 They say we are what we are
But we don't have to be.
I'm bad behavior but I do it in the best way.
I'll be the watcher of the eternal flame.
I'll be the guard dog of all your fever dreams.

Darian made a face, suddenly looking around and remembering the name Avery being called out along with Gryffindor. Oh. Ooooooooooooh. Oh ew. That was never pleasant. She remembered her own parents' reactions to Tiernan getting Ravenclaw and the disappointment that came with it. Which had only fuelled Darian's decision to go rogue herself. When Essie made the comment about not being able to change who you were, Darian snorted. "Tiernan. My triplet. You should have heard the fuss that mother and father had over her sorting. It was probably nothing compared to the scandal my cousin caused by dating a halfblood. Not to mention if my other cousin was found out to be a Hufflepuff instead of a Slytherin. She's been lying for years about that one." She understood all about the ways pureblood families expected their kids to act. Try and teach her how to do needlework. Or be a 'proper' lady. All that got was her instructor nearly being stabbed with said needle and more rips and tears in her dresses than anything else.
When Rich commented on her look, she grinned, feeling very confident that she was going to love it here. Besides, she could practically imagine what kind of view was up in the Gryffindor common room. "Blend in nothing! I'm going full native here. Figured if my parents were going to harass Tiernan, I had every right to harass them right back. So, from this moment on, I'm not a Slytherin, I'm a Gryffindor. Besides, I got into too many fights with my old housemates to really fit in there anyway." She settled back, feeling quite proud of that fact. Heck, this was probably the happiest she'd felt since being sorted. Weird. Over in Slytherin, she had to deal with constant vying for who was top dog, and she was sure that wasn't the case here. Or at least, she didn't think that was the case.
It was then that Darian realized that someone had taken the seat right next to her, and she glanced over and frowned, thinking that had to be Mackenzie something or other. She wasn't too sure, but honestly it wasn't like she cared overly much. She was just glad that there wasn't some pompous arse deciding to try and sound like he was doing a recruitment drive for Minions-R-Us. "Mine was good. Well, mostly. I kind of got into a few fights with some of the neighbourhood boys though. They seemed to think it was funny to harass one of my friends. That blew up in their faces when another guy joined in on my side of the fight." She frowned, knowing that talking about the guy was setting off bells in her head for some reason. It wasn't like she talked to him much, he was usually at some bible school or something. Which, looking at Essie, suddenly it clicked. "Wait a second, you've got a brother, don't you? Gabriel Spencer? I knew his name sounded familiar!"

When the sorting hat placed her in Gryffindor, Lucy grinned. Just like mum! She'll be really proud. She hopped off the stool and made a beeline for the red-clad table that was cheering loudest. She plopped herself down next to Alec, who'd been sorted into Gryffindor as well, to her surprise. He looked flustered and she remembered he wanted to be sorted into Slytherin, i.e., the opposite of his current house. "Hey Alec, sorry about you not getting Slytherin," she told him sympathetically, "I don't think it would be too bad," she added optimistically.
Lucy noticed two other first years sitting in front of them, vaguely recognising them as among those who'd made a scene back at the station. Both of them looked awkward and one was even drumming on the table in apparent boredom. Before she could say anything, the drumming boy was approached by an older student and Lucy barely refrained from rolling her eyes. All the prefects she knew were power-hungry snitches who always took their friends' sides. Still, her mum told her to behave and so she would. She decided to introduce herself, after all, they would be spending the rest of their time in Hogwarts together and it was always good to make new friends, even the prefect, if he wasn't too bad. "Hello! I'm Lucy Jacobs and this here's Alec," she gestured to the said boy. "What are your names?"

  ◉ 𝒇𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓱 𝔂𝒆𝓪𝓻 ◉ 𝓰𝓻𝔂𝒇𝒇𝓲𝓷𝓭𝓸𝓻 ◉ 𝓻𝒆𝓼𝒆𝓻𝓿𝒆 𝓴𝒆𝒆𝓹𝒆𝓻 ◉After a long train ride with her sister, Kimberly finally made it to the castle. The entire way there, her twin had been reading this new manga Colin had introduced to her, which left a lot of time for her to talk and Kiley to pretend to listen. Upon entering the Great Hall, Kim took her usual seat at her table next to Brandon. With OWLs right around the corner, as well as the Quidditch season starting up again soon, she hoped she would have enough time for her friends as well as keeping up with everything else. As she listened to the sorting, daydreaming in her own world, the brunette heard a familiar name. A girl with dark brown hair had been sorted into Slytherin, with the surname of Davenport. "Is that your cousin or somethin'? She looks kinda like you, and she's giving you the evil eyes from the Slytherin table right now." Perhaps they weren't friendly cousins? Kim didn't have any cousins from what she knew, so she wasn't sure how to relate.
Sometimes I have dreams. I picture myself flying above the clouds, high in the sky.
Conquering the world with my magic piano, never being scared, but then I realize,
I'm supergirl and I'm here to save the world, and I wanna know who's gonna save me?

