Faye was so easily distracted right now. Every time she looked back at Arianna she was talking to another person. Jeepers, it was like she new everyone in this castle already and it was only the first day. But then again Faye had to remember that this was her first first day. She smiled at every one now, hoping that she wasn't coming across as rude, she did that so often.
Helping herself to her third helping of chocolate pudding she spooned a mouthful into her mouth and began to swallow. She could live off this pudding, it was the best EVER!! Even better than the stuff her grandmother made at that was saying something.
SPOILER!!: Basically, a horror-like House Elf Parade
...
There were House Elves at the Staff Table. Lainey wasn't "Staff" so she didn't feel obligated to stay and share a table with them. Plus she had things to do and stuff. Oh, and there was a mysterious pink flower there? She didn't want it pollinating in her breathable air.
But those ELVES were FOLLOWING her. Some might even view it as CHASING. So basically, Lainey RAN from them with a battle cry on her lips, "BAAARRRRRRRBEEEEQUUUUEEEEEEEEEE!" She might have gotten away from them, too, but she only managed one lap around the Slytherin table before she decided she was too old for this. That trunk she was carrying was heavy.
So time to ditch the trunk.
Then re-start the merry chase with those Soon-To-Be-BBQ'd-Elves.
"I need to see WEST ODESSA, anyone that has information about a missing beater's bat named MORTIMER, and some House Elf Repellant. STAT."
:: Ganymede nearly choked on her pumpkin juice. "And I'm looking for a Quaffle named Ned!" She yelled back. This was quite the ridiculous show.
This weirdo was not a Slytherin. ::

