"Of course! I know Slytherin is the best. Not that I want to offend others..." Elle pursed her lips, hoping that no one else heard what she just said.

Elle took Tay's hands in hers. "Ooh Tay! I'm so jealous of you! You have a guy. It's seems sooo romantic and perfect." She giggled with Taylor. Elle loved romance, but it seemed like it wasn't her time yet.


"Hm... well it's just the way I like it. Though it's quite old, I feel cozy and warm. The whole school, though I've never really seen the entire thing, is very majestic. My family told me many stories about Hogwarts when I was young and I really loved the descriptions." She nodded, recalling all those memories that her parents turned into story-telling adventures just to suit her age.

Elle was greeted with a merry wave from Fee. "FEE! I MADE IT! SLYTHERIN!" All those words tumbled as Elle showed how ecstatic she was.

"Sorry, too excited." She breathed deeply and said, "I have to keep my composure, but, oh my gosh, it's Slytherin!" She giggled. "Thanks, Fee." Elle smiled cutely.

Elle noticed a girl come by the Slytherin table. She looked pretty different, the aura not the same as hers. She was curious as to why she took a seat there, knowing very well it was for the students housed at the House of Snakes. "Hm..." She said to herself.

Elle slitted her eyes and walked over to her. Gently tapping the girl's shoulder, she whispered, "Why are you here? My other housemates might get angry with you. Which might result into a fight. Plus, Lafay might punish you. I don't want to see that happen to someone innocent. I'm just saving you from embarrassment." She hissed.

Elle wasn't a mean type. She was just cautious and didn't want anything bad to happen to this random girl. No ill intentions in her mind, she continued, "I wish no harm nor fights with you. We may talk outside of this table." She gave the girl a cute smile and nodded.

While Elle was chatting with some other people, she noticed her friend.

"Maisie!" She called out to her. "Over here!" She smiled widely. "I'm your new Co-Slytherin, ma'am. At your service!" She saluted and joked.

While Elle was chatting with some other people, she noticed someone looking for a friend to talk to. Ever since she was young, she could sense what people wanted or felt. Feeling pity for her loneliness, she walked over to the girl and befriended her.

"Hey. Elizabeth Woods. Everybody calls me Elle." She smiled cutely and took her hand out. "You must be... a Third, Fourth or Fifth Year.. Am I right?" She hoped she guessed right. Oh, how awful it would be if she were wrong!

Tay laughed- "Of course it's thebest! No competition there!" she giggled, smiling at Elle- "Aww, Elle- you don't need to be jealous- you'll find a guy soon enough- you're super pretty, so why not?!" she told her honestly- "And yeah, it really is perfect!" she said dreamily- "And of course you shall be invited to the wedding... even though it won't be for a few years.." she laughed, passing Elle a drink and smiling.

"So, which lesson are you most looking forward to?" she asked her with another big grin, pushing back her curls.

Evan bit his lips to think for a minute. His parents did agree to go to France, no? If not, he'd just make them go by whatever it took to convince them, because he WAS going to see Mina. So, giving Fallon a slight head shake, he said "I don't think I'll be here in the holidays... I guess we'll go to France." He didn't guess, he knew, but he didn't want many people to know that. Superstition, or not, he had always believed that the more people knew of your dreams, the less chance it had to become true.

Aww, Fallon was truly blushing now. And that confirmed his suspicions: she was fond of Finn. Maybe very much. He couldn't help but grin at that like little primary school children who got silly when they learnt their friend liked someone. His was only a guess, but apparently he did guess precisely right. Hehe.

"Alright..." he said acceptingly. Whenever she felt ready, and whenever Finn wasn't around, obviously.

Ah, Evan knew he shouldn't have added that especially part. And of course, Sierra wasn't fooled with 'objects' correction. Though, he paused before speaking any further. She might as well have fallen for the 'objects'... Better to play safe and stick with that. Nodding slightly, he said "You know, feathers as a starter, and the things get more complicated as you grow up and advance in magic." He watched her to see her reaction. What he said did made sense and was true, though. And it was interesting to see the changes on an object... Maybe.

"Fear not!" he exclaimed maybe too enthusiastically. "Two years ago for example, we played football, and that's not hard at all!" Nooo, it was the most fun thing to do on earth. Even better than magic. "Or we cooked in one class." That had been a fairly nice one as well, using all the utensils. "I guess it depends on you though, and wheat you enjoy." Being a pure-blooded witch, she might find it too boring not to use any magic. He shrugged. It was one of his favourite classes, and he enjoyed it very much.

