spaceAmata arrived at the boathouse to collect the first years, offering a small smile to the groundskeeper. He nodded his head, expression blank, and she suppressed the urge to offer an overtly-friendly hello to try and pull him out of his shell a little. The man was friends with Tesni, for crying out loud, he couldn't seriously be so... serious! all the time! But, she'd yet to ever see him so much as crack a smile. Before she could even try, he was heading out, to where, she had no clue. He never attended the feasts.
spaceShrugging, she turned to the first years and smiled, gesturing that they should follow her."Hello, first years! I'm Professor Amata Harlowe, I'll be leading you all into the Entrance Hall to await the sorting ceremony. If you'll all please come with me,"she stepped to the side, pointing to show the children which way to go, and fell into step behind them to ensure no one got lost and nothing happened on the way.

Zane quickly got off and made his way, not having any time for communications due to the fact the head mistress summoned them. With a gritt of his teeth, he followed the crowd..

Andy had enjoyed the boat ride across the vast lake in relative silence. The only time that they had heard much noise was when the astonishing castle had come into view, and even they had to gasp at the sheer size and grandeur of the proud edifice. Now that the boats had reached their dock, however, there was little time for sightseeing. Andy took a few wobbly steps out of their boat and was equally relieved to be standing back on solid ground as they had been happy to be floating on the water. It seemed that they had to wait here for a bit... That was fine. Andy just hugged themself against the wall of the boathouse until there was more room to walk out. They took a quick look around for where that girl from the boat had gone... She seemed like someone Andy might like hanging around.

Charlie watched around for signs of the squid and periodically watching the castle get closer. 'Yep totally getting lost here whether I like it or not.' Charlie thought creating a mental note of the castle's sheer size. He was only just now getting nervous about the sorting, how were they doing that? Did they have to show off some magic? That be unfair to people like him not knowing any spells, a month and a half ago he didn't even know he was magic. It had to be simple and fair otherwise, people would have complained by now. He had heard people talking about before and after the train ride but he only knew the names but very little on what puts a person there. Well, he would learn soon enough. He helped people as needed out of the boats, as people with boat phobias were likely not doing well.

As the boat came to a slow and graceful stop Elide found herself tilting her head back in order to take in the full height of the castle. No amount of stories could have prepared her for how powerful the place looked, it would have been helpful if her mother had brought her by the castle once or twice to prepare her, but instead Elide gawked up at the beast of a structure, momentarily forgetting her cold, wet arm.
Watching as others started to disembark from the boats Elide would follow suite, and once her feet where firmly on land she wiggled her left arm out of her soaked sleeve, letting the waterlogged sleeve hang limply at her side as she used the inside of her cloak to warm up her nearly ice cold arm. Turning back to look at Lilian, just to make sure that she made it off the boat just fine before she started to look around, other then a few others milling about and more starting to hop off the boats only a few actually stood out to her, a boy and maybe a girl? She couldn't tell with short hair but Elide smiled none the less but didn't go over as they seemed to be looking for someone. So instead Elide continued rubbing her cold arm, slowly warming it up.

spaceCal was pleased when, unlike some years, the trip to the boathouse went smoothly. There were no surprise visits from mermaids or the giant squid, no fighting from what he could see. It'd been nice and calm. When they docked at the boathouse, he stood, carefully got off his own boat, then called out,"Alright, everyone. We'll be waiting here until the deputy headmistress arrives to take you to the castle. Everyone be careful getting onto the docks, and if you need help, don't hesitate to ask."He stepped out of the way, and into a position where he had a good line of sight on all the students, in case anyone needed help and were unable to ask, such as if they very suddenly tripped and started to fall in the lake.

Andy hugged themself against the wall, glancing up as a few people passed in front of them. Of them, Andy noticed one girl seemed to have gotten a sleeve all wet... did she get splashed in the lake? But they noticed her looking over at them, so Andy decided to give a little wave in her direction. 'It wouldn't hurt to try and make at least one friend,' Andy thought, but they couldn't bring themself to walk up to the girl. Maybe she would come over?

