General The Hufflepuff Table 2018-2019

During the course of the leave of the incredibly ill tempered Kent, Elena watched as two more people sat near them, a boy who seemed to have been listening on in the conversation and most likely wanted to know why in the world that her friend Verla, would even like a boy like Kent, who Elena believed would be starting a lot of ruckus with some people at the school. The boy seemed like he wanted to join in the conversation but only let out a "meh". The other was a girl with blonde hair who sat down at the time of when Verla let out the most school girly giggle, which made a few more boys from a few more different tables look at the two. This girl seemed a bit pretentious from what Elena had briefly saw. This girl set down some packages and drank tea in a way that reminded the girl of their neighbour Ms.Fields, who even though lived in a residential area, remained calm but ill tempered and incredibly posh for a woman in her late 30's. Elena wanted to talk to this girl but it seemed like a slightly bad idea. She looked over at her "Oh, hi, um I'm Elena,". She said at such a quiet tone that she thought Verla wouldn't have even heard.

He looked over at the two girls and was trying to figure out which had said it. Miko could tell by how Dorothy came over that she very much had an attitude. Figuring it was Elena who'd said it he scribbled down a few more words Elena is a bit shy but does start the conversation, nothing I could do anyways. is what he wrote.

"Hello! The name's Miko, Miko Limof that is. he said, with his accent he figured none of them would be able understand him but socializing was worth a shot. Miko was a talkative boy but would never have the guts to starts a conversation. Once someone else said "Hi", that was enough for him to start asking them loads of questions. He'd been getting better with this you know containing his questions and all and just listened now.

"Sorry if I'm a real pain for asking but what is your blood status currently? Not that it really matters I'm just a curious lad." Miko questioned. Whoops...there goes one question I do hope she doesn't get offended. I'm not all too good at not asking anything. he thought shortly after he uttered the question.

"In case you were wondering, which you probably weren't, I'm a pureblood."

The boy that had sat down finally spoke "Hello! The name's Miko, Miko Limof that is." his accent screamed Scottish and it was a bit hard to understand him, but then again her cousin was Irish, so figuring out what he wanted to say was hopefully not going to be too hard. "Sorry if I'm a real pain for asking but what is your blood status currently? Not that it really matters I'm just a curious lad." Elena sat back a little and made a confused like face, this guy just wanted to get right to the point, she guessed. "In case you were wondering, which you probably weren't, I'm a pureblood.". Dang, this guy just wanted to get to the point it seemed. "Well, I'm Elena Burkley, but you probably knew that," she said looking the guy suspiciously up and down. "Verla over here is a half blood, like me, and cool that your a pure blood, my cousin who actually doesn't know I'm here yet is a muggle," Elena said she couldn't believe she was just rambling on like that, but if this guy was already listening, what the point was she wouldn't have known. "Also, I admire the fact that you just skipped everything else and got straight to the point," Elena said pointing at him. She did admire the fact he actually answered to her first, even when she was trying to talk to another girl. Even though this guy was a bit hard to understand that most likely wouldn't stop her from making another friend here today. Especially if this guy hopefully didn't have a temper.

Verla giggled slightly, when Elena spoke to Miko. She smiled at Miko, glad to see him again and know he was here than guessing he went home. "Elena, I don't know who the guy at the Gryffindor table is, but I see fine in all boys. So judge me all you want. And you mister." She turned to Kent "are damn right I'm annoying, it's one of my many flaws, including snitching. So please piss me off, I dare you." Verla said in a low voice. She shook her head, she wasn't about to change into someone she wasn't. But Kent made her so angry, she hoped he'd get kicked into Slytherin. Though the sorting hat is never wrong. 

Verla then suddenly went sad, and went into her own shell. She was suddenly reminded of letting Oliver go, which she still had to do since it was against the rules. 

She figured Kent would bully her, but she'd stand up for herself, or just plain leave. He made her angry, she'd never sworn in her life! She was surprised when the words escaped her mouth before she could even think, perhaps someone was hexing her. Maybe they weren't, what ever it was, it was definitely changing her.

Arriving to the Hufflepuff table I was unsure of where on earth to sit. So many people, so much time, not many seats...how odd. I walked slowly and cautiously down the line of happy energetic people until I spotted a familiar red head. It was Verla! Lucien's friend, and the only other Hufflepuff that I knew. Hurring along the stone floor happily my feet pitter pattered along echoing a slight bit as I ran, with the mix of laughter and chatter form the other tables. "Verla!" I yelled excitedly running over towards her not paying attention to the fact Verla was speaking with other people. The yell caused a few to turn around and glare at me for being so loud, but I didn't care, normally I wasn't so loud but I needed to see someone I knew.

"Hi Verla! It's me, Ayleid, if you rememebr me, I assume you would but who knows! Would it be alright if I sat with you? I don't know anyone else." I chatted a bit off topic at the start. I wasn't even sure if Verla liked me but it was worth a shot! We had two things in common so far. Lucien, and Hufflepuff. That was a good enough start, or so I hoped.

