Even just the entrance hall was pretty awesome and he stood looking around at the interior for a moment until he became increasingly aware of two things. One, he was rather hungry as his grumbling tummy told him and he had wished that he had saved some of his snacks or not eaten them all so early into the trip. And two, he could hear just beyond those doors what sounded like a whole lot of people. Of course he knew there were a lot of students, or at least he guessed, from the train. But, as he peered inside, the vast number became more apparent.
The thought of everyone watching him when he knew virtually no one made him slightly nervous, but the thought faded just a little as his eyes soon wandered around the great hall from the doorway. Floating candles and the ceiling looked just like the sky... amazing!
Noelle had practically fallen from the boats when trying to get through to the castle. She was lagging behind but definitely trying to catch up. She didnt want to miss all the craziness that was about to happen. Besides, she didnt know what was going to happen besides the Sorting Hat. That's all her mum had told her about. She was delightfully happy about the sorting hat. She was ready to be in Hufflepuff, like her mum, or in Gryffindor, like her mum thought she would be in.
She noticed a familiar face as she got to the doors. She looked over him as he peeked inside the doors. Noelle grinned and looked through to see what it was like inside as well. Lots of students. They made her heart race.... but in a good way. Excited way. She was ready to get on that stool sitting up there and have that hat put on her head. She wanted.. no.. NEEDED to know which house she was to be in.
Noelle looked at the boy.
"youre... I saw you on the train correct?" She asked smiling at him. She was loosing track of all the faces she was meeting.
"Are you nervous?" She asked not waiting for the question she asked to be answered. She saw the way he looked. She noticed him look up at the ceiling. Looking up, Noelle gasped.
"That.... is amazing." She said breathlessly.
