Hufflepuff:
Why? Well, his quirky personality was only the start of it, but actually Oliie fits straight into the category of a Hufflepuff, he's loyal, trustworthy, patient and level headed.

Equipment/Pets
[b]Wand:[/b]: He's named his wand
Wood: Apple: "Applewood wands are not made in great numbers. They are powerful and best suited to an owner of high aims and ideals, as this wood mixes poorly with Dark magic. It is said that the possessor of an apple wand will be well-loved and long-lived, and I have often noticed that customers of great personal charm find their perfect match in an applewood wand. An unusual ability to converse with other magical beings in their native tongues is often found among apple wand owners."

Pet
Oliver fell in love with his bird the minute he saw her, he ended up naming her Allie.
Owl [see picture]

Appearance
Oliver is a very awkward boy, he is in the current stages of severe growth spurts which causes him to be unbalanced at times. He is rail thin, with a long face and deep brown eyes with green speckles thrown in; he also has very messy red hair. Oliver is very doe-eyed most of the time, growing up around magic, he was always very energetic to learn new things and Hogwarts has blown his twelve year old brain sideways.
Height: 5' or so, a little less
Weight: 110 pounds
Clothing: Normally Oliver is sporting some sort of plaid shirt, while not in his robes, and jeans that are a bit big and he is 'growing into'.

Personality
Oliver was raised on fantasy stories, and an energetic lifestyle. His father and mother were both students at Hogwarts when they were young and Oliver is more than thrilled to be attending now. Oliver is a caring soul and would help anybody who might need it. Growing up Oliver was raised as a normal kid, he loved playing pretend out in the backyard for hours, and he loved creating his own world. Oliver is extremely creative, he loves to build structures with blocks, solve puzzles, play chess, take photography, and stay in the library and read.

During class Oliver is usually attentive and ready to learn, he is extremely intelligent, but often gets distracted by his eagerness and he ends up getting ahead of himself. He is quirky, and silly, nothing really phases him or gets him down. He is extremely happy-go-lucky. He ends up daydreaming a lot and getting lost in thought; he's also extremely hyper so a lot of his thoughts get jumbled up and this causes him to stutter and backtrack a lot while in conversation. The stuttering causes him to become anxious and frustrated with himself.

Likes

Fantasy novels
Animals - especially Allie
Writing stories
Learning and practicing his magic
Meeting new people - Oliver loves meeting new people, although many think him odd because his thoughts are too deep, or too abstract.

Dislikes

Being made fun of
When his thoughts move faster than he can speak
Rule Breaking - For a long time Oliver has never thought rule breaking was cool, or necessary. He believes firmly rules are there for a reason and that we should respect that fact.
Dangerous situations - Anything that might cause anxiety makes Oliver freeze.
When he is scolded - Due to Oliver's kind hearted nature, he tends to get stepped on by other kids; they get him to do their homework, or a project. Great plan, get the smart kid, loyal, kid to do whatever they want, right? Wrong, Oliver cannot lie, and teachers know his style all too well so when the kid who pushed him into doing their work hands in the paper, the teacher knows that Oliver wrote it and Oliver normally ends up getting scolded along with the other children who were apart of it.

Family
His father, Gregory Strattenburg, is a broom maker for some of the best Quidditch teams.
His mother, Avery Strattenburg, normally stays at home and takes care of Oliver's younger sisters Darcie (age 3) and Evangeline (a year old).

Friends
Will Add as the RP begins

Enemies
Oliver would hate to make any enemies, he tries to avoid mean looking people and stick to his guns on good vs bad influences at the school.

So begins...

"Hello, new witches and wizards, and welcome to a new year. I am your Headmaster, you can call me Mr. Utelias. I know for sure this year will be a great year, and I sure do expect great things from our first years." Felix looks around the room to see everyone already starting to get extremely bored.

"There's nothing else required I have to say, and it seems as you young fellow aren't interested and want to cut straight to sorting, so let's get to it!" Felix signals Ms. McGonagall to come over with the Sorting Hat, to begin sorting the children into their houses.

"Now now children, first come first serve, who is up first?" Felix chuckles as kids start to line up.

Ollie Strattenburg

To say the least, Oliver's expirience so far at Hogwarts was nothing short of amazing. Everything so far had been true to his parents word. A man stepped forward, his voice breaking the constant chatter that filled the air.

"Hello, new witches and wizards, and welcome to a new year. I am your Headmaster, you can call me Mr. Utelias. I know for sure this year will be a great year, and I sure do expect great things from our first years. There's nothing else required I have to say, and it seems as you young fellow aren't interested and want to cut straight to sorting, so let's get to it!"

