Slytherin House Table
 

This table seats the cunning students of Slytherin house.

Evan ;)
 

Marie was glad to finally be off the train and back at school. So much had happened on the train ride that she wasn't really sure who her friends were any more.
Walking into the Great Hall she instantly walks over to the empty Slytherin table. Looking over at the Hufflepuff table she doesn't see Avery or Kay yet. Then glancing at the Gryffindor table she notices that Rex is not there yet either. "Good, maybe he won't come.' Sitting down somewhere in the middle of the table but where she can face the other house tables she thinks, 'Yes, now I can watch everyone as they come in, no one is going to sneak up on me.'
Turning back to the entrance she eagerly watches for the students to start coming in, hoping that the first student she sees is Evan. She wanted someone to sit with her who was not involved in all the chaos on the train. Then again Destiny and Evelyn would okay to sit with. Even though they were part of the chaos at least they didn't start it this time.

Severia walked into the Great Hall. It was amazing. She had never seen anything like it. She went straight to the Slytherin table and sat towards the end of the table. She was more excited than she had ever been in her life.

Severia saw a girl that had been in the midst of the chaos on the train. She didn't want any of that to affect her first term at Hogwarts, so she decided to introduce herself and maybe the girl wouldn't think she was crazy. She walked up to her and extended her hand. "Hello, my name is Severia Gaunt."

Avada walked into the room.
"At last...everything is going according to plan...Soon...Yes...very soon..",The dark boy mumbled to himself.Avada then made his way to the Slytherin table and sat near Severia.

Avada looked over and saw that a girl was talking to him.
"Hello....I'm Avada.......Avada......Lurin.",Avada said as he turned back around.
"Your last name is Black....Are you from the noble pureblood line?",Avada said darkly.

For Riley, Anna, or Ian.
 

Thalia couldn't believe she had just made Slytherin. She was in absolute shocked. It all went like a blur to her. Getting off the train, sailing to the school in boats, getting sorted after hearing the hat talk about her being cunning. She saw her cousin Anna get sorted into Slytherin and she saw Parker Yorke get sorted into Slytherin. Of course he was a Slytherin. Her life was going to be hell for the next 6 years at Hogwarts.

She stared blankly at her plate, not wanting anyone to talk to her. This couldn't be happening. Why did this have to happen?! Was fate trying to torture her this much? It just wasn't fair. Thalia barely noticed her surroundings. She had been excited and full of energy when she had first entered, now she just wanted to go home. For real. This was terrible and awful. Around her she noticed familiar faces. Evan, Aaron, and Art. This just felt so wrong and she felt like crying. Not that she would. No. That would make her look bad.

Looking around Marie sees some of her housemates starting to come in. She recognized a couple of them from the train but didn't know thier names yet. Just as she was about to look for Evan someone came up to her and introduced theirself. "Oh hi, I'm Marie Salazar, nice to meet you." Looking closely at the girl Marie thinks she is one of the students that was sitting with Destiny and Evelyn on the train, the one whose snake was in her compartment. "I think I seen you on the train. Were you the one with the huge snake that was on the loose?"

Avada walked up to a girl he didn't know. She looked miserable and for some reason, he was attracted to misery.
"Hello. I'm Avada Lurin. You don't look too happy. What's wrong?" He asked her.

Yeeees. Finally. They made it to the castle and to the Great Hall, which was far away from the train and her parents as possible at the moment. Smiling in relief, Evelyn walked down the hall, passing a few Slytherins on the way and slid smoothly down at the table. Tapping her fingers on the wood, she glanced at the Gryffindor table, seeing if she could spot Rex and give him a death glare, but could not see the Gryffindork anywhere. Shrugging her shoulders, she looked for Josh instead but...no. No Josh either.

She did see Marie though when she turned her head, and gave the Slytherin a little wave, surprisingly, but went back to Gryffindor scouting. Maybe Destiny scouting as well...she lost her friend in the crowd while getting off the train.

Elisabeta walked into the great hall and gulped it was amazing but she still hardly knew any of her fellow house mates she would get to know them over time

Avada sat between Sapphyre and Thalia. "Well, Sapphyre," he said quietly, "My family is not one many people would talk about. They aren't the best people around."

"I am. Sorry about that. But Marv is harmless, really. Well, it was nice meeting you" Severia said as she turned to find a seat close to her brother.

