Tayla sighed nervously as she reached the Slytherin table. She felt a little uncomfortable as some Slytherins eyed her suspiciously. They couldn't seriously think she was up to something, right? I mean...she was only a first year after all.

Tayla decided to get it over with. She spotted a random student and tried to talk.

"Excuse me," she said, clearing her throat and trying to keep her voice from shaking. "I found this book...and...well...do you know any girl...Slytherin girl I mean...well, her name's Elizabeth. Elizabeth Nyx Woods. I think she dropped this on the train."

Tayla showed the inside cover of the book with the name and the Slytherin crest, waiting for an answer.

Jonathan gave a light laugh when Connor asked him about his own girlfriend. He turned around to look at the Ravenclaws and spotted Jeanne talking with her fellow Ravenclaws. Jonathan returned to Connor "She's a Ravenclaw." Jonathan took his first bite. He doesn't know why but he always felt shy in telling or sharing about his relationship.

Connor looked over at the Gryffindor table and smiles across at Kurumi. She seemed to be chatting with that one girl that had yelled at her at the Ice cream shoppe a few weeks ago. "Yeah." He grinned. "So mate, what's your favorite class here? I'm new here and I feel like a first-year just gettin me feet wet." He finished his roll and he was nearly full. "This food is good but I seriously miss mum's egg rolls and her sushi." He grinned. "Dude I miss Japan period."

Transferee??? Oh so that's explains a lot. He does look new in Hogwarts. Jonathan's willing to help any of the transferred students. "Well for starters" he tapped his fingers lightly and thought about the basics "never get them mad." pointing at the staff table--- the professors. "get one mad and you'll surely get yelled at." Jonathan teased. Some of the professors are nice but some are just beyond freaky and scary. "another would be the rules." Rules are quite important to Jonathan. He's a big follower of them. Sometimes he does take the advantage of disobeying them but Jonathan never tries to go overboard about it. Pretty much if you Connor can follow both, the school year would be smooth for him.

Favorite subject... favorite subject. Like Jeanne, he also loves "Potions." he said to Connor. He does memories them quickly. Plus the Snake house head is also the Potions Master. "How about you? Any subjects you like in particular?" curious if he liked any.

Samira's bright eyes scanned the hall, looking for an empty space. Finally, she found one. The young Slytherin sauntered over confidently. There was another girl about her age who was tapping her fingers. She looked quite bored. Samira didn't think she's ever seen the girl before, made her way over. She sat down without waiting or asking to be invited. "Hello," she said coolly. "I don't think I've seen you around. Samira Spinks." she introduced herself, sitting up straighter.

Rozanna watched as more and more Slytherins piled up on the table. Some were shouting, some looked relatively normal, and others had green hair. Well, one had green hair from what she could see. Such straaaaange people in this house. Her train of thought was sidetracked when someone sat next to her, blocking her view of everyone. That was rude. Wasn't it quite obvious that she was in no mood for socializing?

"No, you wouldn't have because I am new." She informed the girl who looked worryingly similar to herself. She sighed, but introduced herself nonetheless, "Rozanna."

"I take it you're not new, then? What is it actually like to be in this house?" The slimy house, how she called it.

affy7ann · 05-03-2011, 05:40 AM

"I guess not..." Tayla thought. No one seemed to be paying attention to her.

In a last attempt she said feebly, "If anyone knows who Elizabeth Nyx Woods is...er...her book's with me...Tayla...Gryffindor...Th-thanks." She bit her lip feeling quite embarrassed and turned around to head back to the Gryffindor table.

Connor nodded. "That seems straightforward enough. It should be fairly easy." He grinned. After all anything would be easy compared to his Drumstrang Professors. Professor Krum and Professor Hendericks His potions and Dark Arts Professors had been nightmares and he had already been warned concerning Professor LaFay's temper. Following the rules was no problem because he was a rule follower unless of course he had just cause to break one. And Pleasing the professors was nothing more than working hard and following the rules and Connor felt sure he could do that.

Leaning back in his chair and placing his hands on his taught belly which was full for the moment Connor thought. "Potions and Care of Magical Creatures. And I'll probably do well in Defence against the Dark Arts simply because of how well I did in it's Drumstrang counterpart." He grinned somewhat Sheepishly.

Elle entered the Great Hall, worried. Where was it? She stalked down toward the Slytherin Table. Had she left it somewhere? The water closet? Hogwarts Train? The redhead took a seat somewhere at the back part of the table. Her eyes were focusing on her empty golden plate, arms supporting her head.

Where were her friends when she needed them? She searched the Slytherin Table, expression grim.

