The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
Backdated To:
September 1st, 2020
Amethyst stood anxiously in line to be sorted. She twitched her fingers, and the sorting seemed to take ages.
"GRYFFINDOR!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!"
"SLYTHERIN!"
The Sorting Hat cried. Everyone seemed pleased with their assessment, and Amethyst hoped she would be the same. She didn't have a traditional house, at least.
Unlike some students, who have been in the same house for generations, Amethyst's family was a lovely quilt of varied houses. Her grandmother was a Slytherin, her uncle was a Hufflepuff. Her mother was a Ravenclaw. So that was good. Her parents couldn't be disappointed - not that they ever would be.
Finally, she was called. She nervously walked to the stool, and sat down. She wasn't sure which house she would be in, so it was a surprise when the Sorting Hat screeched, "RAVENCLAW!"
Ravenclaw. The house she would be in for the rest of her life. She smiled, and realised she was pleased about that. It was exciting, and she could make friends with people who were like her. She gleefully hopped off the stool, and walked down to the table. She scooted herself between two other students, and looked around.
There was so much food! Everything she could imagine was there. Roast beef, potatoes, salad. So, so much to eat. She grinned, and began loading up her plate. She was excited for her Hogwarts education to start.

The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
There was nothing more nerve-racking than a hall full of people. Wait, it was a hall full of people that stared at you while you were waiting. The mummers of everyone could be heard as the names of the newcomers could be heard. Then they would erupt into shouts, claps, and whistles as a new person was sorted into a house. Nersin was a bit uncertain on what house she even belonged in. After reading through the family history it seemed that they had been in all the house, though mostly Ravenclaw. She hoped that she could keep up the family tradition on doing so...Backdated To:
Sept 1st -- Sorting Ceremony
Oh, those candles were amazing. She could help but get lost within the feel of the Great hall. The floating candles illuminated the night sky that could be seen through the roof, well the roof that was supposed to be there. Hmm, what happened to the roof. Then there was the smell of all the foods. SO many foods that she had never even heard of. Though over the summer her mother had taken her to a few of the places in Diagon alley to try some of them out. Over head she saw the moon, and the owls that flew back and forth, oh, this was all so wonderful!
NERISN HAWTHORN! "Hey, I think that is you!" A little red headed girl nudged her in the side, pulling Nerisn out of her daydream. "Huh,what? Oh-- Tha--t's that's me..." She said as she stumbled forward. The Headmaster giving a smile as she wiggled her bum onto the stool. The hat was heavy as it was sat on her head. Attempting to peer at it from under the brim, she was rattled as it started to talk. Grasping the sides of the stool, her knuckles would turn white....
Mmmm, yes, I see you have some wit about you...
Hmmm, you hunger for knowledge...
I do believe you are of ready mind... for...
RAVENCLAW!!!
Nersin couldn't get out of her seat quick enough as the table stood and clapped as their new classmate came to join them. She flopped down at the table, not sure to be excited or unsure. Over all, it had all started, she was now an official Ravenclaw, and all she could hear, was the beating of her heart in her ears!

Mark felt very nervous as he got in line to be sorted! He could help but think " I want to be a Slytherin like my Dad! I also want to be a Gryffindor like my mum! I wonder what I will get..." He looked around as he saw almost everyone staring at the first years in the line. Mark was so nervous that he started shaking. Then all of a sudden he heard his name be called. MARK BRADY! "whoa that's me!'' He then looked around as everyone was starring at him. He started to walk up as a girl with brown hair tapped on him and said "Good luck!" Mark Smiled. He then sat down very nervous but the Hat started to talk.
Hmmm.....You are Curious.....Want more knowledge...
you are....RAVENCLAW!!
Mark was confused. He was wondering why he didn't match with his parents. "Well this is going to be a crazy Journey!'' he said to himself. he Looked around as he got off of the chair and saw everyone that was in blue clapping! He said to himself "I Guess that's my table" He started to walk to the table. Once he sat down his whole Class started to talk to him! He was so excited to be a Ravenclaw!

