CHICKEN LEG says: So even though we're in the same year, Dora and I didn't really meet until last year. Which is understandable, I guess, since we're in different houses and I don't really like to associate outside of my little circle of friends. Anyway, I'm minding my own fu- friggin' business one day when this scrawny little thing waltzes up to me and informs me that I'm pretty. Pretty! Like a girl! Augh. I took it as a compliment anyway and the chick kept talking to me and she was a little annoying at first, but the thing about Dora? She grows on you. Anyway, I can't fully remember how, but for some reason she came to the conclusion that I was a werewolf - can you imagine? One of those things? - and wanted to prove it, but I was like "Whatever, she'll never actually do it, and I have nothing to worry about anyway". And then she dumped liquid silver on my head. All right, I guess I sort-of deserved it. See, a bit before this, I uh... I accidentally spit gum into her hair. I'm not a big gum chewer, but I was really hungry one day and decided to see if I could trick the urge to eat by chewing gum. I tried blowing a bubble, but ended up spitting it out instead, and it landed right in Dora's hair. Yeah, whoops. I got out of there, and then I got liquid silver dumped all. over. my. hair. I know, right? Who does that? Eh, I wasn't too angry after a bit. An eye for an eye, right? Anyway, somehow this girl has become... interesting. Tolerable. Someone I really don't mind being around. She's a curious little bugger, and - don't tell anyone I said this - I kinda like her.
dora SAYS: I thought Sammy was pretty. And thus I went up to him one day and told him so. Because he really is pretty. In a feminine-ish way, too, not in a manly-ish way like Aidan. Cause, really, he just has pretty features. Like his lips and his cheekbones and facial structure and just like...yeah. He's prettier than I am! Haha. So, of course, I had to tell him, you know? Because I just can't keep things to myself. And he sort of made this growly noise when we were talking and, well, it sort-of clicken in my mind and I became absolutely convinced that he is a werewolf. He's not, by the way, in case you were wondering. I was quite disappointed when I found out - by means of silver. Since I poured liquid silver over his head - tit for tat and all that. He temporarily ruined my hair, I temporarily ruin his. I duplicated sickles (which, by the way, don't have any real value, of course, otherwise everyone would be able to do it. I just didn't want to waste a whole lot of money on Sammy. Sheeshkins, I'm not stupid) and then melted it into a bucket and then...well, you can imagine what happened after that. Anyhoo, he wasn't miffed about it for too long. Didn't really give him the chance, aha. Because, you see, I've taken to stalking him. Yep. I dunno what it is, but something about Sammy - or Chicken Leg, if you will, since he's so skinny he's like a Chicken Leg - just draws me to him, I guess. Not romantically, gosh no, but like...I dunno. He's fascinating to me. The way he reacts to people and the way he talks. I dunno, haha. It's weird, I don't get it, but I just like stalking him. I don't think he's really noooticed yet, haha. And I'm not sure I want to tell him just yet? Aha, I dunno. He's a biiit of a drama queen. I dunno. We'll seeee. Maybe he'll notice on his ownsome. We'll see. Anyhoo. Yes. I kinda adore him. That is all.

L'IDIOTE says: Okay so this girl punched me in the face like wha' ten seconds after I firs' met her? Which, ye know, HAS to be some sort of record. For me, at leas'. Girls tend to get to know me and THEN want ter hit me, but little Dory here is special, evidently. See, here's what happened - and this was last year, by the by. I'm rushing along because I'm going to be late for class and this lass is stuck in a trick step and looks pretty upset about it, right? So I do the gentlemanly thing and stop and ask if she needs help and she proceeds to look at me as if I'm a complete numbskull and said something like "oh no I just looove being stuck in this step, really, just move along if you wish." I ignored it, though, because I really didn't have tiiime - because I was in a rush! - and I do the NORMAL thing and that's put my arm around her waist so I can yank her out and then next thing I know blood is spurting out of me facking nose! Oh, don't look at me like that, she over-reacted, okay? Oh and she started yelling at me too. Not even one apology for potentially breaking me nose, oh no, little miss priss here ragged on me for touching her inappropriately and went on about something like sexual harrasment or some sh*t like that. I don't know, I wasn't really listening seeing as I was facking bleeding. After she'd calmed down and fixed me nose, I helped her out - after asking for permission because she apparently requires is. At least she thanked me afterwards. Grudgingly, but still. I was late for class that day and got a detention. Ugh. We don't really talk that much, haha, which is just as well. She strikes me as the kind-of annoying type. Then again, maybe I'm just bitter because she calls me Le Idiote all the time.
dory SAYS: Oh my God, Kieran Sullivan is probably one of the thickest seventh year gryffindors I have EVER met. Like...ever. I mean, really, can you get any stupider? Who puts his arm around a girl he barely even KNOWS? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?! He's just...ugh. Un-frigging-believable. Oh and he had the gall to be all pissy about it, too. I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS GROPED HERE, PEOPLE! Sheeshkins. Okay, I feel kind-of sorry for hurting him, but hey serves him right, right? And it's not like I broke his nose, I just made him bleed a little. He's just exaggerating. Stupid drama Queen. And he gets all miffed when I call him L'Idiote. But he is one, see! Well, anyway. Unfortunately, I happen to think he's quite handsome. I mean, really. He has the whole feminine eyelashes and the smouldering eyes and nice arms going for him. Plus, he's Irish like me, which would have given him brownie points if he wasn't so damn annoying. As it is...yeah. Just...no. I don't go out of my way to talk to him, really. He's just...there. And I'm very okay with this.

