Welcome to Gaia! ::

Waving to Lucy, Allyse said, "The names Allyse Lukas! Nice to meet'cha!" Then turning to reply to Mia, Allyse replied, "Why else would I be here? And no, I didn't jinx it. I got dangerously close to it, though. In line, I thought, 'I guess I'd like to be in' and stopped myself there. It'd be sad if I got some response from that old hat like 'Since you asked, I will put you in this house for absolutely no reason at all.' So I'm glad I did stop there."
She laughed and smiled sheepishly.

Will walked into the Great Hall, lagging behind many of the other students and trudged over to his table, Gryffindor. He noticed two new faces already there, mingling with the older students. Sitting down near his sister, he idly waved at the two new girls. "Hey, name's Will Radcliffe. Tammy's little brother. Nice to meet you." Then he rested his head down on his hands, waiting for the food to appear. He was in a rather dismal mood, and it didn't help that his girlfriend was missing from the train and the table. With a heavy sigh, he waited for the food to appear.

♡ Lucy returned Tammy's smirk with pleasure, letting out another silly giggle as she arched an eyebrow at her, "Oh, getting all bossy now, are you?" she teased her with a joyous, playing grin as she pointed to Will as he arrived, frowning and almost pouting, "Hey!" she barked in a quiet voice to make sure only the small group of people will hear, "Wipe that pout off your face, will you?" she reached out to grab the corners of Will's cheeks, pulling them into a forced, freaky smile. Laughing, she slapped playfully one side of his cheeks twice with a satisfied grin before turning to the Sorting again, singing under her breath ♡

~Fourth Year~

Levana sighed a long deep sigh. Everyone seemed to have something to talk about with each other. She had no idea what sort of topic she could bring up with anyone at the table. So instead she just listened in to everyone. Perhaps she could catch something that she could add her opinion to.

Another rumble echoed in her stomach and she placed a hand over it. She hoped the food would come soon or else she believed she'd pass out. Out of nervousness of returning to school, Levana had not eaten a single meal since that morning. Not a good idea when she looked back on it but now it could not be helped.

Paige had at first been startled by the voice that spoke to her from inside the hat that no one else seemed to here. She wasn't too offended about being told she toed a line between bravery and stupidity--she had done too many boldly stupid things in her life to deny it. And she was pleased by being called brave.

She made her way over to the table where the people had waved as she was sorted. She squeezed into a too-small gap between two people and sat down. Almost all the people at this table looked happy to be there and friendly; there was only one or two people who looked cross, and Paige thought that if they were as hungry as she was, they had every reason to be cross. She hadn't eaten anything on the train--she had ordered a handful of chocolate frogs, but upon finding out they were actually frogs, she decided it seemed a little cruel to end their lives thusly. All she had put on her stomach since a light breakfast that morning was a little bit of pumpkin juice.

Her mouth was watering at the very thought of supper, but she knew sitting there and thinking about it wouldn't make the food come put any faster. She decided that meeting her year- and housemates would be the best use of her time at the moment, so she reached out to bump a girl she thought someone had called 'Levana.' She looked a little older than Paige, but friendly.

"Hi," she said cheerfully. "My name's Paige. I'm new."

~Fourth Year~

Levana had ben a bit surprised when someone bumped her. For a moment she thought that they had did it on accident but in fact they were trying to get her attention. It was a first year that looked like a very nice girl. Definitely someone she could be easy friends with.

"Hello Paige! Im Levana. Its nice to meet you!" She greeted with a warm smile,"You'll love Gryffindor house, there are so many friendly people in this house" she said not dropping the smile. Inside she was feeling much happier although she tried not to be to overbearing with her excitement.

"What do you think of the school so far? If you have any questions just ask me. Im a fourth year so I know the place rather well" she said scooting over and patting the bench next to her so Paige could sit down.

Paige sat down happily next to the girl, Levana. It was always nice to meet people who would be able to help her find her way around. Hogwarts was so big! The letter they sent her hadn't said anything about school being held in a castle. She had so many questions, it was hard to decide which one to ask first. In a rush of words, she asked, "What classes do you take? What's with the ceiling in here? Is there really a giant squid in the lake?" Her voice was skeptical on the last question--she had heard one of the other first years saying that there was, but what could they know, really?

She was startled out of her conversation with Levana by another girl who animatedly introduced herself. Paige waved at her, smiling. "I'm Paige, Paige Cook. It's nice to meet you!" She then looked at the girl, who she thought was also a first year. She tried to remember her name form the sorting--Alissa maybe?--and said, "So we're all new here, huh? Did you guys know it was going to be this huge?"

Tammy smiled at Lucy and Will, then applauded when Paige Cook was sorted into Gryffindor. She smiled as all the Gryffindors around her conversed. She spotted Mala enter the Great Hall and smiled at her. "Oh, you know... only everything. These are our fresh meats... I mean first years. Mia Kyree, Allyse Lukas and Paige Cook." She turned her head to smile at Levana. "Friendly is an understatement girlie." She smirked and pointed to the podium. "Sorting's almost over."
