 [O.o.C: Heading to the Lake] Her mother, Ila was realizing, might be wrong. She had said once that you could tell quite a bit about a person by what they wore. Perhaps she was looking judging the shoes wrong or maybe she need full blown clothes, but none seems the type of people who'd like to hang out with her and her ratty second hand shoes. She spied a small pair of heels, a variety of fancy knickers and a few shoes that looks as well done as her own. She was getting a headache, from either watching or the hanging she wasn't sure, when a voice called out ... "First years follow me!"She scrambled upright or as close to it as possible. As she attempt to spring from the bench legs coiled beneath her, one foot got in the way of the other (as usual) and found herself tumbling towards the ground. She had time to put her arms up before colliding the stones. She yelped at the impact of her forearms hitting the platform and lay still for a moment, eyes closed. Groaning she opened her eyes and noticed that her glasses were gone. Fumbling around she tried to find them in the slight blur of her sight, slipping her not-so-bruised bruised knees from the bench to the platform. As they landed she heard a CRUNCH and froze. Lifting her legs and turning, she made out the sight of her glasses, broken. Picking them up, she realized two things. One it wasn't so bad, just a broken lens. Two that despite a slight blurring of thing closest to her, she could make out most of the platform. I'll take care of them when we pause or something she thought pocketing them. She double checked that her wand was still in the pocket as well. Then rushed after the other first years, who were following behind some blond hair lady. "I wonder who she is," Ila muttered to herself as she followed the others.  |

It may sound absurd but don't be naïve
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
And it's not easy to be me
Jacob had to admit, it did feel kind of odd stepping off the train and suddenly having a girl loop his arm into his. Then again, Jaslyn had been doing that sort of thing since they had met, so it wasn't a big deal. He scanned the crowd, looking for a familiar dark head, red head, and pink head, thinking that wherever the three were, they had to be around somewhere. Spotting a shock of pink hair, he nodded towards Autumn. "Hey, there's Autumn. She's in Hufflepuff. Don't see Iris or Night yet." He looked over, cocking an eyebrow. "Want to make your way over?"
He kinda made a face at the mention of quidditch, though. He still didn't like how in the entire time he'd been on the team, he had never won a game. But, then again, Jaslyn probably wanted to win as badly as he did. "Yeah, I'm just hoping Gryffindor wins something this year. They've been years without one, and well...."

spaceDorian smiled. He hadn't noticed when approaching her, but plenty of others had joined them in a small group. They'd barely gotten to speak, though, when a woman appeared, calling for the first year students to follow her. When Tyson appeared and called out to him, he rolled his eyes a bit. Like he didn't hear her, couldn't see her? He chuckled and waved to the group of girls he'd been standing with. "I'm gonna catch my brother, he might panic if he thinks I'm lost," Dori said, honestly only half kidding. Tyson was too organized for his own good sometimes. He took off after Ty with a smile.

"The violin plays a soft melody,
as my mind starts to feel ease.
Let the music wash over my soul,
make my mind pure and whole.
Let me be renewed."
Victor tilted his head at Ronna's comment, but decided not to talk about it. He did wonder what she meant...was she saying that about herself? Or him? Victor brushed it off though, "Well...Oui I try to see the best in people. It's...only natural." He then thought for a moment, "But I still think you are a good person at heart. even if you say otherwise." When Ronna said she wasn't good with animals, Victor seemed surprised, animals were usually decent, "...Hm. Well I guess that's a good reason for preferring the broom then."
When he saw the keeper of the keys bring the first years to the lake, Victor smiled, "Well time to get a move on then, oui?" He said gesturing towards a nearby carriage. Though that was when he saw a...rather dark looking creature. Were...were they there last time he was pulled in the carriages? Was....Was this a new thing?
"Ro-ronna...Do you see that horse...looking thing at the carriages?" It seemed tame...but Victor felt a wave of unease at seeing it, though he did inch towards the carriage. Right now he wanted to just get inside and away from the creature.
I feel un-eased you know?
My inner thoughts are, "What...is that thing?"
I'm in the house of Hufflepuff.
I am a proud third year
My puppeteer says "..." Out of character.

