Eat, drink, and be merry, O Eagles. Classes begin again tomorrow.

The glittering night sky is clear and visible through the enchanted ceiling, and the floating candles bedeck the entire hall in a warm golden light. All seems well with the world, aside from the empty plates still waiting for food to appear.

~~And what's this? The silverware is tarnished and askew, almost as if thrust on the table willy-nilly. Take a seat and search for a clean spoon while the Sorting Hat ceremony commences.~~ The House Elves have done their clean up work quickly and effectively, and the silverware and dishes are now set to right.

There wasn't too many anymore but there were enough to give the rest of them a bad reputation.

"Oh, I know, I've met a few pure-bloods and most of them are very humble." He smiled. "I'm mixed blood, my father is a pure-blood and my mother is a half-blood" He wasn't too sure if that was right but ignored the thought.
"So what classes are you looking forward to?" He politely asked, smiling.

Hearing the boy pour out his sentiments, Beezus couldn't help but relate .. True or not, she wanted to comfort him , regardless of what he said earlier.. She didn't want anyone feeling isolated like she did for over the past three years of her life .. Swallowing, she told Mickey "Mick, I'll just follow the lad, 'kay ?"

Not waiting a response, she stood up and followed Caelius, she reached his arm and, "Uhm .. " she began , breathing heavily ..

"That makes two of us !" she exclaimed. "If you mean a half blood then I am too.." she added. Uh-huh. She was a halfblood and was proud of it.

Her eyes grew slightly and she blushed deeply. Her voice getting lower again. "M-mixed blood is where you have more Wizarding blood, plus something else. Sometimes, three bloods can be mixed..." She looked down softly purring, it obvious she had at least feline in her blood.

"Hello again, Mickey..." Cael trailed off sadly. "My parents are dead, but I'll be sure to pass on your sentiments the next time I visit their graves. Also I have already apologized and clarified I meant no ill feelings, so if you'll forgive me I must be going..." Cael turned away sadly, determined not to cry.

After going off on a tangent Scott said "Sorry, I overreacted" softly. "I am sorry for your loss, but please watch your mouth, otherwise you will give many people the wrong impression."

He knew this would happen, as soon as he told his parents deaths, he knew he would back off.

"It seems my mouth already has," Cael sat with a rattling breath as he blinked back the tears. "I guess I probably deserve it, even though somehow everything originated from good intentions, but I guess we know which road is paved with those..." he trailed off sadly.

"Thanks..." he replied awkwardly as she offered her condolences. "I know we only met briefly before, but... are we ok?" he asked lamely.

She quickly interrupted him, "Would you just stop bowing ? It's .. ugh, disgusting .." It really was, bowing like that when he thinks lowly of them.

But he did not stop there. He then introduced himself, Caelius Ashdown eh ? Well, that name would be remembered. "I don't really think that introductions are even necessary now Mr. Ashdown when all you wanted to just insult us and think lowly of us non-purebloods." Beezus said slowly, controlling her temper.

And another bow, she looked away. And there, many heads were facing their direction, Beatrice didn't want to get the attention of those on the staff table, as much as she wanted to tell the boy more, she couldnt .. Instead she only told him .. "I'll let this one pass this time."

Cael nodded, saddened that she hadn't believed him. It was practically written all over her face. When she looked toward the staff table his heart rose into his throat. Was he about to lose them all housepoints? Now everyone would really despise him, if they didn't already...

She shocked him though, when she changed her mind, offering to ignore it instead. He nodded sadly, there really wasn't much left to say at this point. Perhaps he should do a little soul-searching and maybe, just maybe, he would get the chance to prove her wrong about him, but that would have to be for later. He swiftly walked over to Mickey to patch things up.

Sure, she was proud, sure, she was cold sometimes, but she was at a new school with new people. She didn't need to make herself enemies so soon.

Last of that line? Gah. He needed to have some boys...to carry on the name. He seemed to be in the same predicament as her father. Ashdown did indeed seem a familiar name. It even sounded pureblood. She smirked in an almost nonchalant way. The he said orphaned...uh oh. Elliot didn't deal with hat stuff! Pity and compassion wasn't second nature, she didn't know what to say..or do..so she, "Oh..well...that's all right...I mean..parents aren't always..cool..." she stuttered, rather lamely. Elliot felt a weird feeling in her stomach...pity? Maybe. She wouldn't know...she had never felt that before.

"Wales! So pretty. I'm sure you live midst the most beautiful mountains!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. She loved a good natural scenery home. Hers was the same, as well. Just not in Wales.

She then peeked under the table to get a view of the ferret, Juppiter. He looked...mean. She liked him. She sat back up and smirked. "He seems like my kind of pet. I don't like cuddly pets," she replied, thinking of her crup. Moze was not cuddly at all. He was as cuddly as a dragon. She then raised an eyebrow at his last statement. She had mixed feelings about clothing. She didn't like the 'fashion' of it, it was too..well, there were more important things in life. but she did like to look good. She always very simple, lacey pieces. She had a laced robe, actually(they never wore muggle clothes). She looked at him, staring at his school robes, and cackled. "I'm sure you would be a fashion god if we were not at school!"

