Oh okay. So do we all have to remain first years?
And I'm in Gryffindor.
(August 28, 2017 - 12:18 pm)
I'm in Ravenclaw!!
(August 28, 2017 - 3:47 pm)
"Firs' years over here! Firs' years!" I hop off the train and run into the line. (By the way, I'm assuming this RP is 8 years after The Deathly Hallows, so we're not going to be meeting Harry Potter's kids. Neville is Herbology teacher, and Hermione is Transfiguration, since the Headmistress can't teach a class.) I get into one of the little boats. I hoped to be with Mango and June, but we lose each other in the shuffle. I end up with a kid named SopranoTwo and another one named Killim. They already know each other, and I feel kind of awkward. After everyone is in the boats, they magically row themself across the lake. SopranoTwo gasps. I follow her gaze and see a beatiful castle glowing white, in steep contrast against the night. Towers and spires pierce the sky. From different angles, I can see hints of scarlet, silver, bronze, yellow, gold, green, black, and blue shining out from the castle. On the front is the Hogwarts crest, with lion, badger, eagle, and snake.
Hagrid walks up to it and touches it with his umbrella. The crest slides open. We emerge into the Great Hall.
NOTE: Sorry this was so short, I'll be Sorted tomorrow. Does anyone know a good Sorting Hat song?
(August 28, 2017 - 3:54 pm)
I'm sorry, but i'm going to have to leave because i think I'm too busy to handle this right now.
(August 28, 2017 - 9:12 pm)
I clamber off my boat and walk into the Great Hall. The cloud-covered celing reflects the sunset, red, yellow, and gold. Four tables groan under so many dishes of food I'm surprised the legs don't break. Each one is adorned with a crest, and I remember the four animals around the H that told me I was coming to Hogwarts...
On a stool in the forefront is a battered old hat. The Sorting Hat.
As I wait for Professer McGonagall to call us forward, the hat begins to sing.
"When the houses were founded, the founders decided the places
of all the witches and wizards that stepped inside the hall!
Huffflepuff picked the loyal, Griffendor the brave! Slytherin would pick the ones, that had great ambition! Ravenclaw picked the smartest, and all was well and good.
But they realized there would be a moment, where they could no longer sort!
They put their heads together..."
As the Sorting Hat sang their song, I started worrying about where I could go. I didn't feel like I fit in any house. Professer McGonagall called the first person. "Ashfang!"
As they went through the lines, I got increasingly anxious. Finally, after
" Kitten, Ravenclaw!" I was called up. I'm not going to tell you what the Sorting hat said, but eventually it called "Hufflepuff!" I sat down amid clapping and helped myself to a large serving of mashed potatoes as LilyPad went to Ravenclaw.

Uggggh, yeah I've been neglecting this. Sorry if it's awkward once again, I feel terribly sick and I'm still figuring out my writing style...
Sorting? Ok, sure, here goes
~I watch, increasingly nervous as G-name extra and G-name other are sorted into SLYTHERIN and HUFFLEPUFF, respectively. I'm next, I know it and I'm increasingly nervous. What do I want!? What will I be sorted into?...
"GREENMANGO," shouts Proffesor McGonagal, and shakily I walk up to the hat, my stomach hurting. It looks a bit decrepid and I'm a bit dissapointed. I guess that's my fault for imaging a majestic hat.
Ugh, is that mold? What's that white thing? I hope I don't get lice...
Hmm, snarky
Whoops, it can read minds, I forgot. What's the proper pronoun for a hat? Wait... is this rude? Merlin's beard, I hope it doesn't put me in Slytherin for this. Not Slytherin, not Slytherin, ok Sorting Hat?
Not Slytherin?
I mean, sorry, I don't have anything against Slytherin, I know it's not the evil house! I just want to be in Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw! Which one do you think? I mean, no offence, but Gryffindor isn't for me.
...RAVENCLAW!
...I just made a bad impression with the Hat, didn't I?, I think as I take off the hat, patting the top to try to make amends with it, since I think I just annoyed it. Relieved, I walk over to the Ravenclaw table, and trip over nothing, hopefully disguised by the raucous noise. "Your day is off to a bad start," I say to myself, failing to break the bad habit of talking to myself as I sit down and start loading my plate.
(September 1, 2017 - 1:56 pm)
As the Hogwarts express gets closer and closer to the school, I get more and more nervous. What if I don't make a good first impression? What if I'm bad at all of my classes? When I look out the window, though, I'm completely distracted from my worrying by the huge, majestic Hogwarts castle. It seems to rise from the ground as if it grew there.
The train stops, and we get off. "Firs' years, over here!" someone says. I turn my head in the direction of the sound and see a huge person with a cluster of first years around him. Hagrid! I think. I go over to him.
Once everyone is ready, we board the boats and float across the lake to the castle. I'm going to get sorted into my house!
(September 1, 2017 - 3:37 pm)
Moi~
I walk up to the hat with confidence. The hat raises an eyebrow before I sit on the stool.
"Hm, interesting," it begins. "Intelligence, yes. Logic, good for Ravenclaw. But you have the loyalty of a Hufflepuff and the ambition of a Slytherin."
But...? I feel myself ask.
"But you are very much a Gryffindor, hm, yes."
Moments go by.
Why am I a Gryffindor if I have all those other attributes? I ask.
"You shall see," the Hat responds. "Gryffindor!"
Everyone cheers and I smile, stepping down and walking towards the table. My brother welcomes m and I join all the other first years while older people congratulate me on making it into their house.
I smile at my other friends in the other houses.
We won't be separated. This is going to be a fun year.
(September 1, 2017 - 8:07 pm)
I stand in the long line worrying. Professor McGonagal rattles of names. When she's gets to the J's I become very nervous. My hands begin to shake. I hear my name being called, "JUNE." I walk forward, very nervous. I sit down on the stool, the sorting hat is put on my head.
Hmmm... brave....but very smart.... wiser then most.
Well I wouldn't say that.....
Ahhh.... modest to.
I'm really not that wise, or brave for that matter....
I can see inside your head, it's all the proof I need, you needn't confess.
RAVENCLAW!!!!!
there is clapping from the Ravenclaw table. I walk over and fill my plate, and start to eat.

I am Frederick's patronus. This is a startling turn of events.
(September 14, 2017 - 6:47 pm)
As Professor McGonagal introduces the prefects, I turn my head and smile at Alex, my prefect. She smiles back. I turn to the cber next to me. "Hi!" I say smiling. "Hi!" She says back. I finish before anyone else, so I head to the library. I walk through the library pulling books of shelves, then I walk to a table to start reading. I sit down putting my large stack of books down on the table. I started reading. Everything in the books was so interesting!!!! I didn't stop reading intill it was almost after hours. Someone can up behind and placed a hand on my shoulder and whispering. "It's time to go up to the common room." I turn my head, blushing. "I didn't mean to stay in the library that long." I say. They smile, "it's ok."
(feel free to be the cber who came up behind me)
