Jade picked at her food absently. She had piled on beef, potatoes and even a few vegetables... She looked up and down the Slytherin table and took note of the way they all talked in hushed, secretive voices. It was unnerving, in a way. Great... I've been landed with paranoia-crazed idiots... She blinked. Wait, they're not idiots... where the hell did that come from? She sat in silence... Forget this... I don't even have any friends in my house yet... Besides, it's not like sitting anywhere else is against the rules! She shook her head and, being infinitely discreet, hurried around to the Griffendor table and sat next to Flynn; grateful for the existent space. She wasn't even aware that she had just used magic subconsciously to make sure that everyone's attention was diverted from her for the brief handful of seconds that it took her to make the move... "Um... Do you mind if I sit here, Flynn? I mean... no one over there seems too friendly..." She asked, mentally slapping herself for sounding so nervous.
