Layton suddenly looked towards the direction of a group of kids who had screamed out, not in pain, but what sounded like surprise. He wondered if someone had fallen in or something along those lines. Well, they were wet, for one, and Layton would've thought that that was what had happened if not for a figure looming in the dark, the figure of what he thought to be a mermaid. His eyes widened in surprise, and he desperately tugged at Devonte's sleeve, trying to get his attention. He could hear the aggravation in his twin's voice when he turned, but the aggravation turned to surprise when they both had witnessed the fabled mermaid. It was not something one had seen everyday, especially muggles.

As Selina was helping Grace onto the dock, she spotted a large tail fluke rise up from the lake, and the two of them were splashed with some cold water. It wasn't enough to be drenched, but just enough to be discomforted, and the fluke vanished beneath the stygian blackness a moment later.

"I think you're right," Selina replied, agreeing with Grace. "Maybe it's somebody's way of welcoming us."

HUFFLEPUFF HEAD OF HOUSE || DEPUTY HEADMISTRESS || HERBOLOGY PROFESSOR

Pandora rushed down to the Boathouse as soon as she could to meet this year's group of new students.

She looked over the first years and smiled. She remembered this day fondly, even though it was many years ago. "Hello," the professor said loudly to get the students to focus on her. "Welcome to Hogwarts. I am Deputy Headmistress Pandora Thorne. If you would all follow me I will lead you to the castle," she said as she headed off to the castle, occasionally glancing over her shoulder to make sure the newest students were behind her.

Valetnina stormed away from the Dueling Club to anywhere but near those people. Her anger wasn't good since the stupity of the head girl decided it was te way to piss Valentina off. She didnt know where she was going to end up she was hoping it was near the lake or the boathouse where she can actually have some peace to herself rather than anyone anonnying her unless if it was one of her friends which would be great. As she ran faster and faster she run into the outside of the Boathouse wall. "I guess I ran into the wall" She said rubbing her head

The ride over the lake was pretty amazing, at least to Sophie. Although she was terrified of getting in a somewhat small and rickety looking boat with more than one other person, she soon got over it as Hogwarts came into view. It really was a castle! The drawings in the books she had read just didn't compare to this. It glowed with candles and...maybe even magic? She'd been so into her experience, she didn't even try and talk to anyone. There was a lot of chattering around her though. It sounded like at least most of the other first years knew about the wizarding world before they had been accepted to Hogwarts. Then she spent the rest of the ride wondering how the boats were moving on their own as she hadn't seen anyone cast a sort of spell to make them move and there weren't any ropes pulling them across the lake or anything like that... The brunette girl was sure that she had seen a long tentacle come out of the water about three boats away, but hadn't gotten a good look at it. Finally they reached the other side of the lake and docked inside the boathouse, where the lady that had been escorting them asked them to make their way out of the boats and onto the dock and to not horse around while they waited to be taken into the 'Great Hall'. Sophie hurried to do just that, but her foot caught on the hem of her robe and she ended up tripping, skimming her knee and then falling on her face. "OW! Crud...." 'Great, couldn't go a whole day without tripping or looking like an idiot could we?' Sophie thought to herself as she rubbed her aching nose vigorously and inspected her knee to make sure she didn't rip her thigh high gray stockings.

spaceLorelei was silent as she exited the boat, carefully taking in her surroundings. The chatter of the other students was a lot to sort through, though she was catching bits and pieces of the conversations around her. Enough to get some idea of what a few of her classmates were like, anyway. It was important that she observe them, learn about them. She didn't want to find herself at a disadvantage, or caught off guard by their actions. The muggleborn had no way of knowing how many of the other children were like her, coming from a non-magical background, and how many had been raised in magical households, but she was willing to bet that most of them had at least one magical parent. Therefore, she was in uncharted waters in regards to how to interact with them. It would be best if she did a bit of people-watching before she tried to speak with anyone. Large, curious eyes followed the movement of her fellow first years. So far... well, they all seemed fairly normal. She'd heard a few words passed around that she didn't recognize, but other than that, her classmates seemed like any other group of eleven-year-olds. As if to illustrate that point, one of the other girls tripped. Lori considered that perhaps she should offer her assistance, but the girl righted herself easily enough, making it unnecessary. She stepped back, out of the way of her classmates. The entire process of arriving at the school seemed designed to be very ceremonial... this was on purpose, of course. Apparently it was a rather big deal, so of course they'd make a big fuss about it. She was mostly curious about the sorting ceremony she'd been told about; her half-brother, who had also attended Hogwarts, had been in Slytherin, apparently. She didn't know much about the man, being a full twenty years younger than him, so she had no idea what his placement meant. Apparently it had something to do with your personality? She didn't think she was very similar to Leslie, but perhaps he'd been more like her when he was younger? The man who'd taken her for her school supplies seemed to think she was suited for the house. She supposed that she would know soon enough, in any case.

╚════════════════════════════╝

Cordelia smiled at Indie when she referred to her as Cora, but laughed when Avian called her Cordell. That’s a new one, she thought. Among the many nicknames she’s been given in the past – such as Cory, Cordy, Delia – this had to have made the top oddest ones. “Mind if I call you Avi?” she asked, hoping the boy wouldn’t care. Although if he did, poking fun at him with that nickname every once in a while would sure be entertaining. At least it was always entertaining when her older sisters annoyed Dalton. Cordelia’s brother always reacted to the girls’ annoyance with clear exasperation; however, in spite of it all, the eleven year old knew he still loved them regardless of whether or not he denied it.

