General The Slytherin Table 2019-2020

Later in the evening Opeila entered the Great Hall for dinner. She looked over to the Slytherin table where some of her housemates were having dinner as well, some of them in groups, some alone. Unsure where to go she stayed in the entrance for one or two minutes until she felt extremely awkward.
Opeila took a deep breath, walked over to a group of Slytherins and sat down. She could feel her face turn red whe the others looked at her surprised. Most of them were first years and they looked nice but Opeila felt like an outsider. She learned her lesson about people of her age in primary school. "Hello.", she said quietly. "I hope you don´t mind me sitting here... It´s just... I don´t know anyone here and I thought, maybe... Um, I am Opeila. " Opeila stopped feeling extremely ridiculous. What was she thinking coming here? She wasn´t some Newt Scamander who arrived in a different world and just so happened to make friends. She didn´t even know how to talk to other people. Embarassed she grabbed some toast, looking down on her plate. Nervous she bit her lip while spreading some butter on her toast. She just hoped someone would say something. Anything.

After being Sorted into the Slytherin house, Amy had shyly made her way to the table and sat down. A few people smiled and congratulated her, but none of them really striked up a conversation. Murmuring a few words of thank you, the young female reached over and grabbed a few items of food. She wasn't entirely starving, but it wasn't like she was not hungry either.

Being accepted into Hogwarts was a big thing for Amy. Her parents and even her siblings had attended the magical school, and it was as if she was keeping the family tradition. This didn't mean she didn't miss them however, and a wave of sadness washed over her at the thought of them. Chewing slowly, she thought back on the night at her house, the day she came to terms with her power. If my brother hadn't thrown Mr. Floppy out the window I would've never knew I had magic inside of me. she thought in realization. Just as she wanted to get up to go grab her stuffed rabbit, another first year approached and sat down at the table. She seemed a bit nervous, and Amy instantly found herself wanting to be her friend.

"Hello, I'm Amy. I'm new here too and isn't it scary? It's so many people and everyone seems to hungry to talk. Nice to meet you. "

Alina was quite excited to be finally be seated among other students again, especially ones who seemed to have a few things in common with herself. She was now fitted with a pretty new crest on her cloak, one that hosted the House of Slytherin. Although she had really felt that she'd would've been sorted into Gryffindor, a house was better than no house. Besides, green was her favorite color. Alina only hoped that her friends and family wouldn't look at her differently because of the colors she adorned.

At the moment Alina was trying to enjoy her very first meal at Hogwarts. As the excitement of being sorted ebbed way–surprising, given how much energy she usually carried—she moved onto something far more interesting: making friends.

It was what anyone in her place would do. The only people she knew her were relatives who she probably wouldn't speak to unless they were in her classes or dormitory. Looking around, Alina could see that there were indeed a lot of students. She wondered what would come of this year: lots of drama, lots of fun, or lots of studying? She hoped it would be balanced.

Alina was chewing heartily when a girl came to sit down. She seemed really uneasy and she wondered why. She was about to ask when another girl spoke up first. Alina thought that it was kind of her to try to befriend her.

She decided to join into the conversation; it was a great opportunity as any to make friends. "It is a bit daunting," she agreed, casting a smile at them from across the table. "Did you both think you'd get sorted into ole Slytherin? I sure didn't."

Had she heard it correctly? After generations of Gryffindors, had Arabella Griffin really been sorted into Slytherin. It seemed impossible, and yet here she was, in the great hall in front of everyone. The hall was silent. Nobody knew what to do.
Slowly, she stood up, removing the hat from the top of her head, and walked over to the Slytherin table. They all stared at her, unsure of whether to cheer or turn her away. Eventually they started clapping, but no cheering or whooping for her.
Arabella was -to say the least- was mortified. Had she actually just broken the multi generational tradition? It had to be a dream. To be sure, she actually pinched her arm, but to her dismay she didn't wake up in her bed in the Gryffindor common room like she hoped. Instead she was sat in between two slytherins who couldn't help but stare at her. It seemed as though everyone was staring at her. Of course that wasn't true, as they had moved on to the next sorting, but to Arabella, the world felt like it was over. How was her mother going to react?
After the sorting was over, Arabella tried to eat, but wasn't able to, so she instead resorted to tearing up a piece of bread so that her peers didn't notice her not eating.

Kara leaped from the chair of which she just got sorted on and ran over to the Slytherin table. People were clapping as everyone else got sorted. She looked around at the others and wondered if anyone would want to talk to her. She looked away from them, and instead of waiting for others to talk to her, she would enjoy the delicious-looking food in front of her and talk to others in the common room.
She clapped as others were sorted, some Hufflepuff, some Ravenclaw, some Gryffindor, others joined her at the Slytherin table. She took large bites of roast beef and mashed potatoes smothered in gravy.
She smiled at other first years as they joined the Slytherin table. She was friendly but decided to keep to herself unless others insisted on meeting her, which she didn't argue about. She believed she was a nice person to talk to.
"I wonder what Lilly is doing back home, with Mia and Gabriel..." she murmured to herself.
She pushed away the thought, knowing her siblings would be happy that she got accepted into Hogwarts.
She then wondered if Mia and Gabriel even knew she was at Hogwarts, just because they were Muggles didn't mean they weren't aloud to know about magic, right?

After the Great Feast, she left with the rest of Slytherin, following all the prefects. She didn't know anyone's names, but she knew she would one day.

This was so much cooler than he had ever imagined. Although maybe not what he had thought. When he was on the train he had spent some time wondering where he would end up and how he would be placed by the sorting hat. Ravenclaw was his first pick. He hadn't even considered any others.

