Nobody could look at little old her for too long without believing she could do any of the stuff she did. Although she half wished Raven was around. The other half was glad the Slytherin wasn't, because it seemed she'd made some sort of big slip.

But then Professor Vindictus spoke, and she was a little surprised. Enough so that her green eyes widened even more, practically making her look like one of those amazingly sickeningly cute dolls with the giant eyes. As if any of those would have come up with the outfit she was wearing. But back to the accusation. "My juice?," she asked, glancing down at the glass in her hand. "I didn't put anything in my juice. I just poured some juice into the glass, then left." The best part of that was she couldn't even be accused of lying. Not exactly. She had taken the jug of juice and poured herself some before leaving the table. It was the stuff she wasn't ever confessing to that was the shifty part, and even that wasn't really bad. Just funny, and temporary. "Here," she added, holding the glass out to him. "There's nothing in there but juice. Honest. You can check." Step two of the innocent act, and he wasn't about to find anything in her glass anyway.

He was still frowning as he took the cup and lifted it to his nose.

Sniff, sniff.

"I don't smell anything."

Then he turned to Neo. "Perhaps Mr. Masterson will take a sip," Vindictus said and handed the cup to the Groundskeeper.

"Yeah? I'm kind of glad i met a fellow poor person." he chuckled. "My other friends that i've made here are pretty rich and well, most of them are in slytherin. Actually, all of them are." he chuckled. It was nice to have met someone who wasn't in Slytherin. "Ah, i didn't want to come because i hat dancing, so i didn't see the point of coming if i was just going to stand around. But hey- i've meat a lot of people. It's feels nice to expand my horizons." Jay replied with a grin. He looked down at his own clothes. "I borrowed this from one of the other kids that i uh.. lived with." Bah, Orphanage. That was one nice thing, he'd always have new things to wear when he "borrowed" other kids clothes. "Oh yeah, any free samples are great." he laughed. Jay tossed another piece of ham in his mouth before taking a bite of the pizza. Hm. It was... interesting. But Jay preferred his meats on his pizza. "I still like meat better on my pizza." he chuckled. "But this isn't a bad substitute once in a while."

Vashti shrugged. "Yeah, I suppose you're right." Nod. "Orrr I could sneak onto the team as a Beater for the next match and protect you that way." Totally kidding of course. Maybe. "Or a game for fun would be cool too. Maybe the next time the practice pitch is open...and if we're allowed Quidditch equipment." Which probably wouldn't happen. Eh. "Over the summer maybe?" Not sure how that would work out. But still, didn't hurt to suggest it, eh?

"Ditto that," she said with a grin before chuckling when he said all his friends were in Slytherin. "That's like how almost all my friends are first years. Not all, but a good number of them." Not that that was a bad thing, because all of them were tons of fun. But it was also nice having those her own age and older. "'Other kids'?" she asked curiously. "Brothers and sisters?" Taking another bite of her pizza as well, she nodded. "Yeah, meat's still the best pizza topping. This thing is pretty good though. Different."

Hearing a shout, she looked up from her pizza and glanced in the direction it had come from. Was someone in trouble? Professor Vindictus certainly didn't look happy. Oh Merlin.

Jay chuckled. "Ah, very true. But that would only work if i were on the team, which I'm not. Maybe if i was here at the beginning of the year, i might have made the team." he shrugged. "A practice game would be fun." he agreed with a nod of his head. "Well, if a bunch of us could sneak out somehow, maybe we could have that practice game." he suggested. "Summer? I don't know.. My summer's very busy." Busy? That was an understatement. Jay was going to find his mom over the summer. There was no way he could do anything else.

Jay smiled. It was always nice to meet someone in who was somewhat in your situation. "Ah, that's cool. Most of my friends are older than i am. But then again, i don't have many friends here to begin with." he chuckled. "Uh, yeah. Other kids." he said as he awkwardly looked away. Might as well tell. "No, not brothers or sisters. I uh.. i live in a home. You know, like an orphanage.." he trailed off. "I came here to find my mom." he said, as he took a nibble of the pizza. "Definitely. I mean, this is alright, but.. I like my meatballs." he chuckled, as he somewhat changed the subject.

