Welcome to Hogwarts

Charlotte zoned out as the teacher lectured them on behavior.

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 5:23 PM

To everyone:

I have to go now. I'll probably be back in five hours.

cqpkytty • 12 June 2012 at 5:24 PM

@graceseggs
Aww ☹️

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:16 PM

Grace sighed in relief when the lecture was finally over. She whispered to Alex and Sirius,"Any ideas for tomorrow morning? I want to have some early fun." She smiled at the thought of many people falling victim to a great prank."

Alex and Sirius smiled and said, "Should the person we prank be a student or a teacher?"

Clay, just after class, is called to meet Professor Dumbledor. "Oh great," Clay thinks, "already in trouble." When he arrives in Dumbledore's office, he dicovers that he is already one of the top students. "So I am already going to be considered a nerd." Clay thinks.

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:21 PM

"Students, definitley," Grace murmured out of the corner of her mouth. The teacher passed by them to get into the Great Hall. "The teachers would be less mad if they weren't the 'victims.'" She thought for a moment of her brothers. "Start small and stay hidden. Earn the teacher's trust, and if you can manage it, popularity of the students. The last few days of your seventh year, go all out on the teachers. Say Revelio and show your true colors." She grinned widely. "That's what my brothers told me and did themselves," Grace explained.

@clayosaurusrex
1. I will be playing the professors and will be using original names/characters.
2. One of my rules states that there are no perfect characters. Your character has never practiced magic since he is a Muggle-born.
3. There were no tests to get into Hogwarts. How could they know that he was already a top student?

hedwig68 • 12 June 2012 at 10:24 PM

Alex and Sirius nodded and said, "Our brother said something like that, he just graduated last year. Now what do we want to use: stink, fire, or something else?" They gave devious smiles.

@graceseggs

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:27 PM

Grace rubbed her forehead in thought. "I said start small. We can use fire next week. Gosh. Didn't I just tell you to start small?" she joked. "Yeah, Dungbombs should suffice. Tomorrow morning, just chuck 'em in the Great Hall and stay hidden." She pulled out her spell book for her robes and thumbed through it.

@hedwig68

hedwig68 • 12 June 2012 at 10:29 PM

Alex and Sirius nodded, "Fine but fire is fun." They have smiles and carefully pulled a bag out of their suitcase. It was full of Dungbombs.

@graceseggs

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:34 PM

"Tomorrow!" Grace insisted. "You should've left it on the train to get sent to your new common room! Yeah, I love taking risks as much as you, I particularly love the adrenaline rush, but sometimes you need to stuff some secrets under your bed." She sighed. "So, what House are you hoping for?"

@hedwig68

hedwig68 • 12 June 2012 at 10:37 PM

Alex and Sirius hid away the Dungbombs and said, "Well our parents were both Slytherins and they want us to be Slytherins. We want to be in Gryffindor though."

@graceseggs

cqpkytty • 12 June 2012 at 10:39 PM

Charlotte rolled her eyes. "Fine, you guys prank some students while *I* climb the big crazy tree." She grinned.

@hedwig68
@graceseggs

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:40 PM

Grace nodded. "I want to be a Gryffindor, too," she agreed. "Do you want to be one to annoy your parents or to be in a good house?" she curiously asked. Grace folded the corner of a page of a particular spell that interested her. 'Could be useful,' she muttered.

@hedwig68
@cqpkytty

hedwig68 • 12 June 2012 at 10:45 PM

Alex smiled, "Because it is a great house. Annoying our parents is a bonus," she said.

Sirius nodded at Charlotte.

@cqpkytty

graceseggs • 12 June 2012 at 10:48 PM

"Well reasoned," Grace said to Alex. She rolled her eyes at Charlotte. "Patience child. Next week. I need time to settle in, do homework and get in the rythm of things, stock up on supplies, study useful spells, plan ahead on some pranks, get prepared for setbacks-" She drew in a deep breath of air. "In short, we're doing it next week," she commanded.

@cqpkytty
@hedwig68

I'm typing so much. >_<

hedwig68 • 12 June 2012 at 10:52 PM

@graceseggs XD
@cqpkytty

Alex and Sirius nodded, "Yeah we will get to the tree, don't worry."

cqpkytty • 12 June 2012 at 11:13 PM

"Well, YOU may be, but I'll be doing it tonight." She grinned. "Oh, and I am SO being in Gryffindor. Where else would a daredevil like me go?"

Hazel trudged on through the halls

cqpkytty • 12 June 2012 at 11:20 PM

@rileytibbles_side
We haven't even learned our houses yet, where is Hazel going? Everyone else is waiting to go into the Great Hall. 😋

hay7199 • 12 June 2012 at 11:48 PM

Brain watched the teachers say things under there breath as they were staring at all the other first years. He wondered why it was taking so long to start the sorting.

snowrosehell • 13 June 2012 at 9:06 AM

@graceseggs
@cqpkytty and to all

Sorry. But, I think, I can't do an RP for quite awhile... maybe on breaktime. Classes just started for me and there are soo manyyy exams lining up my schedule aside from finals and preliminary exams which is the monthly exam in class! -__-"

cqpkytty • 13 June 2012 at 11:20 AM

@graceseggs
When are we going to start the Sorting?

rileytibbles_side • 13 June 2012 at 12:03 PM

@cqpkytty
She was walking to the great hall

cqpkytty • 13 June 2012 at 12:12 PM

@rileytibbles_side
Right now, all the first-years are standing around, waiting for the teachers to lead them in 😋

skylark • 13 June 2012 at 12:35 PM

Sortin' time! |D
@cqpkytty @graceseggs @hedwig68 @rileytibbles_side @clayosaurusrex

The first-years entered the Great Hall, and a tall lady stood at the end of it, with a worn-out hat on a small three-legged stool beside her. The stained-glass windows behind her shone brightly as the sun broken through the clouds for the first time today. When the first-years finally clustered in front of it, the hall became quiet. For a few seconds, there was complete silence. A rip near the brim opened wide like a mouth - and the hat began to sing, its voice booming.

"Oh you may not think me pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

When the hat finished its song, the hall broke out in applause and cheering. It bowed to each of the four tables and became quite still again.

The old lady now stepped forward holding a long roll of parchment. "When I call your name, you will put on the hat and sit on the stool to be sorted. Brian Arese!" she called. ( @hay7199 )

cqpkytty • 13 June 2012 at 12:42 PM

@skylark
Um...
Dumbledore doesn't exist here 😋
@graceseggs said she would make up new teachers. 😋

skylark • 13 June 2012 at 12:45 PM

@cqpkytty- Whoops, sorry! edited 😋
