Ness smiled as Damien said that he would love to visit her owl. So he didn't have one of his own? It wasn't much of a shock to Ness, but she just thought it was awsome having your own special owl. "You are?" she aked getting a little over excited for Damien. Ness wished she could come and get his owl with him over the holiday, but for a few reasons she decided not to ask. One, it was rude to ask. Two, she doubted he'd want to go with a first year, well at that time she would be a second year. And Three, She didn't even know if he was going to get it from Diagon Alley.

Ness deffinately didn't expect Damien to have the careless attitude. He was always studying wasn't he, or maybe he was just reading books. ness thought for a while trying to decide weather that book he always carried around was a studying book or a just a book. At the end of her own conclusion she decided it was probably just a normal book. "Oh! Im kinda the opposite!" Ness always used to freak and over study when it came to any tests. "So Um.. If you want we can go visit my owl, Aya now?"

"Hey William! That is right I am leaving soon and I want to remember this place before I leave" Victoria told Jai.

" I never thought I would see you again this term" Willaim told Katelynn. " You are moving, right?" Willaim asked Katelynn. " I have to be honset with you "Willaim kind of sighed. " I never thought you were coming back so I figured we would not be together anymore and I ended up back with Witsy, my first girlfriend" Willaim explained to Katelynn. You probably hate me now, right?" Wiliam asked Katelynn.

" Hi cous" Willaim called out to Victoria. " Good that yo uwant to see HogWarts for the last time" Willaim said to Victoria. " Amelia is coming to Hogwarts when it opens up for next term" William exp;aoned to Victoria.

"I forgot that your sister was joining soon, do you think she will be in the same house as you?" Victoria asked her cousin.

"Figured it might be nice to have the extra company to visit with," he replied regarding the question about the owl. "I have no intentions of using the creature for post -- just as a companion."

Damien smiled. "Of course you're the complete opposite of me," he said, laughing. "And that's a good thing. You shoudn't be like me. I'm probably the worst Probably not the nicest thing to say, but it was how he felt. Ness was this sweet girl who was a good student -- why would she chose to hang around a slacker like him?

Guess she had plans to visit the Owlry. "I'd go with you," he said. "Never even been to the Owlry," he added.

Maybe we should push it along some since end of term is soon?
 

Sierra didn't make any idle comments about the first few things he'd said. She'd suddenly started to feel a little awkward about this while conversation. Not with talking to Eino, but with talking to Eino about singing out loud to another person. To him, specifically. The swim across the lake she could handle, but then singing to another person opened herself up to a vulnerability she wasn't comfortable with.

"Okay," she finally said. It was either now or never, and she had to get this done if she wanted any sort of Defense Against the Dark Arts mark this year. "Let's just...get this over with." She rocked back on her heels once then came to a complete stop. "Ready? One--two--..."

"...three!"

You see us knock others down to succeed.
You see us as wizards who crave so much more than we need.

So what if we're cunning?
So what if we're ambitious?
We've got something burning up inside;
We've got Slytherin pride.
We've got Slytherin pride.
We've got Slytherin pride.

If there's gotta be a winner, then it should be us.
If you can't keep up, we'll leave you crumbling in the dust.

So what if we cheated?
So what if we lied?

She trailed off... Well, that was that. Was Eino going to sing now?

OOC: Lyrics are to "Slytherin Pride," by Draco and the Malfoys.

Should we post at the Owlery next?
 

Now Damien was making a little more sense. Ness knew he wasn't much of a people's person, so the whole time, she had been trying to figure out why he would want an owl if he didn't write to people. Well Ness had to admit she did spend more time with Puffles then Aya, but that was only becuase Puffles slept in the dormitory with her. "I see! Well They really are Awsome pets!' said Ness encouraging Damien.

Ness giggled a little too when Damien said that of course she was the oppososite, but as soon as he said it wasn't a good thing she stopped laughing. "What? No your not the worst, Never! How could you say that! Your the best brother friend I never had." said Ness wanting to make Damien feel better. How could anyone ever think such a thing about themselves?

WHAT? He'd never been to the Owlery that was a huge shock to Ness. She was so shocked that her mouth hung open for a little. Once she had recovered she said. "Okay Lets go then!". She then took Damiens arm and started pulling him to the Owlery.

" All the girls in our house are RavenClaws because they are so smart" Willaim told Victoria. " Mom had always been smart, but dad was pretty smat himself" Willaim said to Victoria. " You know dad being brave and sticking up for his freinds and his family ended up in Gryffindor and the boys have all his traits" Willaim explained to Victoria.

"I have a feeling that Amelia is going to be in Ravenclaw like your mum or she is going to be in Gryffindor like you and your dad" Victoria told William.

" I net you like to see Amelia in Ravenclaw" Willaim told Katalin. " I like that the girls are very smart in our family" William said to Victoria." If she makes Gryffindor, that would be cool, too" Willaim explained to Victoria.

"I think it is a tradition that the women in your family will be in Ravenclaw and the Men in Gryffindor, what do you think?" Victoria asked William.

