It took him a moment to string together a short sentence of coherent words. What was it with him getting tongue-tied around people, these days? He needed to relax.
"You've read it before?" Theodore inquired, brushing a few curls from his blue eyes and glancing at the book, one hand quickly shutting the cover.
Cleaning her hands on her napkin, Mina nodded. "I read it a lot in the past few year," she replied. It was something else that managed to get her through her time away from Hogwarts. "I used to read it all the time in my first year, really fascinating stuff." It was all so magical to her and just from what she had read in the massive book, it only drove her to find out more.
He didn't look all that familiar, but Mina wasn't one to stray away from meeting new people. "I take it, you are new?" It was a valid question for the most part. She could have been wrong, but that was the risk she would take. "Welcome to Ravenclaw. I'm Mina, by the way."
Emerald noticed the girl sit down at the Ravenclaw table. Noticing that she wasn't speaking to anyone, Emmy decided to go talk to her. "Hi," she said, moving closer so that the girl could hear her, "I'm Emmy Fallows. Is this your first year?" It obviously was, since the girl had no one to talk to, but it was a good way to start a conversation none the less.
Olivia turned to Emmy and gave a soft smile. Here it is, she coached herself, your first conversation at Hogwarts. Don't look like an idiot. "Hi, I'm Olivia O'Hughes. Yeah... first year." She giggled a bit nervously. "Are you first year too?"

Olivia felt excited when yet another girl chose to sit next to her. Maybe making friends here wouldn't be so bad after all. "Hi, Luna. I'm Olivia, and this is Emmy. Yes, I'm a first year too. I'm so excited for classes, aren't you?" Olivia couldn't wait to be able to do all the magical things she'd seen happen around her since she was born.
Lexi nodded her head. She was SURE that was what it was... Rufus just wanted to be his friend. Mhm. "That's... terrible. |I am so sorry... Please... keep in touch and be safe and... oh this is terrible," she said with a little wibble at him. The thought of Lord Ivan in the military was a scary thing.
She was grateful that Ivan GOT it and intervened there... She was not sure when or where she would tell Jim... or if, but now was not that time. At all.
"Yeah... anyway. Epic party at my place over the holidays. Everyone is invited... well not EVERYONE, but you know." Not a certain Hufflepuff, or... a few others she could think of. No way.
Looking at the girl she was sure was named... a guy's name. Something like Kevin or something. "Thanks! He was a gift from the bestie guy here. His name is Rufus." She avoided saying her name since... she wasn't sure what it was. She was terrible with names.
OH it was DORIE!! Lexi smiled brightly as she could and looked over at the girl and asked, "What house did you get, Dorie?" HOPEFULLY it was Gryffindor!!! They could like... hang out in the common room and gossip and share clothes and all that stuff. Hehehe.
Kyle smiled over to Lexi, "Oh well Rufus looks sweet, I'm Kyle by the way - I don't think we've ever officially met" she explained with a smile. She smiled, biting the edge of her lip she looked up and down the table once more - spotting a near-by first year she smiled.
"Hello" she smiled waving slightly, "congratulations on getting into Ravenclaw" she smiled, not knowing the little girl's name.

"I think we will, too. " Emmy smiled back, glad to have friends at this school already. "I guess there are lots of people like us then!"
"Welllll, I while ago he and my older brother were playing catch, and Eli was teasing him about how he threw like a girl. Ethan hates being teased. So, when Eli's back was turned, a ball smacked him hard in the back of his head. I was sitting near them reading but I didn't see Ethan move. You know how you can at least see movement a bit when you're reading?" Emmy paused to take a breath. " But of course, Eli didn't believe that the ball could've just flown off the ground and attacked him like Ethan said. So, Ethan was grounded for a while." she giggled slightly. "But I believe that he actually didn't throw the ball, now that I know about magic." Boy, was it good to have someone to talk to!!!
Gavin laught in delight at the story. It was such a nice story! He felt for the poor kid who got grounded but it reminded him of his own experience with magic when he first found out he may be a wizard himself.
"How did you begin to suspect you may be a witch?" he asked Emerald. He wondered if she had as good a story.
Gavin stomach growl loudly... He was getting hungry.