The man's voice boomed over the rest of the students, and Ollie's eyes widened with an eager flame dancing behind them. He had been told stories about the magic hat, and it's quirky ways, and he was excited.

"Now now children, first come first serve, who is up first?"

As the other students went up first, Oliver watched closely as each were placed into a different house. Oliver wasn't sure what house to expect, maybe he would follow his father as a Gryffindor, brave and proud; or maybe he would follow his mother to a more knowledgeable route as a Ravenclaw. Or maybe neither. He knew one thing though, Slytherine already gave him the heebie jeebies.

"Oliver Strattenburg." As his thoughts took him away, he realized he was next.

Taking a big gulp of air in, he inched towards the Hat.

"Come on now, don't be shy. The Hat almost seemed to smile and Ollie jumped back a bit, although he was used to magic, he wasn't used to a hat being so smart.

Sitting down Minerva placed the hat upon his head and the hat almost seemed to shape around his skull, opening his mind to let the energies flow into the hat.

"Ah, a Strattenburg... Loyal.... Smart.. Peaceful.. You have your mother's smarts and your father's creativity.... I would say... Hufflepuff!

A sigh of relief left Oliver's lips and he quickly took off the hat and scampered over to his seat.

Isaac watched the sorting ceremony, seeing as there was little else to do. He wasn't allowed to bring his books to the dining hall during the sorting, consequently boring Isaac out of his mind. He did notice as a blonde girl seemed rather oblivious to the entire scene, though seeing as she was born in the muggle world, this whole world had to be a bit strange to her. He smirked to himself, not a common expression on the quiet boy's face. It was kind of cute how she was so confused. He shook his head, messing up his already messy hair. Man, she's just a girl. He thought to himself, crinkling his nose. Gross. I called her cute.

Ash Derkins? That's a rather unusual name.. He thought, listening to the hat's observation. It had a lot to say about her, but he wasn't exactly convinced that the sorting hat held credibility anymore. He was put in Hufflepuff and a Weasley girl was placed in Slytherin. Maybe it was broken? She sat right next to him despite the several other open spaces to choose from, causing the boy's skin to crawl. He tensed up, swallowing nervously. He'd never been that close to a girl before, well aside from his mother, but family didn't count. He tugged at his collar, averting his gaze from Ash for a moment, "...I'm Isaac.." He said softly, not giving her eye contact as he spoke. He was barely getting his words out as it stood. When he grew enough courage to look up, he wasn't allowed to speak anymore, the headmaster's speech had already begun. On the bright side, it bought the nervous boy a bit of time.

He noticed a boy he'd stood near in line had also gotten picked for Hufflepuff, Oliver? Right? He wasn't paying a lot of attention, but he was pretty sure he'd at least caught the boy's name. The words 'dig in' struck loud and clear to Isaac, being quite the fan of food. He started eating, deciding that he'd already introduced himself to one student, he could at least write a letter to his dad saying he met a friend without completely lying. Sure it was an exaggeration, but he had to do something. He didn't want his father sending him one of those dreadful howlers. Those magical letters were bloody embarrassing.

He sighed, placing chicken, deviled eggs, and mashed potatoes upon his plate, a look of eagerness crossing his features for the first time since he'd arrived. He didn't hesitate to begin eating. His table manners were appropriate, but quite hasty. This is delicious! He thought to himself, before his eyes shifted to Ash and Oliver despite his attempts to seclude himself.

Ash watched the sorting proceed with curiosity, still trying to figure out the different houses and how people were sorted. None of it had exactly been explained to her and she had just been shipped off to the school as soon as she got the letter, now here through she had no clue what was going on. Magic was completely new to her, and despite how amazing it was, it was also quite confusing. Another boy seemed to be sorted into Hufflepuff and she gave him a smile as he sat down.

"...I'm Isaac...", she looked over towards the boy she had sat next to and gave him a smile, opening her mouth to say something, she was interrupted as the headmaster began his speech. Once it was over, she quickly placed some food on her plate and took a bit, grinning at how tasty the food was. "Maybe I won't miss moms cooking..." She thought briefly before turning to the two other boys who had been sorted.

