Default Slytherin House Table

Eat, drink, and be merry, O Snakes. Classes begin again tomorrow.

The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.

And what's this? The silverware is tarnished and askew, almost as if thrust on the table willy-nilly. Take a seat and search for a clean spoon while the Sorting Hat ceremony commences. The House Elves have done their clean up work quickly and effectively, and the silverware and dishes are now set to right.

Isabella Marie Evans
Third Year
Default

Isabella Walked to the Slytherin table and found a seat. She Had been a bit late to the feast this Time But she wasn't going to tell anyone even if they did notice. She sat there staring around the table trying to find some New faces to meet and greet. She'd once been a first year and it was lonely not to have friends on the first day.

Isabella Looked around for he sister at the Ravenclaw table. Her sister annabella Had been sorted into ravenclaw, what a shame she wasn't in Slytherin, But No one could change the sorting hat's mind, Wait did it even have a mind? "Well Anyway"She thought. " Atleast She gets to come to Hogwarts".

Zhenya looked around and saw another girl standing there. She didn't quite look so new, she thought.

"Hi, I'm Zhenya," she introduced. "You're not a first year, like me, are you?" she asked.

Kimalia was merely drinking her pumpkin juice when she caught Sierra's gaze. She almost blinked in surprise, was Sierra going to glare at her for making a rather rash decision for coming to her aid only to contribute on losing more points? She continuing sipping until she saw Sierra's mouth line curve, very slightly, but into.. a smile? This made Kimalia finally blink in surprise, though Sierra already turned her head before she could witness her blinking.

Kimalia's own mouth curved into her usual smile though it would appear like one who was enjoying a satisfying drink. This was a rare and privileged honor to see the supposed grumpiest of Slytherin's smile at her. Kimalia's disappointment level shrank considerably, only remaining for seeing Professor Lafay at her worse. She now had some plans to make that night, indeed.

"Yeah," Sarah laughed, "I know it was. Maybe that's why I took it." she informed him, smirking in amusement.

"How did I figure it out?" Sarah pondered, mashing part of her casserole with the fork, "I guess it was when I got my letter, but I suppose the accidental magic helped... what about you? You're muggleborn too, right?"

He wouldn't admit it so instead he kept joking around "Nah, I think I'll stay with you" he nodded "Ahh I see the reason you came here" he felt like a imaginary lightbulb went on in his head "Youu..." he said pointing at her "Felt lonely and knew I'll be here " because he was the only one she knew "So, you could stay here. Now everything is clearer" besides she wanting to be here with him. Because she DID wanted. Or to see boys.

Now back to the guy's numbers, how come she have gotten three numbers already? Hmm...maybe she asked them? Ha! she might have so he can be jealous but no he wasn't. Or maybe they gave it without being asked? However, he Nikolas Agger would not show any kind of jealousy towards it. If he could he would have set the papers on fire, but that would have being to obvious of being jealous and no, he was not going to show any weak spots. So, instead he congratulate her because it was something she didn't expected.

Free to decide on whoever to date? No if you have a big brother like Nikolas. "You are wrong, since I am your big brother I have to set you limits" he crossed his arms "So no dates and start studying better" yeah, because study was more important than boys. "Leaving so fast? Why? you mad because of my decision?" he smirked "Your parents should be glad that you have a brother here to protect you" Mhm, because without him she would be failing every class and flirting with every guy.
Jade was not buying his little game he was playing. Not at all. She rolled her eyes as he said he would stay with her. "Oh my gosh, you're so sweet." She said grabbing his hand and batting her eyelashes at him. She was obviously being sarcastic but she still felt a blush creeping onto her cheeks. She let go of his hand as he teased her some more. "I was not lonely, I noticed you on the way to the Gryffindor table, and I don't need you in my life anyways." She said, crossing her arms. Okay, maybe she did.

Nikolas kept on going on about studying better and not paying any attention to boys that Jade zoned out into her own little world. She looked away and stared at a boy at the Ravenclaw table who seemed quite attractive to her. Okay, not the best idea to just stare at a guy, but she was doing it on purpose. Just so it would get on Nikolas' nerves, that is.