Verla heard a girl call her name, she turned from Kent and saw Ayleid running toward her. It was that friend of Lu's. Verla giggled when she called him that. And the thought of it made her giggle again. She smiled brightly "Of course I remember you! Hard to forget one of Lu's friends! How are you? And of course you can sit with me, I don't mind." She completely forgot about Kent, and turned back to him and waited for his reaction. 

She figured he'd yell and scream at her, if he did, if he said hurtful things, she'd probably just slap him or something she would never do.

If he did the opposite and completely ignore her, she'd smiled with victory on her face and sit down with Ayleid. Then she'd explain to Ayleid who Kent was and how hot-headed he was. She really had no idea how she could ever think a guy like him could make friends with Elena at least. Or anybody for that matter. But nothing was impossible. Though she wanted to fix how they met, and wished she could restart, but it was too late. Hurt words were already said. The damage was done.

Without hesitating I sat down happily smiling. "Thank you, and I'm doing quite well!" This was my chance to meet Verla's friend, or at least I think they were her friends. Without knowing what had previously happened I smiled at Kent, Elena, and Miko. I extended a hand across the table in case anyone wanted a formal handshake.

"I apologize for the loud interruption, I'm Ayleid Sylvari. Normally I'm not so loud so I once again apologize for that. Pleasure to meet all of you!" I smiled a nervous smile which was a bit visible. I hoped they wouldn't turn out like my other family members that were around my age. They often made fun of me for my bad eye sight, and the fact that I was an albino.

If anything bad happen, I could defend myself. But after all this wasn't Slytherin, I most likely wouldn't have to deal with pure-blood politics. I had avoided that enough in my own household, I wanted to avoid it as much as possible here. Funny that I wish I could avoid it when I made friends with the Escanora's in hope to make my family proud or have allies if they were ever needed. One of the most political families that I should have wanted to avoid but instead I did the opposite and befriended them.

"Oh! Quite lovely, someone new! I'm Miko, nice to meet ya." he said, shaking the girls hand. "Say, are you albino or just really really blonde? In either of the cases you seem like a respectable new Hufflepuff!" Miko blurted out. Yes, it was very true that he did skip past loads but hopefully it wouldn't bother any others.

"Anyways, back to the point. What's your favorite magical creature?"

The boy was eager to meet another new Hufflepuff speaking as he only knew two at the moment. For him, just talking to someone was a big step forwards since Miko preferred to be alone most the time. In fact, he was rather excited to be meeting new people. Miko realized that he should probably try to slow down and let her answer before he asked more questions but how could he do that with all those thoughts rushing through his mind?

Miko smiled brightly at Ayleid as if she was an old friend of his. Clearly she was a bit nervous to be around us after all, Miko was a complete stranger. But since she was part of the Hufflepuff family he wanted to make her feel welcome and less nervous.

Elena was quietly sitting at the table when Verla noted how she could judge her all she wanted, even though she wouldn't have, and how Kent was being a bit of a bully. She knew sometimes she could over express herself with her words so she didn't want to say anything that would hurt her newer friends. Shortly after Kent's leaving, the two met a pretty nice kid named Miko Limof, even though was Scottish and was kind of a bit hard to understand. Then another mystery girl had came to the table and Elena tried to talk to her. After this a girl named Ayleid Sylvari came up to the table and she seemed like she knew Verla through a kid named Lu. Quickly Miko asked her if she was very blonde or albino and that it didn't stop her from being a respectable Hufflepuff and he even asked what her favorite Magical Creature was. "Oh, Hi I'm Elena, nice to meet you too, and yeah what is your favorite magical creature?" She asked curious as to what the girls response would be. Elena turned to Verla "I won't judge you at all for who you like, it's for sure not who I am," Elena said in a calm and sweet tone.

Mibs entered the Hall, her eyes going wide at the sheer size of everything. She turned on her heel, taking in everything. The chatter of people and the scraping of plates filled her ears and floating candles sprawled aimlessly around filled the area with light. The enchanted ceiling caught the beauty of the sky, a stunning blue with little cottony clouds. She smiled brightly, clutching her drawing pad to her chest and walking over to the Hufflepuff table.

She noticed that the Hufflepuffs seemed a bit more welcoming and friendly compared to the other tables. Not surprising, she mused to herself, allowing a small giggle. She slid into an empty spot on the bench, noticing that the seating was worn smooth with time. Mibs set her drawing pad on the table, taking a minute to see who was near her.

She didn't recognize any of the faces around her, but that was probably because she didn't know anyone. Not yet, anyways. She stared at the food on the table, her mouth dropping open in awe. So many different kinds of food stood piled on plates, dumped on platters, and dropped in bowls. Rolls piled high in stacks and vegetables were steaming. And, she noticed with glee, there were more than a few teapots.

Before even taking anything to eat, Mibs leaned over to pull three different teapots towards her. She sniffed them, identifying orange, black, and green tea. Orange was definitely a no, and she didn't feel like any green tea, so black it was. She poured herself a goblet of the hot liquid, the steam rising in her face. Her glasses fogged up, and she set the teapot down so she could wipe them clean with her robe.

After selecting a nice meal of fish, brussel sprouts and probably too many pastries, she greeted her fellow Hufflepuffs. "Hello, everyone!"
