" Hi.my name is William Montcenaggio but call me william Starr" he introduced himself to the girl. " Rose, you look just right for Gryffindor" William told her. " Your red hair probably cinched the deal" William laughed. " I am a sucker for girls with red hair" Wiliam said to Rose. " You are cute" Wiliam smiled at Rosse.
OOC- I know our charries might have met on the train, but the train is really officially gone.

Hugo hopped over to the Gryffindor table, hoping to find Selina or Kurumi. For a moment, he thought about searching for Adam, but then he remembered that Adam was gone. Forever. Without a proper goodbye. It suddenly made him sad to know that his only guy friends, the ones that he saw as his best mates, were not here. He sighed as he found neither Kurumi nor Selina and sat down. He was surprised that Kurumi wasn't there, she was always first to give out cookies to the houses and the teachers. Well... He might as well stay put. There was no need going back to a table where he knew noone.

"Erm..." Tayla raised her eyebrows. "Seriously?" she thought.

"Hello William Starr," Tayla replied, giving him a small smile but with her eyebrow still raised. "Tayla Barnhill. Pleasure..." She turned back to Lexi, leaving William's 'food' question unanswered.


"Sorry about that," Tayla said, getting back to her seat. She noticed Lexi's expression. "Hey, are you okay?" Tayla felt a little dumb. Lexi had bruises all over her face so no, maybe she wasn't okay. But still, it felt kinder to ask.

"Yay!, i'm in gryffindor!" thought Evie to herself. She pushed a loose piece of her auburn hair out of her face and went to find a seat, she hadn't really met anyone on the train so she was hoping to meet some new kids this year. Evie examined the Gryffindor table and found a spare seat next to a young girl who looked about her age. "Hi, my name is Evie may I please sit with you?"

Matilda to the girl: Are you talking to me?Sure you can sit with me. I am Matilda Green by the way and somehow I already knew that sortinghat would place me to Gryffindor because I have always thought that this is the best house.

Jai heard another person shouting. 'Wow, alot of shouting. Nice.'he thought to himself. He wasn't one to shout as he was a quiet and reserved kind of guy.

He smiled at the girl as he couldn't help it. Well, who could. The entire hall was buzzing with excitement. You'd be crazy not to show some teeth at some point. He had spent his summer roaming through Athens, Greece with his parents. It was nice there. It was one of his favourite places of all the places he visited with his parents while they worked.

Ella jumped down from the stool with a little bit of a smug smile on her pale face. She had just been sorted into GRYFFINDORRRR! Victory danceeee! She saw her five older brothers cheering for her as she took her place at the table. She had her hand shook by a few fellow Gryffindors, then the next people began to be Sorted.

Sipping on a goblet of pumpkin juice, Ella craned her neck desperately looking for her friends from the train.. or even Nika who she had met in the Leaky Cauldren. Sighing. she relaxed.. maybe they would find her. She smiled to herself, she was excited to get started!

*Matilda had been sorted earlier and was now sitting in the Gryffindor table when a girl which she had met in the train came to the table*

Matilda: Hi I think we have met I am Matilda Green from the train.

Ella looked up from her meal and smiled. Ah yes.. she remembered this girl. 'Hi Mtilda. I'm Ella, not sure if I told you on the train!' Smiling, Ella continued to look around for other people that she knew ormaybe new people, like her other housemates.

Lexi shook her head and smiled a little bit. "No worries. Gotta do what you gotta do, yeah," she said softly.

Then the question. Sighing slightly she nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just... a bit self conscious about my face and all. I mean the scar here is bad enough... these bruises just draw more attention... but oh well it'll go away," she said with a shrug as she pointed at the half moon scar under her left eye.

Looking about the table she spotted a guy smiling at her. Well that was nice... he looked new as well. Lexi gave him a wave of her fingers and returned the smile. He was welcome to come sit nearer, but she would leave that to him.

The very cheerful waved at Jai and returned the smile. He thought it would be a good idea to go over and say hello, instead of sitting there with a smile on his face. He rose from his seat and went over.

"Hey, do you mind if I sit here?"he asked indicating to an empty spot beside her."I"m Jai Pierce." He extended his hand to her as he spoke and delivered a smile along with it. He had met a number of people on the train but not many since he got here. Now he was meeting his house mates.'Good start to the year.'he thought to himself.

Matilda: Nice to meet you Ella. Nice name you have by the way.

'Oh, thankyou!' Ella replied, smiling at her. 'Your name is lovely too!'

Picking up her goblet she took another drink of pumpking juice, and helped herself to more of the delicious food surrounding her.

