She waved to her and smiled, trying to give her a little house welcome while they all waited for the feast to begin. Seriously, where is the fooood? She heard her stomach growl and rumble at the thought.
Isobel smiled and waved back at the older Ravenclaw. She had no idea who she was, but always happy to accept a welcome! Gosh, everyone here was a lot nicer than expected! Hopefully they'd stay that way, and she wouldn't find that half the House hated her behind her back or something. That would be pretty awful.

When she heard the question she just laughed and smiled again. “Yeah no, we usually have really nice goblets and stuff…I mean something sketchy is going on since we don’t normally have plastic cutlery – heck I’m surprised the school knew what plastic cutlery and muggle Dixie cups were.” She chuckled. “I just hope that we still have pumpkin juice – I mean its so good and pumpkin spice is the best flavor” she just nodded as a final note.
Pumpkin spice was needed.
"Yeah, I've gotten that a few times." It was kind of annoying, honestly, though Isobel supposed it wasn't necessarily their fault for mishearing.
"Lemmings kind of creep me out, to be honest. I hate rodents." Why, exactly, did rats have to be an acceptable pet for Hogwarts students to have? Their weird, fleshy tails and skittery feet made her feel... eugh.
"Okay, well I'm glad it's not how things usually are, at least." Paper plates were cool and all, but they kind of killed the Hogwarts mood. A mystical, magical school, with a starry ceiling, floating candles and... plastic forks. Not all that cool-sounding.
"I wonder why things are different this year." Perhaps the food would be compromised as well? Isobel hoped not, she'd heard its praise from her father often, usually griping about how he wished he had a house-elf.
"I've never had pumpkin juice, but I hear it tastes delicious!" Quote:

Isobel stood up to shake hands with her fellow first year, smiling politely back.
"It's nice to meet you! I'm Isobel." Huh. She could honestly say she'd never heard the name Zyanya before. It was pretty, though!
"So, being a first year, are you as excited about actually being at Hogwarts as I am?" because let me tell you, she was pretty freaking excited.
