LouAnn's eyes scanned the Great Hall, and she took in all the action going on around her. There were still a few students getting sorted, and LouAnn found herself happy that the sorting part of her first day at Hogwarts was over. It felt good to finally belong somewhere and to finally feel as it she had a group of people to call her own. Of course this didn't mean she couldn't befriend the students in one of the other three houses, though. Woodson, for example...wonder where he and Sebastian ended up?

Just as she questioned that, she heard someone call out her name, and she turned to see a boy she'd met in the streets of Diagon Alley over the summer. She thought about his name for a moment, then smiled and said, "Chris, right? Yup, I'm a Gryffindor, apparently. It's good to see that we're in the same house!" She returned his high five, then turned towards the girl she'd sat down next to. "Nice to meet you, Em. I'm LouAnn Purple, a fifth year," she told her. "What year are you in?"
