Though she was just enthusiastic and friendly in general, so maybe that had something to do with it? "Sorry about family stuff," he knew how bad that could get. Even if he didn't really have family stuff. Just you know, with Kevin and how brutal his parents were being with keeping him on lock down. Family stuff was the worst. Right next to potion's homework. "Yeah, I did a lot this summer. Kind of sad that it's over now, but it was lots of fun while it lasted" he nodded, looking around the Great Hall. As for her gut feeling about this term... Ahem... "I hope so." Hopefully no student deaths. Or detentions. Or expulsions. Hopefully just a quiet year at Hogwarts. LULZ. Good one, Z. Good one.

Emmylou blinked and blushed a little bit. "How I do it?" She shrugged. "I don't know how I do it. I'm just greeting them." Emmylou really didn't find it a big deal, she was just welcoming all the new students and it was perfectly fine to her. "Thank you, only a few people have said that to me." The family stuff she really didn't want to think about but it was popping up in her head at random times. Emmylou nodded. "I really wish I was able to have a longer summer to see if it would have ended up a lot better." The sixth year nodded. "Me too."

Although, it was official now. He was going to forget everyone's name by tomorrow. "HI Emm...loo," he hesitated with the pronunciation, "Erm, I'm Lancelot, buuuut you can just call me Lance. Everyone does."

Except his grandmother.

The sixth year couldn't help but beam. It made her happy when she would see someone sorted into the Gryffindor house that was happy to be here. The sorting hat knew where to put you so if you were in any of the houses then you were meant to be there. She giggled at him when he tried to say here name. It was close enough and no horribly off. "Lancelot? That's such an awesome name!" She nodded and beamed more. Oh wait! He wanted to be called Lance. "I mean Lance. It's very nice to meet you Lance."

The sixth year noticed the guy sit back down. Wrong timing? Had to be. As he spoke Emmylou frowned a but. It was clear that he wasn't as excited as her and he really didn't want to talk at all. So why even try? What was even the point. The blonde stood up. "Yes, I'm obviously glad to be back at Hogwarts and you obviously aren't too thrilled to be here or to even be talking to me." Emmylou stood up, this was very unlike her but she didn't want her happiness to be ruined by one person that wasn't happy to be back. If you don't want to be at Hogwarts then why come at all? "I'm very sorry that I bothered you and wasted your time." She said as she walked away.
