FINALLY.

FINALLY, the feast was over.

Not that they weren't tasty, but João had never been too fond of foreign food, let alone the pathetic British cuisine, and at this feast, he also had to be careful not to look at her. No wonder she was snuggling that scumbag of Adam.

Moving on.

Being one of the first people to arrive at the common room, the Brazilian just threw himself to one of the coaches in front of the fire and watched the flames, thinking nothing. He wasn't even sleepy, so he could as well just sit here and do nothing.

Selena held the sleeping cruppy in her arms with the purple pygmy puff on her head as she walked into the common room. Finally the feast was over and Selena was properly stuffed. With pie. And cake. And ice cream. And honestly, all she had really cared about was the dessert. Who cared about the main course when you could have like... pudding? And pie? And cake? And ice cream? No one. Unless you were like a health freak, then it made sense to worry about it. Selena hummed and looked around at the common room. It was definitely like home.

"HAAAAAAAIIII!" she called out to everyone there - even if there weren't many people.

Ah, Slytherins... so lovely, so nice. She loved this house. "Hellooooo my favorite couch!" Selena exclaimed, beaming before seating herself down on it, placing the cruppy on her lap and just relaxing. She lifted a hand to wave at the male Slytherin there (João) before lowering to pet her cruppy's head.

Angelina was glade to be back at Hogwarts. Even is she was still in the young group, she couldn't believe third year has arrived, but wait until she got to the last couple years of school.

When walking into the common room she found it to be empty except for two other, one she never seen before, and the head girl Selena. When Selena said hi to everybody that was in the room, Angelina smiled. "hey," she said quietly. She knew who all the prefects, heads and all they were, but she never talked to them. They were way older than her, and it scared her when she first started at Hogwarts.

Angelina watched Selena sit down and relax on the couch nearby, from what she said, it was her favorite couch. As usual Angelina went and sat down in an empty chair keeping quiet until she saw some friends come in.

So, is this the Slytherin common room? Luckily the canadian blondie didn't get lost. But why was the location in the dungeons? Ah, no wonder. But he looked amazed with the common room. Soo.. comfy and warm. It looked nice. He noticed that there were some people around and no one that he knew. Sigh, where was Zhenya? He thought that the girl came here first. EEEEEEPPPP... Why should he think about her again? But he noticed there was the little Head Girl.

"Hello, Head Girl!" said him and smirked. Well, he didn't know her name yet. Then he took an apple from his bag and bit it, then he sat at an empty seat. He didn't want to go to the dorm first, because he wasn't sleppy yet.

Selena saw a girl who was quiet. Why was the girl quiet? Was the girl not happy to be back at Hogwarts?! Well, Selena would take it upon herself to MAKE the girl not quiet. "HAI!" Selena beamed, waving at the girl. "I'm Selena Zabini-Riddle, future ruler of the universe, but for now, I'm Head Girl," she said, smiling before returning to pet her cruppy who had opened his lazy eyes. OH LOOK. Clarke was awake. Kent was still sitting on her head.

Selena noticed the next person who walked in. "Heeeellooooooo New GUY!" Selena beamed, waving at him. She'd come up with a fruit nickname for him later. He couldn't be apple though, even though he was eating one. Apple was Sierra's nickname. So... he couldn't have it.

"You're new so I'm going to tell you ALL about the Slytherin house - it's awesome. This seat here is my seat. You can't have it. We're all cool kids. Slytherin is cool."

See, Selena was such an informative person.

Angelina looked up at Selena and smiled wide, "Hi, Its nice to meet you!" SHe hoped she wasn't too quiet today. She got up very early so she was very tired. If she got enough sleep she would be nothing like she was at the moment. Waving back she said to the head girl, "I'm Angelina Andrews, third year." Whenever she said her year to someone much older than her it seemed a bit weird to her at first, but now she could care less.

