Default Sorting Hat Ceremony



The famous Sorting Hat sits on a stool at the front of the long Great Hall, in plain view of all who enter the feast. First years traditionally take their turn sitting on the stool and getting Sorted before joining their new house mates to loud cheers and thunderous applause.

Usually.


OOC: You may RP for the hat, but please limit yourself to one post.

"Bayless, Cinnamon."

Hey, that was her. That was her. Her name is Bayless, Cinnamon. Well it was the other way around but it was still her. The thirteen year old walked slowly up to the stool. She plopped down on the stool. The old hat was placed on her head. She was slightly nervous about this. But not really. A voice came from the hat.

"Ah, you're a tough little one aren't you? Let's see. Let's see. As cunning and ambitious as you are. Maybe not Slytherin."

She Not Slytherin, huh? Well she really didn't know about that. Or whatever This hat was awful rude, yeah?

"I see a great amount dedication and kindness. Loyal, yes. But patients you're lacking in that department young lady."

She rolled her eyes. That's what her dad always told her. She would always roll her eyes at him. And she was rolling her eyes at a hat now. Oh yes she was. Been at Hogwarts for 5 minutes starts getting sassy.

"Creative you are, yes creative. You also have a quirkyness and wit about you."

Quirkyness? Was this hat mental or something? She wasn't quirky was she? So the sorting hat had gone threw three houses now Slytherin first. Hufflepuff seem to fit the the next description. Wit, well that sounded like a Ravenclaw. So the last one left "Gryffindor!" She whispered. Almost in an echo she heard.

"Gryffindor!"

She covered her mouth to conceal the squeal that was coming from her mouth. Gryffindor. Just like her dad. She was quite pleased. She hopped off of the stool and skipped over it the Gryffindor table.

......

Agatha would've felt awkward if she was the only older kid amongst the first years that were about to be sorted, but she had already spotted a few other older kids with them, so yeah. Good.

The girl only flipped her hair once while she walked down the long way between the house tables and towards where the Sorting would happen. She was too busy looking around to the students who were already sitting down and, truth be told, she was also a bit nervous about the sorting. As she waited to be called, Agatha bit her lower lip several times and shifted her weight from one leg to the other.

Once her name was called, the thirteen year old walked over to where the stool was, grabbed the Hat and placed it on top of her head as she sat down. It was a rather large hat, because now she couldn't see anything. Merlin, this was annoying. She could feel many eyes upon her, waiting for the Hat to yell the name of a house. Yes, she knew how that worked, but this Hat shouldn't take too long because she wanted to be able to look at all those people who were certainly looking at her.

In fact, Agatha was so worried about not being able to stare back at all of the people who were surely staring at her at the moment that she barely paid attention to what the Hat was saying.

'You can be a little reckless and very impulsive...'

OI!

She felt like calling the Hat's attention and she almost told him to be quiet when she heard that, but she would seem silly, since no one but her could hear it speak. Agatha felt her face burn, but she grabbed the sides of the stool to resist the urge to take that Hat off her head at once.

When it went on about her being selfish and not carrying enough about others she did a proper glare inside the Hat - good thing no one could see her face either - but once again said nothing. Was this Hat created to insult them??? How rude! RUDE Hat.

'A sense of greatness, respect and... a need to prove yourself...'

.....Whatever, Hat. Just make a decision already. Merlin.

'And quite clever as well!'

Agatha literally gasped at that sentence. Clever!!?? People rarely told her she was clever! YES! She knew she was clever, of course, but people apparently failed to notice that most of the time. It turns out this Hat was not that silly after all. Agatha appreciated that the Hat was now complimenting her, so the it could take as long as it--

'SLYTHERIN!'

....Well, thank you very much, Hat. Merlin.

But hey! It seemed like she had a house now! And HEY! It wasn't the same one as Bart's! YES!!! "Thank you." Agatha said to the Hat as she placed it back on the stool. She did a little wave towards her uncle at the staff table and gave him a proud smile! He was proud of her, wasn't he? Of course he was. Oh, and hello Sophia and Airey! That was them over there, wasn't it? Their family friends. Yes, she knew them. She was friends with the professors, mind you. A little wave for them as well.

The girl did a double hair flip and walked over to the table which belonged to the BEST house.

Hogwarts. Finally.

Candice was waiting with the other First year and some older new students waiting to be sorted by the old hat. She keep looking towards the Hufflepuff table, hoping that her brother was there but unfortunately he already graduated.

Sigh.

"Messer, Candice"

That's her. Breath Candice. You can do this.

The eleven year old walked over to where the stool was. She could feel the other students were watching her. Willy didn't say that this's nerve wrecking. Gulp. When she already settle down on the stool, the hat was placed on her head.

'The other Messer. Hmm...I can see a lot of Hufflepuff quality in you. Just like your brother. Loyal'

WHAT?! No. Not Hufflepuff. Anything but Hufflepuff. She's not going in the same house as her brother was.

'You're a bit Feisty aren't you little one and brave as well'

......You're waisting my time, hat. Hurry up. I'm hungry.

'And I see that patient is not your best virtue. Alright then.......

GRYFFINDOR!'

Blink. Blink. Blink.

Whaaaaaaaaaaat...???!!! Gryffindor? "No take that back you old hat."

The hat was being removed from her head before she could even protest. And she was being told to go to her new house. Gryffindor. That stupid old hat. Hmmmppph.

