SCENERY;; The GREAT HALL

THE FIRST YEARS ENTERED NERVOUSLY TOUCHING UP THEIR APPEARANCE. Ginny noticed a few children tinkering with their hands of robes. Neville jerked his head up at the sound of the creaking doors. It seemed out of all the features improved the doors were not a choice of change.

"They seem nervous. Ron, Harry, because we are in eight year. I think we should welcome them and help them out. You know, with homework and such," Hermione spoke in a mutter at first. Ginny giggled at Harry and Ron's confusion at first. Both boys weren't the brightest with work of any kind.

Headmistress McGonnagal began the ceremony before allowing them to move towards their newly assigned tables. Her hands landed on the wooden table up front where Dumbledore used to stand. It felt as though the spirits of students had lowered into the deep ends of pools.

"Welcome, old, new, I welcome you all to the post-war Hogwarts year! I decided it'd be best for all to have another year of school for the children to relax into, and for that, Hogwarts is for an amount of time holding Eighth years now. I hope this school year will be as normal as possible. Students from around Scotland travel here for a learning experience. I hope to give them just that. A new DADA teacher, Mr Brunner, will be teaching this year with the help of Sir Lupin. Back to the main subject. I am glad to announce that the Ministry has put us, Hogwarts, in charge of hosting our special guests," Minerva spoke happily. She looked around for a few good moments of silence. They stared with interest in response to her silent gaze.

The dark oak doors opened, revealing the not accurate coordinated group of teenage children. An elf like featured boy smiled with two other boys. They wore sweaters with a shirt underneath it, white, with either leggings and a tussled skirt or jeans to go along with it. They hadn't seemed to wear the uniforms on a daily basis making it difficult to handle easily.

They wore a necklace and a hair accessory for girls, with numbers pinned to their shirts and hair pins. The boys had the same except no hair accessory. Only to an extent did a few girls wear no hair accessory for their uncomfortable personalities with them. They all tinkered with the outfits to an extent for a moment before resuming their steady forms.

"The royals. Mr. Brunner is a teacher at the royals' school. So in return for their gratitude he suggests that we play a game they play ever so often. Capture the Flag," Minerva smiled brightly. A ghost subtly glided to them and back over to the headmistress with the group following them.

The girl with blonde hair stood to the headmistress and smiled, "it's a pleasure to have the ability to see what your school is like." She seemed sturdy and confident with herself. Her arms crossed behind her withe ease of unsteadiness from the uncomfortable stares.

Minerva smiled before calling up the first child. "Stoll, Connor" The young brunette smuggled himself up the steps onto the ragged chair. It was sturdy but squeaky when Connor moved around the chair. He seemed to be having fun, that was until it spoke

"Interesting, SLYTHERIN." The hat said. Connor stiffened when he heard the words. Slytherins don't seem to be the most popular and loved in the houses. Connor's face turned grim once no one clapped. A scowl etched into his face as he passed by the other tables.

"Solace, Will"  Minerva McGonagall shouted loudly towards the crowd. The blonde haired boy grumbled multiple words before uncomfortably pulling straight onto the chair. The tension was huge and Will didn't enjoy tensions. He was a doctor and archer
