EDIT
"Well accually I think it was Fisch who wanted to say something." The cats head poked up from under the table at hearing his name but went back to sleep in to time. Tomas could tell something was going on. "You said, your family. Is everything alright?" He asked, as more students from all the houses thined out of the great hall.

Brandy looked back down to the table. The attention was on her again. geez this was a uncomfortable day. "Everything is fine. Why? Dont you think of your family from time to time." She didnt understand why the boy had thought her lie odd and why he was asking questions. She didnt like it.

"Sometimes, not much to think about though. I'm an only child to a muggle family. Dad's in the military, Mum, well, she just follows Dad around. When not in school, I live at our permanent home, while my parents chase Dad's career." Tomas could feel the apprehension in the air and thought it best to make an exit. He would attempt to extend another kindness before he left. "I meant no intrusion. I was mearly trying to get acquanted with a new classmate." He smiled, "I'm heading to the common room to see how it stacks against Durmstrangs. Would you like to join me? You'll have to go to your dorm eventually." He waited for a reply, but the annoyance on her face previewed a possible outcome.

It was very nice of him to offer her company but she could only imagine the number of questions. It was only the first day she didnt want to make a fool of herself or draw to much attention. "I-I think I'll just stay here." she stammered. Her eyes went back to the paper she'd been scrawling on ana the table underneath. She could already tell, fear was going to ruin her having friends at this school.

Ravenclaw Common Room  "Alright then." Tomas turned, Fisch perched casualy on his left shoulder. He gave a slight wave as he headed towards the exit. "See you around, I'm sure."
The Ravenclaw common room was in one of the castle's towers. It was wide and circular with a tight spiral staircase leading to it. It had graceful arched windows. Tomas took note of the blue and bronze silks hanging from the walls. The domed ceiling was painted with stars, which were echoed in the midnight-blue carpet. Tables, chairs, and bookcases covered the expanse of the floor, and a white-marble statue of Rowena Ravenclaw sat next to the door that leads to the dormitories above. Many of the other Ravenclaw students were lounging here and their. They talked about their summer vacations. Trips and family get togethers.
Tomas nodded in approval. He couldn't say for certain that it was better than Durmstrangs but he could see himself being comfortable here. He walked around the room, noting small pieces of decoration he liked. He scanned over the bookshelves quickly to see if anything caught his eye before climbing the boys dormatory stairs. He ran his hand along the stonework walls as he climbed the spiral stair, taking every oppourtunity to look out the many windows. The location was truly breath taking. He could feel the itch already. At his earliest convenience he would have to take a sketch of his new view. He reached the dorm and entered slowly. It was a common set-up multiple bunk-beds were spaced carefully around the room. Each bed having space reserved for a chest of drawers and their trunk. The beds were stripped down but at the foot of each bunk layed a set of blue and bronze bed clothes. He recognized his bed immediatly from the petbed/scratch post he kept for Fisch and his easel proped up by his drawer. As he approached his bunk, the cat hopped off onto one of the other top bunks. He prowled around exploring the tight areas around room and generally making himself comfortable. Tomas sat on the bed and let out a sigh. He finally had a moment to relax in silence. He knew it wouldn't last long though. He was sharing a dorm with twenty other students.

NOTE: I changed the year to 4th for the simple fact....that I want to do the Yule ball XD just so you know, and just in case, the Twins are three years ahead of the main crew, hence their last year
"We're 7th years" Fred grinned, settling down now that they had gotten her attention on them. George smiled "Are you a 4th year Arabeth?" They seemed genuinely curious about her. Both handsome with semi-pale yet sunkissed skin from playing quidditch, flaming red hair, light freckles and blue eyes. They grinned broadly, awaiting a form of answer from the girl.
Hermione soaked it all up "I thought there was a difference, not many of the books here go into magic practiced elsewhere, its good to have someone whose knowledgeable about other magic" She nodded her approval.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Niyne was sitting in the common room, having left the table after petting Fisch. The noise was starting to give him a headache and it was noticeably quieter in the common room. He figured the others would come up eventualy he just didnt know when. Hearing the portrait open he looked up, spotting Tomas "Fancy meeting you here..." He smirked lightly, closing his eyes again as he sat in the chair in front of the fireplace.

