" Yeah, she is , but she's also pretty strict. " Justin said. " What do your parents do ? "

[COLOR"]"Mom stays home with my brother and I. My dad is a contractor for computers so his company is always moving him." [/COLOR]

" Oh, well that sounds interesting. You're lucky you know. I never knew a father. It's always just been mum and me. Honestly , I wish that she'd find a decent man , but she's always working. " Justin said. " So, what do you aspire to do in the future ? "

"Bored?" Why would be bored in such a awsome place like Hogwarts. This guy was pretty carzy if he couldn't find anything better to do then do handstands. She folded her arms trying to give him a little attitude. She wasn't usually like this but she was in a wierd mood today. "So you act like a three year old because your bored?" she asked.

Now she really couldn't stop laughing. The older Hufflepuff had just fallen and bunmped his head. "Are..you..okay?" she asked still giggling. This guy reminded her of Amy he was crazy but awsome at the same time. "Im Nessie" she said putting her hand out so the two could shake.

"There's been a test, but no results so far.." said Arya quietly, keen on fussing with Perseus who was enjoying the attention. "I told him.. last time we spoke, to write me when he got the results." But she hadn't received any word from Sabel since July. Hadn't heard or seen him since then, and it was having negative effects on Arya's entire being.

Sigh.

She sunk into her chair even more if possible, and nuzzled her kneazle, letting his fur absorb her unshed tears. "You never told me about your summer." Subject change, yes? This wasn't supposed to be all about her and Sabel, she didn't want it to be.

Aaron nodded, 'bored.' And apparently this girl thought he'd acted like a three year old. He shrugged, fifteen or three, handstands were pretty fun.
Well, the idea of a handstand. Not actually doing it, that hurt.
'Three, fifteen, what's the difference really?' Aaron asked with a crooked grin. 'Boredom is ageless.' He nodded, thinking he sounded very philosopher-ish.

'I'm good, I'm good.' He said, rubbing his head, sure that he'd get the biggest bump ever. 'Nessie? As in the monster of Loch Ness? Sweeto.' Aaron shook her hand. 'Aaron, but I doubt there's any monsters with my name.'

Minerva thought about this. "Well I don't really have a clue. In the muggle world I always wanted to work with animals or kids, but now with all of this in front of me maybe I will do something in the wizard world instead. What about you?"

Well Mia didn't know if it was a nice name or not but it seemed to fit the Puffeskin. It was simple. Oh Kita didn't seem too tired after all, seeing how she had just offered to help look for Arnold.

Standing up also, Mia grinned at the girl. "Well if you're sure you're not too tired we can head back down to th great hall and look for him." Hopefully they would be able to find him soon, she was sure that it was almost curfew time and while she would happily stay out all night if she had to, she didn't want to get Kita into trouble.

Mia was getting used to everyone saying to her now. "Yeah we're going to see each other at Christmas." She shrugged her shoulders. She should be used to it by now seeing as this was the third year they had been apart but they had spent the entire summer together and it made it all that much harder this time.

Following Kita's gaze around the common room, Mia let out a wistful little sigh. So okay she might just miss all this but she was pretty sure that it wouldn't last long. "A little sad." she agreed before pulling on Kita's sleeve. "Come on let's go to the great hall." Maybe they could stop off at the kitchens after they had found Arnold. Mia all of a sudden felt like some ice cream.

"It makes a huge difference to me..." she said with a half straight face. This guy would have to grow up eventually if he wanted to be sane. He sorta had a point now..but still it didn't mean that if you were bored you could act like a three year old. "Yeah..but that doesn't mean you need to be childish" she said sounding like a teacher

Here we go again thought Nessie as soon as he mentioned the Loch Ness. "Well not really its more as in Renesmee" she said with a bit of a raised eyebrow. "but if you really...really..really want to call me Loch Ness you can" she didn't really mind it she was sorta used to it, there were quite a few people that called her Loch Ness. She giggled this guy must have been obbsessed with monsters"Aaron's a cool name though"

After her visit to the library, Kynthia went straight to the Hufflepuff common room. She sat on a couch near the fireplace and laid all of the books in a neat pile beside her. Putting the fisrt book of the stack on her lap she started reading about the various spells. Next time she was sure she would know which spell to use should she encounter any pixies at class. She shuddered at the word 'pixies' and absent-mindedly fixed her hair, which was finally starting to recover from all that pulling.

Kelley walked into the common room, after a long day of hard work. She plopped down in a chair and pulled out some paper and a quill, and started to jot down her stray thoughts. She scanned the room with her blue-green eyes and tried to find someone to talk to. Or maybe someone would come talk to her.

Of course the jolly ghost of Hufflepuff wouldn't miss dear Nicholas' Death Day party. But before he would head down to the dungeons for the festivities, the Friar made a point to stop into the common room see those in his house. Invite them down and whatnot.

Drifting through the wall of the common room, he noticed quite a few young ones there. "'ello Badgersss!" The Friar exclaimed joyously. "There be a party down in the dungeons. Ye should come! Dancing and good fun!" And food that ye live people wouldn't be interested in, the ghost added mentally.

