After the carriage ride Vickers immediately went up the common room to set his familiars lose and headed for the showers. He's never experienced something so hectic as getting to Hogwarts for this term, and really he felt like he just wanted to lay on his bed and get a good night's rest already.

But a grumbling tummy will keep him up and with this being his last term he wasnt about to miss his last opening feast, no matter how tired he already was, so the lanky Ravenlcaw took out his spare uniform from the wardrobe, whos pant legs were a little short now, got dressed and made his way towards the Great Hall.

He was one of the early ones it seems, understandable perhaps since most people were probably still trying to get things sorted out after the hassle of the trains and the portkeying. His gaze shifted towards the Staff table and unconsciously made a gulp-- the new Headmistress will be making the speech there, the Board of Directors probably will be seated there too-- all of whom he has already met, and not in the best of circumstances. Is it too much to hope that they would forget about him? He wasnt wearing a uniform or his robes when he got dragged into the Prefects Compartment, so maybe this cleaned up spiffy Vickers is enough to throw them off? Maybe?

Elliot guessed she should put her stuff in her dormitory. Because, you know, dragging your trunk and backpack around was very cumbersome. And Elliot wasn't used to...pulling her trunk around herself. WIth house elves...and her aunt to help earlier in the day, she was all BREATHLESS. UGH.

She dropped her stuff off, brushed her hair necessities, eh? and rushed back down, all out of breath...

Elliot was NO athlete.

She was in a fairly decent mood, though, and even feeling a bit chatty. Which was weird, because Elliot nEVER felt like talking to strangers...but there she was, plopping down across from some boy(wasn't his name like, Vick or something? Pfff. As if Elliot paid attention to class).

"Interesting train ride, hmm?" she said, smirking in that smug sort of way. She adjusted her tie just a bit, since it was off-center. Couldn't have that, now could we?

Here she was; standing in the Great Hall, back at Hogwarts. A small smile appeared on Silvia’s face as she glanced up at the familiar enchanted ceiling. After all the chaos on the train, she was especially looking forward to a good meal followed by bed. It seemed that she was among the first there. The Ravenclaw looked down the long tables, before stepping forward and taking a seat near the far end of her House’s table, close to where the sorting would take place, and from where she could get a good look at the new professors once they arrived. Strange things had already begun; she just hoped that the rest of the year would not be too hectic. As much as she would love an adventure, their main reason for being here was their education. The now empty owl cage (she had let Ptolemy out before entering the castle) had been dropped off in the dormitory. And hopefully, after what had happened with the train, the rest of her things would be delivered to her dormitory without too much delay. Now just to wait for the sorting to begin.

WHAT the heck was THAT all about? Addy had fallen asleep part way through the train ride and been roused to all kinds of chaos. SIGHS FOR LIFE. Hogwarts was ridiculous sometimes.

Heh.

Sidling into the Great Hall, which had since lost it's WONDER for her, she made a beeline for the Ravenclaw table and settled in next to Vickers. Turning she smiled and said, "This place is a bit too much sometimes, dude." Grumpapotamus FTW, yo. She didn't like to be woken up.

Seeing the other person she nodded casually in their direction. "I'm Jacks. Who are you?" Not to sound rude... but WHO ARE YOU?

His gaze swung away from the Staff table at the sound of another voice joining him. "Interesting indeed... never experienced a train breaking down in the middle of a trip before." he said with a shake of his head and a slight smirk. He can talk about it all lighthearted now, being back in the comforts of Hogwarts. "You got about alright though? No injuries? or damaged anything?" because it looked like total chaos at the platform."Oh yeah, my name is Vickers by the way." he said as he offered a handshake. Yup introductions, because although the young girl looked familiar, he doesnt remember her name....


Ah yes Addy has come around. He cocked his head up in greeting and gave her another smile "It was quite the hassle, then again we fairly got here on time despite the train issues..." which got him frowning a bit, what exactly caused the train to break down anyway?

He looked up and waved a "Hello Silvia" at the other Ravenclaw before doing a double take at Addy and her introduction at the other girl "Jacks?" trying not to snort here ".... just when were you called Jacks? Or is it more Jacques?" he quipped with the slight French intonation.

Jayden walked over to the table, running her hands through her hair anxiously. Gah. Where the heck was Jared? Oh well... moving on...

Elliot? Where was Elliot?


And then she spotted her.


"Hey Ell, thanks for DITCHING ME." She announced, giving Elliot a pointed look. Hopefully she would get the message. Jayden wasn't someone who liked to be ditched. "Can I sit down?" She asked politely.

