"My day was really exciting, met so many people and explored Hogwarts a bit", she smiled.
Yes she had been wandering around but all alone it wasnt that funny.
She had looked like a loner. Eww.
Well a insanly pretty loner.
"But i have to say, even if i like green,the common room should be more pink-ish and its so non glittery. Absolute No-Go."
True. There has to be a spell to make things glitter.
At least her bed in the girls dorm should glitter.
She needed a bit glamour.

Savannah nodded her head, yes exploring was certainly a must do when you first got to Hogwarts, Savannah had done her fair amount exploring. Even if you looked like a werido loner, it still needed to be done. It was how you met people! It was how she first ran into Ai-Ai as well as plenty of other people."Have you found any places you like alot? My favorite the lake I think..."The lake or the common room for sure.GIGGLE.snort. Only a MINI!Sav would say that and complain about there not being much glitter. Hehhhe. She raised these firsties right.

"Well, you can sprinkle it with glitter? That worked last term..."Savvy said, remembering last term for her. Mehhh...last term was kind of awful. She didn't even like thinking about it in all honesty. All that happened last term was her feelings getting hurt, this term was going to be better though. Savannah just knew it!

"Oh i like the lake a lot", Fee said smiling as she rememberd the lion she had met.
"I met someone really nice there and its extremly peaceful."
She met the first guy her age at the lake today. Adam the lion.
Giggle
"Did you do that last term?", she grinned at Mama Savvy," at least i want my bed to glitter. I need that like air."
Yep.Fee couldnt survive without glitter and glamour.
There was hardly anything without glitter in her closet.

Cass nodded absently. "uh-huh. Alright Heather..." Then she noticed all the students heading for their common rooms now, it must be pretty late already, she turned back to Heather and said "I'm going to the dungeons now, good night Heather" then she turned to Kurumi who was beside Heather and bade her goodnight as well. Then she turned around and headed for the dungeons, the sound of her heels echoing through the quiet halls.

"okay! Good night Cass!" she said, watching the girl leave her and kurumi and listening to Cassandra's signature 'heels' sound that seem to always signal heather when Cass is coming or going.

Liz guided Pam right in front of Ravenclaw's hourglass and felt shock rip through her body.

"We're -10?! But term has barely started! How did that happen?"
She compared their hourglass with the other three.
"We're in last place! Not cool! Think we can ask a prefect about how to build them up?" she asked Pam.

"I think there was some sort of food fight thing at the start of term feast. Grrr." She pondered on how they could get points back! They just had to win! "But, I must say, those are some reeeally pretty gemstones." She gazed at them. They were a really pretty blue.

"A food fight? You'd think that if someone were in Ravenclaw then they would be smart enough to know not to get in a food fight. But, that would actually be pretty fun. I've kind of always wanted to be a part of one. My secret ambition." Maybe it would get points taken away, but food fight always looked like fun until you had mashed potatoes in your hair and you had to clean. Hm, maybe no food fights.

Pam drew Liz's attention to what was inside the hourglass. Gemstones. She had some that looked like that.
"I collect rocks. I have some that look like that. Like sapphires, if that's what those are. Did you know that sapphires are the most expensive gem in the world? Just a fun fact. Do you collect anything?"

"You too? I'd would LOVE to be in one." She smiled.

"Really? My favorite gem has got to be amtheyst. Yea, that's the prettiest to me." She pondered for a minute. "I don't really collect anything. Cause if i could I would collect stars." She giggled.

Collecting stars. How... poetic!

GRRBBBLLLEEE...

Until her stomach made a horrific sound, Liz hadn't noticed how hungry she was. She glanced at a clock on the opposite wall. Time for lunch!

"You want to get something to eat?" Liz asked her friend.
Then, without warning, she hugged Pam.
"Spontaneous hug!" she said with a giggle.

"Sure! I'd love-" She was interupted with a hug. She giggled. "Yea, lets go grab some lunch." She grabbed liz's hand and off they went to the great hall.

What the...Three houses that have minus score? What are they competing for the zeron points this year or something?
Louisa stopped dead staring at this Hourglass which indicated the ten points that were taken off of Ravenclaw because of that incident at the feast that she was involved in unfortunately. Not that she caused the loss though.

However thinking about Enya who probably was spending the time in detention now was hurting Louisa. She liked the girl, no not liked but kind of sympathized with her. She had a touchy mood which caused her to act like that. She probably was feeling lonely at the moment. Sigh.

