Jac smiled and winked at Ginny. She knew brother's could be pains. Turning back to the smaller girl, she grinned widely and nodded, "well, I'm not a fish, that's for sure." She thought quickly and add with a laugh, "though that's easily remedied." She could always change into a fish but being out of water that would be suicide and Jac was a firm believer that you died when you were meant to and should not take your own life.
She turned to Ginny again and smiled. "We are rare," she said, having noticed that she had not reacted as shocked as Sarie had. "But I've recently met someone else with the same talent. Lovely lady, gave me detention and everything. You know her?" she addressed Ginny, "Tonks I believe she's called." Jac didn't know why but she had a feeling, a hunch that she might know her. She was the only other Metamorphmagus Jac had ever met.

"I know that!" Poppy said, sounding like a know it all. She had seen Ginny's brothers in the common room. They all had brilliantly red hair. Poppy wished she had a pretty hair color. Hers was just brown. Not even a pretty brown, it was just brown!
"Hi Jac!" Poppy got excited when Jac sat down. She enjoyed Jac's company she was always so nice. "We're on the quidditch team together!" Poppy said, beaming, telling Sarie and the red headed girl.
"WOW!" Poppy exclaimed at Jac. "I didn't know you could do that! I wish I could do that!" Poppy said. She thought of how she could change her ugly brown hair. She wouldn't mind a nice raven black color. Poppy thought that it would look cool, and maybe make her look older!
"Oh! You don't know my name, do you!?" She asked Ginny, as she had introduced herself. "I'm Poppy!" Poppy said in her usual squeak. "I've never talked to you before. I'm glad I met you. Do you know there the food is?" Poppy has a little bit of attention deficit disorder.

Jac had began speaking to her once more and as they were talking it seemed that they did have an acquaintance in common. 'Oh really you know Tonks yes she's a friend of the family,' she was a lot more than that but Ginny didn't dare mention that to Jac since they definitely didn't know each other all that well. 'Tonks is a sweetheart, despite giving you detention,' Ginny said laughing, 'But if you don't mind me asking what happened?'
As she waited for an answer though the other younger student called Poppy spoke to her as well, and she seemed to have a lot of energy which was always amazing to Ginny. She always wondered if she was like that at that age, but she seriously doubted that. 'Well it's very nice to meet you Poppy, and not I don't know where the food is I've actually been waiting for it myself I'm really hungry, but there's fruit it's delicious.'

Jac grinned at Ginny. "I knew it," she exclaimed, "usually people are falling over themselves but you acted as though you had seen it so many times before." Jac was enjoying this unusual relief from fifty questions of the metamorphmagus that so many people enjoyed playing. She couldn't stand it when people stated the obvious, 'wow, you're bleeding, are you alright?' or 'gee I guess that log protruding from your hip is pretty uncomfortable' were amongst the annoying questions Jac was often asked.
She grinned still at Ginny but faced Poppy as she noticed Jac had changed her hair at long last. "Well spotted Holmes," she said sarcastically with a light laugh. She didn't mind showing off but the questions drove her up the wall. Turning back to Ginny, Jac's smile faltered for a second. "I got caught," she said simply. "Peeves was chasing me and I ran straight into her. Slight problem of course, since I wasn't supposed to be out of bed at that time and it was worse when I realised Vance was there." She shuddered and laughed.

Ginny laughed whe Jac said she knew. Ginny hadn't needed to ask her any questions because she had already done that a few years ago to someone else. Luckily Tonks was patient about it but Ginny could see it from their point of view. Just because they were a bit different people treated them as such asking them all sorts of probing questions as if trying to unlock some great mystery. No if it was her she would hate all the mundane questions she must have to hear over and over again.
As Jac turned her attention briefly to Poppy Ginny looked around the room wondering if dinner was ever going to be served but then Jac started speaking so Ginny's eyes shifted as she heard tell about how Dora had ended up putting her in detention. 'That Peeves is a right pain in the arse can't tell you the number of times he's gotten me into trouble. Sometimes if I see him before he sees me I jinx him for the fun of it, although that does mean war when he's concerned.' She laughed at that and then finished by saying, 'but Tonks is loveable I'm sure she hated to put you in detention.'

Jac laughed with Ginny. She had also gotten into trouble many times because of Peeves but she wasn't about to admit it. As she listened to Ginny she began to wonder just how well she knew this Tonks lady because the fond way she was talking about her gave the impression she knew her rather well. "So, a friend of the family, you say?" she said suspiciously.
Jac grinned playfully at Ginny and changed her hair again. This time it became a dark mahogany colour that made her green eyes shine brightly. She enjoyed changing how she looked and she did it as often as she could to get better control of her ability. Jac let out a barked laugh. "She seemed to actually enjoy beating Vance to it," she laughed and hit the table with her hand. "Can't blame her though."

