sorting hat archives

Hazel wasn't quite sure how this would end up going, because at Ilvermorny everything was different and in her mind a little bit more organized. She hated that she had to start fresh when she was very much accommodated to her house back home. Although she had to make the best of it, plus it not like she was starting way different, she was only a third year.

The girl had waited with the little children who were standing right by her, and she tried her best to not feel like complete hell, minus her love for children. She couldn't judge the history that Hogwarts had because it was a huge one and she knew Ilvermorny was very little compared to that. She gave the little kid smiles, and how weird it was being sorted with her own siblings who were younger, but she knew it would be a story that would never get old.

She felt the nerves cringing, and it didn't take long for her name.

"Cartwright, Hazel"

Words that caused her to walk straight up to the seat, and take a seat trying to not feel the nerves from any of it because it made her nervous. She didn't know where she would go or how different it would be from her other house at Ilvermorny.

Most certainly it's SLYTHERIN!!

Slytherin

He'd journeyed aboard the Hogwarts Express alone, explicitly refusing others entry to his compartment. There was two to a boat across the lake, and he hadn't spoken a single word to the boy he shared with. The entrance hall had been abuzz with excited whispers and people standing far too close for comfort, but he still hadn't uttered anything. He knew better than that. His Mother would be cross with him, if she ever found out. She was certain that somehow, she would.

"Medina, Jovian."

He had never experienced a feeling of all eyes upon him. He didn't like it. His heart started to hammer inside of chest, and he adverted his eyes solidly to the floor. When the hat was placed upon his head, he thought about how uncomfortable he was. He thought about how he had behaved well so far, and how his parents would be watching him if they were here. He thought about his family, and how he wanted to make them proud. He thought about how many people were looking at him, and he dared not lift his eyes to look back.

There was no excuse for failure, no warrant for being misled.

Witchcraft. Killian was right here in a castle promoting sin. How did his parents even allow him to attend such a school in the first place. Was it to avoid the difficult conversations during most of the school year?

Phiera, Killian.

He was in his thoughts when his name was called; he completely missed his cousin's sorting.

"Am I a sinner?" he asked the hat that was placed on his head. "I don't want to be a sinner. Please don't put me somewhere evil."

"Hmm... very interesting. I think you underestimate your bravery, but I think you'll make the best of friends in HUFFLEPUFF!"

@Killian Phiera

Emerald could only think about how excited she was to be sorted, and also how sad she was that out of her siblings her sorting was going to be at Hogwarts. A line of tradition gone down the drain, and yet Emerald had to admit it was pretty cool. She gave a smirk to her siblings who both looked at her as she had been waiting in line to be sorted, and her excitement.

She didn't know how to feel, but it seemed enchanting.

The first year didn't know where she would end up, but it didn't take long until her name was called. It caused her to look and make her way up to be sorted.

"Cartwright, Emerald"

Taking a seat she had watched as Deputy Head put the hat on her head, and she could feel her nerves forming deep inside. This was going to be a fun night, despite her never ending excitement, and she had been looking out upon waiting for the hat to choose her house.

This would be interesting.

@Emerald Cartwright

Florian didn't expect the day of his sorting to come so soon, but here it was. A day that he waited for years, and how his parents were grooming into to hopefully fall into the lines of the average houses of the Valois family, despite Florian believing his fate was going to much different as he waited along with the rest of the students.

It was a thing where he looked excitedly at the others kids being sorted.

He was curious to just what the old hat was saying, but also a little nervous. A talking hat was definitely a interesting thing, but he had seen far more interesting things while living in France with his parents, and his name was soon called.

"Valois, Florian"


The eleven year old looked nervously, as he stepped up. Going over and having the hat placed on his head, he hoped the result would be good. Also knowing there was a good chance he would end up in a different house than the rest of his siblings.

@Florian Valois

Things were different for Nicoleta as she came into the office where she knew that she would be sorted into the house where she would spend the rest of her year. She was here as an exchange student, so at least she wouldn't have to be sorted with the first year students where all eyes would be on her. She was meant to be here to blend in, so staying as under the radar as possible was the goal. Though, it was difficult for her not to walk with the same regal movements that her parents had drilled into her from a very young age. She actually had to remind herself to relax her shoulders, to let herself slouch ever so slightly. Of course, the headmaster would know why she was here but no one else could.

