He had never really noticed how well all the Gryffies seemed to get along...no one was ever really arguing with each other. Except Cale and Anna that one year. THAT had been entertaining! "We all get along pretty well. I know Chris from Quidditch and Daphne from class...and we have a LOT of great new students this term," he added with a head nod. A gleam appeared in his eye as he pictured winning BOTH cups...oh, how wonderful that would be!

Rafe rubbed his chin. He did have quite a bit of stubble, he was meaning to shave, but it grew faster on night's like tonight. He quickly glanced up at the head table, he wondered how the Headmaster and...he looked down the line of professors and tried to figure out who...ah... he recognized her immediately, she looked more sullen than the rest. He was curious how they handled things.

"Well, I got in a bad mix up with a hormone spell," Rafe laughed as he rubbed his jaw, he felt a bit uncomfortable lying about it, but it was something his mum made him promise to do. People won't except you, she kept reminding him right up until he stepped unto the train.

"I should have guessed you for a Quidditch man! Keeper?," Rafe had a quizzical expression on his face. "Chris told me I should try out! I think...well, I know I most certainly will! Don't really know what position I'll play, but I'm really excited." Rafe began to sniff the air over-dramatically. "Do you smell that?" He sniffed once more then broke into a roaring laughter. "It's the smell of a Gryffindor victory! Hip-hip-hurray!" He definitely thought Gryffindor had a winning chance after meeting Chris and Jack. Even if he didn't make the team he would definitely support his house!

He knew a few people in Gryffindor already, but he couldn't find them anywhere. So instead he sat down by himself, glancing around at his fellow house mates. They were all so much bigger than him! It was intimidating, and he tried not to make eye contact with anybody.

Tori was becoming whole as she swam deeper into the wizarding world, a Gryffindor student of Hogwarts. She sat smiling as she watched the other first years get sorted.

"Oy! Fellow firsties! Why don't you come over here and join the fun!" Rafe shouted at the end of the table at two firsties who just got sorted. He was relieve to see another first year boy, it seemed like girls dominated among the first years...not that he was complaining.

LAcey walked into the great hall and found a seat by a first year and a few students her age. "Do mind if i sit here?" She asked politly to the guys. She pushed a few stray locks of her blonde hair out of her face and flashed a genuine smile. She wanted hang out with some guys for once, the train rode here was lonely.

Alexandra looked up when another First Year approached and sat near her. "Hullo! I am Alexandra. What's your name?she said shyly.

"I feel ya," Jack said with a sigh, rubbing his stubbly cheek. He had been growing facial hair consistantly since his second year, much to his displeasure. His younger brother Justin had been just as unfortunate as well. If only he had inherited his great-grandfather's hair...not only would he be BLONDE but he would have virtually NOTHING on his face and it would make life so much easier. Noooo, Jeremy had been the lucky Fritzera to inherit THAT gene.

"Quidditch Captain, actually," he said with a wink. Tee hee. He still loved the way that rolled off his tongue. "Actually no, I'm the Seeker...for now at least. Who knows? I might find someone faster," he added with a grin. "And you should DEFINITELY try out. We lost a lot of good players, and our team hasn't been the same since '68." he said with a sigh. Nooo, that was all going to change this year. Especially since all these first years were like ZOMGQUIDDITCH!

He laughed. This kid was cool--they definitely needed more people like him in Gryffindor. "I'd love to win BOTH cups this year...I don't remember the last time I saw the Quidditch Cup, but we won the house cup three years ago...I want it AGAIN, though," he said with an evil smirk. Ravenclaw could just TRY and keep up with them this year. Hehe.

"Hello,nice to meet you Alexandra. I'm Tori." she replied with a warm smile,"Do you want to join them? I mean it is an invitation to 'join the fun."

Lacey was gonna try again. "Is it okay if i sit here?" She asked. She flashed her teeth once again. "You're Quidditch captain? That is so cool!"

