Bothered, Evie glanced up to the hat ❛❛What are you talking about, Sir?❜❜ she asked with brows raised in confusion.
The sorting hat tusked ❛❛You're quite of a shy but brave lady, wise and witty but not enough to be a Ravenclaw.... You seek for honesty and keep secrets— I see you value hardwork and anticipation too. Bet you'd do good with the Slytherins❜❜ he continued, while Evie decided to push her questions away for some time ❛❛I know a perfect house for you; soon you'll prove everyone wrong..❜❜
❛❛What?❜❜
Even Addison and the others couldn't help but somehow have the urge to demand answers concerning those strange things mentioned by the sorting hat to Evie.
❛❛Hufflepuff!❜❜
Nonetheless, the students seated at the table for Hufflepuffs cheered but rather lowly after her assigned house was announced.
And another sentence to question, wonderful. For crying out loud, what was that all about? Catching a glimpse of her friends who apparently belongs in another house, they flashed her smiles, and thumbs up as she took a seat beside Malia.
She heaved a sigh and frowned, so much for thinking of having a normal first day of school in Hogwarts. The necklace that hanged around Evie's neck glowed— well more like sparked up as it gave her the usual comforting warmth.
❛❛Nice necklace.❜❜ complimented the blonde guy who sat beside the black haired girl.
Noticing that the guy was looking at her necklace, she smiled awkwardly ❛❛Er.. yes, thanks.❜❜
the blonde guy chuckled ❛❛Don't think about what the sorting hat said, he's always been weird you know❜❜
glancing back at the sorting hat he sighed silently, he couldn't help but be curious too. What could the sorting hat be really talking about? Was he serious? Is this where it's really gonna start?
The house sorting for the new students continued.
❛❛Actually Noah, he's even weirder today❜❜ The girl with golden blonde hair that sat in front of Malia, remarked, pulling Noah out from his clouds of thoughts.
Noah could only shook his head a bit and chuckle along with Evie at the Blonde girl's words.
It took twenty good minutes for the sorting to finally finish. Two of the transferees for 6th grade was a Griffindoor and Ravenclaw, three of the ones for 2nd grade was two Slytherins and a Ravenclaw while the last four transferees for the 3rd grade were three Hufflepuffs ( which Iganashi is included ) and a Griffindoor.
Soon after Seamus Gorman had took his seat, The Headmistress stood up from her seat to start the announcement and greetings to everyone.
❛❛Today we start a new journey of learning❜❜ started the blonde fair women in her blue silky robe ❛❛I highly assume that those who have already spent more than a year here had known what the rules are, but for those are new please pay attention.❜❜ she requested
with her calm and collected voice, eyes seemingly being demanding.
❛❛Here it goes again❜❜ grumbled Noah at the golden blonde girl from before, earning giggles from the others as Headmistress Johnson started the rules and regulations.
Would've been great if Evie could've been in a house that one of her friends were at, probably like Ravenclaw— not like she's really disappointed of being announced as a Hufflepuff, she just felt quite lonely even with Iganashi and Malia who she just made friends with earlier then now Noah. In general, she has no problems or questions concerning about her house.
❛❛Lastly; don't dare step a foot at the dark forest if you wish to not die in such young age and painful ways❜❜ The Headmistress flashed them a small smile ❛❛Now, let's fill those stomachs. Enjoy the feast!❜❜
she announced with her infamous charming smile.
With a snap of a finger, a huge food amount of food in different sizes, appearances and taste, appeared in every table.
❛❛Woah.❜❜ Evie mumbled underneath her head, amused of what she's seeing ❛❛I definitely love magic.❜❜
The feast started quite chaotically. Everyone seemed to be quite of a loud person as they continued to eat. Just like Evie, most of the students who were new were of course in awe at how much food is served for them on their first meal-feast there, even those who transferred from certain wizardry school.
After some time, the feast seem to have come to an end and does seem like everyone had enjoyed the feast. The sound of chatters still haven't died down until the Headmisstress had took action.
Standing there, Headmistress Johnson coughed oh-so-loudly, successfully catching the students' attention ❛❛As always, we will give everyone twenty minutes to around the school before heading to their common rooms❜❜ the students cheered ❛❛Do comeback when the bell rings; indicating you that the limited time has come to anend. You may go now.❜❜ She smiled as she then sat back to her seat.
What's more nice than a stroll around the school with the cool breeze running through the place and starry night sky above everyone?
Bianca grinned, seeing as Sebastian had given the cue to excuse themselves and head to the specific Hufflepuff ❛❛I'll head out first.❜❜ she excused herself, standing up from her seat.
❛❛Hanging out with the freaks, aren't you Bianca? How pathetic.❜❜ exclaimed River, running her fork to her food.
There were still a few students left in the Ravenclaw table despite most of the students already started heading out from the great hall; a few pairs of eyes were gazing at the specific redhead and blonde girl.
