But not entirely an unwelcome one...she actually felt a small tickle of accomplishment watching the first student be sorted and recalling how anxious she had been sitting on that stool...

Resisting removing the bag of crisps tucked in her robes pocket, Paige watched as a familiar face was sorted and...well...she would be lying if she said she was surprised by his placement. "I knew it," she smiled as Silas joined their table. "Welcome to Hufflepuff." She was just about to offer introductions when Hady appeared at their house table. "Congratulations on Head Girl, Hady," the seventh year smiled, someone she had hardly ever spoken to directly during their seven terms at Hogwarts but often admired from the next desk or two over during certain subjects. Particularly Transfiguration which Paige struggled with immensely.

Spotting the next to join the table (Philipe)...Paige decided it was time to get that bag of crisps out - along with the remaining chocolate from her impromptu fondue parties on the train ride over. Wand out, Paige gave the small container a tap so the chocolate could begin reheating itself and melt down to a delicious velvety texture. "Crisp?" she asked, leaning towards him while offering him the opened bag.

Even if they did have to wait a while longer. Plus he could see all the new Hufflepuffs sorted, one of his favorite things of a new term.

He took a seat near Katerina, Brady, and Miranda. "Hey guys! Good summer?" Of course he saw them at least briefly at some point, but it was always good to know what else everyone did. Plus it was a good conversation starter for back to school. Henry smiled back at Hady as she came over to say hello to all of them. He didn't really know her other than knowing she was in that band with Nat and Kelly.. plus some other girls too, but she seemed friendly. "Oh hey, you're head girl," he said, noticing the badge. "Congrats!" That was quite an accomplishment.

The fourteen year old also noticed the quieter boy (Philipe) who was in the year ahead of him and he gave him a friendly smile. He wasn't sure he ever had the chance to talk to him, even if he was sure he had seen him in the common room. And there was Paige sitting nearby too. He didn't know her all that well either, but gosh, everyone knew who Paige was. She got a friendly smile too. "You both glad to be back?" He was, mostly at least. But he'd be interested in knowing if they got up to anything fun this summer too.

Oh, hey! New Hufflepuffs were starting to arrive! Henry clapped for them as they were sorted and watched them head for their table. "Welcome to Hufflepuff!" he grinned at both Silas and Kimi. As he continued to watch the sorting and having some trouble keeping his focus there, he spotted Hattie at their table talking to a Slytherin (Skylar)he did not know. Very quietly, he levitated his napkin over towards Hattie, letting it fall and drape over her head. Chuckling to himself, he glanced up at the staff table for the first time, squinting a bit as he took in all the faces. "Whoa... a lot of new teachers this year."


Philipe looked up blinking, hearing someone saying something nearby... A crisp? He blinked up at the older girl and looked at the bag, "Oh... Um, thanks?" He gently took one and looked down awkwardly. He didn't mean for it to come out as a question, but with his younger siblings he'd been left to feel cautious whenever anyone offered him anything. But... Surely she was more mature than those, "I'm um... I'm Philipe." He looked up at her, starting to realize how introverted he really was, anything he said came out clumsy and awkward, this was why he didn't try to talk to anyone other than his girlfriend...

He glanced slightly further down from the older girl and saw a boy who looked close to his age smiling at him. He gave a very small weak smile back and went back to fiddling with the dog tag necklace with one hand, the other still held the crisp with he eyed cautiously still.
