Occulta Luna

Fountain of crystals

Lacuna Lunae/Headmistress's pov:

"Welcome young ones, this is gonna be your home from now on. You'll of course get to go home during the summer and winter if you want to. But if you wish, you'll also be able to stay at the school when holiday comes around. Now most of you probably didn't think i was your headmistress but i am and as of this year i still am older than any other person or teacher in this room. Im sure some of you are nervous about what's going to happen, you've all heard about the sorting ceremony at this school have you not? We have five houses that you all will be sorted into and represent until the day you graduate." I walked up to the platform in the middle of the room that we had just entered, which was the gathering room for information and otherwise lunch, breakfast and dinner. But on special occasions like the starting day of the year it was used for the sorting ceremony.

All the new students had their eyes fixated on me as i walked to the middle of the platform. My little cat that had been sitting on my shoulder the entire time, jumped off me and walked away. I snapped my fingers and a staff appeared mid air, i grabbed ahold of it and tapped the staff three times on the stone tiles beneath me, the entire room started to creak and groan. In the middle of the platform the circled tile in the middle which had half a moon and half a sun on it split in half, out if it came a medium sized fountain. It was filled with water and the inside was entierly made of crystals.

"Now young ones i need you to form a line, no need to rush or push. Yes just like that, thank you and seems like you're first pretty little girl with the eye-patch... Come up here and tell me your name", the shy girl carefully stepped forward and looked at me with fear and respect. Seems like this one was gonna be a trouble maker in the future. 
"Now, your name please."
"K...K-Kestra Bloodfeather", she mumbled and i smiled.
"Kestra Bloodfeather, you will now be initiated into one of the five houses. Put your hand into the fountain please.", She did as i asked and a dark blue colour started to emerge in the water. A few seconds later the water started to bubble and rise forming itself into a creature. A Hippogriff.
"Well Kestra dear it seems that you've been initiated into the Hippogriffs. The very house that i represent child." I said and young Kestra smiled at me with joy as i turned her around so she faced the other students but also a bit to the left where all the other Hippogriffs students sat.
"The house of Hippogriffs,Hippogriff's love adventures and their freedom. They are very social creatures, although careful when choosing who to befriend or not. Not tolerating being bullied, disrespected or stepped on. Because when you push a Hippogriff to the point where there is no tolerance left, they will hit back and they will hit back hard. The students of the Hippogriff house are very dilligent with their studies but prefer the outdoor classes such as the magical beast classes or the earth magic classes. They get bored easily if not motivated properly, they are never the center of attention like the Nifflers, nor are they that caring about other people like the Demiguises, they aren't as withdrawn or shy as the bowtruckle either and they most enjoy haning with the dragons students since they know that among dragons there will never be a day without an adventure. Although they are usually calm students who cares mostly only about their friends and keep their circle of friends small, not allowing any betrayal." ,I said smiling while nudging her towards the now cheering table telling her to go on and greet them as her new family. Her cute bobcat had not gone unnoticed, all the females from the hippogriff table was all over it as soon as Kestra got there. Protectingly she picked Fleur up and backed away a few inces. 
"Awww look she's protecting it, just like a momma hippogriff",the girls giggled and led Kestra to an empty seat. She looked highly uncomfortable but she would get used to them in a day or two.
"Next little child please"
---
"Lisa Boncleave, you are initiated into the hippogriffs as well.", I guided her towards the hippogriffs
"Next one, c'mon now.. Don't be shy it dosen't hurt little ones." I said and giggled at all the insecure faces.
---
"Now next child please, step forward." I said and smiled there was only four kids left
"The three last ones please line up next to each other instead. As you all know there are four of you left. You will either end up together or separated. Now i know there are four of you that still hasnt been initiated. So tell me your names please, we will start with the young gentleman infront of me. What's your name?", after asking him i inspected the other three. These four looked like as much trouble as the first girl... Kestra Bloodfeather.
"Well.., Go on".
"Millhouse Brightstone, miss", He said with a nervous tone.
"Anuhae, just Anuhea miss", they said with a smile.
"Amaya Melburn, headmistress!", She practically shouted, oh this was a niffler for sure i thought and laughed as i turned to the last boy.
"With that hair and eye colour, let me guess you're a Proatian?", I asked and his face turned completely read.
"Yes miss, It's Killian Proatian.." He practically stuttered and then just continued to blush. I turned to Millhouse and he was blushing as well. But his eyes were focused on Killian, i smiled at the thought that it might be love.
"Ok thank you so much, now lets get on with this so ya'll can get something to eat", All four of them nodded in agreement.
"Millhouse, please put your hand into the fountain and it will reveal which house you'll be initiated to", Millhouse put his hand into the fountain and the water slowly turned into a clear green colour and once again the water started to bubble and rise until it had formed a green bowtruckle out of water.
"Millhouse you've been choosen by the bowtruckles", he removed his hand from the water and turned around to face his housemates.
"The house of Bowtruckles,  Bowtruckles are known to be shy, withdrawn but very attached creatures. They connect alot with what they like and although they seem shy at first, as soon as they are in a comfortable surrounding or around friends they show off another side of themselves. Bowtruckle students are the most introverted students at school, they are hardworkers but always remain as the quiet type. If they have anything to say they will often keep it to themselves.", Millhouse smiled towards his new housemates and a few of the girls there even giggled and cheered on him. Finally happy about having a hot guy joining their house.

