As exciting as it had been to be on the Hogwarts Express for the first time, she was more excited to have finally arrived. The castle was better than anything she could have ever imagined based on the stories she'd heard from Ibrahim.<br/><br/>The Great Hall was massive, and easily capable of accommodating the number of students present this year. The entire place just radiated magic, and up ahead, Yasmin caught a glimpse of all the professors and did her best to try and put faces to the names she'd been told of while on the train. The one to stand out most was easily Ivory Shrike. It was easy to determine that she was in charge here, and that became clearer moments later when she stood, raised her arms, and declared for the feast to begin.<br/><br/>Yasmin had sat down at the nearest available seat and watched on in awe as food suddenly appeared on the tables. Rows and rows of various delicacies were placed before all the students and Yasmin, despite growing up around magic, was still thrilled at the mere sight of it all. She was definitely appreciative of the fact that she was a witch and had the privilege of experiencing this.<br/><br/>As excited as she was for the sorting ceremony soon, she was also starving, and all of this food looked too good to pass up. Yasmin helped herself to small helpings of different things, wanting to try and sample as much as she could before she felt full. She couldn't stay quiet for too long though, eventually turning from side to side to see who she'd sat beside.<br/><br/>The guy to her left seemed to be looking around in awe still, which Yasmin could only take to mean meant that he was a first year, just like her. Hoping to get his attention, she smiled and gave his arm a friendly nudge with her elbow since her hands were busy using utensils to cut into a piece of chicken. "You look about as excited as I feel so I'm guessing you're new here too," she told him with a chuckle, barely waiting for him to respond before she posed question. "What house are you hoping to be sorted into?"