The LionLad was happy to see that a previously sad looking Lexi was pepping up a little, however the bruises on her face were very worry, but he wouldn't ask about them here, later in the common room, that was if she wanted to talk about them at all!

"Mother and Father loved you, it's all I have been hearing about ever since you left!" Patroclus was a good kid, but like all he had his moments, and whenever one of those occured one of his parents would say 'Why can't you be as polite as Lexi' Or 'Why don't you talk to us like Salander did, he was such a nice boy' It just went on and on! However it was with Jacob that Patroclus thought Pollux was willing to replace him with, his father found the EagleLad fascinating!

It seemed tans were at the top of everyone's agenda, "How awesome is that Island! And the Greek sun is the best for tanning!" Yeah Take that Evelyn, with whom Patroclus had an ongoing tan battle with. "Where's Salander? Back from the States yet?"

Spotting a splash of blue amongst the black and red that dominated the Gryffindor table, Patroclus of course turned to see who it was, he had to protect his borders from any attacks! However he was pleased to see it was Hugo! A close friend of Kurumi's and an all round good kid, "HUGO!" He called, waving the eagle over, "How are you my main man!" Third years already? They grew up so fast!

Thanks,do you like this food?I think this is awesome,I asked from her and then I started to pick diffrent sorts of food to my plate and started to eat them.

"Hey Rose, welcome to Gryffindor! Enjoying the Feast, eh?"

'Mmm!' Ella swallowed her mouthful and turned to Matilda. 'Yeah, it's lovely!'

Zara searched for someone to talk to as she stood up from her place and looked for a new place to sit. 'I wonder who could be my new friend.' She thought to herself. All her other friends were sorted into different houses, and Zara was kind of getting lonely. "Hm, Gryffindor, the brave of heart. Best known for courage." Zara murmured to herself quietly, "Then why can't I pluck up the courage to talk to anyone?"

"UGH!" She accidentally shouted loudly, and she saw heads that turned at her and eyes that were saying either the words, "Is she crazy?" or "What's wrong with her?"

Kurumi had been hanging out in the corridor outside the Great Hall ever since the train had arrived at Hogwarts. She had been unusually quiet on the ride over despite her best efforts to appear cheerful and happy to be back at school. However, her spirits were dark and she felt as fragile as a piece of glass as she finally took a few timid steps into the Great Hall. Her breath caught in her throat, and she swallowed hard as she made her way through the crowded room and found an empty seat at the Gryffindor table.

Sighing, she set the box of Gryffindor cookies she had baked just for tonight, just like she did each term, but....her heart just wasn't in it. Looking around the Gryffindor table, she kept hoping that she would see the red head boy who had become her constant and confidence, only to know that such attempts to find him were useless.

Adam was gone....there was nothing she could do to change that.

Frowning, Kurumi leaned her elbows on the table and simply stared at the crimson box filled with lion pride.

"Hello Ella, I think we met on the train. Welcome to Gryffindor by the way!"

As she heard somebody cry out, Ella put down her goblet and turned around. She saw a girl standing behind her; she looked of a similar age.. Another new Gryffindor? Ella shrugged, may aswell take the chance, eh?

'Erm.. hi!' Ella tried a small smile. ' Are you okay, would you like to sit with us?' she gestured to the space on the bench next to herself. 'There's plenty of room!' She grinned.


Waiting for the girls reply Ella heard somebody else greeting her. Turning round, Ella grinned when she saw who it was.
'Naw, look who it is! Sleeping beauty!' She burst out laughing. 'I'm only joking, fancy sitting with us?' Again she gestured to Matilda and the spaces on the bench.
'Yeah thanks, the hat was on my head for about two seconds! Said it new exactly where to put me.. it was suprised to see a girl, as there's five boys ahead of me' She grinned.

Zara blinked twice. Then, when she realized the girl was talking to her, she raised her eyebrows in surprise and her eyes widened. "M-me?" Zara asked, dumbfounded as she pointed to herself, emphasizing the question.

Cassie laughed and nudged him again with her soldier. Funny Jai Jai." Yup you definitely can, I'm always up for giving tours and such and as for the defense against the dark arts classes, I can tell you that they are nothing like the ones at Durmstrang. The ones here are really more theory than anything, though we do have a dueling room but we don't learn dangerous spells."

She looked at the boy who was completely new to Hogwarts but not new to being new and hoped that he really wouldn't be disappointed with Hogwarts because of his exposure to those other institution though she was sure that Hogwarts had it's own charm and appeal.

Ela was confused.. was she being sarcastic?
'Yeah, of course you!' She waved her hand for her to come sit. 'No need to be shy, we're all first years here!' She pointed to other people sitting around her.

"Alrighty. So, this is some mighty good food. Couldnt get any better eh?"
