Lia would have been perfectly happy to in absolute silence for the entirety of the feast. In her mind the plan was to eat just enough to please her siblings and than make her way to the common room the first chance she got. That didn't seem to be what was going to happen however. From all the way over at the Slytherin table Tadhg had caught her eye. Not wanting to appear to sad, she smiled enough to appear alright, lifted her hand and wiggled her fingers at him.

Whoa, Kaira seemed really happy! "Hi," she greeted much more quietly her smile not as bright as the other girls. Oh, would you lookit that! The older floofy haired boy with the cat came back too. "Hello, Health. How is Rey?" Yup, she was asking about the cat.

Lia actually smiled a bit more than she had been so far. "That's great, Lisa. I'm really glad that you like them." If they were going to talk about music, that would be a topic she could get into. Blue eyes shifted from Lisa onto someone she remembered seeing over the summer (Evan). Had he just said Lisa was his sister? Ravenclaw siblings! Just like her and her brothers. She nodded and have him a tiny wave in return.

Her attention was pulled towards the staff table when the speech began. That must be Headmaster Trent. The REAL Headmaster Trent. Dahlia bit the inside of her cheek as she tried to listen to what was being said, yet not allow herself to be pulled back into the memories of it all. When told they could eat, she quietly focused on adding food onto her plate.
