Unfortunately, Olivia's train ride hadn't been the most pleasant experience. Oh, sure... she'd been happy enough upon boarding the train, but a person whom she cared for a great deal had found out her news, and needless to say, the reaction hadn't been a pleasant one. In fact, if Olivia had to guess, she would say that he would never forgive her for this. It was heartbreaking.

So, one could imagine...

Not that she was going to push this sadness off on others. There would only be smiles and happiness, because the blonde was so sick to death of doom and gloom, shouting, screaming... All of that. This was a fresh, new term...and she was NOT going backwards with her personal mental recovery. So, entering the great hall (after stopping off to check her makeup), the Lion!lady purposely made her way towards the Gryffindor House table. It was like Oprah in here. YOU get a smile... AND YOU get a smile... EVERYONE GETS SMILES! And even a few hugs were being dished out along the way. One for Dora, of course...Noelle, Levi, Mel... Also, she had to say, it was surprising how many people had actually returned to the school this term. It stood to reason that many parents might pull their children, but... Well, Olivia was tickled that this hadn't been the case. It reminded her to check in on Carlton and Abey after the food arrived; both of whom were most likely seated at the Slytherin table. All her babies that had been affected by the terrors of the previous term...Perhaps she could talk them into joining her for story time in the library; away from the upper floors. The scene of the crime, as it were.

"Hello, everyone!" It was said in a cheery fashion as she searched out an open spot to occupy. Naturally, Liv had wanted to sit near as many new faces as possible, because that was how she made friends, but it was a difficult choice. There was a surprising number of new faces. Hm. The one girl had gorgeous hair (Shayla), and she paused in her steps to tell her as much. A First Year (Jason) joined the table shortly after, and he received an encouraging nudge as she passed. Oh, Lance.....who'd just been sprayed by an unknown girl (Leona), Bentley, Prefect Ace... Aslan, little Théodore, Ava, a Ravenclaw girl she'd seen with Derf before (Jessa)... They all received recognition. Hello, hello!

Oh, and a lone Slytherin girl (Zarina)! "You're a cutie!"

Nothing was going to ruin her mood. NO. TH. ING.

It was just hard when she kept sending looks over at the Hufflepuff table, and Derf and Henry specifically. Plus Isa and Kane. In some ways, she was actually mad at the hat for deciding to put her in a different house. It was just that she didn’t think she could actually take that frustration out on said hat, considering there were plenty of people still up there needing to be Sorted. She’d just have to figure out how to make the best of it.

Finally arriving at the table, her grey-green eyes did manage to find someone she knew. The girl from the bookshop, so she slipped into a seat near her. Noelle. Who had a shiny badge pinned to her robes which made her curious. Curious was better than anything, plus there was the distraction of realizing that Emmeline had been sorted into Gryffindor too. And at least one face she thought she remembered from primary school.

Maybe it wouldn’t be quite as bad as she’d thought, but she was still starting to plan how she could sneak Derf into Gryffindor. There was Operation Goat stuff to talk about after all. Plus, she figured she could get Emmeline in on the sneaking in plot.

Finally finding someone to sit beside at the end of the table, the blonde tucked herself into place on the bench (because long legs were a pain) and grinned. The small girl seemed a bit glum, but Liv simply wasn't going to accept that. This was a happy occasion! The first day of Hogwarts! This school changed lives (some for the better, some not so much, but they weren't going to focus on that bit). "Mind if I sit with you?"

Also, there was a girl seated nearby who looked familiar but the name was escaping her (Samantha). "I'm not intruding, am I?" It was always polite to ask, you know.

Food.... Food could happen whenever. This Gryffindor was terribly hungry.
