And how is that going for you so far?

What are you playing?

It's okay, ama' We'll just annoy the rest of the staff in the staff discord.

I'm not going to drink that awful stuff, Saethingy. I don't want to die yet.

Pizza and beer is also bad for you, Saethingy. So shut it and get cola.

Grab me some cola, will ya?

Oh how you wish

Girl, you will be like mashed parsnip before you can say 'fish and chips'

Prepare to get crushed, Saethingy

Not much. Too tired to do much today. You?

Matt was sitting between 2 of his friends. They were talking about their holidays and what they had done during the summer. One of his friends had visited family in Ireland while the other had gone to France with his parents for a short holiday. Both of their parents had heard what Dumbledore had said and they had read the stories in the Daily Prophet. Like him, they had discussions with their parents if it would be safe for them to return to school.
They didn't have much time to discuss it more, because the first years started to walk in. Matt noticed someone from another table wave at him. He looked up, he saw it had been Jasmine. He smiled and waved back at her.

McGonagall was standing in front of the great hall, next to the sorting hat. It was singing a song again, but, this time, it was longer than it had been other years. Matt only listened to half of it. He was looking at the new students and thought of his first day at Hogwarts. He had been looking forward to it for years, ever since his oldest brother came back from his first year.
He had been nervous for the sorting ceremony. Not because of what house he would get in, but because his brother had told him they were going to give him a very hard test to get sorted. The sorting hat also sang a song that year and, by the time, it was done and the first few people got sorted, Matt saw it wasn't all that scary.

The sorting was done and Dumbledore started his speech. Just like the sorting hat, I wasn't all that cheerful. Half way through the speech, a short woman, dressed in pink, stood up and started to have her own little speech. People at the Ravenclaw table had looked at each other, eye brows raised, wondering what she thought she was doing. From her speech they gathered she was of the ministry and they were keeping an eye on what was going on at Hogwarts.
Soon after Dumbledore was done, the food popped up on the tables. Most first years looked at it with big eyes and were all surprised. Matt and the people around him, on the other hand, weren't surprised and just started to eat. They were hungry and the meal was very welcome.
