"Evening, Garrick." She said, upon reaching the boy as she gave him a tiny pat on the shoulder. Hair ruffling was for her Quidditch boys. Of course, it meant that Mo got one. "Hey, Marcus." Ruffle. Ruffle. There were things she wanted to ask him but that can be saved for later. She still had stuff to take care of. One of that was greet and welcome her Ravenclaws, old and new.

Moving along.... "Hi, Aquila." Beezus sent a wave in her direction. And then there was a new face....who didn't seem too happy with what was going on. Wait...what was going on exactly? Leaning over on the table, that's when she noticed the plastics......plates and cups and...WHERE WAS THE SILVERWARE?! Blinking, she snatched a plastic cup, examined it with utter refusal and mumbled out towards the new girl (giant_squid_fan) "What is this?"

Really, she wanted an explanation.

Descending into a seat next to her co-Prefect, her frown deepened and then she nudged him. "Ethaaan...what....why...plastics....why do we have plastics?" What was the Headmistress up to this time?

Ehhh.

BUT HEY. A firstie! (GoblinFrog) Trashing out the plastic matter for a while, Beezus beamed at the young girl. "Hello! Welcome to Ravenclaw!" Please ignore the plastic utensils. And the broken banner..... *BLINK* ...."What happened to our banner!?" Why did everything seem so....poorly?

Dear Merlin...she needed some ice cream.

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?




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.




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.
