She tried looking at the Gryffindor table to see if anyone looked particularly upset, or for a clue as to how it happened and who did it, but she couldn't see any.

Why was this Miss Malfoy so informal? She knew her aunt had never been like that. What had happened over the years was truly a mystery to Orabelle. She flipped her long dark brown hair over her shoulder then looked around the table once more for someone... pleasant. "Well, Miss Malfoy, my apologies," she said, ignoring the fact that Miss Malfoy didn't like being called that. Not her fault. "Who doesn't like Malfoys?" Orabelle asked in confusion. Who wouldn't? The Malfoy guys tended to be hawt. And Orabelle had no objections to that. "That would be lovely, thank you," she said, glad that the girl had some decency to call her with a title of respect.

Mmm... touchy subject wasn't it? Her cousin that is. "Really? Can't imagine her having any friends, thought she was destined to be a loner," Orabelle said casually. Mmm, her cousin was such a terrible person. It was pretty much decided since she had been born. "A mixture of both, really, that and it's in the family rulebook - must hate your cousins," Orabelle said emphasizing the last bit. Selena had read it, that's why they hated each other. She didn't understand this odd Malfoy.

Ah, the traditional old awkward-conversation-starter. Ever-Lily knew exactly where Savannah was coming from on that one, she'd done it thousands of times herself. "Third year," she stated proudly, "how about yourself?"
She drummed her fingers on the table for a moment, ('Wow, I've been doing this a lot today,' she thought to herself once she noticed she was doing it again) before adding more.

"So, tell me a little about yourself," Which wasn't vague at all. She mentally slapped herself.

After his rather unusually formal introduction, he extended his hand out to the girl and grinned slightly; it appeared there might actually be someone else in the house who was brilliant even though that really wasn't what Slytherin was known for.

"When do you think we'll be allowed to go in?" She said, licking every bit of ice cream from her spoon before dipping it back into her bowl.

Please accept my apology for not knowing, usually people have you address them by your first name. Excuse my.." she began searching for a word. "Impoliteness. It was rude of me to do so." The blonde then looked over at the Gryffindor table longingly for someone to save her.

Emma turned back to Orabelle and listened to what she had to say about Selena. Grr... DO NOT TALK ABOUT MY BESTIE LIKE THAT GIRL! Her temper was rising and she started to clench her goblet tighter but she stopped. She couldn't win. SELENA WAS NEVER A LONER. SHE WAS MUCH MORE FUN THEN YOU. She smirked for a second, her Malfoy side starting to show. The blonde could easily make anyone's life worse, she had learned that from the best, her brother. However, she chose not too. When I take over the world... she began thinking to herself, whilst looking interested.

Her eyebrows raised. "Hate each other? Oh, my. I did not know that, Selena, your beloved cousin never told me that." she replied, emphasizing beloved. She shrugged and looked at Orabelle's hair. Shopping girl. "I'm guessing that you might enjoy shopping, Miss Bellamonte." she said, politely with a warm tone.

K-Lee had lost track of the conversation she had been having and just listened to various other peoples conversations. She as usual was happy, but still felt sort of lonely. She kept her eyes peeled for someone to talk to while she finished up her dinner.

Maybe another table had people to talk to? She'd look in a minute, she should finish eating first.

Ohhh i knooow",she nodded,"at first its not really helpful to express your feelings.I dunno why though."To be honest,Fee never made first steps maybe hat was making it extra difficult.

Awwwww was Iris blushing?Oh my god,that was soo adorable.Little Fee just made the head girl blush.Wooohoo to that.Sure it wss a little early to think about babies but it just had crossed Fee's mind while they were talking about Iris and her boyfriend."I am sure you'll make awesome parents",she nodded,"even though i am gonna miss you here."Oh yees,Iris was a fabulous person to be with.The blonde would miss her loads.



Fee smiled at the thought of New York,it had been more than amazing.It had been wonderful."You traveled Europe?",the blonde asked wiggling her eyebrows,"that sounds suuuper exciting."Maybe she could be able to go to Paris one day,that would be great."Where have you been?"Aww,Emma had visited her bestie?How amazing.Braeden?Who was Braeden?And then the third year noticed the blush on her fake sis' cheeks.Awww."Do you want to tell me something about that mysterious boy?",the Slytherin winked.