SORTING TIME!

ajsfdlkjasd;lfjasdl;fja;sldkfj.

“Oh noooooooooooooooo. What if I don’t end up in…in…what’s the name of that house again?” he asked the next person beside him—which, well turned out to be air since he was standing at the back of the group. Mordred had been teasing Ethan about it the moment he got his letter from Hogwarts. His older cousin said he’d disown him if he don’t end up in his former house. “What if I don’t end up belonging to a house?” he thought as he made a face and turned around to see four long tables behind him, each adorned with its house colors. “Yeah, maybe I should ask the yellow group to adopt me. They look friendly enough!” he said to himself mentally as he gave them a friendly wave. “Haaaaaai!”

“Ethan Tyler Mordaunt.”

“Yeaaaaaaaah, cool ceiling they got here.” He said as looked up and admired the enchantment.

“ETHAN TYLER MORDAUNT!”

“That’s me! Uh…yeah…sorry! Uh…just, let me get up there…and…uh…” Ethan almost jumped out of his skin as his name was yelled out. “Sorry…still getting used to my new name…” he said sheepishly as he made his way through the crowd of first years. “…yeah…sorry…excuse me small person!!…sorry…” Ethan beamed at the person who was holding the sorting hat—which was by the way twitching its mouth, eager to shout out his house. The smile Ethan was wearing slooooooowly turned into a face of disgust as he felt his stomach churn. “Oh noooooooooooooooooo. It’s my turn!” Ethan inhaled, pouted his lips and exhaled as he sat on the stool and waited for the Sorting Hat to be placed on his head.

As soon as the boy’s vision was blocked, the sorting hat started to work. “Hello there.”

“HAAAAAAAI!!!” Ethan said out loud and waved at…no one in particular since he was already wearing the Sorting Hat and can’t see a thing.

“Shush child!” this is one weird boy…and a difficult one to sort! “I see. You came from a line of very capable wizards and witches. Yes, yes. Your father…ah yes, of course. Aldred was a very determined wizard, and so is your mother.”

At this point Ethan was already gaping at the crowd. How can the Sorting Hat know his parents?! “What...?” he asked out loud again as he tilted his head making the sorting hat tip to the side. “My mom and dad were sorted in the same house?” This is news!

“YES! Ah…this child. I’m beginning to wonder how in Merlin’s nightgown you ended up like this…” the sorting hat paused and grumbled ancient words. “Sit up straight, will you?” More grunts from the ancient hat. “Outspoken…clever…observant…oooh, but then you are…” The sorting hat continued to yap about his qualities and didn’t realize that it was taken off…

“Ack. I don’t like hats.” Ethan said as he removed the hat from his head and examined it. It did continue to talk even if he removed it off of his head. “You look funny when you talk!” he said as he pointed at it and laughed. He then stopped abruptly as he side glanced on his audience. Well, they were looking at him all right. “Think, Ethan. Quick.” The boy looked from the crowd, to the hat which was still talking, then to the crowd. Ethan placed his hand inside the hat and pretended to be a ventriloquist.

“You have a quick mind…but can be very careless, and…OI!” The sorting hat stopped its yapping and so did Ethan pretending to be a puppeteer. The two looked at each other, the other one clearly not impressed. “Put me back on your head so I could sort you properly!” the sorting hat frowned at the boy who just mirrored its mouth movement. “NOW!”

Ethan jerked on his seat and jammed the sorting hat on his head backwards.

“You are one weird child. But I see your strangeness can lead you to great things…” the sorting hat paused, looking like it was asking Salazar Slytherin for forgiveness.


“SLYTHERIN!”

Since Ethan wore the sorting hat backwards, the announcement was roared at the Staff Table.

Oops.

“SMITHEREENS!!!” Ethan removed the hat from his head after a few good minutes—a hatstall obviously and placed it on the stool. “Wait, Smithereens? What kind of name is that?” he asked the sorting hat as he placed his hands on his hips.

“SLYTHERIN! I PLACED YOU IN SLYTHERIN! NOW GO JOIN THEM!” If it was possible for the Sorting Hat to flame up, it would. “I should retire soon…”

Ethan shrugged, smiled and joined the group of people who applauded him the loudest. “Oh hey, Yellow People! It’s nice to be here!” he said as he sat beside a smiley Hufflepuff. “Well, this is a bit weird. Mordred said he was housed in the toughest looking house…”

Something, was clearly amiss.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Marisol hadn't noticed it, but she was thumping her foot violently on the floor in preparation. Obviously, she was nervous. It made her feel a little better that she wasn't the only one. Others were much worse off, and one kid looked like they were going to cry, wet their robes, or possibly a combination of the two.

"Cruz Martínez, Marisol!" someone somewhere shouted. Oh my, that was her! They botched the pronunciation, but still, it was her! Was this hyperventilating or what? Mari walked shakily up to the stool with a frumpy, old hat and put it on. It awkwardly covered her eyes and began to talk. She was pretty sure that Beauxbatons wouldn't have been this, um, eccentric. But it fit her personality.

"Hmmm," the Hat said. "Nervous, eh?"
"Well, of course," the first year thought. "This is a big decision, ya know?" Oh my, the hat could read her mind! Her previous statement sounded sassy now.
"A Spaniard, right? Plenty of spunk, cleverness and lots of ambition. Courage, too, and a bit of selfishness. It seems to me that you don't like to dilly-dally, no? Just jump right into things?
"Um, I guess. You can describe me better than I can, so just go on."
"You could easily be either Gryffindor or Slytherin."
"Okay, then. I like the sound of ambition and cleverness."
"Let's put you in...

