Mister Golden Sun {Cassandra}

[Trinity Luther]

I blushed a little at the "what I did on my honeymoon" question, but I hid it well. "Well...um...we saw lots of sights around Europe...I finally got to see Barcenlona..." I smiled somewhat dreamily remembering all the fun we'd had together. Looking at Zed I smiled brightly at him while I was still thinking of Hero. "Alright. If you want, you can call me Trin or Trin Trin..." Hero had taken to calling me Trinny over the course of our honeymoon, so I had since stopped letting other people call me that because I just associated it with him.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"Alright, Trin it is," Zed agreed as he looked to her and put on one of his best smiles. "So... Trin and Cassy. And you mentioned something about being cousins earlier. That's pretty cool. It's always nice to have relatives in the same school as you are." Even if you aren't blood related to them.

[Trinity Luther]

"Yes it is..." I said as I reached up and started playing in Cassy's hair. "There's one more who attends school here. She's a 7th year Hufflepuff like me. Her name is Poseia Haggas. She's a whole new breed of Haggas...literally..." I said laughing to myself as I continued playing with Cassy's hair.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"So you have two relatives here then? That's really cool. I only have one. She's my twin sister," Zed told her. It was funny that both Zed and Shioko were born on the same day, yet they weren't blood related. One was actually adopted into the family. "I do have one other sibling, but I have no idea where he is. All I know is that he ran away from home and I really couldn't care less about where he went."

[Trinity Luther]

"That's kind of sad." I told Zed regarding his brother. "...but it's cool to have your sister here. Is she a Huffle also?" I asked him as I leaned back against a tree and looked up into the sky.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"It really isn't that sad, he was a jerk anyways," Zed said with a hint of disgust in his voice. Any boy who was willing to try and kill his own father must be a jerk. "No, my sister is actually a Gryffindor. Which is funny because she's really quite and a bit shy. I think she should be the one in Hufflepuff and I should be in Gryffindor."

[Trinity Luther]

I laughed. "So many people question the Sorting Hat only to realize at some point in life that they were put exactly where they were supposed to be. With me it was the exact opposite...I knew I was supposed to be a Hufflepuff, but no one else could explain. It was always, 'but you're so bright...surely Ravenclaw would be more suitable' or 'but your bravery and outgoing nature! Gryffindor's the one for you' and even once someone told me with my cunning nature and ambitious goals I could sometimes pass for a Slytherin! As if any mixed breed regardless of their personality or lifestyles could be a Slythering...maybe a half-blood, but surely never a mixed breed...but then stranger things in life have happened." I said laughing as I reminisced. "But there was always that one thing that set me apart as nothing but a Hufflepuff..." I began to say before I stopped as a big pretty butterfly landed on my stomache. It surprised me because it wasn't typical butterfly behavior, and it wasn't as if I was wearing a flower patterened dress or something.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"Well, I really do understand why I'm a Hufflepuff. I really don't fit in any other house. I'm not very cunning, not too bright, and I'm a major coward... that only left Hufflepuff," Zed said with a disappointed sigh. Oh, how he wished he could have been in one of the other houses. Truthfully, he didn't think there was anything special about Hufflepuff. He actually thought of it as lame and dull.

[Trinity Luther]

I shook my head. "Everyone always thinks so little of such an important House. Do people not remember that Helga Hufflepuff was still one of the four strongest wizards of her time? She was just as important and skilled as the others. I know I was supposed to be in Hufflepuff because I'm loyal to a point of fierceness. I'd die before I betray those I care about, and I'd kill before I allowed anything to happen to them. I'm the hardest worker you ever met, and I'm a friend to all who allow me to be...those are the truest symbols of a Hufflepuff...loyalty, honor, duty, friendship, trustworthiness, and a hardworking personality. I'm a proud Hufflepuff and will defend my House at all costs. No one, and I mean, no one gets away saying anything cruel about us when I'm around. At least we normally have more common sense than Gryffindors, more personality than Ravenclaws, and definitely more popularity than Slytherins..." I said seriously. Being a Hufflepuff was a point of pride for me, and I hoped at least one of my children in the future would be the same...just me and their father. I smiled at that point because I was already thinking about having children with my husband...honestly, I'd been thinking about that 'what if' even before we got married.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"Wow, you're kind of scary when you're sticking up for things," Zed admitted with a look of shock on his face. Sighing, he looked back to the sky. "I'm still not sure if I belong in Hufflepuff though. No one seems to trust me or think of me as loyal. I don't really make friends easily and I'm definetely not working. Maybe I just don't belong in any house."

[Trinity Luther]

I smiled again after finally calming down. "Well...I can be quite scary at times. Just don't ever find yourself on the wrong end of my wand love..." I said laughing at something that might leave the poor boy terrified. "Well...the Hat looks deeper than the surface. Maybe he saw something in you that you don't even know is in yourself yet. Maybe you'll make Hufflepuff proud one day, and it just has come...who knows?? I'm sure you're a pretty good friend to have...I like you. I'd like to be your friend..." I told him honestly ignoring the fact that he had attempted to flirt with me when we first met. I got that a lot, so I didn't hold it against him. He was just a guy after all...what else could you expect??

[Zedekiah Zed]

"Hmmm... are you really sure you want to be my friend? Because I have to warn you that the flirting won't stop. Flirting comes naturally to me, whenever I meet a girl, I do it. I really have no control over it," Zed told her, quite ashamed of himself. He always seemed to flirth with all girls but had only ever fallen in love with his sister. Which is kind of awkward. But he had been in love with her before they had decided to adopt her.

[Trinity Luther]

I smiled at him and started laughing. "You sound like Poseia. She can't walk two steps without flirting with someone...and just because she can talk to him, she even does it with the giant squid in the lake! I'm alright as long as you make an effort to keep it to a minimum and don't say anything rude...particularly in front of my husband. He takes things like that pretty seriously and won't be as nice about it as I am..." I told him laying down the law that I was a taken woman who didn't play around when it came to my marital status...I mean...I had just explained my loyalty.

[Zedekiah Zed]

"Alright, I'll try my best to turn down the flirting as much as I can, especially around this husband of yours," Zed agreed as he put his smile back on his face. Truthfully, he loved how flirting came naturally to him. Unfortunately, it lead to girls hating him and often slapping him. I mean, he's flirted with women who were twenty years old than him and ten years younger than him. What a creep he is.

[Trinity Luther]

I smiled. "Thank you. It's greatly appreciated." I stood up and pulled my robes over my head where I was wearing my favorite red bathing suit." I'm going swimming. Either of you care to join me?" Before either could answer, I'd taken off at a run, jumped, and dived into the cool and calming water of the lake.
