Demetria went and sat down at the table to get something to eat. She didn't see any of her friends there so she jsut decided to go sit by herself. Maybe she would meet some new friends. Dem grabbed a peice of bread and smeared butter and jam on it, quieting her growling stomach.

Dagobert looked up from the copy of The Daily Prophet that he was secretly reading and noticed a new girl had joined the table. She did not seem to know anyone around her either so he decided to introduce himself.
'Hey there,' he said with what he thought looked like polite smile but actually looked more like a smirk, 'My name's Dagobert, what's your name?'

"hey Dem!" Lilly said enthusiastically "how are you?" she asked grabbing some kippers.

Demetria looked up at a boy who had joined her. "Oh, hello. I'm Demetria." she smiled. "Nice to meet you Dagobert." Hmm....interesting name. she thought to herself.

"Hello Lilly." she smiled at her. "I'm fine. How about yourself?" she asked. It's so cute how she's always soo excited to see me. she thought.

'Yeah, likewise,' he said while trying to hide his newspaper. He saw that Demetria was talking to someone else who to him seemed annoyingly hyper. He sighed. Might as well introduce myself to her as well.
'Hi,' he said mustering up as much nice-ness as he would, 'My name's Dagobert.'
'What year are both of you in?'

"I'm a third year. How about yourself?" she asked.

Coming over from the Slytherin house table, Anna began walking the length of the Gryffindor table, addressing everyone, groups at a time. "Alright, everyone. Make sure you do just as the professor asked. Remove shoes, socks, and outer robes," she said, making sure every student was aware of the announcement. "Keep them nearby, so that a professor can come along shortly and collect them from you." When she was sure everyone was aware of what to do, she turned from the Gryffindor table and headed to the other three tables.

OOC: This was meant only for those who were in the dungeons when they flooded. Everyone else is okay.

'I'm in first year but I should be in third year. My magical ability kicked in later than most for some reason,' he said with a shrug. He'd always wondered why this was so but was just glad he was a wizard.
'So did you hear what happened to the Slytherins?' he said while nodding towards the direction of their table. He still found the whole situation quite amusing.

Dagobert was relieved that he had not been affected by the flooding. He was wearing socks with his favourite cartoon from when he was child on it; Pokemon. It would not be good if people actually got to see this. Not good at all

"Anna, do we have to remove them, even if we weren't affected by the flood?" she asked her.

"Interesting. Never heard of someone's powers coming to late." So weird.... she thought. "Yea, my friend who is a Slytherin told me. That majorly sucks." she glanced over at all of the Slytherins taking off their robes. "I'm glad it wasn't our common room." she laughed a bit.

Dragobert laughed at her comment.
'It might suck for them but it's highly entertaining for us,' he said while watching some of the Slytherins remove their robes and such. One boy was quite embarrassed to be showing the pink socks he was wearing.
'Oh and yeah it is quite strange, from what I heard it might have been because my dad's 'muggle-gene' was stronger than usual. My mum's a witch though, I was worried for a bit that I was going to be a squib!'

"That was my fear for a long time too!" she laughed. "My family is huge so for me to turn out to be a squib would've been bad." she looked over at a Slytherin boy who had on pink socks. "Ooo I'm loving his socks." she giggled.

.

'Oh yes, me too,' Dagobert said nodding in agreement,'If only I had my camera on me!'
He chuckled at everyone's expressions especially since they were taking it all so seriously. What was the worst that could happen, smelly clothes?
'I only have a younger sister, don't know what I'd do in such a large family!' he said secretly grateful that he only had one sibling to tolerate.
He took another sip his orange juice and asked, 'Is it always so interesting around here?

"Yup. Always. I mean it is Hogwarts after all." she smiled. "I love my big family." she told him. "I've got three sisters, and three brothers, one of which is my twin. But he goes to Durmstrang."

'Durmstrang, eh?' Dagobert said while looking at Demetria with renewed interest, 'I've heard they teach dark magic there, your brother is pretty lucky.'
His mother had told him some amazing stories about that school. She was even one of the very few people that got to visit it as she was asked to design uniforms for them. They were very secretive so she did not get to see much.
'It must be cool having a twin, though I'd prefer to have an identical one. Think of all the pranks we could pull, just like the legendary Fred and George Weasley,' he said while getting lost in thought.

