Welcome to Gaia! ::

As the shadowy antagonist fell apart into small balls of fluff Ronyo did chuckle a bit more at the sight of such a menacing creature be reduced to something cute and cuddly. Watching it scurry away finally and leaving the rest of the students alone had Ronyo issuing a sigh of relief but only for a moment. While the current problem had been taken care of with only a few mental injuries to some students the Boggart still got away. It was yet one more issue to contend with this year to compound the trouble that would likely come about.

A Boggart loose in the halls of Hogwarts was no simple random problem either. The creature was formed from fear and darkness itself, the only thing darker than them was the dementors. Having such a thing freely roaming the corridors of Hogwarts was not something he could sit by and do nothing about. That being said he was not sure where he could place the thing on his priority list, with Phi still not being seen, and now something apparently wrong with Colton Ronyo hoped he would not be the only person to look to deal with the Boggart issue. Hopefully Professor Althis would be looking to contain the creature as well, and with luck would be able to help prepare all the students should they face the thing again.

So the Boggart would fall shorter on his to-do list but it would still be there. First thing that seemed easy enough to find some small amount of info on was Colton. Ronyo looked over to the Raveclaw table to try and eye the blonde hair of the younger sister of the possibly troubled lion. However blonde was not the hair color that stood out as he finally spotted the red fiery locks of his other troubled friend. Seeing this to be one of his only chances to speak with the younger Raines member Ronyo moved towards the table to hopefully spot the girl, but he could also say hello to Phi and see how she was doing.

Nova brightened at the thought of a fellow studious mind and possiable friend, she had also notice the topic of mother's bothered Lavender so she chose to talk of something else for now maybe Lavender would trust her enough to explain it later "Transfiguration also intrest me as well my father even taught me a few spells that the teach the first years a durmstrang." Nova paused she hoped her next question didn't come across as too stuck up and then asked. "Maybe I could show you one or two of them If you want?"

Anyanka Swan, the Headmistress here at Hogwarts, nodded to Professor Evernight as she finished the Sorting and then rose from her seat. She moved to the podium and the owl spread its wings, ushering the room into silence. She smiled at all of the faces focusing on her. "Hello everyone. For those of you who were newly Sorted, I am Headmistress Swan. And to those of you who already know me, I say welcome back. This year will prove to be an exciting one. I expect all of you to compete for the House Cup and earn your House honor. I would like to remind all students that the Forbidden Forest is off limits to all students. And remember students what a wise man once said, he said, 'help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who need it.' Now, let us enjoy our Welcoming Feast!" With that, she clapped her hands and the food appeared on the tables.

Jessica Sassareth

Slytherin Prefect, Fifth Year

Jess breathed a sigh of relief, when all of the ruckus was done, and the Headmistress gave her speech. When everyone ate, the ailing pale redhead dined on roast beef, roasted potatoes and vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, and several slices of red leicester cheese with Darjeeling tea.

As Jess completed her meal, she listened to the conversations of the others -- not so much the content of the conversation but different voices harmonies noting the qualities. As Jess finished the plates disappeared and noted that the her fellow Slytherins were finishing up. The new prefect stood, speaking clearly, "Alright First Years. If you will follow me, I shall guide you to the Slytherin Dormitory. No need for anyone getting lost on their first day, so form up!" Jess moved around with a slight smirk.

(edit)

Marina Eugenie Aldred, Proud Halfblood, Slytherin First Year

Marina got up from the table, glad to have finally eaten. She rubbed her eyes tiredly. With a soft yawn she began to follow the prefect.

Damien scowled a little when Miss DeWitt didn't respond or take his hand to shake it. He supposed she might have been distracted from him by the Headmistress' announcement, but still, it had been rather rude of her. He was starting to wonder if perhaps his parents were the only ones who knew how to raise a child with proper manners in these days. When their prefects announced that they would be leaving for the dorms, he scowled. Their male prefect was the boy who'd been talking to Michelle, the one who had been eyeing her so strangely. Damien didn't like this at all. Why did that creep have to be a prefect? He sighed, finishing his dinner and following the couple to their dorms.