When somebody started shouting, Danny jumped. Why was he shouting at him? He then realized he was inviting him over to where he was sitting. Tentatively, the small first year stood up and sat down next to him. Giving the boy a shy smile, he set his hands in his lap, watching the other kids converse. A piece of his light brown hair fell in front of his eyes, as one of the boys started talking about quidditch.

Dude, THE Quidditch Captain was talking to Rafe Lycaon, he felt like he could faint. "That's bloody fantastic!" And not only was Rafe Lycaon talking to THE Quidditch Captain, but THE Quidditch Captain thought he should try out. "You really think so. I mean Chris said that age doesn't really matter, but I thought he was just being nice. But you really think so? That's just wicked! I guess I'm just going to have to! I've been on a broom, since like birth...well, only cause my mum had to flee Romania...but still! I can't wait. Any ideas when you'll be planning try-outs?" Rafe assumed Jack would be in charge, it was only logical. But, no telling who he would be up against. He didn't actually have the playing experience, but he definitely had skills on a broom.

Slytherin who? He couldn't be more proud to be a Gryffindor! Rafe pretended to raise a glass. "Long live Godric Gryffindor! Let us make him proud this year with winning both the House and Quidditch Cup!"

Rafe was wondering if she heard him, but she seemed to have made her own acquaintance. He simply smiled and was still offered a welcome to join with a nod.

A piece of his light brown hair fell in front of his eyes, as one of the boys started talking about quidditch.

Rafe patted the small firstie on the back. "Salut mate! Well, I mean we might as well be mates, because right now I think you and I are going to be the only fellas in Gryffindor that are firsties. We're surrounded by beauty though, every where you look!" He said as he smiled at the two first year girls at the other end of the table. "Cum vă numiţi? Sorry, I mean, what's your name? I'm Rafe, Rafe Lycaon."

Jack looked up and saw another girl had joined the table--ANOTHER transfer? Wowwww. Gryffindor was just getting a TON of new people this term! It ROCKED! "Sure, sit down," Jack said, scooting to make room. "And yes, that's me!" he added with a little grin. "Jack Fritzera--Quidditch Captain at your service!"

"Yeah, it doesn't matter at all," Jack assured Rafe. He could have been five for all he cared--if he could fly and hold his own against Willow Kovac, he'd be all good. "Our old Head Girl played for seven years! I have no clue when I'll hold tryouts yet...sometime in the beginning of term. I like to start early so we can get a lot of practices in," he explained with a smile. Jack hadnt actually HELD tryouts last year, that had been Paris...gulp. It shouldn't be any different than practice, right? Right.

This kid was cool! And had a lot of house pride right off the bat...oh yeah, they were SOOOO winning BOTH cups this year. He had a feeling.

He blinked as Jack started talking to the new girl who had approached them. WHOOOOOA what language had that been? It was cool sounding! "What was that?" he asked. "Is that what they speak in Romania?" he asked. What was the language called there? Romanian? Or was it something else? He had nooooo idea. He was totally lost when it came to languages that weren't English. Even when his gran tried to speak German to him, he was lost. Hallo was all he knew. Didn't really help conversation at all.

Rafe admired Jack as he included "Quidditch Captain" with his name to the newcomer. Rafe pictured himself saying that in a couple of years. That's would be so awesome! Rafe thought he should introduce himself too, even though he didn't have a cool title. "I'm Rafe Lycoan, at your service," he did a little salute, "Îmi pare bine." Rafe said in his native tongue with a smile.

"Wow, she must have been really good," Rafe said with a glow on his face. How awesome would it be to play all seven years he was at Hogwarts!? The thought was a bit overwhelming. Hmm...sometime early in the season. "Well, you can definitely count me in! Do you think we could practice beforehand... I mean not like me and you, I don't want it to look like favoritism...not that you...," he could feel his face turning bright red, "I simply meant if we, as individuals wanted to practice before tryouts would that be okay?" Rafe wiped his forehead. That felt like forever to come out with such a simple bloody statement.

