Brooke shivered as she saw the Great Hall, her parents and her older sister had told her all about Hogwarts. She didn't know what to do. Her first friend, she had met on the train, lost Giselle in the large crowd of first years. Now Brooke was all alone with only her trunk and herself.

It was The Sorting she was waiting for. She waited for her name to be called to sit on the wooden stool, and place the very ragged brown crooked hat on her head. Names were called, just not hers. She saw a girl in front of her. She wanted to say hi, but couldn't get her courage to do it.

Faintly and finally she gathered enough to speak with the girl. “Hi, I'm Brookline Quinn, I hope to be a Ravenclaw, which house do you want to be in?” Brooke spoke, not remembering this girl could be a muggle witch and the girl could be confused and this could all go wrong..

As Brooke waited for the girl to response, trains of thoughts wiggled in and out and in and out. She felt like it never will go back to normal. She wasn't sure if Hogwarts was gonna change her life. She didn't know the house she was gonna get either.

Brooke thought about her childhood friends as she listened to the girl, Elisa, speak. She noticed Elisa had took a small step back. Hmm. Wonder why she did that? Do I bite? Brooke thought,watching the girl. Luckily, this girl was at least a half-blood, so she felt better that this conversation hadn’t gone messed up. She would of felt bad if it had the girl hadn’t known what the houses were.

“Hi Elisa! That's cool! My mom was in Ravenclaw while my father had been a Hufflepuff, although any house would be good, but My older sister was a Ravenclaw. She was expelled though. I think it was because she had gotten in too much trouble. I-I hope I don’t expelled. This school sounds kinda cool,” The girl ranted nervously, it was weird being here at Hogwarts, and it didn’t help that her new friends Audrey and Giselle weren't here. Also the girl had stepped back so she wondered if Elisa didn’t like her. Did she? Or was the girl just nervous? That Brooke had no idea how to answer that question.

Brooke noticed that she was ranting. Ugh, come on, she thought and said, “Oops, I’ll let yeh talk. I’m just pretty nervous,” Brook shook her sweaty hands to prove her point. Laughing nervously at herself, Brooke smiled at the girl.

Elisa laughed awkwardly as the girl commented about talking for too long. She didn't specially care if people rambled on. Quite on the contrary, Elisa far preferred listening than talking.

Her eyes slid back to the rest of the Great Hall, where, to her surprise, the Sorting Ceremony had already begun. People were being called, one by one, by alphabetical order, she noticed. Then- at least, she'd know when her turn would come. She was almost always the last, because Wagner started with a W. She wondered when the girl- Brookline, would be called. Her surname was... Kuinn? No, it probably wasn't with a 'K'... 'Quinn', then. Well, they still had time.

Meanwhile, Elisa shifted nervously on her feet. The way to the rickety three legged stool at the other end of the hall seemed so long! Would she trip on her robes? They were a teeny bit too long... I must be careful about my posture! she thought.

The Slytherin table applauded loudly when a boy got sorted into the green and silver house.

"I hope I don't get into Slytherin..." Elisa muttered unconsciously to herself. She didn't want to be found among Dark Wizards... no, she preferred to be in Ravenclaw.

As yet another student got called to the front, Elisa couldn't control her shaking anymore. This was such an important and decisive moment of her life!

OOC Notes: No worries! I just hope we can finish this thread before this year's sorting ceremony

Brooke looked around nervously, and watched her new friend as well look around the huge hall. Drawing a sharp breath, the witch brought her fingernails to her mouth. Brooke started chewing her nails in a nervous conscious. She knew her father wouldn't like it if his daughter got Hufflepuff but his sons got Ravenclaw.

Her father could be a little odd sometimes. He prefer his sons rather his daughters. He's very biased, Brooke thought, grimcing as she thought of her father. Having more daughters than sons, he neglected all four daughters, and if he wasn’t “chillin’ ” as he calls it, he would play baseball with the little four year old, Chase Jr., the son he named himself. Even though, Chase Jr. would rather play with his best friends; Beth (Elizabeth), Line (Brookline), Nie (Minnie), and Ria (Maria), his sisters. Brooke was happy that her little brothers liked her better than her alcohol-loving-attive father.

Brooke saw a boy was sorted in the Slytherin. Crossing her fingers, she hoped neither her new friend Elisa or herself was in the cunning house where it's prone for Dark Wizards to rise. She knew she was a rule breaker, she knew she would probably go to the snake house. But she rather not. She rather go to Ravenclaw and be an eagle, stretching her wings in wisdom and what she would add: freedom.

