The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.
Tay looked over at Maxwell, confused for a moment until she remembered the picnic, "Oh yeah of course, why wouldnt i be?" She smiled and laughed. To Damon, she smiled even brighter, "It isnt exactly what you said persay but more of a thank you for comforting me when i went over to comfort you and to see if you were okay...." Taylor sighed a little. Tay's face showed the delight she was feeling when Damon apoligzed. Now if only MAxwell would apoligze also.... then maybe today wouldnt be so bad..... She sighed at the thought, knowing that, that might be impossible.
Maxwell shrugged. "I don't know, but i'm going to make it wonderful for you. Bring your lute and we'll play together." He said with a bright smile.
Amelia smiled at the other girl again. The fact she giggled just made her little blond eyebrow raise upwards sharply. She was in shock pure shock. "Alright I'll call you JoJo and you can call me Mika" she smiled. "Well the name's Amelia Kaikoura Johanson...but thats long and I don't like long so Mika or Mia" she smiled brightly. Her cheeks dimpling as she spoke.
The moment that Mika's eyebrow rose Joanna stopped giggling, but she she was still grinning. She reminded herself that Mika doesn't know her quite well yet, so she probably think that her jumpy and hyper character is a bit unusual. But everyone gets used to her eventually.
When Mika mentioned her full name, Joanna's eyes widened. What a long name! Maybe in England, people like having long bombastic names? Ohhh... even now after two and a half years at Hogwarts (and England) she still get a few things, that were here and not back in America. "I'll stick with Mika," she said. "So... what do you think of Hogwarts so far?" she asked Mia expecting the typical answer that she always gets.
Tay smiled and laughed, "Okay i will." She nodded, "Yeah, i am looking forward to it." She chuckled, "The lute is absolutely awesome."
Maxwell nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I never knew Dad could make instruments." He said still finding it interesting and wondering what else his father could make.

Lily heard her name being called out and looked around to see who had called her.

Slowly, the redhead recognized some features of this other claw... but not soon enough to go over and say hi because before she knew it someone else was calling her name.

How much she missed her!
Whipping her head around, she again looked to see who was calling her. Lily's eyes brightened and her face broke into a smile. "Violet!!! It's been so long... and my summer was pretty awesome. How was yours?" After hugging her friend, she patted the bench next to where she was sitting and looked up at her ravenclaw friend who had been standing.
"I love it... it is so pretty and the tune is absolutely perfect. I couldnt hear one pitch out of tune." She grinned and laughed. "My fingers are itching to play it again." Taylor saw the confusion on Lily's face and sighed.

Mika shrugged when JoJo asked what she thought about Hogwarts. It was big and pretty - but she wanted to see the creepy stuff that Louisa had brought up. Mika was bouncing on her seat again and giggling.
"I like some of the Professors they look like - I like the molting one...and the one next to her." She pointed at the Staff table to where William Williamson was sitting of course she didn't know his name just that she had a little eleven year old girl crush forming on the Professor.
What? It couldn't be helped.
"Its nice...big BIG school - I like it" she nodded. She then glanced back at the Slytherin table and just smiled. "If a hunting party forms can I hide behind you?" She asked glancing at JoJo and then at the Slytherins. They seemed upset about the accidental souring cauldron cake.
She was going to apologize. Maybe bring the cookies her mom sent with her to them? She had enough for the pretty staff members as well.

"I wasn't trying to launch it at anyone" she blinked three times as though she was shocked it had happened. "I was aiming for my own mouth" she frowned at the fork. "I guess I hit it too hard" she shrugged her shoulder.
Maybe adding a little dose of innocent act to this could help? The girl looked over to Louisa her eyes large. "Though there is one person I wouldn't mind hitting with those...my sister told me he had a girlfriend and still flirted with her - she didn't like that." Mika nodded. "Some guy with a million names...Brazilian or something"...leaning over to Lousia she added "I want to get back at him for hurting his girlfriend I don't know who she was though".
Of course Mika didn't know she was talking to the same ex-girlfriend of said Slytherin.
Mika nodded when Violet said sibling rivalries sounded frustrating. They were indeed. "I like having siblings I do - its just India and I never saw eye to eye she was too...girly for me" It was true. Mika was the tough little innocent-looking girl of the family.
"Aw I'm glad I can call you Vy - its pretty and easier to say than Vi-violet" she stumbled on the name a little.
Mika looked up at the brunette that walked over and sat down near her. This girl looked almost her age. Closer than Violet and the other Patriach girl or whatever she was...she eyed the patriarch one more time before turning to the girl who had just arrived.
Waving like CRAZY she squeaked out a quick and rather loud "Helloooooo" did she mention it was elongated and over done as well. "I'm Mika!" She was being adventurous now introducing yourself helped with that.
Violet giggled at the mention of her sister being girly and calling her name pretty. "Aww thanks Amelia! So are you liking Hogwarts so far? The professors aren't as strict as people say they are." She remembered those types of girls when she was at muggle school still and those girls wore the strangest of clothing to school. "So she puts on powder and wear pretty dresses filled with pink stuff all over it?"
All of a sudden... GRUMBLE GRUMBLE
Violet blushed at the sound of her tummy grumbling with hunger. She looked up at her friend and shaped her mouth into an 'oops' shape then smiled again at Amelia. "I guess my tummy is wanting some food right now." She looked over at the table to see if there was any food that was going to appear on the plates. Her mouth was watering at the pictures that were forming in her head.

