Adrienne's eyes snapped open as she looked at Alice, and then her face broke into a devilish grin. After a second it relaxed into a bored smirk, but it was all too obvious it was purposeful. "It could prove interesting. It's not as though I won't end up punished by her later this year anyway," she noted as she picked at her chipping green nail polish. Her eyes flicked back up to Alice as her blue eyes lit up. "You wouldn't have any ideas, would you?" she prompted, unable to keep the smile from her lips.

Francesca slowly walked into the Great Hall. She loved watching the sorting, it was a lovely reminder of how far she'd come since being a scared muggle-born first year. Smiling, she sat down at the Gryffindor table. She eyed the staff table. If there was one thing she wasn't looking forward to this year, it was the teachers. She glanced around the room, noticing the hall fill up. Typical Francesca behaviour, be the watcher.

Adrienne nodded. "My summer was pretty much the same old. Spent doing nothing and pushing people to the brink. I considered acquiring some new hobbies, but then threw the notion out the window." She arched an eyebrow as she looked at Alice, then back at Azure. She hadn't spoken to Azure too much, but she didn't seem like the type to rat them out. It wasn't getting in trouble that bothered her; it was the idea that their plan might be found out before they had a chance to carry it through.

Theo finally stood up from the Hufflepuff table as he spotted a girl sitting alone at the Gryffindor table. He walked over, taking a seat across from hers, and smirked. "I don't ever think I've heard you talk. Shy?" he asked, his face completely serious. "So what's your name?"

Sebastian walked into the Great Hall, his green robes looking nicely ironed. He took a seat at his table and looked at the fellow Slytherins, "Hello all."

Porcelain walked to her table at Ravenclaw and looked around, there was nobody here that she was familiar with.

She looked up, slightly surprised. People normally never paid much mind to her. "I talk when I have things to say. Not shy." she said tersely. She looked at the boy, mentally sizing the boy up. "I'm Francesca. You're in my year, right?" she said in a neutral tone to the Hufflepuff.

Adrienne looked thoughtful at Alice's recap of her summer activities. "Don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pretty sure I know what roller-blading is." She noticed the new arrival but looked up only briefly, barely flicking her eyes in his direction. "Hey," she greeted in response, but then looking back to Alice.

Theo nodded briefly. "As far as I'm aware. Theo Runner," he responded, not sure if he was interested with her, or mildly disappointed that she didn't say or do anything stupid that he could mock and taunt her for.

Adrienne rolled her eyes when he wasn't looking, then pulled her hand away as she smiled without much feeling. "I'm Adrienne Still. I know who you are," she responded coolly, glancing at Alice as he addressed her.

Francesca turned her attention back to the empty gold plates. She was awfully hungry. Back turned away from the Hufflepuff boy, she casually said, "I love two things about the Opening Feast, food and sorting." It was more of a statement rather than any sort of conversation starter. She wasn't even looking at the boy, after all. But there was no one around her right now, so she might as well try her best.

His words brought an innocent smile to her lips, and Adrienne let out a short laugh. "Please don't say things like that. You really don't want to give me any reason to shoot down your blown up ego. Morals? Oh, please. Aren't you supposed to be a Slytherin?" She smiled then, her bright blue eyes striking and amused beneath her dark shadow. She rested her elbows on the table, folding her hands together and resting her chin atop them. "Don't nauseate me with your maudlin trash," she commented, bemused beneath the superficial harsh tone. "Everyone knows what you are, and even if you weren't and I didn't know, that still would only disgust me."

He smiled darkly at her comment, smirking as he glanced at her though she wasn't looking at him. "I love nothing about the Opening Feast. I can't even make the first and second years cry because there are too many witnesses." All truth be told, he had never made any first or second years cry for the fun of it. At least not on purpose.

"You think you know me, but you are rather far of, my dear." Sebastian glared at her with a look that could kill, "You are simply jealous of all I have, so keep your envies to yourself it's rather unattractive."

"You think you know me, but you are rather far of, my dear." Sebastian glared at her with a look that could kill, "You are simply jealous of all I have, so keep your envies to yourself it's rather unattractive."

"Why so defensive?" she asked tauntingly, finding more amusement out of the situation than she should have. The look he gave her sent a shock through the pit of her stomach. She was really playing with fire here; for all she knew, he could be a homicidal maniac who just so happened to share the same common room with her. "You might not want to sound so insecure. It's rather unattractive," she said sardonically, smirking at him despite herself.
