Hee.

Chris laughed and nodded. "Good point," he said with a smile. "Maybe it calls for something more gentle?" he suggested with a grin. He glanced toward the table and spied a pitcher of water. "Maybe this will work..." he said, holding it above their hands. "Interesting and dangerous?" he asked with a laugh. "Sounds like a must... but maybe once we're better at it," he added after a thought. He really didn't want either one of them injured over the course of their juggling adventures.

He frowned once more down at his food and looked over at Alex. "Really now?" he asked raising an eyebrow at her statement. "I do not need help-" he attempted to stab a macaroni noodle, but slipped away from the prongs. He sighed and tossed the fork down on his plate. "I give up! I shall waste away!" he said with a laugh. "I might be..." he replied looking over at her and narrowing his eyes slightly although a smile still played on his lips. Within, he was wondering what would happen if he did let her. The appearance itself would be interested- it would look like they were together. He wasn't sure that he didn't mind that. But, right now, it wasn't appropriate...

"Umm... me?" Chris said, raising an eyebrow, but a smile was soon to follow. Sleep and food were tied, but earlier than 7 or 8 was WAY too early for him. Always. He nodded to the change of time, preferring that much better than the other. He laughed at her quick response. "Well, even if that is so, I'm sure that your brilliance would end in disaster that would need some sort of clean-up crew," he retorted. He was an older brother- he knew this game very well.

Chris frowned slightly in response. "Never?" he asked cautiously. So, she would be in his dorm room? Classes? Good grief, she really was going to be quite distracting. "Your heart would shatter? That's a giant problem... we shall have to see the nurse about that. She didn't see that when she took care of your ribs?" he asked, with a laugh. "Delusional?" he asked. "Well, that would explain a few things," he said slowly.

At her final response, he smiled. Suddenly, everyone seemed to be crowding to the exit and he looked around. "Perhaps we should relocate to wherever everyone is headed?" he suggested.

Chris noticed the glance and briefly narrowed his eyes at the young boy. He was quite observant, just like his little sister. "We're stuck," he said, indicating their hands. "Some sort of charm must have hit us, and now we can't separate them," he added, seeing if Waz would actually believe him.

"A Joker? You don't look like a playing card to me," he said with a teasing grin. "But I'm sure that can easily be corrected," he added, lifting his wand slowly. As Waz attempted to talk with the curse still in place, Chris roared with laughter. "Don't worry," he said, wiping the tears from his eyes. "That should wear off by the time we get ready to leave..." he said, looking up at the students rising from their chairs. "Pleasure to meet you Waz," he said with a nod.

"Yes indeed, Your majesty! Let's hurry shall we?" Gwen said, taking Enid by the hand and getting away from the Head boy as quickly as she could. Gwen blushed furiously, she couldn't believe that Enid had basically just told the adorable Head Boy that Gwen had to use the bathroom.

Gunivere would not have minded so much if he hadn't been so much older and [I]soI] attractive, Gwen almost wanted to die right there. "Uh, Your Majesty? You don't happen to know where the bathroom is? Do you?" Gwen asked, an ironic smile on her features.

The pudding splattered, and some got on Gwen's face. Wiping it away, and then licking her finger, she laughed.

"That was great!" she said. "I can''t wait to learn more in the classes! I just hope I will be able to get the hang of them quickly once we are supposed to know them..."

" Yes, sitting down is a good idea" Rex told Kay. "Do not worry, i will make sure there will not be a problem here" Rex assured Kay. Rex will talk to Alexa.

" Gwen, this is my girlfriend Kay, mam" Rex told her. "She is in HufflePuff, mam" Rex said to Gwen.

"Yeah, I hope so to", said Ginny as she smiled and blinked at Gwen.

Kay helded Rex's hand tightly. "Ok, I trust you." Kay said softly. She looked up to the person that Rex was talking to. "Hello, Gwen. It's very nice to meet you." She said looking away just as fast. Kay was starting to feel uneasy just like last year. She was at the table she always want to be at. Her family was Gryffindor's, but she wasn't. 'why?' Kay thought as she looked around at everyone.

"Oh, hello Kay, its a pleasure to meet you!," said Gwen, extending a hand out to shake. "So, is she a transfer student as well?"

"This is going to be amazing! I can't stop dwelling on it! I just can't believe I'm here." she said. "You should have seen it when I got the letter. My mom was going to throw it away, said it must have been a prank. But I didn't think so, so I snuck downstairs to take it out of the garbage. I reread it and reread it until I had it memorized."

She took a swig of pumpkin juice. She was picturing in her mind what had happened the next day.

"A wizard came to my house the next day. He explained everything to me and my mom... She had a hard time believing it until I showed her that I could crush the paper into a ball, and then put it back perfectly in tact... When I did that a first time, when I was in school, I thought I was going insane. I had no idea it was magic that I could do..."

She looked back at Ginny. "You always knew you were a witch, didn't you? How was it like growing up in a magical home?"

" Kay, you are doing a great job here" Rex told her. " Let's just have some pumpkin juice" Rex told Kay. " I met Gwen here at the table" Rex explained to Kay.

" Kay has been going to Hogwarts awhile, mam" Rex told Gwen. " Tell Gwen how we met dear" Rex said to Kay. " I met Gwen at the table" Rex explained to Kay. Rex kissed her cheek.

