Ethan turned to Kara. "Are you sure you don't mind sitting at the Hufflepuff table?"
Ethan pulled a plate towards him and started loading it up with baked chicken, and friend potatoes, and green beans. He took a big whiff of his food and smiled, everything here smelled so wonderful.
"How often do you keep in touch with your brother and sister? That has to be hard that your sister was wanting to come here and didn't get in. I bet she can be a pain since she didn't get what she wanted."

Kara shook her head no as she grabbed a plate and started to fill up her plate. She didn't realize how hungry she really was.
"No I do not mind at all sitting over here. Mind as well get use to it right?" She asked winking at him playfully.
"Not that much, my brother and I are closer than my sister and I. Kollin and I are three years apart. But I get an owl from him every now and then updating me on things in Scotland. My mom doesn't like me bringing up the topic of magic around the house, but my dad thinks it's all very fascinating so he and I spend hours talking. My mom is pretty strict, but my dad's the so called 'cool parent'. So do you have any brothers and sisters?" Kara asked wanting to change the subject. Her family was a bit weird.

Ethan looked at the pile of food on Kara's plate. "Your not hungry are you. I like a girl who isn't afraid to eat." Ethan said taking a huge bite of his green beans.
"You mum is the magical one right?" Ethan asked her. "That's strange that she is the one who discourages you from talking about magic. It's good that you are so close to your brother."
Ethan took ate some of his chicken before he continued. "Well I have lived in London my whole life. My parents are both magical, and my father works at The Daily Prophet, and my mother stays home. I have a younger sister who is 7, and is showing signs of magic, and a younger brother who just turned 2."

Kara grinned as she sat down next to Ethan at the Hufflepuff table. She glanced at her plate and then blushed. She normally didn't eat that much and sometimes she even skipped lunch. Old habits die hard, she thought.
"Well thanks I just take what I want to eat. There are places in Scotland that you have to force me out of the restaurant. I love fish and chips. There is this one place by my house that sells that and I will go next door to the library, grab a book, get something to eat and spend hours...and a bit of money there too." Kara replied with a laugh.
"Sorry I must sound like a huge dork. I just love to read." She said as she took a piece of her chicken and chewed it slowly in her mouth just enjoying the taste of it. She glanced over at Ethan who was chewing on his food and listening to her.
"Yeah well my mom doesn't want to upset my younger sister so that's why she does. My dad loves it. He is a teacher at the University of Glasgow and my mum works in the Ministry. And yes my family is very strange. I don't like to talk about them sometimes, isn't that terrible? Now your family sounds like an amazing family. I still babysit little kids in my neighborhood. I love kids. What kind of articles does your father write? Maybe I've read something of his." Kara asked truly interested in Ethan now.

"Well that's to bad that you don't really seem to be getting along with your family. I thin family is very important." Ethan said and dug into his lunch a little more.
"Actually my dad does the weather. He is a perfect at the spell that tells the weather. I have never got it quite right. You have to do something with you wand, and it just confuses me." Ethan replied.
"You know I love fish and chips as well. It's such an easy simple meal, but so good."
Ethan really enjoyed talking to Kara. He seemed that he could really be himself around her.

Kara nodded solemnly as she turned to stare at her food again.
"I know, but it's the honest truth. I really do want to get along with my mom, but it's hard when your mom picks favorites. And I don't think it's fair, but I do agree. Family should be extremely important. So I just do what I can I guess. I stopped trying to please her years ago. But I know they all love me, even if they don't show it or say it all the time. I'm glad you and your family are close though." She replied with a sigh.
"Your dad's the weatherman? Oh that's awesome, that'd be pretty easy once you got the hang of the spell. I bet he's had some surprises come his way then and yeah I love fish and chips. I'm a terrible cook, but I can bake okay so I just eat out whenever I can. So is there any foods you don't like?" Kara asked with a small laugh. She really enjoyed talking and spending time with Ethan. She was really looking forward to spending more time with him and even if things didn't work out, which she hoped and prayed that it would, then she would still be happy being his friend. But she had to admit, she liked him more than just a friend.

Cassidy walked into the grand hall. She had told Erik to meet her, and her new friends, at the Hufflepuff table. She had made plans to eat with them, so, she invited Erik, to meet them. Cassidy walked over, and spotted Kara, by her red hair. She sat down beside Kara. "Hey." She smiled. "How are you?" She asked Kara, and Ethan, hugging Kara slightly. "I invited Erik, if that's ok."

Kara glanced up when someone behind her and Ethan greeted them. She then smiled and saw Cassidy standing there. She then stood up as Cassidy reached down to hug her. Kara smiled and hugged her back feeling bad for the previous night.
"Hey Cassidy. I'm good how are you? I'm sorry if I came across negatively last night. I didn't mean to at all. I am not that type of person, just really shy and insecure. And cool we can meet Erik. Go ahead and start eating if you want to." Kara replied with a soft smile.

"Oh, don't be silly, Kara. You weren't like that at all." Cassidy promised. She helped herself to the salad, and some fruit. She put some cesar, and mixed it with her fork. "Oh, where is Erik? Oh yes, he said he had classes," She shook her head. "Why do I keep forgeting?"

Kara smiled at her new friend as she picked up her fork and ate some macaroni and cheese, surprised that it would be served at Hogwarts. She thought it was funny.
"That's good, I felt bad afterwards. Yeah I have a free period after lunch while Ethan has class. I'm sure Erik will show up soon, if you asked me to meet you here. He won't mind meeting two people not in his house right?" Kara asked curiously as she then turned towards Ethan and elbowed him gently and then smiled at him when he glanced over at her.

Erik rushed to the Great Hall after his lesson. He was supposed to meet Cassidy and some new people she had met the night before. He walked up to the Hufflepuff table and spotted Cass. He could hear them talking about him and a smirk came to his face.
"No I don't mind meeting people from other houses." Erik said. He was sure he probably scared the pants off them for sneaking up on them, he was very sneaky.
He sat down next to Cassidy and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Kara gasped out loud and jumped a few inches off of the table bench. She had no idea anybody was behind her! She turned her head over her shoulder to see the guy that had been pointed out to her by Alexis, kiss Cassidy's cheek and sat next to her.
"Well that's good, you must be Erik. It's nice to finally meet you, I'm Kara." Kara said holding her hand out to him. She wasn't sure if he was going to shake her hand or not, but she would still be courteous.

Erik chuckled at Kara's reaction. "I'm sorry if I startled you, I have a bad habit of sneaking up on people."
Erik reached across Cassidy and shook Kara's hand. "It's nice to meet you Kara."
Erik was glad he was spending time with Cassidy since he seemed to not have hardly any time with her lately. Erik leaned into Cassidy and whispered in her ear. "I love you."

Kara smiled as they shook hands, "Don't worry about it, my little sister likes to scare me all the time when I am back home. Cassidy was telling us a little about you, all good things though so it's nice to have a face to do with the name. Have you met Ethan yet? He's my...uhh friend I guess for right now." Kara asked turning towards Ethan for some help.
She then smiled as she watched Erik and Cassidy lean towards one another and enjoy the time they had with one another. She then smiled again as she took a bite of her food again wondering what Ethan was thinking of. She hoped she didn't offend him by pointing him out to Erik.

Ethan reached over and shook Erik's hand. "It's nice to finally met you." Ethan said. He looked over at Kara with his eyebrows raised. "Your friend." Ethan said with a chuckle. "Are we keeping things under wraps then?"
Ethan saw the way that Erik and Cassidy moved with each other, he seemed so loving and caring towards each other.
