"I know mate it is crazyy! I never thought I would see the day!" he joked with him and nudged him. "But I am gonna miss this place though!" he said looking around and such. OH! He had something to ask Noel quietly so he took him aside and whispered, "Sooo dude that plan we had in the common room, is that still on?" He said speaking in code incase ears were listening.

As he was making sure no one was listening, he noticed Bleu waved to him. He smiled and waved back to her. Nope nothing was going on here at all. He walked over to her and asked, "Hello Bleu, how was your summer?" He was curious how Dylan was this summer too.

Now speak of the person he hadn't seen since Diagon Alley, he saw Candy Queen make her entrance. She looked different but a good type of different. He smiled when she used his nickname. "Hello Candy Queen. Awww don't worry about it you and Emmy can start a shortness club." he joked and ruffled her hair. "How have you been?" he asked being the gentlemen he was.

Adi, Noel, Emmy, Kace, Bleu, Leah, Phillipe, and Sophia. ^_^
 

Wait, they were supposed to give him something in return? Oh no! He chewed his lip, maybe he could make something for those who had given something to them. He didn't want to be rude! And they were being so nice with the gifts and welcoming them into Hufflepuff! He smiled though at Jay's idea. He wasn't too fussed about the card, he had a few of them but Jay was the one collecting. "That sounds good to me." he said nodding.

He beamed at the prefect boy "I loved it! I got the house I wanted to be in. I wanted to be in the same one as James." He didn't say he'd really not wanted to be in Slytherin because well...maybe the boy liked Slytherins and would be offended if he said that! "Both of my mums were in Hufflepuff and aunt Willow and uncle Dan too." he said in response.

Torie looked at the boy with wide eyes as he took the small badge of Manchester United, "Wow!" He whispered in awe as he looked at it. "Are you sure? It looks really special!" Merlin! That was so cool! He loved watching and playing football but didn't have a favourite team!

He nodded at his correction. "I want to meet them. I've never met a house elf before. Are they nice?" Or did they bite if they were mad? They were creatures after all weren't they? "Ohhh a baby?" Oh merlin! Stealing from students?

"Hufflepuff won it? That's awesome! I hope we win it this year too!" Eh, he hoped he didn't lose too many points....he'd have to be very careful and sneaky! "I hope I can get points for our house...." he murmured.

Torie looked up as another first year was sorted and clapped with the others as the sorting hat called out Hufflepuff. "Hi!" he said brightly. "Welcome to Hufflepuff. Oops....was he interrupting by greeting them? He already had a quill and paper out! The poor kid looked a bit as miserable as Jay was feeling as well! "Are you alright?"

A bigger smile stole across his features as Adi spoke more. "Thank you!" He liked this prefect! Ha! "Okay! Mum said I have to do that anyway!" he beamed. When Henric spoke, he looked his way and smiled a little. "Thanks. It's nice to meet you." He seemed a little shy, but was coming out of his shell more. One example of that was him waving at a complete stranger (Noel) who came to the table, greeting everyone.

His blue eyes travelled to Kace as he spoke to them both and he piped up. "Can I come see the house elves too?" He nodded seriously when he was told those were hard subjects, but beamed at him saying one professor was really helpful. "That's good!" Yep! He looked forward to it! Wheeeee!

Norah's mention of them winning the house cup last year made James nod too and his eyes lit up when she said he could come and find her. "That would be cool! I want to send her a letter!" Mum would have to read it to her, but he could still send it! "Yeah, dad started by giving me all the house leaders and Bathilda Bagshot." Mhmmmm.

"Maybe we'll have a quietish year?'' Adi suggested to Abby. But last year was already not so eventful with the exception of one thing... poor Gregorie... so he wasn't so sure he wanted another year that quiet.

