Raven blushed a little bit when Daniel held her hand, she was finding it hard to deal with the PDA rules but she didn't want to lose Slytherin points this term. "I will, once they show up; most of my friends still haven't arrived to the feast yet so it's definitely frustrating." she replied, while scanning the other house tables.

Rex gave Destiny a dirty look. They probably did not kbow about that certain Gryffindor girl. Rex laughed. He did a two step.

Rex gave Evelyn a dirty look. Then he gave her a sweet smile. " Oh you did not tell Destiny" Rex told Evelyn. Then he dances away from the table. Rex knows about this Gryffindor girl and this is going to be fun.

"Maybe they are stuck with the carriage.' said Daniel giggling. He looked up at the Staff Table. "Have you noticed the shuffling of the professors?' he asked Raven.

"I wouldn't be surprised actually, considering I've got friends in each of the houses." Raven chuckled a bit at Daniel's comment then smirked again as she noticed Andi sitting at the Gryffindor table, she hadn't seen her friend since their vacation over the summer which was interesting to say the least. "Yes I have, I mean, it's definitely interesting to see who they got to replace the people who were fired last term."

Elisabeta smiled at Vick and said "Everything is going fine Vick, how are things with you?"

He better watch who he's glaring at. No one glared at her best friend like that, or herself for that matter. And...okay, mood swings much? Glaring to smiling. She did not tell Destiny what? What? What didn't she tell her?!

Frowning, she watched the Gryffindor dance *rolls eyes* his way back to his table, having every possible memory flying through her head. What didn't she tell Destiny?! GAH! Oh...was he just messing with her? Pfft...better not be...

'Eh, he eats everything.' And when Destiny says everything, she means everything. The cat never seemed to get full, he was always just hungry. If he wasn't sleeping he was eating. What do you expet? Him is a growing wittle kittie!! Destiny would have laughed at Evelyn comment about Bunz and Sly, but the Gryffindork didn't seem to get the hint that he was not welcome here.

Resisting the urge to stand on the table and tell her Slytherin posse what this boy thought of them, Destiny took a deep breath. She was losing patience with him. She had no idea what was happening to her this term but she sorta liked it. Yes, being in Slytherin was fun and quite frankly the best house ever! *glares at whoever thinks otherwise.*

What was that? A dirty look? Destiny turned so she was face to face with this boy. He just comes to Hogwarts and thinks he can rule the school? No way. That was Destiny's job, and Evelyn's of course. What was he talking about? Evelyn knew something and she didn't tell her? Or was this boy just trying to scare her. 'I'll have you know that your dirty look does not scare me.' Because if that was what he was doing, he totally failed at it. His normal face was more scary. 'Oh, and your dance is stupid.'

Buuuuurn.

Now that the Gryffindor weirdo was gone, Destiny and Evelyn could finish whatever they were talking about. What were they talking about? Right, Sly. Destiny fixed herself on the seat so she was facing Evelyn again. 'No. He isn't green.' Which would be totally cool! 'Hey! You can change him that color!' Yep, just act like nothing happened with that boy..

"Well, he is a boy." she said, smiling a little. A cute little boy kitten. Yesh he wassss...

Wow, Destiny was really angry. Even Evelyn wouldn't cross the Slytherin girl at the moment. Oh yes, this year was going to be amazing. Smirking, she stared at Rex as her friend spoke, enjoying the little show. Though at the words 'your dance is stupid', she couldn't take it and burst out laughing. She had to agree about his dance, and just the thought made her laugh even harder.

After a few moments, she calmed down, taking a sip of water and wiping away the tears, Evelyn nodded and looked back up to Destiny. "I applaud you my Slytherin friend. You certainly have changed over the summer. Maybe you should stay at your grandmother's house more often. As far as the changing colors go, I don't think the spell works on animals or any really living thing for that matter. I tried to change Tiki green, but it didn't work. And I know I didn't do the spell wrong." That definitely was a frustrating day, and she had 'borrowed' her father's wand to do it too. Oh boy did she get into trouble...

after she was sorted, Nella walked to her house table, she wasn't surprised that she was a Slytherin after all, all her family was in Slytherin, she sat at the far end. looking miserable more than ever, she was asking herself, do i really belong to this school, why am i here? a single tear escaped her, but she tried to look happy, she thought, i should be happy, this is what i wanted all my life. and she looked at the table, she noticed that she's not the only one who's lonely and hoped she'll have friends soon.

Parker had only one complaint about his last name. Since it began with a Y, he was always the last at everything, including the house sorting. The hat itched his head, how old was that thing exactly? Hogwarts was not up to date with this sorting. There was plenty of other, non-itchy ways to be sorted into a house.

