The Antechamber/Great Hall Entrance

The Antechamber/Great Hall Entrance



This is the antechamber to the Great Hall, which connects the Entrance Hall, the Great Hall and the Grand Staircase together. Their are several paintings in the antechamber of different things. It is not, itself a room, but an area that before the Great Hall doors leading into the Great Hall.

Archades leaned against one of the walls. He had gotten lost yet again. Only this time, he happened to know where he had ended up - he was near the Great Hall. The redhead was frustrated with those bloody stairs.

Morvin Varren

Morvin was having a bad day. He hated it here. Even the pure blooded witches and wizards seemed to fail at being pure blooded. The only pure blooded wizard in his year who seemed to care was Annika and she was so full of herself that she didn't even realize that she had a good friend beside her. She was... his thoughts were interrupted when he tripped. Looking back angrily, he was Archades with his foot out. "Why'd you trip me mudblood?" he spat out angrily.

{This is between me and Ron. Please no one intervene.}

Archades blinked and looked at the arrogant boy.
"I don't want to TOUCH you. Why on earth would I trip you? And aren't YOU the muddy one?" He had been the last student to leave except for Morvin at that Herbology class - he had seen the muddy 'm' that the Professor had scrawled on the boy's forehead. He had laughed hard once outside.

Morvin Varren

Morvin gritted his teeth, his nostrils flared and his fists balled. "That stinking professor is going to get removed for that and maybe even arrested for assaulting a student. And you're about to get assaulted for mentioning that," he snarled and threw a punch at the boy who was leaning against the wall.

Archades didn't even look at the boy as he laughed out loud now.
"You think that Professor Lupinous is going to get sacked? Boy, you sure are full of yourself aren't you muddy?" He had just finished speaking when Morvin's fist hit him in the face. The redhead's head turned to the side. Then his head turned back slowly with a very, very dark look on his face. And a grin that was even wider than he had ever had.
"Oh you just messed up big time. Do you know what you did wrong?"

Ammar
”Nature should never be forgot”

Ammar stepped into the Antechamber and looked around. He was caught off guard by the enormity of such a place, "Incredible," he whispered as his hooves clicked and clacked on the stone floor. He noticed two humans and walked towards them, "I demand to know where it is that the new members of this castle were taken,"

The centaur pawed the ground urgently.

Before the humans could answer, Ammar could already hear the voices coming from the Great Hall and followed his ears to the source of the noise.

”It is resilient and determined to win”

ℛemember those walls i built? well, baby they're tumbling down
and they didn't even put up a fight, they didn't even make up a sound

i used to think maybe you love me, now baby i'm sure
and i just can't wait till the day, when you knock on my door

halo, halo, halo
and don't it feel good?

♡ Eleanor Duke advanced proudly into the magnificent castle along the first years. She smiled freely and nodded to the talking paintings hanging on the walls, then stopped in front of the Great Hall's giant doors. She turned around to face the fellow first years, who seemed even more excited now that they were only a few steps away from Sorting, "Welcome to Hogwarts!" she announced with a bright, warm and welcoming smile, "The start-of-term feast will start soon, but before you attack the banquet like some kind of animals, you will be sorted into your houses. The Sorting is a very important part at Hogwarts. While you are here, your house will be something like your family, someone you can trust and love. You will have classes with the rest of your house, sleep in your house dormitory and spend free time in your house common room.
As I might have mentioned before we got here, the four houses are named Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Each house has its own history, Head of House and ghost. While you are at Hogwarts, you accomplishment earn your house points but if you break any rules, don't expect a cake from us, or a present. At the end of the year, the house with the most points will win the House Cup, a great pleasure. And whoever is in Gryffindor, please don't break any rules! "she explained everything careful. Finally, within a swift gesture, she opened the doors of the Great Hall, smiling to the older students that clapped their hands to welcome the newbies properly. She marched to the Staff Table and clapped along as the Sorting began ♡

{TADA! Get ready to be sorted! ^.^ Hope you'll have a nice time here with us! Oh, and one more thing : welcome! -^.^-

❝ IGRAINE TILLY BOULSTRIDGE ❞

Iggy had quickly hopped up from her seat on a bench and stuck close to the tall woman, nearly bumping her shoulder into the woman's hip as she trotted along to keep up -- quickly clambering into a boat and gripping the staff of a burning lantern. Her eyes were locked onto the castle looming ahead as the boat trudged along the lake's surface. Excited butterflies fluttered in her tummy as she gave a little shiver, grinning brightly in awe and wonder. 'I can't wait!'

- - - - - - - time skip - - - - - - -

Iggy continued to stick close to the woman, her blue eyes riveted on the giant double doors leading into the Great Hall as she listened to the woman inform Iggy and her fellow first years of the four Houses that they would soon be sorted into. Iggy's stomach flipped as the doors were pushed open and she bit her lip, eyes glazing at the sheer number of students turning their eyes to look at the first years. 'Just keep breathing, Iggy!' she said to herself, walking over the threshold with the her peers and up the center aisle towards the head table and the sorting hat.

FIRST YEAR

 

[Awesome Comes Standard]

Rudolphus entered the castle, marveling at the beauty and majesty it seemed to give off. He could feel magic tingling on his spine. It was a wonderful feeling.