spaceGypsy almost burst out laughing at Rory rolling her eyes, and at her question. "Oh, don't worry about that. After the sorting ceremony, there's a huge feast. All the food you could think of or want, and it's all delicious. No worries of withering." Gypsy chuckled at that. She noticed the Groundskeeper appear and call the first years and smiled. Well, she wouldn't see Rory again until later. But, everything was moving along swimmingly, right? She shook her head at the younger girls question, waving as she walked away to join the other first years. "No magic, Ror. They'll plop a hat on your head and he picks the house! Nothing to worry about!" she called out, realizing that probably sounded super weird but not knowing what else to say in such a short amount of time. She crossed her arms and smiled. Rory seemed like a really good fit... Jer and the others would love her.

Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream
Rose stepped off the train, eyes already looking around the platform. Her last year. This would have been Tabbie's second year. It was Claire's fourth. Unfortunately, the three sisters had been torn apart. Claire was still there, but Tabbie, she was gone. Rose huddled in her robes, trying not to think too much on it. She then looked around for anyone she recognized. She didn't see Nell quite yet, but she did spy a blonde that was hanging out by herself. Making her way over, Rose put on a smile, feeling only a bit forced, as she approached her fellow dormmate. "Hi Ada. What'cha up to? Waiting on someone to ride with in the carriage?" Rose crossed her arms and waited. Well, she didn't talk to the blonde that often, but she was willing to make it a first for anything.

xxxxxThe train ride had been rather uneventful. Salem had spent it in a car with two other students who hardly said a word the entire time. To be honest, the boy didn't mind. While others his year might be chatting away, trying to make a feeble attempt at friendship, Salem had heard enough about Hogwarts from his parents to know that it was best to wait to see where the pieces would fall before he went making his friends, or at least people that he could somewhat trust. Not too many had ever gained the friendship of Salem Abraxas. It wasn't that he was unfriendly. It was simply that he never let people in long enough for them to become friends. Let them in, and they have all the tools needed to destroy you.
xxxxxWhen they had finally arrived at the station in Hogsmeade, the blonde couldn't help but feel relieved. The silence between the students in the car had been starting to become unbearable. Salem was just about to stoop to the level of making the typical small-talk when the train jerked to a stop. He hardly waited for it to settle before he stood and was out the door. Stepping out into the night, the boy took a deep breath of air. It was quite relaxing to be out on his own again, without the two lifeless bodies hanging about him. Of course, all of that would soon be stifled by school, but by then, Salem would be in a house with people like him. He would be able to start building up his acquaintances.
xxxxxLooking around him, Salem saw people doing just that. There were older students, walking about, meeting up with friends that they hadn't seen since the end of the last year, but they didn't interest Salem. At the moment, they were not important to the game. He could afford to ignore them. The pieces that he needed to pay attention to were the ones without a house badge on their robes. The boy watched as his fellow first years wandered about the platform, trying to quickly make friends before the Sorting Hat likely pulled them away. Just another reason not to talk to anyone yet. He didn't want to have hope where the was none. That was a sure way to loose the game. It seemed odd, how friendly these people could be, even though they hardly knew each other. Salem just did not understand it.
xxxxxEventually, a woman called out for the first years to follow her. Salem remembered his mother saying that the staff member who did that job was called the Keeper of the Keys, Game, and Grounds. The boy thought that an odd title to have in a world with magic. He knew that there were charms to find lost keys as some of his more forgetful cousins would often demonstrate them in front of him. It seemed pointless to have someone just to keep keys. Although, the other two did make sense. Magical creatures could be dangerous. What sorts of creatures did Hogwarts have on its grounds anyways? At the moment, Salem hoped for nothing too dangerous. After all, he was just starting out. He hardly knew how to cast a spell, let alone tame a wild beast or defend himself from one. And, the boy did suppose the grounds needed keeping. However, did one woman really do all of that? He guessed that with magic it could be easy, but he still found it hard to believe. Then again, Hogwarts did have house elves, so perhaps they helped.
xxxxxSalem walked over to the woman. He did not want to be the student who got lost trying to find their way to the boats. He did not want to have that sort of reputation. That sort of reputation would ruin any hopes he had for playing Quidditch while he was at Hogwarts. If he couldn't find the boats, then why should he be able to find a snitch? Or score a goal? Or send a bludger flying into an opponent? At least it could work as an advantage in Wizard's Chess. His opponents would likely underestimate him, and then find that they were horribly mistaken when he crushed them. He always did have chess to fall back on.
xxxxxThe boy simply followed the group down the short path to the lake, keeping his ears open. After all, he would have to share a boat, and he wanted to have good boat companions. People who might actually prove to be a piece in his games instead of just a spectator. And that was exactly what Salem needed.