Parker proudly walked ti his house, the house he knew he would be sorted into, Slytherin. He would have to rub that into Thalia's face once he found her. As he walked, he scanned the Ravenclaw table, no sign of her. He was sure she was sorted already, and Parker was not paying attention to where she went. He moved his eyes to the Gryffindors and she wasn't there either. He smirked as he scanned the Hufflepuff's, she had to be there. There was no way she was a Slytherin. She wasn't anywhere to be seen, and Parker was confused. Where could she have ran off too? Maybe she was crying somewhere over the house she is in. He mentally laughed at her.

He gave up looking. He didn't want to deal with her anyway, he finished his walk and sat down in an empty seat surrounded by other first years. Maybe he would meet someone normal and not psychotic like Thalia. Now he just needed someone to talk too. Maybe that girl that looked sad, and she looked quite a bit like Thalia. He scooted himself closer to the girl, but stopped. That was Thalia. But what is she doing here? "Thalia?" he questioned, she unbelieving. "Shouldn't you be sitting with the other Hufflepuffs. I don't think they like when people sit at other tables." he smirked.

Did Evelyn mean all boys eat everything, or just boy cats? If it was all boys, that could explain why her brothers were so..weird. They ate everything! 'He likes pie, too.' That wasn't good. He would always get up in Destiny's pie..and she did not like to share that.

It was funny. It would have been funnier if he fell on his face, but Destiny wasn't having any luck today. 'So my change is a good thing?' She was starting to notice this 'change' too. 'It's just him!' She turned to the table he was at and pointed, and what was he doing? Was he--'My eyes! They are burning!' No matter how much her eyes burned, she just couldn't look away. Ewww! She had to look away..'Did you see that?' she asked still pointng, but at least she wasn't looking anymore. 'He was feeding her. Rex was feeding Kay!' That had to be the grossest thing she had ever seen..Fine it was the second grossest thing. The first had to do with her grandmother on a hot summer day. *Shiver*

They just needed to move on with their conversation about Sly. Lowering her arm, so she was no longer pointing at the grossness that was Kay and Rex, Destiny frowned. 'No green kitty?' Well that would have been fun. He could've been Slytherin Sly Moustache. She would secretly call him that.

Hmm, well then, Sly and Destiny went perfectly with each other. They both liked pie. Though what was the big deal about pie, Evelyn had no clue. "Yes, a good thing." A very good thing. She was getting slightly worried last year since Destiny seemed too...nice, even though the girl agreed with her on most things, but now... Now it was like another Evelyn she befriended. Though not all weird with this voice thing in her head. Where was that voice anyway...

Startled by the sudden outburst, Evelyn stared wide eyed at Destiny, trying to figure out what made her eyes start to burn. "What? Are you alright?!" Half standing up, she poured some water into an empty goblet that was next to her and was about to hand it over to her friend when she said something about Rex and Kay...feeding each other? knitting her eye brows together, she looked over to the Hufflepuff table, and sure enough...that was gross. Making a gagging sound, she sat back down and placed the goblet of water on the table, shaking her head at the two 'lovebirds'.

Taking a deep breathe, she smiled slightly at Destiny and shrugged her shoulders. "Nope. No green kitty. Unless you give him an outfit or something." The collar was pretty green too now that she thought about it. Was he still wearing it?

Rubbing her face, Evelyn pushed her dark hair away from her eyes and sighed. She was actually getting pretty tired and she couldn't wait to get back to the Slytherin common room in the dungeons. A nice cozy bed awaited her! Another small smile appeared on her lips as she thought of that, and she looked around, just seeing who else was at the table.

One girl did stand out in particular. She looked pretty lonely, and even though she looked happy, the sadness underneath that emotion was showing more than the girl thought. 'Of course she's sad. She's crying!' Well yea, it was pretty obvious, and she was sitting close by which made it easier as well. Maybe...they could be 'friends'? Heck, she was in a good mood right now. "Hey...You." she said, not knowing the girl's name as of yet. "Why don't you come sit with us." Gesturing to herself and to Destiny, Evelyn tried to look as kind as possible. Don't want to scare her away or anything...

She was cute after all. Not that... it... mattered to him.

...shuuut up.

He stopped leaning; she just kept getting closer anyway, so it wasn't like it would do any particular good. 'sides, it felt better to sit up straight and not be all bended and stuff. And her proximity wasn't so bothersome anymore, for the most part. Adjusting, adjusting.

If only she'd stop saying such insane things, he'd already be adjusted to his 'girlfriend'.

"I don't-" sigh. "It's possible he is."

Doubtful, but... possible. He bit his tongue as she chided the boy for... fanboying, trying not to laugh. It was CUTE, OKAY? IT WAS CUTE.