"I'd like to die right now," she told the stranger plainly as he asked her. She looked at him and sighed. "I'm Thalia Munroe." He was a new fellow house mate. Someone she was now going to share classes with. Yay. She went back to looking at her enemy and best friend. Would either of them say something? Avada? Strange name. She looked over to see Emily chatting with those at the Hufflepuff table and Ryan sat over there too. She felt miserable.

Jess, or anyone, I suppose. :)
 

"I haven't seen my parents in a long time either. My father is in Azkaban and my mother, well she's dead." Avada answered. "I was adopted by Severia's mother. She should be over here soon. She insists on meeting everyone in the entire castle." His sister annoyed him sometimes. She was such a bubbly brat.

Vicks walked towards the slytherin table and spotted Marie inmediately sitting next to a girl she didn´t know, she called her "hey Marie! where were you?when i woke up you were no longer in our compartment so i looked for you in the entire train" she said a bit concerned, the truth was she was afraid that Marie didn´t think of her as a friend anymore

Vick saw Elisabeta sitting a couple of sits away. Vicky waved at her "Hey Liz how´s everything going?" she asked smiling

Severia walked back down the table and sat across from her brother and two girls. "Hey Avie!" She said to him, even though she knew he hated when she called him that. "I see you've made some new friends!" She had walked up just in time to hear one girl say she wanted to die. "I love the gloominess, Thalia! You and my brother should be best mates! I'm Severia Gaunt. It's a pleasure to meet you both!" Severia brushed her long brown hair out of her face and flashed one of her signature winning smiles.

Still looking around, yet trying not to ignore the girl standing next to her, Marie notices Evelyn sitting a little ways down from her, and she waved at her. Not wanting to seem rude, Marie gave a quick wave back then turned her attention back to Severia.
"Don't worry about it, he didn't bother me. You might want to keep a closer eye on him though, others may not like seeing a snake that big just wandering around." The girl did not seem interested in sitting next to Marie as she was already turning to leave. This did not bother Marie though, she was still waiting for Evan to come sit with her.
"Nice meeting you too, I'm sure we will see each other around the school. Enjoy the feast."

Thalia did her best to create a smile of some sort at the girl. This wasn't normal for her. She was usually her excited and bubbly self. She didn't even feel like she could argue with Parker. Oh no! Something was definitely wrong.

Raiden had resigned himself. He would let Neptune clutch at him all the way up to the Great Hall, because... after that, she would go to the Ravenclaw Table, right?

Wrong, apparently.

As he went toward the Slytherin Table, he was very aware that her hand still had its grip on his robes. She was following him to his table. Instead of going to the Ravenclaw one.

...

"Neptune, aren't you gonna go to the Ravenclaw Table first?" he asked, pausing and looking back at her. "To meet your housemates and stuff?"

Why did he even ask. Because... surely the answer would either be a pout, because she'd think he didn't want her there, or it would be a huge grin and she's say something about meeting all his housemates first.

"Hey Vick, I got in an argument with Rex so I went and sat with Avery for awhile. You were sleeping so I just left you there to rest." Looking around she still didn't see Evan yet so she invited Vicky to sit with her. "You want to sit here with me? The table will be filling up soon so you better grab a seat now."

"I told you already. I hate this house," Thalia stated plainly, looking at her plate with a sober expression. She was just so irritated and so angry right now. "I didn't want this house." She eyed Parker and Anna. Why did they look pleased with themselves while she sat here moping in her misery?

"Avada's dad was an unregistered animagus. Nothing major, but still illegal."

"No one asked you Severia. Shut it" Avada said through clenched teeth.

"Well, they say the sorting hat never makes mistakes. Maybe you're more cunning than you know, Thalia." Severia said with a wink. "By the way, thats a very pretty name."

Vicks put her worries aside and genuinely smiled to Marie, she sat in the free seet near her "really? what was the argument about? he seemed such a nice guy" it seemed it kinda affected her so she quickly added "it´s ok you don´t need to talk about it if you don´t want to". "i´m starving, hope the feat starts soon" she added when her stomach did a funny noise

"Thanks for trying but I really don't want to be here," she said with a miserable expression. She glanced over at Ryan and Emily again. "Thanks for that too. I believe it's Greek or something. Your name is really pretty too."

