Eleanora McKenny
Unsorted First Year
As her boat bumped against the dark wood of the dock, Nora helped out one of the students - he looked seasick, poor thing, and had probably never been on a boat before. She climbed out last, with a last glance back at the twinkling lights of Hogsmead Station shimmering in the distance. Biting the inside of her lip, she turned to look up at the castle entrance, feeling butterflies take flight inside her stomach.
She trotted quickly down the dock, her mussed red curls jumping around her cloaked shoulders as she neared the doors. She skirted around what appeared to be a blonde princess behind helped out of the boat, and couldn't help wrinkling her freckled nose. 'I suppose not everyone has the strength to get out of a boat on their own.' she mused silently, skirting around and up towards the doors. The groundskeeper stood nearby, looking for all the world as the most elegant woman Nora had ever seen. She clustered with the rest of the new students, silently taking in the sights while feeling anticipation buzz through her nerves - something she was not accustomed to.

And you can tell everybody, this is your song,
It may be quite simple but, now that it's done...
... I hope you don't mind ....
... I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
ℳιяαηđα ✧ ℱαusт 1st Year [x]✦ Unsorted ✦ Feeling like a Dork ✦ Boathouse ✦ With Terren and Erica
`•.¸¸.•´´¯`••.¸¸.•´´¯`•´`•.¸¸.•´´¯`••.¸¸.•´´¯`•´
• Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est. •
As the boat rocked to a full stop, Miranda finally let herself exhale and relax. It wasn't the boat that made Miranda nervous - she had gone boating countless times, but never on a boat that propelled itself without a motor. Not only that, there wasn't any visible way of steering. It took all the willpower in her not to scream out and make a fool of herself in front of her future classmates, and by the end of the ride Marmite had two large patches of scrunched up fur where Miranda had a death grip on the furry creature. "How bloody brill was that? Oh my god...!" She said aloud as she looked from Erica to Terren then back again. Miranda let out a half-horrified, half-excited squeak of a laugh before standing up on shaky legs. "Finally at Hogwarts... we're going to become wizards and witches... I don't even know what to say..." By the time Erica climbed out of the boat, Miranda had regained her balance. She headed over to the edge, placing her free hand on the side of the boat as she lifted one leg over the side. Right at that moment, the little fluff ball in her arms looked up at the girl, wiggling its nose before it too began to stretch its limbs out.
A look of sheer panic flashed on Miranda's face as she struggled to keep the thing in her arms. "Marmite! No! Stay sti--" Before she could finish her sentence, the bunny shot out of her arm, landing with a gentle thud on the seat of the boat while Miranda tipped backwards, losing what little balance she had to begin with on her one foot. The girl fell back-first, plunging into the freezing water beneath as she created a sizable splash. Before she could register what happened, the displaced water came flooding back to soak the front of Miranda's clothes. The girl's hands shot out of the water into the air as a look of shock appeared on her face. "Hoooo that's cold...." Was all she could manage before Miranda threw her head back and broke out in a cackling, snorting laugh.

☀ When the sun shines, we'll shine together. Told you I'll be here forever.
🍂 Said I'll always be a friend. Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end.
Terren stood to exit the boat after Erica, following her onto the shore. He stood in line beside her, smiling at her grin. She sure was happy! Which was good, because he was happy too! "I hope we can still be friends if we're sorted into different houses, Erica." he said, and he meant it. She was a bit shy and didn't talk much, but that was okay. He wasn't shy at all and like to talk a lot, so he could easily fill the silence she provided at times. "You too, Miranda! We can all be friends-- Miranda!" At this point, Terren heard the splash and went running for the boats again. He blinked at his friend as she started laughing. She just fell into the lake! How was that funny?! "Miranda, are you alright? Need a hand up?" he asked her, seriously concerned for her well-being. What if she got hypothermia or whatever it was called?! 'I would jump in after her, but Heather might get mad at me if I show up to the feast dripping wet...' he thought as he awaited a reply from Miranda. Where was a professor when you needed one?!
Now that it's raining more than ever, know that we'll still have each other. ☁
You can stand under my umbrella. You can stand under my umbrella. ☂

