Welcome to Gaia! ::

Location : Great Hall - Gryffindor Table ( 2048 )


Monique had been working on her art in her spare time over the summer. She’d been keeping it from her parents not that they cared what she did or where she even went. They never talked to her unless they absolutely had too. Though she couldn’t help but feel like they were up to something. At least in passing conversation it sounded like they were trying to find her a match. She didn’t need help. Besides they never tried that sort of thing with her brothers. Granted there had been talk about them pushing the marriage button on Julius. He was heir to be after all and he needed to get on the marrying and the heir making. It was pretty dimwitted if you asked her.

Being a Gryffindor for five years certainly helped Monique’s mindset. Granted she was still just the same as she had been. She didn’t have to completely hate those of lesser blood, but she didn’t have to completely love them either. There could be exceptions to every rule, like her housemates who turned out (despite their blood) to be decent people to at least talk with.

Regardless of what her family thought, Monique knew she was entitled to have her own opinion. An opinion that her eldest brother didn’t mind her having. Which seemed to be enough for the fifteen year old. She didn’t need her parents’ reassurance anymore. At least not on the little things. Especially when they refused to acknowledge her unless they wanted something. Perhaps if she’d been in Slytherin things would have been different. Course she’d never know.

The sorting was always a major question for Monique. She never really watched the sorting, nor did she have an interest in it. Granted she always wondered just how many were bloody mental like she had been once upon a moon. Honestly there probably wasn’t that many but then again you never know. Throughout the years Monique wouldn’t be surprised if a few were just as bad she once was. Whether they all landed in Slytherin she didn’t really know for sure.

Tsk tsk tsk, so concerned with what others want for you
No real thought for yourself or what you really want, who you are
No, I think we can do better than Slytherin for you, my dear
It'd be a shame to waste you on your family's expectations
Gryffindor!

Max honestly couldn’t wait for the following year when his brother Phoenix would be coming to school. It would certainly make the sorting more interesting. Granted his desire for the festivities to hurry up probably had a lot to do with his stomach. He was starving, no matter how many snacks he had on the way to school. It had been different when he was a first year getting sorted himself. This year he was watching and of course cheering for the newly sorted students. He really just wanted food though.

Sitting at the Gryffindor table Max was certain he could live through the torcher. That’s when he tried to think of something else. If you couldn’t have food yet, then just don’t think about it. That couldn’t be hard. Instead he thought about Quidditch. He’d been considering playing. It looked fun and his sister had played. It was promising at least now that it was proving to be a distraction. It couldn’t hurt anyways right? Aside from the bludgers of course.

Ready, eh? Well, you seem quite sure of that
I think you'll find yourself right at home in
Gryffindor!

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king

Timothy had been watching the sorting quietly, noting where people went. However, when the stool was placed away, he stood patiently and walked over to the podium. He looked over the crowd of assembled students, ready to welcome them to the new school year. "Welcome back to Hogwarts everyone. I hope that your summers were enjoyable, but now it's time to begin a new school year. For those that are just joining us, welcome to the school, and may your time here be full of learning and excitement. Before we get tot he feast, I would like to review a few of the rules that need to be repeated for the older students and should be pointed out for the incoming ones. First off, there is to be no magic used in the hallways between classes, and second, the Forbidden Forest is named such for a reason, and students that ignore that are likely to have a most unpleasant encounter should they push their luck. Other rules are posted for people to review, but these are the most constantly broken ones. Now, let us sit back and enjoy the feast, and again, welcome to everyone here." Timothy took a seat, ready himself to eat.

Sallie was sorted to Gryffindor? Interesting. He didn't know what to feel with that, thought he really felt welcome when other Gryffindors cheered him on. As much as he was thrilled on what kind of dorm he was gonna get, he was a little bit upset that Rian eventually landed to Ravenclaw. He wasn't saying that he expected Rian to be Ravenclaw, but it would be nice to share the same house as him. Oh well. He can see him in other classes, right? No biggie. Well, he can try bonding with some people his age here, Sallie can do this! "Hey, you're Butler, right?" He walked up to her before sitting beside her, "I'm that Houdini, Salvador. Just call me Sallie though, "Salvador" is used when I get to trouble by my old teachers in elementary. D'you have a nickname, too?"

