Great Hall

"Zel!" Ada, a third year student in the Slytherin house stammered over, holding her books close to her chest, as well as a small little bag clutched in her hands. She looked a lot better than she did a few years ago where apparently people decided to bring the plague of something over to Hogwarts for Ada to catch. She sat down next to her and smiled. "How have you been? Did you have a nice summer?"

Aerea hugged the shadows of the wall, being roughly bumped by a couple seventh year Gryffindors. He kept his head turned down so as to better stare at the floor that moved under his feet while he walked. He had his book on potions with him, the ratty thing full of dog-eared pages and scraps of paper for bookmarks. He just kept shuffling down the hall, and then froze. He thought he had seen his brother, but it was some other Gryffindor. He sighed softly and glanced at his book for a moment. I'll need to tell him eventually, he thought to himself.

Having caught sight of Aerea, Zel waved towards the male Slytherin eagerly. "Come sit with me and Ada, Aerea!" she said as she smiled towards him, moving her books even further aside so that she would be able to make space for Aerea as well. She was always very fond of the younger Slytherin boy, viewing him as a younger sibling of some sort. The fact that both of them had a sibling----well, Zel once had----made it able for her to relate to him even more. "There's still enough space here for all of us, don't worry." she said as she stuffed her bag underneath the table. The smile froze, however, when she saw the boy trying to talk to Ada. "State your business then get out of here." she said coldly, drastically different from the smiling cheerful young girl who was waving towards Aerea. She was very tempted to punch him in the face, but thought that it wouldn't be to proper to use force in front of Ada and Aerea. 

"Well, he should know better than to do something so utterly stupid. As if we would want to be with the likes of his kind." A thin, mocking smile pulled on Zel's face as she looked towards the male. "Shoo, shoo. Go away and find someone in your own house to drool over." she said as she waved her hand in annoyance. "We have more things to worry about than to waste time with you."

"... Geez lady." He glared at her. "Since when did you become the head of Slytherin?" He snapped back at her, obviously trying to push her buttons.
Ada let out a nervous laugh, seeing that this was going to end badly for the poor unfortunate soul who had wandered over here. However something else caught her attention when she heard a choir of squealing, and some minor cursing as a Gryffindor boy had seemed to enter the Great Hall. That boy being Zachiel Fallon, a sixth year student known for having an eye patch that apparently made him more attractive to the ladies. With a sigh, Zachiel slowly walked into the hall and headed over to the Gryffindor table in hopes of finding his best friends. Perhaps they could book it the moment they met up again.

"Nope but dude, we need to get the heck out of here..." Zachiel said, slowly sitting down. "The cult has noticed us already..." He nodded towards the group of girls with wide eyes and scary grins looking towards them. "The moment we get Everhart we are getting out of here. No questions asked. I'm not going to relive the horror that was last year's last day."
What happened was that just as Zachiel had finished packing and bidding goodbye to some of his friends, a huge group of girls attacked him in a fury of sadness. It was pretty awful and he prayed to God or whatever that this event would not repeat.

Sitting at the Ravenclaw table and looking over a huge stack of books, Arael had been telling her sister Candice about what sections of each book for each class mattered so she wouldn't have to pull all-nighters and develop insomnia. Candice stared at the pile of books, looking rather overwhelmed. But she had forgotten that the majority of the books before them were actually her sister's books. "... So many books..." Candice whined a little bit. "Arael you're going to have your head explode."
"Candice, trust me. I can live through this year. A lot of people tell me that." Arael let out a small laugh before ruffling up her sister's hair. "Besides, you have it easy this year."

"Yes we desperately need an invisibility cloak." Zachiel slowly stood up as well, shivering at the glance the cult had shot them. "Good god I feel like we're being watched by wolves..." He winced. "Their gazes pierce into my soul and I can even feel my soul get pierced." He spoke in a whisper. Soon some Gryffindor girls apart of this cult slowly looked up at them with similar glances. He gulped and turned to Aeternus, mouthing: 'Why us?'.

Candice had noticed some girls looking towards the Gryffindor table. She gulped a bit and poked her sister. "Sis... why are these girls giving the Gryffindor table the stare of death?" She asked.
"Well that would be because for some reason they find three of the Gryffindor boys to be quite attractive. So they've formed a cult to worship this ridiculousness." Arael replied, reading one of her newer books she received for this year.

