" Good, you will love the teachers and the classes, too" Rex told Aiden. "Well, any body of any house can go over and hang with whomever at the feast" Rex explained to Aiden. " You can go to the teachers table, too but I am not sure if you can go to the prefects table" Rex said to Aiden. "Do you swim?" Rex asked Aiden.
"i do" said Audrey while she stared at the Grey Lady. "Who is she?" asked Audrey as she motioned to The Grey Lady.

Emily's jaw dropped, "MARRIED? OH MY GOSH!~" Emily squeeled, "Of course I want to meet her!"

She had only been at Hogwarts for a few hours and allready it was starting to feel like home.

| ohh josie, that was hilarious! XD you crack me up. Sardines ♥ BHB ♥ Dallie ♥ Grumpy ♥ MY SUN AND STARS ♥ i love julia Quote:

He waved one hand dismissively at her. Announcement thingy, announcement board same thing different names. "You knew what I meant didn't you?" he chuckled with a wink. No need to notice his choice of words missy, they were almost never right. And when they were they usually were about things he knew everything about, like quidditch, pranking and girls. Although he didn't count Ellie as a girl. Merlin of course he counted her as a girl he counted her as The girl, capital T. But sometimes he didn't because... Well she was different and he had actually no clue whatsoever how he would act around her. And that wasn't normal for him. "Then we'll have to keep an eye out." he smirked. Or both you know because he always looked at things with both eyes, why would he look at important things with just one eye?! O.o It didn't make any sense, sometimes people were just freaky that did that. Sometimes his mind was really freaky like right then when he stood talking to Ellie. At least she wasn't a mind reader. Oh he would be sooo doomed if she was a mind reader. He wouldn't have any friends at all! *sniff* "Perhaps we can sneak out sometime when the pitch is unoccopied and practise." he wiggled his eyebrows at her. Like in the middle of the night... How awesome would that be?! Dark yes, but awesome.
Ellie fingered on her ring and Alex ran a hand through her hair. Wait she only did that when she was nervous and feelings like that. So did that mean he made her as nervous as she made him? Nah probably not. She probably just did that because of the awkward silence that had erupted before he had time to pick a subject.
Faaaacepaaalm! Of course she didn't already missed it, the Feast was still going on she hadn't been away for that long. Way to go, Alex. You have now embarrassed yourself. Again. Cue applauds and mockings. Ugh. "Ooh right." he chuckled scratching his neck. "Then I'll ask again in a month then." he grinned. Mental note; A month from now ask Ellie about the Leaky. Done!
Huh, did he miss New York? One part of him screamed yes and wanted to lay down on the floor in misery and he other one said; "Huh, New York? What's that? Can you eat it? *omnom*" Alex thought for a while, which side would he show to Ellie? Hm, how about a little bit of both. "I miss my family." he nodded. Yes he really did, there was no one to take care of his sister when he was away. Sure their parents but not a big brother. Whittle Jenna. "And I miss the city sometimes..." Also true, Empire State Building etc.... *sigh*. "But I don't think about it too much. I'm having too much fun right where I am talking to you." he winked. Also very true, he was such an honest boy *rewards him*. "And at the moment I wouldn't have it any other way." At that moment he really wouldn't have it any other way, talking to any other person. He was talking to Ellie and he loved liked that very much indeed. Another truth to wind it up. Good Slythie boy. Ellie laughed too and pushed back her hair out of her face. Well and because it's a little weird." And most people don't appreciate it when a random girl decides to bite them. "Oh yes, of coouurse." she said, smiling at his ever-so-charming wink. Winks and smirks, back and forth, she loved it. Those were her two favorite facial expressions. *nod* Mhmm. And it was even better on her favorite boy. Oh! Did she really just think that? Oh yes. She did. At least Alex wasn't a mind reader, oooh she would be so done for if he could read her mind. (OOC: bahah, i copied you. teehee.) Oh and then was the wiggling of the eyebrows. Her favorite Alex trademark was the eyebrow wiggles. Hm, maybe there was a connection from his eyebrows to her nervous system, because everytime he wiggled his eyebrows, so did her nerves. Huh, weird thought. Woah, caught up in the eyebrows. Did he just say sneak out?! A grin stretched across her face. "Oh, you dog!" She whispered loudly. A shifty expression overtook her face as she looked upward and tapped her chin. "Though sneaking out... I like the sound of that." She said. She looked back down at Alex and winked at him with the same shifty expression. Jeez, she should've been sorted in Slytherin!
She smiled to herself as Alex ran his hand through his hair and scratched his neck. Nervous? He'd ask again in a month. "I'll be waiting, then." she said. Good, now he'd have to see her again. Not that Ellie thought he'd just walk away and never come back. Well she certainly hoped not...
Ellie nodded while Alex explained to her. She could only imagine how hard it would be to leave her family (assuming her family actually had a loving relationship) who lived in a completely different continent for a whole school year. "I'm sorry... That must be really hard for you." She tried sympathizing, but it was hard. Alex's story was completely different than hers. She frowned. And the city. She'd never been to a big city before. Besides Muggle London, but that was old news to her. "I wonder what it's like in America." She said dreamily. "All the tall buildings, the city lights, people everywhere... Oh, the Statue of Liberty, too. Of course, that's only what I've seen in pictures." Oh, and the hotdog stands everywhere, right...? Or were those just in movies...
Though she was very interested in their conversation, it was the next part Alex said that caught her by surprise. I'm having too much fun right where I am talking to you. And at the moment I wouldn't have it any other way. It took a second for Ellie to absorb that. A cute boy, but not just any cute boy, the cute boy, just told her that he was having fun talking to her and that he wouldn't have it any other way...! Wow, Ellie could be such a sap sometimes. Oh, right. Staring is rude, Ellie, say something. Her face immediatley flushed. "Oh." Ah yes, so profound. She looked up at his hazel eyes. His green Slytherin robes really brought out the green in them and it was hard not to stare. "I wouldn't have it any other way either." She said with a smile. And it was true. She would have liked to say more, but she couldn't. She didn't know what to say. Alex had left her speechless once again. Quote:

And I think your dad would be very proud of you" he said smiling. "But just so you know, if you ever want to come stay with me and my parents over the summer in Ashbourne your more than welcome. They would love to have you as they are very friendly people" he said sincerely.
He hated the fact that she was alone outside of Hogwarts so if he could help out in anyway he would. He smiled as she said he could count on her anytime he needed which he totally believed. She was a very sweet and one of the closest friends he had made at Hogwarts. "Thanks Ellie, that really means a lot to me. It really does". Ellie smiled at Draven. "Really? Thank you, Draven. You know, that really means a lot. I think my dad would have liked you." She said with a small laugh. "And I'm really glad that you and I can talk to each other about these things. It takes a true friend to do that. So I'm glad I have you." She said, poking him lightly on the arm.
She took Draven's offer into consideration and raised her eyebrows. "Wow, really? Thank you! That's really nice of you to offer!" Ohh, he was such a nice boy. It was true, Ellie did have those days in summer where everyone was at home except for her, stuck in the empty Leaky Cauldron all alone. Staying with friends would be a great change for her. She smiled at the idea. "Not a problem at all, Draven. I'm here for ya." she said, smiling. Quote:
Originally Posted by Waddles Reminded of the oddly laid-back girl from earlier, Winston gave her a bewildered look. "Well, yes, I'm nervous," he said simply after a pause for consideration. Who wouldn't be? Ellie frowned. Well, I guess he did have something to be nervous about. Headmaster Tate did just say "Do not die." in his start of the term speech. Subtle, Tate... veeery, subtle.
Ellie scooched over to the first year but still kept a good amount of space between them in fear that the boy may explode any second. She sighed and pondered what she could say to get him more relaxed in the Hogwarts atmosphere. "Everyone gets nervous. I was nervous as heck my first year too. This is where your life begins. Everything changes here on out. Even the ceiling and the staircases. Everyone gets scared to death; afraid they'll end up on the wrong floor or in the wrong corridor, or run into the crazy ghost in the 3rd floor lavatory. Don't worry, she stays in the girls bathroom." She reassured him though that wasn't always true. She breathed in. "Your teachers may be scary, but they're here to teach and if you're here to learn, you won't have a problem with them. You may have loads of homework every night, but if you're still here to learn, you'll do great on it. And your tests! You've just gotta take a deeep breath, relax, and say: "I can do this." Hogwarts is one giant family. And if it's too giant for you, then me and the rest of Ravenclaw are here for you too." She said with a friendly smile. "You got this." She said. Wow. Who knew pep talks could be so much fun? Quote:
Originally Posted by MissFeenella It was so sweet how Ellie offered to talk about Edmond but she needed to get done with him.He wasnt coming back. Never. The time to cry about it was over."I really appreciate that",the blonde smiled,"you know if you have something you want to talk about i will be there."What were friends for?!Fee couldnt stand seeing her friends sad and always tried to help them the best she could.
The Slytherin giggled when Ellie leaned forward.She was just sooo incredebly cute when it came to Alex.When would they see how perfect thex were for eachother?!"I dont think he can tell",she shook her head,"guys are always blond to things like this."That was sooo annyoing,how much more obvious could it get?!Someone needed to make the first move."Dont worry about it",the girl winked at her friend,"oh and i am going to throw a party when you get together."That would be sooo fun. "Ohh yeeess cant you see how innocent i am?",Fee laughed making her best puppy face.Maybe she wasnt all innocent, but would she tell.Nooo. Of course the girl would fight to get into the Quidditch team no matter what but still she wouldnt hurt anyone badly.That was just not her. Ellie nodded with a smile. "I know that. Thanks." She said. That's what friends were for: talking. She was glad Fee was okay with talking about stuff like that. Maybe when the time was right, she would tell her about her crazy messed up family. Well, maybe not the whole story. Wouldn't want to make the girl pass out, now would we?!
Phew, relief. Fee said she didn't think Alex could tell she was totally falling for crushing on him. And Fee was his best friend, so she'd know everything, right? Right?! Ellie raised her eyebrows and laughed. "When we get together?" She asked in a bewildered voice. "Jeez, someone has to make the first move before anything can happen..." She mumbled. It couldn't be her. Girls didn't make the first move, didn't they? That was a guy thing right...? She hoped so, she was terrible at making "moves". "And what makes you so sure that will happen?" She asked with skepticle eyes.
Ellie laughed at Fee's puppy-dog eyes. Ohh not the puppy-eyes card! Anyone could fall for that. Hmph. "Innocence doesn't lie!" she joked. And oh yes, those Slytherins were known for lying. Pff, except for not. All the ones she'd met were extremely nice. Stereotype fail. "Oh, Fee." she said laughing. "You can pull those on the quidditch pitch, but we Ravenclaws are smart. We won't fall for it." she winked at the blonde. Score for intelligence.

