SPOILER!!: Haddie, Lex, Janelle, and the Grey Lady(!)

Julia distributed waves around the table, generally losing her glazed expression as she focussed on the task of meeting everyone. She was not going to remember any of these names, she didn’t think, but she was prepared to make the effort anyway.

When another girl—Janelle—introduced herself, Julia’s voice was almost entirely non-distracted as she replied, “I’m Julia. Did… did it take you a long time to get used to all this?”

All this magic everywhere. She supposed some students must be used to it; those who were from fully magical families or whose parents had taken them to Diagon Alley to shop instead of ordering everything by post. But then, looking around, she could see that all of the older students seemed perfectly relaxed in their surroundings, and surely some of them were from half-and-half, even fully Muggle families.

Like this boy. He seemed fairly calm, if quiet, and Julia shook his hand too, "Nice to meet you, Lex. I'm Julia."

Hey look! Her manners had wandered back from the fog too! She nodded to him, "I just got here. This is all... it's all very different, don't you think?"

Right when she was feeling like adjustment to all this in-your-face magic was possible…

O____O

Ghost!

And right back to slack-jawed she went. Her father had been trying to get a ghost to come haunt their house for over a decade—having even made the suggestion once, under the influence of entirely too much butterbeer, that her aunt might be so kind as to perish in a devastating manner and oblige him—but so far nothing had come of it. Actually seeing one in the not-flesh was yet another reminder that Hogwarts was going to be nothing like what she’d encountered before.

“Hi.” It came out as an almost reverent whisper. Given her father’s descriptions of various scenarios that caused people to become ghosts, she hadn’t thought that a ghost would be so pretty.

"That's Gary," she nodded to Garreth, sitting on the same side as Kitty and Julia. *"And Rachel and Elsa,"* she gestured to the girls sitting on either side of her. Then Haddie turned back to Kitty and shrugged. "I don't know. I guess, maybe, I do." She shrugged again. She probably did have a style that was her but what that style was she really didn't know.

Hopefully the girl was just awed and not sick. Quote: Originally Posted by Daydreamer11 There were more friends and firsties to greet, so Janelle moved on. She knew just who she would approach next. There was one new girl who looked overwhelmed at best, terrified at worst. She walked up to the first year (Julia) with a smile, trying to look as non-threatening as possible. "Hi, I'm Janelle. Welcome to Ravenclaw. I'm sure you're going to love it here." She dicided to stop talking and give the girl a chance to speak. Maybe she had some questions she might want to ask. Who knew? At least she hoped that the girl would feel comfortable and not afraid.