SLYTHERIN!!!


Mari was in shock as she walked to her table. This was really, really cool! These people probably held a lot of potential friends, however tough they looked. Marisol Cruz could just tell this was going to be epic.

To PIGFARTS and beyond! ♥ Where the sky is blue ♥

Sinead was hungry, really hungry. So maybe she'd had plenty of sweets on the train but THEY WEREN'T ENOUGH.

So she was looking forward to a nice hot dinner, maybe chicken or something. But then she had to queue up for HOURS just to get a mouldy old hat stuck on her head to shout out something meaningless to her.

Food was more important than this.

Obviously they didn't agree. It took forever for someone to finally call out "O'Dowd, Sinead." Grinning and thinking of food, she skipped up to the chair and sat down.

Food, food, food, she chanted in her head. She almost had food.

"Brave, I see," the hat said. Why was the hat TALKING? She thought it only said the house name, not actually TALKED. "There is arrogance, too."

What? "I'm right here, you know!" she exclaimed impatiently. "And I want food. Just shout out a house and be done with it!" It wasn't that hard.

"GRYFFINDOR!"

She skipped over to what she hoped was the Gryffindor table, sighing in relief.

Now she could sit down and eat... right?

Penelope nervously waited for her name to be called. Not only was she nervous, but she was also hungry, and hoped that she would be able to eat after she was sorted. From what she had read about the houses, she thought she would do well in Ravenclaw, where a bunch of really smart people were.

"Wright, Penelope!" was called out, and Penelope went up to the stool and sat down. She could hear the hat talking, and evaluating her, deciding what house to put her in.

" Hmm... Quite clever, witty, intelligent"

"Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw," Penelpoe thought.

"Alright then, Ravenclaw!," the hat roared.

Penelope hopped off the stool and excitedly walked over to the Ravenclaw table.

This was it, this was totally it,

and everyone was staring, why couldn't they go into a room and get sorted in private why did they have to do it in front of everyone in the middle of this massive hall.

O___________o

Angel was a bit scared when the Hat talked to her, she had heard that it would but still she wasn't used to hats talking, all this was just plain weird and she was wishing her sisters could have gone first.

"I can see your brave." The hat whispered to her. "And that sometimes you can be impatient." The hat continued. "But your also smart and like to read." The hat continued on with the talking and Angel wished that it would just make up it's mind, so she could leave the stool.

"I know just where to put you." The hat whispered into her ears before shouting out "GRYFFINDOR!!!!!!!!!"

Angel hopped of the stool and went over to the Gryffindor table, she was so excited.

Was it her turn yet? Aubrey was literally bouncing up and down in excitement. Her two sisters were before her and she waited no so patiently for their results. She didn't realize that everybody was going to be there watching her, but that didn't bother her too much. She was waaaay more concerned in actually getting placed into a house. Her thoughts went to all of the conversations she had in Diagon Alley with people that she had ran into. AJ had only met a Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs and they were both pretty certain that they belonged to the best house. She kind of hoped that she would gt into the same house as some of the friends that she managed to make, but she would still be able to see them so there was always that.

Her head jerked up as her sister was just placed into Gryffindor. "Yay Ang!" She watched as her sister walked off towards the lion table. Next was Abby. She bit her lip while she waited for the results. Ravenclaw... So obviously DNA didn't matter. "Congrats Abby!" Her sister walked off in a totally different direction than Angel.

"Aubrey Janel Valentine." The hat screeched.

It was her turn. This was for all the marbles. She practically ran to the stool and pulled the hat on her head. In an instance the hat was talking to her. So that part that she was told had been true. This was too cool. It was inside her head.

"My, my, my... what have we here?" A child waiting not so patiently to be sorted she thought. Oh wait, the hat would hear her thoughts right? Maybe snarky thoughts wouldn't do her any favors here.

"Another Valentine, all of which came from muggles.." Yes, yes... that is true.

"Bold, very bold and apparently very brave. Had us a little incident in Knockturn Alley already did we?" Oh no, the hat wouldn't tell her mum right?

"Ah yes, loyal and a good friend." How did this hat know all of this? She wanted one of these magical things.

"You can have a bit of a short temper too when tested. Very interesting." Tell me the house already she thought.

"You have a lot to prove too, well then..." Was this it? Was she finally going to find out her home for the next year?

"...better be Gryffindor!!!"

Aubrey beamed from ear to ear. She was excited that she already knew one person in her house, her very own sister. There was that older girl that she met at the robe shop too. Hmmm... she wondered why Abby went to a different house and Angel and Aubrey ended up at the same house. Nothing that she was going to worry about now because she had a feast to get to. She hopped down off of the stool and placed the hat back down on it and walked off to her fellow lions.

Bree hade felt so excited as she exited the boat and made her way into the magnificent castle before her with all her fellow first years. But just as the doors opened to the hall for her and her classmates she remembered she was gonna get sorted into a Hogwarts house chosen my some old hat in front of everyone. She watched as her classmates took their turn knowing she was going to be next to last with her adopted last name. Her real one was not one that would look kindly upon her with many and she knew it so even the thought of getting her up there and over with this sooner vanished from her mind quickly. In time she realized she would be up soon and then the prompter called out.

