After her immeasurable reaction to being sorted into her FAVORITE house, the person calling out the names had been forced to strongly suggest she take a seat. This didn't even phase Olivia, however. She was...BEYOND reach...as she drifted down from the platform; practically floating to the Gryffindor table.

That was...until it came time to greet her new housemates.

HOUSE. MATES. GAAAH.

"HELLO, EVERYONE!!!" Liv bounced along, pausing here and there to fling her arms around random people. Her fellow Gryffindors. OH, and CHAR! 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.

After she'd spent herself in raining down her affections, the itty blonde FINALLY sat. "Guys...guuuuys..." There was a drop in her voice; so Liv could whisper. Lest anyone heard that wasn't supposed to...See, it wasn't her plan. Therefore, not her place to blab! "...are we still doing it?"

Mischief. ALWAYS with the mischief.

....Where was Bentley?

Ava listened to Blaise more about the 'fun' plan and she blinked when the boy mentioned that the Prefect was being a jerk to Bentley? Wasn't prefect supposed to be nice and helpful to the younger ones? She didn't really like when those guys who're supposed to be good role model turned into a jerk. They're like... using their authority for a bad thing. "Okay, then.. I'm still in." She nodded to him.

"Nice to meet you, Alice!" She smiled at the firstie. Wow, she didn't remember that she was just as cute as them when she was a firstie last year. Hehehe. "I'm Ava, second year." 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.

She just chuckled when Trixie asked her if they could get a year's supply of chocolate frogs for earning the most points... Because she was the top house point earner last year, but she didn't want to brag. "Well, I dunno exactly but maybe you can ask Professor Flamsteed about that."

So Candice didn't forget about the plan... Good. "Okay then, we can talk about that later. Maybe in secret." Hehehe... They're like cool kids now, having some cool secrets and doing some cool things. Cough cough...

Ava spotted the Slytherin (Bastien) came toward Char, so he might be the cousin.. She just smiled at him and looked at the boy that her dorm mate pointed to. "Coolness!" She said. "Well, I don't really have a family coming this year but I saw some friends who's getting sorted and all of them are in Ravenclaw." She didn't mind though, but still she hoped that Jace was a Gryffindor too like her. And then she saw Callum and the other girl Livvy came to the table joining them. "Welcome to Gryffindor!" She smiled at both of them.

"Hello, Sir Nicholas!" She waved at the ghost.

There was so many people it was so exciting and a bit overwhelming for once she was actually thankful of her mom throwing so many parties.

Arista looked at Candice, and said "Dang I was kind of hoping you would call me Arista this time but oh well you make it fun Messer." She eyed the badge, yeap Flamsteed was a nutter! "I'm just saying its funnny. All though at least I can say I'm friends with the prefect." Plus it was kind of cool. "Guess I'll have to be good in front of you from now on." She laughed at the thought and gave her a wink.

Arista almost hadn't seen her but she did notice that in a sea of red she had some blue. It was one of the only reasons she noticed, "ABBY!! How have you been!" She waved at her attempting to get her attention.

Back to the first year she hugged she smiled, something she hadn't noticed she was a fellow redhead, woah! "Nice to meet you Alice! Hope I didn't scare you to much when I hugged you. The name is Arista Royal." She gave a wave and a smile at her, hopefully she didn't scare her how would she live that down! Scaring first years yeap that was Ms.Royal.

Oh look Hope was speaking to her now, yay! She looked over at her pranking friend and smiled. "I don't know whether to be sad or happy at you growing up." The redhead giggled before smiling even bigger. "YESS!! Lets!!!" She was so excited!! Oh when did Sir Nicholas get here. She smiled brightly at the ghost and said "Hello Sir Nicholas, how do you do?" She gave a small curtsy towards the ghost and another smile. She just loved Sir Nicholas!! Just as she was about to say something else to the ghost she heard her name being yelled!!! OMG WAS THAT AJ!!!!!

"AJ!!!!!!!" She shrieked excitedly! Hey she hadn't seen her best friend in forever so she was sorry if she was a bit excited. She bounced over to the girl and said "OMG!! Who have you been!" She pulled her bestie into a hug and smiled! She let go and then realized she hadn't seen Thomas...Where was that boy!?

[QUOTE=RandomRaven;11851563][COLOR="DodgerBlue"]


She smiled at Jessie. This girl seemed very happy to be in Gryffindor. Well, who doesn't? They're cooler and better! Hehehe... "You must be. We are absolutely the best!" She bragged. "Is anybody from your family was a Gryffindor too?" Or maybe just like her? The one and only Gryffindor from the Burton house. How cool was that?




Jessie laughing happily.All nervousness fade away replaced by proudness and happiness.

" Oh yeah, My dad was in Gryffindor. When I was child, he always told me about this house. How they won House cup almost every years."

Those memories remind Jessie to her dad. She missed him so much. But her dad was laying unconsciously in St. Mungos.

"My mum told me otherwise. She said that the sorting hat will put me into Slytherin like her. Because my huge ambition. "

Jessie found out that she like Ava so much. For Jessie, Ava was energetic and friendly.

"And Ava, I'm a big fans of Puddlemore United.That very old quidditch team was very awesome! Especially Wood! Oliver Wood! He was also a Gryffindor,right?"

Jessie almost jumped from her seat because of excitement. Her green eyes sparkling in awesomeness.

