Octavia Stark hadn't had much time to be excited for school all summer. Most of it she spent worrying over her parents, and the other part she was enjoying what little time left she had in England. So it was a BIG surprise to the little girl when she finally said all of her goodbyes and boarded the carriage, that she was in fact, VERY excited and VERY nervous about starting school. She didn't know what to expect! Had it been Hogwarts, things might have been different. But it was Beauxbatons, and even with all of her reading Octavia didn't know everything about the school like she did Hogwarts.

She most certainly did NOT know about the lounge. Peeking around to make sure she was allowed to be in this room, the twelve year old put on her bravest face and walked into the room the same way her parents walked into any room, like she owned it. Except not so close to any older students she didn't know. And she wanted a big table by the windows.

Settling in to a comfy chair with a big table by the window, she kicked her feet a little and waited, looking around and counting in her head. Tavie had told her friends that she would find them all seats so that they could ride together and not be alone on their first ride to school.

She just hoped they all showed up.
