One of the highlights of the shindig of course would be the sorting. Lots of attitude were revealed during the ceremony, and Ethan enjoyed being a witness. He'd clap here and there, even chuckled at the tiny little girl who was sorted in Gryffindor but was in denial.
"The Sorting Hat is never wrong..." Well, in his case, maybe it's an exception?
Anyway.
SPOILER!!: Dante

Dante gave Hady a nod as she sat down. Though they hardly talk. They were in the same year and all. So friendly nod it was. And see hufflepuffs really were nice. You can really say anything bad about them. Well you could but the effort would not be worth it. To Dante at least. "Hey. What's Up, Adi. It's going fine. How have you been. Mr. Seventh Year Prefect"
And speaking of seventh years There was Ethan. Merlin, when was the last time Dante had saw him. "Yo Ethan!" Dante went up for a high five because it was Ethan. Though that got Dante thinking it was a same he could not show Grayson his sup nod.
He had mastered it finally.
Hello to you too Maggie. Though he thought she was mad about something. Dante had no idea what. But whatever, it did not matter anymore. "Everything and nothing. Just the sorting so far. Though all i want to do is eat"
Still those first years were amusing.
Ethan took a break and directed his attention to his fellows. Holy cow, is that Dante? The blond seventh year did squint at him first, and couldn't remember one of the young ones looking too fine. Wait hold up, Dante is a Barrington, so probably it's in his blood? Yeah, he met Nigel when he was in his third year, and to Ethan, the guy was pretty cool...and good looking, because of hair reasons. Uh-huh. Convinced that it was Dante, Ethan gave him a sup nod and returned his high five. Cool kid is cool.
"Looking good, D." that kid was meant to break hearts...like most Slytherins. Hehehe.
"It's nice to see you back, and well." After the Acromantula Attack last term, he was happy to see old faces again.
SPOILER!!: Caleb

As for right now - nope, nothing. Huh. Perhaps the hunger was just too powerful right now. As if on cue, the second that thought popped into his head - a loud growl escaped from his stomach.
Smiling, he plopped down next to Ethan, one of the Slytherins he hadn't talked to in - well, a long time! Not since the spider disaster last term, when he had been running around like crazy trying to FIND all his snakes.
"What's up, Mordaunt?" he asked with a grin as he grabbed a goblet of pumpkin juice and took a sip. MMMMM.
The seventh year turned to his other side, and gave the newcomer a huge grin and a good old pat on the back.
"Heeeey, Mr. Prefect sir. Good to see you back." Well who wouldn't, right? Ethan was sure that Caleb will do another mighty fine job again this term.
"Glad we're done with acro--" Ethan stopped mid-sentence and did a quick sweep of their table. Didn't want to be overheard by tiny first years, eh?
"Spiders I mean." Ahem. Ethan grinned as he took a sip of pumpkin juice from his own goblet.
"So, are you ready for our last term?" Urrrrrrrr. URRRRRRR, NEWTs year, EUUUUUUURRR.
SPOILER!!: Hady

