It was morning and classes were just starting to get underway, but per usual everyone was milling about the castle, the majority congregating in The Great Hall. It was the common place for most to gather in between classes and at meal times, but that didn't mean that several weren't meandering about the corridors or outside on the grounds. Even at this early hour of the day. Nikki bit down on her lip as she made her way through the 'hall', her sights set on Ravenclaw Table. She was hungry and wanted to eat something, hoping to possibly catch up with a friend or two while doing so. It was good to be back at Hogwarts, even if she felt like they were being too generous to her and her family at times. But she'd make it up to them one day. Some how she'd find a way to repay them for all that they'd done and were willing to do for her. But for now, she'd relish her time back. She couldn't wait to immerse herself in her studies--her means of escape. Ellie saw Nikki approaching and smiled. She waved at the raven-haired girl and gestured that she join her at the table. Nikki seemed all too happy to oblige which brought an extra bit of warmth to Ellie. The mousy blonde didn't have many friends and not very many seemed to want her to be one. Whether it was because she seemed boring or uninteresting, she didn't know. But she always had to wonder... her parents didn't want her, so why would anyone else? At least she had a friend in Nikki. Morning, Ellie, Nikki said giving the girl a smile. Hello, Ellie stated shyly. So good to be back with friends. Nikki just nodded in agreement. That it is. It's good to be back.

Wand Holly, Dragon heartstring, 9 in, fairly flexible. Location The Great Hall Heading toward Gryffindor Table. Tagging Anyone. Time Tuesday September 5, 2073 Morning. Sydney sat by herself at Gryffindor Table, her pet sand boa wrapped about her one wrist. She smiled sweetly at the creature as she gazed upon it adoringly. Look at you, Nutmeg, she said, leaning down to give her a kiss. All excited for our first day back. Feels like eons, doesn't it? At least this year we aren't newbies. She laughed to herself. Maybe this year we can actually make some friends. Whaddya say? She kissed the snake one more time before tucking her into one of the pockets of her robes. Leaning against the table, Sydney brushed some of her blonde hair away from her face and then looked down at her one wrist. Upon it she wore a wrist band. She frowned as her pale eyes rested upon it and then let out a soft sigh. Carefully, she reached with her other hand so as to adjust it a bit. Across the way, heading toward Gryffindor Table, Noelle tried to make her way through the crowd of students. There seemed to be an unusual amount compared to the year before, but she could only assume that to be a good thing, that word of Hogwarts University's reputation had gotten out and more people had applied to attend. Humming a bit, Noelle tried to push past a few students who barred her way, one of whom she ended up tripping over. Ooofff... she yelped as she stumbled, reaching out to catch her balance. Hands off, mudblood, came a sneering voice. Noelle tilted her head and furrowed a brow. She was hardly Muggle-Born, though she wasn't pure like so many of the witches and wizards of the school. But she still fully understood the meaning behind the insult. Rather than causing a scene, she just brushed it off and continued on her way toward Gryffindor Table, humming her little tune as she did so.
