| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 3 2004, 06:46 PM |
| ----The following message is being posted out of character, obviously----- Alright, the sorting form is up. This is how the sorting is going to work, please pay attention or you will risk not being able to be sorted. 1. Your sorting form can be rejected for the following reasons - not filling out the entire form, filling out the form using canon names such as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, etc. Or using combinations of those names as in Harry Lupin, Sirius Weasley, etc. Basically - just follow the rules, which are also posted in this forum. *points to the pinned topics* 2. If you say that you are some weird species such as half elf, etc. Yes, this goes back to following the rules, but it seems that every year there are at least 30-45 people that post odd sorting forms talking about how they have demon blood and are half werewolf... (is there even such a thing as being HALF werewolf?) etc. I know the comittees are currently discombobulated, so if you have a request to be related to a canon character or something like that, I suppose you might as well say so in your sorting form. I'll make sure that someone gets back to you about it. 3. DO NOT POST HERE UNTIL YOU HAVE FILLED OUT YOUR SORTING FORM AND HAVE RECIEVED THE ACCEPTANCE LETTER. I can NOT stress how important this is. Thus, you MUST make sure that you provide us with a valid email in your sorting form. Your form will not be kept if the acceptance letter does not get sent, thus meaning you'll have to fill it all out again. The Link to fill out the sorting form is here: http://www.poetryincode.com/vh2/sorting/ ------------------------------------------------------ You walk into the Great Hall with a large group of other children who are anxiously awaiting to become students at Virtual Hogwarts. You notice the large stage-like platform in front of you with a single stool in the center. There is a hat sitting on the stool, and suddenly it begins to sing. Look at me, old and tattered Though through the years, this has not mattered Don’t look so shocked, your eyes gone wide. From me, your thoughts they cannot hide Do you have any idea who I am? I am the sorting hat, my dear friend And I’ll get to know your hopes and fears As I am placed upon your head Slytherin; the house of ambition May be the house for you to reside You shouldn’t underestimate their cunning Nor should you get on their bad side Salazar Slytherin has his priorities straight Choosing those with a common fate Those with a certain background They can either overcome or be sound Hufflepuff, the house of the pure Those with great hearts, Those with great minds to make sure Life’s choices are perfect starts Helga Hufflepuff has the uncanny ability To find those that feel immensely For their fellow housemates And fellow students of other houses without hate Ravenclaw, is the house of smarts And can lead you to wondrous places Place me upon your head And I‘ll see if it is where your place is Fair Rowena Ravenclaw Chose the smarts above all the rest For their wit and learning Is always put to the test Place me upon your head I worry not about your name I will see if you’ll fit right in With the house that’s been called insane Gryffindor; the house of bravery Can lead you to a deadly foe But to stick together as a team Was Gryffindor’s one main goal Brave Godric Gryffindor Chose courage above the rest For their skill and bravery Will always be put to the test Now, young one, Do not dally Just let me take a peak inside And see the things I need to see So I can fit you in the house that’s right. As the Hat concludes it's song, you hear your name get called over the crowd. ------------Just another side note---------------------- If by chance you have applied to the sorting and you have not followed the rules and regulations of VH and its account creating (such as claiming relation to other characters on VH/canon characters without prior permission, claiming special powers such as being an animagi, vampire, seer, werewolf, etc, or being some sort of otherworldly creature not from the HP universe at all such as elves, hobbits, droids, or anything else) or if you have not complied with the sorting form in a correct manor (such as posting "lsdakfjlasjdf" as an answer or something like that.... yes, we get people that do these things) we do have the right to not sort you until the problems are resolved. This can and/or does include resubmitting your form or changing your characters name on VH. (yes, that is possible). Thank you and have a nice day. Also, I know that the form is up, but please don't get too ancy. lol. The sorting will not actually start until tomorrow. It wasn't going to start until Monday, but I should be able to have everything ready to go sometime during tomorrow (sunday). Once I've edited in the sorting in your post, your user group will be changed and you will recieve a welcome PM from either a prefect or a professor associated with the house that you get sorted into. ------------------------------------------------------------ |

| Ali hears her name being called. She stands up and quickly fixes her hair and uniform. As she walks up she trys to remain calm. Thoughts of her parents tellingher that whatever house she gets into they'd be proud of her. She knew for a fact that if she didn't get into the right house they'd wonder if they raised her right. She takes deep breaths and tries to remain calm. She was tottaly worried about what her parents would think. As she made her way up the stairs and over to the stool she looked at the sorting hat. it was nothing like her brothers had said. She hoped she could trust that old hat to put her in the right house. As she sits down and a professoer she didn't know puts the hat on her head she was able to say "Please sorting hat put me into the right house." Ali silently prayed for any house but gryiffendore. She knew her parents woudn't be happy about her being a gryiffndor. Hmmm, you wish to be an auror, do you? A noble profession, and one that will take years of hard study. Yet, I see no traces of Ravenclaw in you. Sports, Quidditch....yes, I know just what to do with you. Your parents might be immensely displeased, but your heart belongs in.. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Nadia Riker Jan 3 2004, 09:23 PM |
| Nadia takes a moment to actually hear the hat call Riker, Nadia. She walks up to the stool and grabs the hat. As Nadia places the hat on her head she realizes she was holdind her breath. "Please make my mom proud. Let me get Slytherin." thinks Nadia as she takes a deep breath and waits. "Slytherin? Are you sure about that? It seems to me that you have quite a deal of intelligence, and you seem to want to learn. Reading and poetry, you want to be a teacher. My dear, those are all traits showing the house that you should reside in. It's going to be RAVENCLAW!" |
| Posted by: Venus_Tarquinius Jan 3 2004, 09:24 PM |
| Venus looked around the great hall with as much distain as her 11 year old mind could muster. This entire sorting thing was rediculous. She waited impatiently for her name to be called and sighed with relief as she heard it. Walking up towards the front of the hall, greatfully leaving behind the low-born infants she'd been forced to sit with at the unsorted table, Venus raised her head and walked up to the stool with the dingy looking hat sitting upon it. Her lip curling in even more distaste, Venus wondered if anyone had bothered to ever clean it. That had, which had been worn by mudbloods and even, Venus shuddered at the though, blood traitors. Sighing in resignation because she knew that this was the only way she would ever escape that dreaded unsorted table, Venus picked up the hat, climbed elegantly up onto the stool and placed the hat upon her head, sighing in trepidation as it slid down over her eyes. Even after the passing of your father, his ideals and goals seem to live on through you. Noble blood, selective in those you choose to associate with. Yes, I know just what to do with you. SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Daphne Jan 3 2004, 09:26 PM |
| Daphne looked, her head shook, waiting as she heard a voice say -"Hall Daphne!"-she got there slyly, shy as she was and sat down, as she hat was placed she crossed her finger and waited You seem like an intelligent girl. You enjoy reading and would stay out of conflict. This one is going to be RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Rhysenn Nott Jan 3 2004, 09:27 PM |
| *Rhysenn Nott stode confidently up to the stool, looking fully prepared for the Hat to be placed on her head. Inside she was anxious with excitement. As she sat on the stool, she stole a quick glance at the Slytherin table, praying silently that that table would be the table she sat at her next meal. She took a deep breath as the hat was placed on her head, waiting anxiously for it's decision. Just a note... You will be contacted by the Naming comittee on being related to the Nott family. Until you are contacted (which should be in the next few days), please do not role play expressing your family. Thanks - The Sorting Hat A bit reserved, yes, you are. Using the term mudblood at least once a day seems to be your only daily task, and you come from a very dark and long line of wizards. You are a very discerning student, and I am sure to say...SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Bobby Croft Jan 3 2004, 09:38 PM |
| As Bobby hears his name called out he crosses his fingers. Ravenclaw..Gryffindor..Ravenclaw..Gryffindor.. Please let me be in one of those houses.. He shudders slightly as he goes up to the stool. He was nervous with excitement but it wasn't like he was gonna admit it. He smiles as the hat is placed on his head. Well, here goes nothing.. He glances at everyone around him, and then focuses his attention on the hat. Pretty adventurous for an 11-year-old you are, my dear boy. You seem to really pick out the dangerous things in life. Quite daring of you. I daresay you shall do well in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: KatieNicolson Jan 3 2004, 09:38 PM |
| She stood in the crowd with the rest of the unsorteds waiting to be sorted. Hearing her name called she walked up to the stool, and sat down nervously. She felt the hat being placed on her head as she gave away to the excitment that had been bubbling inside for days. She crossed her fingers and thought, well more like prayed, Please let it be Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, please please please Hmm... yes, you are indeed a very studious young girl. Quite mature for your age you seem. Interested in learning new things to the point that it might become an obsession... My choice is clear. You shall be a RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Rory Miller Jan 3 2004, 09:45 PM |
| Rory stood on her tiptoes, trying to get a peak of the Sorting Hat over all the tall Unsorteds. She was anxious and nervous but most of all excited. She kept taking deep breaths, reminding herself that even if she didn't get into Ravenclaw whatever house she got would be good because none of that mattered, she was at Hogwarts. She looked sideways at Ben Kennedy, who looked as nervous as she did. He kept looking towards the Ravenclaw table. Rory knew he was looking for his sister. 'Wow, Ben's so cute...' "MILLER, RORY!" The redhead snapped to attention at hearing her name. She pushed her way through all the bodies, emerging in front of the Sorting Hat stool. She knew she was blushing but she didn't even care right then. She walked slowly towards the stool. She picked up the Hat and shoved it over her red curls. "Here's hoping for Ravenclaw," she whispered as the Hat slide down over her eyes. She crossed her fingers and waited for the Sorting Hat to call out it's decision. My, would Rowena be pleased to meet you! You share the love for books and knowledge that is the essence of all true Ravenclaw students. Therefore RAVENCLAW is where you go! |
| Posted by: Larkin Mallory Jan 3 2004, 09:57 PM |
| Larkin eyed the children next to her, they kept giggling and shrieking. It drove her mad. She watched them with a vacant look in her amethyst eyes, while she smiled inwardly. She never smiled, and it was strange. The girl –on the train- was beginning to lose her cool, but now she was confident. ‘A house doesn’t make the person, a person makes the house.’ Larkin exhaled slowly, completely rejuvenated now. “Mallory, Larkin.” ‘That cursed name belongs to me.’ She thought while gradually strolling to the stool. She eyed the stool for a second, and before she sat down on it she looked at Ainnle momentarily, pausing for a couple more seconds. She finally seated herself, and put the magical hat on while clearing her head completely of thoughts. You come from a long line of pureblood Slytherins, dear child. Yet you disagree with the views of your ancestors and have turned out much less prejudiced than expected. You are not afraid to toil in that you value all kinds of lessons equally. If you don't mind too greatly, I'd say you'd make a splendid addition to HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Jake SpitFire Jan 3 2004, 09:59 PM |
| "Spitfire, Jacob!" he hears and gets up from the table and strides over to the Hat with a smirk on his face he was hoping for Slytherin but Ravenclaw would do also...and he sat in the stool and put the hat on..... |
| Posted by: Janie Anderson Jan 3 2004, 09:59 PM |
| Janie stood in the back of the group of anxious first years, trembling in fear. She was scared...actually she was paniced. What if he put her into the worst house? Was there aa worst house? She didn't know. Tears formed in the back of Janie's eyes. She held them back. Do-not-cry, she commanded herself. It'll be fine. You can write to everyone right after this and they'll be so proud...she knew they would, ever so proud. A tremor ran down her back down as a loud, creaky voice rang through the crowd. "ANDERSON, JANIE!" it screamed. Shakily, she walked forward and jammed the hat on her head. She felt like she was going to vomit. She crossed her fingers and squeezed her eyes shut, hoping for the best. Don't be frightened, little one. Yes, I know you are a bit scared that you'll be away from your big family for such a long time now. But do not fear, you'll be just fine in the wonderfully loving house that I find is the most fitting for you. You'll be a HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Iago_Rosier Jan 3 2004, 10:02 PM |
| Iago heard his name called out in a clear, sharp voice. He took in a deep breath and strode over to the small and rather uncomfortable looking stool placed infront of the entire school. He was nervous. He could feel cold sweat on his forehead and running down his back. But his face was as blank and as solid as stone. What if I let down the family...? He mentally slapped himself, taking a seat on the battered stool. He wouldn't be letting anyone down, there was no way he possibly could. His breathing was becoming a little more shallow and his skin was heating up but Iago remained still and outwardly confident. Rosier's dont suffer from anxiety. They just don't. Suddenly he left the warm leather Sorting Hat being place gently on his head. He closed his eyes and listened. Difficult, very difficult. I can see many great character traits in you. You want to study hard; there is a thirst for power in you. But I do think that the most prevalent in you are the traits that old Godric valued above all. Your slight selfishness might be eased a bit in his house, and you do show a tendency to stand up for your beliefs. Yes, you should do very well in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Patricia Mc Coy Jan 3 2004, 10:03 PM |
| Patricia sat impatiently, glaring at the random Hufflepuff and every so often she'd trip one up, hoping they'd fall into the punch bowl. She looked around at some of her nervous looking future classmates and laughed at their fear, what was so scary about sorting? They put you in a house and that's that...right? Well who really cared what house they got in with the exception of Hufflepuff...she really disliked the genearic type of Hufflepuff but she'd met some cool ones like Iris Manhourne. Maybe it was her ditz of a sister that turned her off about them. Then she heard the called and strode down to the hat with her nose to the sky. "Mc Coy, Patricia." "For gods sake my name is Paige!" she growled, as the hat slipped down over her emerald green hair. Slytherin! Not Hufflepuff! PLLLEEEAAASSSSEEE! NO HUFFLEPUFF! Patricia's head screamed as she saw Ms. Mallory become a...a....Hufflepuff?! My, you're very prejudiced against your own family, aren't you? And you also seem to be a bit mistaken in your points of view. You'll have much to learn about the fact that people do not always see you in the same light as you see yourself, but that is common in a child as young as you. Dear child, your troubled spirits have to quieten down for you to be able to focus on your education. And in which house can this be better achieved than in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Taylor Stewart Jan 3 2004, 10:09 PM |
| *Taylor Stewart stood patiently in the crowded great hall, looking around at everything going on about her. All the older children were sitting at their house tables and there was quite a large amount of other children waiting to get into the house of their choice. *Taylor Stewart had a huge smile on her face, as her insides were filled with butterflies of anxiousness. She was finally here, finally at school. This was going to be the greatest time of her life. "Stewart, Taylor!" She heard a voice call out her name, and her smile disappeared immediately. She was suddenly nervous, but she didn't let it bother her too much. *Taylor Stewart walked up to the stage and took a seat on the stool. I really hope to be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor She thought to herself. I just want to be anywhere but Slytherin really The sorting hat was placed on her head, falling down over her eyes. She pushed it back a bit so she could see and waited to hear what it had to say. Quidditch-obsessed, are you? Well, any house would welcome a talented young girl to their team I daresay. You also like books a lot, so the race will be between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Oh even though you're looking forward to studying history, you crave the excitement and adventures that DADA might bring you. You have a natural love your learning and yet are not afraid to find out things on your own. After much consideration, I think you'll do well in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Kylara Eris Tiernay Jan 3 2004, 10:14 PM |
| Kylara's heart was pounding in her chest as she listened closely for her name. She quickly glanced around at the other first years who had gotten off the train with her, and they all looked terrified. Was that how she looked? Kylara tried to breath, and decided she probably didn't look much less nervous than everyone else. She caught site of her new friends and quickly looked away. What if she didn't get into Slytherin and they did? What would she do? What would her family do to her? Besides, what other house would want her if not Slytherin? Kylara took a shaky breath as she realized Hufflepuff took everyone. Not Hufflepuff, she wished. Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin... "TIERNAY, KYLARA" was read off the roster. Kylara smoothed her robes in front of her as she calmed herself and approached the stool. She took a seat, and the Sorting Hat fell over her eyes. I am a Tiernay, the descendant of a noble and ancient line. I belong in Slytherin, she insisted. Slytherin. Hmm, Minister of Magic, eh? Quite ambitious... planning to cheat your way in as well? Well, I know just where to put you, my dear. You may be surprised to find out what your little secret could mean when you're a SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Cyric Daggon Jan 3 2004, 10:29 PM |
| Cyric stood silently in line with the other students, looking around blanky. He was a little annoyed with all the fidgeting around him, but he did nothing about it. "DAGGON, CYRIC!" Here we go... Cyric silently and smoothly glided up to the stool, and sat impassively. The hat was placed on his head... Hmm... You're not too fond of rules, are you, boy? Well, except for the purpose of breaking them when you see fit to do so, that is. You're a little rule-breaker deep down but you're not thoughtless about it. Maybe in due time you can learn that rules don't have to be broken. This art can be taught to you in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Chach Jan 3 2004, 10:33 PM |
| Chach's heart was racing 90 MPH. What house would she be sorted into? How would the people like her? When would her name be.... "ALOT, CHACH!" Chach's eyes widened. 'What house? What house?' she asked herself. She stepped up and put on the hat. 'C'mon hat! Sort me right!' Another rule-breaker? Hear hear, they come in pairs today. You like picking fights, eh? Little trouble-seeker you are. That makes my decision very easy. GRYFFINDOR it is! |
| Posted by: Tinka VL Jan 3 2004, 10:34 PM |
| Fingers cold... Smile on... Nervousness at the pit of her stomach, check! Tinka was ready... she was ready to be sorted and ready to meet her fellow house-mates. "Tinka Gray VonLexiss!" a voice called over all the heads. Tinka sprang to her feet and struggled to stay as calm as she could as she sat herself atop the stool and the large hat was placed on her head. Clenching her hands together she closed her eyes. Sort me oh mighty sorter! she thought amusedly to herself. Mighty sorter? If I had cheeks they would be turning a lovely shade of pink right now, little one. Let's see what's going on in this little head of yours, shall we? Oy, you surely are a bubbly little person! Interested in everything and anything. You're a bit brave, a bit studious, a really nice mixture. I'm not sure where to put you, but I do know that while you may not obviously fit into Ravenclaw, Gryffindor or Slytherin, you'll make a really splendid HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Zemira Satré Jan 3 2004, 10:36 PM |
| Zemira bit down on her lip as she walked into the great hall with the rest of the Unsorted, and was immediately in awe from her surroundings. There were hundreds of floating candles, giving a mysterious glow around the heads of hundreds of students, all sitting on benches along four long tables. The tables were covered with gleaming golden plates and goblets. Zemira heard a crack of thunder from overhead, and looked up to see the most magnificient sight of all. The ceiling was a complete duplication of the sky outside, and seemed to go on forever. 'Is there even a roof? Why isnt it raining on us?' Zemira thought to herself, before hearing a student whisper to one of the other unsorteds about how the ceiling was enchanted to represent the sky outside. Another crack of thunder snapped Zemira out of her trance, and she looked forwards, and watched several other students get sorted. She noticed that the names were going alphabetically, and she decided that she would probably end up somewhere near the middle as far as being called goes. She listened as the giant man continued to call out names, and once again let her mind wander around. She saw at the head table a very old man, with a long scraggly beard, sitting in the middle of many other older people. 'They must be the professors...' Zemira concluded to herself. She watched them for a bit, but quickly got bored with that, and looked around once more. Zemira looked at the students sitting at each of the four tables, and noticed that they all seemed to be colour coded. One table was silver and green, another was gold and red, another was blue and bronze, and the last was black and yellow. 'They must be the four houses... Father was talking about those. Oh, I hope I dont end up in Slytherin. Thats where he was... Everyone there is probably just as bad as he is...' Zemira glanced around once more, and noticed that the table of black and yellow - Hufflepuff - seemed to be the nicest looking. All the students there were smiling politely, and watching the sorting with rapt (sp?) attention. 'They all look so nice... I hope I end up there...' Zemira thought to herself once more. Having heard a crack of thunder, closely followed by her name - "Satré, Zemira!" - being called out by the giant man (though rather badly), Zemira took a deep breath, and pushed her way to the front. Feeling her heart beating out of her chest, she bit down on her lip, and walked forward. Sitting down on the stool, the last site she had before plunging into darkness was all of the students watching her. 'Oh, please, I dont want to made fun of. Please, not Slytherin... Hufflepuff?' Hufflepuff you say? Hmm... your blood says otherwise, but your heart is with the Badgers. They can always use a good Quidditch player I daresay. There you go. Your wish shall be granted. HUFFLEPUFF it is! |
| Posted by: Skyler Blake Jan 3 2004, 10:39 PM |
| Skyler swallowed as she glanced around at the other future first years that had gotten off of the train with her. Most of whom were fidgeting, whispering among themselves and generally making her even more nervous. I can do this ... I can do this ... I can so do this ... "BLAKE, SKYLER!" Oh God, I can't do this ... I can't do this ... Skyler swallowed again, but clenched her jaw in determination as she approached the sorting hat. She clenched her eyes firmly shut for a second, before she sat on the stool and jammed the hat firmly on her head. Here goes nothing ... Just a bit of an OOC note. In your sorting form, you are speaking with a portrait of a basilisk. I'm not sure if you are insinuating that you can speak parseltongue or not, but just in case - you do need approval for that from the Powers Comittee. We went ahead and sorted you, yet I must express the importance of you getting approved before you roleplay talking to a serpant again while on VH. Thanks - The Sorting Hat Just in quick reply, I'm not a parseltongue. *sheepish* just kind of, huh, figured, hey, magic, why not have a translator spell or something. Didn't quite take it all into account. Sorry for any confusion. So young and already so well-versed in those Muggle contact-sports? Yes, I do know about them. Remember that I've looked into so many hearts and heads for centuries already. You seem like quite the adventurous type. Indeed, yes, Defence Against the Dark Arts will prepare you well for the future that you have in mind. You're easy to sort. GRYFFINDOR it is! |
| Posted by: AlisetM Jan 3 2004, 10:39 PM |
| Aliset had gotten to the great hall a bit late, and found the Unsorted table very full, so she'd just been standing at teh back of the room, when she heard, from the front, a shout. Mackenzie, Aliset! Oh! That must be the talking hat that Tinka told her about on the train. Aliset ran to the front, shoving her reddish hair out of her eyes at least three times. As she got to the stool, she climbed onto it, wishing fervently that she were about half a foot taller, and with a deep breath, she put on the hat, thinking to herself, 'Please, put me in the right house." You're a lovely one, dear. Sensible and observing. Yet you don't strike me studious enough for Ravenclaw, even though I'm sure that you can be a hard worker. You're such a friendly little girl that I can only think of one house for you and you will love it there. HUFFLEPUFF is the right place for you. |
| Posted by: alexandria drake Jan 3 2004, 10:53 PM |
| Alexandria noticed her hands go clammy. she heard her name be called, and she thought she would callaps but, she managed to stay up as she walked towards the stool and, sat down she thought to her self (please not slytherin Im a good girl I promise!) There is not much to say here. You seem to have somewhat of a penchant for Defence Against the Dark Arts. That shows a bit of bravery. Your goal in life corresponds very well with this. There is only one house that fits your standards. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Camden VonLexiss Jan 3 2004, 11:00 PM |
| Camden sat calmly... he knew now that Gryffindor was what he wanted, but would accept what he was given. All his friends had gone... his cousin Tinka, Chach, Skyler, Bobby, and even Katie his girlfriend had been called... he only had to await his own turn and he'd be home free. "Camden Louis VonLexiss," called a voice to him. Standing he could feel the blood rushing to his head as he made his way to the front of the hall. In front of everyone the hat was placed on his head, in front of everyone he felt naked, in front of everyone he was going to be sorted! Hmm... another trouble-maker? No, you're not so bad actually. A rather fine lad actually with realistic and noble ambitions. You're a friendly enough fellow, and I can't make out anything in you that would point me towards a specific house. I'm sure you'll do splendidly in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Adair Howell Jan 3 2004, 11:01 PM |
| Adair stood boredly in line among the other hopeful unsorteds. "Ohh I hope I get Gryffindor!" a girl near her whispered excitedly. Adair rolled her piercing emerald green eyes I hope you do too so I don't have to put up with you. she thought. On the train she met so many fake and rather shallow people that she was yearning to be sorted and around other students. She glanced over at her identical twin Claire who had on a similar bored expression. She threw her twin a readable look and waited for her name to be called. As some short little boy got sorted into Hufflepuff she began to grow restless. Suddenly she heard her name. "Howell, Adair!" "Finally." she muttered. Adair gave her sister one last look, hoping they'd be together wherever it was and went up to the stool. She cringed slightly at having to put that thing on her head but reluctantly she said nothing. Slytherin please. If you must Ravenclaw would suffice. Adair thought urgently. Please hat, Slytherin. Adair sat and awaited her fate. You're used to having a large family around you. This is perfect for every house in here as it will be your family for long months. Even though I see the quite common pureblood arrogance in you it is not so extreme that one might have to fear for your not as pure classmates. Your loyalty to your family is very great. Let's hope your loyalty for your future house will equal it. Welcome to SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: James Gautier Jan 3 2004, 11:03 PM |
| It wasn't that he was nervous. After all, James never got nervous. He couldn't help but feel the slightest twinge of apprehension though, as he stood stock still in the middle of the fidgeting throng around him. He'd heard enough about the ridiculous division of students and, after examining his four possibilities, had decided that Ravenclaw was the house for him. Unfortunately though, he had the sneaking suspicion that the Sorting Hat (another ludicrous idea if you asked him) would place him in Slytherin-- where he did not belong. The studious Ravenclaws, probably the only halfway intelligent people in the whole school, were probably the only ones worth hanging around. There was nothing to do but wait though and James resigned himself to a long wait. Gritting his teeth in petulant impatience, he almost grinned when he heard his name being called. Sweeping with a rather theatric grin to where the teacher awaited with a ratty and moldy looking hat (she wasn't going to put that on his head, was she?), he took a seat at the three legged stool. Ravenclaw, he commanded the hat as it was slipped over his head. Don't you dare put me anywhere else. You're rather mature for your 11 years of age, my boy. Very sensible and well-spoken. You have a really clever brain in this head of yours. I see a lot of potential that you can develop best in RAVENCLAW! |

| Ryan desperately hoped he wasn't going to be a Gryffindor... He didn't have the guts, and had too many brains for that. He wanted to be a Ravenclaw. He wanted to be a Hufflepuff. He even wanted to be a durn SLYTHERIN as long as he had minimal amounts of seeing his sister, Jodie in Gryffindor with her friends... A scone hit him right between the eyes, hard. No doubt his sister's doing at that... He picked up the scone and eyed it wearily before chucking it into the bin he was standing by before glaring at Jodie out of irritation. He felt his stomach clench as Rhysenn's name was called out... He had been certain they were going to call out his name, Ryan. Luckily, it wasn't and he was enjoying the time when all the other nervous first years had to go up and put the sorting hat on their heads and be sorted... "Wolf, Ryan!" Flinching, Ryan sidled forward to walk over to the stool. His name was WOLF. He should be last, not stuck in the middle... but he had also noticed that the person who made the list really had no sense of letters. He was STILL walking towards that blasted stool... Geesh this was taking a long time.. He continued walking to the chair for what seemed like hours to him before finally sitting on it and having the hat put on his head, which was so large it covered his eyes and part of his nose.. Anything but Gryffindor... Please. "You're a bit insecure, aren't you? Not quite sure where you want to go in life, not very confident in yourself. I know just the right house where you can acquire what you're missing still. HUFFLEPUFF!" Ryan grinned and stood up, thoroughly relieved that he was a Hufflepuff, not a Gryffindor. That was perfect for him. He strode over to the Hufflepuff table, glad that the hat was nice to him. |

