Olivia felt excited when yet another girl chose to sit next to her. Maybe making friends here wouldn't be so bad after all. "Hi, Luna. I'm Olivia, and this is Emmy. Yes, I'm a first year too. I'm so excited for classes, aren't you?" Olivia couldn't wait to be able to do all the magical things she'd seen happen around her since she was born.
"It's nice to meet you!" Emmy said enthusiastically. "Yea, I'm a first year too."

"Oh playing music how lovely! I myself play the harp, PianoForte, and flute." Alice commented, then decided to add "Pianoforte is the proper name for a piano."
" The harp?? I've always wantedd to learn how to play one!" Emmy said truthfully. She loved the sound of a harp when it was played well. " The flute would also be really fun to play, I took one lesson, but then decided I should improve my other instruments before I took on a new one."

"Uh, sure..." *giggle* "But usually we don't live on them. Just fly for a few hours. I'll show you a picture if you want."

Gavin laught in delight at the story. It was such a nice story! He felt for the poor kid who got grounded but it reminded him of his own experience with magic when he first found out he may be a wizard himself.
"How did you begin to suspect you may be a witch?" he asked Emerald. He wondered if she had as good a story.
Gavin stomach growl loudly... He was getting hungry.
" Oh, me? I just....er....well." Emmy's story was quite embarassing to her, even though it was a lot like Ethan's. " Well, my family was on vacation in the Bahamas. We were just touring around the island one day, and Ethan was driving me crazy! He wouldn't stop complaining about all of the spiders around. So, when we stopped to take a family picture, I stood as far away from him as possible, so I wouldn't have to listen. Right before the picture was taken, I saw a huge spider a few feet away, and before I knew it, it was on Ethan's face!! I still have the picture of him screaming...." she chuckled nervously. Even though it was one of her favorite memories, she didn't like to tell many people about it. Most people found it kind of odd. Understandably. "When did you start to realize you were different?"
