Tell me about the old days,
Another night at the Copper Coin
He nodded about her question of Ancient Runes, though shrugged his shoulders a bit. "Yeah, I guess it is in a way. It was a bit confusing for me as there really aren't any comprehensible letters involved, although Powell's a good professor, so it's not impossible. And for electives I'm taking, well, can't name them all off the top of my head." That made him sound like he took a lot, though he believed that he hadn't taken that many. Uhh, well, Ancient Runes, for one. Mythology, Divination, Cursebreaking, and Care of Magical Creatures. There may be a few more, but the names aren't coming to me right now."
He looked to his side and smiled as he saw Benjamin there. It was always nice to see a friend around. "Hey Benjamin, long time no see," he joked.

Benjamin looked at her for a few moments, glad that she seemed to find his excuse amusing. "Well...as aforementioned, it truly is a pleasure meeting you Sophie," he said genuinely, looking at the sorting for a few moments to see who else was sorted where. He hadn't really a clue whom had been sorted in their house except for Sophie. He really needed to actually pay attention because these people were going to be his housemates for the following three years. He should probably at least know their names. Then again, that was a lot of names to remember and Benjamin definitely had more important things that he needed to commit his memory too...like...school in general.
He smirked as Dylan had said long time, no see. "Yeah, it's been a really long time," he said, chuckling a bit as he put emphasis on the word 'real'. He once again looked at the sorting as the other two talked, before finally asking Sophie a question. "So, are you glad you are finally here at Hogwarts?" he asked, a curious look on his face. It may have been a dumb question, but he has met a lot of people that didn't like school. But then again, she was in Ravenclaw, and usually Ravenclaws liked learning. Wasn't that like a prerequisite or something?

As Dylan thought about it, he wasn't even completely sure Ancient Runes was a language. It very well might have been, but he couldn't be positive. It was definitely ancient, though. Honestly, he couldn't remember what exactly was taught during that class. It had become a blur over the summer, as did most of his other classes.
He shrugged when she asked if it was a lot. He wasn't exactly sure himself, though it probably was to other people. "Well, it's definitely more than other people have taken, but also less than some others." He could name off some people who had taken more classes than he had. He chuckled lightly when she asked about Divination, shrugging his shoulders. "No, nothing like that. There aren't many tests, anyway. It's actually pretty fun, if a bit confusing. The professor is kinda strange, but fun also. As for Care of Magical Creatures, you do. I mean, I think. Been a while.
He looked to Benjamin, listening to his question if she was happy to be at Hogwarts and understood her answer, somewhat. While he was a half-blood, and had a mom who had basically flipped out in joy when he received his letter, he could see how magical wizards and witches with muggle parents wouldn't have had that same joy, at least at first.

Benjamin gazed down at her for a brief second after she practically revealed that she was muggleborn. He was surprised she did really, mainly because people didn't tend to be huge on divulging that information because of the bias, but of course, she probably didn't know about that at all speaking that she just was thrust into the culture. Luckily, she wasn't a Slytherin, because she definitely would find some people that hate her there, just because of blood status, which to Benjamin, was an entirely unreasonable reason to hate someone. Benjamin was only a halfblood himself; so he was even on the receiving end of some bias as well. "I see. Well, you'll definitely love this place. Because they pretty much have any answer you need virtually. It's kind of nice actually," he said, smiling at her as he said it, a casual chuckle as he realized what the girl had called Diagon Alley. "It's Diagon. It's an i, instead of the r, but I mean, your guess was actually very close." He gave a smile as he said this too to get across that he was friendly and not judging her at all for not knowing the name.
Looking back up at the Sorting, which seemed to be drawing closer and closer to an abrupt end, he looked to Dylan and Sophie. "I really can't wait for this food. Eating candy on a train ride really isn't filling," he said, shaking his head. He should have packed food, but he hadn't and he was feeling it in his stomach now. Those hunger pains you got when one hasn't eaten for a long time.

Wake up the dawn and ask her why
A dreamer dreams she never dies
Wipe that tear away now from your eye
Slowly walking down the hall
Faster than a cannon ball
Where were you when we were getting high?