Evan's eyes grew with every overwhelming feelings that was negative as Benjamin rolled his sleeves to show him what was done to his body, exactly. That was... disgusting! No, horrible. Terrible! Scary! Creepy! He didn't care what the man's reasonings had been, what he did looked like dark magic to the blondie, and he hadn't seen such a bad thing in his life. And he had seen many things, especially in Muggle World in summers. That meant something, and now he wasn't quite sure how to react to that. It only suprised and perplexed him even further that Benjamin, an eleven year old kid, could be so casual about it. Thank God a million times he didn't have a dark family or something... Judging his family or not, Evan didn't like them, and pitied the boy for having such a cruel father.

It again took him a few minutes before he could talk, and even then his voice was a little broken but firm and serious. "They look like dark magic to me," he said in a completely serious and worried manner. "I'm not telling your... father--" it was weird to call that man still his 'father' "--is a dark wizard, I'm saying my observation." Nooo, who was he to accuse someone with such a great thing? "But still, I think you should show it to a professor. Both our DADA professor--who happens to be our great Headmaster--and our Runes professor--" talking of whom, he couldn't see the woman anywhere! Maybe she was only late? Hopefully she was only late and would show up soon "--are experts in their field. And I suggest you ask them the meanings immediately, because we don't know what they are." He paused for a moment with worry, and added as an after-thought "And I'm sure they can disappear it."

Dear God! It was the creepiest thing he'd ever seen on a human body, and this list included an open-broken bone injury! "How many people have seen this?" he asked as his eyes travelled to the Staff Table again to see if professor Di had shown up. She should decipher these... as soon as possible!

Evan pleasantly smiled at the girl. He could tell she was pretty nervous. No need to be nervous, really, no one was going to eat anyone. Or, most of the people wouldn't. Hehe. There was still that little part that was undefined, and could do anything.

Aww, did he just make her even more nervous by greeting her? He hoped not! Just as he was trying to figure out some nice topics to talk and put her at ease, she talked and made him laugh out loud for a while.

"No no no, those are bullies," he said as he wiped a tear that fell from his eyes. "We're there to help you. But of course, I wouldn't mind some help," he said with a wink. Though, now to think about it... he could use his new authority to, say, get some small works of his done, no? Like, asking a firstie to re-write his ten-feet long essays? Yeeeah... how come he'd never thought of that before! But now, he would definitely do that. Because he was a prefect, and he could.



Seeing another frightened nervous-looking girl, Evan waved at her and smiled. She was a new person too, he guessed, by the way she looked around and stuff. There were SO many new people this term! Weird...

Ah, finally! Finally, Aaron Anderson had made his entrance. Evan rolled his eyes. The boy just had to pull a show off, didn't he? Really... Leaving Trixie for a moment, he made his way to him, just right in time to hear--

"You're Quidditch Captain?!"

What? What?! His mouth dropped open a bit as he flashbacked to the Prefects' Compartment... he didn't remember him mentioning such a thing! Were they allowed to use their--PREFECTS'--compartment anyway? He didn't have anything against that, but he had MANY things against Aaron. Shaking his head slightly, he directly came to his point: "Are first years allowed to try-out?"

He didn't even congratulate the boy. Because they were obviously going to fail in the sport this year with his guidance, and he'd get his congratulations then.

Evan clapped at the newly sorted girl, having forgotten long ago how many they had been so far. But he was positive there were many, many new students, and he would never remember them all. Waving at the girl with a smile, he hoped none of them would be upset or anything if he forgot their names... which he was surely going to do. There were just too many of them to remember!

Evan smiled at Elizabeth as she described her feelings about the school. He nodded. “We’re a really big family,” he said as an explanation to that cosy feeling. “I guess it’s even in the air.” Wow, did he really talk like that? He laughed at himself. He was really getting the hang of this ‘boasting school’ duty of prefectness. Hehe. Good though, literary speech always worked on newbies.

“I guess all of us was brought up with Hogwarts stories except Muggleborns,” he said with a nod. He had known many places of the castle too before he came, and of course, very few came out to be as he had imagined. Still, he loved it. It was a house of many people.

