Vincent Maverick Drake | Male | Slytherin | 6th Year | Great Hall | Tags: Emilia Pond

Slightly surprised, Vincent looked over at her upon her first comment. "Well, I see that you love people," he noted, in a joking tone, although not a mocking one. He let his eyes wander to the other tables, observing the different people in the room. Nonetheless, he listened carefully and nodded to himself as Emilia spoke.
When she jumped in her seat he turned his head rapidly, assuming that something had gone wrong. However, when he looked, nothing seemed off, but after a few moments of thinking, he put two and two together. It had likely been the sound he heard just a second before; surely, Emilia would be more sensitive to things that others were not- she had to rely on her other senses more heavily. The student didn't plan to make a remark regarding her surprise, as he saw her face turn pink and presumed that it would only bring further embarrassment, but to his shock, she admitted it herself. "Hey," he said, trying to equal her tone in quietness, "I'm sure it can't be too long now. Just wait," his voice brightened as he spoke, "soon there will be food." He lifted his hands from the table in a rainbow-type-movement in front of his face before realizing that the gesture was relatively pointless.

So-Hui "Zoe" Moon | Ravenclaw | First year | Ravenclaw table | @Open, mentioning Iridian

In the line of students yet to be sorted, Zoe could see one girl, a blonde, drawing pictures on something. Which was strange. Surely she had to know that was a bad idea? The sorting seemed to be faring a little on the erratic side (maybe names had been added on in separate periods of a few months' separation, and alphabetised within that? That would make sense), so how would she know when her name was being called if she was busy drawing? If her name was called, and she didn't notice, and the whole school just had to wait until she realised, that would be by far the most humiliating thing that could happen.
But on the other hand, if she was acting that blasè about something so potentially disastrous, that suggested a lot of confidence, and Zoe could respect that. It would be interesting to see whether she was just absent minded or the most Gryffindor-ish Gryffindor that ever lived.
The second would make rather a large contrast to Zoe herself right now. A group of older Ravenclaws were talking just a few seats down, and she had decided she wanted to try talking to them, to at least have someone to answer the questions she had, and talk to her about the school. Her decision had not yet been acted on, however, as they were constantly talking, and there was no place for her to slip in her own words. She kept opening her mouth whenever there seemed to be a pause, and for fear of seeming rude, closing it again whenever the next person spoke. She probably looked like a very polite gold-fish.
Maybe she'd feel like that could wait until morning if there were more Ravenclaws being sorted who seemed vaguely like her.

Atticus LaVigne | Hufflepuff | Third year | Hufflepuff table | @Venus

Atticus could see her panic, and as soon as he was done talking entirely tried his best to hide his surprise. "Don't get me wrong, most people aren't so considerate about it. That's the surprise, not... anything bad, okay? It's actually quite nice, you know? Loads of people freak out w- with some illnesses, just because they're not sure how to deal with it." Okay, for more reasons than that, but that was at least one reason. And it genuinely was nice to have been able to say that much and have a sympathetic reaction and not freaking out about being contagious.
"Well, there's been a lot of research been done over the years, and there's no known cure. There's some ways to make it better, but no cure."
He was almost more astonished to hear her offer again, and worked a little harder to hide the emotional response to not worry her overly when she genuinely was being really lovely. There was no reason to make her feel bad for caring about his wellbeing, and she really did seem to be doing that. "I'm sure I'll be able to. Just follow my nose and all that." Atticus went for a cheeky smile at her last addendum, pretty sure he did indeed know what, and glad that she still was up for that.
"You know, once we've got our time-tables tomorrow breakfast, I could come straight over the rather small gap between our tables and just say when I'm free for that; basically what days I don't have astronomy. It'd be a lot easier than having to come in the n- in times it would be better not to be found, just to say when we could do anything. No point risking being caught any more times than needed."

|Sydney Sinclair|Gryffindor|Fourth Year|Tags: Open|

Sydney took a steady breath as she glanced around the Gryffindor table. She figured she ought to introduce herself to someone; get to know her new housemates. However, in her nervous state, maybe that wasn't the best idea. Perhaps I should sketch something, she reckoned; drawing always seemed to calm her nerves. There was just something about the scratching of pencil against paper, the fluid movements of one's hand as art was born beneath it. Luckily, she kept a miniature sketchbook in her robes, so she removed it as well as a small pencil from an inside pocket and began to sketch. She wasn't sure what, at first, but soon it started to develop into a lion; the symbol of her new house.

|Killian Errested|Slytherin|Sixth Year|Tags: Catherine, Minty, Professor Byrne|

Killian tried to act nonchalant, but worry fluttered in his stomach. Luckily, the matron arrived post-haste and began to inspect Minty. Killian's eyes flickered with concern as the matron asked her to show her the source of her pain.

|Jacqueline "Jackie" Carrow|Hufflepuff|Seventh Year|Tags: Felicity, Atsuko|

Jackie turned her head to her left, finding the newly sorted Atsuko seated next to her. "There's a feast first - the food will appear after the Sorting; then we can go up to our dorms," she explained with a warm smile. "It looks like it's getting close to being finished with soon." Another name was called, still out of the typical order.
"Farukon Raikaze."

|Beatrice Byrne|Head of Ravenclaw House|Transfiguration Professor|Tags: Minty, Killian|

Beatrice's frosted stare softened. "I'll go speak with the matron; it's possible she'll know what to do." She stalked back to the High Table, discreetly perusing the other professors until her gaze alighted upon the matron. She bent down to whisper the situation into the matron's ear, to which the matron arose with alarm and hurried over to the Slytherin table. Beatrice followed at a slower pace, watching the scene with a distanced distinction.