And then Jay watched as Vashti's attention was taken off of her pizza. He followed her gaze to a man who was shouting at one of the students. He shook his head, uncertain of who the man was, as he looked back towards Vashti.

Vashti giggled. "Oh right, of course. I forgot that you said you weren't here at the beginning. Next year then." She furrowed her brow and gave a small, hesitant smile at the mention of sneaking out. "I dunno about that though. I don't fancy time in detention. I've heard they can be pretty awful." Then he was saying that he would have a busy summer, and she raised an eyebrow, curious. "Oh? What sort of things are you going to be doing then?"

She smiled. "Well your friends list just got bigger. You can consider me your friend, if you like." And then she flushed slightly red when he told her his predicament (and pretty much answered her earlier question about what he was doing over the summer), and she wasn't sure what to say. She was quite certain he wouldn't want to hear an "oh I'm so sorry." She knew she wouldn't if she were in his place. So instead she asked, "So your mum's here? How do you know-" But then he was changing the subject back to the pizza, and if that was what he'd rather talk about then she'd willingly oblige. "Oh, yes, I definitely agree."

Somehow or another Leilani ended up at the food table. No surprise there. Grabbing a plate and a cup she started down the table. Not being excedingly hungry, Lani didn't overfill her plate. She grabbed a few grapes, two tacos and some kind of Romanian cake. WOOOHOOO!! Romanian cake!!! Yeah! ..... *no comment* She filled her cup with a strawberry smoothie. Mmmmmm.... Yeah. Always came back to the food.

Jay laughed. "Eh, it's not a problem. I feel like i've been here longer than a couple of days." he replied. "I mean, i made friends faster than i expected and everything." he shrugged. "So, you're not a risk taker, eh? Not a troublemaker?" he asked curiously. He most definitely was a risk taker and a troublemaker and maybe even a prankster, or a jokester.

Jayce grinned. "Well, i figured that." he replied. "You didn't have to tell me, i already added you to my list." he chuckled and pretended to pull out a piece of paper and write on it with his invisible pen. "See? Already there." Jay commented. Feeling the need to tell the girl because Eiri said he shouldn't lie, he said. "Yeah. I've been searching for her for a while, Went all throughout America, and i found a couple of females with my last name over here, so i came here to resume my search." he shrugged.

Vashti nodded, glad for him that he'd quickly made new friends. That was always good when one suddenly lived in a new place. Then she shook her head, grinning sheepishly. "No, not when it comes to things like that, where I'd get in trouble. Mostly because my parents would probably murder me if I ever got a detention or anything like that, especially for something as 'silly' as Quidditch." And of course she was exaggerating, but it would still be incredibly awful if they ever found out she got a detention. Especially if it was for something like sneaking out to play Quidditch. Being Muggles, they didn't exactly care for Quidditch all that much.

She grinned and laughed when he pulled out an invisible paper and pretended to write her name. "Well alright then. You're one step ahead of me." Then her expression softened a bit as he explained his situation with his mother. "That's really sweet. I really admire your determination to find her." Then something occurred to her. "What about your father?"

Teal guided the hot blonde, snagged a few butterbeers and some random food, and led the two toward a table. Pulling a chair out for her her smiled, "This tie is killing me by the way."

As professional as Teal was, he HATED wearing suits.

She sat in the chair and said "Thank you," and waited for him to give her the food and the butterbeer. "That tie looks really hot you know..." She smiled and whispered in his ear giggling.

Teal bounced his eyebrows with a smile, "Well, at least its making you happy."

The former-department head in the Ministry of Magic eyed the staff area. None of them looked familiar at all. "You recognize any of the current staff?" He pressed his lips together tightly.

Droo · 06-24-2010, 04:37 AM

"Hmmm..." she said looking over to them. "Not... really..." She said and leaned back on him. "Tell you the truth, I don't see anyone I know" She pouted. "Except you, and you I loooove."

