 Siobhan 'Hannah' Grey Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
Hannah giggled as she held out a hand so the little cat in Marine's arms could get a good sniff at her before attempting to pet it. "Okay," Hannah replied cheerfully, her violet eyes dancing with excitement. "Let's go before they're all full."
She followed Marine, taking care as she climbed into the boat. Having lived on the sea all her life, and been in boats before, Hannah knew to respect them, and the waters they traversed. Just because the inky black waters seemed calm didn't mean they weren't capable of swamping their small craft, or that there were not things living in their depths.
"Both my parents came here," she answered to Marine's question, "and so did Mother Grey, and my cousin's already here. Now I get to be here too; I can't wait to check out the castle." Hannah was excited, and she was thrilled she'd already found somebody else to share her big adventure with. Whatever concerns her cousin seemed to have were suddenly a million miles away.

When we went off away from the forest-
We did travel far to get a taste of so much more.
We dug up the roots of all the stories...
Put them in a pot and brought them to a fiery roar!
We fed on these things without a worry;
Never gave a thought to the coming of the winter storm.
Gone away, gone away, what was yesterday?
Make a meal, make a bed, tuck your feet in-
And resting elbows twice on a table can be nice;
But the comforts, they can be deceiving.  ᶜ ʸ ᴿ ᵁ ˁ
ᴱ ᶻ ᴱ ᴷ ᴵ ᴱ ᴸ

Cy had, to his disappointment, enjoyed a rather solitary train ride. He'd hopefully waited for someone to stop by his compartment on the train, but no one had, and he'd actually drifted off to sleep for a while, only to be roused when the train was pulling into the station. Hogsmeade Station had been, as everyone knew, the site of a rather grisly battle (or massacre, whatever you wanted to call it), which made it a point of fascination in Cy's head. He'd tried to see if there were any faded bloodstains on the ground, but it'd been too dark. Reluctantly, he'd been swept up by the crowd of first years headed down to the lake, escorted by a brunette professor, and now found himself at the water's edge. It was completely and utterly black. He crouched on a rock to try to get a glimpse into the depths, but almost fell in instead. Sleeves and pant legs dampened, he decided he had better find a boat before he had to sit with the professor. He needed to make friends, after all. He wasn't going to go through school like his older brother. He needed an identity other than 'another Lillantine Slytherin'. See, Antigone was lucky. Her house made her unique. He'd kill to go anywhere but Slytherin. Literally kill. Unfortunately, Cy suspected that was why he was headed straight for Slytherin. He climbed into a boat which currently only held a dark haired boy. "You don't mind, right?" he asked as he scrambled in. "Cy Lillantine, if you were wondering. And you?" Now the seasons are not what they once seemed-
The berries all are green though the sun is at a fine high crest...
We lifted our shirts up in a hurry-
Reaching for the belly hollow from the long cold rest!
We slept off all the fat, but they'll be no more of that,
'Cause there must be some disease 'neath the canopy!
Swinging tails from trees, we can gather we need-
Give away what we had a fair share of...
And now the forks and knives with the sacrifice;
With a pair only some can believe in.

She knows the ins and outs of this world, and that made Marine feel a sort of calm in the sense that she could ask a question and have it answered with ease. Goodness, it must be amazing to live this sort of life from the start! Catching herself growing a bit too excited, Marine took a breath and gracefully combed a bit of her chestnut locks behind her ear as she made eye contact with Hannah. "That's really cool! Gosh, I'm trying not to get ahead of myself here, but it's just awesome to meet someone my age who's different like me, but feels normal about it, you know?"Marine wanted to smack herself in the forehead so bad, but she stopped herself. She shouldn't feel bad about being excited, and then reminded herself of that. This is a miraculous experience and she shan't diminish it with self doubt. "If I recite correctly, the houses are: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin, right? They all stand for a core value which is found in a majority of the students that are sorted there." Marine blushed a tiny hint at how dorky she was being, but continued on anyway. "Do you think you'll get sorted in the same house your family was? Or different?" A small bite of her bottom lip followed, a little tick she has whenever she is focused or a bit nervous. Absentmindedly, she stroked Lilo's tail for comfort as she let her questions bleed out of her. She had so many arise since the start of this journey it felt nice to just let them out.