Bah. Getting there on time was not what she was worried about. FROWNS AT YOU, VICKERS. "There was too much noise and people being panicky and stupid. Pffft." Yeah. She was not a fan. And she was tired and HUNGRY.

Narrowing her eyes a little at the BOY she shrugged. "Jacks... Jacklyn. Apparently my freckles bespeak whimsy and Jacks is more suitable. Got a problem with that?" He better NOT HAVE. She quite liked the nickname. It was better than admitting her name was Jacklyn Kennedy. I mean... that was mildly embarrassing.

"Anyway. How was your summer?" That was the MANDATORY question, yes?

Elliot shot a glare in the girl's direction. Ms. Grumpy-pants...although, Elliot didn't have room to talk, did she?

But she had a guys' name. SO she and Elliot had something in common. Elliot held out her hand, putting on her BEST smirk..."Elliot. Nice to meet another girl with a boys' name...finally.." yes, finally.

But Elliot loved her name...it quite suited her..."Fourth year..." she coughed a bit...

The blonde turned back to the boy.


YEs..she had been so close to his name! SCORE FOR ELLIOT! Elliot was super smart, though, so this wasn't shocking whatsoEVUH.

Elliot nodded at his question. "Yep. Not a huge fan of portkeys...and my trunk was heavy...I'm not used to that..." she shrugged. She wished she could take her house elf everywhere...because that would be awesome. "And I have to wonder WHY the train malfunctioned..." she scratched her chin a bit..

And then snorted. How in the world could MAGIC malfunction? IT was odd.

And oops, yes, introductions! "Vickers? What an oddity..." she commented bluntly, her icy blue eyes staring right into his, and then she blinked and extended her hand. "I'm Elliot...Elliot Morganzo...I've seen you around in class and stuff." Pfft. Yeah. And Elliot usually was quiet. Especially when certain annoying hufflepuffs were there.

Elliot whipped around, her blonde hair swinging with her swift movement. Sigh. Jayden. "You were going too slow for me, Jayden..." she scowled, she had no right to be annoyed with Elliot...hmph.

and could she sit down? "Nope...sorry...seats taken.." she said, super sarcastically to her friend...sending a smug smirk her way so that she would catch onto it...Jayden could be moody...but nowhere near as moody as Elliot.

Oh blah. So Elliot wanted to PLAY that game.

"Oh, alright. I guess I'll just go and find Jared..." She replied, mocking fake sadness. "OR. I could just sit on you!" She giggled, launching herself at Elliot.

Oh merlin. What would Elliot do?

Probably... hyperventilate.

Hehe.

"Good to meet you..... Elliot." he smiled as he shook her hand, trying not to look weirdly at her having a boy's name. Then again she did say something about his name being an oddity "Its named after a model airplane-- its a Muggle toy." In case she didnt know what a model airplane was. "My full name is Vincenzo... Vanderbilt." Not so strange sounding yeah?

And he watched Addy Jacks intro herself to Elliot, and the response the other Ravenclaw had. Another named after a boy? "Actually she's named after the.... " and he cuts himself off and presses his lips together in amusement. Should he tell herrrr little miss redhead?

And she be huffing at people were being stupid and panicky? "Well its expected Addy--Jacks... Addy..." guh its gonna take a while for him to get used to the nickname, specially he didnt think it fits her. Lessens the glamour of her red-hair. But yes back to the discussion "I'm pretty sure a lot of students havent had a train throw them about before, much less stop working completely and had to take a portkey-- which was probably a first time for a lot of kids too."

And speaking of WHY they had to portkey out "You'd think with the new Headmistress and the Board of Governors on board they would make sure the train would be working perfectly.... unless the train hit something and they had to get us all out of there.... lessen the witnesses and the chaos."

He looks at Elliot again "At least you got some of your luggage. Mine were all at the Luggage Car. I only had my pets with me when I portkeyed out. Good thing I had a spare uniform at the dorms" which he has outgrown a bit over the summer but hopefully the robes covered the difference.

And now Addy asks about his summer.... That got him to smile-- a rather giddy smile, quite uncharacteristic of him, before realizing this and tucking it back to his usual polite grin "It was great!... Good... I meant it was good." he mumbled as he scaled his reaction back then looked away, those memories were sure to show in his face and he was trying not to let it be obvious to these set of ladies. It would be... inappropriate yeah? Clears throat "How about your summer?" he deflects the attention to the girls around him. Yes do tell him about your summer so he doesnt have to delve into details with his.

