Ravenclaw Table

Mood:awkward and hungry
Companions: Ravenclaws and Andy
Thoughts: this person looks so nervous

I won't just survive
Oh, you will see me thrive
Can't write my story
I'm beyond the archetype
I won't just conform
No matter how you shake my core
'Cause my roots, they run deep

"Well, if you want to be called Andy why should I call you something else." Hikaru said. It was simple enough, girl or boy didn't matter much to him. Andy knew what they wanted to be called. beside it was weird and rude to be all insistent about something so silly. having the new boy show up was nice, they would have more housemates. Hufflepuff ad Slytherin seemed to be in fashion this year apparently. Being a second-year meant it was easier to greet the newer students. It had helped him adjust so he kinda wanted to return the favor.

Oh, ye of so little faith
Don't doubt it, don't doubt it
Victory is in your veins
You know it, you know it
And you will not negotiate
Just fight it, just fight it
And be transformed

Andy's lips twitched in a slight smile when the boy mentioned food. It sounded really good. "Nice to meet you, Hikaru.. Um.. Your name is really interesting.. I don't think I've ever heard a name like that before.. Can I ask where it comes from?" Andy didn't know if they were being rude or not - the downside of their awkwardness was being mildly unaware of social etiquette - but things like different names, languages, and cultures had always interested them. Not to mention, this boy was kind of cute, and.. Well, Andy hadn't ever been around very many people they thought that about. It was sort of curious, to be honest.

"Oh! It's Japanese, my parents are from Japan but I was born here. I'm actually the first to come to Hogwarts. Eventually, my little sister will too." And he was rambling. He really needed to work on that, he mostly did that when nervous or excited. He was more of the former though. He supposed he had was a weird name around the UK, his parents opted to give him and his sister more ethnic names. back home his family was the only Asian people in their neighborhood.

"Oh.. Japan?" Andy's brows knitted slightly as they thought about where that was. It was a whole continent away, at least. But at least Andy's questions about his heritage had been answered. They smiled a little bit and nodded. ".. I like it... It's a cool name. Hikaru." They suddenly laughed, a quiet sound that was hardly more than a breath. "And fun to say.." Glancing around the table once more, Andy noticed kids of all ages. Most of them much older than they were... That brought another question to Andy's mind, and their eyes snapped back onto Hikaru. "Um, what year are you in? You don't look too much older than me.."

"Thanks! It is pretty unique, I like Andy as a name too, I don't know too many."Hikaru replied. "I'm in Second-year! You'll have fun in Ravenclaw we are pretty relaxed. We kinda get called nerds a lot" he was totally fine with the nerd label, he was a bookworm and had random mostly useless knowledge. He was practically a walking example of nerdiness. he hoped Andy would adjust well like he did. if they needed help with homework this was the house to be in!

Now, let's make something clear. Gavin isn't ordinarily a self-conscious person, but you've never had a zit monster like the one that had claimed residence on the tip of his nose. And if that were his only issue, well, maybe it wouldn't have been so bad. But every once in a while (sometimes not even once in a day,) it happens. And it is the worst thing ever. In the past weeks or so, his voice has been changing. And out comes this uncontrollable, unmistakable, SQUEeeeaaAAK CROAAAK, “HEAR ME PUBATE”. To that end, Gavin was entirely silent during the train ride and the carriages and now during the sorting feast. He was taller than he'd ever been, but he didn't notice until he tried ducking his head low to blend in and found he outgrew at least half of the school population by now. So he slumped his shoulders and bent over the table, buried his face in his arms to try and hide the raw pimple behind his sleeves and just prayed for the night to be over. Merlin. At least he won't have to listen to another one of his father's ridiculous conspiracy theories. Yes, da, of course the muggle and magical government are hiding the existence of aliens (because that's the one thing no one can handle, right?) And yes, it makes complete sense that Gringotts bank is actually dead broke and in debt and that they've stolen all of the galleons and traded them out with cursed leprechaun gold. It's all entirely fascinating after you've heard it for the hundredth time. No, really. FASCINATING. (Cue choke on finger, gag, and die.)

