Torii gave her Head of House a genuine smile. She hadn't really expected him to remember her name, but he had. "Thanks," she said, and she walked further into the room and stopped in the thick of the crowd of other Slytherins. She didn't know much about Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, but she was really loving being a Slytherin.

Then suddenly, there were lots of people talking to her, and it made Torii feel even more welcome. She still wasn't ready to accept Hogwarts, but this sure made it easier. Turning to Patrick, she gave him a little shrug in answer to his question. "It's...been nice," she said. Really, it had been awesome, but again, she wasn't ready to admit that. "How's Quidditch coming along?"

She turned her attention to Max and nodded. "Yeah, I'm Torii. You're Max, right?" she asked. Because, who didn't know the name of one of their house leaders. Then there was Natalie, which meant all three of their house leaders had greeted her now. Had that been out of obligation, or were they really being friendly? She wanted to believe it was the last one. "Hey, Natalie," she said with a smile.
