First Year Orientation by Nathan Xavier
Nathan greeted the students as they disembarked from their wagons, helping anyone with the last big step who needed it, and telling them to leave their luggage for the elves. For the first years - or rather anyone he didn't recognize from teaching last year, though he hadn't heard of any transfers this year so presumably they were all first years - he then invited them to follow the signs through the Garden paths to Orientation. For second years, he welcomed them back and told them the library and Cascade Hall were open for use until the feast later that night, or they could go to their dorms. Prefects or staff should be in the Hall if they needed a password. Everyone else presumably knew the drill so he just welcomed them back and hoped they had a good summer.Once the last of the wagons arrived, he followed the first years through the Gardens, collecting the "Orientation this way ->" signs along the way, as well as releasing the staff members or prefects posted at path intersections to prevent unsupervised wandering to go and enjoy the rest of their afternoons. The designated path led into a large clearing with a fountain and a banner exclaiming "Welcome to Sonora Academy!"
There were tables beneath the banner laden with snacks, both healthy and unhealthy, sweet and salty, light and filling. Cupcakes, cookies, breads of several varieties, pretzels, potato chips, cheese, crackers, fruits, vegetables and dip, small sandwiches, and more were all available. Cups of water, pumpkin juice, and fruit punch filled another table.
An additional staff member was posted within the clearing, encouraging new arrivals to get some food and collect a packet, and prevent anyone from wandering away or or swimming in the fountain or otherwise causing trouble. The packets the students were told to grab were thin green folders, the same shade as their uniform robes, that contained useful things like the first year class schedule, a map of the school, and a list of school rules they would be expected to abide by. Most of the later would be covered by the Head of House speeches later, but it never hurt to have it in writing.
He gave the students from the final wagon time to get food and mingle a bit before he cleared his throat to get their attention. It wasn't a notably large class this year, so he didn't bother with a sonorus charm to amplify his voice, but he did motion for them to gather closer so he wouldn't need to project to the far corners of the clearing or compete too much with the splashing of the fountain.
"Hello and welcome to your first year at Sonora Academy. My name is Professor Xavier and I'll be your Herbology teacher this year, and your orientation guide today. First, I'm going to tell you a bit about your new school," it wouldn't be anything novel or exciting for anyone who read the school brochures sent out with the acceptance letters, but there was no guarantee those had been read. "Then you'll have some time to meet your fellow yearmates, get more snacks, and ask questions if you have any. At five thirty, we'll start a tour of the school which will culminate at the Cascade Hall, where you will all be sorted into your Houses and then the Welcoming Feast will begin."
The first few times he'd done this, he'd had a whole speech planned out, memorized, and rehearsed in front of his cat. As this was now his fifth time running Orientation, however, and since he'd become more comfortable talking in front of large classes over that time, he was mostly winging it today.
"So, Sonora Academy of Magic is a seven year secondary school. You're expected to already be able to read, write essays, and do basic math. If you can't, or you have trouble with those things, we do have an academic support program run by Professor Skies, which includes language help for anybody who doesn't speak English fluently. Additionally, each professor holds office hours a few times a week in case you need a little extra help with their specific subject."
"As first years, you will be taking beginner level classes. The core classes Sonora offers are Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, and Defense against the Dark Arts. These beginner courses will continue into second year, and the two beginner year groups sit classes together. In third year, you will advance to intermediate classes and be permitted to pick up elective classes and independent studies if you so choose, in addition to those core classes that you will start this year. Intermediate classes last through fifth year, at the end of which you take your first major exam call the CATS - the Critical Assessment of Talents and Skills. Depending on how you do on those tests, you may move into advanced classes for your sixth and seventh years. At that point, you may drop the courses that are not of interest to you or for which you did not pass the CATS. At the end of seventh year, you will sit your last major exam, the RATS - the Ridiculously Anal Testing of Skills. You need to pass two RATS to graduate, and most colleges require a minimum of three."
He took a breath then continued, "Obviously, that's still a long way off, but that's the overview of academics here at Sonora. You should have your schedule for beginner lessons in the green folders you picked up. If you didn't get one, they are over there," he pointed to the appropriate table.