ZDARDSKY · 06-24-2010, 04:46 AM

Teal grabbed her hand and pecked her on the lips, "Just so happens that I love you too."

He cringed inwardly at the chessiness. But Ariel loved it, and he was looking out for her.

"I'm a lucky guy." He finalized.

Droo · 06-24-2010, 04:55 AM

"You are," she agreed. "Where's my butterbeer?" She asked looking up at him. And smiled. "Were you kind enough to drink it for me?" She said giggling.

ZDARDSKY · 06-24-2010, 04:59 AM

"Not that kind," He said, sliding it over to her. With a wave of his wand, the bottlecaps popped off. "What should be toast to," he asked, eying the golden liquid.

"Toooooo..." she said thinking. "To your new home in London! And to spending lots more time together!" She said and lifted her butterbeer. "Wait... I didn't mean lots, well a good amount, but not like smothering good you know?" She said hoping he understood.

ZDARDSKY · 06-24-2010, 05:07 AM

Teal laughed, "Actually, here's to me smothering you." And tapped his bottle to hers.

He was joking of course. Kind of.

Droo · 06-24-2010, 05:13 AM

"I'm so glad you get me." She said drinking a sip of the creamy drink. "Tell me. I'm curious. When you first walked into those doors, and the sorting hat was on your head, what did you think?

Rawr! · 06-24-2010, 05:16 AM

Typically, Jimbo can be found at the food table. Although he was stuffing his face, he still managed to look very handsome in his crazy polka-dot suit.
But he wasn't even attempting to look handsome. What he WAS attempting was to stuff two doughnuts into his mouth at once. He tried four at first, but that had a horrid result.

He still hadn't gone to the dance floor. No, he walked in, saw the food and walked right past the floor. He had stood staring at the table for a full five minutes before he decided what he wanted to eat first. And boy, was it good.

But he was starting to get weird looks from people and it wasn't letting him eat in peace. Any more of this and he'd be packing up his food and moving elsewhere.
Seriously, how rude.

Teal looked to the ceiling in thought as he took a sip from his drink. "Well, it was my first time with the enchanted ceiling you see. Very stormy out, all I was thinking was... why I was not wait. Rain was falling, but it obviously didn't reach us."

He paused for a moment.

"Then the hat called out Gryffindor and I joined the red and gold table." He shrugged slightly, not too exciting. "The hat didn't even talk to me at all. Seems it did to most people. What about you?"

Droo · 06-24-2010, 05:24 AM

"I was thinking how great it was that I was a witch and I could do magic and all. And the hat said to me 'Merlin's Beard! Will You Shut up? Hufflepuff is where you'll end up.' And I was rushed over to the Badgers. Yay us!" She said and boogied in her seat.

She looked at him as his attention was pulled away from her to the dance floor and she knew where his eyes were going. It did irritate her that she was never enough to hold Nico's attention. Just as it had when they were kids. It always bothered her and it made her question everything about herself and she always found herself lacking. And Tommy hated that feeling. She sighed and tried not to let it show. The more things changed the more they stayed the same.

She let the feeling past really wishing that she wasn't feeling as exposed as she did at that moment. "Yes I hope they turn up. They were some of our best testers." And no one else was willing to test out the brooms now that people had disappeared. She nodded as he was obviously pleased with the turn of events. "You and Anna?" she asked him curiously. "I just might take you up on that. It would be nice to invest in some wizarding stock."She had heard rumors about Gringotts opening up a stock market glad to see that for once the rumors were true. His wink still made her blush and she quickly shook her head. She wasn't going to keep letting Nico gt under her skin. She wasn't that little girl that had wrote him that silly letter.

"Of course I am. You're as Slytherin as they come." Clearly this was a good thing. Nicholai grinned easily at her.

"Have you looked into methods to safeguard the testing procedure?" Nico asked, "You know, perhaps a few potions they can carry on them in case any of the charm effects are a little less than optimal." It'd be worthwhile. There were plenty of medical potions that could be tweaked to fit the unique circumstances of broom testing.

