"Yes, I guess so," replied Ariella. "And you're welcome. I just hope we can pull it together and win the match against Ravenclaw."

"Yeah! Lions for the Quidditch Cup!" replied Ariella happily, pumping her fist up into the air.

'Yeah, we're gonna win!' Rose grinned whooping

'I hope I get Chaser too!' Rose grinned. Nice to have someone think she was good!

" Thanks for the welcome" Wiliam said to Raven. " I guess you were busy last term" Wiliam said to Raven 'Dod you have to be held back a grade?" William asked Raven,

" You are very nice" Wiliam told Ariella. " I do know RavenClaw every year has a good team" Wiliam said to Ariella. " Well, except for those couple of years when my Dad, J.J. Starr amd another year, when my Dad's best friend, Jason Potter Weasley, played on The Gryffindor team when Gryffindor won the Quidditch cup" William expalined to Ariella. " Of course back then, they did not win the house cup" Willaim laughed. I know you Gryffindor will win the Quidditch cup" William smiled.

" I am with yo uall the way" William told Rose. " I know you and Ariella will lead the team to the championship" William said to Rose. "Carter, too, probably" William smiled. William got beat out for Keeper by Carter.

'Yeah, Carter was, like, amazing! Just like you were!' She added quickly.

"Honestly I'm kinda bored waiting to come back here, but my mother insisted me to be with her, before she realize she haven't anything can do about me, then she is now decided not to bother me to my education as wizard, that all" Raven say longly. and what about the grade. "yes, thanks Merlin the OWLs is far enough to worry about" Raven smile to Wiliam.

Raven though of this his fear is far enough, he has four long term to attend to catch up

"Carter was better" WWillaim told Rose. " I am going to be man enough to admit it" William said to Rose. " Thanks for the compliment" Willaim kissed Rose on the cheek.

" Most parents do either want the children to go to HogWarts a or they really can't stand them going to HogWarts" William explained to Raven." WEll, sorry you were held back" Wiliam told Raven. " you wwill probably skip a year this term and get back to yoru right class" William said to Raven.

"No worry, No worry, at all" Raven assured the boy, "I'm about to catch up easily or hardly, I been fulled out in the 3 month only of the last term and the headmaster is assuring me to take the second year status, with full help of the professors to make up in the misses lesson, extra work for me but okay, way to go higher is rough I know that" Raven happily assured Wiliam he is fine, though he is load to catch

" Wwll, that sounds real good" Wiliam told Raven. " Yes, school can be rough" William said to Raven. "Do you have a favorite class?" William asked Raven.

'Ooh! It's my birthday!' Rose grinned as she blushed 'Yay!'

"Well, I love Lafay's teaching. It's truly educating young wizards and witches" Raven say.

"How about you, what do you say about Hogwarts" Raven ask Wiliam

"Thank you!" responded Ariella. "That's great! Congrats to them!" Ariella smiled....she was getting excited about the upcoming game.

"So let's have aparty for you" William told Rose. " Give me a guest list and where yo uwant to have yoru birthday" William said to Rose. " Everyone will have a great time" Wiliam explained to Rose.

" Lafay is good, but I like the History of Magic professor and her classes" William told Raven. " I like having a lot of friends here at HogWarts" William explained to Raven. " My girlfriend Rose, too" Wiliam said to Raven.

" I will tell them when I see them" William told Ariella." You just do the best yo ucan at the match" William said to Ariella.

Orlando nodded, grinning a little when he saw her devouring that sandwich. Hungry girl. He liked it. Girls should eat. And a lot. That made them look sane in his opinion because well foood was good! "To be honest, I don't understand why would people want to fight with you." he stated, scratching the kitten's chin - because it kept bringing it up and purring, it clearly wanted him to fulfill it's wishes. When Lexi said, she did not have it in her to fight anymore, Orlando felt a little sad. So was it all normal for her? People attacking her? He honestly could not understand why.

Oh. So she had inherited the kitten from Sabel. He laughed at her warning about saving his toes. "Thanks for the warning" he added, scratching the little guy more. "I just got gifted a dog myself, named him Koala" he told her, looking up at her.

"So. What you been up to, anyway?" he asked, generally.

"I know right? It's pointless. And I am really a pleasant person." Seriously people that didn't love her were just... well they were stupid. She shoved what was left of the sammich in her mouth much to Rufus' dismay.

"Is it a Crup or just a dog? Merlin is a regular cat ya know. He doesn't know that I don' t think. Hehe." Lexi then reached up and pried Rufus' arms from around her head and pulled him into her lap and began to stroke his fur. "Koala? Like the bear? That's cute, Lando." She was all smiles with her buddy as she watched him scratching Merlin's chin.

Shrugging slightly she sighed. "Salander and I had a fight. The first one we have ever really had... I have been trying to spend more time around here rather than by his side all the time." She motioned to the common room as if to say, 'See.' She pulled a slight face and shrugged once more as she sprawled out on the sofa. "Other than that I have been helping a friend of mine with her magic. She's a third year and in desperate need of proper defense training. So I have obliged."

Yeah. Professor Lexi was helping the kids. Hehe. "Whatchu been doing?"

