The house elves have been hard at work, leaving the Great Hall spotless, the tables set with pristine silverware, and delicious smells floating up from the kitchen. Your stomach might be growling, but it isn't quite time to eat yet.
Hopefully, the new Headmaster will make an appearance before you chew your way through your House table. Has anyone seen him yet?

She shook her head. This was her official first start of teem feast and she wasn't going to be sour about it.
The blonde turned around to Ariadne. It was such a comfort for her to be with someone she knew. Well, not exactly close but at least familiar and someone around her age. "We're housemates!" Vivi bounced excitedly on her seat. Kinda cool, to be honest! "What's it like here in Slytherin?" Her mum and dad told stories about Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, but it was understandable that they did because they came from those houses. She was probably the first Slytherin Fairfield in quite a long while. But then Vivi's attention was directed towards another housemate. She smiled at Kye.
Hmm? What did she feel? Vivian actually pondered on that for a minute. She didn't know the answer to it either. "Uhm, okay, I guess?" she replied with a small smile. "I have yet to tell my parents about my sorting. Really dunno how they'd react. And I had no idea. I always thought it'd be a close tie between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, like my daddy and mummy, but I guess I ended up different." But different wasn't always bad! Vivian tried to be as positive as a proton.
But then. OMG LOOK. Older student. Vivi looked at the older redhead (Dot). She noticed the shiny badge too and Vivi stared at it. So she was a student leader then? Coooool! She pointed at the badge that was pinned on the girl's robes. "Pretty pretty," she said.
To the badge. But the older girl was pretty too. GIGGLE.

There was giggling, which could be either cute, annoying, or embarrassing, depending on whether or not it was at Dot's expense. She straightened up to eye the very little girl and found her pointing at Dot. At Dot's badge, to be specific.
Well, the shiny was pretty pretty, and she'd even given it a little glitter bow in silver and green to make it double the pretty pretty. That was... pretty pretty pretty pretty. "Thank you." Dot touched the badge with a fingertip before removing it and offering it to the girl for closer examination. "Don't lick it or anything. I'd have to turn you into a gerbil." That was a real thing.
Well Vivian didn't seem as excited as Kye was to be a Slytherin... Kye shrugged it off as a much older girl came over to the area. The talk of the town? A very shiny badge. Very shiny badge. Vivian's attention seemed to be taken quickly away by it, which hey, yea it's definitely something to look at. Kye had never met this girl before, but she looked on interested in getting to know someone who had been here awhile.
The girl, who's name Kye was not sure of yet, was in a bit of a conversation with someone talking about Willy Wonka.. and her birth story... Typical first day chat? When she sensed a break, she spoke up to the Prefect. "Hi, sorry, is that a Prefect Badge?" Kye said to the girl, who had lent her badge for viewing. "I was just wondering... what qualifies someone to become a Prefect? Besides the year requirement.." She knew that of course, her parents told her the basics of things, but neither had been made a Prefect or anything.
Then he saw Elsa make eye contact with him but then avert her gaze. He gave her a quizzical look and wondered why she was acting this way. He went back into his memory bank and he remembered. Aaahh she hit him in the nose. He didn't care too much anymore. He walked over and thought he might as well tell Elsa she didn't have to worry. "Ya know you don't have to worry about the whole nose incident. You know I'm over it." He took a seat down next to Ela.
Elsa's eyes doubled with surprise when she saw Colt walking her way. Well, he sure looked.. good? Elsa wasn't sure. All she see when she looked at him was the phantasmagoric image of his bloodied face staring in horror at her after she nearly elbowed his nose into his brain. Which was kinda funny to be honest. She grinned up at him when he addressed her, no hard feelings then? "That's good to know, I can't help but feel guilty. What would have been of Hogwarts if I ruined your face?" she teased, scooched to the side so he could sit.
She felt proud that she no longer needed to stretch her neck to look at him properly, her growth spur had it's up sides as well. New angle of vision, new clothes, new image. Yes, she was much more confident this year. "How was your Summer?" she asked him, a grin still plastered on her face. She looked ahead to Demean and decided it would be rude not to introduce him "Oh, by the way, this is Demean, he's a first year!"she said introducing them both so no one felt left out.

