Just as Lizzy was about to answer Swaroop, Kitty awoke. "Kitty, this is Swaroop. He is the head boy in Hogwarts." Lizzy turned back to Swaroop and said. "Yes, I am. But it has been a very tiring week. I'm still having trouble with divination."
Mod
'Well I didn't concentrate much on Divination when I was studying.But I can have few of my geek friends help you out with all your doubts' he said and laughed.
"Geek friends! Haha, you sure must study a lot!" Lizzy said
Mod
"Oh, quidditch. I signed up to play, but no one relied. Where is the rest of team anyways? Don't they practise much?" Asked Lizzy.
Mod
"Oh really? I'd love to!" Lizzy exclaimed.

I enter the common room and head straight for my favourite armchair by the fire. Curling up, I reach into my bag and dig out my new eagle-feathered quill I ordered from Flourish and Blotts, my ink pot, and a roll of fresh parchment. Balancing the ink on the arm of the chair, I dip my nib into it and begin to write, leaning the parchment on my lap. "Dear Morgana and Morgause,
I arrived at Hogwarts today. The castle is nice, it sort of reminds me of home. It's strange though, being so far away from Albion without you both here with me. I wish you could come and visit, but I don't think the teachers allow that. I met my Head of House earlier, she seems nice if somewhat a little strict. Oh yes, that reminds me. I was sorted into Gryffindor, I think Arthur would be proud. It's a house for the 'brave' and 'chivalrous' with a Lion for its emblem. The colours are red and gold, the same as the uniform for the Knights. It's strange to see them representing something completely different. I start my classes tomorrow, I hope I do okay in them. I'm really looking forward to Transfiguration, it sounded brilliant when I heard about it. I'm not so much looking forward to Potions though, you know what I'm like when it comes to mixing the right ingredients together! Anyway, it's getting late and Fleck is getting impatient so I guess I'll finish up. He's got a long flight to get to you so I suppose the least I can do is give him a lighter load as possible. Can't wait to hear from you both!
All my love,
Elaina"
I set down my quill and wait a few minutes for the ink to dry, gently blowing on the parchment to help it dry quicker. Then I delicately roll it up and attach it to Fleck's outstretched leg. Before he leaves, I give him an owl treat from my pocket and a fond stroke on his little, fluffy head. He hoots softly and spreads his wings, preparing for flight. I stand and open the window set into the wall of the tower, watching as my little friend soars off into the night's sky to deliver my eagerly-awaited letter to my sisters. I smile and close the window before returning to my seat at the fire where I proceed to read my Advanced Transfiguration book I borrowed from the library.
"Hello there! Are you new? I saw you writing a letter just now. My name is Lizzy." Lizzy introduced herself as she sat on the opposite armchair.
I look up from my book to see a fellow Gryffindor student sat opposite me. She introduces herself as Lizzy. I smile at her. "Yes, I'm new." I say. "I'm Elaina, seventh year." I offer her my hand in a gesture of friendship. "I just got here today, I was writing to my sisters to let them know I arrived safely." I smile again, this time to myself, as I picture the faces of Morgana and Morgause. I miss them already but I'll see them again soon, I suppose.
"Oh, that's nice of you. Are they your younger sisters? Why didn't they come also?"
I shake my head. "No, they're both older than me. Morgana is 25 and Morgause is 28. It was their idea to send me here for my last year." I tell Lizzy.
"Oh, that's interesting. Well, I hope you enjoy your last year here! Swaroop is in his last year also. You might bump into him sometime in the corridors!" Lizzy said with a cheerful smile.
I smile. "That would be nice. I was really hoping to make friends quickly, and it seems I already have!" As an afterthought, I reach into my bag once more and produce a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans that I bought in Honeydukes before I came up to the school. I offer them to Lizzy. "Would you like one?" I ask.
"Why, yes thank you." Lizzy said as she rumbled through the box. She was trying not to pick anything nasty. Last time she had eaten them, she got a boogers flavoured bean. She took a nice looking one out and smelt it then popped it in her mouth. As she chewed through it, her smile faded and she started screaming. "Noooo!! This tastes disgusting!" And she spit it out.
"sorry! I forgot that you didn't like sour foods!" I said, worried. "That's okay. Just remember next time," she responds, making a bittersweet face.
I laugh even though I shouldn't. "I'm sorry, sometimes you can get really nice ones but you can never be too sure." I reach into the box and dig out a golden looking bean, thinking it will be toffee, but when I begin to chew it I screw my whole face up. "Eurgh, vomit!" I exclaim as I try not to heave at the vile taste in my mouth.
Amelia walks into the common room. She looks around the room. She doesn't see anyone she knows well, so she sits down in a chair. She had just come from the hospital wing were she helps out a lot. She loved helping people feel better.
"Well Elaina, I'm pretty sure you won't be too eager to eat another bean!" Lizzy laughed.
Amelia looks out the window. She was used to being ignored. She looks into the night sky.
((Anna, I'm actually starting to get a bit annoye of ur role-playing. U shouldn't act all miserable! Get in the conversations.talk to ppl around skl. I've tried helping u, but u r like living in ur own world. Just try and be brave! And start talking to ppl u don't know))
(Okay I was going for her to be shy though bu I'll have her try it) (sorry)Amelia looks over at the girls. "Hi," she says shyly. She was trying to make friends.
((Its ok. I'm just sort of easily annoyed.))"Hi Anna, I'm sure you don't remember me, but we've met before! It's Lizzy."
I laugh at Lizzy's comment and then smile as I see a shy looking girl approach. "Hey, I'm Elaina," I say. "What's your name?"
"Hi Lizzy," Amelia said. She smiled. Then she turned to face the other girl. "I'm Amelia."
"Amelia, you wanna try a bean?" Lizzy asked and pointed to the box in Elaina's hands.
"Uh, sure," Amelia says. She was kinda scared of getting a bad bean but she'd try away.
It was a weird flavor, almost petrifying. "UH, I don't think she likes it," Mursal smiles, looking at the steam coming out of Amelia's ears.
((Mursal, ur not reli supposed to be playing another person's character. Anna can choose what she wants to say. U hv to create a character and role play with it. :-) ))
I see the look of hesitation on Amelia's face. "Don't worry, they're not all bad." I say reassuringly. "I'm Elaina by the way," I add, offering a smile.
She smiled. "thanks," she said. Amelia put one in her mouth. She tried. She got lucky. Carmel. "this one doesn't taste bad."
"Aww... You lucky girl! How did you get that? What colour was it?" Lizzy asked
"It was a Carmel tan color," she said. Amelia smiled. She was glad to finally have friends.
"Oh... you are soooo lucky!!! I'll remember to choose that colour next time then. But for now, I'll leave the beans. They haunt me!" Lizzy laughed.
Amelia smiled. "That was my first every flavor bean ever."
"Really! How come?" Lizzy asked as her smile faded.
Taylor walked into the common room and sees 3 girls sitting in big armchairs with a box of every flavor beans between them
Amelia shrugs. "I've never been brave enough to try them."
"Haha, well I guess you won't be afraid from now on considering your luck." Lizzy said as she noticed a girl walking in. "Hey there! What's your name?"
"Oh, hi I'm Taylor!" Taylor said as he walked towards the huddle of girls.
Amelia smiled at Taylor. "I'm Amelia. Nice to meet you," she says.
"so what's your favorite class?" she asked Taylor.
"Transfiguration! I also like potions even though I hate the professor!" Taylor said while laughing.
"I like history of muggles," Amelia said. She smiled.
