Looking back at the girl, she figured that maybe if the girl had food to tempt her, she would become hungry. She'd already had her bag of jelly beans out after offering them to Forrest, so she just held the bag out in the young girl's direction. "Jelly beans?" She asked politely and smiled.
NOM NOM.
Bliss took a couple out for herself and popped them in her mouth. Yummy. She chewed delicately and waited for the girl's reply. Haruka. She swallowed and spoke, "that's an interesting name. It's really nice to meet you." BEAM. "How are you liking Hogwarts so far?" This was important, because depending on Haruka's answer, Bliss could help make it BETTER. Being one of the middle/older students made her feel like it was her responsibility to do that.
Jelly Beans? Curses! Haruka's never been able to turn down sweets.
"Thank you!" She nodded politely as she took some. She smiled shyly when Bliss commented on her name. Haruka's face lit up when Bliss asked how she liked things so far.
"Everything's great!" She beamed.
"I can't wait for classes to start!" SPOILER!!: Minnie

Oh and she was excited to start classes, Minerva love to see this.. She always loved the new class feel and hoped some others did as well. “That’s awesome, you’re really going to enjoy classes. Which one are you the most excited about?” She then looked at the girl a little more serious, “Don’t be afraid to ask any of us for help if you need it. That’s what a house is for helping and supporting, as well as having fun. So make sure if you need anything to ask.” It was good to make sure the younger ones felt comfortable and not intimidated.
Haruka smiled at the older girl's kindness.
"Well, I'm originally from Japan," she replied.
"But my family moved to England a few years ago." Her smile grew when the girl asked about classes.
"I'm most excited about Divinations!"
She noticed Minnie took on a more serious tone and shifted in her seat when the older Puff encouraged her to ask for help.
"Okay," she offered, though the reply was empty.

Haruka smiled back at Awarlesta.
"Hi! My name's Haruka!" She noticed that the corners of the girl's lips were twitching a bit, which she recognized as a familiar symptom of over-smiling.
SPOILER!!: Alec

Alec reached up a hand to ruffle his hair, a sheepish expression momentarily crossing his face. He didn't really mean to disturb people, it was just a sort of... habit. Yeah. Greeting new Hufflepuffs was just something he tended to do at Start of Term Feasts. But maybe this girl wouldn't mind meeting someone new?
Plus as if he was scary.
OH. GRIN. "Hey Haruka!" Could he possibly call her Ruka? That sounded like an awesome nickname, yeah? ... He'd probably have to talk to her at least on one other occasion before nicknames could be given. "It's great to meet to you too! Erm... so are you looking forward to your first term here?"
Haruka shook her head slightly to get rid of the remainder of her daydream. She smiled up at the older boy's question.
"I'm very excited! I can't wait for classes to start!"