"Yeah, Anna Greingoth..." No he was not going to call her Anna Greingoth-Newell. It didn't suit her. Her hair wasn't nearly THAT terrible. "After she graduated I hired her on and we worked so well together we went into partnership." He made a mental note to send her some information about the company.

"I should really find my date, maybe you'll save me a dance, Tommy?"

Nikolai Vannacutt turned his head slightly towards Willow as she spoke that one, ridiculously fatalistic sounding word.

"Indeed." He lifted an eyebrow and escorted her towards the main room, where they'd have to pass what looked like an army. Right. Pleasantries.

Upon passing the crowd that had, like them, undoubtedly just arrived and were mingling with one another, Willow did not think it quite necessary to approach them and say hello. After all, none of those faces meant anything to her - not one of them rung a bell inside her pretty little head.

Not to mention that, if anything, since she was the alumni that had not been here for two years, the other people should be the ones greeting her. Them. Willow chastised herself for having momentarily forgotten she'd not come alone.

With her chin in the air and not paying much attention to the rest of the people, she led herself AND Nikolai to the food table. Because she was thirsty.

At the sight of her old Flying professor, her green eyes open widely for a second, before arranging themselves. It really was, for some reason, slightly surprising to Professor Vindictus still led the Ravenclaws. Refreshing, too, sort of. "I can't believe Vindictus still works here," Willow commented on an undertone, quickly taking possession of a glass, and raising it to her lips. And was that the... Toussaint boy? Celandine's brother, Evolette's friend. Huh.

Willow pretended not to notice.

Constantine had been staring upwards and totally not paying attention to whatever in the world Max and the student were speaking about.

That was until Max said his name to bring him back to earth.

"What? Sip? Sure," he shrugged, reaching over and taking the class out of Max's hand and lifting it to his lips for a drink. He then frowned gently, licking his lips and staring into the glass for a second.

"Mm, that's a good drink. You should try some, Max. I like furry creatures with the cute little whiskers, you know? And...the ears that like...twitch when you poke 'em. Have you met Jadyn, Max? You should come meet Jadyn some time. I think she's going to be a quidditch player one day. I like pie. Do you like pie?" He gave them all a very SERIOUS look as he raised the glass and took another drink. "Good stuff."

Nikolai's lazy gaze roamed the room and he spotted several familiar faces, none that he really wanted to talk to though. Well, there was Nico Toussaint, but his best friend's younger brother was hardly someone he missed. He'd probably see the young man at yet another gathering in a few days anyway.

"You know what they say..." he drawled in an undertone as they passed a tray of pastries in an oddly garish colour, "Those who can't do..."

With a smirk, he picked up a shiny, fat strawberry and dipped it in the bowl of chocolate before lifting it to Willow's lips.

Grayson was seriously starting to think this whole situation was surreal. She'd thought she'd been caught, but now Professor Vindictus was talking about her glass. The one she had quite obviously not put anything into, seeing as even he should know she wasn't stupid enough to give herself a potion. But he was obviously wanting to check it, and she was willing to let him. Besides, the willingness worked in her favor, with her innocent act. A guilty person wouldn't give themselves up that easily. As he took her glass, she dropped her hand to watch him as he investigated her innocent glass of pumpkin juice. Totally innocent, and she kept up her wide-eyed act as he didn't find anything.

As he suggested Mr. Masterson drink it, her eyes flickered over to the groundskeeper as he obliged Professor Vindictus. Knowing nothing was in her juice since she knew she hadn't put anything in the glass. She'd been drinking it, for Merlin's sake, and that sent her back into wondering if she'd ended up in some bizarre dimension or something. And that feeling heightened as he stared into the glass, then completely started talking craziness. "Um, Mr. Masterson? Are you okay?," she asked, completely staring at him in shock. She totally hadn't put anything in that glass, so either her potion was way better than she'd thought and it could work without someone actually drinking it, or Professor Vindictus was sneakier than she'd've thought her head of house should be. And if it was really the latter, she almost started idolizing him a little.
