The silly hat didn't know what it was talking about.
"Hi! I'm CHAR! OH its GREAT! I mean, THE HAT it put me in RAAVENCLAW so you know, OBVIOUSLY its great! But I know a LOT about Hogwarts already, My mum and dad went here, my mum was prefect for Ravenclaw AND head girl as well," Seeeee? SHE BELONGED WITH THE EAGLES. "And my BEST FRIEND in the world, his MUM used to be the HEADMISTRESS! So, we know pretty much everything already." And because she knew things, that was another reason for her to be a RAVENCLAW. THEY KNEW THINGS.
Project Eagle = flawless execution.
"It's nice to meet you Char", Janelle said with a smile.
"I'm glad things are going well for you so far." Wow, this kid had quite a pedigree. She certainly seemed to know way more than Janelle did when she first arrived at Hogwarts.
"My sister was a Ravenclaw prefect too so we kind of have something in common." Apparently Char was not going to need any help getting into the swing of things. She already had a head start.
"I'm sure you'll fit right in and have a great first year here." Hopefully the year would be drama free so they all could have a great one.
SPOILER!!: Adi

Janelle. She did seem very much ready for the new school year.
"Make the most of it,'' he told her simply because someday he knew she would be wishing she could start all over again, like he was doing right now. Traveling? That was nice.
"Where did you travel to? Did your family get you annoyed anytime?" Because family gatherings tended to be all dramatic sometimes and emotions can run high.
"I'll be sure to owl her soon. I'm glad she's enjoying it and I bet she must be acing those classes.'' Jasmine was BRILLIANT.
"Me? I just practiced my spell work. Especially my Patronus. I finally managed a corporeal one and it takes the shape of a coyote.'' Adi was excited about that still and couldn't wait to show Dakest.
"I feel old and I feel as though it's all surreal. Like I had only started Hogwarts last year.'' Ahh, he was getting emotional!
Adi eyed
Tia. Was she ignoring him because of what he and Caleb had joked about earlier on the carriage? They had just been kidding around but maybe his friend didn't see it that way.
"Tiaaaa.'' Not mad at him, were you?
Oh, Merlin! There was a LOUD new eagle (
Char)! But Adi LOVED her enthusiasm and bubbliness.
"HI! Welcome to Ravenclaw! Er, I'm not a Claw but it doesn't matter that I'm welcoming you, right?" After all, he was all for House spirit.
"I'm Adi, seventh year Hufflepuff prefect.'' Ahh, this girl had connections! He was impressed. Mom as prefect and she knew one of the Headmistresses? Cool!
Janelle was really glad to see her friend again.
"Oh I will", Janelle replied. She meant to make every moment count this year. This was going to be a good school year, or else.
"I went to California. That's where I was born and I still have friends and family there, so I like to visit." Janelle laughed when Adi asked about annoying family members.
"No, everyone was cool. I'm always glad to be with my immediate family because it's very rare that we are all together at one time. When I got back home, everyone was there. It was great." "You should owl Jasmine. I know she'd love to hear from you." Jasmine always asked for updates about her friends. It would be good for the two of them to catch up.
"A patronus? Really? Wow Adi, that's awesome!" Janelle had been practicing her patronus charm too, but hadn't been nearly as succeessful. Then when the conversation turned to being a seventh year, Janelle regretted having brought it up. When was she going to learn to stop asking that question? Of course seventh years were feeling conflicted. Happy and yet sad at the same time. She would definitely have to leave that one alone.
SPOILER!!: Ruby