Winston blinked at the barrage of questions. "Um. I play football some, and I like to watch Quidditch," he began. "Of course I like to read, and no, I don't play..um. Instruments."
"Do you?" Quote:

Oh, come now. That was a compliment. Sort of. Charisa smiled and nodded. "No problem." Err, she didn't know his name. "Oh, and I'm Charisa Sokova. You are...?" Eyebrow raise. "I'm Winston. Clarke." Winston nodded. "If I can give you some advice, I'd advise you not to eat as quickly as you were before. You might choke, and that would be bad." There. He was being nice, right? Saying it would be bad if she choked meant he thought she was a reasonably nice person.
In Winston's mind, at least. Quote:

Winston registered maybe about half of what the girl said.
"I'm not scared of teachers." Lie. "I'm glad I'm a Ravenclaw, though. Ravenclaws seem more focused," he said. Truth. "Thank you for having confidence in me," he said after a less-nervous pause. Truth.
"Also, I'm Winston," he said. Truth? |

Ellie smiled, glad he was finally saying more than a few words to her. Hopefully she didn't scare him. "You're welcome. I know the first year can be rough. Just wanted to help you out." She said with a smile and a wink. Call her Ellie, the school psychiatrist. Eh. Or not... "It's very nice to meet you, Winston. My name is Ellie." She introduced with a smile.

In Winston's mind, at least. Charisa blinked. And grinned. Well, that was good. He didn't want her to choke and die. "Thanks, I think," she said. "But just so that you know, Clarke, I've been eating since before I was born. Comes pretty natural to me." She nodded at that.
Taking another brownie, Charisa took a painstakingly slow bite out of it. Hopefully, that satisfied his fear of her choking. She looked at him again. "I can do it at will. Weird, huh?"

One year, she thought. One spectacular year. She smiled and helped herself to a peppermint humbug.
She was looking forward to meeting some new friends this year. Claire approached the Ravenclaw table, she was brimming with excitement as it was the beginning to her new life, her first year at Hogwarts. She marvelled at the enchanted ceiling as she passed groups of students talking about their holidays and about classes.
Claire spotted Emily and hurried over to take the seat beside her.
"Hey Em," she said enthusiastically as she helped herself to some food. The roast chicken looked particularly good, as did the basil pesto pasta.
"So classes start tomorrow", she added smiling in Emily's direction. "Ready to win the house cup this year?" she asked.

