Octavian and Charlotte were childhood best friends, and were so excited to go to hogwarts together. Charlotte was from a mostly muggle family, and Octavian's family of prestigous wizards all were found to practice the dark arts, and were taken to Azkaban when Octavian was four. Octavian wore a simple purple and gold striped sweater and some simple jeans, he wore wire framed round glasses, and he rolled with him a black trunk. He had long untamed brown hair that was shorter at the sides, brilliant and wild green eyes, and had his orange tabby Mathilda following right at his heels. He had really learned to embrace the muggle lifestyle. Charlotte's pet was a white barn owl who was very small. Her name was Harriet, and he loved attention. Charlotte had a large brown trunk and wore a simple black dress with a long cardigan worn over. She had long blonde hair tied up in a tight bun, and wore thick glasses over her her deep honey brown eyes. The two were Hufflepuff, but they both had excellent marks on their exams. When Charlotte saw Octavian waitng for her in front of the train she ran to him. When he saw her he teared up. They now sat at the back of the train recounting their last two school years without eachother next to a girl who was reading a book.

Ryan sat on the bench, staring out the windows the train rumbled its way towards his home for the year. He ran his hand threw his dark unruly hair before sitting it on his owls cage. The Great Grey owl had been his best friend while he had been at his parents, he hoped he would get along better at Hogwarts. He looked around the car to see that he was sharing it with three other people, none of whom looked familiar. There was a boy and girl chatting together, and a girl reading a book. Ryan sighed and looked again to his owl. "We'll be alright, won't we Quinn?" he whispered, getting a clack of the beak in response.

"Charlotte and I are both third years" Octavian explained, trying to seem welcoming to the first "not just any third years" Charlotte interjected "We were top of our year last year!" Charlotte like to point out that both were smart, because people often thought Hufflepuffs were dumb. " she's way smarter than me though" Charlotte blushed "She's learning with the sixth years now, gonna graduate this year" Charlotte blushed, humbly. She slapped Octavian on the shoulder playfully and the two laughed "Yeah, but Octavian used to go to Intershire! That school has real dragons, and he has a tiny accent now" Charlotte joked, and the two laughed even harder. When they recovered Octavian turned to a boy in the car "What about you?" He was curious.

"I'm Ryan, I'm going into my second year," Ryan responded shyly. "How did you like Intershire?" he asked curiously. He had heard pretty good things about the other school, not that he could consider leaving Hogwarts.

"Intershire is okay, it's about half the size, but has dragons. I got to come here because i was considerably gifted and was accepted on a scholarship. It was weird, I was here just a week ago to be sorted." He turned back to find that Charlotte was talking to the women who was veding treats. She came back with one box of every flavor beans, two cinnamon rolls, and an assortment of chocolate.

"They are beautiful, and dangerous. Some are extremely venomous, it just depends on the type." Octavian then picked up one of the chocolate frogs and ate it. Charlotte sat down corssed legged and picked a piece of her cinnamon bun. "So where do you think you're gonna be sorted?" She asked, hoping for a new hufflepuff. " Oh, and what house are you in? " She gestured to Ryan.

Ryan nodded eagerly. He had always been fascinated by magical creatures, in fact, Care of Magical Creatures had been his favorite class last year. "I'm a Ravenclaw," he answered belatedly. He lifted the cover on Quinn's cage to let her get some fresh air.

Charlotte was surprised by Ryan's answer. "The hat wanted me in ravenclaw, but decided i'd do fine anyway." (Should we skip time to the sorting ceremony too?)

The sorting hat ceromony was just about to start. Head Master Wilingston stood tall and gave a short speech. The kids gave a huge round of applause.

Wyatt stoodcwoth the rest of the forst years nervously when his name was called by the head master. "Hmm, i see. You would make a fine gryffindor, but would never brag... I got it!" The hat boomed " Hufflepuff!" Wyatt sat down happily and enjoyed the attention for a moment.

Ryan sat at the table with his housemates, watching the sorting ceremony. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous when both Wyatt and Amelia were sorted into Hufflepuff. He had hoped at least one of them would be a Ravenclaw, but he was happy for them nonetheless. He tried to catch their eyes and gave them a smile and thumbs up.

(Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are always the hardest for me to choose between lol)
Ryan smiled at the boy who had just sat down across from him. "Welcome to Ravenclaw," he grinned and stuck his hand out. "I'm Ryan."

Darin smiled back, reaching out to shake his hand before replying, "I'm Darin, -and thanks. You're a second year, right?" He asked, noting how Ryan didn't look to much older than himself. He looked over as he heard Ravenclaw being called and noted a girl heading quickly over to the table and decided to wave to her since just being called could put some people into a panic. Him personally, well, his stomach was still churning from the anticipation and excitement of his sorting and he could barely focus on Ryan right now. -- "You're.... Wy-West? Sorry, probably wrong, you were a few before me -I think. I was more focussed on being sorted to be honest, sorry again." Amelia said, twirling her hair around her finger with nerves and excitement. A few moments passed before she realized she hadn't introduced herself properly to Wyatt. "I'm Amelia, by the way. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Wyatt" He replied with a little laugh. "I knew i'd be hufflepuff, because i'm the worst at everything" He laughed again at the fact that he had gotten the worst house and noticed all the hufflepuffs were staring at him. "Not that there's anything wrong with being hufflepuff" He said, the reality of what he had just said sinking in. Charlotte tapped him on the shoulder "Trust me, this house is a lot of fun." She worried at the amount of stares kids were giving this first year. She made eye contact with Octavian and he got what she meant immediately, and told them all off.

Octavian who was sitting next to Amelia turned to her "I'm sorry, are you okay?" He tried to make eye contact so he could read her. Wyatt noticed the silver prefect P pinned to both Octavian and Charlotte's robes. He muttered to himself "Ugh prefects" Charlotte turned to him "You know the hat would have put you in another house if you disliked hufflepuff" She told him "I didn't know that, he said that i was 'stubborn' and 'humble' so it's not like i don't fit hufflepuff at all" He replied angrily Charlotte sighed "We haven't even gained points yet... 5 points from hufflepuff!" She said, and the counter under the table where the teacher's sat went into the negatives. Wyatt shut up for a while after that.
