For those who belong in Gryffindor House, on the left side of the Great Hall is where your table awaits. Red banners containing an embroidered golden lion float above the polished table in honour of the brave Godric Gryffindor. Already placed on the tables are silver plates with accompanying cutlery and goblets. All that is missing right now are the mountains of food and pitchers containing your favourite beverages.

Though your stomach might be growling as you take a seat on one of the long benches next to the table, it is important to not get hangry -- gnawing your arm away or jabbing your fork repeatedly on the surface of the table will do no good whatsoever. Give everyone some time to get settled in and wait for Headmaster Winterbottom to deliver his speech. Keep yourself preoccupied by catching up with your fellow housemates or those who are visiting from the other tables until it is time to sink your teeth into the hearty and delicious meal prepared by the house-elves.

A new year, and a new term! She was a fifth year! Tasting the word in her mouth the dark haired lioness took her usual seat at the front end of the Lion table waiting for her fellow lions to arrive. Pulling out a candy packet of something a boy had given her on the train Rose plucked it into her mouth without looking too closely at it. Something to chew on while she waited for the dinner to arrive, was a good start she thought. In a matter of seconds though Rose felt how something started to grow in her face. Something hairy too, what had she eaten? Getting frightened, she reached up to touch her face gently.. Was that hair? Was she growing a beard? No, not good. What if someone saw her? This would be so embarrassing.

Nadia was positively bouncing.

Yep, one energetic, smiling lioness made her way to the Gryffindor table for Start-of-Term Feast. Seventh year was upon her and Dy and it was something to take in for sure. Her gaze shifted briefly towards the Hufflepuff table to spot the familiar face of her twin. Sure there was those end of term exams their Dad had kept reminding them of as they prepared for this last year, but the lion was trying keep thoughts of the impending NEWTs at bay as best she could. Yes, she would study plenty for them and not totally ignore those pesky academics that served as back-up. Even if they weren’t her real focus given her future career plans.

"Hey," she greeted the 5th year nearby with a friendly smile. Don't mind her, she's just a touch distracted with her thoughts.

Licking the tip of her self-inking quill as she slipped into her usual spot along the expansive Gryffindor bench, Diamond jotted down a few noticeable observations and embellished them for Quill purposes. Maybe one of these leads would be something useful for her next Witch Weekly submission. Whispers about a secret Hufflepuff plant-themed gathering happening in the depths of the greenhouse, Ravenclaws clipping the broom tails of the Gryffindor captain's broom while it waited for its owner in the luggage compartment (sabotage or weird quidditch flirting ritual?), first-year students have reported seeing a shadowy figure slipping past the edges of the grounds while on their boat rides across the lake and possible pack of sixth year Slytherins being involved, the sudden change in relationship status between a seventh year Gryffindor sweethearts after ride from London and eyewitnesses swearing they saw a phial of something experimental being slipped into a cauldron cake...there was plenty to go off of if you added the right bells and whistles to things. Unfortunately, the first years were being offensively boring this term with their Sortings and reactions to them, no nepo babies having a complete meltdown which then resulted in the Sorting Hat being trampled by first year fee and instant detention awarded in front of the whole school... she nearly groaned from boredom until the sweet sound of anxious breathing tickled her ears and drew her attention towards her slightly younger housemate.

Hair growth potion? It wasn't as juicy as she might have liked but it was a whole lot more interesting than the other kumbaya moments everywhere else.

So sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide right on down she did until she was practically thigh to thigh with Rose. "So, new trend or exposé on ‘beard care’ tips? OR are you perhaps looking to see if there is any truth to the muggle stereotype of wise wizards and them sporting impressive beards considering this IS your OWL year and any leg up is a good leg?"

Nadia received a swift wave as a bit of an afterthought - the girl seemed off in her own headspace feeling fancy and free in a Daydream Charm OR escaping suspicion in fantasy...title and contents of that gossip pending.