| Nyx switched the foot she leaned on in the great hall. She listened hard and she finally heard her name called. "Acacia, Nyx!" 'One of the first ones, stupid last name,' Nyx thought as she walked towards the Sorting Hat. Finally, after doging a number of tall people she walked up towards the hat. She quickly sat down on the chair and felt the hat fall past her eyes. 'Please let me make mom proud...' she thought as she waited for a response. You're another very lovely one. Haha! You blew up the kitchen? Oops? How adorable you are, dear. You're friendly and bubbly and just a generally lovely person to have around, even though you might just pull one or the other prank on your fellow students. You're just not brave and daring enough for Gryffindor, but HUFFLEPUFF will suit you just perfectly! |
| Posted by: Ainnle MacBradaigh Jan 3 2004, 11:45 PM |
| Ainnle walked into the Great Hall following the many other soon to be first years with a look of awe. He walked right beside Larkin as she was his closest, well only to be exact, friend. When they came to rest in front of the professors he looked around. He looked in shock as the Sorting Hat began to sing. I shouldnt be surprised at a Hat that can sing, but my parents never told me about that. I cant wait to see the rest of the castle. He looked at Larkin as her name got called and right before she sat down he smiled at her. When she got her house designation he smiled and clapped with everyone else. He then proceeded to wait as others were called waiting anxiously for his name to be called. Finally he heard the familiar name: "MacBradaigh, Ainnle" He proceeded to walk up the steps and just before sitting down on the stool he offered a smile to Larkin who was at her table. Then he was covered in darkness. Tough choice here. Hmm... Let me think... You're not fit for Slytherin. Gryffindor isn't really your cup either. I do think that you have the right brain in this little head to make a splendid Ravenclaw even though you seem not so sure about that yourself. RAVENCLAW it is! |
| Posted by: Adrianna Tordani Jan 3 2004, 11:50 PM |
| Adrianna stood watching as the other kids went up and were sorted. "The only good thing about having a last name beginning with a 'T' is that you're never first," she thought to herself. Not knowing that much about houses or even what house her father had been in, Adrianna wasn't worried about disappointing the family by being put in a different house. Unlike many of the other students, she had no real preference to any house. "Since, its supposed to be a smart hat, it'll put me some where good," she decided. She sighed and then heard her name. "Adrianna Tordani" She sat down on the chair and put the hat on, no fear showing in her eyes though despite everything she had just figured, she was nervous. "Ok hat, do your worst!" Another complicated case here. I can see many different character traits in you. You're clever and used to a very close-knit family. You like to get involved in arguments though. And there is this penchant for Defence Against the Dark Arts and the wish to become an Auror. In the right company with proper encouragement you can develop what you're still lacking and achieve your goals. You shall be a GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Trinity Wintersky Jan 3 2004, 11:52 PM |
| Trinity walked into the Great Hall and looked around. She was awed by the floating candles and the changing ceiling. It started out as a clear night sky and slowly shifted into an even darker cloudy sky. Wasn't that how it had been outside? She wondered. Trinity stared at the ceiling so long she didn't notice that all the other unsorteds had walked to the front of the hall and she was standing by herself in the middle. She blushed and ran forward to catch up. She tripped over someone's foot and fell sprawled on the floor. Trinity bit her tongue to keep from whimpering as a few people chuckled. A student sitting on a bench reached down and grabbed her arm. He hoisted her up and gave her a reassuring smile. "Thanks." She muttered, still blushing. Feeling embarrassed she rushed forward to the other unsorteds and for got about the person who'd tripped her. She looked around as people were called up one after the other, and then ran off to their house table. She waited for what seemed like forever before she heard "Wintersky, Trinity" She pushed her wat through the remaining students and sat down on the stool. Before the hat was placed on her head the Professor holding it asked, "Are you alright?" Trinity blushed again and nodded, embarrassed again. She noticed a boy laughing at her from one of the middle tables. He was just past the boy who had helped her up. Glaring Trinity realized it was the boy who had tripped her. Oh he'll pay for that... she thought as the hat was lowered on to her head. She jerked her head surprised and bit her lip. She waited thinking desperately. Gryffindor...Please Gryffindor. So you want to be a Gryffindor do you? Well, let's see here... You definitely seem courageous enough. Yes, and you like sports. You are apparently a bit of a tomboy. Oh and you wish to be an auror as well. I'd say that your preferred house would definitely suit you well. This one is GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Brendan Piallest Jan 4 2004, 12:02 AM |
| *Brendan Piallest waited on line with the other soon to be sorted students. As he was not a very patient person he was getting tired of hearing everyone but himself be sorted. Not soon enough, the hat called "Piallest, Brendan!" Brendan walked up to the the stool and sat down as the hat was placed on his head. Piallest, ah yes another. You seem to be a spunky boy, and ignorant if I might add. You do abide by the rules, and love to take part in fair sport. You also think quite highly of yourself. There is only one place to put you, GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Khalida Jan 4 2004, 12:07 AM |
| Khalida waited for her turn to be called up. Nerves were beginning to get to her and she found herself wishing they would hurry up and call her name. She watched the people in front of her get called up, watched them place the hat on their head and heard what house they were sorted into. She still wasn't sure what house she'd like to get into. Both her parents had been in different houses and they both wanted her in their old one. It was a debate that had long been played in her mind. She wanted to be in both, but that wasn't an option. It was a good job that the Hat decided for you, otherwise she'd be left unsorted forever as she just couldn't decide between then. Then suddenly through the fog of not listening carefully and remembering her parents, Khalida heard her name being called, "Ramone, Khalida!" and she felt her stomach drop. This was it! There was no turning back now. She marched up to the stool, sat down and placed the battered Hat on her head. She waited and tried not to confuse it with thoughts of her parents and their houses and the debate. Instead she suddenly found herself thinking *please let it be Slytherin* and that thought surprised her and she knew that that was where she hoped she'd be placed. You wish to be a Slytherin? Well, you could definitely do great things in Slytherin, however, this is fairly difficult. You have the ambition and cunning to be in the house you desire. Yet, you have such a thirst to learn and such a determination to do well academically. That being said, I think you would fit best in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Dusky Pidlerson Jan 4 2004, 12:15 AM |
| Dusky skipped up and down, clenching her hands together. "Let's get this over with," she muttered under her breath. She grabbed the person in front of her and swung sideways to see who was watching. "Dawn!" She gasped and waved frantically at the Gryffindor table. Then as the person in front of her marched forth, Dusky fell flat in the vacant space. "Dagnabbit," she giggled and shook her hair, smoothing herself. It's time to be a witch, Dusky. Her mother's voice thundered through her mind. It's your birthright darling. Make me and your Dad proud. Dusky thought of her Dad and snorted. This ones for you Mum. "Pidlerson, Dusky." She walked forward, her face become sober. Please, she thought furiously. Please - you know where I want to be. Dusky, ah, yes, you are very…eccentric. Bubbly and fun to be in the company of are your best attributes, you are friendly at all times, and…you have a strange knack for fire. There’s only one place to put you. HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Claire Howell Jan 4 2004, 12:16 AM |
| Claire walked into the Great Hall with the other first years and looked around rather boredly, judging anything and everything she could see. All around her, children were buzzing both excitedly and nervously. At first she had been annoyed by all the chatter, but she was so glad to finally be off the train, that she was ignoring it at the moment. She glanced over at her twin sister, Adair, and caught her eye. She easily read the look her sister had sent and shot one back. She rolled her eyes at the students around her, as if to say, If we get stuck in a House with any of those idiots, I'm packing my bags and leaving. Claire watched boredly as a short little boy got sorted into Hufflepuff. She looked over at her sister, who was looking restless. Claire would never admit it to anyone, but the more the students names were called, the more eager Claire seemed to become. She couldn't wait for this to be over; to finally know what House she'd gotten into. She'd heard a bit about the different Houses on the train, but secretly, she knew she wouldn't really care which one she got into, as long as her sister was in it with her. Well.... as long as it wasn't Gryffindor.... Claire gave a start as she heard her sister's name being called. She caught her eye again and threw her a look that clearly said, "Good luck!" and watched nervously as Adair walked forward and placed the hat on her head. As soon as the hat had announced Adair's fate, Claire jumped as she heard, "Howell, Claire!" echoing through the Hall. She hurried up to the front and sat on the stool. She grimaced as the hat was placed upon her head, but thought, Well, if there was any bacteria or germs or disgusting stuff, like bits of the Muggle's hair on it, at least it would've gotten stuck in Adair's hair first. It was nice having the first letter of your name come after your sister's; any time they had to do something where their names were called in alphabetical order, Adair always went first. She smirked, then jumped as the hat began to speak in her ears. Oh, please put me in Slytherin, She thought wildly, Please! It's such a noble House, with values similar to those I've been raised with. I suppose Ravenclaw wouldn't be too horrible ... but please, whatever you do, just let me be with my sister! Please! Claire gripped the edge of the stool with her small hands, staring at her shoes as she awaited the Hat's decision, and her fate. Why indeed you have been raised with the noble values that reside in the house of Salazar Slytherin. And your twin sister has taken her place there as well. You would be a great edition to Ravenclaw as well, though. However, since you want to be with your sister so badly, and I do not like to seperate those of family ties, your wish will be granted. This one is SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Alianne Brecken Jan 4 2004, 12:27 AM |
| Alianne stood on her tippy toes looking over the heads of other students. Pouting because she couldn't see Alianne found a chair and stood in it. Watching a boy get started she stared with her mouth open from both the amazement of seeing a sorting and the pride that she could be next. Watching others get sorted the small blonde child finally heard her name called. "Brecken, Alianne." Squealing she pushed thru other soon to be students and sat on the chair. Crossing her legs when she sat down Alianne closed her eyes and waited for the hat to talk to her. You enjoy being a girly girl, ah such a grand quality, and watching Quidditch but never partaking in the sport. You are a bit forgetful considering you don’t remember to set a clock, but overall you are sociable and rather amusing to be around. I say HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Selene Jan 4 2004, 12:30 AM |
| *Selene silently filed into the Great Hall with all the other Unsorteds. Vast population, was the first thing that popped into her head. Her face gave an expression of apathy, as she was always calm. It's finally time... She blinked as her violet eyes swept over the tables. They were full of eager sorteds, waiting to find out who would be in their house. I wonder which one's mine... She, as usual, was thinking too hard and completely ignored the Sorting Hat's song and the first few sortings as she thought about... stuff. She watched the ceiling apprehensively, ignorant to everything happening around her. "Cesre, Selene!" Selene almost jumped. She had forgotten that her surname started with a letter that was at the beginning of the alphabet. Oh crap... "Cripes..." she muttered as she made her way up towards the three-legged stool with the important hat on it. All eyes were on her as she sat down calmly on the stool, lifted the hat and placed it on her head. It covered her eyes. For the first time in her life, Selene felt nervous and she closed her eyes as she listened to what the hat was going to say... Your family seems to have very high expectations of you, yet you disreguard them and let your own personality show through. This proves a great deal of self respect. You also seem to enjoy the quietness of time alone, and participate in activities such as reading, writing and artwork. I've never been wrong with a student yet, and I must say that you would do best in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Ebony Sage Waters Jan 4 2004, 12:30 AM |
| People milled all around her, she wasnt used to being in such a large crowd, this made Ebony rather sick to her stomach. She watched patiently as many of the other unsorteds got their names called by the infamous talking hat. She wondered when it would be her turn. Just as the a fellow student was finished getting the sorting treatment and began stepping off the stool she heard a farmiliar name being bellowed across the Great Hall. EBONY SAGE WATERS Her feet began to move but her mind wasnt with her. Stepping up to the platform Ebony felt the eyes of everyone watching as the hat was lowered onto her head. She closed her eyes and waited to hear the voice of the hat again. It didn't really matter to Ebony what house she got into she just hoped that the sorting hat knew what would be best for her. She inhaled deep with her fingers nervously drumming on the stool waiting for the big moment. Waters, ah, you’re very astute when it comes to all forms of art, you enjoy crafting, and are slightly arrogant too. You can be polite when needed, but overall your intelligence overrules. RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Samantha Fallen Jan 4 2004, 01:17 AM |
| *Samantha Fallen waited her turn behind a few other girls that were in line for the sorting. Nervously she folded her hands in front of her and waited as patiently as she could. She had no idea what house she would be sorted in and she had no preference anymore. Any house would be fine, she thought. It wasn't as though she was trying to get into a certain house because she knew someone either a friend or a relative that was in that house. She didn't have any friends except for the few aquaintances that she met on the train ride to Hogwarts. Her cousin was here somewhere, she recalled, but she didn't talk to her since her cousin left the Fallen Manor two years prior. Slowly people were called and quietly Samantha waited. 'Am I supposed to know what house I want?' she questioned herself, 'I don't have a preference... I hope that's not a bad thing...' she became paranoid that the Hat would not sort her at all for lack of house preference. She listened to the Sorting Hat's song. 'Slytherin doens't sound half as bad as that girl on the train said it would, but Ravenclaw sounds just as good,' Samantha thoughts wavered from house to house. They all sounded perfectly fine. The candles that were lit all around the Great Hall sparkled with magnifigance. The glamour of Hogwarts was so much nicer to that of Beauxbatons, which she had seen twice because of her mothers job. Hogwarts was so much more Romanesque and older looking which made it all the better. It reminded Samantha of home. The Fallen Manor was old and passed down from the pure-blooded male Fallens in the family and Hogwarts just looked so much like it that Samantha felt comfortable in the castle. "Fallen, Samantha!" Samantha froze for the briefest of moments. Her turn... her palms grew sweaty. She quickly wiped them on her clothes. 'I guess I let the Sorting Hat decide. It sounds like a smart hat so I'm sure it'll place me somewhere where I fit in.' She thought as the Sorting Hat was placed on her head.... Well, an entire line of Astronomers... Interesting Ms. Fallen, very interesting. And your family's history goes back far. Yes, I can see that there is but one place for you. Professor Sinistra will be pleased. Best make it SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Ty Gudrun Jan 4 2004, 01:26 AM |
| "Gudrun, Ty" Ty heard his name called and made his way to the stage. The stool was waiting for him, he sat upon it and looked out over the great hall. The house tables were full of students. I will be in one of these houses in a few seconds he thought. I must not be like my family, please not Revenclaw. Although he would accept the decision of the hat and embrace his new home with open arms, and he also knew that he possesed many of the qualities that a Ravenclaw has. "Please not Ravenclaw" He whispered as the hat was placed on his head. Your mind does not wish for Ravenclaw, but your heart speaks something different... Full of intelligence, wit and a will to learn. RAVENCLAW is where you belong! |
| Posted by: strawberry Jan 4 2004, 01:28 AM |
| Strawberry walked into the Great Hall and got on the end of the line with all the other students soon to be sorted. She listened and heard each student's name called out individually to go and get sorted! Just then she heard "Hall, Strawberry" called out. It was her turn! Strawberry walked up and sat down on the stool and the hat was placed on her head! she crosses her fingers "Gryffindor or Ravenclaw please let it be Gryfindor or Ravenclaw" she wished! You're a very bubbly one, dear. Truly excited to be here, aren't you? You're right. Why should you worry about your future already at such a young age? Wait and see, indeed. A calm and lovely one like you fits very well into HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: armina_leona Jan 4 2004, 01:37 AM |
| Armina wandered into the Great Hall, too nervous to notice any of her surroundings. She stood there while many people got called up and sorted into their houses. Noticing that there really wasn’t anything to be worried about, Armina relaxed a little and looked around her. She immediately turned red as her name was called. “Leona, Armina” Taking a deep breath, Mina walked up to the hat and looked around the Great Hall. Everyone was watching her. She glanced over to Ravenclaw. After ages of trying to make up her mind she finally decided Ravenclaw was the house she most wanted. Then came Slytherin. But Armina didn’t mind what house accepted her, just as long as one of them did. She sighed; the hat was taking a long time to decide. Finally she heard a voice in her head; determining the girl's future. Suddenly it was over and the hat voice shouted her fate to the entire school. Studying and researching things are what you apparently enjoy. While this may be coupled with a bit of adventure every now and then, your focus rests on acquiring knowledge. You know where you fit in best and this is where you shall go. RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Angelique_Blanpied Jan 4 2004, 01:57 AM |
| Angélique wished that they had been doing the sorting in alphabetical order. If they had, she would have been right at the front. She was nervous, but was puting on a brave face. She hoped to make her mother and grandfather proud. Her father was proud just knowing that she was a witch. But he was a muggle and didn't understand these things as well. Then she heard her name called. Blanpied, Angélique Let me be in Gryffindor she thought as loudly as she could when walking up to the hat. PLEASE let me be in Gryffindor! Another from the Hamblin line. You've an interesting accent and you would make a fine friend to many a student. Friendly though you may be, I sense no Hufflepuff in you. In the end, there's only one place to put you...GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Darquing Dragonlord Jan 4 2004, 02:05 AM |
| *Darquing Dragonlord stood quietly amongst his fellow schoolmates, watching calmly as they were sorted into the various houses. Dragonlord, Darquing! He calmly walked to the platform and sat on the stool. Let the learning begin. he thought to himself as he felt the Hat being placed on his head. You enjoy working with animals a lot, don't you? That shows a sense of adventure as animals can sometimes be quite unpredictable. You're quite the clever one with a great sense of humour. I think GRYFFINDOR will suit you just fine. |
| Posted by: Jazz M. Turpin Jan 4 2004, 05:24 AM |
 Soooo Excited to be here, but trying to be cool, Jazz stood expectantly, waiting to hear her name called. Turpin, Jazz M.!! Wow, it is time! Jazz stepped forward, eager to start her new life at Hogwarts, wondering where she would be sorted to.... Hello, my dear! When I look into your heart and mind, I am oddly reminded of one of the founders! Yes, indeed! You don't believe me? But it's true. You see, you're very much like Helga Hufflepuff. She'd have jumped a mile high with joy if you had come to Howarts a thousand years ago. You'll be a HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: magic_spark Jan 4 2004, 05:33 AM |
| Magic walked in the Great Hall with the other unsorteds. She was filled in with her parents about the sorting ages ago. She hoped to be sorted into former houses of her parents when they were in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. All these prayers got to work! "Spark, Magic!" She walked to the platform and sat on the stool. She wished inwardly,"Please, please, Ravenclaw on Gyffindor..." Another one that wishes to be an Auror! Such a splendid career for a splendid young lass. I don't see any traces of Ravenclaw in you, and you most certainly aren't hard enough of a worker to be a Hufflepuff. Slytherin does not suit you either. There is but one place for one such as yourself....GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Ameyla Jan 4 2004, 05:51 AM |
| Ameyla walked up as her name was called. She placed her glasses in her lap and put on the hat. Whispers from the slytheirn table was what she herd. Thinking of her favourite book to calm her nerves she herd the sorting hat say. Ahh a indian very well and she jumped. I see you are intrested in the pursuit of knowledge, a marvelous trait, and you wish to be a Historian. There are not many who would have the patience for that line of work. You seem to isolate yourself from others, but ambition is not your forte.' Perhaps you would do well in......RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Rashean Jan 4 2004, 06:08 AM |
| Rashean sees her sister get down and its her turn. Tamaji , Rashean Rashean walks up her eyes gleaming. She looks aroudn and sees all the hopefulls. She closes her eyes her hair shinigng and waits for her house. You would break up a fight rather than watch it happen? Such a feat takes great courage, and yet I sense that you are not a child of Gryffindor. No, your love of all things learning will take you far in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Lola Giviannia Jan 4 2004, 07:07 AM |
| Lola stod up when she heard her name. 'Giviannia , Lola.' Come on slytherin. She looked at the hat and walked up, turning around and gulped and sat down. You are willing to take action and lead others, but don't take kindly to not getting your way. That strength will take you far in.....SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Toula Raven Jan 4 2004, 07:50 AM |
| Relax, breathe… breathe… Toula Raven appeared to be cool, calm and collected on the outside but on the inside she was about to have a melt down, All alarms went off inside her head telling her that this was it, this was her turning point. She wanted, Gryffindor, she’d do anything for it, she needed it. Well, truth be told, she’d be perfectly happy in any other house, she just wanted to follow in her mother’s foot steps so badly. “Toula Raven!” Her heart stopped and if not for the person behind her giving her a small shove she wouldn’t have made her way up to the seat. She hummed a pop tune and tried to remain calm, it was perfectly normal to be this nervous! Ha! She mumbled her choice and prayed it was what the fateful hat would say… Just a side note from the sorting hat - I noticed in your sorting application you say that you are 15 years old. According to the rules of VH, all new students must be 10 or 11 years old. This is to keep VH as canon as possible. Older students were allowed in the past because VH was destroyed and it took five years to rebuild it. Thus, certain families who were loyal to Dumbledore, decided to keep their children out of school until Hogwarts was rebuilt. So please abide by the rules and make sure you roleplay your character as being 10 or 11 years old. Thank you. - The Sorting Hat Raven, ah. Your whole life consisted of partying and living it to the fullest. You enjoy adventures, and you are indeed very energetic. Let’s put that energy to good use in…GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Tara Jan 4 2004, 08:20 AM |
| tara sat giggling and whispering with her friends, but as the sorting hat began calling names.... they grew silent. Tarar joined in clapping as the houses were called out, paying special attention to those in slytherin... they were to be her new class mates... she hoped... All her family were slytherin, and although she thought she would look pretty good in the red and gold uniform  , she desperately wanted to do her family proud, like she had alwasy done. Her eyes flicked to the slytherin table, she caught the eye of a boy in an older year and she smiled...TARA DOOMSHINE oh! thats me!!...... She swallowed down her nerves and settled the butterflies in her stomach then She stepped up the steps gracefully, and st down on the stool, she crossed her legs and closed her eyes... slytherin... please? A child raised in a house full of dignity, rules and expectations. You have come to accept your parents' standards and do not speak of the members of your family which have betrayed your pureblood values. You are cunning and though not as ambitous as Salazar may like... I think SLYTHERIN would do you well. |
| Posted by: Spirt Jan 4 2004, 09:15 AM |
| Spirt was nervously waiting when her name got called. Lositati Spirt She nervously gave a tug at her army skirt and stepped forward. She glanced at the hufflepuff table as she sat down her sister was smiling. She put the sorting hat on and thought. Hufflepuff plese ? Spirt, very vivacious. You are always willing to lend a hand, no doubt about that. I see you always put friends first, amiable trait. There’s only one place to put you…HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Slypher Jan 4 2004, 09:51 AM |
| Slypher was waiting in the great hall waiting to be sorted as he watched is friends go up. "Greywind, Slypher" Alright that's me. He thought walking to the front of the great hall. He looked around as he walked up seeing the look of concern on the faces of all the people still to be sorted. He sat down on the stool and put the sorting hat on. Please Gryffindor You attended a muggle school for a few years? That is quite interesting... You like sports and love to explore. I'd say that you would do great in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Sakura Reyes Jan 4 2004, 10:01 AM |
| "I think I am going to fall asleep," she muttered softly and looked around absently. Her eyes were becoming blurry with boredom and her legs felt like they were about to fall off. "Oh I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Wiener, that is what I really want to be," she sang while tipping back and forth on her toes. At least she wasn't bored now. That song her dad always sang was funny and it always had entertained her when she was young and even now today, right before her sorting. Reyes, Sakura She heard something say from far away. 'Hmm, sounds familiar..' she thought and continued her song. "Cause if I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener, everybody would llooovvee me!" she said happily. REYES, SAKURA!!! Sakura jumped slightly and grinned sheepishly. "Oh, that’s my name, isn't it?" she turned around and curtseyed to her audience before sitting her self down on the chair in front of everyone. Still humming her favorite song under her breath. Sakura Reyes. You are difficult, very. Your wits could earn you a dear place in Ravenclaw as your brain points you but your soul directs you to Gryffindor, for you seem adventuresome and it looks like you have a knack for getting caught up in things. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Nikki Croyle Jan 4 2004, 10:35 AM |
| Nikki waited for her name to be called. She was bored to death. If it was up to her, her name would have been called first. Since she was the best, of course. "NIKKI CROYLE!" "Finally!" she said stepping up to the hat. 'Stupid hat place me in Gryffindor and I'll rip you to shreds!' Now, now Miss Croyle, no need for threats. I will place you where your heart and soul will fit best. And with you, it's SLYTHERIN! |

| Dale stepped up to the hat as his name was called. He hopped to get into gryffindor but only the hat would tell. He put it on and said quickly. "Gryffindor please" Hmm... So young, and adventurous, a bit of wisdom too. Now, where to put you? You seem to take pleasure in a great many things, although you don't seem to spend too much time on any one thing. Your thoughts are uncluttered, leaving much room in your head for growth. Well, I'm sure you'll make a great... GRYFFINDOR! |

| Laura just stood there, leaning on a table, sleeping. She had a precious muggle song stuck in her head at the time, and she was a sleep-talker. "Wake me up inside...wake me up inside...call my name and save me from the dark...bid my blood to run...before I come undone...save me from the nothing I've become...bring me to life...bring me to life," She sang in her sleep as more and more students got called up to be sorted. "Frozen inside without your touch...without your love darling...only you are the life among the dead..." "Wonladieovahaichpea, Laura!" "All this time I can't believe I couldn't see...kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me!" Then, the teacher got annoyed and pulled her forward and shook her awake. "Hey! Where am I?" she said cluelessly. She looked around. "Cool!" She sat down on the stool and waited for the teacher to put the hat on her head. Just a note: In your sorting form under hobbies you say that you enjoy biting people's necks with your fangs. This insinuates that you are a vampire. This is against VH rules unless you have been approved by the powers comittee. You will be sorted after this has been fixed. Thanks - the sorting hat. |

| Jeff was ready. That was for sure. He had heard all the others get called up, and, unlike a lot of others, was patiently awaiting his own turn. Finally it came. "Parker, Jeff." He walked forward and placed the hat on his head. Whatever you say, I'll go along with, Jeff thought to the hat. An Admirable athlete! Look at the skills. Thoughtful, but not overly so. Every house could use, a boy Reminicent of this. But they must look Elsewhere, for this one seems destined for: GRYFFINDOR! Oh, my! |

| Serena sat at the unsorted table, her fingers crossed. She bit her lip timidly, as she tapped her finger quietly on the wooden table. She thought to herself: I hope I get into a good house! Well now, adventurous and curious. You seem to face even the stickiest predicaments without fear. Oh, that reminds me of another who came before you. Ever serious in the face of danger, and the blackest of foes when faced with an enemy. Alas! I digress. It had better be: GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Nathan Wolfe Jan 4 2004, 12:06 PM |
| Nathan Wolfe stood amongst the other unsorted students in the Great Hall, staring at the old hat on the stool with a rather bemused expression as it began to sing. The grey-eyed boy had heard vague details about the Sorting Hat from his parents before but he had not quite expected what was sitting in front of him now. After what seemed like an age, it had finally finished with its little rhyme and someone was starting to read out names from a rather long list of them. Waiting silently for his name to be called out, Nathan folded his arms over his chest and watched the various kids walking up to the hat. While he waited for his own name to be called out, the brown-haired boy kept himself busy by guessing which house people would get into to based on what they looked like. For the most part, his guesses were pretty accurate; the short, pretty girl with her hair done up into pigtails was placed into Hufflepuff, for example, and into Ravenclaw went the tall, lanky boy with wire-framed glasses. That kept Nathan amused until he heard a familiar name being said. His own one, in fact. "Wolfe, Nathan!" Nodding slightly to himself, Nathan moved forwards through the crowd of still-unsorted students, ducking under the arms of a tall boy and dodging around a stocky girl. Once he was finally standing beside the stool, the grey-eyed male sat down quietly and placed his hands in his lap, looking out at all of the students in the Great Hall as the Sorting Hat was slowly lowered onto his head. Trying not to think about what would happen from that moment, Nathan stayed silent as his pale eyes swept across the hall, stopping briefly on each one of the four House tables. In particular, he watched the table decorated in blue and bronze, hoping that he would be sat there in a few minutes, watching the rest of the sorting. Many impressive characteristics, I see.... You are wise beyond your years and have a passion for a challenge. Your curiosity gives you insight into the world that most ignore. I believe you will do your best in... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Mors Delatt Jan 4 2004, 12:06 PM |
| Mors was standing there among those waiting to be Sorted. He did not pay attention as the others were called but when his name was called he jumped out of his stupor immediatly and walked towards the front, looking over at the students from over his shoulder. When he got to the stool he looked at the hat placed there. 'Is this the famous Sorting Hat?' Mors thought. 'Surely they wouldn't expect me to wear that thing. Right?' Turns out they did. Scowling he took the hat and placed it on his head as he sat down. Mors was not worried, he knew he was going to be in Slytherin, he had to be. Everyone in his family had been there and he intended to do the same. It only took a matter of seconds to know what house he was Sorted in it was the... (Ooc: I want to be in Slytherin please.) Hmm... some nasty habits for an 11-year-old you have there. I'm tempted to stick you in Hufflepuff just to have someone teach you that you can learn a lot about a person when you see how they treat their servants. But as I wouldn't want to punish those poor dears, SLYTHERIN is where you go. You do have the ambition for that house... |
| Posted by: Traci McGown Jan 4 2004, 12:12 PM |
| Traci stood in the middle of the large group of anxious students, waiting for the hat to call their names. Her arms were folded and she was tapping her foot on the ground lightly. She had absolutely no clue what house the hat would decide was for her. She could see herself in any of them, really. But it all depended on... "McGown, Traci! Traci jumped slightly and looked up at the black hat, setting on it's stool as the last person it sorted took his place at the Gryffindor table. Traci edged through the others towards the stool, picked up the hat, put it on her head, and waited, staring at the dark flap that was covering her eyes. A strong character I see… a love for broadening your relations by meeting new people, seeking excitement, accepting changes that may occur and a desire to work with dragons. With this large quantity of spunk, I see no other house for you except… GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Wesly Addison Jan 4 2004, 12:25 PM |
| *Wesly Addison stood at the edge of the crowd of students, waiting for the sorting hat to call there name. They all seemed to be huddleed togther like sheep. Some of them looked anxious, some looked bored to the point of exaustion. Was that girl over there actuly asleep? "Probally past her bed time," Wesly thought. It seemed to take forever. Already there was a good fifty people called, and the crowd hadn't seemed to slim a bit. "Oh come on, lets just get this over with," Wesly thought, as a small girl was put in her house. He wished that they actuly went in alphabetical order. Addison would have probally been one of the first names called. "Addison, Wesly" 'Finaly,' Wesly thought, walking confidently up to the stool where the sorting hat was. He put it on his head and waited some more for its call. You chose to support your sister over the rest of your family and prefer to get ahead on your own talents rather than take the easy road. Your ambition to stay one step ahead of even your closest friends places you in….SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Kitty Warrden Jan 4 2004, 01:03 PM |
| Kitty tensed as the list slowly closed towards her name. They were in the "W's" now. She nearly lept out of her seat when her name was called- "Warrden, Kitty." Called Magonigle(sp?). She tensed firther and stood, straightening her robes, and making sure everythign about her was okay. She strode to the platform and seated herself on the stool. She took a deep breath, and placed the Sorting Hat upon her head, it was a bit big, and nearly hid her eyes. She took a sharp intake of breath as she heard voices began speaking within her head. A Medi-witch…I see you care for human life above all else and prefer to mediate rather than get involved in a fight. Your kindness is one of a kind and will carry you far. I place you in…. HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Reena Achinger Jan 4 2004, 01:04 PM |
| Reena stood patiently in line waiting for her name to be called. She had no house in mind but still she felt extremely nervous. "Achinger, Regnihca!" She cringed as her first name was called. Reena nervously walked up to the stool and sat down on it. She looked over at the Gryffindor table looking for her cousin Katy Moon as the hat went over her eyes. Let’s see now…I see a fiery spirit and someone with a slight tendency towards breaking rules, but a love of learning above all else. You are a RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Jamie Clarke Jan 4 2004, 01:04 PM |
| Jamie listened for his name and made his way to the front. He happily sat on the stool. mmmmm.....he thought "whatever house..." A young man of few words, but you get your point across. You accept what life has given you and are loyal to those you care about. You will do well in….HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Jaklyn Sparrow Jan 4 2004, 01:09 PM |
| This was it. Jaklyn entered the great hall, her head held high. Well, sort of. If only her uncle could see her now... She stood in line with everyone, glancing at the Gryffindor table under her eyelids, and then to the tattered hat on a stool. How peculiar. Very interesting. Then a rip in the brim began to sing, and Jaklyn couldn't help but smile. Before she knew it, she heard, Sparrow, Jaklyn! She held her breath, then stepped up to the stool. She sat down and placed the hat on her head, hoping for the best...Gryffindor...I'm not smart enough to be in Ravenclaw... Snorkling and scuba diving?! What an exciting life, I'm almost jealous that I'm just a hat. There isn't much of a choice for me to make with you. You're obviously a .... GRYFFINDOR!! |
| Posted by: Yuuki Kaiba Jan 4 2004, 01:17 PM |
| Yuuki couldn't wait to here her name, when she did she skipped more then walked to the sorting hat with a mialicous grin plastered on her face and put it on her head, with millon thoughts going threw her mind. 'I hope I am not put in hufflepuff, I don't think dad would like that house' 'Mom won't care, she is just so proud of me' 'Slytherin or Ravenclaw would make dad really happy and Gryffindor would be alright' 'I bet this hat is flammable' She closed he eyes tight and waited for the sorting hats descion. I see a love for adventure and little fear of danger. You break rules as long as you don’t get caught and care little about what others think of you. However, you are a Muggle-born…So, I think you’ll do well in….GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: El Mariachi Jan 4 2004, 01:21 PM |
| El Mariachi walked into the high-ceilinged hall. It was an amazing sight...not at all what he had been used to the past eleven years. His guitar case was packed along with all the other luggage, and he was uncomfortable without it. Nevertheless, he was glad to be at Hogwarts. He stood in line with the others, although not saying a word. "Mariachi, El!" He sighed. It was no secret, just something he had written down on the paper. You’ve been through a rough life, but such a jaded outlook isn’t everything that the world has to offer. The best place to put you is….HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Andie Bell Jan 4 2004, 01:26 PM |
| Andie quickly rushed in line with the rest of the students. Hoping not to many noticed her lateness. She strainted her uniform and brushed off somedirt. She watched as all the students got sorted, which made her even more anxious. She couldn't wait untill she was finally able to join a Quidditch team like her father, to Duel with a house, to become parts of clubs, to explode harmless tricks in your own common room! "Bell, Andie!" She was so deep in thoughts that she didn't even hear it call her name until someone tapped her lightly. She blinked a couple times, then realized it was her turn. "Oh!" She let out. Then she made her way up to the hat. 'I wonder what it feels like to have the hat talk on your head... she thought with a laugh as she sat down on the stool. She looked at all the tables. She thought Ravenclaw might be her house by how much she read or Hufflepuff by how much she liked to help people. But prehapps her family's long line of Gryffindors might get her into her desired house. She swung her legs back and forth as the hat was placed on her head, she laugh as it slightly as the hat began to talk, it tickled slightly. Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, Slytherin, which house shall it be Sorting Hat? She sung inside her head, knowing the hat could hear her. Why my young child, you have a wonderful sense of song. I also see a love for adventure and an interest in how things work. It takes great ambition to want to be an Auror, but you dislike breaking rules. You belong in…RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Brian Moon Jan 4 2004, 01:29 PM |
| Brian stood in line waiting to be called, he felt as nervous as heck. Can't they get to my name faster? He thought impatiently. He started to tap his foot wishing his last name started with a B instead of M. Someone with a last name that started with an L was called. Yes! Come on! Get to the M's now! More names were called off, his name was getting closer. "Moon, Brian!" Was called. "Yes!" Brian got out of line and walked over to the stool. He sat down and the sorting hat was placed on his head. It went right over his eyes. Gryffindor...Gryffindor.... He thought hopefully. Brian wanted to be in the same house as his sister. You aren’t prejudiced against anyone and you have a love for excitement that is only matched by your enthusiasm at attending Hogwarts. You seem to be a good candidate for Hufflepuff, but I hate to split you from your sister…I place you in…. GRYFFINPUFF…er…GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Lestatmydarkangel Jan 4 2004, 02:01 PM |
| Lestat wandered boredly intot he hall, his gray eyes lazing over the tables, and fixed on Slytherin. I wouldn't mind Slytherin at all... He thought bitterly, as he lined up. Everyone was giggling like little maniacs, well, almost everyone. Mallory got Hufflepuff. Good...right where she deserves. Lestat thought. His eyes scanned the line, and he saw a few familiar faces. Then his name was called, and his last name was no longer a secret. Gray, Lestat! That blasted hat... He shook his blonde curls out of his face and sat down on the stool, waiting for the hat to make up it's mind...Slytherin? Or Slytherin? Just a note - you have been roleplaying here as a vampire - Lestat. You claim to not be Lestat from the Vampire Chronicles, yet you even use pictures from the movie to portray your character. This is not only against the VH Rules by disreguarding the Powers Comitte, but it is also against the rules of crossovers. You need to change a few things with your character and upon resubmitting your sorting form - you will be sorted into a house. Thanks - The Sorting Hat. |
| Posted by: hpfan21 Jan 4 2004, 02:05 PM |
| Carroll stood nervously in line, waiting to be sorted. "I wish my name was at the beginning at the alphabet!" she thought impatiently. Finally, Professor McGonagall called, "Neale, Carroll!" Carroll ran up to the the stool, sat down, and placed the hat on her head. "Hmmm, let me see..." it murmured. "Quite a good mind, but also very courageous. You could either be in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. It's your choice." "I'll be in Gryffindor." said Carroll confidently. "Better make it... GRYFFINDOR!"[QUOTE]You could be in either Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. First I would like to comment and say that I do not appreciate the fact that you have put words into my mouth. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, lets look a bit further into your mind...I see you love to learn and consider the unknown a mere challenge. You agree with following the rules, but still question some of them. That wit and curiosity could only put you one place….RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Jasi Tanner Jan 4 2004, 02:18 PM |
| The train ride had been long, and Jasi was glad it was over. He walked into the great hall and stood as confedantly as he could while being scared to death waiting for his name. "Tanner, Jasi," he noted that they didn't pronounce it wrong like all his muggle teachers had, then walked numbly up to the stool, and placed the hat on his head. It flopped over his eyes, and he waited, unable to hear anything but his scared and shallow breaths. The pain of loss is difficult to bear, not that you’d believe me…I am just a hat. Your determination to prevent past mistakes is admirable and you are willing to help others. You’ll do well in…HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Selena Boscarelli Jan 4 2004, 02:27 PM |
| Selena walked into the hall nervously, twitching a bit at the sight of some of the meanest girls she knew becoming Hufflepuffs...did that mean she was to be a *gulp* Slytherin? She hoped for Ravenclaw, and kept her fingers crossed until she heard the voice of a professer. "Boscarelli, Selena!" Selena sat down quietly and let the hat slip over her eyes. Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, PLEASE NO SLYTHERIN! Please Mr. Hat I really think I'd excell in Ravenclaw house. Selena thought nervously. Your family is very important to you and you want to make them proud. I see you like to learn whatever you can and you don’t shy away from adventure either. That unique combination and an ability to walk in other’s shoes places you in….RAVENCLAW! The sorting hat's announcement made her smile a toothy grin to her new fellow Ravvies before hugging the hat. |
| Posted by: Nazman Jan 4 2004, 03:17 PM |
| "Firs' years, Firs' years over here" said a ruddy voice as Nazif walked on to the station. He saw the shape of a gigantic man. He approached the man cautiosly and waited by him as he yelled for the other first years to come. When they all got there, the man lead them to a fleet of boats and sat down in one. He ordered them to take a boat and sit down. He went into the same boat as this man before anyone alse. "Er- hi"he said" "I'm Nazif Smith but everyone calls me Naz" "Rebeus Hagrid's the Name and I'm gamekeeper of the Hogwarts grounds and teacher of Care of Magical Creatures." They conversed all the way until Naz caught site of Hogwarts. He had seen it in a picture but it was nothing compared to the real thing. While he was watching they pulled into a kind of dock and walked into the Entrance Hall. He could tell that a cathedral could fit inside it. Hagrid led them into a room opposite a set of Double doors where he could here voices. Once inside the other room everybody talked for a while until a woman with black hair in a bun and a severe looking face. She quited them down and led them through the set of double dorrrs and he saw the biggest room he had ever seen. He looked up and saw a completely transparent ceiling. The woman led them to the front of the hall where a ragged old hat sat. "When i call your name you shall step forward and wear the hat. It will then announce your house and then you sit at the appropriate table" she said. She began reading names for a long time until he heard his name. "Smith, Nazif" He walked forward eagerly and put on the hat with a last twing of nerves. You fear not being able to live up to your family’s expectations and are willing to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I see that you are not above fighting for what you believe in…I believe you’ll do best in…GRYFFINDOR! |