The moment Amur started trying to eavesdrop on the Maggie-Zeke conversation, she instantly regretted it. It was the common problem of tuning into anything, white noise or private conversations. Once tuned in, it was hard to tune out. And Amur WANTED to. Very badly. They were speaking quietly enough, but every now and then above the din and roar of the great hall, Amur caught one to a few of the uncomfortable words going between them.

It had her shifting and looking for some distraction, ANY distraction, for her little ears. Thankfully, there was Blaise. Un-thankfully, he didn't make her feel any less confused about things. For a moment, she sort of blinked at him. Sure, she liked fun. She liked food fights too. Especially with so many people. But, did Blaise realize that socking the Prefects and Head's was akin to socking the Professors? Did Blaise realize that it would probably make them turn their noses up MORE at the younger kids? Especially if no words were spoken?

She was confused. Conflicted. TORN APART!

Her expression showed it all, as she shifted again. "....Why not...try talking to them first?" And talking as in angry yelling and arguing, because of COURSE there was injustice here. "They may not....get the point if you don't do that first."

Cause, well really WHO could say no to a food fight? But, perhaps she was going to? Perhaps, this would be the FIRST TIME.

She didn't know. She really didn't know. And there were so many people joining them now. A lot of excited voices, a happy backdrop to the misery she could FEEL radiating from the turned back of Zeke. Amur shifted, and tried to look around for some happy to latch onto. There was Headless Nick! And other people she knew by name, but didn't really know.

And there was suddenly no Zeke beside her. No Zeke at the Gryffindor table. No Zeke in the dining hall at all! Amur stared after him for a long moment, torn between jumping up and running after him and well, feeling like her butt was glued to the seat. Turning slowly, Amur peeked over at Maggie, not wanting to look too intrusive. She hadn't heard a LOT, honestly, but....she'd heard more than she should have.

Biting her bottom lip, Amur quickly looked to her plate and poked it. Where was the food and the speech?

...

.......

No.

The moment she'd looked back at him Maggie knew something was wrong. Her heart dropped when Zeke was the one getting out of his seat now. She'd just meant that she should probably head over to her own house table. Like. Before the speech and stuff. This really wasn't the right place to talk about this was it. He had to realize that too. They could talk later. And as much as she didn't want to she also had every intention to do exactly that.

Wait...he was actually LEAVING??

The hand on her shoulder barely registered with her. Watching Zeke left a very bitter aftertaste in her mouth. She swallowed, then - feeling eyes on her - stared blankly at Kaycee for a second.

"ZEKE!" Okay maybe calling after him made her seem a little pathetic. As would running so after she, too, had gotten off the bench, Maggie walked after him. Quickly. Her legs were pretty long but she still wasn't sure she'd be avld to catch up with him like this. Maybe a trip jinx would help. Yes. She'd keep that in mind as a last resort.

Ugh. NOT a great start into her fifth year.

A gleeful laugh bubbled out of Trixie's mouth. She had just been rawr'ed at. This place was so awesome. "RAWWWRRRR!!" Right back at ya dude.

"Is that like the muggle band?" It didn't occur to her that he might not know about muggles. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Trixie."



Oh hehe, the Prefect was funny. "Oh I bet you're just as smart as you are pretty." Trixie nodded her head somewhat seriously. She was just a little awestruck at being able to sit and talk to an older student. One who was a Prefect no less.

"Oh no." She replied with a shake of her head. "My dad and uncle were Gryffindors also. Actually my uncle used to teach here." She chewed on her bottom lip and she almost went cross eyed as she tried to think. "It was years ago though." Eh...she couldn't remember how long ago it was. "So is this your first year at Prefect?"



Oh. Well what was the point of being top points earner if you didn't even get anything out of it. Winning the house cup was good and all...

"Which one is Professor Flamsteed? And what does he do?" These were important questions, she had to know who she had to speak to about getting the rules changed around here.

Charlotte caught the nod and instantly decided that meant she was COOL. Probably Zander had MADE SURE THAT CANDICE KNEW that Char was one of the coolest kids here and had agreed to properly give her house a go, and that was why she was nodding at her and acknowledging her and MAYBE she would let Char wear her badge some time this term just like Zander and Benzi had in the previous one.

She suddenly had a INTENSE desire to IMPRESS the older girl. To PROVE herself or something. And not to be seen as just some little kid, that was important for some reason. So instead of yelling as she might otherwise have, Char offered up a totally cool head nod thing like she had seen her oldest cousins, Michael and Angelo do.

Char's attention went back up to the sorting just in time for the MOST IMPORTANT ONE (even if the rest were really important as well). CALLUM. CALLUM KETTLEBURN. CALLUM ALBERT KETTLEBURN. NAMED FOR THE FORMER MINISTER FOR MAGIC. She smiled right back at him and hugged herself, almost imploding with excitement.

SORTING. SORTING TIME. HIS BUTT ON THE STOOL. THE HAT ON HIS HEAD. Charlotte took a deep breath and held it.... and held it a bit longer... and then let it out and cheated and took ANOTHER deep breath to hold...

.....


.........


GRYFFINDOR!!!!?!?!?!!!!!!

