Well, that didn't sound like fun. "Well I'm glad you're okay now though." Portkeys, yeah, they took a little time to get used to. Silvia was also glad to hear that Awarlesta hadn't been hurt by the landing. "Good. I'll have to stop by the Hufflepuff table later and see how she's doing."



"Rather uneventful," Silvia responded to the older Claw. "I visited my grandparents, but otherwise we didn't do anything special." Nope, just a quiet relaxing break. "Though my parents are thinking about planning something for next summer if they aren't too busy." She really hoped so; it'd be nice to have something to look forward to for a change. "So how have you been lately?"

Silvia turned around when she heard a few squeaky voices passing along behind her.

House Elves!

"Hmm... I wonder what they could be doing out here?" she said. Not that there was anything wrong with them being in the Great Hall, it just wasn't often that they appeared during meals. And what was with the plants? And why were they bringing them out during the feast? If they were going to be decorating the Hall, shouldn't they have finished doing so before the students arrived? Maybe there was something else going on. Oh well. She gave them a small smile as they passed, a sort-of thanks for all the hard-work she knew they did around the castle.
