"A younger sister? Cool, what's her name?" she asked out of curiosity. "Um, let's see. You already know I'm from Germany. I have no younger siblings nor older, but I've always wanted one. I really, really like peach rings," she exclaimed, wishing that she'd be able to get to her chest soon, she had a few bags in there.
She watched the ghost and just sat quietly, staring up at her.
Tessa was grateful for the introduction, she really wanted to meet some other Ravenclaws. She raised an eyebrow at the wink, no one ever actually winked at her before. "Nice to meet you, Austin. I'm Tessa Jin, first year," she replied with a small nod of her head.
"Yeah, I'm Tessa and you are?" she smiled brightly at the blonde. She seemed like a nice girl, she really needed to make more girl friends at the school, especially since she was already friends with Leo, and Thorton and now Austin. She was truly happy to learn about magic, coming from a muggle home, this was all new to her. She loved to look around the hall, it was so amazing!
Thornton stared at the ghost, recognition suddenly dawning. Seren had mentioned house ghosts. This must be Ravenclaw's!
But Tessa's conversation drew his attention.
"My sister's name is Mairwen. She's 5. She hates that I'm here and not at home with her." He smiled, thinking of his little sister and laughed a bit.
"Oh, I guess that's something else about me. My mother's maiden name was Thornton, which is why it's my name. Even though she took father's family name when they married, she wanted her heritage to always be present in my name, too."
But there was something else she said that sparked his interest.
"What's... a peach ring?"
The table was beginning to fill and he took note of the new folks joining him. He nodded to Ophelia and then to Austin.
"Thornton Baines, of the Wrexham Baines, pleasure to make your acquaintance, Ophelia, Austin." He extended his hands to shake theirs.
"Tessa has decided to call me Baines, since Thornton's a bit unwieldy, but either is fine with me."
