More newly sorted Slytherins came down their table, and Ethan couldn't help but beam at each and everyone of them. Whether or not they are good or bad apples, he was sure that they've got something up their sleeves that will make his house proud. Sure, a good chunk of seventh years will be leaving school next year--himself included, but he's not all that sad about it. Slytherin will be in good hands. Those little, tiny first years, and transfers bear great promise.
SPOILER!!: Dante

"Um..Hey...and what was your name again"
And there was another one saying Hey. Sigh. At least he was not Prefect having to be absolutely nice to them. That would get annoying real fast. But he looked like he just got sorted into Slytherin. So good for him.
"Hey and welcome to Slytherin."
Look at him greeting people into Slytherin. He would get food for this like right now.
Well seemed like she had perfected to Slytherin nod that just about everyone does. Dante grinned.
"How have you been Hady"
High Five received and it was an awesome one at that. You would not except anything less from the two of them. And yeah "Thanks and yeah just trying not to do anything majorly stupid and how is Ethan the now Seventh Year doing."
That was the goal last year and Dante thought he succeeded.
Why was she here. She was alright. But he did watch just to make sure he was eating tonight and saw she was sorted into Gryffindor. Did she already greet her table already. Merlin she was quick. "Hey" and there she goes talking again. Oh well no use going on about it. Not like he could make her stop without using magic. Well now it made sense why she was here. She had a brother. Well he felt sorry for him.
"What's this new house you going on about, Ellery?"
More like rambling.
And there was the other now fourth year. Who did, what Dante wanted to do and arrive here later than almost everyone else. Lucky, she was. Brooklyn got a nod back and a grinned.
"So, how have you been Brooklyn?"
Merlin he is talking to much. He should get some food like right now. Hurry up....Botros. Well maybe he knew already or did not know. But that man was awesome. So good for you Mr. B. and Dante looked around the staff table and saw the Professor Q was not there. Say What! He was even going to call him by his name this term. Now he will never know. Dante would miss him. It had been fun, Professor Q. And there were a couple other new ones. At least Culloden was still there. Dante wanted to talk to him before another potion blew up and this time he would probably get Detention.
“You haven’t done any funny business during the trip here?” Ethan asked Dante.
“You could have done something fun and stupid on the way here though.” Points won't be taken from him should he get caught. Whoa, wait. Did he just gave him that advice? Go him.
“Just...don’t get caught if you decide to do something fun in the dorms tonight.” He was such a good seventh year, really.
“Me? It’s great to have the trace officially off me. I’ve deen doing all kinds of spells during our summer break. Not looking forward to NEWTs this term though.” Urrrrr...
SPOILER!!: Colt

He needed to adjust though whenever his family comes over because they are loud being italians and all. He smirked and asked the kid, "Hey kid you okay?" He just needed to watch out for his fellow snake is all.
He also saw Oliver from the train and he was three seats down. He punched him in the arm playfully and asked, "Hey you okay?" he seemed a little down.
Ethan whipped his beautiful head toward the boy who called out his attention. Did he just call him
dude? Sounds promising. Grayson would approve if he was still there sat beside him.
"Hello there, brotha. Welcome to Slytherin." Ethan gave the boy a snappy salute.
"I'm Ethan Mordaunt, Seventh year. What's your name?" Cool kid number 2 must have a name, yes?
The blond teen got his goblet again to drink, but watched the not so firstie fellow interact with two more newly sorted Slytherins. Would you look at that? They were all so random. Two were making lots of noise, one looked overwhelmed, and the one being comforted looked like the world has crashed on his shoulders.

SPOILER!!: Ellery + Oliver

Easy peasy. Lemon squeezy.
AHHH.
Ellery skidded into the table, immediately clasping Olly's head to her chest and hugging the daylights out of him.
"OkaysoIalreadyhaveaSEMI-FORMULATEDPLANthatinvolvesuscreatingaFIFTHHOUSEcal ledSquiddadorandthesquidcanbeourheadofhouseanditwi lljustbethetwoofus, okay?" THAT WORKED YES.
Oh look. Other people she knew. "Hi Dante! Hi, Josie's Ethan! You never told me who Josie was. Is she your giiiiiiirlfriend?" DEEP BREATH. "Hey, you two, you guys would help me and my brother here form a fifth house, right? You guys could be the prefects!!!"
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
Oh. OH. He must have been expecting to be sorted in another house, yes? Or...was it simply because he already misses home? First years are usually like that, yeah? After taking a small sip from his goblet, Ethan opened his mouth to try and comfort the boy, but some...FAMILIAR girl had beat him to it. And was she trying to KILL his NEW housemate with a death grip-slash-hug?
Ethan gaped at the girl and almost dropped his goblet on the floor. What?
Girlfriend? Ethan’s mouth made movements, much like a fish gasping for air. The blond teen breathed in, and let out a looooong sigh. The silence was then followed by chuckles. TOO BAD, little girl over there didn’t end up in Slytherin. She could be the next Ethan Mordaunt for Slytherin once the seventh year exits Hogwarts. SUCH POTENTIAL, GOOD MERLIN. Placing his goblet next to his plate, Ethan turned to face the Gryffindor.
“No she’s not...yet my girlfriend.” Well...who’d want him to be one’s boyfriend, yeah? He’s weird...and pretty much mediocre compared to...let’s say, Simon. Grayson, even.
And...what about this fifth house talk?
“Eh?” Ethan asked as he tilted his head in query. Also,
“I believe I didn’t get your name back in Diagon Alley...Miss Hugger.” Well, she did claim him like a rag doll back there, but to be honest, kid was being adorable.
“And...you must be...related to Miss Hugger?” he continued as he directed his question to the (
Oliver) mercilessly hugged boy.
SPOILER!!: Brooklyn

Grayson and Ruby had graduated, and Professor Bellaire had just LEFT. Which she was still trying not to think about, meaning she’d barely glanced at the staff table as she’d walked over to her table and squeezed into a seat near Hady and Ethan. Pointedly ignoring at least one face who quite obviously did not belong there, in Hufflepuff robes. Anyone else from the other houses just got glances. At least one girl (Ellery) sort of looked like she had a reason for being there, if the way she was hugging a newly-sorted snake told her anything. Ew, hugs. As long as she didn’t get it in her mind to hug everyone there, though…
Ethan, Hady, Dot, Dante, Maggie and even Caleb got nods from her, though. Acknowledgment. And, apparently, Colt. It was interesting that he was there. That he’d been sorted into Slytherin. “Colt,” she said. She remembered, but then, she still couldn’t believe he’d actually been named after a baby horse. In any case, her attention quickly went back to Ethan and the others. Still semi-ignoring the goings-on at the staff table. At least Healer Murdoch was still there. There was still one person who made sense. She still didn’t care to find out who she was going to have to learn how they worked, anyway. That could happen later, once she absolutely didn’t have a chance to ignore it. Like, classes.
More old students came to their table, and each of them got grins and nods from the seventh year. One of them was Brooklyn.
“Not being grumpy tonight, I see. I like it.” Ethan gave the younger snake a tiny wave, fearing that said she-snake might actually be in a bad mood and decides to break all of his digits. Seriously, she could use a small smile, yeah?
“How was your summer?” he said as he propped his elbow on the table, and placed his chin in his hand. He was all ears.
