Welcome to Gaia! ::

Addison climbed out of his boat, setting his feet down on the dock, happy to be back on solid ground. He wasn't exactly afraid of the boats, but he was most definitely not a lover of them. He leaned against the wall and let his stomach settle, then looked around the boat house. Everything looked like his sister had explained it. "Cool," he mumbled to himself, then smiled and offered a hand to other people getting out of the boats. Addy was more than willing to help anyone in need.

Pandora rushed down to the Boathouse as soon as she could. It was her first year doing this, and to be honest she felt like she didn't quite know what she was doing. But it was her job now. This is what being Deputy Headmistress meant.

She looked over the first years and smiled. She remembered this day fondly, even though it was many years ago. "Hello," the professor said loudly to get the students to focus on her. "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Deputy Headmistress Pandora Thorne. If you would all follow me I will lead you to the castle," she said as she headed off to the castle, occasionally glancing over her shoulder to make sure the newest students were behind her.

Constance was amazed by everything that she didn’t mind waiting a little while when she first got out of the boat. She did however wish that it was lighter out so she could more easily see the boat house they were all standing in. Just being near the other first years was getting Constance excited, there were so many other students, maybe she’ll be able to make some good friends here.

It didn't seem that long before another teacher, the first lady was a teacher right? Well in any case Deputy Headmistress Pandora Thorne shows up and tells the group of first years to follow into the castle. It was so exciting to Constance to know her new school was a castle. It made her think of old stories her mother used to read to her about princesses. However this place was going to be more like a magic castle wasn't it? In any case Constance was excited and followed the group into the castle.

The boat once again rocked onto the shore after a trip across the lake. There were, in fact, definitely creatures below in the water. He actually took it pretty well, seeing as both he and his brother had both expected that. He climbed off, his brother following steadily behind, just like all the other kids.

Selina was pretty sure she saw a couple tentacles lift themselves from the stygian waters her boat coasted through, and they seemed to wave in the general direction of the flotilla of tiny boats. However, this sight was nothing compared to when they rounded the shore, and she saw Hogwarts. Selina's eyes lit up when she saw the castle for the first time. In an instant she knew all the effort and pain she'd endured to get to this place were justified. For a moment she wondered if this what it might have been like arriving at the walls of fabled Tara.

It wasn't long before the fleet pulled into the boathouse, and she heard the teacher instruct them all to exit the boats as safely as possible. Selina glanced down at the furry mass clinging to her legs; she sighed and scooped the cat up, tucking her into the courier bag at her hip. Taking care not to rock the boat, Selina climbed out and onto the quayside.

'And now we wait,' she thought.

spaceMuirenn had seen the dark shadows of the boats moving across the lake from her vantage point not far from the boat house. The mermaid had smirked; her pod had known that it wasn't long before the school was once again populated (the arrival of the professors a few days beforehand was an obvious tell, as was the sudden bustle in the village). She'd been watching the surface for the last few nights, eager to get a look at this year's crop. She didn't particularly like humans, especially not the young ones, but occasionally there were one or two that were of interest. Not only that, it was always fun to terrorize them, just a little bit. She got in trouble for this sometimes, but she didn't really care; it didn't make it less funny. She'd prefer not to be seen, though; being seen typically sparked a crowd suddenly huddling about and staring at her, which was irksome. The mermaid watched the children exiting their boats closely, tail reaching up to break the surface and splash a group as they exited the vessels.