Nicoletta looked at a few girls talking near her. "Oh hey congrats! I'm Nicoletta. Second year, you'll like it in Slytherin." she said. hmmm, I wonder if they know where the common room is? she thought

"Thank you. I was named after my mother. She was named after one of the old headmasters Severus Snape. I don't think I'm really Slytherin material either."
Severia looked at her brother who had been quiet for some time. "Hey Avie, don't you think I would have made a better Ravenclaw"

"It's not that I don't have friends. My cousin and best friend are in this house. I'm in this house with my worst enemy. I know loads of people in this house," she told her. Thalia wanted to bang her head against the table. She was still unconvinced.

"Hi Nicoletta! I'm Severia. This is my brother Avada, and hopefully our two new friends, Thalia and Sapphyre." She said with a smile. She just loved meeting new people.

"Well to make a long story short, Rex was talkng bad about Slytherins and it made me mad. We had a arguement, he made enemies with Evelyn and Destiny and now Kay is mad at me because I yelled at her boyfriend." Looking over at the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tables Marie still did not see Kay or Rex.
Marie giggled a little when she heard Vicks stomach make a funny noise. "Oh the feast will be starting soon, then you will have more food than you could ever want." Now that Marie thought about it, she was pretty hungry too.

"I love you're name! Beautiful really." she paused "Do you guys know where the common room is? If not, I can show you."

"That would be great!" Yay! a new friend!

"Phyre!!" Rosalie said running to greet her.
She looked up and smiled. "This is crazy!!" She murmured to herself.

She was so glad to be in Slytherin. Although the rest of her family was either in Hufflepuff or Gryffindor. Ahh! Who cares?

"Am I glad to see you!" Rosalie said unaware she was talking with someone already.
"Ohh.. Sorry," Rosalie replied. She sat across from her friend she met on the train.

Raven walked into the Great Hall with a smirk etched upon her face, it was good to be back at Hogwarts definitely and this term was going to be a Slytherin sweep for sure; it had been a disgraceful past few terms for the house and this one one change everything. She headed over to the Slytherin table and sat down, looking down the table to see if she could see any of her friends.

"alright then!" she smiled and twisted the bright green ends of her hair around her finger. "Oh yeah! Whatddaya think?" she asked "I did it on the train."

"Nice to meet you Phyre. And you too Rosalie. I'm not usually like this. My spirits are just completely dampened," she said to the girl. When would she stop feeling like this?

"so till the feast begins tell me about yourself" "i only know this is your second year at hogwarts and i think Kay did mention Avery being yor cousin?" she asked. To Vicky who had been raised differently was very interesting learning how was the lifestyle of london people

Reese Upstead had taken her precious time getting off the train, so she wouldn't be too surprised if she was one of the last people walking into the Great Hall. Once she entered the place, though, she realized that there wasn't too many people in here. So, she wasn't one of the last people off the train. She wasn't too sure at the moment if that was a good thing or bad thing.

As the 18 year old started towards her house table, the thoughts about this being her LAST start of the term feast popped into her head. She stopped walking and looked around the place, taking in all the surroundings: the little first years that were getting sorted and people chatting away about how the train ride was. Her brown eyes looked right at the sorting hat and she sighed. This would be the last time she saw the firsties get sorted. It was sooo sad.

Right, she had to pull herself together before she started to cry or anything. It would be bad for her housemates to see their Prefect cry.

She shook the thoughts out of her head before she got upset, then she continued walking towards the Slytherin table. Once there, she sat down near some group of people and looked up at the staff table to see if there were anymore new Professors this term. She already knew one and that was Healer Ashford.

"I'm SUUuuUUuUuUuuure that I want to stay with yoOOoOoou, Raiden." Neptune hit with a little spell of eyelash batting accompanied by more of her sing-songing. She slid down the bench and attached her side to his. Neptune Bott was Raiden's own personal barnacle.

"I touched that boy right there. He's cuuuuuuuuute." Did Raiden notice things like this? Neptune wasn't totally sure yet how perceptive he was to such important details. Her big blues turned towards the BIG table at the front. She half wondered if that's where SHE was supposed to sit, her and Xelly. Would there be a little name card there for her like there were at most big dinners? Reserved for Botts?? All she noted was one particularly handsome MAN looking particularly relaxed. Neptune WAVED at him.

"Honey, if anyone should feel crushed it would be me. My parents think I'm sort of a disgrace for the Wayland family. Made up of mostly Hufflepuffs. Just have to stick your head up high and smell the fresh air," Rosalie said trying to be comforting. She sounded a little like Dr. Phil from that muggle tv show.
"Yeah same.. Hopefully we can see Ken and Sherri around.." Rosalie said. Her blonde hair swept across her face.