See, I was born the second child...
With a spirit running wild, running free.
And they saw trouble in my eyes;
They were quick to recognize the devil in me!
See, I was born a restless child...
And I could hear the world outside calling me.  ΛĿƐӾΛИDƐŔ

Alec, despite his frustration, mortification, and approaching homicidal rage, was still not very surprised to hear Lucy being sorted into Gryffindor, and even less surprised when she sat down beside him. "It's fine," he muttered, which was a horrible lie, as it was very much not fine. He scowled as she immediately decided to make small talk, garnering the attention of not just two other first years (at least they were boys), but a prefect as well. He inclined his head slightly in recognition, not having the energy level at the moment to do much else. He was tired, any appetite he'd been regaining had since been lost, and most of all he just wanted to go to bed and pretend the latter half of today had not happened. But that would likely prove difficult, seeing as he'd be sleeping in the bloody Gryffindor tower. And heaven knows how hard I tried-
But the devil whispered lies I believed!
Can you hear it hanging on the wind?
Can you feel it underneath your skin?
You've got to go on, further than you've ever gone...
You've got to run far from all you've ever known...

 x▧xDesmondxxxLanexxxMelanconxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxGryffindor First Year
x Feeling: Hungry
x Location: Great Hall - Gryffindor Table
x With: Gryffindor StudentsThings remained stale for a moment, not much of anything was happening among the first year students that Desmond was sorted with as Gryffindor. Not much of anything was going on, besides the drumming of Roo's fingers along the edge of the table, prompting a slight bobbing motion in Desmond's head as he moved along to the music in his mind. It was better then sitting here awkwardly waiting for more awkward contact with more awkward people he didn't know. Oh wait, too late! Another person was sorted into Gryffindor and was joining them at their table just as Roo was approached by an older student. This student, who happened to be a girl, walked up and sat next to the boy (whose head was literately mashed against the table at some point) that Dee didn't know. 'More awkward interaction incoming... wait for it... NAILED IT!' Desmond's mind blotted out all of the interaction between the new girl and the other boy, however he did keep up with what was going on mentally and even semi-predicted when she would turn her attention to him. 'Might as well get this over with...' He thought to himself as he nodded in the girl's direction. " Pleasure... Lucy... I'm err... Desmond... Desmond Melancon..." He shot a thumb in Roo's direction. " The kid talking to the older kid... He's Roo... We met earlier. Oh.. yeah... also, pleasure to meet you too.. er... Alec, right?" Desmond put his hand back in his lap and went back into the confines of his own mind. Without even noticing it, his stomach let out a loud belch. He had forgotten how hungry he was getting. OOC: A difficult choice indeed...
You could do well in any house,
And yet I see one fitting you quite well.
Better be...

❉Sαɗιє❉ Colton met up with his brother and took his attention from Rowan. He grinned as he led his brother to the Gryffindor Table, sitting down near the rest of the people. It was exciting, even if they were a bit late. Connor gently guided Sadie to sit under the bench, making sure she was out of the way. Colton looked around at the other people, wondering if he'd jump in the conversations. Connor pulled out his little braille typewriter and made notes about the goings on of the year. Colton sighed, then looked over at his brother. He was bored, but he wanted to stay close to Connor. Wᴇ'ʟʟ ᴅᴏ ɪᴛ ᴀʟʟ. Eᴠᴇʀʏᴛʜɪɴɢ. Oɴ ᴏᴜʀ ᴏᴡɴ

Eleven~ Unsorted First Year► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ Valentín excitedly hopped off the stool and ambled over to the Gryffindor table, eager to join his new house. Gryffindor! He was so elated he could hardly breather. He wasn't surprised but he was still relieved to be in the house he most wanted: the house of his ancestors. Sitting down, he grinned at the students around him and watched the sorting continue. He couldn't wait for his parents to find out. Of course they would have been supportive wherever he would have gone, but this was best. Val would be able to meet and befriend like-minded people, and he couldn't wait for all the adventures he would have. ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ► ◄ ((Out of Character ~))

Timothy had been watching the sorting quietly. However, when the stool was placed away, he stood patiently and walked over to the podium. He looked over the crowd of assembled students, ready to welcome them to the new school year. "Hello everyone, and welcome back for a new school year. For those that are just now beginning their education at Hogwarts, I would like to extend a welcome and hope they are diligent in their studies. However, before we begin the feast and forget what needs to be stated, I must make the usual school announcements. There is to be no magic used in between classes in the halls, and the Forbidden Forest is still quite forbidden to anyone that doesn't wish to die young. The other school rules are posted for people to peruse at their leisure, but considering these are the most frequent violations, I must bring them up here. Now, let us sit back, tuck in, and enjoy the feast before the evening ends." Timothy took a seat, ready himself to eat.

