Third Floor Common Room - Saturday, Late morning/early afternoon

After taking a shower, Tori made her way to the common room. She turned on the television, finding some cartoons to watch.

It was a Saturday afternoon and there wasn't really anything good on the television, so cartoons it was.

Tori made a bowl of popcorn and sat down on the couch, trying to pass the time before the party.

After Jamie's words about getting out the other day, Hermione decides to bring her book out to the common room to read. After all, she can always leave if it gets too noisy.

She gives the new girl a little "Hello" and sits in one of the chairs with her book.

"Hey there." Tori smiled, and waved. "Popcorn?" She offered.

"Oh, no thank you," she says. She glances towards the television and asks, "What are you watching?"

"Sure thing." Tori smiled warmly, placing the popcorn on the table in front of her. "Just some random cartoons." She shrugged. Tori hadn't really been paying attention. "I think it's Xiaolin Showdown."

Leave it to Tori to find a show centering around martial arts. "I'm Tori, by the way. From 304."

"Hermione," she says. "I'm in 308. Where are you from, Tori?"

"Nice to meet you, Hermione." Tori smiled warmly. "California, Blue Bay Harbor. Present day. You?"

"England, 1995. Well, 1996 now, I suppose," she says, and almost smiles. "I see you've already learned to specify what time, too."

Tori laughed. "Yes, it only took me a couple of days, but I finally got the hang of it." She nodded.

"Have you met many people so far?"

"So many." Tori remarked, still reeling from all of the people she'd come into contact with. "And I know I'll only meet more, when classes start on Monday."

Hermione immediately brightens, because she's kind of a nerd. "I'm looking forward to it," she says happily. "What are you taking?"

"As am I." Tori was excited. "Folklore and Fact, Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy and Conflict Management. You?"

"Defense Against Malicious Magic, 20th Century Popular Culture, Forensic Science, the religion class with the ridiculous name, and Novice's Guide to Villains and Villainy," she recites. "I took Professor Next's class last semester and it was very interesting."

"Wow, those all sound like great classes." Tori mused. "So, I can look forward to Villains being an informative, rewarding class?" She had heard good things about the teachers around here, it was an assumption of Professor Next, but she liked to think good things.

"Definitely," Hermione says with a nod. "I'm usually more used to nonfiction books, but we covered many of the classic novels and learned more than I would have otherwise. It's very interactive. And once we visited a library that had fifty-two levels of books!"

Tori raised an eyebrow. "Fifty-two levels? Whoa." The library in Blue Bay Harbor was only one level, but it housed a lot of books, or so Tori had thought.

"It was brilliant," Hermione says, and this is about as bubbly as she gets, and it's over a library. "I didn't want to leave."

"I can only imagine." Tori replied, trying to picture what it would look like. She probably would've gotten lost in there.

It only now occurs to Hermione that the fifty-two level room is probably only of interest to her, Willow and Rory. "I get carried away sometimes," she admits.

Tori shrugged. "When it's something you're truly interested in, it's okay." She grinned.

"What kinds of things are you interested in?" she asks. The girl can be taught to be social. She can.

"Well, I love to surf." Tori beamed, it was her favorite pasttime. Really, it was. She was a killer out on the waves. "That's a big part of my life."

There were others things Tori was interested in. But surfing was, without any doubt, what took up most of her time. Well, besides being a ninja. "And martial arts."

"You're obviously much more athletic than I am," Hermione says. "There is a self-defense club here you might be interested in, if it continues this semester."

"Oh, thanks." She blushed ever so slightly. "Really?" Ooh. Tori's ears perked up at the mention of a self-defense club. She'd definitely have to check it out. "Thanks. I wouldn't have known about it, otherwise."

"I think they do something for different clubs at the beginning of the semester sometime," she says. "I think that's one of the ones that people are very interested in."