Just to try to forget her miserableness she replied, "DADA. I inherited traits of defense from my dad. He's an auror," she explained but didn't add the fact he was a famous one. "Charms will be fun too." Yeah, anything that made her liable to hurt Parker more was her favorite classes.

"That's awesome I love it! Did you do it with magic? I wish I knew how to do stuff like that."

"Hi Rosalie. I'm Severia!" she smiled at the newcomer. This term was going to be great! There were so many people to meet and so many friends to make.

"yeah I did! My dad taught me, it's not that hard really." Nicoletta felt a bit awkward, she was never really good in school. "So what do you think so far? Of the castle I mean."

"What a coincidence considering my family comes from a line of Ravenclaws. They'll be disgraced with me when they hear the news," she said to Rosalie. Especially grandfather. His hopes were for his favorite granddaughter.

...was she going to stay this close to him for the whole night? It would... make eating oh-so-difficult. Raiden just kinda gave her a tight little smile and... patted her hand.

"I noticed. You like to touch people," he replied, a little chuckle following. Understatement. Of. The. Year. She liked to cuddle up on and bond with people. At least, with him. And he was a person, so... yes. Her waving distracted him, and he looked to see who she was waving at. Who... was that? "Do you know him?"

The sudden realisation struck. That was... probably Professor Truebridge's replacement.

Oh yeah. He'd also forgotten that... he was probably going to have a term from hell with or without the auditions thing, and Neptune attaching to him. Because... he'd... aaaah. Yeah. Cue facepalm.

"It's so big! I'll never learn my way around!" Severia was horrible with directions anyway. But this castle was ridiculous! It seemed like every corner you turned the hallway behind you disappeared!

"It's terrifying at first, but you learn you're way around. Are you looking foreward to any classes?" she asked

"Potions will probably be my favorite! Or transfigurations. But I'm not saying I'd be good at either. I have a lot to learn."

Avada was getting bored with listening to all of the girls talking around him. He closed his eyes and waited for the feast to start.

"I absolutely love potions! Transfiguration I'm alright at... Okay, no I'm not." she laughed.

OOC: I might have to go soon, not for too long though

"We have more in common than I thought.." Rosalie said. It was a difficult subject for both of them as far as she could tell. But Rosalie didn't want it to sound like a good thing..
"Oh yeah, he's a fifth year. Almost forgot.. Lot of tattoos that boy had.." Rosalie said laughing. She remembered on the train when she stared at him for an amount of lengthy time. "So Phyre anything interesting happen yet or are you waiting for the craziness to go down and start doing more independent things?" Rosalie asked curiously.
"Hello Severia! It's nice to meet you," Rosalie said smiling.
My parents might mind if I tell them Slytherin was cool.. Rosalie thought.
"What part of the train were you on? I don't remember seeing you in the front.." Rosalie looked at her curiously. She looked very happy, to this Rosalie smiled.

Severia noticed that her brother had closed his eyes. "Avada, am I ignoring you? I hate that you're the only boy down here. Why are there so many girls in Slytherin?" She asked to no one in particular.

"Well, I live with my parents in London. I don't have any siblings so my parents pretty much do everything for me. I guess you could say I am sort of spoiled. Oh yes, Avery and I just found out recently that we are distant cousins. I don't really know much about her yet. I was hoping that she would be in SLytherin so we could spend more time together but she's in Hufflepuff. I'm sure I will have plenty of time to get to know her this term though." Marie looked up just as Rex walked in. Watching him closely she sees that he sits down and starts talking to Alexandra. 'What, he's talking to the devil child herself. The one Gryffindor that is after me and Kay and he sits with her. Well Kay is just gonna love this one.' Marie thought as she looked over and seen Kay sitting with Kita at her table.
"Um will you please excuse me for a minute? I need to go talk to Kay real quick before the feast starts. I will be right back." Marie got up and went over to talk to Kay, that is if Kay will talk to her.

"Just...when my brother landed himself in Slytherin no one really talked to him. For like a month my parents kept distance. So I'm scared they're going to do the same thing. Especially my grandfather," she added shaking her head and looking down at her hands. "He was hoping I'd be a Ravenclaw. I just feel so bad. Like I let him down." It didn't help that her gran had passed away only weeks ago.

"oh I'm sorry! I'm Nicoletta." she had a feeling this wasn't going anywhere. "you're Avada." she giggled "cute name."