He loved some and hated others. It was so weird! Luckily, he'd been able to pawn off some of his sandwiches, as he'd have felt bad if they'd been wasted. It was an incredibly long train ride, and his butt was going numb by the time they pulled into the station. He was glad when he was able to adjust his braces and crutches, then stand for a while. He hopped off the train, going as fast as possible so he wasn't pushed by the throngs of students. Rhys was right. It was super busy! He stood off to the side, looking to see if he could find their new school in the dark. After a while, and a bit more small talk, the first years walked down to a lake. On the shore were several little boats. Were they going to have to row? His arms were already bloody tired! He hupped over to one of the boats, then looked at Rhys, who seemed really smart. "Let's see... boats? Do we just... get in them? And how?" He didn't want to have to call over a teacher, so he figured he'd wing it. Nothing too bad could happen... right? He took more than a couple minutes to maneuver into one of the boats, before he grinned in ecstacy. He could manage this! He fixed his braces so he could sit, then looked at Rhys. "Merry little boat ride to school next? Or are we going somewhere else?" He honestly wasn't even sure if the white-haired boy would know, but hopefully he had a better idea, at least. {OoC:}

Maybe she'd meet people... not that she needed to meet anyone! She turned her nose into the air as she marched to the lake. A lake! With her nice shoes! Ugh! For a fancy school, they didn't seem to worry about ruining shoes! Tessa looked at the other kids, all of whom seemed to have met at least one person to call a friend. Oh well! She decided she could make acquaintances once she was sorted. Hopefully, she'd be in Slytherin. It seemed the best for her noble self! She climbed into a boat and sat, arms crossed with a small scowl. She didn't want to be in a creaky old boat! {OoC: Open for Interaction!}

Sometimes I’m feeling like I’m going insane
My neighbour told me that I got bad brains
But I’m alright though (We’re alright though)
Yeah, we’ll be alright though (We’re alright though) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  Unsorted First Year ღ Halfblood ღ Single ┏━━━━━☆━━━━━┓ Annie had regrettably spent the entire train ride by herself, asleep of all things! She couldn't help it though! She had stayed up almost all night too excited about going to school and everything she kept getting up from bed to check and see if everything was in her trunk. She thinks it was around one am that her uncle finally came in and told her he'd force feed her a sleeping pill if she didn't finally head to bed. Then when she got to the station instead of trying to be all buddy-buddy with people, she ended up finding a nice empty and surprisingly comfortable compartment and bloop! Out like a light! Now however she was awake and ready to mingle! She didn't get the chance to really talk to anyone as they were walking to the Lake, but now since they had to actually had to separate into little boats (boats, really??) she figured she could at least attempt it. She had seen a group of girls that seemed nice enough but she felt sort of like an interloper and could pretty much guarantee they would have a boat just to themselves. Annie looked around and saw that there were two boys in a boat together already, one with black hair and another with blonde. They both seemed nice enough (meaning they didn't look like ax wielding murderers, but who really knew this day and age? they looked like they couldn't even properly wield an axe so that was good enough for her) so she approached them with a large grin on her face. "Hi! Would you two mind if I joined you?" she asked lightly rocking on her feet. ┗━━━━━☆━━━━━┛ ☯Wearing

☯With ~ Other students

Siobhan 'Hannah' Grey Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
As a cool breeze wafted from across the lake, Hannah started to realize why Selina chose to dress as she had. Her short gray skirt and the short-sleeved blouse with the plain lavender bow were fine for London, but a bit thin now they were practically in the Highlands. She pulled her cloak close about her, and tried to shiver too much. "I think its cool that students come here from all over," Hannah said. "I'm from Waterford, Ireland. You know, the place where they make all the really expensive crystalware."
When Marine recited all the Houses, Hannah nodded and replied, "Yep, that's all true, and they stand for the values the founders thought were important to being good witches and wizards."
"I don't know," said Hannah thoughtfully, as she brushed a bit of her long purple hair away from her eyes. Da was a Hufflepuff, and Momma was a Ravenclaw, and so was Mother Grey. Linny is a Third Year Ravenclaw, and she has a bunch of friends in Hufflepuff. Maybe we'll be lucky and be in the same House together. Is there one you want to be in?"

A hum purred behind pursed lips as she flicked her eyes about in a thoughtful manner. She hadn't given this aspect much dissection really. Since she had no real fact to go on like what her lineage was. She had to go by how she viewed herself, which in actuality, wasn't very accurate at all. She could say all the good and bad stuff she wanted about herself, but to get down to her inner core and find the true definition of herself would send her into an existential crisis at the age of eleven! "It would be spectacular to be placed in the same house. Regardless though, I'll still come chat with you during breakfast no matter where we're sorted! I don't really have a preference per say, I suppose. Wherever I'm placed will be the correct choice. All have their good and bad when shown in the correct light." Marine weighed her hands back and forth to emphasize her point, before taking a comfortable sigh. She really couldn't stress how lovely it was to talk to someone her age and not have them tease her about her mothers. Hannah was treating her like an average joe and she couldn't be happier in that fact. Marine was almost bouncing with impatience. Why haven't they started moving yet? She wanted to yell out to the stragglers and plop them in boats so she could get going and finally see the castle and be inside its walls! "Have they told you what it's like inside Hogwarts? Are there any secret passageways or hidden rooms?" She felt like a toddler learning the alphabet. This must be so simple and everyday for most but this was a dream for Marine.