"Alright! Thanks! I will try," said Ariella, smiling.

Lexi giggled at him and swatted in his general direction playfully. Hehe. She blinked her big brown eyes at him and smiled brightly.

"I like Cruppies! They are so cute! Awww and like the bear. They are cute too!" Lexi said with a sort of squeal to her voice. Heheh. She did love animals after all. She was one short these days thanks to Merlin the Murderer. Well... in all fairness she was pretty sure Juniper had been a bit slow. Mentally that is. Yeah. "Oh pffft. Merlin things he is the king of this castle."

As if to agree he gave a REGAL sounding meow and swatted at Orlando's hand to keep petting him.

Lexi nodded her head and sighed. "Yes, he is my boyfriend. He is in Slytherin house. And we have been together for a year now," she explained as Rufus climbed onto her chest and put his little monkey hands on her FACE. THAT caused her to giggle. He stood there STARING at her. Hehehe.

"I spend time here when I want to hide out really. I love my housemates, but most of my friends are in different houses. So if I get tired of everyone I stay in here. Hehe. But of course there are exceptions. You're my friend and I don't mind you talking to me," she felt the need to add the last so that he wouldn't feel like she was telling him to shove off.

Shrugs. That was what Lexi gave Orlando. "I love magic. I might not be good at all of it... but I am good at some of it and if I can help anyone then I will." Okay she was really proud of that. REALLY.

"What do you think happened to Truebridge. I loved Runes since he taught it... this Viking dude creeps me out a bit."

Anyone?
 

Cove entered the common room and sat down on the couch. She had just received another issue of SurfWeekly and wanted to read it to see if she was in it again. She opened it up and found almost everything she wanted to know about the Californian surf.

Merlin PUUUUUUUUUUUURRED louder still as the boy did as he wished and gave him more petting. Mhm. That was the stuff. His little kitty eyes began to close as he kind of... hugged Orlando's arm with his front paws.

"How Sabel ended up with a cat that was vain I will never know. He is the most selfless person I have ever known in my life." Truth. Total truth. Sabel was one of the best people she knew as well.

Lexi snorted loudly as Rufus hugged her face and rubbed his little monkey cheek against hers. Heheh. Rufus was the BEST gift she had ever gotten. "You know Rufus was given to me also. As a sixteenth birthday gift. I have always loved this little guy. I might leave him to someone when I leave here for good too... it seems that he really belongs here." She petted his little head and smiled.

"You do? Can you explain it to me? Sometimes I want to hide from the world... and I don't really know why," she said as she shifted Rufus as she rolled over on her side to look at Orlando hopefully.

Eh. SHE was really cool. It was a fact. Smiling at Orlando she shrugged and said, "Turns out people around here look up to me. What kind of Mama Lion would I be if I didn't set a good example?"

Shaking her head Lexi smiled. "I wasn't either. It was last term that I got interested and tried harder. I get it now. Well I thought I did... until the Viking dude showed up. Truebs is an epic teacher. I just wish he was here to teach us now. I can help you with Runes sometime if you want." SMIIIIILES.

"Whooa, I didn't think of having girlfriend at my age, and you are having one, great for you" Raven exclaimed

Sorry for the late replies
 

Nika nodded slowly. All she could say was a quick, "Oh." Well she wasn't really expecting that answer. Zara didn't seem to happy about it either. Well then again who would be? If Nika could just quickly change the subject nonchalantly...

"Sooo.... How are the classes going?" Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Classes? Really? What part of nonchalantly didn't she understand!?

Nika beamed at her fellow second year. She thought that the boy might've forgotten her, but was quite relieved when he didn't. That was a good sign. "Yeah it was a really long time ago. I don't think I've seen you since. Where were you?" she asked curiously. Surely he wasn't at Hogwarts because if he was Nika would've seen him sometime or another.

"been busy, searching the castle, err, the real thing is I'm pulled out in last 3 month of the last term, not so good action of the Mother, that all" Raven says it casually, just like a normal happening, like everyday ordinary routine, but what he can say it, it's used to be.

"but now, they give me unconditional freedom, beside my mother realize what is me" Raven smile while saying it to fellow Lion

Merlin's little kitty mouth had fallen open just a tad and the tip of his little kitty tongue could be seen sticking out juuuuust a tad. It was kind of the cutest thing of life.

"I had thought about it. I mean. I will be travelling a good bit when I leave here. I want Rufus to have a stable home. And he loves it here ya know. And besides that, I would love for him to bring joy to someone else's life... but I might not be able to part with him to be honest. I adore him to much," she said as she hugged the little marmoset to her and pet his head. He really was the best gift she had ever received in her life... well aside for the diamond tiara... and the house elf. Heh.

Lexi watched as Orlando's face turned beetroot red. What the hell? She quirked an eyebrow at him and shook her head. She didn't GET boys sometimes. They were CLEARLY the odder of the species. "Oh pfft. Don't be embarrassed by that! I do it all the time. I just nod and smile and say MHM and pretend I know exactly what is going on when really I am thinking about what I will have for dinner," she said with a fit of giggles. It was SO true. She did often drift off when people spoke to her.
