A voice knocked her out of this little mind bubble, but she was sure it meant nothing.

The voice called out again, and Clara swore that someone was saying her name. She turned to face the crowds at the Ravenclaw table and indeed, someone was trying to get her attention. So she wasn't just imagining things. Hadley (hopefully this was Hadley, or else this would be incredibly awkward) was a 2nd year that Clara hadn't really noticed all that much. Sure, she had been in the same House for a year, so they were on a name basis with each other, but, well...that was about it.

She noticed that Hadley was immersed in a conversation with some of her friends, but Clara was happy about the acknowledgement nonetheless. She waved back at Hadley, shouting, "Hey, Hadley! Hope you enjoyed your vacation!"

Sighing about what just happened, Clara began to mentally prepare herself for the coming year, thinking of the classes, the professors...but mostly the upcoming feast, which was making her stomach grumble noisily.

Suddenly, interrupting the hunger rumblings, Clara noticed a boy walking slowly towards her. She did not recognize him as easily as she recognized Hadley. Somehow his face looked slightly familiar, as if she had spotted him in the halls one time. Or it could have been someone else, perhaps. The boy was getting closer and Clara looked around for another face he might have been aiming for, but all the other students were engrossed in conversation. So yes, the boy was indeed walking up to her.

The boy asked if he could sit with her. He sounded like a nice person, judging by the tone of his speech. Clara let about a millisecond go by, trying not to overthink things before she nodded politely. "Yes, you can sit here! I'm Clara and um, I don't think we've met, but you're in Ravenclaw, so...what's your name?" Clara said, awaiting his response.

She let the wand fall into her hand, and then slipped into her pocket. "Oh, uh, hey..." A Hufflepuff boy she recognized from last year, but didn't know. Nor could she remember his name. Honestly, his presence was a bit of surprise. She hadn't expected kids from the other tables to come over yet. "I'm Hadley," she said, offering her hand, not to shake but to high five. Because that's how kids should greet each other, not the shaking hands frumpy adult way. Another voice drew her attention. Ah, she knew this kid well. She just never really noticed how short Azzy was last year. Odd. "Hey Az!" That was it. No how was your summer, because only prompt the midget to ask Hads the same question. And She didn't talk about it. Hadley glanced down at her shirt and smirked. "Thanks. I made it myself." Another girl sat down, one that Hadley recognized, given they were in the same house, but honestly didn't know all that well. What was her name? Claire...? Clara! "Hey Clara!" She returned her attention to Azzy and the boy. "I hope Moxxy keeps the speech short so we can get the food faster."

Chatting with her was easy and he’d arrived at the castle in what seemed next to no time. He promised to catch up with his new friend later, stowed his belongings quickly and headed to the great hall in preparation for the feast. Entering the hall, he wandered along the Ravenclaw table, smiling at some familiar faces, before spotting a pretty girl (Clara) who he did not recall seeing before around Ravenclaw Tower. She stood out in her quiet reverie at the far end of the table with the hub-bub of voices percolating around her. Intrigued, Sabbath approached her, leaning into her line of vision and breaking a dimpled smile. "Hola, I saw you sitting here alone. Do you mind if I join you?" he said to her in his accented English, gesturing to the seat beside her.