Now was not the time to be that depressed. So Elle plastered a smile and cheered together with her fellow Slythies as First Years were being Sorted into their House.

mellamaet · 05-03-2011, 05:55 AM

Cass entered the great hall with a frown on her face. Stupid firsties almost trampling her to death. Hmph. Honestly, Hogwarts was still going to be there, even if they would just slow down and not squish people to death!! Was she like that as a first year? She hoped not.

Then she walked towards the Slytherin table, she heard someone call Elle's name, and found that it was a young Gryffindor holding a book who looked liked she was going to faint due to fright or something.

"I know her." Cass said as she stopped in front of the girl. "Do you want me to give her the book or would you rather return it to her yourself?" She asked as she raised an eyebrow. Typical of Elle to leave her things lying around.

As she was talking to the little girl, she felt someone pass her who seemed to be in a hurry. Someone with long red hair.

Ah. Elle.

It wasn't that hard to guess who she was considering the bizarre fact that most Slytherin girls were blondes and not redheads.

"What's with the grim expression, Princess?" She asked with a small smile, using the nickname that they had come up for her last term.

Aurora began to speak but Lulu had already moved on to the next conversation. Oh well, she supposed she could just wait for Mordred. She looked around for him, hoping he'd be here soon.

Mordred was one of the last first years to get out of the train a while ago, and obviously Aurora didn't bother to wait for him as he changed into his school uniform. As he entered the Great Hall, he again wished he had another set of eyes. "Not bad." he told himself. He looked around him to find 4 long tables before him. Each table was slowly becoming crowded with hungry students. After he was sorted in to the Slytherin House, he looked out for students with green and silver ties and joined them. Near the front he saw Aurora.

"Good thing you dashed out of the compartment right away." he said as he sat down beside Aurora. "I was able to change in peace." he added. "Good to see you in the same House." Mordred grinned.

Easier than it looks actually. Jonathan smiled at him "Well Hogwarts is a place of fun." he said. "If you follow these rules too well, you'll never get to have fun." Jonathan did have his pleasure of fun while he's here. Jonathan was getting seconds.

Dessert time. Jonathan loves eating sweets after all. He took a slice of apple pie in front of him and started to take a bite. "What year are you in again?" Jonathan forgot if he had asked Connor that question already. Not that he knows since he's a transferee and not a first year student. "How'd you meet the Gryffindor lady?" Jonathan asked while eating his apple pie in delight. Jonathan asks a lot of questions especially when he's interested to know. So, if Connor was a transferee then how come she knew one of the Gryffindor girls? Perhaps in a party over the summer? Or probably they bumped into each other at Diagon Alley? Or it could be that the 2 of them are childhood best friends?

affy7ann · 05-03-2011, 06:06 AM

Though nervous, Tayla quickly walked back to the Slytherin table. She just remembered someone had called her, but didn't realize it until she was sitting with the Gryffindors. "It might have been this Elizabeth girl..." she thought.

"Elizabeth Woods?" she called unsurely. "Erm...anyone named Elizabeth lose a book?"

Elle swung her head around and smiled weakly. "Hey, Cass! Enjoying the Feast so far?" she tried sounding happy. But to her luck, she didn't.

"I lost my book," she said sadly. "Either it fell from my coat or someone stole it."

------

Just then, she heard her name. She stood up, tiptoed and strained her neck. It was to be small when everyone was way taller than you. "Did you hear anyone calling me, Cass?" she asked, wondering if she was going crazy.

The mere suggestion of that sounded rather absurd when Raven had been around although he did want to get to spend time alone with his girlfriend while not worrying about people causing drama.

A soft smile appearing on her lips she nodded "I'd like that." she said softly. Yeah, with Raven and her antics and them having found each other towards the end of Diagon Alley, they really hadn't much time to really go on a date. "Did you have anything in particular in mind?"

She didn't care where they went or what they did, all she knew was excitement fluttered in her stomach at the thought of actually going on a date with her boyfriend for the first time.

"Come on..." she thought desperately. "Elizabeth Woods?...I er...I've got your book..." she continued, hopeful she would find Elizabeth any minute now.

It was all an accident according to the investigators, and my inheritance was signed over...well the Black and Kennedy family vaults were anyway since... the house was made to rubble. Now, let's not talk about this. Ever again, okay. The case closed swiftly and the assets were signed over," she said unaffected.

Rufus began to lightly tug at Sal's hair and make pooty noises as he did so. How was THAT for lightening a mood? Lexi chuckled slightly and clicked her tongue at Rufus. He immediately came to her and sat in her lap. Good little marmoset. MHM.