"Yeah... The books tend not to... One of the benefits of traveling around I suppose.." Alister said absently, petting Angel for a few more moments, before lifting his arm and flinging it up, giving her a boost as she took off, Hooing her good bye.
Alister looked at the letter for a moment, before opening it, readign through the page and a half quickly before pocketing the note. "If you'd like to know anything else, just let me know... Maybe i can teach you some spells...?"

"Yes." Arabeth smiled out of the corner of her mouth. "So what do you do for fun?." She asked nervously, pulling her hair behind her left ear.

Ravenclaw Common Room Tomas stretched widely before reaching in his trunk for a sketchpad. It was worn and nearly full of drawings already. He then grabbed his quill and slid it into the cover. With book under his arm he headed back down to the common room.
He looked around, he didn't see any difference in the denisity of students but he didn't mind. He walked over to the fire and plopped himself into an armchair. The lavender eyed boy from before was sitting in the other chair closest to the fire. His eyes were closed. Tomas couldn't tell if he was sleeping for just resting his eyes. Either way Tomas wouldn't disturb him. Tomas chewed on the inside of his cheek. An interesting oppourtunity presented itself. A sleep or not, he was still enough for Tomas to make a sketch. He felt an itch to paint a portrait for this boys unique eyes. If he took a sketch now, he could use his imagination and observation to get the color and details for the eyes later.
He looked around the room quickly before whipping out his quill and pad. He took a quick study of a figure sitting in an armchair before working on fleshing out the specifics of the boy, from the shape of his face and hair to the way his robes flowed with the chair. He was truly enjoying himself. When it came to art, Tomas was forced to paint landscapes and his cat. He had done so hundreds of times. A portrait of another person was a rare and inviting idea. He just hoped that the boy didn't wake to find Tomas drawing him because the reaction could run the gambit from flattery to intrusion and Tomas wasnt sure if he'd be able to explain himself sufficiently.

When Brandy was done writing she dated and signed the poem she'd been working on. Her eyes finally left the paper to survey her surroundings. The hall was almost completely empty. She might as well go check out her bunk. She gave a nodd to Luna as she gathered her things to leave. "It was very nice to meet you Luna, perhaps we could take again sometime." she still sounded very fragile but was getting more and more comfortable with this new place.

 Meg Somewhere hopelessly lost in the halls... "Oh, I knew I should have asked for a map,"Meg was lost, again. She always seemed to get lost in every place she went to, from shopping malls, to the Starbucks around the corner, she always managed to get hopelessly, lost. Unlike the other students, Meg was not familiar with magical paintings and the like. Sure her teacher had assigned a unit on them, but she had never really seen one. "Hopeless child, its the fifth corridor on your left," the painting that had spoken was of some old and rather angry looking wizard, he didn't seem to happy to see Meg not that she noticed. "Oh, thank you sir," she looked around unaware it was the painting that had spoken to her. She ran off down the corridor and disappeared. "I said left you dolt," the painting yelled. Megs voiced rang out from the corridor she had just entered, "I thought this was left?" The wizard yelled again, even more annoyed at her incompetence, "your other left." Meg ran by quickly shouting, "Thank you!" The man rubbed his temples mumbling, "I swear this school is getting more idiots every year."
Meg started running down the stair cases, blissfully unaware that they were moving under her feet, her eyes were glued to her watch. "Oh, why am I always late, they probably already introduced the exchange students by now." She kept running down the halls several paintings telling her to stop running which she replied with several, apologies that were lost as she sped down the halls. When she came to the pair of giant doors that led to the Great hall a furry streak caught her eye. She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned her head. Sitting on a statue looking directly at her was a Marten. It was an American Marten to be exact and it looked straight at Meg and then sped off. She immediately chased after it. "Martin," she called trying to coax it over to her. Instead it ran around her causing both of them to chase each other in a circle. As luck would have it the Doors to the Great Hall opened, the Marten, named Martin, saw his chance and leaped towards the doors. "Oh no ya don't!" Meg grabbed the furry creature landing right on top of another student. Oblivious to this fact Meg just squeezed the living daylights out of the animal and said, "Oh Marty, I missed ya, you little rascal!" She then pecked it on its nose, the poor creature looked terribly annoyed but not uncomfortable, in fact he seemed to enjoy being squeezed.