| **John walks into the room, perfectly comfortable with the situation, then laughs quitely at the crying girl next to him.** God, this is pathetic. Im just going to sit down now. **The girl took the bait. She looked around at all of the students crying, then back at John and started walking to the Hufflepuff table. Within seconds, half of the new students were walking to different respective tables. None of the teachers noticed a thing. Then all of a sudden there was an explosion of laughter and confusion.** OH MY GOD, SHE DID IT!!! **Finally, everyone got back to their respective places.** Blah Blah Blah, hurry up would ya. Davis, Johnathan! Took long enough **John laughed to himself** Slytherin.....Slytherin.....Slytherin **The hat slid over his eyes as he continued to pray. You want to own all of Knockturn Alley? Now that is rather Ambitious…you follow your family’s beliefs and are itching to duel. Your disregard for the rules can only put you in one place….SLYTHERIN! |

| Makailah walked into great hall. She was extremely hyper, but also a bit nervous. She realy hoped to get into gryffindor, but only the sorting hat would decide. She listened closly for her name. "Noxturn Makailah," she head. She quickly ran up there and pulled on the hat, she bit her lip and repeated in her head, Oh please Gryffindor, Oh please let me be in Gryffindor. A certain disregard for the rules and a love for adventure, I see you want to learn to defend yourself and others as well. A very noble trait that places you in…GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Micro Jan 4 2004, 03:32 PM |
| Micro nervously waited for her name. When she heard it being called, she went up to the stool that the sorting hat rested upon. She waited anxiously for a reply, all the while thinking Please don't put me in Slytherin! Even though there is some courage in you, you seem more suited for a somewhat quieter house. You'll find the atmosphere you need nowhere else but in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Aurelia Jan 4 2004, 04:10 PM |
| Aurelia's cheeks were flushed with the warmth of bodies crammed together into a crowd as she slowly walked past a group of twitching new students about to be sorted. The insanity of English children as they squirmed in their places and tried not to let their heads explode with the utter effort of waiting for the ratty hat to be placed on her heads was a marked challenge from the placid calm she had become accustumed to in Spain. A little apart from them, she eyed them with something akin to disdain. Idiotas hiperactivos. Shaking her head slightly, she turned to survey the sorting procedure through narrowed eyes. Of what she had heard from her Slytherin brother, there were only two houses worth even considering: Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Gryffindors were fools with more brawn than brain and Hufflepuffs were rather slow. She did not fancy Slytherin much either, to be quite honest; the elitist and snobby bunch reminded her too much of her own family. Ravenclaw seemed the only tolerable house to her. Lost in her ruminations, Aurelia was startled as a loud voice called her name. It was time then. Without glancing at anyone, she walked directly to the stool and cooly waited for the hat to be placed on her head. You surely know what you want, my dear. Quite a character, aren't you? And that at such a young age already. Well, there is only one place where you can live up to your own expectiations and that would be SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Phineas Querrel Jan 4 2004, 04:12 PM |
| Phineas had been standing in the crowd of anxious unsorted students like himself, and he was very nervous. He hoped that he would either be with Kyranae, or in Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff wouldn't be so bad, either. He watched as many were sorted. One was a Gryffindor, and he grinned as he watched the Gryffindors welcome him. Phineas became less tense and watched the next. Ravenclaw. Interesting. Just the greatest place there could be. He sighed of happiness and went into a daydream of being in Ravenclaw. Just then, he snapped back out of it and noticed how corny he was being. Hufflepuff came next. The Hufflepuffs were very enthusiastic. Only Merlin knows what a mix could be there. At last, a Slytherin came to be sorted and Phineas came uneasy again. This boy shared some qualities of Phineas. The boy had the same facial expression as him and he couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. The crowd of unsorted students became smaller as the sorting grew. Yes, there were many left behind Phineas, of course. He watched atleast one more from each house be sorted when he grew disinterested. Phineas looked around the House Tables and saw them intently watching the unsorteds become first year students. How far would this journey take him? How cool could it be to learn spells? Phineas would soon find out. As a matter of fact, he would find out now. "Querrel, Phineas!" called an unfarmiliar voice. Phineas's eyes grew wide and he stood stiff as a board. "Oh no," he muttered to himself. "Already?" He loosened his foot and stepped forward through the crowd and walked up on the stage and turned his head to look out at everyone watching him. "Oh boy," he thought. "So many of them." He sat upon the stool and let the hat place him. Phineas finally realised he didn't care where he was, just as long as he made some good friends and made it through Hogwarts safely, and of course, was able to see Kyranae. Phineas closed his eyes as he listened to the Sorting Hat talk, and let the already sorted students watch him from their house tables. Your life seems to revolve around books, my dear boy. To you the answers to all your questions can be found in a book. There is so much desire to study in you that I can see only one place to put you. RAVENCLAW it is! |
| Posted by: Oasis Elvea Jan 4 2004, 04:31 PM |
| Oasis walked nervously into the hall with the rest of the first years. All around her students muggle-born, half blood, and pure-blood all mingled and talked anxiously awaiting their sorting. Being a Pure-blood but from a small family Oasis knew all about the Sorting Hat, so she wasn't as nervous as some of the other students. A teacher she never saw before stood infront of the only horizontal table with a three legged stood and a tattered dusty hat. The hat began to fold or rip and started singing a song. Oasis smiled and clapped as it finished and waited for the sorting to begin. Student by student went by to be sorted some when to Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Slytherin and Ravenclaw and Oasis knew they were getting close to her name. "Elvea, Oasis." Was called by the teacher reading the scroll with the list on it. Nodding Oasis made her way through the throng of students to the front of the room. As she sat down on the stood and the tattered Sorting Hat placed on her head. As it began to almost to completely sort out her skills and qualities she didn't care what house she was placed in. She just hoped to have a somewhat interesting year. You're hard to put into a house, you know? You possess many excellent qualities that would make you a valuable asset to each and every house, but I do think that your ambition is the most prevalent of your characteristics. You will do splendidly in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: angelus Jan 4 2004, 05:01 PM |
| "Angelus" Angelus heard his name get called and he slowly entered the great hall. He looked around at all the new faces and he took a big and deep breath. He then reached the stool and he sat on it and watched as the hat was palced on his head. He thought to himself. "Gryffindor Let it be Gryffindor or Slytherin maybe." I'm sure you won't disappoint your father, boy. With such a natural sense of leadership and ambition, what could stand in your way? You take over when everybody else is lost. You're the one who takes action, and yet you find yourself careful enough to trust yourself to master the difficult art of Potion-making. There is only one house for you, and this is SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Gary Colms Jan 4 2004, 05:02 PM |
| Gary stood, expressionless in the frazzled crowd of unsorted students. "Come on already," he said as he was bumped into by an overly anxious boy. "Would you calm yourself down!? Merlin, you act like it's a life or death situation. It's a hat...and four tables that gains you a title. Woo...hoo." Once he heard the cheering from the Gryffindor table, he shot a glance toward it and had a grimace upon his face. "This is ridiculous," said Gary as he still awaited to be sorted. "Colms, Gary!" shouted a voice. "Yeah, yeah! I'm comin'!" he replied, still looking unamused. Once he stepped up to the stool, he dusted it off and sat on it. "Dirty, rotten things," he grunted. The hat was placed on his head and it began to sort him... Hello, my dea---er... hello, my boy. Now, I do expect some manners from the children I am about to sort, you know? Now let's see... Hmm... You don't like studying, are a rather rude and reckless young man already. Not the slightest hint of a desire for learning nor the tiniest speck of ambition can I see in you. You're rather straight-forward and state your opinions openly. Not very diplomatic, much less sly, from you. You'll do well among others that are as bold as you are. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: John Raven Jan 4 2004, 05:07 PM |
| John Walks up to the chair and sits down. He puts the hat on and can tell that the last person to wear it was real sweaty. Ewwwww. He sits and thinks in his mind " Man just put me in a good house. One where I'll feel like at home. I wanna place where people will have the same interests as me......................I could really go for a hamburger....no must think about the sorting....must think about the sorting..........must think about.....must....ard mmmmmmmmmmm mustard. No snap out sheesh this is taking a long time." With out thinking he yells out "Come on just sort me already!!!!" he looks around and notices everyone is looking at him. he just sits down and waits. You're a quick-witted young man with a good sense of humour. You do seem as though you pondered your moves thoroughly before acting, and you know when to rather run away than stay and fight. Clever indeed. This calls for RAVENCLAW! |

| William walks into the Great Hall and gets on to the end of the line to be sorted! It was only a short time before his name was called out! "Wraith William"! He walks up to the stool , sits down and the sorting hat is placed on his head! Hmm... Dark, Edgy, some cunning. A litle bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll - Well now, that sounds like the makings of a song. But alas, I digress. Your street smarts would serve you well in Slytherin, perhaps they could refine your rough edge and house train you. Yes, yes, it had better be SLYTHERIN! |

| Night sat silently and waited for his name to be called. If there was a house he didn't want to be in it was Slytherin. He was muggle-born and he didn't want to be made fun of. "BLACK, NIGHT!" He got up and sat on the stool. 'Please not Slytherin!' he pleaded silently. Such a hard life for such a young man. I see you like to study and you seem very smart. You seem like a Romantic one too. Well, I do hope you enjoy this house.......... RAVENCLAW |
| Posted by: Seda Platt Jan 4 2004, 06:50 PM |
| Seda rolled her eyes at the pathetic look of anxiousness on so many of the little faces. This really was taking too long, if Seda had to listen to the murmurings of fear from this group of students much longer, she was afraid she would do something rather rash. Glancing at sorting hat, a chill ran up Seda's spine. I have to put that god forsaken hat on my beautiful, flaxen hair? You have got to be kidding me. Frowning slightly, Seda accepted the fact that she would indeed have to wear it if she were to be sorted. Seda looked around the Great Hall, and whispering under her breath she said in a mocking tone, "And I suppose I really should get sorted." Seda crinkled her nose at a random little girl that seemed to be staring at her. The girl was probably dropped on her head as a child, rendered stupid. Looking back to the ceremony Seda thought, It had better put me in the proper house. When her name was called she walked up to the stool with a swing of her hips and a wink of the eye to each of the little boys she passed. Crossing her legs as she sat down, Seda awaited this hats little sorting game to commence. Prim and Proper-- Dour and Dapper-- Bubble Bubble, Toil and trouble, Fire burn and cauldron bubble. I smell a SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Kovar Jan 4 2004, 07:01 PM |
| Kovar stood at the edge of the crowd of students, at least a foot of space between him and the next student. A boy was pushed into him. Kovar snarled, "Do not touch me!" He gave an icy glare to those around him. Half of them were mudbloods. "Blood traitors," he muttered, ignoring them all. Kovar saw Seda Platt go up to be sorted. Vaguely he wondered what house she would be in. He scowled at the thought and was going to rib her as he passed, but heard his name being called. Kovar stepped up and sat, hoping that the hat would put him in the right house. He did not want to face his father if it did not. You've had a hard life, boy, even at your young age. This has left scars on your soul. And while Helga Hufflepuff would welcome you with open arms, you seem to not be one for much physical contact. There is a better option for you. You will soon find out that not all is dark and gloomy in SLYTHERIN! |

| Dominator stood nervously in the line waiting for his name to be called. He looked around and found a familiar face. His cousin - Joe - who liked to be called Snooper. He smiled at him and he smiled back. The teacher up the front called my name and I proceded to the chair - I put the hat on and waited with bated breath. [OOC: I have Snooper's permission to be his cousin - You can even ask him.  ]It's alright, dear. Quite natural that you're a bit confused, having been thrown into the wizarding world just like that. You seem a bit insecure and clumsy but very friendly. Indeed, you'll do well among people who equal you in friendliness. And those people are all in HUFFLEPUFF! |

| maryk stand there watching as the other students getr sorted she wonders where she will be placed. She watches as another one goes up to be sorted when will her name be called. maryk is getting very bored standing here and waiting she stands up taller hopefully soon. she hears her name being called she walked up to the stool that the hat is sitting on and sits down there she looks at the gyffindor and slytherin tables the she looks at hufflepuff and ravenclaw where is she gonna be put secretely she wishes it were slytherin but she would be happy even if it was gryffindor where her family has been placed but oh well let the hat make its choice she thinks it will put me where i belong thats what everyone has been telling me she fgeels the hat being placed on her head please put somewhere where i will be happy she thinks oh how i want to be in slytherin if not slytherin then gryffindor she listens as the sorting at talks and anxiously awaits what the sorting hat decides. cuase how she wants to go join her new table where she can be with them and talk. You come to this place search of something new, friendships and fun, I believe you shall find this best in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Mercedes Ana Hermoso Jan 4 2004, 08:19 PM |
| Mercedes stood with her fellow students gently rocking back and forth, her hands tucked behind her. She waited patiently and nervously for her name to be called; she watched the other students reactions as their name was called and as they were sorted. Finally, it had seemed like ages, her name was called. She made her way to the sorting hat and sat down while placing it on her head. She hummed softly to herself as she awaited its decision. It takes Brains not Brawn to win each time, your smarts will prove that to all. I believe you would perform your best in....RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Chance Carter Jan 4 2004, 08:40 PM |
| Chance Carter shoved past all of the scared looking unsorteds waiting to sit under the hat. He heard his name being called. Smirking he stepped up to the platform and sat down (ooc: My apologies...it would've been better but I have to go) The sorting hat nearly jumped off of Mr. Carter's head and his brim curled up to what seemed to be a snarl. "You remind me of a young blonde haired boy from some fifteen years ago. Malfoy was the name. There is no other place for you except SLYTHERIN!" |
| Posted by: Kurisu Jan 4 2004, 08:53 PM |
| Kurisu heard his full name a started walking to the hat, Rather pointless having this long walk, just wastes more of my time he dispised people wasing his time, and half wanted to add antohter rip to that hat. Let someone else do it for me, but the problem is the closest lackie of mine's in Switzwerland. He sat down on th stool "Hurry it up I've ot things to do and my time is valuable," A nice muggleborn! But alas, a youth spent cast out from the crowd? Oh, our Helga would give you the motherly love you so desperately need. It's a shame a youth such as yourself had such a dysfunctional home life. In any event, welcome to your new family: HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Kimberly Ashley Jan 4 2004, 09:31 PM |
| Kira sat on her seat, staring idly at her cloak. Odd sort of clothing for a school....and an odd school, too. A castle. The again, her last school had been a former farm and she had a class in the master bedroom. Every so often, her eyes moved to the hat, wondering what technology they'd used to make it do such things. Kira still had yet to learn that this was not an ordinary school. Ashley, Kimberly With a start, she sat up straight, dark eyes wide on her pale face, her long brown hair falling down her back as she looked at the hat. Heart racing in surprise still, Kira got up, feeling nervous for a moment, then gritted her teeth, pretended to not be at all hesitant as she climbed onto the stage, eyes challenging any that dare look at her in anything but curiousity. Please don't put me in anything...boring. Kira thought with a sigh, fidgetting already, looking around at the audience in innocent curiousity. Always curious, and a constant craving for learning. You know fear, little one, but don't let it stop you. That, my dear, is a trait for a Gryffindor, but I sense something more. Determination is a trait possessed by few, sought by many, prized by all, it would be wise of you, to heed my call... Their padded cell, may yet serve you well, in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 4 2004, 10:29 PM |
| *coughs* I'm sorry for the delay but there seemed to be a problem with our sorting form system. It should be fixed, but you guys may have to submit your forms yet again... *hides* I'm VERY VERY sorry about this. We tried things a little differently this year, and it seemed as if it was holding up fairly well at first. Alright, so lets try this again shall we? Everyone who has not been sorted yet - please don't hate me and fill out the sorting form one more time. Let's see if this is going to work... -The Sorting Hat (if I had fingers, I would cross them) |
| Posted by: Jean-Baptiste Chandonne Jan 4 2004, 10:50 PM |
| *Jean-Baptiste Chandonne is attempted to save the guy/girl behind the magic hat by ripping the hat to shreds, but restrains. *Jean-Baptiste Chandonne had tapped his foot in time to the Hat's song, laughing at it words. Funny thing it is, this hat. He laughed again. Watching as Venus had been sorted into Slytherin he couldn't help but think that now he couldn't put mice in her bed or lock her draws. Or fill her bags with toothpaste... "Those where the days." He muttered. Walking up to the stool after his name had been called, Jean-Baptiste couldn't help himself so he waved cheekily to Venus as she sat with her brother as he waited for the hat to go on, which it did, sliding down his nose and covering his ears. (yeah. sorry about all that) Quite a feisty young man, aren't you? I hope the next person who puts me on gets more than a few tattered bits of cloth... let's see now. A prankster, that's for sure, and brave enough to want to chase dragons? Brave, or crazy, but the difference has never mattered much to me! There's one house that'd be perfect for you, and maybe they'll be able to help you with your.. aversion to certain types. Maybe you can teach them this smocker game you seem to think so much of as well. Better be GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 4 2004, 10:53 PM |
| ALRIGHT GUYS! IT IS FIXED NOW! we even tested it. *still prays to keep people from destroying the poor hat* Sooooooooo everyone that hasn't been sorted yet.... redo your form. pretty please. and don't kill me. I swear it will work now. And you'll be sorted very soon. lol. like, tonight. I promise. *giggles* Thank you for your time and patience. -The Hat |
| Posted by: Tommy Hardgrove Jan 4 2004, 10:54 PM |
| *Tommy Hardgrove sees the Sorting Hat whimper plaintively, and hopes it has been fixed. He always heard of dogs being sent to get fixed, but heard it was painful for the puppy. Hoping that no one hurts the poor hat, he plops down on the stool and awaits its decision. You seem to be a bit of a prankster, that's always fun. But you also seem to have a good sense of rules, and understand the importance of working hard in school. This one is very tough. I'm flattered by your concern for my welfare, but that just makes my decision even harder... you seem to fit so well in almost every house. I think the place for you to shine the brightest will be RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Natalia Lopez2 Jan 4 2004, 11:00 PM |
(ooc- YAY! Fourth one sent in!  )*Natalia Lopez2 stood in line. She waved to her sister Tori sitting at the Slythie table. When her name was called, she plopped on the stool and waited for her results patiently. Ah, an easy one. I can see that you love your sister very much, and I wouldn't want to break you from the only family member you seem to have any good feelings for, and I see you have a sly mind... so it better be SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Yuugi Kitsune Jan 4 2004, 11:17 PM |
| Yuugi waited for her name to be called, "Kitsune,Yuugi" when she heard her name she walked up to the sorting hat and set it on her head. 'Please, let me be in Slytherin, please let me be in Slytherin, my mom and brother will be so disappointed if I don't get into Slytherin, no other house will do, so please let me be in Slytherin' Yuugi silenlty prayed. Interesting family... I see you think you'd do best in Slytherin, but I think it's time for family tradition to be broken, in more ways than one, maybe. I think you'll find what you're looking for in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Jezelyn Black Jan 4 2004, 11:20 PM |
| *Jezelyn Black sat in line, waiting anxiously for her turn. 'Please, anything that's right for me,' she thought. 'Maybe Gryffindor with Allison, man, wouldn't father be upset. Two Gryffindor children. A nightmare. A blood traitor. Me.' She heard her name called, and she skipped up to the front of the hall, not a care in the world. She gave the hall a Cheshire grin, one that Alex Winter would be proud of. She sat proudly on the stool, gave the whole hall a nice wave, then placed the hat on her head. "Please, pick something right for me," Jezelyn asked the sorting hat. "I know that I might get something I dont' like, but just give me something that will help decide where I should be. Doesn't matter, just please be right. And something Allison won't hate me for." Ah.. horses. How I wish I had legs so I could ride one myself. The smell of the hay, the wind whipping the hair I don't have into the face I don't have and stinging the eyes I .. also don't have. Ahem. Where was I? Ah yes, young Jezelyn. I think we both know where you're going, don't we? So you won'be surprised when I say.. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: spirit_lupin Jan 4 2004, 11:31 PM |
| I was waiting for the professor to call my name. Then, finally she did. My heart was pounding.  .I sat down and herd the sorting hat speaking to me. I was thinking "Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw! My whole family was in Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!" I felt sick.  Well well, you seem to be full of spunk! A flyer as well! Let's put you in... HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Stephanie_Evans Jan 4 2004, 11:34 PM |
| Stephanie walked into the Great Hall behind all the other 1st years. She smiled as she looked around. "Finally I'm actually here." She whispered to herself. She got to the front of the hall and stood in amongst the others, beside her 3 friends, Sakura, Armina and Elessar. She looked at the hat on the stool and giggled. This was so silly! She heard her name, "Evans, Stephanie" She stepped forward, and put the old tattered hat on her head, awaiting her fate. Anything but Slytherin would be cool. She thought in her mind. ((OOC: Can I stress that I am NO RELATION to Lily. I just have the same last name as her... I'm a muggle-born... so I can't be related to her anyway. I hope you get it this time.)) (ooc: that's fine. Just had to make sure. And yes, we got the form this time.  )Well hello! You seem to be very relaxed compared to most of the students I've met. Not afraid of much, are you? Fearless! Willing to stand up for a friend as well, that shows character. I think that you'll fit right in with... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Brandon Nott Jan 4 2004, 11:36 PM |
| (ooc: I suppose I'm supposed to post this again what with all the problems and such, so...) A huge smirk was plastered to his face as Brandon sauntered into the Great Hall. He winked at all the faces he recognized, and didn't pay much attention to the ones he didn't. Brandon knew that he was drawing some attention to himself by his dramatic entrance and the way that his leather cloak swished behind him as he strode along the line of students to his spot. He had been waiting for this moment for quite some time. Finally. I'm going to be the member of a house. And I will be allowed to hang out with members of that house only if I so desire, he imagined, exciting himself with the thought. Impatient because his name was closer to the end of the alphabet that the beginning, Brandon waited next to his calmly composed sister. Whent he grossly raggedy old hat called out, Nott, Brandon!" the blonde Nott stepped forward confidently. He sincerely and ultimately desired to be in Slytherin, and he didn't like trusting this hat to make such a life-altering and vital-to-survival decision, but as he put it on his head he knew he was going to have to. Before the hat covered his piercing gray eyes he glanced over at the Slytherin table and saw his sister seated ther. Please. Slytherin, he wished one last time. Let's see then... Cocky? Yes. Charming? Why.. yes. Sly? Yes. Outspoken? Witty? Cruel? Resourceful? Ambitious? Yes. Yes. Yes. ..... and yes. You remind of someone.. who is it.. oh yes, that's him. Salazar Slytherin shared many of your same attributes, and I think he'd roll over in his grave if I didn't put you in.. SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Sly Acres Jan 4 2004, 11:46 PM |
| Waited at the back of the group of excited unsorteds, arms folded and look very distant. He was immersed in deep thought, considering all the options: Hufflepuff's a no go. If I went in there, the whole family would probably disown me. Gryffindor's a definite no, too. Filled with too many muggleborns, it'll slander the Acres name. Not to mention, the family would probably disown me. Ravenclaw...there's a possibility...I'm not exactly the smartest of the bunch but I think I could manage... But Slytherin...that's where I'm supposed to be. Everyone in the famiilies been in it since...forever. On top of that, it seemed like a fine house, somewhere he might fit in. But really, I don't want to let my mother down. She'll be devasted if I'm not put into that house... "Acres, Sly!" Sly snapped out of his thoughts as he heard his name drown them out. He passed a hand through his spiky hair until he thought it seemed presentable, then moved his way through the others to the three legged stool in front of the Great Hall. He took the hat off the stool, sat on the chair, then pulled the hat on, crossing his legs at the ankles. Make mother proud...Slytherin...Slytherin... Hmm, this one isn't too hard. Rowena might have liked you for your brain, but she also likes rules, and you don't seem to care much for them. Mmmm, you can be kind though... that's something Helga would definitely approve of, especially kindness shown when all your instincts are screaming against it. In that case it better be.... SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Archavias Armos Longshaw Jan 5 2004, 12:00 AM |
| Archavias slowly walks in the Great Hall with the crowd of first years, and smiles twistly at the nervous, soon to be fellow first years. As they line up Archavias looks at his sister with his pale white eyes, and they smile together with pride. The sorting had just finished singing the sorting song, when it started calling out names, starting with A's. Archavias impatiently waited for the last names that started with L's to be called. Archavias thought to himself....... This will be a piece of cake... hehehe.... I have too much pure blood in my family to not be put into Slytherin..... and too much muggle blood spilt from my families name... Yes I can't wait.... father will be proud! Longshaw, Archavias! Archavias was jerked back to his senses and he stepped forward. He walked proudly to the three legged stool and grabbed the hat. As soon as he sat, he thrust the Sorting hat on to his head and waited....... Oh my, you have quite a temper don't you? Quite the Daddy's boy as well I see, heh heh. Er.. well, I say give the boy what he wants, (if only to avoid being thrown across the Hall) so it better be.... SLYTHERIN!! |
| Posted by: Kimmy Bristow Jan 5 2004, 12:45 AM |
| ((This is just in case I have to repost the RP because the form didn't go through. If not, then just ignore this)) Kimmy stod in line with the other unsorteds, vaggly hopping that she wasn’t touching any mudbloods as she stood there. She saw Rhysenn and waved at her. The other girl just rolled her eyes. she sighed and looked away, wondering vaguely why Rhysenn didnt like her. It wasntt as though shed done anything wrong to her. Oh well. Kimmy looked out into the crowd of students that had already been sorted and caught herself wondering how that girl over there could ever possibly hope to graduate with that fashun sence. She was startled out of her train of thought when that battered looking hat yelled, “Bristow, Kimberly!” Wow, I like, TOTALLY know where to put you, dude. Er, dudette. Whatever, you know what I mean, right? I mean, for SURE you know what house I'm putting you in, right? Like, it's so obvious! Like, you so aren't Gryffindor material, and Hufflepuffs would, like, cramp you style and stuff. Ravenclaws are too, like, you know. So I guess it will have to be, like.... SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Cassandra Lake Jan 5 2004, 12:52 AM |
| Cassandra waited patiently for her turn. She wasn't really that concerned with which house she got as long as it's not Slytherin. Not that she was afraid of it, but she knew if she was placed there she would be dead within a week. Muggle bashing was just something she couldn't live with. Much less those Death Eaters, good for nothing pieces of filth, they all should be... Lake, Cassandra! She bravely walked to the stool and put on the hat, hoping to get the house she already knew she belonged in. Ms Lake, Ms Lake, now where to put you? With parents as intelligent as yours one would think you ought to go to Ravenclaw. As clever as your parents may be, you seem to reply more upon common sense than books. Your penchant for sports and hatred for the dark arts will serve you well in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Ella Albridge Jan 5 2004, 01:01 AM |
| By the time Ella got off the train she was incredibly bored. Wasn't much to do there, much less good conversation. She looked about her at all of the jabbering idiots rustling about. Most of them were those damn muggles, you'd think they'd never seen the sky before or something. They were looking all about in wonder. There was nothing special about it. Ella finally found a few people who just as bored and annoyed as she was. They were just eager to get to the castle and be sorted. Finally they got into boats and made their way across the water. When they reached the other side, Ella and her new friends lingered forward away from the masses. They entered the castle, which was very much to Ella's liking, and began on their way to the great hall. Ella was delighted with the castle, it was classy yet grim. There was something mysterious and dark about it. It was quite intriguing. Yet thought it was grim, there was also something beautiful and enchanting about it. It was perfect. Finally they reached a great set of doors, and entered in. Four tables filled with students watched them as they approached the front where another long table of teachers was seated. Ella was joyous to be so close to done with this whole process. Slowly one by one, they called out names and some lumpy old hat chose a house for them. It was almost appalling that this raggedy old thing would choose Ella's future at Hogwarts, it was awful that she even had to touch it. But finally it was her turn, and touch it she did. She lipped it over her head and it was quite dark. Voices murmured all about her. Ahhhh Ms Albridge, I remember your parents well. It seems like just yesterday that the both of them were pulling the same face that you are currently making. Worry not my dear, because I know just where to put you. SLYTHERIN! |