The guy sighed and slumped off, defeated. "What a brat..." He muttered.
"Um... Zel. I could have just outright rejected his offer and it would be fine." She laughed a little bit.

Zach stopped in his tracks hearing a fangirl behind them. He slowly turned and faced Ginny, gulping a little bit. "Umm..." he looked to Aeternus for answers, because if he gave her an autograph, this whole room would explode with girls trying to murder them and basically be a much worse version of last year... which might even have the three end up dying under a pile of girls.

Aeternus looked at the freaky fangirls, then, at Ginny, then at the freaky fangirls, and that's when he saw their murderous glares.
He sighed. "Tell you what," he said to Ginny, looking back at her, keeping his voice low. "After first period class, meet us back here. I'll sign your book. But don't let the Cult catch wind of it, alright?"
At least then they wouldn't be swarmed by the fans, and at least then Ginny would get her autograph without having a hundred jealous girls try to murder her for it. He didn't have favorites per se, but he knew just by watching Everhart's fanclub that some of these girls could be downright treacherous if they thought someone was singled out as best, and Ginny was such an innocent looking girl. Plus, she called him senpai. No one ever called him senpai. It was cute.

Brooklyn yawned lazily as she walked into the Great Hall, she froze at the surprising sight of the massive people inside. What time was it? She didn't care, as long as she got her food. But with hundreds surrounding the table, it wasn't likely she would get past through anyways. As Brooklyn tried her best to squeeze her skinny figure by the screaming girls, she murmured quietly - thinking nobody can hear, "Wow, you're attractive, aren't you?" Whilst rolling her eyes, she mentally sighed at the stupidity of these girls. What? It wasn't like they were going to like a bunch of girls that potentially could murder them. Or maybe they will... Who knows. There are only three things she cared about right this second and none of them concerned the supposedly attractive males standing in the hall. One, where her best friend Gumi could be. Two, food. And three, food.

Aeternus watched her go, then sighed, exasperated, "ugh, great... one slipped through my defenses. But she asked so nicely..." He would just have to bemoan his plight later. "Let's go find Everhart, Zachiel. And maybe an invisibility cloak while we're at it. I think i know where such an item might even be." He had all sorts of plans now.

Aerea thumbed through some pages of his potions book, pulling it open and holding it up to hide his face. Now that he was resolved not to tell Aeternus, he did not want his brother seeing him today. So far, he seemed distracted enough. But Aeternus was a sharp one. If he was looking, he would spot Aerea. Aerea was not that hard to spot where his brother was concerned. He stared at the page he had opened to. A polyjuice potion. How quaint. It was one of the first he learned how to make as a first year.

"Alright... let's scram." Zachiel said, scanning the crowd for Everhart wherever the heck he was. He sighed and then looked over to the Hufflepuff table seeing that Gabriel Clarkson was laughing a bit at them, since fangirls were looking at the two. He glared at Gabriel and continued on.

Ada sighed a bit and looked to Zel. "It seems like the cult has noticed their idols over at the Gryffindor Table." She whispered to her.

"My summer?" Brooklyn's face was unreadable for a second, then she smiled. "Nothing much, just muggle stuff that's really fun and pranking my relatives at a family meeting with my cousin dearest. Didn't get to see my divorced daddy but who reallly cares." She shrugged as she grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into her mouth. The rest of the words was muffled and by the end, Brooklyn was just smiling innocently at Gumi. "So, what do we plan on doing today? Do you have your schedule? Or will we just eat all day and sleep?"

"Holy Merlin! I forgot to tell you I'm a prefect too!" Brooklyn exclaimed excitedly as she chugged down a bottle of orange juice. "I don't see what they see in them, just a plain sag of potatoes in my opinion. Not literally. Oh, you know how I like to compare everything to food! And thus, they are a bunch of potatoes. Old ones even. I can't wait to take points off from those fan girls for disrupting the silence and trafficking the hallway. Preferably not Gryffindor students though. " The newly prefect frowned thinking about it. She shook her head, "Ready to go? I need to walk around a bit to get used to here again."