"Nice to meet you, Kenna! Did you have anything interesting that hat told you?" Sallie asked, "The hat told me that I'm being sarcastic because I called him a "Haunted Hat". I mean, didn't that make sense? I think the Hat is possessed by a founder and gain sentience hence why it was haunted. Also I'm not sure if my sarcasm was what lead me to Gryffindor, what do you think? Am I the only one who thought that?" His talkative streak came back once again, whether Kenna was up for it was up to her. Sallie hopes she was up to it, though. He blinked when Kenna pointed out and asked if he has a friend over the Ravenclaw table, prompting him to turn red out of embarrassment. Oops. "Well, yes-ish? I wouldn't get ahead of myself and call Rian a friend? We've only met like 5 hours ago, give or take. But really I think it's because of how I'm new to this..." Sallie vaguely gestured the entire castle, and then his uniform, "Magic thing. I'm what my aunt calls herself as muggleborn or whatever. " He nervously laughed, "Anyway, what's Viv like? Are they nice?"

ꕤ✦❀Ella said her farewells to Cella and Pietro as she went to her own table to wait out the sorting. There wasn't anyone of real interest to her getting sorted so she was half paying attention. The other half was writing a list of what she wanted to accomplish this upcoming year. She'd have done this during the summer if she hadn't gotten caught up on a pretty neat task. When not hanging out with Cella and watching movies and shows, she was working on a color based sorting machine. Basically with the project kit, she would be able to a sorting system that would automatically detect the colors of candies, fruits, or whatever she put into and sort them accordingly. She was going to use this to finally prove to the world that not only do candy corporations shortchange on the good flavors that they also never put the same amount in each bag. Her mum thought she was just being petty because she'd excitedly gotten a jumbo bag of sour straw candy that had boasted it being 2 kilos only to find that HALF had been air. And yes she was being petty but she was also proving a point! Ella had nearly been done with it but got sidetracked by a bunch of other stuff (and also accidentally breaking a small plastic part that in her opinion should've not actually been plastic but who listens to a preteen right) so she figured she could finish it over winter break.

While clapping for the firsties that made it to their table and trying not jostle her poor baby Eliza too much, she noticed that Cella was now sitting next to Chadwick and couldn't help but raise both eyebrows. Personally, she had nothing against the Slytherin (so she called him Chad a few times, he kinda acted like one on occasion unless that was his twin). Impersonally, Sparrow talked about him being her veritable white knight so often that he annoyed her practically on sight. It was wrong yes but did she care, not really. "Well that's an interesting development." she murmured to herself. Cella must've been onto some good dirt, she put her head on her fist and everything. Ella would just wait until she got what she wanted and then get her to dish.

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I scream at myself when there's nobody else to fight

I don't lose, I don't win, if I'm wrong, then I'm halfway right

All you said to do was slow down

But I was already gone






Valeria struggled to stay still as the hat was placed on her and began to speak in her head. She grinned when it said it was nice to meet her too and then began to talk about her personality. So weird, but so cool.


'Lovely to meet you, too, my dear
Now then, let's see here
High energy and with an adventurous spirit,
You'll do well in
Gryffindor!'


She grinned when the word Gryffindor was called and all but ran to the table to greet her new housemates. She was more than pleased to find herself not in her mother's house, though she wondered if this was the house her father had been in. Her step-father had been a Slytherin, she knew that much, but it was hard to know anything about her father when her mother wouldn't even give her a name.


She shook the bad thoughts from her head, quite literally shaking her body to remove them, and plopped into a seat at the table. "Hello," she said to no one in particular. Hoping that one of the students near here would strike up a conversation with her. She recalled Simon had a cousin here, but she couldn't remember his name now that she was at school. Let alone what house Simon had said he was in.




Told me, "Kid, you're going way too fast

You burn too bright, you know you'll never last"

It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now

Here I am, standing all alone