I don't really know why I don't really know why

I don't really know why I don't really know why
I still feel the same way I did when I was 17
I still look over my shoulder waitin for the world to change

Nell gave a soft intake of breath as Dhyl admitted to having lost his precious Qube at the beginning of the summer and gave him another supporting hug. She knew that cat and his locket were the last things he had of his mother but she smiled at his wistful thoughts. "Just think, now you've got too woman to look down after you." she said softly into the hug. She released him and thought of other things to say before realizing he had spoken about a certain shop owner and spending time with him. A coy grin came upon her face as she grabbed his arm and began leading him towards the carriages. "You spent time with the owner of QQS then? And he lent you a book? How wonderful; anything else you'd like to speak about this gentleman?" Nell giggled, she couldn't help it. After his tiny breakdown with Eun and the two of them still not getting together she'd push him with any human on two legs and a pulse if they were interested! Soon she spotted familiar heads of red and blonde and lead her Dhyl towards them only to let go and go running to her girlfriend and capturing her in deeper hug than the others and a soft kiss on her cheek. "You alright love?" the Scot asked softly so only Rose could hear. When she had gotten the letter about what had happened she had wanted to immediately portkey, floo, apparate, anything to get to her girlfriend and comfort her. Only her parents and Rose herself was able to keep her away, but it wasn't like she liked it. She was fully set on making sure that her girlfriend knew she would always be there for her.

spaceEcho was, for once, prepared for Tanya to tackle him... she was getting predictable. Of course, he wasn't prepared for her to jump completely on his back and... nuzzle? his neck. He stumbled a bit at the force of her jumping on him and flushed at her lips against his neck, scowling a bit. "I was tired! It was either sleep on the train or risk my dinner plate becoming a pillow!" When she got off of him, he turned to face her, rolled his eyes and smiled before pulling her into a proper hug. "See, this is how normal, not insane people give their friends hugs, Tanya," he teased, pulling away with a grin. He decided to ignore her comment on his intelligence, given that he had been expecting he to attack him... just not quite like that. He really should know better than to turn his back to her, honestly... except he found that perhaps he liked it when she scared the hell out of him like that. It only made sense; his favorite genre was horror, after all. "I am sorry I was a total snore on the whole way here, though... literally. I stayed up late watching movies. Mum bought me a whole bunch of them... Dad actually got me an old-school projector and I had all these old classics on actual film reels... Tanya, it's the coolest thing, you've got to come over and see it," he told her with a wide smile, finally distracted enough to not try to hide his new braces. He was pretty sure the projector had been to make up for them, actually.. although that didn't explain why they'd decided to get Gypsy a bloody sloth. A sloth she was already using to ram her way into the spotlight, he'd noticed. Ah, well. At least Art was cute... Echo would completely deny it if anyone asked, but he found he rather liked his sister's new pet.

