Kate smiled and nodded to the new first year who showed up. This was one of her housemates, yeah? She was pretty sure she'd seen the girl around. And she was lost, too? Kate felt a little relieved, because it meant that she wasn't the only one getting lost all the time.

Ooooh but brownies! Kate beamed at Adelaide as she took a brownie. "Thank you!" she said happily. The Slytherin might've just become Kate's new favorite person… not that she was accepting bribes for friendship or anything. She took a big bite of the brownie and looked over at the lady as she munched happily. Wandering the castle came with a risk? Kate sort of doubted that. What could the risk be here? Nothing dangerous could sneak in, and everyone was really nice. And the flood had been years ago, the lady had said.

Aww, Hayden was making a map so people didn't get lost. That was so sweet! Kate needed a map like that. She swallowed the bite of her brownie. "Can I have a copy of your map when you finish, Hayden?" Kate asked. She would even help her friend if Hayden wanted, though Kate knew nothing about map-making. She took another, smaller bite of her brownie and chewed slowly to savor it.
