"My name is Gaia. I am a Hogwarts Head Girl. You are Snow and You went after my friend Magnus." Gaia looked the boy in the eye "You have potential for great things, but you will need to learn better control of what you have been taught. It will make your time in school a lot easier." With that Gaia smiled at them both "You can join us. Alarico is bringing our food out!" She clapped and grabbed the girl by the hand pulling her towards the table.

Snow blinks then chuckles...

"Hi.." Then look stunned as she was dragged to the table and looked back at Nik. "Uh...I?"

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperhogsmeade.png[/img]Harper watched the exchange and bit her lip. She decided it might be best to stay out of it. She took out a piece of parchment, and a quill and busied herself writing down all the names of those she wanted to shop for that day.

When Aquilino brought her water, she smiled back up at him. She tried not to blush, but failed. "Thanks again."

She looked up as she saw Gaia and the others heading towards their table. She sent down her quill and bit her lip, hoping the tension between them would dissipate.

Nik looked stunned, this was not the reaction he was expecting, and he looked at Snow with a wtf look on his face as he followed Gaia. He called back over his shoulder to the man "v-vodka, if you have it."

((Wait I am confused. I thought you said it was a new girl ))

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperhogsmeade.png[/img]"Keep this up, Gaia, and we'll have to put all the tables here together," she said, surprising herself. She looked from Gaia to Snow and Nik. "Hi there! I'm Harper."

(( its a new character but shes been at Hogwarts sense she was 11...shes 15! LOL XD

EDIT gifted she has really been trying to hide under the radar till today! LOL XD poor thing!))

Nik tried to clear his face and focus on the lady who was at the table. Nik gave her a short bow, and said "Nice to meet you, Harper. I am Nikolai Romanov, and this is my friend Snow. May we be seated...? "

(( AAAHHHHHHH okay I get it now lol my bad XD Gaia should totally know that.))

((I fixed it XD))

(( yes..yes I am snow...nods I am snow is good...except when it is snowing..then it is we are snow..I am one with snow....LOL :D))

Snow looked stunned but smiled a little she had never been invited so vigorously to a table. "Hi, nice to meet you..." She looked up at the twins. "T-thank you..yes please..." She had seen Gaia but she didnt know she was this popular...the table looked like it had been playing musical chairs all morning.

She looked at Nik and chuckled, "Can you drink in Russia? is that why you tried to order a vodka?"

“Yeah just a bit.” He said in response to Paddy’s inquiry about his shopping. "But I’m not showing you, it will ruin the surprise.” Fade’s eyes lit up when Aquilino delivered the fizzy cranberry drink to the table. “Oh, thanks!” But he didn’t have time to take a sip as more people were arriving and finding seats. “Hiya Harper, long time no see.” () He grinned at her before turning his attention to the unfamiliar face beside her. () “Hey there, I’m Fade.” He gave a small wave but quickly diverted eye contact toward the puppy getting settled beside . Once again before he had much time to fawn over the fuzzy fur baby, was getting up and inviting yet more people, the same people who had upset Magnus, over to sit with them.

As interested as he was in the ears atop the girls head, () he found himself falling short of things to say in the the uneasy presence of the strange older boy from earlier. () Had he just ordered vodka? How old was he anyway? Well, whatever, not like it was any of his business. Instead of asking Fade leaned over and finally tried a sip of the specialty drink he had been delivered earlier. It was tart and bubbly with a hint of sweet, very delicious and probably not the only one he would have today.

[img align=left]https://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b174/theatticbox/harperhogsmeade.png[/img]"Nice to meet you too, Nikolai. And you too, Snow," she said and blinked. "Sure, pull up a chair!"

She huffed at Aquilino looking over her shoulder. She stuck her tongue out at him and rolled up her parchment.

"Maybe next year!"

She beamed when the food was served. Finally, time to eat! She helped herself to a burrito and waited until the salsas arrived to eat.

((OOC sorry guys, didnt know you were at the table. )

Nik heard the man call out "orange juice it is " when he tried to order vodka, and he sighed. He hated orange juice..maybe Snow would like it.

Nik turned to Snow " Oh yes, there is no drinking age minimum in Russia...everyone drinks since they were young."

"thank you," Nik said, and took a seat. What did the head girl mean, he needed better control over what he had been taught...? Nik looked thoughtful. He had executed those spells perfectly. No matter, he would think on it later, and he turned his attention back to Harper and any others that were sitting around the table.

EDIT

Nik wondered just how the hairy person was going to respond to him..if indeed it was a werewolf, it had good hearing and probably heard the conversation earlier outside with Magnus.

Fade smirked . “I could have guessed. But like, why didn’t I meet them over break when I visited the farm? Or did I? And you used a memory charm on me like some kinda Lockhart wana be?” He made a very disappointed face but quickly broke into a small laugh instead. There was much too much good food and company to keep him down for long.

Snow nodded greetings still with shocked stunned eyes. "Hullo..nice to meet you."

She settled Duddits, her duckling, on her lap as all the people and food was exciting him. The looked at Nik

"The most alcoholic drink we can have here is Butterbeer...sorry...do they drink to stay warm in Russia?" asking a genuine question.

She then looked at Gaia admiring her hair. "I like your hair..very pretty." then over to Fade "As is yours...I kept mine mostly black last term." She looked down thinking that was a dumb thing to say.

She looked at Harper "Preparing a Christmas list?" she said nervously.

She then looked at Elizabeth and smiled feeling relieved she recognized someone from her house who looked uncomfortable too.

She then looked over at Paddy, wanting to say and ask so much, but just smiled "Hello."

((If we (Nik and I) poof we ran to the store..all this taco talk..made me hungry! but we will be back soon)

[img align=left]http://i.imgur.com/P4yiyjd.png[/img] "Then maybe you should come for Christmas! These fine men will be there. Mom is forcing Alarico to cook. Besides there is a super cute pet waiting for his friends to go visit! POP is so big now!" () She turned to Snow curiously "Thank you! I have a thing for changing my hair color all the time. I have kind of been known for it. Never the same color two days in a row. Such a no-no in fashion when you are magical!" Gaia giggled "I love your hair. You should allow yourself to be free. Wolves are very beautiful creatures, but if you ever wants to change your hair let me know." ()

She listened to the girl talking to the boy named Fade, then couldnt help herself. "Whats a POP?"
