The party had officially started once Professor Marchand gave his welcomes. Shay joined in the applause for the prefects and the fabulous job they did in preparing the party. Then it seemed that some of her housemates were going to change into "beach party" clothes. Noelle went off to change and was back so fast, Shay was sure that there had been some magic involved.

When Ava agreed that partying was indeed a Gryffindor thing. Shay laughed. "Well it looks like I have found a home ", she replied. She looked around at all of the fun being had and it felt good. She really did feel like she had found a home. Now, if she could just get to meet more of her housemates.

Shay's head nodded at the idea of Ava showing her the dorm. "Oh I hope so too", she said. It would really be nice to share a room with the two girls. They had been so kind to her and they both seemed really cool. Shay was looking forward to getting to know them better.
