Lily was a bit shy showing off her drawings cause she always thought they weren't that good. "Oh so rude of me, I'm Lily I transferred from Ilvermorny."
Biting her lip she looked around. "I'm still getting lost in this huge castle, so I guess it's something we have in common." Sure she missed home, but she wasn't going to miss the chance of new adventures at a new place. She couldn't wait to explore more, she was sure there were many secrets awaiting to be found.

The other great thing was the beginning of the school year always seemed the perfect weather to explore the grounds. As he made his way across the pathway, breathing in the crisp Autumn air, he wondered if the garden had always been there? Or had he been holed up in books last year that he just completely forgot of this serene space?
That was when he saw a girl sketching and then another girl - one of the new first year Ravenclaws if he wasn't mistaken - approaching her. The older one who was drawing seemed mostly unbothered, even if startled at first. He chuckled though when she commented about being lost in a huge castle. "Here's a clue for explaining the castle, we're not actually in the castle for right now. Just in case you needed to know." He wasn't trying to be sarcastic either, but maybe a hint of humor was present in his tone.
Addyson hadn't expected to scare the older girl so when she squeaked and
jumped. So the younger girl furrowed her brow and parted her mouth slightly, trying to gauge why the older girl... Oh. And there was the possible answer to her query. "
You must have been deep into your sketch," she said before pausing and realising that perhaps it was socially appropriate to add a quiet, "
Sorry." She noticed the older girl's smile and nodded, before listening to her discuss her sketch. Flowers and stuff. She nodded again. "
It is pretty. I didn't even know something like this existed... You want to show me?" she asked before noticing that the other girl quickly added probably not good. She furrowed a brow again, contemplating what to say next. Something kind... but what came out next was her curiosity. "
What do you mean 'probably not good'? I'm sure it is a good interpretation of this.. It must be hard to just choose one subject to draw. There's SO many different things here...pretty flowers to nice smelling plants to the the waterlilies. I wouldn't know what to sketch first either. "
OH, yes. Introductions. She was grateful hat the other girl started them. So she was a transfer from Illvermorny. Addyson also took the opportunity to take a seat near the older girl. "
Lily... Nice to meet you." she offered a small smile. Once again, she was very grateful she hadn't called her Rose or Rosemary first- she hadn't remembered whether the older girl's name was a herb or flower. "
I'm Addyson Dane but my friends call me Addy," she nodded, lying about the nickname. Her siblings called her Addy- she hadn't made any friends yet but if she did... She'd want them to call her Addy.
She followed the older girl's gaze, listening and remaining silent for a moment. Was Addyson getting lost? Well not entirely - just the grounds. Addyson reached into her bag, opened up a notebook, and flipped through a couple pages for the other girl to see. She had started to make her own map of the castle page by page. But then someone else intruded so she closed her notebook and turned to the interloper. His comment earned a rare chuckle from her. "
Then where are we? Mars? .... I'm Addyson but - like i said- friends call me Addy." She turned back to Lily briefly. "
Once its done, I could lend you a copy? I'm making myself a map. I've mentally got the first floors and top floors in my head figured out." She paused. "
But I can relate... The middle floors are the most hazy and the grounds.. they keep growing and growing - it's like the castle is making something new each minute."
"
So...now like me, you are a Ravenclaw." That was another thing in common. "
You mentioned you were at Illvermorny before? Why transfer here?"
And then she turned to the older boy. "
So you're a Hogwarts expert, yeah?"