Adi snorted. Verrrry funny, Henric. He WAS likely to do something like that though, wasn't he? "Better watch your self from here on out, Henny,'' he warned lightly. If Adi ever did something like that, it wouldn't be anything too serious. Just a little something for his own amusement :shifty: And now he could see from Henric's expression, the boy was taken aback with the new nickname. Hehe. But that was Adi for ya. Nicknames were his thing. Not worth trading? Come on, Henric. Stop talking like that. "Why re you saying that? I'll give you a stack of mine. I've got so much that my mom constantly nags at me to throw them out but I never did. Anyway, you'll have your own collection now so you can start trading. I haven't got some of the rarer cards though so if you come across any of those, let me know.'' But the fact was, Adi was more interested in eating the Froggies LOL. In any case, he would be willing to give cards to the other boy even if he hadn't had a ton. It was just was just so cool how these two had become super fast friends.

"As a matter of fact, I do know that.'' Cue the grin! No sugar? Adi didn't care. The gesture was enough for Adi to see that this was going to be an AWESOME friendship. He waved a hand dismissively. "No need to think too much on that.'' Ohh, Henric was up for his suggestion? YEAH! "Yes, it is. You got yourself a deal, Henny! Just let me know when you're ready to loose. I'll soon have homework that will need someone to do for me.'' :evil:

Was that a flicker of jealousy Adi could see on Henny's face as Leah rested her head against Noel's shoulder. It must be and Adi couldn't blame him. If AJ ever did that to some other guy while he had been crushing on her and he hadn't expressed his feelings as yet, he would be feeling the same way.

"Are you planning on becoming an Auror, Kace?" Adi asked curiously. He knew there were other professions that involved the subject but the career path of an Auror stuck out to him. Help Kace in Potions? "You need not ask!'' Helping out in that subject area was something Adi loved to do. He was always having to help Benny out so he had had loads of practice.

It seemed Sophie had finally made it! Adi turned his attention from Kace to the younger girl. "Heya again, Sophs!" Did you get lost?'' Hehe. Or maybe she had stopped to catch up with some friends. And look! ANOTHER FIRSTIEEEE! (Philipe) WHEEEEEE! "Hiya!'' The all too cheery form that was Adi smiled broadly at the newcomer who was writing something on paper. "Welcome to Hogwarts and Hufflepuff House! I'm Aditya, one of your House prefects.'' Here was your welcoming gift... Adi placed a chocolate frog in from of the guy.

"I'm glad to hear that,'' Adi told Lux. Too bad he hadn't had the time to drop in on his friend. It had been such a busy summer and Lux was right... summer had been too short. "That's great! Congrats! Now this year we can actually get to relax a bit.'' Yep but then next year they would be back to all that studying. Hmph. Adi laughed. "I am not. I just studied a lot. I got seven Os', three Es' and two As'. See? You did a whole lot better than I did. I got an A in Runes too but considering that it's my weakest subject, I'll take it.'' He thought he would have failed that, honestly.

Aw! So Torie had wanted to be in Hufflepuff. There was something you didn't hear everyday. Hufflepuff was seriously the most underrated of the four Houses. "You and James are besties?'' Or perhaps they were related? And he came from a family of Puffers! How cool! "You're very welcome,'' Adi said cheerily to James now. "Your mom is a wise woman.''

Abby nodded and said "Yeah i would like a quiet year but i mean Adi it is Hogwarts we will never have a quiet year and did you notice that the guy who was our tour guide at Loch Ness is at the staff table" Abby noticed there were new faces at the staff table and wonder what changes in staff had taken place

Kace shrugged at Lux and then, "Well then you could conquer your fear because I will be right there with you." he said. I mean it didn't sound bad. Eeehh he didn't even want to study this term. He just wanted to live life and just celebrate his last year. "I mean I will try. Maybe you can help me and be my study buddy..?" he asked and batted his eyelashes. I mean he knew Lux was the star pupil and was the nerd in every subject. He had to use that for his advantage. Ask Cutty for candy? He raised his eyebrows at that one. "Ask Cutty candy? Why does he know the in and outs of honeydukes?" he asked curiously. "Aaahh well I can teach you how to fly on a broom. I would love to see you on a broomstick and flying in the air.." he smiled and hopefully she would do it.

