And it had been his favorite since his first year of school.
Then he was being introduced to the first year. He raised his eyebrows at what Louisa said about his 'active eyebrows' - only proving the truth behind her words - and then turned his attention to the smaller girl. Lily. "Nice to meet you too, Lily," he said with a light chuckle as he shook her hand. "Welcome to Hogwarts." It seemed like his bad mood was starting to fade; he was able to actually be genuine as he welcome the girl to Hogwarts. Nice.
And - oh. The Headmaster's speech. And a house elf! Dallin felt himself grinning as the little thing talked. The baby hadn't been given a name yet? "We get to choose the name?" Maybe he hadn't heard right... or misunderstood. But that sounded fun! Quote:

Heh, it was funny how drastic people could change. The fifteen years old noticed the gleam in Lily's eyes, she supposed it was the mention of her old friends. Politely, the older girl busied herself with the food to give Lily some time. That was what Louisa would've wanted from people if she was swallowing tears back.
And it proved to be a success! Lily shook Dal's hand and was not blushing anymore. With a satisfied and rather smug smile Louisa nodded her head at Dallin, "Yes. Imagine that? We're to name the baby house elf that caused havoc last term." She scoffed. Turning her head to Lily, she explained briefly, "That is a house elf. Her name is Nimma and she, among others, is responsible of keeping Hogwarts clean and the students served well," beginning from the top here, "Last year, they found a baby house elf in the rubbish bins. Or so they said." Louisa shot a look at where Nimma had stood and made her speech, "The baby was... into antics and whatnot. But he's not scary." The fifth year student left out her desire to take him to a lab and inspect him and went on with her tale, "The students helped finding him when he got lost. And now the house elves are asking for our help once again." Which was... interesting. Tate had given them way too much liberty.
Sipping from her pumpkin juice, Louisa started scooping from her pudding when she suddenly turned her attention back to Dallin, "Where is Ellie?" HMM?
Lily smiled a quick smile as she shook Dallin's hand. "Thanks, I'm excited to be here."
and nervous she said.
Lily looked at Louisa as she explained about the creature(the house elf) that had spoken to them. As Lily learned of the baby house elf, her mind wandered to another elf
wow, I had only thought that elves were fairytale creatures, like santa's elves. I wonder what other kinds of creatures there are in this wizarding world. "Do you learn about these kinds of creatures in class?" She asked after Louisa told her about the mischief of the baby house elf. "and do you think there is going to be more trouble from the baby house elf?" Lily's mind wandered again but now to the request of the house elf.
I wonder what you would name a house elf... would it be a common name? she thought.
As Louisa began to talk to Dallin, Lily turned again to the food that filled the table. She took enough food to fill her up and began to eat.
