The party don't start till I walk--- OH! Apparently it HAD started. Ahem. Well, this was fine too. You see AJ was late by nature, and she had to say goodbye to her boyfriend, it was such a shame that he wasn't a lion, and those kind of things took time. They just did. The common room was pretty packed and as usual there were familiar and not so familiar faces, and oh my goodness what was that on the ledge? For once food didn't call to her first. Airey and Medea were both there. "Hello professors. I hope you guys had a sweet summer." Because she sure did. "And... I totally want a turn at that." Did they need permission or something?

Her eyes scanned the room to see if maybe anybody would want to join her in the fun. There was Bianca whom she had never officially met, but she was somebody that AJ had seen around. That girl got a finger wave, she did. There was another older girl that she had never talked to. Emmylou She got a wave from AJ. Maybe she should talk to some more people. Hmm...

Little Zekewas there. AJ really liked the younger boy, and he was pretty awesome at getting house points, and those kinds of things mattered when you wanted to win at life. "Sup, Zeke?" Did he wanna take a plunge? He looked like the kind of person to do that kind of thing. Benny had made it, but there wasn't a sign of her sister anywhere. "Hey Benny, Angel didn't go off to bed, has she?" Because AJ would drag her down. It would be fun to see Angel diving off the platform.

There was an older boy who she knew that she hadn't seen around. Hiiii Aegis." AJ made her way over to him and stuck her hand out. "Sup? I'm AJ." See how nice and friendly she could be. There was one of their new prefects. How was she going to compare to Lex? Only time would tell because as far as AJ was concerned Puck had some really big shoes to fill. Why not go ahead and introduce herself and congratulate her? The third year walked over to her. "Congrats on becoming prefect." That was a task that AJ wasn't sure she would want. You had to be good all the time, and while she thought it was pretty hot that her boyfriend was one, she didn't think she would want that kind of responsibility to be honest.


Another boy that she didn't know? Mitchell definitely didn't seem familiar, but she could have just missed him. There were a lot of people at Hogwarts, okay? He got a wave anyways... just in case he had been here for seven years or something. The next boy that she laid eyes on was definitely new. Nemo seemed a few years older than she was. Since AJ pretty much made it a habit to wave or introduce herself, she mad her way over to the new lion. "Hey there. I'm AJ." Obviously she was a lion so there wasn't any need to broadcast that. "How are you liking Hogwarts so far?"

More people were here. Dang, how late was she? Anywho, AJ spotted Silas, and gave him a wave. He was another one that she was pretty sure she had seen around before. More boys. A wave was given to you as well, Damien. Looky! It was Zander." A wave simply wouldn't do for him. AJ bounced over to where he was and held out her fist for a bump. "Congrats on prefect man. You totally deserve it." She had things she wanted to talk to him about, but this wasn't the place. The lion leaned in a bit. "I need to talk to you sometime about erm... important things." Later, in private. For now though, "let's just enjoy the party. Are you going to do that?" Points were made to super cool thing that would make you feel like you were flying.

Was that a ickle firstie? Aww! Amur was tiny and cute, and just AWWW! It felt good not to be the smallest and youngest person at Hogwarts anymore. A smile was firmly in place as she made her way over to yet another person. "Welcome to Gryffindor," she said in a super cheery voice. "You got in to the best house ever, and you will LOVE it." What was not to love? "If you ever need any help or anything you just let me know." Because AJ was a good helper, she was. Another first year was caught in her line of vision. Man, it felt like it had been ages since she was a first year when in reality it had only been two years. Timila looked out of sorts? Or maybe AJ was looking too much into it. Either way, he got a big smile too. "Welcome to Gryffindor. How does it feel to be a lion?" Wonderful, amazing, the best feeling ever?

Annnd trouble Kevin was here, and he looked like he was down for the fun. Alright! That was her kind of lion. "Sup?" Now it looked like she was going to have to wait her turn, which she wasn't so good at doing always, but she didn't have much of a choice. "I'm next." Just sayin'!
