Seeing that Lafey was making a lil speech to her house.Mikey grabs a seat next to Sierra, but still watching the cloak clasps he had given his friend as they stared at their new owner with unblinking Emerald eyes .So he was not paying attention except to clap when the rest of the table had When in Rome only to find Lafey's wand pointing around the group.Things that just didnt happen in Huff house.,

Mikey could feel a vibration from his wand even through his holster.With a small Magical hiccup a misty steam ejected it self to reveal, a hair charm that gave extra spring to his spikey hair,With a nouther cough the mist reveals a packing charm frome where he packed for his trip to Cancun ,with a last burst of mist it reveals a wrapping charm for a gift "Proffessor .... I am sorry I thought it was ok to visit the table. I wasnt trying any thing honest I wasnt"

The corners of Sierra's mouth lifted into a little smirk when Michael mentioned something about her being mad with him. Of course she'd been mad with him--he'd been like leech all term! He'd shown up nearly everywhere she had, and now that term was coming to a close, he was still showing up nearly everywhere she was!

Maybe she could successfully avoid him on the train...

It wasn't that she didn't like Michael, and it wasn't that she didn't appreciate his gifts, but...Sierra and Hufflepuffs went together about as well as ice cream and pickled eggs did. She just hadn't warmed herself up to the idea behind such loyalty, such friendliness, just yet.

"Thanks again for the clasps," she said as she stored both deep within her robe pockets. Her mind was still on the fact that Michael had gotten pricked by the two tiny snakes encircling the second clasp. Again, the corners of mouth lifted into a wicked looking smile.

She thought he was done now, and that he'd be off to his own house table, but no. He was thanking her for a great year. Really?! Thanking her?! How Hufflepuff can you get!? "Yes, well, it's been an experience," she said in reply. She thought she'd enjoy a nice dinner roll then, but again--no. What happened next pretty much destroyed dinner for her. "A muggle movie...," she simply said. "I think my father would say I'm too young." Or something...

Had any of the Slytherins, her own kind, heard his invitation to her?! "Umm, if you'll excuse me, Michael," she said, standing and eying a seat further down the table. "Have...a good...summer." With that, she'd headed down the table and taken a seat by some other Slytherin.



From behind her, she could still hear the Karsten kid going on about his supposed Magizoology career. She still thought he'd do well in waste management, but if a career in animals was where he thought he'd best fit, then so be it.

...and he was offering their Head of House a sock, too, a move which earned him an eye roll from Sierra. Whatever. Maybe the other half of the table had less drama.

...and less idiotic boys.



Just as she sat down, she heard her name, followed by the sound of someone clapping. She looked up to see that it was Lafay, announcing this year's top points earners from Slytherin house. She gave her professor a smile of appreciation and then clapped for the others that were named.

The other half of the table didn't have less drama, but it had more exciting drama. Apparently, some sneaky snake had dyed Marie Salazar's hair pink, and Lafay was trying to get the culprit to fess up by swinging her beater's bat about her shoulder. Sierra eyed the bat. It was called Lucille, she knew, and she'd asked to hold it at the beginning of term but had been told a flat out no. Her eyes scanned the table as she waited to see if anyone would fess up.



"Prior Incantatum," Sierra thought to herself, making a mental note of the incantation and wand movements. It was a spell to reveal the last charms cast by a wand, which was a useful little spell, she noted. Her own results were boring--two charms performed at a final and then 'Pack!', which she'd used to pack her trunk.

A house elf?!

Cam gasped. But the almighty sock!!! TO BE WASTED?! "B-bbut professor it's a special sock!" And then she summoned a Beater bat out of nowhere and his eyes widened.

O_____O

He scooted away. But he praised her need for violence in the room. What a true Slytherin Head of House! BUT STILL. What about the sock? Hmm. Did that Sierra Greingoth still want it? He honestly didn't know why he brought it to the feast. Maybe something to cry on. But she was investigating to the pink-haired girl. Loooooord that was some evil stuff. Some evil stuff that was.

Crap.

WHHHHYYYY?!?!

This was backlash. His wand started spurting out water right in his pockets.. That Aguamenti charm he just casted on that Sierra Greingoth earlier. WHYYYYYY?! He immediately took it out but still it gushed down so hard that it looked like he took a leak... WHHHHHHHHYYYY!??!

CURSE YOU SIERRA GREINGOTH :whaa: :whaa: :whaa:

His robes were dripping. And to avoid further embarrassment, he immediately went to take a seat.

