PFFFFFFFT.


PFFFFFFFFFFFff-- oh hello. He tugged Neptune down into the seat next to him and watched with interest as one of the Durmstrang girls approached the Ravenclaw table. With some effort he tore his eyes away and firmly focused his attention on Neptune.

"I'm glad I'm with you." He managed. Well. It was trueish. Mostly. He was glad. But that.... was she Russian? Bulgarian? Something.

Man. He was such a good boyfriend with his pointed not-looking.

"I know." Neptune did know he wanted to be with her. Giggle. "I'm glad you stomped on that ugly hat, too! Was it trying to put you somewhere else?" Neptune searched under the table for his hand, focusing solely on Mr. Wilkes.

For the moment.

"Did you tell it about me?" Giggle. Neptune squished his hand once, then put her hands back into her lap. Perfect lady and all. Well, mostly perfectly lady. She was actually a wee bit disheveled, but a lady never kisses and tells.

Certainly never brags. A not so very far off memory sent Neptune into another bout of giggles.

Jimmy.

Clearing his throat, he gently let his wrists lean against table, keeping up a nice posture at the same time. The Great Hall was bigger than he expected...and he couldn't keep his gaze away from the ceiling. Now that he thought about it, the castle was huge! How far did he need to walk again to get to this Ravenclaw room?

Far less discrete than Jim, Neptune elbowed him gently. "Loooooook." She craned her neck to watch the - beautiful? Boy? arrange himself at their table.

GIGGGGGLEEEEEEE. HELLO. SQUEAK.


"Jim." Was he SEEING THIS?? Nudge. She fanned her pinking face with little curls of her fingers. Ooh la la.

"Yes," She stated simply. It had shocked her as well, and still did. The only good that would come of this was that she was staying in the same house as him. Not a bad bargin if you asked her. "Riding brooms doesn't sound like a bad idea." Though it would mean less time spent with him, so she would walk.

"The pleasure is all mine, Noel." She gave him one of her sweet smiles as she shook his hand. It wasn't much of a hand shake, but what did she care. "Your name is lovely." There was a lot about him that was lovely. Heh.

"Your travel here was good, was it not?" How did they get here anyways? Sandra was slowly growing curious about the french school.

"I was a pleasure too, Kelly." Not at the current moment, but she was sure she might enjoy the girl when she wasn't in the company of such handsome young men. That wouldn't be often since she was enjoying their company immensely. "I don't suppose you could tell me how your house's dorms are set up." If she was gonna have the child standing here interrupting her time with the boys, she could atleast get some valuable information from her.


Sandra smirked at the young man. "I could go for something sweet..."

Biting her bottom lip softly, she tilted her head to the side when he winked. This one....yes, she was keeping him. "Thank you. It's what my friends call me. Only my friends." Hint. Hint. Her liking of him was growing with each passing minute.

"You should be proud to have a name that's been passed down through your family. I'm sure its a nice name, even if you von't share it vith me." She wouldn't push it though. There was other things more important than knowing his full name. He was well-mannered, that was all that mattered to her.

Eyes flickering to the boy who tried to steal her away (would he be speaking again?), she let her greenish eyes settle on Fletcher. "Your school is very big, Fletcher. One could easily get lost their first few days here." That smirk of hers was back.

Grayson may have been young, but she certainly wasn't stupid. And she knew for a fact that Aleksandra was only saying that to be polite. But she turned from Finn and Noel long enough to give the older girl a smile to show she'd heard. And then, at the question, she nodded. May as well take whatever conversation she could get before letting Miss Miroslav go back to the boys. She had her own, anyway. "Sure. Well, I don't really know if they'll be quite the same as normal, with you both rooming with us, but usually boys are separate from girls. And older students have separate rooms from the younger," she explained, figuring Aleksandra would find that a relief. And then she lowered her voice a little. "Oh, and the girls can get up to the boys dorms, but the boys can't get into ours. At least, that's the rumor," she said, acting a bit conspiratorially. She'd never tested that theory, but it was in all the stories. So she figured if Hogwarts was still run like the old days, it should be true. And even if it wasn't, she wasn't taking responsibility for if the older girl tried anything and got into trouble. Although it would be interesting to try, with Finn in the mix. At least, there could be plotting done.

