<div class="floatleft">(http://l.yimg.com/ea/img/-/081218/cast-400x300-rebecca-breeds_14kjjnc.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Aithne Koles<br/><strong>Age/Year:</strong>18, First Year<br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Female<br/><strong>Blood:</strong>Half Blood<br/><strong>Clan:</strong>The Blackburn Clan<br/><strong>Wand: </strong>cedar, 10 inches, unicorn hair<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Lili, Andy, Julian, Emily, and Korol<br/>--------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Aithne watched as the headmaster stood up and clapped his hands for silence and she was shocked to see the goblet disappear back beneath the floor.  She didn’t hear Sapientia whisper from where she was at as her attention once again went to Augustus as he spoke to them.  She knew as he spoke to all of the students as a whole that there was no reason for anyone to be sad about where they were placed and she hoped that Emily would take his words to heart.  Biting back a chuckle seeing how eccentric their new headmaster was she realized just how right her aunts had been before.  The moment he told them that they could eat she watched as all the food appeared before them and like everyone else she started to eat what she put on her plate.<br/><br/>Seeing that her smiles wasn’t doing anything to cheer Emily up and it seemed only to make the other girl look guilty.  That didn’t set well with Aithne making her stop eating as she looked back and forth between her half-eaten plate of food and Emily.  She saw that TK was sitting beside Emily and she wasn’t sure how her shy friend was dealing with it knowing how Emily could be around others.  Aithne felt a lump in her throat wishing she could help her friend and she pushed the rest of her food to the side in silence.  She missed the headmaster walking up with Korol to Emily while she was staring at the table like it held all the answers she wanted.<br/><br/>When Aithne did look back up she frowned seeing Emily surrounded by guys knowing that the other girl would let the shyness over take her.  She wanted to be able to protect her friend from situations like this, especially when she could tell Emily was already upset.  The three seemed to be talking between the group of them and Aithne really hoped with everything she was that Emily was getting more comfortable without her being right there with her.  She sighed softly seeing by the look on Emily’s face and the blush going across her cheeks that the other girl had just said something that embarrassed her.  The worry that was starting to race through her at the situation she saw unfolding in front of her was pushed away when Emily actually smiled like only Aithne had ever seen.<br/><br/>She smiled seeing that Emily was talking again even though she was still blushing Aithne could tell the other girl was slowly, hopefully becoming more comfortable with her surroundings.  Biting back a giggle as Emily stood up quickly making her chair crash to the ground, the giggle stopped in her throat realizing Emily was planning on leaving with Korol.  Aithne watched while Korol led Emily to some of the carvings in the wall and she wondered what they could be talking about until she distracted herself.  Hearing someone speak her name Aithne turned to see the girl that she had decided earlier she didn’t trust and coldness seeped in around her.  As Lili continued speaking though Aithne decided from her words that maybe she should give the other girl a slight chance.<br/><br/>“Yes, I am Aithne.”  She spoke softly the coldness in her voice at a minimum.  “I remember you from outside.”  She confirmed with a slight nod of her head.  “Thank you, I think I will do very nicely in this clan.”  Aithne responded already feeling at home in this clan despite the fact she missed Emil terribly.  She found herself nodding her head again at Lili’s words about meeting the head of her clan officially.  “Yes, I should be at least introducing myself to her correctly.”  Aithne followed along behind Lili and listened politely to the two young women as they talked together unsure really where to get a moment to speak herself.  She bit her lip unsure what to say even if she got the chance to and she suddenly felt shy taking a few steps back from the two.<br/><br/>Aithne didn’t know if Andy had even noticed her or not at the moment and saying a quiet excuse me to Lili sounding a lot like Emily for the first time in her life, she moved away.  She made her way to where Emily and Korol was passing by the table that Julian was at and turned away from looking at him hiding the slight blush on her face.  Finally standing beside Emily, she looked at Korol and Emily and spoke in realizing she could be disturbing something, “I am sorry to interrupt but could I talk to Emily a moment?”
