SPOILER!!: Aria & Caes Quote:

It was only when Caes arrived at the Table did she carefully climb down from the bench. #SorryNotSorry, Headmaster Kazmi, for the disruption.
“I sort of knew you’d be a Slytherin,’’ Aria remarked brightly. “And I am VERY happy to be proven right.” Seated once again, her fingers merrily drummed away on the Table. “Yes. It gets boring when there are lots and lots of Sortees. Needless to say this year has been the best since mine.” Can you guess why, brother dearest? “Oh, the food more than makes up for the Sorting Ceremony. You’re going to have quite the time sinking your teeth into all the morsels.”
It was only now that Aria properly paid any attention to other Slytherins. “Hello, Bella! It was the best summer everrr.” That was putting it all mildly. “And you? Had any more of those Gobstones training with professionals?” Her eyes swept to Caes when he was asked if he was new. Aria really tried to hold her tongue. Alas, this was not to be. “He is, Bella! This is my brother.” Umm. At least you get to tell Bella your name, Caes. Quote:

Though he didn't really need to hear it, since his previous reputation more than made up for his house choice. "Well, that's promising. We were served mostly beef and soup type dishes at Koldovstoretz. It's not horrible at all, but does get old after a while."
He managed to suppress a chuckle at Aria being ready to show him off, "Hey Bella, I'm Caeson, but Caes is just fine. I was at Koldovstoretz beforehand." Was it okay sharing why he ended up here? Maaaybe some details wouldn't hurt. "Our grandparents decided that I should get a chance living out here before I graduate," There, that seemed to sum it up without giving all of his complicated history away. "Could say Aria and I are making up for lost sibling time," Plus he liked having a little mystery in the meantime.
If Bella had seen how Aria had stood on the bench and whistled during Caes sorting, then she would have wondered what had gotten into her fellow snakette. Aria didn't make spectacles of herself. Focusing on Aria she beamed excitedly "I did get to practice with some gobstone professionals at summer camp this summer, but the best of all is that I will be on the same junior quidditch league team as Apollo from now on." To be on the same team as her BFF was awesome and it'd make things easier. No more gob in her hair or feeling bad about her team winning over Apollo.
At Aria's reveal Bella looked from one sibling to the other as she now saw the McLeod family resemble. She had missed it at first. Beaming she said "It's nice to meet you Caes," Aria's big brother. "How much older than Aria are you Caes?" Because they weren't twins that was obvious. "You went to Koldovstoretz, cool! Did they teach you russian there?" Was it hard to learn another langage? Bella didn't ask Caes, because it probably was. Hearing the extra details she looked to Aria and stated "I'll envy you this year Aria. You'll have a brother here that can help you study for owls. I don't have any siblings that I can ask advice from." All though her parents had talked about trying to giver her a sibling, it had never had happened. SPOILER!!: Violet Quote:

She was immensely pleased with herself and with the world. She looked and dressed more confidently, no longer permitting her family to pick out school-girlish clothes for her but finding her own style. The first installment of her story had come out in Witch Weekly over the summer, with two more to follow, and she had even received some Galleons for her effort! (when, truth be told, she would probably have paid them for printing it). She's ignored her grandfather and Uncle Heraclitus' wishes and published under her own name, causing one of their spirited Blackthorne family "discussions" over dinner one night. But even though her grandfather grumbled, Violet could tell he was secretly proud of her, not only for her story but for standing up to him. Violet now knew her family really did love her, so she could overlook an argument now and then.
Violet had greeted Bella and Aria (Could a girl who stood on a bench and whistled right in the middle of the Opening Feast really be one of the subtle Slytherins? It must be true, because she was). And now Violet watched with curiosity as one of the newly-sorted snakes (Caes) came over to join them--not a first year, though, must be some sort of exchange student or something. But...this was Aria's brother? Violet didn't even know the other girl had a brother! But he seemed far less pushy exuberant than his sibling. Interesting... Switching her gaze to Violet as the older girl joined the table Bella said with enthusiasm and delight. "Congratulations Violet! I read your story in Witch Weekly, It was great. I didn't know that kids could get their stories published in magazines?" It was rare wasn't it? To Bella's knowledge children didn't get their stories run in papers or magazines just like that. This was a special event. SPOILER!!: Geode Quote:

Bella watched as a newly sorted firstie snake girl took a seat in the middle of the table, but was immediatly made to scoot over by Serena. That wasn't very nice of Serena. Feeling bad for the newbie Bella shot her a kind smile as she introduced herself. "Welcome to Slytherin! I'm Isabella, fifth year and you are?" SPOILER!!: Serena Quote:

Serena knew something was off, and it all started after she went to visit Jasper at his home. It was as if Thalia had been in disbelief that Serena actually went over. Serena had even asked her if there was an issue and instead of answering, Thalia changed the subject.
Serena hated it. She hated Thalia being upset with her.
This made the Slytherin’s mood plummet. She didn’t even bother hiding it as she sat at her usual spot after telling a first year to scoot. What a great start to a new term. The vibe that generated from Serena wasn't exactly festive and bright. The fourth year was in a visible bad mood which made Bella wonder what had gotten her feathers ruffled. Serena usually wasn't short with newbies. "Hey Serena," Bella called over in greeting. "Is everything all right? Want to talk about it?" If the other snakette felt like talking about whatever it was that was the cause of her bad mood then Bella could lend an ear. It was the least she could do on the first night of the new school year.
