Welcome to Gaia! ::

You said, oh girl, it's a cold world
When you keep it all to yourself
I said, you can't hide on the inside
All the pain you've ever felt
Ransom my heart, but baby don't look back
'Cause we got nobody else



Nico had been hoping for a house like his parents and he got that wish! He got Ravenclaw like Mom! he was way too happy, and his hair more than showed it. By the time he was sitting by Riddles he had near neon green in his hair. His hair wasn't the only thing changing colors, his robes took on the blue of his new house and the patch had a bird! "We got the same house!" Nico happily said to Riddles in a lowered voice. He so would need to write home! But first food sounded good. The train snacks seemed so long ago...


You know that sometimes, it feels like
It's all moving way too fast
Use every alibi and words you deny
That love ain't meant to last
You can cry tough baby, it's all right
You can let me down easy, but not tonight

On one hand, Sam wanted to roll his eyes at the hat's snark. On the other hand, he honestly appreciated the assurance that the hat wasn't as shallow as some people Sam had encountered. He was sure that he might like Ravenclaw, Sam even liked the sound of it. Smart and witty? That was the kind of motto Sam lived for, even if he was more of an image-minded kind of guy. As he approached the table with students wearing blue robes, Sam actually smiled with satisfaction. Especially when he got a high-five from Eddie. The blond quietly took a seat beside him for a moment, until he quiety clapped for two of his boatmates getting Ravenclaw. As Ridley and Nico took their seats, Sam didn't hesitate to stand up and seat near them. "Looks like we're the three amigos now," he said with an amused smirk, "Sucks that Heath won't be with us in Ravenclaw, though. But that's okay, we'll see him in classes anyway." For someone who usually carried a hard-to-read demeanor, Sam was quite optimistic about this school year. "Also the hat snarked at me, the nerve."

spaceRiddles gave Sam a smile when he moved to join her and Nico, resolving to be more friendly now than she had on the boat ride. She'd had some time to herself, sort of, since then, during the wait for the sorting to start, so she was feeling at least a little refreshed. The promise of dinner starting soon also helped. "I'm sure he'll manage just fine," she said, tone somewhat dry. She hadn't been the least bit surprised that Heath had ended up in Gryffindor, even with what little she'd seen of him. Then again, that tended to be the case with that house, or so she thought.

spaceShe arched a brow at Sam when he mentioned the hat snarking at him, expression faintly amused. "The hat's basically an ancient artifact, I think it's more than earned the right to snark," she pointed out. "And from what I've been told about it, I'd say you earned the snark fair and square. It was perfectly pleasant to me and all I could think about was how I didn't want it on my head." She wrinkled her nose slightly. Thankfully, her sorting had been fairly quick, but she still didn't like having things touch her hair. Other than a scarf every now and again, but even that was rare. "What did it say, anyway?"

spaceNico's question about Quidditch didn't surprise her, he certainly seemed the type. She thought about it for a moment. "I think first years are allowed to play now," she said slowly, "but you have to use one of those ruddy awful school brooms. Which doesn't sound too appealing, I don't think." Riddles wasn't really sure if she cared to tryout for Quidditch or not. That said, she was in Ravenclaw, and knew that the house tended to be in need of more players. Maybe she'd tryout just to make sure there were reserves?

Sam coaxed out a grin when Nico expressed happiness about them- including Sam- hanging out together, even if said grin was short-lived as always. But still, it felt refreshing to know that Nico and Ridley won't be stupidly assuming things about Sam- even if he was caught off-guard by Nico's exuberant demeanor. Sam may be an introvert, private, quiet, and well... sometimes fierce, but he always wanted to have friends.

He hummed as he tried to recount what the hat told him, trying to relay it to Riddles, "Well... when I went to the hat, all I can expect is the hat to be... ahem, shallow like the people I met in my school. People think I'm this anti-social brooder when I'm just really not good at socializing. Worst case is that someone called me a 'sociopath', ew." He rolled his eyes, and Sam still didn't regret slapping that bloke Harold in fifth grade for saying that on his face. Seriously, what a jerk. " I thought the hat will put me in some so-call "Bad Egg" house for that. And the hat's like, "Hey kid, let me just say that I read my book very thoroughly, excuse me."" Sam mimicked of how the hat told him, it was a nice impression, "And then he's like, "For all the snark, you've got a mind. So, Ravenclaw". He sounded exasperated but his expression shifted into relief, as Sam relaxed his shoulders and shrugged, "Welp, at least I know it's not a shallow sorting so, I'm happy." He said, with a straight deadpan face.

[Picture to Come]



Ewan ducked his head as he hurried down to the Ravenclaw table. His cheeks felt hot with embarrassment from the Hat's admonishment for not paying attention to the song. He slipped into an empty seat and stared avidly at the Sorting Hat. He listened intently to his sistering being sorted. When the Hat shouted "Gryffindor!" his stomach plunged.

Ewan hunched his shoulders and traced nonsensical patterns on the table top and dropped his gaze to the floor. He couldn't watch Rhona walk across the room to the Gryffindor Table. They'd never been apart before and suddenly he was surrounded by strangers all chatting with each other like old friends. He tried to ignore how excited everyone else sounded and tried not to fidget unhappily.

Ewan almost jumped when someone talked to him. He glanced at the other boy--Varus, he introduced himself as--when he said his first name, but quickly looked back at the table. "'m okay," Ewan said, his Scottish drawl coming out more clearly as he mumbled. "Didn't think Rhona 'nd me'd be in different houses." He paused. Oddly, something about Varus' stutter made Ewan feel a little more comfortable. He added a little more confidently. "And 't's Ewan, don't like Hayee."

He chewed his lower lip, trying to think of something to say. He was used to talking to Rhona and their parents, not strangers. Finally he asked, "Did you come with anyone? Friends?"

Ewan turned back to face staight ahead, kicked his feet under the table, and sat on his hands to keep from fidgeting. "'t's just Rhona and me," He admitted. He frowned slightly in annoyance and muttered bluntly, "I knew we could be in different houses, but didn't wanna be. Rhona's smart and brace, not like me."

He kicked his feet again and glanced at the other boy from the corner of his eye. He chewed on his tongue before chasing the lure Varus had dropped. "You not close to your siblings?"

Ewan blinked, tilted his head while he studied Varus, and kicked his feet again. He chewed on his lip, thinking. He felt his finger twitch at he sat on him, they practically itched to fidget and tap. "Complex and simple," he rolled the very thought around. While he processed that paradox--which was difficult on an empty stomach (the pumpkin pasties on the train had been a long time ago)--he tackled an easier topic. "Course Rhona and I are different," he snorted. "'t's just a fact that she's braver than me and she pays more attention than me. And we like different things."

His stomach tightened again at the thought of spending the next seven years in a different House than his sister and only seeing her in class--that was almost as long as he'd been alive! He chewed on his tongue again, trying to think about what people talked about. He and Rhona could talk about anything, but what did other people talk about? At least it was a distraction to keep from thinking about being separated. "Do you like book?" He asked slowly and felt vaguely dumb for not knowing to ask Varus.
