Long Awaited Supper

[shayla]

Shayla happily strolled into the huge Great Hall, where the students of each house at a one of four tables. Smiling, she glided over to the Ravenclaw table, and took a seat by herself. Pushing a few chunks of her bangs behind her ear, she sighed softly and hoped to see Cherry and Sephe arrive soon.

Shayla's hair was now forumed neatly into a rippling plait that cascaded down her back, and her crisp, black robes now proudly displayed a crimson and blue Ravenclaw emblem.

Running a lilac laquered fingernail all the wooden table's grain, she decided to wait until her newly aqquainted friends got there before attempting to order or pick anything out to eat. Besides, she didn't have the faintest clue how to do that anyway.

[Ondrea]

Ondreas' stomach had been growling, it sounded as if there was a thunder-storm happening in there, Now why would it be doing that? she asked herself, as she headed towards the great hall, Maybe because you haven't eaten in two days...

Upon entering the Great Hall, Ondrea could smell the delicious foods awaiting her poor hungry stomach. However, she didn't get excited, she was actually nervous, because there were more people in the Great Hall then normal, the sound of their chatter, like the angry buzzing of bees. Hoping not to run into any obstacles, quickly get a bite to eat, and then leave, she started walking at a faster pace. Her deep blue eyes glued to the ground, in hopes not to meet any other unfamiliar ones. The sound of the chatter was getting to her by now, "Shut-up." she would hiss under her breath, "Shut-up"

Reaching into her black back-pack, she found her MP3 player, and let out a sigh of relief. Putting the headphones on, and turning her music up so loud, the noise of people talking was totally canceled-out.

Once reaching the Slytherin table (or what she thought to be) she took a seat, at the end of the table, and tore her eyes off the ground, to find herself sitting with a Ravenclaw girl, she had never seen before. Looking around, she saw some other Ravenclaws, that did not seem to be eating with her, but that told Ondrea, she was at the wrong table.

"Sh*t!" she said under her breath, as she looked at the girl, her cheeks growing pinker then her usual pale tone.

Putting her black bangs behind her ears, she looked down again, to see her feet, dressed in her favourite army boots. Then her eyes moved to her lap, today she was wearing a black skirt, with her normal chains connected to them. Pulling at her red tank-top, she forced herself to look up at the girl.

"Oops wrong table." she said in her whisper of a voice, now playing with her dog-collar necklace, she stood up, "I should be going then." and with that, she took a couple steps towards the Slytherin table. A place where she had few friends in.

[Starlit Night]

Starlit walked into the Great Hall, pushing the doors open. One who knew her would have easily been able to tell she had come from the library. Her long blonde hair was tied up in a low ponytail by a black ribbon and she carried two thick books in her arms. One on charms and the other on magical creatures.

Realizing she was a bit late she quickened her pace until she reached her house table. Before sitting down she scanned the place for somebody she new. When nobody appeared she sat down by a girl who also appeared to be sitting alone.

After setting down her books and her ever present worn out shoulder bag she sat and waited for food to appear on the platters in front of them. 'Maybe I wasn't as late as I thought,' she thought as she watched more groups of students filing in. Soon crowding the Hall more then usual.

Hearing a slight commotion around where she sat she heard somebody in her house tell somebody that they were at the wrong table. As they were on the opposite side of the person beside Star she leaned backwards to see better and saw Ondrea leaving in a hurry.

"Hey Ondrea, get back here," she said before turning to the person who she now took to be a new student. Just as she opened her mouth to speak again the food appeared. She carefully took a grilled cheese sandwich and poured a dollop of ketchup on her plate.

Dipping her choice into the tomato like sauce she took a bite and swallowed before continuing with what she was going to say. "Hi, I'm Starlit or Star whichever one you prefer. Are you new to Magic Horizons?" she asked carefully not wishing to offend them if they were not new.

[shayla]

Just as Shayla have been pondering the thought of ohw to summon or order food, two girls had approached the table. The first girl had raven black hair, and deep sapphire eyes. She seemed so intent on the ground beneath her feet she had taken a seat at the Ravenclaw table instead of the Slytherin one across the room. At the small time a blonde haired Ravenclaw had taken a seat at the table. To Shayla's surprise, food suddenly filled the plates and pitchers that had been empty moments before. Shayla's amethyst eyes widened with delight as she plucked a strawberry from a nearby fruit tray and popped it into her mouth.

After overhearing the blonde Ravenclaw address the Slytherin as Ondrea, she turned to Shayla, and kindly introduced herself as Starlit. Smiling gingerly, Shayla replied softly.

"It's nice to meet you Star, I'm Shayla."