| steph stood there anxiously waiting for her name to be called out thinking that she did not want to be placed in slytherin. As she heard steph grant her name being called out as she stumble up to the stool trying to feel brave but was nervous about what house she would be sorted into where she placed the sorting hat on her head waiting for the deicsion. Ahhh, you wish to become a teacher. A friendly attitude and a willingness to help others are both admirable traits that will serve you well in HUFFLEPUFF! |

| Arwen Moon enters the great hall. Hears the sorting hat calls her name. She goes up and sorting hat is placed on her head. Anxiously awaitng the sorting hat decision. Another sweet and lovely girl, I see. I can also see that above all you excel at peacemaking. I believe thre is but one place for you: HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Shodogg Jan 5 2004, 01:28 AM |
| Shodogg was beginning to fall asleep on his feet. Caeruleus, Shodogg He jumped slightly as he heard his name, he wasn't nervous or anything, he just didn't like being surprised at the moment, he was trying to sleep.Sho then thoughtlessly walked to the ragged hat and placed it on his head before sitting and letting the hat read each and every one of his thoughts Well, aren't you quite the clever one? There is but one house for you. Can you guess which one? No? Well, you ought to know. Yes, deep in your heart, you must. Intelligence and a tendency to rely on data over instincts can only lead to one place: RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Seth Mace Jan 5 2004, 01:50 AM |
| Seth lounged, leaning against the unsorteds table, as he watched each unsorted get up and sit on the little stool, the rather freaky hat coming down over their heads and a decision made. It was actually getting a bit boring and repetitive - he idly thought it would be more interesting if they could hear the process of decision the hat took. Wrinkling his nose slightly, he tapped his fingers against his leg and hoped his turn was soon. He’d like to get into Slytherin… it seemed almost expected of him now, but honestly, he wasn’t too bothered. The hat would put him where it would put him, and he was sure whichever house he was sorted into would be the best house anyway. Just as he was thinking about this and wondering if the food would be served immediately after the sorting because he was getting rather hungry, he heard his named shouted loudly as all the others before him had been. “Mace, Seth!” Blinking out of his reverie, Seth got to his feet and headed up to where the stool sat, empty. Flashing a grin at the hall of students facing him as he sat down, he felt the hat coming down on his head, flopping over to cover his eyes… Seth, you seem to be a level headed young man. Eager to learn, with a great desire to do your best. Your first instinct when faced with a challenge is to crack open a book... so after some consultation with the moth balls, we have decided that RAVENCLAW would be the best match for you! |
| Posted by: Lucifer de Morte Jan 5 2004, 03:49 AM |
| It seemed that anxiety was very much looming over the entire contingent... ah, group of unsorteds standing in front of the High Table, but to Lucifer, it was just another process that he had to get over and let it be done with. With all due respect, he knew the importance of being sorted - hell, it had to be important if you're to be in that same House for the next seven years of your schooling life. Still, the boy could neither be bothered with it, nor muster up the same excitement that most of his fellow year mates possessed. Not surprising, the heavy lack of sleep was beginning to take a toll, and if those black rings underneath his eyes meant anything, it would be that he needed a bed immediately... Stifling another yawn, the boy glanced at the sorting hat under hooded eyes, not really expecting anything interesting from the hat other than an occasional pause or some quiet mumbling. Merlin help me... The blonde sighed absently, let's hope that my placing would be over and done soon... Admidst the slight chatter, the sorting hat's booming voice could be heard once more, and this time, his name rang loud, "de Morte, Lucifer!" Rising from his seat lazily, the boy went forward to the platform, allowing the hat to be placed onto his head without much protest. He did feel slightly alarmed by its voice in his head though, and one particular thought rang in his mind... Any House will do, milord. Just... don't place me in Gryffindor eh? Hello, my boy, that's a really clever head that you have on your shoulders. You'd do Rowena proud, you know? But there is more to you than just the thirst to discover new things. You have an adventurous streak in you too. Godric would admire it. However, there is too much ambition in you for this. You seem to know exactly what you want and demand rewards when you think you deserve them. That sounds all in all very SLYTHERIN to me. |
| Posted by: Shaylee Watson Jan 5 2004, 04:10 AM |
| Shaylee sits with her hand holding her head up, waiting for her name to be called, and plays with the ring her grandmother gave her. "Watson, Shaylee" She jerks her head up and looks around. Everyone looks over at the 'Unsorted' table. She stands up, smooths down her robes and walks up to the head table. She looks at the professor standing next to the stool and smiles. She recieves nothing in return. She places the hat on her head and thinks of whats going to happen...she prays shes in the right house for her. You really are excited about being here, aren't you? That's a rare trait in a pureblood witch, my dear. You're a rather social little girl, seem to be very friendly and talkative. Quite a bubbly little person you are. I'm sure you'll do very well among others that are just as kind as you are. HUFFLEPUFF is where you go! |
| Posted by: Kevin Adams Jan 5 2004, 04:12 AM |
| Kevin filed into the Great Hall along with all the other unsorteds. He was nervous. He didn't care what house he got into when he first arrived. Now though, he had a clear feeling of where he would fit in best, and he hope the Sorting Hat would feel the same way too. At last he heard someone calle out his name. He made his way up to the seat, and the Sorting Hat was placed on his head. "Gryffindo, please..." He said softly, shutting his eyes and concentrating on getting into Gryffindor. "Please... please, place me in Gryffindor..." Another very nice young man we have here. Let's see where you'll fit in best... You're a quite social one and will do best in a house where there are kind and bubbly people. Your ambitions are great but not fit for Slytherin. As you care for magical creatures just as much as for your average wizard or witch, Helga would have snatched you already if she were still alive. Children like you belong into HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Alexandra Rhian Jan 5 2004, 04:14 AM |
| Alexandra looked at the anxious children around her. she wasn't worried; but confused. her Irish father was a sltherin here, and her Russian mother was sorted into the wolf house. the wolves, however, were a combination of this school's gryffindor and slytherin. she thought about the people she had met on her journey here; she hadn't met any Gryffs, the ravens she had met weren't that smart, neither were the hufflepuffs... and the only slytherin she had met didn't speak to her, but sounded cool enough. "Rhian, Alexandra" her name was called. she walked up proudly, smirking at the people who were going out of their minds worrying. "pathetic" she stepped onstage head high, striding across the stage. a teacher lowered a hat onto her head. " hello hat," she thought, trying to convey the confidence she was feeling. having the entire school stare at your was slightly unnerving... which house will i be in? Now here's an exceptionally smart one. A chess player, musically-inclined too, very well-spoken and quite open to new things, even Muggle music. You're a very tolerant young girl with a very sharp mind. There is but one house for you and that is RAVENCLAW! |

| When the name of importance to the person who is speaking is call it is as if time itself has stopped lone enough for questions to be asked." What if he sends me somewhere I do not with to be." "What if I trip while going up there." " What if Don't make my mother proud." Soon time returns as Citty sits upon the wooden chair and the sorting hat is placed on her head. Hmm... You're an odd one. You don't like magic? That is something really unusual in a pureblood. You say you're not good with wandwork? Don't worry, that's what this school is here for. Even though you're extremely fond of books, I see the distinct tendency towards adventure in you. You have a passion for working with magical creatures, especially dragons, and that is a trait that makes you well suited for GRYFFINDOR! |

| Maruis entered the great hall behind the other students all hoping for Gryffindor and Ravenclaw or Even a few Hufflepuff. There was only house for him Slytherin the house of those cunning and willing to get anything and everything they wanted. He had been brought up in a expensive and very syltherin like family. He watched as the other were gradually sorted into varouis houses. Suddenly he heard his name. "Anarchy,Maruis" Maruis stepped forward and placed the hat on his head. Slytherin he thought. You've got a bit of muggle blood running through your veins, yet in your eyes i see that you have the determination to do whatever it takes to acheive your goal. Sly, cunning, quite ambitious and a love for the Dark Arts that most wouldn't dare. There is only one house in which you will excell in. SLYTHERIN! |

| Devani is standing ammongst a sea of first years, she doesn't really notice all the other people arround her. "Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, mum would be proud with either, but pappa would prefer I was in his house. Ravenclaw Ravenclaw... please" she whispered under her breath. "O'Riley, Devani!" 'oh boy, here we go. Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw' she silently chanted in her head. She reached the stage picked up the hat and set it on her head. Her eyes were clinched shut praying for Ravenclaw. Now if the founders were still alive there would probably be somewhat of a small fight over you. Helga would love someone as caring as you are while Rowena would insist on that your love for books is much greater than that for living beings. And you know what? Helga, being as kind as she was, would probably have given in at some point, thus making Rowena very happy to have you in RAVENCLAW! Devani sighed with relief, ' I will have to owl mum and pappa tomorow' and she walked to the ravenclaw table with a grin on her face. 'I hope Zoe gets ravenclaw too', she winked at her friend in the crowd. |

| "Avaei,Narges" Narges bit her lip.She was both anxious and excited.She walked over to the sorting hat,hoping it won't sort her into Slytherin.She sat on the stool,placed the hat on her had and closed her eyes  You're an insecure one, not quite sure about what you want, not adventurous enough for Gryffindor, not ambitious enough for Slytherin and not studious enough for Ravenclaw. The only place where you will fit it is HUFFLEPUFF! "Avaei,Narges" or snape-black??!! |
| Posted by: Aeryn_Journey Jan 5 2004, 01:14 PM |
| "Journey, Aeryn" Her name was called crystal clear. But she was very nervous as she headed up to the three legged stool. She felt everyone stare at her, as she sat down pushing a peice of dark red hair that was covering her icy blue eye. Not knowing what house she should be in herself, she hoped the sorting hat would make the right choice. Hello, my dear. I see there's a clever mind in this head, but even though you take your time to think before you act, you're just not studious enough for Ravenclaw. So GRYFFINDOR is where you go! |
| Posted by: Kyle Orden Jan 5 2004, 01:15 PM |
| As Kyle Orden sits with his friends at the unsorted table and they chat about which house they wish to be placed in...He hears his name called. As he makes his way up to the stool he looks around to notice all eyes on him. He thinks to himself "I wonder if I will be placed with my close friends among the Gryffindor House." He places himself on the stool and the Professor places the hat on his head. He thinks to himself once again "This is a once in a life time event lets just hope its the right path." Focusing all his attention on the hat, The sorting Hat begans to speak. Flying is on your mind most of the time, isn't it? With a bit of practice you'll make it on the Quidditch team for any house. You're a very social person and therefore like to make friends and hang out with them. It's nice because you keep calm and try to settle arguments in a peaceful manner. You're also a bit clumsy which Helga would find just adorable. Therefore you shall be in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Zoe O'lang Jan 5 2004, 01:23 PM |
| Zoe's stomach sank as her name was called. The giggling and talking around her was blocked by the blood pounding in her ears. Breathing deeply, she walked up to the seat and sat down. She closed her eyes and closed her fingers and her legs, then her toes for good luck. "Please let it be anything but slytherin." She said that over and over in her head and bit down on her bottom lip. Hello! You seem like a lovely dear. A very big golden heart is beating in your chest and I would never forgive myself if I deprived one very special house of your most certainly much valued presence. A girl with such a sense for peace and calmless has to go to HUFFLEPUFF! Zoe smiled broadly and jumped off the chair. Her heart tugged when she saw the slight disappointment run across Devani's face. They had both been hoping for the same house. Smiling brightly at her friend they shared an unspoken understanding that the houses didnt matter. "Oh I must send an owlto mom and dad tonight, I cannot for get that." |

| "Bryant, Emily!" "Eep!" eeps Emily, who had been busy staring at the ceiling in facination. She had already spotted the constalations of Draco, Cassiopea, and Orion. Blushing slightly, she brushes her hands nervously down her skirt once just in case. She is used to wearing pants most of the time, and worries about accidentally flashing people if she forgets she is in a skirt. Sheepishly she makes her way up the dais and, with a slight hop, is on the tall, spindly stool. The Sorting Hat lowers and says: Your thoughts seem to revolve around one thing: studying. You liked school most before you came here, and many of your hobbies involve books and learning too. Your interests are wide-spread. I'm sure that RAVENCLAW will be the right house for you. |

| Sarah froze when she heard her name called. She couldn't believe she was actually here at Hogwarts and about to be sorted. She straightened her robes and walked up to the stool. She nervously sat down and put the hat on her head an stared into the inside of the hat. Hello, dear, you seem like an adventurous little girl even though you're likely to be frightened a bit at first. But when your curiosity kicks in, your boldness begins to show and you wander off like a true GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Scott Rapolla Jan 5 2004, 02:44 PM |
| (Form Resubmitted) *Scott Rapolla didn't know whether to smile or just be nervous. He didn't know anything about the wizarding world at all. His mother constantly sent him owls since he got on the train. Since the owls couldn't catch up with the train, he receieved them when he got off. Scott still held the letters in his hand...they were very big. Once he watched the process of the sorting, his stomach turned over and he was more nervous than he ever was before. The thought of being up in front of everyone just made him want to get sick. "Rapolla, Scott!" Someone yelled. Scott took an inhale of breath and walked up to the stage, sat on the stool, and let the hat slip on to his head. You're a very sportsy young man at your young age already. You don't strike me as the kind of child who would spend hours in the library. Defence Against the Dark Arts truly is one of the most important subjects taught here as many of your older school mates had to learn last year when there was a nasty incident with a couple of Death Eaters. You'll fit well into GRYFFINDOR! |

| "Judith Raven" someone yelled and a girl with red hair walked to ward the hat she smilled at the bunch of sorted students and she smilled at the sorting hat. She whispered then "nice to see you, please put me where you think i will fit in best but please can it be Hufflepuff?" She smilled and sitted quite nervous but she was ok. the sorting hat was on her head and it began to think where to put her : Hmmm, I see you are a kind person. You like to play a few pranks, but most of them are harmless. Full of spirit, and ready with a smile! No need to be nervous, my dear, I think a nice girl like you belongs only one place.... HUFFLEPUFF |
| Posted by: Maverick Jan 5 2004, 03:07 PM |
| Maverick hears his name called. He casually steps up, sits on the stool and feels the sorting hats weight on his head. He wonders to himself if the sorting hat really can feel what he is thinking; can it feel his pureblood coursing through his veins? Maverick wonders to himself which house he will be writing to his father about this evening. Mmm, you have a fine mind, lad. A lust for learning that suits you well. I myself speak many, many languages, I can see that all I need to say to you is "Ugh. Ooga, mmrphky!... SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Cara Vixen Jan 5 2004, 03:09 PM |
| Cara shuffled forward through the others her age ontil she could see the sorting hat and the one beneath it. She stood curiously as she ruffled her cloak and reached up to her bun, never normally letting it down as she now did. She slipped the tie into her pocket as she pulled her hair down. She began trembling with nothing more to do but wait. She hoped her name hadn't been called before, since she was running a little behind, but after studying the tables, the relaxed. Seeing her sister hadn't been called there was hope. She took the place of one being called up as she now watched easily, watching the hat closely as it was seated back upon the stool. "Cara Vector" Was announced as her heart lept as she froze a moment, forcing her step forward as she slowly advanced. She calmly reached out her arms cautiously, picking up the hat, placing it on her head as she turned. Giving a small jump to get up upon in, the hat slipped, and she replaced it with her quick reflexes. She sat up straight, holding the stool with her hands as her eyes darted around, the slight tickle of the hat being felt. Deep in thought, she began talking to herself. Mr. Hat sir.. Sorting Hat? Umm... if it isn't to much trouble, all I ask is that I' not placed in Hufflepuff. She said directly as her thoughts wondered off Ravenclaw...I don't know... I just hope you pick the right one sir Not able to easily talk of her real reasons, all she could do was cross her fingers as she drew a deep breath and closed her eyes gently. She tried to narrow then down but couldn't decide between the remaining two... Slytherin or Gryffindor ((OOC: I sent my form yesterday)) ...and! Seventy-seven bottles of butterbeer on the wall, seventy-seven bottles of... Ah! Sorry dear, I was just thinking of the old days. Let's figure out where to put you, right? I see alot of potential in you, a great mind, a love of the outdoors, and a gentle nature. I think you'll sparkle like a, well I was going to say glass eye, but that doesn't sound to flattering, so let's put this diamond in... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Ben Kennedy Jan 5 2004, 03:32 PM |
| Ben stood in line with the other unsorteds, only a few of which he knew. It struck him then just how antisocial he’d been. Oh well. Maybe after he’d been sorted he could make some friends in his house. He caught Rory looking at him from her spot and smiled at her warmly, giving her a lame, yet reassuring thumbs-up. She pointed toward a table. He followed her finger to the Ravenclaw table, where Andie was making faces at them and holding up a sign that said “Ben for Prez.” He had barely finished rolling his eyes when the hat shouted, “Kennedy, Benjamin!” ((okay 3rd time's the charm, right? let's hope the form went through this time ))Lighting people on fire has been a dream of minme since... um, well nevermind. Let's see, what do we have here... I see bravery, chivalry, and a love of sports. I think you'll make a wonderful asset to... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Celeste Alcore Jan 5 2004, 03:48 PM |
| *Celeste enters the Great Hall, eyes wide at the very sight of it. She walks too fast, and very nervous, to get into line with the rest of the first years. Suddenly her name is called. She can feel her heart beating faster and faster as she makes her way up to the stool. She sits down and as the old hat is put on her head she wonders just how red her face is* Oh, I like you. You have a good head on your shoulders, and to a hat like me, that's important. Although I don't agree with your thoughts that I'm "old" I like to say that I'm pleasantly, er... aged. But you just want to know where you'll be sleepoing tonight, don't you? I think you'll thrive in the hallowed halls of ... RAVENCLAW! |

Finally she hears the name she's been waiting for, yet deep down being afraid to hear* Wakefield, Lily Lily gulps but walks up and pulls the sorting hat on her head. *Crosses finger* Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, please, Gryffindor or Ravenclaw... MY GOODNESS! You are FULL of ENERGY, aren't you? Well, the best place for that kind of energy is on the pitch, and there's one House that will definitely take you there... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Sinovia Cortes Jan 5 2004, 04:52 PM |
| Standing among the others it was getting a little nerve wracking. Bobby...Gryffindor, thought so. Skyler Gryffindor...thought so too... "Cortes, Sinovia!" Can't they do this in alphabetical order? Really scares you when your name's called out... Sitting on the stool with the hat covering her eyes she listened for the long awaited answer. You come from a family of healers and even consider becoming a healer yourself. You are lucky to have grown up in such a happy family, but you do seem mildly misguided. Anyway, I think that HUFFLEPUFF will set you straight. |
| Posted by: Silverdawn Kadamon Jan 5 2004, 04:58 PM |
| She ought to be scared, yet surprisingly, she wasn't. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that she was currently surrounded by new friends whom she had made from their trip over to Hogwarts, or perhaps it had to do with the words Rysa had said earlier on... The sorting hat is just that... A hat. There's nothing to fear for. Eyes wandering over to where the affamed sorting hat of Hogwarts was sorting yet another student - a muggleborn this time, Silverdawn inwardly chuckled at the surprised look evident of that student's face. Apparently, despite being a witch, she still hadn't met, or seen, any of the magical objects that Hogwarts had in plenty. Soon, the hat rang 'Gryffindor', and the next name was bellowed admidst the chatter amongst students, both sorted and unsorteds alike. "Kadamon, Silverdawn." Receiving a pat of reassurance from her raven-haired friend, Dusky, Silverdawn walked over to the dais, eyes briefly catching the encouraging ones of her godmother before sitting down on the stool. Seconds later, an unfamiliar voice reached her mind as the hat was placed unto her head, and she thought briefly to whatever house she might be in. It doesn't matter, anyway. The silvan-haired girl thought idly, Each house has their traits, and I highly doubt that mother or father would reprimand me if I do not enter Slytherin. Then, thinking back to the House of the roaring Gryffin, she winced slightly. It still goes back to square one, doesn't it? Sorting Hat, try not to place me in Gryffindor please? I don't think I'll survive one day in there. You're a calm and friendly little girl with great views on life. Your hard childhood taught you to value the small things greatly, and your personality reflects that. You will fit very well into HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Noelle MacPeak Jan 5 2004, 05:00 PM |
| Noelle followed the other first years into the Great Hall, twirling her strawberry-blonde pigtails excitedly. Her blue eyes grew wide as they fell on everything within her line of vision. She gasped as she saw candles floating in midair, and looked up at the ceiling. To her very great surprise, the ceiling seemed to be replaced with the night sky, complete with stars and a moon, and everything. This must be what they meant in Hogwarts, A History when they said the ceiling was bewitched to look like the sky outside! She thought excitedly. Even out of all her interesting school books, Hogwarts, A History had been Noelle's absolute favorite. It had told her all she needed to know about her new school, and answered most of her questions about the magical world. A distant name being called shook Noelle from her thoughts. She looked up and her eyes fell on a pair of rather nasty looking twin girls. I hope I'm not in a House with them.... She thought desperately. Noelle had read a bit about the Houses in Hogwarts, A History, as well as hearing a bit about them on the train. Noelle hoped to be in Gryffindor ... it sounded like just the house for her, and she guessed that the students in it would enjoy exploring and going on adventures, just like her. And she was extremely eager to start exploring her new school. However, Ravenclaw didn't sound that bad, and she supposed she could put up with Hufflepuff ... just as long as she wasn't in Slytherin.... Suddenly, Noelle jumped as she heard, "MacPeak, Noelle!" echoing over the chatter in the Great Hall. As she scrambled up to the front where the Sorting Hat was sitting on a stool, she had a flashback of when she had first recieved her Hogwarts letter. ..... Dear Miss MacPeak, We are pleased to inform you that you've been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Noelle gasped and the letter fell out of her hands. "MUM!" She shouted, racing out of the kitchen to find her mother, who had gone to water the plants while the cookies were baking. "Mum! Look!" She excitedly stuffed the letter into her mothers hands and watched as her mother gasped in shock upon reading the first line, just as she had. "Do you think it's true?" She asked excitedly before gasping again, "Mum! This must be why I sent light or whatever it was at that bear that time, and it froze so Blake and I could escape.... Mum, it's true! It's really true! I'm a witch!" ..... Noelle then remembered jumping up and down on her bed for what seemed like hours, and continued her walk to the front of the Hall. Once she was there, she on the stool and waited while the Hat was placed upon her head. It fell down past her eyes, blocking the other students from view. She clutched the edge of the stool with her small hands and waited.... Quite the clever one we have here, don't we? You remind me of someone I sorted roughly fifteen years ago. She was a lot like you, and I see no reason why you shouldn't do just as well as she did in the house that I put her in. You too shall be in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Michele Jan 5 2004, 05:01 PM |
| Michele stood with the other unsorteds and nervously wathced as the line grew shorter. "Will I ever get up there?" she thought to herself. She glanced over at the Gryffindor table, the table she hoped she would soon be sitting at. "PALSA, MICHELE" Michele slowly walked up to the stool and gingerly placed the ragged old hat on her head. 'Please....... pleasepleaseplease don't put me in Slytherin' she begged the hat. ((just submitted my form today ))You're a witty one! Tell me, did you really try to bring an entire library with you? Never fear, Hogwarts has an extensive library where you will be able to quench your thirst for knowledge quite thoroughly. Books hold the answers to many questions, and someone as quick-witted as you will have no problems finding them. You'll do splendidly in RAVENCLAW! ((Just wondering when the banners will be changed from 'unsorted' to our house names. Thanks!! )) |
| Posted by: Kimurha Shacklebolt Jan 5 2004, 05:11 PM |
| Ali milled about with the other first years, noting the cheers sent up by tables when another student was added to their numbers. Glancing around, Jen caught her eye, winking as she cheered for the newest Ravenclaw. Well, it was nice to know she had a friend in authority, Kim laughed silently, before turning back just as, "Shacklebolt, Kimurha" was called out. She sat on the stool, took one last look at the Hall as an unsorted student, and put the Hat on her head. Funny, active, but above all you seem to notice every detail. A person with your dedication could only be placed in Slytherin.... Wait. I mean RAVENCLAW! Kim sighed with relief as she took off the hat, glad to know at least one person in her house already. She was caught off gaurd a little by Jen's sweeping hug, but soon settled into her place. If the Hat thought this was the best place for her to succeed, so be it. She would succeed, and have fun doing it. |
| Posted by: ErinaBlack Jan 5 2004, 05:57 PM |
| *Erina Black walks into the Great Hall. Her and all of the other 1st years stare worriedly at the patched and frayed old hat. What kind of thing did they have to do with it? She doubted that she would be placed into Gryffindor. She wasn't brave at all. She thought that most likely she would be place into Slytherin like the rest of her pureblooded family. Everything she owned was either green or silver. There family crest was the name Black with a sterling silver snake. She also had a thirst to prove her self and was incredibly determined. She had a smart mind so she also wondered about Ravenclaw. Her parents wouldn't care about what house she was put into. They were just proud that she had made it here. Hufflepuff would be fine. The thing she honored most in friendships was loyalty, and that seemed to be a strong point for Hufflepuffs.* "Black, Erina" yelled the Sorting Hat. *She stumbled nervously towrds the hat. She took the hat and placed upon her golden blonde hair and waited for the hat to tell her where she truely belonged.* You're a friendly and enthusiastic one and have a rough idea where I'm about to put you. You're not material for the serpents, and your home cannot be the lion's den either. That's a very clever and maybe even slightly stubborn head that you have there. You're looking forward to learning magic, like reading and writing and above all debating. That's all I need to be sure to put you into RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Felicity Arrow Jan 5 2004, 05:59 PM |
| Felicity was really nervous. Her fingers were in her robe pockets and she was biting her tongue. Wish they would call my name already... she thought. Maybe I should sing a song... "We're having ravioli...from Chef Boyardi..." "ARROW, FELICITY!" "Sweet!" Felicity said alloud. She ran up to the stool and sat on it. "SORT ME BABE!" ((I swear Fox gave me permission to have this name...)) ANOTHER Arrow? How many of you are still to come? Better start a tradition, just in case... My how obvious it is your aim to be in Ravenclaw. That's quite something for a girl of a mere 11 years. Maybe this intellectual environment will keep you from wishing to mutilate your body at such a young age already. Off you go into RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Kerr Paxton Jan 5 2004, 06:13 PM |
| Kerr had been jostled into the Great Hall along with all the other first years. He was scared as hell, he hated the first time doing anything. The second and first times were always better since you knew what to expect. He shivered but not from cold. He watched other students as they made their way up to the stool and had their house called out. He looked at the house tables cheering each time a member was added to their group. He didn't care which house he got into, what he was worried about that moment was not making a fool of himself by say, tripping over his laces before he got up to the hat. Finally, he heard his name bellowed though the room. "Paxton, Kerr!" He shakily made his way up to the talking/singing hat and closed his eyes when the hat was placed on his head. Hm..you enjoy wizards chess. Takes real strategy to play that game. You seem to be handy with a quill. You write frequently, all admirable traits. Ancient Runes, eh? Daily Prophet writer? Very wise and smart, determined. I believe there is no other choice but, RAVENCLAW! Kerr got up unsteadily and made his way to the Ravenclaw table. Ravenclaw.. Ravenclaw.... oh there's going to be expectatations now... On the bright side however, he made it to the table without stumbling once. |
| Posted by: Cavallo_Vixen Jan 5 2004, 06:16 PM |
| *Cavallo_Vixen walked nervously into the Great Hall, fumbling with something in the pocket of her robes. A muffled squeak came from withen her robes adn she withdrew her hand, talking to her pet hedgehog, "Sh, Punto, just keep quiet until I'm sorted, then you can squeak all you'd like. Perhaps I'll take you outside for a run in the grass afterwards, if you behave." She normally wouldn't scold her dear hedgehog, but being nervous she wasn't acting normal. She sat upon the three-legged stool as she was instructed and picked up the hat, inspecting it. She wondered how a hat could decide what house she was going to be in. 'It's got to be magical, like everything else around here' sht thought, placing the hat on her head. 'Hello? Um... Mr. Hat, it would be most appreciated if I wasn't in Hufflepuff, if that's okay. Not that ther's anything wrong with Hufflepuff, it's just that I don't think it would suit me' she thought, wondering what the hat would do... You love to draw, write and learn and you wish to excell in Arithmancy and Transfiguration. Yes, I can tell that you have a very intelligent head on your shoulders, and I believe that Rowena would take very kindly to you. This one better be RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: James J Jan 5 2004, 06:25 PM |
| James looked around at the other people waiting in line to be sorted. They all looked very nervous, and a lot of them were going on about upholding the family honor. He was glad he didn't have any expectation to live up to, because he really didn't care what house he was placed into. "Johansen, James!" He took a quick look around and walked over to the stool. Then, taking his time, he sat down on the stool, placed the hat on his head, and waited for the big decision. Very interesting, you are. I see ambition in you, but no no, more bravery and outgoing characteristics. You wish to be a dragon trainer when you graduate? That takes skill. So, I find that you'll have a great time in...GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Whit3wml Jan 5 2004, 06:31 PM |
| Whitney Lyons walks up to the stool and jams the hat eagerly on her head. As the hat dropped over her eyes she takes in a slight gasp. She was now staring at the inside of the hat waiting patiently. She breathed in slightly waiting for the hat to tell her. Waiting for the world to hear what she was. She was so excited she could barley sit on the stool out of anticipation... Now let me see. Yes, you are the life of the party and I do see you love sports. Wouldn't run away from Peeve's, eh? And I see you like to explore. Well I have a house for you GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: beautiful_luna07 Jan 5 2004, 07:06 PM |
| As I walked into the Great Hall, my legs trembled with excitement and nervousness. I looked around the hall, studying the details, trying to keep my mind off of the event that ly ahead. I immediately noticed the enchanted cieling! It was deep black, with a few brightly lit stars. Remembering the sky as I saw it outside, I deduced that it must follow the same weather patterns as the real sky. A tall stern looking lady appeared ahead of us. "Come along, first years... form a line at the front," she directed us. This was it.. I told myself. This would determine my "family" for seven years. I really hope I'm put in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor... I thought silently. An ancient looking hat was placed upon a three legged stool, and then broke out in song. Listening to the song, I realized that this couldn't be too bad.. all we had to do was put the hat on. Wow... And the sorting began. I watched about 6 or 7 ppl be sorted into various houses.. and then it was MY turn... "Cinders, Leah" The strict lady called. side note from the hat: You requested something in your sorting form, and I assure you that someone will be contacting you about it in the next few days. Thanks.You're an adorably bubbly one. You're quite clever too. And a bit adventurous. Oh there is so much kindness in you, so many character traits that would fit any house, except Slytherin that is. It's so hard to decide where you should go as you're a nicely balanced young girl even at your young age. Calm, sensible and always willing to help... As much as you'd like Gryffindor or Ravenclaw... I've given it some very good thought. You'll do best in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Brynna Jan 5 2004, 07:15 PM |
| Brynna stood in line, waiting for her name to be called. The knot in her stomach was growing larger as the last names made it through M, N, O... finally- "Pokarney, Brynna!" was called by Professor McGonagall. She made her way up to the stool, and gingerly sat down, her heart beating wildly as she glanced around the hall. Please, please, let me be in the right house! she thought as she placed the hat on her head. Please let me make friends, let people like me... Hello, dear! Not too big on rules, are you? Yes, breaking them can be quite the fun thing to do for as long as nobody gets hurt. But I'm sure you know that. I can also see that you're braver under the surface than you let on. And there is a tiny bit of a temper too. A girl as little as you shouldn't even think any four-letter words, dearest. Hehe. Oh well, I'm babbling, aren't I? GRYFFINDOR! |