How was yours?" After hugging her friend, she patted the bench next to where she was sitting and looked up at her ravenclaw friend who had been standing.
Violet turned back around to Lily and was glad that she remembered her even though it was a while since they last talked. "My summer pretty awesome too! I flew back to Canada to spend some time with my family, then went on vacation to Hawaii with them." She sat down on the bench beside her so she was in between Amelia and Lily. "I wonder how this new term will be like. I can't wait until Potions and Herbology classes again. Those are always fun and the food isn't here yet."
She smiled at Damon, "Yeah and i, you." She laughed and reached for his hand, giving it a light squeeze.
Marie was on her way back to the feast when she ran into her new friends. "Hey Taylor!" She smiled. "I met your sister earlier today, Trinity. That's so cool that you have family that goes here."
Tay looked up from DAmon and Maxwell, "Hey Marie." She smiled, "Yeah....." Taylor slightly grimaced, "Have you met my adopted sister/ cousin, Ameliah?" She looked at the girl, "And i know you know my cousin, Damon." Tay gestured to Ash.
Marie noticed the grimace. "I don't think I've met Ameliah yet. But yes, I have met Damon before. Nice to see you again." she smiled at Damon. "You decided to have Minnie return your hair color to black, I see. Looks good."
Tay nodded, "She is over at the hufflepuff table i believe though she is a ravenclaw like us." She laughed and smiled, "Yeah i know you have." Taylor chuckled some, then agreed with Marie, "YEah i agree that it looks good on him." She grinned.
Damon shook his head, "You could never make me uncomfortable." He pulled his scroll out, But I don't want your boyfriend any madder at me. If Maxwell was mad he might actually tell her that he didn't want her to meet him tonight; that would be terrible.
Tay got out the scroll and read the message. She looked up at Damon and nodded, showing that she understood. Taylor wrote back, I dont see why he thinks we are too affectionate.... She sighed and continued writing, It is just how we grew up.... We grew up in a land that we show respect and friendship by affections, like kissing the cheek, and forehead, holding hands for a second or hugging.... But he is American and Americans dont do that..... Again she sighed then looked up at Damon.
Louisa's hand grabbed the younger girl's fork and pushed it away the other side, where Nealan happened to be sitting. He wasn't going to use it as a launcher, was he? Nope. Probably not. "Listen, honey.." There's a first for everything, right? That was Louisa's first in 'sweet talking kids'. "There is this... giant dungeon with damp slimy walls.." she lowered her voice to spice up her telltale, ".. creepy spiders getting into your pretty blonde braids and nice fitting clothes." Pause to let this horror sink, "Sometimes when someone is naughty, a professor gets them down there." Louisa was right about one thing. The slimy walls. Her detention last year was a disgusting experience no thanks to PAULIE.
Stealing a sideways glance at Nealan, curious to see his reaction to this - he wasn't going to get scared or taken aback by the school, was he? She should clarify things later. Looking back at the girl, she sighed and went on gentler, "Just.. don't eat flying food, okay?" Or use kitchen utensils as weapons.
WAAAAAAIT A MINUTE! Freeze and rewind that! Louisa's jaw dropped open as the blonde girl whispered her secret revenge on, none other, Joao. Brazilian with a million names, that was definitely Joao!
"No." She ordered simply, "We don't do revenge in school. Just..." although the sixth year was curious to hear the whole story... who was this girl's sister? And why on earth did she want to take revenge from Joao's girlfriend A. K. A. Louisa Carter? "Just forget it, okay? I'll be watching you." She pointed with two fingers at her eyes and then toward the younger girl's eyes. Louisa can be creepy.
Back to the boy sitting so quietly nearby, "Gotta love the shiny badge, huh?" She rolled her eyes and smiled weakly, "So did you take the same subjects we do here?" Louisa's arm snaked around the younger girl's shoulders to hold her where she sat.
This young 'claw was not going anywhere.

