Erin caught her breath as she sat at the Hufflepuff table. Sorting wasn't as bad as she had expected it to be. It was a blur from the second a teacher she couldn't remember the name of called "Erin Dancer" to now, sitting at the Hufflepuff table. It was hard for her to take account of her emotions. She supposed she felt pleased. She was in the house her parents had wanted her to be in. Hufflepuff. She was an average Hufflepuff. At the back of her mind she hoped she might be something other. Gryffindor maybe. 'the bravest and the boldest went to daring Gryffindor'. Erin didn't really consider herself very brave, but she was certainly bold. But the sorting hat had been definite in its choice.
Now, Erin just wanted to get term started. And do what she did best, make friends.

Ooc: As people aren't really posting on the two newbie role-plays, does anyone know one that would be ok to join that people are more involved in? I have looked around but most are too long.

[Coloured_Dreams]

Character Bio Outline: An extremely shy London girl. She didn't know much about her Father's origins. She'd always known he was a wizard, but hadn't known much about it. She's always been the quietest, the one to lurk about in the corner, but the one who sees everything that goes on. She surprises people with her intelligence and how hard working she is because of her quietness and how reserved she is. She is looking forward to starting Hogwarts, but is extremely nervous, since her Father made it out to be pretty brutal when she received the letter. It's thought her two younger sisters might go to Hogwarts as well when they turn old enough.

Gender:Female
Age: 11
Appearance: long Black hair tied round at the back, almost completely straight, Indian, big dark brown eyes, extremely pretty with long eyelashes, but often looks as if she's shrinking back all the time, a frown seems to be permanantly carved into her face (she also speaks with a slight accent, but it's only small)
Personality: Quiet, but sharp and intelligent, a listener, a little negative, few friends
Class (as in Pure Blood, Half Blood, or Muggleborn): Uhh, it's complicated. I suppose halfblood! (one of her parents is muggleborn, another half-blood)

ooc:
Am I still allowed to join? You see, I am completely new to RPing- and Harry Potter for that matter xD I hope this isn't a Mary-Sue because of her prettiness! But I guess I can imagine her being stunningly pretty

Pashma stood quietly at the back of the hall, somehow by coincidence in the corner. No one was paying any attention to her, but it was something she was used to. On the train, here, no one had even acknowledged her. Anyway, Pashma was too busy drinking in the buzzing atmosphere to consider socialising. She was mesmerized by the bright lights and huge tables. Suddenly, she heard her name being called out

'Miah, Pashma!'
Pashma slowly trudged towards the hat, with it's face only just prominent within its folds. She carefully sat on the stool, as the sorting hat was placed gently on her head.
'Hmm... a goodun. Strong minded, could go far... but too quiet, too quiet. Maybe a little negative, but you'll come far. You're an unsure one aren't you? But you'll learn, you'll certainly learn... RAVENCLAW!'

The room erupted into cheers. Pashma shrugged, without smiling and sat at the table in front of her where the cheers were the loudest, wondering what on Earth was going to happen next.

Gender: Female
Age: 11

Edit -
Kate heard her name called out. She ran up to the creaky old stool, placed the hat on her head and sat down. She would usually have loved sitting on that stool and having everyone look at her but it was a bit awkward when you had a dusty old talking hat on your head. She jumped as the hat called out "Ahh! Confident, Brave and Gryffindor" and blushed as she put the hat back on the stool and ran to the Gryffindor table, unsure of where to sit.

She took a seat next to a small blonde boy she had just seen get placed in the same house. Then faced the front to watch the rest of the children get placed into a house. She was beaming with pride after what the hat had just said and was begginning to show her big headedness amongst the rest on her table.

Kate was twiddling her thumbs again uncomfortably. This was an old habit that she couldn't seem to grow out of. She was sat next to a small blonde boy who was saying how proud his parents would be that he got into Gryffindor.
"Could you please shutup!" Kate suddenly said to him, and quite rudely. "No one really cares..."
The boy looked deeply hurt by it, but didn't really have a reply.
"Thankyou!" Kate hissed at him turning back to face Dumbledore as he was just about to give his famous speech.

ooc - was that ok?

[Spiral_Rose]

OOC: Where are we? Gone for awhile... -_-" My character is okay though, right?

Jolina tried to follow the line of first-years up to the stool, but kept finding herself looking at various objects: the sky, the teacher's table, and most of all, Dumbledore. The man looked back at her with a soft twinkle in his eyes, which made Jolina look away in a rush. She felt her face blush a little, before hearing her name called.
"Jolina Descant!"
She hurried as fast as she could to the stool, and tripped on her own shoes. She fell onto the ground and looked up to see the Slytherins in the farside snickering and everyone else giggling. She brushed herself off, tried to look dignified, and walked up as if she knew what she was doing. The teacher standing there, McGonagal, placed the hat on her Joli's head as she sat down on the stool.
"Hm...brave and fiery," said the hat. "Like Gryffindor. Yet, you say no...then, how about...RAVENCLAW!" Jolina hopped off the platform to let some other poor kid be placed. She hoped her mother would be happy about it; she'd been in Ravenclaw in Hogwarts. Her father knew about Hogwarts and all the magic, though, as much as he was disturbed by it, he approved of Jolina going, if she really wanted to.
Jolina found her way the Ravenclaw table and found a place to sit while everyone around her congratulated her. Her face felt hot, but she had been pretty happy that she'd be accepted like this.

Jolina looked around before watching Dumbledore speak. The famous speech, one that she'd probably have to go to listen to the rest of her years, and yet, she didn't mind. She watched with intrest as the rest of the Ravenclaws did as well. Guess it went with the reputation. All the others, especially Slytherin and some of the Gryffindors, were messing around. She watched with distaste when she saw that some of the Gryffindors weren't even caring about Dumbledore at all.
"Excuse me?" she whispered as soft as she could to the person sitting next to her. "Do people usually mess around during Dumbledore's speech?"
"Only a few," the boy whispered back. "Usually just the Slytherins, and maybe some others." The boy grinned at her. He looked about 3rd or 4th year.
"Thanks," said Jolina. She looked back, interested in what Dumbledore was explaining.

Ooc: Sorry about all the fighting. I have removed the fighting posts and merged Lolo's and Spiral_Rose's posts so that everyone who is going to abide by the rules and post properly can do so.

ooc: Umm...I'm not sure if I should do my sorting or not, but I will anyways...
"Parks,Amelia!" The woman in the green robe called. Ami hurried up the steps and sat on the stool. The sorting hat fell over her eyes so all she saw was blackness.
"Hm...wits. That's for sure...ah. Not suited for Hufflepuff....you're brave...yes. I certainly see bravery...Gryffindore? No...Not Slytherin either...Better be.........RAVENCLAW!" Ami jumped out of the stool, placed the sorting hat back on it, and bounced over to the Ravenclaw table. Yes! She thought. Yes yes! It had always been Ami's dream of getting in to Ravenclaw. She sat down next to a girl that seemed to be a first year. She recognized her to be Jolina from the sorting hat. "Hi." She said cheerily. "I'm Amelia...Call me Ami though." Ami beamed at Jolina and thrusted her hand out.

Ooc: No-one is allowed to be pureblood any more, cuz everyone was saying they were and purebloods are not that common. Please edit it to halfblood or muggleborn. Also, don't double post as it's against the rules.

[Lolo27]

Kate sat up and listened intently to his words. She was trying very hard to listen to what he ws saying, but secretly wishing she could get on with the feast. She greatly admired Dumbeldore, but found it difficult to sit still for even 2 minutes. She kept sitting still though, as to impress the other Gryffindors and look intellectual and nterested.