"Oh playing music how lovely! I myself play the harp, PianoForte, and flute." Alice commented, then decided to add "Pianoforte is the proper name for a piano."
" The harp?? I've always wantedd to learn how to play one!" Emmy said truthfully. She loved the sound of a harp when it was played well. " The flute would also be really fun to play, I took one lesson, but then decided I should improve my other instruments before I took on a new one."

" Oh, me? I just....er....well." Emmy's story was quite embarassing to her, even though it was a lot like Ethan's. " Well, my family was on vacation in the Bahamas. We were just touring around the island one day, and Ethan was driving me crazy! He wouldn't stop complaining about all of the spiders around. So, when we stopped to take a family picture, I stood as far away from him as possible, so I wouldn't have to listen. Right before the picture was taken, I saw a huge spider a few feet away, and before I knew it, it was on Ethan's face!! I still have the picture of him screaming...." she chuckled nervously. Even though it was one of her favorite memories, she didn't like to tell many people about it. Most people found it kind of odd. Understandably. "When did you start to realize you were different?"
"Hello. I'm Kanalynne -- You can call me Kana. It's really a pleasure." And it WAS. She was just so excited! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD! Teehee. She gave a bit of a giggle, then continued. "Are you more excited or nervous to be a first-year here?"
"Excited... I think," he answered with a grin. "I usually don't say much but people are so nice here, it is easy to talk! What about you? Excited too?"
He was impressed with the amount of people he had met in a day. He just hoped he could keep everybody straight and not confuse the names. But Kana should not be a problem. She had red hair after all.
Ember grinned at William. " indeed i am related to him. and i think we will have lotts of fun together. How do you find hogwarts."
" Cool, I love having fun" William told Ember. " I think I finally am going to like HogWarts' William said to Ember." Well untile I met you, a lot of boys and girls seemed to either be rude or do not want to even talk to you" William explained to Ember.

" You really are in love with Jason, aren't you?" William asked Victoria." I hope to make friends, but Ember is going to be a best friend for me for a long time" William said to Victoria."Another Weasley, can you believe it?" William asked Victoria.

Rowan blushed. She wasn't used to compliments. "Thank you. Please say hello for me. I can't believe he's not here this year. It just won't be the same without him."

Theodore pushed the book to the side and nodded, a small smile on his thin lips. "Well, yes," He answered in his distinctly-American accent. "I'm a transfer from the States." Doing the polite thing, he offered his new acquaintance a hand and a warm greeting. "Thank you. Everyone's so... welcoming around here." It was a bit disconcerting for the nervous ned that Theodore tended to be around new people.
Oh, so NOW she was being sort of nice to him? Because he mentioned 'presents'?
But, right, he was in no position to complain, for it was his own fault that Ellie fell short on words to him AFTER he greeted her properly. Or greeted her, or didn't greet her, whatever, his mind had many thoughts and it was proving to be quite difficult to keep track of everything.
"I did," he ventured a smile, but did not look at her yet, "It is nothing, really," because it had been kind of free, and the rest was all on him, his father, and Aaron's abilities to sneak in. So, thanks to Aaron. Did he have it on him, though? The present? As a matter of fact, he did, his cloak had it, the boy had decided to carry it around in case he were to find Ellie on the train. Never mind that he'd been trying to avoid her as long as he could.
Reason for it? Unknown.
Quidditch. That was all it took for her to be more Ellie-like. "Yes, it was a last minute thing, but my father got us tickets, and I went with Aaron," he was going to explain who Aaron was, but since he made yet another mistake of looking at her, then he completely forgot about it and just smiled.
"It was...," not his first Quidditch World Cup, "...pretty awesome, truth be told, we were just terribly disappointed by the outcome," he nodded, and his smile became smaller only because he was talking about England's loss, but she was talking to him, and that's all that mattered, no? "Vindictus refereed in there, did you know? I had a blast watching him do so." It had been rather funny, if not annoying to witness how the man was with all those Quidditch players around him.
So, present time? While Dallin decided if he liked Quidditch or not?
Yup.
"So, I...kind of thought of you...and this picture was taken before the final game," he said, as he started to get a picture of England's team before the final match, they were gathered together behaving like childrens on a Christmas morning, but he'd rather seeing that image, than the one that overtook them once they lost, "Actually, plenty of pictures were taken before the game, but I took this one and...they sort of signed it," that was obvious, since the autographs were there, "Too bad they lost, though," because the picture would've been an even greater gift if they'd won.
And NOW, he stretched his hand to Ellie, holding the picture out for her. It was hers.