"...that sounds COOL" her eyes were sparkling with rapture. She was SO going to love those dungeons...exploring dark crevices was well, amazing? Who didn't want to collect spiders and feed them bits of dead flies...well anyone but her that is. "imagine all the undiscovered things down there - slime types you can use in potions" she was excited to say the least.
Gurrrrrrrrgle.
That was loud. Turning back to the bigger girl she asked "When does the food come?"
The look on Louisa's face right before she had asked the question was priceless. She knew this million-named-boy didn't she? Mika chuckled. "Is the guy as bad as i've heard...because I won't reek havvoc on him if he's not....if he is...well the black lake seems like a great place for his trunk to end up" she smirked.
She'd just talk to the lovely house elves into helping her. "And fine, fine...I see you'll keep an eye on me so i'll be careful. I promise." She was lying of course. She wasn't going to be innocent. Just look it.
Mika was hungry, excited, and restless. She just couldn't help but BOUNCE a bit on the seat as she waited her little legs kicking forward and backward as she sat there.
Almost as a subconscious reaction, Neal took the fork and slid it even further away from the young girl. Just to make absolutely sure she wouldn't do a half-crazed lunge down the table for it. And his reaction to Louisa's tale wasn't a reaction at all; it was an impassive, somewhat blank look. Did he care what the dungeons were like? No. Why? Because he intended to follow every rule set down by the headmaster and professors to avoid getting in trouble. There was nothing to take pride in at getting a detention, and anyone who thought it somehow made them cooler was a first-class twit.
Neal eyed Louisa's arm around the first-year, a part of him wondering if it would be enough to hold the spider-loving trunk drowner in place. "Mostly. Some of my classes were a little more specialized, of course, but then that was my instructors' biases showing through." And his. "..." And his. "..."And his."...and mine."

Mika was hungry, excited, and restless. She just couldn't help but BOUNCE a bit on the seat as she waited her little legs kicking forward and backward as she sat there.
Louisa's eyes were narrowed at the firstie as her expression got excited over the supposedly creepy tale. She might as well have told her about Cinderella. SCOFF. "What's your name?" She was so going to keep track on this one. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING was more dangerous than a hyper firstie that thinks spiders and damp slimy walls cool. Louisa was not going to let professor Vee gets mad at her for letting some kid drown, gets eaten or die when she was responsible. She should warn Eino about this one, too. "I'm Louisa, your Ravenclaw Prefect." She corrected that Patriarch thing. Twasn't funny anymore. Hmph.
When the young girl promised though, Louisa shot her a suspicious look before slowly faltering her expressions to gentleness. "'kay. Maybe you'll tell me your sister's name? I might recognize her." And unpuzzle the puzzle of Joao? Probably. "Food will be here oonce the headmaster gives his speech. Shouldn't be too long." The Prefect answered nodding at Tate as she mentioned headmaster.
Back to Nealan. Louisa listened to him closely. The boy was very not average. He intrigued her in every possible way, it wasn't healthy to her curiousity at all. She felt like swimming deep into his head right this moment. "Like what? What are your biases?" Forgetting about the little girl for a moment, Louisa shifted on her seat to face him completely. "Does that mean you come from a magic-aware family?" Like.. a pureblood one that knows who to hire as tutors for their son and what subjects he needs to specialize in? Coz Louisa's mom didn't even know that their magic wasn't like X-men's mutation.

Minerva walked over to the claw table she knew exactly where to find her friends she just wasn't sure if she was ready to see all three of them together yet. She wasn't sure she could handle the tension between the boys, but she smiled anyway.. "Hello, good to see everyone happy again." she smirked with a touch of sarcasm as she sat down.

Mika just smiled innocently. Right she hadn't told her her name yet.
"My name...oh its Amelia Kaikoura Johanson - but you can call me Mia or Mika" she nodded smiling over still. She couldn't help but glare at the fork that was stolen from her.
Grrr.
She'd need that for eating. Oh well. She'd just steal someone else's fork when the food came. That was acceptable right?
So the P stood for Prefect. SO she was in charge of rules at the school. Brilliant. Just brilliant Mika. "Oh my sister - her name was India Johanson" she smiled. "She had brown hair blue eyes - and we don't look anything alike" she nodded. It was true - only time they did was when Mika's first experience with Metamorphamagary happened and she woke up looking like her sister.
Ew.
When Louisa said food would be there once the speech happened she couldn't help but wait anxiously for the speech to happen. She wanted FOOD. Food sounded good savory food not sweets.
"You two want cookies?" She asked smiling innocently as she put the rainbow cookies on the table. What? It helped people not feel Hangry didn't it?

Tay smiled and laughed, "Well i am glad that you like it." She shrugged, "Nothing much, Maxwell and i were just talking about the picnic we are having tomorrow." She didnt say what Damon and her were talking about on the scroll.
