Juliet had spent the first night of her stay curled up in a corner of the entrance hall behind one of the many statues, it was her own fault, she had made sure no one would see her. It was there she'd left her belongings, and with the smell of food teasing her senses she'd made her way to the Great Hall.
Wandering through the entrance to the hall, she paused for a moment, taking in the details of the lovely room. "Magnifique.." She whispered under her breath, allowing a diminutive smile to settle upon her pink lips. Blinking a couple of times, she rested her light blue eyes on a table to the right of the room and headed over.
The gentle click of her heels on the marble floors helped her guidance and soon she was seated at one of the house tables, though which one, she'd failed to notice. Taking a big breath she smelt the many scents off the table and carefully reached forward, accidently knocking over a goblet of apple juice.
"Oh!" She gasped, biting her bottom lip as she struggled to right it again. Once it was upright once again she reached across the table and scooped up a dainty hanful of her favourite cuisine, l'escargot. Feeling better about herself, and somewhat more at home, Juliet ate the snails quickly.
A moment later her smile faded and she glanced around, listening intensely. The surrounding people had all fallen quiet, or moved away from her, and she heard a few muttering 'ew!' here and there. The girl felt her cheeks flush a deep rouge colour and she placed her empty hands in her lap and dropped her chin, feeling as though she'd lost her appetite.
It wasn't her fault she was French, didn't people understand culture? Why was she so embarrassed and upset over the mere comment of those around her?
Juliet sighed softly, ignoring the tears in the back of her eyes. Coming to MH was hard enough, and having people poke fun at her didn't help at all. Overall, Juliet felt as though she had a label on her forehead saying 'insignificant', for that's how she had felt from the moment she stepped slipper in the castle.

" Bonjour, pourquoi avez-vous cessé de manger ? Êtes vous non affamé?" Asked Ashlle. Ashlle G. Rainier was excellent at picking up languages and she had been taking French ever since she'd reentered the Wizarding World. She put the Snails on the table as a joke never expecting them to actually be eaten. But seeing as her recipe was enjoyed she wished to get to know the person who enjoyed it. " Vous semblez être nouveau. Mon nom est Chambre d'Ashlle G. Rainier Of Gryffindor, ce qui est votre nom?" OOC: For translation go to: babelfish.altavista.com/

Damien was scanning the hall when he saw Ashlle talking to a girl. Its been quite a while since he has seen her so he decided to say hi, not that theyre close or anything. . .
"Tour là Ashlle de Nice... hé il est été un moment. Je n'ai pas su que vous parlez français."
He surveys the new girl who seem to be eating the escargot. He looks at the cuisine as if stopping himself to gag. Thinking that they mightve seen his uneasinees over the snails, he smiles apologetically.

Juliet jumped as someone addressed her in French. She didn't look up though, instead she kept her pale eyes on the laced fingers in the lap of her grey dress. "Les gens rient à moi..." She murmered quietly, as tears blurred her irises to a dull white colour. "Je suis nouvel ici, mon nom est Juliet Chéri." She answered to the latter question, still looking down.
A moment later, Juliet heard another voice approaching, a boy this time, who sounded about the age of the girl who sat nearby. Ashlle, Juliet remember her name. It was a pretty name, maybe even a French name. Juliet was slightly surprised that the others spoke French, but when the boy came over, she remained silent, gently rocking her slippered feet back and forward under the table.
·: ooc :· Translation: Les gens rient à moi - The people laugh at me. Je suis nouvel ici, mon nom est Juliet Chéri - I am new here, my name is Juliet Chéri(darling).

Damien was surprised to see the girl about to cry.
He gave a questioning look at Ashlle, as if to ask him if it was her fault that she was crying and that she wanted him to leave.
"pardonnez-moi, mon nom est Damien Mauvais de Slytherin." he introduced himself, bowing a little.
"êtes-vous bien ?" he asked her.

" S'ils vous rient le besoin de rire en arrière. Les gens ici sont parfois cruels. Mais vous vraiment ne devez lui payer aucun esprit. Si vous voulez, je peux être votre ami ." She told Juliet kindly.
Then she turned to Damien. " Yes, Apparently my family spoke French as well, so I have a knack for it now. Officially I started learning it when I was brought back to the Wizarding World but we also had a French School Teacher when I was growing up."
Personally Ashlle thought Juliet a bit weak for not being able to eat a food she liked in defiance of the other Gryffindors at the table. But for some reason her heart when out to the new girl and she scowled at her fellow Gryffindors for being so rude.

