 Anashti l Brat Pack l Sally & Dr. Finklestein
Much like each exciting experience throughout this process, Vera couldn't stop herself from bouncing on her feet while she waited for her turn to step up to the Sorting Hat. It was funny, in all of the moments she'd envisioned herself at Hogwarts, she hadn't known exactly which house she would belong to. Part of her wanted to be a Slytherin, merely because the mascot was her favorite creature, but the whole cunning thing didn't sound like something that was her. Cunning, to her, went hand in hand with thinking ahead. And Vera was... impulsive, in a word.
And Ravenclaw? It wasn't even a consideration. Her brother was the thinker between the pair of them, it's why she deferred planning to him and she did the acting. So no... Ravenclaw was definitely not where she would be placed.
So that left Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. Did she consider herself brave? No not really, but she also didn't consider herself hard working. Perhaps she could be loyal though and... well... what had been the other stuff the hat had just said about the houses? She hadn't been paying attention, finally giving thought to where she'd be placed.
Next thing she knew, her internal inquiry was placed on hold when her name was called and it was her turn to stalk up to the sorting hat. Vera shook her hands a little bit, feeling just the tiniiiiiest hint of nerves as she realized this was where she could be separated from her comfort people, EVEN the ones she didn't get along with the best. Taking a deep breath, she squared her shoulders though and then took a seat on the stool as the hat was placed upon her head.
The head didn't even deliberate in her ear, it sat down on her head and shouted.
"Better be... GRYFFINDOR."
The girl's face stretched into a wide smile as she jumped off the stool, nearly forgetting to take the hat off and having to go back a couple of steps to correct her mistake, before skipping off towards the long red table to find herself a spot to sit.