Minty Shaesa//Slytherin//Tags;; Killian, Catherine
"M-my tattoo." Minty said, shocked. She looked over to Killian. "Don't worry about me." She tried to smile. She winced in pain. Her infinty sign glowed white. She was shocked. "W-white?"

Felicity Helens/Female/Bi/Hufflepuff/Fourth Year/Tags; Jackie, Atsuko

Felicity nodded with a small smile to agree with Jackie's explanation; She didn't want the new Hufflepuff to become overwhelmed. Atsuko wasn't it?- looked around the same age as 'City, she was probably a transfer, it would explain the Japanese-sounding last name. Shrugging slightly, the Hufflepuff found her attention dragged back towards the sorting, which was strange from the out-of-order names.

Farukon Raikaze/Closeted Non-Binary/Pan/Ravenclaw/Sixth Year/Tags; Open, Atsuko (Mentioned)

"Farukon Raikaze." Faru's eyes widened slightly, not expecting to be called up so soon. They bit the inside of their cheek gently, walking forwards to the ratty, old enchanted hat. Sitting down on the stool, they blinked uncomfortably in the dark, as the hat's rim came just over their eyes. "Ah.. yes. Another transfer from Mahoutokoro. You wouldn't make a bad Hufflepuff either. Hmm.. Lots of hidden intelligence, that feather of yours is a nice color." The transfer had to fight the urge to touch their bracelet hidden under their robes, the feather currently a light blue. "Very excellent patience I see. I would have to choose... RAVENCLAW!" Farukon's ears rung slightly with the volume the hat had shouted the house of intellectuals, and the hat was pulled from their head. Sliding off of the wooden stool, they fiddled with their bracelet as they walked down and found a decently empty spot, quickly sitting down at the table. 'What was the name before me..? Wait.. Atsuko? Wait a minute.' The new Ravenclaw glanced over at the Hufflepuffs, doing a quick scan before their gaze returned to the table in front of them when they realized there were too many people to see if it was the Atsuko they knew.

|Killian Errested|Slytherin|Sixth Year|Tags: Catherine, Minty, Professor Byrne|

Though Killian wasn't about to miss the feast, he didn't want to leave Minty either. Would that make me a bad friend? His stomach gave a hungry growl as if arguing with his mind, to which he simply glared at it and looked back up at Minty with a softer gaze. "Will you be alright in the infirmary on your own?" he asked, uncertain of what to hope.

|Jacqueline "Jackie" Carrow|Hufflepuff|Seventh Year|Tags: Felicity, Atsuko|

"Aaaaand they're screwing up the order of names even more," Jackie commented with mild amusement. "They're supposed to say the last name first, then the first name. Or at least that's how it's been done for the past six years." The cluster of unsorted first years had dwindled to a mere few, luckily for the newly developed pit of hunger in her gut. She glanced up briefly as the next name was called.
"Valentine, Iridian."
"Well, at least they've got the last-then-first order correct this time," Jackie noted dryly. "I can tell by the inflection. Maybe the professor who's reading off names is new? I don't think I've seen them before."

|Beatrice Byrne|Head of Ravenclaw House|Transfiguration Professor|Tags: Minty, Killian|

Though she would never admit it, Beatrice was utterly astounded. In all her time immersed in the magical world, she'd never seen anything quite like this. I'd like very much to study that, if only it wasn't causing the girl pain... If there was one thing she cared about more than learning new things, it was her students. "Let's get you to the infirmary, then," she murmured.

Natalie Anderson || Hufflepuff || Female || 4th Year ||Seeker||Ravenclaw Table ||Tags: Jayden Stark. || Other/OOC:

"I forgot about that!" She semi-Whispered. Looking at the other students "Hmm... Which one?" She Asked. Remembering her first time Playing the 'Tradition'

Atsuko Fukunaga||Transfer Student from Mahoutokoro|Hufflepuff||Female||4th Year||Chaser||Hufflepuff Table||Tags: Jackie, Farukon (Mentioned!)||Ooc/Others:

"Oh, uhm.., thank you about that..." She said, Drifting off to sleep. She was too tired to think. After hours and hours on the train. She couldn't resist herself to go to Sleep. As she was Drifting, she Heard 'Farukon Raikaze' being sorted. After Farukon was Sorted, She couldn't resist herself to see it with her own eyes. Turns out she was right. "Are you sure that's... Farukon?" She asked the girl. Just conforming if that is him. Looking at him

Venus Vixx | Gryffindor
Her nerves began to settle shortly after Atticus spoke again. His reassurance meant a lot to her, as most were turned off by her anxiousness, and she really hoped that he knew how grateful she was for it. Even more so now, since he'd been so kind to her, she was intent on doing anything possible to come to his aid if need be. Whatever it was, it sure didn't sound easy, and if there was any way Venus could make it easier, she would. As someone that had struggled through more than her share of tough times, she found happiness in helping others above all.
"That sounds excellent, really. I tend to get all my work done as early as possible, to give myself a bit of free time. This grand old place is just teeming with mysteries, oddities, and adventures waiting to be had! There's far more than anyone could discover in a lifetime, but I don't think there's any shame in using as much time as I can to find as much as I can. Perhaps now I'll have an accomplice in doing so." Her last sentence was said with a flourish of a hand gesture towards Atticus and an even wider grin.
