"So, is it like a dried ring of peach? I really do love a fresh peach." Any food right now sounded good. What was the agenda for this evening, anyway?
He looked around, trying his best to follow conversation but also discover what, exactly, was going on.
Jasmine took the younger boy's hand and shook it.
"You're very welcome. I'm sure you will learn lots about Ravenclaw and meet a lot of interesting people in your new house." And that was the truth. If there was one thing Ravenclaw had it was interesting people.
"Enjoy the feast." SPOILER!!: Ophie

This place was already so much nicer than her family. Not that her family was mean to her, but being the youngest of six children meant that the child didn't get the most sibling affection. Most of the pranks though. That wasn't fun.
"Thanks!" Big grin! Because thanks! Being welcomed actually felt pretty cool. Her older sister was right, your house WAS like a happy family. Hopefully at least. Because the blonde --as she flipped the untangled part of her hair over her shoulder-- was going to be spending a lot of time with these people, and if they didn't get along too well, it was going to be a loooong seven years. But so far it wasn't gonna be bad. She already met two people and was planning on meeting many more.
And by the way, the excitement has not worn off yet. Ophelia doubted it would ever wear off. Because, Hogwarts. Merlin, it was a magical school! How could you get tired of this place? She doubted that the seventh years even grew tired of this place. There were witches and wizards and magical feasts! And if what Newton told her, goblins and ghosts and magical beasts! And she got sorted into the house her brothers and sister got sorted into! Oh, the first night was already fabulous, including all of the people she met. Yay! Maybe her worry was something unwarranted. Because this was awesome. As long as something crazy didn't happen this year.
Was this kid excited? Jasmine would definitely say so and that was a good thing.
"You are welcome. I know how it feels to be the new kid. I was new just like you last year. I think you're going to like it here.. Jasmine had a good feeling about this one.
SPOILER!!: Abby

Jasmine saw a familiar face among the sea of new ones and went over to greet her.
"Hi Abby. Welcome back. Did you have a nice summer?.". It really was good to see all of her housemates again after the summer break.
SPOILER!!: Grey Lady

******
Sir Nick's voice boomed so loudly from the Gryffindor table that Helena had to give him a long glance and massage her ear drums before focusing on her eagles again. Why did Nick need to be so loud?
"Welcome to Ravenclaw everyone! I'm the Grey Lady, Ravenclaw's house ghost. I like riddles especially hard ones. I assume everyone had good summers?"
Jasmine saw the Grey Lady and figured that it was time to meet her properly. She hadn't had the opportunity last year. Walking over to the house ghost, Jasmine greeted her.
"Hello Miss Ravenclaw. I'm Jasmine. It's nice to finally meet you." SPOILER!!: Penelope

Another familiar face appeared and Jasmine broke into a smile.
"Hi Penelope! It's good to see you. How have you been?" She was really glad to see Penelope again. After all the drama that she had endured last year, Jasmine wasn't sure that the younger girl would be back for a second term.
"I know. Can you believe it?" Jasmine still couldn't believe that she had been chosen as a Prefect. She was still trying to figure that one out.
SPOILER!!: Aurora

Of course, her previous school had had a vast stone room also, almost as extravagantly ordained as this one (roaring torches hung on great iron pikes and blooming tapestries whose golden thread shone in such a way it gave the impression of movement). Yet, this particular hall bared such a warmth that her ignorance about the whole establishment felt almost dulled. Of course this could've been because of the marvellous floating candles throwing the light from their flames onto the matte stone floor below, but as she took in the four crowded tables, students jostling about one another in a frenzy of affection and wonder, she came to the conclusion that it wasn't just the weightless sticks of wax that gave this particular hall its very particular glow.
With a deep breath to calm her nerves and the ever-growing knowledge that she knew no one (having been unfortunate enough on the train to not find anyone to sit with who actually enjoyed the art of conversation) she pressed on, squeezing herself past some wide-eyed Gryffindors locked in high-pitched chit-chat about 'what they'd done that summer', until she spotted an empty spot on the Ravenclaw table bench. "Yes," she breathed, relieved. Scooting into the space, she quickly reached out and grabbed a handful of crisps, dropping them onto her plate, before shifting her attention to the large platter of pumpkin pasties. Food. Food was her main priority now. She'd almost completely forgotten the strangers - her new housemates - that were sat in various spaces around the growing pile of goop in front of her. Friends, she quickly chaste herself. Friends are your main priority now.
.....And another new student needed to be welcomed. She looked a little nervous to Jasmine, but hopefully that wasn't the case. She walked over to the girl and extended her hand.
Hello, I'm Jasmine. Welcome to Ravenclaw. Are you enjoying the feast so far?" Just at that moment, she felt her stomach growl....loudly. Looking at the girl with embarrassment, she said, I'll be glad when the Headmistress gives her speech so we can eat.
Jasmine saw one more student that needed greeting, for now. However, this girl seemed to have separated herself from the masses. If anyone could understand that, she could. Jasmine approached the girl somewhat warily. She didn't want to bother anyone that wanted some quiet time.......but she wanted everyone to feel welcome.
The girl looked a little sad and that would definitely
not do, not on Jasmine's watch anyway. She walked up to the girl with her most friendly smile.
"Hi. I'm Jasmine. Welcome to Ravenclaw. If you ever need any help with anything feel free to ask me." Sensing that the girl could use a little extra attention, Jasmine asked,
"Do you mind if I sit here?" If she didn't want to be bothered, she could always say no.