"Are you talking to me?" Rafe asked in confusion about the Romanian. Well, it had to have been he didn't hear anyone else speaking Romanian. "I was born in Romania, and my mum raised me to speak Romanian. I actually don't know who my father is..." Rafe frowned, he did feel a little resentment towards him, especially on nights like tonight. Luckily, his mum stocked him up on Wolfsbane potion, so he had nothing to worry about, or so he hoped."Mum doesn't like to talk about him much. Anyways, I've been traveling around the world since birth. Speak about 7 different languages. Mum thinks it's important to understand other people's cultures." It was true, he hadn't lived in a country for more than a year. It was nice to finally settle down a bit in England.

Danny almost flew into the table as the boy started patting him on the back. He knew the boy hadn't meant to set him into the table. It was his small frame to blame. As the boy said they were going to be the only first year Gryffindors, Danny shook his head. "My friend Orlando is in Gryffindor too! He is a first year." he piped up. Then he began to blush at his outbreak. He turned redder when the boy said something about the girls being pretty. If Legend ever heard him saying girls were pretty he would definitely get mad. According to Legend, all girls had cooties. Then again Katie said boys had cooties. It was a confusing conversation to have with both of them together.

Tilting his head confusedly at the boy as he started to speak another language, Danny said in a soft voice, "Excuse me?" He then waited as the boy introduced himself as Rafe Rafe Lycaon. That's odd. he never knew anybody who had their middle name exactly like their first name. "My name is Danny Logan Edwards." he replied. Would he find him weird because his first name didn't match his middle?

"Sixth," Jack said with a nodd. "Are you a transfer?" he asked, although he was sure the answer would be yes. After all, this dude was clearly way too old to be a first year. In fact, he looked to be about his age. That was good--their year was severely overpopulated by females. It was maddening.

It was true, he hadn't lived in a country for more than a year. It was nice to finally settle down a bit in England.

Jack tapped his chin. Hmmm, he didn't see anything wrong with a little extra practice. He shrugged and grinned. "If you can find time to, and you can get on the pitch without Vindictus finding out--and therefore MURDERING you--go for it," he laughed. Nah, Vindictus would never murder anyone. Or at least...he was pretty sure. "But yeah, I don't think extra lessons from the captain would be a good idea, but don't worry, everyone has an equal chance of making the team regardless of being first year or not," he told him. He wanted to keep everyone's confidence high. Plus they had a TON of first years on the team last term!

"Ahh, that stinks. I'm sorry dude," Jack said with a frown. Ummm...awkward moment in the conversation. Jack couldn't relate at all because--well, he had both parents. And FOUR siblings. Sure, they were anything but functional but at least they were there. "SEVEN? That's AWESOME! Do you know German? My grandma speaks that--she's kind of mad that I can't pick it up. It's not my fault I'm just not good at learning new languages so late in life!" he exclaimed. He had read somewhere that you learned languages best when you were little--hence why Rafe knew SEVEN and Jack knew ONE.

"That's wonderful! He should join us!" Rafe said cheerfully. It was so refreshing meeting new people. He was so surprised at all the other firsties and not just for Gryffindor.

"Ah! Well, D.L. Edwards, it's a pleasure to meet you! And sorry about the Romanian slip up, it's not like a light switch that I can turn on and off, a few words and phrases seem to slip through." Weird. Usually people just introduce themselves by their first and last name, not their full name. Would he have to do a background check later? He laughed under his breath. "We were just talking about Quidditch and the house cup and whatnot...Do you fancy yourself trying out for the team?" D.L. didn't look like much of a Quidditch player, he had a very slender build, but that meant he might have speed. Perhaps, Seeker would be a good position for him.

It's not my fault I'm just not good at learning new languages so late in life!" he exclaimed. He had read somewhere that you learned languages best when you were little--hence why Rafe knew SEVEN and Jack knew ONE.