Kyson followed the woman to the Black Lake. She instructed them all to find a boat and settle in for the ride, with no more than four people to a boat. One thing was for sure, he didn't want to be at the front to hold the lantern. He took a few steps closer to the Lake, standing over the dark water, looking curiously into the murky depths. Well, he could clearly see why it was called the Black Lake. Didn't someone say there was a giant squid living in there? Or was it mermaids? Or both? Either way, it didn't sound like a safe mode of transportation, especially in those old boats. He was definitely too important to be in those things with the normal people... but it looked like he didn't have much of a choice. With an irritated sigh, Kyson carefully stepped into a boat. He wasn't alone either, like he preferred to be. There was a girl with strange purple hair in the boat with him. First a girl with white hair, and now purple? How many other students had weird hair colors like that? Kyson shot the girl a look, then turned back to look out at the Lake. The sooner they got to the castle, the better.

Rhys followed Gid down to the boats and was relieved that he had taken an unoccupied boat. He tucked his notepad away and climbed in right after, thinking that if he was going to be seasick, he would find out within the next few minutes. He relaxed, glad that it seemed like everyone else was going into other boats. While yes, he had told Kenny not to worry about him, he knew his older brother had a very legitimate reason to worry. Rhys had always been less than sociable, it just had gotten worse instead of better. He was just hoping that he could get over it before it made his life worse.
He looked over as Gid asked about where they were going and the snowy-haired boy shrugged, pulling out his notepad and writing something down quickly before he showed it to Gid. "If I recall, it's a boat ride to the school. I think it's just that we're waiting for everyone to get tot he boats before we get going though. I heard there's some creatures in the lake though. My da said something about a squid being in there."

  Location : Hogsmeade Station -> The Lake Emma was slightly relieved that she hadn’t been joined by Kyson. Although, it had been a quiet ride to Hogsmeade station, she didn’t mind sitting and enjoying a good puzzle book. Looking out the window periodically she wondered what the castle would be like. Would it be like she imagined? When they got to the station it was already dark. That small fact only made Emma wonder why. Either way she was excited. Getting off the train, Emma waited until a woman called for them to follow her. Doing so with a smile Emma found it interesting they’d be going by boat to the castle. She remembered her uncle saying to was so the other years could get their before them and get settled into their seats before they arrived. Whether that was true or not it was still a good theory. Upon arriving at the lake they were instructed to get into a boat, four to one. That sounded fair enough. Seeing that blonde kid from the platform she wasn’t sure if joining his boat was the smartest idea, but at least she’d know someone. Noting he was with a purple haired girl, Emma didn’t say anything as she climbed into the boat until she was settled. “Hi, I’m Emma.” She said figuring it was the least she could give either of them. That’s when it occurred to her that she’d never given the boy her name earlier. Well he hadn’t exactly deserved it. Glancing around at the other boats, that’s when she noticed Kai. She could have joined him but it was too late now. She was committed besides he was with two others anyway. Status: Excited, Nervous, Happy in general... With: First years...

The boy looked up to see another boy with far lighter hair than himself joining the boat, which he didn't actually mind. It would make him seem like far less of a loner. He shook his head as the boy, who now introduced himself as Cy, asked if he minded. Even if he did, there wasn't much he could do about it that wouldn't have made him seem utterly rude his first day as a Hogwarts student. "Go for it. I don't suppose Cy is short for something? My name's Kai Bannister, by the way." He offered his hand out to shake, glad that maybe socializing with new people would start to get easier.
He then looked to the shore as another person wanted to join, but it was a girl this time. With a nod, he adjusted his position on the boat a bit, making more space. "I'm fine with it."

 The youngest Davenport made her way after the lady calling the first years. She soon found herself staring at an inky black lake with cute little boats that students were beginning to pile into. Belle sighed hoping she's pick an okay boat to sit in. She really didn't want to sit in awkward silence the entire ride. She noticed a couple of boys one with white hair. It was like the color of fresh snow. Hoping her choice would work out for the best she made her way over to the boys. "Hey, can I join you?" The small brunette asked with a small smile.

If he'd had the energy, he would have been up, running around and being excitable. He looked over at Rhys when he heard the almost silent pen scratches, then read the note. "Boat ride to the school. Seems easy enoug-- wait.. there's a squid? Eww! Why's it in a lake?! I thought they were the deep-ocean sort? What if it gets close? Is it evil?!" He grinned, thinking of one of the giant squids he'd seen on tv. Was it just a rumor, or was there seriously a squid beneath the waters? He was rocked from his thoughts when a little brunette girl walked over and asked to sit with them. Gid looked at Rhys and shrugged, then looked back. "Ah, sure. Just don't trip on my crutches. They're a bit in the way here. Sorry." He moved his crutches as well as he could, quite used to having to move about for other people. He wasn't exactly space-saving. {OoC:}