Looking at the young girl she smiled "hey, yh im a fourth year" she said "'m name Lilly-anne Almus." she said introducing herself and taking the girls had and shaking it. "are you a first year i was quite sure i saw ya getting sorted" she said with a smile

"who ya lookin for buddy?" she asked with a smile as she took a bite of the macaroni now on her plate.yum! it was so good, she hadn't eaten since this morning.

Fallon watched as Evan bit his lip. It was kind of unlike him. That was totally her thing. Fallon nodded her head. France was fun. "Sounds like fun. I've never been there so you'll have to tell me all about it." It was nice to hear travel stories sometimes.

Fallon didn't like the fact that Evan knew what was going on with her. It just showed how easily he could read her, which meant she might not be able to keep secrets from him. She nodded her head. "After the feast we can talk." And he would have to put up with Iris because she was going to tell them both to make life easier on herself.

She smirked at the boy. "I look forward to seeing you in class."

What was the commotion. "Flor-" MERLIN'S LAST NAME BE HANGED! "I mean, Shepard! What is going on?" She looked to the boy she was talking to. Then turned back to Evelyn. "Well?"

Alex turned to his other side and smiled at a girl who just joined them. "Not at all go right ahead." he said, she looked about his age. Wonder what year she was in...

"I'm Alex." he said extending his hand towards the girl.

Damian noticed someone growling behing her back as she was talking to Simon. Damian turned around. As she turned around, her face expression changed from wondering to surprised.
"Willow! Is everything okey? Are you sick?" Damian worried, then leaned a little bit closer to the girl and whispered. "Is someone after you?

Evan knew this was the answer he was more likely to get. Of course, he could understand why Benjamin wanted to keep it as a secret, it was still his father after all. What would he do? He had no idea... for these kind of things to guess what you'd do, you just have to live it. And Evan was quite grateful he'd never have to live such a thing, because his father knew the limits of magic.

The prefect sighed, unsure what to say. Apparently the kid wasn't infected with some sort of disease... but dark magic was dark for that, wasn't it? It poisoned your body for a while before it hit it's last blow... He ran a hand through his hair as Benjamin went on. He could see why he didn't want his father to be taken away now, and he gave a short nod. "Look," he said, trying to calm him down; though it wasn't clear if he was more trying to calm down himself. "If you don't want that, fine, I won't spread your secret to the world." He bit his lips, unsure how to go on. Because he had to convince the boy that it was safe to tell the professors, that they were understanding enough. "But this is magic. And you normally can't play with it, or experiment it on others." He opened his mouth to give the example of Dark Lord, but then decided against it. It would only frighten Benjamin more, the prefect concluded. Taking a deep breath again, he said "Please, Benjamin. Ask it at least hypothetically, will you?" If Evan Cartwright was nearly begging someone and using 'please', it meant he was worried. Extremely.

Phew, he actually let out a breath. Not many people knew it. Yet. "Well, I suggest you keep that number down," he said wisely. He didn't want any stupid fear wave in the house, not in his first experience of prefecting. Then, as he looked at the staff table again, his eyes found Lafay get up and make her way up to their table. Yes! Hopefully Benjamin would agree to tell her.

Openly pointing the woman with his finger, he said "That's Professor Hecate Lafay, our head of house." He was well aware that he'd done this introduction before, but no harm in reminding him again that she was primarily responsible for them.

"You can tell her anything you want. She's a good listener and a secret-keeper, even if she isn't the type you can get too close with."

Effective enough? Would he talk to her now? He hoped so. Because then, he didn't know what to do.

Evan smiled at Fallon in agreement. "Of course I'll tell you," he said with a nod. He would be with Mina more, but still, they would get to visit Paris, no? Hopefully. Actually, he was pretty excited with the idea of France too, having heard its beauty a million times and such. Yeah, definitely worth a visit, and being with Mina would be the icing on the cake.

The prefect gave a short nod at that. After the feast, he would get to know what he'd totally guessed by chance... hehe. He still find it kind of amusing though, that Fallon had a crush on Finn, and that she'd tried to keep it away from him.

Damian shook his hand-of-an-agreement-deal. She was more than happy to find at least someone without hippie signs all over the cape and a pink purse next to a cauldron. May this be a start of a good friendship?

Willow's face lit up as she realised Damien was talking to her. "No, no, I'm fine. Guess what? I'm in Ravenclaw! Like my gran's family!"

"Hey Amy"i came over to eat with you guys.my brother Jacon misses you a lot.joey made her plate,i can't wait to show the beach at my brother hose next summer.