She was ushered over to a stool where she was asked to sit down while they got the hat from wherever it was that they kept it. A hat was going to choose her fate? Seemed a little crazy to her but she kept her thoughts to herself as the hat was placed on her head. She only hoped that the thing would put her somewhere that she wouldn't stand out too much, somewhere that she could blend in so that she couldn't be found so easily. Though, she didn't have as much faith in the hat as most who knew of its reputation probably did...

@Nicoleta Miller

Alessandro once he arrived at Hogwarts was sent to the Headmaster's office. He had been told he would be sorted separately due to his circumstances. In the past his parents had him tutored secretly to help with his gifts as they called it.

He was told to sit on a stool where a dusty hat was placed on his head, he could not help but think of it as weird. Who was he to judge their traditions though. 'I am just here to watch over Nicole once it is safe life will be back to normal,' he thought to himself he could get through this and his training would come in handy.

Marco didn't know what to think about attending Hogwarts, because the school was so different from him attending Beauxbatons where he was supposed to go. The first year had followed the rest of the first year into the office, and didn't even manage to do research on the school.

He was just sent there.

The boy stood in the crowd waiting for his name to be called, and once he heard.

"Valenti, Marco"

He walked right up and had the hat placed on his head, and awaited his fate.

Top house pick: I'll let you decide.
Second house pick: You pick

"Interesting... but I think you will do just fine in HUFFLEPUFF!"

@Marco Valenti

Alyn didn't want to be there, in that crowded hall, with all the other students buzzing around him. He stood nearby his sister, but hadn't uttered a single word to her when they had reached the castle.

On a slightly raised platform, he saw the three-legged stool as some ominous, darkened space. He watched each of the students take to the platform to be sorted, and saw in his mind's eye: a ferocious, tentacled creature suddenly growing from the base and devouring them whole. The claps and cheers from the other students was like a low buzz in his ear: as though someone had turned the volume down, and replaced it with white noise.

When he was called, his legs were jelly. Gingerly he sat there, with his eyes shut tightly, imagining instead that the eyes of everyone were merely statues. He just wanted this to be over. He wanted to go home.

Finding it absolutely hilarious that Hogwarts was a castle, young Kayleigh spent most of her time in the great hall mucking about with other students, whether they responded or not. She waved like the queen to the other students in the hall, and kept being told to be quiet as she sniggered through all the sortings. This had to be a joke though, didn't it? A talking hat!

"Oh my gord, look at the ceilin'!" She cried all of a sudden, in the depths of silence.

Shhhhh.

"Sorry but that is well good!"

Everyone seemed to be fairly relieved when she was finally called for her own sorting.

"Do I talk out loud or...?"

Shhhhh.

"This is well weird."

@Kayleigh Owens

It was the moment she was made aware of since she received her letter. The moment when she'd be sorted into something so arbitrary, it'd follow her for the rest of her life.

Andy could be at the dentist, and someone would probably ask what house she was sorted in. How boring of a question, wasn't it?

Her name was called and she went up to have this hat placed on her head. "Be quick and make it good."

She heard the hat chuckle at her.

"Are ya mockin' me? Ya want these hands?"

"I'll make this quick, if that is what you wish. Looks like a GRYFFINDOR!"

Bianca felt the anger sitting inside her as she watched the other kids be placed into her house. She didn't get why she had to attend this school or why she was even forced to like it. It wasn't fair and all she could think about was trying to get sorted, and praying it could go ever well.

She tried to see if she could find her older brother.

Why couldn't he have been more of use than just sitting. Sure he protected her at all costs, but she felt like he was lying as she waited to be sorted. She wanted to attend Beauxbatons, and she sat and waited. Once she heard the words.

"Valenti, Bianca"

She got up and made her way to be sorted, and she had hat placed on her head.

Tilly was looking forward to her sorting a lot, and like all her siblings she knew she'd have to be sorted into Slytherin even if she was terrified of the house. She stood with the rest of scared first years and tried to see if she could lock eyes with her mother.

Once she did she could sense the expectations that were being placed. Why did they have to make it so hard for her and when she heard the words.

"Raywood, Tilda"

Tilly walked up and had the hat placed on her head.