"Absolutely!, seriously that house cup has our name on it... and if not... I'll kiss a slytherin." Emily really didn't want to kiss a slytherin. She knew she would have to work extra hard this year, not just to win the house cup, but also to do well in her N.E.W.T.S examination. She hoped to start a good job at the Ministry next year, prefferably in the area of magical law enforcement. She had always wanted to be an auror like her father, though her mother wasn't too pleased with this idea. "You excited for classes?" asked Emily as she glanced up at the staff table.

"They don't look that bad... in fact some of them are quite cute", she said nudging Emily in the ribs playfully.
"Mmmm classes should be interesting, I just hope I do well enough... thats kind of the scary bit. Not being familiar with it." she said looking around at all the other first years. Most of whom didn't seem to have any idea what Hogwarts was like, from its enchanted ceiling, to the moving portaits and staircses, the ghosts and peeves the poltergeist. Claire knew about hogwarts of course, being from a pureblood family. And though she knew she had magical abilities she hadn't had the chance to practise magic yet. This worried her slightly.
"So do we get to share a dorm? or are they organised by year groups?" she asked, hoping that she would be able to share a dorm with her friend.

"Ok, how bout if Ravenclaw don't win the house cup... you can kiss a slytherin in my honor!" she said, though after having a look at the slytherin table she had to admitt, there were a few diamonds in the rough. "You be fine with classes, you'll have me to help you if you need it, and the teachers are really friendly so dont stress." she said adding some more mashed potato to her plate. "As for dorms.... its generaly seperated into the boys and then the girls but they don't distinguish between year levels, so we should be fine to get a room together". she said patting Claire on the back. They were practically family after all.
Emily heard a rumour, whispers passing down the table behind her... Hufflepuff had lost 20 points already. "Does anyone know why?" she asked looking around the table.

Katelynn took some pudding, and turned to talk to Helen with her mouth full. "I wonder what the teachers will be like, and who teaches what? I mean-" *chew chew* "what if one of the teachers is really mean?"

Emily heard a rumour, whispers passing down the table behind her... Hufflepuff had lost 20 points already. "Does anyone know why?" she asked looking around the table.
"It would be my pleasure" replied Claire giggling slightly as she peered over to a particularly cute black haired boy at the slytherin table.
"Besides Xavier wouldn't be too happy if you kissed a slytherin", she said thinking about her brother. He was in training to be an auror, he was also engaged to Emily. Though their engagement was arranged - the Black and Browne families were close- they had been in love since Emily first started Hogwarts.
Emily was first her friend and would soon be her sister.
"Well if huffelpuff have already lost 20 points then we shouldn't really need to worry about coming last this year", she said, though she knew it was foolish to state this so early in the term. Fingers crossed she wouldn't lose them any points.

Fingers crossed she wouldn't lose them any points. "Mmmm, I'm sure he would be really pleased." replied Emily grinning. "But no doubt I'm sure he wouldn't like you kissing a slytherin either". Emily laughed.
Xavier was a lot like his father, very proud, very stubborn and very flirtacious, but he was in love, and this also made him incredibly protective and the jealous type. Emily thought it was cute. He had threatened to arrest a drunk wizard at the leaky cauldron during the summer because he had advanced on her whilst Xavier was getting drinks.
Emily smiled. One more year and she would be able to spend the rest of her life with Xavier, she was hoping the wedding would take place at the end of the school year but they were going to have to delay it a few more months. Then she would finally be Mrs Emily Black. It seemed strange thinking about getting married whilst she was still at school. "It is a promising start to the year isn't it. Not being equal last", she said.

