Muggle invention...greeeaaat. "Do they actually work, then, since muggles made them?"she asked again, anxiously. Her eyes were wide. The blue in them was sprinkled with bits of grey. "They hurt...when you try to take them off!" she said again as she tried to rip one off...which she didn't, because it hurt too bad.

"Wait, why ask him? He's not the one cut up!" she cried, her anger boiling again. Who did these stupid puffers think they were?!

She scowled at the boy. "Quit talking as if I'm not here, puffball" she spat, using his real name. "And blood isn't oozing," she pointed to her arm. THe blood had gone...looked like muggles could do something right. "I'm fine!"

Still glaring viciously at the boy, "And you never told me who you were!" SO why should she be listening to him..

Laura looked at Elliot. "That's because your not suppost to take them off for a few days, then when you take them off it won't hurt because the cut will have healed." Laura rolled her eyes at the mean girl.

Laura then turned to Nate and smirked. "I think we should just leave her here to let of steam on her own, the way she is looking now is like a steam engine is about to explode." Laura giggled and turned and walked over to Nate. "Let's go chat somewhere, it's been awhile and I want to know how you have been." and with that she turned her back on Elliot.

Nate couldn't help, but laugh about how Elliot didn't know what a bandage was. Then once he heard Laura he got all sophisticated like. "Why yes we should. Let's say the playground? Because I have a question that I want to ask you."

Elliot didn't say anything, but nodded slightly at evil puffer's orders. She would listen...what other choice did she have? Attacked by ducks...all because of EVIL PUFFER.

Did she just compare Elliot to a steam engine?! A STEAM ENGINE? "Excuse you, but I am not about to EXPLODE!" she began to yell....thus, exploding. "You have UTTERLY RUINED MY DAY. Thanks a lot! But you know, you probably enjoy that, don't you! Merlin, I HATE HUFFLEPUFFS!" she yelled, her face turning red.

She took a step closer to Laura. "You want to watch yourself, puffer! Don't you EVER try to kill me ever again! Or my father WILL hear about it!" she stamped her foot, her anger subsiding a bit...but it felt good to get it out.

She rounded on the boy..."And you! How dare you trifle down here, helping Laura to RUIN MY DAY! The nerve! All you hufflepuffs are the SAME! THE SAME! Evil! I only know a handful that aren't completely awful!" she shouted, glaring at him with her icy blue eyes. She grabbed her wand from her pocket, just to have something to do with her hands.

"NOW, if you two have had enough fun to last your short little life times, I AM GOING BACK TO THE CASTLE. Happy? I am SO SURE!" she spat, sparks emitting from the end of her wand. Red sparks, to be exact...red was such an angry color.

She stomped off, breathing loudly and heavily, as if she had just run a mile. Her face was the color of a tomato...and her eyes were stormy.

Nate looked once she turned around he drew his wand from his boot then placed in his right hand. He shot blue sparks at her back. Ones that wouldn't hurt, but she would be able to feel them touch her back. It was like a poke, but in multiple places at once.

Wait a second? Ella had suffered with muggles too? Well of course it was expected that she would attend a muggle school, but it was a little surprising that those muggles treated her badly. She probably didn't even believe in magic then. Poor girl! At least Ness ahd always known she'd be out of that world soon, Ella must have hated it more then even she did. "It really is. I hated it, and I couldn't wait to get out of there and come here. I think they just treated us like that because we're different." That was the only real reason, Ness could think of.

The blushing continued, but at least it wasn't too bad. "Yep, you'll probably be even more clever than I am." she gave the girl a small wink. Ella did seem bright, and if she paid more attention to classes then Nessie did, then surely there would be very good results.

Hehe! Ness giggled at theway Ella got all excited about theses nickames and all. She then burst into even more laughter as Ella mentioned something about her being strong and mysterious. "It's just a nickname, it doesn't really mean much." she bit her lip. There was no need to mention the tantrums and crazy moments she had that were actually the real reason behind the nickname. Ness had anyways grown up, and she wasn't bad like she used to be.

The Hufflepuff threw some more breads to the ducks and as she did so, she managed to see the time on her watch. Geez! She had been here long..maybe even too long. She still had some work she needed to complete and as much as she didn't want to leave she sort of had to. "I..have to get going." she looked at the small girl beside her. " It was lovely meeting you though." It really was. She deffinitely would have loved to see Ella again sometime soon.

Elliot, already a good bit away from them, felt them...on her back. It didn't hurt , no. But it one thing...

TICKED ELLIOT OFF EVEN MORE.

