But not this year! This term she'd be involved, and make friends, and all that good stuff. Yes, that was the plan.
"To be completely honest, neither did I at first." she answered truthfully. "There's not too many though, for the most part Ravenclaws are a good bunch." She said that last part with a bit of pride. Yeah, she was proud of her house. "Oh don't sell yourself short." He seemed like an intelligent guy. "I'm sure you would help if someone really needed it."
He didn't seem like the sort of guy to turn someone in need away. But then again that was just her first impression.
"You know," she began with a grin. "Some people think of it as sucking up to meet the Professors on the first day." Not that she was calling him a suck up of course. "But I like to think of it as laying of the ground work. Like you said get off on a good start. Shows them you have initiative and whatnot." Most people admired that.
Her lips quirked up at his enthusiasm for his duties. Giving a small giggle, she nodded. Yes, those sounded like excellent duties. "Well then I guess that makes us official new friends." Quote:

"Oh." SIGH. "Sorry. It's weird right?" she asked. Her not being all excited and stuff. Excited was so HER. Especially in the beginning of term. Her being merose even weirded HER out.
At the question, her eyes flickered up to the Staff table. SOMEONE was missing. Someone that she was pretty sure, if present, she'd be less like...less like whatever she was being right now. Less like a Debbie Downer. Ironic, right? "I just kinda...don't want to be here...now." Maybe in a few more weeks. But now? Now she just missed HOME.
Still, Ellie managed to smile at the fifth year. "That's good! Have a good holiday?"
"Nice to meet you too." More beaming. She could do that, apparently, be sad and happy at the same time. Or her mood just changed constantly.
Heh. "Depends on the professor, I guess." Ellie said, inviting herself in their already established conversation cuz she COULD. "Like...if you already knew them, then you're just visiting them and it's like...like you actually like them and genuinely want to interact with them. If they're new, it's kinda like more sucking upish." Words of wisdom from Ellie Stone. Like Little Professor or Hadley, she could confidently approach just to see how their summer was...or something. But that new woman? If she was like 'I'm really looking forward to your class', it'd be MAJOR sucking up sounding. Right?
Dallin shrugged one shoulder, laughing lightly. He supposed everyone thought they wouldn't be a good prefect - or whatever - until it actually happened to them. He smiled at her obvious house pride and nodded in agreement. "Yeah, this is a pretty good house, I think." Not to mention they were the stereotypical smart people, which was never a bad thing. "Sure," he said slowly, "I would try to help people. Maybe I'll be able to once I get used to this place more." Even though he had last year to get used to the place...
He grinned when both girls mentioned sucking up to professors. "Is there something wrong with that?" He was joking, of course... well, sort of. "But, like you said Ivory, shows initiative." Yup. Good students like to meet their professors, right?
He smiled brightly when Ivory said they were 'official' friends. That was good to know. "I don't know what other duties my Guy-ish Fifth year-ness entitles," he said thoughtfully, "So I guess I'll just wait to see what else I'm called upon for." He was totally enjoying this, incase you couldn't tell.
He couldn't help but laugh at Ellie. "Yeah, not having friends is definitely a downer." And believe it or not he had not had friends at one point in his life. He did not want to go back to that.
His smile faded at Ellie's reply and his blue eyes got big and round. "I-" He didn't exactly know what to say to make her feel better, or even if he could say anything to make her feel better. "You don't have to be here..." he murmured, looking up and down the table to see if there was anywhere else she could sit.
Or... maybe she meant here as in Hogwarts... oh well.
