Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elton shrugged and stuffed the last of the food from his plate into his mouth. After finishing chewing he took a long drink of the pumpkin juice. He had no idea how to answer without making her feel bad. "Uh, sure." he finally replied, trying to keep his gaze anywhere but on her face. He imagined she would probably get embarrassed if he caught her crying.

Elton was relieved when she laughed and smiled back at her. "Yeah, seems like my dad is rather absent minded. Thankfully Mum doesn't let him cook all that much."

Elton made a face at Arona's words and shook his head. "Well I guess I'll just have to do my best. Or I'll end up with some crazy tutor. That would just be torture."

Elton laughed with Emma. "Oh it is a good thing. He's terrible as a cook! Always trying to concoct strange things. The last thing he made was a Spaghetti Squash casserole with olives and mushrooms. That was horrible! I don't even know what he used as sauce..it kind of tasted like sweet relish." Elton replied making an utterly disgusted face.

"At least the food here is really good. I shouldn't have to worry about going hungry." he said with a happy smile and began piling some tarts and pastries on his plate. "Yum..lemon custard!" He said as he bit into one of the pastries. A glob of the custard fell out of one side and he caught it with his other hand and licked it off with a happy moan.
"This has to be the best stuff ever!"

Elton was rather glad to hear that he wouldn't be alone in his class. "So then I guess Emma and I will be in the same classes? Well that should be fun. I suppose we will be seeing you in the our Common Room as well? That's a relief. I was afraid that I'd have a hard time making friends."

Elton was pleased to hear that. He grinned at Arona. "Excellent! Should be fun. Don't worry Emma, we'll just have follow the rest of the first years, that won't be too hard. What's so special about the mail coming though?"

While Elton had used an owl before to send mail, he had never used seen any sort of magic letters before. He had no idea what parents would do when they heard good news.

Elton stretched his arms out above his head and yawned slightly. "So when do we get to go off to bed? I'm suddenly feeling extremely tired."

Elton blinked in surprise. She seemed surprised that he had gotten mail by owl before. "Well I have relatives that send mail by owl all the time. My grandmother insists we write her every week as well. She's a bit old fashioned. Oh, okay. That's good to know." He yawned into his hand and laid his head down on his arms.

Elton smiled at Emma's confusion. "Well obviously they go at night. Or twilight.
You sat the whole time on the train? What a waste of time! I was running around checking out everything and everyone I could see. I don't see the point of sitting around on a train. Seems pointless."

Elton smirked at Emma. It was funny how red in the face she became when she was embarrassed. It was also funny how she got really shy and defensive. "Well that tends to happen when you sit still. Oh no, that's not good. You'll have to make up for it tonight." He told her.

Elton shot a smile at Arona. "Oh I'll sleep well tonight. When I sleep I sleep like a log. Okay, have fun. I think I might try to find someone to show us the way to the dorm room."

Then he turned back to Emma. "Uh, should we have asked her what the password was? Cause I think we need to know it to get into the dorm room."

Elton felt a little bad about teasing her, it wasn't that much fun when the girl agreed with you.
"Sorry," He apologized. "I didn't mean to make you feel bad about it."

"Oh, you don't remember hearing about it on the train? Well their are portraits in front of each dorm room that keep other students from other Houses out. So they have a password which can change daily on you. I suppose the older kids remember it better, which is why they help out the younger ones." He explained.

He was a bit awed that Emma had voiced her thoughts and then what she was wanting actually happened. "It sure is, Does it happen often?" He asked with a bright smile. He stood up and downed some more pumpkin juice before following the students that had lined up after the prefect.

Elton frowned slightly. "But if something isn't worth fighting for why even bother living? You've got to have passion about some things in life."

He was forgetting that she had grown up in a muggle family and hadn't heard anything about magic school until she had come here. "I suppose it is. From what my brothers have told me though, the other houses used to get in and pull really bad pranks on the other houses. It got to be an all out war until they had the passwords started up for security reasons."

Elton was rather impressed to hear this. "Ice cream trucks? I didn't know you could get icecream from trucks. My mum usually just has someone go down to the sweet shoppe and buy a gallon. You're lucky to get people to bring it to you."