He followed the rest of the first years through the great hall, not being able to tear his eyes away from its ceiling. It seemed to just reach up into the heavens, as if the Great Hall was an extension of the night outside. He had reach about the chamber being enchanted somewhere... but where was lost to him, and the reality of it was much more breathtaking than the book could ever describe.

He clambered up in the line of fellow first years to the front of the hall, nearly avoiding stumbling on chairs and the stairs up to the elevated platform where they would be sorted.

Lennox took notice of the girl who stood next to him. His fingers fiddled inside his robes as he fought himself whether or not to talk to her. Holding up a glance, it seemed as if she wasn’t one to converse so he kept his silence. Speaking to her would only make things difficult for him. Trying to think of what to say next, taking too long for an answer and an awkward silence would come between them. He's had enough of those. When the Groundskeeper had decided to make a move, he made sure that he stayed close to her. As if the cold air wasn’t enough, the professor had decided to lead the group towards a massive lake.

He gaped at the boats, puzzlement apparent. Where were they going? Creeping up to the water, a shiver went up his spine. The water was pitch back, emitting a haunting aura. His sweaty palms clenched tightly to the insides of his robes backing away in fear that he might fall in. Forever lost in the darkness with no one to save him. As his eyes searched the water, he saw the reflection of the castle. The boy quickly raises his head to look upon Hogwarts. It was a magnificent building that towered over the entire area. Warm and inviting, as if reliving the times of the medieval. The flickers of fire in the castle gave it a glow so alluring like a fly to bright light. A devils trap in the waiting. Hopefully he wouldn’t end up like the poor fly.

His thing lips opened slightly as he began putting the pieces into the puzzle. Boats. Water. Castle. Then it donned on him. Amidst all his thinking, students began piling the boats, leaving no room for him. In the end, he was forced to enter the boat Professor Eleanor inhabited. A cautious step into boat caused it tip slightly which sent a shock of fear to his brain. Without another moment’s hesitation, Lennox pulls the rest of his body on the wooden raft, sitting on the hard wood in front of Eleanor. It was rather comforting to know that he was with a teacher rather than a bunch of nameless wizards that had no clue how to control their magic. He didn’t either so it was best to put his hands on someone he could trust. A teacher.

He shuffled about the boat, looking for the oars. How else would they get across? God knows what’s in those waters and he was not going to risk his hand by sticking it in the water to move it. One cue, one by one, the boats slink off from the edge of the gravel beach and towards the looming mass that overlooked them. The castle was a sight well to behold. A sight he would have enjoyed more if he didn’t fear of something shooting out of the water to come out and grab him. The boy hugged himself, keeping his hands tucked within his arms. Resting his elbows on his knees, he looked up from his position as they neared the boathouse. The light provided at the front of each boat provided itself nearly useless since they seemed fine to be moving by itself.

When they reached the boathouse, Lennox was one of the first to get off the ruddy boats. It was a lot better taking in the sight in front of him on stable ground. Following the professor once more, they took the long path filled with his fair share of steps towards the Great Hall. The giant door opened to the small flock of first years, Lennox admiring the craftsmanship on the enormous door. He looked to see who had opened it. Perhaps it was like an automatic door? How silly of him. These were wizards he was with. They couldn’t possibly be using something that as invented by muggles to support themselves. Wizards did plenty of hocus pocus from fairy tales. Surely they did plenty more magic than the ones at magic shows or carnivals.

Lennox halted and tried his best to listen to Professor Duke but the inside was just as fascinating as the outside. To his right, led to the staircases. He could have sworn he saw pictures move. One out of the thousands that were placed throughout the entire castle. There wasn’t much time to look any further for the doors to the Great Hall had already opened. He wanted to stay and take a look around but the bodies ushered him forcefully out of his line of interest.

Sato Aiko
First Year

Where am I? The Great Hall.
What am I doing? Getting in line for Sorting.
What am I thinking? Ravenclaw please.
Who am I with? With all the other first years.

Aiko saw the boy look at her and she tilted her head, looking back at him. But he said nothing, so she kept her mouth shut, which was alright for her. The tall lady, the Groundskeeper, directed them towards boats sitting in the lady. She followed the woman, then got in the same boat as the quiet boy. She smirked as she watched him search for the oars to maneuver the boat. Brushing a lock of her light brown hair back behind her ear, Aiko nodded towards another boat as it started to move. When their boat began to move, the boy held his knees, looking rather cold. She became idly aware that it was decently chilly out. She was used to the colder weather so it didn't bother her that much. Glancing out of the boat, she took in the water and sighed, glancing at the boy again. The boats pulled into the dock house and the quiet boy scrambled out. She smirked again and got out behind him, following him closely. He seemed to be studying the doors. When the doors opened, she gave him a gentle push. "Don't be scared," she said, the first thing she'd said since her parents left her at the train station in London. Then she filed into the Great Hall along with all the other first years.

Alfred walked into the Entrance hall carrying several books. The Divination Professor stumbled and the textbooks spilled across the floor. Sighing the Professor went to pick up the many textbooks that had fallen. "I should have put these away a while ago" he muttered to himself.
