SPOILER!!: Garrick

Cannot be washed?....

Her brown eyes grew large. She has never seen dinnerware that cannot be washed before. Even their wooden plates and spoons had to be washed (even more so). She brought her face close to the paper plate then eyed the bottom of the cup. And then sniffed. “They don’t smell bad.” She mumbled, eying the strange (aren’t they all?) boy who had spoken earlier “Do you suppose they want us to transfigure them back to what they were? Like a biiiig test?” this was a school after all wasn’t it?

SPOILER!!: Ethan and Mo

He was intent on making it a fun and memorable one, yet felt slightly melancholy that it was his last year and last opening feast. Not that it would be a feast any time soon, he guessed. The Headmistress had a way of taking forever to orate her speech, therefore delaying the food.

As he neared the Ravenclaw table, green eyes looked up to the banner overhead. It looked.. less lustrous or something.. old. Huh. Maybe it was a trick of the light. He didn't give it mush more thought until he took a seat at his house table and caught sight of the tableware. He raised an eyebrow, staring at the paper plates in bewilderment before slowly lowering himself on the bench. What was going on here..? His eyes swept over the plastic cups and cutlery as well, grimacing slightly. What happened to the ornate tableware of the last couple terms? It was just.. not classy.

But whatever.. the boy just wanted to be fed at this point. Feeling his stomach rumble at the thought of food, Ethan turned his eyes towards the staff table, wondering when people would get there and when he could start eating. Though looking up there also made him wonder about the new staff placements he had heard about. Min said something about a new Charms professor.. and he was remotely interested in who that might be.. and what happened to Bellaire, who presumably got sacked. Then he turned his eyes to the sorting hat to wait for the sorting to begin. He figured it would be interesting to see new Ravenclaws.

He put up his feet on the bench and casually stacked all the plastic cups on his side of the table into a giant tower.

NBD, just being awesome.

There was Ethan, with a prefect badge. That was cool... Ethan was practically a mate, considering they played Quidditch together. And there was precious Aquila, who still managed to look like she'd never seen even TABLES before.

And then some unknown folks. Mo nodded to the boy at his unsanitary comment. "I think they're safe, actually. You just rubbish bin them once you're done. Sort of wasteful, plus we have loads of nice cutlery and stuff here. But maybe it's supposed to feel like a picnic? In the spirit of things, what?"

And a girl he didn't recognize either, although she looked less aggrieved by the plates and things. Mo gave her a nod as well before leaning in and whispering, "You're a bit tall for a first year. Plus... don't I know you from somewhere? Did you go to Beauxbatons before transferring? I'm Marcus Orion Branxton, by the way."

Oh! More Ravenclaws joining them. Ravenclaw guys who Aquila was still getting used to. But hey she wasn’t one to retreat behind her journal anymore, or behind other girls for protection. She was just talking to a STRANGE BOY see? Progress.

She eyed this boy with the shiny badge. “Ooohh you’re wearing that” she said, remembering it on another boy the term before, Spike, he of the lovely curls. “Did Spike give that to you?”

Then Mo sauntered in and she gave a jubilant grin “Mo thank you for saving me from the WALL.” she beamed, before subconsciously touching her nose. She had the strangest feeling it hit something really solid and she was only there because somehow Mo’s aura protected her and got her through. Don’t nobody tell her she might have to go back the same way when term’s over.

Oh and all stop. Did Mo just state his full name? “Your name is Orion?? Like the constellation??”

Constellations. She knows ‘em yup.

SPOILER!!: Niamh and Raven

And now the Welsh blond sees two other students she doesn’t remember having met before “Hi...” she greeted them smiling. Even when they are strangers, she was far more comfortable with them on first time greetings, based on the simplest fact that they were girls “I am Aquila. Whats your name?”

Oh! And then theres Beezus-- the first girl she met with the shiny badge who still had the shiny badge. Less confussion is good for this blond one yup “Hello Beezus!” she greeted back happily “Hello there Nigel.” she added to the next Claw guy that came after her. Her eyes went back down on the cups and plates—the older students doesn’t seem to be very happy with this “Is it not tradition in Hogwarts to change dinnerware every term?” she was starting to think it was.

Maybe. As he let his eyes scan the room once more (maybe he was looking for a certain Hufflepuff again) his eyes landed on Ethan from WWW. This got a SMILE. He waved a bit and promised himself he would catch up with him in a bit. He was curious as to whether he bought those trainers. Cannot be washed?.... Her brown eyes grew large.

But another girl had also arrived at the table by this time too. Niamh aimed a smile in her direction, There was a chance she could be in the same year as the ex-Beauxbatons student. But, oh what was this, she was talking to one of the boys. Her smile vanishing, Niamh looked away quickly. She didn't want to be seen to intrude on their conversation. Perhaps they knew each other. Niamh sighed. Starting school at any time other than the beginning of First Year was evidently going to stink. Besides, she missed her blue satin uniform.