She decided that it had been long enough and didn't want to freak out the Ravenclaw guy, so she turned back towards Nikolas. "You know, this whole thing about 'being my big brother' made me realize something. You care about me. You care about me, a lot." She said, poking him on the shoulder while a smirk was placed upon her face. Now she got him.

"I say thanks to them! But the house elves from here no because I'm new" Get it? N-E-W. How can he say thanks to house elves he didn't knew? It was pointless. So, Miss I-am-so-fabulous was a fifth year too? "So I guess I'll have to deal with your constant imagination everyday then" he commented. Not that it was something bad, just something that doesn't happen everyday.

This was how he expected her to react after calling her with the forbbiden nickname, he better have his wand ready in case she punch him or something worse. He laughed "Easy girl!" trying to calm her down "Alright I'll call you candy hater and that's it" he nodded. No Selena or Sel, for him she would be candy hater whether she liked it or no. Pffft, brooms weren't mean, he frowned "Of course they have to go up high...they are brooms" Obviously. "And no, you have to race against me or else it doesn't count" he had to see her on a broom hehe. She was doing the puppy eyes? Nah sorry girl it doesn't work for him. "Stop doing those puppy eyes, I won't giving in" he shook his head. So, no candy for her? That's weird. She then said she wanted him to do her herbology homework...for two months? He thought it for a minute. It wasn't that bad, but he would have enough with his homework and then with hers. Hmmm..."Okay, deal!" who cares? anything for seeing her on a broom and besides he will win.

Now let's keep going with her big imagination. He kept nodding when she said people weren't amazing as her "Yeah I see. No one has so many random ideas at once" he replied. No one except her. Now she was explaining how she would go to Pluto. Did she knew Pluto was like light years from here? I guess she didn't "Have you thought that it would take years and years to get there?" Pluto wasn't around the corner, if for the moon have took a while to get there how can you imagine for Pluto?, but for her everything was possible. At the comment of the polar bears, his eyes widened. Didn't she knew that? Merlin, he would have to teach him a lot of things "Of course they have" What do you thought there were? Besides Santa and house elves. "And they are big, really big so I guess you should worry more about them than Santa"

She could pout everything she want but both knew he was more awesome. "I'm not lying, and that is what hurts you most because you know it is true! I am more awesome" Ha!

It was obvious this was cheating with or without rules. Well, for him it was. "Since it is my game, I say it is cheating" he frowned. "Now stop holding him or no chocolate bar for you"
Selena gasped and shoved him slightly. Not hard enough to push him off the bench, mind you. "It's not my fault! Maybe they knew you were a meanie so they didn't do it!" she replied, with a frown. He was a big fat meanie. And there was nothing he could say that would change her mind about that. "Soooo? It doesn't matter, I was new tooooo," she responded... like... five years ago. And her house elves didn't exactly love her, or at least... 90 percent of them disliked her. Hmph. "Nopeeee, maybe I'll disappear onto Pluto," Selena said simply as Kent continued to squirm in her hands.

"Good, but you can't call me that either, that's not nice," Selena said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. Which she had perfected over the summer. Heh. And if he did, she'd kick him in the shins. Because she heard it hurt and calling someone a mean name meant that the person deserved pain. As he continued to talk about flying she continued to pout and give him puppy dog eyes. "B-b-but... I... don't know how to fly..." she said in a tiny voice. It didn't help if you were absolutely terrified of heights either. Selena usually ended up closing her eyes and clutching on for dear life. She didn't wanna fly.

Plus... heights were terrifying.

Selena beamed, forgetting about the whole broom thing for a moment. "Exactly, it's called being imaginative, and it's amazing," she said with a shrug and a smile on her face. No one else had the same attention span as her either, so it wasn't surprising, really. "Of course not, I have magic... duh," Selena said, rolling her eyes. Plus they weren't living in like the... 20th century anymore. Hmph. Or was it the 19th? Selena wasn't good with dates, places and people in history. She gasped. "It's okay! They don't eat chocolate, plus, I can have a zoo there!" Selena decided, she really ought to write it all down and show this to Emma later. Just so they could plan out everything accordingly.

