She was sweet and candid and mostly, just wanted to have a little fun after a year of stress and worry. Which is why, she had a small gift bag convenient with an undetectable expansion charm bearing gifts for new and returning Gryffindors. Or well, anyone who happened to be sitting at the Gryffindor Table, really, she wasn't about to deny them. "Heeeeyyyy Gryffindors!!! Who's ready for an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G yearrr??? I got ya all something to hold you over until..." apparently brats wasn't an appropriate term to use. "Until we get to the new baby cubs sorted. Welcome, welcome!" Reaching into her bag, she passed everyone present a small little red box wrapped in a golden ribbon.
And for those not present yet, she placed boxes on each of the place settings. Cause boxes for everyone! Within the boxes, you ask? Just some sweets and treats .... ooc: within each box is about three or four candies.... mixed with normal ones and normal-looking ones.... You're free to say which you got, but the normal-looking ones are assorted and laced with fainting fancies, nosebleed nougats, puking pastilles and fever fudge. Have fun ;D Yet another perky girl. So many perky girls. Was this entire house made up of perky girls? He again picked up his goblet to look into it. Maybe there really was something in the water? He wasn’t sure if he was going to survive this school transfer if every girl around him was perky.
Then again, at least they weren’t crying…
A box of sweet appeared on the golden plate in front of him. He stomach growled a little. When was dinner? Where they still waiting on the moldy old hat to finish up? He reached for the box of sweets, opened it and popped one into his mouth. Text Cut: Lucas Quote:

But he didn't really say very much until his eyes caught sight of some of the people who were newly sorted. Prefect Abra wasn't here anymore - sigh - but if he was here, he'd probably say hello and talk about the stars so..... Lucas was going to do the same. Clearing his throat slightly, he looked first towards a boy (Sammy) and said, "Hey! Welcome to Gryffindor. I'm Lucas."
And then his eyes found.........
....... oh. Oh.
Uh. Awkward? Yeah, he was. "Uh, heeeeeeey," Was that too long? "Eleanor. How did you like your sweets?" Which, well, wasn't the best way to start this, uh, conversation but he still wanted to know.
And speaking of candy......
Lucas JUMPED. He found himself looking instantly over at the source of the new sound, which was a liiiiiiittle louder than he would've liked. Maybe that's why he sat there, frozen and only hearing the sound of his own heartbeat over everything else. Was he saying anything? No. He just STARED at the older girl and her bag of- .... did she say sweets??
........ uh. ”Umm…you squeaked,” Sammy said leaning in towards the boy who had just sat down next to him. At least he wasn’t perky. Good, the boys weren’t perky. That was a plus. ”Samuil,” he replied popping a second sweetie into his mouth.
As he chewed, he looked around the table. People were still joining. People were walking around the hall. The head table was filling up with adults Sammy assumed were teachers. One, with kinda pretty brown hair that fell very very fair down her waist. He watched her for a few minutes. Then his attention was brought back to the table. ”Hey,” he said nudging the squeaky guy ”Who is that?” he nodded towards the adult lady (Professor Stewart)at the table. His nose felt like it was running. He wiped at it with a sleeve.
Only Lucas was busy staring at someone else. ”Ah….Lucas?” he poked the guy and lowered his voice. ”Stop staring at Eleanor.” This kid was weird, maybe he should focus on someone else. Making friends was hard. He wiped at his nose again, this time with his fingers and when he pulled them away, he found blood smeared on them. Why was he bleeding? He never got nose bleeds. He sat there staring at his fingers.