Ravenclaw Common Room Tomas tapped the end of his quill as he finished his sketch. His flipped the book closed and stretched. A truly eventful evening. He walked back up to the dormatory and prepared for bed. Thinking all the while that Hogwarts was everything it was rumored to be. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep. Ravenclaw Common Room
Next Morning Eyes still shut, Tomas awoke trying to scratch an itch on his head. What he found was a handful of feline fur. Fisch had taken it upon himself sleep right about Tomas's head. A habit that had become all too frequent. He brushed the cat aside before shifting out of bed. He dressed quickly and made sure his robes were proper before rushing off to his first class. Potions Potions was one of Tomas's favorite subjects, despite professor Snape's often successful attempts to spoil everyone's mood. He found it almost as relaxing as drawing. He still remembered how excited he was when he successfully drafted a vile of befuddlement draught. He used it to convince his father to allow Tomas to live at home as his parents followed his father's military career. Sooner or later, he'd probably come to his senses but Tomas wasn't concerned. He enjoyed the freedom as it is.
Taking his seat rear the back of the class, he took note of Snape having a somewhat heated disscusion with that Weasly boy. Harry Potter was looking on with a somewhat amused look on his face. If he had to guess, Tomas figured Ron had said something sarcastic. That never fails to send Snape into a frenzy. He flipped open his potions journal and started a log entry for that day. He kept track of each of his classes this way. Reserving a journal for notes, required text references, or just personal thoughts on class events for each class.

Brandy took her things and walked to the commons room. She rushed by everyone, not wanting to have attention drawn to her or a conversation started. She passed through the doorway to the girls dorm and saw her bed. She giggled at the realization that Luna's bed was right beside her's. This was going to be an interesting year. She put Nesrin on his perch, changed into her night clothes, and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning her eyes opened slowly. She was oddly very tired, but She got up anyway.She got ready for class without haste. She had plenty of time.
She walked into potions class and spotted Tomas. Might as well stick around people who are somewhat familiar. she thought to herself. She quietly walked over to a place near him and opened her book. She took note of Prof. Snape's stern conversation with Ron. "So what happened here." she whispered to him.

Tomas nearly jumped from his seat as she sat down. She recoiled from his reaction but relaxed at a following appology from Tomas. "Hard to say for certain. I've just arrived. The red-head appears to have angered the professor. He seems like the sarcastic type." He turned to Brandy with a smile. "How did you find the common room? As good as Beaubatons?"
Note from Captain - no God-modding Pantera, please and thank you.

 Meg Hufflepuff common room After a longand sincere apology to the student who was nearly flattened by her, Meg ran up and down the corridors, finally getting directions from a friendly ghost, as to where her common room was located. She was disappointed that she had been so late, her watch was unsurprisingly set to the wrong timezone. She arrived at her respective common room, and being to tired to really notice the lovely warm tapestries and cozy feeling of the place collapsed on her bunk completely asleep. She was, afterall, still on Pacific Coast time.
Potions
"Oh, why do I have to sleep so much, maybe I need to find a better alarm clock?" Meg was racing down the halls knowing exactly where she was going, for once. She was late for potions, the reason for this is the fact that her four alarm clocks failed to wake her and so Martin had the liberty of landing on her head to wake her up. "Left, then right, down a flight of steps and..." as she rounded the corner she was unaware that the door to potions was right in front of her. She slammed into the door causing it to swing open and her to land with an audible thump onto the floor. As you can imagine this was quite the entrance, and Professor Snape was not happy. The angry teacher turned his gaze from a red haired boy to focus it on Meg. She, of course hardly noticed his glare as she was rubbing her injured skull, "Owie, gosh that hurts more than I thought it would." Her mixture of Texan and Californian accent was blatant and loud. "Miss..." Snape said as he stood over the poor girl who seemed to not have noticed that she was in trouble. With a bright smile she stood up extended her hand an cheerfully said, "Hiya Professor, I'm Megan Elliott." Snape stared at her and spoke harshly and rather rudley, "Well miss Elliott if there is one thing I do not tolerate it is tardiness, ten points from Hufflepuff." Several students in the class groaned, Meg still completely unaware that she had done something wrong, besides being late, sat down in an empty seat and pulled out her notebook. It was, surprisingly, covered in staffs and clefs with complicated music notes and symbols. She flipped through the book until she reached an empty page and sat patiently waiting for Snape to beginNote from Captain - Dont forget, Fira, your a Hufflepuff so you must post in 'orange' please and thank you.