"Bree Veras"


Bree gulped as she walked up to the front and sat on the stool. The sorting hat was soon placed upon her hat.

Sorting Hat:

"Ah, you are a very interesting specimen, you come from two pureblood evil Slytherins. But that's not you. Oh no, you were lucky to escape that life or you may not be here but I can see in your heart that you want to be a Slytherin and to try and change its reputation. A brave and noble ambition but that's not where you belong. You have been through a lot growing up with people who don't understand how special you are. Though I am afraid with you teetering on the edge of being a good witch and seeking revenge for those who wronged you, you need a house that will steer you in the right direction, I know whats on your heart dear child. so it better be Gryffindor


Bree was shaken, she had no idea the hat could sense her inner thoughts and feelings. She could definitely also see that the hat was right. She needed guidance, and Slytherin may lead her down a slippery slope to become something she would regret. Her adoptive parents always taught her to seek the light in everything no matter how dark the situation seemed and now as a Gryffindor she could use its values to seek light in this new world she prayed would not be as dim as the one she left behind.

Default Using an instance from Ethan's (Mordred) sorting! XD
Snake disguised as Raven Browncoat

Standing in a crowd of new students waiting to be sorted felt… odd. Very odd. A predominant reason for that was most likely that bulk of those around him were in their first year, and standing around looking gobsmacked at all of the floating candles. Once he’d satisfied himself that said candles wouldn’t be raining down hot wax at any point in the near future, Nicholas lost interest. Unfortunately, he couldn’t lose the feeling of sticking out like a sore thumb. He wouldn’t call himself tall for his age, no matter what his mother was saying about him growing like a weed, but next to all of these eleven-year-olds he might as well have been a giant. Thankfully there appeared to be a few other transfer students (either that or they were freakishly fast to develop), but it would be his luck that they were far enough away in the crowd to prevent a conversation.

The professor in charge of the sorting didn’t seem to be going in any particular order, at least as far as he could tell, which meant he had to pay attention to each and every name being called. Finally he heard his own, and as he threaded his way through the sea of shorter students decided not to be embarrassed by the curious looks some were sending up at him.

Having watched other students go through this process, including Sheep-lover O’Dowd, he knew what to expect; walk up the steps, turn, sit, have hat placed on head, and have it call out one of the four houses. That being said, he was thinking instructions to himself all the way up and cursing himself for being so particular about it. Don’t trip on the steps, don’t squeak your shoes when you turn, sit square so you don’t tip off, and here comes the hat.

As soon as the hat settled on his head, he had another thought, I hope this thing doesn’t have any lice in it.

If I do I’m not telling.

Nicholas was suddenly very thankful he’d sat so very square on the stool, because he jerked when the hat talked right into his head. Immediately after he let out an irritated huff of air. I don’t know why that surprised me. I’ve seen other children be sorted.

A puzzlement, isn’t it? Perhaps you’re not meant for Ravenclaw after all.

Nicholas felt a twist in his stomach, No no, Ravenclaw’s ideal! That’s the scholarly house isn’t it?! With people who actually know how to hold a book the right way up?!

That’s not entirely--

I have to be there!

I’ll have to take a look at all of your traits. Hmmmmmmm…. Let me seeeeeee….

He could have sworn the hat was being unnecessarily smug about its control over his scholastic fate. Nicholas sat there in nerve-wracking silence, but when his nerves had been thoroughly wracked—which to be fair was only fifteen seconds or so—and the hat still didn’t say anything he felt his indignation take the place of nerves. Eventually he snipped, Did you enjoy being a hand puppet?

You would do well in Slytherin, with that attitude.

Put me there then. I’ll raise the literacy level if I have to shove the textbooks up their nostrils.

…oh very well, you’re so obviously a RAVENCLAW!

Nicholas flinched, and offered the parting quip of, Apparently I’m to be a deaf one before the hat was taken from his head. Though it was too late for the accessory to give a verbal response, it did shoot him a leathery frown as he walked towards the cheering Ravenclaw table.

Lucy was excited when she walked into the Castle..when the doors were opened to the Great hall she watched the Sorting Hat in front of her and she was scared..Soon she had to talk with the old Hat..
"Petersfield Lucy"..Lucy winced and trembling she sat on the stool. The sorting hat was placed upon her head.."I can see your bravery but also your loyalty .. you are not very patient nor hardworking but I see you love to fight for what you believe in .. you have a great sense of right and wrong.. and the friendship is very important for you..but you also like to get first.. GRYFFINDOR!!!"
Lucy has placed the hat on the stool and she walked off to her classmates, smiling at the table of the Lions...

Bryant felt like a giant standing among all the little first year students waiting to be sorted. That was the problem with 1: transferring into a school after the typical age of entry and 2: having a name that started with an M. Morris took forever to get to when going through the alphabet. The fifteen year old, scratched his chin as he stood waiting. His only consolation about standing there was that he wasn't the only non-first year in the bunch.

Finally, they got to the M's and soon heard his name called out. "Morris, Bryant." Squeezing past all the little first years, Bryant made his way up to the stool, blushing slightly as he sat and the hat was placed on his head. After a few moments of quiet, he nearly jumped out of his skin when it started talking.


