It was a feat she'd only ever experienced when her mama had been renovating, or when she went on holiday with her sister. These experiences had become fewer and further in between as she'd gotten older, and although it would take some getting used to, she was sure she would not mind. Heck, she couldn't mind, because there was no changing it now.
"Don't worry," she smiled. "I know we didn't properly meet, Eliza -" and she only knew that because the older girl - Nerida, wasn't it? - had greeted her when she came in. Totally normal. "I'm Charlie. Fourth year." And maybe she'd know another fourth year now, and wouldn't feel so alone. She didn't cast much thought over the brunettes statement of coming in with the train, though - for all she knew, that was a small percentage of the population of students. She wasn't sure how else they would get here, but there must have been ways, right? Like, if you lived near, you wouldn't travel all the way to London just to come back? It had been bad enough going frown from Leicestershire. Which was, what? a couple of hours by car?
ANYWAY.
"I hope I do," Charlie grinned at Nerida's welcome, and her faith that she would love it. Everyone seemed to like Ravenclaw, she noticed, although she still had a longing to be closer to the doors, to the kitchens, to people she knew pretty well. Reaching over to unclip her cat basket, Charlie nodded in her direction as Huxley mentioned her name. "Sky! How adorable. This is Lightening." Because she was a total cat person, and Sky was almost as cool and cute as her own Bombay. But Lightning beat her to it, obviously. Hehe. Quote:

Except now they all know her name too, which they thought was cool. It was? “Uhm, thank you.” she murmured. Compliments are totally foreign to her and the young brunette just couldn’t figure out how to process that. Should she feel good? Should she be suspicious? Hmm, something to ponder....
She eyed Nerida’s hand for a moment before gingerly extending her hand and shaking the tip of the other girl’s extended fingers. Awkward smile. This was leaps and bounds progress on her social skills now, be happy yeah? Far better than her usual way of staring at hands she wouldn’t touch and leave the other fellow hanging.
And now with the pets. So the blue cat was named Sky. Blue.... Sky. Of course.
And then there is this other cat named Lightning. Huh. Should she expect someone to say they had a pet named Thunder? But then Huxley’s head darted sharply towards Eliza when she mentioned “A cat house?” Did she actually say she wanted Ravenclaw to be known as a cat house? “I---I really hope not.” She had nothing against cats, but pets was not the thought that popped into her head when that phrase came up.

It just seemed to slip her mind, you know? She smiled warmly at the brunette and said with vigor, "Wow, Huxley? I'm with Nerida on that one - that's a really cool name!" Really, she thought it was pretty edgy and modern and go-get-em sounding. She liked it a lot. So much in fact, she wondered if it would be weird for her to name a pet with that name at some point... Not that she'd think of Huxley as a pet whenever she talked to this hypothetical animal but, it was just snazzy. ...Food for thought.
She was also relieved to learn the train girl's name was Charlie, cause she had been so sleepy, she wasn't entirely sure if she knew it or not. "Well it's good to properly meet now!" she remarked brightly. This whole meeting new people and actually getting along with them, so far, was keeping Eliza's spirits up, up, up. "So yep, I'm Eliza, as you know now. And I'm a fourth year too," she elaborated with a nod.
Hugging Nerida back, Eliza grinned with delight. "I'm glad your summer was so good! And remodeling sounds nice though, even if you couldn't go upstairs. Do you like how it turned out?" She asked because, ever since coming to Hogwarts, she'd developed a new appreciation for architecture and room designs, something she'd sort of taken for granted before. It was after Huxley's comment that she noticed Nerida's cat, Sky, was here as well. After Nerida did her kitty introductions, Eliza knelt to let the blue cat sniff her hand before trying to pet her. "Oh, I'm so glad you found her, Nerida! Last I knew, she had run off somewhere." She turned back to Sky and talked softly, yet sternly to her. "Now you don't do that again this year okay, Sky? You had us worried!" If Sky was anything like Eliza's owl, Luna, though...she would do whatever she wanted to regardless of what any human or animal said.
And Charlie had a cat too?! Eliza was beyond excited. She had wanted a cat for school but still hadn't felt it was the right time to have one. She had several pets at home and just didn't think it would be fair to them to add yet another fuzzy friend. "It looks like we'll be the cat house instead of the eagle house this year," she joked as she went to pet Lightning. "Do you think they'll let other people pet and cuddle them sometimes? Like if we're in the dorm and you're out on the grounds somewhere?" She hoped so, because sometimes she did get a little homesick and having a cat to pet would be a nice comfort. Her owl wasn't too fond of snuggling.
Nerida gave a smile seeing that Huxley felt weird about the compliment or was it something else....Either way a smile she got.
Nerida gave a nod, "Yeah the kitchen looks amazing now... Don't tell my mom I know but she wants to throw me a Graduate party thing so you might hear from her, shes not very good at keeping things from these babies." She said pointing to her ears. Sky let the red head one touch her but only because she didn't feel like sniffing and sniffing as long as Nerida had her the redhead could touch her..Maybe when she felt like it she would permit a touch without Nerida. "Yes, she was sleeping in here under some books that had fallen....Stinking books I had looked everywhere and she was in the common room the whole time.." She giggled as Eliza tried telling Sky not to do things...If only she knew Sky only listened when she wanted to.
Hearing everyone mention their year she could too...Even if it was sad... "I'm a Seventh Year." Yeah could she stay at Hogwarts forever....Knowing she couldn't...
Lightening.. Cool name it would be epic is she had another so it could be Lightening and Thunder! But she probably didn't. She looked down at Sky be nice she gave her a look. Sky gave a sniff...Who was the cat??? Hearing Eliza she said "A cat house?" giving another look down at her cat. "We would never see Sky, shes one of those loner cats...I've tried making her not but she really just keeps to herself. If she recognizes you she might come up to you but usually you have to come up to her." lazy cat that she was. "If im not here and she really wants to pet she might attack you with licks and purring!!" "Yeah Ravenclaw The Cat House....Ravenclaw The Eagles....Going to have to pick the eagles..." She said in response to Huxley.. "No offence guys" she gave a look down at the two cats...