Andy smiled and nodded when Hikaru had said that he was in his second year. That meant that whatever Andy was in store for, he would know how to help them with, since it was still pretty fresh in his mind. "I don't think nerd is too bad of a name.. I mean, I can think of a lot worse.." Andy would probably be classified as a nerd, too, if simply for their genuine enjoyment of learning things. If indeed Andy was ever called a teacher's pet, that wouldn't bee too far off, either. 'Of course, it depends on the teacher..' They had literally no clue about what to expect from wizard teachers, growing up in an entirely "muggle" society. They were still getting used to that word.

Glancing over to the end of the table, they noticed another first year join them, though they weren't sure of his name. So instead of saying anything, they gave a little wave and a smile to him, since he looked kind of nice. 'Oh, what the heck,' Andy thought, internally shaking their head at their own awkwardness. "Hi," they said, just loud enough for the other boy to hear. "Um.. I'm Andy. If you hear anybody calling me anything else, just ignore it." Yeah. That was how to handle this issue. Just make sure everybody knew their name right off the bat, so there was no confusion later on.

To be honest, he hadn't expected anyone to actually talk to him. Partly because he was usually the distant one and partly because he was hiding half his face behind the crook of his arm. He had to lift his head up to see whose voice it was that had asked about his summer and blinked up at Glynn. Which was... odd. To say the least. There had been rumors, after all. Nothing he paid attention too but the fact that there was, in fact, rumors, was curious of its own. But Glynn had been distant, withdrawn... different. Gavin didn't feel the need to pry. As the middle child, he always had someone arsing into his life, whether it was his nosy little sister or his 'trying to be helpful but failing miserably' older brother. Gavin knew he would've respected some privacy; so that was what he gave. ”Glynn, mate, good to see you.” He picked up his head, Mt. Pimple completely forgotten about, and offered a warm smile. So far so good, no voice cracking. ”It was... Pretty good I guess. Saw a couple international tournament games with the family... Weaseled my way out of “learning the family business” for most of the summer, so I definitely can't complain. I mean, pffft, it's real estate? How hard can it be?” He laughed and shook it off, but in doing so, he remembered the raw and pulsating alien life form leeching off his nose. In one hasty swipe he moved to prop an elbow on the table and dropped chin against palm, moving bottom three fingers to cup his jaw while one sat square over his nose. (And it only took half an hour of sitting in front of the bathroom sink to perfect this look with an air of somewhat nonchalance.)

spaceVince would've preferred to be in the same house as Daniel, of course, since the other boy was the only person he really thought he might be on the verge of being able to call a friend. But, when the hat called out Ravenclaw, he supposed it could be worse. Anandi was a Ravenclaw as well, and she'd seemed okay on the boat ride to the school. And, he was in Lyre's house, so perhaps that was something? He bet she'd be thrilled... Good thing he wouldn't be there when she first got the news. He was pretty sure her exuberance would kill him.

spaceHe sat across from Anandi and offered her a small wave, but didn't speak. Wallis joined them not long after, given that their last names both started with M, and he waved to him as well. Still, he stayed quiet. There were a lot of people, and he was tired. He wanted to eat and go to bed. But, one of his housemates spoke, giving the name Andy, and he couldn't help but snicker a bit. "You sound like my sister," he said. Realizing that might seem rude, he blushed, then added, "Her first name's Sissy, but she hates it. She wants everyone to call her Andi because her middle name is Andrea and 'it's not a stupid name'." He used air quotes for emphasis. Of course, he didn't know why his new housemates was opposed to being called anything but Andy. He hadn't paid enough attention to the sorting to know what name had been used before, but that was probably for the best, then. If he didn't know the wrong name to begin with, he couldn't use it on accident. His sister probably wished she could make everyone forget her real name, too.