The crazy blonde turned around, slowly, to glare at both of them. She didn't know which one had done it...but she DIDNT CARE.

She walked, slowly and a bit menacingly, towards them. She stopped only when she was right in front of them...and Nate had his wand out. So it was him. Play time. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her wand...angry sparks shot out of it, but nothing major. "If you EVER touch me again, either with magic OR hands, I WILL not hold back, do you understand?" she said, to the boy. Her voice was dangerous, cold, and her eyes were alight in icy fire. Elliot had never let her anger get this bad before in front of Laura. She was even scaring herself a bit, but she was definitely still holding back. She could be exploding way, way worse. Always keep your anger in check. never do something daring out of anger... her father had once said. She may be angry with him, but his advice was law for the girl.

Laura looked at Elliot and was trying to hide the giggles as she came storming back towards them. "I told you Nate, the steam engine has just blown up." Laura couldn't help it, she really was trying not to giggle but well the look on Elliots face made her do it.

"Oh and Elliot I wouldn't advice that, if you hurt Nate then you will have the who of Hufflepuff House to deal with, it's like if I ever find out you have touched Sophie, you'll have me to deal with and when I'm angry, I'm angry." Yeah she wasn't threatening Elliot, she was just warning the girl that she wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her friends. "Plus if you attack another student you'll get detention." Laura didn't know why she was warning Elliot about detention, it would be great to let the loser have a detention.

Nate listened to hw Elliot went on and on about how he better not do that again. He just kinda rolled his eyes. Then he listend to Laura speak. Sophie!? Now that made Nate mad. "You better not have harmed Sophie! No one lays even a finger on my friends! I swear if I hear one more word about you harmin Laura my size ten foot will be in your mouth! Laura you better hold me back or things are gonna get ugly!" He hollered.

"I know that Laura..thats why I will never attack on Hogwarts soil...." but school was almost out. And that meant free reign for the girl. FREE REIGN. Better hope they don't meet Elliot in Diagon Alley...or Elliot's hand might slip.... and someone will end up with blue hair and warts all over her face. "I don't care about Sophie, she's too pathetic for me to focus on. My real target...well, I'm looking at her..." she glared evilly at Laura, hatred pouring from her eyes...she had never hated someone so much.

She snapped her head to the boy..."I'm not afraid of some stinky little boy. And a pipsqueak at that..." she snorted, grinning at him with maliciousness. He was only a little shorter than Elliot, too...but still. Shorter was shorter.

Laura rolled her eyes at Elliot. "The Steam Engine is really letting of steam now." she giggled as she looked at Nate and smirked, she was loving this but she was going to do something else soon, and then the other blondie said what she had been expecting.

Laura put her hand over her mouth and pretended to yawn. "Yeah, yeah, yeah I've heard it all before but your just a little baby." Okay so Elliot was a couple of years older than Laura but well she didn't care, Elliot was acting like a baby now.

Laura looked at Nate and then back at Elliot, this was too funny, but well she didn't want to be in the way if anything happened incase her beautiful blonde hair got in the way. "Nate she isn't worth it, she's just an annoying person, it's the way she is, I bet her entire family are like steam trains." Laura giggled

Laura hadn't realised she had cut her finger and so when she pointed the finger at Elliot she had no idea it was bleeding. "Elliot you think your someone but your not." Laura then hurt her threatening Nate. "Don't you dare threaten Nate and don't call him name." Laura wasn't letting anyone pick on another Hufflepuff student in front of her.

Jordan watched as Pam handled the piece of hair, before she screwed up her face in concentration. He gasped as her hair slowly turned back into its usual soft brown colour and when she opened her eyes they were no longer blue but their normal green, "Oh my god Pam, you just controlled your powers!" he grinned excited and amazed at her. "How long have you been able to do that for?" he smiled, actively excited.

Pam smiled when Jordan became excited. "I learned how to do it a while ago. But I can't change it different colors. Just back to its original." Like she can only change her hair to brown and her eyes to green. It was annoying to have to keep track of her hair, but at the same time, she really had no use for some obscure hair color. She was just glad she could keep it brown. "But it turns back blue if I'm extremely depressed, so I tend not to worry about it at those times."

Elliot growled...she didn't say anything to being called a baby...Elliot knew she wasn't. Babies cried...and couldn't do anything for themselves. And Elliot most certainly wasn't one of those. nope. So Laura was completely WRONGA. STUPID GIRL.