| As the students filled into the hall near the end of the line there was a girl she looked rather small. She had dark brown hair with blonde highlights her eyes were bright golden color. As she was walking up with the rest of the students she was staring up at the ceiling and suddenly trip and fell flat on her face. Everything seemed to stop and the hall broke out into a laugh. A person from one of the tables got up to help her up. She said thanks and contuned with the rest of the first years. She didn't really cared that she tripped she was busy thinking about the miscief that she could get into with her new friends. Once they got to the front of the hall one of the teachers brought up a stool with a tattered looking hat on it. 'hmm i wonder why everybody so nervous its just a hat' she rolled her eyes. After the hat sang its song she kindof went back to wondering what she would do this year. "Wellington, Jordan" the teacher yelled. 'Well here it goes' the small girl walks up and puts on the hat smiling and feeling very confident then her last thougt before that hat started to talk 'i wonder what house I'll be in. You seem like a very enthusiastic one. Another little mischivous rule-breaker, eh? Well, I know just what to do with you... GRYFFINDOR! |

| Samantha Williams sat nervously until she heard her named called. SHe walked up to the chair and gently lifted the hat and put the hat on her head. SHe kept thinking " Gryffindor Gryffindor Gryffindor Gryffindor please?" Ah, we have someone who is not afraid to toil here, right? You're a lovely one, dear. How lucky you are to have had such a peaceful childhood. Girls as adorable and kind as you are must go into HUFFLEPUFF! |

| *Libby stepped off the train, her new black robes on and shoulder length blonde hair blowing slightly in the wind. A comforting voice was calling all the First Years to gather over by him. She followed the crowd of First Years and stepped into a boat with several other kids to get rowed across the lake.* *Upon reaching the castle, she waited with all the other First Years as they received instructions of what to do. She chatted anxiously with some of the girls around her until she was first in line.* "Pruitt, Libby!" a Professor called her name. Smiling at her chance to be sorted, Libby stepped up and sat down on the stool. Please Gryffindor...Please Gryffindor...Anything but Slytherin, but Gryffindor, please! she thought desperatley as the hat was placed on her head... Hello, little girl with the clever head! Yes, I do think you're quite the smart and studious one. You're also very perceptive and pay attention to details. You seem to soak up information like a sponge and are ready to put what you've learnt to some use whenever needed. That's perfect for RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Kragey Mitchell Jan 5 2004, 07:54 PM |
| "MITCHELL, KRAGEY!" shouted a voice. Kragey blinked, then tightened her scarf around her neck and made her way towards the front of the Hall. Someone had actually pronounced her name right, and she grinned...then tripped right over Chach's foot. The unsorted giggled and stuck her tongue out at the Gryffindor. The hat had been perched on the edge of the stool rather obscurely, so she turned it to find its "face" and perched it on her head. Good evening, Mr. Hat! Kragey thought to the hat cheerily. Please try to put me somewhere with a pretty scarf. You're one for a battle of wits, my dear? Well, you couldn't beat the good old Sorting Hat in such a battle as I have the brains of four great people! Your sense of humour would do a Slytherin proud, but you're just a tad too bubbly for it. This is a truly difficult decision to be made but... your quick wit just screams RAVENCLAW! (PS. we apologize for the ugliness of bronze. lol.) |
| Posted by: Liliya K. Zane Jan 5 2004, 09:06 PM |
| Liliya Zane was standing in line with all of the other first year waiting for her turn to be sorted. They had explained that the sorting hat would sort them into a house according to their personality. It sounded very unorthadox but she supposed that in the wizarding world it was quite normal. From what she had heard of the four houses she like them all. Although she didn't really think that she would be a good fit for Gryffindor she didn't want to be some sort of hero, and she prefered to think things through then rushing straight into them. After most of the other first years were sorted Liliya finally heard: "Zane Liliya." Liliya walked up to the stool trying to look slightly confident, but she was afraid that it wasn't working at all. She picked up the hat and sat down. She slowly lowered it onto her head while under the eyes of all of the Great Hall. You're quite mature for your age, little one. Your thoughts and opinions indicate a high intellect in you. Coupled with your enthusiasm for studying and the desire to learn new things, it will help you do splendidly in RAVENCLAW! |

| I was waiting for the professor to call my name. Then, finally she did. My heart was pounding. . I sat down and herd the sorting hat speaking to me. I was thinking "Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!Please, Ravenclaw!" I felt sick. I was so scared. Full of kindness, yet a bit afraid. Ravenclaw is what you want, yet I feel your heart would be better off somewhere different. Somewhere full of love and understanding. A house which will embrace you as their own family with open arms. This one ought to be HUFFLEPUFF! |

| "Magsley, Janet!" I hear my name called, and taking a deep breath, I make my way amidst the other anxious first years. Sitting upon the wooden stool, the Sorting Hat is placed upon my head, and I bite my bottom lip nervously. "I do not know where I should belong, Sorting Hat, so please use your wisdom to decide where I should go." I whisper. Intelligent, yes... But, my dear, sometimes it takes more than a good brain to seize opportunities and attain greatness. I have a feeling that you know what I speak of. You are not cruel or vindictive by any means, but such ambition and cunning shall always belong to SLYTHERIN! You will do the house proud. |

| "Samantha Lee" was called and she walked up slowly and nervously. She gently put the hat on and kept thinking "gryffindor please gryffindor please?" Ah, we have someone who is not afraid to toil here, right? You're a lovely one, dear. How lucky you are to have had such a peaceful childhood. Gryffindor is what you want? They would be far too reckless for someone like you. Girls as adorable and kind as you are must go into HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Hallie Dove Jan 5 2004, 11:18 PM |
| (( Ok, I fixed it, now I'm going under Hallie Dove.)) I starred at the hat, a bit curious how it worked and made.. Then, I suddenly heard a voice say: "Dove, Hallie." Calmly and not afraid of what the out come would be, I walked up to the stool and sat down. Then the hat was placed on my head. 'It's just another adventure,' I told myself. Oh, an auror for a father? A noble profession, that. You've got a thoughtful side to you, but I believe that all of that energy and can-do attitude would be best put to use in GRYFFINDOR! ((Thank you, hun. I'm glad you understood)) |
| Posted by: Lenora Candlewick Jan 5 2004, 11:46 PM |
The old but ever majestic doors to the Great Hall opened, making each young first year's eyes wide. To Lenora Candlewick it was not only powerfully beautiful, it was...home. It was as if she herself had opened those doors many a time, somehow. Every head in the hall was turned to wide threshold, awaiting the Sorting to begin. Thoughts shot like perilous arrows through Lenora's head, emotions through her heart. She and the other students were then escorted towards the front, as the rather ancient hat began to sing. To others, it might have been just a song, but Lenora listened intently to it's every word. "I have been given this glorious gift to learn, to become one in this amazing world, and I intend to use it", Lenora thought all the while as she took it all in. In fact, she almost didn't hear her name...she was in a dream, at least it felt that way. Once as her name was called, just as the others she went up, sitting upon the chair to be sorted. One thing was different though. While some others shook, she somehow held steady. While some others looked down, she somehow looked straight ahead, ready for anything. Just as the hat was being placed on her head, she started thinking. "I'm here. Maybe now it's really just starting to hit me. New adventures, new friends, new things to learn. It's all so new..but I still feel the same as when I first went through those doors....home."  [QUOTE]Just as in life, even a rose's thorns help it grow-Lenora CandlewickMs. Candlewick, your love of books and all things learning would seem to anyone else like you are the braniac type. I, however, know better. You show no fear in the face of potential danger. You crave adventure and excitement. Yes, my dear, in your heart of hearts, I seeGRYFFINDOR! |

| "Remy Consiuer." The shouting of his name thundered in his ears. This was the beginning of his future. This was the time to discover exactly who he was. He started walking toward the stool where the Sorting Hat was placed. His footsteps thundered in his head almost as loudly as his name being called. He could feel the eyes of the crowd upon him, studying his every move. It was almost unbearable for him, but he sat down in his throne of crucifixion, awaiting the crown of thorns to be placed upon his head. You'd prefer an intellectual challenge over an adventure any time, dear boy. Yes, I do see a great thirst for learning in you. You're quite ambitious and follow the path you have chosen by studying whatever you need to go there. What you consider light reading is a heavy tome for everybody else. There's a place where you will find people likewise inclined. RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Obsidian Cailoes Longshaw Jan 6 2004, 01:50 AM |
| ((to the sorting hat: I filled out the sorting form as Obsidian Caloes Longshaw, but due to some difficulties, I reregistered and am now Obsidian Cailos Longshaw. The email is still the same, of course. If that shall help any... )) With every name being called, Obsidian grew more aprehensive. It wasn't that she was nervous, no, she never got nervous, or even scared. Pushing towards the front of the unsorteds, she was just in time to hear her name. " Longshaw, Obsidian " Everybody turned to her, polite clapping coming from each table. Walking up to the stool, she took in the site of the dingy old hat. 'I've got to where...that? ' she thought. Looking at the hat in disgust, she realized that mudbloods had put this hat on and cautiously put the hat over her head. Adding to her dismay, the hat dropped over her eyes and slightly below her nose. 'Slytherin, please Slytherin. I am born into the Pure-blood name Longshaw. Hat, I order you to put meinto Slytherin.' She thought to herself, more calmly than anything. 'Of course I'll get into Slytherin. How many mudbloods do you see there?' She sat there, smirking confidently. Then the hat began to speak...... Now why so aggressive, dear? It's absolutely unnecessary to be like that when you possess such an abundance of ambition. Such arrogance in an 11-year-old I haven't seen since I sorted a certain Draco Malfoy! I'm tempted to put you in a house that will even out your lack of manners a bit, but I do think that the serpents will manage this quite well too. They'll teach you that you can achieve a lot more when your clever head is joined by a bit of diplomacy. You shall go to SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Raven Skye Jan 6 2004, 02:52 AM |
| Mr Sorting Hat, I didn't get sorted last time, so I repost this. Walking alone behind the crowd of fellow overly-peppy new students, Raven found a seat at one of the long tables. She awaited her name being called, Raven. Like her personality- dark. Finally, it was. "Skye, Raven!" She smirked and walked up to the sorting hat boredly and sat down full of confidence. She glared at anyone who dared to look at her the wrong way, and felt the hat be placed on her head. Dear child, you've been deprived of so much in your eleven years of life that it pains me. This has resulted in you being cold and cruel on the outside. But this is just the suit of armour under which you're hiding your vulnerable soul. You need kindness and friendly people around you, people who will show you that there is more to life than what you had to go through in your emotionless and cold family. HUFFLEPUFF will make you happy. |
| Posted by: Lela DeLavelle Jan 6 2004, 02:57 AM |
| *Wow, I can't believe this is happening! I am starting school at Hogwarts!* "DeLavelle, Lela" Snapping out of my train of thought I suddenly became very nervous. *Oh my, is it my turn already, guess I should start walking...* But my legs wouldn' seem to move. I started to get really scared. "DeLavelle, Lela?" I heard called again, for the second time. I was shaking by now, finally i started walking and came up to the front where the infamous Hat was waiting. *Oh my that hat is very dirty, someone should wash it...Wait, what am I thinking?! It's the Sorting hat!* I sat down on the stool, and the hat was lowered down on my head. It was so big my whole head and neck ended up inside the hat. Moments later I heard a voice.... You're a very artistically-inclined little girl, yet you like to play, just like a normal child. There are few like you these days. Happy children are needed in every house. With a family background as stable as yours and your love for exploring and learning new things, you will be a little star among all the students in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Aracely Cortez Jan 6 2004, 04:19 AM |
| Aracely Cortez stands her face completely emotionless as she feels not a bit of nervousness while she waits to be sorted. It was the day she had always dreamed about, ever since her father had started telling her of his days in school. She just hoped to be able to live up to his expectations of her and standards, although she always had she figured it would be a bit more challenging to do so now that she would be away from her family. Twirling her hair through her fingers as she waited she glanced around not really paying much attention to anything when a loud voice called out her name shaking her from her daydreams. Cortez, Aracely Tossing her hair over her shoulder she confidently walked up to the stool and took a seat while they placed the hat on her head, she just hoped it didn't mess her hair up too much. Even though you're still such a young child, you have rather firm beliefs already in that you are different from others and decide to not join in organised activities. This makes you somewhat of a rebel, but you're not reckless enough to break any rules just because. No, you're much too sly for open rule-breaking. A mind as devious as yours will do SLYTHERIN proud. |
| Posted by: Katrina Redding Jan 6 2004, 04:25 AM |
| Katrina sat confidently in the Great Hall. She watched as other new students walked up and sat down on the stool; getting sorted. She smirked at some of the students as they walked by. Katrina knew where she belonged and had every ounce of faith that she would be placed there. When she heard "Redding, Katrina", she stood, tossed her blonde hair over her narrow shoulder and walked up to the front of the room. She looked out over the sea of faces and narrowed her eyes. The hat was placed on her head and said.... Hello, dear, my I do like your practical way of thinking and that you're not as prejudiced and cold as I expected when I looked into your ancestry. You're a little girl with good manners really, very polite too, even when you're slightly annoyed. That is much valued in every house. But your ambition and cunning will make you a most valuable asset for SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: KeldenRobert Jan 6 2004, 05:29 AM |
| Robert Kelden stood wearilly at the back of the group, hoping not to be spotted. He didn't much enjoy being the center of anyone's attention. His hopes were flatened however, when his name was called. "Kelden, Robert!" Lowering his head, Robert quickly and quitely strode out of the group of unsorteds. As he approached the sorting hat he reluctantly turned to face the school, his head still low and his eyes on his shoes. He placed the hat over his head in fear of its answer, fully awair that the entire school was looking at him this moment. He gave one final prayer, before the hat would begin to speak. "Please let me get Ravenclaw, but I promise not to jump into the lake if you don't send me to Slytherin." Now here's a clever head! Yes, indeed, you're very smart, probably smarter than you think you are even! You have no need to be so shy. With a bit of encouragement and guidance from older students you will make a lot of friends, maybe mostly in your house... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Lola Giviannia Jan 6 2004, 09:40 AM |
| Lola took a deep breath and looked to the celing, reciting the alaphabet hoping that she would not be up soon. Giviannia, Lola 'Great!' Lola sighed as she cursed the alphabet. She sat on the stool, hopefully not getting hat hair, it takes ages to get her shoulder lenght black hair and green streak just the way she likes them. She didn't care at this moment. If you put me into hufflepuff I won't get you a date with my mum's beret. She hoped she could make him laugh and make it put her in slytherin. A date with a lovely beret? How tempting. I haven't had such a thing since the day that Helga and Rowena sewed me together! No, you're not a Hufflepuff anyway. Hmm... Let's see... You seem familiar... I remember you! Why are you here again? I already sorted you quite some time ago. It's still SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Mint Ishtar Jan 6 2004, 02:01 PM |
| Mint waited for her name to be called, and when it was she walked up and put the sorting hat on. She closed her eyes and thought 'Sort me where you may, it matters not'. I see some high ambitions in you, my dear. You'd like to please your father by following in his footsteps. This will require a lot of studying on your part, and boy do you have the brains for it! Only RAVENCLAW can provide the atmosphere that you need to reach your goals. |
| Posted by: Babette Jan 6 2004, 03:08 PM |
| Babette stood trembling in the great hall, waiting for her turn to be sorted. She was at a loss here without her brothers and sisters telling her what to do. They *always* made sure she went to the right place and did the right thing. "Jones, Babette." What if she did something wrong, then all the other kids would laugh at her! "Jones, Babette," a little louder this time. Babette started realizing she had been called twice now. She blushed furiously, certain everyone thought she was a bit slow. She hurried over to the stool and plopped the hat on her head. She knew nothing of the houses or what they stood for, but she thought the name Hufflepuff sounded nice. There was a pretty girl on the train who had been sorted to Hufflepuff.... Aww, now don't be too homesick! Your housemates will take good care of you. You'll have a bunch of good friends in no time friendly and sensible as you are. Having grown up in a large family you know what is important in life, and you value even the smallest things greatly. The best place for you is HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: spoon Jan 6 2004, 04:00 PM |
| spoon was trying to work out if he was next but before he could realise it his name had been called out. Spoon slowly stood up as he heard his name being called out, he was very nervous as he sat in the hot seat, all he could do was wait You're quite sensible in that you try and avoid getting involved in arguments when they're getting too bad. It's a nice character trait to first think of calming everything down and help solve the issue. You like playing games and have no outstanding interests. All in all you're the average 11-year-old boy. HUFFLEPUFF welcomes you! |

| *Maddie steps off the train and is ushered into a boat by a huge, scruffy man. Smiling to herself and making a mental note to get to know him, she is one of the first in the boats which are rowed across the lake. A chilly wind whips across the water, and shivering, she pulls her robes tighter around her body as her shoulder length dirty blonde hair blows in the wind. Upon reaching the castle, she and the group of other First Years were led into the Great Hall. Mesmerized, she watched the celing as she walked - it reflected the nights sky! Figuring that it was probably bewitched to look like it did, she caught up with the group of First Years that were receiving instructions from a Professor. Anxiously, she waited in line for her name to be called.* "Parker, Madelyn," Professor McGonagall called her name. Stepping up onto the stage and sitting on the stool, Maddie wished with all her might to be put in Gryffindor. Mr. Sorting Hat, she thought once the lumpy, brown hat was upon her head, if its not too much trouble could you please not put me in Slytherin? I want to fight evil, not be a part of it! I'd really like Gryffindor if you could please put me in that house... Ah, you sure know where you belong! You're quite the brave one I must say. Just don't fall into the trap of overestimating your own strength, eh? Little ones as courageous as you tend to bite off more than they can chew. With such a great golden heart, always ready to stand up for your beliefs, you're sure to end up in GRYFFINDOR!! |

| After arriving at Hogwarts Jaguar kepted a low pro-file. He walked in front of the big gold doors and took one deep breath and walked through he took a seat and waited to be called up from Albus Dumbeldore. Jaguar has always wanted to be in Ravenclaw or Hufflepoof any of the two would be o.k for him "Melburn,Jaguar please step forward"said Dumbeldore. The hat was placed on top of he`s head and Jaguar kept on repeating to himself Ravenclaw,,,,,,Hufflepoof. Quite the sensible one you are, my dear. You know when to be the mediator, you also know when to run away. You seem a bit insecure too. Never fear! An entire house of friendly and helpful people awaits you. HUFFLEPUFF! |

| Riley Murphy stepped into the Great Hall and looked around at all the people. She looked up and saw an old hat and then hoped that her name would be called last. Riley didn't want to have to sit there in front of the whole school. "Murphy, Riley" a voice yelled. Riley looked up and walked up sitting on the stool muttering"Not Slytherin, please" Hmm... difficult. I see a lot of ambition in you. The thirst for knowledge is also clearly visible. But you're quite the temperamental and adventurous one also. I think all in all GRYFFINDOR will be the right place for you. |
| Posted by: Tom Jan 6 2004, 04:55 PM |
| "tom" Tom was so nervous as he looked at the rest of the school. there must have been at least 1000 people in the room. He steped up, sat on the stool and placed the hat on his head. The hat began to talk..... You're somewhat passive, more of a follower. You like to tag along with your friends. This indicates a great deal of shyness. You need to be surrounded by gentle people who can help you open up a bit. HUFFLEPUFF is where you go! |
| Posted by: Scotty_Benn Jan 6 2004, 05:18 PM |
| He walked in, and looked around. so far he had only met one other student, Katie, and that didn't really count, since he had known her since they were five He gulped nervously as his name was called, anxious to see what house he was in. He walked up to the stool and sat down, feeling the hat plopped down on her head. Oh, now here's someone who likes to be in the spotlight! Even though you're still a very young child, you've joined a band and even manage playing the guitar fairly well already. That shows some ambition. But you're more of a prankster than anything else. Unafraid of conflict and generally courageous, you'll do great in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: o0true0o Jan 6 2004, 05:21 PM |
True sat lost in her thoughts, she wondered what house she would be sorted into. Gryffindor, well maybe, she couldn't see herself running to face You-know-Who, but she'd risk anything to help a friend, and she was up for an adventure. Or perhaps Ravenclaw, she's always been an strong student. Slytherin, no way, she's not a pure blood, and she doesn't think she's very cunning.  Hufflepuf was possible, she is loyal.She hoped for Gryffindor or maybe Ravenclaw... True jumped as the sorting hat called her name,  and walked to the stage, hoping not to trip. She placed the old hat on her head.You value fairness a great deal and stand up for people who are weaker than yourself. A noble character trait that Godric values greatly. You shall go to GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Aurelia Scarlett Jan 6 2004, 07:59 PM |
| Aurelia looked around at the long tables filled with students all staring intently at their rapidly decreasing group. She watched as many of her fellow first years were sorted into their houses leaving less and less of them standing in the centre under the watchfull eyes of all in the hall. From the cheers when a student was sorted, Aurelia had figured out which table was the Gryffindor one and hoped with all her might that was where she was headed. Both her father and mother had come from that house and all the things she had been told about it seemed so wonderful. Also her father went on to become an Auror and she hoped to follow in his footsteps. She kept her fingers crossed while she waited her turn to put on the sorting hat. "Scarlett, Aurelia" Her name was called and nervously she stepped up and sat down on the stool. She closed her eyes as the hat was placed over her head. Please Gryffindor, please Gryffindor, please Gryffindor . . . the thought cycled through her mind as she waited for its decision. You're very ambitious, my dear little girl. You also have a slight thing for power although you might not be conscious of this. But I, the good old Sorting Hat, can read between the lines very well. Even though you'd prefer Gryffindor, I'm afraid that you're just not noble and courageous enough. Your ambition will serve you best in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Devony Demora Jan 6 2004, 08:15 PM |
| Devony sat nervously in her seat next to her sister Gwen. Unconciously she played with her mother's old school ring which she wore on a chain around her neck. She was so nervous that she didn't hear the hat yell her name out to the Hall. Gwen had to nudge my side and his, "That's you Dev." Blushing, I jumped up and quickly made my way op to the hat, avoiding all eye contact. I sat down on the seat and, before I slipped the hat on, muttered a silent plae for Ravenclaw. I pulled the old hat on and waited. Seeing in your mind, one thing jumps out, very friendly you seem to be. A loyal heart deserves no other than the old house of HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: DracoisHott Jan 6 2004, 08:50 PM |
| Raven St.Clair made sure eye contact was never made with anyone as she nervously waited to hear her name. The professor called Raven's name, making her jump slightly. She walked towards the hat, stumbling on the way. She felt her face getting warm as she sat on the stool, the hat on her head, having all those eyes on her, and waiting to be sorted. She didn't know which house to be put in. Being muggle-born, she had never heard of these houses until today. "Please let me be put in a good house." she thought. She clenched her eyes closed, waiting to hear her house's name. Sweetheart, we still don't have your sorting form. Are you sure that you resubmitted it under the login that you're currently using? I'm sorry for any inconvienience. But we can't sort you until we get your form. - The Hat |

| As she looked around and saw all of the other students she thought when is it my turn? Just then she heard here name being called, as she made her way and sat on the stool she put on the hat Yes, yes... You are willing to try hard and see it through the end if it is something you really want.. With your warmth and heart you will surely do well in Hufflepuff where you will find the likes of you! |
| Posted by: Essence Jan 6 2004, 09:48 PM |
| Essence looked around at all the excited and anxious faces. Her stomach seemed to be tied in a tight knot- which was highly unusual. Essence, the girl whose personal motto was, "It's all good," was getting to be a nervous wreck. 'Hey, I can't go wrong with any house,' she thought. 'It's all good, you just keep telling yourself that. It's all --' "LaSiren, Essence" Putting on her most confident grin, she walked up to where the Sorting Hat was waiting. Why Ms LaSiren, in my day I too enjoyed 'chili peppers.' It is but one thing that you and I have in common. You have a rather open mind when it comes to muggles and muggleborns and you seem to be a well-rounded (if not rambunctious) little girl. While I see various traits of all four of the houses in you, one stands out in particular. You live on the edge, never afraid to take a risk if need be. Your love of life and spunky personality tell me all I need to know. This one goes to Gryffindor! |
| Posted by: Ivana Carre Jan 6 2004, 09:49 PM |
| Ivana walked into the Great Hall, seeing many faces that she recognized. She waved and smiled at the friends she had made since she first arrived at Hogwarts. She quickly got in line and waited for her name to be called. "Carre, Ivana!" She quickly stood up and walked up to the chair. She placed the tattered hat on her head and waited for it to make its decision..... Although you didn't have the perfect family, you have the intensity and the will to be true to yourself. You will surely follow your own path, never wavering in defending what you really value despite the rebellious exterior you posesses. Because of these I know you will suit the best in Gryffindor, where you will learn to treasure the honor of the courage to fight for what you want. |

| Josh Shadowfax stared in amazment at the gigantic great hall. He had never seen such an amazing room as this. He sat down and waited for his name. "Carre, Ivara!" "Desi, Jiggar!" The names flashed by. "Shadowfax, Josh" Nervously Josh walked up tpo the hat and donned it. He said to the hat" I really don't care what house i am in, so take your pick," and waited. Not a man of many words, you enjoy brain boggling games to sharpen your mind instead! You are calm and collected, and your brain will be the key to solving all problems. There is nowhere else you can belong, other than in Ravenclaw! |

| Ana stands patiently in line waiting for her name to be called. She primly brushes the dust and what appear to be a few cat hairs off of her robes during the wait. Then after what seems like forever Ana hears her unmistakeable name. Anastasia Nicolaievna Romanov Walking in her most dignified manner she approaches the stool where the sorting hat sits. She gingerly picks it up and places it on her head thinking all the while I promise to be nice to you mister hat, but please put me in the house I want. Then she waits to hear the decision of the sorting hat. Being a pampered aristocrat sounds lovely.. no more dirty hair, no more dusty shelves, no more silly songs... Not much ambition though, unless you count being rich and lazy. Lucky for you I do, so I'll put you in... SLYTHERIN! |

| Taylah chats animatedly with the other new students, showing off as always. She's excited, full of confidence as she steps up to the stool and sits down, smirking as the hat is placed on her head. You have a personality that screams for everyone to keep their distance and enjoy breaking every rule and tradition you can get your hands on. Someone who always needs to be in control of her life could only do well in....SLYTHERIN! (PS Just to let you know, if you break rules while your in slytherin, you'll get in plenty of trouble just the same as any other house. So lets not break the VH rules... savvy?) |
| Posted by: Jude Schofields Jan 7 2004, 09:35 AM |
| Jude watched with horror as each unsorted student traisped up to an old battered hat, which was clearly quite barmy, and tried it on, while it sat upon their head, umming and aahing and yelling out weird names. 'WHAT ABOUT PERSONAL HYGIENE!' he wanted to yell, 'Haven't these wizarding folk ever heard of head lice!' Looking quite horrified at the prospect of having to try on a hat which had most likely been worn by thousands of students (and who knew if they washed their hair frequently?), Jude started to edge towards the back of the crowd, hoping that maybe if he ran towards the doors of the Great Hall, he might be able to catch one of those funny boats back to the train station and call his mum to pick him up. 'Schofields, Jude!' He froze in place. 'Um, yes?' He raised his hand, 'Present...' 'Come up here young man, I haven't got all day to sort you children,' the Hat boomed at him. Jude turned and looked at the hat with a puzzled expression, 'But, you don't do anything all year, well that is what I heard anyways, so wouldn't you want to prolong the sorting for as long as possible?' An eerie silence followed Jude's comment. Then, 'Come up here boy before I come down and bite your ears off!!!!!' 'Eep.' Jude scrambled to the stool and jammed the hat on his head. 'Ready and waiting SIR!' he thought frantically. 'Please don't eat my ears...' Hmmph, you think I have nothign better to do than sort you students! I'll have you know that I have a very full social calender, my boy! I get dates with all the hot berets, and sometimes I like to take a looksy out the window and watch the mermaids combing their hair! *grumbles* Anyway, let's give you a place to go, all right? Now, you have a fine sense of humor. I see you are considering a career in the medical field as well! Your dreams of helping people are going to serve you very well in.... HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Violet Midnight Jan 7 2004, 12:52 PM |
| "Right then!" Boomed the hat, as he was obviously getting annoyed at all the people he had 2 sort. She waited patiently, and glamerously flicked her hair, much to the delight of the second year boys... "Midnight, Violet!" She walked up to the hat and placed it on her golden curls, and waited. The whole hall held their breath... Hello there child... although you said Ravenclaw was your favourite subject, I could interpret that rather loosely as being courageous and bold in a fashion... perhaps you were trying to be funny? Adventures sound like a tonne of fun and I think you could find many similar people to share them with in... GRYFFINDOR! |

| She sits paitently waiting for her name to be called. Her hands are folded on her lap, bouncing her right leg, and chewing at her lower lip. She is nervous, and is wondering what house she will be placed in. She has been anxiously awaiting this day since she got her letter. "Hunter Mcoy!" She jumps at the sound of her name oh boy .. it's okay .. i'm alright .. they just called my name .. i'm cool .. good .. yea she thinks Her green eyes are wide with excitment. She stands up and walks slowly to the sorting hat. Her stomach is all in knots but smiles becasue she knows that this is one of the most proudest moments of her life. That she is a wizard! She sits and glances around the room, she then squeezes her eyes shut and waits .. as the tatered old hat is placed on her head Mmm, I see you have set quite a lofty goal for your life after school. One that will require a great dedication to your studies. I only hope that you get to know your stance on rules soon, or I fear you may not succeed in your dreams. The best place for you to learn about those, and the most likely house for you to realize your ambitions seems to be.. RAVENCLAW! |

| While Sean stood in the line facing the rest of Hogwarts, he mentally quailled at what was actually happening. He was going to be a Hogwarts student! This was the most fantastical task he had done since he threw a stone at a lion when he was seven. He was just muddled when someone called out: "DeWolfried, Sean!" He nearly ran to the stool, and jammed the hat on and thought, "it won t be so bad... At least theres no risk of getting eaten alive..." Hungry.. so hungry. Want brains. Want ickle student braaaains.... Er, hello there, I didn't see you put me on. I must be getting a bit senile, eh? No matter, I'm not too senile to know where to put you! GRYFFINDOR! |

| Lucretia was as anxious as she had ever been in her life. But this wasn't from fear, it was more of an excited anticipation of what was before her. As if the Great Hall wasn't enough for her to marvel at, a singing hat just told her she was about to be sorted in to her house. Would this alone determine her future? From hearing the conversations on the train she knew what house she wanted to be placed in she knew where she was going to belong. "Caril, Hannah" The Sorting hat pondered for a second... "HUFFLEPUFF" "Chansey, Lucretia" Lucretia marched forward. She was confident that the hat would make the right decision. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind of everything but the one thing that she truly wanted. "Gryffindor....Gryffindor...I belong there, I know I do...I have too big a heart to be in Slytherin...please make it Gryffindor..." You want to be in Gryffindor do you? Well, I don't see much bravery inside of you. Yet there's something else.... an ambition to do well. You stick by your friends no matter what the circumstances are and you seem as if you would help anyone in need. Those are excellent Hufflepuff traits. Yet your interest in knitting catches my attention. You seem to be worried about how you'll adjust to the wizarding world. You wish to excell in Runes which is a tough class indeed. Yes my dear, I would say that your brain as well as your heart would be best suited for.. RAVENCLAW! |

| Angelica waited excited for her turn in the sorting.She wish that her hope came true...be in Gryffindor!.The time came "Soriono,Angelica",she pass at the front Gryffindor,Gryffindor!!.She sat on the chair and now the sorting hat was on her head.Now she just have to wait until the hat designed in what house she should be in,obviously Gryffindor. While the hat was on her head she thought Come on...Gryffindor!...Gryffindor!..only in this house. Only in Gryffindor? Well the fact that you would base your reaction to a dispute in the great hall by the house of the students is definately a bit of a Slytherin trait. However, you do have a unique sense of adventure, and a bit of an ego. GRYFFINDOR will do you well. |

