"Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."

The Great Hall is a large room with four long tables where students of each House sit during the day and at mealtimes. A majestic enchanted ceiling that mirrors the outside weather is watching over people in the room.

The table you sit at now is a table that has sat through many centuries; its wood is as old as the castle it sits inside. Brilliant witches and wizards sat in the same seat you have, and it's no surprise if you were to follow suit. You've been sorted into a noble house, one that has ushered forth pioneers, scholars, and new age thinkers of the wizarding world.

Creative, clever, sharp, and wise minds sit among you - the future is bright, and so is yours. The students at this table fly the bronze and blue crest and an eagle that has always symbolized the truthful principles of Rowena Ravenclaw. We are excited to have you here, whoever you might be, and whoever you may be, it begins here - amongst your own. Whether you are new or old, eat well, talk with one another, and may you always find a friend on this table.

Mei sat quietly watching as the new first year were sorted into their houses. Clapping for the new additions to Ravenclaw. She was a Ravenclaw after all. She looked along the table trying to see if there was anyone she remembered. Sadly she couldn't crane her neck out far enough and almost fell attempting to do so.

Unfortunately she did fall. She quickly stood up and dusted herself off and hurriedly sat back down in her seat . A few of her fellow peers looked at her strange while others laughed, smirked, or whispered to their friends. She attempted to laugh it off herself while rubbing her elbow.

It's my first year back and I'm already screwing things up...at least for myself. Mei said to herself as she blew a few strands of hair out of her face. Mei looked at the food lining the table and realized how hungry she actually was. Then she looked back up. There's still so many first years to be sorted. she groaned to herself. There was in fact not many more. Only a few more.

However due to the Sorting hat having to take its time, Mei would also have to remain patient. Which she was not very good a doing. She looked around for something to do. Although she could not find anything to mess with she decided to pretend she was in a band and use the table as a drum. Horrible idea. A few fellow Ravenclaws sitting next to her yelled at her in hushed voices as she had already drawn attention to herself from almost half the table.

The three Ravenclaw students stood up and walked to the other end of the table. "Sorry!" she attempted to whisper shout to them but they ignored her. Mei's face had turned a bright pink. Eventually Mei gave up and just watched the first years be sorted.

The Ravenclaw Table 2021-2022
Seren walked up to the Ravenclaw table, a bright, if tremulous, smile on her face. She examined the seats still available (being a Y really had far too many disadvantages, honestly, when it came to anything where they decided to use alphabetical order) and finally moved to sit, shyly, next to a student who looked to be a bit older than her. She settled down, carefully, going out of her way to not disturb the bench too much, not wanting to irritate anyone so very soon in her introduction to her new House.

She licked her lips, for a moment, her posture perhaps a bit stiff, her back very straight, as if she wanted to both take as little space as possible and not draw too much attention to herself.

She was feeling incredibly out of her depths, seeing more people together than she had ever seen in her life... Indeed, she was seeing more people her own age than she had ever seen before today. Part of her was panicky and nervous, suddenly, which was overwhelming the excited, hopeful emotions she had been feeling all of the day to this point. Her feeling of being free of things suddenly flipped, and now she felt weighted down, trapped by the knowledge that she had no friends before, and had no idea how to make them. She had no real idea of how to talk to people outside of her family, though the portraits at home had tried to help her there... They were just so outdate, their conversational modes didn't sound anything like what she heard here.

She took a slow, deep breath, controlling herself before she gave into the urge to panic and tremble... Though her eyes turned a washed out, nervous brown-grey for a moment, before flickering back to their normal blue... And turned her head to the young lady she had sat beside. "Huh... Hello. I'm Seren Yong. It's nice to meet you."

As Mei continued to watch the first years be sorted (which was starting to get rather boring. She was hungry and ready to eat.) a girl with dark hair caught her eye. The girl walked up to be sorted. Tough. I bet it sucks to have your last name to start with a Y. Mei thought to herself, Soon enough the Sorting Hat announced her as Ravenclaw and she stood up and began to walk over to the Ravenclaw table. She had very bright smile on her face as she looked over the table to see if any seats were still open.