Dylan was going for the in-cognition approach to this Feast. He'd sat in a carriage with less than desirable people...Less than desirable PERSON, actually...and now, his mood was completely soured. You know, as if it hadn't been bad enough before.
Thank you, Gilly.
Although, hearing that girl (with the long name) tell the Prefect off had been the HIGHLIGHT of his month. One that had been desperately needed.
It was actually a good thing not being a standout at this particular Feast. Observing turned out to be much better...Lots of new Slytherins. Rich had been sorted into his house, which he'd totally seen coming. Turner wasn't fit to be in anywhere else. Not with his track record. Oh, and the bossy girl that had stopped him earlier...The blonde? Yea, she'd been sorted as a RAVENCLAW.
Did he have a sign on his back that said...'If you're a bossy female that thinks she knows EVERYTHING...Oh, and just happen to be a Ravenclaw...BOTHER ME'?
Sweet Merlin! The Slytherin didn't have time for any of it. Truth be told, he had a mission this term. One that could not be thwarted by outside interference. Ravenclaw House couldn't keep their hands on that trophy...In fact, it felt like a metaphor of life for the Captain. He was personally having so many issues with Ravvies members...and then, he turned around and lost to them.
It all just left a horrible taste in his mouth.
...And he did NOT need something trivial, like a girl, compromising his mission.
So...Indy was done. He no longer had to worry about that one...but now there was the matter of Beezus. How he was going to deal with that matter, Dylan didn't know. They were set to talk after the feast...So, it would remain to be seen. Perhaps he could stick to his guns this time and actually stop talking to her. Merlin, he hoped he could, anyway.
...And what was this mess going on with his Terror Twins? Who was that small girl sitting with them? Also, WHY was there a Professor speaking to them already? Gah, it'd already started, hadn't it? Already in trouble and it wasn't even past the Feast. Couldn't those two just leave it alone?
*blinnnk*
What...were those ELVES doing at their table? Ugh, nasty little creatures...He wasn't going to be able to eat with them...in his viewpoint. Gah! Please make them leave!
Meanwhile, some clapping and such for the Headmistress. Yep...Congratulations new people and whatnot. It's so great that new old people have joined us. Awesome.
Dinnertime yet?
The feast...just a reminder for Elektra that she is now confined to a school for one whole year with a few people that got right under her skin. Sitting at her house table, she kept her mouth shut, but mind went on rambling for miles and miles and she wasn't going to shut up on the inside but on the outside...silent as a tomb. Shifting in her spot at the table she noticed a ton, and she met A TON of firsties that were in the great hall, being sorted into the houses and all that jazz, and quite frankly...Elektra was not too fond of it. ugghh...more little midgets running around the school causing havoc. Great. Juuuuuuust greeeeeaaaat. Speaking of midgets...there was a certain one that Elektra managed to barely see walking around carrying something in her tiny little hands. The only reason she can see this midget was because of her firey red hair. Yeah, she is talking about Selina Skylar.
Elektra remembered hearing something about her losing a...Mortimer or something like that, but she could care less. This year she was going to focus more on her classes and...other sort of things...like some cute boys roaming around the school or something.... After watching the little red head walking around like a chicken without a head, she looked down at her food and realized she hasn't touched it and she scoffs and pushes the plate away from her and as she did she raised her eyebrow catching a glimpse of...Sweet Merlin house elves! Elektra's face gave her exact feeling about she felt about being around house elves and picture if you will: A mix between scared and about to throw up and elektra slowly scooted down the table to get away from the house elves as she kept her focus on them to make sure they weren't coming near her.
She wasn't even paying attention to the new Headmistress speech because...well...honestly she could care less to hear what this new Headmistress needs to say. So she is a former Hogwarts professor. Yippee for her? Elektra sighed and ran her fingers through her hair and said out loud, Is this feast EVER going to end?
It wasn't long after that he had started speaking to the girl who had joined them at the table, the one who didn't look like a Slytherin. He continued smiling at her when she realised she was speaking to him, waiting for her to reply to him.
His eyebrow raised when she told him about wishing to be a Slytherin. "The hat thought about putting me in Ravenclaw" he nodded. He started to think about it too, he wouldn't mind being a Ravvie but there was just something about the Snake house. "You should have asked it to put you in Slytherin like I did, it might have listened to you" Well, it was truly down to his twins sisters request but he wasn't going to explain all that.
Terry's head shot up to listen to the Headmistress speech, he took it all in, wanting to make a good impression rather than to show himself up on the first day at a new school. Did that mean they could have food then? His tummy rumbled just to emphasise the point. He glanced at the table in a hopeful manner. "Train rides must make everyone hungrier" Seeing as he had consumed a fair amount of Chocolate frogs on the train.
"I'm Terry" he smiled. He couldn't help but stare when she said her surname though. Wow. That was long and very confusing but it sounded really cool! He was glad he didn't have to refer to her by her full name though. "It's good to meet you Anna" he said poiltely.
The boy was indeed speak to her. But she never knew that someone could smiled that much especially in the Slytherin table.
Ohh. The old hat almost put him in Ravenclaw? She raised her eyebrows at this. Then why did he end up in other house? Wait. "Yo-You could do that? Asking the hat to put you in other house?" Why she didn't think of that. Wait. She did. "I think it won't work for me. I asked the hat to put me here but it said I quote I don't put a student in a house she thought that the color will look good with her hair." Anna said mimicking the old hat voice.
And then she heard the Headmistress began her speech. Finally. Just a few more minutes before she could eat something. Anna eyes went from the Headmistress to the boy when she heard he's saying about the train rides. "Yeah. That's definitely an unforgettable train rides." Wonder what happened with the train.
Terry? Nice name. "Its nice too meet you too, Terry." she gave the boy a smile. "Are you a first year?" Or maybe he's a transfer student like herself?
Resident Ghost of Slytherin | Hot-Tempered & Not Amused
The Baron stared at those who gave nothing more than just blank stares. Though his expression turned grimm to most those who did try and greet him, in which he gave only a stiff nod in return. Except the young child of the Gryffindor house whom waved at him. The Baron just floated right through her, on his way to the other end of the table.

"Good evening Sir, uh..Lord, uh.." Wait, how did she even address the Baron all these years? She couldn't even remember "Good evening Bloody Baron." She finally settled "How is your evening so far?"
Gliding by the students, the ghost of the Noble House of Slytherin stopped and turned to face the one with the fumbling tongue. What an unfortunate disease and moment in time where her greetings were more satisfactory than most. "Intriguing..." he drawled.

