She had a huge pile in front of her (sort of BRIBING others to come talk to her, yes) and she noticed her dorm mates seated nearby. She wanted to talk to them, but when she opened her mouth, her throat constricted and her tongue got all dry. Why was she so scared?

There was a boy there, too - Slytherin, she had just watched him get sorted. She tried yelling over at him: "I can make you a green one, if you want?" while gesturing at her crown, and was surprised when her voice worked. Why was she so strangely anxious??

Anyway. She slid her lipgloss out of her pocket and smoothed some more on. Fake it til you make it, yeah?
This girl had on a paper hat, and it had Bastien perplexed. Was this a thing that Hogwarts did, or just gryffindor? He glanced around at all the kids around him and decided it had to be a gryffindor thing.

He examined her (and her hats) for a moment before nodding his head. "Sure. Can you make one for my sister as well? She's also a Slytherin." No way he could return to his table without having a hat made for her.

No point in introducing himself, Char had done that for him.

Charlotte shrieked excitedly and wrapped her arms around him. "Look, Katy got Slytherin TOO!" She pointed over at the younger blonde Toussaint girl and then sat down and just generally beamed all around at everyone, making sure they saw she was claiming family right here.

"I don't know! I don't know its so exciting I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE!"
Not true, she was breathing just fine, but DRAMATICALLY. This was A BIG EXCITING DEAL.

"You have to visit MINE actually because mine is UP in the towers really high aand yours is in the dungeon and there are no fat Gryffindors because you have to walk up a LOT of stairs and you don't want to get fat so you should walk up them and come see me."
Obviously, Bast.

"I saw!" There was no one more proud of her than him. It was the best house, and it also made it much easier for him to watch over her. No needing to sneak into other common rooms. He gave Char a good old squish, and sat down beside her when she did, happy to be claimed.

Her excitement had him grinning a little. She fit in with this whole easily excitable house. "I'm not worried about getting fat, Char. I'm the fittest person here." All those miles he ran in the morning and his daily workouts kept him in top shape. "You need to come and see me because dungeons sound much cooler than a tower."

..... a food fight? After the speech?

OKAY SURE!

And then the speech was happening an there was food and Char DID want to eat it but also she was instantly caught up in things and therefore smooshed BOTH HANDS INTO A BOWL OF TOMATO SOUP AND FLUNG HANDFULS AROUND LIKE CRAZY, especially at that yelling boy (Yoongi) because he was yelling and because Blaise was targeting him and Char DIDN'T actually know who he was but he was OBVIOUSLY a party pooper so HAVE SOME TOMATO SAUCE, BIG PARTY POOPER!

She jumped up on the bench seat and roared.

Zander Adair would be SO proud of her!
There was a ghost at their table, and a speech was given that put food on their empty plates, which was nice, except for the fact that some lunatic decided now was the time to have a food fight.

Didn't Chloe warn him about this?

He probably should have taken her more serious, considering he was sitting beside his cousin and her housemates who were ALL into wasting food.

Soup got flung on him, and he pulled a face, wiping a bit of it off his face.

Bast would just put up a shield and then he would be....

And then...came the rain. The steady unpleasant fall of cold rain upon the entire Great Hall.
Bloody. Hell.

It was raining on them. Because of a food fight that he wasn't involved in? First night at Hogwarts officially sucked.

Soaked, and smelling like tomato soup, he inclined his head at Char and the other girl who was going to make him a hat. "Maybe I'll get that hat later." Was all he said as a way of goodbye before he rose and stalked over to the Slytherin table to retrieve his little sitter, and leave the hall.
