Ariana hadn't found Chase in the crowd until he walked up to the boat she sat in. "Hiiiii," she said, holing the 'i' sound for a full second. Chase did a great job of washing away the blood. His face was completely visible because of the lantern, and nobody could tell he had a nosebleed. "Have you seen Sam?" she asked, continuing to look through the crowd of students. I hope he didn't go and sit in a different boat, she thought, wanting to stick with the two friends she made for the rest of the night.

Selene could sense the nervous excitement of the students around her. With their awed whispers and frantic movements. It seemed that the one thing all the students had in common was that they were uncertain of what to expect. Though Selene would never be willing to admit it, she, too, knew very little of what was to come. The difference between her and the other students, though, was that, when faced with uncertainly, Selene's upbringing allowed her a lesson to fall back on. Observe the others, she recalled her mother's wise words, let others be the first to make a mistake. This was, essentially, her guiding philosophy. Allow others to fall before you. Let their foolhardiness and rash actions lead to their downfall. Always observe and make yourself aware of your enemies weaknesses. One need not be the first, but they certainly cannot be the last, at least in the beginning. Of course, as the game runs on, a pureblood must always rise to the top. After all, cream rises to the top and the Gillette certainly saw themselves as the creme de le creme.

What did perturb Selene was the number of obvious mudbloods. She had always been taught that true wizarding purebloods were hard to find, but, in this, a school of magic, a school for only the best students, she certainly did nto expect to find so many...mediocre students. For, she was well aware that only purebloods could make fine wizards. Why would Hogwarts waste their time on teaching less than excellent students. This thought brought a slight scowl to her face.

As she reached the water's edge, she followed the other students' lead. Always assessing their choices and actions and the results it yielded them. She stepped into a boat, keeping her dignified posture, and waited, seemingly patiently, as the other students arrived.

Heather sat with Remy in the boat. It was dark outside, and Heather was a little freaked out by that. She didn't take kindly to the dark.
"Rem, how long do you think it will take to get to the school?" she asks nervously.

Heather, too, could see the lights in the distant. She heard Remy's suggestion to think of the spells she had read about, and nodded, deciding to try the idea.
Okay. What were some of those basic ones? Incendio makes fire. Flipendo knocks your opponet backwards. Petrificus Totalus paralyses your opponet. Mimble Wimble makes your opponets tongue tied.
Heather continued to list spells in her head, calming her nerves.
The two best friends sat quietly, awaiting their arrival at Hogwarts.

Ariana moved the lantern that she held. "Sorry, I didn't mean for it to be in face," she said apologetically. She ignored the last thing that Chase said. Where is he? The faster he gets here, the sooner we can go, she thought, wanting to get to Hogwarts and be sorted already.

LOCATION: In a boat with Ben.

THOUGHTS: Filthy Mudblood.

MOOD: Snobbish.

Pathetic Ben was sitting alone. Matt had half a mind to leave him to enjoy the fact that he was a pathetic Mudblood. Still he sighed, waved Samuel goodbye and made his way over to the boat that held Benjamin St. Cloud, and got in shakily. Yia had made him practice so he didn't fall in. So once he sat down in the boat, making sure he wasn't touching the filth. He remained quiet as he stared ahead. He had no idea why he was sitting here, in this boat, with this filth.

What makes you happy?

I wonder... what makes you happy...

Does it make others happy, too?

Ariana didn't think about the double meaning behind what Chase had said. She hadn't even realized that there might've been one. "My arm is getting tired," she said as she placed the lantern on the boat floor. Stretching her arm, she watched as another student went and sat in the boat next to her with the blond boy.

Rutam beamed at Shina as she boarded the boat. "It's a pleasure to meet you too." She was settling herself down across from her "boat-mate" when another person came forward and introduced himself, asking to ride with them. "Sure, we don't mind. Hop aboard!" Her hand patted the seat next to her and she scooted over. "My name's Rutam Umbra, but you can call me Rue if you want."

Her attention was captured by Elliot's nervous hands. They were holding a book, a textbook of some sort, and this intrigued Rutam since it was too dark even with the glowing lantern to see the title. "Do you mind if I ask what book you're reading?" She loved to read. Her interests were wide and varied from topic to topic in passion and knowledge, but an unknown book was a small mystery to be solved.

UNSORTED 1st Year

• Rona forced down a breath of cold air.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny heads poked out of steadily sailing boats, and none of them were familiar. How could they be? Just the day before she'd never seen anything magical, any young witches and wizards included. She knew nothing about their world, save for the abrupt history lesson given by her father on the car ride to the station. She heard tales of great and powerful wizards, fierce battles and a new time of peace, all of which seemed right out of a story book. Seeing the castle just on the horizon nearly made the girl faint. This was no joke.

Everything she'd always hoped could be was absolutely true.

She lingered behind walls of eager students, all of which seemed to be discussing things she'd never heard of and throwing around words like Quibbage and Perfects and blah blah blah... she had so much time to make up for. All of the First Years chattered away like Magpies and she was the only one who hadn't a clue.

Rona kept her eyes on the boats, trying to seem inconspicuous, waiting for an opening... •

Being as she was already settled into a boat Payton simply glanced around at the new faces. 'Move it along students, hurry up,' the words almost slipped form her mouth but she really didn't feel like having to deal with the smart mouth that she knew would reply. The female glanced once more at the two females seeing as the were so silent. She was enjoying it quite a bit. 'They aren't so bad after all,' as she thought this amusement filled her for an unknown reason.

Out of her the corner of her eyes she she saw a female caught behind a mass of students, with about as much enthusiasm -or lack there of- as she did. 'Someone a bit more like me. Thats interesting.' She eyed the female some then pursed her lips. 'I'm writing this off as my good deed for the day.' She thought as she caught the girls eye and motioned for her to join them.

Ariana let out a chuckle. "Just a bit," she agreed. What was taking Sam so long? Ariana looked at the girl whom Chase pointed to. "I think she's just nervous," she said reassuringly. Why wouldn't she be nervous? Why wouldn't anyone be nervous on their first day at Hogwarts? Especially since they haven't even arrived yet.
