[color=fff200]"That's cool. My summer was...uh...pretty boring. I can't carry my wand with me, so I just kind of hung around with my parents, visited some relatives, watched the news on the television...you know, the box with the screen that shows a moving image of somebody else? I think I explained that one already."[/color] Never in a million years did Halle think she'd have to explain the [i]television[/i] to her best friend. 'Twas life in the wizarding world, she supposed. [color=fff200]"I kind of wanted to lock myself in my room and try some spells, but I don't want to risk breaking the Ministry of Magic's laws. I'd rather not get expelled,"[/color] she said with a sad grin. [color=fff200]"But overall, pretty boring. Not the worst, though.I could think of a lot of ways it could be worse."[/color] She addressed [s]hot stuff[/s] Damian's question with glee. [color=fff200]"This year? I mean, we have OWLs this year, right? That's cool. But also kind of nerve-wracking. I mean, I totally bombed Potions last year and now I'm kind of worried that I'm going to fail it this year [sub]and the same thing with Herbology they're tough classes and even the other classes that I did well in will be harder so I don't really know if I'm going to make it next year to move on with my education but overall I'm excited, but a little nervous, but excited.[/sub][/color] Halle demonstrated her ability to talk fast masterfully as she pumped out the words like a machine gun pumps bullets. Realizing she had spoke faster than what the human ear could comprehend, she gave an embarrassed blush. [sub][color=fff200]"sorry, I do that a lot,"[/color][/sub] she said quietly, before taking a seat. [color=fff200]"Anyway, I hope you guys are ready to get crushed in Quidditch this year. We Puffs are taking the House Cup,"[/color] Halle said determinedly as she waved at the newcomer to the caboose, Elliot. [color=fff200]"You don't stand a chance."[/color] [@Cole][@Cio][@Daydreamz][@Josephb] [/center]