"Oh really?" Meredith thought about it. "True, i can imagine that." Meredith said. The more she thought about it she came to the conclusion that maybe she didnt miss out on so much. Besides, she would probably want to be doing the challenges so bad that she would go crazy just watching! "But was the yule ball fun though?" Meredith asked. Meredith giggled. Katie was so nice. "Hahaha, cool. I actaully tend to get REALLY hyper at night!"

Meredith smiled. "Nice to meet you too Georgiana!" Meredith exclaimed. "Oh its okay, i'm new here too! Dont worry! You will make friends in no time!" Meredith said with a smile. " I am doing good! At first i was a tad bummed to be in Slytherin, but i am so over that now!" Meredith said with a slight giggle. "But i am just soo excited to be here!"

Trixie nodded but sort of grinned, slightly evilly. "Oh they WILL be a good lot of students if the Head Girl has anything to do with it" she giggled. But MOST, yes there were a few exceptions here and there, that she had met so far seemed to be very well behaved. "I'll.. "encourage" them to do their best" the slightly evil grin was still planted on her face. "And.. Well we have a lot of the highest earners in this house anyway. I'm certainly going to try as hard as I did last term" she stated.

"Thanks" her eyes drifted down to her bangle once again. Why did he have to make her such a pretty gift? *Pout*

The Blonde couldn't help but laugh at her plans. Break in and permanently stick it? That would be just brilliant. "Well good luck with that one then" she smirked at the idea. "But if you really DID do it.. Your a genius" she giggled a little before returning to the other conversations she was making.

Queen Bee?

*Blink*

What on EARTH was this boy going on about? She wasn't queen bee she was HEAD GIRL. That was two totally different things. "I'm sorry am I missing something?" she asked with an eyebrow raised. "You don't know what the Head Girl is" she asked. "Basically I'm the Head of the students.. Head GIRL of the students. You know what a prefect is yeah? Well we're here to keep everyone in line, help out the Professors almost" she directed him to her badge. "And, I head the prefects, along with the Head Boy" she moved her head in the direction of the Ravenclaw table.

"Its good to meet you Nathan" well finally he had given her his name, took his time then. Blah Blah. More polite replies. "Err.. No. Just call me Trixie" she raised an eyebrow. Unless he wanted to. "Or HeadGirlMC..." she suggested, although that name was kinda special to her.

The feasts here looked amazing, but it was hard when one was Vegan, like Trixie was. "Well I'm pretty certain your stomach.." she eyed it again "..will appreciate the spread that will come out shortly" she giggled. Which Professor should he look out for? BAHA. That was a brilliant question. "Well...Our Head of House" she lowered her voice slightly. "She's a brilliant Professors there's no doubt about that, but erm.. she's been known to set students alight before" and not forgetting them ALL going bald one lesson, and fat another. "Not to alarm you of course" she added as an extra side note. Oh jeez, she hadn't scared him had she?

And as if just on cue, there was Professor Lafay right there. "Hello Professor" the Head Girl smiled over, trying to be polite as possible, because, well she had no Oliver to hide behind this term did she? "Great to see you as our Head of House again" Maybe. She did miss Truebridge as their Head Of House. But... trying to be friendly.

Did she have permission to shout at this boy because he was REALLY getting on her nerves. Trixie swerved on her heels to GLARE at him again, glad to see that Professor Lafay had already spoken to him. "Are you.. MOCKING me?" she asked, disgusted stepping forward to size him up. But the Blonde would keep her cool, because she wasn't one to loose her temper that easily.. apart from in Muggle Studies, but that was a different matter.

"Well I'm always one to help out if you need it at all. And its a pleasure to meet you, but did I catch your name?" she asked, shaking her hand back. "Ah. I haven't met him yet, seems he was a little distracted to enter the Prefects compartment, but I'll make sure I meet him very soon" she glanced at the Ravvie table and then back to the young girl.

*Smiiiiirk*

She was still amused by the fact Evan had ACTUALLY listened to her and come on over. Is that what the badge did then? People would understand her authority? AWESOME! "Good. Its a little stressful for one person to talk to EVERYONE you know" she scanned around the great hall before turning back to talk a little longer.

