Dropping the fork out of surprise, Michelle almost jumped out of her seat. "Haha..hi there, sorry, couldnt resist. My name is Michelle, first year snake. Nice to meet you, Kelsey!" , Michelle giggled. "Long night, huh?"[/QUOTE]

"Yep.But i`m still excited to go to hogwarts."

Oh, well then, that...was good...

Glancing up at the staff table for a second or so, spotting the groundskeeper, Evelyn breathed out a long breathe and looked back to Mia. How in Merlin's name was she supposed to answer that question?

"I did!" she exclaimed, nodding and looking completely innocent and serious. "...Sorta." Yea, she sorta told Vico who told her to stop playing with fire. That's about as professional help as she was going to get.

Mia was in denial.

She was only saying those house elves weren't evil because she didn't want to face the embarrassment of knowing she had kissed something evil. Destiny knew it. "Fine! Merlin, they are not evil!" But.. they so were. "I'm still not going to apologize to them." She couldn't even remember why she was supposed to apologize in the first place. They got so off track with that conversation. *blink blink* "I don't remember telling you I steal, so it must not be true." The previous term was a long time ago.

OWWWWW!

Not even an hour as Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and she had already been injured. She was more than certain Mia had done that on purpose, trying to take out the competition. And then she was laughing, like one of those crazed hyenas they had seen on their safari. Destiny lowered her hand and moved her face closer to Mia's. "AM I BLEEDING!?" And yeah, she might have been yelling on purpose.

"Hey, you look like your a little lost, come sit with us" Maddy noticed the girl was in Hufflpuff, not many usualy visit the snakes table. This one must be brave. "So you got into hufflepuff" Maddy said, starting a conversation about the first thing she noticed.

Aria... No One had ever called her Aria before, She Liked it though. Eris could be a friend, But did Ariana really want a Bunch of friends? She had never really had friends before But i guess maybe now that she was with other witches & wizards it would be okay.... "ughh yeah can you imangine hundreds of thousands of heads haha!"

A house Elf! Coming to clean up.. Ariana had never heard of this Before what happened to this elf? Why did it let all the dishes go out still dirty..? This school year was already weird...

Ariana Looked at the young girl and wondered why there was a hufflepuff sitting at the slytherin table weren't we suppose to be getting to know our housemates!?!? this year was very weird in deed!

"Here, have some pumpkin juice..while we wait for punctual elves ", Michelle replied. "This term isn't starting great for everyone else, too. Our House just got points deducted, and.." Michelle stopped, not wanting to add more misery to the evening. Changing the topic, "..so, what do you think about our classes tomorrow?"

Yeah that's what she thought. "Sorta wasn't quite the deal Evelyn." Mia had only been trying to help her friend so that she didn't get into trouble. Or hurt herself or someone else but she could see that the Slytherin didn't particularly care about that.

"Well I hope for your sake, you know what you're doing. I don't plan on say anything. So I guess I can count on you not to say anything should I ever break a rule for some reason." Not that she had intentions of going out and breaking rules but you know, just in case she happened to slip up.

It was always good to have friends in high places and who owed you a favour.

Actually Mia couldn't remember what the Slytherin was supposed to apologise for either. It always happened when they got together. They constantly got off track on what they were talking about. But she did remember that conversation about her stealing things because they'd had quite the argument about it. "I swear...I am going to tape our conversations one of these days." Or maybe brew up some Veritaserum at the very least.

Sweet Merlin! The girl was nuts. Mia peered at her friend's face very carefully. "Hmm, I think I see a little blood coming out of your nose. Let me fix that for you." She reached into her pocket and instead of pulling out a napkin or tissue, she pulled out her Puffeskin Arnold, his long sticky tongue flicking out towards Destiny's face.

Maddy saw another person make their way to the Slytherin table. They also seemed to look like they diddn't know anyone. "Hey, congrats on getting into Slytherin. I'm Maddy" She said. Maddy couldn't help but notice how different this school was from her old one. "This school is actually cool" she said "my last one diddn't have uniforms let alone robes" Maddy said as she pulled on the front of her robe.

"You didn't give specifics in the deal." she muttered, turning in her seat slightly so she didn't have to crane her neck to look at Mia. "You just said to get professional help and...I sorta did."

Woaaah, woah woah woah...hold on. Was Mia...blackmailing her? Again?

Stare.

"I think we've become a bad influence on you Mia." Though she gave no indication on whether she agreed to Mia's proposal or not. More than likely though, Evelyn agreed.

Raven still sat at Slytherin table. She felt so sleepy, but the sorting hat ceremony still happened.

