Both corny and Oli were with her – she did feel sorry though, when she saw how upset Reese looked.

That boy needed a hug. – he also was in the dorm next to the kitchens…soooooooo maybe that could have a use? She wondered for a moment before a voice broke her from her reverie. Beth gave the other first year a shrug before turning her head toward Flynn and contemplating bugging him.

Nah, he looked busy ignoring people – and she had said she would help. ”its…from what my mum told me the feast only starts truly, after e v e r y o n e’s been sorted…and after a blithering speech from someone up there but m’not sure?” she looked up at Lydia for a moment and gave her a kind smile, ”nice to meet you…I’m Beth – just Beth despite what they said at the ceremony” she explained in an almost anxious tone.

Oh.

Great.

There was a ghost.

Beth simply looked up at the hoarse voice ghost for a moment and then turned her attention back to Lydia in a whisper she asked, [i]”is it just me or is he wearing a wig?”[/b] So…that was interesting – ”and if you want I can ask my…uh…acquaintance about the food situation see how long is should be?” she asked before adding, ”I already sort of met out prefect over summer…” then with a thought she added, ”best stay clear of him…looked like he was having a rough go on the train today” it wasn’t exactly a lie because…well, look at him he didn’t look exactly welcoming right now.

"I'm Lydia. Pleased to meet you," said Lydia. She smiled at the other first-year. Meanwhile, her stomach grumbled unhappily. "The Sorting's nearly over. I hope they get that speech over with soon."

Suddenly, a cold waft of air seemed to pass right by her. Lydia turned and almost fell off the bench in shock. There was a real live (ok, maybe live wasn't the best description) ghost floating at the table! And it didn't seem to be just any ghost either. This had to be the most intimidating ghost around, with his grim expression, and was that blood on his doublet? It was hard to tell with how shiny and silvery he was.

Lydia heard Beth call the ghost "his bloodiness." That was an interesting title. Summoning her courage, Lydia nodded politely to the ghost. "Hello, your bloodiness. My name is Lydia Beckett. It's nice to meet you. I..I like your wig."

With a great effort, Lydia tore her eyes away from the startling presence of the ghost and turned toward the older boy sitting not far away. He did indeed have a rather grumpy expression on his face. "That's our prefect?" said Lydia. "He looks...pleasant."

It was probably a good idea to introduce herself to her new house's prefect, but the older boy definitely did not look like he was in the greatest of moods. Lydia wondered if something had happened to him on the train. She knew that the prefects had their own compartment. Apparently some sort of drama had gone down. Lydia shook her head. She would not let things like that stand in the way of her success here at Hogwarts.

Before Lydia could make up her mind about introducing herself to the prefect, an older girl spoke to her and Beth. Lydia turned toward the girl and was startled to notice the Head Girl badge on her robes. This was even better! The Head Girl was from Slytherin? Lydia felt a swelling of pride. That would be her someday, she just knew it.

"Hello, my name is Lydia. Thank you. This is all really overwhelming, but I'm proud to be a Slytherin."
