She was a running a little bit behind schedule, which was not uncommon for the Gryffindor brunette. But she was also unphased by her lateness as she strode into the Great Hall just in time to hear Professor Carton's instructions. Quiz Bowl was not a usual Vera Thanatos type of event, but it was also something she hadn't ever really checked out before. And as this was the year of freedom, she planned on taking full advantage of it to experience every bit of Hogwarts that she possibly could. Which meant different clubs - though she was really only sitting in and shadowing meetings as opposed to officially joining. Being an official member would mean giving up the things she loved and already participated in and she was not looking to do that, thank you.

Glancing over the tables while she listened to Carton, all the Professor's got a wave over hello from her, as well as the students at the varying tables (though perhaps her smile might have been a bit brighter at the familiarity of Ary, Bryony and Aurora). From what she could tell, she did not see anyone at Gryffindor or Ravenclaw which was the places she would have preferred to sit (familiarity and all) but there was a solitary Anna over at Hufflepuff so Ve made her way that direction and slide into a seat by her younger friend. The directions sounded fairly simple, though she was already certain she'd get half of the questions wrong (probably by forgetting to press the button, honestly) but it should be fun all of the same. Plus, was that prizes she saw???

With no questions here, hazel eyes once more scanned the faces currently gathered before her attention shifted to the Hufflepuff. "Annaaaaa bo banana fi fy fo fannaaaa." She sang, smiling at the girl. "Want to start a group?" Vera wouldn't be offended if she did not - she was perhaps not the ideal teammate if someone was really aiming to y'know... win.
