A Couple Ravens at the Table PV River Closed

Since arriving at Hogwarts, only a few days earlier, the place had continued to impress and surprise River in so many ways. After going from not having a singe idea that the magical world even existed, to being trown into it head first, had caused a headache to build up.
The headache had continued to grow and become more and more painfull the more River learned of this new universe. Even just navigatong the long, twisting, stone corridors and stairs of the castle, helped that headache live on in her brain.
The strange thing is, River didn’t think any of it was a bad thing. It was all incredible, the best thing that ever happened to her. All the new information must simply have been too much to handle at once?
That’s how the headache crept up, and found itself a nice comfortable spot in the back left part of River’s head covered in a thick mane of red, curly hair.
The fact that magic even existed was something she had trouble comprehending. In moments, she wasn’t sure she even believed it at all, which is stupid considering the fact that she’d seen it all with her own eyes. Dreams don’t last this long, and she’d tried pinching herself many a times, though not procceeded to wake up. Her eyes never woke back in her bed at home in the morning, but always in the dormitories of the grand castle, with the rest of her house, her new family.

River entered the great hall, it was a nice morning, a quiet morning. She enjoyed those, the quiet mornings.
The ones where River went about her business, without being interupted by anyone else. The mornings where time was her own, and she managed to not get lost in the winding paths one can find on their journey to the breakfast table.
The red-haired girl turned and laid her eyes upon the Ravenclaw table. There were already people sitting around it, the blue colours of the house were embroided upon every student’s robes. Some were chatting, some eating, others studying or reading their books.
So far, River hadn’t really talked to many people, her mind had been to busy figuring everything out. Also, to be honest, socializing was never a strong side for River, and most of the time, she’d rather get stuck with her nose in a good book, than make conversation.
Today though, River hadn’t brought her book down to the table. She had the supplies she needed for the classes after, but nothing she’d really like to read at the moment.

Looking for a spot to sit down, River walked slowly up to the long table. There were multiple places free, but she was looking for a place next to someone who perhaps didn’t seem too scary.
River spotted a girl, sitting a little further up ahead, she seemed quite busy with work of some sort. Her hair was silver blonde, and ripled down by her shoulders. Perhaps that would be a good shot? Maybe River could even avoid conversation completely, as the girl seemed to be quite busy?

River approached the place where the girl was sitting, it looked like the space opposite her was free. She figured it would probably be polite to ask, before simply sitting down. «Pardon me», River began, attempting to get the attention of the ravenclaw, «I was just wondering if this spot is taken?», the red-head nodded down to the seat across the table from the girl. Her hands, clutching the strap of her burgundy red bag.