"Now..Let's see, Anuhea you're next. Are you ready to see which house you'll be initiated into?."
"Ready? Miss i was born ready!", She said with a finger flicking sass and stepped up upon the platform, put her hand into the water. It turned into a light blue colour with a hint of silver mixed into it and the water created demiguise.
"Oooh, what is that cute little creature!?" Anuhea asked and bent down to take a closer look of the water creature. 
"That my dear.. is a demiguise. The house of Demiguise, Demiguises are wise creatures, quite good at knowing how to hide themselves best. But that does not imply they don't know how to fight. They are some of the most caring creatures and helps/nurse anyone they think needs it or could use it. The students who get's sorted into the House of the Demiguise are the most non selfish people you will meet, they will listen and help you out with any problem you might seem to have. They are also the most shy people in school but are not afraid to stand out if someone is in dire need of help. Most of their rutines is based on being a good model student and not breaking any rules. But that does not imply that they are goody-two shoes.", Anuhea looked very satisfied as she walked towards the demiguise table.

 I chuckled and looked towards Amaya Melbourn.
"Amaya, are you ready?", She nodded and skipped up on the platform and eagerly put her hand into the water and her eyes lit up when the water turned ruby red. the water swirled around shaping itself into a Niffler.
"The Nifflers has chosen you as their initiate Amaya. The house of Nifflers, The niffler is sneaky and not to be underestimated. Despite it's cute looks, it will find every niche, every little opportunity to get the things of their hearts desire. Students that get sorted into the House of Nifflers are often very keen to their surroundings and also very fond of jewelry and clothes. They often have the most popular items and spells, but sometimes they let their greed get the better of them. They are not really that fond of sharing but will if they have to. I mean we can't just leave the weak to fend for themself.", A loud round of applaudes could be heard from the nifflers table. Amaya seemed very happy with what had been chosen for her and instantly bonded with the other Nifflers.

"Killian, you are the last little fledgeling. Will you keep the family tradition of dragons or will you be the start of a new family era?", I exclaimed with a chesire grin on my lips, Killian didn't look at me he just nervously stepped onto the platform slowly moving closer to the fountain. He was red up to his ears but hid it well by looking down on the floor. Killian closed his eyes and put his hand into the water which quickly turned into gold with a hint of sunset orange in it and the water swirled and bubbled shaping itself into an elegant dragon with the Proatian shield on it's chest.
"Seems like traditions are going to hold, Killian open your eyes. The dragon has chosen you.", I said and gave him a quick pat on the shoulder he breathed out in relief.
"The house of dragons, Dragons are fierce and fiery creatures of habit, that isn't a thing to deny. They see what they want and get what they want. Nothing and nobody can distract or prevent any plan to get what they want, be it a stupid plan or not. A dragon lives a bit after the motto to: fight first, ask questions later. They put their energy and effort into everything they do, either you do it and succeds or you do it and fail trying to do it. The students who get sorted into the House of Dragons are the most stubborn and trouble making students in school, but if you befriend a dragon you know you will have a friend who will let you in on all the stupidest but the most funny plans in the entire school. The dragon students tend to have a loud mouth and always spouting nonsens.", A roar of cheering could now be heard in the entire hall. He's a part of the dragons alright. I clapped my hands three times and all the talking and cheering stopped.

"I will now introduce you to your house dormitory leaders." I said and five teachers stood up from their seats, each wearing the symbol of the house they represented on their robes.
"First for the Hippogriffs, we have Lulu she will also be teaching you both magickal and physical defence against both dark arts and attackers. Next up we have the Dragons, your dormitory leader will be Mr.Deansell, he will also be teaching you about all the magickal beasts. Next up is the Demiguises your dormitory leader is Lucem, she is going to teach you all about our magickal history and possible futures. Onwards we have the Bowtruckels, your dormitory leader is Seíren, she will be teaching you all about the five elements and their magick. Last but not least the Nifflers. Your dormitory leader is Julié, she will also be your potions and scrying teacher.", It all got quiet and i nodded to let the teachers know that they could sit down.
"Now, let's begin lunch shall we?". I got a loud cheering in agreement from all the five tables.