"Yea lucky for him but not for the rest of us." she said remembering her party. "Up until last year he was a good guy but then he turned bad. Before we left to go to school I caught him teaching my 5 year old brother an unforgivable curse." she told him. "Talk about having an evil twin." she started laughing at her own joke. Haha I made a funny! she thought to herself. "But trust me, I'd much rather have a twin who was a girl. I don't think she would be nearly as evil."

Dagobert listened as Demetria told him the story about her brother. He was all for mischief but what her brother had done was taking it too far!
'I'm sorry about your brother,' he said sincerely,' What he did wasn't cool.'
He liked how she was able to laugh it all off though and smiled at her joke.
'So you're saying girls can't be bad?' he said with a playful nudge, 'Because if you are, you haven't met my mother!'
Most people assumed Dagobert's mischievous nature was inherited from his dad but it was actually his mum that had been quite the trouble-maker back in Hogwarts. He inspired to have the kind of reputation she had.
He looked around at Great Hall and a thought occurred to him.
'Wonder where all these lot are gonna sleep now?' he asked out loud, 'I'd better not have to share a bed with any of them!'

Demetria laughed a bit. "Oh trust me, girls can be just as bad. I just prefer to be good.....sometimes." she giggled. "I heard all of them were sleeping in the Astronomy Tower. I guess that means you get your bed all to yourself." she looked around at all of the Slytherins. "I don't know if I would be able to handle rooming with a Slytherin." she joked.

Dagobert breathed a sigh of relief. As much as his mum had tried to drill the idea of house equality, he could not help but feel a little dis-like to any-one who was not in house. House-pride, his mother had called it. And he certainly was proud to be a Gryffindor, just like mum.
'Me neither!' he said eying some of the bare-footed Slytherins, 'Anyway, I can't believe I'm asking this but do you know what class we've got next?'
He had promised him mum he would at least try to go to some of the classes. Plus he really did not want to receive a howler from her, she could say some embarrassing things when she was angry.

"Uhm...I know that CoMC and History of Magic are soon and I know DADA starts soon too." she told him.

Bleh, no charms, Dagobert thought to himself with disappointment. Although Care of Magical Creatures did not sound too bad to him. He liked animals but was not too sure about magical creatures.
'What kind of Magical creatures are we taught about here Dem?' Dagobert asked eagerly, 'things like giant spiders or dragons?'
Now if something like that is taught here, it won't be so bad, he thought with a smile.
'You know I've always wanted to see a dragon up close, ever since my mum took me to the Magical zoo here. I was this close to touching it but she caught me just in time. Shame, I'm sure I could have ridden him, just like Harry Potter.'

"Uhm....sorry but no dragons or spiders in class." she laughed. Omg I don't know what I would do if they taught about acromantulas! Ewww! she thought to herself. "More like the creatures that can easily be tamed. Nothing that could possibly kill a student. Harm, yes. But definatly not kill." she explained. "Oh I got to see some dragons up close this summer. My older brother Peter works in Romania with dragons and he let me and Danny come and visit them."

'That doesn't sound like fun,' he said with a pout.
Although, Dagobert did notice how nervous Demetria seemed about the spiders and a wicked thought came into his head. Looking around, he spotted a spider scuttling along the floor. So not to arouse Demetria's suspicions, he carefully took his wand out.
'Accio spider,' he mumbled. It was one of the few spells his mother had taught him when he was home tutored. Once he felt the creepy crawly in his hand, he put on the table in front of Demetria and said, 'I've got a friend who wants to meet you!'

Demetria lost her breath when he pulled the spider into his hands. "Dagobert please get that away from me!" she squealed. It was, after all, a pretty decent size spider. Demetria covered her eyes, "Please?!"

Dagobert laughed. The sight of Dem squealing and freaking out had definitely cheered him up.
'Alright fine,' he said between fits of laughter, 'Sorry dude, looks like she doesn't like you.'
With that he picked the spider up and put it on the floor where it crawled away to it's freedom.
'You can uncover your eyes now,' he said with a smirk, 'It's gone.'

Dem peeked through her fingers to make sure he wasn't joking, then took her hands away. "Not nice." she laughed and threw a bread crumb at him. "Me and spiders don't get along." she told him. "When I was little my brother had me convinced an acromantula lived in my closet and was going to eat me in my sleep." she explained. "Loser brothers."
