Petra Vinter<br/>4th year Hufflepuff<br/>New transfer from Durmstrang<br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Hufflepuff</strong></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">John Summerby</div><div class="spoiler_body">Oh! Mister Summerby is my quidditch captain. Or will be, I suppose...He um, didn't seem terribly pleased when I told him I wanted to try out. I thought he'd just assumed I wouldn't be any good (I can't blame him, to tell the truth...) but then I found out he was the Seeker up until now. I suppose I'll just have to work extra hard to prove I deserve the spot!</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Veronica Ravenshire</div><div class="spoiler_body">I haven't had the chance to speak with her much, but I admire her a lot. I don't meet people who are as smart as me often (I...I hope that doesn't sound arrogant...) so it's always nice to have a conversation when I do. She's quite intimidating, particularly since I learned she's Head girl, but seems kind in her own sort of way. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Cameron Joyce</div><div class="spoiler_body">I haven't spoken to Mr Joyce much, and honestly most of the conversation involved him asking questions about my wand. I hadn't realized Rusalka hair cores were so rare here...He seems quite smart, even if he has a somewhat narrow focus, but I admire his dedication. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Miyako Nakashima</div><div class="spoiler_body">I haven't spoken to Miss Nakshima much, but Alex introduced us. He seems to like her, so I'm sure she's quite nice. She...has a pet peacock? That doesn't seem terribly practical, but then an unusual number of students seem to have odd, exotic sort of pets.</div></div><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Slytherin</strong></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lucian Goyle</div><div class="spoiler_body">He...he's rather intimidating, isn't he? I'll admit we didn't have as thorough coverage of the troubles in the UK back home, the news was mostly concerned with Karkaroff and his lot, but I was told about his family on the train. I...I think I'll try and keep my distance.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Valerie O'Reilly</div><div class="spoiler_body">I know...well, basically nothing about Miss O'Reilly. We've had a couple pleasant conversations, but I don't feel like I know her any better now that I did when we bumped into each other on the train. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Niamh Byrne</div><div class="spoiler_body">I didn't think I'd met miss Byrne yet, but um... apparently she was that cute blonde I talked to at breakfast the other day. I'm...not sure why she did that... </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Vidya Ayers</div><div class="spoiler_body">I can't say I know miss Ayers too well. She never seems to be around at big gatherings unless her team is playing quidditch, and I think I saw her fall asleep at the breakfast table once...I've heard she's actually quite smart, but I'm not sure I believe the rumors. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Xavril Robeson</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mr. Robeson is the Head Boy, I'm told, and he seems rather...honorable? I'm not sure how else to describe him...He's in Slytherin, which was a bit worrying, but everyone says he avoids the more...unsavory aspects associated with the house. </div></div><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Gryffindor</strong></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Katrina Ravenshire</div><div class="spoiler_body">Miss Veronica's sister, apparently. The names tipped me off eventually, but it's hard to see the family resemblance unless you look for it. Aside from the fact that they're both really pretty I mean...Oh! U-um, <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">please don't tell anyone I said that</span>...Anyway she...well Miss Veronica warned me to avoid her. She's apparently a bit of a troublemaker, but doesn't strike me as particularly...um...cruel? </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Edgar Crowley</div><div class="spoiler_body">I...um...I might have screamed, just a little, the first time I saw his pet. Apparently it's part kneasle, but I must admit he still makes me nervous. Mr Crowley himself seems rather intimidating as well. He's huge and looks a bit like someone they might have pulled out of the forbidden forest, but I've been assured he's harmless...probably. </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Alexander d'Artagnan VII</div><div class="spoiler_body">Oh! Um...A-Alex...? Alex is...he's quite nice. And um...handsome...He sat with me on the train ride to school and helped me feel a bit more at ease. I like him quite a bit...there was a rumor going around that he has a girlfriend, but he's never mentioned her to me..</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Charlize Renard</div><div class="spoiler_body">Miss Renard is...she's amazingly charismatic. I mean if <em>I </em>feel comfortable around someone I just met that's quite impressive...We had a nice conversation about astronomy, she seemed a bit...concerned for me. I hope I haven't worried her too much. I'm a bit jealous of her hair, I wish I could grow mine that long without it turning into a big red cloud of frizz...</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Stevie 'Steve' Arai </div><div class="spoiler_body">She's...she's quite loud. Funny, and friendly, but...loud. I don't think she <em>means</em> to be intimidating, I'm sure that's all me, but she makes me extra jumpy. I'm a bit jealous of her metamorphic abilities, it's so hard to coordinate colors with bright red hair sometimes...</div></div><br/><br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Ravenclaw</strong></span><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Desiree Elvire Guillory</div><div class="spoiler_body">Miss Giullory has a very nice sense of fashion. Maybe it's because she's French? I can't say know much else about her. Everyone says she's easy to approach, but I haven't managed to work up the nerve yet.</div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Darci Donovan</div><div class="spoiler_body">I haven't spoken with Miss Donovan much. She seems, um, a bit arrogant...and vindictive...and frightening. Not someone I want to cross. Maybe if I just stay in the library no one will notice me... </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Gustav Raubriter</div><div class="spoiler_body">I...I didn't know Gustav was going to be here...I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though, I mean of course I heard about his family's troubles. We um...we had some unpleasant encounters back at Durmstrang. Hogwarts is quite a bit larger, perhaps I can just...avoid him.... </div></div><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> Gabriel Brewer</div><div class="spoiler_body">I've run into Mr. Brewer in the library on a number of occasions, he seems quite focused on his studies. I've never met someone so passionate about the history of magic, and now that I've had a class with Hogwarts' teacher of the subject I'm even more shocked.</div></div>