"Extracurricularly, Sonora has a number of student led clubs, including a Dueling club, an Orchestra, a Choir, an Art club, a Baking Club, possibly a Book club," they hadn't had a part in last year's Concert, so he wasn't sure if that was because they ceased to exist or because Book Club didn't lend itself well to a stage performance, "and a Sports club. If none of those tickle your fancy, you can always make your own. Depending on participation rates, we may also have House Quidditch teams competing for the Quidditch Cup. Quidditch is a wizarding sport played on broomsticks. Oh, on that note, as first years, you do have one more class beyond the core classes called Flying Lessons where you'll learn to fly on a broom."
That was the bulk of the information he was supposed to disseminate right now, so he began his wrap up, "As for living arrangements, you will be sorted into Houses, which each value certain positive personality traits: Aladrens value learning; Teppenpaws friendship; Crotalus believes in respectability and responsibility; and Pecaris are often adventurous. There are other traits each House seeks, so this is a bit of a generalization and not everyone fits neatly into one or another, so try not to put too much stock into House stereotypes. But you will be sorted into one of them, and you'll share a room with anybody else sharing your House and gender. Your Head of House will look out for you and serve as your adult guardian while you're here. Each House has three prefects who are also appointed to help you with any trouble you may encounter. And each student has the opportunity to gain House points for good behavior and exemplary class work. Likewise getting in trouble can lose your House points. The House with the most points at the end of the year wins the House Cup to display in their Commons for the following year."
He mentally ran through the important topics one more time and thought he'd hit most of them. "That's about it, the Cascade Hall serves breakfast from 6:30 to 8:30, lunch from eleven to one, and dinner from five to seven. Those times should also be on your schedules. Between those times, you can get light fare like sandwiches and snacks. It opens at six and closes at ten. Ten PM to six AM is curfew and you should be in your House areas during that time. Unless there are any questions, you are free to mingle until the tour."
OOC (Out of Character):
Welcome first years to Sonora! You can post a reply here to ask staff questions or meet your new classmates. This thread is intended for first year students to have a chance to try out posting and get acclimated to the site before we throw you into the big Opening Feast, which is open to the entire school population and can be a bit overwhelming. So post, enjoy, have fun! Everyone here is happy to help out, so if you've got a question, put it on the OOC board or try to catch somebody in the Chatzy and we'll try to get you an answer as quick as we can. Have fun and glad you could join us!

I have arrived. by Jasmine Delachene
Jasmine looked out the back of the covered wagon, watching the ground pass beneath her. This was higher than her horses usually flew, but the height didn't bother her. What bothered her was that she couldn't see the ranch. She scooted back to a more interior seat and worried about how awful the homesickness was going to get it it was already this bad when she didn't think they'd even left California yet.Or maybe they had. Her stop had been pretty close to the Arizona border and it wasn't long before they started another descent. No, it was just another boarding stop. Could be Arizona though. She wasn't sure what exactly the wagon routes were. She looked around the platform, not expecting to recognize anyone, but still irrationally disappointed when she didn't see her mom anyway. It just looked enough like the last platform, where she'd left her family, that it seemed like they should be here, too.
Soon enough the wagon took off again and then landed and took off until finally it stayed aloft long enough to reach the school. Jasmine didn't live terribly far off, so it was only about an hour and change since she boarded, but she was still glad to be done with the bumpy vehicle. Her dad had put a featherlight charm on her trunk but she still stared at in dismay because it was big and bulky and she was not. Fortunately, the guy helping people off the wagon told her the elves would get it so she happily abandoned it where it lay.