Eli looked over to Jean as the other sat down and then asked him if he was okay. pink eyes looked over his friend for a moment, gauging what he could say. No, he wasn't going to just blurt it out to everyone in the Great Hall. However, he figured that discussion could be left for another time. Probably when they were in their dorm and alone. That sounded like a much more appealing idea. He shifted before he shrugging. "Sorry, I guess I just haven't had much to talk about. Um, I should probably apologize to Cathy and Dani, though. I kinda have a lot on my mind, and didn't want to just say something insane like I was abducted by aliens and replaced with a pod person or something. Heck, that actually sounds plausible, doesn't it?" And a lot closer to the truth. Shaking his head, he tried to banish the idea that whatever that psycho had done to him had essentially turned him into a pod person without much success.
However, his gaze travelled up to the Sorting and a thought occurred to him. "Is it just me, or does it seem like Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are getting a lot of new students this year? I thought the numbers were a little more even than this." Granted, there were years where his house didn't get many people in it, but this was a bit much. He wasn't sure, however, if this was a good thing or a bad thing. He'd eventually take them up to the common room, but that wasn't for a bit still.
════════════════════════Location: Great Hall
Thinking: Quiet night, please just a quiet night, and maybe I can talk to Jean about this mess...
OOC:     
Cos people believe that they're
Gonna get away for the summer
But you and I, we live and die
The world's still spinning round
We don't know why

LOCATION » Ravenclaw Table, Great Hall.
COMPANY » Dylan, Benjamin, Avian, Indie and other Ravenclaws.
WEARING » Ravenclaw Robes.
OOC » Open for interaction!
Sophie nodded in understanding as Dylan explained that the amount of classes he signed up for was more than others had and also less than some. From what very little she knew about Ravenclaw as a house, this wasn't surprising. But she wondered about the work load. Her mom had always made sure she studied hard and kept on top of her homework and did honors classes and extra credit to be able to get into a good college. She only hoped that it would help her get through her years in Hogwarts.
The brunette gave a crooked smile as Dylan laughed, explaining that there weren't many tests in Divination and it was a pretty fun class. Her grin only widened when he affirmed that she would likely be able to see a griffin in the care of magical creatures class.
After she had told Benjamin that she didn't know about Hogwarts until she had gotten her letter, his expression changed somewhat. He didn't reveal any particular emotion, but she got the feeling that it was bad to not have been a part of the magical world your whole life. She smiled back tentatively as he finally said that she'd love Hogwarts and Ravenclaw because she could virtually find any answer she needed.
Grimacing as he corrected her on Diagon Alley, Sophie apologized even as he sympathized that she had guessed closely. "Sorry. Everything's just so new..."
As Benjamin expressed his impatience to eat, Sophie nodded vigorously in agreement. "I got too motion-sick to eat much on the train, but I saved some for later. Though I'm not too sure how much I can trust magical food anymore. Is it going to hop away from me again?" She was half joking, but did wonder, since her first experience with magical edibles ended up with her chocolate frog hopping out of her hands and her compartment altogether, leaving her hungry and confused.
Hearing a nearby girl whom she recognized as a fellow first year introducing herself, Sophie smiled and greeted her. "Indie? Like the music? Cool name. I'm Sophie." She raised a hand in a half-hearted lame wave to her and the boy next to her wearing red glasses.

Dylan hadn't even noticed that Sophie had called it Dragon Alley instead of Diagon Alley, and he couldn't help but chuckle--internally. He didn't want to sound like an a*****e. Though he had to admit, it would've sounded cooler if it was actually called Dragon Alley. He'd always wanted to see a dragon, but he knew that they were very rare--maybe even extinct. He knew that dragons had been here at Hogwarts around 30 years ago, and he had been a bit jealous, though he knew that they had been dangerous and not fun at all to be around.
He chuckled slightly when Benjamin talked about candy not being very filling, and he agreed, no matter how good the candy may have been. He looked to Sophie once she mentioned the chocolate frogs, raising an eyebrow but smiling lightly. "Which card did you get? Chocolate frogs usually have a witch or wizard card on the package." Dylan wasn't really that big of a collector, but some of them were pretty interesting. He got Dumbledore a lot, which he wasn't sure if it was either very rare or very common. He certainly wasn't that interested to go out of his way to find out. "But yeah, the food here doesn't hop away from you. Except the occasional biscuit, if the elves are feeling extra cheeky that night." That had personally never happened to him, and was very unlikely to ever happen to anyone--hell, it may have just been something he made up--but if candy could hop out of your hand, who was to say that regular food wouldn't?