" Yes, probably Amelia will follow the tradition" Wiliam told Victoria. " I am not sure about the twins Aiden and Marlena, they night mess up the traditon" Willaim said to Victoria. "Do yo uagree with me?" Wiliam asked Victoria.

"Why do you think they will mess up the tradition?" Victoria asked her cousin and then said "I think the wedding is a few weeks away!"

Humming to herself, Kita skipped along the pathways, a huge smile plastered on her face. Sure, she had the championship coming up. Sure, she had the OWL's to do. And sure, she may have a lot of explaining to do but she wasn't going to let that bother her today.

Why? Because she was happyyyyyyyy!

Yet she felt like something was... missing. She needed to talk to someone. Anyone! And despite the fact that something was telling her that this is a bad idea, she couldn't help but feel like making a new friend.

That's why, when her eyes rested on a young boy sitting by a tree drinking a juice, the brunette ended up skipping up to him. "Hi!" she said, a little too brightly, "Need some company?"

Jordan heard some dialogue and stood up. "Hello, I'm Jordan. Nice to meet you. Gorgeous day isn't it?" Jordan said looking at the girl. She was as tall as him, so he knew it wasn't a regular first year talking up to him. He kinda felt nervous since no one but a first year would talk to Jordan, he was impressed that it actually happened. "So, you're in Hufflepuff, right?" Jordan asked, hoping she was as long as she wasn't a Snoby Slytherin, he would be okay with whatever house she was placed in.

Witsy shook her head confused-like, "I have never seen that show before. I should make a mental note of that." Witsy dropped her mouth, "I'll stay away from the water..." she started to smile, but took every effort to hold it back, "...if you catch the frog- deal?" Witsy felt his kiss upon her and drowned out the rest of the world. Her clothes were still drenched and she started to shake.

Eino watched as Sierra sang. The whole moment was very awkward and comfortable for him, even though she was the one singing, but he would have to sing to her, too. When she was done, he applauded her. "Splendid! Absolutely splendid!" He cheering still clapping his hands. He wasn't lying, but then again there wasn't anything she could do that wouldn't be splendid to him.

Now that she was done it meant that it was his turn to sing. Well, he didn't have to but he should. He thought of a song to sing, but he was so nervous he couldn't think of anything. After clearing his throat then gulping and clearing his throat again he finally thought of a song. He positioned himself in front of her and after blushing began.

Fair Phyllis I saw sitting all alone
Feeding her flock near to the mountain side.
The shepherds knew not,
they knew not whither she was gone,
But after her lover Amyntas hied,
Up and down he wandered
whilst she was missing;
When he found her,
O then they fell a-kissing.

By the time he finished he was sweating and fidgeting. He was very careful not to say "Fair Sierra" instead of Phyllis and all his effort paid off. That would have made things even more embarrassing and awkward for the both of them.

" I said they could end up in different houses, but I certainly doubt it" William told Victoria. The wedding is a few weeks away" William said to Victoria. You should know" William laughed.

" Well, if you ever see the show, you will like it" William told Witsy. " The frog just jumped in the jar" William said to Witsy. William closed the jar and the tp had holes in it.Wiliam took out his wand and Witsy's clothes were dry. " I think you need to get to the girls dorm and get some new clothes"Willaim explained to Witsy. " Do i get a kiss or even a hug or how about a smile?" William asked Witsy.

"I have been so busy organising it and I have been studying for my exams" Victoria told her cousin.

As soon as Sierra closed her mouth, she heard the applause. It deepened the blush on her cheeks from a light pink to a rosy red. She looked around, double-checking, even triple-checking, that no one else had heard. She didn't see anyone, so she took a deep breath of relief then turned back to Eino. "Thanks," she mumbled. At least her part was over with. The rest of the activities she had to do, she thought, could at least be done in the emptiness of her own dorm.

Except for the swimming, and she guessed maybe she and Eino could go for a swim next?

She quietened down as he sang. Of course he'd sing about lovers. She didn't expect someone like Eino to sing something like "Slytherin Pride," after all. When he was done, she started to open her mouth to suggest swimming next, but then she closed it again. Was she supposed to tell him how great his song was, the same way he'd done for her? Ehh, well. She guessed he'd be less likely to swim with her, and she really needed a swimming partner, if she didn't.

"Good job, Eino," she said, even giving him a smile. She glanced toward the lake. "I'm off to the lake now. I guess I'll try to get some swimming in for this assignment, too." She rocked back on her heels. "Erm, thanks again for doing the singing part with me." She turned and starting walking toward the little opening that lead to the lake. "You should come swimming with me." She gave him a smile and then disappeared down the little opening and toward the lake.

" You have been doing a great job" William told Victoria. Did you send out the invitations?" William asked Victoria. " Has Jason helped out a lot?" William asked Victoria.

"Not yet!" Victoria told William and then said "Yes he has been a great help, we have been discussing children already!"

"Do you want me to help with the wedding invitations?" William asked Victoria. " Jason is a good guy" William said to Victoria. " Children already?" William asked Victoria.

"I think me and Jason are alright with the invitations but thanks for asking" Victoria hugged her cousin and then said "We are going to wait!"