Following the signs, and being diverted from exploring the gardens by the older students and grown-ups guarding the crossroads, she found her way to the Orientation clearing. They hadn't had these during her parents' day, but the food looked delicious so she wasn't going to complain. She filled a plate with fruits and splurged on a large chocolate chip cookie the size of her face then went for one of the green folders as well. She popped a grape in her mouth and looked around at the other students, wondering if any of them were princesses like herself. Arianna was too old to be here at orientation, but Jasmine was looking forward to catching up with her friend sometime later. As their mothers were best friends, Jasmine considered the older girl the closest thing she had to an older sister. And they had more in common than she did with her actual sister. It would be good to be living in the same place now. Jasmine hoped to get into Arianna's House, and thought she had at least a decent chance at Crotalus. It was more likely than Aladren at any rate, but both her parents had been Pecaris so she really wasn't sure.
There, that girl was wearing nicer looking jewelry than Jasmine was. Based entirely on appearance, she looked promising. Surely nobody with such expensive tastes in accessories could be too unmannered. If they got into the same House though, Jasmine didn't want to monopolize her here and there, and it would be better to risk the uncouth now than over a meal where she couldn't make her excuses and move on.
Mom told her it was very important to make the right friends at Sonora, especially since she was technically a half blood (Mom being a muggleborn, thus giving Jasmine two muggle grandparents). Well, Phillippe, Mom and Dad's only biological child, was technically a halfblood. Only Merlin and Jasmine's biological parents, whoever they might be, knew what she was. She'd just have to prove she had the good breeding without having the pedigree that let it be taken for granted. Her mom had done it as a muggleborn, so it was definitely possible. With the right friends.
Jasmine just needed to find some Ladies of her own.
She was still analyzing all her options and culling them down to high and low likelihoods of being satisfactory friend material, when Professor Xavier interrupted her study to make his speech. Most of it she already knew, but there were a few details that were new to her and she committed them to memory.
He finished talking and told them to mingle. But before she could target a person of her choice, someone else targeted her. She turned toward the voice and smiled politely, giving a slight curtsey that was not in the least bit hampered by her green folder or her plate of food. Her silvery dress was unfortunately hidden by her uniform robes, but her coiffed hairdo (protected by preserving charms cast by her mother to guard it against the winds and bumps of the wagon ride) and delicate matching jewelry she wore around her neck and wrist should further indicate she was a from a good family.
"Hello," she returned, the very picture of good manners, "I am Jasmine Delachene, of the California Delachenes." That branch consisted entirely of her nuclear family, as her grandparents were living in France again now and Dad had no siblings, but they weren't unknown in pureblood circles. The Delachenes were a respected pure family (or they had been pure, up until Mom married into it) and Mom had more pure blood friends than Dad did. Her family was wealthier than Dad's was, too.

So much open space! by Parker Fitzgerald
Parker Fitzgerald got off the wagon with the other students around him. He heard someone talk about elves, and remembered the buying of school supplies and the new creatures Sullivan had introduced him to. The elves in some of the shops, the goblins at the bank they stopped at, some amazing looking creatures in the window of one shop they walked by.A nice man pointed him to follow the signs to Orientation, and though he meant to stay with Tatiana, the only person he really knew, he was suddenly mesmerized by the place he was standing and walked through dazed. It was a giant garden with signs and other people about pointing him down the path.
Behind people he could see other paths that lead to who knows where, and the excitement of being able to explore those pathways and see what there was to see excited him.
Soon Parker found himself in a large clearing with a fountain and a banner that looked as if it had been hand painted.
Underneath the banner though was so much food that Parker's eyes went wide. He walked up to the table looking at the variety and seeing all the cupcakes and cookies for the taking. He often wasn't allowed to eat them since he already had "enough energy to pull a train", and so his parents rarely had them around the house. This table though was amazing and he wondered if any of the food was magical. It all looked like normal food, but as he had already seen, things that looked normal were not normal so he put some crackers and veggies on a plate and got a cup of fruit punch. He sat down on the grass to open this packet.
He was worried there was going to be a lot of reading, like the pamphlet Sullivan had given his parents. Soon though he had forgotten his snacks. Hiding behind the rules was both a map of the grounds and the list of classes. Sullivan took a deep breath in seeing the large Garden where he assumed they were in, and the Quidditch Pitch.
Sullivan had said something about Quidditch at some point he was sure, but Parker couldn't remember what.
