Sassenach | RAVENPUFF | Sing me a song of a lass that is gone | bookDRAGON | #awkwardturtle<#

It was FIHHNALYYY time to be sorted! Hanna had waited for ages, and her legs were getting sore. But when the time came for the doors to open, and they were invited inside, she soaked up EVERY inch of The Great Hall with her eyes. It would have been wonderful if her Gruncle Art or cousin Rosie was there, but they weren't. She waved to Gaston, but it was a little wave from a nervous eleven-year-old. There were just SO many faces looking towards them as they walked up to the stool with a hat on top. All of the Professors, who would be teaching Hanna, and the students of all four LONG house tables. Which one would she be sitting at soon? Which of the Professors up on the long Staff Dais would be her Head of House? Would Tenacious be her student leader? She didn't think she'd mind that at all.

On approaching the stool, she stopped walking and watched in amazement as it seemed to WAKE UP and bellow out a song. Hanna listened, amazed, at the mangy hat singing to them. It was rather fascinating. Once the song ended, names began being called out. Hanna took note of what the students did, and how the hat announced which house they belonged in.

"Newton, Hanna," was called out, and Hanna licked her lips and put one foot in front of the other.
She just had to walk up to the stool, pick up the hat, sit down, and put the hat on top of her head. That was all! There was no test, and she hadn't heard anyone's thoughts called out by the hat. Nobody would know her deepest, darkest secrets.

It was kind of spooky having the hat probe around in her thoughts. She didn't feel like it were an intrusion, though. Not really. He mentioned how her parents, Elyde and Adrian, had been sorted into Ravenclaw, and her Grandpa Walter and Grandma Mara were also Eagles. A few people from her family were Gryffindors, though. She saw herself in each of the robes, and heard the Hat's thoughts as he decided whether, in fact, Hufflepuff or Slytherin might be where she belonged. She was certainly loyal, hard working, and dedicated, like a Hufflepuff. But she was also ambitious and determined, like a Slytherin.

But no, the Sorting Hat would not claim this Newton as a rogue. But where would she belong? She felt her head move towards Gryffindor, where the Hat declared her as Brave and Courageous. Hanna thought the hat was a bit silly for saying that, though. She was very scared of heights, and a bit shy. Her head moved towards Ravenclaw next, and it was very obvious that of all the house traits, Hanna Newton identified most as a Ravenclaw. Mere seconds later, the Hat declared that Hanna Newton was a "RAVENCLAW!"

With delight, she hopped down from the stool, placed the hat back on top, and toddled off towards the Ravenclaw house table, where she would meet her fellow housemates.
