Homework? She didn't know her. Not yet, at least. Soon enough she was sure Ollie would start pestering her about it, as well as OWLs. HOWEVER, Anna was not there to think about ANY of these things that day. It was another MAJOR catching up session she was just about to have!

"HELLOOOOO!!!!" The girl exclaimed enthusiastically as she arrived, giving everyone a big wave. She wasn't surprised there weren't loads of people there yet, as the organisers were supposed to arrive first. Ish. "Niiice!!" Anna said, approaching the bonfire that was already lit and the kid who was already toasting a marshmallow. "Hi, I'm Anna!" She introduced herself to the younger boy she didn't know (Ewan). "Thanks for coming to our party!"
These marshmallows were, there was no other word for it, Lush! Although he did do a good job at toasting it so that it was golden brown. If only there was a cracker and some chocolate here. That would make it perfect. And as if out of nowhere, there was a girl next to him out of nowhere! (Anna) Or, he’d simply been too into his marshmallow to notice. The second one was more likely. “Uh hi, I’m Ewan” was what he wanted to say. What it sounded like was another thing. With a big gulp, he continued “This is your party? That’s nice of you”. He had to admit, it was a pretty cool idea. He’d have to throw one sometime. One thing was for certain, there wouldn’t be any pumpkin juice…

Luckily, it was good weather this time of year. The fourth year headed out toward the barns but steered herself in the direction of the bonfire. She could see it from a good distance away, and it looked like a few people had already gathered around. She automatically felt a sense of awkwardness. Being the new girl at an event like this was terrifying in a way.

She approached the bonfire area and came to a stop, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Looking around, she noted a few adults and a few more students. Oh, look! There was the jogging boy she'd met in the courtyard. The one who'd collided with that bench.
Looking around now, he couldn’t help but there were more piranhas here ready to eat his marshmallows. Okay, that was harsh. They were Gryffindor’s and this was their event after all. Laughing, he waved at each new person before going to grab another marshmallow and joined the fire again, quickly noticing that a certain bench sitting Slytherin from the other morning was also there now (Torii). Only this time she wasn’t sneaking up on unsuspecting runners. “hey, it’s nice of you not jumping out of nowhere on me this time” and playful smile on his face. “How’s your first week been?”

But it was just a boring fire.

With a slight frown, Charlie scanned her surroundings, calculating her next move. Of course, she didn't know a single soul here. She wasn't surprised, seeing as the event was put on by another house (and she didn't know many people anyhow), but she'd held on to a bit of hope anyhow.

In light of this, her next move would be towards the marshmallows and sticks. If nothing else, she could at least get a well-toasted mallow or two out of this. After selecting a stick and two plump marshmallows, Charlie took up residence at one of the empty hay bales, promptly sliding a mallow onto the stick and sticking it into the fire (at a safe distance, of course).

Maybe she could sneak off and visit the creatures after eating her mallows....

After a moment, he looked around at the surprisingly large crown that has amassed, giving a wave to his fellow Ravenclaw (Septimus) because the place was honestly full of Gryffindor’s. Surprise. Surprising, he noticed a lone Ravenclaw first year he hadn’t had a chance to meet yet. After a split second, he walked over and sat down next to her on a bale of hay. “Hi, you’re in Ravenclaw too right? First year? I’m Ewan”.