Wait... did he... "Future wife? Did you just... was that a pro---... wait... they don't think I am good enough. Will they prevent us from being together? What about... my past... my life... will that matter... Did you just ask me to marry you in a round about way?" she stammered along, her cheeks flushing. She would say yes... but she was confused as to whether he had... or hadn't...

"Look... I want to give you the money to purchase us a flat in London. A LOVELY one. Very spacious. It will have to go in your name, which is fine with me... if you still want to move in with me,..." she said after a moment's thought.

Walking hand in hand towards the Slytherin table, Salander listened tensely as Lexi recounted her time at Godrics Hallow. He looked at her intently as she spoke. Her wounds, they looked painful, but Lexi was calm, as if she was speaking about her errands for the day. Would he be as calm had he been there, to have the chance to inflict that retaliation he had imagined on her father? He didn’t know. And now indeed he wouldn’t. With another finality he nodded his head. Yes they’re little secret. But still the weight of worry hasn’t lessened in his mind. If anything, it got heavier.

Something tugged at his hair and made a funny sound, and for a second found himself eyeball to eyeball with the tiny monkey. For some reason he keeps finding himself in a staring contest with various animals, most of which ended well. For the animal.

Then Lexi started to stammer-babble. He blinked a few times, deciphering what she was saying as she deciphered what he told her. “Well uhm… uh…” where to start? “They were set on the pureblood thing because…. they think it will fix the Astors Wizarding-- issues, which has been persisting for a few generations… ” he didn’t want to say it out loud, the lawyers made it sound like a disease, and he was starting to feel the same way. Does he actually want to say in front of her that his line was squibbing out? What if that was enough for her to dump him? That would be his end. Literally.

He bit his lip when she spoke out exactly was plagued his thoughts “I don’t know Lexi, I told them how much you meant to me and they just brushed you aside, like it was expected that I should get over you and focus on my role as an Astor, so I blurted out that you were related to the Blacks… and the Kennedys. Sure got their attention.” he snorted in frustration. ”And then they started asking all about you.” He stared at the empty plate and added whispering “I didn’t tell them you were half-blood, or that you spent time at St Mungos or any of your history. I was trying to get them to accept you as a good candidate for….” and he trailed off. He stared into her eyes. He felt bad. It sounded so technical—the little clause, like a laundry list to be check off. But in that room where he was gambling for his future he had felt like he had to start using his aces. And in the struggle, he unwittingly focused the spotlight entirely on Lexi. They will find out about her past. He was sure of it. And when that happens, he still had one more ace up his sleeve, hopefully it would be enough to sway things in his favor.

They shared a silence and Lexi started speaking about the flat in London. He nodded eagerly, happy for the distraction. "Yeah, we could check out the floorplans when we look around..." It will be under his name? He looked at her as he squeezed her hand and replied "I will if you'll have me."

"Just a minute, Cass. Sorry.." she muttered to her friend. She found her way around the wave of Slytherins who were cheering for the students entering their House.

There stood a little Gryffindor girl who had just been Sorted. Elle scrutinized her from head to toe. "Why do you have my book?" she snapped. "Stole it, perhaps?" she folded her arms.

He looked up and saw little Lila, waving her over he smiled at her happily.

" Hi Connor" William called out to him. " I am so happy you are at HogWarts with me for awhile" William told Connor. How iw everything going with you?" William asked Connor,

O_O

She straightened her robes and cleared her throat. Time to make her debut. "Hi, everyone!" she greeted everyone at the table. Might as well, since she was going to be sharing a common room with these people.

" My cute redheaded Slytherin" William told Peyton. " I have missed you " William said to Peyton. " I am glad we got our school supplies together" Wiliam said to Peyton. How are you doing?" Wiliam asked Peyton. Where is Fee?" William asked Peyton.

The sound of some chattering person or possibly object grew louder and louder behind her. What in the name of Merlin?! With her eyebrows furrowed in slight annoyance, she turned around, hearing her name yelled quite loudly halfway through the spin.

Oh. Lulu Patterson. Well, Lulu was an obvious exception, as Sierra seemed to get along surprisingly well with the third year girl. She was loud, proud, and had a no-nonsense attitude about her similar to the one Sierra usually displayed. Plus, she was a proud Slytherin, which of course earned her enough brownie points to make up for the sound of her ferret making its grand appearance.

