Timothy had been watching the sorting quietly, noting where people went. 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 under no circumstances should you enter the Forbidden Forest unless you wish to shorten your lifespan by a number of years. 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.

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 10 points, is Hufflepuff. Third place, with a total of 170 points, goes to Ravenclaw. Second place, with a total of 310 points, goes to Slytherin. And finally, in first place with a total of 450 points as well as the Quidditch Cup, goes to Gryffindor! Congratulations on your wins. Now, let us tuck in, enjoy the evening, and prepare for your trips back home for the summer."

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!

Rune got off the stool and scanned the tables to see where As disappeared to, only to find his twin clapping and waving from the Slytherin table. He rolled his eyes and waved back, then noticed his sister was clapping for the two of them as well. That caused him to smile a bit and wave to her too while walking toward the Gryffindor table. He was still a bit nervous, but he covered that up real fast with the knowledge that he wasn't the first in his family to be sorted there, and he wasn't likely to be the last. Sitting down, he proceeded to watch where everyone else went, waving at Nasim when she went to Hufflepuff and Wren when he went to Slytherin. Well, at least Wren would already know people from Slytherin (he'd already spotted someone else talking to him that went to Slytherin too). He and Nasim were just the odd ones out from their group, he guessed.

☽Aldrick✩Knapp☾
Gryffindor Fourth Year
▬▬ "In learning you will teach,"▬▬
After an eventful train ride, mostly consisting of him and Lizzie - the yeti backpack, drawing on each other, the group went to the carriages. Of course, the Yeti backpack was still riding along, so he just rolled with it. When they got to the carriages, he let her off, as they were receiving glares that probably revolved around it being unsafe. Oh well. When they entered the feast, Aldrick took his normal seat across from Lizzie, and began doodling vulgar things on his third year textbooks, preparing them for Brook's use next year. He originally brought them, because he may still reference them this year during classes. However, he began thinking about how proud August would be if Aldrick was seen with last years notes, and the vulgar drawings became a two for one, Brook would hate it next year, Auggie would despise it this year. He looked over the different tables, and saw Rhea sitting with her Slytherins. He smiled at her, glared at August, then saw another red head at the Slytherin table. Who was she again? Ah yes. Jessalyn. She was the deaf girl right? Yes, she was in art club. She was only a year younger than Aldrick was. She colored very nicely. That girl would be the next one he dated. He made a mental note to check out a book from the library about signing, that was an important first step in asking out a beautiful hearing impaired girl. Aldrick looked at Xavier next to him and grinned, "How much do you know about Jessalyn Prescott, and what great plans can you think of for asking her on a date? Or at least Where to go for a date." ▬▬ "and in teaching you will learn." ▬▬ ╔══════════════╗
Where: Great Hall
With Whom: Lizzie and Xavier but looking at those Slytherins.
Thinking about: Let's make a plan.
Aldrick Description: 5'5" Blond boy with gorgeous eyes.
Wearing: Gryffindor robes.

What do you want from me? Why don't you run from me?
What are you wondering? What do you know?
Why aren't you scared of me? Why do you care for me?
When we all fall asleep, where do we go?

✱✲❃ Cas blinked a few times after the Hat's decision and wondered if that was just a pre-sorting before it hit him that no, he was really actually in Gryffindor. Ohboy. As he walked towards the table he tried to anticipate how his parents would react. His father would probably sigh and stuff and be disappointed but he wouldn't actually be upset. His mum on the other hand he wasn't completely sure. She was a bit of a wild card and while that's kinda what he liked about her, it was certainly leaving him on uneven ground now. At least he knew not to expect a howler or anything like that. Plus, it wasn't like he was a Hufflepuff; his dad might actually have a lecture for that one. He took an empty seat next to another first year and gave him a hesitant grin. "Hi, I'm Cas. I guess...we're roommates?" he added with a bit of a chuckle. Suddenly he remembered what was in his pocket and anxiously took out Rags sighing in relief that the toad was alright, if a tad disgruntled but that was sort of his permanent emotion.
Come here
Say it, spit it out, what is it exactly
You're payin'? Is the amount cleanin' you out, am I satisfactory?
Today, I'm thinkin' about the things that are deadly
The way I'm drinkin' you down
Like I wanna drown, like I wanna end me

Gryffindor Fourth Year
▬▬ "In learning you will teach,"▬▬
Aldrick sighed and patted Xavier's shoulder, "Xavier my man, that's now how this works. You have to charm a girl first. You can't just go ask a girl out." This was it, Aldrick was going to teach Xavier how to properly be a cool guy to go ask girls out, "For example, if we were going to ask out dear old Liz, we wouldn't just straight up ask her out. We'd get to know her a bit. Learn thigns she likes. Yeti here likes art and such, so we frame the asking out to how she would most enjoy it, Aldrick pulled out his sketch book and drew quickly and ferosciously, then turned it around so Xavier and Lizzie could see the cat figure he had drawn, with the print 'Liz, Will you go out with me?' at the top. "After seeing this, the Yeti would obviously say all swooingly "Oh Aldrick! Of course I will! I've always been wanting you to ask me!" and THEN you can date."He tore the picture out and signed it, handing it to Lizzie, "A keep sake for you my Yeti. NOW. We must go learn sign language to go ask Jessalyn out. Do you know sign language, Xavier? Can you jump start me on my learning, or am I going to have to learn it all from scratch at the library?"▬▬ "and in teaching you will learn." ▬▬ ╔══════════════╗
Where: Great Hall
With Whom: Lizzie and Xavier but looking at those Slytherins.
Thinking about: That's not how this works.