And what is this too young to go see a muggle movie I bet she dont know they make them for all ages,well looks like ~I will just have to ask he father .....But befor he could ask her if she could ditch his broom at the leakey untill he got back from Mexico she had left him .... great she bailed on him with Lefay doing spell checks

... wasn't her...

... Nope... not this one.

Nope... not him either.... this was getting annoying.

Ahhh... Here we are. "Miss Shepard, a word?"



Hecate scowled at the children. It seemed Little Miss Bott was enamored with someone who seemed to like someone else... She shook her head.

Kids...

"Miss Salazar, calm down." She said with a calming tone. As she summoned a potion from her lab. "This is a potion you will need to rinse in your hair and it will return it to the right color. You cannot use it in the great hall, as it does not have the best of scents as it works." She said handing the potion to Marie.

"Now... Miss Evelyn and Miss Destiny Shepard... as you confessed to being an accomplice, step forward please... Is there anyone else who assisted you in this lovely escapade you would like to... out?" She looked over at Greingoth.

"You are fine here Master White," She said dismissively. Did he just give Greingoth jewelry?

She watched the charms come out of the girl's wand... not her.

She looked at the boy and her eyebrow rose... It's not like it was the first time she intimidated someone into wetting themselves, but she hadn't hardly looked at the boy. "I suggest you clean up your mess."

Destiny was so luck she didn't have the color spell come from her wand. Evelyn should have made HER do the spell instead! And SHE could have been the one encouraging Destiny yet...

What?

Did Destiny...really just say that? She could've been free from punishment if she kept quiet!

Hehe. Well, now the younger Slytherin girl knew that she wasn't the only one going to get into trouble with this. In fact, that...was it bad that she felt a little bit better now? Because she did.

Aaaand not anymore. Everything else just plunged back into 'black and white' mode where something was either right or wrong. No fun in between.

Or in this case, black and red, because that's all she was seeing. Herself, in in the ground...and her name was being called for a second time. Cringing slightly, and letting go of her death grip on Josh's arm, Evelyn sloooowly stood up (mostly because she was squished anyways) and crossed her arms, trying to look as small as possible. The bigger animals didn't prey on the small and weak right? In the wild that is? They always went for the bigger and meatier things.

Anyone else that assisted them? "No." she muttered quietly, glancing back to Marie. Heck, she wouldn't have let anyone else assist them even if they wanted to. Nope.

Good. Dianna thought. She smiled as she said, "I'm not leaving until I graduate."

"So what are you up to during the break?" she asked.

Of course, Josh's observant dark brown eyes did not miss the look one of the snakes shot his way. The younger she-snake just seemed to stare at him as if he was out of his right might. Hahahaha. Well...Josh was pretty used to that kind of reaction towards him. So he just smiled at the girl and winked at her playfully before moving his attention back to his love.



Eh, though he had decided not to pay attention to anyone else but Evelyn while coming there, there was another distraction for him on he table: Marie's pink hair and the eyeroll on her face which was apparently resulted by his actions. Actually the boy was not sure if the girl disliked his actions and attitude or just him in general as a whole. It'd be rather sad if she had him for it would have been nice to be in a good relationship with those people who were close to the girl he loved.

But of course there was nothing he could do about that. He neither could change his personality nor could control her thoughts so he only smiled at her way, too and turned back to Evelyn. For sure his time. No distracions.



Finally he could focus on the unique prettiness which belonged to him when he thought there was no other snake who had problems with his presence there. Well...probably most of the snakes at the table did not want him there yet that was also probably among the last things that the Gryffindor boy would be worrying about. So, there was no problem at all.

''Thank you, hun'' he said kindly with a sincere and warm smile releasing her from his grip so she could scoot towards Destiny to make room for him to sit. And once there was enough space to invade, he sat down next to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. Still smiling Josh was about to tell her about the thick envelope he got, which was still unopened, however when he saw the stressed expression on her face, he closed his mouth. What was wrong?

He had not been paying attention to Lafay and what she was saying since she was doing house speech and Josh was not from this house of green. Yet realising the revealed charms rose from Evelyn in a rather surprised mood, he looked at the woman then back at his she-snake. What was going on? Suspicious gaze moving around, no charms or spells escaped him because he did not have his wand with himself right now. It was in his trunk in the dormitory.

Then the lion boy understood it all when Marie started to snap at Evelyn. Oh, Ms. Pinkness was rather angry, was not she? That was natural if she did not like pink however, as Josh thought, one was supposed to know how to take a prank. Obviously it was something done for fun and there was no need to be so angry about it. Not to mention the fact that he did not like watching when his love was being snapped at. ''Marie! Just calm down. It's not the end of the world. Just a colour change.''

