Looking up when she heard someone call her name, Vashti spotted Victoria and smiled. "Hey, Victoria!" she replied. "How's it going?" She was glad to see her friend again, especially in what appeared to be a good mood.

She admitted looking down at her hands resting on her lap, "..but I can't just see Kitty lying in her basket and everybody back home blaming me about it and do nothing! It's not fair." She looked up at Vashti and had her sad victim-like face on. "At least, I can try again. We didn’t find him that week.. maybe he's already dead! He must've had a lot of enemies." She tried to think 'realistically' as ordered before and that was the closest thing to an almost thirteen year old.

"I will work harder on classes this term.[/b]" She nodded smiling confidently. "I want us to win the house cup this year." She looked over at the staff table and saw the headmaster about to give his speech. She turned around and was eager to know what's new this year.

Vashti grinned at her friend's excitement and felt her own grow as well. This would be fun! She'd be able to introduce Louisa to the joys of flying on a broom, and she'd be getting some of her own practice in as well before the Quidditch tryouts started. It was a win-win situation really. But then it was back to DADA and Kitty, and her grin became a frown once again.

"I know it's not fair," she said slowly. "Life's never fair. But that doesn't mean you should go pick a fight with a Dark Wizard. If you want to do something to help Kitty, you ought to go to the Care of Magical Creatures professor or the Healer or anyone who would actually care to help. That man in Knockturn Alley, he won't care about helping you out whether you fight him or ask politely." Was she getting her point across at all? It seemed she might have a little bit, as Louisa suggested that the man might be dead. "That's definitely possible," she replied with a nod.

Ahh, the House Cup. "Ditto." Vashti knew she needed to work harder in her classes too, not only to earn Ravenclaw house points, but also because of her OWLs. If she wanted to pass them, she needed to prepare and practice and study study study as much as possible.

Louisa gave her friend many curious and wondering looks during the headmaster's speech but didn't speak. There were many things that didn't make much sense to her. Once the tables were fills with food and the very first thing any rational person like Louisa would do…was to start asking questions. "Lord Berty Borr? Isn't that the new minister?" She addressed Vashti. "And.. who names a kid Berty?" She added grinning. It was a funny name. Snicker! "I liked the group study thing. I think I study better with those." Her eyes rested on the pudding nearby and her stomach shouted 'HELLO!'.

"Anyways, the ship's safe from what he said." She said half-standing and grabbing the pudding over to her side. "And they'll let us explore it? That. Is. Fantastic." She said starting on the pudding. She had her mind diverted now between two equally important things: The ship and the pudding. Her spirit needed the first and her body needed the latter.

Vashti also turned to listen as the Headmaster ~~finally~~ gave his speech. She caught the looks Louisa was giving her throughout but still tried to keep her attention on the speech as much as possible while her stomach rumbled. And soon - FOOD.

As she started piling all the foods - all except the dinner rolls - onto her plate, she heard Louisa finally speak. "I guess so," she answered with a shrug. If Lord Berty Borr was the minister, that certainly explained why he wasn't seated at the staff table. That would be strange, though, having the minister as one of her professors. "Maybe 'Berty' is a nickname?" she suggested. Though what it would be short for, she wasn't sure. "Albert," maybe? If so, "Albert Borr" didn't have the same ring to it though, so she could see why someone would choose to stick with the nickname. She could only nod in agreement to liking the study groups, as she had just forked a slice of turkey into her mouth.

Vashti definitely looked forward to exploring that ship too, and she nodded again to show her agreement. She chewed her food thoughtfully, wondering about the ship and what it would be like to explore it.

Then, just as she gobbled down the last piece of food on her plate, there came a loud SQUAWKing noise. Merlin's beard! Was there a bird in here?! Or-

Oh? Turning, Vashti saw no bird, but she did see Ivory standing a little ways away, looking around the Ravenclaw table and calling for the firsties. Had she just squawked? Possibly. Vashti saw no one else around who would've done it, especially if getting everyone's attention was the goal.

So Vashti gave the girl a thumbs-up as she headed for the entrance of the Great Hall. "Nice," she commented with a grin, referring of course to both her handling of the firsties and her eagle impression abilities. Quite impressive, really, especially the latter. Hehe.

But alas, that meant the feast was over, and Vashti now had to say good-bye to her food. At least there was breakfast to look forward to in the morning, right? As she stood, she had to stifle a yawn; she was a lot more tired than she thought. "You two coming?" she asked, looking at Victoria and Louisa.
