Welcome to Gaia! ::

Riley nodded as Simon pointed out she missed the Sorting. "Oh yeah I dropped something..." she trailed off as she scanned over the new arrivals of their house. There certainly were a lot of new Ravenclaws this year. "They seem like an interesting bunch." She commented and smiled. Riley racked her brain when Simon asked if she remembered Chase. "Oh yeah. Chase..." she paused forgetting his last name. "You play Quidditch, right?" she asked quickly

Riley offered Simon a smile when he apologized. "It's fine! I probably should have been more careful. It was just a bookmark I had in my pocket. I didn't even realize it had fallen out until last minute. I guess it must have been kicked out of the way though since I didn't see it." She shrugged a bit sadly. It was just a cheap one she had picked up at a store one day but she still did favor it. She had used it for most everything the entire summer. "Besides I can find another one somewhere I guess. And you probably would have missed the sorting too." Riley would have felt terrible if she had cause him to miss out on something for a trivial matter.

Injuries/Illnesses: ------

Out of character: ------

Ravenclaw....Apparently this was his house now. What did that mean though? What did it mean to belong to Ravenclaw? When the house in blue and bronze erupted in cheers he took that as his sign that it was his table. Unable to help the smile on this face he hopped off the stool and made for that table. His knees didn't feel like jelly but they were a tad shaky though he tried to ignore it. A soft mew came from inside his robes and the smile got bigger. Abraxas just made his life better. He didn't hear the next house called as the feline had his attention. It slipped up out of the inner pocket of his robe and clambered onto his neck purring all the while. Gently he stroked the silky black fur to both settle himself and the cat. Oh how he wished he knew what it meant to be in this house! Zayne was going to have to ask a few people or maybe there was something he could read about? A place this big had to have a library. He needed to go there as soon as possible. Did they allow pets in there? Hmm...so much he needed to learn and already he felt like he was behind.

This place was nothing like the school he had attended for the last six years of his life. That had been all linoleum floors, florescent lights and noisy children. Back home he would be just entering middle school had he not been here. His parents had agreed that they were going to tell people they were sending him to a private school to avoid media attention. The name of the school was not disclosed but he knew they were trying to figure it out. His family had a bad habit of attracting attention. This place though...the floor was definitely not linoleum nor those flickering candles false. Magic...he had seen some preformed when the went shopping but part of him wondered if he really could do it. Probably a question a lot of people like him wondered, people who were born form non magical parents. What was the word for them again? Oh well he'd remember eventually. Pats on his back and calls of welcome greeted him as he made his way to an open seat near the front of the table, close to the staff end of the table. Taking his seat he let the smile on his face stay not waning in the slightest.

"Remind me Brax, to write mum and the dads. Well that is once I learn a bit more about what this house means." Zayne said softly to the cat who's head was now tucked under his left ear. Another soft mew met his ears followed by more purring earning a chuckle from the blond boy. Turning his attention to the table he nodded and answered some of the hello's he got all the while taking interest in what was before him. There was plates and silverware all of golden hue before him. A large grin replaced his smile at the sight of the goblet. Mum had a lot back home upstairs in the kitchen. She would have loved these. She wouldn't, however, have liked having to cook for so many people. How did they do it? More importantly how were they going to serve it? Hopefully it wouldn't take too long. The more he sat there the more he felt the hungry chewing away at his stomach. Before Zayne could stop himself he found his thoughts running away and chasing another question he had. Tonight was a night of questions apparently. Something told him if he wasn't careful it would be a really long one too.
