it looks good on you.

Ariana thought about taking the class, but then erased the thought from her mind. "I don't know if I'll take it, and I'm not making that decision now. We haven't even been sorted yet," she said, not wanting to think or worry about anything.

Shina frowned. "You are first born of the primary line, and were decreed a cadet branch? How awful!" she exclaimed. "And I will never understand why Westerners are so obsessed with male heirs. If your heir is female, simply adopt the husband into the family when the couple is married to carry on the name. Personally, I think females are better if you want to be sure of the line. After all, it is difficult to claim that a woman giving birth isn't the child's mother, but there are disputes over paternity all the time," Shina said with a shrug.

Why must I be judged upon the purity of my blood?

Steele looked around at the rambunctious, noisy children and wondered if he was ever going to get to calmly talk to them, but it already seemed like there were groups of people talking together, giving off that aura of exclusion in which he has came to know. So why even bother talking to these kids? What do they have to offer him? He was sure that none of them would find the decency of befriending a mudblood like himself. Yes, he already learned of the word mudblood and its derogatory meaning, for he has already been called that on more than one occasion. It hurt him emotionally to be called this, but he was just going to have to endure the mental beating for awhile. He needed to make a name for himself, but he didn't know how. He wanted to impress them so his family history could be looked past. The only way he knew how to do that was to use his guitar, the instrument he had been playing for roughly about seven years. He picked up the guitar when he was four and he was extremely good, playing unlike anyone around his age. He was very good at guitar, but he didn't believe even something like a song could sway the position of any of these little people with amazing powers.

To get his mind off of things, he set his eye upon the castle, not really surprised at all, or even amazed. It looked just how he believed a castle would. Many towers, a huge expanse of field behind it. He then set his eye back upon the lake. It was beautiful, the moon reflecting off its icy surface. One could not even describe. He was scared of it though, for he did not know what lie underneath the dark surface. Were there monsters? If there are wizards, then there definitely has to be monsters. He cringed at an image of a huge sea monster feeding on him that he conjured in his head. He definitly wanted to stay away from this lake.

Finally, he awaited the 'opening ceremonies' to start, quiet as a mouse, silence unbroken. He wouldn't even sound a syllable unless someone else spoke to him. He anxiously awaited the teacher to bring the group of kids into the castle. He wasn't surprised by the outside of the castle, but maybe the inside as different.

Will I ever be the same?

Ariana's eyes fell upon the castle door as it opened. It was time be sorted. She turned to face her three friends. "Whatever happens, we'll be friends," she reassured them. Turning back around, she followed the students into the castle.

Who's up for a...

Ben was getting the upper hand on Matt, and he had to admit, it felt good. The whole thing was moving just as he'd expected. All traces of anger were fading like a winter sunset, now it was all just fun. It had been a long while since anyone had challenged Benjamin McCloud this much. It thrilled him. Unfortunately with Matt's next words, a stalemate was the only clear thing that would come of this. Doing anything more would only result in the tables being turned on Ben himself. Ben returned Matt's stare unwaveringly. Ben too noticed the others' stares on them. He quickly maneuvered to dissolve the situation. "Well that was fun wasn't it?" he asked with a seemingly sincere smile before leaving to join the others on the way to the sorting hat. Friends or enemies, Ben wasn't quite sure what Matt and him were, but he was sure that whatever they'd come to be would be amusing.

...little friendly competition?

Rue could only grin endearingly at Shina. "It's always been thought that, since the male is the "bread-winner" and provider of the home, being head of the house would come naturally. No one exspects a matriarch to rule a testosterone dominant role. But old families are usually set in their ways and won't budge even to save themselves; especially if they're super stubborn and mean. Its hard for them to adjust to new ideas and customs." She shrugged again in indifference. "Honestly, I don't mind not being the heir. It takes a little weight off my shoulders. I feel bad for my new born cousin though. He's going to have a lot to deal with when he gets older. Hopefully they won't try to corrupt him..." 'Of course, should he ask for our help, we'll be glad to give it.'

A ripple of nervous energy ran through the crowd of first years as a woman came forward and motioned them to follow her. Rue's pulse picked up. "Looks like its time to get sorted!" She grabbed Shina's and Elliot's hands suddenly; looking them in the eyes with an expression of joy. "No matter what house we all end up in, I hope we can be friends. Or at least be on good speaking terms." Laughter escaped, her happiness overflowing. "Let's go!" She said jubiantly, attempting to tug the two along in her excitement.

Unsorted First Year

When Mark replied to Annabelle's question, she merly looked at him and giggled.
"I know you are a boy..." she paused for a moment "I am a girl, I was aking who that boy you tried to avoid is" Annabelle said and smiled.

It was time for sorting, Annabelle clapped her hands cheerfully.
"Mark, lets go, time for sorting!" she exclaimed excitedly and pranced through the entrance of the great hall.

It felt a bit like a center of a tornado, at least how she imagined it might feel. All the chatter and commotion going on around her, and she felt so still and quiet. She could listen to petty squabbles and normal rather boring facts about people's basic information... some of it even actually interested her. 'I wonder what pureblood genetics would work like? Is there a thing they can find that makes us be able to do magic?" she wondered.

Juniper looked around, there were also people who were also being quiet. Some seemed like bundle of nerves, uninterested in the crowd, or lacking the nerve to talk to people. Eretria seemed more like her. 'The two of us seem very similar... that could be a good thing perhaps.' Their silence was not a thing of fear but a strength. Though it might be a bit selfish keeping to herself right now, there would be time later for others. This was a crossroad that would dictate her future. There was a stirring in the line in front of her. It was time.

Joseph Luxton
Unsorted First Year

It was time to head to the sorting hat in the great hall. Joseph had to control himself from wetting himself from excitement or clapping like a little school girl. Because he was not going to wet himself infront of his new friends, or behave like a small child. He merly smiled and headed into the great hall, filled with his fellow first years and the rest of the school.

I may not fully SEE you....

````Marko sighed. He heard her say she was a girl. But the rest was drowned out. He smiled. Or tried to. He was tired in truth.

But I KNOW you are there.

Leanne Harris
First Year - Unsorted
~~~~***^^***~~~~

Leanne looked about as she stepped out of the boat that the four girls had sat in, immediately reaching down and picking up Ishtar with a quiet apology to Payton. She looked over the group of first years and suddenly felt nervous. Here she was, a farm girl, and suddenly she was surrounded by a whole lot of people she didn't know, who were speaking of things she had no clue of. She almost felt like bolting back into the boat, but strengthened her resolve enough to walk foward. Noticing that the group was moving toward the castle, she realized that they must be going to get sorted. "We'd better hurry up," she said quietly, her nervousness returning in spades.

Okay then, sorting it is. Time to find out what those houses mean, and which one I'm in for that matter. Jennifer thought, patting on her thighs in a rhythm. How is this supposed to happen anyways? Is it pre-decided? Or does it happen right now? Gah, this is confusing. Jennifer could figure that--- based on personalities--- she wouldn't be put in the same house as Joseph, Juniper, or Eretria. Honestly, I don't know if that's a bad thing or not. They seem a whole lot quieter and smarter then me. Whatever. Noticing the line move into the school, Jennifer glanced back at the lake before going inside to get sorted.