"Do you always guess so accurately? Maybe, if you do, you could stop guessing and started stating it as fact?" Neptune slipped her arm around his middle and gave him a little squeezey hug. "Thank you for your guess. YOU're pretty TOO." At least!

Neptune turned back towards the BIG staff table. That man was STARING at her. So she waved again. HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII MAN!

"Don't look at him." The beet-red fanboy. "If we pretend he isn't there, then surely he'll disappear. Surely. You should instead tell me about those people." The staff people, as indicated by Neptune's little finger blatantly pointing towards their table.

Evan could finally find his way away from Beaumont and reach the Great Hall with HIS chocolate, and totally fit body. Stupid Beaumont. She had just said he was flabby. What. A. Lie. He was sure she said it because she was jealous, and wanted HIS chocolate. He was holding it as if some crazy robber was behind him, and wanted his chocolate pile. He dropped some, and immediately grabbed it before it hit the ground. See? See? He had also good reflexes. Liar Beaumont. How he wished she would see him now? With his abilities so obvious? Though he didn't care. He knew he was perfect, and that was enough.

Before sitting to somewhere, he looked for a familiar face at the table as he walked towards it. He spotted Marie with some people he didn't know. With a smile again, he made his way towards them. "Heyy." he said the people around, and sat next to Marie. "Is the issue at the train solved?" That was a issue she was trying to solve between her friends, right? He dropped the big pile of chocolate in front of him. "Take your pick." he said to no one particular. It contained every kind of chocolate. He grabbed one for himself, then halted. The food must be delicious now. He eyed the half-opened paper of chocolate, and then glanced at his belly. With a sudden movement, he wrapped it again. He was not flabby, and would never be. Clearing his throat as if he just hadn't cared for his fitness, he asked to Marie "Has the headmaster talked?"

Chaucer definitely is popular tonight! Kate took him up on his invitation and made her way over to where he was sitting. "Hey Chaucer! Do you guys have room for another friendly face?" Kate smiled at the new people Chaucer had met, and noticed Art as well. "Hi Art! Long time no see! How are you?"

"Hey Evan!" Nicoletta called. She waved him over to where she was sitting.

Sapphyre noticed a dull in her conversations and shrugged, waving goodble to Rosalie and Thalia. Instead, she went to sit by a girl that looked rather sad and smiled slightly.

"Hi, I'm Sapphyre Black," she said, offering her hand, "but you can call me Phyre."

Thalia really felt like banging her head against the table now. Here was Parker sitting next to her and asking her if she was suppose to be at another table. Yes. Yes she was suppose to be at another table. NOT SLYTHERIN! She put her arm on the table and her chin was on her hand. Thalia looked at the arrogant boy next to her and really didn't care as much. She was in too much of a depressing mood to reply back in a smart way. "I wish," she muttered. "I really do Parker. But here I am. In the awful stupid house that I have to spend my next six years at Hogwarts," she said in a tone of misery. She was no longer that hyper little girl on the train. "Ughhhh....," she sighed and put her head at the edge of the table looking down at her feet, which were half hidden by her robes.

Iris walked into the Great Hall alone, having lost Aaron, Satine, Lucia and Wesley on the way in. There were too many students, if you asked her. She walked through the hall slowly, looking rather meerkat-like, searching for at least one of her friends. She couldn't find anyof them. Then she saw a familiar blonde boy, sat near the Prefect ... What was his name again? Never mind, and some other girl. He looked pretty uncomfortable around them. HA! Cartwright, uncomfortable. That's just made my day.

Then 'Cartwright' turned round. Whoa ... That is not Cartwright. Wow. It's ... It's ... He's cuter than Cartwright.

What are you saying?!
What? I'm not allowed to say some one is nice looking?
What about Aaron?
What about him? We're not technically going out.
Sure your not.
We aren't! Neither him, nor me, have ever asked the other out.
Still, don't go having those thoughts.
Why not? They aren't hurting anyone.
Yet.

Seeing as though none of her friends were around yet, she made her way over to the boy... He was new, but he looked too old to be a first year. Iris smiled at him as she sat opposite him. For a moment, she forgot that she was wearing make up, and she forgot that Cartwright thought she was going out with Aaron; this guy's eyes were amazing. "Hi there, I'm Iris." She said simply, with a small smile.

