New Begining [Open]

Kasch was late meeting the new kid. Headmaster Dumbledore had instructed to meet him at the front doors since he knew the ropes as transfer student. Adjusting the belt on his pants and smoothing some of his hair down. Kasch was ready to give a guided tour to the new kid, just how Alice had given him a tour on his first day. Albeit it was on the first day of term, but this was no different. Kasch Morgenstern understood what it was like when coming to a new place.

Turning the corner toward the front of the school, the sixth year Gryffindor spotted a very lost man with dark hair and a decently built body. Stopping in front of him for a moment Kasch held out his hand. "You must be Alexander Nicolson, I'm Kasch Morgenstern here to show you the ropes of being the new kid." A bright smile spread across his lips as he spoke in a very deep Germanic accent. "Don't you worry though, I was the new kid in September, it's not all that bad." Nodding his head toward the staircase as he pushed back a strand of hair.

"First, I think Filch already grabbed the majority of your things, all we have to do is head up to the Headmasters office, get your sorted and then we go from there." Kasch started toward the stairwell with a smile, keeping his head held high for a moment listening to the hubbub of switching classes. "Well c'mon you'll be able to wander the grounds after we find out where you're going to be sleeping for der nacht." Already impressed with the kid, Kasch really hoped that he would be sorted into Gryffindor so he wouldn't have to pass the poor guy off to someone from a different house. Beginning the long climb to Dumbledore's office, Kasch made sure he hadn't lost Zander in the commotion.

"It's always this hectic during class change, sometimes it's worse, but this is the period where some people have a free space. At least for my year that is." Filch made a move for the gear and pulled it down the hall as the two made their way to the office of the Headmaster. Once they were out of the chaos below, Kasch had slowed down. Adjusting his own robes he smiled.

"There are four houses, each color represents what house you belong to, red for Gryffindor, which I am in, probably the best house there is granted I'm a little bias." Kasch laughed as they continued the climb to the top of the staircase. "Yellow is for Hufflepuff, they're a mixture of students, mostly good at Herbology and the like. Most of them are fairly nice. Then there is the Blue, those students are members of Ravenclaw, the house with the brains. They're hard working individuals study bugs. Truly amazing. As for the green, those people are Slytherins, mostly purebloods except for the occasional wannabe. They're... well not my sort of people." Kasch finished his sentence with a slight smile. He really didn't like the Slytherin Clan to begin with due to his family, but that was the way it was.

Coming up to the Headmaster's office he knocked and pushed the door open. No one was in here, but he had been given permission for the sorting hat. "Alright, looks like I'm taking care of this, don't worry Professor Dumbledore already gave me notice and instructions to get you sorted into the correct house. So, take a seat!" Grabbing the hat from off the shelf it came to life and Kasch smiled. "How's it going bro?" The hat responded with a gruff 'The Usual' and the boy beamed and pulled a stool out from under a shelf that held a number of tomes and vials. "Don't worry, he doesn't have lice." The hat laughed quietly in the grasp of the sixth year muttering a few sarcastic comments.

Dusting off the hat a little more as it grumbled in displeasure. "You put the hat on and it'll sort you into the proper house. Usually Remus would be the one showing you around, but he's busy with something today, so he sort of appointed me." Kasch smiled brightly at the new kid before him. "Don't freak out, as odd as it seems, it's totally normal. So, here we go!" Placing the brim of the old hat upon Zander's skull Kasch let go to not interfere with the sorting ceremony.

The hat, in it's gruff voice started to contemplate which house to place the boy into. The air was filled with a bunch of hmms and ahhs before it exclaimed GRYFFINDOR, in a very loud and exuberant tone. Making Kasch jump a little at the booming voice, but his smile only widened at the voice. "Sweet!" Popping the hat of the boy he placed it back on the shelf with a thank you and quickly turned back to Zander. "Sweet, so it looks like you're rooming with me and a few others. I'm sure the other guys will be more than happy to meet you. Come on I'll show you where you're going to be sleeping."