He knew that those thoughts were going to be addressed later since he didn't entirely enjoy the fact that there was confusing thoughts wandering around his head that he hadn't known how to explain immediately but he quickly shook all of this off as soon as it had come; there wouldn't have been conversations otherwise. Once Kendall had sat down beside him and set the bag of chocolate on the table, he eyed it suspiciously since he knew that he'd seen it before and when she spoke; it confirmed that it did in fact belong to him and that she decided to take it from his trunk. "I'm not sure they would, not everyone is as friendly as I am around here." he said before pausing slightly to think about what else to say, it seemed as though just being able to speak anymore without thinking about exactly what it was that he wanted to say wasn't possible and that had just made things much more frustrating. "How did you get this from my trunk? I had it put away so that the only one that could have found it is me." Raising an eyebrow at his friend, somehow she managed to sneak the chocolate that was meant to be used for an emergency situation but at least she had given it back since he had wanted a couple of the bars for later. "And I will right now, plus the owl is still coming." He handed her the boxes of chocolate that had been sitting on the bench on the other side of him since there wasn't a need to bring his entire messenger bag to the feast, instead he hid that away in his trunk so it was safe for now.
Before he had the chance to continue speaking, the notice of the headmistress speaking had caught his attention and he stayed quiet for the moment as the woman spoke; wait.. board of governors? What in Merlin's name were they doing here? Hogwarts certainly didn't need people disrupting what had gone on usually. At least he didn't seem to be worried about them, not as much as when Professor Scabior approached the table and gone onto make several students silent as well as take five points away from Gryffindor. It hadn't seemed like Slytherin had lost anything yet and he wanted to make sure things stayed that way, even if it meant abandoning some ideas for trouble which wasn't going to be fun. As soon as the speech had been over, he turned his attention back to his friend and it seemed like there was something up as the strange feeling had returned as it had on the train. That had to mean that Mika was around and he hadn't wanted to deal with another situation with the second year Ravenclaw. "One question at a time, okay.. I don't think that the Headmistress will make evil changes but I'm quite wary of the board of governors; their reasoning to be here still confuses me and I do believe they'll try to convince the new Headmistress to make changes that could possibly create frustration for not only the current staff of the school but all of us students." he replied, having to take a breath after he spoke since that was a lot to say at once and it oddly had been much more intelligent than he had intended it to sound. "It's a possibility. Having a baby dragon at Hogwarts can be considered rather dangerous to everyone." Honestly, he hadn't wanted that to be the case when it just meant that this term could have brought bad things.
Honestly, Kendall had half-expected Patrick to disregard her flippant comment about talking to other Slytherins. She certainly didn't expect an actual response, let alone to find out that he'd taken her seriously. She didn't think he ever took her seriously, not really, so she'd given him kind of a look as he'd spoken, ignoring the food that had finally appeared on the table since the speech was finished. "When have I ever worried about if people are friendly?," she asked. She usually just talked to people either way, except for on the train when Mika had been all creepy-stalker. She'd talked to Logan then, at least, and she noticed that he was hanging around the Slytherin table even though apparently he was a Puff like Isabel had been. She sent him a grin, though, before turning back to Patrick innocently as he'd decided to question the bag she'd shoved toward him. "I ran out of truffles," she said simply. He knew her, and besides, she'd already told him that. She had been scared by the train stopping, and needed chocolate. That meant she'd find it at any cost. Even almost falling off the seat again as the Ministry guy had shown up with the portkeys.
At least he'd brought her other chocolate with him, and she'd grinned again as he'd handed her the boxes. Especially as he'd reminded her about the big owl he'd made over the summer and agreed to give to her. She'd definitely have chocolate for a while now. "D'you know when it's getting here?" She figured that would take a lot of owls to transport, unless it was coming some other way. She didn't think anything other than owl mail got into Hogwarts, though, and everything else that had gone on distracted her from wondering too much. "But I can't help it. There's lots of questions," she replied, tilting her head slightly as he'd expressed worries about the board of governors. "Didn't some of them teach here for a while though? And that one guy runs the Three Broomsticks. They shouldn't want to do anything too evil to us, and Roro's not here anymore either." Therefore the dragon shouldn't be causing anything bad either, since she was pretty sure Professor Williamson had taken him with him.

