Kari Rouge sat at the edge of Ravenclaw's house table, looking at the different coloring for each house. The table's length from the large double doors to the front, giving some space between the four long tables and the fifth which was horizontal to the four. Ravenclaw's table had a long cloth as well as the three others parallel to it, but with different colors. The Gryffindor table had deep blood red and gold on the cloth with a fierce lion sewn in small ways. The Slithering cloth had grass green and silver on its cloth, with small snakes sewn in the edges. At Kari's own table Ravenclaw the cloth had blue and bronze stripes along the whole length with a darker version of bronze for a pair of wings. The last table Hufflepuff, had the cloth colored yellow and black with a large bright yellow leaf two black eyes in it at the ends of the table. Kari watched the elderly looking, Santa Claus figure headmaster called, Dumbledore speak about many rules and expectations in the large school.
Once the whole speech from the group of teachers ended, Dumbledore flicked an item like wand in the air for an assortment of food to appear out of thin air, and the platters of food to slowly be placed on top of the tables with a variety of food. She did not know how to act around people who knew magic, much less teachers who'd probably pick her at random to be seen as the idiot in class. Staring at the spread of juices, pumpkin and many others, but also fruit. Choosing for fruit and some bread to keep herself busy on, or incapable of speaking cause of them, before leaving the room itself.
Only to see Hagrid shortly after, his deep black hair and beard seemed to engulf most of him, but he spoke kindly"You seem to be lacking some supplies necessary for school." He held out a book with leathery teeth shaped bits where the cover opens along with a strap to keep it closed shut. "Cool..." Kari felt like saying, and almost did when she heard the large doors open for someone to leave what acted as a cafeteria.
Looking towards the stranger, to see a similar tamed head of brown and glasses come towards her. "Since you have no supplies want to study together?" Standing with a girl with deep red hair and green eyes, she held her hand out and introduced herself as Lily Evans. All Kari thought to do was smile and shake other girl's hand. As the day slowly progressed, the perfect of Ravenclaw was always helping her get around the whole school, being as she got lost more than a blind owl hits a wall.
Kari felt like blushing whenever a classmate asked her if they should draw a map for her to use, and to not get lost as often. On some days, she sat out in the sun reading about potions and fighting her mind, trying to remember what each potion needs to do well, without wand work. Until she heard loud bouts of laughter take over the serene environment and took her focus off the book, towards the source. Seeing a familiar slithering called Severus Snape, and a group who appeared to come from Gryffindor, more often than not. Kari had most people believe she was either mute or hiding her voice for some reason, so she snuck up to one and started hitting the Gryffindor with the thick potions book, until Severus was free.
Kari felt her acting mute kept her safe from too much suspicion at least when trying to cast spells, but besides that she needed to make sure to keep her other classes in good graces. Pausing to see Severus start to leave, but not wanting him to leave she gently touched his arm and gave a slight smile to the blank stare.
Kari Rouge and Severus Snape just read a book sitting nearby a tree, when she was able to stop the group of Gryffindor students and Lily Evans was not around to help first. Kari would catch sight of her reading companion watching Lily Evans near James Potter, along with Sirius Black and another fellow with pale skin and light brown hair, called Remus Lupin. She watched the guys with quiet dismay at the boys, only to hear Severus mutter bitterly his hatred of people called 'mudbloods' or 'muggles', which lead her to feel insecure in her position near him.
1975, the Winter break came by quickly than people would expect, but Kari was excited for hogwarts to be to herself and a short amount of other people. She ran to the library for a couple books; verbal hex book, Potions on curses, and plants with special properties if eaten. Clinging to the books and hurrying to the Ravenclaw common room, only to bump into a solid body of some kind. Looking up, her canary yellow eyes met bright green eyes, but she pushed away from him and quickly went after her books while the violet locked cascaded over her face hiding her face from view. "Remus, have you met Rouge? She invited us and some slytherin for a game... look." James Potter said, holding a letter in his fingers that was white with a petal indentation on it.
As soon as Kari got her books, she left the proximity of the Gryffindors to her room. Reading up on the spells and potions to try on the group she invented, although she knew they may try things on her too. 'Wait... What is going to happen?' Kari thought as her mind went along to her invited guests.