The girl just shook her head at Emma mentioning William being all flirty."Yeahh i dont know but he finds me hot for some weird reasons",she chuckled.Ohhh Hugo's reaction to it.Not to good."They kinda had a fight about me earlier",the third year whispered and sighed.It would be so much better if they both liked eachother.OH TEAM FEALEM FOR THE WIN!"Yesss i am going to try out again",she nodded,"i hope to make it this time.What about you?"
Nothing could stop her this time,nooooothing and if she neededa time turner to be at all the tryouts she would get one.



"Noo dont worry about it"Fee smiled,"of course we will stay friends."A common denominator?Hugo and William?!"What is it?",the blonde asked raising one eyebrow.Ohh yeeees little P was missing.Where was the girl?!Probably surrounded by guys.Hehe."Yeees i knooow why",the girl chuckled and patted Willy's arm,"you got a little crush on her huh?"




Fee let her eyes wander the Slytherin table.Where was Peyton?Fee missed her little sweetheart kinda much.The little red head had grown to her soo sooo sooo much.And then the food appeared.Ohh yaaay,the blonde was really hungry.What do eat first? Mhhh... Noddles.Definitely noodles.

Reaching for the bowl her eyes caught someone.Ohhhhhh there she was.Sweet P, seemed to be kinda hungry too.Hehe.Taking some noodles,the blonde put the bowl back and waved at her friend."Hiiiii",she said excitedly.Midnight hot chocolates,here we come.

"Looks like we might be able to win this year, I heard it's been quite tight between snakes and lions." She tapped on the table to repell bad luck, just like Hilda used to do.

"So what's your favourite subject?" Aurora asked K-Lee.

"It would be nice to win this year after coming so close last year." K-Lee said as she looked at the boy who came back from the staff table. She didn't like losing last year.

She almost didn't hear Aurora, she looked back at her. "My favourite class? Charms, or maybe Care of Magical Creatures." She said, thinking. She liked almost all, so it'd be easier to say her least favourite.

Cass applauded along with everyone else as the headmaster finished his speech. It turns out she was wrong about the ship...it was perfectly safe for students after all...not that she would ever admit it.

Then she smiled as the food appeared in front of them. Finally! She can eat!



"I guess so. " She stated carelessly. If anyone stole any of her things, she wouldn't think twice before hexing them. Hmph.

"Well..It was weird." The blonde admitted with a frown. She never thought the day would come that Levi and her would get along in such a civilized manner.

Then she smiled , not wanting to worry the girl "But it was fun too. I got to play my new song for the guys." She said, referring to her friends of course "Too bad we didn't run into you though, your presence would have been welcome."

"How about you? Aside from the book stealing of course." She asked as she placed a couple of spoonfuls of mashed potatoes on her plate before doing the same with the peas.

"Have you learnt about Salamanders?" She gestured to Salvatore who was currently residing on her shoulder.

"What's your least favourite?" She was sure to get a definite answer this time...

"Aww, it's so cute what's it's name?" She asked grinning at the salamander.

"And my least favourite would have to be potions. It's not the subject persay, but the teacher, Lafay, is sort of mean." K-Lee said.

She stood from her seat, bound and determined to find somewhere to go where there was no one who would bother her. Was there such a place?! Anywhere away from Lola was perfect, though. "Okay, let's just get a few things straight, Mungo. One, you're annoying. Two, you and I--we're not best friends. We're not even friends. Three, you're not a queen, and if you want that glass, then walk your little annoying self over there and PICK. IT. UP.," she said, pointing her finger in the direction of the cup.

"...and finally, leave me alone," she firmly stated. Her eyes narrowed into the most intense of glares as she heard the comment the girl dared to make about her needing to lose weight. She knew it wasn't true, but she was honestly at her wit's end with this girl. She turned around to walk off, but just as she did, the bracelet on her arm suddenly got tied up in a lock of the girl's wig--possibly a result of the fact Sierra had thrown up her hands in complete frustration. As she took another step further, she felt a slight tug on her arm.

"If it bothers you so much you can sit over there," suggested Lu pointing at a rather empty space with some lonely looking Slytherins who kept looking left and right as if hoping someone would hear their mental cries of sorrow. "Sir Robin isn't going anywhere unless he spots a brand new sparkly bracelet."