Brushing off the front of his shirt he laughed and put the stool back after he stood up. "You ready? I'm glad you're not in Slytherin, nasty lot they are." Crossing his arms over his chest he waited. "I suppose this is the point where I ask you if you have any questions, so. Do you have any questions?" Cleaning up the rest of the mess he made while gathering the hat and all of the other required documents and paperwork. Snatching up a School map that was created by Remus for new students. There was nothing special about it, other than when you switched levels the map did as well. "Here, this will come in hand as well. The dot moves with you as long as you're the one holding it. Comes in handy!"

Kasch smiled at the boy as he asked when his classes were and he held up a schedule that was modified for him being a Gryffindor. "It's all laid out right here and ready for you. Your schedule and mine look very similar aside from a few classes here and there, so that's good." Hands him over the piece of paper with the list of classes and times. "So, for tomorrow, if you stick with me and Alice you should be okay, I'll be able to lead you to the classroom for your third period because I have a free period that time and it won't be an issue." The boy held a bright smile as he looked on at Zander.

Crossing his arms he looked up at the ceiling for a moment. "None that I can think of right off the top of my head, but I can say that it would be in your best interest to stay away from the Slytherins, they're a nasty lot, their common room is down in the dungeons and they're not too keen on anyone less than Pureblood." The boy smiled and opened a jar that was sitting on Dumbledore's desk and pulled out a couple pieces of butterscotch. Tossing one to the boy with a grin.

"So tell me about yourself on the walk to the common room." Unwrapping the candy and popping it into his mouth he waved the boy on to follow him. "So you're from North America? That's kind of cool. I heard baseball is really big over there what I would do to play for one of the major league teams." Laughing as he lead the boy back down the staircase toward the main part of the campus and up a few more flights. "Ah! There is also a password for the common room. It changes frequently because of a special someone who is in the same year as us." A laugh came from his chest as they continued to climb the stairs. "Anyway, it's Sirius semper obliviscitur. Which is latin for Sirius always forgets and to be honest, he always does."

"Alice is one of the most sincere girls at this school." Kasch laughed as they started out of the headmaster's office. "Though I would have to say I'm a little bias considering she's my lady." Popping the sugar into his mouth, the sixth year Gryffindor boy looked up at the ceiling for a moment and started toward the dorms.

Listening intently to what Zander had to say; he showed genuine interest in what he said. "I've always wanted to try out hockey, but the whole bleeding things sets me a little on edge. Don't get me wrong, love the sport and I love to watch it, but somethings make a grown man like myself want to puke." Kasch grinned over his shoulder to the boy and then started for the stairs watching where he was walking. "As for baseball, I've been dying to play since I was little. There were a bunch of kids in the city that I lived in that played in a sandlot, but that was about it. No scouts or anything, there is no possible way I would be able to play for the national team or what not, but it's something I've always dreamt of." Still he smiled as they continued and stopped while the boy watched the cases move.

"Yea, they tend to do that. Some of them on the hour some on the half, and would you look at that it's the top of the hour!" Peering over the railing he laughed at the boy as he seemed so amazed at such a small action. Trying to reel back to the question Zander had asked, Kasch rubbed his chin. "Normally there will be a post in the common room on the message board saying that the password has changed, but it hasn't changed in sometime meaning Sirius had to of remembered this one. Or you can just ask the fat lady or any of us really, Remus Lupin is the first to know and he'll pass it around so there is that too."

Trying to think of what to tell Zander he shrugs. "There really isn't much to tell. I am a transfer from Durmstrang, an all boys school in Bulgaria, and I was bullied pretty much every day. My family are pretty big blood purists and I'm neglected." Kasch smiled wide after the few depressing statements. "Don't worry or feel bad for me, I'm doing better now than I have ever had in years. I feel pretty positive and the like. Just have to keep moving forward is all!"

Running his hand through his hair, Kasch came to a portrait of a Fat Lady and turned to Zander. "Go on, say the password, let us see if you remembered it." In a cheerful yet sadistic sounding voice, the boy smiled and waved to the portrait before crossing his arms across his chest.
