Marie just looked at Evelyn for a minute when she said they should welcome back Truebridge instead. Who did she think Marie was talking about? Surely she didn't think she meant LaFlame... did she?

"I was talking about Truebridge silly. You didn't actually think I meant LaFlame did you?" Heck she didn't even see that woman anywhere around. Maybe Truebs was back to be their HoH and LaFlame wouldn't be back this term. Oh how sweet life would be if that were true.

Just as she was about to get up and head over to Truebridge someone else joined them. "Hey Sal, what's in the box?" Oh so that's what the little girls name was... Sierra. And now she knew what was in the box. Cookies. They looked like the ones that crazy little Gryffindork girl was always handing out. What was her name... Krummi or something like that.

"Who's that?" she asked as if she expected everyone to know who Truebridge was. "That's Professor Truebridge, the best Head of House Slytherin has ever had. I hope and pray that he's back to be Head of House again. That would be so awesome." And if he wasn't, well she was still going to go to him with all her concerns and problems. No way would she talk to LaFlame about anything.

A big smile crossed her face when her favorite prefect arrived. However it sort of disappeared when he only acknowledged the little snakette sitting with them. Oh, so it appears that Evan knew the girl too. It seems the little one has been making her rounds with getting to know the boys. Oh well, at least she was getting to know the right ones. Once Evan was done introducing himself to Sierra she couldn't help but be just a tad bit obnoxious. "Hey there Prefect Evan Cartright, I'm Marie Salazar... your best friend... remember me?" Okay, so she knew he remembered her, she just wanted to make sure he didn't forget her or the fact that she was friends with his girlfriend and would therefore be keeping an eye on him.

Ohhh, another prefect had come to join them, and this one acknowledged that she was sitting there. "Hey Finn." She said smiling up at him. "Sorry about running off on the train. I wanted to make sure Mia was alright." Then it hit her... he knew Evelyn's name. "You two know each other?" she asked looking between her best friend and her boyfriends best friend. Her boyfriend that still wasn't at the feast. Where was that boy?

Her attention was suddenly brought back to the little snakette sitting across from her, next to Evelyn. Right, Sierra, so she had heard from the boys. "Hello Sierra Greingoth, I'm Marie Salazar. Nice to meet you." Wait, what was she saying? Since when did she like meeting little kids? Eh, she couldn't take it back now... could she? She would just wait until the kid proved that she wasn't good enough to be friends with the She-Snakes.

So Sierra did know Evelyn. Or at least knew of her. It seemed Evelyn had a story to tell Marie later. She grinned over at Ev upon hearing something about a crazy shopkeeper. Yes, definitely a story worth hearing she was sure... but later. Right now she had to explain to yet someone else just who Ethan Truebridge was.

Looking over at the professor then back at Sierra she smiled. "As I have already said, Professor Truebridge is and was the best Head of House Slytherin has ever had." Well in her days at Hogwarts anyway. "If we are lucky enough maybe we will find out that he is once again our Head of House." And possibly the new potions professor.

Hearing Evelyn ask Salander if he was crazy she couldn't help but giggle. Of course the boy was crazy... he was friends with Lexi, or so it appeared that way on the train.

"Yeah, so I heard. Seems the little snakette here has been making friends with some of the boys already." She said when Ev told her who Sierra was. It was obvious that this little girl wasn't a shy one. Not if she was already interacting with the older students. Whatever happened to the little kids being scared of the big kids?

O____O

Say it wasn't so. She was NOT seeing Professor LaFay entering the Great Hall and she was not seeing her come over to their table.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

This was NOT what she wanted to see. She wanted to see and hear that Professor Truebridge was once again their head of house.

She looked back over to Truebs. Well at least he was there as a professor... right? She knew she could go to him for anything. He wouldn't just leave them to Lafay when he was around. He would be there when she needed him... right? You know, like Lawson had always been there for her. Well he was still there for her, just in a different way now.

She really should go over and welcome Truebridge back... unless he was going to be coming their way, then she would welcome him back from the table.

Maybe she would just wait and see what Evelyn wanted to do.
