SPOILER!!: Dora and Mason Quote:

Sliding into the seat next to him the blonde offered a big smile.
Possibly tinged with relief at her escape from the table of Hell. "Hey. I'm sitting with you, " she announced while plopping her chin on her arms dramatically. Why was the feast SO LONG?! Quote:

But even in that second he had noticed the HB written on it. He followed him with his eyes to see who it was and sure enough it was Rooney. Pleased that a Ravenclaw was the new Head Boy, Mason made a mental note to congratulate the guy when they were up at the dormitory as they shared one anyways.
For now, the Ravenclaw looked to his side and realised that Dora had taken a seat next to him. He had not even seen her coming over... "okay..." was the only thing he could say as the girl sat down and he watched her put her chin on her arms dramatically. He laughed. "Are you hungry, tired or both?" cause he was both.
Then he saw something surprising. Well, maybe not that surprising for the Ravenclaw house but he rarely saw anyone except for himself reading a book in public. It was a guy (Teddy) sitting near him a bit to the right on the opposite side. Mason leaned forward and mimicked Dora's chin on the arm position but while she seemed to be sulking about the lack of food, he was trying to read the book title the guy was reading.
Creeped out by the staring? Too bad. With a smile at Mason, his dormmate, Rooney went on over to ask him how his summer was before everything got hectic in the great hall and the food got here. He was just about to drop into the seat beside the boy when a Gryffindor girl passed him and sat there. He didn't immediately know who it was, but just had just caught the glimmer of red on her robes. "Oop, sorry." He hadn't actually realised that Mason had girls visit him at their house table. Nor that Mason was close with any girls. Was it that his dorm mate had a girlfriend and Rooney was none the wiser?
"How long have you guys been together? Or is it a new thing since summer? Mase, you never told us." Hah. The boys in their dorm weren't really that close anyway, but there was some sort of mutual respect as it went between Vincent, Chris, Mason, Luke and Rooney. "Details in the dorm later, Mase. I have stuff to tell you guys anyway." About the looooooooooove of his life being soooooooo wonderful. Quote:

“Hello Rooney,” she greeted the seventh year as he joined the fray of the Ravenclaw table. “Congrats on the Head Boy!” Cassie added with a smile. Woot! The house of Rowena Ravenclaw had earned one of the heads this term. A nice change from previous years. It was becoming a habit of Rooney's to only properly talk to some of his housemates at the feasts either end of the school year, and Cassie was one of those housemates. "Thanks, Cassie! How was your summer?" He remembered that they had discussed their plans before leaving school and he hoped that she had gotten to do the things that she had wanted. "I just hope I can be a good Head Boy for the school." Lots of hoping here, especially now he had to use it to the best of his ability to get into a university to continue his education before his Olivia graduated and they could continue their forever, together. SPOILER!!: Aurora and Lorelei Quote:

She took a deep breath and blew it out. That was too many questions for the first night and she was hungry.
She noticed a girl from Gryffindor come and sit at their table. Cool, you could sit wherever you liked. Not that she wanted to move, she was elated with being in Ravenclaw and not Gryffindor like all of her family before her. Quote:

She wasn't in the least bit surprised about having been Sorted into Ravenclaw; her father had been Sorted there before her, so it was becoming a bit of a family tradition.
The train ride had been a long one. For the most part she had been in her compartment by herself, although every now and then a few students would sit with her. Lorelei wondered if she would make friends with anyone or if her books would become her only company.
Don't think about it, she thought to herself.It's only the first night here. Other first years are probably feeling the same way you are. It's normal.
Was it, though? Even the other first years apparently knew some of the older students. Lorelei sighed. Only time would tell. And here started coming the youngsters, the newbs, the baby claws. Rooney offered a large smile as they joined the Ravenclaw table, making sure that there were spaces for them to sit down. "Welcome, welcome! Congratulations on being sorted into Ravenclaw!! I'm Rooney Bronwyn and I'm one of your house Prefects and Head Boy this year! Kitty and I" he gestured to the other Ravenclaw Prefect with a pass of his hand, "will be here for anything you need throughout the year. When the feast is over we'll lead you on up to Ravenclaw Tower and get you safely to your dorms."
Looking towards the staff table, he then pointed out Professor Hirsch. "The Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor is our Head of House, Professor Hirsch. He's great and will give you any sort of advice you go to him about. I've never encountered a more professional Professor in my time at Hogwarts." He had a whole lot of love for the man, he was practically a second father to the Bronwyn boy.
"Any questions?" SPOILER!!: Jessa aka the first character of Dani's that Roo likes Quote:

There were her prefects, both of whom got a smile but it was evident Rooney got a wider and more enthusiastic one. He was great, really, and was super helpful back when she'd been a Firstie who was constantly lost in the corridors. Amazing how much smaller the castle got by the year--and quite a relief too. "My summer was alright. Had a lot of fun and got to see my friends a whole bunch." In reply to Kitty's question before turning a beam to Rooney, she would even lean over onto the table a bit in order to catch his attention. "What about you Rooney? Did you enjoy your summer too? Any spectacular performances?" She did enjoy the impromptu ones he sometimes gave.
"Hi Mason!" She returned, having caught the older boy's greeting. He'd seemed a little preoccupied when he'd taken his seat, leaving her uncertain as to whether or not he'd have been up for a conversation but now he surely seemed to be. "You've already got your exam schedule up? That's positively wild." It reminded her of Chloe. Speaking of, where was the girl?
And just across from her sat yet another older student (Teddy), this one more preoccupied than Mason had seemed by virtue of the fact he was reading.
"What's that about?" Was it a good read?
The girl found herself sinking lower into her seat at the appearance of the Gryffindor from the train (Dora). The abrasive one that she didn't particularly fancy having another run in with. Just play it cool, she was talking to Mason and probably wouldn't even see her. It was the best she could hope for.
She would distract herself with her conversations, like Cassie here and her OWLs. "I know students who spent the whole year studying even though the exams aren't til the summer draws closer. D'you think you'll be in the Library til odd hours too? D'you need any help?" As it happened, she tended to be in the library at odd hours too...albeit for different reasons.
Oh! The girl from the train! (Aurora) Jessa grinned over at the girl as she took a seat, remembering the fun they'd had back on the train. It'd been brilliant while it lasted. "Welcome to Ravenclaw! You'll really like it here I think. The Knocker takes some getting used to but once you get the hang of it, you might only get locked out half the time." Which was pretty promising stuff if you asked her. Seconds late, another of the newly sorted joined them (Lorelei). So MANY!"Welcome! Are you excited about the sorting?" Rooney immediately headed in the direction of Miss Jessa Cambridge when he saw her, giving her hair a playful ruffle as he did with his younger sister also. "Hey trouble. Not planning on getting lost this year, are you?" He always found the ones that got lost around the school for some reason. Maybe he was the only student leader on the lookout for them or they all waited for him to be on patrol, but he vividly remembered finding this one in her first year completely lost. Also Christopher Montmorency was another of the lost ones that Rooney had found before. He looked quickly around to see if that was another student that had returned this year.
"Parents not keeping you away from the castle after last year? Your sister is an Auror, right?" It was nice to see that despite the Hogwarts community banding together at only one time in the year, parents had still most of them back with trust in their Headmistress. Maybe this year if something went wrong, there would be some sort of rescue attempt from the get go. And not when it came to two first years. All reasons why Rooney was grateful to have his new position as Head Boy, because he was going to make sure that the Headmistress was kept up to date on how things should have been happening and that he was kept up to date on what was happening. Instead of being left in the dark, as it had seemed for the majority of last year.
Communication, please. Quote:

Over to the blue table already...? Seemed like the term was off to a good start then.
Walking down the table, Sam gave a 'Congrats' to the new Head Boy as she passed, and a few hellos to returning friends. Oh! And there were already some new firsties at the table. How exciting. "Welcome! Welcome!" she greeted them (Aurora and Lorelai), raising her hand for a high five. She was the cool-totally-not-stressed-about-OWLs fifth year, 'kay?
"Someone forget to eat on the train?" she commented at the rummaging, as she slipped into the seat opposite the Gryffindor with a grin. "Hi Mason. What'd I miss?" Roo grinned at the congratulations coming from Miss Sam Tyler, giving her a thumbs up and a wave that almost promised that he would pop over a little later to catch up with her. And once again thank her for the thing in the common room with Kitty. It meant more to him than anyone was properly aware as he had been in a very bad place then. Now, he was in a much better place with his path ahead carved out beautifully, with a beautiful young woman on his arm for the rest of his days. Quote:

Oh and look at that? The table was already filling up. She greet everyone as she headed down the table, because it was a lot easier that way. "Mason! Did you have a good summer? Kitty! Good to see you again. Sammy, Cassie, Kirk, how were your summers?"
Oh, what's this? A couple of new Ravenclaws already? She smiled warmly at Aurora and Lorelei. "Welcome to Ravenclaw. Excited? I know that I was when I first got here. Oh, I'm Hadley, by the way. If you need help with anything, or..." Hads glanced around conspiratorially and leaned in a bit closer, "or just want to mess with our resident Rooster, come see me, okay?"
Oh, and there was Jessa. Her sister was that auror chick, right? Hadley frowned at the thought of Alexa, but still, kid sis could be handy. "Hey, Jessa. Might have something you can help me with. Your sister is an Auror, right? Know anything about inventing new hexes?"
And speaking of Resident Roosters...just going to ignore that he even...Something caught Hadley's eye and she stopped dead. Then she backed up a few steps to be sure she saw correctly. "You!? They made you Head Boy!? I mean I knew Hogwarts was mental, but this?" Oh, joy. This was a great start to a superb year.
With her mood sufficiently soured, Hads trudged on and plopped down next to Teddy. She didn't know him all that well, but he seemed like a cool guy from what she knew. "Can you believe that?" She thumbed a hand in Rooney's direction, then shook her head. "Nevermind, don't want to think about it. Did you have a good summer?" Rooney expected the hostility from Hadley Denaker and was in no mind to care what she thought. She had a problem with everything that happened in the castle purely because she was full of the green monster: jealousy. Hadley Denaker wanted to be Prefect more than she wanted to breathe on a daily basis and she couldn't handle the fact that Rooney had dreamed every day for it and got it, and was now being rewarded for his service and dedication to the castle with another position. A more important position - that of Head Boy.
He rolled his eyes, pocketing his hands in his robes. "They continue to let you be educated in the castle, Hadley. I think we all knew how mental they were at that very decision." Perhaps she was just looking for a retaliation, but she wasn't going to get one today. Not sorry.
