The Slytherin Table 2019-2020
"SLYTHERIN!"
*Shouted the sorting hat.. Tabitha smiles happily, a silent "Yes!" resounding in her mind. She feels so content in Slytherin as she finds it the most intriguing house to her. She's not really sure why it appeals to her, but she loves the color scheme, and seems to be drawn to the house symbol; a snake. She raises herself from the sorting chair, and steps down from the platform she stood. Suddenly she is filled with slight nervousness. Her gaze reaches the long table with her clapping house peers, and she realizes her predicament. Thoughts swirl through her mind..*
*"..where should I sit?"*
*"..I don't have any siblings... maybe I'm just overthinking this"*
*Tabitha scans the table for an empty seat. The students cease their clapping, and it is the next person's turn to be sorted. Her peers don't seem to intimidating, but she doesn't want to leave a bad first impression. She notices that there are a few spaces available to sit. She decides to choose a random one, leaving her choice of acquaintances to fate. She reaches that part of the table and towards it. A handful of students look up at her with their attention.*
"Excuse me..Um...Can I sit here?" *She stutters.*

The Slytherin Table 2019-2020
"Slytherin!!"The old enchanted hat holler again, signing yet another of First Year will be join her with the other that she already acquaintances with. Cassie look up and briefly paused the conversation she had with Lilith. She clapped alongside her housemate to their newest member of the house.
Then Cassie saw the girl raised herself from the sorting chair and stepped down from where the platform she stood then began to walk toward the table. Cassie knitted her eyebrows, there a hint of unsureness on the girl face.
Nervous, overwhelmed or even scared, perhaps? Cassie wonders. A lot of people in Slytherin table look at her but maybe it just for formality, nobody ask her to join them.
The girl eyes dart looking at several empty spot beside her. "Excuse me..Um...Can I sit here?"The girl said. There's a stutters in her voice. Definitely nervous, Cassie concluded. "Yeah sure"Cassie replied to the girl. "You don't mind do you?"Cassie questions Lilith. Cassie think for a moment how to approach this girl.
Is it with a bit malice and indifferent or just plain old nice? Cassie choose the later. "Hi! Welcome to Slytherin table. I'm Cassie and this is Lilith"Cassie stated as she introduce herself and the brown eyes girl that sat on the right side of her.

The Slytherin Table 2019-2020
*Tabitha waits a few seconds in anticipation. She crosses her fingers with her hand behind her back, and does so in a subtle way, in order for no one to notice.*
"Yeah sure" A girl from the table says. *Tabitha holds in a sigh of relief.* The girl then consults the person to her right;"You don't mind do you?" she asks. *Tabitha smiles politely, sitting down carefully upon approval.* "Hi! Welcome to Slytherin table. I'm Cassie and this is Lilith"
After the pleasant introduction, Tabitha responds, “It’s nice to meet you both.” she pauses, then states, “My name is Tabitha.” *Tabitha’s nervousness is consoled. She is glad she received a warm welcome. She sits down carefully to Cassie’s left, and watches the sorting hat continue its work. A few seconds pass, and Tabitha eventually decides to spark conversation. She turns to look at Cassie and asks in curiosity*,
“What year is it for you and Lilith, here?”
*A short flashback emerges in Tabitha’s mind as she waits for an answer. Shortly after receiving her acceptance letter for Hogwarts, Tabitha was told by her mother that there were seven years at Hogwarts. It was then that she realized that her mom must’ve attended school there. Tabitha felt foolish at first that she never asked about it, but then quickly reminds herself that her parents would never discuss magic anyway, even though it was all around Tabitha. She had no reason to ask.*
*Her mind snaps back to the present as she receives a reply..*

Lilith waved at the curly-haired girl that Cassie was introducing as Tabitha. She looks nice... Lilith thought as Tabitha sat down. "Im in first year, and I think Cassie is too, but I'm not entirely sure."She took her bluejay quill and again began to continue on her drawing, this time putting it directly on the table for people to see instead of shoving it near her face to avoid attention. Insecurity always got the best of her, though, so she covered most of the sketchbook with her arms and continued drawing. She had already started to plan out a whole storyline for this one dragon- His name was Nylon. A whole timeline was being made right in her mind, and she didn't want to be interrupted, so she slowly blocked out most sound. She still kept an eye out to see if anyone was talking to her, but other than Cassie and the new girl, this was rare. She wasn't exactly the most approachable person, however, since she wasn't very vocal and always had her mind on something other than her social life. Drawing was one if these "somethings," and almost always was if there wasn't something more important. Beginning now, that would change drastically. Her classes, a new social life, and other plans would keep her from her hobby, so she tried to make the most of it now.

