Rae followed behind Matt and Noah, quickening her pace. She glanced up, noticing that Matt's eyes were lacking his usual enthuastic luster. Rae frowned slightly.

In her excitement, was it possible that she hurt the feelings of one of her new friends? However, just as she opened her mouth to ask him, they were greeted with a carriage. Rae hurried to get in, the wind was chilling her to the bone, penetrating through her thinck robes.
 
"Cute!" Rebecca replied politely as Mira introduced her cat. "How old is it?" she asked, happy to finally have someone else to talk to other than her younger siblings.

Meanwhile, Kelly and Russ sat quietly, pretending not to be listening, but really, they caught every word spoken, and listened contently as the carriage moved onward, passing through iron barred gates of the school.

With a great exasperated sigh, and a cough as the bitter cold air reached his lungs, he crawled into the carriage after Rae, remembering his manners at the last minute.

"I must be getting sick," Matt added dully, it was true, his nose was red from irritation, and his fog of illness loomed over his body, causing his muscles to sag with exhaustion. "I hope I feel better when I get some food, I'm starved," Matt said, with a poor attempt to cheer himself up, it seemed ironic to him. He was getting ill, and all he could think about was food.

"Hopefully we get the same houses," he said hopefully, the comment pointed to both Rae and Noah. He knew it probably wasn't going to be that way though. If the sorting sorted by personality then they would probably be placed in separate houses, but by the way he was feeling, he would likely be joining one or both of them.
 
"Oh, she's about two!" the girl says, letting out a small sigh of relief. Perhaps talking to this girl wouldn't be half bad, if she doesn't ask about her family. Because she rarely talked to people, she didn't know how to handle this situation.

"If you meet anyone at school, tell them that you killed your own mother!" the eldest sister had said when Mira recieved her letter. It was not true at all, for she did not kill her own mother, her mother died in the act of protecting her. Mira says this to her sister, but she just spits on Mira's shoes.
"How is it that mother died with her face torn to shreds, while you survived with a mere cut on your arm, Beastie?" Beastie was one of the many nicknames her siblings gave her, but she prefered Luna above all, mainly it was because one of her brothers was feeling nice that day to her. Mira had shrugged, telling her that she did not know.
"Well then, it was your fault!" And she had stormed off with her pet owl on her shoulder.
"Not, it was not..." the girl had murmured, though she didn't, truly feel it. Perhaps, she had killed mother, maybe it was her fault that the werewolf attacked them...she shook her head before picking her letter off of the table and walked to her room. At least someone wanted her...

Shaking this dreadful memory aside, she looked at the girl speaking to her. Had she introduced herself as Becca, or was it ReBecca. She just nods again after her sentence, not saying anything else.
 
Rae nodded, looking outside the carrage window.

"It would be great to have some familier faces in my house..." she half-whispered. She was nearly terrified of the fact that they were going to get sorted. But by how? Her mother didn't really clarify... she was acting all suspicious.

Caught by a sudden itch in her nose, she sneezed.

"Excuse me." Raelin mumbled, wiping her nose with a tissue.
 
Before Matt could reply, the carriage stopped. Not a long ride afterall... he thought as he heard students rushing out of their carriages to the main school building for the sorting and festivities. "Well, here we go. Come on!" Matt said half eagerly, only because of the sudden illness.

Matt then got up and exited the carriage when the door swung open. He then proceeded to stand off to the side to help Rae and Noah out since the drop to the ground was deceiving.

"Time to go!" Becca exclaimed as she hoped out of her carriage, Russ and Kelly following on her heels. It was a lot bigger than what she thought, five small buildings made up the different dorms, which made them a lot larger and roomier than Hogwarts. The main building was the only other thing she could see, the other smaller buildings, even the quidditch pitch was invisible through the sheet of darkness.
 
Luna's heart caught in her throat, however, she managed to swallow it. Her cat leaps down from her lap and onto the ground as Mira exists the carriage, looking at the building. The cat tugs at her heels, following her as she made her way slowly towards the building. The look of the building reminded her of how hungry she was, and hoped that they served dinner. She looks up at the dark sky, seeing a quarter of the moon and she shivers slightly. At least it was not full, she thinks bitterly to herself. She wouldn't know what she would do if it was. The cat senses her fear and lets out a small purr as she follows slowly behind the others, looking more zombie-like and tired then before.
 
Rae stepped out cautiously, accepting Matt's help.

"Thank you." she said thankfully. While waiting for Noah to come out, she started streching her tired limbs and joints - which were all cramped up from the long ride.

She noted that she was hungry now.
 
'Wow, it's awefully dark...' Noah noted, stepping out of the carriage cautiously, looking around at an attempt to scan his surroundings.

