Lexi flopped some more and then came to rest on her back, her robes basically wrapped around her like she was in a cocoon. It was a sight to see, she was sure. Blowing her fringe from her face she STARED at the ceiling and sighed heavily. "I have almost always lived in Wizarding communities... I am moving to London this summer and I can't be using magic all the time in London. I mean... obviously I have visited the Muggle world, but it's never been my forte, this living like a Muggle or amongst them. It's something I am going to have to work on eventually." IT WAS TRAGIC IS WHAT IT WAS. Trag. Ic. "And I don't know the first thing about taking care of myself. Not the first. I have always had others to do things for me. Even here. The elves wil -- would do anything for me. It's not prepared me properly for adulthood at all. Not at all." Cue the flopping.

And they all had to grow up? Well someone should have given Auntie Dora that memo. She had lived her whole life like she was a child. She loved that about her. Heh. "If I could stay here the rest of my life I think I would. Really I do. It's ridiculous this throwing us out to the world before we are ready for it." HMPH HOGWARTS.

Selina wished she had some glasses or something that she could tip back on her nose. Perhaps if she had a note pad like she had seen in all of those Muggle movies it would have made the picture more complete; after all, she felt very much like a therapist right now. Although in all of those movies she had seen the person was usually on a couch not flopping about on the floor. Ah well, it was not like Selina was really a therapist and Lexi was not really a mental patient well that was debatable.

"That sounds kind of scary, but I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. You seem to be really smart and you can handle yourself. I mean, you are kind of annoying no offense, but I can't take away the fact that you are capable of handling anything. So just stop worrying and please stop flopping about... its kind of scary looking."

" Yes, it will be nice" William told Alex. "Actually, I am not sure what to do now" William said to Alex. "What do yo uwant to do?" William asked Alex.

"I dunno buuuuuuuuuuut," Alex had just yawned she had been feeling tired for a while so moved over to the empty sofa and lay down. "Thats better." she laughed. "I'm a bit tired think im gonna lay here for a bit." follwoed by another yawn and she closed her eyes.

Ronnie nodded. "His name is Harvey Watson, he's a first year." Ronnie said remembering someone else she liked. Was this normal, to have a boyfriend but still like someone?

Well, you just have a good sleep" William told Alex. " I will think abiut where to go and tell you when you wake up" Willaim said to Alex.

Ryan walked around the Common Room yawning every hour and then.He noticed a lone chair near the fireplace.He walked over and plopped down on it.He was happy today so that was good.He looked around,there was alot of people here today.

"Hm" Alex replyed with a nod. She tryed to sleep but couldnt so just lay. She got bored of having her eyes closed so opened them and stared at the ceiling doing nothing.

Lillly grinned. "Oww! My ears!" she joked, handing over the bag.

" Ryan, I finally found you" William told him. "Chelsea has been lookinfg for you" William said to Ryan. "Chelsea had been worried about you and I bet she had been worried about yoru relationship with her" William explained to Ryan. " Have you seen Chelsea?" Willaim asked Ryan.

" You are just not here with us today" William told Alex. " Why don't you go to yoru dorm and get a good night's sleep?" William asked Alex. " You will be yoruself in the morning" William said to Alex.

Witsy came running down from stairs from the girl's dormitory. She noticed the fire burning from the other side of the room. What she wanted to do would get her expelled, but she thought this might be worth it. She had that bag of cat food in one hand and made a fist with the other. She looked like she came out of a smoke room and her hair was burned. She looked around looking to spot anyone guilty...

"Are you ok? William asked Witsy. " You look really angry" William said to Witsy. Oh, it is probably me she is mad at right now. " Please do not be mad at me" William told Witsy. " Hopefully it is not me and I can help you in any way" William explained to Witsy.

Witsy was suddenly faced with William. With all the anger she was feeling, she started laughing. "I'm really upset. Truly. I must look ridiculous right now." She dropped the bag of food. "Crap, I hope this doesn't stain the carpet." She looked to William, "You don't think this'll stain the carpet, do you?" Great here I am with Wolfy missing and cursed cat food, and I'm worried about the carpet. She took a deep breath and starred at the bag.

" Yes, I know you are upset but why?" William asked Witsy. " Why fo you think you look ridiculous?" William asked Witsy." You look really worried and I do not think the carpet can be stained as we can get out stains with magic" William said to Witsy. William pointed to the stain and called out "Evansco". " There the stain is all gone" William told Witsy. " Did Wolfy run away?" William asked Witsy.

"I'm upset because Wolfy's been missing and when I went to give her, her food the bag exploded and I don't even want to know what's in the bag and I didn't want to leave it in my room so I'm taking it with me. Now I'm covered with...with... I don't even know what 'this' is." Witsy watched William fix the carpet, she smacked her forehead. She hung around her (muggle) mother too much. "Magic, of course. I don't know where she is but she's been gone all day and I don't know what to do." She looked to the bag, "I don't know who'd want to harm her either." She sat down on the floor where the stain vanished.

" WEll, you just take it easy right now" Willaim told Witsy. "You can also clean yourself up with your magic" William said to Witsy. William pointed his wand at Witsy, then called out "Evansco" again. " There clean clothes for you" William smiled." We will get a search party out for Wolfy and we will find her" Willaim explained to Witsy.
" Witsy and I need a search party to find her cat Wolfy, any volunteers? Willaim asked the boys and girls in the common room.
" I bet we can get Lillaim, Trinity and Minerva to help you" he told Witsy. " Justin and Harvey will be good at helping, too" he said to Witsy." If I see Fee ad Chelsea, they would be happy to help us" William smiled.