The brand new Ravenclaw sat down next to Mei looking rather shy. Mei looked over to the girl. She was sitting with very straight posture. She actually looked rather stiff and almost as if she had become a statue. The new Ravenclaw looked almost panicky and nervous. The girl looked over at Mei.

"Huh... Hello. I'm Seren Young. It's nice to meet you." Mei smiled at the girl and held her hand out. Hullo there! I'm Mei Hagikura. It's nice to meet you as well Seren. I'm a second year here at Hogwarts. How do you feel to be a Ravenclaw? Mei remembered her first year at Hogwarts. She cried as soon as she sat down. Well I've changed since then and nothing is going to make me revert back to my old ways. Mei thought to herself before looking back to Seren.

The Ravenclaw Table 2021-2022
Now that Tyzon was among one of the sorted students, he now had permission to sit down at the corresponding table he had been sorted into, which was Ravenclaw. This was exciting to him, as his father was also a Ravenclaw, yet his mother was a Hufflepuff, so he was glad he was able to have gotten one of those two houses, it would be something nice to write home about later in the year. After he had been sorted into his house, Tyzon then made his way over to the Ravenclaw table with his DADA book held tight in hand. He then looked over the table a little bit, with a big smile on his face as he noticed students from all the other Years, as well as ones just sorted already mingling with one another, which was a good sign.

Tyzon walked down the side of the table a bit, until he had reached an open seat, and he sat down. He wondered what was going to be next after the sorting had finished, as he was starting to get a little bit hungry. He sat there patiently as he watched as more and more students were getting sorted into houses, until every one of the 1st Years had been sorted now, and just needed to find seats at this point at their respective tables.

"Ravenclaw!" Shouted the Sorting Hat over her head.
A big smile came over her face! Ravenclaw!! The house she wanted to be in! The house her mother was sorted into years ago! It was meant to be.
Jade's body began to shake with excitement! She looked over at the Professor's table, and gave eye contact with Professor Iwasaki before heading to the other Ravenclaws. She sat down, looking at each of their faces. The new ones who were just sorted as well as older Ravenclaws. She looked over at the other tables:

Gryffindor's table looked just as inviting to their new recruits. To Jade, she saw them as future King and Queens. It was something about that Gryffindor feeling.

Hufflepuff seemed just as nice. It wouldn't have been a big deal if she were sorted with them.

But Slytherin?... Hmmm... Some of them did seem you could have an intellectual chat with.... But other's had a cold presents. Of course, maybe it was just her. She's heard some stories about Slytherin through mum. Nonetheless... Here she is! A Ravenclaw.
Jade smiled at the Ravenclaw table.

"Hi, Im Jade Noir...." She was shy, excited, timid, but a good feeling all around.

- Le château est magnifique, n'est-ce pas? The castle is beautiful, isn't it?
- Tu sais que les autres ne peuvent pas comprendre? On est en Écosse. You know the others can't understand? This is Scotland.
Of course Lin knows that nobody can understand. Except those who have learned to speak French. The twins' mother is French so they speak French quite fluently. Lin smiles and looks around. The Great Hall is beautiful. The distribution ends with loud applause.
When the dishes magically fill up with food, Sophie seems hooked. But Lin thinks this must be normal in the wizarding world. As everyone helps themselves, the girls also help themselves to several dishes (without meat for Sophie who is a vegetarian). So far, everything is great: they are in the same house, the food is great, the people seem nice...
- Je sens que ça va être chouette ici. I think it's going to be great here.
- Lin, on est en Écosse, parle englais! Lin, we're in Scotland, speak English!
- I know we're in Scotland, Sophie. But if I want to speak French, I speak French.
Sophie shakes her head and Lin looks at the Ravenclaw surrounding them. A redheaded girl in front of them looks at them. She looks like a second year. With a smile on her face, she seems to have understood their conversation. When she notices that Lin sees her, she smiles frankly.

