The Sorting

Tala smiled brightly as she looked out at all the children standing in front of her, waiting for their turn to be sorted into their new house. Biting the inside of her cheek, she glanced at the hat and remembered when she'd been sorted though back then students had actually attended Hogwarts, unafraid of any Dark Lord or a Dark Arts Uprising.

Sighing she smiled again and held out the scroll of names, letting it unfurl. "When I call your name please step up to be sorted." And so it began...

"Boyce, Crisstina." The woman called.

I bit my lip and walked forwards, keeping myself as calm as possible I sat on the three legged stool, the headmistress placed the hat on my head an I waited, nervously. The hat had fallen over my eyes and had drown out all of the nervous muttering coming from the other students....

I watched as my sister was sorted into Slytherin and hurried off to the Slytherin table. I wasn't surprised about that.

"Boyce, Kristopher." The woman said next, there were a few murmers from the others in the line as I walked up to the stool.

I sat down and the hat was placed on my head, it fell over my ears, covering my eyes and making everything seem silent...

“Stone, Alexander”

I was rather taken by surprise when they called my name so soon. I had figured they would go in alphabetical order. I wasn’t real sure how this was suppose to work, so I did as the others had. I walked up, almost tripping on the stair, and sat down in the stool. Then I felt the hat being dropped onto my head…

"Aarons, Nikki"

When my name was called I quickly ran up to the seat and sat down and when the hat was placed on I tried very hard to remain still...

"Charron, Sage” the headmistress seemed to hesitate when she came to my name. She obviously knew my father, which meant I was going to have to be extra careful.

It took all my discipline to not show my disgust as the stupid hat was put on my head.

"Morgan, Roxanne."

I swallowed hard, this was it. I bit my lip hard as I walked up to the stool and sat down. As the hat was placed on my head I looked and Jewl nervously and hoped things would be over quickly.

When Rox looked over at me I gave her two thumbs up and a reassuring smile. Then I clapped with everyone else when the hat shouted Hufflepuff. I didn’t know if that was a good thing or not, but it must be.

“Robin, Juliet” I scowled as I walked up to the stool. I hated being called Juliet. Only my father was allowed to call me that now, and that was only because he refused to call me Jewl.

"Fuller, Aerandir."

I jumped. When she said my name it startled me a little bit. I walked slowly up to the stool and sat down. I was trying to think Gryffindor...I didn't even know if it mattered what I thought...Just then, I felt some old fabric tickle my ears...

"Fuller, John."

I was ready for this. I wasn't quite sure how this whole hat thing worked, but I trusted it. I wasn't sure which house to prefer. From my few days as a wizard, I had learned that Gryffindor was probably the coolest and that I needed to avoid Slytherin. So I thought Gryffindor the whole time, focusing only on Gryffindor...

Then the hat was placed on my head...

"Banning, Lucy."

I bit my lip and barely refrained from running up to the stool to be sorted. This was it, the moment of truth, I closed my eyes as the hat slipped onto my head and just waited.

"Shane, Lyra."

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh...this is it. Taking a deep breath I walked forward and sat down on the stool no longer sure of where I belonged. My parents were Gryffindors, it only made sense that I'd go there too, but my best friend in the world was in Ravenclaw and I wasn't sure I wanted to be in a different house than her. As the hat was lowered over my head I just forced myself to remember that the hat knew best and I would go where I belonged, end of story.

"Erickson, Jenysis."

I stepped forward as my name was called, eyeing the hat with disgust. Couldn't they have taken better care of the thing over the years? Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that this show was mandatory I would absolutely refuse to let that rag anywhere near my head. Sliding onto the stool I sat with a straight back as the Headmistress put the nasty old thing on my head. Just lovely.

"Webb, Tyler." I swallowed hard and walked up the the stool.

The hat was placed on my head, and it cut out the sounds from the other students as soon as it slipped over my face...

I was called after my brother of course...

"Webb, Joshua."

I smirked as I headed up there, I sat on the stool, not nervous at all as I waited for the tattered hat to sort me into a house...
