It was important that all new first years to know who was who.

Corrigan actually had to stand up in order to peer over all the heads of taller students between her and the staff table. It was either that or lean back, and she didn't want to risk losing her balance and toppling off the bench. It seemed important to memorize her head of house, just like it was important to memorize the prefects, Helena, the names of all the new people she was going to meet, where classes were, what order classes were in...

Some part of her quietly acknowledged that she was going to forget something over the next few days, but it wasn't going to be anyone's name!

To Helena, she said, "Thank you. Is Mr. Kitridge going to introduce himself to us?"

It seemed like something a Head of House might do. And something more polite than trusting on other people to point him out.

She did know that they looked a lot nicer than than that one lady over there yelling at the Slytherins. Kate wondered what her class was, because she figured she'd be frightened to even go.

Kate watched as Corrigan took in the sights at the Slytherin house table. She felt Corrigan's arm on hers and instantly things became a little more real. There were things to be afraid of here at Hogwarts, and they didn't lie within the pits of the Black Lake. They sat right next to them at a little place called 'Slytherin House Table'. "Me, too," Kate whispered back, as if they were discussing the most confidential of information. "The only thing we have to be afraid of is getting knowledge-locked out of our common room." Whoa. That was a really cool made-up word she just used!

"Me too." Corrigan grinned, "I'm going to jump aaaall over my bed when we get to our room. All over it."

Corrigan glanced over at Kate, not quite ready to take her eyes off the Slytherin table, "Knowledge-locked? You mean our common room will lock us out if it thinks we're too stupid?"

And for that matter, did the common room grade stupidity according to year, or was it a flat level they had to pass? Ugh, she'd have to start taking a pillow and blanket with her all the time, just in case.
