Nobody had seemed to notice if the blonde had walked in slightly behind the others, nor the little head peeking out of her robe pocket. The Sorting appeared to still be going on, so she knew she wasn’t too late.
Nor was she too late to miss other things, glancing over as she had taken a seat near Nat at nearly the same moment the brunette Head Girl had chosen to threaten someone. Oh, she thought, turning her gaze to verify who had been threatened. Somehow she wasn’t too surprised, even if she’d only ever really had an awkward conversation with Colt. No matter, really. She hadn’t seen any pumpkin juice actually thrown, so things were okay.
She’d given the others around them a smile too. No need to be rude. Especially when there was at least one first year nearby. Whelp she was starting to think Cal might have skipped out on the feast. Maybe him and Vince were hanging out for Vince's birthday. Her eyes were wondering around the hall to see if she could find Vince when Ellie came into view. She smiled at her room mate and friend. "Hey" trying to forget Colt and the name issue. "How was your summer?"

Besides all of that, he heard that BOTH Head students were from Slytherin house, which had to mean awesome things. Approaching the house table, he set his eyes on a few students sitting in one particular area (everyone who's posted so far lol). "Hey! What's up?" he asked, taking a seat on the bench. Duuude. He was starving! "I'm Brent Westwood." Another new person sat down, but this time it was an older student. She watched as he sat and introduced himself. The name caught her attention. "Hello, I'm Natalia. Do you have a brother by chance?" She had met his brother this summer if that was the case. He was an adorable kid at the candy store. She wondered if he'd end up in this house too.

Plopping down next to her dorm mate, Sky beamed at Junia. "Have a nice summer??" She asked knowing they'd probably have a more indepth catch-up later that evening.
And there was Nat and Colt. Even thought Sky didn't know them terribly well, she did feel a swell of house pride knowing her house got BOTH head students this term! "Hey Nat! Colt!" She smiled at the two. "Congrats!"
And there was Katy too. She got a smile and wave too. Always good to see familiar faces. Like Elle, whom she vaguely recognized, got a wave too.
And new faces were present as well (Sinead and Jonas), to which Skylar waved at as well. "Hi there! Welcome! I'm Skylar!"
And another new face except not really because she'd met him on the train. Apparently Brent had been sorted in Slytherin, which truth be told from her five minute chat with him, wasn't all too surprising. "And we meet again. Welcome to slytherin!" See. She could be non-sarcastic.... sometimes Hearing her name again she turned her eyes down the table at Skylar. "Thank you. Did you have a good summer?" She was really enjoying the social for once. This was not to bad.

He wondered he could get away with more stuff. Right? Enough with all the introductions, where were the grand feast everyone kept talking about in the train. Growling stomach meant grumpy James. Come on ....speeecch already. Oh this was another new one, but she knew him. "Do you really think you are going to sit down and not speak. Really? After kissing my hand and everything this summer?" Yes she knew him, she remembered him at the shop. "Hi James, welcome to Slytherin."

Ooc:Music album right? Nat smiled as he said he loved the album. "I'm so glad. I was hoping it was your type of music. I get to see so many albums while putting them back and organizing. I always get the first dibs on things." Not really, but she liked to feel like she could.

He tentatively gave his fork a poke.
Okay. Good. Just a fork. He was nervous after that hat incident. Shudder.
He relaxed and had a more proper look. There seemed to be snake insignia. Hopefully nobody around here had a snake phobia. That would be awkward. He couldn't help but wonder what the snake meant. Maybe there was a "house" pet? No, that didn't make sense. The other table had a lion. They wouldn't give someone a lion and someone else a snake. That was not the way to treat children.
He then scanned the head table. He assumed those were the teachers. Interesting. There seemed to be a few.
Which... made sense when he thought about it. He did have to buy a lot of books, which meant a lot of classes, which meant a lot of teachers.
He glanced back at the "sorting" wondering if anyone he met over the summer would be a snake thing too. So many first years this year. Was it the year of the ickles? They were kind of cute like little puppies, but she knew puppies peed on the carpets if you didn't watch them, so Nat moved towards the next first year she saw get sorted. "Hi welcome to Slytherin. I'm Natalia your Head Girl." She really couldn't help saying it now. It was just starting to be routine.

Katy wanted to have fun, at least. And having two big shiny badges in their house meant even less fun than usual. "I think you will," she sighed heavily. "I think this is the end of good times for us. Are you in the market for sleeping draughts?"
What. Was. This? A Brent? He was called Brent? Katy propped her chin on her hand and gave him a slooooow look. "Hey, there, Brent. What's that accent? Are you always this cheerful? Have you considered adjusting your Pepper Up dosage?"
She watched Katy with amusement. Did Katy really think she wouldn't be the same person. There was one thing that Nat was it was Nat. She couldn't just turn into a full goodie goodie. Leaning over the table a bit with an amused smirk, "I think you are old enough now. I'll show you some tricks this term." Winking at her she chuckled a bit. That was until the girl said about sleeping draught, "No, I don't think I'm in the market for them at the moment. Tell me about your summer? Any new boyfriends?"

He shrugged innocently and smirked. "Well then if you pour pumpkin juice on me, I mean only fair to fire back. My payback might not be PG as using pumpkin juice though.." Just a warning there fellow head girl. If you fight fire with fire you will get burned either way. "But seriously what do you say to the ankle biters coming in here..?" he asked. "I mean they are so tiny.." he said observing some of them. They really thought she was leadership with this one? Like really head of house? Her boyfriends nerd word was ringing in her ears. "Try your best Colt, I will always win." She gave a sly grin, come on she was Natalia Franks-Mundie. She could use so many tricks against him. She was taught well in some ways. He wouldn't even know what hit him. She glanced around at the first years coming in. "For starters hello works." Really? Him? They had to pick this one?

Since he didn't know everyone's names, he just offered a small wave to the people around him. "Hi, everyone! Good to be back, yeah??" Though he really had an amazing summer, he was excited to finish up his final year at Hogwarts and move on with whatever his life would become.
Still no boyfriend Natalia was really assuming he snuck off with Vince. RUDE he could have at least invited her. Though they both knew she had to be here. She couldn't miss the feast being head girl. It was her job now. So yeah.. she could see why she wasn't invited, but still she wanted to be. Anyway she noticed a familiar face and smiled. The best friend's brother always got a smile. "Hey Oliver".

Maybe everyone will get burned out quickly and settle down before it got too annoying. Just as she was saying hello to Oliver the face she had been looking for the entire time came into view. Her smile grew seeing him. The summer break up was long forgotten and she was glad it was all worked out. Watching him find a seat and staying quiet she walked up behind him and put her arms around his neck. "Hey did you know that special Slytherins got kisses from the head girl? It's only the super special ones though." She sat down beside him and leaned in to give him that kiss. "I was starting to think you and Vince ditched the feast without inviting me." Yes she had her eyes at the Gryffindor table as well.
