Fresh of the boat with mud on her skirt, Piper Coil made her way up to the castle with the rest of the first years. To say the least she already felt so unlucky, everyone else had managed to avoid the mud on the ground but her. To make things worse she tried flinging the mud off her shoes and end up on her skirt instead. As they made their way up to the castle, she turned to the boy that had been sitting next to her and stuck out her hand.<br/><br/>"Hi, my name is Piper Coil." She said.<br/><br/>The boy took her hand shaking it gingerly before letting go. He muttered his name quickly which Piper did not hear.<br/><br/>"Um, well it's nice to meet you! Um, what house do you think you'll be in?" She asked but before the boy could answer she spoke up again. "Have you ever heard of a Windigo? It's half demon creature with a craving of human flesh. The myth comes from the Algongquian tribe. It's really interesting that muggles believed in such things, as if something like that really lurked in the dark. But the greatest part is how one becomes a Windigo. I think normal people become one, I researched this topic many times and each time information comes up different from the other. " She continued. Piper and the boy walked into the castle together. She paused briefly in her topic to take in the castle, gaping at how big it was. As they moved closer to the Great hall, the girl turned her conversation in a new direction talking about how sad it was she couldn't bring her Ipod and how she didn't know how was going to survive with out it. Piper looked around the hall as she entered it with the boy. The older woman who was guided them to the hall now spoke up telling them about how the sorting hat worked. She started to feel a slight ping of nervousness as she realized just how many people where in there.<br/><br/>While the hat was sorting through other first years, Piper picked her conversation back up. She kept it at a whisper since it appeared to be an important moment. The boy Piper was talking to practically threw himself onto the stool once his name was called. The hat called out a house and he scurried off. Piper's name was called next and she stepped up, sitting down on the stool.<br/><br/>"Hufflepuff!!" The hat blurted out.<br/><br/>Piper hopped off the stool then made her way over to the table of the house the hat placed her in. She sat down quickly and turned to the nearest girl introducing herself. She began piling food on her plate once it appeared. Her stomach gave a rumbling approval as she shoved food into her mouth.