Jenny walked by the hourglasses to see if they're still in the negative. She has heard so much about the two girls who lost 10 points for the house. Imagine her shock when THREE of the houses had negative points; she noticed that Slytherin was the only house that had zero points. Well good for them...

She almost bumped into another girl who was looking at the hourglasses as well. Apologizing to her quickly, Jenny noticed that she was wearing Ravenclaw colors and that she was looking quite depressed. Oh...hm...maybe she needed some cheering up?

Before Jenny could stop herself, she said, "Well, those Slytherins think that they're too good not to join the crowd." She clapped her hands to her mouth. "Sorry, just blabbed out of my mouth. Hehe...I'm Jenny, by the way."

Heh!

It was start of term and ALREADY Slytherin were winning the House Points. It was gonna be last term all over again wasn't it? And so far they had a total of, well 0 house points.

*Smirk*

Well that total was bound to go up wasn't it? The Blonde glanced over at some younger students and raised her eyebrow at what she said. Pfft.... No the truth was that they didn't want to loose. Last term they started off at -150 and STILL won the House Cup so why were they complaining? It wasn't like it was impossible to get back from -10. Like seriously? They just had to work hard to get back that was all.

She rolled her eyes before turning back to glance around at her surroundings.

Ella made her way to the Hourglasses, just to see if good ol' Slytherin had lost any housepoints yet. Hahahaha. They were winning with 0 points. That was hilarious. And she thought that the Snakes were the worst behaved house. Tsk, tsk.

She noticed her cousin, and snuck up behind her.
"BOO!" She squealed, sporting her new blonde locks. Herself and Trixie kind of looked like sisters rather than cousins now. It was scary... But to be honest, she rather liked her hair like this now. It took a lot of getting used to, obviously.

Ahh those house points looked so pretty even though there were none actually in there. Victory was there's, seeing as they couldn't steal the Quidditch cup of off the Hufflepuffs *Growl* Woah, anyway, the Blonde continued to stare straight ahead, her mind wasn't fully with it. The sheer prettiness of winning with only 0 points was overwhelming her. Pfft.....

But it wasn't long before she heard a voice. Of course it made her jump, she wasn't expecting it, but who it came from confused her even more. Give her some credit, she wasn't called an airhead for no reason you know....

"Do you mind not sneaking up behind me random....." Before she could finish her sentence directed at some random blonde that had come up behind her, Trix had a sudden realisation to whom it really was.

"Ella?" No it couldn't be.... Right? Or was it?

*Blink*

Was she TRYING to copy her or something? She was BLONDE. Like REALLY blonde. "Why one EARTH do you look like me?" she asked her eyes widened.

O_________o

Hehehehe. She scared Trixieeee, and she annoyed her. All in one go. Awesome.
Ella waited, chuckling here and there. Haaaaaa, Trixie didn't recognize her! SCORE! Okay, she finally saw that it was her cousin. "Yep, it's me. Do you like the new hair?" She winked. Well, Ella liked itttt!

EH, what?!
"I didn't mean to look like you, why on Earth would I want to do that??!" Ummmm, she realized what she just said. "I mean, no offence or anything..." Now maybe she should tell her the real reason behind this blondness. Even if it was a little very embarrassing. Oh Merlin's Beard.

"It was just a spur of the moment really. I..... I thought Aiden would prefer me if I had blonde hair." She shrugged. Now that she had done it though, she realized how pathetic it was. And oh look! She still didn't have Aiden. Awesome, she had damaged her lovely brunette hair for nothing.

O___________________O

It did not look right. Not one bit. Ella was just, blonde and it wasn't like gradual blonde, you know highlights and all that business, but it was full on blonde like Trixie's. Though hers was natural. She couldn't imagine herself as a Brunette it just wouldn't look right. Plus she wouldn't want to damage her hair like that, she wouldn't be called Blondie anymore either.

She was asking her opinion? Trix wasn't sure at all what she thought of it. "Its erm... Well you certainly look a lot different" she stated. She meant that in the nicest way possible. It didn't look BAD, goodness no, it just didn't look right. Would people even be able to recognise her at all? If she hadn't of known her cousin so well Trix probably wouldn't have been able to recognise her either.

*GASP*

"....Because then you'd look more like MY side of the family" her eyebrow raised. Every single Malfoy had been a shade of blonde. She was only teasing of course, but that comment was slightly mean. "None taken" she stated truthfully, a smirk planted on her face. This was so weird.

*Hand!Forehead*

"Ella tell me, what colour hair do I have?" she started. Well that was obvious enough right? "Has Aiden ever taken an interest in me whatsoever?" The answer to that was was ALSO reasonably obvious. Put two and two together. "Therefore, does he like blondes better?" Err...No.

