Chelsea was happy to see one of her friends she made on the train was sorted into Slytherin "I know Sage got into Gryffindor and Temperance was sorted into Ravenclaw. I'm glad to see at least someone i know was sorted into Slytherin though" she said.

"I don't think the house elves did their job very well. At my aunt and uncles manor this would never be acceptable." Chelsea reached into her bag "Here take this one its clean and real silver" she gave Violet a spoon "I knew I would need it for a reason" she explained. Chelsea tended to over pack a lot of pointless things but this was one time she was glad she did.


"I've used one of those to trick one of my friends from Durmstrang. It was pretty funny" she replied.

*blink* The girl from across the way was talking to her again...A spell for odors...Did Marilyn know any? Thinking hard, nothing jumped to the forefront like it usually did. That would be a negative.

Shaking her head, the blonde felt a little depressed that she actually did NOT know such a useful spell. Research would begin tomorrow. This must be remedied at once!!

*cough* "It's just awful. This whole feast has been one large FAIL!" Merlin, Marilyn didn't even want to think about what the dorms would look like. If simple tasks like dishes had been abandoned, there was NO telling what else had also been. Classrooms...The Library...

Bathrooms....*gag*

"I know! I use the Nosebleed Nougat on my brother all the time!" Faina laughed at the memory. But he would always get her back somehow... "So do you have any siblings?" Faina asked while sipping out of a goblet.

Chelsea laughed "Nice! I tricked my uncle with an acid pop once" she said. "No I don't have any I'm an only child" she explained.

"So that Lord Borr guy works at the ministry? I think i heard my older brother complaining about him once..." He looked thoughtful for a moment before he shrugged his shoulders. "I got the same feeling! Last year when i got my school books Evan , the Prefect from last year, told me to look in the books before school." He looked sad at the thought of his friend. Why did he have to go again? Oh yeah, graduating , growing up . Well it was stupid! "I thought the book was interesting but when we got the homework i lost interest in it." he sighed as he rubbed his forehead again. The headache he had had in the train was starting to get back again.

Daichi raised an suprised eyebrow when she mentioned Professor Lafay. "You're the first person i met that spoke high of her." He said and smiled broadly but the smile broke down in a groan and he had to rub his temple with his fingers. "I think she's scary... someone you don't want on your bad side but.." He also remembered the praise and the smile she had given him last year for help winning the Quidditch cup. "I guess she's cool"

"I-I-I'm sorry!" Daichi bowed his head in shame as the girl started to shout at him. "I really am! i'm sorry! I didn't mean too.." His lower lip started to tremble a bit and he REFUSED to cry. No, he would NOT cry!

Blinking his eyes rapidly because he was always scared whenever someone shouted at him , Daichi winched when Ainsley said it were brand new clothes. The second year stood up from the table and reached with his hand for a napkin that lay in the middle of the table. "Sorry!" he said again and started to deb the clothes dry. Which was not working. Daichi bit his lower lip and grabbed his wand from his holster. "I - i can clean it for you" and he pointed his wand at the girl. ......Nothing happened. "I don't know the drying spell!" he shouted in despair and felt extremely stupid. He layed his head on top of the table, pout visible on his face. Where was Evan when he needed him?! He would know what to do!

It was only then that he heard Ainsley mumbling that it had been her goblet. He blinked again and held his head up from the table. "W-What?..no wait.. i don't even want to know..." he muttered. Luckily the subject changed, something he was grateful for because it was embarrassing. "I-i think that if you're just nice to people n-n-nothing bad is going to happen...i think" he stuttered. The shout had really made him somewhat nervous. "I can't tell about the professor though, m-most of them are new." He eyed the staff table and his eyes landed on their head of house. "Oh! a little warning ." he said , looking back at Ainsley. "Our head of house, professor lafay is... well... you don't want her on your bad side." Yup the truth.

"Nice to meet you Ainsley, what year are you?" Orchid said as she saw her smile and that she had a bit of food stuck in her teeth. "Um..." She said in a whisper. "You have a little something in your teeth." She said as she pointed to her own teeth in a scratching motion.

Orchid smiled hearing this from William. "Well, I enjoyed talking with you as well, but no I thought we were to remain seated at our tables until the feast was done, but I guess I was wrong." She smiled and chuckled lightly. "I don't have a favorite yet, but when I was homeschooling I always liked Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures, having that opportunity to work with something that others might find unattractive, while I usually just find them uniquely beautiful." She finished with a smile.

