Welcome to Ilvermorny (Indefinite Hiatus)

Welcome to Ilvermorny

Sam's POV

I awoke to Locke, standing in his robes, shaking me awake, "time to get up sleeping beauty." He laughs as I get up and rub my eyes. 

"Are we here?" I ask as I straighten out my robes.

"Yep!" He smiles widely, "and we are going to be late if we don't hurry."

I jumps to my feet immediately and run out the door pushing through the students to get out of the train, "First years come with me!" I hear an old man shout. I head over to him and look around. I saw a few people that stand out; one was a blond boy with green eyes that seemed very closed off and shy, a girl with silky and wavy black hair that seemed to be very serious, and a girl with shortly cut blond hair, she seemed to be the center of attention for she was being friendly to everyone. Just then Locke caught up with me.

"Dude seriously?" He asks seemingly angry that I left him.

"Sorry I got excited." I blush sheepishly.

"Alright new students let's go!" The man shouted as we all followed her. The entrance hall was amazing! It was a mostly empty room aside from the statue in four parts of it and the balcony over head where everyone else stood.

"Alright students," the old man began, "I am professor Agilbert Fontaine, the head master at Ilvermorny. But you don't really care about that." he laughs. "Lets get on with the sorting shall we?" That was followed by cheers from everyone, "I will call your names one by one and you will stand in the center of the room here, everyone else stick to the walls, when you stand in the middle the house that you will fit in with's statue will come to life. If more than one house wants you, you will have to pick. When everyone is done we will head to get you your wands. Now without further ado let's begin." he pulls out a long piece of parchment. "Silvia Adams." he says in a loud voice. A mousy looking girl walks nervously to the center, just then the Pukwudgie raised its bow into the air and the headmaster shouted, "Pukwudgie!" Which was followed by applause,  the routine repeated as they went down the list. "Locke Tenebris!" Locke gave me a smirk as he walked to the center of the room. Suddenly three status came to life; the Horned Serpent, the Thunderbird, and the Wampus. 

"Hmm what shall I pick," he says out loud, "I don't want to be with a certain sister of mine, so Thunderbird is out of the question. I'm not much for books sooo I choose Wampus!" He shouted. There were more applause followed by a few shouts from Lace saying that she didn't want him in her house anyway.

"And finally, Sam Thomas!" All eyes were on me now. I felt a bit nervous as I walked to the center of the room. I closed my eyes hoping for the best. I heard a roar and the movement of stone, I looked around the room, I could either be Pukwudgie or Wampus. The decision wasn't that hard to make considering I knew someone on Wampus but no one on Pukwudgie. "I choose Wampus!" I say loudly enough for the rest of the building to hear. There is more applause but less enthusiastic than the first, mainly because people were tiered, but it was hardly noticeable.
"Good choice buddy." Locke pats me on the back, "now we can crush my sister together!" He smiles.

"I'm not really going to be doing many sports and I doubt my grades will be good enough to over shadow a third year." I say as we head to the wand room.

"Don't say tha-" Locke stops as he looks around the endless shelves of wands, "whoa this cool!" 

"Now students find a professor to help you find your wand!" Headmaster Fontaine shouted as the students ran in all directions.

I found myself pacing the shelves looking for a wand. I got a weird feeling and opened a box, in it lay a solid white wand, it was straight with a pretty design on it. I picked it up and flicked it, the box I took it out of closed itself and went back on the shelf, "that is the wand for you, most definitely." a man with brown hair and blue eyes walked towards me, "let's see what it's made of shall we?" He puts out his hand and I place the wand in it, "hmm yes okay then, it is ten inches long made of ashen wood with a wampus hair core, it is also very rigid." He states putting it back in my hand, "Good choice, oh right, I'm professor Blake Smith I am your combat magic teacher. I will see you in class." He then turns around and walks off.

After everyone had their wands pick them we all met up near the exit, "so what is your wand made of?" Locke asks me when he finds me.

"Aspen, ten inches, wampus hair, rigid." I say, "You?"

He shrugs, "Sycamore, eleven inches, wampus hair, quite bendy" he says. 

"Now to the great hall for some food!" Headmaster Fontaine says, "You must be starving." 

We entered a large room with four tables and a large post that had the name of a house written on it at the end of each table, the Thunderbird post had a glowing red line at the top of it, the walls were made of cobblestone and the floor seemed to be a constant changing mosaic. Locke and I sat down at the Wampus table and began to eat the large amount of food there, "try the chicken it's delicious." I hear a voice to my side say. I look over to see Grace, the popular girl, she was another student that got more than one statue.

"I'm Grace." She says reaching for my hand.

"I'm Sam." I say shyly shaking her hand.

"So you, your friend, and I were the only ones given multiple offer and we all chose Wampus. This is going to be fun!" She smiled, brushing her blond hair out of her face.

"Yo dude you going to eat that?" Locke says with his mouth full, pointing to the food on my plate.

"Yes." I say stabbing his hand with a fork as he reaches for it anyway.

"OW!" He pulls his hand back, "Dude. Really? In front of the hot one?" He points at Grace.

She laughs, "You boys are ridiculous." 

"Why thank you." Locke bows his head.

"Now let's get everyone to their houses." The headmaster said to all of us, "if the first years would follow your respective prefects you will get to your houses. Good night everyone." At that the headmaster walked away.

"Wampus follow me!" I heard a boy shout as we all started to follow him. We walked through a wide range of corridors when we finally reached a door with a carving of a wampus on it, "Gillyweed." The perfect says at the door. It growls then opens. "This year's passwords revolve around herbology. The passwords change once a month so be sure to check the list to make sure you know the password." As we file into the common room i see a variety of different things; rows of tables to work on, some sofas in front of a fire place, and a bay window . "This is the common room. In here you will be able to hangout, work on assignments, etcetera." He then walks to a set of spiral staircases one leading up the other leading down, "girls go up, boys go down, there are seven floors and three room per floor, so you will be sharing rooms, you know with your respective genders." I can't help but laugh to myself. This was clearly his first time doing this and he didn't know how to explain everything. 

"Well you are all probably tiered so you can head to your rooms, the higher slash lower you go the higher the year so that means you will be on the first floor each." I shrug and head down the stairs and into one room I see my suitcase sitting on one bed and I lay down on it.

"What up Sammy boy." Locke says laying down on the bed next to mine.

"Not much just tired." I say sleepily.

"Yeah me too." Locke yawns, "night dude."

"Night." I say as I change into my pajamas and go to sleep.