Oh.. Shizz. "No I really shouldn't have mentioned anything" she gave him a wibbly smile to try and reasure him that nothing was wrong, but it was kinda useless. "I just miss.. people.. a lot" she sighed. The one person who she cared the most about in the world Apart from her family "I just think I'm gonna find it difficult without.. him" she gulped a little. stupid curly haired prat for making her fall in love with him.

"Well there you go then" she smiled softly. "Its planned, another giant game of Hide and Seek out in the school grounds" she nodded once firmly to show that there was no backing up on that. Though, a lot of the previous people who had played had left now *Pout*

The girl couldn't help but laugh at Fallons statement. It was as if vegans were another species or something, they weren't THAT much different from a vegetarian to be honest. "Well, now you have haven't you?" she winked. There's one to tell the kids. BAHA. "Shopping sounds GREAT and yeah I can imagine that" the blonde giggled.

And it wasn't it just GREAT that Truebridge was back? She noticed that he had turned his attention to her and the seventeen year old grinned back at him.

"Well its great to see you back Professor" Trixie turned her full attention to him. Professor Bunbury? Well she had no idea who she was so nodding along as if she seemed like she understood sounded like the best bet.

Runes? *Flail* Oh she LIKED Runes and it was one that she was planning on taking at NEWT level. EXCELLENT! "I'm looking forward to your lessons then sir" and she meant that!

She HAD met a stereotypical Slytherin. Trixie was sure she had never met one, until today that was..."Really? Do you remember who that was?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "So then I can keep an eye out for them.." she winked with her right eye, she didn't want any troublemakers around here.

N'aaaaaaww. She appreciated the fact that Trixie had taken time out to talk to her. She liked this kid a lot. "If you ever need any help, if anyones bothering you or you have a question, be sure to come talk to me yeah? I'm perfectly willing to help out someone as sweet as you are" she smiled softly at her. "It was a pleasure to meet you, and its really no problem" she nodded once at her.

Yet more new student walked into the Great Hall and Trix made sure to go acknowledge them both. "Hello. Welcome to Slytherin. I'm Trixie, your Head Girl. If you have any questions, be sure to come to me, or one of my fellow prefects" she smiled in the direction of the girls.

Was he looking at her and her fellow prefects?

The Slytherin blinked a few times before raising her eyebrow at him. He looked familiar, must have shared classes with her a few times or something. "Are you going to talk to us or are you okay stood there?" she asked, smirking a little. It wasn't like she needed to introduce herself, he wasn't new, but then again did he know her by name at all? "And I'm Trixie if you wanted to know" she turned her attention back to Iris and Fallon again.

"They all would've been proud of you..."
Damian took out a piece of paper that she had already prepared for Willow. It was a folded parchment with snakes in the corners and silvered words on it - Meet me tomorrow. Hide behind the statue of Slytherin common room entrance." Damian slit it in Willow's hands fast enough so that no one else could notice. She just arrived but had enough eyes on her already. "Read this only when you're at your table."

Willow said nothing but gave a descrete nod and went to the Ravenclaw table.

Fallon grinned. "Great." She couldn't wait to here all about France. She wondered if it was as amazing as travel books made it sound. Now that subject was gone, what did they talk about.

Fallon was kind of glad that Evan had dropped the Finn subject for now. She smiled and turned back to Iris, Trixie, Aaron, & Satine.

Fallon giggled. "Yay!" She couldn't wait to play hide-n-seek again. It was kind of sad that most of the people that had played before were gone. Oh well. They'd find more. Lots more.

Fallon felt kind of rude for the way she'd blurted that out. It didn't seem like a nice thing to say. She was glad that Trixie took it all right. "Guess so." She couldn't help but laugh a little. "Yeah...it was kind of fun to drag him to all of those stores though."

Brittany Looked up to see a girl apparently telling her off but she was so taken a back that it didnt register for quite a minute. Never had she meet a slytherin so much like the qualities they look for... well except for evan but that was probably just because he was born like that hehe. She then gathered her composure and began to think this girl was rather amusing. with a slight smile on her lips and an eyebrow raised she waited till the girl finished her rant before she continued.