Marie was sitting there talking to Vicky and Oliver when she heard a familiar voice. Looking up she was happy to see it was Evan. "Hey Evan, I was beginning to think you weren't coming. I'm glad you did though." 'Oh yeah, that nasty issue on the train' she thought when Evan asked her if it had been resolved. "Well I guess the problem is sort of resolved." Marie wanted to tell Evan the whole story but now wasn't the time, she would wait until later to tell him what had really happened on the train.
Realizing that Evan probably didn't know Vicky and Oliver since they were new to the school she said. "Hey guys, this is Evan, a friend of mine. Evan this is Vicky and Oliver, they are both new here this term."
'Ooohhh, chocolate frogs' Marie thought as she looked at all the chocolate Evan put on the table. "Thanks, but I loaded up on my chocolate supply too when we were on the train. I think I will have enough to last a few days." Marie watched Evan put the wrapper back on the chocolate he had started to unwrap. "Something wrong with your chocolate?" 'Stupid question Marie, maybe he just decided he wants to eat real food first.' Marie felt her cheeks turn red as she realized how stupid her question sounded.
"The headmaster hasn't said anything to us yet. He's talked to the prefects that have went up to the table but that's it. At least I think he's the headmaster." Looking up at the staff table Marie did not see Kazi sitting in the headmaster chair, instead there was some stranger sitting there. Looking along the whole staff table she didn't see Kazi sitting anywhere. "Hey, you think Kazi got booted out of here? Or maybe he quit when he didn't get the headmaster job." Marie's life would be so much easier if Kazi was not teaching this term, especially if he wasn't teaching potions. Thinking about that first time she met Evan and what a fool she made of herself with the love potion she could feel her cheeks turning red again. 'Okay, so maybe that class wasn't so bad, I did make a new friend that day' she thuoght as she played with the fork laying there next to her plate.

Walking away from the sorting hat and towards the Greenie Table, as Lavi liked to call it. He sat down on the bench and looked at his fellow students. He noticed a few that he knew but they were all talking to others so he just let them talk. His eyes looked towards the front of the Great Hall and looked at the Professors. He wondered who would teach what subject and he leaned his elbow on the table, resting his head on it. He turned around and he suddenly noticed that he was tired and hungry. He wondered where he would be sleeping. He had heard something about a tower...or was that an other house? Lavi couldn't remember but it didn't matter, he would soon find out.

Violet looked around for anyone she knew then sawher sorta friend Evan so went to a seat next to him "Hi" said said

Evan smiled brightly at Marie. He was glad he found her too. There was a possibility of sitting next to Beaumont and--oh no. Not Beaumont again! He eyed her for a moment as she sat somewhere far. Good. Now, he could eat his meal happily, without any guilty conscience of his body or stomach. She'd managed to ruin his day again. Buuut, he was with Marie, and he should listen to her. Nodnod. He smiled again. "I'm happy that it's resolved." There was no nastier thing in a school lie having bad relationships with your 'friends'. The image of hugging Beaumont and Devilson on Diagon Alley passed through his eyes. Shudder.

"Ohhai." he said to both Vicky and Oliver. Newbies. Perfect. He remembered his last year when he was new to school too. It was always exciting. Hopefully, they would like here too.

"Oh, um..." Nothing was wrong with the chocolate, it was Beaumont who was wrong! She had said he was flabby, and now he would eat less from the delicious food today, and no more chocolate! He still didn't think he was chubby, but it didn't matter. She had rooted her evil thoughts once, and he wouldn't be able to eat whatever he wanted anymore. Giving another look of pure hatred towards her, he said "Nothing. Just that I've eaten enough today either." He would never admit that he suspected him being fat. Uh-uh.

As Marie started to answer his question, he looked up at the professors' table. Some new faces... Many new faces, he counted three. And who was that on the headmaster's seat? Where was the previous one? He remembered Kazi talking about his leave. Something like going on indefinite holiday. Wonder if the new guy's good.

"I don't know... maybe he hasn't arrived yet." That kind of man didn't look like he would ever leave torturing teaching the students. Must have punishing a kid somewhere. Poor kid.

Then, as his eyes were still searching for Kazi, he saw Lavi walk to the table from the sorting. Why did he attented the sorting? Hadn't he already been sorted in Slytherin? He shrugged and waved at him to come and sit with them. That guy was awesome and cool.
Whoa, and there another familiar face. He turned to see half-veela Violet. He didn't want another Victoria incident, so his other hand's nails pressing to his palms to remind he was Evan Cartwright and not some random veela-fan-boy, he smiled. "Hi. How was your summer?" Remembering that day with Victoria again... Shiver. What an embarrassment.

"Are those cupcakes?" Sylvia sat down next to Blake at the Slytherin table, peering over the lids of the transparent boxes. She giggled as she looked over at Blake and gave him a side on hug. "BLAAAKE! I've missed you? I thought you had been abducted or something." Scary thought, but she had been distracted by other people to forget about that. "So, How've you been?"

Nicoletta observed the plates and silverware. She had never really taken a good look at them and quite honestly, they were pretty. They gave you an almost light floaty feeling in your stomach. She had noticed that last year. Now I'm going crazy. she thought. Really, silverware?!