The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
Nersin was enjoying the goodies that were about the table. The pumpkin pasties were delicious, she had recently discovered these and came to find they were definitely worth the time to eat. A few more names were called and the hats sorted them between the tables. Nersin was not sure how she truly felt about everything that was going on. There was a lot of commotion and she had always kept to herself. But perhaps it couldn't hurt to attempt to make friends? Her mother wasn't around to stop her, and if she wanted to achieve anything, she was sure it would be easier to be friendly than to not be friendly. So many questions were churning in her head as she sat there devouring the food and the drink that seemed to be never-ending upon the table.
Finally, the hat called out another Ravenclaw and she like the others stood up clapping and cheering. This really wasn't something she would normally do, but she got caught up in the excitement of it all. Once the boy, @Mark Brady plopped down, she gave him a crooked little smile. "Hey there! I am Nersin! Isn't this all so neat!" she said as she took another bite of her pumpkin pastie.

Response to @Nersin Winthrope
Mark then noticed a girl with silver blond hair and replied with, "Hey there Nersin! I'm Mark and uh this food looks AMAZING! Look at those Candles!" Mark then took a bite of the pumpkin pastry and sighed because it tasted so good! He then stood up and clapped as another ravenclaw! "I wonder if me and Nersin can become friends," he said to himself. Mark loved the pumpkin pastries. He took another bit of the pastry and sighed once more. The Great hall got louder and louder after a person joined a class! Mark loved that he was in a different group then his parents! It gave him a chance to learn about his group himself! He has heard all the stories his parents have told him but he wanted to have his own story! His story of being a ravenclaw. Not his story of being a snake or a lion but the story of a bird! He Looked at Nersin and smiled. "What if she doesn't want to be my friend? What if we are going to hate each other in the Future?'', he said to himself. He looked at Nersin again and said "Wanna hangout sometime when we are free?"

" Yes! I didn't know where to start, so I did dessert first!" letting out a giggle as she took another bite. Standing up, clapping as another student came to sit t the table. The laughter, the talking, and all the eating. After finishing her bite of pumpkin pastry she gave him a nod, "I don't see why we couldn't!" She had done it! She had agreed to be friends with someone. Well, maybe. You can't always know if you are going to be friends with someone. But he seemed nice enough! So she guessed it couldn't hurt to much to give it a go. Plus, it was the first guy she had ever really attempted to talk to without her mother airplaneing over the top of her. It was all so much fun. The sights, the sounds, the smells, the people. Oh! Who could forget the ghosts!
Nersin had heard of ghosts, but she never thought she would actually see one. One or two had floated around during the sorting ceremony, though she hadn't gotten a chance to know who they were. But she was certain they had all kinds of neat stories to tell. She would have to definitely check them out. But just as she was about to say something to Mark another name as called and she stood up and clapped with the rest of her table

"Wonderful! Maybe we could hang out later after the ceremony...," He said while taking another bite. He looked around and saw that everyone was done getting sorted. To himself he said "When is this going to be over? I'm getting tired.. The ride her was very long"Mark looked around as he saw everyone having fun. While he was looking around he saw that the teachers were talking about something an kept looking at the ravenclaw table. "I wonder what they are talking about. Why are they looking at our table.?", He said to himself. He took some more food. He loved eating the turkey ,chicken ,pie, and all the food! He was confused about why people kept looking at him. While taking a bite he asked himself, "Why is everyone looking at me? What did I do?" He kept eating because he hasn't ate since the train ride. He looks at @Nersin Winthrope and smiles. He kept having a feeling but he didn't know what it was. He looked at @@Nersin Winthrope and said, "Are you excited for this school?" He then laid his head on the table because he was very full. "That was so good!" He said to himself.

