Before heading over to the Ravenclaw table, she glanced at the staff table. It appeared some of the new professors were already there, and one of them caught her eye as looking familiar for some reason. Shaking the feeling off for now, pushing figuring it out until later, she turned to her house table as her name was mentioned. By a familiar voice.

"Hey Mari," she said, walking over. Then she saw who Mari had been talking to, and smiled. "Hey Ludo. Don't even think of eating the plate," she teased the tall boy sitting there. "Food'll come soon enough." She started to head toward them, and then was distracted by another familiar voice, which sounded dangerously controlled. Robert. Good to know he's at least trying, she thought, before turning her head to look over at the exact time the girl from the Quidditch store knocked his chair legs out from under him.

Her green eyes widened as she changed direction slightly to go over to them. "What's going on here?," she asked the tiny girl, who now that she was closer she could see was a Slytherin. Then she reached a hand down to Robert, helping him up before picking the chair back up, then looking at the Slytherin again. "I don't know what the problem is between you guys," she said quietly, "but I didn't hear anything that should have resulted in people being knocked to the floor." She made sure her face stayed in a neutral expression, especially since she didn't know this girl.
Mariska smiled as Elizabeth finally showed up, and she laughed softly when the other girl noted Ludo's apparent hunger. " I have to say though, I'm fairly hungry myself. Pumpkin pasties and licorice wands don't really do much for the appetite," she said with an amusing sympathetic look for Ludo.

She then heard the same voice that Elizabeth apparently did, and she looked over to see Robert dealing with another girl, another Slytherin. " I swear, they bode nothing but trouble for us Ravenclaws," She said with a slight sigh as she watched Robert and the girl. However she arched a brow in confusion as Robert fell to the floor, but before she could go to do anything, she saw that Elizabeth was already there. Since when had she begun to feel that comfortable around Robert? From what Mari knew, the two hardly knew one another...right?

Ludo broke from his sentence and grinned as Liz walked towards them. "Well here she is..." he said a little obviously. He laughed as she called out a comment about his glance at the plate as well. "Everyone gets their hunger pangs!" He said, comically. Ludo motioned for Liz to join them on the bench when he noticed her attention was elsewhere.

He followed her gaze to a boy, the same boy he'd noticed Mari glance at. It was the same boy that had been in the compartment with the two that also recognized as a Ravenclaw in his own year. He seemed to be having a bad time with a Slytherin girl and Liz seemed to have noticed.
Mari saw that Ludo had noticed Liz...well, noticing Robert and she looked confused again for a moment. " I guess he's got the help he needs. Good thing Elizabeth saw; I suppose her Prefect instincts are still strong even though she's not one anymore." She said nonchalantly, making light of the situation. Of course, it was still weird that Elizabeth seemed so much more concerned for Robert now.