The boy slighly moved his gaze to hoping to see Lafay's reaction to that however instead of the woman, his gaze caught some other Ravenclaw. A female one and she was not unknown to him. Unfortunately not. Jake the Master of Idiocy's sweetheart birdie.

Ha. Not only the girl, there was also that hostile look she gave him. He was not expecting a loving look from her anyway for no one would expect such a thing from someone who had stupefied him before. But of course, there was no way he was going to mess with a girl so only giving her a fake smile, he turned to Lafay.

Yes. He stared at Lafay just in time when she called out Evelyn's name as the guilty one. That was not good at all. Not good. He quickly turned back to his she-snake to see if she was going to say anything about it but before that could happen, Josh's worries increased when the Potions Mistress told her to reveal herself, well...to her and Destiny, and had asked if there was someone else in this.

Again staring at the both she-snakes, he wanted to keep Evelyn seated as she rose on her feet as the guilty girl who performed the charm. And she had, of course, answered the woman's question with a no. What now? Was Josh going to watch her get in trouble like that? No way. He must have been petrified or something to do such a thing.

So, ''No?'' he repeated in a pretty audible voice as he stood up as well. Then he shoke his head and right fixed his eyes at Lafay ''PROFESSOR LAFAY'' he started rather loudly to make sure he had her attention ''Actually, it was all my idea. Well...of course i was not planning to do that but, you know, i couldn't help it. Marie has disturbed me for many times and i just wanted my revenge. I knew she hated pink and know that girls care a lot about their hair. So, the idea just came me. And since i cannot step neither in the Slytherin common room nor in the girls dormitory there, i asked Evelyn and Destiny to do it for me. They, of course, refused because Marie is their best friend but...well...as everyone knows i have a bit of influence on Evelyn. So, when i said that i would never talk to her if she was not going to do it, she reluctantly agreed and Destiny, being a good friend she is, did not want to leave her alone with it''

"I do not believe you Carter..." She said raising an eyebrow.

Hecate pointed her wand at the girl, Evelyn and smiled as her hair turned to solid locks of... chocolate. Not decadent dark chocolate, or milk chocolates, but bitter, unsweetened chocolate falling on her shoulders. She looked at Destiny and then smiled at Evelyn, "The only way to reverse my spell is if all of it is eaten away..." Then the hair would regrow... slowly... in one week time. She turned to Marie and smiled at her. "Revenge is a dish best served... for dessert." And with that, she turned on her heels and returned to the staff table.

ish catching up tooooo!
 

Marie still tried to get it out of her. Nope, nuh uh... She didn't do it so this wouldn't work. She crossed her arms and shook her head.

Destiny WHAT?! "You lost her? Dessi!" Her eyes shot to sadness and shock. Destiny better find her, this was ridiculous. Dessi was meaningful to Rae and she felt that Destiny would take good care of her! "Find her!"

Then there was a pandemonium with Marie, and Ev, and Josh, and Lafay? Lafay was threatening that she will find whoever turned Marie's hair pink. All of a sudden Charms were floating out of people's wands.... Rae looked down at her own to see... Charms she hadn't casted since last year....... Had it really been a year? Heh, shows how much she hated Charms, so she went to Evelyn to tell her when she saw the Charms floating from her wand.... Ev was guilty.

Hahah.

"See Marie, I told you I couldn't do Charms!"
Lafay said she would punish whoever was responsible.... She turned back to Ev to see that her hair WAS CHOCOLATE! HAHAHAHAHAHAH! Oh this couldn't be greater. And the only way to rid of it was to eat it? Rae wanted to try it...

"Let me start you off Ev," As she took a couple strands of Evelyn's hair and bit a piece off... "Eughhh! Bitter stuff." Rae even spit it out. Gross. "Good luck with that."

Kyle was walking over towards the slytherin table, a little Niffler in her hand. She had found him under the Ravenclaw table and was now starting the search to find his owner.

"Hi anyone of you know who this Niffler belongs to?" She asked smiling, the little thing was curled up in the palm of her hand.

GAHHHHHH :whaa:

"MINEEEEEEE! THAT'S MINE!" Rae stumbled out from the table reaching grabby hands at little Dessi. She was up and snatched the little niffler from the girls hands just before remembering that she probably didn't look very nice right now.. "Errr... Sorry, I mean Thanks... Uhh.. I didn't mean to be grabby, I was worried... And thanks, for finding her." Agh! Awkward Rae, your such an awkward child.