The redhead tusked and turned to River ❛❛How about minding your own business, River? I think you already know that— or does that somehow not exist in your own dictionary?❜❜ she raised a brow ❛❛Heard you failed herbology and potions, shouldn't you be worried for that rather than butting in with others' business?❜❜
River kept silent as Bianca smiled triumphantly.
The blonde girl gritted her teeth in annoyance; how can she talk so calmly and sweet?
River stood up from her seat and walked out with Melanie following her from behind ❛❛Blood traitor.❜❜ she grumbled.
❛❛Ciao!❜❜ with a grin, Bianca waved her hand and turned her heels as she then made her way towards the others.
There were definitely much more better and important things to take care of than dealing with the blonde royal-like life girl, River; Practically, her studies and future.
❛❛Of course they'd see each other❜❜ argued Addison ❛❛They're the same species, Sebastian.❜❜
Sebastian looked upset ❛❛How mean, I was just asking❜❜
❛❛And I am only saying what's obvious.❜❜ the brunette rolled her eyes.
Ivan laughed ❛❛They sure got some pride, don't you think so?❜❜ Phil, who Ivan nudged only playfully shook his head with a sly smile.
❛❛Do they argue a lot?❜❜ Evie questioned, eyes laid on his brother and Addison who was bickering at the corner.
They had been arguing about whether thestrals could see themselves, though it was a small conversation between Ivan and Sebastian until Sebastian had asked the Slytherin girl whether thestrals could actually see themselves. It started quite small but Sebastian being Sebastian decided to annoy the Slytherin girl and act even more dumber than he already is ( at least that's what he is to Addison ).
Phil hummed ❛❛Well, now that I'm looking at them, I suppose they do.❜❜ he answered, eyes catching the red head girl walking towards them ❛❛Took you long enough.❜❜ he stood up from his seat with brows raised.
❛❛A little bird held me for a moment❜❜ she nodded her head and separated the brunette and redhead boy, whose glares for each other seemed to have some sort of electricity, before dragging them both by their wrists ❛❛Let's go!❜❜ she exclaimed.
The other three followed them behind, they continued to chat and laugh at one of the most silliest and simplest things as they strolled around the hallways, passing by students and students.
❛❛So where exactly are we?❜❜ asked Evie, looking around the huge place;
Both ends of what seemed to be a sports field, had a soccer goal, four large bleachers were around the place that had different colors which is red, blue, green and yellow; perhaps a bleacher for every house.
The black haired girl came to halt as soon as she felt a small ball hit her feet.
She couldn't help but raise a curious and confused brow ❛❛Isn't this ball too small for soccer?❜❜ she gazed at the small white ball she had on her hand.
The ball was only a bit bigger than her fist, unlike the soccer ball she had played with during fifth grade. The sport definitely cannot be tennis or baseball as there were goal nets that's probably about five feet high.
Sebastian chuckled as he threw the small ball that Evie had, back to a basket it's suppose to be ❛❛Actually it's Lacrosse. We're at the Lacrosse field.❜❜ though the sport was launched at Hogwarts during midst of twentieth century ❛❛You're familiar with it, aren't you?❜❜
Of course she does, That's one of the sports her muggle friend Anderson plays, the guy who belonged to an only boy school which is also quite of relative with her used to be school— She had even watched a few matches with some of her friends; since the day Anderson introduced her to that sport, she had started loving it.
Evie nodded her head.
Ivan's lips curved up and pointed at Phil ❛❛Be ready to get your pride smashed, Dixon❜❜ he threatened.
The tall man smirked ❛❛Let's see about that.❜❜
Bianca and Addison decided to take a seat before ( Bianca ) and beside ( Addison ) Evie, probably tired from all the walking and standing.
While the boys was there in front of them— except for Ivan who's sitting a bit further from Evie, taking their prides up and even betting on who will win during the coming matches for Lacrosse, although after a minute they started it again but this time with Quidditch.
Bianca sighed ❛❛And here they go again❜❜ she rolled her eyes, they laughed and continued to talk more about how such subjects actually works and which wizard or witch will come to teach,
But with a single sound of a loud crack, they stopped their tracks and alternate their gazes to where they heard crack. It wasn't just them who turned at the teacher who just apparated there unknown reasons, there were also a few other students around.
The teacher grinned ❛❛I knew you kids would be here❜❜ the woman wore a white dress under her griffindoor robes, her red hair was neatly on loose while a headband was there on her head.
The redhead teacher can't be here to scold them for coming to the field since there were plenty of students seen here hanging out even back then.
Phil stood in front with a questioning look ❛❛Is there anything we could help you with, Professor Wallis?❜❜ he asked politely.
As the day went by, it totally got weirder wierder, especially to Evie who knew nothing about what really lies in her hands; her future.
Cherry nodded her head ❛❛Would it be okay if I borrow Miss Leighton for a moment?❜❜