"I was in the back of the train" Severia said. Yep, with all the trouble and chaos! That was the perfect place for me...NOT!

Severia laughed. The thought of someone being as bad as she was with anything magic related couldn't be funnier. "I'm a total clutz!" She admitted. "My parents thought I was going to be a squib until I was 8 and accidently set the house on fire. That was the day they were most proud of me."

"ermm ok don´t take too long"she said without looking away from the plates she had been looking at them for so long the could be broken by now

Vick turned her haid to the other sit next to her and saw a boy she didn´t know who looked like her age so she introduce herself "Hi, I´m Vicky fourth year" she said smiling

"Nice to meet you." Avada said. It was the first day and his sister was already trying to make him as popular as she wanted to be. He hated that. He liked to be alone.

"At least," she murmured. She looked up and saw some older boy doing like a victory dance. It was slightly funny even in her depressed mood. She smiled. "I still was dreading being placed in this house."

Sry for late reply. :(
 

Benjamin, who was still happily examining the expensive looking plate, paused for a moment. Hm, it felt like someone had...touched him. On the shoulder. But, no, it was so faint, it might've been all in his head. He wasn't exactly paying much attention to the outer world at the moment. He was submerged in his own thoughts, but it never hurt to make sure...
Turning around, much too late it seemed. He managed to catch a bit of the conversation the boy and girl beside him were having.

.............CUTE?
Benjamin.
Cute.
Him.
Cute.
Huh...
Interesting thought. Benjamin had never gotten that from a girl before. Back at home, whenever a girl liked a guy, it's be a huge secret. If any girl had ever seen him as CUTE, he wouldn't have known.
But she had touched him. She had admitted it to the boy she was speaking to. How odd. This girl was much more different than the girls he was used to.

Wait. Was he, Benjamin....blushing? No. He couldn't be. But, oh yes, his face felt hot. But, maybe he just had a fever. Yeah, a fever that had to be it. Not blushing. Please. Benjamin Farley does NOT blush.

Slowly turning away and tuning out of thier conversation, Benjamin decided to pretend as if she hadn't done anything.
Unfortunatly, if she was looking - which he wasn't sure he was as he was paying too much attention to the fact that he had a *ahem* FEVER - then she would have definately noticed that he noticed that she touched him.

She would have also noticed that he was majorly blushing.

Or, er, feverish.

"haha! You know how I got this?" She pulled her sleeve up to reveal a white cast on her lft hand and wrist.

"No I don't!" Neptune was SCANDALIZED at such a comment. She didn't like to touch PEOPLE. What a riidiculous thing to think of her! Neptune Bott did not give her attentions, much less her touches, to the unworthy. "You shouldn't say such things. It could put a mar on my reputation." Not REALLY. She was Neptune June Bott. "And you wouldn't want to DO that, would you, Raaaaaaaaaaaaaiden?" She punctuated her question with a little air!kissy. AND a GIGGLE.

"I was in the back of the train then I moved to the front.. I got pelted with little candies from Gryffindors," Rosalie chuckled.

"I put up a good fight though, considering he was a second year and I am a first.." Rosalie stared at the boy that was dancing..

Must really love Slytherin.. she thought. It was horrible Rosalie was a facial-expressionist. Everyone could tell what was going through her head..

"Lighten up, Avada! It wouldn't kill you to make friends. Think how boring this place would be if you were alone all the time?"
Severia turned back to Nicoletta, "Ever since he's been living with us he's been so quiet. He wasn't always like this. He used to be fun. I've been trying to get him to be fun again, but it's not working so well."

Avada seemed shy. "So do you like it here, I mean, so far and all." she was struggling to come up with something to say. She groaned, why is it that I stink at talking to guys? she thought

Hmmm? Someone was talking to him. Of course! Cos that's what you were supposed to do at this shindig! Get to know your fellow housemates!

He turned his head and looked at the girl. “Hi Vicky Fourth Year. I'm Oliver Fifth Year.” heh. He was so funny. He turned his head and eyed the staff table. “You got any idea how long this thing drags on for, Vicky Fourth Year?” Cos it was getting tedious – already.

As he was turning back to look at her, he caught a look, (glare!?) from some girl. What was her problem? He grinned and winked at her in response.

"That looks like it hurt. What happened?"