No worries here Adi this snakette was just fine. "Hey Adi, how are you?" she greeted him lightly.
Hady barely got her greeting out to Hady when a ball of energy came her way plopping itself down beside her. Hello. "Hey Echo, it was um...somewhat eventful. Just met up with a few people." Fellow friends from past years and a new buddy. It wasn't to terrible really. Shifting her gaze around the table she spotted the glare the younger snake sent towards Adi which puzzled her. Didn't everyone like Adi?
SPOILER!!: Ethan
So it is the beginning of his many lasts, yes? Ethan had been quiet all throughout the trip, and was sort of relieved and sad at the same time as soon as he stepped inside the Great Hall. Literally, everyone was so small from his perspective forgetting that he was once one of those...small people, weaving his way around the chaos, which is the Opening Feast.
Wasn’t it just yesterday when he took his sorting? Ethan chuckled at the memory. He had to admit it was one for the books.
Shifting his gaze from the Sorting, he looked on and toward the Staff Table. The blond seventh year deadpanned, and saw that...a good chunk of the old staff were gone and replaced with...new ones. OH AND HELL NO ANOTHER HERBOLOGY PROFESSOR!? Whyyy does the change have to land on one of his weakest subjects?! And during his seventh year, nonetheless?!
Err...Urrr...urrr.
The Slytherin pushed the thought aside for now, as he joined his fellow Slytherins for the Opening Feast. Oh and what’s this? Early invasion from the Badgers? Grinning, Ethan swaggered towards the lot and gave them all a nonchalant salute. “HELLO THERE MY PEOPLE!” that goes out to the yellow robed fellows too. “YO. SUP. HOW DO YOU DO?” he added, as he plopped down next to Hady and Echo.
Merlin. It feels SO weird without Grayson around...
And where are his MATES? Cutty? Simon?
...
Brooklyn, even?
Just seconds ago this table had been EMPTY! What happened here?! Shifting a little in her seat the fourth year turned her attention towards yet another person sitting near her. She didn't know him all that well but he never did anything to bug her so that made him cool in her book. So Ethan got a nod in greeting from her. It was something at least to show she WAS paying attention. Even if she didn't look it, when she raised a hand and quickly rubbed a palm to her eye in a semi sleepy manner.
Oh! Lookit! Her newest friend was officially a snake! Hady grinned at Colt giving him a nod of welcome when she saw his smile. "Nice to have you joining us Colt, you'll like it." She was sure of it. And if for some reason he didn't like being a snake...well then there was something seriously wrong with him.
The brunettes gaze had only shifted from the table for a second. Barely a second as she glanced around the room before she noticed blonde hair out the corner of her eye. Blonde hair belonging to a fellow female snake and dorm mate. Not feeling the need to say anything since Maggie hadn't spoken either she simply returned the girls greeting with a simply nod of her head. She still wasn't sure what was going on here...one moment they appeared to be friends and then the other she had no clue. It was going to be day by day for her with this.
Just as she was nodding her head towards Maggie she saw Abby walking towards the table. Knowing the slightly older girl pretty well Hady gave her a tiny smile and a small wave. She was welcome to come sit with the growing group here if she liked.
Another nod. That seemed like the famous greeting tonight. Not that she minded one bit. Dante wasn't one she spoke to really it they had really spoken at all but hey he was a snake so yes he got a nod as well. Hello.
Aaww! Another firstie! Hady couldn't really help but give the kid a slight smile when she walked towards her. "Hey, welcome to the snakes," she greeted simply. There really wasn't much to say there. He'd learn what the snakes were all about soon enough.
A quick glance around once more found no one else to greet. That was fine by her. Forgetting her locket for a moment Hady went about tucking a strand of green hair behind her ear. She knew it wouldn't stay there, it never did but it was worth a shot for moment.
As he continued to drink from his goblet, he took notice of Hady. Yes, well, they haven't talked much, but a fellow Slytherin was a friend, so...Ethan smiled back at the younger Snake, and tilted his head when he saw her rub her face.
"Is everthing alright?" Surely, she's just tired from the trip, yes?
SPOILER!!: Lucas

"Hey! I'm Lucas!" He glanced around for a seat and wondered if he should go look for Echo and Colt or if they thought he was annoying.
He spotted a girl who seemed either bored or not feeling good or something... maybe she was lonely maybe she was hungry or whatever... girls were weird and confusing especially older girls. Lucas made his way over to the older girl.
"HI!" He waved and looked around for a seat, thinking about Echo and Colt again... still looking for them. He wondered if they had noticed that he got sorted into Slytherin or if they would care about a firstie.
Lucas glanced around and eyed the
old boy. He wandered over especially since he saw Echo was next to him!!!
"Hi!" He waved and eamed, choosing a spot near Echo finally and glancing around, hoping that Colt was near by.
Lucas beamed as he saw Echo and Colt.
"HEY GUYS!" He bounced over and plopped down near the two of them.
"I got Slytherin! Just like the two of you!" He beamed and looked around for food, frowning. He was hungry and wanted it now! His stomach growled loudly in agreement. Lucas swung his legs and looked around, hoping for some food soon.
There was a girl about his age not so far away. He wondered if she was a first year too because she was glancing around and seemed to be a little amazed. He smiled and waved at her.
"Hey!" He looked back over at Echo and Colt then back at her.
He spotted someone that was his age...
FINALLY! He beamed and plopped down.
"Hey! I'm Lucas! I just got sorted into this house too!" Lucas beamed and watched as the boy tapped his things on the edge of the table. That looks so much fun! He decided to join in with a beam. Tap tap TapTAPPAtaptaptap tAP TAP TAP TAPTAPTAPTAP tap tap tap. He wasn't going by the boy's beat but a random one. He beamed and looked around at the table before looking at him.
Oh and look! One of the newly sorted SLYTHERINS! YESSS!!! Ethan made room for the tiny kid and gave him a beamy smile.
"Hey there! WelcomeToSlytherinWhatsYourName??" he's excited, can you tell?
