"That's a pretty name" Rose smiled, "It is nice to meet you Nicole. Im nervous about these boats too, but since we are with the ground keeper's boat I think we'll be fine" she said trying to sound cheerful. Something about her seemed mildly familiar but she couldn't put her finger on it. She pulled her robe around her closer as a small breeze from the lake made her shiver. It was cold out and she really hoped they could leave soon.

 Vivien Kensington -- First YearHer brown eyes wandered to the boat of the ground's keeper. The safe boat Vivien reminded herself as she took the lantern and took her place at the front of the boat. She was going to make the most of this experience, and she would start by overcoming one of her greatest fears; her fear of the water. Especially water which held the unknown. She was quivering, out of excitement and fear. More excitement than fear, since she let the issue of house placement take root in her mind. Her parents had always told her to 'create her own tradition', and by that they refused to tell her which houses that they had been placed into as students here at Hogwarts (a school which both had attended). The longer we wait, the more impatient and nervous I grow. She tried to smile falsely again, but it came out as more of a grimace.

Adele hesitated when she saw the water. She wasn't a big fan of anything wet, but she wouldn't like to sit with the Groundskeeper just when she befriended someone. She sighed heavily and took a seat beside Blake. She glanced up at the moon, then it's reflection on the dark-tinted water. Holding her books close to her, she crossed her legs and looked around, frowning softly as she did so. Her blue eyes followed Hope, her dormouse, as she rapidly crawled down to the pocket of her robes.

Roisin O'Brennan  Roisin's small boat was quiet as the students reflected on their emotions or maybe thought about their sorting fortune. The ride was mostly smooth, and she didn't think about it herself. Roisin's emotions were lulling into a serene contentedness. She was even indifferent to the sorting, though partial to Slytherin herself, Roisin knew she'd make alliance whichever House was destined to be hers.
In the corner of her eye, Roisin saw movement beneath the Lake's surface. She smiled as she watched the infamous Giant Squid swim so close it could have easily breached the surface, catching a glimpse of them, the first years, the new arrivals. The fresh meat. She couldn't help but smile at that. Roisin hid the wicked smile behind her hand as the Squid disappeared again.
The fellow holding the Lantern was missing all the subtle details and she did not envy him that particular duty. How could one enjoy the sailing, with a glaring bright light distracting one's vision of the shadows and darkness beyond. But the boat followed Professor Duke's boat ever so slowly, but Roisin was happy to take time on this rare, but hopefully new experience, to enjoy the views.

 Ƀlake Ɇthelwine╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
A golden haired head looked side to side. Many people seem to have no affection for the black lake. It made sense. It was eerie looking, was home to merpeople, a giant squid and could get you wet. Blake wasn't keen to getting wet but this was all part of the Hogwarts tradition was it not? Might as well suck it up and take a good look at the towering structure that was Hogwarts. Blake was still holding Adele's books and had wondered where she had gone until she sat next to him. She didn't look very satisfied with the conditions in which they were given. "There you are! What's wrong?"

 xxx●Åɓigαil Tɾottєɾxx"Aravis... I'll catch you later," Abi said faintly as she patted the girl's arm. She was quickly becoming attached to her new friend, but the wonders of wizarding people flew from her mind the moment she saw the great expanse of the black lake before her. "Gotta find groundskeeper..." was all Abi could mutter to herself. She could not stop shivers constantly chasing each other down her spine. Thankfully she caught the last few words of Miss Duke's offer for students less prone to being around water to share her boat. She spotted the boat in question and clambered in, freezing with a leg in the air when it rocked ever so slightly. She acknowledged the other occupants with a nod before sinking down and burying her face between her knees with eyes so tightly shut that her face ached. The slow motion of the waves lapping against the side had Abi fighting with her own stomach already. xx

Sparrow Farrell----First Year----
Sparrow grinned at Archades. She thought he was very nice and wondered if was going to be her first friend at Hogwarts. In response to his question she answered, "I'm hoping towards Gryffindor. My entire family has been in Gryffindor before me." She wanted to continue the family tradition. It was a little pressure on her. She just wanted to get it over with. She continued and said, "Though I wouldn't mind Ravenclaw. What about you? What house do you want to be in?"

Adele turned back to Blake, lost in her thoughts. She was humming a small, silent tune to herself as she analyzed the water. Now she had to admit it, she was kind of scared. She never liked anything related to water, or damp weather, or anything else. She winced and shivered slightly, biting her lower lip on the thought of water having contact with her.
"Umm, nothing.", she shook her head, forcing a soft, reassuring smile, "I got lost in my thoughts." she mumbled as she gazed down timidly.