Renee barely paid any attention to whatever happened at the feast. Barely. Yet it seemed that almost everybody's feeling pretty cheery, yelling around the common room and all. She looked around, well, it's always like that the first few days of a new term. She sighed and reached for an armchair nearest to her. With another sigh, the Slytherin sat down.

Not necessarily being in the corner of the room, Renee pulled a notebook, a quill and a bottle of ink, and began scribbling down her to-do list for the next day. She's very organized, never spontaneous, and she'd hate to have the tiniest ink spill on her bed sheet. That's the only reason she would even stay in the common room. Once she's done she'll head to her room straight away and be invisible.

All the while she hoped nobody will shout at her as a greeting.

When Emmanuelle first stepped into the common room, she had to have a look around. Of course she did, she was new after all. What she saw impressed her. The room was very posh looking. She liked that. After her inspection, she flopped down in one of the chairs, legs thrown over one of arms. She looked around at her surroundings and noticed that very few people had arrived from the feast yet. She decided to introduce herself to her fellow occupants anyway. After all, she could catch everyone else latter. "Hello, everyone! My name is Emmanuelle Moreau. What's you guy's? There, that sounds like a good enough introduction to her if they wanted to know more, they could just ask. She blushed slightly when she looked around again and realized that she might have interrupted some other conversations that had already started. Oops. Oh well, it had to happen sometime this year. Best to get that particular embarrassment over with early.

Slytherin common room. Interesting. The seats and couches were comfortable but they didn't have those big, ginormous arm chairs that they had at her old school. Maybe because this wasn't a private school. Maybe. Hogwarts was cool besides the bit were they had pumpkin juice (Eww!) It was probably the best bit of the UK because everywhere else it was just weird and no one was loud.

As she took a seat on what she though was comfortable seat she spotted the head girl. She saw her at the platform before the train. She had a pygmy puff on her head the last time she saw her and she was short. She also didn't like cats. That was good because Liesel was allergic to them. Maybe she could say something. Why not? "Hey Head girl!" she exclaimed. "And why don't you like cats?" she asked.

"Okay." said him cool. The blonde guy just bit his apple, not too pay attention to the little Head Girl. Hfftt.. And did she say.. New Guy? Oh, he hadn't introduce himself, right? Then he stood up, cleared his throat and extended his hand. "Well, I'm Gary Rush. Fifth year." said him cool. "And I'm glad to be in this house." he nodded.

Ariana Skipped into the Common room :Helllloooooo." she said rather cheery and sat by the fireplace on the floor

Addie walked into her new common room after depositing her stuff in her dorm. She saw a small group of people sitting down there. Addie walked over to a chair and sat down pulling chocolate out of her bag. "Hi Head Girl...other people I don't know," she said cheerfully as she ate her chocolate. I'm Adelaide Coral. Addie the short person. I'm in my fifth year even though I look like a first year because I'm four feet four inches tall." Addie was so excited for the year to start.

Zhenya entered the Common Room.

"AHH," she said loudly, so glad to be back. It felt like home in there. It was incredible, and she was so happy.

She saw Angelina, and went to sit down next to her; "Hey, how was your summer?" she asked, and pulled out some chocolate biscuits.

Aurora walked into the common room, deciding not to let a stupid argument ruin her first moments back in Hogwarts. She stood just inside the door and watched the new students for a second, before grinning widely - she had definitely missed this. "Hi everyone! I hope you're all gonna win us back the cups this term!"

Then she gave Selena a little wave, "Congrats on the headgirlship." and went to sit by the fire in HER seat. Which, luckily, nobody had tried to claim yet.

Mmmm, hello Hogwarts... she thought as she sank into the chair. She lifted her feet up and rested them on the arm, oh yes. Very comfortable. She lay back, putting her hands behind her head with a contented smile on her face. Something about this year was going to be good. It had to be.

She sat down quite comfortably and sat down on a really comfy looking couch. Ah. It was super comfortable. Being in Slytherin was awesome. Though she didn't really know how she got into Slytherin. Was she cunning? Was she? She didn't think so but maybe a bit ambitious but not MEAN. She hoped she wasn't but she did find it amusing in a way. Just not when it happened to her.

