Andrew laughed hard, almost as if to counter act the fact that he wanted to get up and hit the girl behind him. "I'm sorry professor. Please. Continue." He said while giving his usual fake smile. Andrew turned back to his own books and began scribbling just random circles to keep himself preoccupied. He began to drum his fingers on his desk, also trying to preoccupy himself some more. He really just wanted to be excused. The professor had dismissed the class and Andrew had gotten up, grabbing his one book and began to walk out of the class.

Sebastian's head began to fall backwards, falling asleep. A loud snore was heard from him, which even woke himself back up. The professor looked around the room and dismissed the class.
"Because I am not going to get you group of kids to listen. I guess I just might as well end the class here. Next time you kids come to the class I want to see you focused." He said with a huff
Sebastian' head perked up when he heard that class was dismissed and he got up from his seat, and began to stuff his books into his bag. "Well...That was a nice nap." He said out loud to himself.

Alyssa looked at Andrew as he kept laughing, like if it was something funny happening which it wasn't. She shooked her head seeing that the class has been dismissed, she grabbed her books holding it close to her chest as she walked out of the class, rolling her eyes at Andrew and walking away towards her next class.

Jake was not late, but he was at the office with the professors, he had an excuse to why he came at this time. Atleast he didn't get detention. Jake sighed as she walked out of the office and now towards his next class. He had Schedule number two. Potions was his first class which he missed, but he will have to do that class on his first 'free' class on his schedule. And now he made his way to Herbology, seeing that there weren't not much people inside. He sat down on a chair taking out his books to begin the lesson.

Serena nodded as she walked with Alin.

"Her name was Ember and I think we're going to be great friends." She smiled cheerfully. Her eyes fell on Alin's hand."Alin? Are you alright? Do you need to go to the Hospital Wing? I can walk you there." She asked with concern. "Let me carry some of your books." She grabbed some of his load to make it easier for him. She watched him with worried eyes.

"Also Alin, you know if you need anything I'm right here. Don't feel like you're alone, I'm your best friend. And best friends stick together remember?" They were just arriving at the Herbology classroom when Serena pulled Alin to the side. She hoped he would let her help him. She knew being alone was painful and she couldn't bare seeing Alin in pain.

Jo rolled her eyes again at Andrew's comment, and looked back at her fingers. When the class had started, she'd paid very close attention to what the professor was saying. She even took some notes and asked a couple of legit questions. When they were dismissed, she gathered her things with a small grin on her face, and headed to Charms. She saw a couple of people on the way, but she decided to not make eye contact.

"They just seriously got us all dismissed..." Ellis muttered as he gathered his books. This is not going to be a good standing impression... Ellis creaked the door open as he exited class, slightly frowning.

"Huh?" Alin would say, noticing that his hand was on his head. Lowering his hand, he shook his head. "I'm really sorry, I've been out of it all day. I'm okay, I don't need to go." He didn't argue when she helped him carry his books, though. He wanted to tell Serena what was bothering him, but he was deeply afraid that she'd make fun of him. There were others who had it much worse than him, they didn't go around complaining about it and moping around, so he shook his head and forced a smile onto his face. He gently grabbed his books back from Serena, thanking her quietly. He would just hide it, he decided, he could let his emotions out when he was alone.

"Okay, I-..I..." Even after all the kindness Serena had already shown him, he still found it hard to think that someone like her would go through the trouble of being friends with him. Could Serena really care about him as much as she said she did? He felt horrible about worrying her, but he couldn't lie to her, not ever. Even if he tried to, she'd see right through it, he was a horrid liar. He released the forced smile from his mouth and looked her in the eye, not pretending anymore. "It's just the things that the caretaker at the orphanage said to me before I left, they just really bore into me this time. I don't know why, he'd said it all before and it didn't bother me nearly this much. I'm just being a ninny, I know, and I'm sorry. It's just hard for me not to believe them when my entire life I've been told that no one would ever want me." They still had a little bit until class started, and Alin put his hands up to cover his face. "I'm sorry, please don't hate me, I'm being a selfish idiot."

Storm grabbed her stuff and stood up and she walked out of the potions class room. She looked at her class list and sighed I suck at Herbology. She thought as she walked

Sebastian made his way to Herbology with a giant smile on his face. Something he was actually glad to be in, it wasn't that he enjoyed the plants but he enjoyed the professor from the year prior, and who knows maybe he will meet someone who's pretty cool there. He fixed his hair a bit and kept a smile from ear to ear on. He waved to people who were passing by him if they made eye contact with him. When he finally made it to his classroom he took a seat, and began to put on the necessary over dress for the class. The dirty smock made him look ten times bigger than his slender frame ever would look.

Andrew followed one of the girls out who seemed to not be making eye contact with anyone. "Hey there sweetie" he said with a giant fake smile on his face. "Where you heading to, love?" He asked while wrapping his arm around her waist. "Maybe I can hold your books for you?" He said with an even bigger smile.

"Alin!" Serena spoke a little louder than before "Listen to me. You're not selfish at all. I hate to see you so down on yourself. You're amazing, wonderful, and my best friend. Please don't ever think otherwise. And Alin, if ever you're down or upset, you can count on me. Promise me you won't keep your sadness inside again. I'm going to do something about the orphanage okay? You trust me right?" She looked at him with her bright blue eyes and smiled. Her eyes said she was up to something.