He chuckled at Torie's question. Were house elves nice? He replied, "Well most of them are nice but sometimes you will get mean ones. It is not a big deal. You will be with me I can protect ya.." he promised the little first year. "Yup there is kind of a baby house elf Toddles. He is really nice. Maybe you can meet him one day. But just keep checking your pockets ." He remember Zander was always mad when Toddles stole his stuff. "What classes are you looking most forward
to?" he asked. Then he heard [BJames[/B] asking to visit the house elves, he turned his head and nodded. "Oh of course you can! Yeah we can go like tomorrow or something in the morning. They serve the best treats." he said. He couldn't wait to see their reactions.

Kace heard Adi's question and he thought about it. "Yeahhh I think I am. I think that would be pretty cool right?" he asked Adi on his opinion. "I mean I heard it was hard to get into that program too." He was relieved Adi would help him. "'Thanks mate. I'll owl you like a time to meet and such for studying. Sounds like a plan?" he asked.

Ickle Philipe & James, KACE!, Lux <333
 

Look at that! Ickle firsties. When one of them waved back, Noel only thought it was appropriate to welcome them to the only house without drama. "So, how you boys liking it so far?" he asked the both of them while leaning on his elbows.

One of them didn't seem THAT happy though and he wondered why that was. It did remind him of his own first feast and how he had grumbled and sighed through it all. Oh, how he had hated Hufflepuff.

Speaking of hating things ..... when was the headmistress going to do the speech and let them eat?


"Oh pssh. I always knew you would see this day!" Noel grinned and nudged him back. It's true. Kace was just that 'IT' guy, you know. Noel just KNEW he would end up doing the big things in life. Oh yeah.

When Kace started whispering, Noel couldn't HELP but grin wider ridiculously. CUZ DUDE. "YES," he replied not so subtly before lowering his voice, "I have been taking care of supplies and stuff. It is SO ON. I talked to Toby earlier - he is all set too"

AHH. This was going to be THE BEST thing Hufflepuff ever did. Oh yes.

LUX. The puff beauty. "Hello" he smiled and nodded. "Yep. It was beyond my expectations. How about you?" he asked, trying to not look mopey because summer was over.

Again, how many days till he could go back again?

Kace and Lux and anyone else that wants to say Hi ;)
 

Bleu smiled as Kace came over to her. She wasn't expecting him to do that. But he was a sweetie and wouldn't pass up saying hello. "Hi Kace! It was great! I got to meet Dylan's family and then he came and hung out with me for a while in Chelsea." She smiled.

She knew Kace and Dylan were best friends and Dylan was pretty sad that this was Kace's last year. "How was your summer? I'm sorry we didn't get to have that double date yet. Hopefully we can during Hogsmeade visits." She also needed to apologize to Emmylou for the way she acted. She really felt terrible about that.

Bleu had always been very careful about what she ate, mostly because she had always been on the heavier side. It ran it her mom's family. But she did love food, maybe not as much as Lux, Bay, and Dylan but she did love it. She smiled, "I love food too, but that boy is like a bottomless pit sometimes. Especially when it comes to chocolate chip cookies." She giggled, remembering when his mother had made them a batch of cookies and Dylan at almost all of them.

Bleu gave Lux a sad smile. "I'm sure it sucks to not be with Bay all the time anymore. But...I'll get you through it." She smiled and wrapped her arm around the girls shoulders. "I can be a pretty fun distraction sometimes." She giggled.

Hi I'm late... XD Everyone <3
 

Dylan made his way into the Great Hall in a rush; he couldn't believe he was late to the feast! He was never late to anything...especially places that had food! He just had to have left his bloody guitar on the train... *sigh*

When he reached the Hufflepuff table, he gave a wave to everyone. "Hey, guys!" He greeted his fellow Badgers with a beam. He then found Bleu and gave her a hug before sitting in the open spot beside her. "Thanks for saving me a spot," he said. "I left my guitar on the train and didn't realize it until I got to the front gate." He shook his head at this. "I got it just in time."