Rafe couldn't join in with Jack with his laughter about sneaking onto the pitch. Usually that sounded ideal, but if that Vindictus guy was in charge he didn't stand a chance. "Ugh, Vindictus, I had a bit of a row with him at Diagon. So, you cast your friend in a body bind for a laugh and that's a bad thing! I thought it was rather funny, it's not like she got hurt or anything. He said I would be punished when I arrived. I'm hoping he'll just forget about it." Rafe's high spirit was dampered a bit. But, that wasn't going to stop him. If he wanted to make the team he would need all the practice he could get. "Ah...forget it! Some practice would do me good right?! And from the best, no doubt!" He winked at Jack.

Rafe was glad Jack didn't linger on the subject of his parents. It was a pretty touchy subject. It's not that he really minded, but it was too close to his secret that he promised his mum he wouldn't tell anyone.

"Do I know German?" Rafe said with a bit of sarcasm. He cleared his throat. "Guten Tag! Ich bin so begeistert von dieser Schule Jahr! Wir sind total geht auf den ersten Quidditch-Spiel dominieren!!" Rafe straightened up. he was pretty proud of himself. "Hey, it's not for everyone, it took some time, plus my mum wouldn't let me have dinner have the time until I would read of poem from Shakespeare in a different language!" Those days were brutal, but he learned quickly that way.

Orlando was staring everywhere. Here, there, everywhere.

Lips parted, eyes darting upwards - gazing up at the enchanted ceiling, Orlando wandered if it rained - will they get wet too? There was so much to see. Orlando was glad he had a whole year hereee, he needed time to witness every single cool thing here.

Feeling overwhelmed, the eleven year old - staggered over to the table, gaping at the floating candles, gaping at the very magical air around him.

“ .. so cool,” he muttered, grinning - before sliding into a seat. Only to be surprised - when he noticed Danny sitting, right next to him.

“DANNY!” the little boy, squealed, bouncing on his seat. “Do you seee? DO YOOU SEE? – Isn’t this all just so wickedCOOL!”

Danny smiled lightly when Rafe Rafe said Orlando should join him. If only he knew where that boy was. Orlando was almost as small as he was, so he was kind of hard to spot out in the sea of heads. A small chuckle escaped his lips when Rafe Rafe called him D.L. Nobody had called him that before. He kind of liked it. "You are Romanian?" he asked shyly. It was a stupid question he realized, and his cheeks began to turn crimson. Of course he was Romanian if he could speak it!

When the boy asked him if he would try out for the team, he quickly shook his head. "I'm not much of a sports person." he said a little embarrassed. Here he was sitting with the jocks and he could barely tell the difference between the Quaffle and the Bludger. "My sister used to play when she went here. She was a Chaser." That much he knew. He was proud that his sister was on the team, even if he would never be able to make it. Just something about being in the air, on a broom, with bigger people surrounding him scared him.

Jumping at the sound of his name being squealed, the tiny Gryffindor turned in his seat to find Orlando sitting next to him. A grin spread over his cheeks and he felt giddy. "We were just talking about you, Orlando." he chuckled lightly. He then turned his head to look at what he was pointing at. For the first time he noticed the cieling and how it looked like there was nothing there. But he had remembered seeing the roof before walking in. That was odd. It must be magic? "That is cool. Do you think it's real?" he asked curiously.

He then remembered something. "Orlando. This is Rafe Rafe. He is a first year too. Rafe Rafe, this is Orlando." Danny said, tapping Rafe Rafe lightly on the arm to get his attention. He seemed engrossed in a conversation with what he had caught as the Quidditch Captain.

Selena made her way to the Gryffie table, feeling slightly excited about starting a whole new school year. She spotted her Quidditch Captain deep in conversation with others, and so she sat down near them trying not to butt in at the wrong time. When Jack stopped for a breath, she smiled. "Hi, Captain. How have your summer been? Oh - did something happen? Why are you sporting a black eye?" The girl enquired, her head tilting a little like it always do whenever she's asking something. She had been relatively happier than she'd been for the last year in light of recent events: The two weddings in the summer that Lumiere and her attended as bridesmaids, and the fact that she have crash-landed into her first crush. Ever.