[font=book antique]It was the first of September. You were starting your second year with the firm intention of being more active. The goal you want to achieve: to be a Duelist. But you are sure that it is in the bag. You will probably register tomorrow. Another point is to help the new students. Especially the Ravenclaw. If it happens, there is a future little Ravenclaw completely lost who is waiting for your help... You'll see!
The carioles dropped off the students from the second grade on. The younger students had to go to the castle by boat. The view is beautiful and if they are lucky, they will see the giant squid. Even if it scared you a bit, it was still interesting... "Herman". You smile at the memory of your birthday that didn't start so well.
You straighten up as you see the newcomers enter the room. Since you are sitting at the very end of the table, you have a front row view. And you hope that the students are less noisy here because the teachers are right next to your table. When the distribution begins, you clap and smile at the students who are joining your house. They are all so cute. You are only one year older but you still think they are small. Especially the two girls who just sat down in front of you. Twins. And apparently they speak French.
- I know we're in Scotland, Sophie. But if I want to speak French, I speak French.
- Et tu as parfaitement le droit de parler français si tu ne veux pas que la majorité des autres comprennent. And you have every right to speak French if you don't want the majority of others to understand.
Your accent is still pretty British but you're sure what you said is right. You smile as you detail the twins. Brown hair, brown eyes... Pretty basic, especially compared to your thick red hair. But they have a special touch. Something special.
- Oh, et j'm'appelle Lily Cooper. Et vous? - Oh, and I'm Lily Cooper. And you are?

- Et tu as parfaitement le droit de parler français si tu ne veux pas que la majorité des autres comprennent. Oh, et j'm'appelle Lily Cooper. Et vous? And you have every right to speak French if you don't want the majority of others to understand. Oh, and I'm Lily Cooper. And you are?
- Tu vois Sophie! Franchement, je suis sûr qu'il y a des gens ils parlent Allemand à Poudlard. You see Sophie! Honestly, I'm sure there are people who speak German at Hogwarts.
Lin didn't mind at all that the redhead, Lily, spoke to them in French. It all seemed normal. After all, when her parents separated, Charlotte Lafontaine-Springers refused to speak English for several days. Since then, it was French at home, English at school and with friends. So it didn't bother Lin that Lily spoke French. The new Ravenclaw was about to introduce herself when Sophie asked the question.
- Tu es française Lily? Are you French Lily?
Now that her sister said it... Was Lily French? Lily's accent was still very English... The noise in the Great Hall began to increase and annoy Lin. Since she has an excellent auditory memory, she is sensitive with her ears. And the loud noise in the room was bothering her. As she got a little annoyed, her hair took on a darker hue.
- Au fait, enchantée Lily. Nous c'est Lin et Sophie Evanvleck. By the way, nice to meet you Lily. We are Lin and Sophie Evanvleck.
But why are people screaming? By the way, no one is shouting, but hundreds of people talking quietly in a room like this one, it's loud. Some of Lin's hair took on a dark red hue that no one could miss. And finally, are the girls speaking in French? The conversation could continue in English. It would probably be more convenient for Lily.

RAVENCLAW!" The sorting hat shouted. A small applause was heard. It was a polite, "glad you found your house" clap that everyone had received. Scanning the room quickly, Eliza's eyes landed on a table with a blue and gold banner above it. She knew immediately it was the Ravenclaw table and headed towards it. As she walked, Eliza tucked a stray piece of light brown hair that had escaped her braid, behind her ear. As she approached the table, Eliza heard a several different conversations, even some in different languages. She heard a conversation in French, but since she didn't understand French she chose not to join in. But that was no problem for her. Eliza had always been shy and quiet. She preferred sitting alone reading and listening to music in her room as opposed to playing outside. So Eliza was perfectly fine to sit down at the end of a bench by herself and start eat the delicious food in front of her. The environment in the Great Hall was very different than the environment when she was eating at home. There was a lot more going on and more food. Eliza shook off the thoughts and continued to eat, curious about the people at her table.