Bleu saw a very familiar frame rushing into the great hall. She grinned as Dylan gave her a hug. "You're welcome." She replied, she wouldn't have saved a spot for anyone else. When he said he left his guitar on the train she thought about how he was almost the last person to get on the train that morning because of Ginger not being cooperative. "Well, I'm glad you got it before the train left. Today just isn't your day is it." She gave him a reassuring kiss on the cheek.

Adi, Kace, Noel. Bleu, Dylan, and Philipe. ^_^
 

Kace, Adi, James, Torie, Noel, Leah, Bleu, Lux, Dylan, Phillipe, Abby and everyone!
 

Henric waved to Lux, Bleu and Abby. He didn’t know them personally but he didn’t want to be rude and not say hi to them too. “Hi! I’m Henric,” he greeted his fellow housemates.

Henric chuckled,”Yeah sure! Unique names club sounds very nice! Let’s have that, why not?” Henric grinned and came nearer to Kace so he could listen to him intently. “I didn’t know they can lead us to the shrieking shack…woah…but I heard it was off-limits to trespasses...and uhh..haunted…and we can’t even get near the Whomping Willow, how we intend to pass that? We could lose our heads trying to go under it…”he whispered to Kace and gulped.

Henric did his famous eye-rolling again at Adi, he was a master of pranking…his dad. Yes, it was true since he was often cooped up at home and rarely seen outside playing with the neighbourhood muggle kids. He wanted to but those kids made him feel like an outsider due to him being different. And, so he would spend his time scheming up ways by himself to keep him preoccupied and pranking his dad was one of them. Game on...dear friend.

"Are you sure? Actually I do have a few rare dragons cards if you like, you can take any one of them in exchange for the chocolate frog cards, its the least I can do for your generousity, Adi,” Henric smiled. It took him 2 years of his hard-earned savings to be able to attain them but he didn’t mind, he was certain Adi would undoubtedly take care of it.

Henric laughed, ”Alright, it’s a deal then, name the time and place, I’ll be there with my football, we can have others play too, if you guys want to join the fun…” he was referring to the firsties and the other students surrounding the table.(James, Torie and everyone else.) Muggle sports were fun too! He wondered if his favourite muggle studies Professor Moxley would ever consider muggle sports as a topic of study. He would totally dominate.Yup.

Henric turned to Torie ,”I have more where that came from,Torie, I have Manchester United banners and keychains too! I’ll bring more for you and James later, I’m glad you like them, buddy,” he beamed. He was excited to share his love for muggle football with others who were familiar with them.

Oh right…Noel wasn’t there during the summer trip. Hmm… he wondered why? But Henric was a little reluctant to ask anything more from him. Noel looked like the kind of guy with the devil may care attitude. Didn’t he formed a band or something…WizKids? WizLords? WizRots...right..somewhere along those lines. “Oh…well, that’s good then, wish you were there, mate, we could have loads of fun there,” he replied, nonchalantly. He doubted he would though…having him there would dampen his mood more like. (hehe!:glomp:)

He smiled and waved to the newcomers,”Welcome to Hufflepuff…” Seemed like the boy named,Phillipe, didn’t seem to look happy with his chosen house. How odd? It was probably the first time he had seen such a thing happened.

Sorry for the very late reply!!!
 

Margo smiled when she heard her name being called home. She knew this was where she belonged and she loved every second of it. Running toward the sound of her voice. Margo stopped infront of her friends.

"ADI!!!!" She screeched clutching him around the middle as he sat at the table. She took her seat next to him and smiled. "So good to see you how was your summer? Did you do anything fun? Mine was kind of boring." Margo was talking so fast she doubted that Adi would even be able to keep up to her nonsense!

Then turning toward the other who called her name. "Hayden! Good to see you! I'm excited for second year, it's going to be way better than first! And I love not being the 'new' girl this year. Margo smiled thinking she had the one up on all the firsties now! She knew things!