"Up somewhere in the New England states. It's not nearly as big as Hogwarts." He'd gotten the hang of that place pretty quickly, despite ten-year-old muggleborn he'd been when he started school there.
He nodded in response, chuckling. "Yeah, I'm not too bummed about that," he winked. "I just hope that if I ever do need it I'll be able to find it." And he was pretty sure he would be able to, if he looked hard enough.
Or asked directions to it... but whatever.
He groaned softly when she mentioned OWLs. "Joy." He said sarcastically. Important exams meant studying, and Dallin absolutely despised studying. With a passion. His ADHD made his attention span regrettably short and studying seemed to be a form of torture for him.
His eyebrows shot up in a surprised manner at Ivory's heart-shaped hands. He glanced at Treyen in Ellie for a second before looking back at Ivory. Hm. Girls were smart if they could figure that out. He smiled slightly, showing that he agreed with her, now that she pointed it out.
Text Cut: Treyen and Ellie <3
So... Treyen was a man of many words, wasn't he? A smirk found it's way onto his face again when the Hufflepuff didn't say much. He seemed very talkative to Ellie, though...
He nodded when the boy told him his year. Dal had now met two other fifth years and it was just the first day back! At the sudden change of subject Dal raised an eyebrow, but decided to just answer the question. "Yeah, I do." And he did... he just didn't play it much. "I'm sure you do too?" Because he probably wouldn't have randomly mentioned it if he didn't.
Ellie BEAMED at Dallin. So he DID like Quidditch... "YOU need to try out, then. This term." Do it.
And, she'll press the matter further later, because World Cup talk trumped Hogwarts Quidditch.
Mmmm, yeah jealousy. Uber jealous.
Ellie nodded to show she was listening. And that Treyen should continue in GREAT detail. Please.
BEAM. Of course, that was no surprise. You most likely couldn't describe a Quidditch World Cup as being anything OTHER than 'awesome'. It just happened that way.
But the outcome...SIGH. "Next year." Nod. Next year, they will win. Optimistic Ellie.
GASPPP "He did?!" Woahh. Vindi back out in the Pro-Quidditch world... That must...suck, actually... To be on the pitch, but not playing. Still, awesome.
Aw shuckkkss. He should NOT have thought of her. Not at the World Cup. There was no thinking allowed, just watching. Tsk, tsk, Treyen. Buuuut if it got her a present in the end....heh.
Blink. Blink.
What?
Ellie eyed the picture in his hand. The one with signatures on it. And just stared. Stared.

Rowan blushed. She wasn't used to compliments. "Thank you. Please say hello for me. I can't believe he's not here this year. It just won't be the same without him."
" You are welcome" Willaim told Rowan." I will not be a substitute for Rex, but will i do as your freind?" Wiliam asked Rowan." I bet Rex would love to see you at the wedding" William said to Rowan." Rex is feeling really down right now" William explained to Rowan.
" Oh, me? I just....er....well." Emmy's story was quite embarassing to her, even though it was a lot like Ethan's. " Well, my family was on vacation in the Bahamas.

"Well, I don't remember really. I was a baby," began Gavin. "My mum told me that when I was a toddler, she used to clean the table of dirty dishes with her wand and magic, you know, by levitating the dishes from the table to the sink... Well, one day, I just levitated my spoon to the sink," explained Gavin with a smile. "My mum always said that it was one the best day of her life: when she found out I would be a wizard too."
"How did you parents react when they found out about you being a witch?"