Addy/Jacks watched the other girl with a deadpan stare as she was GLARED at. How RUDE! And then... "Um no. I don't have a man's name. My name is actually Jacklyn. I merely go by Addy OR Jacks." NOT a man's name. Neither of the two. Extending a hand, quite lazily at that, she said, "Jacklyn Addeline Kennedy at your service." No, not really. But yeah, that was her name. SNORT.

AND NO VICKERS. NO. Just. No. Addy/Jacks LOOKED at him and pressed her lips together. SIGHS FOR LIFE. "Yeah, yeah, if you MUST know I was named after one of the former First Ladies. Jackie O." THERE. That would make him happy, yes. Heh. She smiled slightly at him and rubbed at her eyes a bit.

Yeah. YEAH. YEAAAAAH. People freaked out sometimes and overreacted. It happened. THIS SHE KNEW. Nodding her head and shrugging at the same time she blew her fringe from her face impatiently. "Still. People are rude and pushy around here a lot, yeah?" Like WICKED rude and pushy. Hmph. And yeah she looked back and forth between Vickers and the other girl a fair bit as she spoke. Manners and all.

Summer? Well it had not been all she had hoped... "I got to go to Madrid for a little while. Family stuff, though." SHRUGS FOR LIFE. She would not get into that mess. She couldn't help but smile more genuinely as Vickers proclaimed he had had a great summer, though. "I am glad you had a blast and all." All she had done was a kiss a boy. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. No big deal.

Heh. Thinking of this made her blush ever so slightly and she caught herself looking around for Nathan...

Elliot shot her a VERY icy look. "If you sit on me...I swear...I will have to strangle you..." she growled, clearly not joking about this. Elliot needed her space...and she didn't WANT to be sat on...

How weird would that be?

Jayden always knew how to annoy Elliot..ALWAYS. UGH.



She heard the...PAUSE. Hiatus. Whatever...She raised an eyebrow at the older boy..."My name is unusual as well, as you have clearly thought..." she said, a bit drawling, but nothing majorly rude. Elliot was fiercely loyal to her name, though.

Airplanes? Muggle thing, right? Sort of like a bird? Merlin, Elliot was so clueless about muggles..."Why would your parents name you after a muggle contraption?" she asked curiously, tilting her head to the side...that was so STRANGE. Her father would NEVER! "Vicenzo sounds more regal," she commented casually...truthfully.

Always count on Elliot to be honest...with her opinions. On other things...well, Elliot could lie as well as breathe.

And then he...started to say something, then stopped. About this Jacks girl..that he called Addy? Elliot eyed her suspiciously...'Did you tell me a fake name?" she asked, a bit sharply...WHY?! Did Elliot look THAT intimidating? YES. Hmph. She didn't appreciate being LIED to, thank you very much!

Hmm...more discussion...and the new headmistress...Elliot glanced at the staff table..."She's a ginger..." she stated, quite obviously. "And she's wearing enormous heels..." also stating another obvious thing. But she could conclude MANY things from that one little fact. Ravenclaw, yo. Heels...like, reeeaaaally high ones, on the first night when she would have to do more walking than usual...

Can you say DIVA?

But these were only thoughts of Elliots'...and she looked back at Vickers. "No. I could barely control it. I'm tiny...I can't...do heavy lifting..." she scowled. And hey...WAIT A MINUTE.

VICKERS.

LOTTIE.

And her conversation from the train flooded back into her memory! She smirked. "You don't happen to know a very awesome little first year named Lottie, DO YOU?" she asked, and she gazed around the hall for the girl..hopefully she would be in Ravenclaw...how awesome would THAT be?!

STARE.

She merely stared at this Jacks girl.So not a fake name, then. All right..."Anything wrong with having a male name?" she asked, her tone a bit dangerous...for she sensed the other girl...WELL BAH!

SNORT.

And American. PAHAHAH! A smirk flickered onto her face..."Kennedy. Jacqueline Kennedy..." she said back, trying her hardest not to...seem weird about her being American.

IT's just that...Brits were so much better, no? YES.

Ariadne felt a bit awkward for not joining her housemates yet, but her best friend was a Ravenclaw and she had promised to join Gwen at her table and watch the sorting ceremony together. There would be plenty of time to spend with the Gryffindors later. Now...where WAS Gwen? They had parted soon after arriving in Hogsmeade via portkey-some mix-up with the carriages and whatnot. The fact was, Ariadne had lost her. But the good news-there was nowhere else Gwendolyn could be at this time,apart from the Ravenclaw house table.

