"You said it right" he said. He said as he turned to Emmylou next. "Maybe a bit different but i think it's your accent so i'm not mad" it was hard to stay mad at anything for long. Anyways, it seemed that the girl looked like she wanted to jump up and down for whatever reason but held it in to look more her age. She was excited for his sorting. Merlin's beard he was excited about his sorting! "It's..." he looked around the Great Hall for a moment, searching for words that could describe how he felt so far. "magnificent, like me" yes, he totally just said that with a straight face and now looked at the Staff table. "Is the woman with the red hair the Headmistress?" he asked out of the blue.



Raising his eyebrow at the irritated tone of NataliA, Yoongi then laughed as the girl called him Yoonfoo. "Are you for real? at least Natalie is a real name unlike Yoonfoo" and he too showed off a big grin to show that he was just joking as well. "But really, don't ever call me that please" it sounded like food... "What year are you in?" he asked.




living person? did that ghost just made a lame joke? Yoongi stared at him for a moment and then opened his mouth again. "I'm Yoongi, Sir Ghost. nice to meet you" this would be a good time to tell him his name as well because he obviously couldn't be called Sir Ghost. Or maybe that WAS his name! How awesome would that be? Awesome like himself that's for sure.




ASKLLAKGHFJSFJOSFG HUFFLEPUFF HOUSE! Yoongi wipped his head in Adi's direction as he spoke and followed his finger to the black and yellow clothed table. "I wanted to get in to Hufflepuff when i heard about the Houses" he said looking back at the Prefect again. "But the Hat had other plans apparently" he sighed maaaaybe just a little but he figured he just had to deal with it. 'Cause so far, Gryffindors seemed like a nice bunch of people. "I went to Charm's school in Great Britain" he answered. "It's a school that specializes in charms obviously" he added because people seemed to like asking what Charm's school was.

"Thanks. I'm Lance," he said, feet tapping excitedly yet lightly on the ground. "Hey, erm, AJ? If this is the best house, what are the other houses like?"



HE was awesome?

Well, he'd like to think so himself, though he'd never really been categorized as that by others. It was, actually, a really good feeling. The young lad sat up a little straighter, toes wiggling in his shoes. "You're awesome too, Marsha."

In case she didn't already know that.



He was quite fond of his name too, though didn't really think about it much until he had to introduce himself to someone new. "Thanks," he grinned, quite proud of the name his mother picked for him. "You have a cool name too."



Ew, onions.

Though he couldn't even be properly disgusted because of the fact that the ghost was literally right in front of his face. RIGHT there. He could just reach out and touch him if he wanted to. Was that possible? To touch a ghost? The young lad's eyes never blinked, nor moved from their wide position. He may have even stopped breathing too, he wasn't sure. There was a ghost in front of him, who could even THINK during a time like this?

Wait. Oh man. Oh man oh man-

"Yes, sir," he nodded hesitantly despite his squeaky confident tone, gripping the bench even more, "Anything at all...sir."

Ohmanohmanohman.



It was totally cool with how many people he got to talk to already, and most of them being older and more awesome students. He couldn't keep the smile from his face, and the greeting from ANOTHER older student was no exception. "The best house ever, right?" he grinned, tapping his fingers on the table, ignoring the way his stomach growled.

That was, at least, what he's been repeatedly told so far from the others.



His guilty expression turned into a small smile, a short chuckle escaping him. The girl's laugh was a bit contagious. "Um... yeah! I suppose. Red and gold are cool colors. Plus, I mean, Marsha is here, and Zac...and you, so," he shrugged his shoulders, glancing down the table, up and around, and back to Evie. "How 'bout you?"



Dinner first?

His expression fell slightly as he slowly sat back down. He'd seen a few others already leaving towards the entrance to the Great Hall, and he'd hoped to follow them to make sure he was going in the right direction. Plus, he wanted to get a GOOD pet rock.

