That was a loaded question but hell perhaps he was ready for his first day at Hogwarts again, it had been so long since he sat in a class and just simply learned. The countless days of chasing down dark wizards was a job and a passion, but he did yearn for something more simple some days and this seemed like the ticket.

[b]"It should be an experience Ceres."[/b]

As Crixus feigned a smile one of the other students spoke softly of him wondering who he was. He walked up casually as he smiled and spoke to her.

[b]"My name is Crixus, but you can just call me Crix, I am a new transfer student here from a smaller academy. Its a pleasure to meet you..."[/b]

Crixus cut himself off not really knowing the younger girls name, she spoke softly towards him again saying that her name was Sasha. He nodded with another brilliant smile that was probably giving Ceres more ammo to fire at him later on.

[b]"Its a pleasure Sasha, if it is not too rude I am smelling some rather delicious food and if I have but one thing its an appetite."[/b]

Crixus spoke less enthusiastically but still with a hint of excitement as he stole away and sat down at the table, Ceres continued to talk to other students, she sure did know a lot of people at Hogwarts. She was a lot like Katie in a lot of respects, friends, smiles, happiness, cheerful deposition even in darkest of times. It was almost ridiculous how she rather mirrored her in so many ways and yet was so different in other ways, good ways. Crixus picked up a nearby cup of juice and downed it thirstily, his throat was drier then a desert, he immediately poured himself another glass and drank it down. Looking down the table he saw a bowl of fresh green apples, looking around silently everyone was busy chatting and having breakfast, with a flick of his arm an apple flew from the bowl and smacked his hand, taking a large bite out of it he savored the juices. Rolling his eye's under the sunglasses he chastised himself yet again about his impeccable verbal skills. If I have one thing its an appetite, who the hell just says that to someone they just meant, maybe he should have just played the silent silent new year students instead of the talkative one.

He had also sort of brushed her off a little too, that was a tad rude too, he should have been more accommodating, but he wasn't used to talking to so many new people all the time, especially younger people, hell he didn't even do that when he was an actual student at Hogwarts. It wasn't long before Crixus happened to look sideways out of curiosity of Ceres's location when he realized Sasha was sort of looking at him. Crixus raised his hand and waved silently looking away trying not to look back, his cheeks were slightly red, he hoped to god she was just curious about who he was, she wasn't looking at him for any other reason right? It was ridiculous to think she was looking at him for any other reason, right? Why the hell am I asking myself so many bloody questions? Jesus. Your a bloody Auror, you can take someone looking at you. Crixus reached forward to grab another cup of juice and ended up missing the glass when he diverted his eye's back to Sasha knocking the cup over.

[b]"Bloody hell and all."[/b]

Crixus cursed lightly to himself under his breath thankful the spot across from him was empty, smacking himself in the forehead lightly he shook his head to himself. Good game Crixus, good game your really beating them back now. Crixus sighed to himself as he went to take a bite of his apple to realize he had lost the damn thing. Looking around the table he tried to find his apple but it was gone, he diverted his attention to the floor but alas it was too late, a Slytherin student hit the apple and went down on their butt spilling their drink all over them. Crixus must have knocked the damn thing off when he spilled his drink, turning his attention away from the spill he acted like he had no idea what was going on as a chorus of laughs went off from the other tables. When he felt the finger on his shoulder he turned silently to see a rather tall butch looking Slytherin holding an apple towards him.

[b]"This yours transfer boy..."[/b]

That was the voice of a pissed of person, Crixus raised his eye brows at the boy beyond his sunglasses and shook his head without the slightest hint he was lieing.

[b]"Can't say it is, probably got dropped by a student somewhere it is breakfast after all. Might as well toss it, footprints don't mix with apples."[/b]

Crixus turned back around as he resumed going for the other breakfast items but sneers certainly do seem to speak louder then words, turning the larger boy now had two larger students one either side of him and they were all looking at him.

[b]"Your new here so consider this a break, but next time you lose an apple you better make sure its not where Alan Hornboggle is walking or else."[/b]

Crixus snorted uncontrollably as the last name was spoken he quickly tried to pass it off as something else, he realized that this was someone he actually knew, his father worked at the Ministry, his father always talked about his son like he was a rising jewel and to see him now was almost too funny for words.

[b]"My name funny transfer boy?"[/b]

Crixus shook his head and turned back towards the table, he was not afraid of some two bit Slytherin bully, reaching forward he went to grab something else to eat when a large hand reached down and grabbed what he was going to get and crushed it. Then the same hand dropped it in front of him in little pieces. Was this like a threat or something he wondered, Crixus turned again sighing with rolling eye's as this wasn't going to end anytime soon.

[b]"As much as I just love company, I am afraid I like to eat alone so you should move along now."[/b]

The would be bully opened his mouth to speak but Crixus had already turned around, with just the slightest flick of his arm as he turned the Slytherin boys pants fell to his ankles revealing the muggle like underwear beneath. The entire room broke out in a fit of laughter as the boy quickly bent down to pull his pants up, with another subtle arm movement there was a tearing noise indicating the boys under wear had split in the back when he bent. The Slytherin boy quickly pulled up his pants red in the face.

[b]"This isn't over transfer boy! Mark my words!"[/b]

The Slytherin boy quickly high tailed it out of the main hall, Crixus buried his face in his hands and started to shake like he was crying but he was merely trying to stifle the laughing fit he had put himself into.

[b]"Oh hell this is going to be a fun first day after all."[/b]

Crixus spoke to himself as he chuckled and quickly reposed himself, reaching over this time he grabbed another green apple and took a bite out of it.

[b]"Ah nothing like a crisp green apple on a cool morning."[/b]