Mackenzie Hawthorne
Gryffindor - Second Year - Twelve Years Old - Reserve Chaser - Halfblood - Adopted
╚══════════════════════════════════╝ Mackenzie frowned when Darian explained that she got into a few fights with some boys. That was never good, boys were icky and violent. She knew, she had boy cousins who caused too much trouble and liked flinging rocks at her with their slingshot. That had to be the dumbest toy her uncle and aunt let them play with. Then, Darian noted Essie’s brother and the blonde asked what he did. Maybe he was the guy who joined in on the Slytherdor’s side of the fight. What a small world. When Essie mentioned that her father made her study, the brunette raised an eyebrow. “You had to study during summer?” That was the last thing Mackenzie would’ve been doing. Her summer was filled with fresh air and friends and exploring and just enjoying her time off from school. “I’m glad it wasn’t too bad,” she told Richard after he told her about his summer. “Mine was good. I got a new broom!” she exclaimed happily.
Not really paying attention to the discussion her and her housemates – and girl who was trying her best to become a member of the Gryffindor house – were having, Mackenzie watched the sorting. Blue eyes landed on each firstie who went up, and when Skylar went up, something about her looked very familiar. She didn’t quite know where she recognized her name and face from, but the two’ve definitely met before. The blonde was sorted into Hufflepuff, however, so Mackenzie continued to watch the sorting without a word. When Deaus was called up, Mackenzie’s eyes widened. He was a wizard?! That explained so much about why he liked ghost friendship-making. If Mackenzie ever saw him in the hallway, she’d have to say hello to the boy. Only when Professor Steele begun the feast did Mackenzie notice that Colton hadn’t sat in the seat next to her. Looking around, she spotted him and Connor sitting together further down the table. If she knew they Ravenclaw twin would be sitting at the Gryffindor table, she would’ve saved two seats – one for each of them. Instead, she felt bad that she hadn’t, but what could you do? Glancing over at the Hufflepuff table, Mackenzie really wished Saio came to sit with her instead. Maybe next time, she’d go join the badgers for the feast.

✯Ƥяєƒєcт✯Ʋιcє Ƈαρтαιη✯ After dinner, Gid consulted with Jazzy, which ended in her telling him he was going to have to take charge with the first years. With a huff, the teen stood, leaning on his crutches. He cleared his throat as he looked at the gaggle of first years, then he spoke up. "Hello to all the new students we have here. I'm one of your Prefects. My name's Gideon Reid, and the other prefect in my year is Jazzy Pierce. We are going to lead you to the common room, then be there through the year to answer any questions and such. So, without further adieu, please follow me, and stay close." He nodded, thinking his speech proficient enough to get the job done. If he was going to be prefect and captain, he really needed to get better at impromptu speeches. With that, he started out the Great Hall, trying to move at the same pace as all the first years, so as not to be holding them all up. {OoC: First Years were quoted! Next post at the Grand Staircase!

After everyone was their version of 'full', the guy that was talking to Roo' introduced himself as Gideon Reid, a prefect of Gryffindor. It was time to go to the common room... It was as the left that Desmond noticed Gideon's crutches. Desmond took a moment to suck up all the emotions of excitement and quell them in order to keep a pace that didn't strain the guy. Once everything was in order, Desmond followed beyond Gideon. OOC: A difficult choice indeed...

Timothy had been sitting quietly at the staff table for a while. However, it looked as though it was about time for him to stand and make his usual announcement. The school year had gone smoothly, with the usual hiccups regarding arguing in classes and the like. However, he was hoping that this year, there wouldn't be any sudden surprises waiting for the departing students. Standing, he walked over to the podium and cleared his throat.
"Well now, we find ourselves at the end of another year. For those who just joined us, congratulations for making it through your first year, and for those now leaving, we wish you the best in any endeavors you may pursue in the future. As such, the standings of the cup should be announced." He looked over the tables before looking back to the students. "The house cup standings are thus. In fourth place, with 75 points, is Ravenclaw. Third place, with a total of 150 points, goes to Hufflepuff. Second place, with a total of 440 points, goes to Gryffindor. And finally, in first place with a total of 550 points as well as the Quidditch Cup, goes to Slytherin! Congratulations on your wins. Now, let us tuck in, enjoy the evening, and prepare for your trips back home for the summer."
