Annie grinned brightly in happy surprise as the hat placed her in Gryffindor more surprised than anything. Well, not a bad surprise, she just hadn't expected it! She had thought maybe Hufflepuff or even Slytherin but Gryffindor wasn't terrible, it was her dad's house after all! She wondered if he'd be proud of her...no, let's not go down that road of thought! Not right now! She got off the stool and graciously gave the hat back to the deputy before walking over to the table of crimson and gold noticing with wide eyes as her robes changed color as did her originally black tie to match the colors of her new house. Neat! She wondered if that happened to all her clothing. She looked around the table trying to see where she could sit and possibly make some more friends. Speaking of which, she had spotted her earlier friend Cy looking a bit disappointed and being put in Slytherin. She hoped he didn't buy into all the tripe that came with the House! Or maybe he thought she and Kai wouldn't be his friend if he got into there. Well that was just poppycock! Tomorrow when they were in classes, she'd show him! With her mind made up she continued looking for a seat and found one besides two other boys (she just couldn't find any estrogen to hang around tonight it seemed), one with dark dark hair and another blonde, although nowhere near the shade of Cy's. He also had these braces things attached to his arm, she hoped he hadn't hurt himself too horrible to get them. Annie was about to introduce herself when he asked that muggles were non-magical while also asking what a house elf was. She thought about answering it but then the dark haired one answered but also mentioned a metallic beast that shot ice chips at you. After a few seconds a short snort and giggle escaped her before she pinked realizing how rude that had been."Sorry but um, it's not a metallic beast, I mean I hope not, I've never really cracked one open to look inside. But what I think you're brother was talking about is called an ice machine. It's um, well it's this system that gives you all the ice you want at the press of a button and it makes more by itself so you don't have to keep refilling it with water. Oh, I'm Annie by the way! Anna-Marie Curts, but I prefer Annie..or ya know, any other variation of my name." she told them both after her short round of word vomit.




They say we’re losers and we’re alright with that
We are the leaders of the not-coming-back’s
But we’re alright though
Yeah, we’re alright though

”Ice… machine…?” He repeated, doe-eyed with his mouth agape. With his attention turned to the speaker, Dante could only stare dumbly at Annie as she explained how the machine worked. It all seemed too good to be true, but Dante also knew better than to doubt muggles and muggle technology. After all, with muggles this was a population of people who had managed to thrive without magic for eons. He had to give at least that to them. ”Blimey… sounds like magic if I ever heard it. For a muggle to invent such a thing… amazing!” He said, smiling. After all this talk of ice machines and hotels, it seemed Dante was sufficiently distracted from his hunger. Who would’ve thought that on his first day at Hogwarts, Dante would learn something.

After another round of introductions and the addition of a new Gryffindor, Dante smiled to the newcomers, clearing his throat as he introduced himself to them. ”Dante, Dante Bianchi. It’s a pleasure to meet you both.” These were all familiar faces, of course, but Dante hadn’t known any of their names up until now. But as the introductions came to an end, the boy couldn’t help but to wonder about his sister. How was she faring, over at the Slytherin table? It seemed that house was also getting quite a lot of firsties as well. He wondered if she was making any friends yet, or, more probable, if she’d made any enemies yet. Quickly stopping himself from dwelling on those thoughts, Dante turned to look at Lynn, an exasperated look on his face as if to show that he empathized with her plight. ”I know, right? You’d think that magic hat could decide maybe a few seconds quicker so we could start eating.”

Though thankfully, now that his mind was mostly occupied with thoughts of ice machines and hotels, it seemed the hunger pangs had died down to a dull roar. As he turned back to Annie and Gid with the same boyish smile on his face, Dante was quick to pry a little more, hoping to learn more about the muggle world so he could show off to his brother once the school year ended. ”It seems you two are pretty familiar with the muggle world…. Do you guys travel often?” He asked.

Addy had been relatively quiet since they reached the Gryffindor Table. He had been thinking about Pru, wondering if she was actually happy. He had caught her completely by surprise that summer, he could tell that much. But she seemed happy around him, so that was good, right? He watched her as she eagerly watched the sorting, cheering when a boy was sorted into Ravenclaw. Then she turned to explain the cheer and he smiled. "Oh, awesome. Think he'll like it there?" He didn't know the boy, so he was stabbing in the dark. But Pru obviously knew if he would, so he'd know soon enough.

Tori hurried into the Great Hall, running fashionably late, as always. She had just a few things to sort out with her uniform, but it was ready now. Proudly strutting to the Gryffindor table, the girl smiled widely at anyone who gave her a glance. She took a seat with Pru and Addy, waving at them both. "Hey guys! Sorry I'm late," she said. She still couldn't believe that Pru and Addy were dating. They didn't even write her to tell her, instead telling her at the station. Still, it was so exciting! They were so cute together, and in her mind, she totally predicted that it would happen. Now if she could just push her other best friends together, all would be right with the world. "Have I mentioned how incredibly adorable you guys are? I feel like I have, but I don't know if I emphasized how freakin' cute you two are together, like ohmygosh!" Tori squealed, flailing her arms a little, just like the fangirl she was. Looking towards the sorting, she made a note that Kyson was sorted into Slytherin. She clapped for him, knowing that he probably wouldn't care either way. Still, she hoped he would find some friends in his new house, just like she found friends practically everywhere.

I wear a disguise. I'm just your average Jane. The super doesn't stand for model, but that doesn't mean I'm plain.
If all you see is how I look, you miss the superchick within. And I christen you titanic, underestimate and swim.
I've got the rifle gonna be myself. I'll be everything that I want to be! I am confidence in insecurity.
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard. I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world. I'm a one girl revolution.

Giving Jazzy a welcoming smile, Dante introduced himself before turning his attention back to Annie and Gid. Oblivious as ever, it hit the boy like a brick wall when Dante learned that Gid and Annie were both from muggle families – Gid, a muggleborn, and Annie, a halfblood, this was a whole new world to Dante, who had spent his childhood mostly with old pure-blooded wizarding families. ”There’s so much that I need to learn… mum and dad never took us out into the muggle world, you see… Of course, when my older brother was old enough nothing could stop him from traveling, but for us we never really got to explore the world outside of our home.” Dante admitted, blushing slightly at the fact that he felt inadequate around the other children. ”Esmée and I would always try to sneak out though. We almost made it to London, once… but mum caught us and we were locked in the house for nearly a month. I guess the only other time we were ever anywhere near the muggle world was shopping at Diagon Alley.”

At Gideon’s mention of WiFi, Dante’s face twisted into a confused expression as he stared at the boy. ”Wi…. Fi…? What’s that? Is it a secret room in the castle? My sister told me each house gets their own dorm with a secret passcode… but I’ve never heard of the Wi Fi House before..” He commented, frowning.
