"No, you can just take one." She handed two over, figuring the boy would want one too. "I'm Ellery Gwenog Borzekowski-Thomas and I'm a second year."

Wow, it was like shouting was the native language in Gryffindor. This girl talked in shouting TOO. Genny grinned at her welcome and nodded her head vigorously. "I do! Thanks." She craned herself all the way towards the pile and snatched one of the pretty crowns. Though she did not wear it because it was childish, she held preciously in her lap instead. "Why are you giving them away?" Everything had a reason, no?

"Wow that's a long name." Genny confessed with a smile. "I'm Genny Tate. Which name do I call you with?"

Text Cut: Tory & Ace! :D

Tory shouted because of all the songs he listened to? Genny blinked at the classic Rock 'n Roll bit before he and the boy called Tenacius belted out some sort of song (she guessed?). Genny giggled at them both and clapped enthusiastically, "I don't hear much music, and defiitely not Rock n' Roll." She only listened to what her cousins and parents listened to which was classics or Wrock.

Cheat... death?? The suggestion was too... ridiculous. Though it sent Genny's mind off to the possibility of doing so. "I don't think the headmistress is supposed to do that," she supplied helpfully. Her dad wouldn't let her go to school to cheat death. That sounded too complicated for them when they had JUST gotten their wands.

Tenacius BOWED to her, too, hehe. Genny placed the origami crown on her head as he did so to fit the part. "Thank you, thank you." But then Tory called him another name. A cooler name! "How come you have more than one name?"

"Hi! Hello!" Genny welcomed yet another new Gryffindor girl, with a warm smile and a big wave of the arms.

"GOOD EVENING, GRYFFINDORS!" he trumpeted complete with puffed out chest. "Welcome to our newly sorted, those lucky enough to have been granted the right by the Sorting Hat to join the ranks of the wizarding world's most brave of heart! I am Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington at your service. Resident ghost of Gryffindor Tower."

To conclude, he offered the table a gentleman's bow from the waist. He need not be careful this evening about his head wobbling too much as his ruff was more than sufficient enough to keep it in place.

*OO*

Nearly Headless Nick finally appeared. Genny's paper crown was taken off her head as she stared in amazement at the ghost. Her dad told her his story and even some stories from when he was a ghost! They were very well acquainted and it somehow gave her some pride in being the daughter of Gaellen Tate.

"Will you take us on a tour to the Gryffindor Tower tomorrow??" She blurted out excitedly, sparkles seen clearly through her eyes.

If she couldn't be a Ravenclaw, and she'd promised Benzi and Zander that she would try doing things right in Gryffindor, then Char was going to be the BEST and PROUDEST Gryffindor around.

She waved both hands at Genny and ROARED in excitement.

"YAAAAY! You're gonna be in a dorm like RIGHT BY MY DORM FOR FOREVER!" Yeah!!! Next dorm over!!

"Char!" Callum called again, racing for his big sister. There was adrenaline, there was shock and surprise, there was elation and excitement and everything all at once, and most of all, he was relieved. He had not realized how desperately he wanted to be in Gryffindor with his sister before, but he felt it now, and he wanted nothing more than to wrap her up in the biggest hug he could muster.

Which, clearly, he was going to do as his arms were wide open as he neared her.

"I'm a Gryffindor like you!!!" Could she believe it?!

Char's excitement was not disappointing, Genny's mouth opened in awe at the idea of next-door dorms. AND FOREVER. She laughed at the exaggeration but welcomed the idea. "It'll be a fun year!" Years? Depending on stuff.

Genny's attention snapped to Char's brother, Callum, who was her age exactly and was just sorted into Gryffindor. She opened her mouth to welcome him when Char went ahead and yelled introduction to the entire table-- no, castle. With a giggle and a wince, Genny waited for the excitement to die out a little before extending her 'hullo!' waves to Callum. "Hi! We're housemates AND yearmates!" THEY COULD GO TO CLASSES TOGETHER.

Candice turned her attention back to the sorting ceremony and saw a few students got sorted to Gryffindor. She saw them walking towards their table. Two of them looked pretty normal not all shouting and stuffs. But the last one was a bit enthusiastic. "Welcome to Gryffindor" She gave the three new sorted Lions a nod. She hoped they hear her since she's sitting on the very bottom of the table.

