Sean walked into the Great Hall with his head down. The counter in the Entrance Hall for hufflepuff ticked down to 0 as he had lost all points for his house with one word. He was a prefect and yet he still lost points. He was cursing the Slytherins in his mind as he headed to the table and sat down near the end.
He didnt even bother looking up for the one he had been looking at all night. The Hufflepuffs noticed the coutner go back to 0 as they all began to whisper to eachother.

Cody pushed open the doors from the Entrance Hall, and walked majestically into the Great Hall, with Sean and the rest of the Hufflepuffs following him. That was his favorite part of being the welcoming squad.
The old man quickly ascended the steps, of the dias on which the staff table was, and found his place next to Professor Berton. "Good day, Ladies and Gentlemen." He said nodding to each of the teacher's. "You are all looking spectacular!"

"Cody. How are the students? They seem well from what I can see. And yourself? How are you?" he asked greeting the man with a shake of the hand and a pat on the back as he beamed at him. His glasses slipping slightly down his nose as he pushed them back up.

Cody smiled and shook the professor's hand. "Well, they are rambunxious as ever, Knelb. But over-all they should prove to be good, as usual. I'm fine, thanks. Yourself? How was your holiday?" He said, looking over the rim of his glasses.

Ariel lead her house into the Great Hall. All houses were in but Slytherin, who were just behind them. Quickly she found a herself a good seat, near the middle of the table. She watched as her housemates began to sit around her. She chatted with another Gryffindor friend of hers beside her about what the year might be like and if they would win the House and Quidditch cup. Looking at the Ravenclaw table, she spotted the girl she talked with before entering. She continued talking to her friend.

Sean laughed as Cody talked about the children. "Im great. Holiday was well also. Relaxing at home. Yourself?" He asked as he winked to a few familar faces as they walked in and he smiled but turning back to Cody to listen if he would speak again.

Cody smiled and nodded. "Good show. I had box-side tickets to the Quidditch World Cup. Netherlands versus Bavaria. Wonderful show, wonderful, indeed. But, old friend, it appears you are needed to give a speech!" Cody said, his eyes dancing.

His eyes lit up at the sound of the quidditch world cup. "How exciting that must have been!" He said but then he turned around and noticed everyone was seeted in their respectful seats.
"Yes I belive it is time." He said over the loud buzz and chatter of the students talking vigerously with others about the summer, classes, and everything else young adults talk about.
Knelb stood up from his chair and cleared his throught with his hands placed at his side. He hoped everyone would see him standing as they sure did not hear him clear his throught. Not like he expected them to. He simply smiled as he waited patiently for the queit to arise across the crowd.

Ariel signalled those around her to stop talking or she would take action. The second and third years immediatly quited down, and a few fourths, but the fifths and such that knew her better knew she wouldn't do such a thing. She signalled her chattering friends to quiet down, the Headmaster was waiting. She took a deep breath. She knew any minute her stomach would start growling, so she hoped the speech would be short. Quidditch went in her mind, and that took it off food.

Amelia, having given up her search, had now taken a book from her pack and was occupying herself with it. One of her favourite passtimes, reading went everywhere with her and she was now reading a novel by a muggle author entitled Inkheart. A enrapturing fantasy, she could barely keep her eyes away from the pages and glanced up only now and again to see when the feasting part of the evening was actually to begin.
As the headmaster rose from his seat Amelia marked her page carefully and closed the heavy book, placing it back in her bag where she could retreive it later if need be. Looking down her table to ensure all were paying respectful attention, she turned to the old man in silence.

Sean who was sitting at the end was looking down at his feat when he began to ehar the room quiet. He looked up and saw the Headmaster standing up. He quickly scanned their table and only had to stare at one kid to be quiet. Everyone else quieted down as a result of bieng so hungry. Seans stomach growled.
Make it quick... He thought as he looked up at the Professor and the rest of them getting a good look for his first time.

The Headmaster waited until the entire hall was quieted of chatter. He smiled widley as he clapsed his hands togethher infront of him and then opend them up with open palms.
"Welcome! Its nice to see you all. I assume everyone had a wonderfull vacation as did I. Its good to see all you familiar faces as it is fantastic to see the new ones who have come here." He said as he turned and looked down at all the first years who sat in the front.
"This year will be filled with learning and joyful times. We all may have those bad days or times but the good ones are plentyfull. We will look forward to the quidditch season, common room parties." He said as he looked over at a few boys he were known for the parties. He gave them a joyfull wink.
"3rd year's can look forward to experiencing their first hogsmeade trips while others will go back to familiar places. And of course we have school work and exams to look forward to!" He said sarcastically as he gave a small chuckle.
"These are tiems when friends are needed so stick with those you are close to and branch out to be with others. Friendship is one of lifes most powerfull abilities and we need to use it. Lets hope everyone stays safe and has a wonderfull term this year. But before I finish I am just going to remind everyone that they need to head to their common rooms right after the feast. Follow your prefects." he said as he quickly glanced over a few of the schools prefects.
"Now I know even the nicest of you all are all yelling in your heads for me to finish. Even my hunger is climbing. So with that! Let the feast begin and lets have a wonderfull year!" He said as he snapped his fingers just in time as the hundreds of plates of food scatterd across the tables. The goblets filling with pumpkin juice and other liquids. The first years stared in amazement as the other years reached for the food like hungry wolves.
Knelb smiled birhgtly as he watched over the studetns as their faces lit up as they began to satisy their hungers. He took a seat and as the staf members food appeard infrnt of them he chuckles to himself.
"Thats always alot of fun." He said with another chuckle as he took a sip of his wine.

Ariel grabbed at the food, but not like a ravaging beast like some third years down the table. Immediatly chatter and conversations were resumed by those with mouths that weren't too full of food. Ariel chatted lightly with her friend between bites. She was starving. Takind a sip of pumpkin juice she washed down whatever crums and such were stuck in her mouth. Tonight her dorm mates and herself were going to stay up late partying most likely and catching up. She would be tired in the morning....

Elias Moore strode into the Great Hall and wondered around just walking and thinking about the newcomers to hogwarts. Another wonderful year at hogwarts. He thought to himself noticing Professor Berton calming everyone down. He stopped and listened as the headmaster spoke. Then he took a seat at the ravenclaw table and begin eating slowly. It's delicous. Elias thought to himself.

"Hope you've got a healthy appetite," Amelia said to the Ravenclaw across from her, a fellow quidditch member and from what she had seen a fairly friendly person, "you'll need it for all the practices we're going to have. You're keeping skills still as good as ever?" She asked, placing a bit of the pudding onto her plate along with a piece of chicken.
