For those who belong in Slytherin House, on the right side of the Great Hall is where your table awaits. Green banners containing an embroidered silver snake float above the polished table in honour of the cunning Salazar Slytherin. Already placed on the tables are silver plates with accompanying cutlery and goblets. All that is missing right now are the mountains of food and pitchers containing your favourite beverages.

Though your stomach might be growing as you take a seat on one of the long benches next to the table, it is important to not get hangry -- gnawing your arm away or jabbing your fork repeatedly on the surface of the table will do no good whatsoever. Give everyone some time to get settled in and wait for Headmistress Hawthorne to deliver her speech. Keep yourself preoccupied by catching up with your fellow housemates or those who are visiting from the other tables until it is time to sink your teeth into the hearty and delicious meal prepared by the house-elves.

Zarina was hoping the food was here soon. She was starting to get antsy and hungry, like her stomach was rumbling non stop hungry. Zarina saw Flynn give her the nod and she smirked back but as she turned her head she couldn't help but give another eye roll. She wasn't going to talk to him much.

Now onto more important matters at hand. Their quidditch captain. Zarina needed to make a good impression that's for sure. Skylar is her name but I guess she liked to be called Sky? Zarina smiled at her and replied, "Yeah it has perks you can't find anywhere else. I mean what other stores have like floating candies and brooms in their windows?" If they had them in the muggle world that would be an issue. Well not an issue, they would get concerned looks. Maybe they would send them to a psychiatric ward. Now onto the question of do you play? Zae scoffed and replied, "Of course. I love being chaser or beater." She wouldn't mind hitting balls to people who deserve it. She did it with her cousins.

Now her attention was focused on Cameron. She saw him giving puppy dog eyes to Julie. She observed people very well. She observed him and Julie as she walked by. She smirked to herself and commented, "You got it bad for her huh?" he nodded her head towards where Julie walked by. She wasn't an idiot if he denied it, then he was a bigger idiot than she thought. Once she said her comment, she snorted at his reaction. He looked offended but he did give the right answer. "It just nice with a change that's all." Don't look sensitive bud. "Oh nothing really. Just helped my mom around the house with chores. I didn't go anywhere besides Diagon Alley for shopping. You could sayy my summer was boring." she shrugged. She followed his eyes and saw Zita and Derf kissing. She furrowed her brows confused.

The Fifth year saw Zarina was waving at her, she waved back and returned her smile. She made a note to hang out with the younger Slytherin later. Now, back to her partners in crime "Hi. Did you manage to sneak some food?" Because she's hungry and no speech from the Headmistress yet. Alyce noticed that Nathan attention was on Hufflepuff's table. She's too busy thinking about food and missed that kiss between Zita and Derf "Did I miss something?" She asked in a hushed voice.

So Skylar hasn't exactly decided on a price yet. That could be a good thing or bad thing. She wonder how much does used broom cost anyway? Is it more expensive than the new one? Probably not, right? "Let me know if you finally decided the price." Because she's interested to buy it.

Hearing a familiar voice address him after the proclamation that was just made, Aaron took his seat once again, and laid eyes on Alyce, one of the people he had met on the train ride to Hogwarts. "Pleasure seeing you again, as well!" Same old bright and brilliant smile beamed from the student's face.

And then a new face had joined the table. Another first year (Gunnar), just like himself. And more importantly, another person to explore with! Because if said person was a first year, they'd be spending the next seven years together, and in the same dorm too. So might as well be friends, right? Aaron glanced over at the new boy and said "Hiya! You must have missed my big introduction to the house, but, my name is Aaron. What's yours?" Young Aaron was just about to ask him another question when his attention got diverted else where.

This time, it was back towards Vivian, who seemed somewhat surprised by the first year's enthusiastic declaration to the table. Aaron never fully understood why people were so shocked about the level of the kid's energy. Have they never seen someone with that much positivity before? Did that mean a lot of the other students here at the school were more on the negative side? If so, Aaron Valentino was here to fix it. It was his duty to make sure to spread the positive and uplifting vibes through everyone, students, professors, house elves, and even the ghosts if they needed it!

Speaking of someone that needed some positive vibes...

Aaron had taken notice to Flynn's, somewhat, negative attitude. Whatever happened to Prefect's being nice and setting good examples by displaying positive energy only? The boy had thought to himself. "Well it's nice to meet you Flynn!" Replied Aaron, making sure to send extra happiness in his direction, also extending a hand for the older student to shake. The male prefect was basically the exact opposite of his counter part. She was all happy and greeting everyone...and then there was him. Pretty much the epitome of debby downers, but, overtime, Aaron would hopefully get to change that.

After all that, Aaron had realized the Bloody Baron
had leaned in closer and started grumbling in his ear. "Well, the first time my mum had met you, apparently you gave her quite the fright. She's a muggleborn, so she wasn't used to the magical beings of the world quite yet." Also not to mention, just the general looks of the ghost could scare a man to death, but that was besides the point. "On the other hand, my father told me that you weren't as scary as everyone portrayed you to be." Aaron had begun to explain to the Baron. "Oh he also said that if Peeves the Poltergeist was ever a problem, you'd be able to help?" The optimistic eleven year old had always wondered if that was true, so he couldn't help but ask when given the chance to.

