“Nice to meet you,” Reina said smiling “Reina and Kakashi of the Uchiha clan.” She said picking the kitten up and placing him on her shoulder.

Beatrice nearly stopped breathing after she read the first name - it was her nephew, Patrick. His resemblance to her sister Elisa pricked her in the heart. She couldn't deny her surprise when he was sorted into Slytherin; her sister had been a Hufflepuff, and her brother-in-law a Wampus. She forced herself through the list of first years and transfer students, keeping a cold, detached tone per the usual.

Sydney could have sworn she'd stopped breathing when they reached the Ss.
"Sinclair, Sydney."
Sydney's stomach did a backflip as she forced her shaky legs to move to the front of the room. Her skin prickled when eyes turned her way, but she did her best to ignore them, refusing to look at the crowd. She kept her head up and her gaze forward, trained on a spot on the wall behind the High Table. When she'd successfully reached the head of the room, she stiffly seated herself upon the stool. She actually flinched when the Sorting Hat was placed over her head. She kept her deep brown eyes trained on the oaken double doors at the back of the room; she was certain she'd panic or hurl or something along those lines if she made herself look at the tables full of people stretched out before her. As it was, she was breathing so fast and shallow that she might as well have been hyperventilating. All of those eyes, watching me... She closed her own eyes and took a steadying breath before opening them once more. Alright, Sydney. Calm down, you've got this. It's not as scary as you think; you're just overthinking things, as usual.
Hmm... very interesting.
Though she knew it was just the Hat speaking into her mind, she nearly jumped nonetheless.
You'd make a fine Ravenclaw. A strong thirst for learning, creative, academically motivated, yes, yes... the Hat sounded almost bored as it analysed her. Hmm... but there's something, yes, I can see it now. You're not as timid as you might think, child. Oh well... better be "GRYFFINDOR!" the last word was shouted across the hall, earning a copious amount of loud clapping and whooping from the excitable Gryffindor table.
"Wh-What!?" a voice squeaked in shock, earning a few snickers from the Slytherin table. It took Sydney a couple of moments to realise that the voice was, in fact, hers. As if in a haze, her shaking legs carried her to join her new housemates at the Gryffindor table. She sat a bit further away from the majority of students; preferring to be as isolated as possible to let the new information sink in. I'm a Gryffindor. Me, Sydney Sinclair, a Gryffindor.

Killian clapped along with his housemates as some of the new students were sorted into Slytherin. His stomach rumbled, leading him to wonder when the Sorting would finish so that they could eat. "I'm starving," he whispered to Minty. "Hopefully this'll be over with soon." The thought occurred to him that his twin siblings would be up there next year, and he smiled a bit. His smile turned into a smirk when a new student - a transfer, by the look of her - was sorted into Gryffindor and let out a surprised squeak. He couldn't help but snicker at that, until Professor Byrne silenced him with a steely glare.

Patrick saw this look and took it as if she was ashamed of him. However Patrick didn't do anything. He didn't want to cause a scene. Instead, he sat there quietly, eating his meal.

Reina dishes up some of the lighter foods offered and began to eat while offering Kakashi some at regular intervals to keep him from stealing everyone’s food

Serafima watches as an older student steps up to be sorted. Ah, another transfer then. She feels bad since she recognises the new student as the one Noble had snapped at back at the station. That probably didn't help with nerves at all. a part of Serafima hopes at this 'Sydney' will be sorted into Ravenclaw so that she will have a chance to apologise for Noble being so rude, but unfortunately she seems to be a Gryffindor. Still, she claps politely.

Noble Mirrikai♦Seventh Year♦Slytherin♦Tagged: Killian, Minty

Noble smirks slightly with a huff as Killian banters back. Then the sorting starts up before he can duck away to a different seat, and suddenly he finds himself sitting right next to Killian, face tinted ever so slightly red. Being smug becomes a lot more difficult, so he snaps himself shut to a steady glare, being sure to focus his gaze on Killian and the younger witch he is talking to, who of course Noble has never bothered to recognise or learn the name of, as if telling them both to shut up. Granted, only one of them was speaking, but at no point has Noble ever been called fair.

minty nodded. “worth the wait, the food is always so amazing.” she murmured. “i’m thinking of going by leighia again, but i dunno.” she told him, laughing as professor byrne silenced his laugh. “i’m excited for quidditch.”

Margaery smiles as Professor Byrne gets through hosting the sorting of all the first years and transfer students. I can’t wait to see what everyone’s futures hold. The feast begins and the tables of each house are filled with wonderful foods. Margaery makes a small plate of chicken and vegetables, being sure to save room for a sweet. She eats quietly, observing the chattering around her.

Hayley grinned at the food that was appearing in front of them. No. She realised. The best thing about Hogwarts was the food. She dished almost everything on offer-- well, almost everything. Only the savoury things. And tucked in. Oh yum, she thought. She saw a 6th year near her, doing a similar thing, except for less food on her plate. "Hi," she said politely. "Hungry? Hogwarts' food is the best." she said, smiling.

Cassie took a seat on the Ravenclaw table, glancing left and right at the people in her house. To small, young, Cassie, the atmosphere in the Great Hall overwhelmed her and the amount of students, much more experienced and knowledgable than her left her feeling singled out. Gingerly, she reached out and delicately pick up a couple of tasty-looking chicken wings and placed them on her plate. She thought back to the meals her Aunt had made for her and decided the towers of carrots and cabbage shouldn't be ignored. Cassie began to eat, aware that everyone else was engrossed in conversation apart from her.

When Beatrice had finished reading off names, she seated herself at the High Table as the headmaster began to speak. It's the same old speech every year, she couldn't help but think with a short sigh. When the headmaster had completed the speech, she clapped politely as always before the food appeared. Her gaze drifted over to her nephew as she piled some vegetables onto her plate. Splendid, she reckoned when she spotted him chatting with a second year in his house. It seemed that the boy took after Elisa as far as socialising went. Beatrice was secretly glad that he hadn't turned out to be a complete shut-in like she was during most of her time at Hogwarts.


|Sydney Sinclair|Gryffindor|Fourth Year|The Great Hall|Tags: Open|

Sydney squeezed her eyes shut as her mind tried to wrap itself around what had just happened. How could I have been sorted into Gryffindor? she silently wondered, incredulous. House of the brave of heart. I'm the most timid person I know! This has to be a mistake. She bit her lip as the familiar feeling of monachopsis set in. She hadn't expected to be Gryffindor at all; she'd ruled out that possibility as soon as she'd read about the Hogwarts houses in Hogwarts: A History. If anything, she thought she might be a Ravenclaw, given the fact that she'd been a Horned Serpent at Ilvermorny.

Killian stuck his tongue childishly out at Noble when he realised that the older boy was glaring at him. He was about to reply to Minty when the feast appeared. His stomach gave a low rumble and his mouth began to water. Conversation momentarily forgotten, the lanky boy piled about one of everything onto his plate and immediately started eating with gusto, leaving any semblance of table manners behind.