Green's obnoxiousness knew no bounds as she invited a Puffer to sit at their table. Lulu picked up a fork and pointed it in their direction. "Puffer, if yer have a brain, you'll just be going away from this girl. Her brain isn't human."



Lulu watched Greingoth's explosion quietly. She was honestly surprise by the girl's outburst. She was generally congenial although picky about who she associated with but Patterson never pegged her as volatile. The third year was about to butt in, partially because she was bored and partially because she really didn't like Green's attitude but Sierra was making a quick exit. In her efforts to leave as soon as possible, there had been an altercation of sorts. A flash of something blinded Lulu for a moment and next thing she knew Sir Robin was leaping off from Minnie's shoulders and onto the green hair tangled in Sierra's bracelet.

Sir Robin attached himself by teeth and claws to the bracelet and wig, unwilling to let go.

"WORR!" exclaimed Lulu standing up and slamming her hands on the table loudly as consequence. "SIR ROBIN, THIS IS NOT HOW YER DO THINGS. DISCREET. BE DISCREET." Bloody ferret couldn't get anything right! Lulu reached over in an effort to rip her pet away from the bracelet and mess of green hair when Lulu noticed something suspicious. The hair, which was supposed to be attached to Green's skull, seemed to be shifting oddly. Hair didn't move that way. "Oh..."

Lulu reached over and snatched the wig off the girl, Sir Robin attached to it. "Look, Greingoth!" exclaimed Patterson proudly, holding up the wig. Sir Robin chattered in annoyance as he was tangled amongst the colored synthetic strands of hair. "I think this is my first scalping. I should get a sparkly sticker at least."

Lulu disentangled Robin from the wig. The ferret squirmed away from its owner as soon as it could and returned to Greingoth, holding on to her wrist and looking up at her with beady eyes in a futile effort to cutely beg for a sparkly item.

"Here," said Lulu tossing the wig at the Puffer. "Congratulations. Yer a Puffer. Yer table is that-a-way," finished Patterson, pointing a thumb over her shoulder. "You can frame that," continued the brunette flicking an index finger at the green wig. "No need to thank me, though. Just take her with you," finished the girl with a nod at the de-wigged Slytherin. "Free of charge."

Helena noticed that Samira grinned, so... it was working. Whatever they were trying to do. "Wow," she finally said, when Samira told her about touring Asia and Antarctica. Helena had always wanted to see Antarctica! She was one of the rare ones who preferred the cold weather, instead of the hot one.

As for her holiday... "Mine surely wasn't so interesting as yours," the girl giggled. "I have a grandmother in Germany, and I always visit her during the summer holiday, with my parents." Anything else? Not really... She didn't quite want to go anywhere else this holiday, because her parents were always taking her to some place, and she kind of got tired of travelling that much. So spending the summer at home felt good.

Aaaand then the headmaster's speech. Helena noticed from the beginning of the feast that professor Truebridge was gone as well, so that didn't make her feel better. What if the new Ancient Runes professor was going to make her hate the subject? Which is one of her favourite ones? "There are a lot of changes this year. The professors, I mean," Helena suddenly said, looking back at Samira.

Rozanna studied the prideful girl's face, wondering whether to test her patience or not. Ehh, why not? "Fine... but that's a little biased, because you are a Slytherin." Her point was, if Samira was a Hufflepuff, she would be bursting with Hufflepuff pride. That's how it worked. Woah, looks like she had touched a nerve there. Rightly so, she had just called Slytherins 'mean', which judging by Samira's attitude towards her, they kind of were! "I suppose you're right. You're the only Slytherin I have met, so I can't really make a judgement just yet." Something told her that her lack of snake pride wouldn't get her too many friends, though. Never mind, she wasn't going to act fake around people just to make friends. That is just as stupid as buying friendship.

"Oh, don't get me wrong. I know I'll enjoy it here, and it is a really pretty place..." She trailed off, not wanting to go into her house-hatred details again. "I'm sooo excited to start the lessons! Are they good?" Rozanna asked with a bright grin, finally warming to the other girl's presence. It did take a while for her to actually feel comfortable with new people, but as soon as she was, she was like a bouncy, cuddly teddy bear. "I went to Beauxbatons Academy for two years. But my family didn't like living in France so we moved back." Because Rozan actually grew up in the United Kingdom.

