Misadventures at Hogwarts

I looked around the table, and I looked all around me. 'This is so different' Came through my mind. When I got bored from this table,since nobody was talking to me, I went over to the Griffyndor Table and looked at girl with auburn hair and bright cerulean eyes. "Hello" I said, and at that moment I scolded myself for not trying to hide my accent, which was very much present since I had only been learning English for not that long.
 
"Goodbye" I replied, standing myself and moving off towards the line of Ravenclaw students heading to our own dormatory. I tried to find Saphira, but couldn't seem to in the crowd, despite my advantage in height. I surpassed most of the third-years and equaled most of the fourth. As we filed upstairs and to the West Tower, I wondered briefly what it would have been like going to school back in Mos Rus. Mother Russia, I quickly corrected myself as we gathered outside of the suit of armor guarding Ravenclaw House. A prefect gave us he password, "Lethifold" for now and we filed in. It was a nice common room, more like a library, actually. Bookshelves lined the walls, and books were scattered across the smaall tables, each table accompanied by a leather armchair. A fire blazed in one cornor. Opposite it, stairs led to a balcony filled with doors, each, I assumed, leading to dormatories.
 
I said goodbye to the girl as a woman had just called us to go to our domitories. As we went up I saw a tall boy who had also been sorted today, but he seemed MUCH older than 11. I looked at him, and saw that he musnt be from here. 'I dont know how...But he just seems DIFFERENT somehow..' I thought 'Oh well, at least I now know Im not the only foreigner here' I smiled as I looked around at the room. I was in awe. I quickly went to one of the chairs, and took out one of my books to finish reading.
 
As Cecily bit on a piece of chicken, she briefly waved at the new claimed Gryffindor beside her and greeted her happily. She continued on finishing everything on her plate, and, after finally finishing, turned to the girl sitting beside her. "My name is Cecily, by the way." She stated cheerily, smiling naively at her. "Can I know yours?"

Before Cecily received an answer, a female Ravenclaw with dark brown hair greeted her. She greeted her back and was about to engage herself in conversation with her when the girl abruptly said goodbye and left. Cecily waved goodbye to her and watched the girl go with the other Ravenclaws in confusion, wondering why she had to leave. She figured out why only after a man had called every Gryffindor, telling them to follow him to their dormitories.

Excitedly, Cecily turned to the girl beside her and pointed over to the man calling them. "Let?s go!" She exclaimed as she started dashing to where the other Gryffindors were heading.
 
Johann entered the dorm, and sat on a green couch as a man introduced himself as Professor Snape and sent us directly to bed.

Once at the boys' dorm, he found his stuff already unpacked and sorted out.

"Lights out," came a call, not even three seconds after he arrived. It had been along day and he was glad to see a comfortable bed waiting for him.
 
Paige watched the newest gryffindor and walked behind her. "Um...... hello" she said in a shy heisitant voice. The girl was very outgoing and bouncy she seemed like the exact opposite me Paige thought to herself. She followed the girl staring at her, Paige's red eyes gleamed curios if this girl would even talk to her.
 
'Ugh, This is getting boring'I thought. Very carefully, I slipped out of the Common Room and quickly whipped out my wand. 'Mudar' I murmured a Portuguese spell, and my robes quickly changed from Ravenclaw to Griffyndor Robes "this is going to be fun...VERY fun' I smiled and I quickly qent torwards the Griffyndor Common Rooms, which my sisters, who had friends from here, were told were behind a certain Portrait. "that girl seemed nice, I think I should go talk to her!' Smiling brightly, I said the first thing that came into my mind. "Unicorn's Horn" After she let me in, even though with a suspicious look, she still let me in. I quickly skimmed the room and when I found the girl I Immediatly went over to the girl and tried to restart their earlier conversation. "Hello" I said, this time remembering to hide my accent.

P.S. Im getting really hyped about this!!!!!

"Um...... hello"

A timid and rather isolated voice called. Cecily whirled around and grinned cheerily at the girl. "Hiya~!" She exclaimed enthusiastically, her grin widening.

The prefect had already spoken the password and had just led them inside the Common Room, showing where the girls? dormitories are and where the boys' are.