Damien nods in understanding.
"I see...your family never fails to impress me,Ms Ashlle." he tells her as his gaze shifts from her to Juliet.
"Well we are french, but I dont embrace my culture that much because we move to different places..." he explains as he shrugs it off.

Juliet curled her fingers over the bench she was sitting on and blushed deeply as Ashlle and Damien spoke to her. She didn't answer, due to embarrassment and her shy demeanor, which usually led to her being ignored or pushed out of the conversation. She swallowed nervously and found her english tongue, then attempted to join the conversation.
"I-I'm from F-France too.." She said quietly, and though it may have been obvious, it was a gentle start to her being a part of the two talking. Her pale eyes left the floor and searched the area where she presumed Damien might be sitting. Her gaze was a bit off, and if one payed attention, they could see clearly that the dear girl was blind.

Ashlle for one was paying attention, but was far to well bred to ever metion such a thing out loud. "Est-ce que je peux prendre votre main ?" she asked so she wouldn't startle Juliet.
"il doit être difficile d'être dans une nouvelle école comme ceci. Quelles classes êtes-vous dedans ? Peut-être nous pourrions aller aux classes ensemble. Vous avez un animal de compagnie?"
By her last comment Ashlle ment a pet like a Seeing Eye Dog or somthing.

Damien beamed at Juliet to make her feel comfortable.
"That's good..that's good!" He said, his eyes forming into two slits as he smiled and nodded when she answered that she was also from France.
It was then he realized that she was blind when Ashlle and her were talking. he had stopped smiling bright;y and took a good look at her.
"oh sorry.." he quickly said, realizing it must be rude.

As Juliet listened to the two speak, she realised she had been asked a few questions, and she fidgeted with the trim on the bottom of her grey dress, thinking quickly about how she would answer. She was such a nervous wreck sometimes, but deep down she honestly appreciated the effort her two new aquaintances were making, and she smiled the smallest of smiles.
She nodded briefly at the first question and her hand slipped up to settle shyly on the table, her pale hands were small compared to those of the other students, and somewhat frail. As Ashlle asked more questions, Juliet began to feel more at home as she spoke in the French language, and she answered with a little enthusiasm this time.
"J'ai fait une Défense Contre Les Arts Sombres classe, mais cela est tout. J'aimerais aller aux classes avec vous, et non je n'ai pas un animal de compagnie, mais parfois je souhaite que j'ai fait." She finished, a bit of a sad look on her face as she remembered her white bunny that she used to take everywhere with her. One day she just went missing, and Juliet never saw her again, but she didn't see any point in telling the other two this, because it only made her sad.
Then the boy mentioned he was sorry, and Juliet's expression became slightly confused. She didn't say anything, but her light blue eyes travelled in his general direction, wondering what he was talking about. She hadn't seen him staring...
·: ooc :· Translation: J'ai fait une Défense Contre Les Arts Sombres classe, mais cela est tout. J'aimerais aller aux classes avec vous, et non je n'ai pas un animal de compagnie, mais parfois je souhaite que j'ai fait. = I've only been to a Defence Against The Dark Arts class, but that is all. I would like to go to the classes with you, and no I don't have a pet, but I sometimes wish I did...

Ashlle took Juliet's hand gently. She had never met a blind person before but, aside from being tinier than Ashlle, she didn't seem so different.
*"si vous voulez nous pourrions aller vous obtenir un animal de compagnie le week-end suivant à Hogsmeade. Il n'y a pas une restriction d'âge ici, ainsi n'importe quelle année peut aller."
Translations:*"If you want we could go and get you a Pet on the next weekend to Hogsmeade. There isn't an age Restriction here, so any year can go."

Juliet squeezed Ashlle's hand very gently as she offered to take Juliet to Hogsmeade, whatever that was, and help her buy a pet. The almost frail girl smiled widely, still with a timid expression and nodded eagerly. Even though they couldn't see anything, her azure eyes were wide with a newfound happiness. Maybe she really could make friends here afterall, and get a pet!

Ashlle turned to Damien.
"Would you like to come with us Damien?" She asked. "we could go to the Three Broomsticks for lunch and Butterbeer, sort of make a day out of it."
Ashlle had never been to Hogsmede with freinds before, and the thought of doing so made her smile.