Yes, it was a polite thing to do, and Noel was all for being polite. Unless of course the person didn't deserve the politeness, like that one boy; Interrupting a conversation. But of course, it would slide for now. New school new students, and new introductions! "Oh, alright." he said, glancing towards the other side of the table to see if there were any open seats. There were a few actually, now that he looked.

Well he didn't detect anything from Aleksandra that may have made Grayson believe she was unwanted here, but what did he know, hmm? Probably some girl code that he didn't understand. If she wanted to leave though, it was up to her. "Well, zank you for ze welcome. Perhaps we will bump into eachozer later zen? Big school and all."

It was a possibility of course.

Well now, Hogwarts wasn't all like a dungeon now was it. The ceiling was proof enough for that. However, he may just end up changing his mind again if the rest of the castle was like the halls they walked through before making their way to the Great Hall. The place needed some color! Or light! "Of course! Zat is ze main reason I'm here." he laughed, taking a sip of the water that was in the golden goblet in front of him. Was it made of real gold? It didn't matter really. What did matter was that the water tasted different here for some reason. "So...you are excited for ze tournament? You aren't entering it are you?" She seemed a little young to, but who knows!

Umm...

..erm...

This one seemed a bit of a giggle monster! Was that a good thing? Or should he stay away? Smile! Smiling was good.

*queue charming smile*

She was a fan of brooms? Not like the others who were afraid to get five feet off the ground, eh? As pleasant as it sounded to use brooms instead to get up to the towers, nothing could beat the simple act of meeting a lovely lady on the journey to their common room. "Zank you. Of course, not az lovely az ze mademoiselle next to me." he said with a small wink. Hehe, she would know he was talking about her yes? Unless she thought, the younger girl on his other side...

Surely not. But once again, his attention was diverted from his thoughts to Aleksandra. Now that was a lovely name. "Travel was, long az any trip would be. I am sure zat yours was az well, non?" Travel always left him famished, which was of course was proven by the grumble of his stomach. Oops. "Pardon me. Traveling always leaves me hungry."

"Seems like it." Finn grinned, because he was rather happy that he was a Ravenclaw. Hellllo Grayson and Neptune were both in Ravenclaw, so that he felt like a pretty lucky guy. Well Neptune was kind of Jimmy's, but he still could hang with her right?
Ohh. That was the schools the people had come from. "Nope?" Because he didn't really care, although the girl she was talking to because well....she was quite nice.
Although he did rather get distracted by something further down the table. oooh. Hello Neptune, and Jimmy was with her too. Did that mean that Jimmy was a Ravenclaw? Awesome. Finn needed to go talk to him about that. "Grayson....I'm just gonna go talk to Jimmy." He nodded, before wandering down to them.

"It seems the coolest of kids are in Ravenclaw doesn't it?" He grinned. Yes they were the coolest.

Grayson turned back to the nice people, as she heard Noel speak again. As he was looking down the table, she felt bad, as she knew, both from that and from his words, he was checking what she'd said. But she knew her seat was still free, since not very many people had arrived since she'd left it. Most people were crowding around the visitors anyway. So it seemed she had her out from the awkwardness. "Well, you're welcome. It was my pleasure," she said with a smile. It was. She liked talking to people who were nice to her. And she shrugged slightly as he continued to speak of them seeing each other around, even though she continued to smile. "Sure. I'm usually around, and if you're rooming in the tower with us, you might see me there too." It was always possible. With the tournament and everything, she imagined she wouldn't be quite as apt to hang out in the trees and such. Although she was definitely checking to see if the treehouse was still around, once it was morning again. That was the best tree to climb on the grounds.

Returning her attention to Finn as he spoke, she grinned back at him. "Awesome. I think lots of things could happen with that, don't you?," she said, thinking once again about pranks and such. Although other things could be possible as well, not that she'd have thought of that before the summer. And Diagon Alley. But then she laughed at his response to her question about the visting students. "Well, I'd imagine you could fix that if you wanted." There were two there with them, at least. But she didn't mind if he'd rather talk to her instead. But then he noticed Jimmy and the girl with him, and Grayson's expression grew slightly less animated. She smiled, though, as he excused himself. "Sure. Tell him I said hi, okay? I'm just gonna go back over there," she told him, gesturing at the empty seat several people down, that she'd vacated when she'd come over to the guests. "So if you wanna come back, it won't be as hard to find me." If he was going to have trouble anyway. He'd found her fine before.

