Eyeing the basket, willing the snake to not peek it's grey slimy head out from under the blanket at her Maria turned her black curly haired head to Jasper when he put a warm hand on her shoulder, and mumured in reponse to him eyes still scared. "No, I'm not all right. Jasper, the snake," trying to calm herself she added between breaths. "Who'd leave a snake for me on the train? Is it a prank?" And who'd know which compartment she was going to sit in? She wished her daddy was here.

SPOILER!!: Keighley & Jude

Hoping Jasper didn't remove his comforting hand Maria looked from Keighley to Jude and asked "Jude or Keighley can you fetch Professor Paton? I don't know who she is? Is she the new CoMC professor? Or Professor Holden..." Why couldn't an anonyumus gifter had gotten her a pygmy puff or something else harmless instead of a snake that potentially was poisonous? Maria didn't need this on top of everything else.

They’d tell a professor, like everybody else was saying, and get to the bottom of this. “Chocolate frog?” she offered, reaching into her bag. If there was one thing she’d learned from her dad, it was that sweets made everything better!

Taking slow breaths and looking everywhere, but not at the beast in the basket Maria eyes darted over to Desiree. The older girl had questions and concerns, but thankfully she didn't bombard her with them, at least not yet. Instead she got an encouraging smile and a chocolate frog offer. Nodding she murmured "Thanks, I hope so too. Desiree, it's scary.`` While waiting for the frog Maria at least attempted to follow the sorting when of course they got an unwanted visitor.

Preceded by his personal war cry and cackling uproariously, Peeves zoOOOOMed into the Great Hall, juggling several huge, filled-to-bursting maybe-water-balloons. His bow tie span and his eyes glittered with innocent menace as he drifted leaisurely over the Hufflepuff table.

"Ickle wee badgers, who wants to play a game with old Peevesie?"

Maria looked on as Peeves the Poltergiest leisurely drifted over to her table. Why couldn’t he have chosen one of the other tables to bother on this opening night? The ballons peeves was juggling looked ominous, but for some reason Maria got up the nerve/courage to say to the old spirit. "We’d like to play a game with you Peeves, but another time. We’ve got a snake problem to deal with." Her eyes darted to the basket then where a red tongue now stuck out as if it sniffed the air. Please don’t let Peeves see it. Pleasee?

Was that- Erm.. why was it at their table? It was kinda cute! From the look on Maria's face however she wasn't at all happy and it seemed that this snake wasn't hers? "Should we get Ha- Professor Paton? Maybe she could help?" That was going to take some getting used to.

He actually thought it was a puppy - or better yet, a cat. But no… a SNAKE of all things. Someone… just sent it to her anonymously? The sixth year doubted a secret admirer would do that, unless they thought that Maria liked snakes with red eyes. “I agree with the others. Professor Paton is more than capable of handling snakes.” She OWNED one for years now.