Interacts with : @Lilith Wrenhearth | @Tabitha CaldwellAfter Cassie introduced herself and Lilith to the new girl, the new girl sat down carefully. “It’s nice to meet you both.”She briefly pause, “My name is Tabitha."She continues. The girl that Cassie now know as Tabitha ask to both Lilith and them. “What year is it for you and Lilith, here?”
After Cassie asks Lilith whether she minded or not for Tabitha joined them, Lilith head raised up and look at Tabitha. She waved as a sign that Lilith welcome Tabitha as Cassie welcome her too. Cassie's about to open their mouth to stated they're new to Hogwarts too to Tabitha but Lilith beat them to it.
"I'm in first year, and I think Cassie is too, but I'm not entirely sure."Lilith said. "What she said"Cassie replied but it seems there's a malice in their tone that comes out from their mouth and after Cassie repeated what they said in their head it sound impolite and rude. "I mean I'm First Year too"Cassie backpedalled and corrected their wrong, they addressed it to Tabitha.
Cassie then see Lilith picked up her bluejay quill and began to continue on her drawing drawing again. Lilith put her sketch book on the table so anyone that near her whether it's across or beside her can see her artworks. Cassie smile knowingly Lilith slowly trusts herself. I mean her drawing is marvellous and that comes from me. Someone who can't draw, Cassie said internally.
Cassie understand that for some minutes onward Lilith can't be disturb, so Cassie turn a bit towards Tabitha, "How you liking so far? Any classes that you excited to attend?"Cassie enquires.

"I'm in first year, and I think Cassie is too, but I'm not entirely sure." Lilith said. "What she said" Cassie replied. They pause, then clarify, "I mean I'm First Year too".
“Oh, Cool.” Tabitha responds. *She watches as Cassie turns to Lilith, who seems to be drawing, quietly with a blue feather quill. Tabitha smiles for a second, reminded of her countless hours spent doing the same at her house.*
*Tabitha tries to decipher what Lilith is drawing from the limited angle her view can reach. At that moment, she begins to understand Lilith’s unwillingness to completely expose her art. For Tabitha, artmaking was a very personal thing. An image of her personal process pops up in her head. Ink Swirls and splatters, hatching and shading. She would draw whatever she desired at the time.*
*When she was younger, it was a collection of her and her father together. Later, it was Tabitha herself, watching children play at the distance, wondering what it’d be like to have a friend circle. More recently, it was an imagined Wizard’s Chess trophy.*
Lilith moves the sketchbook a little, and Tabitha finally gets a clear picture.
*”A dragon..” she says in her mind. “..So that’s what they look like…”*
*She had only heard descriptions from others, but it was difficult to visualize when she hadn’t even seen a reptile before, other than snakes that would occasionally make their way into Tabitha’s bedroom.*
Cassie looks back towards Tabitha, and asks, "How you liking so far? Any classes that you excited to attend?"
*Tabitha thinks a bit.. *
“Well, I really love that I’m in Slytherin, at least. A wise older man I admired in the past told me he was placed there. He shared all kinds of fascinating stories with me.”
*A short pause occurs, then she continues, *
“As for classes, I guess I’m looking forward to all of them. I’ve never read much about magic, and my parents would rarely perform spells, so it’s fascinating for me.”
“..I sound like a Muggle!” *Tabitha smiles, then laughs a little to herself. She hopes that she didn’t come off as awkward. *

The Slytherin Table 2019-2020
"SLYTHERIN!"
The Sorting hat Screamed causing Macie to halfway fall off the stool and drop her book about the ghosts of Hogwarts, this was not the house she had expected but she would make the best of the situation. Taking an Empty seat near the end of the table away from the others, Macie set her book on the table with a soft thump and resumed reading her book. Macie was not good around people her age she mostly stayed to her self, having no siblings made her a bit standoffish around others her age, Macie had thought she would be placed in Hufflepuff like her parents were when they attended Hogwarts But instead she was placed in Slytherin, her parents would be proud of her no matter what house but she felt uneasy about this house, however, she planned to make the best out of it, keep to her self and stay outta trouble.
Only After Finishing the chapters on the Gray Lady & The Fat Friar did Macie look up and look at the others at the table. She did not speak as she was not sure what to say but she looked at each one with guarded yet friendly interest. Once the meal Arrived Macie ate a minimal amount and a small slice of Apple Pie for dessert, then she got to her feet and walked out of the great hall, She wanted to explore the castle a bit before bed, to learn her way around and see where her classes were so when classes began she would not get lost in the crowd.