"WAHAaaAHHHGHHEEEeEEEEEK!" Char shot up to her feet in excitement, clapping and jumping. HER BROTHER WAS IN THE SAME HOUSE AS HER HE WAS IN THE SAME HOUSE THEY WERE GONNA BE TOGETHER THIS WAS AMAZ--

"Callum!" She caught him in a hug and bounced and nearly toppled over the bench seat.

"EVERYONE THIS IS MY BROTHER CALLUM KETTLEBURN AND HE IS ONE OF US!" And she would DESTROY ANYONE who was mean to him.

Having made such an important announcement, Charlotte squished over so there was enough space for him to join her (and Bastien if he was staying, Char assumed that Katy had gone to bug Dima since Dima wasn't over here either).

OH MAN.

Now it was Michael and Zahra and her AND CALLUM and THAT was enough of them to make Gryffindor just as much part of the family legacy as Ravenclaw and Slytherin were! BEST TERM EVER AHEAD!


AAAAAAAAH LIV! AAAAAH! Charlotte knelt on the bench and then stood up and then knelt again and then sat down and stood up in quick succession.

"You're a GRYFFINDOR!" Okay so she didn't have her bestie since Davie was Ravenclaw and all but this ENTIRE FEAST was just getting better and better because all these people she cared about were going to be in her common room! GENNY AND OLIVIA AND CALLUM AND ALL THOSE OTHER NEW PEOPLE THAT SHE WOULD GET TO AT SOME POINT.

And WHAT thing are they still doing? Huh? IS THIS THE FUN THING THAT BLAISE WAS ABOUT TO TELL HER ABOUT? Charlotte looked between all the other younger years expectantly. TELL NOW. FUN NOW. SOON YES?


"Well you can borrow my family sometimes if you need." She DID have her own brother here of course, Char knew, but STILL. It was good to have extras, and starting this term, Char had Dima and Bastien and Katy and Callum!

"We have to talk about our summers later!" Yeah in their dorms. UP ALL NIGHT BOOYAH!

Jessie almost jumped from her seat because of excitement. Her green eyes sparkling in awesomeness.

Slytherin? Hmmm... "All people in my family who went to Hogwarts were Slytherin too.... Except my twin brother and I." Yeah, they both were exceptional. But let's not talk about Teddy here because he was there, sitting with his fellow Ravenclaws. "Oh yes, Oliver Wood was also in Gryffindor. There are so many cool people who belonged to Gryffindor..." And maybe if she told her, she would not gonna stop talking.

Borrow her family?

"Well, that would be cool." Hehehe... "I have a brother here. But... Sometimes he's just too shy so he rarely comes out from his dorm." And that's why not many people knew that Ava has a twin. It wasn't Teddy's problem though, but sometimes she just really wanted to say to introduce him to all people... Like what Charlotte had done with Callum.

"Yes, we totally should!" Staying up all night chatting with friends... Wasn't that fun?!!

"Which one is Professor Flamsteed? And what does he do?" These were important questions, she had to know who she had to speak to about getting the rules changed around here.

Which one is Professor Flamsteed? Oh that was such an easy question. The Gryffindor Head of House was a very quirky and amusing man, Though sometimes he was just too smart on his field that sometimes Ava didn't understand his words AT ALL. "Professor Flamsteed is teaching Astronomy and... He's the one who always wear a suit." Her eyes scanned at the staff table but..... Something happened there.

...............

IS THAT MAN JUST DIED?

"Yeah, that's him. The one who just... passed out." She hoped.

Astronomy huh. "My uncle says that Astronomy is a waste of time." Of course Trixie had no idea whether that was true or not, but Uncle Oliver was a cool dude and she tended to listen to what he had to say.

Trixie followed Ava's gaze to the Staff table and her mouth fell open when she saw that man on the ground. She stood up from her chair and raised herself onto her tip toes so that she could get a better look.

No one else seemed to have noticed.

"MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!" Trixie turned back to look at Ava with a small grin on her face. "You reckon we should go save him?"

They were Gryffindors after all.

"I beg your pardon?" Sir Nicholas asked as he glided closer to the young one, only everything from his torso up above the table at present. "Of the DMP?" And then it struck him what the boy was alluding to. "I prefer Sir Nicolas, if you please. And allow me to extend a formal and personal congratulations to you on your Sorting. Welcome to Gryffindor, Sir Tenacius."


Chuckling, the ghost lifted one arm up and knotted his fingers in his hair. "I would hate to disappoint," he winked while tugging upwards a bit and then to the side to put on a bit of a show for the young woman and everyone else bearing witness to this little treat.

Hopefully no one would throw up this time.

Head back in place, the house ghost turned his attention towards the Lady Candice. "As good as can be considering certain circumstances. Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore continues to ever be a thorn in my side, but I am looking forward to seeing Gryffindor continue to bring the House Cup home at the end of the term," he boasted. "Especially under your leadership. Congratulations, m'lady."


Sir Nicholas returned the Gryffindor's wave with a toothy smile. "Good evening."

"Good evening," he greeted with another bow from the waist. But all too soon she had departed to speak with another housemate. The excitement of the night could not be helped!

Although the lull in conversation did draw the ghost's attention elsewhere. Towards a certain fifth year Gryffindor seemingly having trouble in paradise. The sting of young love could be quite keen. He would simply watch from afar for now, but would certainly make a point to seek out the young man later for a bit of a chat.

Such matters could not be left to Professor Flamsteed's coarse hands.

