Fiona didn't want to bother anyone. She tried to keep from being a burden with everything she did, so when she had accidentally brushed against her housemate, she immediately apologized. She wasn't one to try and cause any conflict, and sure, she had just brushed against him, but what if he had been annoyed by it? Fiona didn't want to annoy anyone and she tried her best not to. Fiona sighed a little as he said that she hadn't bothered him, relaxing a little as she accepted that she hadn't messed up. Fiona didn't know why she was always so anxious about things like this. She was an only child, as far as she knew, and her mum wasn't scary or anything, but Fiona was naturally timid. She hated being as shy as she was, but she was trying to push out of her shell a little more, especially now that she was starting a new school. She wanted to be known as friendly and helpful, but also intelligent and willing to learn.
Fiona flushed softly as Damion said that her name was a pretty name. "Thanks... Most people make jokes about it," she admitted with a sigh. She shook his hand nervously and then smiled as he said that she should just wait until she saw the common room. "Is it really that amazing?" she asked, a little surprised. "I can't wait to see it," she added. Fiona looked a little surprised at how much she was speaking, but she had always been more comfortable talking to people after they talked to her some. It was starting the conversation that was intimidating. "I'm from Dublin, Ireland," she answered. "Born and raised. Just me and my mum," she added. Fiona was always a little lonely growing up since she had no siblings and her mum was always working.

The Ravenclaw Table 2022-2023
Charlotte didn't know how to react when she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Up until about a year ago, she had known nothing about the wizarding world. Then her mother told her everything about when she first used her magic. Her mother had been a Slytherin, but Charlotte didn't know that much about the houses of Hogwarts. Even though she had learned she was a witch, she had to keep it a secret from everyone. Her father, her twin brother and sister, and even her best friends. Because of this, she couldn't do that much research on Hogwarts. She slid into an empty chair at the Ravenclaw table, glancing around at all the people. She bit her lip, a bit nervous. How was she going to do in this school? Would she make friends? At the thought of friends, her heart ached. She missed her two best friends back at her old school. Though now, one of them hated her, and the other would probably move on, and wouldn't remember her at the end of the school year. She sighed, glancing around again. How long was this going to take? How long would it be until she could just hid in her dorm?

Erin walked over to the long, Ravenclaw table with a large grin on her face. "Hopefully I can make some new friends while I am here!" Erin thought to herself as she sat down next to some students toward the middle of the table. The Sorting Ceremony was still ongoing, so Erin sat quietly, following the older student's queues on when to talk and cheer and clap. Eventually, the Sorting Ceremony ceased and in a flash food flooded the table in front of Erin.
Erin watched wide-eyed and with her mouth slightly ajar as food seemed to materialize on the table as if out of thin air. Sure, Erin had watched her mother and father and Grandmother cook plenty of times using magic, but never had they just materialized food out of thin air! "What a curious thing," Erin thought to herself. "Surely there has to be an explanation on how this food gets here!" With a slight chuckle to herself, Erin had set her first mission in sight: To find out how the food before her materialized! "I should have some time between classes tomorrow," thought Erin "Maybe I can do some sleuthing and find some information!"
With a solid nod, Erin decided that was just what she'd do the first chance she got tomorrow—right after sending an owl to her Momma and Dad of course. Erin piled the delicious-smelling food onto her plate: Some chicken, some vegetables, and of course a load of mashed potatoes! "This is going to be quite the adventure," Erin thought to herself as she began to dig into her meal.

Damion watched as the new students got sorted into the houses. He was not particularly looking for anyone special there. He noticed a young boy sit nearby (Ashley) and smiled. He also noticed a couple of girls sitting nearby (Charlotte and Erin). It seemed that his house was becoming popular. He was hoping that it wouldn’t be rude that he didn’t strike up a conversation with them as he was already in one with Fiona. He took a bite of his food and after swallowing he turned to Fiona. He was just trying to be a friendly older Ravenclaw student to the new student. He wanted to make Fiona feel welcomed. He was hoping that she would feel welcomed. He moved his stray hair from his eyes over his ear. He loved how good his hair looked. Smiling he glanced at Fiona again. He was enjoying this time. He had just returned back from home. He loved going home but he also loved being at Hogwarts.
Damion looked at her and shook his head. "Oh no!" He said looking at her. "I am sorry that people do that. I would never do anything like that." he said looking at her. He was not going to make such jokes about anyone. He was not that mean. He would play pranks on people but he would never want to actually hurt someone by what he says. He was not a mean person. He was a good boy now wasn’t he? He shook her hand and then pulled away and smiled. "Yes it is really amazing." He said. "I was very surprised to see it." He added looking at her. He smiled as he told her where she was from. "I am from Gesford Wales." He said. "Oh!" he said softly when he heard her say that it just her and her mother. "I am the only kid in my family too." He said. "It was really boring when I was at home. I had some friends really good friends. We played during the day." he said a little excitedly.

Fiona felt a bit more at ease now that someone had been open to talking to her. She had felt a little bit out of place, though she knew that she belonged in Ravenclaw house. She was just so shy that she felt like no one noticed her much. Fiona looked at the older boy, a shy smile on her face. He was so friendly and it made Fiona feel a little more comfortable. She ate more of her food, still amazed at how wonderful the whole school was. There was magic everywhere, something that Fiona knew very little about and she was excited to spend time learning everything she could about this place. She always loved to learn new things, but this was even more exciting. She hadn't expected to see such wonderful things at this school. She couldn't help but look around as she ate, wanting to take everything in. She knew that she had years of school to get used to this place, but she was too excited to be patient about seeing everything.
Fiona shrugged a little as Damion said he was sorry that people made fun of her name. "I'm used to it," she said quietly. She wasn't really bullied otherwise, but she did get teased a little about her name anyway. Fiona hummed as he said that the common room was amazing. "I can't wait to see it," she said with a shy smile. She definitely was excited to see her new living quarters too. She had never lived in a dorm before. "I've heard Wales is pretty," she said with a smile. "It's a bit lonely being the only child... but my mum works long hours so I really had no one to spend time with..." she admitted. "A-And I'm shy... so i-it makes it hard to make friends," she added, looking down nervously. She didn't mean to be so shy or nervous all the time. She wanted to relax and just make friends.