Hady's hazel eyes landed on those of yet another younger snake Elsa. However this was one she did already know. "Hello Elsa, my summer was wonderful. How was yours?" she asked softly glancing beside the girl at the boy whom she was being introduced to. "Hello Demean, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to the snakes." It's how she greeted people in her house now. Actually it's how she had greeted people for years now. Nothing wrong with it being as it's what they were.
After having been introduced to one of the few new firsties in their house Hady turned her head to the side as she felt someone slide onto the bench beside her. Ah not only was it one of her house mates but also a band mate. Double plus right there. "Hey Ilia, Henric busy?" She gave the older girl a light smile and a look of understanding as her boyfriend was a Prefect so she knew the boys were busy often.
Catching site of Colt earned her a smile and wave from the boy. Which wasn't at all anything nerve wrecking. His comment made her laugh and she couldn't help but reply to him, "Is that so? Need I remind you whom was staring at whom on the train?" Her tone was soft, light and very playful. Clearly she didn't mean anything bad by her words.
Now Hadleigh might have said more to the boy if she hadn't have happened to take a glance up at the staff table. What was going on up there? Shifting in her seat to get a better look she watched with a look of wonder as the large cat shifted into a man. And as the man spoke she learned he was the new exchange Headmaster? What did that even mean? Questions were forming left and right in her mind but her hungry overrode her thoughts and she gave into it by carefully selecting different healther food choices. She bite her lip holding a goblet of water in her hand and looking down at it fighting the urge to charm it into coffee instead.

Echo had finally made her way to sit down at her house table, her robes were a mess. no thanks to her falling out of her carriage and getting dirt everywhere, she was already over this year and it wasn't starting off good at all.
Putting one leg over the bench seat and then the other she sat down really hard and folded her arms to put her head in it. "maybe no one would notice that im here, maybe I can just stay in the shadows" she thought while fighting the urge to cry.
Felix looked around for somewhere to sit. Her daddy told her that it was very important to pick the right seat, you had to make the right sort of friends. The sort that wouldn't rat you out in case of trouble and the kind that ran slower than you incase you needed a quick getaway.
She sat next to a tiny boy who hadn't been in the sorting so he was older. "Oh good another small person. Its always nice to find someone on your 'level'." She said using air quotes for level. "I thought I was going to be the tiniest person here, most of the time I'm always the smallest even with all my cousins. My little cousin Persia is almost taller than me and she's only 6, but her daddy is tall. But you shouldn't frown so its not good for the growth spurt." She pulled out her jawbreaker to make sure it had survived the boat ride. "My aunt says beautiful people shouldn't frown it prematurely ages you." And the boy was beautiful, in the Barbie doll sort of way.
"I'm Felix. Felix Greenwood." She offered the boy her hand that didn't hold her jawbreaker.
It wasn't until the girl started talking that he even realised she was there. Jaemin blinked and turned his head toward her, having been staring off at something else for a little while; had she just called him small? He was not small! he totally was. A touch of pink tinged his cheeks and he bit his lip, resisting the automatic need to correct her about his being a normal sized human being thank you very much. She was a firstie, and he didn't wanna be mean to a firstie! After all, he was just barely out of being a firstie. He knew what it was like to be new here.
he still felt kinda new here, but nobody needed to know that.
Giving a wave to Ariadne, Jaemin frowned again, just a little. Premature aging wasn't really something the twelve year old was worried about. His dad, after all, still looked almost offensively young... both of his parents did. He was pretty sure he was never going to age, ever. Stil, he un-frowned his face and gave her a small smile instead. Because he had no idea what she was talking about when it came to Aunts and Persia which he was sure wasn't even a country anymore, but she seemed very friendly.
"I'm Jaemin Song. I'm a second year." He took her hand and very gently did the handshake thing before the cat at the head table was suddenly swooping into a human. While this was fascinating... Jaemin was hungry, and he stared pointedly at the empty plates on the table until the food appeared. New professors, headmaster exchange, et cetera et cetera... the small boy immediately dug into the food when it popped into existence, and looked at Felix.
"You should eat. Last year people threw food everywhere and I didn't get to, so... you should eat."
And finally, the Slytherin Prefect made his appearance!
Hugo walked down the hall towards his house table wearing his shiny badge on his robe, he watched at the other tables as well looking for familiar faces. At his table there were people already there and gave a nod to anyone he made eye contact with. An important question: where was Dante? He hasn't seen him on the train and he wasn't at the table. Probably was with Eureka. He would have to wait to talk to him at the dorms.
The sixth year sat down. Sixth year...Merlin, he felt old. One more year and he was going to leave this place...BUT enough sentimentalism for today. He wanted to enjoy the feast and meet the new headmaster or headmistress. Oh, and new professors. What a surprise.
Hady's hazel eyes landed on those of yet another younger snake Elsa. However this was one she did already know. "Hello Elsa, my summer was wonderful. How was yours?" she asked softly glancing beside the girl at the boy whom she was being introduced to. "Hello Demean, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to the snakes." It's how she greeted people in her house now. Actually it's how she had greeted people for years now. Nothing wrong with it being as it's what they were.
OK so.. the cat was actually their new Headmaster? This school just kept getting better. Elsa stretched her neck to see the new Headmaster better between the sea of heads in front of her. When she was satisfied she returned to Hady "Oh, it was OK I guess, didn't do much. Stayed home, did some shopping with some friends, got a whole new wardrobe!" she told excitedly "Lot's of green, of course!" she added with a giggle.