All concerns quickly dissipated by yet another outburst from the Lady Charlotte. So naturally he had to glide his way towards her and her newly sorted brother.

"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sir Callum. Welcome to Gryffindor. Your sister is not the only one pleased to have you here."

Floating through the table, and through several students along the way, Sir Nicholas arrived beside the first year and followed the direction in which she pointed.

Good MERLIN. What had happened?

"No need to worry. Despite appearances your Head of House cannot be thwarted so easily and I am sure Healer Murdoch with take care o----" Sir Nicholas' eyes scanned the staff table and fell upon the ghastly looking woman. "Who might that woman be?" he questioned, his words directed to no one in particular.

But where was the Gryffindor boy prefect? Based on what he could hear from under the table, Blaise was sparing the female one...though he didn't know why. It wasn't like any of them was super nice to him so....

Back to his plan...maybe he'd just leave their shoes alone, it's not like legs tied or not they could stop anything from happening either way...

So they second year turned and crawled in the other direction...

What that....

"Ow!" Bentley stopped and rubbed his head. He looked at the feet that did the damage and frowned. See those feet were small enough to call for retaliation. If the person fought back he was sure that he could take him.

pow! Bentley punched the foot that kicked his head, then waited, so he could punch the nose that belonged to the feet too.

Quick crawl quick crawl....oh wait!

Bentley popped up between two small people so he could wave to Olivia when he heard her voice. What kind of question was that? Did they seem the type to change their minds.

"OOOOOOliiiviaaaaaaaa!" He called from between the two small bodies. "It's Ben." He continued...just in case she couldn't quite see his head properly.

The golden tanned boy used his hand to wave her over. "Come.here."

"Twin brother? "

Awesome!! As if she had one. "Then Ava, let me know about him. He must be cute like you."


Jessie felt more exited "Dad was right. Many Gryffindor is containing great peoples."


the voice of cheers reached her ears. Jessie looked around her surrounding before went back to Ava. " You know what? I'm sure I'll need your help from now on,Ava."

Oh, how she loves magic!


.

Yoongi smiled at the enthusiasm that this first year(Trixie) had. He put his thumbs up to show he had seen her wave before he turned to Ava again. Was he excited about being Head Boy. Yoongi shrugged his shoulders. “I guess I’m more nervous to be honest, I mean it’s a huge responsibility” he hoped he did well, he didn’t want to be known as the Head Boy who messed up.

“Don’t exaggerate Blaise” he said with a sigh. He was still not going to give him any food or drinks. How was he supposed to do that anyways? Run down to the kitchen? Ha no way. Besides, the kid had legs himself, if he wanted food so bad he could get it himself. His Head Boy status did not mean he had to run errands to keep the younger ones pleased. “Just wait like everyone else” No more whining. And again he had no clue about his clean comment so he chose to ignore it. Probably some slang.

“I think that Hag is over at the staff table now” Yoongi said to Candice as he pointed at the ugly woman. A ripple of fear ran over him as he stared at the Hag. He shivered as he turned back to listen to what his co-prefect had to say more. The new professors. Yoongi raised an eyebrow at her as she called them that and he turned his head to look at the new professors better. He could not see who was meant to be who but one thing was sure. He was far better looking than those men. With their…adultnesss…and their beards and bleh. “Alright, see you later” he said with a wave at Candice but he wasn’t paying attention to his co-prefect but he had leaned back to search the Hufflepuff table . Was Norah looking at McDreamy, McSteamy and McVet as well???!?!? But once he saw the Hufflepuff Prefect talking to some first years he relaxed. Ok cool. He was cool.

He looked back at his own table and saw that Candice took a seat next to Blaise and was offering the kid some chocolate. He groaned inwardly. Didn’t she know that these kids needed to learn how to be patient and that they had to wait like everybody else for their food? Well, it was her own fault if she was suddenly crowded with zombie like students all wanting a piece of chocolate because once you give food to one, the rest get jealous and chaos would start. Of course, he hoped that this wouldn’t be the case…

He then heard his name being called and it took him a moment to find who had shouted when he realised that it was AJ. Yoongi beamed at her because she was the first person who seemed to congratulate him on the badge genuinely. “Thank you AJ” he shouted back just when the Ghost of Gryffindor floated through the table. This year, Yoongi was prepared for it and he didn’t fell of his seat in fright. “Good evening Sir Nicholas” he said

Tenacius' face lighted up even more as he watched the ghost's body move through the table without a hitch. "That is just so cool!" he managed to get in before hearing the disembodied's request. "Oh ok, Sir Nicolas." Four syllables instead of two. Well ok he'll survive that. And his eyes twinkled on the words of welcome "Thanks Sir Nicholas. Hat made me choose between you guys and them Eagles..." he said as he nudged his head towards the other table ".. It was really tough, having to decide like that. But hey I went with you guys." Beam. Please don’t make him regret it.

But just when he thought the tricks are done, the Gryffindor House Ghost pulled his signature move. "Ahahaha cooooool!!!" the curly top exclaimed clapping. "Are you able to get it all off? Y'know like do a headless horseman thing? Who plays your Ichabod?"





There was a girl at the end of the table, sitting all prim and proper, so although he couldn’t quite hear her from where he sat -- because rambunctious noisy kids are happening -- he did notice her and gave her a trademark Tenacius smile and wave.