And as he wandered off, she sent another smile over to Noel, then walked back down to her seat. Time to occupy herself again. Waiting for food, or more people to talk to. She didn't quite know what.

As Eliza sat down at the Ravenclaw table, she didn't really see who she had sat down next too because she was focusing on not falling over as her robes were slightly too big. As she sat down she breathed a big sigh of relief and looked around the great hall and then down the table.

Daniel bounded into the hall. He was happy. Not really really happy but just happy. He had some friends now and the triwizard tournament was taking place. That had to be exciting ! He didn't know when the last one had happened. Some time when Dad was at school or something.


He walked over to the Ravenclaw table. It was semi-full by now but what Daniel found strange was that there was a big group of people in the middle of the table. Was someone that popular? He walked closer to find out.

There were two kids in the middle. They looked foreign. The girl was Russian or Bulgarian and the boy looked French. Then it stuck him. These kids were from the other schools! Beuxabuns and Dumstrang or something. Everyone was crowding around trying to make friends with them incase they were the champians. He didn't recognise anyone in the group but Salandar. He gave him a little smile. He still needed to get his fireworks from the boy. But first introductions!

"Hi" he began with a little smile to both of them "Your from those other schools aren't you?" he asked simply. That was a good opening to a conversation wasn't it? Meh. Daniel wasn't good at this sort of thing.

Sapphinelle traipsed over to the Ravenclaw table to visit some of her friends and saw Daniel. She sat next to him and gave him a warm smile.
"Hey Daniel! Isn't Hogwarts amazing?" she said in awe, gracefully looking up at the enchanted ceiling. It really was.

From its old charming castle to the warm welcomes and friendly people, she felt as though she was finally where she belonged. Ever since she was little she dreamed of Hogwarts, the great stories her Grandmother told her about it were wonderful. It didn't look to hard to get around, but she didn't want to sneak around. Not tonight, anyways. They'd get in trouble, plus it was only their first night and she wanted to get used to the castle first before sneaking around.

Izzy walked over and sat down next to Sapphinelle. "Hey, Sapphinelle! I can't believe that we're finally here!" She smiled at her.

She gave Izzy a confident smile and a hug.
"I know! It's amazing. I can't wait to go to my common room and cuddle with Beck or read a book or something." she said with a sigh, then clapped her hand over her mouth. Why was she saying that? She REALLY liked Keefer but she never saw him around anymore, but she REALLY liked Beck, but she had just met him today! GRRR!

Keefer is sweet and nice! a tiny voice in her head said. But Beck is hot and is really nice, too. AND he's French like you! AND he loves reading! AND he loves Quidditch. said yet ANOTHER voice. Was she scizophrenic or something?! Keefer's on the team. And he's got adorable red hair. AND he really cares about you! Gahh! Stop, stop, stop!
She forced another smile at Izzy. Everything was oookayyyy. It was only the first night.

Izzy smiled warmly. "Don't worry. I won't say anything. To either of them, that is." Then she realized that Sapphinelle must be confused. "I've seen people with this problem all the time. You've known one guy for a while and you either broke up, but you still are in love with him, or you haven't seen him in a long time. Then, there's another guy, I presume Beck, that you met not so long ago and you think you're falling in love with him." Izabella sighed because she hadn't been breathing while she talked. "Trust me, Sapphinelle, it'll be okay. The only thing to worry about is how much food we're going to finish," she said, gesturing to the table.

Sapphinelle gave her a puzzled look.
"I never said I was in love, just deep like. Noooooooo. Not love!" she said with a laugh. She thought about the yummy food that was coming to them soon.
"Everyone's saying that the speech is quite boring, but I wanna see what the Headmaster has to say!" she said with a bright smile. She really did. It was her first year at Hogwarts anyway, and she wanted to be a top student and hep her house win the House Cup for Hufflepuff! They won the Quidditch Cup last year, after all. Yay!
She looked up at the staff table with interest, and spotted her Head of House.
"Ooh, look! There's the Huffie Head of House. He's the gamekeeper, too!" she said with a smile and nodding at Izzy. Of course, she read all this. She loved reading, she'll probably read the whole library twice this year or more- except for the restricted section, of course.