Ellie eyed the picture in his hand. The one with signatures on it. And just stared. Stared.
Wait...he did like Quidditch? That was always a plus, he was starting to like--Ellie was beaming at the boy? Yeah, then no, Dallin, sorry, we don't like you.
There was, of course, the chance of Ellie beaming at the fact that someone else liked Quidditch, after all, she did love the sport. But Treyen's mind at the moment decided not to accept that.
No, he was not forgetting Dallin's question, he was only thinking on the fact that if the boy did try out, as Ellie suggested, and then both of them got on the team, well, that would mean...extra hours of Quidditch practice together. Just...great.
Could someone please come and get him away from this table? Anyone, really, he'd take Kaia anytime now.
So, eh, back to Dallin, "Of course," he said, the nicest tone possible, "And do you have a favorite team, Dallin?" only one. Not three, like Ellie.
The fifth year was going to nod when, wait, what? "Next year? It happens every four years, Ellie," he chuckled, otherwise it would be very exhausting for the players, and for the fans as well. And for Vindictus, because the man was getting old.
"He did, and he was far too different from the Hogwarts game, he looked...even more fierce, and scary, if that's possible," and had the whole Pro-Quidditch attitude that came with old Quidditch legends. Clearly, Treyen's father was an exception.
Why was she staring at the picture like that, though? Those Quidditch players were only hanging out and smiling at whoever took the picture. He actually took it back and eyed it, in case he'd mistake the picture with another one, but no, that was the right one. "It's yours." Hand extended to her again.
"Something wrong?" was there something really wrong?
Tiberius had been hesitating. He'd found a seat by himself for the ride up, avoiding most of the students, and had lingered as much as he could before finally arriving at the Ravenclaw table.
Hands deep in his pockets, he looked around, spying first years and returning faces that seemed somehow familiar but that he couldn't really place. Three years changed kids a lot, it seemed.
Sighing, he wandered up to the table and... was that?
He narrowed his eyes in focus, for a moment. He thought he'd seen him in Diagon Alley, but hadn't made it over. Deciding it must be Treyen, he took a deep breath.
Walking up to the Hufflepuff, hands still in pockets, he smiled and waited for a lull in the conversation.
He wondered if he'd be recognized.

Walking up to the Hufflepuff, hands still in pockets, he smiled and waited for a lull in the conversation.
He wondered if he'd be recognized.
He'd been wishing for someone to come along and take him away, so, it was only natural that he thought such a thing had happened when someone was standing right behind him...or not right behind him, but close enough.
Truth be told, he regretted wishing so, because he didn't want to leave Ellie with Dallin, which was STUPID, because they were bound to climb the stairs up to their Common Room, and...Treyen couldn't get inside the Common Room, see? That would be extra tricky. Not to mention completely bizarre...
...why was he thinking this stuff?
The boy shook his head as if to clear his mind, and then turned to face the newcomer. Er, the boy seemed remotely familiar...but he didn't know him, or so he thought, "Yes? Can we help you with something?" like, why was a Hufflepuff talking to a Ravenclaw that way when he was the one out of place?
Ellie BEAMED at Dallin. So he DID like Quidditch... "YOU need to try out, then. This term." Do it.