"Yeeaaaah, I suppose," with a quick look towards all the adults up at the front, he plopped himself back down on the bench. When was dinner going to begin anyways? Did they bring out the food? Did they have to get up and go get it themselves like a buffet? Would there be things he liked to eat that didn't involve onions??

If she wanted to know the actual odds she was sure she could ask was of those eagle kids. In fact she had a sister in that house. Only thing was that she really didn't give a hoot about the odds. Where was the fun in that? See how easily distracted she could become? Now where was she?

Ah!

"Perfect." They were in agreement. The whole food thing needed to happen before she could come up with some super sweet plans. Although, she didn't wanna plan too much because that would be boring. She was more of try it out and hope for the best kind of girl.



So far AJ was loving the spunk of the new lions. This is just what Gryffindor needs after that devastating lost last year. Ugh. she couldn't even think about it. Losing was not okay, and she needed to move her little thought process on. "Hi Marsha." Oh wow! The younger lion already had so many friends. AJ smiled at each one that she introduced to her. "Sup?" Hopefully there were all as cool as Marsha seemed to be.

AJ laughed. "Getting lost is part of the fun. There are so many cool and hidden spots in the castle. I highly recommend getting lost." Oh wait, she couldn't let the firstie go on not knowing a certain little detail. "Try not to get lost before class though. I once got out of trouble be meowing for being late, but if you are late in Bellaire's class she will eat you." No lie.



There just wasn't enough of her to go around. Only she did have a twin, but nobody would believe that Angel was AJ. Not if they knew her well at all. There would be plenty of time to catch up with the others that she hadn't got a chance to speak to just yet at the after party. There was always one of those. AJ noticed the nod returned, and she gave her attention to her house ghost.

"We have it in the bag this year." They just had to. AJ would make sure to not lose any points this term. Well, that might be taking it a bit too far. "Losing is no fun." That was the understatement of the century. AH! AH smacked her forehead with her palm. "Oh course. I'm sorry Sir Nicholas. I forgot. I love using nicknames." In fact she insisted that nobody call her Aubrey. It just sounded weird.



This was one of the first times when she didn't stay seated beside Adi at the feast. It was as if she couldn't stay still with all of the sugar coursing through her veins. Not to mention that she was super pumped by the new firsties. They were going to have this cup in the bag. She was sure of it.

AJ tried to catch Adi's eye, and when he seemed to be looking in her direction she have him a warm smile. As soon as everything got settled down, she would back by his side once more.



There was Cinnamon. AJ really liked the older girl. In fact there wasn't anybody that she really didn't like. Well, other than Ian and Bellaire, but no need to go there during such a happy time.

"My summer was lots of fun. How about yours? How does it feel being a sixth year now?" Another friend that was going to graduate before her. Did she have any friends her own age?




"Hi Lance." He seemed to be hesitant at first, but AJ just brushed it off as him being overwhelmed with everything going on. Already he kind of reminded her of Zander.

If? IF? No. Just no. "There's no question that this is the best house." People said that it was a matter of an opinion, but she knew better. Fact was fact. "Well, Ravenclaw are full of super smart people. So if you need to borrow notes, they are your best bet. They can be a boring lot though. My sister is in that house and one time I didn't see her for weeks. I'm pretty sure her nose was in a book the entire time." B-O-R-I-N-G! "Hufflepuff's are full of super happy and helpful people. If you think Gryffindor's are nice, try multiplying that by a thousand and you get a puff. They are the second best house." As far as Slytherin goes...

"People told me they are really mean, but I haven't met a mean one yet. This one kid let me dangle of his plank in class. I think you have to be related to the snake dud to get in that house though." She took a breath because when she started it was hard to stop.



"Oh yeah. Adi was practically a zombie last year. How did you do on your OWLS?" AJ was sure that she did well, but it was still polite to ask. AJ had only one more year before she would have to endure them herself. Yikes.

"Umm...I dunno. I'm kinda just stuck in the middle. I'm not one of the young ones anymore and I'm not considering a old one either. I bet this is what it feels like to be the middle child."

