"Oh I like playing Quidditch too but I don't play very often because Daddy has work and Amanda's too stupid to fly a broom...that and I don't have any siblings." Not that she wanted any. That just meant having to share her father's love and attention. When she came to such things she found it hard to play well with others.
"But I really just like looking for adventure and stuff!" Quote:

Emmaleigh nodded. “Yeah, there was a few people helping, but I’m not sure who your friends are.” She didn’t know these Abby and Vivi people, but if they had been helping, they had her gratitude. The red head was so not happy with those that just ran off when they could have helped. “The boats were the best place for you and the rest of the first years. It kept you from getting squashed by falling students.” And she couldn’t even imagine what would have happened if one of them had tried copying a spell that they had seen. “I think so, at least those who were seriously injured and some that weren’t. I patched up some that just had some scrapes, but I’m sure there are others that were injured that just left, maybe planning on seeing the healer later or something.” The girl wasn’t the least bit surprised to hear that Dylan had been sorted into Gryffindor. He had been pretty bold when he had asked what she had against firsties. But hearing that the other girl was a claw was a bit surprising. Though, the hat did seem to know thing better than anyone.
“What will you eat? The feast is about to start, and I promise, you won’t go hungry.” If she ate like Em did at the feast, she wouldn’t feel like eating for the next day or two.
Lex nodded with a wide smile when Emm said the hat would taste good.
"Yup, I'm sure it will, especially since I plan to dip it in a cauldron of gravy and let it swim around for a little, you know, just to teach it a lesson then I'm really gonna show it why it shouldn't have gone against what I said." Ahhh, one way or another the hat would learn.
"Hmm...really? That's too bad. You should meet them, they're really nice!" Well...er...one of them was really nice. That had to count for something right? She made a face at her for saying that the boats would have been the best place for them. That may have been true but she still wouldn't agree because on the journey over she hadn't seen the giant squid and she hadn't seen any mermaids so she might as well had stayed and helped out.
"Yeah, other people are saying that too but I don't think I could have gotten hurt any worse." She said, gesturing to her wrist that had started changing colour--but only slightly and there was
nothing wrong with it she
wouldn't have to go see the healer!
She beamed up at her suddenly.
"It was nice of you to stay behind and help. I heard that some older kids were trying to walk away." Yet another reason to not like older kids, ugh.
Oh yes the feast!
"Ummmm I don't know what Ill eat just yet but i know I wanna try everything." She smiled at the thought of having all the yummy food but couldn't ignore the slight feeling of nausea that came with it. It must have been from all the candy....

"You clearly haven't seen the pufferfish! They're scary! I don't have the spikes but I can do the puff bit." In true dork fashion, Dorian puffed out his cheeks performing the worlds least convincing puffer-fish impersonation.
Hm. So the 'puffs were too nice and got roped into things. Being nice wasn't the worst trait to have, but if it meant death... nah. Surely the teachers would look out for him, and others for that matter, if he started getting 'too nice', wouldn't they? He would help if a friend asked him to.... He made a mental note to not agree to do anything dangerous.
He had seen Alexa talking to students on the other tables earlier and considered doing the same. Houses seemed a whole lot more complicated then they did when he was getting sorted.
"Are you happy to be a Gryffindor?" He asked, hoping to find out more about the house from his new friend.
See? Even he thought the name was pretty silly. There was no way that she was going to let anyone with the word puffer attached scare her. Nope; it just wasn't possible!
Alexa burst into wild laughter when the boy puff out his cheeks after mentioning something about pufferfishes. After a while the laughter toned down and became little giggles.
"I don't think that will help either, in fact I think adding the word fish just makes it sillier...you sound like a rare Japanese delicacy, not a threat." She shook her head. This was clearly why they were targeted...in a good way though. They drew people with their funniness.
She blinked twice, wondering if he was being serious. He couldn't have been but she would humour him by answering and she would even do it with a smile.
"Of course I'm glad! I'm a Gryffie and proud! ROOOOAAARRRR!" yeah she had to add that last part because she was pretty proud of being a lion.
"And so I guess we're pretty much happy with where we've been placed, yes?" It seemed that way.
"So have you started talking to other students as yet?" She asked curiously with a wide smile.
