As Dinah sat down at her new table with the other first years, she looked over to the Gryffindor table in search of her brother. Sure enough, there he was giving her a smug smile as if to say 'I told you so, sis'.
Shaking her head she turned back around and started putting food onto her plate.
Can't wait to see the library! Dinah squealed in her head.
(Jonah Lynch)
After giving his sister the smile Jonah started piling food onto his plate and talking to the other first years. He couldn't wait to begin classes, mostly because his trunk was filled with items from Weasley's Wizard Weases and so he was going to be practicing his pranking in hopes of becoming the next Fred or George. His sister had no faith in that, though.

"Hello," I said and extended a hand to shake. He took it then shook it, "Names Nick."
"Jonah," He said.
"So aren't you gonna eat your food," I asked eyeing his untouched food.
"Oh yeah," he took a large piece of chicken and plopped it in his mouth, immediately several faces came from bad tastes. "This food is terrible."
"No the food is not to blame, but me. I had the barf powder on my hand from the F and G W prank shop. And it makes all food putrid tasting."
"So you prank to."
"Of course, sense I could walk. My best one is I filled a bunch of balloons with creamed and rotted spinach and then they fell on everyone. I did it before I left. What is your best."

That's fine. In fact, great. Also, if you wouldn't mind posting which house your character's in next to their name, that would clear a lot of confusion.

Kori stumbled down from the seat in which the talking hat was, and towards the table of clapping people. Some welcomed her to the house; one even ruffled her hair. She looked cross-eyed at her bedraggled red hair. She'd have to fix that later. For now ...
Kori looked around for an familiar faces-- maybe someone she'd seen on the train. Nope. None at all.
Feeling slightly down, she found a seat on the end and started piling food onto it. Wait ... wasn't hufflepuff known to be wimps?

Olivia searched for an empty spot in the dining hall. An outgoing person like her never had trouble making friends. But, this school was completely different. Everyone seemed so much smarter then her.
She noticed a girl with short, auburn hair and saw nobody was sitting by her. There weren't many other open spots so she sat down. "Hi," she said perkily. "I'm Olivia."
"Hello," the girl replied. "I'm Dinah."
Olivia looked down at the food and took a small bite, "This doesn't taste very good."
"My sister and I planted fireworks underneath a Muggle toilet" Jonah told him, pushing his plate away from him.
"Nice. And your sister is...?" Nick asked.
"Dinah Lynch, she's in Hufflepuff. But, don't think that since she is a Huffy means that she is a wimpy bookworm, infact my sister is a metamorphic" Jonah said proudly and with a smile.
""Hey, boltageman. Can I claim your character for Dinah?**
(Dinah Lynch: Hufflepuff)
"It really does" Dinah told the girl named Olivia after she stopped laughing. Looking down at her hands Dinah noticed her fingernail's apparent nail polish color change from a light purple to a dark blue.
"Hey, how'd you do that?" Olivia asked.
"Oh... I'm metamorphic" Dinah said, slipping her hands into the pockets of her cloak.

Ruby breathed a sigh of relief as she sat down at the Gryffindor table. She couldn't help but smile and blush as her fellow housemates clapped her on the back and congratulated her. For as long as her family could be traced back in Wizardry, each had been sorted into Gryffindor, with the exception of a few Ravenclaws and a Hufflepuff. She hoped that she would feel right at home there.
Ruby scooped large portions of food onto her plate, completely famished from the day's excitement. She began to listen to others conversations around her and occasionally putting in a word or two herself, but Ruby mainly occupied herself with thoughts of the upcoming events at Hogwarts. She was excited about the idea of learning how to use magic and silently prayed that she would be able to cast a decent spell. Ruby slipped her new wand out of her pocket and began spinning it between her fingers. It smelled faintly of roses and fit perfectly in her grip. She pictured the wand becoming a broomstick and flying high above the ground, the ground rushing below as it easily cut sliced through the air.
When would they begin flying lessons?

"That is amazing!" Oliva exclaimed. "I wish I could do that! So are you glad you're in Hufflepuff? I didn't think I would be a Hufflepuff but I guess that's what they thought I'd be best for. I don't think of myself as wimpy but..." Olivia paused. "Sorry for my babbling," she laughed.
"Oh, no! You're not babbling, babbling is what my brother does. He'll go on and on and on about how he is so good with pranks, but really they end in epic failure" Dinah told Olivia with a smile on her face and Olivia laughed.
"So, can you do other things with your metamorphic abilities?" she asked me and Dinah nodded. "Like what?".
Dinah smiled and as two cats ears popped onto her head, her real ears dispeared. "Like grow cat ears!" she said and giggled a bit while she shook her head to get the cats ears away and hers back.

I walked calmly to my table and sat amongst the throng of black and blue robes that I wood soon have. My mother had been Ravenclaw in her year so I was happy to be in the house I knew most about. According to my mom, Gryffindor were snobs, Slytherines were evil, and Huffelpuffs were the left overs. I didn't have such a black and white view on life as my mom did.
I sat next to one of the other first years in my house and introduced myself.
*Someone from my house can post here*
This is one little planet in one tiny solar system in a galaxy that’s barely out of its diapers. I’m old, Dean. Very old. So I invite you to contemplate how insignificant I find you.
Oh God, Slytherin! Dad is going to kill me! Was I really thinking bad things? I knew how the sorting hat worked. I heard his voice inside my head. Searching through my thoughts and deepest secrets.
I needled through my food. I loved this tables! The food just appeared from thin air. My knowledge told me it wasn't exactly like that, but in a combination of my imagination and excitement, I liked to believe it was like that. I was sitting next to a boy, a first year too. He was deep into his thoughts too.
"Hey, I'm Johanna", I said.
"Jack", he said.
Piglet: How do you spell love? Pooh: You don't spell it. You feel it.
"What you mean by metamorphic. Does her face change?" I asked
"No just her nails change color," He told me.
"Thats kind of lame, but wha eva. You happy to be in Gryffindor."
"Of course, who wouldn't."
"Me, sort of. My parents wanted me to be in ravenclaw, like them. But Gryffindor is awesome to, Harry Potter was here. And the Weasley twins, I got a tip from George Weasley himself. He said he hide something in the school. And he gave me a hint where. So want to come and hunt with me for it after dinner," I asked him.
