Preston wasn't sure where he was or where he was going. But he was okay with that, because he wasn't quite paying attention anyway to either thing. He was too busy looking around at the walls and ceiling of the corridor, realizing that this castle that he was to call school was quite amazing.

He tried remembering exactly every word his father had told him of Hogwarts, but Preston was a bit forgetful as well as clumsy and couldn't remember too much for the time being. Preston stopped for a moment in the middle of the third corridor and looked up to a portrait of a man he had never seen on the wall and cocked his head to the side.

Preston watched as he moved about it's portrait and then into the one beside it to visit it's inhabitant. Preston's mouth fell open to resemble a O.

"W-w-whoah!" Preston exclaimed, he knew that in the wizarding world, the inhabitants of photos moved, but he didn't know they could move from portrait to portrait like this man was doing. "Th-th-this is a-a-awe-awesome!" Preston smiled as he watched the portraits some more.

Sapphinelle wandered the corridors, looking around, and found a fellow firstie!
"Err... Hello!" she said with a cute giggle.
"You okay there?" she asked sweetly, stepping into the candlelight.

Adam was wandering the school after his nice nap. He managed to see some very familiar friends. Yes. A chance to talk freely to them, with no Katie following them around. He came out behind a statue and announced himself."Why, hello there, my young and beautiful girl, friends..."He added. He smiled and put his arms wide open for a big bear hug.

"ME?!" she dramatically and jokingly said with a gasp. "Why, thank you." she said, fluffing up her hair with a giggle. She gave up to him and gave him a biggg hug, lifting her feet off the ground. She was really light, hehe. "What are you doing here?" she asked with a hand on her hip and glancing back to the boy that she just addressed.

"Exploring the school like any other first year would do."He answered. Adam was surprised at how light Sapph weighed."how much do you weigh, 90 pounds or something?"He teased her. Awww, hugging, hugging was god. He felt like Kurumi hugging all these people."What are you doing, may I ask?"

Preston continued to stare up at the portraits for a while longer until footsteps and a voice brought him back to where he was. Hogwarts. The almighty school he had been hearing about for years from his father and Auntie LoLo. He turned to the voice and smiled at the girl.

Preston hadn't found a real first year friend quite yet, but then again, he didn't have many friends and his hopes weren't really up or down. He was okay with not having friends, but Hogwarts was different.

A good different.

"Hi!" Preston exclaimed waving at her a few feet away. "Y-y-yes." Preston said answering her question. "I-I-I've n-n-never seen p-p-people m-m-move fr-from one ph-photo to-to another b-b-before." Preston told her as he turned back to the portraits he had been watching.

She smiled at him warmly and laughed. He was...pretty cute from this angle. What was she thinking? He had dibs on Kurumi. "Maybeee." she said with a giggle. "Er....the truth? Sneaking around." she said with another smile. "You're in a flirty mood." she teased him. "Just kiddingggg!"




Awhhh, he was shy! "Awhh! You're cute. Yeah, it's new to me too. I'm a muggle-born." she said with pride, smiling warmly at him. "I'm Sapphinelle Della, by the way. I'm guessing your a Huffie like me, you're really nice." she said with a giggle.

"Flirty. Not really, but if you think so you can thank You KNow who- no that that evil dude that Ha-HArry Potter killed, right? Kurumi...I'm just being nice to you. What's wrong with calling a friend beautiful , it boost their esteem, you know.NOt that you already are popular....Sneaking around, doesn't sound like you, or is it?"He asked, tipping on his toes.

She raised her eyebrows at him.
"I never said anything about Kurumi.. but, there's nothing wrong with it. Sneaking around is a LOT like me. You just haven't seen that side of me yet." she added with a little wink and giggled.

"That's what I was gonna say. You stole my tongue before I could speak."He teased her. He montioned for them to start walking. Walking and talking seemed more fun.\"No, I just mean, Kurumi and I talked and she made me feel happy again. I think you're right."He added patting her head."Sneaking around is my thing too."

She laughed at Adam, ahh, good old Adam. She felt like she's known him forever. She scrunched her nose when he patted her head. "I'm gonna miss not seeing you around as much." she said with a slight frown and walked with him in the corridor. She felt a twinge of guilt in her stomach. She liked Adam.... a tiiiiiiiiny bit. But Kurumi...God, Sapphie had to control herself.

She kept having ridiculous expectations of boys, but she just wanted someone to like her. Hell, even KATIE had a boyfriend. Her boyfriend didn't like her but, she still had one. Sighh. She gave him a forced smile. "Good. Then this night wouldn't be fun." she said happily, grabbing his hand and pulling him deeper into the corridor. She let go of his hand to not make it awkward, and walked along with him.