"Jumpy, are we?" The hat said. "Not really one to pull pranks, especially when you can't even bump someone without apologizing... not that it's a bad thing." It continued.

Great... now the entire school knew he was jumpy and didn't pull pranks. Well, not the entire school but he at least felt like they did. Bryant thought as he sat there listening. "So what does that mean?" He asked the hat, curious to know.

"Curious fellow, aren't you? It means you're not meant to be a Slytherin, cunning pranksters they can be." The hat replied. "No... I don't see you among their ranks. You're more of a people person, or better yet a book person. You did go to a school for the gifted..."

"So where are you going to put me then? I really wanna know, rather than sit here..." Bryant added, bringing his voice down to a whisper.

"You're a smart boy, shouldn't you be able to tell? Well, might as well tell you.... better be...
RAVENCLAW!!"
The hat cried out.


With a deep sigh, Bryant got up once the hat was removed and made his way down to join the blue table amid the cheers of the crowd.

Sweet. MERLIN.

Grayson stuck out like a sore thumb, he did. There were a ton of tiny munchkins here -- were eleven year olds always this small? -- and then him. Luckily for him, there were some other older kids amongst the group so he didn't feel as left out as he would have as he made his way towards a spot near the Staff Table where the Sorting was going to take place.

The great thing about his surname beginning with W was the fact that he could quietly observe all the sortings that were going on. And, even moreso, the students that were being Sorted. Just look at all these tiny little munchkins. Titchy, they were. Nervous, too, from what he could tell. A small smirk spread across his face as he matched up the people with the description that Lex had given him about the different houses. Like look! There went a smart nutter. A brave person was joining the reds, which was apparently the best house. Not many huggers finders were around. Though that kid over there did go to join them when he was clearly meant to be in the house of the annoying people. Shaped like an idiot, that one was.

"WHITLOCK, GRAYSON DOUGLAS!"

.......................................... Looks like it was time.

The fourteen year old had been nervous before, sure, but he had merely buried it beneath a cool and composed exterior. Now? Now it was starting to show in the way he bit his lip and held his breath before approaching the stool. The boy sat down on the stool and waited for the Sorting Hat to be placed on his head. This was it.

"A transfer, eh?"

HOLY. FREAKING. WHAT?!

"Yes, I can talk to you. And read your thoughts too so don't even think about swearing while I'm sitting on your head."

How the--

"I just know, don't question it, Whitlock." Grayson rolled his eyes. "Now... you're a tough kid, a little reckless too at times." The boy smirked. "You're a lot more selective about who you choose to be loyal to, which leaves out the Hufflepuff house." And I'm not a hugger, thank you very much. "A keen observer, but not one to harness this into the right way." Your right is different to my right then, ol' Hat. And his right was the better one, mkay?

"Moving swiftly on, you have a sense of self-worth and a lot of complacency. The thirst to prove yourself and a sense of achieving greatness stands strong in you so you'd better be..."

Was this a drumroll worthy moment?

"... SLYTHERIN!"

SMIRK.

Ha! He'd gotten sorted into a house. His eyes flew over towards the side of the Hall where the people wearing green-ties were sitting. Green wasn't a bad colour. Now that he had been sorted, the sense of self-pride was coming back. And to think he had been nervous about this. What had he even had to do? Jam a hat on his head and let it tell him which house had the pleasure of having him be a part of them. Thanking the hat, Grayson took it off and placed it on the stool before heading off towards the Slytherin house table.

And he wasn't annoying now, thank you very much Lex.

The blonde looked around at the other students, some looked like first years and other looked like transfers like herself. The thirteen year old rubbed her hands along her robes, they were getting a little sweaty. Emmylou bounced a bit on the balls of her feet. She was nervous. She was a transfer and a third year she knew that it didn't matter what house she was in but coming from a Slytherin mother and Ravenclaw father she had a gut feeling that it did matter, well it mattered to her mother mostly. But then Emmylou thought of what her Auntie Raeanne told her, it didn't matter what house she was in, she wished her mother was more like that. Was it her turn yet? Emmylou stood on her tip toes to try and get a good look over the taller students' heads. Why did she have to ben short.

"DUCHANNES, EMMYLOU LEELA."

Emmy heard a name but she couldn't make it out at first but then she let the name run through her head a couple more times. THAT WAS HER NAME. Gulp. Emmylou pushed past some students as she made her way up to the stool and sat on it. Emmylou felt the hat set on her head. What was going to happen now.

"Another transfer. Mhm. Yes." Emmylou jumped at the voice. What was going on. "I see a lot of courage hiding in you." Emmylou blinked a few times. Her courageous, maybe a bit. "Ah, but you are very loyal and show kindness to even the most unkind people but Hufflepuff will not suit you because of your lack of patients." Emmy's ocean blue eyes looked up at the hat. I have patients, I have lots of patients. You don't know what you're talking about you're just a dusty old hat. "There it is, that short temper. I know just where to put you." Just knew where to put her?

"GRYFFINDOR!"

The blonde looked around and saw a table cheering for her, but that wasn't the same house as Kace or Lux but Cinna and Bart were in the same house as her and LOU BOO! Emmylou grinned brightly. She felt relieved that she wasn't in Slytherin, she had nothing against Slytherin's she just felt that she wouldn't do best there and she knew that her mother would be disappointed in her but oh well. Emmylou felt the hat being lifted off of her head, she stood up and walked over to the cheering table that must have been Gryffindor. She was a Gryffindor, a beautiful Lioness. She had to admit that lions were pretty awesome. Emmylou ran over to her house to great everyone.

