"I'd probably get lost too," She said with a giggle. She definatley thought LouAnn was nice. She smiled at her and opened her book. She found it was a bit hard to consentrate, and so she slamed it shut again.
"So do you have any siblings here at Hogwarts?" She asked.
LouAnn nodded when Mikaela confirmed that she was a first year. "Well, I'd welcome you to Hogwarts, but I'm actually new here myself, sooo...yeah. I guess we can learn the ropes together," she suggested. LouAnn glanced back out at the corn maze, wondering if anyone had dared to challenge it just yet. From where she was, she couldn't see deep down inside of the maze. That was probably the point, though---being able to see right through it wouldn't have been much fun at all. When Mikaela asked about siblings, LouAnn turned back to her and shook her head. "I have a little brother named Lucas, but he's only ten, so he'll be here next year," she answered. She assumed Lucas would be getting a letter inviting him to Hogwarts, at least. "Do you?"

"So many unfamiliar faces," LouAnn thought to herself, watching as yet another person she didn't know sat down near her. She'd made it a personal goal of hers to try and make as many friends as possible, because A, she imagined not being very social was really rather lonely, and B, because she only had a limited amount of time here and wanted to make it last. "Hey, Alexandra. I'm LouAnn Purple, a fifth year," she said. The girl looked a lot younger than LouAnn did, but then again, you never really know for sure. "What year are you in?"

Heading over to a chair by a window, the girl sat down and decided to do some reading for her class so she knew what was to be done for their homework.
Once Alexandra sat down, it seemed as if more and more people were joining LouAnn and Mikaela in the little area they'd chosen to sit in. The newest addition, a girl who looked just a little older than Mikaela, seemed to be pretty interested in reading a book. "That reminds me...I need to get a bit of reading in myself. I don't want to fall behind in anymore classes," she said, thinking back to how hard Arithmancy had been at first. "I'm LouAnn, a fifth year, by the way. What's your name?"