The kid's mysterious gaze then reverted back to the Quidditch Captain's (Skylar) own eyes. Thank Merlin! She didn't ask all those questions like everyone else did. And then the comment was made about not being able to bring a broom unless he made the team, which, hopefully,
he would be able to make the team. It would be spectacular for a first year to make it onto the Quidditch Team, and it would show a lot of skill. But, he wondered something. "Hey, Skylar? What position do you think most people will be trying out for?" Because personally, Aaron had preferred to play Beater, but, he didn't mind playing as a Chaser either.

There really was no short supply of things to hold Gunnar's interest here in the Great Hall, even after he had waited to be sorted and finally reached his house table. He was still trying to come to terms with exactly where he had been sorted - not that he had a problem with being in Slytherin at all, it had just been unexpected, he'd suppose, considering that his parents had been in other houses. Plus, he noticed that Hudson had gotten sorted into Ravenclaw, and he had been hoping they'd get into the same house. But really, there was so much to look at and be in awe of. The enchanted ceiling, all of the students, the teachers at their own table, the ghosts...

Speaking of ghosts... Gunnar jumped slightly as a ghost (Bloody Baron) drifted right through him, sending ice-cold shivers up his spine. Wow. He knew ghosts existed and knew about the house ghosts here, but he had never seen one up close before, let alone had one go through him. He couldn't help but gape slightly at him for a moment, until the specter spoke. "Oh...! Thank you," he said once he found his voice, though he was still somewhat stunned. And... how did he know his name? He didn't really dwell on that thought for long though.

A voice calling to him redirected his attention and his eyes snapped to the older girl (Vivian) welcoming him, his eyes soon drifting to the badge pinned to her robes. Oh! She was a prefect! Gunnar knew what those were considering his parents had each been one, and he smiled in return for her words. She seemed nice. "Thanks! My name's Gunnar," he added since she had told him her name. He would have probably said more, or maybe asked a question, but she got up suddenly from the table. Huh... what was that about?

And again, another voice caught his attention and he turned to the older boy (Flynn) next to him. Another prefect, he noticed, as his eyes slipped to the badge. But this one did not seem nearly as welcoming as Vivian. "It was the first open spot I saw," he said with a shrug. If there were assigned seats, he sure didn't know about them. How could he? He just got here. Besides, no one else seemed bothered with where anyone was sitting. And to be quite honest, yes, he would rather sit next to someone his age - like that boy just down the table from him (Wolfie). He looked like he might be a first year too and Gunnar gave him a small but friendly smile.

It was nice that most people at the table were fairly welcoming, especially as he was starting to feel overwhelmed and sorely wishing his sister was sitting next to him. Gunnar was the oldest and used to taking charge with his siblings, but he felt really small right now. It was kind of a weird feeling for the boy, but he tried to push it away as he heard someone (Patrick) calling his name. How did he...? Oh, Gunnar realized he must have heard his name when he got sorted and it was announced. "Hi... thanks!" he said with a somewhat bigger smile than he had before. "Um... it's a lot," he admitted with a shrug. Not in a bad way, necessarily. It just was. "What's your name?" Since he already knew Gunnar's... and he figured though he likely wasn't a first year, he wasn't too far off in age.

His eyes fell on another girl's badge as she welcomed his as well. But not a prefect. "Oh! Are you the Quidditch captain?" he blurted out before saying anything else. "I mean, thanks!" he added with a little laugh. "My name's Gunnar. Nice to meet you, Skylar." She seemed really nice. And he had heard from his aunt that Quidditch was going to be played at Hogwarts again this year, not that he understood why it hadn't been for a long time.

He turned when another boy (Aaron) his age, a really friendly one, caught his attention. Oh... were they all supposed to make an introduction to the table? Because yeah, Gunnar was not doing that. He would assume that this boy was a first year also since he seemed to be about his age, plus he was pretty sure he saw him in the sorting group. And why else would he make such an introduction if he were not new to everyone? But he seemed pretty cool and Gunnar grinned at him in return. "Hey, Aaron... My name's Gunnar. You're a first year, too?" Because they'd be roommates for the next seven years and he might as well get to know him now.

Turning his head to the staff table, Gunnar looked up as one of the ladies -the Headmistress - began talking. He didn't know any of the names as she pointed people out, but he politely applauded as others did. But even better... when she was done talking, there was suddenly food on the table! Finally! Feeling like he was starving, Gunnar helped himself to as much food as he could manage.

Perfect timing.

Felicity slipped into the Great Hall just as the Sorting ended and the Headmistresses speech began. For a moment, she contemplated sitting with Harriet at the Hufflepuff table, but then shook that thought off as her feet automatically carried her towards the green and silver: she'd feel weird changing direction. Speaking of weird, would it be strange of her to sit alone? Or, at least, as alone as was possible to at the Feast. She inwardly sighed as she realised, even if her friends weren't missing her, per se, (and honestly, why would they?) Flynn had saved her a seat, and so with a little warmth spreading through her chest at the sight of her boyfriend, she slipped onto the bench next to him.

Within a few moments the food had appeared, and, contrary to the growling her stomach had been doing just before she entered the Hall, Felicity began to pick at it disinterestedly.

Patrick looked across the table at Gunnar, he knew that look all too well. It was the exact same one he had when he was sitting at the table last fall. “Oh, sorry Gunnar, names Patrick. I’m a Second year.” he couldn’t believe he had actually lived. He was terrified that he was going to be one of the few students who had died during the term, and of all places in class. He still was happy to be back though amongst his friends as well.