"Something wrong?" was there something really wrong?
Dallin grinned back at Ellie for a second, holding a laugh in. She already knew he liked Quidditch and -- his eyes widened when she mentioned trying out. He shrugged one shoulder before Ellie went on talking to Treyen. He had a feeling he wasn't going to get out of it so easy. He didn't exactly know how he felt about trying out for the team.
"Puddlemere United," He answered automatically, looking back at the Puff. He stopped himself from adding the Holyhead Harpies. He didn't really support that team, but it was one of his favorites. "I don't see them play much, though, what with having muggle parents and whatnot..." He could imagine what would happen if he asked his parents if he could go to a Quidditch game. The look on his dad's face would be hilarious. "What about you?"
He listened to them talk about the professor for a while before tuning out. When was the headmaster gonna give his speech? Dal was hungry!
She seemed to understand it, yet he knew it had been so wrong of him to even walk away from his table.
But, hey, hold on a second, WHAT exactly was Ivy understanding, eh? His eyes widened at the thought, and he couldn't bear to look at the Prefect anymore, not that he was doing such a thing now, all he did was blush. If she understood what he thought she'd understood, then...sigh.
At least she wasn't saying anything...yet.
The BIGGEST mistake ever. He was soooo going to pay for it. He knew.
Right. She already knew how he felt about the whole camera thing, even if she'd been nice enough to take a couple pictures for him. It did come in handy, the camera, but still, her answer on that matter didn't interest much as the next. It was that reply that will allow him to know exactly in HOW much trouble he could be.
Oh?
VERY much trouble.
And the LOOK. She didn't need to say anything else. He swallowed before speaking again, YES, he was still trying to mend it, "That's...good to know." There was a MAJOR change in his voice this time, it was clearly not as cheerful as before, and he had looked away from Ellie before replying. The LOOK, he didn't enjoy it one bit. Stupid mistake.
He was playing with his fingers now, and hoping Maya would come and interrupt him like she did last year, he'd soooo welcome her, for real.
"I--I got you something from the World Cup," which she wasn't going to get as long as she kept giving him LOOKS.
How come he felt like he'd lost something?
Thank you, Dallin, for answering his question. All his questions, really.
And he wanted to apologize NOW, for being such a Slytherin, but no chance he was doing that, after all, he'd danced with Ellie. "Fifth, eh?" the Prefect was out of words, quite literally, his mind was still trying to figure out ways of mending the mistake of forgetting to say a simple 'Hi' to the person that mattered the most.
"Fifth year, as well," he nodded, trying to smile...and quite possibly failing at doing so, "Do you like Quidditch?" it wasn't like he'd turned his back to Ivy and Dallin, so, he could still talk to the boy, right? As long as he didn't ignore the girl next to him.
What, what?
Not able to help eavesdropping, Ivory craned her neck just the tiniest bit to listen. He'd gone to the Quidditch World cup? How awesome! Most definitely beat her summer by a mile. Scratch that by thousands of miles.
And he'd gotten her a gift. Resisting the urge to let slip an "aww," Ivory looked purposefully away. Like to the Staff table...perhaps she should go make pleasantries soon.
SPOILER!!: Ellie

The girl watched him. Quite curiously, too. Like WHAT was he doing with his fingers? Strange. Odd.
Blink. Blinkblink.
"You did?" She was getting so many PRESENTS today!!!
Butwait...cuz...if he got her a present from the World Cup...then..."YOU WENT to the WORLD CUP?!!" THIS is what happens when people don't correspond over long periods of time.
She was SO jealous, too. SO jealous. Honestly, she had picked the WORST summer to spend in the majority of in the non-magical world. See what she MISSED? Her daddy, training, the World Cup. And the worst part was that they had LOST. And it was ALL HER FAULT. If she'd GONE, they would've WON.
"How was it??? Was it exciting???" Ellie hadn't read into the details in the Prophet. She'd gone to who won, and once disappointed, didn't bother with the rest.
And now Treyen was talking to Dallin. Which she was happy about cuz...he was being weird and this made him more normal. PLUS he wasn't cutting her off of the Dallin world anymore if he was talking to him. So, Ellie could talk as well. But she won't. Not just yet. Because she was interested in Dal's answer. He should SO try out this term.
SPOILER!!: Dallin

