He got his appropriate robes on and made his way down to his house table. He saw it wasn't all the way filled in which was fine by him. He could find an easy seat. He found one right in the middle of the table so he could see who the new professors were. He squinted and saw some new faces. He nodded toward all his fellow housemates.
He looked down at his dish and saw it was empty. Welp that was problematic for his stomach.
As the Great Hall started to fill with more students Niomi searched for faces she recognized. So far, she stopped none. How odd. Then, before she was about to stop looking she saw someone she recognized. He was sitting down the table a little ways.
"Hi Colt," She greeted. Didn't hurt to say hi to some of the Slytherins she knew.

Hady was still trying to comprehend that she had also just rode in on the train with all her friends for the final time.
She was of age now. She was of age as well. A seventh year. Head Girl.
Taking a small breath Hadleigh pushed the large doors open and stepped into the Great Hall her eyes instantly seeking out the Staff Table even as she fixed the badge fasted onto her robes. Hazel eyes moved over each staff member sitting there. Headmaster Sohnoun was here again, interesting. Professor Stewart, Newton, Myers, McLeod and Hirsch were all here as well. Each one of them got a smile and a nod of the head in greeting, she would say hello to them later. The examination of professors didn't stop there not until she mentally counted the new people. To many. Way way waaaayyyyyy to many.
Where was Ichicara, Primeaux, Airey, Draper and Finch?!
This couldn't be happening. Not this term. Shaky breaths were happening right now and she couldn't help but turn her eyes towards the table of red and gold. Frankie. Where was the Head Boy and boyfriend, she needed to speak to him. Calm her nerves before going to greet everyone and make a quick round to the tables before the feast. Only she didn't see him...
Chewing her lower lip she exhaled slowly through her nose. Alright so there wouldn't be her going to the other table first. Running a hand through her hair and walking towards her table. The Slytherins. Nothing beat sitting with her house. The usual grin was on her face as she was determined to not show anything was wrong. It was all going to be okay.
"Hello everyone! Did you all have a good summer? Ready for a great term?" Hady was talking to everyone at the table. All of them. Bright smiles and waves for all her friends and the new house mates as well. The band mate got a curious look from her as she slid into an empty spot at the center of the table. Being in the middle made it easy to keep an eye on everyone.
Niomi continued to search the hall for familiar faces. She took a long stare at the long table for the Professors. There are so many new Hogwarts staff. Where did they previous Professors go? Niomi had no idea. How odd. That was none of her business though.
Once she decided she had enough of trying to figure out what's going on with the Hogwarts staff, she focused her attention back to looking around the Great Hall. Right away she spotted Hady, the head girl. Before Niomi could greet her, Hady greeted the present Slytherins. In reply Niomi said back,
"Hi Hady. I had a great summer. How was yours?" Quote:

Not that Sky minded; she was alright with older people and maybe the girl was new to Hogwarts and not sure who was in her year and whatnot. It seemed as if Hogwarts did get a slew of transfers each year.
Niomi. Huh, Sky definitely didn't recognize the name.
"Hi Niomi. I'm Skylar. Are you new to Hogwarts?" Sky asked curiously. And more nods as more familiar faces joined the table; it's good that there were at least familiar faces now. Perk of being older.
"It's nice to meet you Skylar." Was Niomi new to Hogwarts? Nope! She's been here for a very long time. With a small smile she answered Skylar's question, "
"No, I'm in sixth year and I've been here all six long years." After a small pause a question came to her to ask,
"Are you new? What year are you?" When Niomi meets new people she always has so many questions. She couldn't flat out ask someone all the questions she has. She needs to take the questions little by little. Her main question though was how old Skylar was. She was younger than Niomi, but looked older than a first year.

She's maybe mirror her, Zay, or Alex when she got back to her room before mirroring Roman.
Though she was going to hangout with Cal, Sha, and Vince tonight too.
She'd have to just see how the evening went before she decided on anything. Moving to find a seat she sat on the edge farthest from the staff table. There were many new faces and so many men. Did the headmaster not like women? Playing with her unicorn locket she shifted her eyes away from the adults and took a few breathes to calm her anxiety.
As Niomi searched the halls to greet fellow familiar Slytherins she noticed a girl her age. She sat as far away as she could get from everyone. If possible, it seems to be that she wouldn't even be here if it was on her terms. Was she new? Niomi didn't recognize her. The girl sat at the end of the table alone and Niomi felt bad for her.
Getting up, she walked towards the girl. Softly she smiled and said,
"Hi, I'm Niomi. Are you new here? You look lonely all by yourself sitting here. Would you like to come sit over here with me and a few others?" Hopefully Niomi didn't push it too hard on the girl. She hated to make people uncomfortable! She gasped at the thought of her possibly doing that just now. Something she hated and always hated doing.