The class schedule looked amazing though. Parker looked down at it and then back up around the other students to see if any of them were as amazed. They all seemed to not be as excited, some even seemed a bit bored.
He wanted to yell: "Flying? Did it say flying lessons?" He remembered seeing people on brooms when buying supplies, but he didn't know he was going to learn how to fly one so soon. And a class all about animals? And another all about plants? What kind of amazing school was this Parker thought. He pinched himself under his big robes to make sure this wasn't a dream.
Just as he let out a little yelp the nice man from the wagons cleared his throat and started talking. It appeared that he was the plant teacher, and his name, which caused Parker to laugh a bit, was Professor Xavier. He was going to have a hard time not calling him Professor X, even if this Professor X wasn't bald and in a wheel chair. Though for all Parker knew, he could read minds.
As Professor X went on, Parker grew a bit excited sitting on the ground and began to shake his right leg a bit. This school sounded radically different form the one he had left in June last year. Then again, in June of last year he wasn't causing lights to explode yet. Parker thought for a moment, "If he's Professor X, does that make me Jubilee?"
He shook his head and tried to pay attention again as the topic of food was being discussed. It seemed to him that unlike the school he came from no one would be hungry. As Professor X finished he said to mingle.
Parker looked around to see if he could see Tatiana, but everyone looked the same in their green robes. So instead he simply turned to the person next to him.
“Hi,” Parker said sticking out his hand like his father had taught him to do, “My name is Parker Fitzgerald, what’s yours?”
The young woman who turned around was what his mom referred to as hotey toity, and were often the people his father had as clients when he went away for a few days. Even her family name was of a specific family.
“Sorry,” Parker responded trying hard to match her poise, but failing as he took a step forward and onto his plate of food, “I don’t know them.”
He stepped off his food and made a bit of a face looking at squished bell peppers, or at least what he thought were bell peppers.
“Maybe my dad knows your family though. He is an architect for nice houses all over California. Where in California are you from?”

Eh, I've seen more by Jasmine Delachene
The boy didn't recognize her family branch, but judging by the way he then stepped on his food and that she didn't recognize his surname, that was not indicative of any failing on her family's fame but likely the result of him not being from the proper circles. She relaxed a little bit, no longer trying as hard to make a good first impression.He wasn't high class himself, she didn't think, but he brushed their edges if his remark about his father designing nice houses was anything to go by. "Well, my immediate family is from an area right near the Arizona border; we own a horse ranch out there, mostly winged ones, but a few muggle horses as well. Your dad may have also worked on either of my grandparent's houses, they're both in LA. My grandfather, Paul Greer, was a lawyer in the city and he's got a place in the Hills. My grandmother, Kathleen Burbridge - they're divorced - was an actress, still is if she can get a good role, but she's cut back a lot. She's got a place on Mulholland." If he was a muggleborn or half-blood, and ever watched any kind of movie, she expected him to at least recognize her grandmother's name, even if his father never worked on her house. In her heydey, Kathleen Burbridge been every bit as sought after as Julia Roberts. Nowadays, of course, she mostly played grandmothers and dowager Empresses and such. There just wasn't a lot of demand for leading ladies in their sixties.
Feeling she had sufficiently name dropped enough that Parker ought to be impressed, she dialed back and asked a more straight forward question, "Do you have any guesses about which House you'll be in? My parents were both Pecaris but my friend Arianna is a Crotalus, so I'm hoping I'll get to join her. It hasn't even been a whole day yet, and I'm already missing my family, so having a familiar face around would help, I think. I've never been away from home before." Well, she'd left the ranch before, of course, but not without at least having one member of her family with her. Merlin, even having Anya around would be better than being here by herself.
Well, no. That wasn't true at all. It would be so much easier to make proper friends without her sister around to cast doubt upon Jasmine's suitability. Once she had friends to support her, things would get easier. She just had to find some. If Mom could do it, so could she.