The girl who sat closer to him he could hear. "Thanks Ava! I'm Tenacius." Oh wait she sayin' something about his language? "That is his nice language." he chuckled "Try getting gum in his hair and you'll really hear something that would make your ears melt."




Tenacius was already beaming with all the cool rawrring and high-fiving with this girl, but when she mentioned the band, he lighted up like a christmas tree "Actually it is! I am named after that Muggle band. They're ridiculous and funny and rock n' rolly and yeah Dad loves them. " Clearly he likes his name, which is always a good thing. "How'd you know about that Trixie? Hardly anybody picks up on that little trivia."




Ok wait a sec, did the table just cry out? No way can a table just cry out. And given that he's an expert of being the voice behind tables crying out Tenacius looked at Tory with a look on his face "Didja hear that? Is there someone under there?" Peeeeer under the table.




Something was happening. Lots of somethings. All at once too.

First he saw the girl was squealing about her brother. But then just as her voice hit the rafters the guy all the way in front of the hall collapsed!

"Girl that some set of pipes you've got." the curly top exclaimed impressed "What frequency did you just hit? That guy over there turned red like a muggle thermometer and boom gone!"




Tenacius looked back to what the House Ghost was referring to "Oh her? She's uhh.... Not Ariadne's Grandma." Nod nod he was sure of that "She rode the train with us, keeps saying something about doom and gloom and quests and journeys." then he leaned in in a not so secret whisper "She needs a bath though. And moisturizers. Lots of it."

Abby gave Candice and friendly nod back she didn't know the girl that well but was going to get to know her better, Abby heard her name and saw Arista and said "Hey Arista it is going good thank you, i have not seen you for ages"

There was so much going on around him. It was almost difficult for the young boy to keep up with everything and everyone! Was some older girl waving Hello and welcoming them! (Candice) He waved back to her quickly. Also there was a Ghost and he could do something with his head (Sir Nick) Torrance stared in awe of him and his frilly clown piece around his neck. “Scuss me me! Mister Clown Ghost Sir!" Torrance spoke to the Ghost rather rudely, but with the utmost respect since he seemed important "What do you do with your head!?” He wanted to know!!!

What was Ace telling this girl(Ava)!?!? “Oi hey, don't tell her that!” He shoved Ace for that. “You're Hair probably would do worse with wads of gum stuck in it.” Have you seen Ten’s hair it was like an unkempt Wild Jungle of wavy...hair!

Gah hey look Olivia was in their same house too!! He wasn't sure if he wanted to teach her dice games now since she cleaned his pockets out on the Train over Slapjack. He gave her a court smile and a quick wave…..ow HEY whoever it was he kicked hit back from under the Table. He kicked them once more then leaned back to see that Bentley was his victim.“Oi Bentley” he whispered harshly under his breathe. “What the hell are you doing under there?” Torrance Remembrall glowed a brighter red in his pocket so he pulled it out and looked at it. What was he forgetting?

THAT SORTING THING TOO AGES!

Not his particular sorting, but there were SO MANY new people to be sorted Matt was almost falling ASLEEP there. But HEYO, NOT ANYMORE! "GRYFFINDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!!!!!!!!!" He yelled again, still holding his VICTORY FIST up in the air, his stormtrooper helmet under his arm. LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE WEARING THE GRYFFINDOR CREST AND-

Matt immediately looked at his own uniform and it was now RED AND THE CREST WAS THERE TOO AND "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! This is AWESOME!!!" ASDFGHJKLKJHGFDFG AWESOME!!!

"HI!!! HELLO! HI! HIII!!" The 11 year-old walked around the table to see if he could spot anyone he KNEW!! HE KNEW THEM KIDS OVER THERE! "YOU'RE GRYFFINDOR TOO, I KNEW IT!" He yelled as he POINTED at Tory and Chewieisthatyoulol.

HOLYYODA "IT'S NEARLY HEADLESS NICK!" He whipped his head around to see if Julia was there too. He had paid attention to hardly any sorting other than the first few ones so he didn't even know whether she had been sorted yet or not. Oops. Hehehehe, NO MATTER, GRYFFINDOORRRR!!!

"Yes. We definitely should talk later." Maybe she's going to stop by Ava's dorm or she just gonna invite the little lioness to her dorm because she couldn't risk someone hearing her plan.


Called her Arista? "Not a chance, Royal." She prefer to call the girl by her last name, its more fun that way. "What's funny? Me wearing a badge?" Sometime she just didn't get Arista. "Friends? Since when we're friends, Royal? More like acquaintance I say." She gave her fellow sixth year s small smirk. "Aren't you the goody goody two shoes?" She was pretty sure AJ was the prankster in their year not Arista. And she's kinda in the middle. She's what people said Team Switzerland. Yup.



Candice couldn't help to smile at the young girl. "Look at you being all wise." And look at her being all nice to the firstie. Take that Henric Nicolei!

"Oh! You come from a Gryffindor family then?" That's kinda cool. She's the only who's sorted to this house in her family. "You're uncle used to teach here?" Wow. Okay. "What subject did your uncle teach when he's a Professor here?" Probably a cool one. Maybe Charms? Or DADA?

"Yes this is my first year as Prefect." Nod. Nod.



Candice watched as Sir Nicholas putting up a show with his head for the Gryffindor kids. No kids with weak stomach this term. That's a good start.

