"I see" I replied. "I am wishing to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration." I was speaking slowly, trying to make sure I didn't slip up again.
 
Paige stared at the great hall slightly dazed it was not what she was used to. She stared at the gryffindors they were so..... peppy. Paige sweat droped as she stared at them no one was not smiling. Well I stick out like a sore thumb here, Paige thought to herself. She tried to smile but but ended up putting her head down. Weep I never had anything to smile about Paige thought to herself.

Nee, Rai-Rai, Marii ish still welcome to join, right~? =3

Name: Cecily Haruno
Gender: Female

Wand~
Wood: A combination of Holly and Ebony.
Length: Ten and one quarters
Core/Enchantment: Unicorn hair mixed with an angel hair.

Description: Cecily has auburn hair that cascades down to her chin with ribbons present, adorning her hair while misshapen bangs frame her forehead. Her eyes are vivid cerulean with flecks of red, visible if one should thoroughly observe them, and are always gleaming with bliss and naivety. Her childish innocence, along with her being short and her slender, seemingly-fragile frame often leads one into thinking that she is much younger than she truly is.

Also, an insignia was marked on her right palm; an intricate emblem of a star with two feathers, one white, the other black, at its side. She frequently keeps it hidden by wearing fingerless gloves.

Personality: Enthusiasm and naivety; those are Cecily's most major traits. Although she loves pulling pranks on others, she does it merely for fun and would immediately repent her actions should her pranks injure someone, and then she would do anything, by all means, to get their pardon. She is also constantly exceedingly eager to please anyone she befriends, and is always will to help defend anyone?her most troubling flaw. Fiercely loyal and extremely upbeat?she is almost always cheery and hyper, always present with a blissful grin. Living with four older men [her brothers] also created her boyishness and audacity.

Pet: A snowy owl, peculiarly named Dark. His beaks are a bright yellow and his eyes are eerily crimson. His wings are pure white with dabs of grey at the tip. His left wing was also marked with the similar insignia as Cecily has.

OOC: No guts in this batch...it's ashame that I'm the only one to choose the most hated of the houses. XD

Yes yes mari! I've been waiting! ^^

IC: Johann tipped his cowboy hat in the direction of a few 5th year girls and gave his characteristic smirk and wink.

"So you're a first year?" a smug voice came from his side.

"Yeah, gotta problem with that, city slicker?" Johann shot back as he realized that the boy wasn't all that friendly.

"Yeah cowboy. Don't be messin' with our girls," the boy said bluntly, obviously a 5th year.

"I done nothin' wrong," Johann said coolly as his eyes narrowed, it was obvious that he was ready for a fight, for his fine glass broke under the pressure of his fist.

The young man's cackle knocked Johann off his feet and he growled, "You startin' something?"

Again the boy cackled loudly, this time drawing stares from the surrounding students. "You think you're pretty tough don't you cowboy? You think you're all that with your cowboy hat, and you're little smirk, don't you?"

"I never said that," Johann grunted, a fire building in his eyes. "Now if you're tryin' to start something, go right ahead and keep this up. I suggest you back down," came another grumble.

"Hey everyone!" the boy spat. "This cowboy thinks he's tough!" he said inbetween laughs, drawing histeria from the table.

Johanns face was as red as a rose with anger as he let his right fist hook up underneath the boys jaw. A loud cracking noise rang through the large room. The boy fell down on the ground holding his jaw.

Johann, who wasn't strong enough to lift the heavy boy up, knelt down and grabbed the collar of the boys robes. "Listen here you son of a..." before he could complete his sentence a hand grabbed him by the shoulders and dragged him off the boy, and another teacher picked up the fallen young man. Johann looked behind his shoulder to see a gruff half giant looking sternly back at him.

"I be taken you to ol' Dumbledores office, that I will," the giant said as he forced Johann, who willingly went with him, along out of the Great Hall. While the other boy was sent to the Hospital wing.
 
<OOC>I'm a Ravenclaw, pure and simple. All my HP characters go to Ravenclaw. It's my trademark among HP RPs.<OOC>

I'd watched the fight with some intrest. That other first-year knew how to fight. Of course, his movements were rather inefficient, but he had potential. Pity he hadn't let me join in. It was odd for me, given what I'd done to Alexi, but I was itching for a fight. I didn't want my Sambo to get rusty, after all.
 
Paige pulled her head up and smirked "there is hope for this place" she said quietly to herself. She never really noticed how fighting was just so intresting....... She turned her head away seeing a adult break up the fight. Her eyes glinted strangly though as if she wanted to see more fighting....
 
OOC: I normally choose Ravenclaw, but I went against the grain this time for something interesting! ^^

IC: "You know what you did was unacceptable, and could be punished by throwing you out of the school," Dumbledore said coolly as Johann entered his well decorated office.

