C O R I N N A R E N E E W I L L I A M S Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old
Corinna stepped into a fairly large room with vaulted ceilings behind Deputy Headmistress Thorne, who kept glancing back as if to make sure all the first years were still there. Tiki stuck close by, for which Cori was grateful. She heard her friend answer her query. "Sorted? Into what? How do they do it?" Corinna wondered, finally letting her curiosity get the best of her as she spewed forth the first questions that popped into her mind. All the while, she gazed about the room, at the students behind her, the details of the architecture, and the general magnificence of the place. This castle had seen many, many years, more than Corinna could conceive of, and even more students, professors, and other beings.Still, the sheer history of the place was impressed upon Corinna as she stood there in Hogwarts Castle, waiting for what would happen next.
OOC: Open for interaction, though I won't be on for long, then I'll be traveling until tonight. I will get on tonight, though.

The rest of the first years
Tiberia looked all around her, soaking up the fantastic sight of the Great Hall. It was magnificent, magical, and her new home. A feeling of giddiness welled up inside her and she couldn't stop the smile from etching across her face. The train ride and sailing across the Black Lake was nothing in comparison to standing inside Hogwarts itself. Her eyes shifted from the architecture of the hall to the mass of students surrounding her. Some looked as excited and curious as her, others looked nervous or indifferent. She had heard stories from her parents about their days roaming these halls, feasting on pasties and the trouble they seemed to find themselves in on a weekly basis. Tiberia had known what to expect but being here herself was different. 'I wonder what house I'll be sorted into.' She figured she'd have a decent chance at any, but figured it would either be Ravenclaw, her mother's house, or Slytherin which was her father's. 'I can't wait to start classes! Transfiguration is going to be the best ever! I wonder who my professor will be? Oh, and Potions too! I wonder what they'll have us make first? Obviously something basic, I mean, we are first years after all.' Her thoughts were interrupted as her stomach made an announcement. The excitement was too much for her to eat on the train, so she hadn't had anything all day except for half of a biscuit with clotted cream and jam and a handful of berries. Tib was really looking forward to her first meal as a Hogwarts student, so much so that she could almost taste the roasted chicken and pumpkin juice she swore she smelled.
'Please let the sorting begin soon! I'm not sure I can be still much longer.' She shifted her weight from one foot to the other and fidgeting with her wand through her robe sleeve, almost impatiently. If it didn't begin soon, she'd either wither from starvation, explode from anticipation or wet herself from excitement.

__________________________________________
Shadows danced across the high arched walls of the antechamber as sconces lit the room; a shroud of black robes flocked just outside the entrance to the great hall, all unsorted first years ready to begin their journey. Around her, she could feel the whisper of excitement and hear the quiver of anticipation, it jolted like static across her skin all at once. Savannah's own breath was caught in her throat, nervous fingers grazed the small, square card case in her pockets but resisted the urge to slip the deck free and shuffle the numbers until only it's sound was spinning her mind round the carousel. Hopeful eyes flickered to the students around her as they shuffled closer, and closer, filling the room around her; it was suffocating. One boy had his hands shoved in his pockets, one girl was fidgeting, shuffling her weight between each foot, another pair were 'oohing' and 'aweing' at the magnificence of the castle. Savannah was growing anxious, ready to charge into the great hall and plop that bloody hat on her own damn head if she's forced to wait any longer.

Corinna heard the shuffle of feet about her as the students settled into the room where they waited. An air of anxiousness filled the air, whether from excitement or nervousness Corinna could not guess – probably a bit of both. Tamaki, standing next to her, looked ready to bolt in all directions, she was so thrilled. Corinna smiled, feeling very much the same. She was itching to see more of this wonderful place. Tiki described what her father had told her about sorting, including something about a magic hat! What in the world could a talking hat be good for? Cori’s eyebrows drew together in worry when Tiki said they might be sorted into different houses, and was partially comforted by her statement, but began worrying nonetheless. If they were in different houses, how often would they be able to see each other? Would they get to talk very much at all? 'Quit fretting,' Corinna berated herself, and tried to squash the fear down. She hoped they’d get going with this sorting thing soon. Tiki was right though; the castle was enormous, and very beautiful. Corinna couldn’t wait to call it home.
OOC: My posts will be spotty the next couple days, as my wifi access is limited to whether or not I can pop by a coffee shop for a bit. I’m in Moab, Utah, USA, visiting my grandmother. It’s quite the fun place!

Finally, they entered the Great Hall! It was wonderful, so much more than anything Corinna could have ever dreamed. Four long tables and their respective benches, laden with students, ran the length of the hall, at the end of which was another large table, set perpendicular to the others, where older witches and wizards sat – the professors and other staff. Candles floated overhead, and the ceiling seemed to disappear, the starry night outside taking its place. Torches lined the hall, and tall leaden windows lined every wall. Corinna looked ahead to where Tamaki had pointed out an old, ratty hat sitting on a stool, as if on a pedestal before the staff and students. Tiki, a whole new person in her excitement, grabbed Cori’s hand and pulled her along as they and the other students made their way to the front of the hall where the hat awaited them. Tiki, true to her statement, stepped up to the hat ahead of Corinna. With a deep breath to steady her nerves, Cori prepared to step up to the hat herself and be sorted.

When I see your face There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are
Addison had been so busy lately with studying and homework, that with a Hogsmeade weekend coming up, he wanted to get out. He considered what he could do and, of course, he wanted to bring his girlfriend. But he also wanted to see his friends... the best way to do that was a double date! After all, he always saw Rider and Lyall together and figured that they must be dating. He looked at Pru the same way that Rider looked at Lyall. So he put two and two together... He was looking for either one of them, hoping to talk them into having a double this coming weekend. Searching for either friend, he spotted the blonde hair of the male and smirked, trotting off towards him. "Lyall! Hey Lyall! Wait up!" He maneuvered his way through the crowd of students, heading after his friend.
And when you smile The whole world stops and stares for a while 'Cause girl, you're amazing Just the way you are

Lyall was headed into the Great Hall, as it was nearing lunchtime. He wasn't particularly hungry, but he figured he'd go and sit anyway. It was nicer than being alone in the dormitory, anyhow. As he was strolling along, he heard his name being called. The blonde whirled, blinking as he looked for the caller. As soon as he noticed Addy, he waved cheerfully. "Hello, Addison! Did you need me? I thought I heard my name." He smiled, calmly adjusting his glasses, as he did about eight thousand times a day.

Lyall blinked at Addy, then smiled. His shoulder was clapped, making the blonde look at his arm in confusion. His attention was returned to his friend when he mentioned the upcoming Hogsmeade trip. Addy asked if Lyall wanted to attend an outing, to which the shorter boy nod happily. He then continued to say it would just be the two, Prudence, and Rider. That really confused Lyall. "What about Tori Rae? And Feather! Kota too..." He tilted his head a bit, not currently grasping the thought that it would be a double date. Lyall wasn't even dating!
