Caolan had spent the entire train journey in a compartment by himself. He wasn’t sure whether that would be considered a good thing or a bad thing. He hated being lonely but all this was so overwhelming that perhaps being alone was the best thing for him to be on his first day of school.
He arrived in the Great Hall and looked around, taking it all in. The place was huge and so unlike what he was used to at home. His old school was just ordinary. It was modern and lacked any of this extravagance, no floating candles and sorting ceremonies. He’d been told by his grandparents how it all worked but nothing could really prepare him for this. The Sorting Hat was placed on top of his head and deliberated for a while mumbling about several houses that he could belong in before deciding on Ravenclaw. He could tell which table that was by the cheers and applause coming from the blue table. He shuffled in that direction, sitting on the right hand side and glancing at the students in his immediate vicinity.
There was a guy (Dorian) near him who looked around his age and a much younger girl (Kaira) who he had seen being sorted a while before him. “Hey..” First introductions were always so awkward. It was easier when you were younger and had no inhibitions but Caolan would turn 16 in two days and he found these greetings much harder than he used to. |