"Hi! My names Ash and it's nice to meet you.", she smiled happily at them both before wringing her hands nervously, "I wondering... Do you guys want to be friends... You don't have to if you don't want to! It's just I'm new to this whole idea of magic and it would be nice to have a friend than go it alone...", looking down at her lap she was slightly surprised. She had managed to say it all without stuttering, a miracle but there had been a lot of pauses and it was obvious she was nervous... Not to mention slightly embarrassed with herself shown by the blush. Shaking her head and looking back up, she stuck her tongue out and rubbed the back of her head, "Sorry, I'm not usually this bad... Or straightforward... when making friends."

Oliver

As Ollie made his way towards his new table with his house, another girl stormed past him, grumbling about the sorting hat being wrong. Oliver doubted that, the sorting hat had it's reasons for putting everyone in their certain house, at least that's what Dad had said...

Oliver sat down and soon after Mr. Utelias told everyone that the dinner was served. And boy was dinner served. Food bubbled up like magic, anything and everything a kid could have dreamed from chicken to sweets. Oliver's eyes widened, he had heard stories, but seeing it for himself was a dream come true. Everything about this school was whimsical.

Digging into the food, he heard a girls voice ring into his ears.

"Hi! My names Ash and it's nice to meet you." Oliver's eyes darted up and the girl, Ash, smiled over at him, "I wondering... Do you guys want to be friends... You don't have to if you don't want to! It's just I'm new to this whole idea of magic and it would be nice to have a friend than go it alone..."

Ash seemed to pause, almost shocked she had even spoken words at all. Color rushes into her cheeks a bit as she rushed out an apology, "Sorry, I'm not usually this bad... Or straightforward... when making friends."

"I'd love to be friends with you!" Ollie stated, looking her in the eye, sticking out an eager hand for her to shake, "I'm Oliver Strattenburg! It's a pleasure!"

He looks over to the other male she had been referring to and he directed a warm smile at him as well.

After watching her brother take his seat Erica sighed in relief. She watched as the other kids got sorted into their respected houses. There were only four people that really caught her eye and that was the ivory haired girl Casey, The Weasley, Nalani, and Addison who thankfully was in Gryffindor with her. For a second Erica looked up the table seeing all the other older kids talking and laughing, she quickly felt nervous but also confused for a minute because she had never gotten that nervous that fast. Her eyes quickly landed on Addison when she sat next to her. Erica turned her body halfway to face Addison as she opened her mouth to speak. "My Name is Addison...I'm sure you already know that though since it was announced...I'm sorry, I'm not very good at introducing myself."

Erica smiled and extended her hand to her. " It's alright, I'm not either. I'm Erica. Eri or Ellie for short!" Her smile beamed, feeling confident in her response as she looked across the table at Nalani who sat in front of her. "Hey, That goes for you to Nalani!" Erica kept smiling reaching her hand over the table. " Nice to meet you both!" Right then the Headmaster's voice boomed across the Grand Hall. "Now, that everyone is sorted among the houses, dig in!" After the Headmaster spoke food appeared on the table like a plant growing at rapid speed.

Erica's eyes widened a bit in surprise as she watched. " Whoa look at all this food! Haha I bet we don't have to worry about starving here now do we?" she chuckled digging in and grabbing a chicken thigh, taking a big bite out of it. At home she gained the nickname wolfie or just werewolf since she loved meat and was always active. For a second Erica turned around her unusual bright blue orbs landing on her brother. She watched as he picked at his food slowly with the fork. Seriously that boy-.

Before Erica could finish her eyes landed on another person, Katilyn. Her curious gaze was not left unnoticed as she saw the red-head look at her making Erica turn around quickly going red in the face from embarrassment. She choked slightly on her food as she face her two new fellow friends. " S-so guys, How do you like Hogwarts so far? I find it quite...interesting and pretty cool."

Cyrus sat there examining the room as the other kids were sorted into their houses. He watched in awe as the candles floated there in mid air. The ceiling enchanted to reflect the night sky. A whole bunch of stars littered the copy sky and he watched as they realistically twinkled. That's beautiful. He looked around and his eyes then landed on the headmasters podium that was intricately carved with an owl. That's also beautiful. His eyes then traveled to Casey who began to talk with Willow. That's very beauti-. He caught himself coughing a bit at his thoughts.

His cheeks slightly red but that soon left as his face dawned a bewildered expression as food appeared on the table. He did not catch what the Headmaster said but he was pretty sure it had something to do with eating. Sitting quietly at his table he slowly filled his plate with some pork and vegetables and took small bites looking bored. He wanted to talk to the girls but he wasn't good at introducing himself or talking to a girl that wasn't his sister in the first place. He looked up from his table and watched his sister as she laughed and talked with her new house mates.