spaceAmata arrived at the boathouse in good time; she had prepared herself to leave her room earlier than usual, obviously, even compared to when she'd collected the first years in the past. Probably because she felt more pressure than usual; if she'd been a bit late before, well, this wasn't really her job, after all. But, with Pandora's departure, it was her job now (and thank you ever so much, Angel, for passing on the deputy headmaster position, no, really-). The newly appointed Deputy Headmistress didn't want to be late or irresponsible with this when it was actually going to reflect badly on her from now on. She only prayed that Steele didn't decide to retire; being Headmistress sounded like a headache. She'd do it, mind, but she sure as hell wouldn't be happy about it.
spaceShe offered Callum a small smile, which he returned with a nod. Amata repressed the urge to sigh; how could a man be so bloody stoic? Honestly? But, not her problem. She turned her attention to the first years, smiling at them all."Hello, first years! I'm Professor Harlowe, Deputy Headmistress and Gryffindor Head of House! I'll be taking you to the school and running the sorting ceremony. If you'll all follow me, we can get that underway."She exited the boathouse, pausing by the door to let the children exit. She wanted to make sure she didn't lose anyone. Once it looked like they were all outside, she gestured towards the castle."Alright, this way, everyone! Stay with the group, please, we don't want anyone getting lost."She resisted the urge to joke/instill the fear that if they wandered off, they'd miss the sorting and be houseless. It'd be mean. She wasn't allowed to do that sort of thing. At least, she didn't think so. Timothy probably wouldn't find it half as funny as she did.

Elide's eyes flicked over when she saw someone waving at her, it had been the shorthaired one he had just been looking at. She was about to go over to them when a new teacher came to the boathouse and grabbed her attention. She listened to every word, Professor Harlowe, Deputy Headmistress, and if she was the head of Gryffindor house and Elide just so managed to get sorted into Gryfinndor she would see her a lot more often. Keeping that in mind Elide would look back over at Andy, attempting to wave at them however the arm she would have used was caught under her robes, so she turned slightly and used her free arm, motioning her over.
As the Student's started moving Elide wasn't exactly sure how long she could wait for them, but she hung back for a few more seconds before she started walking, her wet sleeve slapping against her side as she took a few quick steps in order to catch up, following Professor Harlowe and the Students.

First Year|Pureblood|Unsorted [ OOC ] xxx
As the boat docked itself at the boat house, Lilian would tip toe her way to sturdier ground. It was all a bit exhilarating; the train, the boats, the castle. Her father had described the experience to her several times, but as with all things, she had to learn on her own. The stories did little to diminish nor prepare her for the actual journey itself. With a slightly winded sigh, Lilian would be sure to stick close to Elide after disembarking. At this point, it was pretty difficult to get lost, so her previous need to stick close to other first years had settled quite a bit. Her gaze remained forward, but Elide's wave in her peripherals caught her attention.
Lilian's blue eyes traveled to momentarily rest upon the recipient of Elide's wave. Short-cut hair, young face, but particularly androgynous. The redhead herself hesitated on a wave. Maybe Elide knew the other student? Purebloods were often familiar with other magical folk, but to Lilian, it was hard to differentiate heritage based off of appearances. A grin, albeit quick, fluttered across Lilian's lips. Polite enough? It would have to suffice for the moment as Professor Harlowe introduced herself to the group, immediately recapturing all attention.
It was almost time! Both the great castle and sorting ceremony were upon them. Lilian would shuffle forth with Elide, finding that the impatience she felt on the train before was slowly starting to return. Impatience, or excitement? She couldn't quite tell.

Ferdie was so happy he saw the squid tentacle. So cool! He watched the castle get bigger and bigger as they approached. It eventually they were in a boathouse. He carefully got out then proceeded to help others who may have issues with boats. He was itching to get sorted and fed. Mostly sorted but his tummy was demanding food as well. He awaited the person to lead them to the Great Hall.
Faina Patrovna-Harcroft Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
Faina caught the rolling of Rhett's eyes, and knew what it meant instantly; she got it from Katya often enough. She hadn't meant to act all 'big sister', but she had anyway. "Sorry, old habit," she said sheepishly. "Um ...yeah ... a Bagiennik is a daemon which inhabits lakes and rivers, and a Rusalka can either be a mermaid or a water nymph or the unquiet spirit of a young woman whom drowned, depending which of the old stories you read." It was then she saw the tips of a pair of tentacles lift from the water, not far from the side of the boat; they waved briefly before slipping back below the inky black surface of the water. "Wow," was all the response she could muster, as she waved back at the giant squid.
Once they got underway, Faina sat in the prow of the tiny craft, and as her boat sailed round a spit of land, she caught her first real look at the castle, which stood high upon a promontory with lights seemingly glowing from every window. Since she got her letter, just getting here had a measure of unreality to it; now she was finally here, she wanted nothing more than the chance to drink in the sight of it. Not saying a word, scarcely daring to breathe even, she wanted this one perfect memory indelibly imprinted upon her soul.
When they arrived in the boathouse, Faina took great care getting out of the dinghy, after setting the lantern back where she'd found it, and waited whatever instructions the Keeper of Keys had to offer.