Hmm. Maybe she needed to be more cunning? The girl who just looked like she could teach her seemed good. "Hi! Slyhterin is awesome but I really lacking on cunningness." she said to the girl. PLEASE HELP!

Selena liked that smile. She liked it when people smile, it was definitely more interesting than non-smiling people. Her cruppy jumped off of her lap and started to walk off somewhere; perhaps Selena ought to look for the cruppy, but Clarke was smart. He'd find his way to the girl dormitories. "Haaaaiii Angelina!" she chirped. Now, what fruit was like Angelina? "Aren't you excited to be back at Hogwarts?" she asked as Clarke walked towards another armchair.

Selena noticed her cruppy sniffing someone's foot. Why was her cruppy sniffing someone? Selena also noted the two tails of her cruppy wagging. "HAAAAIIII YOU THEREEEEEEEEEE," Selena called out to the girl. Because Selena knew what the cruppy wanted to do. "Keep your feet off of the ground!" Unless the girl wanted Clarke to chew on her shoes, then that was a whole different thing.

Selena turned her head when she heard someone introduce themselves. Loudly. Selena liked that too. "HAAAAAIIII EMMMMMMMAAAANUUUOOOOOOUUULLLLEEEEEYYYYY" Selena shouted back. That was how you said the name right? Because it was awfully long and Selena didn't like long names. It'd be okay though because she'd just give the girl a fruit nickname later as wel.

Selena knew this girl from somewhere. Selena just didn't know where. Selena also knew this girl was new so she beamed at the girl, just giving a quick glance to Clarke and pet the pygmy puff still on her head as she smiled at her. "Haaaaiii new kid!" she exclaimed right back at her. Why didn't Selena like cats? That was a very good question.

"They like to eat pygmy puffs."

Simple answer really.

Selena looked at the hand, at the kid then shook it. "Well, Gary Rush," Selena started, not liking how tall he looked when he stood, "I'm Selena Zabini-Riddle, Seventh Year, awesometastical and future ruler of this universe and all others," she said, smirking. And he ought to be glad to be in this house, this was the epic house of epicaltasticalness. No other house could beat this house. That very thought was insane.

. . . and now that she saw how tall he really was...

"Do you give piggyback rides?" Because TallPerson had never given her one and she wanted a piggyback ride. They looked like fun.

Happy girl. Selena liked happiness!! "HELLOOO!" Selena replied cheerfully.

Selena looked at the next girl to come in who greeted her. And the girl was short. Just like her. "Hellooooo newbie!" Selena exclaimed, smiling. The four feet, six inches tall Slytherin FELT for the other girl. Though being short was nothing bad; Selena like it... though she wouldn't mind being a little taller. She wasn't asking for much. Just like... two or three more inches. Plus the girl was eating chocolate... it was like Selena was looking at a reflection of herself from her fifth year.

"Thank you!" Selena beamed, waving back. She didn't like the girl's bossiness though. It was Selena's job. This girl was stealing her job. She didn't like. She didn't even know who the girl was so... double dislike.

Aurora had closed her eyes for a moment and was revelling in the comfort and familiarity of the common room when someone talked to her. She jumped a little and blinked as some girl was talking to her... Hang on... Wasn't that the girl she had walked into in Diagon Alley..?

Cunning? What? "Oh... Well... Learn?" she said, yawning slightly. "The sorting hat is never wrong..." So she must be a bit cunning... Right? To be honest she didn't really care much - all she wanted right now was to talk to Kennedy, see Kimalia, avoid Jonathan and go to BED!!!

The blonde guy still bit his apple and smirked. "Well, nice to meet you." said him short. Err.. Actually he still didn't believe that the girl was HEAD GIRL and Seventh year.

Actually, how tall was she? I think Bianca, who was his seven-year old cousin was quiet taller than her.

