Yelena was excited after the sorting, and just a little excited that the Slytherin common room and dorms were in the dungeons. She'd already known, of course, but the reality was still exciting.
She marvelled for only a moment at the grand space, then rushed to find her room. She was sharing with one other girl, based on the luggage present, though the room had another bed. Excellent, she thought, more space for us.
Unpacking was a breeze. She unlocked her trunk, opened it, and just sat it against the wall beside her bed. It had its own deep drawers and hanging space, with room for everything. Her owl, Dragonborn, was in his cage beside her bed, so she let him out and he flapped up to the top of her chest.
"Hello. I hope they were gentle with you." She said to the bird, giving him a scritch in his feathers. She pulled a mouse from her chest, and shook it to remove the stasis charm, and threw it for Dragonborn to catch. In one swallow the small rodent was gone. He always was a neat eater.
Yelena sat down on her bed with her journal to await whoever was her roommate. In a moment she was bored, and got up to examine the trunk on the other bed, curious what she might find.

After the sorting, Kiami's shock at her unexpected placement had slowly turned into excitement as she followed the flow of the other students down into the dungeons and into the common room of Slythrin. She was bursting with anticipation taking it all in. Staring at the beautiful green ordinates and colors that were displayed beautifully around the room. Even in the dungeon the room seemed welcoming. The chatter and excitement of the other first year students helped to quell the rest of her nerves. The smile that formed on her face, was pure genuine happiness. She couldn't wait to write home and tell her parents.
After chatting with a few of the students, Kiami decided to go in search of her room. She needed to unpack, after a short adventure around the dorms, she finally found her room. Upon opening the door, Gomez leapt from his place and ran across the room, mewing a hello to the girl examining the box in front of Kiami's bed. She smiled when she recognized Yelena.
"Hey! We're roomies!?"

Yelena turned, smiling broadly, her hands moving behind her back with almost guilty quickness.
"Hi! We are! Isn't this just great! Look at these amazing beds!" She steps forward, offering her hand. "Good to meet you!"
Yelena has a Scottish accent, but not an overly strong one.
"You're from America, aren't you? I've never been there. Yet!"

Kiami laughs, not missing the quick movement of the girls hands. The guilty look only making Kiami laugh more. She steps further into the room, taking the girls offered hand, as she beamed.
"Don't worry, I would have snooped through your things if I were here first. I'm the curious type too. Yelena was it? Nice to officially meet you."
She scans the room, taking note of the third bed. And the things scattered around Yelena's bed. The beds did indeed look wonderful and welcoming.
"That pain in the butt is Gomez. And, these beds look amazing. I see a lot of tardy classes in my future!"

"Yelena, yes. Good to meet you, did you see? We have a Potter in the house this year! So exciting. I wonder what he's like! Was Slytherin a surprise for you? All my family are Slytherin, so I knew exactly where I'd be. My owl is Dragonborn. I hope she and Go ez will get along. I really need to take her up to the owlry when I get a chance. I don't think she'll be happy stuck down here in the dungeons, but I just love it!"
Yelena likes to talk, it seems, or she's just excited, or both.
"What do you think will be your favourite class?"
She bounces onto her bed, disturbing half her things which roll off the sides.

Kiami chuckles, allowing Yelena to chatter happily as she listens. She follows the girl, bouncing onto her own soft bed, before letting her feet dangle over the side, and swinging them back and forth.
"Well, yes. Sylthrin was a surprise. I was supposed to attend Illvermorny, in the states. I would have been placed in the same house as my parents, but then right before school started, we moved here."
Kiami watches as Gomez sniffs around the room, before settling at Yelena's feet. Tail swishing as his big blue eyes stared up at her, begging for attention.
"As you can see, Gomez loves everyone. He and Dragonborn will get along great. I can't believe Slythrin got a potter child! I really thought he would be Gryiffondor like his dad. Although, between him and the other boy that got sorted, I can't decide who's cuter!"
She smiles at the girl, happy to have someone who liked to chat as much as she did.
"I think, potions and herbology will be my favorite classes. My parents are healers, and I want to be a healer some day too. What about you? What will be your favorite? Oh! Do you want me to go with you when you take DragonBorn to the owlery later? We can explore the castle together!"

"I've always loved reading books on potions, and watching my mother make them. I like the class already. I read a heap of books before the year began. That's why I knew the answer to the professor's question about the potions. I'm not much of a fan of Divination. Dark Arts should be fun. Are you going to join the Dueling Club? And sure, come along ... we should grab your friend, too. The girl in Hufflepuff. She looks nice."

"I have tons of books on potions! My dad has a library that would but Hogwarts collection to shame."
Kiami laughs, and jumps off her bed, scooping up Gomez, and nuzzling his soft fur against her cheek, before letting him crawl up and curl into his usual spot on her shoulder. She beams at Yelena.
"You mean Mattie? I bet she would love to see the owlry! You know, she was raised almost like Harry Potter. Except, she was orphaned, and didn't live under a stair case."
Kiami turns, unlocking her trunk and starts to pull out some of the books she had brought along with her to school, laying them neatly onto her bed. As she continues to chatter away to Yelena.
"Later, we should compare and swap books. And! We should try to get paired up in potions class. I bet the two of us together, would blow everyone else away! "

Yelena smiles, bouncing on her bed. She couldn't have asked for a better room mate. This was going to be amazing!
"Oh yes, we so should. How long have you known Mattie for? It's so sad she was orphaned. I can't imagine growing up not knowing I was a witch. I mean, I've always known. Though, it's true we don't all grow up to be magical. Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Yelena opens a door in her big trunk and there's a bookcase inside. She pulls a few books out to show Kiami. Then she pulls out a mouse and feeds it to Dragonborn.
"What sort of wand did you get? Mine's Dogwood, with a dragon heart string!" She shows Kiami proudly.
