[font=century gothic]AHHHH Cody was finally coming to the best MAGICAL school! His dad and twin was with him of course, and his mom, but his mother seemed to just linger outside of anyplace they went to. Cody smiled, his eyes brightly twinkling. This was where his ancestors must've worked! THE HOME OF THE BRAVE INDEED! And they called Goblins stingy. Pfft. What's stingy is a human thinking stuff they get or buy from goblins are permanently theirs. Utter load of crap. But Cody? He was so excited, he ran through the doors, and took in the beautiful sight, not that Goblins working were the best thing he ever saw, but they must've enjoyed working there in order to stay. Especially since some thirty years ago, they harbored a dragon at Gringotts, held a horcrux of Voldemort.

But they didn't seem ashamed. Neither did Jack, Cody's dad, who looked around in amazement before speaking. "Freddy, Cody, the last time I was here, was when your mother and I got married! Now, granted they didn't accept half goblins or full goblins into Hogwarts, I willingly chose a House that your mother had. So, lets get our money! Galleons galleons galleons!"

He seemed eager... for money? Well- anything shiny seemed to attract him while Freddy whined endlessly.

But Cody just acted like he was some big stuff and strutted up to the head goblin and smiled. "Part goblin here! I'm ready for my special treatment!"[/font]

Clifford was finally coming to Gringotts, having been told about it by his father Cecil and mother Mariline. It always sounding so fascinating to him. Walking with them up to the doors to the entrance to the bank. Looking at them in amazement. Before going in the building feeling nervous, unsure what to do. His dad noticing he was nervous "It is alright Clifford we will be here to assist you when you go to the vault we set up for you." He looks up at his dad, smiling brightly, nodding. Going up to one of the goblins to talk to them about going to his vault.

"Erm, excuse me... I am here to go to my vault." He looked up at the goblin that he spoke to, trying to be polite always having been taught to be to others. Seeing another boy nearby. Looking over at him for a moment nervously before turning his attention to the goblin his mother whispering in his ear. "Pay attention Clifford, he is speaking to you." The goblin started to speak to him. "Key please, you must sign this book before being taken down to your vault and your key inspected."

He was handing the key his father had previously handed him before they had entered the bank, waiting to be taken to the vault while signing his name to the book that was pushed towards him to do so with. Another goblin being summoned over that would show him to the vault along with his parents.

"Here, I hope that is correct." He hands the book back to the goblin but was told to wait a moment. Going over near the other boy that was near him. Smiling at him for a moment when he was not preoccupied. "Hi, I am Clifford, Clifford Johnson." He extended his hand to the other boy who looked to be around his age. Just being the friendly type of boy liking to say hello to others a lot or try to say so when he has the opportunity. Trying to make friends it being one of his goals he has made for the year at this school.

[font=century gothic]He turned, a boy was being told to listen to a goblin apparently. But Freddy, being the idiot he was, decided to walk over and give her a big fat ol hug. Cody exclaimed, walked over and pulled Freddy off of Clifford harshly.

"Freddy. NEVER do that. NEVER. And don't forget, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HOGWARTS THIS YEAR." Cody didn't care whether the twin was the same age or not, or whether he showed his innate magical ability.

He decided to apologize to the guy who Freddy hugged. "I'm sorry... Clifford. I'm Cody. Cody Stevenson."

Indeed, he did have to look up, since both he and his brother were just under four feet. It was a curse to be short! And well, Jack was already talking to the goblin who Cody just disrespected, and seemed to be having such a nice conversation, not that Cody cared. Cody lived for honor, whether he would get a good reputation, like the saying, "A knight in shining armor" or a bad reputation, like being the town drunk.

The young part goblin smiled, "So, are you new?" He said, in his american accent.

"I'm new to Hogwarts! My dad never went, but my mother did!"[/font]

He had been surprised a bit when he was hugged, about to return the hug when the hug was harshly interrupted by the boy being pulled off of him. Looking at them after that had happened."Oh, that's alright I don't mind. I like hugs but I have never been hugged all of a sudden by someone I didn't know like that before." He knew his parents were watching him, making sure nothing bad happens since sometimes he has a habit that his magic goes haywire on him not meaning to. Not happening often though it happening occasionally.