And most people don't appreciate it when a random girl decides to bite them. "Oh yes, of coouurse." she said, smiling at his ever-so-charming wink. Winks and smirks, back and forth, she loved it. Those were her two favorite facial expressions. *nod* Mhmm. And it was even better on her favorite boy. Oh! Did she really just think that? Oh yes. She did. At least Alex wasn't a mind reader, oooh she would be so done for if he could read her mind. (OOC: bahah, i copied you. teehee.) Oh and then was the wiggling of the eyebrows. Her favorite Alex trademark was the eyebrow wiggles. Hm, maybe there was a connection from his eyebrows to her nervous system, because everytime he wiggled his eyebrows, so did her nerves. Huh, weird thought. Woah, caught up in the eyebrows. Did he just say sneak out?! A grin stretched across her face. "Oh, you dog!" She whispered loudly. A shifty expression overtook her face as she looked upward and tapped her chin. "Though sneaking out... I like the sound of that." She said. She looked back down at Alex and winked at him with the same shifty expression. Jeez, she should've been sorted in Slytherin!
She smiled to herself as Alex ran his hand through his hair and scratched his neck. Nervous? He'd ask again in a month. "I'll be waiting, then." she said. Good, now he'd have to see her again. Not that Ellie thought he'd just walk away and never come back. Well she certainly hoped not...
Ellie nodded while Alex explained to her. She could only imagine how hard it would be to leave her family (assuming her family actually had a loving relationship) who lived in a completely different continent for a whole school year. "I'm sorry... That must be really hard for you." She tried sympathizing, but it was hard. Alex's story was completely different than hers. She frowned. And the city. She'd never been to a big city before. Besides Muggle London, but that was old news to her. "I wonder what it's like in America." She said dreamily. "All the tall buildings, the city lights, people everywhere... Oh, the Statue of Liberty, too. Of course, that's only what I've seen in pictures." Oh, and the hotdog stands everywhere, right...? Or were those just in movies...
Though she was very interested in their conversation, it was the next part Alex said that caught her by surprise. I'm having too much fun right where I am talking to you. And at the moment I wouldn't have it any other way. It took a second for Ellie to absorb that. A cute boy, but not just any cute boy, the cute boy, just told her that he was having fun talking to her and that he wouldn't have it any other way...! Wow, Ellie could be such a sap sometimes. Oh, right. Staring is rude, Ellie, say something. Her face immediatley flushed."Oh." Ah yes, so profound. She looked up at his hazel eyes. His green Slytherin robes really brought out the green in them and it was hard not to stare. "I wouldn't have it any other way either." She said with a smile. And it was true. She would have liked to say more, but she couldn't. She didn't know what to say. Alex had left her speechless once again. Alex chuckled and shrugged. "Aw, it's alright if you want to go around biting people you definitely should." he winked. "Really don't hold back." she should start nomming. Hm, who should she eat? Oh wait, these thoughts were so weird and worse than that; they were soo creepy! He actually kind of scared himself...
She called him a dog... Erm, was that a good thing? Did she think of him as her pet or did he smell bad perhaps? Nah, of course he didn't smell bad it must be the hair. His ruffled hair yes that had to be it. Or perhaps people just randomly said that to people. Whatever she meant he decided to just stand there and grin like a mad man. Ooh then she got a shifty expression, so very shifty. He smirked at her when she said that she liked his idea of sneaking out. "Ah you do now? It's a date then?" he winked. People said that, called meetings with their friends date, this didn't necessarily mean something unless Ellie took it like that then yes he meant it like that. Heh, sneaky. "No don't be sorry." he smiled, never did he want her sorry for anything. He chuckled when she got a dreamy expression on her face, that was just so cute um... cute oh whatever it was cute. Oh yes he'd thought it. "Well I told you I'll take you there someday. So you can see for yourself." he winked. Wouldn't it be so amazing to show Ellie around New York? The answer would be yes, yes it would be totally amazing.
Did she stare? Yes she did, he must have said something wrong. He immediatly started to search his brain for the last thing he'd said to her, nope nothing was found in there. Well of course things were found in his brain kind of... Onwards! but not the right things. Then she blushed, aw he loved when she blushed. What to do except squishing her into a hug? Smiling. Yeah smiling always worked. "Ah really? Well that's good then." he smirked. So they both were standing where they wanted to and they both wouldn't want it any other way? This was sounding good to Alex' ears.

"Daniel, how are you?" Rex asked him. " Have you seen my sister Victoria and/or cousin Joey?' Rex asked Daniel. " They are both in Ravenclaw, so I came to visit them" Rex explained to Daniel.

" Hugo, have you seen Fee?" Rex asked him."Did you have a good holiday?" Rex asked Hugo. 'We are going to hang out more this term, right?" Rex asked Hugo.
" Good, you will love the teachers and the classes, too" Rex told Aiden. "Well, any body of any house can go over and hang with whomever at the feast" Rex explained to Aiden. " You can go to the teachers table, too but I am not sure if you can go to the prefects table" Rex said to Aiden. "Do you swim?" Rex asked Aiden. Hugo smiled as Rex approached him. They hadn't talked in a while. "Yeah, I think she's around this table somewhere," he nodded. "Totally," he said, then blinked a bit. "Why didn't you tell me you were getting married?" he asked, then extended his arm and said "Congratulations, by the way. I need to meet the lucky girl!"

