Her face lit up as she looked over at a girl that wasn't too far away. She gave her a wide, sheepish smile. "Yeah...I got a bit bored sitting in the same place waiting for a boring speech." Lex shrugged then extended her good hand to the girl. "I'm Alexa and you are?"
She felt that would have been a good start and the girl seemed nice enough so she wanted to try being friends with her...at the moment she didn't have many but she was hoping that would change as the term progressed.
Uh…Cassia almost saw herself last year at her first feast, bored and clueless! She had wondered what to do too. Though, she doesn't remember leaving her seat afraid that she'd get squashed by older students. She took a general quick glance at the girl noticing that Cassia was shorter than her last year. Luckily she had grown some centimeters over the summer. Cassia guessed that she now was the same height as the girl. He straightened a bit in a
vain attempt to look taller and bigger than the girl. You know she was a second year now!
Ahem..
Cassia nodded at her,
" I know the feast can be boring sometimes," She admitted a bit apologetically ,"
Especially before the food is served," She added glancing at the staff table. When was the headmistress making the speech the kids were hungry! They had just been through an epic turn of events! They ought to eat. Cassia shook her head at the thoughts…she really needs to stop speaking in her head!
Taking the girl's, Alexa's hand in hers Cassia grinned,
"Pleasure to meet you Alexa! I'm Cassia." Yay for meeting new friends.
"Second year Slytherin," She added just so she won't be mistaken for a first year..no offence but she had enough of the title last year "
You are a lioness," She stated glancing at the girl's tie.
"So how was your ride?" Cassia asked before remembering the sudden stop of the train and all. "
I mean the interrupted trip?" She giggled. "
Erm…usually that doesn’t happen you know, the train breaking down and that stuff." She felt suddenly responsible to say this in defense of the train! Not really the train..the school's reputation. New students should see the real perfect
Hogwarts.
Then she noticed that the headmistress had stood to speak and Cassia turned attention to the promised speech. The red-headed woman introduced the governors and the new faces and Cassia participated in the round of applause that greeted the important figures.
