The First Feast
As Amelia walked into the great hall, she expected some magic, but she didn't expect it to be so magnificent! She heard a few other firsties around her losing their breath, or taking an especially deep one. An awestruck "Woah" escaped her lips as well.Date: September 1st, 2024
Notes: Anyone's welcome to join! Just bump into us or something! Would love new friends
The ceiling, the candles!! She could see the stars through the ceiling- or was there even a ceiling? And the candles just floated in midair, creating a cozy feeling, something that reminded her of cuddles. Even the air itself felt magical at Hogwarts!
Amelia inhaled, the air warm and welcoming. The hall itself seemed like out of a dream, draped with warm colours and full of friendly chatter. A three-legged wooden stool was in front of the long tables, with an old, rather dusty hat on it. The Sorting Hat!
"I'm gonna be sorted first, out the three of us, right?" she whispered anxiously to her two new friends. If she remembered their last names correctly, Pamela should be right after her, and a few letters later, Anthony. Amelia didn't really like the thought of being sorted first- she liked to come first on other things, such as grades. But first, when you're not really sure what's gonna happen to you?! Luckily, Amelia was only a G(Garnett), so there were loads of other students before her. Some of them ran to their assigned tables, some walked; some looked scared, some looked delighted; so whatever she'll do should be alright.

Pam gaped as she entered the great hall with her friends. She had heard that the place was stunning and magical, but nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. It was like it was straight out of a book! The ceiling was stunning, lines with hundreds of glowing candles, would we be taught to do that, She wondered. She couldn't wait to spend her next years in this magical place!
The Great Hall was divided by four tables, Pam assumed, were for the four houses.
Pam finally noticed the wooden stool at one end of the hall, and on top of it was the sorting hat. Behind it was a bench where all the teachers were sitting in a row.
"That looks like one hell of an old hat." Pam whispered to the others, with a giggle, "Dad said it will practically read our mind..." She frowned remembering what her father had told her. I hope it doesnt see stuff to personal... she thought. "I'm gonna be sorted first, out the three of us, right?" Amelia whispered anxiously. Pam shrugged, "I dunno how this works. Anthony?" She turned to the boy in the group and raised an eyebrow, "Any ideas??"

The First Feast
Anthony walked in with the others his eyes widen there were so many people.he looks at the other two as Pam asks the question. ”oh um , the hat sings a song then they call us up one by one , and the hat decides witch house you go in then you go sit at whichever table “ he explains jestering to the hat and tables .He try’s not to stumble over his words but this was all so overwhelming for him . Everything was so loud and bright . ”yeah Amelia you’re going first out of us three” he says softly . Names started being called . He tried to stand still but he had so much nervous energy bottled up.what houses did the others want again? He thought to himself. Pam wanted ravenclaw or Hufflepuff and Amelia …. She wanted ravenclaw maybe ? Maybe Pam and Amelia would be together. That would be great for them he thought less grate for me though but I expect to be in slytheren . It’s highly doubtful either of the girls will get slytheren he thinks to himself,I will tho all of his ancestors did and he didn’t fit with any of the other houses.

Amelia smiled in response, a bit stressed, and waited for her turn to be called up to the stool and be sorted. Finally, she was called. She walked over to the stool quickly, trying to release her nervous energy through the walking and keeping her posture as straight as she could, trying not to seem afraid in front of her new friends.
She sat down, and the hat fell around her eyes. She couldn't see anything, but she could hear the Hat talking to her; her mum has warned her about, but still, Amelia could feel her heartbeat quicken. It mumbled to her, and she listened, wondering what would be the best house for her. After a second or two under the Hat, she didn't need to wonder no more: "SLYTHERIN!"
Amelia ran to the Slytherin table and sat down, waiting for her friends to be sorted. The Sorting was a bit stressful, but she was welcomed with open hands to her table, some clapping on her back, some saying things along the lines of "Congratulations on making it to the best house" and calling her "little snake". She wasn't really sure what to make of it, but it seemed to be said in a friendly manner, so Amelia relaxed and sent a bright smile to her friends, hoping one of them might join her.

Pam smiled, as she watched Amelia sit at the Slytherin table. She rubbed her hands together, feeling a bit nervous as she waited for her name to be called. She wondered whether Anthony or her would be called first and nearly jumped out of her skin as her name was called, "Pamela Graham."
Pam walked over to the stool, nearly stumbling and flushed in embarrassment as heat crept down her cheeks. She quickly sat down as the hat was placed on her head. "Ah! Pamela Graham! I remember sorting your mother!" The hat spoke in her head. Pam frowned, "You do...?" "Of course I do! She had promised a lot of potential! Perhaps you should go to Ravenclaw, just like her! Oh wait no.... I see something much stronger in you- a fierce loyalty for your friends behind all that intelligence..... I know what to do! You should go to..... HUFFLEPUFF!"
Pam jumped off and quickly walked over to the Hufflepuff Table, sitting down beside an older girl who clapped her on the back and greeted her with a "Welcome to Hufflepuff!" She smiled over to Amelia, sitting at the Slytherin table, and Anthony, still waiting for his turn, giving him a thumbs-up.

