Recently, I completed work on my first second generation in-guild character to attend Hogwarts (I've been here a while...) and I noticed something: most first years hardly know anything about each other! Like even things heard in passing. I mean, most students brought up in the wizarding world at least knew of Harry. Certainly there's got to be some of that going on here. So the purpose of this thread:
1. To figure out how first years may have known of each other/know each other (parents work together, neighbors, etc.).
2. To get to know each other (there's new members, I'm just old, but I like new members a lot!)
3. Maybe to get some advanced planning going.
In this spoiler will be a list of the current incoming First Years!

Added to the list. Perhaps Alice and William Zephyr know each other cause maybe Emilia knows Aravis? Like at the least they might have been forced to go to parties together or something or like "Take Your Child to Work Day".
King Beardly
Added to the list. Perhaps there shall be more plotting should we both get Gryffindor. o3o

I don't know if maybe William Zephyr and Zephyros know of each other cause of the Wyn brothers and Eretria. Maybe they'd have like a little rivalry or something.

(I dunno how useful this will be with Aster, being a muggleborn just entering the wizarding world, but.... I figured why not!)

Added to the list. It still might be useful for finding other muggleborns. And I have this thing that you can kinda tell who the ones raised in the muggle world are just because all of it's so new.

Added to the list! I don't know how much Megan's into gossip and rumors, but I've been totally prepared to have William Zephyr's family be something to make rumors off of if you're interested. o3o

Generally, she enjoys hearing and sharing gossip and rumours, although if they're farfetched she'll certainly question the person's source of information.
However, if it's something cruel and meant to be harmful (like spreading a lie that someone wet the bed until age 10) then she'll get angry on that person's behalf. She likes gossip, but she doesn't like people using it to bully others.
Overall, I'd have to say yeah, Megan would be interested in hearing (and even sharing) gossip about William's family (and others wink).
