Daisy giggled at Emmalyn's joke. "Well, the Headmistress will say her speech and then usually with a wave of her hand, food appears. Patience is key but it is worth it."

"Em is fine. I know Emmalyn can be quite a mouth full." She smiled and thought of all the times her mother had hollered Emmalyn out the window at home, turning her name into some strange three word song. 'Emmmm Aaaaaa Lynnnn'. Yes, Em would suit her just fine here. Plus, it sounded much more grown up.

"Oh, wow, a third year. Do you have any words of wisdom for me?" She hoped that Daisy would tell her a little about what else was going to happen that night. The sorting was a surprise and she hadn't even see her dorm room.

Her stomach let out another giant growl and she blushed. "I can be patient, but I'm not sure I can keep my stomach from protesting during the speech."

She knew Hufflepuff wasn't supposed to be the "boring" house, but at the moment she couldn't remember the qualities of her new house, except for "Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders."

She sat down and studied her House flag above her. She didn't really feel like a badger, but then again, she didn't really feel like a snake or a lion or an eagle either. And, she was a little confused about the symbols for Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. What exactly did an eagle and a badger mean? A lion for Gryffindor, she understood, because lions were brave, and snakes were sneaky. But for the houses she had heard were lesser appreciated, she just didn't get their animals.

Looking around at the table, she realized everyone was older than her. She wished someone would talk to her, because she wasn't good about making the first move.

As Emmalyn waited for the speech, she overheard Daisy talking to another girl. Another first year girl. She couldn't help herself, she had to butt into their conversation and meet the the Hufflepuff. "Excuse me, are you a first year too?" She waved her hand a bit to get their attention. "I'm Emmalyn, first year Hufflepuff." Her face was bright with hope and excitement.