Plucking another strawberry from the try, her gaze darted over to the girl, Ondrea, who had started to walk away. Shayla could tell the girl was shy. She knew exactly how shy people felt, since she still was very much the introverted type. With a comforting grin, she smoothly spoke to Ondrea.

"And it's nice to meet you too, Ondrea, was it?"

[Aspenn Pania]

"Ugh, I'm late!" Aspenn muttered as she ran into the great hall, her dark hair failing out behind her. She had gotten lost, and it wasn't the first time either. The people here only paid attention long enough to ask where she was from, and then if she'd say "mate". Aspenn was so flustered that she didn't notice the girls ahead until it was to late.
"Oh," she said as she collided with them, "sorry. God, I'm such a klutz. I'm so sorry."

[Ondrea]

ooc- I would RP rite now, but I think I will wait for Cherry and Persehone... They are supposed to be coming right?

[shayla]

Suddenly, a dark haired girl ran smack-dab into the small, huddled group. Almost tipping over from force, Shayla regained her footing and maintained her balance. Her violet eyes had widened with surprise, but once catching the girl in her sights, her attarctive smile re-sprouted upon her pink lips. Giggling softly, she smoothed the wrinkled from her robe and tossed her swirling braid over her shoulder. Setting her hand delicately upon the girl's shoulder, she spoke to her in an uplifting tone.

"You seem to be in a hurry, and don't worry, I've probably have ran into people more than anyone here."

Blushing slightly at her confession, Shayla warmly tried to comfort the girl.

"I'm Shayla, freshly sorted into Ravenclaw house, and you are?"

ooc~ Actuallly, feel free to continue, Ondrea. They'll be along soon, I hope, but it's ok if you resume.

[Starlit Night]

Starlit smiled pleasantly, "It's nice to meet you Shayla." Turning around she opened her mouth to speak again when something crashed into her, and appearingly the other two with her and nearly knocked her flat out off the bench.

After re-collecting herself she looked up with dark blue eyes and saw another student who had crashed into them and was now apologizing. "Don't worry about it, nobody got hurt, trust me I have had my clumsy moments as well..." she this she paused to think of the time she tripped and almost fell into a plate of pancakes.

She suppressed a small laugh at the memory and looked rather odd for nothing really funny was going on, outside her head. "So would you like to sit with us," she asked and motioned softly to the free space on the bench.

[Cherry]

Cherry walked into the Great Hall late. Not a big surprise there, but she did feel a bit bad for being late with her meeting with Persephone and Shayla. Scanning the Ravenclaw table, she saw Shayla and nearly called out her hellos when she saw a few girls around her. She decided to make her entrance a bit more suddle, so Cherry walked up and took the empty place on the other side of Shayla.

"Hey Shayla. Sorry I'm late, got held up in the library." She whispered to her friend.

[Aspenn Pania]

Aspenn's dazzling smile appeared for the first time since arriving at Magic Horizons.

"Aspenn, pleased to meet you. I just moved from New Zealand."

She looked down at her rainbow-colored, pin-covered bag as she waited to see if the girl even noticed that she was still there. No one else had. It wasn't even that she was plain and forgettable, it was just that everyone had been more interested in other things.

[~Persephone~]

Persephone rushed into the Great Hall, she had almost forgotten that she was eating with Cherry and Shayla tonight. Quidditch practice had run late, and then she had lost all track of time. She had had to change quickly, and then run down for supper.

She made her way there, and look at the Ravenclaw table. She could see Cherry and Shayla, and Ondrea there,and then some people she didn't know.

She found a seat near both of her friends and sat down.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late!"

[Cherry]

Cherry looked up at the familiar voice. "Oh, no worries with me, I just got her m'self." She smiled sheepishly. "Library held me up today...got lost in a book."

[~Persephone~]

Persephone smiled a little bit at that. It was good to know that they weren't going to hold that over her. She had felt bad that she had been late, and didn't want to hurt her friends. They were the closest thing to family that she had ever head.

"Yea, got a little caught up in practice tonight. Didn't think it'd go so long..."

[shayla]

Cherry and Sephe had just arrived and Shayla was all smiles. Hugging both of her new friend softly, her turned toward the plate of food that rested on the table in front of her.

"No problem! You weren't that late, and I've meet some more nice people! Meet, Starlit, Ondrea, and Aspenn!"

Shayla sung as she pushed a fork full of maraconi in her mouth.

[~Persephone~]

Persephone turned to the three she had mentioned. She had met Starlit and Ondrea, but had no idea who Aspen was.

"Hey Ondrea, Starlit!" She waved cheerfully at them, and then turned to the one she presumed to be Aspenn.

"Hey, I'm Persephone, or Sephe!" She reached a hand across the table to the girl.
