The first week of classes passed in what felt like a blur. The Gingerpuffs were preparing for our first meeting and I was excited to see how many of the new recruits actually showed up on time and made it inside the ROR. I'd scheduled the meeting for noon, wanting to give everyone plenty of time to wake up before showing up. I got there around 10, wanting to set up and make sure everything was perfect. The Ravenclaw initiates were obviously the first to show up. All 5 of them show up together, the 2 blondes leading the way. "Luna, Megan, it's nice to see you" I say, hugging them before stepping back and smiling at the other 3. A red headed boy steps forward first. "I'm Noel Rogers" he says, offering his hand for me to shake. I shake his hand before smiling at the other two. "You must be Destiny and Jalen. It's so nice to finally meet you all" I say, showing them to the tables with food so they can snack while we wait on the others. They grab snacks and sit down, talking amongst themselves until the next group show up. They look nervously at the door when it opens again. The Hufflepuffs walk in and immediately I spot the leader. He's a bit taller than the others, a bit lanky with shoulder length black hair and bright blue eyes. "I'm Ezra, this is River, Corey, Lacey, and Hugo" he says. The kid in the back rolls his eyes. "I can introduce myself" he grumbles and I laugh. "It's nice to meet everyone. Snacks are on the far table, sit wherever" I say. They head to get snacks and I frown a bit when I see everyone seems to be sitting with their individual houses. I don't have time to say anything before there's a commotion at the door and I see 10 people come in at once. There's some shouting and I loudly clear my throat and everyone freezes. "Gryffindors on my left, Slytherins on my right. Now" I say and I see a short curly haired girl roll her eyes. "This wasn't even about the houses, it was about the person. Who has a right to talk to whoever she wants" she says and Ginny nods, standing with the Gryffindors. I frown. "Oh... Who had a problem then?" I ask and she points at the 2 girls in Slytherin who I nod. "Lauren, Veronica is there an issue?" I ask and they scoff. "Yeah, it's called Ginny is being a traitor and needs to learn where her loyalties lie" Lauren says. I roll my eyes. "In the gingerpuffs we encourage loyalty to ALL of Hogwarts, not just your specific house. We have a very strict policy on accepting each other and quite honestly I don't think you two belong here. Goodbye" I say, pointing to the door. The room is silent and I smile at the new recruits still in front of me. "Brendon, it''s lovely to meet you" I say to the only Slytherin recruit I hadn't met yet. He offered a slight smile and I felt bad, knowing he was worried he'd be judged by his housemates. "I promise you I won't judge you by those girls. Daphne and Ginny are 2 of my friends and I don't discriminate in any way by others actions around you. You're your own person" I say softly. He relaxes, going with the girls to get snacks while I turn to the Gryffindors. "Collin, can you introduce your housemates?" I ask and he nods nervously. "Addison is the one who talked to you, she goes by Addie. Noah is the brown haired one in the back, Lexia is the long haired girl, and Marcus is the blonde one" he says and I smile. "Lovely to meet you all. There's about 5 minutes until the others all show up, the official members. You are the recruits-" I am interrupted by the door opening and 3 more people walking in. "Sorry we're late, Ron couldn't find his invite" Hermione says, glaring at him as he blushes. I roll my eyes. "Sit, please" I say and they all 3 rush to sit down. "As I was saying, you are all recruits. Me and the fellow members of the Gingerpuffs will be watching you from now until Halloween, judging your character, personality, and just overall abilities to help on future missions. There are 21 of you in this room right now and by Halloween we will be choosing 10. There will be tasks assigned to you to test your abilities to fit our overall vibe. May the odds be ever in your favor" I say, smirking. I look around the room and can't help but laugh a bit. I see faces ranging from fear to shock, a few excited, but overall nobody seems sure of themselves. "Relax, guys. I'm not sending you on life-risking missions" I say as the door opens and people start showing up. The room is soon full and I smile, getting everyone's attention. "The first task for our initiates will test your abilities to work together. I'm splitting everyone up into groups of 3 and one group of 4, 2 initiates and a member in each. In order to test your ability to put your house aside for Gingerpuff meetings you are trying to make a crest for the group. It'll be a fun symbol we can use for the future for posters" I say and everyone smiles. I split everyone up, keeping each group with only one person from each house. The golden trio started to protest when I split them between 3 groups but they thought better of it when I glared at them. "We'll meet again in a week to show crests off and eliminate one initiate" I say and everyone blinks at me. "Don't give me that look, you all know it needs done" I say and the members nod. "It's not easy being the leader, it's why I was chosen" I say, flipping my hair as I leave the room.
