 kyle, katy, james, valerie, & aurora
With raised brows, Jesús regarded Katherine with mild amusement. She definitely would be a good ally to have here at Hogwarts. "Trust me, we intended to have you all hear everything." If they wanted to keep quiet they would have, but Jesús was of the firm believe that psyching out his enemy was the best course of action. Especially if they considered him to be wholly ignorant and oblivious of his actions. He smiled, though, and turned towards James, who thought that being openly friendly was appropriate (he immediately regretted his previous action of calling him over,) but Jesús refused to let his facade falter. And so he smiled a friendly I'm-so-so-stoked-to-be-here-how-have-you-been? smile. He even showed his teeth. "Don't give away my secret," he whispered, giving James a look. "He's good though, I left him behind," which he was a hard thing to do, "and everyone is, well...," he trailed off and made a grand motion towards the table with all the music and commotion.
Kyle was onto something, alright. A talk with the ghosts would prove be essential in his infiltration of the school. "I'd really, really like to hear their story, actually." He really did wonder if the ghosts were here against their will; why wouldn't they choose to move on? What sort of binding contract did the school have with them? His questions didn't stop, even as the ruckus from the red and gold table had escalated. Jesús laughed, tried a bit of the food in front of him, deeply regretted that decision, and chugged some pumpkin juice to get rid of the taste. Professor Williams (the authoritative, disciplinarian that had it out for yours truly, clearly) had gone and done exactly what she does best: ruin the mood. Jesús groaned, loudly, to show his displeasure. "That was dramatic," he remarked, and turned towards Valerie, ready to say something cheeky, when Hawk-eyes Hawthorne aka the Oppressor started her speech. Wonderful.
He listened carefully, sort of zoned out during all of the theatrics, and then blinked several times when he'd heard the names revealed. Immediately, his eyes scanned to the Ilvermorny students who had been chosen alongside him. He was terribly excited, though he kept it contained, and instead opted for smug and mischievous sort of look. He was plotting, alright. "What a very dramatic yet very interesting turn of events," he said to Valerie and Kyle, "and I'm not even going to contain my shock over Aurora being chosen." The girl clearly had much more to offer than she let on. Jesús was entirely certain that Hogwarts was in for a rude awakening if they thought that Ilvermorny wouldn't aggressively compete and stomp out the competition.
