The Gryffindor Table 2021-2022

An excited boy began to talk to Della ecstatically about her being muggle-born and their matching wand cores. And then he began to give her advice about making friends at Hogwarts. Della wanted to be nice, but the boy's enthusiasm was a little overwhelming. She was tired and hungry. "Um, thanks. I'll remember that." This was all she could manage. She gave him a small smile. He seemed to know a lot of people, so she didn't want to make a bad impression. The boy then moved on to other topics of conversation with his fellow Gryffindors.

Della turned to the first-year boy that the energetic boy had been talking to and a new arrival who just sat down. They must be having similar feelings to what she was going through. She had met a girl at Flourish and Blotts, and had made a friend on the train. But so far, neither of them had been sorted in Gryffindor. They didn't seem like Gryffindors—but Della thought she didn't seem like a Gryffindor either. She would at least try to make some friends in her own house.

Looking at both the blond boy and the brown-haired girl, she introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Della."

Azalea set the hat back down on the stool, feeling her heart flutter madly in her chest. Her mother would be proud, but grandma was going to be upset, for sure. She was glad that she was far from home so she didn't have to hear what she knew was going to be an argument between her grandma and her mom. It was still a surprise though, to her at least. She'd been expecting Ravenclaw, like her father. That she was in Gryffindor, like her fiery mother, was an upset.

She forced herself not to run from the stool once she felt the pressure of all the eyes in the hall, and heard the tumultuous cheering and clapping at her Sorting. Walking down the tables towards the last one, the one that was cheering hardest, some folks even standing to watch the Sorting and greet their new house mates, Azalea felt a smile slip it's way onto her face. Even if it wasn't Ravenclaw, it wasn't as if she was particularly attached to any house. The sorting hat knew best, after all. She would have to trust it.

That didn't mean she particularly felt like speaking with a bunch of strangers. Sitting down, she shied away from the older students who leaned in to greet her. Humming in response, she gestured back to the Sorting as if to say 'there are still more students to watch, so stop paying attention to me'. The Great Hall was too overwhelming in that moment. She pulled her feet onto the bench and wrapped her arms around her knees, pulling her shoes off and letting them bounce onto the floor. Now that her toes were free she began to feel slightly better. Snippets of conversation infiltrated her awareness, and she turned to listen silently, shamelessly eavesdropping with no intention of joining in.

Youssuf Baid took off the Sorting Hat with shaking hands and walked to the red table. Really red. He sat down, and started immediately munching on a sandwich. A slightly loud conversation interrupted his blissful satisfaction of chicken and cheese. He listened closely to the conversation, eavesdropping expertly. He loved seeing people form new friendships. Then again, it wasn't really a conversation, more of a monologue. A chap called Noah was trying (pretty hard) to be friends with a girl, and she looked really tired, too. But Youssuf didn't speak. He was extroverted, but he knew when to speak and when not to. Then, to his utter astonishment, the shy girl started talking too!
He took it as a cue of sorts and introduced himself, looking at the group -
Hi, I'm Youssuf, Youssuf Baid. Nice to meet you.
The people introduced themselves too, as Noah, Tristan, Della and Emmeline respectively.

Then he lost track of the conversation for a few seconds, as he stared with his mouth open at a nervous-looking girl a few chairs down. She'd taken off her shoes! And she was sitting with both feet on the bench. He happily slid his own feet out of his shoes and sat with his legs crossed on the bench. Slowly the talking around him ceased as everyone turned to look at him.
He said indignantly -
What?! I can't be comfortable?
Everyone laughed and the tension broke like thin ice.

He had made his way over to the Gryffindor table deciding he would come over to try to say hi to the Gryffindors. "Hi I'm Clifford but you can call me Cliff, I just thought I would come over and say hi and try to make friends with some of you. I am a Hufflepuff thought not sure if I am allowed to come over here." He wasn't sure but he was ready to face the consequences of it if he had to. He was just trying to be friendly.