And when that sun goes down
Hope you raise your cup
Jer stepped off the train, frowning as he readjusted his robes. He'd turned them blue again, but that was more because he was still annoyed they couldn't be blue all the time. He sighed, then started scanning the crowd for Gypsy or Kas or heck, anyone he recognized. Thankfully, it wasn't too hard to spot Gypsy's hair from here. He made his way over, bypassing easily several students and 'borrowing' a few items along the way. He stepped up right behind her and tapped her on the shoulder, confident his street stealth and small stature had kept her from noticing him. "So ya havin' fun helpin' th' firs' years, Gyp? Figured they prolly need i' cause they don' happen ta know much ye' 'bou' th' school." He put the item he'd just nicked into his pocket, hoping Gypsy hadn't noticed what his hands were doing.

spaceAdalaide smiled when Rose approached. That hadn't been the redhead she'd been expecting to say hi to her, but it was equally welcome. They weren't really all that close, after all, but Ada did like to think they were friends. They'd been living in the same dorm for six years, after all. And Rose was dating Nell, who Ada was definitely friends with, right? So they were obviously friends. "Nothing much. Standing here. Being awkward. I thought all my friends were off making out with their significant others," she informed the redhead with a small chuckle. Damien and Marina still had yet to make an appearance... Ada wondered if someone was going to have to go back on the train and pry them apart with a tire iron or something. They were Head Boy and Girl this year, they really should be out here ordering second years around or something. She found that she was a bit jealous, though. After all, she wasn't going to get to see Chris again until June... she might find a way to visit him over the holiday break, she supposed, if he wasn't too busy. But aside from that slim chance, she had several long, lonely months before she'd get to see him again. She was trying very, very hard not to be depressed about that. It was hard, though, given how almost all her friends were paired off with someone else in their year. Hard not to miss your boyfriend when you had to watch your friends being all adorable with theirs.
spaceAda smiled when Nell joined them (practically attacking Rose with a hug), dragging Dhyl behind her. Ada was glad to see the blonde hair was gone, and hoped that perhaps he would've cheered up a bit. She loved the guy, but he seemed determined to be depressed over everything. She still had no idea why he'd suddenly decided to go blonde and melt into a puddle last term, but it had been very upsetting to watch. She was hoping that he was in a better mood now. "Hey guys! Carriage together?" she asked, tossing her hair over her shoulder. Usually she rode with Michelle, but she had no idea where the girl had wandered off to and was probably hissing at anyone who tried to ride with her. Of course, she'd not hiss at her or Lyv... but Ada had missed Nell and Rose and Dhyl over the Summer, and she had some catching up to do.

Terren frowned a little. Nyx still seemed sad, but now it was because of the Lake. She didn't know how to swim, she had said. Well, he wasn't the best swimmer out there, so he didn't feel right to offer her lessons. "Don't worry, Nyx. You won't be swimming to the castle. That'd take too long. There are lots of boats for all the First Year students to ride in. No swimming necessary." he said, offering her a reassuring thumbs-up. Suddenly, another girl joined them. She, too, was a First Year, and wanted someone to wait with while the Grounds Keeper made her way to the Station. She introduced herself as Ally after another First Year joined them. Terren didn't know his name, and he didn't really have time to ask either. The Grounds Keeper called for the First Year's to follow her to the Lake not long after he showed up. "Nice to meet you, Ally and this guy. My name is Terren Hawthorn, and I'm in Hufflepuff. Erica here is in Ravenclaw, so if any of you are sorted into our houses, you'll already have friends! If that's okay." The boy grinned widely at the younger students. He hoped to see them all again soon. Maybe some of them would be in Hufflepuff with him. He liked having lots of friends. The more the merrier! "You three better hurry up and catch a boat. Just go that way towards the shore, and follow the Grounds Keeper. You can't miss it. Good luck at Sorting!" he exclaimed after pointing towards the Black Lake. Terren turned to face his Ravenclaw companion. "Wanna ride to the castle together?" he asked.