Emperors and kings are but obeyed in their several provinces,
but his dominion that exceeds in this...
... stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man.
A sound magician is a demigod.
ɀander ◒ ɢarcia
First Year // Unsorted // Indifferent // Boathouse
Though thou hast now offended like a man, Do not persever in it like a devil.
As the boats reached the dock, Zander gazed at the castle with an intense look of boredom on his face. Sure, it was big and grand and everything the pamphlets had promised, but who cares? It was a castle like any other castle. What did these kids expect? But then Zander was reminded of the fact that not all the students had the luxury or the privilege of being born into a magical family. 'Mudbloods...' Zander thought as his lips curled into a frown. The sight of the other students in awe at the thing made the boy roll his eyes in disdain.
As he climbed out of the boat and onto the dock, Zander heard a splash behind him, followed by laughter. He sighed, turning to see what the commotion was all about. 'Some dimwitted girl who fell out of the boat... nothing more to see here' Zander thought to himself as he watched the girl struggle in the water. Pushing any further thought of the subject from his mind, Zander turned his back on the small group of first years. Instead of jumping in to help her, the boy stuffed his hands in his pockets and trudged forward past the docks, heading to where the majority of the pack was at the stairs.

Veronica Kiss
[UNSORTED] House: Unsorted
Blood Status: Muggleborn
Wand: Inflexible//13 inches//Laurel//Dragon Heartstring
Current Age: 11
Year at Hogwarts: 1st year
Man overboard... at least it wasn't someone from my boat? That would have been probably one of us shoving the other overboard.
Ronna rolled her blue eyes at Hayden's comment about the boat ride being 'pleasant' and her princess treatment by Dmitri. One her expectation of it was comical. And, two, Dmitri giving in made her want to roll her eyes and laugh. This wasn't the era of princes and princesses: or maybe it was for people like them. Not that she would know anything about it.
That was when Ronna heard a splash behind her and turned quickly to see a girl who had fallen in the lake and laughing with snorts at her predicament. That girl seemed more fun to hang out with than the crowd she had gotten stuck with. She stepped out of line ready to rush to the girl's aid if someone else did not get there soon, but she was already pretty far away in line waiting for where they would be lead next. Next stop would be to be sorted, right? She smiled when she saw the boy with green eyes and brown hair from her boat call to ask if she was alright.
Location: the Boathouse In Company of: no one in particular [Wearing: plain black school robes]

ʻHer bone structure screamsʼ
ʻTouch her! Touch her!ʼ
ʻAnd she's got the curse of curvesʼ
Kat looked over just in time to see a girl miss the dock and fall into the water."Oh Dear. Everyone step back."SHe ordered as she moved passed them to the girl in the water. She reached down and pulled the girl out and on to the dock. Getting water all over her dress as well."Are you okay dear?" She asked the drenched student.
ʻI want someone provocative and talkativeʼ
ʻBut it's so hard when you're shallow as a showerʼ
ʻAnd from what I've heard with skin you'll winʼ

ℳιяαηđα ✧ ℱαusт 1st Year [x]✦ Unsorted ✦ Sopping Wet but Lively ✦ Boathouse ✦ With Terren, Erica and Katariina

• Nam et ipsa scientia potestas est. •
Immediately after the fall, Marmite poked his furry head out of the boat, looking up at Terren and then at Erica. After making a series muffled clicking noises and twitching its nose, the rabbit climbed out of the boat and onto the edge of the dock, innocently nestling itself on the ground between the two before looking at Miranda.
"Haah! Bloody hell I'm such a mess!" Miranda said between laughs as she found herself treading the water to stay afloat. At this point, water was everywhere and she was drenched, there was no salvaging the situation or telling herself otherwise. "Don't worry guys! Really! This isn't the first time I've fallen into the water..." She told them casually before swimming towards the edge of the dock. "...I trust it won't be my last time either. I have my nan to thank for putting me into swimming lessons early, but this water is well cold." The girl said to the two. Her face was flushed with embarrassment at the scene she was causing as she could see another girl who had already been in line break from her spot to come to the docks, but her tone of voice was calm and collected - casual as ever as Miranda merely brushed the fall off. Miranda arrived at the edge just in time for Katariina to arrive and pull her out. The girl gave the Keeper of the Keys an apologetic smile as she nodded. "I slipped, no worries ma'am... I'm fine, really." She told the woman, trying as hard as she could to hold back her laughter, though it only resulted in a dorky smile on Miranda's face. "I'm sorry for getting you wet though... you really didn't have to pull me out, I could have climbed out myself and spared you the trouble."