 "Alright, see you Abi!" Aravis said, slightly sorrowful. Her new friend was quite interesting, and seemed to find lots of interest in Aravis. Hopefully, they would be able to see each other throughout the course of the year. That is, if luck actually worked in their favor. Looking out upon the lake, Aravis felt a chill go down her spine. It truely was black, and it seemed to take the dreariness of a person and multiply it tenfold. Then again, perhaps that was because it was dark out. She hoped the lake looked a bit better once the ever illusive sun came out. In truth, the girl with two different colors in her eyes had never really been around water much. Her father took her out on a boat once, but he had been there to hold her hand. How she desprately wished he were here now. She spoted a boat nearby and climbed in. It rocked hently, causing the girl to almost lose her balance, but she remained upright. Aravis sat down upon the bench and took out a book as the boat began to move. Luckily for her, it seemed to know to follow the Groundkeeper's. Otherwise, she would be drifting hopelessly out there with the Giant Squid lurking around.

  Having made sure that Professor Duke knew he was there, Jadyn made his way toward the boats. Looking around, he saw that some of his classmates had already started making acquaintances. He was eager to do the same. Spotting a boat that had a boy who looked like someone Jadyn could easily get along with and a girl that seemed somewhat uneasy, clutching her books to her chest, he headed in their direction. Stopping outside the boat, Jadyn smiled warmly at the two. "Mind if I join you?"

Adele's discomfort of the situation was apparent, Brook reading her like a book. "Would you like to hold my hand?" He offered Adele. Blake knew what it was like to feel scared or uncomfortable; fortunate enough to have parents or someone to be with him when that happened. With that sense of upbringing, Blake wanted to make sure that no friend of his was to get through it themselves. The boat rocked slightly and looked back on who had joined the boat. A boy with curly hair stepped in, Blake offering a warm smile. "Oh not at all!" He exclaimed. "I'm Blake. Blake Ethelwine."

  Cœur was lost in her own thoughts, but left the dreamy state when she thought she heard that familiar voice within her head, urging her to follow the others to the Lake. As she ran, her heart pulsed madly, knowing that the beginning of her journey at Hogwarts had begun.
❧ ❧ ❧
She stopped in front the dark waters, suddenly hit by a small breeze. She relaxes, relieved that she was at a comfortable environment. She grew up near the sea, and was really used to a setting with water. She chewed silently as she watched her classmates select boats. Confusion swept over her, and anxiety also joined into the mixture as she frantically searched for her friends.
Unfortunately, she could not find any of them, thus boarded an empty boat, holding a lantern to light the way. She looked around, still not hopeless, and smiled when she spotted Nicole with the
Groundskeeper.

 Morvin Varren Morvin was sitting away from the other children in the boat with him, looking out into the water with disdain. He didn't want to be away from home; in a place where he'd have to associate with Muggle born and blood traitors. He missed his father, who he hadn't seen much of the summer and his mother who would bring him his meals in bed if he so wished. Sighing heavily, he caught sight of a girl, someone whom he recognized slightly from a picture he was shown of her parents. Giovanni, he was sure her surname was. Her family was well known in the circles that his family inhabited. Nodding to himself, he decided that he would have to make time to get to know her better once they were sorted.

 Though she was unsure of herself and all that was going on around her, Jacqueline checked in with Professor Duke like all of the other students had done before her. She scanned the crowd searching for a friendly face, eventually settling on Jadyn. She slipped into place next to him, "Would you mind too terribly if I joined you?" She asked him, her voice shaking.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Jadyn Kinzer," he smiled as he sat down in the boat. It rocked lightly with the motion, then settled peacefully once he had situated himself. A voice behind him caused him to turn and stir up the boat once more. "Sure you can join us," he replied happily to the girl that stood there. "I'm Jadyn. What's your name? And I know I'm excited. What about you all?"He glanced between the occupants of the boat. "What house are you hoping for? Personally, I don't much care as long as I get along with the people in my house. I think I'd probably fit best with Gryffindor, though." He didn't really think he was the Slytherin type, nor did he think he was booksmart enough to be a Ravenclaw. He saw that he could potentially be a Hufflepuff, but he didn't think he was timid or shy like many of them seemed to be. Gryffindor was where he felt he would best fit, and for that reason he supposed that was where he hoped most to be sorted. But like he had said, it didn't much matter. As long as he was somewhere that he could make friends, he was happy.
