Either House Heads or prefects will be handing them out." He said in certain terms. He added, "Patrick Malkin, Third year Ravvie. Welcome to Hogwarts you two." He grinned briefly before getting the bowl of greens that was there.

Patrick nodded calmly, passing the plate to Aden Broccoli, a fourth year Ravvie. "Potatoes are coming up. Gimme a sec." He searched around until he found said bowl of potatoes and passed it along too, grabbing the chicken plate when the other boy was finished with it.

Waving her hand dismisively, she said, "I'm in my third year... same as you. We had this conversation on the train right about the same time we were discussing how we'll both be turning fourteen this month." And really, she couldn't fault him for forgetting... She had an impeccable memory and, besides, she was certain he had met a ton of people recently being new and all, and probably had a hard time keeping everything straight.

"So, you said you were homeschooled, right?" Mariel said, watching him momentarily. "What subjects did you like?" she added, wondering if they'd be like classes here. Of course she had been homeschooled up until the age of eleven, but her classes weren't as magically inclined as the classes here, mostly the basic reading and math sort of things. Certainly someone a little older would've had more magical training starting at Hogwarts in their third year... or they'd soon fall behind.

And then she saw a familiar face, one that she hadn't seen in a very long time. "Jenn!" Mariel exclaimed from further down the table and gave her happy wave. It was such a shame they hadn't crossed paths much at all last year. Mariel was going to make it a point not to let that happen this year.

So my greeting's been completely messed up...oh well! You like Ravenclaw?" He was vaguely aware that his sudden mood change might be kind of odd for someone like Liz - who had seen him in his no-girls mood - to see, but he didn't pay too much attention to that thought.

Emiliano would be wearing his usual, very bright smile. But he just felt...terrible. He was sort of hurting Piper and Karma at the same time. He just tried to sort his thoughts...confused they were.

He sat on the house table then waited for the speech from the Headmaster to come up.

He replaced the potatoes bowl back in its place and looked back to his fellow Ravenclaw. "Patrick Malkin, third year. I don't think we've ever spoken before." He speared a carrot with his fork, "my fault, i'm not a big talker." He shoved the carrot in his mouth with a lopsided grin appearing as he munched on.

After a few minutes, Arienna cleared her throat and broke her statuesque pause. Hopefully, anyone who had noticed her obvious disability had looked away by now. Most people had only heard of blind people, but never actually saw or met one. Unfolding her hands, she brought them from her lap and up to the space of table in front of her. Her fingers encountered a plate--Roughly six-and-a-half inches in diameter. To the left--a spoon, a fork, and a knife. Just above the end of the knife was a goblet. Ari reached forward, past the goblet, and picked up the first bowl that met her fingers.

Bringing the bowl close to her, Ari reached to the side of her plate after a moment. In the time it had taken her to reach for the utensils, she had determined the contents of the bowl--spagehtti. Keeping perfect suavity, Arienna picked up the fork. Weighing out the apropriate amount of pasta, she lifted a few forkfuls of spagehtti onto her plate, before replacing the bowl back to where she had found it.

Pressing the fork back into her own spagehtti, she twirled it for three rotations, before lifting it. She dipped the fork once, so that any loose spagehtti would fall back onto the plate. Then, with no hint to her blindness, she ate her spagehtti bite, by bite, by bite.

Wait a minute. This girl was definitely not like the others. She slid down the bench, and cleared her throat quietly.

"Hello," she said, putting her hand on the girls arm. "I'm Karma. And you are?"

Her eyes darted about more. There had to be someone, anyone, who looked familiar. Her gaze washed over the table, and then darted over to a boy. HIM! Valentine reconized the boy from Diagon ally.

She walked contently and slowly over. After all, she was now a seventh-year. She had to show it somehow. Only that, a few feet in reaching the boy, the Ravenclaw girl tripped over someone's bag and fell flat on her face. "BLOODY MERLIN ON A STICK!" She said aloud, then blushed furiously realizing she actually screamed that out loud.

Her mind immediately went to the opening feast from last term where she managed to lose fifteen points for Ravenclaw on the very first day. And she was determined not to do that again. But did Copernicus know about that and was he trying to make sure she didn't do it again? She stared at him momentarily before realizing that he couldn't possibly know... right?

Regaining her composure, she once again smiled brightly back at him. "Always," she answered, glancing up at the Staff Table. Oh no. Kazimeriz was no where in sight. That meant he was probably wandering through the student tables like last year. Well, she was going to stay on his good side. Wait, did he have a good side? Staying off his bad side was probably the more appropriate phrase here.

"And you, too, I'm sure," Mariel told Copernicus as she turned back to him. Of course he was... he was far too well-mannered to ever get into any kind of trouble, at least in her mind. "If I remember correctly, I believe your name was at the top of the list for Ravenclaw point earners." And how could anyone who earned so many points for Ravenclaw ever be in any kind of trouble.

Livvy skipped towards the Ravenclaw table, happily as she looked around for anyone that looked familiar or looked like a good target to annoy. Though.... she could feel her stomach growling. A sign indicating towards her famishment. Never ignore your tummy.

She smiled as she spotted Copernicus who was talking to another girl. Livvy made her way towards the two and sat right on down. "Hey you," she said, nudging the boy and she smiled at the girl in acknowledgement.

Call me Ari." She had tried to angle her face at the sound of her voice, to give the illusion of looking. She noticed that it made it easier for people to talk to her.

"I must say--it is a pleasure to meet you." Indeed, not many people had said much more than 'Hello' to her.

So once again he planted himself down into an empty chair and observed each of the students sitting there and hit the button on his watch to see how long it would take for him to be noticed and long it would take for any trouble to start.

She let go of the girl's arm. So Karma was right, she couldn't see her. This would be interesting. She wasn't going to come right out and ask, but it would be better to wait.

She knew what it had been like to be the outcast at once, and she didn't want that to happen to someone else again.
