Though not the first to enter the hall, Wesley had been sitting at the table for a while. Very quietly. Just listening. And then choking on her pumpkin juice. Then watching, horror struck, as Prefect Dominic stormed up to the staff table. Which was just about where she was right around now, when a her view was obstructed, (which, for someone of 4'3" was not that uncommon) and she had to move. Because Wesley never stood on tables and chairs. That's how you broke something. And died.
Moving quickly along the Hufflepuff table, she found an empty spot, and, in her enthusiasm rushed over it to as fast as her legs would carry her, practically leaping onto the chair and loosing her balance, causing her head to collide with the table.
"Ow," she mumbled, rubbing her forehead but never the less deterred from her task, which was: making sure Prefect Dominic didn't get himself blown up.
Scrambling onto her knees, Wesley crained her neck to see what was going on...that one tall Ravenclaw guy was...wait, when had he arrived?...Cupping her hands to her ears in a sad effort to hear, she turned her head to the side so that her ear was facing the direction of the table. Then Wesley scrunched up her nose. Listening. Listening.

Sarah's head shot up and looked in the direction of the voice.Upon seeing it was Kay she nodded.Getting up from her seat she walked a little way down the length of the table until she got to Kay and Kevin.Sliding herself in next to them she smiled. "Thanks guys, I didn't want to disturb you before.Looked like you were deep in conversation.Hows things?"

It was no good, all she could hear was Sarah and a bunch of other peo-WAIT. Sarah?
Glancing around suddenly, hands still clutched to ears, she found herself sitting right next to Sarah and across from some people around Wesley's own age- one of which was...Kaytone. Kaytone from the Quidditch notice. She didn't know the boy though.
"Sarah!" she exclaimed happily, then turned serious,
"Sarah-you guys-did you hear? Did you hear that speech?

Maybe she'd just find out if they heard it before trying to give a part by part playback.