"We better get to class, come here Alin." She hugged him briefly and walked into Herbology. A class I'm good at, she thought to herself. She grabbed a seat toward the back and motioned for Alin to sit beside her. She grinned at him again. She didn't care how long it would take, she would make him happy.

With a jolt, Alin understood that perhaps she did really care about him. The entire time that they knew each other, she'd only tried to help him be happy. Even though she'd been able to make him feel better for the most part about everything, Alin had been so engulfed in his feelings that he hadn't tried to make the vital push himself that was needed to dispel his self-pity. Nothing would get better if he kept up this attitude and he wouldn't fulfill his dreams either, he realized. Though he wouldn't be able to magically dispel his sadness, even with his wand, he mentally decided that he'd make the effort to stop being such a bummer about it. Looking at her, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Of course I trust you, you're my best friend. I promise that I won't hide anything like that from you, and I also promise that I'll stop being so mopey, okay?" He even hugged her back a bit this time, and followed along into the class, sitting beside her. The small smile was still plastered on his face.

When Potions class was over she stuck to the crowd, blending in perfectly. No one noticed her which was what she wanted. She had herbology next and noticed some of the people she saw from before head to that class. Including Serena. She made sure to avoid her since she seemed to be busy. She entered the classroom and sat in her usual seat in the back. She had a soft spot in her heart for Herbology.

Storm reached the Herboloy class room and took a seat next to a guy (Sebastian). She grabbed a smock and pulled it on. She set her stuff down onto the floor quickly then sat back up and pushed her blue and purple hair from her face.

Ellis wandered into the Herbology, and took a seat. I think this will be a good class, it's an interesting one.

Serena was filled with a joyous feeling. This year was going to be wonderful. She couldn't wait. Eve walked in and Serena waved at her.

"Hey Eve!" She giggled and turned back to Alin, her best friend. She had so many surprised for him, she wanted to burst out and tell him everything. Except everything wasn't ready, and she'd hate to ruin the surprise. Serena was in an extremely good mood, everything was going right. Quidditch practice was even coming up soon. That was where she would show the world that the Hufflepuff house is wonderful and worthy of praise. She could feel it between her fingers. Soon no one would be picking on Hufflepuffs. Serena couldn't stop grinning. She was a beacon of happy energy that could light up the whole room. Her eyes glittered with joy.

Jake, the slytherin, sat down on the tables on his class. He noticed most people coming into the class, but he knew most of them. One of them being Sebastian. A smile formed on his face as he waved at Sebastian, good to see his friend. As he stared back at the book, getting ready for the lesson.

Alyssa rolled her eyes listening to Andrew flirting with the girls. "He is such a jerk." She thought to herself and now making herself to her second class while still listening to Andrew's 'flirting' . Which it was a little whack.

Seeing Serena so happy made Alin feel happy too, and the smile on his face grew even larger. Maybe this year wouldn't be all that bad. He could face going back to the orphanage when the time came, but for now all that really mattered was that he was here at Hogwarts with his best friend. It was fascinating how Serena could completely turn around his mood in such a short time, and he was glad for it. Maybe he would be able to make her happy, too, as she did for him. He silently pledged to himself that he'd do everything he could to be the best friend possible to the girl.

As the class started, Alin found it hard to focus very much, his mind was in a flurry. Two emotions swirled around, sadness and happiness, but the happy feeling far overthrew the sadness, and he felt better than he had in awhile. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't erase the small smile from his face.

Josephine frowned when the boy followed her out and started to bother her. "Don't call me that, ever." She slapped away the arm that was around her waist and sped up. "I have Charms next," She said, "and hopefully you won't be there." The last part was barely audible, but she was certain that he had heard her.

Sebastian smiled wide and waved to Jake, an old friend of his from years passed. Sebastian moved his area from where he was standing over to where Jake was. "So. How are you?" He said with genuine smile. "Did you enjoy your summer off?" He asked while toying with his hair a bit. "I enjoyed mine thoroughly."

Andrew smiled his devious smile and followed behind her "Aw come on, I'm only trying to be nice!" He once again caught up to her. "I'm going there too, here!" He took her books from her and smiled widely. "Let me hold your books! It's my pleasure!" He said "I mean, might as well help out such a pretty girl!"

Alyssa sighed as she made her way to Charms class. And then she sat down on a chair looking over to Andrew as he tried to be good with these girls but it was plain stupid, he had to stop and be a real gentleman and stop flirting for a single day. She felt bad for the girl, but she managed to handle herself. Alyssa flipped her hair to her right shoulder as she would take out her Charms book and began the lesson! Besides, that's her favorite subject!

Jake smiled at Sebastian and waved back. It was nice seeing the guy! Plus he had changed, a good change too. "I'm good...I had to arrive a little late, so on the free period... I have to go to our first class in our schedule." he sighed shaking his head but then looked back at Sebastian smiling at him, showing his pearly white teeth! "Yeah, It went good. It wasn't like SUPER fun. But it was nice." Jake laughed softly. "Yeah, you always have good summers! But, it's nice to have you back, Sebastian." he said ruffling Sebastian's hair! "Well. We are off to class, hm?" The Slytherin asked raising an eyebrow .

Storm braided a strand of her hair out of boredom. She had no one to talk to