*smile* "well Its nice to meet you too" *sarcasm* "Its obvious that you're a first year, Am I Right?" she said in the sweetest voice that she could muster. There was no need to be rude like the girl. What she said to her didnt matter so she wasnt at all upset. "If you look around the hall you may notice that i am not the only one at a different house table and You in fact are the only one bothered that i am here." she said flashing another dazzling smile towards the girl "One of my Best Friends is actually part of this house and im sure she doesnt mind if i came over here to chat. So if you dont mind..." which she didnt care if she did or not. "Im rather fine sitting exactly where i at." she said ending with more of a sneer than a smile. Hufflepuff smufflepuff. She didnt take lip from anyone. Ahhh these firsties will learn soon enough

"Woohooo got a new nickname",Fee danced on her seat.Okay,that probably looked totally freaky but a nickname was deffo something she had to dance about.The blonde loved nicknames."I am soo good at saving lifes." What?It was true and now imagine how many lifes would be saved by the end of term.Hehe. And then the girl started to laugh only more."I like many things",she tried to gain her breath,"but dont worry i just found it funny."

Oh make it a competition? Sounded pretty good.Hah, she would sooo win that thing."I am in",the Slytherin smiled holding her hand out for him to shake,"dont understeminate me because i am totally cute."It was really an advantage that no one expected her to get done with 200 chocolate frogs.Hah Fee would be the winner.Hehe.

When Simon started to complain about the unfairness, the girl chuckle.Strike hehe."Dont use that puppy eyes on me",she shook her head.Secretly the Slytherin was a sucker for puppy eyes, but better not tell anyone."Maybe you get the chance to win later",Fee stuck her tongue out chuckling.Yes, teasing Simon was defintely fun.




"I knooow",Fee chuckled,"and not only my Slytherin mind. I am just an amazing person."Amazing and sometimes silly, good combination right?!Not to forget the glitter-ness.But in fact they would totally protect the firsties from mean older students,now they were just blabbering."Once i can i have to say we are fully obnoxious",the blonde laughed shaking her head a little.

The Slytherin nodded.If she was the firstie screamer, she would hide too.For all her life.Of course he had deserved it and Fee would never do such a thing but she would be scared to death. "Well its all his fault",she nodded,"not that we overreacted."He screamed at Fee and he really could have had their cake, so no one could really blame them.

The blonde giggled and nodded a little.Really no one should listen to their conversation right now."I knooow and i told you, you would be the overly popular kid."And she had been right, seeing all the girls that surrounded her best friend.Hehe."You know there is no way you can get rid of me now",she chuckled.Of course she liked the fact that Alex made friends quickly but when they were alone it was just different,hopefully they would find some time for bestie talk soon.

Fee approached the girl smiling.Seemed she had gotten into trouble on her first day.Mabe Fee could help her out with that later.These little firsties were just too adorable and the blonde loved getting to know them.she had been just as excited as they were now,even though she felt a lot more grown up now,seeing she would turn 13 soon."You're welcome",the girl said,"i am sure you will have a great time at Hogwarts."It was just the best place to find friends and spend your time at.

And then the girl complimented her hair.Oh my glitter.A COMPLIMENT!!"Thank you",the Slytherin smiled widely,"but i dont think you hair looks boring or dull.It has a really nice colour."
Fee loved her long,wavy blonde hair really much.She would never die it another colour.But there were also people that looked nice with dark hair,like this girl here.Still it was really,really cute what Emmy had said.


He wanted to save some space for the feast?This guy really surprised her.whilst Simon had eaten the piece within a second,Elliot could control the hungry feeling."You are the first boy that doenst complain about being hungry",she laughed,"i am impressed."She really was.Mhhh how many students had gotten into Slytherin?!Looking around she couldnt see too many new faces, but on the other hand this table was huuuge."I heard Gryffindor got the most this year",the blonde explained to her friend,"buuuuut we have the best ones of course."Now way to would give the house cup to another house.Hehe.


Fee giggled when she noticed how excited Elle was.,How cute."Common room times here we come",she smiled.
Ah new member for they're amazing parties.Oh this term was going to be sooo fun, Fee could literally feel it."Its amazing you are with us now"the girl smiled widely.They could spend heaps of time together now.

Jamie shrugged. "It's okay. Sometimes it's good to be carried away from reality for little while. Just as long as you return." Yep, it happened to her all the time. Slipping off into her on little safe world.

She looked up at the castle ceiling and sighed. "What do I see? I see my dreams, hopes, and wishes. Like before I got on the train I was wishing and hoping that I'd be able to make friends and fit in here. Well they heard me even in the day time sky and I've made enough friends for the rest of forever." What she didn't say was that she had found one of her best friends in him. He was sweet and kind. Kept her talking and made her laugh. In all honesty he was her first actual, hopefully long lasting, friend. She continued to stare at the ceiling and then looked back at him. "So are you going to try out for the Quidditch team?"