Apparently her sorting was indeed a big deal. How did she finally realize that? THE BLOODY PREFECT WAS TALKING TO HER. Genny beamed at the girl and grinned. "Thank you, prefect! What's your name?" And what exactly could she do to them that was helpful? Her dad didn't seem quite confident about Prefects, so he basically told her nothing.

THERE WAS CHAR...and TORY...and BLAISE...Olivia took a moment to properly fling herself at Blaise, giggling about carriage conversations. SEE?! She'd made it into the Lion House, duh. No sweat at all.

ANOTHER new Gryffindor! Genny waved at the newcomer. "Hi! Good job!" It was indeed a feat getting into the house of Bravery.

She answered Genny's question. Just because she's one year older than them, but it didn't mean that she didn't want to befriend with the firsties, right? Hehehe... The young lioness also gave a smile to the curly-haired boy {Tenacius) who just arrived at their table. "Welcome to Gryffindor!" And... she tried not to be surprised with the other boy (Tory) asked her name in a not very nice language. "I'm Ava. And next time please use nicer language when you're talking to people, young man." She reminded him. Wow, she felt like an adult.

Seeee, Genny knew Ava was not very older than her. "Do you have any tips for first year then?" She asked, not meaning academics-wise. That wasn't as important as living life in Hogwarts.

Also, whoa, Tory just got scolded by a slightly older girl for shouting. Genny looked a little hesitant before she chimed in, "He didn't mean it. That's the way he talks. He listens to Rock 'n Roll." So basically, that explained it all.

SPOILER!!: SPEECH

Leo seemed to have it under control, at least. Still, she was suddenly in a very anxious mood and wishing everyone would just be quiet and what better way to shut them all up and get this feast over with while things were still semi-under control than the speech and some food? Yes, food. That's what they needed.

"Enough of this," she said, giving Justin an apologetic look for not commenting on his beautiful daughter as she'd wanted to. Sorry, bro.

Clearing her throat loudly to end all conversation at the table, the brunette stood and looked down at the students. Magnified voice ready, she then started her very first speech as headmistress. Talk about exciting!

“Students, please rise!” Her tone was stern and she lifted her hands as if the motion alone would send each and every Hogwartian up and out of their seats. “Now take one step to your left,” She paused, giving them time to do so. Her gaze was fixed on them, expectant. “Now one step back.” More staring and a brief pause. “Now return to your seats.”

…

“My dad always said if I was going to be a good leader, I’d need to be able to move a crowd. Looks like I’ve got that under control, am I right?” The Moxinator gave a little giggle!snort and smiled down at the kids. “I want to welcome you all to Hogwarts, students new and old. I’m Professor Meredith Moxley and your interim headmistress. Our thoughts are with Abraham Botros, the former headmaster and beloved professor, while he deals with personal matters. I trust we’ll all behave in a manner he would be proud of.”

“I’d like you all to give a warm welcome to the newest additions to the staff. Professor Ichihara for Transfiguration, Professor Hirsch for Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Primeaux for Charms, Professor Finch for History of Magic, Professor Draper for Care of Magical Creatures, and Professor Newton for Potions.” Merlin’s beard, that was a lot of people! “Probably would’ve been easier to point out who had returned, eh?” Cue a nervous laugh.

SHOOT. She’d forgotten the…the um woman and she had yet to learn her name. Uh…

“Oh and a very warm welcome to our new Divination professor. Yes,” She said quickly, vaguely gesturing to the terrifying woman.

“With that said, let’s eat! And don’t forget that this term I expect you to have fun, be safe, and make the right decisions!” Moxley out. There was food to be had.

....?? Genny rose with the crowd, did what the headmistress asked them to do with hardly a straight face because nonsense instructions were hilarious, then finally took a seat.

Blah blah blah, former headmaster had personal issues, blah blah blah, FOOOOOD. Oooh and the hag everyone was talking about? Yes, that was the Divination professor obviously. Very charming. Genny wished she had this class this year, ugh.

ANYWAY. Now that the food was here, she threw all thoughts and worries over her shoulder and dug in.

"I think the Headmistress should list off all the different ways we can die here. That way we can find a new one and then cheat death." Yup. Good one Torrance Waaah! Oh it was Tenacious!! He stopped whatever it was he was doing then and there and stood up at placing one foot up where his but once was planted.

He laughed happily. He hadn't had the chance to see Ace on the Train, and was dingy boat length apart from him before they were lead up to the Castle for their Sorting. He smiled at the Girl (Ava) who greeted them to Gryffindor. She was nice. "Thanks I'm Tory, WHO the HELL are YOU?"