Cecily was again greeted by another Gryffindor, and as usual, she greeted them with her usual ecstatic tone. "Hi there!" She exclaimed, waving at her.

She carefully examined the girl, seeing that she looked rather skeptical. She persuaded herself that it was merely her imagination acting up and shook off her thoughts.
 
Paige almost stumbled backward wow, she thought I never have been greeted like that before! "My name is Paige" Paige said with more and more confidence, "and it is a pleasure to meet you." Paige seemed to be alot happier this girl was nice which was not something that I have seen alot Paige thought to herself. Suddenly she remembered something "oh I hope he does not get into trobal...." Paige said with a small amount of worry.
 
Rachel had only moments ago sat down next to another first year Gryffindor and what seemed like immediately, the girl had introduced herself as Cecily. She seemed rather bouncy and perhaps overly exited, but Rachel did not mind, she smiled and was about to answer to the question when a newly deemed Ravenclaw girl greeted Cecily and vice versa.

By the time the girl had gone, Cecily was on her feet and rushing to a male Gryffindor who had called all of them to order a line in front of him, probably to take them to their dorms. The girl then engaged in conversation with another Gryffindor and Rachel felt as though the hopes of making a new friend had come and gone.

?Ouch? She muttered under her breath, so that not even the ghosts of the school could hear ?Perhaps I need to be a little more demanding and outgoing? She told herself ?Perhaps then I will find it easier to make new friends and perhaps even have a best friend.? She nodded encouragingly to herself and smiled widely to her own thoughts ?I know I will make friends here, I just have to try!?

Those words said, she bounded off in the direction of the male Gryffindor, smiling and greeting others as she went past, some smiled, yet some ignored her, and it was then Rachel realized that she would make not only friends, but enemies. The Slytherins, she knew, would not be very welcoming towards her. From the stories her father had told her, Gryffindors and Slytehrins were sworn enemies and Professor Snape?.was even worse. She dreads her first Potions class because of this.

?No worries, I wont change my sarcasm and joyous nature just because one meanie of a Professor doesn?t like such antics? she grinned mischievously ?In fact, I think I will be quite the opposite. Professor Snape won?t know what hit him?

She stepped up to the side of the two chattering Gryffindors and greeted them warmly ?You asked me my name back there? She stated to Cecily ?I?m Rachel. I come from a long line of Slytherins? She then stated smugly ?I have always wanted to brake that line? She turned to the other Gryffindor who has engaged in conversation with Cecily ?And you are??
 
I wasn't ready for bed, not yet at least. I took a chair near the fire and selected a book from the small pile on the table next to me. Fire comforted me. Reminded me of home. Lord, how I missed Russia. I began flipping through the book, an intermediate DADA text, for a spell I didn't yet know.
 
OOC: Me? If so....
"I am Paige it is a pleasure to meet you." I looked for something and found it "this is my pet" Paige said pulling out a black top hat. A soft popping noise was heard and a large white rabit was in Paige's arms. Paige stared at the bunny lovingly "his name is tuesday!"
 
Johann woke up the next morning, tired since he stayed up longer than he had in awhile. He slipped on his cowboy hat and slipped into the close he wore the night before. He figured he could take a shower before his classes so he headed down the stairs to the Slytherin Common Room.

The boy that he had fought was sitting on a rocking chair and two others were sitting close to him, he figured that they were his goons. He silently took a seat on the couch and stared blankly into the fire.

"Hey you. What's your name?" the leader asked.

"Johann Sebastian Bach," he offered willingly, as he continued his blank stare as he watched the fire burn on and on.

"Well my name's Ken. You can call me Kenny though," he said, as if his name was the most important in the world. "And tto the left of me is Jeremy and to the right of me is Tim."

Johann just shook his head and then the one named Jeremy spoke up, alittle timid, "You socked him good, you know that? I haven't seen anyone that brave in my whole entire attendance here!"

Kenny shot him a dangerous glare, Jeremy thought of backing off but Johann then interupted. "Well get used to it, I'm as stubborn as a rusty nail that no matter what you do to it, you can't get it out of the board."

Then Johann turned to see how truly weak Jeremy was. To his own dismay, Jeremy was a strong 6th year student, was hansome as any back in the states, as far as Johann could see. The only difference from Jeremy to Tim seemed to be that Jeremy was more timid of Kenny, and he had black hair and brown eyes. Tim on the other hand, showed no fear of Ken and had brown hair and green eyes.