What else was supposed to go with manners??? Oh, right, introductions... She held her free hand out to the girl. Rae probably gave a horrible first impression, hair, a mess as usual, making grabby hands and screaming. Perhaps the girl even saw Rae chewing on Ev's nasty chocolate hair. Hah, oh well.. "I'm Rae..."

Rae shook her hand like polite people do.. Kyleigh... That name was only too familiar, though not from this girl. Rae almost frowned when she pushed the thought of the similar name from her mind. Yeah, Dessi... The niffler. "Me too, she helped me get the detention I always wanted!" No joke. Of course the detention itself didn't go as planned but, thats what tutoring was for in seventh year right?

Hah, right.

"Nothing much. We might go to France to visit my cousin and her new husband, but aside from that, I have no idea. I would probably end up just lazing around the house." She answered with a laugh "You?"



Cass looked away from her wand, which was done spewing out her spells, and turned to the guy who had suddenly sat next to her.

"Christopher!" She said in surprise with a smile on her face "Wow...I wasn't expecting you here...what are you doing here anyway?"

Maybe he had a Slytherin girlfriend and was visiting her and simply took the nearest vacant seat...or maybe...she didn't know! All she knew was that he was suddenly sitting next to her and it made her glad

"Nope, nothing AT ALL." She repeated. Psh, planning a party was easy...if you know what you were doing.

She glanced at her chocolate, which had now started to form into a sticky brown mass in her hands. Eeeew.. She set it down on her half-full plate and held her wand carefully using only two fingers. She first pointed it at her left hand, muttered scrougify, then did the same on her right. Then she took the melted chocolate and popped it into her mouth in one swift motion.

"Good. Besides, you wouldn't want to miss my birthday, would you?" She asked rethorically...

Speaking of birthdays...where was Brodie? She hasn't seen him since...since well he confessed to her during the prefect party

"Good to know!" She said happily. She was glad Alex had a fantastic year... aside from the thing with a certain someone

"Oh, my year?" Cass asked "If I tell you, do you promise not to hex anybody?"

He could be so overprotective most of the time sometimes....besides, it wouldn't do her any good to have her favorite cousin expelled from Hogwarts just after he had finished the school year.

Tearing her attention away from her favorite boys, she turned to Lafay when she heard Marie Salazar shout at Evelyn Shepard. Weren't they always together during class? Then what happened?

Then she watched as the crazy Gryffindor stand up and take responsibility for the older Slythie's pink hair. Then Lafay pointed out the painfully obvious, saying that it wasn't believable.

She was about to turn away, thinking that the discussion was over, when she noticed Evelyn Shephard's hair turn into chocolate...

Thank Merlin she finished hers before hand.

"Pfft! Tell me about it." she shrugged. The Slytherin really wished that somehow she could avoid that trip. Then to her surprise Cass suggested an idea. "Even though that was a very lovely idea and I'd love to go with you to France in a heart beat but I'm 100% sure that my father won't allow that to happen." she sighed.

"Hmm..Was a Ravenclaw boy involved when you wandering around?" she smirked. "Aww..Of course I waited for you hun. The Slytherin Queens won't be complete without your present." she smiled. "I can't believe that we already finished our second year already." and next year they will be a third year.

"Wow! Sounds like a great place." Freya said dreamily. She wished that one day she could go there. "Of course I'd come to your place." she gave the older Slytherin a smile. "Umm..Where do you live anyway?" she asked.

"My mother could be very persuasive...trust me." Cass said with a nod. She remembered that story that her grandmother told her when she was a kid about how her mother argued with her Herbology professor in Beubaxton's to change her OWL grade from a T to an A. Epic tale.

"But, if you really feel that way, I wouldn't push you or anything. I'm sure the trip wouldn't be as bad as you think..." Then she smiled and wriggled her eyebrows mischievously "I heard that there are a lot of hot guys there...." What good is a trip without a little eye candy? Right? Right?

"Now I know where your persuasive skill come from." Freya chuckled.

"Yeah I do hope so." she nodded her head. It'd be one hell of summer if the trip was bad she couldn't imagined how she would survive her third year if her summer went badly. Then she giggled when Cass mentioned about boys. "Yeah I suppose so." Come think of it the boys from Durmstrang who came for triwizard tournament last year weren't really that bad. Hmm..Maybe she would enjoy it after all. She grinned.

"of course" Cass said with a giggle as she bowed her head in recognition.

