Gryffindor tower:
Li walked in her common room. It was quite full with all the students. Most of them had fear in their eyes. She pushed her way threw a group of second years and took a seat on a cusion near the fire.She watched the students chatter in whisper voices as they waited patienly for some news.
Ravenclaw Common Room:
Sonia sat in a chair in the far corner. She was busy writing her parents. She had to be careful of what to say and how to say it. She also had to make sure all her grammar and punctuation was perfect. She sighed when finished. Thanking Rowena Ravenclaw she put the letter in her bag and looked around the room at the other students.

He sighed softly as he rested on the love seat. It's threads were silk, and made plump by sheets of cutton. The designs were intricate, they were blue and white swans mingling among each other with a black background.
With his head moving over the backrest, he blinked a few times and found one of the students, one he saw in the great hall before. Quickly, he snapped his head forward, and was growing red, with his cheeks and ears warming up. He was always tense in social situations, but he was rather bored.
With his head turning slowly, he turned to her and smiled a bit as he waved his hand in an arc, "Hi."
Ravenclaw Common Room:
Sonia smiled. She didn't like having the back of the love seat in the way when she spoke, so she walked over to the loveseat and sat beside the shy boy. "Hello." she said. Her hands were folded in her lap and she sat back straight and shoulders back. Her posture was perfect. "My name's Sonia, what's yours?" she asked.
Blinked as she approached him, his heart was racing, pumping more blood around his body. With his cheek much red, as well as his ears, he slowly moved back to the other edge of the seat, slipping across the silky cushion. He gulped slowly as he reached the other end of the loveseat, one hand on the back rest, and one holding tightly at the fringes of the seat. He was taller and larger than the average kid, he was indeed bigger than most of the students, and the Ravenclaw team couldn't wait for him to be a second year, though some have already been trying to persuade the house proffessor to put him early into the team.
"Hhhhi," he said nervously with his voice slowly fading.
It took him a few minutes before he could respond to her question. His mind was wandering elsewhere due to his extreme shyness. He was getting too nervous to think, or even speak now since she was sitting close to him, and just merely responded by a positive nod.
He gazed into her eyes as she looked at him, and just looked down. But looked up again, and got nervous since she was still looking at him and just looked elsewhere as he responded vocally, "O-o-o-o-ocean, Ocean Oliver."

His eyes slowly moved back up, and looked at her as she looked away. But he felt like he was taking a chance, as if he gaze was dangerous, his eyes again slowly moved downwards. He was still tense as he sat there his hands holding to the seat tightly.
"Hogwarts is nice... never seen a place like it before... well maybe I did... but all I saw were ruins..."