Great start to her fifth year.
What on Merlin's name.. a really, really messy girl who looked like she was about to cry plopped down on the bench and rested her head on her arms. With a concerned frown Elsa poked the girl's arm in a semi-clean place, which was saying something "Are you alright?" she looked up to see if anyone one else noticed the girl's dramatic arrival when...

... the Slytherin Prefect arrived. Surely he would do something about one of his fellow Slytherins being all dirtied up like this. Maybe she was attacked? Elsa looked his way, concern etched in her features as she poked the girl's (Echo) arm again.

This was just terrible, any one who knew her knew that she hated to not look her best, Echo knew she could just take out her wand and clean herself up but something was stopping her.
Echo either didn't care or something was blocking her from cleaning herself up. She threw her hood over her head and thats when she heard it. *cringe* someone just said if someone was okay and Echo bloody hoped it wasn't for her, peeking out of her hood she confirmed her worst fears, yup it was for her.
Holding back tears she gave a little grin and squealed "i'mmmm okkayyy" that was all her courage she started to throw her head back under her hood but she spotted Hugo before she did, ohhh noo. she hoped that he didnt notice or even realize that this big pile of a mess was her.

Elsa kept watching the back of the girl's head with concern. Was she sleeping why wasn't she moving? Elsa poked her a little harder when she looked up from under her hood, her face constricted with unshed tears. Oh Merlin was she hurt? She meowed something, barely above a whisper. Elsa leaned her ear towards her. Yeah, Okay. I'm sure she is OK, peachy in fact. she thought sarcastically.
This girl was older, Elsa could tell, and looked miserable and about to burst into tears and that squeezed Elsa's big heart into a fist. "Can I get you something, a tissue, a clean towel, a glass of pumpkin juice?" she inquired softly, keeping her voice down not to draw attention to them. She casually poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice so no one noticed her exchange with the girl.

I can't believe how many of my new friends ended up in Slytherin with me," she commented. Honestly. It was true. Maybe it was just because she was a second year and wasn't quite as new as she was last year. Whatever it was, she seemed to know WAY more people. "Well, being in Slytherin was really awesome! We placed second in the house cup race, which isn't first, but at least it isn't third or fourth." Poor Hufflepuff had been dead last in EVERYTHING.
Overhearing what Vivian was saying to Kye, Ariadne added, "Your parents should be proud of you. I have an older sister who was in Gryffindor, and the rest of us were in Slytherin. It just shows you're unique...and awesome."

