 Slytherin by heart
The Beta-Eriksons were coming up next, and Armand was called up first. If there was anywhere he expected to be, it was following after his family lineage of Slytherin. He sat upon the stool as if it were a throne (though obviously the only place for his hands was in his lap) and let the Sorting Hat upon his head.
There wasn't much moment between the had touching the boy's head and a few grumbles, before the announcement was made: "Slytherin!!"
Damien was up next, and he had his own worries. He wasn't as confident as his twin, and was told he was strangely much like the child he'd never have a chance to meet that he was named after. His father, of course, never met the child either, so they only had his grandfather's comments to go off of. And as the hat was placed upon his head, he could hear the mumbles and grumbles and whispers of Hufflepuff. "Slytherin, please. Like my family, like my brother... I can do better. I can push harder."
"Do better, push harder, you say..." the Sorting Hat repeated. "Is that so? Do you have the ambition it takes to compete for the best?"
"Yes! Yes I swear it!" Damien said emphatically but quietly.
"Very well then. Show us what you can do. Slytherin!!"
Damien signed with relief and ran up to his brother, who was waiting halfway between the sorting hat and the Slytherin table. He took his twin's hand, and the two walked there together.