I can’t wait to see what the tower is like!” She nodded her head, ”My aunts and uncles all loved Gryffindor - though I’ve had family in every house, so I would have been happy anywhere - even if I did really want to end up in Gryffindor!” She babbled. Again. Whoops.

Oh look! More people were welcoming them to the school. She had been worried that her aunts and uncles had been lying to her when they had said that everyone was so nice. BUT apparently they were. Grinning some more, the Welsh girl waved back at the Hufflepuff who introduced himself as Aditya - oh no. Adi. ”Thank you! It’s nice to meet you Adi.” And smile to the nice girl (Cinna) too! ”I’m Marsha!” She felt bad for calling over the table, but he had started the conversation so that made it okay… right? Sure.

Marsha couldn’t help how much she was grinning right now - and Lance just added to that - he was so adorable and funny! ”Thank you! I do try!” Hehehehe. She didn’t really try to do anything other than be herself. Wasn’t that how you were supposed to be with friends?

Nodding in response to Evie’s question, she laughed a little. ”Any house would have been fine, I have aunts and uncles in the top few years - at least one person per house so I constantly get told how amazing all of the houses are.” She couldn’t help the giggle that left her lips.”But it is a matter of pride, and I’ve wanted to be a Gryffindor for as long as I can remember. Plus, I agree with Lance, all of my new friends are in this house - that just makes it even better.” Add to that the small fact both of her parents were Slytherins, a fact she found hilarious. She couldn’t wait to let her parents know.

Marsha nibbled on her bottom lip as she watched Lance sit back down as she said that they should wait until after they had eaten. ”Though… food seems to be taking forever so maybe we would have time buuuut because it hasn’t started yet maybe it will be starting soon.” Darn, why didn’t she know how long it would take for food? Why hadn’t she thought to ask her older relatives… Silently, she wondered if Hayley would know, and she sent another curious glance in the brunette’s direction...Could she interrupt her conversation to ask?

Looking back towards AJ, Marsha giggled. "Not much, just super hungry!" She informed the older Gryffindor. "Oh, is it? Woah, can you show me? Maybe I'll have to just start walking around the corridors--.... at the weekends." She added quickly when AJ said to not try it before class. Which was completely sensible - because being late to classes didn't seem like a sensible thing to do... She would have to try and remember the school corridors so that she wouldn't get lost anyway - the castle looked and felt HUGE to the almost-twelve year old. "Woah! Who is Bellaire?" She had heard the name before, but she couldn't remember what the witch taught.

Cause that would be bad if he had, wouldn't wanna be remembered for scaring people.. though that might not necessarily be a bad thing. Oh! older kid is talking now.. Tyler looked to where this older kid was pointing, hold up! did this kid just say he knows one of the professors? They were friends? He wondered what it was like to be friends with a professor. "That is so cool! I don't know anyone here so I find it cool that you know someone. Then again you probably been here a couple of years so know a lot more people than you did when you first joined." He couldn't wait to get to that point where he could actually enjoy being here cause right now he wasn't enjoying it much at all. He was just sitting there at the Ravenclaw table doing nothing at all. Tyler then realised that he had not introduced himself, not a good start at all. He might be know as the little kid if he didn't introduce himself, that was not what he wanted to be labelled as "Sorry, I'm Tyler, newly sorted Ravenclaw. What year are you in?" he asked this kid, holding out his hand for a shake, would be awkward again if this older kid didn't shake on it. Not like they were shaking on a deal or a bet though. He seemed like a nice kid and one to have on your side.



Oops had Tyler said anything out loud? he couldn't remember but maybe he had. "Nice to meet you Sir Nicholas, Im Tyler.. newly sorted Ravenclaw." See he had made a note of the correct way to address Sir Nicholas Nick He probably wouldn't forget this conversation anytime soon, wouldn't want to get on the bad side of a ghost anyway who knows what he could do. Dreaded thinking about that