"Your lucky," Faina said, jokingly of course, "That buffoon down there is my twin brother," Faina pointed down the table towards her brother Fallon. She stuck her tongue out at her brother, who in return, stuck his tongue out at her. "We're actually kind of close, but we love to prank eachother. But Fallon is more about 'pureblood' and all that."

"Hey, thanks!" exclaimed Violet, eyeing the new spoon--she only briefly considered why the other girl carried spoons around in her bag. "Yeah, my governess would have a fit if she saw these; she's very big on tidiness," she went on. "Most house elves would never let stuff like this go out on the table, though--something must be wrong."

Violet craned her neck to look around the Great Hall to see if anything looked amiss--well, anything besides the angry professor and the girls who had gotten into a gum fight. She looked up at the Head Table to see if any of the teachers looked worried or anything.

"Sometimes I wish I had a sister" Chelsea admitted. "But I'm also glad to be an only child because when I want my space I get it"

"My parents believe we're superiors because we're pureblood but I don't think that way. I was mainly raised by my aunt and uncle who are the complete opposites" she explained.

"I know what you mean my aunt is the same way she would throw a fit if our house elves slacked off on cleaning"

"I'm scared to see the condition of the common rooms I hope there in better shape than the silverware...I mean after all that is where we'll be living" she said. She really hopped the Slytherin common room was clean and well kept.

"Yeah. I love the food. Or I just love food itself." Ronnie said laughing and taking a seat. "That's nice of your mum. Maybe you could just use your hands, or maybe that's a bit too disgusting..." Ronnie said thinking of it herself. She then pulled out a Nosebleed Nougat and showed Faina. "Anyone you're thinking on pranking later today?" she whispered, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, we live in a fairly large house. So we actually have enough space," Faina paused, "A little too much space," She added.


"Well... there is this one girl from Ravenclaw who made me angry at a shop. We could get Caelius to slip one secretly in her food..." Faina grinned, the plan forming in her head.

"So does my aunt and uncle they own a huge manor I just meant I don't have people bothering me constantly its very relaxing." she said.

"I really hope the common rooms are in much better shape than the silverware...looks like the house elves are not doing their jobs. My aunt would throw a fit of our house elf tried to put out silverware like this"

Ariana spotted Scarlett a girl she had met on the train. "Scarlet!, come sit here!!" she waved scarlet over too the spot next to her. she was soo thrilled that Scarlett was in Slytherin as well!


Just as Ariana finished waving Scarlett over to her she looked down at her plate.. "eww." she said quietly to herself. "is this how it always is?" just as those words slipped from her mouth, her plate, cup & silverware turned to she shiniest silver she had ever seen as if by... magic... she looked around and saw Marilyn with her wand out and a smile on looking at Ariana. Ariana said "thank you." quietly but she assumed Marilyn would read her lips & get the message.

"I know exactly what you mean! My mother would have me out of this school faster than you could say 'Merlin's pants!' I'm just going to tell her I need silverware for a project or something!" Faina laughed.

Danielle elegantly glided into the Great Hall in her usual manner as she headed for the Slytherin table and went to sit down. The beautiful sixth year kept a smile on her face as she looked at all of the new students and younger ones before picking up an apple and slowly biting into it. Her blonde curls fell over her shoulders perfectly, her make up was flawless and she even managed to make her uniform look good.

Oh she hoped this would be yet another good year at Hogwarts.

Jade ran into The Great hall and threw her arms in the air. "Home again!" She said, running to The Slytherin house table. After falling last year she thought it would be best to swing wide around the table to avoided tripping.

"I have the same problem, I don't really know why I was put in Slytherin. Where do you think the sorting hat should have placed you?" Angelina asked. She wondered if a lot of people are put in the house they got and not know why. For Angelina she thought she would be in Hufflepuff, but not Slytherin.

"I'm from the east part of America," Angelina told Gwen while sitting up staight, and smiling to herself. "Are you from Ireland, or somewhere nearby?" Angelina guessed, because of how Gwen spoke.

Violet looked over at the other girl. She knew just what she meant by 'too much space.' Sometimes she felt like the only person alive in their big house. But if she had a brother or sister, they might be pure-blooded like the rest of her mother's family and give her grief for being a half-blood like the rest of them did.

"That Ravenclaw must have made you pretty mad, then," she chuckled, "but you'd better be careful not to get caught. Did you see our Head of House up there yelling at those girls who got in a food fight?"

