It was so huge and colorful and pretty, it would be hard to forget. There was something else by the tapestry. Someone else, in fact. A small girl in Ravenclaw colors was...running into the wall.
"Did you do that on purpose?" Hayden asked. It was probably a stupid question; of course she hadn't ran into the wall on purpose. At least...she probably hadn't. Who would just run into a wall on purpose? Maybe it had been an accident, and this girl would be embarrassed that someone had seen her do it. Hayden hurried to change the subject. "I'm Hayden." She introduced herself because she didn't know what else to say. "I'm a first year, and I'm in Hufflepuff." That part was probably obvious but she felt like it was a good thing to say anyway. It was a standard part of the introduction while at Hogwarts.
Kate jumped and turned to look at whoever was talking. Aw, someone had seen her run into the wall! Well, she could play cool. She was cool. Kate smiled and nodded, shoving her hands into her pockets for added cool factor. "Yeah, on purpose. I wanted to, um, see if the tapestry was padded." It wasn't.
Oh. Introductions. Kate let out a relieved chuckle, glad the subject was changed quickly so she wouldn't have to lie too much. "Nice to meet ya, Hayden. My name's Kate." She stuck out her hand to shake Hayden's hand. "Um, I'm a first year, too. I'm in Ravenclaw, I guess." Whatever that meant. She had lucked out, getting to be in the blue house where she got to wear blue all the time.
"What do you think of Hogwarts?"