'Gee, I never knew how exhausting sitting in a train could be!' He joked, joining Rae with her stretch.

'Feels good to finally move again, huh?'
 
OOC: Not to hurry or nothin' but let's get this thing rollin'!

IC: The next moment a teacher appeared at the entrance to the main school building. Matt couldn't make out any of the teachers features, it was two dark, and they came at the end of the crowd so he couldn't hear anything being said. "What's the person saying?" asked Matt openly, as he stood on his tip-toes to get a better look, but no such luck came to him as a 5th year student stepped in front of him.

The crowd started to move again, pushing and shoving, trying to be the first ones in the building. Matt had no clue what to expect when he entered the brightly lit building. The floors were well waxied and tiled, and the walls were a beautiful polished marble. A large red oak door swung open, the door frame embroidered with gold and silver, revealing a gigantic room, with 5 tables running the length of it. In the front was the teachers table that ran perpendicular to the house tables, with a platform for sorting positioned just in front.

"Wow..." Matt said, his illness temparerally fading, as he entered the Meal Hall, his excitement returning to him.

"Wow..." were his other siblings remarks as they entered just a few minutes before him. They sat down at the table along with their new friend Luna.

"MATT!" Russ yelled as he stood up on the bench, completely forgetting about all the students around him, and waved at Matt, hoping to get his attention.

"Hey look!" Matt said, catching what Russ yelled, and seeing him foolishly stand up on his bench. "Come on, you two! I want you to meet my brother and sisters!" Matt said grabbing them both by the hand and pushing through the crowd, hoping there would be room for all of them to sit together.
 
Luna felt the blood rush to her cheeks as the siblings she met in the carraige sat next to her, willingly in fact! She gives a small smile as she looks at her new, well, I guess she could call them that now, friends. Maggie goes under the table, almost instictively, waiting for food scraps.

Luna's head lifts up as she hears the sound of people running towards them, and she turns to see a boy running towards them, another on the bench, and another following them. "Do you know them?" she asks, but rather was thinking, are they all related?
 
Noah followed at a swift pace behind Matt, admiring the architecture of the schoo, then finding himself not too far away from 3 other students.

'Oh wow, they all look the same age!!' Noah stated loudly, trying to be heard over the loud rush of people, assuming that the other 3 were the siblings that Matt had mentioned earlier.

'Hi, I'm Noah' He said happily, putting out his hand for the others to introduce themselves.
 
Maggie poked her nose out from under the table and made her way towards Ula, looking at her with interest.

Luna ducks her head down shyly, trying to hide her pinkened cheeks which felt uncomfortabley warm. "Hello..." she says quietly, "I'm Luna..."
 
"Nice to meet you both," Rebecca said with a polite curtsy, which drew a glance of worry from the other three. Since when did she do that!? In all of Matt's memory, he could never remember Rebecca being the one with manners. "My name's Rebecca, you can call me Becca," Rebecca said shaking Noah's hand politely.

Meanwhile, Kelly and Russ looked down at the hard wood table, too shy to even look up to see what was going on. Kelly felt as though she was out of place, she really didn't like big groups, even if it was only six other people. What was she going to say? What was she going to do?

Russ was having almost identical thoughts, but his main worry was with the young girl at Matt's side. He didn't have anything against her, but he just didn't want to end up making a fool out of himself, although he felt like he was making an even bigger fool of himself by not saying something. "Hello..." he peeped up quietly, hoping no one caught his little greeting, he just wanted to be forgotten.

"Hello, Luna! Very nice to meet you! Don't let Rebecca scare you. She scares me sometimes!" Matt said with a friendly wink as Rebecca's fist met his stomach.

"Shut up..." she grunted, now annoyed with her brother. As far as she was concerned, he had no right trying to embarrass her.

"Oh...and she...bites hard..." Matt said, trying to catch his breath. Rebecca had done a fine job of almost hitting his sternum and kocking the wind out of him.

Kelly, who felt extremely embarrassed by now, was the only one who didn't say something. "It's nice to meet you Rae," Kelly said as she caught the young lady's name. "Um...if you haven't guessed already...we're kind of...um...quadruplets..."
 
I bite harder... Luna thinks rather reluctantly. She turns to look up at the four. "Quadruplets," she says, her face still strawberry red, "That could explain...it." her tongue felt thick with shyness, and she looked towards where the teachers were sitting for some guidence, or help.

I do hope they start the sorting soon, she says mentally, looking around. She also wonders what they'll do with a werewolf on their hands, but decides not to think too deeply about that. Instead, she turns her head back to staring at the table, waiting for the burning inferno of her cheeks to dim down.
