Then she took out her small hand mirror to admire the work she had done to herself on the train - black eyeliner, dark lips, and pale, pale skin. It all went very well with her natural raven black hair. Satisfied, Kitty snapped the mirror shut and began combing her long raven hair. Her eyes wandered over to the Sorting Hat ceremony, where two girls had just been sorted into Gryffindor. She wondered how many new ravens there would be.

Glanced around he gave a large grin to whoever was already here. A few younger students and oh- "Hey Abby!"

As she neared the Ravenclaw table, Janelle scanned it briefly. She saw some familiar faces and a new one or two. It would be strange to have a feast without Sophie Brown. Janelle wondered who the new prefects would be. She had a guess, but she would have to wait and see.
Reaching the table, Janelle found a good spot and sat down. She would take a few minutes to gather herself and then talk to some of her housemates. Fortunately she had learned from her previous mistakes and brought snacks for the train. She should be able to make it make it until the food was served without passing out.

Of course it was the only table he was allowed to sit at at times like these, but it was still his favorite. Giving a nod to those around him, he watched as the Sorting Ceremony took place.

"Um, hi, I guess..." she finally began, venturing a timid smile and playing absentmindedly with the hem on her robe.

Haddie sighed again and opened her eyes, looking around at her new house mates? Was that the word for it? "I hope this house doesn't have a GPA it tries to maintain, because if so, it's probably gonna tank now." She shrugged sheepishly. "Sorry. Blame the hat. I'm Haddie by the way."

"What's wrong?'' She had missed the earlier complaints of her friend, having joined the table late because of her lengthy wait to be Sorted. Rachel gracefully took a seat as she waited for Haddie to reply. In the meanwhile, she smiled a bit shyly at the Ravenclaw table's other occupants.
"Hello,'' she said. "My name is Rachel.''
Soundlessly Helena floated into the Great Hall and over to her precious eagles. It had taken a few extra moments to perfect her make-up and see too that her dress looked impeccable as well as her long brown curls. You had to look your best when welcoming new first years and returning years.
Seeing that her assigned place was vacant still Helena floated over there without haste accidentally giving one of the returning sixth year's
(Kaos.Doodles) a free cold shower on the way
"My apologies Kyroh and most welcome back!" Helena called to him with an elegant hand wave as she passed a trio of girls
(FearlessLeader19, Callie, Mirali) in deep and loud conversation about the Sorting Hat and couldn't not interject with her opinion.
"The sorting hat just does its job. No need to be angry at it. Just be happy that you've been sorted into the finest of all Hogwarts houses." If they kept persisting on waging a futile war with the hat then Helena would alert one of the prefects when they arrived.
Hovering in her seat she sent polite but cheery smiles all around.
"Welcome back Abby, Austin Kitty and Janelle to Ravenclaw for another year to fill your heads with knowledge and experience and to all first years welcome to the house founded by my mother Rowena." Quote:

"Hey! I'm Lilly! Slytherin too, huh? It has such a negative connotation but that's pretty invigorating."
Spotting a girl in the green robes of the Baron's house Helena sent her a curious smile across the table.
"Welcome over to eagles, Miss?" Quote:

As Penelope came in and sat down Helena beamed proudly towards her.
"Welcome back Penelope and congratulations to becoming a prefect! I have no doubt you'll do excellent!" The badge fastened to the girls robes just looked like it belonged there.
