## Plot

### Start-of-Term Feast

* Jacinth would have been sorted into Hufflepuff.
* Headmistress McGonagall gives school announcements: last year's House Cup victors: Hufflepuff; this year's Head Students: Charlotte Willows and Tabitha Colebutton. Then, a feast appears on all the tables.
* Alexander rushes to the Ravenclaw table to sit down to eat and meets Tabitha Colebutton and Drake Lawson. There are six other first years in an area left at the table for first years. Alexander sits next to Barney Dogwood, who is also mute and learns how to do the same writing-to-talk spell from Drake. After witnessing this spell, Alexander attempts to cast it himself, and does so, but the letters are a bit awkward and strange. Barney notices and asks if he is mute as well, but Alexander explains that he just thought it looked cool, so he wanted to try.
* Masie and Clem walk over to the Gryffindor table to sit down to eat. Clem is happy to see Professor Longbottom and feels like she belongs a little bit more, but she is afraid she'll never see Rosalina again and is clinging to Masie. They sit next to each other. Next to Masie is Ember Dots, who doesn't talk much, but rather devours the food in front of her. Next to Clem is Laurel Buckton, who thinks that Gryffindor is the best house out of the four houses. She asks Masie and Clem which classes they're excited for. Clem says Astronomy. Masie says Quidditch. Clem doesn't know what Quidditch is, so Masie explains it to her. Clem explains what a subway is; she inadvertently convinces everyone that it's a monster. Masie heard about subways before from Flora, who heard it from Idas, who heard it on the Quidditch pitch. Clem also explains what a cell phone is and shows her own phone to Masie. As she is doing so, Nearly Headless Nick pops out, looks at Clem's phone with curiosity, and inquires about it, unwittingly scaring Clem.
* Rosalina has been distracted by the sky ceiling. Headmistress McGonagall leads her to the Hufflepuff table. She sits down next to Jacinth. Rosalina empties her pockets. She is a bit homesick. Rosalina talks and eats at the same time. Jacinth has a giant plate of mashed potatoes. Next to Jacinth is Rain Salmander, who is blind. They meet Arvilla Catts, a Hufflepuff prefect and Quidditch captain, who checks on them. They talk about Quidditch. Arvilla tells them that they'll have a Flying class with Professor Hooch. Rosalina worries about dying from flying on a broomstick, but Arvilla assures her that no one has died from playing Quidditch in the past 50 years.
* Meanwhile, Alexander and Barney have been talking, Barney being fairly passive and Alexander mainly initiating. Barney practices his writing-to-talk spell but keeps making mistakes, which makes him upset and a bit angry.
* Headmistress McGonagall then introduces some of the staff of Hogwarts, including Professor Aurora Sinistra, Professor Aster Bucks, Professor Filius Flitwick, Professor Blair Borealis, Hagrid, and Mrs. Nanny Buckland.

