"But, I'm sure it won't be like this for the whole term. They'll fix it. They always do. Are you excited for your first year?" She said, a smile beaming on her face.
Her frown remained in place as the older Hufflepuff tried to set her at ease. So this whole picnic vibe was just this year. Odd choice of themes but who was she to judge. The conversation turned to her own excitement and she smiled again.
"I am! I can't wait to start learning magic and everything else to do with magic!" She couldn't wait to be able to use her wand!

Standing she clapped and cheered for her as she walked over, “Bay this is awesome, I’m so excited for you. Welcome to Hufflepuff! You are going to be a great addition for us!” She had all the faith in Bay, she wasn’t sure why, but she just felt that Bay would be a great student here.
Plus the little puffer needed a great family group of friends and this house was a great house to be in for that family of friends. She couldn’t be happier with her awesome friends and her little badgers and now she could adopt another one in that group. Giving her a small hug and hoping she didn’t mind Min smiled, “Now we wait for the headmistress to talk and then the food should be here, even though I’m not sure about this silverware this term, but no biggie, we will still have a great time and good food.”
Oooooo! Hugs! She didn't get them very often and loved when they came. Bay relaxed into Minnie as the older girl gave her a congratulatory hug. She was extremely happy to be in the same house with her. That meant if she had questions she knew where to get answers from. She laughed heartily along with Minnie. She was so happy!
Just as she mentioned Headmistress talking the very woman stood up and started rambling on. Bay wasn't quite sure what was said as she couldn't keep up. The promise of food at the end though kept her small body still....for the most part.

"H...Hi..HI!" he stammered. "I am Kace and what is your name. I am a newly sorted puff too." he smiled at her.
Whoa! Boy in the face! Bay smiled at the boy and his stammering. He looked about her age and as nervous as she was. Though she had to admit her looked a little more together than she was.
"I'm Bay. Nice to meet you Kace. Did you want to get sorted into Hufflepuff?" She was just happy to have been sorted.

Though she really didn't look to sure of herself.. lost a bit of the wonder she had on the train. Not that he blamed her, really.. things were weird today. "Congrats on your placement.. there are a lot of good people in Hufflepuff." His girlfriend being one.. and she had already met her.
"Ethan!" Bay waved wildly at him, more than a little relieved to see a familiar face.
"Thanks. I'm not sure what being a Hufflepuff means but I was just glad to get sorted." Being sorted meant she was actually a witch. There had been no mistake and she wouldn't have to go back to the orphanage.

In fact, the chicken is dry and flavorless, the mashed potatoes are a sloppy, boring mess, the broccoli hardly seems cooked at all - and there’s not even cheese on it! And on top of that, the butterless bread looks more like bricks of charcoal. Not only does the food look and taste somewhat unappetizing, there’s hardly any variety.
On the bright side, there’s loads of ice cream! Bowls and bowls and bowls of ice cream have appeared along the center of the table amongst the lousy dinner dishes. Good thing your mother isn’t here to make sure you eat your undercooked broccoli before dessert!
As the tall lady finally finished talking food appeared on the table. Her stomach gave a rumble as she turned excitedly but her excitement soon diminished. Was this what passed for food in this place? Is this was everyone had been bragging about? The food in the orphanage was better than this rabble!
Bay picked up a piece of bread and tried to break it in half. When the bit of bread wouldn't break she banged it on the table a few times. Frustrated and hungry little puff dropped the breadrock on her plastic plate and put her chin in her hands. Great. Starving and nothing to eat.
