Alex watched the excitement in the hall with wide eyes. Clapping along and laughing with the rest of the unsorted first years. They hadn't even been in the school for a full day and all this crazy magic stuff was going on! She watched as the girl on the hippogryph flew through the crowd, jumping off the creature and landing upon one of the older slytherin students and knocking him to the ground. She felt a little nervous, upon seeing the sword in the girls hand, but figured that the adults in the room would be quick to defuse the little argument between the two students.

Meanwhile there was still a strange object zipping around the hall, dodging in between students grabbing hands. One of the unsorted first year next to her began to laugh, trying to grab the flying key, and Alex found herself doing the same.
