Wow. That was an interesting way of putting it but she couldn't say it wasn't true. He was fasinating to her and she couldn't explain why. The entire ride to Hogwart's she had been around him and loved every minute of it. But, why did she feel the way she did? They had only known each other for a day. Shaking her head, she smiled at her sillyness and pushed it from her mind for the time being.
"Don't worry about it. I'm not sure what's going on with me tonight." The young and confused Ravenclaw gave her best friend a reassuring smile. Her stomach rumbled ominously making her giggle. "Goodness, I'm hungry aren't you?"
Still staring, Mariel raised an eyebrow at Lasca's laughter. Not only did she not understand what Lasca had been talking about, but she also did not understand why she was laughing at her. But it appeared that she was about to explain so maybe Mariel would get some answers.
Nate? Who was... Oh right.
"Oh, that boy we met on the train?" she asked. He seemed cool enough, but... what? She was
craving his presence? That was... unusual, especially seeing as they had just met him today. Or did something else happen between the two of them before Mariel caught up to Lasca on the train? She didn't know Lasca to be so... irrational? That probably wasn't the best word, but it was the first word that came to the young girl's mind. So did this mean Lasca had like a crush or something on the boy? Mariel watched her friend suspiciously as she chewed over this thought. She wasn't all that experienced in those kinds of feelings for boys, but it sure seemed like Lasca fancied this boy. Was that possible? Shrugging to herself as she thought the whole concept to be weird, Mariel scooped some potatoes onto her plate.
"Sure, I'm starving," she answered, giving her an awkward smile. She wasn't sure what to think about this whole boy-liking business.
"I'm sure it's okay to help yourself," she said gesturing to the food that had appeared on the table. As she looked up, Mariel's eyes landed on the Slytherin table.
"Um, isn't that him?" she asked, glancing back to Lasca. Mariel didn't remember Nate telling her what House he was in during their brief conversation, but apparently he was a Slytherin as he was seated at that table.

Looking down the table she saw the other Ravenclaws. Most of them looked a lot older than her. She wondered how many of them played Quidditch. Ravenclaw. It was still sinking in. She had finally realized that no matter what she would fit in, she was part of a group now and that couldn't be taken away. Her grin, if possible, grew at the thought.
As she watched Lasca, Mariel noticed a younger girl sit down at their table next to them.
"Dani!" she exclaimed, giving the girl a grin.
"Yay, you got Ravenclaw!" She was excited to see yet another Claw and one that she had already met and, daresay, liked.
Nodding her agreement, she said,
"Oh, I know you'll love it here." And another Quidditch lover too! Hopefully they would get to play together.
"So, help yourself to some food," Mariel added gesturing to the amazing spread in front of them. "
The House Elves here are the best."