Even now, his gorgeous face burns into her mind, the words "Kristopher Smidcht" shining and sparkling like stars. She watched the line of people to be Sorted shortening and yet he was nowhere in view. Sel was pretty sure he was a transfer from Durmstrang - aren't transfers supposed to be Sorted, too? Still as she waited for Jack to answer, the second year and Gryffindor ex-Chaser couldn't take her eyes off the Sorting Hat, waiting for the moment to come. It would be awesome if he was a Gryffindor, her chances would be huuuuge. No, wait, I shouldn't think like that, I shouldn't feel extreme emotions! She glanced around; everything seemed to be relatively normal with students chattering away. Just a slip and nobody would ever be safe... And she could get sent to St. Mungo, away from this castle she had come to love as her second home.

Daniel came sprinting down from the gate towards his beloved house table. He was hungry at the same time he missed the castle. The smell of the blocks of the pillar wall. The ghosts that he adore, except for Peeves.

He sat at the table and looked around, he missed his friends and his four poster bed.

"Hello guys!" he exclaimed looking gleeful.

Josh smirked at the girl some ''I have much more lovely ones than that. But that's not the question, is it?'' Tthis girl seemed hard to understand. Well nearly all of the girls were hard to understand. He shrugged and turned to the captain boy.

''School broom?'' he repeated ''Does not sound fun. But i have not seen them yet and i dont want to be prejudicial. Obviously it sounds boring because of the word 'school'. Of course this school is way more than being boring but, ya know, the words school makes me think of classes and classes cannot be so fun really, wherever they are, am i wrong?''
his usual smirk still on his face, he blinked some at the boy. Than he remembered Rose again in a sudden and glanced towards the Slytherin table to see her.

Ellie ran to the Gryffindor table. "I'm in Gryffindor, I'm in Gryffindor!" she said, dancing a little before sitting down. "Oh, Daddy is going to be so proud, I must send him and Mummy an owl!" Realising she was talking to no one in particular, she just sat there smiling at everyone, probably creeping them out.

The smile crept back on to his face. "Yeah? Me too. Guess we'll be seeing each other around the dorms then." He paused, thinking that sounded a little weird. "And yes, I am a transfer I guess. I'm doing my final two years here instead of back home in Sweden. Not sure that I like the idea of that though yet," he trailed off, the tightness coming back to his eyes, then shrugged. He noticed Jack looked to be somewhat of an athlete and thought they'd probably have something in common.

Vaughn was pulled out of his musing and smiled and the girls enthusiasm. He sure wasn't that excited when he first found out he'd be going to a school of magic. Nor was he very excited now. But he was determined to not let his relocation stop him from training or practicing. He looked out the window at the lake and his smile broadened.

''Hey!'' Josh jumped on his feet as he saw another new student like him joined the table. He regarded her quite interesting since she seemed to be talking to herself, a good detail for someone like Josh who does not find ordinary people so fun. ''Hey! Welcome. Wanna hear something interesting?''

Vivianne sat at the Gryffindor table along with the line of lions comfortably seated with their own group of friends. She wasn't looking for a specific person but her bestfriend should be there now... and so where is she?

Where is Daisy? she had to turn her head to her left and right just to catch a glimpse of everyone. She smiled at the newly sorted Gryffindors, showing them that fellow Lions are approachable and are not going to bite.

As she heard a young girl shouting for joy for being sorted into the house, she couldn't help but grin. "Welcome to Gryffindor," she said to her as she beamed at her. There were new faces aside from the first years, but they're seemed to be transferees.

Being called "not Un-cool" by the Qudditch Captain, was certain not un-cool, Patroclus couldnt help but smile; the night was going so well.
He looked around to see if there were any other fresh faced first years to chat with.

"It's so nice to meet you Tori!"Alexnadra said perking up a bit. A wide smile stretched across her face and she nodded, "Yeah let's join them it could be fun!"she smiled mischieviously

"Thanks!" Ellie said, a big smile still stuck on her face. "My name's Ellie. Are you a first year? Sure I'd love to hear something interesting!"

"Thanks!" Ellie said. "Oh Daddy will be so proud. Oh, I'm Ellie by the way."
