Breakfast
Elizabeth didn't look up, as she sat at the Slytherin table, and quickly started devouring her breakfast, hoping to get through it as quickly as possible. being the introvert she was, she wasn't quite ready to talk to her fellow Slytherin. it was her hope that she could get to her first class early, and complete her homework while she waited for the rest of her class to arrive. all she could think of while she ate was that the teacher might some house points off if she didn't finish her homework on time. what would the rest of Slytherin think?
finally finished, and was about to stand up, when she realized that her hand still hurt from being crushed under the wait of her school bag. "ow." she groaned, clenching her teeth. she was still trying to figure out how she could have ever done something so stupid. her one nail had become a black color, and to do anything with it was most painful to her.
"done already?" said someone. Elizabeth froze. it was just a ghost, but she felt embarrassed to want to run already, while they were only halfway through breakfast.
"er-- no... i just um... wanted to get more orange juice." she said picking up her empty glass.
the ghost only raised an eyebrow. "i'm sure that if you wait long enough, your cup will refill itself," they said confused.
"er... right. forgot about that." Elizabeth sitting back down and sighing. forget that plan, then, she thought to herself staring at her lap.

Breakfast
Cyprian had joined late, and he was lost. Having been homeschooled most of his life in history and important families, he wasn't used to the number of people and places Hogwarts had, and he wasn't settling in well to school life. He had tried to figure things out on his own but decided it would be less embarrassing to ask for help from someone of his house than to be late to his first classes.
He could use help, not only with finding his way around, but also with the different aspects of Hogwarts. He didn't know a thing about Quiddich, and the house point system baffled him. The idea of school groups competing for a house cup was unusual for the homeschooled boy.
A small boy in Slytherin robes sauntered up to Elizabeth. He looked slightly confused but walked confidently. "Hello?" he said, not seeming at all concerned, "Is everything okay over here?" He turned his head, but he didn't wait for an answer before going on, "My name is Cyprian. I'm new here, and I'm a bit lost. This place is huge!" He turned towards her again with a small smile, "Any chance you could help me out?"