"That kid deserved what he got. If yer friend didn't come 'n' stop me, I would 'ave kept it goin'," Johann said equally coolly. He could play this old man's game, if the man wanted to act intellectual, so could he.

"I must admit though..." Dumbledore went on. Johann swallowed cautiously, ready to be expelled at any moment. "You do throw a pretty good upper-cut," Dumbledore said, Johann smirked, he found himself comforted and well protected under the Headmasteres sharp and wise eyes.

"I've had trouble with that one for quite sometime. Hopefully now he won't cause anymore trouble," Dumbledore smiled. Then, as if a sudden mood swing came over him, he frowned and scolded at the young boy, "But you still need punished, you won't be expelled. You will spend a month everyday after school with Professor Snape," Dumbledore said sternly.

Johann took a sigh of relief that he wasn't going to be expelled. How hard could this detention be? I mean it's a teacher after all right? Well that's what Johann thought too. "May I go?" Johann asked, and with a nod Johann left followed by the half giant.

"I be keepin' 'n eye on you," the large man whispered as they entered the Great Hall again. Johann soon found his place back at his own table, and ate quietly trying to keep quiet about the whole fight scene.
 
Cecily watched with anticipation as the first year students were sorted. She waited eagerly for her name to be called, not caring where she was sorted. As long as she'd have fun and would make friends in whatever house she would be, she knew she had nothing to worry about.

"Haruno, Cecily!" Her name was cried out, snapping her out of her thoughts. She immediately ambled to where the Sorting Hat was placed, grinning cheerily. She hopped on the stool and watched as the hat was then positioned on her head.

Hmm? He started, seemingly bemused at what he was seeing within the child. What a distinctive child; brimming with innocence and naivety despite everything that occurred. His grim and rather vexing voice roared in her head, and she found herself vaguely quavering. She regained her composure soon, and listened intently to the rest of his little judgment, a little exasperated that he was amused of it all.

He ruled out Ravenclaw, informing her that she was too dense, and Hufflepuff, since he judged that she was too bold to fit in. He couldn't seem to choose between Gryffindor and Slytherin. He mused for a little while longer before he cried out ?Gryffindor'.

Cecily briskly nodded and joined the other Gryffindors at their table. She couldn't quite figure out why the Sorting Hat seemed unsure. He was supposed to be bright and quick to judge, but he appeared to find it difficult in her case. Well, It was quite a drama. Rather bothersome one, too.

After thanking all those who had welcomed her, she grabbed as much food as she could and happily muched away. She caught a glimpse of the fight that started not too long ago, but it was quickly halted, not that she wanted it to continue or anything.
 
Paige stared at the new gryffindor she fit in much better Paige noticed. "Really a prim example of gryfindor" Paige said to herself. Then she sweat droped I didn't even notice all the food here she exlaimed in her mind. So she reaced out to try some things. "This is pretty good" Paige said to herself again, "well this is hogwarts and since you aren't the best cook and you have mostly had take out I would suspect it would seem good..." Paige told herslef again...
 
Johann caught sight of a young girl getting sorted into Gryffindor. By all means she looked younger than what she truly was, but he just shrugged, he looked older than he truly was so he didn't really care.

Soon he got tired of listening to the conversations going on at his table, "This is boring..." he muttered to himself. Getting up he looked around for someone interesting to talk to. Finally he settled on the Ravenclaw table.

Sitting down beside a tall Russian boy (AKA Your character TAD), Johann said politely although his voice showed a hint of boredom, "How's it going?"
 
Rachel stood eagerly amongst the first year students waiting for her name to be called from the list one of the Professors held. The older students had settled down and were watching with interest as the first years were sorted into their houses, their gazes studying every first year carefully as they were called to the wooden stool and placed into their most suited houses.

Rachel?s heart was pounding nervously and it felt as if Hippogriffs has some how lodged themselves into her small stomach and were fluttering around madly on her insides. Yes she was truly frightened and what was worse was that pretty much all of her family has been placed into the Slytherin house, and Rachel did not want such a thing to happen.

?Almasy Rachel? The voice boomed and echoed through the hall, which made Rachel feel small and if possible more scared that what she had felt moments ago. ?Oh God, Oh god? She muttered mentally, as she stepped from the small crowd of first year students and made her way to the stool and the dreaded hat.

It felt as if every eye was on her... 'Probably because every eye is on you, dimwit? She growled mentally, hoisting herself up onto the stool and take a deep breath as the hat was placed atop her head. It felt heavier than what it had looked, probably because not just the weight of the hat was on her head, but the weight of her future.

She jumped slightly as the hat began to spoke, but somehow managed to keep a straight face. ?Hmm? It hummed into her ear ?You are of Slytherin blood? The words she had dreaded to here echoed through her ears and hit her brain ?I am not like them, I am not like them? She repeated desperately.

