 βirst π΄ear βΆ β³uggleborn βΆ π°nsorted So he was right, she was full witch. It must've been nice to grow up knowing what you were, Alex thought. Her mention of mum and dad didn't bother him- he'd long since accepted his familylessness. He was just glad to know she knew about things, and was eager to learn more. So what happens when we get to the castle? He asked purposefully. Sitting in the pale light of the moon and the glowing lanterns, he admitted to himself that this was actually sort of nice. Learning was his favorite thing to do, and he'd grown weary in the muggle world, running out of new topics. As much as it scared him, here was the best he could ask for- an entire library- no, hundreds of libraries worth of new knowledge. Starting with the basics, he would learn and learn until there wasn't anymore learning to do. Smiling to himself, he realized he'd like to learn more about Alex-the-girl too, about what it was like to live in a family not just with magic but with parents. How different would that be from the crowded and familiar scene of Wool's orphanage? The culture must be so incredibly opposite to his own. What stories, traditions, values did these people hold?
It took him a few seconds to realize he was focusing too hard on the floor, and once again was toying with the back of his neck. Chuckling, he snapped back into reality and sat on his hands. Though he didn't mind his odd habit, it had its time and place.

 All I know is just you're not here to say
What you always used to say
But it's written in the sky tonight
So I won't give up, no I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me

Kayla clamored into a boat rather excitedly. Not noticing if she was with anyone else or not. But the blond was bouncing in her seat. "Not long until we get sorted!" she said loudly with a giggle. She was so excited, she hoped she would make her father and brother proud. Perhaps she could be in Ravenclaw, like her mother? Only the Sorting Hat could tell. The youngest Dean Child stared out across the lake, the castle was not yet in sight, but she was impatiently waiting for it to come into view. The large castle with it's many halls, towers, and secret passages. I wonder what will happen? Oh this is so exciting! she thought happily.

David Sinclair League
[UNSORTED]
House: Unsorted
Wand: Supple and Smooth//11 3/4 inches//Hawthorne//Fairy Hair
Current Age: 11
Blood: The son of a squib and witch from pureblood families
Year at Hogwarts: First Year
Wearing: school uniform in plain black
And our boat is full. Lynch... pureblood name if I remember correctly. David chuckled at Catharine's needling of his lack of sense of humor and his determination to map out one's entire life or at least school career which in his opinion should consist of great deal of studying: it was true enough. His chuckling stopped when he heard a slap from one of the other boats and glanced over to see that the whiny boy had gotten slapped by a redheaded girl. Maybe it was true redheads had more of a temper? Of course David was half tempted to slap the boy himself to shut him up. He turned his attention back to his boat as introductions were made and then Catharine and Kas discussed the slap. He leaned forward to Ellie and said with a smile, "I'm David Sinclair League and look on the positive from what Catharine said I obviously can answer probably any question you have in any subject." It was the first time he had introduced himself with his last name-the League family an old pureblood line that was fairly well known. It was one of the reasons he had avoided his last name but Ellie and the others had used his last name so it would be weird if he didn't and it wasn't like he was ashamed of his heritage he just didn't want to rely on it or people have a set idea on his mind. {OOC:Sorry, went to bed}

ββ- - -As David held his own introduction with Ellie, he continued to watch the commotion going on a few boats down with the two students. He wondered just what the boy had said to the girl to make her react like that. Despite the first impression he had gotten from the female- - - who he had actually interacted with, if it could even be called that- - - she didn't seem like the type to be easily riled up. If so, then it was probably something horrible.
He certainly seemed capable of it, the boy, but surely not, right? He was a pureblood as well, just like himself and David and Ellie- - - it was truly a pity that Catharine wasn't one as well, she would have been a fine addition to any traditional magical family and they'd learn a few things as well- - - and they were all raised with manners. Actually, everyone was raised with manners, but them more than most, or so he expected, going from personal experience. While he was mulling it over, the de Assi briefly realized that the tips of his fingers were numbing and prickling.
Starting in shock, he dug through his trouser pocket for his watch. Had it really been eight hours already? It hadn't even felt that long ago since his last dose. Feeling the vial in his pocket, he momentarily debated taking the potion right there before he viciously shook it off from his mind. That would make a simply marvelous impression and raise a plethora of questions. Exactly what he wanted, of course, Kas thought sarcastically. Tell everyone he was a junkie with a looming deathbed.
He thought not.
Mentally turning his nose up in the air, he ignored the feeling in his digits and the beginnings of a very, very slight tremor in them and tucked himself slightly deeper into his coat. Maybe he could attribute his paleness to the cold. Hopefully, it would work. Turning back to the scene of interest yet again- - - Oh, there was another new student. Hopefully the blonde wouldn't be a copy of the other blonde-Claire- - - he kept watching, anticipating a development or something of the sort and decidedly pretending that nothing had happened.
Nothing at all.