She smiled down at the student."No worries, I am a Witch after all."She stood up and held out her hand for the girl. Pulling out her wand she pointed it at herself and said a spell ridding her of all the water of her and then the student."There dear now move along." She instructed as professor Brighton has arrived.

Amory Goodwin
First Year ~~~~ ____ House ~~~~~ Eleven Years Old ~~~~Boathouse to Great Hall Entrance
Once the boats all docked, students began to disembark. Mory climbed out of her boat with ease, glad to be on 'land' sort to speak, only because the motion of the boat was starting to put her to sleep. It would seem there was quite a bit of chatter, to be expected from excitement. Up ahead, she heard one of the girls shout and then a splashing noise. Amory could only assume the girl fell in. How clumsy. After the blonde woman helped her out she assured all those around her that she was OK and it wasn't her first time falling in water. Mory would have thought the girl would take better care then.
As Amory and the others gathered a man, introducing himself as Professor Lukas Brighton instructed them to follow him to the castle. She doubted anyone would disobey. She was sure that they were all eager to either eat, be sorted, make new friends, sleep, or all of the above. Amory was ready for it to be time for that all as well although more so for it to be over with.
((Sorry for being so late >.<; So much happened in a day!)) |

And we both go down together...we'd stay there forever...just try to get up
Sergio Mourinho Di Maria
Unsorted♽Pureblood♽Eleven
I always sing you sad songs...and you can sing along...and you can see your melody is calling out your wrongs.
Sergio watched as Ronna quickly exited the boat. It amused him. He didn't blame her quite frankly, how would she know that she walked on a boat full of elites, including him himself, but he was trying to get away from that attitude as of late, which is why he tried to befriend her. He most likely failed, but he tried. And he wasn't going to rush to try and befriend anymore Muggleborns, except Ronna. For whatever reason, he could not bring himself to be mean to the girl. He just simply could not. Hayden on the other hand, mocking and cold, he could and when she got Dmitri to get her out of the boat, he chuckled. "What's the matter Princess, never gotten out of a boat before? Or do you need your little boyfriend to help you?" he asked, smiling at her with a mocking look on his face. He found it funny that she needed an escort just to get out of a bloody boat. In fact, what he wanted to do was give that slightest, 'accidental' nudge that would put her over the barriers of the boat and into the water. Now that, that would be hilarious.
And with his luck, he was in line behind the Russian and the Princess, just waiting to be sorted. And as they walked he contemplated stepping on the back of their feet, knowing that they would fall, but he finally decided against it. What would father say? Actually he would probably kill him...literally. His father was excited to hear what was concealed within his wand however. A true Slytherin, he said, knowing the Basilisk Tongue core within made him destined for greatness. But that exciting moment would be more than deplete if he saw Sergio walking up to his doorstep two days after he left. Of that would be the day. He truly wondered what the killing weapon would be. .44 raptor magnum...maybe an Uzi...maybe the Barrett .50 cal sniper (yes, he actually has one)...or maybe, the good ol' fashion death curse. That too. Either way, they all would end in the same way.
Sergio kept to himself, surveying over the many kids that walked the same path as he, obviously lesser.
I never told you everything. Your losing hope and fading dreams and every single memory along the way
And I'm sorry, this wasn't easy...I ask you believe me...and never let go

First Year ø Unsorted ø Muggleborn
"Music is easy and simple, you don't have to worry about things like betrayal." ♮ Yesenia was a bit slow to get out of the boat, she was seeing if the other girl was going to get out. But the group was leaving, and she certainly didn't want to get left behind. "C'mon, or we'll miss our sorting," she said, waving the girl on as Yesenia herself got out of the boat quickly, without rocking it, and caught up with the rest of the group. She saw that Veronica had survived her boat ride, and thought about calling out, but figured she probably wanted to make other friends. "It's not all about you," she chastised herself as she followed the professor and the group. ♯ "But in life, your best friends can end up as your worst enemies."