Maybe it was going to take a while for Vivian to warm up to the fact that she wasn't going to be part of her mum or dad's House. Although, yes, it was kinda weird and she absolutely had no idea how she was going to explain to her parents about this. She was sure her Aunt and Uncle wouldn't mind because... come on, Aunt Elise would already be thrilled with the fact that her niece wasn't placed in Gryffindor. Also, it wasn't weird at all that Ariadne knew more students than she did. Must've explained a lot because she was a firstie. Vivian smiled a bit. Yay for a friend in the same house and who knew more! Hopefully the second year wouldn't mind all the questions from the blonde. Vivi was too curious for her own good. "I bet we can grab first place this term. I can feel it. This year is gonna be awesome!" And cue more wiggling on her seat.
What followed made Vivian even more comfortable. She was right. Unique wasn't always bad. Besides, her parents couldn't do much about it because she was their daughter. Unless they were really hardcore people, then Vivi didn't see much problem in there. Her Aunt and Uncle can help explain, she hoped. "Thank you," Vivi replied. Such kind words. If she wasn't exactly hungry, she would've melted and so did her heart. "I think my parents wouldn't mind knowing they raised an awesome child." True story tho.
And prefect stuff from Kye? Vivi wanted to listen but... but... cat in the Staff Table turned to new Headmaster and the food appeared on the table. Goodness, the blonde didn't know where to direct her attention too. Cue the grumbling stomach.
Yeah, food first. Omnomnom.

Thankfully, it seemed nobody felt the need to suggest she want a hug, or just out and announce they wanted a hug. It had meant Brooklyn could continue her silent perusal of the staff table, making initial decisions about the newcomers just out of their appearances and actions at the table. Most people seemed oddly bothered about the cat in the headmistress’ seat, or headmaster’s if the prophet had been telling the truth. She still felt like it wasn’t a normal cat, even a normal wildcat. She just figured they’d have to wait to find out. Dramatic entrances seemed to be a common occurrence, after all. Even if for the most part she hadn’t actually witnessed any from the professors herself. Remembering Professor Quigley transforming into a ct at the swamp didn’t count. That wasn’t an entrance.
Even given her general attention on the staff table, she had noticed the smile/nod from Hady and returned it with one of the same. She didn’t see any reason to break from that tradition, not unless she had to and since nobody had spoken to her she didn’t feel she had to. She’d just continue to observe, although once the cat had, in fact, proven to be the headmaster in Animagus form, she had turned back to the others at the table. More dramatics, and apparently dirt if the one girl merited notice. She wasn’t about to ask why she was covered in dirt, nor why she was obviously trying to hide even as a younger girl had poked her and asked if she was okay. Pumpkin juice wasn’t going to get rid of the dirt, or the embarrassment at showing up to the feast covered in it.
Instead, she’d turned an inquiring eye toward Hugo. The question behind it wasn’t exactly obvious, but seeing as he hadn’t said anything upon his arrival either, she didn’t think she needed to explain. At least he hadn’t asked what was up. It was a feast and their headmaster was, well, unique. There didn’t need to be the question as to what was going on. If anything, the lack of poltergeists gluing and feathering them all was nice.

This was different and Skylar was sure that she was going to be receiving a howler in the morning from her father unless her mum was able to calm him down. Skylar wasn't sure it was a bad thing, but just different. Almost everyone she'd been around in her life was Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, yet here, the sorting hat had most clearly informed her she was SLYTHERIN. Same house as Hattie's oldest sister. For a fleeting optimistic hope, Sky hoped that maybe Hattie wouldn't be like her mother after all and more like her sister. But upon hearing her name called, the eleven year old found herself biting her lower lip anxiously until the hat finally announced her sorting. Hufflepuff. She was separated from her best friend and for the first time in a while, even though her brother and friend was still at Hogwarts, they felt so far away and she felt so alone.
Until she turned and glanced down at her house table consisting of what should be her 'new family'. Vivian was there! Sure she'd only JUST met the girl, but they were going to be dormmates together and the girl had marshmallows, so instant friend.
"Hey Vivian! Looks like we'll be dormmates for seven years!" So the girl better not snore or steal things, because otherwise there was going to be serious issues.
Sky squeezed onto the bench next to Vivian and looked around at some of the others in the vicinity (Ariadne and Kye it seems). "Hi, I'm Skylar. We talking about Prefect badges? Both of my parents were Hufflepuff prefects back in their day." Little did she know they went to school with Ariadne's big sister....

