Wow! So popular all of a sudden, she thought to herself. "Hello Rene. I'm Rowan, second year Ravenclaw. It's nice to meet you," she beamed at the girl. Oh no, she thought to herself. Don't seem TOO eager to make friends. You'll scare people away.

"Nice to meet you, Satine. I'm Rowan, second year." She smiled her biggest (but nervous) smile. She couldn't believe that a Sixth year was talking to HER. "Are you excited to be back at Hogwart?" she asked shyly, not really sure what to say.

"Nice to meet you Rowan" She said extending her hand for her shake. "Im a seventh year" she said not remembering if she had already said that or not. She begin to think out of thought and begin to linger away a bit. "So how was the train ride?' she asked thinking that was a stupid question but it was too late to take it back.

She took a deep breath and then pushed through the doors of the Great Hall. She glanced around the room at all of the hustle and bustle and said under her breath, "Yes it's great to be back." SHe headed to her familiar table and noticed that it was overrun by new faces. She found a spot and glanced around for new faces to meet.



She smiled her famous sparkling smile at a very young girl that must be a firstie....or no maybe a second year. "Howzit, I'm Satine, sixth year." she said holding out her right hand. "It's nice to meet you...are you a firstie or second?" she asked as she glanced around.



As she glanced, she noticed a girl drawing...well...maybe more doodling on her hand. She smiled and reached into her purple bag and pulled out some parchment.

"Howzit, I'm Satine, sixth year." she said as she handed the girl the parchment. "Trust me from personal experience the professors highly dislike you drawing on yourself....some just because but some are afraid you'll draw a masterpiece and then you'll just wash it away." she said with a little gigglie. She examined the girl again and decided she must be a firstie. "Are you a firstie? If so, let me be the first one to welcome you Ravvie, the house of the most Intelligent and best looking" she said with a little wink.



As she spoke, she noticed a familiar face busy in conversation. She just smiled and waved over the heads of all of the newbies hoping Alex hadn't forgotten who she was already.

Satine smiled at the second year..."Well, it's great to meet you Rowan." she studied her face for a second, "O don't worry I'm prolly the nicest sixth year EVER!!! I just love meeting new peeps." she said with a smile as she glanced up and down the table at everyone crammed in.

"I'm soooo very excited to be back. I actually studied abroad last term so it feels sooo great to be back. So where are you from Rowan?" she asked as she flicked her right wrist and her wand shot out of her wrist holster and into her hand. With a quick flick of her wand, Satine's long bright purple hair flipped up into a messy updo.

"ugh i hate history" Lilly-anne said with a disgusted face "i do any thing really listen to music, read used to do horseriding but i do love water sports scuba diving,snokeling, water... sorry im rambleing" she laughed "what about you"

Hoping to run into either Eino, Hugo, or Jenny, Kurumi made her way to the Ravenclaw table hold box number three of her Hogwarts edition cookies. The blueberry Ravenclaw cookies had been especialyl difficult in making. Mostly because the proper mixing of ingredients to make the bronze colored icing bronze had taken much creativity. Who knew that almonds mixed with caramelized brown sugar would have that effect? Setting the blue box of cookies on the table, Kurumi looked around to see if she knew anyone.

Perhaps, but Rowan was really starting to feel comfortable around Lilly-anne. "So what kind of music do you like?"

Originally Posted by ria1305 (Post 10074901)

Lilly-anne smiled at Rowan "ha i dont really know how to classify what i listen to i like things like Paramore, muse, all time low, you me at six kinda rockish i guesse. what about you?" she may be a year younger but Rowan was really nice. a nice friend was what she need.

"where'd ya transfer from" she asked curiously she hadn't really payed attention to other wizard school all her family had come to hogwarts it was all she knew.
"i'm sure we will have clases together i mean they split the students evenly im sure we will have at least one class." she said with a smile directed at Alex

" No, you wont get booed - we all think that your nice. Just because your in Slytherin, doesnt mean that we all cant be friends. " Helen said to Alex, trying to make him feel welcome even though he was the older one.

Katelynn chose to answer this one. "Yeah, really exited to start at Hogwarts! What year are you in?"
Firsties? It actually sounded kinda cool - well, maybe a bit rude, and it sounded as though he was talking to babies, but Katelynn didn't mind the word that much.

"From New York. I'm a New Yorker" Alex said with a hint of pride, ah yes America and New York. Great, great place. "I'm originally from here though, explains the accents." Yes plural, having grown up in England and America he had two accents. Although he always used his brittish one in England, except when he was talking to americans... Like that girl on the train.

"Ah then I'm sure we will." he nodded with a smile. Then perhaps he could havve a third year Ravvie to work with in classes. "So have you been attending Hogwarts your two previous years too?"

Swinging into a seat at the 'blue table' as she had dubbed it (because Ravenclaw was all blue, which was very good because Aimée liked the colour blue. It wasn't as nice as purple, but there wasn't a purple table, so it'd do.) Aimée looked around for someone she recognised. And who did she see that she could strike up a conversation with? No one, absolutely no one. She sighed and reached across the table to pull a plate of salad towards her.

She wasn't even hungry...

Alice shifted in her seat a little and slowly looked round the Great Hall; on every table she could see happy faces and people making new friends. She smiled as she thought, why had she been so nervous? She was at Hogwarts! The school her mum and sisters had told her stories about since she was a little girl and it was her now her second home for the next 7 years."Yeah, this place is brilliant!"

"No, it's okay. They died when I was 5. Some sort of accident. There is a lot about them I do not know. The muggle orphanage where I live won't tell me anything about it. Honestly, I think they are a little afraid of me." She was rambling again. "Sorry, I'm rambling." She sat quietly for a moment trying to think of something useful to say.

Slytherin. Sly-ther-in. Hm, interesting word.

Harley walked away from the Slytherin table after failing to find someone she already knew and realising she was too scared to go talk to a stranger. She looked around the other tables in attempt to find someone she knew. Ravenclaw, that was an interesting word too. The redhair walked over to the Ravenclaw table looking for someone she knew, just as she was about to give up and move onto another table she spotted Aimée. Yay! She skipped over to the girl and stood behind her. "Mind if I sit with you ?"

Eying the still empty table, Janie made a thbbbbbbpt noise. " Is anyone else starving? I'm starving," She said, drumming her fingers on the table as she spoke.

Ugh. Wait- that should be a double Ugh. Why the ughing? Well, the food wasn't here yet. And that was becoming quite the issue, seeing as Keeley's stomach was about to wither away, and it was growling quite loudly, so that anyone sitting around her could probably hear it. Growl growl.

Pushing back a bit of her boyishly short hair, the girl pulled out one of her muggle markers. Of course, she had to use the quills during class, but these just seemed so much more practical. Almost without realising she was doing it, Keeley began to doodle on her hands. Meh, it was a habit of boredom.

"oh im sorry that must have been really hard"she said with a sad smile she didnt know why but seeing as Rowan told her about her past Lilly-anne felt she could open up to her "i had the perfect life until i found out my dad had a secound family and i had a half sister, hannah, who was my age, shes in hufflepuff. mum had no idea and niether did i till i met hannah on the train on the way here in my first year. there was loads of drama after that in the family but after both my mum and hannah's finding out about everything things got even worse. then he died last year though in a car crash in muggle london"
