"You know, me and my husband were both Hufflepuffs, yet somehow our three kids each ended up in Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor." Strange but she also wasn't the least bit surprised by any of the sortings.

"Sometimes sortings follow family trends and other times they don't. It has no correlation to you as a Vance." She looked towards the great hall doors. "The sorting hat has sorted thousands of students over the centuries, but one thing I know for certain is that while some people have deemed it to be incorrect, the students always seem to show their true houses and make the best of it. So you have two choices, you can either be upset about the sorting - spend your next 7 years miserable - or you can march back in there with your brave, intelligent self and maybe try to meet your new housemates. I think you might find yourself pleasantly surprised by the variances in Ravenclaws." She paused.... "I do know that the sorting is almost through and the headmaster is about to make his customary speech and the delicious feast is to be served. So my suggestion is you go to the loo, wash your face up and go meet some new Ravenclaws. And I promise you this, it's going to be a spectacular and adventurous 7 years."

When auntie Amelia put a consoling hand on her shoulder Emmie leaned in for a bit, closing her eyes as she listened to the advice she was given in silence. She had two choices apparently, she could either be miserable or be brave and meet her new housemates, and maybe just maybe find her inner ravenclaw as the year went on.

Opening her dark eyes to look up at her aunt Emmie shared her thoughts. "I get that I have to go in to the great hall and sit with my new housemates and eat dinner, but its scary because everything is new and unkown. I wasn't supposed to go to Hogwarts at all, you know? I was meant to go to Durmstrang now.... I've got friends there, here i have nobody."

Wiping away the last remaining tears from her face, and after using the handkerchief to blow her nose she asked "If I go back inside now will you go to the Ravenclaw table with me auntie? I don't know which table is which."