Cyrus was always envious about that straight forward easy to talk too trait she had. He wanted to be able to be as carefree and confident as she was but that just didn't rub off on him. He sighed slowly picking at his food making his veggies dance across his plate with his fork. He had caught a very big interest in Casey which made him want to get close to her but he just didn't have to a whole lot of confidence in talking to her or any girl for that matter. He just wanted to get to bed now, his brain was tired and so was he.

Blue eyes blinked as he thought back. Ash had smiled at him when he introduced himself just moments ago, that much reassured Isaac a little, but not enough to be a game changer. His blue eyes stared down at his food, until Ash began introducing herself in the middle of the meal. He wiped his mouth, not wishing to be rude and turned his gaze back upon the blonde girl, eyes shifting as he took her appearance in better. He felt a blush creep onto his cheeks, noticing she was a lot cuter up close. She was asking to be friends, but the nervous boy was busy trying to sort his thoughts. You don't have time for girls Isaac! The last thing you need to do here is form a crush.

"I don't have anything to compare you to, no worries." Isaac gave her a nervous smile, once again messing up his hair. It seemed to be a nervous habit for the boy, but his hair definitely looked like a tornado had it's way with it, "I haven't got any friends.." He finally admitted, taking a drink from the goblet. Pumpkin juice? Well. I suppose that's fine.. He thought, before taking a second, sitting the drink down, "I.. I guess we can be friends."

He was taken by surprise when the other boy greeted her with extreme enthusiasm, smirking to himself. He wasn't trying to be smug, he just didn't laugh often. An amused smirk was typically the best you'd get from Isaac. He tilted his head, something about these two just kept him at peace. He wasn't sure why, but being sorted in Hufflepuff maybe wasn't that bad after all? She's really pretty... His eyes shifted to Ash, then they turned to Oliver, and he seems friendly enough.. maybe studying here won't be that bad.. A small smile crossed his lips before eating once more. He waited for Oliver and Ash to finish their introductions before speaking again, not wanting to be rude.

It took him a second before he realized Oliver's gaze had fallen upon him, wiping his mouth once more of food before speaking again, "I'm Isaac Wright.." He introduced himself, eyes shifting along the table before offering his hand over to the boy, seeing as Oliver seemed to use the formality of handshakes. He didn't give them often aside from meeting private teachers, but he didn't want to be rude either, "It seems we're all going to see a lot of each other. Friends would be great.. I hope we all can get along.." His voice was nervous and hesitant, but he was trying his best to socialize well with the others.

"I don't have anything to compare you to, no worries." Ash looked over at Isaac who gave her a nervous smile, seeming to almost mess up his hair uncounsiously, making it look like a birds nest and caused her to giggle slightly as she sent him a friendly smile, [b]"I haven't got any friends..", he said and Ash gave him a curious frown as he took a drink, "I.. I guess we can be friends.".

Ash couldn't help but smile before bumping his shoulder playfully, "Well than I am honoured to be you first friend.", Before looking over at the other guy who had offered his hand out towards her.
"I'd love to be friends with you! I'm Oliver Strattenburg! It's a pleasure!", Laughing happily, she took his hand and shook it eagerly. "Thanks Ollie, It's great that we're all friends now, so let's get along really well!", she commented before letting go of his hand and glancing around the hall again at the many students from all the other houses while the two boys introduced themselves to each other.

"I'm Isaac Wright... It seems we're all going to see a lot of each other. Friends would be great.. I hope we all can get along..", she grinned at the two boys before the candles caught her attention once again, leaning back in her chair so that she lay completely bent over backwards on the stool and could now see the dark sky up above perfectly. Everyone looked slightly funny upside down but the sky was beautiful and she felt less lonely knowing her family was looking up at the same sky as herself.

Pulling herself back into an upright position, she took a scoop of some strawberry and chocolate ice cream, placing it on her clean plate and beginning to eat the sugery sweet. "I'm so happy they have ice cream, otherwise I might of just died from the sheer horror!, she joked out as she glanced around the hall again, it seemed as if there was always something new and interesting to see. It was all in all, perfectly fascinating.

Minerva McGonagall watched as the students talked to each other and ate the food the Headmaster placed on the tables. “It seems everyone is starting to make friends with their houses and having a wonderful time.” thought McGonagall. She looked over at the time and saw it was time to take the students to their houses. McGonagall got up from her seat and walked over to the front of the students. “Alright everyone, it’s time to escort you to your houses.”