Except now!!! Vivian's eyes widened. For real? Miss Older Student was allowing her? "I can hold it, right? I'll polish it for you if you let me." Honestly, nobody was as excited and down for all of this as Vivian Fairfield. She giggled more at the licking thing, although she considered it for a while. However, she didn't want to be transformed into a gerbil on her first night at Hogwarts.
"My name is Vivian. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Pretty Prefect." The older student got beams from the firstie.
Dot tossed her hair over her shoulder as she watched the younger student lovingly handle her badge. At least she was being respectful and gentle with it, not banging it around and potentially scuffing the shining Dot had given to it this morning.
"Sure, just polish it with the corner of your sleeve. There's a good metal polishing charm, but it's a bit advanced. Maybe I can teach it to you? It's dead good for jewelry and buttons too." She worried for a moment that there was going to be a licking incident, but Vivian seemed to reconsider. "My name is Charlotte, but I've been called Dot by pretty much everyone. So whichever you prefer. Only... not Miss Pretty Prefect, unless you forget my name."

Another little voice piped up, and Dot turned to be greeted by a Russian student... and his mouthpiece. It was nice of Elsa to take on the introductions for Demean, and Dot smiled warmly at them both. Of course... the cat revealed himself before she had a chance to admit her ignorance, but she still nodded in his direction. "Center of the table. That's the Headmaster."

Felix looked at the taller girl. "Are you one of those people that answers questions with questions because you are stalling till you can figure out the answer? Sometimes I ask questions and people don't know the answers, and they do that." She nodded. There were a lot of people like that. Felix knew she asked a lot of questions, but she liked knowing the answers, and the only want to learn things was to ask questions. Or read a book, but Felix like conversating more than reading. "Or maybe you're like one of those people that answer questions with questions because you want the other person to figure it out on their own. My grandmother does that all the time. She calls it a teaching moment." Maybe the girl was like that. "Honestly who asks questions when they don't want to know the answers?" That would be really weird.
Merlin. More questions. This child was gonna be two full handfuls... maybe she could become one of Hugo's problems? Hmmm? Where was her handsome co-prefect, anyway? "You know you just did that, right? Avoided answering my question by asking some of your own?"
She flickered a brief smile at the girl, although... Willy Wonka? Badges that gave chocolate? Baby was cray cray. "I'm one of those people who really wants to know the answer to everything, but I also slow down long enough to hear the answer. Otherwise, people think I'm just talking to hear myself." Like said ickle. "And I hate riddles."

What... the actual what? Was Cal suffering from some sort of eyebrow infection? Caterpillar eyebrow syndrome? Was it contagious??? Dot put her fingers on her own eyebrows to check out that they were still there. And not wiggling.
"Thanks, Cal. Did you get taller? You look taller."

Kye had never met this girl before, but she looked on interested in getting to know someone who had been here awhile.
The girl, who's name Kye was not sure of yet, was in a bit of a conversation with someone talking about Willy Wonka.. and her birth story... Typical first day chat? When she sensed a break, she spoke up to the Prefect. "Hi, sorry, is that a Prefect Badge?" Kye said to the girl, who had lent her badge for viewing. "I was just wondering... what qualifies someone to become a Prefect? Besides the year requirement.." She knew that of course, her parents told her the basics of things, but neither had been made a Prefect or anything.
So many ickles! "It [i]is a Prefect badge, yes. I'm Charlotte, the seventh year Slytherin prefect. There's also a Hugo around somewhere, but he likes making appearances. Make sure you applaud when he shows up." Dot twitched the end of her hair against her palm. Bold one, this, but polite. She got an O for first impressions.
"So... I think it's about being responsible but being yourself. Like you can't force yourself to live up to some weird impossible standard of grades and behavior, but you can follow the rules, take care of your house mates, and excel in the ways that are meaningful to you."