He looks at them waiting to be acknowledged. Smiling at them in a friendly way but he was nervous though not as nervous as if they were Slytherins. But they were still intimidating to him still he tries to stay calm and not show it that he was intimidated. He looks around the table at all the students there well the ones nearest to him. Knowing he should probably get to the Hufflepuff table soon but he wants to meet some students from this house.

He looks over towards the Hufflepuff table for a moment before looking back at them seeing if they were noticing him yet. Though none had talked to him yet he didn't mind it he was just being really happy right now. Happy to try to talk to these people mostly wanting to make a good impression on his classmates.

Kim walked over to the Gryffindor Table and took a seat nearest to the stage. He wanted to get a good look at the rest of the First Years as they were sorted into their Houses. Even though he didn't tend to speak much, unless he had something to say, he did like to pay attention to everyone else. Listening was actually better than talking because you learned so much more.

As he got settled in his seat, Kim looked up at the ceiling and around him, taking in all the sights. From what he recalled, Hogwarts was an insanely huge place and students, especially First Years, tended to get lost on a regular basis. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen to him more than a few times. He couldn't wait to get started with his classes and learn some skills from the teachers.

That was what he was there for.

He wanted to learn as fast as possible, so he could hopefully make use of his skills.

As the ceremony continued, Kim watched and listened as the rest of the First Years were sorted into their Houses. When it was over, the Headmaster made food appear all over the tables with a wave of his hand and Kim reached out and started to take a little of every piece nearest to him. One of the joys in life was food, when it was offered to you for free, it was best to fully enjoy it.

"Hmm," the hat let out, the eleven-year-old sat on the stool - excited for what was in store for them. "You'd do well in both Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, you know." Mouse wasn't all that surprised - their mother Aiofe and the twins were both Hufflepuff Alumni and their mother Davina, Uncle Conor, and their elder brother Liam were all Gryffindors. Mouse wondered what house the hat would choose for them. "Ahh... there is what I needed," the hat said - maybe it was something the hat found, or maybe it was a thought that Mouse had, however, the hat spoke loudly for all to hear.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The small student grinned from ear to ear hearing what they secretly wanted to hear all along. Ciaran A. Mouser was now a Gryffindor student - Mouse had a little bit of bravery in them after all. They slipped from the stool over to the table and made a seat. They watched quietly as the Gryffindor table filled more and more. Mouse liked the way people cheered - no matter the house.

The twins had always fed Mouse stories about how Gryffindors booed when someone didn't get their table. Thankfully Liam was proven to be right - the twins only wanted to scare Mouse. Probably not out of harm though.

Mouse took a breath once the sorting was done, the food appearing in front of them finally. mouse hadn't realized how hungry they were until they noticed the banquet awaiting them. With excitement, Mouse filled their plate before settling down to munch on a roll - just listening to everyone around them talk.

They didn't talk until they noticed that they weren't the only ones not talking. They cleared their throat and gave a small smile to Kim - trying to place a face with a name. "Hi, you are Kim, right? I'm Ciaran Mouser, my friends call me Mouse."

Ciaran "Mouse" Mouser (they/them).

Kim noticed when the newly sorted Hufflepuff came over to the Gryffindor table. But he didn't acknowledge him yet because literally there was nothing much to say to him. And Kim wasn't really the type of person to create small talk, as he felt it was useless. Clifford wasn't even near him too. But if he came over to where Kim was and tried to talk to him, he might respond back to him if he was in a good mood. As of now, all he wanted to do was eat the food.

He was in the midst of chewing when someone to his right spoke and introduced themselves to him. Kim turned his head to let his eyes flicker over the smaller student. He didn't respond right off the bat because his mouth was full. But when it was empty, he nodded. "You got it." He said, confirming who he was to Mouse. The white haired boy vaguely remembered Mouse's name from the Sorting Ceremony and let his gaze linger on him for a moment or two.

