Kara nodded quietly as she took a cookie, they were her favorite type of cookie besides sugar cookies. "Yeah I am in Gryffindor, but I don't really know alot of people there. To be perfectly honest, I think meeting people outside of your house is probably better since they have different personalities and you don't have to worry about offending one. Because trust me tons of Gryffindors are easily offended." she replied as she took a bite of the cookie and couldn't help, but moan. Every since she left home, she hadn't had something this good.
"These are really good, thanks for sharing. I'm from Scotland actually. My friend Carlisle and I grew up in a small town called Paisley. Carlisle's a Ravenclaw. Sorry Cassidy, I'm not sure what house you're in. I only know a couple of Ravenclaws, had Erik Phantom pointed out to me and I know he's a Slytherin and a Hufflepuff." She replied pointing her thumb towards Ethan.
"Well DADA is my favorite class of all time, I just love learning that. Plus I love Muggle Studies and sometimes Divination when Trelawney isn't predicting that I am in grave danger or going to die. My least favorite is probably Potions because a) I'm so bad at it and 2) Ethan already knows this, but I am a big klutz so Snape has used that to his advantage." Kara replied with a roll of her eyes as she arranged herself in her seat to face Cassidy.
Kara couldn't help, but notice that Cassidy was very pretty and she immediately felt self-conscious about himself. She had always had low self-esteem, but having her last boyfriend remind her daily that she was fat and ugly when she actually held an average weight. She pulled her robe tightier around her average-sized body and pushed the plate of smores and cookies back towards the other two.
(ooc: yeah Kara has self-esteem problems right now, so don't think I just made that up...well I did, but Kara has always had it.)

Cassidy nodded. "Yes, I understand, I mean, I know quite alot of people, Including a girl named Kylie who just left, she had problems. She never liked herself." She shrugged. "And then there's Annie. Annie is very very pretty, smart and cheerful. I have no idea why she was placed in Slytherin. Just like Erik, I'm sure they'd get along fine." Cassidy grinned. "Because, everyone think's it's weird, a hufflepuff, me, dating a slytherin, Erik." She laughed. "It's a small world,"
"Oh, really? No problem, I couldn't dare think of eating all of these. Scotland... I've always wanted to go there," She said, taking a sip of her hot chocolate. "I'm in Hufflepuff," She replied. "And just lost my best friend," She mutered, not very loudly. "Oh, Ethan, I think I might've seen you in the common room." She smiled at him warmly.
Cassidy laughed. "She always predicts that. She tells me I will find my parents when the time comes." Cassidy rolled her eyes. "No offence if you like her, just, she needs to come up with some actual truth." She laughed. "I am a klutz too, I fall on ice, well, no duh, and I trip over the funniest things."

Kara nodded, "Yeah I love Scotland. The people there are so friendly and nice. Plus there are a million and one things to do and see there. If you want a trip away from everything and everyone, Scotland's the place to go. I can tell you a bunch of things to do. And I'm sorry about losing your best friend. I can't imagine if I lost Carlisle or something. Carlisle and I have been friends since the day his mom and my mom placed us in the same playpen together at the age of one. Wow you're dating Erik? Alexis pointed him out to me the other day in the Great Hall. He seems like he would be a good guy if you don't label or judge him. I hate people like that, who give judgement before actually doing or meeting the person." She scowled for a split second.
"Yeah Trelawney has predicted several times that I will die or that I will be in some kind of danger coming up. Snape loves to make fun of my clumsiness and it got old a long time ago." Kara replied with a snort.

Ethan grabbed a huge chocolate cookie and started to eat it. It was soft, that was his favorite, he hated hard cookies.
"Yeah, I think I have seen you around Cassidy, but I usually just keep to myself, and try not to bother people, I guess that's why a lot of people have no idea who I am." Ethan said with a laugh.
"I'm a local boy, right here in London. There's nothing exciting about me or my family, and I'm really sorry you don't know much about your parents Cassidy, that has to be hard to deal with." Ethan sighed. He didn't know what he would do if he didn't have his parents to guide and support him.
"So what happened to your friend? Did she leave as well? That's a bummer, I'm not sure why parents feel the need to take their kids out of Hogwarts, it's the safest place to be."
Ethan thought about Cassidy and Erik, they were from other houses and they seemed to get along just fine. "Do you get a lot of problems from other people judging you and your boyfriend, since he's in a different house?" Ethan asked.

(ooc: don't mind me)
Kara couldn't help, but watch Ethan's mouth twitch when Cassidy asked him a question. He talked about his home life. She felt herself wanting to get to know Ethan more. Cassidy too, especially if she was dating Erik Phantom. In all her years at Hogwarts, now was the time that she got up her courage and talked to other people. Some Gryffindor she was, she thought to herself as she twirled her finger in her now getting cold hot chocolate not really paying attention to anyone else.

