That was until she saw the everso adorable first year boy from History of Magic. The one who was on the verge of tears about the prospect of being evil. He didn't seem so upset now though, which Sky decided was a good thing.
Approaching him as he scanned over the announcements, Skylar found herself placing a hand on his shoulder in sort of the caring way. "Happy Christmas! I haven't formally met you, but I was struck by your sweet innocence in History of Magic. I'm Skylar, by the way." She said by way of introduction. "Welcome to Hogwarts. And Slytherin." Only like four months late, but better late than never.
Carlton beamed.
"Happy Christmas!" He did a little shake for the bells to jingle. Then he suddenly got all kinds of embarrassed. His 'sweet innocence' in History of Magic.
"I- Well- Uhm, yes." He fingered on his sleeve, self-consciously.
"Yup, I know who you are." Not creepy at all.
"I'm Carlton."
He shone up when she welcomed him to Hogwarts. No one had officially done that. So that was nice.
"Thank you! It's nice, the professors have cookies in class and there are house elves." Of course, Skylar already knew this, being older and all.
"And Slytherin isn't so bad. The house colors matches my outfit." Shaky, shaky, shaky. "But... I didn't know those things Kitty said about the founder." Honestly, he was still quite shaken about that. She'd used the word
murderer.