At his table there were people already there and gave a nod to anyone he made eye contact with. An important question: where was Dante? He hasn't seen him on the train and he wasn't at the table. Probably was with Eureka. He would have to wait to talk to him at the dorms.
The sixth year sat down. Sixth year...Merlin, he felt old. One more year and he was going to leave this place...BUT enough sentimentalism for today. He wanted to enjoy the feast and meet the new headmaster or headmistress. Oh, and new professors. What a surprise.
Speaking of Hugo... Dot stood and applauded loudly at the appearance of her male counterpart. "Bravo! Bravo for the excellent entrance, Foster. You wanna be ginger again this term?" He got a wink and a grin, and then Dot seated herself again.
so sorry Prefect Dot and all those in the epicenter

Oh, fantastic! Food was finally here. Maybe, at last, his stomach wouldn't feel so gunky. Cal reached a lanky limb over some second year's head for a chicken wing and chomped into it. Along with chewing on a chicken wing, he was also very entranced by the very pretty redhead and her eyebrows. Don't know what she was touching them for, but they were for sure lovely for a pair of eyebrows.
The boy almost dropped his wing when she asked if he had gotten taller. SHE NOOOOTTTIIIIICEEDDD. Of course he had gotten taller! Half an inch, to be exact. They were meant to be, this was a sign. Cal, swooped the little bit of hair that could still be swooped back, straightening up his posture. "Why, yes-s I hav--." His words were caught in his throat, along with something else.
More food was not what his stomach wanted and it was protesting in a very physical way. His mouth suddenly was filling with saliva, but with every swallow back, the feeling in his throat pushed forward. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
All the pumpkin pastries, along with the small mint and bite of chicken wing, spewed in front of him, in front of the pretty prefect, and was all over his shoes.

Same house as Hattie's oldest sister. For a fleeting optimistic hope, Sky hoped that maybe Hattie wouldn't be like her mother after all and more like her sister. But upon hearing her name called, the eleven year old found herself biting her lower lip anxiously until the hat finally announced her sorting. Hufflepuff. She was separated from her best friend and for the first time in a while, even though her brother and friend was still at Hogwarts, they felt so far away and she felt so alone.
Until she turned and glanced down at her house table consisting of what should be her 'new family'. Vivian was there! Sure she'd only JUST met the girl, but they were going to be dormmates together and the girl had marshmallows, so instant friend.
"Hey Vivian! Looks like we'll be dormmates for seven years!" So the girl better not snore or steal things, because otherwise there was going to be serious issues.
Sky squeezed onto the bench next to Vivian and looked around at some of the others in the vicinity (Ariadne and Kye it seems). "Hi, I'm Skylar. We talking about Prefect badges? Both of my parents were Hufflepuff prefects back in their day." Little did she know they went to school with Ariadne's big sister....
OMIGOSH. Vivian had her eyes on the girl she saw at the Front Cars earlier. The fact that the girl, Skylar from what the blonde could remember, got sorted into the same house excited her even more. Vivi couldn't really contain her excitement so she squirmed a bit on her seat.
"HIIII! This is so exciting. We're gonna be dorm mates!" More bouncing and more friends too! Vivi was so sure this term was going to be capital A-W-E-S-O-M-E.
Vivi was nomming on mashed potato when she overheard prefect talk again. Not that she didn't mind but since they were sharing, the eleven year old decided to join along. "My auntie was Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain before the game was sorta banned here." Shame, though. Vivi considered hopping on a broom.