Elliot raised an eyebrow. "in fact, miss evil puffer, my mother and sisters are much different than I. They are nice , calm people. But nice calm people don't get anywhere in life..." she snapped. Its what her father always said, anyways. but why was she telling Laura this? She didn't care...and why should Laura know anything of Elliot's family? Hmph.

Elliot was about to retort when she saw the blood on Laura's finger...Merlin...NO. Elliot took a step back. "Put that finger down...d-don't you point your finger at me!" she cried, trying to seem as if anything was wrong..but Elliot really did despise blood.

Laura looked at Elliot. "Told you, your a baby." Laura smirked, only babies cried when they got a finger pointed at them, but then Laura realised that she was bleeding she would probably regret this later but she lowered her finger and put a plaster on it, so that they couldn't see the blood, she might be mean but she wasn't heartless you know.

Laura smirked. "Where did it go wrong with you then uglyduckling?" Laura smirked, "I think I might need to look up your family and tell your mother how mean you have been this term." Laura smirked she was loving this, she was loving torturing Elliot. "Actually I think I will then I can become friends with your sister and come round to your house all the time, I'll pretend to be a friend of yours when I write to your parents and your sister."

Okay...Calm down...

But she put the muggle device over it.

GOOD.

Elliot let out a breathe of relief. She listened to Laura's little comments. HEr eyebrows narrowed. Go wrong? Elliot wasn't wrong. But Elliot decided to play along, of course. Laura was trying to get to her...so Elliot saw full license of getting her back...

"My father. Raised me well, hasn't he? Everyone says we are exactly alike..." she shrugged. She LOVED that people told her that, especially since she adored her father above anyone else in the entire world. Darius. But now that Darius Jr. was born...

She shook her head, getting thoughts of her new brother out of her mind. "And you can't. I've already told my sisters about the horrible hufflepuffers. Laura and Soapy..." she grinned. "And Dani may well be my opposite...but she's loyal to blood..." she had regained her haughtiness. "And anyways...maybe I'll become a bit closer to Oakey..hmm? I've met him before. He was very nice, too..." Elliot hadn't been absent at the stands. She had seen it all go done...Laura embarrassingly telling Oakey she loved him...poor guy, she had put him on the spot! But Elliot felt this might make Laura mad enough...maybe she should stop...

Selena liked cookies. Especially those with chocolate. Chocolate chip cookies were definitely awesometastical times ten. She continued to eat her cookie, perfectly content with it until the girl touched Selena's head. "You're not allowed to touch my head," Selena said seriously, swatting the hand away and wrinkling her nose at the bread. "Everyone knows that a cookie is superior to that thing you call bread," Selena sighed, shaking her head. Really, this girl was just plain weird. And not the good weird.

She was wrong? Selena was NEVER wrong. Except during a test. Because tests were made to see how much stuff you could memorize and honestly, she didn't care too much about memorization. "Silly Kiwi," Selena muttered, finishing her cookie and reaching for another one. "I'm Cherry, you're Kiwi, you think you're going to be Queen of the World, but I'll take over the universe and even then you'll have to work for me," Selena said with a smirk. And nicknaming people after fruits was just, really, like a term of endearment or something... but tastier. Because people liked fruits right? Wait whut?

"Emma and I are THE crazytastic besties. We're going to take over the universe TOGETHER. Because we're best friends." Really, what was wrong with Kiwi. Maybe she was rotten? Didn't that mean she had to be reburied to help the earth or something? "I'm not insane, Kiwi, you are," Selena sighed. Really. There was seriously something wrong with this fruit. The other fruits didn't have issues but this one sure did. "I know a Gryffindor Selina, I think you know her too," Selena said, nodding her head. Because that one was also an alien, she was fairly certain about it.

What?

Selena wasn't going to let no owl eat her puff. That was just mean. "You're a horrible person," Selena stated as though it was a fact and then stuffed a cookie into her mouth. She didn't like this girl. This girl wasn't nice.

Nate listened to the girls babble on about stuff, and things. When he heard Elliot mention about coming close to Oakey automatically he came closer with his wand hitting the bottom of her chin. He moved in close to her ear. "You mention one more thing about coming close to any of my friends I will find you, and cast the Crucio curse. After that you'll be sorry......Real sorry." He whispered into her ear.

Laura was just about to reply to Elliot when Nate spoke.

*blink* *blink* *blink*

Had Nate just said what she thought he had, she didn't know if she should laugh or cry or tell Nate off, really though Laura doubted if Nate could do that curse but well she wasn't going to tell him off he was defending her and that was a big change from last term, now anyone back to Elliot.