"Oh. I know how you feel Sir Nicholas." She told the ghost. While Sir Nicholas has to deal with Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore, she has her own thorn in her side, Henric Nicolei. "Thank you, kind Sir." The Prefect gave him a polite nod. "Well, here's to hoping we win that House Cup again this term." She raised her empty goblet. There's a saying that its a bad luck to toast with an empty glass but she never really believe in that kind of stuffs anyway.


----


Then she heard their Head of House was yelling something about suit. What now? She turned her attention towards the Staff table just in time to see Flamsteed going down. And Trixie went into panic mode. That's a very good impression there, Professor Flamsteed. Fainting in front of this newly sorted students. Job well done, Sir!



She never really had a conversation before with Char before. She did see her around the common room and classes last term so she didn't know anything about the younger lioness but the girl seem cool enough in her eyes. And Candice saw the girl returned her nod with another nod before she started shouting and introducing her brother. Since she's too far at the end of the table she gave the younger Kettleburn a small wave and mouthed 'Welcome to Gryffindor'.

Two Kettleburns in the same house? This should be fun!



Here come another new firstie (Liv). A very excited first year if she might added. The girl was practically bouncing when she walked towards their table. What did these first years eat anyway? They seem to have an extra amount of energy. "Hello. Welcome to Gryffindor." She said to the little girl when she walked past her.

Candice was still trying to process what happen around her because there's too many shouting and stuffs when another kid (Matt) joined the shouting match. These kids have got to slow up with those candies! She gave the kid a 'Hello' nod.

Confidently, Vivie made her way towards her new family. They certainly differed to what she'd been previously used to at Beauxbatons but that excited the blonde more so. She was a brave one after all and thus anything anew tickled her taste buds, especially when it involved new muses for her sketching.

Once at the table, the sixth year ensured that she sat close to the crowd of students. This was not a situation to shy away, and again, why would she? It was time she learned how the other realm of magical institutions communicated. She hadn't always been a magnet in terms of friends at Beauxbatons, but that tended to change as she grew older. Perhaps the Hogwartians would like her as well?

"Hi, I'm Vivie." She arose her voice to ensure it was audible by those around her.

Rather conquer the crowd at once than have to introduce herself one by one. She was evidently used to this meet and greet thing. She did it more often than many others.

SPOILER!!: Alice

Some boy (Zeke) smiled and waved her way, so of course she did the best. Her blue eyes, scanning him and all the other older students. She would be like them one day, looking at the younger ones.

Then.. some girl.. Luckily another redhead, but even so.. she hugged Alice.. Alice was shocked.. what would she even say? The girl did say sorry.. "Oh.. well it's okay.. my name's Alice." Her Scottish accent popping out as she smiled.. The girl was older and pretty and what Alice hoped to be.

What made what float like that...?--Oh! She must have meant the quill. Blaise spared a quick glance at it, just to be sure he knew how closely it was hovering and to be sure no one had swatted it out of the way or anything.

"Magic. It's a charmed to do that whenever I tell it to. The quill's got a different kind of magic that makes it take down everything you say." Albeit somewhat different than you actually said it but after years of use, Blaise was typically able to decipher (with some error) what had actually happened when his quill took things down.

"It's great for making up adventures...not so great in potions class when you gotta make your notes REAL specific but still loads of fun."

SPOILER!!: Trixie

Of course she had absolutely nothing to worry about. Everyone at the Gryffindor table was so nice. So nice in fact, that an older boy was greeting her and asking her to be apart of an initiation.

"Really?" Trixie clapped her hand together in excitement. "What do I have to do?"

If the excited clap was anything to go off of, this was about to be another recruit for his cousin. Brilliant!

"Oh yeah, real easy initiation, you just gotta hurl food at anyone wearing a badge once the food appears after the speech. You can aim for the Head Boy 'cause his head's so big you can't miss it--or you could try for another table if you think your aims good enough." He himself would be trying for the Ravenclaw Prefect if he could, preferably with something sticky and hard to get out after even WITH magic.

"Harmless stuff really."

"Wait... what?" he leaned closer, lowering his voice, TOTALLY curious. "Did you have a plan or something?"

Because he certainly didn't.

"I'm happy you decided to ask." He said with a wide grin that promised he was up to no good. Blaise leaned in a little closer too, glad Lance could see the need for keeping things hush hush from the bigger heads.

"Got some Prefects who thought to start the term being right awful jerks to Bentley so we're gonna teach 'em a lesson. How? By throwing food at 'em when it gets here." Pause. "You like stuffing your robe with food, yeah?" Something his quill had picked up on when he hadn't. "Bet no one will notice in the middle of all the throwing." Perfectly foolproof. They had to do.

JUST THINK OF THEIR FACES COVERED IN MASHED POTATO!

SPOILER!!: Zeke before he leaves

And somehow he didn't think Candice would appreciate pudding in her hair, or Yoongi mashed potato on his face... as amusing as the idea was. If it were to happen though, he wouldn't object to being the first to break Blaise's conditions. The boys face would look great with a layer of cream.

He thought that was a no. It sounded like a no and Blaise was prepared to cut his losses until Zeke finally said he was in. PHEW. Good. Recruiting was hard after they passed Third Year and you had to do a whole lot more to be convincing. Still, he'd be happy enough to hear the boy was in before he took his leave of the table. Where was he going? Was he gonna come back in time?