"Sure, just polish it with the corner of your sleeve. There's a good metal polishing charm, but it's a bit advanced. Maybe I can teach it to you? It's dead good for jewelry and buttons too." She worried for a moment that there was going to be a licking incident, but Vivian seemed to reconsider. "My name is Charlotte, but I've been called Dot by pretty much everyone. So whichever you prefer. Only... not Miss Pretty Prefect, unless you forget my name."
Ahem.
Vivian gingerly ran her finger over the shiny badge. She was kinda scared to screw it up and messing with the House Prefect wasn't part of her agenda for the rest of her Hogwarts life. Besides, this was the first night she was spending here and she was determined to make friends, not enemies. Well, not yet at least.
A metal charm? Vivi perked up. "Really? You'll teach me? I don't mind if it's advanced." That was so cool! Learning spells from the Prefect! Plus, it was useful and she could really show to her sister at home how bloody amazing it was. "You have a pretty name too." Charlotte or Dot, Vivi had to remember that detail.
She was still Miss Pretty Prefect anyway
... BUT THEN...
FOOD FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S TUMMY. WHAT. Vivi tried not to vomit as well. Her lower lip quivered at everything. Poor poor food, and poor poor Miss Pretty Prefect Dot.

Hady was just lifting a forkful of mashed potatoes to her mouth when she caught of sight of two people. One being Hugo the prefect for their house to which she gave a small nod of her head. The other caught her attention just a tad bit more. Poor girl had dirt and whatnot all over her robes. "Echo?" she questioned after a brief moment of silent analyzation. "Are you alright, what's happened?" If she liked she had no problem helping her get cleaned up.
Elsa talking about shopping and a whole new wardrobe full of green made her laugh. That sounded just like her own clothing style until not to long ago when she began buying a lot of other colors as well as more skirts and dresses. She was still very much in love with the colors green and silver though. "That doesn't sound to boring to me." Shopping was fun.
Letting out a small exhale of breath the girl turned her attention once more to the plate of food in front of her. Maybe she could get a few bites of her meal before anything else happened.

After having been introduced to one of the few new firsties in their house Hady turned her head to the side as she felt someone slide onto the bench beside her. Ah not only was it one of her house mates but also a band mate. Double plus right there. "Hey Ilia, Henric busy?" She gave the older girl a light smile and a look of understanding as her boyfriend was a Prefect so she knew the boys were busy often.
Hady's words were right on the fact of the matter so Ilia gave her a knowing smile. She had a similar issue, considering Frankie was a prefect. She nodded her head to confirm that she was right. " When isn't he?" She said with a bit of a laugh. Merlin knows she expected him to be even busier this year.... "I presume Frankie is as well?" Because they were both at their table and boyless....so both boys were likely taking care of their duties and the formalities. She was honestly glad that she had not been 'honored' with such a position. She usually spent her non Henric time studying or now playing her music.

Elsa leaned her ear towards her. Yeah, Okay. I'm sure she is OK, peachy in fact. she thought sarcastically.
This girl was older, Elsa could tell, and looked miserable and about to burst into tears and that squeezed Elsa's big heart into a fist. "Can I get you something, a tissue, a clean towel, a glass of pumpkin juice?" she inquired softly, keeping her voice down not to draw attention to them. She casually poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice so no one noticed her exchange with the girl.
Back under her hood of safety the younger girl just kept going, "why is she being so nice to me" she thought while peeking her head out yet again, but this time this girl was talking softly and offering her food. oh yeah the food had come before she had gotten to the table, great she had pretty much missed the whole feast. "id love a glass of pumpkin juice" saying with a smile, it was the first one she had made since she gotten back to hogwarts, and all from the kindness of this small snake.
"thank you" she quickly added, she didnt want to sound rude, especially to one who was being so nice to her.

"HADY!" yelling back to her friend once she heard her!! "oh it was so terrible!!" she threw her arms around her friends neck and hugged tightly. "i was trying to get out of the carriage and my robe caught and i hurt my knee and im covered in dirt!! this is not turning out to be a good start and i hope no one noticed" she would totally be mortified.
Letting go of her friend she sat in the middle of the younger snake which she realized that she didnt ask her name. "i'l find it out later" telling her self. and her friend Hady!. "im going to have to send an owl to my mum about sending me knew robes." well that was a good sign. new clothes always made her happy!