Tyler looked around the small group of students left and stood in a trance until his name was called. Avoiding the nervous glances of the few remaining people he passed he made his way up the steps and turned to sit himself down on the stool, then the hat was placed on his head, TJ's eyes firmly shut as the infamous sorting hat called out ((Okay, filled in the sorting form again, thank you for telling me of the problem. Now sort me babay - A Repost - I wasn't sure you would back track, delete if necessary)) ((I do back track, but it's always nice to have the people post again. So thank you as well. Now for your sorting ^^) You are such a kind child, and you didn't even realize that you had the same type of power as your older brother. You seem a bit frightened going into the wizarding world and knowing nothing, however I assure you that things will be okay. There is one house to ease your fears in which I feel you will excell greatly in. This one is... HUFFLEPUFF! |

| Mary Jane was calm.She knew that her house will be Gryffindor.Oh..im sooo glad about this moment. 'Christensen,Mary Jane'. "Oh thats me!".She walked at the chair to be sorted..she wasnt scared. 'Gryffindor..Gryffindor' The hat was putted on her head.She wait. Dear Mary Jane, your mind tells me that you want Gryffindor, yet I feel that there's another place in which you will exceed in. Your caring attitude and desire to make new friends shows me that you belong in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Kyra Borealis Jan 7 2004, 05:05 PM |
| Kyra looked at the Sorting Hat nervously, although she was excited to be here. She had waited for this so long- to finally learn magic, just like her mother and father had. She found her cousin's face (he was a Ravenclaw) in the crowd and saw his reasuring smile. "Borealis, Kyra!" She returned the smile and walked up to the Sorting Hat, excited that this day had finally come. Please put me in Ravenclaw, I want to be with people just like me...... My, My, what a head you have on your shoulders. Dear Rowena would have been very proud of you. You handle yourself well in stressful situations and you plan to write books as you get older. Well, I think Rowena would come back from the dead and rip me to shreds if I didn't put you into RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: myles lennox Jan 7 2004, 05:34 PM |
| *myles lennox stands in silence as the other names are being called to the Sorting Hat. Admiring the work of the charmed ceiling's beautiful starry night overcast, he faintly hears his name being called out amongst the crowd, but only to pay no attention to it at first. His name was called but a second time which finally jolted his brain from the transe of the ceiling and then struck him with nervousness of attention. *myles lennox isn't used to attention unless he is getting picked on at his old Military Boarding School. Though not quite understand the concept of the sorting hat at first, he heard some peers talking about it in a distant amongst the boat ride. He understands that the sorting hat determines your fate, by your outlook of life. Slytherin,Gryffindor,Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw. Only the hat itself can decide *myles lennox's true fate in Hogwarts. It was his time to take the seat, and have the almighty read his mind. *myles lennox trying to fade out the bad things that have happened to him in his past: the abuse, the fights, and the pranks played on him. *myles lennox takes a seat as the Sorting Hat is placed on his head, so may the Sorting Hat speak the truth, and place him in what house is rightfully my belonging. Ahh, hello Myles. I can see that you've had hard times growing up. Oh yes, I can see them, though you've tried hard to keep them from me. Yet you persevered, and you haven't let your past stop you from achieving what you've set yourself to do. That sort of strength is admirable. Although you have a great mind for studies, I think you've had enough hard discipline in your life. Your mind may say Ravenclaw, but you have the heart of a lion. GRYFFINDOR! |

Brave gal, adventurous spirit. I know where to put you, are you ready to hear it? Better be.. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Janie Johnson Jan 7 2004, 07:09 PM |
| Janie walked into the Great Hall, and looked curiously at the hat. Am I gunna have to eat it or something? she pondered, thinking of the most ludicrous thing possible. The hat broke out in song, and when it was done she listened to some other names be called. Janie Johnson! shouted the hat. Janie quickly raced up there and pulled the hat over her head, wishing for Gryffindor. Little one you wish for the house of the noble and brave, yet your amazing wit and ability to actually trick Peeves has made me see other things in you. You may not enjoy schoolwork, however you seem to have a natural intelligence that cannot be countered. You seem to have a fun loving nature about you and a mind as sharp as a tack. These traits about you are enough to put you in RAVENCLAW! |

| 'Miss. deWinter? Miss. Victoria deWinter?' The eleven year old girl with her strawberry dirtyblonde hair braided and crowned around her head, smiled a toothy grin at the faces nervously turned twords her. It didn't bother her, as she walked up to the center-stage platform, to have every pair of eyes on her, for she had given speeches in front of many more people, not to mention adults at the social gatherings Father had her put together. Wow...this room...tables...people have an eccence around them i am going to enjoy this year and beyond. Mother, I WILL make you proud. Victoria walked up the steps. The first one... The house I am sorted in to will have my name on the tip of their tongue. Second step. They will have respect for me, and I will surpass everyone here. Platform. The three legged stool was two steps infront of her. My grades will be higher that muggleborn, and my skills better than that Harry Potter's were. My strength and personality will make me outshine and defeat the opponent. I aspire, therefore I am. You wish to be more powerful than Harry Potter? THE Harry Potter? Why little girl, that is some ambition. You do know that Sir Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord Voldemort, right? You've got major competition yet I feel that you will do whatever it takes to get there. There is only one house which will help you suceed in that..... Better be SLYTHERIN! |

| Posted by: Xion Marquise Jan 8 2004, 01:06 AM |
| Xion looked around the Great Hall, thinking what he could do after he got sorted. He looked around from table he was sitting at, at all of the other people and to him, they don't really seem to look friendly, and then looked onto the top of the table again. "I wonder if i can actually get to make friends with some of these people," he said to himself. Then he heard a voice echoing loudly throught the hall.... "Marquise, Xion" Xion looked around and stood up and seen that the voice came from a distance, near the staff table, then his name was called again, and this time he looked at the stool standing and went towards it slowly. No need to worry, it doesn't really matter to me what house i'm in. I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind either. When he finally approached it and looked at the hat, he smiled, "Well, it seems it's my turn, alright....  " He said as he took the hat and put it on and waited to listen in on what it had to say.Well, what have we here? I see you like to practice Quidditch on your own. Brave and caring, and you love your mother. I like you, so I think I'll put you somewhere that you're personality will thrive... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Dana Fowim Jan 8 2004, 01:45 AM |
| Dana entered the room nervously, gazing around the Great Hall. Although she'd heard many tales of the Hall, it was still something of a shock to see the stars shining down on her from *inside* a building. But beautiful, nonetheless. The candles, floating above the tables illuminated the room, filled with anxious first year students, most of whom were still waiting to be sorted. The second years were watching eagerly, perhaps remembering their own sorting, just one year previously. Some looked smug, knowing that it was another's turn to feel the apprehension and anticipation that was so much a part of the sorting ceremony. There were a few 4th and 5th year students who were looking bored or ravenous, depending on how you interpreted their fidgeting and facial expressions. It couldn't be fun for them to have to wait their dinner while the fate of the first years was decided. "Fowim, Dana" She jumped a foot into the air, caught unawares by the call. She'd become so engrossed in studying those around her that she hadn't even heard what house the last student had been placed in. Sitting down, the musty hat was placed on her head, and she heard a voice speaking in her ear. Resisting the urge to look around to see who was speaking, she tried to sit still, while the voice deliberated before deciding her fate. [OOC: Sent through my application, and haven't received a response on my mail - this was about 24 hours ago. Don't know if there was an error or not, so I've sent this through anyway. Please let me know if there is a problem.] (OOC too: sorry about that. I just kinda got behind on sending the forms out. I've been totally exhausted the past couple days, that and i was trying to let Dumbledore catch up with the tagging a bit before i sent them all out again. Patience is a virtue, my dear. )What a bright mind you have! All the better to sort you with! A mind that yearns for new things, A heart as big as the Great Hall! I think for you there's just one thing, And that's to put you in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Whisper Rhaevyne Jan 8 2004, 09:17 AM |
| (Just a note, I have Professor McGonagall's permission to include her in this RP.) A group of First Years entered the Great Hall, led by the known hag, McGonagall. Among them was none other than Whisper Raziel Rhaevyne, who wore a rather disdained and bored expression as the children continued to gigggle. The hag repeated, “Orderly line, please.” However, the rambling idiots don’t have enough comprehension skills to even follow orders, not that it surprised Whisper a tiny bit. The girl stood arrogantly in her black satin robes, which were trimmed with silver. Beneath, she wore a black and grey plaid skirt and shirt in its own fashionable way. Chains of silver hung across her skirt and robes, as it is only the Rhaevyne way to look their best. Her arms were crossed as she walked in front of the High Table. Whisper pushed a few strands of misplaced hair behind her ear, where it fell down her back to her waist. Her black hair, ended in ringlets, and were healthy from mere inheritance and a few costly products, of course. Her almond-shaped eyes glared coldly at the filthy-blooded, anserine beings. To be honest, filthy-blooded and anserine are quite nice of words to describe those forms of “human” existence. Whisper did see a few others, feeling just as annoyed, but one by one, they were sorted. Surprisingly, nearly all of them were accepted into Slytherin. The warmth and sweat of the bunch was sickening, causing Whisper to wrinkle her nose. The other First-Years whispered anxiously and excitedly, “Ooooh! I want Ravenclaw! Hufflepuff! Ooohh!” She shook her head in resignation, and her sharp eyes made contact with a few Purebloods, who she knew. One of her eyebrows arched and a malicious smile formed. “Blood traitors.” she said plainly, causing those certain ones to look alarm. Those Purebloods grew up in a traditional and respectable family, now what would their family say if she told them of their association of such low class? Blackmail is in order. Whisper gave one last glance and a smile of reassurance that a deal could be made, before turning around to face the crowd of students. Names continued to be called, and people were getting restless. “Rhaevyne, Whisper!” the booming voice shrieked. She moved forward to go to the sorting hat, but being in her 11-year-old self... she was sort of short. She placed one delicate hand on the girl’s shoulder and shoved her sideways. “Pardon me, but you were wasting this lovely area of space.” As she came closer to the sorting hat, she began to wonder. The Sorting Hat must be filthy, how can they expect her to respect that? Just the people who have worn it could’ve been diseased. She was digusted as she slipped on a single silver glove on her right hand. The hat was lifted from the stool, and Whisper gave it a single look before moving her glove around the stool. At that, the stool was cleaned and she took the item off. She held it with her fingertips as she sat down. The glove now had holes in it and parts were slightly melted. “You may dispose of it, ma’m.” Whisper said, her eyes flashing. Professor McGonagall gave a grunt and darkness was before her eyes as the hat dropped to her nose. Whisper wondered what it read in her mind while she cleared it. She put forth her own demands for it. I do not beg from objects such as yourself. You know very well what house I desire so decide. However, the threat that I will drown you in Mudblood sweat, then rip you from shred to shred isn’t too appealing, correct? Actually, that is not a threat.... it is a mere promise. Threats already? But you're just an ickle... oh my you really mean it don't you? Let's just get this over with then, will that suit you? *trembles ever so lsightly* I see alot of ambition, lofty goals. No love for those who's blood is not as pure as yours, either. Mmm, yes. I don't think even Hufflepuff could sooth your heart, so it better be...SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Calvin Fosters Jan 8 2004, 01:38 PM |
| Calvin Fosters followed the other children into the room, all of them looking around and saying "ooooh!" "look at the ceiling!" etc, etc. He could feel eyes boreing into him, and tryed to look casual. He looked at the tables, he saw a group of 4th year girls giggling and throwing paper about. He saw a geoup of 2nd year boys pulling moody looks at the new children. He found it hard to believe they were actually acting like normal teenagers do, even though they're in a magical wizardy boarding school. "I hope I'm in hufflepuff, it seems perfect for me," He whispered absent-mindedly to the girl next to him. "I hate you then," She answered in a malicous tone. Calvin blushed and stepped away from the girl. "FOSTERS, CALVIN!" A voice shouted and Calvin felt a squirmy feeling in his stomach. He then found himself, seated on a stool, pulling a torn up hat onto his head..... Hello, Calvin! You're like a breath of fresh, sweet air after that last student. But, er... don't tell her I said that, all right? I see you have the right House written on your heart, you belong in HUFFLEPUFF! |

| Shay was very nervous, she didn't like big crowds. Well, she would have to get used to it wouldn't she? She made friends with a fellow soon to be first year on the train. She was nervous too. We both hoped they were in Gryffindor. The hat called out my new friends name "Lake,Cassandra" "Good luck" I whispered "You too!" She whispered back. As soon as the hat touched her head it yelled "GRYFFINDOR!!" I was called next. "Padpot,Shay" I was very nervous. I walked up and sat on the stool. Then it was placed on my head. It talked to me for a little bit and then yelled "GRYFFINDOR!!" The Gryffindor table clapped. I could see Cassandra clapping the loudest. Oh, I do like your spunk, Miss Padpot! Although, sliding down bannisters could be dangerous! A skateboarder, too! That's like flying on the ground, isn't it? I know just where to put you... you're bravery and playfulness will serve you best in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Momoko Hanasaki Jan 8 2004, 03:46 PM |
| "Hanasaki Momoko" was called, and Momoko and the hat was put on her head. 'This is like so exiteding' she thought. So, like... where do I put you? I mean, like, you'd probably just GAG if I put you in, like, Slytherin, right? For sure! So, like, what do you think about Hufflepuff? Is that, like, all right with you? TOTALLY HUFFLEPUFF! TO THE MAX! |
| Posted by: Eliena Delinar Jan 8 2004, 06:21 PM |
| Eliena glanced around and felt completely annoyed. Was this place not proper enough to spare the expense for a place for First Years to sit down? It was very kind of the boy sitting at the table near where she was standing to notice her plight and take it upon himself to move over, supplying her with a place to sit. She flashed him a small smile and sat down, daintily crossing her ankles and politely observing the rest of her schoolmates getting sorted. Delinar, Eliena! Eliena stood gracefully and nodded slightly to the boy again. She walked forward and perched her self on the edge of the stool, gazing out at all of the other students before the hat fell over her eyes and all was black. Zzzzzzzz.... Eh? Another one? Dear Merlin, there are a lot of you this year! Let's get a looksy in that brain of yours. Aha! I knew it! You aren't a child at all, you're a collections agent here to audit my accounts! How dare you! Can't you see I'm busy I-I-I-oh no you're just a hopeful student. You're keen mind had me fooled for a minute there...*coughs* I think I'll put you in.... SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Millenia Sparkler Jan 8 2004, 06:57 PM |
| *Millenia Sparkler stood in line, patiently. She exhaled shakily, more nervous than ever. "I know I will get the house I want. I do not need to worry." She told herself, for at least the tenth time that evening. "Sparkler, Millenia!" Was called. Millenia smiled, and walked up onto the platform, smiling at those staring intently at her. The Hat took a breath as it said her house. So you "know" you'll get the House you want, eh? I may shock you, I've been known to do that. So unless you knew I was going to put you in SLYTHERIN! Then, NEENER NEENER! Ah, all right you're not going to Slytherin, I was kidding. You probably already knew this, but just to make it formal, you belong in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Raven Moonstar Jan 8 2004, 07:40 PM |
| The dark red headed girl took a step into the great hall. Looking around once, she realized that her mum explained this place alittle to well. Walking in she saw the 4 tables and in the exact same order. Humh.... Raven peered around the room she liked it, the more she looked the more she fell in love with this place. Her mind started wondering to her sister she was going to miss her alot more then what Raven thought. I wonder if she will be here, but wait if she shows up wouldnt that make her mum a wizard. Raven hadnt thougth about it much. Her mum told her Gryffindor wasn't the place to be, and Hufflepuff was to generic. Her dad said that it doesnt matter just as long as I am here. "Moonstar, Raven" A older looking lady called her name. But Raven was to lost in her thoughts, did her mum tell her the truth about everything, was her mum really a 'normal' person as she said or is her mum keeping a secret of her own. "Moonstar, Raven" The lady called her name again. Raven heard it this time, and she continuously tried smoothing down her unnaturaly rulley curly hair. She finally gave up as she moved up to the chair, and sat down and let the hat read her. That's what both her mum and dad said repeativedly. Put me somewhere to make my parents proud.. Please that's all I am asking... and just to let you know I so love the green and the silver..... Raven silently wished to herself. I don't think green is your color, dear. I think you'll look better in the blue and bronze of.. RAVENCLAW! |

| Posted by: Karia Spark Jan 8 2004, 09:51 PM |
| Karia walked into the great hall, her legs moving at a wide pace, showing that she was not used to wearing the hampering skirt and robe that was the hogwarts uniform. She didn't stumble though. Pushing ahead of other students, she stood at the front of the group as it waited to be sorted. "Would they hurry up?!?" she asked in obvious and loud impatience. Finally "SPARK, KARIA," was heard. She sauntered forward, and pulled the hat on eagerly. Well, now! What have we here? Have you come to whisk me away to greener pastures, my lovely? I've always wanted to see Spain, you know. How about you? No? Just want to be sorted? Mmm, well all right ... but maybe after this is all done you can find me and we'll go run with the bulls, hmm? Until then, we'll put you in..... GRYFFINDOR! Karia smiled, seriously thinking about the hat's request. "Tell you what," she whispered, "As soon as I have the money, I'll buy a broom and we'll go together! It sounds like fun. I suppose I'll have to get in trouble big enough to reach Dumbledor's though..." the hat chuckled in her ear as she pulled it off, and placed it on the stool, stepping confidently over to Gryffindor. |

| Kendall was waiting to hear her name called as she looked at all the other first years piling into the Great Hall. She was nervous at first, but when she got into the Great hall she was filled with excitment and couldn't wait to get soarted. She stood with all the others waiting for her name to be shouted out. "Holladay, Kendall" This was it, she thought as she walked up to the stool. I can feel your excitement dear child, and I like it. This is bound to be a great adventure for you, and I think you'll find all the right friends in.. HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Mercedes Layne Jan 8 2004, 09:56 PM |
| Mercedes stood in line with the rest of the first years in the Great Hall. She gazed up at the beautiful ceiling and realized that it mirrored the sky outside. Professor McGonagall began calling out the names of students to be sorted. As she watched each one's house name called out through the Great Hall and cheers erupt from the tables, she smiled. She couldn't wait to be sorted. Yet she was slightly nervous at the same time, because in a few minutes, her family for seven years at Hogwarts would be determined. Finally, she heard the professor call, "Neyhart, Mercedes!" She walked up the the stool, butterflies in her stomach, and placed the hat on her head, thinking 'Please let me be in the right house! Please let my mother be proud of me!' And then she heard a voice in her head... I'm sorry but I can't seem to find your sorting form. If you are one of the students that re-registered to have their name changed, please let me know what your original login was so I can find your form. If not - please resubmit the sorting form using the login that you have now where it says "Current Login". Thanks - The Hat |

| As Mariel stood in line with the rest of her class mates, her mind began to wander. She wasn't exactly sure which house she was going to be in and yet she was only slightly nervous. Mariel snapped right back to reality as she heard Professor McGonagall begin calling out names. Mariel Listened intently for her own name to be called and after a few minutes finally it came, "Sorelli, Mariel!" At that Mariel meandered up to the stool. Finally she thought, as she lightly put the hat on her head. Definitely ambitious. You want to own your own shop when you get older. You have a thing for nature, and love to snowboard? Hmm. What is snowboarding..... Ah, thank you... Oh Why in Merlin's name that seems awful dangerous.... I know just where to put you. GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Kat Jan 8 2004, 10:20 PM |
| Kat heard her name and calmly walked up and sat on the stool. She didn't have a house preference. The hat was put on her head and....... My balogna has a first name, it's S-O-R-T-I-N-G, my balogna has a second name, it's H-A-T-er... yes, well that doesn't sound right, does it? Nevermind. I think with a personality like yours, you'll do well in...HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Blair Avatar Jan 8 2004, 10:49 PM |
| *Blair looked around at all the students that filled the Hall. some were first years waiting to be sorted, like herself, some were already joining their house mates at the tables. she nervously bobbed on the balls of her feet waiting for her turn.* "this is nerve wracking..." *then she moved to the sorting hat, as she heard her name called into the quiet* "Avy, Blair!" Definitely friendly. And you seem to be a very active girl. You love all sorts of things from sports to acting. But where to put you...? Definitely not Slytherin. You're much to kind to be there. Perhaps Hufflepuff, as you have great loyalty to your friends.. But I sense something more. Oh why don't we have a house like Ravendor? Or Gryffinclaw even? Aggh..... Better make this one GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: *kelli* Jan 8 2004, 11:14 PM |
| Kelli stood outside the two towering oak doors that led to The Great Hall. She had been waiting for this moment it seemed her entire life, well, at least since she got her acceptance letter. The older witch had told them they were to be sorted into houses. "Oh Great! she thought. What if they make us do a task up there? I don't know any spells yet! Or what if they make us fight a monster?! Well i'll just have to go up there and give it a good fight she thought dryly. Wait, she continued, she was sure she had read about this in her books this summer... what was it they had to do again?" she pondered nervously. And then it came to her like a port in a storm, they woul be trying on a hat. "Whew, she thought, at least i won't be making a fool of myself." But the thought of fighting off some dark creature still amused her. Then the old witch came back again and simply stated "they're ready for you now." Several students gulped while others stood rigid with fear. But Kelli, now knowing that all they had to do was try on a hat, was ready to take in the beautiful ceiling she had read about in Hogwarts, A History. As she entered the Great Hall all of her fears were swept out and she was completley overcome with a sense of curiosity and happiness and was only swept out to her senses when an old tattered hat sitting on a stool began to sing. The words to this song really stuck with her. Of all the rumors she heard and books she had read about the different houses nothing seemed to ring out truer then the song the hat had sung. She knew that she didn't want to be in a house that valued cunning so Slytherin was definetley out plus she was a muggleborn. Though Hufflepuff was okay she felt that she would better be sorted in a house that had higher expectaions than just to be loyal. So which would it be she pondered... courage or smarts? And just at the moment a voice rang out loud and clear. " Kelli Woods!" She got up carefully and smoothed out the front of her long black robes. She then meticulously made her way up to the stool. She sat down gingerly her brain still mulling her thoughts around and then the hat was placed on her head and she concentrated on the voice now speaking quizzcally into her ear.... (Due to the enforcement of the registration name rule [found in the Rule thread in the Great Hall], You will need to re-register your character as you're full character name. Thus meaning - the *'s aren't allowed. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, and after you have re-registered, just post letting me know what your original name was, and I will sort you with your old form. Thanks - The Hat) |
| Posted by: Krystela Hextor Jan 8 2004, 11:59 PM |
| Krystela smiled trying to hide her nervousness. Both of her parents had tried to explain the ceremony and discribed theirs. She tried to remember her mother's story it made her giggle everytime she pictured her falling off the stool. She felt infinatly better as she looked around at her peers wondering what house each would be sorted in to. Her father had been in Gryffindor and her mother in Ravenclaw both proud and noble houses. She would accept whichever she was sorted in to and take their colours with pride except slitherin she heard some of her peers teasing a girl and gloating about how once they were in Slitherin everyone would be sorry. Her thoughts wandered as she waited for her name to be called. Her grey blue eyes windened when she heard it... "Hextor, Krystela " "This is it!" she thought her nervousness now acompanied by anticipation and even excitement. She brushed a blonde curl off her face, lifted her black robes and walked towards the stool... My, my dear. You do have a heart. You would be so kind to someone who was lost if you found yourself in the same situation. And you also have a wonderful brain. Your intelligence brings out the best in you. I would have to say that this one is RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Blaze Jan 9 2004, 01:35 AM |
| Blaze entered the Great Hall along with the mass amount of Unsorted students. Blaze didn't really meet anyone on the train so he was standing alone, smriking at the others whispering about what house they want. So there Blaze stood, alone and waited. He waited and waited. "Callaghan, Blaze" Blaze looked up and pushed through the crowd of waiting students. He walked up and sat down on the stool. The hat was placed on his head and he waited patienly. Good things come to those who wait He sighed and tried to slow all the thoughts wizzing around in his head. ((OOC: I got my acceptance letter!)) You've been through a lot, I can see it. Yet, you overcome things with the courage of a lion. You want to explore and are constantly looking for new adventures. This, my boy, will put you in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Aerick Tanderim Jan 9 2004, 01:37 AM |
| Aerick looks around at his fellow soon to be friends or students. He waits patiently as the students get called one by one to sit under the hat and get placed into a house. He starts to feel the butterflies in his stomach get bigger and bigger as the teacher calling the names gets closer to the T's. He looks at the rest of the students they all have scared and worried looks on their faces. His mind drifts down to his feet as he realizes that they are starting to hurt from standing here for so long. Then he thinks of what his parents would think of the house he gets put in. they wouldn't care, would they, Dad never told me what house he was in...hum...it would be interesting to find out. His mind gets snapped back to place as he hears the first T called out. His butterflies are turning into rhinos now. Then he hears his name. TANDERIM, AERICK He takes a deep breath and runs his hand through his ear length hair and walks forward to the sorting hat. He looks it straight in the eye and looks at the teacher. She nods towards the three legged stool and lifts the hat up. Aerick sits and the Teacher places it on his head. he closes his eyes and waits for an answer. ((ooc: I got my acceptance letter.))) So, you want to be a Hogwarts student? Ready to take the plunge into the great unknown? Want to learn how to cast a few spells, mix a few potions, turn a raven into a writing desk? Good news! You've come to the right hat, and now you'll be going to the right House....GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Cassandra Latimere Jan 9 2004, 01:38 AM |
| Cassandra stood amoungest the other future first years. She looked out over the Hall, until she spotted the Slytherin table. She almost smiled at the thought that she would probably be sitting there soon. The sound of "Latimere, Cassandra!" broke her day- dream. She stepped up to the stool and sat down. As the hat was placed on her head, all she could think was Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin... Sorting, sorting, sorting, keep those students sorting. Sorting, sorting, SORTING! Whoooo hoooo! This is sort of fun, you know? Haha, "sort" of fun. Hee hee hee, I crack myself up... *sigh* Well, let's get back to it, shall we? Looking into your mind, I see all the qualities of.... SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 9 2004, 07:11 AM | ||
Let's see here......
I'm beginning to think that some people are having a bit of a hard time comprehending what that means. I do believe that you need to wait until I send you your acceptance letter before you post. It is a rule. Follow it. Period. *grumbles* |
| Posted by: Iestyn Jones Jan 9 2004, 09:19 AM |
| Iestyn found himself being swept into the Great Hall in the middle of the flood of first years, and knew he should be wary if he wanted to avoid tripping over someone else's feet. However, he could not but help stare at his surroundings. Everything since he had stepped off the train had been so...surreal, so unbelievable. He found himself taking delight in the smallest of things, and was currently captivated by the floating candles. The sorting ceremony began shortly, and Iestyn found his eyes drawn to the hat every time a new student placed it on his or her head. He shook his head slightly in disbelief. A talking hat? He wondered what house he would be selected for. He knew nothing about any of them, except that, on the train, those wearing the Slytherin badges had seemed the least friendly. "Jones, Iestyn." Iestyn jumped slightly, then made his way to the hat's stool, murmuring "excuse me" on numerous occasions as he had to push his way through the crowd. He picked the hat up gingerly as he took a seat, then rested it on his head. It slipped down immediately, covering his eyes. Not Slytherin! He thought. Please not Slytherin! You are the next contestant on "Which House will the student be in?!". Hmmm, looking inside your head, I see a great deal of inttelect. Witty, fun. Very caring.. Yes. I think I know just what to do with you! You've just won a seven year residence in the noble house of RAVENCLAW! All expenses paid, a gorgeous bed in a dorm room, meals three times a day! Looks like you'll be living in the lap of luxery for the next seven years! Congradulations! |
| Posted by: ShelMcKent Jan 9 2004, 10:50 AM |
| Shel looked around nervously. Unaware of exactly what she was feeling at the moment, she approached the front of the hall after hearing he name called. It seemed to take an eternity before she could feel her body at rest in the simple chair placed in front of the entire school. This was what she had been waiting for...she thought... Hey, do you like charades? Try and guess this one. No, it's not an ice cream cone, try again. No! It's not a funnel, either? Focus now, I know you'll get it. No, not a hippopotamus, where did you get that from? Okay, okay ... so hat's aren't very good at charades. I'll just tell you, all right? You'll do well in.... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Rose Dawson Jan 9 2004, 12:50 PM |
| Rose stood in the middle of the crowd of first years waiting to be sorted. She is very nervous and is staring at her feet. "Dawson, Rose." Rose slowly walks up and the sorting hat is placed on her head. Please, please I want to be either a Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, she thinks. She releaxes for a minute until the sorting hat calls out the house that she be in. Rose Dawson? I've heard that name before.... something with Jack? Jack Sparrow? No... that's not right. Oh I've got to tell Dumbledore to stop watching those blasted muggle movies! He's getting me all befuddled. Ah well, no matter. You belong in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Luca Jan 9 2004, 01:14 PM |
| Luca waited anxiously for her name to be called. "Luca Centaurino" This was it. Time to be sorted. Luca in the skyyyyyy with diamonds.... erm. Sorry about that. Anyways. You've got a great sense of caring about you and you seem to be a mentor during controversial arguments. A heart of gold, you belong in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Autumn Fae Jan 9 2004, 01:28 PM |
| Autumn enters the hall, and is quite nervous as she awaits her name being called, "Autumn Fae", she walks up to the stool, this is the moment she has been waiting for, she comes from a Gryffindor family and hopes to continue that tradition, she is anxious to get started on her path at Hogwarts, anxious and scared at the same time, she arrives at the stool and slowly takes her seat and the sorting hat is placed on her head... A love for herbology, and a kind heart. You seem to be a little shy, yet loyal to your friends. These, my dear, are all qualities of a true badger. Better be HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: AllyMcLeod Jan 9 2004, 01:31 PM |
| Ally looked around nervously. He would be called soon. So far, most of his friends had gone into Gryffindor. He was desperate to join them, but knew that it would only be up to the Hat. He heard "McLeod, Ally" and stepped forward. 'Not a time to be faint hearted,' he told himself as he strode up to the stool and settled himself on it with a happy gin on his face. 'Now let's see what happens,' he thought. You have a distinct craving to protect others and you love physical activity. There is only one house with the courage to do whatever is nessicary to keep others safe, and that is GRYFFINDOR! (ps. i think that it is highly impossible to be only 11 and 5'9 already. The average height for an 11 year old boy is like, 4'5''. So perhaps maybe 5 feet tall would still make you larger than normal, but not exceeding plausible nature. Anyways, that will give you some time to grow too ) |
| Posted by: LirinayLinay Jan 9 2004, 01:53 PM |
| Lirinay had been holding her breath until the moment the proffesor called her name. She let out a large breath and walked up to the sorting hat confidently, although on the inside she was scared to death. She sat down elegently on the sorting hat stool and waited for the hat to be placed apon her head. She had had many dreams about this before, but they all involved her lying on the ground while faires poked her in the eyes with metal forks. "darn brothers" she thought to herself. This wasn't nearly as bad as they made it out to be, although standing in front of the entire school was quite nerve wracking Lirinay heard a small voice talking to her, though it seemed to come from the hat itself. "Hmmm, I see all your siblings were in Slytherin, quite the unruly bunch." Lirinay took no offense to this comment becuase she felt the same way. "Please put me in Slytherin, I have to make my parents proud!" She thought, hoping the sorting hat could hear her. "Well, well, it seems like you are telling me you want to be in Slytherin, but your heart is set on another house, where to put you, where to put you" Lirinay, uncomfortably aware that every one was watching, waited for the decision. (Please do not put words into my mouth. I don't appreciate it. Thanks.) Ahh, there is a lot to contemplate in your mind. Give me a moment to think, will you? Zzzzzz.... Zzzzzz... Ack? You're still here? *whispers* I wasn't dozing was I? I WAS?!? Er, well if you promise not to tell anyone, I'll put you in.... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Colin Shan Jan 9 2004, 05:10 PM |
| Colin looked at the enormus great hall. He ran a list through his mind about the houses he wanted to be. Gryffindor, he thought, well, I could show off my bravery, but working as a team isn't for me. In Hufflepuff, I could make new friends, yeah... that would be fun. In Ravenclaw, I could show off my smarts, and that's definetly good. Slytherin, well I am cunning, and that might be a fun house to be in. He heard his new friend Kyra's name called and then her being sorted into Ravenclaw. He thought, now there's an added bonus to being in Ravenclaw. Unfourtunetly, he was worrying, as usual. He thought. What if I don't make any friends, what if I'm not smart, what if people like the Gryffindor's don't like me if I'm in Slyterin? Colin Shan! Colin heard his named called. He kept worrying, as the soorting hat was placed on his head. Now, now, dear child. No need to worry. Daddy Sorting Hat knows just where you belong. You constantly put others first and enjoy all kinds of life. A golden quality if I do say so myself. You worry a bit too much, but it's all in fear that you won't live up to your own expectations of yourself, I think. Alright, I believe that you would do best in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Tanya Ivey Jan 9 2004, 05:19 PM |
| Tanya Ivey stood with the other little first years waiting to be sorted. She hoped to uphold the family name and honour by being in Slytherin. Her brothers would kill her if she got into a house like Hufflepuff. She looked around and saw- speak of the devil- a Hufflepuff smile gallantly at her and wave. She stared malevolently back. He noticed her cold, icy glare, and desisted. Tanya fingered her wand. How she'd love to curse everyone in this Great Hall... You are rotten to the core, Miss Ivey. I see a definate two sidedness to your personality. Part of you hates your family and wants to break free from their traditional values, yet another part of you seems to withold them all in secret. You would take the defense of someone, no matter how bad a crime they may have committed, and you fear nothing. You, my dear, are definately a SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 9 2004, 05:21 PM | ||
Just to clear things up, in most cases - there is a reason you didn't get an acceptance letter. You can pm me to see if your form was submitted, but i will not be accepting anyone whos login name is not their character name from now on (as this is against the rules, as I was reminded by Dumbledore) Also if other rules were not followed in your sorting form, or if your family background is against the rules, etc... You will not be accepted. Like for instance, I got a person who sent a form today saying that she was an elf and from an ancient Elvish family. That's against the rules. She won't be accepted. Therefore - the acceptance letter won't go to her. Thus, I don't need people who aren't supposed to be accepted still posting in the thread, it makes my job much harder. lol. Thanks and have a nice day. -The Hat |
| Posted by: Brian Jan 9 2004, 06:21 PM |
| He was nervous, their were so many faces he didn't know, and so many people giving him odd looks. He didn't understand where the voice that was shouting things out were coming from, nor did he get what a hat had to do with where he'd been for the next 7 years of his life. He cracked a joke and smiled towards a girl he didn't know, she rolled her eyes and called him a moron. He looked away and sighed hearing his name. Silver, Brian he walked up the the three legged stool and felt the old hat being placed on his head and it coming down beneath his eyes. It smelt like rotten eggs and pepper, how odd. I happen to be wearing the latest wizarding cologne, actually. I don't appreciate the insult. Wait a second... what was that? You did WHAT with the spoon? Mmm, well I won't tell anyone if you don't. In fact, I wish you hadn't told me.. I'm going to have dreams. I think I'll put you in.... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: kelcum Jan 9 2004, 06:55 PM |
| Kelcum walked into the great hall and sat down on a chair waiting to be called out and too be sorted into the Ravenclaw house by the sorting hat "Lund Kelcum" she sat up quickly out of the chair and the hat was placed on her head "please Ravenclaw"she was saying in her mind You know, my dear girl, you have a love of sports that almost made me wish to see you in red and gold. However, your penchant for thinking about sports rather than doing them swayed my opnion. Indeed, you will make a fine Ravenclaw! |
| Posted by: Lucretia Chansey Jan 9 2004, 07:11 PM | ||
Because I messed up with an innappropriate username the first time, I'm copying my original sorting information here. Sorry for the mess up Dumbledore, I know you expect more of us Ravenclaws. Yes, I do  |
| Posted by: Jimena_Moore Jan 9 2004, 07:15 PM |
| Jimena looked nervously at all of her new fellow students. This will be an interesting experience, she thought. She smiled at a couple of people around her and waited semi-patiently for her name to be called. "Moore, Jimena" She walked slowly up to the hat, making sure everyone saw that she wasn't nervous. She sat up straight in the chair, holding her head high and watched everyone's reaction as the hat was placed on her head... You seek adventure, do you? Excitement? That all sounds familiar. You enjoy drawing, which seems like more of a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw trait to me. Yet, you do not seem to exibit many personality traits that would lead me to believe you belong in either house. That leaves only two left to sort you into. Your blood heritage rules you out of one of them, so that leaves only one left. I do so like to see muggleborns in school. Ms. Moore, I believe we'd best make you GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Kiara Jan 9 2004, 07:34 PM |
| As I walk in the Great Hall, I cant do anything but stare. I have never seen anything so beautiful before. The ceiling was obviously enchanted so that it represents the sky outside and the candles and torches were lightning the hall with a warm orange light. I stepped forward in the line of the first years and waited histerically for my name being called out. 'Kiara Mallone!' I stumble on the podium and sit on the three-legged chair as someone puts the hat on my head. I hear a voice in my head saying... And I hear it yelling loudly, so that I almost loose my ears,... Why hello, my dear! You're a friendly one, aren't you? Always gentle, always kind, you easily make friends. You like pranks too and are a bit of a rule-breaker, but I don't think that this alone makes you a Gryffindor. Your caring nature and your good sense of humour will bring a lot of life into HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Tania Brett Jan 9 2004, 07:45 PM |
| Tania anxiously awaited her name being called. What would she do if she got put in the house she didn't want? She looked around at the other first years, all of which looked as scared as she felt. She hoped she didn't look the way she was feeling right then. She didn't want anyone thinking she was a dork. She hoped she'd make some good friends, friends who would remember if she told them things, like her name... etc. "Tania Brett!" McGonagall called out loudly. Tania took a deep breath, hoping she didn't appear stupid to the older kids, most of which were really hot guys. The Sorting Hat was placed on her head, and she heard a sly voice at her ears... Oh, now there is a practical and ambitious little head! Having your future planned already at such a young age is quite a task to achieve. You seem to like shocking your fellow students a bit occasionally, just for fun, but you'll stand up for your friends. You have a truly interesting personality. Let's see how you will do in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Lara Brown Jan 9 2004, 08:13 PM |
| Lara felt her stomac give a jolt, she was there!!!, among the other first years, waiting to get sorted... The students on each table looked at them, trying to guess wich would be in their houses. Apparently, she was not the only one who was nervous, next to her was a boy with blond hair, who was very pale and sweaty, and next to him, was a girl who kept telling him that everything was going to be ok. A red haired girl who she had been talking earlier was sorted into Ravenclaw, and then... it was time... "Brown, Lara!" said the teacher Lara walked slowly towards the hat, afraid that her feet may fail her. She sitted and the last thing she saw was all the first year students looking at her, before the hat covered her eyes... Don't be sad, little one. You will make many friends at Hogwarts, I promise you that. But let's where I'll put you first. My, you're awfully sarcastic. A part of me wants to put you in Slytherin because of that trait, but I fear you would not be happy in that house. You seem like a nicely balanced little girl. You had a happy childhood and grew up in a healthy environment. You'll be happy in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Casey Cultori Jan 9 2004, 08:46 PM | ||
phoenix4ver has changed his account to Casey Cultori Greetings Mr. Cultori, glad you could finally make it to the sorting. You are quite thoughtful but not overly so. I see that you like to write and I only know of one type of person that actually keeps track of the exact number of novels that they have read. You somehow manage to be intelligent yet humorous at the same time. Regardless, I think you'll make a fine RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Tristin High Jan 9 2004, 09:09 PM |
| As I walked into the Great Hall I was so nervous I almost passed out. When the hat called my name to be sorted I couldn't move then it called my name again I was so nervous I flew to the stool eager to get it over with. The whole time I was thinking "Please not Slytherin". Hello there. You don't appear to be overly brainy, nor do you seem overly brave. I see that you would be miserable in Slytherin, even if you are a pureblood. That leaves only one place. I'm sure you will make many friends there. HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Erico Jan 9 2004, 09:25 PM |
| Erico strides into the Great Hall on the heels of the rest of the first years. She sits nervously at the table wringing her hands and wondering which house she would be put in. She knows her parents would prefer that as a pureblood that she be put in Slytherin. But she would so much rather be in Gryffindor people there were nicer, plus it would make her parents fume if she wasn't in Slytherin. She sat bolt up right as her name was called by the Sorting Hat..... "Levesque, Erico!" She strode up and set the hat on her head...waiting....nervously..... Aha! What's this? Not too fond of certain rules, a little rebel we have here! Always looking to gain an advantage. Unless something is in it for you, you don't get involved. How cunning of you. Better be a SLYTH--What? *listens* Hmm... yes... hmm... I see... Well, in that case, better be a GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Grace Newman Jan 9 2004, 09:42 PM |
| Grace walks into the Great Hall in order to be sorted. She ends the line of chattering students and listens for her name to be called out! " Newman Grace " " That me " she thinks to herself! She walks up to the stool and sets the hat atop her head. Your entire thinking revolves around learning new things. Books are literally your life, and you know when to put the knowledge you gained through them to some use. You'll be a RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Brady Walters Jan 9 2004, 10:55 PM |
| Brady walked into the Great Hall, for the very first time in his life. He clenched a fist and swallowed, determined to keep his cool. He walked into line with the rest of the first years, and as he did so, looked around at all the other tables, with their banners hanging above them. Gryffindor. The students there smiled warmly and clad loudly whenever another was sorted into their ranks. He'd heard of them before, from his parents. He didn't want to be there. No not at all. Ravenclaw. Where the smart students were kept. They remained silent for the most part, anticapating when another would be put in their ranks. He knew he didn't fit in with them. For one, he wasn't smart enough. And two, they just weren't the people he would choose to consort with. And the worst of all. Hufflepuff. His eyes fell on the yellow and black banner, and all the children standing underneath it. He wouldn't be caught dead in there. They were all too nice. And besides, most of them were half bloods anyway. Then his eyes fell on Slytherin. He knew he would fit in there. They wore smirks instead of smiles and he sneered along with them when another child join hufflepuffs' ranks. He was daydreaming so much he hardly heard his name called to be sorted next. He regained his composure and stepped forward. He sat down nervously and let the Hat slide onto his head. "Not Hufflepuff, or Gryffindor." He told the hat softly. "I mean it! And just so you know, I'm not that smart at all, so Slytherin is really the only place I can go." He said truthfully, hoping it would be enough to get him into the house he now desired. Now who are you to say that you're not clever? True, you don't have the book-smarts that Ravenclaw requires of you but that does not make you stupid. You have a fierce sense of house loyalty but are slightly prejudiced about those less pureblooded than you. In any case, in SLYTHERIN you will be able to learn and expand your horizons. |

