Falling in the Ocean
The Great Hall was filled with cheerful chatter and the clinking of dishes. Parvati Patil had been sorted into Gryffindor house while her twin sister Padma had been chosen for Ravenclaw. She contemplated the reason for this strange turn of events while prodding her cobbler with a fork. She was always quite outspoken and stood up for what she believed in. That was the only reason she was in Hogwarts at all. That showed courage right? Gryffindors were said to be brave of heart. However, she was a little disappointed that she wasn't in the house with all the clever students though. It was probably for the best though, for she would find being around pretentious intellectuals to be quite dull after some time. She looked across the hall to the Ravenclaw table where her sister was enjoying a lively game of wizard's chess. Yes, she would have felt terribly out of place in Ravenclaw.
Letting her eyes wander from table to table she stopped at a rather sulky looking boy at the Slytherin table drowsily picking at a large bowl of Ramen noodles. As she struggled to remember his name he caught her glance out of the corner of his eye. Immediately his expression changed to embarrassment as he dabbed his mouth and averted his eyes.
