Xavier sighed softly and averted his eyes from the girl that had joined a redhead, he was tires and more then ready to fall asleep if he were honest. Soon the sorting began and the hall filled with applause for each first-years sorting, the familiar lull had Xavier fighting the keep his eyes open, the hand that clamped down on his shoulder jerked the silver-haired male from his light daze. 

"Nice seeing you again." The words were accompanied with a sneer, Xavier blinked slowly and slapped the hand away, the group of Gryffindors he'd jinx stood behind him, the hard sky-blue gaze focused completely in him. Ignoring them as the Headmistress begins her greeting, he misses the shared look they focus on one another. They sit on either side of him, the Hall falling silent as the Headmistress announces their new DADA teacher, Xavier joined the mass applause and focused on the sudden -if expected it still brought a small smile to his lips- table of overflowing food items. 

A hiss of pain escaped him as he reached for the closest plate, the wand pressed against his side kept it's steady pulse of electricity flowing through his body. 

"We know it was you. Your the only Gryffindor that defends the filth that are Slytherin." A blonde girl snarled, her pale face distorted into a sneer, Xavier narrowed his eyes and wandlessly aimed a levitation charm towards the girl. Alice's hazel eyes widened as her goblet  lifted and turned towards her, spilling it's contents onto the girls lap and robes. He ignored the noway near-numbness that was spreading through his body as his magic acted on its own, the rest of the Hall continuing to eat. The boys who wand was jamming Hardee and deeper into his side, Darius snarled and then yelped when the bowl of soup before him titled forward and spilled into his lap. The last of the trio, Britney hissed softly and reached forward, Xavier hid a smirk as her hair began to shift from its natural brunette to other colors. 

He was in no mood for idiots. [@Elorwin]