He looked at him noticing he was taller than him, having always been rather tall for an eleven year old even normal ones. It sometimes being intimidating to the neighbors and he had hated it. Hoping it wouldn't be the case this time though. Smiling at him in a friendly sort of a way. always being very friendly with others though oddly he had issues making friends he hadn't made any he hadn't known why exactly he had play pals but they weren't really friends.

He nodded to the question when asked. "Yes I am new, I am going to Hogwarts for the first time this year. I am so nervous, I haven't been away from mum or dad, or Hexiba either for long periods of times." Hexiba had actually been outside waiting for them outside the bank waiting at Fortesque's having a ice cream since she had come with them to shop.


"Both my parents went to Hogwarts and I hope to be put into Hufflepuff like they were, though if I am not that's alright I am just happy and excited to go to school. Though I am extremely nervous." Sometimes he has a habit to babble when he meets new people it being something his mother has warned him about doing, telling him that others won't like it if he babbles to much.

Clifford, maybe you can invite your new acquaintance for an ice cream at Fortesque's he looks up at his mother when she makes the suggestion. "Would you like to go for a ice cream later? Or would you be busy shopping to do that? I have to get my school supplies too but mum and dad promised I could have a raspberry ice cream while we were here shopping. Hexiba my nanny is currently there waiting for us to get done here." He looked at him with a hopeful look after asking. "I am waiting for you, lets go to your vault you're holding everyone up.

[font=century gothic]"I- you liked the hug? But- but-" Cody was at a loss for words.

Freddy smirked, "I knew people were huggers! And besides, I bet that when I go to Hogwarts.. I'll end up in... whatchamacallit? Uhh- the yellow and black house? Uhh- is it Hufflewaypuff? Whatever. I think I belong there, whereas the only place you belong is back home in Boston, whereas you could go to Illivermony. Don't like that? Don't interrupt me."

That was the first time Freddy talked since they entered. By the time Clifford's parent suggested inviting Cody to some sort of ice cream place, Jack came down.

"Yes, Cody, make some new friends. It's not like you even bothered to make friends at muggle school both America and Plymouth. You picked fights, not friends. I'm asking you to make friends, at least make ONE friend."

Cody was flabbergasted, "Freddy- yer an idiot. Dad? Do I have to make a friend? Can I not just make enemies instead? Well-" Cody looked over at Clifford.

"Alright. I'll go. But we have a time slot, I can go for thirty minutes aft-" Cody said before being interrupted by his dad.

"Cody."

"Fine. I'll go." He said, rather tensely.

Freddy saw an opportunity to pick on Cody, with a song he knew ticked Cody off. Well, a line from a song. "Can anybody find me somebody to love?" He proceeded to make a kissing face.

Jack saw this and gave him a light smack on the back of his head, making Freddy stop. "Freddy. Behave. Or I'll send you to stay with Greg while Cody goes to Hogwarts." Jack knew that Freddy hated Greg with all of his might, since Greg was a human and went to Illivermony.[/font]

"Yes I liked the hug, I love hugs even if it is a stranger who hugs me I enjoy them. Dad says I am too friendly at times because of it. I have been known to hug random people when younger and dad has had to stop me from doing it." He felt eyes on him looking seeing his dad giving him a look from his saying that."Hugs are so great I always thought." He smiled looking at his the twin. "It's called Hufflepuff, I have been reading in Hogwarts A History. That's the house I hope to be in since my parents were both in Hufflepuff."

He looked at Cody's dad, noticing the accents listening to what he was saying to him. Smiling when Cody looked at him. Being happy they seemed to be getting on as his mum would say that being when they had been joined by his dad his mum being a tall, statuesque blonde woman, and pretty. His dad being stocky, muscly and also blond with a beard and what's he came to be told is called a handlebar mustache. Clifford talking after his mum height wise it seeming since she is the tall one of the two, though his dad wasn't too short either. "Are you ready to go Clifford?" He smiled down at Cody looking over at the other family being almost as friendly as his son though slightly reserved. Hiding a chuckle at what Freddy just did, though he quickly dispels that after a moment. "Hello I am Cecil, this is my wife Mariline and you have met my son Clifford it would appear." He had extended a hand in greeting being very friendly like but also cautious at times, since he deals with special creatures at the ministry at times it being his job. Having to keep track of them mostly though Clifford is not aware of what exactly it is called just vaguely aware of what he does.