"Don't worry about it." Cass said reassuringly as she patted her bestie on the back "It would be fun. Its going to be a whole new experience for you and its going to be exciting and you get to spend time with your dad."

At least she has a dad....hers is missing and mum won't tell her what happened.

"Thanks hun." Freya said with a smile. Cass always knew how to make her feel better. The Slytherin didn't know what would she do without her besties. Then she saw her besties faces changed when she said about she spending time with her dad. Come think of it, Cass never mentioned about her dad. She had the urged to ask her bestie about it but now is not the right time.

"I hope you have a great time too with your mother in France." she said giving her bestie a smile hoping that it'd cheer her up a little.

O___O

What?!

Not only was it Evelyn but DESTINY was in on this too. "You... told her to do it? Gee, I guess I was wrong about both of you. Neither one of you are a true friend." Yep it was looking more and more like the only true friend she had was Mia. "Hope your little joke here was worth losing a friend over." Not that they seemed to care. Destiny would probably just go hang out with the lion head girl. She seemed to be getting along with her pretty well. Maybe she could hang out with her AND Carter. As for Ev... well let her hang out with that obnoxious lion sitting next to her.


Hearing Neptune ask Finn about his face she turned to the girl. "What's wrong with his face? I like it just the way it is. I don't see anything wrong with it." Meaning his face better stay the way it is and NO one better try messing with it.


"A potion? But Professor... isn't there something you can do to fix it now?" She asked as she took the potion from Lafay. Not that she wasn't grateful that tomorrow morning she would have her blonde hair back... it's just, she wanted it back NOW. Then she thought about it for a minute. Lafay didn't have to do anything to help her here, she could have just told her she would have to deal with it until it wore off. "I'm sorry professor. Thanks for the potion." She then turned back to Finn. "Think you can handle looking at the pink the rest of the night?"


Well it appears her so called best friends acted on their own. At least the rest of her house didn't hate her. Or at least she didn't think they did.


Again all Marie could do was roll her eyes at Josh and his little speech. The boy was more dramatic than most girls she knew... including Neptune.


O___O

Marie's eyes grew wide when she seen what Lafay did to Evelyn's hair. Chocolate? The one thing Ev hates the most. Well now, the girl can see what it's like having your hair messed with and made into the one thing that you really hate.

O___O again.

The only way to reverse it is to eat it. Oh my. At least Marie just had to use a potion on her hair to get it back to its beautiful blonde. Really sucks to be Evelyn right now. Bet the girl thinks twice before messing with someones hair again. "Sorry about your luck there Ev. I'm sure Destiny will be happy to help you with that problem you seem to have there." Oh this was going to be fun to watch. Destiny following Ev around like a little puppy. Of course she didn't laugh at the girl but she didn't feel sorry for her either. Karma was a..... well she was getting what she deserved.


Looks like she owes someone an apology.

Turning to Rae she swallowed hard. This was not easy for her. "I'm sorry for accusing you of doing this to me Rae. It seems my so called best friends are the ones that thought this was funny." Maybe they really were Rae's best friends more than hers now. Rae had succeeded in stealing her friends from her, which is the reason she never liked the girl to begin with... because she knew the girl was trying to push her out of the group. Well, now she could have Destiny and Evelyn all to herself. Marie wouldn't get in the way anymore.

Cass's eyes, which were now cast downward at the thought of her absent father, caught Freya's expression. She must have noticed her sudden change in demeanor. She couldn't hide anything from Freya, of course not, that would simply be stupid.

She smiled up at the blonde, hoping she could read what she was thinking...that she would tell her soon..but in due time. It wasn't that she didn't trust the young Slytherin, but because it hurt too much to remember someone who she never knew, but someone she should have.

"Thanks Hun." She said with another smile. Then she winked "I'll bring back presents from the City of Love."

Time to cause some trouble, thought the blonde. The blonde headed over to the Slytherin table. Lafay was there investigating some of the students about spells. Hmmm.. Weird. Not time to cause trouble, cause Lafay was already here. Emma waved her hand at Fee and put a finger to her lips telling her to be quiet, so that the Malfoy could scare Alex. Muhahahaha. She smirked as she tip-toed over and covered Alexbear's eyes. Deepening her voice, she asked him. "Guess who?" trying her hardest not to giggle. Smirk.

Christopher smiled and shrugged. "I guess I just didn't really know any Slytherins that well during the two years I've been here. I figured that might as well change that." He'd briefly talked with two Slytherin boys on the train at the beginning of the year, and Cass at the lake not to long ago, but he wanted to make some friends, even if they weren't in his house.