spaceAnandi gave Wallis a small smile, shaking her head. "I wasn't particularly nervous, no. But I'm given to understand that makes me weird. I'm probably one of the only ones who wasn't." Of course, it helped that she was reasonably certain where she'd end up. She supposed she could've seen herself in Hufflepuff, or maybe, just maybe, Gryffindor. Slytherin was a long shot, though she did have a bit of a snake in her at times. Ravenclaw definitely suited her the best, though. "It's usually a big deal for people because they don't know where they'll go, or there's some sort of pressure to be in the same house as a family member or something. But I was pretty sure I'd be in Ravenclaw, and neither of my parents, or any of my family, would've cared. Actually, I think most of them would've been surprised if I'd been in any other house."

spaceShe waved when Vincent sat down, and another new housemate whose name she hadn't caught. The former remained quiet for a long while, and the latter began a conversation with an older student. She tried not to eavesdrop, but they were close enough, and it seemed like the conversation wasn't private, so she supposed it didn't matter. She made a mental note to be sure and only use the name Andy, regardless of what else she might hear, since from her housemate's tone, it was a sore subject. Anandi didn't ask why, sensing it would be rude, but she made a note to observe and determine the cause so as to understand. Understanding would make things easier. Confusion caused mistakes.

spaceShe glanced back at Wallis, shrugging. "I'm more nervous about lessons. Or, not the lessons, exactly. The professors. A good or bad teacher can make or break a student, you know." Perhaps she should have asked one of the older students about what to expect... then again, Leon was Wallis' brother. "Did your older brother or any of his friends give you any information about what to expect? Teachers to worry about, or anything like that?" Anandi didn't like going into things unprepared. She wanted to walk into her classes and know what to expect. If Wallis didn't have an answer, perhaps she could ask Caty? The older girl had offered to help if she needed it.

"Well I doubt anyone will remember the name used the roll call was. I don't really focus on that cause it always the formal name not necessarily what someone prefers to me called. Mine was even mispronounced." Hikaru explained. Poor Andy seemed so worried about it. He didn't like people worry so much. More and more were getting sorted into. he was kinda sad though Stacy got sorted elsewhere but he rather be where is best for her more than just so they can hang more. Now most of his friends where Hufflepuffs!

It feels like I only go backwards, baby-
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.
I know that you think, you sound,
Silly when you call my name...
But I hear it inside my head all day.
When I realize I'm just holding onto...
The hope that maybe your feelings don't show

Tiernan followed- stalked, perhaps- Glynn to the Ravenclaw Table, and slid gracefully into a seat by him and Gavin, whom she could have sworn she had not seen in ages. Perhaps it was because he kept to himself, but he was talkative enough now, hm? "I wish we had a family business," she complained. "Well, I suppose fencing counts, but that's more of a hobby. And parseltongue is lovely, but really, I don't intend to go into herpetology." Truth be told, she did know what she wanted to do 'when she grew up', but she could already imagine the fallout from the mere suggestion of pursuing any career beyond getting married and having children. Presumably lots of children. Tiernan didn't even know if she wanted children, but thankfully, her particular strain of oddity (as well as being That Ravenclaw Yaxley, Probably Too Clever For Her Own Good, We Can't Have A Woman Thinking Too Much), had thus far succeeded in making the offers for her, well... hand... very few and far between. Thank Merlin. Honestly, she hadn't the time to be passive aggressively sparring with dour-faced purebloods. "Glynn," she went on to inform Glynn rather plainly, "I'm going to be a terrible nag to you if you don't actually eat something this feast, do you hear?" He was far too skinny for a growing teenage boy, she thought, rather... sisterly.

The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,
'Cause I decided long ago.
But that's the way it seems to go when trying.
So hard to get to something real,
It feels like I only go backwards, darling,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
I got my hopes up again, oh no... not again.
Feels like we only go backwards, darlin'.