Mmmkay, it was pretty clear that Trixie did not like the change in hair. Well, it just needed getting used to, Ella certainly didn't like it when she first dyed it. But now, she felt a hell of a lot more confident.

"I know I do. But I like it, so I'm keeping it." She said with a firm nod. Then again, Ella was so unpredictable, she'd probably change her mind eventually. "I mean, I don't look ugly do I?" She asked warily. And as long as she didn't look like a barbie, she'd be happy.

"Eww, I look like a Malfoy."
............. She really didn't mean to say that out loud. Ella looked awkwardly at her cousin, then cleared her throat. "I mean... Yay, I look like a Malfoy." What a rubbish save. She smiled when Trixie didn't take her comment personally, although she'd probably be mad now. After that little jab at her family. Whoops.

Hmm, that did make sense. No matter how much Trixie wanted Aiden to like her at the beginning of last term, nope, it wasn't gonna work. But still, she did feel like she'd have a better chance blonde. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. I was upset and I did it out of stupidity, okay?" She admitted with a sigh. Never in a million years would she see herself as blonde.

"So..... how's things going with your boyfriend?" Because Ella was always talking about herself lately. Maybe Trixie dumped him for the Head Boy.

Pondering silently Louisa got shaken by another body. She jumped and almost gasped, but then this girl was apologizing and saying something. It took her a few seconds to recover and then force a smile, "Yeah, the snakes are on the top now. We need to work really hard to give Ravenclaw a boost." She said quietly looking at the hourglass again.

"I'm Louisa." She said warmly nodding at the girl. She could do with a new student right now, she was not very happy these days. The 11 year old sat on the grass cross legged and looked up at the new girl, "What year are you in Jenny?"

Jenny blinked as she noticed that Louisa jumped after she talked. Uh oh, making people jump while greeting someone...that's not good. Not a good way to start a friendship at all.

"Nice to meet you, Louisa." Jenny replied nervously. Maybe she is already giving a bad first impression to her new friend...hm. "Um..I'm a first year, so I get lost easily sometimes." She smiled as she tried to recount how many times she got lost this year so far. Then she noticed that Louisa was sitting down already. "Um...do you mind if I sit down with you?"

"Sure." Louisa replied quickly, "I'd like to have company rather than being alone." Oh and she's a firstie too! Nice, Louisa could do with someone her age right now.

"How do you find Hogwarts so far?" She asked the obvious question to start a conversation and get to know the girl... and to let go of her sadness. "I like it although I get lost a lot too. I try to write down every place and its location on a paper." She rambles.

Jenny sat down next to Louisa, glad to hear that she doesn't like being lonely too. It stinks to have no one to talk to for a long time, even in such a wonderful place as Hogwarts.

"Hmmm...." Jenny pondered for a bit. "I love the food here! It's not as great as the sushi my father makes at home, but I still get full from eating that much food. And the dormitories are cool since they have nice comfy beds..." She paused again. "Other than that, I haven't explored much of Hogwarts to say whether I really like it or not. Maybe I should also write the places down so that I don't get lost too. Are you a first year as well?"

Louisa nodded, "Yeah, the food's amazing in here. I've never tasted anything like it before. Mom's good but not that good." She smiled and started to play with grass before her, cutting it down. "Yes, I am a firstie too and I'm really looking forward to attend classes. It should be challenging and fun."

Still playing with the grass; her mind brought up images of her family. Her mother and younger brothers. It's the first week and she missed them terribly. How could she spend this year!

She turned her head at Jenny, "Do you miss your family?" She asked her half embarrassed. People thinking that she was a spoiled little girl was not a very pleasant idea. However, she wanted to know what her housemates felt, specially the first year ones.

Jenny noticed that Louisa became depressed when she asked that question. Come to think of it...it does feel odd not having her mother and father nearby. She hasn't even seen her brother in a while.

"Well...yeah, I do miss my family." Jenny nodded sadly. "My mother helped me get accustomed to my magic, so I miss her teaching me how to use magic, even though she's pretty strict. My father works at a sushi restaurant in Muggle London and I usually help him a lot, so I miss that as well. And I have an older brother who works at Gringotts, but he's overseas right now so I haven't heard from him in a while..."

Jenny turned to Louisa. "Is that why you're sad right now? Because you miss you family?" It had to be a pretty valid reason, right? It didn't sound like a conversation topic that just popped out of nowhere.
