Why, if it isn't Benjamin. The other half to the Garrick. She only shot the younger Ravenclaw a furtive glance. Beezus had this feeling that the boy didn't like her and even though she couldn't pinpoint out why, she didn't care so much. She was being herself and she was confident that she couldn't please everyone so why worry?

Moving on...

"Oh. I know you're new. Sorry about that." Her mouth seems to run whenever things she didn't expect to happen occur in succession. The whole introduction thingy was definitely a good breaker for the tension. "Niamh? That's a very interesting name." Smiiiile. "I'm Beatrice...albeit almost everyone calls me Beezus. Or Bee." But the latter was saved for those that were very close to her.

N'awww. Beezus loved seeing new faces. Hold on....this girl's face...there was a Gryffindor....Oh, right. She remembered now. The girl had a twin.

"Zyanya? I supposed your twin is with the Lions?" That must be cool. Having a twin and all. Now she just missed Bambi. Sigh. "Beatrice. But you can call me Beezus." And her sister made that nickname too.

"Gwen!" She smiled at the girl and then her eyes followed them to the banner. Yeaah. She was still troubled about that. Catching her friend's eye, she shrugged. Please don't ask me, I don't really know what happened either.

"It's plastic. I don't know if that's any significance or what. But I don't like that it's plastic." Because plastic was disposable and it can contribute a lot to the destruction of the world's atmosphere because of its harmful components and something of that sort. You know....

"Me too." Beezus heaved a sigh, "I just don't get why it's plastics when it's an absolute muggle invention." What are the circumstances playing at? Also, can the Headmistress give her speech now? More stomach grumbling going on here.

The smiling fading a bit, she shrugged. "Well...both good and bad actually. " But she wasn't going to elaborate on that. Nope. She was holding a dear secret that she couldn't risk telling anybody, at least now was not the right time. But yeah.

"How was YOUR summer?"

There he went again. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Beezus would never get the duo but they were throwing her those kind of gestures and although it was starting to get annoying, insulting even, she was going to sit there and enjoy the night.

People can think what they want to think of her. It was her life, she was going to live it like she wanted.

"I'm actually bothered by both." It was like whoever was doing this was trying to stray away from Hogwarts tradition and although it was true that change is the only constant thing in this world, Beezus could've hoped that they took it slow. Not like this. Like...Boom! You don't get to eat in silver anymore... O.o

"I miss our silvers." For over five years now. The silverwares had always been her confidante during meal time. This was making her sad. Meh.

Dude. Yeah, they were dudes now. And dudes needed to talk....but later....because food was more important.

The house elves forgot today? Bliiiiink. No. The house elves were more efficient than this. Beezus wasn't going to think that it was the house elves' fault this time. They've all been very good to her for the few years she'd treated Hogwarts as her second home. Especially Beezley, she liked Beezley.

"Oh, um, I don't know really." It was frustrating when you didn't know what was going on when you were supposed to be a student leader. But on the girl's next question though, at least she knew a thing or two. "Yes. Every student got the chance to vote but in the end, it's really the vote from most adults that counted. It was still worth a shot, though." She grinned. That was a good time. Campaign time. Free snacks and free goodies from the candidates. Hehe.

And dear Merlin, who was this girl again?! Oh, right. Her friend, the new Ravenclaw Captain, and the very late Elise Fairfield. The Headmistress got on the Staff dais even before the blonde came. Castell demanding face on. "Where were you?" Because Beezus got worried.