"Stop it! Stop lying, it's not nice to lie," Selena said childishly. "And fine you can be more awesome," she sighed... but in her mind she added, just to herself mind you, 'until I find a way to toss you onto Mars.' And that would happen soon if her plan worked.

Selena shook her head and kept her hands on her head before sighing and letting go of Kent... who rolled off her head. "I don't like you, you're mean," she said, frowning as she cuddled the puff ball in her arms, despite his squirming, she liked the little guy. He was fluffy.

"O que você está fazendo?" he questioned the attacker, his voice echoing through the hall. First the danger of dying because of dirty plates, now this shameful attack--wait, after jumping a good one metre back from the offenser, he got to take a better look at her and...

"Eris!?" That was both a reprimand and a surprise, although the latter was stronger. "What are you doing?" No one, NO ONE up until this moment had shown him any signs of friendship and NO ONE had EVER dared hugging him, except for his girlfriends, of course. Clearly he had been too soft to the girl, maybe as a result of Louisa's presence there. Sure, he liked having little students adoring him and whatnot but HUGGING and HUMILIATING him in the middle of the whole school was just too much.

His features softened as he got over the first shock and upon hearing her pronounce his name perfectly. Now, maybe for that, she deserved a hug. It wasn't his fault, after all, if he influenced people so positively, no? He even offered her a tiny smile, before he explained: "I fixed it myself." Just like that.

"I see you're in Slytherin." One more point for her.


Startled for a slight moment, which passed as quickly as it came with a widening of her eyes, the young witch didn’t mean to scare him as he seemed to blurt something in Portuguese in response to her. O que você está fazendo.... she would have to look that up later in case other students at Hogwarts spoke this language as well.

Putting her mental note aside, Eris sat down softly, with her childish and small smile still unable to fade since sorting. She glanced at him and back at the arm and then back at him with a look of impression plastered on her face, though of course, the little witch didn’t know quite yet what a complex spell was and was not yet, so she kept the urge to congratulate João to herself.

“So quickly...” she continued seemingly unable to not speak candidly , “I’ll try to look that spell up for the next time my luggage attacks someone” the eleven year old grinned with a small laugh escaping through her teeth.

“And I see you are as well....” Eris replied with a repressed but noticeable pride to her voice at her new house. “But we already are losing points...er...I don’t really know what that means......but it’s bad.” She nodded her head back and forth as though was pondering the same thing she spoke as she was speaking. The head of house seemed really strict.

“Did ya have fun on the train?” the little witch added, as he and his girlfriend - she had never gotten a chance to introduce herself before they left the platform- had gotten separated from Eris the duration on the way to Hogwarts.

SPOILER!!: Will Starr

" Nah, we would disown them" William laughed. " I am just teasing you about the disowning" William said to Eris. The meals are always great" Willaim smiled."Actually last year, there had been a mysterious pirate ship that cocked near HogWarts and maybe a couple of professors had beeen kidnapped from here, but we had good professors from the ship anyway if they did come from the ship" Willaim explained to Eris. " Just always be on your guard here" William smiled.


Eris couldn’t help but give a toothy grin, “Your family sure sounds nice....” she began, though wondering if he had any siblings who were at or future Hogwarts students. It would be fun if one of them turned out to be a Slytherin too.

“Pirateship?...... Kidnapped?!” O___e

“Wait...so teachers got kidnapped...” she narrowed her eyes down at her lap in thought as she tried to figure out what he said, pointing in one direction with a finger as though imagining a ship in the air. “....and then were replaced by teachers from that ship?” she continued, moving her finger to another direction with a half-circle motion to show the teachers coming from the ship to the other place, eyes still concentrated as though the blank air would tell her something.

[I]On her guard[/] ooo, that sounded more fun than it should be worth. When you need to be alert, that means of course, that the day would never be stagnant as she thought school would be. She grinned to herself as she thought this through.

"Do you know anything about Hufflepuffs?" she asked, trying to let Eris speak.
Dislike Slytherins? “It might be just a quidditch rivalry thing...” Eris tried her best to infer using the usual source of conflict between wizarding groups. Then again, what did the hat say Slytherin was? Something about cunning...well Eris sure was that, but she couldn’t seem to remember much more from the excitement of the sorting that seemed like a haze.

