Welcome to Gaia! ::

Even with the boy's cold air Nell still gave a soft smile when sitting next to him. She had seen him before they were sorted, he had been the one talking about Slytherin and muggleborns and all the rest. He wasn't exactly the reason she didn't want to go into that House, but rather his attitude that made her wary. But, like her Mum was always trying to teach her children, one can't only judge by just one encounter. So, non-judgmentally, she assumed he was a pureblood that was learned in the old customs, meaning he would probably react positively if she too acted in the old customs. While she was never excited about her etiquette lessons she was happy she had had them. Turning ever so slightly to face him, Nell held out her hand while giving a dimmer politer smile. "Excuse me, I'm afraid we haven't met. My name is Chantale Ellis, of the Scotland Ellis', what is your name?"

"Pretty brilliantly, actually. I've been spending a lot of time in the common room practicing magic... but I sure do miss listening to music- especially muggle music-" she smiled wistfully, a charming glaze clouded her lilac eyes. But it only took a moment before she fell back down to earth and explained. "Electronics react real funny around magic, that's why everything you see here is torches, and candles. Light bulbs don't really work here..." Cersei shrugged, tapping a red nail against her lip. "Not really sure why..."

After a small laugh, she shook her head, amber hair swaying freely. " I'm sorry, I tend to ramble a lot... heeheh."

James walked into class, a little late, hoping the professor wouldn't notice. She had gotten lost on her way to the classroom and nearly panicked when she realized the time. She quietly snuck in and sat next to Dhyl, the only person she really knew that was there.

Tobyn entered the class a bit sluggishly. This was going to be a long one. Honestly, this had to be the worst class. He couldn't fathom why any of this mattered since it had happened Merlin knows how long ago. Sighing quietly he rest his head in his hand and let his mind began to wander off on other subjects.

Nell merely politely nodded to his introduction while rapidly going through the list of pureblood names looking for his own to stick out. She eventually remembered his family's name and their more "elitist" style of dealing with things and feeling a bit awkward about talking to him. She didn't automatically assume he felt the same way as his parents (although the way he sneered at her certainly made her wonder) and felt that she should at least be kind to him since they would be spending the next seven years together. That thought in mind, Nell dug into her book bag to pull out several sheets of neat parchment and along with her quill and ink well ready to take any notes the professor might offer.

Twirling a lock of amber around her finger, Cersei brandished a quick smile before directing her attention to the professor. The students around her still seemed to be chatting on, and, deciding that the professor seemed generous enough to not take away house points, she decidedly veered her attention to her housemate beside her. ”What kind of music do you like?” She wondered with a curious tilt of her head, lilac eyes sparkling with excitement, even within a classroom that dealt with such boring logistics. At least, she shared in this boredom with all of her friends around her.