Her ideas about things at Hogwarts not being different seemed to be trying to be proved wrong, however, as first the house ghosts seemed to be appearing along with the house elves having come in with the awesome pink plant for the new headmistress. She'd sent the Bloody Baron a grin, hazel eyes scanning to see which other ghosts had made an appearance as well. They were pretty awesome too, and she wanted to talk to a ghost some time. The Baron didn't seem to want to be too talkative, though, so she stuck to just a grin, going back to playing with one of the pink streaks in her hair. At least Mika hadn't pounced yet, preferring to wreak havoc over by the silenced younger students and then apparently disappear. Leaving her, her newly acquired boxes of chocolates, and Patrick alone. And she contemplated actually eating some non-chocolate food, reaching out to take a chicken leg as she heard someone loudly talking about barbeque. Looking up, she abandoned the food as she watched one of the board people heading past her talking about West Odessa and missing beaters bats.
Okay, maybe they aren't all normal and safe, she thought. The woman was kind of interesting though, and she'd swiveled around to continue watching the odd parade chase thingy even as West had waved a hand in the air. Not speaking, but then she remembered he'd been one of the ones Professor Scabior had silenced. That had nothing to do with her, and neither did Mortimer the missing bat. There was still one thing she wanted to ask about, anyway. "Why do you want house-elf repellent?," she asked the board member lady. She liked the house elves. "And what are you barbequeing?" That had been the odd thing she'd noticed first, after all, and that reminded her about how she'd been going to eat some actual food before it disappeared. Therefore, she went back to the chicken leg and took a bite while she waited for her answers.

Well and the easiest thing to do was to simply put his hand up and wave his little piece of paper at Lainey like a flag of surrender.
Except he didn't surrender a single indication that he knew what she was on about with this bat or repellent.
"Is this class, Mr. Odessa? Get your rump up here. I'm not your teacher, no need for hands." Before those House Elves started touching her again with their tainted and devious little digits.

"One and one makes two, you know. It's just like a Ravenclaw to answer their own question with a question. Also, you're at the wrong table if no one told you."

West wrote on his paper first.
Sup.
Then, with an apple in his mouth, Gary style, he got up and went over and held out the piece of paper so that Lainey could read it.

"Vow of silence? Admirable, but I need it to start after I vacate the premises." She handed him the paper back, then pointed at the trunk she'd been dragging around.
"This is yours now. If you can open it." She'd charmed it shut and then some, but if he worked hard enough he could probably open it. Eventually.

Head shake.
He pointed up at the staff table and then did a credible impression of Scabior with the face and the judging. And because little West Odessa was quite fluent in Ravenclaw, he also managed to convey his eagerness and thanks for a random trunk. There was a bounce in there somewhere.
He gave Lainey a thumbs up too, and then offered her the apple which had a bite out of it.
He'd offer it to Gary but the bigger boy had enough.

Ah.
He was in trouble. Fitting. Trouble. But also why Lainey was rewarding him with a gift.
"It comes with a price. Nothing is free. Nothing. I want 10% of the profits from inside - if you ever get it open. And I want to know what you know about Mortimer."
Which.... was likely to be SOMETHING.
No, no apple for her. She wasn't touching ANYTHING FOOD-LIKE in this House Elf Infested room. "Careful with that."

West made a 'whooooo?' face. Mortimer? Who was that? Whoooooooooooooo was Mortimer?
What was this about PROFITS though? This made West's ears perk up.
He thought for a second and then, after pocketing the apple, began scribbling on his bit of paper.
Clifford Mortimer was this dude that wrote lots of stuff and lived as a muggle even though he wasn't one. He got all blind from banging his head on a branch when he was trying to take willow wood from one of them whomping ones. His children were all squibs.
Well. It was A Mortimer. He held the paper out for Lainey to read.

Lainey laughed at the paper, then followed up with a honk of Mr. Odessa's nose.
"O for effort, but a T for Team Spirit. Bad juju to keep another player in the dark. I'd hate for the Healer to keep your broom hostage until Mortimer is returned. I'd hate for that to sliiiiiiiiiip right out of my mouth as suggestion to her. Wouldn't that be disagreeable to Slytherin's chances of winning this year?"
She got her wand out and lifted the Silencing spell, if only for now.