URGH! Kody could not BELIEVE her. Seriously? First Savannah went and SNOGGED her COUSIN. The gross one at that, and NOW because Beck was Savannah's ex he was strictly OFF limits? Yeah, this didn't fly for her. Not.At.All. If Kody wanted to flirt with Beck she WOULD.

Butt, that didn't change the fact it hurt that Cody was picked over her. Hmph, well whatEVER. Savannah could go be best friends with HIM for all SHE cared.

Adam's heart jumped a beat. She had grabbed his hand, then let go. No. She couldn't be going there. He knew he was being extra nice to her, but he already had Katie and Kurumi to think about. His mouth twitched nervously.He looked at her, did she seem to be blushing in the moonlight, or was that his mind or light playing tricks on him?

Uh-ohhhh. What had she done? She could have sworn she had DON'T FLIRT WITH ME stuck on her forehead. "Errr... you okay, Adam?" she asked, even though she already knew the answer. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Oh great, Kodes was here. She loved her big sister, but she didn't want her to see Sapphie making a huge fool out of herself, she was usually never like this. EVER.

"Something wrong? No. Something wrong with you? You look worried, what's going on?"He asked in a concerned voice. It seemed her personality changed at the tack of speed. Adam tried to read her mind, but girls brains were just crazy now a days. He sighed for a long time, hoping she would respond to him.

She laughed a little and put her hands on her shoulders.
"Calm downnnn." she said and removed her hands. "I'm fine, Adam. It's just me, Sapphinelle. Boringggggg Sapphinelle." she said with a giggle while she walked along with him. "Where are you from, Adam?" she asked casually and continued to walk as she shuffled along in her casual, un-Huffielike outfit.

HOGWARTS! Gah. It felt so good to finally be back. Any other ordinary day, Aiden would walk down the third floor corridor and not even think twice about it. But, aha. Not today. Today he had to take note, savor the castle that he'd be staying in for only one more academic year! The Gryffindor was passing through at a casual pace for there was no rush. But, he slowed when he noticed someone - a very irritated-looking someone. "Nekoda, hey.." He continued until he reached her. "Something wrong?"

"I'm from Oxfordshire, england."He simply answered. Thinking about it now, as much as he loved the city, he disliked the people living within it. Really his parents, they had not cared to help him out at Diagon Alley or take him to the Train Station earlier that day. What a bunch of unhappy people. "I like the city, but not the people living in it." He added, knowing she would ask why he was in such deep thought.

Looking up when she heard a familiar voice, Kody looked up into a familiar face. Aiden. Thank merlin, honestly he was like, the only person she could talk to when Nevannah was having their issues. It just made Oreocakes sad, and Xio tried to manipulate. Grrr. Demon!Child.

Kody rolled her eyes. She was on the verge of a sarcastic biting remark, but stopped herself. This was AIDEN and he was trying to be NICE. "Yes. Your ex is driving me INSANE."

Not that she wasn't already.

She nodded at him, glad that the stupid awkardness was long gone.
"I'm from France, but I'm guessing you already knew that." she said with a laugh, her accent lolling off her tongue.

Phew, all that awkwardness left the room."Yes, I knew you were from frnace. Could you tell I was from England...? Was it my accent?"He asked her. Good friends, he wanted to keep that with Sapph. She seemed to ease up a little.

She smiled at him.
"Yeah, it's cute." she said with a little laugh. "Hmm, where should we go?" she asked with a sinister smile creeping on her face.

Aiden caught the infamous eye roll and was expecting a nice little taste of Nekoda sarcasm, but he was quite surprised that he received none. Heh. Improvement, improvement. Although he knew very well the next time he saw her, she'd probably make up for it.

Savannah.. driving her insane? Nooo, she would never. Pfffft. "Oh, believe me," he shook his head and exhaled. "I know the feeling." He leaned back against the wall and slid on down to the floor. "I'm guessing it's 'cause she hooked up with your cousin?"

Kody noticed his loook and glared slightly, it was like he always expected her to be meannn! *pout* Ella must have been rubbing off on him. Hmph. She really needed to break them up to fix that little issue. But now that was NOT the issue at hand.

Shooting him a sympathetic look, Kody nearly giggled, nodding her head. "Sorry. I know I can be a little much at times as well..." But it was different, 'cause she and Aiden had never like, dated. Still, she felt the need to apologize for the annoying things she HAD done. "Not just that, apparently I'm not allowed to even flirt with guys who were a casual fling." And she kinda liked the guy too. Not Orlando like, but still.

"Well and it still feels like I'm being replaced."
