"How was the boat ride over?" she asked Ophie.
She nodded, she bet it was pretty interesting here. Room of Requirement? "What's that?" she asked curiously.
Gummy...? Thornton still didn't know what she was talking about, but he guessed that he'd find out eventually. Trying not to let his ignorance show - he was a Ravenclaw now - he
"I look forward to it."
He looked around the room some more..
"I suppose there's probably some sort of official welcome after the sorting before we eat. Seems only proper..." Quote:

It would be funny to watch as she tried looking for that room. But he decided to cut her a break, since it was her first day. "It's a room that only shows up if you need a room. So if you really need a quiet place to study, then if you walk around near it, a door will pop up and you'll be able to use it." He knew it was on the third floor, but he wasn't going to tell her that.

Thornton tried to follow Austin and Tessa's conversation, curious about the room.
"So it just appears?" He considered it a moment.
"That seems convenient. Does anything else about it change other than it's location?" Quote:

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?"
Thornton's eyes got rather big. Helena Ravenclaw... of course!
"Forgive me," he said, apologetically.
"I do know who you are. Honored to be part of your house,". He half stood.
"Thornton Baines," he extended his hand, and then looked at it quickly before dropping it embarrassed.
of the Wrexham Baines." he finished softly.

Walking over to the Ravenclaw table, she looked for familiar faces and new firsties.
There were a lot of firsties at the Ravenclaw table. Welcome to Ravenclaw." She sat down near the firsties, and introduced herself. "Penelope Wright, second year."
"Hi Austin." It was not necessary to introduce herself to the boy who was in her year.
Penelope smiled at Jasmine. It looked like Jasmine had a shiny new badge. "Jasmine, you're a prefect!"
Pleasure to meet you, Penelope," Thornton said, smiling.
"I'm Thornton." He opted to skip the complete, formal introduction. His tablemates would surely grow sick of it. He leaned over toward her, whispering.
"Do you know when we're going to eat? I only had some Bertie Bott's on the train and I'm... his stomach grumbled then, audibly. His cheeks flushed and he looked down bashfully.
"uh.. very hungry."