Oh he could talk? That was a shame. It was getting interesting trying to talk without talking.
"I don't know any other Mortimers. Just that one. He also liked to read out the divorce trial reports from the newspaper on the train so that people would get all mortified and upset at words like 'garments' and 'bloomers'." West said, matter-of-factly.
Paaaause. "Also, Mrs Professor Lainey, the Healer is a Slytherin like me. She wouldn't do that and maybe she doesn't know any Mortimers either. I can tell her about Clifford though, if you like."

At the bloody ghost's reply, the blonde raised an eyebrow at him and frowned. Well wasn't he a mysterious ghost? But then again, she should be used to him by now.
"How so?" She asked, curiosity evident in her tone and expression. "Did something happen?" You know, aside from the apparently mentally unstable first and second year Slytherins they had, the elf that walked past a few minutes ago with a pick plant, the new headmistress, and of course the presence of the governors.

The girl shrugged, no use moping over spilled milk anyone - or in this case, a vandalized tourist destination. "Well, there are other things to see in Paris, so I guess it's not a total loss, right?"
"Yes, yes they do." The girl said with a grin before finishing off the last of the mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables on her plate and washing it down with a half-goblet full of pumpkin juice.
Yum, food.
She then turned to the younger Snake and asked "Hey, wanna go down to the dungeons now? I want to get to my favorite seat before its taken." She said as she glanced around the table filled with students who were still eating their fill.
Oh he could talk? That was a shame. It was getting interesting trying to talk without talking.
"I don't know any other Mortimers. Just that one. He also liked to read out the divorce trial reports from the newspaper on the train so that people would get all mortified and upset at words like 'garments' and 'bloomers'." West said, matter-of-factly.
Paaaause. "Also, Mrs Professor Lainey, the Healer is a Slytherin like me. She wouldn't do that and maybe she doesn't know any Mortimers either. I can tell her about Clifford though, if you like."
Lainey could also replace the spell afterwards? It was not hair off her chinny, chin chin.
"I believe I asked if you had any information about a missing Mortimer, not whether or not you were personally familiar with the bat. Though I find your knowledge this other Mortimer to be quite impressive and your arrogance about House pride less-so. Don't lose sight of what's important, West Odessa, and being a Slytherin isn't the most important thing."
She cast a glance around for the House Elves, and was already moseying away from West, back step, back step, back step.
"Ten percent." Was all she said as she backed away, and re-raised her wand to cast the Silencing spell back on him. He could write her a novel in reply, but she was going to keep MOVING to give the House Elves a moving target.
Sierra actually perked up when she heard the chains rattling behind her. Of course they weren't real chain. After five full years of being exposed to the Bloody Baron, she knew they were only ghostly chains. She actually turned toward him with a grin on her face. Ahh, the Bloody Baron. A Slytherin who always seemed just as moody as she did. It comforted her in a way. "Good to see you," she said to him as he passed by.
...and just as the ghost passed her by, Sierra's head was turned in a way that gave her a full view of one of the Slytherins raising their wand and casting on another student. She frowned. Wasn't this the same group who got themselves into trouble earlier?
Really? REALLY?! A table full of professors and the Headmistress was just yards away, and one of the Slytherins decides to draw their wand and cast on somebody? "You're seriously drawing your wand and casting while they," she said, gesturing toward the staff table, "are just footsteps away?" What was the deal with the students on this end of the table? "Are you trying to land us in third place again? Or worse, ...dead last."
The other girl was a Gryffindor. If she wanted to get herself into trouble, so be it, but the Slytherins just couldn't go down for the Gryffindors.
"I was saving us from losing points, and dont worry i made sure no one saw that Sierra." gosh, Sierra and her got along at one point but after that day in Diagon Alley when Ariana wouldnt help her she could care less for her and Ariana didnt seem to mind

It was pretty lucky the kid had re-charmed Lex, other wise she'd lose 55 points instead of 5, an on her first day as well! Serenity felt kind of bad considering it had been completely Serenity and Theo's fault this had started. Wait, no, just THEO'S.