Sierra stood and moved to Lulu's end of the table, not because she was willingly obeying, though, but because the feast with Lulu was bound to be better than continuing to spend her time assessing the staff table. "Oh, hey, Lulu," she greeted. Oh, yes. Miss Greingoth could be very nice to a few certain people. She eyed Sir Robin, who she now knew to be the one responsible for the chattering sound she'd heard earlier. "Sir Robin will...," she said, continuing to eye the ferret, "...be less than pleased to meet Hissy Fit." She glanced down at the empty table, wishing there was at least a roll in front of her. "Well, anyway...how was your summer?"

Sierra immediately stiffened her body and widened her eyes. Whoever had just greeted her sounded overly-friendly, which likely meant a badger boy had escaped the confines of his own house table and wandered over to the snake pit. Michael White? Oh, please no. Cedric? Jake? Nahh. Long gone. In her new seat next to Lulu, Sierra slooooowly turned around, finally coming face to face with...

"...oh. Oh, Alex!" she said, her voice a little more excited than usual. It had been months, literally, since she'd seen her brother, and Merlin it looked like he'd grown even taller than he'd been the last time she'd seen him. Sierra had always secretly joked that Alex was half mountain troll, what with his unusual height of--what? 5'6"? 5'7"? Hmm...--at such a young age.

...and then awkwardness set in. Why? She didn't exactly know, but she found it sort of hard to think of something else to say. "So, ...how was your summer?" she finally asked. Yeah. That's what she wanted to know.

Sierra had just finished questioning Alex about his summer, when she happened to glance across the table and see some unfamiliar older girl looking her way. Had she been here last school year? Hmm...nah. Sierra would have remembered her from at least a few classes or the common room. A transfer? Yeah. Most likely. ...but why was she trembling? Surely someone her age wasn't afraid of their first day of school?

She mentally assessed the girl for a moment and then finally spoke up. "Sierra Greingoth," she said, "...and I'll be much better once this feast gets underway and I can return to the common room." She paused and reminded herself that this was a new student and someone going out of their way to at least try and make a friend. She smiled and added, "It's good to meet you. Is this your first year here at Hogwarts?" Wow. She sounded so...Hufflepuff.

" Hello, my name is William Montcenaggioaka Starr" he introduced himself to the girl. " I just like meeting a lot of boys and girls at HogWarts" William explained to the girl. " Of course, you must be speical because all the boys must fall over you to meet you" William told the girl. " I know why too because yo uare really cute" William said to the girl.

Then she noticed something didn't seem right about Orabelle- was the girl not eating?

"What's the matter? Upset about something. I can understand. My best friend left last year and her mother locked her away in America." she explained, shrugging.

Emma turned around to see another girl and she smiled happily at her. "Hi, not sure if I've seen you around before. I'm Emma. Emma Malfoy. And you are? So is this your second or third year here?" she asked, holding her hand out for the girl to shake it. Twas always good to be friendly- Fee, Alex, and Ellie were not here. Pout. Neither was Dianna nor Sel. Bigger Pout. Yet the blonde continued to smile at the other girl.

" Id yoru name Emma?" William asked her. " My cousin Rex has a picture of you" William said to Emma. " My name is William Montcenaggio but call me J.J. Starr" he introduced himself to Emma. How did you know my cousin Rex?" William asked Emma.

"No!" Tayla replied with a start. She didn't want to be on the bad side of a Slytherin...and definitely not fight on the very first day at Hogwarts! "I found it in the train...next to the food trolley." She handed the book back and noticed her hand was trembling slightly. Not wanting the girl to see it, she slipped her hand back quickly, keeping them at her sides.

Something tugged at his hair and made a funny sound, and for a second found himself eyeball to eyeball with the tiny monkey. For some reason he keeps finding himself in a staring contest with various animals, most of which ended well. For the animal.

Then Lexi started to stammer-babble. He blinked a few times, deciphering what she was saying as she deciphered what he told her. “Well uhm… uh…” where to start? “They were set on the pureblood thing because…. they think it will fix the Astors Wizarding-- issues, which has been persisting for a few generations… ” he didn’t want to say it out loud, the lawyers made it sound like a disease, and he was starting to feel the same way. Does he actually want to say in front of her that his line was squibbing out? What if that was enough for her to dump him? That would be his end. Literally.