"Aww... I'd love to go to America." Iris nodded in understanding. "Well, once you've gotten past that boring stage... it all gets great. I promise you that." How she could promise such a thing without any experience... she didn't really know. Iris sounded confident enough, though.

She smiled, "Yeah, it is. If you ever need help with anything, just come find me." Because, y'know.. that was Iris' job. To be helpful and such.

OOC=Lets just pretend this is before Aaron turned up. XD

Iris giggled at Fallon, then looked at her with a very serious look. "Of course they are....n't." Hehe... They could be though. "I can't wait 'til later, then." Iris said, happily whilst tapping her fingers against the table.

She sighed, and smiled back. Those kind of caring smiles didn't really help Iris. They made her feel like the person smiling was pitying her. "Yeah... I guess you're right."

Iris sat and listened to Aaron and Satine talk, giggling at the fact that Aaron seemed outraged at how Satine didn't laugh at his misfortune. As he asked a pretty good question, Iris looked up. "Maybe they keep it in ... Um ... Actually, you're right. Where do they keep the Express?" How had none of them thought of that question before? Surely it didn't just get left somewhere all year.

As Aaron went on to explain that the kid had ran off, Iris shrugged and smiled at him. "I'm sure you'll bump into her again some point."

Iris looked down at their hands, with a teensy smile on her face. It was so weird to think that it's nearly four years since that day down in the Pumpkin Patch. Where had all of that time gone, really?

When Aaron spoke to Zoey, Iris realised that she'd not introduced Zoey to anyone. Gah!

"Whatever, I don't believe you. You're definitely laughing at SOMETHING." Iris laughed and shook her head.... There really wasn't anything that hilarious about her and Aaron, but Zoey apparently thought so. Laughing was good for you, anyway.

Iris looked at Zoey and rolled her eyes. "Honestly... When you've finished your giggling.... This is Aaron. Aaron, this is Zoey. She's new."

Woohoo! Introductions done.

Iris blinked a couple of times, then laughed at Trixie's reply. "Oh... I don't doubt that for a minute..." Trixie's evil grin was actually very scary. "Can I help you with that encouragement?" Iris asked, jokingly. (Or was she? ... hehe.) Nodding in agreement, Iris grinned. "Yeah. We're pretty lucky with that... Imagine if all of those high earners were Gryffindors? Slytherin... would be doomed." DON'T SAY THAT IRIS! They wouldn't be!

Watching Trixie as she looked at her bracelet, Iris simply smiled, and let her attention wander elsewhere. Like the ceiling... Pretty, magical ceiling.

"Trust me, I will do it." Iris nodded, seriously. She wasn't sure how she'd do it.... but Iris Beaumont would do that.

Alex spotted Lilly-anne that he'd met at the Ravenclaw table and went up to her smiling. Now she was the one who weren't at her table so he should be the one to be polite this time. Yup, that was how it worked and besides he didn't mind at all.

"Hey Lilly-anne." he grinned. "Came to visit me?" he joked.

"Girl?!" Alex almost jumped up on the table and cheered. But he didn't because one; the Potions professor aka his Head of House were watching the Slytherin table, two; he would look riddicoulos and three; there were just a lot of food in the way... "We both made Slytherin, yes yes yes!" he laughed giving her a warm big hug.

"I'm so proud of you Lil' Redbird." he chuckled and ruffled her hair. Because that was his trademark *whistle*

"That you are." Alex chuckled, why deny it. Fee was amazing and they both knew it. Perhaps one of the reasons she was his best friend. They just fit together really well, heh yeah. "Obnoxious? Us? You thiiink?" he laughed. Oh they were so obnoxious, a quality he hated on others but on he loved that they were. Who cared really? He was with his best friend and he was loving it.

He smirked over at the young blonde with a wink. "Oh yeah we never overreact." Like, chasing a firstie through the whole train screaming at him to return a cake he didn't even have. Fee wearing heels and Alex holding licorice wands. Must have looked funny but an overreaction? Ohh never.

Alex just laughed at her shaking his head. She was so silly, he loved that. "Pff." he scoffed and ruffled her hair. Oh yes he ruffled it. He had to. He just couldn't resist. Right afterwards he looked at her with a guilty expression. He knew she wanted her hair in the right place. Whops. "Um, whopsie?" was all he said. He picked up a cake from the table handing it over. "Um, cake?" Forgive meeee?