How many students who wasn't sorted yet? Thousands?" she yawned all the time and had nothing to do. Suddenly she took something from her pocket. a pice of parch, quill and and an inkwell.

"I wanna write for Adler and Mom."

Destiny simply stared at Mia. She had no idea what taping their conversations would prove. Unless of course, she meant the kind of tape they could use on the muggle box! Those were awesome. She got to watch her favorite moving pictures any time she wanted. And, once again, she was getting off track. "Well.. if you do that then.. I'll just never have any conversations with you again." Mia would be missing out BIG time if that happened.

O_O

Mia made her bleed. Her nose was bleeding. Blood, that was supposed to stay INSIDE of her body was coming out. Out of her NOSE. She was going to die! She needed a Healer! And with a quick glance up at the staff table, she noticed that Healer Moretti hadn't even arrived yet. She was going to DIE! Destiny'e eyes widened at the thought, and hearing Mia mention helping her, she quickly nodded her head. Yes, yes, please help!

Although, she was wishing that she hadn't nodded. "Mia!" she squealed, using her hands to cover her face from the puffskein's tongue. "If I wanted something to violate my nose, I would use my finger! Not that thing's tongue!" Get it awaaaay!!

Geraldine was not much surprised by the result of the sorting,because she always knew that she was a true-blooded SNAKE. It still relieved her though, what if she was sorted in a different house? Her father would probably disown her, Geraldine shivered at this horrible thought and focused her attention at the table full of food in front of her.

But first things first, she needed to find a vacant seat for her to sit in and maybe meet new friends. Geraldine wasn't the friendliest person you could meet but she wasn't the mean-type either....Geraldine walked around the table for a few minutes but still couldn't find a seat...she was actually secretly hoping someone to invite her in,she was too shy to actually approach the others,so she just kept circling the table like a lost puppy.

"I wanna write for Adler and Mom."

Upon hearing this, Violet sat beside this girl who's bored of waiting for other Slythies, and approached her...

"Hi, Violet Snape here..."

Suddenly Raven saw a lonely girl who sat in front of her. Then she stopped writing and tried to talked with her.

"I see you were so quite. Don't know everyone here? Raven Charlotte." she gave her hand. Maybe the girl wanted to shake her hand.
Another freshgirl of Slytherin, said her. Then she put the parch, quill and inkwell to her pocket and smiled to her.


"Hi, Welcome to Slytherin. I'm Raven Charlotte."

Amethyst's ear perked up, having heard a voice from the Slytherin table. She smiled, walked over to the girl and sat next to her. "Yeah, I did. I see you got into Slytherin.." She blushed. It was really obvious.

Geraldine was quite tired from pacing around the table so she decide to take a seat on a vacant chair. Across her sat a girl about her age,writing on a piece of parchment,upon seeing Geraldine sitting infront of her,the girl stopped writing and talked with Geraldine.

“uhmmm,well yeah, i dont know anyone here” Geraldine replied shyly,with a hint of a smile on her face.

“Nice to meet you Raven, my name is Geraldine De La Roche,most people call Geraldine” smiling again at her new found acquaintance.

Raven held out a hand to Geraldine,so Geraldine took it and the two girls both shook hands.

"nice to meet you too, Geraldine." Raven raised up her glasses, but she thought that Geraldine's surname was unique. She asked her.

"Nice name, sounds that you are not British. aren't you? So where do you come from?"

"Hi, Welcome to Slytherin. I'm Raven Charlotte."

"So both of us are first years huh? Well, what do you think of Hogwarts?"

That question is better instead of nothing right? The sorting Hat is right I'm not good in these socializing..

Professor Hecate teaches potions and I don't.... she looked down the table to see said teacher standing before some students think....I.....have she answered in split sentences. If she heard correct, Slytherin had lost points before the school year even started!! Lysandra facepalmed and shook her head. Classes haven't even started yet, and we're already loosing points before we even earned them.

I have no idea why we used pots and pans and why is Professor Hecate so nasty.....? she pointed down the table to where the teacher was standing, confronting some of the Slytherins, who were apparently getting in trouble already. I think that right there is proof enough already. We've already lost points we don't have before classes have even started.

Geraldine was so hungry,and seeing all the food on the table just made it worse. She was having a dilemma on what food she should eat first. But her gluttonous thoughts were stopped when Raven asked her a question.

“I'm actually half British,.and my father is Italian. How 'bout you?”

Then Geraldine added,“what do you reckon is the best tasting dish tonight?” with a big grin on her face.

