Cale pushed past Sho and Eddy to grab a spot at the Ravenclaw table. The sugar fest that the boys had had on the train was wearing off and the boy was craving chicken. "Food! Glorious food! Ed-man, This!" he said waving his hands above the glory that was the Ravenclaw table in the Great Hall. "Is what a proper Hogwarts feast is like!"

He promptly clapped his best bud on the back with a meaty hand. "We shall feast my friends! Feast!" And with that announcement, he took a seat in promptly in the middle of the table.

Rian smiled as she walked happily into the great hall and sat down at the Ravenclaw table. She turned slightly on the bench and tried to choose what to have for the feast.

Sho looked around as Cale wigged out about the food. Where was he? How did he get here? Oh right- school. The food couldn't be that amazing could it? He looked at the spread and saw the various traditional opening feast foods. It did look good, but... well maybe Cale was hungry for something other than confetti.

"Sadly we're stuck with the girls again..." he reminded everyone.

Nigel walked into the Great Hall to see many happy, smiling and laughing faces. He looked around to see that the hall was still filling and that he was in the first few people at the ravenclaw table. Nigel wandered to the end of the table passing several familiar faces before landing a spot beside prefect Cale.

"Hey Cale," Nigel said smiling. "I see that you managed to get all the paint out of your hair," he said with a smirk. "It really is great to be back though isn't it."

He once more looked around noticing that the hall was rapidly filling and wondered how much longer they would have to wait for the food to come. He was absolutely starving.

Alice couldn’t help but look around as she took a seat, still a little in shock. This was, after all, the first time she had seen Hogwarts. With the whole Belle’s fiasco last year… She shook her head, trying to get the evil thoughts away. This was sure to be a lot better. She settled down in her seat, waiting for something to happen.

Valentine came trotting out into the great hall with her nice and new ravenclaw robes. Ravenclaw! At last it took this long, but now she was at Hogwarts finally. After weeks of planning, and moving, and shoppig, and falling asleep on the train- she was here!

"Now now what's wrong with girls?" Valentine asked sitting down next to Sho. "You make it sound like we are all evil insane bobble heads. Some could be a little off- but really we aren't that bad of a gender." She explained.

That had been the single worst trip of his life. Including his trip from France to London when he met airport girl and been scarred for life by her childish ways. Truly, though, the train ride had been awful. Not only had it taken far longer than he had expected, the only food available for consumption by students was sweet. Nothing healthy or cultural, nothing that appealed to Jean Raoul's tastes in the least. So by the time he reached the Ravenclaw table, the seventh year was starving.

"'Twas a brutally long ride," the transfer student muttered to himself as he sat near a group of boys. "But at least there is food now."

So Jean Raoul Devereux abandoned all his upbringing and immediately reached for a piece of chicken, determined to ease his hunger pains even before all had been seated.

"I've been stuck with girls my entire life" said Tobi, sitting with the Ravenclaws, not even bothering with his proper table. "Three sisters will do that. But man do I know how to co-ordinate my wardrobe. Is that Roast Beef?"

"Nigel mate!" Cale's gave Nigel's shoulder a nice thumb in greeting. "How was your holiday mate?! And I did. No more blue paint in the hair. haha!"
"Girls? Oh right- drama-drama-smoochie-dram..." He stopped as Valey poped up next to Sho.
"Nothing! Nothing at all. Girls are lovely- wonderful- creatures." He nudged Sho with an elbow. "Blue looks good on you Valey...very nice!" He gave her the "ok" sign with his fingers.
"Roasted Beef? Where?" Cale leaned forward trying to spy it on the table. "Where's the beef?! You best not be seeing things Tobi. Don't tease me with the beef!"

"Girls are just-" Sho was about to say before Cale cut him off with all his girls are lovely stuff. "Right. Wonderful, wonderful creatures. He took the words right out of my mouth."

Sho then picked up the platter of roast beef in both hands and held it up to Tobi and Cale. Men. For some reason they loved their red meat. Though as Sho kept the platter up, he couldn't help but smell the tasty, tasty slow cooked meat...

Tobi leaned past some unknown Ravenclaw and snatched the Roast Beef from Sho. "Thanks Sho, looks great doesn't it?" He sniffed it a little, "Mmm almost as good as Mum's -But don't tell the house elves. " He helped himself to a few slices and passed it down in Cale's direction.

James pushed against the doors and entered the Great Hall. He drifted to the table at his immediate right and saw that he was one of the first students to reach the Ravenclaw Table. He had almost forgotten the warm air and friendliness, but now it all gushed back inside him and filled with with an indescribable feeling. He sat down next to the small knot of students and smiled to them. He turned to a guy he heard another student call Cale.
"Hey," he said with a friendly tone.

Valentine rolled her eyes a little as Cale sweet talked her. "Oh yes wonderful wonderful creatures right?" She chuckled softly as he complimented her in blue. It wasn't bad, but truth be was that she would much rather be in her grey jeans and black blazer.

"Roast beef right there Cale." Valentine said picking up a piece of her own. Wasn't as good as pumpkin pie, but it would do. "How could you miss it?"

Patricia headed for the table that had mainly students with Ravenclaw blue borders. Since this was her first year here, she had no idea where to sit along the incredibly long table. She saw someone from Gryffindor, but he seemed to be talking to some friends of his. So she went a little further along the table and sat down in front of an empty plate. Her stomach growled again, just like it had done on the train. She was getting mightily hungry now and looked around to see if anything was available to eat.