### Common Rooms & Dormitories

* Prefects lead the first years to their common rooms and dormitories. Nearly Headless Nick and a few other ghosts have been trying to look at Clem's phone throughout the meal. The 7th year prefects are Tabitha Colebutton and Drake Lawson for Ravenclaw, Arvilla Catts and Gustav Prott for Hufflepuff, Rufus Slate and Pandora Owler for Gryffindor.
* Rosalina and Jacinth are led by Arvilla Catts to the Hufflepuff common room and dormitories. They pass through the Hogwarts kitchen and stop at three large barrels, which turns out to be the entrance to the common room. The password is a rhythmic tapping of "Hufflepuff" with your wand on the barrel. It is here where Rosalina and Jacinth meet Bucket, Hufflepuff's resident Niffler. Rosalina checks to make sure Sweet Pea isn't holding anything shiny. They arrive at their room and Rosalina starfishes onto her new, cozy, canopied bed. Jacinth introduces Rosalina to her cat, Gregory. Rosalina introduces Jacinth and Gregory to Sweet Pea.
* Masie and Clem are led by Pandora Owler to the Gryffindor common room and dormitories. They pass through the moving staircases and stop at a portrait of a lady. The moving portraits sparks a conversation between Masie and Clem, who teach each other about Muggle and wizarding things, respectively (e.g. moving portraits and pens). Clem gives Masie one of her pens. Then they meet the Fat Lady, the portrait entrance into the Gryffindor common room. The password is "Polliwog". Once they get to their room, Masie finds one of her mother's mottled eagle feather quills to give to Clem. They meet the other girls in their dormitory room, including Lily Luna Potter, Laurel Buckton, Beverly Buttercup, and Ember Dots.
* Alexander and Barney are led by Tabitha Colebutton and Drake Lawson to the Ravenclaw common room and dormitories in the Ravenclaw Tower. To gain entrance requires answering the statue's riddle: You live in a one-story house made entirely of redwood. What color would the stairs be? (Answer: There are no stairs.) They meet the other boys in their dormitory room, including one who we learn in a later episode is named Peter Appletree and Alfalfa Silverling. Barney offers Alexander a chocolate frog. Alexander offers to trade him Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans for the chocolate frog, but Barney isn't too fond of them. They eat some chocolate frogs. Alexander's chocolate frog card is of Gilderoy Lockhart. He finds out that Barney collects chocolate frog cards. They decide to start a collection together. Barney introduces Alexander to his toad, Bill. Alexander tells Barney about his owl, Benny. Alfalfa comes over to make sure that no one goes through his stuff. Alexander and Barney promise they won't. Alexander then offers Alfalfa some Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, but he refuses and decides to eat a pumpkin pasty instead. Alexander and Barney exchange their Gildeory Lockhart chocolate frog with Alfafa, who gives them a Severus Snape chocolate frog card (which used to be rare but is more popular now).

### Transfiguration Class

* The next day, Monday, the first class the Hufflepuffs have is Transfiguration class with Professor Hazel Barrows. Rosalina and Jacinth get arrive early for class. Jacinth is intimidated by the professor, so she runs to the back of the classroom. Rosalina is also scared of the professor. Professor Hazel Barrows introduces them to the subject of Transfiguration. She asks a question, which Rosalina attempts to answer, but Professor Barrows calls her foolish and deems her answer inadequate. Maddox Biscus, a Hufflepuff first year boy, then answers the question correctly.

## Quotes

* Clementine Goosanders thinking about Rosalina Earthcloud: "What if I never see her again?"
* Clementine Goosanders: "A subway - it's like a giant monster that lives under the ground. People ride in it." Masie Skyler: "People ride monsters? Muggles? Muggles ride monsters?!"
* Clementine Goosanders: "Yeah, you know, the Muggles got it cool too, you know?"
* Clementine Goosanders about subways: "It like eats you for a little bit of time and then you get - it spits you out where you want to be. It's super cool."
* Luxie: "Can I just like starfish onto the bed?" Wack: "Do whatever you want." Luxie: "I *starfish* onto the bed, crystals spelling out of my pockets."
* Clementine Goosanders as she writes a note for Masie to explain later: "Painting slash screens, live, question mark, question mark, question mark?"
* Masie (about the quill she just gave Clem): "It's just quite nice to be able to share it with somebody else." Clem: "I will treasure it forever. Thank you."
* Masie: "I've never seen somebody so happy with a quill before. I mean, it's just a quill." Clem: "Yeah, I mean I've never seen someone so happy with a pen before. It's just a pen." Masie: "I guess it's not to me." Clem: "Same."
* Luxie after her and KPP rolled complete successes for Rosalina and Jacinth: "We are the sneakiest and most on time of Hufflepuffs!"

## Fun Facts

* Negaoryx was absent in this episode due to moving and stuff with EA and the Sims.
* Mobile devices are allowed at Hogwarts, with certain restrictions: they have to be turned off during school hours, but can be used after class and during free time. Magic interferes with the phone signals though, so they don't always work.
* When KatiePetersPlays says that Jacinth has a giant plate of mashed potatoes, Kolo holds up a potato and says "I just really love potatoes."
* The head students are the students with the best grades. They're like the valedictorian for Hogwarts and they've gone away from the division of the boy and girl head students. It's just the two best students that get the Head Student moniker or title.
* Barney Dogwood once got a sulfur-flavoured bean, so he isn't fond of Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans.
* To determine a chocolate frog character, roll a d100 with 1 being really common.
* The cast have a class schedule for Year One classes.
* While determining relationships, KatiePetersPlays decided that Jacinth Hindle noticed Alexander Pippin across the room and developed a "Hey Arnold" crush on him.
