Seeing as Puck had taken the lead with the group, Zander decided to stick behind and wait for any stragglers. That was until he noticed his fellow Prefect bolting in Bianca's direction and OKAY, OKAY HE WAS COMING FOR THE FRONT. Merlin's beard. Gaaaaah. This Prefect thing was already an exhausting job and he wasn't even dealing with the troubled houses. SPOILER!!: Mentions of Airey but mostly Romanos Quote:

But it's not just these bits down here at the feet," he continued, lifting his suit jacket a bit to show off the rest of the harness. "See? There is a bit here that goes around the waist. It's there for increased security. Personally charmed everything myself. Compleeeeeeeetely sa---"
But before he could finish his sentence, he heard the creaking of the Fat Lady's portrait opening and the hustle of shoes against the stone floor.
"THEY ARE COMING!" he manly squealed as he shooed her away from where he stood. Seeing the first bright-eyed and bushy tailed student step foot in the common room proper, Airey threw the crowd of students a confident salute just before he leaped off the platform into the darkness of the night while shouting, "WELCOME TO GRYFFINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!"

An eyebrow raise was happening at you, Airey Flamsteed.
With a soft scoff, she did happen to look at the bungee jumping attire. The concept didn't sound any more safe after seeing what one wore. "Must you be tied at the feet like that?"
Just as he made his way to the front line WAS PROFESSOR FLAMSTEED JUMPING OFF THIS EARLY??? Welp. That made things sufficiently awkward. Mostly because he had been on his way over to compliment the hard work the Professors had put into redoing the place, but now... Now he was just walking towards one Professor Romanos. And the discomfort couldn't be any more real. You'd think after a full term the boy would recover. Wrong. He didn't think she was evil anymore she was mostly not evil, but still. After all his accusations, it was kind of hard to look into her eyes without feeling 10000% terrible about his terrible judgement. Ahem.
Anyways, he couldn't really turn back now that he made EYE CONTACT. So he continued over. How come once he became a Prefect, Professor Romanos had to be a part of the team? Granted, she was there last term too. BUT STILL. Couldn't they have waited until Zander graduated to give her the position or something? 'Cause awwwwwkwaaaaard. "Uh, hi Professor," he said smiling rather uncomfortably. Fancy seeing you here. No, he wouldn't say that. Lame. "The place looks great," totally great. Mhm. Yuuuuuuup. He stood around in uncomfortably silence, rocking back and forth at this point. Willing Professor Flamsteed to fly back up into the air. After all, what goes down must come up, right? PROFESSOR PLS. SPOILER!!: Silas Quote:

But whatever. Feast was over and here he was. In the room with a bunch of other people and the fireplace was emitting JUST ENOUGH heat to make him feel like he was going to nod off. FUNSIES! And his HoH just jumped out the window... and people were doing things. Blaaaaah.
Moving over to the sofa he plopped down and let out a great big yawn and looked around at his housemates. Hmmmm. Who did he want to talk to? Zander had his eye on this one. The one that was so condescending towards little Amur during the feast. And this fifth year was not a fan. Not. A. Fan. And oh, how fitting? The guy was just laying on the cough. Well, not laying. Just sitting mostly. And yawning. Ruuuude. They had put together SO many FUN festivities and he was just SITTING THERE??? Was he even aware of the meeting that they had over the summer to plan this thing? And he was SITTING.
No. No, no no.
Hate to burst your bubble, kid but Zander was coming over to disturb your nap. Walking towards him, but staying far enough away as to not 'contaminate' the air he breathed or something like that, the Gryffindor furrowed his brows. "Don't just sit around yawning! There are so many fun things to do," yes, he was annoyed but he was still wearing the badge... Which meant he couldn't show his annoyance, so instead he gave the boy an encouraging smile. Because that's what he was supposed to do, right? Also, didn't know the guys name so introductions would be necessary at some point. "I'm Zander Adair by the way, one of your Prefects, and everyone worked really hard on this, so why don't you try a delicious cupcake or something?" Show you care. Even just a little.
Actually, he even surprised himself a bit there. With his voice sounding a little more confident than he actually felt. Heh. SPOILER!!: Damieeeeen Quote:

Rather, he’d considered putting on a summer suit, but had decided his white dress shirt, tapered jeans and chucks were nice enough for the casual party amongst his new peers. The room was so Red and Gold that for a second Damien couldn’t see anything but the colors.
Thankfully, his blue eyes adjusted and after a minute or so the boy was able to see the party and it’s attendants properly. There were two older people, a man in a very nice suit and a beautiful brunette that Damien probably shouldn’t have been eyeing, but eh, kind of was – He knew they were teachers and clearly they were aligned with Gryffindor, but he didn’t know anything else. – There was Puck, hard to miss the effervescent brunette, and Nemo, and…. He recognized some of the others from the feast, but Damien didn’t know their names or anything.
Oh, and Bianca was there, he hadn’t had the chance to talk to her at the feast, which had been a shame, ‘cause she was cool, really cool. He’d say hello in a bit, first he wanted to get at those marshmallows before the vanished….
And it was while he was eating that he noticed the suited man was wearing… A harness? And was that….
His mouth slipped open. “Bungee Jumping.” Oh. Hell. Yes.
So one thing he had to keep in mind was to check with the new kids, right? Since it was a welcome party after all, despite the GRYFFINDORING theme. Seeing the blonde kid (Aegis), or were they all blonde kids according to what Damien had said Zander almost made his way over there, but saw that he looked... uh... rather preoccupied. So instead, he waved over at Damien instead. Winged horse guy. "Welcome to Gryffindor! Officially." The sorting was technically the real indication that he was a true lion, but he was in the Common Room now. This was the REAL DEAL.
Soooooo.... He took a great big look around the Common Room himself actually, trying to take in every aspect of their fun party activities. "Think you're in the right place?"
