Sam had opted to go drop off her books before heading to the Great Hall, and it appeared in the meantime that chaos had erupted in the Great Hall. Not least, that awful trashy music coming from the Gryffindor table. Her gaze sort out her bestie over there, an apologetic look at the fact they seemed​ to have copped the worst of it. She nodded at the suggestion Dora should join them over here, where there was less of such nonsense.

Mason and Chloe were even somehow managing to read through it all. Kudos to them, and maybe slight regrets at dropping off her her own study material.

Pouring herself a goblet of pumpkin juice, Sam surveyed the Americans that had joined them. "A racket," she commented to the nearest girl's (Maesi) question about what had been missed. Although maybe she wouldn't have referred to it as such. "I'm Sam. Welcome to Hogwarts and the Ravenclaw table. Hope the trip over wasn't too bad."

She could do friendly, just at a quieter volume than most of their foreign visitors. And for the record, British food could be FAR from bland. She hoped the elves would cook a good curry before too long.
