Okay so, one moment there were a little group of Gryffindors. Next, there was a whole swarm. But this was per usual since it was the opening feast and because everyone was trapped put in one spot. Noelle took it in stride, and to be honest, her mind was cleared due to the fact that so much was happening at once. It was a good thing.

Noelle's eyes tore away from the staff table for now. She would look back once the Headmistress' speech started. She glanced down the table noticing Dora had moved away and then proceeded to another table. Aslan and Jessa (who she knew from classes) were talking together too. If we were being honest, Noelle was a little intimidated by them, but she gave them a wave and a smile anyways. That is, if they saw.

Someone sat beside Ava and her. Noelle glanced and gave a smile at the newcomer. Taking the time out to listen, she quickly learned her name was Shay. "Hey Shay, welcome to Gryffindor. Yeah, we're proud. And Im Noelle." Instead of Shay introducing herself again, Noelle let her know she knew her name. Gorgeous name and gorgeous girl. "Where are you transferring from?" She asked just in case she hadn't already heard Ava.

Speaking of Ava, she was picking on her again. Noelle gave her a light, crooked grin. It was genuine. "Havent caught any troublemakers yet." That was teasing. She nudged her friend and took a second to whistle and welcome more Gryffindor cubs lions (Leona and Jason). Ace was already introducing them and asking them to accompany them after the feast, right so. "Welcome to Gryffindor!" She said proudly.

(Sammy) was given a wave too. She seemed sad. Noelle knew the feeling even though a big grin was on her face.

Okay, her cheeks were hurting from all this smiling. Some fake, some real.

"Levi Kenning." Levi got full named since he used her full name. He got a grin. "Good summer then?" She'd seen her friend over break but it was polite to ask right? Whoa. More Gryffindors. And also a Bentley. He also got a wave. They hadn't really talked much but that was here nor there. "Hey Bentley" She called out, before something was placed in front of her and Mel was speaking. "Hey Mel" Noelle grinned at her friend. "What's this?" She asked taking it and lifting it. Mel was a bit of a prankster so she was cautious.

Lastly, Noelle caught a bit of a sight. Someone spraying a boy with a perfume. Noelle couldn't help but giggle because... it was rather funny. "Welcome to Gryffindor!" Another cheery face.

As much as Noelle was trying to stay uplifting, she really just wanted to go to the training room and punch something. Her outer appearance didn't show that though, and being amidst everyone, you were sure not to notice. Masks were a funny thing.

By the way, her stomach was still growling.