Lexine walked into the Great Hall quite out-of-it. She'd been overly-protective of Sybil, and the poor girl seemed to have been getting a little over her over-attentiveness. Lexine couldn't help it, she was responsible for the girl, and if anything happened then Lexine would be the one in trouble. Sure, it was just her anxiety and paranoia that was making her worry that Sybil wouldn't get on the boats, get lost, or -- god forbid -- fall out of the boats, but it wasn't like Lexine was going to be able to control that. So, before she arrived at the Great Hall, Lexine hid in the bathroom for a little while, trying to compose herself. Once she knew she was going to be able to be out in public, Lexine went out and found her way to the Great Hall once more. She looked down the Ravenclaw table and was easily able to pick out Iñigo in the sea of blue.
Lexine took a seat next to her boyfriend, poking him a bit to get his attention. It seemed that he was a bit dazed, paying little attention to the sorting, or anything else going on around him for a matter of fact. "Hello there," She murmured, propping her head up with her hands. "Sorry I took so long, it's been a bit...hectic..." And by that I mean I almost had a panic attack... It wasn't like Lexine was going to tell Iñigo that. He didn't need to worry. "Anyway, how was your summer? Well...the bit we didn't spend together."
Lexine and Iñigo had spent a good majority of their summers together, whether it was with his family, or her own. She, her family, and Iñigo had visited Berlin over the summer together, which was an incredibly fun time, as well as a good learning experience. Lexine picked up on a bit of German while there; enough to be able to understand conversations going on around her, at least. Then, a bit later in the summer, she, Iñigo, and his father visited Spain and Iñigo's family, as they did most summers. It was, once again, a great time. It was interesting to be going to all these different places, and even better that it was all with Iñigo. Those two trips took up most of their summers, but that didn't mean they didn't spend time apart. What all Iñigo did during that time, Lexine didn't know.
As she awaited an answer from Iñigo, Lexine let her eyes drift up towards the sorting, trying to see when her sister was going to go up. It looked like she was going to be going up to the hat soon. Lexine could only hope that Sybil would be okay... Why she was worrying so much over Sybil, Lexine wasn't sure. All she was certain about was that Sybil was extremely over Lexine's attentiveness, and she probably wanted to rip Lexine's head off. Lexine didn't care, because all she could do was dote over her sister until she knew the younger Vance would be okay. Lexine may not be able to pay as much attention to her as she would like, depending on the house Sybil would be sorted into, and that Lexine wasn't completely sure of...

Open the walls, play with your dolls!
We'll be the perfect family.
When you walk away is when we really play-
And you don't hear me when I say,
"Please wake up. Please look at me."
No one ever listens, this wallpaper glistens...
Don't let them see what goes down in the kitchen.

Anti found herself in the unfortunate position of suddenly being surrounded by her house mates. She was familiar with Selina and Lola in addition to Grace, seeing as she shared a dorm with them, but that didn't mean she particularly wanted to be seen speaking with them, she thought sourly. She concentrated her gaze on the table and didn't look up much, just nodded when Dakota directly addressed her. She was listening, though. Antigone figured she had the sharpest ears in her family. She was used to being ignored at home, and now she just hoped they would all ignore her, eventually forget she was even there, and talk freely so she could eavesdrop. Selina made a reference to a 'reaping'- Anti didn't get it, and that annoyed her, but she bit her lip and didn't ask the origin of it. The idea of being able to just take a broomstick and fly wherever you wanted made her stomach churn up in envy. She'd be lucky if she ever got to lay hands on a broomstick. Vander had already threatened her with a multitude of different things if she so much as looked at his broom.
Places, places, get in your places!
Throw on your dress, put on your doll faces!
I see things that nobody else sees...
Please don't let them look through the curtains.
Picture, picture, smile for the picture-
Pose with your brothers, won't you be a good sister?
