Welcome to Gaia! ::

Following after his best blonde friend and his new blonde friend, Leo sat down at the Slytherin table, next to Amanda. The Sorting Ceremony begun, and Leo clapped as the new serpents joined their table. Unlike most students at Hogwarts, Leo really could care less for the old-fashioned House rivalry, but he went along with it, content to not stand out. What he was most interested in at this point in time was the ability to eat his first decent meal in several months. The boy had an unfortunate cycle of living quite well at Hogwarts and gaining a healthy, comfortable, though still skinny weight, and then returning to the streets over summer and dropping back down to a dangerously unhealthy weight. But he had become accustomed to the lack of food, and Amanda had graciously provided him with some when he visited her over the summer. Nonetheless, his first nine years of royalty had instilled a fine taste in food in him, and he was eager to get his hands on some.

Eli nodded when Joshua said that she got her wish. "Yea, i guess i did!" She frowned after a moment though. "You don't look too happy about being here." She nodded to the girl, Penny, who was welcoming First Years to Slytherin. "The people seem nice enough. And i mean, like i said, Slytherin is smart and athletic and everything good about any house... You seem to fit the bill. Don't you think?" She cocked her head sideways a tad, blinking at him curiously, then shrugged. "It'll be ok. Promise." She smiled at him again. Her hand raised to start to place a comforting hand on his shoulder, but then she thought better of it. She didn't know him that well yet.

Slip out the back before they know you were there

and at the worst you'll see nobody cares,

you don't want to be around when it all goes down...

The prefect slithered in daunting silence as his peers lingered to their respective houses in robes of bold, identical colors. His badge shined as he meandered down the aisle, passing a group of younger students, and several first years, as he took his accustomed seat, near the center of the table, the best vantage point possible. And watched the sorting in silence.

Just after Joshua thanked her, another boy, one with dark hair and striking features, appeared, sitting near them. He welcomed all of the first years. Wow. He's wicked cute... Eli thought, then blushed. At eleven, she was just starting to get into the boy-watching phase, and Dom had definitely caught her eye. He's got to be way older than me though! she thought, resigning herself.

She waved slightly at him, a bit awkward since she was new. "'Lo then, i'm Eliora Blake. An' you are?" She smiled sweetly.

Ronyo smiled as Marina spoke of her summer being quiet, that would be a nice change of pace compared to how most of his summers went down. It seemed though the girl was not entirely happy about how her summer had transpired and by her eye movement and tone it made it sound like other things plagued her mind. Looking up to watch the large group of Slytherin coming their way Ronyo looked over the new lot as they passed by and for most of them gave a sigh. Why did cunning and ambitious have to coincide with selfishness or ideas of superiority? Without their magic a wizard was no different than a muggle, and most of the time that was the only thing that separated the two cultures.

“Interesting group is it not? Makes you wonder if this house is forever cursed to house those that will forever keep us rooted in ideas of selfishness. Of course the only way that can change is by other believing the house is more than that, and pushing to make such a change in appearance hold. Sometimes the ambition of a Slytherin should be in the betterment of the house and show that not every Slytherin is a snake.”

Ronyo smiled as he remembered how his words had rung true during the battle with the demon that had possessed his best friend. His patronus had manifested in the fight when Ronyo pushed himself and the spell to hold the demon until the adults could properly destroy Roi. Ronyo hoped he would get the chance to show his patronus as it truly reflected him in many ways.