Cordelia shifted once more in her seat, crossing her legs to be able to sit openly with her friends. “You made a musical?” she asked Avian, eyebrows raising in astonishment. Either this kid had more going for him than she thought, or she completely misunderstood. The brunette turned her neck to face Indie. “Are you gonna try out for your house quidditch team?” she asked. All of Cordelia’s siblings tried out for their house quidditch teams; however, they all enjoyed it a lot more than she did. Well, except Dalton. He stopped trying out a couple years ago because he claimed that watching the sport was a lot more fun than playing.

Cordelia was about to answer the question when the professor announced that they were about to depart, which completely distracted the eleven year old from her thoughts. Excitement-filled eyes stared out towards the other end of the lake. The castle could be seen, but it was so far away. As the boats glided over the black water, the school enlarged slowly but surely. The trio stayed quiet until Indie had spotted a large, tentacled creature swimming right below the surface of the water. “Oh, my – that’s huge!” Was that the squid that Alex had told her to be careful about because it sometimes reaches into the boats of the firsties and eats one of them?! As fear struck the eleven year old, she gripped onto the side of the boat and shut her eyes. In all honesty, she hadn’t expected the Giant Squid to exist and had only thought her sister made it up to scare her, but there it was! Eyelids flung open after several minutes, when the boats finally docked, and Cordelia jumped out of that boat faster than she climbed into it.

The ebb and flow of the water as they sat in the boat was disquieting, and Isobel was happy to have arrived at the boathouse and to be able to leave the confines of the small boat. Its propelling itself forwards across the expanse of the lake had been doubly upsetting, made no less so by the size of it and the fact that it was naught but wood. She would have felt much safer had it been larger, and perhaps at least held the illusion of being sturdy. The young girl struggled with her emotions the whole of the ride across, trying to focus on the conversation had among her peers and finding herself quite unable to do so. She wanted to involve herself, but found that the words felt as though they stuck in her throat. She exited the craft with no small amount of relief, a great exhalation of air coming from her when her feet landed on the docks. She turned to her companions with a nervous expression. "It seems we have arrived unscathed," she informed them, quite happy about that fact. "Alice, you spoke of the houses? I do not know much about them. I attempted to convince my parents to purchase Hogwarts: A History, which I assume would have told me more, but they were quite insistent that we only purchase the books on my required reading list. I am curious as to what exactly they are. And as to the purpose they serve." Aster's assertion that Gryffindor was 'the bad*** house' was quite curious. 'Why should any of the houses be described that way? Is it merely a personal opinion?' she wondered. Perhaps she should have been more questioning when learning about the fact that she was a witch. She felt as though she had done nothing but ask questions, but it seemed that she should have asked still more. Though, she was quite certain that the other three girls would provide the answers she sought. Alice would, in any case. She was not certain whether or not either Aster or Pam would know any more than she did, in truth. 'Aster knows enough to believe Gryffindor to be bad***, so she must know something, at least.'

Avian gave a shrug at Cordell's suggestion of calling him 'Avi', "Sure you can, I called you Cordell after all". So far, only Gypsy and Nike get to call me nicknames like Av or Vian. Well, he did gave her a nickname, right? It wasn't wrong when she could return a favor. He blinked when she asked him if he made a musical, he was quite surprised at the question. "Uhm..." He replied, "No, I did not. I only play the piano at the manor and participate in the choir. But that's basically it," He hate to burst her bubble, but honesty's the best policy right?

He couldn't help it but giggle when Cordell got scared of the giant squid, and said, "Oh don't worry. I'm pretty sure the squid is just like all normal squids, maybe it only eats fishes. I mean, if the squid did ate students Hogwarts wouldn't be doing this boat-seeing, right?" He was going to give her a "what could possibly go wrong?" smile but unfortunately, her eyes were shut during the ride. He just shrugged and casually stepped out the boat like everything's fine.

Like pinpricks and electricity, excitement surged through Liam's body, raising small bumps down the spine of his back. Each of the boats gracefully approached the dock of the boathouse, where the woman leading their brigade instructed their ties to be secured around large wooden pillars. Following her orders, the boy stepped out of his boat once it was in place, his feet taking a moment to readjust to the feeling of solid ground...although analyzing the dilapidated structure around him, he silently questioned how solid the boathouse really was.

Patiently soaking in his surroundings, Liam pressed to the side of the dock and awaited the presence of whomever was to escort them to the castle.

So focused was he on the little glass trinket that by the time the boats had finally reached the docks, Dante was startled as the boat came to a stop with a light bump. Flinging his arms into the air, the boy looked around aimlessly. ”WE’RE SINKI--!” He exclaimed as he’d felt the boat list dangerously to the side as one of the students were getting off, stopping mid-sentence the minute he’d realized what he was doing. ”..Oh… heh… I uh... sorry...” Feeling his cheeks radiate as the embarrassment set in, the boy let out a nervous chuckle, hoping no one else had heard him, even though he could feel the piercing glare of his sister. Lowering his face in shame, Dante shifted forward, following the others out of the boat as they grouped up along the lakeside in preparation for entering into the castle.

Rolling her eyes at her brother’s display, Esmée climbed out of the boat without so much as a word to Dante. ’Perhaps if they don’t think I’m related to this buffoon…’ She thought, as a silent rage stirred within her. As she stepped out, Esmée hurried off to the rest of the students, walking as fast as her little legs could take her.