The Sorting was about to start, so she'd better sit down quickly. Aww, here came the firsties. Ari was able to recognize Dylan, whom she had met during the train ride, better known as the boy who chased his cat ON TOP of the Hogwarts Expressed and was punished before setting foot in the castle. 'This one is bound to be a Gryffindor.' she said out loud to no one in particular. Soon enough, the Sorting Hat was going to prove her right. New talent, perhaps?

[QUOTE=kayquilz;11185526]Elliot shot her a VERY icy look. "If you sit on me...I swear...I will have to strangle you..." she growled, clearly not joking about this. Elliot needed her space...and she didn't WANT to be sat on...

How weird would that be?

Jayden always knew how to annoy Elliot..ALWAYS. UGH.

Ha. Mission accomplished: Annoying Elliot.

"So, you must tell me about this BOY." Jayden retorted, raising her voice a decibel.

Ha. Now to watch Elliot squirm... muahaha.

Gwen walked in the Great Hall, making her way quickly to the Ravenclaw house table. After all, this time Ari would be there, so she didn’t have to go look for her friend at the other tables. And the others… Well…She’ll have plenty of time to greet her friends from the other houses, right? Of course. Gwendolyn decided to head straight to the Ravenclaw table, and watch the sorting ceremony with her friend.

‘Hi, Elliot’, she greeted the first person she recognized at the table. ‘Had a good summer?’ Gwen had only seen her on Diagon Alley, but they didn’t get to talk much. Mehh. ‘Hello’, she greeted Vickers too, and then decided to go look for her friend. Hmm. Where was she? Gwendolyn gave a quick look around, eventually spotting Ariadne already waiting.


As she got closer to the Gryffindor, the fifth year could hear her friend guess the house of the firstie who was just being sorted. ‘Not bad’, Gwen mused, taking a seat at the table. ‘How about that one?’, she asked, smirking, as she looked at the first year who was heading to the sorting hat. Gwen eyed the person for a moment before drawing her attention back to Ariadne.

‘I hope you haven’t been waiting for long’ She wasn’t that late, was she? Still, Gwen felt a bit sorry for what happened at the carriages. They were probably going to go in one of the carriages together, but as soon as they got on the platform in Hogsmeade, she couldn’t spot Ari any longer.

Now.

In which one of the houses will that firstie be sorted?

He lifted his gaze and saw another familiar face join the table. "Hi Gwen." he greeted back then turned his attention back to Addy and Elliot....



.... just when his fellow Yank mentioned who she was named after.

The grin just got a little wider. Really she should be proud of it. Fits her well too, if only she wasnt insisting on the shortened form he might've actually gone ahead and kept calling her Jacklyn. Thing is she might do him the disfavor and call him Vincenzo... not that it was too bad but still...

Madrid.... "Madrid is a great place..." he murmured. Suddenly he was reminded of Rome-- when was the last time he visited his birth city? And Addy looked dreamy when talking about Madrid. Maybe he should schedule a European tour, during his gap year maybe...

And the rude!pushy discussion continues, with her last comment nearly getting him to laugh.out.LOUD "It was probably the situation... people's reactions under duress." he replied politely for the sake of present company and where they are, but he gave Addy!Jacks a knowing grin. Americans usually get the rap for being loud and pushy, under duress or otherwise. Its because you just cant put a muzzle on AWESOME. Of course he had always been aware of himself around Hogwarts, to keep that natural loudness in check. Again, Grandma's upbringing showing through...




Like right now.... something else popped into his head at Elliot's question and he took a couple of seconds to come up with a more palatable reply "|My mom didnt name me after a Muggle contraption-- I did, or rather, my friends called me that after I brought that model in for Show & Tell." yes his Mom, no reference whatsoever of the man who was supposed to be his deadbeat dad. Besides when he hears parents he thinks guardians and that would automatically be his Uncle and Grandma. But enough about him "What about you? How did you get named Elliot?" It was like a-boy-named-Sue situation, it was quite unusual.

Wait, she mentioned the awesome little First year "Lottie? Sure I do." he smile widens as he shifts his gaze at the pool of Firsties now gathering around the Sorting Hat "Lovely little girl, would be awesome if she gets sorted here." Although his natural affinity to Lottie wouldnt suffer much if she ever got sorted in a different house. He liked the kid, it almost like having a sister he never had.

