Ewan may not have been a first year, and perhaps his 'how was your summer' should have given it away. Shera was too oblivious to notice any of the things that pointed towards Ewan not being a first year. It was going to be that way until he pointed out the truth to her, or someone else told her about her mistake first. At least they could laugh about it then.

"Pretty good," she responded, beaming at the younger boy. Summer was always fun. This one more so considering she knew that she'd be back at Hogwarts. "How was your summer Ewan?"

Shera had expected that maybe Hanna would have the same issue and have trouble remembering what her name was. But somehow the other Ravenclaw didn't. In fact, the other Ravenclaw hadn't even said anything about Shera not being there for an entire year. Somehow, Shera was happy about that. She grinned at the other girl. "It was great! Didn't get up to all that much though. How was your summer?"

Her blue eyes shifted at the sight of a new arrival (Alastair). "Hey there, welcome to Ravenclaw!" she greeted, beaming at the first year. Could she get a smile in return? "My name's Shera by the way, nice to meet you! How are you feeling?"

Shera's head tilted to the side as what the Grey Lady had said was sinking into her mind. Inferi had attacked? What had happened over the last year? Clearly she picked the wrong year to go missing. Her eyes darted across the hall in order to see if she could quickly locate all the other people that she could remember, including Professors. There was no way that she could work it out though. "Inferi attacked Hogwarts?" she repeated, completely dumbfounded at the thought.

Then another first year (Thadius) caught her attention asking another boy (Drew) about a colourful thing that he was holding. "So, uh, how does one solve it?"