Blaise gave him a small wave as he headed off, hoping he wouldn't forget.

SPOILER!!: Char and mention of Bastien

Wait what? Fun later?

"Sure!" Charlotte said immediately, having no need to actually ask what said fun would entail. She was up for it. FUN! YEAH!

See, this was what he could appreciate about Charlotte more often than not. She didn't even CARE what the fun was, she was already completely up for it and that was absolutely fantastic. One less person he had to actively think about ways of winning over for the cause.

For a moment, he was proper distracted by the way she was watching the sorting and even he had to admit he was interested in some of them--LIKE LOOK LIV GOT GRYFFINDOR WHICH WAS REALLY AMAZING AND NOT SLYTHERIN!

Her cousin was a Slytherin though, a Slytherin sitting right there at the Gryffindor table. Blaise gave him a smile and a small wave, casually wondering whether or not he'd have liked to be in on the plan too.

[Spoiler=Candice]

It was obviously true what they said about one good turn deserving another. There he'd just saved her from getting food all over and now she was offering him chocolate frogs. Merlin, he should try this savior thing more often if this was the outcome! "I'd love one!" Kid was practically bouncing where he stood now, all grins. "Do you have jelly slugs too? I'd love some if you did."

All the candy he'd bought on the train was meant for the feast but after another hour or so of nothing but country side, sheep and grass the poor boy couldn't help himself and had eaten it all.

"You're much nicer than Yoongi is." Said with the intention of the older boy hearing him. He WAS standing right next to him afterall--and was awful proud of himself for all this planning within earshot but still not being busted.

SPOILER!!: Liv and Char in here too

That was...until it came time to greet her new housemates.

HOUSE. MATES. GAAAH.

"HELLO, EVERYONE!!!" Liv bounced along, pausing here and there to fling her arms around random people. Her fellow Gryffindors. OH, and CHAR! 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.

After she'd spent herself in raining down her affections, the itty blonde FINALLY sat. "Guys...guuuuys..." There was a drop in her voice; so Liv could whisper. Lest anyone heard that wasn't supposed to...See, it wasn't her plan. Therefore, not her place to blab! "...are we still doing it?"

Mischief. ALWAYS with the mischief.

....Where was Bentley?

He wanted to say it was sudden--and it kinda was considering he was just asking for jelly slugs from Candice while throwing a nice shady palm tree above Mr. Head Boy--but from the corner of his eyes he HAD seen Liv heading down from the dais, hugging anyone close enough. Consequently, he wasn't completely caught off guard when she suddenly flung herself at him and there would be no toppling over for either of them. Strong Blaise was strong.

"Well it took you long to convince that dingy hat." He said with the widest of grins and a big hug for her. Now it was official. Now she never had to wear Slytherin robes again.

Her sitting should have been the invitation for him to finally take a seat as well but the boy remained standing where he was, choosing instead to lean closer for the hushed words spoken next. "O'course we are. Nothing's gonna change our minds." And not with the way Yoongi was being right now. The boy's attention shifting to Char and he suddenly remembered that she'd agreed without even listening to the fun. Right. Someone had to clue her in. "We're gonna attack the Prefects with food because they were rotten to Bentley on the train--like a food fight."

By now he gave very little caution to what he said, afterall, he'd been discussing it all evening while standing next to the Head Boy who had nothing to say. Older kids never paid attention.

SPOILER!!: Ava

Wasn't prefect supposed to be nice and helpful to the younger ones? She didn't really like when those guys who're supposed to be good role model turned into a jerk. They're like... using their authority for a bad thing. "Okay, then.. I'm still in." She nodded to him.

"Great! We begin as soon as Moxley gives her speech!" Not by choice per say but because there would be no food until then. Plenty of time for the Prefects to atone for their nasty ways but he didn't see that happening with either Ravenclaw Prefect and those were the first two he would target.

"What'd you think Professor Airey will say?"....If he could still speak...uh....what was happening with their Head of House and could it continue until after the food fight?

Just saying.

SPOILER!!: Amur

Once tuned in, it was hard to tune out. And Amur WANTED to. Very badly. They were speaking quietly enough, but every now and then above the din and roar of the great hall, Amur caught one to a few of the uncomfortable words going between them.

It had her shifting and looking for some distraction, ANY distraction, for her little ears. Thankfully, there was Blaise. Un-thankfully, he didn't make her feel any less confused about things. For a moment, she sort of blinked at him. Sure, she liked fun. She liked food fights too. Especially with so many people. But, did Blaise realize that socking the Prefects and Head's was akin to socking the Professors? Did Blaise realize that it would probably make them turn their noses up MORE at the younger kids? Especially if no words were spoken?

She was confused. Conflicted. TORN APART!

Her expression showed it all, as she shifted again. "....Why not...try talking to them first?" And talking as in angry yelling and arguing, because of COURSE there was injustice here. "They may not....get the point if you don't do that first."

Cause, well really WHO could say no to a food fight? But, perhaps she was going to? Perhaps, this would be the FIRST TIME.

She didn't know. She really didn't know. And there were so many people joining them now. A lot of excited voices, a happy backdrop to the misery she could FEEL radiating from the turned back of Zeke. Amur shifted, and tried to look around for some happy to latch onto. There was Headless Nick! And other people she knew by name, but didn't really know.