She smiled at every one now, hoping that she wasn't coming across as rude, she did that so often.
Helping herself to her third helping of chocolate pudding she spooned a mouthful into her mouth and began to swallow. She could live off this pudding, it was the best EVER!! Even better than the stuff her grandmother made at that was saying something.
"Ariana, do you know everyone?" Faye teased her.
"I actually dont know anyone, people just know me ever since i poisoned lafay 2 years ago." she smirked as she remembered lafay laughing and singing and Dancing in her office

Zig Zag formation.
A bat?
Liiiiiiike Egbert? West was unconcerned by having the spell put back on, and he stroked his chin thoughtfully, like he saw that one old dude on the Wizengamot do.
He would have to ask Aspen about that and also about what Lainey meant about being arrogant. West was just being truthful.
... did she want him to tell the Healer about Clifford?
Such thoughts would have to wait though. West went to examine his new trunk.
...Ten percent of what?

She shook her head at the girl frantically before drawing for the piece of paper and scribbling as fast as she could; hopefully it was still legible.
She was saving you from losing points. Prof. Scabior put on a silencing charm and if anyone but him takes it off then the person who took it off, the girly who's supposed to be watching us and I would lose 50 points each.
Then she handed the note to the girl.

Sierra eyed the girls suspiciously. Just what were they up to, hmm? Merlin, had the first years come to the school ready to explode right off the bat or something? It was slightly amusing, but slightly annoying, as well. Annoying, because she knew she was the one expected to deal with it.
She reached out and took the notes, scanning them quickly. FIFTY POINTS?! She didn't care about the Gryffindors. They could lose four hundred for all she was concerned. The Slytherins, though? Now that she was concerned about. They'd come in dead last and third place for the last two terms. She would not let those Puffers show her up again.

She also gestured to the notes the silenced students (Serenity and Lex) were writing, "Destroy those before someone figures it out." Ganymede made a crumpling motion with her hands. "Burn them or eat them or something."
Ganymede was so over the whole ordeal. ::
...and then some other kid thought it was her business to chime in and share her two knuts. Sierra gave the girl her best glare. "Talking about it? You think that's all they were doing?" she asked. Wands were involved. Was this one blind?! She rolled her eyes and gave the girls their notes. If anybody was going to be eating paper, it wouldn't be Sierra.

EEK. On that note, Sierra should seriously consider making a quick exit. Yup. Who was this woman, and what did SHE know about Mortimer?!

"Save us? By drawing your wand at the house table?" she asked. Honestly. She wasn't going to have to babysit the Slytherins this term, was she?!
She gave the woman, the one who'd asked about Mortimer, another passing glance. "The feast is ending," she said. "Maybe the Slytherins can make it down to the dungeons and still walk away with a little pride?"
Then she smirked at them. All of them. Well, except the Gryffindor. "...because the next time we have a big feast, we'll be celebrating our first place finish in the house points race, Gobstones, and Quidditch," she said. She finished that by grinning at all of them. "See you in the common room."
...and then she turned and made her way out the Great Hall.

Hannah Lockwood...ah. it was nice to see her again. "How was the rest of your summer, then? Anymore arguments with your parents?" Because she wanted to know..
and she had to tell Hannah about Presley. She knew her best friend didn't really like her...but Elliot thought Presley as one of her CLOSEST friends...maybe even second to Hannah. Or Jayden. Whatever. Hannah would just have to...deal with it.
Hannah was grateful that Elliot came over. It was really good to see her. She sat down beside Elliot and noticed that she seemed to be in a really good mood.
"My summer was good." It just went by really fast. "My parents got off my back so we didn't have any more arguments." Although they did give her a talking to the night before it was time to head back here. "I just have to get it together this term." Or else! "What about you?"

Faye had just taken a sip of pumpkin juice when Arianna had stated that...she gagged and started to cough. "You......*cough......poisoned......*cough.....som eone." Faye was had choked out. She was still trying to get her breathing back on track.
"Why would you do a thing like that?" Faye cried thinking of someone dying from something that Arianna had given them, Faye was actually terrified that maybe she was now going to put something in her own pumpkin juice.
