| | |  Entrance Hall
 Whether you are brand new to Hogwarts or have been here a while, the Entrance Hall is always a breath-taking sight to see. Always memorable are the high ceilings, the colourful portraits on the walls, and the grand marble staircase. Various torches light the large room, keeping it nice and cozy at all times of the year. Arched windows atop the staircase, featuring the four Hogwarts Founders in all of their glory, bring in natural lighting as well.
This room is the gateway to the rest of the castle; however, those parts are temporarily off-limits until Headmaster Trent dismisses the student body from the Start-of-Term Feast for bed. Of course, you are more than welcome to slip out of the Great Hall to use the restroom in the corridor a few doors down or take a short break from the crowded room after the speech has been given. Not much is happening out here besides a team of house-elves taking everyone's luggage to the appropriate dormitories. Don't linger out here too long; you have a feast to enjoy.

Well, she'd done it. Bernadette had braved the consequences and the dark and stormy lake at this hour and had ridden the first-year boats across the lake to Hogwarts. She'd been quite inspired by this old song stuck in her head: You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to boat, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, you better! And so she'd taken it. She was a bit lost now, and of course, rather wet from the spray off the lake; her palms were sweaty, knees were weak, her arms were heavy with her wet robes, but she was here!
SHE WAS HERE AT HOGWARTS!
At last!
The view from the boats had been SO WORTH IT. She had a million mental pictures of her new home and was feeling SO inspired and excited for the school year now.
Wisely or so she thought, the second year had snuck away from the pack of firsties waiting to be sorted, and had made her way into the entrance hall. She was sure there was a bathroom off the corridor here, somewhere, and her plan was to go in there and dry off a little before she rejoined her older housemates at the Gryffindor table.

It was all so perfect. the castle was just as Yoyo had always hoped it would be, huge and ancient and beautiful, and dramatic, and enchanted in every possible way. Her heart had not slowed since she’d jumped off the train, in fact- it only beat all the faster, and faster, and faster.
And now? now she was looking at the Great Hall. she’s read about this place a MILLION times. It was the scene of so many cool adventures both real and fake, and although neither her mother or father had attended this place Yoyo felt immediately at home. Yes, this was /just right/.
Beaming, bristling, and bright, Yolanda Luna stood back as the others rushed in. she needed to memorize every detail of this perfect moment.

Phoebe was crashing along the corridor, having left the Great Hall to check on her trunk, and she nearly ran over Yoyo standing there. Just... standing there. She was missing everything.
The blonde threw her arms around her friend and sQUEEeeeezed hard. Hullo, friend! "You're going to miss dinner. And probably a speech, but at least we'll understand it this time and it'll be directed at us and in English. You can sit by me if you're allergic to Badger fur." See how funny she was?

A squeeeezeeeeeeee- she knew that squeezeeeeeee. Yoyo's arms wrapped around her blonde friend, the actions lifting her veil and bringing the little witch back to the present. "I can hear the speech just fine from here, you're the one who was all the way way out there." she pointed out, still holding the gryffindor. She pouted, Phoebe's words reminding her they wouldn't all be seated together now that house tables were back. "Can I actually sit over there?" not that she'd abandon Flynn. "Isn't there some kind of rule?" question mark, question mark, question mark.