Raven was susprised when the girl talked to her. How arrogant she is. Pretty sure she is a grumbler and have a few of friends. she thought

"I am so impressed with Hogwarts. Waiting to be here since my brother come at the first time."


Raven was so impressed to hear it.

"Sounds nice! Maybe I do too. My mom is Russian, but I was born and live in London." then she took her cup and had some drink.

Sounds you are very hungry, huh?" she laughed.

"Maybe you can try pork chop, but I don't take it. I never like pork. I just take the chicken and beef."

"Erm...." Eris had to take a moment to figure out an easier way to explain it when she herself had no idea really the purpose of such things. Muggles would be muggles of course, and half the stuff Eris heard about them seemed to be so strange and rather useless or inconvenient. What was the actually purpose of the portraits? That was undoubtedly unknown, but she could try to explain how they were if it helped.

"Well...there are these thin little book things that are filled with more pictures than words." She tried to explain, picturing the thing as vividly in her mind as possible. "They call it a mangnazeen...I think..." Eris continued slowly as though trying hard to remember. "Anywho...in each of the little books...they have a completely still picture of my dad...like you can't even see him breathing! I'm not sure how they did it..." she couldn't help but marvel at some things muggles made.

"So...in these portraits...they had my dad stand still as a dead person...and then do different poses in different....and reallllly weird outfits....really weird actually..." Eris stiffled a laugh at the funny little things they had him wear. "Then on the side of the page they have his name and a little description of what he has on his body paired with little lined 's's." Eris added though she wasn't sure she wanted to go into that as she really didn't know what any of that meant. "But...they must make him do this often...cause he always has to apparate out of the country almost every week." Eris stopped for a moment her eyes widening for half a second hoping she hadn't said too much.

She turned her eyes back to face him, wondering if he was going to say what his family did now, or if her explanation still faltered within his mind.



Eris made a mental note of the two "heads" though she wasn't sure what a "head" meant. Must be something important she thought, wondering the qualifications to become such...or if there were more than just two.

"Dragon Lady?" Eris repeated hoping her voice wasn't too loud. Imagining that Professor Lafay could spit fire as well as teach. She also seemed to be deducting...what was it? Something about points. Eris would definitely have to read her history book when she got to the common room.

Eris turned over to the food in front of her with freshly cleaned silverware, but was weary to eat the food. If the silverware wasn't properly taken care of then would the food be any better?



A small witch that looked rather like a young boy with dark hair and blue eyes waved over at a new recruit to the Slytherin table.

"Hi there, need someplace to sit?" she asked scooting over with a welcoming smile.



"I know!" Eris gave a happy laugh as she glanced back over to the hat before clucking her tongue. "I wonder how long this dinner will last...." she continued forking at her food, wanting more than anything to see the Slytherin common rooms.

Alice took a chicken wing from he plate in front of her, gulping it down with some pumpkin juice. Her red hair framed her face when she looked down at a piece of parchment.

Dear Mum and Dad,
Are you ready? I was sorted into...... SLYTHERIN! I'm so happy and I hope my dear Ravenclaw mum and Gryffindor dad don't have a heart attack. Mum predicted my sorting so I hope she's not too surprised. Maybe she has the Inner Eye. Anyhow, I haven't made much friends but I've spoken to some nice girls named Audry and Eris. I hope all is well and the house wasn't blown up on account of Dalek, the funniest house elf ever.

Love,
Alice

Her hand knocked over her goblet, and she cursed under her breath. it had stained the upper corner of her letter but was still sendable. If sendable was a word... This is why she was not in Ravenclaw. She remembered her sorting, and smile a bit mischieveously at remembering the Sorting Hat telling her she uses her well-crafted mind for personal gain. She refilled her goblet, took care of the mess she had caused, and began to look around the table.

"Ya, my whole family on my dad's side is from Slytherin, I kinda figured I'd get in" Maddy said. She paused for a moment to think of a question to ask,"Is most of your family from Hufflepuff?" she asked.

Maddy couldn't wait to start learning magic, she had been waiting weeks to try out her new wand. She pulled it out of her glow in the dark holster and began playing with it..

Eris quickly moved her napkin out of the way as a puddle of pumpkin juice slowly spread from next to her. Reaching out her hand lightly, she picked up the Goblet hoping that the girl still had some in there left to drink, but of course, magic would probably refill it.

Seeing that the girl was writing a letter, Eris remembered a question that had been put off in the back of her mind for quite a while.

"Hey, I need to mail a letter later today...do you know where the owlery is?"