Seeing nothing that could be called edible, she just let her gaze run around the room, absorbing every sight and sound... that's until she raised her eyes toward the roof and saw the magical sky that was right above them. "Oooo!" she said gently, quite amazed by what she saw, forgetting about the chattering students that were about. This was really the most wondrous sight to behold!

Though the fourteen year old already knew that they would be returning to Hogwarts, and not to that horrid place they were forced to refer as Belle's, in a very corner of Willow's mind, the girl had been slightly scared that for some random reason, they would all end up on going to Belle's again. Perhaps it was silly, but after having spent an entire school year stuck with annoying girls and their crazy hormones, Willow definitely didn't want to go back to Belle's. Or any place that she could potentially end up stuck with only females, for that matter.

Of another thing Willow was sure, though; she was not entirely fond of the male population, either. Needless to say, the moment her forest green eyes spotted the amount of males sitting on the Ravenclaw table, an automatic sigh escaped from her.

Well--at least boys' natural odd behaviour and occasional strange smell balanced all the drama that girls produced half of the time. At least that's how it had been before, and Willow dearly hoped it had not changed, for the fourth year very much doubted that she would be able to keep sane if things were any different that they had been. Of course that if she ended up losing her mind due to all the drama, she would definitely drag someone else to insanity with her, as well. No way she was going down alone.

But, why was she thinking this? The term had roughly started, after all.

Brushing her bangs out of her face with one swift movement, the girl took seat not very close to the males, but not exactly far away either, before grabbing a plate, and help herself with some food. She was pretty hungry, now she thought about it.

Where were her friends, though? Sabrina, Saylie, Issy, Eleanor.. Well, Eleanor was most likely in the Slytherin Table by now, and the other three Willow had lost through the sea of people once they had arrived to school.

Mariska filed into the hall with the other students after making a slightly long journey from the train station. She kept a cool expression on her face even though she wanted to look around in surprised appreciation. She had been told that Hogwarts was a musty,dull and dark old castle and nothing like Beauxbatons; In a way, that was right, but only in that Hogwarts was old looking. It wasn't dark and musty though, not with all the candles in the huge and warmly lit dining hall. It was charming in it's own way, she thought with a little smirk.

She made her way to the table she had been informed was hers, but she was a bit unsure as she hadn't met anyone in this household yet. She sat down close yet distanced from the group of others who obviously knew one another. As she reached for some chicken after some boy reached slightly across her for another dish, she looked up and down the table, her gaze finally landing on an older boy's face. Her politely cool comment towards the one who had reached across her died on her lips as she looked at him. He was vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place it. He seemed to be somewhat disgruntled about everything which was how she had felt at first. " I've seen him somewhere..." She muttered, narrowing her eyes as she tried to place his face. Was he on the train? Yes, that had to be it. Then suddenly she wondered where Nicholai was; She didn't want to admit it, but she wanted to see him again. It made sense, she thought as he was the only person she knew here, and even as she blushed very slightly at the mere thought of him.

Cale's eyes followed the plate of meat as Sho moved it around. They even followed the meat straight onto his plate as Tobi put it there. "Say Tobi," he poked the meat with a fork and hefted it to his lips. "You're alright you know that?"
"Hiya James! Did you have a good holiday?" Just then Valey spoke up. "Meet our newest member- Valey. She's got a bat and likes comics."
Cale gave Valey a look and then put a piece of beef on the girl's plate in retaliation. "Girls are as wonderful as dandelions."

"It could havve been better" he said with a sigh.

James turned to another girl who sat down across from him. He smiled and gave a small wave as she sat down.
"Hello there," he said to Patricia.

Livvy walked cautiously towards the Ravenclaw table and eyed everyone as she sat down. No one she knew was there yet so she just crossed her arms on the table and glanced around. The Great Hall was ginormous! and there were just so many students. Livvy's heart began to beat faster and her head felt hot.

Having been sorted into Ravenclaw, Mariel made her way over to what surely must be the Ravenclaw table. Eyes scanning the length of the table, she noticed that most of the students were much older and much bigger than herself. Spotting a girl who seemed to be about her age, Mariel figured that she was as good as any to sit down next to, so she sidled in next to her and began to fill her plate with food. Those chocolate frogs on the train did little for her appetite and she was still starving.

Sho buttered some bread and took a good tear out of it. He loved him some bread and this stuff was fresh. Sighing happily, he swallowed the big hunk of starch and butter before turning back to everyone.

"You should all try the bread," he said as Cale was about to tear into some beef.

Valentine smiled at the boy that Cale called James. "Valentine is the name actually." She said with a shy smile. She was always so shy with new people. Valentine turned her gaze back at the roast beef and started to cut it. "You know Cale there is more to me than just bats and comic books." Valentine gave a bit of a nod before stuffing a piece of meat in her mouth. After swallowing it she looked back at Cale. "And I know that an dandelion is a weed." Valentine gave a bit of a smirk before putting another piece of roast beef into her mouth.

James smiled to Valentine.
"Nice to meet, I'm James," he waved back to her. "What kind of comic books?" he asked shrewdly.

It appeared, that James wasn't in the mood to talk, so he turned back to Sho. "Bread? Why, don't mind if I do." He reached over and promptly snatched up two pieces of bread and made a sandwich.
"There might be more to you," he said around a mouthful of bread and beef. "But I don't know much about it," he swallowed. "Yet." There was a chuckle followed by a refreshing goblet of pumpkin juice. He filled up Sho's and then Tobi's for them. "And it may be a weed, but they're still pretty and fun to play with."
