Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nell eagerly took the hat off her head and jumped down from the old stool and practically skipped over to the Hufflepuff table. It had been one of her choices and now that she had been sorted into it she couldn't be happier. She was a badger! Once she made it to the table she found an open spot close-but not too close- to older students and waited to see who among her fellow first years would join her.

Nell beamed brightly as Jack joined her at the Hufflepuff talbe and gave her almost expected earnest wave. "Hey Jack! I didn't think you'd get into Hufflepuff." she didn't say this rudely merely with childish curiosity. Her friend has such an air of mystery surrounding him she had been sure he'd land in at least Ravenclaw before Hufflepuff. But she wasn't complaining, a friend was a friend. Suddenly though, a rather teasing smile spread across her face as she watched Gracie be sorted into Ravenclaw. "Though I bet you wish Gracie could join us, or at least for you to join Gracie hmm?" she said chuckling.

Nell was impressed with how well Jack was taking their separation, even if they hadn't even decided yet to take their "close friendship" into something closer. She did however roll her eyes good naturedly at when he remarked on them being in the same house. "I'm too happy to end up anywhere but Hufflepuff! Though, I did consider Ravenclaw as a close second...anyhoo, you're right. It's going to be loads of fun being in the badger house. I just know it!"

Hufflepuff/ Pureblood / First year

- Since the beginning
I’ve seen color, but lately it’s been tainted
With grays and under-glows-

Jack’s face fell slightly, he had worded everything all wrong. He was trying so hard to convince himself that he was happy that he was maybe going a little over the top with it. He was just really a jumbled mess of emotions right now on the inside that he couldn’t think strait. He attempted to grin, but it didn’t stick. Hufflepuff? Why was he in Hufflepuff. He should have been in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Jack hadn’t even realized that he cared until this moment. He had told everyone else that he didn’t after all. He really did miss Gracie even though he’d only met her a hour or so ago.

He exhaled, there was a time and a place for an emotional crisis and it wasn’t now. His smile returned to his lips and he found that he was able to look Nell in the eyes again. “Yeah, I’m excited for it. You seem pretty happy about having a Badger as a house representative though.”

Jack looked up to see an older student aproach them and introduce himself, Jack smiled in return. "Hey I'm Jack Blank, we're really excited to be here."

it looks good on you.

Ariana hadn't realized that if Katrina visits Steele again, she may be in deep danger with her brother. Frowning, she put a hand on her friend's shoulder although she wasn't quite sure what to say. As much as she loved the idea of recording a song at Steele's house with her best friend, Ariana knew that safety was a lot more important. "If it's too risky, we don't have to do it." This was the first time Ariana felt somewhat nervous when physically touching Katrina. Her stomach felt like it was in knots. Not a moment too late, the sorting began and one by one, first years were split into four different houses. About a quarter joined Hufflepuff, while the other three quarters were divided into Slytherin, Gryffindor, and Ravenclaw. Sitting not to far from the first girl and boy to join, the second year girl listened to their conversation. When they introduced themselves to Austin, Ariana butted in. "Hey, I'm Ariana Hawthorne! You guys are going to love Hufflepuff!" she exclaimed cheerfully.

Nell watched as another girl was sorted into Hufflepuff and clapped along with the others as she watched her walk over and get hugged by what looked to be her older sibling. It was then she noticed that another older student had introduced herself and the Scot could only smile sheepishly and blush having not noticed. "Hi, I'm Nell Ellis and I'm sure we will!" When she was sure she had made up for her mistake she turned to the new girl and gave a welcoming grin. "Hello! I don't think we met before the sorting, my name's Nell. What's yours?"

Heather sat silently at the end of the Hufflepuff table. She decided to claim this spot as her own for her future years. The same seat, alone, would be hers for the next several terms. She watched as some first years got sorted into the house of the Badger. They're all friendly and outgoing, just like the other second years. Why is it that I'm the only terribly shy Hufflepuff? Why did I get put in this house? I don't belong here. I don't think I belong anywhere, really. she thought, a small frown on her face. She just didn't understand. Her shyness kept her from doing a lot of things. Thankfully, she could always escape that during a quidditch match. The wind in her hair, the bat in her hand, and the blugger racing towards her trying to kill her. Good times... Good times... Sitting alone, she glanced over at the other second years and the first years. Why can't I be like them? Is there something wrong with me? Why am I so different? she thought.
