"You're welcome dear. Did you have a good summer Penelope?" Helena asked curiously as he let her eyes drift towards the sorting still taking place and clapping for every newly sorted Ravenclaw. Was it her or wasn't there an unusually big batch of first years getting sorted this year? She'd have to ask Sir Nicholas about that later.
SPOILER!!: Rooney

Rooney's attention dissipated from the sorting and to all of those Professors that he didn't know and didn't have any notes on. Therefore, he moved closer to their end of the Great Hall and was watching their every movements.
And writing absolutely everything down.
Including fashion choices of Professors that he already knew and disliked.
"Good evening Rooney!" Helena greeted the one eagle she couldn't really figure out. He was always so into his own thoughts.
"You look taller then when I saw you last. It suits you Rooney. Did you have a nice summer?" Would she get a nice response back? They hadn't exactly been on the best of terms last feast.
SPOILER!!: Jasper + Azura

"There's a lot of them," Jasper commented in return as she confirmed he was right and it was in fact a ghost. "I wonder what they're all doing at Hogwarts..."
He wasn't certain that he'd ever find out why, but it was still a worthwhile question. One probably best saved for later. After he got to know a ghost.
Overhearing two first years talking about her Helena smiled over at them interjecting to answer the boy's question.
"Evening dears, I'm Helena Ravenclaw, house ghost of Ravenclaw and you two younglings are?" Names, were nice.
"We ghosts live here at the castle and we help you students and also the staff. All of the four houses have their own house ghost. Bloody Baron for the snakes, Sir Nicholas for the lions and the Fat Friar for the badgers and you eagles have me." Hopefully that made sense if not Helena would ask Penelope to explain it better.
SPOILER!!: Chole

She'd read it on the train but now that she had some time to think about it she was going to go through again and circle everything that was not as cool as Catwoman in her comic in red ink. And then Dora could have it back.
Her crazy blonde hair was tied back in a series of knots so the usual curtain of blonde that kept her hidden away was gone. Leaving her open to kind of seeing what was happening around her in her periphery.
Spotting a blond girl arrive with an interesting choice of hair style Helena greeted with a smile
"Welcome to Ravenclaw, Miss? Did you tie your hair into knots like that all by yourself?" If she had then it was something to admire. Helena couldn't see herself doing that.
SPOILER!!: Rachel

"Hello Miss? You did? Have you heard about the sorting hat before coming here from your family?" Helena queried of the first year curiously. It was possible that her parents were Hogwarts alumnus who had given their daughter some knowledge beforehand.
SPOILER!!: Garreth

Returning the boy's wave with an elegant one of her own Helena greeted over the table.
"Welcome to Ravenclaw Mr? Are you excited about becoming an eagle?" SPOILER!!: Kitty

Kitty was still sporting her gothic clothing and make up style. They'd have time to talk later Helena reasoned as she returned the girl's wave with one of her own.
SPOILER!!: Thornton

He spied Penelope a little down the table, dutifully writing down the new sortees. He would find her later and thank her. Best to... spread out along the length of the table instead.
He nodded in greeting as the Grey Lady moved along. "Good evening, Lady," he said with a smile. "How was your summer?"
Finally there was Thornton the lady noted with satisfaction. Beaming at him across the table she said
"Evening Thornton! Congrats on being made prefect. Mr Kitridge couldn't have chosen anyone better." The badge looked as lovely and right on him as it did on Penelope.
"My summer was uneventful. Researched some transfiguration. But otherwise the school gets very lonely when all you students aren't here. How was your own summer?" SPOILER!!: Austin

He remembered how last term had a breakfast feast outside, with games throughout the year. He hoped this year would have just as much fun in store.
"You're welcome Austin." Helena responded as she turned to look over at Austin, one of the first fourth years to arrive at the table.
"Did you enjoy your summer vacation?" SPOILER!!: Julia

There were candles floating in the air. And the ceiling was the sky. There was so much to take in, so many "why"s that needed investigation, that she just sat there with her mouth open.
Spotting a newly sorted first year girl that sat with her mouth gaping open and sitting too still, Helena got worried. Floating away from her seat to the girl's side she asked concerned
"Welcome to Ravenclaw, Are you all right dear? Can I help you with something?" If needed she'd call on one of the student leaders. Hopefully the girl was just awed and not sick.
SPOILER!!: TiaMarie

OH bless the young girl's soul, whom she met at King's Cross. "Rachel!!! Welcome!" She grinned at the first year. And then beamed at all the other first years whom she did not know, "Welcome, welcome, all of you!"
Last new student leader to arrive at the table was TiaMarie. Head Girl. Helena was so proud of her.
"Evening TiaMarie. Congrats to being appointed Head Girl by the Headmistress. I know you'll do great!" With those words she floated back to her seat.