He smiled at her, like he wanted to get rid of her. Perhaps there was some kind of charm that made her follow him everywhere he went? Would be pretty useful actually... "I don't want to get rid of you." he winked. Unless she would throw cake at him for ruffling her hair... Gulp.

[QUOTE=Deniiz;10077889]Evan knew this was the answer he was more likely to get. Of course, he could understand why Benjamin wanted to keep it as a secret, it was still his father after all. What would he do? He had no idea... for these kind of things to guess what you'd do, you just have to live it. And Evan was quite grateful he'd never have to live such a thing, because his father knew the limits of magic.

The prefect sighed, unsure what to say. Apparently the kid wasn't infected with some sort of disease... but dark magic was dark for that, wasn't it? It poisoned your body for a while before it hit it's last blow... He ran a hand through his hair as Benjamin went on. He could see why he didn't want his father to be taken away now, and he gave a short nod. "Look," he said, trying to calm him down; though it wasn't clear if he was more trying to calm down himself. "If you don't want that, fine, I won't spread your secret to the world." He bit his lips, unsure how to go on. Because he had to convince the boy that it was safe to tell the professors, that they were understanding enough. "But this is magic. And you normally can't play with it, or experiment it on others." He opened his mouth to give the example of Dark Lord, but then decided against it. It would only frighten Benjamin more, the prefect concluded. Taking a deep breath again, he said "Please, Benjamin. Ask it at least hypothetically, will you?" If Evan Cartwright was nearly begging someone and using 'please', it meant he was worried. Extremely.

Phew, he actually let out a breath. Not many people knew it. Yet. "Well, I suggest you keep that number down," he said wisely. He didn't want any stupid fear wave in the house, not in his first experience of prefecting. Then, as he looked at the staff table again, his eyes found Lafay get up and make her way up to their table. Yes! Hopefully Benjamin would agree to tell her.

Openly pointing the woman with his finger, he said "That's Professor Hecate Lafay, our head of house." He was well aware that he'd done this introduction before, but no harm in reminding him again that she was primarily responsible for them.

"You can tell her anything you want. She's a good listener and a secret-keeper, even if she isn't the type you can get too close with."

Effective enough? Would he talk to her now? He hoped so. Because then, he didn't know what to do.

"Ok, Evan I trust you about this. I'll see if I can talk to her privately or something. I just hope she doesn't snap at me again." Benjamin sighed, as she drew closer.

"Word of advice Master Trevors. Stop brown-nosing."

"Professor Lafay, I wasn't trying to brown nose earlier. Just trying to me friendly. But anyways, can the two of us go somewhere more private? Evan here told me that you're a great secret keeper and, well, he pleaded with me to talk to you about something I'd rather not get around the school. Can we go somewhere, like to your office really quick?"

Fee smiled widely when Alex said she was amazing.Hah,he had admitted it."So are you,"she winked.She had known it fro, the beginning they were soo perfect for eachother.Right from the day at Katies house she knew it."Being obnoxious just suits us",the blonde nodded.And besides that she loved how crazy their conversations could get.When she was with Alex the rest didnt matter anymore.

Fee almost fell over because she was laughing so hard.Maybe others thought they had overreacted, but for them it was just a logical reaction. No other way.People were just jealous that they couldnt run this fast on heels and with sweets in hands.Hah."The firstie deserved it",the blonde nodded,"just fair."He could have had the cake.Best point ever.

And thaaan he ruffled her hair.Wait he ruffled her hair?!Oh.my.god.Dont freak out, he is your best friend.You still look good, you always doo."Aleeeeeex",the second year said glaring at him a little,"my haair."Trying to straighten it out she stood their shaking her head at him. The girl needed a mirror.Now.Gaahhh. But no matter how hard she tried,Fee just couldnt be mad at her best friend.Why, oh why was she so addicted to him?!Just then she started laughing."Cake",Fee nodded,"but you know pudding at midnight."he had to suffer for what he had done.If you could call that suffer.Hehe.



"You know you can be really glad to be my best friend",the blonde stuck out her tongue at him,"[B]otherwise i would hex you for ruining my hair again."But before she could do anything, he would use his puppy eyes against her and the Slythie would melt.Stupid power he had over her.
