(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7utESDMrVfc)<br/><strong>TAGGING:</strong>Loveday Marley (Red), Elenore Ryn (RubySlippers), Darcy Fredricksen (Jaded), Hikaru Matsukoto (LQ) -OPEN-<br/><hr/><br/>Loveday's comment about what the other houses could grow was taken wrong by the American girl, "Maybe I can help them? The Gryffindors, I mean. There are a lot of hot air climate plants that can be grown. Magical or otherwise..." her voice was low as she sort of drifted off in thought for a moment. At least till Elenore talked and mentioned being engaged.<br/><br/>It wasn't her being engaged to a Ravenclaw that was surprising, mostly because she didn't know exactly what that meant. But what did get to was the fact that this girl was supposed to be a first year like herself. How could someone be engaged at that age? How different was the culture here that someone would be okay with announcing their impending marriage when they were barely into their mid-teenage years? It was as far beyond Addy's comprehension as the girl's mention of refusing to use a wand if it could be used to harm someone. Addy was tempted to bring up the fact that anything and everything could harm someone. Water could harm people. Air could harm people. There wasn't anything in existance that couldn't harm someone. But she managed to remain composed and just brush off what she felt was ignorance and simply agree with Loveday about marriage being rubbish. It was never Addy's place to judge someone for their status or beliefs, even if she didn't agree with them.<br/><br/>She was thankful for the change of subject to something called quidditch. It took her a moment to remember that was the sport over here, "Not really, but I've never seen a match. We have Quodpot in America. The goal is to get the Quod into the pot at the other end of the field and into the solution that will stop it from exploding. The other team tries to get it in the pot on their end of the field to do the same. Last year, Sebastian Everic lost three fingers because he didn't drop it in the pot in time. It was really sad, cause he's usually so good at it. I lost fifty Dragots and a sprink on that game because of that. Is Quidditch anything like Quodpot?"<br/><br/>When Hikaru came over and kissed Loveday's hand, she rolled her eyes a little. She didn't understand people doing things like that. Even the other new girl, Darcy, seemed to have sweet eyes for this guy. Instead, she looked back at the cup of Butterbeer and decided to try a bit of it. It wasn't bad. Much sweeter than she preferred, but not bad.<br/>Feeling the conversation slipping away from her as people seemed more excited about everything than she was, Addy just poked at the food in front of her. She knew this wasn't like herself. She was usually the loud one or the one to get excited about things. Addy just wasn't feeling it though. She knew it would just take time for her to get comfortable. She never realized how closed off and sheltered she'd been before moving here. She'd spent her whole life surrounded by the same people. Addy knew she might be feeling the same even if she had gone to Ilvermorny, because it would have been just as jarring an experience.<br/><br/>The headmaster started to speak and she tried to pay attention, but she kept her eyes down on the table. Was this almost over? She wanted to find her trunk and make sure it was okay.
