I suppose she's right. Adanna smiled as the thought to herself. Such a kind and pretty woman the professor was! She was certainly looking forward to her class.
She walked back to her chair and fell backward into it. She looked around, wondering if she should say something to somebody. Communication had never really been her strong point.
Sadie had known that going to see the dormitories right after she'd entered the common room had been a bad idea. Not only was the common room absolutely
stuffed with Hufflepuffs, but she'd missed a speech from the Head of House (whom she would now have to recognize by voice). To make things worse, she couldn't find the only two Hufflepuffs she'd met at the feast, which made her begin to feel loneliness creeping into her heart.
A tad frustrated and extremely tired from the day's excitement, Sadie scoured the room for an empty chair, but no such luck. Sadie had nearly turned back to the dormitory entrance when out of the corner of her eye, she saw an older student rising. While it was a risky move, Sadie dashed to the chair, not worrying about the older student's impression of her, as she was
determined to find her friends.
Or make some new ones, so it seemed. A tiny girl was seated in the chair next to her, also looking around the room as if searching for someone to talk to her. Sadie immediately noticed the girl's strawberry blonde, curly hair, as it reminded her of her best Muggle friend back home, and took this as a cue to talk to the girl.
"Excuse me, I was wondering if you knew the name of our Head of House? I
just missed their speech 'cause I was in the dormitories." Sadie added a friendly smile and hoped that she didn't seem too bold or something like that. "I'm Sadie, by the way."