Her eyes scanned over the seats looking for her perfect blonde sister, disappointed when she couldn't see her hidden amongst the sea of green and the celebrations for the newly sorted first year. She bit her bottom lip between her teeth and made a mental note to try find her later. She wanted a hug, she wanted her to tell her that everything would be okay and she’d be happy in a house whose common room were as far away from one another as possible.
She slid into the nearest available seat on the table and watched the commotions at the table. There was another first year there (Charlotte), one who’d been sorted into Gryffindor but was adamant that she was a Claw. She was too nervous to say anything mostly through fear of the clearly louder and much more intimidating blonde shouting at her that she was wrong. What if you could change your house? What if the hats word wasn't final?
She tore her eyes away in case they saw her staring. She didn't want to come across as rude, certainly not on her first day at school. Instead she looked down at the table and waited for someone to talk to her.
Janelle saw a new girl, probably a first year, looking very nervous. Getting up, she walked over to her.
"Hi, I'm Janelle. Welcome to Ravenclaw." The girl seemed a little overwhelmed by all that was going on at the table. Janelle had gotten pretty used to the drama by now.
Janelle noticed her looking toward the Slytherin table.
"Do you have a friend in Slytherin?" Hopefully she wasn't regretting being sorted into Ravenclaw. If she was, she'd soon learn to love her new house.
SPOILER!!: Riley

She wasn't 'late' or anything. She hadn't gone to the WRONG house table. And if she had then ... SO WHAT?
"HELLO FELLOW 'CLAWS," she greeted, taking a seat near (Ruby) and away from Charlotte.
Before she knew it, there was another newbie sitting down at the table. Someone new to meet. Janelle was on a mission to meet as many new people as possible. Besides, she knew what it was like to be new and nervous.
"Hi there. I'm Janelle. Welcome to Ravenclaw. I know you'll like it." SPOILER!!: Grey Lady

It was nice to see that Tia - Marie and Janelle were back for another year and so was puff prefect Aditya. The spiders hadn't sent them packing. Sending both girl's hearty smiles and waves and a nod of the head to Adi, Helena focused on the loudest blond student (Charlotte) presently at the table.
In Helena's opinion it was those that proclaimed too loudly that they belonged to a certain house that most often turned out to belong somewhere else. She wasn't going to break the news to the youngster, she was pretty certain that the hat had already done that. Instead she said with a wink. "If you make your voice hoarser you'll caw better."
A little ways down a brunette (Ruby) about the same age as the blond slipped into a seat silently followed by another girl (Riley). Waving to the younglings Helena called out "Welcome to Ravenclaw, home of the high soaring eagles!"
The Grey Lady joined the students at the table and Janelle noticed her waving in greeting. She waved back and replied to the house ghost.
"Hello Miss Ravenclaw. It's good to see you again." SPOILER!!: Daxton

Still with his hands clamped over his ears, Daxton approached and eyed the occupants of the table uncertainly, then sat down as far away from the general throng of people as he could possibly get. The only person he knew here so far was Char, and she was right in the middle of everyone, and also loud, and also he wanted to just take a moment to... well... he wasn't sure what. To gather himself. Calm his anxiety. Away from everyone else.
So he sent a scowl in their general direction to warn them all off, then focused his attention on the resplendent cutlery and crockery that adorned the table. Was this gold?
Would... would anyone notice if some of these goblets went... missing?
Stealing would require Daxton to remove his hands from his ears, though, and he didn't plan on doing that any time soon. So instead the newly sorted Ravenclaw eyed the goblet in front of him, staring at his warped but otherwise impassive reflection, trying to acclimatise to the strange way of life this school was already throwing at hi-
Daxton started. Part of the reflection in one of the goblets had him looking back up again. Staring. Was that a-...?
A ghost. That was a ghost. That was definitely a ghost.
Man, there were a lot of firsties this year. This time it was a new boy. A boy who didn't seem to want to be in the mix. He sat away from everyone else and wasn't looking particularly friendly. Being a Guidry, Janelle refused to accept the "I don't want to be bothered" cues. She went over to the boy with a smile.
"Hi I'm Janelle. Just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Ravenclaw. It's not always this crazy. Well, yes it is, but Ravenclaw is cool. We have a lot of fun. Anyway.....welcome." There, short and sweet. Janelle left it open so if he wanted to talk, they could......if not, well that was cool too.
Janelle saw one of the seventh years coming toward her
Benzi.........and he was wearing a badge. Oh, this was the new prefect who would be partnering with Sophie Brown. As he greeted Janelle and her friends, Janelle smiled.
"Hi, my summer was great. How was yours? Oh and congratulations on being prefect!" She would have to get to know the new Ravenclaw leader because........one needed to know the person in charge 'cause, well you just did.