Ethan turned to Kara and could see that something was bothering her, and he didn't like that. Ethan hated to see anyone upset, especially girls, because he thought they were so fragile.
"Is everything ok Kara...it's not your ankle again is it? You know I could carry you back up to the hospital wing." Erik said laughing.

Kara turned towards the voice and saw Ethan staring at her intensely with a smile on his face. She laughed and held up her right ankle high that Madame Pomfrey had fixed in three seconds earlier that day.
"No I'm good thanks again for taking me up there and nah if you had to lift me up again, then you might actually break your back. Then I'd feel bad and it wouldn't be good whatsoever since you're on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. What do you play anyways?" She asked as she reached into her pocket for her wand, but noticed that it wasn't with her. Crap, she thought, it must still be in the Common Room.
She then asked for another hot chocolate since she had let it get cold and then she turned to give Ethan another small smile. "So you're from London eh? I've never been there, what do you like about it?" She asked as she didn't notice a house-elf take her cold mug and give her a new one. She stuck a finger inside and pulled it out quickly when she realized it was the new cup of hot chocolate.
She stuck her finger in her mouth and then saw Ethan looking worried at her.
"See I told you I was clumsy before, now you have the proof yet again and I'm already one step ahead of you." Kara said with a laugh as she placed her finger into her glass of water.

Cassidy smiled. "Yeah, well, no, not really." She smiled. Kara was looking nervous, and looked as if she wanted to talk to Ethan. Maybe, she should leave. "Well, it's fine, I mean, I have foster parent's, whom are rich, but, not that it matters." Cassidy blushed. "Sorry, I should've left that out...." She rolled her eyes. "Sometimes I say the stupidest things." She shook her head and finsished her first cookie.
Yup, Cass should leave. Kara obviously wanted some 'alone time', It was Cassidy's fault for buting in in the first place. "Well, I better go," She said. "It was my fault for butting in, I ruined the combo," She laughed. "Anyway, I'll see you guys around."

Ethan looked up as Cassidy said she was leaving. "Cass, you don't have to leave." Ethan hated that he was leaving her out of the conversation.
"Well, there's nothing really exciting about London. I mean if your not from here, than I can see why you might find it fun, but not really. This is really a dreary place, always rainy and such." Ethan said to both of them.
"Rich foster parents huh. That must be nice having some money you can just throw around, I hate that their not your real parents. I'm sure that has to be hard on you. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"

Kara immediately felt bad. "No it's okay Cassidy you don't have to leave. You didn't ruin anything. I'll just go if you two want to talk or something. I already hogged Ethan earlier today, you two can chat if you want. I do need to get to bed even though I am not really tired." She replied feeling self-conscious again as she stood up from the table.
"Thanks for the smores and cookies." She said and then mentally kicked herself. What a rambling fool you are, she thought to herself.
(ooc: sorry not trying to be dramatic, but that's all i could think of having Kara doing. She's insecure lol)

Ethan looked at his watch. "Well, I really should get to bed as well. Maybe I can escort you both back to your houses." Ethan said standing up.
As soon as he stood up a house elf cleared his cup of cold coffee and the plate of smores and cookies, since it was empty now.
Ethan chuckled. "Well Cassidy, it was very nice to meet you. Kara, it's always a pleasure to spend time with you. So shall I escort you to your houses?"

Kara looked up surprised as Ethan stood up tall and suggested that he escort her back to Gryffindor Tower.
"You are more than welcome as always to Ethan. It's always nice to see you too. That's very nice of you to offer." She replied with a small smile trying not to be obvious around Cassidy. She didn't want Cassidy to feel let out or feel like the third wheel. She had been there, done that before and she knew how that feel. And it sucked.
She shook her head as she watched Ethan stand next to her.

Ethan walked next to Kara and stuck out his left elbow for her. He turned to look at Cassidy.
"I have another arm you know." Ethan said with a smile on his face. Ethan was just an easy going guy and tended to get along with everyone. He hoped that Kara wouldn't get the wrong impression, because he knew she was semi-conscious, but she knew what his personality was.
(ooc: we should probably wait for Roxxie to reply)

Kara gave him a warm smile as she laced her arm through his once more. Once again, she felt a spark when her skin touched his, even if it was very gently. She knew he was a friendly guy, and she also could tell that he knew his boundaries too with women and she liked that. If it was one thing she didn't like, it would be perverted men who didn't know the meaning of the word no.
She let out a yawn and then turned towards Cassidy.
(ooc: sounds good to me)

Cassidy smiled. "Oh yes, It's very nice to have rich parents." She giggled. She smiled at Kara. Then she relized she hadn't spoke for awhile. Her fault. She blushed. "Oh, sorry, I spaced out." She giggled. "Oh, thank you Ethan. But, wouldn't we want to excort Kara to her dorm first, because we're both in Hufflepuff?" She asked, taking his right arm.
