(open)
She wasn't much of a social person, keeping her friends to a small group at best. But she was ready to start the year. Missing the beginning of the term didn't bother her much. She learned fast. With a roll of parchment under her left arm and ink and quill in the other she made her way over to an empty table. Grabbing a pillow from the sofa Lum pulled it close to her in her seat.
Her last common room had a heavy gold theme and the change to the Slytherin common room was still adjusting on her. Not that she didn't like it. Just that she was still getting used to it. Afraid to go wandering around the school so close to dark it looked like the common room was it for her.
With the cracks of the fireplace beside her and the hushed murmurs of other students the night promised to be a quiet one.

Reina was in a corner hidden by the shadows watching the firelight flicker off of objects. Reina watched the girl come down from the girl's dorm and move over to a table. Not bothering to get up or expose herself Reina called out to the child.
"You must be new. I know everyone in my house. What is your name?"

Already caught up in her work she was a little startled to hear a voice call out from the shadows. The lighting in the room was dim and it took a moment to spot the girl. Obviously older than I am, Lum thought.
"I'm Lumdailea, though Lum is fine. The common room has been very quiet. I wasn't sure if anyone actually used it."

"Of course we do. Look I'm Reina Anabella Diablo Velez or Reina Diablo. Your sleep-deprived prefect. As such I'm glad you are here. Good! Now that all the civilities are done. You are the alternate for the game tomorrow. Quidditch you do know how to play right? If not that's fine just stay on your broom and out of our way, try to get in the other's team way."
Reina paused for a moment.
"This is not negotiable. Everyone plays til we have enough people to not need Quidditch to be mandatory. Understood?"

Her other school didn't have Quidditch teams but she had played an occasional game. "Just tell me what time to be there. I'm sure I can cause some kind of trouble for the other team." She added with a smirk.
Who knew, maybe she'd actually enjoy it...
"So we're meeting where exactly?"

Reina glanced up and walked over to the girl. More because of her sassy mouth than anything. Reina leaned over her getting a good look at her and judging her talent or what she thought was talent.
"Tomorrow. Quidditch Pitch. Charlie, another prefect and my co-captain, or I will tell you if you are needed. Can you play?"

She wasn't liking how close this girl was getting to her but she would let it go for the moment. Not caring that Reina seemed to be making assumptions about her she sat tall in her seat.
"Of course I can play"

Reina smiled. She liked this second year. She wasn't all squirmy and scary like everyone else also she didn't get too sassy. Reina stood up getting out of the girl's personal space.
"What positions have you played?"

As Reina moved back she felt a little more comfortable. The sparks of the fireplace could clearly be heard as Lum paused to think about her favorite position. It was true she'd only played on pick up games, her previous school had never had official teams.
"I've played chaser and keeper mainly. I don't have a lot of experience playing a beater or a seeker."

Kami hadn't exactly been the most socialiable snake in the house since she had arrived. In fact, she hadn't exactly met anyone from her house just yet and not a lot of people from the other houses. Coming in to the common room from the castle she saw an older girl and a younger girl standing together by one of the tables. They seemed to be the only occupants of the room. Not knowing either she figured she had to start somewhere so, she walked over to the two of them.
"Hello, Kamea Miliani." Kami introduced herself.

Reina took in Lumdailea's answers with a smile. She liked that. She knew where to put the girl. Reina heard a voice and glanced at Kamea.
"So your'e the mysterious firstie. I thought we scared you away. I'm Reina Anabella Diablo Velez or Reina Diablo. I'm also one of your prefects AND quidditch captain. Tomorrow there is a quidditch match and you are also an alternate. That means if we need you to play YOU WILL PLAY. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Do you know how to play the game?"
Reina could do two things at once. Turning back to Lumdaliea Reina smirked.
"Do yo have a nickname?"

Kamea stood unflinching as the older girl raised her voice commanding her to play a game called quidditch. She had never even heard of whatever that was and there was no way she could know how to play it. Though she liked how Reina was in control all the time and demanded what she wanted.
"With an introduction like that you couldn't possibly scare one off. And I've never even heard of the game so that might be a tiny problem to be solved." Kamea replied.

Reina shrugged at the girl's comments.
"Well in spanish my name means Devil Queen or Queen Devil depending on how I want to translate it. Trust me if I wanted to scare you off I would, but we need members so you're to stay. As for quidditch at practice I'll let Charlie show you how to play."
Reina thought about Kamea's name too. She liked Kami's unearthly beauty. She looked deadly and sweet. A perfect combination for later use.
"I'm gonna call you Kami. You both have weird names. Names I won't remember."
Reina turned back to the other girl not really waiting for her answer.
"And you're Dailea, too long, hmmm..."

"Lum." The answer was both to the new girl and to Reina's question. There was no sense in saying it twice. The first year definitely looked a little flustered and was obviously a muggle by the expression she gave them at the mention of Quidditch. With a distaste of anything muggle orientated she returned her focus to the match.
"Who are we beating up tomorrow, Reina?"

"Lum," Reina repeated. "Ravenchumps. Lum and Kami. I like it."
Reina was still focused on the names of the girls. She said it loudly so the house roster would automatically update them with the information.
