The closer he got to what was apparently the Ravenclaw table, the more exhausted Daxton realised he was. What was worse was that it wasn't even over yet. The Sorting was the worst part, he decided, but he still needed to sit at a table full of people in the crowded Hall and probably eat with them and it would probably get loud.
Still with his hands clamped over his ears, Daxton approached and eyed the occupants of the table uncertainly, then sat down as far away from the general throng of people as he could possibly get. The only person he knew here so far was Char, and she was right in the middle of everyone, and also loud, and also he wanted to just take a moment to... well... he wasn't sure what. To gather himself. Calm his anxiety. Away from everyone else.
So he sent a scowl in their general direction to warn them all off, then focused his attention on the resplendent cutlery and crockery that adorned the table. Was this gold?
Would... would anyone notice if some of these goblets went... missing?
Stealing would require Daxton to remove his hands from his ears, though, and he didn't plan on doing that any time soon. So instead the newly sorted Ravenclaw eyed the goblet in front of him, staring at his warped but otherwise impassive reflection, trying to acclimatise to the strange way of life this school was already throwing at hi-
Daxton started. Part of the reflection in one of the goblets had him looking back up again. Staring. Was that a-...?
A ghost. That was a ghost. That was definitely a ghost. |