Kenny on the other hand, ironically, was as skinny as a rail and looked in desperate need of some muscling. Although he did seem to have been in his share of fights and did seem like he could take down alot of people.

Johann, who had been a cowboy from birth, gained his muscles on his parents ranch in Texas. So he was well muscled for his age, although it only showed when he flexed them, if he was relaxing he looked like an average 11 year old.

"Where are you from?" Ken asked, well more of demanded.

"Texas," Johann replied.

"And the German name?" Tim cut in.

"My mum is from Germany. They met in Pheonix, Arizona. My father has been a rancher all his life the same with his father and his grandfather and so on and so forth. My family on my father's side hasn't ever moved from Texas since they settled there," Johann explained. "My mum named me."

"Well I'm from London. Jeremy here is from France, and Tim is from Germany." Kenny said in a matter of fact tone.

"Well, I'm goin' down to get me somethin' to eat," Johann said getting to his feet and staring off toward the portrait.

The same group of girls from last night walked passed him as they came down from the girls' dorm. Again he tipped his hat and winked at them, drawing a few giggles from them. Johann looked back long enough to see Ken mutter something to the affect of "remind me to teach that kid a lessen about messin' with our girls."
 
Saphira walked out of her dorm with her sketchbook in hand. She wasn't really all that tired, and figured she could try drawing to relax herself. Going to a new school was exciting. She hoped she could actually make some friends here, unlike at home...

~*~*~*~

"Get outta the way, Saphira." One boy said, pushing her down.

Saphira glared at him, while a few of the others laughed at her. One kid who she couldn't see threw a rock at her.

"Hmpf. What, you gonna just sit there all day?" He 'accidentally' kicked some dirt at her. Saphira rose, still staring at him with a dangerous look. He was at least a head taller than her, and much stronger.

"I sugest you watch yourself..." Saphira growled, hatred burning in her eyes.

Everyone laughed. Saphira balled up her fist, growing angrier with each passing moment. The wind began to pick up, toying with her hair. Some of the kids stopped laughing, now watching black clouds roll in from nowhere. Lightning crackled above, making everyone stop but the boy.

"What are you gonna do, Saphi?" He sneered, "Are you gonna go t-" Thunder clapped overhead, and a split second later, lightning jumped from the sky, hitting him. Everyone screamed.

Saphira ran, promising that would never happen again. Even if it ment pushing the whole world away.

~*~*~*~

Saphira blinked, pushing that memory away. She sat down in a chair, becoming absorbed in her drawing.
 
I set down the book. Nothing intresting, I knew it already. I stood and stretched, looking over. I saw Saphira in a neraby chair. She looked a little down-and-out. Walking over, I put a hand on her shoulder and asked "Are you alright?"
 
Saphira jumped, glancing upwards. She stopped working on the picture of the owl snoozing peacefully on the window ledge nearby and simled slightly.

"Oh, uh, I'm fine..." She said, her voice trailing off. Very few people cared about her, or even what she thought. This was surprizing.
 
"Are you sure" I asked, concern tinging my gaze with a darker cast. "You seemed...Depressed is the word, da?" Again, I winced mentally. The Russian still slipped out sometimes.
 
"I'm alright... Just some memories from the past." She said, going back to her drawing. So far, she had most of the owl's head and shoulders drawn. A look of sadness set on her face, but she looked away before anyone could notice. If her emotions got out of control, people could get hurt...
 
When Marina saw that the girl seemed a little skeptical, insecurity overcame her, but the it went away when she saw that the girl had pushed the thought away.
"I'm Marina, and whom might you be?" I asked, and smiled. Hopefully, this would work.

Edit: Sorry about that. I think I should explain this. My sister is a big fan of forums so I was showing her this one. I told her that she could always use my account, and since she's never RPed before she didnt know the rules. Anyways, I hope you guys will except my apology, and dont worry, If my sister ever uses my account again Ill be sure to tell her the rules before she does ^^;;;

"If you are sure" I replied, a sad smile creeping across my face. "If ever you want to talk, you may find me. It is alright. I am a friend."
