[Sept 4] DADA-All Years: Orientation

"Congratulations! Typical that both the Gryffindor and Slytherin captains are both boys." Jillian whispers to Liliana with a small laugh, "Hug time?" she asked, holding out her arms but not initiating the hug herself after their previous conversation. "I think you'll do great, just don't scold me too much when I inevitably mess up." she smiled.

After Liliana has accepted or declined the hug she'll mutter, "I have to go talk to your cousin.. I'll see you up in our room later, okay?"

She chuckled gathering her things and walking with Yelena. "I have no idez what to write about to be honest. And as for dueling not my thing. I'll leave that to my brother and cousin. They both seem to be excited about it. I can't wait for Magical Creature's, Herbology and Transfiguration to be honest. I'm not sure I'll do great in here or potions and I'm still unsure about Divination's also."

She shrugged her shoulders as they walked, Morticia catching up to Mattie. Mattie picked her up and set her on her books and looked to Yelana. "Morticia, Yelena. Yelena this is Morticia" Morticia mewed softly at the girl before jumping from her hands back to the floor and darting off again.

"She will probably visit you. Gomez and her are friends." she laughs as Morticia darted between kids and disappeared.

Dristan watches eaxh student intently as they get ready to depart. He noticed Jillian and Lilianna approaching as he leans forward in his chair and looking at them with emotionless eyes.

"Miss Penrose...Miss Adamson what can I do for the both of you?"

For a moment he glances at Mattie and saw she was speaking with Yelena and looked back to the two Ravenclaws.

Lili followed Jillian up to the desk where Dristan sat. She noted the look and new he had used the spell to help him get through the first days of class. She still hated the spell- but she could only understand why he had been doing it.

"Professor- Jillian and I room together and I wouldn't mind lending her my books until she's able to get hers squared away." She set the parent permission on the desk upside down for him to grab later.

Jillian smiled as Liliana spoke up which was in turn replaced by puzzlement at her cousins reaction. With a thankful smile she collected the books, "Th-thank you, Professor. When my family are able to send me copies I shall be sure to return these. I hope I can prove you right."

She took a half step backwards and flashed her friend a warm smile as Dristan's announced his pride. She was deeply impressed by Liliana herself, feeling herself more determined to try and do better in the club. When the points were awarded she just nodded.

Kiami followed beside Mattie, Yelena on their friends other side. The three chattering happily as they walked into DADA. Gomez, in his usual spot perked up, ears twitching with happiness when he spotted Mattie's kitten Morticia. He purred out, before following her. The two attached at the hip as always. Where one went the other followed. Kiami wasn't even phased when her boy joined Morticia on the professors desk. She had a feeling it would be happening a lot. Instead, she chuckled and shook her head as she smiled warmly at Dristan.

"Looks like the kittens are as attached to you as they are to each other professor."

Then she followed her two friends to the front of the class, Mattie again between the three of them.

When Mattie got up to go talk to her cousin Kiami leaned over, chatting to Yelena. The two roomed together, and were fast becoming friends.

Dristan then grabbed everyone's attention as Mattie settled back into her seat. Kiami listened intently to the professor, and then started skimming through the packet placed in front of her.

She sat quietly, not having any questions about the class as of yet, and allowed the others to ask instead.

A student slide late into class, tall with dark hair and striking eyes. Kiami found herself staring until he moved from her view to the back of the class. She blinked, her cheeks slightly red with embarrassment and then slunk back into her chair, the rest of the class going by in a blur, until the professor dismissed them from class. She scooped up her things, picking up Gomez and placing him on her shoulder before nodding her goodbyes to Dristan and sliding out the door, catching up with Mattie and Yelena as they made their way to their next class.