| "Roxanne Tudor!" Roxy's head jerked up, and then she felt her knees knock together. Placing a steadying hand on the girl next to her, she took a deep breathe and stepped forward carefully, staking out the ground with her metal cane. She bumped the stool and then sat on it, feeling queasy. She felt a fabric object drop over her head and a musty smell filled her nostrils, making her sneeze. Hello, my dear little girl. My my, you're used to having a big family around you, aren't you? I hope that you won't get homesick! But do not fear, for I shall put you into a house that will be your family for as long as you'll stay at Hogwarts. Now let me have a look into your mind... You are fond of magical creatures... prefer hands-on learning to books. I see that you'll be loyal to your house and that you have a fierce sense of justice. You don't appear very brave at first sight, but I am convinced that you have the heart of a GRYFFINDOR! |

| Cleo watched as the other Sortees made their way to the tattered hat. Some looked pathetic, others not so much so.... but still she was dreading this. 'My god, they actually expect us to put that thing on our heads? Who knows how many of these unwashed muggleborns have lice or something. I could catch a diesease or something. Look at the state of it, they could at least get a new hat... one with a bit of class.' "Gardiner, Cleopatra ." Cleo winced as her name was called. Her parents were such a dramatic pair. Cleopatra of all names.. She walked up and picked up the hat after Thaniel had dropped it. She put it on lightly and screwed up her nose in distaste. 'Lets get this over with.' Now there is an ambitious one! Hello, my dear. You have some high aims to pursue, don't you? Your mind is set firmly on getting all that you desire. You're like a machine, programmed to do everything that you have found to be necessary to achieve your goals. With your practical cleverness and cunning you'll be more than welcome in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Scarlett Lee Jan 10 2004, 01:41 AM |
| Scarlett nevously stood with the other first years, Hogwarts was amazing! I have never seen anything like it before. 'Ofcourse you haven't!' Scarlett told herself, 'Your muggle born' Scarlett looked at her fellow student, like her they were always looked quite nervous. Except a group at the back, who stood apart from the group. 'I wonder they stand apart from us?' thought Scarlett a moment, but then but the thought out of her mind. It wasn't the time to think about that. Scarlett gazed around the hall, it was huge! With five tables taking up most of the room. One table was for the teacher and four for the student. Scarlett looked at the tables and then noticed that each were wearing different coloured ties. Each table must be for a different house. Scarlett had heard about houses from a few girls on the train. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Gryffindor. 'Stange names,' thought Scarlett, 'must find out where the names come from.' The girls had said Hufflepuff was for all the duffers the ones the other house rejected; but they were loyal. 'Doesn't sound to good' Ravenclaw was for those who were sharpest of mind; if you were in Ravenclaw it ment you were quite bright. 'Mum would like that house' Slytherin only took Pure-bloods; they were sly, cunning and evil...but Scarlett didn't really believe the girls. 'Wouldn't have me, i'm muggle born' And Gryffindor was for those who were brave; they were strong of mind and heary. "Dad would like that house, it's like him and people say i'm like him' "SCARLETT LEI" Scarlett snapped out of her thought. Her name had been called, her turn to be sorted. Scarlett took a deep breathe, she had decided to push her nervousness out of mind. Scarlett walked though her class, parting a path as she walked. She reached to sorting hat and for no reason smiled at it. Sitting down a teacher placed the hat on her head. 'Place me where i'm ment to be please' Hello! You seem like a friendly one, willing to stick up for your friends. That's a noble character trait. I see in you that you are a lot like your father even though I have never sat on his head. But from what I can tell, you inherited his sense of loyalty and trustworthiness. You don't display your courage in abundance, but I know that it's there. GRYFFINDOR is the right place for you to be. |
| Posted by: Sara Shadow Jan 10 2004, 01:13 PM |
| Standing in line waiting to be called for the sorting I tried not to appear nervous... I didn't know much about the individual houses, all I knew is I didn't want to be in Hufflepuff, a few girls told me that was the house for the duds... I didn't know much about the other three however.. I guess I should trust the hats judgement. "Sara Shadow!" I shook a little walking to the stool, trying to breathe deep... why was I so nervous? You're a bit of a dreamer, but that's not bad actually! Without dreams we are nothing, and you have the brains to know this. Your love for books will serve you well in RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Lei Jan 10 2004, 05:16 PM |
| Lei stood in the long line for what felt like years before the amount of people ahead of her started to dwindle. All of a sudden she began to get nervous. "What house am I going to be in? Will I see Chach, or Micro, or Kragey? I hope so. I hope i am put in Gryffindor." In no time she was on the stool, all eyes on her, and then she didn't remember a thing... Now you most certainly are a friendly one! You value your friendships highly and strike me as a very social little person. Haha! Of course! Which child would not want to stay up past curfew? With a family as nice as loving as yours you'll feel very at home in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Shaelynn Bree Jan 10 2004, 05:48 PM |
| Shaelynn sat calmly near her other pure-blooded friends. Names were being called left and right; Shaelynn was wondering when it was going to be her turn to place the original sortting hat atop her head. Bree, Shaelynn She walked up to the old hat sat on the stool and crazy enough, started talking to the hat. Please place me into Slytherin! I would love to stay with my friends and be placed in the same house as both of my parents! Please place me in Slytherin Shaelynn waited paitently for the hat to say the house she was destined for... Now, you surely have your life laid out before you. Quite ambitious, considering that you're a mere 11 years old. For someone as young as you you do have some strong opinions and seem to be rather spoilt. I'm sure that today's serpents will help you form your character and soften all those quite unflattering edges. You'll be in SLYTHERIN! ***ok i resent in the form - hope it works!  ***((OOC From the sorting hat: We got your form. In regards to your application, please remember that Harry Potter and his friends Ron and Hermione graduated from Hogwarts eight years ago. The world we role-play in is one where Hogwarts was destroyed in the final battle against Voldemort, and then rebuilt with donations from Lucius Malfoy. That said, we will be sorting you shortly.)) |

| *stands quietly watching carefully as the others slide up to the hat and place it on their heads* *slightly nervous she runs a slender hand threw her short cropped black hair...Silvery hazels twinkle in the candle light...waiting patiently for her name to be called* She hears it called from some where "Silverkat, Shae" *drops her hands and straightens her shoulders...and saunters up to the stool...lifts the hat settles herself on the stool and places the wonderous hat on her head......listens carefully as the hat whispers at her* Hello, my dear. Let's see where we will put you, shall we? Oh... yes... hmm... interesting... difficult... You'd fit into all the houses, you know? I see the desire to learn in you. I also see that you're a tad brave. You're clever enough to try and bend the rules. Maybe you could teach your housemates a few tricks? You'll surely do well in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Katrina Montague Jan 10 2004, 07:43 PM |
| *Katrina Montague stood around with the rest of the 'Unsorteds' as the other students officially branded them. She let out a deep sigh of disgust every time she was called that, she wasn't an aminal that needed to be marked with a ridiclious name. As the sorting continued, *Katrina Montague looked around the vast hall; looking at each house as she did so. Ravenclaw? Too boring. Gryffindor? Oh please. Hufflepuff? Hahahahaha! You're kidding, right? Slytherin? Better than the rest. It'll due. She thought as she stood there in the mass ocean of newly required magical people. "Katrina M. Montague." It's about bloody time. She thought, pushing her way through the crowd; trying her best not to touch or go near anyone she saw unfit to allow her presence. She sat down on the creaky old stool and slightly cringed when the old, rotten down hat touched her head. *Katrina Montague sat there, waiting to be judged by an inanimate object. Well, hello, my dear Katrina. I think I am almost sure where to put you without even having to look all too closely. You have many of the traits that Salazar values, yet you're lacking the final bit of ambition. But do not fear! Your housemates will give you a nudge in the right direction. You shall be a SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Margo J. Russell Jan 10 2004, 07:49 PM |
| Margo impatiently waits with her arms crossed in the back of the crowd. "How long does it take for that old musty hat to sort everyone anyway?" she asked herself. "Maybe I can-" her thoughts were suddenly interupted by the sound of her name. "Russell, Margo." She got through the crowd and up the few steps, "finally." she thought. She suddenly felt something being lightly dropped on her head. As she sat there, she waited for the hat to sort her into........ SLYTHERIN! *the sorting hat smiles contentedly, awaiting the next student* |
| Posted by: Morrigaina Jan 10 2004, 08:57 PM |
| Morrigaina walked into the Great Hall. As she eyes the four tables that were lined up in rows, she saw the banners above each. Gryffindor. Hufflepuff. Ravenclaw. Slytherin. As she came to the last table, she shuddered at the thoughts of the evilness that ran through the blood of many of the Slytherins. There's the hat. Dingy looking thing, isnt it? Oh well. I suppose it has more brains than I do. She walked over to where other 11 year olds were standing. It must be the unsorteds. The only ones left standing in the Hall. She neither felt nervous, nor sick, nor anxious. There was no way that the Hat would decline her. And whatever house she made, she knew it would be because of what her character truly was. All of a sudden, her name was called "Sluag, Morrigaina?". Morrigaina walked forward, and shoved the Hat on her head. "Do your worst" she whispered. You're always calm and collected, never losing your head. But you're not overly brave because of that. It's just your general attitude. You like it when the things around you function well and are more of a watcher than an interferer although you do interfere when you have good reason to do so. All of this makes for a well-rounded character. You'll do HUFFLEPUFF proud. |
| Posted by: Brett McKenzie Jan 10 2004, 09:00 PM |
| As Brett stood next to his classmates he decided it really wasn't worth listening to all of them be sorted, so he just stood and dazed off. Knowing that his name wouldn’t come for at least ten minutes, he considered sitting down and taking a nap on the closest table, ten minutes was better than nothing. Finally he heard his name, "MacKanzie, Brett" the Professor had pronounce it wrong, as usual. "McKenzie!" he muttered under his breath as he walked forward to take a seat on the stool. Hmm... difficult to sort. One of those really hard cases. You have brains, you think a bit like a Gryffindor, but on the other hand I can also see some Slytherin characteristics in you. I do think that you'll do best in SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Mercedes Layne Jan 10 2004, 09:32 PM |
| (OOC: Okay, I resubmitted my form- here you go!) Mercedes stood in line with the rest of the first years in the Great Hall. She gazed up at the beautiful ceiling and realized that it mirrored the sky outside. Professor McGonagall began calling out the names of students to be sorted. As she watched each one's house name called out through the Great Hall and cheers erupt from the tables, she smiled. She couldn't wait to be sorted. Yet she was slightly nervous at the same time, because in a few minutes, her family for seven years at Hogwarts would be determined. Finally, she heard the professor call, "Neyhart, Mercedes!" She walked up the the stool, butterflies in her stomach, and placed the hat on her head, thinking 'Please let me be in the right house! Please let my mother be proud of me!' And then she heard a voice in her head... You would do well in most any House, Mercedes, but I think your courage stands out to me the most. There is nothing braver than charting your own course in life, and you have certainly made plans to do that! I'll put you in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Myrsil_Teloh Jan 10 2004, 11:13 PM |
| Myrsil had been to banquets with as many people like this, but never had she seen such decorations as were before her eyes now! Wonder and curiosity overwelmed as she gazed around at the floating candles, the awesome table in front that must belong to the various teachers, but most of all the inchanted cieling. No painting in her castle could have compared to it. The stars were extremely bright this evening, she evevn spotted the planet Mars, Son of Maia, the Goddess whom she so worshipped. "Teloheim, Jarept Myrsilania," came a voice from the front of the Great Hall. Myrsil was unnacustomed to being adressed like this so it took a few minutes for her to reconize her name. She walked up to the little stool that held the Sorting Hat. I'm so glad I had a friend to tell me about the rules of this place,she thought. or I never would have been able to know my way around! The moment she put her sorting hat on a voice whispered in her head, "What would you liketo be when you grow up?" I love animals, and dueling, so I suppose I would like to be an Auror, or take care of Magical Creatures. Is there such a thing as a Female Auror? It takes alot of courage to do what you believe in and you seem like a brave little girl. I think someday you'llmake an excellent Auror. Better be.... GRYFFINDOR |
| Posted by: Mia Thompson Jan 10 2004, 11:21 PM |
| As Mia walked down the walkway of the great Hall to where the sorting Hat sat, she felt butterflies forming in her stomach, Please make it be Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, please Gryffindor or Ravenclaw, I know I'm not brave enough to be worthy of Gryffindor but I am certainly loyal. Please, if Ravenclaw is too much to ask because, eventhough I am a great student that enjoys learning and working hard, I may not be smart enough. Please just make it anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin . . . Mia was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she almost didn't hear her name be called . . . "Mia Thompson!" Oh boy this is it . . . She very nervously sat down on the stool as the sorting hat was placed on her head. Sorting, sorting, sorting, keep those students sorting. Sorting, sorting, sorting... SORTING! Whoooo hoooo! This is sort of fun, you know? Haha, "sort" of fun. Hee hee hee, I crack myself up... *sigh* Well, let's get back to it, shall we? Looking into your mind, I see all the qualities of.... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Rowen Royal Jan 10 2004, 11:33 PM |
| Rowen waited in the line and sighed. She wanted to be sorted. Now. Tapping her foot and looking at the Slytherin table seeing her cousin Rowen held her head high and stopped acting so impatient. Royal, Rowen." She heard her name called and walked to the stoll and sat down. I better get Slytherin Awwww, ickle dear! You seem to be missing that warm spark in you! Detached and cold, you certainly are in a dire need of friends. These friends you will find in SLYTHERIN, where they will welcome you in open arms and with the same goal to accomplish whatever they choose! |
| Posted by: Renee Velmont Jan 11 2004, 12:10 AM |
| Renee stands at the front of the group, slighltly anxious but genraly calm. She tilts her head up and surveys the sorting hat. It is thuroghly disgusting with patches, stains and a mouth. Any hat with a mouth should be avoided. There is a large kid to her left brething heavily. She scrunches her nose in disgust. "Renee Velmont" The older woman in green calls. I better god-damn well get Slytherin. I will. Why do I even bother to ask? I suppose I could tolerate Gryffindor... save for the valliance. Please refer to the Sorting Rules, where it states that no student is to post here until they have recieved their acceptance letter. I'm sorry, but you will have to wait until you've recieved your letter before I will sort you. Please, do not make me repeat this again. |
| Posted by: Emmaline Bryant Jan 11 2004, 12:27 AM |
| 'Well', thought Emma, with a glem,as she walked in the chamber 'here is where all great pranks start!' as she was thinking of all the pranks she could pull; she saw that the lady, Prof. McGonagall, had walked back out to usher them in to the Great Hall, or at least that's what she heard it was called. 'Look at me,' she thought to her self,'front of the line, YES! But also one of the short ones, well at least everyone will know who I am after this cermoney.' As they all walked in, she saw a hat and much to her amazment, it sang of the traits of the house. When it finish, she her the Prof. say, "When I call your name come put on the hat and, sit on the stool. Bryant, Emmaline" She walked foward, beemed at the four tables, and pulled the hat over her head. Well, it was more like it fell to her shoulders, but hey! So, you want to be a Hogwarts student? Ready to take the plunge into the great unknown? Want to learn how to cast a few spells, mix a few potions, turn a raven into a writing desk? Good news! You've come to the right hat, and now you'll be going to the right House.... GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Hallie Kennedy Jan 11 2004, 12:33 AM |
| Hallie walked into the great hall. As she looked up at the ceiling she realised that the ceiling had been enchanted to look like the sky outside. "Holy!!! This school is even more beautiful than I ever imagined!!" she thought. She walked up and anxiously awaited for the ceremony to begin. She could tell she was not the only one that was really nervous. "Please, call my name I can't stand to wait much longer!" she thought. So, they started with the A's. " Oh man this may take a while!" She started to daze off imagining what it would be like in each different house. She was suddenly startled when she heard her name, "Kennedy, Hallie" "Ok Hallie," she thought to herself as she walked up to the three legged stool, "the moment of truth. I've long awaited this moment!" *sigh* Okay, for the last time. Please do NOT post in this thread unless you have already recieved your acceptance letter... No letter, no sorting. Got it? Thank you. |
| Posted by: Keaira O'Riley Jan 11 2004, 01:28 AM |
| Kia stood among the other students, listening to the sorting with great anticipation. When she heard her name called she approached the stool, nervously. "Keaira O'Riley!" Creative, inquisitive .....hmmm, and a heart that searches for truth.....RAVENCLAW for you! |
| Posted by: thaniel_fox Jan 11 2004, 02:30 AM |
| Thaniel wasn't nervous. He heard As and Bs and Cs go up. It wasn't long till it was his turn. He knew that whatever house he was in it would be better than nothing. "Fox, Nathaniel". Thaniel froze. Who gave them his real name?! His name was Thaniel, even his PARENTS called him that. Still, trying to not make a fool of himself, he walked up calmly and felt the hat drop onto his head. All Thaniel could do was wait, while this MOP read his thoughts saying "Hurry up. I'm no Harry Potter. I don't have to take all day." Let's see... I can see through your past... and present... And I will decide your future... You've had much freedom, and yet you haven't gone too far astray. Your future belongs in SLYTHERIN, for in that House you will not only follow your dreams but succeed in catching them! |
| Posted by: Mathew_Liante Jan 11 2004, 08:51 AM |
| Mathew crept back to the Unsorted Crowd unnoticed. He took a chair and sat, grimacing. He looked around the Hall as he waited...This was very bored. He then looked up. "Yes, just I expected..." Mathew said looking at the ceiling which now showed large clouds of snow falling quickly. He couldn't deny that at this moment he was a very bit nervous. What if he was placed in THAT house? What would his father do? What would he do? "I need a house that can let me do the things that I want....And I want: Not the Bravest, Nor Loyalty, I want something to challenge me...and to give me things I want....Ambition and Cleverness," Mathew thought deep in his mind. Still, just then, Hagrid's voice echoed around the hall. "Mathew Liante!" he said looking directly at the crowd. Mathew quickly stood up, and walked to the stool. He sat down, his feet touching the floor, and the Hat covered his eyes. Then Mathew thought, "Sorting Hat...My Fate rests with you... Please follow my wish...Not In...Hufflepuff." OCC NOTE: Mathew Lacroix Has Changed His Account To Mathew Liante. (thank you, Mathew) Determined, sure of yourself, but a little too proud of the purity of your blood. Quite resourceful too! Well, there is only one place for you my dear, SLYTHERIN! |