“The Hufflepuffs?” Eris restated as she gave it a moment of thought. “Kinda...they are supposed to be really sweet and loyal...like a puppy” the little witch continued speaking as she thought, but her cheeks tinted at the last part, “I mean...in a good way...they are nice” she tried to cover herself as she let out a small laugh. “Ravenclaws I was told are the wise ones that can think through anythings...” She added as that house was gloated about the most within her family.

That was she could think of sayin. Fail. "I'm sure fate isn't getting back at you for that. We all make mistakes and most people's persona's are based on what they've experienced from their parents" she replied. Of course, it wasn't the case with Lorelai. Lorelai was her own person. She didn't base any part of herself on anyone else and she'd curse anyone else who did.

Ah. Introductions. Again. "I'm Lorelai Vanderwalker, but my friends call me Lori" she replied.

I must've missed that" he replied then shook the young one's hand when he uttered his name "Pleased to meetcha Ash." Does he go around greeting every new kid? Again simple answer was no. But.... " Well, lets just say that my stay here at Hogwarts has taught me the value of welcoming people with a open hand..." as opposed to his usual closed lipped, closed fisted version. Ah how far he's come.
For some reason, Ashley hadn't expected a handshake or anything, but he recovered quickly enough to give a pretty good one. His grandfather liked to tell him that handshakes were important, so he'd practiced.
"Nice to meet you too," he said, feeling pretty lame about it. That was a little awkward, and came out so, but he was trying his best.
"Everyone seems to already know each other," he pointed out, also feeling lame about that. He hoped it didn't sound sad or anything. He was just stating something he'd observed, and generally being terrible at conversation. Maybe he could ask a question, since he had a few on his mind. "What do we do after this?" was the one he came up with. It was also lame. He just wasn't going to win this.

Eris stiffled a laugh at the funny little things they had him wear. "Then on the side of the page they have his name and a little description of what he has on his body paired with little lined 's's." Eris added though she wasn't sure she wanted to go into that as she really didn't know what any of that meant. "But...they must make him do this often...cause he always has to apparate out of the country almost every week." Eris stopped for a moment her eyes widening for half a second hoping she hadn't said too much.

She turned her eyes back to face him, wondering if he was going to say what his family did now, or if her explanation still faltered within his mind.
Ashley was about to ask why anyone would even want a picture of someone looking dead, but thankfully before he could ask such a stupid thing, he remembered that they were talking about muggles. And muggles were weird. He could kind of see why some people would find them interesting, though, he had to admit. But it was more of the kind of interest that you would give to something on exhibit as an oddity somewhere. He still wasn't too sure he'd care to actually know any of them, especially if they might want to take pictures of him that don't move and have on weird outfits with lines and whatnot.

"Where does he go, then?" he asked, having completely forgotten that she had asked about him. "Have you ever gone with him? It sounds like it would be interesting to watch."

Maria sighed. "Not at all...if you want, I can kinda sum them up" she said. She sighed again. "I guess. Ad's always been there for me, and the first few years I knew her, as a cousin rather than a stepsister, I hated her.

She smiled. "Sometimes I'm Called Mari or Ria" she said.

Maddy couldn't wait to start learning magic, she had been waiting weeks to try out her new wand. She pulled it out of her glow in the dark holster and began playing with it..
Amethyst blushed deeply, looking down slightly, "I wouldn't know.." She smiled sheepishly to her.

Two of her close friends were in Slytherin. She first, looked to see if Sarah and Lana had gotten a warm welcome. She'd met another Slytherin, Angelina. She was nice like Sarah and Lana.
"Hi! I`m Kelsey!! What`s your name?"
Amethyst smiled to the girl bowing softly to her. "Hello!! My name's Amethyst; Nice to meet you!"

Lorelai shook her head. "Nah, its ok" she replied. She already had too much information to proccess. Any more and she'd probably explode. "That doesn't make you a bad person" she replied. It was true though.

Lorelai's smile grew a little wider.

Maria smiled.

