Sena and Izumi.

A newly sorted Ravenclaw; Izumi had eaten her fill at the banquet. Full, and content with her sorting she had nodded off at her spot in front of the fireplace in the Ravenclaw common room. When she woke up the common room was empty, save for one other girl who looked older than her by a few years.

"You're one of the first years?" The girl asked with mild curiosity.

Izumi nodded as she straightened up. "I'm Izumi Orimoto."

"And I'm Sena Kashiwazaki. Welcome to Ravenclaw."

Mai and Masamori

...bonus Izumi and Orlando if you feel like it

Young Masamori was hurrying home one hot, summer day with a bag of ice from the market. As he turned down a particular corner her heard the sound of someone crying. For a second he hesitated, looking down at the already dripping bag of ice in his hands, but he quickly followed the sound. He found a girl, probably five or so years younger than him, crying on the sidewalk. He took a few steps towards her.

"Are you alright?"

The girl looked up at him, and roughly wiped her nose. "N-NO!!!!" She wailed.

"You're lost?"

Still sobbing, the girl nodded.

Masamori shifted the bag of ice while he considered his options. "Who were you with?"

"My mommy..."

"And where did you see her last?"

It took a few minutes for the girl to collect herself and recall an answer. "W-we...were getting vegetables. For dinner."

Masamori nodded. "Why don't we try looking at the market, then? It's right down the road." After shifting the ice bag once more so he could hold it with one hand, he gave her a reassuring smile. After which he held out his free hand to her.

The girl sniffed, then hesitantly took his offered hand. Together they returned to the market where a woman was looking frantically about. "Mai! Mai, where are you?"

"Mommy!" The girl pulled away from Masamori and launched herself at the woman who quickly embraced her. After a tearful reunion and a gentle scolding the two got ready to leave. Satisfied with his good deed, Masmamori turned to leave. Before he could though, the girl hurried back over to him.

"Thank you," she said shyly before giving him a hug for his efforts. Seconds later she was running back to her mother who waved and thanked him. He nodded politely to her as they left.

Masamori wasn't even bothered that he had to go back inside and buy a new bag of ice.