And finally Margo turned to smiled at Kace She wasn't sure how she was going to feel this year. Last year she had such a crush on him, he was so cute, but being several years older than her and the fact that he had a girl friend, he was probably not the best option for her. So turning toward him, Margo was pleased to see that she didn't even blush. "Hey Kace! How are you!" She added smiling at him, she felt better known that her feelings were back on tract!

Kace, Lux, Adi! <3
 

Sophia looked at Kace and giggled as he ruffled her hair. "I'm sure me and her will, and it'll be a worldwide famous club!"said Sophia playfully before giggling. Feeling a pair of eyes on her, she looked at the Gryffindor table and seen Seth looking at her, giving him a glare she turned back to Kace. "I - I'm ok, I mean ok for someone who gotten used and her heart broken. Sophia mumbled the last part but she knew that Kace probably heard her due to her sitting next to her. Sophia kept him updated in all the letters she wrote to him and everyone else during the summer time, although she wasn't sure if he gotten them or not. She really didn't know if any of her puffer friends gotten any of her letters, she wrote all of them almost every other day.


Sophia looked at Lux and smiled weakly at her. "I'm glad that you're summer went great, as for mine, it wasn't that great but we can talk about that later maybe at the lake? "Sophia asked her tilting her head. It wasn't that Sophia was uncomfortable talking about heart breaks with Kace and stuff, he probably had them, but some stuff was just girl stuff. She was lucky to have her Luxury Lux to talk about these things with, heart breaks were no fun, and she hated them especially the first one. She was sure that Lux understood, although she wasn't a hundred percent for sure she was pretty sure.


Sophia looked at Adi and rolled her eyes playfully at him. "I didn't get lost Adi, it's me being so dang short that people push and shove me out of the way, it's like a hurricane and I'm the little tree blowing in the wind! "said Sophia.

Nodding at Adi, James beamed. "I know! My mum is amazing!" Yep! Oh, he missed her. Siiiiiigh. He looked up when Kace spoke and agreed to take him along. A smile appeared again and James glanced at Torie excitedly.

Noel's question made Jay pause. "It's food and chairs and awesome people. What's not to like?" MHMMM. Ooooh, FOOTBALL? Jay's eyes lit up and he beamed at Henric, nodding enthusiastically.

He looked to the top table when a voice rang out and James actually physically fell off the bench at seeing the headmistress. "Mum?" he whispered, his eyes wide with surprise, wonder and slight bit of fear. WAS SHE FOLLOWING HIM? OH MERLIN. He stayed on the floor, staring up at the woman long after she'd finished speaking.

Lux, Bleu, and Henric ^-^
 

As he sat, he chuckled at Lux and nodded. "I must have missed the speech," he said, looking to the staff table as they were all getting seated. Oh well... that meant food, and Dylan turned happily back towards the table where sure enough the food had appeared. Ah, his favorite part!

Lux hadn't heard him play yet? Dylan gave her a look for a minute as he thought. Come to think of it, he didn't remember ever doing so. "Well I'd love to! Anytime just let me know and I'll play for you," he said as he began dishing potatoes and chicken onto his plate.

He laughed and nodded. "Yeah it really isn't...oh well, the day isn't over quite yet!" Though the day almost was in fact over. Oh well, he was just glad he made it on time for food and his gorgeous girlfriend. Two of the most important things!

He kissed her cheek in return, smiling at her. He then went on to pour himself some Pumpkin Juice into his goblet, taking a sip. Oh how he loved Pumpkin Juice.

"Hi, Henric!" Dylan replied as the boy introduced himself. "I'm Dylan." He added with a smile. The kid seemed really friendly and Dylan liked it, having a good feeling they'd get along well.