"Er, yes..." Cael offered lamely, ashamed he had zoned out a bit during her conversation. He couldn;t stop thinking about the massive blow out he had almost caused, albeit, not intentionally. Merlin, he really was the worst... at least Elliot still liked him...

Giggling, she jumped back down and looked up at him grinning.
"Hi Faina! Do you mind if I borrow Cael for a minute?" she said before dragging him away somewhere quiet.Turning to face him, she began.
"I've been meaning to tell you something ever since we got off the train." Willow said. "I know what you told me was really personal and hard for you to say and I feel very privilaged that you feel comfortable enough around me to tell me that."
Looking straight into his moss-green eyes, she continued. "I just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, or a shoulder to lean on, you know where you can come. I'll always be here."
Looking back over his shoulder at the Ravenclaw table, Willow sighed for dramatic effect. "I suppose I better let you get back to Faina!" she said, getting the giggles once more. She threw her arms around Cael and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "See you 'round buddy"
And, giving him one last smile, she started returning to her seat...

"Willow, I think I might need that talk now..." Cael shuddered nearly on the verge of tears.

"So what classes are you looking forward to?" He politely asked, smiling.

"I'm pureblood but I will admit I do have a little Veela blood in me a very small amount so I don't have really any of the traits" she said. Chelsea had an amount of veela blood in her that she only got the beauty and charm. She didn't have enough to get the other traits which she was happy about.

"I'm looking forward mostly to Defense and Potions. What about you?" she asked.

Alice shifted uncomfortably in her seat; she just wanted the feast to be over. It’s not that she didn’t like the feast, it’s just she’d much rather be in the common room reading. At least then she would feel awkward in her own house. She looked at the people across from her and said a timid "Hello". Hopefully this time someone will acknowledge her unlike the last two years.

Smiling, she said "Yeah, well I am very proud to say that I am a first year Ravenclaw now. But .." Beezus pulled away, "You're in Hufflepuff right ?"

Well, that was a little sad, the two of them not being in the same house ..

Shannon was surprised when Beezus turned quickly to face him and automatically gave him a tight hug. He returned her hug and gave her a large smile. "Yeah it's me." He confirmed nodding his head at her. He nodded his head again, "Yeah, I'm in Hufflepuff." He told her, it seemed like that news kind of broke her heart. "But it's alright, we'll see lots of each other over the term." He told her. "Promise." He said sticking his hand out towards her, with his pinky sticking out. "Pinky promise." He offered. Sure it was childish, but he NEVER broke a pinky promise.

"I know house elves go way back," he said kind of quietly. His next words might sound a little rude, but it was the only way he could think to phrase it. "Ya know how people bred dogs to do certain things? Like hunt and stuff? Maybe... that's sort of how house elves were started." He grimaced again at his words. They didn't sound good. "I mean, most of 'em love to serve, right? They've probably just been... brought up that way." Still, it was horrible that they were so worried about doing everything right that they would hurt themselves if they did something wrong.

"Have you ever been to the kitchens?" he asked Ivory curiously.

Her blush long forgotten, Ivory found herself listening to his theory attentively leaning forward slightly to hear his quiet tone."You know, although the implications of that are just...horrible." she suppressed a shudder at how the wizarding world could've condoned such a thing. "It would make sense. Especially since unfree house elves are under an enchantment of sorts to obey their master's right. Maybe, an ingrained compulsion from the beginning" Shaking her head sadly, she was taken aback for a second at his next question.

The kitchens? Her?

Straightening up, she nodded excitedly her somber mood lifted slightly. "Of course," she assured him with a dimpled smile that turned slightly embarrassed. " Guilty pleasure, I have to confess. Good place to study at night actually. Especially, if your like me and like to snack while you read." Which actually might just be her...oh boy.

Scott noticed an older girl, sitting on her own not talking to anyone.
"Hello, I'm Scott Rowe." he said smiling.
There had been a bit of an argument but everything was settling down now.
"What's your name?" He asked politely.

"I'm also looking forward to Defense, that and transfiguration."
"I haven't met many Slytherins but most of them have been nice." He said.

Orr gasped in astonishment, "Really? Wizards and Witches get together with other magical creatures? That is really cool." There is nothing like that in the muggle world. Maybe children of mixed races came close but not species since their parents were still human

She now started to smile, her Shannon was there .. But yes, he truly was in Hufflepuff .. But he said that they would still see each other often, that made Beezus smile widely.

She knew promises were meant to be broken. But this one, she'll make sure she wont, "Pinky promise." Beezus said, nodding as she reached out her finger towards Shannon's pinky finger. It was nice. Now there is someone she can run to and someone who'll never leave her. Hopefully ..

Elliot was only vaguely aware that Cael was immersing himself in other conversations at the same time as her. She didn't mind, he was being social. But now he seemed a bit down..maybe she had hurt his feelings? No, Elliot didn't say anything too mean or anything. She was so self-involved that she hadn't actually paid any attention to any of his other conversations...

