The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
September 1st
Ravenclaw Table
"RAVENCLAW"
"Oh god. Oh no. No, no, no no nononono-"
That was all Jackson could think as he mechanically, almost like he was on auto-pilot, got up from the stool and made his way over to the Ravenclaw table, where he was offered a seat near some other first years. He tried to smile in thanks, but it probably came out more like a grimace. What were his parents going to think? What was his sister going to think?
As he contemplated just turning into jelly and seeping into the cracks between the stones of the floor, glaring down at his green bean-covered plate, he didn't notice a few odd stares he was getting from the Gryffindor table.
Eventually, Jackson looked up, hoping to find some pudding or other sweets to cheer him up. Instead, he caught sight of those Gryffindors staring at him, and he sunk back down into his seat, looking like he was ready to throw up. They were probably friends with his sister. They were probably going to tell his sister. Today couldn't have gotten any worse.
The incident on the train, and now the fact that he was going to be stuck in Ravenclaw for the rest of his years at Hogwarts..
Jackson sighed again, staring back down at his plate and shaking his head. Who was he kidding, Ravenclaw was the perfect place for him. He loved the idea of being able to use the knowledge, to learn from knowledge.
Of course, that didn't mean his parents did.

The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
Jonah Darden had never heard of a Hufflepuff or a Slytherin before too recently. He watched intently as the hat, whose mechanics he had not quite pinned down, sorted each and every student. To be selected for the House of Ravenclaw seemed important enough, and he quite liked the blue and black banners that rose above his head. Every kind of food he could ever hope to find was laid in front of him, as well as many he'd never really seen. His mum wasn't big on cooking, and his pa was hopeless at the task. 'Who cooks all of these dishes?', he wondered as he watched the students around him.
While his mind raced around, darting into a million pathways, he realized he had been staring at a young student nearby him. His cheeks flushed red and he instinctivelty covered his face with his hands. He had no idea how to make friends, but he was pretty sure it didn't start with something as rude as staring. Meekly, Jonah reached for a bread roll to put his attention on to, instead of his embarrassment and confusion. Normally his parents were here to guide him through the first day. Or at least they would have walked him to the door. Hogwarts wouldn't allow muggles on the platform, a rule they understood but Jonah, in his youth, was frustrated with. His mind continued to wander as he slowly forgot his former embarrassment.

The Ravenclaw Table 2020 -2021
"Ah," began the Sorting Hat "Your clever no doubt you are very patient, you can be cunning and most of all your brave. But where shall I put you you'd be great in each house."
"Ravenclaw." thought Selina suddenly. It was true Ravenclaw was the house that suited her most.
Your more suited to Ravenclaw, eh?" said the Hat "Well if your sure. RAVENCLAW!! the hat shouted as the hat was lifted of Selina's head.
Selina skipped to join the Ravenclaw table she sat in between 2 boys.
Selina was terrified of what house she would be placed in but was relieved when she was placed in Ravenclaw.
The Sorting Hat must have seen the smartness when the hat was place on her head. Selina was planning on sending an owl to her parents straight after she was sorted but decided to meet a few people in Ravenclaw House.
She wanted to make lots of friends some in Ravenclaw, some in Hufflepuff, some in Slytherin, and some in Gryffindor. She respected each house and each blood status, she was Pure-blood herself but still respected other's blood status.
As the delicious food appeared she began piling a lot of food onto her plate but left food for other people as she didn't want to be greedy.

"Hmm..." MacKinsey heard the Sorting Hat say. She glanced around nervously but keeping her head held high. "Very strange, very strange indeed...." She furrowed her eyebrows. "Make up your mind already!" She muttered. The hat tutted. "Very impatient. A good deal of courage and cunning-ness, but oh. Oh no, you would not make a good Slytherin. Not at all. Not an ounce of pride runs in your veins." She took a deep breath through her nose, willing herself to not lash out. "Not Hufflepuff either. You would make a good Ravenclaw though...oh yes! Quite a strong mind, not a quitter, quite wise I might add." She sighed. "Ravenclaw is a house for losers." She muttered. The hat sighed. "Well, then it must be," it paused for a second before yelling out, "RAVENCLAW!" She let out an angry growl and stood up. She took the Sorting Hat off of her head and put it down on the stool. With a sigh, she walked off (quite angrily) to the Ravenclaw table. She sat down on the end of the bench and put her head on the palm of her right hand. "I miss being a muggle." She muttered and sighed again. "This will be a LONG 7 years..."
