She only hoped she had remembered to make sure their carriers were locked closed after ensuring they had some fresh water and food.

Time to mingle and recruit some new snakes for quidditch though .... and it seemed a couple ickles were already present, as was Kye and Patrick and Professor Vance. So exciting!!! And hopefully Kye wouldn't mind the new addition, that she hadn't exactly gotten permission for, but hey, what was seventh year without living a little on the edge, right? And it wasn't like she was irresponsible, for Merlin's sake, no. Just as long as she was careful ... she didn't foresee any problems. "Hey Kye! Patrick! You two ready for tryouts?" Because she was most definitely counting on them trying out again; Kye basically killed it last year as chaser with Zarina and Junia.

And a look to the two new first years that she hadn't a chance to meet yet (Beth and Lydia), "HEYYYYY, welcome to the best house! I'm Skylar Diggory and I'm the Slytherin Quidditch Captain, so you both should come tryout. We're recruiting for the best, obviously, cause we'd like to keep the cups again." Oops, was that too much rambling? Ah well, best break them in early - as in, on the first night, yea?

Also, what was that noise? Blink, Blink. Suddenly, the seventh year found her gaze averting towards her dorm. Uh oh, hopefully Vance didn't hear that?

Lydia noticed the arrival of a cheerful 7th year girl. After she greeted Professor Vance and some of the other older students, she turned to Lydia and Beth and started talking about Quidditch. Lydia wasn't particularly sure yet if she was interested in that or not. She had only a very vague idea of what was involved, but she knew it involved flying, and she'd had absolutely no practice at that yet!

"Nice to meet you, Skylar," said Lydia. "I'll definitely think about trying out. Is it true that Slytherin won both the House and Quidditch cups last year?"

Maybe, maybe it was time to pester her cousin for candy so she could start a little operation in the dorms? Candy for money or candy for secrets.

Secrets could help her establish a means of…working the system she’d know which buttons to press with the right kind of secrets. Turning her head she gave Kye a kind smile ”mmm, yeah a bit? I didn’t eat much at the feast – I’m Beth by the way” she introduced herself with a small smile. Oooooooooooooooh this boy had an accent – Beth loved accents.

Looking over at Patrick she just smiled ”Hey! Hi…I’m Beth” she wasn’t trying to be anything but friendly. Friendly, for her seemed to always come like a double edged sword….oooh LYDIA WAS HERE - yeah. Sure she was excited to see her again the girl seemed nice and could probably pull off that edgy-cool look Beth always longed for. ”Hey again Lydia” Beth’s coy smile was already in place. ”don’t worry I won’t call you that nickname…its awful” Beth said finishing her conversation from the kitchens – ”I was thinking more Dia or Lyd,” she smiled over to her kindly. Heck, she could even call her Beckett, nicknames didn’t have to be shorter after all.

Beth almost moved closer to her when the tall almost intimidated (so far) Quidditch Captain started talking to her. ”—are you guys really that good? Could you keep it…I mean if you got the best recruits out there of course?” she asked only truly somewhat interested in the sport. She was more interested in why the Captain had looked toward the dorms? What was going on there?

Taking a moment she glanced around and spotted the girl that talked to Flynn at the feast and debated heading over to talk to her. She’d likely be her dormmate after all, she’d seen her getting sorted. Considering it for a moment Beth stepped closer to the girl, her cool kind smile still in its place. ”Hey…so” she paused for a moment ”nice name do you have any nicknames?” cause pfft, those were imperative here.

Lydia smiled at Beth. "Thanks," she said. "Lyd isn't too bad I suppose." She noticed Beth glancing toward the dorms after the Quidditch captain had done so. Intrigued despite herself, Lydia considered heading to the girl's dormitory to see what, if anything was happening. And it wouldn't be as if she was being nosy or anything. After all she did need to start unpacking her trunk that had been brought down here earlier by the house elves.
