Erica gave Lizzie room to hug Natka too. It was great to have her two friends around her. In seconds Lizzie was off bombarding Natka with questions. Sitting down in her seat again Erica poured Natka a glas of pumpkin juice to go with the cookies. Listening she mumbled "No, i think that's everyone if there arn't any people left to sort." Looking up at the staff table she saw that the sorting hat was gone and the professor's were eating. Smiling at Lizzie she said "Of course you should try out for the quidditch team, Lizzie. You'll be able to fly in no time when the flying lessons start and we all get some practice in. I'm sure."
Erica was glad that Natka had started to make friends in her own house. It wouldn't be fair if she and Lizzie made a lot of new friends and not Natka. Seeing a hint of nervousness in Natka eyes, Erica gave her friends hand a light squezze whispering in her ear. "Don't be nervous. Just be yourself. That's what i'm doing. And don't worry so much. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of new friends in Ravenclaw. If they arn't nice then Lizzie and I are here for you no matter what. I promise." Erica looked up at the staff table as Natka mentioned an welcoming speech. Shrugging she said "I don't know, probably when the headmistress has finished her dinner. I have no clue what the speech could be about. Maybe about school rules and new professor's?"
As Natka stood up to go back to the Ravenclaw table, Erica wished that her friend could have stayed throughout the rest of the feast. But as Natka said it was probably best if she heard the speech with her fellow housemates in Ravenclaw. Erica waved goodbye and then focused on her last lemon muffin hoping for the headmistress speech to come soon. She started to feel very tired from the eventfull day.
Lizzie also said goodbye to Natka, and turned back to the table. How much longer would it take for the staff to eat? She was full of food and delicious dessert, and felt her sleepy head bump from one side to another. What was it with her, she didn't wanna miss this. But still, a warm bed and a nice book wouldn't be wrong right now, she thought. With a sigh she looked at the stafftable, they all seemed to be eating, and talking.. Trying to do something while waiting, she turned back to her new friends.
"Hey, aren't you tired to? I feel like I could fall asleep any minute. But..." she couldn't come up with anything to say, so she went silent. How long had they been sitting there? At least, she didn't have to sit all alone, and for that she was very grateful. Her new friends were worth everything.
