It felt a little bittersweet to stand here with her sign, as it made Alice miss Kauri a bit. She knew it was maybe a little strange to miss her sister's ex boyfriend, but over the previous year, she felt like she had befriended the older boy. It was an honor to take over the tradition of holding tours for first years, and Alice was happy to do so. She had made her own sign, as the one Kauri had used had been a little worse for wear. She stood in his usual spot, holding the sign up so people would see it. "Castle tour for first years! Come join us to find your way in the castle!" Alice called out, waving the sign a little. She felt a little bit silly, but soon hopefully some first years would join and form a group around her. She knew the route she was going to change, focusing on finding classrooms much like Kauri had. If there was time, she might also take a small tour outside, as some of Alice's favorite spots were out on the grounds. But she figured the castle was more important, as it was a lot more confusing for new students.
 
Christina had no idea how to ever find everything she needed to be. How would she ever be on time. She suddenly felt pressure and only knew her cousins and her roommates a bit now. It was good that her sister was in the same house so she could run into her in case she had a question. But other than that she had no idea how to find her place in this huge castle, which was pretty cool as well. It seemed like a big maze and she needed to find the end. But when she walked out of the Great Hall after getting something to eat, which was by the way great food. Than she noticed a sign about a tour around the castle. Seemed like a thing tourist did when they visited a place and she was now one as well still in this castle. Christina figured she could just walk towards the girl with the sign she seemed ok. '' Hey. I can use a tour. This place is a big maze.'' Christina than said with a smile. And waited if some more firsties would join it. It would be silly if she was the only one.
 
If it weren't for the other Gryffindor students going down to the Great Hall for breakfast that morning, Stanislaw was sure that he would have never found his way downstairs. So when the opportunity of taking a tour to the castle presented himself to him, he decided to grab it with both hands. He joined the other two students and nodded in agreement to what one of the girl's said. ''I never imagined the castle to be this big,'' Stanislaw added.
 
Alexander had decided to walk around the castle for a slight adventure of his own. To investigate and learn more about this school, especially the wizarding side of it all. He was still in shock that he was in wizard. While walking around the castle and walking towards the entrance hall, he noticed a group of people which contained a slightly older girl and two other students that looked to be around his age. The slightly older girl was holding a sign and looked like she was giving a house tour. Alexander had been lost before already, and decided to join the group of students hoping this would help him find his way through this gigantic caslte. He waved slightly to the group, hoping that it was letting them know he was joining them.
 
Alice beamed happily as a few students arrived, she waved cheerfully. "Hi, welcome! We're waiting a little longer for more people to join, then we'll start. Is there anything you guys are especially curious about?" Alice had the general idea for the route in her head, but was willing to change a few small things if they really wanted to see something specific.
 
Joey's first days at Hogwarts felt surreal but she didn't know anywhere in the school yet and had overheard that someone was going to give tours and seeing as she really didn't know anything about witchcraft she didn't want to miss a moment of her classes too. So she went to the Entrance Hall - one of the few places she knew the location of - and saw that there was in fact a small group forming. She turned on her nicest smile and walked towards the group. "Hi. Is there room for one more?" she asked the older girl, not knowing if they limited it to a certain amount of first years each time but it seemed a small group at the moment anyway.
 
Alice grinned at the young girl who joined the tour. She nodded at her. "Of course, plenty of room!" In fact, Alice had hoped for a bit more interest, but she figured it would be good to start now. She shouldn't let the kids wait too long, and maybe some others would join the tour once it was going on. She smiled and clapped in her hands, a little awkwardly with the sign. "Alright! Welcome to the tour. We'll be going to look at classrooms especially, as it is important to know where you'll have to go once classes start. If anyone has questions, I'm happy to answer them!" With that, she turned and raised the sign. "We'll be heading up the stairs first. The first floor corridor has many classrooms already." She said, starting to head up the main stars. She hoped the first years would follow her.
 
Chrissy was glad that she wasn't the only one after all and smiled as a boy joined her which she had seen before and spoken to. She figured his name was something like Stan? The brunette nodded at the boy in agreement. The girl wanted to wait a bit more for more to come and Chrissy just wanted to start. The brunette was not really patiënt. She had no idea what she wanted to see, so she just wanted to be suprised. Another girl joined a blonde one and Chrissy looked at the girl. Than the older girl spoke and wanted to start. Ofcourse they would visit classrooms and that would be handy ofcourse. '' Does every class have a different classroom?'' Chrissy asked already afraid that she had to remind them all. The brunette walked close to the older girl so she could hear the answer.
 
He turned his head back towards the girl holding the sign when she clapped her hands, excited for the tour around the castle to start. He listened attentively when she began, and nodded his head when she told them that they would mostly be visiting classrooms. ''Will we have classes.. eh.. all around the school?'' he asked when they started walking. If so then Stanislaw would do well to remember every corridor and hallway they would be taking during this tour.
 
Alice smiled at the girl who came to walk closer to her, and listened to her question. "They do." She said with a nod. "It's a little tricky at first, but you'll get used to it in no time." She said, hoping to reassure her a little. "And we'll be covering them all in this tour." She added. The boy who spoke next also had a question, and Alice nodded again. "They are, they are on different floors, and Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures are both outside." She explained.