Maddison was looking everywhere but at the sorting hat. What did she care where other first years were sorted? She had things to take in! So so so so many things! Like the ceiling in the Great Hall? She’d read about it on several occasions but books definitely did not do it justice. It was just…and it made her feel…and it was so…JHSJHSLHKJ! Inner fangirling was happening. The small brunette stared it up at it with wide eyes and was so captivated by its splendor, she nearly missed her name being called.

…OOPS.

The eleven year old straightened up a bit and navigated her way through the crowd of students rather easily. She wasn’t pushing, per say. Nooo, Maddie was more giving gentle nudging reminders that it was her turn to go. Kind, she was.

After seating herself on the stool, Maddison took a deep breath and relaxed. She tried very hard not to think about how many people before her had worn this same hat. She also tried not to think about whether or not the hat was cleaned on a regular basis. She’d seen some questionable use of hair gel on the express and the last thing she wanted was the remnants of ancient gel touching her head. EW. And why a hat? The thing practically covered her eyes and it definitely looked ridiculous. NOT …that Maddison Arabella Cooper cared what anyone thought. ‘Course she didn’t! She was independent. YUP! But perhaps her not being able to see was the point? It seemed like it was just her and the hat and maybe that’s the way it was supposed to feel. Maybe that made her connect with it better or something. …Maybe. And speaking of the hat, it was saying lots of things. Chatterbox, the hat was. She wondered if it was just her hearing its words or if others could too and for a moment she shifted in her seat. She didn’t like private things made public and the sorting felt too personal a thing to share. But she couldn’t exacty go back now. Eyebrows slightly raised, she considered whether or not the Hat knew that it was itchy when-

“It’s got to be…RAVENCLAW!”

Wait, Raven-what? It was done? The brunette blinked and shrugged her shoulders, waiting for the hat to be removed before popping up off the stool. Those claw people were represented by Eagles, yeah? She could be an Eagle. She could TOTALLY be an eagle. They ruled the skies, didn’t they? She could be QUEEN of the sky. Yes, she liked Ravenclaw very much.

Now to find a seat near the badged people so she could do some observing.

"Moore, Austin."

Austin froze. He wasn't expecting to be chosen so soon. He felt as though he was one of the first to be picked, instead of one of the last few. Taking a deep breath, Austin walked up to the stool, and sat down. Everyone's eyes were on the boy, and he could feel his face become red. He knew he wanted to be in Ravenclaw, but if he was chosen to be in a different house, he didn't want to have to fake smiles and cheer as if he were happy to be put there.

The hat was put on his head, and immediately began speaking. "Ah, Austin Moore. I remember when both your parents were sitting right where you are. Your mother, so smart, while your father, so cunning and witty. You seemed to have picked up both these aspects from your parents. This can both help you and halt you in your journeys ahead. Now, where to put you."

In the hat's pause, Austin continued to think about Ravenclaw. The blue color, and the common room (Or what he imagined from his mother's stories). He wanted to prove his worth, and earn his way into that house. He wanted to show the world that his healing abilities were like no other, and he didn't feel like he was going to get that from any other house.

"Hmm... You seem to enjoy Ravenclaw a lot. But I think you would also benefit from being in the Slytherin house. They are not such a bad lot, you know."

Austin just shook his head slightly, afraid of what was about to come next.

"Well.. Fine then... I'll put you in RAVENCLAW!"

A cheer erupted from the Ravenclaw table, as the hat was removed from Austin's head. He felt as if he was flying over to that table. He couldn't be happier than that moment.

After a pretty cramped boat ride where they didn't get to meet the squid they were finally here. Kyroh was finally here. FINALLY INSIDE HOGWARTS CASTLE WHERE THERE WOULD BE MAGIC AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER STUFF!!!!! Literally bouncing on his toes his brown eyes shifted around to take in his surroundings. He nooot been in this room when he had visited before. But he knew its name. The Great Hall. It was were people ate and stuff but more IMPORTANTLY- there were floating candles and the ceiling looked like a night sky. With stars and stuff and it was AWESOME and- Kyroh waved his hands excitedly - accidentally smacking the kid who stood beside him. "Oops. Sorry."

Looking over at the kids at the tables Kyroh mentally began listing off the house names. He didn't care that much about the other kids getting sorted. He didn't even know them. The houses though, Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. The only house that really mattered to him was the last one. Slytherin, because THAT was where he was going to end up.

"Scabior, Kyroh."

Uh. Eyes shooting up to the front, Kyrohs brows came together. That was him yes? "Why is my last name first? That's silly." And weird. Huh. Yeah. Wait- SORTING. Pushing his way past a few kids in front of him, Kyroh stumbled over to the stool, and stared at the hat for a few seconds. It was old. Really old. Like gray and faded and super old. Did it even work anymore? He didn't have a chance to voice his question before he was ushered onto the stool and the sorting hat was plopped on his head, covering his sight completely.

It was then when the hat began to speak.

Ahhh a Scabior, we have not had one of you in a while.

"That was my papa!" Kyroh answered back in excitement. Could he talk back to the hat? Well he was taking back to the hat. "He was a Slytherin, like you should make me. I'm surprised you even remember though 'cause you're kind of really old."

