Skye looked around. It was obvious that Carin wasn't speaking with her, and despite her shyness and her dislike of the school so far (nothing had happened in the last month and a half to make her like Hogwarts any better), she now felt somewhat lonely. She looked away from the fire and around the room, hoping to see someone she could strike up a conversation with, but everyone looked busy. Her shoulders slumped a little. Too shy to actually go up and talk to someone, she returned her gaze to the fire.