"You okay?" she asked seriously, raising those eyebrows of hers and boring her icey eyes into his for a good, long time. She scooted a little closer to him and nudged him gently on the arm. She wasn't one to be overly sympathetic, or someone to really...talk to. But, she was trying. "Come on, I think you're pretty awesome," she told him, smirking. "I gave you a compliment. You have been deemed worthy by the Elliot Morganzo. Count yourself lucky, my friend," she said, her voice laced with that Elliot-like sarcasm. gah, Elliot was lousy at being a good friend.

Chelsea was proud of her Veela blood it was pretty rare to have but she certainly didn't think she was better than anyone. "I'm also looking forward to Charms class it seems like it will be a fun class" she said. "I know a few Slytherins but most of my friends are in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. Although I have come across some rude Slytherins but not many"

"So have you practiced magic at all yet?" she asked.

"Come again ?" Beezus could not believe her ears .. Someone who has feline blood ? Now who knows a person like that ? "You have feline blood ? How is that ?" she asked, totally intrigued about the whole discovery she just made,.

"I will. I'm sorry," Cael nodded, now thoroughly ashamed of himself by this point. Even people he hadn't met yet were criticizing him. So much for making friends with any of the Ravenclaw boys...

A muggleborn! Goodness. Mum and dad were right about that, then. Muggleborns do get into school. Rory wondered if their lack of knowledge about this new world would make them easy prey for some good old--no, Rory. Not now. Later.

"Ror...Ror?" Rory struggled a bit to understand her. Ror..."OH. Ror!" Of course. Rory. Aurora. The coincidence was quite amusing. Sort of. "That is interesting!" Rory said, laughing nervously. Is this what all of his conversations would consist of? Rors and--and first years? Rory had to spice up the conversation some how. But what should he say?

"Did you know that the fifteenth president of the United States was James A. Garfield?" A historical fact about a completely different country! Yes. That ought to get the conversation going. And it was a true fact, too! Rory remembered reading it somewhere in a book at a muggle shop when his mother dragged him along for a grocery shopping list. Of course, that day didn't go too well since he wandered off into the book section and she was hysterical about losing him. Oh, that was fun.

As far as I know, they're still there to this very day ... Of course, my family weren't impressed about that episode." Jez's voice became less amused. "I'm pureblood, and my parents are complete maniacs about 'continuing family bloodline' and 'purity of wizarding blood'." Jez didn't even try to keep the hatred and contempt out of her voice at her parents' beliefs. "I've met more Muggle-borns here, tonight, at this table, than I have in my entire life. And I really don't mind if a person's from a magical heritage or not. So," she took a deep breath; she hadn't meant to rant, "while we're on the subject, what about you?"

Rory nodded as he listened carefully to Jezabel's story about her brother. So there were other people egged people's houses! Mum and dad were wrong. The time he was finally banned from touching uncooked eggs, his mother and father had told him that no other kid does this except for himself. Clearly, though, that was incorrect. He was no outcast, he was an in-cast! Or something.

"Pureblood, huh? That's interesting..." Rory instantly noticed her disdain for her family's seemingly obvious prejudice again muggleborns. Of course, Rory had never really known such prejudice and quite frankly, thought it was a bit of a foreign topic as his parents never spoke of such things. "I'm a half-blood. Both of my parents have magical talents but my mother was a muggleborn."

Lifting her arm in confusion, she only had a split second to make the connection between her wet sleeve and the girl to her left's tipping goblet, before her own movements results in the goblet's inevitable further tilt.

"Eep-" A small sound escaped her lips as she maneuvered with a slight juggling movement in order to prevent the liquid some spilling further all over both of them. Luckily, her reflexes seemed to be cooperating today and she was able to hold the cup steady, the end result being the awkward situation of two people holding the same goblet.

She muttered a quick apology to the girl she sat next to, and stared determinedly at her food; her clumsy nature mad her do something stupid, again.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts" he smiled. "Always been interested in combat, but obviously it can be dangerous."

"Don't use that as an excuse" Scott said, his voice raising. Obviously he wasn't a threat as a mere first year but this guy had a problem.

"yeah It does sound like one of the best subjects" she said simply. She remembered all the stories her mother told her about the dark arts they sounded really interesting and learning how to defend herself could come in handy. She wondered if they would be allowed duel this year. "flying lessons should be fun I cant wait for them" she said happily as she allready knew how to fly but not that well.

"He-hello", she stuttered. "I-i'm Alice".

"It's a pleasure to meet you Alice. I'm Scott Rowe" He politely introduced himself.
She seemed a little nervous, he wanted to make her more comfortable.

"Are you a third or fourth year by chance?" He said.

Chelsea was nice and polite which Scott liked.
"Indeed" He smiled.
"I see. I've met many friendly people and a few, not so friendly people.
"Only simple things, such as Lumos." He paused.
My mum used to teach me when I was younger, she was worried I was a squib." He smiled.
"Have you?" He asked.
"Was there a house you were hoping for?"

"I .. just wanted to uhm .. tell you that I understand how you feel ..I do.. " there. She managed to pull that one rather nicely. She stare deeply unto his eyes as she awaited his response ..
