Glad she heard it, Addy leaned around Vivi and smiled sweetly at Lex. She would only get whacked with a newspaper if she was REALLY poorly behaved. HEHEH.
Finger wiggles for you, Lex.

When it was clear Lex was safe, though, she glanced back at Max and Louisa again, and her voice dropped to respond to Jacks. "I don't mind crazy. It's more interesting that way. It's why I have high hopes for Annie... I mean for Headmistress Truebridge. She's got a crazy glint to her eyes, you know?" And... that was entirely unrelated to her hair.
SIGHS. Okay. No newspaper whacking of the first year. She was awfully cute, that one. Like a pet. "
Just a suggestion." SWEET SMILES.
Annie? So the President's daughter knew the Headmistress personally. Yes, Jacks had long since made that connection, but she wasn't going to treat Vivi any differently. Nope, nope. Jacks shifted her eyes toward the staff table and tilted her head to one side. "
I am getting used to the crazy. I bet she'll be great." SHE WAS A GINGER AND THAT COULDN'T BE A BAD THING. Hehe.

And he still didn't have his cookies from Kurumi yet. He still wanted them, and no, he did not care what the Aparecium said.
"Finally," he muttered when the speech ended and the food was miraculously before them. Milton snapped out of his daze and scooped some food onto his plate.
Um HELLO person with a badge. A very handsome person with a badge at that... Addy batted her eyelashes and sighed a bit before turning to Beezus with a smile.

She was still curious as to what really happened though, why the train stopped, what caused it, and why the Ministry seemed to have foreseen the incident, considering they were ever so ready with the alternative and all
OF COURSE it was nice to see her. HEHEH. "
Oh I am sorry to hear that, Beezus. Maybe you will get to have grand adventures soon," she said with a giggle. Or she could hide her grandmother's cane and run off. Clearly Addy was not the person to ask for advice on that matter...
Train ride. "
I am appalled by that train ride actually." HMPH.

He should do the same the other way around "Uhm yes Louisa.... this is Genevieve Branxton, newly transferred from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic and President Rae-Branxton's daughter."
Vickers. OH VICKERS. Jacks picked her fork up and made a stabby motion toward him when he gave her a LOOK. No looking at me like that, sir. Eyeball stabbing will commence if so.

Why would Addy mention her? And byt he looks of of it .. it wasn't a pleasant mention either.
"Are you mad at me about something?"
Addy shrugged... she didn't know her name. She didn't CARE. Averting her eyes she just... kind of didn't answer. And he seemed to slap that label "friend" on a lot of girls... hand holding and kissing and such didn't equate to FRIENDS.
"
Why would I be mad with you?" she asked as she looked him in the face, finally. She would just... let it go. She had been silly to think a boy like Nathan would be interested in a silly old ging like her.
Waving a hand she shook her head. "
No, no. It's fine. There's nothing going on. You should go to your friend, though. I am going to grab some food."

"Yes, that makes total sense," he nodded while chowing down on some chicken. Of course, he had no idea what they were talking about anymore but he had to pretend he know. You know. MANLY AND ALL.
"Wait....no you did. You said, and I quote, 'Oh, plumber.' I was just curious." Hmph! These Hogwarts kids were WEEEIIRRDDDD.
Speaking of plumbing though, he was really starting to realize how cold and wet he was and...well.....he'd have to pee soon. But there was still SO MUCH FOOD to eat!
He stood up on the bench to reach across the table (no excuse me, of course; they were ALL IN HIS WAY). As he was trying to get his hands on some shepherd's pie, his hand bumped into another student's - an older boy's. WAS THIS...FOOL TRYING TO TAKE HIS FOOD? Oh. Uh-uh.
"THAT IS MY PIECE," he yelped.
What was... that smell? Ew. Was someone in need of deodorant? BLEGH!
And... it was clear that Addy had found a new first year pet. LOOK AT HIM. He agreed with her and stuff. PRESH! Addy approved of this one. She even offered him some pudding with a smile. SHe could call this one Rover.
OH! And he was getting shouty with the Captain. BAD ROVER!
Text Cut: Louisa HEHEHE

And what an interesting friendly way this girl took this staring spree like, this was such a BAD thing. Because it meant 1) the girl must know she was pretty enough to be stared at 2) she'd already been in this situation before and 3) she wasn't one of them explosive girls who'd snap at every possible moment, which means she COULD be a good girl. That's very
very bad.
Louisa's mind took a rest and her thoughts slowed down as she was introduced by Max, the Ravenclaw girl offered a small smile and was about to speak when Vickers introduced the, wait for it, BRAE-BRANXTON's daughter. That made the seventeen years old blink and straighten up more, surprised. Just her luck! BAD luck because 1) she can't compete with someone who comes from such a great family background 2) she promised to make the girl feel welcomed AND 3) Vickers was obviously her friend outside school which definitely mean BEFORE he knew Louisa.
Okay, deep breath and no more lists.
"
Oh, hi. I've met your mom on the train," she wasn't going to mention that special favor. That... could be used later when Louisa got to know the girl more. "
Sorry I was staring, by the way, I was just trying to remember if I saw you before or not. I must've missed your sorting." Not that her tone was apologetic, but it was friendly enough. "
So..umm.. welcome to Ravenclaw and... uhh... you can talk to me whenever you need something or want to ask about someon-- I mean, some place. This.. castle is very... lost-able." Could the headmistress please stand up nooooooooow?
THANKYOU.
Louisa relaxed next to Max as the headmistress started her speech, introducing the school to the Board of Governors. Welp, she had already met them - well, most of them, except for the wet trunk-screeching lady, Lainey. "
The headmistress was looking for her," Louisa whispered to Max before falling silent again listening to Truebridge giving them promises of new approaches in Hogwarts and formal boring stuff like that. The distraction from the house-elves provided some entertainment and Louisa couldn't help but chuckle at the pink plant, she was positive that this would get Spikey all happy and hyper in a heartbeat. Pity he was probably sitting on the far end of the table,
sigh.
When finally the food appeared, Louisa let out a sigh and re-straightened up, clapping her hands once and her eyes gleaming at the mashed potato dish across the table. She was definitely starving, and needed to get some tension out by stuffing her face with THAT. So, naturally, her torso leaped forward snatching the mashed potato dish and with a very hungry look she started scooping half of it to her own plate before putting it back to where it was.
Then she dug in.
HEHEHEHEHE. Addy!Jacks covered her mouth with her hand and leaned into Vivi as Louisa apologized... ish. Whatever that was. It was CLEAR being Vivi's friend was going to be interesting to say that very least. HEHEHE.