Sky sat down at the large table near a large group of what seemed to be her fellow first years, waiting for an opening to introduce herself. She wished to get to know her peers at least a little (and maybe befriend a few), but she didn't want to be rude. She was starting to kick herself for sleeping on the train. She'd missed a prime opportunity to meet people, not to mention whatever had caused them to be down 12 points this early in the year. What is that about? she thought as as filled her plate with food.

Maria smiled.
Lorelai nodded. She was right. "When I've proccessed the information you've already given me" she replied. Then she's probably be able to proccess it better. "Well you're not. Everyone wants some attention at some point"

But it was more of the kind of interest that you would give to something on exhibit as an oddity somewhere. He still wasn't too sure he'd care to actually know any of them, especially if they might want to take pictures of him that don't move and have on weird outfits with lines and whatnot.

"Where does he go, then?" he asked, having completely forgotten that she had asked about him. "Have you ever gone with him? It sounds like it would be interesting to watch."
"Nawww" Eris kicked her foot under the table with a boy-like grimace, as she looked towards the table. She had wanted to go, Merlin, she had tried to go multiple times to see his latter job.

"My mum wouldn't let me go..." she replied a bit sadly as her mother didn't want her to have any muggle influence. They couldn't be that bad, but Eris retorts were always in vain.

Her face elevated quickly back to it's original care-free expression. "Oh, he goes everywhere" Eris beamed, "...and he brings me back stuff too.."the little witch grinned happily at the thought. "France, Korea, South Africa...you name it and he has probably been there doing the same strange thing. Picked up a few languages too...tried to teach me and my brother when we were younger." the little witch gave a laugh in memory at how well that had went. Poor little tots wanting to play outside when their father insisted on reading books that didn't even have the alphabet they were trying to learn!

Even if the guy didn't mean to ingnore her after just after one 'hi' because he was so interested in the gold goblet. Still, it made Victoria feel being ignored.



Victoria became fascinated and confused about William's family tree. Victoria begin to feel dizzy all over again....wait...did he say Harry Potter? Isn't he the famous boy who lived or something like that? And Ron! And Hermione! Aren't these two his best friends or something? "Wow! You have a very interesting family tree there." said Victoria excitedly. Think! A whole family of famous wizards and witches.

Victoria widened her eyes as William mentioned the school professors. "Lafay?" Victoria said curiously. "Yeah, I heard some of the people talk about her on the train." Funny how Victoria actually remembers something from the train ride! "You like her? But you said people called her 'Devil Lady'!"
" I just got lucky to be born ino that family and be part of the family by my cousin's marriage" Willaim told Victoria." So you did hear about Professor Lafay and her so called "evil ways' William said to Victoria. Then Wiliam just laughed very hard." I think she is the top professor here and you learn a lot from her" William explained to Victoria." If you stay out of trouble,especially with her, then you have noting to worry about at all" William smiled.

O que você está fazendo.... she would have to look that up later in case other students at Hogwarts spoke this language as well.

Putting her mental note aside, Eris sat down softly, with her childish and small smile still unable to fade since sorting. She glanced at him and back at the arm and then back at him with a look of impression plastered on her face, though of course, the little witch didn’t know quite yet what a complex spell was and was not yet, so she kept the urge to congratulate João to herself.

“So quickly...” she continued seemingly unable to not speak candidly , “I’ll try to look that spell up for the next time my luggage attacks someone” the eleven year old grinned with a small laugh escaping through her teeth.

“And I see you are as well....” Eris replied with a repressed but noticeable pride to her voice at her new house. “But we already are losing points...er...I don’t really know what that means......but it’s bad.” She nodded her head back and forth as though was pondering the same thing she spoke as she was speaking. The head of house seemed really strict.

“Did ya have fun on the train?” the little witch added, as he and his girlfriend - she had never gotten a chance to introduce herself before they left the platform- had gotten separated from Eris the duration on the way to Hogwarts.



Eris couldn’t help but give a toothy grin, “Your family sure sounds nice....” she began, though wondering if he had any siblings who were at or future Hogwarts students. It would be fun if one of them turned out to be a Slytherin too.