What did he want?

Kim knew everyone always had an agenda. Even if they didn't admit it.

He glanced back over at the Hufflepuff who was still standing near the Gryffindor table, looking quite nervous. For that matter, what was THAT boy doing too? Either he should take a seat or get lost. Don't just stand there and do and say nothing, that kind of behavior would be viewed as odd. Still, it wasn't his business and Clifford wasn't his friend, so whatever. Kim shook his head and started to eat again. He had to admit, the food was actually very delicious.

Some of the food choices were out of reach of some of the students due to the length of their arms. But Kim was able to reach everything, so he would have no trouble at all.

A small grin flitted upon their lips as the sound of their new house being called out filled the great hall. They knew they would either be placed in Slytherin or in Gryffindor which is their new house. It filled them with a sense of joy as their sapphire blue eyes settled onto the table of their new housemates who would soon be their new family. Hopefully their mother would be happy that they are in the same house as their elder brother had been placed in. Though that probably would not be the case as Catalina wanted her youngest child to be upon the intelligent minds of Ravenclaw as their sister had been a year prior.

Getting up off the stool, they headed straight towards the table full of the students who they would be with for the next couple of years. Finding an unoccupied spot next to a boy sitting near the stage. They were on their left not blocking the view of the new first years who were getting sorted. Slim digits brushed blight blue hair out of their face before they grabbed some food that was withing reach and placed it upon the plate. Not wanting to be rude, Keres turned slightly towards the boy and smiled. "I hope you don't mind me sitting next to you, I'm Keres by the way."

As of right now Kim was ignoring Clifford and it looked as if everyone else was too. Probably because the Hufflepuff was literally doing nothing and still acting somewhat awkward around the table. Mouse had gone back to munching on his roll after having spoken to him, which had allowed Kim to thankfully eat in peace. At least until a new voice popped up beside him. He looked down at the shorter boy there and took in his features. The boy had two hairstyles.

Part of it was buzzed and the other part swept over his face in a rather wavy manner. The latter was dyed blue. Ah, nice, one of his favorite colors. He had the same color eyes as him too, although his were a different shade. All this had only taken Kim a few seconds. After chewing and swallowing the food that had been in his mouth, he shook his head at the newcomer. "Sit where you like. It's the Gryffindor table after all." He shrugged a bit.

It wasn't as if he could go sit elsewhere.

As for sitting down next to him, why not? There had been an empty seat there.

Putting more food into his mouth, he relished the flavors and then looked back at Keres again. It was only then that he realized he hadn't given his own name. "Ah, must have slipped my mind. I'm Kim." He told him but didn't extend his hand because he didn't deem it necessary, as they were currently eating at the table. A nice person would have offered to help get Keres some out of reach food but Kim wasn't that type of person and kept eating.

I'm only assuming Clifford and Mouse's actions from the last post they wrote.

Amethyst walked over to the Gryffindor table. She had been hoping for either Slytherin or Hufflepuff. Slytherin because her sister Amber is in it and Hufflepuff because they usually have a Slytherin buddy meaning she would see her sister more often. It was clear she wasn't used to being away from her siblings. She sat down a little bit away from the others. She wasn't good at making friends and she didn't want to make a fool of herself. She rubbed her stomach in pain. She was hungry and was hoping the sorting would hurry up. She looked over at the Slytherin table. She noticed some of them were glaring at her. Most of her family had been in Slytherin or Ravenclaw.

Amber glared at the Slytherin. "Stop it. That is my baby sister. If I find out any of you guys hurt her I will hex you guys and get my other siblings." They had looked away at that. The Morningstar siblings have made a name for themselves for being ruthless if someone made fun of or hurt their family. They were also very cunning and smart no matter the house.

Amethyst relaxed slightly once they looked away. She looked at the table and noticed the food. She realized the sorting was over. She grabbed a steak and started eating it.
