 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Isabella overheard someone else say they were a first year and peered around her until she spotted someone equally young. "Hi Randi!" she said, disregarding all the people between them because this was a fellow first year Hufflepuff girl, and maybe they would be best friends. "I'm a first year too!" Then, to both Miranda and the people directly around her, she remembered to introduce herself. "My name's Isabella."
She grinned at the boy who sat next to her when he introduced himself and answered her question. "Thank you, Carl," she said gratefully. Gosh, she was really glad he hadn't poked fun at her for double-checking on which table this was. As several other people came over to the table and greeted the people around her, Isabella couldn't help thinking she'd gotten in the right house. Everybody was talking to everybody, and Isabella loved talking. To anybody. She liked everybody. Usually. Looking around the Great Hall, Isabella noticed all the teachers gathered at the teacher table. Wait. Was that a cat? She frowned and squinted to see better.
"Why is there a cat at the front table?" she asked the people around her. People who could tell her if the cat was normal or not. It didn't seem very hygienic to have an animal in the dining hall, after all.