The more that he sat and thought about it the clearer it became though, it did make sense. All his life he was scared of becoming something dark and maybe this was his chance to prove that he wasn't. A test of sorts that would make sure that he could handle everything.

As he sat and looked around the great hall he saw so many faces but knew that he would be unlikely to ever meet many of them. Another thing that came crashing down on him was the size. Even the great hall itself was so unbelievably large to him that it felt daunting. Like an empty cavern that you could not hide from. He was not scared of it but felt somewhat intimidated by it. Like somehow he could get lost and never find himself in the grandeur of the school.

Some of the other students seemed to be laughing and having a good time, making friends and looking around in wonder but Rhydian sat alone amongst the crowd. Feeling that sense of emptiness his mother had once warned him about. A trait that she had shown when she was first here. That hollow emptiness that seemed to pull the excitement and joy out of him.

He shook his head, this would not be him. Not here or anywhere else. He stood and brushed off his cloak and made his way to the door. He exited the hall and sat against the cool stone walls across from the door, letting the cold feeling neutralize the panic that was surely coming. "I can do this, I have to do this." He said to himself and sat there a while longer, trying to pull together a shard of the confidence he had coming into this place.

Kara sat at the end of the Slytherin table, alone, again. She was so angry at herself for being such a coward and not even being able to talk to anyone.
Kara shoved some carrots into her mouth and almost swallowed them whole. She caught herself ad realized that her anger could kill her. She hated that she had such self-pity. She looked around for a little and then looked back down at her book, "Warriors, The Silent Thaw."
She always read a book while she was eating, it was one of the things that distracted her, so she brought a book with her everywhere, even to class. She'd always read in her free time during class, but other times, she was in the Owlery writing letters to Lilly, Matthew, Mia, and Gabriel.
She sighed as she looked around. The Great Hall was echoing with cheerful voices of some second year girls gossiping and some Ravenclaw boys talking about the most recent Quidditch match.
Kara hadn't seen the game, for sports didn't interest her that much. She remembered that her foster brother, Gabriel, had always loved sports and invited her and Mia to watch the football games with him and Matthew while Kara and Mia were playing. She smiled at all the sweet memories of her foster home. The family she lived with might not have been connected by blood, but it was connected by something better, love.
She sighed, knowing now that Gabriel and Mia would never know about her being magical, Lilly had told them that she had gotten accepted into a really good boarding school for girls instead of telling them the truth and saying that she was going to Hogwarts.
A sad look formed on her face, knowing she would probably never find anyone who would like her, and Gabriel and Mia weren't there to help.

@Kara Capricorn

Lilian walks to Slytherin table and looks for a spot to sit and eat something. She was so hungry cause she didn't eat anything till now. I am so hungry she thought but this was her fault cause she didn't want to eat anything. But now she was feeling that she need food.

When she was looking she saw a brown-haired girl at the end of the table. The girl was reading a book while eating. She wonders what was she reading. I can ask her later she thought. She starts to walk towards to girl. When she gets close to the girl she realizes that the girl looks kinda sad.

Actually Lilian was anxious she hopes that she can talk and be friends with this girl. She slowly sits across the girl and decides to make her meal then talk with the girl.

Lilian looks at all the food on the table and takes a piece of chicken with a bunch of tomatoes and potatoes. she just takes water for a drink. Then she looks straight to the girl and says ' Um... Hello sorry, I didn't ask before sitting but you look lonely so maybe ı can eat with you.'

@Lilian Doll


Kara kept reading her book and ended on chapter 12.
"Um..Hello sorry, I didn't ask before sitting but you look lonely so maybe I can eat with you."
Those words hit her straight in the heart, her wish had come true. "Ok, don't mess this up, this is your only chance." She thought to herself.
She looked up from her book to see a short, blonde-haired girl sitting beside her now. Her robes showed that she was a Slytherin too. She looked friendly, so Kara took her only chance she had. She first tried to smooth out her frizzy hair and her brown eyes glimmered with satisfaction, this was it, her first friend at Hogwarts!
She smiled at the girl politely.
"Hello, and yes, it's obvious isn't it, I'm super lonely. Well, ignoring that, I'm Kara, Kara Capricorn."
Kara realized that the girl was probably going to think she was weird, her last name was a strange one, but she never knew her birth one, so her foster mother, Lilly had taken her horoscope as her last name. She looked back down, embarrassed, thinking she screwed up. She didn't know why she was so nervous all the time. She got mad at herself again, why did she have to be such a hermit!

The girl looks at her with surprise but a happy face and she said "Hello, and yes, it's obvious isn't it, I'm super lonely. Well, ignoring that, I'm Kara, Kara Capricorn.''

Lilian was happy that she could finally have a friend. I am not gonna be lonely in my Hogwarts life she thinks and gets excited and happy. She hopes that the girl in front of her thinks the same things as her. İf she is thinking the same things she can be good friends with her.

She smiled at Kara and said'Nice to meet you, Kara. I am Lilian Doll. By the way, your surname is a horoscope right its so unique to have a surname like that. Actually ı wish that ı had a unique and beautiful surname as yours ı don't think that my surname is good. Oh, and do you have an interest in horoscopes? Actually ı have a little interest. '

She takes a sip of her water and continue 'I hope we can be friends Kara.' she says and smiles at Kara. While waiting for Kara's reply she thinks that she can be great friends with her cause Kara seems like a good girl and Lilian thinks that they have a lot of common interests.
