SPOILER!!: Bella

Violet noticed Bella's look at Nem's cast-off robes. "Just leave them there--after all, they did. Either they'll retrieve the robes themselves or the House Elves will, but I wouldn't worry about it." Focusing her attention on the girl's response to her small talk about the Celebration, she caught the mention about the creature booth and felt a pang of envy. "No, I didn't get to go there, we thought it might be too much excitement for Uncle Horatio. I'd really have like to have seen it, though--I hear there were a lot of really great demonstrations."

SPOILER!!: Max

Violet's attention turned to a first year Snake newly arrived at their table, and she turned to welcome him. Because that's what upperclassmen did, and, astronishingly to her, she found herself now an upperclassman. "Hi, there--welcome to Slytherin, and congratulations on being sorted as a Snake!" She would have said more, but she heard the Headmaster start his speech and abruptly shut her mouth and turned to listen to Trent.

There may have been a brief glance over at the Slytherin table but...he was mostly talking to everyone.

Oh no, did he just glance over at their table? He'd better keep an eye on the Gryffindors, they seemed to be up to most of the trouble so far this year. Listening to the new staff announcements sobered Violet somewhat. Both of the teachers she'd managed to create a bond of trust with were gone, and replaced by a couple of unknowns--Professors Applewood and Hernandez. She hoped she could get along with the latter, Potions being one of her favored, and strongest, subjects. Otherwise this was going to be a very long year. On the other hand, she was pleased to see that Jordan Strum was back teaching Ancient Runes, another favorite subject, and one she felt she'd neglected last year.

As Violet heard this last, she snorted softly under her breath. As far as she was concerned, the less they saw of the Board, the better. By now she'd found out just whose idea it was to have that incompetent so-called Healer Poppy forced on the school--the same one who had made her sick and fog-brained for a good deal of the year. She was still feeling the after-affects of her allergy, even though she'd been away from the calming potion, or whatever it had been, and she was worried it would hamper her preparations for the O.W.L.S. at the end of the year. Whatever new thing the Board was working on, Violet was automatically against it.

But then, interrupting this gloomy train of thought, there was food, and Violet put all other considerations, both trying to be social and brooding over past injuries, aside as she tucked in. Food had only recently started tasting good to her again, and she couldn't wait to enjoy the start of the year feast.

Should they leave them for the house elves to bring up? Glad for the distraction Bella switched her gaze over Violet with a smile. "Hi Violet, I went to the food court and Memorial Garden too. My parents knew some of the people that had died in the war so we went there to leave flowers." Going to cemetaries or the like always made her sad. Trying to perk up she asked. "Did you visit the creature adoption booth too?" Violet noticed Bella's look at Nem's cast-off robes. "Just leave them there--after all, they did.

As he did, he looked around. There was sooooo much to see! Floatung candles illuminated the entire hall and the cieling looked like the night sky. When the sorting hat had put him in Slytherin (no surprise, his whole family was in Slytherin), he headed over to the slytherin table to have a seat.