Tactless I see. Just like the others in your family. I can see why you think you'd belong in Slytherin.

Kyroh nodded, agreeing with the hat. He wasn't sure if it was suppose to be a compliment or an insult, but it mentioned Slytherin so then it had to be right, right? Even it it was old. Kicking his feat Kyroh waited for the hat to say more.

You seem to be caring. Relatively honest and loyal as well. You'd do well in Hufflepuff.

Uhhh what? Kyroh blinked. "No thank you. Not Hufflepuff. " One of his aunts was a Hufflepuff sure but Kyroh was not. He was a Slytherin.

Not Hufflepuff? I suppose- Gryffindor however-

"NOT GRYFFINDOR." The boy yelled. No one in his family liked Gryffindors. He couldn't be one of those! Then his family would not like him! "I can't be a Gryffindor. I'm a Slytherin please just say Slytherin so I can go now." He didn't like this at all. He didn't. He was suppose to be a Slytherin. Like his dad and his dad's, dad and maybe even his dad's, dad's, dad. Kyroh didn't know how far it went back but he knew ALL the Scabior males were Slytherins.

Slytherin? Oh yes boy, you do have some Slytherin traits. But I can so clearly see a thirst for knowledge in you.

What was this insane hat saying? Kyroh frowned, wringing his hands together. He was not impressed at all. "Here listen- how about you put me in Slytherin and when the adults decide that the need a better younger newer sorting hat i'll be one of the people that votes to keep you. How about it? Win win right?

The sorting hat was silent for a few moments. Are you bribing me?

"I wouldn't call it bribing, that doesn't seem nice. More like helping you." He paused. "Helping you to help m-."

"RAVENCLAW!"

The hat exclaimed to the students before Kyroh was even finished talking.Throwing off the hat, angry tears began to pool up in his eyes as boy pulled out his wand. "If I knew what the spell was for fire i'd BURN you with my wand!" Kyroh yelled before stomping his way over to the Ravenclaw table.

Even after nearly capsizing several times, Norah's excitement when leaving the boats was unmatched by anything she could remember, which is saying something because excitement was certainly an emotion she felt quite a lot. She couldn't stop herself from bouncing on the balls of her feet to get a good look at the hall over the heads of her peers who, much to her chagrin, were all taller than her despite their similarity in age. She felt her mouth fall open at the sight of the hall's magnificence.
"Kittredge, Norah."
Her eyes stayed glued on the faces of the students, more than she had imagined, all staring back at her and her classmates. They looked like they were waiting for something...
"KITTREDGE, NORAH"
WAIT. That was her name wasn't it. Norah's face flushed, approaching the redness of her auburn hair, as she hastened to the front of the crowd. She concentrated all her effort on not tripping and embarrassing herself further, for her skinny legs had begun to tremble with nerves excitement; let's call it excitement.
She stopped short at the hat sitting on the stool. She knew her parents had worn the sorting hat when they were at Hogwarts a million years ago, but she didn't think it would be so...old. She sat down and pulled it on, letting it fall to the bridge of her nose. Yup. That definitely smelled old.

Hmmm. Lots of intelligence and a good amount of curiosity as well. Not Slytherin, I suppose, for you lack the shrewdness and ambition they so prize.
Hey! She was so ambitious! Okay, maybe that was a lie.
Ahh, yes. Your honesty shows through, girl. And quite a lot of loyalty. Yes, yes. I know just where to put you.
"HUFFLEPUFF!"

Norah exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. Hufflepuff! She took back what she had thought before, this was definitely the most exciting moment ever. She didn't even hold back from skipping to the table that was the source of the shouting and applause. Sometimes skipping can be very appropriate.

Whoever had invented alphabetical ordering was NOT Dima's favorite person at the moment, 'cause he was gonna have to wait forever to get a house. But when his name was called, he BOLTED up there. Toussaint, Dmitriy Yves! THAT WAS HIM! HIM! WAIT FOR HIM!

Offering big grins and waves to the other students, he took a seat on the stool. One of those would be HIS table! In like three seconds! Okay go!

He wriggled a little and let the hat be placed on his head, greeting the old thing that covered his eyes and half his nose. "Hi Mr. Hat! How are you?"

Er, hello. I'm fine, thanks. Ah! Another Toussaint, I see. I remember your aunt and uncle. Both very clever, it's true, but in different ways.

"They still are!"

And what are you, boy?

"Yep, I AM a boy," Dima assured the hat seriously. Couldn't it tell?

A few minutes of silence passed. He swung his feet idly and pulled funny faces at the rest of the Great Hall's occupants, and at least four minutes had passed when he couldn't take the boredom anymore. The eleven year old started chattering aimlessly to the hat for something to do.

"Did the other kids have clean heads, Mr. Hat? I washed mine real well this morning, so you don't have to worry about germs coming from me! But like, you won't gimme lice, right? 'Cause my mum would be really grossed out and might never talk to me again, and I'd probably have to shave my head and then I'd be BALD like the Groundskeeper and did you know he eats kids and is that lega-"

"RAVENCLAW!"

Huh? It was over? "Why?" The hat said nothing else, and it was taken away despite his best efforts to grab the brim. No no no he had to KNOW.

But he could figure out later, he supposed. Hopping off the stool, Dima bounded over to his new table. Hi people!

