The feast had finished, so Sarah, Lori and Cedric had ushered the new students down through the entrance hall and along the corridor towards the Hufflepuff common room, including Brielle. Sarah had hung near the back so not to get in the way of people entering while she chatted to the Beauxbaton student.

"The kitchens are just down the end there," she smiled, pointing past the throng at the entrance to where the house elves hung out and worked, just behind the tickly pear painting. "I'm sure the house elves wouldn't mind preparing you something a little lighter if you asked them, they're very accommodating." Tucking a piece of hair behind her ear, she held out her other arm to guide Brielle in the direction of their actual destination.

"And this," she nodded, gesturing to the portrait which had swung shut now all the other students were inside. "Is where we enter the Hufflepuff common room. Shall we?" she asked, turning and muttering the password, before holding it open for Brielle to enter.