"Oh, cool" said Gwen, as she waited for Kay to explain how they had met.

"So where were you born,mam? Rex asked Gwen. "Do you still live there or go home there when we are on breaks from Hogwarts?" Rex asked Gwen.

"Oh, I was born in Ireland. The Northern region. I grew up on a small potato farm there," Gwen replied. "We moved to London when I was 8. We didn't live there for long though. It was too much for us farm people. Less than a year there, we moved to a remote place near Wales."

She missed Ireland, but how could she think of that now that she was in such a magnificent place here in Scotland...

"Well, you may not be a world travler, but you are an experienced traveler, mam" Rex told Gwen. "Well, I bet you are a real hard worker, mam" Rex said to Gwen. " So you and I are going to fight for place in points for Gryffindor, right mam?" Rex asked Gwen.

"Well I'm a half-blood", repiled Ginny.

"I knew I was a witch. It was fun... I mean my older brother and sister showed me all this styff which was so cool and I wanted to go to Hogwarts badly. They have both left. I do love magic and lot and now I'm here", she said very happily.

"Oh wow! I didn't know you had siblings that came here! How cool. What kind of fields are they in now. Like, what do they do?" Gwen asked.

"Yes. Although, I would love to travel the world. Of course, I'll have to finish my education before I do so," she said. "Have you traveled?"

"Well my brother is used to play for the Chudley Cannons as a Chaser and then became an Auror. He is the oldest.

My sister who is in the middle is studing in the Magical Games & Sports Deparment and wants to get some type of job there. At the moment she is playing in the Holyhead Harpies as a Seeker".

Ginny thought about it for a while"A giant squid?"...
"I think it's just a joke from the older people...or if it does really exists ive never seen it...i was almost everyday there"Ginny sighed"Oh i haven't seen Virgi around this year..I don't know where she might be"she looked around"i hope she comes though."Ginny smiled.

Kay took the hand Gwen hold out. "Thanks, glad to have a friend from Gryffindor." Kay smiled as Rex asked her to tell Gwen how they had met. "Oh, well it's kind of a long story really." Kay stated taking the pumpkin juice Rex gave her. "I'm a second year here at Hogwarts and I was at the Leaky Cauldron try to think of away to work out a family...mmmm...well Rex came in and fall into me." Kay smiled at Rex and felt warm about the whole thing. "He and my cousin Barry where both talking at the some time trying to say they were sorry. I told them it was alright and asked they to join me." Kay watched Gwen as she told her the story and thought maybe that was enough. "Anyway we talked and took to know each other and I asked him if he would come to my house...and well you know the rest." Kay said hugging Rex. She listen to them talk about where Gwen lived and traveling. Kay remember about Rex wanting her to go see is mum with him and smiled.

Lucy was busy drinking her juice as she saw some students talking to each other she wished to join them so she said "Hey guys i'm Lucy, and i'm in the second year and what about you guys, are you too in the second year at Hogwarts" she asked.

"Aw, what a great way to meet!" said Gwen, enthusiastically. "You guys really take to each other. I can tell just from the short time I've known you." She smiled.

"Wow, Quidditch players? Thats amazing," said Gwen. She would love to have siblings older than her to look up too.

"Auror..." she was trying to remember what she saw about them, but she couldn't. "Forgive me, but I forget what an Auror is." She looked rather embarrassed.

"Hello Lucy. I'm Gwen. I just met Kay and Rex here. Kay is a second year, but I'm a first year," she replied, somewhat dully. She wished she knew more about the wizarding world.

" Well, traveling for me might be ok, mam" Rex told Gwen. "Well, yes education is important to finish. mam" Rex said to Gwen. " No This is as far as I trveled to Scotland, msm" Rex explained to Gwen.

" Kay, you explained our meeting beautifully" Rex told her. "Do you like Gwen?"Rex asked Kay. "She is a good friend of mine"" Rex said to Kay.

" My name is Rex Trigwlell, mam" he introduced himself to Lucy. " I am a fourth year transfer student from SweetWater, Texas, mam" Rex told Lucy. "As you heard, Kat is my girlfriend, mam" Rex told her.

"Well, still that is great," she replied. "At least you'll be out and about in this world before me."

"Hi, Lucy. I glad to meet you." Kay said thinking if she knew her from last year. "I wish we could have meet last year."

"I think it is." Kay said smiling at Rex. "The Auror's are like the Muggle police." Kay said softly when she heard Gwen ask about them. She turn her thoughts to her parents. "They are very important." Kay said sadly.

"Thanks." Kay said not looking up. "Yes, I like Gwen alot and Lucy." Kay said smiling at him. She didn't want to be sad. So she smiled at all of them.

Kay listened to them talking about traveling and couldn't wait to be able to go places, too.

"Well an Auror is member of an elite unit of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic trained to capture Dark wizards and witches", repiled Ginny.

"I only know that from my brother", she muttered.

"Oh, I gottcha! So they are like policemen, in the muggle world?" she asked. "How interesting! What about your parents. What do they do?" Gwen hoped she wasn't being too invading with her curiosity of the wizarding world.

"That clears up a lot, thanks Kay," Gwen said. She smiled at all of them.