“Pirateship?...... Kidnapped?!” O___e

“Wait...so teachers got kidnapped...” she narrowed her eyes down at her lap in thought as she tried to figure out what he said, pointing in one direction with a finger as though imagining a ship in the air. “....and then were replaced by teachers from that ship?” she continued, moving her finger to another direction with a half-circle motion to show the teachers coming from the ship to the other place, eyes still concentrated as though the blank air would tell her something.

[I]On her guard[/] ooo, that sounded more fun than it should be worth. When you need to be alert, that means of course, that the day would never be stagnant as she thought school would be. She grinned to herself as she thought this through.



Dislike Slytherins? “It might be just a quidditch rivalry thing...” Eris tried her best to infer using the usual source of conflict between wizarding groups. Then again, what did the hat say Slytherin was? Something about cunning...well Eris sure was that, but she couldn’t seem to remember much more from the excitement of the sorting that seemed like a haze.

“The Hufflepuffs?” Eris restated as she gave it a moment of thought. “Kinda...they are supposed to be really sweet and loyal...like a puppy” the little witch continued speaking as she thought, but her cheeks tinted at the last part, “I mean...in a good way...they are nice” she tried to cover herself as she let out a small laugh. “Ravenclaws I was told are the wise ones that can think through anythings...” She added as that house was gloated about the most within her family.




"I heard that ours is under the lake...and we can see creatures from the windows...." Eris began in a low voice, "That would be so cool! But also kind of scary if you wake up to see a giant squid or something...." the little witch added with a laugh.
" You should come meet my family during a holifday session" Willaim told Eris" The rumor is that professors were kidnapped and nver showed up back to HogWarts' Willaim said to Eris. " We never knew what happened to the pirate ship at the end of the last term because even the professors took over left the school, too" William explained to Eris.. " You seem like you can handle any situation" Willaim smiled. "So how do you like talking to a Gryffindor?" William asked Eris.

Eris saw a new first year sit down at the long Slytherin table, gee the sorting sure had a lot of students.

"Hi there!" the witch who had a rather closer resemblance to a boy, greeted the girl with a friendly smile. "My name is Eris, welcome to Slytherin!" the little dark haired first year beamed.

Alice felt as if that came out wrong. She tried smoothing it over. "Probably. I hear Slytherin and Gryffindor have excellent players. I want to be a chaser, but I'm obviously too young."

"Hufflepuffs and puppies, what a cute comparison. My mum said her best friend was a Hufflepuff. Best friend a girl could have, I suppose."

Alice wondered if it was OK to ask about others sortings. "The hat told me that I would be a good Ravenclaw. What about you?"

"I think I might just take you up on that offer..." Eris grinned, though the winter holidays were far off. Taking a bite of her roll she was quick to add, "You like quidditch?" if they ever did hang out, nothing could truly beat a game of quidditch in Eris' mind.

She gave a small laugh as he mentioned her ability to adapt, "I guess looking like a boy must have made me unnaturally tougher" the witch gave a laugh, running a thin hand through her dark hair out of habit.

"Talking to a Gryffindor?" Eris restated with a look of ponderment before she responded. "Well Mr.Gryffindor..." she began raising an eyebrow, "I enjoy talking to you...so I must feel enjoyment in it" Eris chuckled, placing her half eaten roll pack down on the silver plate. "What is meant by the Slytherin-Gryffindor rivalry anyway?" she asked earnestly. As it was her first day, she had only heard it mentioned.

"Oh! I'm really fascinated with Potions and Defence Against The Dark Arts," she smile brightly. "Especially the latter!" Audrey's mind suddenly wandered of. "So what is it really like in the muggle world? I've always been curious..." she thought of her father who always despised muggles. She frowned slightly. Nothing seemed to be wrong with them though she did wonder a few times how they managed without magic. She couldn't imagine a life without magic.

"Totally," Audrey agreed. She thought about her father and mother who always frowned upon muggles. She let out a sigh. "I'm a bit tired now...Aren't you?"

If Eris really was related to her then she'd have someone else in the family who didn't hate muggles. She'd have to write a letter to her mother and ask about the Ashwin family. Hopefully they were related...