"My parents have brought me to Fortesque's before they have some of the best ice cream in wizarding world of London I have heard. I like the raspberry flavored one it is my favorite to have."

He looks at them "I should go to my vault first, should we meet back here after going to our vaults?" He looks at them eagerly a bit. Thinking that is a good plan to do thinking maybe they can get their shopping together if they wanted to. He would seem to be a good friend he thinks.

[font=century gothic]"Hog-" Cody said- his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Not realizing he said the first part of the elite wizarding school's name, before catching himself. Even if it was the name of a book, but something had to be said to prevent Clifford to acknowledge him about what he just said. Or just blurted out.

"What the hell? Is that a cat? I'M SO FREAKING ALLERGIC TO CATS!" Cody said, trying to distract the boy. Eh, whether it worked or not was a mystery for Cody.

"HAHHAHAHAHAHA" Freddy said, laughing loudly, and rather rudely.

"F-Freddy. What did I say?" Jack said, smiling but words slipping past his teeth.

Freddy shut up, at last! But Cody seemed to have won another game, but that probably wasn't a promise.

Cody frowned at the thought of willingly accepting a hug. Who would love that? Yuck! People putting their arms around you! That was terrifying! And wasn't a hug something that happened before you died? Nah, that probably was a lie.

Again, Cody saw that cat walking away from Gringotts, and Cody's eyes bulged. "D-dad- lets go to our vault! Uh- Clifford, I'll see you at the ice cream palace you're describing. Luckily, I'm not lactose intolerant." That being said, Cody walked to the goblin and handed him his key. Jack stayed behind to talk to Clifford's parent's until Cody returned with the goblin and the money.

"Alright, well, i'll stop by the pet store, and see if Dad can get me a pet!" Cody said, admiring his possible manipulation.[/font]

Cody Stevenson has left the thread.

He stopped when he said it like that wondering if he said something wrong with his reaction to what he said about the book. Having a habit to love to read it being one of his many past times, mostly reading anything about quidditch. Being in thought for a moment before he hears him mention a cat. Looking around for it loving cats having always wanted one. But his parents wouldn't let him have one yet, maybe he could they said.

"A cat!" He clearly got excited then he spotted it, looking at the cat then returning his attention to him after.

Being tempted to give him a hug though he didn't seem like he would accept it, looking at Cody though Freddy seemed like he might, so he timidly hugged Freddy since he hadn't been able to return his hug before. Then let go moving back again after not wanting to get into his space too much, knowing his dad would say that he shouldn't.

He nodded to meeting him at the ice cream shop when he said about that, going off himself with his mum and the goblin to go to his own vault to get his galleons. Coming back to see Jack and Cecil were still talking so his mum started talking too, walking with them to the ice cream shop to meet up with Cody. Also going to meet up with Hexiba who was waiting for him and his parents there.

Getting a raspberry ice cream when he arrived at the shop, sitting down to wait for him to come to the shop too. Sitting by Hexiba who was still eating an ice cream too. Smiling at her"Hello Clifford, I see you have brought some friends over. she says then smiles at the two parents that joined them while waiting for Cody. "I think I made a friend, hopefully I did. I don't know yet." He was unsure sometimes from the past since he had thought at times, he made friends that he really hadn't so he was hopeful but cautious about it. Hexiba rubbed his arm knowing how he felt since he had shared with her how he felt a lot being really close to her having sometimes cried from the other kids hurting him where he lived before.

He smiles at her after she did that showing he was trying to be looking on the bright side of things right now. She had told him she thinks he will make a lot of friends there at school. So, he was hopeful she was right about that, hopeful this was the first of many of them. He looks to see if he was coming, being anxious. "Be patient dear, he'll show up." Mariline runs a finger through Clifford's hair brushing a piece out of his eyes.