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
 Pureblood | Gryffindor | Fourth Year | Fourteen Years Old | Art Club | Music Club➯ September 1, 2046 ➯ Great Hall ➯ With: Rickie, Xav, Gryffindors➯ Wearing:School Robes ➯ Status: Good ol' Abandonment Issues═══════════════════X♫X♌X⚠X═══════════════════ The day had been so fun up until Sorting, but of course, Aldrick just had to ruin it with his usual antics. Lizzie found herself sitting across from him and Xav, but after the topic of dating Jessalyn Prescott came up? No thanks! She wished she had sat with Rod instead. She rolled her eyes, turning her attention back to her sketchbook as she continued her latest piece about a demon cat on a skull.
Suddenly, Lizzie found herself being used as an example for “how to woo a chick” or some s**t. Then there was the return of “Yeti”. Joy! Apparently, she’d always wanted him to ask her. Yeah, right. ‘T’think I was gonna waste my first kiss on this moron.’ Clearly, this boy didn’t know the first thing about asking a lass out properly, and was going to poison poor Xavier’s mind. She’d have to put an end to that.
“Aw, Rickie, you shouldn’t 'ave!” She chimed as she took the picture in her finger tips. A final glance over and a mental ‘Incendio’ later, and the paper burned to nothing. “Really, y’shouldn’t ‘ave. That’s the saddest excuse of a date proposal I’ve ever seen.”
“Listen up, Xav! Last thing ya ever wanna do is listen to Big Bird right ‘ere. Sure, a drawin’ is cute, but it’s the cowards way out. It says ‘I’m a pansy that can’t gather the nerve ta ask directly.’ Bad impression. Just ask the lass. She’ll respect ya more, at the very least.”
Something about Aldrick’s enthusiasm at learning sign language though frustrated her more than anything. It… Wasn’t a bad idea. In fact, it seemed like a nice gesture and Jessalyn would probably appreciate not having to write everything down for once, but for what end? Was he serious about the girl? Lizzie didn’t like that. What if she said yes? What if they started dating, and Jessalyn took up all of Rickie’s time? She went through all this effort to make friends, got attached, and now he was going to leave her behind? Liz huffed. ‘They’re all the bloody same, aren’t they.’ Hell, even August was bound to find someone and ditch her eventually. ‘So much for friendship.’ She turned her attention back to her drawing, quill pressed hard enough against the paper she risked ripping it to shreds. “Whatever. Good luck with that. Just don’t cry t’ me when she dumps yer arse.” ════════════════════════════════════════════════And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
Our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it's always darkest before the dawn |

And just like that, Jet wholeheartedly agreed with his aunt. Gryffindor was in fact, the best house. No doubt, she'd send him a letter any day now with her congratulations and another essay about exactly WHY it was the best house, though Jet knew the real reason. Gryffindor was the best house because they belonged to it, and it was a part of them. And really belonging somewhere makes that place feel like the best place in the world. Once the hat was lifted from his head, Jet whispered his thanks to the thing and grinned from ear to ear. As he made his way to the red-and-gold, he repeated to himself a bit of the hat's song:'I belong in Gryffindor, where dwell the brave at heart, our daring, nerve, and chivalry set Gryffindors apart.' Jet approached the table ready to meet his new family. Now that he knew he was a Gryffindor, he knew it was time to buckle down, be brave, and put down roots here. His eyes scanned the people's faces, searching for someone who seemed to feel like talking to him. He felt like this was such a momentous occasion, and he wanted a friend to acknowledge it with.

She had forgotten to change into her robes on the train, so she quickly changed in the nearest bathroom once she got to the castle. She usually never forgot to do that on the train, but she was feeling rather distracted that day. It was the start of her fourth year at Hogwarts. Her OWLs would be next year, so she needed to start preparing for those in advance, or so she had heard from some of her more intelligent classmates. Quidditch was going to be interesting this year as well, because she had a pretty decent chance of making the starting team, as long as she didn't mess up during tryouts. This was going to be a busy year, that Anna knew for sure. Sliding into her seat among the other Gryffindor students, she smiled and nodded to the ones who noticed her, and tried to play off that she had been there the whole time to the ones who didn't. 【 OOC: open for interaction 】

Not long after taking his seat, the auburn-haired boy scooted toward Jet, introducing himself as Maxwell, or Max. He seemed nice, and was outgoing enough to talk to a stranger. Jet gave him a warm grin and offered his hand. “Nice to meet you, Max,” he said, trying to etch the name into his memory. “I’m Jet.”
“House of the lion, pretty great huh?”
Jet thought about the query for a moment. The lion. A symbol of majesty, courage, strength. He thought of Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia, and he thought of Simba and Mufasa. Some of his favorite characters from some of his favorite stories. He pictured an epic lion’s roar, like the one on the MGM studios intro, and his grin grew wider on his face. “Yeah, pretty great.”
He watched as the sorting finished up, and then as the headmaster took the podium. He half paid attention to the announcements, wondering why the school was built next to a dangerous forest if students weren’t to go there. When the food magically appeared, Jet jumped about a foot. He really needed to get used to this whole magic thing, but something told him it might take a while. Still in awe, he dug in to the feast, realizing only then how starving he was.
“You know, I think I coulda guessed Gryffindor would be home. It makes sense, and my aunt won’t stop raving about how wonderful it is. She’s the only witch I knew before I came. Do you have a family that’s… well, magical?” As the question fell out of his mouth, Jet couldn’t help but wince a bit. Not only did he have a mouthful of food, but he had no idea what kind of questions were and weren’t rude.
