Ronyo Storm - Unsorted
First Year

The smell of smoke from a coal burn drifted into his button nose, the sounds of thousand upon thousands of excited kids both fresh and experienced echoed in his slightly long ears, and the sight of it all was almost more than a boy raised in nature could take being received by his emerald green eyes. It was not a great shock to him really, for he had been with his mother to Diagon Alley a few times before he even received his letter. Still the unparalleled sensory overload was something Ronyo was trying to get used to. He had lived among wild creatures both mythical and normal, creatures that grunt and growl and seem to have no awareness of manners of any kind, and at the moment Ronyo would have taken them over the people he was around. Still that was no reason not to enjoy himself and be grateful and excited about the chance to learn and experience something new, a great many new things more than likely.

As new and old students disembarked the legendary locomotive Ronyo waited for enough people to clear the isle before he made his attempt. He had little in the way of extra positions and what he did have would be taken care of for him. Ronyo did a once over of himself and what he needed to carry off the train. He ran a hand over his almost white blonde hair and made sure the pony tail was well secured, his robes all seemed well enough in order despite the few wrinkles obtained from sitting the few moments after he changed, and his duffle bag of odds and ends was slung over his shoulder and ready to go. With that Ronyo took a step into the slightly less crowded isle and did the disembarking shuffle to the door with some people stopping to say hi or gather up belongings.

Once onto the platform the new addition to the renowned Hogwarts student body gave the place a quick look and took in everything he could. A life in the forest had allowed the boy to begin developing fine deduction skills he had needed to hunt and simply play in the area he considered his backyard. The air was crisp and clean likely coming from the famous Black Lake, the trees played with the small breeze that brought that clean air to the entirety of the Hogwarts and Hogsmeade grounds, the dirt on the ground just beyond the platform was still hard from the summer and easily produced tiny clouds of dust if kicked just right, and then there was the tall woman holding a lantern aloft. The words from the woman echoed and were scrambled all at the same time thanks to the combined encaustics of the small platforms overhand and the constant sounds of both train and student mumbling about. Seeing more kids his age start to gather near the woman Ronyo could conclude it was likely the woman was calling those new to the school over to her. The boy smiled and placed his duffle bag with the ever growing pile of belongings and made his way to the likewise collection of eleven year olds.

Voices rang loud and soft with young girls and boys meeting some people for the first time and reuniting with other they had known prior to this occasion. Already small social gathering were forming whether the children knew it or not, as like minded individuals looked for others they could share and expound to.

Looking around at all the people one individual seemed to stick out but for reasons others may not have thought. Out of all the colorful heads of hair and vibrant shades that nature would have a hard time producing on its own was one that was bare. The boy attached to the bare head seemed to be scanning the crowd and with a face that showed neither judgment or opinion. It was a trait he had remembered of his father, for the brief time he had known him and out of a whim Ronyo decided to see how far the similarities ran. Seeing the boy speak for a moment to a girl he did not wish to be rude and impart into the conversation but with the break in speech he decided to make the most of the moment.

"Semper Fidelis," Ronyo said with a tone that carried both a question and a statement.

The boy's turn and greeting of a hearty hand shake solidified his talk of his father being of the military family that enjoyed the moniker of devil dogs. Ronyo made sure to give his best hand shake as seeing any motion in the boy was likely made after observation and understanding.

"Ronyo Storm, father was Dante Storm Gunnery Sergeant. He was killed in action when I was five so I only have the ground work of the upbringing, but I think it has done me alright," Ronyo gave a brief chuckle at the sound of future marine, "A wizard grunt, they could just put you in artillery alone."

Ronyo had made his comments with room to continue but also with an avenue to allow the line of chatter to end. Seeing as the hairless boy had spoke only when spoken to it was likely he enjoyed a fair amount of quiet as well. Ronyo had noticed the two girls one with locks of red and the other like that of bubble gum. One seemed bubbly and spirited like the lot that mingled about while the other was doing well enough to stay quiet but likely receptive.

With any luck the woman with the lantern would do her best to either quiet the bunch to speak or simply begin leading them towards whatever lay beyond their current point. Whatever that may be it would likely be the start of future actions that would begin to shape their lives forever. It might be quiet the load for some to handle or maybe even comprehend but Ronyo found the idea of his own quest fascinating and he found himself starting to get used to the large crowd and constant noise.