After sitting down, Amelia observed her friends and those around her, trying to see if any of them were nice, and to see how her friends were doing at the same time, eyes jumping between the different people; it was rather dizzying though, so Amelia gave up on it quickly. She shook her head, refocusing. She almost missed Pam's sorting!
As her friend jumped off to her house table, Amelia was a bit sad for her, as she wanted Ravenclaw. She seemed happy enough in the Hufflepuff table though, smiling to Amelia and giving Anthony a thumbs-up, so Amelia dismissed that thought quickly. Amelia returned her smile; waiting for Anthony to be sorted might take a while, as he's R and it's alphabetical. He wanted to be a Slytherin, Amelia recalled, so although Pamela is a Hufflepuff now, perhaps she'll share a house with Anthony! Another thought popped in Amelia's head as she thought of the train ride. It seemed ages ago! But she definitely said something along the lines of "suffocating dungeons" about the Slytherin common room. Well, she'll have to get used to being underground. Perhaps she'll find she loves it, even!
Wondering how long will it take until the food will arrive, she waited, looking around at the other Slytherins near her, scanning again for friendly faces, and every once in a while checked on her friends.

Anthony looked at the floor nervous energy knotting in his stomach waiting to be called . He hated the feeling of eyes on him . So many eyes he thought what if he made a mistake.He didn’t have time to prepare before the hat called “Anthony Ruin !”
He looks up eyes wide momentarily forgetting how to breathe he walks up to the stool shoulders tense hand shaking . He sits down someone places the hat on his head he can hear his own heartbeat as the hats voice fills his head “ Anthony Ruin , you’re quite an interesting case arnt you … “ the hat murmurs. He gulps his breathing shaky . The hat continues “I can’t rightfully put you in Gryffindor can i your family wouldn’t be happy, I can’t put you in Slytherin either , “ the hat says. “but why “ he whispers hoping the hat would change his mind . “Well dear boy ,you wouldn’t be happy you don’t fit with that house at all , ah I know … RAVANCLAW !” The hat shouts. He went pail as the hat got taken off his head he could see everyone clapping . It was too loud , everything was too loud . His eyes glued to the floor he goes and sits at the table . He heard the congratulations of others and felt people slapping his back. Why were people touching him why was everyone so LOUD! He tryed to keep his breath steady but he could feel it getting faster . This wasn’t right none of this was right he thought

Pamela watched Anthony walk upto the stool and have the Sorting Hat placed on him. She wondered whether he would get the house he wanted or be put into a different one. After all both she and Amelia had been put into different ones. Amelia's was definitely a little surprising since she had said quite surely that she hadn't wanted Slytherin, but she didn't seem to mind it.
Pam clapped along with the others as Anthony was declared Ravenclaw. Somehow, she felt it made sense. Although, the boy was silent and rarely spoke a lot, Pam had had a hunch that he had brains since their talk on the Hogwarts Express. However as he went to sit over at the Ravenclaw table, Pam felt as though something was wrong with him. His breath was coming sharply and she could see him shutting his eyes and sitting stiffly as people patted his back.
Is he having a panic attack? Pam wondered, Is he upset about not getting Slytherin?
She could see his discomfort at being touched by so many people. She understood it well. But the male seemed to be freaking out. She waved over to catch his attention, feeling the need to ask him about it. "Are you alright?" She mouthed to him.

Finally, lt was Anthony's turn. The Hat covered his face, so Amelia couldn't see his expression, but something changed in him. He was too far away for Amelia to point it out, so she just waited.
He was sorted to Ravenclaw- well. It just means some more friends, as she might get to know some housemates from Slytherin, and she'll have a friend in Hufflepuff and a friend in Ravenclaw.
As Anthony walked to the Ravenclaw table, clapping with everyone else, Amelia noticed something- she wasn't sure what was it, again, but this time, something seemed awfully wrong.
She kept on clapping with everyone else, worry creeping into her as she noticed his eyes haven't left the floor, head down. He was breathing hard, and so, so pale. Was he overwhelmed? Amelia glanced at Pam, checking if the girl saw it too, and if so, if she knew what should they do- if they should even do something to begin with. She could see Pam mouthing something to him, trying to catch his attention; but would he notice?
Amelia watched him worriedly- it obviously just gotten worse every second, although she wasn't sure what exactly had gotten worse. Perhaps they should just take him out of the great hall for a minute? Or would it be more embarrassing to go back in, and then it wouldn't help?

Anthony focuses on his breathing when someone taps him on the shoulder he looks up to see another Ravenclaw student .The Ravenclaw girl points in Pam’s direction and says something ,he doesn’t here what she said or rather he didn’t proses what she said . He looks over to the Hufflepuff table where Pam was sitting ,she was mouthing something .He tried to focus on her what was she saying . Maybe she’s worried he thinks , oh gosh I don’t look like I am freaking out do I, I’m usually so good at hiding my emotion. Respond , he remembers he has to respond should he smile , no he’s not really good at smiling it would probably look more like a grimace. He grips the edge of the table clapping , everyone was clapping, he should clap too he thinks to himself still overwhelmed. He starts clapped looking over at the stool and the rest of the kids who hadn't been shorted yet . He claps everything is still too loud but if he acts like everyone else no one will notice his inner turmoil he thinks to himself . For the rest of the sorting he claps his bangs falling in his face all the names blaring together .