Nersin found herself caught up in watching the candles that were floating over head and just was amazed by it all. She was really sitting here in a school that was meant for magic. Meant for people like her! At the beginning of the summer, she really had no clue who or what she was. Though there was always a slight inkling that something was off about her. Perhaps this was it. She pulled back her cloak, just to make sure her wand was still there. Though she wasn't really shown how to use it properly just yet, she was excited at the idea of learning how to use it!
Another rawr of applauds came as someone found their way to the Hufflepuff table. Nersin went to go and finish her drink only to watch it slowly fill itself. She had to rub her eyes to make sure she was seeing what was happening. Blinking a few times, she shook her head and took another drink. It was then that Mark said something to her, as she gave him a simper, "Sorry, I tend to get a bit distracted! Yes, I am! It's all so new to me!" As she finished her sentence to him, she heard the clapping of the HeadMaster, announcing that it was time to go back to the dorms. Giving Mark a beaming smile, "Once we get settled into our dorms, maybe we could meet in the common room? I mean at least that is what I think it's called! Is that okay with you?"

Mark looked at @Nersin Winthrope and smiled as he said,"Ya I would love too! My mother told me about her time in the common room! I hope we can become great friends soon!" He stood up as everyone else and clapped for the beginning of the new year. He then took a sip of his lemon-aid and was shocked as the cup filled it self. After the tour he then went to the common room looking back at @ Nersin Winthrope and said ,"See you soon!"He walked up the stairs and was amazed! He looked at all the paintings and once again was amazed! He couldn't believe his life came this far! He was so happy to be a wizard and was so excited to get started in this school year! He thought he could learn tons of spells or even become famous!! He loved the thought of being different then other kids he thought it was amazing! He couldn't wait to see what the dorms looked like or even what the raven claw house looked like! As he was still walking up the stairs he told himself, "I wonder what I looks like beside the blue and bird theme!"

The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
────────────────────────────────────────────────THE SORTING HAT is removed from her head and Cedrella breathes: a relieved exhale escaping loudly from her lips, as she gets up, and makes way towards the Ravenclaw table, not the slightest change to her demeanor.
Whatever her childish, fantastical imagination had conjured the Sorting Ceremony to be like in her mind, this had been proven to be a lot different. A lot more normal, too, somehow. Well, anything that doesn't match the insanely colorful and wacky scenarios she makes up in the back of her mind can be considered normal. Nervousness and fear had managed to get the best of her, still... Preparing beforehand to the unknown had been proven to fail.
Again.
So, perhaps Bennedict was right to think you should always go with the flow, instead of spending hours preparing ahead. Not that she'd ever admit it to his face, of course. Her brother was already thick-headed and arrogant as he is.
Thanks to hours of attentively hearing her brothers' vague and exaggerated stories, Cedrella couldn't help but stay awake until very late, sleepy eyes turned to the ceiling, as she envisioned her time at the wizarding school. Unlike most, she hadn't been excited about going to Hogwarts, no. Cedrella had been more interested in the thought of Hogwarts itself rather than going, really.
Despite knowing the reputation each house had, and the qualities they represented, she never gave much thought to it. Her brothers, on the other hand, always seemed to bet she'd either end in Ravenclaw or Slytherin. Once, father even made a joke she'd end up in Gryffindor, which lead to mother interrupting, having prepared a few points on why Cedrella should go to Hufflepuff, instead.
They were all biased, of course. But Bartolomeo had been right.
Ravenclaw it is.
Twisting the hem of her cloak, keeping her eyes to the floor, the girl sits down, next to older students engaging in a very interesting conversation on their summer vacation: they laugh, and the way the girl giggles and flushes are telling that she has some sort of feelings for him. Cedrella tries not to look too much, unmoving, playing with her hands.
Cedrella wants to be left alone for tonight. A lot has happened today, and she's never been the type to easily catch up to things. Wishes to solely enjoy her meal and go rest in the Ravenclaw common room. She's not in the mood for conversation: she has a lot of preparation to do before going out of her way to think of making friends...────────────────────────────────────────────────
