Merope made her way nervously to the Slytherin common room. She already had a roommate, so there was a feeling of being wanted that helped in how unsettled she was. Slytherin. She had made it, finally. Hogwarts was so big, bigger than any place she'd ever been before, even when Tom had taken her to the theatre. She would have to try very hard not to get lost.

Stepping into the common room, she looked around for Tom, or even Minerva, who had been so kind to her earlier.

*had been waiting for her, so very glad that his original isn't there as it's not as though she could run very far right now*

Hey. *for lack of a better approach* Did you have any luggage with you?

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

Hi. *slight smile as she walks over to him*

No... I don't have anything, actually. Well... *she rubs the blanket she'd been given* Just this.

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

*looks at the blanket and sighs* You'll get more than that. Here. *takes her hand slowly, nervous to touch her*

I'll bring you up to my room. The others here won't bother you. Severus isn't afraid of taking points off of his own house if it comes to that. *leads her up to his room, opening the door for her* You'll need the usual uniform and a few pairs of regular clothes. I can transfigure them for you. *recalling how Ryuuji had once had to help him in the same manner*

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*hears someone else coming and quickly moves behind Tom, who is bigger and taller than she is*

*recognizes Severus from her sorting and how he voted her into Slytherin - doesn't say anything though*

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

That would be immensely helpful. She just doesn't have much, if anything at all, to fill in the gaps. We can always transfigure a few things. Summon in some random whatnot and change them as well.

*looks behind him* Merope, this is Professor Severus Snape. He teaches Potions here and is the Head of House. He's very loyal. He'll help protect you.

Severus, Merope. I can only assume you know about her due to obvious reasons and the like.

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*slight nod at Severus*

I.. sent you an owl. *speaking very quietly, very timidly, not knowing what Severus is like exactly* I'm eager to join your class if you'll have me.

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

*enters the room* You're welcome in here as well, Professor.

It's not much but it's home. For now. *looks at the illusion of Ginny's whatnot* Pity it's not real. I could've just transfigured it from that.

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

Point there. *wanting to keep her as far away from Muggles as possible considering what happened last time*

Think you could grab up some uniforms for her? I'm sure the House Elves have plenty in stock.

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*enters the room with Tom, eyes widen with the conjuring*

Oh... Thank you.

*very kind smile to Severus*

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*hadn't realized it until just then, but is rather hungry; after all, only had a bit to eat at her sorting*

Please, sir.

*still clinging to Tom's hand*

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

*looks at the clothes and starts floating them to the closet, hates folding anything so they're all hung up*

*not sure what she needs exactly so just..waits*

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

((Hah! Sorry about that - didn't even realize it))

*eyes go wide at the food - never in a million years thought she could do something like that with magic and hopes to learn*

*moves over to the table, finally letting go of Tom's hand as he starts putting her clothes away, and starts to eat - looks at the butterbeer, sips*

Oh! This is really good. *smiles at Severus*

Already seated in the room, looking over a couple of books for studying purposes, Mokuba perks up.

Oh look! A new person. Obviously, he had missed another sorting. It was hard on him to attend all of them, though.

Carefully, he went over to approach her.

"Hello there. You're new, right? I apologize I've missed your sorting. What's your name? Mine is Kaiba Mokuba. And how are you doing? Did everything go well at your sorting?"

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*still holding onto Tom's hand - gives a slight smile*

I am new... And my sorting went alright. *if she's not considering Voldemort's yelling and screaming, it did*

It's... nice to meet you. I'm Merope. *leaves her last name off on purpose*

[puppydog-eyes.livejournal.com]

Mokuba gives her a polite bow and takes note of Tom. "Hello there, Tom! I don't really know much about you either. Well, we talked a bit at my sorting. Nice to see you again, are you doing well too?"

He turned back to Merope and said, "Glad to hear it went all right, then. Looks like you know Tom whether well...." Mokuba trailed off as his eyes went to their hands--uh-oh. That could cause problems if Seto was interested in Tom.

"Errm.... How do you know Tom, if you don't mind me asking? You two seem pretty close."

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

Oh.. it's a long story. I'm... well, it's a little odd, actually. Ryuuji tried to figure it out. Something to do with time. I'm actually Tom's mother.

*smiles a little, happy that Tom has accepted her despite everything's that happened*

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

I'm doing well, thank you. *nods to Mokuba, another person he actually likes*

As she said. She's my mother. Well, my original's mother though I guess it transfers on down. She just got in and doesn't really know anyone here.

[puppydog-eyes.livejournal.com]

"I think it's great you get to see your mother," Mokuba said with a nod and smiled. "It's kinda sad she doesn't know anyone else, though. Now she can say she met me! I'll look out for her too, and she can be my friend, since I'm friends with Little Tom." Somehow that worked out, Mokuba wasn't really sure how, but he was sure it did.

[basilisk-lord1.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, little one." Tom wasn't precisely sure how he saw Merope just yet. He wasn't exactly comfortable with her and that likely wouldn't come for some time. He also was unsure how she could be a mother to him since he had already grown up without her.

Still, at least he could protect her and he'd already said he'd be her friend. He may be able to introduce her to a few people but then again, there weren't that many he desired to go near.

Ryuuji..

Do not think about that.

No one.

"I'm sure she would love that. Thank you for being so kind. She needs that right now."

[puppydog-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Okay!" A bright grin, so pure and innocent, and full of nothing but sincerity. "If either of you need anything, then, just let me know. It would be nice to get to know you too, Tom."

The pure intentions to repay a debt. One he was told to let lie, but one that still needed to be met--he insisted.

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*quietly* I will, thank you.

*very much likes Mokuba because Tom does and because he's being polite*

[puppydog-eyes.livejournal.com]

Mokuba's eyes widened a little. "Tom's mother!" Not only was that a relief on the boy trying to hook his brother up, but he felt this was very special--he'd love to meet his own mother, after all.

"That's great that you could join him, then. I hope you guys are getting along well? Is everything okay so far? Err...sorry if I'm asking too many questions," Mokuba trailed off as he gave them a sheepish smile.

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*smiles*

It is great. *squeezes Tom's hand* We're doing alright, I think. And no... It's wonderful that everyone's been really nice so far.

[puppydog-eyes.livejournal.com]

"Good to hear everyone's been good to you, then. How do you like being here? Is what you expected? It's a really big place, and it overwhelmed me a bit when I first got here. Very tricky," Mokuba admitted, conversational as always.

Having heard rumors of Merope's past, Caesar makes it a point to introduce himself. "Good evening, Miss Merope. I am Gaius Julius Caesar. It is a pleasure to meet you. Do let me know if you need anything."

[meropegaunt-r.livejournal.com]

*smiles at the slightly imposing figure that is Caesar, staying very close to Tom - knows that nothing bad will happen if Tom is there; smiles and nods at Caesar*

I will. Thank you, sir.

*likes him, as he's being nice and not yelling*
