The Beginning
The Sorting Ceremony, the feeling of the hat placed upon her head, the tour of the common room, everything was becoming real! Astoria was now a Hogwarts student and she was a proud student of Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff was not a surprise to her. The odd thing was, she wasn't disappointed with the sorting either. Would she have liked to been in Ravenclaw like her mother? Of course but something felt perfect about being sorted into Hufflepuff!
She had watched during the ceremony that her new found friends, Camillia and Zelda were each sorted too and while her and Zelda were sorted into the same house, Astoria couldn't wait to meet with the both of them and talk about the feelings each of them truly had when that leather hat was placed upon them.
Her fears of Hogwarts were slowly diminishing and since there was still enough time to visit some of the familiar places on the ground floor of the school, Astoria rushed back to the Great Hall in hopes that her new friends would be there. She had a certain gleam in her eye that made everything feel just right. The world felt warm to her. The fear of being away from her parents died away during the time being.

The Beginning
Her heart raced one she was sorted into Hufflepuff. She couldn't wait to begin her newest adventure. When Carmillia was sorted into Ravenclaw, her heart pounded. She waited for the feast to begin. Once the food appeared she began to dig in.
Once the tour was concluded she ran over to Astoria, her eyes beaming. "I can't wait till we start our classes!" She exclaimed. "Sucks that Milly was put in Ravenclaw..." She sighed. "Well, I'm stuffed and tired. Maybe we can unpack, sleep, and in the morning, meet up with Milly." She yawned, walking with Astoria.
She tried to hide the fact her anxiety was shooting through the roof. She looked around, the moving pictures, un-nerving her.
Ehrm..... These photos' won't stop staring...
She sighed, looking at the levitating candles in the Great Hall. "Heh..." She looked around. She spotted a few other first years. Two from Slytherin, and one from Ravenclaw. It was Carmillia! "Hey, Milly!" She called, her eyes glazed with joy. She ran up and hugged Carmillia My god Zelda. "So, Have you made any friends in Ravenclaw, at dinner?" She asked, The pictures all smiling at the students. A ghost passed through the walls. She gazed at the ghoul, her eyes shimmered with amazement.

"Erhm... not really...""So, Have you made any friends in Ravenclaw, at dinner?"
The new Ravenclaw hadn't made any friends, it was true. She hadn't made enemies of course, but Zelda and Astoria remained her only friends. So much was happening, the magic around her was just... unbelievable. Only now did Hogwarts seem real and not some crazy dream. Ghosts, levitating candles, magic doors, the Sorting Hat! Everything around Carmillia amazed her. Speaking of the Sorting Hat, Milly was having trouble wrapping her head around her placement. She was sure she was a Hufflepuff... She loved animals, and was beyond excited to see magical creatures, even if she wouldn't be able to interact with them for a couple of years. Her own mother was a Hufflepuff before she passed away. She was loyal, and dedicated but... she did love learning, and could easily be found in the library, her nose in a book. And she did value individuality and loved to make witty and clever remarks. It wasn't as if Milly was disappointed to be in Ravenclaw, just... surprised. And anyone who knew Milly would know that she hates surprises. Besides, she would miss Zelda and Astoria, already feeling like the odd one out. Well, she should value the time they did have together, and she had time now! Milly put on a smile and scrambled for a conversation starter. "Do we have any classes together? I just got my schedule, I've got Herbology first thing..." The redhead rattled off the already memorized classes, before pausing at Defense Against the Dark Arts. "The Dark Arts sounds scary... I don't really know what it is, but I guess I'll find out, right?"

The Beginning
Zelda and Astoria were lucky to have been sorted into the same house together. It was nice knowing at least one another person she had met and was comfortable with was in her house but unfortunately, it was sad to see that Milly was not placed with them.
Zelda and Astoria were reunited and together they were thrilled and excited. Zelda had mentioned that she couldn't wait to start classes. "Neither can I! I just hope we have classes with Milly. Not only were we separated, but I do hope that we have classes together!" she then added "We need to compare our schedules so we know when each other will be free to spend time together."
Soon, the duo was reunited with Milly. "Milly! How does it feel being in Ravenclaw?" Astoria asked eagerly "I think it would have been a cool house to be part of but for some reason, I'm thrilled to be in Hufflepuff. Either way, our magical journey is beginning!"
Milly began to tell Astoria and Zelda about her class schedule. Astoria was able to see it posted on the bulletin board in their common room but she actually wrote down on a piece of parchment her own copy of the schedule. With her luck, she would miss every class for the first few weeks. "Let's see here, according to our schedule, it looks like we have Potions first..." then she turned to Zelda I think I'm reading that correctly. Right? Potions first?" Milly had also mentioned the Dark Arts class. Dark Arts? She looked at her schedule "It looks like it's Defense Against the Dark Arts, that doesn't sound too bad...right?" Let's be honest, what type of school would teach true dark arts to students in their first year?
"I'm particularly interested in Astronomy. It looks like we have all three have that class on Wednesday..." Astoria looked at the time "At midnight! How could would that be! To see the night sky in the tallest tower of Hogwarts!"

Reducio
When Carmillia referred to the Defense Against Dark Arts, she meant she didn't know what the Dark Arts were, so she was curious as to what she would be defending herself against. She has no clue about 'villains' like Voldemort and Grindelwald, evil creatures like boggarts, and dangerous curses, and is scared at the thought of magic being used in dark and evil ways. She is aware they are not learning Dark Arts, as she is an avid reader and not likely to miss such a vital context clue. 
Carmillia smiled, and gave a vague answer about belonging there. The trio compared classes, and Carmillia circled all the shared classes with a quill pen, splattering the page with ink blots as she did. "Why can't we use pens like people from this century?" she muttered. Even as Milly complained, she knew she secretly liked the aesthetic."Milly! How does it feel being in Ravenclaw?
"I don't know, that seems late...""I'm particularly interested in Astronomy. It looks like we have all three have that class on Wednesday..." "At midnight! How could would that be! To see the night sky in the tallest tower of Hogwarts!"
As much as Milly admired the creatures, she was not a night owl. Therefore, Astronomy was not a class she was looking forward to. Carmillia shrugged. "I suppose I'm looking forward to Charms most, but Herbology sounds fun too!" oh no this is just gonna be small talk if we dont stir up some drama soon, uhh... pull out your wand or something, Milly! "Speaking of charms... I obviously haven't had a lesson yet, but I was reading a bit, and I think I know how to do a Levitation Charm..."
I'm going to embarrass myself aren't I? But I did make that feather fly a bit earlier! But what if that was just a draft? It was probably just a draft... but what if it wasn't? Arghhhhhhhhh! Okay, I guess I'll just wait for their response. If they aren't interested, then that's fine, but if they are, I better try...
