His da probably only would hear from him if he wrote his step-mother and asked her to give him a message, so Winston didn't really need to be particularly impressive, but he hoped that if he stayed on his best behavior and tried very hard to be the top of his class, his da might hear about it.

So. He better sit up even straighter. And chew with his mouth closed, also. Oh, this would be fun.

Winston pulled a smile to his face-sizeable enough to be noticeable, yet inconspicuous enough to seem sincere. There. Now he was ready to make friends and eat his supper and prepare for class.

Oh. Maybe he should have sat closer to the other students.

Brielle sat rigidly, looking around for anyone she may have met earlier. But no, all of them had been sorted to other houses. Sighing, she scooped food to her plate. Despite the shaking of her knees, though, she was happy she had been sorted to Ravenclaw, same as her mom. She smiled then, thinking of how proud her mother would have been.

A few other Claws smiled politely at her, all of them still unsure of what to do, just as she was. All she could do was smile back at them, already trying to guess who would soon be her friend.

Her gaze shifted to the side of the table. And that was when she noticed another boy, sitting as straight as her. Swallowing hard, she moved a bit closer to him. He was a first year too, and it seemed just the right time to make new friends.

"Hey there," she called out, catching his attention. "Nervous, too?" she grinned awkwardly.