When Cassie asked how was the liking so far for this school to Tabitha, the other girl responded that se love that she is in Slytherin and saying something along side an wise old man, what the old man said to her and the fascinated stories between the wise old man and the brown hair girl.
"That is interesting, I guess"Cassie responded. "If I may ask, the old wise man is it your dad or some relative in your family? But you do not have to tell me about it if you do not want to"Cassie added and smile to Tabitha. Cassie did not want to came off as nosy and rude.
On Cassie's right side, Lilith still drawing away her dragon. How can you blocked out all the noises in here, Cassie wonders as they looked at Lilith. Lilith was in her own world. Drawing dragons, added little bit details for her dragon her and there.
As for classes Tabitha mentions that she is looking forward to all of it. For Cassie two of them is Charms and Herbology also Quidditch (if you can count that one as class). Tabitha stated that she never read much about magic, and her parents would rarely perform spells. In her case all of this still new and fascinating for her. Cassie smile fondly at that.
“I sound like a Muggle!”Tabitha added and smiles, then laughs a little to herself. Cassie as per Tabitha statement knitted her eyebrow. "Are you?"The tone that come out from Cassie mouth a bit standoffish as they intended. "I mean are you half, pure or you know..."Cassie trailed off. They do not want to mention Mudblood still it was not a language in the Ironwood Manor easily thrown around and their mom told them to always respectful regardless their blood status.

"That is interesting, I guess"Cassie responded. "If I may ask, the old wise man is it your dad or some relative in your family? But you do not have to tell me about it if you do not want to. They smiled at Tabitha.
“He was a customer at a shop my Mum runs, actually. She brews muggle coffee and introduces it to the wizard folk in Acton. The old man and I aren't related.”
*A short pause occurs, then Tabitha continues, her answer. *
“As for classes, I guess I’m looking forward to all of them. I’ve never read much about magic, and my parents would rarely perform spells, so it’s fascinating for me.”
“...I sound like a Muggle!” *Tabitha added with a smile, laughing a little to herself.*
Cassie knitted her eyebrow. "Are you?...” *Tabitha became a bit tense at the sudden change of tone.*
"I mean are you half, pure or you know..." Their voice trailed off.
“Oh, my Bloodline..”
*Tabitha looks up in contemplation. It took her some time to recall, since she only found out recently in a letter from her father.*
At the time she did, she didn’t know what it meant, but her mother took the time to explain it to her. Tabitha has never interacted with her Grandparents, but according to her mom, they were very strict people, who were quite stubborn about marriage.
*She remembers the phrase her mother exclaimed, that “If I hadn’t met your father, I might’ve never been allowed to get married! It’s ridiculous..” Tabitha couldn’t imagine the amount of pressure her parent’s must’ve withstood.*
*She realizes that she’s lost in her thoughts again and quickly refocuses her attention to Cassie.*
“ I.. I believe I’m a pureblood, at least that’s what my Father told me.”
*It takes Tabitha a minute to remind herself to clarify,*
“I’m not Bias though! My mum is quite fond of muggles and the like.. Not sure about father.. He never talked about it.”
*Tabitha hopes fervently that she didn’t leave a bad impression.* She adds;
“I haven’t met one before myself, but they don’t seem like bad people or anything...”
*Tabitha frowns a little. She read a history book once that noted the sense of supremacy a lot of purebloods have. It bothered her, and she convinced herself that she’d avoid people who identified as purebloods.. Until she found out that she was one herself.*

"SLYTHERIN!"Interactions: @Tabitha Caldwell and @Cassandra Ironwoods • Happy to interact with anyone!
The Sorting hat cried, making Genevieve's smile grow even more. She had been grinning from ear to ear since she had gotten to Hogwarts. She was a bit surprised but she rolled with it, the sorting hat was never wrong, so why doubt it? She hoped she would make friends and learn tons of fun things regardless of where she was sorted. In an amazing place like Hogwarts, how could she not? Even though she was a pure-blood and grew up surrounded by magic, she was still in aw of Hogwarts and all its wonder. She had stories of it ever since she was a kid, but seeing it was an entirely different beast.
As she made her way to Slytherin table, Genevieve noticed two brown-haired girls talking. They seemed like a nice enough lot, so she decided to barge in. She was to excited to consider they might not want anyone else in their conversation.
"Hello! You guys are both Slytherins, right? I just got sorted to Slytherin!"Genevieve quickly checked the banners and confirmed it was indeed Slytherin's table. "This is so exciting! Are you guys both first years too? What are you most excited about? I can't decide if I am most looking forward to potions class or herbology, but I'm sure all of it will be super interesting!" Genevieve paused for a moment, realizing she was probably speaking way too much and way too fast. "Um... but yeah, anyway... I'm Genevieve, Genevieve Watkins. It's nice to meet you guys!" She was still smiling from ear to ear but tried to keep it down to "normal" levels. Whatever that was.
