People were really starting to pour now. Ravenclaw was going to be EXTRA awesome this year. Kate just knew it! She hoped they could pull off winning the house cup, but if they couldn't do that..., well then anything would be better than fourth place like last school year. She watched as one of the new firsties (Sabbath) asked to take the seat beside her. Ohh, he was nice! Kate smiled at him and scooted over. "Yeah, sure. I'm Kate, and welcome to Ravenclaw!" she said. "I may be biased, but it's the best house here!"

Glancing across the room, Kate saw Abby wave at her and waved back. "Hey, Abby! Want to help me make some s'mores?" she asked the girl. Abby had always been pretty cool to talk to. She had twin sisters, which was cool, too!

Kate saw Sophie Brown stroll in next. Well, maybe stroll wasn't the right word for it, but either way, their new Head Girl had arrived. Oh, and she was apparently friends with another new kid seemingly named Bud. What a name. Oh, well. HIII, BUD! Kate waved at both of them from across the room. Then there was yet another new girl (Reagan), who really didn't sound all that new. She was telling the two adults in the room that it was good to see them again. Hmm. "Hi," Kate said to her. "I'm Kate Addison. Welcome back to Hogwarts!"

Then there was DAVID! "Hey, David!" Kate greeted. He seemed nervous for some reason, which was odd considering he was an old pro at this place. "How'd you like the feast? Want to help me make some s'mores?" Questions. She had 'em.

...and now JANELLE! "Hey, roommate!" Kate said, only then realizing she'd started calling Janelle 'roommate' instead of her actual name. "Did you see that we have a third roommate?" Kate glanced around the room. "I have no idea where she went, though." She...DID make it up the common room with them, didn't she? Err... Maybe Kate should go looking for her soon? "Her name is Adelynn." She nodded when the talk turned to the s'mores. "Oh, yeah. It's awesome! I thought I was full, but I'm never too full for s'mores!"

Mr. Kittridge answered her question then, so Kate turned all her attention to the Head Honcho. "Sure thing, Mr. Kittridge," she said, pushing herself off the couch and making a move for the s'mores. Then she remembered Sabbath, who'd joined her on the couch. "You coming?" she asked him. Kate also noticed another boy (Austin) who either preferred being by himself or didn't know anybody at all. "Hey! I'm Kate. Want to help us make s'mores?" she said.

Kate reached the s'more making section and began stringing a few together. One of the house elves joined them and asked if he could help. Awww, so cute! "Hey, Tippin," she said to him.