Ilia & Echo!

The smile said it all. Hady hadn't realized just how much her and Ilia had in common until the previous term when they became band mates. It was actually kind of funny to her now that her and the older girl hadn't become friends years ago. "True but even with how busy they are they always make time for us." They both had good boyfriends like that. "He is. His sister is also a first year this term," She supplied with a light smile. Just another thing to keep the lion busy but family was special and always kept close so there was no blame at all there. Anyhow Hady knew the younger girl a little and found her to be a cutie.
Luckily she had managed to swallow her mouthful of food because before she knew what was happening Echo had thrown herself at her. With a small laugh at the unexpected hug she returned it just not as tightly as she listened to what had happened. "Alright, alright just take a breath. I'm sure no one noticed and if they did don't worry about it, accidents happen." She pushed some hair from her friends face and looked her over. "You might not need to do that. We can get you cleaned up easily and possibly your knee too." That one depended on the extent of the injury. "I might be able to fix your robes too and if not the house elves can." Those wonderful little elfsies could do anything!

Cal was being particularly endearing, even if she was sure that his eyebrows were cursed. They were well maintained, at least, and she ought to ask him about his beauty regime. Did boys like it when that question came up? Some of them were so touchy.
"It's obvious, I thi..." Dot managed to inch back just in time to miss being splattered with copious amounts of sick that hit the floor where her feet had just been. Did he not KNOW that these shoes were fabulous and not for the vom? Respect the shoes, CAL.
He looked all pale and shaky, though, and Dot was able to vanish the sick with a flick of her wand and a quick, "Evanesco." No real harm done. To her or the floor or... anyone, except poor Cal himself. "It's fine. Sit down and put your head down. I'll get you some water. Do you want the nurse?" Slytherins were stoic, and she had a feeling she'd prefer to just walk away. Maybe Cal was like that too.

... BUT THEN...
FOOD FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S TUMMY. WHAT. Vivi tried not to vomit as well. Her lower lip quivered at everything. Poor poor food, and poor poor Miss Pretty Prefect Dot.
Eager ickle, little miss Vivi, still had her badge, and Dot held out a hand to get it back. Not that she didn't trust the younger girl, but if she had to run for the nurse, she needed to be dressed appropriately for the visit.
"'Course I'll teach you. I'm dead good at Charms, and I bet you will be too." She flashed a little smile at the girl. "Thanks... your name is very pretty too. Keep your feet up on the bench, just in case. I'll clean the floor again in a minute."
Kye was intrigued.. she wondered if she would ever care to be Prefect for Slytherin. Well at least it seemed that she had a few years to decide that.
"I'm Kye," she said to the Prefect. She didn't feel the need to include the fact that she was a first year. She looked over Vivian's shoulder to eye the badge once more.
Ariadne was mentioning Arista... Hm, yea! Come to think of it, Kye hadn't seen the other girl around at all. "Yea, you would think we would have seen her, but maybe she snuck through somewhere else?" Or had she gone to a different school? Hm. Oh well.
She didn't have much more time to think about it as the Feast had finally begun!! Kye was so interested in the food that had just appeared that she stopped paying attention to the conversations for a second.. as did most of the young kids too in awe. Kye imagined the Muggle Borns in the room who knew no magic before getting their letter, and how this must be for them.
Kye helped herself to a few helpings of each plate. There were so many choices! One person seemed to ruin a few appetites though...
Kye looked over with a mild look of disgust. That boy had just thrown up all over the place. Gross. Kye stopped eating for a moment to watch as the Prefect she had been talking to was helping the kid out. Prefect=Babysitter?
After it seemed to be handled, Kye went back to grabbing food. She wasn't going to let a bit of puke ruin her first Feast, psh.
"So what are your favorite classes?" she asked Ariadne, "I think I'll like Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts" the most. Maybe Potions... I forget what else there is though."
Kye really liked Ariadne so far, but she was really popular! Kye hoped she didn't bore her first friend.
