But the other part liked it because Cassia freaked out a bit and that would have totally ruined the whole bigger second year act she had been trying to pull. Though Gwen already knew Cassia since her first days at Hogwarts lost and clueless. Well, but she wanted to change that impression
As she got to the Eagles' table. Cassia was grinning a toothy wide grin. Why? Because she can swear that the floor seems further! It means that she was already feeling the couple of centimeters she had grown during the summer. Pfffft..And her brother had said that it wasn’t noticeable! How else do explain the floor looking further from up here!
Breaking her stare with the floor and ending the awesomeness of a higher view! Cassia glanced at the faces trying to spot Gwen. After walking past a few students Cassia spotted her. "GWEN!" Cassia squeaked….Um too much..hopefully the eagles don't mind ear-splitting voices! And who was with Gwen, "And hey Ari!" Cassia waved at the two girls walking over to them.
Gwen didn't have time to place any guesses before something else distracted the two girls. Someone else, better yet. It was the chatty second year Ari had met at King's Cross. She wondered briefly where the girl had gone to once they were on the train. Oh, well. They were here now.
'Hi, Cassia!' she greeted back cheerfully.
'
We were just about to start a game.' the Gryffindor announced, happy that another non-Ravenclaw had joined the table.
'It's called Guess the House.' She made the name up just then. '
We get points for guessing where each firstie is gonna be sorted. Did I forget anything?' she looked at Gwen. As you can see, the game is very complex...

Her eyes moving from Ari to Gwen sitting nearby, "I didn't know you guys knew each other." They seemed to be pretty familiar with one another, almost like how she was with Enya a couple of years ago. Now.. the girl had graduated and traveled away to some art school. Sigh.
Her cats. "The man from the ministry said they all would take care of the pets," she said in somewhat an uncertain tone, "My smaller kitten was already asleep in the basket but I had to wrestle Viola in there and close it..." And by now, Ari probably had a pretty clear idea about what THAT could be like. Heh. "Sorry for the trouble back on the train, by the way. She's just an excited cat." Aaanyways, enough of Viola. "Do you have any overly excited pets?" Lame question, but they might as well chitchat until the food came here.
That was true. Almost nothing could be classified as normal at Hogwarts, but never in the school's history, as far as Ari knew, had the Hogwarts Express broken down.
'Is everyone back here safely, as far as you know?' Portkeys were reliable enough, but with so many people, one can't help but wonder...
Her and Gwen?
'We've met on Diagon Alley before our first year here and have been best friends ever since.' Long time already. Not to mention that their parents had been friends at school as well.
'
I hope they'll be in the dorms by the time we go upstairs. I have one of my own, the big grey Pluto.' Fingers crossed. '
And it wasn't any trouble, really. I was just standing there idly, anyway. A bit of excitement never hurt anyone.' Ari chuckled.
'Also, Oakey had done most of the job for me.' Which made Ariadne indebted to the Hufflepuff boy.