He'd gotten the hang of that place pretty quickly, despite ten-year-old muggleborn he'd been when he started school there.
He nodded in response, chuckling. "Yeah, I'm not too bummed about that," he winked. "I just hope that if I ever do need it I'll be able to find it." And he was pretty sure he would be able to, if he looked hard enough.
Or asked directions to it... but whatever.
He groaned softly when she mentioned OWLs. "Joy." He said sarcastically. Important exams meant studying, and Dallin absolutely despised studying. With a passion. His ADHD made his attention span regrettably short and studying seemed to be a form of torture for him.
His eyebrows shot up in a surprised manner at Ivory's heart-shaped hands. He glanced at Treyen in Ellie for a second before looking back at Ivory. Hm. Girls were smart if they could figure that out. He smiled slightly, showing that he agreed with her, now that she pointed it out.
Text Cut: Treyen and Ellie <3
So... Treyen was a man of many words, wasn't he? A smirk found it's way onto his face again when the Hufflepuff didn't say much. He seemed very talkative to Ellie, though...
He nodded when the boy told him his year. Dal had now met two other fifth years and it was just the first day back! At the sudden change of subject Dal raised an eyebrow, but decided to just answer the question. "Yeah, I do." And he did... he just didn't play it much. "I'm sure you do too?" Because he probably wouldn't have randomly mentioned it if he didn't.
Joy. The sarcasm in that one word was impressive. Grinning, she gave a nod. He was preaching to the choir. It was the one thing she was worried about for this term.
Her face lighting up in interest, she cradled her chin in her hand still maybe sort of watching the pair out of the corner of her eye. Did Ellie like the gift? Hmm? "Merlin's Acadamy of Magic? Oh, I've heard of that place." A few of the graduating students from the previous year had been transfers from there come to think of it in their fourth year as well. Was it a coincidence? Who knew. "Why'd you transfer?" she asked attentively. Maybe there was some sort of something that happened in a students third year there that made them want to transfer. Some sort of crazy initiation.
Realizing the question probably sounded horribly blunt as if she didn't think he should be here, she gave a small nervous laugh. "Not that it's not great that you did, I just wondered the why. Which," she continued on hurriedly. "you don't have to answer if...you don't want to."
He'd been wishing for someone to come along and take him away, so, it was only natural that he thought such a thing had happened when someone was standing right behind him...or not right behind him, but close enough.
Truth be told, he regretted wishing so, because he didn't want to leave Ellie with Dallin, which was STUPID, because they were bound to climb the stairs up to their Common Room, and...Treyen couldn't get inside the Common Room, see? That would be extra tricky. Not to mention completely bizarre...
...why was he thinking this stuff?
The boy shook his head as if to clear his mind, and then turned to face the newcomer. Er, the boy seemed remotely familiar...but he didn't know him, or so he thought, "Yes? Can we help you with something?" like, why was a Hufflepuff talking to a Ravenclaw that way when he was the one out of place?
Tiberius felt his cheeks flush a bit. Obviously he wouldn't be recognized.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt. Treyen?" His voice clearly betrayed that he wasn't sure if it was actually Treyen... He paused, wondering how to explain. "My name's Tiberius. I don't know if you'd remember me... I transferred out a few years ago."
He wasn't sure why he was so nervous. Except for when he spied the prefect badge. Merlin, lots had changed around here. He'd hoped he'd be able to slip right back into the swing of things, but that was obviously not going to be the case.

"Well, I don't remember really. I was a baby," began Gavin. "My mum told me that when I was a toddler, she used to clean the table of dirty dishes with her wand and magic, you know, by levitating the dishes from the table to the sink... Well, one day, I just levitated my spoon to the sink," explained Gavin with a smile. "My mum always said that it was one the best day of her life: when she found out I would be a wizard too."
"How did you parents react when they found out about you being a witch?"
"Levitated the spoon? Sweet!" she exclaimed. "Uh, I don't think my dad has actually realized yet. And mum was shocked and then she thought I was joking and then when she finally believed me she was pretty cold. She doesn't like the idea of her only daughter being...odd." Emmy said with a sad smile. "My brothers were pretty supportive though!" Well, two of them at least, she thought.
Wait...he did like Quidditch? That was always a plus, he was starting to like--Ellie was beaming at the boy? Yeah, then no, Dallin, sorry, we don't like you.
There was, of course, the chance of Ellie beaming at the fact that someone else liked Quidditch, after all, she did love the sport. But Treyen's mind at the moment decided not to accept that.
No, he was not forgetting Dallin's question, he was only thinking on the fact that if the boy did try out, as Ellie suggested, and then both of them got on the team, well, that would mean...extra hours of Quidditch practice together. Just...great.
Could someone please come and get him away from this table? Anyone, really, he'd take Kaia anytime now.
So, eh, back to Dallin, "Of course," he said, the nicest tone possible, "And do you have a favorite team, Dallin?" only one. Not three, like Ellie.
The fifth year was going to nod when, wait, what? "Next year? It happens every four years, Ellie," he chuckled, otherwise it would be very exhausting for the players, and for the fans as well. And for Vindictus, because the man was getting old.
"He did, and he was far too different from the Hogwarts game, he looked...even more fierce, and scary, if that's possible," and had the whole Pro-Quidditch attitude that came with old Quidditch legends. Clearly, Treyen's father was an exception.
Why was she staring at the picture like that, though? Those Quidditch players were only hanging out and smiling at whoever took the picture. He actually took it back and eyed it, in case he'd mistake the picture with another one, but no, that was the right one. "It's yours." Hand extended to her again.
"Something wrong?" was there something really wrong?
SPOILER!!: Dal