"Oh well you touch Oakey and well your friend Hannah well you know the score." Laura started but stopped she was going to let Elliot worry about it, why should she tell Elliot what she would do to Hannah, Laura was still staying calm, she didn't want detention again and she wouldn't do anything unless Elliot made the first move.

Okay, so the boy was DEFINITELY a hufflepuff...because he was really stupid. Elliot decided. And were stupid people worth her time? NO. So she wanted to GO BACK TO THE COMMON ROOM. Where she might have some peace and quiet to read. Or write a letter to Dani. Whichever she felt like.

But she chuckled at his words. "Okaaay, boy. I'm shaking. Really..." she rolled her eyes, still chuckling manically to herself. As if. THe crucio curse? It was ILLEGAL. So Elliot would very much like to see him try..."A lifetime in Askaban sounds fun, really, so I say go for it," she drawled.

Elliot shrugged. Hannah could handle herself. And she actually had NO INTENTION of doing anything to the puffer boy Oakey because he was nice. Unlike Laura. So the blonde tucked her blonde hair behind her ears and sighed. "Im bored with you two. So, if you will...I'll be off. Try not to be any more stupid than you already are...I daresay it's like the blind leading the blind right now with all the stupidity in the air between the two of you..." she said with a yawn, clearly more relaxed...now. That the blood was gone. She turned on her heel, and, cackling like mad, she walked back to the castle. To find peace and quiet.

Alice frowned when the Head Girl claimed that she wasn't allowed to touch her head. "You can't touch my head either." hmph. She wondered how Emma tolerated this girl. It didn't seem very easy to the lioness. "You can't feet the ducks cookies, though. They're DUCKS. They aren't supposed to eat chocolate. Only chocolate frogs and humans are supposed to eat chocolate," she stated seriously, dropping another piece of her giant chocolate bar into Frank's mouth. Right?

.. Her name was ALICE. Not Kiwi. "I demand you stop calling me Kiwi.. or.. OR I'M GOING TO CALL YOU SHORT. I'm going to call you a short person." hmph. The queen of the world could not hop around being called Kiwi. That was an injustice. "I'm Alice, you're a short person, I called dibs on the UniverseS, so I'm getting to rule this universe too." Cherry Sel needed to get her facts straight. She would be sorry when the lioness took over the world and dropped her off on a deserted island.

"WELL. Emma's my friend, too. Emma's my sister." MHM. She loved Emma. Though she still would never get how Emma chose her friends.. Sel kinda creeped her out, though. "I'm not insane! Gramps had me tested." MHM. "And my name's not Kiwi, Short Person." SO STOP CALLING ME THAT. Flail. .. Selina.. Skylar? "I know her." Nod. "She was my Quidditch captain when I was on the team last year." 'Cept she wasn't as weird.. or crazy.. as THIS Selina.

Alice frowned when Selina called her a horrible person. "You're a horrible person as well. You don't go around asking people if you can eat their pets just because they're covered in chocolate! Short Person, we need to work on your people skills." Not that the second year could help with that. She didn't have any, herself.

Jordan smiled widely at her, "Well its a major improvement on what it used to be," he said, remembering how senstive her hair used to be, you could always tell how Pam was feeling. He couldn't imagine how it would've felt to be always exposed to people, always having his emotions on show so it made him even happier that Pam had a newfound control over her powers.

Pam nodded. "It used to be really bad. But no one would really know what was going on, except for Jez and Nate. I would walk around with blue hair at times, and people would give me funny looks." She remembered getting very funny looks from people at other houses. The Ravvies really didn't seem to mind after a while, after sharing the commons for multiple terms, her fellow Ravens got used to it. But she could never get used to the strange looks she got.

Hearing Pam's explanation to her powers, Jordan's mind raced back to when he was younger and had little control over his powers. He nodded, "I get what that feels like, when I was like 6 years old and had only just began to practise with my powers, the muggles in my village would give me the strangest looks and eventually came to avoid me." and so had his family... That had taken sometime to get used to, but being alone in the village had made it that much easier to walk out before he started Hogwarts.

Pam nodded. "That must have been hard for you." She tried to imagine what it would be like if she was sitting at home with her blue hair, and having Nate waltz in. He would probably give her the strangest looks. But then she remembered her first welcome feast. Where she first found out about her powers. She remembered chaos, and sitting around for a very, very long time. She was glad the feasts weren't that long anymore. "I found out on my first day here at Hogwarts. I'm not exactly sure what caused it, but I do remember it happening."