WILKIE says: You know of these blue, small creatures named PIXIES? Isadora reminds me of one of those; annoying, irritating small people, and they even share the same color. Now, that's sarcastic, right? Ravenclaw blue, pixie blue, awww forget it! What was I trying to say? oh, yeah, where did this stupid girl get the idea of talking to me, let alone ask me that many questions all the time? Well, one thing is for certain that she doesn't abide by the normal rules known at the school. Yeah, some might admire her for that, and they probably find her bubbly, energetic personality just l-o-v-e-l-y as well, urgh! Alright, I'm gonna stop myself there before getting carried away. Okay, admit it - I don't hate her like the others. I guess there's something charming about her persistence, and it sure is fun to flirt with her, or at least give it a try, since most of her time she seems to be absent minded or too engulfed in her questionnaire. I don't know what the deal is, but I find it fun to play along, so why quit the game?
isadora SAYS: Hah, so, I'll get the embarrassing part of the way first: yes, I used to have a crush on Dale, way back when I was about...thirteen or something, and I hadn't grown the tendency to actually tell my crushes that I liked them. That was developed later, you see. Which is just as well, because Wilkes here would've probably laughed in my face if I'd told him. In myyy defense, it was based purely off his looks. Back then, I thought his personality left something to be desired, to be honest. You know, your typical Slytherin douchebag who changed women faster than his socks. But then I grew older and wiser - and out of the crush - only to become determined there was more to him then that. I could be wrong, of course, but as I have not been proven wrong yet, I think I'll continue to stalk talk to him until I crack him and find out if he has some sort of morbid history that he's been hiding and which has caused him to turn out the way he has...or that he really is your typical douchebag. The latter would be quite disappointing, of course, but meh. It could happen. We'll just have to wait and see, won't we? I've decided to double my efforts this year, seeing as I've hardly had any contact with him since...well, a while. We'll see how it goes. Here's hoping I don't piss him off enough to get the same-old "I'll hex you into next Tuesday if you don't leave me alone" that people like so much. It's getting rather tiresome, that. Honestly.

JAMS says: It's pretty simple. Izzy's my best friend in the whole freakin' world. Like, okay, first day of Herbology. I'm sitting, listening to Professor Sprout talk about the importance of stabbing our snargaluff pods in the right spot, when that damn Venemous Tentacula bites my ass from behind. And I have no idea what the hell to do, because I'm like, eleven, so I just sit there and scream. And then, before Professor Sprout even realizes what the hell's going on, Izzy's beating it away with this pair of pinchers. And from that day on, we were friends. It's that simple. We're both really honest people, and she's always been okay with me being so outspoken. She just kind of rolls with it. I trust her, y'know? She puts up with my shit. And both of us love the fact that dresses aren't our first choice of outfit. She's a little more extreme than I am, but I don't care. She's my best friend.
izzy SAYS: I've been in love with Jams here for what? The past six years? Yep, around that. No, but seriously. She's one of my best friends. Probably my only girl best friend. I mean, Vi comes pretty close, but Jams always comes first. We just...get each other, you know? I met her way-back-when in first year. She was being attacked by a Venemous Tentacula - evil little buggers, they are - and I heroically saved her ass. Quite literally, too. Haha. Sorry, bad joke. Anyway. Yeah, ever since then we've been pretty much joined at the hip. She gets me, and I get her. She doesn't get offended by my outspoken-ness, and I don't get offended by hers. I'd kick someone's ass for hurting her, she'd do the same for me. It's a wonderful friendship, really. I love her to bits. She's the only one other than John-John who calls me Izzy, I think, which makes her all the more special. And I meant that thing about kicking someone's ass if they hurt her. I will do it. It's simple. She's my best friend. My sister from another mister and all that other mushy-gushy stuff. She's Jams.