Callie decided to spread her prettiness even further throughtout Hogwarts. So she made her way over to the Ravenclaw table but seen as she hadn't met anyone who'd said they were in Ravenclaw she went and sat by herself away from most people waiting for someone to approach her and her prettiness.

Big headed much ?

"Oh that's cool! I don't know who my Head of House is, though. But I hope that Ravenclaw wins the Quidditch cup. I love Quidditch!" Izzy said, smiling.

OOC: Gtg. Be back in like a half hour.

Bradin found himself walking over to the Ravenclaw table. He knew about three people in that house. Maddie, Louisa and if he'd met another Ravenclaw, he couldn't remember their name, or even what year they were in. Not even if they were male or female. O wells.

He looked for someone he knew. No one.

Then he found someone who looked rather out of place and quite.....cute.....maybe. She looked cute and he was sure he'd seen her somewhere over at the Slytherin table. Maybe his eyes were just decieving him. He was fairly well-known for that happening.

"Someone looks rather out of place don't they" he told the girl who was sat alone looking for pretty......and waiting for someone to embrace her......prettiness......maybe.

Callie looked around for a cute guy to talk to. Psht. Where was Jack or that other dude that looked like him. Fletcher wasnt it ? Meh. They were obviously not around here. She sighed, she was about to get up and go back to the Slytherin table because people actually seemed to appreciate her prettiness over there but then someone came over. Wearing a Slytherin Robe.

So it was just them who knew the great values of pretty ?

Seemed so.

She smiled at him. He was pretty hot. Yeah she'd talk to him for a while. She pointed down to the space next to indicating him to sit next ot her. He looked sorta familiar maybe she'd just passed him in the strreet before or something probably.

But he had cool hair very cool hair she had to give him that.

"Well if Im out of place seems you are too." she giggled. Time to introduce herself ? Yeah. "Callie. Callie Parker." she smiled. Yeah he was pretty hot.

Bradin looked around for a cute girl. None. Why was he looking for cute girls again? O wait, he was an idiot that was why. O well. He'd live with his stupid boy brain. It was a guys prerogative to look for cute girls but not actually do anything with them when he was already madly in love with someone. And he was never ever going to let that change. Not in this lifetime.

He took a seat next to the Slytherin girl. She was cuter now he was closer to her. It seemed no one actually appreciated how cute she was, or not the Ravenclaws at least. That was slightly annoying. Never mind. That made two of them. Maybe they just thought that their being Slytherin meant they were evil, mea, prejudiced, pathetic people but they weren't. Some of them had some bad memories behind them. Like him for instance.

He smiled at the girl.

Then she introduced herself. Callie was a nice name. He'd heard it somewhere. He hadn't met her before though. Maybe it was just from walking past people in the streets, or maybe on the train. He didn't know. He just knew he'd heard the name before.

"Bradin Westerly. Pleasure meeting you" he finally said after having many random thoughts run in his mind.

"I ADORE QUIDDITCH!" she yelled excitedly. "Are you gonna try out? I sure will." she said with a big smile.

"I am. Seeker, of course! Well, I hope I get it! I finally got a snitch too!" Izzy smiled widely. "Well, if we both get on, no competitiveness. We stay friends no matter who wins. Deal?"

She smiled happily. "I want to be a chaser." she said with a giggle, and hed up her pinky.
"Deal. But... we have to pinky promise. Those things are LEGIT." she said with a wide smile.

Izabella shook pinkies with Sapphinelle. "And ankle shake when we get up." She smiled and nodded.

"Okay. Good thing I'm wearing flats!" she said with a giggle, pointing to her hand-made Huffie outfit. She hoped Izzy would notice and want to make a Ravenclaw outfit for her,she made outfits for everyone and she had a blue fabric that would go great with Izzy's skin tone.

"Did you make that? Wow! I wish I could have one!" Izzy said excitdely. "That's awesome!"

Sapphinelle smiled at her and looked once more at her outfit.

"You really like it? I'll make you one!" she said happily, taking out her Juicy Couture bag and working on the materials inside it, she enchanted it to be huge inside.
