.... but I will d e f e n d to my D E A T H your right to say it.

I wish Catharine was here.

David sighed, getting the feeling Gypsy didn't like him, then again she was an a upperclassman so he probably wouldn't have to deal with her much. He did; however, find her and Jer's ribbing of each other cute and amusing. They at least seemed to have good dynamic. The Slytherin may not have made friends in his own house but he seemed to have gotten a good friend in the house of the eagle.

He glanced over at Kas who was laughing at his look of disapproval of the color change. When Kas said he knew the spell to fix it David said with a smile, "Oh? And here you were making it sound like you didn't study at all this summer. Coloromuto is just one less spell Catharine and I have to catch you up on, then."

He listened as Kas explained the thinking and the house system and decided to not say anything as Kas was explaining it just as well as he could if not better. Instead he looked for Catharine at the table of the Gryffindors who seemed a bit more outgoing and boisterous than other tables but that could have been his bias built from growing up in a family of practically all Slytherins. He had really not expected her to go there of all places, but that didn't mean they still couldn't meet up, and they had the mystery of Kas to solve. Besides, Jer and Gypsy were a perfect example of different houses getting along well. Hell, Jer was even sitting at their table and sporting their colors currently.

Finally he saw Catharine, looking fairly unhappy at her table and he let out a sigh. He had hoped that Catharine would at least try to accept where she was placed and then remembered the girl Leo from the train, she had seemed the sort to be shooting for Gryffindor maybe she would at least have some decent roommates, but seriously what was the hat thinking putting Catharine in Gryffindor? Looking to the next table he saw her and gave a nod to her just to remind her that he and Kas hadn't forgotten her, after all, they had gotten along so well on the boats there was no way they couldn't be friends.

Bradley sat at the Ravenclaw table, directly behind Tobi. He kept glancing over his shoulder at his taller boyfriend. He smiled and wrote out a quick note to Tobi. "First year Bet?" it simply read. The boy folded the paper into a heart and taped it with his wand. It lifted off the table and floated across the aisle to Tobi. He smiled and turned to the First years. "Hey I'm Bradley Goldwind, get used to my last name, my Parents will be two of your Professors. Anyway, I'm a Fourth year. Need any help with anything just ask, I'll see what I can do." he said with a smile. I wonder what Tobi will come up with. he thought with a smile and glance back to his boyfriend.

Echo's face broke into a wide grin when, just as predicted, he was sorted into Ravenclaw. He stepped down from the stool, his entire demeanor calmed. As he walked to the table, he was suddenly incredibly grateful for his sister's brightly-hued locks, because it made her exceptionally easy to avoid. He noted her location and chose a spot on the opposite side and end of the table, hoping that she was too wrapped up in conversation to notice that he'd been sorted, or that he'd taken a seat. If he were lucky, she wouldn't even notice him until it was far too late to move to sit with him... if he were lucky. He glanced over at the Gryffindor table, at his friends, and smiled a bit before glancing back up at the stool, were the next student was being sorted. That horror was behind him, and there'd been no surprises. He'd honestly thought he might get Hufflepuff, which would've been alright, he supposed, but he didn't know how he would have handled it. He was a Ravenclaw, after all.

Gypsy sat, listening but not really paying any attention, at least until David mentioned slapping. She blinked, her eyes going wide, and a bit amused. She wasn't a violent person at all, actually found violence rather pointless... but the fact that the girl had slapped this Josh kid was sort of hilarious. She'd give it to the redhead, she certainly seemed to know how to make enemies effectively... although she seemed a bit taken aback by the fact that she had done so. Gypsy rolled her eyes a bit. What was it with these kids, acting out and then getting all bent out of shape when they had to deal with the consequences? Gypsy was more than happy to serve a detention... if whatever she got it for had been worth it. Before she could comment, though, she heard her brother's name called, and her attention was zeroed in on the Sorting Hat. She watched, smirking, as he was sorted into Ravenclaw, just like she'd known he would be.

The girl flipped her hair over her shoulder again, glad for an excuse to get away from the other first years, her eyes narrowing evilly as she watched brother dear approach her table. Their table, now, she thought, smiling a mischievous little smile. "Whelp, it's been fun, kiddos, but I've got a younger sibling to annoy the hell out of. See you ickle firsties around. Jer, you're free to join me if you like. I know Echo will just be so put out to have to meet you." Even though her words sounded mean, maybe even a little cruel, her expression was doting, her tone loving. She only teased the hell out of Echo because he made it so easy... and she wanted the kid to live a little. He was far too quiet and far too serious for a kid. Far too much like their grandparents... and the idea of him ending up like those two made her furious. They were awful, horrid people, and she didn't want her sweet little brother to be anything like them. The preteen stood, offering the first years a sarcastic sort of salute before wandering around and up the table to sit with her little brother. She giggled as he gave her a look of pure horror when she approached, sitting next to him and getting all cozy. Her arm draped over his shoulder and she pulled him in tight. "Aw, look at us, carrying on the family tradition, like right proper little Lovettes. Didja miss me? I haven't seen you all day." She gave him a pouty look, delighting in his aggravated sigh.

oooPiera's eyes had gone wide when she heard the hat speak and at first she was sure everyone could hear it, but judging from the expectant looks of the students and professors, only she could hear it. But even as it spoke to her, she still didn't see its judgment coming when it placed her in Ravenclaw! Mouth dropping into a large 'O' in astonished glee, the pigtailed girl immediately stood and could barely keep herself from darting off before someone took the hat off of her head.

She dashed toward the Ravenclaw table with a huge grin on her face as she squeezed into a spot next to Kas and waved upon seeing David as well. "I guess we get to be in the same house after all Kas! And you too David! Her voice was a loud excited whisper as she spoke to her friend and housemates, barely able to stay seated. But she tried to contain herself by focusing on Kas and that was when she noticed his robes and frowned in thought. ".....Were your robes green before Kas? I coulda sworn..." Piera drifted off uncertainly, not sure if she was mistaken.