?I am not sure? The hat spoke in that menacing voices that made Rachel?s stomach churn unpleasantly. ?You have the mind of a Slytherin and the cunning, but the Courage of a Gryffindor? The voice paused and hummed into her ear again. ?But If you are sure that Slytherin is not where you?re heart lies, then let it be GRYFFINDOR!?

Applause met her ears as the hat was taken from her head and a weight she had carried for the past few days had disappeared along with it. ?I am not a Slytherin' She muttered mentally ?I am not a Slytherin!' A smile broke upon her face and she practically skipped to the Gryffindor table, which were upon their feet in an instant, reaching for her hand and shaking it forcefully.

A rush of words met her ears. Some were chanting ?Welcome to Gryffindor? Other were muttering ?Another more than the Slytherins? Some were even patting the bench next to them indicating for her to sit next to them ?Come and sit by me!? But in the end, Rachel had decided to sit next to a girl with auburn hair and vivid cerulean eyes.

?Finally, something I can be proud of? She noted mentally 'I beet my father. I am not a Slytehrin!?
 
Paige stared at another new gryffindor as she munched on some carrots. This one had a releived face "strange" she said aloud to no one. "Well you are one to talk" Paige said to herself as a couple of gryffindors stared at her unsure. She went back to eating as soon as she saw them staring, great I have to go through that again Paige thought smirking to herself.
 
Saphira nodded, agreeing to what Mikhail had said. Defense Against the Dark arts did seem intresting, as well as Transfiguration. When someone else sat down Saphira withdrew from the conversation, just listening. The boy's voice hinted boredom. She was bored too.
 
"I am doing well, thank you for asking" I replied, my pace picking up a bit as I regained some of my lost confidence. "I was watching you...beat up, you English say?" I paused, thinking for a second before continuing "Beat up that other boy. It was...enjoyable."
 
"The guy was a jerk...someone had to teach him a lessen," Johann sighed. "Yes I do speak english, I'm bilingual, I speak german also...but don't ask me to say anything...I have a hard time with the accent," Johann chuckled lightly/

"You speak pretty good english. Have you been taking lessens?" Johann asked, he knew the guy was russian from his accent, but he couldn't tell whether he self taught himself, or he took language classes like how he took German in a german class.

"Oh by the way, my name's Johann Sebastian Bach," Johann said with a polite smile.
 
YAYYY Im joining people ^^


Name:Marina Lisboa
Wand:Ebony, 10 inches, and Silver hair of a Banshee
Gender:Female
Description:Very dark brown hair that sometimes looks black, Brown eyes with a bit of Green, Hair goes down to shoulders and her bangs that go down to her nose are usually pinned down with a clip to the left side. She usually wears hogwarts robes otherwise she just wears jeans with a shirt with buttons.
Personality:Marina was born in Portugal. Her father is a half-blood and her mother is a pure blood. She has one sister in the 5th year and one in the 6th. She usually reads a lot and always loves learning about things she didnt know about. She can get really hyper when you ask her about something she really likes. She doesnt concetrate on only ONE thing but rather a lot of things at once. She usually thinks to fast so when you ask her something she thinks she knows she Usually gets it wrong. Youll find out more later.


I breathed deeply..."Oh My god, I would never have thought I would be in an English school, but rather a Portuguese school like my sisters" At that moment I heard a voice call me up. I looked straight forward, and with much excitment and a stupidly large smile on my face I went up and sat on the stool. "aaahhh, I see. You are not from this country. You are very interested in the world around you, arent you child? You do not care for those who stand in your way and try to take you down, you still stay in your spot. You also set new goals as your latter ones are achieved. I have the perfect place for you, Child. RAVENCLAW! Came the hats voice as she had crossed her fingers and tightly shut her eyes. She smiled and looked up, and quickly made her way to her table. 'This is going to be...how do the english say it?...Oh, yes. So AWSOME!'
 
"I have learned frommy own study" I replied. So it was still noticeable. "I am called Mikhail" I added on, extending my hand for him to shake.
<OOC>Grr...RPrs block.<OOC>
 
Johann took Mikhail hand in his own. "It's nice to meet you!" Johann said with another polite smile.

"So what do you think of Hogwarts so far?" Johann asked as he just now began to take in the sights around him.

OOC: TAD You ain't the only one...
 
"So far" I replied, smiling. I rather liked this boy, despite his being in Slytherin. That, though, could be worked around. "It seems nicer thn the schools back home, at least." Indeed, my parents had moved here to send my to Hogwarts over Durmstrang Institute or one of the smaller Russian schools.
 
OOC: I believe we can move on now...

IC: "I see..." Johann began but was soon interupted when a tall lanky woman announced that they were to go to houses now. "Well I'll catch you later. See you around," Johann said before jogging over to the slytherin table and following them out of the Great Hall.
