Great Halls & Grand Friends
With @Onyx Moon and @Rebecca Loops
They weren't messing around when they named the rooms and halls at Hogwarts. The Great Hall was larger than any room Isabelle had ever seen; with house banners waving in a wind that came from somewhere (possibly the enchanted ceiling?), and students crowded into four tables as long as the room. They were split by houses of course, but Isabelle wondered how often the houses melded and mixed at the tables. There was always something happening in the Great Hall; owls screech overhead dropping parcels here and there, Zonko's fireworks exploded near the Gryffindors table, creating clouds of smoke that wafted around the room. The Ravenclaw and Slytherin tables were sat next to each other... this seemed to be the more common pairing, though Isabelle had yet to befriend a Slytherin. The Ravenclaw third-years were discussing a new topic they had learned in divination, and since Isabelle had yet to take that class as a first year she decided to depart the Great Hall for the time being.
The entrance to the Great Hall was just as grand as the room itself; intricately carved depictions of the four house animals-- Isabelle's attention was quickly grabbed by the eagle-- made a mural that always seemed to have new details in it upon every glance. Isabelle always found herself enraptured by the mural, and today she was so deep in studying the door that she ran right into someone-- a Slytherin with the most striking hair she had ever seen (admittedly making Isabelle self-conscious of her own plain brown locks). Oh no, I'm so sorry! she exclaimed, quickly shuffling to pick up her books that were now strewn around.

"No worries!" I said cackling. Helping Her pick up her things."I'm onyx by the way. You?" I smiled and looked at her after standing up. I waited for a reply as I helped her up after gathering everything. The school was so nice.
BEFORE HAND:
Full of surprises as soon as we walked in, Flags were all over the place so cool. The halls were big and candles where floating around. I already seemed to have friends and enemies. I smiled at myself eagerly stepping to get my house. I got slytherin like I thought but wow...... So pretty.
The walls look as old as time but they are still cool you know. I smiled again when I went to look around. The whole place was covered in old pictures of ladies and men. I have never seen anything like it. It made me feel quite young compared to everything and I should feel because I am 11. Anyway, I started back at the hall when I noticed a woman. She was nice and pretty. I stopped looking and her when she ran into me.
Oh no, I'm so sorry! she exclaimed, that led me to right now standing next to her .

The Slytherin girl--Onyx--let out a loud laugh before helping Isabelle gather her things. No worries! she said, surprising Isabelle, as the laugh Onyx let out made her think she was about to make fun of her, not help her find her things. Onyx introduced herself and smiled, making Isabelle chuckle; it was nice to see someone smile at her with such confidence, a quality her mother loved but her father reprimanded. It's nice to meet you, I'm Isabelle, Ravenclaw. She wasn't sure why she said her house since she was wearing her robes. How did you get your hair like that? Isabelle asked, unable to help herself. I know metamorphics can do that, but I've also seen muggles do it with dyes they buy at convenience stores! This was always something that perplexed Isabelle, even as someone with a muggle mother. Thank you for helping me. I suppose it's no surprise to find a Ravenclaw holding an ungodly stack of books like this huh? She glanced around as people continued to shuffle around them. She was happy to be talking to someone though-- made the experience of falling over much less embarrassing. Isabelle could only hope Onyx wasn't feigning friendship, because if she wasn't, she could tell they would be fast friends!

"Heh well my hair is naturally white but I dyed the other side with black or uhm metamorphics dyed it though. It was no issue. I hate not doing things other people would do for me! Plus it's not that rare to see all of these book's."
I smiled and noticed she was a very kind person almost the opposite of most the kids who have been pushing past us trying to go somewhere.(Perhaps there dorms or lunch maybe even there own specific place....?) I sighed and smiled at her
"So uhm any specific place you're going? Maybe we can walk there together to make sure you don't drop any more books!"
I looked at the people around us all talking and running around there was nothing that you could not hear for where we were standing Everyone was just talking,running and laughing. Quiet annoying i you ask me-Not the having fun part but the screaming-Not that I am being mean or anything just quiet annoying to hear it.
"Besides all that, I think it's best to leave so at least we can here each other for further conversation unless that's not and option"
It seemed as if I was begging her for a friendship but no I was just trying to be nice in my eyes I hope she see it like that.
'Damm this place is a very nice but super loud. I wonder if they have any quiet places....' I sighed and looked at the girl in front of me.