Hmm... Kas seems distracted. David glanced over at Kas, the contrast between his skin and auburn hair seemed more distinct as he took in more of his classmates. Was it the cold getting to Kas, too? It really wasn't that bad and David was the one who wasn't wearing a cloak as Catharine had borrowed it: he'd have to take it back for the feast he figured. David leaned forward to Kas and said, "You look pale. Are you okay? All I have is Excedrin so I'm not much help but..." He frowned looking honestly concerned and leaned back realizing he had invaded Kas's space so freely. It was embarrassing. But he didn't want to announce his concern to the whole boat. "Anyways," David said with a sigh sitting back, "Maybe the slap will shut up our whiner for a bit. 10 pou-" he paused correcting himself reminding himself he wasn't constantly around muggles and the money system was different, "ten gallons the redhead girl who slapped him ends up in Gryffindor."{OOC: Nope got my eight hours}

ββ- - -It surprised the redhead when his personal bubble was breached and he had found David staring back at him. It didn't stay that way too long, the brunette quickly pulled back when he caught wind of what he had done- - - but not without a slightly troubled inquiry towards his state of being. Touched as he was by his fellow student's concern, he fought back the urge to grimace at his current situation. It had been- - - what? A few minutes? And already the effects were noticeable. Not for the first time- - - and most definitely not the last, Kasdeja Allen de Assi cursed his ancestors to the highest heavens and the lowest hells for their lack of proper experimentation and their chargable-by-offense-or-whatever-legal-tripe-they-used-now false labelling of their super-recipe as a miraculous all-cure. Pulling himself out of his thoughts long enough to respond to the inquiry, Kasdeja shook his head, making sure to show his gratitude nonetheless. "I'm well, thank you for asking. It's probably just the cold," he replied, trying to come off as natural as possible. He hated situations like these. "We're close to the water as well, so that might be something as well."
Backtracking to the last sentence of the other, he smirked back. "Unfair, that. She seems like a shoo-in for the House," he replied, resisting the urge to pout or some other ridiculous thing like so. "However, I'll take you up on that offer. Ten galleons if she ends up in not-Gryffindor," Kas said as he took up the bet. "Nothing's ever set in stone, is it?"

Hmm... Kas seems distracted. David frowned at Kas's explanation, unsure if that really was the malady, but didn't press the matter: it would make the situation awkward. When Kas decided to take him up on the bet it made David smile. "What can I say?" David chuckled, "I hate to lose so it is best to make bets you are fairly confident you can win. However, you are right, nothing is ever set in stone. Which can be frustrating but it keeps things interesting, right? How about when I win my bet I take two galleons off if you sit with me for a nice cup of hot chocolate: it is my weakness."Kas was right, there might be more to the girl than her temper: she could be extremely loyal or cunning.

ββ- - -Trusting in Merlin, luck and the spirits of Courtesy and Polite Manners paid off, much to Kas's delight when the other male on the boat decided to drop the subject. He could deal with the questioning later, as long as he had the potion up and running through his bloodstream. Hopefully, he would have the time to take it when they assembled for the Sorting. The confusion should provide enough time and leeway for him to take it without being noticed.
Listening to David's elaboration got him grinning. "I suppose you have a point there," Kas consented, hands tucked together tightly without his knowledge. "You're moving a little too fast there though," he pointed out with a light laugh. "'When you win your bet?' Remember, there is a chance I could win. But should you do, I'll look forward to it. You can expect the same if the outcome is different, though," the redhead offered good-naturedly.. "That is, if you don't mind watching me eat along with it. I enjoy my food very much," Kas admitted with a sheepish grin. "It never seems to lose its appeal."

