This.. was going to be one whirlwind of a year. It was her OWLs year. And Jude's final year. Also Lia and Elias'.. but.. Jude. That in itself was enough to hurt her heart and ruin her year but she was trying hard not to let that be the focus of the feast. Things were good, great in fact. She was still with Liv and with Charlie, the latter of the two now also here at Hogwarts! And for that, Keigh couldn't have been more excited. Even if it meant she would have to make some major changes in her usual schedule and divide her time between certain special people. She would manage it though.

Had spent a small portion of her time after getting off the train with both Liv and then Charlie, promised to see them after the feast (unless Char was sorted into her house). Now she was happily hand in hand with her big brother, as per usual for them. Giggles, giving his hand a squeeze in return. "I know! I can't wait to see where he ends up. Maybe he'll be with us?" she could hope, right?

With her gaze following that of Jude's, the blonde took in all the faces at the staff table, including their cousin Hady. Swings her gaze to each table checking for her family and friends.. a bright smile to the girlfriend. Slips down onto the bench beside Jude, her eyes back on the front for the sorting and seeking out Char, handsome boy that he is.

Slowly seats were taken up at the table and she sent each person a warm smile and some that were further away for a little wave too. The newest little badger at their table had a very familiar last name of someone she knew and liked. This had to be Ashley's little brother that she had heard about. Hi there, Brandon, right?" she smiled. Wouldn't mind helping a Hufflepuff out!

Between greeting her fellow housemates, Keigh still had one eye on the sorting waiting on Charlie.
