[u][i][b]Table Slytherin [/b][/i][/u]

Caelum smiled, charmed by Roy. If she was charmed by the smile or by the prospect of animated artworks she could not quite say. He continued to palaver with his brother and then he was gone back to his table.

She had been worried that she wouldn’t fit in with the wizards, with Nolan and his brother being so nice to her, she now felt much more comfortable at the school. 

The girl with the green scarf approached. Inquiring into the matter of their conflict…

Caelum fumbled with her words. “I… I’m just… I don’t like… Small spaces.” She explained, stuttering just thinking about it. “And someone locked the door… So we were trapped and… the other boy got hurt… No one hurt him really, he just hurt himself now that I think of it, he was trying to get out… I was just… freaked I guess...”

She was red in her cheeks, not sure what else to say. 

“Hufflepuff colors are yellow for a reason.” Someone snickered nearby. Caelum looked around but did not see who had said the words. Her cheeks reddened more. 

Someone else took revenge on her behalf. A pot of fish stew rose up off the table and doused the troublesome quidditch team, and anyone sitting near them, in stinking stew. They all yelled and stood up. There would be no time to change their robes before their next class.

Peeves giggled. “Is your mascot a snake or a fish? I get confused! Both are cold and slimy and stinky!” The poltergeist was invisible now, but his voice rang out with pleasure. Taking full credit for the crime committed.

Caelum couldn’t help but smile at the distress displayed by the fishy-victims.
