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 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.

"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.

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?"

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.

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?"

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...

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!"

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.

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.
