[u][i][b]IN THE WAITING ROOM[/b][/i][/u]

[b][i]Moirah [/i][/b]stammered when Julius approached and asked the question: "I... I'm a Slytherin too!" Her eyes were wide behind her thick glasses, she looked both astounded and uncertain. She would be in the same house as her most recent set of antagonists. Was she doomed to be picked on by her peers the rest of her school days? She would not be alone though, Julius, who had punched a popular Slytherin in the gut was now sorted into the house as well! She would make sure to keep close to him. He could stand up to the bullies, unlike herself.

[b][i]Caelum [/i][/b] kept to herself on the outskirts of the room. She slowly walked toward where professor Quinn stood. "P-professor... I... I don't think I should be here I didn't really do anything..."

The teacher gave Caelum a pitiful look. "You did nothing? Is that why your knuckles are bruised?" 

Caelum stuffed her hands into her robes, it was true, her knuckles were red and pink, some beginning to turn purple. "That... but that was..."

"Enough, take responsibility for your mistakes. Excuse me." The professor broke away from Caelum and disappeared from the room, perhaps to go fetch the professor.

She was uncertain for a moment, then spotted Chandler and Nolan. She walked toward them and spoke quietly upon her arrival.

"Are you guys okay? I don't even understand what happened..."

Sitting next to Layla Ginlio was a second year boy who decided to butt into the conversation. "There are tons of enchantments that limit the students here at Hogwarts! In the name of security we have been forced to surrender our freedoms! Imagine how much time we could save if we could [i]apparate[/i] between classes! And why interfere with our electronics? Just because we are  wizards doesn't mean we should be cut off from muggles! I am drafting a petition to allow the use of cellular phones on school grounds. Would you like to sign it?"