Frankly and sadly, Brooke knew it was her turn soon to walk up to the stool and set the very old wrinkly brown moldy stained hat upon her very brunette haired head. She heard a sound besides other than the loudly clapping. It was Eliaa muttering to herself. “I sure hope you be a Ravenclaw, it would be fun to hang out with you!” Brooke added encouragingly to the downcast brown haired girl.

I hope so too! Tho, I’m pretty sure a few more posts will do it!

Elisa shifted nervously on her feet. The first year group was really quiet, too quiet. The others are probably as nervous as I am, Elisa thought. She looked around. They probably all were, Brookline, for instance, was bitting her fingernails. That wasn't exactly a good habit, in fact, it was not very sanitary, but Elisa understood. She herself was twisting her fingers to the point where they hurt.

"I hope so, too." Elisa replied to Brooke.

The time passed, quietly. A few more students got sorted.

Silently, Elisa cursed her own surname. Why did it have to start with a W? Why not some letter earlier in the alphabet? Or, why could they not sort the students by age order. From the oldest to the youngest? Then Elisa wouldn't have to be the last one.

The thought made her shiver. Being last meant standing alone and having all eyes glued on her. The group of 1^st Years was already shrinking. A few more had been called to the stool.

It was almost Brookline's turn, she knew it.

"Good luck!" she whispered, her voice quavering, "Hope to see you in Ravenclaw!" she called out, as Brooke's name was called. Oh man, was it stressful!

. Shaking, the poor first year chewed her fingernails more. All she ever wanted was to be among the wise and witty.

Waiting was stressful for Brookline, she heard Elisa’s short reply. Nodding to her, Brookline continued to chew her fingernails. The long line of first years was shrinking dramatically. A surname beginning with the letter “P” was called. Oh, shit. she thought as she hoped there was another kid’s surname that starts with “P”.

“Quinn, Brookline! Oh no, Brookline walked slowly up to the stool. Whispering back to Elisa, “Yeh too!!” A hopeful smile appeared on her face.

Taking the rugged brown hat and placed on her head, she sat on the stool, one foot on the wooden stick attached to the stool while her fingers placed themselves at the curve of the stool, gripping tight. She wanted Ravenclaw so bad.

“Alright, wit, ooh, intelligence, daring, sly, creative alright, hmm ....” A soft raspy whispered voice tickled her ear. Please, please not Slytherin nor me or Elisa. Brooke thought, her fingers tighten their grip on the stool. “Hmmm, does someone want Slytherin?” the voice whispered again, their raspy tone sounded like fingers running down a chalk board. No! Ravenclaw, anything, just not Slytherin, she thought, her eyes opened to see the line of first years dwindled than when she first came in.

“Well, then.......RAVENCLAW!”

Phew! She heard the clapping and all she wanted to was cry happy tears but she couldn’t now. She walked to hee table and watched the rest of ceremony. She crossed her fingers. She really hoped Elisa got Ravenclaw.

Elisa watched nervously as Brookline walked up to the stool. Seconds passed as though minutes, hours even.

She wiped her sweaty hands on her new robes, her eyes not leaving Brookline's back. It felt like forever before the Sorting Hat finally shouted, "Ravenclaw!". Elisa's hands forgot how to clap and her mouth forgot how to cheer.

She stood there frozen, unable to move a single muscle.

A Gryffindor, a Slytherin, another Slytherin, a Hufflepuff... The first year students' group lessened and lessened.

Until it was only shivering Elisa and a couple others.

"Wagner, Elisa!" Her heart skipped a beat.

She took a shaky step.

And another.

She could feel all the stares on her. The stares of all the student and professors of Hogwarts. Her cheeks burned as though they were on fire. She bit her tongue, holding back the tears that were about to spill from her eyes.

Never, in all her life, had Elisa been the center of so much attention. She could not support it. It should pass as quickly as possible!

Elisa quickened her pace. She strolled, almost ran to the rickety stool.

She sat on it. It shook, or maybe she was shivering too hard.

Somebody placed a hat on her head. She held back her breath- no, she just couldn't breath.

"Ooh... let's see, let's see...", a small voice whispered in her ear. Elisa closed her eyes tightly. "Very good brain, huh? Yes, yes, I see... very smart indeed. But- ooh, what is this I see here? Ambition! Great, strong ambition... Very obvious, yes... better be- SLYTHERIN!"

Elisa almost fainted.

Her brain was buzzing loudly, her vision blurry. She didn't even notice the hat being retrieved from her head.

A conscious part of her brain told her to stand.

She stood.

She took a shaky step.

And another.

And another

She turned her head, looking back at the hat. Was it her imagination, or the hat actually nodded, as though confident of its choice, before being placed on the next student's head.

She walked stiffly towards the green and silver table.

She sat down.

She did not feel the pat on her back, did not hear the cheers.

Am I destined to become a dark wizard?