Katelynn took some pudding, and turned to talk to Helen with her mouth full. "I wonder what the teachers will be like, and who teaches what? I mean-" *chew chew* "what if one of the teachers is really mean?"
" I sure hope not, the ones in my muggle school were bad enough - let alone, having a mean teacher that could hex us and possibly kill us with the flick of their wand. " Helen said then laughing after seeing that Katelynn had a bit of pudding on her chin. " Katelynn, you have a bit of ..... umm cake on your chin " Helen said pointing to the place where the cake was on her chin.

"Really?" she smiled. "Here?"
Katelynn got the bit of cake of and laughed.
"But --" she said, after calming down "I don't exactly think that you should worry about getting killed by a teacher exactly. That would be one serious punishment!" she said with a grin.

I finally get to learn how to use this thing properly." She said as she pulled her wand from her pocket and gave it a careful wave. "I think Defence Against the Dark Arts will be very important. I'll be looking forward to that." Willow looked away for a minute wondering if she would ever have to use them. In her position, probably. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Ava Jade Lyall Fourth Year | Open for anybody! :) | Ava Jade the Valiant | ❤ Mrs. Caspian ❤
Ava Jade strolled down the Ravenclaw table, glancing around for anybody she might remember from previous terms at Hogwarts. She was good at making new friends too -- shyness had never been an issue for her -- but being a single yellow among all the blue made it a bit hard to strike up conversation.

Deidre looked up and down the table at the sea of unfamiliar faces. It wasn't easy not knowing anyone and no one knowing her. Not a single person. She helped herself to a plate of food and propped a book up behind her plate to read as she ate. She paused a moment before starting to take in the interesting dynamics at the staff table. She was considering going to say hello, but she wasn't as sure now...

" Yes, Rene and I will be married after we both graduate this term" Rex told the shocked Emily. " Good, you will meet her definitely" Rex said to Emily. Emily smiled "Well good for you Rexy-boy" Emily said giving Rex a sheepish smile, which still held the mystery her smiles always held.

Laughter and chattering filled the whole room, but it all seemed mute to her. She was mainly focused on this girl in front of her, a possible future friend.
"I'm Brielle, by the way." she smiled, extending out her hand for a shake. Lotte suddenly snapped out of her reverie. She looked up and saw a girl with a wide grin plastered on her face. "It most definitely is," she laughed. "Being in Hogwarts sure has its perks! Look at this food! My stomach's grumbling already."
"Brielle! What a lovely name. I'm Charlotte, but it's usually Lotte for short." She smiled as she shook the girl's hand. "It's great to meet another Ravenclaw. I was beginning to think that I was the only First Year in our house," she said, recognising Brielle as one of students who had just been sorted. Quote:

Slowly she picked up her plate and slid over to where they were sat. She sort of waved as she sat down and reached for a treacle tart. Lotte noticed another girl heading towards her and Brielle. Before she knew it, she had already sat down right beside them. She looked oddly familiar. "I must have seen her on the train," she decided.
"Good choice," she nodded approvingly, watching the girl place a mouthwatering treacle tart on her plate. "Seems like we both have similar tastes in dessert," she winked.
"I'm Charlotte, but you can call me Lotte if you like." She glanced at Brielle and grinned, waiting for her to introduce herself. It certainly seemed like they were on their way to making new friends. Quote:

Aaaalright so he was a Slytherin welcoming a first year Claw... Wasn't that the Prefect's job? Still couldn't hurt though. Unless the girl was afraid of Snakes... O_o Lotte rubbed her hands gleefully. There was just so much food! She didn't know which one to try first. "Hmm... the minced pie looks scrumptious... But, I'm really in the mood for some of those custards..." she mused to herself. The First Year tapped her chin thoughtfully, debating over which to pick.
"Argh! That's it! I give up," she muttered, reaching for a piece of toast instead. Just as she was about to take a bite, a boy suddenly approached her table. He seemed suspicious at first, but he managed to shrug it off pretty quickly.
He smiled and welcomed someone to Ravenclaw. Lotte wondered who he was talking to. She turned her head and glanced at the people beside her. It took about ten seconds to realise that he might be addressing her.
Her face turned a bright shade of red. "Er... Are you talking to me? 'Cause if you are, then I just want to say hi. But if you're not... then, well... um... I'm r-really sorry for answering your question...?" She cringed as the words tumbled from her mouth.
Lotte wished the earth to swallow her up. Classes haven't even started yet, and she had already managed to make a fool out of herself. In front of an older boy, no less! Wait... was he also in Slytherin?!
Ah, this day just keeps getting worse and worse.