| Emerald stands a little straghter as her name is called. She looks at the teachers at the table in front of her, and tacks a deep breath. Walking towards the stool Emerald suddenly tribs on her robes and stimbles forward, getting her balance Emerald hikes her robes to her knees and storms over to where the hat is waiting, plonking herself down Emerald sits up straight as the hat is placed on her head. Your love of people of all kinds, as well as your willingness to serve- hmmm- and a bit of the imp, I see! Well, Helga's house for you! HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Desiree Claudette Dale Jan 11 2004, 11:56 AM |
| Desiree stared in awe at the ceiling which had a deep blue tinge to it, stars blinked back at her from between a swirling silvery mist. "I heard they're bewitched to look like the night sky," the girl beside her had been talking animatedly eversince they'd met aboard the train and Desiree had only listened with half her attention. Peeling her eyes away from the ceiling she stole a quick glance at the Slytherin table then at the Ravenclaw's. Her whole being swelled, her mind throbbed with ambition. She was determined to. She sent a smug smile towards no one in particular in the Slyherin table. Batting her eyelashes innocently she smiled at Serena Latisha Day who waved at her from the Gryffindor table. She then turned to Destiny Shadows and Nikkie who we're busily watching frm the Hufflepuff table. "Dale, Desiree Claudette," a respectable looking woman wearing spectacles boomed her name. Desiree stepped forward confidently taking her time knowing that there were about a hundred pairs of eyes staring. She held the hat for a few moments. What was she supposed to do again? Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Desiree placed the hat ontop of her head letting it slide over her eyes. Ahh, there is a lot to contemplate in your mind. Give me a moment to think, will you? Zzzzzz.... Zzzzzz... Ack? You're still here? *whispers* I wasn't dozing was I? I WAS?!? Er, well if you promise not to tell anyone, I'll put you in...Wait a tic, I see you are hoping for Slytherin? I think you'll be much happier in.... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Celta Jan 11 2004, 12:29 PM |
| “Amethyst, Celta.” Celta walked up through the crowed. She was nervous, true, who wouldn’t be? All the while she couldn’t help thinking ‘I don’t care what house I’m in, Just as long as I become stronger to protect my sisters. Please that’s all I’m asking.’ She sat on the stool thinking over and over ‘I want to protect my sisters. I want to become stronger.’ She felt the Hat fall onto her head. ‘I don’t care what house I’m in, I just want to protect my sisters.’ Hmm, loyalty is strong in you. And you seem to have an unusual quality of calmness, even under stress.... Ahhh, of course! GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Unisity Jan 11 2004, 04:05 PM |
| Unisity was standing there watching the last two students get sorted. She looked around at all the people boring their eyes at all the new first years. She turned from them to look at all the new frist years around her like hersefl, they all looked as if they were about to throw up or pass out. one girl nearly stepped on her twice because she couldn't stop shaking, but actually she wasn't nervous at all, see as she was just new to the very fact magic even existing in the world just a few weeks ago, mostly she was just curious as to what happens once you enter the old, tattered, wise Sorting Hat. She 'd worried what to say or whst it say to her or what was she supposed to do once she was there because from all the other students all she heard were mumbles of their conversation with she guessed was the hat. She was so concerned in thoughts that she realized that her name had actually been called out twice before she said, " Trinkle, Unisity are you here?", " Oh sorry thats me". She walked swift and calm to the chair and sat there until the Hat covered her eyes and she waited very patiently as waiting for something very exciting to happen. Loyal to friends, a dash of bravery, true to yourself..... Yes, HUFFLEPUFF is the house for you! |
| Posted by: Kyra Kiran Jan 11 2004, 05:05 PM |
| Kyra slowly walked into the great hall, she stared around shaking. All she could see were endless people sitting at the four house table and the other first years standing in front of her. Just about when she was about to faint from fear, she heard someone call her name... Kiran,Kyra as she walked up to the hat she swore her legs were numb. Being brave as she is however she sat down placed the sorting hat on her head and prayed that she would go into the right house.... (I'm very sorry, but I can't find a form with the name "Kyra Kiran" could you have submitted it under a different spelling? I will be happy to sort you when this is cleared up!) |
| Posted by: Toril Woodward Jan 11 2004, 07:51 PM |
| "Woodward, Toril!" Toril Woodward jumped at the sound of her name. She looked around trying to find the source of the cry. Knowing she was probably in trouble again, Toril tried to find the man who had called out her name so fiercely in the Great Hall. She noticed her fellow classmates looking around, finally finding the girl who was standing there, looking around as if she were lost. "Are you Toril?" a boy asked her roughly. Toril gave him a look as if to say 'Yeah...you got a problem' before he spoke again, "They want you up there for the sorting." THE SORTING!" Toril smacked her hand against her head. She had totally forgotten she was finally here, at Hogwarts, ready to start her seven year adventure! With a nod towards the boy she walked away from him, patting him on the head with a smile as she did so. She could hear the boy grumble before she walked up to the dais where the hat was placed on her head. "Gryffindor....If I get placed in Slytherin I'll go home," Toril thought to herself as she waited for the hat's judgement. My balogna has a first name, it's S-O-R-T-I-N-G, my balogna has a second name, it's H-A-T-er... yes, well that doesn't sound right, does it? Nevermind. I think with a personality like yours, you'll do very well in... GRYFFINDOR!! |
| Posted by: Sorting Hat Jan 11 2004, 10:06 PM |
| I will NOT say this again. Do NOT post in this thread until I have sent your acceptance letter. Is that clear? Read the sorting rules, they are pinned in here as well. If you can't follow a simple rule such as that, then perhaps you shouldn't be sorted anyways. -A very frustrated Hat |
| Posted by: Raine Jan 11 2004, 10:24 PM |
| Raine fidgeted as student after student put on The Hat. Her stomach was fluttering unceremoniously. I really wish I had a book with me right now, or anything else to do. This is nervewracking! she thought. Please let me get sorted to Gryffindor or Ravenclaw... I think I know some of the people who are already in those houses. Besides, my parents will be so disappointed if I don't. "Lin, Raine!" a voice called out. Raine was so into her thoughts that she jumped at the sudden statement of her name. Straightening her posture, she strode up to the Hat. Well, it's now or never. Deftly picking up the Hat, she placed it on her head. Hey, do you like charades? Try and guess this one. No, it's not an ice cream cone, try again. No! It's not a funnel, either! Focus now... I know you'll get it. No, not a hippopotamus, where did you get that from? *sigh* Okay, okay ... so hat's aren't very good at charades. I'll just tell you, all right? You'll do well in.... RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: Caony Jan 12 2004, 10:48 AM |
| Caony stood in the sorting line, trying to tell her stomach to behave. She shouldn't be this nervous, she had always known she was going to Hogwarts. No...what made her nervous was the house she might be put in. With her family's history...okay her father's history, she told herself, she might get put into Slytherin. She glanced warily over to that table. There was nothing wrong with the Slytherin House members...she just didn't think she'd fit in very well. She shuffled forward in line, absentmindedly chewing on her lower lip and twirling a strand of her long blond hair around her finger. A single word chanted over and over in her head. Maybe if she thought about it hard enough, the sorting hat would over look all other choices. Still shuffling forward, the single whispered word growing to a shout in her mind "....ravenclaw...Ravenclaw...RAVENCLAW...please oh please oh please....". She was almost to the front of the line. Her destiny sat there waiting for her in the form of an innocent looking hat. "Well girl", she told herself with a mental shake, "this is it. Your future is made tonight. It is how you deal with the answer you are given that will set you apart from everyone else." Caony looked up into the Professor's eyes....she was ready.... My dear child, your life has been pretty amazing, your parent's have done a good job in raising you. Your strong morals as well as family ethics are what others strive towards, and your intelligence is also very high. I think that RAVENCLAW is the house for you. |

| Sarah stood in the great hall. She was nervous about being sorted. Her entire family had been sorted into Gryffindor and she really didn't want to disappoint them. "Moonlight, Sarah." Professor McGonagall called 'Ok, here goes nothing.' Sarah thought She walked up to the front and sat on the stool. Someone place the sorting hat on her. 'Please don't put me in Slytherin.' Ms, Moonlight, are you enoying Hogwarts thus far? I hope so, because after I sort you, you may never wish to leave. I'm sending you to the best and friendliest house there is. You're not brave enough for a Gryffindor, nor cunning enough for Slytherin. Your intelligence may earn you a spot in Ravenclaw, but that well-rounded personality and goos sense when presented with danger will suit you well in HUFFLEPUFF! |
| Posted by: Hotaru Tomoe Jan 12 2004, 12:29 PM |
| Hotaru waited glaring at all the other first years untill her name was called. She walked up and the hat was put over her head. 'You best put me in Slytherin, or else you will meet my glaive, ofcourse I couldn't bring it to hogwarts, but I promise you if you put me in any other house then Slytherin, I will make sure you meet my glaive, and I never break a promise!' Hotaru thought with a smirk on her lips. ((OOC: Hello there, love. Hat here. I'm afraid I am going to ask you to re-do your application before we can sort you. We don't allow Sailor Scouts/Senshi here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, nor do we tolerate sharp weapons of any kind. If you'd kindly re-do your application to not include any of the above and resubmit it, we'll see about getting you sorted somewhere.)) |

| Jane was very nervous, after so much waiting, what if she didn't get in?? what if they kept calling everybody in the line, and they forgott about her??, and if it was a mistake and she wasn't supposed to be there?? A lot of this thoughts passed through her mind, and as she waited, she started to look around, and saw that everybody seemed very nice people (with the exception, of course, of the slytherin people), and she hoped to make good friends at Hogwarts. The professor kept calling names, and the line was everytime shorter and shorter, until... Smaug, Jane!" J: This is it!!!, ok...relax.... (!!!) She walked forward, and sitted. As the hat came closer to her head, she kept repeating in her head: Gryffindor!!, Gryffindor!! please let me be in Gryffindor!!.... Hello Ms. Smaug. In your heart of hearts, you seem to feel like you are alone. I wonder why that is... Still, I feel we should put you somewhere where you can make lots of friends. Hufflepuff would give you that, but if your mind sings for me the right tune, I hear that you might need something more... Those Lions are fiercely loyal to their fellow house mates, you know. It's settled then. You shall go to GRYFFINDOR! |

| She sits paitently waiting for her name to be called. Her hands are folded on her lap, bouncing her right leg, and chewing at her lower lip. She is nervous, and is wondering what house she will be placed in. She has been anxiously awaiting this day since she got her letter. "Hunter Mcoy!" She jumps at the sound of her name oh boy .. it's okay .. i'm alright .. they just called my name .. i'm cool .. good .. yea she thinks Her green eyes are wide with excitment. She stands up and walks slowly to the sorting hat. Her stomach is all in knots but smiles becasue she knows that this is one of the most proudest moments of her life. That she is a wizard! She sits and glances around the room, she then squeezes her eyes shut and waits .. as the tatered old hat is placed on her head Mmm, I see you have set quite a lofty goal for your life after school. One that will require a great dedication to your studies. I only hope that you get to know your stance on rules soon, or I fear you may not succeed in your dreams. The best place for you to learn about those, and the most likely house for you to realize your ambitions seems to be.. RAVENCLAW! |

| Shunsuke sits there very nervouse looking at all the other students pass by and get sorted out "Ravenclaw" he hears in the background while he is deep into his thoughts about what the outcome of all this will be... "Shunsuke Virus" he hears being called, he slowly and excited walks up to the sorting hat as it is placed on his head rushing threw his head are a million very nervouse thoughs "plz plz let me make alot of friends at hogwartz" You're a curious little person and want to experiment with all kinds things and take them apart to make something else with them. That makes you a creative little child. Your family is a tad odd for pureblood wizards but there's nothing wrong with that! It made you a very bubbly and extremely friendly person. You get too easily over-excited though. So you need calm and quiet surroundings to counter that. In HUFFLEPUFF you'll be happy. |
| Posted by: Ava Matherson Jan 12 2004, 03:31 PM |
| After what seems like hours, Ava's name was finally called. Taking a breath, she walked up to the stool. Before she sat down, Ava looked around the hall at the 4 Tables wondering which one she will soon be sitting at. The hat was placed on her head and she awaied the hat's decision. Let's see what we have here... Oh... Very interesting... Very complex character. It's really hard to sort you but I will try. As a pureblood, you're familiar with the prejudices that the ones of your kind harbour against Muggle-borns. I do not quite see whether you agree with your ancestors or not though. Do they not frown at your love for Muggle sports? But be that as it may, you have a very good sense of priorities even though you are still so young. You have the best of all houses and only very few of their weaknesses. I do think that you're quite the ambitious little one. The serpents will help you rein in your terrible temper. To SLYTHERIN you go! |
| Posted by: Cody Griffin Jan 12 2004, 03:43 PM |
| I walked into the great hall. The tables were filled with food. I was very anxious to find out what house I'd be sorted into. then I heard my name called I ran I couldn't wait! I sat down the whole time praying Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahh, so you already know at the age of 11 that you want to become a professor at Hogwarts? I assure you that you will love it here. Students tend to fall in love with this place and return here as teachers to be able to explore more of the castle's secrets. Oh but I digress! I apologise for taking this stroll down Memory Lane. It must come with age. So let's see what else I see in your head... Hmm... Yes, indeed. You do seem to love heavy tomes of books, don't you? Well, that's a sure sign that you're a RAVENCLAW! |
| Posted by: William DeLuca Jan 12 2004, 04:10 PM |
| William watched as the other students were called to the front of the hall to be sorted. "William DeLuca!" He nervously approached the stool to be sorted. You were a bookish little boy before you got your letter? Hmm... Bookish AND interested in sports? Bookish yet unwilling to sit still in a classroom? Hmm... Well, you sure have a sense for justice. Not to mention that you're interested in Flying. That shows me that you'll not be studious enough for Ravenclaw, but GRYFFINDOR will welcome you. |
| Posted by: Midnight Jan 12 2004, 04:20 PM |
| Midnight walked into the great hall and was in awe at the sights around her. The cieling was enchanted to look like the nights sky, there was lightning flashing through it, making her just a little uneasy. There is nothing to be scared of, I can handle anything that will come my way! There were four long tables filled with students. At each table sat a different house, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and, Slytherin. She could tell by the banners hanging over the tables which was which. The Slytherin table gave her the chills as she looked into the eyes of the students at that table. She quickly glanced away and walked with the other students to the front of the huge hall. At the front of the massive room there sat the head table, she noticed a stool sitting there and a professor dressed in green standing next to it holding an old looking hat! Surely that can not be the sorting hat, it looks like an old raggedy hat The old Professor called the first name. A little girl came forward and sat down on the stool. The professor placed the hat on the girls head and then it yelled out "Hufflepuff!" The students seated at the Hufflepuff table began to cheer for thier new house mate. The professor called out several more names and the hat sorted them to thier new houses. Finally, the Professor called out "Blakk, Midnight!" She held her head up high and walked up to the stool and sat down. Whatever the house decided would be for the best she knew! She sat there anxiously waiting for the hat to decide her fate. Where will it put me? Please, anywhere but Slytherin! The hat decided her fate and was getting ready to announce it to the room. Who will it be? Ah, the wind in your hair when you're soaring over the Quidditch Pitch... Yes, this is a thought that you like. You also seem to look forward to learning how to duel. Yes, the dear old hat sees such things! Indeed, you're very eager to learn all those spells that will help you in battle. You're a brave little girl, but not overly so. Yet I think that you belong in GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Leiko Jan 12 2004, 04:30 PM |
| Leiko stood in the vast group of students, not paying attention to any of the mindless babble going on around her, or at the sorting. Her attention, as usual, was focused completely on her drawing, this time one of a large dragon. She was in the middle of shading when she heard her named called. "Bakura, Leiko" She jumped and mentally cursed herself out in Japanese for not paying attention, but quickly hid her sketch pad and walked up. After the sorting hat was put on her head, she prayed she wouldn't get put anywhere where she would be surrounded by mindless idiots who wouldn't know or respect real artist talent if it bit them in the butt. If she did, well, in the immortal words of Thomas Jefferson, "A little rebellion every now and then is a good thing," words which described her personality perfectly. You've gone through a very hard life for your mere 11 years of age, my dear little one. If I could I would hug you. You could use many hugs. I do think that your rebellious streak has its origins in you having been without the security and love of a family. We'll have to counter that and make sure that you'll be in a loving and friendly environment. There is only one house that can help quieten your troubled spirits. HUFFLEPUFF will make you feel loved and wanted. (ooc: I have to remind you that all first-years are to be 11 years old. The reasons why many of the soon-to-be third-years and fourth-years and even some of the second-years are older than they should technically be no longer apply. All students that are sorted from this sorting on will start their education at the age of 11--just like in the books. Please keep that in mind ) |
| Posted by: Zai Jaganshi Jan 12 2004, 05:25 PM |
| Zai sat in the back of the large group of students, writing Japanese on the back of her hand...a habit she’d gotten from her friend Leiko. She always had to have her hands busy, no matter what she was doing...so she always made sure she had something to write with wherever she went. Of course, her mind never rested on one subject for long. As she finished the end of the Kanji for “wind,” she began thinking about the story she was in the process of writing, wondering if she’d ever get the opportunity to finish it. She took a lot of pride in her ability to blend her words together to create the notebooks upon notebooks of novels she’d kept for years...She didn’t know what she would do if she couldn’t write. Writing was all she’d done for the past few years, and she was pretty darn good at it, if she did say so herself... Just as she was congratulating herself on her literary masterpieces, she heard her name called... “Jaganshi, Zai.” The voice startled her, causing her to smudge the edge of the Kanji for “darkness” on her hand. She frowned, quickly wiping the ink away with her sleeve as she approached the Sorting Hat. When the hat was placed on her head, she found herself wondering about which house she’d get. She hadn’t really thought about which one she wanted, but she was pretty sure she didn’t Hufflepuff. She’d heard that people often laughed at Hufflepuffs, and she didn’t want to have to hurt anybody...she didn’t want to get expelled for violence like she had at her other schools. She knew she had a lot to gain from Hogwarts... As far as the other houses went, she didn’t care much, though Gryffindor seemed a bit too cocky to her for some reason... She knew as long as she was surrounded by students that could at least spell correctly, she’d be happy. But would she get into the same house as Leiko, or end up actually having to make friends with other cretins- err, people...? Your little head is full of thoughts! Let me skim through it all... This will only take a moment. You have quite a practical way of thinking, little one. One might think that you fit into Ravenclaw at first sight, but you're not fond enough of studying. No, you possess a different kind of smartness. Your mind is busy thinking about what matters in life and what does not. You have your priorities straight. You're strong in mind and quite analytical and practical. For some reason that I cannot quite fathom--all those little things that neither you nor I can put into words--I have a feeling that your heart lies with SLYTHERIN! |
| Posted by: Renee Velmont Jan 12 2004, 05:36 PM |
| Renee stands at the front of the group, slighltly anxious but genraly calm. She tilts her head up and surveys the sorting hat. It is thuroghly disgusting with patches, stains and a mouth. Any hat with a mouth should be avoided. There is a large kid to her left brething heavily. She scrunches her nose in disgust. "Atticus-Velmont, Renee" The older woman in green calls. I better get Slytherin. Please Slytherin. I would have to leave if I got huffelpuff. Please Slytherin. though I do suppose it wouldn't be that hard to be #1 in Huffelpuff, but no. Slytherin. I will. Why do I even bother to ask? I suppose I could tolerate Gryffindor... save for the valliance. You're quite ambitious for such a young child. Your interests are far spread, and you do have the brains to achieve what you want. You want to be successful and usually see to it that whatever you touch will benefit yourself the most. You don't like stupidity in others and are always good for an argument in which you will take the other person's argumentation apart and show them the plot-holes in their story. I appreciate that you don't like breaking rules. Finding loopholes requires much for effort and cunning, doesn't it? Well, you certainly like challenges like that. All in all I think that you'll do just splendidly in the very house that you want. SLYTHERIN! (ooc: I have to remind you that all first-years are to be 11 years old. The reasons why many of the soon-to-be third-years and fourth-years and even some of the second-years are older than they should technically be no longer apply.

| Posted by: Drake Fireheart Jan 12 2004, 05:44 PM |
| Fireheart stood at the back of his fellow students. They were all bunched together, talking loudly, some whispering. Many of them looked as if they were going to get sick and others were excited, and hyper. He noticed some looked around with malice while other looked around with a friendly gaze. Some were just to preoccupied with their nerves to look at the other people. He glanced at the sorting hat which was currently sorting someone. He watched this person as they were sorted. He wished he could see their eyes, for people eyes are what show into a person. He couldn't help but be slightly worried himself about the sorting. He didn't worry about what house he would get sorted into, for all the houses have their good qualities, he was just worried, just because. His icy blue eyes, that had once again been studying the crowd waiting to be sorted, moved to look at the hat, his head followed slowly behind. He noticed it was now alone again at the stool, and then it called his name. He strode up through the students, his arms folded across his chest. He unfolded his arms and picked up the hat. He placed it on his head as he sat down and awaited its call. Please, he thought, almost coldy whispered in his head, pick me a good house. Aha! Oh, sorry, did I shout so loudly? Ahem... Well, it's just that I already know where to put you, dear boy! Isn't it nice? But I'll tell you why you'll be in that house if you don't mind, just so you'll know what I see in this head of yours. You're not too big on rules, aren't you? Sure, you see that some rules are needed, but you wouldn't mind having a bit fewer things to pay attention to. Although you say that you mostly keep your temper under control, you lose that control when threatened. Hot-blooded little boy you are. Freedom is important to you. You're not afraid of danger. And on top of it all, you're proud and very noble in that you took care of your grandmother even though she's been mean to you. You have a golden heart deep down and will fit splendidly into GRYFFINDOR! (ooc: If you could let your character turn 12 a few weeks into the first term, I'd feel very much obliged as all first-years will start their education at the age of 11. Other than that, you state that you're over 6 feet tall already. That's highly unlikely. You'll have 7 years at Hogwarts to grow up. No need to rush it. ) |
| Posted by: Meaikoh_Takashi Jan 12 2004, 07:29 PM |
| Meaikoh Takashi rode on the train, staring out the window, and dreaming of brave deeds and bold sorcerers, like in the adventure books that she had read. A witch passed with a trolley full of good things to eat, but Meaikoh was too nervous to keep anything down. The children around her spoke happily, and she tried to look interested and smile when they spoke to her, but the truth was, she was anxious about one thing: her sorting. When the train stopped, she gathered up her baggage. Once they arrived at the school, she went to the feast in the Great Hall. Slowly, slowly she watched as each child went up to the sorting hat and was sent off to their new house. She gazed around idly. It would be nice to be in Gryffindor...the banner is so noble. I could wear it proudly. Or maybe, Ravenclaw...The people would be smart, if the sorting hat's song is of any indication. Slytherin looks foul. I wouldn't say no to Hufflepuff, but I don't know if I could be truly happy in that house. "Meaikoh Takashi!" Her name was called. Cautiously, she made her way up to the sorting hat. Hello, dear! You're a cute one I can tell. A dreamer, not too ambitious, not too brave, not too studious. Indeed, I do think that you're a nicely balanced little person. You don't have anything of what you have in abundance, but you've got enough of everything to make you a clever and friendly little person to have around. You always keep your calm and listen to both sides of a story, trying to settle an argument peacefully. You're a tad insecure about your own skills though. Never fear! In HUFFLEPUFF you'll see that you're not the only one to have such issues. And your fellow Hufflepuffs will help you to build up some much needed self-confidence. |
| Posted by: Avalon Rose Jan 12 2004, 08:02 PM |
| Avalon stood in line with the other unsorted students in the Great Hall. She was very nervous, though she really had no reason to. She didn't really have a house preference. Her Dad and both sisters had been Gryffindors, and her mum was a Ravenclaw- but she didn't mind one way of the other where she was sorted. Some students were talking with their friends, and some, like her, didn't know anybody yet. Turning around to face a blond girl behind her, she said, "Hi- I'm Ava." "Hi," replied the other girl, "I'm Laurel." Avalon and Laurel talked for a few minutes, and Ava made the girl laugh, to lighten the mood a bit. Then she turned back around and started paying attention to the names being called. She would be up soon. Her heart started beating hard, and her hands were getting clammy. She turned and caught the eye of a very good looking second or third year Gryffindor boy. She smiled; he smiled back. 'Oh, good,' she thought, relieved, 'I look approachable!' When the Professor finally called out, "Bryant, Avalon!" she put on a smile despite her anxiety, trying to slow her heartbeat, and walked confidently up to the stool. Setting the hat carefully on her head, she thought, "Please put me in a house where I'll make lots of friends! Please- you're my favorite hat in the world!" Then, realizing what she'd just said sounded incredibly stupid, laughed at herself. She then heard a voice in her head... Hello! You're another one of those really friendly children I get to sort this year, I must say. You're enthusiastic, a bit hot-tempered and generally a really funny person that's nice to have around. Your open-minded personality allows you to quickly make friends. I also see that you wouldn't mind breaking a rule every now and then, you little trouble-maker you. But that's fine because you have a really noble streak there. You stand up for those that are weaker than you and want to make a difference in someone's life. All that adds up to make you a splendid addition to GRYFFINDOR! |

| Rain was coming to the front of the Great Hall. She was very ecxiting to get sorted. "Clearweather,Rain" She been waiting for this moment ever since she was born. All her family ended up in Gryffindor or Ravenclaw.One of her cousin became a Slytherine. Everyone was most terriffied because HALF of Slytherine ended up as death-eaters......so in the end he became one and ended up in Azkaband.' Death- Eaters' ...was the name she hated the most...Voldemort.....She hated him always.She was to become an Aruror.That was her plan "Clearweather,Rain"said the teacher again.. She jumped at the excitment of her name.She got up slowly with pride in her.....She taught as she sat on the stoole 'as long it is not Slytherin' She felt the hat spring to life on her head.. Sorry, honey, but we don't seem to have your sorting form. Are you sure that you filled it in and submitted it?

| *curtsies to the Sorting Hat* *curtsies to Professor Dumbledore* Excuse me. So sorry to be back in this hectic time of sorting, but I thought this might be the easiest way for everyone to handle this. I was sorted back on page two, but due to a few complications with my name, I was sorted a few days after the students around me. Those students all had their tags switched, but because I was sorted late, mine was not changed, and is still unsorted. So please Professor Dumbledore, Sir, would you be so kind and change my tag? *puts on the big pleading doe eyes* Here is a copy of my sorting:
Also, perhaps there could be an organized way for skipped students such as myself to get their tags changed? Should we all re-post in the sorting form? It might get confussing for Mr. Hat... Just voicing my concerns, since I've noticed there are several of us! Thank you everyone for your time and dedication! And especially for your patience with us clueless 1st years.  |
| Posted by: Drex Hextor Jan 12 2004, 08:15 PM |
| Drex stood in the middle of the crowd. He felt lost, confused and overwhelmed. He had never been in the midst of so many people before, let alone all people of his own age. The sights, smells, and feelings floating about the great hall overloaded his senses. Quietly he stood. He had been told of the Sorting Hat and he wasn't to keen on having something read his mind. Despite how Drex went about analyzing everyone else, he prefered to remain quite a mystery. Although it is just a hat, it's not like it will go tell anyone else, he figured. Many names were called and the crowd gradually thinned, to all but 15 or 20 kids. Finally, his name was called... Hextor, Drex! Drex was stunned, even though he knew his name was to be called, he still wasn't expecting it. Everything here was so foreign. It definitely wasn't the streets, and it definitely wasn't Krystela's house! Quickly, so the others wouldn't notice his surprise, he started walking towards the Hat, and almsot tripped over a beautiful girl whom he had caught himself staring at more than once during their wait, and more than once caught her staring back at thim. Drex blushed profusely and chuckled, his eyes almost closed completely with embarassment. The girl shouted "Hey watch you step!" "oh... sorry... I didn't mean to disturb such beauty on my first day here... I'm very sorry!"  and scrambling back to his feet started into brisk jog towards the hat, to make up for the delay his clumsiness had created. The beautiful girl didn't know what to say, and just blushed and smiled staring at the ground, more than flattered.Approaching the Hat, thoughts rushed through Drex's mind. From this point on his life would choose 1 of 4 directions.... this uncertainty excited Drex, but simultaneously frightened him... what if his path led him to misfortune and despair.... it was too late now. With a sudden movement, as if to catch himself off guard he thrusted the Hat upon his head, and waited in anticipation for its decision.  You sure lived the life of a grown-up person already, even though you were hardly ten years old when you had to take care of yourself almost all on your own. But this has made you strong and brave. You stand up for the ones that you love and have a little bit of a temper too. You'll be a GRYFFINDOR! |
| Posted by: Jagged Seele Jan 12 2004, 08:24 PM |
| Jag strode into the great hall, trying to exude confidence, and not entirely succeeding. He new all the wizarding schools had their own ways of sorting students into houses, and that none of them were dangerous. But 'not dangerous' did not necessarily correspond with 'devoid of embarrassment', and he did not want to make an idiot of himself in front of the whole school on his very first day. He watched in idle curiosity as other students were sorted. He didn't pay much attention. What did he care what house they got into? He didn't know any of them, and he didn't know what house he'd be in, so as of yet there was no point remembering anynames or faces. However, this lack of attention also meant he was entirely unprepared for when his name was called. "Seele, Jagged." He walked forward, his face expressionless, and sat on the stool. He tried hard not to focus on how many heads had warn this hat, how often the other wearers might wash their hair, and how many of them had lice. He also attempted to keep all thought from his mind about how tatted and dirty the hat had appeared to start with. The filth probably wouldn't harm him, it was possibly even just for aesthetic effect. The hat flopped down in front of his eyes, and began to speak in his ear. *sniffles* I'm old, not dirty, young man! But let's do what you came here for. Let me see... You're a well-educated young man already. I see your parents saw to it that you become very ambitious. Your way of thinking is so logical, so clear and cunning. There can be no discussion. You'll be a SLYTHERIN! |

| Tara felt like a fool. She had no idea what was going on, only that she figured that she was having a really strange dream. After all, she had little knowledge of the world of wizarding, and watching the other students place a singing hat on their head seemed like an odd, twisted musical that she would someday write. It sounded rehearsed when her name was called, like she was waiting for a cue. And when "Nichol, Tara" came out of the woman's mouth, she headed toward the hat, ready for this play to come to some sort of conclusion. Tripping over her robes, she found herself on her hands and knees. Embarrassed, she stood up, glad that this fall was only part of the dream, and sat in the chair. |

| as toppy enters the great hall he looks around in wonderment. his sisters told hime that hogwarts was amazing but he never thought that it would be this magical. he slowly walked with the rest of the first years to the middle of the hall. there were five tables in the hall. four of themm were occupied with students and the other held the teachers. he looked over the teacchers and saw that they all seemed really friendly. all except for one who looked like a vampire. the hall was buzzing with the chatter of sttudents catching up about what they did over the holidays and talking about the new year. toppy saw that some of the students already knew each other. he couldnt wait to start exploring the castle and apparently there was a forest that was forbidden, which only made it all the more exciting to explore. he asked a boy next to him if he has any brothers or sisters. he said he only had one other sister and that she was a year younger. the boy asked toppy if he knew what we were supposed to do and toppy told him that his sisters said that they had to put on some sort of hat and they would get sorted into a house. he looked relieved. suddenly the doors opened again and the first years looked around. an old professor was walking towards the front of the group with a old tattered hat in one hand and a stool in the other. she set the stool down in front of the teachers table so that everyone could see whoever sat on the stool. she explained to them that they would each be called up and would have to put the hat on. after that the hat would call out a house and they would move off and sit at that house table. as the teacher called out the names of the students they each walked up, put the hat on, waited a small while and then be designated a house. finally toppy hearwed his name being called out and went up to the stool and sat on it. the hat was placed over his head and everything went dark... |

| Yumiko waited impatiently, she practicaly skipped to the sorting hat whne her name was called. When the hat was put on she thought 'Oh sorting hat, please place me in the house that is ment for me!' she almost burst out laughing. |

| Paris walked in the Great Hall, she was walking at the back of the group as far away as she could get from the Mudbloods. She would sneer at any one who she thought might be one. The group stopped infront of a hat on a stool. Must be the Sorting hat Paris though. The hat looked very dirty, must not have ever been washed. Paris couldn't believe she had to put that thing on her head! The same ting that had been on Mudbloods heads! Paris shuddered. Well if her Father could do it, she could as well; but she knew it was even hard for Father to put the dirty thing on is head. A girls name was called and she pushed straight pass Paris, knocking her. Paris glared at her, must be a mudblood. "Hayes, Paris" It was Paris's turn to put the dirty hat on. She made her way up to the stool, nose high in the air and sat down. The dirty hat was put on her head |

| [FONT=Arial][COLOR=purple] Detouyia walks to the great hall with the rest of her fellow first years. 'man i'm nervous' she thinks. She follows the rest of the students up to the front. Detouyia's at the back, as usual. She stands there quietly, waiting for the Professor to call her name, the Professor is droaning on and on, Touyia spaces out. 'Man if i get into Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw dad'll kill me' she thinks. She continues to think about all the horrible ways dad'll torture her if she doesnt get into Slytherin, in her parents mind she's a devil. Detouyia snaps out of her trance to somebody screaming her name and a whole bunch of people staring at her. Opps' she thinks, got carried away. Detouyia elbows her way to the fron of the crowd, carefully stomping on peoples toes that are in her way, and whispering insults to the people who are staring.  She sits on the stool and puts on the hat |

| Emily stood off to the side, staying out of the line so that she could see the sorting process. She curved her eybrows in interest, watching as the hat screamed out a name for each student. She saw a girl giggle and tumble over to the stool - the hat only on her head a second before screaming 'Hufflepuff!' Ugh, she thought. Too silly. She saw a boy who looked greasy and sleazy, with a face like a rat. When the hat said Slytherin, Emily visibly shuddered. Another boy had the hat say Ravenclaw, and while the boy looked perfectly decent, the table he went over to was filled with books plopped on top of the food. 'No thanks!' she thought. That left one house - and a girl right before Emily was sorted there. "Alright," thought Emily, looking over to the Gryffindor table. 'And red, it's my colour. I hope I end up there.' "Brook, Emily." Emily sprinted to the hat and plopped it on her head. "Heya hat," she smiled. "I'll like you if you like me. C'mon now!" |

| *Dante Hades walks hazzily in, his mouth open slightly in awe at the beautiful sight of the room, but he was half terrified of having to be sorted; It seemed an awfully big and scary thing to have to do. He watched nervously as people got up to the chair infront of them and shook as the hat dropped over their eyes. Dante screwed up his fists just thinking it wouldn't be so bad if everyone wasn't there watching him. A few of the people he'd talked to on the way here had definate ideas about what house they wanted to be in, and they all told him the one they liked was the best. All the contradicting opinions and people confused him slightly and he would just be happy to be sorted at all. In fatc all he really wanted at this moment was to get it over with and go have something to eat. Starting to daydream slightyl about large mashed potatoes and big crispy chicken wings he started to drool slightyl when he was knocked from behind. "they said your name...." The girl behind me urgently whispered with a scared look at me. "HADES DANTE!!!" He tall rather terrifying man called again. *Dante Hades hurried to the front of the hall, too embarassed at not hearing his name the first time to even think of all the people watching him and rammed the hat over his redding head. |

| Nicole leaned her head upon her palm and waited for her name to be called. "Hyde, Nicole!" Belowed the voice from across the Great Hall as she stood and made her way up to the hat. "I'm ready!" she thought confidentally waiting for her sortment. |