Ginny giggle at Jac's question about Tonks, she was a bit too perceptive but Ginny didn't mind to her it showed that she had a sharp mind, she picked up on things quickly.
'Oh yeah Tonks is a family friend, she would entertain us all at dinner changing her appearance it always went over pretty big.'
She said changing the subject just slightly. Whether Jac would notice it or not Ginny wasn't sure, as perceptive as she was it might not have gone over her head.
Again Jac shocked her by informing her that Tonks seemed a bit happy to put her in detention it didn't seem like Dora at all, perhaps she was trying to impress Professor Vance but why? Ginny would have to ask her next time she saw her,
'Can't imagine that she might have been having a bad day or something or maybe she was afraid Professor Vance would do worse.'
She said tilting her head to one side.

"mmm." Poppy said licking her lips. Fruit sounded very good to the famished second year. She was hoping for some pumpkin pie herself, but even a sliver of bread would do her good now. Her tummy rumbled and she giggled.
"Who Holmes? My last names Hangleton silly." Poppy said to Jac, laughing at her mistake. She had obviously gotten Poppy's last name mixed up with some other hyperactive second year.
"Oh! Maybe the snorkacks made her mad." Poppy said, nodding her head. "What?" She said, noticing the faces of the people around her. "What did I say wrong? I was serious. Luna Lovegood told me about them. I like her." Poppy said with a smile. "Jac, can you do anything else cool?" Poppy said, not realizing she was probably butting into something personal.

Luna lazily trotted into the Great Hall. She was barefoot and was holding her perfectly clean shoes in her hand. She had changed out of her school robes, having a late study period and was wearing a bright green jumper over a pink floral shirt. her long blond hair was held back with a neon yellow headband. As usual, her potato sack bag hung from her shoulder, swinging limply. Her outfit caught everyone's eye as she walked into the room. You couldn't look at her to long, it hurt your eyes.
She walked down the Ravenclaw table, not even hearing the mean teasing and giggles as she pranced by. She spotted Ginny at the Gryffindor table and gave her a smiley and a sleepy blink of acknowledgment. Her dreamy eyes had found a a spot not to far down the table. It was right in front of an empty platter Luna was hoping would soon fill with pudding. She reached the bench and swung her bare feet over.
Taking out a copy of The Quibbler, she turned the magazine upside down, the only way to look for ancient writings with in the normal text, she placed her hand to her ear making sure her wand was securely behind it. There she sat contentedly reading her magazine.

Alexis watched as Luna entered the Great Hall. She never really spoke to her much simply because Alexis tried to keep to herself. From what a lot of others said though she was thought of as weird. She heard so many making fun of her simply because she was different from them. Even now as she walked into the Great Hall several kids laughed at her for no apparent reason well one reason she wasn't like them so they had to attack. Rolling her eyes at their ignorance she watched as Luna took a seat near her and she decided that she was going to be different from everyone else. 'Hey Luna wanna come join us over here?' she called out.

Luna looked up over the top, err, bottom of her magazine at the sound of her name. "I would like that very much." She said to the girl, folding the magazine in half and placing it in her sack bag. She swung her legs back over the bench and her bare feet made a slap on the stone floor. She happily stood up and walked over to the group with her head tilted to the side.
She sat down next to the girl who had invited her to the conversation. "You don't suppose that something has gone wrong with the food." Luna said in her high dreamy voice. Her voice never differentiated between moods so no one was sure if she was worried or curious. "I suppose the Nargles finally have gotten into the kitchen." She said in her flat voice, believing every word. "I've been warning the house elves for weeks, you see they are highly allergic to Nargles." Luna said as-a-matter-of-fact-ly, nodding her head.

As Luna began to walk over Alexis smiled not even noticing that she was barefooted. When she sat down Alexis smiled and was about to introduce herself when Luna stared talking and Alexis listened raptly as she mentioned something about Nargles. This was a word she had never heard, she cocked her head to the side so that now it was leaning on her left shoulder the better to look at Luna. 'I'm sorry but what exactly is a Nargle and what would it have done in the kitchens. I thought Peeves was the only nuisance to house elves,' she said that last bit as a joke knowing that most of the staff had something against the unbearable poltergeist. 'Oh I'm Alexis Cane by the way,' and she held out her hand still wondering what a Nargle was.

"Luna Lovegood." Luna said shaking Alexis' hand rather softly. As they broke the shake, Luna placed her hand on top the table, palm down. She crossed her legs underneath her as she sat on the bench. She was much more comfortable.
"Nargles are animals." Luna said in response to Alexis' question and that was all she said on the subject, which she changed. "And Peeves can't help but be a nuisance. He is a pirate after all."

Alexis soon began to wonder if Luna was joking with her. She had almost laughed but thought better of it something in her face told Alexis that she was not. Nargles, and Peeves a pirate. These were; well in Alexis' mind extremely ludicrous notions to be bandied about. She kept this to herself though and decided to look past Luna's eccentricities and just see what else the two could talk about. 'So um Luna was that Ginny I saw you talking to I didn't know that you two were friends. I don't really know anyone from any other house but ours,' she admitted. 'Do you know her brother as well, truth be told I always thought he was cute.'
