 Hi, hi! That's Rough Buddy | Be the Flower | Moon & Stars
Her mind was still reeling from just now. She…Xelene Paloma Baltazar-Dos Santos, originating from a long, long, pure line of Slytherins a…a…Gryffindor? She was going to throw up. Or cry. Or both.
She forced herself to smile at a few of her new housemates as she made her way down the table. Xelene could typically be lured in by colors and paints, but she didn’t have the mood for it at the moment, so she bypassed that spot at the table. She also didn’t want to sit alone. Maybe Angel would be sorted into Gryffindor and they could sit together. He seemed Gryffindor material.
Not wanting to simply stand around and look lame, she chose the spot beside a quiet older boy (Lando). She had assumed he was either 1) checking out his nails or 2) sleeping sitting up, but on closer inspection she noticed the book.
“What are you reading?” she whispered, not wanting to attract attention.
