Closed At the Feast

[Elio Boneheart]

Elio grinned at Mikael, he was so excited that Rhys was here now and they were going to have a great time as Elio would show him around the castle. "Rhys!" He called to his brother, pointing him out at the end of the Ravenclaw table sitting with the other first years. "Rhys, this is so cool! Just like Bryce!" Elio had never called the man his dad, mostly because he had come into his life a little later than most fathers came into their kids lives. Elio knew Bryce wasn't his real dad, but he was very much treated like a dad, except that he didn't call him a dad, it had just never quite felt right, even if he didn't know anything about his dad. He took a seat next to his brother, forcing some other kids to shuffle up. "Let me see your schedule, what do you have first?" Potions, transfiguration, Astronomy and Herbology, decent first semester. "Ah, Herbology is up first, fair warning the professor for that is useless," he said, shaking his head at the thought of Professor Carter. He glanced over to Eury and frowned. He should have dealt with her better.​

[Rhys Chamberlin]

Rhys Chamberlin hated that he was so much younger than his big brother, but oh well. He looked up through his glasses when he saw Elio coming his head, but faded when he saw the other. He was sitting next to Julian, a boy from his dorm that he had quickly befriended. He adjusted his Ravenclaw tie, since he might have purchased one ahead of time. He knew that he would follow after Bryce and Beau. "What's wrong with Herbology? I mean, the professor?" Rhys cocked his head to the side, since he did not know anything about the professors. Beau told him that the turnover was so bad, that he doubted that they would have any in common. "Elio, why did you have to bring him along? He literally looks like someone stuck a tree limb up his bum all of the time." Rhys, similar to Bryce, was a little bit blunt.

 

[Mikael Nightray]

Mikael did not like surprises. One cannot plan for surprises very well. He could plan for them to a degree but he really had to admit that no one could plan for Theodore. He would have to check with that particular brand of migraine if his parents knew he was here because he was pretty sure Aunt Mikaela would have let his dad know if one of the twins would be coming. Though the fact that Althea wasn't here was already quite telling. And then the other surprise was Julian being here. As far as he knew, Julian was supposed to be attending Hogwarts Scotland like his siblings were. To have him here was both a surprise and not completely unexpected. Laurent's doing. If Mikael was lucky, he was just paranoid. If he wasn't, then Julian was definitely sent to spy on him. He glared at his first year cousin, though, that was quite difficult considering he's sat down at the table on Rhys' other side. He was snapped out of his glaring when Rhys decided to complain about his presence. He raised an eyebrow at the younger boy's description of him. "You'll be surprised -," and a hand comes up to slap his mouth shut, stopping anything else he had to say.​

 

[Julian Nightray]

It was a relief for Julian to be sorted into Ravenclaw, he didn't think he would be let back home if he'd gotten sorted into Gryffindor, or worse, Hufflepuff. Father might just disown him right then and there. It was just unfortunate that the Sorting Hat hadn't let him into Slytherin and made his life so much easier. He would have to figure out a way to get information on Mikael. For now though, he was smiling a little as he got to know the boy sitting beside him - a new friend perhaps. One named Rhys Chamberlin. They hadn't been talking for very long when an older Gryffindor suddenly arrived. With Mikael in tow. Julian's eyes widened as he watched the older Gryffindor just drag his cousin. His cousin who was now glaring at him, making him try to be as small as possible and hide behind Rhys. Judging by the glare, it looked like his cousin already knew why he was here. If it was surprising to see Mikael being dragged, it was even more of a shock to see the Gryffindor just touching the Slytherin. It was common knowledge that most if not all of the children of the Nightray patriarch and matriarch were averse to touch. No one came near them in any gathering or they would be subject to a verbal lashing. And yet, that wasn't the case here. "You know them?" he whispers to Rhys because apparently Rhys knew both the Gryffindor and Mikael.​

 

[Elio Boneheart]

"Well," Elio started, about to launch into the entire sordid story about Eury and the fact she and the Head of House didn't get on, that no one in this school seemed to care what was going on under their noses when Rhy seemed to notice that Elio wasn't alone, noticing Mikael behind him. He was about to jump in to defend Mikael when he quickly slapped his hand over Mikael's mouth, thinking it better that whatever else he was about to stay remain in his head, and not out here in the open where anyone (impressionable young minds for example) could hear it. "Doesn't matter, he's my boyfriend Rhys and you'll just have to get used to him, besides, he's nice, I promise." He wasn't sure why Rhys didn't like him, because they'd never spent any time together, or maybe that was why? Since he didn't know Mikael pretty much at all. He realised there was another boy there and turned to see a red head, that... sorry, was Mikael glaring at this kid? "Oi," he said, smacking Mikael on the chest to get his attention (not hard, but it would be a bit of a shock for Julian probably) "why you are staring at a first year, what's going on? Rhys who's your friend?"​
