She glanced towards the Staff Table hoping that Headmaster Trent would be speaking soon. Fiona needed to remember the names of the new faculty members and she had to admit that she was rather famished. "That’s great to hear Fiona," Bella mumbled kindly in response, holding one hand over her loud sounding stomach. It was weird that nobody had noticed it’s hungry sounds yet. Slytherins usually kept things to themselves so this one time Bella was thankful. Looking across the table at Fiona she replied quietly. "I had a good summer. I went to a quidditch camp and got to visit my grandparents." She also had spent a lot more time than usual with her mother, which was nice. SPOILER!!: Maya Quote:

What about yourself?" Food please? Staring down at her empty plate, did seem to help the food appear. Bella was very tempted to use her wand to give her at least a handful of chips to chew on. Was it just her or did it take unusually long before Headmaster Trent gave his speech? Turning to Maya she smiled "It’s nice to see you again too Maya." Manners. "I thought the festival was a lot of fun too, especially the bumper cars." She did not mention the horrible mirror maze. SPOILER!!: Violet Quote:

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." Bella had given Nem’s deserted robes another look when she heard Violet’s comment. Looking over at her peer she nodded "Sure, I’ll leave Nem’s robes to their own fate." It seemed easiest after all. Bella didn’t want to get in the middle of something that wasn’t her business. She was glad for Violet’s change of topic and said happily. "Yes, they showed lots of cool creatures like jarvey’s, kneazles and crup’s. I wish I could have adopted one but my mum didn’t let me." SPOILER!!: Max Quote:

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. A newly sorted snake made his way over to take a seat. Bella noticed his big eyes, trying to take everything in at once. Had she been like that in her first year too? Probably. "Welcome to Slytherin! I’m Bella, third year." she greeted with a small smile pursing her lips. Before she could say anything else Headmaster Trent finally stood up to give his speech and she listened in silence. SPOILER!!: Headmaster's speech Quote:

"I can assure you all, there will be enough to do without you making unnecessary trouble for yourself and the school staff."
There may have been a brief glance over at the Slytherin table but...he was mostly talking to everyone. "On that note, when you see something that shouldn't be happening, don't simply mill about and let it happen. Find someone if the situation is too much for you to handle but it's everyone's responsibility to see to the rules being followed as best they can. I don't want anyone drawing their wands at each other, no fighting either. If you can't resolve it with words, find a professor." And while that was meant for his lions, it also went for everyone else. "I'd like to take the time to welcome our new members of staff. From the right, we have Professor Jordan Strum reprising his role as Ancient Runes Professor after his year away from the castle, Professor Mia Paszek will be taking over the role of Care of Magical Creatures while Professor Simon Holden will take on the role of History of Magic. In Muggle Studies, we have Rosalee Applewood as professor and Javier Hernandez as Potions Master." He paused between each, allowing them time to acknowledge themselves for the students before continuing on to the next. "We should all also expect to see a bit more of our Board of Governors this term. We will be beginning a project within the week. Look out for more on that, later." He didn't even cringe, see? He was coping. "For the new among us, I'd like to make mention of a certain forest at the very edge of the school grounds. Real big, hard to miss, very forbidden. It's not the place for a stroll or a picnic or an adventure. Don't go in there. You may be eaten or end up wishing you were." While he considered whether he'd save them or not. "Lastly, I do hope you have a good term. Get some sleep, it's been a long day and you'll be seeing me first thing in the morning. Falling asleep in my class is....rather il-advised. Now then, let's eat!"
And just like that, there was food. His favourite part of the feast. Bella didn’t know what to think. The brief glance over at her table when Headmaster Trent reminded them about the school’s rules was not comforting. Feeling unease creep up her spine, she reminded herself that she was a good snake that kept in line and followed the rules. Bella didn’t need to be reminded to seek out a professor when the trouble was too great for them to handle on their own, she was seeking out Professor Euka first chance tomorrow. That the Board of Governors would be more visible this term was a little alarming considering Healer Poppy. Bella was super relieved when the food appeared and attacked the food with energy.