He shrugged one shoulder before Ellie went on talking to Treyen. He had a feeling he wasn't going to get out of it so easy. He didn't exactly know how he felt about trying out for the team.
"Puddlemere United," He answered automatically, looking back at the Puff. He stopped himself from adding the Holyhead Harpies. He didn't really support that team, but it was one of his favorites. "I don't see them play much, though, what with having muggle parents and whatnot..." He could imagine what would happen if he asked his parents if he could go to a Quidditch game. The look on his dad's face would be hilarious. "What about you?"
He listened to them talk about the professor for a while before tuning out. When was the headmaster gonna give his speech? Dal was hungry!
YES, Dallin. You WILL try out.
....
Oh. Merlin. She knew that. She knew that. The redhead mentally kicked herself in the butt. She was blaming her cousins. Again. Good thing they weren't here to know that she blamed them for pretty much every negative thing that's happened since summer.
Though she knew it wasn't REALLY their fault.
"Oh man." She would've loved to see that. Loved to. Cousins. Ugh.
The picture. Right. Ellie still didn't take it. She stared at it a bit more, biting her lip. More for the reason that she wasn't sure what would come out of her mouth if she opened it. "Mine?"
"I...I," she shook her head and looked at Treyen. She would SO cry right now if she wasn't Ellie Stone. Like seriously. She might cry anyway.
And she still didn't take the picture. She didn't believe it. It was like...too much EPICness that...it couldn't be hers. So... yeah. She just couldn't move her hand.
However, Ellie could move her head, and she turned to look at the boy...Tiberius... that approached Treyen. Waiting.

Nika smiled and gave her friend a big hug. "Congrats Jay! The Hufflepuffs are so nice! I'm sure you'll fit right in!" Although Nika was disappointed that her favorite first year was not in the Gryffie house she was happy for Jaymie. The girl seemed to have a hufflepuff sort of feel. It's where she belonged.

Hearing Treyen's voice question someone nearby, Ivory turned in her seat long brown hair fanning over her shoulders in the process. Chin uplifted, to smile a greeting to the person she paused.
Large brown eyes stared at the newcomer, and she found herself blinking a few times as she tried to place him. "Tibi?" She asked questioningly as he offered his name. Was it really him?
Becca walked into the great hall taking a seat at her house table. A first year following the family tradition. She smiled at the pople around her not sure who they were but knowing she had all the time in the world now to figure just that out.
"Levitated the spoon? Sweet!" she exclaimed. "Uh, I don't think my dad has actually realized yet. And mum was shocked and then she thought I was joking and then when she finally believed me she was pretty cold. She doesn't like the idea of her only daughter being...odd." Emmy said with a sad smile. "My brothers were pretty supportive though!" Well, two of them at least, she thought.
"My mum loved it! She still tells me the story," said Gavin. "So, you've been to the Bahamas? How is it? I never really travelled. My parents were always so busy that they never got around to take us on vacation... maybe this year..."