Changing the subject, out of boredom but also curiosity, Rozanna mentioned, "did you hear about the ship on the lake?" She had only read a bit about it from the Daily Prophet, but really had no idea why it was such big news. Perhaps this girl knew more than she did.

JIMBO!!

Finally! One of three best friends have ARRIVED. But... Jimbo looked terrible. Sad and miserable. That wasn't good. Iris didn't like seeing her friends look like that.

Taking a couple of Kurumi's cookies, Iris smiled at the girl and made a beeline for the boy. The blonde girl ruffled Jimbo's hair as she sat down next to him, Iris smiled at him. He looked more miserable up close than he did from a distance. Iris frowned. Then, looking down at the two cookies in her hand Iris offered one of them to her best friend, with a small smile too.

"I've never been in the Gryffindor common rooms and dorms, the Slytherin are great though so Gryffindors must be too." If they weren't she felt lucky. Hehe.



K-Lee shrugged, "I can't really remember if we have learnt about salamanders..." That was sad that she couldn't remember but... Oh Merlin that was the cutest salamander ever!

Sadly, that only last for about an hour, as they had arrived much quicker than the Gryffindor anticipated. His electric blue eyes scanned the table until they finally fell on Cass Prewett. He walked over to her with a wide smile on his face, his red tie and badge standing out in a sea of green.

He plopped down next to her, still grinning. "Hey there, Miss. Musician." Until the train, he didn't even know she'd been remotely interested it, actually.

Se answered teasingly "Not a lot of people know I play guitar and sing." She was more well known for her spells...and parties. Yes.

"So, why aren't you at the Gryffindor table?" She asked with a smile as she glanced at the boisterous table at the other side of the hall

He wondered why she wouldn't want anyone to know about her msuical talents, unless she was kidding. The awkward Gryffindor missed out on things like that quite often.

"Oh.... About that...." Christopher glanced sadly back at Levi. Besides Selina and a few other new comers, Christopher wasn't feeling too welcome at his table. "It's no big deal or anything, but I don't know, Levi just seems resentful towards me, he has for a while now, but I don't really know why. I don't really get it..." The mystery behind the older Gryffindor drove Christopher crazy. He wasn't demanding that Levi like him, but being nice to him couldn't be that hard. Oh wel....

"You dislike potions?!" Aurora's eyes widened in horror. "But... wow. I love it, most of my home schooling focused on potions! That and dueling. But potion making is kind of my thing..!" How could anyone not like potions..? "I like strict teachers, even mean ones, so long as I'm learning." She shrugged, you couldn't be great without discipline.

She looked up in surprise at Aurora's reaction. "I only dislike it because of the teacher, the other classes are a lot more fun than the class would usually be because the teachers make it fun, but Lafay is just plain scary." K-Lee said.



K-Lee nodded, "Yeah, they are." She said smiling at him. She did really like the common room, even though supposedly it was more dark and dank than the other common rooms.

However, she thought that gr her own good she mustn't see this, not now that Elle is upset, what if she called one of her brothers. So Lara pretented to be conserned "Oh! really? that's awful, why would anyone do such thing?" Lara said hoping that it was obvious that she was faking it!

Anyway she was glad that elle moved on to eating ,and Lara did the same!

------------


Lara was glad that Elle didn't comment on what Lara said to Cody, so she just went on talking "I see" Lara nodded "Aren't you excited about the new term, Cody?" Lara asked then she thought that it was a stupid question to be asked! Of course he is!

--------------------------------for Both-----------------------------

Then Lara looked at both Elle and Cody as she glanced the Staff table and said" Do you think that the headmaster will talk about the ship that was found in the black lake?" Lara asked curiously. She was so curious about this, in fact it was one of the most exciting reasons that Lara was thrilled to know about.

Cody did hang around with more girls than he did guys at times but he didn't really have any problem with that. It was something he had always done. "I'm in my fourth year", he told Lara. "A year younger", he repiled.



"I'm not sure. I would love too but I always seem to be busy doing something else", he answered. "That's what I think too. Then you have to do a fair bit of training and it gets too much", he said.