A Subject I know! by Parker Fitzgerald
The girl was talking about California bordering Arizona, and Parker imagined his grandfathers house and trips to the Salton Sea. He was thinking about this that he almost missed her comment about Muggle horses. He was about to make a comment about horses, but Jasmine barreled on about her grandparents.He recognized her grandmothers name, she was an actress his parents enjoyed, and Parker always wondered why she wasn't in movies like a female Taken or Die Hard, she seemed the sort who would be great at that, but Jasmine didn't really look like her.
Though his father probably was too young to have worked on their houses, Parker knew that his father sometimes went to LA for work, though was unsure of who he worked with there.
Suddenly Jasmine's voice changed to that of an actual child. She was asking about houses at the school. Now this was something that Parker had thought about and knew about! Since Sullivan had mentioned specific houses and point systems and how each house had similar character traits Parker had been trying to think about what house he might be put in. When he wasn't marveling at the sights around him, he had been thinking about houses.
Jasmine had mentioned two houses. The first was Pecaris, which was about being active and spontaneous Parker thought. It sounded like a lot of fun actually. The other was Crotalus, which Parker remembered as the house that saw themselves as respectable members of society. From what Parker had already seen of respectable society in his world, he wasn't sure he wanted to be a part of it.
He knew there were two others, one was Teppenpah Parker thought. That was the one Parker wanted to think he was in, but probably wouldn't be.
"Pecaris I think," Parker responded so he could get a word in. "I am fairly active and though some may call it stupid, others call some of my actions daring, so I think I'll probably be there. I don't have any friends here though that I'd want to be with. They all stayed behind at my other school back in Nevada, and Sullivan told me I wasn't allowed to tell them about where I was going. Sounds like you might know more people here than I do, and judging by your jewelry, you might like Tatiana, though it might be hard to hold a conversation unless you speak Russian."
Parker hesitated for a minute before asking the question he really wanted to. "Umm...because I'm umm... well, I've only ever ridden Muggle horses. What's it like riding a flying horse? I think it would be magical."
Parker laughed at his own joke, but he really wanted to know more about these flying horses. They sounded awesome, though he wouldn't want to be standing under a flying horse when it pooped.

A subject I love! by Jasmine Delachene
Jasmine nodded as Parker stated he expected he'd be a Pecari. "My father loved it there," she encouraged. Her mother had mixed feelings; Mom had loved having a room to herself, and being with Dad, but most of her female friends had been in Crotalus. (Though Arianna's mother, she thought, might have been in Aladren. One of the Ladies had been.) Neither had Mom exactly been a typical Pecari and, honestly, given the description of the House, Jasmine really didn't know how Mom had gotten put there.Jasmine further gathered from his comment about needing to keep his friends in the dark that he was most like muggleborn or half, which she had mostly already guessed, but it was good to have confirmation. She'd been spared that difficulty. Her family mostly kept to the wizarding side of society, aside from the Greers and Grandma Burbridge. Being homeschooled meant she had no muggle friends, and most of the other kids she did know were mostly the children of her parents' friends. And since dad had no siblings, and Uncle Danny on her mom's side had no kids, there weren't any cousins in the picture, except Aunt Molly's two, and they were both younger than Philippe. Well, Uncle Luke had a few as well, but they mostly lived with their moms, so they barely counted.
She nodded in acknowledgement of his assessment that she might like Tatiana - whoever that was - based on her jewelry (maybe the girl with the beautiful pearls) and then frowned slightly at the remark about speaking Russian. What did that mean? Did the other girl not speak English then? Father had needed to speak English when he came to Sonora, and surely French was more likely to be known than Russian was.
Then Parker changed the subject to the passion of Jasmine's life: Flying Horses. She smiled brightly and genuinely, perhaps her first real smile of the conversation. "Oh, it is magical," she promised. "My favorite is the Abraxon. Those are huge, it's like riding Dumbo. We have a few other breeds, too, and all of them are wonderful to ride. Sadly, no Thestrals though. Mom doesn't like those. They're invisible. I saw one once - well, I guess I didn't see one once. They'd probably be hard to take care of if you couldn't see them, though. But flying a winged horse - oh, it is glorious. I'm honestly kind of worried about Flying Lessons, because I don't think a broom is going to measure up at all."