And his gaze goes back to the Staff table, the Ginger!Headmistress now leading the congregation of important-y adults. Again he can feel himself slouch a little lower in shame and looked away. Seriously, how was he supposed to walk up there or anywhere and greet them with a guilt free conscience? Nope he's gonna have to slink around like a common criminal. Woe is he....

Was it just her or was this day longer than 24 hours? Wearing her full uniform, Louisa stepped into the Great Hall and directly headed for the Ravenclaw table. She had her hair tied into a tight high bun for the slight defect to be hidden until she figured out a potion or a spell to fix it. And no, she was not afraid of letting it flow onto her shoulders again, not at all. Her shoulders DID feel lighter than usual with nothing on them though, it wasn't usual for the seventeen years old to gather all of her hair up like that. She never liked it to be restrained and limited. But.. tough times call for tough measures.

"Hello. Everybody's doing okay?" she greeted the small crowd at the table recognizing Vickers, the girl that doesn't like candy (kayquilz) and her friend (HazelStone101), Gwen and Ari, Silvia and then the girl speaking to Vickers (Eriin). That last one was... interesting. Louisa kept looking at her coolly, trying to catch whatever they were talking about.

EH. Probably he was just making her feel comfy after all this hassle.

Louisa moved her attention to the rest of the empty table, no first years yet... Pity.

At least she was feeling better than she had been out in the creepy darkness, mhmm.

After mingling with her friends at the Slytherin table, she was now ready to do some catching up with her fellow housemates and of course, welcome warmly the first years. She knew how it feels like to be in a new environment and she should help make the firsties adjust to their surroundings. Hogwarts can be pretty tough when you're new.

While scanning for some familiar faces, she decided to go sit with Louisa. She heard she's the new Head Girl. The highest female student rank in Hogwarts was in their house. How cool was that?

"Hi! Congratulations on your badge, er, crown," she giggled. She was normally formal to Louisa. They never had that deep conversation before.

Soon enough, Gwen had arrived. Good, because Ari had been feeling a bit like an intruder, at a different house table than her own, by herself. Dork much?
'Dunno.' she smiled. 'That one was a lucky guess.' She had known Dylan before, so it was easier to guess his House. But the other firsties...'Why don't you try?' Ariadne winked. The next firstie had just been sorted into Ravenclaw, but Gwendolyn could perhaps guess the others?

She hadn't been waiting long at all. 'No, don't worry about it.' the Gryffindor waved it off and waited to see if Gwen's intuition was better than hers. Plenty of first years to go...

'You don't happen to have a piece of parchment on you?' What? Her friend liked to draw, so she just might.'We can both write our guesses.' Ari explained. They could turn this into a game.



The fifteen-year-old only interrupted her guessing game with Gwen when the Head Girl greeted everyone at the table. 'Hey, Louisa!' Ari greeted back. The Ravenclaw house table seemed like a second home to her. Though she was still proud to be a Gryffindor, she found herself often sitting with the Eagles. It was entirely Gwen's fault. Heh.

Ariadne couldn't help but notice that Louisa looked a bit more cheerful since she'd met her on the train, though tired. That was only natural, after all that they've been through. And probably Prefects had had more to deal with. 'Crazy day, wasn't it?' she asked, secretly wanting to find out if the Head Girl knew more about the whole train mess than the other students. 'Did you manage to get your cats to Hogsmeade?' Ari was referring especially to Viola. She would remember that cat for a long time.

Alex never thought she would be this glad to see the Great Hall. After that eventful train ride, it was wonderful to be back. Her stomach reminded her that she hadn't really eaten anything substantial in hours. She hoped that the two first years from the train had made it OK. Alex made a mental note to look for them during the feast.

She headed for the Ravenclaw table looking for an empty seat and searching for friends. Alex spotted Silvia and headed in her direction. The feast would not be the same without one of her very first friends at Hogwarts. She sat down in an empty seat and said,"Hi Silvia, glad to see you made it here in one piece." "How have you been?"

After her sorting, Anna went to her house table.

Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw. She need to find people wearing the blue color uniform. Oh there they're. "Food here I come" The red hair took a seat on an empty spot. Wait. Where's the food? After her very interesting ride with the Hogwarts express she need foods and a lot of it. Lets hope they won't serve foods with scary faces on it. Like fish. Yikes.