Cassie had gotten dressed and was on her way down to the party when she glimpsed the Fat Friar. Well she hadn't seen him in a loooong time. Well it wasn't like she was looking for him anyways. Right on her way to that death day party, only it seemed the ghost was too. Why wouldn't he? She supposed all the Hogwarts ghosts were friends.

"Hello Friar!" She greeted heartily and added a little wave." I've heard about it and I'm on my way down." She smiled at him." May I go down with you?... Thats if you want live company anyways" The seventh year added quickly.

Kynthia looked up from her books when the Fat Friar entered the Hufflepuff Common Room. Did I hear something about a party? I could use a party after all that reading... She thought. Well he did come here to invite us and so far only one girl she recognised to be a seventh year, had not only agreeded to go but was already going before the Fat Friar's invitation. How did I miss the fact that there was a party going on? And a ghost party too! Leaving her books in a stack beside the couch she was sitting on, she stood up and approached the girl and the ghost.
"Hello. Mind if I come too?"

Salima went and sat down at one of the desks at the corner of the common room. putting her books down and getting out her parchment quill and ink out of her bag and started her Hebology homework.

Maybelle skipped into the common room, excited for the year to start. She found an empty spot and sat down. She was carrying her ballet shoes, so maybe she might do a little practicing. If only there was a dance studio. She had the shoes around her neck, the red laces blending in with her hair. She wished that Jake was in her house. Then they could talk all night. Or maybe a person she knew.

Minerva walked into the common room. She was about to sit down when she saw a girl with dance shoes around her neck. "Hello, are you going some where to dance? I love to dance have done it all my life. Are you taking the dance class this year?"

Oh. But those...weren't news at all. Test, no results. No answers, no moving forward. It seemed to Treyen that those results were more than necessary, especially if Arya needed to make a choice or something.

"Maybe the results take longer than expected?" why was he trying to make up excuses for Sabel? He didn't add any other comment, mainly because Arya had sighed and his mind couldn't decide whether to keep up with the Sabel talk or change the subject.

Oh, Arya decided for his mind. Good. Will he change the subject, though? He will, because his best friend was having the worst time ever as she discussed the one person she was extremely attached to. There was no denying that she was too attached to Sabel, even if she didn't feel like she knew him anymore. It was the same person, or at least Treyen assumed he was still the same, or his feelings towards Arya were the same...or...never mind. Assuming stuff was completely wrong.

"You're right, I never did." Because he'd been too intent on finding out why was his best friend in such a terrible state, "Ellie gave me a second chance," that was the best part of his summer.

Aaron gasped, mock insulted. 'You're calling ME childish? I daresay I am disappointed, Professor Loch Ness..' To prove his adultness, and not sure whether that was a word, he twirled his fake moustache.

At this Aaron grinned, Loch Ness it'd be. 'So, if I call you Loch Ness, will you wear a green monster suit and run around all like WHORAHOIFWHKDHOHG?!'
Aaron jumped up and waved his arms and head around like a maniac, pretending to be a monster was cool. Kinda like spy cool.

'And, why thank you.'

Justin now finished eating breakfast decided to go and relax up in the common room and do a bit of studying. When he walked in he saw Aaron and recognised him from their brief introduction a few days back. " Hi, Aaron. How's it going? " said the first year clueless and bewildered student.

Justin sat down on the nice comfy couch. It had been a long exhausting day. He was so tired he fell asleep right there.

Justin opened his eyes and gave a good stretch. Looking around he saw that he was alone again.

Seeing an older girl respond to his inquiry about the party, the Friar nodded. "Live company or dead, it's all the same to mee as long as you don't bring down the atmosphere!" Like the Baron tended to do, the ghost added mentally.

"The more the merrier!" the ghost exclaimed, beaming over toward a new first year Hufflepuff.

"That includes you toooo.... young lad! Wake up! Come to the dungeons! Party!"

The Friar was far too excited. Dancing with himself as he floated out of the common room. No time to waste, as they were already quite late.

Minerva came into the common room looking for someone and she found him very easy. "Justin, there you are. Where you sleeping? I need to talk to you!" Justin had started becoming a very close friend and something was wrong, she was going to get to the bottom of it.

Justin looked up with tears streaming down his face. There was Minnie looking at him with concern and sympathy. " What about? " Justin answered with a wavering voice as he tried choking back the tears.

"Oh Justin about this" As Minerva sat down next to him and put her arms around him. "Why are you crying what happened?"

" Well to be honest , I'm more confused than hurt. I told Rose how I felt about her. Everything went great. She said she liked me too... then she asked me if we were a couple... and well, naturally I said yes on my part . " , Justin began to explain the whirlwind two hour romance that he had just had. " We were talking to Harvey. Then we went to the great hall for dinner, having a great time mind you and whammo. She broke up with me. She said she didn't know how [I]much[I] she liked me." Justin said as he was sill trying to figure out what happened.
