The fifth year finally had everything in its place after the summer vacation and was excited to welcome the new den-mates as soon as possible. She saw the new matron sat in the room surrounded by youngsters and she smiled to herself before striding in to greet everyone. One of the other girls seemed a little distressed, it wasn't suprising, for most children they were away from loving homes for the first time in their lives. She remembered mixing her own excitement with moments of trepidation.

"I'm Antelope Grace, I'm in the fifth year." she gave a little courtesy to the new adult in their lives. "Your cat is gorgeous." she added, flopping to the floor with the first years, she tickled the the cat under the chin before addressing the other children.

"You can call me Jynx if you want. This den is the best place in the school, next is the greenhouses, if you ever need anything, or just want a friend, I'll probably be there if I'm not in class, ok?" She looked at the small group and then back at the matron, offering a warm greeting to the woman who would now live with them too.
