SPOILER!!: pre-food fight Haddie Quote:

Isn't that what the Hat had said? Something about the traits that made her suited to the other houses all stemming from her ideas and imagination? Or something like that. Okay so maybe she'd have to begrudgingly accept the Hat might have known what it was doing. But it still didn't have to be such a rude jerk about it!
Haddie realized she was sort of beaming in reaction to Penny's explanation. "Good. And I prefer Haddie actually." She smiled again.
Penelope smiled at Haddie. "Nice to meet you, Haddie." She would have talked to her more, but she had raffle tickets to hand out, other firsties to meet, and impending chaos to deal with.
SPOILER!!: Thornton Quote:

He searched around trying to find where Penelope had been sitting. Maybe she would know what to do???? But his attention was soon drawn by a rather... woesome Rooney. Despite their interaction on the train, Thornton felt quite bad for the boy and immediately went over to him, dodging.... was that a turkey leg??
"Rooney... come down and maybe we can fix it," he said, maybe pleading a little. "Mr. Kitridge must know a spell. I bet people spill things on books all the time." Especially give how little care some of their classmates had for pretty much anything.
He was grateful that there were some who chose not to get involved (Abby and Austin) and h'd never been so happy to have seen students (Chloe, Chris) head under the table....
Under the table. YES!
He scanned quickly again for Penelope. He hoped this was a good idea... "Everyone, if you can shield yourselves, great, but if not, get under the tables. You won't get hit with food that way... Get under the---"
The crack of thunder cut him off and Thornton looked up. Just in time for the rain to fall right on his face. .....or not. Rubbing his face with his hand, Thornton went and retrieved the tossed notebook, in case the younger boy regretted his discarding of it. Maybe he could fix it and it would get him in the boy's good graces. Who knew. He really couldn't be too bothered about the boy kicking the food, since it was no longer edible. But he supposed he was.. probably supposed to.
Getting everyone under the table was a good idea. The whole situation may not have been fully under control, but she thought Thornton was handling it well. There was little hope that she would actually get to eat any food. Maybe she could get one of the house elves to bring food to the common room later. Penelope would not be eating anything at the feast. She would try to round up any stray Ravenclaws who had involved themselves in the food fight.

Her robes looked like they'd been submerged in a pool, and the girl was shivering, finally feeling the effects of being soaked to the bone.
A lot of her table seemed to have taken refuge under the table, which was really starting to look like a great idea. She found her place between her cousin and Rachel, and casually climbed beneath the table. Despite how cold she was, she still grinning from ear to ear. "How amazing is this school!?" she asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.
Oh look, Haddie was coming back. "You shouldn't have gotten involved in the food fight." Just a warning for now. What mattered at the moment was getting everyone back to the common room safely. "We'll go back to the dorms and you can get cleaned up Haddie." Then Haddie would be in trouble for participating in the food fight.

What a horrible start to the term for the first years, misled to believe that food fights and rain were usual occurrences. "No, this sort of thing doesn't usually happen. Food fights are not encouraged, and it rarely rains indoors. Yeah, this is a good time to practice Protego." Perhaps not the best setting to be learning Protego, but good for those who already knew it.
SPOILER!!: Tia Quote:

New students after new students just filtered onto Ravenclaw and Tia was loving it! And especially cause majority of these new students seemed to be fitting right into Ravenclaw! Ugh, so happy. Like, Tia had no words, except that she should probably introduce herself.
"Hello, welcome, welcome! I'm TiaMarie, your Head Girl this year," But really Thornton and Penelope were the direct Ravenclaw prefects; she was supposed to be for everyone, not just Ravenclaws. Well that was unexpected. A hug? Really? Hugging the small girl back, she flushed at her kind words. "Sorry for not telling you at the Platform. It just didn't feel right yet, probably cause we weren't on the train. But thank you, Rachel." Such a sweetheart, this one was. She would do awesome things, Tia was sure of it. But before Tia had a moment to welcome or introduce herself to anymore first years, there was that Gryffindor kiddo Blaise starting a food fight. OH NO he did NOT. But Thornton had this under control, instructing the Eagles to not throw anything back.
Good, because not only was it a waste of good food, it was also showing them who was the bigger person by not sinking to their level.
At least she heard the Headmistress' speech before the food fight started; which involved them all getting up and moving and then introducing the new professors. A LOT of them, including, evidently, the HAG woman as Divination Professor. WHAT? Even though Tia was sure that the hag was actually the GOOD person here, it just seemed very unlike Hogwarts to not hire a pretty face. Well there were still plenty of pretty faces, but still... especially the new History professor. No time to dwell though, .... ........... because she was now WET. Perhaps the hag knew her divination after all. Making such ominous predictions and then the Great Hall starts THUNDERING AND RAINING.
They were all going to DROWN. And if they didn't drown, they'd die of pneumonia. And it was all her fault. Well not really, but she was HEAD GIRL and all she did was just stand there and watch and not do anything, because she just didn't know what to do. What kind of Head Girl WAS she?!?
The kind that hid under the table. With that, the seventh year grabbed whichever students were closest to her and dove with them under the table. "Quick, quick." Because it was safer and easier than impervious charms and because she just maybe had forgotten temporarily about her wand which was holstered.
Most of the Ravenclaws, including the head girl, were now hiding under the table. It looked like the feast was over, so now would be a good time to get everyone out of here and back to the common room. "Feast is over! You can come out from under the table now! Everyone who doesn't know the way to the Ravenclaw dorms follow me!" The feast had been exhausting for her, emotionally and from the food fight. Not to mention the food that was in her hair and that she was wet from the rain. Maybe she could arrange for the house elves to bring everyone food in the common room. She hadn't eaten anything, and she was sure that there were many other Ravenclaws who hadn't gotten a chance to eat before hiding under the table.