And there was suddenly no Zeke beside her. No Zeke at the Gryffindor table. No Zeke in the dining hall at all! Amur stared after him for a long moment, torn between jumping up and running after him and well, feeling like her butt was glued to the seat. Turning slowly, Amur peeked over at Maggie, not wanting to look too intrusive. She hadn't heard a LOT, honestly, but....she'd heard more than she should have.

Biting her bottom lip, Amur quickly looked to her plate and poked it. Where was the food and the speech?

"Talking never works. Not with older kids. They just ignore everything you say--some tell you plainly that they don't wanna talk to you so you better shoo and others don't even bother they just walk away." But he didn't expect her to understand because she WAS an older kid afterall. "Bentley was only trying to talk to them earlier and they got rotten about it. I think we're passed the point of verbal communication."

He didn't wanna talk to them, he didn't think he liked them enough now that he knew they were being mean to his cousin.

The way his brows had been knitted, you would never guess that they would suddenly relax. "Unless....unless....Amur you may have a point! We can tell 'em we wanna talk, then ambush 'em and make SURE they look as loaded as the feast. That's smart work! I should talk to Bentley about it." It'd be easier access than throwing from across the Great Hall too--though he was still prepared to do so if Bentley declined.

SPOILER!!: Yoongi

Besides, the kid had legs himself, if he wanted food so bad he could get it himself. His Head Boy status did not mean he had to run errands to keep the younger ones pleased. “Just wait like everyone else” No more whining. And again he had no clue about his clean comment so he chose to ignore it. Probably some slang.

And then there was the Head Boy he was still standing next to in a vain hope of getting some food out of him. At least Candice had been nicer and offered him a chocolate frog, when would Yoongi prove useful to him? Blaise regarded the older boy and the way he seemed to be growing tired of him--hopefully all things his quill was scribbling down.

"I am waiting." He told him in his most matter of fact tone. "Waiting very patiently." Though perhaps for very different reasons. When the food came, he wouldn't be EATING it, Yoongi's face would be and his clothes and his hair and everything on the Head Boy for that matter.

"It's just taking longer than I'd like. Do you have candy?"

SPOILER!!: Bentley

"Unfortunately not, but I'm going to see what I can do once I'm done sorting out the legs of the prefects at our table."

He'd need to stick his head up a few times to see who certain feet belonged to though so that he didn't get the wrong people.

"Keep recruiting. I'm getting back to work.."

The second year crawled on his knees and headed back up the table towards the prefects with his wand clutched between his little fingers.

Now...where were those prefect feet?

Though his cousin had told him to continue recruiting, Blaise couldn't help but think that Amur might have had a point. This was like casting themselves in the legs attacking the Prefects in plain view of the Professors and while Blaise didn't particularly mind that bit, he'd like to know that if he was gonna get in trouble then he had to get EVERYONE on his list.

"While you're working figure out how we're gonna get the Ravenclaw Prefects." He muttered before seeing his cousin off.

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?"



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.

*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.

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.


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.

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

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.



....?? 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.

Wow, Gryffindor? Gryffindor!

Sam had gotten Gryffindor.

With the way the Sorting Hat had been brainstorming on his head, he was almost sure that he'd be placed in Ravenclaw. Hence, the look of (excited) shock was still present on the eleven-year-old's face when he approached his new house table.

He was grinning and looking around at his new housemates as he looked for a place to sit.

Okay okay do this was that special Headmistress speech thing right? Okay yeah....Tory moved left then back, then he took his seat once more ad instructed. Then the Headmistress explained she was interim...Mmmhmmm Mmmhmmm okay new professors Professor Primeaux and the Ugly Hag.....


...

PROFESSOR PRIMEAUX!?!? WAIT WHO!?!

Torrance looked around the Gryffindor table to see if he could spot Kaleb, did he know!? Could he see Benton from here to the Hufflepuff table!? No okay well which Primeaux was it!?

UNCLE JULIEN!!!

UH UH UH UH OH NO was he here to keep Torrance in check! Was he here by Grandpa's orders to take on the Charms position. No no No. Tory put his head down then lifted it back up to see if Maybe it was just some mistake. Perhaps he misheard the Headmistress and now it would be some other guy.

NOPE still Tall Bald and Scarey Uncle Julien. Oooooooh he must have heard him deny the Hats attempt to go to Ravenclaw! He had to make up for that!!

That was an absolutely BRILLIANT speech. Know why? Because in the next second there was food.

Sure there was a Hag that would be teaching them, and yes that one Charms guy looked like he was straight out of the Military (guess who'd be skipping his class--THIS GUY) and yes Airey was out (Thank Merlin, you answer prayers, no cuffs for this Gryffindor) but right now, all Blaise saw was the food and quite unceremoniously he grabbed a bit of mash from a plate nearby and slopped it against Mr. Head Boy's.

THAT was for being mean.

Wasting little time, The Gryffindor grabbed said plate of mash and hopped onto the seat he was meant to be sitting on. "Go go go! Bentley, get up here!!" Gryffindor male Prefect not in sight just yet, and Candice was too nice to be attacked so the boy began hurling food both toward thw Slytherin table and the Ravenclaw one, knowing just the Prefects he had in mind.

Unfortunately his aim wasn't all that great and he sometimes hit others but LIVES HAD TO BE LOST DURING WAR AND A LITTLE MASH POTATO NEVER HURT.

Ahem. Food fight?