"Good Idea! and I know I'm going to send an owl for my aunt to send me some silverware because if she found out she would have me out of this school quick. She already wanted to send me to Beauxbatons or Durmstrang and this would give her more of a reason to" she explained

She nodded as he talked, "Oh I love France," she replied dreamily. It was such a beautiful city, she thought to herself. "Were you on a holiday with your family?" she asked him as she came from behind Tori, not that she was sure the coast was clear.

Harlow shook her head furiously. "No, it was still in the wrapper." She pointed to Sierra. "That girl just starting throwing them around after she spit in Tori's hand." She wasn't usually a tattle tell, but what Sierra had done was beyond disgusting in Harlow's book and it brokered no code of silence.

"Ariana! You're in Slytherin too! So glad I have at least a couple of people I know here now" Scarlett smiled as she placed herself next to her new friend picking off the main plates in front of her.
"How was it being sorted? I was stressing out so much.. but I think the hat made a good decision." She looked down the table seeing all the happy faces who were more than proud of their house.

Tori frowned deeply, fighting the urge to stick her tongue out at this bossy professor.

"Victoria M. Bunbury, Professor," she answered sullenly. "And I already picked it up." Duhhhhhhhhhhhh.

"Yeah wow," Tori replied to the girl, rolling her eyes but speaking much quieter now. "Big woop, she can hit a ball. You're still both liars."

And that was just a crime in the Princess's book.

Tori had hardly even noticed that Harlow was in hiding, until she spoke again of course. She peeked over her shoulder at the younger girl and nodded.

"Right? OBVIOUSLY we all know what sort of class Sierra Greingoth belongs to."

The no-good, low-down, dirty, rotten, spoiled class of CRIMINALS.

"Okay. Good idea! WHere is this Caelius person?"

OOC: Okay, guys. I feel like I need to make an out-of-character clarification of my post. Tori was standing almost right next to Sierra, and Sierra threw about four - six pieces of gum directly at her. Then Lafay happened to walk in that direction and get hit, as well. The gum wasn't thrown with force all around the table, though.



The house table had somehow turned into complete and total chaos, and in an unsettling sort of way, Sierra felt somewhat responsible for that. Of course, she may only own up to that in her thoughts. Outside of that, Candy Mountain Girl was completely to blame. Completely. Amidst all the chaos, though, a familiar sounding voice somehow reached Sierra's ears, and the third year turned sharply toward Kimalia Fanster.

Wait...

She was going down for her? As in, taking all the blame? Sierra blinked. Kimalia Fanster was a Slytherin, right? I mean, she wasn't some Puffer who frequently wore green, hmm? No, Kimalia was a Slytherin. Sierra was sure of that, because the girl played Chaser on their house team. So, ...why was she taking all the blame, hmm? Could it be...dare she think it? A friendly gesture? She blinked again, made a mental note to speak with Kimalia later, and then let her eyes flicker back to Lafay.



OOC: Continued under Droo's quote.

Sierra's eyes, narrowed in annoyance, flickered back to this girl. Whoever she was, she still didn't know; but this one would prove to be a problem. Kurumi Hollingberry was quite possibly less annoying than this. However, Sierra said nothing to the girl just yet. If there was anything she'd learned in the past two years, it was sit down, shut up, and listen when in the presence of Lafay. Even Sierra wasn't brave enough to chance getting on Lafay's bad side. Especially not now... Then, most importantly, was the fact that Lafay was one person Sierra could never and would never lie to.



She hung her head and nodded. Yes, she had taken this girl's candy. It was completely unlike her, but regardless, it had happened. "I did," she answered, still not looking up. If she had any doubt before, she didn't now--everyone, she just knew, was looking right at her. She was living out one of her worst fears--admitting failure.

She finally looked back up at Lafay and spoke so softly that it was likely only her Head of House and the Candy Mountain Girl could hear her. "I hadn't eaten in two days," she admitted, eyes fixed on Lafay's eyes, "and when I counted my money on the train, I only had enough for one chocolate frog. So I took a few of hers and some gum, too..."

Both her head and eyes turned toward the girl again. "I apologize," she said. "It's completely unlike me, and when I have enough money, I'll buy you some more candy."



Sierra looked at Kimalia, her face displaying an apologetic look. Now she'd let Kimalia down. The one person at her own house table who was willing to stand up for her, and Sierra didn't even deserve the help. ...and the girl had even used the term accomplished beater...

"Crap, I didn't think of that!" Faina said. "But she did accuse me of stealing things, which I totally didn't!"

"My mother went to Beauxbatons. She wanted me to go there too! Haha, well if we do get shipped out there, at least we will know eachother!" Faina laughed.
