Taking that brief moment, she smiled and continued on her way toward the Ravenclaw table. Of course, she didn't know anyone she saw seating there. Some of them looked vaguely familiar, but no names popped out at her yet. She was drawing a blank as she continued down toward the other end of the table. It wasn't like she was going to seat at the end were all the new students and firsties did. No, she wasn't new at all. Yes, she hadn't been around for two years, but she wasn't new to this place.
Spotting a familiar head, she skipped over and seat down beside the one Ravvie that always made her laugh. She could still remember the last time she sat beside him in that very hall. He was banging his head against the table and it made her giggle.
"Hello again, Jacob."
Jacob's head whipped around from the first years to Mina, who once again sat by him. It was good to finally have some friends back. The people he'd been sorted with left, and now some seemed to be returning.
"Hey you. Long time, no see" he said with a joking smile. He'd jumped ahead of her as they came by carriage up Hogsmead, but she'd caught up.
Jacob surveyed everything that was happening, when he saw Ivory, Treyen, Ellie and a Ravenclaw who he didn't know by name. But someone else approached the group... an almost familiar face, and as he overheard most of the conversations around him, but he heard one word from that group. 'Tiberius'? He knew that name.
"Is that...?" but Jacob didn't bother to finish the question, he simply pointed at the boy, not even attempting to keep his voice down or his pointing discrete. Jacob was slightly confused.
Nah. Couldn't be Tibi! It just couldn't.