Invisible horses? by Parker Fitzgerald
Parker was glad to hear that her father liked it. But the absence of her mother gave him pause. Did he mishear about both her parents being Pecari? Or maybe it was a male heavy house. Parker could see that maybe. His sister would probably be a Pecari if she ever went to this school. Maybe all the Fitzgerald children. For a brief second he missed his family, and then Jasmine's face lit up.It was obvious in her change that she hadn't cared much for the conversation up until then, but now she was immediately interested. And the information she told seemed remarkable, a horse as big as Dumbo, an Abraxon he thought he heard. Then she started talking about an invisible horse...or something akin to an invisible horse.
At that Parker's eyebrows went high. He couldn't believe there would ever be such a thing as an invisible horse. Suddenly the questions came tumbling out.
"Dumbo? How did you learn to ride it? And how does one learn to ride one?" Parker caught his breath and then continued, "And how is the horse invisible? Are lots of things invisible? And won't riding a broom be a bit like riding a bike? I saw so many people riding them I thought it was easy."
In the back of his head Parker was glad there was at least someone else who couldn't ride a broom. He thought he comment though was odd.
For a second he thought, she's just overreacting because she's led such a sheltered life. Then he remembered she just mentioned invisible horses and that he'd led a pretty sheltered life too.

Yes, of course, an invisible horse! by Jasmine
Jasmine smiled fondly in remembrance, "Well, the first time, I was probably only three or four, so Mom rode behind me to make sure I didn't fall off. Honestly, I don't remember not riding Flossie, so I don't recall the learning process, exactly. She was a yearling, too, so she was smaller at the time." Jasmine shrugged. "It's not too different from riding a muggle horse, if you've done that. Just bigger and higher in the air."In response to his question about the brooms being like bikes though, she just shook her head in uncertainty. "That assumes I know I how to ride a bike. We have winged horses on our ranch. I've never bothered with either. And if I need to go into the muggle town, I take a muggle horse or Mom drives. She's muggleborn," she added as an afterthought, to explain why her entirely magical immediate family even bothered with muggles. Though, she had mentioned Dumbo already, so she guessed Parker had already figured out she had some kind of contact with that side of the world.
"Anyway, I'm good at riding large living things, but brooms and bikes don't have their own brains to handle things I don't specify or notice, and they can't be bribed with apples. And they're so skinny! I'm just nervous I'll fall right off and look like an idiot."

Everyone looks like an idiot by Parker Fitzgerald
Parker was a bit spell bound. Stories of horses flying, and this seemed so mundane to the Jasmine.He paused when she mentioned not knowing how to ride a bike. He had never thought that the people around him might not know how to do things that he knew, he just had assumed that everyone knew what he did, but more. Then she dropped a bombshell, her mom was muggleborn.
Muggle! That was the word he was trying to remember. So it wasn't just him and Sullivan. Parker wondered if there were completely different standards for those who had to live in both worlds. It seemed like it would be far more difficult since some of the rules didn't seem to apply in one or the other from his brief experiences in both.
Parker laughed out loud at Jasmines last comment.
"I'm just imagining me trying to feed a broom an apple to make it go faster," he said still giggling a little.
Then he thought of something and began speaking without knowing where it was going to end.
"Anyways," he continued, "I don't think you have anything to worry about. We all look like idiots sometimes." Parker pointed to his shoes which had stepped in his food to prove the point. "But most of the time, I imagine others are too busy worrying about how they look like idiots to notice me looking like one. You have the added bonus that you can distract them with your smile."
Parker was immediately embarrassed upon saying it, but knew that he meant it as well. When Jasmine smiled, like really smiled not her polite smile, she was quite distracting, and Parker realized immediately that he couldn't get distracted right now as he was still very confused about everything else going on.
"I'm going to go get some more food that I haven't stepped on. It was nice to meet you Jasmine of the California Delachenes. I'll be sure to bring some apples to our first flying lesson in case you need one."
With that Parker turned back to the food table so that he wouldn't be distracted by stories of horses, or smiles.