The new Ravenclaw saw another red hair sitting not so far away from her wearing a badge. It said Head Girl. The girl must know when the food is arrive, yes? "Hello, Miss Head Girl." Since she didn't know her name so she thought its polite to call her with that. "Do you know when the food will arrive?" Because her stomach is growling right now, lets hope the older girl didn't notice that.

Nigel was happy he was finally back at Hogwarts. After his some what boring summer. He walks to the Ravenclaw table in his new robes and his longer hair. He is growing hungry just thinking about the delicious food he will be eating soon.

When he runs to the table and he sees that it is all older students. He knew a couple of them from last year but thought he should know more of them.

"HI LOUISA, HI VICKERS, HI EVERYBODY" Nigel said when he finally reaches the table and stops running.

He was hungry, but was more happy to finally be back at Hogwarts.

Cassia left her seat and headed to the Ravenclaw's table. She wanted to see Gwen as she was supposed to meet up with the girl in her compartment but the train decided to stop then so they never did. Part of Cassia wished that she had been with Gwen when all that happened. But the other part liked it because Cassia freaked out a bit and that would have totally ruined the whole bigger second year act she had been trying to pull. Though Gwen already knew Cassia since her first days at Hogwarts lost and clueless. Well, but she wanted to change that impression

As she got to the Eagles' table. Cassia was grinning a toothy wide grin. Why? Because she can swear that the floor seems further! It means that she was already feeling the couple of centimeters she had grown during the summer. Pfffft..And her brother had said that it wasn’t noticeable! How else do explain the floor looking further from up here!


Breaking her stare with the floor and ending the awesomeness of a higher view! Cassia glanced at the faces trying to spot Gwen. After walking past a few students Cassia spotted her. "GWEN!" Cassia squeaked….Um too much..hopefully the eagles don't mind ear-splitting voices! And who was with Gwen, "And hey Ari!" Cassia waved at the two girls walking over to them.

Louisa's head snapped up, startled, at the slightly familiar voice, "Erin! Hi." Yeah, she was a bit jumpy after all the spooky fading lights and whatnot. "Yeah, it's pretty big. Thank you very much." She nodded managing a small smile. She did remember the girl from when she was a firstie, Enya used to bug her a lot and they ended being enemies; Erin and Enya, not Louisa. Because even if Louisa had a temper of her own, and even if she rarely allowed people to see the power of her emotions, she didn't take anyone as an enemy.

"How's your cat, by the way? Do you still have her? Does she still have my name?" She chuckled at the memory of this. Louisa had two cats to look after this term, too, so maybe they could form some kind of a big cat house in the common room? Yes?



The Ravenclaw waved at the Gryffindor and nodded, chuckling faintly. "Crazy have been all my years in Hogwarts, but this tops it all already." Her eyes moving from Ari to Gwen sitting nearby, "I didn't know you guys knew each other." They seemed to be pretty familiar with one another, almost like how she was with Enya a couple of years ago. Now.. the girl had graduated and traveled away to some art school. Sigh.

Her cats. "The man from the ministry said they all would take care of the pets," she said in somewhat an uncertain tone, "My smaller kitten was already asleep in the basket but I had to wrestle Viola in there and close it..." And by now, Ari probably had a pretty clear idea about what THAT could be like. Heh. "Sorry for the trouble back on the train, by the way. She's just an excited cat." Aaanyways, enough of Viola. "Do you have any overly excited pets?" Lame question, but they might as well chitchat until the food came here.



OHH! The first new 'claw. Louisa smirked, watching the younger girl making her way over to the table to take the seat opposite of herself. She seemed to be... looking for something. The seventeen years old instinctively followed the girl's eyes first down on the table and then to her chest. Errr... oh! Yeah. "Hello there. It's Louisa Carter, actually." Not Miss Head Girl. Ekh, titles. "Welcome to Ravenclaw first off! If you need anything, just find me." HMMM. Then Louisa would assign someone to help her coz she wasn't always in such a friendly nice welcoming mood, mind you.

Ahem. Anyways. Food. Yes, of course.

"The food will be here once the Headmistress gives her speech," she looked across the hall to where the staff table was. "Are you that hungry?" She cocked an eyebrow at the new 'claw.



Ooooh! Lookit! Tis her young buddy. Louisa's face beam a bit at the boy, "Hi, Nigel! Had a good summer?" Seriously, sitting here in such a crowded and huge hall make all your insecurities fade away. She didn't even pay attention to the some hair falling from her hair bun.



Louisa's attention went to the excited snake youngster. She knew the girl! And even if she didn't address her, the seventeen years old just smiled and waved at her.
