Rachel walked through the doors of the Great Hall and gasped. It was magnificent. She stared in wonder at the four long house table, at the staff table and did a double take. "Well," she thought to herself, "This is why they hated Belle's so much. Hogwarts is amazing!"
Beaming at no one in particular, she made her way to the Ravenclaw table and sat down at an empty space fairly close to the staff table. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets as she looked in disbelief at the sheer amount and selection of obviously delicious food that surrounded her. Her stomach rumbled as she saw the steaks, chiken wings and soups. "Well, this is very nice!" she remarked to herself and tucked in, while gazing at stars above her in wonderment.
For once, she didn't care that she was sitting alone. It would probably bother her later.
