Bel had sat down ready to watch the sorting, full of a relaxed sort of enthusiasm. This year would be a lot less stressful than the previous year, she was certain of it. Even if she had to start NEWT prep, at least it wasn't big exams like OWLs had been, and the strict regime was over, there was no pressure about Quidditch since they had been dead last the previous term and there was nowhere to go but up (as opposed to the term before that when they had been champions and gone from the top to dead last) and there were no inferi either. All positive things.

And there were quite a few new faces up at the staff table, even Bel had noticed that, and spent several minutes wondering over each of them. She was hoping for new faces at Quidditch tryouts too though, so she was far more interested in watching the sorting when it began than spending too much time wondering about the new staff (or entertaining any lingering reservations about the old ones, but that was a whole 'nother kettle of fish).

She felt it was kind of mean, but she did NOT want him to be able to find her to help him with cracker.

She was, of course, excited to be a Hufflepuff. She had wanted Hufflepuff from the beginning. No one ever bragged or thought they were better than anyone else. It was, in short, amazing.

And here came one of the new sortees now! Bel clapped and cheered as she did for every newly sorted person and ignored the textbook thing, figuring it as a sort of prop for nerves like she had seen several of her more anxious friends use.

"G'day! Welcome to Hufflepuff!“ She said cheerfully, her (still heavy) Australian accent coming through loud and clear. Hopefully it wouldn't take long for the little first year to feel comfy enough to ditch the book!

He noticed her book and felt a pang of jealousy. Had he known it was acceptable to bring a book to the Feast he would have most certainly done so. Maybe not a textbook as this girl had chosen, but a book nonetheless. Matthew sighed and looked down the table at all the faces. The few people he did know weren't from Hufflepuff. Of course, I'm sorted into a house where I know no one. Matthew thought to himself.

Maybe the food would appear soon. This was a feast, wasn't it?

And the next one was properly grown. A transfer like she herself had been! Bel watched the hat sort him and when it was 'puff she applauded along with everyone else.

“G' day mate, where ya from? Welcome to Hufflepuff!“ Bel said, leaning across the table a bit and grinning happily. People usually could guess with her, given she still had her accent which very clearly painted her as an Aussie expat, but it was always interesting to find out about other tranfers, even if they just came from homeschooling and all that stuff, new blood was exciting!