Then he sat again at his seat and keep eating his apple. Maybe he need to steal more apples at Slytherin table. Better to eat more apples than sweets, because it's more healthy. And Gary Rush never liked sweets.

EEEEPPP?? WHATDIDSHESAIDBEFORE? PIGGYBACK RIDE? He slightly frowned at her. He would never give her piggyback riding to the girls, except Bianca maybe. Besides that, he had serious injury at his left shoulder.

"No." said him short and cold. Then he took another apple from his bag and started eating it.

Adarian marveled at the Slytherin common room. How did he get lucky enough to be in here for 7 years. "This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!" He had never seen anything like this in the States. The feast had been fun and he had made some friend and was looking forward to making more. His pale eyes looked over the people in the common room already, no sign of Ellowyn. Maybe she wasn't out of her dorm yet. He settle on a couch and sighed in bliss. Class would be going on soon but for now relaxation. Adarian also wanted to watch the Quidditch tryouts and to see what he had to do to eventually get on the House team since that was his dream.

Renee nearly poked a hole on her brand new notebook with the quill she was holding. Her to-do list had extended on and on, providing her a week's schedule to the smallest bits possible. She was just about to continue adding whatever that came to her mind during the writing process, but something interrupted her. A crup? and a cute one, too. Then along came a cute voice. Saying hi. Renee knew this voice too well to ask herself whom it might be. She rose from her armchair and decided to show some respect.

"Hello, head girl." her smile was once again absent, but she knew her expression would suffice. The girl was heavily occupied anyway, greeting everyone and all. She then returned to her previous position, with the crup trying to chew on her right shoe. Renee wouldn't mind if the crup had been a stray, but for the sake of its owner, no foreign objects should enter the cute little creature's digestive system. She'd be one to blame if anything funny happens. Giving a tiny little pat on the crup's head, Renee whispered, "go back to your master."

Asher bounced happily into the Slytherin common room. It wasn't the fact that he didn't have a great summer which he did. He loved Hogwarts so much. And his friends here. The common room was one of his favorite places in the world. He loved his big fluffy chair in the corner by the stairs to the dorms. Eyeing his, he ran over to it. and Shouted "Home, Sweet, Home". And drove!flopped into the chair.

Yep there he was a King apon his fluffy thorne.

His mission to make his second year here was starting out wonderfully and quit comfortably.

As João was sitting there in peace, being the FIRST person to arrive the common room, he sighed and closed his eyes when people started to come in after short time. It wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't shout. Still, he didn't say anything. They were just a little bit more excited than he was. Maybe he should be excited too, if he had a few... acquaintances.

Acquaintances. He'd make some of them tonight.

Getting up, he approached this girl who had just introduced herself. Holding his hand out ot shake, he smiled charmingly. He was VERY good at that.

"Hello Emmanuelle, I'm Marcelo," he said, picking his easier name so that she could pronounce it. "I didn't see you around last term." Not that he had been there around all the time, but still.

The blonde walked happily into the Slytherin common room. She smiled once she was in the dimly lighted room. "Hello everyone, great to be back isn't it? I'm Chelsea by the way" good introduction right? Besides, where better to meet some more people than her own house? The blonde walked over to one of the large comfy couches and plopped down on it. So far third year was starting out perfectly, she was defiantly getting more involved this year.

Wait the awesome head girl didn't like cats because the eat Pygmy puffs??? "I have a cat, but she would never eat a Pygmy puff. My sister has a Pygmy puff. Mitten's is its friend.". The head got laws to awesome to not like Mittens.

Wait a minute. The head girl was short. Just like Addie.
"Wow! Another short person! AWESOME!" Addie exclaimed. "Do you like chocolate and climbing and talking?" Addie began to list stuff she liked. Wait...what was her name? "Also, I didn't get your name. What's your name?". Addie asked bouncing on her chair.

Then more people came into the to the room. Sierra was wrong, these people were awesome and friendly. Especially the Head Girl. "Hi Chelsea and comfy chair guy." she said to the people in the room.