Oh my goodness that was her name! Arista took a breath and walked up to the stool. As soon as she sat down the hat was placed on her head. Oh my gosh here came the horrible part...Where the hat spoke its mind.

'You can be impulsive, adventurous.'

Excuse me!!?

She felt like yelling at the hat but she decided she would just ignore it!!! Her mum would so not approve. But the hat was being rude first. Sigh that argument never won, she would just let it happen and then be mean to it later when you know it was not on top of her head, sounded good?

"Ignore me. Now that is a new one... So rude lets add that to the list. But it seems your mum has tried to make you a princess, on how you should act anyways."

AH thank you hat for the embarrassment!!
She would so be ignoring the hat forever now!!!

"Loyal, smart, courageous. Maybe Hufflepuff??"

Huffelpuff... No.

"No Hufflepuff, eh?"

No. Her family would not get that satisfaction!

"Well then it better be GRYFFINDOR!!"

She smiled okay it was better than Hufflepuff. And her mum would love it after all it was her mum's house.

So this was Hogwarts, huh?

Ezra had watched with wide eyes as he crossed the lake, after being shoved into a tiny boat with the Kyroh boy he'd met on the train. They hadn't talked much once the train pulled into the station at Hogsmeade though everyone had been too excited and things had switched from talking of family and what classes they were taking to how big the Castle was and how nervous they were for the Sorting Ceremony.

The thought of the food also floated in and out of his mind as he looked up in awe at the fortress on the hill with it's brightly lit windows and turrets that seemed to scratch the sky.

Once they had made it into the Castle they turned and entered probably the biggest room Ezra had seen before in his entire life! "Woooah." He said without realizing he had spoken out loud. The ceiling really DID look like it was gone, just like his dad said it would. And there were more floating candles than his mom described, he was sure of it. As he followed the line of kids down the middle of the aisle to the front of the hall, he felt a something hit him on the side of the head to his left. Kyroh had smacked him in excitement--or at least that's what he hoped it had been from. He hadn't done anything! But maybe he was trying to get his attention to show him the candles too. The eleven year old hadn't even taken notice of the hundreds of students already seated at the four tables or the adults looking at them with mild interest. They'd be teaching him for the next seven years and soon they would be judging him like everyone else when he was sorted.

GULP.

Speaking of the sorting, there was the old hat sitting on the stool. It was actually kind of gross that every student who EVER attending Hogwarts had worn and would wear that hat. Did they clean it?

The sorting had begun before he could remember if he'd read about the hat cleaning ceremony or not in Hogwarts, A History. A few students went to Ravenclaw and Slytherin, one to Hufflepuff and then...

"EARNEST, EZRA!"

It was his turn. Not many had gone yet but that's what happens when you're at the beginning of the alphabet. He stepped forward leaving the students that he had walked in with and made his way to the stool before placed the hat on his head. At least it didn't stink. He sat there for a few seconds before a voice sounded in his ears.

"Earnest eh, would be quite a bit of amusement to put you in Hufflepuff..."

Hufflepuff? He didn't want that did he? Ezra had never even considered that House. He's only thought about Ravenclaw and Gryffindor because of the fact his parents had been in those Houses.

"But, I'd lose my credibility if I gave way to all my silly whims. An eager mind lies under your crown that's for sure and a desire to prove yourself..."

Well, of course he wanted to prove himself, that's what school was about right? "Gryffindor and Ravenclaw both would be good, right?" He asked the hat after stumbling on his words at first. He'd never talked to a hat before, okay? "My parents were in those Houses, and my great uncle Gaellen Tate, the guy who used to run this place was in Gryffindor too." he said proudly to the hat. Had any of HIS apparel family run Hogwarts?

"Eagerness is apparent if not at the expense of your humility..."

Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on. Ezra felt like he'd been sitting there for an hour--the eyes of the other first years stared at him from their place a few feet away. They needed to be sorted to and would already hate him before the school year started if he took too long.

"Patience boy, but that is not something easily acquired. How about....GRYFFINDOR!"

"Thank you!" Ezra hopped up from his seat and bounded down the stair. He stopped and waved at Kyroh, the train boy, before heading over to find a seat at the table that had just erupted with applause

Nola waited, no so patiently, for her turn with the Sorting Hat. As she watched as the other students approached the Hat. As exciting as it was to see her peers get sorted and sent off to their respective tables, Nola was starting to get very antsy and starting to bounce up and down on her toes. It didn't help either that she was short and couldn't see everything either. Or that she was just wearing her bright blue socks on her little feet, and her toes were just a little bit cold.

"Yorker, Nola!"

When Nola heard her name called out she squeaked in excitement and ran to the front. I really do like hats. She thought to herself as she felt the hat settle down on top of her head.

"Hmm. An interesting one." the hat began. "I see that you are bright, but also very loyal."

Nola's eyes were peering out at everyone who was staring up at her. It was then that she realized how wonderful Hogwarts was going to be. Oh, come on. Hurry up, please. Nola thought.

"Impatience is a weakness but you are very true. Some may say you're different, but I see great things in your future because of it." The quiet was quiet in Nola's ears for quite some time. She worried that it might have died. Could a magical artifact/thing die?

Nola was about to take the hat off and tell the Headmisstress that the hat was a goner when


"Hufflepuff!"

The hat was taken off of Nola's head and she slowly started to walk towards the Hufflepuff table. "Hufflepuff!" Nola smiled.
