She rushed up behind him and draped her arms across his shoulders giving him a bit of a hug. "Congratulations, Lion." she said happily.

SQUEE! Jake was a Gryffindor!

She helped herself to the seat next to him. "Hey." she said nodding to both Tag and Alice. "Penne. Hey!" she added spotting Penelope. She gave the younger girl a little wave.

Squee! Had she mentioned how excited she was yet?

And this was why.

Had this been a few weeks ago, Penelope would've been extremely happy that Jake was a Gryffindor. On some level, she still was. Because it was nice having more friends in her house. But that was also the problem. They were just friends, and now she had to deal even more with seeing him be more than friends with one of HER friends. And that wasn't something she could be happy about.

So she gave a half-hearted, "That's cool," to Jake, averted her eyes elsewhere when Anya suddenly appeared and clung to him, waved back at Anya when she finally acknowledged her, and prayed the speech would happen soon so she could have food to distract her from everything else.


Feeling and seeing arms around him, Jake grinned. He knew who that was even before she said anything. Because, really... he didn't know anybody else well enough to have them walk up behind him and hug him. Penelope and Alice were both sitting right there.

"Hey, Anya," he grinned, turning toward her as she sat down next to him. "I'm a Gryffindor!" She already knew that, but he just had to say it again. For the 29502395th time. "Just like you. How great is that?!"

...Clearly not that great, according to some people.

Jake's grin instantly disappeared, and he looked over at Penelope. "Thanks for the enthusiasm, Penny." Yeah, he could practically feel her excitement.

He was excited, at least.

Oh. And... "Looks like we'll share a dormitory, eh, Tag?"