"Yea, I ran into a few Gryffindors too. The first one was okay. I kinda liked him. But the rest were awful. One called me wierd for having a pet snake and another ran into the compartment screaming about Slytherins being dumb or something. There was way too much drama back there!"

Wait?! Was that older kid winking at her or someone else? Well what was she suppose to do? Smile back maybe? Or...urgh! Everything seemed so confusing right now. So she just gave the kid a smile and went back to her bad mood.

"my brother knocked me off my broom. Luckily, my dad caught me with a hovering charm. Well, only after half my arm got smashed." she shuddered at the thought. " very painful."

Avada paused for a moment.Why would anyone be talking to him,of all people?!?He decided that it would be best to just play along with it.Severia seemed to have no problem with it,as she had been keeping up that "innocent" act all day.
"It's...interesting. A lot different than I expected. But I don't really know what I expected."

Chaucer sat silently and solemnly at the table. It reminded him of an old painting he had once seen, where all the lower classes got together during winter and had big feasts. He supposed he should at least make a weak attempt to put aside his social differences - he would need to find a replacement for his cousin, that was a fact.

Although there was something romantically tragic about a solitary poet, wandering through the stone walls of a castle.... melancholy in his isolation...

Eyes glazed over in fantasy, he appeared to be intently staring at a gold fork to his left. With a sudden break in concentration, he looked about with a slightly alarmed expression before setting his eyes to his uniform. This tie... it's just like everyone's tie! How are people supposed to know I have a marvellous wit and flair for dialogue when I AM WEARING THE SAME TIE!? Flustered, Chaucer made a complicated fold and secured it with a dress pin (he always carried on in his pocket) and decided to procure a brooch later on. It wasn't any thing he would normally have consented to, but desperate times...

Rosalie double taked. Did he just wink at her? She approached him.
"Uh hi?" Rosalie said in more of a question.
"Oh definitely! The Gryffindors think we're the bad ones. Ha! They make me laugh," Rosalie said glaring at the Gryffindors.

"Better watch out! They're gonna hit us with trolley candy!" Rosalie said kind of loudly.

she smirked "well i´m not sure really when it ends but i can´t wait for it to start i´m starving" she answered looking at the staff table with hoping eyes

"I can't wait to get back on a broom! I haven't had the chance in a while. I would love to play Quidditch, it seems like so much fun."

"That guy sure knows how to have fun." Severia said. "This year won't be dull at all will it?" She added with a chuckle.

"That's how I felt last year. Both of my parents went to Beauxbatons. Were you hoping for something besides Slytherin?" she could tell Avada was starting to feel uncomfortable. Then she said tho Severia. "Haha! Not at all. For me, last year was kind of slow."

I need to talk to you Marie" Rex told her. I am sorry about eveything I dud to you or said about you" Rex whispered in her ear. " Take it or leave it but I like you as a good friend and I love you and Kay being good friends" Rex explained to Marie. " I will not come in between best friends" Rex said to Marie.

Sighing, Evelyn placed her hands in her lap, and stared at her plate. The opening feast. But there was just one problem. There was no feast as of yet. When was it going to start again? She hadn't eaten at all on the train ride, being too busy with...other...things, and now she was starving. Taking a deep breathe, she looked back up and scanned the Slytherin table, noticing some more people sitting down before looking over to- OMG JOSH! And the Gryffindork...but mostly Josh!

Smiling happily, debating whether or not to go over there since pretty much everyone she knew was busy and who knows where Destiny was, Evelyn just sat, and stared. 'Stop staring. Going to make yourself look like a creep.' Aw well, staring for a few more seconds, she finally shook out of it and looked up to the staff table. Quite a few new staff members it looked like, and that was definitely not Professor Kazi or the other werewolf headmaster that she saw last year sitting in the middle seat.

Severia noticed an older boy sitting alone. She hated to see people alone. The feast was her chance to meet everyone and make lots of friends. And the dress pin he hooked on his tie was so cool. He was very unique. She loved that! She waved at him, hoping he would notice her and join the rest of the group.

"Well I guess that just means we should use are cunning and wits to get them since they are brave enough to throw sweets!" Severia laughed as she looked over at the Gryffindor table, looking for the Quidditch captain. She really wished she had stayed with them on the train. He was so nice.

"Hello Chaucer!" Kate dropped down on the bench beside the lonely looking guy. "Pretty cool that we got sorted into the same house eh? Now we both know at least one person!" Kate glanced up at Chaucer's face and noticed a look of alarm etched on his face. "What's wrong?"