Food? If I am obsessed with studying, Kas is obsessed with food. "You'll be fat by the end of the year," David laughed. "Half the time you are talking about eating. I suppose it is good, you can rescue me from the library and force me to eat occasionally. When I get studying I tend to forget little things like eating.""And, I will have you know the odds are very much in my favor for my bet so it is a fairly safe bet to assume I will win it," David said with a smile. "But I can agree to your terms if by some bizarre chance I am wrong-which I almost never am. And, I'll have you know if I win you can eat then too. But seriously, be careful not to be five hundred pounds by the end of this year."

ββ- - -At David's response, Kas was by then well and truly scandalised.
If he hadn't been confident in what he had heard, he was sure it would have been a mistake. Forget little things like eating? If he hadn't already been scandalised before, then he definitely was now "You forget about eating," he stated in disbelief. "How? No, never mind, forget I asked." Muttering under his breath, the redhead continued, oblivious in his semi-shock. "The answer would probably make me cry or something equally as unappealing."
"I'll agree with you there, I have to admit to that," he nodded, still pondering over the earlier conversation. "And thank you for the consideration. You can count on me dragging you out of the library to eat," he added more vociferously. "That, aside from being completely unfathomable to me, is also extremely unhealthy. And that was rude, I'm not going to weigh that much," he snorted, though the offense he portrayed was obviously done in jest. With an exaggerated show of pompousness, he shot a mock-angry glare at the other boy. "I have a fast metabolism, so there."

Ah, poor Kas. David laughed at Kas's shock at David's ability to forget to eat. His father and mother was the same way whenever they got involved in a project. "I'd hate to make you cry, but it is quite normal for some people to forget to eat when they get busy.""Also, even though you may have a fast metabolism now, you won't have one forever. Just make sure you eat a balanced diet okay?" David said with a smile. "Of course with me forgetting to eat who am I to give dietary advice?"

ββ- - -"It's a completely foreign concept to me," Kas responded. Gathering what remained of his rapidly diminishing dignity, he continued with his answer. "Not eating is like Swahili. I don't know it, it's unfamiliar. And I suppose it is normal, just as long as it doesn't happen too often."
"I doubt I'll be around to see that happen. I'll make the most of the genetic blessing, then," he laughed. "And I always do. People only perceive it as a large amount. It's not, really."
Wrapping his coat around himself tighter, Kas did his best to ignore the cold and the shiver of his hands in favour of the conversation. "And you should take your own advice as well. You won't be able to take care of anyone if you can't take care of yourself. You seem like you'll manage anyway, though," Kas smiled. "So that's okay, I think."
Blinking, a thought entered his mind. "I'd kill for a decent cuppa right now, to be honest. Anyway, what do you think it'll be like?" Tilting his head in the direction of the castle and gesturing with a blue-tipped hand at the rest of the boats, he continued. "Hogwarts, I mean. And the whole shebang."

Oh and now Kas is lecturing me. David looked up at the castle. Truth be told he hadn't given much thought on what Hogwarts would be like beyond achieving the top grades in his class. He frowned as he stared up at the castle. His mother would occasionally mention her school days, but rarely, it was more of a taboo topic in his home because of his father. On holidays his family would occasionally speak of their days of Hogwarts but David hadn't given it much thought. "I honestly haven't given it much thought. I mean it is just a school with magic, right?" David said. His eyebrows narrowed and he said, "The topic of Hogwarts... and the wizarding world for that matter in my immediate home was fairly taboo. I only encountered it with visits with my more extended family, though my mother still uses magic to make her life more convenient and tries to hide that fact from my father."

ββ- - -His family situation was different, Kas realized. For a pureblood family to have magic included in the list of taboos was unusual, to say the least. He wasn't an idiot, however, he did sense the shift in the atmosphere with the venturing of that question of his. "My apologies," he said, bowing his head. "I didn't expect it to touch upon a sensitive subject. I hope it gets better for you," he finished, looking over at the lake. Shifting his gaze over to a turret, he continued. "It should be a promising experience, though."

Might as well be honest with this group. "It's a fact of life. I have accepted it," David said. "I mean what would you expect from a squib who worked very hard to make a successful Muggle life for himself. My father, Dr. Sinclair League, is one of the highest paid surgeons in London. He carved out a life for himself of accomplishment without magic and would rather not be reminded of his families more discriminatory traits."He stared at the castle and said with an amused smile, "I wonder what the technical blood status is for the child of a witch from a pureblood family and a squib from a family just as pure? I mean if I am sorted into Slytherin I am sure the question will arise."