"Thanks," she said calming down. "Wait, maybe I just need to sleep. I don't want a search party," she looked kind of sheepish and whispered, "I don't want to seem like I can't handle this situation," well duh look at yourself, she thought to herself. "I'm more worried at who could have done this than anything... is that wrong of me? I think I'm going to walk for a little bit."

" You are welcome" Willaim told Witsy." Ok, you just need some sleep" Willaim agreed with Witsy. " Search party called off because Witsy does not want one" Willaim said to everyone." I just thought you might want friends to help you find Wolfy because it is easier for more people to help than just one" William explained to Witsy. " Talking a walk to clear your head is a great idea" William smiled. " Listen to me and please take help in finding Wolfy, ok?" William asked Witsy.

"Thanks. I'll think of something." She looked to William and hugged him good bye. "I'll see you around. I'll let you know if anything turns up... like remains or something," she winked, now's not the time to be funny, your cat could be lost cold and hungry scared out of her mind. She shook her head and waved off as she left for her walk.

Kurumi made her way into the common room VERY carefully carrying a rather large bowl of hot noddle soup. Josh hadn't been feeling too well recently and Kurumi had been very concerned about it. It wasn't like the seventh year Gryffindor to wear a frown all the time...or to not be causing some sort of trouble, so Kurumi had the feeling that whatever was bothering him wasn't just something that a Healer could fix.

Setting the soup down on a table, Kurumi flopped down on one of the couches and waited for him to make his appearance.

Before he slowly made his way out the boys' dormitories, Josh covered himself with a soft blanket as he had been, surprisingly, cold. Surprisingly because it was not something he felt frequently, unless he was trying to swim into the lake during fall, yet now it was like he was feeling the cold...all the time, even everywhere in the castle.

Sniffing a bit, the lion boy looked around once he made it into the place, where was supposed so feel warm since there was a fire going on in the large fireplace, yet he was still cold. Gah. He hated it. So, with irritated eyes he searched the female prefect and when the dark brown gaze was finally landed on her in no time, he smiled a bit. ''Hi, Kurumi.'' Then walking forward and approaching her, he just...stood there.

Kurumi had been leaning her elbows on the edge of the sofa, her gaze locked on the fire, not really thinking about anything when she heard Josh's voice. Her head snapped around and an instant smile was brought to the prefect's face - yes, Josh still did and probably always would have that effect on her. "Hey, Josh," she chirped, scooting over a bit so that he could flop down on the sofa should he desire. He kind of looked like a burrito the way that he had the blanket wrapped around him, a Gryffindor burrito.

"I made you some soup," she continued, pushing the bowl towards him and offering him a spoon. Not in the kitchens, sadly. Those were still locked. Poo.

Seeing she was trying to present some room on the couch for him, Josh smiled a bit again before he stood up keeping himself away from the lioness as much as possible. In case this annoying thing was contagious. The last thing he wanted was her getting sick too, especially because of him.

Then he opened his mouth to say something, probably to ask how she had been, yet closed it quickly when she acted before he could and spoke first. Soup? ''Soup?'' his dark brown eyes widening a bit, he looked down at the bowl in her hands. Now that...reminded him of his mother which was half relaxing and half...awkward. Kurumi...mother? Mother Kurumi?

Okay. He seriously needed to stop it.

''Thank you...'' he said finally stopping eyeing the bowl with a surprised expression and taking it from her with the spoon. ''...very much. But i hope i won't somehow manage to drop it and, you know, boom! I am not sure if the whole common room is soup-proof.'' Heh. Maybe lame but it was good to know that he still had a bit of sense of humour left there somewhere.

''Well...how have you been? How are the duties going? Any problems?'' Maybe he did not have the energy to force anyone to behave right now yet he knew he could always give them a scary warning if they were causing headache to the prefect.

" Ok, well you think of something" William told Witsy. He gave har a friendly hug back." I want to hear good news" William said to Witsy. " I atill think all of us freinds should help you find Wolfy" Willaim explained to Witsy. When did Witsy become so stubborn? " Bye" Willaim waved to Witsy.

Kurumi giggled softly. Josh sort of resembled a deer in the headlights - which was only intensified by the color of his brown eyes. "You said you were not feeling better and my brothers always made me soup whenever I felt sick," she explained. Probably more than she really needed to, but words just sort of always came rambling out of her mouth whenever she was around Josh. Maybe it was the nervous little girl in her. "With the kitchens being closed...and the food not being up to par...I thought that some home made soup might make you feel better."

She found herself giggling again when he mentioned potentially dropping the soup. "There are charms that could prevent that you know," she laughed. She had actually used them on Selina's dress at the party to prevent her obsession with food to go as far as a display on her clothing.

She smiled a bit, with a slight blush appearing on her cheeks when he asked how she was. "I've been great," she nodded. Finally everything seemed to be falling into place and she wasn't feeling overly awkward about everything. Classes were going well and she was getting some pre-OWLs study in with her tutoring of Jonathan. "Prefecting is...going alright," she nodded with the slightest of frowns. She had been feeling like she was failing the first years at times since they were still losing points during classes and, well, one had even been sent out of the class. "Hard to keep up with everyone at times. Very active group of first years this term, which is wonderful...but tiring." She laughed a bit. Tiring was sort of an understatement.

"But...how have you been? I've been worried about you..." She sort of mumbled that last bit as she scooted a little closer. Yeah, we know Josh was trying to keep a distance so that she wouldn't get whatever it was he got, but Kurumi had a strong immune system. Yep.