He bit his lip when she spoke out exactly was plagued his thoughts “I don’t know Lexi, I told them how much you meant to me and they just brushed you aside, like it was expected that I should get over you and focus on my role as an Astor, so I blurted out that you were related to the Blacks… and the Kennedys. Sure got their attention.” he snorted in frustration. ”And then they started asking all about you.” He stared at the empty plate and added whispering “I didn’t tell them you were half-blood, or that you spent time at St Mungos or any of your history. I was trying to get them to accept you as a good candidate for….” and he trailed off. He stared into her eyes. He felt bad. It sounded so technical—the little clause, like a laundry list to be check off. But in that room where he was gambling for his future he had felt like he had to start using his aces. And in the struggle, he unwittingly focused the spotlight entirely on Lexi. They will find out about her past. He was sure of it. And when that happens, he still had one more ace up his sleeve, hopefully it would be enough to sway things in his favor.

They shared a silence and Lexi started speaking about the flat in London. He nodded eagerly, happy for the distraction. "Yeah, we could check out the floorplans when we look around..." It will be under his name? He looked at her as he squeezed her hand and replied "I will if you'll have me."

She listened to him...and stared... she knew it... they were going to rebuke her and she was going to lose him. She actually started to cry a little bit... "You didn't answer my question... did you just say you want to marry me? Or was that what you told them to keep from having your life controlled? They aren't going to let us be together are they?"

...

"I actually forgot... I inherited the summer house. In the South of France. I was thinking of living there. If you want to... you could move there with me. Salander... did you or didn't you ask me to marry you? I am confused... please just answer it so I can get this straight. And if that is not what you meant... it's okay... I am..." she cut off and began to cry a bit harder, silently though so as not to draw more attention to herself.

Rufus smacked Salander in the head and stuck his tongue out at him and immediately went to his mistress. She was sad... Rufus didn't like that one bit... He crawled into her lap and actually put his little arms around her neck in a little monkey hug. No more sads.

Each table was slowly becoming crowded with hungry students. After he was sorted in to the Slytherin House, he looked out for students with green and silver ties and joined them. Near the front he saw Aurora.

"Good thing you dashed out of the compartment right away." he said as he sat down beside Aurora. "I was able to change in peace." he added. "Good to see you in the same House." Mordred grinned.

"As if we ever doubted it!" Aurora grinned at Mordred. It was a bit of a relief that she knew someone in her own house. "Sorry I left you, I'm a little excited, in case you hadn't noticed. I was the first one in here, isn't it wonderful!" She could tell he was a little amazed, though he was trying not to show it. "I have to write to mother after dinner, she'll want to know I'm in Slytherin. Have you charmed your tie green yet?"

"I found it in the train...next to the food trolley." She handed the book back and noticed her hand was trembling slightly. Not wanting the girl to see it, she slipped her hand back quickly, keeping them at her sides.

Elle grabbed the book. She checked it for any damages or folds, but there were none. She glared at the First Year. She could tell if she was lying or not. "How did you find it?" Raising her eyebrows and pocketed her book. Elle was intent on knowing the whole story as to how this girl had found it.

She didn't care where they went or what they did, all she knew was excitement fluttered in her stomach at the thought of actually going on a date with her boyfriend for the first time.

"Hmm.. how about The Three Broomsticks? Of course we'll have to wait till the first Hogsmeade weekend which won't be too bad." It hopefully wouldn't be a total disaster even though he was known to say stupid things at the wrong time which caused even more drama that really wasn't needed. Case in point, a certain conversation with Natasha before you left for London when you totally made a fool out of yourself then you left on a bad note from Los Angeles. Now that really wasn't something that he wanted to think about anymore, it was bad enough the first time and despite that he felt there was a need for an apology there but maybe it was just best to move on.

Tayla breathed in deeply, trying to keep calm. A few Slytherins were starting to watch and that didn't make her feel any better.

"You must have dropped it when I bumped into you...in the train, remember?" Tayla began shakily, struggling to keep her voice still. She wasn't going to let this girl get away with thinking she stole it. "I saw it on the floor...right after you and your friend walked away. Th-that's why I didn't...I mean, I couldn't return it then...so I...erm..."

Tayla shrugged and forced herself to speak straight. At least she was a little taller than Elizabeth. That helped somehow. "I just thought you'd want it back. I would, if I lost a book, too."

"You really were. I was about to say to you a while ago to get out of the compartment so I could change, and when I turned you were gone. Figured you swam across the lake 'cause you were that excited." Mordred chuckled at the thought. He looked around the hall, and studied the details. It was pretty much like home.

"Yes, I have to write too. Mum would be happy about the result." he said as he looked down at his tie. "It'll change automatically." he shrugged and at that moment, his tie turned into a deep shade of green and silver, as well as his hood and a Slytherin badge appeared on his left chest. "And it's official." he declared with a grin.

"I'm famished. Shall we?" he asked Aurora before taking a bite of his steak and mashed potatoes.
