Ruby went out of the Great Hall, plate in hands. She didn’t fancy socializing right now, it was only her first day. She decided to eat at the grounds, like she sometimes did at her old Muggle school. She carefully set her plate down on the grass and flopped down, savoring the wind on her face. She loved windy weather. She got her fork and spoon and tucked in. Munching on lamb chops, Ruby looked around, her head turning this way and that way. Ruby loved nature and described herself as someone who’s obsessed with quiet forests. Ruby’s eyes widened in surprise and delight as she saw a fox jump out from a bush. The fox took no notice of her, but Ruby wasn’t bothered even though the fox was her favorite animal. The fox ran to its burrow, and to Ruby’s delight yet again, a monarch butterfly drifted towards Ruby and landed on her forearm. She smiled. The butterfly was her spirit animal, and it was good luck if you saw your spirit animal, according to experts. The butterfly flied away after a few minutes. Ruby smiled and waved at it, despite knowing it definitely wouldn’t understand. I guess Hogwarts could actually be my home after all… just like Mum said. But would I live up to her standards? Lexille Donelds, Perfect Prefect… But then, at the corner of her eye, she saw somebody in the distance. Who could that be?

Stephanie had finished eating her food and decided some fresh air might help ease the nerves she had in her stomach. The food was amazing and she had taken a napkin with a couple sweet treats to nibble on.
Her favourite so far had to be the pastries, one of them had a raspberry jam and cream inside, it reminded her of the cakes from at home. The main course itself was a lot more extravagant than her old school, though she does miss her parents cooking.
She had made a mental note to write a Christmas card for the elves in the kitchen, growing up in a muggle school, it was normal to get Christmas gifts and cards for the staff. Typically the go to gift would be a box of chocolates. Though she knows there isn't a grocery store nearby which meant she might not be able to, but she will think of something.
She had not been paying attention to where she was walking and paused when she saw her favourite animal. A fox. She finds them fascinating, from the colours, the habits and the sounds. She watches as it scampers to it's burrow, no fear shown to her, or, she realised whilst watching the monarch butterfly fly towards a figure sitting down, to them. She watches the butterfly fly away and then looks back at the student, who was already looking. Her eyes widened a bit and she quickly smiles to appear friendly "Hi. I'm Stephanie"

Hi. I’m Stephanie. The moment Ruby Amethyst Diumme heard Stephanie’s voice, she felt the impulse and instinct to introduce herself. She did so. Hello, Stephanie, I’m Ruby Amethyst Diumme, first year, Ravenclaw, and twelve years old, she stated curtly, eyes closed as she smiled. She opened her black eyes and looked at Stephanie curiously. Ruby noticed Stephanie’s blonde hair and light blue eyes. Blue eyes are so pretty. But, technically, all eyes are. They’re the beautiful and ethereal mirrors of the soul. She crossed her legs, making sure her plate did not fall, hence holding it above her legs beforehand. Ruby awaited her response eagerly. She then removed her glasses, got a handkerchief in her skirt pocket, and began to clean them a bit while waiting, glancing at Stephanie Kensington sometimes. After a few minutes, she put her glasses back on and put her handkerchief back again into her pocket. I hope she doesn’t think I’m weird or awkward. But, again, I might be a bit entitled or something like that. Or maybe I just have to let go and embrace myself. I won’t let others define me. Okay, why is this getting mildly inspirational, conversations are not always about me. Wait, I might seem crazy, let’s get back into the present time.

Roaming through the gorgeous courtyard Yolanda was balancing more than 3 treacle tarts, and some pumpkin juice (which she’d missed since last year); Yolanda couldn’t help but stop with wonder at another year at Hogwarts!
She saw a Niffler digging and started giggling at the sight! Deciding to watch for more animals Yolanda noticed a fox close by – right out in the courtyard. She saw a girl with a Monarch Butterfly land on her! It was just an adorable overload all around.
Seeing all this she also noticed the new Ravenclaw begin chatting with another new girl. Yolanda decided to be bold and greet the newer girls.
“Hi, I’m Yolanda – seond year, Ravenclaw - nice to meet you two. You’ve got the right idea about eating outside in the courtyard on a day like this! Nature, and Hogwarts, is so beautiful.” Yolanda sighed while attempting to not over-chat due to her nerves.
Looking at her hands still full, and balancing, food and juice, Yolanda smiled at the ridiculous amount she had believed she would devour. Her eyes were bigger than her stomach today!
“Treacle tart? They are sooo good! I have spares!” Yolanda giggled again.
As much as Yolanda yearned for home she was really excited to be back at Hogwarts. She remembered her first year and how exciting yet confusing it was sometimes. She hoped she could be a bit of help to the new girls. Hogwarts was so beautiful with it’s magical animals, plants, kids and professors
Full of treacle tarts.
Pulling herself from her digressing thoughts, Yolanda gave the girls a smile and waited to see if they’d take her up on her tasty offer.
If not more for her! Yolanda took a sip of juice and bite of her own treacle tart, not able to wait any longer. Was that Niffler eyeing her tarts - or did she have something shiny on her? Adorable and taste overload! What a great day.

Stephanie grinned at the other girl and upon another entrance she smiles "I'm Stephanie Kensington, nice to meet you" She greets the girl. "What does a treacle tart taste like? I've never tried them" She confesses and takes a seat ocmfortable nearby but not too close. She didn't want to just sit next to someone who she did not know, that was rude. "I have heard of treacle, it is in a film I watched, but all I know is that it is sticky, and dark, and gooey. Like golden syrup" She says, looking around the surroundings "And I am glad I came out here, there is soo much to see, I feel like if I blink I will miss something" She smiles.
She takes a pause from speaking to take a small bite of her pastry, the familiarity of the taste reminding her of home, it was a welcomed familiarity and she reminds herself to mention it in her next letter home. Stephanie thinks about what else she needs to mention in her letter and how to write with a quill and ink. She is used to ballpoint pens. Perhaps she shall use the ones she brought with her until she picks up the skill of using a quill.