Kace raised his eyebrows at Noel and laughed humorously, "Oh really now? Hmm mate you might to excel in divination because you did make an awesome prediction." he grinned and nudged him back. As he was whispering in code, he saw Noel's face and was glad he knew what he was talking about. He was relieved it was so on, "I am glad it is still on. It is gonna be epic! Oh? Toby is here. Where is he I haven't seen him yet..." he asked looking around again. Maybe he was socializing with other people. Who knows? But he was really excited what was in store.

Kace saw Bleu smiling at him and he returned it and went over to sit next to her. He heard about her summer and he was glad her and Dylan got to spend time together. "Well that is great. It is great for couples to spend time together." He was speaking from experience of course. "What was Dylan's family like?" he asked curiously. "Please don't tell me they were wearing all rock n' roll t-shirts." he teased just a little bit. Ah now onto Emmy and he nodded, "Yeah it was a shame. I hope we can go to Madame Puddifoot's and go on a date there. I will drag Emmy along she seemed hesitant about it and I have no idea why..." he trailed off. He was curious but Bleu didn't need to say anything about it if she didn't want to.

Speaking of Bleu's boyfriend, Dylan made his entrance and he rolled his eyes playfully and only Dylan would leave his guitar on the train. "Only you would do that mate!" he teased and gave him a one armed hug. "I am glad you made it though on time.." he told him. "The rest of your summer went alright? I mean I heard Bleu visited your family. Man you guys are getting really serious now huh?" he winked and nudged him playfully.

The big puff heard Lux's comment and he raised his eyebrows and turned his head at his shock of news. "Woaaahhh you rock climbed?! Where was I?" He might have been getting food. That was a possibility. Kace waved her off and said, "Don't worry I am sure. We can study together. I mean come on your like the Queen Nerd. I will need some help with study. If she is mad at me.." he shrugged and continued, "Then I will make it up to her somehow." With probably lots of candy and such. How did he not know Cutty sold candy. He scoffed and said, "How did I not know this!? Like have I been living under a rock?" Now he needed to ask the slytherin. "I am gonna test it out. I hope he sells good candy.." he only hoped. "Well I am gonna be there and help you out. I will make you a better flyer.." he promised his fellow puff. "We will start next week after first week of classes.." he said so they can settle in plus with his NEWTS workload he is gonna need a stress reliever.

Kace chuckled at Henric when he made his way over to him. He seemed like a popular newbie even though he didn't look like a first year. "Yup we will just ask the head of house to make the club." he joked a little bit. Not a lot of people would be in it but that is why it was unique right? He chuckled at the kid's fear of the rumors. "Well actually we are protected going underneath like the underground tunnel passage. You will only loose your head if you are above ground and trying to enter it through the grounds. Apparently it can leave you nasty gashes on your cheeks.." he said. Not gonna lie to this newbie right here. "So tell me what are you most excited for this term?" he asked. He started off with this topic. "You excited for the classes?"


Then he heard a really high pitched bubbly voice and he turned around and noticed it was Margo! He grinned and gave her another bear hug. She was like the little sister he never had. "Heyy Margo, I am doing great! I am just happy to be back and seeing you guys again.." He was smiling so big it was ridiculous. "You excited for the new term?" he asked.


Now onto Sophia who was laughing when he kept ruffling her hair. It was just so much fun to do. He frowned when he remembered that little piece of info.
"Oh rightt well you know what you can find someone at Hogwarts. I am sure of it. I mean I did. Don't give up hope.." he tried to cheer her up and gave her another tight hug. "Where is Savannah at?" he asked looking around.

"I'm fine, I just..." He didn't want to sound like a child, but he wasn't a liar, "I miss my mom, I didn't get a chance to say goodbye at the station and well... She'll probably be embarrassed when she hears I've been place here..." He didn't really want to talk about his dislike of his father being the main cause, but he knew his mother had hoped he'd be in the same house as her.

He looked up and gave a small nod, "Thanks..." Though, not really. He didn't want to be here. He shouldn't be in the yellow, he should be in green like his mother was, it wasn't right for him to be here! Philipe looked at the boy, "I'm Philipe, Philipe Chev." He gave a small nod, "And you are?"