The Ravenclaw Table 2022-2023
Jaden was almost out of breath as she took her seat at the Ravenclaw table.
The sorting was done for her, so she should have been glad, but she was still shaken from the experience. It was a very strange experience, having the hat squirming around in her head like that. She hadn't actually felt squirming, not at all, but the sensations of having one's mind examined like that and the voice of the hat filling the empty spaces in her head were almost too much.
She supposed it would be best to get used to such things, though. She was a witch now, so she needed to get used to the strange and the mysterious. If a bit of mind-wriggling, which she was now determined to call it, was the result of her new fate, then so be it. She had to accept that.
She glanced around at the other Ravenclaws, who seemed to be deep into conversations of their own. Oh, well. She shrugged and reached for a goblet of juice, sipping on it as she listened to the buzz of activity around her.
She wondered if her Mum had felt just as strange and out of place on her first night at Hogwarts. Had she felt the same loneliness on the way to the school? The same sense of unease when she was being sorted?
Perhaps she would write a letter and find out when she had time.
For now, she was content to drink her pumpkin juice.

Lizzi sighed as she sat down at the large Ravenclaw table. It was a sigh of many emotions. It contained exhaustion from the long day, disappointment from having no friends, but a little happiness from being sorted into Ravenclaw. Among other things, Lizzi was overjoyed at that. She was in the house with all the clever people! That must mean she was clever, right? Even if she didn't believe it sometimes. However, one thing troubled the girl's mind. The hat had said something about Gryffindor. Lizzi decided not to mention it to anyone. She was here, wasn't she? On the Ravenclaw table?
As she contemplated her dilemmas, Lizzi took in her overwhelming surroundings. There were hundreds of students, and teachers, filling the cavernous hall with raucous noise. Everywhere she looked there were people laughing, hugging friends they hadn't seen in months, and altogether having a great time. It was a jolly occasion. If only Lizzi had friends to enjoy it with.
Shaking her head slightly to rid herself of her unpleasant thoughts, Lizzi began to eat. She ate and ate away at piles of food, and drank pumpkin juice, and gulped down mountains of desserts. All whilst reading a good book.

─────Seven was glad to enter the Great Hall. The day had been tiring. Getting sorted into Ravenclaw had been... stressful and somewhat confusing, but at the same time, it had been a wonderful experience. Seven was glad to have gotten that letter inviting them to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It was so amazing. Though they did have about a million questions. Plus, it wasn't a great feeling to be away from home, far from their parents.
Seven glanced around the area, attempting to find the Ravenclaw table. It wasn't hard since everyone was wearing their house robes. Still, Seven was new to Hogwarts, and they didn't want to make a bad first impression.
They were slightly late to dinner, so there were barely any spots left for them to sit. It was surprisingly crowded, but they supposed that was what boarding school was like. However, Seven saw some room next to a girl with long brown hair and gray-blue eyes.
"Um, can I sit here?" After a pause, they added, "There isn't really any space anywhere else."
Seven looked at the ground awkwardly, unsure of what to say next. The only thing left to do was wait for a reply.

The Ravenclaw Table 2022-2023
Lizzi was silently sipping her pumpkin juice, thoroughly enjoying her book as it reached the climax, when a small voice apparently came out of nowhere and asked to sit next to Lizzi. This took Lizzi by surprise as no one ever chose to approach her. She stayed with her nose in a book or homework, and that was generally enough to ward of any potential incomers. It clearly didn't work today, though. Perhaps, Lizzi thought, it's a good thing to Ravenclaws! But having thought this, Lizzi promptly looked around at the table, and saw no one else reading whilst eating. Probably because everyone else was chatting and laughing and making friends. Maybe I should do that.
"Of course you can sit here!" Lizzi said aloud, to the fellow first year hovering behind Lizzi's back. "What's your name? I'm Lizzi!"
As Lizzi waited for a response, she put away her book, attempting to seem friendlier and more open to conversation. However, as she did so, she desperately wished it was back on the tabletop, open and waiting for Lizzi to read.
No! You've got to do this! If you shy away from every single conversation opportunity, you're never going to make any friends! Come on! She scolded herself, and internally pledged to keep up the conversation.

─────Seven gratefully sat down next to the girl, muttering a quick word of thanks. So far this person seemed nice. So far.
They shook off the feeling of nervousness and listened as the girl asked what Seven's name was before telling her own name. Lizzi. It was a good name. Beautiful yet simple. The name alone was so many wonderful things, but the most important part was that it wasn't a number. At least her parents / guardians had some sense.
Now, Seven had quickly learned never to introduce themself with, "I'm Seven" because it sounded like they were explaining their age. Yes, there was a certain technique to it.
"My name's Seven," they said, making sure to mumble so LIzzi couldn't quite tell how weird the name was, and then changing the topic. "What book was that?"
Lizzi had been reading a book when Seven first came up to her and asked if they could sit next to her. Seven wished she had continued to read the book after inviting them to a seat. Making friends could be awkward with lots of "um"s included in sentences. That, of course, didn't mean that the word "um" itself was awkward, but it often showed up in conversations like that.
